The Ring in Indo-European literature
One criticism sometimes made against JRR Tolkien is that he somehow imitated the ring-based plot of Richard Wagner's opera cycle 'The Ring of the Nibelung' in his own master work 'The Lord of the Rings'. Prof. Tolkien expressly disclaimed any similarity between his own work and that of Wagner, once comparing his Lord of the Rings with Wagner's Ring Cycle by saying, "Both rings were round, but there the resemblance ceases."

The rage of the warrior in literature
I previously discussed how strong emotions such as grief and rage well up from a very deep place within the self, expressing themselves in ways which go beyond the usual range of human expression, and how, according to the Indian tradition, the first poetic verse utterance emerged as an expression of deep sorrow. We see this particularly in the expression of rage on the battlefield, as will be described here.

On epic literature and the emotions
Great literature can express emotions in ways that are powerful yet also subtle. This is clear in epic literature, such as in the Iliad, which announces itself straight off the bat as a poem rooted in a specific emotion, viz. rage.

Some Indo-European thoughts on time
Our day-to-day experience of time passing can be highly non-linear and subjective, as we move from giving rapid presentations to enjoying lazy Sunday afternoons. Science too has studied how our brains have the ability to slow down and speed up our perception of time. In this way, our lived experience of the flow of time diverges sharply from the scientific description of this experience.

Trysts by night in art and poetry
The painting above, by one of the great Indian artists of the late eighteenth century, Nainsukh, depicts such a scene. Our paramour sneaks away from her home by night to a spot in the forest where she has arranged to meet her lover during the night, and she must be back before anyone awakes and misses her in the morning.

Love, death and Sanskrit literature
In romantic literature across the world, we frequently read about lovers who would die rather than be apart. In the story of Pyramus and Thisbe, Pyramus kills himself, believing Thisbe to be dead. When Thisbe finds the dead body of Pyramus, she also kills herself. Romeo and Juliet, based on this story, and many other tales of world literature, follow a similar pattern.

T.S. Eliot, the Vedas and the Concept of Time
The concept of time seems to have been a preoccupation for many leading figures of this generation across a variety of fields, stimulated perhaps in part by the linking of hitherto distant regions through railway and telegraphy during the nineteenth century, and likely also by the impact of Einstein's work. Such figures might include Henri Bergson, Martin Heidegger, Marcel Proust, Salvador Dali and many others.

Conflicting norms of behaviour: in Greek drama and Indian epic
Polyneices a proper burial. Polyneices has been killed in a battle against his brother and fellow citizens, and, as he is considered a traitor to the kingdom, the king decrees that no-one is to bury him or mourn him. As his sister, however, Antigone feels that she is under an obligation to give him some minimal burial rites, and in fact does so, leading to her being condemned, as illustrated above.

Against the backdrop of National Green Tribunal seeking a status report from the Tamil Nadu government on the management and disposal of biomedical waste recently, a glance at the Government Hospitals in the State reveals non-adherence to the Biomedical Waste Management Rules.
Chennai: While the Tamil Nadu Pollution Control Board failed to take any action against the violation in Government Hospitals, healthcare centres also lack the treatment plants necessary for safe disposal of waste.
The Biomedical Waste Management Rules (BMWMR), 2016, mandates a safe, ventilated and secure location within the premises of a healthcare facility for storage of segregated biomedical waste in coloured bags or containers, to ensure that there is no secondary handling, pilferage of recyclables or inadvertent scattering or spillage by animals.
Despite the rules, government facilities lack the infrastructure to treat the waste before transporting it for disposal. "We ensure source segregation of biomedical waste and then directly transport it to treatment plants through the contractors concerned," a nodal officer, biomedical waste management unit at Rajiv Gandhi Government General Hospital (RGGGH), said.
Before sending the waste to the treatment facility for final disposal, according to the regulations, hospitals should pre-treat laboratory waste, microbiological waste, blood samples and blood bags through disinfection or sterilisation on-site, as prescribed by the World Health Organisation (WHO) or National AIDs Control Organisation (NACO) guidelines. However, health officers at Stanley Medical College and Hospital and Kilpauk Medical College denied having any treatment plants for biomedical waste at their facilities. "Only 'definite proven infected' biomedical waste is treated, while there is no other treatment given to other forms of waste. We do not have any treatment plant currently for liquid biomedical waste or other forms of biomedical waste. The new hospitals or healthcare units might have such infrastructure, but we lack it," said Dr P Vasanthamani, Dean of KMC.
Even for treating liquid waste the facilities are no better, "Liquid biomedical waste can easily get diffused in water bodies and cause major outbreaks. The biomedical waste is usually treated by sodium hypochlorite. However, it is ineffective for the treatment of liquid waste," said Jawaharlal Shanmugam, a social activist. Hospitals are trusted with a range of procedures, to ensure segregation of liquid chemical waste at the source, pre-treatment or neutralisation prior to the liquid biomedical waste mixing with other effluents generated at health care facilities and treatment and disposal of liquid waste. On the contrary, many government facilities in the State do not even have a liquid waste treatment plant.
The norms also require Government Hospitals to provide training to all its health care workers and others who are involved in the handling of biomedical waste at least once a year. However, healthcare staff at Government Hospital are unaware of any such training. "We are only given instructions by our supervisors when we join the service and they just monitor our work. There has not been any yearly training for us," said S Kamla, a conservancy staff at RGGGH for three years now.
The norms mandate that Government Hospitals should maintain a day to day biomedical waste management register and display the monthly record of waste generated in terms of category and colour coding on its website. But the websites of the Government Hospitals in Tamil Nadu reveals that they do not maintain any such registry.

Perlfarn (Onoclea sensibilis) ist die einzige Pflanzenart der Gattung Onoclea innerhalb der Familie der Onocleaceae. Ihr disjunktes Areal umfasst das östliche Nordamerika und das östliche Asien. Das Artepitheton sensibilis bezieht sich auf die ausgeprägte Frostempfindlichkeit der sterilen Wedel.

Beschreibung

Onoclea sensibilis wächst als sommergrüne, ausdauernde krautige Pflanze und erreicht Wuchshöhen von 30 bis 90 Zentimetern. Als Speicher- und Überdauerungsorgan besitzt die Art ein lang kriechendes Rhizom. Die lang gestielten und weit überhängenden sterilen Wedel stehen einzeln oder zu wenigen zusammen und sind von gelb-grüner Farbgebung. Die Spreite ist fiederschnittig mit netzig verbundenen Nerven, am Grund jedoch häufig gefiedert. Sie ist von ledriger Konsistenz. Die Fiederabschnitte weisen eine dreieckige Form auf. Die aufrecht stehenden fruchtbaren Wedel sind kürzer als die sterilen Wedel. Die Spreite ist zweifach gefiedert, wobei die Fiederchen sich kugelig um die Sori einrollen. Die Ausbreitung erfolgt über Sporen und das Rhizom.

Vorkommen
Das natürliche Verbreitungsgebiet von Onoclea sensibilis ist das östliche Nordamerika und das östliche Asien. In Deutschland finden sich einige neophytische Vorkommen in Berlin, Braunschweig und im westlichen Ruhrgebiet, die aus Verwilderungen entstammen.

