BkiUdx3xK7FjYCv2SYfO | Las Argandoña fue un docu-reality chileno emitido por Televisión Nacional de Chile, basado en la controvertida familia de la opinóloga Raquel Argandoña, que muestra sus viajes y aventuras, además de su entorno familiar y social.
El docureality provocó molestia entre algunas personas, incluidos familiares suyos, particularmente por las supuestas grandes sumas de dinero que se le iba a pagar a sus participantes. Ante el fracaso de lo que era una de las grandes apuestas del año de TVN, la temporada, que debutó el 9 de octubre, fue reducida a 11 de los iniciales 24 capítulos proyectados, el último de los cuales se emitió el 29 de diciembre. Si en octubre promedió 9,5 puntos de sintonía, en diciembre había descendido a 6,9.

BkiUdgc4uBhi4In9Yded | UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, says the announcement by three African countries of their intent to withdraw from the International Criminal Court, ICC sends a 'wrong message' to the world.
Ki-moon was quoted as saying this in a message tweeted by the United Nations radio in its official twitter account @UN_Radio on Friday, October 28, 2016.
Ki-moon in a message tweeted by the United Nations radio was quoted as saying this in a meeting at UN Security Council Chamber on Friday.
The UN chief said that pulling out of the court undermined the commitment to justice on the part of South Africa, Gambia, and Burundi.
He acknowledged that not all countries accepted its jurisdiction, and that, so far, only Africans had been convicted, in spite of evidence of crimes of genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity elsewhere.
``But withdrawal by the three countries would be a mistake.
"I regret these steps, which could send a wrong message on these countries commitment to justice.
"These challenges are best addressed not by diminishing support for the court, but by strengthening it from within," he said. | c4 | 4 | 2 | 5 | 1 |
BkiUeFw4dbghUyoCIo6a | Q: Sum of each combination A notation question.
Let's say I have a group of $N$ elements. I want to pick $n$ elements within that group and make the following computation (let's assume $N=3$, $n=1$, and the elements are $x_i$, where $i$ is between $0$ and $N$):
$$ x_1\cdot(1-x_2)\cdot(1-x_3)+x_2\cdot (1-x_1)\cdot (1-x_3)+x_3\cdot(1-x_1)\cdot(1-x_2).$$
As you probably understand, when $n=1$ I pick one element from the group and multiply it with the "one minus" of all the rest in the group (which weren't picked). I do so for each combination.
Another example, for $n=2$, I would do:
$$x_1\cdot x_2 \cdot (1-x_3) + x_1\cdot x_3 \cdot (1-x_2) + x_2\cdot x_3 \cdot (1-x_1).$$
I want to formulate it for a general $N$ and $n$.
Obviously, there suppose to be a $\sum$, and then a multiplication between two groups of $\prod$, something like:
$$ \sum_{all-combinations}\left[\prod_{picked-elements}x_i\cdot \prod_{non-picked-elements}(1-x_j)\right].$$
The thing is that I do not know how to write the groups properly.
Can someone please advise? Thanks!
A: I think the cleanest way is$$\sum_{\substack A\subseteq [N]\\|A|=n}\Bigg(\prod_{i\in A}x_i\Bigg)\Bigg(\prod_{i\in [n]\setminus A}(1-x_i)\Bigg),$$
where $[N]=\{1,2,\dots,N\}$.

BkiUdus5qYVBbtzIxd3O | Q: How do I calculate the days left in a year using a function? I want to calculate the days left in a year using a function in python.
I don't want to use the date.time library because it isn't something I should use, instead I should create a function that will do this.
Could I somehow implement these functions:
def is_leap_year(year):
return (year % 4 == 0) and (year % 100 != 0) or (year % 400 == 0)
def days_in_month(month, year):
if month in ['September', 'April', 'June', 'November']:
print(30)
elif month in ['January', 'March', 'May', 'July', 'August','October','December']:
print(31)
elif month == 'February' and is_leap_year(year) == True:
print(29)
elif month == 'February' and is_leap_year(year) == False:
print(28)
else:
print(None)
To create the last function I am having trouble with?
Edit:
def is_leap_year(year):
if year == (year % 4 == 0) and (year % 100 != 0) or (year % 400 == 0):
return 366
else:
return 365
def days_in_month(month, year):
if month in ['September', 'April', 'June', 'November']:
print(30)
elif month in ['January', 'March', 'May', 'July',
'August','October','December']:
print(31)
elif month == 'February' and is_leap_year(year) == True:
print(29)
elif month == 'February' and is_leap_year(year) == False:
print(28)
else:
print(None)
def days_left_in_year(month, day, year):
if is_leap_year == 366:
days_left = 366 - day
if is_leap_year == 365:
day_left = 366 - day
A: There is no legitimate reason NOT to use the built-in modules for this. The whole reason they exist is to eliminate the possibility of introducing difficult-to-find bugs, and date/time/leap-year computation are among the most error-prone that a programmer is likely to encounter.
import datetime
def days_left_in_year(month, day, year):
day_of_year = datetime.datetime(year,month,day).timetuple().tm_yday
end_of_year = datetime.datetime(year,12,31).timetuple().tm_yday
return end_of_year - day_of_year
A: If you really don't want to use standard modules (e.g., datetime) then you could do this:
diysf = [0, 31, 59, 90, 120, 151, 181, 212, 243, 273, 304, 334]
def isleap(yy):
return yy % 400 == 0 or (yy % 100 != 0 and yy % 4 == 0)
def rdays(yy, mm, dd):
diy = 366 if mm < 3 and isleap(yy) else 365
return diy - diysf[mm-1] - dd
print(rdays(YY,MM,DD))

BkiUdNo5qsBDH65QVJYY | Andrew loves Jimmy Buffet. He really is a bonafide parrot head. So when the announcement was made that he would be coming to Houston, Andrew was online the minute ticket sales started. In his true form and with his usual enthusiasm, he purchased eight tickets. When the magic day got here, he still had two tickets left. He wanted to take Alyssa since she loves the music too. I was having second thoughts about letting her go to such an event on a school night until I saw them in parrot loving form.
The other day Hunter and Alyssa were mooning each other. I happened to be in the middle of them tending to Palmer. I saw Hunter and in my best non-laughing mother voice said, "Hunter, come here!"
As he proceeded to come he said, "Alyssa was doing it too!"
I replied, "I saw you and asked you to come here."
At which point he said, "I know you saw Alyssa. You have eyes in the back of your head!"
This picture was taken during spring break. It wasn't a fancy picnic. We didn't even go to the park. The kids wanted a picnic. I just wanted to hang around the house. The car was already a crazy, cluttered mess without all the stuff involved in a picnic/day at the park. Plus it had stormed like absolute crazy the day before and outdoors was a soggy, muddy mess. I convinced them to be happy riding their bikes around our cul-de-sac. I decided to surprise them while they were riding their bikes. Seriously, it was one of the best picnics ever. It doesn't take much. Let me explain.
I've been meditating on this verse for awhile. I love the way it sounds. I love the way it sounds in every single translation of the Bible. The words are pretty to me and they make my heart smile.
This is so true. When I get that unexpected email, pretty card or surprise phone call from a friend I haven't talked with in awhile, I smile. It feels so good to feel loved. It feels so good to know I am on some one's mind. So good.
Isn't this true with our kids also. I have found that mine don't need undivided attention every second of the day. Although I'd love to be able mentally and physically to give them that, it's just not a reality. Sometimes it's the little things that make them feel loved. Just taking a second from the computer, dishes or laundry to look them in the eyes and really listening to what they are saying satisfies them for the moment. I might have a two minute conversation with them listening to their latest accomplishment and telling them how strong and athletic I think they are. I hear them playing together repeating what I've just told them to be true about themselves to their brothers and sisters as I finish my task.
Isn't it like this with the Lord too? As much as I do long for intimate all day long conversation with Jesus, just a word goes a long way. Each time I take time to spend with God, the Holy Spirit whispers to my heart what I already know to be true and I can go about day repeating what he's said, engraving it on my mind and heart.
I'm wired just like my kids, I'm his kid, a word from the Lord, a thoughtful gesture from him carries me a long way. Especially when I need it most.
So remember it doesn't have to take a long time, involve deep conversation or be fancy at all to be a special gift of encouragement to one who may really need it.
Last Sunday evening when I got home from my weekend away, Julia was already home and the other children stayed at Gramma's until Monday. It was so fun to get one-on-one time with her. We watched Enchanted, ate hot wings and got her ears pierced. Oh my! I wanted to do something special with her. She was really suprised, excited and very, very brave.
While I was gone, Julia spent the weekend with her Yia Yia and Pop. She attended opening weekend for the Round Rock Express. This is a tradition for her. Since she was two-years-old she has loved going to these games, meeting Spike the mascot and actually sitting and watching the game. Out of all the grandkids, she's the only one who can sit still long enough to finish out nine innings. This is pretty amazing since she rarely sit still in general. I think this year was pretty exciting since she's playing softball herself.
It's been a long season. She's the youngest on the team on top of it being her first year to play. She dreaded every game until...drumroll please. She hit the ball!!! Now she's a pro and can't wait to get back on the field. All it takes is a little success to make life fun.
This is part of the group I've talking about. I've known some of these ladies for over fifteen years. I talk to some on a regular basis. I connect with others only on the retreat. Even the ones I don't keep up with regularly, I instantly reconnect with when we get to Calvary. It's really that amazing! Our hearts for the Lord bind us together in such way that we all feel like we've known each other forever. It's a pretty amazing picture of unity that can happen so easily and freely when believers are right before God.
As I ponder all that we've been through together, I see a beautiful tapestry of life. It is colored with bright celebrations and tinted with shadows of grief. We've walked through graduations, promotions and marriages. We've birthed babies, struggled through infertility and survived horrible divorces. We've raised, released and commissioned children. We've been freed from addictions, healed from deep hurts and embraced higher callings. We've cried together, praised together, laughed together and hurt together. We've shared late nights, long hugs and Kleenex...lots of Kleenex. We've learned from each other's mistakes. We've encouraged each other to advance despite our fears. We've prayed when no one else was praying. We've watched God move in mighty ways through powerful prayers and prophetic releases. We can choose to live with one another as a patchwork quilt, beautiful but sewed together side by side or we can choose to live as a rich, ornate tapestry with our lives woven together in an intricate pattern. These ladies' lives are part of the tapestry of my own.
I just want to take a second and thank God for my girlfriends...girls who love God with their hearts, souls and minds. Girls who will walk the extra mile to be touched by the One only One who can touch our every longing. I love you all and missed every one of you who were absent this year.
Do you have good friends? The kind of friends who are really there for you, would do anything for you? Do you have friends you can count on?
I have been blessed to have some friends who LOVE me. I mean they believe only the best about me and pour me an extra dose of grace on a daily basis.
My siestahs and I met in college and try to get together at least once a year, preferably for this retreat that I keep talking about.
These lovely ladies know everything about me and yet, they love me. They hear my junk and wade through it with me while holding hands.
When I am too weak to hold my hands up to God, they do it for me. When I am too tired to pack my bags to go on a ladies retreat to receive much needed ministry from the Holy Spirit, they pack my bags, load my car and drive me. These ladies have held my babies and held my Kleenex. I have lived in dorms, apartments and houses with these ladies.
We've been through LOTS together.
As I recently studied the story of the paraplegic carried by his friends to meet Jesus in Luke 5, I thought of my gal pals. (I hope you love hearing this story of amazing friendship as much as I do. See post titled "She's Not Heavy...She's My Siestah" from last week.) Do you have friends that carry you to the presence of God? Do you carry your friends into his presence? A good friend is truly a rare treasure.
This man's friends probably heard Jesus was in town, ran to their friend's house, made a extra strong, easy to carry with only minimal blisters stretcher to load their paralyzed friend on and had to probably run or walk as fast as they could to see Jesus.
When they arrived there was such a great crowd, they couldn't get close. They were excited. They were together. They were going to Jesus, the King of Kings, the Great Physician! Hurry!
They couldn't get in the front door because people were pushing. They had to protect their friend.
Love sees with clear eyes and really, what one person's eyes see as impossible, two or three people's eyes see a solution.
Nobody was on the roof so they quickly climbed the steps straight up to the roof. They could hear Jesus. His voice was so confident, full of authority and so full of love. Their aching hands and backs suddenly felt better just hearing his voice. They suddenly knew they were doing the right thing by dragging, literally, their friend here to see this man. Who was he?
One friend took his hunting knife and began cutting. As soon as the others saw, they began using their hands to help.
A commotion was beginning to take place inside the house below them. They kept working frantically, excitedly. They were so close. They had to hurry before they were stopped.
As the roof began to cave in and rain down debris on Jesus and his irritated audience, the men began to lower their beloved friend. Slowly. Carefully. Lovingly.
One began to speak. "Jesus, we knew if we could get him close enough to see your face..."
How Jesus must have been touched. Seeing such sacrifice, such unity, such love among friends is rare.
As the friends are holding him with tired, aching arms, raw, blistered hands, stooped, strained backs and expectant, loving hearts, Jesus speaks.
Lungs deflate, hearts race, breaths catch.
Jesus says, "Your sins are forgiven."
They brought him to be healed. To walk. They had used all their strength on the way there. How would they ever be able to carry him home?
People in the crowd begin to shout.
Again, who is this Jesus?
They came seeking a miracle.
Jesus drew them to their own heart's sinful condition. Yes, they loved their friend. But, they also figured in all their humanness exactly what their crippled friend needed most...That is to walk.
Then slowly the friends began to understand one by one.
They thought their friend's greatest problem was his physical condition.
Jesus showed them it was his attitude about his physical condition. The heart can humble itself before God recognizing who He is no matter what the physical condition.
At those words, the paralyzed man knew who Jesus was. Who Jesus is.
And, Jesus healed him. Immediately he jumped up and began praising God...because he was in His presence, fully healed from the inside out. What a joyful journey home these friends must have had! Their great joy must have fueled the group. I bet there wasn't a sore back in the band of friends.
One of my favorite parts of the the retreats I keep talking about is the journey home. It just flies by as we share what amazing things our God has done healing us from the inside out. We leave each other's presence encouraged beyond measure. We leave with hearts full of priceless treasures amazed again at the goodness of our God.
Right before I left town, Alyssa lost her front tooth.
I was really waiting until she lost the other one to post a picture. I love those toothless 6-year-old pictures. I love that silly toothless kid lisp.
I love Alyssa or Ali as she's going by these days. Her most recent nickname is Ali. A regular variation of her name nickname, Ali really could be short for Alyssa.
Gone is Sparky, Zooboomafoo and Jolly; lost forever to grown-up six-year-old maturity or so it seemed. But, just this morning she wrote her name at church...Samuel B. Cookie. (B is for Bunny.) She not only wrote it that way on her bookmark, she insisted on all the teachers calling her that! Her wonderful teachers lovingly obliged. Can you imagine? "Katie, can you say our verse?" "Jacob, your turn." "Ahem, Samuel B. Cookie?"
She still acts like a squirrel at the dinner table and loves speaking like Sylvestor (the toothless cat). In every large family there is always one creative type that sorta brightly colors the picture...Gotta love the Animal Angel and her missing tooth!
My life is like a jigsaw puzzle. All the pieces are clearly defined in odd, unique shapes. Seemingly at first glance, they don't fit together. But really they fit together perfectly and form a beautiful picture, an original mosaic created by the world's best Artist, The Author of life itself.
Right now, there's no space between the pieces, no room,m no time. They only fit together one specific, rigid way. One piece comes loose and the whole puzzle falls apart.
I've been like a soldier in boot camp, preparing for a purpose worth fighting for, a victorious cause. Training is rigorous. It takes most all hours of the day. There's not much time for anything else at all. As a matter of fact, there are times I downright miss the life I had before boot camp. Because I've gone through boot camp of sorts before I know my life will never be the same. I will become a different person through this process and after awhile my new soldier-lifestyle will be so good I'll no longer miss civilian life.
My life is full of activities and exercises that I will need as part of my new soldier life. Coffee, carpool, softball games, soccer practices, committee meetings, ballet class, Bible studies and real estate...all with a two-year-old firecracker, a husband to help, children to serve, friends to pursue and clients to please are all parts of the picture.
I'd been telling God I couldn't go on like this but he came. He strengthened me, lifted me up and gave me new mercies to complete this season of physical endurance.
I surrendered once again to the Potter's hand knowing the rest of this life pales to forever in eternity. He released me fly, commissioned me to fight and moved me forward in my destiny releasing me to share my story with others on a similar path.
As mountaintop revelation from him is painfully, slowly, awkwardly integrated into my life, my faith will soar, fears will leave and I'll rest by living in a quiet trust.
I finally updated my template...Like it? Except, I can't view my old one. Well, supposedly, I can. I just don't know how! If I have left your link off, it's because I have to search for it. (This is where you could comment and let me know what it is.) Anyone know how to view the old template? Suggestions would be helpful here. Thanks!
I've been talking about this retreat. For over fifteen years a group of friends and I have made an annual pilgrimage to this place. I've only missed one year...last year. It's that good!
The group has varied from year to year but there are a core group of us who have been close friends for years. I tell these girlfriends, "No matter how you have to get me there, get me there!" We've become friends who carry one another to where Jesus is.
I'm thinking this is what the paralyzed man in Luke 5 told his friends. Luke 5:17 tell us Jesus was teaching to a large crowd from many towns "And the power of the Lord was present for him to heal the sick."
Jesus saw their faith, forgave his sins and healed him.
The faith of friends who love you can turn God's ear to your healing!
These guys loved their friend so much they made a stretcher, loaded him on it and carried him. Probably for miles, maybe for hours or days. After carrying him through town after town with sore backs, blistered fingers and bruised shins, they discovered that the crowd was so thick, Jesus might not be able to see their friend. So despite aching arms they climbed to the roof just to get their beloved friend in the presence of the One who could heal him. Wow!
These ladies have saved, borrowed and sacrificed, traveled long distances after long days, given up time with family and weekends year after year all to get right in front of Jesus with me in a place where "the power of the Lord is present to heal the sick."
Luke 5:25 says, "Without a moment's hesitation he stood up in front of them, took what he had been lying on and went home praising God."
Year after year we all truly pick up what we've been lying on and go home praising God!
he made it himself: pudding!
Thank you Aunt Tracy and Uncle Matt! The cutest was when I asked Hunter if he had fun with Hazel Claire. He smiled so sweetly and said kind of shyly, "She wuvs me wots!" Thanks for the love, pudding, pancakes and hammocks. You guys are the greatest!
Where have I been? I've been here writing in my journal. I've had to escape the clack of the keys, flashing of my sidebar updating and constant announcement that "I've got mail."
I've had a time of returning to the wonderful feel of a pen in my hand, flourishing across a page creating words. Stringing together curly letters to form stories from my heart with my hand.
In a place much quieter than standing at the kitchen counter with the laptop I call friend, my heart has needed absolute stillness in the secret place with the One who calls me friend.
Life is moving at a rapid pace filled with so much constraining responsibility. For the last couple of weeks I'd been telling God that I couldn't go on like this. I'd been asking him why he would bless me with so much if I couldn't manage all he'd given me with grace.
One of my daily prayers is that I would be able to drink the cup I've been given with as much faith and grace as Christ did on his lifelong journey to the cross. Remember when he asked God the Father to "Take this cup from me? Yet not my will but thine." I was there. I was almost convinced that I was all wrong for the this job called my life. Needless to say I needed rest. I needed a break. I needed to regain perspective. I needed to rest my body so my soul could see clearly.
This weekend I had the opportunity and privilege to go on a wonderful retreat with a church that the Lord has been using for over fifteen years to grow and encourage me. I found the rest my body and soul were craving. I never leave this place disappointed.
There will be more posts about this weekend coming. Thank you so much to Andrew, Cris and Linda, Dad and Dina and Tracy and Matt for all pitching in so that this worn out mother of four could leave this busy place of life and go. I will be forever in debt to you.
Tears spring to my eyes.
It's ever been alive before now.
Longing is squeezed into nothing. | c4 | 4 | 1 | 5 | 2 |

