There's been a lot of talk over the past couple of weeks about domestic violence. By now, unless you live under a rock (or are in the haze of 'new-momdom'), you know who former NFL Baltimore Ravens player Ray Rice is. You may have even seen the, now infamous, video that made this type of violence difficult for the NFL to ignore.
But domestic violence isn't just a NFL problem. It's a global problem. It's our problem!

• Horror films from the Hammer studios have • become part of the British way of life — so much so that the latest couple, Hands of the Ripper ('X') and Twins of Evil ('X'), were released last week to the New Victoria without the courtesy of a press show. Not that the press could have provided much useful publicity. No matter how good or bad the films are, crowds will queue to see the beautiful Angharad Rees, metamorphosing into a homicidal maniac at the thought of her father Jack the Ripper, plunge a long knife into the gut of Vincent Price (he gets it out by hooking the end over a door handle and falling backwards), and to hear the loud thunk as the decapitated head of Peter Cushing's glamorous niece (he's a vampire-hunter this time) bounces on the ground and rolls away into the undergrowth. Part of the fascination lies in the variations on the familiar typology. Usually the film begins with a deceptive quiet. This is shattered by the advent of witches, corpses, vampires or a nameless beast. There will then be a confrontation, Western-style, between a good emanation, perhaps a doctor, a savant or an innocent s child, and a bad emanation — normally the monster or the begetter of monsters. In extremely subtle variations the identity of the good and bad emanations may be confused by a Moral Dilemma, but nobody is fooled for long. Science usually gives way before superstition, but the sleep of reason produces nightmares of a quite inoffensive kind.
One vital stock-in-trade of course is the profusion of shapely young milkmaids and schoolgirls who stand around waiting for something nasty to happen to them. Occasionally they take star billing as witches or vampires, and no one minds that (with the honourable exception of Ingrid Pitt) they convey as much sense of lurking evil as a rural tennis tournament. One gets the • impression that a Hammer girl goes through a kind of hierarchy, like Holy Orders. First she appears as an undifferentiated limb in a beer-swilling, firelit orgy while the beast prowls outside. After that she finds herself the mute, anonymous victim of a vampire (what we call a bit part), before being promoted to play a young witch — a role in which she is allowed a few busty screams before being decapitated, staked or burnt alive. Then the publicity men arrive and lead her into a wood where she is spotted, by a passing Daily Mirror photographer, leaning uncomfortably against a tree in her underwear. Groomed thus for stardom she will rise to brief glory and a speaking part, probably as a lesbian vampire converted to the straight and temporal by a handsome Count from Bad Gothenburg — after which nothing remains, I should imagine, except marriage to a balding film distributor and settled domestic tedium in a mock-Tudor mansion in the Home Counties. All of which is by way of saying that the double bill at the New Victoria is up to usual Hammer standards, and well worth a visit. The new Bergman film The Touch (' X ' Prince Charles) I shall have to leave to Tony Palmer who takes over in this column next week, but meanwhile there is one other film which deserves attention. This is Walkabout ('AA'), set in Australia. A man drives out deep into the desert beyond Adelaide, and kills himself. Left alive are his sixteen-year-old daughter and six-year-old son. They start walking, aimlessly, until their provisions run out, and then they meet an aboriginal boy on his walkabout, proving his manhood by surviving alone in the outback. Following him and learning from him they gradually find their way back to civilisation, but not before the girl, especially, is made to appreciate the values of the world she is escaping from. Jenny Agutter, the girl, and Lucien John, the small boy, are wholly convincing as conventional children, holding on desperately to the rituals of their civilisation in an alien world. But our attention is drawn all the time to David Gompilil, surely as aboriginal an actor as might be persuaded to appear in front of the cameras, who conveys, almost despite himself, his sense of exclusion from the world of the white girl he has saved, and despair at never being able to reach out to it. Typically, when the girl, at the end, looks back on her childhood adventure, she remembers a paradise in which there were no differences between them. Walkabout has a good script by Edward Bond, and is directed and stunningly photographed by Nicolas Roeg who made Performance. Occasionally his aesthetic evocation of the Australian landscape is in danger of taking precedence over the story, but for the most part he succeeds in making the desert a sharply alive and menacing presence, threatening everything the children have set store by.

The luxury fashion brand's activation includes prize giveaways.
Mulberry has created an in-store lighting-themed experience and smart vending machine to entice customers to play for prizes.
The initiative, which is tied to the brand's "#MulberryLights" campaign, celebrates how light, colour, shapes and people come together to create a modern British Christmas. The campaign kicked off at the end of last week with a pop-up light installation, drinks and live music at the brand's Regent Street flagship store.
For the in-store experience, a smart vending machine is designed to reward participation, amplify social engagement and capture data. The experience invites users to share their lights-inspired images with the hashtag #MulberryLights in order to gain instant access to the prizes stored.
The machine verifies that the social media share has taken place on either Instagram or Twitter, then invites users to interact in a bespoke gaming experience through its digital portal, before rewarding them for taking part. Each day, one player will win the top prize of a £1,000 gift card. Other prizes include small leather goods, stickers and festive chocolate. Every user can also enter a competition to win a further £5,000 to spend on gifts at Mulberry.
The installation ran in Mulberry's Regent Street store during 15-18 November and will now head to Leeds during 22-25 November and Manchester during 26-28 November, with a final stop in Edinburgh from 29 November to 2 December. A second machine will appear in New York in December.
The experience was produced by TheCurrent.

