Review: The Cribs celebrate 10 years of 'Men's Needs…' in Birmingham
May 14, 2017 May 16, 2017 Samuel Lambeth	God Damn, O2 Institute Birmingham, Slotface, The Cribs
The Cribs made a triumphant and long-awaited return to Birmingham on May 13th
The Wakefield trio celebrated the tenth anniversary of seminal album Men's Needs, Women's Needs, Whatever
Support came from Norwegian upstarts Sløtface and Midlands rockers God Damn
"It weren't my best, but who cares?" utters Thom Edward, the head honcho of God Damn, towards the end of their splintering set. If you understand the line's origins, you'll be among the many that hold The Cribs, and specifically their 2007 album Men's Needs, Women's Needs, Whatever, in such high regard.
However, Edward of course does his best – God Damn is the little engine that could, a band with molten thrust and Wytches-esque fury, bound together by the pummeling drums of 'Bash' Weaver and the long-locked scuzziness of James Brown. With every stage they approach, they leave it sweaty and satisfied. The O2 Institute was another to tick off.
Sløtface seemingly had played everywhere in the UK except Birmingham, but at long last those who have fallen in love with the Norwegians' brand of punk-infused power pop had a chance to witness their fizzy, energetic live set. Haley Shea is a phenomenal front-woman, a bundle of boundless abandon as she leaps around during early off-cut 'Angst' and the '90s-baiting 'Empire Records'. By the time she's found herself at the barriers during the furious 'Shave My Head', the band's brand of Wannadies-esque ironic fuzz has seen their hitherto Brum ignorance long forgiven.
Playing albums in toto has become a touchstone for bands that have, whether they are aware of it or not, fallen on hard times or are struggling for creative energy. Ergo, it was perhaps the most surprising that a forward-thinking, and still considerably viable, act as The Cribs announced they were playing MNWYW in full. After all, such nostalgic love-ins were vetoed for their self-titled debut and The New Fellas. However, dig deep and it's easy to see why this album, in particular, deserves a plunge into the past – it was the record where the Jarman triumvirate traded their previous lo-fi loveability for a more widescreen sheen, Alex Kapranos' clean, but not pristine, production bringing out the best in Ryan's spiky riffs, Gary's lacerating howl and Ross' nimble drum work.
Hearing the record in total, only interrupted by Ryan's introductory quip of "welcome to the Eurovision Song Contest", hit home just how resonant MNWYN is, even when removed from the indie-addled, cardigan-wearing era of 2007. From the clique-bashing sing-a-long of 'Our Bovine Public' to the paper-thin acoustic lament 'Shoot the Poets', MNWYN is their most consistent album, a lean and concise collection that touches upon a raft of themes.
The record, and subsequent live performance, switches between more abrasive, fuzzed-up territory and twinkling, but no less thrilling, moments of contemplation. 'Moving Pictures', 'I've Tried Everything' (featuring the still-brilliant line "I ran to Brighton, it didn't solve anything") and 'My Life Flashed Before My Eyes', mix mournful introspection with Ryan's intricate arpeggios. 'I'm A Realist' and 'Girls Like Mystery' are heartfelt blasts of longing wrapped up in adolescent dislocation, while 'Major Titling's Victory' (props to the Jarmans for including the "is this me talking now?" line) and the two big hitters. The Lee Ranaldo collaboration 'Be Safe' and lead single 'Men's Needs', deal with a generation's apathy through hard-hitting rock.
Throughout the performance, a bulging Birmingham crowd – some visibly around during the record's original release, some no doubt in Huggies at the time – scream back the lyrics and mosh with reckless abandon. When the album's finished, the trio unearth a few other tracks from the Men's Needs… era, most notably the frenetic 'Don't You Wanna Be Relevant' and the downbeat, jittery B-side 'Fairer Sex'. There's also time for further hits, the taut blast of 'Mirror Kissers' slotting in among the bittersweet 'Different Angle' and 'Another Number', hailed by Ryan as the greatest ringtone that never was.
Nostalgia can be a compelling liar, but by revisiting Men's Needs, Women's Needs, Whatever a decade on, The Cribs return to a pivotal point in their career, where longevity and mass acclaim would follow.

Top 5 UNESCO World Heritage Sites
If you like to soak up the history and culture of a place just as much as the glorious sunshine, you'll want to put these awe-inspiring UNESCO World Heritage Sites on your itinerary.
At The Holiday Butler we like to explore the most unique corners of the world; learning to live how the locals do, admiring iconic landmarks, and indulging in a destination's authentic cuisine.
That's why we've listed 5 of our favourite cultural sites to visit across the globe, so you can appreciate the special role they've played in shaping history, up close and personal. From world-famous mausoleums to sacred mountains and beyond…
A bustling capital fringed by baroque and neoclassical buildings, rainbow-coloured Cadillac's, vibrant salsa shows, and a fair share of rum and cigar shops, Havana's old centre and its fortifications exude olde-worlde charm and heaps of history and culture.
Founded in 1519 by the Spanish, Old Havana is one of the most impressive historical city centres in the Americas – and the oldest of the country's nine UNESCO World Heritage sites, having been declared in 1982. Once the largest port in its region, Havana quickly became a stopping point for Spanish Galleons and to this day remains home to a large network of dockyards and defensive installations that encircle the neighbourhood.
A few of the most popular fortification landmarks include the Castillo de la Real Fuerza (the oldest colonial fortress in the Americas), Castillo de San Salvador de la Punta, La Cabana Fortress, and Castillo del Morro. While you're here, a visit to the Havana Cathedral is a must for its architectural beauty.
One of the most spectacular monuments in the world, this ivory white marble mausoleum was built in Agra between 1631 and 1648 by the order of Mughal emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his favourite wife. The Taj Mahal is a glistening jewel when it comes to India's landmarks, making a name for itself as one of the most universally admired masterpieces – and once you experience its beauty up close, you'll understand why.
Sitting pretty on the bank of the river Yamuna, this architectural delight took 20,000 stone carvers, masons, and artists from across the country (plus Turkey and Iraq too) to build – which isn't surprising when you consider the structures intricate details including calligraphy carvings and inlaid semiprecious stones. While you're here, be sure to wander the lush surrounding gardens and admire the reflecting pool.
Understandably, this year-round attraction gets incredibly busy – the best time to visit the Taj Mahal is early or late in the day, once the crowds start to disperse. The only day you cannot visit is a Friday, as it is closed.
Archaeological Areas of Pompeii, Herculaneum and Torre Annunziata
If you like to get more bang for your buck, you're in luck, as this World Heritage site packs three wonderful archaeological sites into one – Pompei, Herculaneum, and Torre Annunziata.
A must-visit if you're travelling to Italy, these three areas make up one of the country's 58 UNESCO World Heritage Sites – and boy, are they a sight to behold. Travel back in time when you explore Pompeii and Herculaneum; these two ancient Roman cities were buried when the eruption of Vesuvius in A.S.79 engulfed them in six meters of ash and pumice-stone, however, after centuries of excavating, today their ruins tell a story of architectural importance.
Visit the Forum and Temple of Jupiter where you'll discover various shrines and temples, admire the impressive stone-built Teatro Grande and Teatro Piccolo (Large and Little Theater) which housed shows for up to 5,000 spectactors, plus the famous and oldest surviving Roman Amphitheater. In Herculaneum, head for the House of Galba, well-preserved thermal baths at Thermae, and House of the Neptune Mosaic – known for its stunning rainbow-coloured glass mosaic wall.
The third piece of the puzzle, Torre Annunziata is a stone's throw from the beautiful city of Naples and remains packed with exciting things to explore.
Risco Caido and the Sacred Mountains of Gran Canaria Cultural Landscape
If you appreciate diverse landscapes, you'll want to grab your hiking boots for this one. Located in balmy Gran Canaria, the archaeological site of Risco Caido and the Sacred Mountains is peppered with cliffs, volcanic formations, prehistoric cave dwellings, temples, and granaries waiting to be explored by eager history buffs.
Stretching around 18,000 hectares (that's over 11% of the isle) Risco Caido is a must-visit for those in search of traces of human existence from ancestral times thanks to its uniquely significant rock art – believed to relate to magical beliefs and fertility rituals. Discover a series of engravings on the cave's interior walls, illuminated by an opening in the cave roof – in fact, because of this many thought the landmark could function as a prehistoric astronomical clock.
Historic Bridgetown and its Garrison
If you're travelling to Barbados this summer, you'll want to take a day trip to the capital city of Bridgetown and its Garrison. This UNESCO World Heritage Site was the largest in the British Colonies in the 17th, 18th , and 19th centuries and famed for the critical role it played in the expansion of the British Empire within the Americas. The major port was a key hub for trade and commerce, its busy harbour occupied by trading vessels and ships making the trans-Atlantic crossing from Africa. The port was, of course, heavily guarded to protect Britain's trade interests – these efforts didn't go unnoticed and Historic Bridgetown and its Garrison was honoured UNESCO World Heritage status with a supporting mandate in 2011.
Today, the area continues to exist as a hive of activity full of historic buildings, fortifications, and heaps of charm and character. A few top sights include Ann's Fort, George Washington House, National Heroes Square, Michael's Cathedral and beautiful Queen's Park – the perfect place to escape for an hour or two.

