BEIJING, June 14, 2017 — Several days previously, Coolqi Bike – hailed as a titan of innovative technology – held a launch event at Peking University entitled "Redefining the Future of Travel", where it unveiled the Gold Edition of its unmistakable smart shared bikes. Though not the originator of shared bikes, Coolqi Bike (which was founded in 2016) is constantly surpassing its predecessors, and the launch of the Gold Edition marks its pioneering entry into the smart era.
Coolqi Bike (Beijing) Co. Ltd. is an internet company committed to using technological innovation to create green modes of transport and improve people's quality of life. Coolqi Bike not only boasts highly-experienced management, operational and technical teams, but also possesses a powerful production chain, ensuring advantages in the quality and distribution of its bikes. Currently, Coolqi Bike has over 1 million bikes in place in over 50 cities including Beijing, Shanghai, Hangzhou, Xi'an, Tianjin, Shenyang, Changsha, Taiyuan, and Shijia.
Coming on heels of the release of its Lite Edition, every detail of the new Gold Edition has been made by renowned manufacturers to provide users with optimal comfort and convenience. Coolqi Bike has innovatively employed a dustless vacuum coating process to create the gold-colored bikes, while the exclusively-designed single magnesium alloy body is stronger and lighter, the perfect combination of style and technology. Being the first bikes to feature silicone seats, the users' riding experience will become more comfortable. The Gold Edition bikes also feature specially-made tires that offer 50% more grip, greatly enhancing ride safety. The Gold Edition Coolqi Bike are also equipped with independently-developed next-generation smart locks, which are a core component of the bikes. Inside, the locks are fitted with GPS+ Beidou dual positioning, making unlocking easier and positioning more accurate.
In addition to enhancements in quality and functionality, one of the most remarkable aspects the Gold Edition is its three remarkable technologies that are leading the way for shared bikes' entry into the smart era. The first such technology is smart raising seats. Users simply enter their height into the app – which, after unlocking the bike, alters the height of the seat based on the user data. Users can also make their own adjustments according to their preferences. All data is recorded, so when using a Coolqi Bike in the future, the seat height is automatically altered to the pre-adjusted setting, truly making this a shared bike which is tailored to each user.
The second piece of technology is wireless and wired mobile phone charging cradles that are suitable for all phone models. Users can charge their phones during travel, solving problems of where to place the phone and battery life during navigation.
The third is smart voice locking and newly-added talk functionality, enabling the embedding of various practical information such as weather forecasts. It is the first talking shared bike in the market, hugely expanding the application potential of bikes in the future.
It's worth noting that the smart seat adjustment and other technological breakthroughs are all the result of independent R&D by Coolqi Bike. The Gold Edition combines over 30 exclusive technologies, most of which are industry firsts.
In addition, during the new product strategic launch party for the new bike, Coolqi Bike also announced strategic partnerships with Haier Wireless and Minsheng Bank. Haier wireless will be providing 10 million wireless docks for Coolqi Bike, an order worth 1 billion yuan. Minsheng Bank, meanwhile, will be embarking on a multi-faceted partnership with Coolqi Bike encompassing deposit management, remote messages, joint marketing, and setting-based applications. In particular, monitoring of user care deposits will put users' minds at ease when riding Coolqi Bike.
The first batch of the Coolqi Bike Gold Edition will be released in Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen, Hangzhou and Xi'an on the 7th June. "Since its founding, Coolqi Bike has adhered to the principle of putting the user experience first, which is what drives us to keep innovating. We're hoping to redefine the future of travel, and the Gold Edition vehicle is only the first step – in the future, Coolqi Bike will continue to employ technology and innovation to reinvent people's travel lifestyles," said Gao Weiwei, a senior figure from Coolqi Bike.

iPhone Security: Priceless
Mar 11, 2011 5:00 AM PT
The Android operating system continues to grow in popularity and the options it offers also have grown tremendously. Diversity can be a wonderful thing, but it may be coming at a cost in the form of a security risk. That's right -- everything you do on your phone is risky if you don't play by the rules.
So what are the rules? The rules are that you sign up for and stick to an expensive carrier plan and use the phone's features and approved apps as they were designed to be used. Sideloading, or transferring files directly from your computer to your Android phone, puts the phone and everything you do on it at risk.
My intention is not to be scaremongering, because the possibilities of getting hit are slim. Looking at the numbers, though, it's easy to see how things could get dicey fast.
I've heard (though I can't verify this) that more than 25 percent of smartphone users make purchases with credit cards. Assuming for the sake of argument that it's true, the dangers are obvious.
Red Alert
In fact, this threat level may not have a rival -- not even considering some of the old Windows security risks. This goes further than clicking on the wrong download and getting a bug; this means putting your social and financial resources at risk.
But that's not all. If you own a company -- or work for a company -- and place important company information on your phone, you've placed the company at risk as well.
This is where Apple gets a ton of credit. As I noted in a previous column, Apple does not spread itself thin in terms of product options, and this makes it easier to repair its hardware.
Similarly, the software is integrated for the existing hardware, so functionality is very good. In fact, Apple scores a bit of a trifecta when you take into account its management of security issues.
To upload on the iPhone from the computer, iTunes is needed. It is not as easy as plugging in a USB to any old computer, and grabbing any folder and file. With Android, there is no screening process, as anything goes.
It is a numbers game, and many individuals and companies will get hit at some point, although the overall severity of the problem is yet to unfold.
Run for the Hills?
If you own a large company, this is something that you should take seriously. The phone service rep and IT guys should give a you full-blown overview of what not to do and how to avoid trouble.
"The latest Trojan horse for Google's Android operating system has been seen posing in Chinese third-party app stores as legitimate programs such as Wallpaper apps," the NakedSecurity blog recently warned.
The official Android Market, run by Google, does not appear to be carrying these malicious apps -- but if you go "off road" and choose to install software on your smartphone from elsewhere on the Net, then you could be putting your device at risk.
The vast majority of Android users probably have little to fear. But those who do install applications from unknown sources do need to recognize that they might be putting their smartphone, data and potentially their finances in danger.
Perhaps I've been hanging out with my conservative friend and listening to Glenn Beck too much, but you should be afraid -- BE VERY AFRAID. The Android OS was created by Google, Google is run by China, and search rankings are nothing more than mass propaganda (also something I heard but can't verify).
Subtraction by Addition
There is no motivation for phone companies to tone down on their product supply and "open source" approaches. It is easier for a company to create a new product than to enhance a current one. Regulations and paper shuffling are responsible for this.
Google has put out a large amount of propaganda emphasizing the fact that Android is "open," and the iPhone is "closed."
If options are your thing, then Android may be the way to go. Everyone is different, and there is no point in getting self-righteous in terms of what phone you use. Just remember, if you use an Android, don't make modifications off the grid unless you are sure it's worth it.

