The Best Scene of the Year, and Also: Windmills!
First aired 30 May 2017
I've unfortunately had to skip the recap for the previous episode because time didn't permit, i.e., I am still hung over from a week in Cancún, but I'll try to fill you in on the highlights of last episode as appropriate during this one. We open at the B&B with a shot of a battlefield-quality first aid kit, which we're sure won't come back as a plot point later on, and Máire is tut-tutting over the fact that Adam hasn't spoken to his awful mother since last episode's awful homophobic nightmare blow-up. Of course anyone else on earth would consider not having to deal with Penelope St James-Attenborough a good thing, but since poor Adam is stuck with her as his mother, it's causing him mixed feelings. He volunteers that since his mother threw him out he's been sleeping on Sorcha's couch, which is a sitcom I would pay to watch. Máire says it was awful listening to the things Catherine said, which should be carved on Catherine's headstone when she dies. She's in mother hen mode to Adam today, which is sweet to see, and he's so beautifully and heartbreakingly trying to be strong through the despair and brokenness that it makes you want to forget all the terrible things he's done, by which I mean everything he ever did before last week. He says ambiguously that he's got a family event to go to today, which Máire assumes is a happy party, and on her own way out the door, she makes sure to point out the first aid kit she's just going to leave right here on this table.
At the community center, there's still tension between Micheál and Tadhg over the big fight they had last episode about which one of them is prettier, and also windmills. Micheál is talking to Mo and Tadhg is talking to Frances, and there's "tell me more, tell me more" parallel storytelling like in "Summer Nights" from Grease, but instead of going bowling in the arcade or getting friendly down in the sand, there are people punching each other over windmills. Micheál explains to Mo that while the fact that it makes Tadhg insane is an added bonus, the main reason he doesn't want a windmill on his plot is that Séamus gave it to him, and he'd never agree to have the land spoiled this way. Mo agrees, although surprisingly she doesn't seem to have a relevant Séamus saying for this situation, such as "never go fishing with a red-headed woman you met at a windmill." Meanwhile, Frances is tired of hearing Tadhg carry on about this nonsense and begs him to drop it, but he's furious because Micheál apparently went to the school (?) and subjected the children to his anti-windmill propaganda (??), and he's not going to let him win. I'm having trouble picturing this school assembly: "Boys and girls, today we have local kook Micheál Seoighe, Réailtín's dad, to yell at us about windmills, which he suddenly has an opinion about." Dull Tony is hanging around for no apparent reason, and when Micheál asks him if he could please move his car, which is illegally parked across three handicapped spaces and a child's leg, he's completely obnoxious about it and refuses. Tony really is a train running back and forth between Semi-Comatose and Total Arsehole with no stops in between. Mo sees this and decides she's had enough of dating this boring jerk and is looking for more of a sleazy jerk with a criminal record, so she asks Tony if they can have a word later, at which point the Tony rail line will be extended to Splitsville.
Over at their place, David is confused. Let me be more specific. He's trying to get Gráinne to explain the pretend lunch she's throwing as a ploy to fix Mo and Colm up, because she hates Mo now. Mo doesn't know Colm will be there, Colm doesn't know Mo will be there, David is convinced Santa will be there, the usual. Gráinne explains that it's simply a meal for friends, at which she's serving an oyster recipe from Mary Berry's Compleat Aphrodisiac Victorian Cookbook & Almanack, and if Mo and Colm happen to end up having sex on the table, it's nothing to do with her. She continues that for good measure she's also serving asparagus, which is apparently also famously sexy, I guess because the next day you can share a moment over how bad your pee smells. Rrrrowr. David is confused by this, and still isn't sure where the juggling monkeys in little suits fit in, so Gráinne concludes, as always, that she's going to have to pull this caper off solo.
And now, in the grand tradition of when I stopped calling Peatsaí "Uncle Pest," we will officially begin calling O'Shea "Imelda," except possibly when she is on very serious police business, or when I forget. At Gaudi, Imelda corners Micheál with some pretense about going to a rave or waterpark with Laoise, the purpose of which is really to get him to confess that he and Laoise are a couple. Of course, they are very much not a couple, which he tells her in an annoyed tone he usually reserves for his arch-nemesis, the windmill. She asks him if Laoise's seeing another man, and he lies that he doesn't know, and flees the jurisdiction as quickly as possible. Ooh, I hope there's money in the budget for a police chase.
Gráinne serves her basket of oysters to David and Colm, which is fortunately for us all not a euphemism. Mo arrives and is surprised to see Colm there, but not repulsed, which is further support for our current theory that she was replaced by an android with no taste while away on Craggy Island. Gráinne pretends to squirt a lemon in her own eye, so she and David go outside to turn the fire hydrant on it, which gives Mo and Colm a chance to drink wine awkwardly and, presumably, to discuss windmills.
Imelda is having lunch alone at Gaudi and starts to call Laoise over when she spots her arriving on her own, but then Eric shows up, and he grabs Laoise's bum and they dry hump on the table and so on. Imelda, having placed in the top 90% in the police academy, or at least having seen 90% of the movie Police Academy, knows sexcapades when she sees them, and these will do until some real ones come along.
Over at the café, Adam ignores a call from his mother, who's entered in his phone as "MAM." I'm sure that's a typo and he meant "MAD." Pádraig arrives brightly to give him advice on how to be the newly-out life of the party at family events, but before he can get to the bit where you ride a unicycle while singing "It's Raining Men," Adam clarifies that today's event is his little sister's remembrance mass. So it's probably for the best that his big number is not "We Are Family." Pádraig apologizes and asks if he'll be all right, and Adam says that he's had many years of experience of stiff upper lipping and keeping up appearances. Well, thank goodness this won't present an opportunity for a terrible encounter with his horrible mother later.
Gráinne and David are still off soaking her eye in the Atlantic Ocean, which has given Colm and Mo plenty of time to discuss the windmill and come to the conclusion that it would be a good idea because, with global warming, the constant cool breeze will come in handy. She gets a text from Tony and says she has to go, at which point Colm develops sudden stomach cramps. We don't think much of it, because that's the normal reaction to thinking about Tony, but it seems the oysters have hit Colm hard, possibly because Gráinne forgot to take the plastic wrap off them before serving them. David returns and offers to take care of Colm since he already knows where the fire hydrant is and can just hose him down when he's finished doing whatever he's doing, so Mo leaves, which upsets Gráinne. She's worried that Mo will be with Tony when the sextastic effects of the oysters and asparagus kick in, which is starting to sound like the plot of that song "Love Potion No. 9." Besides, given the look on Colm's face and the way he's clutching his stomach, I'd say what Gráinne really needs to be worried about is her furniture.
Imelda tracks down Micheál at the community center to apologize for the earlier misunderstanding and tell him she's found out about Laoise and Eric, although for reasons that will probably lead to confusion and farce later, she says Laoise told her about it rather than admitting she saw it from across the room while hiding behind a peppermill. Elsewhere, Tony is a jerk for no reason to Mo when she arrives, which makes it easier for her to break up with him. To spare his feelings she claims it's because he's not over his ex rather than because he's a complete shit biscuit, and somehow her mind is not changed when he protests that Mo isn't as bad as his ex. Well, flattery will get you everywhere, officer. Mo tells him slán, and having finally freed herself from an insulting dud, she goes off to start her new independent life, which we are sure won't involve immediately hooking up with someone even worse.
And speaking of the worst people in the world, Adam's mother Cruella de Vil arrives at the café to yell at him for ignoring her calls. She's furious that he's been blanking her, because she's spent all bloody day trying to blank him, which is yet another example of what a little ingrate he is. Yeah, stop being selfish, Adam! She sees that he's holding some kind of pinwheel flower thing and asks if he thinks he's going somewhere, and when he replies that he's going to the sister's mass, she informs him that he isn't. Clearly this woman went to the same charm school as Eoin's mother.
Keeping up the pinwheel imagery, a meeting about windmills has broken out at the community center, and it seems a whole bunch of the cast were not able to escape in time. Johnny Windmill finishes a boring speech about how we must all welcome our new windmill overlords, and then Micheál stands up to give the tinfoil-hat counterpoint about how the windmills will ruin the village's history somehow. Apparently they're time-travelling windmills. He carries on for a while, and Caitríona, who is sitting among the speakers and has made this all about herself as usual, keeps shaking her head angrily and making boo hiss faces. This really is turning into the monorail episode of The Simpsons. Micheál's speech meanders for a while, addressing Brexit and also how it seems like you don't get as much cereal in the Corn Flakes box as you used to, but eventually he brings it back around to their obligation to protect the village for future generations, including past generations who have left and might come back someday, such as somebody who's not here, but who he swears exists. He kills time for a while in spite of Tadhg's relentless heckling, which mostly consists of yelling "Nonsense!" and smirking a lot, and eventually Maggie Ní Chadhain, the mysterious whatever from Tadhg's past we met last episode, shows up. Micheál insists the crowd give her a hilarious round of applause, as if she's Mel B, and Tadhg looks stricken. You can tell Maggie means business because her hair is pulled back so tight her feet are barely touching the floor.
Back at the café, Adam and his mother are sharing what seems like a tender moment in their mutual grief over the sister, but then Cruella remembers that she is a complete dumpster fire of a human being and blames Adam for Danielle's death. Even grosser, she hisses that not only did he kill his sister, but he's spent all his time ever since breaking her heart with his gaying around like a total gayzo. Don't forget the drugs and the theft! He tells her being gay is not a choice, to which she replies that she wishes he'd died that day instead of Danielle. Aaaand there it is. She disappears in a cloud of green smoke and brimstone, and poor Adam is completely devastated and barely holding it together. On the plus side, after all this I am at least 60% sure he didn't make up the sister.
After the break, Maggie finishes shaking hands and signing autographs for her adoring public, so Tadhg pulls her aside and asks her what the hell she thinks she's doing. He says she's been off in America for 40 years, which I doubt given that she does not seem to be wearing a cowboy hat, and accuses her of having no intention of ever living in Ros na Rún again, so she needs to knock it off with this "pretending to care about the windmills" thing. She gives a series of non-answers, and he accuses her of only caring about the windmills for the money—HOW DARE SHE?—and then Micheál interrupts them just as she says some vague things that suggests that she may be Tadhg's ex, or possibly Wonder Woman. Something secret-like is going on, anyway.
Mo returns to Gráinne and David's, where they are nowhere to be found, but Colm endures, like the ruins of Chernobyl. She asks how he's feeling, and he happily pats his stomach and brightly says he's feeling much better, though they'd better get out of there before David gets back. We are terrified he's going to say "Because he is not going to be happy when he sees what I did to his bathroom," but it turns out David's off at the chemist buying medicine and Colm wants to be gone before he gets back with the suppositories. They discuss what an obvious set-up this was, and she tells him that she just broke up with Tony, so they head off to the pub to celebrate just as David arrives home from the pharmacy with a big cork.
Adam is at the playground sadly batting around an empty child's swing. Symbolism! This is actually all incredibly sad and poignant, and really well done, and I swear I've gone through all these Kleenex just because it's allergy season, and also: shut up. He sits down on a bench and starts downing a bottle of wine, and when he hears the distant church bells from Danielle's mass, you can see the last bit of his world crumble away. It's amazing how much we care about Adam now considering how much time we spent wanting people to punch him.
Back in the storyline we are all most intensely interested in, Tadhg is telling Johnny Windmill that the vast majority of the community is pro-windmill, but Johnny tells him they won't build unless it's unanimous. Seriously? They require every single person in the community to agree? How do they ever get anything done? Maggie comes back and she and Tadhg have a lot of abstract talk about families and the past and Cilla Black and so on, which we will all care about later, but right now we want to get back to Adam jumping off a roof into a bottle of pills or whatever.
Oh, and here we go: Máire finds Adam attempting to climb a drainpipe up a tower I personally had never noticed before, but I am assured it's been there all along. Up till this point I thought the tallest thing in the village was Evan. Anyway, he asks her to be a love and hold his empty wine bottle while he climbs the tower and kills himself, but she tells him to get his drunk behind back down here and knock it off. He does, which is a relief because it would've been a shame to ruin his gorgeous outfit, and she takes him by the arm and leads him back to the B&B. Awww.
Colm is cozying up to Mo in the pub, and they start making out. Can we send him up and off the tower instead?
At the B&B, Adam is sitting in front of the open first aid kit, bringing us full circle. Sunrise, sunset. Máire sweetly tells him that she's made a bed for him and that he's staying there tonight. She tells him he'll have an awful hangover tomorrow morning and looks for some tablets in the first aid kit, but MYSTERIOUSLY she can't find them, so she zips out to the chemist to get more. Two customers in one day: business is booming for Janice! She leaves, and like a magician Adam produces two army-sized boxes of pills from his jacket pocket and looks at them meaningfully. He's going to be surprised when he finds out they're Fia's emergency birth-control pills.
There's an unnecessarily long scene of someone who is apparently a TV celebrity ordering a cup of tea in the pub, and the best part is that I found an article online about this in which he says he really struggled to learn his lines, which consist of: "Hi, cupán tae, le do thoil" and "Go raibh míle maith agat." If I am ever on this show, I am going to dazzle them by saying complex and natural things such as "I do not like tennis" and "I'm sorry, the hardware store is closed." Across the pub, there's some light-to-moderate entrapment going on, with Imelda trying to trick Laoise into admitting she's seeing Eric by asking her to go with her to a singles' night, but there's no payoff yet.
Back at the B&B, Fia's arrival startles Adam, causing him to drop the pills all over the floor and try to pretend nothing's going on. She angrily commands him to give her the pills, but he asks her why she even cares what happens to him. He threw her away when she was of no more use to him, he explains, and now that he's of no use to her, it's time for her to do the same. She asks if he really expects her to pretend she hasn't seen anything and wander off, and let Máire find him dead on the floor later. He says hurting people is what he does, but she tells him his mother is the one who's hurting him, and has been doing it for a long time, but that it's not his fault. Yes, she admits, he hurt her, but it's not because he's a slimeball, it's because he's a wonderful person. Well, I think he can be both.
She says she fell in love with him because he's smart, funny, and kind (?), and she tells him firmly that he's a good person, even if everyone doesn't know it yet. He says he doesn't deserve her to be so nice to him, and she tells him that he deserves it, and deserves even more, and as she hugs him tightly, he drops the pills on the floor and starts to cry. And I realize I have basically just gone through this entire scene line by line, but I have to say, it really is incredibly moving, and maybe the best scene I have ever seen on this show. I don't even know what else to say, and will just end here, because this scene is such a perfect gift it can speak for itself.

