Roll-offs usually start at 10 cubic yards, so should you just have 3-4 yards of waste, you're paying for much more dumpster than you need.
Trash or junk removal makes more sense if you prefer somebody else to load your old items. In addition, it functions well should you prefer it to be taken away fast so it's outside of your own hair or in the event that you only have a few big items; this is likely cheaper than renting an entire dumpster.

Keep in mind, nevertheless, that you still may have to pay extra if you want to include particular items and materials in the dumpster.

When you know the exact quantity, you can write a check in advance. Afterward, anyone can pay the rental business when its driver drops off the dumpster.

It's always wise to consult your local city or county offices (possibly the parking enforcement division) if you own a question about the need for a permit on a road.
Should you don't obtain a permit and find out afterwards that you were required to have one, you will probably face a fine from your local authorities. In most dumpster rental in Glenbrook cases, though, you should be just fine without a permit as long as you keep the dumpster on your property.
Renting a 40 yard dumpster will get you a container that holds about 40 cubic yards of waste. Dumpster sizes and dimensions aren't totally standard from company to company, but common measurements for a 40 yard container are 22 feet long by 8 feet wide by 8 feet high. This is the biggest size that a lot of dumpster businesses normally rent, therefore it is perfect for big residential projects as well as for commercial and industrial use.
Dumpster rental businesses normally have set prices, but the fine art of negotiation is always in play. Should you would like to dicker on the purchase price, call around to other businesses first so you understand what the going rental rate is. When you are talking to the business you wish to utilize, simply mention other prices which are better than theirs. Some businesses WOn't just fit that lower price, they will really surpass it to please their customers.

Some businesses will provide special discounts to active members of the military, veterans, seniors, members of the neighborhood Chamber of Commerce and more.

Yikes! I spy one ripe banana, but ripe bananas make for the best caramelized fruit. It's still the perfect weather for comforting warm custard and caramel. Unfortunately that means it's freezing outside.
I'm envisioning some sugary nuggets of banana nestled in a sweet tart dough and covered with a caramel flan. Sounds good no?
Is sweetened pumpkin only an American tradition? Only last week a french baker said to me, "I don't like my vegetables sweetened!" when I asked why he never ate the delightful mini pumpkin pies he turned out for the holidays. Well I have a certain fondness for pumpkin, spice, and brown sugar crusts!
Fresh fruit, I know how delicious it can be but this weekend I was reminded by just how sweet and perfectly satisfying a ripe fig or juicy peach is. Sad, no more figs or peaches, but there are little baskets of lipstick red strawberries in the market that I simply can't ignore.
Looking forward to making a little tart of vanilla cream and these berries later in the week.
A slight detour in my baking schedule and a very ripe mango led me to a pleasant discovery the other day. Mango & lime curd!
Fruit curds are pretty straightforward – eggs, fruit puree, some acid for flavor and to cut the sweetness, and finished with butter for creaminess. Simple but oh man, so tasty. Not to subject you too soon to yet another round of macarons (my discovery batch of curd ultimately wound up here), it's back to tarts. Stay tuned.
I spent the past week waging war on the blistering heat with ice cream experiments. That leaves me LOTS OF EGG WHITES. Not quite ready to launch into another round of macarons, but a light meringue speckled with some chocolate cake crumbles and toasty hazelnuts might be just the thing. It seems condemnable to rely only on nuts and chocolate when the markets are overflowing with ripe fruit. I'll find a way to sneak some cherries into the mix.
Tartlette pics from last week soon to come!
Has it already been a month? Focusing on making one item each week is wonderful. I look forward to Thursday mornings when I sample a freshly baked up treat of the week that you guys will enjoy later that day.

In Iran, The Revolution Will Be Tagged Some say what's happening in Iran is a "Twitter revolution." But Andy Carvin argues that how information has been labeled and tracked is really what's important.
This is one of the thousands of pictures posted on Flickr using the hashtag #IranElection.
There has been a lot of hype in recent days that the events taking place in Iran constitute a "Twitter revolution," and it's easy to understand why many people might see it that way. Since the protests began last weekend, Twitter has been flooded with tens of thousands of posts per day showing solidarity with the protesters, as Iranians post information on marches and crackdowns alike. But does that mean innumerable Iranian activists have planned their protests on Twitter? Not exactly.
Unfortunately, it's difficult to gauge just how many Iranians are on Twitter. The Web analytics company Sysomos estimates that only 8,600 user profiles indicate they're from Iran, and it's likely that only a subset of them are currently active on Twitter and involved in protests. More likely, text messaging, phones and face-to-face interactions are playing a much larger role in their activities.
Why is Twitter getting all the attention? For one thing, Twitter has become the social media darling of journalists. Between its utility as an information-gathering tool and the exuberance resulting from celebrities embracing Twitter, it's become a pop culture phenomenon that is hard for them to ignore.
Now combine that journalistic enthusiasm toward Twitter with the Iran protest story, and it's hard to resist covering it as something momentous. But how do you reconcile this pronouncement with the fact that only a small number of protesters are actively using Twitter?
It's all about the hashtags.
For the uninitiated, a hashtag is a way of telling people on Twitter that you wish to associate your tweet to a specific event or discussion. For example, if I posted the tweet "Getting ready to fire up the BBQ. #July4th," I'd be signifying my tweet is related to July 4th. This is important because Twitter's search tool and other services make it really easy for anyone to track all the tweets that use identical hashtags.
Since the protests began, the number of tweets using the tag #IranElection has skyrocketed. According to the hashtag tracking service wthashtag.com, more than 220,000 tweets from over 55,000 people have been tagged #IranElection this past week. If you made the highly improbable assumption that all of the estimated 8,600 Iranian Twitter users actively participated in the tagging, only around one in seven tweets tagged #IranElection would've actually come from Iran.
Which brings me to my main point: The power of Twitter this week hasn't been as a primary organizing tool for the protesters among themselves. Rather, it has served as a conduit for the world outside Iran to rally and organize — particularly in terms of showing moral support for the protesters.
So when a handful of people within Iran post a tweet conveying new information, their use of hashtags like #IranElection helps that information go viral. Twitter users around the world, including the media, monitor these tags to get the latest news — or rumors, in many cases — and propagate them worldwide through re-tweeting or covering them in news stories and blogs.
This tagging extends well beyond Twitter. On the photo sharing site Flickr, for example, nearly 3,000 photos have been tagged either IranElection or 1388, in reference to the year on the Persian calendar. For YouTube, there are 6,000 related videos, with some of the most popular ones having been viewed hundreds of thousands of times. Were it not for tags, this content would fall through the cracks.
Whether or not Twitter ultimately plays a measurable role in the outcome of the political standoff in Iran remains to be seen. But Twitter's ability to keep the world plugged in and engaged is immensely important in itself. With so few international journalists on the ground in Iran, even having a handful of Iranians posting updates on Twitter has proved to be an invaluable asset to everyone trying to track down the latest news and rumors. But it's the use of tagging on Twitter and other social networks that has propagated this information well beyond the borders of Iran.
The revolution will be televised? Not anymore. In Iran, at least, the revolution will be tagged.

