Read HOW TO HEAL A HEART, Chapter 2!
Who wants another sneak peek of HOW TO HEAL A HEART? The next installment in The Friessens family saga will be released this weekend, but you can read Chapter 2 now!
Gabriel Friessen can't shake his growing unrest at the idea that his seemingly perfect life is nothing but a lie he's spent a lifetime running away from.
Even though he loves his wife and step-daughter and has a family who loves him, he suspects that to move forward, he needs to close the door on his past—namely, on the man who is his father, his real father, who turned his back on his mother and left her alone and pregnant in what seemed to be another lifetime, before he was born.
Just getting on with things is no longer as easy as it has been all his life. Andy Friessen adopted him, gave him his name, raised him, and loved him, but part of Gabriel needs to face the man who turned his mother away. His mother has moved on, and his brothers and sisters would never understand, but Gabriel knows that to find the peace he needs, he must confront his biological father before he spirals any further into guilt and anger.
HOW TO HEAL A HEART (The Friessens, Book 32) is available for pre-sale at:

Elizabeth hadn't said anything more to Gabriel the night before, likely because what he told her hadn't made sense. She blinked and opened her eyes. The room was still dark, and the clock flashed 5:55 a.m. as she listened to the shower running.
How many mornings had she woken up alone to Gabriel already showered and dressed, ready to leave for the job site with barely a goodbye, a touch, a kiss? She couldn't remember. Now at least she had an idea of why, but at the same time, she didn't understand where this had come from or why he felt this way.
She listened as he turned the shower off and opened the glass door. She knew he now had to be toweling himself off, and she pictured what he was doing, knowing well his morning routine. The water ran as he brushed his teeth, and then he'd dress and make a quick smoothie in the kitchen before leaving.
The door opened, and he strode out into the darkened room with just a towel riding low on his waist, the light from the bathroom silhouetting him softly. She took in the sculpted outline of the muscles in his back and the kind of ass she could stare at all day. He was hot, moody, and hers.
She reached over and flicked on the bedside light, sitting up, the duvet falling to her waist, feeling the chill of the morning air on her bare arms. She ran her hand over her shoulders, over the spaghetti straps of her pajama top. Gabriel turned, his dark brown hair damp with that messy towel-dried look. The beard he'd started growing a while ago was now neatly trimmed.
"Did I wake you?" he said.
He dropped the towel and stood there naked. He was so damn attractive and fit and strong. He pulled on underwear, then opened a drawer to grab a pair of jeans.
"No, I woke up a bit ago, heard you in the shower. Seems we've been two ships passing in the night for so long. I guess I'm a little bothered still," she said. "No, scratch that. I'm a lot bothered that you didn't tell me what was going on with you. I mean, how long have you been thinking about going to meet your birth father, and why? I don't understand. Andy…"
Andy was his father. Everything about the man had shown her how much he loved Gabriel and all his kids.
"I mean, I've seen Andy with you, with all of you," she said. "If you hadn't told me he wasn't your birth father, I wouldn't have known. He treats you no different than Jeremy, Zac, Sara, or Chelsea. I see the way he looks at you. You're his son in every way, so I don't understand your need to see this man who…"
He sighed. That was his tone as of late: no patience, ready to snap. He pulled on a pair of socks and then a long-sleeved navy Henley. Maybe he was about to blow her off again.
"This has nothing to do with my dad or my mom or my brothers and sisters. Maybe you can't understand."
She leaned forward, feeling the punch in his words. Did he have any idea how he sounded? "There you go again, shutting down. How am I supposed to take that, Gabriel? You said it has nothing to do with me and us, but I say that's absolute bullshit, because it has everything to do with me, and what really pisses me off is that you can't even see how you're treating me. You don't share what you're feeling or thinking, and then you say I can't understand. You're right. I can't understand something when you won't share it. I'm not a fucking mind reader, Gabriel."
She sucked in a breath and fisted her hands, realizing how loud she had been. Yeah, she had all his attention now. At the same time, she listened for Shaunty, hoping she hadn't woken her.
Gabriel was now watching her, his hands on his hips, and he didn't pull his gaze away. "What do you want from me, Elizabeth?"
She tossed back the covers and stepped onto the cold floor, her pajama pants riding low on her hips. She jammed her fingers through her sleep-tousled hair. "Some damn communication. Is that too much to ask? Don't talk to me like that, Gabriel. I'm your wife, yet here you are, ready to run off to the job site and shut down again in this misery, and you're dragging us all down with you. I want to know what you're thinking, what you're feeling, if you're hurt, if you're upset, if something is bothering you. You dropped a bomb on me last night and said this is about your birth father, and you want to hunt him down for an apology. Why?"
He pulled in a breath, and she could feel how closed off he was. Where was her handsome, thoughtful, loving husband who was always trying to fix everything for her? Of course he didn't answer. That was just what he did as of late.
"How would you like it if I started hiding things from you?" she said, and she crossed her arms, not moving any closer to him. He was standing there, rooted to the spot, and she could see how stubborn he was. Was he trying to protect her?
"You know I wouldn't like it," he said. She lifted her brows and expected him to say something else, but she could tell he was thinking. Then he said, "You must think I'm crazy for wanting an apology."
Her heart squeezed. She swallowed. "Never, but I'm hurt that you would think that of me."
He just stared at her, then nodded as if maybe she was getting through to him. She squeezed her crossed arms, pulling in a shallow breath. "My birth father, Tyler Cassidy…his name has been haunting me for a while. I don't know why, maybe because every time I look at my ID, I see Andy's name, but he's not my birth father. My father is the scumbag who walked away from my mother, the guy who closed the door in her face and left her alone and pregnant to figure everything out on her own, living in dive after dive. My mother worked her hands to the bone to put food on the table, a roof over our heads, and we went through hell."
"For how long have you been thinking this way? Why didn't you say anything?"
He lifted his gaze, and for a second she thought he was going to say something about not wanting to bother her, or that she wouldn't understand, or something ridiculous along those lines.
"Months, I guess," he said. "I don't know. Maybe since summer, early fall."
She lowered her arms, fisting her hands again. "That long, huh?" Even she could hear the anger in her tone. It was the middle of winter. "You know what, Gabriel? What really pisses me off is that you've kept this all bottled up for months and said nothing, instead letting me think it was something I did, and you automatically assumed I wouldn't understand, which tells me you think pretty low of me.
"If something is bothering you, I can't know unless you tell me," she continued. "Yeah, I may not understand, hearing now that you're thinking about a father you don't even know. What I see is that you have a family who loves you—a father, Andy, who loves you and would do anything for you. But put that aside. You want an apology from the guy who gave you his genes? Sure, I get it. What I don't get is you keeping it in, hiding it like a secret."
She walked over to him and thumped his chest with her hand. "This, here, is not the place you get to hide everything, what you're thinking, what you're feeling, because that's a sure-fire way to get us right back here, with me thinking I've done something wrong and that you're angry with me. Do you know how much that hurts?"
He shut his eyes, pulled in a breath, rested both his hands on her shoulders, and rubbed. He smelled so good, freshly showered, as he lowered his head and pressed his forehead to hers. He pressed a kiss to her lips and didn't pull back from her morning breath.
"Okay, I get it," he said. "I'm sorry. I'm just tired, disillusioned. I don't understand why now, after all these years, it's bothering me. It makes no sense and isn't logical, and you're right—I have a father, a mother, a family who are everything to me, and I love all of them. At the same time, Elizabeth, they wouldn't understand any of this, as you've said. Andy is my dad, and nothing will take that from him, but there's this piece of something in my heart that's missing, and I can't explain it, even to myself.
"I know my mother may have moved on, forgiven him, and my parents love each other so deeply. They're an inspiration," he said. "But this is about me. I want him to see what he did, to own up to all his mistakes, to admit to me that he was a coward. More than anything, I want him to look me in the eye and explain to me how he could have been such a cowardly asshole, turning his back on not just my mother but me, knowing there was a piece of him out there who looked just like him, who he was responsible for. Is it wrong for me to want to hear him say he was wrong, that he's sorry?"
She stared at Gabriel as he slid his hands around the small of her back. She looped her arms over his shoulders and just stood there in his arms, feeling him. It was in these moments where she felt that flicker, that something, a sign that he was opening his heart and letting her in.
"Okay," was all she said. Then she pulled in another breath. "So have you looked for him? Do you know where he is?"
In that second, she could feel him pulling back.
"Yes…no, sort of," he said. "Before I do, I think I need to talk to my mom, and that's a conversation I don't want to have. You see, it's not just about finding Tyler. That's the easy part. It's about what it would mean for my mom, for my dad."
Gabriel stepped back, and she could feel his angst. She understood what he was saying and why he'd been wrestling with this.
"Okay, I think I get it," she said. "Basically, you've lost sleep and put off something that you feel you need to do because you're worried about how your mom and dad will react."
His eyes weren't the same vivid green as his mom's, as his siblings. Now, as she really looked, she could see they were so different. He didn't answer at first but pulled in a breath, and she started to feel and see the tension he'd been hiding. "Yeah, so you see my dilemma," he said. "How can I be so selfish, wanting to call up a man who likely hasn't given a second thought to me or my mom? Andy has given me more love than I thought was possible. He adopted me, gave me his name, and here I am, feeling as if there's this big hole in me and something is missing. Right, like they would get it. I don't even get it. It will hurt them. They won't understand."
He was so definite, and she wanted to argue with him, wanted to reason with him. At the same time, something had her holding her tongue.
"Whatever you decide, you know I'm in your corner," she said, "but you can't do nothing. You can't bury it. You obviously need to confront this guy. You need to speak with him, even just for closure for yourself. I don't know how your parents would react, but I think, Gabriel, you may not be giving them enough credit. This is about being honest. Whatever you decide, you know I'm behind you and I love you, but ask yourself if you can honestly keep going the way you're going. As you've said, this has been bothering you for a while. If you don't confront all of this and do something, I'm pretty sure, even though I'm no expert on carrying guilt, it will continue to haunt you even while you're trying to bury it. I mean, look how you've been acting. Your family's noticed. I think if you talk to your mom, your dad, you may realize they're a lot more supportive and understanding than you think. As you said, you love your dad, and it's not about him."
Gabriel sighed, leaned in, and kissed her hard and fast, then pulled away. "I've got to go," was all he said, then pulled open the bedroom door, letting the hallway nightlight shine in. When he looked back at her, she wondered if he'd just dismissed everything she'd said.
"You know I love you," he said, and she just stood there, feeling a giant ache in her heart for his angst and seeing now what he was struggling with. She nodded.
"Talk to your mom. Talk to your dad," she said.
He said nothing else at first as he took her in, then pulled in a breath and gestured with his chin toward her. "Have a great day at work."
Then he was gone, leaving her feeling another moment of disconnect. She'd told him just last week that her payroll job at Burky's Discount Food Market was being replaced by a software program, but evidently, he hadn't heard a word she'd said.

First year of Bangladesh Bangabandhu's nation-building challenges
No import of luxury goods
Shamsuddoza Sajen
Fri Apr 24, 2020 12:00 AM Last update on: Thu Apr 23, 2020 11:57 PM
Rashid Ahmed, author of Mukti Sangrame Bangladesh, presenting a copy of his book to Bangabandhu on April 18, 1972.
IMPORT POLICY ANNOUNCED
The country's first import policy for the January-June, 1972 shipping period is announced today. Explaining the salient features of the import policy, Commerce Minister MR Siddiqui says that there will be no import of luxury items for the period. Although the aim of the government is to arrange import through government agencies as far as practicable, it has been decided to allow import in the private sector since the government agencies are not fully equipped to handle all the import requirements and since there is also a need to rehabilitate the trading community engaged in import business. The government has also decided to induct newcomers in the import trade for a number of items. Preference will be given to those newcomers who suffered during the Liberation War including those whose shops and business establishment were damaged. The list of importable items contains essential consumer goods, industrial raw materials, spares and components.
TV CORPORATION ABOLISHED
The government of Bangladesh has decided to abolish Television Corporation. Television will become an attached department of the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting.
FARAKKA WILL BE DISCUSSED
BM Abbas, Chairman of WAPDA and adviser of Prime Minister Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman on power and flood control, says that all aspects of the Farakka Barrage will be discussed at the high-level India-Bangladesh talks beginning in Dhaka on April 26, 1972 to safeguard the interest of Bangladesh. He adds that the interest of Bangladesh with regard to Farakka Barrage is to obtain from the Indian government a guarantee for a minimum quantum of water for use of Bangladesh. Referring to flood control, Abbas emphasises that joint action is essential to lower flood levels in Bangladesh and ensure increased dry weather flow in the rivers which may be possible through construction of storage dams in upper reaches of the major rivers lying in India.
SSC EXAMS BEGIN
The Secondary School Certificate examinations begin throughout Bangladesh today. The examinations were due to commence on April 22, 1971. The Pakistan occupation forces made an abortive attempt to hold the examinations in August 1971 in which a handful of candidates appeared. Results of the mocke of examinations were also published in October that year. However, the Bangladesh government declared the results of that farcical examination void in January 1972 and decided to hold the examinations afresh on the free soil of Bangladesh.

Philo Wasn't Entirely Dependent on Aristeas for his Knowledge of the Translation of the LXX

Another idea. Celsus distinguishes between Jews and Christians because the former were well established:
As the Jews, then, became a peculiar people, and enacted laws in keeping with the customs of their country, and maintain them up to the present time, and observe a mode of worship which, whatever be its nature, is yet derived from their fathers, they act in these respects like other men, because each nation retains its ancestral customs, whatever they are, if they happen to be established among them. And such an arrangement appears to be advantageous, not only because it has occurred to the mind of other nations to decide some things differently, but also because it is a duty to protect what has been established for the public advantage; and also because, in all probability, the various quarters of the earth were from the beginning allotted to different superintending spirits, and were thus allotted among certain governing powers, and in this manner the administration of the world is carried on. And whatever is done among each nation in this way would be rightly done, wherever it was agreeable to the wishes of the superintending powers, while it would be an act of impiety to get rid of the institutions established from the beginning in the various places. We must observe the laws because it is a duty to protect what has been enacted; because of the superintendents distributed among the different parts of the earth, what is done among each nation is rightly done.
Celsus doesn't particularly like the Jews and refers to them in disparaging terms. But could those words be used of a tradition that was founded in 270 CE? I don't think so. If Celsus had run across a story of the Jews having written their text recently in Alexandria he couldn't have written the following either:
History proves the claims to great antiquity put forth by many nations, as the Athenians, and Egyptians, and Arcadians, and Phrygians, who assert that certain individuals have existed among them who sprang from the earth, and who each adduce proofs of these assertions. The Jews, then, leading a grovelling life in some corner of Palestine, and being a wholly uneducated people, who had not heard that these matters had been committed to verse long ago by Hesiod and innumerable other inspired men, wove together some most incredible and insipid stories, viz., that a certain man was formed by the hands of God, and had breathed into him the breath of life. [Genesis 2:7.] Thus fashioned by the hands of God, the man was inflated by breath blown into him. A woman was taken from his side, and God issued certain commands, and a serpent opposed these, and gained a victory over the commandments of God; the serpent counteracted the injunctions given by God to the man. Thus they relate certain old wives' fables, and most impiously represent God as weak at the very beginning of things, and unable to convince and gain over to obedience even a single human being whom he himself had formed.
The more modest among Jews and Christians are ashamed of these things, and endeavor to give them somehow an allegorical signification. They speak, in the next place, of a deluge, and of a monstrous ark, having within it all things, and of a dove and a crow as messengers, falsifying and recklessly altering the story of Deucalion; not expecting, I suppose, that these things would come to light, but imagining that they were inventing stories merely for young children. Altogether absurd, and out of season is the account of the begetting of children, the conspiracies of the brothers, a father's sorrow, the crafty procedure of mothers. God presented his sons with asses, and sheep, and camels! God gave wells also to the righteous. The story of Lot and his daughters is worse than the crimes of Thyestes. The narrative describes the hatred of one brother for another, brothers who treacherously sally out on account of the insult offered to their sister, who had been violated by the son of a king, brothers selling one another, a brother sold, and a father deceived. They tell of the dreams of the chief butler and chief baker, and of Pharaoh, and of the explanation of them, in consequence of which Joseph was taken out of prison in order to be entrusted by Pharaoh with the second place in Egypt.
He who had been sold behaved kindly to his brethren who had sold him, when they were suffering from hunger, and had been sent with their asses to purchase provisions. Joseph made himself known to his brethren; Joseph, who had been sold as a slave, was restored to liberty, and went up with a solemn procession to his father's funeral. [Genesis 50:7.] By whom (Joseph, namely) the illustrious and divine nation of the Jews, after growing up in Egypt to be a multitude of people, was commanded to sojourn somewhere beyond the limits of the kingdom, and to pasture their flocks in districts of no repute.
If the proofs or evidence for the the Pentateuch having been "invented" in Alexandria by Jewish writers having access to the library of Alexandria and the Greek works contained therein, he would certainly have mentioned it in the True Word. If such information was beyond an educated man like Celsus the evidence to support Gmirkin's hypothesis likely didn't exist anywhere.

You are missing the whole point of the Hellenistic provenance thesis.
Besides, your criticisms would equally apply if the Pentateuch were known to have been written in the Persian era and not by Moses in much earlier times.
The Pentateuch itself says its words were written by Moses and by God in the time of Moses. That was its point: to take on the appearance of an ancient text written back in the mists of time.
We see the same ploy being used in the narrative of King Josiah and the discovery of the book of the Law. Many scholars identify this book of the Law with Deuteronomy and that the story of Josiah's discovery of it was invented to make the book sound much older than it really was. The astute modern reader suspects that the Josiah story is written to "prove" that Deuteronomy was very old but it was really written in Josiah's own time.
We have the same with Homeric literature in the non-Jewish world. Someone (or two) in the first century of this era wrote works claiming to be by eyewitnesses to Homer's Trojan war and those accounts were believed by many to be genuine right through to and beyond the Middle Ages.
We find other instances of works claiming to be old, and believed by readers to be old, but that were in fact written in relatively recent times.
If the Pentateuch advertized itself as being written in the Hellenistic era by scribes in Alexandria or anywhere else then its purpose of being a work of divine authority would have been lost.
The point of the Pentateuch is that it appears to be written with the authority of God. How else would anyone expect it to be embraced and believed?
A popular "game" in antiquity was attempting to prove that "your civilization" was the oldest and therefore in some way the "best" -- or that your civilization was directly connected with "the oldest civilization" and took from that oldest culture the "true things" that were true from the beginning. Hence some Jews wrote their history in ways to try to demonstrate that it was the Greeks, including Plato, who learned their smarts from the Jews, the Bible.

That is true. And I acknowledged as much. But Celsus makes clear that even scholars writing while the Library of Alexandria functioned couldn't find evidence (a "library card" where the Seventy borrowed Plato and the rest - joke) of borrowing. FWIW Celsus repeated argues that the Pentateuch borrowed from Egyptian sources likely Moses himself.

Just in case you know something about Celsus that I'm unaware of, could you be more specific, perhaps quote a specific passage you are thinking of? Or is this just your broad interpretation or inference based on your reading of Celsus (who, like the rest of the Graeco-Roman world, assumed that the Books of Moses were centuries older than the Greeks).
Let me note that Aristobulus (150 BCE) catalogued EXTENSIVE evidence of borrowing, involving many many Greek sources. So did the Church Father Eusebius with respect to Plato in specific. But both authors, noting various direct literary parallels between the Pentateuch and Greek sources assumed that the Greeks borrowed from Moses, rather than Moses borrowing from the Greeks, since Moses was supposed to be older than all of Greek literature. It's only in the last 30 years that scholars have raised the possibility that Moses was actually younger than these various related Greek texts.
I know that Celsus (a) assumed "the Jews" didn't have the "(t)rue (w)ord" like other "first" nations but (b) borrowed from Egyptians not the Greeks. When Celsus itemizes Greek borrowings he isolates this to the Christians. The bulk of one of the books of Origen (Book 5 from memory but it might be 6) is "proof" that the Christians borrowed their ideas from Plato. If Celsus knew that the Jews stole all their ideas from Greek writers he would have structured his arguments differently.