Lessons learned from MiFID and the wider impact of MiFID II
Published on: December, 2017
A new Thomson Reuters report highlights the challenges organizations face as they prepare to meet the complex demands of the Markets in Financial Instruments Directive II (MiFID II).
For more about MiFID II
and to read the full MiFID II
Market Readiness Report
visit mifidii.com or CLICK HERE
From new trading venues to greater transparency, and from greater investor protection to the need to demonstrate best execution, the requirements of MiFID II are multiple and far-reaching.
This major piece of financial regulation, although European in origin, will have effects across the financial services industry within the European Union and well beyond its borders.
As businesses and financial institutions are rapidly preparing for implementation on 3 January 2018, our MiFID II Market Readiness Report brings together insights from nearly 5,000 senior regulatory and compliance staff across the world.
The result is an insightful and detailed view into the challenges and potential benefits of MiFID II.
Lessons learned from MiFID
MiFID cost more than expected, took longer than expected to implement, required more resources and highlighted the need for a flexible business model.
Head of Regulatory and Market Structure Propositions, Thomson Reuters
MiFID was adopted in 2007. However, the financial crisis revealed that it did not go far enough in achieving its goal of underpinning the single market in investment products and services. Nonetheless, MiFID did break new ground and respondents felt that they learned some lessons from it, which can be applied to its second iteration, MiFID II.
Across all areas and all regions, our survey respondents deemed that MiFID II's impact would be positive for: investor protection, HFT trading and record keeping, best execution, pre- and post-trade transparency, APA and data collection, research unbundling and permissioning, transaction and trade reporting, SI determination, regulatory change automation and mapping, trading and trade matching.
Asked which areas they considered they were successfully managing in relation to implementing MiFID II, on average their responses suggest that they feel their performance leaves room for improvement in all areas.
So what benefits would MiFID II bring respondents' organizations? Better investor protection and improving transparency of financial markets headed the list. If this proves to be true then MiFID II will have achieved two of its overarching aims.
We asked whether various stakeholder groups would benefit or be disadvantaged by MiFID II over the next three years. In general, a strong majority felt that MiFID II would benefit those groups, with very few saying that they would be disadvantaged.
The wider impact of MiFID II
One of the bi-products of MiFID was that it led to an increase in the number of technology and service providers in the financial services market. So therefore, what impact would MiFID II have on the number of fintech and regtech companies in their respective countries?
To clarify, fintech describes "the evolving intersection of financial services and technological innovation in the financial sector, including innovations in financial literacy and education, retail banking, investment and even crypto-currencies like bitcoin". Regtech "consists of a group of companies that use technology to help businesses comply with regulations efficiently and inexpensively".
The overwhelming majority of respondents thought that the number of fintech and regtech companies would increase in their countries over the next three years.
Lastly, respondents believed that MiFID II would have a variety of impacts on non-equity instruments such as real estate and commodities, though in this research we haven't had the scope to probe whether other regulatory measures such as the Alternative Investment Fund Managers Directive (AIFMD), European Market Infrastructure Regulation (EMIR) and Undertakings for the Collective Investment of Transferable Securities (UCITS) would play a hand in producing similar impacts.
The data management challenge
The wide scope of MiFID II means that our respondents have no shortage of areas to invest their compliance spend, from boosting investor protection and accessing new trading venues to ensuring greater transparency and demonstrating best execution. One common element in many of these challenges is data.
To comply and operate efficiently in a post-MiFID II world, organizations will need to be able to create, access, absorb and aggregate data from a variety of sources. Yet 60% of respondents said they did not have all the data they need. Key challenges named by respondents were the sheer volume, complexity, sourcing, reconciling and reporting of data.
Will it be worth it all in the end?
Despite the range of concerns and costs, our report revealed that it will be worth the effort. Just over two-thirds of respondents believe MiFID II will be of overall benefit to their organizations, with this figure rising to three-quarters among those most knowledgeable about the coming regulation.
The greatest benefits identified were better investor protection and improving the transparency of financial markets.
Turning a challenge into an opportunity
While our MiFID II Market Readiness Report highlights some serious issues, there is also evidence that these are being addressed, with more money, time and effort going into compliance.
There is also recognition that, despite the initial pain, MiFID II will put the industry and its customers on a stronger and more secure footing.
It's important to remember that compliance is not purely a defensive play; having everything in the right place and ready to go can provide a competitive advantage.
As a recognized leader and trusted ally in the market, Thomson Reuters is strongly positioned to support organizations as they address the complex data needs and solve the key data challenges of MiFID II. | commoncrawl | 5 | 4 | 2 | 3 |

No Doubt 9/25/2012
Underneath it all, underneath all the glamour and stardom, No Doubt remain a group of SoCal kids enraptured by the ska revival and new wave. That's their common language, so when they reunited for 2012's Push and Shove, their first album in over ten years, they returned to this shared bond, using it as a back-to-roots template for an album that deftly weaves in contemporary sounds without ever pandering. Part of this dexterity is due to No Doubt expanding their love of ska outward toward reggae and dancehall, underlining their affection with bouncing elastic rhythms and a heavy dose of patois -- nowhere more so than on the Major Lazer-assisted single "Push and Shove" -- a self-conscious move toward musical maturity that does indeed pay off as it plays like an affirmation of roots. Similarly, the cool, glassy gloss of their pop tunes and ballads -- "Gravity," "Undercover," "Heaven" -- feel connected to their grounding in early MTV; perhaps their natural ebullience has been tempered by age, but this remains the same stylish, hooky pop that turned No Doubt into unexpected superstars in the back half of the '90s. It is also the portion of Push and Shove that sounds closest to either of Gwen Stefani's solo albums of the new millennium, bringing to mind not the thumping dance of "Hollaback Girl" but rather the breeziness of "Sweet Escape" and "Cool." And that's the interesting thing about Push and Shove, for as much as there are clever contemporary flourishes -- the most notable being a passing collaboration with dance sensation Diplo -- this is a modest, mature comeback, highlighted by the band's keen awareness of their strengths and subtle, unstated acknowledgment of encroaching middle age. Gwen tackles this subject on "Looking Hot," where she wonders how much longer she can indulge in skintight clothes, but her band has already acknowledged they're no longer the young ska-punks they once were. They've turned into savvy old pros who know when to flex their muscle and when to lay back, and that canny musicality and camouflaged maturity make Push and Shove a satisfying comeback. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine

BkiUfgg25V5jgCb631ZB | Alphabet Soup - Moving at the Speed of Procrastination.
Anniversary: It's our 26th wedding anniversary.
Blow driers: I've used the blow drier twice this week — and I can't remember when I used it before that. I usually just let my hair dry naturally.
Carrie: She is probably around two now. She still sleeps in all morning, loves the front room which is her "crate", and knows to ring the bell for the back yard. At 4 pm-ish yesterday she began trying to get my attention. She was quite ready to take her walk, but she shies at having her harness put on. At least now she isn't playing a game to run away when seeing it. She's strong, pulls at the leash. I occasionally up my speed to a lumbering trot to let her move at her pace. (Lumber Woman, that's me.) She's still excitable. We met Gracie and her person walking yesterday. I remember Gracie from about a year ago, and thinking "What an unruly dog, the person should be doing better with her." Yesterday i was thinking, "I'm so over my head in training Carrie!" as Gracie sat so well with her person. Gracie's person suggests that Carrie has a few months to go and then will settle down.
Doctor Strange: I apparently have been ignoring the Marvel universe more or less since 2014. I'm going to make an attempt to "catch up" by May and the next Avengers film, which means roughly a film a month. Doctor Strange is streaming on Netflix (along with two others on my list), so we watched that last night. I was delightfully entertained. In some ways it was Batman Begins meets the Matrix: scruffy Benedict Cumberbatch brings to mind scruffy Christian Bale, plus all the manipulation of "reality." Doctor Strange as surgeon seemed to channel a little Gregory House. But what was that accent?
Enchilasagne: When i was more strict about wheat products, i found corn tortilla made a passable replacement for lasagna noodles. Yesterday, i used them to layer as if a lasagna, but with enchilada sauce, beans, and green chilies. It was more a quick assembly than a gourmet construction, but it is yum.
Friday plans: More working in the yard. The second flat of pansies need to be put in the island. Oh my -- gifts to pack and ship. Late late late.
Greycie Loo: She's adorable. I'm not sure I can do her justice in describing her clear communications with reaching out and moving your hadn't or arm where she wants it, her love nips, her testing out which of us - Christine or I - who will be more comfortable to nestle up against during a TV show.
Holidays Movie Favorites? I was asked that today and replied that The Haunted Tea Cosy (Edward Gorey) and Red Rider (Berkeley Breathed) were favorite holiday books.
Jealous Dog: I do believe in a jealous dog.
Privilege: The CEO where i work has written a book with a blurb that begins, "Have you ever wondered why some people seem to catch all the breaks and win over and over again? What do the super successful know?" I am tempted to create an anonymous identity and publicly snark through the whole "parable."
Tuesday night: The day had been surreally warm, and Christine had been at a client's all afternoon. I called Christine to see if she would meet Carrie and i downtown at the pizza place, The Mod, and eat on the patio with us. They have a fire pit, but it was essentially unneeded. Carrie's dinner was a side of roasted chicken bits ostensibly for my salad.
UPS Truck: too big to go around the new driveway loop (and concerned about hitting tree branches). I'm sad we didn't meet its needs.
Work: not as productive as i would like this week. I'm going to take a few more days off.
Zinnias: I planted some unsuccessfully last year. I'll be trying again. Probably need to do much better soil preparation.

BkiUdn84eIXgu69TmP-m | More than the majority of you are probably reading the title on this blog post and don't know what either of those options even are, let alone which option is better… The truth is, I don't expect you to know any of it! That's part of my job, to educate you on the best product for your need.
Let's be honest, to the eyes of most, a print is a print is a print. A piece of paper that has a photo on it and I can do things with it like frame it and it will last forever. Right? Not quite.
Not all prints are created equally, and this blog post is going to help you know the differences between them, know when you should splurge and invest in the quality ones, and know when you can take advantage of the bulk sale at your local print lab.
Mounted prints are very similar visually to a regular paper print, but with an extra rigid backing meant to provide stability and protection. In short, the art print is mounted onto the substrate for ultimate protection against warping and damaged corners. These are absolutely great for displaying individually or in a group on an easel for the smaller sizes, as keepsakes in an archival image box, or for use in frames.
Matted prints are likely more familiar to most, since they are commonly seen in framed pieces across the globe in family homes. The difference to those already in the frames, is that these prints come encased in the mat, rather than it just being a pretty topical piece for the frame. In other words, they are stand-alone pieces. They have the same quality art print placed in the 'envelope' of a beautiful mat (similar to a really thick cardstock, but with embellishments), meant to provide stability and protection warping and damage. These are also great for displaying individually in a beautiful frame, or as keepsakes in an archival image box.
Now before I get too much into detail on these ones, I do want to point out that there is a still a big difference in quality between bulk prints (proofs) at a photo lab, versus the low-quality paper prints at instant or one-hour printing places at department stores. The bulk proofs are awesome when you are ordering a ton of prints of the same size, for safe-keeping, or for scrap-booking. I personally print off all of the images I would be sad to lose if my hard-drive crashed, even phone photos. I typically print off anywhere from 50-500 at a time, depending on how many I have accumulated in the last few months (holidays typically mean more photos)–my wedding yielded something like 1200 prints! These images are printed on quality photo-paper that comes on a roll, which means that they can develop a slight curve to them if not stored flat or upright in a large stack (hence why we splurge on matting or mounting options for the important ones).
So, the verdict? For archiving purposes or for scrapbook projects, make sure you get the quality photo paper. For decorating dorm-room walls, go ahead and get the cheap insta-prints to save a few bucks!
Now that you have all of the information, you can make and educated decision on which are best for YOU.
They are both high quality print products, so it really comes down to how you plan on using them, where you intend on displaying them, and which ones you think are prettier or best fit the space. It really is that simple, and you can't go wrong!
My personal choice is matted prints of my all-time favourites in the linen folio box, swapping them into frames as life goes on and I capture new photographs. The rest are printed in bulk on high quality photo-stock and stored in a sleeve made with special acid-free materials to preserve the prints, in an archival linen image box. I look forward to sharing them with my grandchildren, and it acts as my secondary backup system. And of course, I provide that same backup-system to all of my clients when they purchase their digital keepsakes.

BkiUa845qhDACtS7fREB | Q: CORS request failing in docker-compose environment I'm hoping to figure out why an API request in a React application running in Firefox is failing.
Headers are as follows:
Accept */*
Accept-Encoding gzip, deflate
Accept-Language en-US,en;q=0.5
Connection keep-alive
DNT 1
Host backend:8080
origin http://localhost:3000
Referer http://localhost:3000/
User-Agent Mozilla/5.0 ...
On Chrome, an opaque message tells of some sort of network(ish) error:
request.js?176a:41 GET http://backend:8080/api/foobar/
net::ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED
On Firefox, there seems to be a bit more info:
Cross-Origin Request Blocked: The Same Origin Policy disallows reading the remote resource at http://backend:8080/api/foobar/. (Reason: CORS request did not succeed).
I have a environment composed of two relevant nodes, frontend and backend. frontend is running a server hosting the React frontend bits. backend is a Flask app providing a set of simple JSON APIs. The intent is for frontend to call backend via JSON APIs.
The docker-compose config is such that they're running on the same logical network. At first, I had suspected the issue was a docker-compose issue, and maybe some DNS mishap. However, I was able to exclude this case by manually stopping the frontend node, and manually re-attaching the same container to the network so I could run a bash shell and ping the backend host. Furthermore, I was able to fetch the same bits via curl from the backend. So this excludes it being a Docker networking issue (I think).
The next logical culprit is something to do with CORS. The frontend request is hitting a distinct domain, (e.g. backend) so this could explain the behavior.
Following the docs listed in the dev console of Firefox the claim is a "fundamental network error of some kind" occurred.
For good measure, I set up Flask-CORS on the backend and verified the right headers are being relayed from the server. To be precise, Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *.
Yet, from the logs of the backend server - there are still no new network requests being made. I had speculated that maybe there was an OPTION request being fired at the backend per the special case described in the Mozilla CORS Docs, and that was failing. Yet that would at least have triggered a log entry in the Flask console output indicating an OPTION request was fired. To indulge my paranoia I even broke out Wireshark. There doesn't even appear to be any relevant network requests being emitted from Firefox (nor Chrome) !
Odds are I am over complicating this, and it's something painfully simple. But would love some pointers in the right direction.
A:
TLDR - JavaScript runs in the browser (says the backend dev)
The host referred on the frontend should be localhost as the backend port is exposed on localhost via Docker. And the frontend code is running in the browser (as opposed to exclusively in the container). The container was just a process serving up those bits.
The opaque network error was likely a result of referring to a domain name that didn't exist to the host network. Because it was part of the docker-compose virtual network.

BkiUddI4uBhhxQOlnuOH | Lionheart Capital scores TCO for long-delayed Ritz-Carlton Residences, Miami Beach
The TCO from Miami Beach means that closings can finally start at the 111-unit, 15-villa luxury development
By Keith Larsen
Ophir Sternberg and Ricardo Dunin with the Ritz-Carlton Residences, Miami Beach
Lionheart Capital secured a temporary certificate of occupancy for its long-delayed luxury condo project The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Miami Beach.
The TCO from the city of Miami Beach means that closings can finally begin at the 111-unit, 15-villa luxury development at 4701 Meridian Avenue, where prices range from $2 million to over $40 million. The project is currently more than 70 percent presold, according to a press release from the development group.
Ritz-Carlton Residences sits in a quiet residential area of Miami Beach overlooking Surprise Lake, and is the first full-scale architectural project in the U.S. by Piero Lissoni, an acclaimed Italian architect who is known for his minimalist design. It was developed by Lionheart Capital, led by Ophir Sternberg and Ricardo Dunin, and Elliott Management Corp.
Sales at Ritz-Carlton Residences, Miami Beach initially began in 2014 and the project was supposed to be substantially completed by 2017, according to marketing materials.
The project was hindered, however, by construction delays, and seven buyers sued the development group seeking to get their deposits back. Three of the lawsuits remain pending in Miami-Dade Circuit Court, including one from Marsha Soffer of the Turnberry Associates family, court documents show.
The development group has not publicly commented on the delays or if it plans to settle the lawsuits. Plaza Construction, the contractor on the project, also has not commented on the delays.
"To compensate that we were late we are going to deliver a product a lot beyond what people expect," Dunin told The Real Deal in February, when he expected the TCO to be issued in April. This includes importing furniture for the common areas from top European designers, purchased at the Salone del Mobile in Milan, Italy, last April.
The adaptive reuse project features 60 distinct floor plans and was built on the former site of the Miami Heart Institute.
Lionheart Capital paid Mount Sinai Medical Center $20 million for the property in February 2012. The development group secured a $105 million construction loan from Bank of the Ozarks, now known as Bank OZK, in the summer of 2015, including assuming $10 million in existing construction financing.
In addition to the condos and villas, Ritz-Carlton Residences, Miami Beach will feature gardens, pools and 36 private boat slips.
Shared amenities will include an art studio, a rooftop pool deck with private cabanas and a restaurant, a waterfront bar and social room, pet grooming facilities, indoor and outdoor yoga studios, a meditation garden and car wash facilities.

