It is an honour to be linked with Barcelona, says Brandt
Bongarts
The Liga club have been credited with an interest in the Bundesliga star, but he is not getting carried away
Julian Brandt described reports linking him to Barcelona as "an honour", but the Bayer Leverkusen star is wary of letting the interest go to his head.
After four seasons of consecutive Champions League qualification, Leverkusen dropped out of the top four last term, ultimately finishing 12th in a campaign which cost Roger Schmidt his job.
15/4 for Bilbao and Barcelona to draw
Missing out on European competition came with fears that Germany international Brandt could leave, with Bayern Munich strongly linked, but the winger opted to stay at the BayArena.
He has now been mentioned as a potential January target for Barca, who remain on the hunt for attacking options after failing to land Philippe Coutinho from Liverpool.
"This is an honour in any case, I will not deny that now," Brandt told Omnisport. "Of course, this is always a sign that your achievements were not for nothing.
"And like I said, of course it reflects your performance on the pitch, but you have to block out something like that in the end.
"If you always float on a cloud and say: 'I'm such a cool guy, because this club wants to have me', this is the wrong way, because then you drop with your achievements."
Heiko Herrlich has taken charge of the Leverkusen first team and they are on the up after a shaky start, winning three and drawing two of their last five in all competitions, including a 5-1 win at Borussia Monchengladbach last week, leaving them ninth.
Brandt remains hopeful Leverkusen can get back amongst the front-runners, but is taking things one step at a time.
"That will be tough. I guess first of all we want to settle in the top half of the league. That should be our first goal," he added.
"Since a few weeks we are something like 11th, 12th, 13th in the table.
"That we don't feel that well about that is obvious, but now the goal should be to distance ourselves from the lower spots. After that the sight goes to the top spots too but everything at its time."

DOMESTIC ASSAULT
TENNESSEE THEFT LAW
CRIMINAL TRESPASSING
STUDENT DEFENSE
TRAFFIC VIOLATION LAWYER
Dismissing a Case Without the Courtroom
By John P. Webb, Attorney at Law
In self-defense, Criminal Defense, results
Success as a criminal defense attorney can take many forms. It can be a jury verdict of "not guilty," or a successful plea negotiation in court.
Perhaps the most gratifying thing as an attorney is getting a client's charges dismissed before they even have their first court appearance.
Attorney John Webb recently helped a client facing aggravated assault have all charges dismissed before they stepped foot in the courtroom.
A woman reached out to John's office upon being charged with aggravated assault. The charge was related to a domestic incident, and the victim was the client's husband.
Police were called to the defendant's home and took a statement from the alleged victim, who claimed that the defendant threatened him with a knife. The police did not take a statement from the defendant claiming that she was too intoxicated and incapable of doing so.
Upon taking the husband's statement, the wife was arrested. She was able to make bond and be released from jail, but one of the requirements of her release was that she have no contact with her husband, the alleged victim.
Visit John Webb to learn more about criminal defense in Nashville, TN!
Mounting a Defense
The woman needed legal representation to fight these charges and have her side of the story heard, so she hired John Webb as her legal counsel.
John took the time to listen to her side of the story and quickly realized that the police had clearly misunderstood who the victim was in this incident. In fact, while her husband had no injuries whatsoever from the incident, she had significant and obvious bruising from the altercation with her husband. At John's direction, the client saved multiple pictures documenting her injuries.
While waiting for her court date, the client was careful to not reach out to her husband (since this would have violated a condition of her bond). However, she continued to receive communications from him, that included threatening texts and voicemails. At John's continued direction, she saved all these communications. Upon review of both the photographs and the communications sent by the husband, it was very clear that the husband's story was not true.
Pursuing Dismissal
While most Tennessee court proceedings were closed due to the pandemic, John continued to pursue this case outside of the client's court dates.
He presented his theory of the case to the District Attorney, using the pictures, texts, and voicemails retained by the client as support. He clearly showed that the alleged victim in this case was in fact the primary aggressor, and that his client was wrongfully accused of this crime.
Based on the presentation he made to the DA, all charges against the client were DISMISSED prior to the first court date. The client was able to have the charges expunged and her record wiped clean of a crime she didn't commit. In addition, the swift resolution of these proceedings helped the client to move on from this upsetting incident and move forward with her life without the threat of lingering criminal charges.
The Importance of a Criminal Defense Attorney
When facing serious charges such as aggravated assault, it's important to have an attorney who will stand by your side, listen to your story, and devise a strategy to effectively respond to the State's allegations so that you can move forward with your life.

Q: Eclipse hanging in svn+ssh project Hey! I am running eclipse php helios on windows 7 64bit.
I have created a projected with existing sources, sources from a svn+ssh repository.
I have the project in another pc, which is running ubuntu server 10.10.
My problem is that I can't do a refresh of the project. It hangs when the bar is at half.
I can see the file in php explorer but not with the svn info (the rev is 0)
I have changed in the svn interface to SVNKit.
Do I have to do something else?? What do I need to do to make this work??
Edit: I just left the eclipse updating overnight and it finished updating. It seems there is something that causes the update to take a really long time

A: Do you have binaries in your repository?
I usually get this problem when trying to checkout a large binary file. It happens with svn://, http:// and svn+ssh://. Usually, I just let it hang in there for a while and it ends up working. It can take few hours though, depending on the size of the file.

A: Another thing that can muck up SVN on windows is bad file names.  If you have a file that does not meet Windows naming conventions it can hang your SVN checkout.