Well of course no one in antiquity realized that the Jews and Samaritans stole their ideas from the Greeks, because they all naively believed Moses wrote a thousand years before Plato. It was literally only until 1993 that Lemche raised the possibility that "Moses" wrote in the Hellenistic Era, that is, AFTER Plato.
Of course Celsus might raise the possibility of the Jews borrowing from the Egyptians, because everyone knew the Egyptians were the oldest of all civilizations, older even than Moses. Egypt was already 10,000 years old when Moses writing the Torah in 1400 BC, but the classical Greeks civilization only appears around 700 BC, so with Egypt < Moses < Greeks < Christians of course one might suggest Moses borrowed from the Egyptians (Celsus) and the Greeks borrowed from Moses (Aristobulus/Eusebius) and the Christians borrowed from the Greeks (Celsus). All dictated by simple chronological assumptions about their relative ages. You see my point.
But I will read my Celsus again sometime to follow up on your observation. Thanks.

I am a coward. I've developed a number of theories which people at the forum hate. My one prejudice through everything is that in order for something previously unknown to be rediscovered by modern scholars there would have to be some trace of it in ancient writings. So I spend most of my time digging through boring books.
That doesn't mean in fact everything ancient theory necessarily HAD TO or HAS TO have ancient witnesses it to it. That new "totally unknown" Roman emperor from last days of the Empire is one example. I guess I should have said, IT'S MORE LIKELY to be true that ancient witnesses should attest for an idea. My bad.

It is a simple fact that most ancients had no idea about their remote origins. This applies to the Romans, the Greeks, the Babylonians, ... all of them. How could they know? It is also a simple fact that most educated persons even through late antiquity and early western history had no idea of the facts about their remote origins. Herodotus tried to find out about the origins of the Greeks and could only come up with myths and report them as the best information he had.
It is also a fact that societies generally constructed myths to create stories about their origins or the origins of certain institutions and belief systems. The Bible is just one of many set of writings that contain stories of mythical origins. A renowned modern scholar of ancient Greece and Rome said that most of what was written by the Greeks and Romans about their histories is useless for anyone seriously interested in knowing exactly what happened. The ancient writers abhorred gaps in their knowledge so -- as a rule, not as an exception -- they manufactured stories to fill in the gaps.
As a rule -- not as an exception -- it takes the skills of modern research methods to begin to uncover some bare-bones facts about the origins of various cultures.
Some of us don't mind having our beliefs challenged.
Why do you Neil make everything about you, me, us, modern people? The question that is being discussed is whether the lack of ancient testimonials hurts the credibility of an idea. For instance, to use a modern example, does it hurt the credibility of the idea that "the CIA were behind the JFK assassination" IF (I am not commenting on whether or not there is such evidence or not) there was no testimonials supporting the idea? Similarly the idea that the US government was behind 9/11, that Jews control all the banks, that MI5 killed Princess Diana. If no one came along from the 20th or 21st century to argue on behalf of these ideas and then someone from the 30th century made the case for the first time, would the argument be hurt that no one from the contemporary period argued on behalf of the idea. This can't be "personalized" by you. I am just asking if it hurts or hinders the argument.

No way. It's about learning about the past. It's about "them", not us. It's about learning more about the past with better techniques. Historians do a much better job today of showing us the past than they used to.
Secret Alias wrote: ↑Sun Dec 18, 2022 3:02 pm The question that is being discussed is whether the lack of ancient testimonials hurts the credibility of an idea.
That's kinda twisting what "it's about". Of course we work with "ancient testimonials". They are the bread and butter of the historian. Along with archaeology. But historical researchers have learned the danger of naively accepting those "ancient testimonials" at face value.
We no longer read the book of Exodus and believe that God really came down on Mount Sinai and gave the ten commandments. We have learned to analyse texts in a way that gets us beyond a naive reading.
It's a fact that Herodotus had no idea about the origins of the Greeks. That's not making it about "us". Historians are interested in understanding why Herodotus believed and wrote what he did and what the evidence -- all of it, not just Herdotus's myths -- can tell us about the past.
I have tried to make this point several times before with you but you seem to ignore any discussion about how detectives, historians, investigators of anything go about their work in the most reliable way they can.

Why do YOU personalize everything and throw up this business about me. It has nothing to do with me and there is nothing in what I said that makes it about me. It is only you who is trying to make it about me. I am trying to understand what historians do and how best to understand the past. I referred to a notable modern historian -- Moses I. Finley. Do you disagree with him on how historians should do history? | {

Q: I do not have have access to navigator.mediaDevices when the site is deployed. How do I fix this? I am currently trying to use the WebRTC api and have everything working locally.
When I deploy to surge.sh I lose access to the navigator.mediaDevices object. How can I resolve this?
The following line of code is where I am having trouble with.
const stream = await navigator.mediaDevices.getDisplayMedia({video: {mediaSource: 'screen'}});
I receive the following error message:
TypeError: Cannot read property 'getDisplayMedia' of undefined
A: You need https.
navigator.mediaDevices is only available in SecureContext now in Chrome 74, Firefox 68, and in the spec, which means the object will be missing in insecure contexts (http).
A: As jib answered, navigator.mediaDevices is not available when webserver uses HTTP scheme while not hosted on localhost, but with an exception in chrome/chromium:
$ chromium --unsafely-treat-insecure-origin-as-secure=http://WEBSERVER_FQDN:PORT_NUMBER
--unsafely-treat-insecure-origin-as-secure command line option allows to loosen the restriction. It's useful for developing/debugging when HTTPS is not set up yet or you need to analyze raw unencrypted HTTP messages (i.e. wireshark).

TIP! Cats enjoy getting into small spaces. If your cat gets caught on something wearing a traditional collar they could end up hurting their neck trying to break free.
Beautiful movements, intelligence and many different noises. These are just some of the things you'll get when you decide to get a cat. They need a lot of care, and this article will show you what to do. The following advice will show you how to take great care of your cat. Keep reading!
TIP! Be sure your cat gets regular checkups at the vet. They should go at least once yearly for a check-up, and more often if they need any shots.
Regular vet checkups for your cat are very important. Cats need special shots to keep them from getting sick, and the veterinarian will check your cats overall health. Try to keep the same vet during the life of your pet. This one vet will be aware of the cat's history.
Don't use dog products on your cats ever. Products designed for dogs or other animals could cause a negative reaction from your cat. When it comes to flea products this is particularly true. Your cat can die when exposed to flea prevention items made for dogs. Keep them separated by at least one door for a few hours after treatment.
TIP! Do not allow your cat to stay bored all of the time. Cats need to play and get regular exercise.
An outdoor cat must always wear a tag on its collar. Cats enjoy traveling far away, so a tag can help your cat get back home when lost. Some required information on the tag would be the cat's name and your personal phone number.
TIP! You might find that your cat sleeps all day and wants to be active at night. They get very active at night.
Microchip your cat. Even indoor cats may get out of your home at some point. Tags and collars are great, but if a cat escapes them, there's no guaranteeing they'll make it home safe and sound. Microchips are as tiny as a piece of rice and will tell people where the cat belongs. Many vets and shelters have scanners that can read these chips and since they lie under their skin, they won't get lost.
TIP! Always provide your feline with special attention and affection. They usually offer us warm companionship, and they require the same.
Keep your cat away from boredom. Cats require plenty of exercise. Too frequently this need is overlooked by owners. Cats that are frequently bored may develop OCD, depression or other harmful conditions. Give them plenty of room to exercise and a wide selections of toys. Give them a cat tree to play with.
TIP! Tell your kids what the rules are about your new kitten. Make sure your children know what rooms the cat can go into and what rooms it can't.
Adore your cat! They want the same level of companionship that they give to you as their owner. Cats, just like people, want to feel like a loved part of a family. Socialization is important to them. They want to feel like a contented and satisfied member of the family.
Crystals in the urine, an issue many male cats have, can be avoided with the proper food. Passing such crystals is a painful experience for your cat, and your wallet isn't going to enjoy the vet bill. Choose a cat food with low magnesium content. Read the label. Fish products are usually higher in magnesium.
TIP! Vary your cat's diet just a tiny bit to keep them from being picky. This will ensure that your cat gets a taste of many different foods.
You may get much better prices on medications online. When an emergency strikes, however, you may not have the option of buying medications on the Internet. You can save as much as fifty percent on the stuff you regularly use.
If you get a small kitten for your children, make sure they understand the rules ahead of time. Make sure your children know what rooms the cat can go into and what rooms it can't. If you want to have an indoor cat, explain to your children that they cannot let it go outside. Clearly explaining the rules will limit future mishaps.
TIP! Frequent urination outside the litter box may indicate a visit to the vet is required. This sort of behavior can be caused by urinary tract infections or other, more serious medical issues in your cat.
If you are experiencing an issue with your feline friend, seek advice from others. You won't have the knowledge to handle every cat issue properly, so take advantage of the experiences of others. There are many online forums that discuss cats. Most vets will also be happy to help you with some advice.
TIP! Are you having a hard time getting rid of cat hair? Cats can shed quite a bit; therefore, it's important that you maintain proper grooming habits by brushing them often. If your cat sheds, it's important to brush then frequently.
You should brush your cat very regularly. This keeps the fur well oiled and the skin healthy. It also loosens hair that is about ready to fall out. This helps keep those hairballs from building up in your cat's stomach.
TIP! Make sure you consider where you are going to place the cat's litter box. Many people want it in an out of the way spot.
You cat will not be likely to be a finicky eater if you vary the type of food you are feeding from time to time. By feeding the cat the same kind of food over and over again, they become used to that specific food. Good luck getting it to try something new!
TIP! Place a collar on your cat that has your name, phone number and address. Your indoor pet might even get out if you leave a window open.
Thanks to this article, you should have be a bit more knowledgeable about cats. This will improve your competency as an owner. There is no denying that the quality of your companionship is improved greatly when your cat receives the care it needs. Experiment with these tips and see for yourself.

If you only have a $100 bill, would you break it on the purchase of a fountain soda, or skip the soda altogether?
Chances are, you're more likely to scrutinize your spending if you have a limited amount of cash – rather than easy-to-swipe plastic – in your wallet to last the week, or month.
There are plenty of sound reasons to use debit and credit cards. Plastic is convenient. The cards come with added safety and security features. You can track your spending through online and mobile banking. You might even earn points for each swipe of the card.
But there's a catch. When you use plastic over cash, there's a delay between the purchase and the realization of the budget impact. When a spur-of-the-moment purchase pops into your banking account, you then realize that it left you shorter on cash than you anticipated.
"We call that living on inflated income, when you're spending more than what your income is," Winkelman says.
Paying in cash and plastic can both have their place in a healthy budget. The trick is knowing when to use each type of payment method.
Winkelman advises using credit or debit cards for regular monthly expenses, including bills, gas and groceries.
Cash can be your best budgeting friend, though, when it comes to out-of-the-ordinary purchases, such as entertainment expenses. So this summer, if you're planning a trip to a fair, festival, concert or other destination, consider challenging yourself to stick to an all-cash diet for those events. Leave the plastic at home to take away the "charge it" temptation.
"If you have a specific budget and only take that set amount of cash to use, you know that once it's gone it's gone," Winkelman says.
If you're not sure how much you're spending any given month, consider scheduling a Dupaco Money Makeover.
During those meetings, Winkelman often gives participants a budget worksheet to track their spending for 30 days. Members are instructed to write down every penny they spend – from fountain soda to utility bills – during the month. Much like sticking to an all-cash diet, the worksheet allows members to realistically watch their money dwindle as the month passes. | {

The Astros have scaled their Payroll to miniscule proportions. As of this minute, the players they have signed – that aren't on entry level deals, equals $4.37 MIL, and that is if the club picks up their Team Option on Philip Humber for 2014. The only other player that makes more than an entry level is Jose Altuve at $1.37 MIL in 2014. The club is paying more in dead money to Wandy Rodriguez ($5.5 MIL in 2014) as part of the 2012 Trade worked out between clubs. It has been bantered about that the ownership and management are willing to spend some money in Free Agency for 2014. MLB currently does not have a floor for Team Salary in the current CBA, so why would the club do that until they are ready to compete?
A 3rd straight season with 105+ Losses, and 15 straight losses to finish the 2013 campaign does not give the fans very much to look forward to in 2014.
I am here to tell you that the MLB should be ashamed of letting the Houston Astros field such an incompetent team.
Having said this, I don't personally blame them for tanking it over the last 3 years. They are the other 'extreme' – of what the New York Yankees and LA Dodgers have done payroll wise.
Last season at the end of the year, their highest paid player for the Active Roster was Erik Bedard, making $1.1 MIL.
If they keep picking 1st overall, it is only a matter of time before the team becomes very good, just like the Rays, Nationals, Twins and Pirates have all done in recent times.

On the rubber-chicken circuit, Vice-President George Bush and his wife, Barbara, have plenty of opportunities to exchange knowing winks over their sherbet cups.
When he also let it be known that he intended to speak his mind instead of letting disagreements build up, Mrs. Bush concedes that she was devastated - at first.
The former women's club volunteer who campaigned quietly for her husband when he was running for the US presidency has emerged today as a breezily self-confident luncheon speaker and popular talk-show guest.
In the more than 1,200 days since her husband took office, Mrs. Bush estimates that she's spent 647 days out of the capital, traveling 211/2 times around the world to visit 46 states, 57 countries, and three territories to attend 287 Republican Party events, 231 fund-raisers on behalf of national literacy, and 47 gatherings to encourage volunteerism in America.
Last month saw publication of a slight book she ''co-authored'' with the family's cocker spaniel, C. Fred Bush, about the life of a political, globe-trotting pooch.
When she's asked how else her five grown children would describe her today, Mrs. Bush is characteristically candid.
''In a marriage where one is so willing to take on responsibility and the other is so willing to keep the bathrooms clean, that's the way you get treated, '' she says of their growing-up days.
Mrs. Bush adds that she and her husband keep in touch with their six grandchildren, ages two weeks to seven years, by telephone, by ''out-and-out bribery,'' and thanks to considerate daughters-in-law.
''But seriously,'' she adds, ''I think it's outrageous to talk about a woman for vice-president. I mean, if you can be vice-president, you can be president. | {

Here's something very easy to sew. I started out with a simple tights pattern, but have added options for leggings, shorts, stockings and socks too. There are two pattern pieces for each garment, one for 4-way stretch jersey, and one for 2-way stretch jersey.
They're also no-elastic, so if you don't happen to have anything appropriate and you want a quick pair of tights etc to finish off an outfit, these are for you. If, like me, you like the look of lingerie elastic at the tops of stockings, or around a tights waistband, there is an option to do this contained in the instructions.
And stockings. I used elastic for mine, but you don't have to.
You can also make little shorts, but I've made around 12 items whilst working out this pattern and have run out of steam. I'm sure I'll get around to making some though, they would look cute peeping out from under a short skirt, especially with some stretchy lace around the legs.
Jersey fabric varies in stretch, but I've included a guide to help you sort out your single jersey from your rib jersey; and what properties to look out for in the stretch.
Next, I'm planning a retro 70's style outfit, also for Patience. Looking forward to that!
Ooh we like those socks and I like the sound of the 70s outfit...and a purple velvet hat (I'm remembering my Donny Osmond obsession from the 70s now!!! )My Patience tribe are asking if you could do some hats (yes I know I could knit or crochet them lol!) but they like the idea of a hat or beret and I said if they were good I'd ask.. The leotard pattern is fab - have started the dungarees but have stupid cold and I can't concentrate today so have had to stop!!!
I always associate purple socks with Donny Osmond, lol. I'm attempting to do the outfit in purple, but I have no velvet, so it will be a sort of tie dye effect, I think. I'm definitely doing the Bakersboy hat though, it could also be a beret if you didn't use the peak... which I'll add to the pattern, because I like my things to be versatile.
I know how it is when concentration is lacking! But looking forward to seeing the dungarees when you can manage it. | {

Miss Saigon is possibly my second all time favourite musical; after Wicked of course. I fell in love with all of the music back when I was 16/17 and was devastated when I found out that it wasn't currently in production anywhere. So, when it was revived in 2014 in the West End I jumped at the chance to go and see it. As expected I loved it. Then just a few years later it closed and went on tour. Luckily, I had some insider knowledge and knew a few years ago it would be coming to Sunderland, so I waited patiently; it took a few years to actually materialise.
Before I get into my actual review let me have a little vent. Why have tickets for concerts and theatre gotten so ridiculously expensive?!?! I bought restricted view seats in the upper circle for opening night and they were still £30; and I had zero leg room and a big fat pillar in-between my legs! I think the premium tickets were £61 which doesn't sound that bad until you consider that the theatre is supposed to be a family occasion and that means a family of four would cost almost £250!! Although I must say the show had sold pretty well so there are obviously people willing to pay it, I just think it's disgusting.
Anyway, the show itself… Miss Saigon is a musical based on the opera Madame Butterfly and tells the unexpected love story of Kim; an innocent, 17 year old, Vietnamese war orphan who becomes a stripper in Dreamland so she can make a living, and Chris; an American GI who works for the embassy in Vietnam. They meet at Dreamland and Chris' friend buys Kim for the night as a gift. However, he falls in love with her; it happens fast, and cannot bare to leave her working in Dreamland. He, therefore, plans to take her back to the USA with him. But, like all love stories, it is not plain sailing.
There is very minimal dialogue through the show, it is predominantly singing. Whilst I love that about the show, it maybe isn't a great show to see if you've never been to a musical before as it can be quite hard to keep up. Although I am very familiar with the songs I found the diction quite difficult to understand at times; particularly from Kim, John and the Engineer in the first act. My friend who I went with said that she was managing to keep up with the story but wasn't clear on many of the song lyrics.
Sooha Kim played Kim, she had an absolutely beautiful voice and portrayed both the vulnerable young girl and super protective adult Kim brilliantly, but her performance was heavily accented; whether intentionally or naturally I'm not sure, which made it sometimes difficult to understand her; particularly in the shouter parts of her vocal. Both Chris (Ashley Gilmour) and Ellen (Elena Martin) were portrayed brilliantly, although part of me was still disappointed they didn't live up to their West End equivalents.
One thing that could never be disappointing with Miss Saigon is the strength and impact of the music. It truly has some of the most dramatic songs: I'd Give My Life For You, Movie In My Mind and the Morning of the Dragon, mixed with beautiful romantic music: Sun and Moon, Last Night of the World & The Ceremony. But I will say that I still get really distracted by the new lyrics! And I really miss Ellen's old song Now That I've Seen Her, I just don't think Maybe has the same impact.
I really love this show, but it's definitely not fluffy like other musicals; Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, The Lion King, Mamma Mia etc. It is impactful and has a genuine story to tell. Like I said, I really love it, but if you're not familiar with it, I would probably recommend listening to the soundtrack before you go so the story doesn't get lost in translation; plus nobody will ever compare to Lea Salonga! | {

Phew. I've been slightly twitchy about the fact that the Airtour is looming, and I hadn't done a single XC flight this year. Luckily the drought is over.
Had a lovely flight from Col de Bleyne today, to Saint Andre and part-way back. Cloudbase was fantastic, 3,500m, and at Saint Andre I had a south-westerly pushing me along towards Lac d'Allos. The only thing stopping me from going that way, and it only just stopped me, was that the cloud I was under was beginning to look a little large.
With overdevelopment forecast for the day I decided to be cautious, and to attempt to fly homewards instead. Good call. Within minutes the cloud was looking definitely scary, and the vario was shrieking as I flew to the edge of the lift and dropped out of it, fully expecting something nasty to happen with the wing and amazed that it didn't – just dropped out of it, fully intact, and carried on flying. I love the Swift!
I was already beyond the Saint Andre landing when I was first sure that the cloud was a cu-nim. The white milky spreadout was rapidly growing and extending southwards. My only option was to run south as fast as I could. I speed barred along the Crete de Serres as far as I could go, the back of the hill that the Vauplane ski resort is on.
Hanging on the big ears lines, speed bar on, I willed the glider down. The wind in the valley was strong, which is probably normal here but I was nervous that there could also be a gust front. I misjudged it a bit, setting up at the back of the enormous field over a line of trees, and then coming down vertically over them! Thank heaven for wind shear. At tree height the wind reduced and I made it into the field and touched down gently, bizzarely noticing every grass blade, and very grateful to be down. I was shaking when I rang Marcus, who was already in the area and coming to get me – result!