BkiUfeI5qhDCd63mTTu4 | The boys and girls of the Maywood Sunday school, near Independence, met last night and decided to eat no meat during the next thirty days. Petitions were circulated in Independence yesterday, but received few signers.
THEY WANT A 5-CENT FARE.
the Matter -- Bloodhound, Also.
At a meeting of the Independence Commercial Club held last night a committee of five was adopted to co-operate with a committee from the Maywood Improvement Club to go before the Commercial Club of this city at its next meeting and urge that the local organization assist in getting the Metropolitan Street Railway Company to adopt a 5-cent fare between this city and Independence.
James B. Forbis made a motion that the city purchase bloodhounds for the tracking of criminals, and it was unanimously adopted.
Definite steps have been taken by the Commercial Club of Independence and the Maywood Improvement Club to secure a boulevard from Independence to Kansas City. A committee composed of members of both clubs was appointed to confer with the county court concerning the project. It is desired to have a boulevard starting west from Walnut street in Independence, through Maywood, which will come into this city on Fifteenth street just south of Mount Washington cemetery. This will necessitate the opening of a road three miles long between Maywood and Independence. | c4 | 4 | 2 | 4 | 2 |

BkiUcCU25V5hc_OxxCV5 | [Hamptons v French Flair]
The Hamptons and French Provincial styles may share common themes, but it takes a sophisticated eye for detail to capture their true essence.
Both styles are elegantly relaxed and inviting, and both make use of natural materials, lots of white and timeless pieces of furniture. Yet look closely and you'll see subtle differences between these two very popular design classics.
In the exclusive beachside enclave that is The Hamptons, a short jaunt from New York and home to some of the most expensive residential properties in the US, you'll find crisp white interiors, expansive spaces, roof shingles, weatherboards, white timber panelling, and delicate touches in pewter, antique silver and vintage black.
The homes speak of tradition and nostalgia; of family and heritage, with big fireplaces and an eclectic, yet thoughtfully chosen, mix of furniture. Textiles include linen and velvet, the colour palette embraces soft blues and greys, and details tend to be simple, understated and timeless, echoing the humble beginnings of this prestigious beachside playground, which was first settled by English farmers in the 1600s.
Across the globe, in the picturesque French countryside, the look is more rustic and more ornate than the sophisticated nonchalance of The Hamptons.
From grand château, to more modest family farmhouse, the details that help characterise the French Country style are generally more decorative and the materials a little less understated. Think wrought iron, antique brass, oak, beautiful big kitchens, flagstone floors and Juliet balconies.
With its wealth of style and design expertise, Oswald Homes understands the subtleties of both looks, whether clients want to remain authentic to one, or create a seamless, customised blend of the two.
The company has recently built shining examples of both styles, tailoring them for the Western Australian lifestyle and environment.
In Applecross, the aptly named Long Island showcases traditional Hamptons design. A substantial five-bedroom residence that includes a butler's kitchen, formal dining room, 'great room' and guest suite, it is luxurious, sophisticated and perfectly unpretentious.
In Dalkeith, Oswald Homes infused classic elegance with the old-world charm of the French countryside to create a stunning four-bedroom home that was originally designed as a display, but was quickly snapped up by eager buyers who fell in love with its relaxed charm and elegantly crafted details.
Brook Leber, Principal Designer at Oswald Homes, says the traditional charm and classic detailing of the Hamptons and French Provincial styles appeal to many Oswald Homes clients.
"Whether they want a custom design are choosing a floor plan from our edition range, they know they can rely on Oswald Homes' unerring eye for detail to deliver the style of home they are looking for," Brook says. | commoncrawl | 5 | 1 | 5 | 2 |
BkiUdyU4eIXh70-IxtV7 | A GREENER 2022
Huddersfield New College has started 2022 by revealing the winners of the recent Carbon Footprint competition. The College is also encouraging students to take inspiration from the current Veganuary campaign and try out some new recipes when enjoying a meat free day per week.
All students at HNC are invited to play their part in tackling climate change by signing the College's Green Pledge. This has a focus on how if we all take small, manageable steps we can collectively have a huge impact on climate change. As part of the pledge, students and staff commit to avoiding single use plastics, recycling more, having a meat free day per week, becoming a more conscious consumer and walking, cycling and car sharing where possible.
Just before the Christmas break students were invited to calculate their own carbon footprint using the WWF calculator, and share one way they will work to reduce it in 2022. All students who did so were placed into a draw to win a reusable Chilly water bottle which were given out at the end of term. Our winners were revealed as Laura K, Adam K, Mariam G, Jessica McG and Huzaifah J – some of the winners are pictured above with their prizes. Students shared a wide range of ways they'd be reducing their carbon footprint in 2022, ranging from walking and recycling more, avoiding fast fashion and investing in clothes from sites such as Deepop and purchasing locally produced produce.
As becoming a greener College community is a long term objective, HNC will be hosting regular events as part of the drive to become a greener College in 2022, including extending our tree planting scheme.
As part of this students in our Aspire tutorial sessions have also been exploring Veganuary, and how reducing meat consumption can support them to lead a greener lifestyle.
Sarah Newton, Chair of the College's Green Group comments: "The HNC Green Pledge is about encouraging everyone to take small, manageable steps to help tackle the climate change crisis. As a College we've taken a number of steps since the pledge was launched ranging from planting over 300 trees, ensuring more of our waste is recycled and implementing energy saving measures."
"Whilst of course becoming vegan or vegetarian will not be for everyone, even just having one meat free day a week can make a huge difference. Animal agriculture accounts for 37% of emissions. If everyone in the UK had one meat free day per week, it is estimated emissions would reduce by 8% - the equivalent of taking 16 million cars off the road. There's some great recipes out there, and some fantastic plant based options and we hope that our staff and students will try a meat free recipe out this month. We believe that as a 3000 strong community if we make some small lifestyle adjustments we can have a big impact. We look forward to sharing more about how we will be continue to be working towards being a greener HNC in 2022!" | commoncrawl | 5 | 1 | 5 | 2 |

BkiUd7I4eIZijinjA-5r | Q: Is it possible to pass hints to database? Using rails 2.3.4, is it possible to pass a hint to the database optimizer? I would like to be able to force the use of a particular index for testing purposes.
I have (legacy code, yes it smells) :
with_exclusive_scope {
succeeded.average(:elapsed,
:conditions => ["date between ? and ? ", month_start, month_end],
:joins =>["LEFT OUTER JOIN update_phases proot on (updates.id=proot.update_id AND proot.phase_id=#{UpdatePhaseType.find_by_name("update").id} and proot.started_at between '#{month_start.to_s(:db)}' and '#{month_end.to_s(:db)}')",
"INNER JOIN profiles ON updates.profile_id = profiles.id and profiles.customer_instance_id=#{customer_instance.id}"],
:group =>'date', :order =>'date')
}
and would like to be able to tack on force index for join(profile_date_state_activity) to the end of the FROM clause.
Failing that, I need an average_by_sql method...
A: You can use the :from attribute to modify the SQL statement that is generated. I'm not sure what your table name is here, so in the snippet below replace "table" with that table name.
with_exclusive_scope {
succeeded.average(:elapsed,
:from => "table force index for join(profile_date_state_activity)",
:conditions => ["date between ? and ? ", month_start, month_end],
:joins =>["LEFT OUTER JOIN update_phases proot on
etc.
FYI in my environment the SQL statement was generated correctly and ran successfully, returning expected data, but I don't have conclusive PROOF that the hint is actually being used.

BkiUd0Y5qhLBINsxup3A | Q: Django: Handling cases where user enters wrong URL patterns to result in 404 How can i prevent the user from entering in url values that does not exist in database. For instance cars have an id, so to navigate to a car would be
http://127.0.0.1:8000/car/1, and if user enters an id that does not exist then it returns 404, how can i handle this?
urlpatterns = [
path('', include('index.urls')),
path('cars/', include('car.urls')),
path('users/', include('user.urls')),
path('admin/', admin.site.urls),
]
This is a part of my Car view, because i have search_car too and that is kinda long:
def get_car_by_id(request, id):
cars = Car.objects.all()
car_types = CarCategory.objects.all()
context = {'apartments': apartments, 'car_types': car_types,
'car': get_object_or_404(Car, pk=id)}
return render(
request, 'car/single_car.html', context
)
A: def get_car_by_id(request, id):
cars = Car.objects.all()
car_types = CarCategory.objects.all()
context = {'apartments': apartments, 'car_types': car_types,
'car': get_object_or_404(Car, pk=id)}
return render(
request, 'car/single_car.html', context
)
You are using the get_object_or_404 shortcut. This is a common approach, and means that Django will show the 404 page instead of crashing when the object does not exist. You will only see the real 404 page when DEBUG = False in your settings. When you have DEBUG = True then you will see the yellow 404 page to help debug the problem.
If you really don't want to display the 404 page, then you shouldn't use get_object_or_404. You could catch the DoesNotExist exception instead.
def get_car_by_id(request, id):
cars = Car.objects.all()
car_types = CarCategory.objects.all()
try:
car = Car.objects.get(pk=id)
except Car.DoesNotExist:
car = None
context = {'apartments': apartments, 'car_types': car_types,
'car': car }
return render(
request, 'car/single_car.html', context
)
Now you can check {% if car %} in your template, and display a suitable error message.

