Raden Ajeng Kurnianingrat Sastrawinata (4 September 1919 – 18 October 1993), more commonly known mononymously as Kurnianingrat, was an Indonesian educator and pioneer of the country's curriculum for teaching English as a foreign language. She was deputy director of Indonesia's English Language Inspectorate, a branch of the Ministry of Education, Instruction, and Culture, from 1953 to 1956. Later, she served as the head of the English studies department at the University of Indonesia. Born to an aristocratic Sundanese family—her father the regent of Ciamis in West Java (then part of the Dutch East Indies colony) and her mother a schoolteacher from nearby Garut—Kurnianingrat attended Dutch-language schools and boarded with Dutch and Indo-European families. After high school, she graduated from teacher training schools with a teaching diploma, specializing in psychology. Her first teaching assignment, in 1938, was in Batavia (now Jakarta), where she first learned about the growing Indonesian nationalist movement. During and immediately following the Japanese occupation of the Indies, she worked and lived in Yogyakarta and was witness to and a participant in the Indonesian National Revolution. There, she met Indonesian prime minister Ali Sastroamidjojo, whom she would marry in 1970. Two of her students, Daoed Joesoef and Nugroho Notosusanto, became ministers of education. Kurnianingrat spent time abroad to further her education; first, a one-year study in Sydney to learn about Australia's education system, then two years at Cornell University in the United States to complete a Master of Arts degree in English literature. She formed friendships with a number of foreign scholars of Indonesia, including Herbert Feith and his wife, Betty, Ailsa Thomson Zainuddin, and George McTurnan Kahin. Because of her experience working with the Feiths and Zainuddin, who were among Australia's first volunteers working on assignments for the Indonesian government, she became an early supporter of the Australia's international volunteering programs. Biography Early life, family, and education Kurnianingrat was born in Ciamis, a town near the border of West Java and Central Java, on 4 September 1919. Her father was Raden Adipati Aria Sulaeman Sastrawinata, a Sundanese aristocrat who was appointed the (regent) of Ciamis by administrators of the Dutch East Indies colony that included Java. He married Suhaemi, a schoolteacher from Garut and the daughter of a local landowner, after the death of his first wife from dysentery. Because his first wife did not bear any children, Sastrawinata named the first child from this marriage Kurnia, meaning gift. The name was later appended with , indicating aristocratic descent. Suhaemi, on the other hand, was not of noble birth and, therefore, could not take the title Raden Ayu and become the principal wife of the regent. Ten days after Kurnianingrat's birth, her father married Kancananingrat, the widowed daughter of the regent of Sumedang, and she became his Raden Ayu. Kancananingrat treated Kurnianingrat like her own child and administered the affairs of the household. Meanwhile, Kurnianingrat and her birth mother lived in a separate house from the , the residence of the regent and the Raden Ayu. She was always welcome at the kabupaten and visited daily for a few hours, often accompanying her father on inspection tours of the regency. A brother was born in 1924, and two sisters in 1932 and 1934. Kurnianingrat began attending the village school at age three or four. In the following year, she was sent to nearby Tasikmalaya to live with an Indo-European family. This enabled her to learn Dutch, which promised opportunities for better education and employment during the colonial era. By age five, her knowledge of the language was sufficient for her to enter a European primary school in second form. She was then sent to Bandung at age seven to enter a school run by the Ursuline order. Having found no friends at school, she often visited the movie theater, learning German and improving her spoken English by watching foreign films. After completing junior high school, she attended the Indo-European Society's teacher training school () in Bandung. By then, her father had retired as regent and was renting a villa in the city, allowing Kurnianingrat to live with family during the school term. She followed the training course with a more advanced two-year course, which allowed her to earn a (head teacher) certificate. During this time, she also taught part time at a girls' school. Early career and wartime activities In 1938, Kurnianingrat began her career teaching third grade at a Dutch-Chinese primary school in Glodok, the Chinese district of the colonial capital, Batavia. A colleague from Sumatra who taught sixth grade, Dahlan Abdullah, introduced her to the Indonesian nationalist movement opposing colonial rule. Through him, she became aware of injustices committed by the Dutch and discovered that most native Indonesians were not allowed admission at European primary schools like she was. At the request of her father, she was later transferred by the Ministry of Education to Purwakarta to teach at a European primary school. With the school being closer to home, her sister and some of her young nephews and nieces were enrolled there and taught by Kurnianingrat. War soon broke out in Europe, and, as Germany began an invasion of the Netherlands, the school's headmaster left to join the defense effort. Kurnianingrat, as the next most qualified teaching staff, replaced him as headmaster, to the displeasure of the other teachers and the local colonial supervisor. However, with the prospect of a Japanese invasion of the Indies becoming more likely following their attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941, the school soon closed as Dutch families began leaving for Australia and elsewhere. Kurnianingrat also evacuated to the countryside with her family, and, by March 1942, Japanese forces occupied Purwakarta. The invasion caused her father to lose his pension from the Dutch colonial administration, so Kurnianingrat once again sought work in Batavia, by then renamed Jakarta by the Japanese military administration, after several months of unemployment. There, she reunited with her former colleague, Dahlan Abdullah, whom the Japanese had installed as the temporary head of municipal administration because of his anti-Dutch views. He offered her employment at the municipal office, though her salary was very small. Later, she applied at the Japanese Ministry of Education for an opening for a psychology teacher position at a Girls' Teacher Training School () in Yogyakarta. She first became interested in psychology as a student at the Indo-European Society teacher training school. In Yogyakarta, Kurnianingrat observed that residents were regularly urged to speak the still-developing Indonesian language instead of a foreign language. As a frequent speaker of Dutch, she knew very little Indonesian, yet it was the primary medium of instruction at the school where she had to teach. A colleague had to translate her lessons into Indonesian, and she would memorize them for classes. As the economy worsened during the Japanese occupation, Kurnianingrat bartered batik cloth and sold her jewelry to support her family members' education. She was vacationing with family in Purwakarta when news of Japan's surrender to western Allies in 1945 reached the Indies. Days later, news of nationalist leaders Sukarno and Mohammad Hatta proclaiming the independence of Indonesia reached Yogyakarta through Australian radio broadcasts. Allied forces arrived in September to restore Dutch control, prompting the newly-formed republican government to relocate to Yogyakarta, bringing with them government officials, military commanders, foreign dignitaries, and journalists. In 1946, Kurnianingrat began teaching English at a senior high school and also reading English-language broadcasts for the Voice of Free Indonesia radio station. She and a fellow teacher, Utami Soerjadarma, were recruited to attend many state dinners at the presidential palace because not many Indonesians could speak English with foreign guests at the time. She hoped that, by attending the dinners, "I would help dispel the image of Indonesians being ignorant half savages." In 1947, Kurnianingrat was selected as a secretary for the Indonesian delegation to the United Nations-brokered Renville negotiations with the Dutch. After Dutch forces abrogated a ceasefire agreement and captured Yogyakarta in 1948, she assisted the Indonesian resistance by allowing guerrilla fighters to use her home as a supply depot. Because the attack led to a food shortage in the city, she and other women operated clandestine "rice kitchens" to feed families who had no food reserves. She also continued teaching students in secret with other high school teachers and also conducted administrative work for the Indonesian Red Cross Society. Despite inspections by Netherlands Indies Civil Administration soldiers of her home, her clandestine activities were never exposed. By 1949, the attack had turned world opinion against the Dutch, who were then forced to release the captured Indonesian leaders and return to the negotiating table, leading to the recognition of Indonesian sovereignty in December. Studies abroad and return to Indonesia As part of Australia's postwar assistance package to Asian countries, the Office of Education began offering scholarships to Indonesians in 1949. Being interested in the future of education in Indonesia, Kurnianingrat applied to study educational psychology and received an endorsement from the Indonesian government. The scholarship offered to her was for a one-year study in Sydney in the subject of her choosing, so she decided to study the Australian education system. She departed for Sydney in November and was received by the Indonesian , Usman Sastroamidjojo, upon arrival. Studying under Professor William O'Neill of the University of Sydney, she visited schools throughout the country, finding few differences between Australian schools and Indonesia's Dutch schools. She was, however, surprised by the number of single-sex schools and overall sex segregation in Australian life. The New South Wales Teachers Federation made her an honorary member. Her travels also took her to Canberra, Melbourne, and Tasmania. She returned to Indonesia in December 1950 and was warmly welcomed by education ministry officials eager to hear about her experience in Australia. She was appointed the head of a teacher training school () and tasked with transforming the Dutch school into a "republican institution". By 1951, English had replaced Dutch as the primary foreign language of the Indonesian government, and an English Language Inspectorate (, IPBI) was established in 1953. Kurnianingrat applied to join the inspectorate and was accepted as its deputy director. She was joined by its director, Fritz Wachendorff, and a staffer, Harumani Rudolph-Sudirdjo. IPBI enlisted the help of the British Council and the Ford Foundation in planning a syllabus for teaching English at post-primary institutions. It also managed a two-year course for training English teachers. In 1951, Australian volunteers began arriving under the Volunteer Graduate Scheme (VGS), working on assignments for the Indonesian government, including at IPBI. Kurnianingrat supervised and built friendships with some these volunteers. IPBI disbanded in 1956, with Rudolph-Sudirdjo giving birth to her first child and Wachendorff accepting a faculty position at the University of Indonesia. Kurnianingrat traveled to the United States to study English literature and linguistics at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York after receiving a scholarship from the Ford Foundation. She spent two years at the university and completed a Master of Arts thesis on the history of William Shakespeare in Indonesia. Her thesis explored the origins of Komedi Stambul, a form of ethnic folk theatre from the late colonial period, which performed adaptations of works such as Hamlet. Upon her return, she began teaching in the English studies department at the University of Indonesia, eventually becoming the head of the department in June 1960. The entry of English-language media in the late 1960s led to an increase in the number of Indonesians learning and using the language. Language schools teaching English and publishers releasing English textbooks flourished. Kurnianingrat, however, lamented the general low level of proficiency in English as few could afford the cost of private lessons. She received an offer from London-based Longman to publish a textbook, but she rejected it because the publisher did not want to print the author's name on the cover. A domestic publisher, Bhratara, published her textbook titled Practical Conversations in 1973. By 1974, Kurnianingrat had retired from teaching at the University of Indonesia. She taught privately in her later years, but by her 70s she would virtually lose her eyesight and could no longer write unaided. To compensate for this condition, she learned Braille. At the encouragement of Rudolph-Sudirdjo, Kurnianingrat began writing a memoir and included drafts among letters written to historian Ailsa Thomson Zainuddin between January 1991 and June 1993. The memoir is unfinished, and only nine chapters recounting her life through her 30s were completed before she fell ill and died on 18 October 1993. She lived in Cipinang Muara, Jakarta. Personal life In 1940, during Kurnianingrat's first teaching assignment in Batavia, she began a courtship with Jusuf Prawira Adiningrat, a law student. The two were introduced to each other through Toos Prawira Adiningrat, Jusuf's brother and a cousin of Kurnianingrat, with whom she had become a very close friend. During this time, she was living in the household of the (vice regent) of Weltevreden. As Jusuf's relationship with Kurnianingrat became more serious, he sought the permission of Kurnianingrat's father to marry her. The two became engaged following a formal proposal on his behalf by the regent and Raden Ayu of Cianjur, cousins of Jusuf. He then requested the Ministry of Education to transfer her assignment to Purwakarta, so she could be properly chaperoned. Jusuf visited her every weekend in Purwakarta, but when her family evacuated ahead of the Japanese invasion, she was forced to leave the city without him. Even after Japanese forces occupied Purwakarta, she did not hear from Jusuf, so she returned to search for him. There, she learned that he had been killed while en route to Purwakarta by villagers who had mistaken him as Chinese. Kurnianingrat later married the widowed former prime minister Ali Sastroamidjojo, whose wife had died several years prior. They had known each other since their time in Yogyakarta—her as a teacher and him as a republican leader—and often met during state functions. In a 1949 letter to Australian consul-general Charles Eaton, Ali, in his capacity as then-Minister of Education, praised Kurnianingrat as "one of the most qualified teachers in the English language in our secondary schools", endorsing her application to study in Australia. While those who knew Ali considered him a rigid man, she saw his humorous persona and often observed the respect that the people conferred upon him as an elder statesman. She encouraged him to complete a memoir, published in 1974. In the last three months of his life, Ali suffered from a lung disease. The two were married from 1970 until his death in 1975. Legacy Historian Ailsa Thomson Zainuddin viewed Kurnianingrat as a modern-day Kartini, the 19th-century Javanese aristocrat and advocate of women's education and emancipation. Kurnianingrat confessed in her later years that she had "learned to appreciate Kartini much more" through Zainuddin's writings. In an unpublished article written in 1980, she compared her own upbringing with Kartini's: During her time in Yogyakarta, Kurnianingrat was a witness to the events of the Indonesian National Revolution and regularly interacted with its leading figures, including President Sukarno and her future husband, Ali Sastroamidjojo. Historian Jean Gelman Taylor described her life as being "intimately connected with the creation of Indonesia". Her home in Gondokusuman regularly hosted visitors, family members, friends, and eventual refugees of Dutch military offensives. She formed friendships with Indonesian Red Cross official Paramita Abdurachman and American historian George McTurnan Kahin (then still a doctoral student). Later, she prevented Dutch authorities from seizing copies of speeches by Sukarno, Mohammad Hatta, and Mohammad Natsir—prepared for broadcasting in case of a Dutch attack on Yogyakarta—and helped Kahin smuggle them out of Indonesia. Among her students in Yogyakarta were future ministers of education, Daoed Joesoef and Nugroho Notosusanto. Australian scholar Herbert Feith, his wife, Betty, and Zainuddin were lifelong friends of Kurnianingrat. Feith arrived in indonesia in 1951 and was Australia's first volunteer in Indonesia. His wife and Zainuddin followed in July 1954 and worked at IPBI, where Kurnianingrat was deputy director, for eighteen months. Kurnianingrat's experience working with these three individuals made her an early supporter of the Australia's volunteers. Though conscious the pitfalls of international volunteering—paternalism exhibited by the sending country and poor understanding of local needs—she wrote in a 1959 opinion piece, "I can only say that I have a deep appreciation for the Volunteer Graduate Scheme and the way it tries to establish friendly relations with Indonesia."

webselectnews By JACK DURA The Bismarck Tribune BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) _ Walter and Lorraine Morlock loved to go to church, travel together and go camping. He was a sheet metal worker, an avid Minnesota Twins baseball fan, and a collector of coins and North Dakota centennial pins. She loved to sew and create things from fabric, and watch high school basketball games. The Bismarck Demons were her favorite team. The lifelong North Dakota couple held each other's hands in the Sanford Health COVID-19 unit, and died days apart from one another. ``They knew they were beside each other,'' daughter Kathy Roth said. Lorraine died Dec. 8 at age 89. Walter died Dec. 13 at age 92. They were married for 70 years. ``They were the foundation of our family,'' Roth said. Walter grew up in Pettibone. Lorraine came from nearby Tuttle. They met at a dance where he was playing accordion in a band. They loved living in Bismarck and attending Zion Lutheran Church. Pastor Tom Marcis said the couple regularly attended worship and Bible classes before they became more homebound and he would visit them monthly, The Bismarck Tribune reported. He knew the Morlocks more than 31 years, his entire time serving the church. He helped them grieve the loss of their son, Fred. Their faith was very serious for them, Marcis said. ``It was very meaningful for them when we were able to see them on a monthly basis, have a devotion and bring them the Lord's Supper because they very much missed the community of being in Bible class and being in worship with the rest of the congregation,'' he said. Roth said they were good parents who ``taught me to be a good, kind, honest person.'' ``We always felt safe. We never had to worry about food or clothing. They were both very thrifty,'' she said. ``They both come from sturdy German stock; incredibly hardworking people. ' They loved babies, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Two years ago, their family celebrated Walter's 90th birthday with food, relatives and a photo booth. ``Mom and Dad loved it,'' Roth said. The coronavirus pandemic prevented the family from celebrating the couple's 70th wedding anniversary. The Morlocks were living in a nursing home when Lorraine tested positive for the virus on Nov. 25. Four days later, Walter did, too. Roth said they might have contracted the coronavirus from an employee or another resident, but whatever the case, ``there is no blame.'' ``Bad things happen in this world, and (COVID-19 is) very contagious,'' she said. Her parents were hospitalized when they became quite ill. Roth said medical staff pushed their beds side by side in the COVID-19 unit so they could be together. Roth and her sister were able to be with their mom and dad and told them how much they loved them and what great parents they were. ``Seeing them side by side and seeing their coffins side by side at the internment, it gave us comfort knowing they were together again,'' Roth said. ``I think they would have liked it. We didn't like that they were gone, but I think they would like that they were together at the end.'' Their family held a viewing and an internment for them, which Roth, who lives in Iowa, watched on video while quarantining after being with her parents. A funeral will be held at a later date to celebrate the Morlocks' lives. Since their deaths, Roth keeps her parents' memories close. ``They're in my heart,'' she said. ``They're always in my heart. And I guess I would say treasure the ones you love now because you don't know what's going to happen tomorrow.'' By The Associated Press, Copyright 2019

Nov 30, 2017 3 min read Bolts Thursday Bolts: 11.30.17 Erik Horne recaps last night's brutal loss in Orlando: "Russell Westbrook was hunched over at the knees as his teammates walked by. Instead of walking out with them, he sat on the sidelines of the Amway Center a little longer. Before a 13-0 Magic fourth-quarter run that blasted the Thunder's reserves out of the Amway Center in a 121-108 Thunder loss Wednesday, Westbrook knew the Thunder lost the game well before that. Westbrook finished with a team-best 37 points and 11 rebounds, but 20 of those points came in a desperation fourth quarter in which the Thunder dug itself a hole well before its ninth road loss of the season was complete." Dan Devine (Yahoo) on Russell Westbrook sitting dejected on the bench after the loss: "After the loss, Westbrook stopped on his way off the court and sat down on the bench, seemingly overcome with disappointment and frustration at the Thunder having lost their third straight game, and their fifth in six tries, to fall to 8-12 on the season." Antonio Daniels tore into the team on last night's Thunder Live: "There has to be some energy and passion that comes from someone in timeouts, after games, whether it's you going in the locker room and coaches are throwing stuff because frustration brings these sort of things. This is your job, this is your livelihood, and as an athlete when you are going through times like this you are representing your community, you are representing your city, you are representing your organization and it's embarrassing." Fred Katz on OKC again leaning on poor decision making: "Once again, the Thunder lost big to a team they should have beaten. Once again, they got away from ball movement as the game developed. Once again, they have their previously ingrained basketball habits to thank for it. It's something the now 8-12 Thunder have tried to improve on over the first quarter of the season. They haven't — because decision making is a skill, not a choice." Tim Bontemps (WaPo) on it being too early to panic for the Thunder: "The thought here is that the time to panic hasn't yet arrived. Sure, it would've been better for the Thunder to get off to a better start this season, and getting drilled by two bad teams – the Dallas Mavericks and the Magic – the past two games is disconcerting. But even after those games, the Thunder currently have the eighth-best net rating in the NBA – a rating better than all but the Golden State Warriors, Houston Rockets, San Antonio Spurs and Portland Trail Blazers in the Western Conference, and a better one than hot teams like the Cleveland Cavaliers and Philadelphia 76ers in the East." Some positive news — Aliko Carter (Forbes) on Carmelo Anthony's foundation finding footing in OKC: "I always wanted somebody to come back to my community, give back to my community when I was younger but that wasn't the case," Anthony said per NewsOK. "So now I'm in a situation that I'm successful, I'm blessed, that I can give back to these communities and touch these communities everywhere that I go." Anthony is currently set to bring his annual "Very Melo Christmas" event to OKC. Last year, the event in New York City brought dozens of underprivileged children from around the city to take in a move with the jovial forward."

