Drawing by Mike Sutton from a still from the 1934 Popeye movie 'A Dream Walking'. Many 1930's and 1940's Popeye movies contained such powerful spinach and iron metaphors
The popular 32 year old myth that a misplaced decimal point in the published results of the iron content of spinach by Professor von Wolff, or else von Bunge, in the 19th century influenced scientists in the 20th century to fail to check the facts and to simply recommend spinach for its over-inflated iron content is finally busted. compendium
Having spent several months of my spare time in 2010 researching turn of the 20th century German biochemistry journals and books on nutrition, I can reveal that several scientists, all working completely independently, came to very similar conclusions. The reason for their exaggerated measurement of the iron content of spinach, and other food, is bad science. They were, amongst several other things, contaminating the spinach in the laboratory with the vessels they used and the charcoal they used to heat it.
The bad science mistake was in fact (contrary to the nonsense contained in the myth) spotted by von Bunge in the 19th century and the fact that such errors occurred was disseminated widely by US Professor Sherman in the early 20th century.
The Spinach, Popeye, Iron, Decimal Error Story (SPIDES) is a myth that was ironically perpetrated by the famous myth busting nutritionist Professor Arnold E. Bender in his inaugural lecture at Queen Elizabeth College, University of London. Arnold E. Bender. Bender first mentioned it in that inaugural lecture in 1972 (Bender 1972) and later in an article in the Spectator (Bender 1977). In the Spectator, Bender started the myth when he claimed that a German textbook on nutrition (Noorden and Salomon 1920; 476) replicated an earlier decimal point data mistake made by generations of textbooks that unquestioningly replicated erroneous data first published in 1870 by the German scientist E. von Wolff:
For a hundred years or more spinach has been (and clearly still is) renowned for its high iron content compared with that of other vegetables, but to the joy of those who dislike the stuff this is quite untrue. In 1870 Dr E. von Wolff published the analyses of a number of foods, including spinach which was shown to be exceptionally rich in iron. The figures were repeated in succeeding generations of textbooks – after all one does not always verify the findings of others – including the 'Handbook of Food Sciences' (Handbuch der Ernahrungslehre) by von Noorden and Saloman[1] 1920.
In 1937 Professor Schupan eventually repeated the analyses of spinach and found that it contained no more iron than did any other leafy vegetable, only one-tenth of the amount previously reported. The fame of spinach appears to have been based on a misplaced decimal point."
Bender's myth was popularized as being true by Professor Terry Hamblin in the British Medical Journal in 1981 - perversely in an upbeat Christmas article entitled "Fake" about fake academic research. Furthermore, Popeye never ate spinach for iron, his creator E. C. Segar made it the source of his superhero's strength due to its vitamin A (beta carotene) content.
Popeye cartoon from 1932.
Here is Hamblin's (1981) new-spin dissemination of Bender's original spinach myth:
"A statue of Popeye in Crystal City, Texas, commemorates the fact that single handedly he raised the consumption of Spinach by 33%. America was "strong to the finish 'cos they ate their spinach" and duly defeated the Hun. Unfortunately the propaganda was fraudulent; German chemists reinvestigating the iron content of Spinach had shown in the 1930s that the original workers had put the decimal point in the wrong place and made a tenfold overestimate of its value. Spinach is no better for you than cabbage, Brussels sprouts, or broccoli. For a better source of iron Popeye would have been better off chewing the cans."
So Hamblin, an orthodox expert, appears to be the first to brace the spinach myth because he did not check the facts behind it. Hamblin has been followed by many orthodox experts all believing the myth to be true and so, with excruciatingly unintended irony, using it as an example of the need to be sceptical of research findings and to check your facts. If ever that old saying "hoisted by your own petard" is very applicable then it is here.
Time Line for Spinach Popeye Iron Decimal Error Myth Busting
Accidental spinach and nutritional iron metaphors were used the Popeye comic strips as well as in the popeye movies
1871 Von Wolff's bad science exaggerated spinach iron content
1892 - Switzerland - the German Von Bunge gets it right
1907 - USA - Sherman explains 19th Century bad science
1920 - Germany - Noorden and Salomon still citing old German bad science
1972 - UK - Bender publishes spinach Popeye iron decimal error myth
1981 - UK - Hamblin braces Bender's myth
2010 - UK Sutton proves Popeye ate spinach for vitamin A and never for iron
2010 - UK Sutton busts spinach iron decimal error myth - Proving that some German chemists had it wrong in the 1920's, whilst the German Von Bunge and American scientists had it right much earlier. later it is possible that Popeye comic strips and movies might have accidentally confused the public about spinach being a good source of iron.
2011 - UK Sutton shows that US spinach production did indeed increase by 33 per cent in 1936

I'm so pleased to have found Verity. She does a fantastic job of handstripping my border terrier Lulu, and making my very hairy, very arthritic collie Haggis look utterly beautiful. Most importantly the dogs love going to Shampooches and I know they get spoiled while they're there. I can't recommend Verity highly enough.

Q: Text Rendering WebGL I am trying to give text labels to different elements in a 2D image. The 2d elements are obtained through projection from 3d. I have certain element ids that I want to include as text labels. I have been trying this for 2 days with no luck. I dont know what is going wrong. Here is the function that does the rendering:
function drawOverlayTriangles()
{
    if (overlay.numElements <= 0)
    return;

    gl.enableVertexAttribArray(shaderProgram.aVertexPosition);
    gl.enableVertexAttribArray(shaderProgram.aVertexColor);

    // Turn off textures
    //gl.vertexAttrib1f(shaderProgram.aHasTexture, 0.0);

    // Upload Projection, ModelView matrices
    gl.uniformMatrix4fv(shaderProgram.uMVMatrix, false, pMVMatrix);
    gl.uniformMatrix4fv(shaderProgram.uPMatrix, false, perspM);

    for (var i = 0; i < overlay.numElements; i++) {
        // Upload overlay vertices
        gl.bindBuffer(gl.ARRAY_BUFFER, overlayVertices[i]);
        gl.vertexAttribPointer(shaderProgram.aVertexPosition, 3, gl.FLOAT, false, 0, 0);

        // Upload overlay colors
        gl.bindBuffer(gl.ARRAY_BUFFER, overlayTriangleColors[i]);
        gl.vertexAttribPointer(shaderProgram.aVertexColor, 4, gl.FLOAT, false, 0, 0);

        var canvas = document.createElement("canvas");
        canvas.setAttribute("id","canvas");
        canvas.width="512";
        canvas.height="512";
        document.body.appendChild(canvas);

        var ctx = canvas.getContext('2d');
        var text = "element";//overlay.elementIDs[i];

        ctx.beginPath();
        ctx.clearRect(0,0,300,300);
        ctx.fillStyle = 'white';
        ctx.fillRect(0,0,300,300);

        ctx.fillStyle = 'rgba(255,0,0,255)';
        ctx.lineWidth = 2.5;
        ctx.strokeStyle = 'black';
        ctx.save();
        ctx.font = 'bold 80px Verdana';

        var leftOffset = ctx.canvas.width/2;
        var rightOffset = ctx.canvas.height/2;
        ctx.strokeText(text,leftOffset,rightOffset);
        ctx.fillText(text,leftOffset,rightOffset);
        ctx.restore();

        var texttexture=gl.createTexture();

        gl.pixelStorei(gl.UNPACK_FLIP_Y_WEBGL, true);
        gl.bindTexture(gl.TEXTURE_2D,texttexture);
        gl.texImage2D(gl.TEXTURE_2D,0,gl.RGBA,gl.RGBA,gl.UNSIGNED_BYTE,canvas);
        gl.texParameteri(gl.TEXTURE_2D, gl.TEXTURE_MAG_FILTER, gl.LINEAR);
        gl.texParameteri(gl.TEXTURE_2D, gl.TEXTURE_MIN_FILTER, gl.LINEAR);
        gl.texParameteri(gl.TEXTURE_2D, gl.TEXTURE_WRAP_S, gl.CLAMP_TO_EDGE);
        gl.texParameteri(gl.TEXTURE_2D, gl.TEXTURE_WRAP_T, gl.CLAMP_TO_EDGE);
        gl.bindTexture(gl.TEXTURE_2D, null);