Though her best known role may be that of Rose DeWitt Bukater in the highest-grossing film of all time, ''Titanic'' (1997), she was also highly regarded for her first role as Juliet Hulme in ''Heavenly Creatures'' (1994).
Kate Winslet
Although Winslet has not won an Academy Award, she has been highly favoured by the Academy, and holds the record for the youngest person to receive two Oscar nominations, as well as the record for the most Oscar nominations of any actor before the age of 30 (having received a total of four nominations by that age).

To the editor:
Many people have made the comparison between Barack Obama and Abraham Lincoln. The comparison has also been made between Obama and Robert Kennedy, who ran for president in 1968. Like Abraham Lincoln, Obama is a very tall, lanky young senator from Illinois. Like Bobby Kennedy, he is campaigning for "change" during the time of a very controversial foreign war. But, when looking deeper at the moral issues of the day, Obama does not stand up to these two great men.
Abraham Lincoln and Robert Kennedy were great men because they stood up for the unpopular moral issues of their day. In the days of Lincoln and Kennedy, a black person was considered less than human and therefore denied certain human rights. In today's society, it is the child in the womb who is denied the most basic human right, the right of life. Not only is Obama in favor of allowing abortion at any point of the nine months of pregnancy, he has voted against Illinois legislation that would protect the life of a child who survives a failed abortion. Obama, with his voting record on abortion, does not compare with Lincoln or Kennedy in standing up for the basic human dignity of the American citizen.

A CAVEAT: We've gone through several editorial changes since we started covering films in 1992 and some of our early standards were not as stringent as they are now. We therefore need to revisit many older reviews, especially those written prior to 1998 or so; please keep this in mind if you're consulting a review from that period. While we plan to revisit and correct older reviews our resources are limited and it is a slow, time-consuming process.

Fairfield Ludlowe
Last year, the Falcons went 22-3 overall, including trips deep into the postseason tournaments. Ludlowe lost five varsity players, including four starters, so some returning players will have to step up and others on the team may have to emerge for the Falcons to contend again.
"We have the potential to be a great team as long as we realize that we are not there yet. The hard work needed every day, especially early in the season, will pay great rewards at the end of the season and postseason," said Ludlowe coach John Reisert, whose career record stands at 263-67. "We are excited to defend the FCIAC title and (FCIAC) Eastern Division title, and hope to have another opportunity to play for a state title."
The strength of this squad, Reisert says, is its in its singles play, and in the overall depth of talent. To begin the year, the top four singles players in order are junior Lindsey Evans (All-State, All-FCIAC in 2013), senior Daria Efimov (All-FCIAC East), junior Cami Adajian (unbeaten and team MVP a year ago) and junior Kyra Adajian.
Senior captains are Efimov and doubles player Chelsea Keane.
Junior Sarah Jennings partners with Keane. Other doubles players are juniors Lauren Hilliker, Lexi Brown, Julia Cheung, Ana Wykoff and Olivia Gulian, along with sophomore Maddie Leverty. Junior Danielle Fox could be a factor in singles.
The Falcons expect tough competition from Darien, a team Reisert expects to be a top contender along with Staples and Wilton. "You can never count out Greenwich or New Canaan, either," said Reisert, whose team beat New Canaan in the conference title match before falling to the Rams in the Class L Championships.
Reisert is looking for the doubles lineup to take shape and develop into a strength, much like the singles, as the season unfolds.
"We will need to be ready for every team's best effort. The returning singles players are a big plus for us. We will need to work at replacing the doubles experience that graduated from last season," Reisert said.
The Falcons are set to begin the regular slate on Wednesday when New Canaan visits for a 4 p.m. match.
Fairfield Warde
Coming off a season of double-digit wins, the Mustangs have high hopes for bettering their record this spring. And why not? They lost only one player/starter to graduation.
The Mustangs "hope to improve on that record, now that our players have a year's experience behind them," nine-year Warde coach Marilynn Jamgochian said.
"Determination and dedication -- their no-excuses attitude," in Jamgochian's eyes, are Warde's strengths.
The players will need to ride that no-excuses approach through a rough start to the campaign, since injuries and illness have slowed progress in preseason.
Sophomores Emily Simmonds and Jennie Schneider are vying for the top singles spot, and the other appears in position to play No. 2 singles, Jamgochian said. Senior Mackenzie Burns is the team's third singles player, and senior Emily Schmerzler will play No. 4 singles. New-to-varsity juniors Liz Gallucci and Darci Byington, who played JV doubles a year ago, are contending for playing time. Seniors Megan Hines, Erin Hines, Hannah Greehall and Morgan Miller, along with juniors Ashley Aufiero and Mary Ball, were battling for positions as well as the preseason wrapped up this week.Read Full Article
Megan and Erin Himes, and Burns are the team captains.
"I have a lot of confidence in this team. Their effort and execution, so far, shows me they are really committed to playing their best tennis ever," Jamgochian said.
The season begins Wednesday when Wilton visits for a 4 p.m. match -- the first of three straight home contests to begin the season.
No report on Notre Dame-Fairfield is featured because a request to submit information on the team by the coach was not received in time.

Unfortunately, this was the second construction accident within one week in Raleigh. On January 22, 2014, a platform collapsed at North Carolina State University and three workers were injured. Fortunately, none of the injuries appear to be life-threatening. However, one of the injuries involved a trauma to the head which is always cause for serious concern.
Falls are the leading cause of fatalities in the construction industry. According to OSHA, the four main causes for workplace falls are (1) unprotected sides, wall openings, and floor holes, (2) improper scaffold construction, (3) unguarded protruding steel rebars, and (4) the misuse of portable ladders.
In North Carolina, we follow the "unexplained-fall rule" which holds that "if an employee sustains a fall and there is no evidence that it arose from a cause independent of the employment, compensation [i.e. disability and medical benefits] should be allowed." North Carolina Workers' Compensation: Law and Practice, with Forms, 4th Edition, Leonard T. Jernigan, Jr.
While workers' compensation benefits should be provided in these type of cases, in some situations the injured worker may also have a personal injury claim against one of the building contractors.

A rash of incidents involving students bringing "deadly weapons" to school has prompted Los Alamos Public Schools Superintendent Dr. Gene Schmidt to issue a statement regarding the events.
"It is important for the community to know that student safety is non-negotiable and that students who bring weapons to school will be disciplined," Schmidt said. The full version of his comments can be found by clicking here. "Parents are encouraged to talk with their children about the importance of following rules written in school handbooks."
Schmidt also stressed in his statement that his coming forward on the issue should not be a cause for alarm. He noted that of the 3,500 students enrolled in the school system, only a few students were caught with what could be called weapons in the past few weeks.
One incident involved a student, who brought a black-handled folding knife with a four-inch blade to school. He was turned in by students, who heard him talking about the knife. Though the incident was reported on a Friday, (Feb. 22) the juvenile wasn't disciplined until Monday when he made a full confession to authorities about why he brought the knife to school.
"He stated to the principal that he was the owner of the knife and that he was rushed that Friday morning and forgot to check his pockets," Ofc. Robert Stephens said in his report. "He said that he got scared and stashed the knife inside the trash can and was going to pick it up after school." The student was then referred to juvenile authorities.
Two days later, also at Los Alamos Middle School, two students were caught with another folding knife. This time, the school punished the two students because one had sold it to the other.
This knife had one one-inch blade and a two-inch blade. That case, too, was referred to juvenile authorities.
The latest incident happened March 4 at the high school, when a student brought a pair of brass knuckles to school.
"They appeared to be made from lead weights," said Cpl. Jordan Redmond, the school's resource officer.
That student was also referred to juvenile authorities.
Schmidt said he believes these students weren't acting out of malice.
"I don't think these kids are frightened or fearful of anything," he said. "They just weren't thinking."
He also added the best thing parents can do is to have a conversation with their kids about school policy, and to have them make sure and check their clothes before leaving for school.