Onoclea sensibilis gedeiht am besten in feuchten Wälder und Grabenrändern. In der Nähe von Bächen, in feuchten Wiesen und um Quellen ist sie ebenfalls anzutreffen.

Obwohl Onoclea sensibilis zur Winterhärtezone = USDA-Klimazone 2 zählt, ist sie spätfrost-empfindlich.

Verwendung
Der Perlfarn wird gelegentlich als Zierpflanze in Gehölzgruppen und feuchten Wiesen verwendet. Er ist seit etwa 1799 in Kultur. Der Neuaustrieb gilt allgemein als attraktiv. Bekannt ist die Sorte Rotstieliger Perlfarn, die sich durch rote Blattstiele auszeichnet.

Paddington Station sculpture
The Great Western Hotel by Paddington Station has a noble pediment with figure sculpture by the eminent Victorian sculptor John Thomas, and within Paddington Railway Station itself are three statues.
We start with the building and its pediment. Philip Hardwick the Younger (1822-1892) was the architect of the Great Western Hotel, which was completed in 1854, shortly after Paddington Station itself was built. It is large, facing onto Praed Street, which is not wide enough to get the distant view one would wish. The familiar view therefore is an oblique one of two square towers, not so much higher than the rest of the building, and crowned with slate roofs, flanked by chimneys and with a balustrade. All this, especially the mansard roofs, in French style, described when it was built as 'in the taste of the age of Louis XIV, or somewhat later'.
Paddington Station, Great Western Hotel .
Between the towers is the rather flat frontage of the Hotel, essentially rows of windows in a Classical format, with a plain ground floor, the first floor being the principal one with the tallest windows, with little pediments, and then four successively less important lines of windows, the uppermost of which are above a balustrade and dormer windows respectively. The pediment is above the third floor balustrade, and instead of being supported on pillars, has simply the projecting elements of the façade.
Paddington Station Hotel: Pediment by John Thomas as it was and is .
Within the pediment is the figure sculpture we want to see: ten Classical figures standing and reclining, a camel, a horse and an elephant, and a couple of putti, along with various implements. The group represents Peace, Plenty, Industry and Science . John Thomas, a now little known but extremely good sculptor, shows his skill at composition in this work. There are 10 full sized figures in the pediment, of which two are seated on one side, one on the other, and three large animals, and yet a perfect balance between the two sides is maintained. The centremost group has the tall figure of Peace , hands outstretched in front of two very similar figures with reflected poses, an arm across the body, the head turned inwards, the forward leg outwards, giving a lithe twist to the body; one carries a flowering staff, the other a cornucopia (i.e. symbolising Plenty ). Next on each side is a group of a small putto with pottery, and above and behind, a woman with an animal. To the left as we look at the pediment, she is an exotic figure in a turban, standing almost in profile and holding the rein of a camel, representing perhaps trade with the Orient ; to the right, a figure of Europa has a horse – the figure and the positioning of the horse is reversed.
Central figure of Peace, and inner figures including America and Europe .
Next outward are two more groups, tucked in close so the eye does not particularly separate them, but completely distinct. To the left, a figure of America , a splendid barbarian girl, semi-nude and carrying a paddle and longbow, and wearing a nice skirt of feathers to match her feathered headdress; seated next to her on the ground is another girl, wearing a robe and gaudy jewellery, with a second camel glimpsed behind her. The balancing figures on the right are Africa , a solid figure, again semi-nude with headdress, ostrich feather perhaps, and long skirt; she rests her hand on the brow of a crouched-down elephant – not many sculptors would be able to balance a seated figure on one side with an elephant on the other (more elephant sculpture on this page).
Outer figure sculpture .
All of these figures are on a low, central plinth rising gently at the centre. But our final two figures, one seated girl on each side, are lower down to fit under the descending cornices of the pediment. She to the left is resting an elbow on a globe, on her lap a parchment on which she measures with a pair of callipers, and out into the sharp corner of the pediment we see a heavy press, a large gearwheel and a geometric cone; lost from the group are the inscribed picture of intersecting curves and a projection device from the original design. She is surely an allegorical figure of Science Her sister to the far right holds a ship's prow, I think, and has a sheaf of corn and a beehive and to her right what looks like a torpedo (though apparently the self propelled torpedo first emerged two years later, in 1866). Regardless, the rest of her accoutrements suggest she may be another embodiment Plenty , or else together these two reclining figures represent Science and Industry in the broadest sense. What an excellent group altogether, and what a shame we cannot see at a less oblique angle and from a bit higher up. (For more pediment sculpture, see this page).
Inside the Railway station now. The main statue is that on the Great Western Railway World War I Memorial – a standing figure of a soldier, over life size and given added breadth and bulk by his pose, feet spread well apart, and great coat open to the front and splaying to the sides. He wears helmet, long knotted scarf, and heavy trousers and boots, all adding to the sense of solidity, and looks downward at the open letter he holds in his hands, this downward glance giving a sombre, reflective mood to the statue. The sculptor was C. Sargeant Jagger, an important war artist, his best known work being the Royal Artillery Monument memorial at Hyde Park Corner. The figure here in Paddington Station exemplifies his style.
Great Western Railway World War I Memorial, by Sargeant Jagger .
Brunel was the architect of the Railway Station itself, assisted by Matthew Digby Wyatt, brother of the more prolific architect Thomas Henry Wyatt and a member of the same gifted family which produced the sculptors Matthew Cotes Wyatt and Richard James Wyatt. The beautiful engine shed of Paddington Station was one of the first buildings after the Great Exhibition to use the same style of a repeating element of shaped steel. Look out for the almost art nouveau style leaf and insect-wing patterns, the raised balconies, and above the ticket office, complex leaf designs. The huge train sheds and the ironwork are best appreciated not from the front end, but looking back from the walkway at the far end (where the trains go out). There is always a faint haze (heat? pollution?) and this adds to the feeling of depth and size.
Brunel statue, 1982, by John Doubleday .
So we have as our second statue in Paddington Station a modern statue of Brunel , emplaced in 1982 (though not in its current position). The sculptor is John Doubleday, who made the statue of Sherlock Homes outside Baker Street station. As is typical with much modern figure sculpture, the emphasis is on the face and head, and the hands, which are good, with a sketchiness to the clothing; contrast the treatment of the coat with Victorian work. The statue is seated on a chair, just bulky enough to give some solidity and avoid a sense of floating. Seated figures are not so common, but are becoming more so, as one of a number of ways to make portrait sculpture more informal and closer to the viewer rather than orating on a high pedestal.
Paddington Bear, by Marcus Cornish .
The third statue actually in Paddington Railway Station is a rather sentimental one of Paddington Bear , put there in 2000, made by the sculptor Marcus Cornish, who was also responsible for the stag in St James's Square – see this page.
Just a few hundred yards to the north is Paddington Green, where the Church of St Mary Paddington Green contains many good things sculptural.

