Keanu ReevesActor
Keanu Charles Reeves, whose first name means "cool breeze over the mountains" in Hawaiian, was born September 2, 1964 in Beirut, Lebanon. He is the son of Patricia Taylor, a showgirl and costume designer, and Samuel Nowlin Reeves, a geologist. Keanu's father was born in Hawaii, of British, Portuguese, Native Hawaiian, and Chinese ancestry, and Keanu's mother is originally from England. After his parents' marriage dissolved, Keanu moved with his mother and younger sister, Kim Reeves, to New York City, then Toronto. Stepfather #1 was Paul Aaron, a stage and film director - he and Patricia divorced within a year, after which she went on to marry (and divorce) rock promoter Robert Miller and hair salon owner Jack Bond. Reeves never reconnected with his biological father. In high school, Reeves was lukewarm toward academics but took a keen interest in ice hockey (as team goalie, he earned the nickname "The Wall") and drama. He eventually dropped out of school to pursue an acting career. After a few stage gigs and a handful of made-for-TV movies, he scored a supporting role in the Rob Lowe hockey flick Youngblood (1986), which was filmed in Canada. Shortly after the production wrapped, Reeves packed his bags and headed for Hollywood. Reeves popped up on critics' radar with his performance in the dark adolescent drama, River's Edge (1986), and landed a supporting role in the Oscar-nominated Dangerous Liaisons (1988) with director Stephen Frears. His first popular success was the role of totally rad dude Ted "Theodore" Logan in Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure (1989). The wacky time-travel movie became something of a cultural phenomenon, and audiences would forever confuse Reeves's real-life persona with that of his doofy on-screen counterpart. He then joined the casts of Ron Howard's comedy, Parenthood (1989) and Lawrence Kasdan's I Love You to Death (1990). Over the next few years, Reeves tried to shake the Ted stigma with a series of highbrow projects. He played a slumming rich boy opposite River Phoenix's narcoleptic male hustler in My Own Private Idaho (1991), an unlucky lawyer who stumbles into the vampire's lair in Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992), and Shakespearean party-pooper Don John in Much Ado About Nothing (1993). In 1994, the understated actor became a big-budget action star with the release of Speed (1994). Its success heralded an era of five years in which Reeves would alternate between small films, like Feeling Minnesota (1996) and The Last Time I Committed Suicide (1997), and big films like A Walk in the Clouds (1995) and The Devil's Advocate (1997). (There were a couple misfires, too: Johnny Mnemonic (1995) and Chain Reaction (1996).) After all this, Reeves did the unthinkable and passed on the Speed sequel, but he struck box-office gold again a few years later with the Wachowski siblings' cyberadventure, The Matrix (1999). Now a bonafide box-office star, Keanu would appear in a string of smaller films -- among them The Replacements (2000), The Watcher (2000), The Gift (2000), Sweet November (2001), and Hardball (2001) - before The Matrix Reloaded (2003) and The Matrix Revolutions (2003) were both released in 2003. Since the end of The Matrix trilogy, Keanu has divided his time between mainstream and indie fare, landing hits with Something's Gotta Give (2003), The Lake House (2006), and Street Kings (2008). He's kept Matrix fans satiated with films such as Constantine (2005), A Scanner Darkly (2006), and The Day the Earth Stood Still (2008). And he's waded back into art-house territory with Ellie Parker (2005), Thumbsucker (2005), The Private Lives of Pippa Lee (2009), and Henry's Crime (2010). Most recently, as post-production on the samurai epic 47 Ronin (2013) waged on, Keanu appeared in front of the camera in Side by Side (2012), a documentary on celluloid and digital filmmaking, which he also produced. He also directed another Asian-influenced project, Man of Tai Chi (2013). In 2014, Keanu played the title role in the action revenge film John Wick (2014), which became popular with critics and audiences alike. He reprised the role in John Wick: Chapter 2 (2017), taking the now-iconic character to a better opening weekend and even more enthusiastic reviews than the first go-around.

Paedophile appeal fails
PETER CHALLIS: Appeal failed.
A YOUTH worker who plied boys with alcohol and cannabis before sexually abusing them and videoing explicit acts, has failed to win a cut in his sentence. Peter Colin Challis, 45, of Tern Gardens, Chatteris, was jailed for seven years at Peterborough Crow
A YOUTH worker who plied boys with alcohol and cannabis before sexually abusing them and videoing explicit acts, has failed to win a cut in his sentence.
Peter Colin Challis, 45, of Tern Gardens, Chatteris, was jailed for seven years at Peterborough Crown Court, after pleading guilty in October 2002 to a string of offences.
He admitted two counts of indecent assault, two of indecency with a child, seven of possessing an indecent photograph of a child, four of taking indecent photographs of a child, and one of permitting premises to be used for smoking cannabis.
The part-time youth worker also received a three-year extended term, meaning he can be recalled to prison if he takes one step out of line in the three years after his jail sentence.
London's Criminal Appeal Court on Friday refused to cut his sentence, rejecting claims it was too long given his guilty plea, previous good character, and the fact he had "lost everything" by committing the offences.
Mr Justice Ramsey, sitting with Lord Justice Latham and Judge Peter Beaumont, did consider individual sentences were too long, but the variations they made resulted in no difference to the overall term.
"This court considers the overall conduct and the totality of the sentence - on the basis of a total sentence of seven years - is one which cannot be described as manifestly excessive," the judge said.
"The three-year extension is, in the view of this court, a proper extension in order to ensure the continued supervision of this appellant, who is clearly a dangerous person when he comes into contact with children in a position of trust."
The sentencing judge had noted the guilty plea, but pointed out it was inevitable - on the basis of Challis' own video.
He referred to Challis grooming the boys by plying them with alcohol and soft drugs, before corrupting them into thinking certain behaviour was normal when it was clearly anything but.

