Thank you to the Academy. Thank you, A24. Thank you Plan B. Thank you to our amazing cast. Thank you, my mom, my sister, everybody in Miami. I want to thank my reps, three amigos, Jay Baker at CAA, Joel Ross and Jamie Feldman. And two women in particular. My publicist, Paula Woods and Paula Seacrest. Thank you for taking care of me. I told my students, be in love with the process, not the result. I really wanted this result. All you people who feel like there's no mirror for you, the academy has your back, the ACLU has your back, we have your back, and for the next four years, we will not forget you.

Smoking is regarded as a fashion symbol in young boys. Despite the ill effects of smoking, people still continue to smoke. Many young boys, who start smoking, feel that they look broadminded and liberated if they smoke.

Most often, the teenagers adopt this habit just because of the company they enjoy. Sometimes, they take a puff from their friend’s cigar. Later on, they develop the habit of smoking as an indispensible part of their lives. With the passage of time, the followers of this bad habit turn into chain smokers. It must be kept in mind that smoking is a toxic habit that may develop lungs’ cancer. Moreover, the other toxic chemicals like arsenic, carbon Monoxide, methane, acetic acid, nicotine, butane and cadmium present in cigarettes are also highly damaging for health.

Currently, cigarette manufacturing companies are doing very well all over the globe. Such manufacturing companies also inscribe warnings on the packets of cigarettes; still people do not pay any heed. On the other hand, every year government increases the price of cigarettes to discourage people using tobacco. Yet smokers go on smoking and prove to be slaves of this bad habit.

Good morning everyone. I’m Mallory Rich, and today I am going to teach you all how to write a basic c# code that can determine if a number is even or odd. Computer programmers are in high demand in the U.S. today. Almost everything we use has some type of code behind. To give you an idea of how in demand developers are: there are about 589,273 open computing jobs nationwide, and the average starting salary for a graduate in this field is $77,500.I am an MIS major here at Alabama and each semester we take a different programming class. These are a few of the different languages/frameworks I have learned during my time here as an MIS major. I started with c++ and then moved on to c# which is what I am going to show you all today.Now, I know that everyone in here isn’t going to go out and write the next earth shattering program, but it is important, however, to understand how to write a basic code. First I am going to show you all how to set up a basic program.

Let's be honest, we lead an easy life: automatic dishwashers, riding lawnmowers, T.V. remote controls,automatic garage door openers, power screwdrivers, bread machines, electric pencil sharpeners, etc., etc. etc.We live in a time-saving, energy-saving, convenient society. It's a wonderful life. Or is it? While today'sluxuries have been welcomed by the masses, they have also been accused of turning us into passive, lethargic couch potatoes. As a reformed couch potato myself, I know how easy it can be to slip into an inactive lifestyle. I also know how sluggish and apathetic such a lifestyle can make me feel. Today I want to urge you to move off that couch and get your body moving.

Friends of Alan Goldberg, I join Peter Jopling in thanking

Freehills for arranging this dinner tonight. Damian Grave told me
that what I should do tonight is to "say a few words after dinner to
thank his Honour for his contribution". He did not confine me to
Alan's contribution to the law.
At Alan's exceptional and overflowing farewell ceremony from
the Federal Court on 30 June 2010 we were all reminded of the
contours of Alan's outstanding life in the law, commencing with his
achievements in University days — including his Fullbright travel
fellowship scholarship to Yale. This was followed by 30 brilliant
years at the Victorian Bar (nearly 20 as Queen's Counsel), then 13
and a half years as a judge of the Federal Court — as Chief Justice
Keane said, "as a model of judicial conduct".