If you do a Google search on the word "Yemen", you probably will get news headlines about Drone strikes, Al-Qaeda attacks, kidnappings or killings. Well, there is more to Yemen than all that violence you read about in the media. Yemen is a land of history, heritage and humanity, yet the focus lately has shifted away from all that.
Here are some of Yemen's many talented youth whom you probably haven't heard of. Some of them are film directors who have been making a mark in the film industry, a videographer with a talented eye to capture beauty, a photographer challenging social norms and stereotypes, a talented artist with a message, and a musician impressively playing an old oriental instrument with new western tunes.
Sarah is a 29-year-old Yemeni-Scottish director whose film documented the bloodiest day of Yemen's revolution, March 18, 2011, known as the Friday of Karamah, or Friday of Dignity, which led her along with two other Yemeni film makers who worked on the film Ameen Al Gaberi and Abdul Rahman Hussain to the Oscars. She was the first Yemeni ever and one of few Arabs to reach that stage. Her film Karamah Has No Walls (Dignity Has No Walls) was nominated in the short documentaries category at the 2014 Annual Academy Film Awards.
Sara directed another film, "The Mulberry House", a personal memoir of her family and the revolution within her home echoing the upheavals beyond its walls, during the Arab Spring. Her second documentary film was screened at many film festivals, including the International Documentary Film Festival and Human Rights Watch Film Festival. She is currently working in her third documentary.
Another film by Yemeni director Mohammed Al-Asbahi was a finalist in the TropFest Arabia 2013. "Adults Only" is a tragic story about child brides in Yemen.
However, the first feature film ever to come out of Yemen, and the first-ever Yemeni film to be screened at Cannes Festival was in 2005, by Yemeni-British film director, Bader Ben Hirsi, entitled "A New Day in Old Sanaa'a".The 90-minute romantic drama, shows a real conflict between modern values and old ones in Yemen's conservative Islamic society.
This talented film maker, known among his friends as Afro, is the backbone of the SupportYemen media campaign that highlights social and political issues in Yemen. Abdulrahman co-directed and co-wrote "The Gift Maker", co-directed "Karamah Has No Walls" and he also directed and edited all the videos of SupportYemen which can be seen here.
Is a multi-talented Yemeni film and photography director who contributed to many Yemeni produced films and documentaries, including "Karamah Has No Walls". He is also Yemen's best photographer to capture the beauty of its unique landscape. His web page offers a glimpse to some of his outstanding and widely shared photography work.
Ziryab Alghabri is a talented videographer, who co-directed and produced films such as the "The Gift Maker", winner of the British Council's Zoom Competition. He lately produced this amazing trailer of Socotra Island, a part of a project related to promote this amazing island in Yemen.
Addulrahman Jaber is a visual artist, designer and photographer with a creative mind and a passion to create world brands. His website sheds light on his multi-talent and the work that he contributed to.
Boushra Almutawakel is a freelance photographer and a mother of four. She was honoured in 1999 as the first Yemeni Woman Photographer, well known for her bold Hijab series portraits. Her works challenge the social norms she was brought up with, as well as stereotypical Western views about women from the Middle East.
Twenty six-year-old Murad Subay is a talented Yemeni graffiti artist, a.k.a Yemen's Banksy, who uses his art to peacefully call for action by highlighting political and social messages on the walls of the city. The young artist started his first campaign "Color Your Street's Wall" in March 2012, which was the first of its kind in Yemen. In September 2012 he painted the faces of the forcibly disappeared in Sana'a, Ibb, Taiz and Hodeida, in the 2nd campaign called "The Walls Remember Their Faces".
He started another street campaign called "12 Hours" on July 4, 2013, painting the walls of the capital Sanaa with a different theme for 12 hours in 12 successive months. His campaigns range from state executed kidnappings, gun control, sectarianism to anti-drones.
A graffiti by Murad Subay demanding a weapon-free peaceful life.
Al-Arabiya interviewed Subay in 2012 while working on his first campaign, in this video which shows his murals.
Subay has been chosen to receive the "Art For Peace Award" for the year 2014, which is given annually to artists around the world who were committed to spread the culture of peace through their art, by the Italian Foundation "Veronesi". He will be receiving the Award in Milan, Italy, on November 14, at the 6th International Conference for Peace.
Yemeni musician Ahmed Alshaiba is a talented musician who demonstrates his skills once again with a version of Pirates of the Caribbean played on the Middle eastern string instrument, the oud.
His first sensational hit "Smooth Criminal" was widely shared on social media.
This is only a small list of the many multi-talented youth that Yemen is rich with and is proud to have. As you can see Yemen's got talent!
Oh my ! Whoever knew ! Disappointed I didn't know since I'm an honorary Yemeni citizen. Beautiful artists, especially the music! Entranced by the video and music on Socotra Island,, this place beats a million islands I've seen being used for meditation and other retreats by companies and individuals , even in the Far East where they specialize in these. It is truly serene and spiritual, I pray one day it will be a good source of national income through tourist spiritual retreats.
Thank you for your comment and for your prayers. We all pray that Yemen will have peace again and soon.
So the world SHOULD KNOW these Yemeni musicians, photographers, videographers, directors. Whatever happened to real Yemeni talent like scientists, doctors, market influencers, young leaders, and such. No, its more important to prop up people in the media industry instead. What a joke.
Thank you for reading the post which was originally entitled "Yemen's got Talent" I wrote it mainly focusing on the artistic talent of Yemenis. Of course Yemen has many more talented people and with various talents and this post does not deny that in any way nor does it say that they are less important. Everyone is entitled to his opinion or the way they want to interpret things.

Q: How to use arrow keys when typing into openssl terminal on OS X? In developing for IMAP I type raw commands into an IMAP openssl connection very often, and I'm trying to figure out how to make this tool more usable.  I connect via
openssl s_client -connect imap.gmail.com:993 -crlf

(for instance)
But arrow keys rather than navigating print what I can only call "strange characters":

t login chetsteadman^[[D^[[D^[[D^[[D

(That would be left arrow)
Ideally I'd like something that operates much more like a bash shell.  Left arrow goes left, ctrl+a goes to beginning of line, up arrow goes to previous line.
Trying to figure out how to get this configuration on openssl and also researching other tools that might do a better job of this.  I definitely need something low level though, especially given that I'm debugging problems with line-endings in iCloud currently.

A: This is likely occurring because of the way you're communicating. Protocols like IMAP are designed for computers to use, not humans, and as such they routinely ignore control sequences like arrow keys and backspace. I've had the same problem when working with HTTP servers; I need to get the server command exactly right, or… HTTP 400 (Bad Request).
My solution here has been to type very carefully, or compose the requests in a text editor ahead of time and copy-and-paste each command into the terminal—OpenSSL, in your case—window as required. You could also use some sort of line editor that accepts—and lets you edit—a line of input at a time, then sends the whole line at once to the server when you press return/enter. However, I've no experience with such things, and I don't know if they could be made to work with OpenSSL without resorting to writing your own code.

Q: Link MS Project to Access I have a large project tracking database used to track PMs, status, help needed, action items, reports etc. I keep the project schedule in a large MS-Project file. I've exhausted all efforts to have my organization invest in an MS-Project server.
How can I use the data found in my project file: Task Name, Resource, Start Date, End Date... etc as source data into my access database. Can these files be linked somehow if I put the project ID# into my project file as a foreign key? I just need to make the data available to people other than the PM. Ideas?

A: It looks like there is an odbc driver for project
You could try attaching access directly via a linked table.