Sony Opens Website Showcasing PlayStation Accessibility Features
Sony Interactive Entertainment has launched a new website dedicated to outlining the PlayStation 4 and 5's accessibility features, as well as supported games and settings. The new website follows an industry-wide initiative to offer better accessibility to gamers with disabilities. Notably, the website features a list of games with accessibility features and allows users to browse what settings are supported within each game.
The website provides various resources for users to learn more about the accessibility settings offered on PlayStation consoles. The landing page also provides screenshots of the accessibility menu, including where players can configure their visual and audio settings. Visual accessibility settings include the Zoom magnifying feature that Sony added to the PS5 earlier this year. There are also links to some feature introduction videos for both the PS4 and PS5.
Additionally, a second tab outlines the various accessibility features available in PlayStation exclusive games. Chief among these are Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart, The Last of Us Part II, and Spider-Man: Miles Morales. The aforementioned games featured a significant amount of accessibility features on launch, which users can check out via drop-down menu. These include separate categories for colorblindness, text size, audio and subtitles, input mapping, and more.
It's important to note, however, that the website doesn't necessarily list PlayStation games that have accessibility features. Rather, it describes what accessibility settings are available, meaning that some games may not have much to offer at all.
Regardless, the website can serve as a useful list to check out before purchasing some of these games.

Anti-reflection; thin film; thickness; refractive index; interference; optical impedance.
To date, there is no ideal anti-reflection (AR) coating available on solar glass which can effectively transmit the incident light within the visible wavelength range. However, there is a need to develop multifunctional coatingwith superior anti-reflection properties and self-cleaning ability meant to be used for solar glass panels. In spite of self-cleaning ability of materials like TiO2 and ZnO, these coatings on glass substrate have tendency to reduce lighttransmission due to their high refractive indices than glass. Thus, to infuse the anti-reflective property, a low refractive index, SiO$_2$ layer needs to be used in conjunction with TiO$_2$ and ZnO layers. In such case, the optimization ofindividual layer thickness is crucial to achieve maximum transmittance of the visible light. In the present study, we propose an omni-directional anti-reflection coating design for the visible spectral wavelength range of 400–700 nm,where the maximum intensity of light is converted into electrical energy. Herein, we employ the quarter wavelength criteria using SiO$_2$, TiO$_2$ and ZnO to design the coating composed of single, double and triple layers. The thicknessof individual layers was optimized for maximum light transmittance using essential Mcleod simulation software to produce destructive interference between reflected waves and constructive interference between transmitted waves.