A study of the naturalistic novel should perform two tasks. It should describe the body of theory that is designated by the term naturalistic; and it should show in some detail what this body of theory does to the novels in which it appears. The undertaking would be simpler if the theory actually controlled the "naturalistic" novel, but it does not; it merely affects it in a variety of ways. The body of theory involves philosophy, biology, sociology, psychology, physiology, and economics, loosely, of course, and in terms that change from one decade and writer to the next.
Charles Walcutt calls this literary movement, whose effects last until today . In the following, the themes and conflicts of naturalism in the late 19th and the early 20th century will be described.
Charles Walcutt calls this literary movement, whose effects last until today, a wonder, a scandal, and a major force (3). Authors argue that it is an outgrowth of realism, because according to George J. Becker it is realism with an explicit philosophical position being one of a pessimistic, materialistic determinism (Pizer 1984, 10. The characters in naturalist novels are the poor, the uneducated and the unsophisticated (Pizer 1984, 11), mainly from the lower middle class or the lower class.

In the bitter cold and half-light of a winter morning, I watched a large white van crunch across the ice in my cul-de-sac.
Two hooded men trailed the back of the van, periodically reaching into the open back doors. One man went right, the other went left, as they visited the front doors of each of my neighbors.
Up the walkway, turn around, cut across the yard to the next house. Repeat.
I saw one of the men approach my house.
It would have saved time if they had just put the relic in my garbage can and saved me the trouble.
Phone books have long outlived their usefulness. They probably reached their height of usefulness in the early 1990s. It's been rapid obsolescence ever since.

Tag Archives: prinzhorn dance school
When I saw Prinzhorn Dance School (officially designated the band least likely to be signed to a major record label) at a 10th anniversary party for DFA Records (whoosh, thump, namedrop) I was surprised by how much more, in the flesh, they reminded me of Gang of Four. There is of course a shared caustic sense of humour to both bands' work, but seen on stage the music itself melds with my memories of the original post-punk poster-boys.
On their forthcoming second album, Clay Class, I think there's to be a subtle shift from the brittleness of their debut, towards a more flowing style that's occasionally interrupted by the shouty bits of old. If you will, it sounds a bit more informed by Gang of Four. No bad thing, if you found their old stuff a bit too primal.
The second song to be teased out from Clay Class is "Happy in Bits", which lopes along quite a melodic little riff. The bass-line is as primitive as ever, which is how I like it, but it's lower in the mix; lower than Tobin Prinz and Suzi Horn's angry/coital vocals, at least.

