Final Fantasy XIII stands out from the pack!
I have been wondering for a while why there is such a mix of reviews for this game and I honestly believe that with Final Fantasy being a long established series, there are those that will get angry with any changes that may happen. So i took it upon myself to give this game a try. I am not a die hard FF fan but i have played a few including the critically acclaimed FF7. With that said this is one of if not THE best in the series and here is why.
Ah yes, what jrpgs and this series is known for and this installment delivers on story. Without giving too much away, on Cocoon, a small floating planet in the sky, the main characters gain powers from a god-like beast called a F'alcie that happens to originate from the world below: Pulse. Years ago both Pulse and Cocoon were in a great war trying to destroy one another.
As the main characters powers stem from Pulse, the Cocoon government fears they will unleash their powers and destroy their home. People fear Pulse and for the greater good, the Cocoon government wants you dead.
What unfolds is a brilliant story that is very obvious was not thought of overnight. Enhancing the story is the "Datalog" which leads you read some back-story or get further information on current events.
Furthermore, all dialogue is voice acted. And yes they delivered. Each characters voice matches wonderfully with their characters and the acting is superb
(minus one villains voice actor in a scene figuring out what color code means what - Code red? no wait or is it code purple? What about blue?).
The story unfolds very much like a soap opera and an extremely entertaining and enthralling one at that. It is definitely geared more toward mature gamers, so those who have no emotions or are extremely childish or immature may not like it as much, but what has been written is truly amazing. The character development in this game is really good, rarely have i liked a cast this much Lighting and Sazh are just awesome.
Music & Sound:
The Final Fantasy series always shines here and this installment is no exception. The music whether it be field music or battle music is all superb. The only complaint I really had was the main theme on the title screen is used a LOT in the game. Many different renditions of it but I wish it wasn't repeated as much. However, each rendition is beautiful and fits the story at that point so its not a terrible thing.
The battle themes are great too. The main theme is fun and upbeat with some killer violin thrown in. Later on you get a few more battle songs as well depending on the location and they are all awesome.
All I can say is WOW! The graphics are fantastic. The detail in everything is phenomenal right down to the character's locks of hair. It can be hard to tell when your watching a pre rendered scene or not. Each chapter has one basic look depending on the environment so the world around you can get boring at times, but it still looks great.
Ok so the Linearity complaint. Sure it's linear to a certain point. However, It's still an amazing game.
The Linearity complaint is overused and is only valid if this game were boring and NEEDED more freedom. But the game flows so well that this really is a non-issue.
You will have great fun. The longer you play, the better it gets. And it starts out REALLY good. You don't need to get halfway through to enjoy it.
The way this game flows from battle, to scene, to cinematic cut-scenes all flow in such a way where you will not think to yourself "OMG THIS IS TOO LINEAR I WANT TO GO WHEREVER I WANT!"
You will just continue plowing through and getting more and more into the story and game.
Combat here is done superbly. Some say with auto-battle that the fun is ruined. To those who say this.....well don't use auto-battle!
To all others....the battle system is addictive as hell even using auto-battle.
Let's look at Final Fantasy 7's battle system. You control your characters. Move the cursor up or down and hit X to select attack, magic, defend, or item. Once doing so you pick the skill you want or item.
Here you control your main character, move the cursor up or down for auto-battle, class skills to use, techniques, or items and hit X.
Oh wait....its the same......Except here you can use auto-battle which generally uses (but not always) the best attacks for an enemy if you have identified its weaknesses.
And one more thing.....you can (and must) change your classes during battle! By hitting L1, you can access up to six groups of three classes you select before battle. Each class has different skills so you must chose what classes you need at the right moment....or you are dead.
In actuality, this makes the battle system here more advanced than any previous Final Fantasy game. This is because you MUST think on your feat, and you benefit from having the right classes. So you actually have more options than Final Fantasy 7 or 8 .... or any other in the series.
The battle system here is addictive as hell and this is by far the most difficult Final Fantasy game there is. Although in later chapters you can grind and actually make the main game pretty easy, those that don't grind will see how much more difficult this is than any other in the main series.
And of course there are bosses harder than the final boss! Some secret hunts will have you ripping your hair out until you become beastly strong and most of these you can't kill until you beat the game and unlock level 10 of the crystarium.
Speaking of the crystarium.....think Sphere Grid from 10. Except you can't delete nodes. It's an alright system. Not the best but each character has their own specific skills and stats so there will be times that its best to have a certain character in your team.
Final Verdict: BUY IT!
It took me a little over 60 hours to complete this game. So in terms of length FF13 delivers and its a fun ride all the way through. As for post game features you can complete 64 missions which consist of defeating strong monsters and even some STRONG, HUGE, and HARD monsters. In my opinion this is one of the greatest Final Fantasy's out there. The battle system is the most fun of any that I have played. It is fast paced like most other games these days and keeps you on your toes. The music is beautiful and the graphics even more so. The strong characters and major character development also enriches this epic adventure.
Let us know what you think and don't be a jimmy.

The item Ash Mistry and the world of darkness, Sarwat Chadda represents a specific, individual, material embodiment of a distinct intellectual or artistic creation found in London Borough of Hammersmith & Fulham Libraries.
Ash Mistry is in a world of pain. A parallel world in fact, where another version of him seems to be living his life, and the evil Lord Savage - now all-powerful and adored by the nation - is about to carry out a terrible plan. Worse still, Ash's superpowers, invested in him by the Death Goddess Kali, seem no longer to be working. Without Kali, can Ash defeat Savage and save the world?

Q: how to select 2 select statments in VBA scripts in the below VBA I have one select statments with one table but I want multiple select statements results need to capture in excel.
Sub extract()

    'usedrows = Sheets("Batch_Creation").Range("A" & Sheets("Batch_Creation").Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
    'MsgBox usedrows

    Dim cn As Object
    Dim uid1, pass1, srvrnm
    Set cn = CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
    Dim rs As Object
    Set rs = CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")

    Dim cmdSQLData As Object
    Set cmdSQLData = CreateObject("ADODB.Command")
    uid1 = "XXXXX"
    pass1 = "XXXXX"
    srvrnm = "XXXXX"

    On Error GoTo err1
    cn.Open "Driver=Teradata; DBCName=" & srvrnm & ";uid=" & uid1 & ";AUTHENTICATION=ldap;pwd=" & pass1 & "; Trusted_Connection=True"

    Set cmdSQLData.ActiveConnection = cn
    'MsgBox ("1")
    On Error Resume Next
 query1 = "select top 20 * from DBC.TABLES;"   ---first select statements
query2 = "select count(*) from DBC.TABLES;"   ---2nd  select statements
query3 = "select * from DBC.TABLES where columnname="santosh";"   ---3rd  select statements
    'MsgBox query1

        cmdSQLData.CommandText = query1
        cmdSQLData.CommandTimeout = 0
        Set rs = cmdSQLData.Execute()