Why the Vietnam War Still Matters
Jackson Lears October 22, 2004
According to conventional wisdom, we wasted weeks of the 2004 presidential campaign in refighting the Vietnam War. In a literal sense this lament is well justified. Without question there are more urgent matters on our agenda than who did what thirty years ago. Yet the Vietnam furor has persisted, and even flared up again. We can see it in the Sinclair Broadcasting Company's decision to air the anti-Kerry smear Stolen Honor—first as a documentary film, then as part of a "balanced" news story based on the film. Stolen Honor and the Swift Boat Veterans' charges that spawned it are both symptoms of the same disease: the collective amnesia that threatens democratic debate in the contemporary United States.
"The struggle of man against power," the Czech novelist Milan Kundera wrote, "is the struggle of memory against forgetting." During the twentieth century, control over public perceptions of the past has become an essential strategy for the maintenance of state power. Kundera opened The Book of Laughter and Forgetting by recalling the disappearance of a Communist leader from official photographs after he had been charged with treason and hanged. Anyone who had questioned the regime's legitimacy could simply be airbrushed out of history. Our postmodern media managers are subtler, but in reshaping the public memory of the Vietnam War they have accomplished something even more impressive. They have erased the experience of an entire generation.
Since the rise of Ronald Reagan, right-wing journalists and intellectuals have successfully sold us a fictional explanation for American defeat in Vietnam. It is a variant of the "stab in the back" story concocted by German nationalists after their defeat in World War I. The American mission in Vietnam, from the post-Reagan view, was a "noble cause" done in by cowardly campus radicals and their allies in the "liberal media," whose combined pressure on politicians forced the military to fight "with one hand tied behind its back." During the last 25 years, this rightist fairy tale has seeped into our popular culture — in the regularly scheduled rants of talk-radio and cable-television hosts, in films from Rambo to Forrest Gump, and in the rhetoric of politicians in both parties. By the '90s, even liberals were too cowed by this bizarre account of the Vietnam era to recall what actually happened.
Yet for a moment in July, on the last night of the Democratic Convention, it seemed as if one major party, at least, might finally be remembering the truth about the Vietnam War. In different ways, Max Cleland and John Kerry made the same larger point: despite having volunteered for the war, many veterans came to see it as a catastrophic mistake, sustained by systematic mendacity. Opposition to this war was a patriotic service. For a moment that night in July, as Cleland and Kerry recalled their commitment and disillusionment, it looked as if our politicians might finally be coming to grips with the real meanings of the American misadventure in Vietnam.
But that hopeful assumption underestimated the tenacity of the right-wing narrative, as well as its centrality to contemporary Republican strategy. The Orwellian "Swift Boat Veterans for Truth" burst on to the post-convention scene, telling big lies and sowing big doubts about Kerry's medals. In a predictable display of phony "evenhandedness," the national media gave the Swift Boat slander equal time with Kerry's defense, as if lies and truth deserved an even break from a responsible press.
The Swift Boat Veterans (now appearing in Stolen Honor) embrace the "stab in the back" story of defeat in Vietnam. They are enraged that Kerry told the truth about the Vietnam War, as he did in his testimony to Congress in 1971 when he reported the results of the Winter Soldier Investigation. At this investigation, he testified, over 150 honorably discharged, many highly decorated veterans acknowledged their common participation in acts that could be characterized as atrocities or even war crimes. These men courageously questioned their own conduct, and demanded to know how their government had placed them in conditions that encouraged or even required that conduct. They spoke for themselves and their comrades, those who had died as well as those who lay helpless in veterans' hospitals, forgotten by the prating politicians who publicly claimed to exalt them.
The young Kerry was clear about who was responsible for this disaster. He asked:
Where are the leaders of our country? Where are they now that we, the men [whom] they sent off to war, have returned? These are the commanders who have deserted their troops. These men have left all the casualties and retreated behind a pious shield of public rectitude.
This testimony is simply inadmissible to the sanitized story of the Vietnam War that dominates contemporary politics. The Swift Boat Veterans profess outrage at the very notion that any Americans might have committed atrocities in Vietnam. By focusing on ordinary soldiers and leaving policymakers out of the picture, this stab-in-the-back perspective avoids the larger meanings of that capacious word, "atrocity" — the carpet bombing, the free fire zones, the use of Napalm and Agent Orange — all the government strategies sanctioned by the highest military and civilian authority. Faith in American virtue remains intact, and the erasure of collective memory is stunning. A recent headline in the Village Voice read: "Kerry Was Right: New Evidence of Vietnam Atrocities." As if Kerry needed "new evidence" to confirm his own experience, and the experience of his contemporaries! Well, apparently he does.
In contrast to the media legitimating of the Swift Boat Veterans' lies, consider the discrediting of the essentially accurate CBS report on Bush's National Guard service. The truth about Bush's service — or lack of it — disappeared beneath a fog of charges and countercharges regarding the authenticity of several letters written by Bush's commanding officer, Lt. Col. Jerry Killian. No matter that the colonel's secretary confirmed the substance of the documents (while asserting that she herself had not typed them.) No matter that the former Lieutenant Governor of Texas, Ben Barnes, admitted publicly that he was "ashamed" of securing preferential treatment for Bush and other wealthy, well-connected young men. The letters could not be authenticated, and that became the story.
The problem here is not that Bush evaded the draft or even that he did so by benefiting from economic privilege. (No one should have to apologize for avoiding that vile war by any means necessary). The problem is that his behavior epitomizes the hypocrisy of the draft-dodging hawk. Like most of his administration, Bush vigorously supported the war while even more vigorously trying to evade it, and ever since his entry into presidential politics his handlers have concealed their candidate's spotty military record while outfitting him in military costumes and posing him as a courageous Commander-in-Chief, brimming with "resolve." He has become the quintessential postmodern patriot, for whom the appearance of bravery and command is more important than the actuality.
The acquiescence of the national media allows this pose to work. The draft-dodging hawk becomes an embodiment of heroic leadership, while his opponent "is perceived" (we are told) as indecisive and weak — this man who courageously volunteered for combat, then came home and courageously criticized the insane policies he had seen on the ground in Vietnam. One does not have to be an uncritical fan of Kerry to deplore the absurdities promoted by the postmodern Right. No wonder so many of us, when we encounter the national media coverage of this campaign, feel that we have entered an "Wonderland" world, as the novelist and Vietnam veteran Tim O'Brien said of the Swift Boat controversy — a world where factual evidence is ignored, common-sense perceptions of reality are reversed, and history is refashioned to meet the needs of those in power.
The consequences for contemporary politics cannot be overestimated. Refusal to come to grips with our defeat in Vietnam — to reflect on the hazards of a morally-charged hubris — lies at the core of our current misfortune. Bush's advisers came of age in the shadow of that defeat, determined to deny its significance by reasserting imperial power on a grand scale, just as German nationalists had longed to do in the wake of World War I. That dream of national regeneration, combined with our collective amnesia, lets the Bush administration ignore the growing parallels between the failed policy in Iraq and the failed precedent in Vietnam: the millennial fantasies used to justify the war; the ignorance of local culture and custom; the reiteration of empty platitudes as chaos looms; the fetish of "free elections;" the soldiers trapped in an impossible assignment — as vulnerable to local hostility as any Western army of occupation has ever been, in any country with a history of colonial domination.
The most important parallel is the government's inability to tell the truth about the war. The lie at the center of the right-wing Vietnam narrative — the stab-in-the back story — is also central to Bush's campaign strategy. The belief (against all evidence) that the troops in Vietnam were somehow betrayed by the antiwar movement, rather than by the men who sent them there, remains a powerful rhetorical weapon. It allows Bush and his handlers to equate criticism of government policy with treason — or at best with a failure to "support our troops." The persistence of this twisted logic underscores the continuing relevance of the young John Kerry's charge: that the people who have truly abandoned our troops are the policymakers who sent them on a fool's errand under cover of false claims, and then "retreated behind a pious shield of public rectitude." They're doing it again. That is why the Vietnam War still matters.

