BkiUdEQ4eIXhqTbAZv2x | It's never a "good time" to increase the minimum wage.
According to Megan Henney for FOXBusiness, "President Biden's push to raise the federal minimum wage to $15 an hour as part of a broader coronavirus relief package could be a 'death knell' for businesses still reeling from the pandemic, according to a new study published this week."
A "death knell?"
That seems overly dramatic to me.
"The report, authored by researchers at the University of Kentucky, Indiana University and Washington University in St. Louis, found that hiking the minimum wage hurts new entrants into the labor market, based on data from six states that increased their minimum rate."
It also "hurts" when you're a worker and you can't pay your bills.
Can we all agree that someone can get a "report" to basically support whatever narrative the want to push?
"When the minimum wage increased, businesses — particularly those making tradeable goods, such as the manufacturing sector — reduced the number of new workers they were hiring, the study found."
Just for the record, the federal minimum wage was last increased July 24, 2009, when it rose from $6.55 to $7.25 per hour.
Whoa! Be still my heart!
So, the minimum wage has been stuck on $7.25 an hour for over ten years!
So much for even a cost of living increase.
'"While the overall number of low-wage workers declines following a minimum wage increase, incumbent workers are no less likely to remain employed,' the report said."
"Given that the U.S. unemployment rate is still hovering at 6.7%, Radhakrishnan Gopalan, one of the study's authors and a finance professor at Washington University in St. Louis, argued now is not the time to hike the minimum wage."
Like I said, there is never a good time to raise the minimum wage for all of the people not forced to work for the minimm wage.
"Roughly 800,000 Americans have been filing for unemployment benefits each week over the past five months — nearly four times the pre-crisis level — and there are about 9.8 million more out of work Americans now than compared to February, before the crisis began."
Yes…, thanks to the oppressive and draconian lock-downs, mostly dictated by clueless blue state governors.
'"Small businesses are especially hurting from the pandemic,' Gopalan said. 'The restaurant sector, which employs a significant number of minimum wage workers, and the retail sector are struggling. Raising the minimum wage now would spell a death knell for many small restaurants.'"
Again, the so-called "death knell" has already been caused by these "non-science" based lockdowns.
Believe me, big and small businesses will all deal having to pay their emplyees a decent wage.
They'll deal with it.
They all manage to deal with tax increases.
They all manage to deal with additional regulations and regulation changes.
They all manage to deal with cost increases in other areas.
They all seem to be able to manage to deal with everything else except paying their employees a livable wage!
"A recent analysis published by the Congressional Budget Office [CBO], a nonpartisan agency [There is no such thing by the way.], found that as many as 3.7 million workers could lose their jobs as a result of the minimum wage increase. At the same time, the CBO projects that some 17 million workers would receive a pay boost."
"Could" and "would" definitely come from two different perspectives.
One perspective is what is possible to happen, and the other perspective deals with what will happen.
I do think it is reasonable to believe there will be a loss of some slave labor jobs, however, when these businesses are forced to act more fairly towards their workers.
'"For most low-wage workers, earnings and family income would increase, which would lift some families out of poverty,' the report said. 'But other low-wage workers would become jobless, and their family income would fall—in some cases, below the poverty threshold.'"
The truth is MANY families would be lifted out of poverty, while others would just remain there.
"And although raising the minimum wage could boost spending among low-income Americans, Gopalan argued the Biden administration should wait until 2022 to implement an increase to allow the economy and unemployment rate to recover from the economic shock of the pandemic."
'"Having said that, the multiple stimulus packages have put a lot of money in people's hands, so one is talking about demand in the economy possibly outstripping supply once the pandemic is brought under control,' he said. 'Some are already cautioning about the economy overheating.'"
Well, we'll definitely have to be on look-out for the "economy overheating!"
That sounds like an economic windfall…, for everyone except those making $7.25 an hour, of course!
Maybe a raising of the minimum wage will be exactly what the economy needs to cool it down a bit!
"The pandemic has already devastated small businesses, which employ roughly 59 million Americans, or about 47.5% of the nation's entire workforce. One estimate from Yelp found that between April and September of last year, 160,000 businesses closed — or about 800 per day."
Like I said earlier…, the pandemic didn't devastate anything economically…, oppressive and draconian lock-downs, mostly dictated by clueless blue state governors, did.
"Biden is seeking to raise the minimum wage from $7.25 per hour, where it's remained for the past decade, to $15 per hour and to end the tipped minimum wage and sub-minimum wage for people with disabilities."
Don't even get me started on the tipped minimum wage and sub-minimum wage for people with disabilities.
Let's just say the "tipped minimum wage" should just be "the" minimum wage. Tips should be tips, and not considered part of a person's wage.
And the minimum wage for people with disabilities is completely illegal in my opinion.
Have any of these geniuses ever heard of the The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, or ADA, which is a civil rights law that prohibits discrimination based on disability?
It seems like they haven't.
"Separately, a group of Democratic lawmakers reintroduced legislation on Tuesday to raise the federal minimum wage to $15 per hour by 2025."
By 2025?!
'"Let's be clear: The $7.25 an hour federal minimum wage is a starvation wage,' Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, the incoming chairman of the Senate Budget Committee, said during a call with reporters. 'No person in America can make it on $8, $10 or $12 an hour.'"
Well, I can now say I agreed with Senator Sanders at least once.
Anyway…, okay…, here we go.
MrEricksonRules is going to apply some reasonable common sense here.
My minimum wage proposal would be as follows:
$8.00 per hour minimum wage for all 16-17 year-olds (True "entry level" high school aged employees.).
$10.00 per hour minimum wage for all 18-22 year-olds (True "entry level" college aged employees.).
$15.00 per hour minimum wage for all 23 year-olds and over (for people who are actually trying to make a living.).
Let's remember that at $15.00 an hour these people are still not getting rich, but at least they can live.
At $15.00 an hour an individual will make $600 gross and $460 net a week, or net $1,840 a month, which is $22,080 a year.
If you take into consideration rent, a car, gas, utilities, a phone, and food, these people are still only just getting by, but at least they can get by.
If we don't supply a living wage for these older workers, what alternatives do they have?
They can go on an entitlement program and live off of government assistance.
What is the better option?
I would much rather pay a little more for goods and services than just support these people entirely.
I would much rather support people who are willing to work for a living than those who don't or those who can't support themselves.
Why is it their burden to insure everyone else a cheaper burger or a cheaper anything?
I feel it is a sin for all of us to take advantage of the "working poor" in our country, just so the rest of us can afford a little more.
Not to mention all of the companies and businesses, big and small, who take advantage of them, while affording multi-million dollar salaries to CEOs and other executives, sizeable profits to shareholders, and very comfortable lives to other business owners.
If you'd like to comment on my proposal, or try and defend the current $7.25 an hour minimum wage, I'd love to hear from you. I may even do a follow-up blog incorporating the comments I receive.

BkiUa6U5qhLACFWlwppu | Q: C++ Creating a parking charge I am having to create a program that reads from the user what time they entered a parking garage and what time they left. The program uses this information to then figure out how much it costed the person to park there. For under 30 minutes, it's free. After 30 minutes and up to 2 hours, it is a $3 base charge, plus 5 cents every minute in excess of 30 minutes. Beyond 2 hours, it is an $8 base charge, plus 10 cents every minute in excess of 2 hours. I have so far got to convert the time the user inputted into all minutes. I am now stuck on what to do for the rest of my functions. I am new to programming, and the arguments in a function still confuse me. If you are able to help or provide any feedback, please tell in the comment section how the arguments were implemented to get the code to run correctly. Here is my code thus far:
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int elapsed_time(int entry_time, int exit_time)
{
int total = 0;
total = (exit_time / 100) * 60 + (exit_time % 100) - (entry_time / 100) * 60
+ (entry_time % 100);
return total;
} // returns elapsed time in total minutes
double parking_charge(int total_minutes) {
double total = 0;
double cents = 0;
if(total_mins < 30){
return 0;
}
else if (total_mins <= 120){
cents = (total_mins - 30) * 0.05;
return total = 3 + cents;
}
else{
cents = (total_mins - 120) * 0.10;
return total = 4.5 + 8 + cents;
}
} // returns parking charge
void print_results(total_minutes, double charge)
{
cout << "The charge of parking was: " << parking_charge(total_minutes)
}
int main() {
int entry_time = 0;
int exit_time = 0;
cout << "What was the entry time? (Enter in 24 hour time with no colon) ";
cin >> entry_time;
cout << "What was the exit time? (Enter in 24 hour time with no colon) ";
cin >> exit_time;
cout << print_results(total_minutes, charge);
}
I have updated my code with a working parking charge function. I am now aiming to get the print_results function working correctly and finding out how to get all of this to work together in the main function. Thanks to all for the help so far.
A: Your are almost done, You have need to call functions properly in main function. Declare two variables in main function totalTime and totalChargethen call the function
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int elapsed_time(int entry_time, int exit_time)
{
int total = 0;
total = (exit_time / 100) * 60 + (exit_time % 100) - (entry_time / 100) * 60
+ (entry_time % 100);
return total;
} // returns elapsed time in total minutes
double parking_charge(int total_minutes)
{
int charge;
if (total_minutes <= 30)
charge = 0;
else if (120 > total_minutes < 30)
charge = (3 + (0.05 * total_minutes));
else
charge = (8 + (0.10 * total_minutes));
} // returns parking charge
void print_results(double charge)
{
cout << "The charge of parking was: " << charge;
}
int main()
{
double charge,minutes;
int entry_time,exit_time;
cout << "What was the entry time? (Enter in 24 hour time with no colon) ";
cin >> entry_time;
cout << "What was the exit time? (Enter in 24 hour time with no colon) ";
cin >> exit_time;
minutes=elapsed_time(entry_time,exit_time);
charge=parking_charge(minutes);
print_results( charge);

Hugh Bolton Jones
Oil on canvas .
Full size image Download image Print page
Barbara Novak's vivid description of the artists using the train as "a moving platform from which to inspect the landscape" aptly describes Hugh Bolton Jones's sketching excursions during the summer of 1873. He travelled by rail through Maryland and Virginia using both the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad and the Western Maryland Railroad to explore the landscape and collect material for paintings. Jones would have been aware that the value of such landscapes had been enhanced by the publication the previous year of the first volume of William Cullen Bryant's Picturesque America, which included several illustrated essays on Virginia and the Blue Ridge Mountain scenery.
The paintings from his excursions exhibited in Baltimore at the Charity Art Exhibition the following year received favourable reviews, but it was Summer in the Blue Ridge at the forty-ninth Annual Exhibition of the National Academy of Design in New York that established the young artist's reputation. The exhibition was considered one of the finest held by the academy, and the New York Evening Post extolled Jones' painting as "One of the most brilliant works by the new men or rising artists [...] which in the freshness and beauty of its treatment can hardly be excelled." More importantly, the painting was singled out by the powerful critic, Clarence Cook, writing for the New York Daily Tribune. Cook was obviously not familiar with Jones's work, although the artist had been showing in the academy's exhibitions since 1867. "Summer in the Blue Ridge, by Mr. H. Bolton Jones, " he wrote, "is a pleasant picture, agreeably composed, showing the fruits of study, and with natural feeling. If, as we learn, Mr. Jones is a young artist, we must hear more of him hereafter; this is most creditable, if it be an early work."
Only in the review of the New York Times is there a hint of censure regarding Jones's painting. It reported that while Summer in the Blue Ridge gave a very faithful representation of the area with the foliage rendered with remarkable care and crispness, the colour pure and truthful, "there scarcely seems to be sufficient atmosphere in the picture. The distinction between foreground and middle distance has not been sufficiently observed." It is apparent that is was the painter's more progressive tendencies, the breadth of his landscape with its affinities to the Barbizon painters (whose work Jones could have seen on his 1870 trip to Europe), that attracted the critics to his work. Those elements in Jones' painting which reflected earlier American landscapes -he was later criticised for his "interest in all the minutiae of nature which characterised the old Hudson River School"- are the qualities which the reviewers found objectionable. Two years later Jones would travel to France with his brother, settling for a time at Pont-Aven, where his bonds with French painting would grow stronger.
Jones's rural landscape no longer carries the nationalistic feelings of the harvest, often equated with the millennium, found in the mid-century Hudson River landscapes of Frederic E. Church and Jasper F. Cropsey. His canvas retains the panoramic format of the Hudson River painters, but the figures are larger and assume a different significance. The farmer is a simple labourer, not an emblem of the American yeoman, as Jones is concerned with the activities of the harvesters, rather than their symbolic importance within his pastoral countryside.

How Many Episodes Is 'Sherlock' Season 4? People Are Hoping For More
By Kathleen Walsh
After three long years, the beloved BBC series Sherlock is back for Season 4, with even more adventures and crime-solving drama than ever before, which means we need to savor each and every moment. But how many episodes is Sherlock Season 4? The past three seasons have all had just three 120-minute episodes, and it looks like this season is no different, sorry to disappoint. According to the show's official website, Sherlock will return for three episodes, entitled "The Six Thatchers," "The Lying Detective," and "The Final Problem." The first episode was written by show co-creator and the actor who plays Sherlock's brother, Mycroft, Mark Gatiss. The second two were written by co-creator Stephen Moffat, of Doctor Who fame.
Though the title of the third episode "The Final Problem," sounds rather, well, final, there's no word on whether or not this will be Sherlock's last season of the series. Of course, if history is any indication, if there is a fifth season, we'll be waiting years to actually see it. Perhaps by then Trump will be out of office and the world will have righted itself on it's axis again. What we do know is that life has changed for the super-detective and his affable partner in crime(solving). For starters, Watson and his wife Mary have had a baby.
Though Benedict Cumberbach, who plays Sherlock Holmes, is a father and knows how to interact with babies, his character is a little less comfortable with tiny humans. As reported in The Hollywood Reporter, Cumberbach said of his character, "I think Sherlock feels very protective toward them as a family, but he's not a natural or a figure of authority when it comes to a newborn." No kidding. Sherlock has always had a bit of trouble when it comes to trivial things like basic socialization, so I can't wait to see how that plays out with a child in the mix.
The outlet also included the information that Cumberbach will get to work with a dog this season as well, a bloodhound that's not actually that fond of lots of humans, to be honest. "He was very sweet, but was a bit afraid of being in the center of town, afraid of too many people and not great on hard surfaces," the actor said during the same THR interview. Now that sounds like my kind of dog.
Though it's only for three episodes, I can't wait to see what kind of mysteries Sherlock and his friends will be solving next. | commoncrawl | 4 | 1 | 5 | 1 |

By Jim Steinberg | jsteinberg@scng.com | San Bernardino Sun
PUBLISHED: November 25, 2017 at 10:15 pm | UPDATED: November 25, 2017 at 11:45 pm
A few weeks ago, ski operators in the San Bernardino Mountains were anticipating a robust winter environment for playing in the snow for the Thanksgiving Weekend.
On Saturday, Nov. 25, however, Big Bear Lake wasn't winter-like as it tied a record high temperature — 71 degrees.
The last time a Nov. 25 was that warm was in 1977, said Brandt Maxwell, a National Weather Service meteorologist in San Diego.
In Los Angeles County, the tiny community of Sandberg, the highest point along Interstate 5's Grapevine area, reached a record high temperature of 81, breaking the old record of 76 set in 1995, Maxwell said.
In Ontario, the high Saturday was 88, down from 92 degrees on Thanksgiving Day.
And Sunday, Nov. 26, high temperatures will be in the lower 80s across the Inland Empire, with a 30 percent chance of rain emerging into Monday morning, Maxwell said.
At most the clouds could drop a 10th of an inch of rainfall Monday, he said.
Santa Ana should see a high of 75 on Sunday with clouds moving in during the evening. Monday will bring cooler temperatures and a 30 percent chance of showers during the day, the Weather Service reported for Santa Ana.
Temperatures are expected to reach 76 degrees Sunday in downtown Los Angeles with a 30 percent chance of showers Sunday night, the Weather Service said.

BkiUcYzxK2li-Hhr_IAP | Quantic Dream denies allegations of homophobia, racism and toxic studio culture
David Cage "shocked" and "outraged" as preliminary investigation by Paris public prosecutor is opened
French developer Quantic Dream has come under fire over the weekend after employee claims of harassment, inappropriate humour and more in the studio environment.
The allegations stem from three separate French publications, with employee interviews suggesting homophobia, racism, sexism and overwhelming workloads are the core of a toxic studio culture.
Articles in Le Monde, Mediapart and Canard PC offer more concrete examples, including reports of around 600 offensive photoshopped images of employees and a general 'schoolboy' atmosphere of offensive jokes.
Le Monde also reports that a preliminary investigation for harassment and discrimination has been opened by the office of Paris' public prosecutor.
A lot of the criticism centres around president and founder David Cage, who is accused of making "grievous jokes", his "lack of consideration for female coworkers" and the constant pressure on employees while working on projects such as Heavy Rain and Beyond: Two Souls.
One of the most cited examples is Cage's response to watching a video of a recorded robbery. He allegedly turned to an employee from Tunisia and jokingly asked: "Is this a cousin of yours?"
Both Cage and general manager Guillaume Fondaumiére said they are "shocked" and "outraged" by the accusations, attributing them to former and "frustrated" employees. There are also accusations of inappropriate behaviour towards women targeted at Fondaumiére.
Speaking to Le Monde, Cage said: "You want to talk homophobia? We work with Ellen Page who is fighting for LGBT right. You want to talk racism? We are working with Jesse Williams on civil rights in the USA. Judge my work."
This is perhaps not the best defence given the controversy caused by Cage's latest work, the upcoming Detroit: Become Human. Back in November, a trailer for the title prompted complaints for its depiction of child abuse.
Quantic Dream has also released an official statement via Twitter, which reads: "We categorically deny all of these allegations. Quantic Dream filed a complaint several months ago and further complaints will follow.
"Inappropriate conduct or practices have no place at Quantic Dream. We have taken and always will take such grievances very seriously. We value every single person who works at Quantic Dream. It is of utmost importance to us that we maintain a safe environment that allows us all to channel our shared passion for making video games."
Two employees have also reportedly defended the studio via Twitter, with one claiming "the atmosphere is great, nothing toxic" and that the allegations are "a fabric of lies".
Lead programmer Aurélien Loizeau wrote the claims are "a lot of bullshit" and added that, while the studio isn't perfect, the fact that employees work an average of seven years suggests the environment must be agreeable to work in.

