Death by drone: Obama's elastic legalities
President Obama's death-by-drone strategy is a political winner. Most Democrats are fine with it because Obama is one of them, and most Republicans have been loathe to criticize it because there's no percentage in assailing him for being too tough on terrorism. But based on what little we know – and on what we've just learned – the policy of killing via remote control is quite worrisome. Especially when American citizens are targeted.
Last autumn, in rare remarks about the drones, Obama said that the goal is to target suspected bad guys who pose "an imminent threat to the United States" – echoing counter-terrorism adviser (and current CIA director nominee) John Brennan, who told the press last May that one key criteria for launching a drone was "the imminence of the threat."
But according to a 16-page Justice Department document, leaked early this week to NBC News, the government's definition of "imminent threat" is very elastic. Turns out, an American citizen can be targeted for a drone hit if or when he's strongly suspected of having ties to terrorists. For that reason alone, according to document, the Obama administration believes it has sufficient legal basis to act as judge, jury, and executioner.
This document (officially a "white paper," entitled "Lawfulness of a Lethal Operation Directed Against a U.S. Citizen who is a Senior Operational Leader of al Qaeda or An Associated Force") basically summarizes the government's rationale, as detailed in confidential legal memos authored by Obama's lawyers. Those legal memos remain secret – the Obama team has refused to release them – so for those of us who believe in transparency, the leaked white paper is the next best thing.
The white paper says that "a lethal operation conducted againsr a U.S. citizen whose conduct poses an imminent threat of violent attack against the United States would be a legitimate act of national self-defense." But here's the key loophole, which is wide enough for a fleet of Humvees: "The condition that an operational leader present an 'imminent threat' of violent attack against the United States does not require the United States to have clear evidence that specific attack on U.S. persons and interests will take place in the immediate future."
In other words, says the white paper, Obama has adopted a "broader concept of imminence."
If an American citizen has been "recently" affiliated with bad guys, and has engaged in threatened violent "activities," that's deemed to be sufficient reason to kill the American via drone. The paper doesn't bother to define "recently" (an affiliation two weeks ago? two months ago? two years ago?), nor does it define how serious those "activities" need to be.
No judicial oversight
And even though the U.S. Constitution's Fifth Amendment states that "no person shall be…deprived of life…without due process," the Justice Department document says that the Obama team should be free to pursue its drone strategy without any judicial branch oversight. As the paper put it, judges should not attempt "to supervise inherently predictive judgments by the president and his national security advisers."
Apparently, the Obama team used an elastic definition of "imminent threat" to justify the 2011 drone strike in Yemen that killed two American citizens, Anwar al-Awlaki and Samir Khan, both of whom allegedly had ties to al Qaeda. Neither had ever been indicted by the U.S. government , or charged with any crimes. Nor had 16-year-old Abdulrahmen al-Alwaki, son of Anwar, who was killed in a drone strike two weeks later.
Did these American citizens deserve to die? Were they planning an imminent attack (as we traditionally understand the term), or was it imminence as far more broadly defined (as Attorney General Eric Holder contended in a speech last March, "The Constitution does not require the president to delay action until some theoretical end-stage of planning"). We'll probably never know, and that's what seems most worrisome. If the Obama team has unfettered power to make "inherently predictive judgments" about American citizens, where are the constitutional checks and balances?
Some of these issues may surface on Thursday, when CIA director nominee Brennan gets his Senate confirmation hearing. He was a key player in developing the drone strategy. Several members of the presiding Intelligence Committee wrote to Obama yesterday, asking him to release the legal opinions. Yes, they said, the president has the authority to use lethal force in certain circumstances. However, "it is vitally important…for Congress and the American public to have a full understanding of how the executive branch interprets the limits and boundaries of this authority, so that Congress and the public can decide whether this authority has been properly defined, and whether the president's power to deliberately kill American citizens is subject to appropriate limitations and safeguards."
Eight Senate Democrats signed that letter, and some civil libertarians have long echoed the letter's concerns. This is encouraging, because all presidents regardless of party need to be held accountable. Yet most grassroots Obama supporters remain mute on this issue. Here's what I would say to them:
If George W. Bush was whacking American citizens on the basis of secret legal memos, and reserving for himself the right to whack more, with no judicial oversight, Senate liberals would be conducting hearings and any Democrat with vocal chords would be stampeding to MSNBC.

Q: What considerations should I have for high-current power supplies? I'm still pretty novice at electronics. I've recently been thinking of a project to make. The difference in this from my other projects is that for this I would need quite a bit of power. I'm use to using only a USB or battery powers supply. For this one though I think a PC power supply will be needed.
What precautions and considerations should I have when working with more amps(though the same amount of voltage)? If I hook an LED up to 5V, 500ma then it lights and works well. Will that be the same if I hook it up to 5V, 22A? What about for microcontrollers and other integrated circuits? Will they not be fried by the higher amperage?
If I do have something that does specify a max amperage rating, how do I decrease the amperage without affecting the voltage?
A: This is a pretty common mistake for people new to electronics. Most power supplies are designed to provide a constant voltage (5v in your case). Your circuit then provides a resistance of some sort, with microcontrollers and capacitors and such the resistance will change with time, but for beginners its usually best to think of your circuit has having a constant resistance as well.
So V/R=I, since V and R are constant, I will stay the same also.
The current that is given for your power supply is just the max that the power supply can output and guaranty a steady 5v. So if you work the V/R equation out and get 1Amp, then a 500mA power supply wont work for you, but a 22Amp supply will.
Sometimes this analogy helps people understand what is happening
Think of:
*
*voltage as the height above the ground you are
*current being the act of an object falling
*max current as how much area you have to fall down in
*an orange and an elephant as being 2 different circuits you have built
So if you have an elevator shaft that you drop an orange in from 100ft it will act the same (or close to if you ignore stuff like wind) as dropping an orange from 100ft off the top of the building. Now if you try to drop an elephant down an elevator shaft it will act much differently then if you drop an elephant off the top of a 100ft building.
So in the case of your original circuit (the orange) a 500mA max power supply (the elevator shaft) will act just the same as a 22amp power supply. (Off the top of the roof)
But when you go to your new circuit (the elephant) a 500mA max power supply will act much differently then a 22amp power supply.
Warning
A power supply that can output more current means that you have a greater chance of killing components if hooked up wrong. If you always hook stuff up correctly it wont ever be an issue, but I don't know anyone who has never accidentally hooked something up wrong.
A: In your case, the current rating of your power supplies is the current AVAILABLE, not the current actually PROVIDED. a 5V 500mA load (like your LED) will always draw 500mA from a 5V power supply.

ST. THOMAS — Governor Kenneth Mapp has nominated Sheldon A. Turnbull and Jay T. Watson to the Virgin Islands Horse Racing Commission, Government House announced Thursday. Once confirmed by the Legislature, Mr. Turnbull will serve three years in the St. Thomas/St. John district and Mr. Watson will represent the district of St. Croix for two years.
The new, unified commission was created in order to provide consistent oversight of the territory's horse racing industry, which is set for major expansion as a result of the landmark agreement negotiated by the Mapp-Potter Administration and ratified by the Legislature in late 2016. Local casino operator VIGL is investing nearly $30 million in private capital to transform the Clinton E. Phipps and Randolph "Doc" James facilities. The project stands to make the U.S. Virgin Islands the region's premier destination for horse racing, the Mapp administration says.
The Virgin Islands Government is currently demolishing some of the older structures at the territory's racetracks in preparation for construction, Government House said. VIGL is now preparing to present its plans to the Coastal Zone Management Commission, said Jason Williams, VIGL's general manager for horse racing operations. He said CZM hearings are set for next week on both St. Thomas and St. Croix. An interim lease agreement was signed with VIGL earlier this year in the hope that races could commence this summer; however, Mr. Williams indicated that they have been delayed due to some logistical issues, including the need to remove damaged reviewing stands, according to Government House.
"We hope to present renditions of what the completed projects will look like at the CZM hearings," he said.
VIGL must provide for a minimum of 18 live race days annually on both St. Thomas and St. Croix in the first three years and a minimum of 24 each year thereafter. Races will have a $100,000 minimum purse per race day.
Mr. Mapp said the agreement with VIGL exemplifies the Mapp-Potter administration's commitment to sports tourism, economic development and creating new opportunities for all Virgin Islanders.
Henry E. Schjang, Ian Samuel, Ronald A. Phillips and Dr. Laura Palminteri, DVM were previously nominated by Governor Mapp to serve on the Virgin Islands Horse Racing Commission.

The search giant posted second-quarter earnings of 16 cents per share on $1.04 billion in revenue. Wall Street had expected Yahoo to deliver quarterly earnings per share of 18 cents on $1.03 billion in revenue, according to consensus estimates from Thomson Reuters.
Yahoo shares were down as much as 3 percent in extended trading.
The company attributed the quarterly loss to higher spending used to attract visitors to its website to better compete with Google and Facebook.
The company reported a net loss attributable to it of $21.6 million, or 2 cents per share, in the second quarter ended June 30, compared with a profit of $269.7 million, or 26 cents per share, a year earlier.
In the post-earnings conference call, CEO Marissa Mayer called Q2 "a good quarter" and said she was particularly pleased with momentum in the display ad business.
Revenue, excluding traffic acquisition costs (ex-TAC), for the third quarter is projected to be between $1 billion and $1.04 billion. That is lower than earlier guidance of $1.07 billion.
Yahoo also announced a headcount of fewer than 11,000 employees, in cost-cutting efforts. The company employed about 12,300 in the year-earlier period.
"In addition to revenue outperformance, we reduced $30 million in sequential cash operating expenses driven by strategic headcount and footprint reductions, tight management of our discretionary costs and the benefit from IP monetization," said CFO Ken Goldman in the release. "As we continued to reduce our workforce to fewer than 11,000 full-time employees over the last quarter, we have also continued to realign our resources as we become a more efficient business."
Last week, the company detailed more information about its planned spin-off of its remaining stake in Alibaba in a newly formed independent entity to be called Aabaco. Earlier in the year, Yahoo announced it would spin off its 384 million shares of Alibaba, valued at nearly $30 billion.
Aabaco will represent an ownership interest of about 15 percent in Alibaba, the company said. The spinoff is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2015 and is pending final approval by Yahoo's board of directors.
This month the company announced the launch of Yahoo Sports Daily Fantasy. It will offer fantasy contests for cash prizes. The site will parallel Yahoo's seasonlong fantasy leagues already offered for free.
Shares of Yahoo are down about 20 percent year-to-date.