BkiUdTE4eIXhvb74PX1V | SALON, Saatchi Gallery's commercial exhibition space, launched earlier this year aiming to present the work of leading international artists who have had limited exposure in the UK. Its latest exhibition Calder on Paper: 1960 – 1976 is staged in collaboration with Mayfair's Omer Tiroche Gallery and presents a large variety of Alexander Calder's vibrant gouaches on paper.
The white walls of the SALON Gallery are brought to life by these colourful and jazzy images created by Calder (1898-1976) during the 1960s and 70s, and one of his infamous mobiles hangs from the ceiling for good measure. In the late 1920s, Calder pioneered a new method of sculpting and manipulating wire to 'draw' figures/shapes in space in tune with early constructivist art as well as abstract painting. It was after coming into contact with Surrealism that Calder took an interest in organic movement; he cited Miró as an important influence and his work exhibits the same buoyancy, wit and whimsy, conveying a sense of movement through serpentine, unbroken lines. Indeed, his kinetic sculptures aimed to capture the constant motion of life and Marcel Duchamp was the first to describe these works as 'mobiles'.
Calder's gouaches reveal a mastery of line, balance of composition and a preference for primary colours. These elements combine to form pulsating works of art often abstract in nature. As the extract above from Calder makes clear, it was not a specific conception of his own that needed to be passed to the viewer, as long as the image allowed the viewer to form their own connections and associations.
Indeed, the SALON exhibition presents a wide variety of gouaches made during the last sixteen years of his life, thus combining a mature language of shapes and forms which almost act as symbols albeit non-prescriptive. The works continue the angularity and kinecticism present in his sculptures, presenting a synthesis of these geometric forms with representational subjects. A regular feature are pyramids (a recurring motif following a flight over Egypt) which appear among fiery suns and spiralling vortices.
These works really do give a glimpse of Calder's personal observations and impressions of the solar system, the animal world, primitive civilisations and basic geometric figures such as spirals, circles and triangles. Delighting in nature and evoking the subconscious, Calder celebrated essential yet enigmatic forms in an array of ochres, yellows, and vermilion, a vivid palette reserved for a lifetime of spontaneous impressions. Often creating new forms and works by rearranging his extant visual vocabulary, he maintained a sense of playfulness and humour throughout his career.
Alongside this presentation, Omer Tiroche Gallery, Mayfair, London, will show a collection of earlier works on paper by the artist dating from 1939 to 1959. Exhibiting work from two separate periods of Calder's career serves to create a comprehensive retrospective of his gouaches. It also ensures that a greater number of works will be on display across the two spaces – both familiar and unfamiliar to the viewer – which in turn greater elucidates Calder's contribution to the development of modern art. | c4 | 5 | 2 | 5 | 2 |
BkiUa645qsNCPf8Mvlf5 | Metric conversion where two units (numerator and denominator) are converted
Return to Metric Table of Contents
Metric conversion where only one unit is converted
Go to 10 two-unit metric problems
Doing this type of problem is simply a succession of conversions from one unit to another. You first convert one side of the fraction, say, the numerator, then you do the denominator.
Often, a teacher will present these solutions as one long string of conversions. You also see this type of presentation in textbooks. It can be quite confusing when you first see it.
This technique is called "dimensional analysis" (the older term), with "factor label method" being the newer term. DA can also called "unitary conversions," or "unitary rates." The word unitary comes from the idea that the numerator and the denominator in a conversion fact both describe the same quantity.
As an example, take this conversion factor:
1000 mL / 1 L
Both 1000 mL and 1 L describe the same-sized volume, so 1000 mL / 1 L is referred to as a unitary rate. Since 1000 mL and 1 L describe the same volume, we can think of 1000 mL / 1 L as being like multiplying some number by 1. The description of the volume changes units, but it still describes the same sized volume.
The ChemTeam tends to present two-unit conversion problems as a sequence of one-step calculations. However, I will also reference the one-line type presentation that is often used. On a professional basis, I do not believe the one-line approach is the proper tool to use when teaching these types of problems. There are those that disagree with me.
Doing DA problems, to me, are like balancing equations or predicting products of a reaction. There are LOTS of little bits that you have to remember and, when that is the case, experience is really, really important. The problem you would face is to be able to read a one-line solution and back-track to the logic the writer used. That can be difficult, especially for a rookie.
Conclusion: lots of examples for you to study!
Example #1: Convert the speed of light (3.00 x 108 m/sec) to km/year.
We'll start with the numerator, since that's an easy, one step conversion.
This gives an answer of 3.00 x 105 km/sec.
Now, we have to focus on converting seconds to years. This is done in a step-by-step manner. For example, I happen to have memorized that there are 3600 seconds in one hour. So, we do that conversion.
Continuing the calculations, we move step-by-step to days and then to years (we can skip months, since we know how many days there are in a year.
Converting to scientific notation and rounding to three significant figures, we get 9.46 x 1012 km/yr as the answer.
If I were to present it as a one-line type calculation (the usual presentation form in dimensional analysis), it would be this:
3.00 x 108 m/s x (1 km / 1000 m) x (3600 s / hr) x (24 hr / day) x (365 day / yr)
One advantage to the above presentation is that you simply carry out the steps in sequence (divide by 1000, multiply by 3600, mult by 24 and mult by 365) on your calculator and then round off.
Doing it step-by-step results in intermediate answers along the way, but I think it's better to teach the steps rather than confront a student with the one-line setup right from the start of instruction.
Notes on variations of the above problem:
1) Notice that I used 365 days rather than 365.25. Using the latter figure results in an answer of 9.46728 x 1012 km/yr, which rounds off to 9.47 x 1012 km/yr.
2) This problem can start with cm/s rather than m/s. The speed of light in cm/s is 3.00 x 1010 cm/s.
3) Often, this problem ends in km/hr. Another common question asks for the conversion from cm/s to km/hr.
Example #2: Light travels at a speed of 3.00 x 1010 cm/s. What is the speed of light in kilometers/hours?
1) Convert cm/s to km/s:
3.00 x 1010 cm/s times (1 m / 100 cm) times (1 km / 1000 m) = 3.00 x 105 km/s
2) Convert seconds to hours:
3.00 x 105 km/s times (60 s / 1 min) times (60 min / 1 hr) = 1.08 x 109 km/hr
3) A slightly more compact version:
3.00 x 1010 cm/s times (1 km / 105 cm) = 3.00 x 105 km/s
3.00 x 105 km/s times (3600 s / 1 hr) = 1.08 x 109 km/hr
Example #3: Convert 64.3 g/mL to its equivalent in kg/L.
1) Convert grams to kilograms:
64.3 g/mL x (1 kg/1000 g) = 0.0643 kg/mL
2) Convert mL to L:
0.0643 kg/mL x (1000 mL/L) = 64.3 kg/L
Comment: teachers like to ask this type of question on tests. The ChemTeam did!
Example #4: A cylindrical piece of metal is 4.50 dm in height with radius of 5.50 x 10¯5 km.
a) Calculate the volume in milliliters to the correct significant figures given V = π r2 h for a cylinder.
b) Calculate the volume in mm3
c) Calculate the density in units g/L to the correct number of significant figures given it has a mass of 6.54 x 105 grams
The key to solving part a is to remember that cm3 and mL are the same volume, so 1 cm3 = 1 mL. So, if we convert both measurements of the cylinder to cm, like this:
then, all we need to do is plug our numbers into the volume formula provided to get cm3. We find that the height converts to 45.0 cm and the radius to 5.50 cm. Solving for the volume gives 4276.5 cm3. Converting to proper sig figs and mL gives 4280 mL.
Part b: the unit we need on the height and radius is mm, so convert 45.0 cm to 450 mm and 5.50 cm to 55.0 mm. Then plug back into the same formula as part a.
Or, you could notice that both numbers got increased by a factor of 10 and then within the volume formula, there is a total factor increase of 103.
That means the answer to part b is the answer to part a times 1000 or 4.28 x 106 mm3.
Part c: we have to take our mL volume to liters. You SHOULD already know how do that. 4.28 L is the answer. So we then divide 6.54 x 105 by 4.28 L to get 1.53 x 105 grams / L.
Example #5: Convert 4.09 x 10-6 kg/L to mg/cm3 using dimensional analysis.
When dimensional analysis is specified in a problem, the usual answer desired is in the form of all the conversions gathered together into one line. I will build the final answer up one conversion at a time. Each comment with an arrow is about the last conversion in each line.
4.09 x 10-6 kg/L x (1000 g / kg) <--- converts kg to g
4.09 x 10-6 kg/L x (1000 g / kg) x (1000 mg / 1 g) <--- converts g to mg
4.09 x 10-6 kg/L x (1000 g / kg) x (1000 mg / 1 g) x (1 L / 1000 mL) <--- converts L to mL
4.09 x 10-6 kg/L x (1000 g / kg) x (1000 mg / 1 g) x (1 L / 1000 mL) x (1 cm3/mL) <--- converts mL to cm3
the answer is 0.00409 mg/cm3
Notice that the above conversion converted through the base unit of grams, as in kg to g, then g to mg. You can combine those two conversions if so desired:
4.09 x 10-6 kg/L x (106 mg / kg) x (1 L / 1000 mL) x (1 cm3/mL) = 0.00409 mg/cm3
The difference is stylistic only. Some teachers prefer one method over the other, others do not care. Be sure to check what your teacher desires.
Example #6a: Convert 303 mi/hr to feet/min.
V = ( 303 mi/hr ) ( 1 hr / 60 min ) ( 5280 ft / mile ) = 26600 ft/min
303 mi 1 hr 5280 ft
––––––– x ––––––– x ––––––– = 26664 ft/min
1 hr 60 min 1 mi
The hr/min factor converts 303 mi per hr to 5.05 mi per min.
The ft/mi factor converts 5.05 mi per min to 26664 ft per min.
The factors used algebraically cancel units to give the units wanted.
The final answer is 26700 ft/s. It has been rounded off to three significant figures. Note that this example uses English units. The principles of converting are the same as with metric units.
Example #6b: Convert 303 mi/hr to feet/second.
The dimensional analysis set-up will be presented without comment.
303 mi 1 hr 1 min 5280 ft
––––––– x ––––––– x ––––––– x ––––––– = 444 ft/s <--- rounded to 3 sig figs
1 hr 60 min 60 sec 1 mi
Bonus Example: The SI unit for density is kg/m3. Convert the density of platinum (21450 kg/m3) to the more commonly-used unit of g/cm3
1) Convert kg/m3 to g/m3:
(21450 kg/m3) (1000 g / 1 kg) = 21450000 g/m3
2) Convert g/m3 to g/cm3
(21450000 kg/m3) (1 m3 / 1003 cm3) = 21.45 g/cm3
Note the use of 1003. 1 m3 is a cube 100 cm on a side: 100 cm x 100 cm x 100 cm = 1003 cm3.
3) Many teachers that teach dimensional analysis want the solution in one line of calculation steps:
(21450 kg/m3) (1000 g / 1 kg) (1 m3 / 1003 cm3) = 21.45 g/cm3
Note the interim values/units such as 21450000 g/m3 do not appear in a one-line dimensional analysis presentation.
Textbooks will often present a dimensional analysis set-up in this manner:
21450 kg 1000 g 1 m3
––––––– x ––––––– x ––––––– = 21.45 g/cm3
1 m3 1 kg 1003 cm3
Your teacher may require it in that manner as well. One of the advantages to the above set-up is that it's much more obvious which units cancel. For example, you can clearly see the kg in the numerator of the first factor and in the denominator of the second factor.
Comment: it is easy to imagine a situation (test or homework) where, in the problem, you are given the density of a substance in units of kg/m3 but, in the problem solution, you must use the density in units of g/cm3. Consequently, I recommend that the above conversion be in your "bag of tricks."
By the way, please notice that the net effect of the above conversion is to divide the kg/m3 value by 1000 to get the g/cm3 value. if you are not required to show the conversion as I did above, you can use the 'divide by 1000" step as a convenient shortcut. | commoncrawl | 5 | 4 | 4 | 5 |
BkiUdbM5qYVBVLDkl-ua | 2015 Dodge Charger SRT 392
Still capable of raising some hell.
Steve Siler
When Dodge took us to a hangar in Washington, D.C., and offered the keys to any of its freshened 2015 Charger sedans, we could have taken the raucous new 707-hp Charger SRT Hellcat first. But we purposely started the day in the SRT 392, somewhat afraid that we might never again be satisfied with its 485 horsepower after driving the world's most powerful production sedan. We needn't have worried.
It turns out that the Hellcat leaves a lot of room for fun under its long shadow, the first indication of which came when we brought to life the 392's naturally aspirated 6.4-liter Hemi and its delicious rumble echoed through the building. No car that sounds this good can be all that bad, right?
Right. Within a mile, we were laughing hysterically, drunk on torque—some 475 lb-ft of the stuff—and bruising past less-powerful cars, which was pretty much everything that hadn't been Hellcatted. We also wondered aloud if our licenses would survive the trip to Summit Point Motorsports Park in West Virginia, at which point we'd get to drive on the track.
On the Straight and Narrow
Eventually, we stopped terrorizing locals, started behaving like adults, and took inventory of the experience. Steering tactility: good. Road feel: enough to communicate the surface texture, and the overly harsh default ride quality we noted in the old SRT 392's comparison-test loss to the Chevy SS was conspicuous by its absence. Fiddling with the SRT Performance Pages functions on the center-stack screen allowed us to add weight to the steering, which was good for self-centering and muscle-building but not much else. We also dialed up the firmness of the Bilstein shocks; the Sport mode provides a little better connection to the road but the Track mode is rather too stiff for the street.
Powertrain behavior is also adjustable. It ranges from perfectly benign in Street mode to revvy, snappy, and tail-happy in Track mode. The latter ups throttle sensitivity, delivers near-instantaneous upshifts and rev-matched downshifts from the eight-speed automatic (it replaces last year's five-speed auto), and activates very liberal stability-control parameters. Oh yeah, and it unleashes the exhaust note from hell. Or Hellcat, more accurately: The Charger SRT 392 and Hellcat share a straight-through exhaust system with electronically variable valves and an exclusive mid-muffler to give a slightly more refined sound inside the cabin than their Challenger counterparts. Dodge says there's no impact to performance, since the back pressure is the same. And we can say the Charger is still wonderfully loud at full tilt. The SRT 392 quiets down sufficiently when cruising, however.
Also shared with the Hellcat are the SRT 392's eyeball-ejecting brakes, which include new six-piston front Brembo calipers pinching 15.4-inch discs, up from four-piston calipers on 14.2-inch rotors on the '14 model. The rears remain four-piston Brembo calipers with 13.8-inch discs. These were particularly appreciated when we eventually made it to Summit Point—license still in our wallet—and took to the track in both SRT models. With a 0-to-60-mph time estimated in the low-four-second range, the SRT 392 became an instant face-lift machine each time we pounced on the gas pedal.
From the outset, we knew that the SRT had zero chance of out-thrilling the ungodly Hellcat, but that didn't stop it from being a hoot. Flat out on the front straight, the speedometer crept over 130 mph—not quite the 150 mph or so we saw in the Hellcat but still spectacularly fast for a car of this size. More remarkable was how little daylight exists between the SRT 392 and the Hellcat in terms of ultimate grip and steering feel. This latter point is notable, given that the 392's steering is electrically boosted versus the Hellcat's hydraulic setup. Some credit must be given to the aggressive Track mode and the grippy three-season 275/40R-20 Pirelli P Zeros worn by our test car.
That said, you never forget that you're driving a 4400-pound full-size sedan; that's roughly 50 pounds heavier than the 2014 model, itself no dainty petunia. The front-to-rear weight distribution is a more neutral 54/46 versus 56/44 for the Hellcat, though, yielding slightly better balance.
It's a Certifiably Nice Car
However portly, the steroidal Charger has never before been a nicer car in which to spend time or to look at. Much was done, says Dodge, to reduce the visual hugeness of all Charger models, starting with trimming the corners of the bumpers, dropping the height of the nose, and elongating the C-pillars. All body panels, save the roof and the rear door skins, were replaced for '15. Both Hellcat and 392 models wear an SRT-specific nose that looks menacing and clean, as well as a wide rear bumper with outboard air extractors, a diffuser, and dual four-inch exhaust tips. The interior, likewise, is graced with upgrades that take it further upscale, and SRT models include a meaty, flat-bottom steering wheel and thick, supportive front thrones.
Like the Hellcat, the Charger SRT 392 faces little competition; the most direct contender is the aforementioned Chevrolet SS, which, at 415 horsepower and 415 lb-ft of torque, trails the Dodge by 70 ponies and 60 lb-ft but is more than 400 pounds lighter. The SS has a trump card of its own in the form of a newly available six-speed manual transmission. The Dodge's new interior, however, could also factor into which of them is the more appealing sub-$50K supersled.
A base price of $48,380 offers 16,610 other reasons to be okay with the SRT 392 if you can't find the scratch for a $64,990 Hellcat. The value story becomes even more interesting with the Charger R/T Scat Pack, which boasts the SRT 392's massive 6.4-liter SRT engine and beefed-up eight-speed automatic but does without the luxe interior appointments, adjustable suspension, and hyperaggressive styling, all for $40,990. We expect to strap our test equipment to the SRT 392 soon to see how close it can get to the Hellcat's prodigious performance, but whatever the results, this car is no mere consolation prize.

BkiUdt425V5i1dkg31BI | Q: jQuery: Append element to inputfield and remove? I'm trying to append and remove element in the inputfield.
I can simply append them and it works fine but I don't know hwy it doesn't get deleted/removed when I needed it to!
To explain this issue I have created this fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/hrL3gn1g/2/
if you click on the images, it will append the element in the div Slevel as well as the inputfield.
If you click on the elements inside the Div, it should delete/remove the element or string from inside the inputfield but it doesn't
could someone please advise on this issue?
A: You can try this:
$(document).on('click', '.pricetag',function(){
var names = $(this).attr('data-name');
var price = $(this).attr('data-price');
// Create the value you want to remove
var html = '<span data-price="'+price+'" data-name="'+names+'" class="pricetag">'+names+'</span>';
// Replace that value with empty string
var newValue = $('#Finalized').val().replace(html,'')
// Insert new value
$("#Finalized").val(newValue);
});
A: as i see , you try to remove the words(orange,apple etc) by using $(<input>).remove(<span>), but you cant do this in that way.instead of this , i remove the selected <span> element.
i changed a little the click listener function to this one:
//when the user click on a word
$(document).on('click', '.pricetag',function(){
//this is the <span> element that the user clicked to delete
$(this).remove();
});
i changed the jsfiddle : http://jsfiddle.net/tornado1979/hrL3gn1g/3/
hope helps,good luck.

BkiUfanxK0wg09lKEi07 | • As a service to our customers, Bradley will arrange the shipping of orders via one of our preferred carriers. All charges are PROFORMA and will be included on the final balance due notice.
• If the customer chooses to manage their own freight and delivery, BRADLEY must be notified of the specific details of the movement. The fee to move the product from a manufacturer to a terminal for "customer's own" pick-up will be added to the balance due. All product is moved through a Bill of Lading (BOL). The location of the pick-up by the client or the client's agent may trigger sales tax responsibility at that location.
• Ownership of the product transfers to the customer (owner) upon the freight carrier taking possession of the order for transport. Therefore, responsibility for damage occurring in-transit is the owner's and all claims for freight damage must be made within 72 hours of receipt.
• If customer selects their own freight carrier, freight claims must be filed directly with the selected carrier. Bradley is not responsible for a customer's own or third party freight damage and claim.
• Bradley highly recommends using a qualified receiving warehouse to receive, inspect, consolidate deliveries and facilitate in-home installation. Bradley will recommend a receiver for client if needed. All crated goods must go through a professional receiver such as a receiving warehouse. A receiving warehouse acts as an agent for the client and is responsible to note any damage and assist the owner with filing a freight claim when any damage is found. A qualified receiving person should be present to accept products when delivered directly to a home.
• A signature on the BOL upon receipt of the products confirms that the products are received in good condition unless exception is made on the BOL. If the merchandise is refused upon delivery for quality or damage issues, the receiver should contact the showroom of purchase immediately.
• If the driver must "drop and dash", the receiver should note on the BOL that any concealed damage of boxed or crated products will be the responsibility of the carrier or the manufacturer as determined upon inspection of the product. Full inspection must occur within 48 hours of delivery and all freight claims filed within 72 hours.
• Inspect the cartons or crates carefully. Check to see if the ShockWatch™ and or Tip-N-Tell indicators are activated. If there is any visible damage to the packaging or the indicator is activated, note it on the BOL. Take photos of any damage to the packaging, this is necessary to resolve damage claims.
• Inspect the Bradley branded tape seal. If it is not intact or it is covered over, you should assume the package has been tampered with. Note this on the BOL.
• Unpack the cartons or crates. Inspect all merchandise carefully. Cartons and crates should always be unpacked in your presence. NEVER discard original packaging until satisfied with the delivery.
• If you are unable to inspect the merchandise at the time of receiving the shipment, note on the BOL that any concealed damage of boxed or crated products will be the responsibility of the carrier or the manufacturer as determined upon inspection of the products. Bradley must be notified within 48 hours of any concealed damage that is found. Keep a copy of the BOL. Save the packaging material and take pictures of the damage.
• All claims should be reported to the customer service manager at the Bradley showroom of purchase.
• Products are inspected by the manufacturer prior to release to ensure that the order is in good condition, complete, and ready for shipment.
• The carrier is responsible for a complete inspection of the products at the point of origin. Any damage must be noted on the BOL. The signed BOL is confirmation by the carrier that they have accepted responsibility for delivering the products in the condition in which they were received. Inspection of the boxed or crated products are limited to the exterior of the packages. Exceptions must be noted and the packages opened at once if the condition of the cartons or crates appear compromised.
Do not attempt a return without first having obtained a Bradley written authorization.
Bradley will not accept returns without prior written authorization.
• Per ICC Regulations, ownership of the product transfers to the customer (owner) upon the freight carrier taking possession of the order for transport.

BkiUfQm6NNjgBvv4QycX | Beauty By Shannon: Hair Care Routine for Hip Length Curly Dry hair.
Today we are talking HAIR! My hair specifically. I have very thick, (To the point I have, multiple times gone to the hair dresser and gotten it thinned out!) Curly, Dry, and Long hair!
In the shower: I will wash my bangs/scalp with either Clear hydrating cream shampoo, or Dove Oxygen Moisture shampoo. Both of these shampoo's leave my hair feeling non greasy, but they don't give that SQUEEKY clean feeling. My hair feels soft and fluffy! I DO NOT wash the length/tips of my hair!
Then, I will go in with Either Aussie Moist conditioner if it's the summer. But if it's fall/winter, I'll go in with BE Argan Oil hair mask, or my all time favourite, holy grail conditioner, AKA John Frieda Shea Butter hair mask. The shea butter hair mask is SO thick, I like to buy packs of this mask at a time and debaggy it into a plastic container, where I will scoop out as much as I need! All of these masks leave a NOTICEABLE difference in my hair!
After the shower: I will "Wring" out my hair in the bathtub after turning the water off to get excess water out. Then I'll get out and wrap my hair up in a towel.
After It's been in the towel for 5 to 10 minutes, I'll shake it out, and lightly rub the towel over my lengths to get any extra, left over water!
THEN, I'll part my hair. And take a pump of Macadamia Nourishing Curl Creme and spread that from my ears to my tips, lightly scrunching as I go.
I'll then take 5ish sprays of Arganistry Keratin Smoothing Leave in Conditioner into my palm, then pat my hands together and smooth this Keratin Leave in conditioner from my breast area length to my tips!
Lastly, I'll take 3 pumps of this Garnier Oil. I USUALLY Use HASK hair oils. As those are my favourites. But My walmart was sold out of them, so I'v been using up this. I'll take the 3 pumps, spread the thick oil over both hands, and massage this into my very tips for extra moisture!
For hold: I'll use this Herbal Essences Naked "flexible hold" Spritzer. It's basically a very low hold hair spray! I'll use this in my bangs when I wear them down. Or when my hair is in a bun I'll spray this all over to give light hold!
For heat protection: I'll use this Got2b "Mind Blowing Styling spray" It's for protecting your hair from heat damage when blow drying. But I NEVER use a hair dryer. I use this for when I flat iron my hair, and my hair always is left shiny, and soft when I flat iron with this!
Dry Shampoo: I wash my scalp twice a week with the shampoo's up top. The rest of the time, I sprinkle with Grapefruit scented dry shampoo powder into my palms, and then massage this into my scalp! This is SUCH a good value for your money compared to spray dry shampoos. I was going through 2 cans a month of spray dry shampoo. This, i'v owned for 6 months. And it's not even 1/4 used up. I love the scent, and the way this soaks up excess oil without stripping and leaving a very white, powdery look in my dark hair!
Lastly, my Flat Iron! I use Avanri (???) Ultra Nano-Silver Flat iron! I bought this flat iron in a salon in my town, EIGHT years ago. This bad boy is AMAZING. It goes up to 250+ degree's, it doesn't leave my hair all static-y, nor does it fry my hair off.
I personally think, it's 1000% worth it to invest in a great flat iron, and heat protection spray/cream.
This is my hair flat ironed! When it's natural it's a LOT shorter haha! | c4 | 3 | 1 | 4 | 1 |
BkiUb7rxK1ThhAqzVXeD | Q: A problem with the foreign key in pivot table Laravel
SQLSTATE[23000]: Integrity constraint violation: 1452 Cannot add or
update a child row: a foreign key constraint fails
(acl.report_saved, CONSTRAINT report_saved_user_id_foreign
FOREIGN KEY (user_id) REFERENCES users (id)) (SQL: insert into
report_saved (created_at, report_id, updated_at, user_id)
values (2020-11-25 12:06:20, 10, 2020-11-25 12:06:20, 10))
I have two models: user and report and I've created a report_saved pivot table which has the report_id, user_id and timestamps columns.
I know the naming convention for the pivot table but in this case, I want my custom pivot table to be saved as report_saved.
This is the report model relationship:
public function users()
{
return $this->belongsToMany(User::class, 'report_saved', 'report_id', 'user_id')->withTimestamps();
}
The route for attaching the saved report:
Route::get('save/reports/{reports:slug}/{users:id}', [LandingPageController::class,'save_report'])->name('save.report');
The controller method:
public function saveReport(Request $request)
{
$reports = Report::findOrFail(request('reports'));
$report_id = $posts->id;
$user_id = auth()->id();
$reports->users()->sync([$report_id, $user_id]);
return back();
}
Can anyone give me any suggestions on what I did wrong?