We need a vote
Let us be heard
Sign up to the Morning Briefing
Stevens – GMB move "welcome"
The GMB union has said that the public should be given a final say over Brexit.
Commenting, Jo Stevens MP, leading supporter of the People's Vote campaign and chair of the GMB's Parliamentary Group, said:
"The vital job of the Labour Movement is to defend and protect the interests of working people and it is ever clearer that the botched Brexit we are heading for – whether it is Theresa May's or Jacob Rees Mogg's – is going to put jobs, rights and communities at risk.
"If Brexit damages our economy it will mean more cuts in cleaning in the NHS, more teaching assistants losing their jobs, and less investment in affordable, quality housing. A bad Brexit deal means lower wages, higher prices in the shops and more damage to the life chances and opportunities of generations for generations.
"Public services are already facing a deep crisis after eight years of deep and damaging austerity. Local government has borne the brunt of the attacks, but Brexit threatens to intensify the assault and that is why it is welcome when people speak out in support of a People's Vote on the Brexit deal."

Herman, Stan
Stan Herman (b. 1932) worked as a comedian and as a singer before he got into fashion design. He worked at various firms in New York and in 1959 became the designer at Mr. Mort. At Mr. Mort in the 1960s Herman's designs were on the cutting edge of fashion — he was one of the first to show dresses over pants.
But early in the 1970s Stan Herman left Mr. Mort and opened a design studio, where he produced not only his own label, but where he also did freelance work. He designed dresses for department stores and lingerie for Van Raalte. He also did work uniforms for such diverse groups as United Airlines and McDonalds. In the late 1990s, he took his at-home clothing line to TV retailer QVC, where his name again became a household word.

#1 The inability to get that third Antworten
The Winniepg Jets finished the four game Central Division trip at 1-2-1, and are now 2-3-1 on the road this season, with each game being decided by one goal. In Edmonton, a 5-4 win, Minnesota a 2-1 loss, Nashville a 3-2 loss in overtime, Dallas a 2-1 shoot-out win, Colorado a 3-2 loss and St. Louis a 3-2 loss. Add up the goals for in the last five road games and the total is eight. (Shootout winner in Dallas not in the total). The inability to get that third goal has been costly. On this four-game trip, Blake Wheeler (3), Bryan Little (2), Anthony Peluso (1), Evander Kane (1) were the only Jets to score. Andrew Ladd had the winner in the shootout win in Dallas. In St. Louis, the Jets again surrendered the first goal as Brenden Morrow scored his second of the year. The Jets (5-7-2) have only scored the first goal of the game three times. They tied it on a 5-on-3 power play with Wheeler scoring his fourth goal in the last five games, and snapping an eight-game team power play drought. The Jets did not score a 5-on-3 goal in 10 opportunities last year. The physical first period ended tied at 1-1. There was no scoring in the second period with special teams the key in the third. Alex Pietrangelo regained the lead for St. Louis as the Blues forced a turnover in the Jets zone. The Jets penalty kill was excellent in this game against the leagues number one power play. While killing their fifth penalty, Andrew Ladd and Bryan Little broke into the Blues zone with Little finishing the play off with his second short-handed goal of the season. It was Littles seventh goal of the year, tying his output from last year. "Im shooting more and not squeezing the stick as much," Little would say on the TSN Jets post-game interview. It appeared as though the Jets would go to overtime for the fifth time in seven games until Toby Enstrom was called for interference at 17:47, giving St. Louis one last power play chance, and Alexander Steen would put a back hand shot off the post, off Ondrej Pavelecs pad and in for the game winner. It was his league-leading 11th goal of the year and came with one minute left in the third. The Jets again had quality chances with no results. Wheeler hit the inside of the post late in the second, while Jaroslav Halak made a number of key saves in the third, including one off Michael Frolik at the side of the net that would have given the Jets the lead. There was plenty of frustration in the Jets room after this one. Finding ways to lose was a common quote. It was a heart-breaking loss in a game the Jets deserved at least a point. But shorthanded six times is too many as the Jets now lead the NHL in short-handed situations. Little took 27 face-offs, Mark Stuart blocked six shots, Dustin Byfuglien played 26:35, all team highs. Head coach Claude Noel, like his players, was frustrated with another one goal defeat. "We gave ourselves a chance, but we found a way to lose," said Noel. "We gave their power play a lot of opportunities. This could have been a decent trip." The Jets return to action at MTS Centre Saturday afternoon against Chicago (TSN 1290) and Monday against Detroit (TSN Jets, TSN 1290.) They will play 14 games in 28 days in November. Defenceman Ben Chiarot was recalled from St. Johns but did not play. The Jets have defenceman Jacob Trouba and Paul Postma on IR, as well as forward Jim Slater. A number of others are also battling bumps and bruises. Stitched Lakers Jerseys . On Wednesday night, they showed that stellar defence and a little small ball can get the job done too. With pinch-runner Kevin Pillar aboard after Dioner Navarro opened the bottom of the ninth with a single, Anthony Gose dropped down an excellent bunt along the first-base line. Los Angeles Lakers Gear . JOHNS, N. https://www.lakersjerseycheap.com/ .J. - Several people have collapsed in an overcrowded New Jersey train station while waiting in long lines to get to the Super Bowl. Cheap Lakers Jerseys . On paper, it looks a little like Andre the Giant taking on a midget wrestler. It has all the makings of a rout with the Americans adding an eighth win in nine outings of this biennial event. The Yanks have eight players in the top 15 in the world while the Internationals have just one. Lakers Jerseys 2019 . - New Orleans Saints general manager Mickey Loomis says the club has an agreement to bring back outside linebacker Parys Haralson on a one-year deal.GLENDALE, Ariz. - The odd rules that the NFL tried in the Pro Bowl made for a strange sideshow.No kickoffs, no blitzing, alternate possessions to start each quarter, two-minute warnings for each quarter and stopping the clock when a running play doesnt gain a yard in the final two minutes.And skinny little goal posts, particularly hard to hit on longer extra-point kicks.A capacity crowd of 63,225 watched Team Irvin beat Team Carter 32-28. Chances are no one came to see if Colts kicker Adam Vinatieri — who had not missed a PAT in five years — could squeeze a 33-yard extra point through 14-foot wide uprights.Twice he couldnt.Vinatieris counterpart on Team Carter, rookie Cody Parkey, didnt miss. But he didnt like the experiment.Its just unfortunate that theyre trying to make it harder us for a lot of guys success in the league, he said.Vinatieri also missed a field goal.Parkey, who kicks for Philadelphia, said his job got a lot tougher with the smaller target and the added distance.Its definitely different, but at the same time, you just go out there and kick your ball, and a little more accuracy is definitely needed.It was the second Pro Bowl in which the NFL dropped the AFC vs. NFC format and had big-name former players pick their teams in a draft.The guys enjoy it, Houston defensive end J.J. Watt said. The new style where you pick teams make it like schoolyard ball, Ive said that before, its competitive.Some things we learned from Sundays Pro Bowl:STARS COME OUT: The best players usually make the biggest plays, and that was true on Sunday.At the top of the list was Watt, who intercepted a pass and recovered a fumble. Named the games defensive MVP, he also showed how much fun he was having, dancing during commercial breaks.I just tried to enjoy it. Thats what the Pro Bowl is all about, giving the fans a good show, he said.Jimmy Graham, New Orleans superb tight end, caught two touchdown passes and dunked over the goal post both times. In a real game that would have been a penalty.That was amazing. For me, it made the entire week, he said. Hopefully, one day theyll look back and change this rule so I can do itt in a real game.dddddddddddd And hopefully one day in the Super Bowl.Indianapolis Andrew Luck completed 9 of 10 passes for 119 yards and two scores. Detroits Matthew Stafford, the offensive MVP, was 15 for 25 for 316 yards and two touchdowns with one interception.And rookie Odell Beckham Jr. of the New York Giants caught five passes for 89 yards, including a diving ground-level grab of a 48-yard pass from Stafford.BIG CROWD: The Pro Bowl has just a one-year run in the desert. Next year it will be back in Hawaii, where the crowds are nothing like the one that showed up in Glendale on Sunday.The NFL staged the Pro Bowl on the same field where the Super Bowl will be played next Sunday. That meant a big media contingent, too.The people have been fantastic, Dallas quarterback Tony Romo said. Theyve got a lot of passionate fans. Its been a great week.TEAMMATES: With Michael Irvin and Cris Carter picking the teams, there were some NFL teammates on the same side and some going against each other.T.Y. Hilton caught a 14-yard touchdown pass from his Indianapolis quarterback Luck.Stafford connected with Detroit teammate Golden Tate on a 60-yard play.Golden came out here and played fantastic tonight, had some big plays, Stafford said. Obviously got me off to a fast start and hes been doing that for me for a long time.Even when players faced a teammate, they couldnt help but cheer them on.When Jordy Nelson caught a caught a 21-yard touchdown pass from Drew Brees for Team Carter, he jumped up in celebration with Green Bay teammate Clay Matthews, who was playing for Team Irvin.LOTS OF Offence: As usual, offence ruled in the Pro Bowl.The teams combined for 1,067 yards and 54 first downs.And the wealth was spread around.Ten players caught at least one pass for each team.OPEN ROOF: Arizona Cardinals fans may have forgotten, but the roof does slide open at University of Phoenix Stadium.Sunday marked the first time it was open for a game since the Cardinals played San Francisco on Dec. 29, 2013.The Cardinals like it closed because its a lot louder.___AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL ' ' '