Q: How does importing a module inside a function make code more modular? From Dive into Python:

You're used to seeing import statements at the top of a program, which
  means that the imported module is available anywhere in the program.
  But you can also import modules within a function, which means that
  the imported module is only available within the function. If you have
  a module that is only ever used in one function, this is an easy way
  to make your code more modular.

The other alternative to importing module at the function level is to import it at the module level (of which the function is a part).
Since the module is the reusable unit, how does the former option increase modularity?

A: I'm not convinced that importing at the function level is more modular. Importing a function (or class) from a module within Python will resolve the library dependencies, and those imported functions work without having to import the same libraries.
(Note: I'm using library to avoid saying module every other word)
Example:
my_module.py
import sys

def printerr(message):
    """Use stderr for error messages"""
    sys.stderr.write('{0}\n'.format(message))
    sys.stderr.flush()

my_script.py
import os

from my_module import printerr

def main():
    """Derpy script"""
    if 'my_important_file.txt' in os.listdir():
        print("it's there")
    else:
        printerr("ERROR: Unable to find important file")

Given, this is an extremely simplified example, but importing sys within printerr would not make it more modular. It's equally modular either way.
In my experience, the issues that can and do arise is related to tech-debt build up when it comes to modularity.
At first, you have a simple module with a well defined idea of what it does. The libraries imported within that module make sense and are highly used across the functions/classes within it.
As time goes on, and features are added, we often just add the new functions/classes in a "best fit" module (i.e. "I guess it makes sense to put that here?").
More time goes on, and a better library comes into popularity, so I'll use that one, but I really don't want to spend several weeks replacing all that old code (like I have that kind of time, I got things to make!).
Before long you have a gnarly bit of code that imports like 20 things and does way to much. And of course there are no unit tests, so every time you touch it, you break something, but it takes a week to find out...
Now you're sick of dealing with this, so screw it, I'll just import what I want within my functions that use it; this is easier than dealing with some 20 imports.
A very compelling reason to not import within functions is well demonstrated like this:
def doh():
    import nothing
    print "Homer says..."

That's a bug you just shipped, because doh never got called in your unit tests, but it gets called in this one weird way that you didn't think of. "If only I imported like PEP8 said, I wouldn't have this problem."

Oregon Marijuana Initiative Hands in Final Signatures
Ballot Measures
Marijuana -- Personal Use
Marijuana Industry
Oregon could well be the third state to end up with a marijuana legalization initiative on the ballot after supporters of the Oregon Cannabis Tax Act (OCTA) said they had handed in more than 165,000 signatures by last Friday's deadline. Marijuana regulation and legalization initiatives have already qualified for the ballot in Colorado and Washington.
The Oregon measure needs 87,000 valid signatures to qualify for the ballot.
"We believe we are going to make it easily," said OCTA chief petitioner Paul Stanford at a Salem news conference Friday morning.
But it's still nail-biting time as state election officials can take up to a month to validate signatures, and they have already invalidated signatures handed in earlier at a record rate. At the end of May, OCTA turned in 108,000 signatures, only to have nearly half of them invalidated, a shockingly high percentage of disqualifications.
With only 55,000 valid signatures from that first batch of 108,000, that means OCTA has to come up with 32,000 valid signatures from that second batch of 57,000. If the same rate of invalidation holds, the measure will fall just short.
But last month, Stanford told the Chronicle the OCTA campaign had tightened up its signature gathering in the wake of the high invalidation rate on the early signatures. "We're screening our signatures much better now, we're checking in with every single petitioner. We're closely scrutinizing every incoming sheet," he said.
If OCTA makes the ballot and is approved by voters in November, Oregon would regulate the cultivation and sale of marijuana to adults 21 and over. The measure would also legalize hemp production in the state.
A second marijuana effort, the Oregon Marijuana Policy Initiative (OMPI), would have asked Oregon voters to approve a state constitutional amendment to legalize personal cultivation and possession of marijuana. While it, too, appeared to have a good chance of qualifying earlier this year, it too suffered from record high signature invalidation rates.
Because it is a constitutional amendment, it faces a higher hurdle, needing 124,000 valid signatures to qualify. Chief petitioner Robert Wolfe told Reuters this week he did not expect OMPI to make the ballot because of the high number of disqualifications. He told the Chronicle last month he was contemplating legal challenges to the invalidations.
In a month or less, we will know if OCTA has qualified. We could end up with a Western weed legalization trifecta for November.

