Q: How do I make a circular tree with multiple root trees Using the C converted to python Radial Positions algorithm from this question, I have been successful in creating a radial graph based on a root node, all the way to the last child of each node. Now I have a new problem where I have multiple root nodes and will need them to be centered around the first root found, or at least a center point.
The closest example I've found is this graph:

So far all I could think of was for each root node found, multiply it by it's index and add the x position with a y radius. So far it hasn't worked out too well as I the children nodes do not follow it. I've been stumped on this for a few days now.
def RadialPositions(node, id):

    children_in_node = len(timelinedatta.neighbors(id, mode="out"))

    def rotate_node(x, y, nangle):
        nx = x * math.cos(nangle) - y * math.sin(nangle)
        ny = x * math.sin(nangle) + y * math.cos(nangle)
        return nx, ny

    def get_depth(id):
        count = 0
        for v in timelinedatta.bfsiter(id, mode="in", advanced=True):
            count = count + 1
        return count - 1

    if len(timelinedatta.neighbors(id, mode="out")) > 0 and len(timelinedatta.neighbors(id, mode="in")) == 0:
        node["positions"] = (0, 0)

    node["depth"] = get_depth(id)

    node_children_list = []

    for child in timelinedatta.neighbors(id, mode="out"):
        node_children_list.append((child, timelinedatta.vs[child]))

    for idx, (child_node_id, child_node) in enumerate(node_children_list, start=0):

        centerAdjust = 0

        if timelinedatta.neighbors(id, mode="in"):
            centerAdjust = (-node["angleRange"] + node["angleRange"] / children_in_node) / 2

        child_node["depth"] = get_depth(child_node_id)
        child_depth = child_node["depth"]

        child_node["nodeAngle"] = node["nodeAngle"] + node["angleRange"] / children_in_node * idx + centerAdjust
        child_node["angleRange"] = node["angleRange"] / children_in_node

        nx = rotate_node(40 * child_depth, 0, child_node["nodeAngle"])[0]
        ny = rotate_node(40 * child_depth, 0, child_node["nodeAngle"])[1]

        child_node["positions"] = [2 * nx, 2 * ny]

        RadialPositions(child_node, child_node_id)

I have an example of my graph here on pastebin as well

A: You can use graphviz (as suggested by @thoku) with the neato layout engine (man neato):

neato draws undirected graphs using a spring model and reducing the related energy (see Kamada and Kawai, Information Processing Letters 31:1, April 1989).

For instance, the example
from graphviz import Digraph

tree = Digraph(engine='neato')

tree.node('root1',"R1")
tree.node('root2',"R2")
tree.node('root3',"R3")
tree.node('root4',"R4")
tree.edge('root1','root2')
tree.edge('root1','root3')
tree.edge('root3','root4')

tree.node('child11',"C11")
tree.node('child12',"C12")
tree.node('child13',"C13")
tree.edge('root1','child11')
tree.edge('root1','child12')
tree.edge('root1','child13')

tree.node('child21',"C21")
tree.node('child22',"C22")
tree.edge('root2','child21')
tree.edge('root2','child22')

tree.node('child31',"C31")
tree.node('child32',"C32")
tree.edge('root3','child31')
tree.edge('root3','child32')

tree.node('child41',"C41")
tree.node('child42',"C42")
tree.node('child43',"C43")
tree.edge('root4','child41')
tree.edge('root4','child42')
tree.edge('root4','child43')

tree.render("tree")

generates the following output:

Gran Canaria enjoys good weather and a very mild climate most of the year. It is considered one of the best in the world. In summer, the temperature does not exceed 26 to 28 C, while in winter, temperatures usually don't drop below 16°C. Even during the winter months it's very nice, not to compare with the harsh winters of Europe. The island has a sub-tropical climate with a feeling of eternal spring. Gran Canaria is also known as the miniature continent due to its several microclimates and the considerable regional differences in rainfall and temperature.
All this is because the central peaks (maximum height in the Pozo de las Nieves 1949 m) act as a barrier against the humid winds trade winds. Therefore, the area is so lush in the north and so dry and arid in the south. The prevailing winds of the north-east deposit brings rain to the north of the island, leaving the south-west mostly without any rain. The contrast caused by the difference in rainfall is remarkable when you're driving around the island. Sometimes, you can change from sunbathing on the beach to play in the snow on the peaks in just an hour´s drive. All of this allows the practice of any outdoor sport almost throughout the year.
The sea water temperature is usually warm and varies between 18°C in winter and 22°C in summer. For this reason you can enjoy the beaches throughout the year, especially in the south of the island. The trade winds sent by the ocean gently cool down the island.
Gran Canaria faces days of Calima. This is an airborne dust from the Sahara Desert (just 220km away). When this happens, everything becomes covered with a thin reddish dust and temperatures rise.
The sun is guaranteed in the summer from about April to October, especially in the south of the island. Gran Canaria receives winter rains mainly in the north. At night however, temperatures cool down, making it advisable to always take a jacket with you.