    // Draw overlay
       gl.drawArrays(gl.TRIANGLES, 0, overlay.elementNumVertices[i]);
       }

  gl.disableVertexAttribArray(shaderProgram.aVertexPosition);
  gl.disableVertexAttribArray(shaderProgram.aVertexColor);
  }

I am a beginner in Webgl and since I only need 2d text labels for 2d projected elements, please tell me if there is a simpler way to do this.
This is the function that calls the rendering function :
function saveModelImage(separateElementImages)
{
var glCanvas = document.getElementById("glCanvas");
glCanvas.width = 2144;
glCanvas.height = 1424;

var fov = deg2rad(60);
if(cameraIndex > -1)
{
    var f = model.cameras[cameraIndex].f;
    glCanvas.width = camImageWidths[cameraIndex];
    glCanvas.height = camImageHeights[cameraIndex];
    console.info("w: " + glCanvas.width + "  h: " + glCanvas.height);
    fov = 2 * Math.atan(0.5 * glCanvas.height / f);
}

gl.viewportWidth = glCanvas.width;
gl.viewportHeight = glCanvas.height;
gl.aspectRatio = gl.viewportWidth / gl.viewportHeight;
gl.viewport(0, 0, gl.viewportWidth, gl.viewportHeight);
gl.viewportCenter = vec3.fromValues(gl.viewportWidth / 2.0, gl.viewportHeight / 2.0);
updateBoundingRect();

mat4.ortho(orthoM, -gl.aspectRatio, gl.aspectRatio, -1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 100.0);
mat4.perspective(perspM, fov, gl.aspectRatio, 0.5, 10000);
// we need to pass in the cameraID to this function
// using camera.ID, we will find the accurate width and height to use for glCanvas.
// then the gl.aspectRatio could be set as above
// and FOV (in rad) = 2 atan(0.5 glCanvas.height / camera.f)

if(separateElementImages == true)
{
    //something
}
else
{
    gl.clear(gl.COLOR_BUFFER_BIT | gl.DEPTH_BUFFER_BIT);
    drawOverlayTriangles();

    var imageUrl = glCanvas.toDataURL('image/jpeg', 1.0);

    var pom = document.createElement('a');
    pom.setAttribute('href', imageUrl);
    pom.setAttribute('download', 'image_C' + cameraIndex + '.jpg');

    document.body.appendChild(pom);

    pom.click();

    document.body.removeChild(pom);
}
}

Any help will be greatly appreciated

A: The simplest way is either draw on a 2d canvas over your webgl canvas or move HTML elements over your webgl canvas.
Drawing on a 2d canvas over a WebGL Canvas

var underCanvas = document.getElementById("under");
var overCanvas = document.getElementById("over");

// get a webgl context for the under canvas.
var gl = underCanvas.getContext("webgl");

// get a webgl context for the over canvas.
var ctx = overCanvas.getContext("2d");

var radius = 70;
var clock;
var x;
var y;

function render() {

  clock = Date.now() * 0.001;

  x = Math.floor(Math.cos(clock) * radius + gl.canvas.width  * 0.5);
  y = Math.floor(Math.sin(clock) * radius + gl.canvas.height * 0.5);

  drawWebGLStuff(gl);
  drawCanvas2DStuff(ctx);

  requestAnimationFrame(render);
}
render();

function drawWebGLStuff(gl) {
  // I'm using the SCISSOR because it's the simplest thing
  gl.disable(gl.SCISSOR_TEST);
  gl.clearColor(0, 0, 0, 0);
  gl.clear(gl.COLOR_BUFFER_BIT);

  gl.scissor(
     Math.max(0, x - 10),
     Math.max(0, y - 10),
     20,
     20);
  gl.enable(gl.SCISSOR_TEST);
  gl.clearColor(0, 1, 0, 1);
  gl.clear(gl.COLOR_BUFFER_BIT);
}

function drawCanvas2DStuff() {
  ctx.clearRect(0, 0, ctx.canvas.width, ctx.canvas.height);
  ctx.textAlign = "center";
  ctx.fillText("Hello World", x, ctx.canvas.height - y);
}
canvas {
  border: 1px solid black;
}
#under {
  position: absolute;
  left: 0px;
  top: 0px;
}
/* put "over" on top of "under" */
#over {
  position: absolute;
  left: 0px;
  top: 0px;
  z-index: 2;
}
<canvas id="under"></canvas>
<canvas id="over"></canvas>

Drawing by moving an HTML element over the canvas

var underCanvas = document.getElementById("under");
var overCanvas = document.getElementById("over");

// get a webgl context for the under canvas.
var gl = underCanvas.getContext("webgl");

// make a div for text
var textDiv = document.createElement("div");
textNode = document.createTextNode("");
textDiv.className = "over";
textDiv.appendChild(textNode);
document.body.appendChild(textDiv);

var radius = 70;
var clock;
var x;
var y;

function render() {

  clock = Date.now() * 0.001;

  x = Math.floor(Math.cos(clock) * radius + gl.canvas.width  * 0.5);
  y = Math.floor(Math.sin(clock) * radius + gl.canvas.height * 0.5);

  drawWebGLStuff(gl);
  moveTextDiv();

  requestAnimationFrame(render);
}
render();

function drawWebGLStuff(gl) {
  // I'm using the SCISSOR because it's the simplest thing
  gl.disable(gl.SCISSOR_TEST);
  gl.clearColor(0, 0, 0, 0);
  gl.clear(gl.COLOR_BUFFER_BIT);

  gl.scissor(
     Math.max(0, x - 10),
     Math.max(0, y - 10),
     20,
     20);
  gl.enable(gl.SCISSOR_TEST);
  gl.clearColor(0, 1, 0, 1);
  gl.clear(gl.COLOR_BUFFER_BIT);
}

function moveTextDiv() {
  textDiv.style.left = x + "px";
  textDiv.style.top  = (gl.canvas.height - y) + "px";
  textNode.nodeValue = clock.toFixed(2);
}
html, body {
  overflow: none;
  position: absolute;
}
canvas {
  border: 1px solid black;
}
#under {
  position: absolute;
  left: 0px;
  top: 0px;
}

Goes Gospel
Sheffield Community Choir
The Choir (SCC) was formed by Janine Dyer the choirs director in 2013. Janine is a gospel singer who discovered her gift at an early age and gain experience through singing in her pentecostal church. Janine has a strong passion to sing and share the joy gospel music brings with people all over the world.
Janine has lived in South Yorkshire for the past 15 years after moving to the region from London. She really missed singing on choirs in London and wanted somehow to bring and share her musical abilities within her new community. Through research she identified that there wasn't a gospel style choir in the South Yorkshire Community, feedback showed that it was something people wanted in the area, hence her decision (with encouragement and support from family and friends) to start SCC. Christ Church Pitsmoor kindly offered to provide us with a place to rehearse and the rest is history...
SCC is open to all people of all races and backgrounds, with or without musical/singing experience. As the years have gone by the choir has worked together and have grown from strength to strength. The choir is a great social outlet were members have forge new strong friendships. At SCC we are a fun loving bunch of people who love to sing, in fact we have become a tight family unit.
We have sung at many events in and around Sheffield and surrounding areas. Gospel music is a very important part of our repertoire we are proud to sing the message of God's love and peace to people, especially in such dark uncertain times. It's good to have a positive message, most music these days does the opposite. People often comment on "how uplifted and blessed they feel after hearing us sing".

