I'm almost 100% sure of the composition of this cover. The four kids framing the open wardrobe. I'm pretty sure the lamp post was centered. And I know there were fur coats and pine trees. This was not one of my favorite covers--in fact, I think it might be in the bottom two. I'm really looking forward to seeing the real image and how close (or far) I got to it.
I remember every story element that appeared on the cover; the coats, the snowy landscape and the lamp post. I also firmly remember the Snow Queen (is that what she was called?) giving Edmund the Turkish Delight--which in my mind was something like teriyaki beef jerky, it never seemed like candy to me, definitely beef jerky. I also remember that Santa Claus/Father Christmas shows up(?) And I remember that the Snow Queen could freeze people into statues.
How they beat the Snow Queen, or, really, anything besides the stuff above.
Now, I saw the movie they made of this book, back when it came out. But I remember it even less than I do the book. I do remember that Tilda Swinton was the best part, and I remember thinking the kids in the movie made the wrong choice: when choosing sides between Tilda Swinton and a lumpy CGI lion, you should ALWAYS choose Tilda Swinton.
So, I just googled and I'm pretty sure there are more separate covers for this book than for any other book I have ever seen (except maybe the Bible, but that's always the exception). I know which one you're aiming for, though, so good job.
Whoops! Just realized I wasn't supposed to google until the very end. Shucks.
Hey, I remember these covers. They were awesome. The current covers are pretty lame by comparison.
It's okay, Q, feel free to google. I'm the one who's not allowed to look. I don't want to look until the end, because I'm sure I'll see other titles in the series by accident.
You're right--they do look like Beatles! That cracks me up.
I wasn't sure what covers you were talking about until I saw this--these are actually the covers I grew up with as well, and I still have some of the books with these covers on my bookshelf.
This is the series I have on my bookshelf. I got them through book orders at school in 4th grade. It was like CHristmas morning when I carried them home.
The covers are all coming back to me now. The easiest one for me to picture is the Silver Chair.
Clint thinks Tilda Swinton is hot, also. I think men who read a lot of fantasy like the elfish look.
I think I still have this boxed set somewhere (maybe at my mother's house?), so if you can't track down the covers--and I didn't find them on the first 4 or 5 pages of a Google search--I can scan them for you at the end of things.
Did anyone else get into C. S. Lewis by reading THE LION, THE WITCH etc in their Sunday School reader--it was serialized along witht the Bible in comics.
Will, I am preempting your answer a bit here. I didn't realize cover art trivia made me all wound up and competitive, but I work at a book store and got google fever. Current cover artists that I've seen: Pauline Baynes'(who did the original drawings), David Wiesner, Chris Van Allsburg, and Cliff Nielson, whose overtly digital version seems to garner many "lame" comments.
The cover artist for Nathan's psychedelic version is Roger Hane.
Nathan, all this will be useful to you... ah, later. No peaking.
I have this boxed set as well! Inherited from my brother Jason, actually.
BTW, she's the White Witch.
Also, in the '80's cartoon movie, the Turkish Delight looks like chocolates, and Edmund was all sticky when he was done, leading my family to salivate over Turkish Delight . . . which we later discovered is actually nasty dried apricots coated with nuts and powdered sugar. My whole childhood was destroyed.
Sounds like there are a lot of fans of these old covers. I'm glad to hear so many of you had them.
Ron, I've never heard of that. Serialized in a Sunday School reader? I had no idea. That's fascinating. I didn't catch on to the underlying Christian message as a kid. I thought it was all just dragons and talking animals. I'm not sure how I would have felt about it if it had been presented as a Sunday School lesson.


Creating a website may seem like an enormous undertaking. How do you even know where to start? On the other hand, with the abundance of companies encouraging you to create your own website, it may appear to be a simple task after all. But which is it?
One of the biggest challenges in doing anything well, is "how do you know what you don't know." In other words, how do you know if you're missing something? Websites, like art, music, vehicles, or a lot of other things, can fall anywhere on the scale from excellent to cringe-worthy. And since an exceptional website, like a well-functioning engine, contains many parts working together, it only takes one part to be forgotten, mismanaged, or broken, to severely impact the effectiveness of your website.
Here are some things you need to consider when creating a website. We intend to cover each of these in greater detail in future posts, so check back to find more information!
What's available? Lots of great domains are taken already! If you're hoping for a one-word or two-word domain (like CarSales.com), don't expect to find the .com version available. But you never know, you might get lucky!
Alternate Spellings / Misspellings – if your domain contains a word that is commonly misspelled or has multiple spellings, you might need to purchase the "misspelled" versions so your visitors can find you easily.
TLDs (.com, .ca, .org, .net, etc.) – there are now more than 1,000 different suffixes for your domain name. This definitely increases the options out there, and can allow you to get the exact name you are looking for. However, consider that most people are more familiar with and trusting of .com domains, and some of the less common suffixes can be confusing or less memorable to your visitors. If you can get .com, do it! Or use a country suffix (we use .ca to show we are Canadian and proud!).
Keywords – to increase your visibility to search engines, you might consider using keywords from your business in your domain name – petersautorepair.com is going to give you better search engine visibility for a car repair shop than petersmith.com.
Competition – you may want to purchase multiple domain names to avoid competitors picking them up. This is not often a necessity, but can be something to consider.
For a more detailed look at domains, check out our blog post How to Pick a Great Domain!
Let us work with you to research the best possible options for your site's domain name, and then set us to work creating a website to go with it!
Hosting is where you display your website for the world to access. A web host is a company that provides online "space" for you to rent, where you can put your website, so that it will be accessible 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.
When creating a website, choosing your web host is important – while it is possible to switch hosts at a later date, it can be time consuming and result in downtime for your site if not done correctly.
Technical Specifications – Do I get enough space, add-on domains, databases, email addresses, etc. for my needs? Is there room to grow if my needs increase?
Reliability – Is my site likely to go down for hours without any notice? What is their track record?
Customer Service – How easy are the support team to deal with if/when I have an issue? Do they offer support via email/phone/text/chat? How quickly will I get a response?
Price – How much do I have to pay? Am I getting more or less than what my site needs?
At Effortless Web Solutions, we do offer hosting packages to most of our clients. However, if you have an existing relationship with another web host, we would be happy to work with them when creating a website for your business or organization.
Oh, what it must have been like back in the good-old-days before hacking and malware became so prevalent. Nowadays, there are entire companies whose sole purpose is to keep your website secure from attack.
There are many ways to "harden" your site to make sure it is secure from attacks. Check back soon for our detailed post on this!
What does your website need to be able to do? What is it that your visitors are looking for when they visit?
Even the simplest of sites may need modules like a Contact Form, a Product Gallery or Calendar of Events. Or, you may have more unique requirements like calculators, private content for members only, discussion forums, etc.
No matter what your requirements, we can make them a reality. Or, if you have an existing site that needs new functionality, contact us today to see how we can help with creating a website for you!
Of course, functionality is important, but so is a beautiful site that showcases the heart and soul of your business, organization or project. An aesthetically pleasing design will make your website easier to access, and it will keep your visitors around longer.
At Effortless Web Solutions, we believe that there is a wide variety of opinions on what "looks good." We provide our clients with a professionally designed, beautiful website, but we always start off with a conversation about what you like, so that we will end up with something you are proud to show off to your friends, colleagues and customers.
Take a look at our Portfolio to see some examples of what we have created. Like our style? Send us a message so we can connect! We'd love to start creating a website for you!
Once you have a website up and running, you're done, right? Wrong. Creating a website and launching it is like opening a new store – now someone has to manage it, maintain it and update it!
A "stale" website will not perform well in Search Engines, since Google and others consider new and fresh content in page ranking. But, sometimes all you need is a simple site to let your clients know who and where you are, and what you do. Even so, changes like updating your business hours, or adding some new pictures are necessary every once in a while.
At Effortless Web Solutions, we like to make things simple. That's why our hosting packages include 2 or more hours of content updates every month, so you never have to worry about how much it's going to cost to make the changes you need. That's on top of all of the behind-the-scenes updates and security checks we do to make sure everything is running smoothly.
SEO and SEM are techniques we use to drive traffic to your site. After all, having an impressive website is no good if no one is visiting, right? SEO and SEM work hand in hand to bring the right people to your site and achieve your goals!
Search Engine Optimization (SEO) refers to techniques we use to improve your ranking in organic search results – so that when someone searches for terms related to your business, you show up as high on the list as possible. This includes content creation, HTML optimization, and many other techniques.
Search Engine Marketing (SEM) are the paid ads you see on Google and other search engines – SEM is the practise of purchasing those ads to tell people about your website, your business, and why they should connect with you.
SEO and SEM consultations are another aspect of creating a website that we would love to help you with. If you have a website that isn't generating the traffic you would like, drop us a line and let's discuss some strategies to get the right people to see your site!
After creating a website, it's important to make sure to set up the analytics to start collecting the visitor data. If that's an area of your site we can help with, feel free to contact us!
There are lots of components required to create and maintain an excellent website. Everything from choosing a domain name and web hosting company, and ensuring proper security, to the design and development of a well-designed and functional site, and then the marketing, maintenance and monitoring that follows – there is a lot to consider.
If you are keen to teach yourself and master each area, it is possible to do it all yourself. Like many people, however, you may choose to find an expert who is familiar with all the components and experienced in what it takes to make your site exceptional.
At Effortless Web Solutions, our aim is to allow our clients to work at the business they love and are passionate about, and leave the technical requirements of creating a website to us. That's what we love to do!

