Working for middle-market companies is a lot different than trying to run the finances of a multibillion dollar, very sophisticated state treasury.” “It was obviously a very different type of job and pay structure. In 2008, he met Richard Cordray, Ohio’s treasurer, who asked him to come back to Ohio and be the CFO for the state, Ahmad said, noting that he accepted the job to change his career path. He earned a master’s degree, then moved to Chicago, where his sisters live, and worked at an investment bank there. He returned to America to study finance at the Harvard University Business School in Boston. He worked for Wasserstein Perella & Co., an investment bank, in both New York and Tokyo. It was the mid-90s, and like others, Ahmad said, he went to work on Wall Street when he graduated from Columbia. “While there, I got involved in government (studies), student government, internships and organizations that started formalizing my interest in government as a potential longterm career option,” he said. So, how did the 1992 Hoover High School graduate get to this position?Īfter he graduated from Hoover, Ahmad left Stark County to study political science and economics at Columbia University in New York. On Monday, when Rahm Emanuel, former White House chief of staff for President Barack Obama, officially takes over as mayor of Chicago, Ahmad will become the comptroller for the city of more than 2.7 million people. Ahmad, one of The Repository’s Teens of the Month in April 1992, has gone far. “He was energetic and involved in a lot of things.” “I remember him being an excellent student,” said the director of guidance at Hoover High School. Barbara Tarantino had no doubt in 1992 that Amer Ahmad would go far in life.

Season 8 suffered from what I can only describe as the “ Dexter Syndrome.” Both of these shows were excellent, but both ended pathetically. The fact of the matter is with the exception of the eighth season I awarded the first through seventh seasons all perfect scores. The perfect score of 5 up above is a compilation average of how I ranked all eight seasons of Game of Thrones in my previous 4K/Blu-ray reviews. Packed with over 15 hours of special features spanning all 8 seasons and a digital copy of every episode, this collectable set also makes a perfect holiday gift! Heck yeah it does! Beyond Dolby Vision the 4K Ultra HD Discs also feature Dolby Atmos surround tracks plus the inclusion of over 15 hours of bonus features originally released on the 2019 Game of Thrones: The Complete Series and The Complete Collection (Limited Collector’s Edition) Blu-ray sets. So here it is! For the first time ever, loyal fans and collectors will be able to enjoy every extraordinary moment of this iconic show in eye-popping 4K Ultra HD with Dolby Vision HDR. The following is a little plug from Warner Bros., but I like it because they use the phrase “eye-popping” and who doesn’t like hearing that when you’re talking about entertainment media on the 4K UHD Disc format. Let’s talk about everything you’ll find here, showcase off the product and then cover all the things you’ll find within while out the same time showering you with a ton of URL hyperlinks to keep this review as clean and simple as possible. Even our favorite Mandalorian, Pedro Pascal, makes an appearance in this show, but I digress. And those are just a mere sliver of the names that are attached to this behemoth of a show. Boom! The ensemble cast includes Emmy and Golden Globe winner Peter Dinklage (Tyrion Lannister), Lena Headey (Cersei Lannister), Emilia Clarke (Daenerys Targaryen), Kit Harington (Jon Snow), Sophie Turner (Sansa Stark), Maisie Williams (Arya Stark), Nikolaj Coster-Waldau (Jaime Lannister) and Iain Glen (Jorah Mormont). The HBO show has earned a total of 161 Emmy nominations and 59 wins, which are the most nominations and wins of any Comedy or Drama series in Emmy history. Truth be told unless you’ve been living under a rock the last ten years or trapped in a basement in Cleveland (too soon?) Game of Thrones is based on the best-selling novel series by George R.R. If you’re a fan of the show and 4K Disc home media collector, then you’ll remember that the first season (full review HERE) and eighth season (full review HERE) of the show were previously released on the preferred format we’re here to talk about today. Now, for the first time ever, the entire series can be owned in 4K Ultra HD courtesy of Warner Bros. There’s absolutely no doubt about it that the #1 selling home entertainment television series of all time, and most-watched series in HBO history, Game of Thrones still remains a blockbuster hit and cultural sensation (even with that lazy eighth season that averaged a record-setting 44 million viewers in the U.S.). On top of it all you can also bank on my unboxing photos. Thankfully I have covered every Blu-ray release of the show so there’s that and I’ll be providing you pertinent URL links to all the coverage so you won’t miss a beat here. You’ll have to forgive me as I’m not going to be able to go through all of this. And rest assured I’m going to do my best to cover everything you’ll find here, but I’m only a mere mortal. Now do you know why I say this isn’t your average 4K Disc review? I hope so. If that’s not enough, there’s also 15 hours of extras packed within this set. Wow! That encompasses all 8 seasons of the hit HBO show that plays across 73 episodes, which equates to roughly 75 hours. It’s simply because this one whopping big box set that houses a total of 33 Discs (23 BD-100s, 7 BD-66s, 3 BD-50s). You want to know why? I hope you do as I didn’t just set that up for nothing. Game of Thrones: The Complete Collection is going to be one very unorthodox 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray Review. 7/20/2023 0 Comments Used cateye chevy for saleI have invested more than $40K on this truck!!!