Currently my main line is a little too long which makes it pop a little slow and the chute material is way too porous, (I used a bandana) but it still works great. The video quality sucks I know but you can still see how effective this thing is. This pass was at 88 according to telemetry. It has already saved me quite a few dollars in broken parts, lol.

Summary Edit
From the back cover: While answering a distress call from a scientific station in a remote part of the galaxy, the U.S.S. Enterprise becomes infected with a mysterious alien life form which feeds on and transforms inorganic materials.
The Starship begins to gradually disintegrate, and Starfleet is forced to order its evacuation and destruction to prevent the dangerous infection from spreading throughout the galaxy. It's the end of an era for Captain Picard and his crew, who are scheduled for transfers that will split them up among different Starfleet vessels.
But even as the end draws near for the Starship Enterprise, Captain Picard begins to formulate a desperate plan to save his ship and preserve his crew -- a plan that will force him to defy Starfleet orders and lead him to a confrontation with a malevolent alien force which has the power to destroy the entire Federation.

Country distribution from AmphibiaWeb's database: Thailand
Range Description
This species is known with certainty only from Kohtao Island, Thailand. However, the tradition has become to assign most striped caecilians from mainland Southeast Asia to this name, as mapped. The attributed range of this species is Peninsular and Mainland Thailand, southeastern Myanmar, Lao People's Democratic Republic, Cambodia and Viet Nam. However, this requires further examination, and the taxonomy might be faulty. Specimens from Yunnan in China are attributed here to Ichthyophis bannanicus.
Habitat and Ecology
It is known to inhabit evergreen forest and streamside gallery forest, as well as agricultural lands and urban areas. A population of Ichthyophis cf. kohtaoensis from the Mekong valley, northeastern Thailand, was found in various terrestrial macrohabitats including open scrubs, gallery forests and open secondary forests. In the dry season, individuals of this population were found mainly in soil but in the rainy season they were also detected in leaf litter or rotten vegetation (Kupfer et al. 2005). This is an oviparous species with terrestrial eggs and aquatic larvae in forest streams and pools. The clutch size for the population from the Mekong Valley ranges from 32-58 eggs (Kupfer et al. 2006). It is considered to be an adaptable species.
There are places within its range where it appears to be locally abundant. In the Mekong Valley, Thailand, individuals have been recorded at low densities (median 0.08 individuals/m²) (Kupfer et al. 2005).
Population Trend
Major Threats
It is an adaptable species that is unlikely to be facing any significant threats.
Conservation Actions
It occurs in many protected areas.
Red List Status
Least Concern (LC)
Taxonomic Notes
This is a very poorly circumscribed species in need of taxonomic review (M. Wilkinson pers. comm.). Old records of Ichthyophis glutinosus in Southeast Asia are tentatively included here, with the expectation that further taxonomic research will separate this species into several taxa.

Originally posted on Fox Sports Florida | Last updated 2/9/13
MIAMI Michael Jordan starred in "Space Jam." Apparently, LeBron James now also is out of this world. After seeing what James has done this week, Miami Heat teammate Dwyane Wade only could gaze out at the universe to provide an adequate description. "He's off the planet right now," Wade said. "He's not even the best basketball player on the planet. He's surpassed the planet to somewhere else. He's in the galaxy right now." James had another game Friday night in which he was hanging around the Milky Way. In a 111-89 drubbing of the Los Angeles Clippers at AmericanAirlines Arena, he shot 9-of-11 for a game-high 30 points while not needing to play in the fourth quarter. Plug in what James has done in his past four games and the field-goal percentage that comes out makes it appear the calculator is in error. He has shot 43-of-59 for 72.9 percent. Considering James made his final four field-goal attempts last Sunday at Toronto, the first in the four-game stretch, he's drilled 37 of his last 47 shots for 78.7 percent. "You look at the numbers, it says that I haven't," James said when asked if he's ever had a shooting stretch like this, including in pee-wee ball. "You go by the numbers, I guess. Have I been in a grove where I felt like I can do so many things? Yeah, I've felt that way. But as far as the shooting percentages, the numbers don't lie. So I guess I haven't." James last Monday shot 13-of-14 against Charlotte, his 92.9 percent being the best shooting game of his 10-year career. James' 81.8-percent night Friday merely tied for the second-best effort of his career. So what's next for James? He was asked if he's striving for the perfect game in terms of not missing an attempt. "I would love to do it," James said. "Who wouldn't want to go a game without missing a shot? But I don't go putting pressure on myself, saying, Don't miss a shot.' I just go out and play and the results of going 13-or-14 or 9-for-11 or whatever the case may be, has happened." The 9-for-11 actually was more impressive than the 13-for-14. In the game against Charlotte, James shot every single attempt inside the paint. And the game was against the woebegone Bobcats. But Friday's outing was against the Clippers (35-17), who arrived with the fourth-best record in the NBA. And James shot 4-of-5 from 3-point range. James also should have gone 9-of-10. After starting out 6-of-6, he did not get a favorable hometown scoring ruling when tied up under the basket early in the third quarter by Clippers center DeAndre Jordan. It was ruled a blocked shot and a jump ball for James' first miss of the night. "No, I didn't," James said about whether it should have been regarded as a shot. "Whatever. It's cool." Baseball scorers sometimes make adjustments the next day on plays that either are or aren't errors. Maybe there will be late change and James will be credited for 9-of-10. Nevertheless, it seems as if one of the toughest aspects of Miami coach Erik Spoelstra's job now comes during the post-game interview. He must try to come up with new ways to describe James' play. "We try to come up with new superlatives every single game," Spoelstra said. "He's the best player in the game, and he's continuing to re-invent himself. If you had to grade shootaround today, he was spectacular. This guy isn't trying to shy away from work ethic or preparation. He's getting after it. My film sessions, he treats them like he's a coach." So James on Friday was the MVP of the morning shootaround and of the game at night. It wasn't immediately clear if James missed any shots during the shootaround. But James had help at night in the superlative department. The Heat (33-14) played their best game of the season in blowing the Clippers out of the building. Miami led by as much as 80-57 late in the third quarter. James was given the night off after the third quarter, when the Heat were leading 93-68 and busy shooting 62.7 percent (they finished at 52.9 percent after mostly scrubs went 4-of-17 in the fourth quarter). Wade helped James out with 20 points and point guard Mario Chalmers had 18 while shooting 5-of-8 on 3-pointers. Wade played despite missing the shootaround with the flu. Center Chris Bosh and Ray Allen also stayed home due to similar illnesses, and both also missed the game. So the Heat were shorthanded and the Clippers had their entire team intact for the first time all season. Returning from injuries were All-Star starters Chris Paul, who had missed the previous nine games, and Blake Griffin, who had missed the previous two, along with Jamal Crawford and Chauncey Billups. "We didn't want them coming in and getting their rhythm back on us," Wade said. James made sure early that wouldn't happen. He shot 3-of-3 in both the first and second quarters and the Heat led 62-50 at halftime. James even had two blocks in the first half as well as the most crowd-pleasing moment of the night. When the ball went into the fifth row of the stands, a fan threw it back. James then tossed the ball back to the man, who who returned it James as the crowd roared its approval. There was plenty to cheer about all night for James. In fact, even Paul, who is a good friend, had to marvel at his showing. "LeBron is unbelievable," said Paul, who wasn't, shooting 1-of-5 for three points. "He can play. When he's shooting the ball like that, he's almost unguardable." Or simply out of this world.