Living with one or more missing teeth is possible, but this change in your smile will affect you in different ways. Not only will missing teeth negatively change your appearance, but they can also reduce your ability to eat and speak properly. Fortunately, implant dentistry is an option to consider if you want to restore your smile. Here are a few signs dental implants are the right restoration option for you.
Your child will lose their baby teeth throughout much of their childhood and possibly into their early preteen years. However, your child should not lose any of their permanent teeth. If your child loses a permanent tooth, there will not be another tooth to replace the one that is lost, and your child's remaining teeth are not likely to fill in the missing gap. Luckily, there are things you can do if your child loses a permanent tooth to help restore their smile to a more natural and healthy appearance.
Most people don't particularly enjoy going to the dentist, but they grin and bear it. If you are having trouble even getting yourself in the door because of the fear of pain, then it's time to take action. Instead of avoiding the dentist, ask them if they can use one or more of these extra pain and stress-relief services to make your appointment more comfortable. Numbing Gel Your dentist should administer novocaine or another local anesthetic to numb your gums and tooth prior to having any work done.
Cavities are a result of tooth decay and can be quite painful. A cavity forms when the acids produced by the bacteria in your mouth start to demineralize your tooth enamel. Each time you consume carbohydrates, the oral microbes feed on the leftover simple sugars in your mouth. As they digest their meal, they release digestive byproducts, including acid. The acid dissolves the tooth material, causing holes or cavities to develop.
With only one working parent in our family, I find it necessary to budget our income every month for the things we need to stay healthy. But fortunately, we don't need to worry about our dental care. Our dentist offers affordable dental care for the adults and kids in my family. When our youngest child needed braces, we didn't have to wait until we saved up the money to get them. With the help of our dental insurance, our child received the care she needs to improve her health. This blog can help you find affordable dental treatments for you or your family. I encourage you to use the resources provided in it to your advantage.


This Article aims to make sense of this neglected area of ATS law. I contend that the salient issue in these deceased-victim cases is not whether the nonvictim plaintiffs have standing to sue but rather whether they have a viable cause of action in the first place. Standing and cause of action concepts have an uneasy relationship in law. Although the distinction between constitutional standing and cause of action inquiries is well established, the division is less clear where, as here, standing doctrine is used to define a plaintiff's eligibility to bring suit. Indeed, reliance on standing terminology in this context often obscures and confuses what should otherwise be a straightforward determination into the merits of a litigant's claim. Building on this insight, I argue that, at bottom, the deceased-victim issue in ATS cases turns not on statutory standing principles but on whether the plaintiff satisfies the substantive conditions that trigger recovery. In this way, the alternative framework I propose recasts the deceased-victim issue as essentially a merits inquiry into the nonvictim plaintiff's eligibility to recover damages. Given the kinds of damages typically requested in these ATS cases, I conclude that wrongful death and survivorship principles ultimately govern this analysis. Part II of this Article begins with the Supreme Court's seminal opinion in Sosa, which offers the High Court's most authoritative discussion to date on the scope of the ATS and the litigation commenced pursuant to its authority. Although Sosa does not address the deceased-victim issue directly, the decision establishes several principles that guide the analysis of this open question of ATS law. Next, Part III examines the prevailing approach to the deceased-victim issue, which as described above, adopts a formulation rooted in the terminology of standing doctrine. After describing this approach in some detail, I argue that it is untenable in both theory and practice, citing different instances in which courts have wrestled with the current framework to rather unsatisfactory results. Part IV then outlines the alternative framework previewed above. First, I lay out the proposed approach in general terms, comparing deceased-victim human rights claims to wrongful death and survival actions available in traditional tort litigation. I then argue that courts should recognize a federal common law cause of action for death in violation of international law, as well as a federal common law rule of survivorship for international law tort claims litigated in federal court. I further contend that state law should generally supply the rules of decision for determining the proper plaintiff in ATS cases involving deceased victims. This analysis relies on federal common law principles deployed in the analogous jurisprudential settings of constitutional tort litigation and maritime wrongful death law. Part IV concludes with a discussion of the conceptual and practical advantages of the proposed approach as compared with the prevailing framework.