BkiUe3HxK2li-LM1SpWp | When The Dark Crystal was released in 1982, it was a distinct departure from Jim Henson's usual oeuvre of quirky, family-friendly puppeteering. Considering all the creepy scenes and characters, it's far darker and more bizarre than audiences at the time realized or anticipated. The story was heavily influenced by Grimms' Fairy Tales, which are far from cheerful little yarns, and, before filming, Henson had the entire creative team read the 1972 book Seth Speaks: The Eternal Validity of the Soul. The book is a chronicle of author Jane Roberts's experiences channeling a multidimensional being who spoke at length about metaphysics through Roberts while she was in a trance. Not the sunniest pre-production work for a children's film.
The Dark Crystal follows an elf-like creature named Jen who goes on a mission to find the lost piece of a powerful crystal. If he finds the shard and can restore the gem, balance and harmony will return to the alien kingdom he inhabits. As his journey unfolds, he encounters unimaginable horrors that have haunted young audiences for decades. Some of the dark elements from the film are monstrous beings, while others deal with the grim nature of the characters themselves.
Kira is another elven creature who acts as Jen's love interest in The Dark Crystal. Unfortunately, there is no happily-ever-after for the two sweethearts, as Kira suffers a horrific demise in the film's climax. One of the Skeksis stabs her, and the scene is shockingly graphic for a family film. It feels like something out of a horror movie.
But The Dark Crystal portrays Kira's passing as a sacrifice that allows Jen to get his hands on the missing piece of the crystal. It may be necessary for the narrative, but it's still extremely harsh.
The Podlings are gentle, peaceful creatures whose only aim in life is to experience and share their joy. This all comes to a grinding halt when Jim Henson decides to mistreat them. In one scene, a Podling has the "juice" drained out of his mind, and viewers watch in horror as this lovable being is reduced to mush to preserve the Skeksis emperor's youth.
Things get even more troubling when the emperor drinks the juice he has just siphoned from the Podling.
For being an aspirational protagonist, Jen is extremely creepy. This is not a cute, cuddly little Muppet, a handsome adventurer, or a fantastical being that naturally exudes charm and grace. Jen has sallow skin, long brown-and-silver-streaked hair, two large elven ears, and a Planet of the Apes-like mouth. He also has wide, blank eyes and wears a cream-colored tunic. Jen is meant to exude intelligence and innocence, but his appearance is uncanny and unsettling.
Jen's age is never revealed, but he could easily pass for either a tween or a senior citizen.
Another character meets an excruciating end relatively early in the movie. The original Skeksis emperor struggles through his last moments, first hissing at his attendants, then gasping frantically for air as his eyes roll back in his head.
But Henson, being the maniacal genius he is, isn't content to stop there. He has the emperor's face cave in and turns to ash. | c4 | 5 | 2 | 5 | 3 |

BkiUa7o5jDKDyE8-KcPt | After Longest Season Ever, Muskegon Drive-in Finally Closes For the Winter
Janna Published: January 4, 2021
The Getty Drive-In in Muskegon is finally shutting down for the year after its longest season ever. The last showings were Sunday, January 3.
Usually wrapping up its season around Labor Day, the Getty Drive-In stayed open much longer this year due to the increase in customers amid COVID-19 restrictions. While indoor movie theaters have been allowed to reopen, they are currently not able to sell concessions.
According to Wood TV 8, that's why some customers have kept coming to the drive-in: they want to be able to eat and watch a movie at the same time. Others say they feel safer with the drive-in experience, as it allows for more social distancing during the pandemic.
Kevin Sims, who manages the Getty Drive-In, tells Wood TV 8:
"This is totally new for me. I've been here 39 years and I'm experiencing things for the first time. I didn't know how many people were going to come out but they kept on coming out and I was surprised every week at the crowds. But I think they got to the point where they were enjoying the drive-in and it became part of their routine."
While the mild winter we've had so far has allowed for the extended season, Sims tells Wood TV 8 that they decided it's time to finally shut down for the season:
"With the drive-in, the cost of keeping it plowed and clean would far outdo what we would make. So it's just a business decision that has to be made. But hey, we made it to Jan. 3, which is unbelievable to me."
The Getty Drive-In will reopen in April.

BkiUbxzxK6nrxrSHeF68 | Krown-design is a fresh design label for high performance and natural products that are safe and sustainable.
From the world of art and design, Eric Klarenbeek has always searched for applications of new(/old) materials. His Mycelium Chair is famous. From the world of packaging, Jan Berbee was in contact with Ecovative to bring the applications of Mushroom Packaging to Europe. This shared knowledge and passion formed the basis of Krown-Design.
Well, anything is possible. Any shape and size. Also, the look and feel of a product can be tuned to fit your unique needs. We can adjust mass, resilience and surface of the finished product. Contact us for special and custom requests. And/or take a look in our shop.
Krown-design products are found in interiors, packaging, building and construction. New possibilities arise constantly, such as production sets for TV shows.
Buoyant, did you know that even surf boards can be made?
We 3D print our reusable moulds with a renewable biopolymer, and we can shred and reprint them over and over again in-house. These moulds are filled with local agricultural waste, a little water and mycelium that binds it all together. We only have to wait for the structure to grow and gain its strength, which takes around a week. Once it's full-grown and dried, it turns into a structural, stable and renewable product. And: at the end of it's useful life our products can be used as fertilizer for our surroundings. Just break the product in pieces and let the composting process go on.
Most modern products are made through energy intensive industrial processes and transportation. Krown-design makes the production cycle smaller, smarter and local. We grow our products using bio-based materials and organic waste streams. Mycelium is infinitely available and acts as the living glue to bind this organic waste. Let's join forces to strive for a less plastic and oil dependent economy!
Krown focusses on greenest and cleanest production method imaginable on the planet. We search for ways to produce while absorbing emission. Is this revolutionary? Yes, because in the modern factories this has never been used. No, because mycelium is one of the oldest materials on our planet. We just use the power of nature to grow products. | c4 | 4 | 2 | 5 | 2 |

6 unique ideas for your next date in NYC
Photo: oneinchpunch/Shutterstock
There's nothing wrong with going to a local dive bar or for a walk in the park, but sometimes, you need to shake up your dating game and try something new. A date is no time to be bored, and New York City has plenty of exciting, fun things on offer for you to choose from that'll ensure the both of you have a good time. Whether you're in a relationship or looking to really impress your Tinder date, here are six unique ideas for your next date in NYC.
1. Try an escape room.
Photo: Escape The Room
What better way to test your compatibility than by locking yourselves in a room for an hour? Escape The Room offers six different rooms, ranging from a city riddled with cloned dinosaurs to a nuclear power plant. You and your date will have to put your heads together to make sense of clues and get out in a race against the clock. Prices depend on the room you book, but they're usually around $20-$40. There's a chance that other people may be locked in with you since each room allows up to a certain number of people, but in addition to seeing how compatible you two are, you'll get to see how well your date works with others.
Where: 8th Floor, 24 W 25th St, New York, NY 10010
2. Visit a brewery.
Photo: The Brooklyn Brewery/Facebook
Instead of going to a bar for your date, change it up and go to an actual brewery. New York's no stranger to the brewing scene, and there are a ton of breweries that offer tours that provide insight into the craft. We recommend Brooklyn Brewery. From Monday to Friday, there are small group tours for $18 during which visitors can learn about the brewery's history, tour the facilities, and taste four of Brooklyn Brewery's beers. On Saturdays and Sundays, there are free tours offered; however, there are 40 tour tickets available every half hour, so it won't be as intimate of an experience. Whether you reserve your weekday tickets in advance or show up on the day or on a weekend, just make sure to bring ID.

3. Immerse yourself in theater.

If the idea of sitting unmoving in a chair for two hours or more doesn't amuse you, then becoming part of the show yourself definitely will. Sleep No More is an immersive theater experience based on Shakespeare's Macbeth but adapted to a 1930s setting in the McKittrick Hotel. The action happens throughout the hotel simultaneously, and guests can wander in and out of rooms, viewing different scenes. All guests are required to wear masks once the experience begins, and they're encouraged to interact with the actors.

4. Hop on a ferry to New York's most overlooked borough.

Just by getting out of Manhattan and crossing over into Staten Island, you've already taken your first steps toward having an interesting date. To get there, you'll have to make use of the free Staten Island Ferry, which provides incredible views of the NYC skyline. The city backdrop adds a magical touch to any outing, but you'll want to head over to Snug Harbor Cultural Center & Botanical Garden afterward. There are several art galleries within the center and nine beautiful sprawling gardens all around it. The most popular one is the Chinese Scholar's Garden, which is based on gardens from the Ming Dynasty with eight pavilions, a bamboo forest, waterfalls, a Koi pond, and rock formations. Depending on where you go, there'll be a small admission fee.

5. Embrace your inner artist.

Committing a rebellious act and getting that adrenaline running is one way to bring two people closer together, and with a graffiti workshop, you can get that exhilarating rush and learn something new — without breaking the law. A street artist working with Graff Tours help participants learn about the art of graffiti and create a street art project of their very own. The workshop is offered at First Street Green Cultural Park in Manhattan and at their locations in Bushwick, Brooklyn. It's $40 per person for a small group lesson and $150 total if you want a private one.
Where: Manhattan and Brooklyn
6. Combine dinner and a movie.
Photo: Alamo Drafthouse NYC/Facebook
Dinner and a movie is a tried-and-true date idea, but combining the two could make for an extra special experience, and the Alamo Drafthouse lets patrons do just that. While it does have typical movie theater fare like popcorn, nachos, and candy, the dine-in theater also serves up food such as avocado toast, salads, flatbread sandwiches, tacos, and burgers. The Alamo has an extensive drink list, including cocktails, spirits, wine, and beer. And if you're worried about making a fool of yourself in front of your date by balancing all that on your lap, don't be; between every two seats is a table where you can cozy up and make yourself at home.

BkiUad7xK6-gD0SrawZg | Seattle Seahawks WIN Super Bowl By Leaving It In God's Hands! | It's the Women, Not the Men!
Seattle Seahawks WIN Super Bowl By Leaving It In God's Hands!
Congratulations to the Seattle Seahawks on winning the XLVIII Super Bowl Game.
I posted an interview by Pastor Mark Driscoll, with five of the Seahawks players, including quarterback Russell Wilson, last Friday. Within that post I expressed my hope that these fine men, all of whom professed and reaffirmed their faith in Jesus during the interview, would win the Super Bowl.
In addition, it was my hope that Tim Tebow, who was subjected to non-stop vilification for his faith while playing professional football in 2011, would be pleased to see that there are brave young Christian professional sportsmen who are following in his footsteps and publicly affirming their faith in Jesus.
Well, not only did the Seattle Seahawks win the Super Bowl, they crushed the Denver Broncos, who were favored to win – 43 to 8! This was definitely one for the Good Guys!
Quarterback Russell Wilson continued the affirmation of his love for Jesus when he began the game by making the sign of the cross on the field. I'm sure Tim Tebow would be pleased.
So, not only did the Seahawks attest to their faith in their public interview with Driscoll before the game, they reaffirmed and signaled their faith while entering the field, they fought valiantly and won the game and just for good measure, they walloped the Broncos, all in the name of the Lord! Now, no one could ask for more from this resounding victory.
But, yes, it gets better. Although I'm sure that Tim Tebow was pleased with all of the above accomplishments, there is one more thing for which Tim may be personally pleased.
You see the defeated Broncos quarterback, Patton Manning, was the guy who replaced Tim as the Broncos quarterback. Tim was unceremoniously traded (despite Tim's winning record) to NY Jets because he was embroiled in his faith-based, media "scandal" AND, the Bronco's management failed to support him in any way. So, they more than deserved the stomping they got today.
And, although Mr. Tebow, who is a devout Christian, would probably not put it in these words – Ah! Revenge is Sweet!
When Super Bowl Sunday came around, I didn't know who to root for, so I thought I would root for the Broncos (maybe because I have hitchhiked more through Denver than Seattle) (I wanted the Packers to go all the way, but that didn't happen).
I remember well the season that Tim Tebow led the Broncos to the playoffs. Then, to my surprise, when the season ended, the Broncos traded him to the Jets. Soon after the trade, I was watching The 700 Club and Pat Robertson said in so many words that the Broncos would regret treating Tebow so poorly.
If the Lord wants to embarrass someone, He really knows how to do it—and sometimes the whole world will be watching. This reminds me of how the Lord humiliated Pharaoh of Egypt when he finally let the Israelites go: the Lord destroyed the economy and the military of the most powerful nation on the planet at the time, He freed the Israelites from slavery and the Lord's name was glorified in the earth.
The Lord waited for the biggest day in football to embarrass the Denver Broncos. And Denver arguably had the greatest quarterback in history (Peyton Manning) at the helm.
In a championship game, the teams should be evenly matched; the winner should win by no more than seven to ten points. The Seahawks blew the Broncos out of the water. Seattle 43, Denver 8. | c4 | 3 | 1 | 4 | 1 |

BkiUbEI5qsNCPSsgZvP2 | Russian specialists continue teaching Syrian combat engineers to save lives, a military officer said.
ALEPPO (Sputnik) — The first group of 56 Syrian sappers, trained by the Russian Armed Forces International Mine Action Center experts, started mine clearance operations in Aleppo, the head of the sapper unit of the Syrian Aleppo garrison, Al-Hari Mahriz, said Wednesday.
"The first 56 people underwent training and started operating … We took over a very dangerous operation vital for peace restoration in our homeland Syria. All that [Russian] sappers had taught us and continue to teach is saving lives. And the experience of the Russian professionals is priceless," he told reporters.
A branch of the Russian Armed Forces' International Mine Action Center in Syria was opened in late January. The first group of Syrian sappers was trained and provided with all necessary equipment, according to Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu.
The Russia sappers have been clearing the Aleppo from mines since the city was freed from militants 2016.
The Syrian city of Aleppo, which was considered the economic capital of the country before the beginning of the civil war in 2011, had been under militants' control for several years and had been significantly damaged during the conflict. The city was liberated by government forces from militant groups in December 2016, however several militant and extremist groups are still fighting in the province. | c4 | 5 | 1 | 5 | 1 |

BkiUdPfxK6Ot9TMSqynl | As we exit Black History Month, Law Officer takes a brief look at Martin Luther King Jr.'s legacy.
MLK had a dream to share but it is not the same dream as BLM. Martin Luther King, Jr. was a man of faith and principles something BLM would do well to study.
On February 18, 2016, the President of the United States publicly praised the black lives matter movement on television. It is his support of this and other positions that are fueling the fires that have led to the deaths of several police officers since the incident in Ferguson. We should not be surprised by his statements and adoration of this ideology. America has been on a decline for many years and it is directly related to the distance that our people have traveled from their moorings.
There have been those who hate the biblical foundations of this country and have been working for decades now to undermine the truth. This journey has led to what we see in our country today. We have now seen declared from the highest bully pulpit in the land that good is evil and evil is good. Thugs and bullies who are being memorialized as heroes and those who stand in the gap to keep evil from triumphing over good people are now demonized. This same man refuses to celebrate the life of a Supreme Court Justice but uses his power to force the City of Ferguson into reforms that they themselves can't afford to support a lie that never happened.
In nearly every arena that is entered today, evil is rewarded and good demonized. The President attends or send representatives to the funerals of people who violate the law but fails to attend or even recognize the death of those heroes who gave up their lives for the protection of people they most likely don't even know. All of this is to overcome a problem that does not exist. I am not saying that there is no racism (individually) but America is the least racist country in the world today. That can be proven but it does not matter because the media tries its hardest to keep the lie alive. 13% of the population commits about 50% of the murders but that does not make the news. BLM ignores the fact that in most major cities, black on black crime is the biggest killer of young black men because it does not support the rage.
Black History Month has been celebrated since I was a young man. What I remember most from my younger days is there was a man who had a dream. That man made sense to me then and he still resonates today. That man was a reverend who went by the name of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. He dreamed about a day when all people would follow the dictates of the Bible and live by criteria that did not look upon the color of your skin but on how you conducted yourself in daily discourse. We would do well to get back to the teachings of Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr., a man who understood good and evil and preached, lived and died for a cause that recognized that all lives mattered. Dr. King believed that we could live in a color-blind society but there are those who work diligently to make a racial issue out of everything. We would do well to seek out the foundational documents of this country so we could work toward seeking the truth in all matters. The answer to our country's problems are based in finding a standard by which to live and that standard is found in the same place our founding fathers looked when establishing this country. I am sure Martin Luther King, Jr. would agree.
Tim Barfield is in his 35th year as a police officer. He started as a police officer in a rural village before transferring to an inner ring suburb of Cleveland, Ohio. He spent 32 years in that department gaining experience in many areas of police work. In 2014, he accepted a position as police chief for another department. He is a husband, father and grandfather who has a love for police work and police officers with a goal of helping them succeed in a great profession. His responsibilities and desires have included patrol, traffic, DARE, SWAT, training and supervision. He is a member of the International Law Enforcement Educators and Trainers Association. He continues to learn and instruct on subjects with an emphasis on awareness, police survival mindset and ethics.
The hagiography of MLK continues unabated, but if you really dig deep into the history of that time, you'll see that MLK was merely using the right tactic at the right time to achieve his and his followers goals. Many of those followers didn't embrace non-violence, but he argued against any change in policy that could jeopardize collective victim status and thus not maximize guilt in the white population. That he died when he did means that we never got to see him evolve into a Reverend Jackson or Sharpton.
Joe, just what do you base this opinion on? Certainly not from Mr.King's sermons or his public comments. Shy of some solid evidence, this sounds more like historical revisionism. Based on Mr.King's character, and his history, such an evolutionary process as you infer is illogical and baseless in facts. The likes of the men you say King would have become, he would have spoken against. His death unfortunately left a gap through which men of lesser character were able to slip through; then unbridled by Mr. King's moral and ethical moorings.
Additionally, Martin Luther King was properly ordained as a minister of the gospel in the excepted and traditional ways of his Baptist affiliation. He was fully accredited with that earned title, under which he properly served as a primary extension of his life. In contrast, Jackson was given his title after twice leaving school for what appeared to be his true life's motivation-activism. Sharpton on the other hand has absolutely no credible ties to being a proper minister. His claims to being a minister of the gospel have less credibility than my claiming to be an auto mechanic (And for the record, I'm a retired cop-who can barely manage to change his own oil).
With even just what little I have spoken of here, there is no credible basis for the claim that King, had he lived, would've emulated such lesser man as you suggest.
While I love everything reading your articles and being a LEO wife I support you guys 100% the truth is that this country while it began as a religious refuge was built on the foundation that no matter our beliefs, race, sexual orientation or gender that we are all free and as free persons we should expect our government to follow those ideologies and not force their view on us. Obama is a joke, he was from day one the only thing he has managed to do in his time as president is divide this country back to the 60s racial tensions but he is not the only one to take part in tearing us apart, there are no innocent parties in Washington they have all played a roll in tearing get us apart. It is time instead of rushing to the Bible as many would want to do we remove the cancers from our government and clean our country try of the disease they have spread both parties need to go they are equally guilty of the destruction of our country. | c4 | 2 | 4 | 4 | 2 |
BkiUepbxK0-nUGYe6xAQ | Building your custom home is a chance to get what you've always wanted out of your living spaces. You don't need to settle for practical features, such as bigger closets and granite countertops. Instead, you can conveniently indulge yourself and get all the great things you have always dreamt about in a home.
Individually designed homes are customized from the ground up. Everything is tailored specifically to how you live, and are designed based on your lot's orientation, topography, and unique views.
The best custom home builders will understand how you are going to live and customize the design for that lifestyle. By working with the right builder, your custom home can be your most rewarding investment of a lifetime.
If you choose to build your custom home, trusted home builders share below some luxury features to integrate into the design.
An elegant, huge bathtub is a must for relaxing after a stressful day at work. You can have features like chromatherapy added, which filters lights through the water in order to create a soothing effect.
But it would also be a better idea to transform your bathroom into a full home spa. Don't hesitate to ask your custom home builder for multiple shower heads, walk-through showers, soft lighting, a built-in music system, and wide ledges around the tub for comfortable seating.
Heating the floors will do so much for warming your body on cold days. It will feel like a warm embrace that gradually moves up your entire body. The heat does not need to be too high to make your home feel comfortable and cozy.
Professional home builders recommend running heated floors through your whole home. You can either opt for polished concrete or hardwoods for the materials. It can even be installed in your bathroom.
Imagine how good it feels once you step out of the equally warm shower; you won't feel the shivers anymore trying to reach the towel once you hit cold air.
Instead of walk-in closets, why not build an entire dressing room? This room must include many shelves and rods for your clothing and shoes. You can have a small area where you can try on clothes. It would also be a great idea to place a seat or bench in the middle of the room.
To get the most out of your dressing room, ask for extras. These include ambient lighting, floor-to-ceiling mirrors, and specialty armoire.
Often, outlets are not where they must be – they are usually in inconvenient places. If you are designing your home, add outlets where you will need them often.
For instance, you should have outlets on your kitchen island for plugging your appliances, like blenders. You should also have outlets by the mirror where you can easily plug in your blow dryer or curling iron. Outdoors, you can have outlets under roof eaves or in the garden for easy plugging of holiday decorations or landscape lighting.
You must also discuss with your custom home builder about customized wiring for your home theatre system. By strategically placing the right structures, you will easily wire video games systems and built-in speakers without cluttering the room with electrical cords.
If you have a wide piece of property and you have a long driveway leading to your front door, a driveway alarm is an excellent investment. It gives you a warning if anyone pulls into your driveway. This way, you can take a peek outside and know exactly who is coming.
The biggest benefit of a driveway alarm is that it helps you to prepare for unexpected guests, such as your relatives or friends who suddenly come around while you are still in your pajamas. Most importantly, this is an excellent security feature – it will let you know if trespassers are entering your premises.
Aside from making your home's interior comfortable, you must also beautify your outdoor space. Your yard can have a huge impact on the overall look and value of your home. Improving or installing a porch, patio or an outdoor entertaining space will help make your home's exterior more beautiful and functional.
You can turn your patio into a secluded enclave outdoors. Make it appear like a small, secret garden. Try out geometric or circular patterns when wrapping the porch around your home and landscaping beds. For a more natural look, make use of different stones and colors.
Adding water elements is probably the easiest way to create a natural look as well as to add visual interest to your outdoor space. You can include a garden pond or a koi pond in the middle of your patio.
Make it natural by placing large plants and rocks around it. Consider having a water fountain if you want to achieve a more sophisticated and polished look. Let the fountain make a showy spray. You may also choose a more modest fountain as this attracts butterflies and birds.
Apart from ornamental plants, you can also include some edible plants on your landscape design. Edible plants will help create a unique design whilst helping you have a healthier diet.
Plants like broccoli and cabbage will create excellent visual displays. Go for various textures and colors to achieve a more interesting design.
Think of your outdoor space the same way you would your indoor space when choosing the best seats. Opt for comfortable, large chairs and sofas with enticing designs and colors.
Although you may be limited by the kind of materials you can place outdoors, your design choices, on the other hand, are limitless.
Make sure to choose pieces of furniture that have water-resistant fabrics. Beautiful lighting, outdoor rugs, and well-chosen planters will help make your guests feel at home during your next get-together.
When it comes to outdoor cooking, you aren't limited to fire pits and grills. A brick fireplace is a great option since this can provide warmth and create a beautiful space to gather around. Your kids might also roast marshmallows over it.
An outdoor kitchen may include all the necessary amenities like a mini refrigerator, bar, and a grill. You can easily cook anything you want. Having an outdoor kitchen and fireplace will definitely take your outdoor entertaining to the next level. It offers more functionality than a patio with a simple grill.
Take advantage of the great opportunities that designing and building a custom home offers. Work with a reputable custom home builder to incorporate your ideas and other luxury features in your new abode. An individually designed property is a place you will love coming home to every day, and never want to leave.