Most homeowners are unfamiliar with cockroach, mice, bedbug, and ant infestation. These pests can be detrimental to one's physical and mental health, which you may not even know until it is too late. In order to prevent the pests from taking over your entire living environment, you will need to take the necessary steps to combat the problem. Below you will discover the benefits of going the DIY route and hiring an exterminator in Houston, Texas.
Of course, it is almost always cheaper to tackle a pest problem by yourself, than hiring a professional extermination company. The rates will vary from company to company, which means that you may end up spending more, just because you hired a particular company that was not booked up. Many of the fraudsters will lurk around the corner, so they can take advantage of individuals like you.
Another great benefit of taking the DIY is that you will never have to worry about you or your family's safety. Many extermination companies will not take the time to complete a comprehensive criminal background check on their employees. You can never be sure that the exterminator does not have a history of breaking into residential and commercial establishments.
In this situation, you may feel that you can trust no one, but you and this actually be the case.
One downside of taking the DIY route is it can be very time consuming. If you do not have the extra time to spare, then you will be better off to hire an extermination company. The extermination crew will arrive at your home at the designated hour, complete the treatment process, clean up their mess, and exit before you know it. This can actually save your many hours or even days that can be used for more enjoyable adventures.
This is probably your first time dealing with a pest infestation. Your experience will be virtually nonexistent and you may not even know anything about the pest that you are dealing with. Well, an experienced exterminator will know exactly how to approach and treat your infestation. This will definitely beat trying to guess what the next is supposed to be, which could lead you going around in circles.
If you are dealing with a fly or mosquito infestation, then you already know how intrusive the pests can genuinely be. You should start by hanging up fly and mosquito traps, but this will only be effective, if you take more drastic measures to eradicate the pests. Traps work will in preventing infestations, but they will only touch a full-blown infestation.
The traps can be very messy to remove and dispose of, so be sure to keep this in mind, when choosing whether or not to utilize them.
There are benefits of taking the DIY route and hiring a professional exterminator in Houston. You will need to take the time to weigh the pros and cons, before you actually make your final selection. If you find yourself not having any knowledge on the pests, treatment options, and pesticides, you will be better off hiring a professional.

Jeremiah /
1 The word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord in the tenth year of King Zedekiah of Judah, which was the eighteenth year of Nebuchadrezzar.
2 At that time the army of the king of Babylon was besieging Jerusalem, and the prophet Jeremiah was confined in the court of the guard that was in the palace of the king of Judah,
3 where King Zedekiah of Judah had confined him. Zedekiah had said, "Why do you prophesy and say: Thus says the Lord: I am going to give this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall take it;
4 King Zedekiah of Judah shall not escape out of the hands of the Chaldeans, but shall surely be given into the hands of the king of Babylon, and shall speak with him face to face and see him eye to eye;
5 and he shall take Zedekiah to Babylon, and there he shall remain until I attend to him, says the Lord; though you fight against the Chaldeans, you shall not succeed?"
6 Jeremiah said, The word of the Lord came to me:
7 Hanamel son of your uncle Shallum is going to come to you and say, "Buy my field that is at Anathoth, for the right of redemption by purchase is yours."
8 Then my cousin Hanamel came to me in the court of the guard, in accordance with the word of the Lord, and said to me, "Buy my field that is at Anathoth in the land of Benjamin, for the right of possession and redemption is yours; buy it for yourself." Then I knew that this was the word of the Lord.
9 And I bought the field at Anathoth from my cousin Hanamel, and weighed out the money to him, seventeen shekels of silver.
10 I signed the deed, sealed it, got witnesses, and weighed the money on scales.
11 Then I took the sealed deed of purchase, containing the terms and conditions, and the open copy;
12 and I gave the deed of purchase to Baruch son of Neriah son of Mahseiah, in the presence of my cousin Hanamel, in the presence of the witnesses who signed the deed of purchase, and in the presence of all the Judeans who were sitting in the court of the guard.
13 In their presence I charged Baruch, saying,
14 Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: Take these deeds, both this sealed deed of purchase and this open deed, and put them in an earthenware jar, in order that they may last for a long time.
15 For thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: Houses and fields and vineyards shall again be bought in this land.
16 After I had given the deed of purchase to Baruch son of Neriah, I prayed to the Lord, saying:
17 Ah Lord God! It is you who made the heavens and the earth by your great power and by your outstretched arm! Nothing is too hard for you.
18 You show steadfast love to the thousandth generation, but repay the guilt of parents into the laps of their children after them, O great and mighty God whose name is the Lord of hosts,
19 great in counsel and mighty in deed; whose eyes are open to all the ways of mortals, rewarding all according to their ways and according to the fruit of their doings.
20 You showed signs and wonders in the land of Egypt, and to this day in Israel and among all humankind, and have made yourself a name that continues to this very day.
21 You brought your people Israel out of the land of Egypt with signs and wonders, with a strong hand and outstretched arm, and with great terror;
22 and you gave them this land, which you swore to their ancestors to give them, a land flowing with milk and honey;
23 and they entered and took possession of it. But they did not obey your voice or follow your law; of all you commanded them to do, they did nothing. Therefore you have made all these disasters come upon them.
24 See, the siege ramps have been cast up against the city to take it, and the city, faced with sword, famine, and pestilence, has been given into the hands of the Chaldeans who are fighting against it. What you spoke has happened, as you yourself can see.
25 Yet you, O Lord God, have said to me, "Buy the field for money and get witnesses"—though the city has been given into the hands of the Chaldeans.
26 The word of the Lord came to Jeremiah:
27 See, I am the Lord, the God of all flesh; is anything too hard for me?
28 Therefore, thus says the Lord: I am going to give this city into the hands of the Chaldeans and into the hand of King Nebuchadrezzar of Babylon, and he shall take it.
29 The Chaldeans who are fighting against this city shall come, set it on fire, and burn it, with the houses on whose roofs offerings have been made to Baal and libations have been poured out to other gods, to provoke me to anger.
30 For the people of Israel and the people of Judah have done nothing but evil in my sight from their youth; the people of Israel have done nothing but provoke me to anger by the work of their hands, says the Lord.
31 This city has aroused my anger and wrath, from the day it was built until this day, so that I will remove it from my sight
32 because of all the evil of the people of Israel and the people of Judah that they did to provoke me to anger—they, their kings and their officials, their priests and their prophets, the citizens of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
33 They have turned their backs to me, not their faces; though I have taught them persistently, they would not listen and accept correction.
34 They set up their abominations in the house that bears my name, and defiled it.
35 They built the high places of Baal in the valley of the son of Hinnom, to offer up their sons and daughters to Molech, though I did not command them, nor did it enter my mind that they should do this abomination, causing Judah to sin.
36 Now therefore thus says the Lord, the God of Israel, concerning this city of which you say, "It is being given into the hand of the king of Babylon by the sword, by famine, and by pestilence":
37 See, I am going to gather them from all the lands to which I drove them in my anger and my wrath and in great indignation; I will bring them back to this place, and I will settle them in safety.
38 They shall be my people, and I will be their God.
39 I will give them one heart and one way, that they may fear me for all time, for their own good and the good of their children after them.
40 I will make an everlasting covenant with them, never to draw back from doing good to them; and I will put the fear of me in their hearts, so that they may not turn from me.
41 I will rejoice in doing good to them, and I will plant them in this land in faithfulness, with all my heart and all my soul.
42 For thus says the Lord: Just as I have brought all this great disaster upon this people, so I will bring upon them all the good fortune that I now promise them.
43 Fields shall be bought in this land of which you are saying, It is a desolation, without human beings or animals; it has been given into the hands of the Chaldeans.
44 Fields shall be bought for money, and deeds shall be signed and sealed and witnessed, in the land of Benjamin, in the places around Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah, of the hill country, of the Shephelah, and of the Negeb; for I will restore their fortunes, says the Lord.