Chris Knudsen retires as Centennial football coach after 32-year run
Chris Knudsen was 158-158 during a 32-year head coaching tenure at Centennial.
By Nick Daschel | The Oregonian/OregonLive
RELATED: Oregon high school football coaches with the longest tenure at one school.
Centennial's Chris Knudsen, head coach at one school longer than any current football coach in Oregon, has retired.
Knudsen, 65, decided to end a 32-year run as the Eagles coach last week, when an opportunity was presented to become an associate director of the Oregon Athletic Coaches Association. Knudsen will retire as a physical education teacher at Centennial in June.
Knudsen, Centennial's coach since 1986, coached 42 years combined at three schools, including football assistant jobs at Sandy and Hillsboro. He also was briefly a girls basketball and track head coach earlier in his career.
Knudsen was 158-158 over 32 years at Centennial, coaching the Eagles to four league titles, the last a shared Mt. Hood title with Central Catholic in 2009.
Knudsen's current stage in life, and the OACA position, led to his retirement decision. Knudsen became a grandfather last May when his son Tyler had a son, followed a month later when his daughter Brittany had twins. Tyler is defensive coordinator at College of the Siskiyous, and Brittany lives in Colorado Springs.
"We do not get to see them very often these days because of football. I felt like it was time for me to give back to my family for what they've given to me the last 32 years," Knudsen said.
Only seven men in Oregon history have been head football coaches longer at one school than Knudsen, a list topped by Thurman Bell, Roseburg's coach of 45 years. With Knudsen retiring, the leaders among current coaches are Jesuit's Ken Potter and Dufur's Jack Henderson, each at his school the past 31 years.
Knudsen said he's had several opportunities over the years to take higher profile football coaching jobs than Centennial, a school that is among the highest percentage of low income families in Oregon. Centennial is one of the few 5A and 6A schools that plays on a natural grass field, rather than artificial turf.
When a job possibility presented itself, Knudsen sat down with his wife Kathy and made a decision. Until last week, the decision was always the same: stay at Centennial.
"We have a great administration, we have great kids. Why leave and not possibly be happy somewhere else? This school and community is a great place," Knudsen said.
The high-water mark of Knudsen's Centennial tenure was 1992 and 1993, when the Eagles went 11-1 and 12-1. In 1993, Centennial won its first 12 games before losing to Ashland in the 4A semifinals.
The biggest win of Knudsen's tenure came recently, when in 2016 the Eagles stunned Central Catholic 46-36 to end the Rams' 43-game Mt. Hood Conference winning streak.
Even though Knudsen stuck to the run-heavy veer offense until the end, rather than turn to the spread passing game that so many schools recently have employed, the Eagles' offense moved the ball. In 2015, Centennial had a four-quarter stretch in games against Aloha and David Douglas (fourth quarter vs. Aloha, first three quarters vs. David Douglas) when the Eagles scored a combined 92 points. In 2016, Centennial was one of the top-scoring offenses in 6A.
Knudsen said the OACA position provides a nice bridge to what eventually will be full retirement.
"I'll still be involved in a lot of things. That'll give me an avenue to stay involved in athletics," Knudsen said.

Today we'd like to introduce you to Cortina Jackson.
I am so excited and thrilled to be the author of two published novels. My story unfolds as a former police officer married to an abusive police officer. A very unique situation to be in, as my job was to protect and serve when I could not protect and serve myself at that time. This realization kept my lips sealed, as I had to put on a strong face, and have a command presence in every job that I had during the abuse. I have worked in Criminal Justice and Law Enforcement my whole working life.
Feelings of helplessness, worthlessness, and depression, were emotions that I had to suppress and became good at it until my now ex-husband tried to kill me. I watched through tear-filled eyes as the hundred or so pages of my manuscript fluttered in many different directions. About a minute later, the pages blurred as a blow delivered to my head caused my vision to distort, and I found myself resting on top of the pages that had finally settled to the floor.
The pain in my body paled in comparison to the pain in my heart, which was crushed—for bruises always healed, but a broken heart lasted for an eternity. My work, I thought, all of my hard work. What happened next was a series of events that began the new chapter in my book of life. On my hands and knees, I began gathering those pages. I ran to the closet, shoving them into a book bag, as I said nothing.
I decided to accentuate the pain that was inflicted upon me because I knew that it would invoke vile pleasure for my spouse if he thought that his actions caused me physical agony. This would, in turn, take his focus off of the carefully written pages that I had diligently worked on for months, as his goal was to achieve satisfaction at what he thought would hurt me the most. To take his focus off the book bag, I doubled over in pain, as I tossed the bag deep into the protection of a dark closet.
Carefully walking past him, I proceeded to the living room. My confidence and disregard for his presence angered him once more, and more punches ensued. The pressure of my scalp lifting with unbearable tightness made me writhe in pain, realizing that he was trying to rip my hair out in chunks. When this failed, he put his arm around my neck; and with a python-like grip, he squeezed tightly and twisted my head. I could hear the bones in my neck crack, and I realized that my life was ending; deep sadness set in.
Something inside of me just wouldn't let me die this way. I had two children whom I loved so much, a family who loved me, and a story that I wanted to get out; and I needed to fulfill my destiny! I took my life back from the hands that did not have the authorization to take it. I curled into the fetal position, so he could no longer twist my head. He stood up and left the room, long enough for me to grab my keys and purse, as I fled. The police were called, and he was arrested.
This gave me the opportunity to go back, pack everything that I could fit into my car, and leave for good. I escaped with only things that I could fit in my car and fled with nothing but a broken heart, some clothes, and a story that I had been working on for months. I used to daydream and say that I would be a millionaire by forty, hoping that the laws of attraction would bring it to fruition.
My 40th birthday came, and I had nothing but a broken heart, some of my clothes, my laptop computer, important documents, and that book bag with my pages, wondering if it would ever become a book. Nonetheless, I pulled those crumpled pages from that bag and typed out those words to make chapter after chapter appears. The chapters in my life also began to unfold.
Trying to get my book published with zero knowledge of the process only added fuel to the firestorm of hurt, disappointment, fear, and depression. I had no money and could not even afford an editor. I queried hundreds of publishers and agents; and with no knowledge of how to properly format my manuscript, I received hundreds of rejection letters; this only made me feel worthless.
My husband had rejected me, the publishers had rejected me, and I could not afford vanity publishing. I decided that this was not going to stop me, or set me back. I fought hard to live; now it was time to fight harder to keep living and achieving. I started researching everything about self-publishing and decided to do all the parts that I could myself, to save money. I looked at everything that the vanity publishers offered, to find out what was needed to turn a manuscript into a book.
As I collected knowledge of the steps of book publishing, my heart soared with joy. I bought an ISBN number and found a company to make my book cover. The beauty of the book's appearance shone in my eyes while I fixed margins and spacing. Remembering that day when my pages fluttered to the floor because of my ex-husband, I thought about how far I'd come when I found a bookbinding company to keep the pages from ever falling again. I cried when the book appeared on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Apple iBook.
My moment of pure bliss came when I received a notification that I had sold my first book. I literally jumped out of my chair and began to leap up and down as tears flowed uncontrollably. I began to pour from my heart, thanks and gratitude for this moment. For the first time, I felt like I was something more than a victim, I was a victor! I am somebody. I am a writer. I went from rock bottom in health, wealth, and esteem to a life lived more abundantly.
I'm so thankful for everything I've accomplished, and I smile all of the time. When I think about that day when my ex-husband beat me, and I shoved my book bag in the closet, I don't recognize that person; that person didn't have a voice that was heard or a reflection that I thought anyone could see. I have come so far, and I feel accomplished and loved. My book of life is still being written, but spoiler alert, it ends very well.
I am an author of two fiction thriller novels, "On Earth As It Is In Hell," and "The Sounds of Silence Are The Loudest." I am currently working on the third novel, that will be the final one in this trilogy of what I am calling my "Hell Series," in which we see the pain that is caused by the hands of another to manipulate and influence people, places, and things, that are already in vulnerable positions.
An evil assignment is given in the very pits of Hell to come to the Earth to cause pain and destruction so that the evil forces can claim souls for Hell. I am also the new co-host for a Sirius XM Radio show, on Channel 167 Thursday nights 6-8pm CST, it is called "Live Your Best Life." No topic is off limits. I am very excited about that opportunity because I now have a voice and people are listening to what I have to say. It deeply touches my heart!
I recently started my own podcast called, "What's on Cortina Jackson's mind," in which I discuss various topics like domestic violence, sexual abuse, and suicide. I also get the opportunity to read chapters from my books and short stories. I hope to have guests on the show to create a platform for their books or personal experiences as well. I have always wanted to act, so I am beginning to take on some roles that I am very excited about.
I am looking forward to getting more acting roles. I have found that of all the ventures that I have explored, I thoroughly enjoy acting.
I am also planning to go to film school so that I can develop my skill for writing screenplays, directing, and producing. This is my ultimate dream. I know that this will happen for me, it is what I put to thought frequently.
I have been blessed to attract some wonderful opportunities in my life, and I foresee this one being an accomplishment that will send me to cloud nine.
I acted in a few scenes in the movie, "Beneath the Scar," written by Dr. Sheila Brown, and directed by Cynthia Reid Wills, in which I play Mrs. Gray. There will be a Red Carpet Premiere of the movie March 3, 2019 in Irving, TX. Visit my website for details. I will also be in a stage play called, "Take Away the Pain," written and directed by Mr. Dondale Turner. I am also thrilled to do some voice acting on an upcoming project for Ms. Karen Anderson.