BkiUdyw4uBhi551MkSdZ | Got candles??? Make some of these beautiful shell candles and add a summer glow to your table any time of year!
I'll just give you a quick how-to on creating these and then you'll be making candles out of every shell, tea cup or old tin you find around the house. It's such a simple project that you can make a million of them in a day…well, almost.
I really like the way soy wax melts so I always use it whenever I'm making candles. A little goes a long way and you'll want to plan on making a ton of candles or having some supplies for later. The fragrance and dye can be used in soap making on another creative day.
Find and clean a large shell.
Prop your shell up in a dish towel to hold it level.
Stir a drop or two of color and fragrance into your wax.
Hold a wick in the center of the shell as you slowly pour in your wax to the desired level.
Let it cool and your done!
Tips: I use just a little yellow to give it a slight color like the inside of a shell. I burn these candles with other shells around the base to hold them up straight while they are burning. Sand in a beautiful glass dish would work perfectly. Cut the wick a little shorter before burning to keep from having a large flame.
These would be wonderful for a dinner party on the porch! The shell itself lights up so nice! Oh, and while you're making them you can bundle up a few for gifts later on in the year. Everyone loves shells!
If you have a bunch of shells left you might want to make a shell frame!
How cute these candles are! And it brings me to the beach in my mind, even though I'm landlocked right now.

25 November 2016 25 November 2016 Leave a comment
The annual survey of the world's airlines with the best safety rating has announced Qantas as the world's safest air carrier for the third year running. The Australian airway was praised for its exceedingly extraordinary fatality-free record in the era of jet, while Virgin Atlantic was the only British airline to make it into the top 20 of the list of airlines which have the best safety rating. In a separate ranking for low-cost fliers, 2 British carriers included-Thomas Cook and Flybe.
The lists were compiled by AirlineRatings.com, which is an independent plane safety and product rating party. British Airways gained maximum seven stars for safety yet did not make it into the top 20 airlines. The website provided the safety ratings for over 400 airlines, which award them up to seven stars for safety feature. Of the companies surveyed, 148 were given top 7-star safety ranking yet almost 50 had only 3-star ranking or even less.
Our top safest airline are always at the forefront of safety breakthrough and the launching of new advanced aircraft. The website's star ratings involve multiple factors into consideration, which include whether the airline has been certified by IATA, the International Air Transport Association, if it is on the EU's airline blacklist, the crash record, and also whether the fleet has been punished over safety issues. One star is removed if the air carrier only operates Russian-made airplane.
British Airways was one of the 148 companies which were awarded the maximum 7-star safety rating, which was something only given to non-budget carriers, though it did not make it into Airline Rating.com's list of the 20 safest airlines. In finding out which make the top 20, the judges at Airlineratings.com compared each airline's history of accidents and operational perfection.
Along with Qantas, other airlines to make it into the top 20 was Air New Zealand, Etihad, American Airlines, Finnair, Emirates, KLM< Swiss, Lufthansa, Virgin Atlantic, and United Airlines. The top 20 safest airlines are always at the forefront of safety innovation, the launching of novel advanced aircraft, and operational perfection. These airlines are always listed at the forefront for excellence of safety concern. However there is no doubt among the editors that Qantas has remained outstanding in safety enhancements and also the best practice. Here, let us have a look at the 20 safest airlines in the world.
All Nippon Airlines (ANA)
Scandinavian Airline System (SAS)

That being said, more and more consideration on improving safety for airline carrier has to be taken into account.
List of Airlines with the Worst Safety Record – blirg.com
The announcement of the list of airlines with the worst safety records, which follows a traumatic year for aviation, has been mostly related to two major disasters, igniting debate surrounding issues of flight security and also over pilot's mental wellbeing.
On January 3rd the list of airlines with the worst safety records. was announced that for the second year running, the ultimate cause of aviation deaths in 2015 was the unlawful interference. Put in other words, murder, in accordance with the report by a leading air safety firm T o70. The consultancy which cited the mysterious disappearance of MH370 and also MH17 which was shot down in 2015 over the Ukraine, as well as the Metrojet and Germanwings crashes in the Sinai and Alps respectively. 224 people were killed when the Metrojet Airbus A321-231 broke apart after its departure from the international airport of Sharm el-Sheikh in Egypt.
In March 2015, the Germanwings Airbus A320-211 crashed into French Alps, which resulted in 150 people dead on board. It was then later unearthed that pilot Andreas Lubitz that had suicidal tendencies, had caused the crash. AirlineRatings.com editor Geoffrey Thomas pointed out that Germanwings has retained its seven-star safety rating for 2016 since the incident was caused by suicidal attempt by the pilot. "In our system of rating, which is approved and endorsed by aviation's governing body, the International Civil Aviation Organization, if deaths did occur through acts of hijacking, terrorism or pilot suicide, they are not considered cause of crash record", he stated. Let us have a look at the list of airlines with the worst safety records.
1) Batik Air
2) Bluewing Airlines
3) Citilink
4) Kal-Star Aviation
5) Lion Air
6) Sriwijaya Air
7) TransNusa
8) Trigana Air Service
9) Wings Air
10) Xpress Air
Some aviation-safety experts have doubted the basis for the AirlineRatings survey, since it does not seem to prioritize what passengers regard as the most important safety consideration: an airline's track record of flying millions of missions with no deaths. The two foremost European budget airlines, Ryanair and easyJet have fatality-free records, and flew around 180 million passengers between them safely. The three fliers from the British Isles which are included in the AirlineRatings "top ten safest cheap airlines"- Flybe, Aer Lingus, and Thomas Cook Airlines – carried 22 million passengers between them.
Malaysia Airlines, which are struck by two accidents leaving all passengers on board missing or dead in 2014, was given 5 stars out of possible 7 ratings: the same as Thomson Airways and Ryanair. This surely makes the list of airlines with the worst safety records about to be expanded. If a carrier has a crash which involves the death of a passenger and crew members, it automatically will lose a star from the safety-rating rankings. Iraqi Airways last month was banned from operating over EU airspace because of unaddressed safety concerns and also has been given only 2-star safety rating by AirlineRatings.com.
Thailand' s aviation industry, included in the list of airlines with the worst safety records, was ranked un "special measures" last year after issues were flagged up by ICAO, the International Civil Aviation Organization. Airlines including Thai Airways, awarded 4 out of 7 stars for safety rating were spared being put in the EU blacklist. Officials stated that they would monitor future developments and would deem bans if air passenger safety was considered to be at risk.

Commonly the price drop will be completed at around 3 PM EST Tuesday afternoon, so for those who do searching around this particular time, you may be more likely to find more favourable results.

Most air carriers commonly lower their fares to flyers that travel on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Saturday. Flights which leave on Thursday commonly fall between the prices for flights on Wednesday and Friday.
The Best Times to Fly
Now, just think about the time of the day when you are more likely to have a flight and you probably have through of the time of the day for which the prices of flight ticket change to its lowest level.

This is indeed great news for those seeking cheap flight ticket in the last minutes, as these empty seats commonly translate to cheap tickets. Commonly airlines will try to fill the seats by posting travel deals on their websites, which offer great discounts on the last-minute flight.
Ponder a Vacation Package as an Alternative
A common rule of thumb when it deals with landing cheap flight ticket in the last minutes is to take what you can get. Remaining booking options may not match your travel needs or travel budget, yet that does not mean that you have to bitterly swallow the high cost of waiting till the last minute and then take a costlier flight; nor do you have to abandon the trip completely. Also, it is important to take into account some vacation packages, often allowing you to pick up remaining flight ticket and hotel at extremely discounted prices. You may be able to snag the whole vacation package for less than the cost of a typical last minute flight along your expected route.
Check the Travel Consolidator for Available Last Minute Flight Deals
Travel consolidators buy up large quantities of tickets from airlines at volume price in order to assure enough seats are sold well in advance so as to keep the flights at maximum capacity. When consolidators are not able to pre-sell enough seats, they will look to unload them to those who search for the last minute cheap flight tickets.
All in all, I guess getting as much information as possible is the key to getting cheap flight at the last minutes.
How to Choose Your Ideal Holiday – blirg.com
There is nothing wrong with going on a holiday. In fact, this is what makes people exceedingly exhilarated as they can get away from their daily frenzy. But, with thousands of fabulous destinations, sometimes it is not that easy when it comes to choosing your ideal holiday. To help you out, let me give you some tips on how to choose your ideal holiday.
Firstly, you need to think about what you want to achieve out of your holiday and then write it down. Perhaps you want to come back entirely relaxed, or you want to explore the nature as much as you can with the time you have, or perhaps you want to learn more about something which is really interesting to you. Simply write down what it is that you are looking for to achieve from your holiday.
Choosing the Destination which is Right for Your Wants and Needs
Once you find out what you want to achieve from your ideal holiday you can then start thinking about the destinations which meet these needs. Let me show you some examples. First, if you want to relax and have a peaceful ideal holiday, you are not supposed to choose big city like Tokyo. Instead, you had better choose an island, secluded mountain, or beach, which lets you entirely relax and come home feeling rejuvenated. What if you want to get the best out of both worlds? Time to relax while also encountering more of the sights without too much worry and hassle getting around. Australia, Southeast Asia, or the Southern Europe are perfect destination for your ideal holiday. Finally, perhaps you want to get total immersion to acquire a new language, learn to cook local cuisine or get under the skin of a historical place. These holiday experiences can be made true anywhere in the world. It does depend on the type of experience that you are after. For instance, you want to learn to cook Italian food, then you can go to Rome. Or, if you want to learn Mandarin, then you can go to China.
At this juncture, it is important to do some browsing and research on some of the destination for your ideal holiday that you have in mind. Make sure you search your favourite blogs for articles or simply do Google search on the destinations and then read through the articles to find out if the destinations are perfect for your ideal holiday.
Deciding on when to go is a very essential factor for holidays. If you are expecting to go skiing, then summer in Japan would not really work out as there is no snow to ski on. The same thing holds true when you are after beach holiday. While you are traveling to a certain destination you consider as ideal holiday in the off season, it may seem quite attractive for cheaper prices. Most of the time, it is how cheap you can get which determines what you want to get in the first place.
The Best Air Stewardess Uniform – blirg.com
If you think that you feel uncomfortable when you are buckled into a seat at 40,000 ft, you can spare a thought for the flight attendants in a full uniform. While the common male cabin crews are dressed in a suit, the uniforms worn by the female colleagues can be so tight, provocative, scratchy creations which rival even the tackiness of an outrageous bridesmaid's dress. Basically not all uniforms are designed equal for women since the standards of uniform vary from one airline to another, and female staff train in their outfits so that in the case of emergency they can do their duties while they wear the heels and sexually provocative skirts. Here are the list of the best air stewardess uniforms.
Swearing colorful sarong kebaya which is nothing like the traditional cabin crew outfit, the stewardess of the Singapore airlines have been a global marketing tool for the airline's service for decades. The outfit, which is designed by Pierre Balmain, was first introduced in 1968 for Singapore-Malaysia airlines. Just after the flier divided, the Singapore airlines kept the outfit and then launched the new Identity of Singapore girl in 1972, though the marketing campaign has been called rather sexist by critics. The design, which makes it the best air stewardess uniform, has largely kept similar since it was first introduced, before finally claimed as one of the best air stewardess uniforms.
This Tokyo-based airline really caused an uproar when it introduced skimpy miniskirts worn by their girls during 6-month trial two year ago. The royal blue outfit was seriously criticized by the Japan Federation of Cabin Attendants, saying the daring uniform is inappropriate for work performed by flight attendants. Female flight attendants claimed that the uniforms were exposed to sexual harassment and they indicated concerns about leering stairs or even passengers taking photos of the skirts. However, this outfit does fascinate the passengers, making it one of the best air stewardess uniforms.
The stewardess with Lufthansa have worn a sort of Bavarian dirndl when coincide with October fest in the city of Munich since the traditional was started in 2005. A year ago, the uniform, said to be one of the best air stewardess uniforms, was worn by the cabin crews on long-haul routes from Munich to Beijing, Mexico City and Sao Paulo. The traditional folk costume which features Lufthansa's colors, including yellow, blue, and white, is created by Munich's Angermaier Trachten house of fashion. The girls wear a bodice which is yellow and imprinted with some blue flowers, a blue silk apron, and a white-striped skirt.
These stunning red uniforms designed by Vivienne Westwood was first launched in September last year and just in weeks the staff complained that they were too tight and the heels gave them blisters. The Unite Union said that staff complained about the skirts. But Virgin said that the outfits were subject to six months of trails including more than 150 staff volunteers, and some adjustments were made before the designs and the materials were finalized. The airline's uniforms are created by using recycled polyester clothing and can be simply tailored to fit all sizes and shapes.
Well, as you see, the stewardess' outfits are so various from one airline to another. Each of the aforementioned best air stewardess uniforms do pose their own characters.
Useful Tips for Taking Vacation Photos – blirg.com
9 November 2016 Leave a comment
So, summer is here! If you have not already, it is time to squeeze that vacation in just before the children go back to school. Not only do vacations offer you and your whole family a much required break from routine, they will also serve up some of the most fabulous photo opportunities that you will see all year. Hereunder, we will take a look at some of the best tips to help you capture some of the best images while you are busing taking vacation photos.
Taking one step back
As you are traveling for vacation photos, one of your main goals as a photographer is to take in the views. You are likely to encounter lots of breathtaking views which you will want to remember just as they were through your sights. What this means on practical level is that you need to pack your wide angle lens. If you have been planning to pick one up, then right before your vacation is the perfect time to do so. When you have got a stunning view in front of you, that extraordinary lens can simply kill it. Rather, you will want something which can grab as much of the view as possible.
Do not Forget the Faces
When you are out traveling to new and fascinating locations with your wide angle lens, it is so easy to get sidetracked and forget about the most essential part in taking vacation photos, which is the people that come with you. The single best way to re-experience the moments and emotions of the vacation years after is through the picture of faces of your family members and friends who were there with you. It is well worth it to miss the shot of Mickey Mouse who walk by if you can instead take a picture of the expression on your 3-year-old face as it happens.
Getting the Details
When you are somewhere that you have never been before, capturing the smallest details has a way of making your trip seem all the more special when you are showing the pictures off to your colleagues and family. Even if it is something which almost anybody can find right in their own back yard.
Watching for Wildlife
For sure, everyone does love a good creature shot. One of the best part of traveling somewhere can be seeing a number of living things which you would never see back home. Do not hesitate to venture from the beaten path and also explore just any areas where Mother Nature still has upper hand of hers. Capturing shots which portray wildlife is sure to earn you some photography respect points with your colleagues and indeed is a great way to end up on the fascinating section on Flickr. Make sure that you be careful with anything which has teeth.
Watching the Shutter Speed
Whether it is from a bus ride through the French countryside or your children running around the beach, family vacations are fraught with motion. In this case, not giving serious considerations to the shutter speed can turn your photo collections into massive disappointment.
All in all, taking vacation photos do make your vacation all the more special and memorable. However, it is always important to make sure that you pay attention to your camera components and also the objects that you want to capture. | commoncrawl | 3 | 1 | 3 | 1 |
BkiUgB3xK4sA-5Y3vKLz | I am writing in regard to the December 2001 article on BioThane bridles. It was wonderful, except for one potential problem with the heated nail and melting information in the article.
BioPlastics Company takes a proactive approach in explaining the dangers of fumes emitted when heating Beta material (PVC). Every Beta order that leaves our plant has a sheet with guidelines on heat-sealing PVC coated material. Our customers are familiar with this, but I doubt if the general public has a clue.
I'm including a copy of the guidelines in this letter (see below). We need to inform your readers of these guidelines to prevent inhalation possibilities. Burning or melting PVC emits hydrogen chloride (HCL), which is dangerous.
The following guidelines and precautions are to assist our customers when heat-sealing the Beta Class PVC-coated webbing. BioPlastics recommends that our customers develop safe work practice programs specifically designed for their individual operations.
At degradation temperatures, this product will emit hydrogen chloride (HCL) fumes, which may cause irritation of the eyes, skin and respiratory tract. The amount of emissions will depend upon the time and temperature used by your heat-sealing apparatus.
CAUTION! Prolonged heating (approximately 10 minutes or more) of the product above 200?°C (392?°F), or short-term heating at 250?°C (482?°F), may result in rapid PVC degradation and evolution of hydrogen chloride.
As a general rule, PVC degradation begins to occur after about one hour at 177?°C (350?°F), after about 10 minutes at 204?°C (400?°F), and within five minutes at 232?°C (450?°F). Equipment should not be shut down for extended time periods with the product in or on it. Decomposition and possible corrosion of unprotected metal may result.
As previously mentioned, hydrogen chloride becomes an acid and will have a corrosive effect upon many metals. Since this corrosion can be a slow process which will take place long after initial exposure, prompt cleaning of surfaces with water-based detergents is recommended.
Perform sealing in a well-ventilated area. Effective exhaust ventilation should be provided to draw fumes or vapors out of the building and away from workers. Ventilation should include an exhaust fan system. You need to remove the contaminated air from the work area. Consult with your local safety equipment dealer for equipment recommendations.
Keep heat-sealing equipment and surfaces clean. Clean up following normal melt processing should be performed under well-ventilated conditions.
Time, temperature and pressure are important factors when sealing holes or edges. Belt surface temperatures of 121?°C (250?°F), to 157?°C (315?°F) should be sufficient for sealing the Beta class. These temperatures are well below the degradation temperatures as described above. If you heat the material to the point of bubbling or charring, PVC degradation has begun, and hydrogen chloride (HCL) fumes will occur. You do not need to burn the material to get it to melt. | c4 | 4 | 4 | 5 | 4 |