In addition to the mouth-watering food, authentic people, and wonderful music, you'll find the Smoky Mountains filled with awesome antique shops full of a variety of items you can only get here. We've highlighted five shops you should visit if you're in the area.
If you're on the hunt for antique or vintage furniture, be sure to add the Bearden Antique Mall to your list. Located off of US-70 in Homberg Place, Bearden Antique Mall is open Tuesday through Sunday. They have a selection of both American and European antiques. Additionally, you'll find other items here like clothes, lighting, kitchenware, and more.
You can't go wrong with a flea-market style store that is all indoors (that means year-round shopping!). You'll find primitive and rustic crafts as well as antiques and oddities from over 200 vendor booths. They also have two other locations. One is in Bristol, TN, and the other is in Johnson City, TN. The location is fully accessible for wheelchairs and visitors with strollers. Learn more about them on their website.
Next to the Smoky Mountain Alpine Coaster, you'll find Yesterday's. Open since 1998, Yesterday's offers a variety of merchandise including vintage items. They are open daily from 10 a.m. – 4 p.m. If you don't fall in love with any of the items, you might fall in love with the owner, Georgia Scott. She's welcoming and very kind and will make you feel like you've stepped into a home rather than a store. Of course, it is an old farmhouse, complete with a red tin roof! Contact information and directions are available through their website.
The owners scour the nation looking for their newest additions. Besides antiques, they also sell salt and pepper shakers, new and old collectibles, tins and signs, vintage flower pots, and handmade Arensbak Smoky Mountain Trolls (A Troll in the Park shares the building). While you're there, you might also want to visit the building next door, which houses Hillbilly Deluxe, offering novelties and other wares.
Put on a pair of comfy shoes before you visit, because there is 77,000 square feet of shopping space! Used previously as an auction house for tobacco, the Antique Tobacco Barn was voted as the best place to buy antiques in Western North Carolina. It's no wonder, because there are over 75 dealers selling their wares at great prices. They are located in the Biltmore Village area of Asheville, NC, and are wheelchair accessible. You can get a map and directions from their website as well as hours of operation, which varies seasonally.
Do you go antiquing whenever you visit? What was your best find? Let us know in the comments section below.

There's a brilliant new Manchester United concept kit based on Newton Heath colours doing the rounds online.
The historic English club formerly known as Newton Heath LYR Football Club was formed by the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway Depot at Newton Heath.
The historic yellow and green kit represents the history and the foundation of the club which later came to be known as Manchester United.
The club initially donned the green and yellow for 6 years during the late 19th century and the colours were brought back in the early 1990s to commemorate Newton Heath.
With this new concept kit doing rounds online, the fans would love an opportunity to see their players in one of the oldest colours of the club and fight for glory!


1667 patients in area have faced waits of half-an-hour of more in ambulances outside A&E so far this winter, Liberal Democrat analysis has revealed. Of these, 286 faced waits of over an hour.
In the week to 31st December, 1381 patients faced waits of over half an hour and 286 spent at least an hour waiting in ambulances outside A&E.
Analysis also shows that local hospitals are suffering from dangerously high bed occupancy rates. Barts Health hospital trust has been at least 95% full for 28 of 42 days.
This is way above the recommended maximum level of 85% bed occupancy that experts say must be maintained to protect patient safety.
The Liberal Democrats are calling for a penny on income tax for the NHS and care, which would raise £6bn a year, around £20m of which would go to Tower Hamlets based on current allocations.
"These figures show the NHS crisis in Tower Hamlets is worsening. Thousands of patients are being left stuck in ambulances outside A&Es while several hospitals are suffering from a severe lack of beds.
"Every ambulance stuck outside an A&E department could well be needed by another patient waiting desperately at home for help.
"Each day seems to bring yet more bad news about the state of the health service. The blame for this lies firmly at the government's door.
"Ministers refused to provide the funding that top NHS officials said was necessary and now patients are paying the price.
"The Liberal Democrats will give the NHS and care the extra cash they desperately need by putting a penny on income tax, which would raise £20.24 million a year for health services in Tower Hamlets alone."