Not much longer now and we all will be playing DOOM in both multiplayer and single player to our hearts content. May 13th is going to be the big day for id Software to bring back the famed franchise and so far it has looked amazing and played amazing; at least in terms of the multiplayer so far. If you haven't been sold on DOOM with just that so far then it looks like we have yet another foray into making sure you see how badass the game looks and has evolved into the current times. Just as Wolfenstein has.
There isn't much in terms of anything new for updates on mechanics and they overall story of DOOM here but it is filled with all kind of new gameplay in the game. New solo gameplay were we get just what we are looking for in the game; a lot of blood exploding demons and devils. It wouldn't be a proper addition to the franchise if that wasn't the case here now would it? No it would not is the only answer you can give to that question. The rest are to be ignored or blown up just the same. No arguing.
DOOM was developed at id Software, the studio that pioneered the first-person shooter genre and invented multiplayer Deathmatch. Relentless demons, impossibly destructive guns, and fast, fluid movement provide the foundation for intense, first-person combat – whether you're obliterating demon hordes through the depths of Hell in the single-player campaign, or competing against your friends in numerous multiplayer modes. Expand your gameplay experience using DOOM SnapMap game editor to easily create, play, and share your content with the world.
Are you ready for DOOM now or are you still holding out for some reason or another? Based on the above do you think that this will be a great addition into the franchise or just another grab at nostalgia? Do you think the whole game will have the high intensity that we have only been shown thus far or will there be "softer" portions to enjoy? Let us know and discuss everything down in the comments. For more on DOOM in any way as we head to launch be sure to stay right here and be on the lookout for everything we can bring.


Fabio Capello says Cristiano Ronaldo is not one of football's three geniuses, despite being 'a champion'.
34-year-old Ronaldo fired Juventus into the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League midweek with a sensational hat-trick, but former Juventus and Real Madrid manager Capello insisted he is still not at the level of Lionel Messi, Pele or Diego Maradona.
"Ronaldo's an extraordinary footballer, but Messi is a genius," he said to Sky Sport Italia.
"I faced Messi when he was 16 years old and I was amazed.
"He did the same things he does today but 20 years younger because he was born a genius. He invents things that others don't see.


BOWDITCH, NATHANIEL (1773-1838). Mathematician, navigator, and astronomer, Nathaniel Bowditch authored the book that since 1802 has been the standard reference for celestial navigators worldwide. Schooled only to age ten, Bowditch taught himself mathematics and several foreign languages in the course of his academic pursuits. While on a voyage to Manila in 1796, Bowditch used his time to correct and supplement information contained in the standard navigation text ofthe day, John Hamilton Moore's The Practical Navigator (London, 1772; first American ed. 1799). Bowditch published two updated editions of this work (1799, 1800) and then in 1802 released revised tables and instructions under his own name as The New American Practical Navigator.

Q: Modern C++ best way to implement a function with a variable number of int parameters In modern C++(ie, version>=11), what is best way to implement a function with a variables number of int parameters?
I only want ints, not a general type.
Each of the parameters is of type int and no other type is allowed.
void foo(/*WHAT'S HERE*/) {
// and how do I access the arguments here?
}

int main()
{
  foo(34,1);
  foo(9,2,66,1);
  // etc
  return 0;
}

A: The best thing to do is use a variadic function.
template<typename T, typename ... Args>
return_type Functionname(T arg1, ...)
{ }

For example, if you want to sum a variable number of arguments, use something like:
template<typename T, typename... Args>
T adder(T first, Args... args) {
  return first + adder(args...);
}

Hope this helps!
EDIT:  This question might help, too.

2 LOOKS AT HEART OF DARKNESS
Roger Moore, Jay BoyarTHE ORLANDO SENTINEL
See both Aileen: Life and Death of a Serial Killer, a documentary about Florida serial killer Aileen Wuornos, and the Florida-filmed Monster, for which Charlize Theron won an Oscar for playing Wuornos.
***** Monster (Columbia-TriStar; 111 minutes; rated R for strong violence and sexual content and for pervasive language; priced for rental, $26.96 for DVD): The gutsiness of director Patty Jenkins' film about Aileen Wuornos comes from her decision not to turn her subject into an icon -- lesbian, anti-death penalty, pro-death penalty, what-have-you. She skims the miserable story of this woman's life and shows how Wuornos became the heartless killer whom Florida executed in 2002. Jenkins, who also wrote the film, doesn't romanticize Wuornos, but she does explain her. Murderous hookers aren't born, she says. They're made.
Charlize Theron's stunning transformation into Wuornos may start with cosmetics -- bad teeth, skin and hair and extra weight -- but it's much deeper than that. From her eyes down to her walk, she channels Wuornos. At home in bars, hitchhiking for customers and curled up wherever the homeless make their beds, this is a woman with issues -- and mileage on her.
A chance encounter in a gay bar connects her with Selby (Christina Ricci), the young gay woman based on Wuornos' lover, Tyria Moore. Selby makes Aileen dream again: "We have a shot at a real life," Wuornos gushes.
Of course, she has already killed a client who sodomized her and would have killed her had she not gotten the drop on him. The killing, so traumatic at first, becomes easier.
Monster is the Florida not found on the postcards. Revisiting Wuornos' world, from the seedy hotels of Daytona Beach and the Last Resort biker bar in Port Orange to the Fun Spot, one of Orlando's many also-ran amusement parks, gives the viewer an appreciation of the completeness that was the trap of her life.
**** Aileen: Life and Death of a Serial Killer (Columbia-TriStar; 89 minutes; rated R for language, including violent and sexual dialogue; priced for rental, $19.95 for DVD): In this documentary, the real Aileen Wuornos comes across differently, especially in footage from around the time of the killings. Despite her truly appalling teeth, the Wuornos of this documentary is actually less physically repellent than the Charlize Theron version. And because of that, it's easier to imagine why men would pay Wuornos for sexual favors.
Overall, however, the real woman is also more monstrous than the woman in Monster. She seems more deranged and further beyond salvation.
The documentary is a haunting exploration of a ruined and wasted life. It is marred, however, by its undisguised special pleading in opposition to Florida's death penalty.
Watching Monster, it was possible to get the impression that the Wuornos' story is the story of all victimized women, only more so. But there's no way to draw that conclusion from this documentary.
"Now I know what Jesus was goin' through!" Wuornos complains, not long before her execution.
Truth is stranger than truth restaged. Chances are, you've never seen anything like this.

