The One Thing You Never Noticed About Your Favorite Movie
If you know 15 of these easter eggs, you're a true fan.
By Bob Larkin June 20, 2019
By Bob Larkin
Famed director Alfred Hitchcock was among the first auteurs to fill his films with Easter eggs. We don't mean actual eggs, of course. We're talking about those blink-or-you'll-miss-them moments, which the vast majority of audiences never realize are hiding in plain sight.
Hitchcock made cameo appearances in 39 of his films, always in the background, just passing through, and inconspicuous enough not to be noticed. Unless you knew, for instance, that portly old man leaving a pet shop with two small dogs in the horror classic The Birds was really the Master of Suspense himself, he wouldn't warrant a second glance.
It was the beginning of a tradition that has continued in movies to this day. Many of the most beloved films of our time have Easter eggs that aren't immediately apparent to the casual viewer. Some of them are intentional, and some are accidents, but finding these off-the-radar moments has become a hobby for movie lovers everywhere. It's like discovering a secret that's just between you and the filmmaker, something so subtle as to almost be subliminal, and that makes you part of a very exclusive club. Here are 25 of our favorite Easter egg moments from movies you may think you already know inside and out.
Daniel Craig played a Stormtrooper in Star Wars: The Force Awakens.
Lucasfilm Ltd. Bad Robot Productions, via youtube
It was just good timing and a lucky coincidence that led James Bond himself to put on a Stormtrooper helmet and join the Dark Side. Daniel Craig was in England shooting Spectre, the 24th Bond flick, when he learned that the latest Star Wars movie was being produced by the same studio. As he explained in an interview with Stephen Colbert, he just asked director J.J. Abrams, "Can I be in it?"
The answer, of course, was yes. And he's not only in a big scene—he's the Stormtrooper that Rey (Daisy Ridley) tries to escape by using the Jedi Mind Trick, if you'll recall—he also has lines, calling the future Jedi hero "scavenger scum."
There's a coffee cup in every scene in Fight Club.
Fox Searchlight Pictures, Inc. via youtube
You may have noticed a lot of coffee drinking going on in David Fincher's 1999 masterpiece, but it turns out there's a coffee cup—and more often than not, a Starbucks coffee cup—in every single scene. You might not always see the logo, but java from the hugely popular coffee chain is always there. "I don't have anything personal against Starbucks," Fincher once explained in a 1999 interview with Empire magazine. "I think they're trying to do a good thing. They're just too successful."
Alan Rickman is genuinely surprised to be falling in Die Hard.
Gordon Company, Silver Pictures, via youtube
You probably thought that the shocked expression on Alan Rickman's face at the end of Die Hard, when Bruce Willis dropped him to his death, was all acting. But his surprise in that moment is 100 percent genuine.
The stuntmen charged with releasing Rickman from a height of 25 feet, where he'd fall into an airbag, played a little trick on him. Though they promised to let go of Rickman on the count of three, they let go at one instead. "That's true terror you see in his face," visual effects supervisor Richard Edlund said in an interview. "He's really scared of falling backwards, as anybody would be, even though it was going to be a nice soft blue pillow filled with air below."
C-3PO and R2-D2 make a cameo in Raiders of the Lost Ark.
Lucasfilm via YouTube
The robot besties from Star Wars made not one but two subtle cameos in the first Indiana Jones adventure. First, in the scene where Jones (played by Star Wars regular Harrison Ford) discovers the Ark, tiny hieroglyphs of C-3P0 and R2-D2 are visible on a pillar right behind him.
They're more obvious later in the film, when Jones and Sallah (John Rhys-Davies) are lifting the Ark (seen here), and hieroglyphics in the background are clearly depicting the moment when Princess Leia uploads secret files to R2-D2 as C-3PO watches. It's not the only time that Star Wars gets a shout-out in the Indiana Jones series; in Temple of Doom, the nightclub in the opening scene is called "Club Obi-Wan."
Captain America: The Winter Soldier remembers Samuel L. Jackson's other iconic role.
Marvel Studios, via youtube
Fans of Samuel L. Jackson may love his portrayal of Nick Fury in the Marvel movies, but those of us who've followed his career for a while know there's one role that defines him more than any other. That's why it was such a delight to see the Easter egg hidden in The Winter Soldier. At the movie's end, when Fury stands next to his own (fake) grave, we get a brief glimpse of the tombstone's epitaph: "The path of the righteous man: Ezekiel 25:17," which any Pulp Fiction fan will recognize.
Heath Ledger's daughter has a semi-appearance in The Dark Knight.
Warner Bros. Pictures, Legendary Pictures, Syncopy, via youtube
Want to get all choked up watching a Batman movie? Give The Dark Knight another viewing, but this time pay special attention to the name tag on the Joker's nurse outfit. It reads "Matilda," which just so happens to be the first name of Heath Ledger's daughter. Also, try not to remember that Ledger died shortly after this movie. (We're not crying, you're crying.)
Steve Buscemi reveals the running time in Fargo.
PolyGram Filmed Entertainment, Working Title Films, via youtube
When Carl (played brilliantly by Steve Buscemi) chastises car salesman Jerry Lundegaard (William H. Macy) in one of the final scenes of Fargo, you probably didn't think to check your watch. But when he started yelling, "30 minutes, Jerry. We wrap this thing up," he doesn't just mean their criminal scheme. Either by accident or design (we still aren't sure), he utters that line exactly 30 minutes before the movie's ending.
The real Frank Abagnale arrests himself in Catch Me If You Can.
Amblin Entertainment Parkes/MacDonald Productions, via youtube
You likely already knew that this thriller starring Leonardo DiCaprio was based on a true story. But only a few true crime aficionados recognized that it was the real Frank Abagnale—played by DiCaprio in the film—making a surprise cameo as a French policeman. Even better, Abagnale got the unique opportunity to arrest himself, recreating the scene that he experienced firsthand many decades earlier (except back then, he was on the receiving end of the handcuffs).
The letter X foreshadows death in The Departed.
Plan B Entertainment, Initial Entertainment Group, Vertigo Entertainment, Media Asia Films, via youtube
The violence in Martin Scorsese's crime drama can feel random and arbitrary, but there are actually not-so-subtle clues before every death scene. When any character is on the verge of being offed, an X appears somewhere in the frame with them. (Here are a few examples.) The only primary character who never gets killed, Sgt. Dignam (Mark Wahlberg), manages to avoid being in the presence of Xs entirely. The conceit is actually an homage to one of Scorsese's favorite films, the 1932 gangster flick Scarface, where Xs predicting character deaths are even more obvious.
Pac-Man shows up in Tron.
Walt Disney Productions, Lisberger-Kushner Productions, via youtube
The original Tron from 1982 may seem adorably antiquated by today's video game standards, but it's still worth rewatching, especially for some of the hidden Easter gags. Our favorite is the unexpected appearance of Pac-Man in the corner of a screen. It's easy to miss, but if you listen closely, you can even hear the unmistakable "waka-waka" sound effects as he munches on white dots.
The Toy Story series has multiple references to The Shining.
Walt Disney Pictures, Pixar Animation Studios, via youtube
The last pop culture reference we expected to see in the Toy Story series was a nod toward Stanley Kubrick's very scary (and not at all kid-friendly) horror movie The Shining. But they're everywhere! In the original movie, the carpet in Sid's house is identical to the pattern used in Overlook Hotel, where the young Danny rode his Big Wheel through the hallways and occasionally bumped into ghosts.
In Toy Story 3, the number "237" is mentioned repeatedly, which Shining fans will recall is the room number of the Overlook's most haunted room. As Toy Story 3 director Lee Unkrich said in an interview, The Shining was "the film that inspired me to become a filmmaker myself."
Kurt Russell has the same weapon load-out as Marvin the Martian.
Morgan Creek Productions, via youtube
In the dystopian action thriller Soldier, Kurt Russell plays a military assassin who's been replaced by a new breed of genetically flawless soldiers. It may not sound like a laugh riot, but there are subtle jokes hidden throughout the movie. When a list of the weapons that Russell is proficient with are displayed on a screen, one of them is the "Illudium Pu36 Esm." Sound familiar? You might know it better as the Illudium Pu36 Explosive Space Modulator, the Earth-destroying contraption wielded by Marvin the Martian in Looney Tunes cartoons.
Waldo is among the dead in Apocalypto.
Touchstone Pictures, Icon Productions, via youtube
Mel Gibson's Apocalypto certainly wasn't made to be funny seeing as it's about the fall of the Mayan civilization in the 16th century. But Gibson slipped a joke in anyway. In a scene where Jaguar Paw (played by Rudy Youngblood) discovers a mass grave, one of the bodies is instantly recognizable. It's Waldo! As in Where's Waldo?! From the books! The lighthearted moment was meant to relieve some of the tension, but not everyone was amused, and the footage was later cut for the DVD release.
Oranges foreshadow death in the Godfather films.
Paramount Pictures, Alfran Productions, via youtube
With all the oranges being eaten in the Godfather films, you'd think gangsters were especially concerned about their vitamin C levels. But it's actually more about symbolism than nutrition.
Not unlike the Xs in Scorsese's The Departed, when a mafioso is seen with an orange, their time left is limited. This is most noteworthy in the original Godfather: Whether Vito (Marlon Brando) was buying oranges (just before that assassination attempt) or peeling an orange to play with his grandson (just before he dies from a cardiac arrest), oranges are never harbingers of good news.
The mall changes names in Back to the Future.
Amblin Entertainment, Universal Pictures, via free to find truth
Doc Brown (Christopher Lloyd) specifically warned Marty McFly (Michael J. Fox) that anything he did in the past during his time-traveling adventures would have an impact on the future—and that wasn't just true when it came to his parents' relationship. Marty's favorite shopping center in 1985 is called Twin Pines Mall, but when he travels to the past and crashes into a tree, it changes the future in ways not all movie audiences noticed. Back in his present time, the mall is named Lone Pine Mall, since only one tree remained after the crash.
Tim Robbins spoils the great escape in Shawshank Redemption.
Castle Rock Entertainment, via youtube
A huge spoiler was revealed during one of the opening scenes of Shawshank Redemption and it went right over our collective heads. When Andy (Tim Robbins) is feeling especially despondent, he tells Red (Morgan Freeman) about his dream of escaping to Mexico and starting over. Red dismisses this idea as a "pipe dream." Well, as you may remember, a pipe is exactly how Andy makes his escape later in the movie. So, in a way, Red was right after all.
Snakes on a Plane teaches you how to put snakes on a plate.
Mutual Film Company, via youtube
There's so much over-the-top hilarity in Snakes on a Plane, it's easy to miss some of the smaller sight gags. But this is one of our favorites: When a flight attendant grabs a snake and stuffs it in a microwave, she hits a preset button marked "Snake." Last time we looked, the snake-cooking feature didn't come standard.
Those are real skeletons in the pool in Poltergeist.
SLM Production Group, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, via youtube
In this horror classic's terrifying conclusion, Diane Freeling (JoBeth Williams) is dragged into the family's swimming pool, where she's surrounded in the muddy waters by skeletons. Her terror seemed genuine in the film, but it could've been far worse. "In my innocence and naiveté, I assumed that these were not real skeletons," Williams explained in an interview. "I assumed that they were prop skeletons made out of plastic or rubber." She soon learned that they were actually real skeletons, "because it's far too expensive to make fake skeletons out of rubber," she said.
Abraham Lincoln gets assassinated in Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs.
Sony Pictures Animation, via reddit
You don't expect a history lesson from an animated movie for kids. But that's what we got from Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs. As food falls from the sky and makes a mess of the town below, pie is slammed into the faces of every U.S. president on Mount Rushmore—all except for Abraham Lincoln, who gets pied in the back of his head. You don't have to be a historian to remember that this is exactly how Lincoln was assassinated (except, uh, not with a pie).
The cereals at Hogwarts are much like cereals in the muggle world.
Warner Bros. Pictures, Heyday Films, 1492 Pictures, via youtube
Wizards are just like us! The breakfast food most commonly on display in the Great Hall of Hogwarts was cereal. As you may have seen in several of the Harry Potter movies—if you had your eyes on the background—the kids were just as likely to be munching on wizard-only cereals like Cheeri Owls and Pixie Puffs.
The disclaimer in Frozen says: Don't eat your boogers!
Walt Disney Pictures, Walt Disney Animation Studios, via youtube
If you have kids or grandkids, you've seen the movie Frozen more times than you can count. In one memorable scene, which probably inspired some giggles in your little ones, Kristoff reveals to Anna the disgusting detail that all boys eat their own boogers. Well, in a clever callback to that moment, the closing credits offer this disclaimer: "The views and opinions expressed by Kristoff in the film that all men eat their own boogers are solely his own and do not necessarily reflect the views or opinions of The Walt Disney Company or the filmmakers. Neither The Walt Disney Company nor the filmmakers make any representation of the accuracy of any such views and opinions."
That giggle fit in The Usual Suspects wasn't a spoof.
Bad Hat Harry Productions, Blue Parrot, Spelling Films International, via youtube
The lineup of crooks and thieves in The Usual Suspects wasn't intended to be anything but deadly serious, and yet the characters burst into laughter for (seemingly) no reason. What was going on? On commentary featured in the special edition DVD release, actor Benicio del Toro revealed that the mood lightener was actually—wait for it—flatulence. "All I remember is that someone farted," he said, "and no one knew who the guilty party was." Kevin Pollak had a different memory of the culprit. "Del Toro farted like 12 takes in a row," he insisted. We'll never watch this scene the same way again.
Kurt Russell's shirt from Big Trouble in Little China makes a comeback in Death Proof.
Troublemaker Studios, via youtube
Quentin Tarantino loves filling his movies with near-imperceptible details that only the most observant fans notice. Case in point, his 2007 "Grindhouse" feature Death Proof, where Kurt Russell plays the murderous Stuntman Mike. Among the memorabilia hanging on the wall at the Texas Chilli Parlor, right above Jungle Julia's table, there's a tank top with a samurai and rising sun on it that's easy to miss. Little did most audiences realize that it's the same shirt worn by Russell in John Carpenter's B-movie cult classic Big Trouble in Little China.
Drew Barrymore returns to her E.T. childhood in Charlie's Angels.
Columbia Pictures via YouTube
By the time she was starring as a butt-kicking undercover agent in the 2000 reboot of Charlie's Angels, Drew Barrymore's cherub-cheeked beginnings in Steven Spielberg's E.T. were long behind her. But she gave us a little reminder of her roots when her character burst into the room of some teenage boys. If it looked vaguely familiar that's because it's the very same bedroom set from E.T. Look closer and you'll see the E.T. poster on the wall, and both boys are eating Reese's Pieces, the favorite candy of Barrymore's alien best friend.
There are literal Easter eggs in The Rocky Horror Picture Show.
While prepping for production, the cast and crew of The Rocky Horror Picture Show kept themselves amused with an actual Easter egg hunt. They were a little too good at hiding, however, as not all of the colorful eggs were found before the cameras rolled. If you look closely, you can see one of the eggs under Frank N. Furter's throne.

