Zaostrog is tourist settlement on the Makarska coastline, about 35 km from Makarska . Today Zaostrog, as a tourist settlement of the southern Makarska coast, is completely oriented to the development of tourism. Zaostrog is settled permanently by some 350 inhabitants, mostly employed in hotel and restaurant services and tourism. The town has around 750 beds available in private residences, villas, and boarding houses, with a further 600 places at the Auto Camp "Viter".
Located in an evergreen valley and surrounded by the foothills of the Biokovo Range, with spectacular beaches, and with a rich historical and cultural tradition, in the immediate vicinity of numerous attractive destinations for excursions, Zaostrog is an attractive place for a pleasant vacation. It was mentioned for the first time in 1494, but this area was inhabited in the ancient past, as is shown by a granite handle quem from the late Stone Age, discovered at Viter, the hill about Zaostrog, in 1953. Zaostrog was also settled by the ancient Illyrians, as is confirmed by the numerous cemeteries of burial mounds.
A rich cultural life existed at Zaostrog in the period of Roman rule, as can be seen from the numerous classical monuments , particularly the stone ones: a relief of dancers and flute players in Illyrian attire, a relief showing the deity Mithras, and two tombstones. After the arrival of the Croats in the 7th century, the settlement received the Slavic name Ostrog, mentioned around 950 AD by the Byzantine Emperor Constantine Porphyrogenetus as one of the four fortified cities of the "Pagania" of the NeretvanPrincedom (Mokron, Berulia, Ostrok, Labinetza).
Medieval Ostrog (meaning "fortress") was located at a high point below Mali Viter, and later a new settlement called Zaostrog developed below the hill of Šapašnik on the north of the Zaostrog plain and to the northwest of the town cited by Porphy rogenetus. In the 15th century, the feudal lords of Zaostrog were Croatian noblemen, the Vlatkovic-Jurjevic brothers, who had a fortified castle at Viter, as is shown by the ruins, the remains of ancient fortifications, particularly a stone threshold with a relief of a hand. In the 17th centuru, the inhabitants of Zaostrog began to settle on the coastline, and finally everyone moved from the upper settlement to the area along the sea after an earthquake in 1962. The old town of Zaostrog contains three churches: the early Gothic Church of St.Barbara with a cemetery in the Roman section, the church of St.Roccus from the 17th century, and the newer church of St. Barbara from 1872. There are a further three small chapels: St.Anthony in the village (1893), the church of Our Lady at Kucina (1911), and St.Elias at Prosik (1894). The largest and most important cultural monument in this area, and even beyond, is the Franciscan monastery of St.Mary.
The monastery is considered to havebeen founded in the 14th century. It was established by monks of the order of "hermits of St. Augustine", called Augustinians, who abandoned the monastery after the fall of Bosnia in 1463 and retreated to the islands. Franciscans from the Province of Bosnia Srebrena settled in the abandoned monastery in 1468, and are still present today. The Franciscans succeeded in improving the monastery, even under the difficult conditions of Turkish rule, to the extent that in 1640 it was proclaimed one of the most beautiful monasteries of this large province, according to the evaluation of a visitation team from Rome.
One of the most important cultural monuments that illuminates the cultural level of the monastery at that time is a stone inscription written in the Croatian lanuage and a special script ("Bosancica") from 1589, located above the main entrance to the church. The monastery at Zaostrog was at that point an internationally famous pilgrimage site that was included in a list of Marian sites throughout the world. The monastery also had an important role in education. During the more than 500 years of its existence, a school for the education of future priests was located in it.
Even during the period of the Turkish rule, an elementary and liberal arts school existed in 1640, later followed by a classical secondary school, and philosophy and religious faculties. The monastery possesses a rich library with around 20.000 books and an archival department. Among the many famous names of Croatian culture and history who lived and worked in the monastery at Zaostrog was Father Andrija Kacic Miošic, the Croatian poet, writer and philosopher, born at Brist in 1704 and died at Zaostrog in 1760, and Father Ivan Despot (1886), a Croatian writer and poet. A.K. Miošic-"Old Man Milovan", ashe called himself, was educated in the Zaostrog monastery, took orders there, further created his literary works there, died, and was buried at the monastery.
The monastery at Zaostrog is often called "Kacic's monastery". The monastery also contains a picture gallery featuring one of the most famous living Croatian painters, Mladen Veža, born in Brist in 1916. The monastery museum also contains an ethnology collection, of rustic furniture and tools, as well as various examples of Croatian folk attire. The collection is registered as a cultural monument under state protection. The monastery garden has been turned into a botanical garden containing more than 250 plants, particulary featuring: seven types of mimosa, five types of palms and maples, four types of eucalyptus, a Chinese jujube tree, Chinese currants, etc.