Grand Ayatollah Sheikh Muhammad-Husayn Kashif al-Ghita' (b. Najaf, 1877; d. Karand, 1954)) was a Shiite jurist, philosopher, author, teacher, and lecturer. He was considered to be one of the highest ranking scholars in Iraq, yet less popular. He worked for the welfare of the Shia community in Iraq and for Sunni-Shia rapprochement and solidarity.

Early life and education

Kashif al-Ghita' was born to Sheikh Ali Kashif al-Ghita' in Najaf in 1877. He hails from a long line of illustrious Shia jurists.

He studied in the Islamic seminaries of Najaf, under grand scholars such as Mirza Husayn Nuri, Mulla Reza Hamadani (d. 1904), Mirza Ḥusayn Ḵalili (d. 1908), Sheikh Mohammad-Kazem Khorasani, and Sayyid Mohammed Kazem Yazdi.

Works
Kashif al-Ghita' wrote nearly 80 books on religious sciences such as jurisprudence, authority and hadith. Some of them include:
 Daʿwat al-Eslāmiya elā maḏhab al-Emāmiya [An Islamic invitation to the Imami School]. 4 volumes.
 Tawżiḥ fi bayān mā howa al-Enjil wa mā howa al-Masiḥ [A clarification on what the Bible is, and who Jesus was]
 Aṣl al-Šiʿa wa oṣulohā [The origin of Shiʿite Islam and its principles]. This book was translated to Persian by Sheikh Naser Makarem Shirazi, titled, This is our school.
 al-Āyāt al-bayyenāt [Clear signs].
 al-Moṯol al-ʿolyā fi'l-Eslām, lā fi Beḥamdun [The supreme ideals are to be found in Islam, not at Bhamdun].
 Al Ardh wa al-Torbah Al Husayniyyah [The ground and dust of Imam Husayn].

Death
Kashif al-Ghita' died in Kerend on July 19, 1954. He was buried in the Wadi-us-Salaam cemetery in Najaf.

#VEGASNYE: Ringing in the New Year on the same stage where Elvis performed
by: Yan Kaner
LAS VEGAS (KLAS)– For more than 50 years, the stage in what's now called the Westgate has played home to rock stars, but none more famous than The King himself, Elvis Presley.
First known as the International Hotel, it opened in 1969 and was the largest hotel in the world.
Barbra Streisand was the opening-night performer, and right after her run ended Elvis Presley performed and broke all kinds of attendance records.
Elvis would go on to perform a total of 636 shows at the hotel from 1969 to 1976, with every show sold out.
Since Elvis, other iconic Las Vegas acts have taken the stage, from Barbara Streisand to Liberace, Wayne Newton, The Commodores, Engelbert Humperdink, and currently Barry Manilow.


A tornado hit Branson just after midnight and damaged or destroyed much of the theater district.
Wow! Isn't it a little early in the season to have tornadoes?
A little unusual, but not unheard of.
Terrible, I was just there over Veteran's day.
120 tornados so far this year. Usually about 60 by now.
Sam , how far are you from Branson?
About 100 miles. The tornados went thru just south of here.
I was just placed on alert with the American Red Cross, but there has not been a national activation as of tonight.
Back in "95 a tornado went thru so close, it took out a tree in my back yard.

AG Rosenblum and Public Utility Commission Partner to Protect Low Income Oregonians
• Posted in Consumer Protection, Media Release
Oregon Attorney General Ellen Rosenblum and the Oregon Public Utility Commission (PUC) today announced a $1.6 million dollar False Claims Act settlement with a Sprint (now T-Mobile) subsidiary called Assurance Wireless, for overcharging the Oregon Lifeline program. This program, managed by the PUC, provides discounted voice and broadband service to qualifying low-income Oregonians paid for with federal and state subsidies.
In 2019, PUC staff launched an investigation of Sprint's billing practices and discovered it had been systematically overcharging the Oregon Lifeline program for ineligible usage. PUC's discovery eventually led to a nationwide investigation where the FCC recovered approximately $368 million for the federal Lifeline subsidy and issued a $200 million penalty. After securing an Oregon refund of $788,061 in December 2020, the PUC assisted Oregon DOJ's civil enforcement team in securing an additional settlement payment of $859,451 under the Oregon False Claims Act, for a grand total of $1,647,512 returned back to the state.
"Sprint significantly overcharged Oregon's program—as it did elsewhere across the country," said Attorney General Rosenblum. "Luckily, we caught on and made them pay. Especially when it comes to services for people with low incomes, big companies like Sprint have a duty to act responsibly. I want to thank everyone at Oregon's Department of Justice and the PUC who worked on this settlement. Together we are sending a strong signal: We will not tolerate waste and abuse of critical state subsidies."
"Oregon Lifeline provides an invaluable service to low-income Oregonians by helping them stay connected and have access to local emergency services, jobs, healthcare, education, and other vital resources," said PUC Chair Megan Decker. "The efforts of our team helped ensure the integrity of the Lifeline program not only for customers in Oregon, but across the country as well. Without these efforts, this issue may have gone undetected indefinitely."