    Dim r As Integer 'Row
    Dim c As Integer 'Column

    For c = 0 To rs.Fields.Count - 1
        'This will start on Row 1, Column A (due to + 1) and place all the field headers
        Sheet1.Cells(1, c + 1).Value = rs.Fields(c).Name
    Next c
    r = 2 'We'll start on Row 3
    Do While Not rs.EOF
        For c = 0 To rs.Fields.Count - 1
            'c + 1 means we're starting on Column 1 (A)
            'If we wanted to start in Column d, we would use c + 4
            Sheet1.Cells(r, c + 1).Value = rs.Fields(c)
        Next
        r = r + 1
        rs.MoveNext
    Loop
      Set rs = Nothing

    'Set rs = New ADODB.Recordset
    'rs.Clear

    err1:

    End Sub

How can I call multiple select statements in the above scripts
query2 = "select count(*) from DBC.TABLES;"   ---2nd  select statements
query3 = "select * from DBC.TABLES where columnname="santosh";"   ---3rd

A: Is there a problem using a recordset for each query?
rs1 for query1
rs2 for query2
rs3 for query3
Another way - you collect the data for your recordset via executing query1, then you do all the stuff you want (copying, pasting, ...).
Afterwards you change cmdSQLData.CommandText to query2, do all the stuff like above.
Again you change the CommandText to query3.

T3 Opinion: how Microsoft could benefit from Google's anti-trust problems
Microsoft is ready to strike deals with OEMs and posed to exploit any moment of weakness
By Max Slater-Robins 2016-05-14T08:20:00.134Z
Last month, the European Commission - a part of the European Union - accused Google of abusing its position, through Android, and forcing OEMs (Original Equipment Manufactures) and others into carrying the company's services, often unfairly.
The complaint, which can be read here, makes three points:
1. Google forced OEMs, who make Android phones, into pre-installing Google Search and the Chrome browser, which reinforces Google's dominance in online search. OEMs that fail to do this will not be given access to Google's apps.
2. Banning OEMs from selling smartphones running on "competing operating systems based on the Android open source code".
3. Offering "financial incentives" to OEMs and networks so that they will pre-install Google's services on devices.
The thrust of the case, which has not been given a fixed hearing date, is clear: Google has been abusing its power to force OEMs - and, on occasion, networks - into installing, and prioritising, Google services, like Search, Chrome, and other apps, like Maps and the Play Store.
T3 Drives: Jeep Renegade - a compact and brutally slick SUV with real off-road capabilities
One of, if not thee, key tenants of the European Commission's case is that Google will withhold the Play Store from OEMs if they do not install Android as the company made it, i.e. without modifications to the source code.
The Play Store is, in effect, the most important thing OEMs can install because it provides apps - like Snapchat, Facebook, Instagram, and so on - onto phones. Without it, there is basically no way anyone would buy an Android phone.
The European Commission is essentially alleging that Google is abusing the power it has through being a dominant provider of apps. It would seem, although I am not a lawyer, that this is a case that Google will not win.
The Play Store, along with Maps and so on, comes as part of the Google Mobile Services bundle and, to an OEM, it's virtually irreplaceable. No company that makes smartphones - not even Samsung - can successful recreate a full-on mapping applications, like Google Maps, or an app store, like the Play Store.
Amazon has tried and offers an app store on its Fire tablets, which run a "forked" version of Android, which essentially strips it off the Mobile Services bundle.
If Google loses, and OEMs are no longer compelled to include Google Mobile Services, then one big winner could emerge: Microsoft.
Treasure, tears and triumph: why you'll love Uncharted 4: A Thief's End
While no OEM can recreate what Google has, Microsoft already has a lot of it and, more importantly, is willing to share.
Last year, Microsoft signed a deal with Cyanogen, the company behind the most popular "fork" of Android, that bundled Office apps, Bing services, and Skype on its phones. For Microsoft, this was a big win as millions of new users now had access to Office; for Cyanogen, it made breaking up with Google a little easier.
If, and it is still an if, Google loses, Microsoft could rise in and strike deals with OEMs far and wide. Samsung, which makes the most popular (and profitable) Android phones, has already made a deal with Microsoft to bundle Office, and that could easily extend further.
Microsoft is the winner in this situation because it wants people to use its apps on phones, especially as less and less people do on a PC. Bing, for example, only gets better as more people use it and a big OEM switching from Google to Bing would increase what is already a pretty decent business.
Of course, there are caveats: Google could still beat the anti-trust case and Microsoft may prove unwilling to do deals with OEMs, even if it were able to. Microsoft also does not have the app store element nailedand that could prove a stumbling block.
But, even though the company has vowed to stop fighting Google, the benefits of this case may fall right into its lap.

So, after seven weeks of Working From Home (WFH), it seems some changes might be appearing on the horizon; well only if you live in England and only if you can't WFH. We were told that we were all in this together, but now it seems that there are several different routes out of lockdown, with England going down one road and the rest of the UK travelling down alternative paths.
Employee Benefits Consultant (Healthcare)
Let's make one thing clear at the start: this article isn't political and isn't meant to criticise any specific politician/political point of view or indeed undermine politicians in general. But to quote Tom Peters, 'If you're not confused, you're not paying attention'.¹
Thinking back to the start of this [lockdown] 'adventure', I have largely been focusing on the workers who are WFH, but the lockdown has split the working population of the UK into four distinct groups:
Key workers: Doctors, nurses, NHS staff, care-workers, refuse collectors, postal service, supermarket workers and others. For almost all these workers the COVID-19 crisis hasn't stopped them going out to work. In many cases it has changed working patterns and it may have significantly increased workloads.
Furloughed: Employees who can't easily work from home – retail staff, manufacturing, hospitality sector. In these situations, employees aren't able to work remotely and in most cases their employer has 'mothballed'/closed the business or almost all the business.
Those with no work/self-employed: A growing number of employees have found that the crisis has resulted in them becoming unemployed. In addition, there are those people who are self-employed (for example hairdressers) who have found themselves unable to work because of the lockdown.
Working From Home: Employees who are still working but have relocated their workplace to their home location.
Each of these groups of workers has had to deal with a set of new and stressful situations. In previous articles we have discussed how those WFH might be confronted with sleep issues, loneliness, 'Zoom fatigue' and a variety of other issues, but what about the rest of the workforce?
Lumping all the key workers together is rather difficult – the challenges facing a consultant oncologist and supermarket delivery driver are bound to be very different. But there are some common issues to consider for all key workers: increased workloads and restricted resources; personal safety – they are being asked daily to risk being infected while the majority of the population stays safe at home; and family safety – the potential of carrying the virus back home to vulnerable loved ones. As a result, there is a significant risk of increased levels of burnout and mental health issues due to stress and anxiety.
Those who have been laid off and the self-employed who can't work are likely to have significant issues around finance and making ends meet. Government welfare provides some 'safety net' benefits, but these don't really allow for longer-term financial planning and stability. The stress of financial insecurity can be crushing, especially when trying to provide for dependants and when there is no prospect of a light at the end of the tunnel. The strain of financial worries, coupled with issues around feelings of failure/self-worth and inactivity/boredom, will have a significant impact on both mental and physical health.
Finally, furloughed workers. These employees are receiving at least 80% of their pay but aren't allowed to work. Although immediate financial issues might not be significant, there will be worries around job security and longer-term stability. In addition, not being able to work and having limited access to 'activity' will impact on mental health.
Four very different groups but clearly, despite the differences, each is coming under increased stress and mental health issues because of lockdown. Although we appear to be over the peak there is still some way to go and, unfortunately, it's the 'road-map' out of lockdown that is likely to add to the stress and mental health issues going forward.
The majority of the UK working population wants to get back to normal working as soon (and as safely) as possible. The divergence of approach by the home countries and the confusion around UK Government advice is adding to the general levels of anxiety at the very time when, after seven weeks of lockdown, personal resilience has been considerably tested.
Keeping healthy in the current situation
The increased stress of living through the COVID-19 crisis is affecting everyone's mental health. The level of confusion around staying at home or going to work is adding to the problem. Some people are naturally more resilient to stress and anxiety than others, but we can all follow some simple guidelines that might help:
Be kind to yourself and to others. Try to be patient and keep a positive outlook. This will help both you and the people you come into contact with (subject to social distancing).
Try to focus on the things you can control and ignore the issues you don't have an influence over.
Don't spend too much time digesting the news. The rolling 24-hour news stations have to fill time even when there is nothing new to talk about. This results in a considerable amount of 'filler' and speculation from commentators who may or may not be experts in their field.
Accept that although the current financial situation might look bleak, there are always solutions available to help you manage debt and money worries – resources such as Citizens Advice, The Money Advice Service (part of the Money and Pensions Service) and The Money Saving Expert are there to help if required.
Focus on the important things in your life – friends, family, relationships.

