Q: function imported from react context does not exist on type I'm currently attempting to do a fairly low-level Typescript migration for my React app. The app itself uses context, in which it defines various functions and exports them to be used elsewhere when needed.
Here's my 'DataContext' file:
export const DataContext = React.createContext({})

export const DataProvider = ({ children }: PropsWithChildren) => {

    const fetchAll = async (userId: string) => {

        // Function here

    }

    return (
        <DataContext.Provider value={{ fetchAll }}>
            { children }
        </DataContext.Provider>
    )

}

However, when I try to import this file into another Typescript file, I get the following error:

Property 'fetchAll' does not exist on type '{}'

I'm assuming this is because on my 'createContext' I'm using an empty object. But is there another way for me to do it, and is this creating my error?
Here's my file importing the 'fetchAll' function in this case:
import React, { useEffect, useContext } from 'react'

import { DataContext } from '../../context/DataContext'

type Props = {
    text: string,
    subcontent: string,
    id: string
}

export const Pending = ({ text, subcontent, id }: Props) => {

    const { fetchAll } = useContext(DataContext)

    // I use fetchAll in a useEffect, but removed it for simplicity

    return (
        // Component here...
    )
}

Any advice / pointers would be appreciated!

A: You will have to set the type of your context in order to be able to retrieve fetchAll
export const DataContext = React.createContext<{
   fetchAll: (userId: string) => Promise<WhateverIsTheReturnType>
}>(null)

Then I would set up an hook to retrieve the context value like this
const useDataContext = () => {
  const value = useContext(DataContext)
  if (value === null) {
    throw new Error(
      '`DataContext` should always have `DataProvider` as a parent component',
    )
  }

  return value
}

So then you can just use it like this const {fetchAll} = useDataContext()

The group's debut LP from the spring of 2017, released on Breakfast-4-Dinner records, has received praise for its distinctive compositions and dynamic group interplay. As stated by Geraldine Wycliffe from Offbeat Magazine, "these three musicians sound as if they were destined to play with each other. Their interactions, improvisations and the seamless way their compositions flow from cut to cut feel instinctive. Extended is: Brad Webb on drums, Matt Booth on bass, and Oscar Rossignoli on piano.

Q: How I can inject my custom service to ContainerRequestFilter We have using rest-easy 3.0.11 and want to inject our custom service to in our ContainerRequestFilter.
Here is what we have tried
@Provider
public class CustomFilter implements ContainerRequestFilter {

    @Inject
    private CustomService customService;

    @Override
    public void filter(ContainerRequestContext containerRequestContext) throws IOException {
        customService.do();
    }
}

In our code customService is always null, so what is wrong in our code?

I'm looking at building a new rig in preparation for the 777 and have chosen all of the components I require for the new build. However, I'm really struggling on which computer case to buy (if I even need to).
I currently have a fantastic Casecom 6788, but after doing some research, for what I'm going to purchase, a slightly bigger case wouldn't be a bad thing.
I don't really have any idea where to begin looking. I've done a bit of research, but nothing seems conclusive or completely out of my price range.
I'm looking at spending roughly £50 - £70 on a case.
Almost all contemporary mid-to-high-end cases have features that help with both (include multiple fans, removable side access covers, enough room behind the motherboard, etc).
So, it then comes down to aesthetics, noise and if a particular case can house all of your components with enough room for good air flow (positive, negative, push-pull, etc).
This is what I have, no complaints from me.
I was just looking at this exact one! I think I'll take your advice and go with it. Thanks a lot.
The Carbide series is nice, I've actually heard better things about the model just below the 300R, the 200R.
I love my CoolerMaster HAF 922.
Corsair 650D - can't go wrong with this one.
I have the Cooler Master HAF XB LAN test box and couldn't be happier. Its not a traditional tower case. It has great airflow characteristics, a removable motherboard tray, hot swap drive bays, and can accommodate a massive 200mm case fan.


I'm so happy to spend it with the man I love, at a place we love. He really makes it special. Later this week we're catching up with some good friends.
Until I can post more details, I'll share what Ive asked for as a birthday gift (I told the hubs to hold until I decide for sure).

Home / Legal News / State Supreme Court rules against firefighter (UPDATE)
State Supreme Court rules against firefighter (UPDATE)
By SCOTT BAUER
MADISON, Wis. (AP) – The Wisconsin Supreme Court on Tuesday ruled against a volunteer firefighter who argued he was immune from liability after driving through a red light and colliding with another vehicle when responding to an emergency call.
The unanimous ruling came in a case involving Parnell Burditt, a volunteer with the Okauchee Fire Department, about 30 miles west of Milwaukee.
The court ruled that Burditt was acting within the scope of his employment as a volunteer firefighter at the time of the 2008 accident. However, because he did not have a siren on his truck before proceeding through the red light, he is not entitled to immunity from lawsuits afforded other public safety officers in similar situations.
The Supreme Court overturned an appeals court ruling upholding a circuit court summary judgment that found Burditt was immune from liability. The Supreme Court sent the case back to Waukesha County Circuit Court.
Because the Supreme Court determined that Burditt was acting within the scope of his employment, under state law the most in damages that can be sought from his insurance company is $25,000 per plaintiff.
Burditt's attorney praised the decision, saying it was important for the court to rule Burditt was acting within the scope of his employment. Had it ruled that he wasn't, there would have been no caps on damages that could be sought, Burditt's attorney, Lance Grady, said.
"I think the Supreme Court got it right, this was the correct decision," Grady said.
Ben Brantmeier, attorney for the fire department, also said he was pleased the court determined Burditt was acting within the scope of his employment when he responded to the emergency call.
The fire department argued that because he was responding in the scope of his employment while operating his personal truck, Burditt's automobile insurance should be primary and the fire department's insurance should be secondary.
Because his personal insurance would cover up to the $25,000 limit per plaintiff, the fire department's insurance would not come into play, Brantmeier said.
The two people injured in the crash, Marilyn Brown and Delores Schwartz, have incurred more than $100,000 in medical bills as a result of the crash, their attorney Keith Stachowiak said. He called the ruling a "fair decision" and one that he hopes results in immunity for government workers involved in accidents being more of the exception rather than the rule.
This case will be used by volunteer firefighters across the state to educate them on the importance of stopping at red lights, even when responding to emergencies, Brantmeier said.
"The department did not want their volunteers to be able to blow a red light, for lack of a better word," he said. "The fire department respects the rules of the road, as all fire departments do."
Burditt himself said after the accident that proceeding through the intersection against the red light was a "poor decision," according to court documents.
Burditt only received a pager alert that there was an emergency. He did not know at the time what the emergency was. It turned out to be a flooded basement.