Biography – WHITE, SOLOMON – Volume XIV (1911-1920) – Dictionary of Canadian Biography
WHITE, SOLOMON, lawyer, farmer, businessman, and politician; b. 8 Oct. 1836 on the Huron Reserve, near Amherstburg, Upper Canada, son of Joseph White, a Wyandot chief, and Angélique Fortier; m. first January 1867 Mary L. Drew (d. 1896) of Detroit; m. secondly 25 Sept. 1898 Elizabeth Whitmore of Detroit; he had no issue; d. 11 Nov. 1911 in Cobalt, Ont.
Educated in the schools of Essex County and fluent in both French and English, Solomon White was called to the bar in 1865. He entered practice with fellow Catholic John O'Connor* in Windsor. In 1868 he relocated in Cooksville (Mississauga), where he operated a prosperous grape and wine business. While there he ran unsuccessfully as a Conservative in a provincial by-election in 1873. Three years later he returned to Windsor. Resuming law, he also operated a farm near the city, raising grapes, cattle, and trotting horses. He became president of the North Essex Agricultural Society, the Windsor Land and Improvement Company, and the Windsor Driving Park Association, which sponsored professional horse-races.
In 1878 White was elected to the Ontario legislature for Essex North. He would hold this seat until 1886 and from 1890 to 1894. His criticisms of Oliver Mowat*'s Liberal government were applauded by the majority of Tories, but other positions adopted by White isolated him within his party. Most Conservatives were demanding that English should become the language of instruction in Ontario's French schools, but White, loyal to his mother's ancestry and his many French-speaking constituents, resisted the trend in 1891. Even more dramatic was his support that year for annexation to the United States. He believed that Canada's material prosperity and need to move beyond colonial status necessitated union. Conservative leader William Ralph Meredith* repudiated White's stance in February 1892 and the Liberals eagerly exploited the rift.
White went his own way too on native issues. In 1877, under the terms of the Indian Act of the previous year, Solomon and his father had been able to obtain enfranchisement by negotiating an exchange of rights on the Huron Reserve, whose lands were held in common by band members, for individual land grants. White acquired 167 acres, and his wife 50 acres, in this transaction, and they thus participated in the assimilation of the Wyandots on the reserve. But, as the first aboriginal legislator in Ontario, he virtually stood alone in contending for native rights. In 1884 he attacked the Liberals' denial of the provincial franchise to some Indians; two years later he defended native land claims in Ontario and, contrary to public sentiment, called for clemency for those aborigines imprisoned as a result of native resistance during the North-West uprising [see Mistahimaskwa*]. This unpopular proposal led to White's defeat in 1886.
When he returned to the legislature in 1890, after a short time as mayor of Windsor, he again assailed the Mowat administration for interfering with native lands, which, he claimed in 1891, were solely "a matter between the Indians and the Dominion." Such controversial stands helped produce White's final defeat, in 1894.
In 1905 White relocated in Cobalt, a burgeoning silver-mining centre in northern Ontario. Aided by his bilingualism, he developed a thriving legal practice there and acquired mining interests and a number of stores and houses, though he kept his home and commercial property in Windsor. In 1908 he was awarded a kc. Defeated in the contest for mayor of Cobalt in 1907, he was elected in 1911 but died later that year. His remains were returned to Essex for burial in Anderdon Township.
A minor political figure, Solomon White attained significance as a Tory maverick and as the first legislator in Ontario to voice native concerns and attitudes.

Q: How to get inline-blocks to sit side-by-side? code pen

}

#b {

How do I get #b to sit to the right of #a? I don't want the text to wrap below #a which is why I'm using an [inline] block-level element. float: left doesn't seem to work either.
I do not want to fix the size of #b.

A: You can can apply display:table-cell to the #a and #b and white-space:nowrap to force #a not to wrap inner <input>s in a column but display them in one row.
Example

A: You can set display block in the #b and set a  margin left

This year's Super Bowl LIII American football game to determine the champions of the National Football League (NFL), has been protected by 360 Vision Technology's ruggedised-Hybrid Invictus PTZ camera. The cameras were deployed as part of Security Centres International's high-performance Mobile Advanced Safety Tower (MAST) rapid deployment camera solution.
In all, 10 rapid deployment MAST units were deployed in various areas surrounding the brand new, state-of-the-art Mercedes-Benz Stadium and State Farm Arena in Atlanta Georgia. With over 1 million fans expected to participate in Super Bowl and the 10-day fan festival, the Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority (MARTA), was keen to complement the existing CCTV networks around the grounds and mass transit point footfall areas, such as bus and rail stations.
Stuart Bostock, Executive Group Presidentat Security Centres International explains why the 360 Vision Invictus camera based MAST system was chosen by MARTA: "Featuringworld-class HD surveillance imaging, leading-edge design, robustness, zero infrastructure requirements and seamless Video Management System (VMS) integration, MAST is the only product of its kind that would readily integrate into the existing CCTV infrastructure. Additionally, MAST benefits from a significantly smaller footprint than similar trailer based stand-alone surveillance systems.
"MAST has been developed to answer the need for a more sophisticated and flexible surveillance system for infrastructure and public space safety, including large crowd gatherings, as in this application. MAST is unique, as it combines a rapidly deployable unit with some of the most advanced safety and surveillance technology available – the very reason why we selected 360 Vision Technology's Invictus camera for its core imaging technology."
Mark Rees Managing Director of 360 Vision Technology added: "360 Vision Technology's Invictus is a high-performance, ruggedized all-in-one PTZ camera with full 1080P HD and ultra low-light camera technology – making it the perfect choice for off-grid temporary/rapid deployment mobile surveillance rigs, such as MAST. Additionally, Invictus' low-power consumption greatly assists the longevity of critical battery power when deployed in the field – extending MAST's operational performance for deployment in more remote applications.
"The Invictus camera's unparalleled mix of competitive cost and advanced Predator low-light camera imaging technology makes it the perfect imaging component for the innovative MAST system"
The use of the MAST units integrated to the existing fixed camera points during Super Bowl LIII week proved a huge success with high-definition images transmitted back to the MARTAEmergency Operations Centre via a mobile network. Thanks to the high quality of images received, system operators were able to identify and tackle a number of incidents, including a vehicle theft. Additionally, the images were also used to predict areas of dense footfall, tackle crowd control safety issues, and manage general health and safety concerns.
The deployment of the Invictus based camera system at Super Bowl LIII proved such a success that plans are already in place for deployment at other large-scale US sporting events, including the NCAA Final Four Basketball Championship in 2020 and for city centre deployment across Atlanta.


pretty much implementing the following tasks.
the digital input is converted to analog.
the value obtained last is kept constant.
hertz and at the same idea will apply.
and we will have a timer that will trigger the events.
so that we can start counting again to the next event.
and this will be when tau_h belongs to zero to T_h*.
which I abbreviated as COH.
will have a duration of length T_h*.


The answer to this question is yes, converting a layer to a Smart Object in Adobe Photoshop substantially increases the file size for whatever it is you're working on. A lot goes into making something non-destructive and you certainly pay for it with disk space. So, just how much larger does a file become once it's converted into a Smart Object file? Let's take a look.
According to my calculations in my post about Smart Objects and file size in Photoshop, a RAW file that's around 30 MB can easily grow to 275 MB, simply by converting a photo layer into a Smart Object and then saving that file out as a TIFF. It's pretty much the same if you save it as a PSD, so I won't focus on those two different file types here. The point is, a file can grow by more than a factor of nine by making this one change. That's quite substantial and it's my opinion that editors should keep this in mind when working with Photoshop. Disk space can certainly get used up quickly if you're an avid user.
What's your experience with this topic been? Do you use Smart Objects in Photoshop or do you go about things the old way? Please let me know down below. Thanks!


i want to ask that how do the 3 points ? Thank you.
2) However your camera's documentation says.
3) by motion detection/subtraction of 2 colors, just like you said.
The manual is your friend. Read it.
i mean how to write the basic Algorithims for this three points. Thank you.
How to write the basic algorithims for, comparing a image with a reference image by motion detection/subtraction of 2 colors.
You open a new project/solution/whatever-you-call-it in your IDE of choice (I generally use Visual Studio 2010), add references to any AForge dlls you need (I'd start with AForge.dll, AForge.Math.dll, and AForge.Imaging.dll.), and start banging on your keyboard until something that approximates your desired result appears.
Then debug and modify until it actually is your desired result.
If you want a better answer, please tell us your problem, not your desire. For an explanation of the difference between these, see this essay. Applying the concepts listed over here would also be wise.
Note that MJD and ESR have very different opinions on the use of not-English. I fall into the "busy hackers" category of recipients of messages in not-English.

Union general George A. Custer poses for this glass-plate image taken by an unknown photographer in 1865. Custer's name is etched into the emulsion at the top of the negative and appears in reverse. Though he graduated last in his class at West Point in 1861, Custer became a brigadier general at age twenty-three, the youngest Union general at that time. Custer was twenty-five when this portrait was made.
Though he fought effectively in the Civil War, he had less success during the western Indian wars that followed. He is renowned for his greatest failure: the Battle of the Little Bighorn on June 25–26, 1876, during which he and all of the men in his battalion were killed. Custer was thirty-six years old when he died.