Takeda, Japan's largest pharmaceutical company, has awarded individual grants of approximately A$100,000 to four Australian research programs as part of its COCKPI-T open innovation program.
The program is designed to support Australian research projects with the aim of advancing therapeutic targets and technologies in drug discovery. It funds early-stage research proposals related to therapeutic targets and technologies for drug discovery in neuroscience, oncology, gastroenterology and regenerative medicine.
As well as receiving individual grants, the candidates, who were selected from more than 60 applicants, are eligible for in-kind support from Takeda personnel.
'Takeda is pleased to be able to support and encourage high-quality Australian research through investment in these early-stage programs at various universities,' says James Jones, Managing Director of Takeda Australia in Biotech Dispatch.
'The COCKPI-T Australia 2018 program attracted many excellent applications across the therapeutic areas that Takeda focuses on, reaffirming Australia's strong reputation in innovative academic and clinical research.

Tonbridge is a town in Kent, in the south east of England. It is situated between Seven Oaks to the north and Tunbridge Wells to the south.
Our independent price comparison engine can compare van hire prices in Tonbridge to help you find the cheapest van rental deal out there.
Only 25 miles south-east of London, the old market town of Tonbridge is extremely close to the M25 motorway and has good road connections to Hastings and Brighton. The town has a population of more than 30,000 people - thanks in part to its commuter-friendly rail links to Hastings, Ashford and London, which is only 25 miles away.
During the 18th and 19th centuries Tonbridge and Tunbridge Wells became well known for their objects of Tunbridge ware. These finely decorated pieces of inlaid woodwork were often bought by tourists visiting the spa town of Tunbridge Wells. A more popular attraction in today's Tonbridge is Tonbridge Castle. Considered to have one of the finest motte-and-bailey gatehouses in the UK, this 900-year old castle has seen some of the most dramatic events in British history.

Audi could have just started an automotive revolution
At Walton Bridge Garage, the smell of petrol and oil is what gets us up in the morning. However that could soon all change thanks to Audi.
As solar, wind and water power start to become more common place as a source of alternative energy, the motor industry has very much looked towards electricity as an alternative fuel source.
A number of car manufacturers from Toyota to BMW already have electric hybrid models on the road, but they're a far cry from the electric powered hover cars depicted in futuristic film landscapes such as Demolition Man and more recently the renewed Total Recall.
Electric powered cars have had their teething problems and, some will hope they're not the future of the motor industry. The love of cars isn't necessarily about speed, it can for the large part be about the sound and the smell of an engine ticking over. But like the rest of the world we all have a responsibility to care for and maintain our environment, something motor cars and the fuel they run on don't.
This could all be about to change as Audi announce the creation of a synthetic fuel, done so without the use of petrol. It's called e-benzin and not only does it lack petroleum but also contains no sulphur and benzene. The result? It burns very cleanly and the higher compression ratio on the engine also means an increase in fuel efficiency.
This latest announcement builds on Audi's e-fuel strategy with their soon to come e-diesel and e-ethanol synthetic fuels, designed for use on an industrial scale. Testing of e-benzin should start within months and the intention is to modify the fuel so that it can be created purely from water, hydrogen, C02 and sunlight.
There's no telling at this early stage if e-benzin will be a success or not. But should it stand up to Audi's scientific testing regime it could replace petrol as a fuel completely, dramatically changing the face of the motor industry in the process. Audi could begin to produce more of the fuel as early as 2016, so the auto-mobile revolution could be closer than we think.

This is an iconic roundabout in Juba topped by a historical monument: the milestone indicating the distances to regional capitals that was put in place by the colonial regime in the first years of the city. It features on a photograph dating back to 1928, where we can distinguish, in the back, the Muderia (the Governor's Office), still in use today by the Governor of Jubek Sate.
Among other buildings constructed here in the early life of the colonial city, the Juba Hotel has been almost entirely demolished in 2010, despite its historical significance. On the side of the road going north, towards the airport, one can still distinguish the words "Juba Hotel" written in cracked letters on an old sign. The somewhat legendary, yet little known Juba Hotel used to host visitors passing through the region, and it is believed that Queen Elizabeth spent a few nights here during World War II. Only parts of the building have been preserved, including a bungalow. Years ago, in the euphoria created by South Sudan's independence, flashy posters were announcing the construction of a brand new complex, Juba Dream Hotel, on the site. They have since been washed away by the rain. The plot is bushy and looks abandoned.
To the south of the roundabout a road leads to the Juba Teaching Hospital, established in the 1940s.
The Anglo-Egyptian colonial authorities chose Juba as a regional headquarters from around 1921, and developed the city in collaboration with foreign merchants, such as Greeks, Lebanese, Syrians, Cypriots and northern Sudanese Arabs.
Note: the black and white, archival photographic material shows areal views of Juba and the offloading of a boat in 1928, as well as the milestone and Muderia roundabout. Courtesy of Durham University.