University-area landlords defend their livelihoods against luxury
University Neighborhood landlords defend their livelihoods against luxury
Property owners say the corporate-run student housing boom hurts their business, and the neighborhood.
Story and Photos by Josh Schafer and
Published: May 17, 2019 | Updated: August 24th, 2020 at 3:08 pm
For decades, houses on Euclid Avenue were sought after by student renters.
In February, Syracuse landlord Ben Tupper still had seven rental properties available for the next school year – the most in 15 years. And that's after he'd sold off 10 homes out of the 60 that were once a part of his university-area rental portfolio. Tupper's 50 properties on and around Euclid Avenue denote him as one of the bigger landlords renting to off-campus juniors, seniors and graduate students. His competition, for years, were the other independent landlords who owned the hundreds of houses in the University neighborhood.
His competition changed when The Marshall and The 505 on Walnut opened in time for the 2018-2019 academic year.
The more than 1,000 beds in those two buildings are responsible for the most recent dip in interest in university neighborhood, local landlords said. At The Marshall, students work out in a gym named after SU basketball coach Jim Boeheim. The 505 boasts a pet-washing station. Both are a part of a large-scale increase in luxury student apartments around Syracuse University. As each building sprouts closer to campus and boasts more extravagant amenities, landlords who own the hundreds of early-20th-century homes on Euclid Avenue and its surrounding blocks must now decide how, or whether, to compete.
"It's real and it's palpable," Tupper said of the effects luxury students housing has on his business. "And it's going to have to have significant impacts on the University neighborhood and landlords."
Students rent houses based on proximity to campus and living conditions. For decades, the living conditions among the century-old houses were similar: worn, sometimes sticky, wood floors, and indifferent paint jobs. Some of the brick homes had structural damage. But even the better maintained homes were made for families circa World War I, not 21st-century college students.
Insert the luxury apartments. With new carpets, personal bathrooms and increased security, the luxury apartments seemed to better match an SU student population that now pays more than $52,000 a year in tuition alone.
"There's so many options for the students," said TJMG Properties' Erica Laquidara, whose company manages approximately 60 properties within and surrounding the University Neighborhood. "And I think even parents seem to like that 'Oh, they're safe in this big building where it's like a hotel and everything's new and included.'"
By March, Laquidara had rented roughly half of her properties for the next school year. The units that are renting fastest are either full houses for a group of friends or single apartments. She's losing the midsized apartments to the new buildings, which offer a lot of two- or four- person suites.
Landlords who own aging homes cannot compete when it comes to amenities. Joshua Podkaminer, who manages six properties in the neighborhood, will install two central air units into homes this year. But what makes his properties desirable are not the add-ons, but the location.
Five of Podkaminers properties are on Euclid or Ostrom avenues, no more than a block from academic buildings, and well inside what competing landlord Tupper refers to as the "inner band." This section is the first six blocks of Euclid Avenue, heading east and away from campus. What Tupper dubbed the "outer band" begins at Maryland Avenue and radiates out even farther from campus, all the way to Westcott Street.
Tupper theorizes that as the supply of off-campus living grows much faster than its demand, the zone of student-rented houses will shrink. That's why he sold 10 properties in the last few years. He wanted to eliminate the houses outside what he viewed the desirable zone. Podkaminer, too, recently sold off a property near Barry Park, about a mile away from campus.
One of Tupper's properties bears the "Rage Against Corporate Housing" slogan.
In the areas geographically competitive to the luxury apartments, the landlords believe their properties will continue to rent because they appeal to a different market than the apartments. On the weekends, the most popular hip hop songs on Spotify bump through walls as students walk from all over campus to attend house parties . The houses' features fireplaces, porches, basements and attics. Some of them, like The Pickle – a green Euclid house known for its parties – come with nicknames.
For students who grew up watching "Animal House," it's a Euclid house they've dreamed of living in, not what Tupper derisively calls a "luxury dorm."
Syracuse senior Maeve Wurtz is completing her second year living in the Euclid neighborhood. "It's more laid back," she said. "All the houses are kind of shitty and run down … the rent's really cheap, so that's nice, but it's just a fun place to live.
"People love the idea of having a big house with all of your friends and having your friends living on the same street as you."
Wurtz and her friends never considered living in the luxury apartments because most of their friends live in the neighborhood, she said. They named their house Flavortown over the summer, and it's now how all their friends refer to it. Flavortown doesn't have 24/7 security, but that also means it doesn't have workers in their living space all the time. There are no granite countertops, but there is an old house with character.
Living in the neighborhood feels less corporate and structured, Wurtz said, and that's what landlords like Tupper appeal too. He's not going to out-luxury the new apartments. So instead he and the other landlords must make it a war they can win. He hands out shirts with the street names (Euclid, Ostrom, Livingston, Ackerman) and Solo cups imprinted on them. Tupper sells his properties as freedom. The floors will be sticky. The house won't be perfect. It's OK to throw a party. That's how college was meant to be.
Though he's one of the biggest landlords in the area, Tupper feels small compared to the out-of state corporations running the apartments. He compared the situation to guerrilla warfare. His pockets aren't as deep, and the tax breaks not as glamorous, so he has to play smarter. He's consolidating properties and constantly reminding renters why they should rent from the local Syracuse graduate.
A Tupper property on Euclid bears an advertisement for the kind of rental he thinks students should be living in. The ad, which could serve as the flag for Tupper and the landlords' army, recalls a 1990s band famous for anti-establishment views.
It reads: "Rage against corporate housing."

It seems the Apple iPad has such a lot of applications that you will hardly maintain it at the ground. In fact, the FAA has authorized the Flying iPad. No, it does not honestly fly like a touch MAV micro-air vehicle, the hen sized UAV, as an alternative US pilots at the moment are allowed to use it within the cockpit in preference to our J-Aides or looking at sectional charts and unfolding and refolding them all of the time. Particularly a problem when you are flying an excessive-overall performance aircraft at high-speed. After all, whilst you are going that rapid you want to be watching for site visitors no longer busy folding maps throughout the flight.
Okay so, you're concerned approximately such silly things as texting while flying proper? Don't be, because the iPad or any tablet for that be counted simplifies things and helps the pilot fly the plane in a safer way. Not long ago, I became discussing this difficulty with a distant places acquaintance, Daniel Persson, who changed into type enough to forward me some online research. Well, it seems that the iPad is perfectly exceptional with the FAA. Indeed, there was a thrilling article within the USA Today, reprinted in Phyorg (dot) on-line information titled "Apple iPads Fuel Flight of Paperless Planes" via Alan Levin, published on March 18, 2011.
The article stated the apparent worries namely; "Safety advocates also are captivated with pill computers, but warn that there could be a disadvantage: extra distractions in the cockpit. "It's a two-sided coin," says National Transportation Safety Board Chairman Debbie Hersman." But what can one anticipate from the bureaucracy which thinks it is entitled to adjust all and sundry such as the tissue paper used in the plane.
Are such onboard personal tech gadgets new to aviation? No, not really, in general aviation, most pilots in recent times use them. They frequently call those digital or digital flight baggage. They sure keep time from trying to turn through sectional charts or Jeppesen Guides. It only makes sense that the iPad pill would be a perfect solution, I wonder what they are going to do with possibly the lesser inferior clones, and that technology in between a clever phone and tablet, or a tablet and a notebook, or an eBook reader and a pill, or a double screen eBook reader (textual content ebook e-reader) and a computer?
Headquartered in Irvine, California, Bamboopink became started out through ladies fairly skilled inside the rings industry, Judy Steele, and Francis Gadbois.
Unlike most rings MLM opportunities, Bamboopink strives to provide pals with excessive-tech options for effective promoting, like virtual trunk shows and cellular apps. But like many jewelry sales applications, buddies are endorsed to promote through earrings parties, a common technique for sharing wares with friends and neighbors.
Bamboopink items are handiest available via vendors, so friends don't compete with boutiques or branch stores. All designs are works by way of earrings fashion designer 'JudeFrances,' with the first line to be launched quickly.
The Big Question – Are Sales Parties Effective?
With earrings investments beginning at $29 and distribution restricted to friends handiest, it seems that Bamboopink might be a very good suit for the ones captivated with style and jewels. But the bigger question is the way to use Bamboopink's application and technologies to create a sustainable, lengthy-time period, and worthwhile enterprise.
Jewelry events were a community marketing strategy for decades. Salesmen and girls host activities inside the homes of buddies and buddies, developing enjoyable surroundings for socializing and buying.
Bamboopink outlines their strategies for friends-and-circle of relatives advertising, however, these methods are particularly outdated. With an international of jewelry-fans at your fingertips via the net, it's important to head beyond your circle of associates and go viral together with your advertising. | {

Disneyland's bathroom pass will make hours-long lines more bearable for new Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge attractions
The wait for the Millennium Falcon ride could reach 6 hours on the new land's opening day.

When Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run opens in Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge at Disneyland the highly anticipated attraction will have hours-long lines and an all-important new feature: A bathroom pass for those who can't wait that long.
The new bathroom pass will be available in the Smugglers Run queue when the ride opens May 31 at the Anaheim theme park and the Rise of the Resistance queue when the second Galaxy's Edge attraction debuts later this year.

Riders waiting in the queue for the Millennium Falcon flight simulator will be able to get a bathroom pass from a Disney employee and rejoin their party at the FastPass merge location in the attraction.
"When you get into these time periods you have to have a good process in place for all the guests," Disneyland vice president Kris Theiler said.
Visitors will enter the Smugglers Run queue through Ohnaka Transport Solutions, a disreputable shipping operation where the Millennium Falcon is docked in Galaxy's Edge. When it opens, the Rise of the Resistance queue will take visitors through cavernous tunnels carved by ancient alien civilizations and Resistance laser torches.
Disney recently debuted the Queue Re-Entry Pass on the Flight of Passage attraction in Pandora: The World of Avatar themed land at Disney's Animal Kingdom in Florida.
The Avatar: Flight of Passage flight simulator generated 6-hour queues when it debuted in May 2017 before settling down to 2- to 3-hour average wait times.
Touring Plans, which uses big data and statistical analysis to calculate daily crowd sizes and ride wait times at theme parks, anticipates visitors could encounter 6-hour waits for Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run on opening day of Galaxy's Edge at Disneyland.
Visitors only need to locate a Disney employee to receive a lanyard with the Queue Re-Entry Pass attached. The passes are good for individual riders or parents with children who can't endure the wait and don't want to lose their spot in line. Relieved riders re-enter the queue through the FastPass line and wait in a holding area for the rest of their party, which must continue to wait in the stand-by line.
To keep visitors entertained, fed and hydrated, Disneyland plans to offer atmosphere talent, mobile app games and snack vending options for those waiting in line for Smugglers Run.
"Star Wars" fans hoping to explore Galaxy's Edge between May 31 and June 23 will need a Disneyland ticket and a free advance reservation providing access to the new 14-acre themed land.

Researchers aim to map China's new smog
Håkan Pleijel&Malin Arnesson
The air quality in China's urban regions is a major health problem. Here, a new type of smog has emerged that has never been seen before. Now, researchers from Gothenburg and their Chinese colleagues will be studying air pollution in Beijing and Hong Kong.
Young and old Chinese people make their way through the city crowds wearing masks to protect them against exhaust fumes and emissions. The images are familiar from our TV screens.
"It's an accurate picture," says Professor Mattias Hallquist from the Department of Cell and Molecular Biology. "According to our researchers, people in the cities keep their children indoors to keep them away from the polluted air."
It has long been known that air pollution is a health hazard, leading to respiratory and vascular diseases and shortening life expectancy. Many of the better quality hotels in China's cities have air filtration technology, and the authorities have now started to realise that something needs to be done. The air quality is even affecting business start-ups in China. The poor quality acts as a deterrent, making it harder to find qualified workers who are prepared to live in the big cities.
"But the conditions in Beijing differ to those in Hong Kong," continues Professor Hallquist. "The cities are governed differently, and the climate is not the same. Beijing has various natural particles in the air that blow in from the desert areas. The climate is colder, and – just like in Gothenburg – they've also experienced problems with inversion, whereby the air pollutants stay at ground level. Hong Kong gets clean air from the sea, but at the smog also blows in from inland areas. Here, emissions from shipping are another significant source of pollution. The climate is subtropical, with heat and high levels of light emissions."
Professor Hallquist has received a framework grant of just over SEK 24 million from the Swedish Research Council for a five-year project to study ways of combating smog in China's urban regions. The project is an initiative from the Gothenburg Atmospheric Science Centre, which Professor Hallquist leads.
"We're experts in photochemical conversion, the formation of particles and ozone in the atmosphere, and within the project we're working with world-leading Chinese researchers."
Around fifty researchers and doctoral students are taking part in the studies in China. Three types of pollutants will be studied: organic particles, soot and ozone. These pollutants interact in a complex manner, and they have an impact on the greenhouse effect and cloud formation, which in turn affect the climate.
The new project involves initiating brand new research into smog. Two types of smog were already known about. Los Angeles suffered from smog in the 1970s due to a combination of increased car traffic and strong sunlight that caused the haze containing organic substances, nitric oxides and ozone. The London smog was a consequence of coal being burnt in the city in the 1950s and 1960s, and the hazy smoke consisted of sulphur dioxide and soot.
"In China, however, we have everything mixed together, making it more complex to understand the effects. Here we have a new kind of smog that we haven't seen before, and this is certainly part of the reason why the Swedish Research Council wants to support this research."
The main aim of the project is to investigate this new type of harmful smog that affects the health of the Chinese people as well as the global climate. The ambition is also to identify measures that the Chinese authorities can take. The project in China is being run by the University of Gothenburg together with Chalmers University of Technology and IVL Swedish Environmental Research Institute.

This Eastchester Musical Prodigy's Composition Is Debuting at Carnegie Hall
17-year-old Benjamin Araujo's work "Nine Portraits for Solo Piano" will be performed January 8 at Carnegie Hall by renowned pianist Irena Portenko.
By Paul Adler
Courtesty of the Music Conservatory of Westchester
There are plenty of superlatives thrown Benjamin Araujo's way, but "musical prodigy" is likely the most common. As the 2017 winner of the Very Young Composers Program at Lincoln Center's David Geffen Hall, Araujo's original orchestral composition "A Postcard from New York City" was performed by The New York Philharmonic that year. Never one to let the grass grow under his feet, on January 8, the 17-year-old Eastchester native will bring his next original composition to the Carnegie Hall stage, entitled "Nine Portraits for Solo Piano."
The work will be performed by esteemed faculty member at the White Plains Music Conservatory of Westchester and Dobbs Ferry native, pianist Irena Portenko, who is also founder of the international music institute and festival Music in the Alps.
We caught up with Araujo, who discussed just what it takes to be among the next generation of great composers.
Please tell us how you first sensed you had some musical talent.
My exposure to classical music began when, as a small child, I frequently visited my grandparents in White Plains. My grandfather, Paul Bergins, had classical music on constantly, especially music by Mozart, which I immediately began to love.
With my mother, I frequently borrowed music scores, and CDs to go along with them, from the Yonkers Will Library and the New Rochelle Library, and followed the scores as I listened to the CDs on our various car trips.
I began to sense my musical talent as a child when I had the opportunity to try out the organ at the Grace Church in White Plains and was able to play most of the first movement of Mozart's 40th Symphony by ear. This was particularly surprising to my parents, my grandparents, and especially Tim Lewis, the organist at the church.
What instruments do you play?
I currently play three instruments, which are piano, trombone, and tuba. Recently I started to teach myself how to play the trumpet and expect to be reasonably capable within several months.
At Eastchester High School, I play the trombone in the full orchestra and jazz band, and the tuba in the concert band. Of these instruments, it is the piano, which I have been playing since I was six years old, that is the most important to me. I felt that it appealed to me because I am able to express different moods depending on what piece I play.
When did you first begin composing music?
I first began composing music after I saw a DVD of the world premiere of an opera based on Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Korean composer Unsuk Chin. Shortly after, when I was in third grade, my grandfather took me to the American premiere of this opera in St. Louis, Missouri, where I met the composer herself. I was enthralled by the entire experience and decided that I also wanted to write music.
After a few early compositions, I joined the Very Young Composers Program at Lincoln Center under Jon Deak, and began to write more substantial works, two of which were performed at David Geffen Hall.
How did you find out your work would be played at the legendary Carnegie Hall?
The upcoming recital at Carnegie Hall will feature pianist Irena Portenko and countertenor Jeffrey Palmer, the theme of which is the Danish concept of "hygge", meaning "cozy", and will feature several songs by Handel, Schubert, Debussy, and others, that demonstrate this.
Irena, who is on the faculty at the Music Conservatory of Westchester, premiered my composition at her Music in the Alps Festival in Austria, in which I participated. The piece was well-received, and she decided to feature it in her upcoming recital, for which I am most grateful. For me, to have my own compositions premiered at such an auspicious venue as Carnegie Hall is a great honor, and very exciting.
The composition(s) that will be featured in this recital are the "Nine Portraits for Piano" that I had written back in 2017. They were written under the tutelage of composer Daron Hagen, who had suggested the idea of writing musical portraits about several people shortly after I began studying with him (which I am continuing to this day). In each movement of the composition, I aim to trying to "paint" a portrait of a specific person based mostly on his/her personality.
The categories of the people I portray are family members, friends, teachers, and historical figures. The influences of many different composers and musical genres, including Stravinsky, Orff, jazz, Schoenberg, or minimalist music by Philip Glass, appear in the various movements.
Composition is my greatest passion, and I want to pursue that as a career. I am starting to research various music schools, one of which I hope to attend after graduation from high school.

Burrow, LSU cap Heisman season, beat Clemson 42-25 for title
NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Joe Burrow threw five touchdown passes, ran for another score and capped one of the greatest seasons in college football history by leading No. 1 LSU to a 42-25 victory against No. 3 Clemson on Monday night to win the national championship.
The small-town Ohio kid turned Louisiana legend delivered the Tigers (15-0) their first national title since 2007 and fourth overall, breaking a few more records along the way in what was already an historic season. The five TD passes and 463 yards passing are the most for a BCS or College Football Playoff title game as are his six total touchdowns.
He became the first major college quarterback to throw 60 touchdown passes in a season as LSU snapped defending national champion Clemson's 29-game winning streak. For the first time in his college career, Clemson star quarterback Trevor Lawrence was on the losing team. The Tigers (14-1) had won his first 25 starts.
But on this night, Lawrence (18 for 37 for 234 yards) was no match for Burrow — the Ohio State transferred who threw all of 16 TD passes last season with LSU.
It was coach Ed Orgeron's vision for LSU when he was promoted from interim coach in 2016. There was plenty of skepticism when LSU tabbed the Cajun who had failed in his first crack at head coach with Mississippi.
Orgeron has proved to be the perfect fit. Just like Burrow.