This measure attempts to give the state of Oregon a legal monopoly on cannabis. A new state agency modeled after the OLCC would be created to sell, regulate and tax cannabis. Selling it outside the regulatory scheme would be a felony. This is a terrible idea, and would put state officials in violation of Federal drug laws. We don't need to tax and regulate cannabis in Oregon, we only need to repeal existing prohibition laws.

If the measure passes, the commerce aspect of the initiative MAY place the law in federal conflict, but in regards to the most substantive part, legalization, there is no conflict: Specifically, a state is always empowered to repeal its own criminal laws and doing so creates no "conflict." It just simply means that marijuana would only be illegal at the federal level and not at the state level. Therefore, it would be up to the federal government alone to enforce federal law upon individuals. Individual states always have the power to withdraw their own laws, and the absence of a law does never creates a conflict since there would presumably be no law to conflict with!

Which is a fundamental right. Things have only gotten this far because so many people have pushed for it, and that's not going to stop until people can enjoy their personal marijuana garden in peace. This is a big step in the right direction, and as legalization of use helps it becomes clear to ever more people how extremely less likely cannabis is to lead to violence and grief than alcohol, the argument that's it's ok to make your own alcohol but not to grow your own weed will seem absurd and archaic, and will easily fall in another referendum, if that's necessary.
If people have the right to gather in a zillion bars in this country despite all the life and death problems those bars cause, then they also have the right to gather in cannabis cafes. Maybe that's not as fundamental as the right to grow your own plants for your own use, but any discrimination that favors alcohol over cannabis is violence promoting and unjust, because alcohol is so vastly more of a problem child.

Something does not smell right, The invalidation rate seems way, Way too high, Are we sure they are not invalidating signatures unlawfully just to thwart the attempt to put it on the ballot because they are afraid it will pass, We already know that the Corruption runs deep in most ALL government agencies today and people are losing confidence in our Voting process and quite a few people have stopped voting due to the already exposed fraud in our system, Illegal`s voting, Dead people voting, etc,etc. I say that some kind of investigation needs to be started if there is more than a 50% invalidation rate, Like I said, Something does NOT smell right, and it`s NOT weed!
For those who plan to vote
For those who plan to vote "no" because you think the initiative contains too much regulation, please remember that small steps are needed because these measures have to appeal to moderate voters. Restrictive measures must be included to take away the opposition's arguments. I urge you to vote "yes" because this bill, although not perfect, still represents progress in the right direction. Amendments can always be made later, but the key is get it legalized first - the alternative is to keep it illegal.

The Evolution of the Honda Accord
March 26, 2020 No comments kagolest
The 1st technology Honda Accord was introduced in 1976 as a two-door hatchback with sixty eight horsepower (51 kW), a ninety three. Honda selected the title Accord, reflecting "Honda's need for accord and harmony between people, culture and the vehicle. It has achieved appreciable achievement, specially in the United states, in which it was the greatest-offering Japanese automobile for fifteen several years (1982-ninety seven), and grew to become the initial Japanese-branded automobile to be made in the US. The Accord turned the initial Japanese vehicle to be created in the US in 1982, when generation commenced in Marysville, Ohio at Marysville Auto Plant in which automobiles had been developed and exported again to Japan. The Honda Accord has been bought in most automotive marketplaces during the world. The European Honda Accord, also produced in Sweden, turned extremely various from its cousins in terms of styling, and was also shorter than the JDM and USDM Accords.
The Accord was originally planned to be a V6-powered auto with a lengthy hood and sporty pretensions. Vastly improved good quality management, nevertheless, created this a single of the most dependable vehicles on the US market, a place it still retains these days. This was one of the initial US manufacturing autos to attribute optic reflectors with entirely very clear lenses on the headlamps replacing the more standard sealed beam styled lighting. A small-known truth about the 1998 Accord was that it was assembled in New Zealand at the really finish of all round New Zealand CKD automobile generation (due to alterations in tariffs for auto importation in that region). Now a vastly distinct auto to the around the world Accord, the North American design grew more substantial nevertheless, attaining more interior area and fat than its global counterpart. The American Accord was only obtainable in sedan and coupe type, turning out to be the greatest Accord to day
The Following Era
For the first time, Honda provided an "fanatic" version in the US, adding a sporting activities suspension and mating the six-pace guide transmission from the Acura CL to the V6 Honda Accord Coupe. Modernizing both the inside and exterior, the 2nd era Accord was mechanically extremely equivalent to the unique, utilizing the identical seventy five hp (56 kW), 1751 cc EK1 CVCC motor. Honda introduced the Perception, America's initial hybrid motor vehicle nevertheless the gas economic climate leader, in December 1999. Honda then took hybrid technological innovation into the mainstream with the introduction of the Civic Hybrid in March 2002.
The 2006 Honda Accord Hybrid, in only its next product calendar year gained a number of enhancements which includes exterior updates to further differentiate the Accord Hybrid from other Accord Types. Honda presented to the globe the interesting Accord Tourer Idea and the new technology of Honda diesel engines, i-DTEC at the 2007 Frankfurt motor demonstrate. In 2008 the Honda Accord was fully redesigned, boasting a lot more energy and passenger room. In real-globe use, however, the car's gasoline economic climate was disappointing and men and women balked at its greater price tag.
In evaluations, it has been located that the most current Honda Accord continues to excel as a family sedan or midsize coupe. Customers intrigued in a Honda Accord but restricted to a scaled-down price range could also examine out the fourth-technology Accord, which was obtainable commencing in 1990. Even so, the Accord has matured into a larger car now approaching the likes of the Ford Taurus, but is still offered "compact" standing. Honda sold the North American Accord in a number of other marketplaces such as Asian (now created in Thailand), Middle Japanese, Caribbean, Australian and New Zealand markets with blended benefits.
When examined from a holistic standpoint, it truly is effortless to see why this Honda automobile has grow to be an automotive icon and one particular of our editors' top suggestions.