Groundhog Day 2019: Facts, history and the story of Punxsutawney Phil
Every Feb. 2, a little groundhog pokes his head out of the ground to see if he can spot his shadow. As the legend goes, if he sees his shadow, he gets scared and burrows back into the ground, which means there will be six more weeks of winter. If he doesn't see his shadow, it means spring is coming early.
So what's the story behind Groundhog Day? Why do we still celebrate it? Here's everything you need to know.
It all started in 1887.
Groundhog Day was celebrated for the first time at Gobbler's Knob in Punxsutawney, Penn. after a local newspaper editor who belonged to a group of groundhog hunters declared Punxsutawney Phil, a groundhog, the country's premier meteorologist.
The event at Gobbler's Knob draws tens of thousands of spectators every year.
About 6,000 people live in Punxsutawney, but that number rises every February when the yearly Groundhog Day festivities go down. A band plays and local leaders officiate the proceedings. You can watch a live stream of the 2019 event here.
The town officials who host the event are known as the "Inner Circle."
They wear top hats and apparently also speak to the groundhog in "Groundhogese."
The groundhogs don't actually predict the weather.
This may come as a shock to you, but winter doesn't technically end until March 20, so regardless of whether Phil sees his shadow, we get six more weeks of winter either way.
Phil is actually accurate 40 percent of the time.
Pretty good for an animal who didn't go to meteorology school. Scientists have studied Phil's accuracy and say he has about a 40 percent success rate.
Not the Groundhog Day you were looking for? Here are 10 things you may not have known about the classic Bill Murray movie.

Public meeting on rental housing demolition permit for southwest Scarborough development plan slated
Scarborough Community Council is hosting a public meeting for a development application at 1625, 1633, 1641 Kingston Rd. and 52 Birchcliff Ave. later this month.
The meeting will take place at 9:30 am on Friday, Jan. 27, at the Scarborough Civic Centre, 150 Borough Dr.
The application proposes to demolish 33 rental dwelling units—32 units at 1625, 1633 and 1641 Kingston Rd. in the Lenmore Court buildings, and one unit at 52 Birchcliff Ave.
They will be replaced with two new buildings which will have 312 new dwelling units, including replacement rental units for all 33 demolished rental units.
A Rental Housing Demolition and Conversion application has been submitted to permit the process. Under the City of Toronto Act, demolition of rental properties with six or more dwelling units is prohibited without obtaining a permit.
According to City of Toronto officials, the Ontario Land Tribunal ruled for an approved settlement for this development application at the end of October of 2022 after all parties to the appeal reached a settlement agreement with the applicant, Altree Developments.
This ruling is subject to conditions set out in the settlement agreements including a rental replacement plan that is approved by the City of Toronto, officials say.
Tenant relocation and assistance is also proposed to help ensure any impacted eligible tenants are not left without housing once demolition on the existing buildings begins.
Residents who wish to send written comments regarding this application can do so by emailing scc@toronto.caor. Written comments are being accepted up until the Toronto Council gives final consideration to the proposal.
Scarborough Community Council will review the proposal before forwarding its application recommendations to the full Toronto Council for further consideration.
Decisions by the Toronto Council on the rental housing demolition application are not subject to appeal to the Ontario Land Tribunal.
Anyone who wishes to address the Scarborough Community Council public meeting on this issue directly can register to do so by emailing scc@toronto.ca or by phoning 416-396-7287, no later than 12 p.m. on Jan. 26.

Germany apologizes for leopard jibe that upset some Africans
CAPE TOWN, South Africa (AP) — Germany apologized on Thursday for using a leopard emoji in a jibe at Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov on Twitter that ended up offending some Africans. The German foreign ministry poked fun at Russia's top diplomat during his tour of Africa when it tweeted that he wasn't there looking for leopards, but using the trip to try and justify Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

The below opinion piece was written by freelance writer and editor Mandy Collins.
So back to those expats,the ones who send out the same negative message about South Africa whenever they can – over, and over and over again. And who refuse to believe anything other than the bad news they hear from friends and relatives at home. (And as a small aside, just as bad news sells newspapers, people also have a tendency to spread bad news stories over good.) I'm willing to bet that the vast majority of those expats left because they believed the country was going to the dogs.

Another strong earthquake hits but we continue
During the latest larger earthquake in Nepal (measuring 7. 3 on the Richter scale) on Tuesday 12th of May we were on the second day of an animal rescue and assistance trip in the Nuwakot region, one of the worst affected areas from the original quakes. With our veterinarian Dr Umesh Mandal, the SPCA Nepal, Nepal Veterinary Association and senior veterinary students, we were in the town of Devi Ghat when the rumbling started. People scrambled to the streets and open areas, screams and cries going out from fear and concern for others. A few minutes after the molecules of earth and beings settled people began working out what was newly damaged and what was no longer safe.
Images of a downed mother cow who had spent most of the last two weeks after the earthquake unable to stand until giving birth only hours before we arrived. It took a lot of effort from everyone to get her on her feet but she still has a lot of recovering to do.
We had returned to the local government veterinary service, a fractured building victim to the first quakes. A woman whose goat was treated yesterday was there for follow up treatment and advice. A calf was still tethered to the holding pen. The students in particular were sending texts and calls, receiving them ("safe, safe"), and also checking internet to see how big this one was. The first report was 6.9 but rapidly rose to 7.1. Dr Umesh had already gone back to treating the animals and preparing for the afternoon trip to Nuwakot and the villages higher up the mountain. Reports from the local veterinarian technician said that the famous historic Durbar Square there had received further damage.
Damage to historic buildings in Nawakot's Durbar Square from today's strong earthquake.
We donated medical supplies to the local vet at Devi Ghat to continue work here and follow up treatment from yesterday (which included a myriad of injuries and illnesses, a cow who had barely stood in 2 weeks who gave birth and had collapsed again, a water buffalo that had been trapped in rubble for 18 hours, a young water buffalo with a badly broken leg which we finished treating by torchlight), then headed up the narrow winding road to Nuwakot.
We were given permission by the police to have a quick look at Durbar Square. Truly tragic to see these historic buildings in such disarray. One temple that had previously been unharmed now showed the scars of this latest quake. Dr Umesh said, "The Gods must truly be angry with us". I suggested maybe not him so much, as so far he and his family are safe and he is still totally dedicated to helping as many as he can in a very selfless way. I had joked with him yesterday whether his students were happy that veterinarians only have one meal a day. He laughed, agreeing that usually he only had time for a cup of coffee in the morning, then nothing much until dinner time. That was true of yesterday (where dinner came finally at nearly 10pm after we had carefully checked hotels out to find a safe one and the hotel had to find food enough for an extra 11 people), and today, where we didn't stop for lunch until 4pm at the next village.
Treating a fracture in this little goat.
More fractures, slow healing wounds, downed animals, infections, abscesses, persistent diarrhoea and even a case of toxicity due to a home treatment remedy gone wrong (burnt motor oil smeared over a calf to treat a skin infection). We have seen food and medical aid getting to towns and villages in this area, which is so important, but helping the animals is also of great assistance to the people. They need these animals for their livelihood and they also treat them like family and worry for them. When their house is in ruins, when loved ones have died, when they are living in makeshift shelters and struggling, seeing an injured or sick animal get often lifesaving treatment is a great emotional (and financial) boost.
Rope bridge we have to cross to get to animals.
The cut off for this trip is supposed to be 5.30pm to allow enough time to get back to Kathmandu safely. Everyone says it. "5.30, 5.30", but in a hamlet of small smashed dwellings on a steep mountainside overlooking the wide Nuwakot district no one intends to leave before all the animal cases are finished. A calf is checked and treated, the one with the motor oil rubbed into her skin. From next door rubble and chips of brick and mortar fly as the owner is trying to demolish the first floor wall of his house with a small crowbar. The villagers built these homes themselves by hand. Now they have to demolish them themselves, by hand.
We are forced to work by torchlight to repair a fractured limb.
We race back up to the main road, share some medical supplies with the local vet tech, exchange last minute news, advice and words of encouragement, then back into the 4wd for the long trip to Kathmandu. Even this is not uneventful as I spot a domestic dog with a long rope for a lead trapped on a busy highway bridge. We stop where it is safe, rush back and help the dog out of harm's way. It is another hour and a half and by then the streets of the capital are quiet and scattered with people bunkering down at ground floor level, in shops and garages, and in tents in the open ground for another nervous night.

