In the PlayStation 3 video game Heavy Rain: The Origami Killer, four protagonists are on the hunt for a serial killer who murders young boys and leave behind his calling card… an origami animal. One of those animals, and the one prominently displayed on the cover art and poster art for the game, is the pajarita. Pajarita in Spanish for little bird (or even just origami in general).
The pajarita is a simple origami bird to fold, and you only need one sheet of origami paper. Make sure its sides are the same color, and if not, start making a blintz fold to make a square with sides of the same color. Watch the video to see the folding process, and download the pajarito template here.

Q: Latex Chronology Timeline Error? There seems to be an error within the Chronology package. Or maybe I am making an obvious error myself?
The following is a minimal example of the problem.

The second box, rather than being drawn as a box, is drawn is a point at the actual end point of the defined box. Changing the start from 11 to 10.99 resolves the issue. But that does not seem to be an apropriate solution? Does anyone have an idea?

Home Article Massa Piece Theater.
Massa Piece Theater.
by Tim Fernholz
Despite the fact that just a few days ago he vociferously denied that he was leaving Congress because of an ethics investigation, Rep. Eric Massa is now claiming that his resignation was engineered by Democratic leaders in order to have one less vote to find for health-care reform. Why Massa would give into this pressure now after spending his legislative career happily ignoring leadership is a question that remains unanswered.
Ever-credulous arbiters of conventional wisdom like ABC's The Note are happy to ignore his past statement and stretch the story to somehow connect with the legislative wheeling and dealing in the health-care bill. Never mind that, for no good reason, these same folks see the reconciliation process -- designed to remove some of those same provisions -- as controversial.
It's hard to see how Massa's allegations will hinder the push for the health-care reform bill -- he was not particularly popular among the House Democrats who are at the center of the current effort. But in case anyone is going to take his appearance on Glenn Beck's show even remotely seriously, it might be nice to recall these comments from 2007:
In fact, the major force separating us is the hate speech and misuse of public airwaves from the likes of Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Glen Beck and Bill O'Reilly – none of whom ever wore a uniform – all of whom attack any Veteran who disagrees with Decider-in-Chief - George Bush.
Misuse of public airwaves, indeed.

Dempsey Expected to Make Debut Saturday
By SPNW Staff August 10, 2013 Updated: August 9, 2013 No Comments10 Mins Read
Clint Dempsey, signed by the Sounders to a $41 million contract, is expected to make his debut with Seattle in Toronto Saturday. / Drew Sellers, Sportspress Northwest
MATCH: Seattle Sounders FC (9-7-4, 31 points, 7th, MLS West) at Toronto FC (4-10-8, 20 points, 9th, MLS East. TYPE: MLS. WHEN: Saturday, 4 p.m, BMO Field. MEETING: 7th (Sounders lead 5-1-1). TV: KONG. RADIO: 97.3 KIRO FM; SPANISH: KOMO2 (Comcast Ch. 114) and La Gran D 99.3 FM.
Head coach Sigi Schmid only hinted at how much Clint Dempsey will play Saturday in Toronto, but the Sounders have already started to realize a return on the $41 million investment they made in the 30-year-old Texan. Within hours of his signing earlier this week, the Sounders generated an additional 6,000 ticket sales for their next home match, Aug. 25 vs. Portland.
With that, the Sounders are expected to exceed the 66,452 that they drew for the Timbers Oct. 7, 2012. If so, it will rank as the second-largest crowd ever for an MLS game. A crowd of 69,225 saw a match between the L.A. Galaxy and the NY/NJ Metrostars in 1996. The anticipation is a sellout of the Clink's capacity at 72,000.
Before the Sounders can stage a welcome party, they have to play two road matches, starting in Toronto Saturday. Dempsey will bring quite a portfolio to the match:
Captain of the U.S. National Team.
Second all-time on the U.S. team with 35 goals.
Ninth in U.S. history with 12 assists and 13th with 99 caps.
Second player in U.S. soccer history to score in consecutive World Cups with an equalizer against England June 12, 2010.
Five goals in eight starts for the U.S. in 2013, and led the team in goals the past two years.
U.S. Soccer Male Athlete of the Year three times, including the past two years.
Holds the record for most goals (57) by an American in the English Premier League (matching the next three Americans in England combined: Brian McBride, Roy Wegerle, and a tie between Joe-Max Moore and Carlos Bocanegra).
While the Sounders are riding a nine-match (6-0-3) unbeaten run at CenturyLink Field (no losses since the home opener March 2), they have struggled away from home, going 3-6-1 with a -7 goal differential. The Sounders have lost the past three road games.
"It has to be a thing where it becomes a theme," said defender Brad Evans. "Not just nine games unbeaten and we take it for granted. It has to be something that carries on. That's something that other teams recognize."
Toronto is riding a three-match unbeaten run, including two straight victories.
The Sounders have the most matches remaining (14) of any MLS team. Nine are against Western Conference foes, with all but one of those teams currently ahead of the Sounders in the standings.
"I think everybody realizes that we have the potential to get to the playoffs – that's where we need to get to," said Schmid. "We need to put ourselves in a good position and then make noise. Last year, the two fifth-place teams ended up playing for MLS Cup. We are, point-wise, not in the playoff picture. When you look at points per game, we're pretty close."
That's part of what prompted the signing of Dempsey.
"The likelihood of him (Dempsey ) going 90 minutes Saturday is very small," said Schmid. "Whether that's starting and coming off or coming on as a sub, we'll have to see."
The match will be the lone meeting of the season between the sides, and Seattle enters it with four straight wins against the Reds. Seattle is expected to start Marcus Hahnemann in goal, as Michael Gspurning is still healing a sprained forearm.
Led by first-year manager Ryan Nelson, Toronto is eighth in the Eastern Conference with 20 points (4-10-8). Toronto has struggled at home, going 2-3-6 with a -1 goal differential (14/15), but is unbeaten in the past three (1-0-2) at BMO Field.
Despite the addition of English Premier League veteran Robert Earnshaw, the club has sputtered offensively, ranking near the bottom of the league in goals (17th), assists (18th), shots (19th) and shots on goal (17th).
Earnshaw leads with six goals, despite not playing the last three games because of injury, while Bobby Convey and Jeremy Brockie have three assists apiece. Goalkeeper Joseph Bendik has played all 22 games and is just outside the top 10 with a 1.32 goals against average. The Reds have yet to win a game against a Western Conference side (0-5-2) this season.
The Sounders have not made an official announcement, but Sports Illustrated reported that Eddie Johnson and Evans will be called away from the Sounders Wednesday for the USA-Bosnia road friendly. Dempsey will apparently not join the U.S. team for the match.
With the friendly scheduled for Eastern Europe, it's hard to tell how this will impact Seattle's situation for the road match next Saturday Houston.
"I've said to Jurgen (U.S. national team coach Jurgen Klinsmann) he's making my job harder trying to get into the playoffs if he keeps grabbing players from me," Schmid said this week. "But it is what it is. I'd rather have players of that quality than not have players of that quality, but there are certain sacrifices you've got to make along with that."