Developments at the NCBA
The Board of Trustees have recently been conducting a review of their publications and publicity, in particular the NCBA website and Trainer's course notes.
The existing website was originally built over 10 years ago and has had numerous functions 'bolted on' over the years, in an effort to keep up with the developing organisation. Whilst it has served its members well by the content of the website it would be fair to say that this has become somewhat dated. The NCBA therefore have contracted Fireside Media to conduct an overhaul of the website in order to bring the most benefit & value to NCBA, and that this would include both the website design and underlying technology and design. This should provide a sound platform for development both now and in the future, as well as adding a degree of self-sufficiency (i.e. NCBA and its partners can maintain and add to the site).
All the current site functionality will still be required but some areas will be grouped more logically. At a high level, it is proposed moving to a hosted WordPress site, creating an updated look & feel around a WordPress template, building, developing and testing the new website iteratively (i.e. modules are built, tested, refined & released, closely involving NCBA staff and users to ensure requirements are met).
The website is expected to launch in the new year.
The second initiative the NCBA is undertaking is a review of the course notes, syllabus and course profiles. The Trainers area of the website contains a wealth of information for the administration and running of courses. Whilst this information is regularly reviewed it is not always easy to navigate through the content. Therefore, a small sub-committee has been set up to look, not necessarily at the content, but more at how this can be better presented to both the Trainer and the candidate as well as the public at large. The deliberations of this committee will be disseminated to NCBA Trainers for their comments in due course.

Frances Hodgson Burnett, English-American novelist
Frances Eliza Hodgson Burnett (November 24, 1849 – October 29, 1924) was an English-American novelist and playwright. She is best known for the three children's novels "Little Lord Fauntleroy" (published in 1885–1886), "A Little Princess" (1905), and "The Secret Garden" (1911).
Frances Eliza Hodgson was born in Cheetham, Manchester, England. After her father died in 1852, the family fell on straitened circumstances and in 1865 immigrated to the United States, settling near Knoxville, Tennessee. There Frances began writing to help earn money for the family, publishing stories in magazines from the age of 19.
In 1870, her mother died, and in 1872 Frances married Swan Burnett, who became a medical doctor. The Burnetts lived for two years in Paris, where their two sons were born, before returning to the United States to live in Washington, D.C., Burnett then began to write novels, the first of which (That Lass o' Lowrie's), was published to good reviews.
"Little Lord Fauntleroy" was published in 1886 and made her a popular writer of children's fiction, although her romantic adult novels written in the 1890s were also popular. She wrote and helped to produce stage versions of "Little Lord Fauntleroy" and "A Little Princess."
Burnett enjoyed socializing and lived a lavish lifestyle. Beginning in the 1880s, she began to travel to England frequently and in the 1890s bought a home there, where she wrote "The Secret Garden." Her oldest son, Lionel, died of tuberculosis in 1890, which caused a relapse of the depression she had struggled with for much of her life. She divorced Swan Burnett in 1898, married Stephen Townsend in 1900, and divorced him in 1902. A few years later she settled in Nassau County, Long Island, where she died in 1924 and is buried in Roslyn Cemetery.
In 1936 a memorial sculpture by Bessie Potter Vonnoh was erected in her honour in Central Park's Conservatory Garden. The statue depicts her two famous Secret Garden characters, Mary and Dickon.

Workers compensation settlement for back injury is a sensitive issue for many. Read on to know more about the steps to follow in such a situation and get compensated appropriately.
Accidents do happen at the work place, sometimes even after following all safety regulations stipulated by the company. The injured worker is rushed to the hospital for treatment and recovery. What happens if it is a back injury that renders the worker partially or permanently disabled? This situation may create financial difficulties for the worker, as he loses his wages as well as has to pay for medical expenses.
Before the workers compensation law came into existence, employees used to depend on personal health medical insurance to resolve such a situation. In some cases, these insurances were provided for by the employers. However, these were not all that useful as they didn't cover all aspects, especially back injuries, and most often left the injured worker in difficulty. Nowadays, employers equip themselves with workers insurance to safeguard their and their employees interests. The following is a list of few facts which may help you in getting compensation for work related injury.
Get your back injury, even if it is a minor back pain or strain, treated by the doctor. While claiming, the document created by the medical professional will prove to be useful.
Next, the accident and injury must immediately be reported to a supervisor or superiors. Failure in reporting the injury to the proper authorities can result in a refusal of benefits.
The settlement laws stipulate the necessity of getting an independent medical evaluation of the back injury. Failure to do so can get the claim denied or dismissed.
If there are difficulties in resolving your workers compensation claim or if you think it is not enough of a compensation then taking legal advice is necessary.
Finding an efficient attorney is also necessary, if you cannot put forth your case because of the injury or due to some other reasons. Ask around and find an accident lawyer who is a specialist in the field of work place accidents and injuries.
Meanwhile, follow the physician's advice and treatment prescribed by him. If he has advised you to undergo physical therapy or has placed limits on the activities that you can do, then follow it.
Most workers suffering work related back injuries need immediate compensation. These can be obtained as temporary and/or permanent benefits.
Temporary Benefits: Right after the incident, the injured worker needs money for payments of medical expenditures and lost wages. As the process for availing workers compensation is initiated, an agreement awarding at least some coverage for medical bills related with the injury and compensation for his or her lost wages (in part or full) is reached.
Permanent Benefits: Many of the times, work-related back injuries disables the victim permanently, affecting his ability to discharge certain work-related tasks. While arriving at a settlement, a number of factors need to be considered. To simplify the process, the back injury is rated and is given a numerical value. Its severity and how incapacitating it will be during the lifetime of the worker, are both considered while calculating this value. In addition, estimated future medical expenses and the lost wages, if they are continued to be borne by the worker, are also considered as a component of the final compensation amount.
Are Workers Compensation Settlements Taxable?
The part of the compensation that covers lost wages for the past, present, and future is taxable. It is considered by the federal and the state governments as the wealth generated by the worker and is appropriately taxed. Rest of the components of the settlement such as medical expenses, etc., are not taxed.
Workers compensation laws are different in different states, and a worker looking for compensation should be aware of this fact. For this reason, even if it is possible for a worker to represent his case, the best option is to engage an attorney.

Green Point get the better of Kuils River
Lonwabo Marele
Green Points Wesley Baressi appeals for a LBW decision after a good delivery during their 42-run win against Kuils River in Green Point, at the weekend.
Green Point won the toss and elected to bat first on Saturday, scoring 201/7 in their 50 overs. Opener Munier Alexander had a field day with the bat, scoring more than half of his team's runs. He finished his innings with 101 to take his side to a tough total for the opposition o chase.
Kuils River leg spinner, Peter David Cyster had an expensive start after conceding eight runs in his first over. However, his confidence grew after he started gripping the ball and targeting his spots well.
Cyster picked up 4/32 runs in six overs. The team effort between Cyster's bowling and Adams's safe hands saw them grab the big wicket of Alexander.
Adams picked up 3/30 runs and a maiden in 10 overs.
Green Point's Adam Lazarus did his part with the ball for Green Point taking 4/24 to bowl out Kuila River for just 159, to give his side a 42-run win.
Lazarus was supported by Adam Scher who picked up 3/37 in his 10 overs. The win was Green Point's fifth of the season in their six games and keeps them top of the log standings with 24 points, three ahead of Kraaifontein.
Chairman at Kuils River, Pat Wessels said they bowled well, however, numerous misfields cost them the game.
"We need to work on our fielding. There were a lot of missed catches that brought our opponents back into the game. The 40 runs we needed was lost by the misfields," he said.
Wessels said the 65 year old club is five games into the new league after being promoted from the First Division B, and they are slowly but surely adjusting to the competition.
He is confident the lads will lift their heads high and bounce back to winning ways when they host NGCC on Saturday.
"You are as good as your next match. We have a bit of an advantage because we are playing at home. I think we should be able to beat them.
"The boys need to step up our game because it is a much tougher league and it's a learning curve," he said.