When California voters read Proposition 28's ballot title, they overwhelmingly support the June 5th measure. Yet, once voters get more details as to what the ballot initiative really does, that robust support not only dissolves, it completely reverses.
Hearing that, voter support dive-bombed to a mere 28 percent, with almost twice as many, 49 percent, opposed. Gee whiz, the wording voters see on the ballot really matters.
This phraseology comes from then-state attorney general, now Gov. Jerry Brown, who wrote this title two years ago, ably making it seem Prop 28 would toughen the limits, while the measure, in fact, actually weakened the limits.
So, what does this measure actually do?
If Prop 28 passes, the maximum time a legislator could spend in both houses will, indeed, be ever-so-slightly reduced from 14 to 12 years. Currently, a politician may serve six years in the House and eight in the Senate. Also, a politician termed out of one house may — voters willing — switch to the other, for a total of 14 years service. Prop 28 would indeed cut the total possible time in the Assembly down by two years. But it's a trade-off, allowing members to serve the full 12 years in one house, effectively doubling the House limit and weakening the Senate limit by 50 percent. So who benefits more from this politic swap? The voters who want to limit politicians' time in service, or politicians, who want to maximize their time in power?
An analysis by U.S. Term Limits found that few legislators will likely have their time in office reduced, since few legislators now swap houses. Though many politicians termed-out in one chamber certainly attempt to win a seat in the other, only 8 percent have successfully done so to hit the limits in both.
Thus, legislators will entrench in one chamber and stay for 12 years. That means the despised seniority system can once again strike deep roots. Already, the 37,691,912 people living in the Golden State are represented, or misrepresented, by too few legislators — just 80 state assemblymen and 40 senators. With dramatically weakened term limits, the power and duration of legislative leaders will climb, eclipsing the influence of the average representative and leaving a mere handful of legislators to decide for nearly 38 million people.
So, just who is behind the Prop 28 term limits?
"Proponents contend that existing law doesn't give people enough time in one office to fully master complex issues and the lawmaking process," the Los Angeles Times recently reported.
Gee whiz, sorta sounds like folks opposed to the very idea of term limits.
The biggest donor to the Prop 28 campaign has been the Los Angeles County Federation of Labor, which has given close to a million dollars. The effort's other major source of funding may have been a pay-to-play scheme between state legislators and two crusty crony capitalists trying to build a new NFL stadium. Californians for a Fresh Start, the campaign committee behind this suspicious squeeze play, pulled in $400,000 from Ed Roski Jr's Majestic Realty and $100,000 from L.A. Live Properties, billionaire Philip Anschutz's company, to put this measure on the ballot just as the Legislature granted both men exemptions from environmental regulations to build an NFL stadium.
Granted, one of Prop 28's main advocates is the League of Women Voters, hardly a draconian-sounding special interest. But then again, for decades the League has been the most consistent and vocal opponent of term limits.
Everyone who hates term limits absolutely adores the "tougher limits" of Prop 28.
Mr. Fleischman's claim that "the proponents of the measure are longtime opponents of term limits, who have long wanted to roll back California's voter-approved legislative term limits" is obvious. But will the voters of California know?
Liberty Initiative Fund — for which I serve as president — recently contributed $100,000 to help alert Californians to the rotten trick being played on them. We hope to reach enough voters with the truth about Prop 28's anti-term limits impact, that the measure will fail — but good.
If voters only read the misleading ballot title, the politicians will surely succeed in tricking the very voters they are supposed to represent.
Thus, making an air-tight case for the need for term limits.
Californians for Term Limits' Jon Fleischman calls Prop 28 "a sham." U.S Term Limits President Philip Blumel calls it "a scam." I call it one heck of an argument for tougher term limits.


At 567 Framing, the time ranges from 1-2 weeks to 1-2 days. It depends on the frame, design and artwork condition.
How to choose the right frame for your photo?
Therefore, a well-made photo frame with the right size will not only protect the sweet moment but also bring emphasis and highlights to those precious memories. So, "What is the right size for a photo?" will be a big question when customers standing in front of the wall of frames.
When we think of frames the first thing that comes up in our mind is a simple border that goes around a painting, hanging on a wall, used as a decoration to our home and workplace. However, there is much more than that. The art of framing goes beyond the classical wooden structure.
In the early years of history, framing has been used as a way to decorate art pieces such as portraits and other art works, the use of framing has never been considered by artists to be used as early as 2nd century A.D., however this technique was already been adopted to embellish their paintings.
The term "fitting" refers to the process of assembling all the items that goes into the frame, backing and hanging hardware.
Framing Supplies - What do you need for framing?
As for framing artwork, there is a variety of lingo and terms to learn: rabbet, moulding and points, to name a few. Today we gonna discuss about part of them including matting, glazing, spacers and mounting artwork and board types, which is also about the framing process that 567 framing works on.
We will talk about different types of frames including floater frames, diploma frames, photo frames, 3D objects, shadow box frames as well as poster frames for your masterpieces.
For maximum print longevity, it is extremely important to display your print under some type of glazing, either glass or Plexiglas (Acrylic). Glazing protects the print from harmful UV wavelengths which tend to fade prints more quickly.


Prospecting and welcoming foreign economic players or foreign-funded companies with an adapted property offer (management of a dedicated place), an ideal work environment and successful collaborations.
Promoting and supporting prospecting actions internationally.
Coordinating a cooperation strategy in the Sarre-Lor-Lux-Wallonie Great Region, the Lorraine and Great East Region, the Sillon Lorrain, and QuattroPole to have a real impact at the international stage.
Creating a brand/signature for the territory, present internationally, and provided by all the partners.


It's always fun to look back and see what our most popular countertop colors were from the previous year.
We have seen a steady increase in Carrara marble over the past 3 years. It was even more popular in 2012. It seemed like we were always doing something out of Carrara last year. Whether it was a kitchen, bath vanity or a fireplace.
We also did a lot of other white marbles such as Calacatta and Statuary, but I wouldn't put them in our top 10 sellers like the Carrara is.
If you use Carrara (or any marble) you do need to be aware that it will etch. You can read more about etching here.
This is one of our favorite Carrara marble kitchens that we did last year. You can read more about it here. Photo: MGS by Design.
Giallo Ornamental has been one of our most popular colors for about three years now. Here in Utah the price is really good on it. I've heard in other parts of the country that it can be pretty expensive.
The overall reason for it's popularity is that it's neutral and light.
We did this beautiful vanity for Stacy at Not JUST a Housewife last fall. Photo: MGS by Design.
Several brands have been popular for us, so I've generalized it to say that White quartz was one of our top 10 most popular countertops last year.
We actually did this amazing bathroom in 2011. The countertops are Pure White CaesarStone. See more pictures here. Photo: MGS by Design.
Kashmire White may just have been our very most popular granite in 2012. The price on it has been fantastic, the slabs are large and the color is the beautiful white and grey that are so popular. It can have a creamy off white color in it as well, which a lot of people really like.
I've really liked using this color more and hope that we continue to sell a lot of it in 2013.
This is a Parade Home we did last summer. The island is Kashmire White granite and the perimeter counters are Misty Carrera CaesarStone. See more pics of this beautiful home here. Photo: MGS by Design.
Just like the white quartz, I'm generalizing again saying Grey quartz.
I absolutely loved this contemporary kitchen that we did out of Concrete CaesarStone, you can see more of it here. Photo: MGS by Design.
Are you seeing a trend yet? LOTS of white and grey!
Super White quartzite is more expensive than marble but it's also much more durable. We used a lot of Super White last year and I expect that we'll being seeing even more of it in 2013.
This gorgeous kitchen combined Super White with Carrara marble. See more pics here. Photo: MGS by Design.
Notice how there weren't any dark browns, blacks and golds on the list? That's not to say we didn't do these colors last year, but they definitely weren't our top sellers. Crazy how trends change isn't it?
What colors did you use last year? Did you expect to see something on our list that wasn't there?
This is totally fascinating to me. It seemed like forever all you were seeing was black and dark countertops ... soapstone, absolute black granite, that kind of thing and the lighter countertops were kind of novel. Of course now that I think about it, three years ago when we were thinking about redoing the kitchen (but didn't), I was all set to go with dark gray countertops. Now that we're looking at really doing the kitchen all I can think of is white countertops. So here's my bold prediction: In two years this list will be full of darks again.
I agree Erin. It's my prediction too. I think we'll be tearing out a lot of marble kitchens in 5-10 years when new homeowners come in and don't like the maintenance and/or how the marble has aged.
What has the feedback been from the everyday use o Kashmir White granite? I was ready to purchase for my kitchen them got scared after reading reviews saying it was extremely porous and easy to stain. What have you heard? I really want to use it!
In regards to staining, I've heard complaints online as well. In real life though I have not had one client complain.
Lighter colors are more porous than darker more dense granites...but they shouldn't be too easy to stain.
Make sure your slab has been resined at the factory and that you keep it sealed and you should be just fine.