BkiUbm45qrqCyrAtX_t5 | The Orthodox parishioners of the village of Moshkov and Peremilovka in the Rovno province of western Ukraine declined the invitation to join the "Kiev Patriarchate", reports the Orthodox Life website, citing the Information department of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church.
On April 22, 2018, a meeting took place in the villages at which the members discussed the problem of "jurisdiction change" in communities of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church. Despite aggression aimed at them by the schismatics of the "Kiev Patriarchate" who are pressuring them to change jurisdictions, the villagers did not support that initiative.
According to dean of the Mlinovsky region Archpriest Vasily Ivanenko, the day before the meeting a survey was taken in the villages that showed conclusively that the majority of the villagers preferred to remain in the canonical Church. "In Moshkov, only 5% clearly supported the 'UOC KP', and in Peremilovka the votes were split 70% in favor of the UOC, 15% abstaining, and 15% in favor of the "Kiev Patriarchate", the priest related. The survey visited 80% of the houses in the villages.
On the evening of April 22 in Mezhiritsky the miracle-working icon of the "Life-Giving" Mother of God was brought to the village of Moshkov. The icon was brought by Vicar Bishop Pimen of Rovno, a diocese of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church, and met by priests and several dozen parishioners, joined by others along the way.
In the church an Akathist was served to the Mother of God, at which everyone present prayed for the speedy end of enmity and strife in the village and peace in Ukraine. Bishop Pimen called upon all to stand for the faith of their fathers and to be true Christians, who, in the apostle's words, will be known by their love. | c4 | 4 | 1 | 5 | 1 |
BkiUdgDxaL3SuiswfyPq | Does a screening trial provide valid patient selection information?
Because the SCS screening trial duplicates the definitive procedure (the therapeutic effects, side effects, and patient-control interface), it offers the most meaningful prognostic sign that SCS will succeed or fail. A patient who reports sufficient and satisfactory pain relief during a screening trial of reasonable duration (see below) with stable or reduced analgesic use and a concordant stable or increased physical activity should be offered a permanent implant. Thus, as its name implies, the screening trial fulfills both a screening and a trial function.
The screening trial also provides important information that will dictate the choice of electrode and stimulator to be implanted and the optimum stimulating configuration. | c4 | 5 | 4 | 5 | 2 |

BkiUdyI4dbjiU9oEetUm | Solid Growth of Global VR/AR Headset Shipments in Q2 2017
By Andrew Fenn
According to IDC, global shipments of VR and AR headsets reached 2.1 million in Q2 2017, a year-on-year growth of 25.5%.
The results show a slight drop from the previous quarter's results, but the industry's recent price drops and summer sales are expected to keep figures rising through the remainder of the year.
Virtual reality continues to dominate the VR/AR industry, with a 98% market share. Tethered VR headset shipments rose from 34% to 43%, which IDC has attributed to the Oculus Summer of Rift sale and the continued success of PlayStation VR, led by titles like Farpoint and Resident Evil 7: Biohazard.
The PlayStation VR is also set for a small price drop, despite its continued success. Facebook sold the Oculus Rift + Touch bundle at $399 for six weeks this summer. However, now the Summer of Rift sale is over, the bundle will not be returning to its previous price point of $599, but will now retail at $499.
Samsung's monopoly on the smartphone-based VR market is starting to decline, though they still hold a majority market share with the Gear VR. IDC expressed concerns that early rumours that the forthcoming Galaxy Note 8 may not be bundled with the new Note-specific Gear VR could lead to a further reduction in shipments, as the company's healthy sales have been attributed to previously available Galaxy and Gear VR bundles.
On the other hand, AR development and consumer uptake continues to move slowly. Tom Mainelli, Vice President of Devices and AR/VR at IDC, said:
"Consumer-focused AR headsets are still some way off, as most people will first experience AR through the screen on their phone.
Now that Apple and Google are both focused on helping developers create AR experiences on their platforms—through ARKit for iOS and ARCore for Android—we can expect to see a flood of new AR apps appearing on smartphones later this year and into next. These developments should eventually lead to consumer-centric AR glasses, but that won't happen in meaningful volume, at affordable price points, for some time."
(IDC said that shipments of simplistic headsets that do not have any technology built in are excluded. Examples of such headsets include Google Cardboard and other Cardboard-like devices.)

For the vast majority of its runtime, A Simple Favor performs a wonderful balancing act with its tones. The film is a mystery/thriller in the vein of Gone Girl, but it is also a comedy. Those two things really should not mix, but somehow DIrector Paul Feig does it. There are genuine laughs throughout that don't completely puncture the building tension of the mystery. Then it gets to the end and it all falls apart. Fortunately, the rest of the movie is so good that it is easy to forgive its disappointing ending.
A Simple Favor star Anna Kendrick as Stephanie Smothers, an overprotective single mother who runs a mommy vlog. She strikes up a friendship with Blake Lively's Emily Nelson, a mother of friend of her child and a high powered executive. Their friendship grows, but soon Emily disappears. This sets off a mystery of what happened to Emily and who exactly Emily was. Both Stephanie and Emily's husband are suspected.
Initially, the movie does an excellent job of balancing tones, setting up a thriller while also being very funny. That mix of tones also helps develop the friendship between Stephanie and Emily. Without the humor, Emily is an expressly terrible person. She is mean to her kid and husband, she drinks a lot and is frequently just awful. It is played as a joke, and it works, contrasting the uptight Kendrick with the relaxed Lively is delightful. You can see how the lonely Stephanie is taken in by the delightfully awful Emily. It keeps balancing the tones as Stephanie begins to investigate the disappearance. It manages to keep the humor present without completely puncturing the tension.
This sort of thriller, like Gone Girl, tends to not have a lot of place for humor. It naturally lessens the tension that the movie is trying to build. Here, largely by keeping the humor closely related to the characters and not the mystery itself, the movie manages to have its cake and eat it too. At least, it does until the final act. The tension builds through Stephanie's searching and all the inconsistencies that she finds in Emily's history and story. But the final revelations alternate between disappointing and laughable. It ends up in complete comedy territory, but it stops being funny. Instead of the character based humor from the start, it relies on slapstick and stupidities. It just doesn't work.
The ending is undoubtedly disappointing, but that mostly serves to highlight how brightly the rest of the movie shines. Anna Kendrick is delightful as the perky and occasionally sad center of the movie. Blake Lively is perfect as Emily, the only problem is that the structure of the movie keeps her off screen for the bulk of the movie. There is good, real stuff with how the characters deal with loss. Ending notwithstanding, A Simple Favor is a fun, entertaining movie that is well worth seeing. | commoncrawl | 5 | 1 | 4 | 2 |

BkiUcTrxK7FjYHGHzJFW | Ministry to start bidding process for nine toll roads worth Rp 142.5 trillion by year-end
Jakarta Post - November 17, 2020
Mardika Parama, Jakarta – The Public Works and Housing Ministry is aiming to start the bidding process of nine toll road sections, with a combined length of 350 kilometers and combined investment of around Rp 142.5 trillion (US$10 billion), by year-end, a minister has said.
Minister Basuki Hadimuljono on Sunday said the government aimed to expedite the toll road bidding process to push down logistics costs, improve connectivity and provide employment opportunities in the country.
"We believe that only through improved connectivity can we increase investment on the ground and create more jobs in the future," he said in a statement.
The proposed toll roads include the 39.2-km-long Kamal-Teluk Naga-Rajeg toll road in Banten, worth around Rp 18.5 trillion, and the 37.7 km access toll road for Japan-backed Patimban Seaport in West Java, with an estimated investment of Rp 6.36 trillion.
Other listed toll road projects up for bidding are the Cikunir-Ulujami elevated toll road section in Jakarta, stretching for 21.5 km, as well as Bali's 95.5 km Gilimanuk-Mengwi toll road worth Rp 19.7 trillion. Other toll roads include the Semanan-Balaraja toll road in Banten, worth around Rp 15.5 trillion.
The nine projects are among 158 ongoing infrastructure projects that are funded through the public-private partnership (PPP) scheme, worth around Rp 1.3 quadrillion, which are currently in either the transaction, preparation or planning process according to the ministry's document.
The government has long made efforts to reduce the stubbornly high logistics costs in the country and reduce price disparities among the country's many islands. The country's logistic costs stand at 23.5 percent of the country's GDP, Finance Minister Sri Mulyani Indrawati said in September.
Earlier this year, the government stated that it would offer six toll road projects, including the Patimban toll road and the Cikunir-Ulujami elevated toll road, with a combined value of Rp 80.5 trillion to investors this year, while it planned to auction the projects in the third and fourth quarters of 2020, according to the ministry.
The ministry has wrapped up the bidding of the Solo-Yogyakarta-New Yogyakarta International Airport (NYIA) toll road in Central Java and Yogyakarta, spanning 93.25 km with an investment value of Rp 28.58 trillion, as well as a 75.82 km toll road connecting Yogyakarta and Bawen, Central Java.
The ministry plans to build 2,500 km of toll roads by 2024, it stated.
The ministry has also vowed to expedite the preparation process for seven PPP infrastructure projects worth Rp 76.3 trillion, which are planned to enter the early transaction phase by the first quarter of 2021.
"In 2021, we will start the procurement process for six roads that span 208.7 km and a drinking water system project. If everything goes smoothly, we could execute the process for all listed projects," the ministry's infrastructure financing director general Eko "Heri" Djoeli Heripoerwanto said in an online press conference on Nov. 11.

[MISRA 2012 Rule 18.4, advisory] memcpy((void*)data,(const void*)(buff+2),3U);
Case 2 :
If I fix MISRA error in Case 1 thus:
const uint8_t *buff = (uint8_t*)Getbuff();
uint8_t data[3] = {0};
memcpy((void*)data,(const void*)(buff[2]),3U);
I am getting compile time warning and a different MISRA error.
Compile time warning :
cast to pointer from integer of different size
MISRA error:
explicit cast from 'const UINT8' (aka 'const unsigned char') to
'const void *' [MISRA 2012 Rule 11.6, required]memcpy((void*)data,(const void*)(buffer[2]),3U);
A: Just;
memcpy( data, &buff[2], 3u ) ;
Both the pointer arithmetic and casts are unnecessary and contrary to MISRA rules.
To cast to a void* rather misunderstands the purpose of a void-pointer, and casting in general can suppress essential warnings that the compiler might otherwise issue. The resulting de-clutter makes the code much easier to read and MISRA compliant.
Your second case was also semantically incorrect, and would not have resulted in correct behaviour - warnings are not always just warnings; often they indicate semantic errors. For the compiler "error" just means "cannot be compiled" (syntactic error); a semantic error is one where the code does not do what was intended.
A: I think if you change the pointer arithmetics
buff+2
in the first case to
&(buff[2])
the MISRA warning should go away.
Or in other words: add the &-operator in case 2.

BkiUddM4dbgg8g9yU_C2 | The International Master of Science in Marine Biodiversity and Conservation (EMBC+) is offered by a University consortium consisting of 7 partners and a supporting network of over 30 associate partners that play a role as internship and thesis work providers. Student mobility is an integral part of the Master: students start in one of the three year I Universities for 42 credits. After this they take part in a joint Spring School in a research station along the EU coasts. At the end of the first year students can do an internship or take an additional set of courses in one of the Year 1 Universities. In the second year, during the third semester, an additional set of courses is taken at one of the year 2 Universities. Thesis work in the fourth semester can be done at any of the partners in the EMBC+ consortium.
Tuition fees are considered as the fees that each students has to pay to the consortium for participating in EMBC+. Tuition fees are set per academic year. A student following the programme without problems will thus pay twice the tuition fee at the start of each academic year. Tuition fees are fixed for each cohort of students but may be adapted throughout the running of the programme. Adaptations of the tuition fees may reflect changes in local enrollment fees or changes in cost for e.g. spring school organization. Change of the fees happens upon agreement by the consortium management board. Tuition fees should cover the cost of all elements of the study programme unless stated else. An overview of the financial arrangements will be communicated to each student at the start of the programme.
A prerequisite for admission is that applicants have a Bachelor (or Master) degree in biology, ecology, environmental sciences, oceanography, marine sciences, geography, geology, or other equivalent degrees with minimum 180 credits at the latest before Sep 1st. For third country students, preferably before Feb 28th.
* The minimum score for the internet-based TOEFL certificate has been adjusted to match the requirements of the paper-based certificate.
Step 4: submit the EMBC+ application to the EMBC+ coordination office before March, 30th 2016.
Note that if problems with the distributing of students over the universities would occur (i.e. if more students who are academically eligible want to go to a university than there are places at that university) the procedure of 'first paid, first choice' will be followed. The date on your proof of payment (bank transcript) will be taken into account.
Students who haven't paid by the deadline of Monday, 2nd of August will be considered as dropouts. | c4 | 4 | 3 | 5 | 1 |

BkiUdv04dbghWHCOHjEt | Die Categoría Primera A 2005, nach einem Sponsor Copa Mustang 2005 genannt, war eine aus Apertura und Finalización bestehende Spielzeit der höchsten kolumbianischen Spielklasse im Fußball der Herren. Die Apertura war die 61. und die Finalización die 62. Austragung der kolumbianischen Meisterschaft. Aufsteiger war Real Cartagena.
Meister der Apertura wurde Atlético Nacional und Meister der Finalización wurde Deportivo Cali. Für beide Mannschaften war es der achte Titel. Absteiger war Unión Magdalena.
Modus
Es wurden zwei Meister ermittelt, einer für jede Halbserie. Jeder Halbserienmeister war automatisch für die Copa Libertadores qualifiziert. Ein dritter Platz wurde an den Verein vergeben, der nach der Zusammenzählung aller Punkte und Tore der Phasen 1 und 2 der ersten und der zweiten Halbserienmeisterschaft am höchsten stand. Sollte ein Verein beide Halbserienmeisterschaften gewinnen, so würde der zweite Teilnehmer an der Libertadores nach demselben Verfahren ausgewählt wie der dritte Teilnehmer. Die beiden Teilnehmer an der Copa Sudamericana wurde nach demselben Schema ermittelt wie der dritte Libertadores-Teilnehmer: die Vereine, die in der Gesamtjahreswertung hinter diesem standen, waren qualifiziert.
Ein direkter Absteiger in die Categoría Primera B wurde durch eine gesonderte Abstiegstabelle bestimmt, die aus dem Durchschnitt der vergangenen drei Spielzeiten ermittelt wurde.
Teilnehmer
Die folgenden Vereine nahmen an den beiden Halbserien der Spielzeit 2005, Apertura und Finalización teil. Bogotá Chicó zog vor Beginn der Spielzeit von Bogotá nach Tunja und wurde in Boyacá Chicó umbenannt.
Apertura
In der ersten Phase spielten alle 18 Mannschaften im Ligamodus einmal gegeneinander, zusätzlich gab es einen Spieltag mit Clásicos, an dem Spiele mit Derby-Charakter ausgetragen wurden. Die ersten acht Mannschaften qualifizierten sich für die Finalrunde, die aus zwei Vierer-Gruppen bestand, deren beiden Sieger den Meister ermittelten.

BkiUeCvxK4sA-9zSBVAY | UNBELIEVABLE: Students at WSU will get Bad Grades for Using 'Illegal Alien,' or 'Illegals'
Courtney Kirchoff
Well if you or a high schooler you know is thinking about colleges to attend, may we suggest he, she or ze not consider attending Washingtion State University, lest he, she, or ze come out of the institution completely crazy, rocking themselves in a corner because of shameful whiteness and/or patriarchy.
It used to be the accuracy of your exam, or a proof of acquired knowledge that was a barometer for grading, now it's how sensetive you are. Yes, you will be graded on the words you use... because free speech is so passé.
Much like in Selena Breikss's classroom, students taking Professor Rebecca Fowler's "Introduction to Comparative Ethnic Studies" course will see their grades suffer if they use the term "illegal alien" in their assigned writing.
If you think colleges are bastions of free speech, you're a moron. Sorry, hope that didn't offend you too much. Give us an F if it did. But hey, Professor Fowler at least offers alternatives to what she deems foul language:
According to her syllabus, students will lose one point every time they use the words "illegal alien" or "illegals" rather than the preferred terms of "'undocumented' migrants/immigrants/persons." Throughout the course, Fowler says, students will "come to recognize how white privilege functions in everyday social structures and institutions."
"The socio-legal production of migrant illegality works to systematically dehumanize and exploit these brown bodies for their labor," Fowler continued.
There it is! WHITE PRIVILEGE. How can you come into your class all white and use terms like "illegal alien"? Even though people entering this country illegally are illegal aliens. Still, those criminals have mothers too, you bastard! Where's your humanity? So what if the term "illegal alien" only offends people who are here illegally. It's the feelings that matter, not the facts.
Question for Professor Fowler: who exactly is encouraging these "brown bodies" to flood across the borders to "exploit" them for "their labor"? I'm just spitballing here, but wouldn't it be better if these people assimilated into the culture, learned the language, and got, like, careers? Forgive me, my white privilege showing...
If Fowler's Introduction to Comparative Ethnic Studies (BTW, for what career does that prepare anyone? Just asking...) doesn't tickle your white privilege fancy, try Professor Streamas's course:
White students in Professor John Streamas's "Introduction to Multicultural Literature" class, are expected to "defer" to non-white students, among other community guidelines, if they want "to do well in this class."
Right, so you white students need to defer to non-white students, because equality. Those other students are no different than you, only that they need you to back down. You're so racist. Let the "brown body" person speak!
Question for Professor Streamas: Are you familiar, sir, with the soft bigotry of low expectations? Call it a hunch, but it kind of sounds like you think the non-white students are wimps and cannot succeed unless white people step aside and allow them to speak. Which kind of sounds racist. But maybe that's just my white privilege showing...
Several other WSU professors require their students to "acknowledge that racism, classism, sexism, heterosexism, and other institutionalized forms of oppression exist" or that "we do not live in a post-racial world."
No word if WSU will change their "Cougar" mascot to something less sexist.
Yay college! To recap, liberals see colleges as:
bastions of rape culture
places where you can be free of the oppressive "free speech" (see all of the above)
Places where a few students try to ban a patriotic movie
and you can come out of college with a crap ton of debt and not get a job!
WOOHOO! Where do I sign???