16 Times Actors Completely Rewrote Their Characters
Ashley Reign
Updated October 30, 2020 579.9k views16 items
Hollywood movies are incredibly collaborative. A single movie requires hundreds of crew members, actors, and editors to work together towards a common goal. Sometimes, however, actors get so into their characters that they have a few thoughts on their dialogue and actions. Many times, this results in brilliant improv or rewrites that ring true to the character's arc. Other times, actors' ambitions can get out of hand and endanger a movie's success.
This is a collection of the actors who asked for - or even insisted on - changes to their characters. While the majority of their ideas paid off, on several occasions, major stars' contributions proved less than helpful.
Tom Cruise Reportedly Drove 'The Mummy' To An Early Grave

Tom Cruise's insistence on rewrites for 2017's The Mummy are rumored to have caused the movie to tank. In the original script, Cruise and the monster were meant to have an equal amount of screen time, which didn't sit well with the Mission Impossible star.
Cruise personally hired two writers to help rewrite the script, which was changed from a summer horror flick to an attempted action movie. Throughout the course of the rewrites, Cruise's screen time began to gradually overshadow that of the mummy. Though Universal was less than thrilled with these changes, they agreed to go along with them, ultimately to the film's peril.
Frank Walsh, the film's supervising art director, remarked in 2017:
I have heard the stories about how he drives everything and pushes and pushes, but it was amazing to work with him. The guy is a great filmmaker and knows his craft. He will walk onto a set and tell the director what to do, say "that's not the right lens," ask about the sets, and as long as you don't fluff what you're saying to him... he's easy to work for.

Edward Norton Only Agreed To Be In 'The Incredible Hulk' If He Could Alter The Script

When Edward Norton was first approached with the role of Bruce Banner, he wasn't interested. After meeting with the Incredible Hulk's director, however, he agreed to the role under the stipulation that he would receive a great deal of creative control. This included the ability to submit rewrites to Zak Penn's original script. Though Norton did submit his script changes, he discovered that few of them were actually used in the film's final cut.
Once Marvel opted to tighten the screenplay by cutting out many of Norton's contributions, everyone sat down for a discussion. As director Louis Leterrier claimed:
We had a meeting... where I go, okay, we have to find solutions. And then we were screaming stuff and everything. Maybe somebody walked in, a PA or somebody walked in, somebody who's not used to it, and we're having a conversation, and Edward was like... no, Edward's very vocal.
Though Norton refused to discuss the disagreement in interviews, he addressed his difficult behavior 10 years later by simply explaining, "I wanted a better script." Marvel later replaced him with Mark Ruffalo, who reprised the Hulk in the following MCU films.
Alan Rickman Rewrote Parts Of 'Robin Hood: Prince Of Thieves' At A Pizza Hut

Though Alan Rickman is widely known for playing the sinister Severus Snape in the Harry Potter franchise, he has also starred in a vast array of other films, including 1991's Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves. Prior to filming, he confessed to friends that some of his lines as the Sheriff of Nottingham were "terrible." So, over a meeting at Pizza Hut, he asked for help in making his lines more manageable.
Rickman recalled that he asked one of his friends to "have a look at this script, because it's terrible, and I need some good lines. So he did, and, you know, with [some] kind of pizza and bacon and egg going all over the script." Rickman then presented the changes to the film's director, Kevin Reynolds, who agreed to sneak them into filming. "Nobody knew this was happening except him," Rickman later revealed, "and I knew it had worked because as I cleared the camera, I saw about 80 members of the crew [holding in laughter]."

Robert Downey Jr.'s portrayal of Tony Stark in the Iron Man and Avengers franchises has proven to be one of the MCU's cornerstones. Unsurprisingly, then, Downey Jr. asked for a bit of creative control in his character's development. The actor has become famous for improvising lines on the fly, and according to Iron Man 3 director Shane Black, he isn't shy about asking for rewrites:
On Iron Man [3], Downey would be like, "Time!" and I'd be like, "We're shooting!" and he'd be, "No, shut the cameras," and we'd go back to the trailer and we'd all write, because he wanted new lines. I mean, maybe it's a little bit of that. Maybe I took a lesson from him. We've had a great deal of fun incorporating input from talented people who haven't been looking at the same pages for two years.

Looking for Love
"Hall Pass," "Take Me Home Tonight," and "Jane Eyre."
By David Denby
Inept-male chronicles: Teresa Palmer and Topher Grace in Michael Dowse's new movie.Illustration by QUICKHONEY
In "Hall Pass," two fortyish husbands (Owen Wilson and Jason Sudeikis) are given a week of liberty by their wives (Jenna Fischer and Christina Applegate). Go for it, the women tell them. You stare at every shapely young female body you see, so get it out of your system. The wives leave their homes, in Providence, and take their young children to Cape Cod. But the men don't do much with their freedom: they pig out at Applebee's, sleep, and make halfhearted attempts to pick up women. In another new movie, "Take Me Home Tonight," set in Los Angeles in 1988, a recent graduate of M.I.T. (Topher Grace) tries to score with a young woman (Teresa Palmer) he was nuts about in high school. She's now a rising star at Drexel Burnham. He says he works at Goldman Sachs. Actually, he is treading water at a video store, but, empowered by this lie, he pursues her through a long night at two big parties. He is accompanied by his schlubby best friend (Dan Fogler), a noisy fat guy who gets stoned, drunk, and attacked by a ravenous woman; his pants down around his ankles, he barely escapes. The schlub is central to the movie, just as anarchic heavyweights played by Seth Rogen, Zach Galifianakis, and Jonah Hill have been central to many recent comedies. For instance, in "Love and Other Drugs," Jake Gyllenhaal's ladies' man has a chubby, hysterical brother (Josh Gad), who is masturbatory and also frequently pantless; he could be a baby losing his diaper. The sidekicks in these movies are burlesque-show boys—regressive, needy, spilling fluids from every orifice.
For years, the infantilism and ineptitude of the American male has been the principal source of comedy in Hollywood movies. The cycle began, I guess, with John Belushi, though, in a movie like "Animal House," he had a more intense relationship with food than with women. "Animal House" was pretty consistently funny, and some of the movies directed or produced by Judd Apatow about the post-adolescent male are touching and emotionally complicated as well as funny. But what happens to these characters once they hit thirty? They become aging boys. Apart from the Apatow pictures, Todd Phillips's hit comedy, "The Hangover," from 2009, is the most accomplished and daring of these movies; it drives grownup regression to the point of despair and madness. Four guys in their thirties spend a bachelor night in Las Vegas in an alcoholic and chemical oblivion. The next morning, the people they outraged and stole from during the night begin to assault them. Their reality gets stranger and stranger, and they come close to breakdown—the movie is funniest when it is craziest.
There's a good commercial reason that so many of these pictures get made. The filmmakers work as much filthy boy talk into the script as they can, and, by making guys the butt of the jokes, they amuse young men without openly insulting the women in the audience. Women, however, may be insulted in other ways: onscreen, they are rarely the ones who get to act up. They're usually solid and sane—good, loyal, colorless, hardworking girlfriends and wives. The genre, in its distribution of wildness, is conservative at heart. And these movies, for all their sex obsessiveness, have very little sexual feeling. The over-all atmosphere is uncomfortable, anti-erotic, almost queasy in its jokey male bonding and its indifference to women.
In "Hall Pass," directed by Peter and Bobby Farrelly, who wrote the script with Pete Jones and Kevin Barnett, the two marriages are fading. Some of the romantic failure is no one's fault—it's just life. As Mommy and Daddy are getting into bed, the kids pop into the room. And the women aren't always interested. They feign sleep, and other things; they make remarks like "I think that's our job as women—between 10 P.M. and 6 A.M. we just fake everything." At the same time, we know that the men try to outdo one another with sexual fantasies in order to keep a certain idea of their freedom alive, but they don't really want it. We're not surprised that, when the wives go away, the husbands continue to hang out with each other and their friends, and can't get past the front desk of an Asian massage parlor. Freedom, it turns out, scares them. The surprising element in the movie is that the women, on the Cape, attract attention from an unexpected source: the men on a local minor-league baseball team. But adultery is a big step. Freedom makes the wives anxious, too.
The Farrelly brothers laid claim to the ick factor in their 1998 hit, "There's Something About Mary." They're big on excretions, and they specialize in the comedy of humiliation. But "Mary" had its brilliant high spots, while "Hall Pass" is dispiriting. In any given scene, the Farrellys throw three ideas on the screen, only one of which comes close to working. The staging is careless, and the lighting is weirdly overbright, as on an old TV show. The dispiritedness is relieved, though only momentarily, by the usually sombre Richard Jenkins, who shows up dressed in black, looking like, of all people, William Burroughs, and playing some sort of ageless hipster. But Jason Sudeikis (from "Saturday Night Live") is monochromatic, and Owen Wilson has lost his glow. In any case, the movie collapses into banality. The marriages hang together, but fear and guilt provide the glue. Perhaps the biggest insult to women here is the idea that they can't get better men than these two vacuous guys.
In "Take Me Home Tonight," Topher Grace is handsome and slender, with a deadpan delivery and an aura of shrewdness, which makes it particularly hard to see why his character, Matt Franklin, keeps the schlub played by Dan Fogler around as his best friend. (These comedies cling so eagerly to formula that the casting doesn't always make sense.) The idea is that Matt, even though he lies about himself, is a good guy who hasn't grown up yet. The long night, with Matt's pursuit of his ideal woman, is a rite of passage. The movie is amiable enough: the young Australian actress Teresa Palmer is lovely and crisp, and the Canadian writer-director Michael Dowse manages the party traffic well. At times, it seems as though "Take Me Home Tonight" is about to break out of realism and turn into an eighties L.A. musical, with a hip-hop score and dance numbers. That might have given a crude slugger like Fogler something cool to do. There have always been heavyweight comics in movies, going back to Fatty Arbuckle, but they often surprised us by being light on their feet. Vile bodies transfigured themselves, turning ungainliness into grace.
The story elements in Charlotte Brontë's 1847 novel "Jane Eyre" are so powerful and affecting—an orphaned girl who becomes a governess, a tormented Byronic male, howling winds on the moors, an enormous manor house, a madwoman in the attic—that you could stage it with shadow puppets in Greek and it would still have an emotional impact. No less an experimental modernist than Virginia Woolf said that the book was impossible to put down, summarizing Brontë's force in serial assertions: "I love," "I hate," "I suffer." This fervent, angry novel gave a strong impetus to both feminist fiction and romance novels.
"Jane Eyre" has been adapted many times, and in many languages. The latest version—with Mia Wasikowska as Jane and Michael Fassbender as Rochester—is more in the feminist line, though with feverish gothic touches. Mia Wasikowska (another young Australian actress) does not have the sweet, soft loveliness of Joan Fontaine gazing forlornly at Orson Welles's Rochester, with his magnificent brow and gleaming eyes, in the 1943 Hollywood version. Wasikowska is pale and slender, with reddish hair parted in the middle and pulled back. She's an almost plain woman with a mysterious confidence and a level stare. Fassbender's Rochester questions her irritably after she has been hired into his household, curious to see if she will step back and become a mere servant. She holds her ground, and wins his love. Fassbender is not a romantic thunderclap like Welles; he's intelligent and physically dynamic, a restless, unhappy man in need of love. The director, Cary Fukunaga ("Sin Nombre"), frames the story not just with his camera but with subdued natural lighting: dreary and grayish outdoors and mostly candlelit interiors. Parts of the movie were shot in Haddon Hall, a vast, gloomy medieval manse in Derbyshire, where the lovers seem to be fighting not only against a malignant fate but against the extinction of the light. Yet this austere production has fire enough; it captures the elemental Brontë passions. ♦