The Department for International Development (DFID) runs a scheme for global curriculum project grants.
The grants are part of an initiative known as Global School Partnerships. The aim of the initiative is to encourage young people to commit themselves to a more just and sustainable world.
Over the last few years, DFID has helped to create 2,000 partnerships. These connect UK schools to schools in Asia, Africa, the Caribbean and Latin America.
Global curriculum project grants help such partnerships with the growth of joint studies. These studies must have a global dimension.
The grants are for travel costs. These relate to visits by two teachers from each school to their partner.
The grants also apply to any project costs. These might include training, the provision of cover in the absence of teachers, and the price of any relevant project materials.
Applicants must divide the grant between the two schools. As a result, during the period of funding, teachers should be able to make one visit to the partner school.
Applicants can renew the grant each year. This can continue for three years. DFID supplies the renewal form.
Funding in the second and third years may be the same as in the first year.
Schools with a partnership that has run for two years or more are eligible to apply for a grant.
The partnerships can exist between sixth form colleges, secondary schools, special schools, primary schools, middle schools and pre-schools.
The maximum grant for a school partnership is £6,200.
When two schools in the UK are working jointly with two in another country, the maximum grant is £12,400.
When three schools in the UK are working jointly with three in another country, the maximum grant is £18,600.
£18,600 is the maximum that DFID awards for any global curriculum project. When four or more schools in the UK work jointly with four or more in another country, the maximum grant is £18,600.
The primary focus of the grant is for teachers to travel and develop global curriculum projects. But it may be possible for secondary-age students to benefit as well.
This applies only in the second and third years of the project. Applicants should make clear in their claims for the grant that they want students involved.
If successful, DFID awards a maximum grant of £6,800. Such an amount covers no more than four students from each of the partnership schools.
To clarify the intention of the grants, DFID runs grant seminars. At these seminars, applicants can also obtain advice about completing the claim form.
During the claim process, applicants can seek help from DFID regional co-ordinators.
An independent panel assesses all grant claims. Following the assessment, DFID writes to applicants.
If an application is unsuccessful, DFID gives feedback.
Successful applicants sign a contract with DFID. DFID then places 80% of the grant money into the UK school's bank account. DFID pays the remaining 20% once it receives a project report from the school a year later.
I am delighted to see that the Department for International Development is offering Global Development Project grants. This is exactly what I have been looking for during the past 6 years to help pupils in my school develop their ongoing links with some highly deserving Commonwealth partners. Even if I am not successful in securing a grant, I greatly appreciate the opportunity that the DFID is offering! Thank you so much.


A portrait of Thomas McKellar (1812-1899) from the first of two photographic portrait albums assembled by W. Curtis Taylor & Company for the Centennial Exhibition. MacKellar was born in New York. At the age of 14 he entered the printing establishment of Harper Brothers. In 1833 he removed to Philadelphia and joined the type-foundry firm of Johnson & Smith, as proofreader. He subsequently became a foreman, and then a partner in that firm, which has been known from 1860 as Mackellar, Smiths, and Jordan, type-founders of Philadelphia. His publications include The American Printer, 1866, a prose work.
This digital record contains one image that depicts one portrait from box 114 (labeled as: Representative Men in Phila. 1876").

Mojca Mars runs Super Spicy Media, an agency that helps businesses get the results they deserve with social media. Today she is joining us all the way from Slovenia. She dropped out of college and was fired from her last job, which lead her to freelancing, and in the last 18 months she has doubled her income twice thanks to social media.
Although social media ads can perform well when setup correctly, I was skeptical about using Twitter and Facebook to organically get new clients. Mojca explains not only how she did just that (and how you can too), but also the mistakes to avoid along the way, and how all of this creates a dynamic where her clients want to work with her and only her.
Mojca put together a special package for our listeners with a bunch of free resources to help make doing this on your own even easier. If you are looking to get started with Facebook ads, she even included a 50% discount on her new book, The Facebook Ads Manual. You can find this awesome resource linked at the bottom of this page.
If you're tired of pitching and want clients to start coming to you instead of the other way around, or if you just want to learn how to pronounce Mojca, then this episode is for you.
Social media ads (when done right) can work wonders for nearly any business, but Mojca shows that even organic social media interactions can lead to more clients. While she has experience on most social networks, Twitter is Mojca's favorite, so that is where she focused her early efforts.
She started by following the people she admired, like Brennan Dunn, and began engaging with them. This wasn't forceful or awkward, but if he would tweet out a blog post, she would comment with what she liked about it and that sort of thing. If he was asking questions about something she knew, she would reach out and help. Mojca wasn't trying to be "professional," she was just trying to be herself and make new connections.
And it worked. Brennan eventually reached out and asked for her help building out his own social media presence and invited her to come to the US to speak at his inaugural Double Your Freelancing Conference, both of which helped raise her profile.
While making connections with influencers is always going to be helpful, a tactic that really accelerated her growth was focused on everyday users that don't necessarily have large followings. She would search for people who were looking for help with social media, and would then reach out and give them advice without asking for anything in return. This established her as an authority in their eyes, and often times these small relationships would lead to paid consulting arrangements.
Thanks to the public nature of social media, she saw a second benefit aside from directly leading her to clients. Other people would see how helpful Mojca was being and would then lookup her site or just reach out to her on Twitter.
Combining these tactics into her regular Twitter routine (which takes about an hour a day) led to doubling her business twice in the last 18 months.
Simply put, most businesses make the mistake of being too professional in their social media interactions. Twitter and Facebook are not the places to write buttoned-up, jargon-filled posts talking about your latest press release. People go on social networks to communicate with other people, not to get sold to. If you want to stand out, you need to let people know that there is actually a human behind your account that is interesting enough for them to listen to.
Mojca's trademark is her dinosaur onesie which she proudly shows off whenever she has the chance. Her personality is bold, energetic, and a little goofy, so that's how she is on Twitter. For an agency, it can be difficult to "be yourself" when there is a whole team of people working on projects, but you can overcome that by having team members share their stories, or even sharing the stories of your clients.
If you want to get results on social media, you need to be social, and that involves showing some personality.
All of Mojca's engagements start with an hour long roadmapping session, or "Super Spicy Session" as she calls them, which is paid for in advance.
Before the call, she conducts an audit of the client's social media presence, then during the call she tells them what is wrong and why they aren't getting the results they are looking for. Then she tells them what they can improve today to start getting results. At the end, they are left with a nice report so they can go back and review the information.
While this is a bit more thorough than a standard pitch, the purpose is the same; get the client to pay you for a larger project. Instead of simply pitching for free, you are taking the time to diagnose your prospect's problems and present them a solution that has value on its own.
Not only does this give Super Spicy Media a lower priced way for clients to test the waters of a full engagement, but in most cases after seeing everything that is wrong with their social media strategy they will realize they don't have the time to do it themselves and just hire her for the full project.
Not only is Mojca able to reliably find great clients using social media, but the way she does it creates a dynamic between her and the client that most agencies can only dream of. Because she has shown them who she is as a person and demonstrated her knowledge, when people want to work with Mojca they aren't looking to work with a social media consultant, they are looking to work with Mojca, and only Mojca.
The standard approach to authority building is through blogging, but often times it can be intimidating to reach out to somebody who wrote a blog post you liked. They almost seem off limits. But when you are prominent on social media, your prospective clients can see that you aren't in fact scary, and do in fact regularly interact with anybody and everybody.
And because they see her as an expert and are seeking her out, they don't view her as simply yet another contractor who is only paid to execute a plan. They want her advice and want her to lead the engagement. This gets the clients coming to her, removing a lot of the typical pitch, and also lets her charge a premium for her services. There is only one Mojca, after all.
Mojca was generous enough to put together a special package just for Agency Advantage listeners. In the free package, you will get a collection of resources (not available anywhere else) detailing her step-by-step process for using social media to get high-paying clients. If you want something more concrete than what I wrote out in these notes, then this is exactly what you need.
On top of that, she included a 50% discount on her new book, The Facebook Ads Manual. So if you are struggling to get your Facebook ads performing, you won't find a better deal than this.
Do you run your social media accounts more like a business or like a person? What sort of results have you seen? Share your story in the comments below.