Briefing Set In Security Council On Zimbabwe Post-Election Violence
The United Nations Security Council is expected to receive a briefing Tuesday on the crisis in Zimbabwe from the UN Secretariat amid calls by the international community for more substantive action in response to mounting post-election violence.
The Harare government dismissed the scheduled briefing, charging that it was stage-managed by Western powers hostile to President Robert Mugabe.
But the opposition Movement for Democratic Change formation headed by Morgan Tsvangirai, which maintains that Tsvangirai defeated Mr. Mugabe in the presidential vote March 29 whose results have not been released, said MDC Secretary General Tendai Biti would provide information to the Security Council on the crisis.
U.N. High Commissioner on Human Rights Louise Arbour also voiced concern about political violence aimed at opposition members and independent monitors. If attacks on such groups were not checked, she said, the rising violence could have serious consequences for Zimbabwe with implications for Southern Africa too.
U.S. Assistant Secretary of State for Africa Jendayi Frazer said Sunday that the United States would support U.N. sanctions against Zimbabwe if violence continues.
Zimbabwe's ambassador to the U.N., Boniface Chidyausiku, told reporter Blessing Zulu of VOA's Studio 7 for Zimbabwe that London and Washington have instigated the Security Council discussion of Zimbabwe in a bid to undermine Harare.
Spokesman Nelson Chamisa of the MDC formation headed by Morgan Tsvangirai said the U.N. session will be important because it will put Harare under a spotlight.

KonsultaMD releases video app for 24/7 medical consultation
Telehealth service KonsultaMD has released an app that allows customers to engage in teleconsultation with a licensed doctor anytime via voice or video without leaving the comforts of their own homes.

This contactless approach to health services is endorsed by the Department of Health as a way to relieve hospitals with non-critical cases and prevent the spread of the COVID-19 virus especially among vulnerable members of society.
"We understand how difficult it is for people with medical concerns to go to the doctor and face the risk of COVID-19 infection. Yet there are instances when doctors and patients need to see each other to exchange information especially if visual assessment is necessary such as in the case of skin diseases. Through the app, we're giving our customers a viable alternative to face-to-face consultation," said Maridol Ylanan, CEO of Global Telehealth, Inc., the company which operates KonsultaMD.
KonsultaMD, however, continues to offer 24/7 access to doctors over the phone. Both voice and video calls may be used to seek advice on primary care, first aid, health and wellness, nutrition, mental health, and even for the issuance of e-prescriptions and interpretation of lab results.
KonsultaMD offers four affordable plans to choose from, ranging from P15 per week to P150 per month. For the starter plan, an individual customer may enjoy unlimited teleconsult for only P15 for seven days. This includes e-prescription, e-laboratory request, and access to partner benefits. The personal plan provides the same benefits as the starter plan with one free video consultation and e-Medical Certificate for P60 per month valid for 30 days.
Those with family members, may prefer the partner bundle plan which costs P99 for two persons for 30 days with 2 free video consultations or the group bundle plan which is good for five people and costs only P150 for 30 days with four free video consultations. Both plans carry all benefits of the personal plan.

Q: What does "Too few parameters. Expected 1." on MS Access mean? I'm trying to update records in my form. It's a restaurant reservation system. Given the Table #, the form can let the user input the Customer ID of the person reserving, the reservation time and date. But when I click on the "update" button in my form, a text box will pop up with this:

And whatever I put in it, the runtime error "too few parameters. expected 1." pops up. Sometimes a "Reserved Error" will pop up. Could someone help me? It's the last step before I could finally finish this project.
This is my code for updating the record:
Private Sub Command8_Click()
On Error GoTo errHandling

Dim strSQL As String

strSQL = "UPDATE tblReserve SET CustomerID = " & """" & Me.txtCustID & """" & _
", ResDate = " & """" & Me.txtResDate & """" & ", ResTime = " & """" & Me.txtTime &      """" & " WHERE TableNum =" & Me.TableNum

Screenshot of VBA editor with Debug.Print strSQL

A: As revealed in our [chat][1], the essence of the problem was that [TableNum] is a text field and therefore its value had to be enclosed in quotes:
"... WHERE TableNum = '" & Me.TableNum & "'"

[1]: https://chat.stackoverflow.com/rooms/42746/discussion-between-nutellafella-and-gord-thompson)

A: Try something like this
strSQL = "UPDATE tblReserve SET CustomerID = " & Me.txtCustID & _
", ResDate = " & "'" & Me.txtResDate & "'" & ", ResTime = " & "'" & Me.txtTime & "'" &  " WHERE TableNum =" & Me.TableNum

I am not sure why you have 2 sets of double quotes inside double quotes, I think what you were looking for is single quotes :)
However, there are much better ways to format sql than this. Also this seems like homework, so study up!


The volume of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere reached a record high in 2011, according to the World Meteorological Organisation's (WMO) Greenhouse Gas Bulletin.
The amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere – the primary source of greenhouse gases emitted by human activities – reached 390.9 parts per million (ppm) last year, 40% above the pre-industrial level.
It has increased by an average of two ppm per year for the last 10 years, and is growing at a similar rate to the previous decade.
The 2007 report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) found that is the world could stablise greenhouse gas emissions below 450 ppm there would be a 50-50 chance of stay within the target of a 2°C rise in temperature.
Some campaigners and scientists now call for actions which would help reduce this level to 350 ppm.
Since the start of the industrial era in 1750, fossil fuels have been the primary source of the 375 billion metric tonnes of carbon released into the atmosphere, according to the bulletin.
"The billions of tonnes of additional carbon dioxide in our atmosphere will remain there for centuries, causing our planet to warm further and impact on all aspects of life on earth," said WMO Secretary-General Michel Jarraud. "Future emissions will only compound the situation.
Levels of methane, another long-lived greenhouse gas, have risen steadily in the past three years, after levelling off for about seven years previously. Levels of nitrous oxide also rose in 2011.
The WMO said these gases are all closely linked to human activities – fossil fuel use, deforestation and intensive agriculture – and have increased the warming effect on the climate by 30% between 1990 and 2011.
The Greenhouse Gas Bulletin reports on the atmospheric concentration of the gases, not emissions. Emissions represent what goes into the atmosphere, while concentrations are what remain in the atmosphere after the complex interactions between the atmosphere, the biosphere and the oceans.