Cotton: NYT Runs 'Chinese Communist Propaganda'
Thursday on Fox News Channel's America's Newsroom, Republican Sen. Tom Cotton, who sparked controversy earlier this year when the New York Times caved to Cancel Culture and apologized for publishing his op-ed, slammed the Times for running an op-ed by a Chinese molecular neurobiologist, stating that the paper "will run explicit Chinese Communist propaganda, but they can't run op-eds from Republican senators."
In response to the Times publishing "My Relatives in Wuhan Survived. My Uncle in New York Did Not" by Dr. Yi Rao, Cotton said, "So, I guess the New York Times op-ed page now will run explicit Chinese Communist propaganda, but they can't run op-eds from Republican senators. Let's take a closer look at this author. He was a Chinese national. He immigrated here. He even naturalized to the United States, swore allegiance to our nation, and said he wanted to be an American citizen, but then he left and went back to China and renounced his citizenship, apparently because he didn't like George W. Bush's policies.
"There's no doubt that this is just another effort by the Chinese Communist Party to exercise influence operations through the organs of American culture and media," Cotton continued. "It's disappointing to see the New York Times run propaganda like this, but it's not terribly surprising."
Not only is it not terribly surprising, it's predictable. The New York Times has been nothing but a leftist propaganda outlet since at least the 1930's. It's an enemy of the American people.