RG 198: Records of the Neighbors' Club of Arlington, Virginia, 1920-2009
Collection Number
The Neighbors' Club of Arlington, Virginia, was formed in 1920 by nine women living in Arlington in the vicinity of Glebe Road and Rock Springs Road. Arlington at the time was quite a rural area, having few paved streets. The stated aim of the Club "is to bring together a congenial group of women in this locality for the purpose of enjoying our mutual interests and developing their talents in a harmonious atmosphere. The Club is non-sectarian and non-political and as a Club sponsors no causes." Mrs. Frank Suter is credited in one history as a main founder of the Club.
Officers of the Neighbor's Club are: President, First Vice-President /Program, Second Vice-President /Hospitality, Recording Secretary, Corresponding Secretary/Newsletter Editor, Treasurer, and Historian. Each active member must serve as one of the numerous hostesses for one meeting.
The Club has always had separate interest sections that hold monthly section meetings for those interested in the topic. Additionally, each section is responsible for planning and presenting one general meeting, coordinating with the Vice-Presidents. These monthly meetings are held October through June on the first Wednesday of the month. As of 1991 the sections were Art, Book, Drama, Home and Garden, Music, and Travel. Meetings not planned by sections are planned chiefly by the two Vice-Presidents.
To be eligible for active membership, a woman must currently reside in postal zip code 22207 and be sponsored by several members in good standing. In earlier years, zones for membership were indicated by maps and street names. In spite of these guidelines, the club grew to include over 200 active members. The Drama section regularly presented short plays or skits. In 2020 the club will celebrate 100 years of existence.
Record Group 198 measures approximately seven linear feet of records dating from 1920 to 2009. Materials consist of yearbooks, minutes, budgets, annual reports, and club histories, membership files, newsletters (The Neighbors' Club Newsletter), correspondence, clippings, scrapbooks, and loose photographs.
Scrapbooks are a large part of the collection, containing many photographs and newsletters, and give the most complete picture of the Club's activities. Newsletters and scrapbooks over the years show well-attended general meetings with topics such as the work of local or national agencies or current and historical events with high-profile speakers such as Washington Post columnists, relatives of members with high level government posts, and nationally prominent figures such as Sandra Day O'Connor. The scrapbooks also show that the section members took part in a wide variety of activities including trips to museums and government facilities, French and art lessons, musical programs, and other cultural events. Annual events pictured in scrapbooks include the May Book Luncheon, often with well-known figures such as Jim Lehrer, and the June Garden Party and Art Exhibit. Elaborate table decorations with artfully arranged flowers and refreshments suited to holidays such as Christmas and Easter are a regular feature of the monthly meetings.
Some of the scrapbooks have been left in original condition, while most have been disassembled with the photographs and other contents photocopied in place. The photographs were then numbered and sleeved. (See Arrangement and Description.) There are over 900 numbered photographs not including those left in the five scrapbooks left in original condition, thus forming a large part of the Record Group.
Arrangement and Description
RG 198 is arranged into nine series by type of material. All folder titles with an asterisk [*] have oversized material that has been housed separately.
Series 1 contains yearbooks, 1939-1991, arranged chronologically. Title from original folders.
Series 2 contains minutes of meetings and budgets, 1951-1998, arranged chronologically. Title from original folders.
Series 3 contains annual reports of the sections and club histories, 1920-1992, arranged chronologically. Original folder titles.
Series 4 contains copies of the newsletter, The Neighbors' Club Newsletter, 1965-2006, arranged chronologically. These are mostly complete from 1965-1991 although these were scattered among files; the processor gathered and arranged them. Later issues (through 2008) can regularly be found interfiled with photographs in chronological order in the scrapbooks in Series 6, thus forming an apparent full set.
Series 5 contains correspondence originally scattered among unmarked folders, chiefly 1971-1977 and 1992-1998, arranged chronologically.
Series 6 contains scrapbooks, 1920-2008, arranged chronologically. These were found titled The Neighbors' Club with dates covered. Scrapbooks before 1989 cover multiple years, but those after 1989 contain two or three years per book. Those after 2000 cover one year. Most have been disassembled and photocopied in the original order including photographs that have then been removed, numbered, and sleeved. However, five scrapbooks have been kept in original condition (2001-2004, 2006-2008) and boxed separately.
Series 7 contains loose photographs, 1973-2005 and undated, in chronological order. Title from original folders.
Series 8 contains membership and miscellaneous files kept by those serving as hostesses, 1959-2009, in chronological order. Original titles were Membership Files, and Hostess Files.
Series 9 contains miscellaneous items including clippings, two oversized photographs of founding members, and obituaries and funeral programs for members and spouses. Title assigned by processor.
Record Group 198 was donated by Mary Henderson, then President of the club, in November 2012.
Record Group 198 has no research restrictions.
Related records for women's groups with a strong social (rather than political) aspect that overlap with postal zip code 22207 are RG 50, Records of the Women's Club of Waycroft, and RG 73, The Records of the Williamsburg Women's Club.