1,300 ant species currently call Australia home, with over 15,000 species and subspecies existing worldwide occupying every continent including Antarctica, but being especially common within tropical forests where they can make up more than half the total insect population.
Ants look suspiciously like termites and are often confused for termites by nervous homeowners, however ants have thinner waists between the thorax and abdomen, large heads, powerful jaws and elbowed antennae. Ants belong to the Hymenoptera classification which includes bees and wasps were as termites belong to the Blattoidea classification, which includes cockroaches. Therefore termites are actually more closely related to cockroaches than they are to ants.
Ants are notoriously social insects, typically living in structured nest communities, these nests can be located underground, in trees or be ground level mounds. Carpenter ants nest in wood which can be extremely destructive to buildings. Some species, such as army ants, do not have permanent homes and seek food within periods of migration.
Ant colonies usually nest outside, setting up in wall cavities, roofs, under houses, in lawns and tree stumps. Potential entry points include windows, doors, cracks in foundations and holes in external walls. Ants will travel large distances in search of food, usually following trails that have been pre-established and congregating around any potential food source which they than slowly pull apart or join forces to carry back to the nest.
A queen or queens head the ant communities and their only function is to lay thousands of eggs to ensure the survival of the colony. Male ants usually only have one role, which is to mate with the queen, this sometime results in their death. Sterile females are generally the lifeblood of the colony as they are the workers and soldiers they forage for food, work on the nest, care for the young, protect the colony and perform many other duties necessary for the colony to survive.
Different factors determine the gender of each different ant species for example, almost every bulldog ant is born female with only one or two at a time being male whereas fertilised Black House ants become female and unfertilised ants become male.
Ants communicate by utilising chemicals which alert others to danger or lead them towards a promising food source. Ants typically eat nectar, fungus, insects and seeds, but some species, such as the army ants, may prey on small mammals, reptiles and birds. Bulldog ant is very aggressive and attack anything that comes near their nests, Argentine ants are also aggressive but generally only attack other ant species and driving them from their nesting areas.
The Black House/Garden ant is most common ant species, they salvage through anything and are therefore are potentially dangerous, with the most likelihood of any ant species of spreading diseases, such as salmonella, due to their foraging nature. Some ant species such as the Ghost ant can occupy several different nesting sites, whereas other stick together in one large nest. Some ant colonies can reach an astonishing one million plus.
Generally ants don't live inside your house and occupy your same living space, they may use your skirting boards window frames and kitchen bench as a highway to get to some food, but it is more often than not a passing event during the rainy seasons that they come inside your house. Commonly people think that if the ants are seen inside their space, treatment needs to be done inside that area to keep them away, but more often than not chemical treatment is better suited to the outers of the property because ants will just find a way to walkaround your small area treatment. Spraying walls and deeply treating around the gardens and grassed areas is what we believe brings the best success rate. chemical sprays, gels, dusts, and baits can be used for ants, but we find the most successful treatment to spray and chemical dust. Many pest management companies wont guarantee ant issues because ants are so intelligent , but if a client is willing to pay for our services to treat for ants we will gladly guarantee a return services for minimum of 3 months and even more so if we find you are not living in a heavly bushed setting. We often find that our treatment have lasted well over a year, and we rarely eva get a call back reguarding our treatment.
Ants issue explod out of eves as pest treatment forces them out of hiding on the Sunshine Coast. | {

Continued persistence of non-native ascidians in Southern California harbors and marinas (in press)
Download corrected proof (Open Access)
Non-native ascidians have long dominated the artificial structures in southern California's (United States) marinas and harbors. To determine the change in ascidian abundance and community composition over the last several decades, in 2019–2020 we replicated surveys from 1994–2000. We then created nMDS plots using the abundance data collected in the 1994–2000 and 2019–2020 surveys to compare the two groups. Range and average abundance per species were analyzed to determine trends and changes in ascidian community composition. Of the species used for comparison, four are native, three are cryptogenic, and 12 are non-native. As predicted by Lambert and Lambert, non-native species have persisted in southern California; however, ranges and abundances have changed. The only native species found consistently in both sets of surveys, Ascidia ceratodes, remained rare in 2019–2020, with an unchanged average abundance. Several non-native species increased in abundance or remained common. The non-native colonial species Polyandrocarpa zorritensis had the greatest influence on the dissimilarity between the surveys, increasing from rare in 1994–2000 to more common in 2019–2020, and spreading north to Santa Barbara. Several non-native species confined to San Diego in the 1994–2000 surveys have also spread north, such as Botrylloides giganteus and Styela canopus which were found in Santa Barbara in 2019–2020. A formerly unidentified Aplidium sp. has now been identified as the non-native Aplidium accarense. There have also been additional introductions since 2000, including Ascidia cf. virginea and the first report of Ascidiella aspersa in the NE Pacific. The overwhelming trends of the surveys indicate that we will continue to see an increase and persistence of newly introduced non-natives in Southern California marinas, with possible continued northward expansion.

Samsung Names 250 Classrooms as State Finalists in $2 Million* National STEM Contest
RIDGEFIELD PARK, N.J. – November 28, 2018 – Samsung Electronics America, Inc. today announced the 250 state finalists in the 9th annual Samsung Solve for Tomorrow Contest in which teachers and students have a chance to win a share of $2 million* in technology and school supplies. The nationwide competition challenges students in grades 6-12 to apply STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) skills to find creative solutions to real-world issues impacting their local communities.
This year, teachers nationwide submitted creative and strategic proposals to solve current issues, such as school shootings, vaping, lead in water, accessibility and bullying.
"We are again humbled by the passion of classrooms all across the country to create lasting change in their communities," said Ann Woo, Senior Director of Corporate Citizenship at Samsung Electronics America. "The Samsung Solve for Tomorrow contest submissions reflect the pulse of the nation's students as well as a broad geographic span of the country. We look forward to seeing how their STEM projects unfold in the coming months."
Five schools from each state** were selected as state finalists from a pool of more than 2,000 entries nationwide. Each state finalist will receive a Samsung tablet for their classroom and has the opportunity to advance through future phases of the contest to win additional prizes and educational opportunities.
"I love participating in the Samsung Solve for Tomorrow contest because the whole concept of the challenge is helping others and making our world a better place," said Tate Rector, a teacher at Beebe Junior High School in Arkansas, an Arkansas state finalist in this year's competition and a 2017 national finalist. "That is what we hope these young engineers are going to do when they become adults and I think it is awesome that Samsung encourages them to start thinking about it at such a young age."

Samsung Launches the $2 Million Solve for Tomorrow Contest to Challenge Students to Use STEM to Develop Solutions to Issues in their Communities
Teachers at each of the state finalist schools will submit lesson plans detailing how the proposed STEM project will address the identified community issue. The contest will then run in the following phases:
50 state winners will advance to the next phase of the contest and receive $20,000 in technology and supplies, as well as a video kit to help showcase their project in action.
10 national finalists will be selected to travel to the National Finalist Pitch Event in the spring to present their project to a panel of judges. For achieving national finalist status, seven of these schools will receive a $50,000 Samsung technology package while the remaining three will be named national grand prize winners.
The three national grand prize winners will receive $100,000 in classroom technology and supplies.
The general public will elect one Community Choice winner from the pool of national finalists who will be eligible to win an additional $10,000 in Samsung technology.
As part of this year's competition, Samsung also kicked off a collaboration with DonorsChoose.org, the nation's largest fundraising site for public school teachers, to provide funding to teachers that applied for the competition by matching 50 percent of their funding amount, up to $200 per teacher. Even for those classrooms that were not selected as state finalists, Samsung will continue to match donations through the end of 2018. More than $38,000 has been raised to date for schools of all sizes nationwide. From Hawaii to Alaska, and Maine to Key West, the Solve for Tomorrow Contest has a broad reach across the U.S. and supports schools with varying classroom needs. The contest even attracted a submission from a small island school in Wisconsin, which at one point, had a senior class comprised of a single student.
The Samsung Solve for Tomorrow Contest was created to encourage innovation among young students while addressing the technology gap in classrooms across the country. Since its inception in 2010, the contest has provided more than $23 million in technology.

Radiocirurgia é uma forma de tratamento médico que utiliza radiações ionizantes, dirigidas por um sistema de coordenadas espaciais (estereotaxia) para atingir tumores, malignos ou benignos, e malformações arteriovenosas, em regiões profundas do cérebro. Além disso, a radiocirurgia pode ser utilizada na correção de distúrbios funcionais, sendo aplicada a determinadas áreas do cérebro com o objetivo de normalizar sua atividade. A radiação é aplicada externamente, não havendo necessidade de abrir o crânio para alcançar a área a ser tratada.
Etapas do tratamento
Cada paciente é avaliado por uma equipe multidisciplinar formada por radioterapeutas, neurologistas, neurocirurgiões, físicos, radiologistas e oncologistas clínicos, que consideram os possíveis benefícios do procedimento e os riscos envolvidos. Confirmada a indicação, inicia-se o planejamento da radiocirurgia. Nessa etapa, o paciente é submetido à fixação do arco metálico (estereotáxico) em sua cabeça, realizando novos exames de imagem. Com as imagens obtidas, a equipe de radiocirurgia delimita a estrutura a ser tratada (volume-alvo), identificando os tecidos mais sensíveis à radiação, que devem ser evitados. O planejamento define o número de arcos de radiação, a distribuição das doses e as coordenadas para localização do alvo. A radiocirurgia é realizada em seguida. O arco estereotáxico é retirado imediatamente após o procedimento, antes que o paciente retorne ao quarto. No quarto, o paciente é atendido por uma equipe de enfermagem especialmente treinada para acompanhá-lo, recebendo alta no mesmo dia. O paciente pode retomar suas atividades em poucos dias.
Vantagens
A radiocirurgia aplica uma alta dose de radiação na área a ser tratada, poupando em grande parte os tecidos normais do cérebro. Isto é, trata-se de um procedimento que combina alta eficácia e boa tolerabilidade.
Além disso, na radiocirurgia é possível tratar mais de uma lesão no mesmo procedimento.

Scientifically, preborn children are human lives. If you are a human life, you are a human person with human rigts.Each cell of a body has the same DNA code. Babies have their own DNA, different from their mother. Not part of her body! A woman doesn't became a mother when her child leaves at birth!

Children listen to music in their mamas womb.
They like some sounds, they hate others.
while they're with their mothers.
Babes dream and babes awake, babes think and babes observe.
Innocent, lovable, with mind and life and feeling nerves.
see light and recognize their mothers voice.
Infants hearts beat in their mamas womb.
Unique and separate, they are living with their mama in that room.
Babes practice moving in the womb, supported by the waters.
Pure, unique, important, brothers, sisters, sons and daughters.
This tiny humanity, innocent as can be.
Unique, important infant, whether she or he.
Mother does shelter, nourish, hold the young person in her womb.
A mothers tasks are so important to the tiny infant in that room.
Some ideas for helping babies and mothers: Place literature in waiting rooms, buses, public washrooms. Display posters and leaflets at home, office, shop, street displays. Bumper stickers. Make sure the public know about the material, housing, and other help for pre birth mothers, provided by pro life groups. Wearing pro life symbols can provoke conversations. Write letters to editors. Be short, polite, accurate, memorable. Have a letter writing party. Support mothers of preborn babies materially and emotionally.Find if your doctor is involved with killing. If so, leave them. If they plan to rent the clinic to abortionists, tell them about groups who put photos of victims by abortion places. Talk to teachers. How can they be fair if they never heard the pro life case? Give literature. Be polite.Use creative talents to celebrate the life of preborn children. Make cards for parents or grandparents of preborn or born babies, posters, poems, music, jewelry, clothes, etc. Pictures of victims. People need to know what abortion really is. Sadly, if you don't like of splatter movies for entertainment, people complain of censorship. Try to save lives by telling the truth, more complaints by pro censorship pro aborts! People have a right to know, and have been grateful for being told. Many lives have been saved. Many have become pro life because of it. You can't destroy evil by hiding it.
Say "mothers" or "with child", not just "mothers to be" or "pregnant". Research charities before giving. Some organisations that seem to be good have been hijacked by pro - kill agenda. Truthmagazine.jimdo.com has some interesting ideas. | {

How to Love: #Disneyormusicvideo (Day 2)
In the beginning of my Day 1 blog, I explained the phrase, "Screw the shoot – let's go to Disneyland," shared by Dave and I, and definitely desired by all three of us. It's the type of thing you joke about doing (putting aside what you actually have to do and indulging in an irrational decision) and play out in your head how much fun it'd be to attempt, but don't actually try because you're a realistic and rational human being. We'll come back to that later.
The day began with meeting the incredibly helpful Daniel for some Chick-Fil-A breakfast (you have to start off a full day right) and going over camera details and instructions on how we should get footage to him. Daniel ended up being the nicest guy and had no ulterior motive to helping us out, other than just being a friend to some strangers from out of town with the same passions. We were blessed to have the opportunity to meet him and become friends with him.
Driving was the name of the game for Day 2. A lot of the film called for driving scenes, so we drove around Los Angeles for several hours, trying to get B-Roll of the city as well as shots with the city in the backdrop of myself or Jessica and myself in the car. If you are familiar with Los Angeles, you know how much driving plays a part in life over there, so you can imagine how much I was over driving by the end of our stay. We collected some solid film and turned the car around toward Glendora, gearing up for the evening's group scene.
After Jessica was dropped off, we went to In-N-Out to talk out the film plan (that being our second time at In-N-Out in two days). The plan was laid out as the following: everyone was going to rendezvous with us at the bottom of the mountain at 5:45, leaving there closer to 6:00, and beginning our short jaunt from the parking spots to the location. That would leave us at least thirty minutes before sunset (at 7:08), and we could get some great footage at the golden hour. That was the plan.
Andreos, Dave, and I waited at the rendezvous spot for 15 minutes before discovering that traffic had waylaid a few extras. That's okay, we thought – we built in that buffer of time for things like that. So the three of us headed up and sent our location to the rest of the folks so they would know where to park.
After leaving thirty minutes passed the projected departure time, Jessica and the crew finally made it up the mountain, reaching more questions than points on a map. After numerous calls and confused u-turns, they finally made it to the turnoff, and the sun was almost completely behind the hills. We had to adapt quickly, and transformed the vision of a scene at dusk to that of moonlight. Portable lights we packed along for the trip were well worth lugging around at this point.
Originally I had envisioned a group of people partying near an overlook of the city, playing around a fire for this scene. The overlook was incredible – the lights of the city shone like their own electric stars beneath the sky. Being in Southern California presented other complications when it came to the fire we wanted to create. There was a drought at this time, so we had to be inventive around the construction of the fire for this scene. In order to keep my government record unmarred, you'll have to see the video for more details.
After a lot of stress, work, and my terrible acting, we finished the scene and called it a wrap. The shots didn't go quite the way we had planned, but we were pleased with what we were able to accomplish and climbed down the hill with starlit smiles on our faces.
Driving down Glendora hills, we ran into Foothill Boulevard, and a rush of nostalgia washed over me with the sweet aroma of donuts. I lived just south of Glendora for two years during college, and facing Foothill head-on brought to mind my youthful indulgence: Donut Man.
Dave, Andreos and I rushed over to the tiny hut that holds the sweetest of treats, and jumped into the line that consumed the parking lot. While in line, Dave – being himself – struck up a conversation with the students in front of us, discovering that one of them was an employee at Disneyland. Dave and I both gave a sidelong look at each other and returned to the conversation. By the time we had retrieved our heavenly pastries, we began to part ways and the Disney employee, Nick, told us, "Hey, this is random, but you guys are really cool, and I know you're only in town for a few days, but if you have time and want to come to Disneyland for free, you're welcome to use my guest passes."
Did you just read that? Because when I heard that sentence from Nick, I had to ask him to repeat it. I shook my head in disbelief and started laughing with Dave, as we both remembered one of our first conversations on the trip: "Screw the video – let's just go to Disneyland!" That idea had never been realistic until this moment. We couldn't believe it, and both set our donuts aside so we could properly laugh at the irony of the moment.
The day was a success: the three of us were full of sweets and heading back to Northridge for the night. The next day held Oceanside, and, potentially, a day at Disney.

Catching Up in Portland
Life doesn't seem to care how old you are – it throws twists, turns, challenges, and joys whether you are 25, 45, or 65.
While in Portland, I had the pleasure of speaking with a good friend of mine who toured with a band for fifteen or twenty years, stopped for a bit to raise a family, and is now a book buyer at Powell's in Beaverton. Greg has lived in a music-filled world his whole live, moving years ago from California to a small town in Oregon to focus on family and get into songwriting, then relocating to Portland when his kids outgrew their parents' home and he could pursue his guitar craft in a new way. Embarking on an educational journey, Greg dove into higher education a few years ago, aiming at a music degree, while honing his guitar playing with dreams of another small ensemble to be created at some point. I got to have an incredible conversation with Greg about life and its unexpected turns and surprises.
Greg and I talked a lot about Nashville, how my experience has been, and how much I miss Portland. He has been to Nashville multiple times on tour in the years with his band, and knows of the immense country scene (which I try to ignore as much as possible) and the calibre of players in the city. The thing that struck me most were his thoughts on enjoying life, and choosing not to strive in vain. There is a difference between selfishly focused striving, which brings little long-term fulfillment, and striving toward a goal without losing sight of those around you. The community I've found myself in is incredibly unique, unlike any I've experienced. My reliability on this community gleans both challenges and solutions. It's an incredible feeling to belong to a group of people that is diverse and unbreakable. Having friends you can go to at any time with any need or celebration is a security that is very rare. That security piece also creates a comfort that sometimes keeps me from working as hard as I should. I am comfortable and satisfied in the context of this community, so the need for something more wanes, and it becomes even more paramount to stay focused on what I want to accomplish in life, which is where the striving comes in.
Greg also spoke about his goal reorientation. The last five years or so, he's focused on becoming the best guitar player he can be, in hopes to find a few others with those chops under their belts and create an ensemble with them. In his progress towards this goal, Greg has discovered that he won't reach the level he's aiming at for a long time, which, at his age, he's deemed is a potentially unworthy use of his time. In our discussion, Greg uncovered a somewhat recent realization, which is a return to what comes naturally for him: songwriting. He worked very diligently at the singer/songwriter route while raising his kids, without much return. Despite his goals ultimately being unmet, songwriting fulfilled him and was an outlet that made sense and came innately. It reminded me how important it is to utilize the strengths we have and try to stay centered around what we do best. When we reach outside of what we're built to do, it aids us in improving character, but drains us and leaves us wanting. Balance is key.
"Are you enjoying it down there?" Greg ultimately asked me. And isn't that the important thing?
Life is challenging now, working full-time at my day job, writing at night, emailing, networking, developing my website on my days off…it's a grind. But the striving is worth the moments of joy, the small successes, and the progress toward my musical goals. Greg also understands the balance of enjoying life and taking time to acknowledge the blessings we have, while trying to answer that other side of the brain that asks, "Is there more to life? What do I do with these feelings, thoughts, and creativity?" Life is good, and it's a huge blessing to learn from someone who has experienced more life than I have, but is still wrestling with the essential questions of life. I guess we are all doing the same in one way or another.