Q: Aligning output on the right in c++ #include<iostream>
#include<iomanip>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
    cout << right << "Hello" << setw(10) << "World\n";
    cout << right << "Goodbye"  << setw(10) << "World\n";
}

Why does this result in output like:
Hello    World
Goodbye    World

Rather than:
Hello    World
Goodbye  World

What am I doing wrong here?
EDIT:
#include<iostream>
#include<iomanip>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
    cout    << "Hello"  <<  " World";
    cout << right << setw(10) << "today\n";
    cout   << "Goodbye"  <<  " World";
    cout << right << setw(10) << "today\n";
}

If I try this, why is the "today" part misaligned?

A: Change the order of the operators to solve this problem:
#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>

int main()
{
    std::cout << std::left << std::setw(10) << "Hello" << "World\n";
    std::cout << std::left << std::setw(10) << "Goodbye" << "World\n";
    return 0;
}

*

*You have to place all operators before the value you like to format.

*Avoid using using namespace std.

The std::setw() operator sets the field with for the next value. And the std::left or std::right operators set the position of the value in this field.
This example
std::cout << std::left << std::setw(10) << "word1"
    << std::right << std::setw(20) << "word2" << std::endl;

Will create this kind of formatting:
AAAAAAAAAABBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB
word1                    word2

You see there is a first "field" with 10 characters in which the first text is placed, and a second "field" with 20 characters in which the second word is placed right aligned. But if the text in the first field is longer than the field, this happens:
AAAAAAAAAA....BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB
word1istoolong               word2

The second field is just shifted the number of characters. The stream never keeps track of the current position, it just build the output using "fields" of a given size.
To justify text for a given page with, use code like this:
#include <iostream>
#include <sstream>
#include <list>

const int pageWidth = 78;
typedef std::list<std::string> WordList;

WordList splitTextIntoWords( const std::string &text )
{
    WordList words;
    std::istringstream in(text);
    std::string word;
    while (in) {
        in >> word;
        words.push_back(word);
    }
    return words;
}

void justifyLine( std::string line )
{
    size_t pos = line.find_first_of(' ');
    if (pos != std::string::npos) {
        while (line.size() < pageWidth) {
            pos = line.find_first_not_of(' ', pos);
            line.insert(pos, " ");
            pos = line.find_first_of(' ', pos+1);
            if (pos == std::string::npos) {
                pos = line.find_first_of(' ');
            }
        }
    }
    std::cout << line << std::endl;
}

void justifyText( const std::string &text )
{
    WordList words = splitTextIntoWords(text);

    std::string line;
    for (WordList::const_iterator it = words.begin(); it != words.end(); ++it) {
        if (line.size() + it->size() + 1 > pageWidth) { // next word doesn't fit into the line.
            justifyLine(line);
            line.clear();
            line = *it;
        } else {
            if (!line.empty()) {
                line.append(" ");
            }
            line.append(*it);
        }
    }
    std::cout << line << std::endl;
}

int main()
{
    justifyText("This small code sample will format a paragraph which "
        "is passed to the justify text function to fill the "
        "selected page with and insert breaks where necessary. "
        "It is working like the justify formatting in text "
        "processors.");
    return 0;
}

This example justifies each line to fill the given page with at the begin. It works by splitting the text into words, filling lines with these words, and justifies each line to exactly match the width.

A: The problem is, at the point you call setw, the output stream does not remember about printing "Hello" or "Goodbye".
Try this to produce the output you desire:
#include<iostream>
#include<iomanip>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
    cout << left << setw(10) << "Hello" << "World\n";
    cout << left << setw(10) << "Goodbye" << "World\n";
}

A: This is a solution using std::format (C++20):
#include <format>
#include <iostream>

int main() {
    std::cout << std::format("{:10}{:}\n", "Hello",   "World");
    std::cout << std::format("{:10}{:}\n", "Goodbye", "World");
    }

A: try this -
    cout << right << "Hello" << "\t" << "World\n";
    cout << right << "Goodbye"  <<  "\t" << "World\n";

At the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers two-day seminar, a nationally recognized faculty of experts and leading litigators will provide their expertise on the latest Fourth Amendment issues, including how the Fourth Amendment applies to 21st century communications.
On April 19, Kobie Flowers presented "Litigating Traffic Stops & Auto Searches." Kobie provided a theory that will increase the probability of winning any 4th Amendment motion to suppress. Beyond theory, Kobie gave proven practice pointers to increase the chance of success at a suppression hearing. Finally, those who attended walked away from this presentation with not only the latest law in hand, but also a better understanding of the rubber-meets-the-road reality of the 4th Amendment by way of Kobie's use of videos, the latest statistics, and even a documentary.
Follow up – Out of all the presentations from well-regarded lawyers, Kobie's peers rated his presentation as tied for the best.