Dolores 'Riordan sounded in good spirits simply hours before The Cranberries singer's shocking demise at age forty six on Monday (Jan. It's the first time that he performs on the very same stage in a singular conjunction with an awesome star of the Israeli musical scene, Miri Mesika. With their help, the band will carry out, in an innovative way, each their authentic works and variations of Jewish songs and poems written by the authors who lived and worked the top of the 18th and beginning of the twentieth century, including Mordekhai Gebirtig and David Edelstadt.
Spacey's lengthy history of alleged sexual abuse towards minors has now been made public, but when his improper conduct was sufficient to shut down certainly one of Singer's units, it is extremely reckless of Singer to have labored with him once more a decade in a while Superman Returns. Some musicians and singers work for nonprofit organizations that depend on donations, authorities funding, and corporate sponsorships, along with ticket gross sales, to fund their work.
This requires making professional quality demos that highlight the singer's finest qualities, and developing contacts with music directors, music agents, conductors, songwriters and music producers. Music occasions throughout the festival are essential, however the meetings with the pageant's friends, the jazz artists, are as essential. The project ASEMAN – THE PLACE MUSIC CROSSES BORDERS" is a results of creative cooperation of ASEMAN BAND – the Israeli artist dwelling in New York, Hadar Noiberg and Iranian artists dwelling in Vienna.
Musicians and singers need to work properly with quite a lot of folks, reminiscent of agents, music producers, conductors, and different musicians. Rolf Kühn will perform in a new challenge "Clarinet Summit" - initiated by Adam Baruch, inventive director of Singer Jazz Pageant. This 12 months's version of the Pageant will historically be inaugurated by the live performance the the Nożyk Synagogue, where we will hear probably the most prominent representatives of the klezmer and cantoral music.
In Singer's words: Costing of those restorations has been dependent on the consumer's wishes and additional details might be mentioned with Singer." Which is a nice approach of claiming: quite a bit." Given the businesses 'common' restorations regularly break the $500,000 barrier, go for all the new lightweighting and performance-enhancing prospects and a seven-determine tag here can't be dominated out.


The article below was published in South-North Development Monitor (SUNS) #8832, 25 January 2019.
We thank SUNS and IPS for permission to re-distribute this article.
Kikwit, DR Congo, Jan (IPS/Badylon Kawanda Bakiman) — It was almost four years ago in 2015 that members of Farmer's Frame of Idiofa (FFI), a farmers' group in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), produced a mere eight tonnes of sweet potatoes on two hectares of land.
But the main reason for the low yield had not necessarily been a climate-related one, but an educational one.
"Thanks to the knowledge about agricultural techniques learnt from Farmer Field School, FFI has produced 30 tonnes of sweet potato in 2017 from a field of two hectares," says Albert Kukotisa, chairman of FFI, from Kikwit, Kwilu province in southwest DRC.
FFI's group of farmers are just some of those across the country who are learning new farming techniques thanks to the Farmer Field School (FFS) – an initiative by the Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations (FAO).
The field schools are not necessarily a new concept. According to a survey, they were first introduced in 1989 in Indonesia where schools were developed to help farmers deal with pesticide-induced problems.
And while they are also not new to the DRC, they are proving an effective way to educate and assist farmers.
He says the involvement of farmers themselves in the training process is also new.
With the FFS, however, farmers are not just told about new techniques and research, they are able to implement it also.
Each week, a group of 20 to 25 farmers meet in a local field and under the guidance of a trained facilitator they implement new farming techniques.
Facilitators have various backgrounds and can include extension workers, employees from NGOs or previously- trained farmers.
"In groups of five they observe and compare two plots over the course of an entire cropping season. One plot follows local conventional methods while the other is used to experiment with what could be considered best practices. The plot of land belongs to a member of the group," Patience Kutanga, an expert, agricultural engineer and one of the trained facilitators, explains.
In a country with 80 million hectares of arable land, "there are more than 50 million farmers in the country with land. Most of them are smallholders," Milambo says.
And according to the same World Bank report, the government is, however, committed to a green revolution, pledging to reduce rural poverty by 2020 through agricultural production systems.
The government allocated 8 percent of its 2016 budget to agriculture.
But Kikwit, the capital and largest city of Kwilu province, and home to some 186,000 people, has only one university with an agronomic faculty.
Farmers and smallholders instead rely on the advice and knowledge of agricultural extension officers.
And now, as Milambo points out, about two million smallholder farmers are working across the country with some 20,000 FFSs.
Francoise Kangala, a 47-year-old farmer of Kongo Central (formerly Bas-Congo) province, explains that he learned a lot from the course, including how to identify the best field for planting his crop and how to choose top seeds.
His increased knowledge showed in the increased harvest.
He said he appreciated learning through practice.
"Together, farmers swap experiences. With the knowledge from FFS and using resilient seeds, I have produced [in 2018] 19 tonnes of maize from a field of one hectare, compared to 7 tonnes in 2016," he says.
Going forward, this increased production by smallholder farmers will be crucial to the country's food security.

Involvement could include cast or crew, or maybe you have a local business which would like to be involved in providing materials or services. We are also planning on having food and drink at the performances and would be interested in hearing from any provider of these.