Campaigns for Msambweni By-Election Hot Up
KNA October 5, 2020 Counties, Editor's Pick, Kwale, Politics 0
Campaigning for the Msambweni parliamentary seat ahead of the December 15 by-election has begun in earnest.
The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) last month announced that the by-election, which was postponed in April due to the Covid-19 outbreak, will be finally held on December 15.
Parliamentary hopefuls and parties have hit the campaign trail in a bid to win the hearts and minds of Msambweni voters.
The seat fell vacant following the death of the immediate Member of Parliament for the constituency Suleiman Dori in March this year.
Msambweni is one of the four constituencies in Kwale county, others being Lunga-Lunga, Matuga and Kinango.
It has 69,377 registered voters spread across the four wards including Ramisi, Kinondo, Bongwe-Gombato and Ukunda.
The constituency features a high grade ore body with a high value mineral assemblage such as rutile, ilmenite and zircon. It has also world class tourist hotels doting Diani beach which has been voted the best in Africa for six years in a row.
The two-term MP who succumbed to cancer was a member of the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) party.
Several candidates are contesting to replace the late Dori among them former Bongwe-Gombato MCA Omar Boga (ODM), Feisal Abdallah (Independent), Sharlet Mariam Akinyi (Independent), Liganje Mwakaoje (United Green Movement) party and Shee Abdulrahman (Wiper Democratic Movement) party.
The candidates for the Msambweni parliamentary by-election have already embarked on meet-the-people tours to woo voters.
ODM Kwale branch chairman and former MP for Matuga Hassan Mwanyoha says his party is keen on recapturing the Msambweni seat.
Speaking Sunday, Mwanyoha said the seat rightfully belongs to the party and aspirants on other political parties and independent candidates should brace themselves for a bruising political duel.
He also said ODM party leader and former Prime Minister Raila Odinga is expected to visit the region and offer support to the party candidate.
Boga is the younger brother to Agriculture Principal Secretary Prof. Hamisi Boga while Abdallah is cousin and former personal assistant to the late legislator.
Abdallah has denied that he enjoys support from the 'Tangatanga' wing of the Jubilee government insisting he was on his own.
Abdallah and Akinyi had been eying the ODM party ticket before jumping ship and meeting Deputy President Dr. William Ruto separately.
However, the two later announced that they will run as independent candidates after the Jubilee party resolved not to field a candidate but will instead back the ODM candidate in the race.
Lunga Lunga MP Khatib Mwashetani and his Kinango counterpart Benjamin Tayari also headed straight into the fray, having vowed to support Abdallah.
"I urge the people of Msambweni to come out in large numbers on 15th December to vote for Abdallah for continuity of Msambweni development plans and in honour of our late brother Suleiman Dori for the good job that he was able to accomplish," said Mwashetani.
Sharlet, who is the only female politician in the ring is banking on the votes of women and the youth whom she says are still grappling with limited political inclusion and high levels of poverty.
Mwakaoje is a retired clinical officer while Shee Abdulrahman is a prominent local businessman in the constituency.
While on a meet-the –people tour in several locations Boga stressed the need for a high voter turnout in the upcoming by-election.
He is exuding confidence noting that the ODM party has a strong following in the constituency that was established for the 1988 general elections.
The former civic leader says there is 'no competition' between the different political parties as ODM enjoys a strong following in the poll area.
He said he will focus on the fishing and tourism sectors and other spheres of development if elected.
Abdurahman promised to revamp tourism and agriculture if elected MP noting that the constituency has lagged behind in development due to bad political leadership.
Mwakaoje says his agenda in seeking to represent the constituency was in pursuit of a fair, just and equitable society.

Is Shailene Woodley Engaged to Aaron Rodgers?
Jacklyn Krol Published: February 7, 2021

Are Shailene Woodley and Aaron Rodgers engaged?
On Saturday (February 6), during the televised NFL Honors Awards, the Green Bay Packers player made the big announcement that he got engaged
During his acceptance speech for the AP Most Valuable Player award, Rodgers thanked numerous loved ones, including "my fiancée."
Rodgers said that despite the chaos of 2020, the past year wasn't all that bad for him. "I got engaged and I played some of the best football in my career," he said during his acceptance speech.
While he didn't name Woodley specifically, many are wondering if that's who he was talking about.
Last week, media outlets reported that the Divergent actress and quarterback were in a long-distance relationship
"They have kept things private and low key," a source told E! News. "They have seen each other and been in touch. They continue to talk and see each other when they can. They are both focused on their careers but they also make time for each other."
Rodgers broke up with his longtime girlfriend Danica Patrick in July 2020 after two years of dating. Woodley was previously seeing professional rugby player Ben Volavola, according to multiple reports. The pair reportedly split in April 2020.

Cristian MendozaParish Missionary
Cristian was born and raised in the great state of Texas. He grew up in San Antonio with two siblings, Adam and Marissa, and their mother, Betty. Cristian was able to attend private school all the way until college, however, he and his family never practiced the faith too intensely. Because of that, he had never thought about joining the youth group at his parish but fortunately ended involved in the A.C.T.S. ministry at his parish as well as high school.
Cristian never lived out his faith even though he had always been around it. To him, it was just another academic subject to get a good grade on. Then, he attended a freshmen A.C.T.S. retreat at St. Luke's Parish and School and experienced Jesus' love and acceptance of Cristian in Eucharistic Adoration. It was then that Cristian wanted to take his faith more seriously. He would continue with A.C.T.S. at his high school and be involved in other Catholic ministries there.
In the fall of 2015, Cristian moved to Austin and attended The University of Texas at Austin. It was at the University Catholic Center there that he experienced the deep love of Christ. He would find a virtuous group of guys to befriend which pushed each other to get to know Jesus more intimately. In 2017, Cristian heard about a camp in Alaska called St. Therese's camp. He had formed a devotion to St. Therese and would pursue the opportunity in the summer of 2018. What he experienced was literally life changing. Cristian fell in love with the state and the culture as well as his now-fiancé, Paige Christensen.
Within a month of coming back to UT to finish his degree, Fr. Scott would call Cristian and offer a Parish Missionary position to him starting in January 2019. Through prayer and conversations with his spiritual director, he was instructed that this would be the best way for Cristian to fall deeper in love with Jesus (and Paige!). Ever since, Cristian has been happy with his move and is looking forward to his marriage in September!

Director Dexter Fletcher - who also stepped in to finish the Freddie Mercury biopic Bohemian Rhapsody - recently spoke to Smooth Radio about the making of the film, and what scenes he would love to have included if he had more time.
"There's loads there that the two-hour running time just simply doesn't allow," Dexter said. "What Elton's done, just in terms of raising money for his Aids foundation. We tried to tackle it. It's in the DVD extras.
"But it's a huge story, and it's something that is another massive part of his life, and who he became, and why – even before he went into recovery, he was tackling those issues. It was something that was affecting him deeply and personally, and he was endeavouring to do something about it."

He continued: "But into the finished film, it didn't find its way – for various reasons. You know, you sort of end up going down… you know, it almost needs a film in its own right, because it's such a huge thing.
"But also, the adventures that he had in New York with John Lennon – John Lennon was a great friend of his. The last performance Lennon ever did was on stage with Elton. It came out of a bet, when Lennon wrote 'Imagine', and Elton said to him, 'I bet you that gets the number one'.

