Casting Notes: Three Musketeers and MIB3
By: Justin Moody | Movie News | May 20, 2010
Both Men in Black 3 and The Three Musketeers have had significant cast updates within the past twenty-four hours. Let's check them out.
Men in Black 3: Jemaine Clement, the Emmy Award nominated star of Flight of the Conchords, is set to portray a villain in Men in Black 3.
Will Smith and director Barry Sonnenfeld have agreed to return to work with this sequel. However, Academy Award nominee Josh Brolin will be playing the character once portrayed by Tommy Lee Jones since much of the film takes place in 1969.
Clement will portray Boris, a villain who is both creepy and charming. He can be seen in this year's Dinner for Schmucks and received an Independent Spirit Award nomination for his work in last year's Gentlemen Broncos.
The Three Musketeers: British actress Juno Temple is in talks to portray the queen in Paul W.S. Anderson's upcoming 3-D adaptation of The Three Musketeers. The project begins shooting this September and will reunite the actress with Dirty Girl co-star Milla Jovovich.
Temple has been making quite an impression on the industry lately. She starred in Year One last year with Michael Cera and Jack Black and stars in Greenberg alongside Ben Stiller.

Woman to Watch: PepsiCo CEO Indra Nooyi
Under Indra Nooyi's leadership, PepsiCo thrived and became relevant once again.
Olivia McCall
Indian-American business executive Indra Nooyi has made the headlines last September when she was selected as one of Fortune's Most Powerful Women this 2017. The current chairman and CEO of PepsiCo placed second in the list, following Mary Barra of General Motors.
She previously held the top spot for five consecutive years starting in 2006. She is joined by fellow Indian entrepreneurs such as Chanda Kochhar of ICICI Bank and Shikha Sharma of Axis Bank.
The magazine selected her for the company's achievements during her administration such as PepsiCo's profits skyrocketing 16 percent amid the industry's struggle with changes in consumer trends and the launch of a premium-priced water line called LIFEWTR.
But before digging deeper into Nooyi's achievements throughout her career, let us get to know the woman that led PepsiCo to its current glory.
Before PepsiCo
Born in Chennai, India, Nooyi grew up with the aspirations of becoming the person she wanted to be. She and her siblings used to give speeches to their mother about the things they would do if they became the president, prime minister or chief minister. Then, their mother would pick the winner.
She finished her bachelor's degrees in Chemistry, Mathematics, and Physics from Madras Christian College of the University of Madras in 1974. She then took studied and finished her Post Graduate Program from the Indian Institute of Management Calcutta two years later and became a product manager for Johnson & Johnson and Mettur Beardsell, a textile company.
After her stint as a product manager, Nooyi then became a scholar at Yale School of Management for her master's degree in Public and Private Management.
The young Nooyi began her early corporate career in Boston Consulting Group, where she stayed for six years. Her gender and race became a challenge in demonstrating her talents in the corporate world. But these factors did not stop her from reaching the peak of her career, landing her the position of vice president and director of corporate strategy in Motorola.

Transforming PepsiCo
In 1994, Nooyi entered PepsiCo and took the company to new heights. She led the company to the completion of integration deals with companies such as Tropicana and Quaker Oats. Six years later, she became the CFO of PepsiCo. Then after Steven Reinemund's resignation, she took on the role of the company's president and CEO in 2006.
At the beginning of her term, Nooyi showed her brilliance in decision making as she watched over the $4.5 billion demerger deal of KFC, Pizza Hut, and Taco Bell. PepsiCo then used the cash from the deal to trim down its $8.5 billion deal. This decision gave the company some room to speed up its share buyback strategy, leading to more investment opportunities in the progression of the company's business.
Nooyi also successfully took the company to a new direction where she put placed its products into categories such as "fun for you," which is composed of potato chips and normal soda; "better for you," which comprises healthier snacks and sodas; and "good for you" for foods like oatmeal. She developed this initiative to address the problem of obesity.
Another accomplishment of Nooyi in PepsiCo is the improvement of the company's branding. She tapped Mauro Porcini, an Italian design expert, to work on creating a new logo and product design for the company. She also worked on improving marketing strategies.
One of the efforts in this initiative includes the development of a touchscreen fountain vending machine called the Pepsi Spire. The Spire reinvigorated the company's interaction with its consumers as they used what seems like an iPad and the device monitors the customers' preferences. In the next time customers get a hold of the Spire, it knows the flavors they want and even gives suggestions of flavors that customers may like.

These fresh ideas of Nooyi led her to several recognitions and acclaims. Aside from Fortune, Forbes chose to include her in its 100 Most Powerful Women list from the years 2007 to 2014. The US News & World Report included her in its list of America's Best Leaders in 2008.

Nooyi's managing and life advice
Following her inclusion in Fortune's Most Powerful Women list this year, the magazine discussed with her various issues such as the disastrous Pepsi ad with Kendall Jenner. She also shed some light on her personal life, particularly on how she handles her hectic lifestyle.
According to Nooyi, women need to know more about arranging things by importance and putting them into categories. She writes down a to-do list containing 50 to 60 items and splits them into two columns. One side is for her personal life, and the other is for her career. If she failed to accomplish some tasks at the end of a day, she then carries them over to the next day.
Nooyi also writes on a notepad stashed near her bed to list the things she suddenly remembers that needs to be done. After that, she then copies these things to her to-do list.
Finally, one of the things she realized in life is that she stopped doing a lot of things she loves in order to give more time to do other things. What she did to cope with this concern is that she searched for "little joys" and snuck them into her schedule to alleviate her from the stress, which is a method that she encourages other women should do as well.