I recently watched a video from Natural Hair Vlogger Melshary in which she stated that "natural hair is as expensive and as inexpensive as you make it". This quote prompted me to write this article as I get several messages weekly from naturals and newly naturals who complain about natural hair products being expensive. Here are a few reasons why natural hair can become expensive.
When I get messages from my followers stating that they've just went natural and they want to know what natural hair products I recommend, my first response is always "what products do you already have?". Many newly naturals think that they have to buy all new products when they decide to forgo the relaxer in the hope that these products will help to achieve certain styles or provide hair growth. One can actually use the same products that they used on their relaxed hair for their natural hair.
The stigma about relaxed hair products is that they are low quality and is the reason why many people did not see length retention while on the creamy crack. However, it is most likely that one was either relaxing their hair incorrectly or did not have a regimen that supported their hair needs. If one does not have general knowledge of hair health, then buying the "best darn curl cream" or "biotin infused conditioner" will be done in vain. It is not about the type of products that you use-though some work better than others-it is about how one effectively incorporate them into their regimen.
I see this often when I watch natural hair tutorials on Youtube. I've seen a twist and curl tutorial in which seven products were used. Seven. It can be easy to be overwhelmed and discouraged as a new natural looking to learn more about natural hair. Sometimes we over-do it with the product, I am definitely guilty of that.
Natural hair products are relatively expensive because they are made with mostly natural ingredients. Sometimes, the price determines how concentrated a product is. You may not need to use as much product that is $20 versus one that is $10. For instance, I love the As I Am Coil Defining Jelly, but was getting frustrated with the little amount of product that I was getting for the expensive price. When I would style my hair, I used just as much jelly as I did when using the Eco-Styler Gel which is a fraction of the price. The more that I used the jelly, I realized that a little (very little) goes a long way. I am spending a bit more, but I am getting more use and better results with the jelly than with the cheaper gel.
The Cherry Lola Method, the Max Hydration Method, the LOCO Method, this list can go on and on. We oftentimes get so caught up in these new techniques that we forget about basic hair care. Trying out new techniques often can become expensive. There is always going to be a new technique that promises better hair, especially with the growth of the Natural Hair Community. Most of the time, a consistent basic hair care regimen will help to solve most of your hair problems.
I write this article in hopes that it will encourage people to learn more about the science of their hair and to stop putting the blame on natural hair out of ignorance. Ultimately, you have control of how expensive you allow your natural hair to be and it all starts with knowledge.
How do you make natural hair affordable? Chime in below.
I thnk there will be an expensive at first but once you figure out what your hair likes and dislikes, the cost goes down tremendously. No more trial and error. No more experimenting to keep up with the Jonses. Bottom line, do what works for your hair.
Yes! I totally agree. Thanks for commenting hun!
When I first started out on my healthy hair journey, I purchased everything and had no money for fun stuff (sad day). The issue was that I was not consistent with anything. So I cut a lot of products down by purchasing the main ones: clarifier (ACV), co wash (Trader Joe's Condish), leave-in (Shea Moisture Yucca Milk), and oil (coconut oil). These products helped me to perfect my hair care regimen techinque. I feel any products can be used for healthy hair, but the technique of caring for your hair helps your hair to be healthy. Hair care does not have to be expensive as some people make it out to be.
Yes exactly!! Technique does make a huge difference. A lot of us get caught up on finding the perfect product. One can have the best product in the world, but it's pointless if they don't know how/when to use it. Thanks for reading and commenting!
Hey fellow BLM Girl! 🙂 Just leaving my hair alone works well for me too. It thrives so much better than when I'm constantly doing stuff to it. Thank for visiting!!!

Smith v. Smith et al, No. 4:2012cv02042 - Document 7 (E.D. Mo. 2012)
Court Description: OPINION, MEMORANDUM, AND ORDER: IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that plaintiff's motion to proceed in forma pauperis [Doc. # 3 ] is GRANTED. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that this action is DISMISSED without prejudice. See 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B). IT IS F URTHER ORDERED that plaintiff's motion for appointment of counsel [Doc. # 4 ] and motion for temporary restraining order [Doc. # 5 ] are DENIED as moot.A separate Order of Dismissal shall accompany this Memorandum and Order. Signed by District Judge Henry E. Autrey on 11/5/12. (TRC)
UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT EASTERN DISTRICT OF MISSOURI EASTERN DIVISION JOHN J. SMITH, Plaintiff, v. LORA JANE SMITH, et al., Defendants. ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) No. 4:12CV2042 HEA OPINION, MEMORANDUM AND ORDER This matter is before the Court upon the motion of John J. Smith for leave to commence this action without prepayment of the filing fee pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915. Upon consideration of the financial information provided with the motion, the Court finds that plaintiff is financially unable to pay any portion of the filing fee. As a result, plaintiff will be granted leave to proceed in forma pauperis pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915. Additionally, the Court has reviewed the complaint and will dismiss this action pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B). 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e) Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B), the Court must dismiss a complaint filed in forma pauperis if the action is frivolous, malicious, fails to state a claim upon which relief can be granted, or seeks monetary relief from a defendant who is immune from such relief. An action is frivolous if it lacks an arguable basis in either law or fact. Neitzke v. Williams, 490 U.S. 319, 328 (1989); Denton v. Hernandez, 504 U.S. 25, 31 (1992). An action is malicious if it is undertaken for the purpose of harassing the named defendants and not for the purpose of vindicating a cognizable right. Spencer v. Rhodes, 656 F. Supp. 458, 461-63 (E.D.N.C. 1987), aff d 826 F.2d 1059 (4th Cir. 1987). A complaint fails to state a claim if it does not plead enough facts to state a claim to relief that is plausible on its face. Bell Atlantic Corp. v. Twombly, 550 U.S. 544, 570 (2007). The Complaint Plaintiff brings this action for monetary and injunctive relief pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. The named defendants are Lora Jane Smith (plaintiff's ex-wife), David D. Howard (Attorney), Michael Todt (Attorney), Karl Demarce (Missouri "Special Judge"), and David Tobben (Missouri "Special Judge"). Plaintiff alleges that Howard and Todt represent Lora Smith in a family court dispute, Smith v. Smith, 0511-FC03508 (11th Cir. Court). Plaintiff states that Judge Demarce found plaintiff to be in contempt of an alleged "void Judgment and Decree of Dissolution," resulting in plaintiff's brief incarceration. Plaintiff complains that he has filed several motions in the case, which Judge Tobben has not yet ruled. Plaintiff believes that Judge Tobben is denying his due process rights by not promptly ruling the motions. -2- Plaintiff claims that Judge Tobben also entered an order garnishing his social security checks. Plaintiff requests that this Court intervene in the state court action and reverse the garnishment of his wages. Plaintiff also seeks a temporary restraining order "directing that Lora J. Smith pay into Court the monthly garnishment of [his] social security wages in the amount of $650." Discussion To state a § 1983 claim, a plaintiff must first establish that a person acting under color of state law committed actions which form the basis of the complaint. See, e.g., Parratt v. Taylor, 451 U.S. 527, 535 (1981), overruled on other grounds, Daniels v. Williams, 474 U.S. 327, 328 (1986). Lora Jane Smith, David Howard, and Michael Todt are not state actors within the meaning of § 1983, and therefore, the complaint will be dismissed as legally frivolous as to these defendants. The complaint is also legally frivolous as to defendants Karl Demarce and David Tobben, because judges are immune from liability for damages under § 1983 where, as here, the alleged wrongdoings were performed within their judicial capacity. See Stump v. Sparkman, 435 U.S. 349, 356-57 (1978)(judge immune from liability for damages under §1983 where alleged wrongdoings were performed within judicial capacity). -3- Moreover, to the extent that plaintiff is now seeking review, or enforcement, of a Missouri state-court judgment, his remedies lie not in federal district court, but rather, with the Missouri state courts or the United States Supreme Court. Federal district courts are courts of original jurisdiction; they lack subject matter jurisdiction to engage in appellate review of state court decisions. Postma v. First Fed. Sav. & Loan, 74 F.3d 160, 162 (8th Cir. 1996). Federal review of state court decisions may be had only in the Supreme Court. Id. Last, the Court notes that, pursuant to the "domestic relations exception," federal courts are divested of jurisdiction over any action in which the subject is a divorce, allowance of alimony, or child custody. See Kahn v. Kahn, 21 F.3d 859, 861 (8th Cir. 1994). In addition, when a cause of action closely relates to, but does not precisely fit into, the contours of an action for divorce, alimony, or child custody, federal courts generally will abstain from exercising jurisdiction. Id. Although plaintiff's claims are drafted to sound in constitutional law, a review of them indicates that they are either directly related to or are so interwoven with his divorce proceedings that subject matter jurisdiction does not lie with this Court. If the Court took jurisdiction over this action, it would needlessly entangle itself in a state court divorce proceeding from which it must abstain. The state court in which these proceedings lie is better equipped to handle the issues that have arisen. -4- Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that plaintiff s motion to proceed in forma pauperis [Doc. #3] is GRANTED. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that this action is DISMISSED without prejudice. See 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B). IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that plaintiff s motion for appointment of counsel [Doc. #4] and motion for temporary restraining order [Doc. #5] are DENIED as moot. A separate Order of Dismissal shall accompany this Memorandum and Order. Dated this 5th day of November, 2012. HENRY EDWARD AUTERY UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE -5-