BkiUfPnxK7IABDHEZbb3 | If you're mulling over making your first P2P investment, here's a step-by-step guide on how to go about it.
Today, there's no realm of our lives that has been left untouched by technology. In fact, it wouldn't be too presumptuous to say that there isn't a problem today that technology can't solve. From paying your utility bills to applying for a Credit Card or Personal Loan, you can do it all online.
In its initial days, demonetisation may have thrown our lives into disarray, but it offered millions of us Indians the much-needed fillip to switch to non-cash payment methods. Non-cash payment methods are hands-down a leg-up from traditional payment methods owing to them being more quick, transparent and convenient.
As technological solutions continue to revolutionise and improve our everyday life, people are seeking out more non-traditional forms of investment to bet their money on. Take the case of P2P lending.
While in China, peer-to-peer lending platforms, or P2P platforms as they're better known, have been mired in controversy and have been posing a great challenge for Chinese regulators, in India it has only started gaining traction in recent years. P2P platforms match someone looking to invest with someone looking for funding. They often promise double-digit returns on short-term investments.
According to RBI data available until June 30, 2018, only five lenders are registered in the 'NBFC-P2P' category. P2P platforms list borrowers and lenders after carrying out thorough due diligence and verifications. They also use an automated credit appraisal system to calculate the interest rates basis the personal and financial information of the borrowers. To qualify as a lender, you need to be above 18 years of age and should hold a valid bank account and PAN in India.
Step 1: After you've chosen the P2P platform you want to invest your money in, you have to register on it. You'll then have to create a login ID after entering your basic information and providing self-attested photocopies of your PAN and address proof.
Step 2: Once you sign up, you'll be asked to create an investor account in order to carry out financial transactions. You may have to pay a one-time refundable fee of Rs. 500 – 1,000 at the time of signing up.
Step 3: Once the platform completes your verification, your investor profile will be created and listed on the platform along with your investment preference.
Step 4: Largely, a reverse auction model is followed on these platforms where the lenders bid for a borrower's proposal and the borrower has the option to accept or reject an offer. Thus, you can start by sending proposals to borrowers. The rate of interest is decided by both the borrower and the lender during the listing period. Long listings along with the personal and financial information of each borrower will be listed on your dashboard. As a lender, you can choose to lend to one or multiple borrowers.
You can fund up to 20% of a borrower's requirement. As per RBI norms, as a lender, the total amount that you can lend cannot exceed Rs. 10 lakhs at any time across all P2P-NBFCs platforms, with a maximum of Rs. 50,000 per borrower.
Step 5: Once the lender and borrower have mutually agreed on an arrangement, the investor can request to view borrower documents by paying a document viewing fee. This fee is valid for a limited time. Once the lender has successfully verified the borrower's documents, both the investor and borrower have to sign a loan agreement that is legally binding and enforceable in a court of law.

Step 6: The loan is disbursed after the official loan agreement has been signed and the borrower fulfils requirements towards security and repayment of the first EMI.
Step 7: Loan disbursal and repayments are made through an escrow account. The investor should pre-fund his escrow account with the amount he wishes to invest. According to RBI norms, a P2P platform must maintain at least two escrow accounts for funds transfer that can be operated by a trustee promoted by the bank which operates these accounts.
Step 8: Once the loan is disbursed, the lender can expect repayments on or before the 15th of every month. If a borrower defaults on repayments, a penalty is levied on the borrower that is payable directly to the lender. The lender can choose to reinvest the money earned from EMI repayments in order to earn better returns.

BkiUc9Y4ubngxRYeLjlg | BANHARN SILAPA-ARCHA SCUFFS THE GROUND with his shoe and frowns. "Not enough cement has been used here," he tells the accompanying officials as he points to a ragged portion of the road. "This is why I have to come personally and check all the details. I suggest you get this repaired."
Attention to detail is Banharn's forte. Ordering the changing of a lightbulb or chastising contractors over the quality of the varnished floor in a sparkling new basketball stadium is all in a weekend's work for the former premier. A self-confessed workaholic, 65-year-old Banharn is a key mover and shaker in his home province of Suphan Buri in central Thailand. His supporters claim no one has done more for the development of the area than Banharn. His many achievements - which include schools, six-lane highways and even an annual trash-clearing campaign - helped him get the Chart Thai Party's leadership and eventually the premiership in 1995 for a year-long, though troubled, tenure.
To his critics, Banharn is the epitome of old-style politics, a rural powerbroker who thrives in the smoky world of palm grease and backroom deals. They say his hold on what is essentially his personal fiefdom represents patronage politics at its worst, with all the pork, vote-buying and influence-peddling that it entails. And Banharn is not alone; he seems to be simply a small part of a vast network of local MPs across the country who have established a cozy relationship with their constituencies. It is a reinvigorated version of the old system that has held local communities together for centuries. The phu yai - people with power and money - give material aid to those less well-off. In return, those in the lower rungs offer their help and support when they are needed.
Banharn reckons there is nothing wrong with the arrangement. "I think it is the same practice everywhere in the world," he says. "The MPs have to do something good for their constituencies or they will not be elected. Look at the United States. President Bill Clinton has done a lot for his home state of Arkansas." He then points to Japan and South Korea: "What I have heard is they also spend a lot of money and give out gifts to people in their constituency. Would this be considered vote-buying?"
Banharn denies he has ever bought votes. But it remains an open secret that all parties - even the reputedly clean Democrats - have engaged in the practice. "At the last election, [soon-to-be-premier Chavalit Yongchaiyudh's] New Aspiration Party sent out people to give money to the people," says Surin resident Veeraporn Pakdi (not his real name). "The first time we received 200 baht, then about a week later 150 baht, and then just before the poll, 50 baht. Obviously you are under pressure to vote for their candidate. This is the sort of thing other parties do as well." Many observers believe money tipped the result in Chavalit's favor in 1996, when his party pipped the Democrats by just two seats. In all, some 20 billion baht ($790 million at the 1996 exchange rate) is estimated to have been spent by politicians in that election.
An obvious result of such rampant spending is that power often goes to the most generous candidate rather than the most qualified one. Another consequence is more corruption. Upon coming to office, the victor seeks to recoup his campaign expenditures by raking off money from government projects. Meanwhile, his home region is rewarded with public works, his supporters with plum positions and lucrative contracts.
And if money does not go far enough, it can always be backed up by a little muscle. The role of guns and goons is far less obvious in Thailand than in some more violence-prone countries. Still, all political parties at one time or another have looked for support from the underworld's jao pho (godfathers), whose influence is especially pronounced in the major vote banks of the northeast. Says Chamnong Wairottana, a former village leader: "[In the northeast], they have influential people. If villagers do not follow what they say, they will get angry." And then? "They have the power to make people disappear."
The new Constitution promises to change this old face of Thai politics. But few expect the system of patronage politics to change dramatically anytime soon. Kraisak Choonhavan, son of the late ex-premier Chatichai Choonhavan and an adviser to Bangkok governor Bhichit Rattakul, thinks the next election will see even more money being splurged, notwithstanding the economic downturn. "You will be surprised [at how much money the politicians have]," he says. "They will spend it, and the prediction is that they will spend even more than in the last election."
At least p.r.-wise, the old players are learning to adjust themselves to the new ball game. Banharn, for one, understands the need to improve the image of his Chart Thai Party, and an ongoing party revamp indicates that the systems are being changed and potential candidates more closely vetted. Banharn also talks of a policy platform, something Thailand's relationship-driven parties are not known for. "I wish to focus on the development of the rural areas and the upgrading of living conditions for people upcountry." That would be a good start. Of course, his supporters would say he has accomplished all that already. | c4 | 5 | 3 | 5 | 5 |

TBR Declutter! – Down the TBR Hole #18
Credit, as always, goes to the wonderful Lia @ Lost in a Story for this decluttering idea! I've been doing this for a while now and I have a load of fun doing it each week.
The aim is to declutter your tbr shelf. To do this:
Go to your goodreads to-read shelf.
Order on ascending date added.
Take the first 5 (or 10 if you're feeling adventurous) books. Of course if you do this weekly, you start where you left off the last time.
Read the synopses of the books
Decide: keep it or should it go?
The Good Girl by Mary Kubica
Synopsis: One night, Mia Dennett enters a bar to meet her on-again, off-again boyfriend. But when he doesn't show, she unwisely leaves with an enigmatic stranger. At first Colin Thatcher seems like a safe one-night stand. But following Colin home will turn out to be the worst mistake of Mia's life.
When Colin decides to hide Mia in a secluded cabin in rural Minnesota instead of delivering her to his employers, Mia's mother, Eve, and detective Gabe Hoffman will stop at nothing to find them. But no one could have predicted the emotional entanglements that eventually cause this family's world to shatter.
Nothing about this book is drawing me in. I know Kubica is supposed to be a really good thriller writer but I have other books of hers on my shelf, so I'm going to take this one off for now.
Verdict: remove
The Fireman by Joe Hill
Synopsis: The fireman is coming. Stay cool.
No one knows exactly when it began or where it originated. A terrifying new plague is spreading like wildfire across the country, striking cities one by one: Boston, Detroit, Seattle. The doctors call it Draco Incendia Trychophyton. To everyone else it's Dragonscale, a highly contagious, deadly spore that marks its hosts with beautiful black and gold marks across their bodies—before causing them to burst into flames. Millions are infected; blazes erupt everywhere. There is no antidote. No one is safe.
Harper Grayson, a compassionate, dedicated nurse as pragmatic as Mary Poppins, treated hundreds of infected patients before her hospital burned to the ground. Now she's discovered the telltale gold-flecked marks on her skin. When the outbreak first began, she and her husband, Jakob, had made a pact: they would take matters into their own hands if they became infected. To Jakob's dismay, Harper wants to live—at least until the fetus she is carrying comes to term. At the hospital, she witnessed infected mothers give birth to healthy babies and believes hers will be fine too. . . if she can live long enough to deliver the child.
Convinced that his do-gooding wife has made him sick, Jakob becomes unhinged, and eventually abandons her as their placid New England community collapses in terror. The chaos gives rise to ruthless Cremation Squads—armed, self-appointed posses roaming the streets and woods to exterminate those who they believe carry the spore. But Harper isn't as alone as she fears: a mysterious and compelling stranger she briefly met at the hospital, a man in a dirty yellow fire fighter's jacket, carrying a hooked iron bar, straddles the abyss between insanity and death. Known as The Fireman, he strolls the ruins of New Hampshire, a madman afflicted with Dragonscale who has learned to control the fire within himself, using it as a shield to protect the hunted . . . and as a weapon to avenge the wronged.
In the desperate season to come, as the world burns out of control, Harper must learn the Fireman's secrets before her life—and that of her unborn child—goes up in smoke.
UGGGHHHH I hate long synopses like this!!! That being said, I really, really want to read this one, so it's definitely staying on my list!
Verdict: keep
S is for Stranger by Louise Stone
Synopsis: There are two sides to every story.
But only one is true.
Sophie wished she'd paid more attention when her little daughter, Amy, caught sight of a stranger watching them. She only looked away for a second. But now Amy's gone.
No one trusts an alcoholic. Even a sober one. The police are suspicious of Sophie's tangled story and so is her ex-husband, Paul. Especially when new information emerges that changes everything.
But what if Sophie is telling the truth? What if her daughter really is missing? And what if that stranger at the fairground wasn't really a stranger at all…
All the bad ratings have put me off reading this one.. not to mention someone asked a questions on the Goodreads page that was a spoiler, but didn't mark it as a spoiler 🙃
Intrusion by Mary McCluskey
Synopsis: Kat and Scott Hamilton are dealing with the hardest of losses: the death of their only child. While Scott throws himself back into his law practice in Los Angeles, Kat is hesitant to rejoin the workplace and instead spends her days shell-shocked and confused, unable to focus.
When an unwelcome face from Kat's past in England emerges—the beautiful and imposing Sarah Cherrington—Kat's marriage is thrown into a tailspin. Now wealthy beyond anything she could have imagined as a girl, Sarah appears to have everything she could need or want. But Sarah has an agenda and she wants one more thing. Soon Kat and Scott are caught up in her devious games and power plays.
This sounds awful for my tastes. Nu-uh.
The Other Child by Lucy Atkins
Synopsis: Sometimes a lie seems kinder than the truth . . . but what happens when that lie destroys everything you love?
When Tess is sent to photograph Greg, a high profile paediatric heart surgeon, she sees something troubled in his face, and feels instantly drawn to him. Their relationship quickly deepens, but then Tess, single mother to nine-year-old Joe, falls pregnant, and Greg is offered the job of a lifetime back in his hometown of Boston. Before she knows it, Tess is married, and relocating to the States. But life in an affluent American suburb proves anything but straightforward.
Unsettling things keep happening in the large rented house, Joe is distressed, the next-door neighbours are in crisis, and Tess is sure that someone is watching her. Greg's work is all-consuming and, as the baby's birth looms, he grows more and more unreachable. Something is very wrong, Tess knows it, and then she makes a jaw-dropping discovery.
Another thriller that sounds just like all the others, apart from the fact this one has really mediocre reviews.
Pet Sematary by Stephen King
Synopsis: When Louis Creed & his family move from Chicago into a beautiful old house in rural Maine, it all seems too good to be true: physician father, beautiful wife, charming little daughter, adorable infant son–and now an idyllic home. As a family, they've got it all…right down to the friendly cat.
The road in front of their home frequently claims the lives of neighborhood pets. Near their house, local children have created a cemetery for the dogs & cats killed by the steady stream of transports on the busy highway. Deeper in the woods lies another graveyard, an ancient Indian burial ground whose sinister properties Louis discovers when the family cat is killed.
Honestly, I kind of loved the film version of this, so I definitely want to read the book as I know it will be far less OTT and more creepy.
Phantoms by Dean Koontz
Synopsis: CLOSER…
They found the town silent, apparently abandoned. Then they found the first body strangely swollen and still warm. One hundred fifty were dead, 350 missing. But the terror had only begun in the tiny mountain town of Snowfield, California.
AND CLOSER…
At first they thought it was the work of a maniac. Or terrorists. Or toxic contamination. Or a bizarre new disease.
But then they found the truth. And they saw it in the flesh. And it was worse than anything any of them had ever imagined…
Considering I'm such a huge lover of the horror genre, I really should get round to reading a Koontz book soon! This one sounds like it could be eerie as hell… BUT, I have another of his novels on my TBR that I've just purchased for £1.96!! So I'm going to remove this one… for now.
Synopsis: Obsessed with the idea of creating life itself, Victor Frankenstein plunders graveyards for the material with which to fashion a new being, shocking his creation to life with electricity. But this botched creature, rejected by its creator and denied human companionship, sets out to destroy Frankenstein and all that he holds dear. Mary Shelley's chilling gothic tale was conceived when she was only eighteen, living with her lover Percy Shelley near Lord Byron's villa on Lake Geneva. It would become the world's most famous work of Gothic horror, and Frankenstein's monster an instantly-recognisable symbol of the limits of human creativity.
I really want to read all the hold horror classics, this one included!
Raven: The Untold Story of the Rev. Jim Jones and His People
Synopsis: For the first time in paperback, Tim Reiterman's Raven provides the definitive history of the Rev. Jim Jones, the Peoples Temple, and the murderous ordeal at Jonestown three decades ago. This PEN Award–winning work explores the ideals-gone-wrong, the intrigue, and the grim realities behind the Peoples Temple and its implosion in the jungle of South America. Reiterman's reportage clarifies enduring misperceptions of the character and motives of Jim Jones, the reasons why people followed him, and the important truth that many of those who perished at Jonestown were victims of mass murder rather than suicide.
I have a fascination with Jim Jones and People's Temple. It's such a massive & baffling tragedy from the last 50 years and I continually want to learn more about it. I have another Jim Jones book on my TBR that I got for free on Netgalley, so I'm going to remove this one for now. If the other book leaves me wanting, I'll add it back on.
The Moth Diaries by Rachel Klein
Synopsis: At an exclusive girls' boarding school, a sixteen-year-old girl records her most intimate thoughts in a diary. The object of her obsession is her room-mate, Lucy Blake, and Lucy's friendship with their new and disturbing classmate. Ernessa is a mysterious presence with pale skin and hypnotic eyes. Around her swirl dark secrets and a series of ominous disasters. As fear spreads through the school, fantasy and reality mingle into a waking nightmare of gothic menace, fuelled by the lusts and fears of adolescence.
And at the centre of the diary is the question that haunts all who read it: Is Ernessa really a vampire? Or is the narrator trapped in her own fevered imagination?
LOL this book looks like my worst nightmare. What is with that tacky cover? And why the hell is synopsis trying to be all mysterious about whether Ernessa is a vampire when the book tagline CLEARLY states that she is… I mean maybe that's a ploy, but if it is, it's stupid.
Oh hell yeah, this was a great week for decluttering! Go me! 7 books down feels like a good accomplishment to me!
How many of these books do you know and want to read? Do you disagree with any of my verdicts? Let me know!