New Tests for Giannis and Jabari
Eric Nehm December 10, 2015
Quick Bucks 0
With O.J. Mayo starting at point guard, Giannis Antetokounmpo and Jabari Parker are facing new developmental challenges. Plus: previewing Saturday's game against the Golden State Warriors, stats of the week, and more.
Player Development. It's a term used by NBA teams for job titles, buzz-worded clichés and easy talking points, but, this year in Milwaukee, it is really the only term that matters. Unfortunately, it is quite difficult to predict, define, or track.
Obviously, when discussing player development, Bucks fans will immediately think of the two young players many are ready to entrust with the future of the franchise — Giannis Antetokounmpo and Jabari Parker.
Much has been in the last week of O.J. Mayo replacing Michael Carter-Williams as point guard in the the Bucks' starting lineup. The change has been viewed as one that will ultimately help the Bucks' two young stars take over games and a greater responsibility for the Bucks' offensive success.
In the first game against the Knicks (Game 21), this shift was evident as both Parker and Antetokounmpo seemed to be more active and assertive on offense. In fact, both players set season highs for touches on the offensive end.
While Parker's touches have been more plentiful in the three games Mayo has started at point guard, Antetokoumpo's have shrunk in consecutive games, which helps make a greater point about player development. Though we often try to imagine player growth as a perfect linear progression, it is wildly erratic. Players don't magically become new players upon getting a new role. There are ups and downs. There are periods of growth followed by a month of struggles.
There is no telling what will happen as these two young players continue to grow and get thrust in to new (and ever-changing) roles. Their coaches and teammates can help at times by putting them in positive situations, which the organization certainly will do, but ultimately it's up to them to work through potential struggles and figure out how to solve problems on the floor.
"On the offensive end, it's not just shooting the ball, but setting screens and getting a teammate open. Or finding an open teammate because they are playmakers," said coach Jason Kidd of Antetokounmpo and Parker, after the Bucks lost to the Clippers on Wednesday. "But they're young and they're going to make mistakes and we have to help them through it."
As the season has progressed, teams have started to change their defensive strategies and have made things tougher for Antetokounmpo and Parker. Many have wondered why the Bucks don't run more plays for them, but it's tough to involve them in any sort of offensive action when their defenders regularly sag ten feet off of both players. (See Parker and Antetokounmpo's shooting stats in Stats of the Week below.)
For two players with such tremendous athleticism, the coming weeks will be a new test that they can't pass by jumping over someone or sidestepping a defender. They are currently being forced to face their first mental test on their developmental path, and will need to take and make shots they've been struggling with or find other ways to affect games.
As always, there is no way of telling if the test will be completed in one game, one week, one month, or one year. While we can't be sure of much when it comes to player development, we can be sure that in the NBA, there will always be another test for Giannis Antetokounmpo and Jabari Parker.
Clutch shooting by Juiceman in the closing seconds!! #OwnTheFuture https://t.co/FqMvuAys2U
— Milwaukee Bucks (@Bucks) December 8, 2015
What else could I put in this space? The return of THE PLAY. The Bucks used this play in crunch time of the first game last season and ran it over and over again in tight spots as the season went on. After the game, I asked Greg Monroe about how comfortable he was with the play since this was his first season with the Bucks, but he seemed pretty comfortable with it.
"That was a new play," Monroe joked, with a smile on his face. "I think that one was new."
The NBA at the first quarter buzzer – This week, Zach Lowe took a look at some of the teams around the league that are struggling with their identity and started in Milwaukee. He covered the Bucks' defensive problems and how they can attempt to put together a lineup with so few shooters.
The more the Bucks are about Giannis and Jabari, the happier everyone will be – Since Bucksketball's Jeremy Schmidt wrote this piece, I have been arguing with him about the effectiveness of O.J. Mayo the Point Guard and it served as a jumping off point for this week's Quick Bucks. Thought-provoking and fun piece.
What are the most important questions facing the Milwaukee Bucks right now? – The Brew Hoop Staff (myself included) tried to create the most important questions facing the Bucks right now. Rather than try to answer those questions, they tried to explain why the questions were so important to the future of the Bucks.
Friday – The Bucks could not overcome a lackluster second quarter and eventually fell to the Pistons 102-95. After being outplayed by former teammate Greg Monroe in the second half of their first meeting in November, Andre Drummond had a huge game with 17 points and 23 rebounds.
Saturday – In their first of three straight home games, the Bucks flipped the normal script for this season and put together a 21-4 run at the start of the third quarter to distance themselves from the Knicks on the way to a 106-91 victory.
Monday – For the first time in over a month, Milwaukee was able to put together back-to-back wins with a last-second 90-88 victory over the Portland Trail Blazers. The ending was spectacular with the Bucks erasing a four point deficit with less than two minutes left in the game.
Wednesday – J.J. Redick got hot and scored 31 points against the Bucks in a 109-95 defeat. Michael Carter Williams went for 20 points and 11 assists off the bench for the Bucks, but it was simply not enough as the Bucks starters couldn't stop the Clippers' starters.
Next Week's Preview
Friday – The Raptors may still be reeling from a knee injury to their biggest free agent signing DeMarre Carroll, but they'll just lean on Kyle Lowry a bit more, who has been fantastic thus far this season.
Saturday – Could they have survived in the 90s? Could they compete with the '96 Bulls? Who cares. The Warriors are dominating the league and have yet to lose a game. If they beat the Celtics on Friday night, they will be 24-0 as they head to heading into their game against the Bucks.
Tuesday – The Bucks will play in Los Angeles for two consecutive nights and they get the easier of their opponents on night one. The Lakers have struggled this season as Byron Scott has tried to figure out the right way to balance properly honoring Kobe Bryant in his farewell season and developing the organization's young players.
Wednesday – In their second night in the Staples Center visiting locker room, the Bucks will get another chance to slow down the Clippers after falling to them in Milwaukee one week prior.
Stats of the Week
160 – Giannis Antetokounmpo has taken 160 of his 257 shots this season within five feet of the basket. That would be 62.26 percent of his shots. (Parker has taken 56.76 percent of his shots from that range.
24.49 – Jabari Parker has made just 24.49 percent of his shots (12-of-49) outside of eight feet from the basket. (Antetokounmpo has hit just 28.95 percent on the 76 shots he has taken from that same range.)
73.81 – NBA.com defines an open shot as a shot in which the nearest defender is four or more feet away from you. 73.81 percent of Antetokounmpo's shots outside of eight feet were open, while 63.79 percent of Parker's shots outside of eight feet were open.