"He said, 'What's the bet?' He said, 'You have to perform live with me'. There's incredible stories there, of them held up in hotel rooms in New York, trying to hide from the paparazzi."
Speaking about how Elton was a big fan of the film, he said: "He called it a masterpiece, which was the first thing he said to me about it. I don't think he bandies that around lightly. I suppose I've always made a film for an audience of one, because that was obviously my first thought: how would he feel about it?
"But he was always so brilliant in saying, 'Make the film you want to make. Don't make the film you think I want to see.' And that is what's so genius about his involvement, and how he handled it."
Fletcher will soon be taking on the long-awaited third Sherlock Holmes movie starring Robert Downey Jr and Jude Law, taking over from the director of the first two movies, Guy Ritchie, with whom he worked with on Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels.
He said: "I've not spoken to [Guy] a great deal about it. I saw him, and he said, 'Good luck with that. That's great. You'll have a great time. Robert's fantastic' – which he is – 'and Jude's a genius' – which he is. You've got those two geniuses working together. You're going to get some great material.
"It's a different take from Guy's take. But I think that Guy feels that he's obviously said what he needs to say with that, and he's doing other things. But for me, it's very fresh and new. So that makes sense."
Rocketman is out on DVD and Blu-ray now.

The first Lancer Evolution used the 2.0 L turbocharged DOHC engine and AWD drivetrain from the original Galant VR-4 in a Lancer chassis, and was sold in GSR and RS models. This engine was also used in theMitsubishi RVR with the Hyper Sports Gear trim package, and the Mitsubishi Chariot Resort Runner GT. The RS was a stripped-down version that lacked (power) windows and seats, anti-lock brakes, a rear wiper, and had steel wheels to weigh approximately 70 kg (154 lb) less than the 1,238 kg (2,729 lb) GSR, ready for racing or tuning. The RS version was released with a mechanical plate type rear Limited-slip differential (LSD). The GSR came with all of the conveniences of a typical street car, including a digital screen climate control system. It came with Mitsubishi's 4G63 engine producing 247 PS (182 kW; 244 hp) at 6000 rpm and 309 N·m (228 lb·ft) at 3000 rpm. 5,000 of the first generation Evolutions were sold between 1992 and 1993. Top speed was 228 km/h (142 mph). The GSR version of the Evolution I was the only Evolution Lancer released with a Viscous Limited Slip Rear Differential (VLSD). The subsequent Evolution Lancer models all featured rear mechanical plate type LSD's.
February 1995 saw the arrival of the Evolution 3, followed a pre-release in 1993 which had several improvements over the previous models. New, more aggressive styling and a new nose moulding improved the air supply to the radiator, intercooler and brakes. New side skirts and rear bumper moldings and a larger rear spoiler were added to reduce lift. Improved engine had higher compression ratio than before, and new turbocharger compressor (65 mm to 68 mm), which gave power output of 270 bhp (201 kW) at 6250 rpm, 309 N⋅m (228 lb⋅ft) at 3000 rpm.
The Lancer platform was completely changed in 1996, and along with it, the Evolution, which had become extremely popular throughout the world. The engine and transaxle were rotated 180° to better balance the weight and eliminate torque steer. There were two versions available, The RS and GSR. The RS version was produced as a competition car with a limited-slip front differential and a friction type LSD at the rear. It also came with GLX seats and a choice of either 16" or 17" OZ light weight racing wheels. The RS also had wind up windows, optional air conditioning in some models, and a few extra brace bars to strengthen the chassis, one behind the front grill and the other across the boot floor. The GSR and the RS shared a new twin scroll turbocharger which helped to improve response and increase power to 280 PS (206 kW; 276 hp) at 6,500 rpm and 330 N⋅m (243 lb⋅ft) torque at 4,000 rpm. Mitsubishi's new Active Yaw Control appeared as a factory option on the GSR model, which used steering, throttle input sensors and g sensors to computer-hydraulically control torque split individually to the rear wheels and as a result the 10000 Evolution IVs produced all sold quickly. The Evolution IV can be distinguished by its two large fog lights in the front bumper (option on RS version), and the newly designed tail lights on the rear, which became a standard design to Evolution V, which would become yet another trademark of the Evolution series. This new generation was slightly heavier than previous Evos—the GSR in particular due to the added technology systems—but to counter this the car produced even more power—the weight of the RS being 1,260 kg (2,778 lb) and the GSR being 1,345 kg (2,965 lb). Much of the technical improvements for this generation were also used in the second generation Mitsubishi RVR sold only in Japan.
RS – "rally sport" Close-ratio 5-speed, minimal interior, rally suspension, 1.5 Way LSD, (Shortened close-ratio 5-speed transmission, Auto Air Conditioner, Enkei Wheels, Recarobucket seat, Brembo brakes, power windows are available as options).
The track was widened by 10 mm (0.4 in), the wheel offset changed from ET45 to ET38 along with the wheel diameter which rose from 16" to 17" to accommodate Brembo brakes which were added to enhance braking.
Furthermore, the turbocharger was again improved. Torque was increased to 373 N⋅m (275 lb⋅ft) at 3000 rpm. Power officially stayed the same, at 280 PS (206 kW; 276 hp), though some claim horsepower was actually somewhat higher.
RS – "rally sport" Close-ratio 5-speed, minimal interior, rally suspension, 1.5 Way LSD, (Shortened close-ratio 5-speed transmission, Auto Air Conditioner, Enkei Wheels, Recarobucket seat, Brembo brakes, power window are available as option).
The Evolution VI's changes mainly focused on cooling and engine durability. It received a larger intercooler, larger oil cooler, and new pistons, along with a titanium-aluminide turbine wheel for the RS model, which was a first in a production car. Output was rated at 280 PS (276 hp; 206 kW) @ 6500 rpm and maximum torque of 373 N⋅m (275 lb⋅ft) @ 3000 rpm . The Evolution VI received new bodywork yet again, with the most easily noticeable change being within the front bumper where the huge fog lights were reduced in size and moved to the corners for better airflow. A new model was added to the GSR and RS lineup; known as the RS2, it was an RS with a few of the GSR's options. Another limited-edition RS was known as the RS Sprint, an RS tuned by Ralliart in the UK to be lighter and more powerful with 330 hp (246 kW).
Yet another special edition Evolution VI was released in December 1999: the Tommi Mäkinen Edition, named after Finnish rally driver Tommi Mäkinen who had won Mitsubishi four WRC drivers championships. It featured a different front bumper, Red/Black Recaro seats (with embossed T. Mäkinen logo), 17" Enkei white wheels, a leather Momo steering wheel and shift knob, a titanium turbine that spooled up more quickly, front upper strut brace, lowered ride height (with tarmac stages in mind), and a quicker steering ratio. Amongst other colours, the Evo VI came in either red (Tommi Mäkinen Edition only), white, blue, black or silver with optional special decals, replicating Tommi Mäkinen's rally car's colour scheme. This car is also sometimes referred to as an Evolution 6½, Evolution 6.5, or TME for short.
The introduction of the Evolution VII also marked the first time an automatic drivetrain was included within the model lineup—the GT-A. Seen as the 'gentleman's express' version of the visually similar VII GSR and the RS2, the GT-A model was only produced in 2002 and had the following distinguishing interior and exterior specification: GT-A-only diamond cut finish 17-inch (430 mm) alloy wheels, clear rear light lenses and all-in-one style front headlights (later used on the Evolution VIII). The GT-A had the option of either no spoiler, the short spoiler (as per the Lancer Cedia; and later used on the Evolution VIII 260) or the thunderspoiler as used on the standard Evolution VII models. The most distinguishing feature was a smooth bonnet with no air-grills on it at all and the revised front bumper. Although offering inferior cooling capabilities, the bonnet was designed to give a cleaner line through the air with less air resistance at motorway speeds.
This model of Evolution was used on the film 2 Fast 2 Furious as the car driven by the late Paul Walker. He drove a yellow Evolution 7 which was lightly modified performance wise but heavily modified when it comes to the aesthetics. However, one of the producers claimed that they used a 2001 Mitsubishi Lancer Ralliart edition instead of an Evo as the car used for production and stunt scenes.
Based on the title, does this mean that all will be available to import as of October 2017 or just the Evo 1?
Try reading past the title. Cars have to be over 25 years old to be legally imported.