There are two kinds of divorce in Belgium: divorce on the grounds of the irretrievable breakdown of the marriage, and divorce by mutual consent.
A divorce on the grounds of irretrievable breakdown can be obtained in two ways:
By proving the irretrievable breakdown of the marriage, by any legal means (Article 229(1) of the Civil Code (Code civil/Burgerlijk Wetboek)). A breakdown is irretrievable where it has made it impossible for the spouses to continue to live together or resume living together.
On the basis of a de facto separation that has lasted some time. The marriage is deemed to have irretrievably broken down where the application for divorce is submitted jointly by both spouses after more than six months of de facto separation. If the de facto separation has lasted for less than six months and the spouses wish to submit a joint application for divorce, the marriage is deemed to have irretrievably broken down once the spouses have appeared before the court for a second time, following a period of reflection, and have repeated that they wish to divorce (Article 229(2) of the Civil Code). Unilateral application after more than a year of de facto separation: the marriage is deemed to have irretrievably broken down where the application for divorce is submitted by only one spouse after more than a year of de facto separation. If the de facto separation has lasted for less than a year and one of the spouses wishes to submit a unilateral application for divorce, the marriage is deemed to have irretrievably broken down once the spouse submitting the application has appeared before the court for a second time, following a period of reflection, and has repeated that he or she wishes to divorce (Article 229(3) of the Civil Code).
Divorce by mutual consent can be granted only if the spouses submit a comprehensive prior agreement determining all the effects of the divorce and both spouses continue to express their desire to end the marriage by mutual consent up to the point when the divorce is granted. The comprehensive prior agreement consists of a settlement setting out what the spouses have agreed with regard to their respective assets (Article 1287 of the Judicial Code (Code judiciaire/Gerechtelijk Wetboek)) and a divorce agreement relating to the place of residence of each spouse during the proceedings, parental authority, management of the assets of the couple's children and access rights during and after the divorce, maintenance contributions of each spouse for their children, and any maintenance payments between the spouses during and after the divorce (Article 1288 of the Judicial Code).
There are two kinds of divorce in Belgium: divorce on the grounds of the irretrievable breakdown of the marriage (Article 229 of the Civil Code) and divorce by mutual consent (Article 230 of the Civil Code).
3.1 the personal relations between the spouses (e.g. the surname)
Divorce breaks the bond of marriage for the future. The former spouses are no longer each other's legal heirs. They are free to remarry. In Belgium, marriage has no effect on the surname of the spouses. However, a married person is entitled to use the other spouse's surname. Following divorce, a person can no longer use the surname of a former spouse in everyday and professional life, with the exception of a trade name in certain circumstances.
3.2 the division of property of the spouses
The joint ownership of property is dissolved. In the event of a divorce on the grounds of irretrievable breakdown, the spouses lose all the benefits that they have conferred on one another in any prenuptial agreements and since they married, and the benefits of any contractual appointments as heirs, unless otherwise agreed. In the event of divorce by mutual consent, the spouses determine their respective rights in advance through the comprehensive prior agreement between them (see question 1).
3.3 the minor children of the spouses
Dissolution of the marriage by divorce has no effect on the rights of children born within the marriage (Article 304 of the Civil Code). Once the marriage has been dissolved by divorce, authority over the children and the management of the children's assets is exercised by the spouses jointly, or by the spouse to whom the children are entrusted by an approved agreement between the parties, or by an order of the presiding judge of the court made in interlocutory proceedings (référé/kort geding) (Article 302 of the Civil Code). The spouses are responsible, according to their means, for the children's accommodation, maintenance, supervision, education and training, up to the age of majority of the children or the completion of their education (Article 203 of the Civil Code), and must contribute their share of the ordinary and extraordinary costs resulting from that obligation (Article 203 bis of the Civil Code). Such a contribution is usually made in the form of a maintenance payment determined either by the courts or by agreement.
3.4 the obligation to pay maintenance to the other spouse?
Divorce on the grounds of irretrievable breakdown: The spouses can agree a maintenance payment following the divorce, its amount and the terms under which the agreed amount may be reviewed. In the absence of agreement, the court can, at the request of the spouse in need, order a maintenance payment to be made by the other spouse. The court can refuse the request for a maintenance payment if the respondent proves that there was a serious fault on the part of the applicant that made it impossible to continue living together. A maintenance payment can under no circumstances be granted to a spouse who has been found guilty of acts of physical violence towards the other spouse. If the respondent proves that the applicant's state of need is the result of his or her own decision and was not motivated by the needs of the family, the court can excuse the respondent from having to pay maintenance, or can reduce the amount of the payment (Article 301(1), (2) and (5) of the Civil Code). The amount of the maintenance payment should at least meet the beneficiary's needs, but cannot exceed one-third of the income of the spouse obliged to make the payment. Maintenance is payable for a period no longer than the length of the marriage. This period can be extended in exceptional circumstances (Article 301(3), (4), (6), (8) and (9) of the Civil Code).
Divorce by mutual consent: The spouses determine their respective rights in advance through the comprehensive prior agreement between them (see question 1). During and after the divorce proceedings, they can agree the amount of any maintenance payment and the terms under which this amount is to be indexed and reviewed (Article 1288, first paragraph, subparagraph 4, of the Judicial Code).
In all cases, the maintenance payment can be increased, reduced or terminated by the court if the amount is no longer appropriate as a result of new circumstances beyond the control of the parties. In the event of divorce on the grounds of irretrievable breakdown only, the court can also adjust the amount of the maintenance payment if the divorce results in a change in the financial position of the spouses.
Legal separation (séparation de corps/scheiding van tafel en bed) does not break the bond of marriage, but reduces the mutual rights and obligations of the spouses: it removes the obligation to live together, and divides the property.
The conditions for legal separation are the same as those for divorce.
Legal separation does not break the bond of marriage, but reduces the mutual rights and obligations of the spouses. With regard to the spouses themselves, legal separation removes only the obligation to live together and the obligation to assist one another (devoir d'assistance/bijstandsplicht). The obligation of fidelity and the obligation of material support (devoir de secours/hulpplicht) remain (Article 308 of the Civil Code). Legal separation results in the division of the property (Article 311 of the Civil Code). With regard to children, the effects of legal separation are the same as those for divorce. Spouses who have separated do not qualify for maintenance payments, but they can invoke the obligation of material support (Article 213 of the Civil Code).
The effects of legal separation by mutual consent are the same as those for divorce by mutual consent and are governed by the prior agreements between the spouses, although the bond of marriage is not broken. The obligations of fidelity and material support also remain.
Nullity of marriage is a civil penalty applied when a marriage has taken place in breach of the law, despite the prior checks carried out by the registrar.
There is 'absolute' nullity of a marriage in the following cases:
One of the spouses is a minor and has not been released from the age requirement (Article 144 of the Civil Code): the minimum age to marry is 18 years.
Lack of consent (Article 146 of the Civil Code).
Sham marriage (Article 146 bis of the Civil Code): there is no marriage where a combination of circumstances reveals that the intention of at least one of the spouses was clearly not to form a lasting partnership, but simply to obtain an advantage in terms of residence conferred by the status of spouse.
Forced marriage (Article 146 ter of the Civil Code): there is no marriage where the supposed marriage is entered into without the free consent of both spouses and the consent of at least one of the spouses was given as a result of violence or threat.
Bigamy (Article 147 of the Civil Code).
Breach of an impediment to a marriage based on family ties by blood or marriage, or on a court order requiring a presumed biological father to make maintenance payments, or on family ties by adoption (Articles 161 to 164, 341 and 356‑1, first and second paragraphs, and Article 353‑13 of the Civil Code).
Lack of authority of the public official who solemnised the marriage (Article 191 of the Civil Code) (optional absolute nullity).
Clandestine marriage (Article 191 of the Civil Code) (optional absolute nullity).
There is 'relative' nullity of a marriage in the case of a defect of consent of one or both spouses or mistaken identity (Articles 180 and 181 of the Civil Code).
Annulment, the declaration of nullity, has the effect of voiding the marriage with regard to both the past and the future. It has retroactive effect to the date of the marriage. All the effects of the marriage disappear. The marriage is deemed never to have taken place.
Where the spouses married in good faith, in other words where they were unaware of a ground for annulment, the court can rule that the marriage be annulled only with regard to the future, with its past effects being retained. Where only one spouse married in good faith, the effects of the marriage can benefit that spouse only.
Those effects of the marriage that benefit children are retained, even where neither spouse married in good faith. Any children born during the annulled marriage or within 300 days of the annulment continue to be considered the children of the husband in the annulled marriage.
The law provides for two forms of mediation: voluntary mediation, where the parties engage the services of a mediator themselves, without the intervention of a court, and judicial mediation, proposed by the parties or the court in the course of judicial proceedings, which are then suspended. Mediation can be employed in disputes relating to marriage obligations (Articles 201 and 203 of the Civil Code), the rights and obligations of spouses (Articles 221 to 224 of the Civil Code), the effects of divorce (Articles 295 to 307 bis of the Civil Code), parental authority (Articles 371 to 387 bis of the Civil Code), divorce on the grounds of irretrievable breakdown (Article 229 of the Civil Code), divorce by mutual consent (Articles 1254 to 1310 of the Judicial Code) and de facto cohabitation. Each party is free to propose recourse to the voluntary mediation process (Article 1730 et seq. of the Judicial Code). The court hearing the case can also order judicial mediation at any stage of the proceedings (Article 1734 et seq. of the Judicial Code). In both cases, where the parties come to an agreement as a result of mediation, the agreement can be submitted to the court for approval. Approval can be refused only if the agreement is contrary to public policy or to the interests of minor children.
The granting of a divorce remains the responsibility of the courts.
An application for divorce or legal separation on the grounds of irretrievable breakdown or an application to convert a legal separation into a divorce is heard by the court of first instance (tribunal de première instance/vredegerecht) of the place of the last marital residence or of the place where the respondent has his or her address (domicile/woonplats) (Article 628, first paragraph, subparagraph 1, of the Judicial Code).
In the event of divorce by mutual consent, the spouses choose a court of first instance (Article 1288 bis, second paragraph, of the Judicial Code).
An application for marriage annulment is heard by the court of first instance of the place where the respondent has his or her address (Article 624 of the Judicial Code).
In the event of divorce on the grounds of irretrievable breakdown, the application is lodged: 1. by means of notice served by a bailiff (huissier de justice/gerechtsdeurwaarder), pursuant to Article 229(1) of the Civil Code; 2. jointly, pursuant to Article 229(2) of the Civil Code, by means of a joint application, in accordance with Article 1026 et seq. of the Judicial Code, signed by each spouse or at least a lawyer or notary (Article 1254(1) of the Judicial Code); or 3. unilaterally, pursuant to Article 229(3) of the Civil Code, by means of an application for ordinary adversarial proceedings, in accordance with Articles 1034 bis to 1034 sexies of the Judicial Code. In all cases, the document instituting the proceedings must contain, in addition to the information usually required, a detailed description of the facts and a statement giving particulars of any children (Article 1254(1) of the Judicial Code). The marriage certificate, birth certificates of any children, and proof of the identity and nationality of each spouse must also be submitted, unless they appear in the population register or register of foreign nationals (Article 1254(2) of the Judicial Code).
A divorce by mutual consent is requested by means of an application to the court (requête/verzoekschrift). In addition to the documents required for a divorce on the grounds of irretrievable breakdown, the prior agreements concluded by the parties and, where applicable, an inventory of their property must also be submitted.
The ordinary rules apply. See the factsheet on 'Legal aid'.
Any decision granting or refusing an application for divorce or legal separation on the grounds of irretrievable breakdown or an application for marriage annulment can be challenged within one month of the date of service of the judgment, whether it is a judgment given in default of appearance or a judgment given after both parties have been heard (Article 1048, first paragraph, and Article 1051, first paragraph, of the Judicial Code).
An appeal (appel/hoger beroep) against a judgment granting a divorce will be admissible only if it is based on non-compliance with the legal conditions for granting divorce or on the reconciliation of the spouses. Such an appeal can be lodged by the public prosecutor within one month of the judgment. In that case, it is served on both parties. It can also be lodged by one spouse or both spouses, separately or jointly, within one month of the judgment. In that case it is served on the public prosecutor and, if lodged by one spouse only, on the other spouse. An appeal that is based on reconciliation must in all cases be lodged jointly by both spouses within one month of the judgment. Such an appeal is served on the public prosecutor (Article 1299 of the Judicial Code). An appeal against a judgment refusing a divorce or legal separation by mutual consent will be admissible only if it is lodged by both parties, separately or jointly, within one month of the judgment (Article 1300 of the Judicial Code).
Council Regulation (EC) No 2201/2003 concerning jurisdiction and the recognition and enforcement of judgments in matrimonial matters and the matters of parental responsibility (the 'Brussels IIa Regulation') has been in force since 1 March 2005. The Regulation applies within the European Union (with the exception of Denmark). A judgment given in a Member State must be automatically recognised in the other Member States without any special procedure being required (Article 21(1) of the Brussels IIa Regulation). No special procedure is required for updating the civil-status records of a Member State on the basis of a judgment relating to divorce, legal separation or marriage annulment given in another Member State, and against which no further appeal lies under the law of that Member State (Article 21(2) of the Brussels IIa Regulation). A judgment relating to a divorce, legal separation or marriage annulment will not be recognised if such recognition is manifestly contrary to public policy, if the respondent was not served with the document which instituted the proceedings or with an equivalent document in sufficient time and in such a way as to enable the respondent to arrange for his or her defence, or if it is irreconcilable with a judgment given earlier in proceedings between the same parties (Article 22 of the Brussels IIa Regulation). During the review, the jurisdiction of the court of origin may not be reviewed (Article 24 of the Brussels IIa Regulation) and under no circumstances may a judgment be reviewed as to its substance (Article 26 of the Brussels IIa Regulation). In addition, the recognition of a judgment may not be refused because Belgian law would not allow divorce on the same facts (Article 25 of the Brussels IIa Regulation). The documents to be produced so that a foreign court's judgment can be recognised are listed in Article 37 of the Brussels IIa Regulation.
Where the Brussels IIa Regulation does not apply, judgments made after 1 October 2004 are subject to the provisions of the Belgian Code of Private International Law (Code de droit international privé/Wetboek van Internationaal Privaatrecht — Article 126(2) of the Code). Under Article 22 of the Code, recognition is automatic without any legal proceedings being required. A foreign court's judgment will not be recognised where the effect of recognition is manifestly contrary to public policy, where the rights of the defence have been infringed, where the judgment results from an infringement of the law, where the judgment is still open to appeal, where the judgment is irreconcilable with a Belgian judgment or with a judgment previously given abroad that can be recognised in Belgium, where the foreign proceedings were instituted after proceedings were instituted in Belgium between the same parties and relating to the same subject-matter and which are still pending, where only the Belgian courts had jurisdiction to hear the proceedings, where the jurisdiction of the foreign court was based solely on the presence in the country to which that court belonged of the respondent or of property not directly connected with the dispute, or where recognition is frustrated by one of the grounds for refusal listed restrictively in the Code (in the area of personal and family law, the only such grounds are name, adoption and repudiation) (Article 25(1) of the Code). During the review, under no circumstances may the foreign judgment be reviewed as to its substance (Article 25(2) of the Code). The documents to be produced so that a foreign court's judgment can be recognised are listed in Article 24 of the Code.
The fundamental principle of both the Brussels IIa Regulation and the Code of Private International Law is automatic recognition without any special procedure being required. However, where recognition is based on the Brussels IIa Regulation, any interested party may, in accordance with the procedures provided for in Section 2, apply for a decision that the judgment be or not be recognised (Article 21(3) of the Brussels IIa Regulation). Where the Brussels IIa Regulation does not apply, any interested person, or the public prosecutor, may, in accordance with the procedure in Article 23 of the Code, apply for a declaration that the judgment must be recognised, in whole or in part, or cannot be recognised (Article 22(2) of the Code).
Article 55(1) of the Code contains the choice-of-law rule for divorces and legal separations with an international dimension. Divorce and legal separation are governed:
1. by the law of the country in whose territory both spouses are habitually resident at the time when the application is lodged;
2. if both spouses are not habitually resident in the same country, by the law of the country in whose territory the spouses had their last common habitual residence, provided one of them is habitually resident in that country at the time when the application is lodged;
3. if neither of the spouses is habitually resident in the country where they had their last common habitual residence, by the law of the country of which both spouses are nationals at the time when the application is lodged;
4. in other cases, by Belgian law.
The concept of 'habitual residence' is defined in Article 4(2) of the Code. 'Common habitual residence' does not necessarily mean residence at the same address or in the same municipality, but rather residence in the same country. The law indicated in Article 55(1) of the Code cannot be applied where that law does not recognise the institution of divorce. In that case, the law to be applied is the law indicated by the next alternative criterion in paragraph 1 (Article 55(3) of the Code).
Spouses also have a limited opportunity to choose the applicable law themselves: they can opt for the law of the country of which both are nationals at the time when the application is lodged, or for Belgian law (Article 55(2) of the Code). This choice can be made at the latest during the first appearance before the court hearing the application for divorce or legal separation.
The applicable law indicated in Article 55 of the Code determines the rules governing: the admissibility of an application for legal separation; the grounds and conditions of the divorce or legal separation or, in the case of a joint application, the conditions of consent, including the way in which this is expressed; the obligation for the spouses to agree on measures relating to the person, maintenance and property of the spouses and children for whom they are responsible; and the dissolution of the bond of marriage or, in the event of separation, the degree of relaxation of that bond (Article 56 of the Code).

Q: How can i use eclipse 2020-09 to develop java 8 projects? I am a regular IntelliJ user, but most of my co-workers use Eclipse. A lot of them say the latest version of Eclipse "2020-09", which requires a JRE "higher than Java 8" in order to run, cannot be used to develop projects requiring JRE8.
This is pretty surprising to me, since I know it is possible to install multiple JDKs and JREs on one machine, I've done it plenty of times.
What is the typical way a person would configure Eclipse 2020-09 (already installed) to work on a project that requires a Java 8 JRE?
A: JRE 8 apps in eclipse workspace is possible by having the jre 8 jdk. It is true that in order to use eclipse 2020-09 you need java 11+ jdk/jre, but making projects that support jre 8 is still possible.Even I still use 2020-06 and before. Here is a method you could use to get JRE 8 implemented back in your project. Although you can change the defaults, this one will help you change the environment back to java 8 for 1 project.
Right click the library named somthing like "JRE system library[JavaSE-11]". Press properties. This is what you will see JRE System Library chooser image
Choose "Alternate JRE" then click "Installed JREs"Step Image
Press "Add" then you will see 3 options. Choose standard VM. Find your java 8 jdk directory. Usually it is something like C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_251.
You can configure the default arguments for your jvm runtime. Then simply hit ok,select the jdk-8 library and close it. Then choose alternate jre again and in the drop-down choose jdk-1.8.0 or some name like that. This will only work if you also have java 8 installed alongside java 11 that is configured properly JDK
A: You can use Java 11 to start the Eclipse 2020-09 and configure a project to compile with Java 8. The problem is if you want a Eclipse plugin that uses CORBA for example. This module was removed from Java 11 earlier. In this case, I recommend to use Eclipse 2020-06.
A: Earlier versions of 2020-09 was working with Java 8. I had it, too. Then I updated and I got the same error message like you.
I propose to use an older one or to install JRE 11 and set the JAVA_HOME env variable to it.
The inside the IDE you can set java 8 like an JDK and develope your project with Java 8 while eclipse is running with 11.

Q: XPath to select a table row that has a cell containing specified text How do I select a table row that has a cell containing specified text with XPath?
A: Use:
ExpressionSelectingTable/tr[td//text()[contains(., 'targetString')]]
This means:
Select every tr that is a child of any table selected by the expression ExpressionSelectingTable and that (the tr) has at least one td child that has at least one text-node descendent that contains the string 'targetString'
A: To select rows with cells containing some text you would use this XPath expression:
//tr/td[normalize-space(text())="Banana"]/..
This selects any td that contains text "Banana" and then selects the parent with /..

Are you ready for a room full of Bluths, specifically gathered for the purposes of ruminating over themselves? Because we're getting it. Or, rather, we're getting the Arrested Development cast on Inside the Actor's Studio . Which is pretty much the same thing.
Warden Stefan Gentiles (AKA Inside the Actor's Studio host James Lipton) will sit down with the Bluth family for an episode set to air Thursday, Nov. 7. The episode will feature a panel of Arrested Development actors including Will Arnett, Jason Bateman, Portia de Rossi, Alia Shawkat, Jeffrey Tambor, and Jessica Walter, as well as series creator Mitch Hurwitz.
Lipton is notable not only as Actor's Studio host but also as one of Arrested Development's most memorable guest stars — the aspiring screenwriter warden of the prison — so it'll be fun to see how or if that is worked in.
Inside the Actor's Studio is a notorious goldmine for learning interesting tidbits about actors, their favorite swearwords, and their "process," so what do you think there'll be to learn about the people behind one of television's most notorious fictional families? Is it a cast secret that Michael Cera's powers were born through that horrible mustache he had for a while? Do Jason Bateman and Will Arnett read Michael/Gob fan fiction to each other in their trailers before takes? And can the cast invite Franklin too?

Summary: Our case report describes a young male mechanic who was hit in his face by a spring while repairing a car, resulting in traumatic injury to the frontal sinus, with fractures of both the anterior and the posterior tables with dural defect and cerebrospinal fluid leak. Current guidelines recommend that comminuted and/or displaced fractures of the posterior table of the frontal sinus with dural defects should be either cranialized or obliterated. In this patient, instead of cranializing or obliterating the frontal sinus, we managed to preserve the frontal sinus anatomy and its outflow tract using a combined open bicoronal and nasoendoscopic approach. This avoids the long-term complications associated with cranialization or obliteration including mucocele formation and frontocutaneous fistula.
From the Department of Otolaryngology, Changi General Hospital, Singapore, Singapore.
Received for publication August 5, 2014; accepted December 16, 2014.
K.H.K. is a 29-year-old car mechanic who sustained a contaminated 3 cm × 4 cm open wound over the left medial canthus and nose when a car suspension spring sprang out and hit his face. There were no neurological deficits or visual disturbances and no cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leak on nasoendoscopy.
A computed tomography (CT) scan with 3-dimensional reconstruction of the face revealed (1) displaced comminuted fractures of the anterior and posterior left frontal sinus walls extending to the floor of the left anterior cranial fossa and cribriform plate, with pneumocranium; (2) fractures of bilateral orbital roofs; and (3) nasal bone fractures involving the bony canals of bilateral nasolacrimal ducts (Fig. 1).
Serial CT scans of the brain did not show any acute intracranial hemorrhage or midline shift. He was started on intravenous ceftriaxone 2 g once a day and dexamethasone 6 mg q8H.
K.H.K. underwent open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) of his facial fractures and left frontal sinusotomy under general anesthesia within 24 hours of admission. A bicoronal, combined with endoscopic, approach was used to access the facial fractures and the left frontal sinus.
Intraoperative findings confirmed CT findings. Of significance, a 1-cm dural tear with CSF leak was noted at the left posterior table fracture site, which resolved with multilayer repair of the dural defect. A 1.5 cm × 1.5 cm sheet of DuraGen was used as an underlay graft. A 2 cm × 2 cm pedicled (right supraorbital artery) pericranial flap was used as an onlay graft. Repair was reinforced with Tisseel glue (Fig. 2).
The frontal sinus bone fragments were repositioned and fixed with plates. The bilateral supraorbital rims and frontal buttress were plated with orbital mesh plate and 4 mm × 4 mm screws. Pericranial flap was placed in left orbital roof defect to support dural repair. Drains were placed in subgaleal plane before the galea and skin were closed.
A 0.5-mm Silastic stent was inserted into the left frontal recess endoscopically. Merocel packs were then inserted into each nostril.
Postoperatively he was monitored in a high dependency unit, placed on hourly conscious level charting, intravenous antibiotics, and steroids, and nursed in a 30° head-up position. Laxatives were added to prevent straining at the stools. X-ray of face confirmed correct placement of implants (Fig. 3). The Merocel packs were removed on POD1. No CSF leak was seen. He started oral feeds on POD2, and subgaleal drains were removed. He was subsequently transferred to general ward. Nasoendoscopy revealed no middle meatal adhesions or obvious CSF leak. The left frontal recess stent remained patent. Ambulatory physiotherapy commenced on POD6. He was started on sinus irrigation and discharged well after completing 1 week of intravenous acetazolamide and antibiotics. The antibiotics were oralized for another week.
He was reviewed at 3 weeks' postoperatively and then monthly after. At 3 weeks, some hemoserous mucus in the left middle meatus was seen. In subsequent appointments, the left frontal-ethmoidal recess remained patent (stent was removed after 1 month) and dry with no CSF leak (Fig. 4).
Frontal sinus fractures form a significant portion (5–12%) of all craniofacial fractures. Due to their anatomical position and the high kinetic energy required to cause the fractures, they are associated with other possible complications (Table 1).
Preservation of the frontal sinus anatomy is not a new concept. Anterior table fractures3 involving the frontal outflow tract have been successfully repaired with preservation of the frontal sinus and its outflow tract. In the series by Smith et al4 of 7 anterior table fractures repairs, 5 had patent outflow tracts postoperatively. Two had outflow obstruction requiring subsequent sinusotomy procedures.
Sinus preservation is possible in a select group of frontal sinus fractures. Chen et al10 advocate that, in the absence of fracture comminution or displacement, CSF leaks can be managed conservatively. Shi et al11 described transnasal endoscopic repair in 15 patients with traumatic frontal sinus CSF leaks, preserving frontal sinus anatomy and outflow tract. However, it was not reported whether the fractures were displaced or comminuted enough that cranialization or obliteration of the frontal sinus would have otherwise been required.
Restoring frontal sinus anatomy and outflow patency is ideal in frontal sinus fracture management. If the frontal sinus outlet tract is subsequently stenosed, a later frontal sinus rescue procedure12 can be performed. If this also fails, cranialization or obliteration can still be performed.
In our case report, the severity of K.H.K.'s frontal sinus trauma would normally have necessitated cranialization or obliteration. He underwent successful ORIF of the frontal sinus fractures and dural defect closure with preservation of the frontal sinus anatomy and its outflow tract, which remained patent with no CSF leak 6 months postoperatively.
CSF leak can be stopped. A review13 of 875 frontal sinus fractures suggests that patients with comminuted and displaced posterior table fractures with CSF leaks could possibly be managed nonoperatively. Three of 7 such patients were managed nonoperatively, with no intracranial complications of CSF leaks. The decisions behind the conservative management and long-term complications were not documented.
Other causes of raised intracranial pressure such as empty sella syndrome/benign intracranial hypertension/intracerebral hemorrhage in trauma are excluded.