What were the Mayans doing when they build the pyramids of Chichén Itza? What were their prophecies? Decrypt these enigmas, and more, visiting the archaeological site, and with a visit to a sacred cenote.
Having picked you up from your hotel we'll hit the road to the most famous archaeological site in Mexico.
Having arrived at Chichén Itzá we'll visit the most important and renowned remains of the Mayan civilisation, revealing its incredible secrets through a guided visit of the archaeological site.
We'll reveal the secrets of the Kukulkán pyramid, named one of the seven wonders of the modern world in 2007, and which remains part in darkness part illuminated during the solstices, testament to the deep astrological knowledge of the pre-colonial civilisations.
Continuing our tour we'll visit the Chichén Itzá temples, one of the most spectacular of which being the temple of the warriors, decorated with images of war and guarded by a forest of columns, custodians of Chac Mool, god of the rain.
Then we'll head to one of the sacred Mayan cenotes, where you can swim, or simply enjoy the leafy landscape. Archaeologists have even found numerous human remains here, due to the sacrifices which once took place in the area. And having finished the guided tour we'll fuel up with a buffet lunch (although due to timing the buffet may come before the cenote tour).
With the tour over we'll head back to the Cancún hotels, arriving at around 7 pm.
From the 1st February onwards this excursion includes a guided tour of the colonial village of Valladolid, discovering all the most important monuments in the old town such as the church of San Servacio, the Municipal Palace and the Municipal Market.
Please note: bus access to Valladolid is occasionally blocked due to local festival celebrations. If this is the case on the day of your tour, you'll visit the nearby town of Pisté instead.
This tour includes hotel pick up in the majority of the hotels in Cancún. You can consult the full list below.
You can also reserve this tour leaving from the Riviera Maya.
Entry to the archaeological site and visit to the sacred cenote.
Life jacket (approx 5 USD).
En la mañana nos recogieron puntualmente y nos llevaron a unirnos a un grupo mayor, nos cambiaron dos veces más, tras la reunión, todo fantástico. Eso sí lo recuerdos hay que comprarlos dentro de Chiché Itzá.