Q: iPhone - Program Received Signal : 0 - on device but not on simulator ( Memory MAnagement Issue) I'm going through a rigorous memory based issue while iterating over a loop performing bulk insertion in SQLite database .
I'm quiet sure this is memory concerned and I'm unable to point out the variable causing problems.
I have released everything allocated as far as I can check.
There are no memory leaks upto this point analyzed through instruments. The snippet of code is as follows :
int m=0;

while ([arrData count]!=0) {

if (newQuery) {

    exeQuery = query;
    newQuery = false;

}
else
{
    exeQuery=[exeQuery stringByAppendingFormat:@" UNION"];
}

NSMutableDictionary *data = [[NSMutableDictionary alloc] initWithDictionary:[arrData objectAtIndex:0]];

[data removeObjectForKey:@"statement"];
[data removeObjectForKey:@"datetime_stamp"];

NSString *strVal=@"";
NSString *_value=@"";

int i=0;
    for(;i<[keys  count]-1;i++)
    {
        if(_value==nil || _value==NULL){
            _value=@"";
        }

        _value=[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@",[data objectForKey:[keys objectAtIndex:i]]];
        _value=[_value stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:@"'" withString:@"''"];

        strVal=[strVal stringByAppendingFormat:@"'%@',",_value];

    }

if(_value==nil || _value==NULL){
    _value=@"";
}

_value=[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@",[data objectForKey:[keys objectAtIndex:i]]];
_value=[_value stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:@"'" withString:@"''"];

strVal=[strVal stringByAppendingFormat:@"'%@'",_value];

exeQuery=[exeQuery stringByAppendingFormat:@" SELECT %@",strVal];

if (m!=0 && m%499==0) {

    [DataSource executeQuery:exeQuery];

    //db.execute(exeQuery);
    newQuery = true;
}

[data release];

[arrData removeObjectAtIndex:0];

m++;
}

for (;m<locations_length; m++) {

if (newQuery) {

    exeQuery = query;
    newQuery = false;

}
else
{
    exeQuery=[exeQuery stringByAppendingFormat:@" UNION"];
}

NSMutableDictionary *data = [[NSMutableDictionary alloc] initWithDictionary:[arrData objectAtIndex:m]];

[data removeObjectForKey:@"statement"];
[data removeObjectForKey:@"datetime_stamp"];

NSString *strVal=@"";
NSString *_value=@"";

int i=0;
    for(;i<[keys  count]-1;i++)
    {
        if(_value==nil || _value==NULL){
            _value=@"";
        }

        _value=[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@",[data objectForKey:[keys objectAtIndex:i]]];
        _value=[_value stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:@"'" withString:@"''"];

        strVal=[strVal stringByAppendingFormat:@"'%@',",_value];

    }

if(_value==nil || _value==NULL){
    _value=@"";
}

_value=[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@",[data objectForKey:[keys objectAtIndex:i]]];
_value=[_value stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:@"'" withString:@"''"];

strVal=[strVal stringByAppendingFormat:@"'%@'",_value];

exeQuery=[exeQuery stringByAppendingFormat:@" SELECT %@",strVal];

if (m!=0 && m%499==0) {

    [DataSource executeQuery:exeQuery];

    //db.execute(exeQuery);
    newQuery = true;
}

[data release];
}

Any help is greatly appreciated. Plz join hands.. !
Thanks in advance.