CATA will ask feds for stimulus package
Dave Webb
@itworldca
Published: December 10th, 2008
John Reid, president of the Canadian Advanced Technology Alliance(CATA), shared with me a draft press release in which the advocacygroup will ask Ottawa to deliver $60-billion in infrastructure spendingto stimulate the Canadian economy.
It's part of a campaign that will roll out over the next couple ofdays, which will involve using Web 2.0 technologies to allow allCanadians to participate in the creation of a stimulus manifesto ofsorts.
It struck me as odd timing — lobbying for a stimulus package whenthe government is AWOL — but Reid says that's exactly the time for CATAto step up.
"This is why we've often positioned ourselves as a political partyfor the industry," Reid said. When the political waters are murky, CATAcan speak clearly about what is good for the economy.
Reid cites a body of economic advice from around the world that sayswe're going to have to spend our way out of the comingrecession/depression. "Governments have a legitimate role to beanticyclical," Reid said. Finance Minister Jim Flaherty's budget updatelast month — which precipitated the hailstorm that's left ustemporarily sans-government by conspicuously avoiding a stimuluspackage — "missed the mark completely," according to Reid.
CATA's party-neutral, believing if the organization is clear aboutwhat's best for the economy, its platform's appeal will cross partylines. "We just want to make sure everybody's working," he said.
The collective wisdom seems to be that targeting infrastructure —roads, bridges, green technology, mass transit and ICT — is the bestway to stimulate the economy. There's a time when ideology's got toserve economic reality, and I say we're there.
But CATA's not just proposing infrastructure spending. Reid saysthey'll be keeping an eye out for "disconnections" between spendingprograms and the economy — for example, if the research and developmenttax regime isn't changed, that will erode the value of theinfrastructure investment.

You may experience upset at the end of a relationship or have a manipulating or controlling partner. It might be a parent-child power struggle that's hard to cope with. It may be your marriage that has broken down. All relationships take a degree of work and in counselling, the work we do together is based upon your experience within the dynamic of any relationship. Focusing primarily on your feelings, affectations and behaviours, we will explore what feels important for you to regain a sense of comfort within the relationship.
There are many relationships from familial to intimate to co-workers and friendships we can find ourselves in. Regardless of the issues, talking therapies has proven effective in allowing people to shift their perspective and view within a challenging relationship, allowing them to act and feel in a new way that benefits relations. Sessions can range from 6-onwards.
Alison helped me see that my behaviour resulted in the same old story every time but when I changed my attitude, things began to improve. This wasn't easy for me because I didn't think I could ever change but I truly valued her ongoing support through difficult times.


After an assignment has been completed and the report has been delivered, an appraiser may be asked to readdress (transfer) the report to another party. Does USPAP allow an appraiser to readdress (transfer) a report by altering it to indicate a new recipient as the client or additional intended user when the original report was completed for another party?
The Confidentiality and Conduct sections of the ETHICS RULE.
Standards Rules such as 1-2(a) and 1-2(b); 7-2(a) and 7-2(b); and 9-2(a), which require an appraiser to identify the client, intended users, and intended use.
Standards Rules such as 2-1(a), 8-1(a), 10-1(a), which require an appraiser to clearly and accurately set forth the appraisal in a manner that is not misleading.
SUPPLEMENTAL STANDARDS RULE, which requires an appraiser to ascertain whether supplemental standards apply to the assignment in addition to USPAP.
Statement on Appraisal Standards 9 (SMT-9), which requires the appraiser to identify and disclose the client and intended users and the intended use in an appraisal, appraisal review, or appraisal consulting assignment.
Statement on Appraisal Standards No. 10 (SMT-10), which describes applicability of USPAP in federally related transactions.
Advisory Opinion 25 (AO-25), which covers clarification of the client in a federally related transaction.
Advisory Opinion 27 (AO-27), which addresses appraising the same property for a new client.
No. Once a report has been prepared for a named client(s) and any other identified intended users and for an identified intended use, the appraiser cannot readdress (transfer) the report to another party.
Identification of the client, any other intended users, and the intended use are key elements in all assignments. Because these identifications drive the appraisers scope of work decision, as well as other elements of the assignment, they must be determined at the time of the assignment. They cannot be modified after an assignment has been completed. See Statement on Appraisal Standards No. 9 (SMT-9) for further clarification.

Facebook Launches Its Own Version of Foursquare: Facebook Places
By Jocelyn RouseyAug 19th, 2010, 4:19 pm
Twitter share button
Late yesterday, Facebook launched a new "geolocation" application called Facebook Places. The app, which resembles existing, smaller start up companies likes Foursquare and Gowalla, allows users to "check-in" at different locations and thereby announce their whereabouts to friends as well as connect with other Facebook users in the same location. At the moment, the application is only available in the U.S. to smart phone users, though Facebook plans to expand it worldwide.
On the one hand, the phenomenon of location-based social networking sounds like a cool, if mildly creepy, indication of technology's reach into our daily lives. Consequently, it doesn't seem surprising that Facebook, social networking titan that it is, would want in on the new market, regardless of how that might affect those smaller start ups.
But if simply admiring the general coolness/creepiness of the new phenomenon doesn't do it for you, CNET's Caroline McCarthy takes note of a few of the more philosophical considerations this phenomenon brings to light.
At the heart of any deep discussion about the rise of technology in the modern age is how it simultaneously connects people and drives them apart. Urban sociologists, McCarthy explains, tend to articulate this in terms of technology "threatening the 'third place,' a term coined by urban sociologist Ray Oldenburg to refer to a spot of social gathering and interaction that was differentiated from the workplace and home." Rather than actual social interaction, we could end up in gadget-centric, Wall-E-esque bubbles of faux-interaction.
But Christopher Cox, Facebook's vice president of product, would argue instead that the rising prominence of technology doesn't necessarily mean we're all doomed to technological isolation. Rather, applications like Facebook Places enable healthy human interaction.
"The entire goal of this product, and in general what we're trying to develop here, is that the 'third place' is alive and well and that technology can actually be the thing that pulls us away from the TV and out to the nightclub or out to the concert or out to the theater or out to the bar. Technology does not need to estrange us from one another."
At any rate, that's something for you to mull over as you max out your Facebook privacy settings because, of course, Facebook Places bears the hallmark of the not-so-private pre-set privacy settings. What did you expect, really?