Hey everyone its Ainsley here from Teen Music Insider and today we have a very special guest with us. If you spend hours on end watching youtube videos online and you are looking for someone new to start watching then I would recommend you read this interview! So without further ado, our special guest is Sean!
So Sean, I have seen a few of your videos and they are hilarious What made you want to start making videos on youtube?
Well thanks! Yeah I watch youtube videos just like pretty much everyone else with an iPhone these days. Also being obsessed with other online creators like Colleen Ballinger, Joshua Evans, Shane Dawson etc probably had something to do with it. Even some of my friends made me want to start creating videos like Kaelyn from "Seven Super Girls" and Gracie of "xgraciefacie". So it was bound for me to start sometime.
I try to do a good mix of everything on my channel because I always have random thoughts, but my favorite are Q&A's because I love seeing the questions my followers come up with and come up with as soon as I say there's an upcoming #AskSean.
Are you going to stick with making videos and try to make a career out of it?
I will try my best to stick with making videos as i continue with school and whatever career I find myself in, and if I can make a career out of it in the meantime even better!
Are you wanting to act some too?
I am obsessed with television probably because it's so accessible now like Netflix, and I want to be in the entertainment field somehow whether that be acting, voice acting, or behind the scenes.
I don't know who came up with it, but some fan pages call themselves "Seanators". I still don't even call them fans because they seem more like a whole bunch of internet friends that all love a bunch of the same things as me.
On one of your recent videos you talked about how much you love Ariana Grande and Beyonce. What other artist do you love?
YES! I love Ariana and beyonce and have seen them both live.. Just throwing it out there they are A-mazing. But I also listen to alot of rap/R&B artists like Drake, Rihanna, Big Sean. I can't forget friends of mine Megan Miller, Savion Wright, Devin Velez, and Jill Jenson who are super talented and always come out with great stuff.
Have you met anyone you were totally starstruck by?
For sure! When I met Zendaya who is just a goddess My face was red and I could barely spit out my name, but luckily I did because I saw her later that day and I said hey again and she remembered it after seeing so many people.
Whats your favorite song at the moment?
Anything off Ariana Grande's new album!
Can we expect a lot more video content up soon?
Yes! Some reaction videos have been taken down because of copyright, but I have been brainstorming ways around it!
Are you planning any collaborations for your channel anytime soon?
I have a friend who just started a channel who I did a photoshoot for a local brand with so You might see her sometime soon!
Like youtube, you also have a huge following on twitter. Has it been hard to grow an audience of over 10K on twitter?
It's taken awhile, but it's fun for me cause it's like gaining a new person to talk to and hear from every time i gain a follower.
Last question, Many people in our generation are starting to create content to post on youtube. What advice can you give my followers about how to make yourself standout on such a big platform like youtube?
Have fun with it, even if your not gaining a big audience right away. Be you and post as much as you can!
We just wanted to say thank you again for doing this interview with us and we can't wait to see what the future holds for you.
Of course, loved talking with you and would love to do it again in the future!

Улица А́льберта (; историческое русское название Альбертовская) — улица в центре Риги, соединяет улицы Стрелниеку и Антонияс. Длина улицы — .

История
Улица Альберта была заложена в честь 700-летия города и названа именем основателя Риги Альберта фон Буксгевдена. Улица Альберта была построена за 2 года. Улица Альберта считается жемчужиной югендстиля. Памятниками архитектуры признаны 8 домов. Большая часть домов на улице Альберта построена по проектам Михаила Эйзенштейна. В Латвийской ССР улица носила имя революционера Фрициса Гайлиса.

Достопримечательности
 д. 1 — был построен архитекторами Генрихом Шелем и Фридрихом Шеффелем в 1901 году. Дом занимает угловой участок на пересечении улиц Антонияс и Альберта. Дом был отреставрирован в 2009 году. Во время обучения в Латвийском университете в доме проживала известная латвийская эссеистка и писательница Зента Мауриня . В этом доме, в квартире № 1, во второй рижский период проживал общественный деятель и журналист, отец Елены Сергеевны Булгаковой и Ольги Сергеевны Бокшанской Сергей Маркович Нюренберг, а потом его вдова Александра Александровна, которую навещала Ольга Сергеевна.
 д. 2а — здание было построено в 1906 году по проекту архитектора Михаила Осиповича Эйзенштейна, занимавшего пост начальника отдела дорожного движения губернской управы. Был доходным домом Богуславского. Считается последним домом Эйзенштейна, выполненным в стиле декоративного модерна. Здание характеризует необычная примета — ложный этаж, который является наиболее эффективным проводником солнечного света (солярный культ очень много значил в архитектурной концепции модерна), а также позволяет сконцентрировать на себе декоративность (то есть ложный этаж функционировал как дополнительное место для размещения декоративных элементов). В то же время он был просто необходим, исходя из общего эстетического принципа равенства фасадов, которые должны были располагаться на одной линии.

Над входами в здание можно увидеть две женские скульптурные фигуры (условные оперные певицы) с факелами (один из факелов отвалился с течением времени), одетые в «мокрые одежды», модные на рубеже XIX и XX веков. В то же время скульптурные изображения являются символами очищения и неограниченной силы огня. Вглубь здания, во внутренний двор, в соответствии с проектами лейпцигских доходных жилых домов ведёт широкий проход. Входы обрамляют два сфинкса, зарисованные Сергеем Эйзенштейном в десятилетнем возрасте. Также заслуживает внимание взаиморасположенность четырёх уровней-стихий, плавно переходящих друг в друга, на которые архитектор условно разделил фасад здания: земля — вода — огонь — воздух, а также цветовой контраст между серым облицовочным материалом и красным кафелем (уровень «огня»).

В доме с 1909 по 1915 год прошли первые годы жизни Исайи Берлина, которому суждено было стать философом с мировым именем, основоположником нового направления философской мысли. Лучший друг Рандольфа Черчилля, встречавшийся с Анной Ахматовой в послевоенном Ленинграде. Отец дал ему фамилию своего приёмного деда, владельца нескольких мануфактур.

С 1916 по 1930 год дом принадлежал латвийской домовладелице по фамилии Лубе. В это время в здании функционировали школа акушеров и родильная клиника, в которой работал доктор Юрьян. В одной из квартир проживал оперный певец Йослевич со своей супругой.

 д. 2 — здание было построено архитектором Эйзенштейном в 1906 году. Сперва было доходным домом богатого рижского домовладельца Богуславского, после революционных событий перешло во владение госпожи Лубе. Здание отличает умеренная декоративная составляющая и подчёркнутая вертикальность (как в случае с соседним зданием); также заслуживает внимания параметрическая игра архитектора с арочными изображениями и оконными проёмами.

В здании располагалась квартира генерального консула Бельгийского королевства в Латвийской республике Рема, а также канцелярские помещения бельгийского диппредставительства. В одной из квартир проживал судья-юрист Салминьш со своей супругой, писательницей Аидой Ниедре. В доме также проживал известный латвийский архитектор межвоенного и советского периодов Сергей Николаевич Антонов со своей супругой, актрисой Ольгой Антоновой. Одной из квартир по этому адресу суждено было стать последним пристанищем для рижского публициста, адвоката и краеведа Сергея Марковича Нюренберга, отца двух талантливых дочерей — Елены Сергеевны Нюренберг и Ольги Сергеевны Бокшанской, тестя Михаила Афанасьевича Булгакова.