A: without knowing how many iterations you are going through in [keys count] you are doing a lot of NSString operations.  Each "stringBy..." message is going to allocate a new autoreleased NSString instance which will not be released until you exit your loops.  You may want to consider using NSMutableString instead and using
replaceOccurrencesOfString:withString:options:range:

To reduce the number of autoreleased objects you are creating (which will thereby reduce your application's memory footprint).  See the NSMutableString documentation.  Otherwise I suggest using the Allocations tool or something similar in Xcode to try and closer examine your memory footprint

A: Its obvious that we are using a string that gets mutated every instances hence nsmutablestring is optimized solution .Also while analyzing the functions :
[NSMutableString replaceOccurrencesOfString:@"'" withString:@"''"]
[NSMutableString  appendString:]

in instruments they leave less memory foot-prints while comparing them with the previous you have used.

A: For bulk insertion of records in database either using Sqlite or Core Data, always prefer to use loop in @autoreleasepool{}, because with this, all the objects in autorelease mode, will get nil after immediate use.

Hit and Run Drunk Driver Kills Pedestrian
Texan arrested in fatal hit and run was driving under the influence.
"In this case, two brothers were walking beside I-37 when one of them was hit by a blue Chrysler PT Cruiser that took off. The man, a 39-year-old, died at the scene," said Brooks Schuelke, a personal injury lawyer with Perlmutter & Schuelke, L.L.P in Austin, Texas.
The police had their work cut out for them, as eyewitness reports were unreliable. However, a break in the investigation came when a passenger in the PT Cruiser called police to tell them what happened. The witness said he was passed out in the passenger's seat when he was startled awake by a loud crashing noise and was then showered in glass. Further investigation led to eventually identifying the Cruiser owner, a 32-year-old female, as the driver of the vehicle at the time of the accident. She was charged in connection with the incident.
"It was evident from the eyewitness report, and from other sources, that the Cruiser driver had been drinking the night of the hit and run. The woman was arrested and put in jail. In jail, she told a cellmate she had hit a man, after spending time in a bar, but that 'he should not have been on the road in the first place,'" said Schuelke.
The wrongful death of the 39-year-old man was a sudden and horrific shock for his family. They are trying to pick up the pieces after their son's death and are considering filing a wrongful death lawsuit with the hope that what happened to their son will never happen to someone else.
"If you have been in an accident like this, you should contact a personal injury lawyer. They can advise you of your legal rights and explain what needs to be done, should you wish to file a lawsuit, either a personal injury or a wrongful death suit. Doing so may help you cope with your injuries or loss," said Schuelke.

Hello, MTs! I just got back from a week's vacation. A week in Northern Wyoming, out of cell phone range, where the only computer around was on the green tortoise dial-up plan.
It would have been too brutal to jump right back into the US news cycle, so my Sunday morning eyes ranged toward articles about movies and dancers and cartoons and French presidential hopefuls instead.
Segolene Royal, 52, is a single mother of four, and she's poised to run as the presidential candidate for the Socialist Party. The French public thinks she's la bombe: she enjoys a 68% approval rating. I won't even pretend to follow French politics, but the article about Segolene was intriguing for a number of reasons. Check this out:
She is also good at crossing social lines.
While she embraces her party's liberal line on such issues as gay marriage and parenting, she is more reticent in backing other stances such as guaranteed employment. As the former minister of family and social affairs, she spearheaded a fight against violence and sex on TV. Yet she allowed the "morning-after" contraception pill to be distributed in French public schools.
"She represents a sort of synthesis," Sineau said. "She's from the left, but she also talks about family values. That pleases people."
She's also wired: her website "features an interactive book on subjects as diverse as immigration, genetically modified crops, and education," and she holds online chat sessions.
Sound familiar? A liberal mom with diverse interests and opinions on political issues, who talks about family values and is active online… Sounds like a MT, yo!
What does the old male guard have to say about Segolene's rising star?
"Who will look after the children?" asked former Prime Minister Laurent Fabius, referring Royal's four offspring, who range in age from 14 to 22.
Fabius then returned the clothespin to his nose and shuffled off into the twilight of sexism. A poll published by Elle magazine in January found 94 percent of French support the idea of a female president. Sez Mariette Sineau of the National Center for Scientific Research in Paris:
"It shows the discrepancy between a feminization of public opinion — which is completely ready to have women invest more in politics, even at the highest levels — and the misogyny of a political class which is completely closed, and composed primarily of men."

High Angular Momentum Halo Gas: A Feedback and Code-independent Prediction of LCDM
Stewart, Kyle R. and Maller, Ariyeh H. and Oñorbe, José and Bullock, James S. and Joung, M. Ryan and Devriendt, Julien and Ceverino, Daniel and Kereš, Dušan and Hopkins, Philip F. and Faucher-Giguère, Claude-André (2017) High Angular Momentum Halo Gas: A Feedback and Code-independent Prediction of LCDM. Astrophysical Journal, 843 (1). Art. No. 47. ISSN 1538-4357. https://resolver.caltech.edu/CaltechAUTHORS:20170707-070944289
We investigate angular momentum acquisition in Milky Way-sized galaxies by comparing five high resolution zoom-in simulations, each implementing identical cosmological initial conditions but utilizing different hydrodynamic codes: Enzo, Art, Ramses, Arepo, and Gizmo-PSPH. Each code implements a distinct set of feedback and star formation prescriptions. We find that while many galaxy and halo properties vary between the different codes (and feedback prescriptions), there is qualitative agreement on the process of angular momentum acquisition in the galaxy's halo. In all simulations, cold filamentary gas accretion to the halo results in ~4 times more specific angular momentum in cold halo gas (λ_(cold) ≳ 0.1) than in the dark matter halo. At z > 1, this inflow takes the form of inspiraling cold streams that are co-directional in the halo of the galaxy and are fueled, aligned, and kinematically connected to filamentary gas infall along the cosmic web. Due to the qualitative agreement among disparate simulations, we conclude that the buildup of high angular momentum halo gas and the presence of these inspiraling cold streams are robust predictions of Lambda Cold Dark Matter galaxy formation, though the detailed morphology of these streams is significantly less certain. A growing body of observational evidence suggests that this process is borne out in the real universe.