According to Chico Police, a Chico High student spread threats that he was prepared to shoot up his school on Feb. 23. According to the incident report, students claimed the juvenile came to class stating "This is the day I'm going to shoot up the school." The juvenile was confronted by faculty, searched, but denied that such threats were ever made. No weapons were found on the student, yet a picture of the juvenile posing with a double barrel shotgun later surfaced from the Snapchat app, found by school faculty. This has become a common complaint recently with approximately four other cases occurring over the last six weeks, according to Sergeant Benjamin Love of the Chico Police Department. Love stated that school reaction has been to take a no-tolerance response towards even mild statements, in light of recent tragedies as in Parkland Florida where 17 students and adults were slaughtered on Feb. 14. In response, Chico High stated that no lockdown was necessary in response to the recent incident and any action taken against the student could not be released.

You Didn't Know Hummus Was Your Favorite Milkshake Flavor ... Until Now Hummus Milkshakes 16 December, 2018 by Najla Moussa Hummus is an Arabic dish made of chickpea paste. The word 'hummus' means chickpea in Arabic. Case closed. But whatever anyone else says about it or where they think it's from, there isn't a house in the Levant region that doesn't serve this creamy goodness – at breakfast, lunch and dinner. It's just a versatile staple and it's yummy enough to be eaten at all meals. It's used as a dip, with several topping variations; it's used as a base spread on sandwich; and sometimes it's just eaten straight out of a bowl. But Hummus shakes? I'm pretty sure Middle Eastern grandmothers are turning in their graves at the thought. But The Hummus & Pita Co., in Greenwich, New York, doesn't stop at making hummus the way Arabs prepare it. Nah. They've gone way out of left field with their Hummus creations. The shake was created by the founder of Hummus & Pita Co., Dave Pesso, who told Insider that his company likes to "think out of the box," and that he was interested in creating a hummus shake that was delicious, yet vegan. After tweaking it and offering free samples to lots of people who thought they were being "Punk'd" because they couldn't believe how good it was, he decided it was time to start selling it. The basic ingredients are: hummus, dates, bananas, almond milk and Tahini. Then he's got the flavors: Strawberry, Chocolate, Pistachio, and Butter Pecan. Incidentally, he also makes hummus deserts in three flavors: chocolate, cookie dough and cake batter. We don't know whether to laugh or cry. But if it ever comes to town, I know I'm standing in line to try it.

NOT content with just mapping our streets, Google is now monitoring toxic gases. Google's Street View cars have been fitted with sensors to build up a map of toxic hotspots in a bid to clear the air. The air quality project, started in 2015, has already driven 14,000 miles in the US with a prototype map revealing how it'd look online. The colour scheme of red, orange and yellow is carried over from Google's traffic service. While zooming in reveals where measurements are highest with information tags identifying why that's the case. Nitric oxide, nitrogen dioxide and carbon black emitted by cars and trucks are all measured by the Street View car. It's the latest advancements of the Street View car that first started mapping our roads in 2007. Results so far show residents at junctions and crossroads are exposed to levels of harmful gases five to eight times higher than nearby streets. And Google hopes the findings will help future town planners improve road layouts to minimise pollution. A Google statement read: "With nearly 3 million measurements and 14,000 miles captured in the course of a year, this is one of the largest air quality datasets ever published, and demonstrates the potential of neighborhood-level air quality mapping. "This map makes the invisible, visible, so that we can breathe better and live healthier. "It helps us understand how clean (or not clean) our air is, so that we can make changes to improve it." There's no indication of when the technology might be rolled out in the UK. Currently the UK relies on government-run, fixed position air quality monitoring stations but in the first quarter of this year, 26 of these sites breached EU pollution limits - the highest in a decade. The new government faces pressure to hit targets soon with threats of a diesel scrappage scheme still looming.

PNC Foundation, Donorschoose.Org Team up to Fund Hundreds of Pre-K Requests for Resources, Experiences .@PNCBank Foundation and @DonorsChoose alliance, gifting $5M to enhance learning in pre-K classrooms http://bit.ly/2oxZXj6 DonorsChoose.org will expand to include requests from Head Start teachers More than 200,000 students to benefit from the grant, enhanced classroom resources Tuesday, April 4, 2017 - 9:20am NEWSROOM: PNC Financial Services Group CAMPAIGN: PNC: Commitment to Early Childhood Education CONTENT: Press Release PITTSBURGH and NEW YORK, April 4, 2017 /3BL Media/ – The PNC Foundation today funded hundreds of pre-K classroom requests as part of a new $5 million grant to DonorsChoose.org to provide teachers with enhanced classroom resources and experiences to inspire their students' love of learning. Today's donation of $504,000 flash funded 849 projects in public and charter pre-K classrooms in 22 states and Washington, D.C. where The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. ("PNC") conducts business. The PNC Foundation entered the grant-funded alliance to further the mission of PNC Grow Up Great®, a $350 million, multi-year bilingual initiative in early childhood education. The PNC Foundation's gift to support pre-K classrooms also enables DonorsChoose.org to expand its education funding platform to include project requests from Head Start teachers for the first time. DonorsChoose.org is an online charity that connects individual donors with classrooms in need, and this is the first expansion to reach a new audience of teachers in DonorsChoose.org's 17-year history. "We're thrilled to be a part of PNC's longstanding commitment to early childhood learning," said Charles Best, DonorsChoose.org founder. "Their generosity will help us expand the DonorsChoose.org platform to serve Head Start classrooms nationwide, ensuring that many more pre-K teachers have resources they need to give their students a solid educational foundation." Teacher requests for educational resources range from books to art supplies, science equipment, field trips and more, according to DonorsChoose.org. Frequent requests include technology and visits from specialized educators. A recent study conducted by the National Head Start Association showed that 94 percent of teachers say they need more resources to enrich the classroom, but 84 percent say they are unable to fund experiences they want to provide. The study also noted that 93 percent of those queried either considered buying or bought classroom supplies out of their own pockets; 88 percent reported spending up to $500. "Head Start supports our nation's most vulnerable children by offering a comprehensive, high quality early-learning experience that prepares them for kindergarten and strengthens family participation in their children's learning," said Yasmina S. Vinci, executive director, National Head Start Association. "Our research shows almost all Head Start teachers are spending their own dollars on basic resources for students. This is a great opportunity to empower Head Start teachers to secure the resources needed to maximize the Head Start advantage." The PNC Foundation Will Match Donations to Pre-K Requests Following the flash funding today, the PNC Foundation grant will also be used to match, dollar-for-dollar, donations that support pre-K and Head Start projects listed on DonorsChoose.org in the PNC footprint, subject to restrictions and a maximum dollar amount. The match is designed to encourage others to help support preschool programs in public or charter schools and Head Start classrooms. The duration of the match campaign depends on the number of project requests and donations. For specific guidelines on the match offer, visit donorschoose.org. "PNC's work with DonorsChoose.org reflects our commitment to helping children get a strong start in life," said PNC Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer William S. Demchak. "This program will directly improve pre-K teachers' ability to help more students reach their full potential and, through their successes, will strengthen the communities we serve." Also, the PNC Foundation will provide 14,500 PNC employees who volunteered with Grow Up Great in 2016 a $50 DonorsChoose.org electronic gift card that will enable the employee to select a classroom project for those funds. Since Grow Up Great's founding, PNC employees have logged more than 652,000 hours for the initiative through a progressive policy that allows 40 hours of paid time off each year to volunteer. Volunteers have collected more than 930,000 books, art supplies, hats, mittens and other items that have been donated for use in classrooms or for the personal well-being of preschool students. "Our employees are a driving force behind Grow Up Great's success and impact," said Sally McCrady, president and chair of the PNC Foundation. "With this grant, we provide our employee volunteers another avenue to demonstrate PNC's continuing support of early childhood learning as a way to help children and families thrive." Teachers and donors should visit http://www.DonorsChoose.org for more information. About the Organizations DonorsChoose.org Founded in 2000 by a Bronx history teacher, DonorsChoose.org has raised more than $525 million for America's classrooms. Teachers come to DonorsChoose.org to request the materials and experiences they need most for their classrooms, and donors give to the projects that inspire them. More than 2.5 million people and partners have funded nearly 900,000 projects on the site, reaching 22 million students and making DonorsChoose.org the leading platform for supporting U.S. public schools. DonorsChoose.org is the only crowd funding platform that vets each request, delivers materials directly to schools, and captures the impact of every funded project with photos, thank yous, and a cost report showing how each dollar was spent. In 2014, DonorsChoose.org made the top 10 of Fast Company's list of the World's Most Innovative Companies, the first time a charity has received such recognition. National Head Start Association The National Head Start Association is a not-for-profit organization committed to the belief that every child, regardless of circumstances at birth, has the ability to succeed in school and in life. The opportunities offered by Head Start lead to healthier, empowered children and families, and stronger, more vibrant communities. NHSA is the voice for more than 1 million children, 200,000 staff and 1,600 Head Start grantees in the United States. Visit www.nhsa.org and follow @NatlHeadStart for more information. PNC Foundation The PNC Foundation, which receives its principal funding from The PNC Financial Services Group (www.pnc.com), is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization that actively supports organizations that provide services for the benefit of communities in which it has a significant presence. The PNC Foundation focuses its philanthropic mission on early childhood education and community and economic development, which includes the arts and culture. Through Grow Up Great, its signature cause that began in 2004, PNC has created a bilingual $350 million, multi-year initiative to help prepare children from birth to age 5 for success in school and life.

Very similar to this post, How to symmetrically implement serialize and deserialize template functions in C++ For now I only need to support the following types boolean, double, int ,long, String , array and ArrayList, and allow arbitrary combinations such as int[][][][][], ArrayList<ArrayList<int[]>>, etc. Serializer.java: import java.util.ArrayList; public interface Serializer { static String toJson(boolean value) { return String.valueOf(value); } static String toJson(double value) { return String.valueOf(value); } static String toJson(int value) { return String.valueOf(value); } static String toJson(long value) { return String.valueOf(value); } static String toJson(final String value) { return "\"" + value + "\""; } static <T> String toJson(final T value) { return String.valueOf(value); } static <T> String toJson(final T[] value) { final StringBuilder result = new StringBuilder("["); for (final T i : value) { result.append(toJson(i)); result.append(','); } if (value.length > 0) result.delete(result.length() - 1, result.length()); result.append(']'); return result.toString(); } static <T> String toJson(final ArrayList<T> value) { final StringBuilder result = new StringBuilder("["); for (final T i : value) { result.append(toJson(i)); result.append(','); } if (value.size() > 0) result.delete(result.length() - 1, result.length()); result.append(']'); return result.toString(); } } Unit tests: import org.junit.Test; import java.util.Arrays; import static org.junit.Assert.assertEquals; public class SerializerTest { @Test public void primitiveToJsonTest() { assertEquals("true", Serializer.toJson(true)); assertEquals("123.0", Serializer.toJson(123.000)); assertEquals("123", Serializer.toJson(123)); assertEquals("123", Serializer.toJson(123L)); assertEquals("\"123\"", Serializer.toJson("123")); } @Test public void containerToJsonTest() { System.out.println(Serializer.toJson(new int[]{1,2,3,4,5})); // not correct ! assertEquals("[1, 2, 3, 4, 5]", Serializer.toJson(Arrays.asList(1,2,3,4,5))); assertEquals("[[1, 2, 3, 4, 5], [6, 7, 8, 9, 10]]", Serializer.toJson(Arrays.asList(Arrays.asList(1,2,3,4,5), Arrays.asList(6,7,8,9, 10)))); } } The only problem is about arrays, it seems Java will treat T[] as T. Any ideas? A: The array case you have implemented only covers object arrays (e.g. Integer[]), you'll need to handle int[] and other primitive array types separately -- just like you handle int etc. This is a problem only for the first level. In the case of int[][] etc., the "outer" array is an object array, as int[] is an Object so it's sufficient to cover one level. A: Only reference types can be generic, for example, C<T>, both C and T should be reference types. if T[] matches to int[], then T will be int which is a primitive type, so T[] won't match int[], instead it will match T. This is the reason Serializer.toJson(new int[]{1,2,3,4,5}) will call static <T> String toJson(final T value) So the right way is to change new int[]{1,2,3,4,5} to new Integer[]{1,2,3,4,5}), since Integer is a reference type, Integer[] can match to T[]. By only using templates, you're not able to write toJson() like in C++, because C++'s template is more powerful at compile time. You have to use both templates and reflection to achieve the same goal.

Mommy, can I have a dinosaur? It looks like a plant-eater. Surely it'll eat less than that pony I've been asking for! I tend to think that there might be a lot more takers to wear free clothes nowadays ... except it's so hard for the mailman to find the right alley and cardboard box. If only this could solve the clothing shortage! Seeing a guy in a strange suit pouring a blood-red decoction and claiming it's "Miracle Aid" seems a little sacrilegious. The "instant" part sounds like an additional jab at my Catholic friends. A 1966 ad for a teen-oriented comic shows another facet of the "grown-ups don't get it" conundrum. Maybe the creepiest part is Sylvester, who loves having Scooter as his "disco-buddy." The limerick may be a little lame, but I still say that the world can never have enough Go-Go Checks. Now we know the origin of all of those bad Groucho-Marx glasses! Alternatively, if Roy Kroc had not bought one of these machines back in 1966, the world wouldn't now be overrun with about 13 billion crappy plastic toys. Once in a McDonald's Happy Meals box -- forever under your bare foot at two in the morning! See you next Monday. Stay silly! After all, our elected officials might need someone to take up the slack!

Presented By White Sox Insiders SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — What exactly will the White Sox do this offseason? If you have access to some truth serum, you've got a decent shot at finding out. Despite the seemingly public nature of the White Sox pursuit of Manny Machado last winter, Rick Hahn doesn't really talk about specific targets. So there was no word from the general manager Tuesday on whether there actually exist attempts to lure Anthony Rendon, Gerrit Cole, Stephen Strasburg or your heretofore unnamed favorite free agent to the South Side. But there was one big takeaway from Hahn's roughly 45-minute session with reporters at the GM meetings: No move is off the table for the White Sox this winter. We've long analyzed whether Player X fits better than Player Y, whether the White Sox are looking for a long-term piece or should be targeting short-term pieces, whether it makes any sense to pursue a player who plays a position the White Sox already have spoken for, et cetera, et cetera. Well forget about all those disclaimers. There seems to be no door Hahn's front office is going to close in the name of improving this team. Just go down the list of potential additions the White Sox could make this winter, and you'll see what I mean. Short-term additions are on the table Are the White Sox, who have long touted the importance of long-term fits, still shying away from shorter-term additions? No. Long-term additions are better, but … "We're getting closer to the point where it makes more sense to have one- or two-year fixes in place. Ideally, we want to find a way to add to the core, guys that are going to be here for a long time and continue to grow with what we've already accumulated. In reality, that's a little easier said than done, so some of the improvements may come on a shorter-term basis. "Yeah, we've gotten to that point where it does make some sense to add a couple of those types." Older veterans who haven't always seemed like the best fit for a young, rebuilding team? Now that the White Sox are nearing their transition from rebuilding to contending, those guys become realistic options. On the table. A trade for a player with one year of control (like Mookie Betts) is on the table Would the White Sox trade for a player with just one season of club control remaining on his contract? Yes. Guys with more control are better, but … "You want guys who are going to fit for the long-term," Hahn said. "We want to add a guy who's got a three-, four-, five-, six-year window of control, where he's going to continue to improve and he's going to grow with this young core. Those guys aren't so easy to acquire. "Short of that, we're going to look for guys who can certainly make you better in the short-term but ideally have a little back-end control. If those don't exist, if we don't come across the right fit, then we'd be open to a one-year improvement knowing that with where we've put ourselves economically, we might have the ability to retain that player when they hit free agency." Interesting, considering the Boston Red Sox might be dealing away Mookie Betts in their quest to get under the luxury tax. Betts seems set on heading to free agency after next season, meaning whichever team acquires him would only be doing so for one year. But the White Sox could use a player of that caliber in their lineup and a player of that caliber in right field. Sounds like they wouldn't exactly lack confidence in their ability to make his stay last more than just one year, either. On the table. A right fielder who plays suboptimal defense (like Nicholas Castellanos) is on the table Speaking of right field, just how important the White Sox add a right fielder who can play some defense? Very. But … "It's a legitimate consideration. We don't want to send somebody out there and it's going to, you know, tax our center fielder too much or tax the pitchers too much by not making plays," Hahn said. "So it's a legitimate consideration. "I pause half a step because we have discussed some pretty good offensive contributors who might not quite be up to snuff to what you want defensively that conceivably at some point in the offseason we wind up saying, 'They're the best option, so let's move on it.' So I don't want to just say it's the end all be all." Interesting, considering that the top outfielder on the free-agent market fits the description of someone who swings a difference-making bat but might not be "up to snuff" defensively. Castellanos' offense is not a question, and while his defense is probably not as bad as his reputation would lead you to believe, the reputation exists for a reason. Putting him in the same outfield with work-in-progress Eloy Jimenez would be less than ideal. But putting their bats in the same lineup might be too much to pass up. On the table. A professional DH (like Edwin Encarnacion) is on the table When adding a designated hitter, do the White Sox want someone who has plenty of DH-ing experience and could DH on an everyday basis? No. But … "We're not eager to get locked in with someone positionally who can only DH," Hahn said. "I think having a guy who can fill that role but also go out and play a defensive position would be a net greater benefit. We're talking about generic, hypothetical players. "If you're talking about a guy Nelson Cruz, yeah, you're OK with that guy just being a DH. If you're talking about lower caliber guy than that, then maybe you want them to add some defensive value, as well, to move them around the diamond and get other guys off their feet from time to time." Ideally, the White Sox would like some versatility. It'd be nice to have a Cruz-esque thumper at DH, too. One of those exists on the free-agent market in Edwin Encarnacion. On the table. A player who plays position the White Sox already have (like Anthony Rendon) is on the table And what about Rendon? He's the top position player on the free-agent market. He also plays third base, the same position Yoan Moncada does. Moncada had himself a terrific year playing third for the White Sox. Would they change his position for a second straight season? They don't want to. But … "In terms of moving Yoan, that's not a goal. We're not looking to move him," Hahn said. "We think he's a really, really good third baseman and will be that for a long time. "When we have players with flexibility and athleticism, you at least consider different permutations. We wouldn't be doing our job if there was a way for us to get better that we just ruled out because we have set at a certain spot." Interesting. Rendon seems like the type of player you rearrange your defense for. He's one of the best hitters in the game and would accomplish the White Sox goal of adding a premium talent to their rebuilding project. Moncada's versatility could play a big role in that. On the table. Top-of-the-rotation pitchers (like Gerrit Cole and Stephen Strasburg) are on the table What kind of starting pitchers are the White Sox looking for this winter? Top-of-the-rotation guys or middle-of-the-rotation guys? "We have room for improvement in both spots," Hahn said. "We'll continue the trade and free-agent market for all different types of starters, and any ones that we feel are going to make us better both short- and potentially long-term, we'll be in on." That's extraordinarily all-encompassing, but instead of viewing it as the White Sox not saying much, view it as there being many different possibilities. Cole and Strasburg fit the mold of top-of-the-rotation arms, as do fellow free agents Madison Bumgarner and Dallas Keuchel. Zack Wheeler and Jake Odorizzi might be more of the middle-of-the-rotation types. All of them and more are on the table. That's a breakneck assessment of the situations, but the takeaway remains: No move appears to be off the table for the White Sox in this stage of the offseason, and that ought to have folks looking for big splashes at every turn pretty excited.