We've previously covered the efforts of Washington University in creating wireless communicating printed objects. The university created a range of objects that could communicate with other objects without electricity, conveying basic information using antennae. Now, researchers are applying the same principle to in brand new ways to track object usage. These new wireless self-track objects use two antennae to convey relatively complex information.
One of the devices the team is developing is a medicine container bottle that can relay its usage times and info. The team previously created objects like containers that could inform the user when it is running low. While the old devices could only relay basic info, these new ones make use of the two antennae to relay more complex stuff into the wi-fi signals. Take for example the medicine bottle: it has an antenna to detect when it opens and another to detect when it closes. This allows the researchers to gather data about usage times, recording both instances.
Similarly, the researchers are working on an insulin pen that could monitor its usage and signal when it's running low. Since people may use their insulin pens outside of wi-fi range, they needed a comprehensive solution. They decided on altering the physical design of the gears to store the data physically using those gears. It stores that information by rolling up a spring inside a ratchet that can only move in one direction.
Each time someone pushes the button, the spring gets tighter. It can't unwind until the user releases the ratchet, hopefully when in range of the backscatter sensor. Then, as the spring unwinds, it moves a gear that triggers a switch to contact an antenna repeatedly as the gear turns. Each contact is counted to determine how many times the user pressed the button.
The researchers will present their findings on Oct. 15 at the ACM Symposium on User Interface Software and Technology in Berlin. These sorts of applications are unique to 3D printing and advance the uses of the technology. The research is coming along in new ways and developing more complexity.

90-year-old woman battles to save Turkey's loggerhead turtles
By Robin Gauldie, for CNN • Published 4th April 2014
"No turtle, no pay," says the boatman as we arrive at the Iztuzu jetty, where visitors are embarking on tours of the lagoon in search of loggerhead turtles.
Iztuzu lies on Turkey's Dalyan Delta, an almost-tropical maze of river channels, pools and reed beds that once doubled for east Africa in the 1951 film "The African Queen," starring Humphrey Bogart and Katharine Hepburn.
Its beautiful stretches of unspoiled sand are as much a draw for tourists as, for the past 100,000 years, they have been for turtles.
That both tourists and turtles can still enjoy those beaches today is largely thanks the efforts of one remarkable woman: June Haimoff.
Royal backing
In the mid-1980s, plans were drawn up for an 1,800-bed hotel that would have wiped out the turtles.
But the developers hadn't reckoned on Haimoff.
MORE: 6 Turkish adventures beyond the beaches and bazaars
The English ballet dancer, painter and singer fell in love with Iztuzu during a sailing trip in 1975 and moved into a simple wooden hut here eight years later to live among fisherman, who nicknamed her "Kaptan June."
She also fell in love with the loggerheads, launching a campaign to save the beach that won global support -- including the backing of Prince Philip, the husband of Britain's Queen Elizabeth and then president of the World Wide Fund for Nature.
The ancient ruins of Kaunos lie within reach of the Dalyan river delta.
gototurkey.com
The campaign led to the cancellation of the hotel project and what Haimoff praises as an "intelligent and courageous" decision by the Turkish government to make Iztuzu a specially protected area.
"I began it alone, but I didn't do it alone," she tells me.
Now 90, Haimoff no longer lives on the beach, but in nearby Dalyan town, with an extended family of cats and dogs.
She continues to campaign on behalf of the beach and its inhabitants through the Kaptan June Sea Turtle Conservation Foundation.
"The battle has not been won," she says.
Propeller threat
Today, Iztuzu's loggerheads are threatened by their own popularity.
More than 600 motor boats now ply the river, ferrying visitors hoping to glimpse them or to view Kaunos, a ruined city built 2,500 years ago by the Lycians, who also built rock tombs in the cliffs overhead.

But unless the boats are fitted with propeller guards -- those that are carry the foundation's logo -- the turtles are at risk of injury.
Cafe owners often toss leftovers into the water to attract them, but the food scraps can do more harm than good, making the turtles ill or deterring them from heading out to sea where they're at less risk of injury from boats or from hypothermia in winter.
Conservationists want to see turtle feeding banned before this year's season starts.
"The Dalyan Delta is not a zoo," says Haimoff, who is also campaigning against the construction of a giant metal turtle sculpture within a protected nesting area.
A visit to the Sea Turtle Research, Rescue and Rehabilitation Center, where injured turtles are cared for, is enough to convince most visitors.
Those hoping for a glimpse of the amphibians in the water are unlikely to be disappointed.
Luring loggerheads
Turkey's Dalyan Delta is a maze of river channels, pools and reed beds.
Turtles are easy enough to spot if you come to Iztuzu -- or other protected turtle beaches such as Patara or Cirali, on the surrounding coast -- in early summer.
About 300 females still bury their eggs in the sand here in May.
The female hatchlings that scramble into the Aegean Sea around 80 days later spend 20 years at sea before returning to Iztuzu as mature adults, each up to a meter in length and weighing 135 kilograms, to lay their own eggs.
MORE: Best restaurants in Istanbul
The turtles have become a nice little earner for Dalyan, a fact celebrated in the town's center by a life-size sculpture of a loggerhead.
Among those benefiting are the boatmen.
It takes about 45 minutes to chug down to Iztuzu from Dalyan aboard one of the boats operated by the Dalyan Boatmens' Cooperative and costs 10 Turkish lire ($4.50).
At the Iztuzu jetty, where boatmen offer turtle spotting trips for an extra five lire, we putter over to where a couple of local fishermen are casting lines baited with crabs, hoping to lure a loggerhead.
The crabs have vivid red and turquoise claws and are a Dalyan delicacy.
Loggerheads like them too, and after 10 minutes we (and five other boatloads of sightseers) are rewarded by a glimpse of a massive, big-eyed turtle taking the bait in its beak.
Smartphones flash, and everyone goes home happy -- especially the boatman, who pockets a 100 lire bonus.