Power Rankings: Week 13. 10 teams locked in, top two will face off one more time.
Most teams now have their final rankings.
By MikeWittmann@Mike_SBN Nov 28, 2022, 9:00am PST
Share All sharing options for: Power Rankings: Week 13. 10 teams locked in, top two will face off one more time.
We are back at it. Another week of games, another week of Mountain West teams disappointing, and now another week of rankings. Teams are distancing themselves from one another with each passing week. Through it all, the MWCConnection Power Rankings are back for another week. Let us know what you like and what you don't. Feel free to drop your own rankings in the comments section.
1) Boise State
Boise State played another close game before forcing some timely turnovers and turned it into a comfortable victory. While the offense has improved seemingly every game, the defense has become more inconsistent with the mounting injuries, which may limit their ceiling in the title and bowl games. Regardless, they have more star power than anyone else in the conference and star power still matters when it comes to making big plays. Once again, they will play for a Mountain West title. Fresno State should be a tough challenge, especially if they don't get players returning from injury.
2) Fresno State
The Bulldogs continue to look like a top team now that they are healthy. For the second week in a row (and really even longer), the offense was firing on all cylinders, while the defense didn't allow their opponent to do much at all. With so many weapons on offense, they are tough to scheme against. Now they get a rematch with Boise State and a chance to assume the top spot in the conference.
3) Air Force
The Falcons ended the season on a high note and notched nine regular-season victories. However, for a team that looked poised to win the division and even whispered about an undefeated season, they underachieved a bit and couldn't win the games they needed to. When Air Force has its schemes working, they look like one of the best teams in the conference. However, they haven't been able to harness that every week this season, which is why they are ranked here, a step below the top teams in the league.
4) Wyoming
The Cowboys are a very good football team, but fell short against the top teams, which they lost to in back-to-back weeks. After a heartbreaking, last-second loss two weeks ago, they couldn't muster any points this past game. Perhaps they were resting players in a game that didn't matter or perhaps they couldn't find a way to overcome a haunting loss. Either way, they should get into a pretty good MWC bowl game.
5) San Diego State
The Aztecs end the regular season without scoring any points. Although they found some answers on offense, they still lagged on that side of the ball and were a middle-of-the-road team because of it. On the other hand, they are bowl eligible and secured another winning season, achieving some goals. There is a lot to be said for being a consistent team that reaches a bowl every year and that's what San Diego State has accomplished, which is a nice consolation prize for falling short of repeating as division winners.
6) San Jose State
The Spartans were arguably one of, if not the, most inconsistent team this season. The talent is evident, but it could disappear week to week with no indication or warning. Still, they aren't an easy team to match up against or beat, so credit to them. They will enter bowl season as a wildcard. Then, they will enter the offseason in a mini-rebuild as they lose many of their core players.
7) Utah State
The Aggies turned things around the second half of the year, winning five of seven games. Credit to them for fighting back after a poor start to become bowl eligible. Their offense has looked better since the new quarterback entered the fold, although they are still not quite as dynamic as they were last season. Overall, it appears they will land right where most people predicted them to, a bowl team but not a team that would compete for the top of the conference. They have some momentum going into the offseason.
Spartans continue to slide as teh end of the season nears. They have lost all momentum from the first half of the season and that could be an issue for them come bowl season. They continue to beat up on the bottom of the conference, but the problem is they continue to get closer to the bottom of the conference following their reason losses. They still aren't an easy team to beat, however, they are extremely inconsistent.
8) UNLV
It was an exciting start for UNLV, but injuries and the tougher part of their schedule derailed what they hoped was going to be a solid step forward. In theory, they can still sneak into a bowl and they did snap their losing streak by beating their rival, so things ended on a high note. However, their next step is developing depth to balance out inevitable injuries. Still, this is something to build off of going into next season.
9) Colorado State
This season could not have gone more opposite than what was expected for Colorado State. Conventional wisdom would have said their defense would struggle but the passing attack would keep them in most games as they found their footing. Instead, the Rams have leaned on defense and a running attack to keep games low scoring, while they passing game has been absent throughout most of the season. They played better the second half of the season and are a pretty good bet to be an improved team next year. However, expect to see a lot of new faces.
10) Hawaii
The Rainbow Warriors have had a trying season, and now it is over. While they were expected to be bad, it was still a tough pill to swallow for a young and inexperienced team. They played hard and identified some players to build with. However, they need to hit the transfer portal hard, especially on the defensive side of the ball. Otherwise, they will continue to have a lot of competitive losses.
11) New Mexico
For the second year in a row, New Mexico started the season off strong and then once struggles began to appear, it seemed like they either gave up or ran out of gas. Regardless, they ended the year with a lot of losses and did not get a win in any of their eight MWC games. The Lobos will need more answers next season, plain and simple.
12) Nevada
The Wolf Pack also finish the season winless in conference play. It was a brutal end to the season after starting out 2-0, capped off by a close but devasting loss to their in-state rival. The season more or less went according to script, but it was still painful for all involved. Now they can regroup and work on improving for next year.

Little Zak Starkey had Ringo for a father, took lessons from Keith Moon, and grew up to be the replacement drummer for the Who, touring drummer for Oasis, and much more.
But–something tells me Keith "Moon the Loon" of the Who was not likely to have been a strict teacher, sending home lesson plans and exercise routines.
My hunch is that Zak was constantly exposed to drumming as done by a some of the greatest rock drummers who ever lived.
And that infiltrated his little subconscious and fundamentally affected the way he thought about drumming.
Because there's nothing that beats constant exposure to ideas and techniques to plant them soundly in your brain.
YOU haven't got a Ringo, so you'll have to create your own opportunities. See what you can do to expose yourself to a new idea, system, method, technique every single day.