The NM Political Report (http://nmpoliticalreport.com/2017/02/08/turnout-still-low-but-up-in-albuquerque-school-board-election/) Albuquerque Newsdesk Turnout still low, but up in Albuquerque school board election By Matthew Reichbach | February 8, 2017 Albuquerque Public Schools Yesterday Albuquerque voters turned out in (relatively) big numbers for the Albuquerque Public Schools Board election. In some districts of the city, voter turnout was nearly twice what it was in the 2013 election, the last time the same districts were up for grabs. Turnout ended at 6.6 percent of eligible voters for APS races. None of the school board races were particularly close, with all four winners clearing 50 percent in races with between four and six candidates. In District 1, incumbent Lorenzo Garcia won with 3,221 votes in the unofficial results, which came to 65.08 percent of the vote. The next closest candidate was Amy Legant, with 862 votes, or 17.42 percent. Garcia narrowly won in 2013 in a three-way race, getting 37.67 percent of the vote. In District 5, which became an open seat after Steven Michael Quezada moved to the Bernalillo County Commission, Candelaria "Candy" Patterson easily won with 1,023 votes, or 56.8 percent. Kayla Renee Marshall received the second most votes, with 484, or 26.87 percent. District 6 had the largest field, with six candidates vying for the position. Elizabeth A. Armijo outstripped the field, with 2,622 votes, or 53.27 percent. No other candidate received over 20 percent of the vote. In District 7, David Eugene Peercy won a third term, with 4,219 votes in the four-way race, good for 64.06 percent. Brian David Tierney received 1,767 votes, or 26.83 percent. CNM board Five seats on the Central New Mexico Community College board were also up for grabs. Pauline J. Garcia won in District 1, defeating Robert Chavez, Thomas E. Swisstack won in District 3 unopposed, Annette Chavez y de la Cruz won in District 4 over Melissa D. Armijo, Nancy A. Baca defeated Gina Naomi Dennis in District 5 and Michael J. Glennon defeated Harold W. Murphree in District 7. Turnout up Each APS board district received far more votes than in 2013. In District 3, 4,949 voters cast ballots this year compared to 2,604 in 2013. Write-in votes in the district will be added at the canvass. In District 5, 1,801 voters cast ballots in 2017, compared to 1,026 in 2013, though in 2013 there was only one candidate on the ballot. In District 6, 4,622 voters cast ballots this year compared to 3,637 in 2013. District 7 saw the largest increase with 6,616 voters casting ballots compared to 3,878 in 2013. All numbers in this year's election are unofficial. The Albuquerque Public Schools and Central New Mexico Community College Canvassing Board will meet on Friday. Update: Added the turnout percentage.

Why It Matters How Powerful Men Treat Women A rape allegation for Donald Trump, a domestic abuse allegation for Boris Johnson, and a filmed assault by Mark Field—all in the same week. By Laurie Penny "I don't think they want to hear about that kind of thing." That's how Boris Johnson, the man about to become the United Kingdom's prime minister, whether the public likes it or not, responded when a journalist obliquely invited him to reassure the public that he didn't beat up his girlfriend last Friday night. Occasionally this mendacious sack of personality disorders yells it like it is. While he evaded the question about what exactly transpired when police were called to a "domestic disturbance" at his home, he's dead right about one part: A lot of people don't want to hear about it. Just like they don't want to hear about the allegation published that same day that President Trump savagely sexually assaulted advice columnist E. Jean Carroll in the mid-90s. Just like they don't want to watch the video of British Member of Parliament Mark Field grabbing a female Greenpeace protester by the throat last Thursday. Here's what's happening: All across the English-speaking world, men seeking or established in high office, icons of elitist entitlement shotgun-married to rank populism, are having to answer questions about just how much violence they have chosen to inflict on the women around them. And all across the English-speaking world, their supporters are rallying behind them. Field's misdeed was captured on camera in a ten-second psychodrama about the state of politics today: a young woman with the temerity to protest at a black-tie dinner slammed against a pillar, grabbed by the neck, and frogmarched out by a furious man in a smart suit. While Field has now been suspended, the first reaction from his fellow Conservative members of Parliament to the display wasn't how dare he, but how dare she. How dare she interrupt these important men and their wives while they congratulate themselves over dinner. How dare she mention the uncomfortable fact that their economic policies are decimating the climate and threatening billions of lives. Give him a medal, came the call from his supporters: He was showing "responsibility and leadership." She was the one who "could have been dangerous." Someone might have been put right off their soufflé. Male violence at the highest levels of government has been tolerated for a very long time. Unfortunately for these men, women are no longer quite so willing to keep their mouths shut about it as they once were. This means that even voters who don't really care about male politicians assaulting women know that on some level they should care, which is why so many double down on frantic excuses. Meanwhile, the accused themselves behave as though accountability is for the little people. Both Trump and Johnson have declined even to offer plausible alternate narratives, to let their voters retain a scrap of deluded self-respect while they look the other way. Donald Trump can no longer even be bothered to spend five minutes coming up with a half-decent lie. His defense on Friday to Carroll's account in New York is that he never met her—this despite a photo published in the original article showing the two of them together at an NBC party in 1987. His supporters will back him to the hilt, regardless: Nobody is more anxious to win the culture war than those who have already lost the moral argument. The way these men choose to behave toward women is not incidental to the way they will behave in office. It's not a side issue, and it's not a private matter. The way politicians treat women and children informs their attitude toward everything else. Men who bully, grope, and harass because they feel entitled to do so will treat the electorate with the same violent contempt. Institutions that cover up and tacitly condone abuse will operate similarly. Sexual violence and abuse are central to our political culture, not least because they create something that men like Trump and Johnson have always relied on: They create complicity, and complicity rallies the troops quicker than loyalty in fickle times like these. Men who bully, grope, and harass because they feel entitled to do so will treat the electorate with the same violent contempt. How many of those defending him today would stake their future on Boris Johnson never having hit a woman? How much are we willing to bet that Trump has never committed rape? I'm not talking about whether or not these men will ever face charges or how much they're prepared to pay to bury their victims alive. I'm talking about whether or not we think they actually did it. Anyone prepared to stake their life savings? I don't think you'd find many takers for that bet, of any political persuasion. Most of us know, in our meek and yearning little hearts, that the men we've chosen to lead us—or had forced upon us—are swollen frat-boys straight from the collective id. Most of us know that in a just world, Donald Trump would probably be in jail. But acknowledging that out loud would mean acknowledging an injustice so enormous we'd have to haul ourselves up and do something about it, and most of us have been exhausted for at least a decade, so it's easier to believe the accused. It is always easier to believe the accused, psychiatrist Judith Herman Lewis argued in her seminal work Trauma and Recovery: In order to escape accountability for his crimes, the perpetrator does everything in his power to promote forgetting ... After every atrocity one can expect to hear the same predictable apologies: it never happened; the victim lies; the victim exaggerates; the victim brought it upon herself; and in any case it is time to forget the past and move on. The more powerful the perpetrator, the greater is his prerogative to name and define reality, and the more completely his arguments prevail. Let's be honest with ourselves for a second, here. Let's admit that nobody votes for a Trump or a Johnson believing their candidate to be a sincere and morally upstanding specimen of humanity. All that is required from these spoiled thugs is all that has ever been required of them: the absolute bare minimum of plausible deniability, just enough of a flimsy fig leaf for browbeaten gatekeepers to feel OK about letting them off the hook, like they were always going to, whether the offense is a hilarious, totally innocuous—definitely not racist—crack about Africans or, you know, raping someone in a changing room. The public doesn't want to hear about that sort of thing—not out of some sort of prim concern for privacy, but because it makes us uncomfortable. It is uncomfortable to have to articulate what we have always known about these men. And when we insist that it's a "private matter," what we mean is that it doesn't matter. That it shouldn't matter. Here is what we are saying shouldn't matter. Here's how E. Jean Carroll describes her interaction with Trump in the '90s: He seizes both my arms and pushes me up against the wall a second time, and, as I become aware of how large he is, he holds me against the wall with his shoulder and jams his hand under my coat dress and pulls down my tights…. he opens the overcoat, unzips his pants, and, forcing his fingers around my private area, thrusts his penis halfway—or completely, I'm not certain—inside me. It turns into a colossal struggle. That is a description of rape, and Carroll knows just what she is risking by making it part of the public record. Naming your abuser is a colossal act of defiance, especially when your abuser's entire personal brand is about getting away with it. As Carroll herself noted, His admirers can't get enough of hearing that he's rich enough, lusty enough, and powerful enough to be sued by and to pay off every splashy porn star or Playboy Playmate who "comes forward," so I can't imagine how ecstatic the poor saps will be to hear their favorite Walking Phallus got it on with an old lady in the world's most prestigious department store. I admire this woman. She's easily in my top 15 people ever to credibly accuse the president of the United States of violent sexual assault—so far. But she doesn't talk like a good victim, does she? A good victim is meant to be meek and ashamed. A better victim remembers that in a culture that values men's comfort over women's lives, being accused of rape and assault is worse than being assaulted or raped. The best victims of all are so silent that the men who hurt them can move on to ever-more-lucrative positions of political prominence, entirely unbothered by the frantic sirens of conscience. It's easier not to look. It's easier to cling desperately to the belief that Donald Trump is not a rapist than it is to acknowledge how many of our fellow citizens would rather elect a rapist than a woman. We have a choice about what sort of world we want to live in—although it doesn't always feel that way, in a world where impeachment is decided by 435 politicians of highly variable moral fiber and the prime minister is elected by just over a hundred thousand party members. It's easier not to have to contemplate the emperor in his horrible nakedness. It's easier to imagine that if we look away, we'll eventually get something out of it: perhaps a policy or a judicial appointment we value. It's easy to wave and cheer and hope that if we let them have what they want they'll somehow go easy on us. But that's not how this works. These men told us who they were right from the start. What they don't get to do, however, is tell the rest of us who we are. We still have time to choose what sort of society we want to live in. We can choose, at any point, to stop looking away.

It was a big surprise for me to find accidentally a 1:18 scale model of the almost unknown concept Lotec Sirius. I'm sure that the manufacturer name,Maxicar, remains unknown for many collectors,too. And this just because they've made only this model and nothing more. And the Lotec Sirius isn't a popular model. Being a supercar enthusiasts I did everything to have this model in my collection. And after a while I had this opportunity. The package looks premium, being composed by a polystyrene box and a second card box with the model's photos and name printed on. But, the good impressions stop here. Even if you're seeing the model for the first time, few seconds are long enough to realize that this one is very poor made. To have an idea about its quality I will tell you that is under the usual quality level of the low-cost models. The body isn't finished at all, seems to have the mould in your hands, not the finished product. The paint is metallic, thin, I can say even well applied, but is something missing here. Has a strange look, isn't consistent and looks applied in hurry. No perforated meshes or other fine details are present. The front lights are good enough, but the rear ones are fixed with huge visible stubs. One for each taillight was not enough, so they used two. Is to be appreciate the chrome on the final exhaust pipes. They used a lot of metal for this model and the result is quite heavy. The few plastic parts like the spoiler or the lateral air vents are unfinished, bad painted and looks horrible. Is easy to see from the photos the huge shut lines everywhere. The rims are well replicated but are excessively chromed and attached with a visible screw. Totally fail! A hard and glossy plastic was used for making the tires, giving them a toy look. The doors are opening and reveal a very poor interior. Here, the plastic looks cheap, the details are missing, excepting the sticker to replicate the indicators and a red switch. The blue paint on the seats is too shinny and bad applied and the decals on the door entry are replicating everything, only the carbon fiber not. Some toy cars are high class in comparison with what I can see here. Both huge lids are opening on oversized hinges and the underneath aspect is deplorable. Metallic residues can be seen everywhere, they had not even the intention to finish them, before attaching to the model. The engine has some separate painted parts, few moulded details, but if you are to compare it with the real thing, you'll realize how many things could be done here by an profesional manufacturer. Some frame pipes are covered in the same bling-bling chrome and again, the stickers trying to replicate the real carbon fiber are deplorable. The lids are not moving only up and down, but in the lateral sides, too. I will stop here with the description, because nothing good can be found. The model- generously called- is very, very cheap and poor made. Is looking more like a toy. Reading this article and from the photos beyond it, for sure you'll decide alone if is a model to buy or not.

Q: Webpack4: Process CSS and SCSS file with separate entry point How can I target all CSS and SCSS files in a folder with an entry point, process them and then output the result into a single file in Webpack 4? For JavaScript seems very straightforward: In the following example, I'm getting all files with js extension located in assets/js then they are transpiled and saved into /dist/bundle.js: const path = require("path") const glob = require("glob") module.exports = { devtool: 'source-map', entry: glob.sync("./assets/js/*.js"), output: { path: path.resolve(__dirname, "./dist/js/"), filename: 'bundle.js', publicPath: '/dist' }, module: { rules: [ { test: /\.js$/, exclude: /node_modules/, use: { loader: 'babel-loader', options: { presets: ["es2015"] } } } ] }, } I'd like to do the same (along with the previous example) but with CSS and SCSS files. I've tried: const path = require("path") const glob = require("glob") const mcep = require("mini-css-extract-plugin") module.exports = { devtool: 'source-map', entry: { javascript: glob.sync("./assets/js/*.js"), css: glob.sync("./assets/css/**/"), }, output: { path: path.resolve(__dirname, "./dist/js/"), filename: 'bundle.js', publicPath: '/dist' }, module: { rules: [ { test: /\.js$/, exclude: /node_modules/, use: { loader: 'babel-loader', options: { presets: ["es2015"] } } }, { test: /\.(sa|sc|c)css$/, use: [ { loader: mcep.loader }, { loader: "file-loader", /*options: { name: "bundle.css", outputPath: "dist/css/" }*/ }, { loader: "style-loader" // creates style nodes from JS strings }, { loader: "css-loader" // translates CSS into CommonJS }, { loader: "sass-loader" // compiles Sass to CSS } ] } ] }, plugins: [ new mcep({ filename: "./dist/css/[name].css", chunks: ['css'] }) ] } but it does not work. Again, I'd like to target all files within a specific folder, process them and ouput them into /dist/css/something.css, I don't want to import them into a js file. Thanks

Q: Why does $.getJSON() block the browser? I have a page where I list hardware devices we monitor for customers. Each row displayed also shows the status of the device i.e. whether it's running, paused, starting up etc. To improve page load times I list the devices but don't query for their status until the page is rendered. This is because some queries such as via SNMP or other API's can take as much as 5-10 seconds to respond. So for a list of say ten devices it could take well over a minute of the user looking at a blank page. So I do the following instead - On the device list page I have the following script: $(document).ready(function () { var devices = $('div[name="runStatus"]'); devices.each(function () { // Get device ID (I embed this using the HTML5 data-* attributes/annotations) var deviceId = $(this).attr("data-deviceid"); var url = "/devmanager/status/" + deviceId; $.getJSON(url, function (response) { // Not actually important to the question...set text status, colours etc $('div[data-deviceid="' + deviceId + '"]').text(response); //... }); }); }); What I'm finding is that if I allow this script to run, all links on the page become unresponsive. I'm guessing this is because I've quite a few almost parallel async requests blocking until they get a response from the server and somehow the "UI thread" is being blocked by this? However I thought this wasn't supposed to happen with AJAX. I find this 'blocking' behaviour to happen in IE8, Chrome 8.0 and Firefox 3.6. Chrome in fact shows the arrow cursor + spinning-toilet-bowl-of-death (I'm using Windows 7) as if the page isn't completely rendered. How can I fix this? A: I imagine you're running into browser limitations for handling multiple requests. Have you tried using Fiddler and looking at the timeline to see what is blocking? This SO question will probably help: How many concurrent AJAX (XmlHttpRequest) requests are allowed in popular browsers? A: Turns out this isn't a problem with the client side: Would multiple calls to the same ASP.NET MVC action cause the browser to block? Would multiple calls to the same ASP.NET MVC action cause the browser to block? - Answer This was being caused by a "by-design" feature of ASP.NET where multiple requests made in the same session are serialised. A: It sounds like getJSON is using asynchronous: false as an option to xhr. It kind of suprises me that jquery would use that as a default though, since that is pretty much always a bad idea for the reasons that you are describing. Don't have the time to look into it more at the moment, but that is the first path I would take. A: I have never had problems with $.getJSON(). It is asynchronous as far as I know. What is probably happenning is a javascript error, since you're trying to do: $('div[data-deviceid="' + deviceId + '"]').text(response); I'm guessing there is an error here because response is a javascript object or array, not a string. What you should do is text(response.desiredProperty) or text(response[index]) according to the type of object response is. Since javascript errors sometimes make our browsers behave unexpectedly, this MIGHT (only might) me your problem.