Side Bar: What a year
I don't even know where to start. This year was just beyond and I know I'm not sharing any huge revelation here because we've all been through it, but I do want to take a moment to just acknowledge what occurred. At the beginning of 2020, I was six months into my new job in local govt and to put it plainly—I was ex-haust-ed! The pace of the work was a huge jolt to my system. And while I felt like I finally was getting it, I was still barely home and barely sleeping. Additionally, there were constant threats that ICE could descend at a moment's notice—remember when they threatened…

To Be or Not to Be: The Problem With Gender Roles & Sexism in the Courtroom
I just finished reading two articles that I recommend people read about women litigators and issues they face at work. One is from The Atlantic and the other is a response in the ABA Journal. Each article tackles how women, who make up a dismal percentage of lead counsel/first chairs in trials, can push back against sexism in the courtroom to win for their client. The article in The Atlantic, written by Lara Bazelon–a former Federal Public Defender and Clinical Professor, suggests that women face such systemic sexism in every area of the courtroom that it behooves us to abide by gender roles so that we're not seen as too…

What Beyonce Teaches Us About Power
August 8, 2018 /
Have you heard the Good News? Beyonce is on the cover of Vogue, September Edition. Not only that, she discusses so much of her private life that makes me love her even more. Not only that, but she had complete control and decided to use that control to hire a relatively unknown young, Black photographer to shoot the cover. The first black photographer in the magazine's entire history (embarrassing). Beyonce said: If people in powerful positions continue to hire and cast only people who look like them, sound like them, come from the same neighborhoods they grew up in, they will never have a greater understanding of experiences different from…

I have one month of supervision under my belt and now that we're "fully" staffed I finally feel like I'm not drowning. Being a supervisor hasn't had a lot of changes–some extra meetings, and more consultations than ever before but not much else has changed. I did realize that how I approached being an attorney has to be different than how I manage. Most attorney jobs are very solo-work dependent. I'm used to doing my work and calling it a day, but I'm really aware now that I have a other…

Everything can feel so overwhelming right now with what's happening in the news. It can feel like a useless endeavor to study for the bar when so much chaos is happening at that border and in our communities.

Open Letter to "Mediocre" Latinx Students: Go Where You're Not Wanted
Yesterday, I saw the article on WaPo about the University of Maryland professor who accidentally sent an email to his mock trial class that included a coach's (the prof's daughter) remarks on the students who had tried out and her concern about whether or not to include the Latino students for the sake of diversity even though she thought they all performed poorly and that the best one was "mediocre." I read that article and it was gut-wrenching.