US Jobs Loss to Overseas May Be a Deadly Place to Work | Markhoff & Mittman, P.C.
With so many American jobs being lost to other countries, there are a lot of bitter feelings towards companies that do not keep jobs in the US. In addition to the initial loss of work on American soil, there is insult added to injury when stories of sweatshop working conditions among contractors with major US companies like Apple surface in the headlines.
It was nearly six years ago that a newspaper profiled the terrible working conditions surrounding subcontractor factories assembling products for Apple. Workers were living and working in such squalid condition that they were incurring serious injuries and even dying on the job. Injuries and deaths were occurring at an alarming rate and newspapers were reporting the lack of action on the part of Apple.
While Apple is a huge, well-known corporation, it is likely not the only one turning a blind eye to unhealthy work environments even in our own country or state. With a shaky economy, employers are looking to cut costs and some of those cuts may to the safety and health standards of their workplace. Cutting costs may mean skimping on safety measures and treating workers unfairly just to earn a profit.
This is not an uncommon situation and you don't have to travel to China to see it happen. Many work-related injuries are caused by employer neglect including failure to employ adequate staff, failure to train staff, and failure to provide updated protective equipment. Even small cuts to safety measures in a workplace can lead to serious accidents and even fatalities on the job.


I am an Australian freelance writer and journalist, currently living in Quito, Ecuador.
New shoes? A souvenir for home? Don't worry; Quito's got you covered. While it may be a small city, Quito is home to a great variety of shopping hubs – from bustling second hand markets to up-market boutique stores.
Here are the top picks for all shopping occasions.
Ipiales is a warren of pocket-sized stalls, overflowing with discount sport shoes, women's clothes and Tupperware. It's a bit of a mishmash but if you're up for the mission, you'll find the market has bargain prices on almost everything. The front section of the market mainly sells shoes, with boots, runners and sandals dangling from every corner, with prices starting from around US$10. Push further and you'll arrive at the electronics and kitchenware section, which perhaps might not seem so useful – unless you're in need of new headphones, computer cords or a thermos. But most tourists visit Ipiales just for the experience of a local market. You'll be jostled, offered chicles, sold clothes on the sidewalk. And if you're lucky, you might even find a bargain.
Goodbye ramshackle markets, hello luminous, air-conditioned shopping centre. For a completely, different shopping experience, pay a visit to Quicentro, where top-hatted concierges help you find your way and security guards lurk outside Ralph Lauren and Nine West. Like all malls and shopping centres, it has its advantages and disadvantages. On the one hand, you can find international labels like Zara, Pull & Bear and Berksha – all inside the one neat, acclimatized space. On the other hand, you do miss out on the authentic Quito flavor. Outside, people might be selling fried banana and ice cream, but inside you are in a different world, far removed from the reality of most everyday Quiteños. That said; it is a good go-to place for anything specialty or niche that you're unlikely to find at a market.
Every weekend, this sprawling park is taken over by local artists and artisans. The perimeter is lined with bright canvases of abstract, modern art while further inwards, you will find jewellery and other knickknacks. Perhaps of most interest is the hand-woven traditional clothing. You can find shirts, dresses and pants all made with the distinctive thick and colourful fabric of the native Quechua people.
For six years, the owners of Galeria Ecuado have been working to bring together the best of Ecuador's home-grown products – particularly in coffee and chocolate. The store has an enviable collection of native coffee beans, from the award-winning Bosque Nublado to Mujures, a coffee cultivated solely by women. Coffee experts are on hand to give you a detailed explanation of each blend and a taste-test of your choice. Tea lovers will also be pleased to know there is also a selection of herbal and fruit infusions – with exotic infusions like apple, Jamaica and carrot. Single infusions cost around US$2 or US$7 fro 25 grams. But it is hard to go past the chocolate. Pacari chocolate is considered to be the best chocolate in Ecuador and one of the best in the world. It is made with a special type of cocoa that only grows in a few locations across the globe – Ecuador being one of them. With this delicate cocoa, Pacari makes all sorts of flavour combos such as dark chocolate and lemongrass, cacao and banana chips and hand pulled Andean caramel. You can nibble on a small square 50c or take home a large box of US$18.70. Before leaving, take a look at the upstairs café (in Centro Histórico) and sign up to a chocolate or coffee-tasting experience.
Open every day, these indoor markets have over 100 stalls filled with colourful Ecuadorian arts and crafts. As well as the traditional wallets, bags and scarves, you can find hammocks for US$15, Alpaca-wool shawls for US$18 and lots of cute clothing for kids around US$10.


Your business card defines your company and gives it personality. Be very careful on what kind of card you create as many people will judge you by the type of business card you give out. So if it is at all possible try not to go the free business card route. But if you have no other option available, below are some guidelines you can use to make your card count.
Making your own business cards doesn't have to be that difficult. You can make a simple card with or without graphics with the right software. The good news, you don't need software to make them. All you need is Microsoft Word. So let's get started making our free cards.
Step 2. Select "Business Card" in the "Product number" menu and hit OK.
Step 3. Choose new document. A label template with the correct margins for a business card will appear.
Step 4. Next, choose "picture" from the "insert menu" and browse through your files for a photo of yourself or your logo that you will want to add to your business card. Photo or logo will always make you business card stand out. In this economy, this is what you want to do. Stand out.
Step 5. Now, it's time to adjust the photo or logo you just selected. You want the photo to fit your business card perfectly. You want people to tell what the photo is, without it being too large that it takes up most of your card.
Step 6. Once you've got your photo on your card, it's time to choose your font. Then type your name and business address. Next, add your e-mail address, fax number- if you have one- and phone number. Some will add a cell number as well, that's up to the individual.
Step 7. Copy and paste your design into the space on all the pages. Each page will have a number of "business cards" on it. Paste into each one of the boxes.
Step 8. Before your print anything, remember to do a print preview. This way if you need to make changes you can. The last thing you want to do is waste ink and paper.
Step 9. If you're happy with how your business card looks, save the design. It's good to save after very step so you don't lose anything.
Step 10. Add your business cards into your printer. Hit print when you're ready to print everything out. If you don't have a good enough printer or materials, go to a printing store to have them printed out. Most stores will cut you a good deal.
Congratulations! You are now ready to hand out your business cards to potential clients.