A Liverpool domestic abuse survivor is a finalist in the Daily Mirror Pride of Britain award.
With the help of charity The Prince's Trust Katie Walker has fulfilled her childhood ambition of opening her own beauty salon.
The 32-year-old also devotes her time to empowering domestic violence survivors by drawing on her own experiences.
Katie is one of five finalists in The Prince's Trust Young Achiever category.
The ceremony, in partnership with TSB, takes place at London's Grosvenor House on October 30 and is later shown on TV.

She opened her own salon in 2013.
Every year, on the anniversary of the attack, Katie re-posts the photos of her badly beaten face on social media.
She said: "The first year I got over 3,000 likes and hundreds of messages from women suffering similar abuse. Every time I post the photos, I give an update on the good things happening in my life now.
"I want to show them there is life on the other side."
Katie also asks her social media followers to nominate someone suffering and in need of a pamper.
She added: "It's amazing what it can do for somebody's self-worth, just knowing someone cares about them."

Archbishop Welby to present ACC Reformation resolution to Catholic and Lutheran leaders
Posted on: October 24, 2017 2:24 PM
Westminster Abbey in London will host a service next Tuesday to mark the 500th anniversary of the Reformation.

A resolution from the Anglican Consultative Council welcoming an agreed Roman Catholic-Lutheran declaration on justification will feature at a service in Westminster Abbey next week. The service, on Tuesday (31 October) will mark the 500th anniversary of Martin Luther nailing his 95 theses, critical of Catholic teaching on justification, to the door of All Saints' Church – the Schlosskirche – in Wittenberg, Germany.
Luther's actions kick-started the Reformation, and led to bloody and violent actions and counter-actions between Roman Catholics and Christians in the newer Lutheran and other Protestant churches which emerged as the Catholic monopoly in Europe came to an end..
After extensive ecumenical dialogue between the Pontifical council for Promoting Christian Unity and the Lutheran World Federation, a Joint Declaration on the Doctrine of Justification was agreed in 1999. In it, the two Churches sat that they now share "a common understanding of our justification by God's grace through faith in Christ." The agreement paved the way for a closer relationship between Catholics and Lutherans, culminating in Pope Francis' participation in a service in Malmö, Sweden, last year at the start of a year of activities to mark the 500th anniversary of the Reformation.

The pivotal Joint Declaration was adopted by the World Methodist Council in July 2006 and by the World Communion of Reformed Churches in July this year.
In April 2016, the Anglican Consultative Council, at their meeting in Lusaka, Zambia, "welcomed and affirmed" the substance of the Joint Declaration. In a resolution, the ACC said that it "recognises that Anglicans and Lutherans share a common understanding of God's justifying grace . . . that we are accounted righteous and are made righteous before God only by grace through faith because of the merits of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, and not on account of our works or merits."
The resolution went on to recognise "that in 1986 the Anglican-Roman Catholic International Commission (ARCIC) produced a statement Salvation and the Church, which observed that our two Communions are agreed on the essential aspects of the doctrine of salvation and on the Church's role within it."
In February, the Church of England's General Synod noted the ACC resolution when it approved a motion welcoming "signs of convergence between the churches on the doctrine of salvation." The Synod commented initiatives taking place to mark the anniversary "to foster mutual understanding and reconciliation between churches, for the sake of our deeper renewal in the grace of God and our ability to share the gospel of salvation with all the world."
At next week's Westminster Abbey service, the Archbishop of Canterbury will present copies of the ACC resolution to the Roman Catholic Church and the Lutheran World Federation.
"The Joint Declaration was a historic breakthrough in overcoming the divisions that emerged from the Reformation through a fresh statement of its key concern, how sinners can be put right with God and empowered to live in a new way," the Bishop of Coventry, Dr Christopher Cocksworth, said. "The good news of forgiveness and freedom through Jesus Christ is what unites us as Christians. It's the word of grace and hope that – together – we want to share with all the world."
The Anglican Communion's director of unity, faith and order, Canon Dr John Gibaut, said: "In our separate bilateral dialogues with both the Catholic Church and the communion of churches in the Lutheran World Federation, Anglicans have explored the questions of justification, and are agreed on the essential aspects of our salvation in Christ.
"During the historic 2017 anniversary, Anglicans rejoice in the extraordinary achievement that the Joint Declaration on the Doctrine of Justification represents as a sign of healing after 500 years of division."
Archbishop Justin will preach the sermon at next week's service, which will be led by the Dean of Westminster, Dr John Hall. It has been organised with the Council of Lutheran Churches in the UK. A new anthem, commissioned for the occasion from Danish composer Bent Sørensen, will be performed by the Westminster Abbey Special Service Choir.

Resettlement Schemes

Host a refugee
GOVERNMENT ABANDONS DUBS SCHEME
The Government announced on Wednesday that it would stop receiving refugee children under the so-called Dubs Amendment at the end of March – having resettled just 200 children so far under this scheme
The Dubs Amendment – to resettle the most vulnerable unaccompanied asylum-seeking children – was passed in Parliament in May last year. While there was no target number specified in law, it was anticipated the Government would accept around 3,000 children under this scheme. But ministers have now confirmed that it will resettle just 350 children in total.
Charities, church leaders, MPs and peers have called the decision to end the scheme "shameful".
Elmbridge CAN co-founder, Jeannie Tweedie, said:
"We are appalled at the Government's decision to close the scheme having only accepted a fraction of the number of children originally planned. We know from our contacts on the ground that there are still thousands of unaccompanied children in Europe – alone, scared and desperate.
Many of the 1,000 or so children who were taken to reception centres across France when the Calais refugee camp was closed are eligible to come to the UK under the Dubs Amendment. This scheme is the only legal and safe route to the UK for these children.
We believe the UK can and must do more to protect the most vulnerable refugee children. It's simply not good enough to say 'we've done our bit' when we haven't even touched the surface."
Former child refugee and peer, Lord Alf Dubs, who designed the law and fought to get it passed, said:
"[On Wednesday] Theresa May put Britain on the wrong side of history. To our country's shame, she has decided to shut down the Dubs Scheme, which promised child refugees a safe future in the UK.
The Dubs Amendment was a promise to us – to honour our proud tradition of welcoming those most in need.
I saw that compassion and courage in Sir Nicholas Winton, who rescued me as a child from the Nazi regime, along with 669 Jewish children. Acts of heroism like this define our country and characterise the values we hold dear.
Now we are faced with another such turning point in our nation's history.
Join me in saying YES – I want Britain to rescue the most vulnerable child refugees."
Sign this petition and tell Theresa May not to abandon the Dubs Scheme for refugee children. Write to your MP. Tell your friends to take action.
We'll need to fight harder than ever to make sure the Government doesn't abandon its commitment to help the most vulnerable refugee children.

