I hope you had a great vacation! Where'd you go?
These were great! I'm a little sad that I only had 14 (yeah, fourteen!) beans to roast, but I loved them. Why have I never thought to cook them this way?!? One kid liked them, one did not, but in this family that's pretty good for a veggie!
Made these tonight for dinner, they were amazing! Even my picky 4 yr old loved them!
I am so glad you and your children liked them, Terri!
Ok this looks simple enough I think I can do it! Going to pin this to Pinterest to make soon! Glad to find this post at 2 cup tuesday! YAY!
These look so yummy. I can't wait to try to make some of these yummy green beans for my family. Thank you for linking up at HomeMattersParty hope you will come back and link up again next week.
Why isn't there a printable version available?
I need to add these to my meal plan–ASAP!
Saw your recipe just in time to make them for dinner tonight! Thanks!!

Third year are starting to rehearse scenes from "The Tempest", from "Henry IV Part1" and from "Midsummer Night's Dream"; First years are starting to rehearse scenes from around 8 short contemporary plays; Second years are deep into Chekhov's "Three Sisters" and shortly Oscar Wilde's "The Importance of Being Earnest". What a feast of drama happening around us on Campus. If you see groups of students gathering in corners practicing speeches you will now know what is going on around the place. Drama is one of the greatest forms of artistic expression, because it takes the words off the page and embodies them in living, breathing human beans.... and surrounds them with the textures of all the arts: music, dance, gesture, and visual backdrops. For the greatest master of drama the world has ever known, William Shakespeare, the theatre stage, the theatre itself was a metaphor for life, for the way we humans strut our way around the planet.
"ALL THE WORLD'S A STAGE AND WE ARE MERELY PLAYERS"
We all have our many versions of who I am. That is the nature as and texture of our existence. Shakespeare summarized this powerfully in his speech on the seven ages of man in his play "As You Like it"
The key question that Shakespeare asks throughout his plays though -and especially in his last play "The Tempest"- is "do we have to be on the stage all the time?" Is there a time in life when we can -if only temporarily- get off the stage, and simply be ourselves? Which self? That is an important question for any and everyone.... These are profound questions.

PRESIDENT BUHARI SACKING THE BOARD OF NIGER DELTA DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION (NDDC) IS A WELCOME NEWS.
The board of Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) has outstayed its usefulness and should be dissolved. Corruption has eaten so deep into the agency but now that president Buhari has sacked the board and a new one appointed, we (Viewers Corner News) are hoping that an effective system would be in place to handle matters in a more honest way.
We (Viewers Corner News) will also use this opportunity to plead with the new board (NDDC) to look into the files of those contractors which the sacked board ignored because of corruption that has eaten so deep in the agency.


Meet WPMC Mycologist Garrett Taylor and Dale Luthringer, Environmental Education Specialist with the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources, at Shelter #1 for a pre-Foray mushroom walk. Bring a lunch. Garrett will be available for further exploration in the afternoon.

Pretty! If the ring mark doesn't disappear with ironing you can always wet-stretch it on a piece of board. Bit scary to get a finished piece of embroidery wet but this technique has saved me many a time!
I was going to suggest wet-stretching as well. I'm pretty sure that should work!
I really love this modern look!.
Wonderful to finish a project started by your mother.
Lovely design and the slightly unexpected colours work really well!
How lovely to have this finished. What special memories to have also. looks great!
This piece has turned out very pretty and will look great displayed somewhere where your mum would have liked it to be.

Today nearly everyone is familiar with holograms, three-dimensional images projected into space with the aid of a laser. Now, two of the world's most eminent thinkers -- University of London physicists David Bohm, a former protege of Einstein's and one of the world's most respected quantum physicists, and Stanford neurophysiologist Karl Pribram, one of the architects of our modern understanding of the brain -- believe that the universe itself may be a giant hologram, quite literally a kind of image or construct created, at least in part, by the human mind. This remarkable new way of looking at the universe explains now only many of the unsolved puzzles of physics, but also such mysterious occurrences as telepathy, out-of-body and near death experiences, "lucid" dreams, and even religious and mystical experiences such as feelings of cosmic unity and miraculous healings.