Walter Kirn (geboren 3. August 1962 in Akron, Ohio) ist ein US-amerikanischer Schriftsteller.

Leben
Walter Kirn kam aus kleinen Verhältnissen in der Provinz und schaffte es, einen Studienplatz an der Princeton University zu bekommen, wo er 1983 graduierte. Für die Fortsetzung des Studiums an der Oxford University erhielt er ein Stipendium.

Eine erste Sammlung von Kurzgeschichten veröffentlichte er 1990 unter dem Titel My Hard Bargain. Kirns Essays und Rezensionen erschienen im New York Magazine, The New York Times Book Review, New York Times (Sunday Magazine), The Atlantic und im Time Magazin. Kirn schreibt Beiträge für The New Republic. Er war zeitweise amerikanischer Korrespondent für die BBC. 2005 führte er eine Zeitlang den Blog von Andrew Sullivan. Sein Roman The Unbinding wurde zuerst im Onlinemagazin Slate veröffentlicht. Zwei seiner Romane Thumbsucker (2005) und Up in the Air (2009) wurden verfilmt.

Kirn war seit 1998 zehn Jahre mit dem deutschen Hochstapler Christian Gerhartsreiter, alias Clark Rockefeller, befreundet, dessen vorgebliche Rockefeller-Verwandtschaft ihm als sozialem Aufsteiger imponierte. Sein 2013 erschienenes Buch über die Beziehung zu dem inzwischen verurteilten Mörder Gerhartsreiter behandelt nicht nur dessen Biografie, sondern auch dessen Erfinden von sozialen Realitäten, worin Kirn sich als Schriftsteller angesprochen sieht.

In einem Artikel in Harper's Magazine wandte sich Kirn im Juni 2016 gegen den unbedingten Glauben an die Vorhersagbarkeit von Kauf- und Wahlverhalten, sein Artikel wurde nach der Prognosepleite der Demoskopen bei der Wahl im November 2016 noch einmal nachgelesen.

Laughs Drive a Twisty Whodunit
By David Dixon | February 9, 2020 | 0
JD Dumas and Tony Houck. (Photos courtesy of Daren Scott.)
Popular murder mystery musicals are surprisingly scarce. While there are a few, such as The Mystery of Edwin Drood and Curtains that are routinely produced, others such as Nick & Nora and Baker Street are rarely put on by theatre companies.
New Village Arts Theatre's terrifically cheeky production of, Murder for Two, tells an entertaining story, and serves as a showcase for two artists.
During a New England birthday party for the novelist, Arthur Whitney, an unknown assailant shoots the famous writer to death. Marcus Moscowicz (JD Dumas), a by the book officer, who yearns to become a detective, soon stops by the author's home.
Hoping to move up the ranks, Marcus decides to solve the mystery himself. Initially excited to crack the case, he becomes aggravated with the strange personalities of many of the suspects who had potential motives to end Arthur's life, including the writer's wife, Dahlia (Tony Houck).
The script from Joe Kinosian (who provides music) and Kellen Blair's (who provides lyrics) requires a lot from the two leads. Each of the stars need to be strong actors, singers and take turns playing a piano in musical numbers. The men go above and beyond what is required for them in their roles.
Both Dumas and Houck are equally excellent piano players and singers, but Houck gets the showier role representing the various suspects. From his body posture to vocal delivery, Houck keeps audiences glued to the stage with his hilarious portrayals of characters ranging from a trio of choirboys to a raunchy European dancer, Barrette Lewis.
That doesn't mean that Dumas should be overlooked. He is intentionally giving a more subtly funny performance. Similar to most comedy duos, Dumas is serving as the straight man to Houck's antics, and keeps theatregoers rooting for the officer to succeed.
Kinosian and Blair's book features humorous references to mystery tropes, theatrical conventions and dysfunctional relationships. Even a reoccurring joke involving the titles of Arthur's book, that at first seems gimmicky, leads to some big laughs.
Since the first part of the story involves a good amount of set up, the majority of the funnier jokes are reserved as Marcus gets to know the suspects.
Tony Houck.
Kinosian and Blair's songs are catchy to hear, with songs including "Protocol Says" and "A Lot Worse" in particular standing out at the Carlsbad venue. Others, such as "It Was Her" and "Steppin' Out of the Shadows" play into the outlandish personalities of several
of the suspects.
Each tune and bizarre conversation is staged with expert comic timing by Director of Connectivity, AJ Knox. His work involves imagination and creative choices, since the narrative doesn't rely on fancy scenery or spectacle for the mystery. Keira McGee's costumes are classic and perfectly fit the characters as they enthusiastically play the piano.
And Paul Canaletti, Jr's lighting, is over-the-top, especially whenever red is used to symbolize blood.
Violet Ceja's audio had some minor issues in an early performance, yet her sound effects contribute to the goofiness of the theatrical piece, particularly the repeated screaming of a hapless cat.
Murder for Two highlights the many talents of its leads, without ignoring the twisty mystery at the center of the evening. Knox, Dumas and Houck make this an extremely fun evening for the sleuths in all of us.

Inquiry launched against Shujaat Azeem over PIA losses but there's more to the chaos
News Analysis |
The Chief Justice of Pakistan, Mian Saqib Nisar, has ordered the National Accountability Bureau to file a reference against former aviation chief, Shujaat Azeem, over a case related to the financial loss borne by the Pakistan International Airlines.
The top judge also ordered the concerned authorities to place Shujaat Azeem's name on the Exit Control List, effectively barring him from leaving the country. During the hearing of this case, the Chief Justice directly referred to the former aviation czar and questioned him on the reasons behind the failure of the national flag carrier, comparing his 'poor' performance with his successor, Sardar Mehtab Abbasi.
The top judge made the remarks after a thorough presentation by the economist, Farrukh Saleem, who informed the bench that PIA has suffered a total loss of Rs360 billion since 2008 to 2017, for multiple reasons. The crux of PIA's losses is based on the airline's disproportionate expenditure as compared to its generated revenue. Besides other factors like the political influence and association policy, Saleem also apprised the judicial bigwigs that the airline had purchased several spare parts of planes in 1990, which have not been used to this day.
Apart from the shady A-310 deal, Hildenbrand was also mulling sale of six engines for which he had signed an agreement of 1,70,000 Dollars, however, the agreement stood null and void when he got sacked.
Interestingly, at one end PIA was suffering losses while on the other end, it distributed as much as 287,000 tickets in a single year i.e 2013. The per day count of ticket distribution comes out to be 786, due to which it faced a loss of Rs 5 billion.