Thanks President Obama! Now we can have a Happy New Year!
H.R. 6398, which provides for permanent Federal deposit insurance coverage for Interest on Lawyers Trust Accounts, the interest earned on which is used by States to support legal aid for low-income individuals.
This amendment will provide Interest on Lawyers Trust Accounts (IOLTAs) with the same temporary, unlimited insurance coverage afforded to noninterest-bearing transaction accounts under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act – H.R. 6398 extends unlimited FDIC insurance to IOLTA accounts through December 31, 2012.
The office is quiet today, the last day of 2009. In fact, most people are off. But I thought it would be a good time to catch up on some of those pending to-dos. And this post is one of those on my to-do list.
A few weeks back, on December 17, 2009, the Supreme Court of South Carolina issued an order amending Rule 412. Rule 412, SCACR, governs the IOLTA program. The amendments were requested by the SC Bar Foundation earlier this year. The Supreme Court then received written comments from interested entities, including from the SC Access to Justice Commission.
Well, because IOLTA affects access to justice in a large way. Remember our previous post re: IOLTA?
IOLTA is a way to support access to justice to people living in poverty without taxing the public or charging attorneys or their clients. IOLTA is pooled to provide civil legal aid to the poor and support improvements to the justice system.
Well, the big news is that the amendments include interest rate comparability. This becomes effective June 15, 2010.
What is interest rate comparability?
GENERALLY: Interest Rate Comparability for IOLTA accounts indicates that the financial institution that pays those accounts the highest interest rate generally available at that institution to other customers when IOLTA accounts meet the same minimum balance or other account qualifications, if any.
The hope is that these higher interest rates will allow the SC Bar Foundation to distribute more money to their grantees, entities working to bring about equal justice in the civil legal system.
And that makes one more good thing that happened in 2009!
SC ATJ New Year's Wishes or Resolutions?
As the New Year's wishes and resolutions are starting to pour in, I've had a few moments to ponder Access to Justice resolutions for 2009. Before I lose count of the many goals for 2009, I thought I'd share a few.
12. South Carolina Access to Justice will develop a working relationship with legal paraprofessionals throughout the state.
11. Technology advances such as instant messaging, podcasts, YouTube videos, and email allow greater communication to and for people in need of low-cost legal services, especially when transportation imposes a barrier.
10. The Commission and partner organizations reach solutions to the need for interpreters for individuals who are Deaf and with Limited English Proficiency (LEP).
9. South Carolina law students, both USC School of Law and Charleston School of Law students, become engaged in access to justice and collaborate with the Commission for creative solutions.
8. South Carolina attorneys recognize the opportunity that unbundled or limited scope legal services can provide to South Carolinians with low income or of modest means, especially during this financial climate while sustaining the attorney's practice at the same time.
7. SC Access to Justice establishes a library workgroup to assist self-represented litigants (SRLs) with access to approved, free legal forms (http://www.sccourts.org/forms/indexSelfHelp.cfm) and to establish a long-lasting partnership with libraries.
6. All South Carolinians who are unable to afford an attorney can reach one access point for all South Carolina legal service organizations.
5. Every County Courthouse will house or have access to a nearby self-help center for self-represented litigants.
4. Every county self-help center will be staffed for a minimum of 5 hours per week by pro bono attorneys.
3. Every South Carolina licensed attorney completes at least 50 hours of pro bono service as per ABA Model Rule 6.1 VOLUNTARY PRO BONO SERVICE.
1. That ALL South Carolinians have equal access to the law and its remedies without regard to their economic status.