Q: req.body is undefined in a post request I'm trying to print to the console the content of the request's body inside a post function as follows:
export const createOffering = async (req, res) => {
const offering = req.body;
const newOffering = new Offering(offering);
console.log(req.body);
try{
    //await offering.save();
    res.status(201).json(newOffering);

}
catch(error){
    res.status(409).json({message: error.message})
}

}
However, the console prints "undefined"
Here is the code for my index.js
import express from "express";
import mongoose from "mongoose";
import cors from "cors";
import bodyParser from "body-parser";
import offeringsRoutes from './routes/offerings.js'

const app = express();

app.use('/offerings', offeringsRoutes);

app.use(cors());
app.use(express.urlencoded({ limit: '25mb', extended: true }));
app.use(express.json({ limit: '25mb' }));

A: app.use is generally for middleware which you want to run before your routes. I also see that you import bodyParser but don't use it, and while that's not a requirement, here's how you may want to refactor:
import express from "express";
import mongoose from "mongoose";
import cors from "cors";
import bodyParser from "body-parser";
import offeringsRoutes from './routes/offerings.js'

const app = express();

// You generally want this middleware above your routes if you want
// them to apply to all routes that come after these.
app.use(cors());
app.use(express.urlencoded({ limit: '25mb', extended: true }));
app.use(express.json({ limit: '25mb' }));
app.use(bodyParser.json());

// If you only want to accept `POST` requests
app.post('/offerings', offeringsRoutes);
// or you can use this if you want this function to handle all requests to this route
// app.all('/offerings', offeringsRoutes);

Time for a new project for my Raspberry Pi 3B, this one has the current aim of regularly taking a rooms temperature and recording the results. However, for this project I will also be looking at the possibility of later expanding it so I am going to look at multiple options.
I currently own a Pi2, Pi3B and a Pi ZeroW, but what if I was starting from scratch? I'm going throw in the requirement that whichever Pi I use it needs to be able to be wi-fi compatible. This rules out the Pi, Pi 2 and Pi Zero unless a wi-fi dongle is used.
For costings I am going to use my favourite supplier of Raspberry Pi equipment, Pimoroni. At this stage I am not including a case and I'm making the assumption that a power supply, keyboard/mouse, HDMI cable, etc… are already available but will factor them in later on.
If I had the money I would purchase the Pi 3A+, although it has half the RAM of the Pi 3B that I currently have it has better power consumption, a better processor and supports both 2GHz and 5GHz wi-fi compared to the 3B only supporting 2GHz wi-fi. However, I am currently on a budget so will be reusing my trusty Pi 3B.
Depending on which Pi model is being used can also open up the opportunities of operating systems available for my project.
I've selected a Pi model and an OS, but without a sensor I will not be getting any sensory data, and that is what this project is all about. So it's time to look at sensors, of which there are many for the Pi.
Made for the AstroPi missions, the official sense hat can read temperatures, output to an LED display and has an accelerometer. However, it has the draw back of being above £30 in cost and reports that its temp readings can be thrown off due to interference from the Pi CPU.
Coming in at just under £8, the BMP280 breakout has all sensors I need for my current project idea including the relevant Python libraries. The board contains the pins for soldering but I would probably just buy the Breakout Garden for an additional £12.50 incase of the need for future expansion (hint, this project may get bigger…).
Starting out at under 20p and with full guides available (see PiHut: https://thepihut.com/blogs/raspberry-pi-tutorials/18095732-sensors-temperature-with-the-1-wire-interface-and-the-ds18b20) there is the option of building a circuit with the relevant sensors in. This is great option for those that like hands on electronics.
I'm going to go with the BMP280 breakout, as I am also future planning for use with other sensors.
A USB power supply – to power the Raspberry Pi.
A microSD card – for installing the OS. A higher class is better. 8GB or more.
A case – to project the Raspberry Pi.