BkiUdxU5qhLBU-R-ypoD | Am I Going To Hell - Are You In Danger Of Eternal Hell Fire?
Have you ever asked yourself am i going to hell or wondered if there were certain things that you did or could be doing that could stop you from getting into heaven?
If so then listen to this.
Most people put a lot of effort into being like others around them. We also tend to follow the thoughts or opinions of society through television, movies, books and the internet. People just have a natural tendency to just want to fit in.
But, as believers we are under particular scrutiny, especially by people who do not share our faith.
We should be Holy because we should reflect God's character, He is our heavenly father, He has created us, He has chosen us as His own, therefore we should be Holy because He wants us to be like Him.
So instead of trying to fit into society we should be concentrating our efforts on fitting into God's plan and likewise getting others to fit into His plan as well.
1 Corinthians 10:31-32 "Therefore whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God. Give no offence, either to the Jews, or to the Greeks, or to the church of God."
God wants us to take seriously the privilege of representing Christ in our homes, communities, and workplaces.
But the question is why are we more likely to be more concerned about what others might think or say about us if we stand up for God in these situations?
What we lack in most cases is a healthy fear of God. This fear of the Lord would enable us to resist sin as well as risk the wrath and ridicule of the unbelievers and the wicked who take up most of the common views in our society, which are contrary to what we believe.
That fear of the lord will give us courage, direction, and motivation to make tough choices and live with Godly behavior despite the consequences brought to us by the wicked.
We know from scripture that God is a God of love who shows mercy to sinners but the book of psalms indicates that He hates people who commit iniquity and wickedness.
God definitely gets angry at sin that injures and destroys His creation, but God's righteousness is not a fit of anger. It is rather a carefully considered application of a just disapproval and penalty against wrong doing.
In fact if you give up sin to the best of your ability the lord will honor your prayer's more, show you more miracles, and bless you more often than not.
Isaiah 59:1-2 "Behold, the LORD'S hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear: But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear.
He takes our sin seriously; therefore, we need to take His Holiness seriously. Delight in God's law, meditate and commit to God's ways.
This includes defending God and making a stand against anyone who would have us do otherwise. Which also includes mom, dad, brother, sister, best friend, teacher, and so on and so forth. Take a look at what Jesus has to say about this .
Matthew 10:34-36 "Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword. For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law. And a man's foes shall be they of his own household."
But Wait, Jesus also goes on to say the following.
Those who wish to take up their cross and follow Jesus must pay the price of repentance.
Repentance is merely saying "I am sorry for my sins" and actually meaning it. It may also be accomplished by tears and a sad countenance but true repentance means turning from wicked ways, from thoughts or acts that displease God and turning toward a life that reflects Godly ways.
Psalms 5:4. "For You are not a God who takes pleasure in wickedness, nor shall evil dwell with You."
It's common today for us to excuse our faults with the attitude, "No body's perfect" or say "God will forgive me of my sins". While these are true and can be used to argue a point of no one person being better than another no matter how good they think they are, because "All fall short of the glory of God". It should not be used as an excuse to continue sinning if you understand what you are doing is wrong.
Most importantly, try to be strong and diligent in keeping God's word and don't let anyone change your mind concerning the doing of God's will because your salvation may depend on it. | c4 | 4 | 2 | 4 | 2 |
BkiUfnfxK3YB9m8SZ3u8 | Media Statement from Rt Rev'd Victoria Matthews
Friday, 4 September 2015, 9:26 am
Press Release: Anglican Church in Aotearoa
The Bishop of Christchurch, the Rt Rev'd Victoria Matthews made the following statement to the Diocesan Synod in the Transitional Cathedral at the conclusion of the Synod Eucharist.
I stand here this evening pleased to make an announcement about progress on the future of ChristChurch Cathedral in the Square.
The Diocese and the Church Property Trustees (CPT) have been concerned at the time it has taken to confirm the plan to return to ChristChurch Cathedral in the Square.
Just to restate our situation: we own 290 buildings of which 230 were damaged. The Cathedral in the Square has caused the biggest media frenzy. In the midst of many people telling us how to proceed, we have not wanted disproportionate resources focused on the Cathedral especially when we have wider responsibilities in Christian leadership. We must remember the many people who still reside and work in badly damaged buildings, those whose lives were irrevocably changed by injuries caused by the quakes, and those who lost loved ones.
But we are also aware that indecision about the future of ChristChurch Cathedral is having a significant effect on the re-birth of Christchurch from the centre outward.
A CPT delegation discussed these matters with government ministers. The Government responded by making a generous offer of an independent consultant who will engage with the experts representing both the Church Property Trustees and the Great Christchurch Building Trust. The Government does acknowledge the need for a safe and liturgically appropriate worship space whilst recognising the city's need for an identifying symbol in Cathedral Square.
CPT has agreed to participate on the proviso that it is not financially responsible for the cost of the consultant or any outcomes.
It is my hope and commitment that before Christmas we will know the details about the future of ChristChurch Cathedral as well as the larger Diocesan recovery plan.

La Reserva de Sotogrande to host new Ladies
European Tour event in May
The Ladies European Tour continues to expand its European footprint with the addition of a third tournament in Spain this year.
The 'La Reserva de Sotogrande Invitational' will be played at La Reserva Club, Sotogrande, in San Roque, Cadiz, on 16 to 19 May, 2019.
The full-field event will play a key part in the race for European Solheim Cup Team qualification and will mark the first of three visits to Spain for the LET in 2019, followed by the Estrella Damm Mediterranean Ladies Open at Club de Golf Terramar in Sitges and the season-ending Andalucia Costa del Sol Open de España Femenino at Aloha Golf Club in Marbella.
The €300,000 tournament will be staged over Sotogrande's newest championship golf course, which is nestled between the Mediterranean Sea and the densely wooded Andalusian hills, built on a birds' nest escarpment with stunning vistas across the coastline. Designed in 2003 by Cabell B. Robinson, the 18-hole championship golf course is part of the next chapter in Sotogrande's remarkable story and the vision for a dynamic future.

BkiUdV84ubng4IUB1DSa | 1. I turned in a review, early! I got to it early because it was the only paper galley I had on hand. The rest are all electronic, and I couldn't get the Kindle reader app to work this weekend, so I am just waiting for the new Kindle to be delivered this week (it is in transit). Hopefully, everything will transfer over just fine. I have officially de-registered the busted one.
2. Last week, I submitted two stories! One of them I'd been working on all month, for a June 1 deadline. Then I got sick and went to WisCon, so had to push a little to get it done. But I got it in on time, and right in the middle of the requested wordcount. Then an editor with whom I'd worked before needed some additional stories for a particular anthology with specific requirements. I dug out the beginning of something I'd worked on earlier this year - I didn't finish so missed the deadline I was going for - and was able to rework what I had to fit the requirements. Then I finished it really fast, coming in just above the minimum required wordcount. The editor liked it, but final decisions are with the publisher.
3. There are several calls for submissions due July 1. I meant to start on a story this weekend, but ended up with Stuff and a night of terrible sleep, so I had to postpone that a bit. But not too long. Maybe, just maybe, I could submit to two of those anthologies instead of just one.
4. The novel-in-progress file remains untouched and taunts me.
5. Hooray I wrote some things!
Hooray! You wrote some things!
You are a writing goddess. | c4 | 4 | 1 | 4 | 1 |

Always avoid sites that have so many negative feedbacks from the clients. However, you also have to keep in mind that some of the comments could have been given by people who have ulterior motives. | c4 | 4 | 2 | 4 | 2 |

BkiUc7Y5qhDBS5hVZTLG | One of the oldest forms of art anywhere on the planet is stenciling. Stenciling has been with human beings for a very long time but not many appreciate how far back in time that stenciling has been with us. The essence of this piece is to outline and discuss the history of stenciling, one of the most enduring forms of art known to humanity.
From time to time, cave paintings are discovered in different countries of the world and everyone is excited but what is even more exciting in this case is that stenciling is one of the primary techniques used by prehistoric humans to make these long-lasting paints on the walls and roofs of caves. In fact, some researchers have calculated that stenciling might have been used in prehistoric societies as far back as almost 40,000 years ago. So it is clear this is not a recent art technique that was recently stumbled upon. Hand stencils are the type of stencils that belong to this category. In this type of stenciling, the human hand is placed on the roof, floor or wall of the cave then the paint, ink, pigment or dye is then applied over it. Some of these hand stencils remain some of the oldest art forms known to humanity.
The following sections of the piece will focus on the history of stenciling after the pre-historic era. Centuries ago in the Far East, it is believed that stencils were used in applying colors to fabrics and this practiced went on for so long that it can still be observed in some rural areas today. During the same period, stenciling was picked up in Europe by the masters of printing and they applied it in the application of color to archaic master prints that were usually bland and lifeless. This practice also continued for a very long time.
The advent of the printing press in Europe also boosted the profile of the art of stenciling as it was quickly deployed in the printing of huge number of books. This was made possible due to the fact that stencils can be used over and over again and there is no need to keep making fresh stencils whenever printing was to be done. This is still very much in practice today, a set of stencils can be used for as long as possible without any decrease in quality of the product.
The history of illustration of books can never be complete without talking of how it was widely done in the early 20th century with the use of stencils. This technique was perfect by artists in the studios in Europe, especially in France where legends like Andre Marty took stenciling to the next level. Today, not much has changed as far as the popularity of stencils of popularity is concerned and this is bound to continue in the nearest future and beyond. Stenciling has managed to remain very relevant owing to its nature of visual clarity, affordability (it is relatively cheap when compared to other techniques), durability and simplicity. | c4 | 4 | 2 | 5 | 2 |

New audio recording of "The Breath of Sparrows"
https://youtu.be/Ibtz3Eietg0

Winning Works Aloud – my event at the 2018 Franschhoek Literary Festival
Last year I was invited to participate at the 2017 Franschhoek Literary Festival. Acclaimed poet Karin Schimke interviewed highly respected bilingual author Antjie Krog and myself. Antjie was promoting her book, Lady Anne (translated from the original Afrikaans) and I was presenting work from Wings of Smoke.
The engaging discussion was so wonderful and relaxed that we went a bit over the allotted time. Karin gave us more than enough room to read our poetry before an appreciative audience.
You may listen to the podcast on the FLF website under the title (28) I READ WHAT I LIKE.
I'm fortunate to share the news that I'll be at the Franschhoek Literary Festival again this year!
The event, WINNING WORKS ALOUD, is sponsored by Jacana Media and will feature the three winners of the most recent Sol Plaatje European Union Poetry Award.
René Bohnen, Moses Shimo Seletisha and myself will be in conversation with Rabbie Serumula. It promises to be an exciting discussion as we tackle the challenges of writing in South Africa with special note of the various languages employed by the three poets.
More details to follow. Please join us! Here is the LINK to the FLF website.

This Alien
Being an alien, as Craig Raine showed us many years ago in his book, A Martian Sends a Postcard Home, gives one a different perspective on matters earthlings see everyday. Of course, though some may claim they truly know what an actual alien might feel or think of us, we can only imagine being an alien.
There are many ways one could imagine being one by choice. And then there are ways one is made to feel like one: the various boundaries set by nation, by society at large, by smaller groups of people. To a certain extent, bullies like pointing out with their little minds those they perceive as aliens who must be exterminated, or at least be shoved to the ground and ridiculed.
I've had my share of being forced to feel like an alien. In a creative sense, that is what one tries to be so that what is ordinary can be turned into something to be marvelled at.
I wrote a poem in 2015 in response to what was happening in my adopted country, South Africa, under the leadership of Jacob Zuma. I sent the poem to a number of journals hoping to get it published and found no luck.
Earlier this year, following the publication of WINGS OF SMOKE, my hopes were raised. I submitted to a local publisher a poetry manuscript (currently called CROCODILES IN BELFAST), which included the poem. The reader they asked to assess the manuscript singled out that same poem. I don't know who the reader was, but I'm quoting his/her words here.
Most striking for me are some of the political poems – "Baleka, what do you know…?", "Fire, the King Who is Called" – poems which are daring, in our present context, critical, perhaps even scandalous, but which doesn't contain the demeaning language that some of our slogans, memes or cartoons may contain. This doesn't make the poems less critical or less subversive of the powerful figures they address, but they show what a non-indulgent, properly poetic treatment of powerful figures may look like. The language of "King" is remarkably restrained, yet one can feel almost something akin to literary tectonic plates shifting in terms of traditions of South African political poetry. It is as if the author knows that they are playing with fire, tries to hold their hands from the flame, but cannot resist the draw of the flames. But irrespective of the subject matter, it is the control over language that makes "King" remarkable, and it is this quality that runs throughout the collection: clarity of expression (even if resolution may escape the reader – which in itself is not a bad thing), restraint in the expression and control over language, which creates tension and torsion.
Despite the high recommendation from that reader, the publisher got back to me, after they asked for a few revisions, with a final rejection. They cited "economic realities" as the reason. I cannot hide my disappointment. But I have to move on.
That poem has finally found a home online. The Johannesburg Review of Books, free for all to enjoy, features my poem "Fire, the King Who is Called," alongside some fantastic poetry and short stories from leading SA authors. I am deeply honoured.
Although the poem has been slightly edited for South African readers, which I don't really mind, I do need to point out something for those unfamiliar with local politics. The main word removed that some might find important was "Gedleyihlekisa" – the middle name of Jacob Zuma. That name's definition is the poem's epigram which I quoted from an SA history website.
It might also help non-SA readers to search online for stories that mention the following: firepool, ANC Women's League, Khwezi, kanga, Nkandla, Zapiro versus Zuma, rape trial, The Spear painting, and The President's Keepers.
Tomorrow, 16 December, the African National Congress (ANC), the ruling party of South Africa since the end of apartheid in 1994, holds its 54th national conference to elect new leaders. Some people might see it as the beginning of the end of Zuma's reign.
This alien will be watching.

Black Friday Sales are being promoted extensively even here in South Africa. If you pause and think, it's nothing but a way for shops and online retailers to offload old stock before the Christmas rush of new products to entice consumers. But really, they're just material things you already have, perhaps newer versions with a few new bells and whistles. How soon after the feelgood rush of the purchase will you be made to crave for the next new iteration?
I don't see the same when it comes to books, good books that aren't designed to be replaced in a season. Or at least that's the hope. So forgive my little sales pitch.

Wings of Smoke gets reviewed on Eclectica Magazine
I'm always thankful for every reader who spends some time with my work – whether it's a haiku attempt, an essay, a story, a poem. Then there's that completely different kind of high when someone not only reads a whole book, but writes a review to share what s/he feels about it.
Wings of Smoke received very warm reviews from Aerodrome and The FilAm. And now this one from Ecletica Magazine! Lovers of poetry will find Jennifer Finstrom's review engaging and, I hope, make readers consider getting a copy of the book.

Aerodrome reviews WINGS OF SMOKE
Some people have little care for words. Some learn a few that stick to them like bubblegum to orange hair, they end up using the same words over and over on television or Twitter. Surprisingly, one such person apparently managed to convince millions, mesmerised by his words, to vote him into power.
I don't pretend to know more words than the average writer, but I try to care for the words that I let go, the words I allow to land on a page. In a world that seems to be increasingly overtaken by the loud and forceful, rather than those who seek truth and a common humanity, one has to be thankful for being read at all.
I previously posted links to the first review of WINGS OF SMOKE. I am delighted and deeply humbled by another review that has just been published at Aerodrome. Endless thanks to South African poet Christine Coates for her very kind words toward my latest paper child.
Wings of Smoke (The Onslaught Press, UK, 2017) is Agustin's latest poetry collection, launched in the UK and worldwide in February 2017. The book may be ordered via the publisher's website – www.onslaughtpress.com – and Amazon. It will be made available in South Africa from March 2017 mainly through the author who will be reading and launching the book at various venues: at the Writing for Liberty Conference at the Centre for the Book on 28 March, at Off the Wall (A Touch of Madness Restaurant) in Observatory on 30 March and at Kalk Bay Books on 4 April. More readings are to follow during the year.

The first review of WINGS OF SMOKE
Huge things are happening in my country of birth. A retired policeman has corroborated the testimony of one of the hired killers of the dreaded Davao Death Squad, saying the former mayor, now elected Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte, created and conducted the vigilante-style group. During Duterte's term as mayor of Davao City thousands were claimed to have been murdered or made to disappear by the DDS. Will this revelation change the course of my country of birth? One hopes for the better, as worse scenarios have been floated by various critics such as self-initiated revolution in order to force a change to federalism or even dictatorship (as Duterte's hero, former dictator Ferdinand Marcos did in the 70s).
But the title of this post said something else! Yes, it did. My apologies. Here goes.
It is one thing an author wishes for his/her paper child – to be read. So I always thank readers who can find time to delve deeper into my work and come up with their own ideas about it.
Thank you to Marius Carlos, Jr for this review with two versions. One appears on his Medium.com page. The other version appears on The FilAm.