Hematopoietic System of Bone Marrow Hemopoiesis is the proliferation and differentiation of the formed elements of blood.
Lymphoid and myeloid stem cells do not immediately divide and differentiate into mature formed elements. There are several intermediate stages of precursor cells (literally, forerunner cells), many of which can be recognized by their names, which have the suffix -blast. For instance, megakaryoblasts are the precursors of megakaryocytes, and proerythroblasts become reticulocytes, which eject their nucleus and most other organelles before maturing into erythrocytes.
Erythropoietin (EPO) is a glycoprotein hormone secreted by the interstitial fibroblast cells of the kidneys in response to low oxygen levels. It prompts the production of erythrocytes. Some athletes use synthetic EPO as a performanceenhancing drug (called blood doping) to increase RBC counts and subsequently increase oxygen delivery to tissues throughout the body. EPO is a banned substance in most organized sports, but it is also used medically in the treatment of certain anemia, specifically those triggered by certain types of cancer, and other disorders in which increased erythrocyte counts and oxygen levels are desirable.
◦ Colony-stimulating factors (CSFs) are glycoproteins that act locally, as autocrine or paracrine factors. Some trigger the differentiation of myeloblasts into granular leukocytes, namely, neutrophils, eosinophils, and basophils. These are referred to as granulocyte CSFs. A different CSF induces the production of monocytes, called monocyte CSFs. Both granulocytes and monocytes are stimulated by GM-CSF; granulocytes, monocytes, platelets, and erythrocytes are stimulated by multi-CSF. Synthetic forms of these hormones are often administered to patients with various forms of cancer who are receiving chemotherapy to revive their WBC counts.
◦ Interleukins are another class of cytokine signaling molecules important in hemopoiesis. They were initially thought to be secreted uniquely by leukocytes and to communicate only with other leukocytes, and were named accordingly, but are now known to be produced by a variety of cells including bone marrow and endothelium. Researchers now suspect that interleukins may play other roles in body functioning, including differentiation and maturation of cells, producing immunity and inflammation. To date, more than a dozen interleukins have been identified, with others likely to follow. They are generally numbered IL-1, IL-2, IL-3, etc.
In the past, when a bone marrow sample or transplant was necessary, the procedure would have required inserting a largebore needle into the region near the iliac crest of the pelvic bones (os coxae). This location was preferred, since its location close to the body surface makes it more accessible, and it is relatively isolated from most vital organs. Unfortunately, the procedure is quite painful.