Drops from 5 Man Heroic Crusader's Coliseum.
Compared to the t7 (25) hunter shoulders these are way better.
Unless you have 2 or more t7 for the set bonus, choose these over your tier. You won't regret it.
Edited after the item fix.
Edit: Why downrate true info?
Does any1 know which of the bosses this drops from, I'm gonna say the first one on a wild guess.
Looking at the 3D view on this page they're the same model as the Ebon Blade rep shoulders? Jeez, that's lame. This is probably going to to be the first upgrade for many hunters from those rep shoulders (which are excellent for ilvl 200 blues), certainly for non-raiders anyway, and they get exactly the same look? Lame and lazy Blizzard.
I have run H ToC with my hunter every day since it was released in 3.2, and these FINALLY just dropped. Needless to say, they are not a very common piece of loot. 12% drop rate on a boss that only spawns half the time. Add in a bit of bad luck, and, well, you do the math.

Q: Where is the save files directory? I have been searching for the save files directory for Tomb Raider 2013. However, I was not able to find it.
Does anyone know where the save files are stored?

A: This differs depending on the version of the game you've got. I got my copy of Tomb Raider via Steam, and my saves folder is located here;
Steam Folder\userdata\<profile id>\203160\remote
For any other release of the game (retail box or Origin) the saves will probably be located here;
C:\Users\<your username>\AppData\Local\Square Enix


A man aged 38 is in a critical condition in isolation in Glasgow's Gartnavel General Hospital after being confirmed as having Crimean-Congo Viral Haemorrhagic Fever.
He was admitted to hospital less than three hours after returning to Glasgow on an Emirates flight from Dubai and is being treated in the city's Brownlee unit, which specialises in infectious diseases. The tick-borne tropical disease is rare in Western Europe and is fatal in up to 30% of cases, though the risk of person-to-person transmission is extremely low.


High quality videos of tutorials and talks from the Seventh International Semantic Web Conference are now available on the excellent VideoLectures.net site. It's a great opportunity to benefit from the conference if you were not able to attend or, even if you were, to see presentations you were not able to attend.
Videolectures captured the slides for most of the presentations (which are available for downloading) and their site shows both the the speaker's video and slides in synchronization. Videolectures used three camera crews in parallel so were able to capture almost all of the presentations. Here are some highlights from the ~90 videos to whet your appetite.
Introduction to the Semantic Web: An all-day tutorial featuring ten top researchers covering all aspects of the Semantic Web.
How to Publish Linked Data on the Web: A three-hour tutorial by five researchers explaining how LOD works and how you can exploit it.
Freebase: An Open, Writable Database of the World's Information: A keynote by MetaWeb CTO John Giannandrea on Freebase.
Semantic Web Challenge & Billion Triple Challenge: The session on the Semantic Web Challenge finalists.
Semantic Wikis: Fusing the two strands of the Semantic Web: Mark Greaves on Semantic Wikis.