When the attack on Republican lawmakers at a Congressional baseball practice occurred Wednesday, the nation again witnessed that a good guy with a gun stops a bad guy with a gun. Yet rather than acknowledge that fact—and it is a fact—the left began blaming Congress for not passing more gun control, even as a Congressman was still bleeding on the field.
Think about it—people on the left responded immediately by blaming the victim for a violent crime that was carried out by a deranged left-wing zealot. The left's reaction is the result of a complete abandonment of common decency. To them, somebody getting shot in a highly publicized setting is just another opportunity to push their gun control agenda.
In short, those on the left do not see people; they see an opportunity to advance their cause.
But this is how ideologues conduct themselves: They put the success of their ideology above the safety and well-being of people. They will even put their ideology above the safety and well-being of the very people they claim to be protecting. That is why the late Russell Kirk, a man of letters who was steeped in learning, warned again and again that ideologues were the most dangerous of individuals—that they tend to use their power or positions of prominence to harm the very people they claim to cherish.
But the left is not listening to people like Kirk. Instead, they are listening to the very ideologues he warned about. Trump haters push protests past the limit of decency, with media fanning the hateful flames. People like Kathy Griffin and those who produce New York Public Theater's Shakespeare in the Park series, whose goal is to divide the country, then use the division to their political benefit. Such division births animosity, which grows into hatred that can erupt into the kind of violence we saw when 66-year-old James T. Hodgkinson opened fire on the GOP lawmakers.
To them, somebody getting shot in a highly publicized setting is just another opportunity to push their gun control agenda.Division necessarily produces some degree of animosity between the divided parties. History bears this out. While politicians on the left have frequently stoked divisions in our country based on race, income or religion, today's ideologues stoke division based on all these things combined. The outcome—violence, violence and more violence.
In fact, criminal violence is so random these days, you never know when or where an attack may occur. It could be at a nightclub, a church, a community college, a convenience store, your own home or your place of employment. Today it was at a Congressional baseball practice. And no matter what the left tweets or how many times they tweet it, the only thing that stopped more carnage was a good guy with a gun.
Our prayers are to the people who were wounded and our thanks are to the police officers, including the Alexandria Police, who arrived very quickly, and who attacked—and I can't emphasize this enough—they attacked the shooter, and that saved our lives.
But as the old saying goes, "Haters gonna hate." And so despite Barton's firsthand account of how good guys with guns stopped a bad guy with a gun today, the left is trying to spin the attack into a push for more gun control—into putting even more limits on law-abiding citizens' ability to acquire and possess the guns they need for self-defense.
Our focus should be that of Rep. Barton. God bless those who were wounded. God bless their families as well.

Q: Can't extract html, css, js and images from pug file [webpack] I'm using pug v2.0.4, webpack v5.75.0 and node v14.15.4 for dev reasons. This is the interested code:
---
title: "Core - Dashboard Builder"
classSidebarHome: active
pageTitle: "Dashboard"
classHeader: unauthorized
---
extends layouts/layout
block content...

And this is my webpack.config.js:
const path = require('path');
const PugPlugin = require('pug-plugin');

module.exports = {
    mode: 'none',
    entry: {
        index: './src/pug/index.pug',
    },
    output: {
        path: path.resolve(__dirname, 'dist'),
        publicPath: '/',
        filename: 'assets/js/[name].[contenthash:8].js'
    },
    module: {
        rules: [
            {
                test: /\.pug$/,
                loader: PugPlugin.loader, // default method is 'render'
            },
            {
                test: /\.(css|sass|scss)$/,
                use: ['style-loader', 'css-loader', 'sass-loader']
            },
            {
                test: /\.(png|jpg|jpeg|ico)/,
                type: 'asset/resource',
                generator: {
                    // output filename of images
                    filename: 'assets/img/[name].[hash:8][ext]',
                },
            }
        ]
    },
    plugins: [
        new PugPlugin({
            extractCss: {
                // output filename of CSS files
                filename: 'assets/css/[name].[contenthash:8].css'
            },
        }),
    ],
    devServer: {
        static: './src'
    }
};

Instead this is my src folder structure:

*

*src [root]

*img [2nd-tier]

*js [2nd-tier]

*pug [2nd-tier]

*sass [2nd-tier]

When I run webpack (aka npm run build) the result is an unexpected text error near "Core..." and also if I remove the "variables" from pug file because they are not variables I can't extract assets from entry file and src folder.
What's the problem? Is there someone who can help me reviewing my webpack code? I would like to understand where I'm wrong.

Sumit Padmakar Joshi, Vice Chairman and Managing Director of Signify�s operations in India at the launch Interact IoT Platform in India (Bangalore)
Signify launches Interact IoT Platform in India
Bangalore, December 20 2018: Signify (formerly known as Philips Lighting), has launched its new Internet of Things (IoT) platform, called Interact in India.
This will enable its professional customers to unlock the full potential of connected lighting for the IoT. The platform delivers new insights to help customers drive operational efficiencies and take more effective decisions.
Signify has already installed 29 million connected light points worldwide and plans for every new LED product it produces to be connectable by 2020. This growing number of connected light points, sensors and devices, as well as systems, can collect large volumes of data for which Interact was designed to handle. The highly secure, scalable cloud-based Interact platform uses sophisticated and modern data management and data processing capabilities, including machine learning, to bring sense to all manner of data – creating data-enabled services for customers that will deliver benefits beyond illumination. It also offers a growing suite of licensed open application program interfaces (APIs) which will foster innovation from third-party developers, development partners and customers, enabling various data enabled services to be developed.
A typical example of such a service is occupancy data from different buildings, combined and analyzed to help managers to understand and predict how people use office space. Such insights can help deliver savings by optimizing the use of existing office space and support better designed, more efficient buildings.
In addition, data from authorized third-parties can also be analyzed by Interact. For example, for a municipal authority, news articles and social media posts, reacting to a new lighting installation on a bridge, can be analyzed and data sent to a social impact app dashboard that summarizes the public sentiment.
Says Sumit Padmakar Joshi, Vice Chairman and Managing Director of Signify's operations in India: "First, we led the way in energy efficient LED lighting, then in connecting lighting to deliver operational benefits for our customers. Now that light points are smart enough to collect data on their performance and the environment around them, we are tapping into that intelligence. By analyzing the data from our connected lights, devices and systems, our goal is to create safer cities, energy efficient buildings and industries and smarter retail stores in the country. We are confident that this platform will deliver immense value for our professional lighting customers in India".
Interact connected lighting systems: These connected lighting systems, offering a unified user experience, feature applications that address industry-specific verticals. Available now are:
· Interact Office – enables you to turn your office into a smart sustainable workspace with software that allows you to increase building efficiency and employee productivity.
· Interact City – helps improve street lighting, safety, reduce energy consumption, improve efficiency and support your sustainability goals and beautify the urban landscape across roads.
· Interact Retail - enables customers to group, zone and schedule connected lighting to create stopping power in stores. It also supports in-store location-based marketing services to increase shopper engagement and indoor navigation to improve staff productivity.
· Interact Landmark – aids in managing and triggering light shows with dynamic architectural lighting to help increase tourism, regenerate downtown areas, and stimulate commerce.
· Interact Sports – aids in monitoring, managing and coordinating across all lighting infrastructure from a single dashboard from pitch lighting, entertainment light shows, hospitality areas and exterior architectural lighting.
· Interact Pro - an intuitive cloud-based software for small and medium enterprises that automates lighting and allows management via the Interact Pro dashboard.
Signify became the new company name of Philips Lighting as of May 16, 2018