English Figurative painting and
English Landscape painting
Ranked among the best English painters of the 18th century, Joseph Wright was the first major artist in England to base his career outside London. During the 1760s he started painting candlelit scenes rich in contrast between bright light and dark shadows, becoming best known for his paintings depicting scientific experiments attended by awe-struck observers. In his skilful use of chiaroscuro and dramatic tenebrism, he was greatly influenced by the works of Caravaggio and the style of Caravaggism which he introduced. Other notable influences included Dutch painting of the 17th century, especially the Dutch Realism of Rembrandt and others.
Analysis of An Experiment on a Bird in the Air Pump
With this painting, Joseph Wright of Derby created a new invention - part genre, part portrait, part history painting. It remains unique and has no real imitators, yet it bears the stamp of genius. On a moonlit night in a darkened room, a company of amateurs and friends gather to witness a demonstration of a new device, an air pump, whose functionality can be demonstrated through its effects on a bird. Mingling direct reportage with high drama, Wright of Derby spins a timeless tale out of the prosaic reality of life around him. Derby was an important manufacturing centre that was actively engaged in current intellectual and scientific pursuits. Wright played his part in both spheres. In the mid-1760s he joined a group that came to be known as the Lunar Society. At monthly meetings on the Monday nearest to the full moon, members witnessed and discussed scientific experiments involving astronomy, chemistry, electricity, and medicine. The group included Josiah Wedgwood, the pottery manufacturer; James Watt, the engineer who made fundamental improvements to the steam engine; Dr. Erasmus Darwin, physician, poet, and Charles Darwin's grandfather; and Joseph Priestly, famous chemist, clergyman, and political theorist.
These gifted men were fascinated by the general availability of scientific instruments, including telescopes, orreries (clockwork models of the solar system), and air pumps, which they added to their collections. They dabbled in geology, botany, medicine, archeology, and astronomy. Participants in the Enlightenment, when reason was emphasized and existing ideas and institutions were reappraised, the Lunar Society and others like it reshaped man's view of the world and his sense of his place within it. The same curiosity that inspired Wright of Derby to join the Lunar Society probably assured his attendance at the scientific lectures given by the Scottish astronomer James Ferguson (1710-76), who visited Derby in 1762 and demonstrated an air pump. What Wright created out of this experience makes the viewer feel like a witness to this experiment, but this drama is the product of great artistic license coupled with careful observation of nature and a great respect for art history.
From Caravaggio and his many followers Wright made this a candle and moonlit scene, setting the whole event in dramatic chiaroscuro. From Rembrandt's Leiden followers - the so-called fijnschilders ("fine small-scale painters") of whom Gerrit Dou (1613-75) was the most famous - Wright developed his smoothly rendered, meticulous realism. Using his friends and neighbours as models, the artist supplied a believable slice of life while creating archetypes of age, understanding, and gender.
NOTE: In the painting, a travelling scientist is shown conducting an experiment during which a vacuum is created by the air pump, which for a moment robs the bird of the air it needs in order to breathe. In this moment, the scientist must decide between life and death, a decision which classically belongs to God alone. The picture is therefore - at heart - a human drama.
A young couple to the left are too involved in courtship to care much about the experiment, while the young girls on the right weep over the fate of their pet cockatoo (which is based on a bird Wright knew from a portrait commission). As their father tries to teach them about the harder realities of life, or comfort them with the news that not all the air will be removed - the picture is the ultimate cliff-hanger - only the bewigged amateur and the young man beside him are completely absorbed in the experiment, and listen as the wild-haired old man expounds on his thesis as the experiment progresses. To the right, another gentleman is lost in thought, perhaps contemplating the larger meaning of this demonstration with respect to life, death, and mankind's place in the scheme of things.
Also worth noting are the various items of scientific equipment depicted. The air pump itself is painted in highly realistic detail, a faithful rendering of a design in use at the time. There is also a thermometer, candle snuffer and cork, along with a pair of Magdeburg hemispheres, which in combination with the air pump might have been used to demonstrate the pressure exerted by a vacuum. (When the air is pumped out from between the two hemispheres it becomes impossible to pull them apart.) Two other items - the human skull in the large glass bowl and the candle - are believed to constitute a memento mori (a reminder of death), a motif commonly used in Vanitas painting to highlight the transient nature of earthly concerns, compared to the eternal nature of Christian values.
Despite its enlightened approach to science, this picture's social attitudes are, to modern eyes, reactionary. Wright of Derby was one of the earliest artists to restore men and women (pictorially at least) to what society then believed was their proper spheres. Men think and reason, women feel. What a far cry from Watteau's androgynous couples rendered equal by mutual civility, or Tiepolo and Boucher's triumphant females! Here, women are marginalized and placed, so to speak, at the sidelines of human affairs. By expressing this shift in attitude, Wright anticipated by nearly twenty years the divided genders of David's Oath if the Horatii (1785, Louvre, Paris). However, in this work he accomplished far more than that. Wright's picture, so unique to his place and time, is an indelible and iconic snapshot of an era and one of the most memorable images ever painted.
The painting was first exhibited to the public at the Society of Artists exhibition in 1768, and was eventually purchased by a Dr Benjamin Bates, for a sum believed to be between £130 and £200. Subsequent sales led eventually to its acquisition by the Tate Gallery in 1929, from whom it was transferred to the National Gallery in 1986.