Ranking every NFL coaching staff entering the 2019 season

How does one evaluate the strength of a coaching staff?
The NFL is a process-oriented game but a results-driven business, creating a sophisticated dynamic. Experience, depth, in-game tactics, adaptability, and stone-cold results are among the factors that come into play.
We've examined each club and used our aforementioned criteria to rank all 32 staffs entering the 2019 season:
32. Cincinnati Bengals
HC: Zac Taylor
OC: Brian Callahan
DC: Lou Anarumo
Icon Sportswire / Icon Sportswire / Getty
Don't sweat if you haven't heard these names before - not many fans had when the Bengals announced their arrivals. Taylor, formerly a quarterbacks coach, was a stunning hire earlier this year. The 36-year-old struggled to fill out his staff and ended up with a pair of coordinators who have barely any experience calling plays - Anarumo was an interim defensive coordinator for the Dolphins in 2015. All three could turn out to be geniuses, but for now, they're just unproven.
31. New York Jets
HC: Adam Gase
OC: Dowell Loggains
DC: Gregg Williams
Notable assistant: Jim Bob Cooter (RBs)
Cooter might be the Jets' best offensive play-caller, and he's no higher than third-in-command behind Gase and Loggains. Speaking of Gase, he looked lost in his three-year tenure with the Dolphins, and his confrontational personality probably won't mesh well with that of his fiery defensive coordinator. Williams has very little recent success to speak of, yet berating players with profanities and demeaning commands remains his go-to motivational strategy. Given their collective lack of achievement, it's hard to understand why the Jets' top coaches are so stubborn.
30. Miami Dolphins
HC: Brian Flores
OC: Chad O'Shea
DC: Patrick Graham
Notable assistant: Jim Caldwell (QBs)
Miami is the latest team to hire a collection of former Patriots staffers in an attempt to replicate New England's success. The problem here is Flores has no head coaching experience and wasn't even officially bestowed the title of Patriots defensive coordinator in 2018. O'Shea and Graham are also undertaking their first coordinator jobs as the Dolphins' rebuild extends to the coaching staff. At least Caldwell will be there to guide the novices along.
29. Oakland Raiders
HC: Jon Gruden
OC: Greg Olson
DC: Paul Guenther
Notable assistant: Tom Cable (OL)
The jury is still out on whether the game passed Gruden by while he was in the broadcast booth, but it sure looked that way in Year 1. While he was dusting off his west coast offense binder, his NFL peers were installing more dynamic and modern material into their playbooks. Gruden's staff is littered with older coaches who may not be able to relate to the millennial generation of players. Cable is notable in that no matter where he goes, his unit almost always flops. His early returns with 2018 first-round pick Kolton Miller were depressing.
28. New York Giants
HC: Pat Shurmur
OC: Mike Shula
DC: James Bettcher
Elsa / Getty Images Sport / Getty
New York's one-year returns from Shurmur and his staff were not good. The team bottomed out for a second consecutive season, prompting the departures of Odell Beckham Jr., Olivier Vernon, and Landon Collins. Now, Shurmur will be expected to do more with less. Fair or not, his tenure will be remembered for how well the team transitions from Eli Manning to Daniel Jones at quarterback - whenever that transition finally takes place.
27. Detroit Lions
HC: Matt Patricia
OC: Darrell Bevell
DC: Paul Pasqualoni
Notable assistant: Al Golden (LBs)
Patricia thought emphasizing "The Patriot Way" would instantly breed success in the Motor City, but he discovered it ain't that simple in the NFL. As a rookie head coach, the ex-New England assistant failed to get his players to buy in, and his subsequent strategy of acquiring as many former Patriots players as possible seemed very narrow-minded. Bevell and Pasqualoni were uninspiring gets, with the former known mostly for his dubious pass call at the end of Super Bowl XLIX against Patricia's Pats. We'll give Patricia kudos for devising the game plan the Patriots adapted to stifle the Rams in Super Bowl LIII.
26. San Francisco 49ers
HC: Kyle Shanahan
DC: Robert Saleh
Shanahan was the hottest candidate on the market when he was hired in 2017. Two years in, he's still unproven as a head coach. The Niners have yet to produce a winning season, although Shanahan's had Jimmy Garoppolo as his quarterback for just eight games. His staff is woefully inexperienced: Saleh had never held a defensive coordinator position before joining Shanahan, and many of the coaches surrounding him are either recently retired players (Miles Austin, Wes Welker, DeMeco Ryans) or little-known assistants.
25. Arizona Cardinals
HC: Kliff Kingsbury
DC: Vance Joseph
The social experiment of Kingsbury's hiring will be one to watch. The 39-year-old comes straight from the college game, bringing his Air Raid offense and teaching methods for millennials (eg. social media breaks during meetings) to the pro level. If he and Kyler Murray make fireworks, Kingsbury will be the hottest thing since Sean McVay. Like McVay, Kingsbury won't have to worry much about the defense; the Cardinals did him a favor by hiring defensive maestro Joseph to oversee that side of the ball.
24. Dallas Cowboys
HC: Jason Garrett
OC: Kellen Moore
DC: Rod Marinelli
Special assistant: Kris Richard (DBs/passing game coordinator)
Joe Robbins / Getty Images Sport / Getty
The Cowboys probably would have gone to a Super Bowl by now if Garrett was capable of doing more during games than clapping his hands. Dallas deserves credit for finally moving on from Scott Linehan, the stalest offensive coordinator in the league, but it remains to be seen if Moore is any better. Dallas would be ranked even lower if not for its strong defensive staff, headlined by Marinelli and Richard.
23. Green Bay Packers
HC: Matt LaFleur
OC: Nathaniel Hackett
DC: Mike Pettine
Few coaching staffs enter the 2019 campaign with more questions than Green Bay's. The 39-year-old LaFleur was championed as a wonder child despite a severe lack of coaching experience, and it's not like his one year running Tennessee's offense churned out great results. He was pressured into retaining Pettine even though arranged marriages seldom work out in the NFL, and Hackett, his offensive coordinator, once held the same role with the points-starved Jaguars. The combination just seems out of place.
22. Jacksonville Jaguars
HC: Doug Marrone
OC: John DeFilippo
DC: Todd Wash
Notable assistants: Dom Capers (defensive assistant), Scott Milanovich (QBs)
The Jaguars made major offseason changes everywhere - except where most expected. Owner Shad Khan's decision to keep both Marrone and general manager Dave Caldwell after a disappointing 5-11 season came as a mild surprise. Marrone has proven incapable of managing the talents and tempers of star players Leonard Fournette and Jalen Ramsey. But the front office chose to keep the same dynamic and hope changes at offensive coordinator and quarterback will change the results.
21. Tennessee Titans
HC: Mike Vrabel
OC: Arthur Smith
DC: Dean Pees
Ah, yes, the team that promoted its tight ends coach to offensive coordinator this offseason. The Titans' hopes of unlocking Marcus Mariota's potential in his contract season rest with a first-time coordinator with no play-calling experience. It's a bold move by Vrabel, who's entering just his second year as an NFL head coach. Pees makes up the difference with his 15 years of coaching experience.
20. Denver Broncos
HC: Vic Fangio
OC: Rich Scangarello
DC: Ed Donatell
Notable assistant: Mike Munchak (OL)
Joe Amon/MediaNews Group/The Denver Post via Getty Images / Denver Post / Getty
The Broncos possess an intriguing staff with some highly regarded coaches in positions they haven't previously held. Fangio, a first-time head coach, brought Donatell with him from Chicago to help redesign the defense. He also plucked Scangarello off the Shanahan tree in San Francisco. His most impressive hire was Munchak, a heralded offensive line coach who spent the last five years in Pittsburgh. It all sounds good in theory, but we have to see results before vaulting the Fangio crew up the rankings.
19. Pittsburgh Steelers
HC: Mike Tomlin
OC: Randy Fichtner
DC: Keith Butler
Notable assistant: Teryl Austin (defensive assistant)
Tomlin won the power struggles with superstars Antonio Brown and Le'Veon Bell, which means he keeps his job and loses generational talents. Though ownership put its support behind its head coach of 12 years, Tomlin likely enters the 2019 campaign on the hot seat. The Rooney family values continuity, and Fichtner and Butler have been with Tomlin since he took over in 2007. Tomlin is signed through the 2020 season. If he's able to reassert Pittsburgh's power in the AFC North, he could see another extension.
18. Atlanta Falcons
HC: Dan Quinn
OC: Dirk Koetter
Notable assistants: Raheem Morris (DBs/passing game coordinator), Mike Mularkey (TEs)
The Falcons have assembled a staff rife with head coaching experience. The benefits are obvious, and it should give Quinn plenty of shoulders to lean on. Quinn will also return to his roots and take over defensive coordinator responsibilities. But the area of concern has been the offense ever since Kyle Shanahan's departure following Super Bowl LI. Steve Sarkisian was fired after two seasons, leading to the return of Koetter after four seasons with the rival Buccaneers.
17. Buffalo Bills
HC: Sean McDermott
OC: Brian Daboll
DC: Leslie Frazier
McDermott, Daboll, and Frazier aren't the flashiest names, but they've quietly squeezed some juice out of their rosters in Buffalo. The McDermott-Frazier defense ranked second in the NFL last year even though it had only one Pro Bowler, Kyle Williams, who was selected as an alternate. Not much could've been expected from a talent-depleted offense in 2018, but a great coach finds a way to finish better than 30th in the league. The Bills have shown promise in McDermott's two years at the helm, but they're 15-17 over that time, and none of the main man's assistants are reinventing the wheels they steer.
16. Carolina Panthers
HC: Ron Rivera
OC: Norv Turner
DC: Eric Washington