It was clear in the fall-out from the reduction in the numbers of students gaining university entrance in the recent round of NCEA results that the changes to the rules were driven by several principles that are of themselves quite worthy.
The first is that students should study a narrower range of subjects in order to know more. Or put another way, knowledge is gained vertically rather than horizontally. It is clear that the universities have believed this right from the very introduction of a standards-based assessment system when the move towards credits was described as the process by which knowledge had been turned into intellectual finger food!
That was not entirely true but there may have been a whiff of truth in it. Certainly depth of knowledge was thought to be in danger when students were given the opportunity to study subjects that are outside of the standard academic canon.
The second principle is that there should be a set of approved subjects that would be acceptable in making up the university entrance qualification. The existence of such an academic canon was the result of hundreds of years of development of universities as places of privilege and so certain subjects were also privileged. Such a list of privileged subjects was promulgated by the University Grants Committee and indeed even School Certificate maintained that privilege by on the one hand pretending to be norm-referenced while on the other using a procedure called "group mean referencing" whereby subjects undertaken by "brighter" students were scaled to a produce a higher set of results.
Now the education system has, some time ago, debated what real subjects were. "Twilight Golf" never made the cut, meditation had no observable actions that could be assessed, and language CDs handed out in cafes were thought to have had too few demands on the students. No complaint about all that.
But the firm grip that such views have enjoyed has seen a distortion on what was valued in terms of pathways to an education and to later success. Gradually only the track to university was valued in the school system and the capability and capacity of schools to provide programmes in areas that would grab the attention of young students was allowed to atrophy. The bog standard "academic" diet was going to nourish all the students.
When now there is a call for students to have the opportunity to study subjects based on applied learning and to specialize in technical areas that require skill and knowledge in greater depth in order to pursue fulfilling and useful lives in the community, that the argument is put forward that what students need is a broad and general education.
The MIT Centre for Studies in Multiple Pathways in partnership with Ako Aotearoa has just finished its fourth annual National Symposium in Wellington. Over 200 educators gathered to continue their journey along Te Ara Whakamana, considering possible pathways, transitions and bridges from secondary education into tertiary education.
Flashback to Manukau Institute of Technology (MIT) in 2011 when the first gathering was held at MIT and 120 people got together to ask tentative questions related to the "new" policy setting of the "Youth Guarantee", the approach to the new proposals for a more orderly view of NCEA credit that the Industry Training Federation had developed and called "Vocational Pathways". The first secondary / tertiary programme in New Zealand, the MIT Tertiary High School, was up and running into its second year, and various academy programmes had started up.
MIT has established the Centre for Studies in Multiple Pathways to be a centre of excellence for discussion, development and advocacy of the ideas that would allow students to find new and different ways of moving seamlessly through secondary and on into tertiary education and training.
In particular, the initiatives were aimed at addressing the dysfunctional approaches to senior secondary schooling that saw too many students fail to achieve educational outcomes of which we could be proud and, to not put too fine a point on it, which were acceptable to a high-performing economy. And this in addition to the numbers of students that were dropping out of school prior to approaching the threshold for secondary education.
So the 2014 Symposium was a very different affair. Policy is in place, there was very little discussion and grizzling (as there had been back in 2011) about funding other than its lack of flexibility and reports were made on a wide range of successful new ways of working that were bringing success to some of those who had previously failed or perhaps more correctly, been failed.
It is possible to do something about what seem to be intractable problems. They took the dirty statistic of NEETs in Canterbury and by elimination reduced the numbers to produce a list of names. "From numbers to names to action" has been a call for action by Minister Hekia Parata for some time. The Key benefit of such an approach is that it gets the scale of an issue out into the light and able to be tackled.
They showed that you manage transitions by doing something about them. Organizing the employment sector (manufacturing in this case) was a first step and then connecting that sector to those coming out of training programmes plugged the gaps.
There is a high level of connected activity, one party addresses the issue of another party by adjusting the way they work. It is collaboration in practice.
An idea that intrigued was the development of a Destinations passport that gave students a mechanism for systematically noting the ways in which they had developed the so-called soft skills that employers sought. No need to wait for schools to act, allow the students to use their real lives!
There is a strong focus on evidence-based activity.
Trevor McIntyre leads much of this work and he issued a challenge to those present. What is your earthquake? Certainly there are many things that need a good shake up.
Steve Jobs always claimed that "the journey is the reward." There is a group of educators in New Zealand that grows larger steadily that is on a journey to a place where students have access to equitable outcomes. Dr. Peter Coolbear, director of Ako Aotearoa, invited the symposium to consider the impact of the changes that were being discussed. In the four years since the symposium started, 14,000 students have engaged in a pathway that is different from a conventional track through the conventional school.
I noted, in bringing the deliberations to a close, that a wide-spread adoption of a "multiple pathways" approach ("linked learning" it is being called in the US) could well be the means by which we address the issues of the bipolar education system and see equity matching achievement in our school system's performance.
Just back from Australia and it is interesting how such a visit brings perspective to issues and topics of interest.
I have been feeling for some time now that things are about to change, especially in the Anglo-Saxon countries which for 50 years have by and large got a lot wrong in education.
· the need for reconsideration of current sector organization models of the education systems which are increasingly seen as a troubling block to lifting achievement.
Each of the Anglo-Saxon educations systems is now seeing an increase in the numbers of students gaining earlier access to career and technical education. The pathways schools in Canada, the university technical colleges in the UK, many academy / charter schools in the USA, initiatives in Australia and, of course, the youth guarantee stable of secondary/tertiary programmes in New Zealand are each examples of how the integration of sound and continuing academic preparation can not only be combined with but is in fact enhanced by a closer focus on postsecondary qualifications in career and technical areas at a younger age.
The Anglo-Saxons simply have to come clean – the experiment of comprehensive high schools proved to be neither comprehensive nor very successful. The result was a set of educational and employment outcomes that were inferior to those achieved by the schools they replaced. I think I want to reject the view that the development of the comprehensive high schools were essentially based on snobbery – Germany had a dual system of both academic and technical tracks, we beat them in the war, so the American Dream was born – college for all, equity of access to top universities and so on. Well it never happened. Schools lost their variety, pathways disappeared and the so-called academic university-bound track became dominant. Good for those it suited and always had, disastrous for the rest.
But it is not simply a return to what used to be offered to students in a diverse set of schooling options – academic, general, technical, commercial and other tracks which defined outcomes at the outset of secondary education. The new and refreshed approach is one of multiple pathways that are both academic and vocational, which have flexibility, which provide a clear direction with different people delivering programmes in different places and with multiple purposes for learning. So talking the old industrial arts facilities and programmes and organisation out of mothballs won't be sufficient.
This development in no way undervalues the university-bound pathway – this pathway is also both academic and vocational for many. There is though likely to be a competition for resources as the performance of the education system encourages funders to see that a more equitable spread of funding is a good and necessary investment. This emerged a little in Australia last week. In working to "real identifiable work" the schools will be required to find a new level of flexibility.
"Our kids need to know trades and training are first class career options just like university – they shouldn't be made to feel like they're playing on the 'B Team' " says Aussie Federal Asst Minister for Education Sussan Ley. She also sees the need for schools to be more flexible in programme delivery allowing for "real work experience" – the challenge as to what constitutes "being at school" and the "school day" are in the wings and yet to come.
That leads to the third issue – the challenges to the sector organization of schooling. The Catholic education system in Australia is getting ready to shift Year 7 (the equivalent of our Year 8) up to secondary schools in order to provide for a transition that comes at a better spot in the students' pathway, allowing for a more coherent "junior" high school and therefore opening the way for increased flexibility in the "senior" secondary school.
It is still my view that New Zealand should be seriously discussing the benefits and issues of placing the senior high school (i.e. Years 11-13) into the tertiary sector – now there's a big topic. Such a shift would allow New Zealand to consider the features of education systems that we admire and give to them a New Zealand flavor.
Are the times a'changin'? If they are then lets hope for more than hugs and bean bags this time round.
There might be more than meets the eye!
Then dark clouds rolled in – we had a skills shortage, we had a mismatch between the labour market and the supply line from education providers. We had a growing sense of unease at the indicators that pointed to something of a perfect storm where Salt's demographic faultline rumbled at the same time as the GFC (i.e. a recession for those not into TLAs) took hold.
There then developed a set of sideshows that risked turning education into something akin to a vaudeville show. Student / teacher ratios led the charge, then there was Novopay, then there was push back in Christchurch at offers of support to look at working in other ways that some other parts of the country might have welcomed (without, of course, the earthquakes that provoked them).