You can also find his work at SBNation's Brew Hoop or you can find him on Twitter @eric_nehm, where he would love to know when you think the Bucks will trail the Warriors by ten points for the first time on Saturday night.

Nearly 70,000 arrests were made in 2017 for driving while intoxicated (DWI). Police have made it one of their top priorities to keep drunk drivers off the road. If you drink and drive, you could find yourself the subject of a DWI investigation.
DWI (also known as driving under the influence, or DUI) is one of the most common violations that Texas motorists commit. A DWI on your record can have long-lasting consequences. If you're facing DWI charges, it would be wise to talk to a knowledgeable DWI attorney.
Everyone makes mistakes. Law Offices of Richard C. McConathy is here to provide the best possible defense against your charge. Representing yourself in a DWI case is inadvisable. It takes years of experience to understand the intricacies of the Dallas court system and DWI law.
After you're pulled over for suspicion of drunk driving, you'll need to call your lawyer at your first opportunity. If you've already been arrested, we offer a free consultation to discuss your DUI case.
Call (972) 233-5700 or complete our online form to get started. One of our attorneys will review details of your case and help determine how to proceed. Whenever possible, we will aim to reduce or dismiss your charges. Our firm represents DFW clients like you in Denton, Dallas, Tarrant, and Collin Counties.
What's the Difference Between DWI and DUI in Texas?
Driving under the influence (DUI) and driving while intoxicated (DWI) are often used interchangeably. Both laws involve operating a motor vehicle while impaired. However, there is a legal difference between the two charges.
While the legal blood- or breath-alcohol content (BAC) amount for adults behind the wheel is 0.08%, a zero-tolerance policy applies to drivers younger than 21. If a minor is pulled over with a BAC reading greater than 0.0, they can be arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol (DUIA).
An adult with a BAC that measures 0.08% or greater will certainly be charged with DWI. However, you may also be arrested for driving while intoxicated even if your BAC is within the legal limit. This type of arrest occurs when the officer determines that a person is too inebriated to make normal use of their mental or physical faculties.
If a police officer suspects that you've been drinking, you may be asked to take a set of field sobriety tests. These usually consist of the following: the horizontal gaze nystagmus (HGN) test, the walk-and-turn test, and the one-leg stand test. The tests are designed to help law enforcement develop evidence of your intoxication.
What the police probably won't tell you is that you're not legally obligated to submit to these tests. In fact, you can be arrested even after passing every field sobriety test if the police still suspect that you are intoxicated.
The main purpose of field sobriety tests is to help law enforcement establish in court that they had probable cause to initiate the traffic stop. If you've had anything to drink, or if there are any drugs in your system, it may be to your benefit to refuse.
If you're sober but refuse, the police officer will likely use your refusal as probable cause to arrest you anyway. The attorneys at the Law Offices of Richard C. McConathy can advise you of the best practices to follow when interacting with law enforcement.
If you're lucky, the officer who pulled you over will be friendly. He'll ask questions that you don't see any harm in answering. You might be tempted to try to explain your way out of the situation.
But when a police officer advises you of your right to remain silent, it's recommended that you exercise that right. You may politely refuse to answer any questions until you have an attorney present. The information you provide to the police will almost always be used against you, not in your favor.
So what information must you provide the police by law? When you're pulled over, you are legally required to provide your license, insurance card, and proof of registration. After you're placed under arrest, you must give the officer your real name, home address, and date of birth upon request.
The experienced DWI attorneys at the Law Offices of Richard C. McConathy can answer any additional questions about what to say – and what not to say – during a police encounter. Contact us to schedule your free consultation.
When the police request that you submit to a breath, urine, or blood test, you have a choice to make. If you refuse to take the test, your license will be automatically be suspended in accordance with Section 521.344 of the Transportation Code.
If you've never refused a DWI chemical test before, your license will be suspended for 180 days. For each subsequent refusal, your license will be suspended for two years.
If the police still wish to obtain a reading of your blood-alcohol level after you refuse to submit to their chemical tests, they will need to obtain a search warrant. If you're convicted of DWI, your license will be suspended anyway. If you volunteer to provide evidence to the police, you're just handing them evidence to use against you. Make them work for it.
If you're unsure whether you should refuse a blood, breath, or urine test, contact one of our DWI defense attorneys to have your questions answered during your free consultation.