Notable assistant: Perry Fewell (secondary)
Rivera, a two-time Coach of the Year, is one of the game's most respected coaches. He owns a .559 winning percentage and has guided the Panthers to the playoffs in four of his eight seasons at the helm. The team's success meant many of Rivera's top assistants were poached for head coaching gigs of their own (Sean McDermott, Steve Wilks). Turner was a curious hire, but his first season as OC was a success. Rivera took play-calling duties from Washington late last season.
15. Houston Texans
HC: Bill O'Brien
OC: Tim Kelly
DC: Romeo Crennel
Notable assistant: John Pagano (senior defensive assistant)
Before poaching Patriots staffers was en vogue, former Bill Belichick disciples O'Brien and Crennel went south to build a staff in Houston. The Texans have won their division in three of the five seasons since. Crennel and Pagano form a respected defensive front. O'Brien had been the de facto offensive coordinator the past two seasons, but this year he's turning things over to...*checks notes*... someone named Tim Kelly.
14. Washington Redskins
HC: Jay Gruden
OC: Kevin O'Connell
DC: Greg Manusky
Notable assistants: Bill Callahan (OL), Jim Tomsula (DL), Rob Ryan (LBs), Ray Horton (DBs)
Gruden, O'Connell, and Manusky don't have the most decorated resumes, but their subordinates are some of the best in the business. Callahan and Tomsula are both top-five coaches at their positions, while Ryan and Horton have both been coordinators and boast plenty of NFL experience. The Redskins' staff finishes around the middle of the pack, just like the team often does in the standings.
13. Baltimore Ravens
HC: John Harbaugh
OC: Greg Roman
DC: Don "Wink" Martindale
Harbaugh has proven a capable leader when overseeing operations in a CEO-type role and outsourcing unit-specific responsibilities to assistants. Even as the NFL skews in favor of offenses, Baltimore remains one of the scariest teams to play against, and it's Harbaugh who's responsible for upholding a culture of toughness. His offensive hirings over the years have left plenty to be desired, but he's got an ace of a coordinator in Martindale, who engineered the top-ranked defense of 2018. We'd be remiss not to mention the several instances of Baltimore not knowing the rules of the NFL - both in practice sessions and during games. It's a solid staff, but it falls short of elite.
12. Los Angeles Chargers
HC: Anthony Lynn
OC: Ken Whisenhunt
DC: Gus Bradley
Tom Szczerbowski / Getty Images Sport / Getty
If ever third-year head coach Lynn is in a pinch, he has 12 years of head coaching experience to count on between Whisenhunt and Bradley. Lynn hasn't found himself in such a position yet; he's led the Chargers to two consecutive winning campaigns and took L.A. to the divisional round last season. The Bolts have also finished in the top 15 in both offense and defense in each of the past two seasons.
11. Cleveland Browns
HC: Freddie Kitchens
OC: Todd Monken
DC: Steve Wilks
Notable assistant: Chris Jones (defensive assistant)
Kitchens' head coaching credentials are up for debate, but he did well to surround himself with a talented group of aides after earning the full-time job. His biggest hire was Wilks, who's back in a coordinator position after one season as head coach of the Cardinals. Monken also carries a pedigree after helping the Buccaneers rack up the third-most yards in the league last year. He, too, has experience as a head coach, albeit in the college ranks at Southern Miss. The addition of Jones, who built an excellent resume in the CFL as both a coach and general manager, flew under the radar.
10. Minnesota Vikings
HC: Mike Zimmer
OC: Kevin Stefanski
DC: George Edwards
Notable assistant: Gary Kubiak (assistant head coach)
Zimmer's disdain for offensive coordinators resulted in the abrupt departures of John DeFilippo and Norv Turner in recent seasons. His demand for a more balanced offense and an effective running game puts the onus on Stefanski, his handpicked choice at OC. If Stefanski stumbles, Kubiak - an offensive guru - is there to pick up the pieces. Zimmer's defenses, meanwhile, have had no such stumbling over the years. Led by Edwards since 2014, the unit has finished in the top five in each of the past three seasons.
9. Chicago Bears
HC: Matt Nagy
OC: Mark Helfrich
DC: Chuck Pagano
Notable assistant: Brad Childress (offensive assistant)
That the Bears could lose beloved defensive coordinator Vic Fangio and still earn a top-10 ranking on this list is a testament to Nagy and Helfrich's work in their first years at their respective positions. Nagy earned Coach of the Year honors for turning a 5-11 outfit into a 12-4 division champion, and Helfrich led the progression of Mitch Trubisky despite a supporting cast lacking a signature talent. Pagano inherits the No. 3-ranked defense in football.
8. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
HC: Bruce Arians
OC: Byron Leftwich
DC: Todd Bowles
Notable assistant: Tom Moore (no official title)
The Buccaneers may not have the best players, but their coaching staff is one to be reckoned with. Arians, an offensive-minded coach who preaches a "no risk it, no biscuit" approach, has a track record of success. The ascending Leftwich will benefit from having a maestro like Arians in his ear. Bowles was one of the league's top defensive coordinators the last time he held that post - which was in Arizona with Arians - and is known for crafting dynamic blitz packages. The additions of 80-year-old Moore and veteran special teams coach Keith Armstrong give Tampa a very deep staff.
7. Seattle Seahawks
HC: Pete Carroll
OC: Brian Schottenheimer
DC: Ken Norton Jr.
Carroll is among the longest-tenured coaches in the NFL after nine seasons in Seattle. He hasn't had a losing campaign since 2011 despite recent turnover both on the Seahawks' coaching staff and in the locker room. The steady-handed 67-year-old seamlessly followed the departures of longtime lieutenants Darrell Bevell and Kris Richard with the hires of Schottenheimer, a respected OC, and his pupil Norton at DC.
6. Indianapolis Colts
HC: Frank Reich
OC: Nick Sirianni
DC: Matt Eberflus
Notable assistant: Howard Mudd (offensive assistant)
Indy doesn't have the most recognizable names, but the job Reich and Co. did last year shouldn't be understated. Reich and Sirianni teamed up to give the Colts the NFL's seventh-ranked offense, while Eberflus coordinated the 11th-ranked defense without the benefit of multiple Pro Bowlers or All-Pros. Not many coaching staffs could lead a team out of a 1-5 hole and into the playoffs as the Colts' did last year. They added legendary offensive line coach Mudd as a special assistant for 2019, strengthening an already formidable group.
5. Kansas City Chiefs
HC: Andy Reid
OC: Eric Bieniemy
DC: Steve Spagnuolo
Notable assistant: Dave Toub (special teams)
Diamond Images / Diamond Images / Getty
Reid's genius consistently has Kansas City among the contenders. Yet, much like former Chiefs head coach Marty Schottenheimer, Reid's reputation is of one who can't win the big game. His lone Super Bowl appearance came in 2004 with the Eagles. His coaching tree has sprouted the successful head coaching careers of Brad Childress, Doug Pederson, and Matt Nagy, leaving little concern about former running back Bieniemy's credentials as offensive coordinator. The Chiefs finally relieved former DC Bob Sutton of his duties after a horrendous 2018, replacing him with Spagnuolo, one of Reid's assistants from his early Eagles days.
4. Philadelphia Eagles
HC: Doug Pederson
OC: Mike Groh
DC: Jim Schwartz
You can't win a Super Bowl with a backup quarterback then follow it up with another admirable run under similar circumstances without elite coaching. It's safe to say the Eagles have that. Pederson has gotten the most out of both Carson Wentz and Nick Foles since arriving in Philly, and more coaches ought to emulate his aggressive style. Schwartz, a former head coach with a strong defensive pedigree, has routinely helped players outperform expectations. It would be silly to omit the fact that Pederson and his mates repeatedly get the Eagles to peak at the right time of year.
3. New Orleans Saints
HC: Sean Payton
OC: Pete Carmichael
DC: Dennis Allen
Notable assistants: Darren Rizzi (special teams), Dan Campbell (TEs), Mike Nolan (LBs)
Don Juan Moore / Getty Images Sport / Getty
Led by the innovative Payton, the Saints have one of the brightest and deepest staffs in the league. Payton and Carmichael have been engineering high-powered offenses for years - even as the personnel around them has changed. Allen has stabilized a previously punchless defense over the last couple of years and emerged as a head coaching candidate for vacancies around the league. Campbell and Nolan both have experience as head coaches and are now in specialized roles, a big plus for New Orleans. After leaving the Dolphins, Rizzi picked the Saints over a handful of other interested teams in the offseason.
2. Los Angeles Rams
HC: Sean McVay
DC: Wade Phillips
Notable assistant: John Fassel (special teams)
McVay is credited as the leader of the NFL's offensive surge. His control of the Rams' offense is unprecedented - he's in quarterback Jared Goff's ear until the play is called in the huddle. Yet his ability to delegate should also be commended. He installed Phillips as his DC and the respected veteran rewarded him with a championship-caliber performance in the Super Bowl. If not for McVay's uncharacteristically poor showing on the offensive side of the ball, the defense would have won him his first Super Bowl ring.
1. New England Patriots
HC: Bill Belichick
OC: Josh McDaniels
Notable assistant: Dante Scarnecchia (OL)
Belichick's brilliance makes up for whatever experience his subordinates will lack in 2019. A frenzied offseason saw the Patriots lose several assistants, though Belichick's two most important helpers - McDaniels and Scarnecchia - remain in Foxborough. The absence of a defensive coordinator is notable, but should hardly faze a defensive guru like Belichick, who is expected to call the plays himself this year. New England's staff may not be the deepest, but it should be regarded as the best as long as Belichick is at the top.