However, her departure from CHFI marked the beginning of a magical time. In the summer of 2003, Erin saw a lifelong dream come true when the W Network called and offered her the opportunity to host her own TV show. W Live with Erin Davis, a daily live hour-long national talk show, which featured guests and viewers discussing women's lifestyle, health and wellness issues, hit the air that fall and lasted one year. Also in the summer of '03, Erin was contacted by theatrical producer Ross Petty, who invited her to audition for a part in his annual Christmas family pantomime. She accepted his invitation and made her live theatre debut as the Fairy Godmother in Cinderella at Toronto's historic Elgin Theatre in December for a month long run, concurrent with her daily television show. In the fall of 2004, the magic continued. Erin had the opportunity to meet and work with Mike Cooper, one of Canada's best-known radio personalities, while she was temporarily filling in on 97.3 EZ Rock. Erin and Mike hit it off immediately and enjoyed great success together so, when CHFI asked Erin to come back in the fall of '05, her new friend Mike was not far behind. Ratings rebounded and the station has returned to its number one position. Erin and Mike look forward to many happy years together. 2005 ended with just one more bit of magic, with Erin being asked to be the Grand Marshal of the Toronto St. Patrick's Day Parade the following March, an honour of which she is most appreciative. Erin was honoured to be named 2006 Woman of the Year for the Greater Toronto Area after a public survey by the Consumers Choice Award. Previous winners include Indigo Chief Heather Reisman, Hazel McCallion, Belinda Stronach and Barbara Hall. Prior to coming to CHFI in 1988, Erin co-hosted mornings on CKO Toronto, the flagship station of Canada's all-news radio network. She had come from CKLW Windsor (aka The Big Eight) where she had been the first female co-host in the powerful Detroit market. Erin was born in Edmonton, Alberta and as a result of her father's Air Force career, was raised everywhere, including Ottawa, Trenton and England. The Davis household was always filled with music and Erin's introduction to show business came at an early age when she sang regularly with her grandfather's orchestra. Erin had considerable television experience prior to her W Network show. Following a number of guest host positions at CFTO (now CTV Toronto) and Global, Erin wrote and performed a nightly commentary on CFTO News in 1998 and 1999 called Just So You Know. Then, for two seasons, she hosted a nightly talk show (more than 200 episodes) on Rogers Television called The Erin Davis Show. The lifestyle and wellness program, which could be seen in over two million homes in Southern Ontario, received an award in its second season as Canada's best cable talk show. Erin appears regularly at various public events as both M.C. and Keynote Speaker. She is also an accomplished vocalist and fronted an oldies band for over 10 years. She was featured on three CDs for the Toronto Blue Jays and Variety Club during the team's pennant and World Series runs of the early 1990's. In addition, Erin has sung national anthems at many Blue Jays, Maple Leafs and Argonauts games and boasts a winning record for the home team! Erin's charitable works are numerous. She is a regular co-host on the Easter Seals Telethon on CBC television and is a supporter of North York General Hospital as well as Markham Stouffville Hospital. Erin is very active with the Canadian Women's Foundation, the Childhood Cancer Foundation, Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation and the Children's Wish Foundation, for which she raised an astounding $160,000 in the summer of 1998, simply by shaving her head (thanks to the generosity of CHFI listeners). She supports PLAN Canada and has three foster daughters in third world countries. Erin has been saluted by the Empire Club, Variety Club and Toastmasters International for her public service work and is a recipient of the Paul Harris fellowship, a Rotary honour recognizing the highest public service. In 2008, the first Erin Davis – Women in Media bursary will be awarded to a student at Erin's alma mater, Loyalist College. This award was established by Erin and her family in part to recognize and assist promising media students, but also out of a deep sense of gratitude to Loyalist for having bestowed upon her an Honourary Degree in 2007. Erin's leisure time pursuits include reading, writing, answering e-mails (!), making bead jewelry by hand, traveling, cooking, doing yoga and canoeing at her cottage on the Trent. She and Rob, her husband of 20 years, have a beautiful and funny 17-year-old daughter, Lauren, and live in Toronto with their two nutty little dogs, Pepper Jay and Molly Malone. Erin is very, very grateful.

I'm sorry to say that sound you hear isn't opportunity knocking. It's an account checker trying to access your site. Using stolen credentials, botnets are constantly tapping at the entry point to almost every site on the internet trying to see if the information they took from someone else's site contains the keys they need to access yours. This is a part of the internet traffic we all have to deal with. What many organizations don't realize, however, is that credential abuse and account checkers may actually outnumber legitimate login attempts by a factor of greater than 4 to 1. If you work in security for a hotel chain or airline, you probably have some idea of what I'm talking about. When I ran my first secure shell (SSH) server years ago, it was amazing to me how many spurious login attempts there were in the first few hours after it went live. There's no lack of username and password dictionaries online, and the frequent security compromises of organizations around the globe have only increased the number of accounts available for exploitation. Additionally, users continue to expose themselves by repeating login information across multiple accounts. The original credential abuse bots were simply scanners looking for common user accounts like "[email protected]" against any system that would respond. It's always interesting to check your own accounts on Troy Hunt's Have I Been Pwned site. Today's credential abuse bots are much more sophisticated than what hit my SSH server 20 years ago. One of the first iterations was the move to a bot-based architecture rather than login attempts coming from a single source. It was easy to block a single IP address that was abusing your site, but when the logins are coming from hundreds or thousands of IP addresses with little or no commonality, it becomes much harder to pinpoint an attack. Modern bot designs have made it even harder to track where threats are coming from. Even a few years ago, botnets could take aim at a site and run through every username and password combination as quickly as possible. There have been more than a few distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks that became credential abuse attacks with enough bandwidth to take down their target. Attackers are now much more subtle and use a low-and-slow approach in their activity. A single IP address from a botnet might only be seen by a target once, or it might be seen several times over a short period. In reality, that IP address is being used against a long list of victims and slowly churning through its targets over time. When you have a host of thousands of endpoints at your command, you can keep your botnet from being blocked and make it significantly more effective by having each one of those hosts check only a few logins. It may mean that the credential abuse bots aren't quite as quick as a more shotgun approach, but it also means they have a better survival rate. Credential abuse is never an isolated incident — it's a significant portion of all web traffic. In a recent Akamai report, I observed that bot traffic accounts for approximately 1.6 percent of all web-based traffic on the internet. This may not sound like much, but when you look at the terabits per second of traffic flowing around the globe and realize how many login attempts it takes to create that traffic, it's an incredible amount. It helps to remember that the average webpage can take a few hundred megabytes to download, while the payload required to execute a credential abuse attack is measured in kilobytes. One of the latest innovations for credential abuse is a shift to attacks on the application programming interfaces (APIs) that enable computer-to-computer interactions on the web. Almost every site has an API that allows for health checks or permits other computers to download important data. Unlike the front door of a site, these accounts are often static and not as rigorously monitored by defenders. Combined with the fact that many APIs have access to data no user would be allowed to see, they are tempting targets for attackers. Rather than compromise one or several accounts, attackers can use a compromised API to download the entire data set of a site or establish a foothold on the network. What can an organization do to protect itself from credential abuse attacks? As with anything in the security domain, the first step is to increase awareness. The solutions promising to handle your bot and account takeover problems are legion, but if no one in your organization is taking credential abuse seriously, you won't have access to any of them. The next step is to be aware of the changing landscape. I could detail a dozen different controls you need to have in place to combat today's account checkers, but the truth is that they'll be outdated in a year if your technology doesn't keep up with the pace of change. Today, having a vendor who can spot a single IP address jiggling the locks across multiple sites is vitally important. Bot herders are an intelligent, adaptive adversary and will develop methods to evade any protections. This means your defenses have to continue adapting as well. Credential abuse is not going to stop knocking at your door anytime soon. Abusers have little chance of being caught, and their attacks are a low priority for many organizations compared to flashier, more frequent problems such as a DDoS attacks. But as long as users reuse the same login and password across multiple sites, account checkers will prosper. It's an attack that offers little risk for a potentially huge reward.

Home Uncategorized Public apathy blamed as India crash victim ignored Public apathy blamed as India crash victim ignored India is being accused of "shameful apathy" after video footage was released showing a man being ignored for 40 minutes after a road accident that killed his wife and child. The husband cried out for help as vehicles sped past the family until finally a city worker came to his aid. Frame grab from NDTV shows an accident victim consoling his son as vehicles pass by in Jaipur, India on April 15, 2013 Video footage of a man being ignored as he begged for help following a road accident that killed his wife and child led to accusations of "shameful" public apathy in India on Monday. Police said Kanhaiya Lal's appeals were ignored for 40 minutes after a speeding truck rammed his motorcycle on Sunday, which was also carrying his wife Guddi, 26, their 10-month-old daughter and four-year-old son. His wife and daughter died of their injuries at the accident scene while the man screamed for help with his son, who was also injured, CCTV footage aired nationwide on Indian television showed. The footage showed motorists speeding past the stricken family until a city worker came forward to help. "It's the duty of all people to take such victims to hospital because lives could be saved," Jaipur traffic Police Chief Lata Manoj said in a televised interview. Prabhu Dayal, an uncle of the dead woman, blamed the deaths on public indifference. "Her husband cried for help for 40 minutes but no-one stopped. It's shameful that apathy took two lives," said Prabhu. Public apathy towards crime victims was brought into sharp relief in December, when a 23-year-old student was ignored by bystanders after she had been stripped and dumped on a New Delhi street, having been savagely gang-raped in a bus by six men. She died of her injuries nearly two weeks later. "Following the gang-rape we did an online survey about why people don't help victims of violence and accidents," said Apurva Mahendra of the Delhi-based SaveLIFE Foundation, which encourages bystanders to offer assistance. "We found legal issues such as being required to appear in court as witnesses are major deterrents for good Samaritans to come forward to help such victims," said Mahendra, who heads the privately run agency's emergency response program. A total of 131,834 people died in road accidents in India in 2011 — which works out at 15 an hour, according to the government's National Crime Records Bureau. Traffic experts say the lives of at least 50 percent of victims could be saved if they received timely medical attention. "We are advocating a good Samaritan law to oblige people to help victims," said Mahendra.

Learn about the native plant community that is closest to your home and garden and 'tie' your garden design into this native ecosystem. The creatures that are naturally present within that plant community will be the ones that are first attracted to the enhanced foraging opportunities that your habitat garden will offer. Identify the California native plants already present on your property; preserve and protect these plants. Add more native plants from the prevalent plant community; then increase the bio-diversity in your garden by selecting micro-climate areas on your property that can help create appropriate conditions for plants from other plant communities; or add 'well-behaved' non-native plants that can provide additional habitat resources. Be particular about which non-native plants you include in your garden, especially if you are gardening next to wild lands. At Home Ground we grow only regionally appropriate 'well-behaved' non-natives; these are plants that do not spread outside of cultivated areas because they cannot survive without water during the dry season. Grow plants to create a diversity of form; with vertical layers of trees, shrubs, vines, groundcovers, and grasses. Snags, logs and brush piles also provide cover and foraging sites for birds. Grow a diversity of plants that bloom in different seasons. The more plants that are producing nectar, pollen, seeds, berries, nuts or fruits, the more birds you will attract. Let flowers and grasses go to seed; after all the seeds are eaten the remaining chaff is often used for nesting materials. Plant for the insects first! Plant drifts of flowering plants that provide nectar and pollen throughout each season, if possible. Fill your garden with plants from the Aster / Sunflower family and Umbellifers (carrot family). Many of the plants in these families are particularly good at attracting pollinators. Plant larval host plants for local butterfly species. To identify the butterfly species that are present in your area plant one of the nectar-rich, long blooming species that act as a magnet for butterflies. Buddleias, Verbenas, and Lantana, though not native, bloom for a long period of time, and are loved by butterflies. Once you know which species are present, learn to identify the larval and pupal stages of those species. Plant California native wildflowers; and strive to get natural populations established. Many annual wildflowers show up at just the right time to provide for many native insect species. Remember – California's flora and fauna evolved together! Make your garden a PESTICIDE-FREE-ZONE. Insects are the foundation of ALL other life. Be tolerant of the prey species; they usually show up first, and their populations build up, before the predatory species arrive to achieve a natural balance. Practice organic, sustainable gardening methods and techniques. Avoid the use of synthetic fertilizers. Start with healthy soil – compost and mulch are essential ingredients. Recycle plant materials on site as mulch, compost and brush piles. Provide a source of clean water – as simple as a shallow saucer, or birdbath. A wildlife-friendly pond must have easy escape routes; such as emergent vegetation, logs half in and out of the water, or a shallow "beach" or seep side. Create a heat-sink, and basking opportunities, by using stone and gravel in your garden. Uneven surfaces in rough stone often hold a little moisture accessible to insects, and walls of dry-stacked stone provide lots of hiding and overwintering places for small creatures. Cultivate a natural, informal look. Manicured gardens are not wildlife friendly. Allow 'managed' populations of weeds if you can. Some weedy species, such as Italian Thistle, English Plantain, and Cudweeds, are excellent habitat plants that attract both prey and predatory species of insects, and also provide for the larval stages of some beautiful butterfly species. Habitat gardens are for people too! A good flexible formula for the garden is; 1/3 native plants, 1/3 ornamentals (food and nectar plants) and 1/3 edibles (berries, fruit and nut trees, and herbs). Be prepared to share your bounty with the wildlife! Have a place to sit where you can observe and enjoy the activity! CHANGE YOUR MIND-SET! Learn to appreciate ALL the creatures that show up in a habitat garden full of natural resources.

Trauma Aware Yoga combines ancient wisdom practices with a western scientific understanding of stress, and has emerged from Hatha Yoga. Through mindfulness, the intention to cultivate a kind and gentle awareness of body sensations and feelings provides a foundation for the practice of Trauma Aware Yoga. This practice encourages the connection and transformation of the vital relationship between mind, body and heart to support wellbeing and promotes the active cultivation of the innate wisdom of the body as a pathway for growth and healing. Gentle postures and the conscious connection of mind and body through the breath, form the development of new ways to compassionately relate to stress, pain, tension, trauma and chronic illness.

Q: Properly formatted PHP function call failing I dread having to ask questions when I know the answer is going to be something very dumb, but here goes! I have 3 pages that I'm using. My edit_financials.php page is where I'm having the error. This page calls my config.php file, which intializes some site-wide stuff and instantiates the util.php page as util. Other function calls to the same util.php work just fine, but for some reason, this one is causing everything to fail. I've isolated it to this one line: $profileInfo = $util->getProfile(); Which calls the following function: public function getProfile(){ $user = $this->getLoggedInUser(); $result = $this->DBQuery("SELECT firstname, middleinit, lastname, addr1, addr2, city, state, zip, email FROM user WHERE userId=$user"); if(!$result){ return false; } else { return $result; } return false; } The block of code on edit_financials.php is: $profileInfo = $util->getProfile(); while ($row = mysqli_fetch_array($profileInfo)){ $firstname = $row['firstname']; $mi = $row['middleinit']; $lastname = $row['lastname']; $address1 = $row['addr1']; $address2 =$row['addr2']; $city =$row['city']; $state = $row['state']; $zip = $row['zip']; } As you can see, I'm tryign to pass the result set back to edit_financials.php and then loop through it to get the values for my variables. I'm not even sure if I can do this, or maybe I should do the loop in util and pass back an array with all the values? I know the error has to be here somewhere, can anyone see what I'm doing wrong? Update: I'm working on adding asserts (Learning something new today) in the meantime I added a couple more echos to see if it's even entering the function and it appears that it is not... Added to edit_financials: echo " About to call that pesky getProfile() function.... "; $profileInfo = $util->getProfile(); echo " We're back to edit_financials now... "; Added to util: public function getProfile(){ echo " Function is running.... "; // and I commented everything else out } And my output is: "About to call that pesky getProfile() function...." And that's it. So it's not even entering the function, which is why I can't get a vardump. A: Add assert "everywhere" to track it down. Good habit, anyway. Do you get an error message?

Reel Cinema registered as Asset of Community Value Fans of the Reel Cinema (former ABC) gathered this week to celebrate a step foward in their efforts to save building. The modest victory came as Plymouth City Council announced that the Reel has been added to its Assets of Community Value register, giving the community the right to bid for the building should it be put up for sale. The Asset of Community Value designation provides local communities with an opportunity to bid to purchase community assets when they are placed for sale on the open market. In the case of the Reel Cinema, it will mean that groups who have been fighting to save the building from demolition and redevelopment as student flats, may have 6 months in which to put together a bid to buy the building if the current owner decides to sell. The building was nominated by local conservation charity Plymouth Architectural Trust, who worked with the Reel Cinema Preservation Group to prepare the application. "This decision provides a vital lifeline for the Reel, and is real endorsement of the principle of saving the building. The Asset of Community Value status acknowledges that a property is valued by the community both for the memories it holds and for the service it continue to provide." said Hilary Kolinsky, Secretary & Treasurer for Plymouth Architectural Trust.