I just tested this and it smells rancid, the lotion has started to separate, so I don't think it would be wearable. The box shows wear and tear from age and storage. This would be better suited as a collectible.
Batch code is "9KA". There s no barcode on the box which means this lotion predates 1991. Chloe was originally produced and distributed by Bethco Fragrances, Inc. of New York, New York (a subdivision of Elizabeth Arden-Faberge, Inc). Bethco operated as the upper end American producer of Chloe, Lagerfeld and Fendi perfumes. Bottles will be found with labels with the Bethco names.
In 1989, Unilever purchased Bethco Fragrances, Inc, but the labels will still be branded with the Bethco name. Around 1990, Elizabeth Arden organized a subdivision, Parfums International, Ltd, to control the other Unilever owned fragrance brands (Lagerfeld, Chloe, Fendi, Elizabeth Taylor, Decadence, etc). These labels will be marked with the Parfums International, Ltd name.
Distributed by Bethco Fragrances, Inc,.
Karl Lagerfeld launched Chloe in 1975. It is classified as a floral fragrance for women. | c4 | 4 | 2 | 4 | 2 |

The district's healthcare staff have been on their toes in an attempt to reach the locals residing in the far-flung areas in the district. Whether it is rowing a boat, being ferried in a pick-up truck, or riding a JCB excavator, these warriors have left no stones unturned in their fight against the virus.
Changlang, a remote district in Arunachal Pradesh, has vaccinated 50 per cent of its 18-44 population and over 90 per cent of its 45-plus aged citizens with a first dose, thereby exceeding the target given to the officials and setting an example.
Vaccination Challenge
The majority of vaccination was carried out during a three-day camp in the district which is located near the Myanmar border. To accelerate the drive, a 'vaccination challenge' was conducted among the 12 health centres, reported The Indian Express.
The district's Deputy Commissioner Devansh Yadav said that the idea of conducting the competition was to encourage maximum efforts towards getting the residents vaccinated. He said that amid the rising cases in the district, this move seemed rational and one that would guarantee results.
To ramp up the vaccination in the district, Yadav said that the medical officers were given daily targets based on the population in a particular area and cash rewards were announced.
"The first prize of maximum vaccination was ₹2 lakh, Second prize was ₹1 lakh and third ₹75,000," the officer said, reported The Indian Express.
The reward money could be utilised for the development of infrastructure or to provide for any requirements in the healthcare centres.
The district had reportedly given jabs only to 13 per cent of the 18-44 population and 80 per cent to 45+ aged people before the competition.
Dr Rupa Tangha, Medical Officer of a Primary Health Centre(PHC), said credited the success of the campaign to the outreach programmes that were organised before the vaccination drive. She stated that the award money will be used to pay honorariums to workers of the PHC and for other needs.
Braving The Odds
The frontline workers and healthcare staff have been on their toes in an attempt to reach the locals residing in the far-flung areas in the district.

BkiUdRg5qg5A583uGo_f | Growing up in Malaysia, every child had a bolster pillow to cuddle with. A long rounded pillow lay on every bed sewn together by mothers and grandmothers. When I was a little girl, I used to make bolster pillows with my grandmother. She would sew the covers and I would stuff the pillows.
Going to bed at night was never a simple process for me, I constantly felt fearful and hated the dark. Having a bolster pillow to hold and squeeze gave me an extra boost of safety and made me feel a little braver. After immigrating to Canada though, I forgot all about our sleep custom.
It wasn't until my daughter was born and my mother soon made my girl her very own little soft bolster. Although she didn't use it until she was around 3 years old, seeing my daughter cuddle her bolster pillow to bed at night and still finding her leg and arm over it while she's in deep sleep evoked wonderful memories from my childhood.
As the Founder and CEO of a very a unique sleep system, the ComponentBed, the subject of sleep is a focal point in my work but also very much at home with my family. What I know for sure is we each have individual sleep needs. Children especially need to practice good sleep habits. Finding gentle methods to aid in improving our quality of sleep can go a long way. There are so many reasons why children don't get the sleep they need, while some are complex there are many that are manageable.
Launching the Bravery Bolster campaign is very close to my heart because it's a simple solution that can give a child just a little more comfort and courage they need to sleep well. We hope to reach as many children as possible who could use an extra dose of bravery when they go to sleep at night. Please join us in giving a boost of courage to an already extraordinary child.

BkiUfEfxK3YB9i3RNICE | The plugin will record release information into a new revision of the project's pom.xml file as well as applying SCM versioning to the project's resources.
Verify that there are no uncommitted changes in the workspace.
Prompt the user for the desired tag, release and development version names.
Modify and commit release information into the pom.xml file.
Tag the entire project source tree with the new tag name.
The following example shows how to run the release:prepare goal with a Subversion SCM. The commandline example directs the plugin to locate a Subversion SCM on a local file system.
When using the release:prepare goal, the user must supply maven with information regarding the current location of the project's SCM. In the previous example maven was supplied with the current location of the development trunk and the new location to record tagged instances of the project.
The current location of the development trunk. A valid SCM URL format appropriate to the SCM provider. The "SCM:Provider:" prefix is used to determine the provider being used.
The new location to record a tagged release. A valid SCM URL format appropriate to the SCM provider without the "SCM:Provider:" prefix.
To define the tagBase parameter within the pom.xml file a tagBase element must be defined within a plugins/plugin/configuration element. The following example shows how this would look within the pom.xml file.
A Desired SCM provider tag name.
This is a SCM provider specific value, in the case of the Subversion SCM provider this value is equal to the folder name that will appear under the URL provided by the the tagBase parameter.
A Desired project release version.
This value is placed in the pom.xml that will define the current release. If a development pom.xml holds a version value of 1.0-SNAPSHOT then the release version would be 1.0. This is not enforced and can be a value appropriate to yourself or a company environment.
This value is the placed in the next revision of the pom.xml file used for continuing development. If the current release represented version 1.0 then an appropriate value could be 2.0-SNAPSHOT. The SNAPSHOT designator is required to prepare and perform future releases. This value is then committed in the next development revision of the pom.xml file.
After maven has been supplied with the required information the maven-release plugin will interact with the project's SCM and define a relese to be extracted and deployed. At the same time the project's development trunk is updated allowing developers to continue with further modifications that will be included within future releases.
The plugin will extract file revisions associated with the current release. Maven will compile, test and package the versioned project source code into an artifact. The final deliverable will then be released into an appropriate maven repository.
Extract file revisions versioned under the new tag name.
Execute the maven build lifecycle on the extracted instance of the project.
Deploy the versioned artifacts to appropriate local and remote repositories.
The following example shows how to run the release:perform goal from the commandline.
The release:perform goal requires a file called release.properties to be present within the project root directory. The release.properties file is constructed during the execution of the release:prepare goal and contains all the information needed to locate and extract the correctly tagged version of the project. Shown below is an example of the contents that can appear within an instance of the release.properties file.
Note: The location of the release.properties file is under review and could be moved to the target directory.
The release.properties file is created while preparing the release. After performing the release the file remains within the project root directory until the maven user deletes it. The release.properties file can be given to any developer within the team and by simply excuting the release:perform goal can create and deploy a new instance of the project artifact time and again.
During the execution of the release:perform goal the entire maven build lifecycle is executed on the project. The tagged project source code is extracted, compiled, tested, documented and deployed. An instance of the release artifact is deployed to the machine's local repository. An another instance of the release can be deployed to a remote repository by configuring the distributionManagement element within the pom.xml file.
The following is an example of how a distributionManagement element can be configured within a project pom.xml file.
If the distributionManagement element is not configured within the pom.xml file then the deployment of the artifact will fail. Maven will report a failure back to the user for the execution of the maven-deploy plugin. Please refer maven documentationa and additional mini guides for the use of the maven-deploy plugin.
The following delvierables are created and deployed to local and remoted repositories after the execution of the release:perform goal has finished.
The binaries for the current release of the project.
The javadoc explaining the current functionality of the classes within the current release.
The source code revisions used to build the current release of the project.
The contents of the pom.xml file used to create the current release of the project.
This is because your ~user/.ssh/known_hosts file doesn't have the host listed. You'd normally get a prompt to add the host to the known host list but Maven doesn't propagate that prompt. The solution is to add the host the known_hosts file before executing Maven. On Windows, this can be done by installing an OpenSSH client (for example SSHWindows), running ssh <host> and accepting to add the host.
First, this means that you have successfully deployed the artifacts to the remote repo and that it's only the site deployment that is now an issue. Stop your build, cd to target/checkout> and run the build again by executing mvn site:deploy. You should see a prompt asking you to enter a password. This happens if your key is not in the authorized keys on the server. | c4 | 5 | 5 | 4 | 4 |
BkiUfqU5qhLBsCDnQ-Xb | On the market, a variety of tools which are able to support the complex tasks in test management exists. However, functions and price are differing significantly.
Because the most expensive solution is not always the best one, a thorough evaluation of the existing test management tools regarding coverage of the required needs in the project represents a reasonable investment.
After the choice of a test management tool the way of introduction into the project respectively into the company is crucial for its acceptance and therefore for its wise usage. The desired investment access can only be achieved through careful planning and organization of the tool introduction.
Using an established evaluation and introduction method, we will support you to select and introduce the adequate test management tool for your needs. | c4 | 4 | 3 | 5 | 2 |
BkiUcCnxK6-gD5TlcZCC | A 12-year-old girl named Allie Sherlock is a phenomenal guitarist and thanks to one video — she's gaining worldwide attention. Her street performance of Ed Sheeran's "Supermarket Flowers" will knock you off your feet.
Back in June, Allie uploaded the video of her performing the pop artist's song and it immediately went viral. The internet completely fell in love with the 12-year-old Irish girl. Her talent was incredible.
As she starts singing the beautiful lyrics, "I took the supermarket flowers from the windowsill; I threw the day-old tea from the cup. Packed up the photo album Matthew had made, memories of a life that's been loved," her voice is mature beyond her years.
Not only is her voice absolutely magical, she's playing the acoustic guitar flawlessly. It's hard to believe that she is only 12-years-old. There's no doubt that this pre-teen is an old soul.
Allie often performs on Grafton Street in Ireland but this particular video was going to change her life. It even caught the attention of Ellen Degeneres!
Little wonder she has attracted such a crowd. Brilliant at such a young age!
Sorry. Not for me. Prefer Ed.
All the wannabe stars have a sob story to tell about their troubled childhood…..
And your point is ??
My point is that I think they use their unfortunate childhood to try and win a sympathy vote. As in, maybe the voice isn't all that special, but she was bullied as a child bless her.
I was unaware she was bullied at home until I read this comment and I thought she was ****** amazing. I needed no sob story to see how good she is! Good on her !
Stacey C Carter check her out!
So good. I'm a huge Ed Sheeran fan and I think he would love this. She's incredible.
Awesome voice sign her up.
Fantastic. For one so ypung.
As a woman of Irish Decent, it makes me swell with pride.
To all those saying "sorry prefer Ed"….. why are you comparing? She's not looking to replace, just doing her thing! A bit of credit where it's due please.
Such a strong voice! Beautiful!
Wow! What an amazing voice!
Awsome job. I love buskers much better than pan handlers.
Beautiful voice but I don't like the way it is put in the news.
No one sings an ed song like ed and this song in particular because of its meaning completely loses its meaning with her singing it.
And what is the meaning??
Wow! What an amazing talented young girl!
Chris Green show Beth this video fantastic talent !!
I can't get it to work???
What a voice. I agree with her dad, let her be a teenager first. Though never forget that you can sing and play a guitar. When Edd. Hears this he will agree how good you are. | c4 | 3 | 1 | 3 | 1 |

BkiUeELxK5YsWR0Kj2US | Despite flying the same neo-psychedelia flag as Temples, The Horrors and Tame Impala, three-piece surf-psych band The Wytches ride an altogether darker wave than their contemporaries, channelling heavier influences and horror-film melodies.
Fittingly, their sold out November gig takes place on a cold, wet Tuesday evening, as music fans make their way to the cosy confines of the Ferret.
Local group Moon & The Beams play the opening set, showcasing their blend of laid-back Californian rock, sixties psychedelia and bouncy indie, as swirling organ melodies fill the room and the bass player locks into a tight groove. With a unique sound and an appeal that must stretch beyond their hometown, it seems this Preston-based band may be more than just local stars before too long.
The main support act, however, are anything but local. Baby In Vain, a Danish trio consisting of a drummer and two guitarists, display fierce punk energy as they career through a chaotic set that verges on messy, their strong female vocals and grungy guitars warming up the crowd for the main event.
With the venue packed to the rafters, The Wytches clamber on stage, clad in black and looking altogether unfazed. Without speaking, lead singer Kristian Bell launches into 'C-side', a new track with an extended intro that showcases the latest addition their touring line-up – the organ. Save a few songs, the instrument amplifies the band's presence throughout the set, with dark hypnotic drones underpinning the surf-psych riffs like black clouds hovering above a deserted beach.
Album favourites like 'Wide At Midnight' and 'Gravedweller' demonstrate delicate harmonies and meaty riffs in equal measure, the latter building tension early on. The relentless new track 'Wasteybois' also goes down well, giving the audience what it wants as a mosh-pit lurches into life. The sad slow-burner 'Summer Again' quietens things down, but not for long; 'Robe for Juda' sends the crowd into a frenzy and by the time the psychotic 'Burn Out the Bruise' is finished the whole room is under The Wytches' spell.
Without muttering a single word, and having cut the set abruptly short, the four long-haired figures leave the stage and don't return. Ignorance? Or just another part of their gothic aesthetic? Either way, as punters file out of the Ferret in search of fresh air, no one seems to be complaining. Then again, they probably wouldn't have said no to one more song. | c4 | 4 | 1 | 5 | 1 |

BkiUdtU5qhLBXeFpcaeJ | Back in January we launched a special, 12 month long partnership with five very talented bloggers dubbed the Earthborn #claymates. Throughout 2019, our five fabulous bloggers will be using Earthborn paints on a variety of projects in their homes. They'll be showing how beautiful and unique our eco-friendly paints are, and hopefully inspire you with your decorating and home renovation plans too!
In this post we introduced our five #claymates with links to their beautiful Instagram accounts and inspiring blogs.
We thought it was time to share a little more about each blogger, their totally unique decorating style, and their 2019 interiors projects. In this post, we're delving into the glamorous home of Kimberly Duran of Swoonworthy Blog.
Kimberly recently moved to a stunning Victorian house with many original period features, and was already familiar with the unique qualities of Claypaint and its suitability for older properties. She is about to embark on an exciting extension project during 2019 so we're looking forward to see how her plans unfold. However Kimberly's glamorous and eclectic style also lends itself to easy make-over ideas and small scale DIY projects, as showcased on her inspiring blog.
"After moving into our beautiful Victorian home last year, we have a huge project ahead of us, updating and refreshing the space and ultimately, making it our own. With a period property, it's important that we use paint that allows our old walls to breathe properly and using eco-friendly Earthborn paints mean it's good for the house and good for us too with no added VOCs and a creamy texture which covers beautifully.
Fast forward a few short months and Kimberly has already completed her first room makeover, of her living room, ahead of embarking on larger scale building work. She chose the subtle, mushroom shade of Paw Print, turning this space from a bold purple (which wasn't necessarily to Kimberly's taste!) into a calm, sophisticated living room featuring neutral colours and metallic accents.
As Kimberly explains in her blogpost, she has bigger plans for this room after her kitchen extension is complete. This surprisingly quick project truly shows how a lick of paint can completely transform the look and feel of a room.
If you'd like to learn more about how she achieved this beautiful room, head to Kimberly's Swoonworthy blog here. And if you're inspired to try this purrrfectly pleasingly shade, click here to order a sample pot of Paw Print!

BkiUfZHxK7IAHVuoNG54 | Q: How to recover EFI boot? I have a dell 15R notebook that used to work very well with windows 10 and ubuntu 16.04.
Today after an apparently normal update the ubuntu desktop became unresponsible than I have to turn it off using power button.
after that I tried to boot again and then I got a bad surprise. it failed. :(
Now the boot menu is not appearing anymore, it is booting directly into windows
could someone give me a help, please?
after trying Boot Repair tool the machine have boot into the Windows 10 directly.
The I turn it off and on pressing F12.
In the boot page I saw that Ubuntu and Windows are there and the mode if EFI Secure Off
Fortunately I was able to boot ubuntu selecting it in the menu. and did some backup :)
The strange is that grub menu that was presented is full of new entries some related to EFI.
The link for the Boot Repair report is http://paste2.org/MPhXHdbP (before) and http://paste2.org/n6v0XDZM
Any idea ?
A: You need to repair the GRUB. Do the following
Boot using a Live USB/CD of Ubuntu. Use Boot Repair to fix the problem.
After booting with Live USB/CD, run following command in terminal:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:yannubuntu/boot-repair && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install -y boot-repair && boot-repair
Use Recomended Repair. This will install GRUB back :)
A: Did you do what your (second) report tells you to do at the end:
If your computer reboots directly into Windows, try to change the boot order in your BIOS.
If your BIOS does not allow to change the boot order, change the default boot entry of the Windows bootloader.
For example you can boot into Windows, then type the following command in an admin command prompt:
bcdedit /set {bootmgr} path \EFI\ubuntu\shimx64.efi
paste.ubuntu.com ko (), using paste.debian
paste.debian.net ko (), using paste2

And you can also part-exchange your current car if you want and access the aftersales customer service should you wish.
Range of new Skoda cars
When you walk into a Skoda dealership you'll be faced with a wide range of vehicles, so which one is right for you? And which do you really want? Here, we explain the entire range of new Skoda cars available to buy from carwow.
The smallest car in the range, the Skoda Citigo is virtually identical to the SEAT Mii and VW Up city cars (as Skoda is part of the VW group of car brands). The Citigo tends to be cheaper than the other two, though, so be sure to check out the Citigo deals above.
Looking for something a bit larger than the Citigo? The Skoda Fabia could be just the thing for you: the ideal big-yet-small car. It's more spacious than a Ford Fiesta, though it's not quite as stylish inside or out as the big-selling little Ford, but it is cheap to run.
The Scala family hatchback is one of the newest additions to the Skoda range. So before you go and buy a Ford Focus or VW Golf, it's certainly worth checking out the Scala, too.
The Octavia is roomy, well made and comes well equipped, too. It's not as smart as a VW Passat, but it is a good deal cheaper. You can buy an Octavia as a hatchback or an estate – and the estate, in particular, is enormously spacious.
If you are after the space you'd find in a limousine, but at Ford Mondeo prices, the Skoda Superb fulfils the 'maximum space, minimum cost' brief better than most cars. It's very roomy and you can get great deals on them. The Superb is available as a hatchback or super-roomy estate version.
This is the smallest of the three Skoda SUVs. Perhaps a little confusingly, all three Skoda SUVs' names begin with a K and end with a Q. But the Kamiq is the cheapest and could be ideal if you spend a lot of your time whizzing around busy city streets or narrow town centre car parks. The Kamiq is similar to a SEAT Arona and VW T-Roc.
The Karoq is Skoda's mid-range SUV, in both price and size terms. It's not as spacious as the larger Kodiaq, but it won't set you back as much, either. If you would Consider a VW Golf or a Ford Focus, but want the extra height and chunky feel of an SUV, then the Karoq could be the perfect choice.
The Skoda Kodiaq is the biggest SUV that Skoda currently produces, and it's the only one that offers the option of seven seats. For those after a performance car hit with their big SUV there's also the vRS version of the Kodiaq, which gets a powerful 239hp turbodiesel engine and sporty styling add-ons. Other seven-seater family SUVs at a similar price point include the Land Rover Discovery Sport and the VW Tiguan Allspace.
Skoda deals FAQs
Is Skoda doing a scrappage scheme?
Currently, Skoda has no official Scrappage scheme in the UK, but you will still be able to part exchange your old car, depending on its age and condition through the Skoda dealership. Or you could sell your car through carwow - simply hit the 'Sell my car' link at the foot of the page.
Which Skoda Cars can you buy on Skoda Finance
The entire range of Skoda cars, from the tiny Citigo to the imposing Kodiaq can be on your driveway courtesy of a finance deal.