A Commencement Address for the Most Indebted Class Ever
Written by	Chuck Collins | Common Dreams
As Bernie Sanders has suggested, if millions of young people stood up and said they're "sick and tired of leaving college $30,000, $50,000, $70,000 in debt, that they want public colleges and universities tuition-free... that is exactly what would happen." (Photo: Chicago Jobs With Justice)
The system is trying to squeeze you harder than any generation before you.
Congratulations, college graduates! As you enter the next phase of life, you and your parents should be proud of your achievements.
But, I'm sorry to say, they've come at a price: The system is trying to squeeze you harder than any previous generation.
Many baby boomers, perhaps including your parents, benefited from a time when higher education was seen as a shared social responsibility. Between 1945 and 1975, tens of millions of them graduated from college with little or no debt.
But now, tens of millions of you are graduating with astounding levels of debt.
This year, seven in 10 graduating seniors borrowed for their educations. Their average debt is now over $37,000 — the highest figure for any class ever.
Already, some 43 percent of borrowers — together owing $200 billion — have either stopped making payments or are behind on their student loans. Millions are in default.
This debt casts a long shadow on the finances of graduates. During the last quarter of 2015 alone, the Education Department moved to garnish $176 million in wages.
There's no economic benefit to this system whatsoever. Indebted students delay starting families and buying houses, experience compounding economic distress, and are less inclined to take entrepreneurial risks.
One driver of the change from your parents' generation has been tax cuts for the wealthy, which have led to cuts in higher education budgets. Forty-seven states now spend less per student on higher education than they did before the 2008 economic recession.
In effect, we're shifting tax obligations away from multi-millionaires and onto states and middle-income taxpayers. And that's led colleges to rely on higher tuition costs and fees.
In 2005, for instance, Congress stopped sharing revenue from the estate tax — a levy on inherited wealth exclusively paid by multi-million dollar estates — with the states. Most state legislatures failed to replace it at the state level, costing them billions in revenue over the last decade.
In fact, the 32 states that let their estate taxes expire are foregoing between $3 to $6 billion a year, the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities estimates. The resulting tax benefits have gone entirely to multi-millionaires and billionaires — and contributed to tuition increases.
For example, California used to raise almost $1 billion a year in revenue from its state-level estate tax. Now that figure is down to zero. And since 2008, average tuition has increased over $3,500 at four-year public colleges and universities in the state.
Florida, meanwhile, lost $700 million a year — and raised tuition nearly $2,500. Michigan lost $155 million a year and hiked average tuition $2,200.
But it doesn't have to be this way. Washington State went the opposite route.
Washington taxes wealthy estates and dedicates the $150 million it raises each year to an education legacy trust account, which supports K-12 education and the state's community college system. Other states should follow this model, and students and parents should take the lead in demanding it.
Presidential candidate Bernie Sanders said at a Philadelphia town hall that there's one thing he's 100 percent certain about.
If millions of young people stood up and said they're "sick and tired of leaving college $30,000, $50,000, $70,000 in debt, that they want public colleges and universities tuition-free," he predicted, "that is exactly what would happen."
Sanders is right: Imagine a political movement made up of the 40 million households that currently hold $1.2 trillion in debt.
If we stood up and pressed for policies to eliminate millionaire tax breaks and dedicate the revenue to debt-free education, it would change the face of America.
Graduates, let's get to work.