Our favourite Portugal routes through Lisbon, Madeira & the Azores
7 June 2018 by Claire Benktander
Every year on 10th June, Portugal celebrates its annual national holiday, commemorating the death of national literary icon Luis de Camoes on 10th June 1580 and observed throughout the world by Portuguese citizens and emigrants. In honour of the aptly-named Portugal Day, we've picked our favourite routes and places to stay in Lisbon and its surrounds, as well as the rugged delights of Madeira and the Azores, to immerse yourself in the famed pousadas, cobblestone villages and world-class gastronomy of this Iberian gem.
Capital city Lisbon is a natural starting point for many Portugal holidays, but it's more than just a stopover – Lisbon's easy combination of ancient charm and metropolitan allure make it an unmissable stop. From vibrant Bairro Alto buzzing with bars and street-side restaurants to the winding streets of Lisbon's oldest district Alfama, the pastel buildings, ochre-red roofs and coastal crescents are charm embodied. The city centre provides boundless delights, from the engineering marvel Elevador de Santa Justa lift, linking the upper and lower levels of the city, to the 1930s-restored Route 28 tram, attention-grabbing as it winds through cobbled streets. We particularly like the Tivoli Avenida Liberdade Lisboa hotel, situated among the palm trees of Avenida Liberdade and Chiado's exclusive boutiques, with semi-tropical gardens and a swimming pool.
Head just west and you'll find Sintra, a fairytale town dwarfed by its eponymous mountain range, surrounded by forested plains and dotted with rainbow palaces and villas. The highlight is undoubtedly the Moorish-style castle and the Romanesque national palace, glittering over the ocean below and offering sweeping valley vistas. The Tivoli Palacio de Seteais is an unbeatable choice for a stay in Sintra, charmingly situated at the foothills of the mountain range with spectacular countryside views. Frescoes and chic furnishings add to the delights, as well as massages in the hotel's gardens and a stunning bar terrace. For something more contemporary, we also recommend Penha Longa Resort, a wonderful mix of medieval architecture and ultra-modern features. Enjoy a two-Michelin star restaurant looking over 300 acres of lush woodland, as well as indoor and outdoor pools, a romantic monastery, spa and the enchanting Estoril coast in the distance.
Pena Palace, Sintra
If it's coastal charm you're after, neighbouring Estoril and Cascais offer it by the bucketload. The latter is all luxurious beachside villas, Revivalist palaces, cobbled squares, designer boutiques and al fresco fresh fish restaurants, edged by a trio of golden crescents, craggy sea caves and clinking yachts in the marina. For those preferring a more laidback trip, Estoril's spired villas, palm-edged seafronts and beautiful beaches abide, particularly with a stay at Hotel Palacio Estoril, one of our favourite Estoril hotels. Situated right on the shore, it's just a 20-minute walk to the city centre but idyllic beaches also lie just moments away. Enjoy the hotel's private golf course, then come back to elegant décor, landscaped gardens and a terrace restaurant with stunning ocean views.
Away from the mainland, Porto's good-looking charms, Madeira's rugged hills or the dramatic landscapes of the Azores are easily reached from Lisbon via boat or flight. Porto's historic gems are boundless, from the baroque and gold gilded décor in the São Francisco Church to hidden gems like the religious mosaics in the Sao Bento train station. Pastel houses frame imposing bridges and charming ports, and the riverside region is all winding cobbled laneways, the quayside ideal for relaxing with a glass of the famous local port.
Douro River, Porto
Further afield, the subtropical archipelago of Madeira, all volcanic landscapes and soaring cliffs, is just a short flight from Lisbon, making it an ideal combination trip. Stroll along waterways that criss-cross the verdant scenery, hike mountain canyons and cosy forest trails in Laurissilva, and relax or go scuba diving on the plethora of pebbly beaches. Madeira is also home to one of the world's most renowned hotels, Reid's Palace, whose reputation for excellence goes back over a century. Set amid ten acres of subtropical gardens on clifftops that overlook the Atlantic Ocean, it's true old world charm at its best. Each room is elegantly draped with florals and dark wood, with patios over the ocean alongside poolside dining, tennis courts, dolphin watching and even helicopter flights.
Reid's Palace, Madeira
Head north and you'll find the Azores, isolated in the middle of the Southern Atlantic. The sub-tropical climate is home to nine individual islands, each with their own unique atmosphere. From the dramatic volcanoes of Pico Island to the beaches and remote coves of Santa Maria, the 'Hawaii of the Atlantic' is perfectly explored with our Azores Discovery Tour, an easy flight away from Lisbon. You'll explore volcanic pools and smoking calderas, walk along spectacular cliff-framed coastlines and discover pretty villages seemingly untouched by time on the islands of São Miguel, Terceira and São Jorge, alongside taking in wonderful gastronomy and wine tours.
Sao Miguel, Azores
The combination of pousadas – a network of state-owned hotels in Portugal synonymous with the history, culture and traditions of their particular region – and the country's endless allure is an exceptional way to experience Portugal and its past. There's a stunning range of historic pousadas to be explored, and with our Green Pousadas of Portugal itinerary you'll explore national parks and the historic village of Braga alongside stays in hilltop pousadas in medieval towns and pousadas perched among rivers and valleys.

Q: Put value into map if not null Does Java have something like
map.putIfValueNotNull(key, value)

So I can put value in the map only if it`s not null without explicit checking.

A: You could use computeIfAbsent() function which checks if the key is already in the map. If it is there it doesn't do anything.
If the key is not present then it checks if the calculated value is null and puts into the map it if it is not.
map.computeIfAbsent(key, val -> value);

Be careful, putIfAbsent puts null values into the map.

A: I tried the following and it seems to work.
Map<String, String> map = new HashMap<>();
String object1 = "blah";
String object2 = null;
map.compute("key1", (k, v) -> object1);
map.compute("key2", (k, v) -> object2);

System.out.println(map);

I don't know if there are performance or other considerations that would make this way undesirable. It looks pretty clean to me. If object1 or object2 is null, then they don't end up in the map. When I run this I get the following result.
{key1=blah}

Note that if a value with the same key is already in the map, it will be replaced.

A: I know that org.apache.commons.collections4.MapUtils contains method safeAddToMap(), but if value is null, it adds empty string which is not what you want.
I do not like variant, to override HashMap to implement new method, because in this case you do not have it for other implementations: TreeMap or LinkedHashMap or else.
I do not know about that this function exists in some availabe library, like Apache or similar.
Therefore, in my projects, I have to implement it myself:
public static <K, V> Map<K, V> addNotNull(Map<K, V> map, K key, V value) {
    if(value != null)
        map.put(key, value);

    return map;
}

A: In such a case, I would just use Optional:
Optional.ofNullable(value).ifPresent(v -> map.put(key, v));

Formally, this doesn't meet the requirement of explicit checking absence, but it is still quite short and clean, and no operation is performed with map if the value is null.

A: As per the java documentation, If the specified key is not already associated with a value (or is mapped to null), attempts to compute its value using the given mapping function and enters it into this map unless null.
A simple example to put:
public static void main(String[] args) {
    HashMap<String, String> map = new HashMap<>();
    map.put("1", "ONE");
    map.put("2", null);

    map.computeIfAbsent("3", val -> "THREE");
    map.computeIfAbsent("4", val -> null);

    System.out.println(map);
}

The output of this would be -
{1=ONE, 2=null, 3=THREE}

It is clear that the output does not contain the null values if added via computeIfAbsent method, while they are present if added by normal put method.

A: It may be worth just filtering the resulting map:
map.entrySet().stream()
   .filter(e -> e.getValue() != null)
   .collect(toMap(Entry::getKey, Entry::getValue))

however, the memory consumption and GC load are higher. So I would use this for the sake of readability if the map is small.