Shujaat Azeem's Role
Shujaat Azeem is at the core of PIA's controversy, however, he is not the only one to have steered the department. Azeem was appointed as the Prime Minister's Aviation Adviser as well as a Special Assistant on Aviation during the incumbent stint of ruling Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz. However, he faced the ire of Supreme Court, both the times.
In 2015, he resigned as Special Assistant to the Prime Minister on Aviation, after being barred from participating in affairs of the aviation division by the Supreme Court, on a petition filed by the pilots' union. Moreover, he had to leave the office of Prime Minister's Aviation Adviser in 2013 after the apex court raised concerns about his dual nationality and court-martial history.
Azeem is not an unknown figure in the aviation fraternity as he left the country after facing a court-martial and started his business. Another distinction about him is that he became captain of the private aircraft of Lebanese tycoon-turned-Prime Minister, Rafik Hariri. Although he is the brother of Tariq Azeem, Pakistan's High Commissioner to Canada, his association with Nawaz Sharif started after the bloodless coup of General Pervez Musharraf, the former military head.
The top judge made the remarks after a thorough presentation by the economist, Farrukh Saleem, who informed the bench that PIA has suffered a total loss of Rs360 billion since 2008 to 2017, for multiple reasons.
Shujaat Azeem came closer to Nawaz Sharif as he helped the latter, move out of the country, due to his close ties with Hariri. But the former aviation head was reportedly working on an honorary position for two years and did not receive a salary. Moreover, the position occupied by him lasted for around two years only. The PIA episode also involves other corporate executives, who have been enjoying the perks but failed to give back to the flag carrier. Among the recent officials of PIA, who played a dubious role, the most noticeable executive is Bernd Hildenbrand, the former Chief Executive Officer of PIA.
Hildenbrand had gone on leave but was removed from the post in August 2017 and interestingly, his name was struck off the ECL by former Interior Minister, Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan in response to a letter from the Foreign Office. The German citizen not only evaded the probe but also took with him, PIA's A-310 plane, which had been chartered by a British company for a film in Malta. Hildenbrand 's appointment was also termed a mistake by the incumbent aviation Adviser, Sardar Mehtab Abbasi, who revealed before a Senate committee in March this year, that the said official sold A-310 merely for 47,000 euro, which translates to Rs 6.3 million Pakistani Rupees.

Apart from the shady A-310 deal, Hildenbrand was also mulling sale of six engines for which he had signed an agreement of 1,70,000 Dollars, however, the agreement stood null and void when he got sacked. Another blunder committed by the incumbent regime, that inflicted a heavy loss on PIA, is the premier service, which was launched in 2016, however, it was shut down in March, the following year. Launched in haphazard, the service caused a total loss of Rs 2.1 billion in the first four months. And the A-330, acquired on a lease was finally returned to Sri Lanka when Azeem was not at the helm of affairs.
In essence, a thorough investigation will reveal the black hats involved in financial misappropriation of the flag carrier, though the practice can start from bringing Shujaat Azeem under the radar.

The lead-up to your first meeting with a divorce attorney will likely be a complex and emotionally fraught time-period. During the meeting with an attorney, you may not feel like you are at your best. You may never have dealt with an attorney before, let alone in a situation that feels quite so personal. You may be angry, confused or scared. In this difficult moment in your life, your attorney is the one person who will be completely and unambiguously entirely on your side. It's worth taking a few minutes before you walk into that office to make sure you take full advantage of what your attorney can do for you.
A written guideline that outlines your case and its likely trajectory.
To best serve you and your case, a skilled divorce attorney will get to know you, your situation, and your legal priorities while ensuring that you remain comfortable within the process.
On the most basic level, you need to be able to answer questions about your own case. Has it been filed yet, or are you looking to have the attorney initiate the process? Is the process likely to be collaborative or contentious – are you planning (at least right now) on talking it out, or fighting it out in court? Are there children involved? What level of assets, if any, are involved?
From a legal point of view, the issue divorces mostly deal with is money or assets, and many people know surprisingly little about their own financial situation. The more detailed information you have, the better. This isn't just a practical consideration, either. Having to go back and forth over and over again with your attorney asking you for your financial information, and having to then ask for more details, supporting documentation, etc. will cost you money. The more information you can provide up front, the less time – billable time! – your attorney will have to spend looking for it.
Every divorce – just like every marriage – is unique. Your initial meeting with a divorce lawyer will focus on the specifics of your marriage, including whether your divorce papers have already been filed, whether you are planning on pursuing a collaborative divorce rather than full-on litigation, and whether your divorce has reached the level of an emergency (e.g., your spouse is currently draining your bank accounts or you're the victim of domestic abuse). Your unique situation will guide your initial meeting with your divorce lawyer. It's your attorney's responsibility to ask the important questions that will allow them to get to know you, your situation, and your divorce priorities. Your responsibility, as the client, is to be open and honest in your responses and to provide as accurate a snapshot of your marital financials as you can.
It's also important to put front and center if there are any more complex or immediate issues at hand. Division of assets is a critical issue, so if you believe your spouse may have hidden assets – or be in the process of hiding assets, or draining bank accounts – your attorney should know about it immediately. If there is a history of domestic violence, or a reason to believe that bringing up the issue of divorce will lead to violence, getting a protective order needs to be at the top of the list. If you're not sure if your lawyer needs to know about something, tell them anyway – it's their job to tell you if it's important or not.
Every marriage is different and every divorce has unique aspects which need to be considered. You are likely going into your first meeting with a pile of questions – some of which can easily get lost in the shuffle. Make sure you write them down in an organized fashion, so you can walk out of your meeting feeling like you got all of them answered.
Divorce and property distribution can be an emotionally draining process, not to mention a complex one. Hiring an experienced family law attorney can greatly increase your peace of mind about the process. Furman & Zavatsky LLP has the experienced attorneys you need to assist you with asset division. They can help you determine whether settlement or litigation is the best choice for you, as well as how your assets are likely to be classified.

Introduction. According to the Chinese Astrologists, the characteristics of an individual can be determined from the year, month, time and place of birth.


The Prime Minister is the leader of the party with the most seats in the Parliament.
An MP refers to a Member of Parliament. Members of Parliament serve as representatives of the people. They are elected by community members within their riding. There are 11 ridings in the Ottawa area, each with an elected MP representing us in the Parliament. Alongside provincial representatives, the Prime Minister and MPs are active in decision making regarding how much money will be given for services within provinces, cities, and our communities.