DJ Mag Staff
Fauzia Habib is one of the many talents unearthed by NTS who is now going on to make a mark on her own terms. The Londoner's music draws on US juke and footwork as well as her hometown's jungle, bass and broken beats. It's a high-octane, high-impact fare that hovers around the 160bpm mark, and in conjunction with her own party, SHOOK, is helping to revitalise the cross-genre club scene through those faster tempos.
Fauzia has also recently linked with Sherelle, L U C Y, Jossy Mitsu, Yazzus and Dobby to form a supergroup called 6 Figures Gang. The focus is on all forms of bass, grime, gqom, 160 beats and whatever else rattles ribs and makes you want to move. They have already guested on Rinse FM and will make their live debut at SHOOK. Exciting, energetic and infectious, Fauzia is quickly become a real authority on all things fast and furious, and for good reason.
Sicknote
Sicknote is the solo DJ project of Lewis Joyce, who has stepped out of the shadows of the G.H.O.S.T collective and really made his mark. A meticulous drum & bass craftsmen, he has on going collabs with Dissect, Justice, Escher and Sweetpea and explores the tougher and more direct end of the jungle spectrum. His razor-sharp synths light up his rugged drum programming and 2019 brings with it plenty more of the same on Detrimental Audio and his own co-run Paws Recordings.
Teenage years saw Joyce move from Essex to Bournemouth and his music bares out that mix of influences: there are the brash hardcore and rave sounds of bands like The Prodigy mixed in with the silkier future rhythms of Fabio & Grooverider. These days, his taste is not limited to drum & bass as he has also amassed a fine techno collection and continues to be a soul lover, all of which informs his well crafted DJ sets.
Chekov
Leeds has long been known as party city, but often lags behind the pack when it comes to turning out proven producers — Midland and Paul Woolford aside. 2019 has put a new name on the horizon, though, in the form of Chekov. Real name Laurence Huntington, this youngster has made a number of noteworthy appearances on labels like Shanti Celeste's Peach Discs and the emerging Cong Burn.
His slow, sludgy, trippy electronics don't easily fit in any box, and conjure up weird feelings not normally associated with the dancefloor. Cult German DJ Lena Willikens gave him a deserved step up by including one of his tracks on her Dekmantel compilation early last year, and he followed it up with low-key groovers like 'Spring' and the 110bpm banger that was 'Bierce.' Expect more big things as the year progresses.
Cassie Kinoshi
Jazz is well and truly back in vogue, and Cassie Kinoshi has long been helping make that so. She has worked with various outfits in the past, but since 2016 the Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music & Dance graduate has led her own all-London SEED collective. Anchored around her own composition, arranging and alto sax, the group released their debut album in February and it was a fusion of the highest order.
Inner-city lyrical realness, African and Caribbean rhythms, soaring freeform instrumentals and more tender, soul-licked pieces of introspection make it a complete and comprehensive listen that lays out Kinoshi's skills for all to hear. This former BBC Young Composer of the Year nominee says SEED is "my way of celebrating the vibrant and distinctive diversity that has significantly influenced what British culture has become over the centuries", and we couldn't be bigger fans.
Magda El Bayoumi
Something is happening in the depths of Tresor, Berlin. Nestled in the metallic cage which encases the DJ booth in the long-standing institution, Tresor resident Magda El Bayoumi is leaving her own stamp on the German club, bouncing between hard-as-nails techno and scuzzy electro 'til the early hours. Magda is of Polish and Egyptian descent and has a well-tuned ear thanks to her history playing piano, which later evolved into a fascination with mixing vinyl. Taking the plunge with a move from Chicago to Berlin to pursue her true passion, Magda believes in one thing only: quality. Reflecting this approach in each of her sets, it's clear why Magda has earned a residency in such an iconic venue. Having played multiple warm-up and closing slots, swiftly adapting to any given situation, rest assured that the sound of Tresor remains in very capable hands.