I don't usually like to just cut and paste reviews from other places in lieu of my own thoughts and commentary. But not only am I running around trying to settle a nasty visa issue this week, but I have also been sitting for months on a stack of amazing compilations from the likes of Sterns and Analog Africa and it's about time I shared one of them. Since this one has a nice, well-written review from BBC, why not let them do the talking while I sip my morning coffee? I will just add: this is great music.
The music made in Guinea during the first two decades after independence from France in 1958 represents some of the most sublime and influential that any West African nation has ever produced. Backed by Sékou Touré's socialist government, groups from every region of the country were encouraged to modernise their ancient musical traditions and were given the financial assistance to do so. And of all the musical riches that this policy unearthed, those of Bembeya Jazz National were the finest.
If you weren't quite convinced by the band's 2002 comeback album Bembeya, and the recent Guitar Fö from their mighty guitarist Sékou Diabaté, this 2-CD compilation really shows what all the fuss was about. It's a thorough selection of their best work for the national Syliphone label, which began releasing local music in the mid 1960s. For those already familiar with compilations like Mémoire de Aboubacar Demba Camara -at least half of which is reproduced here -the first disc, which includes many early singles previously unavailable on CD, will be a revelation.
Highlights? Pretty much the whole damn thing, though it depends on your mood, such is the variety of styles they experimented with. All the ingredients that made their music so wonderful are there on their first single "République Guinée"; the trademark off-key brass section, grooving percussion, Sékou Diabaté's exquisite guitar and the distinctively savoury vocals of Demba Camara. Apart from updating the griot songs of their largely Maninka heritage, the band revelled in outside influences.
Titles like "Sabor de Guajira", "Montuno de la Sierra" and the rumba-flavoured gem "Dagna" illustrate the passion for Cuban music which they shared with many West African musicians of their generation. Likewise, "Mami Wata" is an affectionate nod to Ghanaian highlife, and "Sou" takes a short trip to Cape Verde. The compilation brings us as far as 1976, three years after the death of Demba Camara, by which time their sound was beginning to take on a soukous flavour.

Shoot-up of PG&E station a terrorist act? FBI says no
By SFGate on February 6, 2014 at 4:23 PM
Former FERC chief Jon Wellinghoff
FBI officials are downplaying the possibility that a rifle attack last year on a Pacific Gas and Electric Co. substation south of San Jose may have been a dress rehearsal for a bigger terrorist strike on the power grid.
The incident, which occurred early April 16, involved someone with apparent inside knowledge of the unmanned Metcalf substation. Authorities said the attacker or attackers cut cables that carry 911 and cell phone service about a half hour before firing off more than 100 high-powered rifle rounds to disable transformers at the substation.
Mark Johnson, a former PG&E official, told the Wall Street Journal that the attack was not the work of an amateur. "My personal view is that this was a dress rehearsal'' for a terror strike, he told the newspaper.
The chairman of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission at the time, Jon Wellinghoff, went further, calling it "the most significant incident of domestic terrorism involving the grid that has ever occurred'' in the country.
No one has been arrested and no one took responsibility for the attack, which local authorities initially classified as vandalism. They turned over the investigation late last year to the FBI, which said Thursday that whoever shot up the substation apparently was not a terrorist.
"We do not believe it is related to terrorism," said Peter Lee, spokesman for the San Francisco office of the FBI. He declined to elaborate, saying, "We are conducting an ongoing investigation."
The California Public Utilities Commission said shooter or shooters hit 13 of the 15 transformers at the substation, causing $15.4 million in damage. No one was injured.

Michael Rapaport Offers Update After Missing 'Wendy Williams Show' Due to COVID-19 Diagnosis
When announcing his absence from the daytime talk show, the former star of 'Atypical' says that he's 'really, really disappointed' that he's no longer able to help Wendy Williams' show amid her absence.
AceShowbiz –Michael Rapaport has tested positive for COVID-19. The "Friends" alum offered an update on his condition on social media after having to pull out himself as "The Wendy Williams Show" guest host.
Taking to his Instagram account on Wednesday, January 12, the 51-year-old actor and comedian shared a video of him talking about his experience with the coronavirus. "Hey, guys. I hope everybody's feeling good, I hope everybody's feeling safe, I hope everybody's feeling sane," he began. "This is day two for me with the coronavirus. I feel good."
After saying that he "slept like an m-effer" and joking that he got the "p***y" version of the deadly virus, Michael stressed, "Nonetheless, I feel fine." He also added that he had a "great sleep" due to his health scare.
"I'm feeling pretty good. I'm feeling safe. I'm feeling sane," Michael stressed. He then concluded his video as saying, "I hope everyone is feeling safe, sane and keep your head on a swivel."
Michael first revealed his COVID-19 diagnosis via Instagram on Tuesday. At the time, he admitted to feeling "really disappointed" that he's no longer able to help Wendy Williams' talk show amid her absence.
"I have to pull out of doing 'The Wendy Williams Show' the rest of the week because unfortunately, I got [the] damn coronavirus, which I'm disappointed about," the "Atypical" star said. "I'm really, really disappointed for many, many, many reasons. Obviously, I'm fine and I'll be all right."
Michael went on to assure fans that he's "going to be fine" and he'll "be back" guest-hosting "The Wendy Williams Show" soon enough. "If I can beat this, you can beat this, we can all beat this," he added.
Following his initial announcement, Michael hit back at criticism from anti-vaxxers who mocked him for getting COVID-19 despite being fully vaccinated against the virus. "Nobody said if you get vaccinated you won't catch corona you dumb f**k, you," he said in the video.
Michael was scheduled to host the show through Friday. Amid his absence on Wednesday, the network aired a re-run from December 2 featuring fellow guest hosts Leah Remini and Michelle Visage.
Ahead of the new year, "The Wendy Williams Show" delayed its January return as COVID-19 cases surged due to the highly-transmissible Omicron variant. "Due to the growing number of new COVID-19 cases and to ensure a safe return for our crew members and staff, 'The Wendy Williams Show' will now return with new live episodes on Monday, January 10, rather than Monday, January 3, as previously scheduled," the show announced via Instagram.