The Elmo Plaskett East 9-10 All-Stars dominates West All-Stars
June 17, 2007 — The Elmo Plaskett East 9-10 All-Stars continued their dominance over their West end counterparts by sweeping them in the weekend St. Croix championships, two games to none. The East won both games by blasting their way to two ten-run mercy ruled wins.
On Friday the easterners used a nine run fourth to beat the West, 15-5. On Saturday it was a dominating pitching performance from Leonardo Castillo and an early offensive onslaught that did in the West to the tune of 11-1.
The East started fast in the top of the first inning by exploding for 10 runs. They batted around in the inning with their 10 runs highlighted by two RBI singles by Romani Hansen, and RBI singles by Daren Stevens and Dejohn Hardy. It would prove to be more than enough runs for their starting pitcher, Castillo.
The West scored their lone run of the game in the bottom of the third on an RBI single by Jamori Venzen, but that was all of their offense.
The East went on to score the final run of the game in the top of the fourth on Deondre Simmonds' RBI single for a final score of 11-1.
Castillo pitched a strong game to pick up the series clincher for the East, while Raymond Sankitts got the loss for the West. Top hitters for the East were Romani Hansen, 3 for 3 with two RBIs and Darren Stevens was 2 for 3 with three RBIs. For the West, Venzen was 1 for 2 with one RBI.
The action continues next weekend at the Renholt Jackson Sport Complex when the St. Thomas champions come to St. Croix to play for the right to represent the territory in little League's Latin American and Caribbean Championships.

EmiSunshine – Special Guest Etta May-Recap
Mar 8, 2020 | 2019-2020 Season
EmiSunshine with Special Guest Etta May
Emisunshine marked another first for the Clausen Center as we presented two separate and distinct headliners. Etta May opened the show with her take-no-prisoners performance full of truth, irony, humor and wisdom. Winner of the prestigious American Comedy Award's Comic of the Year, she has been hailed as the Polyester Princess and the Queen of Southern Sass.
At just 15, EmiSunshine moved past her prodigy label to become a rising star who captured the nation's attention with her already substantial touring experience. Steeped in Appalachian tradition, Emi is a true vocal stylist and a throwback to earlier eras of country and bluegrass music when trendsetters like Loretta Lynn, June Carter and Hank Williams were making history.
Once exposed to Etta May's humor and EmiSunshine's musical talent, we won't forget either one!

Doors at 7.00pm, show at 8.00pm
Making his fourth visit to TLR, Ross Wilson aka Blue Rose Code has become a genuine favourite of the crowd here, tripling his audience over the past three visits.
Ross Wilson aka Blue Rose Code addresses universal themes of love, loss, travel, home and hard times in a deeply personal way. His songs are variously painted with the vibrant colours of folk, Americana, jazz, country, soul, pop and, increasingly, celtic traditions. This eclecticism has become a hallmark of his work and has seen him compared to John Martyn, Van Morrison and Tom Waits amongst others.
His fifth album, With Healings Of The Deepest Kind was released in July 2020. Self-produced for the first time, and taking his emotional honesty to new levels, it's the most fully realised rendition of his singular vision to date.
"Healings is ravishingly beautiful, a burnished blaze of Caledonian Soul, muted jazz and poetic recitation…A bruised peach of a record." Uncut 8/10
"Ross' songwriting and expressive performance are simply breathtaking…an album classic." Louder Than War
"One of the greatest live acts around right now so if you get a chance to see them in any of their many guises do yourself a favour and go." Americana UK

A Navy diver who lost a hand and a leg in a Sydney Harbour shark attack is back diving and walking, and says he wants to return to work at the scene of the attack.
Doctors said navy clearance diver Paul de Gelder was lucky to survive the mauling by a 2.7-metre bull shark off Garden Island Naval Base on February 11.
After seven weeks in hospital, Mr de Gelder has told 60 Minutes he is determined to put the experience behind him.
He is already walking with a prosthetic leg, driving high performance cars and confronting his fears head-on by swimming with sharks at an Manly's Oceanarium.
The extremely fit 31-year-old appeared comfortable examining graphic medical photographs of his injuries taken just before doctors decided to amputate his leg and hand.
Asked whether he planned on being a Navy clearance diver again, he said: "I do, I've never stopped".
After five years as a clearance diver and working on peacekeeping mission in East Timor, he said his goal was to get back to working exactly where he was before the incident.
"That will be something that I'll have to do," he told the Nine Network.
"It's going to be a tough bridge to vivid savagcross, but you can't show weakness."
Mr de Gelder gave an account of the e 6.30am (AEDT) attack while visiting the scene north of the Garden Island docks.
"It's all a little bit nerve-wracking really," he said.
"I kind-of wish I didn't come out that day but you can't change the past. You have to look to the future."
He said that during equipment testing sharks were "everywhere" off Garden Island and the thought of the predators circling came into his mind "every time".
"You just put it to the back of your mind and try not to worry about it.
"You have an obligation, a role and a job that you have to get on with so you don't let the things that scare you stop you from doing that."
He said sharks were in his mind on the morning the attack.
"Then it was in my leg," he joked.
"I remember it all."
Mr de Gelder was on the surface when the shark began mauling his leg and hand.
"I was swimming on my back. I had my fins on and a wetsuit on, and I was just checking my direction and when I got halfway back from turning around I got hit in the leg and looked down and there was a big toothy grin.
"(It was) grey, white, toothy and beady.
"I'd never seen a shark up close before. To see it like that was not something you expect.
"You look down and there's a big monster attached to you and your mind goes into panic mode."
At one point, the shark's head was just 50cm away from Mr de Gelder's face.
"We were pretty much staring eye to eye for about three or four seconds."
In one bite it took his "whole hand and the whole of the back of my leg".
"It just felt like getting hit in the leg with a plank of wood, you don't feel the teeth go in or anything.
"I think the adrenalin, the panic, probably puts a numb on the pain and you don't feel it."
Four navy colleagues dragged him onto a boat and got him to shore before he was rushed to St Vincent's Hospital in a critical condition.
"I thought he was dead," Navy colleague Lane Patterson said.
Doctors said he most probably would have died in the water if the main artery in his leg had been severed.
He is now living with his girlfriend in an apartment paid for by the Navy and is being helped by his life-long friend Brock who quit his job to care for him.
But he is still getting used to the new hi-tech leg and will soon have a bionic hand fitted.
I get out of bed and it's a bit of a struggle," he said.
"It takes all your strength to sort of roll yourself out and get going in the mornings, physically.
"Mentally, I just want to bound out of bed, go and have breakfast and run down to the water and go for a swim but … baby steps."

Today I was the recipient of someone's random act of kindness. I was in the grocery store and was about to pass the frozen pizza section. I was debating buying a pizza because it wasn't on my list and we are trying to cut back on what we spend. As I glanced over at my favorite pizza I saw that someone had left a coupon on the shelf for that particular pizza! 😀 It was a little thing but it was nice. That person could have easily decided not to buy the pizza and simply walked away. But, they decided to take just an extra moment to open the freezer door and tuck the coupon on the shelf for someone else. That brightened my day and served as a reminder to be on the lookout for ways to be kind to others.

When you have found a painting silly and ugly for the whole of your adult life, then come around a corner in an exhibition, see it again and are KO'd by it, find yourself gibbering with exaltation at the sight of it, feel like crying, even, at its missed remarkableness — when this happens to you, then tough questions obviously need to be asked of yourself. Am I too old? Have my standards plummeted? Was the alcohol still in my system? Am I turning into Paul Johnson? This was the weird fate that befell me as I toured Tate Britain's transfixing sample of pre-Raphaelite nature paintings. The whole show is affecting. A revelation. But it was encountering The Scapegoat, by William Holman Hunt, that unhinged me and left me temporarily gaga, with a clear and severe attack of Stendhal syndrome.
The Scapegoat usually hangs in that peculiar art gallery near Liverpool built on soap millions and surrounded by dinky utopian cottages: the Lady Lever Art Gallery in Port Sunlight. To my shame, I have not visited this soapy utopia for more than two decades. In all this time, I have not seen Hunt's masterpiece in the flesh, or, to tell the truth, given the damn thing a thought. As I remembered it, it was a lurid and ludicrous outpouring of high-Victorian melodrama, the pictorial equivalent of a Meat Loaf single, and therefore best forgotten.
I don't know how much you know about Hunt, but in my book the man was a buffoon, a creepy and at best half-sane religious oddball who boasted the full set of Victorian inadequacies: sexual, behavioural, religious, political and mental. We should feel sorry for him, really. The poor clown spent most of his career tortured from all directions by the rapidly modernising England he lived in, disapproving of his world to the point of mania, and beyond. This was an unusually angry and unusually righteous fanatic. But when he looked at something with those mad religious eyes of his, it certainly stayed looked at. His eyes were an instrument of torture. My evidence for this is The Scapegoat.
Of course, all the pre-Raphaelites were disapprovers.
Disapproval made them. The very naming of the brotherhood was an act of disapproval. By siding with those who came before Raphael, these mid-Victorian YBAs were attempting to reverse through the entire process of civilisation by actively disapproving of 500 years of reason and progress. One of the spookiest paintings in Tate Britain is Hunt's ugly 1853 display of woman-bashing, The Awakening Conscience. We're in a plush Victorian living room. A kept woman who has seen the error of her filthy ways rears up off the knee of her wealthy male master like a cat that has had its tail stood on. If Ian Paisley were a painter, he might aspire to pictorial finger-wagging of this crudity and gracelessness. Yet it is this unreasonableness that caused Hunt, in The Scapegoat, to go further than anyone else would have gone in his crazed creative effort. Look at that cowering goat. The shudder. The dread. The fear. Don't tell me you can't feel it. Call the RSPCA. This poor beast is petrified.
Hunt's most renowned painting, The Light of the World, is to be found everywhere in the margins of lowbrow Christendom, in every church corridor and on every Sunday-school wall. It shows Christ abroad at night with a lantern, knocking on an ivy-covered wooden door that has not been opened for far too long — nudge, nudge — and is marginally preferable to the ghastly Awakening Conscience because it is set outdoors and filled with proof of Hunt's obsessive attention to natural detail. Delightfully exact ivy. A thoroughly scruffy wooden door. The painting is as tall as a wine bottle, yet it took him three years to paint, because Hunt would work on it only during a full moon: these were the specific light effects he was after.
It is unfortunate, really, that excess familiarity has tamed The Light of the World and made it appear so thoroughly banal today. It, too, had a revolutionary heart — of sorts. But the ultimate problem with Hunt is that he couldn't paint people. His figures always let him down. The figure of Christ in The Light of the World is as standardised and insipid as a C of E bookmark, and completely undermines the manic naturalness achieved in every other corner of the painting. This inability to be as convincing in their figures as they are in their backgrounds is the central dilemma of the pre-Raphaelites. And the reason Pre-Raphaelite Vision: Truth to Nature, at Tate Britain, is as exciting a show as it is is that the backgrounds are what the display is interested in.
To reach Hunt's petrified goat, painted in what is now Palestine in 1854, on the banks of the Dead Sea, you need first to run a gauntlet of miraculously accurate pre-Raphaelite landscape details, many of which will take your breath away. At the start of the show, Tate staff hand out magnifying glasses, and as you Sherlock Holmes your way around the thistles, the brambles, the butterflies, it quickly becomes obvious that the pre-Raphaelite inability to resist the temptation of the figure was an aesthetic tragedy. If only they had stuck with their backgrounds, what a landscape movement we would have had. This is impressionism before the impressionists, symbolism before the symbolists, and even, in some of Hunt's more lurid outdoor colour stretches, fauvism before the fauves.
And then there is The Scapegoat. Its original story is outlined, tersely and cruelly, in Leviticus 16:10-34. The Israelites, on the day of atonement, choose a goat to be their "scapegoat". They confess all their sins to it, fill it with their wickedness, as it were, then send it into the wilderness. "And the goat shall bear upon him all their iniquities unto a land not inhabited," warbles the Bible, on this excellent escape strategy for sinners. When the atonement was complete, the red wool attached to the scapegoat's horns was supposed to turn white. Note: it hasn't done so yet in Hunt's magnificently furtive and creepy evocation of the moment.
Hunt set off for the Holy Land for the same reasons that he painted The Light of the World in the moonlight: for accuracy. He wanted to produce a Bible painting soaked in the actual light of the actual Bible landscape. He had already learnt, before he left England, that the real world is highly coloured, even its darkest stretches, and his pre-Scapegoat views of the English coast pulse already with a fantastic luminosity. But English luminosity and Palestinian luminosity are luminosities of a different order. Hunt is not making up the purple and yellow migraine-throb of this empty desert horizon. It's what he found there.
What he actually did was to arrange an expedition out of Jerusalem to the far end of the Dead Sea, to a place he called "Oosdoom", the site, it was said, of ancient Sodom. The salt had caked the mud. The bones of those animals that hadn't made it out of there poked up through the white crust. What a weird and anxious landscape it was. Only brigands, run-aways and murderers ever came here, and the best-known photograph of Hunt at work on The Scapegoat shows him cradling a rifle in his non-painting arm. He also kept a pistol under his smock. For week after week, he camped out on these fatal shores, getting that light right. The story is that he got through several goats as well, perfecting the fear in their eyes and catching the tousled mattness of their fur. Back in Jerusalem, when he still had not got it, Hunt stood the goat in a tray of salt-caked mud he had brought back from "Oosdoom" and tortured it some more, till it was right.
Thus, the colours of the land throb with psychedelic urgency, and the Bambi cortex of the brain takes an almighty emotional hammering. With no people in the picture to worry about, Hunt is free to convey the charged, dark, miserable meanings he is after with the landscape alone, and the look on the face of his sad, shuffling beast. It's there because of you. The sins it carries are yours.
Coming across The Scapegoat in this show is an amazingly confrontational experience.

Making Redundancies Other Brewers Cannot Match
Posted on Feb 10, 2021. by NTI
There are 8,000 people today who recognise that Heineken unleashes the redundancy figures other beers cannot reach. It is a shocking number, but only part of a £1.8 billion cost-cutting programme over the next two years.
If your sister works for Heineken in their hops division (for such there surely is) and you are about to call her to ask how she is, we in the NTI newsroom should warn you that have been the victim of a partial clickbaiting drive-by, as just under 100 British employees are to go in these measures, equivalent to about 4 per cent of its 2,300-strong local workforce. That's still a lot, and we don't need to patronise you by suggesting reasons for these cuts by the world's second biggest maker of beers and the UK's number 1. The hospitality industry is totally knackered.
But does 'knackered' have a number? It turns out it does. A report from the British Beer and Pub Association (the BPPA) tells the sadly illiquid story of sales of beer in pubs falling by 56 per cent, or £7.8 billion in 2020, last year as lockdowns and trading restrictions took their toll, according to industry figures. A surprisingly sober spokesperson from the BPPA said: "Our members cannot continue to hold out under these circumstances."
"Would you call this a 'droop' of the brewers?" a tactless journo asked, receiving the acclaim of a few indiscreet sniggers by a few fellow attendees at the press conference. He received 'a look', a clearing of the throat and a disdainful shrug by the spokesperson, who continued:
"We are calling for continued financial support even after pubs reopen."
We don't need to guess at the numbers behind this call for help, we have the numbers. Beer sales in pubs were down by 96 per cent in the April - June period and by 77 per cent in the last three months of last year.
Back to Heineken, the company claims to have helped many of its tenants with up to £44 million of rent cuts during the worst times of Covid. This is whilst it recorded a big increase in sales through supermarkets and other retail outlets. One of the big winners was its non-alcoholic Heineken 0.0 lager, which washes the vegan pork scratchings and potato-free crisps down a treat.
We couldn't blame you for staying in for a few 0.0 lager sharpeners this evening to wash that news down.