 д. 3 — год постройки и автор неизвестны. В доме проживал рижский архитектор Пауль Мандельштам, приехавший в Лифляндию из небольшого населённого пункта Жагаре на территории современной Литвы. В настоящее время в здании располагается жилая резиденция посла РФ в Латвии.

 Создателем д. 4 также был архитектор Михаил Эйзенштейн. Строил он его для своего хорошего друга — сказочно богатого заместителя председателя губернского суда Андрея Лебединского, который выкупил несколько садово-огородных участков на этой улице после 1901 года — до этого территория принадлежала главному садоводу города Тимму. Дом был готов в 1904 году. Реставрация состоялась уже в новейший период и была завершена в 2008 году.

Здание отличает богатая архитектурная характеристика: в первую очередь обращают на себя внимания два колоритных стукковых льва, повёрнутых хвостами друг к другу — символы неразрешимого противоречия и непрекращающейся борьбы, в которой не суждено достичь консенсуса. Эти скульптурные фигуры могут быть интерпретированы как обозначения непреходящей битвы между двумя как бы взаимоисключающими составляющими жизни Эйзенштейна-старшего — между хаотичной неупорядоченной повседневностью и внутренней духовной жизнью архитектора. Фасад выполнен в светлой цветовой гамме, белый цвет символизирует упорядоченность, гармонию, идеальное устройство.

Планировка центрального фасада здания отличается безукоризненной симметрией в композиции. Важным декоративным элементом, украшающим верхний этаж над «змеевидным» балконом, является компактно расположенный в стратегическом центре маскеронный горельеф с изображением трёх медуз (отсылка к известному героическому сюжету из античной мифологии).

Также на фасаде можно наблюдать три разных типа окна, применённые архитектором Эйзенштейном при планировке здания: на первом этаже проектировщик использовал «промышленное» окно в виде фабричной формы, что позволило указать на стремление модерна к восприятию последних достижений в области технического прогресса (а также акцентировать значимый мотив вечного строительства и развития). На втором этаже можно наблюдать характерное для ар нуво окно, которое в научной сфере обозначается «одна треть», поскольку одновременно освещает три комнатных пространства, а в эстетико-журналистской концепции получило стойкое обозначение «почковидное окно», поскольку по форме напоминает этот внутренний орган. Его основная функция — демонстрация устремлённости к освещению, следование основным принципам солярного культа. Наконец, третий вариант оконного проёма (достаточно часто воспроизводимый в модерне) — окно в форме замочной скважины, в прагматическом плане олицетворяет стремление домовладельца к сохранению неприкосновенности частной жизни. Надвратное изображение — женский крылатый маскерон — древний восточный мотив, направленный на олицетворение вечного цикличного возрождения, непознанной, непостижимой мудрости и просвещённости, тайного человеческого и божественного знания (этот мотив можно часто встретить на фасадах зданий рижского и европейского модерна).

В здании проживал первый президент Латвийской Академии наук (с 1946 по 1951 год), академик-агроном, один из лучших специалистов Латвийской ССР в области животноводства Паулис Янович Леиньш (об этом свидетельствует мемориальная доска с правой стороны фасада). С противоположной стороны находится другая памятная доска, посвященная самому зодчему.

В одной из квартир проживал известный певец Латвийского оперного театра Виктор Стотт со своей женой. В другой квартире долгое время до своей смерти проживал известный лифляндский врач, филантроп, разработчик нескольких новых методов курортного лечения Михаил Михайлович Максимович. Способный ученик Жана Мартена Шарко, основатель всероссийски известной лечебницы на территории за современным юрмальским концертным залом «Дзинтари», Максимович сохранил хорошие отношения с представителями эпатажной богемы Серебряного века, самым видным из которых был Валерий Яковлевич Брюсов, отдыхавший у Максимовича в зимний сезон 1913 года, чему и посвятил короткое стихотворение. Благодаря Максимовичу у многих раненых солдат Первой мировой войны появился шанс на бесплатное квалифицированное лечение. Такой же шанс появился и у многих беднейших жителей рижского Московского форштадта, для которых Максимович открыл благотворительную лечебницу.

 Старейший дом на улице Альберта — д. 5. Его построил прибалтийско-немецкий архитектор Фридрих Шеффель в 1900 году. В этот дом после Великой Отечественной войны переехала вдова общественного деятеля и журналиста С.М. Нюренберга Александра Александровна, здесь у неё бывала её младшая дочь Елена Сергеевна Булгакова.
 д. 6 — доходный дом действительного статского советника Андрея Павловича Лебединского. Этот участок был им выгодно приобретён в числе трёх остальных за 70 рублей. Сразу же после удачно оформленной покупки Михаил Осипович Эйзенштейн приступил к строительству здания. В 1904 году дом был готов и пригоден для жилья. Здание в архитектурно-декоративном плане выигрывает за счёт искусно смоделированного ощущения контраста от причудливого сочетания красного кирпича и зелёного облицовочного материала. Под балконами, выполненными в соответствии с прагматико-эстетической концепцией модерна (в основу концепции положена кривизна линий), спрятаны лица поющих женщин-медуз.

Над входом — изящный горельеф с изображением инфернального мужского маскерона с шаловливо-лукавым выражением лица, колеблющегося в выборе между двумя женщинами (женские маскероны окружают его слева и справа). По одной из версий, этим провокационным рельефом Эйзенштейн спародировал образ жизни своего почтенного архитектурного оппонента, исследователя рижской старины доктора Вильгельма Неймана, автора ряда построек в Риге, из которых наиболее известной является Художественный музей. Возможна также интерпретация голов как трёх возрастных этапов в жизни человека.

В межвоенный период (1920-е — 1930-е годы) в здании располагался зал собрания еврейской студенческой корпорации «Хасмонеи».

Некоторое время в одной из квартир по данному адресу проживал латвийский оперный певец Адольф Кактиньш, который в юности вынужден был подрабатывать помощником каменщика из-за нехватки средств и необходимости прокормить семью. Именно он своим громовым голосом будоражил окрестности (ария Риголетто) после окончания строительства «неуклюжего эклектиозавра» (как дотошные журналисты тут же окрестили Художественный музей на Николаевской), в котором сам принимал деятельное участие.

 д. 7. Необарочное строение, архитектор Герман Отто Хилбиг (1860—1939 год), экспериментатор в области эклектичного направления в городском зодчестве, автор церкви Павла в конце улицы Авоту (Родниковой).
 д. 8. Считается первым зданием инженера-архитектора Эйзенштейна на этой улице. Строительство практически было закончено в 1903 году, тем не менее дом начал функционировать как доходный лишь с 1908 года. Совсем недавно, в начале 2010 года, была завершена реставрация здания. Здание отличает нарядный, богато и симметрично декорированный эркер, пилястры увенчаны женскими маскеронами, аллюзивно отсылающими к мотивам египетской мифологии; неоднократно приходилась слышать разговорное название для этого дома — «саркофаг».