Patrick Mercer uses the first-hand account of a renowned junior officer to report on a grim regimental battle fought in the mud of Broodseinde a century ago.
Reconstruction of an officer of the Royal Warwicks at Passchendaele, autumn 1917.
Along with Mons and the Somme, Passchendaele is one of the best-known battles of the First World War. The images of mud, blood, and gore are especially poignant in this centenary year, being commemorated by so many of the old regiments that fought there – foremost among them, the Royal Warwickshires.
Three of the most famous heroes of the Warwickshires were also there: Bernard Montgomery, Bill Slim, and Bruce Bairnsfather's cartoon character, 'Ol' Bill', the archetypal, long-suffering private soldier, an image that – while typifying the British Tommy at war – did so much to raise morale.
A fourth hero was the prolific author Charles Carrington, whose gallant service with the 1/5 Battalion of the Warwicks left a proud scar on the rest of his life. Many of the words below are his.
At first, the numbering of battalions – 1/5, 1/6, and so on – can seem confusing. Having most of the Birmingham conurbation on which to draw for manpower, the Warwicks had four Territorial Force (TF) battalions before the war, numbered 5, 6, 7, and 8, and these were very quickly doubled in strength once hostilities began.
A soldier who enlisted into the TF rather than the Regular Army or the hastily raised Kitchener units joined under different terms of service. So the TF was justly proud of its distinct numbers, and these were styled 1/5 in relation to the first tranche of battalions, then 2/5 as new Territorial battalions were raised in the same area.
The Third Battle of Ypres became synonymous with mud. The Belgian artist Alfred Bastien's famous depiction of Canadian gunners trying to move their guns through the mire captures the awfulness of the fighting conditions.
in the company it always seemed to be the newcomers who were killed. The old hands, now mostly sergeants and corporals, survived everything.
The skinny, sallow, shambling, frightened victims of our industrial system, suffering from the effect of wartime shortages, who were given into our hands, were unrecognisable after six months of good, fresh air and physical training. They looked twice the size and, as we weighed and measured them, I am able to say that they put on an average of one inch in height and one stone in weight during their time with us.
One boy's mother wrote to me complaining that her Johnny was half-starved in the Army and what was I going to do about it. I was able to convince her that Johnny had put on two stone of weight and two inches of height, and had never had so good an appetite before.
Beyond statistical measurement was their change in character, to ruddy, handsome, clear-eyed young men with square shoulders who stood up straight and were afraid of no one, not even the sergeant-major.
Soon redesignated 143rd (Warwickshire) Brigade, they were plunged into what is popularly known as 'the Battle of Passchendaele', in which all four battalions saw serious fighting. However, the little village of Passchendaele, a few miles north-east of Ypres, was only the focus of the last phases of what should properly be known as 'the Third Battle of Ypres'.
All Britain's wartime plans were designed for cooperation with her French allies. The year before, Verdun had inflicted dreadful casualties on both the French and German forces, while losses at the Battle of the Somme had required that the British Army on the Western Front be rebuilt.
By Christmas 1916, Russia was buckling under German pressure, so it was decided that France's planned 'Nivelle Offensive' (as it came to be called) should be supported by a complementary British effort. So, in May 1917, Haig gave orders for another offensive in Flanders.
On 7 June, a preliminary attack was made on the Messines Ridge – just as Russia was launching her Kerensky Offensive on the Eastern Front. Though the Nivelle Offensive had collapsed after three days, the blowback had been a crippling military mutiny that paralysed the French Army and left large sectors of the line wide open. Haig was under tremendous pressure both to support the Russian effort in the east and to divert attention from the French sector in the west.
Canadian machine-gunners make use of shell-holes as emplacements. Enemy artillery were ranged in on all trenches. Men were often safer improvising new defensive positions on the cratered battlefield.
Accordingly, at first light on 31 July, the main Passchendaele Offensive began, with an attack on Pilckem Ridge and then on Westhoek, Hill 70, and Langemarck.
But in shocking weather conditions and against carefully deployed German artillery and reserves, the first phase of the operation had stalled with heavy casualties by the end of August.
Haig nonetheless launched a second phase in September. The aim was no longer rapid advances to break the line, but the slower 'bite and hold' tactics favoured by General Plumer, whose 2nd Army now played a far larger role in the battle alongside Gough's 5th.
These limited advances were meticulously planned and used overwhelming artillery fire to seize key positions and wear the enemy down, but without any immediate expectation of a breakthrough. Supported by reconnaissance planes and forward-observation officers who were right up with the front-line infantry, the artillery was usually decisive. The British took the Menin Road Ridge, held a German counterattack on 25 September, and made real gains at Polygon Wood.
When I returned to camp to find the men in marching order on parade, an orderly thrust into my hand an intelligence report saying that the Germans had doubled their front-line posts. Two German companies were holding the front I was to attack with one… Men going into action support themselves with a sort of hysterical cheerfulness, but no one could be cheerful in the Third Battle of Ypres.
It was now about 20 minutes before zero, which was to be six o'clock. As the shells came faster and faster, crashing into the waste of mud and hedge-stumps which hid our assembled brigade, I could not disguise from myself that the Boches had forestalled us with a full-dress bombardment of our jumping-off line. I began to wonder if a Boche attack was coming, ignorant of ours; or whether (and this frightened me the more) they had learned our plans and would shatter our huddled group.
A British soldier lies low in a captured German emplacement.
It was zero hour and our barrage had fallen, blotting out the German bombardment with a drumfire 40 times as great; there was no more thought or feeling, no more fear or doubt; only an endless blast of sound; a flicker of flame in the sky, a roaring and howling of shells over our heads, and a smoky pall of shrapnel.
We must follow hard on the barrage and be on the enemy before they had recovered from the shock of it. I jumped out of the trench, shouting to my little group, and together we stumbled forwards towards the enemy.
There looms up in front a bank undercut by a row of dugouts, familiar enough from the map. I draw my revolver, but they are smashed and empty. Over and on, behind the thunder and lightning of the barrage (like cannon balls rolling down sheets of iron over our heads). One is thankful for a steel helmet.
Through the tumult I isolate a distinct noise, a spitting, a crackling, like children's fireworks. Rifle bullets! Small arms, indeed! We look about vaguely. It seems already to have grown a little lighter, so that lumps loom up irregularly in front about 30 yards away, half left. Heads!
Three or four Boches in a shell-hole shooting at us! We see them together. Stanley shouts and brandishes his bayonet. Then I see Campbell lying curled up and grey-faced at my feet. Why, he's dead! And, by God, they've hit 'Tiny' Greenwood. He is staggering about and bellowing, his hand on his chest.
Stanley catches and lowers him to the ground behind the stunted ruins of a hedgerow which gives a little cover. Crack, crack, crack come the bullets at 30 yards' range, aimed more distinctly every moment as the light grows and the barrage lifts ahead. The enemy are even near enough to throw a bomb.
'No,' I say, 'get down in this shell-hole,' and I'm right. There is no chance for three men to charge three over the mud and pitfalls. Stanley plucks me by the sleeve and says, 'Aw, come on, sir,' whilst Walker and I get down in the hole and begin to shoot, though Stanley stands and calls us once more.
'Come down, you fool,' I order him. Then he comes down, slithering on the edge of the shell-hole, dropping his rifle with a clatter. A bullet has hit him in the eye, smashing his left brow and cheek bone into a ghastly hole.
I sit stupidly in the half light, not looking at my servant's body, and then imitated Walker, who was firing at the Boches when they showed their heads. I must have emptied my revolver before this time and now picked up Stanley's rifle, coated with mud from fixed bayonet to stock.
With difficulty, I fired a round or two, wrenching at the clogged mechanism after each shot. Walker gave a cry of joy as he got one Boche through the head, but one or two more ran up from neighbouring shell-holes and made the odds still heavier against us.
Still our own guns thundered overhead and now the German guns began to reassert themselves, dropping a few shells experimentally into their own lines, which they guessed had fallen into our hands.
As well as being laced with trenches, the German lines were studded with concrete bunkers.
Carrington continued his duel with the enemy, at first quite convinced that his was the only part of the advance that had not been driven back. Despite the dazed confusion of an officer right at the point of the fighting, Carrington was in the middle of a most effective 'bite and hold' operation.
Finally, a reserve platoon arrived, its Lewis guns raking at the enemy's flank and causing a great gang of 'field-greys' to come running towards him, their hands raised in surrender.
Worried that the rolling barrage had moved on too far beyond his company, Carrington gathered up what was left of his men, took a mixture of other troops, including some New Zealanders from his flank, seized an abandoned German position, and then dug in. Whether he knew it or not, he was conforming exactly to Plumer's tactical plan.
Crouching in muddy trenches and shell-holes brought men into close contact with the dead. The whole battlefield was strewn with human remains.
The popular memory of Passchendaele is of muddle, vainglory, and slaughter. Despite being dazed by the brutality of battle, Carrington shows how victory was won here by good generalship, careful planning, and great bravery from well-led men.
In 1785, the 6th Regiment of Foot had bought for the officers' mess a 'handsome silver snuff-box upon which was emblazoned, "Seek Glory!"'. After Orthez in 1814, Wellington had scratched, 'Huzza for the 6th Regiment – Now Keep Glory'. Amid the shells and mire of Third Ypres, the Royal Warwicks did just that.