We offer tours, accommodations, and more in Rio and other locations in Brazil for you to explore it to its fullest potential.
Accessible travel Brazil
Like many countries, Brazil still has a long way to go to make its cities and towns accessible to all. However, in the 1980s, the country began to discuss the accessibility of its spaces.The government decidedto regulate the accessibility of its buildings and spaces, and in 2015 this regulation was revised and other rules were established. In Sao Paulo, there are accessible subways and buses, and in Rio de Janeiro there also are podotactile floors for people with impaired vision in subways. The main museums and tourist attractions have ramps and other accessible adaptations.

Requirements to enter Brazil depend on your nationality. Check the specific entry requirements according to nationality here.
https://www.visitbrasil.com/key-information/visa-and-documents-required.html
Brazil is a very large country so its climatic conditions vary, however, it is mostly tropical, meaning that there is not much variation between seasons. Cities like Rio de Janeiro and its surroundings can be extremely hot, but others further south like Sao Paulo and Brasilia have a more moderate climate: it can even get cold.
Brazil is the only country in Latin America whose official and national language is Portuguese. Spanish or English as a second language is taught in schools, and sign language was legally recognized in 2002.
Electricity voltage in Brazil varies between 110V and 220V, depending on the location. Electrical transformers and adapters are easy to find and hotels generally offer them.

Synopsis: Two psychopathic young men take a family hostage in their cabin.
Quick Review: I can't believe I actually wasted almost 2 hrs of my time on this patronizing, self-satisfied exercise in style.
Love him or hate him, Michael Haneke's movies won't leave you indifferent. So. kudos for him to create a movie that will have many people talk.
Since I haven't seen the original movie I won't be commenting on it but apparently the US version does not differ in any ways in terms of script and direction.
While I have to praise the actors for their work (Naomi Watts has found her best role yet and Michael Pitt is just delightfully creepy despite his angelic face) and, to some extent, Haneke's quite brilliant camera work, I can't go past the obnoxious 4th wall break and the whole hypocrisy of the proceedings.
Haneke wants us to believe Funny Games has a purpose behind the psychological and physical torture of this family. But it is just your typical torture movie disguised in art.
People can criticize movies such as I Spit on Your Grave or You're Next all they want, but those movies aren't pretending to be something they aren't. They give us what we expect without judging us, the audience.
Funny Games is just an empty shell of a movie who wants to shock its viewers while making them feel guilty for doing so. Shame on you Mr Haneke.

The 10-week program will give Kennedy and his classmates the chance to study French language and Malian culture, and allow them to experience life in both the capital city of Bamako through home stays, and in rural areas during excursions to several important medieval historic sites. They'll take courses in literature, film, history and culture, French conversation, and Bambara language.
Off-campus study is considered an integral part of education at Carleton, and about two-thirds of all Carleton students study off campus at some point during their four years. For more information about Carleton's off-campus study opportunities, click here.
Nathan Kennedy's Mali Journal (Winter 2006)
Junior Nathan Kennedy (Kenosha, Wis.) is spending winter term 2006 on an off-campus French studies seminar program in Mali offered through Carleton and led by French professor Cherif Keita, a native of that country.
March 5: Saying Goodbye to Mali
It's been a long ten weeks, but at the same time it's gone by very quickly. Now it's nearly time to leave Mali. In two days we'll be on a plane headed north, back to Western society, cold weather, and family. Not that we won't be leaving family behind as well. Monday night we face some tough good-byes.

February 23, 2006: The Voyage
We flew back to Mopti after spending the night in Timbuktu. After a quick stop at the hotel where we'd left our larger luggage (its name: "ya pas de problème," literally, "there's no problem"),we spent a little time touring the city.Then it was on the road again, off to Mali's famous Dogon country.

February 15, 2006: All the Way to Timbuktu...
Yes, Timbuktu (spelled Tombouctou in French) is in Mali, and we actually went there. Before I started preparing for this trip, I didn't know that a city of that name really existed. I thought it was just a cliché, as did many others in our group. It's amazing how far this term abroad has taken us.
But I suppose I should start from the beginning. The visit to the famed middle of nowhere was just a part of a long journey around Mali and its neighbor Burkina Faso. Twenty-two students, four professors and seven drivers were squeezed into seven 4X4s, in which we traveled over paved and dirt roads and through diverse landscapes on trips ranging from two to nine hours.In eleven days we visited nine cities and villages and saw the immense diversity among Mali's different regions and ethnic groups.

Bamako - City at a Crossroads
Bamako, the capital of Mali, is a city full of anomalies. We've been here about three weeks and everywhere I've noticed these unexpected juxtapositions of old and new, traditional and Western. For example, on our second full day here, I was sitting in the courtyard of our hotel and was able, for the first time, to place myself geographically. Earlier that day, traveling through the city, I had been looking out of the bus window and had seen first a donkey cart, and not ten seconds later a brand new Honda.

My Family in Mali
We were picked up by our host families the night we returned from the village. It was an apprehensive wait, although many of us had already met our parents. Still, nobody knew quite what to expect. How different would life with a Malian family really be? Would our homes have luxuries like TV or running water? Would we really feel like a part of this new family?

January 8, 2006: In the Village
Our journey began with a short stay in a Bamako hotel, and some basic introductions to the country. Apart from a few ill students, and a flat tire that delayed us for about two hours in the middle of the city, this went rather smoothly. After that we all packed a bag to stay three days in the village where faculty adviser Chérif Keita's father was born. This was one of the most eye-opening experiences of my life.

Dec. 27, 2005: Mali Expectations
Over the past month I've been accumulating stuff, as I'm sure everyone has—gifts for my host family, basic necessities, malaria meds, and of course plenty of Pepto-Bismol. But until about a week ago it was all still so far away, the fact that instead of going back to Carleton with its familiar faces and atmosphere, I'll be flying halfway across the world to a place where, it seems, everything will be different.

Federal Charges for Domestic Violence in Illinois? It Can Happen
Domestic violence is a quite-serious offense that can be met with severe criminal and civil consequences. A domestic violence conviction can be life-changing, even for first-time offenders.
Crimes against family and household members are on the rise in Illinois and nationwide. Further, false accusations of domestic violence are also increasing – an estimated 700,000 wrongful domestic violence arrests occur annually.
Although domestic violence is ordinarily handled at a state level, it is sometimes prosecuted federally, which is more serious. Below, we take a look at what makes domestic violence a federal offense, and the consequences of federal prosecution.
What Constitutes Domestic Violence in Illinois
Legally speaking, domestic violence is a violent act committed against a family member or someone with whom the defendant has or had an intimate relationship. In this case, the charge is prosecuted not as assault, but rather as domestic violence.
As a rule, criminal domestic violence laws focus on physical harm, while civil domestic violence laws focus on emotional harm.
The Illinois Domestic Violence Act names the specific relationships covered by domestic violence laws:
Spouse or former spouse
Someone in a current or former dating relationship with the defendant
A parent and child or step parent and step child
Parents who have children together
People related by blood through a child
Current or former roommates
A disabled or elderly adult and caregiver
This crime occurs when the defendant commits an act of violence against someone with whom they have one of the above relationships. In most cases, Illinois state courts prosecute the incidents as domestic battery and aggravated domestic battery.
However, there are some circumstances in which the crime falls under the jurisdiction – and namely the interest of – federal prosecutors.
So, what is it that could make your domestic violence offense a federal case?
When Domestic Violence Is a Federal Offense
In 1994, Congress passed the Violence Against Women Act to help criminal justice systems deal with certain domestic violence situations, and under federal law, it becomes a federal domestic violence crime any time the offender or victim(s) – or both – cross state lines.
The statute specifically requires the intent to commit domestic violence at the time of interstate travel and that a bodily injury has to have taken place, or the offender has caused an intimate partner or family member to cross state lines by force, coercion, duress, or fraud, during which or as a result of which, there is bodily harm to the victim.
Essentially, if the defendant travels to another state with the intent to commit domestic violence and bodily injury results, or if the victim is forced to flee across state lines, the case may be prosecuted federally.
It is also a federal crime to:
Stalk or harass a victim by mail or computer
Cross state lines with the intention to violate a protective order
Cause the victim to cross state lines in violation of a protective order
Possess a gun and/or ammunition when previously convicted of domestic violence
Possess a gun and/or ammunition if the defendant has a protective order against them
If you have been federally charged with domestic violence in Illinois, and have questions about why, contact a domestic violence defense attorney for advice. Ultimately, these charges can be far more serious than state-level prosecution.
Why Is Federal Prosecution for Domestic Violence More Serious?
Federal domestic violence charges may be prosecuted at either the state or federal level. This is left to the discretion of federal courts. However, if your case does end up being prosecuted federally, this is not good news for a few reasons…
Federal investigations are more in-depth
Federal prosecutors have federal investigative agencies, such as the FBI, at their disposal. These federal agencies have more resources than local law enforcement, so you can expect a more thorough investigation that will likely be more difficult to defend against.
Mandatory minimums and sentencing guidelines
Federal courts are notorious for strictly enforced mandatory minimums. Moreover, federal judges are more likely to seek the maximum possible sentence for an offense. Even when guidelines are similar between state and federal courts, you can almost always expect a more severe sentence if prosecuted federally.
Federal inmates are ineligible for parole
Inmates at federal prisons are ineligible for parole. This means that the prison sentence you receive if convicted will be served out in full behind bars. Moreover, federal prisons are often far away from friends and family, making visitation more difficult.
Federal domestic violence charges should always be taken very seriously. If you find yourself facing these charges, it's imperative to be proactive in fighting back to beat the charges against you, or you could wind up losing your freedom and quite possibly your family too.
Andrew M. Weisberg is a former felony prosecutor who now serves as a defense attorney in the greater Chicago area. He has extensive experience in handling all types of criminal cases, from sex offenses and domestic violence to retail theft-related crimes, murder, and drug crimes.

Each one helps make a difference, from the ones who can give a dollar or two to the ones who can donate a hundred or more. The donations all add up to provide services for the community.

Frank would like to thank his family, The Andover Beacon, and supporters from the Andover community and the surrounding towns and communities who so generously contributed money and time to help support the New Hampshire Future In Sight in this endeavor.

Q. How can I tell when my winter squash is ready to be harvested?
A. Winter squash can be harvested at anytime for fresh consumption. For winter squash to store, wait until the skin of the fruit becomes hardened and cannot be scratched off with your thumbnail. It is best to harvest before the first hard frost for best storage.
Q. I like the red maple tree I planted in my backyard as a shade tree, especially the Autumn Flame with its smaller leaves, but I really don't like the seeds that maple trees drop all over. Do red maples produce a lot of seeds?
A. Yes, red maples can produce an abundance of seed "helicopters," but there are seedless varieties of red maple and red maple hybrids. Those reported to be seedless include Autumn Flame, Autumn Blaze, Brandywine, Autumn Spire, New World, Scarlet Sentinel, Somerset and Sun Valley. Before buying a specific cultivated variety, check to see if it is reported to be seedless.

Bad breath can kill confidence, self-esteem, communication, social status and more. Here's the factors to avoid in order to get rid of bad breath fast.
Poor and non – consistent care of the teeth is a leading cause of bad breath. When food sticks in between the teeth and the gums, bad bacteria starts degrading, which causes odorless gas.
The good news is that you can easily get rid of this type of bad breath, by just brushing your teeth twice a day and cleaning the tongue.
Like coffee, garlic, fish, eggs, onion, spicy foods. The food we eat can easily cause bad breath.
Many of the products that contribute to this do so by releasing sulfides. For example Sulfur, whose smell isn't pleasant at all. Mint or other dehydrated chewing gum can help.
It's important to be aware that some foods continue to produce an unpleasant smell while they are processed in the digestive system.
When your diet is low-carbohydrate, it forces the body to go into ketosis – the body burns fat cells for energy. This process produces waste products known as ketones.
Their accumulation, pass through the urine and the breath, often cause of the bad smell.
At night, saliva production is reduced, that's why you wake up with a bad taste and smell in the mouth, even after a hard brushing of the teeth before bedtime.
The person diagnosed with sleep apnea, breathes through the mouth at night, dry the mouth further, making the breath even more unbearable.
Hundreds of commonly used drugs can dry the mouth and contribute to unpleasant odors. Some of the most common culprits are medicines that treat anxiety, depression, high blood pressure, pain and muscle tension.
If you are a smoker, you probably have no idea how the smell of tobacco is shed in your clothes and belongings. Smoking not only adapts you to such types of smells, it also dampens your senses.
Obviously, cigarette's hot air will make your mouth dry. The loss of saliva, combined with the smell of tobacco, creates the scandalous "smoker's breath".

When important information changes, your lender is required to give you a revised Loan Estimate showing how this new information affects your loan terms and closing costs.
The Loan Estimate is a form that went into effect on Oct. 3, 2015.
"Can you explain why I received a new Loan Estimate?"
"How is my loan transaction different from what I was originally expecting?"
"How does this change my loan amount, interest rate, monthly payment, cash to close, and other loan features?"
Note: You won't receive a Loan Estimate if you applied for a mortgage prior to Oct. 3, 2015, or if you're applying for a reverse mortgage. For those loans, you will receive two forms — a Good Faith Estimate (GFE) and an initial Truth-in-Lending disclosure — instead of a Loan Estimate. If you are applying for a HELOC, a manufactured housing loan that is not secured by real estate, or a loan through certain types of homebuyer assistance programs, you will not receive a GFE or a Loan Estimate, but you should receive a Truth-in-Lending disclosure.

It is for this reason that SAIA sponsored an event for delegates attending a workshop of the World Bank Group's Global Index Insurance Facility (GIIF) to a commercial farm near Delmas, in the Mpumalanga Province. At the farm, known as "Buiteplaas", delegates were afforded the opportunity to harvest fresh peas and taught how complex and precise the harvesting process is. The farm owner and various farm managers also provided the delegates with insight on the intricacies of agricultural management including the importance of soil analysis, preparation and control.
These delegates from all over Africa, including South Africa, attended a technical workshop, held in Johannesburg on 13 – 14 October 2016 on operationalising agriculture index insurance. The training provided participants with an overview of index insurance concepts and products. It also provided an opportunity to learn more about contact design, emerging regulatory issues, pricing and reinsurance, distribution options, educational requirements, as well as other innovations in the field of index insurance.
Index-based insurance products for agriculture represent an attractive approach for managing weather risk, especially for developing farmers. Programmes conducted in several developing countries have proven the feasibility and affordability of such products. Weather impacts all aspects of the agricultural supply chain, particularly in economies based on rain-fed agriculture. Even with the introduction of new crop varieties, production technology and new management practices that offer the potential to increase yields and improve resistance to weather perils, the majority of agriculture in most developing countries remains highly susceptible to extreme, uncontrollable weather events that can severely impact both quality and yield of a crop.
Such events in a South African context include insufficient rainfall and extreme temperatures. The effects of weather risk are felt most acutely by vulnerable agricultural households including developing farmers and also by many commercial farming ventures.
SAIA remains committed to the development of insurance solutions and mechanisms that are sustainable for the short-term insurance industry, and affordable and valuable to commercial farmers, especially multi-peril crop insurance and developing (smallholder) farmers. This will contribute considerably to national food stability, financial inclusion and economic transformation, including job creation.

What is your goal? Is your intent to reproduce your favorite factory load for your hunting rifle, or is it to develop a load for a new rifle of the long range persuasion? This represents opposite ends of the spectrum and for sure will dictate how much you do, or don't do, to achieve your goal. With that in mind, the purpose of this information is to look at generalizations and methods that can lead to the same results.
Focusing on long range capable loading, and not shooting equipment, it should be noted that the quality of components you use will have a direct impact on your finished product. The brass you decide to use will be of utmost importance. Let us assume everyone knows how to uniform their brass, and everyone knows skipping steps will lead to less return on your effort. Fully uniformed brass (fire forming included) will give the best results, period.
Choosing a powder or powders to test comes with lots of options. Reloading manuals can give you a great place to start. Burn rates particular to caliber and bullet weight deserve attention. Burn rates generally have a fast end and a slow end recommendation for each caliber and bullet weight. They all come with a recommended maximum, and some even give a starting load. Let's assume everyone knows ignition of the powder results in a gas that causes pressure and creates harmonics and results in velocity. Being ever cautious of perceived signs of high pressure, and monitoring resulting velocities will give you data for comparison from powder to powder.
Besides charge weight, other things you control that can influence pressure include (but are not limited to), seating depth and neck tension. The result of seating a bullet against the lands, as well as seating deep into the powder column must be understood. Neck tension can be addressed in a couple of ways, like choosing to turn necks for uniformity, and using a bushing-type die.
The quest for accuracy that must be accompanied by low extreme spreads and standard deviation varies, as we all know, from rifle to rifle for many reasons. As combustion pressure relates to harmonics, harmonics become essential in the accuracy equation as the harmonics are broadcast through the delivery system, the barrel.
I am fairly certain there exists equipment and computer-generated graphs that can map barrel harmonics. As to the affordable availability of using this technology, or being able to have personal tests done by others, I have no clue. I mention this because I quite believe if powder tests could be accompanied by harmonic maps, we would see a whole new level of accuracy to include low es and sd.
Now, finding that best load for your rifle. The purpose of this writing is to address some false generalizations, like it only takes 10 rounds to develop a load. 10 round ladder test and I'm done. This information is best used by those who already have collected obscene amounts of data and can tell you off the top of their heads what powder and how much. A 10 round ladder test and there's no need to run up your round count on your barrel, and then at a later point mention they don't even try to develop until after they have a hundred rounds down the bore to fire form the brass. Round count is round count . . .you now have 110 rounds down your tube and still need to do more testing for final load. 10 round ladder gets you very close IF you already know and anticipate results. Then there's seating depth and es/sd, but you already have a good idea how that's going to turn out as you have previously tested that and already have that data.
We recently did load development on a new rifle. We started with new brass, pulled a seating depth based on previous experience, and started loading in increments of two tenths. We started with a powder we are confident with.
Once we started shooting, everything was on the Lab Radar. We shot 3 shot groups from start to finish so we would have data to identify flat spots and nodes, the same as you do on a ladder test. We were able to see how the groups correlated to the flat spots to determine nodes. As expected, we had one low and one high node within our range of pressure. So in essence, we combined merely fire forming brass, with graphing nodes and flat spots.
By the time we approached 100 rounds, we hit the "barrel speed up" point which is another reason folks fire form brass (two birds with one stone, fire formed and speed up done). Fire formed brass gives better es/sd than new brass, so rightly so, it's necessary.
Once we hit the speed up and confirmed it with a couple more groups, we did the math and reduced loads accordingly to bring velocity back down to the node we desired. Then we confirmed our velocity and compared the group to see it was no different than the group of the same velocity at the higher charge weight before barrel speed up.
Once this was complete, we took 3 other powders to the same velocity nodes to compare them to our best groups. Even though I've recently read people state they can get any powder to shoot well, so long as it's at the same velocity node . . . well for us, that is simply not the case. It might get you close, but it's not exact. That takes me back to harmonics mapping . . . thinking different burn rates even at the same velocity may print different harmonic maps.
We shot a final 5 shot, .35 group single digit es to wrap up this project in 112 rounds and have usable data to support later projects of the same caliber. My thought? If you need to fire form your brass before you start development, why not take the data from that exercise. Unless of course you already have that data, but 100 rounds fire formed and 10 round ladder test vs. our 112 rounds to complete development is in my mind a wash. Obviously there is more than one way to get this done netting the same results.