Thriller writers, I like them, I read them, I read alot of them. While reading them have I ever lost control, blacked out? No! Not yet anyway.
There are some that I especially like, in particular Louis Lamour (OK, he's a Western writer but he still thrills me), John Macdonald, Robert Parker, and Frederick Forsyth, of these four Forsyth is the only one still alive. Still living also, are others that I read, detective fiction writers, Michael Connelly and Robert Crais being two of them.
Martha Raddatz's The Long Road Home.
Noah Yuval Harari's Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind.
There are the thousands, not yet ten thousand, hard copy books here at home on our bookshelves most of which I haven't read through. These few thousand books have for the most part stuck close to us, have "followed" us throughout our now long lifetimes (not followed rather but hauled along after us) from Paris to New York then to St John's College in Annapolis and Santa Fe, 4 years later back to Rockport, MA, then onto Beverly, MA to the school that my wife and I founded in Rockport in 1972, and now, for the past ten years or so, since 2006, the books are here with us in Tampa, Fl. where we are helping to homeschool our grandkids.
While I recognize them, probably could say even when and where I purchased them, what they're really doing now, at least from often passing their spines quite visible on my shelves, (where they stay since I no longer read them) is reminding me daily of what I would like to forget, the fact that I have never really read right through most of them, and that now in my 80s I never will. They remind me also that they will soon need a new home. I'm working on that.
So what is all this about? What am I saying? Yes I like books, I like to read books. But most books I acquire I don't finish. Although I never tire of going back and reading the thrillers a second, third and fourth time, in particular Louis Lamour and John MacDonald, I've never read through even one time, Kant, Hegel, or more recently John Dewey. In fact probably the only books that I read from one end to the other are the thrillers. While I don't think I'm alone in this way of doing things, I'm sure there are many also who do read the non-fiction books right through from beginning to end, or actually may even work on a good number of the problems in the calculus texts of which I have a good number and with which I no longer struggle. I admire them.
During my lifetime I have never stopped buying books and mostly not reading them. We don't do that with clothes and technology and cars, and such, or at least not to the extent that we do so with books. If I had my life to do over would I do it any differently? Probably.
John Macdonald's Travis McGee series is a favorite of mine. I've finished all his books, probably some 60 or 70 of them (ditto for Louis Lamour). Sure I'm caught up in the story, as with MacDonald and Lamour, and Parker, and Crais, and others, but it's often from MacDonald that I also grow in my understanding, from his own powerful way of describing and seeing life. I felt this very strongly just today when I read the passage below (for at least the third time!).
In any case I don't think we should get too hung up on our ways of classifying books, even as fiction and non-fiction, and that a more interesting and more helpful separation, would be that between the good writers and bad writers, and we have to decide, each one of us, those who are the good ones and read them, and avoid the others.
In my life MacDonald has been one of the good ones, and he gives us his profound thoughts and observations about much in our lives, as for example about what he calls the "why question," as in the following passage from Chapter 3 of his A Purple Place for Dying.
State Western was one of those new institutions they keep slapping up to take care of the increasing flood of kids. It was beyond the sleepy-looking town. Hundreds of cars winked in the mid-morning sun on huge parking lots. The university buildings were giant brown shoeboxes in random pattern over substantial acreage. It was ten o'clock and kids were hurrying on their long treks from building to building.
Off to the right was the housing complex of dormitories, and a big garden apartment layout which I imagined housed faculty and administrative personnel. A sign at the entrance drive to the campus buildings read: NO STUDENT CARS. The blind sides of the big buildings held big bright murals made of ceramic tile, in a stodgy treatment of such verities as Industry, Freedom, Peace, etc.
The paths crisscrossed the baked earth. There were some tiny areas of green, lovingly nurtured, but it would be years before it all looked like the architect's rendering. The kids hustled to their ten-o'clocks, little and young, intent on their obscure purposes. Khakis and jeans, cottons and colors.
Vague glances, empty as camera lenses, moved across me as I drove slowly by. I was on the other side of the fence of years. They could relate and react to adults with whom they had a forced personal contact. But strangers were as meaningless to them as were the rocks and scrubby trees. They were in the vivid tug and flex of life, and we were faded pictures on the corridor walls—drab, ended and slightly spooky. I noticed a goodly sprinkling of Latin blood among them, the tawny cushiony girls and the bullfighter boys. They all seemed to have an urgency about them, that strained harried trimester look. It would cram them through sooner, and feed them out into the corporations and the tract houses, breeding and hurrying, organized for all the time and money budgets, binary systems, recreation funds, taxi transports, group adjustments, tenure, constructive hobbies.
It is all functional, of course. But it is like what we have done to chickens. Forced growth under optimum conditions, so that in eight weeks they are ready for the mechanical picker. The most forlorn and comical statements are the ones made by the grateful young who say, Now I can be ready in two years and nine months to go out and earn a living rather than wasting four years in college.
Education is something which should be apart from the necessities of earning a living, not a tool therefor. It needs contemplation, fallow periods, the measured and guided study of the history of man's reiteration of the most agonizing question of all: Why? Today the good ones, the ones who want to ask why, find no one around with any interest in answering the question, so they drop out, because theirs is the type of mind which becomes monstrously bored at the trade-school concept. A devoted technician is seldom an educated man. He can be a useful man, a contented man, a busy man. But he has no more sense of the mystery and wonder and paradox of existence than does one of those chickens fattening itself for the mechanical plucking, freezing and packaging.
About the Author John D. MacDonald was an American novelist and short story writer. His works include the Travis McGee series and the novel The Executioners, which was adapted into the film Cape Fear. In 1962 MacDonald was named a Grand Master of the Mystery Writers of America; in 1980 he won a National Book Award. In print he delighted in smashing the bad guys, deflating the pompous, and exposing the venal. In life he was a truly empathetic man; his friends, family, and colleagues found him to be loyal, generous, and practical. In business he was fastidiously ethical. About being a writer, he once expressed with gleeful astonishment, "They pay me to do this! They don't realize, I would pay them." He spent the later part of his life in Florida with his wife and son. He died in 1986.

Try not to succumb to the common inclination to confuse attachment and its attendant fear of loss with actual selfless love. Attachment is to Love what Expectation is to Agreement. Many "loving" relationships are but semi-functional attachments.