Q: Have multiple content views simultaneously? Alright, so the concept seems simple enough, but Have searched all over the web and have yet to find a solution. So I am making my first android game, woot. But I want to monetize it with ads. This is where the problem comes in. As I am Not using a layout for my game, but instead a GLSurfaceView, I cannot find anything about setting an ad over that. Every ad tutorial by google uses either a layout, or requires you to create a layout through java. The problem is, that those all still use a SurfaceView, not a GLSurfaceView. How can I implement an ad over the GLSurfaceView? I mean, most games, logically would be made using openGL, not canvas, so there would have to be a way, right?
Any suggestions will help. If you guys need to see some of the code, let me know, but it's pretty standard code from the glSurfaceView Tutorials.

A: According to this manual, you can test the code blow:
TextView textView = new TextView(this);
textView.setText("overlay!");
addContentView(textView, new ViewGroup.LayoutParams(ViewGroup.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, ViewGroup.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT));

Obviously, the code is in the Activity.

A: GLSurfaceView is just a SurfaceView with some code wrapped around it to manage threads and the EGL context.  They're not very different.
SurfaceView has two parts, the "surface" and the "view".  The view is part of the View hierarchy, and is generally just a transparent window used for the layout.  All of the View-based UI is drawn on a single layer.  GLES rendering is done on the surface part, which is a separate layer composited by the system.  By default, the surface layer sits behind the view layer, but you can configure that when the SurfaceView is created.
Since the Surface is behind the View, you can draw your ads with Views on top of your game without interfering with it.
You can find some examples in Grafika.  For example, the "record GL app" activity has UI elements (some text and radio buttons) on top of GLES animation.  It uses a relative layout and positions the UI elements on top of the SurfaceView.

A: So I did much researching and finally found a solution that works, thanks to fadden for getting me on the right track btw :)
mGLView = new MyGLSurfaceView(this);

    LinearLayout screenLayout = new LinearLayout(this);
    screenLayout.setOrientation(LinearLayout.VERTICAL);

    // Create a banner ad. The ad size and ad unit ID must be set before calling loadAd.
    adView = new AdView(this);
    adView.setAdSize(AdSize.SMART_BANNER);
    adView.setAdUnitId("/6499/example/banner");

    AdRequest.Builder adRequest= new AdRequest.Builder();
    adView.loadAd(adRequest.build());

    screenLayout.addView(adView);
    screenLayout.addView(mGLView);

    setContentView(screenLayout);


What is he going to say?
Well it appears that President Trump has decided on a strategy he wants our military to take in regards to Afghanistan. With this track record so far of letting the military make battlefield tactical decision, he has shown that he has more trust in the military decision making process than our last few Presidents. Considering that he has not taken their first or second recommendations and made them go back and try over and over again, also shows that he knows how to push them to get them to strategize outside of their comfort zone (and outside of the box).
Plan a withdrawal and tell the Afghan government its time to sink or swim for their people on their own.
Dedicate and Commit a large, overwhelming force and take the gloves off on the enemy. Find, Fix, Kill.
Continue some flavor of what we have been doing and keep half-stepping without allowing the military to do what it is meant to do and instead keeping them under-sourced and with both hands tied behind their backs.
Those are meant to be high-level options and I realize there are a lot more, refined actual options possible that could fall under one of those three. If there is anything else outside of those options, then I can't really think of it and I am eager to see what innovative idea our military leaders have. Either way, unlike all the agenda-pushing attacks and accusations that continually fly at our President, this prime-time speech could be one of the most decisive and Presidential decisions our Presidents has made in the last 7 months.
The U.S. Military has new people now intermingling at the highest level of government. Perhaps they can make a difference.
However, our, just prior, experience in Afghanistan revealed a shocking level of military incompetence at a leadership level. One thing that should be easily done is to restrict the European allies role to non-combatant status, except for elite units.
At the core of the problem is military incompetence and the imposition of unrealistic and self-defeating "rules of engagement.
Good luck, I hope for the best.

Q: How to loop entire led sequence? I am working on my first coding project (no prior coding experience). I have a WS2812B LED strip where I'd like to continuously cycle several LED patterns through.
If I only have the led pattern sequences, it will run everything once through and then get stuck in the last sequence (which I only want to run for 20 seconds).
I suspect I'm using too many while Trues or using them wrong. Is it the while True in this 3rd led sequence that is causing it to not start over?  I think I'm using the time = function wrong too.
I am using an adafruit trinket M0 and Mu to write, if that matters.
I tried putting everything within a while True: at the start. But the leds don't turn on at all if I do that.
While True:
1st led sequence code
2nd led sequence code
3rd led sequence code below
while True:
    if time = 20:
        break
testcol = (255, 255, 255)
ttype=type(testcol)
print(ttype)
#pixels[4] = (testcol)
pixels.show()

colors = {0:(255, 0, 0), 1:(255, 165, 0), 2:(255, 255, 0), 3:(0, 255, 0), 4:(0, 0, 255), 5:(0, 35, 200), 6:(255, 0, 255)}
ccount = len(colors)
#print (ccount)
#print(colors[2])

data = range(0,185)
chunks = [data[x:x+ccount] for x in range(0, len(data), ccount)]

for p in chunks:

    n = 0
    for subp in p:
        print ("this is chunks",p, "subpart", n,":",p[n], colors[n])
        wp = p[n]
        print ("this is wp:", wp)
        color = colors[n]
        print(color)
        pixels[wp] = (color)
        print(p)
        pixels.show()

        n = n+1

while True:
    t = random.randrange(1, 185)
    oc = pixels[t]
    pixels[t] = (174, 255, 0)  #Alitove String modification for GRB
    print("LED:", t, "has been twinkled")
    pixels.show()
    time.sleep(0.2)
    pixels[t] = (255, 255, 255)
    pixels.show()
    time.sleep(0.5)
    pixels[t] = oc
    pixels.show()

Running check in Mu returns syntax error on if time = 20: before 3rd led sequence.