One V.I. Board of Elections candidate could win a seat with as few as one vote while another candidate who received many thousands of votes would lose, if a bill sent out of the Rules and Judiciary Committee is enacted into law. The full Senate still has to weigh in on the measure.
The bill [31-0267] sponsored by Sen. Kenneth Gittens would also merge the existing district boards of elections into a single board that governs both districts and increase stipends during election counts and recounts from $85 to $125 per day for members and from $100 to $150 for the board chair.
As originally written, the bill would have created a single 14-member board and limited who one can vote for by saying "(n)o more than four members of the same political party may represent a district, including individuals who are not affiliated with any political party."
Gittens offered an amendment Wednesday, saying the single board would have nine members, with three elected from St. Thomas; one elected from St. John; four elected from St. Croix and one elected territorywide, who can be a resident of either district.
Gittens' amendment also requires that "no more than two members of the same political party" may represent a district, including nonpartisan candidates.
This restriction could result in candidates who received only a handful of votes being declared "winners" while other candidates who had the support of thousands more V.I. voters than them would "lose" and not receive a seat on the board.
Taking actual recent vote tallies as an example: In 2014, five candidates ran for St. Croix board seats. Unaligned candidate Adelbert Bryan received 4,898 votes; Democrat Rupert Ross received 4,552; Democrat Barbara Jackson-McIntosh received 4,441; Democrat Raymond Williams received 4,342 and ICM candidate Epiphane "Joe" Joseph received 2,033.
The bill and amendment keep the existing staggered terms with either three or four St. Croix candidates up for election every two years. To keep it simple, say all four seats are open. Then the top three vote-getters would be seated: Bryan, Ross and Jackson-McIntosh. But only two Democrats could be seated, so Joseph, with 2,033 voters wishing to see him represent St. Croix on the board, would have "won" and Williams, who was the chosen candidate of 4,342 voters, would have "lost."
That would be the result using the actual 2,014 vote tallies. But a less popular non-Democrat candidate would still "win" with even one vote, even if the Democrat received 10,000 votes. If another party's candidates were more popular, the effect would reverse, "electing" less popular Democrats instead of more popular ICM, unaligned or Republican candidates. The mathematical effect of the partisan limitation is to seat less popular candidates over those who V.I. voters actually vote for. This effect was not discussed at length during the hearing.
Gittens said the goal of the measure was for the territory to have a single, unified elections board, so that there would be unified policies and procedures throughout the territory. He pointed to controversy surrounding different ballot counting procedures in each district and long delays in counting ballots in the 2014 election.
He also said the unified board should be smaller than the existing joint boards of election, saying the territory's was among the largest and a reduced size may streamline its actions.
"When you look at it across the nation, you see membership of three to six. The most I've seen was 11. And when you look at those states, their (population) numbers far exceed our numbers here," Gittens said.
St. Croix Board of Elections Member Raymond Williams objected to the partisan limit on the board. "I don't see how that is okay under the constitution," Williams said.
Voting for the amendment and the bill as amended were Gittens, Sens. Jean Forde, Novelle Francis Jr. and Nereida "Nellie" Rivera-O'Reilly. Voting no were Sens. Neville James, Justin Harrigan and Janette Millin Young.
The committee voted to hold two other election reform bills, affecting party symbol voting and the operation of party primaries, pending more deliberation.

Q: C# how to return only one value from the list into a ComBox? Instead of all I am aiming to return a single value of CustomerName into a ComboBox.
This is how I get the data from the database:
public class DataAccess
{
    public List<ComplaintModel> FindOrderNumber(string orderNumber)
    {
        using(SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection(ConnectionString.MJMconnString))
        {
            var output = conn.Query<ComplaintModel>($@"
                    SELECT
                    TRIM(p.description) as Product,
                    c.name AS CustomerName,
                    FROM SalesOrder so JOIN SalesOrderLine sol ON
                    so.id = sol.salesOrderID JOIN Customer c ON
                    so.customerID = c.id JOIN Product p ON
                    sol.productID = p.id WHERE so.number = '{orderNumber}'").ToList();
            return output;
        }
    }
}

This would be the output (Used Excel to show you a rough idea):

So the ComboBoxes would look like this:

Quick conclusion
The customer name will always be the same for specific OrderNumber but products vary.
Form
Within my form I load the Product and Customer combo-box. (Note: I know you may be thinking to use a TextBox instead of a ComboBox for Customer, it just needs to be).
List<ComplaintModel> OrderNumber = new List<ComplaintModel>();

public void searchButton_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    clearBindings();

    DataAccess db = new DataAccess();

    // Search Order Number that is specified in a text box
    OrderNumber = db.FindOrderNumber(orderNumber.Text);

    // List all products
    product.DataSource = OrderNumber;
    product.DisplayMember = "Product";

    // Show customer name - but as [0] instead of all.
    customer_name.DataSource = OrderNumber;
    customer_name.DisplayMember = "CustomerName";

}

Desired output of combobox

This is my model
public class ComplaintModel
{
    public string CustomerName { get; set; }
    public string Product { get; set; }
}

Question
How do I retrieve just a single value of CustomerName into the ComboBox?

A: You need to create:
Customer class,
Order class.
Then You need to Create two lists for two comboboxes:
List<Customer> customers for customer combobox
List<Order> orders for orders combobox to show orders for selected customer (on combobox change event).
public class Customer
{
public string Id {get;set;}
public string Name {get;set;}
public List<Order> Orders {get;set;}
}

public class Order
{
public string Id {get;set;}
public string Name {get;set;}
public int CustomerId {get;set;}
}

In recent weeks I explained how the health of a senior is assessed to determine if Medicaid will assist with the costs of long term care. However, even if the Medicaid applicant's health requires long term care, the applicant must also establish a financial need.
The misinformation about how one financially qualifies for Medicaid assistance is remarkable. Too often applicants disqualify themselves from assistance, and create other problems, because they do not understand the requirements. The purpose of this column is to help correct some of the misunderstanding.
They can have only have $2000 in assets to qualify for Medicaid assistance.
They must have less than $2000 in monthly income to qualify for Medicaid assistance.
If they have more than $2000 in assets or monthly income, the best way to preserve their estate is to give the excess to family.
Each of these state statements is false. And yet, because they do not understand the rules, seniors make life altering decisions – including divorce – because they think it is necessary to receive Medicaid assistance. In reality, those decisions have unforeseen ramifications . . . and didn't need to be taken in the first place. In some cases, those decisions actually disqualify an otherwise qualified person from receiving Medicaid assistance.
Over the next few columns, I will describe in some detail how one qualifies financially to receive Medicaid assistance for long term care. It may help to keep in mind what I believe are three policies the government is attempting to balance in addressing this issue. First, a person with sufficient resources should not expect Medicaid to pay for his/her long term care. Second, because home based care is typically preferable to institutional care, those intending to return home are not expected to give up certain significant assets (such as their home) to qualify for care. Third, Medicaid is specifically designed to avoid impoverishing the applicant's healthy spouse while the applicant receives care.
Starting in the next column, I will explain the rules to qualify financially for Medicaid assistance and how these policies apply.