Bulgarian-born Katerina is far from a newcomer. In her hometown of Helsinki, she's long been praised as an intrinsic part of the electronic music scene that's developed there. Through over a decade in promotion, she's helped raise local clubs like Kaiku and the now globally renowned Flow Festival into what they are today. These days, it's her wide-ranging DJ sets that have gained her rightful recognition, while her productions have found a befitting home on the renowned Cómeme label. She's just launched her own label, Émotsiya! — which shares a name with her longstanding Cómeme Radio show — the first release being a six-track compilation of emerging artists and close friends. Her own productions resonate a deep and knowledgeable understanding of electronic music, and her next project will be an EP on Joakim's Tigersushi, followed by an eagerly awaited album at the end of the year.
Shyboi
Shyboi's arbitrary and perplexing DJ sets are not for the faint-hearted. Whether she's racing through dancehall or unleashing electro alongside DJ Stingray, you can expect to be kept raving all night to her thunderous club workouts. The Jamaican-born multidisciplinary DJ and producer is a central member of Brooklyn's ambitious Discwoman collective of selectors. Previously, she lit up the New York club scene as a former member of confrontational, queer DJ collective KUNQ, where she developed an eclectic, irreverent music policy. Her open- mindedness and extensive stylistic range has resulted in an ability to cause sonic disruption on any dancefloor.
Beat Kitty
Beat Kitty was dropping booty bouncing trap and bass music when she rst piqued our interest during the wee hours of the morning at Mysteryland 2015. Since then, she's begun producing her own tracks, including her debut on NYC Bass Collective, 'That Beat', and her latest release, 'Mangala', on The Gradient Perspective. Her productions and mixes showcase an upbeat yet dirty style, infused with tribal elements and heavy basslines. An advocate for helping more women get started in dance music, she hosts BASSics DJ 101 lessons for "all femme and female-identifying beings." With an EP in the works and line-up appearances from Brooklyn to Bamboo Bass Festival in Costa Rica, Beat Kitty is one to keep on the radar.
Taraval
Taraval is the alias of Caribou guitarist and synth player, Ryan Smith, whose talent as a musician spills over into his obvious abilities as both a DJ and producer. Since his debut release, 'Streetways', on Four Tet's Text Records, he has released two more EPs on the iconic label, and another on Hypercolour, combining dissonant house grooves, and sample- heavy techno cuts with acid licks. In between, he collaborated with Greenspan to showcase another experimental side to his sound, through raw synthesizer music. As a DJ, he developed his craft of shocking audiences with unpredictable sets across dancefloors in San Francisco and was quickly invited to grace the decks at clubs across the world, such as London's Printworks.
Khiva
Ascending from the depths of the bass music scene, Khiva has taken a coveted seat at the Deep, Dark & Dangerous table alongside label heads Truth. And she's done it all in the blink of an eye. Just two years ago, she was an unknown, but after releasing an EP, 'In The Quiet' and two singles, 'Aphrodite' and 'Fresh Cut Love', she's now playing festivals around the world, such as Shambhala in Canada and Outlook in Croatia. Khiva attributes her passion for exploring new ideas — musically and spiritually — to her nomadic lifestyle. Her gritty, heavy, dreamstep sounds immerse her listeners in abstract, low-pitch soundscapes that stretch bass beats to new lengths.
Alinka
Born in Kiev, Ukraine, Alinka has music in her blood. Raised by a pianist mother before immigrating to the US as a refugee, she now resides in Berlin, but remains a stalwart supporter of the Chicago sound she grew up with. Stellar productions on her own Twirl! Recordings, as well as labels like Jackathon Jams, and Classic Music Company, have earned Alinka praise from DJs like Heidi, Maya Jane Coles, Ellen Allien and Maceo Plex, who's invited her to play his Ellum show in Barcelona this June.
Known as a DJ's DJ, her fiery house sets have also taken her to clubs like Panorama Bar in Berlin, London's Printworks, and the legendary Concrete in Paris. She's one of a kind, and just getting started.
Dance Spirit
Turning analog drum machines, synthesizers and live vocals into dreamy progressive soundscapes, Los Angeles-based Dance Spirit have been captivating audiences since 2011. After releasing on Audio y's Supernature in 2013, they went on to sign tracks with labels like Get Physical Music, Crosstown Rebels and Bedrock — John Digweed's imprint, which released 2017's 'Thoughts Like Stars' EP.
Their original live shows have taken them to clubs such as Fabric in London, Katerblau in Berlin and Miami's Do Not Sit On The Furniture, as well as festivals like Coachella, Lightning In A Bottle and Burning Man. This year they're launching their own Communion imprint, have dropped a remix on Akbal Music in April, and will feature on Art of Life's new compilation on Kindish.