Ahed Tamimi Offers Israel a Lesson Worthy of Gandhi
January 11, 2018 UNAC Editor Palestine
Sixteen-year-old Ahed Tamimi may not be what Israelis had in mind when, over many years, they criticised Palestinians for not producing a Mahatma Gandhi or Nelson Mandela.
Eventually, colonised peoples bring to the fore a figure best suited to challenge the rotten values at the core of the society oppressing them. Ahed is well qualified for the task.
She was charged last week with assault and incitement after she slapped two heavily armed Israeli soldiers as they refused to leave the courtyard of her family home in the West Bank village of Nabi Saleh, near Ramallah. Her mother, Nariman, is in detention for filming the incident. The video quickly went viral.
Ahed lashed out shortly after soldiers nearby shot her 15-year-old cousin in the face, seriously injuring him.
Western commentators have largely denied Ahed the kind of effusive support offered to democracy protesters in places such as China and Iran. Nevertheless, this Palestinian schoolgirl – possibly facing a long jail term for defying her oppressors – has quickly become a social media icon.
While Ahed might have been previously unknown to most Israelis, she is a familiar face to Palestinians and campaigners around the world.
For years, she and other villagers have held a weekly confrontation with the Israeli army as it enforces the rule of Jewish settlers over Nabi Saleh. These settlers have forcibly taken over the village's lands and ancient spring, a vital water source for a community that depends on farming.
Distinctive for her irrepressible blonde hair and piercing blue eyes, Ahed has been filmed regularly since she was a small girl confronting soldiers who tower above her. Such scenes inspired one veteran Israeli peace activist to anoint her Palestine's Joan of Arc.
But few Israelis are so enamoured.
Not only does she defy Israeli stereotypes of a Palestinian, she has struck a blow against the self-deception of a highly militarised and masculine culture.
She has also given troubling form to the until-now anonymised Palestinian children Israel accuses of stone-throwing.
Palestinian villages like Nabi Saleh are regularly invaded by soldiers. Children are dragged from their beds in the middle of the night, as happened to Ahed during her arrest last month in retaliation for her slaps. Human rights groups document how children are routinely beaten and tortured in detention.
Many hundreds pass through Israeli jails each year charged with throwing stones. With conviction rates in Israeli military courts of more than 99 percent, the guilt and incarceration of such children is a foregone conclusion.
In this Friday, Jan. 5, 2018 photo, Mohammed Tamimi, Ahed Tamimi's 15-year-old cousin, sits in his family home in Nabi Saleh, recovering from a serious head injury sustained after being shot with a rubber-coated metal bullet in clashes with Israeli troops on Dec. 15. Relatives say Mohammed's injury was one of the triggers for Ahed Tamimi's outburst later that day in which she kicked and slapped two Israeli soldiers. (AP Photo/Majdi Mohammed)
They may be the lucky ones. Over the past 16 years, Israel's army has killed on average 11 children a month.
The video of Ahed, screened repeatedly on Israeli TV, has threatened to upturn Israel's self-image as David fighting an Arab Goliath. This explains the toxic outrage and indignation that has gripped Israel since the video aired.
Predictably, Israeli politicians were incensed. Naftali Bennett, the education minister, called for Ahed to "end her life in jail". Culture minister Miri Regev, a former army spokeswoman, said she felt personally "humiliated" and "crushed" by Ahed.
But more troubling is a media debate that has characterised the soldiers' failure to beat Ahed in response to her slaps as a "national shame".
The venerable television host Yaron London expressed astonishment that the soldiers "refrained from using their weapons" against her, wondering whether they "hesitated out of cowardice".
But far more sinister were the threats from Ben Caspit, a leading Israeli analyst. In a column in Hebrew, he said Ahed's actions made "every Israeli's blood boil". He proposed subjecting her to retribution "in the dark, without witnesses and cameras", adding that his own form of revenge would lead to his certain detention.
That fantasy – of cold-bloodedly violating an incarcerated child – should have sickened every Israeli. And yet Caspit is still safely ensconced in his job.
But aside from exposing the sickness of a society addicted to dehumanising and oppressing Palestinians, including children, Ahed's case raises the troubling question of what kind of resistance Israelis think Palestinians are permitted.
International law, at least, is clear. The United Nations has stated that people under occupation are allowed to use "all available means", including armed struggle, to liberate themselves.
But Ahed, the villagers of Nabi Saleh and many Palestinians like them have preferred to adopt a different strategy – a confrontational, militant civil disobedience. Their resistance defies the occupier's assumption that it is entitled to lord it over Palestinians.
Their approach contrasts strongly with the constant compromises and so-called "security cooperation" accepted by the Palestinian Authority of Mahmoud Abbas.
According to Israeli commentator Gideon Levy, Ahed's case demonstrates that Israelis deny Palestinians the right not only to use rockets, guns, knives or stones, but even to what he mockingly terms an "uprising of slappings".
Ahed and Nabi Saleh have shown that popular unarmed resistance – if it is to discomfort Israel and the world – cannot afford to be passive or polite. It must be fearless, antagonistic and disruptive.
Most of all, it must hold up a mirror to the oppressor. Ahed has exposed the gun-wielding bully lurking in the soul of too many Israelis. That is a lesson worthy of Gandhi or Mandela.