Newsflash: I write too much about DFA Records. Geeky fact: my iPod is engraved with "The DFA" on its back. All context aside, however, it's really great that the label set up by Messrs. Murphy and Goldsworthy in 2001 has hit such a milestone, and I helped ring in the years on Tuesday night when I attended a little party-cum-gig at the cosy 100 Club on London's Oxford Street.
Given that the last gig I went to was Flying Lotus at the Roundhouse two weeks prior, this was a radically stripped-down affair. Three tight bands; no fluff, no guff; adoring fans standing not farther than five metres from the stage. First up were the comically stark Prinzhorn Dance School, back after something of an extended spell making their second album. Deadpan to the extreme, the lyrics about small-town gruesomeness were set against abrasive, Gang Of Four-style post punk. Martial drums from a ponytailed extra left plenty of air in the mix for Tobin Prinz's caustic fretwork and Suzi Horn's bottomless bass-lines. The new songs sounded slightly more heartfelt, rather like the closing track on their debut album, "Spaceman In Your Garden", but there was something so primal in the yelping of older cuts like "Up! Up! Up!" and "Crackerjack Docker".
Next came Y△CHT (ultra-stylized, as ever), with the core duo of Jona Bechtolt and Claire L. Evans still expanded to take in the backing band who are, I think, still called The Straight Gaze. Evans was striking in a space-age ecru dress, writhing and gesticulating all across the stage and floor. Behind her, the feel-good white boy funk proved mildly intoxicating, recalling the Tom Tom Club. Plinky-plonk keys and socially awkward beats were very much the order of the day; moderately amusing PowerPoint graphics projected onto a rickety screen provided further entertainment. The band were good enough to stop for a Q&A halfway through (unrequited) but more of the crowd took them up on their offer after their set.
Lead billing was given to The Rapture, whose breakthrough album Echoes was literally the coolest thing I'd ever heard when I finally got round to buying it in 2007. Back when they were a foursome, they did for dance-friendly music what The Strokes did for rock 'n' roll. Now reduced to a trio, they're still a raucous live act. Luke Jenner and Vito Roccoforte look a bit more padded round the edges nowadays, but they still whip up a sonic storm between the drumkit and the ubiquitous red Telecaster; meanwhile, multi-instrumentalist Gabriel Andruzzi looks like he hasn't aged a day since 2003, and flits between keys, saxophone and cowbell. Opening with a salvo of newer songs, the band still felt relevant and history-making, but the real fun began when a pummelling 808 beat kicked in, marking the unmistakeable "Olio", the Echoes opener which incredibly crossed the divide between punk and acid house. The crowd went nuts, and rightly so. From there, the set took a darkier, clubbier vibe, with standout new track "Come Back To Me" emerging from a foggy accordion sample into a wildly filtered beat, and the anthemic "House Of Jealous Lovers" transforming the floor into a joyous riot.
There was a short encore, embraced by the nostalgic crowd in spite of its lack of retrospection. Their comeback single, "How Deep Is Your Love" was given a triumphant airing, with its house piano chords tapping into the soul of the venue, before the band closed shop with "Sail Away", another victory march.
What a brilliantly low-key way of celebrating the tenth anniversary of a record label who truly changed the way we think about music to dance to.
You can find some photographs which do justice to the sheer emotion of welcoming back The Rapture over at This Is Fake DIY.

I seem to be starting every post nowadays with "Just a quick update to say…" so here comes another one.
My hands are somewhat tied, musically, at present, owing to an overload/guilt trip about actually getting down to some revision. Predictably, I've spent the entire year slavishly scribbling down notes without really understanding what was going on. Consequently, I should now have my face firmly held to the grindstone.
While I revise, I do however like to listen to music. Usually I favour stuff with a strong rhythmic element – LCD Soundsystem, Hercules & Love Affair, Prinzhorn Dance School, Portishead, Massive Attack – but I also find myself working more productively with instrumental post rock, which has the effect of letting me "leave the phenomenal world, and enter into the sublime." Albums like Explosions In The Sky's Those Who Tell The Truth Will Die, Those Who Tell The Truth Will Live Forever and Tortoise's landmark TNT are ideal for this purpose, as are most of M83's albums.
When I'm not revising, I've also been exploring the depths of Spotify, and have had the following albums of frequent rotation:
The Decemberists – The Hazards Of Love
Yeah Yeah Yeahs – It's Blitz!
Konono No. 1 – Congotronics
Amadou & Mariam – Welcome To Mali
Antibalas – Talkatif
John Rutter – Gloria
Various – Nigeria 70: Lagos Jump
Antony & The Johnsons – The Crying Light
Beck – Sea Change
Doves – Kingdom Of Rust
Robert Wyatt – Comicopera
Hockey Night – Keep Guessin'
All of which I can heartily endorse. Certainly if you're in the UK, you've no excuse not to get swallowed up by Spotify, because anyone can sign up.

Something that came up during my interview with Vivian Girls last night – yes, I will say more about it; no, I'm not just trying to hype it up mercilessly – was a discussion about what breeds a certain explosion in music creation. I contrasted the societal foibles that seem to inform British songwriters, with the predominantly positive artistic environment that catalyses American music-making. Primarily, I was comparing the canon of social commentators in British music (The Kinks, Blur, The Jam &c.), with the explosion of alternative and experimental music streaming out of Brooklyn (The Yeah Yeah Yeahs, TV On The Radio, Vampire Weekend, Vivian Girls themselves).
This morning, while listening to Prinzhorn Dance School's eponymous debut (released in 2007), it became clear to me that this tradition of commenting on the oddities of British society is still very much alive today. I like to think of Prinzhorn Dance School as being a recent band that time has already forgotten, for no good reason. The truth is, I regard them very highly, both musically and lyrically. There are clear links between their sparse, minimalist instrumentation and that of Shellac, and they also share that band's taste in dark, violent humour. Their debut album was perhaps a tad long, but it boasted remarkably intricate song structures, and some of the best post-Albini production, courtesy of James Murphy, giving the whole work a wonderfully resonant, spacious sound. In Pitchfork's review of the album, the critic wrote,
Only 70% or so of Prinzhorn Dance School's debut album is made up of music. The rest is…well, it's hard to say. What do you call the space in a song that lingers between the guitar parts, vocals, and beats?
And I really can't put it much better myself. This lingering space fills the album with a sense of dread and anxiety, without resorting to melodramatic musical gimmicks. In the absence of trickery, the natural harmonics of guitar strings are allowed to float around unhindered. The almost militarily precise drums emit a kind of padded reverb. The bass sinks faster than the Titanic. The whole affair is rather industrial, like being inside a tightly packed machine that never slackens – a sensation depicted more visually in the video to "Crackerjack Docker", above.
Combined with the sardonic and painfully unsettling lyrics, it makes for an uneasy listen. It's not an example of my famous 'scary music', but it's certainly pretty dark. In the song "Do You Know Your Butcher", for example, the band reflect upon the unintentional scene of murder one might imagine –
If you go in for the counter,
There's blood on the hands,
Fur on the floor
Meat.
An awful lot of it is about implied violence and enigma in the most innocuous of settings. It's a bit like being in a Coen Brothers film. In "Don't Talk To Strangers", the pair deliver what seems like a public information film gone horribly wrong –
Don't talk to strangers,
Just get into the car.
Or they'll find out who you are.
I've got pills in a jar.
Just like their precursors, Prinzhorn Dance School are writing about the deep-rooted sense of dread in suburbia; the terror of doing nothing; the feeling of irrelevancy as we sit in cars, in traffic, our minds elsewhere. All this makes them one of more curious signings to James Murphy's DFA label: I really hope the mixed reaction to their debut was a product of critical uncertainty about their pretensions, as opposed to a genuine dislike of their strange sense of humour. I could say, "but at least Pitchfork liked it," but that would be missing the point. Pitchfork liked it because they can see beyond what could pass for being extremely pretentious. Pretentious is not what Prinzhorn Dance School are about. Yes, the music is certainly uncompromising, but that doesn't mean it can't be enjoyed – albeit with a wry smile on one's face.