Trent Reznor Files Restraining Order Against Neighbor
Chad Childers Published: January 17, 2018
Amanda Edwards, Getty Images
Add violence? He'd rather not. According to TMZ, Nine Inch Nails mastermind Trent Reznor has filed a restraining order against his neighbor, claiming that the man has become increasingly threatening toward his family in recent months.
In the report, it's stated that Reznor's neighbor Nader Afshar recently expressed his hatred of the musician to one of Reznor's friends as he was leaving the house and on Christmas Eve, he spotted the neighbor in an open shirt, shorts and a Santa hat walking up and down the sidewalk ranting, "Rich people can do anything they want, but the Lord will get them in the end." The incident occurred as Reznor was outside playing with his kids.
According to the paperwork, the irrational behavior and increasing contempt led the musician to ask for the restraining order. The judge granted Reznor's request, asking Afshar to stay at least 10 yards away from the singer, his family and any employees who may be working at his residence. A court hearing on the matter has been set for next month.
Reznor and his band have changed things up a bit over the past year, issuing the first two of what is expected to be a trilogy of EPs. Not the Actual Events was issued the final week of 2016, while Add Violence arrived last July. The third EP is reportedly in the works, but Reznor has also been busy on the side with musical score work and the occasional live shows.

I had a reasonably well understanding on how the layouting in 4.0 worked, and implemented a highly customized layout to automatically put desktop icons into rows, taking their heights and the maximum available height into account.
With 4.1, the layout broke, and I cannot figure out why. Is there a tutorial or at least some documentation on how exactly the layout system works in 4.1? What gets called when and especially why?
This would be hard to say without an example. Layouts were a bit broken in 4.0.x, so invalid configurations were allowed. This is no longer the case in 4.1.x. It is usually a simple case of maeking minor adjustments to make it work again.
Have you tried using our Sencha Architect to design your form and then review the code to see what changes need to be made?
Please make sure we can run the examples and not just snippets.
So, to achieve the same effect in 4.1, I spent the last few hours disecting table layout and figuring out a way to extend it to allow for vertically stacking my icons.
Assuming that my icons always have the same size (which they should) i could discard the feature my 4.0 layout provided that supports dynamic heights.
Since the table layout will step through my items and add a new column for each item, or rather stick each item in a new colum, the first thing i need to to on a resize, is recalculate my required number of columns and rows from the width and height of my parent element and the size of my icons.
After that, i chunk my items into the desired number of pieces and build an array, that represents the structure that i want (vertical stacking rather than horizontal).
I would appreciate any input and thoughts on the solution, although I am actually pretty happy with it for now.
Thats what I was looking for by the way, thanks for that, Don!