The synopsis for The Fireman is super long, right? But then so is the book 😂 I really need to get to this one soon as well! Great list!
alwaystrustinbooks says:
It is a brilliant read. All of Joe Hill's work is top notch. His father is Steven King so great writing is in his blood 😆.
I'm glad to hear that, and I know! Imagine the pressure of having Stephen King, the king of horror, as your dad though! 😛
I had no idea he was Stephen Kings son until a few months ago. The person who pointed it out to me asked "well, didn't you look at his picture? It's obvious"
Valid point 😂
Hahaha I've never seen what he looks like, but I'm assuming he must be the spit of King then? 😂
Pretty much! 😂
Ok I just looked him up and he does look so much like King haha!
I didn't put it together for a long time. His writing definitely has King's influence but his stories are brilliantly unique 😃.
That's good to hear! Stephen King is very hit or miss for me as far as plots go but I do like his writing. So this is promising!
It's soooo long haha. Yeah, I want to get round to this one soon too! 🙂
matxi_books says:
Great week indeed!! I probably should atart doing these… Although my goodreads TBR isn't even accurate because there are a lot missing!! 😂😂
I've never even heard about that People's Temple thing…
They are really great posts to do and same here, mine isn't particularly up to date, by I still like to declutter. And WHAAAATTT I mean I guess I'm totally into cults so it makes sense I know so much about it but he literally made over 900 commit mass suicide!! It's a pretty infamous cult and event 😱
WTH??? Well, I better inform myself then… Even if I don't know him I don't get how people like him an Manson get to brainwash so many out there!?!
I know! It's crazy! Jim Jones was really culturally open in a time when not so many people were so he had a huge amount of black followers and they moved to their own community out of America. He was mad though, as all cult leaders are lol
I SOOO need to do this still! Miss Mandy at Book Princess Reviews and I have a TBR cleaning date next weekend, so we're going to strive to be like you!
Aw that sounds like fun. I love Mandy and her blog, so have a super fun time doing that 😀
Thank you! If you want to declutter anymore, let us know. We'll be Twitter chatting as we go!
nickimags @ The Secret Library says:
I enjoyed the Other Child when I read it last summer. Don't let the average reviews put you off as I thought it was a good psychological thriller.
I did have thoughts to keep this one but as I have so many books to read similar (that I've already purchased) I thought I would let this one go for now 🙂
I know the feeling ☺
Pet Sematary is kind of silly, but it's entertaining 😛
I thought it would be because the movie is haha
I have the same hatred of long synopsis' as you do 😂
Pet Semetary sounds good. Need to read a few of the older King books.
I like this declutter idea. May have to do it myself.
They're such a pain!
Yeah I need to read more King stuff myself and yh I love decluttering my shelf haha, it's oddly relaxing
Looks like you've been quite ruthless in your declutter, but ruthlessness is good sometimes 🙂 Out of this entire list, I've only read Pet Semetary and Frankenstein, so I'm pleased to see you've kept them! Both are fantastic reads 🙂
Yeah, I like to be ruthless because my TBR pile is such a huge mess at the moment haha! I'm glad to hear you liked those two 🙂

BkiUa4jxK1UJ-rRH-Kiw | Q: Add Table Extension for Markdown in Laravel 7 and graham-campbell/markdown My App is based on Laravel 7 and uses graham-campbell/markdown v13.1 as well as webuni/commonmark-table-extension v2.1 .
I would like to extend the markdown environment with a class that adds the Bootstrap css classes table table-striped table-bordered to the rendered html output in case there is a table defined in the html.
I took a look at a lot of examples and came up with the following solution that does not work, unfortunately.
I define the extension in a file App\Classes\Markdown\AddTableClassesExtension.php
<?php
namespace App\Classes\Markdown;
use League\CommonMark\ConfigurableEnvironmentInterface;
use League\CommonMark\Extension\ExtensionInterface;
use League\CommonMark\Extension\Table\Table;
class AddTableClassesExtension implements ExtensionInterface
{
public function register(ConfigurableEnvironmentInterface $environment): void
{
$environment
->addBlockRenderer(Table::class, new \App\Classes\Markdown\AddTableClassesRenderer())
;
}
}
The actual renderer I define in a file App\Classes\Markdown\AddTableClassesRenderer
<?php
namespace App\Classes\Markdown;
use League\CommonMark\Block\Element\AbstractBlock;
use League\CommonMark\Block\Renderer\BlockRendererInterface;
use League\CommonMark\ElementRendererInterface;
use League\CommonMark\Extension\Table\Table;
use League\CommonMark\HtmlElement;
class AddTableClassesRenderer implements BlockRendererInterface {
public function render(AbstractBlock $block, ElementRendererInterface $htmlRenderer, bool $inTightList = false)
{
if (!$block instanceof Table) {
throw new \InvalidArgumentException('Incompatible block type: ' . get_class($block));
}
$attrs = [];
// Add on the class we need:
$attrs['class'] = $htmlRenderer->escape('table table-striped table-bordered', true);
return new HtmlElement('table', $attrs, '', true);
}
}
And finally I add my extension to the config file config\markdown.php
'extensions' => [
App\Classes\Markdown\AddTableClassesExtension::class,
League\CommonMark\Ext\Table\TableExtension::class,
],
This setup creates html tables, but it does not add the css classes to the table attribute.
When I debug it, I do not even reach my code in the renderer class. For testing I use the following method with a table from the documentation of League\CommonMark (https://commonmark.thephpleague.com/1.5/extensions/tables/):
public function testMarkdownExtension()
{
$string = "th | th(center) | th(right)
---|:----------:|----------:
td | td | td";
echo Markdown::convertToHtml($string);
}
What do I need to do to get this simple extension working?
Thank you very much for your help in advance.
A: With the help of the issue Request: Ability to add classes to images. on GitHub I figured it out myself.
I redefined the renderer class
namespace App\Classes\Markdown;
use League\CommonMark\Event\DocumentParsedEvent;
use League\CommonMark\Ext\Table\Table;
class AddTableClassesRenderer {
/**
* @param DocumentParsedEvent $e
*
* @return void
*/
public function __invoke(DocumentParsedEvent $e)
{
$walker = $e->getDocument()->walker();
while ($event = $walker->next()) {
$node = $event->getNode();
if ($node instanceof Table) {
$node->data['attributes'] = array('class' => 'table table-striped table-bordered');
}
}
}
}
and I changed the extension class
namespace App\Classes\Markdown;
use League\CommonMark\ConfigurableEnvironmentInterface;
use League\CommonMark\Event\DocumentParsedEvent;
use League\CommonMark\Extension\ExtensionInterface;
class AddTableClassesExtension implements ExtensionInterface
{
public function register(ConfigurableEnvironmentInterface $environment): void
{
$environment
->addEventListener(DocumentParsedEvent::class, new AddTableClassesRenderer());
;
}
}
Now, the table contains the appropriate classes.
<table class="table table-striped table-bordered">

BkiUdgY4dbghYS8bAexJ | All the students named above have been released, except for Peyman Piran, Behrouz Karimizadeh and Ali Kantouri. Like the others, they were detained for their alleged role in demonstrations around the time of Iran's National University Students' Day, on 7 December 2007. They have been tortured, and Ali Kantouri is not receiving the medication he needs.
Peyman Piran and Behrouz Karimizadeh are believed to be in solitary confinement in section 209 of Evin Prison in Tehran. Peyman Piran was arrested on 4 December by plainclothes police on his way out of Tehran University. He has been flogged on the soles of his feet and ankles. Behrouz Karimizadeh was arrested on 2 December at a friend's house. During interrogation a hard object was thrust into his left ear, and he has lost the hearing in that ear. He has also been given electro-shock torture. He has been forced to "confess" on television to having links with exile groups and attempting to destabilize the country.
The two men have been accused of "acting against state security," and their bail has been set at the equivalent of US$300,000, which their families cannot pay. Behrouz Karimizadeh's family have been told that if they do not pay the bail, he will have to share a cell with common criminals, where the authorities would not be able to guarantee his safety.
Ali Kantouri was arrested on 15 January in the north-western town of Qazvin. His family were telephoned three days later and told that Ali Kantouri was in solitary confinement and under intensive interrogation in Qazvin Prison. During this interrogation his ribs were broken when he refused to be filmed "confessing" to having links with exile groups and attempting to destabilize the country.
Ali Kantouri has been moved between prisons several times: to Evin Prison on 11 March, to Rajaei Shahr Prison in Karaj, Tehran Province, on 18 March and finally to Ghezel Hesar Prison in Karaj, Tehran province. He suffers from asthma and a chest infection for which he was receiving medical treatment before he was arrested. In mid-March he was seen by a prison doctor but has not yet received any medication.
Student groups have been at the forefront of demands for greater human rights in Iran in recent years. Since the election of President Ahmadinejad in 2005, there have been increasing restrictions on civil society. In April 2007, Minister of Intelligence Gholam Hossein Mohseni Ejeie publicly accused student activists and campaigners for the rights of women of being part of an "enemy conspiracy," without giving any reason.
- reminding the authorities that confessions extracted under torture are prohibited by Article 38 of the constitution of Iran.

Summer is birthday central in my family. We have 4 birthdays in June and 4 birthdays in July so summer is basically one huge birthday party for us. My parents usually host one big party in June and another one in July. This year the July party was at the beginning of the month so I celebrated my birthday 4 weeks early. I made the cake for my husband, my cousin, and my dad while my mom made a cake for me.
Fast forward to the end of July and my actual birthday. This summer has been hot. Now I don't mind the heat but I hate the humidity. When it's both hot and humid I'm not able to do much baking in my kitchen because it's just too hot. So when my birthday rolled around and it was 90 degrees with humidity near 100% I knew there was no way I was going to bake a cake for myself.
I do love a good ice cream cake though and there's nothing better on a hot day then ice cream cake. However, I don't have an ice cream maker and I've never made a no churn ice cream cake. So imagine how excited I was when I was walking down the Celebration Aisle at Walmart and saw The Curious Creamery Ice Cream Cake Mix. It's a new product and I was totally intrigued but figured I needed an ice cream maker to make it.
Surprise! I was super excited when I read the box and found that it did not require an ice cream maker! An Ice Cream Cake Mix that didn't require an ice cream maker? I was totally sold. I grabbed a box of the Sweet Cream Ice Cream Cake Mix figuring I could get a really great base flavor with that and then add my own flavors on top of it.
I was pleased to see that not only was it super easy to make the ice cream cake but The Curious Creamery has 70% less calories and sugar then competitors! They don't use any preservatives, artificial colors, or high-fructose corn syrup. They are also concerned about their carbon footprint and make their product in a way that reduces it by 90%. The best part? I love that I can customize this product any way I want. Since it was my birthday I wanted to use fresh ingredients that were in season. Peaches were just starting to come to my local farmer's market so that's the ingredient I went with.
After working with a few flavor combinations I decided on a Brown Butter and Peach Chardonnay Ice Cream Cake that would be decorated with fresh mint. How amazing does that sound? I used the directions on the box as if I were going to make the strawberry ice cream cake but with a twist.
To start I chopped up a few peaches and set them aside. I browned some butter in a pan and then added in the peaches, sugar, and cinnamon. I cooked them for just a few minutes then added in the chardonnay. It made a lovely syrup surrounding the peaches. Then I simply pureed the peach mixture and combined it with heavy cream, sugar, and The Curious Creamery Ice Cream Cake Mix. Then I simply beat it until it was creamy and put it in a pan. It's that easy!
Now it said I could use a cake pan but I used a springform cake pan knowing it would be super easy to get the ice cream cake out of the pan. I also put down plastic wrap at the bottom of the cake pan so I could get it out easier. It worked like I charm. I frozen it over night and popped it out in the morning. I chilled it on a cake round while I debated on how to decorate it. I love that I had a delicious ice cream cake with minimal effort!
I decided on minimal decorations for the minimal effort that went into the cake. I whipped up a simple Chardonnay Buttercream Frosting, sliced up another peach, and picked some mint from my garden. I piped an orange colored border around the base and the top of the cake, arranged the mint leaves and peaches then sprinkled it with some sanding sugar to give it some sparkle. It was absolutely gorgeous and perfect for my birthday! Plus did I mention that the ice cream cake mix is gluten free and is free from preservatives? It's awesome and all of my adult friends can enjoy this scrumptious ice cream cake.
In the end I thought it was delicious. I was worried that it would be super sweet but it wasn't. It had a nice, mellow flavor and was super creamy. The peaches and chardonnay came through but weren't overpowering. It was easy to cut straight out of the freezer and I just love the way it looked! I don't think anyone would believe just how easy it was to make with the help of The Curious Creamery Ice Cream Cake Mix.
Want to give The Curious Creamery Ice Cream Cake Mix a try for yourself? Check out the store locator HERE. Plus click HERE for $2.00 off any 1 Cake Mix from The Curious Creamery! Want to try it but can't find it in the Celebration Aisle at your Walmart? Simply ask the store manager to get it at your store!
Try this easy to make Ice Cream Cake flavored with brown butter, peaches, and Chardonnay. The best part? No ice cream maker required!
Line a cake pan or springform cake pan with plastic wrap and set aside.
Place the butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Cook for 4-5 minutes or until the butter begins to brown. Quickly add in the peaches, sugar, and cinnamon and cook for 2-3 minutes or until the peaches begin to soften.
Stir in the Chardonnay and cook until the liquid is syrupy. Remove from heat and cool 5 minutes. Pour into a blender and puree. Cool completely (I put in the refrigerator for 10 minutes).
To make the cake place the heavy whipping cream, 1¼ cups of the pureed peach mixture, and one packet of The Curious Creamery Sweet Cream Ice Cream Cake Mix in a bowl. Using a mixer, whisk the mixture for 3-5 minutes or until it is wavy and creamy.
Pour the mixture into the prepared cake pan and wrap (or cover). Freeze the mixture for 2-6 hours or until hard frozen. I froze mine overnight.
When ready to decorate remove the ice cream cake from the freezer. If using a springform pan simply release the latch to remove the cake. If using a regular cake pan use the plastic wrap to help you remove the cake from the pan. Place on a cake round and put back in the freezer.
To make the frosting place the butter in a large bowl and beat until smooth. Add in one cup of the powdered sugar and mix until smooth. Add in an additional cup of powdered sugar and beat until smooth. Add the vanilla, cinnamon, Chardonnay, and several drops of orange food coloring and beat until smooth. If the mixture isn't firm enough add additional powdered sugar, several tablespoons at a time, until desired consistency is reached. I needed an additional half cup.
Place the frosting in a piping bag, remove the ice cream cake from the freezer, and pipe the frosting around the bottom and the top. Place back in the freezer.
Gather the ingredients for decorating. Remove the cake from the freezer and arrange the peach slices on top. I placed them in a pinwheel or circle. Then place the mint leaves in between the peaches or whenever you'd like. Finish the cake by sprinkling it with sanding sugar.
Place the ice cream cake back in the freezer until ready to serve.
What flavor ice cream cake would you make with The Curious Creamery Sweet Cream Ice Cream Cake Mix?
My first thoughts, What a beautiful cake! I'd love this for my birthday cake!
Oh man, those brown butter peaches sound amazing all by themselves! But yeah, ice cream is the perfect accompaniment.
That's crazy how you can make an ice cream cake like that!
I can't believe how easy that ice cream mix is! WOW! I'll have to try that. And the cake looks amazing!
Such a lovely cake! If I am made to pick I always choose ice cream cakes so this is awesome. And anything made with brown butter is that much more delicious!
Ice cream cake is always one of my favorites too!
Cake looks absolutely beautiful! Who wouldn't want such a yummy ice cream cake like this.. | c4 | 5 | 1 | 4 | 1 |

Hello My Name is Change! Updates from SAA.
We hope everyone enjoyed our first Assembly at Rush. We have an arrangement with Rush to hold several meetings there each month at an affordable rate. Right now we're using it for Assemblies, Beginner's Meditation, some Secular Support Group meetings, Wonder Club and Organizer Meetings.
If you took our Sunday Assembly Improv Your Life class this month, you know that those great life skills that come from Improv are largely taught through games. Now everyone can come play and practice living better with us before each Assembly. It's an easy, casual, drop-in experience appropriate for all ages and experience levels.
Live Better will resume in June with a longer format and on a new, to-be-announced schedule. As always, watch Facebook and Meetup for details on both these events.
All Assemblers are encouraged to initiate casual, social events like in-home potlucks and pop-up dinners or other get-togethers around town. If you want to share an idea or get on our calendar and share your event through meetup, email marla@sundayassemblyatlanta.org and/or post in our Facebook group.
The meditation group wants to make it easier for anyone curious about meditation to find instruction and support. Starting May 4th, the first Wednesday Meditation will be held at The Rush Center. We will offer a brief instruction then begin with a guided meditation followed by a shorter version of our standard mindfulness meditation. Discussion after will be an opportunity to ask questions and deepen our understanding of the practice and value of meditation. Plus, there will be snacks!!
We got the support group going and everyone seems to be getting a lot from it. Starting next week we'll be alternating out from Lori's place to the Rush Center to make it easier for new people to jump in. Last week, we also had our first members who were new to the community. It was interesting getting to know them in such warm and open setting. Check us out at the Rush Center next week.
Are there other changes you know of or would like to see around Sunday Assembly? Please comment here or in the Facebook group!

I tried different usb-c to HDMI adapters, and they have the same problem.
I have the same problem at home as at work (different screens)
I do not have the problem if u use a (really cheap) usb-c to VGA adapter.
Is this a problem specific to Dell of does Windows have some other DRM-protection? Does anybody have the same problem and hopefully a workaround?

BkiUbXc5qhDACnCyytvA | Lexington, Kentucky – Longtime American Saddlebred enthusiast and historian Lynn Weatherman died last night in his sleep at his home in Ohio.
Weatherman worked at the American Saddlebred Horse Association from 1985 to 2002 as editor of the magazine American Saddlebred and as the historian. Weatherman's knowledge of pedigrees and bloodlines was legendary.
After graduating from Iowa State University while pursuing a degree in Animal Science, he answered an ad in Saddle & Bridle magazine and soon became a full-time contributor to the publication, thus beginning his years as a Saddlebred journalist. He married his wife, Judy, in 1963. After leaving the publication to work at the St. Louis suburban newspaper Community Press and managing a St. Louis equestrian facility, he returned to Saddle & Bridle in the early 1970s where his reputation as a journalist and a horseman really took off.
Weatherman Stables became highly visible on the Midwestern horse show circuit. After moving the farm to Kentucky and renaming it Warm Hearth Farm, Weatherman bred, developed or showed a number of top show horses, including multiple World's Champion CHIt's Time To Go, CHHayden Fox, The Revenooer, Lucky Piece, El Toro Fox, three-gaited pony The Artful Dodger, Chemistry, Elegant Example, and Five-Gaited Golden Palomino World Champion Gold Exchange, whom his daughter, Wendy Lewis, gaited, finished and showed to his title.
In 1985, Weatherman was asked by then Association President Judy Werner to be the editor of American Saddlebred magazine. Weatherman has interviewed nearly every top horseman about their roles and memories in the Saddlebred world.
In 1999, Weatherman received the UPHA's Sallie B. Wheeler Distinguished Service Award.