Expanding Chinese Language Capacity
Three months before President Hu Jintao of China made his historic visit to Washington State and met with Governor Christine Gregoire in April, 2006, a group of 60 business, education, and community leaders and policy makers met to explore the possibility of reaching a "tipping point" for interest in expanding Chinese language capacity in the U.S. and Washington State. The group set a goal of "10% of students in Washington State learning Chinese by the year of 2015." (Read the 2006 Summit Report.)
Since 2006, a lot has happened, including the establishment of the Confucius Institute of the State of Washington, a unique state-level partnership between the University of Washington, Seattle Public Schools, the Governor's Office, and the Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction. In recognition of the Confucius Institute's 3rd anniversary on April 26, 2013, we convened another meeting of business, education, and community leaders and policy makers to explore progress to date and next steps on the journey of expanding Chinese language capacity. Meeting at a business breakfast at the Wing Luke Museum in Seattle on the morning of April 26, 2013, the group of fifty had a chance to hear stories of amazing students from kindergarten to college age and beyond who have benefited from Washington's effort to expand Chinese language and culture in our schools. Find out how we are doing at meeting the goal set in 2006l: 10% of students learning Chinese by 2015. Here are some highlights from the business breakfast.
Beginning with the end in mind, success stories from our students and teachers:
Dennis Tanner, student in the K-16 Chinese Flagship at U of Oregon, graduate of Peninsula High School.
Did you know that since the Chinese Flagship program began at the University of Oregon in 2005, 245 students have enrolled in Chinese Flagship courses and 98 students have graduated the program? Currently, 41 students are enrolled in the program.
Justin Ith, student at the University of Washington, graduate of One World Now! Chinese program.
Did you know that over 2000 students have participated in the One World Now! program over the past 10 years, over a 1000 of which studied Chinese and approximately 225 have traveled to China on scholarship?
Zena, 6th grader at Pathfinder K-8 School, Seattle.
Did you know that Seattle has hosted over a dozen guest teachers from China, and this year both Seattle and Longview School Districts are hosting two guest teachers each?
Jiang Xuanlong, Chinese guest teacher at Pathfinder K-8 School, Seattle.
Did you know that I've taught Chinese to over 600 students in Seattle Public Schools over the past two years?
Nat & Delaney, 4th graders in Mandarin Immersion at Beacon Hill International School, Seattle.
Did you know that in 2006, there weren't any Chinese Dual Immersion programs in Washington and now there are three in Seattle, Vancouver, and Bellevue?
Kelly Aramaki, principal at Beacon Hill International School, 2013 Washington State Elementary Principal of the Year.
Did you know that in 2012, 100% of 3rd graders in the Mandarin Immersion program at Beacon Hill met standard in the state math test (MSP) – even though they had been taught Math in Mandarin since kindergarten?
Nicholas & Samrawit, 1st graders in Mandarin Immersion at Beacon Hill International School.
We are the future!
Pollyanna Wang, Chinese teacher at Chief Sealth International High School, Seattle
Did you know that since 2007, over 30 teachers of Chinese have completed the teacher preparation program led by Betty Lau in Seattle Public Schools, funded by STARTALK. I was one of the first Chinese teachers to get my teacher certification and Chinese language endorsement through this program.
Expansion of Chinese Language Programs in public high schools 2004 – 2012
Based on data from the Mapping & Enhancing Language Learning (MELL) Surveys in 2004, 2007, 2009, and data from the OSPI Student Enrollment database (CEDARS) in spring 2012, we can chart the growth of Chinese in our state.