Indian police charge jeweller over bank fraud
Indian investigators filed the first charges Monday in a huge fraud case involving billionaire jeweller Nirav Modi and the state-run Punjab National Bank, officials and reports said.
Nirav Modi- Facebook
A spokesman for the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) confirmed to AFP that a charge sheet had been filed in a Mumbai court over the alleged $1.8 billion scam, which has shaken India's corporate world.
Charges were laid against Modi and several senior bank officials over the alleged fraud, according to officials cited by the Press Trust of India (PTI).
The news agency said those charged included Punjab National Bank's former chief Usha Ananthasubramanian, who is now CEO of Allahabad Bank.
The CBI is investigating allegations that Modi and his uncle and business partner Mehul Choksi, a diamond merchant, defrauded Punjab National Bank, India's second-largest state-run bank, of 2.8 billion rupees ($43.8 million).
This figure is said to be just a part of the total losses.
The Punjab National Bank (PNB) said in February that Modi and Choksi had defrauded it by raising credit with international branches of other Indian banks, using illegal guarantees provided by rogue PNB employees.
The federal investigation agency has arrested 19 people for enabling the defrauding of the bank with forged documents. Modi and Choksi are still on the run and believed to be abroad.
Modi, the third generation of his family to go into the diamond trade, is worth $1.73 billion according to Forbes, placing him 85th on India's rich list.
The 47-year-old's high-end eponymous Nirav Modi brand has stores in several of the world's major cities.
India's government is trying to reduce the crippling debts of the country's embattled state banks, including the Punjab National Bank.
It recently announced a $32-billion recapitalisation plan to help them clean up their books ahead of the general election in 2019.Mumbai, May 14, 2018 (AFP)

Amerimold: Moldmaking's Biggest Show Captures Current Metalworking Technology
Many of the emerging developments and key trends in metalworking technology were represented at this show, making it a revealing cross-section of current advances.
Amerimold ran June 14-15 at the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center in Rosemont, Illinois.
The Takumi H10 was one of several machine tools on display. This double-column VMC has a special appeal for mold manufacturers, the company says, because it has the spindle speed (15,000 rpm), rigidity and precision for accurate production of complex mold geometry with fine surface finishes. Travels measure roughly 40" × 28" × 20" in the X, Y and Z axes. The H12 and H16 are larger brothers to this model. All are 40-taper machines. The builder also promotes these machines for other applications in high-speed machining such as aerospace components.
Promac is an Italian machine tool builder offering large gantry machines with fixed and moving tables. These machines are used for producing large automotive molds for complete bumpers, as well as other large car parts for which molding processes provide significant weight reduction and styling options over other production methods. This scale model shows the size and configuration of the Sharov GVT for three-, four- and five-axis machining with an HSK A63 or HSK A100 spindle.
Southwestern Industries had one of its ProtoTrak knee mills on display, partly to show off the new KMX CNC unit that is an upgrade for its older CNC units. As the company explains, mold shops, prototype houses and other manufacturers with well-equipped toolrooms tend to hang onto these machines, even for decades, making support for control units with electronic components no longer available quite a challenge. The new control continues the tradition of supporting the skilled toolroom machinist and mold builder with a control unit for programmable CNC functionality, as well as electronic handwheel/digital readout operation.
The CVe Monitor is essentially a "smart" counter that tracks the number of times an injection mold opens and closes. Each time a simple plunger is depressed, the monitor records the event. Developed by AST Technology, a sister company to Progressive Components, this device does a lot more than count cycles. It automatically calculates cycle time and efficiency while counting down until maintenance is due.
The CVe unit can be cabled to a Press Module that transmits the data wirelessly to the supplier's Gateway, a cloud-based utility for data storage and retrieval. Data can be presented in various reports and dashboard displays driven by CVe OnDemand monitoring software.
RobbJack's FM series of carbide end mills is designed for high metal removal rates in aluminum. The company says the design of the flutes induces a vibration into the workpiece to counter the tendency of the workpiece to vibrate at a different frequency. By "syncing" these vibrations, the tool cuts cleanly with no chatter, regardless of the spindle speed. The tool is always in a "sweet spot" to optimize metal removal. The company says this tool is capable of making very-thin-walled parts with a fine surface finish, as well as hogging out material from workpieces with numerous adjacent pockets.
For roughing steel, Data Flute has introduced the FeRx, a variable indexed rougher. The serrated edges on the flutes help form and break chips to keep the tool free-cutting. The coating on the carbide tool is extremely hard and is specifically designed for aggressive chip loads in steel, the company says. Exceptionally good wear resistance is also attributed to this coating.
Advanced Micron Tool (AMT) is offering long-reach end mills with diameters as small as 0.005 inch. The tools feature the company's multi-layer Nitro3 diamond (CVD) coating for wear resistance, especially in machining of graphite electrodes for EDM. Once a regional supplier of specialized cutting tools, the company is now marketing its products nationwide.
Because molds often involve complex surfaces only machinable on multi-axis machines, measuring and checking those surfaces calls for non-contact 3D scanning systems. The Zeiss Comet LED2 system projects a pattern of blue light across the surface as the part rotates on a turntable. Every projection is captured and digitized by a camera on the other side of the projector unit. The digital images are combined to form an STL-formatted model that can be compared to a nominal CAD model to quickly identify discrepancies between the two.
Faro's Cobalt Array Imager projects a pattern on an object in multiple views to create a point cloud for dimensional inspection and reverse engineering in 3D. One advantage of 3D image scanners is the quick set up—the object to be scanned can be placed anywhere on the turntable without fixturing or positioning.
Stratasys, an additive manufacturing supplier, recommends its PolyJet technology to produce injection molded prototypes for testing and design validation. This technology creates smooth, detailed and accurate molds strong enough to hold up to short runs of about 10 to 100 parts. PolyJet 3D Printing works similarly to inkjet printing, but instead of jetting drops of ink onto paper, the system jets layers of curable liquid photopolymer onto a build tray.
Marposs Artis showed how a software solution for in-process tool condition monitoring works without any sensors or additional hardware installed on a machining center. The software captures multiple axis-motor driver signals to determine normal cutting forces such as torque. As these forces change, the software routines automatically recognize the underlying condition as tool wear, tool failure or a missing tool.

Video: The Importance of Reshoring Mold and Die Manufacturing
Although the Amerimold event is primarily targeted to manufacturing companies involved in plastic injection molds, anyone interested in the advanced technology that is critical to mold machining could find useful, valuable information there. In fact, I went looking for product news and application insights that would be of interest to the metalworking industry at large. There was plenty to see. Almost all of the emerging developments and key trends in metalworking technology were represented at this show, as the highlights of my discoveries illustrate.
MTConnect Is For Real
Introduced at IMTS 2008, this communications protocol for CNC machines and other manufacturing equipment is already helping shops and plants implement effective machine monitoring systems. Although these "early adopters" are motivated by the long-term promise of enterprise-wide efficiency gains, their experience with pilot projects shows that benefits derived in the short term are substantial and worthwhile.
The Need to Know Is Basic
An MTConnect-enabled monitoring system gives this shop a clear and simple picture of machine tool usage.
Machining, Disruption and the Years Ahead
Three major technological advancements have changed modern manufacturing. Pay attention or get left behind.