Egypt, officially the Arab Republic of Egypt, is a country mainly located in North Africa, with a part, named the Sinai, in Southwest Asia.
It is also considered located in the Middle East, which is a zone on the borders of Europe, Africa and Asia.
The country is enclosed to the north by the Mediterranean Sea, to the northeast by the Gaza Strip and Israel, to the east by the Red Sea, to the south by Sudan and Libya to the west.
Covering 1,001,449 km2, Egypt has a land area about 3 times as big as that of Vietnam, and with a population of 79 million people, it is one of the most populous countries in Africa and the Middle East.
Egypt is mainly made by a big sandy and path desert which cover 95% of the territory.
It is fully crossed from South to North by the Nile River, a major River generally regarded as the longest one in the world (6,650 km long). The Nile ends by a large delta in the Mediterranean Sea.
The Nile Valley is known as Upper Egypt, while the Nile Delta region is known as Lower Egypt.
Despite covering only about 5.5% of the total area of Egypt, the Nile Valley and Nile Delta are the most important regions, being the country's only cultivable regions and supporting about 99% of the population.
Egypt owns the Suez Canal, a navigable waterway that connects the Mediterranean Sea with the Indian Ocean by way of the Red Sea. Build by the French Ferdinand de Lesseps, it opened in November 1869, and allows water transportation between Europe and Asia without turn around Africa.
The canal is owned and maintained by the Suez Canal Authority of the Arab Republic of Egypt. Under international agreement, it may be used "in time of war as in time of peace, by every boat of commerce or of war, without distinction of flag."
Egypt's economy depends mainly on agriculture, petroleum exports, tourism and taxes from the Suez Canal.
An estimated 2.7 million Egyptians are living abroad and supply actively to the development of their country through transfer of money (US$ 7.8 billion in 2009).
More than 12.8 million tourists visited Egypt in 2008, providing revenues of nearly $11 billion. The tourism industry employs about 12 percent of Egypt's workforce.
The Suez Canal is now the third supply of foreign currency with an amount of around $4 billion in 2007.
Egyptian culture has six thousand years of recorded history.
Ancient Egypt was among the earliest civilizations and for millennia Egypt maintained a stable culture that influenced later cultures of Europe, Middle East and other African countries.
The main touristic sites are:
- Giza, about 20 km southwest of Cairo, is the site of some of the most impressive and oldest ancient monuments in the world, including the Great Sphinx, the Great Pyramid of Giza, and a number of other large pyramids and temples.
- Saqqara, some 30 km south of Cairo is a vast, ancient burial ground which served as the necropolis for the Ancient Egyptian capital of Memphis. It features numerous pyramids, including the world's oldest standing step pyramid, as well as a number of mastabas.
- Luxor, about 500 km south of Cairo, is the site of the ancient city of Thebes and has sometimes been called "the world's greatest open air museum". It includes the ruins of the temple complexes at Karnak and Luxor, which stand within the modern city. On the opposite side of the Nile River lie the monuments, temples and tombs on the West Bank Necropolis, which include the Valley of the Kings and Valley of the Queens.
- Abu Simbel, about 850 km south of Cairo is an archaeological site comprising two massive rock temples originally carved out of a mountainside during the reign of Pharaoh Ramesses II (13th century BC). The complex was relocated in its entirety in the 1960s to avoid being underwater during the creation of Aswan High Dam reservoir. They are now situated on an artificial hill above the Lake Nasser.
- Alexandria is a main summer resort, due to its beaches, ancient history and Museums, especially the Bibliotheca Alexandrina, a modern project based on reviving the ancient Library of Alexandria.
- Sinai Peninsula- Sinai has become a tourist destination due to its natural setting, rich coral reefs, and biblical history. Most popular tourist destination in Sinai is Mount Sinai ("Jabal Musa") and St. Catherine's Monastery, which is considered to be the oldest working christian monastery in the world, and the beach resorts of Sharm el-Sheikh, Dahab, Nuweiba and Taba.

Topeka The Kansas State Board of Education started its new term Tuesday by signaling the demise of anti-evolution science standards.
Members agreed to include the controversial theory in statewide tests that Kansas students start taking in March.
The board's new direction culminated 18 months of vigorous debate about evolution and what students should be taught.
"I wish all education issues attracted this kind of attention," said John Poggio, a KU professor hired to develop the statewide science tests.
In August 1999, Kansas was thrust on the international stage after the board adopted science standards that de-emphasized evolution. The standards are used as the foundation to develop statewide science tests.
The board's decision was ridiculed by many scientists while defended by many creationists.
Pro-evolutionists, many from Lawrence and the Kansas University community, stirred sentiment against the board. In last year's election, power shifted from the conservatives and a pro-evolution majority came to the education board.
Leonard Krishtalka, director of KU's Natural History Museum and Biodiversity Research Center, was one of those leading the drumbeat in favor of evolution.
"Bravo," Krishtalka said when told of the board developments.
"Kansas will now return to educational excellence by adopting nationally accepted science standards," he said.
"All of Lawrence and people across the state deserve credit for keeping this high on the radar screen during the elections," Krishtalka said.
Two of three anti-evolution candidates were defeated in last year's election, which resulted in the majority that wants to put evolution back into the standards.
But while Krishtalka was happy for the change, Tom Willis, president of the Creation Science Association of Mid-America, a Missouri-based group that helped put the anti-evolution standards together, was resigned that evolution will be taught in Kansas schools.
"The Bible teaches that we will turn aside from the truth," Willis said.
"It doesn't surprise me at all," he said. "They (those who favor teaching evolution) can't stand to have an alternative position presented."
Krishtalka said scientists are tolerant of religious beliefs but that religion shouldn't be taught as science.
Though no vote was taken Tuesday by the board to put evolution into the standards, the Education Department directed Poggio to have tests that cover the theory ready by February.
Poggio, director of KU's Center for Educational Testing and Evaluation, said fourth-, seventh- and 10th-graders will take the tests in March and April.