Gerard Walker (ジェラルド・ウォーカー, Jerarudo Wōkā) is Takumi's older half-brother, Patricia's son and a successful businessman. He is established in England and currently lives in the Raven Castle along with other Walker Family members and employees. Gerald also has Cedric Morris as a personal bodyguard.
Gerald is a tall, handsome young man with straight, dark blue hair and light blue eyes. He inherited Patricia's weak body and it is assumed he has the same illness as her. Gerald is usually seen wearing a business suit. Even though Gerald and Takumi don't have the same father, they really do look very similar; the only noticeable difference being their hair & eye color. After observing his reaction to the apples Misaki brought for Usui, Misaki Ayuzawa concludes (albeit comically) that Gerald and Usui are similar, yet not similar at the same time.
Gerald has a same cool aura as his younger half-brother, but tends to change to a dangerous one when talking business and important stuff. He has a playful personality and, according to himself, he tends to overestimate himself when everything goes well for him. Gerald dislikes Japan for its dislike of smokers, though he does like the cheap cigarettes. Though he appears devious and calculating, he is strangely jovial and enjoys teasing Cedric Morris, similar to how Takumi makes fun of his acquaintances. Gerald is seen to be sincere and serious when the moment calls for it.
Gerald is also quite calm, rational and collected. He has some morals and is pretty respectful, as seen when he didn't check into Takumi's phone when he had the chance to do it. Gerald usually tends to change from a strangely cheerful attitude to a dangerous one. Gerald cares for his family and its reputation and also for all the people around him. As claimed by Edward, Gerald really has the ability to manage business.[1]However, Gerald states his abilities are because he has important people around him, thus making him modest. He is very popular and smiles a lot. However, Gerald appears to also have a softer side. According to Edward, he is intelligent and has a sense of responsibility and tends to take everything upon himself, just like his mother.[2] When his grandfather scold him for everything that happened regarding Takumi, he didn't say anything, thus making Gerald realize and admitting his mistake. He also was downcast and felt guilty after this event.
Gerald is the child of Patricia Walker and Edward Walker. After his mother's death, nobody was wishing to tell him
One of Gerald's lifestyle stores
the truth. One day, he finds Patricia's diary and reads it.[3] As he is the legitimate son of one of the most important companies, he constantly has bodyguard(s) following him around, sometimes jumping out of nowhere. According to his father, Gerald is a very capable business man. He runs many lifestyle stores around England with Raven Castle's special goods (wine and lavender field) as its main product. Gerald is also a very popular and influenceable man. Everyday, when guests visit the castle, he affectionately sends them of. He is adored and relied on by those around him, as claimed by Takumi.[4]
Gerald's debut
Before his debut, Gerald sends his most trusted bodyguard to watch over Usui and make sure he does not get too comfortable with Misaki, much to Usui's chagrin and annoyance. Gerald makes his first appearance during café's buffet party, when he, surrounded by bodyguards, accidentally scares Misaki. As he is apologizing for it, she is very surprised because of his resemblance with Usui.[5]
Gerald disguised
When Misaki decides to go to Takumi, Gerald, disguising himself by a wig which makes him look exactly like Takumi, welcomes Misaki. She sees through his trick and asks him, with a serious look, if Takumi is around.[6] Gerald asks her to come in but Misaki refuses, as the owner didn't give his consent. Gerald is surprised, commenting to hiself about Misaki that she is a strong willed woman.[7] Then he smiles, takes off his wig, and introduces himself as Takumi's brother. Misaki recognizes him as the guy whom she spotted at the party.[8] He welcomes her and Misaki notices that Takumi and Gerald radiate the same appearance.When Gerald asks if she has an important message for Takumi, she tells him that she came to give him some apples.[9] Gerald happily looks at her, mentioning that he is very fond of apples. Misaki offers him some,[10] but Gerald ends up cutting his finger while trying to cut the apples.[11] Suddenly, a lot of bodyguards appear and tend to Gerald's wound[12], advising him to leave for tonight. He decides to do so and decides to leave a bodyguard to stay with Misaki and take care of her.[13]
Gerald surrounded by his bodyguards
As he is about to leave, Takumi arrives. Gerald welcomes him but Takumi doesn't looks happy after seeing his brother.[14] They start conversing in English, much to Misaki's confusion. Takumi asks him the reason for him to come to his house, but Gerald refuses to talk now.[15] While leaving, he says "I think a dog running away from discipline, must have its bones crushed to pieces. Don't go around doing disobedient things now".[16] Outside, Gerald starts to smoke a ciggarete while commenting on Japan. When Cedric tells him to treat his wound as soon as possible, Gerald leaves while saying to Cedric to take care of the rest.[17]
Gerald talking to Cedric on the phone
While Gerald is hospitalized, Cedric makes him a visit, inquiring about his health and injury.[18] Gerald comments and makes fun of Cedric's appearance at first, and then asks about Takumi.[19] Later, in Takumi's apartment, Takumi and Gerald are seen talking to each other, with Gerald informing him that he will be leaving for UK tonight.[20] Gerald states that Takumi preferred living here because it was comfortable, however, he has no friends and in addition to that, he lives alone. Takumi says that he does have a friend whom he might find difficult to part with and Gerald recognizes the friend as Misaki.[21] Gerald tells him that he cannot cut ties with the Walker Family and he ought to realize his 'position'. He also compliments on the fact that Takumi is smiling even while getting angry.[22] At last, Gerald says that he must have realized that he [Takumi] and Misaki cannot be together.[23]
Gerald and Tora talking on the phone
Later, Gerald makes Cedric wear the Ninja outfit for fun. Cedric is seen talking with Gerald on the phone, and Gerald states that he must be having fun.[24] He further says that no matter how much Takumi resists, this is for his own good. When Cedric tells him that he actually dressed as a ninja, Gerald demands for a photo.[25] And after seeing it, he sends a mail, stating that he is very fortunate to have someone like him [Cedric] who lets him to tease him that much.[26] After some time, Cedric is seen talking to Gerald on phone, and is horrified as he hears that Gerald is coughing.[27] Gerald tells him that he burnt too much incense and got chocked by the smell of lavender, and after hearing this, Cedric refuses to follow any orders and decides to come back to England.[28] More later, Tora is seen talking to Gerald on phone, who tells him that he really appreciates him for his efforts, asking him to take good care of Takumi, calling Tora "Tiger-kun".[29] After he hangs up, Tora calls both, him and Takumi, despicable.[30] After some time, Tora and Gerald are seen, again, talking on the phone, planning a grand celebration for Takumi's birthday on April 27th, with the intention of making him get used to the position of "main character".[31]
Gerald and Takumi talking
Later, Gerald is informed by Cedric that he (Cedric) received a notification from Takumi that he is heading to England. Gerald is surprised and asks Cedric what kind of joke is this.[32] When Takumi comes to the Raven Castle, Gerald arrives and greets Takumi, and tells him that they should celebrate their reunion with some wine. He also asks him if he liked England so far.[33] Gerald tells him that he contacted his parents for queries, and was relieved to know that they happily sent him [Takumi] to England.[34] He asks Takumi if he came as a guest or as a member of the Walker Family.[35] Gerald and Cedric are then seen talking to Edward Walker, who happily praises Gerald for his work.[36]