Nashville visit
I returned from Nashville one week ago with excitement, anticipation, and hope, leaving (most of) my anxiety at outstanding restaurants like The Wild Cow, PM, and The Pharmacy.
For those of you who are jumping in on this text with no knowledge of what I'm talking about, let me fill you in on the last six months:
I published Let Go and Forget, my first full-length album, in July, 2013.
My job as Interim Worship Pastor came to its fulfillment on November 10 as a new pastor was hired and they threw a killer sendoff for me (of which I'm still tearfully reminiscing).
As I'm now a "free" or "unshackled" (AKA unemployed) musician, I'm planning to move to Nashville, Tennessee, with my brother and two friends in February.
I visited Nashville from November 11-15 and left my heart there.
Nashville is surprisingly a lot like Portland, which I'm stoked about. Built on a river, filled with coffee shops, and home to eclectic and delicious food choices. Even better than these things, I was able to meet dozens of people who are genuinely kind and sincerely friendly.
My hostess typified what my experience was like. Whitney is the niece of my former boss/pastor, and told me I could crash at her house while I'm scouting out the city. As she picked me up from the airport (which she offered to do), she told me: 1) she would be staying in her roommate's room, letting me stay in her room, saving me from a couch, and 2) I would be driving her to work on two of the days she was scheduled, so that I could take her car around the city and check stuff out. She wouldn't budge on these points despite my protests, and that was the type of mi casa es su casa attitude that everyone had.
Whitney is a Pro Nashvillian. She introduced me to a bunch of her friends from Ethos church, and I got to sit in on some of their studio time as they recorded a Worship EP for their church to take home in the Christmas season. These were the nicest people, all giving up their free time to volunteer on this album. Tight.
The next day I met this rad guy named Ben. He lives in a loft owned by his former roommate's parents (…okay, yeah that makes sense). He has been in bands and toured and tons of fun stuff, but now he engineers/writes/produces pop music with various artists. Apparently he lives next door to the producer for Rascal Flatts. No bigs. Also tight.
"Coffee snob" is not uncommonly used to describe me (mostly by my mother). Quality beans combined with a quality pour-over are ingredients to make Jared happy. I found such a place at both Frothy Monkey and Crema. Both had very Portland-ish vibes (a good start) and pretty upstanding coffee. Coffee + Sunset = extra good.
BRINGING HOME TO THE SOUTH
On the last day of my visit, I tracked down the nearest forest park (about 15 minutes out of town) and took a little walk on a trail that prohibited picnics, pets, food, and any sort of diversion from the trail. Not a lot like Portland in that regard…but it was nice to be back in the middle of a forest.
OFFICIAL SYNOPSIS
Nashville is pretty stinkin' rad. I met some awesome people who are very genuine and friendly, saw some great areas that we can rent a house in, and a myriad of restaurants to satisfy my inner foodie. Heck, I even found a group of friends to play Settlers of Catan with me…I think that aided in taking away any amount of doubt or anxiety in me :)
Looks like the move to Tennessee will take place sometime between the end of January and beginning of February! Money, weather, and house availability will play into the timing. The other guys (Joel Evers, Joseph Starr, and Kevin Howard) are all getting pumped for the move. Check back soon for the next update!

Quilbúdio () foi um indivíduo oriundo da confederação dos antas que esteve ativo na fronteira com o Império Bizantino no .
Vida
Em 545/546, um dos antas, mantido cativo pelos esclavenos, alegou ser o general Quilbúdio. Como os antas e esclavenos haviam temporariamente acordado a paz no período, o impostor passou para as mãos de outro membro dos antas. Um cativo bizantino de mesmo nome, persuadiu seus mestres que seu companheiro escravo era o verdadeiro Quilbúdio. Ele também tentou convencer seu mestre a devolver o cativo para o imperador Justiniano, o que requeria uma jornada através do Império Bizantino. Quando esteve entre seu povo, o impostor revelou sua real identidade e tentou reclamar o estatuto de liberto. Seus compatriotas viram nele maior utilidade como Quilbúdio em vez de um deles de modo que pressionaram-o a prosseguir com a mentira.
Aproximadamente pela mesma época, Justiniano começou a negociar com os antas. Ele ofereceu-lhes a antiga cidade de Turris, "ao norte do rio Íster" (Danúbio), e suas proximidades. A cidade foi alegadamente construída por Trajano , mas estava deserta neste momento. Aos antas seria permitido que se assentassem nesta área e receberiam pagamento para guardarem as fronteiras bizantinas contra os hunos, efetivamente adquirindo o estatuto de federados. Eles aceitariam caso "Quilbúdio" fosse restaurado a seu ofício, uma clara tentativa de elevar seu homem ao posto de mestre dos soldados da Trácia. A conspiração foi revelada pelo general bizantino Narses, que capturou Quilbúdio e levou-o para Constantinopla. Seu destino subsequente é desconhecido. Independente de sua real identidade, ele relatadamente falava latim fluentemente.

What is the point of this guideline?
"Netiquette" is a clever term coined by The Committee of Cool Internet Terms. It means "follow these rules or be incessantly flamed!" Ok, I don't really know who came up with the term, but it basically means "proper etiquette rules for use in cyberspace."
Imagine this: You are an expert poker player. You decide to invite some friends over to play every Friday night. Each of you has many different forms of poker you like to play, and after a few nights, you have all learned many different games. You have fun. You eat Doritos and drink cheap beer. Life is good.
One evening, your buddy Clyde tells you his cousin wants to play. You are reluctant, but Clyde reminds you of the time he saved your life when you were choking on a chip (Dorito, not poker), and you give in. Wimp.
The cousin, Phil, shows up next Friday night, sits down to play, and you announce the first game: Texas Hold'em! Phil smiles at you and asks, "how do you play Texas Hold'em?" You contemplate throwing your beer at him, but realize just in time that it would be a terrible waste of beer. So, instead, you explain the rules of the game. Fortunately, he seems to get it, and you play on.
Now -- wouldn't it be REALLY cool if you had all the rules of the games printed out so that Phil could have read them before joining your poker table? There is -- Hoyle's Book of Card Games. Well... consider this guide your Hoyle's Rules of Netiquette. Sure, you won't win any money, and you won't learn how to bluff, but hopefully after reading this you will be able to post messages without incurring the wrath of the PHP Gods.
There are many things you can do to make your and everyone's experience on the board more enjoyable. You could try posting some nudie pics, but it probably won't get past the board admins. So instead, here is a list of things to consider. I have pulled this list directly from the official Netiquette Guidelines, RFC 1855. I have only included those that apply to this board. For the full list, see the RFC.
In the interest of saving space, I am dropping the RFC Netiquette guidelines from this post. They are still relevant, however -- please take a look at them here.
Yeah, I know... exciting stuff, huh?
There are a few things to consider that pertain more specifically to this PHP board. I will list them here; this list may grow over time.
Don't send emails or instant messages to members of the board asking for help. That is the equivalent of a salesman calling up in the middle of dinner to sell you a vacuum cleaner. It's rude, and you will NOT get a favorable response. If you want help, that's what the forums are for.
When submitting a problem, state the problem in your subject. Most people will skip over subjects that say "Help me please" or "Please read this!!!!!" If you want help, you need to catch their eye with a specific statement, like "How do I create multiple page searches?"
Having a problem with your code? Include a snippet, and be sure to wrap it in [code=php]...[/code] tags. This makes it MUCH easier to read! Try to minimize the amount of code that has to be waded through. Try to remove parts with the aim of reducing the script to the smallest piece of code that still exhibits the problem. As you snip away parts of your code, you may discover what the problem is yourself, and not have to post your question after all!
Be sure to read and try to understand the error messages. Yes, some of them are somewhat obscure, esoteric and sometimes downright surreal, but they do convey meaning. If it says that a file or directory could not be found, then chances are that a file or directory could not be found.
When requesting help, please be as specific as possible. Don't just say "This code isn't working" and list your PHP code. Nobody has time to read through your entire code list and determine where there might be a problem. Be sure to include the error messages you are receiving, and let them know what you have attempted to do to fix the problem. There's nothing more frustrating than composing a message telling you to try something, only to have you come back and say "I already tried that. It didn't work."
Be accurate! One wrong character can cause code to not work correctly. Make sure the code you are submitting for review is EXACTLY the code you are having trouble with. Cut and paste it -- don't attempt to retype it. Most likely, you will not type it exactly, and if someone tries to tell you "there's your problem, you forgot the semi-colon," the last thing he wants to hear is, "oh, that's there, I just forgot to put in there when I typed it in my message."
EDIT your posts! This forum allows you to edit your posts for a while after you've made them. That is how I keep adding content to this guideline. If you see a mistake, or have something to add, simply edit your post and add it. It is very frustrating to read someone's post about a problem, only to have to go through 5 more posts that basically say "oops, there should have been a semicolon at the end of line 14." Edit your original post and PUT the semicolon in. There's nothing wrong with putting "EDIT: I added a flurg to the blatt on line 42 of my code" at the end of your post.
If you forget the above rule and double post, do NOT post "oops, I double posted -- sorry." That just adds to the mess.
Fill your mouth with cheezits and whistle your National Anthem. Ok, just checking to make sure you are paying attention.
Please do not "bump" your posts. For the uninitiated, a "bump" is a simple post that says "bump" in the subject or body, and doesn't contribute any additional value to the thread. It is done for the sole purpose of making the thread show up at the top of the forum list. If your thread has significant content, someone will find it with a search. You do NOT need to bump it up to the top to force people to read it over and over. It is quite irritating to open a thread that has new posts added only to find out that it has been bumped and has no new important info.
Don't crosspost, or worse, shotgun. Crossposting is the practice of posting the same question in more than one forum. Shotgunning is the same thing, but posted in almost every forum to maximize the number of people reading the post. Most people here read all of the forums, and don't want to read the same questions over and over. If you have a specific question, put it in the most relevant forum. If you can't decide which forum is most relevant, put it in the General Help forum.
DO NOT send a member of the forum an IM asking them for help. The forums are the places to ask for help with issues. Sending an IM to a member is no better than a telemarketer calling you at dinnertime. It's rude, and unwelcome. Don't do it. Only send IM's when invited.
Information such as how to search the board, and how to send email to users.
That's about it. Feel free to add your comments, or discuss it here.
You've definitely got a way with words!
I noticed a few people don't think a guide like this is useful. I would love to get some feedback, either positive or negative, and perhaps some suggestions for improvement.
Hey, what's that over there?!
and in general i believe their is nothing wrong when u end a thread by thanking some1 and letting them know their solution worked.
They are guide lines not rules, so u can try live by em as good as possible and if u do it will make reading forums alot easier, because u cut the content to the point.
as long it sticks to the poster who is replying with these kind of things(replying on other replies that is), it is ok.. at least as far as i understand it.
Very interesting Buzzly! As someone relatively new to boards, i found it interesting - and luckily i have been posting within the guidelines you so elegantly outlined.
As good as it all sounds your likely not too see anyone actually following that at all..
Sorry. But its my opinion..
Most nOObies dont look at stickied threads or Rules nor do they even search.. Poor nOOb they may find an answer without that hassle of waiting..
But in our age.. No one wants to search nor read posts that probably should be read.. but are too lazy..
I don't think it's a matter of laziness -- it's just a question of education. When you call a helpdesk, do you go through their automated service to see if your problem has been documented, or do you immediately hit "0" to get to an operator?
People may not know these guidelines. That's why it's in the Newbie forum, and stuck at the top. Hopefully, a few will read it, and learn from it.
Now that we have these guidelines, if a newbie doesn't follow them properly, we can simply give them a link to this thread, rather than flame them and insult them.
As Martha would say... "that's a good thing."
The Cheetos thing was funny, indeed.
Also, I thank you for the effort involved...you could be truthful though, and say whether or not it was highly original or dubious IP theft, heh, heh.
What key should the Anthem be whistled in, legally speaking?
...you could be truthful though, and say whether or not it was highly original or dubious IP theft, heh, heh.
Not sure if they would know what to do with it, but that's why I included the pertinent part in my post. If they are interested in reading the whole thing, that's what the link is for.
I don't know what you mean about "dubious IP theft..." The article itself was totally original -- I wrote it right here on this forum. The only "stolen" part is the bullet points, which of course I give credit to the RFC.
- or [CODE]-tags. Now thats not very pleasant to read, is it?
I totally agree with you cahva! it's much easier to help people when you can see their code better!
I have created a section of the guideline for ideas specific to this board. I have included your suggestion for PHP tags. If you have any other suggestions, let me know, and I'll consider putting them into the guidelines.
The only "stolen" part is the bullet points, which of course I give credit to the RFC.
I have pulled this list directly from the official <link>Netiquette Guidelines, RFC 1855.</> I have only included those that apply to this board. For the full list, see the RFC.
Doh! Excuse, please sir. I'm beginning to realize just how much Google has affected my reading comprehension habits. Certainly the bullet information was familiar; I sincerely apologize for any irritation caused by my earlier post.
... I sincerely apologize for any irritation caused by my earlier post.
Besides, I asked for whistling, not a capella voices. | {

Q: Method delete in chart sheet I have a VBA application in an Excel Workbook. At the end of the sub I need to delete a chart. In old version of Excel (2013), method "delete" of chart sheet works perfectly. In version 2019 now this method is not supported and I can't find anything on Microsoft website.
Could you help me if exist new method to delete chart sheets?
This is the piece of code at the end of sub
For Each sht In Workbooks(Nam).Sheets
If sht.name <> "Config" Then
Workbooks(Nam).Sheets(sht.name).Delete
End If
Next
When is selected the chart sheet I receive this error:
Run-time errore '1004': Error in method Delete of Chart class
Thanks
A: It sounds as though you just need to delete the chart sheets from the workbook. I agree that your code looks as though it would, but here is a slightly different approach that may work in your environment.
VBA has three collections for working with sheets in a workbook. Sheets is a collection of all sheets regardless if they are worksheets or chart sheets. Worksheets is the collection of all worksheets. Charts is the collection of all charts. The code below deletes all chart sheets from the current workbook.
Sub delete_chart_sheets()
Dim chrt As Chart
Dim nam As String
nam = ThisWorkbook.Name
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
For Each chrt In Workbooks(nam).Charts
chrt.Delete
Next
End Sub
A: I have found the issue.
Before the delete of the sheets, I call a function for protect all sheets. Removing this function, now it's works perfectly :D
Thanks to all

Twitter delivers its users' phone numbers to advertisers
We have always believed and of course we continue to believe that the dual authentication system is safer for the security of our data and also for the protection of our online accounts.
After what has happened we realize that two-factor authentication is not as good a thing as we thought. It will jeopardize our privacy and our ability to choose freely on the Internet.
This article will also interest you: The CEO of Twitter and his hacked account. What is the substance of the story?
Recently it was communicated by TechRadar precisely on October 9, 2019 that the social network Twitter had authorized access to advertisers to use phone numbers of its users. In addition to a telephone number, it could be that the social network also allowed these same advertisers to recover the registered email addresses.
As if to apologize or defend itself, Twitter claimed that this was due to a "recently discovered" security flaw, which concerned its method of protecting the personal data of users who activated dual authentication. As we know, this last process doubles its security of access by sending code to the address by the user. This second code comes after the use of the first passcode. This of course makes it difficult to hack accounts from a foreign terminal.
It is known that this feature has existed since 2017 on Twitter, and apparently everyone who has provided their phone number to take advantage of this protection will be affected by this likely security flaw. And we know that the social network also often uses this identification process to ensure that the account is not managed by a robot. Clearly it was a method that benefits both sides. So far, of course. Unfortunately, "This data may have been inadvertently used for advertising purposes," the social network finally acknowledged in a statement. Apparently, this flaw was used to create several advertising programs for Twitter's partners and also to set up new targeted audiences.
Security flaw or deliberate action?
For many observers, the social network would have voluntary procured to its advertisers a list not to say lists containing marketing data essentially from phone number and email address. « We're really sorry that it happened, and we're taking measures to ensure that such an error is not repeated (…) we we do not know exactly how many people are affected (…) In an effort to be transparent, we want everyone to know ».
Twitter nevertheless wanted to confirm that no users' personal data has only been shared to third parties. That any use that has been made with personal information that has leaked, has only been used for activities organized on its platform.
However, this is a real violation of users' privacy. This kind of misdirecting is not an isolated fact. This is becoming practically a habit among the digital giants. One wonders what punishment Twitter will be sentenced to because such levity should not go unpunished.

Max Richard Wockatz (* 25. September 1898 in Rothnaußlitz; † in Brandenburg an der Havel) war ein deutscher Politiker (NSDAP).
Leben und Wirken
Frühe Jahre und Erster Weltkrieg
Wockatz besuchte von 1905 bis 1913 die Volksschule in Rothnaußlitz. Von 1914 bis 1915 wurde er an der landwirtschaftlichen Lehranstalt Bautzen ausgebildet. Anschließend arbeitete er einige Monate als landwirtschaftlicher Beamter in der Landeshauptmannschaft Bautzen beim Ökonomierat Klahre in Preititz.
Am 14. Dezember 1916 wurde Wockatz zum Feld-Artillerie-Regiment 64 in Pirna einberufen und am 21. März 1917 zum Feld-Artillerie-Regiment 28 nach Bautzen versetzt, bevor er am 17. Oktober 1917 mit dem Feld-Artillerie-Regiment 48 an die Front zog. Während des Krieges wurde Wockatz mit dem Eisernen Kreuz II. Klasse und der Bronzene Friedrich-August-Medaille ausgezeichnet. Am 15. September 1919 wurde er als Unteroffizier entlassen.
Weimarer Republik und NS-Zeit
Nach seiner Rückkehr aus dem Krieg verdiente Wockatz seinen Lebensunterhalt als Gutsinspektor in Gersdorf im Kreis Görlitz, Nieder Horka im Kreis Rothenburg sowie in Arnsdorf und Hilbersdorf im Kreis Görlitz.
In den 1920er Jahren trat Wockatz in die NSDAP ein. Am 1. August 1931 übernahm er als Parteifunktionär den Posten des Ortsgruppenleiter der NSDAP-Obergruppe Görlitz. Im Mai 1932 übernahm er in Personalunion die Bezirksleitung der NSDAP in der Oberlausitz, die die Kreise Hoyerswerda, Rothenburg, Görlitz und Lauban umfasste. Durch Um- bzw. Neuorganisationen der Parteistruktur wurde Wockatz am 1. August 1932 zum Kreisleiter des Stadtkreises Görlitz. Diesen Posten hatte er knapp zwei Jahre lang, bis zum 25. Mai 1934, inne.
Bei der Reichstagswahl im Juli 1932 wurde Wockatz als Kandidat der NSDAP für den Wahlkreis 8 (Liegnitz) in den Reichstag gewählt. Er gehörte dem Reichstag anschließend knapp dreizehn Jahre lang zum Ende der NS-Herrschaft im Mai 1945 an. Sein Mandat wurde in dieser Zeit fünf Mal – bei den Reichstagswahlen vom November 1932, März 1933, November 1933, März 1936 und Mai 1938 – bestätigt. Das wichtigste parlamentarische Ereignis, an dem Wockatz während seiner Abgeordnetenzeit beteiligt war, war die Verabschiedung des Ermächtigungsgesetzes im März 1933, das die rechtliche Grundlage für die Errichtung der NS-Diktatur bildete und das unter anderem auch mit seiner Stimme beschlossen wurde.
Am 25. Mai 1934 wurde Wockatz zum Kreisleiter des Kreises Hoyerswerda ernannt.

Hi! My name is Stephanie Zonis, and welcome to the June (Father's Day), 1999 edition of "I Love Chocolate." My Dad is a combination of general fixer-upper, financial wizard, master of driving directions, and appreciator of desserts, and I'd like to thank him for all of his support and advice over the years. Since my Father is fond of good ice cream, that's what the column is about this month; making your own ice cream, or using a good-quality brand for some easier-to-fix treats. Happy Father's Day to my Dad—and yours!
If your intake of fat is restricted, please pay attention to the nutritional information for any sorbet you eat. People think all sorbets are fat-free, but that isn't true. Most fruit-flavor sorbets are low fat (or nonfat), but non-fruit sorbets (such as chocolate) can contain a substantial amount, depending on the manufacturer. Always check the carton label.
Hey, it's summer—time for ice cream! How about some really good stuff? Double Rainbow Gourmet Ice Creams, Inc. is happy to oblige. This San Francisco-based company is beginning to achieve wider distribution in the US, and I, for one, am very glad of it. When was the last time you had a good mint chip ice cream? Bet it's been a while. If so, head for a pint of Double Rainbow. Theirs is smooth and creamy, with no unnecessary artificial green coloring, just a clean mint taste and good chocolate bits. Try the Marion Blackberry Sorbet, intensely flavored and not too sweet. Or how about White Pistachio & Chocolate, featuring both flavors side-by-side in the same carton? The cappuccino chocolate crunch is filled with a crunchy candy that reminds me of a childhood favorite; "It's A Goody" features vanilla ice cream with a peanut butter swirl and chocolate chips.
If you live in California or Albuquerque, NM, Double Rainbow may have an ice cream parlor near you. If you cannot find their products locally, the company may be able to ship you some. To find out details, call Double Rainbow at (800) 489-3580. Note that this company does not yet have a website. Try some of this ice cream--you'll be back for more! | {

Cinnamon and spice and everything nice. These pancakes have it all. K and L decided we were in serious need of some sweet and lovely pancakes. I googled a recipe and came up with this. I left out the Bisquick and just used the whole box of cake mix. We also added 1 cup of raisins. Yum! If your batter is a bit dry add some more milk to thin it out. We drizzled our pancakes with an amazing glaze syrup. Just a party of sweetness going on when you eat these.
pancakes and create a scrumptious fiesta in your mouth.
Go and make some with your family today.
Your taste buds deserve it.
Those look and sound delicious!! I could eat a plateful right now--except that if I made them, I would have to eat all of them by myself. Hmm, I bet my 4-legged babies would help--sigh, better wait until I have 2-legged people in the house, but they sure sound great!
And you have the cutest help ever!