Unbeaten Nashoba headed to Central Mass. final
By Chris Klingenberg and Correspondent |
PUBLISHED: November 6, 2015 at 12:00 a.m. | UPDATED: July 11, 2019 at 12:00 a.m.
BOLTON — Nearly a month ago, the Nashoba Regional football team shut out Marlboro High in impressive fashion with a 28-0 victory.
On Friday night, the Panthers got a chance at revenge when they visited the Chieftains for the second time this fall.
Once again the magic number on this night was 28 as the top-seeded hosts earned a hard-fought 28-14 victory over fourth-seeded Marlboro in a Central Mass. Division 2 semifinal clash.
"I knew that was going to be the case," said Nashoba head coach Jamie Tucker. "I knew Marlboro was going to play hard. I have been saying all week that I didn't think the score last time was indicative of how good Marlboro was. We came out in the second half and made some big plays."
With the win, Nashoba ran its record to a perfect 9-0. The Chieftains will next face third-seeded St. John's of Shrewsbury — which knocked off second-seeded Leominster — in Friday's district championship game in Bolton.
This game was much different from the one back on Oct. 9. The Panthers wasted no time opening people's eyes as the visitors needed just four plays to open up a lead on the Chieftains. Owen Cappadona scored Marlboro's first touchdown when he sprinted in from 33 yards out. Sam Dias booted through the extra point to give the Panthers a 7-0 lead just 1:47 into the game.
On the ensuing drive, Nashoba responded. Like he has all year long, senior captain Jake Benjamin (17 carries, 121 yards, TD) powered the Chieftains into the end zone. Benjamin capped off the drive when he busted in from 4 yards out. Matt Allaire booted through the extra point to knot the game at 7-7.
It wasn't until 4:03 left in the opening half that either team found the end zone again. Senior Egan Bachtell (8 carries, 53 yards, 2 TD) gave the hosts the lead when he scored on an 11-yard run. Allaire once again booted through the extra point to give the Chieftains a 14-7 halftime lead.
The Chieftains scored what turned out to be game-winner on their first possession of the second half as Nashoba embarked on a nine-play drive that covered 62 yards. Fullback Jake Fire (11 carries, 76 yards, TD) capped off the drive with an 8-yard touchdown run. Allaire booted through the extra point to give Nashoba a 21-7 lead with 7:38 left in the third quarter.
Bachtell helped Nashoba put this one out of reach when he scored on an 8-yard touchdown run with 33 seconds left in the third quarter. Following Allaire's fourth extra point, the Chieftains held a 28-7 lead.
"I have a lot of confidence in a lot of guys," Tucker said speaking about his running backs. "We have a ton of guys who I can put in there who are capable. Everyone did their job tonight."
Marlboro continued to fight in the fourth quarter and cut the lead to 28-14 after Luke Goulet scored on a 1-yard touchdown run with 7:58 left in the game.

Federal worker compensation is rising faster than compensation in the private sector. On average, federal workers now earn 80 percent more in wages and benefits than other Americans, as examined in this blog yesterday. The data come from the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA), and is discussed further in this study.
The BEA breaks down the data by industry. The chart below shows average compensation for the BEA's 19 major private industries and the military, state and local governments, federal civilian workers, and federal government enterprises (mainly the postal service).
The federal government has the third highest paid workers in the United States after utilities and the management of companies. Federal compensation is higher, on average, than compensation in the information, finance and insurance, and professional and scientific industries.
Federal compensation is twice as high as compensation in the education industry, and is almost three times higher than compensation in retail trade.
Further discussion of federal pay is here.

Information About Ralph Lauren
History of Ralph Lauren
Born in New York during the late 1930s, Ralph Lauren had a passion for fashion at a young age and, after working at Brooks Brothers for a period, he formed his own company selling ties. Today, the Ralph Lauren Corporation is one of the world's leading brands and sells everything from top of line clothing to home furnishings, perfumes and time pieces. The brand is available at more than 11,000 boutiques worldwide, including large department stores such as Harrods. Its first UK store opened its doors on New Bond Street in London during the summer of 1981 and it remains a flagship emporium today.
Over the years, Ralph Lauren has immersed itself in a range of activities outside of haute couture. In particular, it is a brand which believes in raising much needed funds for charitable causes. It regularly lends its name to a number of events and in the mid-2000s it established the Ralph Lauren Center for Cancer Care and Prevention in New York City. Other charitable ventures include its Pink Pony Campaign in support of research into breast cancer, its Children's Literacy Program and its American Heroes Fund, which provides college scholarships to the children of those killed and injured on September 11, 2001.
Ralph Lauren is also heavily involved in sports. While polo is the sport it is best associated with, the label sponsors a number of top class golfers and has been the official supplier of apparel for line judges and ball boys and girls at Wimbledon since 2006.
The clothing offered on RalphLauren.co.uk is updated regularly so that it remains on trend, but no matter the season you can be sure you'll make a great saving by using voucher codes and special offers from 360vouchercodes.co.uk.
Ralph Lauren is most famous for its Polo range of clothing but it also produces a number of other lines. Its brands include:
Baby Ralph Lauren
Chaps (discontinued in the UK)
Polo Tennis (including Wimbledon range)
Ralph Lauren's name is also associated with a number of other brands which are no longer available. These include; Polo Jeans Company, Polo Sport, Polo Denim, and Blue Label.
Both Ralph Lauren stores and its official website have a number of departments, including;
Store opening times vary, with Ralph Lauren's flagship London stores on New Bond Street and Fulham Road open between 10am and 6pm (Mon-Fri), 10am and 7pm (Sat) and 12pm to 6pm (Sun).
Its RRL store on Mount Street, London is open between 10.30am to 6.30pm (Mon-Sat) and 12pm to 6pm (Sun), while its outlet stores in Ashford, Bicester, York, Swindon, Gretna, and Cheshire Oaks are typically open between 10am and 8pm (Mon-Fri), 9am and 7pm (Sat), and 11am to 5pm (Sun).