To control the Eye of God in order to become a so-called 'Perfect Being' Obtain absolute freedom from "God". Episode 1 (2009 anime) Chapter 31 (manga) When you see an insect lying on the ground, do you stop to consider it a fool? The life of an insect is so beneath you that it would be a waste of your time to even consider judging it. That would be an accurate summation of my feelings towards you humans. The Dwarf in the Flask: Homunculus, referred to as "Father" (お父様, Otō-sama) by his "children", the other homunculi, is the central antagonist of the Fullmetal Alchemist manga and 2009 anime series. He is the oldest Homunculus and the progenitor of the Homunculi, creating them directly or indirectly. Arrogant and self-righteous, he deems only power over and ownership of the world, "perfect goodness and being", and "divine order" worthy of his attention, and he seeks to become absolutely "superior" to the human race. One of his outward looks bears a striking resemblance to Van Hohenheim. "Father" was created from the essence of the Eye (with some of Hohenheim's blood mixed in), and thus Father's shadowy actual form greatly resembles the Eye. "Father" inherited much knowledge from the Eye, and, when it comes to amount, only those of the Eye and Truth exceed his knowledge. " I wanted to obtain perfection. I wanted this world's knowledge for my own. Why should I be punished for that? What's wrong with craving knowledge? What's wrong with seeking perfection? " —Father's goal Father's original personality when he was known as the Dwarf in the Flask is more human-like and beautifully charismatic than when compared to his later self. His later self is stated by Hohenheim to be much more stoic, composed, almost lifeless, and almost always looking bored, the reason being that he had supposedly purged himself of the seven vices (this "purging" seems to have been incomplete, since he acts in sinful manners that reflect the seven vices). For the most part, he is menacing, dark, and foreboding, though he can have traces of humanity, as, during his first meeting with the Elric brothers and Ling Yao, Father shows a somewhat comical, lighter side to his personality, similar to that of Hohenheim, but almost immediately after switches back to his very serious demeanor. Although this change may have been due to the presence of his Greed within him. Father is also narcissistic, callous, merciless, pitiless, egotistical, megalomaniacal, deeply selfish, and believes that everyone around him are nothing but tools to be used as part of his plans. The only exceptions to this may be his seven Homunculi "children", as Hohenheim had stated during their battle that one of the reasons he had created them was because he wanted a family of his own, hence his title of Our Father, a fact which annoys him but which he also does not deny. The Homunculi personalities vicariously reveal more about Father, since, as he tells Greed himself, they were born out of his own vices, as well as the subconscious emotions that drove them, and everything they feel he has felt himself. This is particularly true of Greed, Envy, and Pride. Greed's desire for possessions was really an attempt to escape the loneliness and desire for close friends he felt deep down, whilst Envy's grandiose hatred of humans covered up a deep-seated inferiority complex and envy of humans, particularly their sense of emotional intimacy, and Pride's great disdain of the human race covers a certain lack of self-reverence. These revelations suggest that deep down, part of what Father wanted to purge was his own unbearable loneliness and jealousy that humans had each other for social, emotional, and physical support whilst he was originally the only Homunculus on Earth. Since he could not be like or part of the human race, and since he feels done with the sickening social deprivation he suffered through for what he felt was too long a time, he resolved to break free of the flask that prevented him from having physical contact with people, and to shun all the "burdensome" feelings he previously desired- longing for experiencing intimate physical and familial companionship with other people- as "inferior" by going for what he deems infinitely greater- the power to chaotically abolish the physical laws imposed upon everything. His thirst for power seems to be the only thing more important to him other than himself, noted when he does not hesitate to abandon his Homunculus "son" Pride in exchange for resupplying his Philosopher's Stone or to absorb Greed into his body to resupply it. Also, though he considers the Homunculi to be his children, he never expressed grief for any of their demises. Unlike Lust or Envy, Father has also stated that he feels no such hatred or contempt towards humans. He confesses to Edward that he merely sees humans as nothing more than stepping stones for himself, explaining his outright indifference and apathy towards them. Despite his normally calm, brooding personality, he is shown to be extremely excited when his plans finally come together, showing a wicked, gleefully evil side to his personality, as he was giggling with delight as the nationwide transmutation circle took effect. When outside of his human container and revealing his true form, he is often seen with a sadistic and homicidal grin. Father claims that Truth (the consciences of alchemists) is a personal God, and since Father considers himself perfectly good, he also thinks that God is on his side, and that by absorbing God, he becomes absolutely perfect. Father's extremely personal interpretations of Truth's works have a logical flaw, according to Edward Elric. Back when he had his original, mortal form in the flask, he had a much more polite, charismatic, yet also somewhat sarcastic personality to him. "Full of human emotions", as Hohenheim notes, before he "purged" out his cardinal sins. When confronted by Hohenheim about this, Father reveals that the seven Homunculi were only created so he would become a perfect being. Ultimately, in his final moments, Father's motivation is revealed to be freedom from the laws of the universe itself, and his dedication to his goals makes him all the more menacing. Appearance and Abilities True Form Father's original form, inside the flask. Father's first form is a small round mass of black gas with a single eye, a wide toothy mouth, and tendril-like arms, making him resemble the Eye of Truth from inside the Gate (This might be because Father was created from the entity's essence). He wasn't able to perform alchemy while inside the flask, but was able to teach it to the people of Xerxes. He returns to this form after his defeat, being assimilated by the Eye of God soon after. Father's true form revealed. During his battle with Hohenheim, Hohenheim gains the upper hand in the battle. However, after Father casts aside his "second form" husk and reveals his true form - which has evolved to be able to exist outside of his container - an unseen battle takes place between him and Hohenheim resulting in Father's victory. In this form, Father is shown to have a strange, almost liquid-like body structure somewhat resembling his ancient flask form. He is able to use alchemy to reshape his own body for any situation. The most common shape he took was that of a slightly obese humanoid with eyes with red irises adorning his black body and a wide grin on his otherwise nonexistent face. Father takes on a form identical to Pride While in this form, Father can take on a form identical to his son Pride's, though without the need for a container. Father takes on a giant form When Father absorbs around fifty-million souls from the people of Amestris, this form changes to become a giant cyclopean being. Though Father previously cryptically implied that this was his true form all along (though previously much smaller, only encapsulating Father's room) to discourage his sacrifices from escaping. This form is much thinner, showing what looks like a rib cage, a more muscular body, the multitude of eyes and wide grins that were on his previous form are gone, and he now has one large, bulging eye on his forehead. Father's Hohenheim-like container. Due to his imitation of Hohenheim's body in Xerxes, Father's second form is a container which looks identical in appearance to Hohenheim, excluding hair and skin color, hairstyle, clothing, a few additional wrinkles, and a lack of glasses. Hohenheim has referred to this form as nothing more than a human-like husk that Father uses to hide his true appearance. He is normally seen in the cavity beneath Central in which he and the Homunculi reside, sitting on a stone or cement throne with numerous pipes leading to it. The throne itself also has a physical connection to him, which can be unattached from him via pipes directly protruding from his spine. He uses the pipes to spread the Philosopher's Stone beneath the nation of Amestris. The purpose behind this is to act as a barrier between the tectonic energy of the earth's crust, where Amestrian Alchemy gets its energy from, so that he can stop others from using Alchemy at any time. Doing this, however, has aged his body slightly more than Van Hohenheim, who still looks identical from the time of Xerxes. This process, however, can be countered by a "Reverse Transmutation Circle", which is a concept Scar's brother had figured out by combining Xingese Alkahestry and Alchemy practices. Alkahestry was unaffected by Father's barrier because Alkahestry uses energy from the Earth's chi instead, which allows Scar and Mei Chang to continue using their alchemy even when Father blocks Amestrian Alchemy. Father's body is created by and contains the Philosopher's Stone that came from half of the souls of the human population of Xerxes (however, he later gave parts of it to create the other Homunculi). Due to this, he is able to perform alchemy without drawing a transmutation circle, clapping his hands together, or even moving at all. It is in this form that Father creates his seven sin Homunculus, gifting them with numerous powerful abilities such as the Ultimate Spear, Ultimate Shield, and Ultimate Eye. If he so wishes he can return these Homunculi to his being by turning their Philosopher's Stone to liquid and drinking it. After absorbing God Father's fourth form, containing a "miniature sun within his hand". Father's fourth form looks much like a younger version of Hohenheim. Also, despite looking so young, he keeps the voice of his second form. Due to the sacrifices, Father managed to absorb the entity beyond the gate and now has the "power of God"' within him with the Amestrian souls he absorbed keeping it in check, making him the "perfect being". He can now almost completely defy natural order (or, in Father's words, "do anything"). He can manipulate energy and matter to their full extent, turn anything into anything at any scale and create any force at any magnitude. He retains his fourth form and the powers that go with it even after having lost the Amestrians' souls, but as he lacks the strength to keep "God" inside his new body, the new power is too much of a strain on him, and as of chapter 107, it renders him vulnerable to counterattack. Reflecting this, Father's appearance deteriorates as the fight goes on: his skin and hair losing their color, pronounced veins appearing across his body, and eventually his face losing almost all human resemblance. Chapter 106 also revealed that Father now has the ability to create bodies for the souls inside his Philosopher's stone. In the manga, these beings are not well-made however, and start to fall apart moments after they were created. Father used this ability to distract his enemies so he could unleash a devastating attack. In what proves to be his downfall, Father re-absorbs Greed while in this form - gaining the Ultimate Shield ability, which Greed promptly uses to turn Father's body to graphite, allowing Edward to easily defeat him. Part in the Story While it is never fully explored, the being that would later call itself Father was originally a part of the existence within the Gate. Using the blood of his slave Number 23, the Alchemist to the King of Xerxes managed to contain a small portion of the knowledge and life of the Gate within a flask, capable of existing in the physical realm. Named simply "Dwarf in the Flask" or "Homunculus" by the people of Xerxes, this sentient creature contained a vast amount of knowledge, the most important and influential being the skills that would become standard alchemy. The Dwarf in the Flask was unable to perform any alchemy of his own. Furthermore, though the flask was the only thing that keeps him alive, Homunculus desired to exist outside it. To that end, he befriended Slave 23 out of similar circumstances as slaves to their respective plights, in turn naming the lad Van Hohenheim and educating him to win his freedom as an act of thanks for his hand in creating him. However, Homunculus grew envious of the human race, jealous of their mutual emotional support for each other whilst he grew lonely, being only one of his kind. Losing sight of his own unique, supreme, and special gifts and talents, Homunculus lost much of his self-confidence, and this low self-esteem caused him to fill himself up with hubris and a desire to become a being superior to even God himself. Years later, the King of Xerxes (who, like Father, has become vain and hubristic) finally revealed the use for Homunculus; he wanted to call upon him to give the secrets of immortality. Homunculus used this opportunity and instructed the king to construct a giant transmutation circle out of the kingdom, creating bloodshed at specific nodes of the circle. He then manipulated the event so he and Hohenheim were standing at the true center of the circle, so once it was activated, every soul in Xerxes besides himself and Hohenheim were sacrificed to make what was possibly the first Philosopher's Stone ever created. Homunculus used this power to open the Gate of Truth and created new, immortal bodies for himself and Hohenheim, living embodiments of the Philosopher's Stone with the hundreds of thousands of souls of Xerxes split between them as their power. Horrified at his role as an unwilling partner in this horrific act, Hohenheim parted ways with Homunculus. Amestrian alchemy's source of power. After the destruction of Xerxes, Homunculus made his way to find another inhabited place. Finding such a patch of land, he took the small group of people thriving there and taught them alchemy, becoming known as the "Philosopher of the East". However, to ensure his teachings would not be used against him, he placed himself under what would become Central Command and used himself as a buffer against tectonic energy so alchemists would actually use energy derived from the souls of Xerxes contained within himself. At some point, he began using those same souls to create his Homunculi offspring and accordingly started going by the name "Father". From this point, the people formed the powerful military state of Amestris, a puppet government secretly run by Father. Amestris begins to rise in power and annexes all nearby land, eventually branching out to form yet another giant transmutation circle, with all skirmishes and bloodshed involving the Amestrian military taking place at the important nodes of the circle. While Father's scheme was to repeat his actions at Xerxes to create another Philosopher's Stone, he now requires an eclipse to become a "perfect being", ("the sun symbolizes a man, and the moon symbolizes a woman, when they come together they become a perfect being" -Edward Elric) and five alchemists that had opened the Gate as human sacrifices. Throughout the first half of the story, Father is mostly seen sitting on a stone throne with many pipes leading into it. He is properly introduced when Wrath captures Greed and brings him to Father's underground lair. After his offer to the Homunculus was turned down, Father had Greed boiled in a tub of liquid which decomposes his body into his core Philosopher's Stone. The Stone, now in a liquid state and containing Greed's soul, is then consumed by Father. Father's full identity is revealed when Gluttony brings Alphonse into the Homunculi's lair, prior to Gluttony's body tearing apart as Envy, Edward and Ling Yao emerge from Gluttony's stomach. When the Elrics recognize his face, Father admits his amazement that Edward and Alphonse are Hohenheim's children, before healing Edward's wounds and restoring Alphonse's missing arm. Having no use for Ling, however, Father orders Gluttony and Envy to kill him. Edward pleads for him to spare Ling, but Father makes it clear that he does not care for anyone not a part of his plan. Edward and Alphonse use their alchemy to attack Father, with no avail; Father is entirely unharmed by their attacks before he merely stomps his foot to seal off all alchemy in Central. However, entering Father's lair at the same moment, Scar and May Chang astonish Father with their own counterattacks, unaffected by his alchemic lock-out with their own unique forms of alchemy. However, even point-blank, Scar's alchemy is unable to harm Father. Scar and May are overwhelmed while Envy captures the Elrics. Meanwhile, Father too easily defeats Ling and then takes the liquefied stone, in which Greed is contained, and merges it with Ling, stating that he could have use for another pawn after all. Ling then becomes the new Greed and Father has the Elrics taken to the surface before tending to the injured Gluttony. From there on, Father is mostly seen sitting on his throne, musing over his plan and conversing with the military high command. The Promised Day Father prepares to swallow "God". When the Promised Day begins, Edward, Hohenheim, Scar, Lan Fan and the Chimera invaded his lair with plans to kill him for good by destroying his shell. However, only Hohenheim manages to reach him as the two do battle. But when it seems Father has won when he manages to stab Hohenheim, he learns all too late that Hohenheim managed to work with the souls within his Philosopher's Stone, some of which destroy his shell from the inside. Unfortunately, Father reveals to Hohenheim how far he has evolved since they parted ways, emerging from his shell and eating it with the Philosopher's Stones it still contained, before restarting the fight. He defeats Hohenheim, restraining him with his body and later greets Izumi and the Elric brothers, who didn't recognize him at first. Soon after, Pride arrives with a blinded Colonel Mustang, giving Father his fifth and final human sacrifice. Despite the alchemists' refusal to aid him, and Greed's attempt on his life, Father defeats his attackers and proceeds to finally activate the Nationwide Transmutation Circle around Amestris, using the restrained sacrifices' gates to access the Earth's gate while absorbing all of the Amestrians' souls. From there, in his full form, Father tears open the Gate of Truth with his bare hands; absorbing the higher power he calls "God". Once the transmutation process is completed, in a new youthful body, Father states to the alchemists how he "imprisoned God" within his body and possesses all the knowledge and power of "God". No longer needing sacrifices, Father cancels Alchemy once more and prepares to dispose of the five sacrifices, as well as Greed and May, at his whim. Final Battle and Defeat However, Hohenheim reveals his own plan: all the Xersesians souls that Hohenheim separated from his body and merged with the earth itself force Father to release the Amestrian souls and guide them back to their own bodies. Without the Amestrian souls, Father begins to lose control of "God" as he attacks the group with formidable blasts of explosions, that Hohenheim manages to block. Luckily, Scar activates the Alkahestric reverse-Nationwide Transmutation Circle, which nullifies Father's "buffer" and grants true alchemy to Amestrians. Knowing that fighting the alchemists would only further weaken his ability to contain "God" within him, Father takes to the surface of Central Command to claim the souls of the nearby Briggs soldiers and replenish his stone, but an attack from Hohenheim makes him lose concentration. Now surrounded by Hohenheim, Izumi, Alphonse, and May, Father is asked by Hohenheim the reason why he hates humans by pointing out his origins. But intrigued by Hohenheim telling him all he does is destroy, Father, proves him wrong by resurrecting the Xerxesians with his body. This horrific act would be used by Father as a distraction to catch everyone off guard so he can release a devastating attack. However, Ed arrives and snaps everyone out of this while Father fires an explosive blast, wiping out both the recreated Xerxesians and most of Central Command. However, Al and Hohenheim managed to shield everyone at great expanse to their physical beings before the military joins the fray with the blind Mustang, along with Lt. Riza Hawkeye supporting him, and Major Alex Louis Armstrong spearheading the attack. Eventually, though attempting to absorb Greed to replenish his stone, the fight begins to take its toll on Father after he destroys Ed's automail arm with relative ease. A large surge of energy explodes from Father, sending everyone around him flying. Father begins to lose control of his God as a result of using up too much of his stone energy to defend himself. Father then turns to a pinned Ed, and desperately moves to take Fullmetal's soul to replenish his stone supply. Ed, however, is saved by Al, who uses May's help to sacrifice himself in exchange for the return of Ed's original right arm. A distraught Edward calls Alphonse an idiot before releasing himself from his pinned state and beginning a furious barrage of attacks against Father, greatly depleting Father's stone. A confrontation between two individuals born from the same man. On the verge of defeat and reeling in shock at being bested by a mere human, Father dashes at Greed to claim his Philosopher's Stone from Ling's body. However, Greed takes this opportunity to start destroying Father's body, using his power of carbonization to turn Father's body into the weakest form of carbon - graphite. Enraged that his own son would rebel against him to the end, Father destroys Greed's soul. However, ensuring Greed's death was not in vain, Edward uses this opportunity to punch a hole through Father's chest, through which the remaining Xerxesian Souls of his Philosopher's Stone escape. With no power left to contain "God" or to sustain his physical existence, Father is horrified as "God" emerges from his body and grabs him. Father laments the harshness of reality, crying out that he does not understand why reality does not permit him to get his greatest desires, and why freedom seems so impossible to achieve; soon his body disintegrates. The Dwarf in the Flask is finally banished to whence he came. Father, now in his original form, appears before the Gate and asks God why he was not accepted as its vessel, and gets a reply: "It's because you did not believe in yourself." When Father searches for the origin of the voice, encountering the Truth, yet unaware of Truth's identity as it berates Father for trying to take the power of someone greater than him. Father claims that he wanted all the knowledge in the world and that he wanted to know what God knew. He then goes on to ask what was wrong with wanting, wishing and chasing your desires, showing the humanity he tried to purge himself of. Truth mocks him, saying that taking the power of God didn't make him God, but rather a cunning thief. Demanding to know who he is speaking to, Father is horrified when Truth formally introduces itself and states itself as the Truth as he defines it: giving despair to discourage one from becoming boastful and proud. Truth tells Father that he'll receive his most fitting despair as the Gates open up and hands appear to grab Father. Father begins crying as he desperately asks what he did wrong to deserve this and where he went wrong, showing the flaws he tried to purge himself of. Ultimately, stripped of the freedom he cherished, Father is sucked into the Gate and once again becomes part of the endless abyss within. Father makes a brief cameo in episode 2, when Edward is reading a book about the Philosopher's Stone. Father's original flask-bound form was most likely inspired by real-life concepts of Homunculi. Supposedly, if an alchemist was successful in creating such a being, he was to keep it inside of a glass flask for a certain period of time, as it would die in its "infancy" stage outside of it. Father's evolved multi-eyed and multi-mouthed form and its giant incarnation could be a play on the "Homunculus argument" fallacy. Both Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood and the latter half of the manga of Soul Eater were developed by Studio Bones, inspiring several new characters in the series, one of which being Table of Contents, a mysterious character that has numerous similarities to Father, acting as the leader of a group of characters based on the seven deadly sins, and was created by another character infatuated with the path of knowledge. Father and Envy from the 2003 anime share several similarities, as both have some sort of previous affiliation with Hohenheim, being created by him. The two were considered the first Homunculi in their respective storylines, being approximately 400 years old. It is also interesting to note that Envy's original form resembles Father's fourth form, with both looking like younger versions of Hohenheim. Though it's stated numerous times that Father has expelled all of his sins, it's interesting to note he acts in a way similar to that of the sins: He desires for becoming a perfect being (Lust); devours souls with no self-control (Gluttony); seeks power at all costs (Greed); prefers to let others do his bidding for him while being incredibly incompetent and doing little to nothing to further his own goals over hundreds of years (Sloth); feels anger towards any opposition, principally Hohenheim (Wrath); has a desire for a family like humans (Envy); views humans as "ants" (Pride). However, given the general vagueness of these behaviors, as well as his dispassionate demeanor compared to both prior to the creation of and after the death of the homunculi, seems to imply that he did get himself purged of his sins. Indeed, the process of rejecting his sins is hinted by the Truth to be the reason for his malevolence. He's told Greed that anything he wanted was desired by him first, meaning that Greed's desire for friends was something Father desired but expelled because he thought it was a weakness. His largely prideful-seeming nature may be a reference to pride being the "father of all sins", though it's easy to argue that his biggest sin is sloth rather than pride. Despite desperate for souls to replenish his Philosopher's Stone when the Amestrians souls were taken from him, Father completely ignores Pride (who had both the Philosopher's Stones of Gluttony and Kimblee within him along with his own.) It's possible he spared Pride to buy him time to escape. It is also possible that the forced Human Transmutation had made Pride's (and those who were inside him) Philosopher's Stones unstable. When Father succeeded in opening the Gate, he emerged from the ground in a much larger form of himself. This massive form of Father is exactly the same as his previous form yet his body is slightly altered. He is much thinner, showing what looks like a rib cage, a more muscular body, the multitude of eyes and wide grins that were on his previous form are gone, and he now has one large, bulging eye on his forehead. Father's image bears a striking resemblance with the image concept of God as an old man with robes in multiple religions. Ironically, the nature and symbolism of his origin, methods, and goals actually make him the closest analog the Fullmetal Alchemist franchise has to Satan. Dr. Tim Marcoh referring to the Philosopher's Stone as "the Devil's research" is found to hint at this when it turns out that Father is responsible for the first stones ever created and seeks to achieve "godhood" by further powering his own stone with souls. Father's voice actor in both the Japanese and English version also narrates the 2009 anime. They can be heard previewing the next episode and at the beginning of the first few episodes where they briefly explain the concept of alchemy to the viewers. Once revealed as the narrator, he speaks in much more scornful and condescending phrases when giving the preview. Father's English voice actor also voiced Majhal from the 2003 anime. In the 2009 anime, before Father gets sucked back to the Gate (while in his fourth appearance), he loses both of his arms (the other arm was lost when he destroyed Greed), unlike in the manga where he only loses one arm and one leg, ironically mirroring what happened to Ed at the beginning of the story. Father is the character with the greatest amount of changes in terms of increasing his own capacities, due to his numerous transformations. In the original Japanese version of Brotherhood, when Father is in his "old man" form, he sounds like he's struggling to pronounce certain words, and talks at a very slow pace, when he's in his original form, he speaks much more fluently. Truth's ultimate punishment for Father seems poetic: by letting the Eye of God drag him back into the Eye, they let Father become as high as God in some senses whilst stripping Father completely of the freedom he cherished. In the manga, Father's eyes in his fourth form are dark purple and, like those of Envy, Lust and Greed, have slit pupils. In the 2009 anime, they are golden with round pupils like Edward's, possibly to further imitate Hohenheim's appearance. Also, Father's fourth appearance wears sandals in the manga whereas in the anime he appears barefoot. Before meeting the Elric brothers for the first time, Father and Hohenheim's actions are coordinated very specifically to match up in the manga, leaving it ambiguous if he and Hohenheim are indeed the same person. Despite basing itself wholly on the manga, the 2009 anime does not include any of these scenes. When Father is sucked back into the Gate, it could almost be seen as comical that such a tiny creature was responsible for the entire plot of the story. Since each of the Homunculi he created were partially made of his soul in an attempt to cleanse himself of his sins, a part of him is still alive due to Pride never being fully destroyed. This could possibly hint that Father may be able to possibly be reborn or recreated through Pride. Though because he was banished back into the Gate from where he originated, it is unclear if this could actually happen. The Gate that Father appears in front of is completely blank. This could possibly signify that a Homunculus can't use alchemy normally. Considering the gate seems to portray a different alchemic symbol (such as Mustang's transmutation circle) between alchemists, it may also be seen to represent Father's status as a being originating from the gate itself. This could also signify Father, as the Truth stated that Father "stole his powers from others", and thus never had any real power of his own. The gate could also represent what they had learned, as Truth stated that Father "stole his power from others", this might imply that since Father only stole and never learned anything, his Gate was blank.