OUR GROUP STAR RATING....
4.25 stars out of 5
Our Group Review:
"A good lie is always more dazzling than a broken truth."
Wow. We loved the twists and turns this book took us through! This suspenseful mystery was a perfect read for October. We collectively agreed that the writing was magical. Diane Setterfield has a beautiful way with words and really drew us into this "ghost story" and kept us guessing until the very end.
"There is something about words. In expert hands, manipulated deftly, they take you prisoner. Wind themselves around your limbs like spider silk, and when you are so enthralled you cannot move, they pierce your skin, enter your blood, numb your thoughts. Inside you they work their magic." ― Diane Setterfield, The Thirteenth Tale
Ashley moderated this book club and did such a wonderful job. She asked us deep thought provoking questions and provided fun entertainment of a quote quiz and Bibliotherapy recommendations.
DOWNLOAD THE THIRTEENTH TALE QUOTES QUIZ
Q: How does the truth help the main characters?
A: Vida's past about her childhood and her story of how she came to be where she is now, haunts her every day. Because she was old and ailing, she needed to tell her story. She had kept it secret for so long because she felt that it wasn't just her story to tell. It was then after she told that she found peace and could leave this life.
For Margaret, the truth had two sides. On one hand, she loved knowing that she had once had a sister. She felt that she was often with her on several occasions. On the other hand, it was hard for her to know that because of her sister's death, her mother avoided her and could never celebrate her daughter's birthday with her. This made her feel like her mother would have rather that they both die because she served as a constant reminder every time she looked at her. She also felt that maybe her mother blamed her for being the twin who took most of the nourishment.
Q: How have you felt when finding out the truth?
A: We discussed personal stories of times when we found out the truth and immediately wished for the comfort of the lie that we lived with. Other's told stories of how the truth had unburdened them but put more of a burden on the receiver. Was it best to tell the truth or should we have kept it to ourselves to be burdened with.
Ashley read this quote from the book,
"I reached for the prescription. In a vigorous scrawl, he inked: Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, The Case Book of Sherlock Holmes. Take ten pages, twice a day, till end of course."
She then told us that this quote reminded her of something she had heard of called Bibliotherapy.
Bibliotherapy is an expressive therapy that involves the reading of specific texts with the purpose of healing. It uses an individual's relationship to the content of books and poetry and other written words as therapy. Bibliotherapy is often combined with writing therapy.
Ashley provided us with prescription papers that we could write in what ailed us and read off the books for our "ailments" to write down our "prescription." SO FUN! Such a fun way to get help with things that haunt your own lives.

Here is a prescription pad I made for you to use at your own book club party!
Our discussion bounced around a LOT and we ended up talking about the book for a long time because we had so many questions and points of interest to gossip about. I've added a list of discussion questions below that you can use for your book club discussion and if we discussed a specific question I added our answers in below.
Discussion Questions for the Thirteenth Tale.
1. Much of the novel takes place in two grand estates—Angelfield and then Miss Winter's. How are the houses reflections of their inhabitants?
A: Like their inhabitants, Margaret's room and Miss Winter's home retreat from the world. The little room, hidden above the bookshop, is a sanctuary, a place for Margaret to withdraw and read, to return to her true home in the pages of the novels she loves. Like Miss Winter herself, who is "a perfect mystery" the author's home is guarded by walls and surrounded by a labyrinthine garden. The deceptiveness of the garden, where paths seem to go on forever and getting from here to there can seem impossible, mirrors the barriers Miss Winter has thrown up to those seeking her biography even Margaret. Margaret, lost in the garden, discovers the previously unsuspected presence of Emmeline in Vida Winter's home, as she eventually discovers the ghost at the center of Vida Winter's story.
Similarly, Angelfield, the ancestral home of a family in undeniable decline, riddled with incest and violence, is a disquieting place. It does not welcome, but repels.The house, like the family, turns in on itself.
2. As the story unfolds, we learn that Margaret and Miss Winter are both twins. What else do they have in common?
3. Margaret and her mother are bound by a singular loss—the death of Margaret's twin sister. How has each woman dealt with this loss, and how has it affected her life? If her parents had told her the truth about her twin, would Margaret still be haunted?
A: See our answers above
4. Books play a major role in this novel. Margaret, for example, sells books for a living. Miss Winter writes them. Most of the important action of the story takes place in libraries. There are stories within stories, all inextricably intertwined. Discuss the various roles of books, stories, and writing in this novel.
A: The Thirteenth Tale is a novel framed and shaped, virtually permeated, by books. From the fictional book referred to in its title to Margaret's deep love of books — deeper than her affection for most people — to Miss Winter's renown as a great author, books are the lifeblood of the plot. Jane Eyre, in particular, exerts an almost magical pull on the story, shaping events in ways obvious to readers of both books. Like The Thirteenth Tale, Jane Eyre is the story of a foundling raised in wretched circumstances and forced to make her own way in the world; Aurelius doesn't read far enough into the book — or know enough of his own history — to realize it is not his story, but his aunt's. The fire that destroys Angelfield, like the fire that engulfs Mr. Rochester's home, is both disfiguring and liberating, freeing the survivors from the burdens of the past even as it leaves them with scars both physical and emotional.
In the end, The Thirteenth Tale is a different book from Jane Eyre, more similar to Daphne du Maurier's Rebecca.
5. Miss Winter asks Margaret if she'd like to hear a ghost story—in fact, there seem to be several ghost stories weaving their way through. In what ways is The Thirteenth Tale a classic, gothic novel?
6. Miss Winter frequently changes points of view from third to first person, from "they" to "we" to "I," in telling Margaret her story. The first time she uses "I" is in the recounting of Isabelle's death and Charlie's disappearance. What did you make of this shifting when Margaret points it out on page 204?
7. Compare and contrast Margaret, Miss Winter, and Aurelius—the three "ghosts" of the novel who are also each haunted by their pasts.
8. It is a classic writer's axiom that a symbol must appear at least three times in a story so that the reader knows that you meant it as a symbol. In The Thirteenth Tale, the novel Jane Eyre appears several times. Discuss the appearances and allusions to Jane Eyre and how this novel echoes that one.
9. The story shifts significantly after the death of Mrs. Dunne and John Digence. Adeline steps forward as intelligent, well-spoken, and confident—the "girl in the mists" emerges. Did you believe this miraculous transformation? If not, what did you suspect was really going on?
10. Dr. Clifton tells Margaret that she is "suffering from an ailment that afflicts ladies of romantic imagination" when he learns that she is an avid reader of novels such as Wuthering Heights, Jane Eyre, and Sense and Sensibility. What do you think he means by drawing such a parallel?
A: (See our discussion about this above where we talked about Bibliotherapy.)
11. When did you first suspect Miss Winter's true identity? Whether you knew or not, looking back, what clues did she give to Margaret (and what clues did the author give to you)?
12. Margaret tells Aurelius that her mother preferred telling "weightless" stories in place of heavy ones, and that sometimes it's better "not to know." Do you agree or disagree?
13. The title of this novel is taken from the title of Miss Winter's first book, Thirteen Tales of Change and Desperation, a collection of twelve stories with a mysterious thirteenth left out at the last minute before publication. How is this symbolic of the novel? What is the thirteenth tale?
14. When do you think The Thirteenth Tale takes place? The narrator gives some hints, but never tells the exact date. Which aspects of the book gave you a sense of time, and which seemed timeless? Did the question of time affect your experience with the novel?
A: I hate not knowing things. In "present" time (at least, the time where Margaret is chatting with Vida) I noticed a lack of cell phones, and zero mention of computers. Margaret writes everything with pencil and paper, and in spite of the availability of telephones, writes plenty of letters to accomplish her widespread correspondence. This makes me think she fears long distance phone charges, perhaps? I suppose she could have just been a bit of a luddite and shunned technology, but I'm placing the "current" time roughly in the 1960s-70s. I mean, they were snowed in for 5 days with a dead body, for heaven's sake. I blame old timey snow plows.
The early story makes no mention of technology. The books that are already in publication in the library give a concrete era for the book to be set AFTER but it lacks specifics. Titles mentioned include Jane Eyre (1847), Wuthering Heights (1847), The Woman in White (1859), and Sense and Sensibility (1811). Cumpulsory education in England started somewhere around 1870, and since Hester Barrow expressed concern over the mysterious village boy not being in school, it's safe to assume this was written after that. I'm guessing somewhere in the neighborhood of 1890-1900… Which if Vida is in her 70s jives fairly well with my time frame for the "present."