From street level "The Blue City" may seem like a misnomer, but once you get up to the hill where Mehrangarh Fort is, suddenly it all makes sense. There isn't a whole lot to do in Jodhpur, but I think you'd agree from below that there are at least a few things worth seeing.
1. Clock Tower/Sardar Market. There's a place called Mishrilal Hotel that serves THE BEST lassis.
3. The Blue City from above.
4. Jaswant Thada, a mausoleum not far from the fort.
5. Autorickshaws. A stand near the guest house.


A Chicago man was charged with possession of a stolen vehicle after he was found in a car that had been reported stolen from a Hinsdale driveway on Feb. 22, Hinsdale police said.
DuPage County Judge Robert Miller on Thursday morning set bond at $30,000 for Yarmel D. Williams, 26, of the 7500 block of South Morgan. Williams next court date is May 2.
Williams was arrested April 4 when he was seen getting into a Ford Mustang in a business parking lot on 79th Street near Madison Street in Burr Ridge, police said. The 2017 Mustang was one of two cars that were reported stolen from the same home on the 5600 block of Childs Avenue early in the morning Feb. 22.
The Ford Mustang and a gray 2014 Mercedes Benz S550 had been parked unlocked with the keys inside the vehicles.
A remote garage door opener in the Mustang was apparently used it to open the garage door where the Merecedes Benz was parked, police said. Both cars were stolen about 4 a.m.
"This arrest represents a pattern of thefts and burglaries that occur during the overnight hours involving unlocked cars where key fobs have been left in the vehicle," Hinsdale Police Chief Brian King said.
An investigation into the theft of the other vehicle continues. Police ask anyone with information about the case to call 630-789-7070.


Easter Sunday did me in. I rolled away from the dinner table so full of ham that I could hardly breathe. The irony of eating pork during a holiday that shares time with the Jewish Passover was not lost on me, but alas. I was so sated on honey-glazed ham and gruyere-soaked scalloped potatoes that I wasn't able to hold open my eyes long enough to clack out a few sentences on an MLS weekend that, while not wholly satisfying, was enough to keep us talking.
So our Monday Morning Striker turns into a Tuesday Morning Reserve. Alls well that ends with Thierry Henry netting another brace, yeah? Let's get through the big ones.
It's easy to wonder why, all of teams, a heralded but not supremely so KC side is the first since the inaugural year of the league in '96 to achieve a 5-0-0 start to the league. Seems highly improbable after the way they started last year, for sure. But then again, the StrongBox is in play this time.
But here we have the crux of it: KC is turning opposing possessions into short-lived affairs. They thrive flocking in numbers to the ball, and they thrive even more in cracking open defenses on the counter. There is some discussion budding along the blogosphere as to whether KC's effort represents MLS' first real attempt at Total Football. My thoughts? Not in so many words, and I am nearly certain that anything that looks similar to the Dutch experiment is coincidental. It is naturally hard to replicate that which was designed to defy duplication. At times, Graham Zusi will drift into positions that may define him traditionally as a fullback. It may be equally true that, simultaneously, Chance Myers will drive forward in his place. But this is not the stated aim of the formation, and it is not always entirely beneficial. Indeed, watching KC piledrive LA over the weekend, I was struck by how much better they look when they don't rotate positions, electing to overlap occasionally but deciding to stick a signpost at their stated position and make things happen there. There is no Cruyff on this team, and without insulting Peter Vermes, Rinus Michels he is not. And the theory itself is holistic. You are either playing Total Football, "total" being a stubbornly obstinate word here, or you are not. If you pick and choose from its principles, you are merely playing out of orbit.
Where I think people will get off is when Kamara, Sapong and whoever else pushes up to overlap and create space through confusion. This is not Total Football in so many words, but rather intelligent design. Anybody want to see what Kamara looks like at defensive mid? Me neither. At 5-0-0, I'm sure Vermes is fine without knowing the answer either. Plus, the way he destroyed LA's pathetic trap on the game-winner over the weekend was a thing to see.
And there is no debate. None whatsoever. But what ever has gotten into Kenny Cooper? I'm sure Portland fans will scoff at this initially, but after giving it some serious thought: right now, as they are, would you take back the Boyd deal if it meant you got Cooper back? If you're an honest Portland fan, you'll give that more thought than you really want to.
Oh right, and Henry is a sick madman with designs on ruling this country. Watch out.
For whatever reason, this was a watery weekend for goals. No real bangers in the mix. Wondo's second goal against Vancouver, which set the scoreline at 3-1 and kept San Jose toward the top of the West, was an appropriate microcosm. And am I the only one who hates watching games at Buck Shaw? I know where I can find a high school stadium if I want it. I'd like to watch an MLS game in a real stadium.
Who the heck are these Chivas dudes?
So Chivas USA is 0-3-0 at the HDC and yet has carried home wins from Rio Tinto and Jeld-Wen. With respect to Seattle, those are the two places I'd least like to travel to if I'm a player. What gives? I spent far too long looking at stats and chalkboards and message boards and there is almost no correlation that makes sense. They were owned in most statistical categories away, and things were split more evenly at home. Make sense to you? Me neither. They had some pleasing passages against Portland, and they pushed into space often enough that the chances were sure to follow, but was anybody expecting them to equalize, let alone go ahead, after Boyd put them up? I did not.
My explanation? It's a crazy game we follow. That's as scientific as I can get here.
Montreal certainly won't. Neither will Andrew Wenger (I still like Mattocks).
This weekend promises to be a good one. New York-San Jose suddenly makes sense to watch. RSL-KC is a possible MLS Cup precursor. LA-Portland carries some weight after both tripped last week. And for the three of you who care, Toronto and Chivas play! That is happening as well. Try to contain your excitement.
Henry didn't look especially pleased to be scoring those goals. Bored already?
I love Henry's official league photo. It's the perfect mix of smug, douchebaggery and out-and-out Frenchman-ism.
Come July Galaxy will trade Buddle to the Goats for one or both of their central defenders in a final push to make the playoffs. The Goats will take the bait, and fall out of contention while the Galaxy will make the playoffs and another deep run.
@drew_brown: a slightly different trade, and way sooner. Paolo Cardozo just traded for David Júnior Lopes.
And panic sets in at the HDC.