A DKIII: The Master Race #9 Review – The Dark Knight Reboots
TITLE: Dark Knight III: The Master Race #9
AUTHORS: Brian Azzarello, Frank Miller
PENCILLERS: Andy Kubert, Miller
***WARNING: Spoilers lay ahead.***
Well, there it is. May as well have called this one The Dark Knight Reboots. For all intents and purposes, that's what it was. There's no official word on a DKIV story going forward. But given what we saw here, it seems pretty damn likely. Between this and the incorporation of Watchmen into the canonical DC Universe, they just can't help but play the hits. For better or worse…
This issue sees Batman, Superman, Batgirl (Carrie Kelley), Lara the Supergirl, and the other heroes have their final confrontation with Quar and the Kryptonian invaders. Afterward, the Dark Knight Universe has a new status quo. Especially now that Bruce Wayne has been revitalized via the Lazarus Pit. So where do our heroes go from here?
Let's start with the positives. This issue, and the DKIII main story overall, were really well illustrated. Andy Kubert has been able to meld his style with just enough vintage Frank Miller to make this a unique presentation. Even Miller himself, when working on the mini-comics we got in each issue, was able to settle into a groove. His art has been widely derided in recent years. But while he started off shoddily, it's been quite awhile since I've enjoyed his art this much.
Ray Palmer/The Atom has a really nice moment in this issue where he gets to thwart some of the bad guys. It was clever the way they incorporated Ray into all of this. So to see him "get his win back" in the end was cool.
I also liked what they did with Green Lantern. A little corny? Yes. But he had a great little sub-plot about defeat and redemption. And when you consider one of Green Lantern's original creators, Martin Nodell, took inspiration from Aladdin and the magic lamp, it makes a kind of sense.
Maybe the reason I'm so into this new take on Green Lantern is because when you close DKIII, it's one of the few things left that's really and truly different about this universe. Yes, certain supporting characters are absent. And we've got Lara and Carrie in the picture, along with Clark and Diana's young son. But think about it. We don't even have that old, gritty, Clint Eastwood-style Batman anymore, now that Bruce has gone through the Lazarus Pit. The Justice League is essentially back together now. What's left to do in this universe now?
Various points in this story felt like we were gearing up for a passing of the torch. Carrie Kelley becomes Gotham's protector, while Lara takes over for her Superman. In the end, they pay that off with Carrie becoming Batwoman and teaming with Bruce. Then in our mini-comic, we see Lara is now under the tutelage of her father. This feels like they were didn't want to remove Batman and Superman, for fear of how it would effect sales going forward. I can understand that. But the ending of this story feels so safe and sub-par anyway, that they may have made that sacrifice regardless.
So why not just go for it? Why not kill the Bruce Wayne character? The Joker had an iconic death scene in The Dark Knight Returns. You can take a crack at doing the same thing with Bruce here. Given how old he is, it's getting more and more contrived to have him keep coming back in the Batsuit. So have him die in Superman's arms in issue #6 or #7, prompting Carrie to officially take over for him as Batwoman. There's an argument to be made for that being the ending DKR should have had.
Then, if you must bring Bruce back via the Lazarus Pit, have it be in DKIV. We can see him challenge Carrie for Gotham City, the effects of the pit having driven him insane.
Many a reader, myself included, has criticized Frank Miller for the bizarre and even offensive choices he made in The Dark Knight Strikes Again and All-Star Batman and Robin. But I'll always credit Miller with being willing to take risks with his art. In the end, DKIII feels like they went too far in the other direction. The Dark Knight Returns has become a timeless piece of art. DKIII seems mostly like something thrown together by editors so that DC can continue to cash in on the team of Frank Miller and Batman. It's a missed opportunity. With Brian Azzarello, Andy Kubert, and all these other supremely talented creators on board, they could have made something that allowed DC to sell more books, Instead we got something that feels largely hollow.

Van Gogh murder designed to 'terrorise Dutch society'
Thursday January 27, 2005 Mohammed Bouyeri
AMSTERDAM — A public prosecutor told a high-security court in Amsterdam on Wednesday that terrorism is now a reality in the Netherlands. The murder of filmmaker Theo van Gogh, he said, was a catalyst to drive a wedge between different sections of Dutch society.
Prosecutor Frits van Straelen said letters left behind by the suspected killer Mohammed B. and electronic surveillance pointed to a link between him and 11 other Muslim men who are in custody on terrorist charges. Their cases are being kept separate from the Van Gogh murder trial.

But it was clear, he said, that a small number of Muslim men had decided to take the "fatal path" of terrorising society and drive a wedge between different groups.
He was addressing Amsterdam-Osdorp court during a preliminary sitting of the case against B.
B., 26, with Dutch and Moroccan nationality, is charged with murdering Van Gogh, attempting to kill several police officers and bystanders "with a terrorist aim" on 2 November 2004 . He is also charged with possession of a gun and knives during the incident.
He is further charged with hindering the work of parliamentarian Ayaan Hirsi Ali, who went into hiding as a result of threats to her life made in a letter left pinned to Van Gogh's body. Van Straelen said the murder was in part designed as a warning to Hirsi Ali, a vocal critic of aspects of Islam.
Hirsi Ali and Van Gogh worked together on the short film Submission, which suggested Islam tolerates and in some cases supports domestic violence against women.
Van Gogh's parents and brother were among the people attending the hearing in the high-security complex that is known as the "Bunker". B. opted not to come to court and remained in his cell in a prison near The Hague.
The case began shortly after 10am and was broadcast with a 15-minute delay on television station Nederland 2.
Van Straelen gave a brief summary of the State's case against B.
He described how Van Gogh was cycling from his house to his production company when he was intercepted by his killer outside the municipal building on the Linnaeusstraat in the east of Amsterdam shortly before 9am on 2 November last year.
The attacker shot four times before Van Gogh fell or jumped off his bicycle. Van Gogh ran across the road with the killer in pursuit, again firing his weapon.
Van Straelen said van Gogh fell on the bicycle path and pleaded for mercy, asking the man to stop shooting.
Witnesses described how the man shot Van Gogh again from a distance of about half a metre. He then produced a large knife and cut Van Gogh's throat before plunging the knife into his chest. He then took a smaller knife from a bag he was carrying and used it to pin a letter to Van Gogh's body.
Van Straelen said witness described how the killer calmly reloaded his weapon before walking towards the public park Oosterpark. A short time later he fired on police and bystanders. He was shot in the leg and arrested.
The prosecutor said the calm way the killer reloaded the gun indicated that he had some training in the use of firearms.
The investigation into the case is still ongoing. One of the major issues to be clarified was whether B. acted alone or whether others helped in the murder.
Van Straelen said witnesses statements gave rise to the suspicion that others were involved. Some witnesses had come forward to say they saw other men in the vicinity of the Linnaeusstraat or near Van Gogh's home prior to the killing.
One witness claimed to have seen B. talking to two other men in a market shortly before the murder.
Van Straelen said no clear evidence had yet been found to confirm these sightings.