A Look at IRS Guidance on the Employee Retention Credit: Part III—The IRS Seeks to Close the Barn Door
By S. Michael Chittenden & Marianna G. Dyson on March 11, 2021
Almost a year after the employee retention credit was adopted as part of the Coronavirus, Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act ("CARES Act"), and nearly a month after the final Form 941, Employer's Quarterly Federal Tax Return, claiming the credit for 2020 was due, the IRS issued Notice 2021-20 (the "Notice"). This is the final article in our three-part series looking at how the IRS's guidance on the employee retention credit has changed over the past ten months. This article focuses on how Notice 2021-20 builds on previous IRS guidance to narrow the scope of the credit and limit its availability. Part I focuses on the statute and approach the IRS took in interpreting statute when the IRS issued frequently asked questions ("FAQs") in April 2020. Part II focuses on the initial signs of trouble for employers that first appeared in the updated FAQs in June 2020.
The Notice is the proverbial effort to close the barn door after the horse is out of the barn–and in this case, clear across the pasture. Although much of the guidance in the Notice reflects the ("FAQs") that were posted to the IRS website beginning last April and that have been revised multiple times since, the Notice continues the trend that began last June of narrowing the availability and the amount of the employee retention credit—and in some instances, narrowing it in a way not contemplated by the permissive statutory language. (For our complete coverage of the employee retention credit and IRS guidance, click here.)…

American Rescue Plan Act Goes to Biden for Signature: Includes Changes to Employee Retention Tax Credit, Employer-Provided Dependent Care, Paid Leave Credits, and Deduction Limitations for Executive Compensation
By Sarah Friedman, Jack Lund & S. Michael Chittenden on March 10, 2021
Posted in CARES Act, Employment Taxes, IRS, Legislation
On March 10, 2021, the House passed the fifth major COVID-relief legislation, the American Rescue Plan Act (the "Act"), which it originally passed last week before its amendment and passage by the Senate on March 6. President Biden is expected to sign the Act on Friday, March 12, 2021.
The Act adopts a new payroll tax credit that is similar to the employee retention credit, which was originally enacted as part of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the "CARES Act") and amended by the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021 (the "CAA"). The new credit will be in effect from July 1, 2021, through December 31, 2021. In addition, the Act significantly increases the exclusion for employer-provided dependent care assistance for 2021, and makes prospective changes to extend the availability of paid leave credits similar to those originally adopted as part of the Families First Coronavirus Response Act (the "FFCRA") and that are set to expire on March 31. Finally, the Act will extend the deduction limitation under section 162(m) to additional employees.…

BkiUe4fxK1yAgYaM4AlS | Q: Как сменить origin Ситуация следующая: у меня не было ветки master, я ни разу не коммитился, а затем решил запушить много-много изменений.
Я сделал первый коммит "Initial Commit", а затем создал ветку markup и запушил все изменения. В итоге сейчас на Гитлабе я имею только ветку markup, а ветки master нет вовсе.
К тому же у меня в SmartGit origin стоит на локальную ветку markup.
Могу ли я как-то сделать так, чтобы в моем удаленном репозитории была ветка master с коммитом "Initial commit", а от нее была ветка markup, куда я смогу сливать изменения?
A: командой push можно отправить в отдалённое хранилище только какой-нибудь существующий указатель (мы же помним, что в программе git «ветка» — это указатель на коммит). под тем же именем, или под любым другим произвольным.
т.е., чтобы в отдалённом хранилище появился (пока отсутствующий там) указатель на какой-нибудь произвольный коммит, надо предварительно создать локальный указатель на этот самый коммит.
создать локальный указатель имя, указывающий на коммит с определённым хэшем, можно, например, командой checkout (этот указатель сразу станет и текущим):
$ git checkout -b имя хэш
а теперь указатель можно отправить в отдалённое хранилище (обозначенное, например, как origin) под нужным вам именем — master:
$ git push origin имя:master
если локальный указатель имя вам после этого не нужен, то можете его удалить, предварительно, конечно, сделав текущим какой-нибудь другой указатель (например, markup):
$ git checkout markup
$ git branch -d имя

What are venison steaks?
Muhammad AfzalJuly 24, 2022
The hind half of a deer is used to make venison steak.
In many countries, venison steaks, eaten longer than beef, are high-quality venison cut from the hind half of a venison. Deer, which are often hunted in the wild, are also farmed, especially in New Zealand and the United States. Venison is considered healthier than beef due to its low fat and high protein content. These steaks are available in the same cuts as beef steaks: rib eye, sirloin, flank steak, New York Strip, etc.
Venison steaks are available in the same types of cuts as beef.
Venison fillets can be made with any type of deer, such as red-tailed or white-tailed deer, which belong to the deer family. While wild deer are often thought of as animals, farm-raised deer tend to have less of an animal flavor. The taste of game, a strong, sometimes unpleasant taste associated with wild animals, is due to the animals' diet, the sporadic availability of food, and even their last moments when hunted. Since farm-raised deer have regular, high-quality food sources, many believe that game flavor is less evident in farm-raised cattle.
In part because of the meaty flavor, venison steaks are often marinated before cooking. Although there are recipes that do not suggest marinating the venison steak, most do. Venison is said to take on the flavors of what the deer eats most often. For that reason, it is sometimes described as having a woody or sweet flavor.
When choosing a venison steak, it's important to pay close attention to color. Darker meat with white fat is the best choice for flavor. This meat is younger and will be more tender and flavorful after cooking. Although venison is often hard to find in grocery stores, there are numerous places you can order it online. Many places can ship fresh or frozen fillets; fillets can generally be frozen for three to six months.
In addition to eating steaks as a main dish, venison steaks can also be cut into strips about 1 inch (2.54 cm) thick and made into jerky. Venison jerky is prepared by marinating the strips in salt and other spices overnight. The salty strips are then baked at a very low temperature for about six hours.
Venison steak can also be diced and put into stews or skewered with fruit or vegetables and cooked as skewers. They can be cut into slices to stir-fry or even fry chicken. However, the usual cooking suggestion is medium rare for best flavor.

BkiUfKg5qsFCifBZHcxR | The Imperial Government is nominally a monarchy with the Immortal God Emperor at its heart. However the Emperor has been silent for nearly ten thousand years now, interned upon His Great Golden Throne after receiving horrific injuries at the hands of Horus. After His interment, the Imperial government was reformed by His son, Guilliman, who placed the Senatorum Imperialis, most commonly called 'The High Lords of Terra', as the ruling body of the Imperium in the Emperor's absence.
The High Lords rule with Imperial prerogative on their side and can demand the obedience of any servant of the Imperium, save only the Imperial Inquisition who owe their power directly to the Emperor personally through ancient authority granted to their secretive kind. However, because of the vast distances involved in governing the Imperium and the unreliability of interstellar travel and communications, the High Lords focus solely upon the issues that affect the Imperium as a whole, rather than the day to day minutiae of each of its worlds.
Each planet of the Imperium has its own system of governance. The great majority reflect the Imperium in that they are autocracies led by a figure commonly referred to as an Imperial Governor or Imperial Commander, though many hold local titles. More often than not this is a hereditary role, held by a member of the planet's highest caste out of respect for tradition, and 'right' to rule rather than by merit. Though this is the most common form of Government (and the one the Imperium encourages when it installs the leadership of a newly conquered world), there are other systems, but they are universally authoritarian. Oligarchies and technocracies are the second most common; democracy is all but extinct, and where it does exist, there is only a single, Imperial, party. Totalitarianism is what holds the Imperium together, and it believes that freedoms like open democracies encourage idleness and disobedience.
Above local governments, each region of the galaxy is divided into administrative zones called 'Sectors'. Each is ruled by a Sector Government or, if the Sector is under military rule as it is the subject of a large-scale military operation or 'Crusade', an individual granted the rank of Warmaster. The majority of Sector Governments represent the furthest reach of direct communication from the High Lords of Terra themselves; it is their responsibility to ensure that the worlds under their administration remain loyal and productive. They wield the might of the Imperial Battle Fleets and the Regiments of the Imperial Guard to keep worlds in line should they stray or fail to meet production quotas (or 'tithes').
Above the Sector Governments are the major administrative zones of the Imperium, the Segmenta: Segmentum Obscurus to the Galactic North, Segmentum Ultima to the Galactic East, Segmentum Tempestus to the Galactic South, Segmentum Pacificus to the Galactic West, and at the center of the Imperium, Segmentum Solar: the heavily defended cradle of mankind, and the location of Terra and the Sol System. The Prosperitas Sector is located in Segmentum Obscurus, bordering several Sectors vital for the defence of the Imperium from the periodic threats that emerge from the permanent Warp Storm known as the Eye of Terror.
The whole Imperium would collapse if it were not for the creaking inefficient Imperial Civil Service, the Adeptus Terra. This is made up of several divisions known as 'Adepti', each the equivalent of a a M.2 British Civil Service 'Ministry' with special responsibilities for a particular area of life in the Imperium. The majority of these relevant to most citizens are covered in other sections, but the single most prevalent of these, the Adeptus Administratum, plays an important role in the governance of the Imperium.
Without the Adeptus Administratum the Imperium would grind to a halt. Its legions of administrators, recorders, bureaucrats, scribes, political assistants, advisors and other dull-titled individuals are the grey-robed and dour-faced souls that ensure that the Imperium runs. Nominally all Governments are a part of the Administratum, but most like to show a semblance of autonomy and direct control. In truth, the Administratum runs almost all levels of life on a world, leaving policy and major decision making to the Imperium's ruling caste while they go about the boring daily tasks, forms and paperwork upon which the Imperium is run.
Even so, the Administratum has a horrific reputation with most common citizens. Its obsession with imbuing in its employees an almost religiously fanatical obsession with guidelines, rules, procedure and a strict adherence to filling in the correct forms make them a nightmare to deal with if an average citizen wants anything done. A highborn citizen might well be able to speed things along a little with influence, but for the majority of citizens, while dealing with local administrators is not awful, anything that requires the approval of someone more senior can take days of forms and queuing before it is even heard; often it can be years before a request is confirmed by someone more senior, if it needs to be taken to the Sector level. Notoriously on frontier worlds is is not unheard of for birth certificates to be officially recorded for census on Terra as the death certificate for that citizen is leaving their homeworld.
For this reason and reputation, most citizens avoid involving the Administratum in their lives where possible.
A handful of worlds enjoy a status outside the reach of the Administratum; these tend to be places of power for one of the other Adeptus Terra, such as the Adeptus Ministorum, the Priests of the Imperial Faith, who prefer their holy planets to be under their direct rule. Worlds at war or undergoing invasion often fall under the rule of a Military Officer but these situations are fleeting as that Military Governor is often quickly made an official ruler.
The Forgeworlds of the Adeptus Mechanicus are a unique entity. The Mechanicum or the Martian Empire is, in theory, a separate entity to the Imperium bound by ancient treaties over ten thousand years old. Though the lines are blurred by varying degrees of integration with the Imperium (some Forgeworlds have dual Imperial and Mechanicus governments) the Forge Worlds are mostly governed by the Mechanicus' internal bureaucracy with any Administratum functionaries existing to ensure manufactured goods are routed to where in the galaxy they are needed.
The Prosperitas Sector is under the rule of a single Military Leader, known as a Warmaster. This is an ancient title of dark provenance bestowed upon a great leader in times of total war. The nature of the Prosperitas Sector is that it has been in a state of total war since its rediscovery, its military forces combined into a massive combined arms formation known as a Crusade. The Office of the Warmaster is designed to simultaneously provide leadership to the Crusade while directing the output of the Prosperitas Sector into supporting the myriad war efforts. | c4 | 4 | 4 | 5 | 4 |

Following the release of the Electoral Boundaries Review Committee's report on 13 March 2020, it was announced that, Kebun Baru SMC, would be re-introduced for the 2020 general election. The constituency was carved out of Nee Soon GRC, where the constituency is transferred to in 2015.
In the 2020 general election, People's Action Party's (PAP) Henry Kwek defeated Progress Singapore Party's Kumaran Pillai with a vote count of 62.97% vs 37.03%, which made Kwek the MP for Kebun Baru.

Hindi is the name given to an Indo-Aryan language, or a dialect continuum of languages, spoken in northern and central India (the "Hindi belt")Native speakers of Hindi dialects between them account for 41% of the Indian population (2001 Indian census). That is the reason because of which the entertainment industry in India mainly use Hindi. And the idustry which is also called as bollywood is the second largest industry producing movies in the world. As defined in the Constitution, Hindi is the official language of India and is one of the 22 scheduled languages specified in the Eighth Schedule to the Constitution. Official Hindi is often described as Modern Standard Hindi, which is used, along with English, for administration of the central government. Standard Hindi is a sanskritised register derived from the khari boli dialect. Urdu is a different, persianised, register of the same dialect. Taken together, these registers are historically also known as Hindustani. | c4 | 2 | 3 | 2 | 1 |

Hunting: All the ghosts have different behaviors here.

When a ghost has sampled a target for pathfinding, it does not update it again until it has reached its target.

I don't have VS installed, so I don't have the .dll, and I'm not too keen on downloading .dll's from shady sites, and I'm *really* not keen on dealing with an enormous VS installation for the sake of pacman.

PAX on Location: An exclusive look at the Carnival Horizon in NYC
After a few routes in Europe, a transatlantic, and a stopover in Halifax, the Carnival Horizon arrived in New York last Wednesday, where the port will be its home for the summer. PAX joined in on the celebrations and festivities on board the newest member of the Vista Class.
A colourful debut
The first evening was an opportunity to show nearly 1,000 guests, mostly travel agents, how the festive atmosphere spreads very quickly on board the ships of the company.
The christening ceremony, led by Carnival Cruise Line president Christine Duffy, and John Heald, cruise director and ambassador for CCL, concluded with the traditional champagne bottle, poured on an inaugural bell by the ship's godmother, American singer and actress Queen Latifah.
Afterwards, guests were invited to a "Lip Sync Battle", featuring Queen Latifah and NFL athlete Jake Elliott. Unsurprisingly, Queen Latifah won the contest with flying colours.
A delicious dinner was held at the Meridien restaurant, an outdoor dance party, on a warm New York evening with a fireworks show over the Hudson.
Guests were able to try different restaurants, bars and activities, such as the famous Skyride and the SkyCourse, and watch shows until the end of the night, illuminated by the buildings of Manhattan.
Vista Class
The Carnival Horizon is the second ship of the Vista class, with the Carnival Vista. At the end of 2019 the Carnival Panorama will follow, in every respect similar to the Horizon.
Here are a few key figures on the Horizon:
1,967 cabins
3,934 passengers, in normal capacity (double occupancy)
4,977 passengers, maximum capacity
1,450 crew members
Comparatively, the Vista's figures are a bit different:
The gigantic water park is under the theme of Dr. Seuss and Cat in the Hat, a first for a Carnival ship;
The Bonsai Teppanyaki Restaurant is the first Teppanyaki in the fleet;
Guy Fieri's "Guy's Pig and Anchor Smokehouse Brewhouse restaurant, star of the BBQ on The Food Network and partner on many of Carnival's ships, returns with a new concept, embellished for the first time by four beers brewed from the ship by the brewer Colin Presby.
The Havana section, which includes a private swimming pool and bar, as well as cabins with large terrace, has been expanded because it is very popular with the clientele.
The number of shops, on two bridges, has been increased, with the first Victoria's Secret at sea.
Elevators are on the cutting edge of technology. Passengers select the desired deck / floor and are directed to the scheduled lift for their destination, saving guests time by up to 40 per cent.
Itineraries from New York to Miami
Until mid-September, Carnival Horizon will be home in New York and will offer:
Five four-day routes to Bermuda (departures May 24, June 21, July 19, August 16 and September 13)
Eight-day itineraries for the Caribbean, with Grand Turk, San Juan and Amber Cove (Dominican Republic) on the program. "This is a great opportunity for families in Quebec and Ontario. They can drive to New York in eight hours, enjoy the city one day, and then take part in a cruise on our new ship, "says Lynne St-Jean, business development representative for Eastern Canada at Carnival.
As of September 22, the Horizon will reposition itself in Miami, its long-term home port. It will then offer six and eight day itineraries to the Caribbean.
The six-day departure on Sunday will include stops at Ocho Rios, Grand Cayman and Cozumel. The eight-day departure on Saturday will include either stops at Grand Turk, La Romana, Curacao and Aruba; Grand Turk, San Juan, St. Kitts and St. Martin.

BkiUevzxK6-gDw5AwubE | 11 Utopian Societies Gone Horribly Wrong
Syfy's 'Ascension' concerns a space mission -- "a lifeboat for humanity" -- hoping to transport hundreds of Earthlings to a new planet. As idealism descends into madness, we think of these other movies where good intentions go south.
Minority Report (2002)
Imagine a world that is essentially murder-free, all because a trio of mutants can predict the violent act before it happens. Of course, that leaves a lot open to interpretation, as a cop (Tom Cruise) finds out when he's set up for a future homicide.
Yes, it's pretty lousy to live in a virtual world while machines suck your real body dry. But when you think about it, life in the Matrix must have been pretty laid-back before Keanu Reeves became Neo and messed it all up.
Logan's Run (1976)
A computer is also pulling the strings in this future society, where people die at 30 as a means of population control. Until then, existence is wonderful -- unless, like Logan 5 (Michael York), you decide you want to turn 31.
1990s teens Reese Witherspoon and Tobey Maguire are transported into a black and white 1950s TV idyll, but as they enlighten – and colorize – some of the locals with their liberated ways, the other townsfolk become, well, unpleasant.
The Time Machine (1960)
Time traveler H. G. Wells (Rod Taylor) winds up 800,000 years in the future to find that humanity has evolved into two species: the ignorant, beautiful Eloi and the hideous underground Morlocks, who feed them -- then feed on them.
Animal Farm (1954)
This was the first animated adaptation of the classic George Orwell novel. You know the story: barnyard animals rise up against the farmers, only to see their revolutionary ideals degrade into hypocrisy, corruption and betrayal.
The Village (2004)
Like many M. Night Shyamalan movies, this story depends on the twist at the end. But let's just say that, for a mysterious, pre-industrial community in the forest, the monsters that allegedly lurk outside the village are the least of their concerns.
The Mosquito Coast (1986)
In one of his darkest roles, Harrison Ford plays an inventor who takes his family – including Helen Mirren and River Phoenix – to the jungles of Belize, where he builds his own little paradise. When guerrilla fighters horn in, however, Ford loses it.
Things routinely go horribly wrong in Lars Von Trier's films, and so it goes with his experimental drama, shot on a nearly naked sound stage, in which the good citizens of Dogville turn into petty fascists once vulnerable Nicole Kidman arrives.
Dawn of the Planet of the Apes (2014)
After the Simian Flu wipes out most of mankind, the intelligent apes of Northern California have a pretty good thing going on -- until some human survivors from San Francisco show up, and a sinister ape starts plotting his own revenge.
Island of Lost Souls (1932)
"Are we not men?" In the best adaptation of H.G. Wells's 'The Island of Dr. Moreau,' a mad scientist (Charles Laughton) rules over an isle filled with his human-animal experiments. But once Moreau breaks his own law, his minions turn against him.