Israel moves to build 3K new settlement homes
PUBLISHED: November 29, 2012 at 11:01 p.m. | UPDATED: November 10, 2015 at 4:05 a.m.
JERUSALEM — Israel responded swiftly Friday to U.N. recognition of a Palestinian state, revealing it will build 3,000 more homes for Jews on Israeli-occupied lands that the world body overwhelmingly said belong to the Palestinians.
The plans also include future construction in a strategic area of the West Bank where critics have long warned that Jewish settlements would kill hopes for a viable Palestinian state.
Israel's moves served as a harsh reminder to Palestinians — euphoric over the U.N. upgrade — that while they now have a state on paper, most of it remains very much under Israeli control.
"This is a doomsday scenario," Daniel Seidemann of Ir Amim, a group that promotes coexistence in Jerusalem, said of the building plans.
Israel's decision was bound to embarrass the United States, which was among just nine countries in the 193-member General Assembly to vote against accepting Palestine as a nonmember observer state.
Accelerated settlement construction could also set a more confrontational tone as Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas weighs his next moves.
In Washington, State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland criticized the Israeli announcement. "These actions are counterproductive and make it harder to resume direct negotiations or achieve a two-state solution," she said.
Friday's decision was taken by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and eight senior Cabinet ministers, according to the Israeli news website Ynet.
Palestinian U.N. envoy Riyad Mansour accused Israel on Friday of carrying out "an immediate provocation" by announcing the expansion of settlements, which he denounced as illegal.
The plans include 3,000 new apartments in the West Bank and East Jerusalem, as well as preparations for new construction in other large West Bank settlements, including Maaleh Adumim, near East Jerusalem, said an Israeli government official.
Successive U.S. administrations have pressured Israel not to build in Maaleh Adumim, known as E-1, because it would effectively cut off East Jerusalem from the West Bank and split the northern part of the territory from the southern part. Israel has said in the past it envisions 3,500 apartments there.

We have a serious "pants on the ground" issue going on over here.
Why is it that my kids love stripping off their pants and diapers to feel the December air flow past their bums?! It's incredibly funny and so irritating at the same time!
My Eli, bless his sweet heart, enjoys reaching into his pants and pulling off one of the diaper tabs. He then runs around the living room with the diaper tab flapping in the breeze. He's been doing this for a few weeks, but we normally just refasten it and send him on his way. Not a huge deal because he normally leaves his pants on.
It started like any other day. We got up in the morning, I changed the kids from their PJs into their day clothes, and headed into the kitchen to fix breakfast. That's when I saw the two shirtless wonders whizzing past the gate.
That's the first time they've both managed to get their shirts off at the same time, and they were thoroughly enjoying it! So many giggles and laughs, I had to take a picture. I put their shirts back on, but they were quickly removed again after breakfast.
Oh well. I turned the heat up a degree. Boys will be boys, right?
And then he went back to running on the couch again and then back to the floor while laughing and squealing the entire time.
This boy was having the time of his life! He wasn't wasting anytime getting in as much movement as he possibly could until Mommy decided to be a party pooper and force him back into a diaper and pants.
I was so thankful and exhausted when morning nap time finally arrived. I felt like all I did was chase naked children and pick up laundry all morning. Of course, then I heard a holler from the bedroom and went up to find Elijah stark naked again and having peed all over this crib.
Can you imagine trying to explain these antics in full detail for someone not there to see them? I did show Sean the photos when he got home, but I don't think it made a total impact until Elijah decided to demonstrate his new skill for Daddy after dinner. Only this time he pooped, then took off his diaper, and then started flicking what should have most definitely remained in the diaper around the room. Good heavens!
And he isn't the only one stripping (I can't get Ellie to leave her pants at all, and she's been caught diaper-less in her crib a couple of times), but he is certainly the one who feels the most freedom when he comes to embracing his birthday suit.
I can't be the only mother whose kids have decided that this is a fun pastime. Do you have any crazy stories like this??
My twins love taking off their pants and diapers. I have to keep them snapped into a onesie or in zippered PJs (with the top safety pinned so they don't unzip it) otherwise they get naked really fast. If they are in their cribs, they like to get naked and "paint".
Onesies do make it a little harder to get access, and we've used duct tape around the top of the diaper too. I haven't tried the safety pin thing yet, but I'm sure that's next! Thanks for the idea!
Looks like its potty training time!
Not sure if this Mama is ready for that yet! Can you imagine potty train four at the same time? I can't...yikes!
Haha! We cosleep and one night I went to snuggle with my daughter. I put my arm around her and immediately woke up because I was snuggling a bare bum! I have no idea when she took the diaper off but we managed to avoid pee on the bed. *Usually* a Flip cloth diaper cover over top of a disposable will keep the disposables on her.
I bet that was quite the surprise! Lol! I'm glad you caught it before you had to change all of the sheets though! I hadn't thought about using a cloth diaper over the top of the disposable one, but that's a great idea! Thanks for passing it on!
They take them off because they can. They are just learning their world and exploring. They will get over it and if you don't make it a shameful thing or a game of wills you all will be happy in the end. They are too young to potty train or to put into fun "big people" pants. Maybe one of those incredibly talented grandmas or aunts back there can make some dolls that are about the same size as the kids and let them learn to dress and undress them that will take some of the energy and redirect it. But in the end they are just learning about their clothes and bodies and they will go on to something else if it doesn't become a battle of wills. Just had a great 3 days with G.Grandma Twilla and hope to come back to Kansas next year.
This reminds me of a post I saw on another quad mom's blog that I follow: http://coxquads.blogspot.com/2011/12/double-naked-trouble.html.
Good luck keeping your sweeties dressed and diapered!
I hadn't heard of the overalls idea! Thanks for sharing that!
I read on another quad blog (I believe it was 4tunate), that they had to break out the duck tape. Just add this to another of the 101 uses.
I have 4 girls and used to do daycare. As soon as they started taking their own diapers off it was time to start potty training. I've had great success and no one over the age of 2 in diapers. All we did was when they took their diapers off it was time to sit on the potty. Then put a diaper back on. We didn't do pull-ups either. Those are more expensive and feel like diapers to them anyways. If you wait to potty train it makes it much harder bcuz you have already taught them they should keep their diapers on no matter what. Potty time is always before and after naps, and eating times. They will get the hang of it so quick you won't even realize it. Don't make sitting on the potty a chore. It's something fun (but not too fun to encourage playing) and always praise if they do something. We just do clapping and a big Yeah. Also if you ask them and they say no, they most usually go with in 10 min. They may not have had to go but you reminded them and now they will.
Oh goodness...I'm not sure I'm brave enough to start potty training yet. Maybe by summer, I will have worked up enough courage. It sounds like you have definitely perfected the art though! When you were potty training, did you keep a potty stool in the same room they were playing in for quick and easy access? Or did you take each child to the bathroom every time?
And wow! Painting the TV with poop...so gross! TV watching would never be the same again!
You really should try sticking them on the potty and praising them if they go there, per Mary's advice. Don't be scared. If they catch on you'll be so proud and glad! You're going to have to put in the time investment to potty train sometime anyhow.
Jedidiah is already pooping in his little infant potty - at 2 months 11 days! We take him and hold him over it after eating and waking and whenever we have the intuition that he's cueing us to go. Sometimes we miss and he goes in his diaper anyway, but that's probably only 1/4th of the time. :) I'm hoping he'll be diaper-free soon after he can walk.
Thanks for stopping by! I'm looking forward to checking out your sites!
Oh that is too funny (and cute)!! I kept thinking of that "Pants on the Ground" song when reading your post. Lol!!
I am so happy I am not the only one! I have 3 boys 4,10 and 11 and I still long for non naked days! As for my 11 year old it got better not perfect around 7!