The maids talk among themselves that Gerald would be a suitable head of the family.[37] Gerald starts coughing, and tells Cedric that he choked himself again.[38] He then tells Cedric that he needs his father's help to keep the duke in his room.[39] At [[[Maid Latte]], Hinata asks Misaki if Takumi really left for England.[40] Soon, Maria arrives and shows a video message to Misaki, which has been sent from Gerald.[41] He describes the Castle and uses some voice effects for Takumi.[42] Gerald also leaves a message to Misaki in which he tells her that she doesn't have to worry, but to
Gerald speaking to Takumi
work hard for her entrance exams.[43] Back in England, Gerald describes to Takumi that he needs to promote himself in order to get rid of the image of "a illegitimate child". Takumi asks if he is serious about bringing him back to the family, because Gerald is the only one who wishes for it. Even though Gerald agrees, Takumi bluntly refuses, and asks Gerald to let him meet his grandfather.[44] Gerald starts coughing and refuses, saying that the
Gerald coughing
grandfather is ill and that he won't let him receive any shock. Gerald says to Takumi that he will allow him to meet him once the preparations are over.[45] Then, Gerald is seen speaking to himself and telling that he and Takumi are similar since they tend to overstimate ourselves when everything goes well for us. He also says that Takumi won't be able to go back.[46]
Gerald and Takumi in a car
Later, Gerald decides to take Takumi out. While they are in the car, Gerald asks Takumi where should they go and then states that he already decided their destination[47]:a shop in London to have some suits prepared for him. He tells him that its one of his favorites tailor.[48] While the tailor takes Takumi's body measurements, Gerald locks up his phone in a box, telling Takumi that this time he won't pick his methods and that he will keep his phone safe. He also states that he will return it back when the party that has to be held especially for him ends.[49]
Then Gerald confines Takumi to a room, forbidding him to come out or he will destroy his phone. Gerald apologies for this saying that he doesn't have the time to make Cedric keep watch here and that he wants him to wait in the room obediently. He also tells Takumi that his meal will be brought to him by the maids and if there's anything he wants, he just needs to ring the bell and then tells him not to smash the doors as they are valuable cultural properties in the house.[50] After leaving the room, Gerald again starts coughing, making Cedric worried.[51]
Gerald comes in Takumi's room
After Takumi finishes reading his mother's diary which he received from Gilbert, Gerald comes in and asks him if he read everything. Takumi replies that "it was an unprecedented story about a mother who was hungry for love."[52] Gerald then says that no one was willing to tell him the truth about her death when he was young. Takumi comments that he [Gerald] was mama's spoiled child. Gerald replies that he really loved her then and that though she was a sadist, she was still very gentle towards him. He also says that after finding out the truth by reading the diary he felt betrayed and never dreamt that that it would happen.[53]
Gerald telling Takumi he hates his existence
Then Gerald tells Takumi that he hates his existence but, for him, who has a weak body just like mother, he [Takumi] is his trump card. He says that it'd be better than giving the castle to someone else, even if they have different fathers. Takumi asks if blood relations are that important and Gerald replies that it is and that his mother told him to protect the castle even if it kills him.[54] Looking at his clock, Gerald says that it's time for bringing his dinner and asks Takumi to give him the diary. He also states that if he [Takumi] resents his misfortune, it will be easier to resent mother and him [Gerald] instead. Then Gerald leaves, while telling Takumi not to hold back and to come to him.[55] During the Raven Castle Festival, when Misaki arrives in England, Gerald and Cedric had found her, to her horror. Gerald thinks that she didn't come alone so he asks who she is with.[56] She wanted to hide it but to her shock, he already knew that it is Tora. Gerald states that it looked so fun when she was in a helicopter that he was really envious. Then he makes a serious face, telling Misaki it's about time to stop this child's play.[57] Since Gerald wants to capture her, Misaki quickly runs away and Cedric is right behind her. Gerald is seen eating a hamburger while watching Cedric and Misaki running. He thinks that there wasn't any need for her to run[58] and that with Misaki in his hand, there is no other reason for Takumi to go back.[59] Later, when Misaki and Takumi reunite, Gerald makes his appearance after they kiss. Takumi suddenly shouts to Gerald his apology for making a ruckus. Gerald comments
Gerald thinking that by capturing Misaki, Takumi will have no reasons to leave
that they are quite gutsy. This made Misaki embarrassed for kissing in public with so many people watching. Gerald is telling someone to treat Misaki's injury and for Takumi to change his clothes and give everyone... Someone shouts that isn't necessary.[60] They are all surprised to see Takumi's grandfather with Gilbert.[61] Takumi's grandfather asks if this is all done by Gerald[62] and tells him that from today on,the day he [Richard] will see Takumi's face will never come again.[63] While the people are discussing over what happened, Gerald is telling Takumi about how his plan was ruined.[64] He gives Takumi's phone back with the assurance of not looking inside it. He comments about it being old and how about replacing the phone. Takumi insists on using it since it isn't broken.[65] Gerald makes a comparison about how Takumi views his cellphone and lover.[66] Later, Gerald seems to be doing some damage control with some socialite people who
Gerald giving Takumi back his phone
wanted to meet with Takumi. And, his grandfather won't meet with them either. Cedric tells Gerald that he has a phone call[67] but it seems to be an alibi because upstairs, Gerald had a coughing fit. Cedric tells him to rest, but Gerald refuses because he still has to calm down the media. Grandfather overhears this.[68]
Gerald sincerely smiling
Richard shouts at Gerald if that is all he has to say and nothing more, then leave.[69] Edward appears, commenting that he [Gerald] makes a troubled face again. As Gerald doesn't say anything, Edward adds that something troublesome must has happened today and asks him for a cup of tea.[70] Next, they are seen standing at a table. While Edward drinks his tea, Gerald asks him if he bought that flower, and Edward replies that he did. He then takes the flower that has a smiley face on its patchwork, adding that he couldn't leave it alone as he chanced upon it.[71] Gerald, still downcast and feeling guilty for that he did, asks his father why isn't him scolding him. Edward, for the first time, opens his eyes, showing a surprised expression. He then comments that Gerald is like Tricia, as he inherited her intelligence, sense of responsibility and the part where he takes everything upon himself. Edward adds that he doesn't think he would've won Tricia as he always lost in anything he competed.[72] He also says, while smiling, that the only thing he's confident of winning is being able to continue loving them all no matter what happens. Edward then starts to speak as the flower he holds, asking Gerald if he knows its name. He adds that its name is "Ficus Pumila" and that, in the language of flowers, it means "You'll cheer me up".[73] As he doesn't know what to say next as he has no plan, Gerald is cheered up andsincerely smiles, thanking him.[74]
Later, on Christmas, Gerald sends Cedric in Japan to give Takumi a present, which is a leopard bikini brief with a note "Merry Christmas! This is a present from your kind brother! Aren't you touched? The underwear is a bonus! Tiger-kun has also the same one!"[75]
Relationships Edit
Takumi Usui Edit
Gerald advising Takumi
Gerald is Takumi's older English half-brother. He and Takumi look almost identical, except that Gerald's hair is straight and dark blue and also his eyes are light blue. Gerald is an active part of the Walker family's plan to control Takumi, and helps in the tracking of Takumi and the plan for his transference to Miyabigaoka. His Japanese is fluent, although he and Takumi usually converse in English. Takumi and Gerald's relationship does not seem to be very good, which might possibly be because of Gerald's interference with Takumi's life and relationship with Misaki. Gerald is disapproving of the relationship between Misaki and Takumi and is out to separate them. Gerald despises Takumi, most probably because he is an illegitimate child. Also, Gerald blames Takumi for his mother's death.
Cedric Morris Edit
Cedric is Gerald's most trusted bodyguard and apparently, they've been knowing each other from childhood. Gerald calls Cedric "Ceddy" and enjoys teasing him similar to how Takumi makes fun of his acquaintances. He also sends Cedric to watch over Usui and make sure he does not get too comfortable with Misaki. They seem to get along very well. Cedric goes to Gerald everywhere and they are always seen together. Cedric cares for Gerald beyond his duty, as he worries for his health. Gerald considers himself very fortunate to have someone like Cedric by his side. He also sees Cedric as a great person.
Edward Walker Edit
Edward and Gerald having tea together
Edward loves Gerald very much. When Patricia was still alive, they went together in a trip. After her death, he was the one that encouraged him, telling him that, no matter what, his mother will always be by his side. Now that Gerald has been growing up, Edward considers himself an useless father. However, Edward is very aware of Gerald's abilities of business and is very proud of him, like when he told him he's amazing. Still, Gerald considers that his abilities are because he has important people around him. They are in a very good relationship. When Gerald was downcast because of the events occurring with Takumi, Edward was the one that cheered him.
Patricia Walker Edit
Patricia welcoming Gerald
Patricia loved Gerald from the bottom of her heart. As claimed by him, she was very gentle towards him and he truly loved her back then. Patricia also told Gerald that he has to protect the Raven Castle as a promise with her, thing that he does till today even if it kills him.[76] Patricia was very loving, caring and kind with Gerald, pampering him a lot. She referred to him as "Gerry" and, while writing her last words, Patricia called him her "charming angel".[77] After her death, Gerald was crying a lot. As no one was willing to tell him the truth, he found at some point Patricia's diary and learned the truth about his mother. He considered himself betrayed as he "never ever dreamt that it would happen"[78] and started to hate Takumi, blaming him for his mother's death.
Richard Rachester Edit
Richard is Gerald's grandfather. Their relationships isn't revealed very much, but it seems that Gerald is somehow afraid by his grandfather. He preferred not to tell Richard about Takumi's arrival at Raven Castle, but to keep it a secret.
Tora Igarashi Edit
Gerald and Tora seem to get along together, although Tora considers Gerald despicable. They were seen talking a few times on the phone about Takumi. Tora is representing Miyabigaoka in deciding which items (such as oil, candles and cloth products) to bring back to the school.[79]
"I think a dog running away from discipline must have its bones crushed to pieces."[80]
"If you reset your misfortune, it'll be easier to resent mother and me instead. Don't hold back and come at me!"[81]
"I hate your existence."[82]
"Mom told me to protect this castle even if it kills me."[83]
"If I can get my hands on her..then you won't have any reasons to return, Takumi."[84]
"Really, I never grow tired of you, Ceddy."[85]
"You're great, Ceddy! I am very fortunate because I have someone like you by my side who lets me tease him".[86]
His talents appear to be the polar opposite of Takumi's, which includes being unskilled at cooking.
On the cover of volume 13 Gerald is shown with black hair and gray eyes. However, this thing was later corrected as on the cover of Chapter 78 he is shown with dark blue hair and blue eyes.
According to his manga profile[87]:
His full name is Gerald Chester Cof Walker.
He enjoys apples and smoking.
His special skill is chess.
His first name, Gerald, means "spear rule".
His Japanese is fluent, although he and Takumi usually converse in English.
Gerald is 6 years older than Takumi.
Gerald calls Tora "Tiger-kun".