Q: when i enter the datepicker value in text box and comment field is kept empty.When i click add more button next datepicker value is not stored The problem is, When i enter the datepicker in text box and comment field is kept empty.When i click add more button and enter the datepicker value .The next datepicker value is not stored in db.
below is my code:form.php
<form class="form-horizontal" method="post" action="new1.php?is_user=0" enctype="multipart/form-data">

          DATE

          <input id="date" name="date[]" value="<?php echo $_POST['date'] ?>" style="width:100%;margin-left:-0.4%;margin-top:0%;" type="text" class="form-control input-md datepicker pick" readonly>

          Comment

          <input id="comment[]" name="comment[]" type="text" placeholder="" class="form-control input-md">

             <button class="add_field btn " onclick="incrementValue()" >Add More</button>

             <input type="text" name="mytextt[]" hidden="" >

    <button id="save_btn" name="save_btn" type="submit" class="btn btn-success" style="width: 10em;margin-left:10px">Save</button>
    <button onclick="ClickEvent()" class="btn btn-warning" style="width: 10em;">Cancel</button>

</form>

javascript:

A: There are a number of things to fix and a number of things you can do to improve the code. I won't get into all of them, but here are the most immediate things.
Working Example: https://jsfiddle.net/Twisty/c03ajvuw/
JavaScript
$(document).ready(function() {
  var max_fields = 10; //maximum input boxes allowed
  var wrapper = $(".input_fields"); //Fields wrapper
  var add_button = $(".add_field"); //Add button ID
  var wrapper_pre1 = $(".present_fields_1"); //Fields wrapper
  var x = 1; //initlal text box count
  add_button.click(function(e) { //on add input button click
    e.preventDefault();
    if (x < max_fields) { //max input box allowed
      x++; //text box increment
      $(wrapper).prepend('
DATE
<input class="form-control datepicker pickers" id="date' + x + '" name="date[]" style="" type="text" readonly>

Comment
<input id="comment[]" name="comment[]" type="text" placeholder="" class="form-control input-md comment" style="">

');
      var newInput = $("#date" + x).val($("#date").val()).datepicker({
        dateFormat: 'dd/mm/yy'
      });
    }
  });

  $(wrapper).on("click", ".remove_field", function(e) { //user click on remove text
    e.preventDefault();
    $(this).parent('div').remove();
    x--;
  });
});

First, the jQuery DatePicker is called using .datepicker(), not .datepick().
Second, the Date Format should be dd/mm/yy for 31/12/2016 style dates, not dd/mm/yyyy, this will result in 31/12/20162016. Read more here: http://api.jqueryui.com/datepicker/#option-dateFormat
Third, you named your new field id date2, so every time add more was clicked, you make a new ID of the same value. I adjusted this to:
id="date' + x + '"

And
$("#date" + x)

This will ensure that each element has a unique ID. Hope that helps.

Title: Sleeping in a dog cage, Pattinson pares down for 'Good Time' thriller
Date: 7th August 2017
Summary: LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA, UNITED STATES (RECENT) (REUTERS) (SOUNDBITE) (English) ROBERT PATTINSON, ACTOR, SAYING: "Shooting at the pace we were shooting at, you're kind of always 'on'. We didn't even have trailers or all of that stuff. There is no waste of time at all."
Keywords: Robert Pattinson "Good Time" movie thriller New York dog cage set

Story Text: Normally accustomed to luxury trailers and gourmet food, actor Robert Pattinson was reduced to sleeping in a dog cage on the set of his latest movie "Good Time," a fast-paced nocturnal crime thriller set in New York City.
"We were setting up lights and I was like 'where's Rob?' I look over and there is a dog cage, a huge dog cage, and (Pattinson) is in there sleeping," the film's co-director Josh Safdie said in an interview.
"The dog was pissed," an amused Pattinson added.
The British actor, best known for playing vampire Edward Cullen in the "Twilight" young adult romance film franchise, portrays a psychopath named Connie, who is obsessed with breaking his developmentally challenged brother out of prison after a botched robbery attempt.
"Good Time," out in U.S. theaters on Friday, was shot mostly with handheld cameras on the streets of the New York City borough of Queens, which follow Connie on an all-night odyssey filled with misadventure.
The fast-paced shoot led Pattinson to take a nap in a dog cage that was part of the film's gritty set.
"Just shooting at the pace we were shooting at, you're kind of always 'on'," Pattinson said. "We didn't even have trailers."
The actor's sacrifices for the low-budget independent film may have paid off, at least with critics who have praised his performance in his post-"Twilight" career.
The movie received a 100 percent rating with top critics on movie aggregator RottenTomatoes.com.