How Kobe Bryant's shoe design and Kung Fu influenced Serena Williams' new Nike shoe for Wimbledon 2015.
You can credit Kobe Bryant and the Kung Fu philosophy for the design of Serena Williams' completely new on-court footwear for Wimbledon 2015.
As Nike designer Aaron Cooper worked with Serena, creating the first on-court shoe engineered specifically for the dominating American, it was a small strain of Serena worry that helped shape the new NikeCourt Flare.
That's where Kobe's signature basketball line makes an impact on the Serena-focused NikeCourt Flare. Cooper says convincing Williams that she should switch her thinking from bulk to streamline started with showing her the evolution of Kobe's line and how his designs have turned more flexible and with a lower profile.
But Cooper wasn't going to copy the Kobe basketball shoe for the tennis court. He needed a different source on which to base his design. And he chose Kung Fu.
While not new at Nike, as the Kung Fu-inspired prototype resting inside the Oregon company's design center has already spawned sneakers for training and basketball, Cooper grabbed hold of the concept of creating an ankle cuff. Using neoprene, Cooper built a sleeve for Williams' ankle—giving her the feeling of stability to increase her confidence of movement—while keeping the rest of the shoe a flexible low profile.
The cuff connects to an internal bootie and a midsole that doesn't bond to the shoe, upping the cushioning quotient. With the material hugging the foot and ankle created, the NikeCourt Flare design went minimal on the shoe's upper portion with composite materials designed for breathability and durability.
And instead of giving Williams a plank of rubber for the outsole, Cooper used pressure-mapping data to determine where exactly the shoe needed the most material for durability, allowing him to cut away material in other locations for a lighter, more flexible sole.
The NikeCourt Flare was designed with Kobe and Kung Fu in mind. Now it's up to Serena Williams to channel all the inspiration into tennis.


Problems include: prison overcrowding, lack of alternatives to imprisonment, little training for criminal justice officials and lack of specialised systems and measures for vulnerable groups, including women and child detainees.
We provided training, resources, guidance, technical assistance and advocacy support on international criminal justice standards and best practice in these areas.

Amid reports that they're going through a rough patch, Kylie Jenner & Travis Scott are designating some time off from their busy careers to enjoy a carefree vacay.
Kylie Jenner, 21, and Travis Scott, 27, have the perfect remedy for their reportedly shaky romance: a luxurious vacation. The two stars are planning a family vacation with baby Stormi according to TMZ, and want to depart as soon as Travis takes a break from his Astroworld tour. It will be their first order of business when the tour takes a break on March 26, and they are seeking a trip with no distractions, the outlet reports. They hope to spend plenty of quality time with little Stormi and hope the trip will heal their damaged relationship, TMZ adds.
While there's no designated location for their trip just yet, TMZ was told they're looking to "find a beach in another country, where they can relax in peace." The report comes after the couple enjoyed a date night in Los Angeles on March 21, which marked the first sighting of the couple since reports surfaced that she feared he was cheating. The pair enjoyed dinner at Sweet Chick and were seen departing the establishment together, before hopping in the same car. There were no signs of trouble in paradise from the two as they exited the well-known chicken and waffles joint.
It's been nearly a month since we first heard rumblings of a rift between the usually loving pair, after reports surfaced that Kylie Jenner allegedly discovered "evidence" that Travis had cheated on her. However, Travis vehemently denied the rumors. While it was initially reported he missed his Feb. 28 tour stop to fly home and patch things up with Kylie, his rep said differently. "The reason he stayed home from his show tonight was very much because of illness," the rep told E! News.
Here's to hoping some fun in the sun and well deserved R&R puts this cheating saga to rest. Travis may have been on the road for much of 2019, but what better way to rekindle a relationship than a beach getaway?