BkiUbEfxaKgS2Kkr3-cw | Crime Wave in Turkmenistan
A rise in burglaries and muggings has accompanied the annual prisoner amnesty.
By IWPR staff
Crime is on the rise in Turkmenistan, with some blaming the thousands of prisoners amnestied by the president, while others say the dire state of the economy is the cause.
A police source said that the incidence of muggings and burglaries has leapt in recent weeks, with 80 per cent of those arrested coming from the group of 8,000 prisoners released in October under the annual amnesty granted by President Saparmurat Niazov, better known as Turkmenbashi.
"In the last 35 days alone, the number of offences was equivalent to the number committed over six months of last year. That's quite a high figure," said the source, who did not want to be identified.
The prisoner amnesty, which began in 1999, is timed to coincide with the end of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan each year. The majority of the 12,000 people held in prison are let out, with only political prisoners and those sentenced for economic crimes and major theft of state property ineligible for release.
That means drug traffickers, burglars and muggers are released back into a largely unsympathetic society that has little interest in helping them readjust.
Though Turkmenbashi has ordered that jobs should be found for those "who have repented for their deeds to help them to adapt to normal life, so they do not feel themselves to be outcasts and do not wish to return to their former ways", that has not happened.
"We waited for our son to get out with such joy," said Maiya Ashirovna. "He returned with the genuine desire to start a new life, to go and work and start a family. But a month has gone by, and we still can't find a job for him. Everywhere when people find out that he has a previous conviction, they find any excuse to refuse him. He doesn't even get hired for the lowest paid work, although he has higher education."
This case is not an exception but rather the norm, say former prisoners. When applying for a state job, forms need to be filled out containing questions about any prior convictions. They say if the answer is "yes", then the chances of getting the job is minimal.
"If even 'normal' people can't find work, who's going to get involved with former thieves and drug dealers," said 30-year-old Merdan who was amnestied in 2004 and has been unable to find work since.
"We are practically forced to return to our former environment, and what else can we do? We have to feed ourselves and our families. So we continue to do what we used to be good at doing: stealing and selling drugs."
The majority of amnestied prisoners in Turkmenistan were jailed for drug-related crimes. They received no treatment while inside, and there is nothing is available to help them adapt to their new lives outside.
"There are no centres for rehabilitating released prisoners in the country. No work is conducted at all on adapting amnestied prisoners to the conditions of life outside prison," one member of a non-government organisation told IWPR.
The high level of unemployment among released prisoners is contributing to the current crime wave.
In one Ashgabat apartment block, drug addicts stole the electricity meter, leaving the building without power for five days. A week later the telephone cable was stolen and for two weeks the phones didn't work. "They steal everything they can take away and sell," a resident said.
There has been an increase in muggings of elderly people on the day they receive their pensions. Some thieves pretend to be neighbours who want to use the telephone, then attack the pensioners and steal their money
"One pensioner I know let a man live in her apartment for some extra money," said a social worker. "He had just been amnestied and had come to look for work. The man lived with her for two weeks, and on the day that she received her pension he killed her, closed the apartment door and left."
Police have responded to the situation by urging people not to open their doors to strangers and are making regular checks on those who live alone.
An Ashgabat policeman told IWPR that amnestied prisoners living in his district are summoned for questioning as soon as a crime is committed.
"From year to year the criminal situation after the amnesty gets worse, the released prisoners are unable to find work, and there is a drastically increase in the number of drug addicts. In this situation I don't even know what's better, amnesty or a full term of punishment," he said.
There is no mention of rising crime levels on the heavily censored television news or in the newspapers. At the end of October, Turkmenbashi announced confidently that the country's streets were safe and its amnestied prisoners gainfully employed.
Law enforcement officials, meanwhile, are ordered to reduce crime figures "by dozens of times" in reports to higher authorities.
"We don't have the right to say that at the moment a crime wave is sweeping Turkmenistan," said Ashir, who works for the police.
"We were given an order from the top to gently warn citizens to be more cautious and not to open their doors to strangers - but not to say that the situation is close to an emergency, and that all police departments are working overtime."

BkiUbic5qsBB3HnuVPy- | Die Firma A. Mencke & Co war ein photographisches Atelier und Verlag in Hamburg-Wandsbek.
Photographisches Institut A. Mencke & Cie.
Nach dem frühen Tod von August Mencke kurz vor Weihnachten 1861 führte seine Witwe Albertine Mencke das Atelier weiter und nannte es Photographisches Institut A. Mencke & Cie. 1866 verlegte sie das Atelier in den Neuen Wall 48. Im Sommer 1869 gab sie das Atelier am Neuen Wall auf und zog nach Wandsbek. Zu dieser Zeit hatte für eine kurze Dauer der später bekannte Fotograf Cornelius Schaarwächter als junger Mann mitgearbeitet und Pigmentdrucke hergestellt.
Albertine Mencke, geb. Jürgens, heiratete 1865 Ernst Friedrich Christian Mevert.
A. Mencke & Co. Verlagsinstitut in Wandsbeck bei Hamburg
Der Verlag A. Mencke & Co. Verlagsinstitut in Wandsbeck bei Hamburg, der 1873 von Mevert gegründet worden war, spezialisierte sich auf Aufnahmen von deutschen Herrenhäusern und Schlössern. Es ist anzunehmen, dass zahlreiche Objekte erstmals fotografiert wurden. Der Verlag verkaufte die im Kontaktverfahren hergestellten Albuminabzüge in der Regel auf Karton aufgewalzt.
Zahlreiche Bilder des Verlages befinden sich im Besitz der Stiftung Mecklenburg, früher in Ratzeburg und heute in Schwerin. Sie wurden ab 2009 in der Ausstellung Herrenhäuser im Wandel der Zeiten unter anderem in Schwerin und Neustrelitz gezeigt. Vor der Konzertscheune von Schloss Ulrichshusen ist die Ausstellung dauerhaft zu sehen.
Über eine große Sammlung von Mencke-Aufnahmen verfügen auch das Landeshauptarchiv Schwerin, das Mecklenburgische Volkskundemuseum Schwerin-Mueß, die Sammlung der Coburger Landesstiftung auf der Veste Coburg und die fotografische Sammlung des Museums Ludwig in Köln.

BkiUbJHxK0-nUKDho5DA | 1) We are human first and interviewers/photographers/videographers second. Yes, someone crying to camera makes for a powerful video. Yes, someone recounting something traumatic makes for good footage. Yes, the glint of tears in the eyes will make a moving photograph. But we should never forget what it feels like to be on the other side of the camera/dictaphone. Twice we paused interviews to comfort someone or to simply allow them to gather their thoughts. I did not regret this either time. Maybe the content we captured might have been stronger if we had carried on filming but I know we would have poorer as people for forgetting the humanity and dignity of the person we were interviewing. We should always remember to be human.
Getting to share in someone else's story is a privilege. Getting to live a bit of that story with them is an honour. Travelling with crab fishermen in Guiuan, The Philippines for All We Can.
2) When we listen to someone's story we are given the honour of carrying that story and sharing it appropriately. I am reminded time and time again that a story is a precious commodity. I rarely share mine with people, and sharing the 'painful bits' is reserved for friends I trust most. Therefore to sit and listen to people talking about some of the most difficult days in their life should always be treated with utmost respect.
3) As human beings we can often search for the differences between us to define and create the story. What is amazing to me is that we share more that unites us than things that divide us. We met one young woman who spoke to us about the last two years of her life. Typhoon Yolanda took her home but what broke her heart was her husband leaving her. The biggest crisis in her life was not the damage caused by an event that we find hard to comprehend here in typhoon-free Britain but was instead the all too familiar tale of betrayal and abandonment. It would have been easy for us to assume that every tear shed in this part of The Philippines relates to disaster wrought by the changing climate but in actual fact most of the daily issues in people's lives are not so different to those experienced all over the world.
Spending time with individuals like Angelica in Giporlos was a real joy and blessing.
4) Poverty compounds problems. With everything said above I yet again saw that poverty becomes the straw that breaks the camel's back. In this case sometimes that poverty was cruelly brought on by a disaster beyond anyone's control.
5) I love meeting people and sharing time with them. This is something I know already but it is always good to be reminded. The part of my job I thrive on is not the photography itself. Rather it is the time I get to listen to people's stories. I am never happier than when sat with someone and hearing about their life. This trip to The Philippines reminded me of that and reignited my enthusiasm for what I do and for the need for good storytelling.
The Philippines. Love the country and the people.
Every single thought contains wisdom which I wish more people would adopt, especially with the growing "voyeurism" culture developing around the world… Thank you for the post and the reminders about humanity! | c4 | 5 | 1 | 5 | 4 |
BkiUgC_xK7FjYAb_9w7U | Kituo Cha Sheria conducted refresher training for 35 community paralegals in Mombasa County. The activity which took place at the White Rhino Hotel, Tudor- Mombasa County; going on for 4 days, brought together community legal volunteers and human rights defenders from the Kisauni (KICODI) Community Justice Centre in Mombasa. Day 1 of the training covered introduction to paralegalism including qualities and skills of a community paralegal and Sexual and Gender Based Violence. The training was conducted by legal officers from Kituo's Coast regional office, volunteer advocates and other partners took place from the 14th-20th November 2018. The Kisauni (KICODI) community paralegals were also taken through Alternative Dispute Resolution methods in Kenya i.e. Mediation, Negotiation, Arbitration and Conciliation. ADR and Traditional Dispute Resolution Methods (TDRM) processes contribute to enhanced access to justice by all, and in particular among the poor people; enhanced access to justice also strengthens the rule of law. Another session undertaken was on land and environmental law with participants being taken through the new land laws, types of ownership in land, and an overview on the National Land Commission. Discussions were also on the Environment and Land Court and the procedures therein. The graduating community paralegals were presented with certificates during a ceremony officiated by the Regional office coordinator Dr. Annette Mbogoh and Kituo AGM member Grace Okumu. | c4 | 4 | 2 | 5 | 1 |

BkiUbhTxaKPQoekS2uMD | More drivers considering going electric after fuel crisis
More than a third (35%) of people are likely to choose an electric vehicle as their next car, according to Volkswagen Financial Services.
The fuel crisis was cited as a key reason for the switch with 30% of 18 to 24-year-olds and 31% of 25 to 34-year-olds admitting to panic buying fuel during the recent petrol shortages. This compares to just 7% of 55 to 64-year-olds and 3% of those aged 65 to 74-years-old.
Not only are more than a third of people considering going electric for their next car, but 32% of Brits say they are likely to buy a second-hand electric vehicle.
Volkswagen Financial Services UK said the annual number of used electric cars it finances has surged 76% from 2020 to 2021, whilst petrol and diesel cars have fallen 23% and 37% respectively.
The finance company also said that 'range anxiety' – worrying about how far an electric vehicle can travel before it needs charging – is becoming something of a myth as the UK now has more EV charging stations than conventional fuel stations.
The latest figures released by the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT) show that September was the best month ever for new battery electric vehicle (BEV) uptake. With a market share of 15.2%, more than 32,000 BEVs joined UK roads in the month, meaning September's performance was only 5,000 short of the total number registered during the whole of 2019.
Rebecca Whitmore, electric vehicle senior product owner at Volkswagen Financial Services UK, said: "Electric vehicles have never been more popular than they are today and it's clear from our research that the recent fuel crisis has only accelerated the surge in demand for electric cars and their new technologies.
"However, to meet the government's decarbonisation targets, we need the take-up of EVs to be much higher. The average length of each car journey in the UK is fewer than 10 miles, so there's still a lot of work to be done to alter the wider public's perception of their driving habits, because an electric car would slot into the average person's daily life more seamlessly than they probably imagine.
"As EV technology continues to improve and these vehicles continue to become more affordable and accessible, it won't be too long before we have mainstream adoption in the UK."

BkiUev425V5jLcQY0zeX | Over the last week of I've been awarded the Liebster Blog Award twice. Once by Elizabeth Stevens Omlor and once by Beth Stilborn. A huge thank you to these wonderful fellow bloggers for their kind gesture!
Now I know many of you might have seen this award floating around and have seen various descriptions. Yes, Liebster means dearest or beloved in German and the origins of the award are unknown or at least undocumented. The purpose of the award is to give bloggers with less than 200 followers a shout-out and more exposure. Now there are a few other items tied to the award, but I'm going to go a different route with my post. I guess I'm probably breaking the "Liebster Award" rules, but oh well!
So, in the spirit of spreading some blog love, I would like to share a few of my favorite blogs that I always make a point to read. I realize some may have more than 200 followers, but I think they are all amazing and worth checking out.
Barbara Watson - Check out her MMGM posts (I love her book picks!), as well as her A-B-C's of Middle Grade on Thursdays.
Joanne Fritz - Also a participant in MMGM and a great resource for children's books. Joanne is actually on a revision holiday right now, so for now check out her blog archives.
Writer's First Aid- Written by Kristi Holl, it is a great source of inspiration and advice.
Shannon Messenger - I started following Shannon right before her book deal announcements and have enjoyed reading about her publication journey.
Susanna Leonard Hill - Creator of Perfect Picture Book Friday, Susanna's blog is a great resource for picture book writers and a fun place to stop.
Julie Hedlund - Julie is the creator and organizer of 12 x 12 in 2012. Her blog is a great place for encouragement in the writing journey.
I list many other blogs and websites that I follow either in the lists to the right or in my tabs at the top.
Looking at this list, I'm amazed at what great friends I have found through my writing journey. Finding my spot in the writing community has been such a blessing to me. As so many say, finding great critique partners and writing friends is so necessary for a writer. A big thank you, as well, to my followers. Whether you are a writer or just a book lover I'm so glad that I've given you something worthwhile to read. | c4 | 4 | 1 | 4 | 1 |

Black Writing, Culture and Memory
To focus on black writing rather than black literature, it might be argued, is to attend with greater passion to dynamics of literacy within our culture. As theories of modernism and globalization lead to camps of blissful forgetting, there is some urgency in ordinary instances of black writing. Obviously, a young person walking down a sidewalk on the way to somewhere as she or he practices "rapping skills" is creating pre-conditions for literature. That young person may one day be viral on YouTube or have work published in a best-selling anthology.
Pre-conditions for literature also exist in commonplace email messages. They can inform us about our vibrant culture and certain uses of memory, of cooperation as an act of resisting the contemporary individualism that is quite the rage. Writers who are not selfishly worshipping their own egos do seek to help other writers. In the antiquity of classic African American culture, cooperation was simply a matter of being "in the tradition."
Keenan Norris, author of the forthcoming and psychologically provocative novel Brother and the Dancer, was "in the tradition" when he sent out the following email on April 4, 2013. I quote the email with his permission.
I'm writing on behalf of Lynel Gardner and his debut book, BEAST: The Destruction of Charles "Sonny" Liston. Lynel is looking for a publisher and for leads to publishers. I've also included a bio about Lynel, whose life and work have been both dramatic and inspirational. Lynel's work on the life of Liston will be profiled on an upcoming ABC Sports show.
Lynel has an agent and is working through his agent to find a publisher. However, he's also looking to work through all other available channels as well. I figure this is as good a forum as any to see if my virtual community of fellow writers and artists might have connections with editors and publishers that would be appropriate for Lynel's work. Lynel can be reached at lynel_gardner@yahoo.com
Below is his bio and a synopsis of BEAST.
Keenan
Lynel Gardner is a performance artist, novelist and playwright. His work with the Hittite Empire Performance Art Group started in 1989. They toured the country and the UK doing work based on black male silence. An all-male performance art group, they focused on issues of the day: the "wilding incident", the Central Park rape case in New York and the LA riots. He has written a play called Stories I Never Told My Father about growing up with a pimp for a father, how he survived, and found God in the process of trying to find his father before he died. The life experiences of Lynel's uncle (and several other family members) served as the basis for the movie The Mack.
Lynel's debut book is based on the life of his grandfather, heavyweight boxing champion Sonny Liston. The book dispells many of the popular misconceptions about Liston. Lynel is the founder of Theater as Prevention and frequently speaks to inmates in the California prison system about fatherhood and reform.
Partial Synopsis:
When Muhammad Ali explained to the world in 1965, that he had been taught the "Anchor Punch" from Stepin Fetchit, who had learned it from Jack Johnson, the world stood in disbelief. It would be the first time ever that Charles "Sonny" Liston, who was trying to regain his title, would be knocked to the canvas, in his professional career. Muhammad Ali had indeed "Shook up the world" in their first championship fight together and in their second contest, he would boggle the mind. And from that point on, boxing, and its fans, would never be the same. The Liston Family, the Ali family and the Palermo family would forever be remembered, for being a part of some elaborate conspiracy, fix, and or "Phantom Punch." Sonny Liston would go to his grave, never to be forgiven, by the public at large, for what had happened in those two fights. And even though Muhammad Ali would one day go down in history as "The Greatest" boxer of all time, the public would forever hold him suspect; marking him with a "Scarlet Letter" for somehow being partly responsible, for what is still believed to be, one of the greatest hoaxes, of the twentieth century.
It struck me that BEAST: The Destruction of Charles "Sonny" Liston had a no-nonsense title akin to some made famous by Holloway House, and I suggested to Norris that Gardner should explore the possibility of being published by that firm. Holloway House was willing to give attention to core black culture well before academic guardians of African American culture (including noted Black Arts Movement critics) were willing to acknowledge the little people, the core that Langston Hughes celebrated in poetry and fiction. From what Norris mentioned about the projected ABC sports special, it was apparent that Gardner might get offers from more powerful publishers who would want to cash in on a hot topic. Nevertheless, racial wisdom teaches us to cover all bases, to leave little to chance or accidents of fortune.
What Norris mentioned in the biographical sketch on Lynel Gardner and in the synopsis set my ideas flowing. Gardner has ancestral motives for wanting to tell his grandfather's story (and his grandmother's) in a culture that feeds on mass media's stew of confusions. His efforts to tell a story that rescues Charles "Sonny" Liston from the shadows cast by Muhammad Ali are like those of writers who rescue the real soldiers of the Civil Rights Movement from the shadows cast by Martin Luther King, Jr. There is, as the poet Sterling D. Plumpp has reminded us, a story always untold, a story that should be told within the boundaries of African American literature but often is destroyed by literary politics. I applaud the cultural authenticity of Gardner's efforts to broadcast "a truth."
My applause is all the louder as a result of having read Thabiti Lewis's Ballers of the New School: Race and Sports in America (2010) and his claims regarding the desperation of mythologizing White masculinity in fiction and film. Referring to the Rocky films, Lewis indicts Stallone for culling "portions of real fights ---along with the real personalities of Frazier, Liston, Foreman, and Ali ---to write the four installments of the Rocky industry" (211).
Appropriation is a two-way street. Recall Charles Johnson's deformation of Herman Melville's "Benito Cereno" in the neo-slave novel Middle Passage. In the reclamation of Liston's story, Gardner is quite on point about race, sport, and the power of re-enacting Puritan uses of the scarlet letter in contemporary American culture. And he only has to appropriate his family's history. He is promoting one of the key functions of black writing: the correction of misrepresentations or absences that induce cultural amnesia about the being-in-this-world of African Americans. Despite endless attempts to devalue it in favor of black literature, black writing continues to be one of our strongest weapons in the post-whatever combat/contact zone.
We should support Norris and Gardner as affirmative writers who use their talents wisely in trouble-saturated times. They affirm the nexus of writing, culture, and memory.