Invesque in the News
Invesque Inc. Reports Third Quarter 2020 Results, Amendment to Corporate Credit Facility and New Framework for Symphony Relationship
Toronto, Ontario, November 11, 2020 – Invesque Inc. (TSX: IVQ.U and IVQ) (the "Company" or "Invesque") today announced its results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020. The Company is also pleased to announce the amendment of Invesque's corporate credit facility and provide an update on the Company's relationship with Symphony Care Network ("SymCare").
Amendment of the Company's Corporate Credit Facility
The Company has modified its senior credit facility led by KeyBank, which includes an incremental surge period through June 30, 2021 (originally scheduled to expire December 31, 2020). The incremental surge period allows the Company to maintain its leverage on the consolidated level with the existing unencumbered asset pool.
Throughout the incremental surge period, the corporate leverage covenant has been increased to 65.0% and the facility pricing has been increased by 15 basis points. Additionally, the Company's fixed charge coverage ratio covenant is permanently reduced from 1.75x to 1.60x.
"We are grateful for the continued commitment and partnership of our bank group," stated Scott Higgs, Chief Financial Officer for the Company. "This credit facility modification provides short-term additional liquidity to execute on our portfolio management initiatives while setting up Invesque for success and stability into the future."
New Framework for SymCare Relationship
The Company has executed a non-binding memorandum of understanding ("MOU") with SymCare. Currently, SymCare operates 16 facilities for the Company under a triple-net ("NNN") lease structure which represents approximately 25% of Invesque's pro-forma net operating income ("NOI").
Under the terms of the MOU, the Company has agreed to sell to SymCare, and/or transition to a new operator, approximately 50% of Invesque's existing assets operated by SymCare. Invesque and SymCare will enter into an amended and restated 15-year, absolute-triple net master lease, with enhanced lease coverage, for the remaining properties to be operated by SymCare (collectively, the "Transaction").
Once the Transaction is consummated, NOI from SymCare will represent less than 15% of the Company's pro-forma NOI. Invesque anticipates closing the Transaction during the first quarter of 2021. As the MOU is non-binding, there are no assurances that the Transaction will be completed on the terms contemplated in the MOU or at all.

Invesque's management team has remained in close contact with the Company's operating partners regarding the current and prospective impact of COVID-19. As of November 6, 2020, the Company has confirmed that 77 of its 105 seniors housing and skilled nursing properties have been impacted by COVID-19 based on positive test results for either residents or staff members over the last few months. Of the 77 impacted communities, 40 are subject to NNN lease agreements. Also, as of November 6, 2020, there were only 28 total patients or residents with COVID-19 being treated and quarantined in the Company's communities. The current rate of incidences in the Company's portfolio is significantly below peak activity observed across the portfolio in mid-May and has been substantially similar since the first week of July. The cases currently being observed in the Company's skilled nursing facilities are primarily admissions of COVID-19 patients from hospitals to improve capacity in local health systems and are being cared for in dedicated COVID-19 units.
"The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted every operator within our portfolio in one way or another," commented Adlai Chester, Chief Investment Officer for the Company. "The number of COVID-19 cases directly impacting our communities has remained consistent for several months now. Many of our operators have implemented protocols to allow families to visit with residents and patients in our communities, and families seeking assisted living and post-acute care can tour many Invesque communities. While a vaccine will provide the greatest level of confidence to completely re-open all of our communities, we are encouraged by the steps our operators have taken to resume activities that create some semblance of normalcy. We will continue to support our operators however we can as they recover from the COVID-19 pandemic."

This press release contains forward-looking information that reflects the current expectations of management about the future results and opportunities for the Company, including without limitation information with respect to the restructuring of the Company's relationship with SymCare. Forward-looking statements generally can be identified by words such as "outlook", "objective", "may", "will", "expect", "intend", "estimate", "anticipate", "believe", "should", "plans", "project", or "continue" or similar expressions suggesting future outcomes or events. By their nature, forward-looking statements are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, some of which are beyond the Company's control, including without limitation the risk that the restructuring of the Company's relationship with SymCare will not be completed on terms consistent with the MOU or at all. Although the Company believes that the expectations in its forward-looking statements are reasonable, its forward-looking statements have been based on factors and assumptions concerning future events which may prove to be inaccurate. Those factors and assumptions are based upon currently available information, including the assumption that the restructuring of the Company's relationship with SymCare will be completed on terms consistent with the MOU and on the timeline described in this press release. Such statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that could influence actual results or events and cause actual results or events to differ materially from those stated, anticipated, or implied in the forward-looking statements. Accordingly, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements. Additional risks, uncertainties, material assumptions and other factors that could affect actual results are discussed in the Company's public disclosure documents available at www.sedar.com, including in the risk factors described in the Company's current annual information form. In addition, the Company is subject to the risk and uncertainties related to the COVID-19 pandemic. In particular, a novel strain of coronavirus causing the disease known as COVID-19 has spread throughout the world, including across the United States and Canada, causing the World Health Organization to declare the COVID-19 outbreak a pandemic in March 2020. To contain the spread and impact of the pandemic, authorities throughout the United States and Canada have implemented measures such as travel bans and restrictions, stay-at-home orders, social distancing guidelines and limitations on other business activity. The pandemic has resulted in a significant economic downturn in the United States, Canada and globally, and has also led to disruptions and volatility in capital markets. The Company has already experienced negative impacts on its financial results due to the pandemic and is not able to fully quantify the impact that the COVID-19 pandemic will have on the Company's financial results during 2020, but expect that the pandemic could have a material adverse effect on its results of operations, financial position and/or cash flows, particularly if negative economic and public health conditions in the United States and Canada persist for a significant period of time. The ultimate impact of the pandemic on the Company's financial results will depend on, among other factors, the duration and severity of the pandemic as well as negative economic conditions arising therefrom, the impact of the pandemic on occupancy rates in our communities, the volume of COVID-19 patients cared for across our portfolio, rent deferral rates, and the impact of government actions on the seniors housing industry and broader economy, including through existing and future stimulus efforts. The forward-looking statements contained in this document are expressly qualified by this cautionary statement.
Non-IFRS Measures
The Company reports its financial results in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"). Included in this news release are certain non-IFRS financial measures as supplemental indicators used by management to track the Company's performance. These non-IFRS measures are NOI, FFO and AFFO. The Company believes that these non-IFRS financial measures provide useful information to both management and investors in measuring the financial performance and financial condition of the Company. These measures do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and, therefore, may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies, nor should they be construed as an alternative to other financial measures determined in accordance with IFRS. For a full definition of these measures and a reconciliation to net profit for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2020, please refer to the Financial Measures section of the September 30, 2020 MD&A available on the Company's website and on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.