Talented singers and musicians from South Queensferry stepped into the limelight recently.
A host of youngsters competed in the local heat of the Rotary Young Musician and Vocalist Competition 2018 at Kirkliston Parish Church on Tuesday, January 23.
Organised by the Rotary Club of South Queensferry, nominations were invited from schools and professional music teachers.
And there was no shortage of talented pupils nominated to take part.
Queensferry Rotary Club speaker secretary Morag McCallum said: "There is so much young talent in Queensferry and Kirkliston, it's lovely to be able to showcase it in this way.
The local heat provided young musicians under the age of 18 with the opportunity to display their talents, both vocally and instrumentally.
For some, it was their first experience of performing in front of an audience but none shied away from the challenge.
Youngsters' families, their sponsoring teachers and Rotarians were there to cheer them on and members of the public were also invited along.
Their presence in the audience added very much to the sense of occasion for the performing young musicians.
And it certainly was an event when the pupils performed in Kirkliston.
Morag said: "The standard was very high.
"The vocalists' judge Aaron Calder praised the singers on their articulation and their clear melody lines.
"He also congratulated them on their performances and the way they told the story of the songs.
"Fellow judge Stephen Dennis congratulated the musicians on their confidence and their range and strength, as well as their attention to detail and their way of bringing out the mood and character of the music.
Aaron Calder is currently teaching music at Bathgate Academy and has led and conducted numerous choirs, as well as composing music for film.
Stephen Dennis is Director of Music at Merchiston Castle School.
His primary interests are electronic, popular and jazz music and Stephen also released his debut album in 2016.
Both judges had a tough job on their hands on the night but, in the end, winners had to be selected.
In the Musician Category, the results were as follows: 1. Laurie Whike on Cornet playing Silver Threads among the Gold by Rimmer; 2 James Haxton on Piano playing Don't Stop Me Now by Queen; 3 Sam Jones on Violin playing Danse Paysanne by Moffat.
And in the Vocalist Category, the results were: 1 Kathryn Hope singing Burn (from 'Hamilton') by Miranda; 2 Alexander Melville singing Danny Boy from the traditional arrangement; 3 Harry Manson singing She's Like the Swallow from the traditional arrangement by Strommen.
All of the students are at Queensferry High School and were accompanied by curriculum leader Cat Eunson, along with teachers Flic Sim and Lily Stroud.
The winning singers and instrumentalists will now go forward to the Edinburgh City and East Area Final at Heriot Watt University, Lecture Theatre 4, onFebruary 14.
And aptly for Valentine's Day, the local entries are hoping the judges will fall in love with their performances once again!
The District 1020 final will then be held in Heriot Watt University, James Watt Theatre, on Sunday, March 11.
This will be followed by the Region 1 Final in the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland on Sunday, April 22. And the winners there will be invited to the Grand Final on Saturday, May 19, at Heriot Watt University in Edinburgh.
The final event will be organised by the Rotary Club of Currie Balerno.
Queensferry Rotarians are keeping their fingers crossed that a local youngster or two will be there to fly the flag for the town. Anyone who heard the rich seam of musical talent in Kirkliston last month would not be surprised to see a Queesnferry High School student there.
One thing's for sue, it's an event not to be missed!
The National Young Musician Competition is now a well-established and successful competition promoted by Rotary International in Great Britain and Ireland.
It is open to all levels, grades and styles of young instrumentalists and vocalists.
There are four stages, each designed to support and encourage the development of musical talent.
each category are entered into the district finals.
Organised by Rotary Districts. In the case of a high number of entrants, it may be necessary to hold preliminary rounds prior to a district final.
The winners of each category (and, at the discretion of the organisers, the runners-up) are then entered into a regional final.
Organised by Rotary between mid-February and March. The winners only of each category at this event are entered into the national final.
In 2018, the National Final will be held on Saturday, May 19, at Heriot Watt University, Edinburgh Campus.
At all stages of the competition, competitors receive a certificate of participation.
At the National Final, a trophy will be presented to the winner in each category – the Rotary Young Musician title is presented to one vocalist and one instrumentalist.
In 2017, around 800 Rotary Clubs participated giving 8000 young musicians a platform.


So this evening while lazing on the couch I asked my house help 'Arti' to get Cherries from the fridge and she asked me "cheerrey, wo laal laal chote tamatar jaisa?" (those red small tomatoes right?). Without caring for an answer she brought me a bowl full of juicy red cherries. I passed her a handful and I started to gobble down the rest of it myself, totally engrossed in the movie "Desi Boyz" that was airing on a TV channel. Only a minute later came another question "Isme kya faayda hai" (What are its benefits?) and I knew she wanted an answer to this one. I was intrigued for one brief moment but then unable to recall any specific benefit of the fruit I plainly answered "Health ke liye accha hai" (It's good for health) and turned back to my movie that was already nearing it's end.
Once the movie was over I went to the kitche, gave Arti instructions for dinner and topped all the remaining Cherries in my bowl with loads of Honey. I picked my Laptop and turned it on for the first time in the day, while it was still booting i popped in a few honey dipped cherries, so delicious they were that i quickly finished up my bowl. All the while that I was watching the movie somewhere at the back of my mind I was wondering, what benefits would 'Cherry' have. I usually like to know my fruit well, its benefits, its vitamin or mineral content etc. My guess was that it should be a high source of Iron for its Dark Red colour and Vitamin C for its slight tang , but I was soon to be proved wrong. In times like these one should not guess for we have an easy rescue at our disposal, it's the "GOOGLE" obviously.
I was happy to know that something I love to eat comes with an added health benefit. Health and taste together in my each bite of the pulpy, juicy, sweet Cherry!
Here are the links to the articles which are the source of all the information given above. You might enjoy reading them in detail yourself.
Ps:- I did later go to the kitchen to flaunt my new gained knowledge and advised Arti to have Cherries often as it would help her with the Arthritic pain.


One of the most important things to do when it comes to buying the right insurance policy is comparing deals from multiple insurance companies. By comparing different quotes and insurance deals, you should be able to spot the most beneficial insurance policy to purchase according to your needs and preferences. In this article, we are going to discuss the aspects to consider when you are comparing auto insurance policies.
For starters, make sure you look into the amount of comprehensive and collision coverage provided by each individual car insurance policy. You need to be certain that the insurance policies you are comparing are all offering the right amount of coverage that you need.
Instead of comparing insurance premiums right away, you should look into added benefits offered by the insurance policy. For example, a good auto insurance policy might offer roadside assistance, rental insurance, and several other added benefits as part of the coverage offered. At this point, you should be able to rate the insurance deals based on their benefits.
Once you have completed the previous two steps, you can start comparing insurance premiums right away. It is certainly not wise to settle for the cheapest car insurance because you need to have the best coverage your money can buy. Don't hesitate to pay a little extra in order to get all the coverage you need.
Now that you know how you can compare car insurance policies easily, you can get started right away and purchase the best car insurance in no time.