Electronic address: [email protected]. DOI: 10.1016/j.pcad.2022.11.016 Background: Lower neighborhood median household income (nMHI) is associated with increased adverse outcomes in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). However, its effect on mortality is yet unknown. Methods: Data from the regional United States (U.S.) electronic medical records database, Research Action for Health Network (REACHnet), was extracted for adult patients with AF at Tulane Medical Center over 10 years. Annual nMHI & neighborhood high school graduation (HSG) data was collected from the US Census bureau. Only African Americans (AA) and Caucasians (CC) who had socioeconomic data were included. Low nMHI and low HSG were defined as ≤$25,000 & <90% respectively. High nMHI and HSG were defined as >$50,000 & ≥90% respectively. Primary endpoints were all cause and cardiovascular (CV) mortality. Cox-proportional hazard ratios were used to evaluate the endpoints. Results: We included 4616 patients diagnosed with AF. During a median follow up of 4.6 years, 434 patients died of which 32.7% patients had CV mortality. There was a stepwise decrease in incidence of both all-cause and CV mortality as nMHI increased. Patients with low nMHI had the greatest risk of all-cause mortality (HR 1.9, C.I. 1.2-3.2, P 0.004). The association between low nMHI and all-cause mortality persisted after adjusting for age, sex, race, HSG and stroke risk factors using CHA2DS2VASC, delta CHA2DS2VASC scores and oral anticoagulant use. CV mortality followed a similar trend as all-cause mortality, however, this association was not significant after adjusting for the above variables. Apart from low nMHI, CHA2DS2VASC delta CHA2DS2VASC were statistically significant independent predictors of both all-cause and CV mortality. Conclusion: Low nMHI is an independent risk factor for all cause and CV mortality in AF. Higher burden of co-morbidities is the driving force behind this disparity. Future studies should evaluate the role of educational and therapeutic intervention in these populations to reduce mortality.

Hill House / MGAO Matt Goodman Hill House is a private residence designed by Matt Goodman in 2013 in Australia characterised by a long, thin plan oriented toward the views of the valley. Hill House technical information Architects : MGAO / Matt Goodman Architecture Office Location : VALLA, NSW, Australia Typology : Residential / Private House Status: Concept Project Year : 2013 Images : © Courtesy of Matt Goodman Architecture Office Each block opens out to the valley in a manner appropriate for the function of the room, by drawing the surrounding landscape into the interior spaces or by omitting the view to provide a sense of seclusion and privacy. – Matt Goodman Project Photographs Description by MGAO This project is a private residence located in Valla, a small village in the Nambucca Valley on the mid north coast of NSW. The site itself is situated on a small plateau, bound on three sides by valley and on one side by dense bushland. The building's long, thin plan runs along the northern edge of the plateau, orientating itself toward the sun and views to the valley beyond. The northern and southern façades are distinctly different, one open and one closed. The southern 'closed' façade is clad entirely in corrugated sheet, providing the house with a homogenous, rural quality. The numerous barns and hay sheds, which dot the landscape alongside the Pacific Highway, inspire the blankness of the southern façade, which conceals the activities that occur inside and the views of the valley beyond. The 'open' northern façade is broken into three distinct blocks, one for working, one for living and one for sleeping. All three blocks are connected by a spinal corridor, which runs the length of the project and also functions as a gallery space displaying the client's photography work. Each block opens out to the valley in a manner appropriate for the function of the room, by drawing the surrounding landscape into the interior spaces or by omitting the view to provide a sense of seclusion and privacy.

(Phys.org) —Using only biomolecules (such as DNA and enzymes), scientists at the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology have developed and constructed an advanced biological transducer, a computing machine capable of manipulating genetic codes, and using the output as new input for subsequent computations. The breakthrough might someday create new possibilities in biotechnology, including individual gene therapy and cloning. The findings appear today (May 23, 2013) in Chemistry & Biology (Cell Press). Interest in such biomolecular computing devices is strong, mainly because of their ability (unlike electronic computers) to interact directly with biological systems and even living organisms. No interface is required since all components of molecular computers, including hardware, software, input and output, are molecules that interact in solution along a cascade of programmable chemical events. "Our results show a novel, synthetic designed computing machine that computes iteratively and produces biologically relevant results," says lead researcher Prof. Ehud Keinan of the Technion Schulich Faculty of Chemistry. "In addition to enhanced computation power, this DNA-based transducer offers multiple benefits, including the ability to read and transform genetic information, miniaturization to the molecular scale, and the aptitude to produce computational results that interact directly with living organisms." The transducer could be used on genetic material to evaluate and detect specific sequences, and to alter and algorithmically process genetic code. Similar devices, says Prof. Keinan, could be applied for other computational problems. "All biological systems, and even entire living organisms, are natural molecular computers. Every one of us is a biomolecular computer, that is, a machine in which all components are molecules "talking" to one another in a logical manner. The hardware and software are complex biological molecules that activate one another to carry out some predetermined chemical tasks. The input is a molecule that undergoes specific, programmed changes, following a specific set of rules (software) and the output of this chemical computation process is another well defined molecule."

How is it that the United States spends the most money on healthcare, and yet still has the one of the lowest life expectancies of all developed nations? (To be specific: $9,400 per capita, 79 years, and 31st.) Harvard Health. In Fact, when faced with a life-threatening situation, only 30% of people make a concerted effort to change their diet and lifestyles. That means 70% do not! Please don't under estimate the power of a great diet, stress and exercise and limited sugar. It could change your life! Literally! I honestly believe that if everyone knew the power of essential oils and a chemical free home, they would jump in with both feet blindfolded. My question is, what can I help you learn? Give you an alternative natural solution to man-made lab solutions. Before we continue, I do want to say that essential oils don't cure you. YOU BODY does that. The question is what is your body not getting to help itself? In order to help ourselves, we need to look at some route cause. i.e let's not put on a band aid and ignore it, let's look at why. Many (including myself when I started) had no idea about the potency, the gifts they bring and the lifestyle you creep into. You see, when you start small using purification instead of Fabreze because you know Fabreeze contains formaldehyde, you just acquire knowledge and information that resonates. Over time, traditional solutions get switched out for natural solutions that support your body and not just mask conditions and add to your body burden (Over time chemicals your body is exposed to builds up). So how do you start? One simple step at a time. Your starter kit has over 1110 drops of awesome. One drop of an essential oil contains approximately 40 Trillion Molecules (40,000,000,000,000,000,000) We have 100 trillion cells in our bodies (which is a lot!). So here are some simple ways to start slow and easy. Leave the soda behind. Add a drop of lemon into your glass of water for a gently detox and a refreshing taste! Get a good night's rest. For those of you laughing at me, I know, I know. Comitt to the process. You can't heal if you don't rest. Switch off your phone. Make your bedroom a soothing place. Meditate. Diffuse Lavender. Take a tub. Do what you need to relax and chill out. It might only take 5 mins but could save you years! Put all your cleaners in a black trash bag and put them in your garage for one month. (Include the candles and plug ins too). Use Thieves cleaner. I want to hear how different you feel after 1 month. Your sinuses will thank you, your hormones will thank you and you will thank you! The daily quota for fruits and veggies is now 18 a day! Supplementation is key. Take your supplements. We are bombarded with oxidative stress and we need antioxidants. Get them. Ningxia is a great place to start. Think about the things you take and make a list. Do your research and see what you can replace it with. Your kit has options and oils are versatile. You may not use every single one every single day, in fact, I would be surprised if you do. But when you need them, they will be there for you, like a loyal friend. To wake you up when you feel dreary and sleepy.

Home / Archive by category Synthesizer Archive by category Synthesizer The synthesizer or 'Synth', as it's more commonly known, was responsible for a musical revolution in the 1980's. Synths had been around much earlier than that but it was the new wave of 'Synth Pop' artists and bands like Kraftwerk, Eurythmics, Depeche Mode and Gary Numan that really made the 'Synth' a household name and sound. We've put together an electrically charged offering of free Garageband synth loops to help you get your beats on the right track. Just login, like and download. These days the synth has become ubiquitous for musical genres like house, dubstep and even variations of Hip Hop. Ever since record companies started clamping down on the use of samples by Hip Hop producers there was a shift towards producers creating their sounds from scratch, so the synth was the default instrument. This gave rise to a much more 'electronic' sound like Trap music and Dirty South which hardly features any sampled music at all. Synthesizers have been with us for a long time and it's clear that they'll continue to be an important contribution to modern music for a long time to come. Free Garageband Synth Loops and Samples Let's say a big thank you for the synthesizer. There's a little controversy over who exactly invented what we now know as the 'synth' but whoever it was - … November 19, 2013 | Synthesizer

Regional differences in Covid-19 transmission rate emerge in England London has seen steeper decline in R rate but north has slower fall in infections, and estimates vary Passengers waiting at Vauxhall bus station, London: greater use of transport services has been reported in the city this week, reflecting the increasing number of people returning to work. Photograph: Wiktor Szymanowicz/Barcroft Media/Getty Hannah Devlin @hannahdev Fri 15 May 2020 12.53 EDT Transmission rates of Covid-19 remain dangerously close to levels that could bring a second wave, even before the easing of some restrictions this week, as the focus shifts to transmission rates in the north of England. The latest official estimate places the national R value – the rate at which people are passing on infections to others – at between 0.7 and 1. An R value above 1 means the epidemic will start to grow exponentially again, which would result in a new surge of cases. It raises questions about the extent to which restrictions can be safely eased in coming weeks. In his address on Sunday, Boris Johnson said: "We have the R below 1, between 0.5 and 0.9 – but potentially only just below 1." The slight increase and narrowing in range is not linked to lockdown relaxations this week as the estimate is based largely on hospital admissions and deaths data, which reflect the levels of transmission two to three weeks ago. A likely explanation is that while overall levels of infection have fallen, hospital and care home settings are making a relatively bigger contribution to the overall estimate of R. Lockdown restrictions have less impact in these settings and there are still concerns about the levels of testing available in care homes. The figure suggests that, while the lockdown has been effective at bringing down case numbers, R is still close to 1, meaning that it would not be possible to ease restrictions significantly without new measures to contain outbreaks, such as extensive testing and tracing. It comes as data showed that while London was a hotspot of infection at the start of the epidemic, attention is now shifting to the north of England, where transmission rates of Covid-19 appear to be falling far less steeply. Map - Covid-19 cases Some epidemiological models suggest transmission rates in the capital are now half those seen in the north-east and Yorkshire, raising the question of whether all areas will be safe to emerge from lockdown at the same time. There is growing unease among civic leaders in the north of England at plans to ease lockdown rules, with one council leader branding it as "frankly, madness". The leader of Gateshead council, Martin Gannon, said on Friday that the advice to the public to "stay at home" would continue. Gannon, whose views on lockdown were echoed by his counterparts in Newcastle and Sunderland, said there was evidence that the R rate was greater than 1 in his borough. How do models calculate the R value? The R value tells you how many infections each infected person passes the virus on to, on average. For an R above 1, the epidemic increases exponentially; below 1 it will eventually fizzle out. In the absence of direct measures of this elusive number, modellers have to rely on what firm data we have and extrapolate from there. Some models, such as one by Public Health England (PHE) and Cambridge University, rely on the numbers of reported deaths, and the steep, steady decline in deaths in London translates into an estimate that community transmission must have also rapidly dropped off. Deaths are reliable figures, less subject to biases than some other measures, but they reflect the infection rates that were occurring about three weeks previously and so do not give a dynamic reflection of where things are. Policy changes around working and socialising introduced in the past week may have influenced R, but a model based on deaths will not give any insights into this. The PHE model projected that there might be as few as 24 new cases in the capital per day on 10 May. This reflects the strong downward trend London has been on, but the model is not designed to give razor-sharp predictions of day-by-day infection statistics. On Thursday, 49 people with new infections were admitted to hospitals in London. Some models rely on measures such as symptoms reported to phone apps, which have a shorter lag time. However, these data are more "noisy" and so give a less robust measure of R overall, although they can give better insight into short-range changes. How sure are we about regional differences? Almost all available data and models suggest there are strong regional differences in terms of the number of infections and current transmission rates. Serology surveys suggest that more than 10% of people in London have been infected with Covid-19, compared with around 4% in the rest of the country. In general, urban centres have had more infections than rural areas. The data from hospital admissions and deaths also suggest that R has come down far more steeply in London than in other regions. The PHE and Cambridge model suggests that R in London is 0.4, compared with 0.8 in the north-east and Yorkshire and 0.75 for the country as a whole. R value – highest in NE and Yorkshire This is one of a handful of models feeding into advice from the Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies (Sage) to government, and all are showing broadly similar patterns across the regions. However, the extent of the differences varies, meaning that an optimistic estimate for London cannot be relied on too heavily. Matt Keeling, professor of populations and disease at the University of Warwick, described the PHE/Cambridge estimate for London as "extremely low". His own team's predictions put the London R value closer to 0.6. "This still predicts a faster decline in London than the rest of the country, but not as dramatic … The difference between 0.4 and 0.6 might sound like scientists arguing over small details, but these translate to very substantial differences in the rate of decline of cases, or the time for the epidemic to halve," he said. What are the reasons for regional differences? Initially, London was a few weeks ahead of other regions of the country because far more infections were seeded there at the start of the epidemic. However, it has also seen a steeper decline and, in fact, may have always had a slightly lower community transmission rate than some other geographical regions. Daily reported Covid-19 cases by region There are likely to be a wide range of factors behind this. London may now have a higher level of population immunity, which could be playing a role in bringing down transmission, since a higher proportion of people have been infected. "If it turns out that there's loads of immunity in the community, then that's brilliant, but I don't think we should plan for that scenario," said Thomas House, reader in mathematical statistics at the University of Manchester. "We don't really know yet." There are also likely to be substantially different contributions from hospitals and care homes, where transmission rates have not been effectively brought under control. In some regions, the spread of infection in these settings, where lockdown does not have the same impact, could be making a major contribution to keeping R close to 1. Differences in living arrangements – for instance, larger family groups living together outside London – could play a role. Models may also not fully capture the role of underlying health issues and deprivation in raising the risk of severe cases. Is there evidence that people in some regions have complied less with the lockdown? There isn't strong evidence for this. The lockdown has brought down transmission rates in the community across the country, and a forthcoming study from scientists at Imperial College London does not seem to suggest that London has been an outlier in terms of compliance. "The uniformity with which the UK responded to the lockdown is remarkable," said Steven Riley, professor of infectious disease dynamics. "I thought maybe people in London who were close to a large epidemic would be much more compliant than elsewhere. But the behaviour change was very well synchronised across the UK." Do the models suggest restrictions should be eased regionally? This is an emerging view among scientists. "Based on just the epidemiology, it makes a tremendous amount of sense," said House. "There's no point locking down if there's no cases to prevent." However, he and others acknowledge that the political decision will be weighted by factors beyond simply modelling the trajectory of case numbers. "It's much more difficult to message the relaxation than it is to message the lockdown," said Riley. "I suspect the most difficult aspect on possible regional differences is how you would message it. That uncertainty would be much greater than any mechanistic modelling uncertainty." What does the 'R' number of coronavirus mean? – video explainer

Fred Blondin, né le à Suresnes dans les Hauts-de-Seine, est un chanteur, compositeur et musicien français. Biographie Fred Blondin réside dans sa ville natale de la banlieue parisienne jusqu'à l'âge de vingt ans. Après des études courtes : , et quelques petits boulots (cordonnier, pompiste ou taxi), Fred Blondin travaille comme éducateur à la DDASS jusqu'en 1996. Il en est alors à son troisième album. Blondin commence sa carrière sans avoir besoin de prénom, son premier opus s'appelant simplement Blondin. En signant chez Tréma pour son premier album en 1990, Blondin offre au grand public dix titres dont un le fera tout de suite entrer dans le « métier ». Avec Paris au bord des larmes (dont il compose la musique et coécrit les paroles avec Marc Strawzynski), il dévoile son talent de guitariste, compositeur et celui d'interprète possédant une voix puissante et rauque (rock). Ce premier album lui vaut une première nomination aux Victoires de la musique dans la catégorie « Révélation masculine de l'année ». Il est nommé une seconde fois en 1996. Il enchaîne plusieurs tournées dont une en première partie de Johnny Hallyday durant sa tournée d'été de 1996. En 1999, il part en tournée avec ses musiciens sur une péniche. Ils vont de Paris jusqu'à Sète, assurant des concerts gratuits tous les soirs, depuis le toit de la péniche ou à l'intérieur de celle-ci en cas de mauvais temps. Depuis les années 2000, il écrit et compose aussi pour d'autres artistes. En 2001, il compose Grâce à vous pour Frédéric Lerner. En 2003, il écrit et compose Dis-le-moi pour Johnny Hallyday sur l'album À la vie, à la mort. En 2005, il est l'auteur et le compositeur de Mon plus beau Noël et le compositeur de Ce qui ne tue pas nous rend plus fort, pour l'album Ma vérité de Johnny Hallyday. Toujours en 2005, il écrit et compose Ô mon Dieu pour Yannick Noah, et décide d'auto produire un nouvel album Même pas mal, qui voit le jour en 2011, en collaboration avec Dave Goodman. Puis en 2006, il écrit les paroles de C'est toi sur l'album Charango de Yannick Noah. En 2007, Julio Iglesias reprend le titre Donner, écrit et composé par Fred Blondin et figurant sur son album Mordre la poussière. En 2007, il compose deux titres Je reviendrai dans tes bras et Laquelle de toi pour l'album Le Cœur d'un homme de Johnny Hallyday. En 2008, il compose et réalise le générique TV de l'émission Bouge la France sur la chaîne Public Sénat, mais aussi On s'est aimés sur l'album Ça ne finira jamais de Johnny Hallyday, ainsi que le titre Et s'il fallait le faire sur l'album Kabaret de Patricia Kaas. Cette dernière représentera d'ailleurs la France avec cette chanson au Concours de l'Eurovision de la chanson en 2009, à Moscou et finira . Cette même année 2008, il est aussi l'un des parrains de la première édition du Tahiti guitare festival. En 2009 il compose avec le pianiste Yves Prével les musiques de la pièce de théâtre Panique au ministère qui reste numéro 1 au box office plus de deux mois ainsi que celles de La Cage aux folles avec Didier Bourdon et Christian Clavier, qui se joue de à . C'est en 2011 que Fred Blondin sort son album Même pas mal qu'il avait produit et réalisé en 2005 à Brême en Allemagne. Cette même année 2011, il compose les musiques de la pièce de théâtre d'Isabelle Mergault, L'Amour sur un plateau, avec Pierre Palmade, ainsi que le générique de l'émission de télé Midi en France présentée par Laurent Boyer tous les jours sur France 3. L'année 2012 est consacrée aux concerts à travers toute la France mais aussi en Belgique, au Maroc ou encore aux Seychelles dans une formule Seul en scène.