The-Hogs.net > NFL Draft > Top 32 Overall
By Scott Moore | March 1st, 2004
1. Sean Taylor
Taylor is simply the most prepared, most talented, best player in the draft. He's big, strong, tough and very competitive. He'll be a instant starter in the NFL – and we're betting instant Pro Bowl – starter too.
2. Steven Jackson
Our previously ranked #1 didn't do anything to drop in our rankings. He's going to be an outstanding Pro. Jackson will be the 'coulda, woulda, shoulda' pick in the draft. He probably won't be drafted in the top 10. He'll remind GM's of that fact often.
3. Mike Williams
We were shocked to see the USC wide-out declare for the draft. He was so impressive, we had penciled him in for the best player in '05. In his brief college career, Mike Williams was a man among boys. At the next level, he'll beat Randy Moss' numbers and not be Randy Moss in the locker room.
4. Kellen Winslow, Jr.
Tight Ends rarely rank this high overall. But Winslow has a skill package that will draw the attention of every NFL team. He's a complete TE, with H-back potential. Winslow is ready to play at the next level – and he'll make his Daddy very proud.
5. Larry Fitzgerald
Another youngster coming out early. Size, speed, ability, agility, game-breaker… oh, by the way, he's FAST too. In the top 5, and probably ranked too low – but it's crowded at the top! Great college player, will prove to be just as good at the next level.
Big Ben is a pure stud! He's got size, good feet, a very good arm and intelligence. Our Top rated QB, he's most valuable as a leader. He may not have the NFL family ties, but he's got everything it takes to be a winner.
7. Roy Williams
Let's see… size, speed, good ball skills, man among boys in college… what can we say, Roy Williams is going to make someone very happy in the NFL. Throughout his career he'll be measured against the other Williams and Fitzgerald. Don't be too surprised if he's on top in the comparisons.
8. DJ Williams
A line-backer who can run like the wind, hit like a train and pounce like a mountain lion. In a star-studded lineup at Miami, Williams had to share the spot-light. He'll do the same at the next level. This DJ will crank out the hits!
9. Eli Manning
We know, we know… he's ranked too low. But hey, Eli used to it. "Your Dad was great. Your Brother IS great." How much pressure is going to be applied to Eli? Too much, too early – but he'll end up tougher for it in the long-run. Eli's got all the physical tools and skills and leadership ability to make it.
10. Vince Wilfork
Imagine a younger, stronger, faster, more talented – less-mouthy Warren Sapp… meet Vince Wilfork. Double-teams were routine in college, if not a triple-team. He'll create all kinds of problems in the NFL, the right kind of problems.
11. Robert Gallery
The best OL in the draft. Left Tackles are at a premium, and Gallery will be able to adapt his game to the next level. If your O-line needs help, this kid is going to bring a bodyguard/ chief of security/ mean-streak bouncer – attitude to the party.
12. Kenechi Udeze
A game-changing body with speed to burn. Udeze is young, and might have benefited from another year at USC – but their loss is the NFL's gain. He'll be a great addition to anyone in need of a nightmarish DE. QB's Beware!
13. Derrick Strait
Strait was only the best CB for the best defense in college football. Maybe you didn't notice – but Strait can play the corner as well as anyone. He's got excellent ball skills, a knack for making big plays – and he's not afraid to tackle… what's not to like?
14. Phil Rivers
Rivers gained ground on our top rated QB's. At one point, we were calling Rivers the 'Patrick Ramsey of '04' – but Rivers has asserted himself well. His Combine performance, along with his all-star games have given Rivers a serious edge. Some teams won't be too antsy with Big Ben and Eli gone… they'll lay back and wait for Rivers – and won't be at all disappointed.
15. Tommie Harris
Harris has great speed. He'll be able to play inside or outside at the next level. He's got to learn better technique – but we don't doubt he will. He'll have to add a few pounds to play inside, and add some strength. In the pro-day workouts, Harris might move up considerably.
16. Reggie Williams
When in doubt – draft a Williams. This time it's youthful talent of Reggie Williams. He's big, very fast and good with the ball. He'll be able to make up for his inexperience with some hard work. Reggie Williams won't be anyones consolation prize – he's a bona fide first-rounder in a crowded WR draft.
17. Marcus Tubbs
This Longhorn DT is a workhorse. He's added some muscle and improved his footwork. Probably the most impressive DT at the NFL Combine – Tubbs is worthy of a ranking in our Top 20. Higher than most, but he's going to be a star.
18. Rashaun Woods
At Oklahoma State, Woods was a solid stud. He's got great hands and runs better than most people give him credit for. When the ball is in the air – it belongs to Rashaun Woods. He'll show you soon enough.
19. Shaun Phillips
He's gone under the radar in the 'Year of the WR.' At DE or at LB, he'll be a force. Beyond good size and speed, Phillips plays with a great will to win. Another guy not rated highly by other folks – but we like him a lot!
20. Kevin Jones
A bit of a disappointing '04 campaign, but don't be fooled. Jones is a talented, NFL caliber back. If he has a chance to showcase his ability to catch the ball out of the backfield, he'd be perfect in a West Coast offense.
21. Chris Perry
Perry faced the best of the best in college – and excelled. He may well prove himself to be the best RB in the draft. He's tough, runs well inside, runs well outside, catches the ball out of the backfield and has breakaway speed.
22. Chris Gamble
Gamble is gifted. He's got size, speed and ability at several positions on the field. At Cornerback, he'll find NFL WR's a bit harder to handle. If he applies himself and works hard – Chris Gamble just might be a lock-down corner at the next level.
23. Shane Andrews
The only other OL in our Top 32, Andrews has size, size and he's big too. Even guys in the NFL will have to take a cab to get around this kid! He's surprisingly fleet-footed for a guy 6'5″ and 371 lbs.
24. DeAngelo Hall
Exactly 23 spots lower than DeAngelo Hall will tell you he should be ranked. But it ain't braggin' if you can back it up! Hall will learn the ropes in the NFL as a DB, but will make an immediate impact on Special Teams as a return man.
25. Ben Troupe
A 'man's man' TE with talent galore. He's a good offensive lineman and unselfish, intelligent football player. He's not afraid to give up his body to make the tough catch either… a nice combination for any TE. Troupe is very special!
26. Randy Starks
Fighting his way back from injuries might scare some GM's, but when you're in a fight – you want this guy on your side. He's a mauler, brawler, tough guy. He's technically sound and uses leverage well. Once the questions about his health are clear – he's worth a very high pick… trust us.
27. Michael Jenkins
Ohio State's WR catches everything you throw at him. He runs good routes, blocks down field and finds ways to put the ball in the end zone. He can run, jump and catch with the best of them. Jenkins is one of the players that makes GM's and coaches look good.
28. Lee Evans
No question about it – Lee Evans is an NFL WR. Here's a kid that worked his way back from a serious knee injury – only to put up a FASTER 40-time than before he got hurt. He's a dedicated student of the game and a great guy off the field too.
29. Karlos Dansby
Great size and ability to play inside or outside linebacker puts Dansby in our Top 32. If Auburn had been more fortunate on the field, Dansby would be better known. As it is – he'll be a steal.
30. Dunta Robinson
Literally burst on the scene at the NFL Combine. He posted what some scouts are calling, 'sub- 4.3' speed. He's got talent as a cover man, but speed is so critical in today's NFL – Robinson will garner a lot of attention.
31. Cedric Cobbs
All this guy has ever done is produce, produce, produce. Quietly, he's risen to our #31 spot and just may keep moving up the charts in NFL War Rooms around the nation.
32. Vernon Carey
Another Hurricane? Yes, and a tough offensive lineman that will be able to start at OG in the NFL in '04. In the right system, he'll move to OLT in a few years and land in the Pro Bowl year after year.