Here is a step-by-step overview of the process of building a strip kayak as described in my book. The bulleted links are to videos showing the process. While building a kayak may at first appear to be a big task, it can easily be broken down into a series of small manageable tasks. None of these steps are beyond the capability of the average person who has ever wielded modest hand tools.
1. Cut 1/4" strips off a 3/4" cedar, redwood or pine plank.
2. Optional: Mill a "cove" and "bead" on each edge of the strips.
3. Obtain a fairly straight 2 x 4.
4. Draw out the building forms at full size.
5. Glue the drawings to a sheet of plywood (or particle board).
6. Cut out the forms from the plywood.
7. Thread the forms on to the 2 x 4.
8. Check alignment of the forms and secure them in place.
9. With the boat upside-down, staple a strip along the sheerline.
10. Double check the alignment of the first strip.
11. Trim the ends of the strip.
12. Repeat steps 11 and 12 on the other side.
13. Apply carpenter's glue to the top of the strip installed in the previous step.
14. Install a strip on the glue and staple tightly it in place.
15. Trim the ends of this strip and install a strip on the other side.
16. Repeat steps 13 through 15 until the strips have extended up the side and just start covering the bottom.
17. Install strips down either side of the keel, tapering the ends to fit the existing strips.
18. Fit strips into the remaining gaps. Alternate between strips following the sheerline and strips following the keel line.
19. Flip the boat over into a cradle.
20. Install the first deck strip next to the first hull strip. Do not glue this strip to the hull, just staple it in place.
21. Install strips on either side of the centerline in a similar manner to step 17.
22. Strip in the rest of the deck in a similar manner to step 18. Do not strip all the way over the cockpit.
23. Remove all the staples from the deck and hull.
24. Cut out the cockpit hole.
25. Install the coaming strips.
26. Scrape off any glue drips.
27. Plane the wood fair and smooth.
28. Sand the wood smoother.
29. Temporarily remove the deck from the forms.
30. With the hull side up, drape fiberglass over it.
31. Trim the fiberglass close to the sheer line.
32. Smooth the fiberglass with a brush.
33. Mix up a small amount of resin.
34. Pour the resin onto the middle of the hull and spread it with a squeegee.
35. Mix more resin and spread as needed. Use a brush to apply resin to dry spots.
36. Scrape off the excess resin with the squeegee.
37. Let the resin partially cure.
38. Apply fill coat of resin to the whole surface and let it cure.
39. Remove the hull from the forms and return the deck to the forms.
40. Repeat steps 30 through 39 for the deck.
41. Plane and sand the inside of the hull.
42. Fiberglass and resin the inside as you did the outside.
43. Trim off the bottom of the coaming inside the deck.
44. Plane, sand and fiberglass the inside of the deck.
45. Glue multiple laminations of hardwood around the coaming to create the lip.
46. Cut of the excess coaming above the lip, and sand smooth.
47. Install the cheek plates on the inside of the cockpit.
48. Fiberglass over the coaming lip.
49. Roughen the cured resin along the sheer line of the deck and hull with sandpaper.
50. Align the deck and hull together, securing with packing tape as you go.
51. Turn the boat onto one side and measure out some fiberglass tape for the inside seam.
52. Soak the tape in resin until it is completely saturated and then squeeze out excess.
53. Roll tape along the inside seam as far as you can reach by hand and push it the rest of the way with a stick.
54. Smooth the inside seam with a brush on the end of the stick.
55. After the first side cures repeat steps 51 through 54 for the other side.
56. Remove the packing tape on the outside.
57. Sand the outside seam smooth.
58. Lay fiberglass tape on the outside seam and resin it in place.
60. Sand the outside of the whole boat with 80 grit sand paper.
61. Apply an additional fill coat of resin in two stages to cover the deck and hull.
62. Sand with progressively finer paper up to 220 grit. Repeat step 61 if necessary.
63. With the boat on end, pour a small amount of filled resin into each end.
65. Sand with fine sandpaper.
66. Repeat 64 and 65 until bored.
67. Install the seat, backrest, footbraces and other outfitting.
70. Repeat steps 68 and 69 until you're ready to build another.
I rarely build a kayak the same way twice, so it would be a lot for me to ask of you to follow this schedule to the letter. Use it as a basis for determining your up coming tasks. Don't get hung up on fears that taking some of the steps out of order will ruin the boat. With my first boat I was so impatient that I put the boat in the water (step 70) before I installed the cockpit coaming (step 25). Obviously, I had to rearrange the steps a bit, and I may have made my task more difficult in the end, but the boat came out great.

Personality↔Alexander has a deadly fear of synthetic creature that are made from lab-engineered metals, so he will avoid lab-created organisms that have a sentinel mind. He acts extremely quiet and distant when around anyone of the female gender, since he doesn't spend a lot of time interacting with them. Although his most noticeable feature about him is that he appears to be sickly or pale from his weakened immune system, but he is able to function normal when not around toxin agents or diseases. He combined phobias and actions around others cause him to appear to others as being anti-social and distant, while at times he can be influentially intelligent and charismatic when he wants to compel others to work with him. His worst part of his personality is the fact that he appears to be unwilling to help in any situation, unless he is forced to intervene.
Traits↔He seems to be extremely well-versed in Quantum Physics and Robotics, which causes him to be easily immersed in any conversation that involves these subjects. His charisma causes him to excel in compelling others to agree to his point of view or pull of a swindle earning him a larger sum money. His best trait that combines all this knowledge is the fact that can easily comprehend how the mind works , which causes him to excel at manipulating people's thought process with his words and actions. Although it can be his downfall as well, because he can easily underestimate people's intelligence to comprehend his rather large vocabulary and line of work.
Flaws↔He seems to be distant and unwilling to work with others in any society, because of his ability to travel through space and time. This effect comes from his fear of messing with the space-time continuum and causing the destruction of the universe from changing history.
Time Travel - He can travel through time or different dimensions by using his tech suit and its specially designed energy called, "omni-molecules". His time travel ability opens a swirling portal around him, which requires him to stay with in the appearing portal and stand completely still. His suit drains 50 off the energy stored with in his suit that can hold a max of 500 of the "omni-molecules". His time travel takes three full posts that for the ability to be used. For the ability to be used he must be wearing his tech-suit for it be able to be used.
Temporal Locking - He grabs a hold of an enemy and transport them to any point in time before he leaves them trapped there. Although anyone that has the chronolock or temporal lock, while be able to leave the time that they are left in and return to the correct time. This ability requires him and the target to be in personnel contact with one another and standing completely still. It also requires a massive energy amount of 200 to use the ability and five posts as well.
Chronolock - He is considered to be in his own personnel timeline, which allows him to travel through time without the harmful aging affects on his body. It also gives him a semi-form of immortality, because he can't die by aging effects or old age. He also appears to be at the age of 16 and never ages. He can die by normal means, but the tech suit has almost completely destroyed his immune system to the point that any toxin or diseases can easily kill him faster than other ways. This ability is passive and doesn't require any energy.
He can't hide from anyone that has the temporal presence ability or the ability to manipulate time. Thus meaning it is useless to try and hide from another person able to travel through time.
He is also weak against electricity, magnets and harmful agents to the body.
Extra↔ Tech-Armor – Allows time travel via quantum physics and gives sterile living environment to counteract his non-existent immune system.