Q: pako on client side with java on server side I'm trying to compress a Post's payload with (pako.js) in an angular application and get the answer in a Java back-end application via rest communication.
In the back-end, I write an interceptor, and try to decompress the request via GZIPInputStream. But,I always have a "Not in GZIP format" message.
The problem is probably in the encoding of the inputstream, but I can't figure out how to solve my issue. I test many solutions, but none of them work.
If I look at the byte[] of the input stream,this is the first indexes
[31, -62, -117, 8, 0, 0, 0, 0...
What am I doing wrong?
Angular's part
var stingtogzip = encodeURIComponent(JSON.stringify(criteria));
var gzipstring= pako.gzip(stingtogzip , { to : 'string'});
options.headers = new Headers();
options.headers.append("Content-Encoding","gzip");
options.body = gzipstring;
options.method = 'POST';
return this.http.request(req, options)
The interceptor code:
@Provider
public class GZIPReaderInterceptor implements ReaderInterceptor {
public Object aroundReadFrom(ReaderInterceptorContext ctx)
throws IOException {
String encoding = ctx.getHeaders().getFirst("Content-Encoding");
if (!"gzip".equalsIgnoreCase(encoding)) {
return ctx.proceed();
}
InputStream gzipInputStream = new GZIPInputStream(ctx.getInputStream());
ctx.setInputStream(gzipInputStream);
return ctx.proceed();
}
}
A: finally find the solution :
-No need for encodeURIComponent
-Uses Blob to transport the data to the server
var stingtogzip = JSON.stringify(criteria);
var gzipstring= pako.gzip(stingtogzip);
var blob = new Blob([gzipString]);
options.headers = new Headers();
options.headers.append("Content-Encoding","gzip");
options.body = blob;
options.method = 'POST';
return this.http.request(req, options)
A: In my case was necessary the Content-Type header with charset=x-user-defined-binary:
const gzip = pako.gzip(jsonString);
const blob = new Blob([gzip]);
const headers = new Headers({
'Content-Type': 'application/json; charset=x-user-defined-binary',
'Content-Encoding': 'gzip'
});
const reqOptions = new RequestOptions({ headers: headers });
return this.http.put('URL', blob, reqOptions)
.map(this.extractJSON)
.catch((err) => this.httpErrorHandler.handleError(err));

First Look: Disney+ Honors the Star Wars Legacy of Concept Art
Starting on Star Wars Day, for one week you can enjoy artistic renditions of your favorite films and series.
It all started with two droids rolling through an alien desert, a concept art painting by Ralph McQuarrie that brought George Lucas's vision for Star Wars into sharp focus.
Starting today in celebration of Star Wars Day, Disney+ will honor the artistry that began more than 40 years ago and continues with the dedicated concept artists at Lucasfilm now. In addition to the arrival of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, the series finale of Star Wars: The Clone Wars, and the premiere of Disney Gallery: The Mandalorian, the streaming service will add concept art to celebrate each chapter in the Skywalker saga and beyond. You can check out a few works of concept art that will be featured below:
Like a commemorative gallery, each film and series' artwork will be updated on May the 4th to feature its original concept paintings. From Star Wars: A New Hope to The Mandalorian, the updated art will feature work from celebrated artists such as the legendary Ralph McQuarrie and Academy Award-winning artist, author, and production designer, Doug Chiang.
On the Disney+ home screen, the animated Star Wars logo will also get an upgrade with a new animation that honors the hyperspace jump that transports us all to a galaxy far, far away.
Punch it!

HomeFootball2017 NFL Draft: Top 5 picks pull in major reactions
2017 NFL Draft: Top 5 picks pull in major reactions
First Reactions to the Top 5 Picks in the 2017 NFL Draft
Well, I am shocked. I think most people saw Myles Garrett at No. 1, but after that, things got weird quickly. I'll jump right in to my first reactions to the top five selections in the 2017 NFL Draft:
Myles Garrett, DE, Cleveland Browns: As I said, most people saw this coming. Even the Browns couldn't screw this one up. While Garrett isn't perfect, he is almost universally considered the best player available in this draft.
Garrett is the kind of talent that can tilt the entire field. Teams like UCLA refused to run anything, be it a pass or run, to Garrett's side of the field. They avoided him like the plague.
Garrett does have some things to work on, mainly in giving 100 percent on every down and chasing backs down the field, but those things will come under Hue Jackson.
Overall, this is a guy that can completely disrupt an offensive scheme. For the 1-15 Browns, it's a step in the right direction.
Mitchell Trubisky, QB, Chicago Bears: Okay, this blew my mind. First off, the Bears traded away their third overall pick, third round pick, fourth round pick, and their third round selection for 2018 to move up one slot and take Trubisky. Why. Why, why, why. The Bears must have seen something in the war room to suggest that another team was going to move up because I have a hard time believing the 49ers were going to spend their pick on a QB.
Trubisky isn't terrible. He's a pretty good player. But there are a lot of issues with taking him second overall. He struggles tremendously in the pocket when backed up on his own goal line. He likes to hold onto the ball, and it leads to many mistakes.
I hear the comparison to Cam Newton, but I would put him as more of a Geno Smith. He likes to run around a lot, he holds the ball too long, and he isn't the most consistent passer out of the pocket.
The Bears haven't had a Pro Bowl quarterback in decades, and, especially given all the other issues this team has, I'm not sure Trubisky has that kind of upside to him.
Solomon Thomas, DE, San Francisco 49ers: Thomas is the guy the Bears should have taken. The Niners have been through some nonsense over the past few years, and they've spent way too much money this offseason under new general manager John Lynch, but this move makes up for at least some of it.
Thomas is a hell of an athlete. He's an atypical defensive lineman that can be slid around the formation wherever he's needed. He's like an Aaron Donald and Justin Tuck rolled into one. The obvious choice here for the Niners.
The best part for them is they got an extra third and fourth round pick as well as a third rounder next season, and they still got a guy that they probably would have taken at second if the Bears didn't throw them an unbeatable deal. They got the picks and the player, and, for once, they don't look like the biggest mess of the offseason.
Leonard Fournette, RB, Jacksonville Jaguars: This shocked me as well. I love Leonard Fournette. I have a large soft spot for New Orleans players. I watched this guy in high school. We played him twice our senior year. He had probably 1,000 all-purpose yards over the course of those two games. It was like watching Le'Veon Bell take on middle school all-star team.
Fournette is a dominant talent. He'll run you over, out run you, stop on a dime and wait for you to pass, or drag you to the end zone with him. He has the skills to swing out and play wide receiver, and he's relatively versatile coming out of the backfield.
That being said, four is early in my opinion. I feel like he would have been a better fit at No. 8 overall to the Carolina Panthers (although I would have hated to see him go there). Fournette has a lot of durability and injury issues going back to his high school days.
But, hey, if I know Tom Coughlin, he's got something up his sleeve.
Corey Davis, WR, Tennessee Titans: Davis has to be in the conversation for best wide receiver in college football history. And while he was slated to go mid-to-late first round, the Titans have an urgent need for a wide receiver to come in and help out.
Davis is a guy that can come in and help Marcus Mariota immediately. This guy is a quarterback's best friend.
The only thing that concerns me about this pick is Davis's drops. He's always had an issue with concentration drops and running before the catch. Not a huge problem, but a red mark nonetheless.
Corey Davis
Leonard Fournett
Mitchell Trubisky
Myles Garrett
Solomon Thomas

They could teach us how to celebrate our national day (that's if we had one we could agree on) and how to promote our lamb at the same time:

Birthday bestsellers
Why anyone would want to know what the bestselling books were in the week they were born is debatable.
But if that's a burning question for you, you can put out the fire at BibliOz.com which has links to the New York Times bestseller lists of the past.
I'd heard of only four of the books listed for the week of my birth and have read just one.

Time to say good bye
The families of the men who died in the Pike River mine have held on to hope for nearly two months. Now that hope has been dashed by the news the mine will be sealed it's understandable that they're lashing out.
Anger is one of the normal and natural stages of the grieving process and they can't be blamed for feeling this way.
But those further away from the emotion, like the unions who say the decision has been made because of the cost, are making political capital out of vulnerable people's misery.
Given the millions of dollars that have already gone into attempting rescue and then recovery, it wouldn't be unreasonable if cost was a consideration. But it's the danger in the mine and safety of recovery teams which led to the decision to stop.
Families and others who talk about recovery keep saying they want to bring the bodies back, but bodies aren't designed to survive explosions and fire. Even if it was safe to go in to the mine, it is very unlikely there would be anything left to bring back.
This isn't a time for political game playing. It's a time for local leadership to help people start looking ahead and Greymouth mayor Tony Kokshoorn is showing it.
"At the end of the day we have to accept we can't get these bodies out and our men are lying up there for the foreseeable future," he says.
Recovery efforts must now centre on the living not the dead.
It is time to say good bye and to concentrate on helping the bereaved and their community.

Cornette re-books WWE in 1997 for new DVD
Posted by Darren Wood | Dec 26, 2011
When looking through the archives of World Wrestling Entertainment, it is without doubt that the year 1997 is one of the most important in its illustrious history.
During this period, WWE was a place where things were rapidly changing, the rise of "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, the situation with Shawn Michaels and Bret Hart which led up to Montreal and the ECW Invasion were just a few factors which all contributed to WWE finally moving in the right direction to once again overtake WCW in the Monday Night ratings war.
So here comes Timeline: WWE – 1997 – Jim Cornette to reconsider the big year.
With previous titles in the timeline series, this format stays the same, that being a graphic screen which details a particular date and occurrence, then Sean Oliver of Kayfabe Commentaries and his guest talk through that specific subject. To lead us through the year is Cornette, who had massive dealings with WWE and WCW, and ran his own promotion, Smokey Mountain Wrestling, for a number of years and is probably one of the best people to lead us through such a transitional period in WWE's history.
While talking about various subjects throughout the year, Cornette gives his skeptical take on the knee injury that Michaels suffered and the subsequent loss of his smile plus his opinion on the Montreal screwjob, believing the whole thing to be a complete mess. Cornette describes that he thought something screwy was going to happen for the finish, and the morning of the show he asked Vince McMahon if he had a finish set up. McMahon said he did, and Cornette said that was all he needed to know. When the bell rang, Cornette jumped up and was gone, claiming that he beat referee Earl Hebner out of the arena.
Cornette also is very critical of the Hitman for his part in this situation, believing that he was trying to force McMahon's hand in the issue. He believes Hart took himself and his status as a Canadian hero way too seriously. Cornette said very candidly that he would have respected Hart much more if he'd had just told the truth on his feelings toward Michaels.
He also can't believe that Hart actually called all the newspapers and said that he never actually lost the title, thus giving what Cornette believes to be great publicity for McMahon over the issue.
Another popular subject is Cornette's favourite person in the whole wide world (see sarcasm) Vince Russo. Back in 1997, the year Russo came into power, Cornette didn't have any serious heat with him. Russo's rise to power came after a horrible Raw in which they played a house show from Germany on TV and did live play by play.
Cornette tells how McMahon was mad the next day because the show got a lousy rating and decided that they were going to go with Russo, because Russo had been saying that they needed to get more reality based. Cornette had been telling McMahon the same thing ever since he joined the WWF full time, but while Russo's direction would be what would be famously known as "Crash TV" Cornette meant to just get away from silly gimmicks and cartoon characters and let them be the wrestlers they were.
While liking Russo at first and wanting to help him for the sake of the WWE, the relationship turned sour as Russo was not interested in listening. Cornette tells a story about Kane's debut, He came up with Hell in Cell and the idea of Kane ripping the door of the cell. McMahon decided he wanted Kane vs. Undertaker for WrestleMania, which was five months away. Cornette lets us know that Russo wanted to have Kane chokeslam Undertaker through the announce table the next night. Cornette told Russo that it was too soon, but Russo's answer was, "Well, we can do something else later."
Cornette couldn't believe what he was hearing and was eventually removed from creative toward the end of the year, which he was fine with, because he was sick to death of Russo by then. Cornette claims McMahon was taking two of Russo's 100 idea and tweaking them so they'd work, but he was hearing the other 98 of them and wanting to kill Russo.
Obviously because this is Jim Cornette going through the year on this DVD, it will come as no surprise that this title is long, clocking in at 3 hours and 10 minutes, this isn't a bad thing though, no it's a good thing, meaning you get incredible value for your money.
In a really interesting and unique inclusion to the overall content on this title, Cornette actually brought his agent book with him detailing all the live events that happened at that time. There's a record of where they were, how many people were there, and how much they drew. It's such a useful detail and really puts into perspective how the WWE was doing at this time.
Overall it's another thumbs up from Kayfabe Commentaries for this DVD, an incredibly detailed title which gives you a nice picture of what the WWE was going through at this time. Anything with Cornette on is going to be entertaining and full of useful information, and this is no different.

A new trend emerged when iPhone X was released. Everyone has been trying to hack Face ID to disprove Apple's security claims. You can find hours of content on YouTube that show individuals trying different ways to trick Face ID into either not opening for the owner or opening for someone else entirely.
Very few people have succeeded in tricking the Face ID. Several people have tried different levels of makeup to try to get the phones to not unlock for their owners. There are even a handful of instances where drag queens test out the technology with little success tricking the software. For almost all of the users, makeup did not affect Face ID in recognizing the user and unlocking for them. And if it did, it was inconsistent and would eventually unlock. Which is great because most people don't wear makeup every day or even the same way for two days in a row. This is understandable because Face ID uses a type of 3D photo scanning that Apple calls the TrueDepth sensor that logs a 3D image of your face.
Apple says they worked with professional makeup artists and mask makers to assure that Face ID would not be fooled by heavy makeup and masks. But Bkav, a Vietnamese security company, claims to have successfully hacked Apple's Face ID with a 3D-printed mask with a silicone nose. They are the first company to have video evidence of the iPhone X unlocking for an artificial face. There are some that believe that Face Id could have been set up to recognize the mask initially and that would then guarantee the actual human face would be recognized.
Regardless whether or not Bkav succeeded in fooling Face ID without any crazy tricks or workarounds they didn't tell us about, Face ID is still the most secure personal facial recognition software. It's not fooled by pictures like Microsoft and Samsung's software.

Q: Implementing Google Analytics 2 in IOS 6 While updating an app to ios 6, I found google analytics also needs update.
Following this method, I discovered it needs a ViewController which extends GAITrackedViewController class
https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/collection/ios/v2/
The guide mentions the following code in ViewDidLoad method, whereas I want it in some specific method. It doesn't seems to work. Kindly advise.
self.trackedViewName = @"My App";
A: Using GAITrackedViewController means giving up control over when [tracker trackView:viewName] gets called. Setting the trackedViewName allows GAITrackedViewController to call [tracker trackView:self.trackedViewName] whenever it wants (presumably in viewDidAppear).
Also, GAITrackedViewController uses a KVO on this property, so view tracking doesn't get turned on until self.trackedViewName = @"view name" is performed.
Calling this in viewDidLoad assures that it's setup correctly by the time the first viewDidAppear gets called.

The state-controlled hydropower group Hidroelectrica estimates its revenues will decrease by 3.5% y/y to RON3.2bn (EUR683m) this year, according to a company report quoted by the local media. Still, the country's biggest hydropower generator plans to invest more than EUR105m in 2018. Hidroelectrica aims to make RON937.2m gross profit, which is almost twice lower on the year. The main factor behind the profit drop is a notable 32.0% y/y increase of expenses, up to RON2.3bn, triggered by some more significant provisioning expenses after the company gave up a few old investment projects and over higher wage expenses. In addition, Hidroelectrica plans to increase staff by 6.5% to about 3,600 employees this year. Total electricity generation estimated for this year exceed 16.6 TWh, more than around 16.0 TWh in 2017.
Hidroelectrica is Romania's biggest electricity producer with 6,444 MW installed capacity. The state is the company's majority shareholder and has agreed on its privatization with the IFIs. The initial plan was to sell 15% of the company's shares on the Bucharest Stock Exchange and issue GDRs on a foreign market. The energy ministry announced last year the change of the privatization strategy and said it would initiate a 10% IPO, followed by another 5% sale later. Yet, the new energy minister considers that HIdroelectrica is still not ready to go public and recently announced that the company needs further consolidation.