Фасад организует роскошный растительный (древесный) мотив, акцентирующий продуцирующую тему вечного расцвета и совершенства, устремлённости к солнцу, богатству, а также красоте физической и духовной. На украшениях балконов можно встретить редкий мотив новой жизни. Два нижних симметрично расположенных по отношению друг к другу балкона украшены комарами, расправившими крылья и взлетающими, однако же погибающими, поскольку голубой цвет губительно действует на комаров. Тем не менее, на верхнем балконе можно обнаружить украшение в виде куколки, из которой уже скоро должен будет появиться новый комар. Так изящно раскрывается мотив преодоления смерти жизнью на фасаде этого дома.

Цветовая сторона фасада построена на гармонии белого и голубого цветов, которые аллюзивно отсылают нас к небу. На самом верху, где архитектор достигает правильной прямоугольной ритмичности, можно видеть львиные маскероны, амбивалентные символы огня, силы, затаённой энергии, выходящей наружу. Таким образом, фасад является одним из наиболее привлекательных с точки зрения декоративного наполнения и выигрывает за счёт органичного смешения элементов растительного и животного орнаментов.

В одной из квартир этого дома жил Рихард Берзиньш, первый директор главного латвийского информационного агентства «LETA».

 д. 9. Строил архитектор Константин Пекшен, строительные работы окончены в 1901 году. В здании располагался еврейский детский сад Аллы Левис, работавший до начала 1930-х годов.
 д. 10. Дом был построен по проекту архитектора Пауля Мандельштама в 1903 году. В здании в 30-х годах находился факультет сравнительной анатомии при ЛУ; ныне там расположен факультет географии и геодезии. Здание принципиально отличается по стилевой характеристике от домов Эйзенштейна, располагающихся по соседству. Фасад, выполненный с использованием архитектонических элементов европейского неоклассицизма, украшен колоннами с изображением медицинского жезла Эскулапа, что как бы указывает на функциональную нагрузку здания (сравни с рекламой Золотого века на фасаде Коммерческого банка на Домской площади). Этот примечательный элемент также участвует в характеристике авторского стиля.

Здание немного пострадало в результате авиаобстрела отступающими частями нацистской армии в ходе освобождения латвийской столицы в октябре 1944 года, позже было восстановлено.

 д. 11. Стилевая отнесённость строения — финский национальный романтизм (или северный модерн), автор — архитектор Эйжен Лаубе, ученик Пекшена. Год постройки — 1908. Представляет собой колоритный образец позднего стилевого ответвления рационального модерна.

В начале 1920-х годов здание по решению городского совета выделили для нужд торгового представительства Советской России. Туда пригласили Маяковского во время одного из его визитов в Ригу. Он прочитал увлекательную лекцию по новейшим достижениям в области поэтического творчества и представил поэму «Люблю», на которую, по словам поэта-соловья революции, «цензура отреагировала вяло, едва-едва через три дня арестовала». Посещение Маяковским латвийской столицы в бытность независимого государства нашло своё отражение в программном тексте эпатажного поэта «Как работает республика демократическая. Стихотворение опытное, восторженно-критическое», в котором автор представил свой субъективный взгляд на образ жизни в независимой Латвии, сдобренный качественной и игривой иронией, свойственной для Маяковского 1920—1925 годов.

Нижний этаж фасада выполнен в естественном камне, ризалиты увенчаны шлемами викингов, надвратное изображение представлено рунической эмблемой, что органично отсылает к северной концепции.

 д. 12 — яркий образец национально обусловленной реакции на скандинавский северный модерн. Дом построен с использованием структурных и декоративных элементов латышского национального романтизма. Строили его два мастера: Пекшен и Лаубе, учитель и ученик. Год постройки — 1903. С апреля 2009 года на первом этаже здания (вход со стороны бокового фасада, выходящего на улицу Стрелниеку) находится Рижский музей югендстиля.

Здание характеризует элегантный приём структурной организации — имитированный фахверк над верхними этажами, применённый здесь в качестве чисто декоративного элемента. Угловой ризалит богато декорирован растительным орнаментом (сосновые ветви) с изображениями белок и клестов, как бы инкрустированных в сосновый декор. Симпатичная угловая башенка также отсылает здание к концепции национального романтизма.

С 1904 по 1911 год в доме на четвёртом этаже проживал основоположник латышской жанровой живописи Янис Розенталь со своей женой, финской оперной певицей Элли Форсель. С ними проживал Рудольф Блауманис, одни из корифеев латышской драматургии. С 1977 года в здании находится музей-квартира, посвящённая этим людям.

 д. 13. Дом Эйзенштейна, пропитанный неподдельным трагизмом личностного мироощущения автора. Построен в самый разгар русско-японской войны в 1904 году, сразу после известия о разгроме русского флота.

Фасады отличают кричащие женские маскероны, стоячие скульптурные изображения женщин с открытыми ртами с выражением беспокойства и тревоги. Умиротворяющим контрастом на их фоне кажется маскерон бога солнца Аполлона, помещённый в композиционный центр здания. Птица Феникс, опустившая перья хвоста, изображения дев со скрещёнными под бюстом косами, козлиные черепа, геометрическая символика — всё указывает на танатологические и даже эсхатологические ощущения автора проекта. Во многом здание соотносится со стилевым приёмом, принятом в раннем рижском модерне — horror vacui, который после 1905 года быстро вышел из моды.

В начале 1920-х годов в здании разместился департамент политической полиции Латвии, в подвалах которого происходило дознание членов запрещённой в независимой Латвии Коммунистической партии. Известно, что в 1933 году из окна департамента выпадает молодой коммунист Фрицис Гайлис, в честь которого улица в советский период получает новое название.

В настоящее время в здании расположены два посольства — Бельгии и Ирландии, а также многочисленные офисные учреждения.

The people of Picher, Okla., are leaving.
In early 2006, a federal study determined that areas of Picher and the surrounding communities of Cardin and Hockerville in Oklahoma were at risk of caving in. The area is honeycombed with abandoned underground lead and zinc mines.
That study led U.S. Sen. Jim Inhofe, R-Okla., to push for a buyout of the Picher area. The federal Environmental Protection Agency already had spent millions trying to clean up the polluted chat piles and other waste left from more than 100 years of mining in what is now the Tar Creek Superfund site.
In 2005, Oklahoma had set up a buyout for families in Picher with children age 6 and younger who were determined to be especially at risk of lead poisoning. Lead and other waste metals were carried in the wind off the chat piles, saturating the surrounding soil, including residential yards.
Buying out the people of Picher, population 1,640 at the time of the 2000 census, is estimated to cost up to $50 million. It is unclear how long the buyout will go on because so far only $20 million has been appropriated.
The buyout is optional and not everybody wants to move, including Picher resident Jon Finn.
"I'm going nowhere. I'm staying here till I die," Finn said.
Finn, who makes model wooden mine derricks for a living, said his father and brother used to work in the mines. Both died of tuberculosis.