A conservation framework for empowerment in Namibia's Caprivi region
Conflict and poverty have long gone hand in hand in Namibia's Caprivi region, one of the poorest in the country. When not divided by secessionist impulses within, it has suffered from too close a proximity to civil war in Angola and civil unrest in Zimbabwe. In recent years, its best hopes of turnaround have been linked to its wildlife resources and the empowerment of its communities through a framework known as Community Based Natural Resource Management (CBNRM).
One legacy of Namibia's colonial past was a deep community suspicion of top down wildlife protection programmes, which denied traditional food and income sources to communities and increased costs from incursions into farmland by the now protected wildlife.
The usual result was widespread subversion of programmes, unhappy communities, and continuing degradation of landscape and resources and continuing declines in the populations of species such as the African elephant. Among the great variety of other wildlife found there are impala, duiker, roan, sable antelope, bushpig, francolin, springhare, baboon, lion, leopard, cheetah, wild dog, hippopotamus, hyena and crocodile.
Regional CBNRM Project for Capacity Building
WWF has been involved in developing the CBNRM programme throughout Namibia, and in the Caprivi area supports Namibian NGO Integrated Rural Development and Nature Conservation.
Links between Livelihoods and Wildlife
CBNRM, given legislative force in 1996 is incorporated in Namibian development planning. It gives communities conditional ownership of natural resources and the ability to benefit from consumptive and non-consumptive use of wildlife. This opens up sustainable additional revenue sources for communities, including conservation based employment, game hunting, sale of game and game products, sale of craft products and tourism.
Strengthening the people's assets
A 2003 study found key benefits from the creation of governance structures for the conservancies - the creation of pools of people with skills in management, organisation and negotiation and the creation of mechanisms for engaging with the private sector. Communities are more linked to their resource base and this helps not only with identifying threats but also opportunities.
Tourism as a strategy for rural development & poverty reduction
Capacity is being built through training and appropriate infrastructure that includes offices, craft markets and campsites that give local communities a more direct stake in tourism. The emphasis on participation extends to ensuring that women in particular are involved in conservancy activities and have opportunities to be elected to positions.
The resultant improved wildlife management practices are increasing this resource, and wildlife is returning to areas from which it had disappeared. The more positive attitude to wildlife has meant that conflicts between humans and wildlife are better managed through initiatives such as targeted compensation and "Problem Animal Management" schemes.
Benefits Generated from CBNRM
A number of studies conducted in the area note that it is the poorest people who are most dependent on natural resources and the most likely to suffer from resource depletion or animal depredations. Wildlife provides an important safety net to them and during times of adversity and resource shortage, its use is more commonplace. It provides both food and to a lesser extent income security.
CBNRM initiatives are directly addressing the issues of the poorest groups through improving resource security, addressing conflicts and reducing risk by providing more diverse livelihood options.
Species and People: Linked Futures - This report, commissioned by WWF and drawing on over 40 years experience in the field of species conservation, uses case studies from around the world to demonstrate that species conservation can, and is, contributing to sustainable development as measured against the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).

The SCOTUS Ruling & The Immigration Law
By Felicia J. Persaud
News Americas, NEW YORK, NY, Fri. July 3, 2015: The historic Supreme Court ruling on Friday, June 26th in the case of Jim Obergefell that gives same-sex couples the right to marry in any U.S. state and have the same rights as heterosexuals, now puts the spotlight again on the immigration rights of same sex couples.
Interestingly, the issue has been dealt with since the 2013 Supreme Court decision known as Windsor. Windsor overturned portions of the federal Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) that defined marriage simply as the legal union of a man and a woman.
That ruling effectively required federal agencies to recognize same-sex marriages. Shortly after the ruling, President Obama directed all federal departments and agencies, including the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), to implement the ruling swiftly and smoothly.
This paved the way for the US Citizenship & Immigration to start accepting and processing same-sex applications for spouse-based visas, fiancé visas, or derivative status on a spouse's citizenship status as they would for an opposite-sex marriage.
It means that any U.S. citizen or LPR who is validly married to a foreign national can sponsor his or her spouse for a family-based visa, regardless of the gender of each partner.
With the June 26th decision, the only limitations from the federal legal immigration hurdles facing gay, transgender, bi-sexual and lesbians will apply to those who are undocumented. The ruling will only help if the undocumented LGBT person gets married to a U.S. citizen and adjusts their status.
Under the 2013 rules, a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident in a same-sex marriage to a foreign national could sponsor their spouse for a family-based immigrant visa based on the same rules that applies to a heterosexual couple.
Meaning, to get a green card based on a sex-same marriage, you must be legally married, either in the U.S. or abroad and be able to demonstrate that the legal marriage is based on a genuine, bona fide relationship.
According to the U.S. Citizenship & Immigration Services, the U.S. citizen spouse must file Form I-130. The eligibility to petition for their spouse, and their spouse's admissibility as an immigrant at the immigration visa application or adjustment of status stage, will be determined according to applicable immigration law and will not be denied as a result of the same-sex nature of the marriage.
If you are a gay or lesbian U.S. citizen and are engaged to be married to someone of the same gender, then you are eligible to file a fiance petition. As long as all other immigration requirements are met, a same-sex engagement may allow your fiancé to enter the United States for marriage.
The holder of a K-1 fiancé petition may enter the U.S. for the purposes of getting married within 90 days of entering. On the basis of the marriage, the foreign national may then file for a green card through a process called adjustment of status.
An I-601 or I-601A immigration waiver may be necessary for gay and lesbian foreign nationals with certain problems such as criminal convictions, fraud, and unlawful presence. These waivers require a demonstration of extreme hardship to a qualifying U.S. citizen or permanent resident relative.
Same sex married couples can also benefit from Green Card Lottery wins where the permanent residency also applies to their same-sex married partners. Same-sex spouses of Treaty Trader (E-1) or Treaty Investor (E-2) visas may apply for an E visa derivative status, which also allows for work permits; H-4 visas are available for gay and lesbian individuals who wish to accompany their spouses on H-1B temporary work visas; and L-2 are available for gay and lesbian spouses of L-1 visa holders.
For more information see the USCIS website or directly at https://www.uscis.gov/family/same-sex-marriages

Facebook's Messenger Lite app hits the 100 million installs milestone
2017/12/19 4:13am PDT Dec 19, 2017
Many who've used Facebook's main or messaging apps over the years will be acutely aware of how resource and data-hungry they can be. Messenger Lite was a welcome addition when it was released on the Play Store back in October 2016, as it promised to solve both of those issues. The only problem at the time was that it was only launched in emerging markets.
Facebook expanded the app's reach to most of the globe, before eventually giving in and releasing it in the US and UK just a couple of months ago. Long before – back in August – Messenger Lite reached the 50 million installs mark. Unsurprisingly, since it's now almost universally available, the app has now passed the next major milestone with more than 100 million installs according to the Play Store.
It's worth noting that if an app comes preloaded on a phone, it still counts towards that number – even if it's never used. What's not included are the number of times the app has been installed from other sources, such as sideloading the APK. I downloaded the app from APKMirror before it was available here in the UK, and I'm sure a good number of others did the same thing.
If you use Facebook Messenger sparingly and would like it to be less conspicuous, I'd recommend giving the Lite version a go.