Hello WordPress team!
I'm having an issue wih tmy http://odeeisawesome.wordpress.com site. I just switched to your Newsworthy theme and i'm really loving it. Last week i uploaded a custom background and so far i like how my blog looks, but now i am unable to customize the colors. Every time i go to Appearance > Customize, it just says "Loading Design Tools..." on the right but a complete white space on the left. I thought of using another free theme and then go back to Newsworthy but the design tools still wouldn't load. It's weird because they load on Premium themes though.
The things i have done so far are:
> signed out, signed back in at WP
> clear cache/cookies of my browser (Google Chrome)
> used another browser (Firefox, IE)
> used a different computer and a different ISP
None of these things worked. What else can i do? All i want is to change the color of my blog title (Constantly Reinventing) and tagline (odeeisawesome.wordpress.com) to white. :-(
Hoping you could help me out, thanks and more power!
The blog I need help with is odeeisawesome.wordpress.com.

Health and fitness clubs across Britain are installing equipment which gives you the benefits of a vigorous workout while you do something else. The machines, which use vibration therapy literally to shake people fit, are part of a growing trend towards 'passive exercise'.
The manufacturers of one machine called a Power Plate, which has been introduced in dozens of gyms, claim a mere 12-minute session provides the same improvements as a 90-minute vigorous workout. Users sit or stand on a revolving plate which stimulates their muscles by sending hundreds of vibrations per minute into them. They can do sit-ups, lunges or hamstring stretches while being gently shaken, but many just enjoy the experience.
David Lloyd Leisure clubs have put Power Plates into several of their branches. 'Part of the attraction to our members is that you can perform exercises on it without really doing much work. It doesn't leave you sweaty', said Linden Henson, general manager at the David Lloyd outlet in South Kensington, London, which has two of the machines. 'Some people use it because they see it as a quick, easy way to get a workout. These are people who don't want to put too much effort into keeping fit. They believe they can get benefits quicker than doing exercises yourself on machines in the gym in the traditional way.'
All people have to do is stand on the plate, turn the machine on, decide the level of intensity they want and then ensure they keep their balance. As the vibrations move you around, the muscles have to work to keep the user upright. 'Some people do perform exercises like squats on it. But a lot of ladies lie on their backs on the floor beside it, put their legs onto it and get a sort of intense massage, rather than doing any actual exercise on it', said Henson.
Power Plate spokeswoman Karen Davis claims the equipment is aimed at 'time-poor' busy people who cannot spend as much time in the gym as they would like, and at people with conditions such as arthritis, osteoporosis and multiple sclerosis, rather than lazy people looking for a shortcut to fitness.
Football clubs such as Portsmouth, Celtic and Rangers, and sports stars such as rower Matt Pinsent and rugby player Kenny Logan all use Power Plate machines. The vibration therapy on which they are based was originally developed by Soviet scientists to help combat astronauts' loss of bone density in space.
But fitness experts are sceptical about the benefits of such equipment. 'Claims about this being a speedy way to fitness may well be misleading. It's a bit like those "how to lose a stone in 28 days" diets. It's trading on the fact that most people who try to improve their health or fitness want quick results,' said one leading industry figure.
Sports scientist John Brewer is adamant that, while vibration therapy has some benefits, it does not enhance fitness. 'It relaxes you, is almost a mechanical form of massage and may improve recovery from an injury by stimulating the blood supply in a particular area of the body. But it definitely cannot improve fitness. There's very little evidence to show that at all.
'The main health and fitness benefit we need from exercise is to stimulate your heart and lungs. The heart is the most important muscle in the body and exercising it is critical, but these machines definitely don't lead to increased heart rate that will help improve your health and fitness,' he said.

It seems the page is more natter than in-game questions. I did call for a lock, but no answer yet. We need some word done on here. Keep in mind, asking why "a monster has that name or why it's boring" is really unrelated to the game and unneeded. However, explaining why such and such monster gets an upgrade makes a little sense. This also includes the Fairy-related stuff. It needs a major cleanup, basically. If it does get a lock, could we start a nice Sandbox version of it and eventually put it up, perhaps with a note about the Natter/questions that shouldn't be asked?

Dwindling defence - who else will follow Nemanja Vidic out of Old Trafford?
Nemanja Vidic announced he is leaving Manchester United at the end of the season and is unlikely to be the last defender to do so.
David Moyes has suggested that there will be change in personnel in the summer after a disappointing season so far, characterised by below-par performances from the reigning Premier League champions.
The defence could well see the biggest clearout and the United captain is unlikely to be the last to see his United career come to an end in May.
Patrice Evra
In the eight years he has been at Old Trafford the left-back has been a huge success, a nightmare debut against Manchester City aside.
His £5.5 million transfer to United has proved to be a shrewd piece of business, but after nearly 350 games, five Premier League titles and a Champions League, his time at Old Trafford could well be coming to an end.
Out of contract at the end of the season, David Moyes has made no secret of his desire to add competition in this area, with Leighton Baines close to joining last summer.
Has played 18 league games this season, but was told he is no longer an automatic choice and the vice-captain is tipped to follow in Vidic's footsteps and leave at the end of the campaign, having both joined the club together in January 2006.
Rio Ferdinand
After forming one of the meaning centre-half partnerships in the Premier League with Vidic, Rio Ferdinand looks increasingly likely to follow the Serbian's footsteps this summer, though not entirely on his own terms.
The 35 year-old had been a rock at the United defence since joining for £30 million in 2002, but niggling injuries and the emergence of Jonny Evans has seen his influence reduced in recent years. The former England international been used even more sparingly by David Moyes this season, featuring just seven times in the top-flight.
Has cut a more frustrated figure on the sidelines and his recent tweet about who would be the next Premier League manager to be sacked was depicted by some as a dig at Moyes, something he vehemently denied.
With 444 appearances for United and 10 major trophies, will look back on a highly successful period at the club, even if the final season will leave a sour taste.
Chris Smalling
Like so many of his colleagues this season, his form has dropped off considerably over the course of the past 12 months.
Has been utilised more often at right-back than centre-half and perhaps the chopping and changing has hindered his progress, but there have been glaring lapses in concentration throughout the campaign.
Moyes has spoken about giving players the chance to impress and if they fail to do so will find themselves surplus to requirements in the summer and on that score could badly do with an improvement in form.
On course to feature in more league games than any other season at Old Trafford, a result of injuries to those around him rather than overly impressive performances on the pitch.
His positional play and distribution have been called into question on a number of occasions but is expected to get at least another season to demonstrate his undoubted potential.
Alex Buttner
In the summer of August 2012 Vitesse Arnhem agreed to sell Buttner to Southampton, but that move was scuppered and he agreed a five-year deal at Old Trafford instead. In a twist of fate, the failed move allowed Luke Shaw to claim the left-back position at St. Marys and the highly sought-after English teenager is now a reported transfer target for Moyes.
The Dutch full-back has struggled on the few occasions he has played this season – just eight games in all competitions – and with uncertainty over Patrice Evra's future will never get a better opportunity to stake a claim in the first team.
A player likely to seek pastures new in the summer and if he doesn't, can expect little more than reserve team and Capital One Cup action if he remains.
Rafael and Fabio da Silva
While Fabio's future looks likely to be away from the Red Devils – his loan move to Cardiff City follows on from a similar stint at QPR last year and is out of contract at the end of the season – the form of Rafael will also be of concern to the United manager.
The right-back has over the past couple of years eliminated the number of rash tackles and concentrated more on his defensive duties, but has looked vulnerable for the majority of what has been a difficult season for United.
Whether their agent told Italian press that he expects both players to leave in the summer as part of a negotiating tactic remains to be seen, but odds are that at least one of the twins will be playing elsewhere for the 2014/15 season.