Psychometric Properties of the Berger HIV Stigma Scale: A Systematic Review.
Wanjala SW., Too EK., Luchters S., Abubakar A.
Addressing HIV-related stigma requires the use of psychometrically sound measures. However, despite the Berger HIV stigma scale (HSS) being among the most widely used measures for assessing HIV-related stigma, no study has systematically summarised its psychometric properties. This review investigated the psychometric properties of the HSS. A systematic review of articles published between 2001 and August 2021 was undertaken (CRD42020220305) following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. Additionally, we searched the grey literature and screened the reference lists of the included studies. Of the total 1241 studies that were screened, 166 were included in the review, of which 24 were development and/or validation studies. The rest were observational or experimental studies. All the studies except two reported some aspect of the scale's reliability. The reported internal consistency ranged from acceptable to excellent (Cronbach's alpha ≥ 0.70) in 93.2% of the studies. Only eight studies reported test-retest reliability, and the reported reliability was adequate, except for one study. Only 36 studies assessed and established the HSS's validity. The HSS appears to be a reliable and valid measure of HIV-related stigma. However, the validity evidence came from only 36 studies, most of which were conducted in North America and Europe. Consequently, more validation work is necessary for more precise insights.

Our Collar Companions can help therapy dogs and patients relax...let us help you relax too!
Daisy, our shepard mix, was my inspiration to start this company.
I have used essential oils on my pets for many years, but after Daisy was diagnosed with discoid lupus (a chronic inflammatory condition effecting the skin) I knew I needed to create something that would allow her to continue enjoying the wonderful benefits of aromatherapy without the worry of any side effects that could accompany having contact with her delicate skin. I invented the patented Collar Companion® to safely and easily use essential oils on pets and people.
The Collar Companion® is a new and innovative way to provide aromatherapy for pets and people. Unlike other methods used to administer aromatherapy which can be messy, lingering, and ineffective, the design of the Collar Companion® allows you to safely and easily put drops of our organic Daisy's Blends™essential oils into it without any mess. By placing the essential oils in the Collar Companion® and not on your skin or their fur, you can quickly change to a Collar Companion® with a different Daisy's Blends to suit your needs without the previous scent lingering. Collar Companions come unscented, by bottling our Daisy's Blends™ essential oils separately the Collar Companion® will be very effective when you start using them for aromatherapy. This concept also allows you to re-energize the Collar Companion® with 1 to 2 drops of Daisy's Blends™ essential oil when needed. You use very little of the essential oil blends with each application, so a bottle can last quite a while.
A Collar Companion® comes in many different designs, which allows you to change the look of you dog's collar, harness, or leash in seconds. For people we offer bracelets and necklaces. With their fashion-forward design, you will look as good as you feel.
Our Daisy's Blends™ essential oils were created with your dog's highly sensitive nose in mind. The essential oils we use to blend each bottle of our Daisy's Blends are high quality, therapeutic, organic, and pure with no fragrance or fillers added. You can feel confident in their quality for both you and your pet(s).
We take pride in the fact that ALL our products are designed, blended, bottled, and handcrafted at our facility in the USA.
Helping animals and people without the worry of hurting is our philosophy. That is why we sure love what we do. | {

UK police have admitted that supervisors knew about a long-term sexual relationship between an undercover officer and an environmental activist, campaigners said Friday.
The activist, Kate Wilson, had a two-year intimate relationship with Mark Kennedy, who was known to her as Mark Stone. She only found out in 2010 that he had been an undercover officer tasked with infiltrating environmental protest groups.
The Investigatory Powers Tribunal is due to hear Wilson's case against the Metropolitan Police and the National Police Chiefs' Council, alleging breaches of the Human Rights Act, on October 3. The tribunal investigates claims that the police have abused covert surveillance powers and infringed people's human rights.
The admission that Kennedy's supervisors knew about their sexual relationship and allowed it to continue was made in legal papers submitted by the police ahead of the October 3 hearing, according to a document released by campaign group Police Spies Out of Lives on Friday.
Police have also conceded in the legal papers that Kennedy's relationship with Wilson violated her right to live without torture or inhuman or degrading treatment, and that this breach was made worse by the complicity of his managers, the document said.
Wilson is one of eight women to have brought a case against the police over undercover relationships, with legal support provided by Police Spies Out of Lives.
"It has taken me eight painful years to discover that managing officers really did conspire to deceive and abuse me, something the police had consistently denied," Wilson said in a statement Friday.
"The wider questions for society here are massive, this is about institutional sexism, senior police officers sanctioning sexual abuse, and the systematic violation of human rights because of political beliefs, and we still don't have the whole truth.
Wilson tells how she fell in love with Kennedy — whom she describes as "charismatic and romantic" and sharing many of her interests and dreams — after meeting him at a public meeting about holding protests at the G8 summit in Scotland that year. He became her lover and they lived together for more than a year, she said.
"He visited my parents on many occasions, and he attended my grandmother's 90th birthday. He was my partner in just about everything, for two years," she said. After they separated, the pair remained "close friends" until 2010, she said.
Scotland Yard's apology in 2015 was part of its settlement of a civil case brought by eight women, Wilson among them, who had been deceived by undercover officers. It was accompanied by an agreement to pay compensation.
While the other seven settled, Wilson continued her case and won a High Court battle against the Met Police in 2016 after the force withdrew its defense.
The Met said Friday that it would be "inappropriate" to comment on Wilson's ongoing civil action at the tribunal.
"The (Met) has made clear its position on long-term sexual relationships known to have been entered into by some undercover officers in the past. Those relationships were wrong and should not have happened," it said. | {

It was great to see so much passion for chess in the parallel events and among organizers and spectators!
- Magnus Carlsen
20. May 2019 | Chess
Written by Magnus Carlsen
| Oslo, Norway
Compared to April and June, my May schedule is less hectic. I appreciated celebrating national Independence day May 17th with friends in Oslo after returning from a great trip to Abidjan, one of the capitals of the Ivory Coast, hosting the first 2019 Grand Chess Tour event (in Rapid & Blitz).
Even after a highly successful run in classical chess this year, playing a different format brings some uncertainty. Finding the right balance between strategic plans requiring deep calculations and intuitive play, is particularly challenging in Rapid chess. My last Rapid performance, in the World Rapid Championship in St.Petersburg in December, was not optimal despite a reasonable score.
All the more, I was delighted to be able to play quite well in the Rapid portion in Abidjan. The great score 7.5/9 gave me a healthy lead before the Blitz, although my play had varied somewhat more than the score would indicate. I'm very satisfied with the games against Nepomniatchchi and Karjakin. Against So and Nakamura I made a tactical mistake and against Ding a strategic mistake at critical moments. Overall I played quite decently.
In Rapid & Blitz, multiple games a day do not allow you to recover overnight from a bad game as in classical chess. Looking back at GCT and World Championships in Rapid & Blitz I'm generally doing well overall if I'm in good shape four out of five days. Sometimes three is enough. It was a very unpleasant the way neither my calculation nor my intuition worked on the first day of Blitz, and squandering a great position to lose in the end against Vachier-Lagrave (who kept his cool admirably) didn't particularly help.
Fortunately the results were nowhere near catastrophic, and I had a healthy lead overall also going into the last day. Another early loss against Vachier-Lagrave, when I botched a very comfortable position by bringing the knight to d3, having missed Ne1 after Rb1 Rd2 Rxb3 from afar, forced me to look back over my shoulder. Later my form gradually improved, and I ended on a high note beating Nakamura with black from an equal ending in the last round.
I finished clear first with 26.5/36 ahead of Nakamura and Vachier-Lagrave in shared 2nd with 23 point in my first elite event as World Champion in Africa, and I'd like to thank the GCT and local organizers for this great opportunity and for a well-organized event. And, it was great to see so much passion for chess in the parallel events and among organizers and spectators!
The Rapid section started at 5pm and one day we went to the beach by nearby city Grand-Bassam. The waves were surprisingly big. We were told it is a typical phenomenon in this part of Africa despite little wind, and we enjoyed the combination of beautiful beaches and a challenging swim.
The day after returning from Abidjan I played a 15-board simul for my main sponsor Simonsen Vogt Wiig in Bergen. They had managed to bring together an impressive field of interesting opponents, and I thoroughly enjoyed the event!
Tomorrow I'm traveling to Denmark for a simul and a short Rapid match against Danish Vice-Champion Jonas Bjerre in Copenhagen. Amazingly it is the first time I'm playing chess in Denmark in more than a decade.
Next weekend I'm going to Scotland for the first time ever to participate in the Lindores Abbey Chess Stars Tournament where I'll play Liren Ding, Viswanatand Anand and probably Karjakin in a two-day rapid event.

Q: Load an img src as a background image for the Div it resides in with jQuery I'm working with SharePoint and I have to deal with a few corporate issues in using Open Source... plus have to make the site easy for someone to edit. I'm using jQuery and Cycle v.3.0.2 to run a slider. I'm about to rip apart my slider to allow it to use captions, so I will use an individual div per slide. I want to have an img element and a text element to run as a caption, and since the slider is full width, I'd love it if I can pull that img tag's src attribute and apply it to the overall div as a background image when the particular slide loads. Is there a way to make this happen? I see the coding being like this:
<div id="slider">
<div class="sliderIMG">
<img src="http://urURL.com/img1" />
<h4>Your Caption for Slider <a class="button" href="#" target="_blank">Button</a></h4>
</div>
<div class="sliderIMG">
<img src="http://urURL.com/img1" />
<h4>Your Caption for Slider <a class="button" href="#" target="_blank">Button</a></h4>
</div>
<div class="sliderIMG">
<img src="http://urURL.com/img1" />
<h4>Your Caption for Slider <a class="button" href="#" target="_blank">Button</a></h4>
</div>
Is there a way that I can call it to add a style tag to the .sliderIMG div and add the background image inline using the img src that resides in the this div? Also, there is a class for the active slide named 'active' if that helps me in getting the correct src attribute.
A: var src = $('.sliderIMG').children('img').attr('src');
$('.sliderIMG').css('background-image', 'url(' + src + '');
https://jsfiddle.net/3h6pqyod/
And as another poster said, you can iterate over all divs like this:
$('.sliderIMG').each(function() {
var src = $(this).children //etc...
A: You have two obvious approaches; one is to iterate over the <img> elements:
// selects all <img> elements within an element of the
// class 'sliderIMG', then iterates over that collection:
$('.sliderIMG img').each(function(){
// finding the closest ancestor element matching
// the '.sliderIMG' selector, and updating its
// 'background-image', property-value using the
// css() method, to the property held in the
// <img> element's 'src' property:
$(this).closest('.sliderIMG').css('background-image', this.src);
});
Or you can iterate over the .sliderIMG elements:
// selecting all '.sliderIMG' elements, and updating its
// 'background-image' property, using the anonymous function
// of the css() method; in which we find the descendant <img>
// element(s) and then return the 'src' property of the
// first <img> in that collection:
$('.sliderIMG').css('background-image', function (){
return $(this).find('img').prop('src');
});
In plain JavaScript the following enables the same functionality:
// using document.querySelectorAll() to retrieve all
// elements matching the supplied CSS selector:
var images = document.querySelectorAll('.sliderIMG img'),
// using Array.from() to convert the returned
// HTMLCollection into an Array:
imageArray = Array.from( images );
// or, in older browsers; here we use
// Array.prototype.slice() with
// Function.prototype.call() to create an
// Array from the HTMLCollection:
// imageArray = Array.prototype.slice.call(images, 0);
// iterating over the Array of images with
// Array.prototype.forEach():
imageArray.forEach(function (img) {
// the first argument of the forEach
// anonymous function is a reference
// to the Array element of the Array
// over which we're iterating.
// here we find the parentNode of the <img>
// and directly update its 'background-image'
// to that of the <img> element's src property:
img.parentNode.style.backgroundImage = img.src;
});

Gracias a los sistemas de subida de vídeos, se han dado a conocer una numerosa cantidad de AMV con la canción de Miko Miko Nurse.
Curiosidades
Las frases "namamugi namagome" y "kaeru pyoko pyoko" son segmentos de unos muy conocidos trabalenguas japoneses. Estas frases son "namamugi namagome namatamago" y "kaeru pyoko pyoko mi pyoko pyoko, awasete pyoko pyoko mu pyoko pyoko".
La animación flash hecha por Dwedit se realizó como respuesta a una larga discusión en los foros de Drangon-warrior.
La imagen de Barney con ojos rojos en la animación de Dwedit corresponde a un avatar de un usuario del foro de Dragon-warrior.

GMO Labeling Now Mandatory in India
Monday, January 28, 2013 - As of January 1, 2013 the labeling of products containing genetically modified organisms (GMOs) within the nation of India is now mandated by law. Each package containing GM ingredients will clearly be labeled directly on the prime real estate of the package as 'GM'.
The labeling will basically help inform the consumer about the presence of GM content in packaged food products.
Although side-tracked for awhile by Monsanto's deceptive defeat of Prop 37 in California, the consumer driven anti-GMO crusade goes on in the US as New Mexico and Washington state are moving forward with mandatory GM labeling legislation.

India Signs Mandatory GMO Labeling into Law
Article from NaturalSociety.com | Posted: January 10, 2013
By: Anthony Gucciardi
Paving the way for other nations to introduce similar legislation and inform consumers what they're really putting into their mouths, the labeling of products containing genetically modified organisms (GMOs) within the nation of India is now mandated by law. The country's Ministry of Consumer Affairsmakes declared in a June 5, 2012 notice that all GMO-containing packaged foods must be labeled by January 1, 2013 or face legal repercussions.
Each package containing GM ingredients will clearly be labeled directly on the prime real estate of the package as 'GM'. A warning that many heads of organizations and even bodies within the Indian government are praising for its ability to inform individuals as to what they are really feeding their family.
"The labelling will basically help inform the consumer about the presence of GM content in packaged food products," said B.N.Dixit, Director, Legal Metrology, Department of Consumer Affairs.
In the wake of crippled labeling attempts inside the United States thanks to Monsanto-backed corporate deception, such as phony campaign materials designed to deceive California's Prop 37 GMO labeling campaign, this is an extremely bold message by India. A message that will likely be picked up by neighboring countries where citizens have been demanding GMO labeling — or even an outright ban. The move also comes after other countries like Poland already took moves to ban Monsanto's genetically modified maize.
Even states like New Mexico and Washington are now pushing forward with legislation that would make labeling mandatory.
While the labeling declaration is certainly a victory, some Indian experts are saying that it would be much more of a victory for somewhere like the US, where around 90% of food products are pre-packaged or processed. The opposite is true in India, where much of the food available in local markets is whole food items and raw materials. In other words, the Indian citizens still prepare meals by hand in many cases. This means that they are using non-packaged food items like produce that may not be labeled.
Nonetheless, the law allows for an advancement in the lengthy fight against GMOs, which have been linked to a host of serious illnesses ranging from tumor development to infertility.

JavaScript uses functions to manage scope. A variable declared inside of a function is local to that function and not available outside the function. On the other hand,global variables are those declared outside of any function or simply used without being declared.
Every JavaScript environment has a global object accessible when you use this outside of any function. Every global variable you create becomes a property of the global object. In browsers, for convenience, there is an additional property of the global object called window that (usually) points to the global object itself. The following code snippet shows how to create and access a global variable in a browser environment:
myglobal = "hello"; // antipattern
console.log(myglobal); // "hello"
console.log(window.myglobal); // "hello"
console.log(window["myglobal"]); // "hello"
console.log(this.myglobal); // "hello"
1. The Problem with Globals
The problem with global variables is that they are shared among all the code in your JavaScript application or web page. They live in the same global namespace and there is always a chance of naming collisions—when two separate parts of an application define global variables with the same name but with different purposes.
It's also common for web pages to include code not written by the developers of the page, for example:
A third-party JavaScript library
Scripts from an advertising partner
Code from a third-party user tracking and analytics script
Different kinds of widgets, badges, and buttons
Let's say that one of the third-party scripts defines a global variable, called, for example, result. Then later in one of your functions you define another global variable called result. The outcome of that is the last result variable overwrites the previous ones, and the third-party script may just stop working.
Therefore it's important to be a good neighbor to the other scripts that may be in the same page and use as few global variables as possible. Later in the book you learn about strategies to minimize the number of globals, such as the namespacing pattern or the self-executing immediate functions, but the most important pattern for having fewer globals is to always use var to declare variables.
It is surprisingly easy to create globals involuntarily because of two JavaScript features. First, you can use variables without even declaring them. And second, JavaScript has the notion of implied globals, meaning that any variable you don't declare becomes a property of the global object (and is accessible just like a properly declared global variable). Consider the following example:
function sum(x, y) {
// antipattern: implied global
result = x + y;
In this code, result is used without being declared. The code works fine, but after calling the function you end up with one more variable result in the global namespace that can be a source of problems.
The rule of thumb is to always declare variables with var, as demonstrated in the improved version of the sum() function:
var result = x + y;
Another antipattern that creates implied globals is to chain assignments as part of a var declaration. In the following snippet, a is local but b becomes global, which is probably not what you meant to do:
// antipattern, do not use
var a = b = 0;
If you're wondering why that happens, it's because of the right-to-left evaluation. First, the expression b = 0 is evaluated and in this case b is not declared. The return value of this expression is 0, and it's assigned to the new local variable declared with var a. In other words, it's as if you've typed:
var a = (b = 0);
If you've already declared the variables, chaining assignments is fine and doesn't create unexpected globals. Example:
var a, b;
a = b = 0; // both local
Note: Yet another reason to avoid globals is portability. If you want your code to run in different environments (hosts), it's dangerous to use globals because you can accidentally overwrite a host object that doesn't exist in your original environment (so you thought the name was safe to use) but which does in some of the others.
2. Side Effects When Forgetting var
There's one slight difference between implied globals and explicitly defined ones—the difference is in the ability to undefine these variables using the delete operator:
Globals created with var (those created in the program outside of any function) cannot be deleted.
Implied globals created without var (regardless if created inside functions) can be deleted.
This shows that implied globals are technically not real variables, but they are properties of the global object. Properties can be deleted with the delete operator whereas variables cannot:
// define three globals
var global_var = 1;
global_novar = 2; // antipattern
global_fromfunc = 3; // antipattern
}());
// attempt to delete
delete global_var; // false
delete global_novar; // true
delete global_fromfunc; // true
// test the deletion
typeof global_var; // "number"
typeof global_novar; // "undefined"
typeof global_fromfunc; // "undefined"
In ES5 strict mode, assignments to undeclared variables (such as the two antipatterns in the preceding snippet) will throw an error.
3. Access to the Global Object
In the browsers, the global object is accessible from any part of the code via the window property (unless you've done something special and unexpected such as declaring a local variable named window). But in other environments this convenience property may be called something else (or even not available to the programmer). If you need to access the global object without hard-coding the identifier window, you can do the following from any level of nested function scope:
var global = (function () {
This way you can always get the global object, because inside functions that were invoked as functions (that is, not as constrictors with new) this should always point to the global object. This is actually no longer the case in ECMAScript 5 in strict mode, so you have to adopt a different pattern when your code is in strict mode. For example, if you're developing a library, you can wrap your library code in an immediate function and then from the global scope, pass a reference to this as a parameter to your immediate function.
4. Single var Pattern
Using a single var statement at the top of your functions is a useful pattern to adopt. It has the following benefits:
Provides a single place to look for all the local variables needed by the function
Prevents logical errors when a variable is used before it's defined (see Section 2.2.5)
Helps you remember to declare variables and therefore minimize globals
Is less code (to type and to transfer over the wire)
The single var pattern looks like this:
function func() {
var a = 1,
b = 2,
sum = a + b,
myobject = {},
j;
// function body...
You use one var statement and declare multiple variables delimited by commas. It's a good practice to also initialize the variable with an initial value at the time you declare it. This can prevent logical errors (all uninitialized and declared variables are initialized with the value undefined) and also improve the code readability. When you look at the code later, you can get an idea about the intended use of a variable based on its initial value—for example, was it supposed to be an object or an integer?
You can also do some actual work at the time of the declaration, like the case with sum = a + b in the preceding code. Another example is when working with DOM (Document Object Model) references. You can assign DOM references to local variables together with the single declaration, as the following code demonstrates:
function updateElement() {
var el = document.getElementById("result"),
style = el.style;
// do something with el and style...
5. Hoisting: A Problem with Scattered vars
JavaScript enables you to have multiple var statements anywhere in a function, and they all act as if the variables were declared at the top of the function. This behavior is known as hoisting. This can lead to logical errors when you use a variable and then you declare it further in the function. For JavaScript, as long as a variable is in the same scope (same function), it's considered declared, even when it's used before the var declaration. Take a look at this example:
// antipattern
myname = "global"; // global variable
alert(myname); // "undefined"
var myname = "local";
alert(myname); // "local"
func();
In this example, you might expect that the first alert() will prompt "global" and the second will prompt "local." It's a reasonable expectation because, at the time of the first alert, myname was not declared and therefore the function should probably "see" the global myname. But that's not how it works. The first alert will say "undefined" because myname is considered declared as a local variable to the function. (Although the declaration comes after.) All the variable declarations get hoisted to the top of the function. Therefore to avoid this type of confusion, it's best to declare upfront all variables you intend to use.
The preceding code snippet will behave as if it were implemented like so:
var myname; // same as -> var myname = undefined;
myname = "local";
Note: For completeness, let's mention that actually at the implementation level things are a little more complex. There are two stages of the code handling, where variables, function declarations, and formal parameters are created at the first stage, which is the stage of parsing and entering the context. In the second stage, the stage of runtime code execution, function expressions and unqualified identifiers (undeclared variables) are created. But for practical purposes, we can adopt the concept of hoisting, which is actually not defined by ECMAScript standard but is commonly used to describe the behavior.