Q: CalDav web client or libraries that works with Google Calendars WebDav server / api Does anyone know if there are any CalDav web clients or even any client libraries that will connect to the Google Calendar CALDAV API/server (we the recent oAuth2 additions)? We want to do this so that Google calendars can be managed in a standard way, and embedded in our own application.

A: One possible library is gaye/dav on github. It was initially written for Firefox OS and provides support for an OAuth2 transport.
That aside, adding OAuth2 support to any other existing library is probably not that hard. When you know it is a Google CalDAV server, do the OAuth exchange to get the access token. Then, if the library has a hook (or a function that can be monkeypatched) that runs just before a request is sent, set the request header Authorization: Bearer <oauth access token> with each request.

Thieves Snatch $16,000 In Merchandise at UWS Burberry Brit

Share All sharing options for: Thieves Snatch $16,000 In Merchandise at UWS Burberry Brit
'Tis the season to watch your back, apparently. In the early afternoon of December 7, three men made off with more than $16,000 worth of merchandise from the Burberry Brit store on Columbus Avenue, according to DNAinfo. Among the stolen goods were 26 scarves, 12 polo shirts worth $2,100, seven wallets, and four iPhone cases.
Witnesses told police that the thieves were two men in their 30s and one who was about 40. Police said the men told shoppers and staff, "Don't come near," "it's not about you, stay away," and "it's not personal," as they were robbing the store. They then fled northbound in a green Toyota Camry. The Columbus Avenue store staff and the Burberry corporate office did not respond to DNAinfo's requests for comment.

PayPal confirms it's exploring the launch of its own stablecoin
PayPal has been expanding its cryptocurrency business since it opened trading to all users in 2020. It allowed US customers to check out with cryptocurrency and increased its crypto buy limit over the past year. In the future, it might also offer a stablecoin of its own. Jose Fernandez da Ponte, SVP of crypto and digital currencies at PayPal, has confirmed to Bloomberg that the online payment provider is "exploring a stablecoin." He also said that the company will work closely with relevant regulators "if and when [it] seek[s] to move forward."
A developer named Steve Moser found hidden code and images for a "PayPal Coin" in the company's app and shared them with Bloomberg. Based on what he discovered, the PayPal Coin will be backed by the US dollar. It may also feature the PayPal logo with two horizontal slashes across it, though that may change upon the coin's launch, if it does see the light of day. A spokesperson told the publication that the tidbits Moser unearthed in the app were leftovers from an internal hackathon by the company's blockchain, crypto and digital currencies division.
Stablecoins are cryptocurrencies backed by fiat currencies and are typically more, well, stable than their decentralized counterparts. Meta (formerly Facebook) has big crypto plans, as well, and was supposed to launch a digital wallet that supports its own stablecoin called Diem. However, it faced pushback from regulators and launched the cryptocurrency wallet Novi with the stablecoin called the Pax Dollar instead.