Through its Compensation Plans (the first of which was announced on 31 July 2016), Oxy RB provides Oxy HS Category 1 and 2 Victims from Rounds 1 through 4 (those categorised by the Korean government in its four rounds of potential victim assessment as suffering, or having suffered, lung damage which was "almost certainly" (Category 1) or "highly possibly" (Category 2) a result of their use of Oxy RB's HS product) announced on or before 5 April 2019 with a remedy that reiterates its apology.
The Compensation Plans respect the sensitivities of individual victims and their families, provide fair compensation without delay, impose the minimum burden on claimants and provides access to independent advice and review.
Oxy RB's Compensation Plans were developed based on consultations with Oxy HS victims in meetings, in groups and on individual occasions at the office of Oxy RB or through home visits. Oxy RB endeavored to listen to the voices and understand the pain and suffering of the victims, as well as to complete the Compensation Plans in a transparent way which reflected the views of the victims and their families.
Compensation for Category 1 and 2 Oxy HS victims categorised in Rounds 1 through 4 (whose categorisation has been announced on or before 5 April 2019) is being provided as follows:
Oxy RB offers a lump compensatory sum in respect of mental distress (including child potential and family consolation), as well as compensation to reflect past expenses, lost income, certain legal expenses and interest. Additional amounts are available where there is more than one victim in a family.
Compensation proposals for victims living with the ongoing effects of the Oxy HS product include a proposed provision to cover future HS related medical costs and care needs.
99.5% of Category 1 and 2 Oxy HS victims from Rounds 1 and 2 have registered to participate in the Compensation Plan, and 100% of those registered have been paid.
Subsequently, 89.5% of Category 1 and 2 Oxy HS victims from Rounds 3 have registered to participate in the Compensation Plan, and 93.4% of those have settled.
Oxy RB is currently processing the claims of those Category 1 and 2 Oxy HS victims from Round 4 announced on or before 5 April 2019. 97.3% of Round 4, Category 1 and 2 Oxy HS victims (announced on or before April 5, 2019) have registered to participate in the Compensation Plan, and 76% of those registered have been paid as of April 2019.
Recognising the seriousness of the HS issue, and the fact that the process for resolving was likely to take time, in Spring 2014, Oxy RB established a KRW 5 billion Humanitarian Fund to provide assistance to those who have suffered as a result of the HS issue.
Additionally, on 8 September 2017, Oxy RB paid KRW 67.4 billion in lump sum as its contribution to the HS Special Relief Fund under the HS Damage Relief Act.
The Oxy RB Compensation Plans for Oxy HS Category 1 and 2 victims from Rounds 1 to 4 whose categorisation was announced on or before 12 July 2018 have now closed for registration (although those whose categorisation was announced on 5 April 2019 can still register). 4 remaining victims who are eligible for the Oxy RB Compensation Plans have not registered (1 from Rounds 1 and 2, and 3 from Round 3). We have tried very hard to reach the four remaining victims who had not yet registered. Oxy RB remains open to these victims should they wish to register with our Compensation Plan.
What compensation can be claimed?
Based on the consultations with the victims in meetings, in groups and on individual occasions at the office of Oxy RB or through home visits, where it listened to the voices and sought to understand the pain and suffering of the victims, Oxy RB has put forward Compensation Plans that respect the individual needs of Oxy HS Category 1 and 2 victims from Rounds 1, 2, 3 and 4 categorised for HS-induced lung damage on or before 5 April 2019.
Oxy RB offers to compensate in respect of mental distress (including child potential and family consolation), past expenses, lost income, certain legal expenses and interest. In cases of death or severe injury of children, the lump sum will be KRW 1 billion. Oxy RB will also offer an additional amount where there is more than one victim in a Family.
Compensation Plans by HS Companies
OXY RB
Announced Compensation Plans established based on the four Core Principles of Respect, Fairness, Transparency, and Speed and reflecting the views of victims and families and formed a Care Manager Team to support victims through the compensation process. The first Compensation Plan was announced on 31 July 2016.
Lotte Mart
Offered an apology and pledged to form an organization responsible for compensation, review claims and criteria, and raise KRW 10 billion for compensation. Announced that it would begin its discussion on compensation with the victims whose damage is confirmed to be caused by LotteHS upon the completion of the prosecutors' investigation
Vowed to establish an independent organization participated by external experts from all walks of life for objective decision-making and to collaborate with government agencies to provide proper compensation
Results of Government Verification on HS Damage Claims
¹Categorisation of HS damage: HS users are classified into 4 categories based on comprehensive assessment on environmental exposure, tissue pathology, image medical science, and clinical medicine, etc,; Cat 1: Almost certain / Cat 2: High Possibility / Cat 3: Low Possibility / Cat 4 : Almost No Possibility / Unknown : Determination Not Possible e.g. due to insufficient evidence *Direct translation from Korean
²On April 2019, 6 (including one reassessment case) has been recognized as HS victims. On July 2018, 4,745 Rd. 4 cases and 752 Rd. 3 cases have been reported, of which 157 cases have been classified as Rd.4 Category 1 and 2. Source: MOE
Who can make a claim and how?
Oxy RB met with as many Victims and their Families as possible during the consultation processes for its Compensation Plans, as well as other stakeholders, such as Government and representatives of certain victim groups. This included approximately 80% of the 183 Category 1 and 2 Oxy HS victims or their Families from Rounds 1 and 2, and approximately 65% of the 52 Category 1 and 2 Oxy HS victims or their Families from Round 3 who were categorised on or before 10 August 2017, as well as approximately 88% of the 143 Category 1 and 2 Oxy HS victims or their Families from Round 4 whose categorization was announced on or before 12 July 2018.
Oxy RB continued its efforts to reach many of the remaining Victims and their Families so they were aware of the Compensation Plans. The Oxy RB Compensation Plans for Category 1 and 2 victims from Rounds 1 to 4 whose categorization was announced on or before 12 July 2018 have now closed for registration (although those whose categorisation was announced on 5 April 2019 can still register). 4 remaining victims who are eligible for the Oxy RB Compensation Plans have not registered (1 from Rounds 1 and 2, and 3 from Round 3).
Details of the Compensation Plans and the Application for Compensation forms can be found on the Oxy RB Web site (https://www.rb.com/kr/) and the forms can be submitted via mail (to the postal address provided on https://www.rb.com/kr/) or email (care@oxy.co.kr).
Upon registering, each victim is contacted by the Care Manager team including to help with the Compensation Process including necessary documentation and explaining the Compensation Offers according to the situation and needs of each victim.

Britain has joined the U.S. in calling for an end to the boycott of Qatar after the country's pledge to fight terrorism.
Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Egypt and the United Arab Emirates cut off diplomatic relations with Qatar in June, accusing its government of funding terrorism. Qatari ruler Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani has condemned the campaign by those states to isolate his nation, saying it violates international law. He says his country is open to dialog, if sovereignty is respected, to resolve the dispute.
But U.A.E. Minister of State for Foreign Affairs Anwar Gargash said that Qatari officials must revise their policies before discussions could begin, making the possibility of imminent talks more remote.