India's rapid social and economic transformation has seen it take its place as one of today's great economies, having recently overtaken Japan as the world's third largest economy in purchasing power terms. In 2010-2011, India was the fourth largest destination for Australian goods and services worldwide, with coal, gold and education the main exports.
India's appetite for Australian resources continues to grow, and this growth will provide businesses in both countries with unique cross-border trade opportunities in the years ahead. Australia, the world's largest thermal coal exporter, provides a cost-effective solution for India's need to double its electricity supply within the next 10 years. Australia and India are also co-operating in critical new areas such as water management, new and renewable energies and food security.
Australian business can look forward to an expected $20 billion in Indian investment by the end of the decade. Given the massive demand for coal to fuel India's power stations, we expect the strong focus on the resources sector to continue.
Our India practice specialises in facilitating cross-border engagement. For the second year running, Corrs has been recognised by the India Business Law Journal as one of the leading firms globally for its India-related work.
The Corrs India Business Group has helped many Indian and Australian clients establish operations in Australia/India. We've advised on mergers and acquisitions, litigation, joint ventures, intellectual property protection, tendering and information technology agreements and data transfer/privacy obligations.
Regular visits to India, a strong relationship with the Australia-India Business Council and participation in an Austrade investment road show have deepened our direct engagement with Indian companies, investment banks, law firms and accountants. These relationships have enhanced our understanding of the local business landscape and cultural sensitivities, and enable us to provide consistently high quality advice to clients in both countries.

Because Corrs Chambers Westgarth understands the key priorities and special circumstances of Indian investors, we have been called upon to help many of India's leading entities secure deals in Australia.
NMDC on its acquisition of a 50% equity interest in ASX-listed mining company Legacy Iron Ore Ltd.
Aditya Birla on its acquisition of the Mt Gordon copper mine.
Many of India's leading technology companies in relation to their ongoing operations in Australia, including TCS, Mahindra Satyam, Infosys and Birlasoft.
Corrs helped Deakin University establish and provide educational services through its research institute in Karnataka, India.
India's largest coal importer, Adani Group, turned to Corrs Chambers Westgarth to help it acquire the Carmichael Coal Project in Queensland's Galilee Basin from Linc Energy, a transaction reported to be the largest-ever investment by an Indian company in the Australian resources sector.
Corrs Chambers Westgarth advised the State Bank of India in respect of India's largest coal importer, Adani's, financing of the acquisition of the Abbot Point Coal Terminal.
Adani bought the Abbot Point Coal Terminal in Queensland for US$1.98 billion.
Opportunities for business between Australia and India are set to flourish.
Now is the time for Australia to position itself at the centre of India's focus.
Countries that fail to adopt BIMs risk being left behind in the global construction sector.
Opinion piece published in The Australian Financial Review on Friday 2 November by Asian Century White Paper panel member and Corrs CEO John W. H. Denton.
The Asian Century White Paper sets 25 national goals, but two stand out. The connections we make with Asia and the capabilities we need to do that.
Outsourcing business functions to lower cost countries is no longer optional for many businesses - it is a commercial imperative to stay competitive. But there are many pitfalls for the unwary.
The Asian Century phenomenon is having huge impacts worldwide.
In efforts to promote the competitiveness of India as an investment destination, and to attract increased foreign direct investment, the Government of India has recently eased the country's FDI procedures.
At a time when Australia is considering its position in the Asian Century, the Foreign Investment Review Board has released its 2010/2011 Annual Report.