This is, no exaggeration, one of the most beautiful books I've ever read. I follow the author on facebook as well and, seriously, her status updates are miniature masterpieces.
Friend: Are you coming to Ian's later?
Me: Noooo, I can watch a good film anytime. YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND MEEE!!!
There is a film coming out, called The Masterpiece, based on this book. I, for one, will be watching it.
If Sebastian had been born in the 1800s he would be one of those sons paid by their wealthy family to stay away. He crashes through life like a mixture of Byron and Withnail, rarely likeable but always interesting, an artist who's biggest art piece was himself.
On a whim he goes diving with sharks, has a fling with gangster Jimmy Boyle, bets on the stock exchange and becomes horribly addicted to heroin and crack. When he has money he doesn't respect it, when he doesn't he's desperate. He makes no excuses for shoplifting and generally being a louche, entitled rich boy and if he did I probably wouldn't have enjoyed reading him as much. He died aged 47 of a suspected overdose.
Yes, yes, there's the Houses of Parliament and Trafalgar Square blah blah. Where are the corpses? A common cry, and one this book would like to answer.
Beneath the respectable layer of London's past is a hidden world of information, such as the peculiar shrub in Chelsea Physic Garden that gave John Wyndham the idea for Day of the Triffids, St. Sepulchre's watch house in Holborn (built to keep an eye out for grave diggers), the Haymarket cat opera (exactly how it sounds) or the leftover 'snob screens' in The Lamb pub which protected delicate wealthy eyes from the sight of the common man.
It's separated into districts so you can have a flick through next time you go to London and see what's about. If you'd like to see a bit more of weird London via a guide have a look at this spooky tour we embarked upon for Halloween.
A cavalcade of truly terrible films, this collection takes you from Maniac 'director' Dwain Esper's exploitation efforts, through fifties B movies to nonsensical modern day fare. Some of the descriptions made me chuckle out loud, particularly in the WTF section.
If monster movies are your thing, or perhaps overseas oddities, each film has been separated into categories ( I like categories, don't I? I never realised that before), making it easier to dip in according to mood. Enjoy!
This post is brought to you by the Parlour of Horror Blog Tour. Parlour of Horror, nothing keeps your teeth whiter.
I genuinely liked it in there, the weird Victoriana made me feel all warm and fuzzy. Anyway, on to the horror.
It's the most wonderful time of the year! The night when the whole world as one raises the dead and eats so many sweeties (candy) that we glow iridescent with e numbers.
I'm sorry that I can't send these out to you personally as you're supposed to for All Hallows Read, but maybe you can pass them on after purchasing them this year. Let's begin!
The Haunted Book by Jeremy Dyson.
As well as being a member of The League of Gentlemen and a playwright and author, Jeremy Dyson is a big fan of Robert Aickman (as am I). This is definitely noticeable in this themed collection of ghostly weird tales, which is a fictional account of a journey across the UK to collect local scary stories. Like Robert his stories are often not spelled out, leaving the reader to draw their own conclusions about what happened and why. It's very clever, atmospheric and genuinely creepy.
You'd be forgiven for thinking this was a nice children's book about a married couple who are foxes, but it's not. There are barely any real foxes.
Mr Fox is an author who kills off all his female leads, and Mary Foxe is a character of his whose head he chopped off (there are many references to the Bluebeard fairy tale). Or perhaps she was his real wife whose head he chopped off? The pair of them imagine various scenarios in which she's a romance novelist, a florist, a model and many more, the stories getting darker and stranger but always beautiful.
Helen Oyeyemi manages to take an idea that was cliche by the time it appeared on The Twilight Zone, a character speaking to it's creator, and turn it into something I don't think I've ever seen before. My brain crackled like popping candy and I think yours will too.
These flash horror stories are deviously good fun. Split into sections covering the different aspects of horror (gory, supernatural etc) they often don't become clear until you've thought about it for a few moments, and then you'll be pondering them for quite a while afterwards.
If you have a spare few minutes you can dip into any section and read a tiny story, or sit down for hours and read lots in one go.
These short stories are very beautifully written and there were so many sentences that made me green with envy. They span science fiction, fantasy and horror, but each tale has a dark Gothic magic behind it.
You'll find Siamese (conjoined) twins navigating their sexuality, something happening to the children of an earth colony on a cold, barely inhabitable planet, Gods running the government and much more. Nicely creepy and very intelligent.
Ta dah! Have a wonderful Halloween and try not to eat too many sweets (who am I kidding, stuff yourselves silly).
Merry October and a happy birthday to me! That's right, my birthday is during the best month of the year. I'm…21 today (shhh).
For The October Frights Halloween Blog Hop I'm going to share some free fiction with you, thoughtfully using tea party props. Oh, how I suffered eating all that cake and drinking all that tea, but I got through it.
Please check out what the other authors are doing by clicking the button at the bottom of the post, there'll be more free fiction, giveaways, and plenty more.
The story is called How To Host A Dinner Party Without Awakening The Dark Ones.
Alrightyroo (?) I'm off to Florence in a matter of days so I shall be leaving you for a week or two. In the meantime here are a few films by award-winning husband and wife Christopher Kezelos and Christine Kezelos, otherwise known as Zealous Creative. Find them on their website or their youtube channel and have a peek at the last two videos where you can help them out with their latest project. Adieu (or rather Ciao)!


More than 450 people with mental or physical handicaps visited the University of Miami on Saturday for a space-themed FunDay, the longest standing service day at UM, partnering students with people with special needs.
In its 32nd year, FunDay featured carnival-style games, food, a petting zoo, craft tables and dance performances for visitors and UM students to enjoy.
The event began at 9:30 a.m. with the Hurricane cheerleaders onstage wearing pink bows and shaking pompoms in honor of Valentine's Day. Patricia Whitely, vice president for student affairs, welcomed the participants next to her own "buddy" for the day, a young girl named Lexi.
Volunteers and visitors dispersed throughout the Rock and the green in front of Richter Library to start the "fun" of FunDay. One table along the way was the music therapy booth, where instruments like ukuleles, maracas and tambourines were ready to be used.
Music therapy is a form of counseling used to help individuals communicate and meet physical, emotional, cognitive and social needs.
Genevieve Scott, a guitar player, singer and music therapy major, danced around in the center of a semicircle and led participants in songs such as Frank Sinatra's "Fly Me To The Moon." According to Scott, the music therapy group is a long-standing tradition at FunDay.
In a slightly more wild section of the green, llamas cohabited with baby ducks and two squealing pigs. The petting zoo was a favorite among guests, who could go inside and feed the animals.
Scott Dorfman, a person with a disability from Wayside Baptist Church in Miami, watched the animals with his two partners for the day, junior Mira Kawash and senior Hyelim Chang. Although Kawash and Chang were participating in the event for the first time, Dorfman said he could not even remember how many times he had been to FunDay.
Dorfman took a moment in front of the petting zoo to tell his companions about his girlfriend. For Chang, a psychology major, spending the day with a buddy dispelled misconceptions about people with special needs.
Freshman Coleman Cummins, a philosophy major and brother of the Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity, interacted with FunDay attendees while he worked serving cookies. His favorite part was putting smiles on people's faces with the sweet treats.
In a more physically-demanding job, brothers of the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity took to the dunk tank for an annual tradition. Sophomore Connor Quinn was repeatedly dunked on an unusually chilly day in South Florida.
"It's cold right now, but it's warmer than when I have to climb out," Quinn said.
Off to the side, another brother, Austin Miller, was in charge of drying the softballs and encouraging participants. Miller said that SAE's participation in the dunk tank and FunDay as a whole was simply returning a favor.
"At the University of Miami, the community does so much for us, so we are just giving back," said Miller, a junior studying finance and real estate.
FunDay created an exciting event for the disabled community and something to remember it by with coloring stations, a photo booth inside the UC Lounge and even photo opportunities with Sebastian the Ibis, who was walking around giving hugs and dancing to songs such as "Happy" by Pharrell Williams.
According to Maddox, people with disabilities share the same basic needs as everyone else.
UCP of South Florida is more than 50 years old and one of the largest health care organizations in South Florida, according to ucpsouthflorida.org. The organization specializes in caring for people with cerebral palsy as well as those with other developmental disabilities or special needs to help them reach their fullest potential.
"Just making sure they have fun while living with whatever disability they have … making sure they're happy," Maddox said.
According to Maddox, a friendly word of encouragement or a hug on a bad day is something anyone could use to feel better. She said working at UCP with special citizens has helped her live a fuller life, too.