Oxford University Press
304 pages
Product Description
Societies and entire nations draw their identities from certain founding documents, whether charters, declarations, or manifestos. The Book of Common Prayer figures as one of the most crucial in the history of the English-speaking peoples. First published in 1549 to make accessible the devotional language of the late Henry the VIII's new church, the prayer book was a work of monumental religious, political, and cultural importance. Within its rituals, prescriptions, proscriptions, and expressions were fought the religious wars of the age of Shakespeare. This diminutive book--continuously reformed and revised--was how that age defined itself.

In Shakespeare's Common Prayers, Daniel Swift makes dazzling and original use of this foundational text, employing it as an entry-point into the works of England's most celebrated writer. Though commonly neglected as a source for Shakespeare's work, Swift persuasively and conclusively argues that the Book of Common Prayer was absolutely essential to the playwright. It was in the Book's ambiguities and its fierce contestations that Shakespeare found the ready elements of drama: dispute over words and their practical consequences, hope for sanctification tempered by fear of simple meaninglessness, and the demand for improvised performance as compensation for the failure of language to fulfill its promises. What emerges is nothing less than a portrait of Shakespeare at work: absorbing, manipulating, reforming, and struggling with the explosive chemistry of word and action that comprised early modern liturgy. Swift argues that the Book of Common Prayer mediates between the secular and the devotional, producing a tension that makes Shakespeare's plays so powerful and exceptional. Tracing the prayer book's lines and motions through As You Like It, Hamlet, Twelfth Night, Measure for Measure, Othello, and particularly Macbeth, Swift reveals how the greatest writer of the age--of perhaps any age--was influenced and guided by its most important book.

How to Install CentOS in VirtualBox
Virtualization is a great tool for testing, learning, and general server skills practice. Using a virtualization tool like VirtualBox, you can install a server operating system within a virtual machine on your desktop or laptop. Once installed, you can pretty much do whatever you want with it and use it to learn more about your server in a safe environment.
For example, you may have a new application that you want to install on your server, but you want to make sure it will be fully compatible and run at a high performance level. You can test it by installing it within your virtual machine. Even if something goes wrong, neither your server nor your own computer will be affected.
These instructions assume you have already downloaded the CentOS ISO. To install CentOS in VirtualBox, do the following:
- Click the "New" button and then click "Next" to proceed
- Give your virtual machine a name
- For OS Type, select "Linux", and for version, choose "Red Hat"
- On the memory screen, choose a reasonable amount. 512MB should be enough.
- Choose "Create a new hard disk" and go through the disk creation wizard.
- Once you are finished click "Finish"
- Click the "Settings" button
- Choose "Storage" from the side options
- In the Storage Tree, click the first icon next to "IDE Controller" to add a CD/DVD device
- When it asks you if you want to choose one, click "Choose disk"
- When your file dialog appears, choose the CentOS ISO
- Click the System option on the left
- In the Boot Order section, make sure CD/DVD-ROM is selected and moved to the top
- Click "OK"
- Click the "Start" button
At this point, VirtualBox should boot the CD. If you are using the LiveCD, it will boot CentOS, and you can then install from the desktop. If it is an install-only CD, just go through the normal installation process. When it is fully installed, you can change the boot order in VirtualBox to make it boot to the hard disk first. You should now have a working virtual machine of CentOS.

Understand your fellow gymgoers. The following are the first few entries in a crude dictionary I'm putting together of fitness lingo.
Jacked Big and muscular.
Damn... I just saw a picture of the Cowboys' Terrell Owens with his shirt off and that dude is jacked."
"Sean eats seven meals a day; he's getting jacked."
Origin: It probably derives from the image of jacking up a car--pumping your arms looks like you're inflating yourself.
Synonyms: diesel, pumped, and buff (although most guys don't say "buff" anymore). Similar to but not exactly synonymous with "yoked" (see "yoked" for more.)
Antonyms: small, stringy, puny, Urkel.
Editor's note: My friend and colleague, master trainer Joe Stankowski, once remarked to me that he had never heard the term "jacked" before he started writing for MF. I asked him what the midwest slang for a big guy was. He said, "big."
Ripped Having a high degree of muscle definition. More so than one who is "cut", but not as lean as one who is "shredded", such as a pro bodybuilder.
"Brad Pitt sure was ripped in Fight Club."
"Sean is jacked and ripped--that's so hot."
Origin: Probably derives from the idea that a ripped person looks like he or she has had all the body fat ripped off, leaving only pieces (muscles) behind.
Synonyms: chiseled.
Antonyms: fat, Gordita Supreme, John Goodman.
Meathead A dumb, insensitive clod who wears a wifebeater undershirt to the gym and whose life revolves around lifting weights, or at least banging them loudly on the floor. Also known to hit on various female gym members with lines such as "How you doin'?", and "lemme show you how to tone up your arms." He's an idiot, but can usually kick your ass.
"I wish that meathead would stop grunting, because I can't hear my workout mix."
"Sean is so jacked and ripped, you'd think he was a meathead, but he's not."
Origin: Big, muscular guys tend to resemble sides of beef. While being stupid is not a pre-requisite for being strong, strong guys often act dumb or belligerent when their testosterone is racing.
Synonyms: meatwad, dumb jock, Greg Tolan (brilliantly played by William Zabka) in the 80s classic, Just One of the Guys.
Antonyms: nerd, brain, CNN financial correspondent.
Yoked A big, muscular guy with a particularly distinctive trapezius and neck.
"That guy looks like he has no neck; he's yoked."
"Sean is jacked, ripped, and yoked, but he's not a meathead--he's amazing."
Origin: Football player or wrestler types like this look like they're wearing the yoke farmers put on oxen to pull heavy machinery.
Synonyms: no-neck, bad ass, "my bad for being in line before you got here; go right ahead"
Antonyms: skinny, scrawny, Andy Dick.