Facing the holidays after a loss can be a difficult journey. What was formerly a joyous occasion may now be marked by grief, sadness, regret, and uncertainty for you as you try to make sense of your losses and adapt to a reality that does not include your loved one. As the day gets closer and closer instead of bringing warmth and excitement it can bring back emotions that can be hard to deal with, and you can't wait for the day to be over. No matter where you are in your grief and healing process, we hope you take comfort remembering those who have gone ahead of us as we enter the coming holiday season together.
Being located within the community we wanted to create a gathering for the community. The Holiday Memorial Tree program was the first idea that came to mind and there was not any doubt that this was the program that we would like to offer.
We want people that attend to be thankful to be at a gathering place where everyone was there for the same reason. Where people could come to one place, with people that are experiencing the same emotions, that everyone understood the same feelings and yes, it is okay to shed some tears.
The Memorial Tree sits in our chapel with thousands of white lights on it. It is covered with crystal snowflakes that have the names of the family member that we gave care to. Family members are welcome to come and pick the ornament following the service or the week after, so they can put it on their tree at home. For those families' that choose not to pick it up the ornament we will mail the ornament or someone from the family is welcome to stop by and pick it up.
The Annual Christmas Service of Remembrance will be held the Second Saturday of December (12/8/2019) at our Facilities at 515 Center Street in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin. The service starts at 2 p.m. and features local clergy and music. After the service there will be a time for fellowship and refreshments.
If you have any questions about our Memorial Program, please feel free to call us at (262) 248-2320. We will be happy to answer any questions you have.

Walter Harold Hodder (1909 – 1993) was an educator and politician in Newfoundland. He represented Burgeo and La Poile in the Newfoundland House of Assembly from 1962 to 1971.

Hodder was born in Ireland's Eye, Trinity Bay and was educated at Bishop Feild College, at Memorial University College and at Mount Allison University. He taught school for 33 years, mainly in small communities on Newfoundland's south shore; Hodder also provided first aid and medical advice when the district nurse was not available. He was principal of elementary and high schools in Port aux Basques. He served as president of the local branches for the Newfoundland Teachers' Association and the Red Cross. Hodder served as lieutenant in the Canadian Officer Training Corps for the Canadian Army.

He was elected to the town council for Channel-Port aux Basques in 1956 and served as mayor from 1958 to 1962. Hodder was elected to the Newfoundland assembly in 1962. He was defeated when he ran for reelection in 1971. After leaving politics, he became a salesman of radio and home entertainment equipment.

His son Jim also served in the provincial assembly.

The Seattle Art Museum used double exposure as a medium to add an interactive element to the Art exhibits. These elements were of many kinds, such as audio and video commentaries, as well as paintings coming to life through portrait animations. This was done with the assistance of an AR app called Layar.
While Seattle used AR to enrich its existing installations, the Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago used extended reality as a an art installation in itself in its showcase "I Was Raised On The Internet". One of the installations, the Transdimensional Serpent, involved the visitors sitting on an Ouroboros, a serpent, which is seen eating its own tail. They were then equipped with a VR headset which then showed them magical sights and mystical creatures. And it doesn't end here. Soon enough the spectators were exposed to VR-ed versions of themselves on a VR-ed version of the snake. Mind-blowing, we'd say!

ROCKFORD (WREX) – A day after Jeff Sessions resigned as Attorney General, several people gathered in Rockford Thursday night to protest President Donald Trump and support special counsel Robert Mueller's Russia investigation.
The protest took place at Joe Marino Park. This was one of multiple protests going on not just in the region, but across the country. Protests were also scheduled to take place the same day in Beloit, DeKalb and Dixon.
Sessions resigned from his position at the request of President Trump on Wednesday. One factor that is believed to have led to the resignation is when Sessions recused himself from the Russia investigation. President Trump named Matthew Whitaker, who was Sessions' Chief of Staff, the acting Attorney General. In the past, Whitaker has been a critic of Mueller's Russia investigation.
Protests have also taken place in other locations such as Washington, South Florida, and Times Square.

NEW DELHI -- Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi heads to Nepal on Thursday to meet leaders of a bloc that straddles southern Asia for a summit that's being held in the shadow of China's rapidly expanding regional influence.
The seven-nation grouping, known as BIMSTEC, comprises Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Nepal, Myanmar, Thailand, and Sri Lanka.
Improved trade and connectivity in the bloc -- home to 1.6 billion people and with a combined gross domestic product of $2.8 trillion -- have the potential to help India counter Beijing's massive Belt and Road initiative of infrastructure investments that stretches across Asia through to Europe.
Preeti Saran, a secretary of India's Ministry of External Affairs, said last week that the bloc has made progress since its last meeting in Goa in 2016 in areas from security to transport, tourism, environment and energy. She said that member states are discussing a free trade area and a deal on customs cooperation.
Some connectivity projects are already underway. A highway linking India, Myanmar and Thailand is expected to be completed next year. Complementing this is the Kaladan multimodal transport project that will connect the eastern Indian seaport of Kolkata with Sittwe in Myanmar.
Pankaj Jha, a professor of defense and strategic studies at O.P. Jindal Global University, said that BIMSTEC, when combined with the Asia-Africa Growth Corridor -- an economic cooperation agreement between India, Japan and a group of African nations -- forms an ocean arch around China.
"If integrated, it creates a unique low-cost production hub which would be very good countervailing to any Chinese initiative with regard to BRI, particularly in trade and manufacturing," Jha said.
Jha added that the so-called Quad countries -- Australia, India, Japan and the U.S. -- would engage with both BIMSTEC and the 10-nation Association of South East Asian Nations to enhance their profile in the resource-rich Indo-Pacific region.
The two-day summit will be the fourth BIMSTEC meeting since its inception in Bangkok in 1997.
On the 20th anniversary of the bloc's establishment, Modi said last year that it not only connects South and Southeast Asia, "but also the ecologies of the Great Himalayas and the Bay of Bengal."