Fear Inducement - The user can make people unwillingly very frightened. The user psychically provokes the target's brain to release fear-inducing chemicals.
The victim's perception is altered, they may see their environment as ominous and the user as dark and foreboding, or even seen as a monster. Can augment the effect to make others go near insane. The effect expires within one to several hours, unless maintained by the user of the power. The user can also paralyze a person in fear or kill them by giving them a heart attack.
Some users may be able to sense fear, or gain strength from fear of others. Others might be able to enhance the effect by using it on a sleeping victim rather than an aware one.
Nerve Gas generation - User can generate Nerve Gas, which can effect the target via breathing or skin contact. This nerve gas causes the person that comes in contact with it to witness hallucinations or the darkest fears by causing the nervous system to release massive amounts of fear-inducing compounds in the brain. These gas can be made into a liquid through a special process that she developed or into a pill. It takes two post for her to gather the needed energy to use this ability.
Fearful Scream - The user is able to scream a very loud scream that echoes for miles and causes shocking fear in others. Either the victims are frozen up, scream endless or runs away in terror. Users with fear masking can be immune to this power.
Fear Augmentation - The user is able to augment the fears of others. They could make an aerophobe so afraid of flying that they never set foot on a plane/airport or even die of fright when the plane flies. Any fear can be amplified to the point of the victim dying of fright, usually a heart-attack. The user of this power can sense the targets fears or phobias so they can use the power effectively.
Apathy grants immunity to this power and the power is useless if you can't sense someone's fear or know what they are afraid of.
Fear Perception - The user can discern and instantly understand the greatest fears of other beings. They are able to truly observe the most hidden of fears within an opponent and use those fears to their advantage. Ineffective against those with fear masking as they are effectively fearless.
Motto(s)↔There is no passion that so contagious as fear.


Unemployment insurance is a government insurance system established to protect workers by paying benefits during periods of involuntary unemployment (i.e. when a business lays off employees, downsizes staff or eliminates positions).
Typically, unemployment is not available for staff members who quit or are terminated for conduct. Unemployment insurance is funded through payroll taxes paid by employers.
The unemployment insurance process can be complex and represents a considerable risk to a business' bottom line. Instead of facing this risk alone, Nevada employers can turn to an experienced provider of unemployment insurance administration. NAE has decades of experience with unemployment insurance administration and is the only third-party provider of these services in Nevada.
When you choose to work with NAE, you gain an experienced partner that will support you through every stage of the unemployment insurance process.
The process begins when the former employee files a claim for unemployment. NAE will respond to the claim on your behalf. Typically, this involves providing information to the State of Nevada Employment Security Division explaining the reasons that the employee separated from the employer. Throughout the process NAE serves as your liaison with the State of Nevada Employment Security Division, including responding to all inquiries on your behalf.
When the State of Nevada Employment Security Division makes a decision regarding the claim, either party—the employer or the former employee—may dispute the decision. If you would like to dispute the decision, NAE will work with you on presenting your case to the Appeals Referee. Whether you or the former employee appeal the decision, NAE will represent you and your interests at a hearing before the Appeals Referee.
As your unemployment insurance administrator, NAE receives, reviews, and will dispute erroneous charges on quarterly statement and annual tax rate notices from the State of Nevada Employment Security Division. To ensure you are always informed, NAE will prepare unemployment insurance activity reports for your review.
To learn more about the benefits of unemployment insurance administration and how NAE can help, please contact NAE at (775) 329-4241 or info@nevadaemployers.org.


Jean Pierre Ndossoka stabs children dead after Sabine Ntongo, wife drops them off for visit.

Jean Pierre Ndossoka a Houston, Texas man stabs his eight year old and one year old daughter dead following the man's estranged wife, Sabine Ntongo dropping the children off for a family visit.
A Texas father suspected of fatally stabbing his two children in Houston and fleeing the crime scene has been hospitalized after police found him with a self-inflicted gunshot wound in his car.
Houston cops say 61-year-old father Jean Pierre Ndossoka was taken to a hospital in stable condition Sunday after authorities found him in Pasadena, just southeast of Houston.
Court records show he's charged with capital murder.
Officials began searching for the father Saturday, shortly after his estranged wife found their 8-year-old son and 1-year-old daughter dead at a Houston home.
Police say the mother dropped off the children for a visitation with their father, only to later call and tell her the children were dead. Earlier reports told of the man calling the mother and threatening of killing the children.
Upon arriving at the apartment a short while later, the mother, Sabine Ntongo found the couple's two children lying dead on the bed.
Told HPD Assistant Chief Wendy Baimbridge, 'At that point she came back to the apartment and she found them deceased and the husband had fled the scene'.
The mother also called police as she raced to the apartment complex located at 10900 block of Fondren, Houston.
Not immediately clear is what led to the father stabbing his own children and whether the estranged couple were embroiled in a custody battle….
Pictured the Fondren, Houston home of Jean Pierre Ndossoka where the two children were found dead.
Abc13 reported the couple emigrated to the U.S. from the Congo several years ago, with naturalized citizens.
Of note, Patrice Nsuary a cousin of the mother, described Ndossoka as verbally abusive to his estranged wife.
Adding, 'They were good, normal kids'.
Upon the mother leaving Ndossoka, the relative told of the woman taking the children with her, only for the father to protest.
Offered Nsuary, '…but he wanted to see the children every day'.
Chron reported the estranged couple having been married for six years and recently separating.
Ndossoka doesn't appear to have any prior criminal history in Harris County. He's due in court Monday morning at 9 p.m., in front of Judge Robert Johnson.
Court records don't list an attorney for Ndossoka. If he's found guilty, the father could face a death sentence.

Jordi García González, més conegut com a Cholo García (Barcelona, 2 de maig de 1961) és un atleta català especialista en camp a través i en curses de fons.

Nascut a Barcelona, fill de pare andalús i mare catalana, es formà i començà a competir al Club Natació Montjuïc, a les ordres d'Enrique Félez, com a entrenador. El 1980 fitxà pel FC Barcelona. El febrer de 1980 es proclamà, amb gran rotunditat i comoditat, campió d'Espanya júnior de camp a través al campionat celebrat a l'hipòdrom de Lasarte, a Sant Sebastià. A més hi havia vençut aquell any en la seva categoria en els cros d'Elgóibar i Sant Sebastià. Dues setmanes després d'haver guanyat el campionat d'Espanya, el març d'aquell mateix any, al VIII Campionat de Món de Camp a Través celebrat a l'hipòdrom de Longchamp, al costat del Bosc de Boulogne, a París, es convertí en el primer atleta estatal que guanyà un Mundial de cros en categoria júnior. Aquest títol s'afegí a l'estatal júnior. En categoria absoluta, competí en quatre edicions més del Mundial, els anys 1981, 1982, 1983 i 1984. En l'àmbit català, el 1983 guanyà un títol absolut de camp a través i en el Campionat d'Espanya acredità dues terceres posicions els anys 1983 i 1984. El 1983 passà de nou a les files del CN Montjuïc, a les ordres de Gregorio Rojo. En pista, la seva distància preferida foren els 5.000 metres, on millorà tres vegades el rècord català, la darrera el 1983. El mateix any, establí també una plusmarca catalana de 3.000 metres. El 1983 fou semifinalista en els 5.000 metres en la primera edició del Mundial, i participà en els Jocs Olímpics d'Estiu de 1984. També ha destacat en la modalitat de les curses en ruta, aconseguint dues victòries consecutives, els anys 1981 i 1982, en la clàssica i popular Cursa Jean Bouin. La carrera esportiva de Jordi Garcia va ser curta, però intensa. Amb vint-i-tres anys anys, un accident de trànsit i diverses lesions estroncaren la seva trajectòria esportiva.