Rita's previous album 'Come Sunrise' has been a favourite here for the last couple of years, and this new collection is even better with 11 crafted country-folk songs that feel like an honest representation and glimpse into modern blue collar America.
A powerful lyricist, she's skilled at capturing the detail and colour of a situation and presenting them in a manner that creates atmosphere – much of that comes from her restrained vocals that are delivered with real conviction.
Produced by Rich Brotherton (Caroline Herring), the musicians providing the soundscape for her songs include Brotherton, and other members of Robert Earl Keen's band who add bass, drums, guitar and more.
All eleven songs on 'Burn' are originals from Rita, and they cover a broad-range of subjects, characters and situations, but they are all delivered with real passion and intensity and she sings every single word with real conviction.
This is a superb modern Americana album, the songs are excellent, the instrumentation beautifully understated and the vocal delivery is delicate but packed with emotional power.

A Fan Leave
Mark Bishop has been sharing his music with audiences and Gospel Music fans for nearly twenty years. His musical roots trace back to summer evenings spent on the front porch with his family, sharing the day's events and whiling away the hours singing song after song. It was during these idyllic evening gatherings that Mark and his family began forming the musical foundation that would bring them to the forefront of Southern Gospel music.
During their career, The Bishops (Mark, his father Kenneth, and his brother Kenny) enjoyed enormous success, with twenty-five recordings that produced twenty-seven Top 40 songs, including twelve Top 5 songs and three Number 1 songs. The Bishops also received numerous awards from their fans and peers in Southern Gospel music. Much of The Bishops distinctive sound could attributed to the instantly recognizable voice of Mark Bishop.
In time, Mark developed into one of the most promising and prolific songwriters in Southern Gospel music. He has written ten, Top 10 songs including: "Reach The World;" " When Jesus Is All That I Have;" "For Every Cross, There is a Crown;" "Great Things;" " When You Change Your Mind," and "You Can't Ask Too Much of My God," which was named the "Song of the Year" by the Southern Gospel Music Songwriters Association in 1997. In addition to The Bishops, Mark's songs have been recorded by The Kingsmen, Brian Free & Assurance, Amy Lambert, Allison Durham Speer, and many others. Church choirs across America have performed his songs. Mark's compositions have been performed on TV on programs such as In Touch with Charles Stanley, The Word Today with John Hagee, The Grand Ole Opry, The Bill Gaither Homecoming series, and others.
In addition to his singing and songwriting abilities, Mark has also been recognized as a skillful producer. His creative touch is evident on The Bishops' recordings. In 2000, the GMA (Gospel Music Association) honored Mark with a DOVE Award for producing Kentucky Bluegrass by The Bishops which was named the "Best Bluegrass Gospel Album of the Year" by the GMA .
Upon the retirement of The Bishops in 2001, Mark was encouraged by his friends, family, and peers to continue to use the gifts and talents God had given him. After much prayerful thought and counsel, Mark began a new chapter in his life and launched a solo career. "I know that God has a plan for my life that includes music. My passion for writing and performing Gospel music is still very much alive and vibrant. I love this music; I love these people, and as long as God allows, I'm pressing on."
Mark quickly gained momentum from the formidable legacy of The Bishops. Since the commencement of the new solo ministry, Mark has enjoyed tremendous support from pastors, promoters, his booking agency, his record company, radio, and Southern Gospel music fans. Each of his first three radio singles reached the Top 20 radio charts. "Jesus Can Lift You Up" from his debut solo release Faith, Family, & Friends was the Number One song on the US Gospel News Top 100 chart in November 2002. He has performed on many of the industry's top concerts and high profile events. Churches across the country have been blessed by Mark's performances and have discovered that a concert with Mark is indeed an uplifting event. His voice is instantly recognizable and familiar to fans of Southern Gospel music everywhere; his beautifully crafted songs are encouraging and insightful; his presentation is multifaceted, endearing, and has something for everyone.
When not performing, Mark can be found at home in Irvine, Kentucky with his Carolyn, and their daughters Courtney and Haley, where their life centers around their home church and their daughters' school and athletic activities.

Close Shave for Sandra!
Sandra Doran had her head shaved to a grade 2 in order to raise funds for Dream-a-Way on Saturday 26th October at Devon Cliffs in the reception area. But why, and who is Sandra?
Sandra is a 60 year old Exmouth woman who came across Dream-a-way a few years ago when her sister-in-law was a volunteer and since then she has helped cleaned our vans diligently the majority of Saturdays during the open season. She does this despite being disabled herself and now having to use a mobility scooter to help her get around.
But why have her head shaved? It's not been a great time for Sandra; her mother, age 88, who loves children and was a nursery nurse in her working days, was diagnosed with breast cancer and is currently undergoing treatment. Things then took a turn for the worse early this year when her husband, Alun, become seriously unwell with untreatable cancer. Sadly Alun passed away on 15th July 2019 with all the £300 collection after the service being donated to Dream-a-Way.
Sandra, like many of us, dislikes cancer and the effect it has on families, especially children. Having spoken with her mother she feels inspired to raise more funds for Dream-a-Way. Taking into account her mother's love of children, the importance of making life long lasting memories and the support of disabled people, her idea of a head shave was born. We thank you Sandra!

Appearances can be deceptive; and medieval ritual practices are in this respect no exception. They perform stability through the codification of repetitive modes of behaviour and simultaneously admit flexibility in their integration of newer forms of representation. They mask the historical contingencies of their own creation and construct alternative narratives of authority and continuity. They do not simply appear; their appearance reflects the mutual interplay of construction and modification. This collection of eleven essays – which chronologically spans the period from the Carolingians to the Catholic Reform movement of the later sixteenth century – explores this double-edged potential in the appearance of medieval ritual practices; and, in this case, chiefly church rituals. It comprises a series of individual studies by scholars of literature, theology, music, and the visual arts. Each study examines a particular moment of change or transformation in ritual practices, illuminating, thereby, processes of ritualization. In this way, the book both provides an impulse to the recent renewal of methodological interest in ritual studies and presents individual contributions to specific scholarly discourses within this broad area.