When we were children
You moving to live in my town
Made my shyness go from full to none-
You, my ray of fun
When we grew up all was kindness
You treat as your prince
And I adored you as my princess-
You, my bundle of love.
When we got married all was happiness
You became forever my queen and
I became forever your king-
You, my pillow of dreams.
Before you passed away
You told me it would be okay
And laughing you call me "My lovely donkey"-
You, my box of memories.
Looking back at all the years
I can tell you with a few tears
I miss you a lot-
You, the love of my life.
Poem by Lucio Muñoz
Vancouver, BC, Canada
May 13, 2014

->''"It ain't easy saving the world, even one case at a time."''
-->--'''Lucien Wilbanks'''
''A Time to Kill'' is a 1996 film adaptation of Creator/JohnGrisham's 1989 [[TheFilmOfTheBook legal thriller novel of the same name.]] Directed by Creator/JoelSchumacher, the film features an ensemble cast that includes Creator/SandraBullock, Creator/MatthewMcConaughey, Creator/SamuelLJackson, Creator/KevinSpacey, Creator/AshleyJudd, Creator/KieferSutherland, Creator/DonaldSutherland, Creator/ChrisCooper, and Creator/KurtwoodSmith.
Two white supremacists (Nicky Katt and Doug Hutchison) come across a ten-year-old black girl named Tonya (Rae'Ven Larrymore Kelly) in rural Mississippi. They violently rape and beat Tonya and dump her in a nearby river after a failed attempt to hang her; she survives, and the men are arrested.
Tonya's father, Carl Lee Hailey (Samuel L. Jackson), seeks out Jake Brigance (Matthew [=McConaughey=]), an easygoing white lawyer. Carl Lee is worried that the men may be acquitted due to racism in the Mississippi Delta area. Hailey acquires an M16 rifle, goes to the county courthouse, and opens fire; he kills both rapists and unintentionally injures a police deputy (Chris Cooper) with a ricochet.
Carl Lee is arrested without resistance, and the plot then follows the trial of Carl Lee (who is defended by Brigance) and the racial undertones denoting the trial, as well as a number of sub-plots.
!!Tropes associated with this work:
* AdaptationDistillation / PragmaticAdaptation: The book, having the luxury of time, paid a lot of attention to the jury. The DA is also more openly racist. Most significantly, the "reverse the races" thought experiment was put forth by a juror, not Brigance. The necessarily narrowed focus most likely forced it into Brigance's summation (which in the book was actually fairly "safe" and dry; it was even only paraphrased), creating a very powerful scene. Additionally, the Klan mole who alerted the police to the Klan activities and saves Ellen's life is eventually found out and murdered by them. And the sexual tension between Jake and Ellen isn't as palpable as in the film, and rather than their borderline angelic personas in the movie, there are plenty of moments where both Jake and Carl Lee are frankly, jackasses.
* AdultFear: Imagine your little girl was beaten and raped, and her rapists stood a very likely chance of getting off.
* AmoralAttorney: Rufus Buckley. An amusing version in JerkWithAHeartOfGold Harry Rex.
* AngryBlackMan: Carl Lee Hailey, in the courthouse, with an assault rifle.
* AssholeVictim:
** The child rapists who are shot to death by Carl Lee Hailey to prevent them from getting away unpunished.
** The [[spoiler: KKK Grand Dragon]], who is burned to death after inciting a riot.
* BettyAndVeronica: Carla and Ellen.
* BlackAndGrayMorality: What the men did to his daughter was undoubtedly reprehensible, but did that give Carl Lee the right to take their lives? If it had been a black rapist getting shot, would there be as much discussion? What if it had been your child? Well, much depends on the personal standpoint.
** With that said, it does range very much to BlackAndWhiteMorality though, as the protagonists (Brigance & consorts, Hailey) are ''goodly good'', and the antagonists (Buckley, the KKK & neo-Nazis) are ''badly bad''. None of the aforementioned leads seem to have any controversial faults or redeemable qualities respectively. Sure, the film makers did attempt to warp the lines of morality a little bit by [[GrayingMorality adding ambiguous]] minor characters like ([[spoiler:the high-profile lawyers who may or may not try to pass Hailey as a martyr of black civil rights by attempting to lose the trial, or the psychiatric expert witness of Brigance & consorts who turns out to be a sex offender, or the KKK member who tips off the police regularly and saves Brigance's family and later, Ellen]]), but those ended up having a comparably minor impact on the actual storyline [[spoiler:and outcome. In the end, "good" still triumphs over "evil"]].
* DecemberDecemberRomance: Jake's mentor Lucien and his secretary Ethel. It is implied she was his mistress back in their younger days and the scene after her husband's funeral makes it pretty obvious the feelings are still there.[[note]]The book has her as the former mistress of Lucien's ''father'', and mother to his half-brother. Lucien tried to prevent her from getting part of his father's estate for her son, and they are definitely not involved, nor even friends (as you'd expect).[[/note]]
* DeepSouth: The film's setting, with everything that implies.
* DefiantToTheEnd: Freddie Lee Cobb taunts Ellen about how he plans to leave her to die. Ellen's response?
--> "Carl Lee Hailey should have shot you too."
* FanDisservice: The sight of the shapely Sandra Bullock (as Ellen) being stripped to her underwear is completely undercut by the fact that it's in the course of a vicious Klan attack. She's not raped, but is left tied to a post in the middle of the woods so that she'll die of exposure. Freddie also says that after she dies the bugs will slowly eat her.
* FullyClothedNudity: Freddie tells Ellen, "I'm going to leave you here tied up naked.", but she's still in her underwear and the remnants of her shirt.
* GracefulLoser: [[spoiler: Rufus Buckley.]] After spending a huge amount of time and effort [[spoiler: to get a conviction, and failing to do so]], he...simply congratulates [[spoiler: Brigance]] and shakes his hand without a hint of sarcasm or derision.
* HelloAttorney: Jake Brigance and Ellen Roark, although it's technically Hello Law Student in her case.
* HollywoodLaw: Carl commits cold-blooded premeditated murder. He pleads temporary insanity (which is not a real defense-it's just insanity, temporary or not). The defense's closing argument does not mention insanity, but plays on the jury's emotions to convince them of justifiable homicide, after failing to prove insanity. [[http://www.albany.edu/scj/jcjpc/vol4is3/russell.html And that's just]] [[http://usf.usfca.edu/pj//articles/imagine_justice.htm the biggest example]]. Of course, they are not actually trying to prove insanity, and it's privately acknowledged several times that he knew exactly what he was doing. What they're trying to do is go for jury nullification[[labelnote:*]]When a jury imposes their own interpretation of the law, resulting in an defendant's acquittal; ensuring that, guilty or not, the defendant can never again be tried for the crime of which they are accused. [[/labelnote]], which no respectable judge would allow. Of course, the jury can still ignore his instructions, and once they acquit, no one can overrule them. It's very unlikely a RealLife judge would let him go through with his speech (however, in the book it's a juror who does the "imagine she's white" talk, while in the jury room, thus getting the rest to acquit).