When Chris was diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) at four and a half years old, his parents were left searching for answers. At the time of their son's diagnosis in the mid-90's, the internet wasn't as abundant with reliable information as it is today, so their first reaction was a feeling of helplessness. They quickly began exploring every avenue to find ways to provide Chris with the assistance he needed to live his fullest life.
"At the time, we didn't know what to do. There were very few resources as to how to proceed if he needed any type of special education or anything like that," said Chris' father, Bill. "That's one of the things Autism Speaks now provides."
"I was trying to find books about autism and to learn everything I could," said Chris' mom, Marci. "I didn't know anybody who had a child with autism, so it wasn't something I had help with or could talk to someone or share my concerns. Today, I tell everyone who asks to rely on Autism Speaks. They tell you what to do during the first 100 days of diagnosis. [They offer] videos of what to do when you take your child to get a haircut and everything beyond. There's so much information on their website, and I urge everyone to go there with any questions they might have."
With the help of his family, his former elementary school teacher and current life coach Heather, and a variety of therapies including Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), Chris learned to overcome many of the obstacles that stood in the way of living a fulfilling, independent life as a child. Today, Chris is a witty, strong-minded, thriving 27-year-old. He's excelling in his career at Huntington Bank, staying fit and active through swimming and weight training, and living independently in his own apartment.
"I'm proud of the fact that I can drive a car on my own, go from place to place and get to my appointments," he says. "Being independent is pretty important because sooner or later all of us will have to learn it one way or another."
"All the experts told us he was going to have some real struggles. And I don't think they ever thought he would get his high school diploma, or have a job, or drive a car," Bill said. "He is dedicated to everything he is supposed to be doing. If he decides he wants to do something, you better let him try because he's capable of doing many things that people never thought he was capable of."

What I do not understand is why c_str() works,
const char *text2 = text1.c_str();

contrary to toCharArray()?
const char *text2 = text1.toCharArray();

or
const char text2 = text1.toCharArray();

The latter is more logical to me as I want to convert a  string to a char, and then turn it into a const char. But that doesn't work because one is a string, the other is a char. The former, as I understand, converts the string to a C-type string and then turns it into a const char. Here, the string suddenly isn't an issue anymore oO
.
a) Why does it need a C-type string conversion and why does it work only then?
b) Why is the pointer needed?
c) Why does a simple toCharArray() not work?
.
Or do I do something terribly wrong?
Thanks heaps.
I am using PlatformIO with Arduino platform.

A: If you need to modify the returned c-style string in any way, or have it persist after you modify the original String, you should use toCharArray.
If you only need a null-terminated c-style string to pass as a read-only parameter to a function, use c_str.

Arduino reference for String.toCharArray()
Arduino reference for String.c_str()
The interface (and implementation) of toCharArray is shown below, from source
    void toCharArray(char *buf, unsigned int bufsize, unsigned int index=0) const
        { getBytes((unsigned char *)buf, bufsize, index); }

So your first issue is that you're trying to use it incorrectly. toCharArray will COPY the underlying characters of your String into a buffer that you provide. This must be extra space that you have allocated, either in a buffer on the stack, or in some other writable area of memory. You would do it like this.
String str = "I am a string!";
char buf[5];
str.toCharArray(buf, 5);
// buf is now "I am\0"

// or you can start at a later index, here index 5
str.toCharArray(buf, 5, 5);
// buf is now "a st\0"

// we can also change characters in the buffer
buf[1] = 'X';
// buf is now "aXst\0"

// modifying the original String does not invalidate the buffer
str = "Je suis une chaine!";
// buf is still "aXst\0"

This allows you to copy a string partially, or at a later index, or anything you want. Most importantly, this array you copy into is mutable. We can change it, and since it's a copy, it doesn't affect the original String we copied it from. This flexibility comes with a cost. First, we have to have a large enough buffer, which may not be known at compile time, and takes up memory. Second, that copying takes time to do.

But what if we're calling a function that just wants to read a c-style string as input? It doesn't need to modify it at all?
That's where c_str() comes in. The String object has an underlying c-string type array (yes, null terminator and all). c_str() simply returns a const char* to this array. We make it const so that we don't accidentally change it. An object's underlying data should not be changed by random functions outside of its control.
This is the ENTIRE code for c_str():
const char* c_str() const { return buffer; }

You already know how to use it, but to illustrate a difference:
String str = "I am another string!";
const char* c = str.c_str();
// c[1] = 'X'; // error, cannot modify a const object

// modifying the original string may reallocate the underlying buffer
str = "Je suis une autre chaine!";
// dereferencing c now may point to invalid memory

Since c_str() simply returns the underlying data pointer, it's fast. But we don't want other functions to be allowed to modify this data, so it's const.

It is feasible that the main title of the record Atrioventricular Septal Defect is not the name you expected. Please check the basic synonyms specifying to discover the alternative name(s) as well as condition class(s) covered by this report.
Atrioventricular septal defect (ASVD) is a basic term for a group of rare heart flaws that are present at birth (hereditary). Babies with ASVDs have actually improperly created atrial and ventricular septa and adjoining shutoffs.
The typical heart has four chambers. The two top chambers, called atria, are divided from each other by a coarse partition called the atrial septum. Both lower chambers, known as ventricles, are separated from each various other by the ventricular septum. Shutoffs (e.g., mitral and also tricuspid) connect the room (left and right) to their particular ventricles. The shutoffs enable blood to be pumped via the chambers. Blood takes a trip from the right ventricle through the pulmonary artery to the lungs where it gets oxygen. The blood returns to the heart with lung capillaries and also enters the left ventricle. The left ventricle sends the currently oxygen-filled blood into the main artery of the physical body (aorta). The aorta sends the blood throughout the body.
The parts of the heart described above are formed from an embryonic structure called the endocardial cushions. In people with ASVD there is some mix of malformation of these components of the heart. They might consist of an opening in the atrial septum, a hole in the ventricular septum, and/or abnormalities of the mitral as well as triscupid valves. ASVD might be identified as one of 3 types: an incomplete (or partial) ASVD (atrial septal flaw primum); a transitional type (atrial septal problem as well as little ventricular septal flaw); or a more extreme or full form (huge atrial and ventricular problems).
The symptoms of ASVD differ considerably and also rely on the severity of the malformations (e.g., shutoff leak in between ventricles and also ventricular size). About half the cases of ASVD happen in youngsters with Down syndrome.