Salem man arrested in connection with Keizer shooting
Lauren Hernandez
The Salem man believed to have shot a man in Keizer in late April has been arrested in Kennewick, Washington.
Ryan Joel Carrera, 31, was identified as a person of interest related to the shooting of a man on the 3600 block of Brooks Avenue NE in Keizer just before noon on Sunday, April 22. The victim survived.
Carrera was arrested without incident by Kennewick police officers and K9 units Wednesday morning around 8 a.m., according to a Keizer Police Department statement.
At the time of his arrest, Carrera allegedly had a stolen handgun in his possession.
CRIME:Salem man sentenced to 25 years in prison for child sex abuse
A Marion County probable cause statement details the moments leading up to the shooting on April 22:
A man told Keizer detectives he believed Carrera stole his rented Silver 2017 Nissan Altima several days prior to the shooting.
The man learned his rental car was seen in Keizer, so he drove through the area and found the Nissan parked on the 3600 block of Brooks Avenue NE in Keizer.
He told detectives he asked Carrera for the keys to the rental car, but that Carrera could take anything left inside the car.
BAR FLY'S SHOOTING:Man arrested in California following Salem shooting in Bar Fly's parking lot
"What makes you think you are getting the car back?" Carrera allegedly asked the man, according to the probable cause statement.
Carrera allegedly raised up his shirt to show a 9mm black handgun in a holster stuffed in his waistband. He then allegedly asked for $100 and ten ounces of "dope."
The car renter was soon joined by a friend, the shooting victim, in the confrontation.
Another unknown man also arrived and started physically struggling with Carrera in an attempt to remove get the gun away from him.
During the struggle, Carrera was able to unholster the gun and shoot the male victim in his right buttocks.
The victim tried getting away from Carrera, but told police Carrera started to verbally taunt him, pressing the gun against his neck, head and stomach. Carrera did not fire any additional shots.

Carrera then got into the rental car and drove away, according to witnesses.
The victim told investigators he slid into the backseat of a black Nissan Sentra and told an unknown female driver not to take him to the hospital.
Instead, she drove him to the Rodeway Inn located at 3340 Astoria Way NE in Salem.
Officials responded after a someone called 911 to report that a friend had been shot and was being taken to Salem Hospital by a private vehicle.
Responding officers later learned the victim instead was driven to the Rodeway Inn, where he was abandoned.
It is unclear who called 911 about the shooting.
Salem police officers found the victim at the Rodeway Inn and paramedics transported him to Salem Hospital with a non-life-threatening gunshot wound.
A warrant had been issued for Carrera's arrest for first-degree assault with a firearm.
He also had an unrelated statewide warrant for his arrest related to the possession of methamphetamine charges, according to Linn County court records.
He is in Benton County Jail in Washington on one count of possessing a stolen handgun and for being a fugitive.
The Marion County District Attorney's Office is coordinating Carrera's extradition with the Benton County prosecuting attorney.
Anyone with information about the shooting should contact Detective Andrew Phelps at 503-390-3713 Ext. 3497. Callers should reference Keizer Police Department Incident #18-1567.

Jennifer Lopez looks just as good in that iconic Versace dress 20 years later, and she knows it.
In an interview for Vanity Fair's annual Hollywood issue, the "Hustlers" star reflected on rewearing the jungle-print Versace dress during the brand's spring 2020 Milan fashion show, 20 years after she wore the original version to the 2000 Grammys.
"Twenty years had gone by, and I think for women, knowing you can put on a dress 20 years later – it resonated," she said. "It was like, 'Yes, you know, life is not over at 20!'"

All the News Fit to Print: N.Y. Times Seen as Anti-Israel
Media watchdog Honest Reporting has determined that The New York Times is biased against Israel. Its photos draw sympathy for Arabs.
Tzvi Ben Gedalyahu
Jul 18, 2008, 7:46 AM (GMT+3)
Media watchdog HonestReporting.com has determined that The New York Times is biased against Israel. The organization discovered that most headlines concerning attacks are written in the active style when concerning Israel, but in the passive when concerning Arab terrorists, who usually are called "militants."
It cited several headlines, such as "Israeli Force Kills 9 in Gaza" in contrast with "Rocket Fired from Gaza Kills Woman in Southern Israel." In 22 articles that dealt with Israeli counterterrorist operations, the headline writers used the words "Israel kills" and "Israel shoots." However, a large majority of headlines describing Arab attacks omitted the names of the terrorist attackers and focused on the weapon, as in "Rockets Hit Israel Whose Strikes Kill 5" and "Suicide Attack in Israel Kills One."
A study of pictures in the Times stated, "Seventy-five percent of the photographs that could be objectively determined as drawing sympathy for one side or the other in the conflict favored the Palestinians. Palestinian casualties of Israeli military operations and pictures of civilians dealing with shortages in Gaza dominated Times coverage" during the time period studied.
One picture of a funeral for an Arab teacher shows relatives crying over the death, leaving the reader ignorant of a rocket attack near an Israeli playground and pre-school nursery that precipitated the counterterrorist operation that killed the teacher. The picture also did not show that the supposed school where the teacher worked was a series of huts used by terrorists to launch rocket attacks against Israel.
Another pictures showed Arabs fleeing with infants from an Israeli attack. although the accompanying article described the death of a three-year-old whose father was "a fighter" for the Islamic Jihad terrorist organization. He and his brother had fired on the IDF from alongside and inside the house that was hit by an IDF shell.

English language PTV World costing govt Rs105 million a year
Auditors find that the channel incurred a loss of over Rs350 million from 2013 to June 2015
Arsalan Altaf September 16, 2017
The state broadcaster had incurred more than Rs350 million in losses to continue operating its English-language TV channel, an audit states. PHOTO: FILE
ISLAMABAD: PTV World, the state-run English language TV channel, has been unable to break even since its launch in 2013 and has incurred a loss of more than Rs350 million as of June 2015, auditors have found.
Most of PTV World's operational costs are being met through an annual grant of Rs105 million by the government since the channel is not generating revenue through its advertisements.
"Due to limited viewership in Pakistan, the revenue generation of PTV World at present is zero," says the latest audit report by the auditor general of Pakistan. The report adds that without the recurring annual grant, the channel cannot continue its broadcast.
Ministry mulls PTV channel for kids infotainment
During the audit of PTV's account for fiscal year 2015-16, the auditors found that the Ministry of Information, Broadcasting and National Heritage released an amount of Rs105 million for PTV World's operational expenses every year.
They further pointed out that the state broadcaster had incurred more than Rs350 million in losses to continue operating its English-language TV channel in the almost three years after PTV World's launch.
"Since launch of PTV World, PTV incurred Rs356.117 million up till June 30, 2015, on its operation in spite of the fact that the President of Pakistan assured in his inaugural speech for financial grant to PTVC [Pakistan Television Corporation] to meet out the expenses incurred and required on account of its running/operation," the audit report stated.
The audit has objected to the release of funds by the ministry to PTV World and the ministry's involvement in the channel's launch. "The audit is of the view that the launching of a channel was not covered in the business assigned to the ministry, nor the approval of the competent authority obtained, therefore the expenditure is held irregular and unauthorised," it said.
Protesters demand apology from PTV for 'humiliating' Pashtuns during Eid transmission
In its response to the audit's objections, the PTV management argued that PTV World was launched on the 'verbal directives' of the President of Pakistan to counter the country's misrepresentation by the foreign media and project its soft image in the international community – an objective the PTV management said was being effectively achieved.
However, it was observed in the audit that PTV's reply was not supported with the documented directives of the president to set up the channel and meet its operational expenses through government grant.
It recommended an inquiry to fix responsibility for irregular release of funds.
"The audit recommends that responsibility may be fixed for launching [the channel] and releasing the funds to PTV without the approval of the competent forum," it concluded.