Tobacco is a known risk factor for the misuse of prescription opioids. In addition, concurrent use of opioids and sedative-hypnotics is a risk factor for opioid overdose or addiction. In an American Journal on Addictions study, tobacco users were more likely to receive prescriptions for opioid analgesics with muscle relaxants and/or benzodiazepines than people who did not use tobacco.
The findings, which come from an annual survey of visits to office-based physicians in outpatient settings in the United States, suggest that appropriate caution should be exercised while co-prescribing opioid analgesics with muscle relaxants and/or benzodiazepines among tobacco users to prevent prescription drug addiction.

Kids who are picked on by their peers may see lasting effects on their physical and mental well-being � especially if the bullying is allowed to persist for years, a new study suggests.
Kids who were bullied at a younger age but saw the problem fade tended to do better. But they were still worse off than their peers who�d never been victimized.
The findings are based on nearly 4,300 children from three U.S. cities who were surveyed in fifth, seventh and 10th grades � or roughly the ages of 10, 12 and 15. Overall, 30 percent said they were being regularly bullied on at least one survey.
In general, Bogart�s team found, kids who were bullied reported more physical problems � difficulty playing sports, running or doing normal �kid things� � than their peers. They also had more depression symptoms and lower self-esteem.
The outlook was worst for the 3 percent to 4 percent of kids who were continually bullied over time. By 10th grade, 45 percent of teens who�d been chronically victimized fell into the category of �low� mental well-being.
That compared with 31 percent of kids who reported current bullying only, and 12 percent of those who�d been bullied in the past only. Of students who�d never been regularly picked on, just 6 percent scored that low in psychological well-being.
The findings cannot prove that bullying caused kids� mental and physical woes, Bogart said.
But, she added, her team accounted for some other factors that can affect kids� odds of being bullied and their health, such as obesity and chronic illnesses. They also factored in family income and kids� race, gender and sexual orientation.
Plus, there is plenty of research pointing to the ill effects of bullying � and this study offers more evidence, according to David Finkelhor, who directs the Crimes Against Children Research Center at the University of New Hampshire, in Durham.
The study, published online Feb. 17 in Pediatrics, �adds one more element to the growing priority of preventing peer victimization and helping those affected by it,� said Finkelhor. He was not involved in the research.
She noted that most states now require schools to have anti-bullying policies. The good news, Finkelhor said, is that prevention programs are expanding �rapidly� in U.S. schools.
As for what parents can do, Bogart said they can look for signs their child is being bullied. That includes signs of physical bullying, like cuts and bruises � and subtler signals, such as acting withdrawn or not wanting to go to school.
But it�s also important that kids learn not to be silent bystanders to bullying, Bogart said. Both schools and parents, she noted, can teach children to speak up when they see a classmate being picked on.

Lloyd of Gamebooks: I've done it again!
Sorry everyone, I pressed publish again, when I meant to press save. At least you know that I have stuff ready to release and that I'm not making it up.
I'll post about the Fabled Lands setting next Sunday and hopefully, by then, I'll stop pressing the publish button. Have a good week.
He's not happy because he can't read it now.
Looking forward to your Fabled Lands review and Zagor story! Nice pic by the way - one of my favourites of Russ Nicholson's from the War-Torn Kingdom. "By the Tentacles of Tantalon!"

GOV. NEIL ABERCROMBIE HAS SIGNED THE 2013 Hawai`i Ocean Resources Management Plan, which brings county, state and federal partners together to ensure the sustainable use and conservation of Hawai`i's ocean and coastal resources for current and future generations.
"It is essential that government agencies at all levels work together to address Hawai`i's resource challenges," Gov. Abercrombie said. "Our lives are intertwined with the natural resources of these islands, from the local economy to our island way of life. This plan provides a clear roadmap for achieving a necessary balance between use and preservation."

The plan was developed with the participation of county, state and federal agencies responsible for ocean and coastal resources. It identifies 11 management priorities for the next five years and pathways for achieving goals:
Appropriate Coastal Development – "addresses issues … including coastal hazards (including sea level rise), historic resources, coastal ecosystems and Hawai`i's economy for current and future generations;"
Management of Coastal Hazards – lists disaster avoidance measures including "institutional and governmental measures to reduce risks from coastal hazards;"
Watershed Management – focuses on "the health of the water supply, allowing for water recharge, and preserving good water quantity entails taking care of the watersheds;"
Marine Resources – protection focuses on control of marine debris and aquatic invasive species;
Coral Reef – focuses on threats such as land-based sources of pollution, including sediment, nutrients, cesspools, sewer treatment plant overflow, road run-off, grounded vessels and climate change;
Ocean Economy – "Hawai`i's economy is dependent on the health of the ocean;"
Cultural Heritage of the Ocean – focuses on Native Hawaiian access and gathering rights as "protected by state laws and by the State of Hawai'i constitution. These laws also require all state and county agencies to affirmatively protect and enforce these rights;"
Training, Education and Awareness – considers classes in environmental literacy, public education and outreach materials and programs and youth are involved in ocean resource management;
Collaboration and Conflict Resolution – suggests increasing partnerships and collaborations for effective and efficient conservation efforts in the Hawaiian Islands;
Community and Place-Based Ocean Management Projects – active involvement of community members who work to restore part of an ecosystem and begin to monitor and watch that ecosystem. The report lists Honu`apo Bay in Ka`u as an example;
National Ocean Policy and Pacific Regional Ocean Initiatives – focuses on improving spatial information on the condition of the oceans and creating a marine spatial plan for the Pacific Islands Region.
The priorities are based on community outreach conducted in all four counties through public meetings, oral and written submissions, and social media.

Resources Management Plan.
"The 11 management priorities address resource management challenges that can only be achieved through a statewide, coordinated effort among various government and community partners," said Jesse Souki, director of the state Office of Planning. "It addresses some of the greatest challenges of our time, including the impacts of climate change and balancing economic, cultural and environmental considerations to ensure sustainable stewardship of our resources."
Tracking the success of the plan will be coordinated with the state Office of Information Management and Technology to take advantage of the state's data.hawaii.gov portal.
The Office of Planning is responsible for coordinating the periodic update of the plan pursuant to Hawai`i Revised Statutes sections 205A-62 and 225M-2(b)(6). The project leverages federal funding through the Hawai`i Coastal Zone Management Program.

ORGANIZERS OF THE PROPOSED PAHALA LEARNING ACADEMY plan to update prospective parents on the their plans at a spaghetti dinner tomorrow at 4 p.m. at the Pahala Hongwanji campus. One of the organizers, Ross Rammelmeyer, said this morning that the group will be working toward an online learning and mentoring center to begin to establish a Learning Academy somewhere in Ka`u.
Hawai`i Academy of Arts & Science withdrew its proposal yesterday to make Pahala Hongwanji one of its satellites. Rammelmeyer said there could be other options of a sponsoring institution for the parents wanting a charter school in Ka`u.
Steve Hirakami, director of HAAS, who attended the State Public Charter School Commission's committee meeting yesterday, said that he didn't think the campus could receive an occupancy permit for the school from the county for the fall session but is still interested reaching out to Ka`u in the future. "I'll be back," he told the committee meetings.
Hirakami told The Ka`u Calendar this morning that charter schools and public schools can work side by side in a community and partner with one another. He said Ka`u is a community where that could happen as it has in Pahoa where HAAS is based.

Eshiamboko Primary School
Project Type: Rainwater Catchment
Project Phase: In Service - Aug 2018
Functionality Status: Low/No Water or Mechanical Breakdown
Current Status: Low/No Water or Mechanical Breakdown
We are actively working with this community to resolve water service issues. We respond quickly to provide support and then develop a plan with the community for resolving issues. Mechanical breakdowns are typically resolved quickly, whereas water availability or quality issues (seasonal drought, new contamination, etc) are often more complex and may take more time. We will update the project status when these issues are resolved.
03/19/2021 — Low/No Water or Mechanical Breakdown
Rainwater Catchment
Rainwater is collected off strategic areas of a roof, enters a custom guttering system (which filters out debris) and leads to a storage tank. Tanks can vary in sizes and are determined by population and average rainfall patterns. Water can be stored for months, is easily treated in the tank, and is accessible through taps. These projects are implemented at schools with proper roof lines and gutter systems to make them successful.
Handwashing Stations
Permanent handwashing stations encourage permanent handwashing habits.
Handwashing with soap at critical times reduces diarrheal disease by more than 40%. All of our projects include hygiene and sanitation training, which (among many things) empowers communities to build their own handwashing stations. When we work at schools, we install permanent handwashing stations and work with the school to make sure they are constantly supplied with soap.
Ventilated Improved Pit (VIP) Latrines
Toilets designed to limit smell & flies encourage proper, safe and secure bathroom use.
Proper hygiene and sanitation facilities go hand-in-hand with access to clean, reliable water. Two major challenges with sanitation facilities are flies and smell.
A VIP latrine is a pit latrine containing a vent pipe fitted to the pit and a screen at the pipe opening. The vent pipe carries smell outside and screens keep flies out/in.
Report Submitted by Christine Luvandwa, Deputy Director
Christine received a community development degree from Moi University in Eldoret, Kenya. Even while completing her degree, she was volunteering in the water sector. When she graduated, she started putting her expertise to work full-time. Christine shares, "The appreciation seen through people's smiles gives me the motivation to move on to another community."
Christine has been a Deputy Director since 2017, with WeWaSaFo, The Water Project's trusted partner in our Western Kenya WaSH Program.
Report Submitted by
Christine Luvandwa, Deputy Director
A normal day at Eshiamboko Primary School starts as early as 6:30am when the first students arrive. They're supposed to be there by 7am for morning study hall. After, they work together to complete the cleaning chores on their roster. There are occasional tea breaks until an hour's lunch break before afternoon classes. The final hour of the school day is spent split up between sports and different interest clubs.
There are currently 595 students enrolled who are taught by 17 teachers. The school employs four support staff to make sure daily activities are running smoothly.
The school doesn't have a reliable source of water. Students here are often absent because of waterborne diseases.
It has a 4,500-liter plastic tank that's reserved for the kitchen. Students are asked to carry water from home to school every single morning. Since students are coming from different places, there's no way to point out one water source and ascertain the quality of their water.
When this water's used up, students have to go back out in search of more. Teachers ask that they walk a little over one kilometer to get clean water from a protected spring. This is a tiring task, not to mention the water can be contaminated after the long walk with uncovered containers.
"I have worked in this school for over 10 years now, and I have seen the different headteachers usually transferred in and out of this school strive to try and achieve some level of hygiene, with some success," Mama Sephina, the school cook, told us.
"This has been a challenge since the school is on rocky grounds (so it's hard to build new pit latrines), and the students suffer most since they have to bring water from home. This limits us in terms of cleanliness, as we are forced to use as little water as possible in order to avoid burdening the pupils. We hardly wash our hands here, so typhoid has been a nuisance we have been living with for a long time."
Here's what we're going to do about it:
Training will be held for two days. The facilitator will use PHAST (participatory hygiene and sanitation transformation), ABCD (asset-based community development), CTC (child to child), lectures, group discussions, and handouts to teach health topics and ways to promote good practices within the school. The CTC method will prepare students to lead other students into healthy habits, as well as kickstart a CTC club for the school.
Hand-Washing Stations
This CTC club will oversee the new facilities, such as hand-washing stations, and make sure they are kept clean and in working condition. The two hand-washing stations will be delivered to the school, and the club will fill them with water on a daily basis and make sure there is always a cleaning agent such as soap or ash.
VIP Latrines
Two triple-door latrines will be constructed with local materials that the school will help gather. And with a new source of water on school grounds, students and staff should have enough to keep these new latrines clean.
Rainwater Catchment Tank
A 50,000-liter rainwater catchment tank will help alleviate the water crisis at this school. The school will also help gather the needed materials such as sand, rocks, and water from the spring for mixing cement. Once finished, this tank can begin catching rainfall that will be used by the school's students and staff.
We and the school strongly believe that with this assistance, standards will significantly improve. These higher standards will translate to better academic performance!

08/23/2018: Eshiamboko Primary School Rainwater Tank Complete
A new rainwater catchment system was built! Eshiamboko Primary School in Kenya now has a new source of safe, clean water thanks to your support. Handwashing stations were installed so that students can clean up after using their new latrines, and students and staff have received training in sanitation and hygiene.
Hygiene and sanitation training was planned with the help of the headteacher, who had a close look at the examination schedule and closure dates to find a time suitable for us. With a date set, he was also able to recruit 20 participants comprised of representatives from class three to class seven. It was a hot day outside, but the shade and open windows in the classroom helped keep all of us comfortable.
We covered several topics, including bathing, oral hygiene, and handwashing with soap as a barrier from germs; operation and maintenance of the new facilities, with each person understanding their role for long-lasting clean water and good health. Students liked how we used lots of pictures and demonstrations to teach these things and even more.
The students in attendance are expected to share what they learned both at school and at home. They have formed a new student health club that will be a great catalyst for sharing health information. They're excited because they only had one active club at the time.
"I am happy you made time for us to learn things about hygiene and sanitation, for we have no one else to teach us all this," student Mishell Atieno said.
"I have learned the importance of keeping my environment clean. I have learned that my health starts from the hands and that I need to keep my things in order. I have something to also teach my friends in class and those at home who are not from this school."
Pupils can now enjoy washing their hands with soap thanks to the two handwashing stations that were delivered to their school. These new handwashing opportunities will help reduce cases of hygiene-related illness. The training on hygiene has motivated these students to share what they've learned both with their peers at school and families at home.
This project funded the installation of six new ventilated improved pit (VIP) latrines. All of these new latrines have cement floors that are easy to use and clean. And with a rainwater catchment tank, there should be enough water to keep them clean all the time.
Construction for this 50,000-liter rainwater catchment tank was successful!
Parents, staff, and students helped our artisans gather everything needed for construction. Getting the water needed for mixing cement was a challenge. It was a 20-minute walk to the nearest source, and students worked tirelessly helped our artisans get what they needed. All the while, women cooked meals for the artisans, and the school provided accommodations for the artisans during their work. Local men and women helped our artisans with their manual labor, too.
Students fetching water to mix cement.
The process officially began with our staff and school administration looking around the school compound to try and determine the best location for a new rainwater catchment tank. This needed to be the best site with good, clean roofing to catch the rainwater. Then, we cleared the site: excavating the soil within the required measurements to make level ground for the tank foundation. The foundation was cast by laying stones on a level ground and then reinforcing it using steel, concrete and waterproof cement.
Both the drawing pipe as well as the washout pipe were affixed as the foundation was lain. The wall was built with ferro-cement techniques through six layers. The inner wall was plastered while rough casting was done on the outer part.
Dome construction could begin after the superstructure had been given enough time to settle. The manhole cover was fitted, inlet pipes were connected to the roof gutters, inlet screens, ventilation pipes (breathers) and overflow pipes were all done to standard.
Getting ready to install the gutter system.
The catchment area was dug, plastered, and a staircase installed.
Once finished, the tank was given three weeks to undergo complete curing before it was cleaned and handed over to Eshiamboko Primary School, though we will continue to offer them unmatchable support as a part of our monitoring and maintenance program.
"We have had challenges in the past with water and sanitation, and thus many cases of school absenteeism. The children were already used to walking all the way to the spring to get water, and as teachers, we realized that this was taking up so much of their time. The containers they were using were not often cleaned, and so sometimes we drank the water and hoped we would not fall sick," remembered Phanice Atillah.
"This project is now a new beginning for us, improvement in hygiene and sanitation and healthy pupils and staff. We are very happy, we thank God for directing you to our school."
04/27/2018: Eshiamboko Primary School Project Underway
A severe clean water shortage at Eshiamboko Primary School drains students' time, energy, and health. Thanks to your generosity, we're working to install a clean water point and much more.
Get to know your school through the introduction and pictures we've posted, and read about this water, sanitation and hygiene project. We look forward to reaching out with more good news!
Giving Update: Eshiamboko Primary School
A year ago, your generous donation helped Eshiamboko Primary School in Kenya access clean water – creating a life-changing moment for Eunice Ndeta. Thank you!
There's an incredible community of monthly donors who have come alongside you in supporting clean water in Eshiamboko Primary School.
This giving community supports ongoing sustainability programs that help Eshiamboko Primary School maintain access to safe, reliable water. Together, they keep The Water Promise.
The pupils and staff at Eshiamboko Primary School can now access clean and safe water right inside their school compound, thanks to the rain tank that was installed there last year. They told us how they hardly get sick anymore, and this has improved their wellbeing and their performance in class too.
The student health club training was not in vain as the pupils wash their hands with soap after using the latrines and their hygienic standards have also improved. Both students and staff are very appreciative of the WaSH project that was implemented in the school. They clean their rain tank frequently and the area surrounding the tank is also clean.
"One of the major challenges that faced the school before was lack of water in the school compound," explained teacher Mr. Elphas Olocho.
"But, since the rainwater harvesting tank was constructed, this problem has been solved. We no longer interrupt classes to ask pupils to go and fetch water 2 kilometers away, which has helped in time management. The pupils are more healthy and they also have sufficient time to study."
Mr. Elphas Olocho at the rain tank
One of those pupils is 14-year-old Eunice Ndeta, who was all smiles at the rain tank on the day of our visit.
Field Officer Georgina Kamau with student Eunice Ndeta at the rain tank
"We used to carry water from home every morning and we could get tired even before we started our classes," she said.
"The installed tank has solved this problem since the water is available in the tank which is used for cleaning and is safe for drinking and cooking too."
Eunice takes a drink from the rain tank
Navigating through intense dry spells, performing preventative maintenance, conducting quality repairs when needed and continuing to assist community leaders to manage water points are all normal parts of keeping projects sustainable. The Water Promise community supports ongoing sustainability programs that help Eshiamboko Primary School maintain access to safe, reliable water.
The most impactful way to continue your support of Eshiamboko Primary School – and hundreds of other places just like this – is by joining our community of monthly givers.