Casablanca is without a doubt one of the most important cities of Morocco. It is not only of great importance to Morocco, but it is also one of the most important cities in Africa. It goes without saying that the success of the city of Casablanca will be the success of Morocco itself.
This public-private partnership is part of the State Department's Global Innovation through Science and Technology (GIST) initiative to increase innovation around the world, and was launched today at the Global Entrepreneurship Summit (GES) in Morocco. Today, Gust is proud to join the U.S. Department of State and several other private sector partners to launch The GIST Network (GIST Net), an interactive online network connecting science and technology entrepreneurs in emerging economies.

3-D printing could one day help fix damaged cartilage in knees, noses and ears
by American Chemical Society

Athletes, the elderly and others who suffer from injuries and arthritis can lose cartilage and experience a lot of pain. Researchers are now reporting, however, that they have found a way to produce cartilage tissue by 3-D bioprinting an ink containing human cells, and they have successfully tested it in an in vivo mouse model. The development could one day lead to precisely printed implants to heal damaged noses, ears and knees.
The researchers presented their work today at the 251st National Meeting & Exposition of the American Chemical Society (ACS).
"Three-dimensional bioprinting is a disruptive technology and is expected to revolutionize tissue engineering and regenerative medicine," says Paul Gatenholm, Ph.D. "Our team's interest is in working with plastic surgeons to create cartilage to repair damage from injuries or cancer. We work with the ear and the nose, which are parts of the body that surgeons today have a hard time repairing. But hopefully, they'll one day be able to fix them with a 3-D printer and a bioink made out of a patient's own cells."
Gatenholm's team at the Wallenberg Wood Science Center in Sweden is tackling this challenge step by step. First, they had to develop an ink with living human cells that would keep its shape after printing. Previously, printed materials would collapse into an amorphous pile.
To create a new bioink, Gatenholm's team mixed polysaccharides from brown algae and tiny cellulose fibrils from wood or made by bacteria, as well as human chondrocytes, which are cells that build up cartilage. Using this mixture, the researchers were able to print living cells in a specific architecture, such as an ear shape, that maintained its form even after printing. The printed cells also produced cartilage in a laboratory dish.
"But under in vitro conditions, we have to change the nutrient-filled liquid that the material sits in every other day and add growth factors," Gatenholm says. "It's a very artificial environment."
So the next step was to move the research from a lab dish to a living system. Gatenholm's team printed tissue samples and implanted them in mice. The cells survived and produced cartilage. Then, to boost the number of cells, which is another hurdle in tissue engineering, the researchers mixed the chondrocytes with human mesenchymal stem cells from bone marrow. Previous research has indicated that stem cells spur primary cells to proliferate more than they would alone. Preliminary data from in vivo testing over 60 days show the combination does indeed encourage chondrocyte and cartilage production.
Gatenholm says further preclinical work needs to be done before moving on to human trials. To ensure the most direct route, he is working with a plastic surgeon to anticipate and address practical and regulatory issues.
In addition to cartilage printing, Gatenholm's team is working with a cosmetic company to develop 3-D bioprinted human skin. Cosmetic companies are now prohibited in Europe from testing cosmetics on animals, so they hope to use printed skin to try out makeup, anti-wrinkling techniques and strategies to prevent sun damage.

Having worked on the knee I'd like to add a caveat here (note the authors ofthe original article do NOT talk about knee cartilage).
Nose and ear use (largely) unstructured cartilage and are not subject to (much) stress, so 3D bioprinting works very well.
Cartilage in the knee is a different critter. You have a very defined orientation of the cartilage cells (parallel close to the bone which slowly goes to upright in the middle layer and then parallel again at the articulate interface.
Just dropping in a bit of cartilage in the right shape is not enough. This was tried with ex vivo cultivation of cartilage tailored to the defect shape. But once it was implanted the different biomechanical properties of the structured and unstructed regions quickly led to degradation at the interfaces due to high differential strains.
I think it might not be far off when we can print structured cartilage to address this. But there's still some work to be done.

New York Times Website Hacked, Syrian Electronic Army Appears to Take Credit
The New York Times website has gone dark for some users.

Syrian Hackers Take Credit for NY Times Web Breach
Potential U.S. strike in Syria has caused volatile days on Wall Street.

Aug. 27, 2013 — -- For the second time this month, the New York Times' website has gone down.
However, unlike the first outage on Aug. 14, which was blamed on server problems, the company said it believed today's outage was a result of external "malicious attack."
"The New York Times website was unavailable to readers on Tuesday afternoon following an attack on the company's domain name registrar, Melbourne IT," the Times wrote in an article published through a backup site this evening. "The attack also required employees of The Times to stop sending out sensitive e-mails."
Earlier today, a Twitter account allegedly belonging to the Syrian Electronic Army, a pro-Syrian-regime hacker collective, claimed to have taken over The New York Times website, Huffington Post UK's website and Twitter.com, by hacking into each of the site's registry accounts, or what is known as a domain name server (DNS).
The account today tweeted first, "Hi @Twitter, look at your domain, its owned by #SEA :)," and posted a screen shot of what appeared to be the search results for Twitter's domain registry on the domain name registration database, Whois.DomainTools.com.
In the screen shot, it appeared that some of the contact information was changed so that looked like the Syrian Electronic Army owned Twitter.com.
Then, the same account claimed it hacked into the New York Times' and Huffington Post UK's DNS accounts, making it appear as if the Syrian Electronic Army owned those sites, as well.
Melbourne IT released a statement this evening acknowledging an unknown party accessed a "reseller" account with a stolen ID and password and used that access to tamper with client domain names, including that of The New York Times. The company said it later reversed those changes.
"We are currently reviewing our logs to see if we can obtain information on the identity of the party that has used the reseller credentials, and we will share this information with the reseller and any relevant law enforcement bodies," the statement said. "We will also review additional layers of security that we can add to our reseller accounts."
When asked what a hacker could do with a successful DNS attack, Brian Krebs, a cyber security blogger at KrebsOnSecurity.com who investigated the alleged attack, said, "What couldn't you do?"
"What DNS does is translate human-friendly domain names [like nytimes.com] into IP addresses and vice-versa. Essentially, if you hijack somebody's domain name server or alter their information, you can control where the computer sends the user online," said Krebs.
In a statement on the company's blog, Twitter said, "At 20:49 UTC, our DNS provider experienced an issue in which it appears DNS records for various organizations were modified, including one of Twitter's domains used for image serving, twimg.com. Viewing of images and photos was sporadically impacted. By 22:29 UTC, the original domain record for twimg.com was restored. No Twitter user information was affected by this incident."
Despite the claims from the Syrian Electronic Army's apparent account, Twitter.com and Huffington Post's UK site appeared to be functioning normally.
The New York Times' main website, however, appeared to remain down as of approximately 11 p.m. ET. It appeared the site went down or began to have performance issues starting at approximately 3:30 p.m. ET.
Whether the Syrian Electronic Army was responsible for the New York Times website being down remained to be confirmed. When asked by ABC News about any Syria links, New York Times spokeswoman Eileen Murphy had no comment.
Rick Holland, information security expert at Forrester Research, said that if the SEA was indeed behind today's attacks, "this is continued behavior that we have seen for the last couple of years. This isn't anything new for this group."
In the past, the same Twitter account claimed responsibility on behalf of the Syrian Electronic Army for an Aug. 15 attack on the Washington Post, as well as attacks on the websites for CNN and Time.
In recent months, the SEA has publicly taken credit for a series of high-profile cyber assaults, including taking over the Twitter feeds of prominent organizations such as The Associated Press, Reuters, The New York Post and the satirical news site The Onion. | {

T cell recognition of foreign peptide antigen and tolerance to self peptides is key to the proper function of the immune system. Usually, in the thymus T cells that recognize self MHC + self peptides are deleted and those with the potential to recognize self MHC + foreign peptides are selected to mature. However there are exceptions to these rules. Autoimmunity and allergy are two of the most common immune diseases that can be related to recognition of self. Many genes work together to lead to autoimmunity. Of those, particular MHC alleles are the most strongly associated, reflecting the key importance of MHC presentation of self peptides in autoimmunity. T cells specific for combinations of self MHC and self peptides may escape thymus deletion, and thus be able to drive autoimmunity, for several reasons:the relevant self peptide may be presented at low abundance in the thymus but at high level in particular peripheral tissues; the relevant self peptide may bind to MHC in an unusual register, not present in the thymus but apparent elsewhere; finally the relevant self peptide may be post translationally modified in a tissue specific fashion. In some types of allergy, the peptide + MHC combination may also be fully derived from self. However the combination in question may be modified by the presence of other ligands, such as small drug molecules or metal ions. Thus these types of allergies may act like the post translationally modified peptides involved some types of autoimmunity.

Plexins and semaphorins are a large family of proteins that are involved in cell movement and response. The importance of plexins and semaphorins has been emphasized by their discovery in many organ systems including the nervous (Nkyimbeng-Takwi and Chapoval, 2011; McCormick and Leipzig, 2012; Yaron and Sprinzak, 2012), epithelial (Miao et al., 1999; Fujii et al., 2002), and immune systems (Takamatsu and Kumanogoh, 2012) as well as diverse cell processes including angiogenesis (Serini et al., 2009; Sakurai et al., 2012), embryogenesis (Perala et al., 2012), and cancer (Potiron et al., 2009; Micucci et al., 2010). Plexins and semaphorins are transmembrane proteins that share a conserved extracellular semaphorin domain (Hota and Buck, 2012). The plexins and semaphorins are divided into four and eight subfamilies respectively based on their structural homology. Semaphorins are relatively small proteins containing the extracellular semaphorin domain and short intracellular tails. Plexins contain the semaphorin domain and long intracellular tails (Hota and Buck, 2012). The majority of plexin and semaphorin research has focused on the nervous system, particularly the developing nervous system, where these proteins are found to mediate many common neuronal cell processes including cell movement, cytoskeletal rearrangement, and signal transduction (Choi et al., 2008; Takamatsu et al., 2010). Their roles in the immune system are the focus of this review.

Microbial components and the endogenous molecules released from damaged cells can stimulate germline-encoded pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) to transduce signals to the hub of the innate immune signaling network-the adaptor proteins MyD88/TRIF/MAVS/STING/Caspase-1, where integrated signals relay to the relevant transcription factors IRF3/IRF7/NF-κB/AP-1 and the signal transducer and activator of transcription 6 (STAT6) to trigger the expression of type I interferons and inflammatory cytokines or the assembly of inflammasomes. Most pleiotropic cytokines are secreted and bind to specific receptors, activating the signaling pathways including JAK-STAT for the proliferation, differentiation and functional capacity of immune cells. This review focuses on several critical adaptors in innate immune signaling cascades and recent progress in their molecular mechanisms.

Plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs), also known as type I interferon (IFN)-producing cells, are specialized immune cells characterized by their extraordinary capabilities of mounting rapid and massive type I IFN response to nucleic acids derived from virus, bacteria or dead cells. PDCs selectively express endosomal Toll-like receptor (TLR) 7 and TLR9, which sense viral RNA and DNA respectively. Following type I IFN and cytokine responses, pDCs differentiate into antigen presenting cells and acquire the ability to regulate T cell-mediated adaptive immunity. The functions of pDCs have been implicated not only in antiviral innate immunity but also in immune tolerance, inflammation and tumor microenvironments. In this review, we will focus on TLR7/9 signaling and their regulation by pDC-specific receptors.

The p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) plays an evolutionarily conserved role in the cellular response to microbial infection and environmental stress. Activation of p38 is mediated through phosphorylation by upstream MAPKK, which in turn is activated by MAPKKK. In the Caenorhabditis elegans, the p38 MAPK (also called PMK-1) signaling pathway has been shown to be required in its resistance to bacterial infection. However, how different upstream MAP2Ks and MAP3Ks specifically contribute to the activation of PMK-1 in response to bacterial infection still is not clearly understood. By using double-stranded RNA-mediated interference (RNAi) and genetic mutants of C. elegans, we demonstrate that C. elegans MOM-4, a mammalian TAK1 homolog, is required for the resistance of C. elegans to a P. aeruginosa infection. We have also found that the MKK-4 of C. elegans is required for P. aeruginosa resistance, but not through the regulation of DLK-1. In summary, our results indicate that different upstream MAPKKKs or MAPKKs regulate the activation of PMK-1 in response to P. aeruginosa.

The paracaspase MALT1 is essential for the activation of NF-κB in response to T cell receptor (TCR) stimulation. It recruits downstream TRAF6 and activates the E3 ligase activity of TRAF6 to polyubiquitinate several targets, which ultimately leads to NF-κB activation. Here we identified ubiquitin-specific protease 2a (USP2a) as a MALT1-associated protein by biochemical affinity purification. Endogenous USP2a constitutively interacted with TRAF6, but dynamically interacted with MALT1 and CARMA1 in a stimulation-dependent manner. RNA interference (RNAi)-mediated silencing of USP2a attenuated TCR-induced NF-κB activation and production of interleukin-2 (IL-2). In addition, the ubiquitination of MALT1 and TRAF6 were both suppressed by USP2a knockdown. By knockdown and reconstitution assays, we found that USP2a mediated the interaction between MALT1 and TRAF6 in a catalytic activity-dependent manner. Furthermore, USP2a deSUMOylated TRAF6. Our findings implicate that USP2a plays an important role in TCR signaling by deSUMOylating TRAF6 and mediating TRAF6-MALT1 interaction.

The p53 signaling pathway works as a potent barrier to tumor progression. Two single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the gene loci of p53 pathway, p53 codon 72 Arg72Pro and MDM2 SNP309 (T > G), have been shown to cause perturbation of p53 function, but the effect of the two SNPs on the risk of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains inconsistent. This study investigated the influence of combined p53 Arg72Pro and MDM2 SNP309 on the risk of developing HCC in patients with chronic hepatitis B virus infection, and evaluated the significance of the two combined SNPs on patient prognosis. In total, 350 HCC patients, 230 non-HCC patients, and 96 healthy controls were genotyped for the p53 Arg72Pro and MDM2 SNP309. The combined p53 Pro/Pro and MDM2 G/G genotype was significantly associated with HCC risk (P=0.047). Multivariate analysis indicated that combined p53 Pro/Pro and MDM2 G/G genotype was an independent factor affecting recurrence and survival (P < 0.05). Patients with combined p53 Pro/Pro and MDM2 G/G genotypes had a poorer prognosis than other genotypes, P < 0.01 for both disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS). DFS and OS rates also differed significantly between Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer (BCLC) stage A patients with combined p53 Pro/Pro and MDM2 G/G and other genotypes (P < 0.05). Thus, the combined p53 Pro/Pro and MDM2 G/G genotype is associated with increased risk of developing HCC and is an independent adverse prognostic indicator in early stage HCC.

Given: Hart can rise to England challenge
SHAY Given insists Joe Hart won't let England down at the World Cup – but is determined to keep him out of Manchester City's first team.
THAT WAY TO SOUTH AFRICA: Joe Hart is battling for the England number one spot
Get the biggest Manchester City FC stories by email
Hart is set to be named in Fabio Capello's World Cup squad after an outstanding season on loan at Birmingham.
The 23-year-old is locked in a three-way battle for the No 1 jersey in South Africa with ex-City keeper David James and West Ham's Robert Green.
But he demonstrated his international credentials in the 2-1 win against Japan in Graz on Sunday with a fine display after coming on as a half-time substitute.
And Given reckons his City colleague – the least experienced of England's three keepers – is more than good enough to handle the World Cup pressure.
"It would be great for Joe to get a couple of games," said Given. "He's had a fantastic season. Rob Green and David James are two fantastic keepers as well.
"It's going to be a difficult decision for the England manager, but Joe has given him that difficult decision to make. He's done really well."
Given is hoping to be fit for the start of next season, having damaged his shoulder during City's 0-0 draw at Arsenal in April – if for nothing else but to ensure he keeps Hart out of the side.
"I was told I would be out for three to four months when I picked up the injury," said the 34-year-old Republic of Ireland international.
"Three months would take me to the end of July, while four would make it the end of August. So I'm pushing for the earlier date! I'm hoping to be back for the start of the season. That's the aim, because I don't want to miss any games.
"I was gutted to miss the final week of last season. It couldn't be helped, but I don't want to miss any more matches.
"I want to be back for the first game. That's my target. I hope I can get to play in pre-season as well."
Given sat out City's final three games of last season following the injury – the first Premier League matches he had missed since his £8m arrival from Newcastle in February 2009.
Boss Roberto Mancini was unable to recall Hart from his loan spell at Birmingham, while back-up keeper Stuart Taylor was recovering from a knee operation, and so he brought in Marton Fulop on loan from Sunderland.
Given added: "The physios are really happy with the way I've healed."
Do you think Hart is England's number one keeper? Have your say.

Importance of Witnesses in a Car Accident Case
In this educational video, Brevard County personal injury lawyer Chris Layman discusses the importance of witnesses in a car accident case.
Get Our FREE Car Accident Guide
Are witnesses important in a car accident case?
Witnesses are important to have in Florida car accident cases. Unfortunately, they are not always available, especially in cases where liability is a question or under dispute. If there are witnesses to the accident that will corroborate your version of what happened, that can be extremely helpful. If there are no witnesses and the claims are still valid, we can still present them to the insurance company, but witnesses help corroborate what happened at the scene of the accident.
Were you or a loved one seriously injured in an automobile crash in Florida and have questions about the importance of witnesses in your car accident case?