Craftsteak at MGM Grand ★ Editors Choice!
Read our VegasEats review of Craftsteak at MGM Grand.
I'd call this a non-traditional steakhouse, they have a wide selection of appetizers, sides, and steaks, some of them not what you'd expect at a steakhouse. Of course, they're all really good so who cares. All of my meals here have been excellent, starting off with a big martini that has a blue cheese filled olive floating in it, and always getting the Waygu Tartare, steaks are tender and cooked to perfection.
The best steak I had when I was in Las Vegas. The manager and hostess were both extremely helpful too!
The steaks are awesome, but what sets Craftsteak apart is the quality of the sides. From amazing pureed potatoes to the tastiest mushroom plates you'll find anywhere to all sorts of roasted vegetables, Craftsteak deslivers a feast with every item you order. Highly recommended.
Incredibly fresh seafood, a great selection of perfectly prepared steaks, even the sides & desserts were impeccable, as was the service. If you're a Scotch aficionado like I am, this place has one of the best collections of single-malt Scotch I have ever seen anywhere in the world. The best steakhouse in Vegas, period.


Oranges are my favorite fruit, and one which I very infrequently partake of. Orange makes everything better: juice, chicken, soap, food fights; you name it!
I've had these built for a while, but decided to finally take pictures and post them as an homage to Florida, which will be my home for the next few days as I attend the Emerge Americas Techweek Miami 2014 to work with IBM for some LEGO business.
I created the TIE cockpit design based off the Lowell Sphere back in 2011, originally for a TIE Interceptor. I then made this TIE Fighter, and have been occasionally revisiting the designs of the two since. I decided it was time to finally take some pictures and post them online.
Book Cover from Eric Carle's The Very Hungry Caterpillar.
I, like many children born after 1969 (when the book was first published), have grown up with Mr. Carle's works. I figured this was a fitting tribute.

Q: Posso colocar uma TD de uma TABLE com características de botão através de classes Bootstrap? Eu costumava utilizar buttons dentro de TD quando criava tabelas dinâmicas em que cada linha (TR) tem um botão.
Mas eu comecei a ver que o pessoal ao invés de colocar botões dentro dos TD, colocavam uma TAG "a" e atribuía classes (bootstrap) de botões para essas TAG "a".
Como:

Isso já transforma uma TAG "a" em um botão.
Agora eu gostaria de saber se ao invés de eu fazer isso abaixo:

$.each($.parseJSON(data), function(chave, emp) {
  //CRIANDO AS LINHAS COM OS TD DA TABELA QUE SÃO O RESULTADO NA CONSULTA AO BANCO

  empresas += '
';
  empresas += '' + emp.imagem + '	';
  empresas += '' + emp.usuario + '	';
  empresas += '' + emp.EMPRESA_ORIGEM + '	';
  empresas += '' + emp.departamento + '	';
  empresas += 'ALTERAR	';
  empresas += '
';

});

Eu talvez possa fazer isso.

$.each($.parseJSON(data), function(chave, emp) {
  //CRIANDO AS LINHAS COM OS TD DA TABELA QUE SÃO O RESULTADO NA CONSULTA AO BANCO

  empresas += '
';
  empresas += '' + emp.imagem + '	';
  empresas += '' + emp.usuario + '	';
  empresas += '' + emp.EMPRESA_ORIGEM + '	';
  empresas += '' + emp.departamento + '	';
  empresas += '	';
  empresas += '
';

});

Isso funcionaria ?
Essas questões de atribuir classes de botões em TAGS que não são botões é uma coisa válida ?

A: Cara são muitos detalhes, mas de cara já te falo que isso é completamente errado, pois vc não pode colocar um href em uma TD, e isso não teria semântica alguma ou mesmo seria acessível

A opção de customizar uma tab  como um <button> tb não faz muito sentido, a não ser pelo fato de no button vc não conseguir colocar um link href, pois ele é usado para submit ou para uma ação via JS. Além disso, o button pode fazer um submit e ser acessado com a tecla backspace (espaço) por exemplo, e tem uma semântica diferente que um A que na verdade é um hiperlink.
Vc pode até customizar um  como um <buttom>, mas o propósito deles é bem diferente assim como a semântica já dito acima.
Como vc pode ver aqui os atributos globais de um button são totalmente diferente do A https://developer.mozilla.org/pt-BR/docs/Web/HTML/Element/button

O Elemento HTML  representa um botão clicável.

Elemento A https://developer.mozilla.org/pt-BR/docs/Web/HTML/Element/a

O elemento HTML  (ou o Elemento Ancora HTML define uma hiperligação (hyperlink), o destino de uma hiperligação, ou ambos.

I'm so excited about the increase in traffic on this site in the last few days. Obviously, my Helping Non-Techies Understand Blogging post has resonated with a number of people. I've had 56 views for that post so far. OK, that's a tiny number in comparison to the big time bloggers, but for me, that's fabulous! The next most popular post for the last month only had 19 views, with 17 at the third most popular.
What is even more exciting is the number of feed subscriptions though. The WordPress stats show 45 readers for 3/26/07. In February, I averaged 3.25 feeds per day and 9 views per day. The subscriptions really make me feel like I'm adding value to the conversations, more than just the page views. If you're subscribing, it means you found something here that was good enough for you to want to read more in the future. I know that you're busy and have lots of pressures on your time, but the fact that you've added me to your reading list makes me feel pretty darn good.
So welcome to all the people who have recently found me, and for those few who have been around a bit longer. I suppose at some point perhaps these stats won't be quite so exciting, but right now, every view, comment, and trackback is just so cool!
Besides, if Intellagirl at Second Life Education Research can cheer that she has been bookmarked over 100 times on del.icio.us, I should be able to do a little blog happy dance myself, right?