ANT'S NEW LOVE
Ant McPartlin finds love with his personal assistant Anne-Marie Corbett after they grew close during his year of turmoil
Sources say mum-of-two Anne-Marie has been by his side through his 'lowest depths' and her unwavering support has helped him on the road to recovery

TROUBLED Ant McPartlin has found love again — with his personal assistant.
His romance with Anne-Marie Corbett blossomed as she supported the star, 42, through drink and drug problems.
Hat's my girl... Beaming Ant is seen during a day out with Anne-Marie. The couple grew close during Ant's drink-driving and rehab ordeals of the last few months
The separated mum, 42, also stood by Ant — who is divorcing his wife — during his drink-driving crash shame.
A source said: "Anne-Marie's put him back together again. Everyone's thrilled he's found someone to love."
She was pictured walking Ant's dog with him in The Sun on Sunday in April after he left rehab.
One told The Sun on Sunday: "He's had a tough time of it, but Anne-Marie has put a smile back on his face again. She has been his rock.

"They have been living in each other's pockets, day in, day out.
"Knowing someone is there for him has brought him back from the brink — she's put him back together again.
"It's very early days, but everyone is hoping he can put the worst year of his life behind him and find happiness again. Both of them deserve it."
In a show of support and commitment, Anne-Marie was with Ant when he was taken to a police station after his arrest for drink-driving in March — and again when he appeared in court.

The I'm A Celebrity presenter was fined £86,000 and given a 20-month road ban.
Anne-Marie has been on hand any time he feels he needs help to overcome any urges to drink.
She separated from her husband Scott last October. They have two children.
Sources stressed Ant was not linked in any way to her marriage break-up.

Ant McPartlin apologises for drink-driving crash and is fined £86,000 with a 20 month driving ban
In January this year, Ant announced he was divorcing his wife of 11 years, Lisa Armstrong.
They have been having legal discussions but there have been no divorce hearings in court so far.
Ant's new relationship echoes that of his devoted TV partner Declan Donnelly.
Dec, 42, is expecting his first child with wife Ali Astall in September.
They had also worked together. Ali was Dec and Ant's manager.
Lovely cuppa... Seems romance is brewing as pair stop for drinkCredit: Flynet Pictures
Anne-Marie has been employed by the same London-based management company as Ali for ten years but only recently began working closely with Ant.
The source added: "She's been at his side for this whole ordeal, often when everyone else has gone away.
"His lowest moment was when the drink-drive case judge said he had lost his good character, but Anne-Marie stayed supporting him.
"She has worked with him for a while as his PA and things have always been strictly professional.
"But recently something changed and they started becoming more than just friends.
"Both of them are single so they decided to try and see whether something could happen.

"They haven't actually been on any official dates but they've been seen together, with Ant always beaming from ear to ear. They don't live together, but have been living out of each other's pockets.
"Since he has come out of rehab, Ant can't really go out socialising, to restaurants or anything like that.
"It means he has spent an awful lot of time with her and has realised she's the one for him."
The pair have been seen together as early as March this year when she sent him off to work with a packed lunch. They were spotted again this month enjoying a shopping trip at Harrods, with Ant looking healthy and happy.

Ant has had to take time out from television to rebuild his life following his drink-drive shame and a spell in rehab.
He gave his blessing to partner Dec to present their Saturday Night Takeaway show alone. Dec went on to host the live finals of Britain's Got Talent without him.
Ant had previously entered rehab last summer for drug addiction after getting hooked on super-strong painkillers.
He exclusively told The Sun on Sunday how he got into the pills after a botched op on his knee in 2015 left him in agony.
Ant's new romance and recovery could mean he is ready to step back into the limelight.
Team . . . with Dec - who's been forced to 'go it alone' while his pal recovers
The insider added: "Anne-Marie has given Ant a whole new outlook. He's done so well since they got together romantically.
"Everyone knows he has ruled out TV work for now, but there's a possibility after summer he could decide to return to I'm A Celeb.
"That's how far things have changed — all thanks to Anne- Marie." Last night a spokesman for Ant declined to comment.

SHE'S A SHINING LIGHT
IT'S wonderful to see Ant with a smile on his face again after nearly a year of problems.
He was at his lowest ebb on the day he stood before a judge telling him his drink-drive conviction had cost him his reputation.
But Anne-Marie was there to support him and has stayed throughout his rehab.
She helped him back from the brink, an act Ant has acknowledged by falling for her.
There's still a long way to go as he continues his fight for health. But the nation will be willing him some happiness.
He must have had some desperately lonely moments. Having Anne-Marie by his side will have brightened those dark days.
It's no wonder he already regards her his rock.

With schools and Unis starting back, printers are important for many students. It can be annoying when finishing an essay or assignment to have to nip down to the library wait to be allocated a computer, print off what you need and get home, only to realise you forgot to add footers on the pages and have to nip back again.
Having a printer in the house can save a lot of hassle and they can be picked up cheaply and don't cost too much to run. Argos is a good place to find cheap printers. Argos printers range from £19.99 up to £49.99. They have all in one printers, wireless printers, laser printers and inkjet printers available.
For £19.99 you could walk home with the Epson Stylus S22 inkjet printer. This printer has a capacity of 100 sheets of paper and can print 28 ppm or 15 ppm if in colour. The printer does not come with a USB cable so that will have to be sorted out before you start as it is not wireless.