'Arm' and 'leg' are used as examples of items that no one would consider selling other than at an enormous price. It is a grim reality that, around that time, there were many US newspaper reports of servicemen who had lost an arm and a leg in the recent war. It is possible that the phrase originated in reference to the high cost paid by those who suffered such amputations.
Buying a brand new car is going to cost us an arm and a leg… maybe we should save money by riding a bike or taking the bus to work.
We now are presented with reliable demographic analysis that living in Indiana does not cost you an arm and a leg.
What does "cost an arm and a leg" mean?
(noun) a person who attacks or criticizes cherished beliefs or institutions.
(noun) a destroyer of images used in religious worship, in particular.
He was an iconoclast, too. In fact, he detested religion, temples, rituals, superstitions, Brahminical practices and reactionary Hinduism. | {

Are you building a new home or remodeling the one you live in now? It is an exciting time, and you'll get to make a lot of fun decisions down the road.
Our designer, Andria Orth, has frequently been asked a lot of the same questions about building and remodeling homes over the years, so she took these FAQs and developed a few essential tips and tricks to help you through the process.
1. Make it personal: Go online to find inspiration. Some of the best websites for home design include Houzz and Pinterest. Houzz is a place to find design ideas or even specific vendors and builders, which can help simplify and narrow down your choices. Pinterest is a great place to get general ideas for what you want. This simple search website allows you to save different ideas in virtual folders, allowing you ease of organization and the ability to explain likes and dislikes easier. Your home should reflect who you are and tell your story. Trends can be helpful as guidelines and tools, but sometimes the latest styles may not be who you are.
2. Work with your space: Understanding the size and scale of your room can help narrow down your choices in design elements. If you know the size of the room, interior designers can best educate you about the different products that will make your room look its best. Room size can lead to information about different design ideas and clear up myths. For example, it is believed that because you're in a small room, you need to use small tile to decorate it, but that is not the case. Scale drawings or measurements can help a designer understand space and make your flooring, tile, paint and decor selections balance and function to the best of their ability.
3. How to make your space feel inviting and comfortable: The feeling you get when you walk into a room is everything. If you're looking for warm and cozy, light and airy or bright and colorful, you can achieve the look with design components of flooring and tiled walls, along with paint color, furniture and decor pieces. Working with your designer to match your paint with flooring and even down to details of your pillows can pave the way for finding the feel a lot easier. While designing, think about the decor. Fill the space with accessories you love and maybe to a theme that represents you, your hobbies and your life. For example, if you love the water, find things with a nautical, boating feel. Be sure to present these things to your designer and builder, so they can help you make good decisions and provide you the products you want. Plus, sharing what you want with them will give you the ability to better visualize the space.Talk to your designer, know what you are looking for and create the home of your dreams.
4. Stick to the classics: Classic elements such as subway tile, chevron patterns, basket weaves, marble, black and white, medium and neutral tones will keep your home looking lovely for years to come. There are "trendy" design elements that can quickly date your home, so it is important to have an open conversation about incorporating the right styles into your home with your designer.
5. Less is more in a finished home: Once you have your newly remodeled or built home (yay!), to keep the feel and design of your home present, develop a system to maintain clutter. The more things you put into a space, the more it seems to take away from permanent things you want to see in your home. Accessories and paint can be changed, but organization is key to seeing your home as beautiful as it is today.

Josh McRoberts. Who is actually 2nd in the group behind durant in assists/36 mins.
Not many bigs get 4 assists a game or more. That's a good list to be on. Good to see Kevin Love up there. It feels like he was closer to 2 or 2.5 assists per game earlier in his career.
Kevin Durant is putting up freakish stats all around. In today's super sophisticated game based more on flex offenses, multiple scoring options, and a reliance on "efficiency" scoring 31 points (plus) in today's NBA would be like scoring 34 or 35 points in the early/mid Eighties. KD is on a roll.
I guess that Marc Gasol isn't on that list then. He should probably average 4 assists a game -- MINIMUM.
Kind of surprising to see McRoberts with that many assists, he has to be among the most improved players in the league..
If I'm not mistaken, McRoberts has one of the highest assist to turnover ratios in the entire NBA.
I'm an idiot. Disregard my previous comment.
Not surprising really, McRoberts has always had good ast% numbers, he only had fewer minutes and touches. Always been a gifted passer since his HS days. Charlotte runs their offense through him a lot, both from the high post and the top of the key, he's probably their best playmaker, kinda similar to what happens in Chicago with Noah. The biggest surprise in his season is his jumper, he finally developed as a shooter as he was expected to earlier in his career now that everybody had probably lost hopes. | {

He has a wife and a mistress - a psychologist girl who he carries around on business trips to regional centers and on poor hotels, because they have no other options for meetings. No wonder that a young woman is not satisfied with such a life, without any perspective whatsoever, and she is leaving our hero.
Further events develop rapidly and unexpectedly: a wife comes to the reception to the former mistress. It turns out that the wife was happy only when her husband had a mistress, and he was not at home. Business relations are established between women on this issue. In ignorance there is only a stingy merchant husband. | {

Description: Tokyo, 1934. Gang boss Arakawa is too ill and a successor must be named. The choice falls on Nakai, but being an outsider he refuses and suggests senior clansman Matsuda instead. But Matsuda is in jail and the elders won't wait for his release, so they appoint the younger and more malleable Ishido to take the reins. Clan honour and loyalties are severely tested when Matsuda is released, resulting in an increasingly violent internal strife. An atmospheric tale of gangland intrigue written by Kazuo Kasahara (Battles Without Honour and Humanity) and starring Tomisaburo Wakayama, (Lone Wolf and Cub, The Bounty Hunter Trilogy) and genre legend Koji Tsuruta, Big Time Gambling Boss is one of the all-time classics of the yakuza genre.

This title will be released in the US as well, so this edition should actually be Region AB. You can already pre order it from Diabolik or MVD's shop

It's also available to pre-order on amazon & I expect the price will drop in line with the Amazon.uk/Diabolik prices closer to the actual release date. Props to Francesco for starting a niche label in these times of dwindling physical media sales. You have to have a passion for the material because you sure aren't doing it for the profit. Hope to see more ninkyo-eiga films released from his new label in the not to distant future.

I love the fact they are releasing part 4 of a series. Don't get me wrong, there are several films in the Gambling Den series that are very good (I like part 6 in particular). But this recent "release them all or no purchase" attitude has been killing our chances of getting so many great films. Either a long series don't get released at all, or one series gets released and then we've reached the quota already. I'd much rather get 10 masterpieces from 10 different series than one 10 film series where half of the entries are mediocre.
Anyway, great to see this coming. I can finally retire my old Toei DVD.

I really enjoy Shiraishi's films. It's too bad, it's not going to be one of his works.

Radiance are releasing Kinji Fukasaku's superb Yakuza Graveyard (やくざの墓場 くちなしの花) (1976) in 2023 as revealed by their new trailer.

This is probably what Shiraishi was interviewed about.
One of Tetsuya Watari's best acting performances. Who can forget him snacking on a certain something...

As expected, the pre-order price on Amazon has dropped significantly and now cheaper than ordering direct from Radiance Films with international shipping.

The Rhino and the Odd Couple
By PLS
John Bolton, US ambassador to the UN, has been calling for radical reform of that body—when he hasn't been advocating its complete dissolution. Seems he's got company now. Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmedinejad also thinks the UN is an anachronism.
The two do disagree on an interesting point. Ahmedinejad thinks the US and Britain have too much power—eg, the veto on the Security Council. Bolton thinks the US has too little power to work its will through the UN.
There's another divergence. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has proposed a public debate and/or conversation with his American counterpart. George W. Bush's official position, one frequently restated by John Bolton, is that he doesn't want any conversations with Iran, let alone its president, not even about nuclear issues, until Iran capitulates to American demands to turn off those centrifuges—although some more or less unacknowledged conversations at variously lower levels have perforce been taking place.
It's a headline grabber, that Bush-Ahmadinejad public debate proposal. So were the Ahmedinejad meetings with Hugo Chavez of Venezuela.
A year ago Western commentators were astonished that such a lightweight had been elected president of Iran. (JB and GWB note: elected. In a process deemed essentially fair by international observers. That's called democracy, more or less.) Now Margaret Warner of the PBS Newshour with Jim Lehrer is reporting from Iran that Ahmadinejad has astonishing charisma, speaks effectively without a script and performs like a pro during news conferences. Imagine, then, what would happen if George Bush actually accepted the debate challenge. He'd be creamed.
Last night I was bored and restless and generally annoyed with the world and my life, so I checked out the TV schedule and discovered that I could watch Hatari, starring John Wayne, in Tanzania, as a supplier of live African animals for zoos. During my two years with USIS in Tanzania, I spent a lot of time in the bush, so this was the perfect antidote to my anomie: elephants, giraffes, wildebeeste, rhinos, leopards, ostriches, the works.
In the film, Wayne and company go bumpety-bump chasing after the animals in rattletrap vehicles, usually with Wayne in the super-macho fender-affixed lasso chair. Most animals just run like the dickens, but the big black rhino has another idea. He's huge. He's got horns and a hide like armor. So he charges the pickup. Thunk. And thunk. And thunk again. All I could think was, "Poor stupid rhino!" He's caught, of course.
Today, learning of Ahmadinejad's impossible but inspired proposition, I recalled that rhino and his name was George W. Bush, the tough guy who is equally out of touch with the realities of our complex and changing world. America is big and strong, according to his policy people, so we go charging into situations without thinking. Afghanistan. Thunk! Iraq. Thunk! Both situations misjudged, as were the "soulful" Putin and his Russia. No thunk there, yet, thank goodness!
And a thunk would be equally stupid in Iran.
Like many people, I couldn't understand why the United States didn't restrain Israel last month. Then I read Seymour Hersh in the New Yorker. Hezbollah had munitions bunkers and tunnels in Southern Lebanon. Iran has probably put some of its nuclear installations underground. So Lebanon was a trial run, he reports. Using US bombs! Click! But Israel's version of "shock and awe" failed to do the job and, worse, turned into a public relations disaster. The same would happen should the US decide to bomb Iran.
The rhino is an endangered species. Let's hope that the Bush backers in the Congress are, too.

Born on June 4, 1913 in Mehta family of Kishtwar in Jammu and Kashmir, Krishana was married to Duni Chand Gupta of the same locality who later on became Wazir-e-Wazarat ( Deputy Commissioner) of Muzaffarabad, which now is in PoK. However, destiny had other plans. When India got freedom, Duni Chand was killed in violence thereby making Krishna as an unfortunate widow taking refuge in the refugee camps along with her children. But instead of losing in self pity the great lady took up the task of rehabilitation of other women and children suffering in the camps.
It was in Kurukheshtra that Krishna Mehta came in contact with Pandit Jawahar Lal Nehru, then Prime Minister of India. Realizing Krishna's tremendous will power and her commitment towards human cause, Nehru invited her to Delhi and made her as his sister. This was an important event that led Krishna on to greater purpose of life. With PM's support, Krishna Mehta established Gandhi Sewa Sadan and Khadi Gram Udyog Sangh dedicated to the economic development of women particularly in Jammu and Kashmir. Today, Gandhi Sewa Sadan has over sixty branches across the State and a couple of them are in the Union capital.
Krishna was not just a social worker; she was worker with vision and commitment. She had a personal experience of suffering out of which was born the zeal to work hard for the alleviation of poverty. It was in fact her need to do something positive to help those who needed help.
Realizing that the process of social work demanded coordinated action of several fields, Krishna Mehta joined active politics and was made Rajya Sabha member from the State. This way she achieved distinction to become the first woman MP from Jammu and Kashmir. This cold have been a life time achievement for any body else, but for Krishna Mehta it was only a means towards a more practical end- the development of her native place. Krishna Mehta, thus was instrumental in bringing Indira Gandhi then PM to Kishtwar thereby acquainting her with the problems of Kishtwar.
Krishna Mehta had an innate urge for spiritual life. In 1972, she met Baba Magan a Gujrati Saint of great reverence and made him her Guru (spiritual mentor) and remained in his Ashram for ten years living a perfect life of renunciation. Krishna Mehta traveled intensively both in and outside the country. She wrote many articles especially on Pandit Nehru. She also wrote a book on the crisis in Kashmir.
Krishna Mehta lived a useful, inspiring and satisfied life. She passed away on October 20, 1993 at the age of 80. As she wished, her ashes were immersed in Chanderbhaga (Chinab) near Kishtwar town in whose heart beats life and works of Krishna Mehta quietly but surely live on.

Strong, powerful, masculine. Smells good, but may be too strong for some people. Projection is great. Longevity is great.
Aramis is a strong leathery patchouli that is too grandpa-ish for me.
If someone is wearing this cologne, you're going to know it when they walk in the room. Longevity and sillage is monsterous.
I'm a younger man, and I found this scent to feel a bit too old for me. However, it's a great scent and my girlfriend loves it!
This is a really good scent. I got a lot of compliments in the office. But surprisingly some people don't like it, so use in moderation.
I received a bottle of Aramis for Christmas a couple of years ago. I have tried it before I received that bottle cause my Dad used to have it and would wear it at times. It's a classic wood/herbal fragrance to me. I used to like it a little more years ago until now. I thought it used to be made here in the USA. Now it's made in Switzerland from looking at the bottom of the bottle. I can smell the musk,patchuli, woods, and herbs when I wear it. I just don't care much for it. This fragrance is to be worn for Fall and Winter on special occasions. | {

* Appearances (Goals)
Leslie Jenkin Jones (1 July 1911 - January 1981) is a former Welsh professional footballer
Born in Aberdare, as a youngster Jones began his career at his local side Aberdare Athletic, while also working at his fathers butchers shop, before signing for Cardiff City in 1929, He made his debut in a 1-0 defeat during a South Wales derby against Swansea Town. Despite Cardiff struggling and falling down the league during his time there he scored 31 goals in 142 league games. He eventually moved to Coventry City in January 1934 and went on to score 27 goals in his first full season for the club, which earnt him the first of his eleven caps for Wales. His impressive scoring record at Highfield Road - seventy goals in 138 games - meant Jones attracted interest from various clubs and Coventry managed to resist a £7,000 offer from Tottenham Hotspur but couldn't resist an even higher offer from Arsenal in 1937.
Jones made his Arsenal debut against Grimsby Town on 6 November 1937, scoring in a 2-1 defeat, and he helped the club to a league title in the 1937-38 season;[1] Jones played as a withdrawn inside forward for Arsenal and consequently scored fewer goals – just three in 31 appearances that season. He won a Charity Shield medal the following season but his career at Arsenal was limited due to the outbreak of World War II.
During the war he served in the Royal Air Force but still found time to play 71 wartime games and five wartime internationals for Wales. By the time the war ended, he was 35 and his final game for Arsenal was against West Ham United in the FA Cup on 9 January 1946. In total he played 50 times for the club, scoring three goals. In June 1940, he was one of five Arsenal players who guested for Southampton in a victory over Fulham at Craven Cottage.[2]
He was released by Arsenal on a free transfer in 1946 and joined Swansea Town as a player-coach. His stay at the Vetch Field was short and he left to take over as player-manager at non-league side Barry Town before returning to the Football League with his final club, Brighton & Hove Albion, before retiring.
In June 1950 he was appointed manager of Scunthorpe United, becoming the clubs first Football League manager and guided them to a twelfth place finish in their first season in the League. Towards the end of the season his relationship with the board detioriated and he resigned at the end of the season.[3]

As a nation we are becoming increasingly aware of the dangers of hearing loss and the fact that in almost all cases, once the hearing is damaged, the damage is irreversible.
If you are concerned about your hearing, whether or not you work in a noisy environment, you should speak to your doctor about getting a hearing test. This is the best way to discover if you have a problem with your hearing and if so, the likely causes and potential treatments available.
If it is proved that your hearing has been damaged, there are various types of hearing aids now available to help with day-to-day life and reduce the impact of hearing loss on those who suffer from it.
What if your hearing has been damaged through your employment?
As with all aspects of working life, employers have a duty to minimise the risk of illness or injury to any of their workers. This includes managing the risk of hearing loss in employees. This can be done in many ways including reducing the exposure to noise, reducing noise levels, providing suitable protective equipment to minimise the danger, and implementing suitable procedures to avoid the dangers in the first place. If an employer fails to act appropriately, then you could well be entitled to make a claim for compensation. Contact one of our highly trained solicitors today to find out if we can help you get the compensation you deserve. Calls are free, and you are under no obligation to continue with a case if you chose not to do so. | {

Out of Dry Shampoo or baby powder? Dip a big fluffy brush in to your translucent powder and dust it over your oily roots, massage as you would with a dry shampoo and repeat process if necessary until satisfied with the results.
Ever seen an armpit that needs exfoliating? Face scrubs actually work quite well here, they are good for the soft skin under there.
If your cheeks are flushed use a bold lipstick, it'll distract from your cheeks.
Accidentally get mascara on your eyelid and it's threatening to ruin your eyeshadow? Don't wipe it away instantly, let it dry completely before taking a cotton tip, placing it over the mascara smudge and twisting the cotton bud gently. It should loosen and lift the mascara without ruining the hard work you put in to your eyeshadow.
Short lashes? Apply mascara and dust baby powder or translucent powder over the tips of your lashes with a small fluffy brush or cotton tip, apply another coat of mascara and be glad you didn't spend $20 on that lash fiber crap.
Baby oil, conditioner or coconut oil make great shaving lubricants when you're in a pinch (even when you're not, they are still great).
If your polish is chipped and you don't have time to fix it; apply a glitter coat or crackle over the top to mask the mess.
If your roots are growing out and you don't have time to colour; use an eyeshadow of the same colour to touch them up in a pinch. Avoid the shimmer of course.

Brilliant tips hon - I can't tell you how much of a blessing it is to find them all on the one page! And I'm in awe of your blogmas posts - I'm struggling to put together two in a week, but one every day is PHENOMENAL!
Thank you Kat hun :) Blogmas has actually been quite easy, it's only been the last few days that I've had a hard time pulling them together. I think next year I'll start planning early in November and it won't be an issue at all. | {

Thank you for making MELT 2010 such a success. We had a great turnout and an even better technical program. If you check the Program page, you will find the presentations from our sessions. Some pictures of the event will be forthcoming!
We have a wonderful technical program as well as as an industrial discussion panel this year. Please visit our Program Page to get more information!
Location-awareness is a key component for achieving context-awareness. Recent years have witnessed an increasing trend of location-based services and applications. In most cases, however, location information is limited by the accessibility to Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS), largely unavailable for indoor or underground facilities and unreliable in urban environments. Much research has been done in both the sensor network community and the ubiquitous computing community to provide techniques for localization and tracking in hybrid or GNSS-challenged environments. Novel applications based on ad-hoc localization and real-time tracking of mobile entities are growing as a result of these technologies. This workshop is our opportunity to bring together both the academic and industrial research communities to discuss challenging and open problems, to evaluate various approaches, to bridge the gap between theory and applications, and to envision new research opportunities in MELT.
All papers underwent a rigorous review process, which entailed each paper being reviewed by at least three program committee members. As a result of these reviews and a careful evaluation by the workshop co-chairs, 8 high-quality papers were finally selected. Both theoretical research driven by applications and system implementation with theoretical foundations will be discussed, spanning wireless and other localization technologies as well as localization data analysis and mining. This interactive and interdisciplinary workshop will have a combination of technical presentations, industrial panel, and discussions.
We wish to thank all the authors who honored MELT 2010 by submitting papers to the workshop. Special thanks also to the Program Committee members for their invaluable work and responsiveness under really tight deadlines. Finally, we would like to thank the IEEE MASS 2010 workshop chairs Christine Pépin and Cédric Westphal for giving us the opportunity to organize the workshop, and the whole IEEE MASS 2010 Organizing Committee for their impeccable support.
We sincerely hope that you'll enjoy the program! | {