BCC: UK growth forecasts downgraded as uncertainty hits investment
In its first economic forecast since the EU referendum, the British Chambers of Commerce (BCC) has today downgraded its UK GDP growth forecast, from 2.2% to 1.8% in 2016, from 2.3% to 1.0% in 2017, and from 2.4% to 1.8% in 2018.
Weaker consumer spending and a large fall in investment were the main reasons for the leading business group's downgrading of its growth forecasts. The uncertainty surrounding the UK's long-term political arrangements with the EU, as well as the timeline over which any actions will take place, are expected to dampen growth prospects towards the end of 2016 and over 2017. Despite these issues, the UK is expected to skirt with, but avoid, recession. The post-referendum slide in sterling is expected to help improve the UK's net trade position.
The downgrades to the BCC's forecast for UK GDP growth imply that the UK economy will be £43.8 billion smaller at the end of the forecast period than previously predicted.
Key points in the forecast:
• UK GDP growth forecasts downgraded: to 1.8% for 2016, to 1.0% for 2017, and to 1.8% 2018.
• GDP growth is expected to slow sharply in the short-term – quarter-on-quarter growth in Q3 and Q4 2016 is forecast to slow down to 0.1%.
• If the GDP growth forecast for 2017 is realised it would be the weakest rate of growth since 2009.
• Weaker consumer spending and a large fall in investment is expected to be only partly offset by a stronger contribution from net trade.
• Business investment is expected to fall by 2.2% in 2016 and by 3.4% in 2017. The slight pick-up in business investment in 2018 (+2.0%) reflects a 'levelling-off' from the declines recorded in 2016 and 2017. This compares to our previous forecast of a 4.5% increase in 2016 and rises of 7.4% in 2017 and 2018.
• Export growth is expected to drop to 2.3% in 2016, from 4.8% in 2015, but grow slowly to 3% in 2017 and 4% in 2018.
• Services and consumer spending will remain the key growth drivers of the UK economy through the forecast period.
• Employment growth is expected to slow in 2017, as uncertainty weighs on recruitment intentions.
• A further cut in interest rates is expected by the end of the year.
Dr Adam Marshall, Acting Director General of the British Chambers of Commerce, said:
"Although individual businesses continue to report strong trading conditions, the overall picture suggests a sharp slowdown in UK growth lies ahead.
"Our forecast suggests that the UK is likely to avoid a recession, but with the health warning that businesses are still digesting the result of June's EU referendum and the challenges and opportunities to come.
"The value of sterling, the shape of future trade relationships, the status of EU nationals in the UK workforce and other factors will all influence business confidence over the coming quarters.
"Stability, clarity and action must continue to be the watchwords for government. Aside from a clear timetable for negotiations with the EU, ministers must act to support business investment and confidence.
"They should start with the long list of business-boosting infrastructure projects that have been put on hold for far too long – including a firm decision on a new airport runway, new nuclear investment, and road and rail schemes.
"We also need to see policies to encourage business investment, such as revisions to our outdated business rates system, which penalises companies for investment in plant and machinery, and hits firms before they have even turned over a penny."
Suren Thiru, BCC Head of Economics, said:
"The downgrades to our growth forecast confirm that the UK economy is set to enter a turbulent period, with growth expected to weaken materially in the near term.
"Mounting uncertainty is likely to put a brake on investment, while rising inflation and moderately weaker labour market conditions are expected to stifle consumer spending. On the upside, the UK's net trade position is expected to be boosted by the post-referendum slide in the value of sterling.
"Despite the likely improvement in the UK's trade position, the significant imbalances currently facing the UK economy are expected to persist through the forecast period, with a continued over-reliance on services and consumer spending as key determinants of UK economic growth.
"While the longer-term outlook for the UK economy is highly uncertain the risks are on balance tilted to the downside, with the deep-rooted structural issues, such the size of the UK's current account deficit, leaving the UK increasingly exposed to economic shocks."