Home / Press Releases / House Passes Fix for Economically-Damaging Rule in Health Care Law
House Passes Fix for Economically-Damaging Rule in Health Care Law
Union Leaders: Health Care Law "Destroys the Foundation of the 40 Hour Work Week"
(Washington, D.C.) – The House of Representatives today approved legislation to address a serious negative effect of the Affordable Care Act (ACA), also known as Obamacare. Specifically, the law imposes penalties on certain companies based on the number of full-time employees, with a full-time employee defined as someone who works more than 30 hours per week. To avoid these penalties, many companies are expected to reduce hours worked by some employees below that 30-hour threshold. The Save American Workers Act seeks to repeal the 30-hour rule, and define a full-time position as one requiring 40 hours of work per week. This would allow companies to permit employees to work a 40-hour week without facing the penalty.
While supporters of Obamacare often claim to want to "fix" the problems with the law, a majority of the law's supporters voted against this common-sense measure. If not corrected, more and more workers are expected to see their working hours reduced. This controversial provision is strongly opposed by many union leaders. An open letter from these leaders says that the President's health care law will "destroy the foundation of the 40 hour work week that is the backbone of the American middle class." Supporters of the health care law have argued that allowing Americans to work 40 hours per week would add to the federal deficit.
Daniel Garza, Executive Director of The LIBRE Initiative released the following statement:
"The American people want jobs and economic opportunity, and we applaud this effort by the House to repeal a particularly onerous provision of the new health care law that threatens that. Former supporters of the Affordable Care Act are coming to realize that unless the President and his allies in Congress get serious about fixing health care, the painful consequences of Obamacare will threaten the prosperity of an already struggling middle class. Too many working families count on a full-time job to support their families. A politically-motivated health care law should not interfere with it.
The United States Senate has repeatedly refused to consider changes to the law. However, the measure that passed the House today is a bipartisan move that deserves open debate on the floor. The job of legislators is to safeguard the interest of the people. It's time for the White House and their allies in Congress to listen to the American people."


Pretty little weekends, all in a row.
Boozy Ice Pops. On a FiDi Rooftop.
And now, a few ideas for your next date: 1) a FiDi rooftop stocked with boozy ice pops and cocktails; 2) a champagne-soaked Cuban brunch in Chelsea; and/or 3) a SoHo seafood palace for lobster tacos, oysters and wine. You can thank us later.
Soaked Rooftop Is Back. Get Up There.
You don't easily toss around terms like "best roof in town." But you do toss around terms like "you can see everything up here," "they've got custom, fresh-pressed-juice-blend cocktails here" and "also: tea-based cocktails." Or at least you do when you're at Soaked, which just reopened for the season.
In the time it takes to say "cronuts," the following things have occurred: they've sold out, three websites have been made about them, a dozen new black-market dealers have emerged and more than 50,000 tears have been shed over them. Now there's a new flavor—lemon-maple... Bring riot gear.
This is big: Lafayette's foray into the hallowed space between breakfast and lunch. They've got Nutella-topped waffles, salmon benedict, Dijon Bloody Marys and tequila shandies. Oh, and weekday breakfasts in the dining room. They will not rest until your every meal is a Lafayette meal.
Polos: you've heard of these garments. They're what you wear to keep respectable when it's 237 degrees out with 4 trillion percent humidity. And probably the most handsome versions of them around are part of this Sunspel pop-up, along with some natty swimsuits and tees. Take that, sun.
There's nothing quite like relaxing in a sunny wooded paradise of leather bucket seats with a whole roasted chicken and a bottle of Burgundy recommended by a guy who won Top New Sommelier in New York before the place even opened. Oh, yeah there is. It's dinner at this place.

Zreformowane esperanto – system reform językowych esperanta opublikowanych w 1894 przez Ludwika Zamenhofa w czasopiśmie "La Esperantisto". Reformy ostatecznie zostały odrzucone w głosowaniu.

Historia
Z powodu wolnego rozwoju esperanta w pierwszych latach narodził się pomysł zmiany struktury języka, tak by łatwiejsza mogła pomóc w popularyzacji języka. Zamenhof mimowolnie przewodził ruchowi reformatorskiemu, żeby – jak sam stwierdził – "usunąć z niego niebezpieczeństwo". W 1894 w czasopiśmie "La Esperantisto" opublikował system reform językowych z pełnym słownikiem. Następnie odbyło się głosowaniem nad wprowadzeniem reform. W głosowaniu uczestniczyli członkowie Ligi Esperantystów (la Ligo Esperantista), czyli każdy abonent La Esperantisto. W 1894 liczba abonentów wynosiła 717, a 60% z nich było Rosjanami. Końcowe wyniki głosowania ukazały się w numerze 11 (listopad 1894):

Większość esperantystów zadecydowała, że język powinien zostać bez zmian.

Główne reformy

Fonologia
Wszystkie fonemy, których odpowiadające litery mają diakrytyki, zostają usunięte. Jedynie fonem /ʃ/, przypisany do litery ŝ, zostaje.

Dodatkowo Zamenhof zastanawiał się nad usunięciem fonemów /h/ i /j/, jednak później postanowiono je pozostawić.

Ortografia
Usunięte zostają litery diakrytyczne. Litera c będzie wymawiana jako /ʃ/ (stare ŝ), a litera z jako /ts/ (stare c).

Tak samo jak w przypadku fonemów, Zamenhof zastanawiał się nad usunięciem liter h i j, jednak później postanowiono pozostawić je bez zmiany.

Gramatyka

Przedimki
Usunięcie przedimka określonego la.

Biernik
Usunięcie biernika, sufiks -n zniknie. Dla określania kierunku, zamiast biernika, będzie używane słowo versu (w kierunku). Usunięcie biernika nie ma wpłynąć negatywnie na swobodny szyk wyrazów, ale dobrą praktyką jest zawsze stawiać podmiot przed czasownikiem, a rzeczownik w formie biernika po czasowniku.

Liczba mnoga
Rzeczowniki w liczbie mnogiej zamiast sufiksu -oj, będą używały -i: patri = patroj (ojcowie).

Przymiotniki i przysłówki
Przymiotniki przestają mieć deklinację, według Zamenhofa deklinacja przy rzeczownikach wystarcza. Przymiotniki i przysłówki mają taką samą końcówkę -e. Aby uniknąć nieporozumień, dobrą praktyką jest stawiać przymiotnik przed rzeczownikiem, a przysłówek po czasowniku.

Zaimki osobowe
Zaimki li (on) i ĝi (to) zostają połączone w jeden lu. Początkowo zaimek nieokreślony miał zostać usunięty, zamiast niego miałyby zostać użyte słówka homi (ludzie) lub iu (ktoś), ale finalnie została tylko zmieniona forma jego zapisu.

Czasowniki
Zmieniają się sufiksy czasowników:

Imiesłowy
Zostają usunięte czasy, można jednak użyć pasate (przeszły) i future (przyszły), aby doprecyzować wypowiedź.

Słowotwórstwo
Wyrazy złożone powinny być tworzone z pełnych wyrazów, bez ucinania sufiksów, np. vaporo + ŝipo = vaporoŝipo (statek parowy), nie vaporŝipo (zostaje ucięte -o ze słowa vaporo). Wyrazy złożone powinny być jak najrzadziej stosowane.

Słownictwo
Wiele zmian w słownictwie będzie potrzebnych z powodu zmian w systemie zapisu i fonologii. Oprócz tego chciano usunąć słowa pochodzenia germańskiego i słowiańskiego na rzecz słów z języków romańskich, ze względu na romański charakter esperanto.

Q: Why the request.user is AnonymousUser in my django-facebook canvas application? I am developing a Facebook canvas application using the frameworks django_facebook.

I want to save the user data in my local database.