PFP :: Good Tidings - will there be some good news for recipients of PIP and ESA?
The assessment process for these benefits affects so many PFP clients. A significant proportion of the welfare benefit advice we provide is in response to failings with the assessment. Whilst it has been dispiriting to read recent reports on this topic, there is a little optimism that change may follow.
The House of Commons, Work and Pensions Select Committee, inquiry into the assessment process Welfare benefits have been back in the news. The delays and difficulties with claiming Universal Credit made the headlines recently, resulting in some welcome and surprising good news as the government reacted with positive policy changes. for ESA and PIP has received an unprecedented response. Usually the committee receives 100 responses to calls for evidence however, for this inquiry, over 3,000 people and organisations have submitted evidence revealing frustration and despair with the ESA and PIP assessments.
This follows two recent reports into the same issue. The Rethink Mental Illness report, 'It's Broken Her', published in December 2017, finds the assessment process for both ESA and PIP is utterly unsuitable for those living with a mental illness. The report suggests assessments inherently discriminate against those with mental illness, effectively worsening the claimant's health, and calls for an urgent comprehensive reform of the assessment process to make it fit for purpose.
Over 70% of respondents found the PIP application form 'hard' or 'very hard' and 11% of respondents were unable to complete it at all.
People are losing out on vital support with half (50%) of respondents saying they were receiving less money under PIP than they were previously entitled to under DLA, or they had lost their award completely.

Harrison Barnes can't control the expectations
I'm not sweating expectations. (Charles Rex Arbogast/AP)
Based on the expectations for Barnes, he fell well short. But based on what he actually did in two seasons at North Carolina, Barnes really wasn't all that bad: He still left Chapel Hill as one of just six North Carolina players to ever average at least 15 points in each of his first two seasons.
Whether or not Barnes, a 6-foot-8 swingman, showed enough of the intangibles to warrant being selected third in the NBA draft is up to Wizards President Ernie Grunfeld and his scouting department to determine. Barnes, though, has already proven adept at playing under pressure to perform for some time.
"Coming out of high school, there was a lot of hype, a lot of criticism, all that kind of stuff," Barnes said. "I've been in the spotlight. So that's something that's just become second nature. I'm used to being in it. I don't try to overthink it. You just be yourself and hopefully, it's accepted."
Barnes didn't lead the Tar Heels to a national championship, or consistently dominate the opposition in big games, but was reliable, relatively consistent and found a way to play his role on a team with four players expected to go in the first round on June 28.
Was that good enough for you? (Kevin C. Cox/GETTY IMAGES)
Once considered a favorite to go No. 1 overall in the 2011 NBA draft, Barnes slipped after an uneven freshman season, then opened himself up to more criticism when he returned for his sophomore season.
Barnes had a tendency to drift, but he was steadily moving at his own pace, even when others demanded him to be more assertive. He spent enough time in school to have questions raised about his athleticism, ability to penetrate and to use his first step to get by defenders.
"Obviously, criticism will be there, whether you're playing well or not. You just have to learn to play with it and just be as professional as possible," Barnes said. "I have no control over that. Whatever the expectations are, it's not going to make me change my game or how hard I work. The biggest thing is establishing a good work ethic and changing the culture in terms of how hard you work, putting in time in the gym. That'll earn the respect of your teammates and let them listen to you more."
At 20, Barnes is perhaps more polished and prepared to contribute than Bradley Beal or Michael Kidd-Gilchrist. He already has an NBA body and his game is probably more suitable for the pro game.
"I think it's daylight and darkness difference," Barnes said, when asked about what aspects of his game that he had to contain in college. "At Carolina, I was surrounded by great players and we felt like we were one of the more talented teams in the country, so my job was pretty specific. I was there to score. In the NBA, it's different. You kind of have to change your game a little bit and play NBA basketball.
"Immediately going into an NBA system, I'll have to immediately work on ball-handling and creating for others and I think they'll go hand in hand, being able to create shots for other people will not only make them better, but it will make you better," he said. "Only time will tell."
The Wizards haven't scheduled a workout with Barnes yet, but he met with them in Chicago and said he expects to come to Washington at some point. If the Wizards pass on him, Barnes is expected to land in Cleveland, where he would be paired with his good friend, Kyrie Irving. Barnes deflected rumors that the Cavaliers desperately wanted him.
"It's all poker faces around here, like, 'Hey, how ya doing?' " Barnes said. "You can't tell who's interested and who's not. The only thing you can do is try to leave the best impression possible."

Police renew appeal one week after serious assault in Elgin
2nd November 2017 by insideMoray
POLICE SCOTLAND HAVE RENEWED their appeal for information in connection with an assault that took place in Elgin last week – leaving a woman seriously injured.
Emergency services were called to the Woodside Terrace area one week ago today (Thursday October 26, 2017) shortly after 5am, when they found a 44-year-old had sustained an unexplained head injury.
She is currently receiving treatment at Aberdeen Royal Infirmary.
Today, the officer leading the investigation can confirm that the incident is being treated as an assault and is appealing for anyone with information to get in touch as extensive enquiries continue. Seven days on, officers will revisit the scene this morning to carry out further enquiries.
Detective Inspector Norman Stevenson said: "This has been an extremely complex case to deal with, especially as we have been unable to fully speak to the woman involved yet to establish what happened because of the extent of her injuries.
Assault in the Woodside Terrace area of Elgin
"Whilst we kept an open mind from the outset, as a result of our enquiries I am now content to say that this is being treated as an assault. That being the case, this would have been targeted and pre-planned given the early hour and the fact no one else is usually out in that area at that time.
"I would like to reassure the public that there is no information available to us whatsoever to suggest that this was a random attack."
He added: "Someone, somewhere knows what happened that morning and I would urge them to look into their conscience and come forward with information by calling Police on 101 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555111 in confidence.
"The woman involved was on her way to get a bus on East Road so I would appeal to anyone who was out walking or driving in the area and saw anything unusual to get in touch, and to anyone with dashcam footage who was in the Newmill Road, Pansport Road or South Lesmurdie areas of Elgin. Please quote incident number 0354 of October 26.
"Even if you think your information might be insignificant, I would respectfully ask you to let us make that assessment and come forward."
At the time of the incident, which took place at a lane near Woodside Terrace, the woman was wearing a light coloured jacket, blue jeans, brown boots and was carrying a black handbag. She has fair hair and is of average build.