Our systems can work well on a wide range of tubes, without compromising on the strength or quality of the cutting process.
If you have to make holes after the cut, instead of moving the pieces to another machine (for example a radial or column drill), with all the possible errors that derive from it and the inevitable loss of time, STL srl has a fully automatic radial drilling unit up to an M16 size.
The cutting head can work both perpendicular and inclined, with respect to the surface of the tube. In the second case, it is the so-called 3D cutting, with which STL srl carries out caulking and semi-caulking operations that are highly advantageous for the pieces that they will then have to weld.
Indeed, the laser already cuts at the beginning with a high geometric precision and no sanding of the surfaces to be welded is required.
If it is necessary to cut thicker tubes, plasma tube cutting machines offer a valid alternative and a cheaper solution, especially if the tubes have poor surface quality (oxide, calamine, etc.).
The caulking of the cuts is a feature of primary importance. Accuracy is greatly improved when the latest advances in high-definition plasma and tube oxyfuel are incorporated.
The HD plasma cutting allows you to perform caulking on cuts, up to +/- 45°.
STL srl boasts professional facilities for sheet metal, plasma cutting and oxyfuel cutting, up to a thickness of 300 mm, curve profiles, sheet calendering, bending profiles and electrode welders, MIG - MAG, TIG and submerged arch (automatic and manual).
I met Engineer Mazzobel at a fair in Leipzig, Germany. Our collaboration began there and has continued for years. I could not find a better supplier than STL srl for tube cutting: both in terms of quality and precision, as well as in terms of logistics, delivery punctuality and transport arrangements.
Seriousness, Professionalism, Punctuality are the three characteristics that represent STL srl, as a long-running and forward-thinking company in the sector of tube cutting and medium-heavy metallic carpentry.
STL srl solved a number of technical and construction problems on an important job. We could not have chosen a better supplier and partner than this.
With STL srl, we have drastically reduced processing waste, as well as finding an optimal partner in terms of quality and price.

Congressional District 11: Meadows (R) vs. Price (D) vs. Ingram (L)
Rating: Strong Republican
Voter Registration by Race: 92% White, 3% Black, 3% Hispanic, 3% Other
Voter Registration by Party: 36% Republican, 33% Unaffiliated, 30% Democratic
2016 Presidential Election Result: 63% Trump, 34% Clinton, 3% Other
CD-11 covers much of North Carolina's portion of the Appalachian Mountains. The district is predominantly rural, although it does contain the suburbs of the Asheville metropolitan area (largely in Buncombe and Henderson counties) and around half of the Hickory metropolitan area (Burke and Caldwell counties). Most of CD-11 has been solidly Republican for decades, although five of the district's rural counties – Swain, Jackson, Haywood, Madison, and Yancey – have a distinct Democratic tradition that continues today on the state and local levels. To dilute the area's Democratic influence, Republican legislators drew much of urban Asheville (Buncombe County) into the neighboring CD-10, leaving only the GOP-leaning portions of Buncombe in CD-11. This arrangement has resulted in CD-11 becoming the most Republican district in North Carolina (as well as the whitest) – Donald Trump won the district in 2016 by his largest margin statewide, and only in CD-11 do Democrats have fewer registered voters than both Republicans and unaffiliated voters. The large number of unaffiliated voters in CD-11 is mainly due to the recent influx of retirees in the region, most of whom prefer to formally identify with neither party despite almost always supporting GOP candidates at the ballot box.

Republican Mark Meadows was first elected to represent CD-11 in 2012, filling the seat vacated by retiring Democrat Heath Shuler. Shuler had decided against seeking a fourth term in Congress after GOP legislators removed Asheville from his district, diluting the incumbent's main source of Democratic supporters. Meadows, a current resident of Transylvania County, won the open seat with 57% of the district's vote in 2012 and has easily been reelected twice, most recently winning a third term in 2016 with 64%. This comes as the congressman gains a nearly unparalleled conservative reputation on Capitol Hill – he played a major role in triggering the 2013 federal government shutdown over Obamacare funding, and he introduced a resolution to remove John Boehner as Speaker of the House in 2015. Meadows currently chairs the Tea Party-aligned House Freedom Caucus, frequently butting heads with GOP leadership and using his group's leverage to drive congressional policy to the right.
This year, Meadows – who won an overwhelming 86% of the district's 2018 GOP primary vote – will compete in the general election against Democrat Phillip Price, a lumber company owner who has lived throughout the district and currently resides in McDowell County. Running a largely grassroots campaign, Price won the Democratic primary with 41% of the vote, winning each of the district's counties other than Henderson and Transylvania (the home counties of his two opponents). Price's fundraising, however, pales in comparison to that of the Meadows campaign, although neither of the two candidates have raised particularly large sums. In North Carolina's most Republican district, Meadows has endeared himself to staunch conservatives and the district's electorate at large, giving him virtual certainty of fourth term in Congress.

This research paper introduces you to the practice of film studies research. Choosing a film to work on, developing a reading list, producing a thesis, and then producing a final paper that is your "reading" of a particular film. In short, the research paper should be able to label both its own approach to the film—and name what kind of reading (your reading) this approach produces.
The movie I choose is "A Clockwork Orange" by Stanley Kubrick, United Kingdom,1971.
For this research paper, I would like to discuss the main character,Alex and how is the relationship between Alex and the women in the film. Please choose one or two specific scenes to talk about Alex and the woman.

Also, I'll send the outline of how I want the research paper to be written and the sources.

I am working on a research project on filmmaker Stanley Kubrick and would like to apply critical film theory (with the exception of the auteur theory) to the such works as Dr. Strangelove, 2001: A Space Odyssey and A Clockwork Orange. This assignment is a proposal for a much larger assignment that is required to complete my degree. I would like this assignment to be of original and extremely well-written otherwise I fear that it will not be approved.