Q: Adding records to Access from Excel - recordset is ReadOnly I'm putting together an Excel front-end with an Access database behind it, so that some of my colleagues can collate data from previous projects (without having to learn to use Access themselves!)
So I have a "Data" sheet in the Excel workbook that occasionally refreshes from the database, then a "Dashboard" sheet that allows filtering of that data.
Where I'm having trouble is in closing the loop - allowing input of new data into the database. The relevant code is below:
Private Sub btnDBImport_Click()

Dim rst As ADODB.Recordset
Dim errorList As String

Dim cn As ADODB.Connection
Set cn = New ADODB.Connection
With cn
    .Provider = "Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.16.0"
    .ConnectionString = "\\FileAddress\DB.accdb"
    .Open
End With

Set rst = New ADODB.Recordset
rst.CursorLocation = adUseServer
rst.Open Source:="TableName", _
         ActiveConnection:=cn, _
         CursorType:=adOpenDynamic, _
         LockType:=adLockOptimistic, _
         Options:=adCmdTableDirect

    If validationTest = False Then
        errorList = errorList & "Data at row " & i & " was not added to the database due to missing information." & vbCrLf
    Else
        rst.AddNew
        With rst
            .Fields(1) = Value1
            .Fields(2) = Value2
        End With
        rst.Update
    End If

Next i

If errorList <> "" Then
    MsgBox errorList, vbOKOnly, "Data error"
End If

rst.Close
Set rst = Nothing
cn.Close
Set cn = Nothing

End Sub

The above is everything involved in defining, opening and working on a recordset; I get an error at rst.AddNew because "cannot update, database or object is ReadOnly".
Any help appreciated.

A: So, with thanks to the comment from Jimmy Smith, I've got to the bottom of this, or at least fixed my immediate problem.
The table was being treated as ReadOnly both when accessed through MS Access directly and when loaded as a Recordset using VBA because there was a link to the table in the same Excel workbook.
Now that I've deleted the link to the table and instead update the records in it through code, I'm consistently getting requested levels of access to the relevant table and everything is working as intended. Time to commit to Rubberduck and show it to the userbase.

Eve Teasing : Let's Retire This Common Term For Sexual Harassment In India!
Home > Social Issues > Eve Teasing : Let's Retire This Common Term For Sexual Harassment In India!
Do not consider 'eve teasing' as trivial. It is actually sexual harassment. Along with the law, we need a mindset change around this issue.
We Indians…or rather Asians have a problem of trivializing important issues and giving undue importance to smaller issues. So, a unique cricketing shot by Dhoni becomes the 'helicopter shot' and the nation starts talking about it while serious issues like sexual harassment of women come to be spoken of as eve teasing or street teasing!
When you say 'eve teasing', what comes to your mind? Many would say that women being looked at (ogled at), being subject to whistles and remarks, being pushed or touched (groped?)…all these come under eve teasing. As women living in India, one tends to accept that 'it comes with the territory'.
The fathers and brothers of the house will warn you about it (and maybe forbid you from going out alone/after dark), and the mothers and sisters of the house will tell you a technique or two to deal with it. Nothing more than that! Why is it that it is so easy to sexually harass a woman and get away with it?
Are we women truly aware of the laws that are anti 'eve teasing'? Most forms of harassment are punishable under the Indian Penal Code (IPC). Offenders can get up to 3 months of imprisonment under Sections 298 (A) and (B) of the IPC for any obscene acts against a woman, including verbal or implied. Showing any pornographic images or text to a woman invites 2 years imprisonment under Section 292 of the IPC. Section 354 of the IPC metes out the same punishment if any force is used against a woman to outrage her modesty.
Further, if any lewd behavior against a woman is proved, section 509 of the IPC dishes out an year's imprisonment or a fine.
From the looks of it, a significant number of laws exist to dissuade obscene behavior against women. But as you can see, there is hardly any uniformity in those laws with overlaps and varying degrees of punishment (or leeway).
Most importantly, all of these offences are bailable, which means these modern day 'Duhshasans' get to skip imprisonment by producing bail. And then comes the task of "proving" the crime, which is another task altogether.
It's time we realized that current measures are not enough. Women are not safe, and the law doesn't really measure up. First of all, I believe that the law needs to make these offences non-bailable. And that will just be the start of the journey.
And as we take that journey, we need a shift in our thoughts as well. It is time to retire the term 'eve teasing' as the seemingly harmless term hides a major concern called sexual harassment.
Unless we tell it like it is, who is going to bother listening to us? Not every Draupadi has a Lord Krishna after all!


This year's annual report is unique. We were inspired by the New Yorker and its feature-length articles, which take a complicated issue and explain it through history, human interest stories, poetry and illustrations--all the while making critical connections that otherwise would have been difficult to see. What if we applied a similar strategy to tell the story of low-income women in California--what helps and what hinders them from becoming economically secure and what we, as a public foundation, are doing and will do about it?

Raising genocide awareness among the youth is key to preserving its memory
Sunday April 21 2019
The youth should note that victims of the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi were exterminated by their peers who were taught for a long period of time to hate, hence their participation as perpetrators and masterminds. They used their power and influence to exterminate their fellow peers.
By DR. JOSEPH RYARASA NKURUNZIZA
This year, Never Again Rwanda adopted the theme Kwibuka 25 — Engaging Youth in Memory and Healing: Building a better future.
It is in this regard that Never Again Rwanda mobilised the youth to increase their participation in genocide remembrance and prevention.
By engaging the youth in Umuganda and genocide memorial visits, Never Again Rwanda intends to increase awareness among Rwandan youth about the Genocide as a means of preserving its memory, while eradicating its ideology and dealing with its consequences.
Over the past five years we have been placing particular emphasis on remember, reunite, and renew, which enables us to reflect on our past and events that led to the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi.
Despite existing platforms the youth still need to be provided with safe spaces to discuss some of their wounds which could hinder their participation to become active citizens as indicated below;
"I learnt that I am the light of my society, I consider this space as medicine for me because I used to feel alone and I isolated myself from others who are wounded and sometimes I would get stigmatised by my community yet I didn't have a space to express my wounds.
ICC rejects Ugandan rebel Ongwen's appeal
Through healing space, I will be able to share my wounds and learn from other people's experiences" said a female participant of Muhoza space for peace.
The term remember redirects us to some of the consequences of the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi and the role of young people.
On the other hand, unite and renew are linked to Never Again Rwanda's work in providing platforms for youth from diverse backgrounds to understand the importance of engaging in dialogue about the country's sensitive history as well as the road to recovery.
Our theme this year is Kwibuka 25: Engaging Youth in memory and healing: Building a better future.
This theme aims to engage the youth in discussions on their role in preserving memory and healing spaces to overcome their traumatic past. The theme was also inspired by our experiences from healing spaces and citizen forums that host youth from diverse backgrounds.
In previous conferences, the youth demonstrated a variety of wounds stemming from the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi and they have demonstrated interest in addressing some of these wounds by setting up peace initiatives in their communities.
It is my hope that the youth will also be more inspired through the discussions with experts and will continue to engage in more peace work to prevent future violence.
Also, the youth through our platforms noted that most parents have difficulties in sharing genocide history with their children and this is why this conference is necessary to share such sensitive experiences and be supported by experts on how such issues can be addressed.
Today, it is important for us to learn important lessons based on our history, by using such platforms to think critically how we can become active citizens, we should visit genocide memorials so that we can understand the history of the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi, read and write books so that you can educate others, learn and understand some of the events that led to the genocide.
This will enable the youth to tackle some of the stereotypes, hate and genocide ideology as well as negative messages in our homes and communities at large that the youth have reported as serious challenges in their communities, which continue to frustrate the process of healing and reconciliation.
We need to think back and reflect on Rwanda's healing journey and events that led to the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi.
It is also a time for us to reflect on how to prevent negative influences especially among the youth, and that's why we need to teach genocide history at the same time prevent any form of conflict/violence that could take Rwanda back to a dark past.
Let's all remember, unite and renew. I wish you fruitful interactions and continue to support genocide survivors and continue to collaborate to promote a unified and peaceful society free of genocide ideology.
Dr Nkurunziza Ryarasa Joseph is the country director & founder of Never Again Rwanda, a peace building organisation that promotes human-rights and advocates for peace among the Rwandan youth and the population at large. This is a slightly edited version of his speech at the 8th annual youth conference on commemoration policy and practices of the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi on April 18 in Kigali.