Another collection with a 70s inspiration was on the runway of Miu Miu. Miuccia Prada who is never afraid of bold colours and shapes, designed a lot of maxi coats in different colours from an emerald green to purple and brick red and also fit and flare jackets for this pre-fall collection. There was also an effect of Renaissance in the collection with the heavy use of lace, the boy shorts and quirky jabot blouses. The outfits were combined with velvet boots and shoes and knee high socks in again a vide variety of colours.

"Yeah, Cap'n?" Starsky responded, peeking in at Dobey's door.
"Come in here for a minute." Dobey glanced up at him, then returned to his paperwork until Starsky had shut the door and flopped into a chair. "You look terrible," he began, setting aside some papers.
Starsky sighed, not trying to hide his impatience. "That's what you called me in here for, Cap'n?" he asked.
Dobey gave him a tolerant look. "No, I called you in here to ask you how Hutch was doing."
Starsky's frown softened at the mention of his partner. "Well, I haven't really talked to him much, he's mostly been sleepin'. I just wake him up every once in a while to make sure he eats. I think he should be ready to come back in a couple of days, though."
Dobey was studying him now and Starsky squirmed under the scrutiny. "You look like you could use some sleep yourself. You didn't have to come in for duty today, you know."
Starsky smiled humorlessly. "Guess I'm just restless."
Dobey eyed him skeptically, not believing a word of it. "Yeah, well, I want you to take off early and go get some rest. You're no good to anybody if you fall flat on your face from exhaustion."
This time there was some warmth in the tired smile. "Thanks, Cap'n." He got up to leave. "But first I'm gonna stop by and check on Hutch." He disappeared before Dobey could respond. Not that the Captain would have tried. He had learned a long time ago that nothing could come between those two, including him. He shook his head at the closed door and returned to his work.
Starsky pulled up behind the familiar brown LTD and grabbed the bag of groceries he'd picked up on the way, before trudging up the walk to Hutch's place. Four days ago he had bounded up that same walk looking for Hutch, not really worried yet about his absence, thinking as Huggy had that it was some 'foxy lady'. Then he had found Hutch's gun, and the first thread began to unravel. Even when he'd found his partner in that alley, dirty and strung-out, hardly recognizing him... Starsky stopped and shut his eyes at the memory. He had been reluctant to leave Hutch each night since, concerned about his friend but also dreading the long, lonely nights at his place. Hutch wasn't the only one who would have bad dreams about the past week. Starsky shrugged it off and walked to the door.
He didn't bother to knock, letting himself in with the spare key so he wouldn't disturb Hutch. He had come in the same way the day before to find his partner sitting slumped over the kitchen table, fast asleep, his head almost resting on the sandwich Starsky had made for him earlier. Starsky had awakened him to make him eat, then put him to bed, Hutch never fully conscious during the whole process. This time his partner was stretched out asleep on the sofa, his guitar propped up beside him. His battered face still made Starsky wince, bringing back the memories all over again. He slid past Hutch quietly, going into the kitchen to put the food away and to try to fix something both of them liked.
When he came out, Hutch was sitting up and looking around groggily. He started at Starsky's entrance, his hand automatically moving to his side, reaching for his absent gun. Starsky pretended not to notice, summoning up a weary smile instead.
"Hey, Sleepin' Beauty wakes up at last." He set a plate of pasta in front of Hutch with an exaggerated flourish.
Hutch looked at the food and then at Starsky as slow recognition dawned. The lean shoulders relaxed. "Hi." He yawned and picked up the food.
"Hi, yourself." Starsky sat back in an easy chair with his own plate and began to eat.
Hutch looked up after a moment. "Hey, this is pretty good, partner."
Starsky thought for a split second about how much he enjoyed that title. "Did you ever doubt it?" he teased lightly.
"Yeah, well, some of the stuff you eat they wouldn't feed to animals in a zoo." Hutch was obviously still worn out, but it was encouraging that he wanted to spar. Starsky mustered the energy to bite back.
"You're just jealous," he muttered in mock disgust.
Hutch caught something in the comment that he didn't recognize, and he gave Starsky a quick, unnoticed glance. "How are things down at the precinct?" he asked after a moment, finishing the last bite of his dinner.
"Oh, terrific," Starsky said, with a decided lack of enthusiasm. "The usual collection of two-bit thieves, hookers, junkies..." He stopped, stricken. "I...I mean...."
Hutch tensed a little at the reminder, but relaxed again just as quickly. He gave his partner a lopsided smile. "Starsk, it's okay." He sighed. "It's not like I had any choice, right? Jeannie's fine, and thanks to you and Captain Dobey, nobody else will know about it, so as far as I'm concerned, the matter's closed. Time to get on with life." He knew it wasn't that simple; the nightmares were fading, but slowly, as was his body's weakness, even though he himself couldn't consciously remember too much of the past week. There had been the voice that kept at him until he was ready to say anything to make the craving go away, the knowledge that he had to flee or he would die, and reflex lashing out and running, running until his body gave up.
But then, suddenly, there had been help and warmth and safety. That was Starsky, he had known it somehow even without recognizing him. Not to be alone anymore, to have someone to hold on to and holding on to him had made it bearable, kept him sane. And Starsky had stuck with him unwaveringly, cleaning up after him, comforting him, accepting Hutch's periodic flashes of anger. Looking at his partner now, Hutch considered for the first time what the ordeal had been like for Starsky. People who didn't know him very well often took his flippancy for shallowness or callous disregard, but Hutch knew better. In his own way, Starsky had suffered just as much in those two days as his partner had. And while Hutch knew he would get through this with Starsky's help, he wondered if his friend had the same assurance.
"You okay?" Hutch asked softly.
Starsky nodded silently, eyes fixed on his plate.
Hutch wasn't buying it. "When was the last time you got some sleep, Starsk?" he asked abruptly. "You look terrible."
Starsky grimaced. "Everyone keeps tellin' me that today."
"That's because it's true," Hutch returned reasonably.
"Yeah, well, I haven't been sleepin' too well." He shifted uncomfortably in the chair.
Hutch leaned forward, frowning. "Why not?"
Starsky murmured something into his food that Hutch couldn't catch.
"Nightmares, okay?" Starsky snapped. "I have these nightmares."
Hutch paused, assimilating that. He looked up intently at Starsky. "About...me? And...?" He didn't need to say it.
"Yeah." This time so quiet, Hutch could barely hear him.
Hutch's face softened in comprehension. "Starsk... I'm fine now. Or at least I'm getting there, thanks to you. If you hadn't have done what you did for me..." Starsky made a dismissive gesture but Hutch grabbed his arm and made his partner face him, see how serious he was. "If you hadn't looked out for me and helped me through that...hell," his voice trembled a little at the still-vibrant emotions, "I probably would've killed myself. Or at best, the shrinks at Parker Center would have had a field day with me and kept me off the streets permanently. In any case, I wouldn't have made it without you." His eyes didn't waver as they looked into his friend's face. More than anything, he wanted Starsky to realize how much what he had done had meant to Hutch.
Starsky stared at him for a moment, then gave a slight nod. Acknowledgement and thanks; Hutch understood.
In the ensuing silence, Hutch noted again the circles under his partner's eyes and the lines of strain and fatigue in his face. Starsky was truly exhausted and in no condition to be having a serious discussion. Nor, for that matter, he thought wryly, am I. He stood up and strode over to the closet to get out some bedding which he handed wordlessly to Starsky.
"You're spending the night. You're about to fall over, you're so tired, and I don't want you to drive home like that." He stopped to contemplate his friend. Besides, I think you'll sleep easier if I'm nearby and you don't have to worry about me.
Starsky gave a slight, embarrassed smile; he knew what his partner was thinking. The blond grinned back, unashamedly and fondly. After what the two of them had shared in the past week, what was a little irrational fear among friends? He had to admit that he, too, would sleep better with his friend there. He helped Starsky make up the couch, then made sure his partner went to bed over half-hearted protests that he could take care of himself. Hutch turned off the living room lights, then paused in the doorway to look back at the dark shape stretched out on the couch, chest already beginning to rise and fall in the rhythm of sleep. Yeah, buddy, I know you can take care of yourself, but sometimes we all need someone else and that's why we have each other. Tonight it's my turn. He grinned and shook his head as the dark figure began to snore. But only for tonight. Still smiling, he went off to go to bed.

Land Exploration – Golly, what a day!
I arrived at Tokyo Disneyland a full 20 minutes before it opened, so that I would be one of the first people in the gates, apparently that was the plan for everyone else coming to the park today as well. Yesterday I got there about 20 minutes after the park opened and walked right in, today I had to wait in a long line and probably didn't get into the gates until about 8:10. So, what I'm saying is sometimes it pays to be late.
First thing I noticed about walking into Disneyland is that their "Main Street" area is quite a bit different, it is a covered indoor area that still looks like Main Street but is called the World Bazaar. Paris has something similar in that they have covered passageways on either side of Main Street that can protect you from the weather as you move from shop to shop. It must be something they do in climates that aren't known for being sunny like California and Florida. I really like the idea and thinks it's pretty cute too.
Other than that, the layout of this Disneyland is pretty much similar to the other Disney parks, with the hub and the different lands expanding from there.
Today I used the Guest Assistance Card. The way this works is that you go to someone working at the ride you want to go on and ask to use the card. They will usually find someone that speaks at least some English to help you, and that person will ask you a few questions. The questions usually are to make sure you'll be able to walk into the ride, get onto the ride, and be able to walk out if the ride breaks down. After you've said you're good on all those points they'll fill out the card and give you a return time based on the length of the line.
The lines at Disneyland Tokyo are all really long, so even with the card I needed to be selective about which rides I chose to go on. And first on my hit list was Pooh's Hunny Hunt! After getting my return time, I stopped by to visit my girl Snow White on her Scary Adventure.
I was also able to catch Mickey's Philharmagic. It was pretty fun to get to watch this done Japanese! I love hearing Disney classics that I love sung in other languages! Also, it was much more 4D then I remember the one on Florida being. This one pumped scent into the room and sprays you with water. Gotta say, the apple pie smelled great!
Then it was back to Pooh's Hunny Hunt, so cute! This is trackless ride that takes you through Winnie the Pooh stories. The line in here is super cute, you're surrounded by giant book pages of the Pooh stories, including my personal favorite, the one where Pooh gets stuck in the door to Rabbit's house after eating too much honey. I've felt that way before, but from pizza instead of honey. The ride itself is really adorable!
As you exit the ride, you can either go out through the gift shop, or through a replica of Christopher Robin's room. I really enjoyed the detail in this room, and it somehow made everything even sweeter.
From there I swung by ToonTown for a few minutes. Long enough to realize that it is laid out opposite of the one in California, and to see Goofy being all… well, goofy… with the crowd of visitors around him.
I next headed to Tomorrowland, I wanted to ride on Monsters Inc. Ride and Go Seek. I would have like to go on all the rides, but with the lines I decided it was more important to go on a ride that we don't have in the states. As point of reference in line length, in California the longest wait time I've ever seen for Buzz Lightyear's Astro Blaster is 20 minutes, here the line was 90 minutes!
I had some time to waste before my return time so I headed to the Sweetheart Café to get a snack. I got a sweet red been filled pastry that looked like a dog bone, and the adorable Mike Wazowski melon bun, and an apple juice (because healthy). The red bean pastry was a lot sweeter than I expected. The Mike Wazowski melon bun was amazing! Not too sweet, and just a slight cantaloupe flavor. Ten out of ten, would recommend!
I also got to catch some of the Frozen parade while I snacked.
Monsters Inc. Ride and Go Seek is a super fun ride! You have a flashlight and need to find monsters throughout the ride who are hiding. When you shine the light on their helmets, they pop out from wherever they're are. A sweet, fun ride.
Next, I went to Pirates of the Caribbean. It was classic Pirates, and the only bilingual ride I've been on. As always, I loved it!
I was delighted to discover that they have a small New Orleans area here! It isn't on the map, it's just part of Adventure Land. New Orleans is my favorite area just to hang out in at Disneyland in California, so it was great to have that little bit of it here!
Somehow when I tried to find Big Thunder Mountain I ended up back in Fantasyland. Look, we've talked about this! I'm not always great at maps. But I am good at matching thread color to fabric, we all have are strengths!
Since I was in Fantasyland anyway, I decided to go on Peter Pan's Flight. The other day someone said that they don't understand why the Peter Pan ride is so popular, and I thought "Because you're flying!" I mean, I know that's why I love it! At the beginning of the ride you fly over a London cityscape, and I realized that I had just been there last week, so weird!
Outside of Peter Pan, I saw three Cast Members pouring over a map of the park with a little girl. So sweet!
At this point, I needed to get something more substantial to eat, and headed over to the Queen of Hearts Banquet Hall for an adorable lunch in an amazing setting.
I then found my way to Big Thunder, only to find that it had been shut down. I mean, it shouldn't be a surprise, I swear that ride is broken down half the time. But even when it's broke, it's still purty.
I decided that I needed some more Little Green Men dumplings for dessert today. Don't judge me! They are so good! After a little internet research, I found that Softlanding in Tomorrowland had them. (At Softlanding you can also get milk flavored ice cream, just thought that was interesting.) When I got there, I was surprised to find that they had Stormtrooper dumplings instead! They are basically the same, except the chocolate one had been replaced with caramel.
I did a little bit of shopping at the World Bazaar, and finally decided to call it a day. Although I didn't get to go on as many rides as I sometimes do, I really enjoyed having time to just stroll through the park or sit and people watch for a while. It was a truly lovely day!

I am springing my very best orchid picture on you right away.
The orchid garden is an extremely cool place up in Colonia Santo Domingo, the fashionable neighborhood.
Once you turn off the street at the sign, you must cross this bridge over the waterway that runs down along the side of the building. This is a view back toward that foot bridge.
You knock on the door and wait for Julio, the gardener, to answer. He will collect 20 pesos apiece and give you a tour.
The orchid garden is located in a 200-year-old tannery building.
The orchid family is huge and diverse. Many are epiphytes, deriving their moisture and nutrients from their surroundings and growing on other plants.
Here they are grown wired onto these chunks of wood . . .
or in these hanging, wooden baskets.
There will be different species blooming at different times throughout the year here, according to Julio.
There were not actually a lot of orchids blooming right now.
However, I will certainly be checking back regularly to see others as they come along. . .
The brains of the cacti world. . . . .
I have a piece of Mexican candy for every child who can locate the dog hidden in this picture.
Orchids are fantastic things, aren't they? Tuffy P grows a number of them here at Anchovy World Headquarters. We lost one this year that used to be her mom's. It must have been 25 years old and for many years it seemed to be in almost constant bloom.
I have seen that large brown dog before, in an earlier entry. The plant shadows make good camouflage.
If correct, I request that you give the mentioned candy to the next Mexican child you see.
Solipsist,yes aren't we all? Anyone who claims otherwise is most likely delusional.
Regards from North Chattanooga,where it is too hot for Bushmills, black label or otherwise.
You got it, Felix. The next Mexican child that I see when I have a piece of candy in my pocket is a lucky Mexican child.
They are absolutely fascinating plants, Mr. Anchovy.
My own rainy season is coming soon, Sheila. You can enjoy the dryness vicariously through me in the meantime, Sheila. I shall try to get some decent pictures of dust for you. It is plentiful right now.
And by the way, I finished A Suitable Boy, which turned out to be a highly entertaining and informative historical novel about India--all 1,474 pages of it, I'll have you know.
Where is the Graveyard of the Dead Gods?

Piano Master app review
07 Oct 2014 Reviews
Piano Master for iPad and iPhone is a piano-playing game where in the keys fall from the top of the screen and you must hit them in the appropriate rhythm. It is similar to the Guitar Hero games in that the notes fall and you must play them at the proper time.
The Best Piano Tuner Apps for iPad
Piano Master
Get for $2.99
Piano Master is a fun game to play for the piano player. You can start on easy to learn the keys, which are labeled, and work your way up to more difficult songs. Some of the very easy songs are Happy Birthday and Ode to Joy. I appreciate that the songs are a variety of lengths, so that you can start with a little 20- to 30-second song and then work your way up to a full song of three to four minutes.
The best piano apps for iPhone-2021
As a piano player, I started with a very easy song to check out the controls, and then scrolled to my favorite piano song, Canon in D. Interestingly, it is in C in the app, so even though I could play it easily sitting at a piano, I had to shift my regular keys. It also is a song that uses almost all of the keys, so the limited screen size made that difficult. Rather than the keys becoming too small for your fingers, however, the keyboard scrolls side to side. This too made things more complicated as you have to keep your fingers ready to move with the keyboard.
Beat Your Score
Just like in Guitar Hero, the piano app tracks your score and gives you a grade. Each time you can create combos and hit the keys right at the right time, you get a better score. I appreciate that there are very easy, easy, normal, hard, and very hard levels. This gives a great variety of difficulties for the beginner right through to the more accomplished pianist.
Best iphone and ipad apps
I also appreciate the collection of songs. There are more than 35 songs and five expansion packs including holiday music, anthems, and more.
Great selection of music
Five levels to play
More than 35 songs
Five expansion packs
It is difficult to play the songs on a scrolling keyboard when the song uses all the keys
Piano Master is an iPhone and iPad piano app that allows the beginner and the accomplished pianist to play beautiful music. With five difficulty levels, and over 35 songs to choose from, you can start with very easy and work your way up. Overall, this app is well-thought-out, including the scrolling keyboard when you need keys not currently visible. While this makes it difficult to keep up to the moving keys when you are used to moving your arm, it is still a great app that has a lot of fun to try and beat your best score.