With this printer you can print, copy and scan, all of which can be important for students. It is wireless but does not come with a USB cable and it comes with a manufacturer's 1 year guarantee.
They have quite a good range available and you should find one to suit all your needs there.

Ot en Sien is a Dutch children's book series, written by Hindericus Scheepstra, a teacher in Drenthe, the Netherlands. It centers around two little children, a boy named Ot and a girl named Sien.

It was the start of a new method of writing children's books and had profound influence on Dutch elementary education in the first half of the twentieth century

The authors
Ot and Sien are the main characters in a series of Dutch children's tales that were very popular in the first half of the twentieth century. The first series titled  ('Close to home'), appeared in 1902. The second series  ('Still with mother'), followed in 1904. The author of the stories was Hindericus Scheepstra. However, he acted on the inspiration of Jan Ligthart, who had the intention to expose young people to what he considered a healthy daily family life. The illustrations were made by .

After WWII the stories of Ot and Sien gradually went out of fashion and they were often ridiculed for the unrealistic picture they gave of life in the province. A century after their appearance there is a revival in the interest for the publications and in 2004 an exposition was held, focusing mostly on the artwork by Jetses.

The characters
Ot (short for Otto) and Sien (short for e.g. Francine) are two next door neighbors, a boy and a girl. Their illustrations were based on two children that actually lived in Jetses' neighborhood. The stories are situated in Drenthe that was at the time the most impoverished province of the Netherlands where quite a few people were still living in dwellings constructed of peat and sods. The surrounding poverty is nowhere to be seen in the stories that depict a very idealized version of reality.

Ligthart's philosophy
What Ligthart intended was to give a description of the daily family interactions of the main characters as a means to set an idealized example "where from an early age Father and Mother relate to each other and to the children, where a civilized and wellwilling tone is dominant, where the parents give a living example of friendliness, adaptability and sacrifice on a daily basis, not only towards each other and the children, but also towards the servants and the guests"

Influence on education

Ligthart's philosophy was followed by many teachers in elementary schools in the Netherlands and the "Ot en Sien" books became a ubiquitous teaching tool for reading in elementary schools. This phenomenon lasted until late in the 1950s and is one of the most remarkable developments in education in the country. Generations of children in the ever more urbanizing and suburbanizing society grew up with an idyllic and rather unrealistic view of what family life should be like and apparently was like in the country side of Drenthe. Few city kids ever experienced that and their parents certainly did not have a servant in the house.
Knowing this, one is also aware that small-town life is usually less expensive. Still in the 1980s, Ot en Sien were very present in the lives of the children that grew up in Drenthe; their stories are a classic and loved both by young and old. They have left a strong impression on those who had the luck of having a simple and perhaps a somewhat naíve childhood, growing up in this province.

Monuments
In the Hague a statue of Ot and Sien was erected in 1930. The text was to read "In memory of Jan Ligthart" but his widow Marie Lion Cachet objected to this because she knew that her husband had not actually written the stories, although he had given his friend Scheepstra continuous advice. Scheepstra had the advantage that he was a Drenthe native and so could add a measure of local color to the stories. The inscription therefore was amended to "In memory of Jan Ligthart and H. Scheepstra". Later the town of Roden in Drenthe also dedicated a monument to Ot and Sien and their creators.

Dutch expressions

 , ('like Ot and Sien'): childishly simple.
 , ('From the time of Ot and Sien'): from the good old days, from olden days.

Football games are loud and overstimulating, even for normal fans. And Seattle prides itself on a raucous, impassioned game environment.
That's a challenge for fans with autism, who would otherwise be walking into a maelstrom of stressful influences. But the Seahawks just took steps to make that environment a little more accommodating: The team now offers special toolkits to fans on the autism spectrum, giving them some gear to improve their experience at the game.
The toolkits were supplied by the non-profit program "I'm A-OK," which is run by two women in Tulsa, Oklahoma. The women have contacted other NFL teams and have received interest in the toolkits, but the Seahawks were the first to make them available at games.
"We realized there were a few simple things we could do that would make a positive impact for Seahawks fans on the spectrum," said VP of Stadium Operations David Young, in a statement. "The toolkits are just the first step."
The kits feature both noise cancelling headphones and earplugs, since many children with autism are sensitive to noise. The kids also have a detailed game day schedule to help parents prep for every aspect of the visit to the stadium. A toy is included, as well as stickers and ID wristbands to let other fans know that the child may experience some difficulties at the game.
Sounds like a great, simple solution. Hopefully other NFL teams get on board quick -- and teams in other sports, too.

Q: 'Inheriting' function parameters I think this is kinda language-agnostic, but I'd like to know how this feature works in Java.
Let's suppose I have a function that reads a file using a Scanner:
void printFile(Scanner s) {
    while (s.hasNextLine()) {
        String line = s.nextLine();
        System.out.println(line);
    }
}

So, if I have several ways to simulate a file, using this function would be
String content = "foo\nbar\n";
printFile(new Scanner(content));

File file = new File("my/file.txt");
printFile(new Scanner(file));

InputStream input = new URL("http://www.somewebsite.com/a.txt").openStream();
printFile(new Scanner(input));

My question is, if I have several ways to simulate this file, how do I make it easier to use this function without having to enter new Scanner() every time I call it?
Some observations:

*

*This would be useful in two ways: ease of writing unit tests and simplifying the API for the user.

*Overloading the function solves the problem, however if the original function has several overloads, this could make the code ugly and/or complicate writing code, where the developer would have to read the documentation, write a corresponding overload and repeat.