@facebook_required(canvas=True)
def home(request,graph):

    facebook = FacebookUserConverter(graph)
    facebook_converter = FacebookUserConverter(graph)
    user_data = facebook_converter.facebook_registration_data(graph.get('me'    ['username'])
    print request.user //AnonymousUser
    facebook_converter.get_and_store_friends(request.user) //This creates error

And it gives me error "[Errno 10061] No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it"
When I trace back, I found that request.user is AnonymousUser.

A: This happens when user is not logged in.
request.user by default is a SimpleLazyObject which evaluates to the logged in user, if user is logged in. If not, it evaluates to AnonymousUser hence the error.

Chris Jericho Produced A Documentary About The Story Of 1980's Metal Band SIREN
Fozzy frontman and former WWE Heavyweight Champion Chris Jericho has worn many hats of his illustrious career, and now documentary producer is one.
Jericho helped bring to life a new documentary titled "I'm Too Old For This Sh*t: A Heavy Metal Fairy Tale". It's about Siren, a 1980's Florida metal band that released one album and then broke up. Little did they know that they had a massive following overseas and 30+ years later they get invited to play a massive metal festival in Germany.
When discussing why he decided to produce the documentary Jericho said, "I've been playing in bands for 35 years and I've never heard a story like SIREN's.
"We all had bands in high school that we felt would tour the world and sell a million records, but most of them break up by senior year and never do. However, SIREN was different. In the early '80s, they had a ton of buzz and a shitload of talent, but typical inner band politics broke them up and most of the guys never played in another group again.
"But here's where it gets weird. Unbeknownst to the guys, over the next 30 years, SIREN's fanbase was building to the point of getting an offer to play a major festival in Europe in 2018 — over three decades after they broke up.
"When I heard this story, I figured it would go one of two ways — it would be a major shit show or the best feel-good story ever. That's why I sent a camera crew to document their adventure. What we got for this movie was even more than I could imagine.
"Some dreams never die, and 'I'm Too Old For This Sh*t' proves that to be true!"
The official synopsis for the movie is:
Back in 1983, Tampa, Florida's SIREN was set to take over the world of heavy metal. But when a string of bad luck, shady business deals and inner politics led to the band's demise, the five members gave up their dreams of being rock stars and embraced their realities of life in the real world.
"However, unbeknownst to them, over the ensuing decades, SIREN amassed a sizeable fanbase overseas. 30 years after the band's breakup, a massive fan tracked the members down online and offered them a slot at the Keep It True festival, one of Germany's biggest annual heavy metal gatherings.
"After much soul searching and reconciliation, the five members of SIREN put aside their animosity, reunited the band and embraced their last chance to make their rock and roll dreams come true.
"It isn't easy being a 50-something part-time musician trying to navigate the airports, highways, worldwide stages and social media platforms of the modern-day entertainment world. But while they may be older, the lessons learned, friendships rekindled and dreams reborn during their journey, makes SIREN young again as they experience this heavy metal fairy tale for the ages!"
You can purchase the movie thru iTunes between January 1st-3rd for $6.99 during their flash sale, and then it goes back to $12.99. You can view the trailer below:

MC wrote, it seems, at least two novels (her canon is still under debate), and translated and adapted the work of others as a matter of business. The sentimental tone of her original work, Felicia to Charlotte, 1744, perfectly caught the current taste, and made her a great success. She also wrote what is probably the earliest book of stories for children. Since all her publications were anonymous, they used often to be attributed to her husband.

(TELESUR) – The National Constituent Assembly (ANC) of Venezuela approved on Tuesday a decree to lift parliamentary immunity and the continuation of the prosecution of self-proclaimed opposition deputy Juan Guaidó.
The president of the ANC, Diosdado Cabello, read the decree authorizing "the prosecution of the citizen Juan Gerardo Antonio Guaidó Márquez (…) in accordance with the provisions of Article 200 of the Constitution of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela".
"The continuation of the trial is formally authorized and that our justice, in accordance with the Constitution and the law, is in charge of applying the mechanisms established in the different criminal procedural codes," he said and ordered the publication of the decree in the Official Gazette and the notification of the same to the TSJ.
The president of the Venezuelan Supreme Court, Maikel Moreno, made the request to the legislative body on Monday when he declared Guaidó in contempt of the sentence issued by the Supreme Court on January 29, which established certain prohibitions.
A copy of the TSJ's request was also sent to the country's attorney general, Tarek William Saab, "for the purpose of the continuation of the procedure for the prosecution of senior officials," provided in the regulations of the judicial body.

Monsoon Woman
Wouldn't Take No for an Answer
by Laxmi Lall
I learned that I could leave behind a set of circumstances but the issues would follow me. I am not a victim but a survivor and a winner. I feel empowered and want to speak out. I have chosen to write my story using the lens of overt and subtle discrimination based on race, gender and age, some of which have been wrapped up in domestic violence and religious control. My experiences are not new but they are my own. I do believe that most of the behaviours and words I write about are based on people's 'ignorance' of not knowing how others live and feel; of having been fed on images and stereotypes by various forms of media and versions of history written by 'colonising victors' or patriarchs, both religious and societal, about people living in other countries without having taken the time to understand or approach each person as a unique and wonderful human being.
Monsoon Woman tells the story of Laxmi Lall, a self-made woman who escaped domestic violence and religious control to carve a new life. She educated herself and ascended the corporate ladder; her struggles with domestic and religious control were replaced by the triple whammy of sexism, racism, and ultimately, ageism. Lall recounts her story starting as a child of privilege, living in mansions with a retinue of household staff, with her father, a high-ranking army officer and her mother, a society lady. She persisted through two unhappy marriages and the cruel and unusual punishments they brought. She tells how she earned her experiences the hard way in corporate life. Lall won despite the systemic obstacles placed in her path directly and indirectly by an unreflective patriarchy and the deep-rooted ethnocentrism of the mid- to late twentieth century and early twenty-first century. This memoir chronicles how Lall reinvented herself. She has found her passion working for women's rights as well while gaining the freedom to follow her dreams. While first, second, and third waves of feminism have blunted the voices of migrant women, she remains a feminist and is an advocate for diversity and equity for women and a campaigner to end domestic violence.
Laxmi Lall immigrated to Australia in the early 1970s as a young, married mother. Soon after, she left an abusive husband, taking her four-year-old daughter with her and experienced poverty, racist abuse, and sexism. She later earned two master's degrees and worked for ASX100 and international organizations developing cultural change and diversity programs. Through her counselling practice and advocacy work, Lall supports, empowers, and challenges women to take control of their futures.


There was an explosion at the military base in Ulsan in South Korea, probably because of the non-compliance of the safety regulations. 20 people were injured, 5 of them were hospitalized.
The incident has happened against the background of tripartite consultations between Washington, Seoul and Tokyo. And South Korean Prime Minister Hwang Kyo-ahn said that "cyberwar with North Korea has already begun".
Hwang Kyo-ahn emphasized that some cyber threats were from Pyongyang, adding that at the moment South Korea did not have the sufficient capacity to prevent them, because even the computer of the Minister of Defence was damaged. Despite the fact that among the examples of North Korea's cyber warfare Hwang Kyo-ahn gave several examples of not only intelligence, but also actions aimed at disabling the military equipment. About the possible fault of other countries in the explosion at the base Ulsan is not reported.