UFO report details 'difficult to explain' sightings, says US ex-intelligence director
April 10, 2021 April 10, 2021 Uploaded 0 Comments
US military pilots and satellites have recorded 'a lot more' UFO sightings than have been made public, John Ratcliffe says
US military pilots and satellites have recorded "a lot more" sightings of unidentified flying objects, or UFOs, than have been made public, Donald Trump's former intelligence director John Ratcliffe said.
Asked on Fox News about a forthcoming government report on "unidentified aerial phenomena", Ratcliffe said the report would document previously unknown sightings from "all over the world".
"Frankly, there are a lot more sightings than have been made public," he said.
"Some of those have been declassified. And when we talk about sightings, we are talking about objects that have been seen by navy or air force pilots, or have been picked up by satellite imagery, that frankly engage in actions that are difficult to explain, movements that are hard to replicate, that we don't have the technology for.
"Or traveling at speeds that exceed the sound barrier without a sonic boom."
The UFO report must be published by early June, pursuant to a clause in a Covid relief and spending package signed by Trump before he left office.
Ratcliffe served about eight months as director of national intelligence at the end of Trump's term. Earlier, Trump moved to nominate Ratcliffe for the role but Ratcliffe withdrew over concerns he had exaggerated and fibbed about his experience as a prosecutor in Texas.
"I actually wanted to get this information out and declassify it before I left office," Ratcliffe said, "but we weren't able to get it down into an unclassified format that we were able to talk about quickly enough."
The forthcoming report is to be issued by the defense department and intelligence agencies. When an unidentified aerial phenomena is identified, Ratcliffe said, analysts try to explain it as a potential weather disturbance or other routine spectacle.

Q: Can I access LINQPad's C# code from html elements? I have C# code that encrypt/decrypt strings.
void Main()
{

    string myParameters = "val=tKsXHtj03UhASw4TRFMlqg%3d%3d";
    Calc(myParameters).Dump();

}

string Calc(string str)
{
 using (WebClient wc = new WebClient())
    {
        //return from WEBAPI....
    }
}

But I also know that I can create html via Util.RawHtml , so I won't need to change the code every time.
So , I added this :
Util.RawHtml("<input type='text' id='tbData' />

 <input type='button' id='btnCalc' value='Calc'/>

 ").Dump();

So now it looks like :

But I need to run C# code from the button click ( which is html)
Question:
Is it possible to do such thing with Linqpad ?
How can I run Calc() after clicking the button? ( and read the value from the textbox)
linqpad: 4.55.03 (anycpu)

A: This is not a direct answer, but in the absence of a proper answer, here are two alternative methods which I have used which might help
The first is simply using Util.ReadLine() in a loop, eg
void Main()
{
    do
    {
        Calc(Util.ReadLine()).Dump();
    }
    while (true);
}

string Calc(string str)
{
    using (System.Net.WebClient wc = new System.Net.WebClient())
    {
        return "from WEBAPI....";
    }
}

The second is to use WPF elements rather then HMTL, eg
void Main()
{
    var lbl1 = new TextBlock{ Text = "Input value ", MinWidth = 70 } ;
    var lbl2 = new TextBlock{ Text = "Results     ", MinWidth = 70  } ;

    var tb  = new TextBox{   MinWidth = 500 } ;

    var btn = new Button { Content = " Calc " };
    btn.HorizontalAlignment = System.Windows.HorizontalAlignment.Left;
    btn.Margin = new System.Windows.Thickness(5,1,1,1);
    btn.MaxWidth = 100;

    var results = new TextBlock{ Text = ""  } ;
    btn.Click += (sender, args) => { results.Text = Calc(tb.Text); } ;

    var panel1 = new DockPanel();
    panel1.Children.Add(lbl1);
    panel1.Children.Add(tb);
    panel1.Children.Add(btn);

    var panel2 = new DockPanel();
    panel2.Children.Add(lbl2);
    panel2.Children.Add(results);

    PanelManager.StackWpfElement(panel1, "Example");
    PanelManager.StackWpfElement(panel2, "Example");
}

which should produce something like

The First World War from another point of view
Posted by Helen Monday, July 20, 2015 historians, Russia, World War I
As last year's overwhelming and not always accurate memorials to the outbreak of the First World War slide away into memory, we can start discussing the subject a little more seriously and look at the conflict as well as its aftermath, the Versailles order, from other points of view. In January after watching Testament of Youth, I wrote a dissatisfied posting. I had hoped that the centenary would bring out more than just more stuff about the Western front, the mud, the barbed wire, the sensitive young men hardened by the horrors, etc etc. The film, as I said, was very much in that group and not a particularly good example of it, either. As it happens, the film did not garner particularly good reviews and disappeared from the cinema screens surprisingly quickly. Had everyone had enough of the whole subject by the beginning of this year? Or was the film simply not appealing enough?
There were, of course, a number of serious historical works published as well and, maybe, I should do a blog about some of them but the one that came out recently is of superlative interest to anyone who really wants to know about the causes of the war, its development and its aftermath.
The book is called Towards the Flame and subtitled Empire, War and the End of Tsarist Russia and is by the eminent historian, Professor Dominic Lieven (yes, he is of that family though not, I believe, a direct descendant of the Russian Ambassador of the early nineteenth century).
Professor Lieven chastises his colleagues, historians in the English-speaking world for concentrating too much on the Western European aspect of the war. In his Introduction he says:
This underlines a basic point about the First World War: contrary to the near-universal assumption in the English-speaking world, the war was first and foremost an eastern European conflict. Its immediate origins lat in the murder of the Austrian heir at Sarajevo in southeastern Europe. The assassination of Franz Ferdinand on June 28, 1914, led to a confrontation between Austria and Russia, eastern Europe's two great empires. France and Britain were drawn into what started as a conflict in eastern Europe above all because of fears for their own security: the victory of the Austro-German alliance over Russia would tilt the European balance of power decisively towards Berlin and Vienna.
The question before 1914 was who would be the dominant power in Central and Eastern Europe: Germany and Russia, with Austria-Hungary (as it was by then) naturally inclining to support Germany.
Germany, says Professor Lieven, did not really have to win in the West: a draw would have been sufficient as long as Russia was defeated, something that was confidently predicted by 1916. In the end, Russia's defeat did not help Germany as the war in the West ended with the Allies' victory, thanks to the American entry into the war and those Eastern gains had to be surrendered.
I must admit this all seems fairly obvious to me but, perhaps, not to a number of better known historians. (Much better known.)
The Versailles order, set up in the wake of the victory in the West could be put together only because the situation in the East was rather peculiar. A war that started as a bitter to-the-death contest between Russia and Germany ended with both countries defeated and destroyed. It was, therefore, possible to dismember the Austro-Hungarian Empire and set up a number of small states that could not defend themselves against a strong and aggressive Germany or Russia (or, perhaps, both as it happened in 1939 in Poland and the Baltic states). The assumption that this state of affairs could go on indefinitely was rather strange. Sooner or later and probably sooner rather than later Germany and/or Russia would become strong again and there would be another catastrophe for Europe. So it turned out. The Versailles order that had excluded both Germany and Russia was inherently unstable.
Ah yes, but the USA who was instrumental in setting up the League of Nations to curb over mighty powers, notably in Europe, then ratted on the deal and went its own way, which changed every four years.
tonyon Says:
I am not really sure what on earth you are talking about Tonyon but as your rant does not really break the rules I follow for comments, I shall leave it up.
Demetrius, the USA was not instrumental in setting up the League of Nations. President Woodrow Wilson may have been but, according to the US Constitution, such matters have to be ratified by the Senate who chose not to. Probably rightly. It was not a serious player and, in any case, none of that altered the fact that the small states between Germany and Russia could survive independently only until neither of those two great powers wanted to expand. As Professor Lieven says, neither Germany nor Russia were part of the Versailles agreement, a state of affairs that was bound to lead to trouble.
Of course, accepting that the War was primarily an eastern European conflict supports the view that Britain should have tried harder to avoid being dragged into such a destructive conflict in support of the Tsarist dictatorship.