iPhone XR Full Review With Price And Release Date

Apple has dealt with a promoting masterstroke with the iPhone XR: not just has it deferred the dispatch of the third of its trio of 2018 iPhones, in this way making some riddle around it, it's likewise figured out how to influence this to appear as though the current year's 'modest' iPhone.
Indeed, it's less expensive contrasted with the as of late propelled iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max, however, we're talking $749 (£749/AU$1229) contrasted and $999 (£999/AU$1,629), or, in other words. To the normal cost cognizant, mark nonpartisan purchaser this is far from a 'modest iPhone'.
To the Apple fan who needs to stay with the brand, however, the iPhone XR offers a significantly less expensive approach to get a 2018 model without paying the out of this world costs of the XS couple, without yielding that much as far as highlights – and with a nervy little reward for good measure.
While it's difficult to know for certain what Apple is intending to accomplish with the later dispatch of the iPhone XR, the reality remains that it's as of now delighted in the buzz of the new iPhone XS dispatch, and now has a second chomp of the, er, apple as far as creating hyper around this 'riddle' telephones.
All things considered, Apple has either pulled a promoting masterstroke or screwed itself by propelling late – as the XR is extraordinary compared to other iPhones we've ever tried.
iPhone XR cost and discharge date
The cost of the iPhone XR is something that will draw in purchasers: at $749/£749/AU$1229 for the 64GB model ($799/£799/AU$1299 for 128GB and $899/£899/AU$1479 for the 256GB), it's significantly more reasonable than the iPhone XS.
You would now be able to purchase the telephone far and wide as it was discharged on October 26, 2018. You may battle to discover stock at first in the event that you haven't pre-requested, yet it ought to wind up simpler to discover with time.
Contrasted with the iPhone XS, the iPhone XR is minimized in various approaches to hitting that lower value point.
All things considered, there are various key highlights that are the equivalent: iOS 12 is the working framework that runs things, and it's supported up by the uncontrollably intense A12 Bionic chipset inside.
The score contains all a similar forward looking cameras and sensors as the iPhone XS, and the double speakers still face a similar way while drawing out the sound.
To the untrained eye, or somebody not holding the iPhone XR and XS one next to the other, it may even be difficult to right away differentiate the two one from the other – yet there are various key contrasts that we have to dive into.
Only A Solitary Camera
Ostensibly the most noteworthy thing about the iPhone XS is the camera. As it's the main thing that feels essentially redesigned over the iPhone X. While the iPhone XR offers the equivalent 'standard' focal point as the XS. It comes up short on the fax second sensor; so needs to do some extravagant traps with programming to redress.
This implies you won't have the capacity to zoom in as far with the XR. As the zooming focal point offers (generally) lossless photography at two times zoom. While picture mode, where the foundation is obscured out, isn't as compelling.
You can, in any case, take a representation shot and have the foundation appealingly; obscured to maintain the emphasis regarding the matter. However not at all like with the iPhone XS, you can't take pictures of articles and creatures similarly.
This is because of the reality the product can't distinguish those subjects as effortlessly from the single sensor. Where the extra equipment on the more costly XS can draw on more information.
The Liquid Retina screen
Apple is never one to modest far from some advertising metaphor, and the iPhone XR accompanies 'another' kind of LCD, a screen that has been intended to enable it to make this bent, 'all-screen' show.
The impact is much similar to the LCD screens Apple has made previously, to be completely forthright, as they've generally been vivid and sharp, yet with the new 'Fluid Retina' show things should nearer to the top of the line OLED screen.
We'll dig more into the nature of the screen later in this audit, yet it's one of the key contrasts you'll need to consider in case you're pondering going for the less-exorbitant iPhone.
No 3D Touch
There's restricted to know whether you utilize a component on an iPhone, and that is to take it away and check whether you miss it. Anybody originating from a later-arrangement Apple handset will have approached 3D Touch, where squeezing the screen harder opens menus or initiates diverse highlights in applications.
This component has been evacuated for the iPhone XR, probably to set aside extra cash – rather you need to complete a 'long press' to do a similar thing. So on the off chance that you at any point got to alternate ways by driving harder on an application, or opened the light with a harder push on the boot screen… well, that is no more.
We didn't understand the amount we utilized that element before – and it's chafing to not have something that feels like a genuine catch to open the camera – however it doesn't take long to become acclimated to the option… it just feels somewhat less premium.
Chunkier Plan
The iPhone XR is additionally a thicker structure, with chunkier bezels around the side of the telephone – hold it one next to the other with an iPhone XS and you'll feel it's plainly the less expensive model, with a thicker vibe in the hand.
In any case, taking a gander at it and dealing with it in confinement you'll simply feel that it's a smooth, adjusted structure that gorillas the well known type of the iPhone 7 or iPhone 8 – fundamentally, the iPhone XR is the all-screen rendition of those handsets, bringing a screen the extent of those on the iPhone 7 Plus or 8 Plus in a shape factor that is more much the same as the little models.
Improved Battery
Apple trusts you'll have the capacity to get an hour and a half more battery life out of the iPhone XR than the 8 Plus, or, in other words, bounce in genuine terms.
Well – and we would prefer not to ruin the unexpected somewhat later – we'd state it's far superior: the iPhone XR at long last accomplishes the sacred vessel of throughout the day battery life in an iPhone.
Maybe that is giving Apple excessively much credit – all things considered, there are a lot of Android telephones out there that can absolutely smoke the iPhone territory for power lifespan, giving you far longer between charges.
Apple has offered unpleasant battery life for quite a long time, incrementally enhancing it to be 'sufficiently great', and the iPhone XR is the principal iPhone we haven't had a genuine stress over every day – and that by itself could raise it to the statures of being the best iPhone at any point made.
Design And Screen
The structure of the iPhone XR is both recognizable and novel. For those used to the home catch, its misfortune will be a significant shock. It accompanies an advantage, however: the iPhone XR is all-screen on the front (bar the indent at the best) and gives you an all the more striking feel in the hand by and large.
The adjusted edges, as made reference to, are still in the equivalent I've-planned vein, feeling decent to the touch, and the metal back (completed in aluminum and glass, supplanting the steel of the iPhone XS match) likewise feels premium.
The glass on the front of the iPhone XR is intended to be among the most grounded in the business, and it's indistinguishable material from on the iPhone XS – in spite of the fact that we ought to caution you that we figured out how to either scratch or put a hairline crack (we don't know which, as it's so slight) on our iPhone XS inside weeks.
The back of the telephone isn't a similar quality of glass, however taking a gander at the horde insane clearing iPhone screens on the prepare to work it shows up the front of the telephone endures the worst part of accidents at any rate.
The iPhone XR has a similar catch design as 2017's iPhone X, with the huge Siri/bolt catch where the power key was beforehand, and the volume catches and silencer rocker on the right.
Design And Screen 2
It's splendid having the capacity to quiet the handset with a straightforward tap as an afterthought, however it still effortlessly swings itself to the 'sound booming' setting when you take it out a pocket or comparable, which means you'll get blocks blasting out, and simply following a couple of moments of glaring around to see who's left their telephone's sound on will you understand it's, well, you.
The base of another iPhone is still unfortunately shorn of the earphone jack – and no, to answer an inquiry presented to us a few days ago, there's zero chance of Apple regularly bringing it back.
What's irritating here, in any case, is that Apple has chosen to expel the connector from the container, where it was available with the iPhone X. You essentially won't have the capacity to utilize the costly jars you effectively claim except if you pay more for some metal and glass to change over your typical earphone jack to the Lightning association required.
The speakers best and base emanate stereo sound (which you can likewise record video in) despite the fact that they're not louder like on the iPhone XS match, so you'll not get a similar level of volume or lucidity directing out.
So, you will have the capacity to scrub down to proceed with the tunes, despite the fact that the XR is 'just' IP67 appraised. We say 'just' as the iPhone XS match are fit for being submerged for more, as they're IP68, yet in all actuality, the level of water opposition on the iPhone XR is more than sufficient for a great many people, which means you can wash it if things are getting filthy.
In case you're new to the all-screen configuration. How about we get something off the beaten path at this moment: indeed. The iPhone XR has a score at the best. It infringes into the screen. And it's no fortuitous event that Apple picked the 'planet' theme to promote these telephones. The dark scenery of which advantageously shrouds the cut taken out the highest point of the screen.
You will become accustomed to this after a brief time. It's for the most part not excessively terrible watching films for the most part. But rather it can hack out key data on a few motion pictures. Notwithstanding, the indent contains the imperative components of the Face ID camera. The forward-looking snapper for selfies. And the various sensors in there which assist your telephone with working its enchantment.
The general screen quality, as ever with an iPhone, is brilliant. And the new 6.1-inch Liquid Retina LCD innovation works to the perfection of conveying sharp lines and punchy hues. In any case, contrasted with the iPhone XS, it's not exactly as great quality. The poorer dark propagation is an undeniable distinction.
We likewise noticed that some applications look a little low-res. The content in WhatsApp, for example, doesn't appear as sharp and that is on account of; well, the screen isn't as sharp.
Apple made careful arrangements to disclose to us that the Liquid Retina show is a standout amongst. The most exceptional available; having been handcrafted for the brand to take into account the completely adjusted edges; of the presentation that are uniform best and base of the telephone.
That is fine, however, you're not getting the same number of pixels stuffed in there; with a thickness of 326 pixels for each inch contrasted with the 458 of the iPhone XS combine.
In case you're any sort of prepared iPhone client. You most likely won't be that inspired by the iPhone XR's camera. This shouldn't imply that it's not too bad. It's ground-breaking now and again, and frequently just takes a decent snap to absent much work; yet it doesn't generally enhance the iPhone's camera story that much.
Shorn of the optional sensor, the iPhone XR's camera doesn't exactly hit; the statures of those on the XS team. They offer some really shocking snaps on occasion; with inconceivable detail and splendor, and keeping in mind; that the XR isn't that a long ways behind it have not got the equivalent 'goodness' factor.
Again, there's nothing truly to censure it for; yet we never took a photograph that we were really awed by and needed to share. Maybe that is the scourge of the LCD screen too. However notwithstanding when taking a photograph with the XR that was comparative; as far as lighting and hues to one taken with the iPhone XS.
Where the iPhone XR battles the most is in picture mode. Where the XS has the equipment to carry out the activity. The XR is simply utilizing a product calculation to perceive. Where the human finishes and the foundation starts. So it knows which parts of the picture to obscure.
It's for the most part very powerful. However, one next to the other with the iPhone XS it's a poor connection. There's as yet bordering around areas of the subject; particularly on body parts, and the level of obscuring wasn't as solid. And keeping in mind that you can adjust this in the settings a short time later; it's a touch of tiring to need to do as such.
The Smart HDR mode still is functioning admirably; It is anything but a considerable measure diverse to past HDR modes that Apple has offered; yet improves the nature of photographs all the time.
In case you're consistently shooting anything with a pinch of sky or cloud. The thing that matters is checked and the little gleam of Live Video. Which just uses the crude video film shot from the sensor; demonstrates exactly how much things are enhanced. When the moving picture hops into the last still; and you see the impacts of the different handling traps.
In low light, things are entirely amazing. The handling doesn't appear to greatly bring down the nature of shots. When they're seen shut everything down, it truly draws out the brilliance of scenes. Notwithstanding uncovering more light than the human eye can see.
In general, the camera quality on the iPhone XR is okay. And it can run toe to toe with a huge number of different handsets available. The Smart HDR capacities of the iPhone XS are available. If not exactly as amazing as in the more costly model; and the low light execution keeps on being on the correct side of great.
As observed a year ago on the iPhone X. The yield of the body is excessively unforgiving and implies you likely won't utilize; the Stage Light or Stage light mono settings again and again; (where they cut out the foundation) yet in general we think the iPhone XR; is one of the better selfie cameras around, if for pretty much just usability.
The main time we felt the quick need to search for a charger was the morning after we inadvertently left the iPhone XR off the charger medium-term – and it was all the while chugging without end fine and dandy.
It's difficult to authoritatively state why the battery life is such a great amount of preferable on this telephone over some other iPhone we've tried, as there aren't that numerous progression that should have any kind of effect.
The equivalent A12 Bionic chipset keeps running at the core of this handset that is in the iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max. The XR is bolstered by just 3GB of RAM, contrasted with the 4GB in the XS match, however, that is more huge regarding general smartness and hard work in applications as opposed to having any conspicuous impact on battery life.
Along these lines, leaving that aside, it must be down to the way that this telephone is somewhat bigger and can hold a superior battery pack inside, and in addition the more effective screen.
That LCD show is by all accounts the genuine example of overcoming adversity here. It, not just figures out how to offer an affair that is not a million miles from the top of the line OLED shows Apple has conveyed to its more costly telephones, it's obviously more power-effective.
A model: one day we took the telephone off charge at 5:30 am. After some light informing early in the day, we at that point left the telephone in a sack until noontime. And scarcely any charge had dropped, so the reserve battery maintenance is pretty darn great.
Be that as it may, after that pursued a time of genuinely serious use; with the screen terminated for almost six hours of the day for arranged diverse web perusing; informing, and looking through Twitter. It was the sort of day that would be discussed around the fire at Camp; iPhone as a genuine frightfulness story.
In any case, notwithstanding everything that utilization; come 11 pm regardless we had 22% battery left – that is entirely great given. That we were appropriately pushing the iPhone XR as far as possible.
Another precedent: utilizing the XR as a hotspot. While in transit to work while doing some Bluetooth spilling has been a formula; for battery calamity previously. However here we were seeing a handset that didn't plunge beneath 90%.
When you consider that we've had a few handsets drop into the 60% territory. When playing out a similar arrangement of undertakings, that is truly great.
You've additionally got remote charging on tap. which besides the general accommodation implies that in the event. That you discover the telephone not charging in light of the fact that it's wet; (the Lightning port can bolt to stay away from shortcircuiting); you can, in any case, get some power in.
The main bizarre thing here is the score in our battery test. Where we circle an hour and a half video at the full splendor and perceive how much battery it devours. The iPhone XR dropped a not-immaterial 20%; or in other words, numerous different telephones, including less expensive ones.
In any case, the handset likewise began to get somewhat warm amid this test. So we will need to attempt it once more, as we were expecting under 10% battery drop.
Who's it for?
The individual that will appreciate the iPhone XR is somebody who's expected an update. Or is battling alongside an iPhone 6S or iPhone 7, and needs to future-evidence themselves a bit.
The camera will be an update, the battery life an appreciated ointment and the general plan a stage forward. We're never sold on the cases of the glass being ever-more grounded; until a genuinely crush evidence telephone shows up we're not troubled. But rather it's great to see that Apple is endeavoring to handle what's the main problem; for some clients by making the front of the telephone somewhat hardier.
With a scope of hues on offer, this is the more spending plan; and form cognizant iPhone purchaser's handset of decision; in case you've tucked away in the Apple method for things. Then you'll discover a considerable measure of appreciating on the iPhone XR.