Although his acting is only adequate, he does make up for it by his strong presence and animal magnetism, and when he thrown into an action scene, he acquits himself very well. The faults with the movie do not concern its star, Michael Jai White. I'm not saying that it is a bad movie, but there are several things holding it back from being a great B movie. You will probably find "Falcon Rising" to be entertaining the more that you are in an undemanding mood when you sit down to watch it. Some adult themes and language (punta) most of which was in Portuguese. Good formula writing for those who like the vigilante thing. My biggest shock was that Neal McDonough as an actual good guy and not the Chechen "Albino Assassin." How did they miss that? Maybe in the next one as this appears to be the first in a series of pending on profits. At this point the film goes super formula as we add elements of Patrick Swayze, Charles Bronson, child prostitution ring (hasn't been done enough yet) crooked cops, and yes the Yakuza who sneak up on armed people, brandishing a sword and while yelling. In spite of that, it was a welcomed change from the Mideast and Bulgaria. Chapman (aka Falcon) now has a reason to live as he goes after the bad guys in Rio, a city that has great stock footage scenery, but has most of the action take place in a small section of the slums. Cindy is a volunteer worker who gets bludgeoned in Brazil. He lives in NYC and is visited by his sister Cindy (Laila Ali) who pops in from Brazil so they can go to dinner together, and then back she goes. He is suicidal, but works out just in case. ****CONTAINS GENERIC PLOT SPOILERS**** Johnny Chapman (Michael Jai White) is a PTSD vet who is off his meds. "Falcon Rising" is definitely worth the time of watching if you are a fan of old school action movies. Which only added to the enjoyment of the movie, of course. There is a lot of action and fighting throughout the course of "Falcon Rising", and I will say that the action sequences and the fight scenes were quite nicely choreographed and executed on the screen. The story, in all its simplistic glory, is about a an ex-marine (played by Michael Jai White) who travels to Brazil, where he takes up fighting the Yakuza in the slums of Brazil, because the Yakuza attacked her sister and left her for dead. But the combination of the storyline, the action, the acting, and the cast, then the end result really worked out as an entertaining action movie with that late 1980's feel that action movies had back then. Sure, the storyline was generic and something that definitely has been seen before in other action movies. And it turned out that this action flick was actually rather entertaining. I decided to watch it solely because Michael Jai White starred in it. I had very little expectations to the movie, as I hadn't even heard about it prior to stumbling upon it by sheer luck on Netflix. Somebody should notice this guy and let him start making the films he was meant to make. White seems in peak condition but history tells us that he probably has only so many of these films in him before he goes the way of Seagal and starts wearing designer clothes based on tents. I will close this review with a challenge to anyone in Hollywood with ears to hear and eyes to see. And the benefit of a slow start is that it builds. It is a slow-starter but frankly to see White in an action scene is well worth the wait. For all intents and purposes, this could be White's long-awaited sequel to Blood and Bone. Now, a few years later, director Ernie Barbarash, who seems to have had a penchant for working with Van Damme, finally made the smart choice. That second part was clearly NOT a no-brainer, because, other than the IMDb faithful, no one else seems to have caught the hint. In my IMDb review of Blood and Bone, I not only top-rated the film (a no-brainer) but pointed out that Michael Jai White was probably the most entertaining action star out there, with split-second moves and a friendly gravitas that lets him connect with the viewer. 