A hip fracture is a break in the proximal part of the femur (thigh) bone. The type of surgery used to treat a hip fracture is primarily based on the bones and soft tissues affected or on the level of the fracture. The "hip" is a ball-and-socket joint. It allows the lower limb to bend and rotate at the pel-vis.
Hip fractures most commonly occur from a fall or from a direct blow to the side of the hip. Medical conditions such as osteoporosis, cancer, or stress injuries can weaken the bone and make the hip more susceptible to breaking. The patient with a hip fracture will have pain over the outer upper thigh or in the groin. There will be significant discomfort with any attempt to move the hip. If the bone has been weakened by disease (such as a stress injury or cancer), the patient may notice aching in the groin or thigh area for a period of time before the break. If the bone is completely broken, the leg may appear to be shorter than the non-injured leg. The patient will often hold the injured leg in a still position with the foot and knee turned outward.
The diagnosis of a hip fracture is generally made by an X-ray of the pelvis and the affected hip and femur. Hip fractures occur at the upper end of the thigh bone (femur). In some cases, if the pa-tient falls and complains of hip pain, an incomplete fracture may not be seen on a regular X-ray. In that case, magnetic resonance imaging MRI or CT scan may be recommended. An MRI may identi-fy a hip fracture otherwise missed on plain X-ray. If the patient is unable to hae an MRI scan be-cause of an associated medical condition, computed tomography (CT) may be obtained instead.
These fractures occur between the neck and the head of the femur, and are generally within the cap-sule and may have loss of blood supply to the bone. The capsule is the soft-tissue envelope that con-tains the lubricating and nourishing fluid of the hip joint itself along with the vessels that supply the femoral head. These fractures in a young patient are generally addressed on a urgent basis.
Once the diagnosis of the hip fracture has been made, the patient's overall health and medical condi-tion will be evaluated. In very rare cases, the patient may be so ill that surgery would not be recom-mended. Most surgeons agree that patients do better if they are operated on fairly quickly. It is, however, important to insure patients' safety and maximise their overall medical health before sur-gery. This may involve a thorough cardiopulmonary work up along with routine blood investigations and hepatic and renal function assessment of the patient. Patients may be given interim pain relief in the form of anaesthetic injection into the fracture or nerve blockage around the fracture site to keep them comfortable.
Patients who might be considered for nonsurgical treatment include those who are too ill to undergo any form of anaesthesia and people who were unable to walk before their injury and may have been confined to a bed or a wheelchair. Certain types of fractures may be considered stable enough to be managed with nonsurgical treatment. Because there is some risk that these "stable" fractures may instead prove unstable and displace (change position), the doctor will need to follow with periodic X-rays of the area and may recommend surgery even at a later date. As such surgery that are de-layed for long may need more complicated intervention. If patients are confined to bed rest as part of the management for these fractures, they will need to be closely monitored for complications that can occur from prolonged immobilisation. These include infections, bed sores, pneumonia, the for-mation of blood clots, and nutritional wasting. Because there is a risk that the fractures may move or displace later on, they are often fixed to avoid potential life threatening complications associated with conservative management.
If the head of the femur ("ball") alone is broken, management will be aimed at fixing the cartilage on the ball that has been injured or displaced. Frequently with these injuries, the socket, or acetabu-lum, may also be broken. These injuries may be approached either from either the front or back of the hip. In some cases, both approaches are required in order to clearly see and fix the injured bone. For true intracapsular hip fractures, the surgeon may decide either to fix the fracture with individual screws (percutaneous pinning) or a single larger screw that slides within the barrel of a plate. This compression hip screw will allow the fracture to become more stable by having the broken area im-pact on itself. Occasionally, a secondary screw may be added for stability.
Although the fracture is repaired, the blood supply to the "ball" of the femur is damaged. In the older patient, the chance that the head of the femur is damaged in this way is higher. It is generally felt that for these displaced fractures, patients will do better if some of the components of the hip are replaced. In some cases, this can mean a replacement of the ball, or head of the femur (hemi-arthroplasty). In other cases, this can mean the replacement of both the ball and socket, or head of the femur and acetabulum (total hip replacement). In general, for healthy active person, a total hip replacement will give a long lasting and superior quality of life as compared to hemi-replacement arthroplasty.
Most inter-tronchanteric fractures are managed with either a compression hip screw or an intrame-dullary nail (preferred), which also allows for impaction at the fracture site. The compression hip screw is fixed to the outer side of the bone with bone screws and has a large secondary screw (lag screw) that is placed through the plate into the neck and head of the hip (see compression hip screw figure above). The design of the device allows for impaction and compression at the fracture site. This may increase the stability of the area and promote healing. The intramedullary nail is placed directly into the marrow canal of the bone through an opening made at the top of the greater tro-chanter. A lag screw is then placed through the nail and up into the neck and head of the hip. As with the compression hip screw, sliding of the lag screw and impaction of the fracture take place. The nail is in the hollow cavity of the femur (thighbone) rather than on the side of it (as with a plate). There are no definitive studies to show that one device is superior to another., however re-cent evidence has shown intramedullary device to be a more stable device. The decision as to which to use is based on the surgeon's preference and experience.
At the subtrochanteric level, most fractures are managed with a long intramedullary nail together with a large lag screw or they are managed with screws that capture the neck and head of the femur or the area immediately underneath it. In order to keep the bones from rotating around the nail or from shortening ("telescoping") on the nail, additional screws may be placed at the lower end of the nail in the area of the knee. These are called interlocking screws. In certain cases, the surgeon may choose to use a plate rather than a nail. The plate will have screws that go into the bone from the lateral, or outer, side of the femur. A single large screw goes into the neck and the head of the fe-mur and appears similar to the compression hip screw, but at a different angle. Secondary screws are then placed through the plate into the bone to hold the fracture in place. A locking plate may be used for more difficult to treat fractures.
Patients may be encouraged to get out of bed on the day following surgery with a walker and the assistance of a physical therapist. The amount of weight that is allowed to be placed on the injured leg will be determined by the surgeon and is generally a function of the type of fracture and repair (fixation). The physical therapist will work with the patient to help regain strength and the ability to walk. This process may take up to three months.
Most patients are discharged from the hospital to their home. Pain after an injury or surgery is a nat-ural part of the healing process. Medications are often prescribed for short-term pain relief after sur-gery or an injury. Many types of medicines are available to help manage pain, including opioids, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), and local anaesthetics. Occasionally, a blood transfusion may be required after surgery, but longer term antibiotics are generally not necessary. Most patients will be placed on medicine to thin their blood to reduce the chances of developing blood clots for up to 6 weeks. These medicines may be in the form of pills or injections. Elastic compression stockings or inflatable compression boots may also be used. You will advised to follow up to check the wound, remove sutures and follow the healing process using X-rays. Following hip fracture surgery, most patients will regain much, if not all of the mobility and independence they had before the injury.

It could be after you wake up with your back on the floor and your feet on the couch after a long night of Jameson and the countless drinks your friends handed you. Or maybe you are just in an unpleasant situation. But we have all asked this question.
I am always amazed by the conflicting emotions that I have when listening to a song by Odesza. One is telling me to relax and the other is telling me to dance. If you've never seen these guys live, you will want to add it to your schedule after this.


If you're moving to the Big Island or simply moving from another location on the island to Kailua Kona, you may wonder where the best elevation is considering the various heights over the slopes of Hualalai. Does elevation really make any difference, or should you choose one based on whether you prefer to be at sea level or way up high? These tips for living in Kona will help you make a decision.
If you want peace and tranquility, higher elevations are a better choice because you're not in the midst of traffic, neighbors, congestion, roads and all of the noise.
Enjoy a different kind of wildlife. When you live on the beach or at sea level, what comes to mind in regards to wildlife? Probably whales, turtles, fish and other life found in the ocean. The truth is, Hawaii also has lots of other wildlife for those at higher elevations to enjoy including parrots, geese, sheep, pigs, ducks and even wild turkeys. Life on the farm is something you can definitely experience in Kona!
Cooler temperatures. A lot of people love temperatures in the mid-80's, but if you prefer temperatures on the cooler side it's important to know they drop the further you go up. For instance if you choose an elevation of about 2,500 ft., expect temperatures to average about 75 degrees.
Spacious lots. Higher elevations offer more opportunities to enjoy a large lot where you can not only have more privacy, but enjoy beautiful gardens, fruit trees, vegetable gardens, or even grow your own coffee. If an acre or even a handful of acres sounds divine, up is the direction you'll want to go.
Of course it's wonderful to live anywhere on the Big Island, and people do love living right in the middle of the beaches and all the activity. That said, if a peaceful, quiet, more private setting sounds like your cup of tea, our Big Island luxury real estate brokers can help you find your perfect piece of Heaven!