Q: KnockoutJS observableArray with template and foreach I'm trying to bind a Knockout observableArray to my UI using a foreach and checkboxes and then create an array based on what is checked.
I'm getting this error:
Uncaught ReferenceError: Unable to process binding "template: function () . . . ."
Here is my HTML:

Here is my Knockout ViewModel:
function ViewModel() {

this.Quarter = ko.observableArray([
    { quarter: "Q1" },
    { quarter: "Q2" },
    { quarter: "Q3" },
    { quarter: "Q4" }
]);

this.SelectedQuarters = ko.observableArray();

this.SelectedQuarters.subscribe(function () {
    console.log(this.SelectedQuarters());
});

}

$(document).ready(function () {

    ko.applyBindings(new ViewModel());

});

I also have a fiddle set up:
http://jsfiddle.net/SpRLP/1/
Ultimately what I want to see in the console is something like this:
Q1
Q1,Q3
Q1,Q3,Q2
Q1,Q3,Q2,Q4
Q1,Q2,Q4

A: templateOptions is only available when using the jQuery Templates plugin. When using KO native templating, it is most common to use $root or $parent to bind in this way. Here is some documentation on these context variables.
So, it would look like:

Here is an updated fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/rniemeyer/tY5TF/

A: Thanks. This helped me get my ObservableArray checkboxes working. I adapted my code to your example, and have more information in the JS 'class' that you can show.

function Quarter(id, name) {
    return {
        id : ko.observable(id),

5 examples of sexual orientation discrimination
On behalf of Gilbert Employment Law, P.C. posted in Discrimination & Harassment on Thursday, January 4, 2018.
Sexual orientation is a protected class, just like race or gender, meaning employers cannot discriminate against workers due to heterosexuality, homosexual or bisexuality.
How do you know if discrimination is present in the workplace? Here are five examples so that you know what to watch out for:
Giving workers of a certain sexual orientation lowering rankings and worse reviews than other workers, for no reason other than their orientation.
Handing out promotions to workers of one sexual orientation over workers of another.
Showing any other type of preferential treatment, such as giving more desirable jobs or positions to those of a specific orientation.
Discriminating in any way based on an assumed orientation, whether that is true or not. For instance, it is illegal to pass over someone for a promotion on the grounds that he or she is thought to be of a homosexual orientation, even if the reality is that the worker is of a heterosexual orientation.
Insulting someone, making disparaging remarks, threatening them or doing any other type of bullying based on orientation. Any action that can create a hostile work environment is prohibited.
It is worth noting that not all workers will agree on what creates a hostile work environment. For example, one worker could feel that he or she is being bullied while others say they're just joking around. This could still make a hostile workplace, even if the workers carrying out the discrimination did not have that intent.
It is very important for people to know all of their rights in the workplace and what legal options they have when those rights are breached.

Crisis In Israel As ISIS Takes Control Of Golan Heights On Syrian Side!!
( Psalm 122:6 KJV ) "Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee."!!
The Times of Israel reported today that almost the entire Syrian side of the Golan Heights, Israel is now under the control of rebel forces, including radical Islamist groups, a senior Israeli military commander in the area said Friday.
Will ISIS CROSS The Border into Israel!?
Only the Quneitra border area is still in the hands of forces loyal to President Bashar Assad, Lt.-Col. Anan Abbas, deputy commander of the Golan Brigade, told Israel's Channel 10. About 95 percent of the Syrian side of the Golan is in the hands of anti-Assad rebels, including radical Islamic groups such as the Al-Nusra Front, affiliated with al-Qaeda, a rival of the burgeoning Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, better known as ISIL or ISIS.
( Genesis 12:2-3 KJV ) "And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing: And I will Bless them that Bless thee ( Israel-USA ), and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all Families of the Earth be Blessed."!!

Winter truly is a magical time of year.
Snow falling from a quiet sky, holiday cheer and basketball season tipping off.
The Clear Creek basketball teams are scheduled to host a season opener Dec. 1 at home against Platte Canyon.
The Clear Creek boys were looking forward to a full 2021-22 season, as they played a condensed season last year. Seniors Zach Pitts and Jett Baker said the 2020-21 season could've gone a lot better, but ultimately became a time of growth.
This winter, the Golddiggers will have 18 players across the varsity and JV teams. The two seniors felt that Clear Creek has "a strong-looking team," as Pitts described, with lots of promising young players.
Coach Scott Haebe likewise believed that, while the Golddiggers' handful of freshmen players won't get a lot of varsity playing time, the group "bodes well for the future."
During the team's Nov. 23 practice, Baker and Pitts described how the Golddiggers' greatest strength was their chemistry. Most of the six seniors have been playing together since they were freshmen, and they're all ready to lead the team, Baker described.
"The chemistry is definitely there," he said.
Pitts added that the team has been making good passes and communicating well in practice, and hoped that would translate to the games.
"There's a lot of trust (among the players)," Pitts continued.
There's still plenty for the team to work on, though, with the seniors describing how the Golddiggers need to work on their in-game knowledge and defensive awareness.
Because Clear Creek graduated five seniors last year and three players are out with injuries until early January, Haebe said, "We will be trying to find ourselves before Christmas. ... We'll be counting on the seniors to bring the young guys along."
League play looks competitive this year, Haebe said, adding that Clear Creek will have to mentally show up for each game. Along with Platte Canyon, he and the seniors were most looking forward to the Gilpin and Denver Christian games.
Baker and Pitts noted that Clear Creek hasn't beat Denver Christian in the past three years, although last year's game was fairly close. For the Feb. 1 game at Denver Christian, the two hoped to stick with the Thunder and finally beat them.
For Clear Creek home games, spectators will be limited, Haebe clarified. Players are allowed a certain number of guests and some students will be admitted as well. So, the Golddiggers will have a few fans in the stands this season.
Baker encouraged those who can't attend the games to watch online. Golddigger fans can sign up to stream all the games for $11/month at NFHS.org, he said.