Home > Blog > 176 Year Old Newspaper Fights Slavery; Echos Today's News 176 Year Old Newspaper Fights Slavery; Echos Today's News Last August we received a plea via email: "We want a scan of four pages of a fragile 1841 newspaper that is approximately 16 7/8″ x 22 3/4″. I suspect this is too small a job for your company, but I thought I'd try. We are a small museum with a pitifully small budget." How could we resist? What Jane Rissler, director of the Jefferson County (W Va.) Museum and author of the email, didn't know is that we keep our eyes open for the occasional pro bono project – something small, something of historic interest, something we can promote and, because we are a business, something that can foster a future relationship. This particular project fit the bill – or as it happened, the lack of one. The masthead of this Morning Star edition discovered in Harpers Ferry, W. Va. bears the signature of Reverend Nathan Cook Brackett. Renovations and Revolutions The newspaper in question was an original edition of the Morning Star newspaper dated February 10, 1841. This was not a newspaper tucked neatly in museum archives. Instead, it was an opportunity that – quite literally – fell from above. Dr. Darren Lisse (left) presents the 1841 edition of the Morning Star to James Taylor (right), president of the Jefferson County (W. Va.) Black History Preservation Society. The newspaper was accidentally discovered by Dr. Darren Lisse, a Jefferson County physician, who was renovating a local historic home. As he pulled down an old horsehair ceiling as part of the restoration, the folded newspaper tumbled along with the ceiling. The paper was framed and for several years graced the walls of the renovated home. Eventually, Dr. Lisse contacted the Jefferson County Black History Preservation Society which was thrilled to learn of the paper's existence and the document was transferred in a formal ceremony on July 14, 2016. The Morning Star was published by the Freewill Baptists from 1826 – 1911. It's original function was to disseminate the news and beliefs of the Freewill Baptist denomination. Under new leadership in 1834, the once-conservative newspaper made an editorial turn to promote the cause of abolition and met with resistance from both local government and its readership. By the publication of this 1841 edition, however, the call of freedom for all was widely embraced and the Morning Star became a flagship voice for the abolition of slavery. On the front page of the edition discovered by Dr. Lisse, one can plainly see "N Brackett" in bold handwriting, giving this particular copy additional significance. Reverend Nathan Cook Brackett was a Freewill Baptist minister who educated freed slaves and eventually helped to found Storer College in 1867, the only West Virginia college at the time open to African American men and women. Brackett was well-liked by all races and pushed forth the idea that African Americans could and should educate each other rather than rely on missionaries. No Such Thing as Old News Crowley Imaging used a Zeutschel large-format scanner to digitize and preserve the pages electronically. The overhead scanner uses a cool LED lighting system, a sophisticated software program and a low-pressure glass plate that is gentle on an original. A slight border was allowed around the newspaper edges to ensure that all data was captured. The images were delivered via thumb drive as 300 dpi color TIFF and JPG Q80 derivative files and also as a 300 dpi color multi-page searchable PDF document. With the exception of the issue of slavery, it seemed to me as I perused the PDF that many of the articles found in this issue of the Morning Star are not that different than those on today's news pages. Punctuation and formal language aside, it seems we may not have progressed as far in nearly two centuries as we think we have. Here are a few excerpts that caught my eye (italics and topic heads are mine; the punctuation is original). You can read the whole paper here: A large State convention has recently been held at Columbus, the capital—which, says the correspondent of the Philanthopist [sic], was " a body of men, that for respectability and weight of character, clearness of intellect and argumentative talent, independence and fearlessness of spirit, and determinateness of purpose, has never been surpassed by any other assembly of Citizens in the state of Ohio." The article reports on a number of resolutions made at the convention, including: 3. That slavery exists under the jurisdiction of the Federal government, that it uses the power of this government to extend its domination and advance its interests at the expense of the interests of free labor; that it has invaded the Federal Constitution, and violated some of the most precious rights of the people of this union; that it has operated most injuriously on the legislation and politics of the free states, and on the domestic and foreign policy of the nation. The war with China is supposed to be ended, the "Brother of the Sun and Moon" having agreed to pay the English $15,000,000,and give them an island near Canton, if they would evacuate the Chusan group.—The tea speculators are in agony. The war in Affghanistan [sic] has ended by the defeat and surrender of Dost Mohammed to the British forces. Public Debauchery Rum. A man by the name of Orcutt was found drunk in Concord a few days since by the police and put into a place for safe keeping till he became sober. Congressional Doings, or talkings rather: for talk continues to be the order of the day. The debate over, not on, the Treasury Note Bill, in the House, has continued to the present time. The article continues, mentioning the specifics of a bill and then launches into perhaps my favorite paragraph. The only item besides, worth noting, we give in the words of the correspondent of the New York Evangelist. "There was a rare scene in the House yesterday (January 21) occasioned by the introduction of an Abolition petition by Mr. Adams. The Speaker decided, that the portion of it relating to the non-admission of slave holding Territories into the Union, was admissible. An appeal was made from the decision of the chair. At length a point of order was raised, then another, and another; till at last the whole concern became so involved and entangled, that no one seemed to know precisely how matters stood; and a member sung out, "You are out of order all round!" And in fact, this member appeared to be nearer the mark than all of them." Today, the fragile newspaper is safely stored in the Jefferson County Museum archives with the hopes that a reproduction may one day be on display. For now, say Rissler, "We are caretakers for this loan from the Jefferson County Black History Preservation Society and are happy to be so. This is an important part of our local and national history." Below are several links to further enhance an understanding of how this accidental find fits into American history. As a side note, this year will see several celebrations of the 150th anniversary of Storer College's founding, including a display at the Jefferson County Museum.

Q: How to get name of view from actionmethod in mvc5? I have a situation of rendering different GET view depending on different clients. But all these Get views are doing POST to same end point. I want to know which view is doing POST so that i can render calling view if there is error? A: Add a hidden input property to the model that you base the views on: [HiddenInput] public string Client { get; set; } Then add it at the beginning of the form in all the views: @Html.HiddenFor(m => m.Client) Now, in the controller, you can assign the client value to the Client property when building the model in the GET action, and check it for the decision you want to make in your POST action. UPDATE If you don't want to add an extra property to the model, you can use ViewBag to hold the value (though the model solution above is better). In the controller, you can assign the client value in the GET action: ViewBag.Client = client; Then add it at the beginning of the form in all the views: <input type="hidden" name="Client" value="@ViewBag.Client" /> And then check it for the decision you want to make in your POST action. Since it is not part of your model, you'll have to get it separately: public IActionResult PostAction(MyModel mode, string client) { switch(client) { //... } } Note: the method above, allows you to use the same view for more than one client, essentially allowing you to create a kind of client groups or types. But if you actually have a different view for each client, then you don't need to pass a value by ViewBag and you can hard code it directly in each view: <input type="hidden" name="Client" value="Client1" /> A: The HttpMethod property on the HttpRequest object will get it for you. You can use this in your Controller: using System.Net.Http; if (HttpContext.Request.HttpMethod == HttpMethod.Post.Method) { // The action is a post method } If you would like to find which View has called an action method, you can use the following in your Url.Action : @Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(Server.MapPath(VirtualPath)) An example call could be: @Url.Action("Action","Controller",new{callingView=Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(Server.MapPath(VirtualPath))}) You would need add a parameter to your controller method: public ActionResult Action(MyModel model, string callingView) You can read more about @VirtualPath here

Inumine has short green hair that parts to the left and bright orange eyes. In his school uniform, Inumine wears his tie loose and shirt untucked. He does not wear the standard school vest and leaves his blazers unbuttoned. In his training attire, he wears a white zip hoodie with black trims on the pockets and a black line that starts at his shoulders and goes all the way down the sleeves. He wears the sleeves 3/4 down his arms. His hoodie is unzipped and inside, he wears an orange shirt with black trims at the neckline. He wears a pair of grey shorts and a pair of white dancing shoes. Inumine has an odd personality that resembles a dog that doesn't listen. Described by Tatsumi as a useless person except for musicals, Inumine's habits and activities annoy other people. Although he is somewhat prideful of himself and his team, he is unaware of his surroundings when focused on things like finding food. His teammates state that it is a normal thing for him break out and sing whenever he feels like it. Ugawa and Inumine are classmates, teammates, and roommates. Ugawa finds it hard to relax when they are together. He, along with the rest of Team Hiragi, believe Inumine is useless for anything except musicals. Toraishi scolding Inumine for eating ice cream right before their performance. Toraishi is usually the one who has to deal with Inumine's incompetence whenever Inumine disappears. Toraishi will throw his shoe at him and give him commands, just like a master towards a dog. Kuga notes that Toraishi has it hard. His Zodiac sign is Taurus. He is roommates, classmates, and teammates with Ugawa. His bed is the bottom bunk. His icon in the group chat is a picture of a stuffed Shumai Dog. His favorite animal is the elephant. He has never lost at rock-paper-scissors. According to Ugawa, Inumine grinds his teeth, eats rice balls, and opens his eyes when he sleeps. According to Sawatari, Inumine's sixth sense is more accurate than any map. His family owns a Chinese restaurant in Chinatown, Yokohama called the Bow-Wow House. He dresses up as its mascot, Shumai Dog, and performs at events. In Season 1 Act 7, he breaks through the wall of Hiragi family villa's warehouse, leaving a hole resembling his figure behind. Season 2 Act 6 makes reference to this by showing the hole patched up with different-colored wood panels. In 'AYANAGI Animal Park Series', his animal motif is the Shumai Dog. In 'AYANAGI April Fools Series', he is a chef at Ryokan Hiragian. In 'AYANAGI IF Series' post card set, he is a prisoner. The second track in Season 2 Volume 5 Special Drama CD is titled after his name 'Inumine Seishiro'. He failed the midterm exams and had to take the make-up exams twice, which he also failed. The teachers allowed him to pass because they gave up and figured his good grades in performing arts would make up for it in the final exams. He always runs off somewhere during practice. His teammates don't think too much about not seeing him for a while. They didn't even notice he was absent for a long period due to extra make-up classes. He believes he knows French based on the fact that he gets along well with Yuzuriha. However, Sawatari later points out to him that 90% of what Yuzuriha says is actually in Japanese. He is good at sports but can never remember the rules for competitions. He can ride a bicycle but doesn't know the traffic rules, so his parents advise him not to ride outside. He has no control over his strength and breaks ten blocks of wood during woodblock printing. He finds out that he is allergic to clay during clay sculpting. He falls asleep during sketching competitions. He is not good with machines and technology. He does not get involved in fights. He is confident in rock-paper-scissors. People's first impression of him is 'big'. He is confident of the robustness of his body. His weakness is being sleepy too soon into the night. His nickname during middle school was 'retriever'. He likes to run as a means of transportation. He doesn't know what is written in his report book. He never said what he cannot forgive as he fell asleep at the question. The first thing he does in the morning is sing. His favourite food is meat. He spends his day off by eating, sleeping, running and singing. One bad thing about himself is that he will suddenly distance himself too much when first meeting someone. His favourite place is school, Ayanagi Gakuen. He deals with stress by eating, sleeping, running and singing. He wants to sing now. He is good at physical education and music. He has been praised for reading out loud in Japanese. He is bad at other subjects. He is unable to do without sleep and meals. His favourite drinks are drinks with tapioca. The neighbourhood near his home sells them. He is not dexterous as he is clumsy but he often sketches. His favourite weather is all of them. Last words: "Although my body is big~♪ My heart is kind and friendly~♪ Actually, that's just like a big dog! If you every happen to see me, I hope you'll listen to my voice ☆" ↑ The Japanese wikipedia page cites 'Season 2 Volume 2 BD.DVD Enclosed Booklet' as the source.

Oh, absolutely I agree. It is hard, but I agree. Same with that raise, the promotion, the boyfriend, anything that is a "final goal to happiness" won't ultimately do the "trick". I found it HAS to come from me, from inside, and it ebbs and flows. Somedays I've got it, others… nooope.

One of my favourite things about Vegas is honestly the sheer variety of food that you can enjoy at any time of day. Whether you're looking for michelin star elegance, all you can eat buffets, or 4am pancakes, there's a place for you. I will start out by saying that every time i've been to Vegas it's been during the summer when the temperature is around 40°C/104°F, so i'm not sure what the terraces are like in the winter, but I can only imagine they are just as wonderful! I'll start out with an oldie but goodie, Denny's. I know what you're thinking, there's so many places to go! But sometimes, you just want a big breakfast and a stack of pancakes. This is a perfect one if you're planning on a day of drinking, as the food's going to help you out by lining your stomach, it's open 24/7 and we found it the perfect start to our morning when we were heading to Wet Republic after to dance the day away! Who wouldn't want to wake up and start their day with a stack of pancakes?! My next recommendation is another chain, but so worth the visit. Hard Rock Cafe Las Vegas has the most wonderful 1st floor outside terrace for you to watch the world go by, sipping fruity cocktails and cooling down under the mist machines. I may be slightly swayed by this, but we don't really get chicken and waffles in the UK, and if we did, we probably wouldn't get them covered in delicious syrup. Which is crazy, as it is the most delicious breakfast ever. Though maybe it's a good thing, or I think i'd have it every day! My last breakfast recommendation, and it's the best one. If you're looking for something a little more fancy with an amazing view, I would definitely suggest that you head over to the Paris hotel and visit Mon Ami Gabi. With only 5 restaurants in the world, all located in the US, you get the sense of a company that really cares about the food it produces, just look at these waffles and eggs benedict plates! The restaurant has both an inside, elegant section, and a more casual outside veranda which overlooks the Bellagio fountains. We visited in the morning to watch the world go by over a girly breakfast, but if you booked a table for dinner, watching the sun set and the fountains dancing to the music, i'd challenge you to find a better view in the whole of the city. I have Instagram to thank for finding this wonderful place. I'm a huge fan of food blogs, and seeing all the places that people find across the world. I actually stumbled across Black Tap from seeing a photo from their NYC restaurant, then when I visited their hashtag I was extremely happy to find they also have one in the Venetian hotel on the strip! Have you ever seen prettier monster shakes? I will admit, getting a photo of these before they melted in the heat was a race against the clock, but definitely worth it. They also taste as good as they look! We needed something salty to balance the sugar so we also got a side of Idaho fries with Texas BBQ sauce, and they were incredible. You can either sit inside in the stylish interior, or soak in the rays outside watching the gondolas go by! This place is definitely worth the visit. This is one of the best restaurants I think i've ever been to. I'll admit I was slightly confused at first as we walked up to the door and into a jewellery store. The actual restaurant is hidden behind a secret door at the back of the store. Whilst this is a great restaurant for anyone, if you're wanting dinner and cocktails with your girls, this is the place for you. Plus if your table isn't ready, there's free champagne whilst you wait, how could you say no to that?! Beauty and Essex has a menu that you order from Tapas style, with sharing plates. We ordered 3 plates and 2 fries between the 3 of us, and as incredible as it was we just couldn't finish it! This is somewhere that I would go back to again and again as it has a really great vibe inside, with dimmed sparkling lights and groups of people laughing and toasting you get a real sense of the elegance of Vegas in here. No trip to vegas, or really many US cities, would be complete without a trip to hooters for their legendary boneless wings. These don't really need an introduction, and as always they were amazing. There is only one hooters restaurant in the whole of the UK, so I hardly ever get to enjoy these! We headed over to Hooters after we first arrived in Vegas, we had been travelling for around 15/16 hours when we arrived, so we just dropped off our cases, and headed to the Hooters hotel for wings, fries and to watch the golden knights! It's everything we needed. There are many many other places that I could mention, from the cheesecake factory to TAO there's something for everyone, and I already can't wait for my next trip. What's your favourite place to eat in Vegas?