Meanwhile, without a fuss, the world had started to change. New programmes appeared that were more closely aligned to employment. Students started to move into these programmes at a younger age. No longer was a 15-19 year old faced with a single choice – stay in school – but was able to consider pathways through different kinds of institutions and face having not just what used to be thought of as a school leaving qualification (NCEA) but with a set of qualifications, NCEA and a technical qualification, employment ready at about the time the rest were heading off to university to start the journey.
In short, we are at a time when the education scene is changing for 15 – 19 year olds and the conventional senior secondary school is slowly being moved sideways to take its place alongside other pathways. Some of the developments are highly visible (the Tertiary High school, Youth Guarantee fees free places) while others are less obvious retaining a little of the look of school (trades academies for instance).
I am told that by 2015, there will be about 17,500 young people (15-19 year olds) who will be pursuing their education in a place other than a school – ITPs, wananga, PTEs would account for most of them I imagine. This is something of a silent revolution. Imagine the size of a group of 17,000 students would look like in the one place! It is quite a few empty classrooms.
That this is happening is not an argument against schools, it is simply affirmation that some young people have their life chances enhanced by continuing their schooling somethere other than a school. Don't you love the US habit of referring to "school" for pretty well all levels? One fellow said to me recently I am going back to school next semester – that was to Harvard to do a Masters degree!
So imagine my surprise when on Labour Day (consider the irony of this) I heard two news reports on the radio both urging the authorities to see that education institutions be measured by their success in getting people into employment. And they both were teacher organisations, one here in New Zealand and the other in Australia.
We have just had the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment issue a RFP calling for proposals that bring together community connection and involvement, quality trades training, involvement of ITOs in the process of moving the student through to employment, the provision of tools – this all sounds like a commitment to seamlessness, it sounds like a carefully constructed pathway. And it is interesting that the TEC and MBIE are involved with each contributing what they do best.
Is there enough happening to claim that a paradigm shift is under way? Possibly, the signs are there that we are moving away from a set of practices that have been fairly constant for thirty years. Next will come the uncertainty and then the emergence of a new way of working.
But let me put this forward as an idea. Education was pretty constant in the way it worked for a hundred years until the late 1960s and 1970s when much change happened. Tracking / streaming was bad – out it went. Industrial arts were a reflection of an age now gone – out they went. The government employed 80% of the apprentices but they sold off the industrial and service agencies that employed them – out they went. Polytechnics were invented and training shifted both in the institutions and into daylight – out went learning on the job.
It could be that the big paradigm shift really started back then, went through a time of great uncertainty (the 1990s and the 2000s) and what is happening now is the emergence of a new way of working. Now that would be exciting.
There's no "moocing" about here!
I have become a student again. Yes, I am now a student of the University of Edinburgh. This would have brought great pleasure to my Scots grandmother I am sure.
Yes, I have started my first MOOC (Massive Open Online Course). It is called "Philosophy for Everybody", lasts for seven weeks, will require me to study for 1-2 hours a week and has a book that goes with the course.
How did this come about? Well I had, some time ago, wandered through the various web sites of the major providers – Coursera, NovoEd and so on – and must have left my email address somewhere that indicated I would be interested. They got in touch recently with a range of courses that I might be interested in. Easy, minimum fuss from my point of view, getting back to me impressed me – all behaviours that face-to-face providers might strive to copy.
I needed something that would not have time demands that were too heavy, that was focussed, had good, helpful resources and related to my interests and past learning. This fitted the bill nicely.
At 1-2 hours a week I could see myself managing this. The trouble with so much conventional learning is that it is dolloped out in such large chunks, like the ladles of mashed potato thrown onto your plate in the army mess-hall. I wanted finger food.
The focus was clear and the explanations of it attractive – a short introduction to some of the current approaches to philosophy, thinking and ideas. The resources were clear – seven staff members at the University of Edinburgh each wrote a chapter related to their unit in the course, they were put together into a book and that was it. I got mine from Amazon and put it into my Kindle – I have the resources for the course with me in convenient form.
I am interested in philosophy having undertaken Philosophy 1 in my BA degree many years ago. That course was strong on logic (Students sit in lecture halls. This is a lecture hall. Therefore I must be a student) and some selected philosophers – Bergson and Plato I think.
But the impressive thing to this point has been the total ease with which I have been enrolled -not only the ease, but also the style and approach. I was on first name terms with the University of Edinburgh and the philosophy team instantly. "Hello Stuart, Welcome to the University of Edinburgh." I was enrolled, welcomed and knew what I needed to know in the space of the time it takes to search and make the thirteen clicks required by conventional tertiary websites.
The course had actually been open for 12 hours when I got to it on Tuesday morning and already there were several hundred people logged on to the discussion room and they came from all over the world. It was like walking into a common room full of the buzz of friendly conversation with no-one staring. Immediately I was taken by the massive reach of this course geographically, across ages and experience. Being shy by nature I didn't sign in – I shall do that this weekend.
Now I know that it is easy to be enthusiastic at the beginning. A whopping 93% of those who start a MOOC are not there at the end. I am determined to be there. At that point, if I have "completed" the course (I know exactly what that entails and will require), I shall receive my "Certificate". This will not be one that produces credit (you need to have your credit card handy when enrolling in those ones) but rather a simple acknowledgement of course participation and completion. That's all I need at my stage. That might be all that a huge number of people are looking for. I suspect that MOOCs have wide appeal as a kind of Online University of the Third Age.
I promise not to bore you with a blow-by-blow account of my toe-dipping experience with this course and style of learning but will report back to you later in the year when I have completed the course (or, perhaps, have dropped out, or perhaps have failed to pass!).
One of the real strengths of the current Better Public Service Goals is that the target for 18 Year olds is expressed with some flexibility. To pin the target at "NCEA Level 2 or equivalent qualification" is both sensible and essential for a variety of reasons.
It will be a very long time before all 18 year olds will be achieving this target through the conventional approaches of the secondary school. NCEA Level 2 does not function as an effective school leaving target for all simply because the secondary school-based pathway is not one that is attractive to or effective for all students.
This is recognised in other school systems. In the United States the High School Diploma is the standard "school leaving qualification". But many do not achieve this so an option is offered through the community college system in two ways. Study for other awards at the level of the diploma is recognised in the associate degree qualification or, where that study has been in general education subjects, often remediation courses, the qualification awarded is a General Education Diploma. This is "an equivalent qualification".
When a student has not found success in the pathway through a school the appropriate response will neither be in a school nor will the appropriate qualification be one that is seen as a "school" qualification. A multiple pathways response will see the foundation level study wrapped onto other postsecondary programmes and the student who finds renewed interest and energy in different pathways will subsequently be successful not because of the Better Public Service Goal but because they have a line of sight to other postsecondary qualifications and the employment that goes with them. Achieving the Level 2 goal will merely be a station their train passes through on that journey.
Our education system has been dogged by two things in its history – the lack of connection between school and what comes after for a significant group of students and the fixation with a school-based qualification that has little connection with the qualification required beyond the gates.
The Qualifications Framework was a mechanism that would allow equivalence to be struck between different programmes and qualifications. "Equivalence" is not "sameness" and judgment is required in striking equivalence between dissimilar programmes and qualifications at the same level. Trying to bundle everything at Level 1 or Level 2 into a package is at best pointless and might even be counterproductive.
The Tertiary Education Commission insists only that programmes "offered through Youth Guarantee must be linked to level 1-3 qualifications on the New Zealand Qualifications Framework" and notes that "achieving level 2 qualifications should be the starting point for the learner, with tertiary education organisations encouraging and supporting Youth Guarantee learners to progress to higher levels of education" (see www.tec.govt.nz). This reinforces the principles of difference and equivalence. It also importantly reflects the importance of the Minister's recent announcement that Youth Guarantee would apply to 19 year olds allowing level 3 programmes to become a realistic goal within a Youth Guarantee supported pathway.
Level 3 is important in that at that level entry into other industry-recognised qualifications becomes more realistic and suggests that level 2 is an important stage – essential but not sufficient for a secure future. And that is an important point.
Current moves to wrap foundation education into continuous pathways that take young people to a higher and better place are to be welcomed but if they result in re-introducing the disconnection between foundation work and the real qualifications they follow then many of the gains made by Youth Guarantee might be lost and that would be a great pity.
If issues such as disengagement, NEETs, teen Mums and Dads, Maori and Pasifika achievement and so on are to be seriously addressed then level 1 and 2 must not become programmes based on new turf in its own right but a level of learning that is a genuine foundation on which the superstructure of higher skills can be placed. The two parts of this process are one and indivisible.
Effective delivery of levels 1 and 2 in a seamless and connected manner will be a key to success not only of programmes but also for learners – both those things are also the same thing!