MOVIE REVIEW: Avengers: Age of Ultron
Laala Kashef Alghata Tue, 05 May 2015 Tue, 05 May 2015
The different films that make up the Marvel Cinematic Universe – which include Iron Man, Captain America and Thor – have recently raised the bar for action films.
Consistently topping the box office and popular with fans and critics alike, the motley crew of superheroes that we were presented with in the first Avengers film gained wide appreciation.
Subsequent sequels for each of the heroes have been well-received, but it seems we've reached the inevitable point where ingenuity is swapped out for a formulaic script that the studio knows will yield box office stats.
Avengers: Age of Ultron starts with an action scene in an Eastern European country with the gang raiding a Hydra outpost, where humans have been experimented on using the sceptre previously wielded by Loki.
Two of these experiments are the Maximoff twins Pietro (Aaron Taylor-Johnson) and Wanda (Elizabeth Olsen).
While both Taylor-Johnson and Olsen do a good job in the film, the introduction of their characters is part of what's wrong with this movie – the ensemble cast that was large to begin with becomes unwieldy.
There's practically no character development in the film, which is an enormous shame, since the subtleties in these films often hold the best moments.
It is also riddled with one-liners beginning to end, which eventually makes the viewer want to roll their eyes instead of laugh – not exactly something a multi-million dollar franchise should aim for.
In the previous film, the beauty of the jokes and comic relief were their perfect timing.
In Age of Ultron, the jokes feel like they're inserted without a thought for the film's structure as a whole.
There are certainly jokes that work incredibly well and will draw huge laughs, but they would be made all the stronger if the weaker ones had been cut.
The most stunning thing about the film is the visuals – the special effects team have outdone themselves.
There are several action scenes where a slow-motion shot is inserted with the effect of a comic book strip, which is a great ode to the origins of the franchise. In the end, though, the most disappointing thing about the film is it is forgettable.
Having slept on it, I find I'm hard pressed to think of specifics that enthralled, other than the gorgeous graphics and a couple of strong lines that make you laugh.
Avengers: Age of Ultron is now screening at City Centre Bahrain, Seef, Saar, Al Jazira and Dana cinemas and has a running time of 141 minutes.

To ensure that all students realize their unique potential through a system characterized by caring, dedicated teachers who have an uncompromising commitment to excellence.
Strong partnerships among home, community, and school support learning.
Caring, dedicated teachers and supportive parents enhance student achievement.
Genuine respect for all is a necessary element of excellence.
The essentials for success can best be taught by word and by deed.
Learning requires discipline and nurturing.
An unwavering commitment to continuous improvement is the path to excellence.
One of the senior activities on September 27 will be the annual Work Ready Assessment to measure students' core skills and work habits. Results of this test indicate students' level of work readiness, allowing them to receive a Work Ready Certificate to help them better market their skills to current and future employers.
The higher students score on the test, the more "ready" they appear to employers. Bronze certification means that the student possesses the necessary skills for 35% of jobs in the Work Ready database, earning silver certification means possessing skills for 65% of the jobs, earning gold means possessing skills for 90% of the jobs, and platinum means possessing skills necessary for 99% of the jobs in the database.
Students often regret not trying harder on this important test, and ask if they can retake it. Unfortunately, the state does not recognize the second attempt at the test, so students need to do their best the first time.


No matter what your profession, professional liability insurance is a good investment. Just like car or home insurance, it might be something you never use. But it can save your business from financial ruin if that one person tries to sue you. But sometimes it is difficult to keep paying premiums for something you rarely use. So, while you are being wise and ensuring that you have professional liability insurance, be wise and use these three tips to save on your premiums as well.
Just as you probably have a high deductible on your car and home insurance, set a high deductible on your professional liability insurance. Work with your agent to find that point of best return for you. That point where the amount of deductible meets the amount of savings you get from premiums. If doubling the deductible only saves you $5 a year, it probably isn't worth it. But, if doubling the deductible saves you $100 a year, it might be worth it. As a great independent insurance agent we can help you determine that amount.
Always use industry best practices. Implement them around the office, train your staff and write a blog where you discuss the best practices you use. These best practices are based on research and are great talking points with customers.
Document everything. Use archived email, keep notes from customers etc. If you have a gut feeling that a customer might be a bit difficult, document everything in writing. Whether you are in a job where you detail cars or work in a medical office, documentation is important and can help you save on professional liability insurance. How? If you have documentation, the odds of a suit ever going to court are far less. That, in turn, will keep your premiums lower.
Your agent can help you determine the right coverage for your needs. Learn how to save today. Call us at 713-227-7283 for more information on Houston business insurance.

Community & Support Sponsors
LinuxFest Northwest (LFNW) brings together an open technology community. While that informal community cooperates year round through various media and projects, LFNW itself is an organized opportunity to interact directly, personally, intensively, and freely. All types of people attend the Fest to learn, teach, share and contribute to each other. The LinuxFest Northwest organizers and volunteers are committed to having a low stress, fun environment that supports the best that open source technology can offer. Fundamentally, the Fest works best when people behave well with each other. With the number of people who attend the Fest, there may be occasions when things don't go smoothly. To assist with resolving issues that may arise during the Fest, the LFNW organizers have developed some guiding principles. These are based on the best elements of the Fest culture, along with those from other successful open source projects.
Be courteous, respectful and considerate — a difference of opinion is not a valid reason for personal insults or impolite behavior. Cooperation works best when people feel personally safe and comfortable. Everyone is welcome at LinuxFest Northwest, regardless of gender, sexual orientation, race, religion, disabilities, physical appearance, or any other differences. Harassment for any reason is not acceptable. The Fest is a family event, including children. So sexual references and profanity are not appropriate. People's actions should bring credit to themselves, LinuxFest Northwest and the larger open source community. Service animals should not be petted, distracted, or interacted with in any way; they function as a tool for the accommodation of an individual's disability, and as such should be allowed to perform their work without interference.
Be patient and generous — support others and ask for support. If someone asks for help, it is usually because they think they need it. In some cases, it can be helpful to suggest ways for the requester to help themselves. For example, learning how to ask good questions can sometimes be a big help. Intentionally vague or hostile responses (such as "Read The Manual") are counterproductive.
Assume that people mean well — start with an assumption of good intentions. Often the best answer is somewhere between competing positions. Polite disagreement can go a long way towards resolving an issue. Clarifying possible misinterpretations builds mutual respect. Take responsibility for your actions.
Reach out for help — In some cases, talking directly with others involved can resolve a situation. If that isn't possible or comfortable, our organizers are available to help. LFNW volunteers can be found wearing red volunteer shirts and can assist you with locating an organizer.
Privacy is important — LinuxFest Northwest has always taken pride in respecting the privacy of attendees. Registration is optional to attend the Fest itself, and we do not sell or give your information away, not even to our sponsors, without your explicit permission. We also expect attendees will keep with this commitment to privacy. Ask before taking photos of people. Do not publicly post information about other attendees (names, employer, etc) without their permission. If you witness or have reason to believe the code of conduct is being violated, please bring up the topic with staff.
The organizers of LinuxFest Northwest are honored to have the opportunity of being hosts. We encourage all attendees to share in making the Fest valuable and memorable for everyone. Thank you for your thoughtfulness.

And we talk about our most favorite technology, Postgres! Nothing is too simple or too complicated. Come meet the people, from the newbie to the expert all told have a good time talking shop over a pizza.

Software Freedom Conservancy
Software Freedom Conservancy, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization. Software Freedom Conservancy helps promote, improve, develop, and defend Free, and Open Source Software (FOSS) projects. Conservancy provides a non-profit home and infrastructure for FOSS projects. This allows FLOSS developers to focus on what they do best — writing and improving FLOSS for the general public — while Conservancy takes care of the projects' needs that do not relate directly to software development and documentation. Conservancy is involved in some of the most essential work to advance software freedom: in addition to helping projects write their essential software, Conservancy also defends and advocates for copyleft licensing, and educates the public about the moral and ethical issues about software freedom.