BkiUdkw5qX_BqBVRG_I0 | London Olympic village could be Silicon Valley in UK
Google, Facebook and Intel promise investment
By Carrie-Ann Skinner
The government wants to turn the area around the Olympic Village in Stratford into the UK's rival to Silicon Valley in California.
Prime Minister David Cameron will reveal plans to investors today that will include an entrepreneuria visa to allow multinational companies to transfer staff across to UK offices.
Google, Facebook and Intel are among the companies that have already agreed to invest in the area which includes the Olympic Village at Stratford and other parts of the East End of London.
Google said it will create an 'Innovation Hub' in a bid to develop the next generation web services, while Facebook plans to open an UK office for its Developer Garage scheme.
During his speech, Cameron is expected to say: "Silicon Valley is the leading place in the world for hi-tech growth and innovation. But there's no reason why it has to be so predominant".
"Our ambition is to bring together the creativity and energy of Shoreditch and the incredible possibilities of the Olympic Park to help make east London one of the world's great technology centres." | commoncrawl | 4 | 2 | 5 | 1 |

A Fuck Buddy in Westhoughton
Here is how to get into a threesome online and make it a memorable sexual reality. Where to Find Partners Online?
She scooted forward so that the tip of my cock was pressed between her pussy lips. Holding firmly onto my shaft, she scooted backward, taking me inside her. Shortly thereafter I returned the favor. I kissed her sexy mouth, slowly undid her jeans and slipped a hand down into her honey-zone. Unexpectedly, he slaps my ass hard, it makes me scream, he covers my mouth. The pounding he's giving me is deep, relentless, and I can't hold myself up. He grabs my hips and keep me from falling over, penetrating me wildly and without mercy. I can scream freely now that his hands are busy with my hips, my pussy is ready to have an orgasm, he increases force and speed.
She can lay on her back or lean over him. The best position is when she kneels in front of him and taking him whole between her huge inviting breasts. Sexual preferences subjects have always been viewed as a taboo by many. It is not something that is openly discussed at parties or over a cup a tea. Couples often discuss the idea of "ménage a tois" online but it never materializes, owing to aspects like who to ask, how to find a willing third person and the consequences afterward.
I cried more and agreed to him. He then kept his lips to my ears and sucked them softly. She knew she had to satisfy him, so she moaned a little,"ahh….auch".He hugged my bare belly from behind and kept his index finger into my navel. I had a tingling sensation in my body and she was going to start to enjoy his act. She said to him with a moan, please David …aahh, which than turn into intercourse between them. "Oh God!" she moaned loudly as my cock began to penetrate into her vagina. It was a moan acknowledging that there was no going back...it was actually happening...her son had mounted her, and was now driving my manhood into her most secret place! Her pussy was much tighter than I expected.
I know the only way to win is to let him have his way. I let go. He straightens up, pulling me with him to a kneeling position, my back to his chest, still holding tight to my wrists, pressing them against my breasts. HIs cock is pulsing inside my pussy, I can feel his 10 ½ inches of hard dick coming in and out. We both pulled back, but immediately locked together again as we began kissing passionately; our tongues swirling around one another as he slid his hands down my back. We finally broke apart and then raced towards the bed, pulling off clothing on the way.
Promise to use a condom unless you want to be ignored. This will increase his/her confidence to meet and have sex with you since helshe will be assured of a safe sexual exercise. Most of them are worried about your health status since they have never met you or they don't want the casual sex activity to result in pregnancy, so promising to use a condom will add you marks.
"Yeah, you like my dick inside you don't you, I?" He groaned back at me, watching intently as I felt myself up roughly. I felt the warmth of her breath as she lowered her face down to my cock. She licked me from the base of my shaft, all the way up to the tip. Then she sealed her lips around my head, and began tonguing right underneath my head.
· A good-looking face and a fit body does no harm. Groom yourself.
They imagine doing all sorts sexual things with her. Taking her secretly to a distant motel, getting down on her with his tongue giving her the perfect orgasm. Throwing her over the bed and having sex in every desired position. The car was still moving, the thumping of the metal against the floor marking our sex session.
So if Westhoughton is not the location in Greater Manchester that you are looking for then we also cover the other areas on our other pages.
He opens his hands and covers my breasts. His hands are big, I like that. My nipples get hard against the palm of his hands. He squeezes ever so lightly. We take a moment to just stand there, still joined, not moving, but remembering how to breathe, trying to slow our thundering hearts. Just as my vision starts to swim back to me I feel him pull away. I slowly turn and step into him.…

Increase in Suicide Rates and Teen Depression
By Janet Singer
Researchers at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention published a report on January 11, 2017, detailing our country's progress in twenty-six public health categories. The report is based on an initiative called Healthy People 2020, which is comprised of ten-year national health goals set in 2010. Healthy People 2020 calls for improvement in a wide array of areas including, but not limited to, quality of the environment, health care services, and mental health.
The good news is we've made progress in many important areas. Since the initiative began, fewer teens are smoking cigarettes, and more people are exercising. The national rates of infant death and preterm birth have both declined.
While we've made progress in some areas, others, such as obesity rates in adults and children, have remained stagnant.
And finally, there are three areas in which we have regressed. One is oral health and the other two — you guessed it — are in the mental health category. According to the report, the suicide rate has increased from 11.3 suicides per 100,000 people (in 2007) to 12.6 suicides per 100,000 people (in 2013). In addition, the depression rate in teenagers has increased from 8.3 percent (in 2008) to 10.7 percent (in 2013).
A significant increase in teen depression as well as an increase in the suicide rate. What's going on with us?
One possible reason for the increase in the depression rate might actually be a good thing. Greater awareness of mental health issues, specifically depression, might help parents, doctors, teachers, and teens themselves recognize the symptoms and then hopefully seek help. In other words, maybe the rate of depression isn't actually higher than in the past, it is just being recognized and acknowledged more.
But is that the whole story? I think it would be naïve to believe that. There are so many other factors that might be contributing to this rise in mental health issues.
Drug use, both legal and illegal, can certainly come into play when talking about teen depression and suicide in general. The over-prescribing and misuse of prescription medications such as opioids has become rampant and illegal drug use — heroin for example — is alive and well. Ironically, anti-depressants and antipsychotics are both known to sometimes cause depression and/or suicidal thoughts in children, teens, and young adults.
Another possible explanation for the increase in suicide and teen depression is one we hear over and over: We put too much pressure on our young people. We force them to grow up too quickly. Pressure. Stress. Anxiety. There is no escaping. Stressors might be related to academics, peer pressure, family issues, and more.
Agreed. I wholeheartedly believe our children should be playing (with no screens involved) instead of attending one scheduled enrichment classes after another. They shouldn't be dealing with hours of homework every night or worrying about getting into the best college possible before they even hit middle school.
But still. Why are so many more teens and young adults struggling with depression than during the Great Depression? Surely there was an abundance of stressors during that time.
I don't really know, but I can't help thinking that our lack of community and connection to each other is a critical factor here. We have learned to focus on the wrong things. Our families are dysfunctional – our world is dysfunctional – and we are paying the price.
How many of us have heard stories of young people (or maybe not so young people) who were able to turn their lives around because one person took an interest in them (the movie The Blind Side comes to mind). Someone to listen to you. Someone to care. Sometimes that is all it takes.
I believe we need to strengthen our communities and our connections to one another. Not virtually, but in real life. We need to care and we need to be there for one another, in any way we can.
I think we should take this backward slide as a warning — a sign that we are not going down the right path. We are forgetting what matters most and it is taking its toll. I can't help thinking of the recent Women's Marches that were held around the country. Friends who attended them felt buoyed by them and I repeatedly heard comments such as, "I felt so much better and not so alone," "It was great to be part of a community," "I feel renewed and ready to advocate some more."
While these people didn't necessarily start out depressed, they felt the power of community — of being with others who cared. I think we all need to find ways to get back to the basics — caring, supporting, and nurturing not only ourselves, but our loved ones, our friends, and our neighbors. Depression and suicide are typically illnesses of loneliness. Let's reverse this backward trend by changing our priorities and how we live our lives. We owe it to ourselves, our families and our communities.

He was preceded in death by his beloved wife of 45 years, Carol Herington Carmody. He was the adored father of Kitty Carmody Hagan and Eileen Carmody-Wicks, and the cherished "Papa" of Bree Hagan, Ashton Wicks and Hannah Wicks, all of Slidell.

After graduating from high school in Crete, IL in 1960, he joined the U.S. Navy as an electronics technician and nuclear reactor operator.

Don was deeply spiritual and actively involved with St. Margaret Mary Catholic Church for 35 years. He served the church community in a variety of capacities, as a parish council member, usher, and as an Extraordinary Minister of the Eucharist. Together with his wife, he received the honor of the Order of St. Louis IX Medallion in recognition of their dedication to the work of the Catholic Church in the Archdiocese of New Orleans. Don will be fondly remembered and deeply missed by all who knew him. His kindness defined him and his generosity to family, friends and even complete strangers knew no limits. He lived his life by the credo that time and attention were the greatest gifts one could bestow, and he gave generously of all he had, preferring to lead by example without expectation of recognition or reward. Friends and family are invited to participate in a celebration of Don's life. Visitation will be at St. Margaret Mary Catholic Church, 1050 Robert Blvd., on Saturday, March 31, 2012, from 9:00 am to 11:00 am, with the Funeral Mass to follow at 11:00 a.m. Interment will follow at Forest Lawn Cemetery, 1751 Gause Blvd. West, where Don will be laid to rest beside his wife in the mausoleum. In lieu of flowers, his family asks that Masses be said, donations made to the St. Margaret Mary Building Fund, Second Harvest of New Orleans, or the charity of your choice .

BkiUfznxK7ICUt7cRK5M | Experimental archeologist, trapper, writer, Kim likes to think of himself as a guardian of ancestral knowledge. He lives between Europe and Yukon in North-West Canada where he owns a concession isolated from the modern world. There he tries to unlearn a bit of our modern world to make room for a more subtle approach to the environment. But foremost, it is the lost dialogue with nature that Kim wishes to find through this "search of our origins". A dialogue that means relationship passes before progress and intention before action. For this, he collaborates with the First Nations of Yukon to be able to imagine a way to preserve the values that he treasures. He does not feel concerned by the modern world that, according to him, is a machine that kills diversity, may it be biological or cultural. He thinks that it is high time for our society to find its place in the ecosystem. Kim is co-author, with Bernard Bertrand of the book Arts de Vie Sauvage, gestes premiers, at the Terran editions. He also wrote several practical cards Devenir autonome (how to become self relient) at the Ypypyp editions. The Arthaud editions will publish in 2019 his notebooks of his life in the wild. He is also an active member of the Ecole Pratique de la Nature et des Savoirs and cofounder, with Michael Palma, of the PACT platform.
After his studies of ethnobotanist and his many experiences in the woods confirming his knowledge of life in the wild, Pâris is today passionate about the plant kingdom. He has been hosting for several years wild life immersion courses throughout Europe. He will accompany you very naturally and share his love for plants and the living through their discovery. He is also the author of the photos fort the book Plantes urbaines written by François Couplan at the Sang de la Terre editions.
After his studies as ethnobotanist, Marc underwent training in permaculture. He now lives of his courses on wild edible plants and natural gardening. For him, the apparent barrier between the wild and the cultivated is doomed to disappear and give way to a world where one could help themselves to wild plants in the spring when the sapplings are still warm inside, and eat the garden vegetables in the middle of summer while the wild plants will be preparing their seeds for the following year. Autumn sees both ressources mix in a world of wild and cultivated fruit to fill jars of delicious food for winter. He loves to share his recipies of wild foods cooked on the camp fire with as light a bag as possible for a delicious and easy hiking experience.
Michel Racine, 38 years old, mountain guide, nature enthousiast, spent his life between collectives adventures and immersions in nature. His journey pushes him to question and experiment attitudes and practices that help develop relationships with others, human or other.
Originaly from Estavayer-le-Lac in Switzerland, Pierre-Yves Duc, passionnate about hunting, fishing and prehistoric times, went to live in Yukon 10 years ago. He came to this faraway land to live his passion for life in the wild. There he trained sled dogs during several years before finally buying a trapping concession with Kim Pasche. There he hunts big game of North-West Canada, fishes and does trapping. Wanting to share his knowledge, Pierre-Yves created a few years ago Call of the Wild Outdoor Adventure, a structure that helps other people who are passionate about life in the wilderness to learn about living in the woods and the life of trappers in the North of Canada.
Philippe has been exploring for several years the plant kingdom and the relation that people have with hit. The pyrenees mountains, the Alps of Haute Provence, the Lauresylves of the Canaries, the North Canada or the peninsula of Cap de Bonne Espérance; every new destination offers the possibility to learn a bit more. His research brought him recently to the school benches of the Collège Pratique d'Ethnobotanique, founded in 2008 by François Couplan. He has started to coanimate botanical courses and nature immersion courses during the summer 2009.
The book "Arts de Vie Sauvage et gestes premiers", written by Kim Pasche and Bernard Bertran, Terran Editions.

BkiUcxo4uzlha6mQogYe | I'd go for the Latin approach, but I took 4 years of it and have used the words "matrices" and "codices" in spoken sentences. I was using an old print edition of MW3. I may have misinterpreted their notation. Maybe they assumed that their readers understood pluralization morphology or had read some appendix on it.
The entry has "pl -ES", the source of my statement above. The "Plurals" section mentions the rule (#4 in their sequence) that words ending in s, z, x, ch, sh form plurals by adding -es. Rule #18.1 mentions Latin plurals and gives six "x" examples, which of course have the "-ces" endings. They do not present a good algorithm for how to apply their rules. Furthermore the opening paragraph says, more or less, that you can get away with -s and -es. No wonder so many were scandalized when MW3 came out. Of course, they have a disclaimer about the completeness of the 23 "rules" that they present.
Putting aside the colorful xenophobia of all the comments above, I think all that has been established so far, is that "accusatrix" is not a word. Certainly, the word you are looking for in Modern English is accuser. The first error above, is in the twisted thinking that suggests accusator is a word at all - in modern usage, it is not. The second fallacy is that gender could (in Modern English) be then applied in an even more archaic fashion to the more archaic variant or that obsolete term, in modern usage - it is not. It is perhaps reasonable to think that if it is a word, a plural could be formed from that. A devoted historic linguist might, at that point look to the etymology. But mere mortals do no such thing, choosing instead the nearest rule that applies in their language. The fact that it doesn't appear to be a word comes as no surprise then. But it is nothing short of erroneous, at that point, to then take a pluralization rule, not from the language it was borrowed from, no, no, from yet another language...then to suggest - at that painfully stretched point - that the end result is Modern English. Well, it's not.

BkiUdAo25V5ikWNAG4wj | My favorite woodworker has always been James Krenov.
I became aware of him quite by accident when I came across a well-worn copy of A Cabinetmaker's Notebook in a used book store. I immediately fell in love with his ideas, the way he wrote, and the beautiful cabinets he built.
While I commend his books to you, I think this interview with Fine Woodworking Magazine is a very approachable explanation of his design process, by way of example. In this interview from the late nineties, Krenov describes how the wood he chose for the sides of a cabinet he was building changed its overall design.
Originally conceived of as a purely rectilinear cabinet, he noticed a "pleasing" forward curve in the wood grain, so he changed the leg design so that they would sweep forward to the floor. The character of the wood in part of a cabinet changed the design of the entire thing.
I see this as a metaphor for the best way to make improvements to oneself. For decades, I tried to make wholesale, sweeping changes to who I am, with minimal success. In the last few years, and almost in spite of myself, I came to realize that I could make real, meaningful improvements to myself, if I took the time to better consider my current state before enacting a plan to bring about a final state.
But while you sometimes let the wood guide you, you shouldn't let it dictate. You have to refer to the wood without abandoning your intentions. There has to be a cooperation, a partnership between the two. The idea is to follow, but be careful.
I plan to post here daily, as an act of discipline and as a means to improve my writing, and I hope you stick around to see how I turn out. | c4 | 5 | 1 | 5 | 2 |
BkiUdWo5qX_Bw5o9H5eg | It doesn't always include physical violence. Someone using offensive language towards you or harassing you because of who you are, or who they think you are, is also a crime. The same goes for someone posting abusive or offensive messages about you online.
If it happens to you, you might be tempted to shrug it off. But if you tell us, we can investigate and stop it from getting worse – either for you or someone else.
In most crimes it is something the victim has in their possession or control that motivates the offender to commit the crime. With hate crime it is 'who' the victim is, or 'what' the victim appears to be that motivates the offender to commit the crime.
Evidence of the hate element is not a requirement. You do not need to personally perceive the incident to be hate related. It would be enough if another person, a witness or even a police officer thought that the incident was hate related.
Hate crime can fall into one of three main types: physical assault, verbal abuse and incitement to hatred.
Verbal abuse, threats or name-calling can be a common and extremely unpleasant experience for minority groups.
Victims of verbal abuse are often unclear whether an offence has been committed or believe there is little they can do. However, there are laws in place to protect you from verbal abuse.
If you've been the victim of verbal abuse, talk to the police or one of our partner organisations about what has happened. You'll find a list of them on our How to report hate crime page.
Even if you don't know who verbally abused you, the information could still help us to improve how we police the area where the abuse took place.
The offence of incitement to hatred occurs when someone acts in a way that is threatening and intended to stir up hatred. That could be in words, pictures, videos, music, and includes information posted on websites. | c4 | 5 | 1 | 5 | 2 |
BkiUd4o4eIZjyN3HB72B | Q: converting DD-MM-YYYY to time (unix) Can anyone please tell me how I convert DD-MM-YYY (text) to TIME (unix) thought I'd say that I have this line at the top of all my pages, just in case it means a different code.
date_default_timezone_set('Europe/London'); //### Set the default timezone
A: You will need strtotime() as long as its DD-MM-YYYY or similar approved format.
A: d-m-y is a valid GNU format. Use
$timestamp = strtotime('1-1-2012');
If its already in SQL you can call the databases method of conversion. MySQL uses UNIX_TIMESTAMP that should accept a valid datetime type in SQL.
A: I think this is what you are looking for:
$date = "01/06/2012";
list($month, $day, $year) = split('/', $date);
$timeStamp = mktime(0, 0, 0, $month, $day, $year);
echo $timeStamp;
Hope that helps...
A: $date_string = "24/12/2017";
echo strtotime(str_replace("/", "-", $date_string)));

BkiUcR_xK2li-F6Jx7Ys | Black and White Cookie Giveaway
The Black and White Cookie Company has kindly agreed to do a giveaway. Black and White cookies are famous in New York City when I was last there I had a few he he, they are so good, like a cookie but a little like a cake, with one half coated in chocolate and one half with white icing. They are perfect with a good cup of coffee and great to share. I love this company as its started by a real Entrepreneur. He saw the gap in the market to ship this tasty cookie around the country and share one of NYC's historical cookies.
Heres a little about the company, all you have to do is leave a comment (US Residents only, sorry) and I will pick a winner at random to receive a pack of 12 cookies to share with your loved ones. I know I am a dietitian but I honestly believe a small cookie once in while can fit into a balanced meal plan!
I will announce the winner on friday.
The Black and White Cookie Company was conceptualized by Joshua Auerbach, a long time fan of the Black and White Cookie. Joshua was struck by the conspicuous absence of the treat outside of New York City. In February of 2001, he registered blackandwhitecookies.com. Proof of concept was rapid as email after email arrived from ex-New Yorkers, tourists, and others eager to purchase the cookies.
Excited to meet the increasing requests for authentic New York Black & White's, Joshua sought advice from a family friend, a German baker who owned several bakeries in New York City at the time of the origin of Black & White Cookies. The baker gave Joshua a great recipe to start with.
Joshua worked diligently for over 3 years to refine the recipe, adding a tasty touch to a timeless classic. He took the recipe and made it even better; crisp around the edges, soft in the middle with that perfect hint of lemon. Our Black and Whites are truly the best Black and White Cookies on earth!
and if you want to make them:
or Amanda from Amanda's Cookin has a great recipe for them

I have never seen those before but they look really good.

I have yet to find a GOOD black and white cookie in LA. Most seem to think it's just a sugar cookie coated 1/2 in chocolate icing and half in white icing -ick
Congrats on the giveaway...that's a nice one!

I've never heard of Black and White cookie, and I live in New York!!! Rebecca, you know everyone!
Kara Hadley March 1, 2010 at 11:03 PM
this makes me miss new york. whenever i visit my family there i go to the same little mom and pop bakery and the same adorable little old lady (and her children) sell me the biggest black and white cookie. i'm talking almost the size of a plate. it feeds my whole family.
i would lovelovelove a good black and white.
Carrie @ Cottage Cozy March 1, 2010 at 11:06 PM
Oooo...count me in, Rebecca. Those cookies look marvelous. I agree with you...a treat now an then is okay!
Fondly, Carrie
MelindaRD March 1, 2010 at 11:26 PM
Boy am I glad to hear you say as a dietitian you are OK with a small cookie on occasion. I agree, but I find I have some students that feel this is completely unacceptable. I think they are misguided by media and health food craze and still have a lot to learn about the science behind it and the human body. I do not really know of any dietitian that says you can never have a cookie.
Yes, I have had these. I am Jewish and these are popular in Jewish deli's, hence they are all over NYC. I am entering...please...please...please, I have a US address where my mommy lives and I use this.
Ashley March 1, 2010 at 11:27 PM

I've never made these or even eaten them, but they look amazing. I'm always so inspired to see such beautiful food. I'd love to try my hand at these.