Amber Heard claims it's not about the money after rejecting monthly $50,000 spousal support
By Wardah Sempa
Updated June 17, 2016 16:49 BST
Following a dramatic split, Amber Heard, 30, who accused Johnny Depp of domestic violence and was granted a temporary restraining order against him, says money is "the lowest priority." The actress is mainly concerned about her safety, sources told TMZ.

Lawyers for Heard and Depp, 52, have been in talks over a settlement, and she did not respond to his offer of $50,000 spousal support. That's because the Pirates of the Caribbean star also wanted a 'mutual restraining order', which Heard refused, saying she was not the violent one, the site reports.
Her priority now is staying safe, and the Drive Angry actress sees herself as standing up for other victims of domestic violence, sources told TMZ, especially when the offender is rich and famous.
The couple did not have a prenup, and under California family law she is legally entitled to half of what Depp earned during their marriage. She will appear in court next Friday to seek a permanent restraining order.

After Heard claimed that the Black Mass actor was physically abusing her. TMZ reported that the 30-year-old actress, who appeared in The Rum Diary and Magic Mike XXL, was also accused of domestic violence in 2009 towards her ex-girlfriend Tasya van Ree.
However, Van Ree said the actress was wrongfully accused of domestic violence. Van Ree said she and Heard were involved in an incident in Seattle years ago that has been "misinterpreted and over-sensationalized."
"I recount hints of misogynistic attitudes toward us, which later appeared to be homophobic when they found out we were domestic partners and not just 'friends,'" van Ree said in a statement released by Heard's spokeswoman Jodi Gottlieb.
Heard and Van Ree dated for five years and remain close, Van Ree said. "It's disheartening that Amber's integrity and story are being questioned yet again," she added. "Amber is a brilliant, honest and beautiful woman and I have the utmost respect for her."
Heard and Depp were married for 15 months before a divorce petition was filed last month.

Spacek was the chief executive of Arthur Andersen from 1947 to 1973, when Andersen was the moral voice of public accounting, and the ironic truth of his comments lingers even as the Supreme Court decided last week to consider overturning the accounting firm's conviction for obstruction of justice.
The court will review whether U.S. District Judge Melinda Harmon's jury instructions were too vague when it came to determining whether Andersen employees knew it was a crime to shred documents related to Enron.
The Supremes' decision, though, doesn't really involve the particulars of Andersen's demise. Regardless of how they rule, it won't bring the firm back, and it won't change the fact that Andersen was a victim of its own self-indulgence.
After all, jury foreman Oscar Criner told the Chronicle's Mary Flood that Harmon's instructions pertaining to the document destruction didn't affect the panel's decision. He said the nail in Andersen's coffin was a memo written by in-house attorney Nancy Temple advising colleagues to alter documents that discussed Enron's finances.
The government showed how Andersen's previous transgressions motivated Temple in urging others to cover their Enron-related tracks, Criner said.
Make no mistake, the government's decision to indict Andersen was harsh, and prosecutors knew it would kill the firm. Andersen, though, was a recidivist. It was the third time in a year that the firm was mired in a major accounting scandal, each bigger than the last. Seven months before Enron's bankruptcy, Andersen had been hit with the biggest fine ever for an audit failure because it approved bogus financial statements at Houston-based Waste Management.
Punishment didn't change the firm's behavior. Andersen's role as Enron's shredder-in-chief wasn't a fluke, and it wasn't a mistake. It was inevitable given the firm's track record.
The tragedy of Andersen's collapse is that thousands of good, honest accountants were caught in the vortex of its failure. As too often happens in corporate malfeasance, the innocent bore the penalty.
The legions of loyal Andersen partners didn't deserve to be put out on the street, and they didn't deserve a leadership that kept the firm on the wrong side of too many blown audits.
Between 1997 and 2001, the year Enron collapsed, Andersen paid more than $500 million to settle claims of blown audits, including four of the five largest settlements. In May 2001, it settled claims that it had approved fraudulent audits at Sunbeam for $110 million, and a month later it shelled out $95 million more to settle similar claims involving Waste Management.
In the Waste Management case in particular, internal SEC documents show that Andersen's senior executives knew the company was overstating earnings as far back as 1993, yet the auditors continued to sign off on Waste Management's financial statements. Year after year, the company promised to change its ways. Andersen acquiesced.
After the fraud finally surfaced in 1998, when USA Waste Services bought Waste Management and restated earnings by $1.7 billion, the Securities and Exchange Commission fined Andersen $7 million, at the time the biggest it ever levied against an auditor.
There were dozens of other cases, dating to 1982, when Andersen ignored shady accounting at John DeLorean's fledgling car company because it wanted to develop a client base in the auto industry.
Each time the firm looked the other way, it was as if the voice of Spacek, the sage of ethical accounting who once scolded the entire industry for putting profit ahead of investor interests, grew ever fainter in the firm's corporate conscience.
Profit was a growing concern at Andersen during the 1990s. Its lucrative consulting division wanted to split off as a separate company, which finally happened in 2000, and Andersen was looking for ways to make up the revenue it expected to lose.
Into that environment of failed audits, huge legal judgments, regulatory investigations and an overriding focus on profit came Temple's memo on destroying documents, just as the SEC began snooping around Enron's books.
"It might be useful," Temple wrote, "to consider reminding the (Enron) engagement team of our documentation and retention policy. It will be helpful to make sure that we have complied with the policy."
Helpful indeed. Andersen's leaders knew the firm was out of second chances, and no one wanted to lose the firm's premier client, Enron. It wasn't long before the Shred-It trucks began pulling up on Smith Street.
The Supremes can weigh the legal technicalities of the case, but Andersen failure was preordained. It was foretold by its revered leader almost 50 years ago.
Andersen was a victim of its own self-indulgence.

Q: iPhone SDK - Search Bar Thread Synchronization Question This is more of a high level "how do you solve this type of problem" type of question, as opposed to a "why doesn't my code compile" question.
I've got a search bar within an iPhone application that searches my data just fine.  However, i have the search triggered (handleSearchForTerm is called) after each keypress.  This creates some lag.
I like the idea of having search results appear automatically, but I don't like that for larger datasets, the act of searching appears to interrupt user input.
Is this something I can't fix aside from making my search routine faster?  Or, is there a better way to handle this?
One thought is that I'd like to be able to trigger a search only, say, 500ms after a keypress (unless there has been another keypress in the meantime, then reset).  Is that possible?
Thanks for any help.

A: You can use the performSelector:withObject:afterDelay to call the search routine after a delay of 500ms
EDIT (after your comment):
You can use cancelPreviousPerformRequestsWithTarget: selector: object: to cancel subsequent calls to the search routine
Ofcourse, you will need some kind of mechanism to identify if a search routine is currently in process. Use semaphores for that.