Dad still had no answer to where this was taken.
Which only added to the mystery of this photo for me. Was my Mother leaning on a strangers car? Or was this shot taken before she met my Dad? Dad seemed to think it was before he had met Ma.
I never really found out the story but I did decide that this would be a great challenge for me to recreate in a much larger scale. 32'X40″. Plus I added some color.

The Pensioner's Playlist
The 25 greatest songs about aging and mortality.

The 25 greatest songs about aging and mortality
"Hope I die before I get old," sang 21-year-old Roger Daltrey in 1965—and 43 years later, he's still singing it. Rock 'n' roll has always been invested in a Byronic cult of blazing youth and beautiful corpses. But as tyros have turned into reunion-tour warhorses, rockers have had to come to terms with the ironies—and the indignities and the glories—of old age.
Other musical genres got there long before. Aging, mortality, saintly old women, dirty old men—these are perennial themes in pop and blues and soul. And, of course, country. Nashville's song factories have been churning out hits about the sunset years for decades. The No. 2 song on Billboard's country chart this week is Brad Paisley's "Waitin' on a Woman," a ballad about an overall-wearing coot who dispenses worldly wisdom from a bench in a shopping-mall food court.
Here, then, are 25 great songs about old people: honky-tonk ballads and Tin Pan Alley standards and French chanson and rumba and, yes, Jay-Z, who kicks off his ode to aging with grace with the AARP's favorite euphemism, boasting about "the maturation of Jay-Zeezy." There are paeans to beloved patriarchs, metaphysical musings on time's passage, and lots of anxious songs about diminished potency. Perhaps not surprisingly, some of the finest, most touching music here was recorded by actual senior citizens. Turns out, dying after you get old has some advantages. You know what the man said about vintage wine from fine old kegs …
Fats Waller, "Old Grand Dad" The greatest novelty-song singer of all time reflects on the hazards of sharing a house with a grumpy old man. "Who's the one that I adore/ Though he beats me to the floor?/ Old grand dad/ My old grand dad."
Bill Withers, " Grandma's Hands"
Bill Withers' bluesy 1971 paean to Grandma bores in on the details: gnarled, arthritic hands that soothe, scold, point the way, and punctuate pearls of wisdom.
Gene Autry, "That Silver Haired Daddy of Mine" Be good to dear old dad while he's still got his faculties. Soon he'll be stuck away "in a vine-covered shack in the mountains/ Bravely fighting the battle of time."
Will Oakland, "Silver Threads Among the Gold" Published in 1873, this parlor ballad waltz was one of the most popular songs of the late 19th century, a time when musical taste leaned hard toward the lachrymose. In this 1913 wax-cylinder recording, countertenor Will Oakland spares no warble in telling the tale of a love that outlasts the graying of hair and the sagging of flesh.
Jacques Brel, " Les Vieux"
"Que l'on vive à Paris on vit tous en province quand on vit trop longtemps." ("Though you live in Paris, you live in the provinces when you live too long.") As an accordion wheezes behind him, the legendary Belgian chansonnier spits out a mordant song-poem about the golden years. It's not a pretty picture: The old have voices that crack and apartments that smell of musty Bibles. They spend sunny days trudging through funeral processions for "an older man, an uglier woman." And their beloved household pets? Long gone: "Le petit chat est mort."
Elvis Costello, " Veronica"
"When I'm 64" is not Paul McCartney's best song about old age. McCartney co-wrote the music for Elvis Costello's brilliant, touching 1989 quasi-hit about an elderly woman slipping into senility. Money lines: "All the time she laughs at those/ Who shout her name and steal her clothes."
Pulp, " Help the Aged"
A cautionary tale for the carefree young from Britpop's foppish poet laureate, Pulp frontman Jarvis Cocker: "Help the aged/ One time they were just like you/ Drinking, smoking cigs, and sniffing glue."
Jay-Z, " 30 Something"
"Thirty is the new 20," crows Jay-Z, but he knows better: In hip-hop years, 30 is more like 75. But old age has its benefits: a handsome stock portfolio; "black cards, good credit and such"; and the wisdom not to trick out your car with spinner rims.
Toby Keith, " As Good As I Once Was"
"I ain't as good as I once was/ I've got a few years on me now," sings amiable good ol' boy Toby Keith. But when it's time to throw down in a bar brawl or roll in the hay with blond twins, he can still rise to the occasion—with a little help from Viagra, as the video makes clear. Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
LCD Soundsystem, " Losing My Edge"
The aging hipster's lament.
Kitty Wells, " A Woman Half My Age"
"You say your love for me you've laid aside/ And she's rekindled flames you thought had died." Country's first big female star braves her man's midlife crisis with a stiff upper lip, promising, in the song's most heartbreaking lines, to take him back once his affair has run its course: "Come back and we'll tear out this tarnished page/ And we'll forget that woman half my age."
Steely Dan, " Hey Nineteen"
As hot as it is having a girlfriend 30 years your junior, it's kind of a buzz kill when she's never heard of Aretha Franklin. "Hey nineteen/ No, we got nothing in common/ No, we can't talk at all."
Joe Tex, "Buying a Book" The raspy-voiced Southern soul hero delivers a homily on the perils of May-December romance. Listen and learn.
Tom Lehrer, " When You Are Old and Gray"
"Your teeth will start to go, dear/ Your waist will start to spread/ In 20 years or so, dear/ I'll wish that you were dead." The evilest old-age song ever written. Maybe the best.
Willie Nelson, " September Song"
On second thought: Kurt Weill and Maxwell Anderson's dark, glorious "September Song" is pop's definitive statement on aging. Here, Willie Nelson summons the full force of his taciturn ballad-singing genius, bearing down beautifully on the key line: "September, November …"
Frank Sinatra, " The September of My Years"
No singer aged with more dignity than Frank Sinatra, who in the 1960s and '70s transformed himself from roguish boulevardier to Lion in Winter—with a little help from his favorite songwriters, Jimmy Van Heusen and Sammy Cahn.
The Grateful Dead, " Touch of Grey"
"I weeeeeel get by/ I weeeeel survive …"
Hoagy Carmichael, " Rockin' Chair"
Carmichael's great 1932 ballad—sung here by the songwriter himself some 24 years later—makes curmudgeonly codgerdom sound like an idyll. "Old rockin' chair's got me/ Cane by my side/ Fetch me that gin, son/ 'Fore I tan your hide."
Nas, " Can't Forget About You"
Or, "Rockin' Chair," the rap version: "There comes a day in your life when you wanna kick back/ Straw hat on the porch when you old perhaps/ Wanna gather your thoughts, have a cold one/ Brag to your grandkids about how life is golden."
Hazel Dickens, "Old and in the Way" Help the aged. "Just remember when you're young/ That to you, the time will come/ When you're old and only in the way."
The Magnetic Fields, "When You're Old and Lonely" Perpetual sad sack Stephin Merritt finds solace in time the avenger: "When you're old and lonely/ You will wish you'd married me."
Celia Cruz, "Yo Vivire(I Will Survive)" In 2003, the late queen of salsa overhauled Gloria Gaynor's classic disco breakup anthem, turning it into an Ode on the Immortality of Celia Cruz. "My voice can fly," Cruz sings, "Can overcome any hurt/ Any time/ Any loneliness."
Johnny Cash, " We'll Meet Again"
The Man in Black turns the World War II-era anthem into a promise of reunion in the great beyond. The final track on Cash's final album. Get out the hankie for Cash's spoken-word verse that begins at the 1:32 mark.
The Zimmers, " My Generation"
Brilliant novelty-song stunt or ugly oldsploitation pop? The answer is in the ear of the beholder. This 2007 cover of the Who classic by an army of London pensioners certainly struck a chord, cracking the top 30 on the U.K. charts and going viral on YouTube.
Jimmy Durante, " Young at Heart"
Age ain't nothing but a number.

The pine-covered hilltop setting of their studio provides John and Judi with a beautiful and relaxing environment to work in. Their property is adjacent to the Ozark National Forest, just down the road from the bike trails. John and Judi relish the peaceful location as well as the privacy and solitude that the home studio provides.
Both at their home studio and at the Ozark Folk Center, John and Judi produce and finish a variety of pottery. The bulk of their work is wheel-thrown functional ware decorated with liquid colored clay or "slip". Their unique collection of slip decorated "Critter Pottery" is well know. A favorite item of that line is the "Critter Cup". These are mugs decorated with line drawings of animals on the outside and little sculpted animals inside. Another popular style of work is decorated with ferns imprints, and colored slip.
In addition to the wheel-thrown work, Judi also enjoys hand-building with clay. She uses their newly created space to sculpt animals and do figurative work. Recently she has begun to experiment with slab-built pieces as well. Although most of the work made in their home studio is fired in electric kiln on site, some of their work is fired in the Waste Vegetable Oil Kiln or the Wood-fired Groundhog Kiln at the Ozark Folk Center State Park. All of their functional work is microwave safe, oven proof, and dishwasher safe.
Their pottery can be seen in a wide range of places. Judi has published five articles on wood-firing and slip decoration in professional pottery magazines: Ceramics Monthly, Claytimes Companion, and Pottery Making Illustrated. Their work is in the collections of Governor Beebe, Senator Hilary Clinton, and Senator Dale Bumpers. They have won awards at a variety of events. Judi and John are both members of the Arkansas Craft Guild Members and the Memphis Potter's Guild. Fellow studio tour potters, David and Becki Dahlstedt were Judi's mentors when she first came to the Ozark Folk Center in 1992.
From the court house head east on 9/66 (toward Batesville) to the stop light by the Hardy's. This is the junction of 5, 9, and 14. Take a right at the light and head north on 5, 9, 14. You will pass Walmart and other commercial areas and keep going. Once you will get out of town you will head down a long hill to towards the river valley. At the intersection at the bottom of the hill you will see Anglers Resort. This is where 9 and 14 split off to the left and right. Highway 5 continues North. Continue on 5 north. After about a mile you will pass Jack's Boat Dock and Jo Jo's Catfish House on the right. One half mile past Jack's boat Dock is Green Mountain Road. It is a gravel road on the left hand side of the highway. There is a big sign for the bike trails on the right side of the road. Go ½ mile on Green Mountain Road and turn right at the burgundy mail box. Both 9400 and 9404 are on this driveway. The studio is in the right side of the garage.
There is unlimited parking on the gravel road. However, parking by the studio is limited. There is room for 4 cars at a time. The walk from the road is about 2-3 minutes or so. We will have friend on hand to help tote purchases back to the road if need be.
The studio is wheel chair accessible. The area in front of the studio is gravel but flat.

Youth Movement Delegates from 41 nations participated in the International Human Rights Summit at the United Nations.
Rahaf was one of 72 young men and women from 41 countries who were selected as delegates to the summit, established by Youth for Human Rights International (YHRI), the youth component of United for Human Rights, a global nonprofit organization.
Founded in Los Angeles in 2001, YHRI now has more than 100 chapters and distributes its award-winning educational materials to 195 countries in 21 languages. Youth members lead chapters and organize human rights initiatives in nations worldwide.
Of course, no country is immune to human rights violations. In fact, filmmaker Ronald Lang spoke to the delegates and more than 400 guests about his new film that exposes the horrors of human trafficking, which "happens all over the world, even in my own backyard here in New York, and we need to put an end to it," Lang said.
Striving to do just that and also to eradicate other human rights violations, the delegates presented their work to their peers and to dozens of diplomats from Permanent Missions to the UN—representing nations from Australia, Costa Rica and Denmark to Lebanon, Liberia and Poland—and various human rights luminaries.
Countless people around the world may not even know that their rights are being violated.
With that purpose, and the Youth for Human Rights educational materials to accomplish it, the delegates returned to their home nations to continue their missions through 2017.

Tom Gordon's Hymns and Reflections
Gifts – 6th January 2021
Tom Gordon at Swallow's Nest Uncategorized January 5, 2021 January 5, 2021 2 Minutes
The gifts of beauty, life and love … All given to me to enjoy, with nothing expected in return, except the occasional smile of gratitude. (Photo from Kathryn Gordon with many thanks.)
"By an epiphany he meant a sudden spiritual manifestation … He believed that it was for the man of letters to recover these epiphanies … seeing that they themselves are the most delicate and effervescent of moments."
James Joyce, A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man
Today the Christian Church celebrates the Feast of the Epiphany, recalling the visit of the Magi to Bethlehem, to present their gifts to Jesus. For centuries in our country, it marked the end of the twelve days of Christmas.
"Epiphany" comes from epipháneia meaning manifestation or appearance. In classical Greek it was used for the appearance of the dawn or an enemy in war, but especially of a revelation of a deity to a worshiper. Epiphany doesn't just signify the gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh brought by the three Magi from the East, familiar to us from countless Nativity Plays. It is much more a marking of a gift to us.
William Chatterton Dix was a hymn-writer from Bristol who spent much of his life in Glasgow as manager of a marine insurance company. His best-known hymn, As With Gladness Men of Old, written on Epiphany in 1859 when he was 22, encourages us to think of the gifts we can offer.
As they offered gifts most rare at that manger rude and bare,
So may we with holy joy, pure, and free from sin's alloy,
All our costliest treasures bring, Christ, to Thee, our heavenly King
Only seven years later, Dix was struck with a near fatal illness and became severely depressed. Yet he was to draw strength from a faith which had inspired him to include this verse in his great hymn:
In the heavenly country bright, need they no created light;
Thou its light, its joy, its crown, Thou its sun, which goes not down.
There for ever may we sing alleluias to our King.
On this Feast of the Epiphany, however much we think of the gifts of service we can offer, pause with Dix and reflect on the gift we are given, in "the most delicate and effervescent of moments", as Joyce wrote, of the light and joy of the revelation of the blessing of God.
A prayer for today
Lord, in these trying times, help us to "recover these epiphanies"
for we need them perhaps more than ever before. Amen

The etiquette of wearing tailor-made suits by Phillip Alexander
A good suit communicates respectability and style; and is a statement of status and authority. But only if it's done correctly. Knowing the correct etiquette of what, how and what not to wear for an occasion, is important. So the correct style, colour and fabric of a suit for a particular occasion may need to be selected carefully. If it hasn't been thought through properly, there is a danger of just looking foolish in a fancy suit. Phillip Alexander have vast knowledge and experience in advising their customers on the correct tailor made suit to wear and most important, what not to wear.

Allison is spending the summer on picturesque Peaks Island, Maine where she is the caretaker for her Aunt Meredith's exquisite beach house. While her intention is to hide-away in the small caretaker's cottage and write her first novel, she begins a relationship with a sweet ferry operator named Kevin. Kevin's rugged New England manner appeals to Allison just as a remote culture appeals to an anthropologist. Allison has grown to love the easy lifestyle and the natural beauty of the rocky coastal island. Things change when a handsome, confident New Englander named Greg Marshall inquires about renting the house. She finds herself completely flustered by his looks and smooth manner. Yet as her attraction for him grows, her life on Peak's Island begins to fall apart. First Allison almost drowns at their private beach. Then her personal journal goes missing and she begins receiving threatening texts. She senses she's being watched and a series of coincidences seem to confirm that she, in fact, may be in danger. Peaks Island is a romantic and humorous love story with a hint of suspense.

In 'Candlelight Moon' a middle-aged woman's thoughts cross briefly into a past intimate friendship and what could have been.

Q: Cheerio selection is empty/null So I would appreciate some help on this one, tried a bit of everything.
let $ = cheerio.load("<html><table><tr><td>Example 1</td><td>Example 2</td></table>");
console.log($("td").text());
Gives this result (which is what I want):
// Example1Example2
However if I load a URL from a real web page, the result for the same selection is empty/null. This is the HTML for the page I load (not mine):
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Example</title>
</head>
<div class="middle"><img src="./example.jpg" /></div>
<table class="bgColor centered">
<thead>
<tr>
<th>Example header 1</th>
<th>Example header 2</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>Example 1</td>
<td>Example 2</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
</html>
And this is the code I run. There's no problem with the URL. I've tried different selectors but never got it right. Have been able to log some things but even though I use .text() it logs the whole html, with type, tag, etc... I'm probably missing something essential. But I left that out since I want the question to be simplified, and as far as I know I should be able to log the td's from this...
Leaves the console log with two empty rows:
let myFoo = function(theUrl) {
return new Promise(function(resolve, reject) {
request(theUrl, function (error, response, html) {
if (error) {
return reject(error);
} else {
let $ = cheerio.load(html);
console.log($("td").text());
resolve();
}
});
});
};
Edit:
When i console.log($); it gives this result. I'm not sure if it looks right? I'm new to node and cheerio.
{ [Function]
fn:
{ constructor: [Circular],
_originalRoot:
{ type: 'root',
name: 'root',
attribs: {},
children: [],
next: null,
prev: null,
parent: null } },
load: [Function],
html: [Function],
xml: [Function],
text: [Function],
parseHTML: [Function],
root: [Function],
contains: [Function],
_root:
{ type: 'root',
name: 'root',
attribs: {},
children: [],
next: null,
prev: null,
parent: null },
_options:
{ withDomLvl1: true,
normalizeWhitespace: false,
xmlMode: false,
decodeEntities: true } }
And if I console.log($(html)); it gives this:
{ options:
{ withDomLvl1: true,
normalizeWhitespace: false,
xmlMode: false,
decodeEntities: true } }
A: Try this
I think this will solve the issue.
const cheerio = require('cheerio');
const axios = require('axios');
const response = axios.get('YOUR URL');
const $=cheerio.load(response.data);
console.log($("td").text());