EMLO, a scholarly visit, and figures of note
Created from 'Fireworks in honour of Catherine II in 1787', by Jan Bogumił Plersch. (Lviv National Art Gallery; source of image: Wikimedia Commons)
Something wonderful has just taken place: EMLO-Edit, the hidden working interface at the core of our online union catalogue, has clocked up six figures and is now host to more than 100,000 letter records. If this were not reason enough to let off a few fireworks, it is a double delight for us to note that it was the sixteenth-century Swiss scholar and polymath Johann Wilhelm Stucki (1542–1607) who was in the hot seat as his epistolary calendar moved from our preparatory collation area to top this landmark figure.
This time last year, Stucki did not exist in EMLO-Edit beyond records for three letters in the Bodleian Library; but over the past twelve months the talented young scholar and EMLO visitor Marc Kolakowski has brought him to life. Funded by the Université de Lausanne with a Swiss National Science Foundation doctoral mobility study grant, Marc applied to Cultures of Knowledge to be based within the project for the academic year 2014–15. Seizing the baton from our inaugural visiting fellow, Liège doctoral student Charlotte Marique, he divided his time between work on his doctoral thesis, learning EMLO's editorial procedures and practices, helping to develop and trial our epistolary collation and visualization tools, and assisting in the preparation of large quantities of late sixteenth-century metadata for upload: Justus Lipsius, Christophe Plantin, Theodor Zwinger, Philippe Duplessis Mornay, and Amandus Polanus von Polansdorf, to name but a few. As he pursued his archival research, Marc also created his own catalogue of metadata using EMLO's collation tools for more than a thousand letters to and from Stucki. This metadata, now combined with other correspondences in our working area EMLO-Edit, has just nudged us over the 100,000 mark [sorry, no pun intended!]. But because this material is still work-in-progress, Marc will continue to refine, enhance, and hone his significant contribution prior to making it public at a time of his choice.
The desiderata and needs of scholars are at the heart of everything we do and all we hope to develop. During his stay, Marc has been involved in the testing processes and discussions held during EMLO's second phase of development. His input, as a scholar working with manuscript letters, has been invaluable, and we would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to him and to wish him every good fortune from this point forward. As Marc's period of residency here, although thankfully not his involvement with EMLO, draws to a close, we would be extremely interested to hear from other scholars, young and old, who might wish to pursue their studies for a period under the aegis of Cultures of Knowledge. Is early modern correspondence central to your research? Are you at, or are you about to embark upon, post-graduate studies? Would you be interested in gaining editorial experience as well as significant insight into the inner workings of a major project in the digital humanities? Do you like the idea of contributing in some meaningful way as we work to record a second hundred thousand letters within the union catalogue? If so, and you would like to discuss a potential residency with us, please be in touch. We'd love to hear from you!

The reason Soviet troops used to boil their bullets
MIGHTY MILSPOUSE
Of course Jason Momoa fixes up old motorcycles with his kids
Fatherly By Cameron LeBlanc
Jason Momoa is a bona fide action star, a buff, bearded (most of the time) beast of a dude best known for playing fierce warriors of the Dothraki and underwater varieties. Off-screen, it seems that he takes the strength and free-spiritedness of his characters and combines it with an unapologetic commitment to his family.
In a new video – presumably for Harley-Davidson, though that's not ever made explicit — Momoa talks about his lifelong love of motorcycles. Over scenic desert landscapes, a well-worn motorcycle shop tells the story of the very special way he shared that love with his kids.
"Fierce and proud I put my hand on the throttle and with a twist it rumbled and howled like I held the power to control its breathing," he says, sounding like a muscled, tattooed Bruce Springsteen as slowed-down footage of his kids touching a motorcycle with wonder in their eyes plays.
"It was the first time I really felt speed. It was the awakening."
In what sounds apocryphal, Momoa talks about finding an old, broken-down Harley motor in a garage and being seized with a dream to fix it up and build a bike around it.
Where the Wild Stomped In – Happy Papa's Day!
"Reality sunk in, and that young man's dream, it had to wait. For my life," he says. Translation: he had kids and didn't have time to spend fiddling around in the garage for hours on end. That part is definitely relatable.
But the video is about motorcycles, so Momoa finds the time — with what looks like a very able, affable motorcycle-fixing dude — to make his dream come true.
"It has taken three decades in the making. The longest dream I have ever held onto. And now, the best part is that I get to share that dream with my children and the people that I love."
More beautiful shots of sparks flying, dirt getting kicked up, scenic vistas, and Momoa and his crew drinking beers follow. The motorcycle is fixed up and taken all over the desert.
"We built our family heirloom. We're the Momoas. We're the knuckleheads. And with every ride, whether it's me, my daughter, my son, or even a grandchild I don't know yet. They will share in the miles and memories we were creating."

Marlins Park to eventually cost Miami taxpayers $1.2 billion
By Craig CalcaterraJan 25, 2013, 12:27 PM EDT
The Miami Herald takes a look at the bonds that paid for Marlins Park and reveals their true cost to Miami taxpayers:
Miami-Dade borrowed about $400 million in that deal by selling bonds on Wall Street. During the commission discussion on the Dolphins plan, Mayor Carlos Gimenez mentioned one set of stadium bonds worth about $90 million would cost more than $1 billion to pay back. We at the ETM thought: Can that be true? The answer: yes.
Click through to read the gory details. Then never, ever believe a politician who claims that it's a good idea to invest public dollars in a stadium project again.

BIG and WeWork design a nature-inspired school for kids in NYC
under Architecture, Gallery, Schools
Creative co-working giant WeWork and acclaimed architecture firm Bjarke Ingels Group have teamed up to reimagine education starting with the launch of WeGrow, a new school in the heart of New York City that encourages education through play. Designed for children between three and nine years of age, the light-filled learning landscape is a tactile environment filled with custom-made curved architecture and movable furnishings. The theme of nature runs throughout and can be seen everywhere from the woodsy palette of timber surfaces and shades of green to the Laufen-tiled vertical garden filled with leafy plants.
Located in WeWork's headquarters in Manhattan's Chelsea neighborhood, the first WeGrow school spans 10,000 square feet and boasts a variety of communal spaces, which make up more than half of the school's footprint. Designed to foster "natural education" by promoting activities centered on discovery and collaboration, WeGrow hopes to "undo the compartmentalization found in traditional schools … by interweaving learning with playing spaces," Bjarke Ingels Group said. "The school environment becomes a third teacher that unleashes the superpower of each child."
In addition to diverse playscapes, the school consists of four classrooms, flexible workshops, community space, a multipurpose studio, an art studio and a music room. Hard corners are eschewed in favor of round, organic forms, like the curved storage units built with three different shelving levels for each age group. Sound-absorbing "clouds" made from felt and decorated with nature-inspired patterns hang from the ceiling and are illuminated with Ketra bulbs that change in color and intensity depending on the time of day. Felt is also used in the lobby and in the lounge.

"From the lobby to the classrooms, WeGrow is lit by Gople Lamp and Alphabet of Light — flexible lighting systems designed by BIG Ideas and manufactured by Artemide to create ambiance effects that form comfortable, natural lighting throughout the school day," Bjarke Ingels Group said in a project statement. "Playful and transparent, yet homelike and structured, WeGrow nurtures the child's education through introspection, exploration and discovery."