** Jake also puts Carl Lee on the stand. While not forbidden, it's generally not done, for precisely what happens--the prosecution rips into his story and gets him to admit that he knew what he was doing.
** And Carl Lee wouldn't necessarily have walked free after his acquittal. He could still have been sent to a psychiatric hospital.
* InfantImmortality: {{Subverted}} as Tonya Hailey isn't killed, but is brutally beaten and raped. {{Played straight}} with Jake's dog Max. When Jake's house is torched by the Klan, he frantically tries to get inside to rescue him, but is held back. The house collapses in flames as he screams the dog's name. The next morning, as he sifts through the rubble, he continues to call out to Max. It seems futile--until Max finally emerges from the woods, frightened and covered with soot, but unharmed and just as overjoyed to see Jake as Jake is to see him.[[spoiler: Unfortunately, this is averted in the novel, where he dies.]]
* InsanityDefense
* IronicEcho: When Brigance asks Carl Lee to seek a lesser guilty plea, he refuses, telling Brigance that his views on justice and race are wrong, adding "Our kids will never play together." [[spoiler: At the end after Carl Lee is aquited, Brigance brings his wife and daughter to a family cookout at Carl Lee's house saying, "Just thought our kids could play together."]]
* JerkassHasAPoint: Buckley and the prosecution's psychiatrist claiming that Carl Lee is sane. Umm...they're right (as Carl privately admits).
** Jake browbeats the mother of one of the rapists by asking her "How many other children did he rape?", causing her to burst into tears. Seems cruel, but that is precisely why her son was dead.
* KarmicDeath: [[spoiler: A group of hoodlums kill the KKK Grand Dragon by setting him on fire with a Molotov cocktail. Given the Klan's penchant for burning things, this is both karmic and ironic.]]
* KickTheDog: The attack on Tonya Hailey and just about every stunt the Klan pulls.
* KickTheSonOfABitch:
** The whole plot of the film is kicked off when a vengeful father kills the men who raped his daughter, which would make this trope apply for those who agree with his actions.
** Another example is [[spoiler: the killing of the KKK Grand Dragon.]] See KarmicDeath.
* TheKlan: The UsefulNotes/KuKluxKlan plays a pretty big role in the film. They support Carl's conviction, and Freddie Lee Cobb (whose grandfather was a Klansmen) enlists their help to sow mayhem. They protest in front of the courthouse, starting a riot with a black crowd, which interrupts the court's proceedings. The Grand Wizard is killed, but Freddie and the remaining Klan members continue to intimidate and send death threats to Jake to make him step down as Carl's defense attorney. He doesn't.
* LastNameBasis: Jake consistently calls Ellen "Roark", making it very significant when he calls her by her first name when visiting her in the hospital.
* ManlyTears: Matthew [=McConaughey's=] defense summation; [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C7f-BgDgpmE done in ''one'' take.]] [[ThrowItIn The tears were genuine and unscripted.]]
* MeaningfulName: Judge Omar Noose. Ironic, as he's ''not'' a bigot and appears to be thoroughly impartial in his handling of the case.
* MenCantKeepHouse: Jake sheepishly admits to Ellen that he's GoingCommando because the laundry has been piling up since his wife left town.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Played with when Carl Lee talks with his wife about killing Tonya's assailants and tells her it's the only thing that gives him solace while he languishes in jail away from his family--"I think about those boys. . .God help me, Gwen, that's the only thing that gives me comfort." He seems far more disturbed by his lack of remorse than by what he did.
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Jake tells Ellen to leave his office, knowing that they'll succumb to temptation if she stays. . .and she's kidnapped and assaulted by the Klan while driving home.
** He also puts Carl Lee on the stand, something even the worst defense attorney knows is generally NOT a good idea. Sure enough, the prosecutor gets Carl Lee to admit that he knew what he was doing when she shot his daughter's rapists, effectively torpedoing his insanity defense.
* NiceJobFixingItVillain: Buckley puts the injured Deputy Looney on the stand...who states that he has no ill will towards Carl Lee and that he would have done the same thing. He also puts the mother of one of the rapists on the stand. Jake promptly asks her "how many other children did he rape?", reminding the jury of just why her son is dead.
* NoIndoorVoice: '''[[MemeticMutation "Yes they deserved to die, and I hope they burn in Hell!"]]'''
* NoMeansYes: Ethel vehemently denies to Jake and Harry that she had an affair with Lucien. After she storms off, the two of them look at each other and declare, "She did him.", clearly having taken her denial as confirmation (she was actually his ''father's'' mistress and mother of his half-brother in the book-obviously an AgeLift happened).
* TheNotLoveInterest: Jake and Ellen, despite the very strong mutual attraction, but Jake nixes it before it can even get started, no doubt because he's HappilyMarried.
* ObviouslyEvil: The two rapists. From the moment they first appear on screen, you just ''know'' they're going to do something terrible.
* PapaWolf: Carl Lee Hailey, obviously. The deputy played by Chris Cooper also counts, as he says he would have done the same thing.
* PenultimateOutburst: ''Two'' of them.
* RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil: In the book, Jake argues this during his closing statement:
-->"With murder, the victim is gone, and not forced to deal with what happened to her. The family must deal with it, but not the victim. But rape is much worse. The victim has a lifetime of coping, of trying to understand, of asking questions, and, the worst part, of knowing the rapist is still alive and may someday escape or be released. Every hour of every day, the victim thinks of the rape and asks herself a thousand questions. She relives it, step by step, minute by minute, and it hurts just as bad."
* ScaryBlackMan: Played by Samuel L. Jackson even.
* SparedByTheAdaptation: Max the dog, Klan informant "Mickey Mouse", and Dr. Tyler Bass' unseen wife all die in the book, but not the movie.
* TwoDecadesBehind: The premise is absurdly anachronistic, especially since the South wasn't ''that'' backward in the late 1980s and the Klan was rapidly being supplanted by neo-Nazi youth gangs by that point.
* UnresolvedSexualTension: Jake and Ellen, in spades. It's even acknowledged at one point (and very maturely and realistically handled), when they're commiserating in his office after an attempt on Jake's life has left a [[TakingTheBullet National Guard officer seriously wounded]]:
-->'''Ellen:''' Are you okay? Do you want me to stay?\\
'''Jake:''' Yes, I want you to stay. ({{Beat}}) So you'd better go.
--> (Later, when she's in the hospital)
--> '''Jake''': We make a hell of a team, Roark.
--> '''Ellen''': We might have.
* WeDoTheImpossible: Brigance attempts to defend the African American worker Carl Lee Hailey - who killed two white men and stands by it - by pulling an InsanityDefence in a DeepSouth judicial system (with death row awaiting Hailey), pitted against a ruthless white prosecutor with a socially and politically influential background, a highly suggestible (as well as very opportunistic) judge, an all-white well-to-do jury who just wants to go home, a corrupted black activist group that holds out for a martyr (Hailey), KKK members spreading terror and intimidating Brigance's co-workers into quitting one by one, and (to add insult to injury) weak and powerless local authorities who fail to hinder any of this. Oh, and there's also the rioting that breaks out halfway through the trial. And then the National Guard has to be called in. Well yeah, it really couldn't get any ''worse''. But hey, guess who wins in the end?
* WorthIt: While Carl regrets his VigilanteExecution's effects on the Cobb and Willard families, he doesn't regret killing Billy and Pete themselves one bit. Understandable, though, given their complete and unrepentant scumbaggery.