Thrombin-antithrombin III complex in fulminant hepatic failure:evidence for disseminated intravascular coagulation and relationship to outcome
Langley, P G, Forbes, A ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0001-7416-9843, Hughes, R D and Williams, R (1990) Thrombin-antithrombin III complex in fulminant hepatic failure:evidence for disseminated intravascular coagulation and relationship to outcome. European Journal of Clinical Investigation, 20 (6). pp. 627-631. ISSN 0014-2972
Indirect evidence has suggested that intravascular coagulation may occur in patients with fulminant hepatic failure (FHF), the most severe form of acute liver disease. Thrombin is inhibited in circulation by antithrombin III, and measurement of the thrombin-antithrombin III complex (TAT) is a direct measure of thrombin formation. Using a new rapid enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay we have measured TAT in 54 patients on admission, with fulminant hepatic failure. TAT was significantly increased in patients with FHF compared with control subjects (25.8 +/- 2.7 micrograms l-1) compared with 2.6 +/- 0.2 micrograms l-1; n = 10: P less than 0.001). Patients who survived had significantly lower TAT levels than those who did not (17.2 +/- 2.7 micrograms l-1; n = 27 compared with 34.0 +/- 4.2 micrograms l-1; n = 27: P less than 0.005) and patients with FHF caused by viral hepatitis had significantly lower TAT levels than those with FHF due to paracetamol overdose (14.6 +/- 4.7 micrograms l-1; n = 9 compared with 28.0 +/- 3.1 micrograms l-1; n = 45: P less than 0.05). Levels of TAT correlated significantly with prothrombin time (r = 0.36, P less than 0.01) and inversely with fibrinogen (r = -0.51, P less than 0.001). There was no significant correlation with antithrombin III concentration. Thus, using a simple and rapid technique, we have been able to demonstrate increased levels of TAT complex in patients with FHF. This provides more direct evidence of intravascular coagulation and thrombin generation in these patients. These results confirm that the coagulation system is activated in FHF.

Q: Question on weak convergence of random variables Let $X_n, Y_n, X$ be real random variables such that $X_n \to X$ weakly and $\mathbb{P}_{Y_n} = N(0, 1/n)$ for all positive integers $n$.
I am trying to prove that $X_n + Y_n \to X$ weakly as well.
I have been trying to prove that $E[f(Y_n)] \to 0$ for all continuous bounded $f$, which would imply the statement. But i wasn't able to prove this, thought that this might be wrong approach.
I would be grateful for your hints or ideas.
Thanks.

A: For every $n\geqslant1$, $f(Y_n)$ is distributed as $Z_n=f(Y_1/\sqrt{n})$ and $Z_n\to f(0)$ almost surely because $f$ is continuous at $0$. Since $f$ is bounded, the sequence $(Z_n)_{n\geqslant1}$ is dominated hence, by dominated convergence, $\mathbb E(f(Y_n))=\mathbb E(Z_n)\to f(0)$ when $n\to\infty$.

etm were commissioned to create and produce a documentary featuring Williams F1
Like many other major employers, Williams F1 were massively affected by the Covid-19 pandemic. Earlier this year, the plug was pulled on the Australian Grand Prix whilst the Williams team were starting their practice laps on track. Suddenly leaving them with over a thousand employees, plus drivers and a substantial mobile support team to manage remotely.
Williams leaned heavily on their partnership with Cyber Giant Symantec, to support them during the crisis with remote working, networking of teams and security of their hugely valuable IP.
To tell this fascinating story they decided to do something different by commissioning etm productions to produce a documentary that could be used at forthcoming virtual events, and for broadcast on their YouTube and social media channels.
etm's starting point was a series of calls to understand the in's and outs, twists and turns of this complex narrative. The next big milestone was the writing of the script with parts created for all the main speakers from both Williams F1 and Symantec. Directing and filming was an interesting activity - on location at Williams HQ, with the film crew in full PPE, obeying all Covid-19, social distancing and security protocols. And yes, it was hard not to see the funny side of things, with plenty of photo opportunities of all the ridiculous and amusing circumstances we found ourselves in. A first in so many ways!!
Back to the studio with a huge amount of raw material to edit, along with B-roll footage, media library shots and audio tracks to lay down.
The result – one a-maz-ing video that we are incredibly proud of, and that the Williams F1 management team described as one of the best videos of its kind they had ever seen.
Praise indeed!!

We had a great time at our panel presentation and meeting folks from our community last night! Thanks so much for coming out to see us! Seems those who were there appreciated it to the fullest.
Another warm thanks to King County Library System and SnoValley Writes! for hosting us!
We'll be posting some excerpts, or perhaps the transcript or a video, of the evening's program soon.


Singapore's long awaited return to the M-league kicks off next week, and The New Paper will be throwing a launch party on 8 Jan 2012. Kwa Giu (Tribute to the National Stadium) will be screened at The New Paper Sports Bar (St James) from 6pm. The event is open to public and expect to see Singapore footballers old and new!
The full 30min film Kwa Giu (Hokkien for 'Watch Football') is out now on the Hosaywood DVD.


Samsung NX Mini and Sony RX100 are two compact digital cameras that are each armed with a 20MP one-inch backside-illuminated (BSI) sensor. Thanks to the BSI technology, compact digital cameras can now stay slim and lightweight while having good brightness and better performance. So, between Samsung NX Mini vs Sony RX100, which one is the better camera? Below, we will compare these two models against each other to help you choose. So, continue reading!
Both Samsung NX Mini and Sony RX100 are widely regarded as compact digital cameras, but how compact are they actually? Samsung NX Mini is the smaller and lighter one of the two – it measures only 110 mm x 62 mm x 23 mm with a weight of just 196 grams. In fact, this model has been boasted by the company as an ultra-slim camera. This is a great choice if you prefer a simple camera that you can pocket around. The housing is made of magnesium and plastic. The rear panel features a three-inch tilting touchscreen.
Sony RX100 is slightly bigger and heavier at 102 mm x 58 mm x 41 mm and 290 grams. However, the housing feels much more durable. The housing is made of sturdy aluminum that can withstand abuse. Unfortunately, just like Samsung NX Mini, Sony RX100 is not weather-sealed. So, it is not impervious to water and rain. On the rear panel, you can find a three-inch tilting display. The resolution is much higher, making the images more pleasant to look at. See also: Panasonic LX100 vs Sony RX100.
Both of the two models come with built-in Wi-Fi for easy connectivity. Samsung NX Mini has an impressive maximum shutter speed of 1/16,000s, while the ISO ranges from 160 – 12800 (expandable to 100 – 25600). It also has a mic port, which can be handy for video projects that require good audio quality. However, it does not have a viewfinder and image stabilization. The continuous shooting speed is only 6 fps, so it is not very good for photo bursts.
On the other hand, Sony RX100 features a built-in viewfinder and optical image stabilization. The stabilization is definitely very useful, as it can reduce the blurs on your images. The AF performance is quite impressive. It is fast and accurate. The continuous shooting speed is also quite good at 10 fps. This model has a built-in ND filter, which will allow you to use a larger aperture under a strong light.
Last but not least, the big difference between Samsung NX Mini vs Sony RX100 is the battery life. Samsung NX Mini has a significantly longer battery life. It can last for 650 shots per charge. On the other hand, Sony RX100 can only last for about 320 shots per charge.
Unless you need built-in image stabilization, Samsung NX Mini is more recommended. This model gives a better value for the money. It is slim and very portable, and the features are quite good. The battery life is also much better. On the other hand, Sony RX100 is quite a powerful camera with great AF and stabilization, but the price is quite expensive for the features.