Giving this set one more round of interest check to see any feedback that the community may have.
While the general trend for keysets right now seems to be a more subdued and refined look, I would like to introduce something disgustingly contrary to that.
This set is based off of the classic video game character Spyro the Dragon. I remember as a kid always wanting to play Spyro on my mom's friend's PS1 because I thought there was nothing cooler than gliding around as a freaking purple dragon. This set is all about capturing that nostalgic feeling.
The alphas are purple to represent the retro character's purple scales while the modifiers are a vibrant orange for two reasons. Spyro the Dragon on PS1's cover art features a gorgeous orange in fire underlining Spyro's name, and in the final installment of Spyro (Dawn of the Dragon) his wings were a beautiful orange. The bonus enter and escape keys are there to represent Spyro's best friend and dragonfly, Sparx.
I was conscious when designing this set to use GMK stock colors (orange - V2, purple - DY, yellow - CV) to keep costs down and create a more predictable outcome with the colors. All suggestions welcome except for "tone it down". Purple and orange have no chill.
I like to see something with bold colors!
So yeah, this has my attention!
So, I had my thread on this IC necroed on Geekhack and get a couple of votes on the MD poll, so I got curious if the community is softening to the idea of a louder set again. And a part of me still really wants this project to happen as I've had the idea for this for about 2ish years now.
Wanted to bring this back up here now that Keebtalk has a more active community than it did when I originally posted this. So, consider IC for this set that I don't want to let die yet reopen.
I dig it! The colors are a bit loud, although I get the feeling that's the ideal behind this set LOL! It actually has a DBZ vibe to it IMO. Anyways GL with this, I'd definitely consider picking up a set if it makes it to GB!
Ha, never thought about it, but you're kinda right. Flip the orange with the purple, and make the purple a dark blue, and then I'm basically at Goku's training gi.
super interesting. maybe not my thing, but i can definetly appreciate a bold keyset.
This is certainly an interesting set. I do think that you could cut down on some costs by removing the windows keys, given that you already have code keys!
Because it's been around a year since I've examined the caps in this set, yours and a few comments got me thinking. Code will be coming out for super, but I don't want to lose the Windows icon key because I do like how they look, and I tend to use them more than any alternative. Giving the super key as a platform agnostic alternative.
HOWEVER, I do have some thoughts around saving cost. I really like what Zambumon is doing with Jamón with the idea of a core kit and various addons so that people only buy what they need.
Putting together the updated kits as I type this.
Potential layout and kit update.
Yes, this is a better approach because I hate paying for keys I don't use.
After constantly thinking I have too many keys I don't use in GMK sets and seeing how Zambumon broke out Jamón as well as the typical SA kit buying model, I want to introduce the idea of a more modular version of this set.
Let me know your thoughts on this concept because I'm actually pretty excited about this. I have also trimmed out some keys that were included in the overall set as well because I think I was trying a bit too hard to get every layout anyone requested last time I was working on this actively.
Bottom line is this updated kit should cover MOST boards without blowing out cost. If there are any glaring omissions in the set, please let me know. Otherwise, this is the final version of what I'll look to include in the overall set.
The dot 5 on the numpad is switched to a bar.
Code keys are gone. I'm now using Super.
Added an option for an all orange or all purple F row via the alternates kit.
Scrapping the idea for novelties because of the expanded alternates kit and because it'll add a cost I'm not really wanting to add as well as the complexity of designing it.
Getting feedback on the Geekhack thread that is along the lines of what I was thinking about splitting kits.
In short: This set is niche, MOQ will he hard to reach on kits.
Point well taken on that, and I will again put all kits into one set, but this did give the added benefit of me revisiting the caps I was including in the set. So, still a good exercise to go through.
TL;DR: Back to one kit with everything included, but with the updates I made to the set.
Based on feedback and above comment. This is the set composed of all kits into one monster kit.
Thanks! Also, hoping to have something cool for all of you in the coming weeks.
I liked the ideal of splitting the kits, although I do get why you're opting back in on a whole set now. This set will be a little niche so it does makes sense to just make it all in one. I think the most recent revision of the set looks pretty good & will cover most boards out there. The only other keys I'd really like to see is an alt. arrow set in the purple on yellow, but that's probably not that feasible with an all one kit like this. Overall though I am still really liking this colorway & would be down for a set!
Definitely wish the split out kit idea would work because that'd let me add more stuff like the arrows you mentioned. I think the hardest part about this has been deciding what absolutely stays and absolutely goes in a single unified kit.
Hoping that the majority of potential group buy members are satisfied with what the kit has.
Thanks for the support, bud!
I have received an updated render from GMK with the final version of the set (minus the tweak for caps lock legends I'll mention in a second).
First, here is the pretty picture.
I will be changing the caps lock legend from the "purse" icon to the text "Caps Lock" based on feedback I received and the general sentiment I've seen in the community at large in other sets. That will be the final change to the set, and I'm locking in the set after that so long as no major compatibility issues are spotted.
I have reached out to GMK with this final change and noted the only thing that may differ in the future is if I decide to do a novelty key for the set. I go back and forth on this idea because I don't want to infringe on any trademarks or copyright laws, and I also would want a novelty to have meaning for the set instead of a "just because" thing that adds cost.
Also, have some other cool visual thing cooking for you all. I'll post when it's available.
Today is the day to share the treat I've been excited about.
Yusss. As an alumnus of a certain university, I gotta say that these colors are on point and this set is an insta-buy.
Ah, nice! That makes you my neighbor to the south.

Live Streaming Solutions for eSports
November 13, 2012 November 9, 2012 by josh.f
This article was originally written by Josh Folland in April 2012.
One of my passions is eSports. As an eSports fanatic, my journey has taken me to the world of commentary . One of the skills that is incredibly useful to have in the world of eSports commentary is a working knowledge of how to run a live stream. This was even more important in 2010 when I began, because the tools were primitive and the ability to use them was a rare commodity.
Originally, the way to do things was to use a combination the free-to-use Flash Media Live Encoder (FMLE) to broadcast the stream, the tools inside VH Multi Camera Studio to efficiently and effectively capture what was on your screen, and finally irfanview to add screen overlays such as sponsor logos. These tools are free to use and at the time, they were good enough. Being able to run a live stream of whatever gaming content you wanted from your own home without the need of a $30,000+ telecaster setup was a very new idea; however it was one that entirely redefined the way the 18-34 male demographic consumes gaming-related media.
This interested several companies. The creators of VH Multi Camera Studio, Split Media Labs set out to take their product one step further and create an easy-to-use, all-in-one solution for live streaming calledXsplit. Xsplit was free during its initial beta stages but has moved on to a subscription model now that they have released version 1.0. XSplit's main competition is Wirecast by Telestream, which comes with a much heftier price tag.
Each one has some pros and cons outside of the price tag. Wirecast's interface is absolutely brilliant: built on layers, you can manipulate each scene with maximum detail on-the-fly as needed. The key point as far as gaming content is concerned is the ability to manipulate the scene off-stream and then apply it once you have prepared everything completely, using either the tools and media that comes pre-canned within the software, or by adding in your own. Wirecast's audio controls are also excellent, allowing you to do a vast amount of mixing via software without the need of an expensive (although most certainly useful) hardware mixer, giving you the ability to change the volumes of each individual element within the stream.
Xsplit's interface is much more primitive to say the least. Xsplit is capable of capturing your default audio output device (as defined by the OS) as well as a microphone. Xsplit also has a maximum of 12 scenes to transition between, each one needing to be set up as much as possible before the production begins as any changes you make will be displayed to the audience as you make them.
The deciding factor here is the encoder that each of these programs is built around. Both programs are capable of H.264 up to 1080p (or even higher) at 60fps in virtually any format you could ever need; however, XSplit's encoder provides a cleaner looking stream at the end of the day and clarity of the content itself is a higher priority than some bells and whistles. Simply put, XSplit is "good enough" – with proper preparation and knowledge of your event and stream beforehand, you can create a very professional broadcast for anyone to consume easily.