Shane Warne may be many things - not all of them can be worn as badges of honour - but give him his red cricket ball and he becomes a wizard. His bag of tricks include the ripper, the gripper, the flipper, the zooter and the slider, and to show for his magical prowess, he now has a gargantuan haul of 600 Test wickets.
As Test cricket's highest wicket-taker and the first to claim 600 scalps, Warne has come a long way from the young, blonde rookie he was against India in 1992, when Ravi Shastri and Sachin Tendulkar treated him like a pie-thrower at Sydney. His road to fame and fortune wearing the Baggy Green has been peppered with infamous incidents - Warne the man does not fall in the role model category. Warne the legspinner, though, is unrivalled. Ask Daryll Cullinan, Mike Gatting, Basit Ali and now Andrew Strauss what it's like to face Warne in top form. Warne took his 100th Test wicket in England at Edgbaston and it's hardly a surprise that the top five batsmen dismissed by Warne are all from England.
The manner in which he has bounced back after each setback is a huge testimony to his mental resolve. Banned for a year after testing positive for a banned diuretic at the 2003 World Cup, Warne used his forced vacation to train and stay physically fit. On his return, it was like he'd never been away, taking 26 wickets in three Tests in Sri Lanka in 2004. Since then Warne has bagged 82 wickets in 15 Tests. His break-up of wickets portray a picture of magnificent consistency.
Warne has performed outstandingly against every country and in every country with the exception of India, and to a certain extent, West Indies. He has very impressive figures against both Pakistan and Sri Lanka but the wounds inflicted in his debut series tend to re-open every time Warne faces the Indians.
They say fast bowlers hunt in pairs, but Warne certainly hunts better with Glenn McGrath than without him. Interestingly, the lower order (positions 6-11) accounts for 342 of Warne's 600 wickets. His top-order victims (positions 1-5) make up only 42.9% of his tally, the lowest figure among the 19 highest wicket-takers in Tests. A little further thought and you'll realise why. McGrath, who has the first go at the opposition, has 57.48% of his 508 wickets comprising the top order, a figure beaten only by Allan Donald's 58.79%.
With Muttiah Muralitharan closing in with 549 Test wickets, the battle between him and Warne to stay on top of the wicket-takers' list will be a worthy one. It matters little whether Warne finishes on top of the wickets tally when he retires. Cricket will be extremely fortunate to have another legspinner with half the talent and a fraction of the charisma that Warne has given to the game.

After a car accident most people are unsure of what to do first and have a long list of questions on how to proceed next. They wonder if they should file a claim with their insurance or with the at-fault insurance company. They wonder can they get a rental car, who will pay to repair the vehicle, who will pay their medical bills, who will pay their lost wages. All of these questions can be answered by the lawyers at Elsner Law Firm, PLLC. We have been helping people navigate their car accident claim in King and Snohomish Counties and throughout the state of Washington since 2007.
Get pictures of your vehicle and the accident scene since the appearance of this evidence will change quickly.
What happens with my car?
One of the first decisions you have to make when dealing with a car accident is deciding which insurance company to file your claim with. To help you decide which is best call us now for a free consultation or check out our article Where Should I File My Accident Claim.
After determining which insurance company to go with you need to decide on where to take your car to get fixed. The insurance company may recommend some places that they call "preferred" shops. This can be good and bad. With the preferred shops there is a relationship between the insurance company and the body shop so the claims process can go more smoothly. You should beware, however, because this often also means that the shop will protect its relationship with the insurance company and may be tempted to cut corners because they may agree to charge less in return for this relationship. State law allows you to take your vehicle to any licensed body shop of your choice.
If you feel that you are being pressured to take your vehicle to a particular shop you should contact Elsner Law Firm to help protect your rights.
If your car is deemed totaled, but you think that the damage is minor you can choose to purchase your car from the insurance company. There are many pitfalls to keeping a totaled car. Call us now to find out why or see our article So You Want to Keep Your Totaled Car – BEWARE!


Here's how important TV ads are for Big Pharma: In the past 3 years (October 2015 to October 2018) prescription brands spent an estimated $10.1 billion on TV advertising. Last year 76 prescription drug brands spent an estimated $2.96 billion, running 200 ads 534,000 times on national TV. In total, these ads generated 148.9 billion impressions. None of these ads included price information, although Johnson & Johnson announced this week that it will begin to include that information in upcoming ads. According to an industry watchdog group called BiopharmaDive, spending for pharmaceutical ads in 2012 was the 12th-largest ad category. Last year, it was sixth.
In 2013 the profit margin for pharmaceutical companies ranged from 10% to 42%, with an average of 18%.
Let's put those billions to work reducing the cost of drugs.
TV advertising isn't the biggest problem confronting American healthcare. Drug prices are out of control. Health insurance is a patchwork of confusing choices, and Medicare, the biggest purchaser of prescription drugs, is prohibited from negotiating with drug companies on the cost of drugs. And… there are millions of Americans still unable to afford health insurance. No system is going to be perfect but we can do better.
It's undeniable that America is capable of providing the most up to date and sophisticated medical care in the world, but, according to a Commonwealth Fund report the US ranks last overall among 11 industrialized countries on measures of health system quality, efficiency, access to care, equity, and healthy lives. To do better we need to treat healthcare as a universal right and work to eliminate the inefficiencies, duplications, price gouging, and unpredictability of the complicated system we have now. It should be a priority. Check this space for more.

Home/Cameroon/"I Took it for Aspirin," Andre Onana to his defence
"I Took it for Aspirin," Andre Onana to his defence
Giovanni Wanneh02/05/2021
Cameroonian shot – stopper Andre Onana, to his defense, has said he hadn't any intention of cheating when he took a Lasimac, thinking it was Aspirin.
Here is an official statement released by the 24 year old after UEFA's ban;
Hello everyone. I wanted to inform you all that the UEFA appeals body has imposed a 12 month ban on me, with immediate effect, for having tested positive in an anti – doping control, carried out in October 2020. I just want to clarify that everything was a result of a human mistake. I mistook a medicine containing a substance banned by WADA for a simple aspirin. The medicine was prescribed to my girlfriend and I mistakenly took it for an aspirin because the packaging was almost identical, which I greatly regret.
I have to say that I respect the UEFA Appeals Body, but I do not share their decision in this case. I consider it excessive and disproportionate as it has been acknowledged by UEFA that it was a Unintentional mistake.
Everyone knows that I lead a very healthy life, and since I started my sporting career, I have always been strongly against any use of doping and I condemn any unsportsmanlike conduct.
I am 24 years old and during the last seasons I have been lucky enough to play almost every minute, both for Ajax and for my national team, being named the best goalkeeper in Holland for the last four years and in Africa for the last three years. I want to say that I have no need to resort to doping to further enhance my sporting career.
I will appeal the decision before the Court Of Arbitration For Sports (CAS) to improve my innocence and clear my name.
I hope to be back on the pitch soon to do what I love and help my teammates. I would like to thank Ajax and Cameroon for their support and confidence in me.
For those closer to the Barcelona Academy graduate, he will put his career in jeopardy, knowing the consequences of cheating. More so, Onana has been unerring for club and country as emphasized on his statement regarding the issue. There is no need indeed "resorting" to drugs to impress.