An Origin Story: Medicaid
May 30, 2018 August 20, 2021 by Molly Benoit
Medicaid (noun): health coverage provided through a joint partnership of the federal and state governments to millions of Americans, including low-income individuals, pregnant women, children, elderly adults, and individuals with disabilities.
1937: President Franklin D. Roosevelt did not include national health insurance in the New Deal. The rhetoric of this time was similar to the 2008 election and subsequent passage of the Affordable Care Act , painting any potential government-financed health program as a socialized nightmare. Roosevelt responded to complaints from the American Medical Association (AMA) and put the issue to rest: "Attempts have been made in the past to put medicine into politics. Such attempts have failed and always will fail."
1945: The AMA conducts the most expensive lobbying effort to date against President Truman's plan for universal health care, calling such a program "un-American," "socialized medicine," and "followers of the Moscow party line."
1960: The Kerr-Mills Act passes, granting medical assistance to the elderly. This predecessor of the Medicaid and Medicare looks nothing like what we have come to expect from the national programs of today. Strict guidelines and poor uptake (only 28 states adopted the program) led to an estimated one percent of the elderly receiving benefits.
1964: The election of President Johnson, coupled with a Democratic majority, presents the perfect opportunity to begin crafting legislation on meaningful health reform.
July 30th 1965: The Medicare amendment is added to the Social Security Act and an expanded version of Kerr-Mills, known as Medicaid, begins. Together, these programs are called a "three layer cake," referring to hospital insurance, voluntary physician coverage, and expanded Kerr-Mills.
This story might sound familiar, as it's incredibly similar to the story of the Affordable Care Act. Decades of opposition and accusations of socialized medicine, a policy window made possible by an election cycle, a trial balloon in the form of smaller, state-level legislation…this is how policy has been built throughout U.S. history. Sweeping legislation and drastic policy change take several years to put forward; rarely is anything so drastic that it plummets the country into demise. That isn't to say the Medicaid program and its beneficiaries haven't met its share of challenges since the 1960s. The last 50 years have seen plenty of bumps and bruises that have required hard work at the state, federal, and advocacy levels to iron out.