Understanding MySQL Internals. By Sasha Pachev, O'Reilly 2007. Page count: about 227 pages. (Here's a link to the publisher's site). I should have read this book a long time ago, and it's my loss that I didn't. Although the title makes it sound like it should only benefit those who'll be changing the MySQL server's own code, that's not true. To the contrary, at least parts of this book should be required reading for DBAs and developers who use MySQL, after they gain a moderate level of familiarity with how to use the server. The book does indeed start off with a few chapters on the source code, how to work with it, and the core structures that make up the MySQL server at the source code level. However, even these topics hold value for users such as DBAs. If you don't know how the server really works, you are lost when you are faced with a problem or asked to understand some behavior. Peter Zaitsev refers to this as "X-Ray Vision," something a good DBA or consultant needs. I think the first few chapters of this book are a great way to develop that X-Ray Vision into MySQL. The next couple of chapters are on the client/server API, configuration variables, and thread-based architecture. Although the first is probably not a core competency for DBAs, the others are. I sure wish I'd had the client/server protocol chapter handy when I was working with the protocol, though. It is variously more useful than, and a good supplement to, the internals document on the MySQL wiki. The following chapters cover the storage engine interface, the server-level lock manager and how it interacts with the storage-engine locking, and the parser and optimizer. These are absolutely core knowledge for DBAs and developers in my opinion. The server/storage-engine division is one of the things that makes MySQL different from other databases, and is mandatory to understand deeply. This applies equally well to the rest of the chapters, which cover the parser, optimizer, various storage engines (as opposed to just the server's interface to them), transactions, and replication. Mandatory, every one. What's missing? I found that the book is kind of funny in one major way. It doesn't talk much about MySQL 5.0. Instead, it delves into 4.x and 5.1. Most of the new features in 5.0 are not mentioned at all. Stored procedures, the INFORMATION_SCHEMA, triggers, and so on are absent, as are most discussions of changes to the optimizer and so forth. Some 5.0 topics are covered: index merge, for example. But by and large, there's not a lot of coverage here. The 5.1-specific topics are those such as the new storage engine API and row-based binary logging. Events are not covered, nor are changes to other types of logging. Honestly, I feel this is appropriate in a book this size; the stuff that hasn't changed since 4.x days is more important to understand. There's little discussion of exactly how certain features work, such as the different sorting algorithms. But that's OK. These are covered pretty well by the MySQL manual, and even by my own book High Performance MySQL 2nd Edition. I think some other major topics might be missing, but I can't quite think of them now. The book is really well written. I expected it to be dry but it's not at all. It's actually engaging and interesting. I also found a curious thing happening as I read: I became more aware of how much legacy cruft there is inside MySQL, and how much that has contributed to various shortcomings. This made me actually feel sad, and made me yearn for the bright pure clean exciting vision that Drizzle strives towards. But at the same time I kind of felt nostalgic, kind of fell a little more in love with MySQL, for its strengths and for the countless hours of work and the really monumental genius that it embodies, warts and all. It was quite a cognitive dissonance experience, to tell the truth! For those who have any inclination to reading it, I'd say: do it. It'll benefit you a lot more than you think. And if possible, do it with a copy of the MySQL source code available and actually take the time to look through it and explore the things Sasha suggests. I read this book on an airplane, far from a computer, and I need to read it again and look at source code as I do so. I am positive I'll get more than twice as much benefit from this second reading than I did from the first. I say that because I have a shin-deep exposure to the MySQL source code myself, so I knew just enough about it to recognize that I really would get a lot more from going and looking at the code Sasha cross-referenced. It was a bit like speaking Spanish without a dictionary, but having had a few weeks of intensive instruction ten years ago. I remembered some things well, other things just hazily. Overall, this book is easily a high 4 stars on a scale of 5, and again, anyone seriously using MySQL should have it.

VARG/RTC - Ratnagiri Airport Somewhere in India Ratnagiri Airport (IATA: RTC, ICAO: VARG) is a public airport located in Mirjole, Ratnagiri district, in the Konkan division of the state of Maharashtra, India. == History == The airport was built in 1973 by the Public Works Department, Government of India. Its Contract was awarded to and satisfactorily completed by M/s H. K. Chauhan one of the most reputed contractors from Ratnagiri It was transferred to the Maharashtra Industrial Development Corporation(MIDC) for upgradation, expansion and maintenance in 1997.

Home Tech Black Shark 4 may be more affordable than expected Black Shark 4 may be more affordable than expected Daniel Kucher Smart gaming phones are often sold at high prices. However, Black Shark 4, which is expected to be introduced soon, seems to be an exception in this regard. New information supports this expectation. The smart game phone recently appeared in the records of China's certification board TENAA. In addition to the technical features of the phone, the records in question also contain photographs. In old leaks related to Black Shark 4, the phone was seen with the model number KRS-A0. TENAA records contain the PRS-A0 model number. For this reason, the claim that the phone in the records may be another member of the series is also voiced. It is stated on the Playfuldroid site that this device may be the Pro version of the phone. However, looking at the technical features, it seems a bit more likely to be the standard or "Lite" version. It is important to note that Black Shark 4 is not yet official. This new rumor also marks a major change for the series. It is also said that the PRS-A0 may be a version to be sold only in China, and that it does not represent a finished product. Looking at the product photos of the PRS-A0 in the TENAA documents, it looks like a normal device. Although gaming phones usually attract attention with their assertive and LED light designs, this is not the case with the Black Shark 4. There are volume control keys on the left side of the phone. On the right side is the power button. On the right, two physical trigger keys and a fingerprint scanner placed on the edge are also among those seen. Black Shark 4 promotion is expected in March. It will not be a surprise that new details about the smart game phone will leak before the promotion. MSI Is Waiting Until Next Year to Announce Its 7900 XTX and 7900 XT GPUs.

Q: How can I set the nav to be non-transparent I am new with CSS and Bootstrap. I try to create nav fixed-top with bootstrap but somehow it's transparent. I tried to add to CSS !important but it didnt help. How can I set the nav to be non-transparent? Here my CSS & HTML code: .myNavbar{ margin-top: 0em; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0em; margin-right: 0em; background: rgba(255, 166, 0, 0.623) !important; padding-right: 0em; text-align: center; width: 100%; } <nav class="row myNavbar fixed-top "> <a class="nav-link" routerLink="/main">home </a> <a class="nav-link col" routerLink="/salads">salads</a> <a class="nav-link col" routerLink="/galery">galery</a> <a class="nav-link col span2" routerLink="/CuntactUs">contact</a> <a class="nav-link col" routerLink="/AboutUs">about</a> </nav> Is there anyone who can help me please... Thanks! A: Change this background: rgba(255, 166, 0, 0.623) !important; to this background: rgb(255, 166, 0); or background: rgba(255, 166, 0, 1); to remove the alpha/opacity section of the background-color or set the alpha value to be fully opaque. A: background: rgba(255, 166, 0, 0.623) !important; Remove 0.632 from the rgb color and you're done!

#ifndef __StaticGeometry_H__ #define __StaticGeometry_H__ #include "OgrePrerequisites.h" #include "OgreMovableObject.h" #include "OgreRenderable.h" #include "OgreMesh.h" #include "OgreLodStrategy.h" namespace Ogre { /** \addtogroup Core * @{ */ /** \addtogroup Scene * @{ */ /** Pre-transforms and batches up meshes for efficient use as static geometry in a scene. @remarks Modern graphics cards (GPUs) prefer to receive geometry in large batches. It is orders of magnitude faster to render 10 batches of 10,000 triangles than it is to render 10,000 batches of 10 triangles, even though both result in the same number of on-screen triangles. @par Therefore it is important when you are rendering a lot of geometry to batch things up into as few rendering calls as possible. This class allows you to build a batched object from a series of entities in order to benefit from this behaviour. Batching has implications of it's own though: @li Batched geometry cannot be subdivided; that means that the whole group will be displayed, or none of it will. This obivously has culling issues. @li A single world transform must apply to the entire batch. Therefore once you have batched things, you can't move them around relative to each other. That's why this class is most useful when dealing with static geometry (hence the name). In addition, geometry is effectively duplicated, so if you add 3 entities based on the same mesh in different positions, they will use 3 times the geometry space than the movable version (which re-uses the same geometry). So you trade memory and flexibility of movement for pure speed when using this class. @li A single material must apply for each batch. In fact this class allows you to use multiple materials, but you should be aware that internally this means that there is one batch per material. Therefore you won't gain as much benefit from the batching if you use many different materials; try to keep the number down. @par In order to retain some sort of culling, this class will batch up meshes in localised regions. The size and shape of these blocks is controlled by the SceneManager which constructs this object, since it makes sense to batch things up in the most appropriate way given the existing partitioning of the scene. @par The LOD settings of both the Mesh and the Materials used in constructing this static geometry will be respected. This means that if you use meshes/materials which have LOD, batches in the distance will have a lower polygon count or material detail to those in the foreground. Since each mesh might have different LOD distances, during build the furthest distance at each LOD level from all meshes in that region is used. This means all the LOD levels change at the same time, but at the furthest distance of any of them (so quality is not degraded). Be aware that using Mesh LOD in this class will further increase the memory required. Only generated LOD is supported for meshes. @par There are 2 ways you can add geometry to this class; you can add Entity objects directly with predetermined positions, scales and orientations, or you can add an entire SceneNode and it's subtree, including all the objects attached to it. Once you've added everthing you need to, you have to call build() the fix the geometry in place. @note This class is not a replacement for world geometry (@see SceneManager::setWorldGeometry). The single most efficient way to render large amounts of static geometry is to use a SceneManager which is specialised for dealing with that particular world structure. However, this class does provide you with a good 'halfway house' between generalised movable geometry (Entity) which works with all SceneManagers but isn't efficient when using very large numbers, and highly specialised world geometry which is extremely fast but not generic and typically requires custom world editors. @par You should not construct instances of this class directly; instead, cal SceneManager::createStaticGeometry, which gives the SceneManager the option of providing you with a specialised version of this class if it wishes, and also handles the memory management for you like other classes. @note Warning: this class only works with indexed triangle lists at the moment, do not pass it triangle strips, fans or lines / points, or unindexed geometry. */ class _OgreExport StaticGeometry : public BatchedGeometryAlloc { public: /** Struct holding geometry optimised per SubMesh / lod level, ready for copying to instances. @remarks Since we're going to be duplicating geometry lots of times, it's far more important that we don't have redundant vertex data. If a SubMesh uses shared geometry, or we're looking at a lower LOD, not all the vertices are being referenced by faces on that submesh.

The Complete Advanced Pilot A Combined Commercial and Instrument Course eBook : $44.95 Paperback / softback $49.95 Comprehensive textbook for airplane pilots who are preparing to take the FAA exams for obtaining the Instrument Rating and Commercial FAA certificates. "If the Airline Transport Pilot certificate is the Ph.D. of aviation, the Commercial and Instrument tickets represent the Bachelor's and Master's degrees" says author Bob Gardner, describing the advanced pilot curriculum. This is his textbook written for the many pilots who streamline their efforts by preparing for the instrument and the commercial certificates simultaneously. Using the required FAA Knowledge Exams as the premise for learning, Gardner applies practical information so readers are not only prepared for the exams, but also for the cockpit. He augments the required aeronautical knowledge by giving specific tips and techniques, checklists and mnemonic devices, and sound advice from personal experience. Each chapter concludes with sample FAA test questions, and a comprehensive glossary and index are included as well as useful aviation website links. With the author's conversational yet concise writing style, readers will quickly grasp the subjects, pass the required tests and checkrides, and have an operational understanding of flight they can take to the cockpit as newly-minted commercial pilots operating under instrument flight rules (IFR). Includes helpful internet resources for weather charts, full color examples of those weather charts, updated review questions, and more. Bob Gardner is a long-admired member of the aviation community. He began his flying career as a hobby in Alaska in 1960 while in the U.S. Coast Guard. By 1966, Bob earned his Private land and sea, Commercial, Instrument, Instructor, CFII, and MEL. Over the next 16 years he was an instructor, charter pilot, corporate and freight Captain, and Director of ASA Ground Schools. Currently, Bob holds an Airline Transport Pilot Certificate with single and multi-engine land ratings; a CFI certificate with instrument and multi-engine land ratings; and a Ground Instructor's Certificate with advanced and instrument ratings. In addition, Bob is a Gold Seal Instructor and has been instructing since 1968. To top off this impressive list of accomplishments, Bob is also a well-known author, journalist, and airshow lecturer.

Gez Medinger and Robin Schmidt"s AfterDeath (2015) is releasing in the UK on November 11, 2015. This film looks interesting and with five strangers waking up in what seems like Purgatory. They are not alone because some shadow creature is taking them out one by one. I watched the AfterDeath trailer and at at first the film seemed boring but about midway into the trailer, the horror and thriller aspect kicked in. I will be watching this film whenever it hits the US but without a US release date, not sure when that may happen but I will keep my eye on any future updates. Cast in AfterDeath are Miranda Raison (The Secret World, Sinbad, Merlin, Dragon Age II), Sam Keeley (Monsters: Dark Continent (2014), Misfits), Daniella Kertesz (World War Z (2013)).

Hoverbike handling is almost perfect and it looks great. It just misses some real heavy scifi hitech sounds. I mean that motorcycle sound breaks the immersion of flying a hoverbike totally. Maybe some talented modder could give a helping hand here? I have a bug where if i crash the bike a few times it starts making a weird loud noise like some parts are repeatedly crashing with something, the noise goes away when i get on it and engine starts, but gets back when i get off the bike. fixing it through menu removes the noise. oh no! infinite boost no longer works with this! I fall like a stone everytime! What is with these authors all adding optional files without a decent explanation for what they do? i cannt use weapon , i missed something ? Very cool. I'm using just the model as a replacement for the Oppressor Mark 2, and it looks great. Is it an original design, or is it from another game or movie or something? @dsawdsaw awesome!!! but afterburner dont work for me (used model as replace for oppressor2), even try use Imnotmental afterburner and dont work too, any ideas? Been looking for this, I'll give you credit for the dictures. А звук двигателя есть возможность поменять? А то мотоциклетный сюда как то не подходит.

Q: Create a daily local notification that will start tomorrow I have an app that reminds user about a todo item every day but I do not not need to remind them if they already did it. My approach to solve the problem is by creating a local notification that is fired up in a daily basis at a random time. When a todo item is already done for the day, I re-scheduled the local notification day to tomorrow by cancelling it and creating a new one dated for tomorrow. But this solution doesn't work. It seems like when you specify that a local notification is fired daily (repearInterval=NSDayCalendarUnit), it doesn't honour the fireDate day property. Here is my code: /*** notification is created like this ***/ UILocalNotification *localNotif = [[UILocalNotification alloc] init]; localNotif.fireDate = [self randomHourMinFromDate:[NSDate date]]; localNotif.timeZone = [NSTimeZone defaultTimeZone]; localNotif.alertBody = @"A todo item is due!"; localNotif.alertAction = @"View Item"; localNotif.soundName = UILocalNotificationDefaultSoundName; localNotif.repeatInterval = NSDayCalendarUnit; /*** some other part of the code ***/ NSArray *scheduledNotifications = [[UIApplication sharedApplication] scheduledLocalNotifications]; UILocalNotification *notification = [scheduledNotifications firstObject]; // adds 1 day to notification fireDate NSDate *newFireDate = [notification.fireData dateByAddingTimeInterval:60*60*24*1]; [[UIApplication sharedApplication] cancelLocalNotification:notification]; notification.fireDate = newFireDate; [[UIApplication sharedApplication] scheduleLocalNotification:notification]; Can you please tell me what I'm doing wrong? Or perhaps recommend a better solution? TIA! A: I have a idea. When a todo item is already done for the day, cancel the notification and create a new one. Set firedate to the current date with same time, and set dateByAddingTimeInterval: 60*60*24. localNotification.fireDate = [CurrentDate dateByAddingTimeInterval:60*60*24]; May this could work.

787.The Criminal Justice (Terrorism and Conspiracy) Act 1998 ("the 1998 Act") was passed following emergency parliamentary procedure in the wake of the Omagh bombing in August 1998. 788.There were 2 main parts in the 1998 Act. Sections 1 to 4 made provision about procedure and forfeiture in relation to offences concerning proscribed organisations. Sections 5 to 7 concern conspiracy to commit offences outside the United Kingdom. 789.Section 8 requires that a statutory report on the working of the Act be laid before both Houses of Parliament on an annual basis. Although the section is drafted in such a way so as it applies generally to the working of the Act as a whole, it is understood that the requirement was directed principally at the terrorism provisions in sections 1 to 4, which have now been repealed. 790.Section 8 is now considered redundant. It has been repealed for England, Wales and Northern Ireland by the Criminal Justice and Immigration Act 2008. This section repeals section 8 of the 1998 Act as it applies to Scotland. The effect is that the section will be repealed UK wide. 791.The Interpretation Act 1978 defines a number of commonly-used terms so that separate definitions do not have to be provided in each piece of legislation by the UK Parliament. As amended by the Scotland Act 1998, it provides definitions of "Act" and "enactment" which exclude Acts of the Scottish Parliament and instruments made under such Acts. 792.There are a large number of references to "Act" and "enactment" in pre-devolution criminal law and procedure statutes. For example section 307 of the Criminal Procedure (Scotland) Act 1995 defines "crime" as "any crime or offence at common law or under any Act of Parliament whenever passed". At the time the Criminal Procedure (Scotland) Act 1995 was passed, the reference would have included all primary legislation, but now it only includes Westminster Acts and not Acts of the Scottish Parliament. 793.Section 200 of this Act provides a solution specifically for the Criminal Procedure (Scotland) Act 1995, the Criminal Law (Consolidation) (Scotland) Act 1995 and the licensing provisions of the Civic Government (Scotland) Act 1982, the main pre-devolution statutes that are dealt with in this Act. Each reference to "Act" or "enactment" has been extended to apply to Scottish legislation and checked to ensure that that extension is appropriate. 794.Subsection (1) modifies the definition of "enactment" to include Acts of the Scottish Parliament and Scottish statutory instruments within the licensing provisions contained in the Civic Government (Scotland) Act 1982. Subsection (2) modifies the definition of "enactment" to include Acts of the Scottish Parliament and Scottish statutory instruments in the Criminal Law (Consolidation) (Scotland) Act 1995. Subsection (3) similarly modifies the definition of "crime", "enactment" and "statute" within section 307(1) of the Criminal Procedure (Scotland) Act 1995 so that references to Acts of the Scottish Parliament are included within these definitions.

The interest in Santa's pants ( stop it!) got me thinking about the rest of the Christmas table so here are a few ideas - not to be taken too seriously I think. A kind friend who knows that I like to recycle and re-purpose things had given me a set of curtain rings. I was thinking of covering them to make into tree decorations but then I thought of napkin rings ( as you do ). Take off the hook - in some it just pulls off in others you will need a pair of pliers to unscrew an eyelet. I used a scrap of white sparkly acryllic double knitting to cover the ring by doing double crochet through the ring. Always push the stitches up so that you really fill the space or you will get gaps when you do the next bit.The green bit is a tiny bit of tinsel yarn - all I did was a dc. in every oyher stitch. I am going to play with this idea maybe using buttons or beads or tiny holly leaves. I am pleased with the result but as you will see we are not a napkin sort of family (more a sort of pass the kitchen roll please family) so I have struggled to find a napkin to show the ring working. I then remembered Vicky's bottle cover - it is actually for wrapping your bottle present but I thought it looked nice here and wine is a very important part of our Christmas meal. I find it very strange that the person who made the bottle cosy is the only non-drinker in the family, that is apart from those who are underage but even they would like to try it! PS. I forgot this - my granny would be proud of me making a traditional doily but in the shape of a star for Christmas. These cutlery holders are on sale at the moment and several people have expressed interest in a crochet version. So we have made a pattern for the bottom half of Santa and we will work on making a pattern for the top half as soon as we can. a little gold thread for a buckle. rows 4. to 10 repeat row three. Make another leg in exactly the same way but do not break yarn at the end of row 13. The next two rows will make holes for the tie. next row: 1ch, 1dc, (2dc in 2chain space 1dc in next 2 stitches) repeat 5 times more 2dc in last 2ch space 1dc in last stitch. Fasten off leaving a long end for sewing up. leaving a long end ch 50 and fasten off leaving another long end to make the tassels. use the long end of red yarn to stitch the two sides together to the point shown by the pin which is 4 rows below the black belt. Then sew down each leg to the point where the white starts fasten off the red . Sew up the ends of the legs using white. Turn the pants right side out. To make the tassels: thread one of the long white ends into a blunt needle. Then wind the yarn around your finger like this. Cut through the loops and and tidy the tassel. Repeat for the other end of the chain. Embroider a buckle onto the front and your silver holder is complete. Now you can make one for each peson who is coming to Christmas dinner. If your Christmas dinner is anything like ours this could take you until roughly August next year. As usual let us know if there are errors and share anything you make using the pattern.