Q: Low Pass Filter Matlab Is there a way in matlab to create a low pass filter, I know i can use the filter function but not sure how to use it, I've been given the following formula for my low pass H(z) = 1 (1 - z^-4)^2 / 16 (1 - z^-1)^2 with a 20Hz cutoff frequency

A: The filter function allows you to apply a filter to a vector. You still need to provide the filter coefficients. If you look at the documentation for filter, you see that you need to specify two vectors b and a whose elements are coefficients of z in descending powers, where z is the frequency domain variable in a z-transform. Since you have an expression for your filter given as a z-transform, the coefficients are easy to find.  First, let's write the numerator of your filter:
(1/16)*(1 - z^-4)^2 = (1/16)*(1 - 2z^-4 + z^-16)
= (1/16)*(1 + 0z^-1 + 0z^-2 + 0z^-3 - 2z^-4 + 0z^5 + 0z^-6 ... + z^-16)

So the b vector is b = (1/16)*[1 0 0 0 2 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1]. Similarly, the a vector is a = [1 -2 1]. So now you can filter your data vector x to get a result y by simply doing y = filter(b,a,x);.
Having said all that, the H(z) you specify above is definitely not a low pass filter. It's more like some weird cascade of a comb filter with itself.
If you want to design your own filter, and assuming you have the Signal Processing Toolbox, the absolute simplest thing to do is design a filter using Matlab's fir1 function:
h = fir1(N, 20/(Fs/2)); %# N is filter length, Fs is sampling frequency (Hz)

which you can then use in the filter function:
y = filter(h, 1, x); %# second param is 1 because this is an FIR filter

You will need to pick N yourself. Generally, larger N values make for better filters, where better = rejects more frequencies above 20 Hz. If your N value starts getting so big that it causes weird behavior (computational errors, slow implementations, unacceptable startup/ending transients in the resulting data) you might consider a more complicated filter design. The Mathworks documentation has an overview of the various digital filter design techniques.

A: The formula you have given: H(z) = 1 (1 - z^-4)^2 / 16 (1 - z^-1)^2 is the filter's Z-transform. It is a rational function, which means your filter is a recursive (IIR) filter.
Matlab has a function called filter(b,a,X). The b are the coefficients of the numerator with decreasing power of z, i.E. in your case: (1*z^-0 + 0*z^-1 + 0*z^-2 + 0*z^-3 + 0*z^-4)^2, you can use conv() for quantity square:
b = [1 0 0 0 -1]
b = conv(b,b)
and the coefficients of the denominator are:
a = [1 -1]
a = 16 * conv(a,a)
Then you call the filter y = filter(b,a,x), where x is your input data.
You can also check your filter's frequency response with freqz(b,a)
Hope that helped.

"A World Cup for everyone" - How a 11-year-old specially abled fan realised his dream in Qatar
Ritabrata Banerjee
17:44 EAT 07/12/2022
Qatar's commitment to host an extremely accessible World Cup has helped a specially abled young fan to realise his dream of watching live football.
Rocco McGowan, an ardent football fan, had a memorable experience watching the 2022 World Cup from four different stadiums in Qatar. It was a special experience for the young fan who until now had never visited a stadium in person but Qatar fulfilled his long cherished dream.
The 11-year-old, a Scottish football fan who is born and bred in Qatar, suffers from cerebral palsy. Due to his condition, McGowan never had the opportunity to watch a game of football from a stadium but the World Cup changed his life.
He has now watched five World Cup games involving teams like Brazil, Portugal, England, USA and South Korea in 11 days at four different venues - Stadium 974, Khalifa International, Education City and Al Thumama.
Picking Al Thumama as his favourite venue, he said, "It was the first stadium I ever went to, the first time I saw a pitch and got to be part of a sea of football fans, and the first time I got to cheer live so that made it extra special for me," McGowan told Qatar Foundation.
Rocco's father Liam McGowan has lived in Qatar for the past 14 years. He has watched football matches live across the world but for the first time in his life, he decided to take his son to the ground after watching Qatar's commitment to host an extremely accessible World Cup. He was all praises for the host nation's thoughtful steps of making a memorable experience for differently abled fans.
He said, "The accessible seats are usually at the bottom and so they don't have a good view, but the way they've done it here – not only do fans with disabilities have a perfect view of the pitch, but they also have the choice to sit exactly where they want to around the stadium.
"At every game, we've attended, within minutes of reaching our seats, a staff member has come to us to check on us to make sure everything is okay and see if we have any feedback. It's been great to see they are following through with their promise of hosting the most accessible World Cup."
Liam further added, "One of our games was at Khalifa International Stadium and we thought why don't we go walking since we live close by? I was so pleasantly surprised as to how easily we got to the stadium. There were smooth pedestrian walkways and dropped curbs the whole way which made it an absolute breeze."
The young fan has now not only lived his dream of watching live matches, he was also invited by FIFA officials to be a player escort and accompany the teams on the pitch during Portugal and South Korea's group stage tie. Overwhelmed with the gesture he said, "I felt amazing being there with the other kids, I felt included, I felt celebrated, and I felt happy."
He also got one side of his wheelchair signed by Neymar and the other side signed by David Beckham.
Thanks to Qatar Foundation's Ability Friendly Program, which has been running for the past three years, McGowan also gets an opportunity to play football regularly.
His mother Gillian McGowan spoke about how much her son enjoys playing the sport. She said, "They give him the opportunity to play and have fun in a safe environment, and they are also great in helping him get in some exercise in a fun way which is very important for him given his health condition. I didn't realize how much Rocco enjoyed his time at the classes until one day something came up, so I told him we'd not be able to go to his football class, and his response was 'It's okay if you have something else mum, just call me a taxi and I'll go myself. I can't miss it'."

This is driving me sort of crazy - It's that problem again, of getting a 3-D object to visibly hang in space, in a photo. Maybe it will come together better when I've got all three hung up?
Very beautiful, love your found object work.
Thank you - I've been feeling a bit frustrated laltely, so that's great to hear. How did you find me?
I've seen this piece, and my first reaction was that the second picture looks more like the real thing - or, more accurately, how I remember it. I thought about how the light changes during the day and how both pictures are true depictions of the sphere, how a sculpture is not frozen in time.
Your clementine sculptures caught that sense of time for me, they were moving and lit.
I like these coffee filter pieces. I don't need them to be like the earlier work.
The two photos remind me not to assume I've seen what's there.