I pass the name of the child class as a variable to functions.
Inside those functions I need to test if that class passed has implemented or not some methods from it's base class.

Sheila Elizabeth Whitton (née Hiller) (October 25, 1922 – November 26, 2017) was a Canadian coder with the Women's Royal Canadian Naval Service. (W.R.C.N.S colloquial known as the WRENS) during WWII. She was one of a small group of Canadian coders sent to the UK to prepare for D-Day.

Service in WWII

Sheila Hiller graduated from Havergal College, Toronto, and joined the navy in 1943. She was first assigned to Halifax, where she began her coder training. Coders were first trained with books: "Great heavy coding books, which would have 4 letter insignia for a word." In April 1944, Sheila was transferred to London with five other WRENS. In London they worked with civilian coders progressing from books to "coding machines."

In her words:
"We didn't know at the time about those coding machines. it really was the size and shape of a fairly large typewriter, but they had cylinders. You had a set up each day for how to start each one, how you placed them in your machine. That code would change every day, so you'd have to make sure you would be able to break the message for the day"

The women worked in 3 shifts to cover the 24 hours of the day. She remained working as a coder in England until the end of the war. According to the CFB Esquimalt Naval & Military Museum, "Just one year after the WRCNS was established, the Wrens were already earning high praise" including from Vice Admiral Percy W. Nelles, Chief of Naval Staff, who stated,
"I wish to thank the patriotic women who have entered their country's service and have added so capably to the combat strength of the navy by helping to man the shore establishments in this country. In one short year you have proved yourselves of immeasurable value to the naval service by taking over many tasks with skill, diligence and cheerfulness. As Chief of Naval Staff, I am proud of your record and the contribution you are making to the final victory."

After WWII
On her return to Canada she attended The University of Toronto and became a social worker. She served on the national board of the Canadian Save the Children Fund, and was chair in the mid-1960s. In the 1980s, she taught part-time at Sheridan College, Oakville.

Personal life
Sheila's longtime boyfriend Robert ("Bob") Fleming, an officer in The Queens Own Rifles was already in the U.K. Just after she arrived in London, April 1944, and having been apart for 2 years, they decided to marry. Sheila received permission to travel to Bob's location, where they were married by his regiment's Padre. Up until D-Day the newlywed couple were able to write to each other but then mail was stopped. The last letter Sheila received from Bob was from Normandy after he had been killed in action. After VE Day (Victory in Europe Day, May 8th, 1945) Sheila journeyed to France to visit the Canadian Cemetery at Bény-sur-mer, Normandy.

In 1950 she married fellow Canadian John Whitton. John and Sheila were married for 62 years (until his death) and had four children.

"Bighorn Ridge is the perfect place to get away from it all. We needed a couple of days away and found it in the hills of Okanagan Falls. Loved the guest house and it had everything we needed for a wonderful couple of days, the kitchen and rooms are extremely well outfitted!! It is very well maintained and clean. We spent a lot of time on the wonderful front deck looking out at the view and seeing all kinds of birds. We would and have already recommended this amazing place and look forward to getting back there again."
"This was my second stay at the guest house, accompanied by my golden retriever, for a few days of R&R and wine-shopping. The hosts are warm and friendly, never intrusive but always helpful. They welcome my dog, provide lists of off-leash trails and even pet-friendly wineries. The Guest House is cozy and has a wonderful view of Vaseux Lake and the cliffs north of Oliver - savored every day with a glass of wine from the porch swing. The shared kitchen is well-equipped, meals can be taken under the awning on the lovely deck. Quiet. Beautiful. Luxurious. Revitalizing. Could become an annual pilgrimage!"
"Wonderful and accommodating hosts, fantastic views from a private setting in the heart of wine country, clean, comfortable and well appointed lodging. This rental was everything and more than described in the listing. Many attractions and activities near by or just a great place to relax. However, the most attractive aspect of this property is Roger and Carla's love for dogs and the details they have incorporated into the design to ensure your puppy is comfortable too! Highly recommended for anyone with or without a dog."
"Bighorn Ridge was a wonderful find! We thoroughly enjoyed our two night stay. Our only regret was not staying longer. The suite was clean and well maintained. The view from the patio was spectacular. Having a BBQ available made the evenings perfect after spending the days golfing and visiting the local wineries. Carla and Roger were gracious hosts and we would recommend the property to family and friends without hesitation."
"My wife and I spent two nights and three days at Bighorn Ridge and would not hesitate to recommend it to friends and family. The setting high on the ridge overlooking Vaseux lake is spectacular. The adobe guest house is simple elegance and provides a quiet retreat from the hustle of everyday life. Roger and Carla are the perfect hosts, friendly, helpful and absent unless there is a question to be answered. Carla's artistic touch is evident through out the guest house and makes this the perfect hide-away when visiting this part of the Okanagan Valley."

Stair runners by the foot – A staircase can be one of the first things a visitor sees to a home. It also presents one of the largest areas in the living room or entry. In both cases, stair runners by the foot can beautify his appearance and tie it to the rest of the home. Their installation costs depend on material and location.
The cheapest way to install a stair runner is to do it yourself, which limits the cost of it for runners and supplies, such as padding, striping and lining a knee kicker. Runners are generally priced by linear foot, which covers the entire width of the carpet. This width varies from two to three feet or more. A cheap domestic 26-inch polypropylene can cost about $ 7.77 a linear foot when it's on sale. An expensive imported runner who is also 26 inches wide and made of wool can drive $ 51.81 a straight foot on sale. All prices are from Rug Depot and are correct at the time of publication.
Professional installation is more expensive, but takes less time and gives a more finished look. Runner installers charge about $ 318 to put a 26-inch mat over 13 steps in a straight staircase. Compare this with an average cost of $ 200 for a do-it-yourself project. Both prices include material. A large part of the workforce involves preparing stairs, such as removing casting, and old stickiness and nails, cleaning up all dirt, and painting or staining exposed edges.