7/20/2023 0 Comments Lattice trellis diyIf I were doing it again, I would’ve included a tape measure or yardstick in my original photo before photoshopping, that way we could use that for scale – but it worked out just fine without that reference point. We used some reference points in our photos to determine where we wanted our pattern to start on the wall and, through a little bit of trial & error, we figured out the precise measurements for each of our diamonds (ours are 25″ apart). I wouldn’t even call it hard, it just required some concentration and double checking. Transferring our digital mockup onto the physical wall was probably the most brain-intensive portion of this project. It also helped us plan how much material we would need. Thanks to this planning process, we were able to make sure it looked centered on the wall while also staying visually in line with other elements, like the door. Our final design ended up being a smaller version of the first one we attempted. We also considered “open” diamonds on the side, but we both agreed it looked too much like an argyle sweater and the “closed” diamond shapes looked better on the ends. We did this rendering first, and pretty quickly determined the scale felt too large for our liking (just two diamonds tall felt kinda piddly…). This is something you can also figure out on paper if you don’t have the right software (heck, you can print out a photo and sketch right onto it with pencil), but I highly recommend some sort of “planning” step like this before you start making holes. I snapped a picture of the space and dragged it into photoshop so we could play with the scale, size, and placement of the trellis. The very first step for us was to figure out what we wanted our vine trellis to look like. Like, a regular drill and drill bits should work just fine. If you have some other type of siding, you may not need some of these. *Reminder: these are items we needed because we were installing a trellis on brick.

7/20/2023 0 Comments Git switch branch without mergeAnd as '.' is the same as '/path/to/current/repo/' we can use our repo itself instead of a clone: $ git fetch. So if we run $git fetch clonerepo develop:master then master will be fast-forwarded to develop.īut can be an URL, including local URL, e.g. The remote ref that matches is fetched, and if is not empty string, the local ref that matches it is fast-forwarded using. First, youll need to make sure all your changes are committed and then switch back to the master branch. Often, without merging, a pull request might be closed. According to docs fetch syntax is $ git fetch : If you have a merge conflict on your current branch, you must resolve the conflict before you can switch to a different branch. A feature branch can often go stale and not be merged into a master. Git Branching and Merging: A Step-By-Step Guide In previous articles, you learned How to Revert a Commit in Git (a PowerShell Git tutorial) and How to Merge in Git: Remote and Local Git Repositories Tutorial. You have stash all your working branch changes. Can I merge a branch without deleting it If I have branch 'personal-work-in-progress', and a branch 'feature/ABC-123' that is five commits ahead of it, is it possible to merge the five commits from feature/ABC-123 into personal-work-in-progress without deleting the feature/ABC-123 branch I know doing five git cherry-pick commands would do it. We can fetch develop ref from clone to master. Otherwise, merging local branch with the master will overwrite the local branch changes.) git stash. we have a large repo so checkouts are time-consuming, or our compiler relies on timestamps and may think that a lot of files are dirty and need a rebuild. In some cases this may be unacceptable, e.g. The usual way of doing this would be: $ git checkout masterīut it causes git to change working directory two times, although the final result is identical to the one before checking out master. Now we want to merge develop to master to receive this: So our history looks something like this: Let's say we are working in a develop branch which is ahead of master by several commits. If the destination branch does not exist, you have to append the -b option, otherwise you won’t be able to switch to that branch. This fast-forwards master to develop without checkout. Nevertheless, I need to 'synchronize' the core code base of the branches. Conclusion Switch Branch using git checkout The easiest way to switch branch on Git is to use the git checkout command and specify the name of the branch you want to switch to. (only for fast-forward merges) Summary $ git fetch. 7/20/2023 0 Comments Convert nook to kindle onlineYour new book will be available for selection from your Kindle bookshelf.Ĭalibre also supports EPUB to MOBI file conversion.Move the MOBI file to your Kindle Documents directory.Attach your USB connection from your Kindle Reader to your Computer.Download and save the converted MOBI file.From your laptop or computer, choose and purchase your Lulu ebook.If you have a Kindle, which reads ebooks in MOBI format, you can still download and read a Lulu ebook in a few easy steps.