A: The problem was I din't open the database for READ/WRITE. So db was coming null. I added the below line and its working now..

BkiUdMo4uzlh5XI9njad | Veteran Actor Govinda shared his best wishes for his biggest fan Ranveer Singh and said the actor once made him rewatch his films.
Govinda interacted with media for the promotion of his upcoming release, 'Rangeela Raja' on Thursday. The film is currently in a scuffle with the Censor Board of Film Certification over its content.
Ranveer Singh who got married to Deepika Padukone recently has been very vocal about being Govinda's biggest fan. The actor even at his wedding was seen dancing on Govinda's iconic songs.
When asked if Govinda would be present at Ranveer, Deepika's reception, he said, "When I was shooting with him (Ranveer) once, he enacted my scenes from different films and he shocked me. It made me want to watch my films again. (laughs) I wish him all the very best, may God bless him. Such an environment feels good to be in where you find love and support. I really like Ranveer and enjoy his films. It is so nice to hear that he has appreciated my work through all the years."
Govinda's upcoming film, 'Rangeela Raja' has been under (CBFC) Censor Board of Film Certification's radar. The board has demanded 20 cuts from the film causing the maker Pahlaj Nihalani to postpone its release.
When talking about the board's decision, Govinda said, "It's either we carry forward with a flop film or we reshoot most of the film and work through it, that's the kind of situation the board has created for Pahlaj ji. And I think this is very unfair and wrong. They must reconsider by looking at the content and dialogues that have been used in recent films and then think about what we have used in Rangeela Raja."
When asked how he looks at his success and failures and if adds to pressure having his film in a controversy, Govinda said, "Reacting to success or failure is a sign of weak people. When we started we were very poor and God granted us success. it was tough for us to buy tickets to watch a film, now we are in films and we have been in films for decades. And I am thankful to everyone who has played a small part in giving me the chance to become a part of films." | c4 | 4 | 1 | 5 | 1 |

BkiUbbA5qsJBjjDuq3VW | Forth and Back Studios Materialize The Dreams of New York
November 27, 2019 / by Tex Market / in Others
Multidisciplinary design studio based in East Los Angeles, California, founded by Nikolos Killian and Tanner Woodbury – Forth and Back work towards achieving groundbreaking revelations and solutions to larger societal issues, both old and new. Focusing on identity, print, packaging, environmental and web design, the duo incorporate both photography and conceptual art direction in all of their work.
Hailing from opposing ends of California, Nikolos originates from San Francisco while Tanna represents San Diego – the duo had gone to school, graduated and worked together on various projects throughout their youth before their efforts finally materialized as a studio.
Known for both commercial work and their personal projects, Forth and Back had a hand in designing the Chinatown Nous Tous Art Gallery of Downtown Los Angeles, as well as, the vibrant Blue Roof Studios Art Festival print campaign through posters, t-shirts and bags which referenced the sunlight and shadows cast through the passing of time.
The studio's other work include collaborations on brand identity and logo design with UCR ARTS – an art museum and cultural center affiliated with the University of California Riverside which features the California Museum of Photography and The Barbara and Art Culver Center of the Arts.
Adding to Forth and Back's already impressive resumé is a thoughtful dream-like publication, aptly titled Dreams of New York. The publication is a meticulously curated album of the city's most candid moments frozen in time.
The book itself was a eureka moment for the duo who were exploring the digitalized streets of New York through the lens of Google Earth. Chancing upon what they deemed profound imagery of carefree and rebellious skateboarders roaming the streets of Tribeca, Forth and Back were inspired to gather as many of New York's 'frozen' moments.
The leisurely three year process of collating an array of singular moments, was not without its fair share of struggle. With innumerable nights spent scrolling through the endless black holes of the internet and navigating constant dead-end searches – the duo eventually formed what is now their 200-paged collective voice and view on the world enclosed in a hardback book.
Designed with an otherworldly appeal, flipping through the book feels like navigating a dream – with majority of the images printed in their original state, a few have been decontextualized. Removed completely from their environments, the subjects are transported into a hazy and unfamiliar atmosphere where they captivate immense attention. These decontextualized images serve as break of flow within the book, allowing readers the opportunity to meditate on each spread and to fully process the visual details they observe.
While Dreams of New York is for sale as an ideal coffee table book, curious individuals may access its online and ongoing preview. Forth and Back have also expressed a long-term goal of exploring cities around the world through Google Earth and hope readers form personal connections with the images they perceive.

BkiUbfA241xg-EsBt3C4 | Beef broth from the grocery store fails to capture the rich, seasonal flavor found in homemade beef stock. Once you start making you're own, not only will you feel more nourished and every dish will taste better, but you're guests will notice. I add a dash of this stock to to most dishes to boost flavor and nutrition. The key is making the stock with marrow bones from grass-fed, pastured cows and using the freshest, darkest color vegetables available. I find the bones at my local health food store, but I have to ask the butcher; he doesn't put them out on display.
Add the bones, celery, whole carrots and quartered onion to the pot. Cover with water. Bring to a boil, then uncover and simmer on medium for two hours. If using a pressure cooker, cook at 15 pounds of pressure for 60 minutes. Strain into a large bowl. Stir in tomato paste. If canning, ladle into sterilized quart jars and process at 15 psi for 45 minutes. If freezing, allow the broth to cool for 30 minutes; then ladle 2-cup portions into freezer bags and lay i flat stacks in the freezer.
Takes about 2 hours start to finish and makes 12 cups. Sip and enjoy! | c4 | 4 | 1 | 5 | 1 |

Sophisticated + Personalized Beverly Hills Wedding
Simone Harouche and Marc Bretter
Photographed by: Elizabeth Messina Location: Beverly Hills, California, United States
Ever since she was a little girl, Simone Harouche wanted to get married at her parent's home. "I grew up in that house," she asserts, "and I had also been to a few weddings that took place in individual homes and I really enjoyed them. There is something very personal and intimate about that type of setting." The designer and fashion stylist incorporated many of her own design ideas into the planning so every element of the wedding would represent a piece of her or fiancé Marc Bretter. "Because 'The Look' of the wedding was a combination of our personalities and travels, the theme was kind of free flowing – a mix of eclectic, bohemian, classic, and quirky," she says.
A custom invitation and stationery suite was the first order of business, and Simone found a wonderful artist who was perfect for the job. However, the stationer was based on the east coast and too busy to take on personalized invitations. "Her standard invites were great," says Marc, "but we really wanted her to make it personal. I called her every day for a week and was able to convince her to work with us, even though she didn't have the time. Simone told me it was the best wedding present I could have given her, because the artist's work is simply unreal."
Guests were greeted on the day of the wedding by exotic strains of music provided by players of the Indian sitar and tabla. Framed photos of family were affixed to a towering bird cage that was artfully decorated with cascading ivy and other foliage. A beautiful antique carpet with an ornate Moroccan design paved the aisle, at the foot of which stood Indian uruli bowls containing floating flowers and candles. To ward off the August heat, fans featuring whimsical drawings of the wedding party were offered to guests. An organically sculptured chuppah made of branches, moss, and an array of greenery had been molded into a masterpiece for the Jewish vow exchange, with fabric from the bride's collection of vintage textiles providing the crowning touch.
Although he had been instructed otherwise, Marc ventured from his station on the platform after being escorted by his parents. "When I saw people walking down the aisle, I decided to take my own advice and do what I wanted to do. Individually greeting each member of the wedding party turned out to be a wonderful decision. It made seeing Simone walk towards me even more special because I felt so happy to be there with all my family and friends." The bride wore a stunning Carolina Herrera gown, and carried the prayer book from her father's Bar Mitzvah with her delicate bouquet of valley lilies. The tallit (Jewish marriage shawl) from the wedding of Marc's grandparents was incorporated into ceremony, as well as the wedding ring of the mother of the bride. "I wanted to use as many things with personal history to our families as possible," says Simone.
The dazzling details of the al fresco reception created an ambiance that was pure magic. "I didn't want to cover the sky, but instead try to incorporate the moon and outdoor environment while also creating a warm and intimate space," says Simone. A mix of spectacular chandeliers featuring vintage crystals or Moroccan beads was suspended overhead from a maze of wooden beams. "It was so well done that most people thought it was part of the house and not created for the wedding," shares Marc. Tables in different sizes made of wood and wrought iron were set with an array of floral arrangements composed of stark white roses, tulips, and hydrangea blossoms placed in short sterling vases.
A buffet of delicious comfort foods was offered so guests could have their choice of dishes in the amounts they desired. The couple's marble wedding cake with chocolate-chip frosting (Marc's favorite) was crowned with a topper from the 1950s that the bride found at an antique store. The groom's cake was shaped like an armadillo, an ode to Steel Magnolias (a favorite movie of Simone's), and both cakes were presented on a table draped with vintage piano shawls from the bride's personal collection.
The Rick Cowling band and a quartet that sang Motown hits provided music for dancing, followed by sets from hip hop producer DJ Premier (who offered his own remix of "Hava Nagila"). "There were some unbelievable things that happened on that dance floor," recalls Marc. "I don't want to get specific, but things got very interesting!" Appropriately enough, guests went home with mix CDs containing songs compiled by Marc and Simone. "On the inside jacket, Marc used the song titles to recap 'the story of us,'" adds Simone.
Reflecting back on the beautiful day, the bride contends that every fantasy she had as a child was fulfilled. "My wedding was something I had always thought about, ever since I was a little girl – and it all felt perfect. I was marrying my soul mate, and I was just really overwhelmed with happiness."

BkiUgh7xK7IAEwOJKSOr | Q: Browser HTML5 turn-based multiplayer game with ASP.NET (MVC 4) reasonable? as the title says, I want to develop a browser multiplayer game with HTML5.
The game will be something like "risk", the turn-based strategy game. I decided to develop with HTML5 and the new canvas.
But the problem is on the server side. When I google, I only get answers, where people use "System.io", "node.js" etc. for that.
So my question is:
Is ASP.NET - especially MVC 4 - a bad choice for my purpose? I would like to do that with asp.net, but of course not when there is an easier/more suited option.
Some people say asp.net is not suited for that, it's too complicated and so on.
But I ask you pros out there :D
Would you consider developing a game like that with asp.net mvc 4 or better stick to other solutions with system.io and node.js and other frameworks? (php?)
I hope you can help my out, that stresses me for weeks now :(
Thanks in Advance!
Greetings from Munich

A: Asp.net, especially MVC is well suited to develop an html5 based game.
A turn based game, is not very different from a web based chat. Where you send messages between members via the server.
To design a scalable solution, you got to use the right methods though.
You have various options to communicate between users.
Libraries like SignalR would help. If you do want to do it yourself, the most efficient method is to use a IHttpAsyncHandler and ajax requests. In MVC the equivalend it AsyncController.
Frameworks like node.js are designed to be async, and thus well suited. Php out of the box is not a good choice for such applications as it doesn't support async requests.
To sum it up, asp.net is not a bad choice, but you need to know how to use it. If you are more comfortable with another framework like node.js, then you should choose that one. Familiarity reduces a lot of development time.

BkiUd3w4ubng_t84ZzfL | The death of an innocent person is no time to say I told you so, but the recent fatal DWI accident in Ocean County involving 25-year-old American Idol contestant, Alexis Cohen, points up something that no one should ever contemplate when pulled over for driving while intoxicated. As a New Jersey drunk driving lawyer, I'm holding this incident up as an object lesson of what NOT to do. Never attempt to flee from the police. Nothing good can come of it.
In this instance, what might have been a relatively simple case of driving under the influence of alcohol coupled with a minor parking lot fender-bender instead turned into a tragic case of vehicular manslaughter. According to reports, a 23-year-old Toms River, NJ, man had left the scene of the fender-bender next to Hemingway's Bar shortly before 4 a.m. last Saturday when his 2005 Mitsubishi Galant struck and killed Cohen, who was on foot.
The driver, Daniel Bark, allegedly hit a parked car in the lot adjacent to the bar, after which a bicycle-mounted Seaside Heights police officer attempted to stop the man. According to news reports, Bark fled west on Dupont Avenue and turned right onto Bay Boulevard, traveling north in the southbound lane. Authorities believe that this is where Bark hit the pedestrian, Ms. Miss Cohen.
Instead of stopping, Bark reportedly continued along Bay Boulevard for a couple of blocks until officers in patrol cars intercepted him at Hamilton Avenue as he headed for the bridge to Toms River. At the time, officers did not know that Ms. Cohen had been hit by the suspect.
Police records show that Bark, who refused a Breathalyzer test, had a previous drunken driving conviction from April 2004, after which his driver's license was suspended for 90 days. He was arrested and issued summonses stemming from the traffic stop, including driving while intoxicated, four counts of failure to yield or stop, reckless driving, failure to report an accident, driving without insurance, leaving the scene of an accident, failure to stay to the right, refusing a Breathalyzer test, failure to wear a seatbelt, failure to obey an officer's command, careless driving and traveling the wrong way on a one-way street.
This was all before police learned of the pedestrian fatality allegedly caused by Bark. Police re-arrested the man a day later and charged him with Cohen's death. He now has additional charges to deal with including aggravated manslaughter, death by auto and eluding police. As I said, nothing good ever comes from fleeing an officer of the law. | c4 | 4 | 1 | 5 | 2 |
BkiUdUnxaKgT1SKe0Lrl | NOAA Fisheries is accepting comments on an application for an exempted fishing permit (EFP) from Salty Bones Fisheries. The applicant proposes to test various spiny lobster traps and a fish aggregation device based, non-containment purse trap to harvest lionfish from in Gulf of Mexico (Gulf) and South Atlantic federal waters. Sampling is proposed to occur during the spiny lobster closed season (April 1 through July 31). This study intends to examine the efficiency and effectiveness of the various trap designs for targeting lionfish while limiting bycatch and adverse effects to protected species and habitat. The research would also derive biological life history information to improve lionfish control. In addition, the project would provide information on potential ecological and economic benefits of a lionfish fishery. These results provide the opportunity to gain industry support and provide management information on the use of traps as a viable lionfish harvest gear in the Gulf and South Atlantic. Only lionfish would be harvested under this EFP.
The comment period is open now through April 2, 2018. You may submit comments by electronic submission or by postal mail. Comments sent by any other method (such as e-mail), to any other address or individual, or received after the end of the comment period, may not be considered by NOAA Fisheries.
Click the "Comment Now!" icon, complete the required fields.
Mail: Submit written comments to Kelli O'Donnell, NOAA Fisheries, Southeast Regional Office, 263 13th Avenue South, St. Petersburg, FL 33701.
Sampling would occur in two regions off the lower Florida Keys in the Gulf and South Atlantic, up to four times per month in each region during the Florida spiny lobster closed season, April 1 through July 31.
Spiny lobster trap designs would include all wire traps, in addition to wood and wire traps. In year 1 and 2 1,000 of each design in the Gulf and 500 of each design in the South Atlantic would be deployed for a total 3,000 total traps. All traps would have modified funnel dimensions and would be deployed at depths from 65-300 ft.
Vessels would also deploy up to 15 purse traps in year 1 (all 15 could be fished in Gulf or South Atlantic or the 15 could be divided between the two regions) and up to 120 total in year 2 (80 in Gulf and 40 in South Atlantic). All traps would be deployed at depths from 65-300 ft.
Data to be collected per trip would include: gear configuration and fishing effort data (e.g., date and time of deployment and retrieval, latitude, longitude, and water depth of each deployed trawl, bait type used); soak time per area for each trawl; alternative weight and trawl configurations used in different sea states and conditions; trap loss and movement from original set position; protected species interactions; bycatch species, amount, and disposition; and lionfish catch data for each trap type.
Only lionfish would be harvested.
NOAA Fisheries finds this application warrants further consideration, and is seeking public comment on the application. A final decision on issuance of the EFP will depend on NOAA Fisheries' review of public comments received, the Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management Council's and the South Atlantic Fishery Management Council's recommendations, consultations with the affected states, and the U.S. Coast Guard, as well as a determination that it is consistent with all applicable laws. | c4 | 4 | 3 | 5 | 2 |