The National Black United Front (NBUF) is an African-American organization formed in the late 1970s in Brooklyn, New York. Its headquarters are in South Shore, Chicago, Illinois.

It has been described as Christian, Left-leaning, somewhat Black nationalist and working in the tradition of the Million Man March and Malcolm X. The organization held its 30th annual convention from July 16 to July 19, 2009 in Chicago, Illinois.

Philosophy and Mission Statement
The National Black United Front (NBUF) was officially founded in 1980 in Brooklyn, New York after being hindered by assassinations and FBI counterintelligence work of the 1970s. A politically radical, grass-roots organization supporting the Pan-African movement championed by Marcus Garvey, the NBUF focuses on the advancement of all people of African descent. They have been described as "comfortable and adamant in defining a racial history and racial solidarity," and they focus on controversial issues and pressing inequalities. These issues include demanding reparations for ancestors of slaves, disaster relief, prison reform, advocating Afrikan-centered education, get out the vote campaigns, and a petition to the United Nations that the United States has and continues to commit genocide against African Americans.

Community involvement and other activities
They have aided in criminal justice cases, including the release of exonerated death-row inmate Clarence Brandley and involvement in the Shaka Sankofa case, hold Sankofa Study Circles to teach black history, host various black artists through the Black Arts Movement, participate in the Feed the Hood Project, and are involved in the Haitian outreach program (Haitian Ministries formed by one of NBUF'S past National Secretaries and member of the Houston chapter).  The NBUF also sponsors cultural programs, including the Frontlines Album Project, sponsorship of annual Kwanzaa Programs, and African Liberation Day activities. Internationally, the NBUF was involved with the Free South Africa Movement, supported Prime Minister Maurice Bishop of Grenada, and donated to victims of the mass slaughter in Rwanda.

The National Black United Front Human Rights and Genocide Campaign is a Petition/Declaration to the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights of the United Nations in Geneva, Switzerland. The Petition/Declaration of more than 200,000 signatures of African people who agree that the U.S. government has committed and continues to commit genocide against the African population in the United States has been a major focus of the Campaign. In the submission of the Petition/Declaration, they also submitted preliminary information in a 38 count indictment against the United States for a variety of Human Rights violations against African people in the country.  The NBUF also recently become a certified organization with the National Black Federation of Charities, an arm of the National Black United Fund, Inc. and are now able to receive donations through payroll deduction from people in the federal workplace throughout the world.

Controversy
Some controversy has surrounded the NBUF during its existence.  Early in its formation, female activists involved with the organization, including Loretta Ross, Nkenge Touré, and Jamala Rogers, felt resistance in the form of sexism from other leaders within the organization. There was a difficult struggle to form a women's section, and the most blatant manifestation of sexism came in the resistance to sending a delegation from the NBUF to the 1985 Decade for Women Conference in Nairobi, Kenya. Those against sending a delegation argued the women were "abandoning the black struggle and blindly following the white feminist movement," going so far as to boo the women at the NBUF conference that year. The NBUF sisters did end up attending the conference and made a significant contribution by networking with African women from all over the world and presenting a paper on "The Presence of African Women in America." Jamala Rogers offered another example of sexism, stating that when the St. Louis branch of a different organization, the Organization for Black Struggle, merged with the NBUF St. Louis chapter, they eventually broke off from the NBUF due to issues of patriarchy and sectarianism. More recently, NBUF leader Dr. Charles Worrill has been criticized for his extreme political militancy and for continuing to support and work with the controversial Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan, who is also known for extreme anti-Semitic remarks.

Important People and Chapters

Notable People
Dr. Conrad Worrill: chairman of NBUF until 2009, educator, newspaper columnist, community organizer, and radio talk-show host, critic of racism and exponent of economic and political enfranchisement for Black people.

Rev. Jew Don Boney: Activist and politician, won City Council seat in Houston, Texas, with NBUF help Served on city council until 2001 and afterwards was appointed Associate Director of the Mickey Leland Center on World Hunger and Peace at Texas Southern University. There he administered the Center's widely acclaimed leadership development programs, including the Texas Legislative Internship, the Mickey Leland Congressional Internship and the Mickey Leland International Enhancement Program for study abroad opportunities.

Rev. Herbert Daughtry: "The People's Pastor," Founding chairman of NBUF.  National Presiding Minister of The House of the Lord Churches (1958-2019), founder and president of the African People's Christian Organization

I don't really remember how and why it started. I was 18 and it was a few months before high-school graduation. I remember it was a time when nothing I did was good enough, smart or beautiful enough. I wasn't good and beautiful enough.
I never was overweight, but in my home country, girls back hen used to be so skinny that a healthy athletic body like mine was unacceptable, or so I thought. I decided to be on a diet and failed. I was so unhappy and disssapointed of myself that I started thinking of possibilites.. and there it was. Easy and fast, or so I thought. I became a bulimic when I was 18 and only 10 years after that, I was able to say that I finally fought it.
It was a time to rediscover a lot about myself and what I wanted to do.
If you asked me what changed me and made me finally really want to care for myself and my well-being-I cannot give you a proper answer. I want to be healthy and strong, so I can enjoy life and the people who love me. I want to help them and not ever again be a burden to them.
I do not even remember what changed the evil pattern.. maybe the fact that I started doing martial arts and also jogging. Or maybe the day when I saw my hair becoming thicker and my nails prettier. Maybe it was the day, when I realised that I want to live and no longer destroy myself. Maybe it was all, or a completely other reason.
I do not remember when this moment was, but I am thankful that it happened!
I am thankful to my amazing strong body and teeth because after these ten years of torture, I am still strong, my skin and hair are healthy and my teeth are in a best possible shape.
I don't know who prevented bulimia damaging my body.. nor what made this turn in my thoughts and perception of who I am and what I want. All I know is that one day I changed my priorities and made the choice to be a hero and save the world, and to never be a victim again.
I hope from the bottom of my heart that anyone in the world who suffers from bulimia will wake up one day and will learn to love themselves unconditionally. I hope they will be proud of themselves for the amazing personalities they are, and not for the bag of skin and bones that they have been trying to turn into.

You are right, I like running into troubles. You are absolutely right, that's because I am only protecting what I thought is mine and I am not afraid to speak up my mind. I'm sorry for being not good enough, for being not suitable to you like what you are always telling when I am being a nagger and when I always caught you off guard. I'm sorry for expecting too much from you, maybe I really did get my hopes too high and I depended my happiness on you cause I thought you are the man whom I could depend on and the man that I've been praying for but I was totally wrong.