Birthday of Imam Hassan ibn Ali al-Askari (PBUH) : The Successor of the Infallibles [ 2014/02/09 ]
The Successor of the Infallibles
"The one who dies, not knowing the Imam of his time, will have died the ignorance death."(1)
The most elementary form of knowing an Imam is basic identification; knowing who, from what line of descent, and with what characteristics is the Imam.
Some people during the lifetime of the Ahl al-Bayt (PBUH) were concerned about knowing their present time and future Imam, in order to avoid falling into darkness and losing the track of the right path, and not die the ignorance death. They were serious in this respect and put a lot of efforts.
One of the ways which clearly acted as a guide for the people to identify their future Imam was the introducing and reiteration and of the previous Imams, which their Imamate had been proven to the people; for that the statement of an Imam is a Hujjah (clear proof). In this respect, the tenth Imam of the Shias, Imam Hadi (PBUH) in various instructions introduced his son Imam Hassan Askari (PBUH) to the people, and explicitly called him his successor. For example:
1- Yahya bin Yasar Anbari says:
Imam Hadi (PBUH) introduced his son Imam Hassan Askari (PBUH) as the Imam and Successor after him four months before his passing away, and he asked for us for being witnesses.(2)
2- Ali bin Omar Nawfali says: we were visiting Imam Hadi (PBUH) in his courtyard when his son Sayyed Muhammad was passing by. I asked:
"My master, will this boy be our Imam after you?" He answered: "Your Imam after me will be Hassan."(3)
3- Shahawayh bin Abdullah Jalab narrates:
Imam Hadi (PBUH) wrote a letter to me with the contents as "You wanted to know if my successor was going to be my son, Sayyed Muhammad (4), and you were worried. Don't be upset for 'Allah will not leave alone a people after guiding them, unless He explains what they have to avoid' (5); and your Imam after me will be my son Abu Muhammad (Hassan Askari). What you need is with him, and Allah will put ahead anyone who He prefers, and will impede anyone He wants: 'we don't expire nor make obliterated a verse unless we convey a similar or better one. ' (6) I explicated what was needed for an awake and enlightened mind, and what could convince reason." (7)
4- Abu Baker Fahfaki says: Imam Hadi (PBUH) wrote to me:
My son, Abu Muhammad (Hassan Askari), is the most altruist of the Prophet's household (at that time) and the most prevailing Hujjah (proof). He is the eldest among my sons and my successor. He will inherit my orders and Imamate; whatever you asked me you can ask from him, whatever needed is with him."(8)
5- Abdullah bin Muhammad Isfahani says:
"Imam Hadi (PBUH) said: "Your Imam after me will be the one who will perform Salat on the occasion of my demise."
We never knew Imam Hassan Askari (PBUH) until then. When Imam Hadi passed away, Imam Hassan Askari (PBUH) came and performed the Salat for his father."(9)
6- Safar bin Dolaf says: I heard Imam Hadi (PBUH) saying:
"The Imam after me is Hassan, and after him it will be the Hujjah al-Qa'em, who will fill the earth with justice and equality after being filled with injustice and cruelty."(10)
These are only some examples of the narrations that the religious and faithful believers have narrated from Imam Hadi (PBUH).
Yes, based on the sayings of the prophet of Allah (PBUH&HP), the identification of the Imam is not restricted to a special era; it rather pertains to all the periods and times. Therefore, it is our duty to identify our Imam of time and never fail to obey him, just as the Shiites did in the previous times.
(The above is a selection taken from "The Life of Imam Hassan al-Askari (PBUH)", by Baqir Sharif al-Qarashi (with some changes))(11)
The Roshd Website congratulates all Muslims, especially you dear friend, upon 8th of Rabee al-Thani, the birthday anniversary of the sincere servant of Allah (SWT) , the chosen and guiding leader, the 11th Master of the Shiites,
Imam Hassan al-Askari (PBUH).

2. Osool al-Kafi, vol. 1, p. 325
4. Some companions presumed that Imam Hadi's (PBUH) other son (Muhammad) will be his successor; thus, Imam corrected this and emphasized several times that Imam Hassan al-Askari (PBUH) will be the successor after him.

Q: Why BuddyPress fields not saving? I have a Wordpress+BuddyPress site.  I added some extra fields in user profile.
When i registering user i fill all fields on register form. After i do  redirection in user profile:
function auto_login_new_user( $user_id ) {

    wp_set_current_user($user_id);
    wp_set_auth_cookie($user_id);
            global $current_user;
            get_currentuserinfo();

    wp_redirect( home_url() . '/members/' . $current_user->user_login . '/profile/edit/group/1/' );
    exit();
}
add_action( 'user_register', 'auto_login_new_user' );
?>

And see that BuddyPress's fields is empty. Only default wordpress fields filled.
If i not do redirecting (i mean after registretion use a actiovation email to activate user) all fields in user profile are filling.
Any advises?

A: The user_register hook probably fires too early.
Try:
add_action( 'bp_core_signup_user', 'auto_login_new_user', 100, 1 );

$user_id is passed by the bp_core_signup_user hook.

Q: How can compare 2 elements of each pair in the Arraylist(Java) I have an interface Pair
import java.util.ArrayList;

public interface Pair<T,M> {
    public T getFirst();
    public M getSecond();
    public ArrayList<Pair<T,M>> Compare(ArrayList<Pair<T,M>> list);
}

and an class called MatchingPairs that implement the Pair interface:
import java.util.ArrayList;

public class MatchingPairs implements Pair<Integer, Integer> {

    @Override
    public Integer getFirst() {
        return null;
    }

    @Override
    public Integer getSecond() {
        return null;
    }

    @Override
    public ArrayList<Pair<Integer, Integer>> Compare(ArrayList<Pair<Integer, Integer>> list) {
        return null;
    }
}

I dont know how to compare the first element and the second element of each pair by implementing the compare method.

A: I'm not sure what are you trying to accomplish with the Compare method. But here is an example of comparing two lists of MatchingPairs using the Comparable interface.
import org.jetbrains.annotations.NotNull;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.stream.Collectors;

public class Main {

    public interface Pair<T,M> extends Comparable<Pair<T,M>> {
        T getFirst();
        M getSecond();
    }

    public static class MatchingPairs implements Pair<Integer, Integer> {

        private final Integer first;
        private final Integer second;

        public MatchingPairs(int first, int second) {
            this.first = first;
            this.second = second;
        }

        @Override
        public Integer getFirst() {
            return first;
        }

        @Override
        public Integer getSecond() {
            return second;
        }

        /**
         * Returns 0 if both first and second are equal in this and the other object
         * Returns 1 if both first and second are greater in this object ('this' is greater than 'other')
         * Otherwise return -1 ('this' is less than 'other')
         */
        @Override
        public int compareTo(@NotNull Pair<Integer, Integer> other) {
            int cf = this.getFirst().compareTo(other.getFirst());
            int cs = this.getSecond().compareTo(other.getSecond());
            if (cf == 0 && cs == 0) {
                return 0;
            } else if (cf > 0 && cs > 0) {
                return 1;
            }
            return -1;
        }

        @Override
        public String toString() {
            return "MatchingPairs{first=" + first + ", second=" + second + '}';
        }
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        List<MatchingPairs> pairs = List.of(new MatchingPairs(2,3), new MatchingPairs(1,2), new MatchingPairs(1,1));
        MatchingPairs find = new MatchingPairs(1, 2);
        // collect all pairs that are greater than 'find'
        List<MatchingPairs> matching = pairs.stream()
                .filter(mp -> mp.compareTo(find) > 0)
                .collect(Collectors.toList());

}

The exact implementation of the compareTo method may be different for you, as you did not specify the exact behaviour that you are trying to implement.
In the main method we create a list of MatchingPairs and then collect all the MatchingPairs from this list that are greater than a specified instance of MatchingPairs.