McGregor Coxall was commissioned by Wollongong City Council to partner with the internationally renowned urban research company Gehl Architects to deliver the Wollongong Public Spaces and Public Life Study. The study was underpinned by place making and incremental urbanism, thus a key focus required the identification of small scale activation projects that would seed change in the city centre. Embracing this approach empowered the client to promote a flourishing city life by sympathetically framing the city around people's everyday activities. Importantly the study incorporated comprehensive engagement of council staff, local stakeholders and residents to captivate local opinion and empower the local community to put forward ideas. McGregor Coxall provided urban design expertise to map key strategic initiatives and also undertook delivery of several pilot activation projects which enabled the council to implement a meaningful Renewal Strategy that informs the future planning of the city and strengthens a data driven approach to delivery.

W3C compliance – is it a requirement?
A term often busied by web developers and also SEO agencies is W3C compliance. I've written about the benefits of W3C compliant code before, but my perspective has changed a bit over time and I feel it's important to point out that full W3C compliance is not a definitive requirement for an effective website.
W3C compliance basically means that the HTML and CSS code that a website is built with is fully compliant with the standards set by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C for short).
The W3C is an international standards organization, founded by the inventor of the web. They develop the standards on which the world wide web is run.
You'd think that making sure your website's code complies fully with these standards is pretty important. And it is, up to a certain point.
You can easily find out if your website's code is W3C compliant – simply submit your website URL to the W3C Validator tool and you'll get an overview of all the 'errors' in your code. And you'll almost certainly get a lot of 'errors'. It's very unlikely your website's code complies to all of the W3C's standards.
I say 'errors' because often they're not really errors. The W3C standards are extremely strict, with no room for interpretation. So every little niggle in your code, every small deviation from the W3C's strict standards, will generate an error in this validation tool.
W3C compliance for browsers
But most web browsers are flexible pieces of software that are built to deal with a wide range of different sorts of HTML and CSS code, and will probably render your website perfectly regardless of how many errors the validation tool shows.
Often web developers have to use shortcuts and non-compliant code to make something work in a particular way on a website, and while this results in validation errors it doesn't hinder a website's functionality at all. Quite the contrary, sometimes you have to break the rules of the W3C to get something to work exactly how you want it in every web browser.
W3C compliance for SEO
There is also the misconception that search engine crawlers require a website's code to be 100% W3C compliant, or else they will rank your site lower in the SERPs. A lot of SEO agencies recommend you make every webpage on your site fully W3C compliant.
This is often a costly endeavour, and quite unnecessary. Search engine crawlers, like browsers, are sturdy and flexible pieces of software that can index almost any type of code, regardless of the errors it contains.
For proper crawling and indexing, a search engine will need to be able to distinguish the different elements of a webpage – style, navigation, and content – and will need to be able to interpret the meaning of the content, which it does through analysing the content itself and the mark-up code that is used to style the content.
Clean, compliant HTML and CSS code help in this process. Compliant code makes it easier for search engine crawlers to identify what the content on a webpage is, and what that content means.
But 100% compliance, meaning zero errors in the W3C validation tool, is not only often hard to achieve (especially if your website has advanced functionality) but is unnecessary as well. The code just needs to be sufficiently well-structured and tidy enough for search engines to be able to distinguish style, navigation, and content.
So bad code is OK?
No, bad code is not OK. It's still a good idea to strive towards compliant code. A website with hundreds of W3C validation errors is not a good thing. It's likely that these errors cause the site to display differently in some web browsers (or worse, not work at all) and can cause all sorts of trouble for both users and search engines.
But if your website's code only shows a couple of handfuls of non-critical errors, especially if they're only small warnings, there really is little need to fix them.
For on-site optimisation your time and resources are better spent on making sure your website's title tags, content, and other factors are fully optimised.

The W3C compliance is a SEO factor. I had a client in Mexico that his Website's PHP code was terrible, We chaged everything, We built the Website from 0 but we kept the same Urls, same day we chaged the code, his visits jumped 500% and staed there. after I had some problem with one his manager and we stop working with them, after they changed back to the old code now they have very few visits.
This proves me that the clean code is a SEO factor.

@Rafael – Clean code, yes. As I say in the last few paragraphs, it's good to strive towards compliant code as it helps search engines with crawling & indexing.
But full 100% compliance is not an SEO requirement. Matt Cutts from Google has even come out and said that fully compliant code is not a ranking factor. As I say in my article, as long as the code is clean enough to distinguish style, navigation, and content, that's as far as is necessary from a purely SEO point of view.

Dutch SEO guru Yoast has written about his thoughts on the W3C compliance issue, and got some of his SEO friends to chime in as well. A worthwhile read:

Thank you so much for this insightful article! After the w3c checker battered me with red notifications that my website had not passed any of its tests – even though it only showed 9 seemingly small style problems – it was like a balm to my soul.
The site itself has been performing well but, in the interests of trying to toe the official line for my client, I have just spent two hours trying to eradicate the errors in other people's plugins and codes whilst retaining the feel of the page in Chrome and Firefox, only to discover that IE seemed to be using a code to which I clearly had no access since it certainly wasn't obeying any commands that I had given it :(
Add to that the disclaimer on the w3c site that it is 'not always reliable'!!!
I was so incensed at the waste of my time that I decided to write a post about w3c but, there in my notes which have accumulated on the subject over a period of some months, was a link to your post… resulting in the resuscitation of my sanity.

Hi Jo, glad my post could bring a wee bit of sanity to your Friday afternoon. :)

Great article. I always strive to ensure my websites are 100% validated to Transitional but i never really bother with Strict as I don't see any real benefit to this.
I agree its important to aim towards 100% but if I wanted something on a site which would cause the site to become invalid, I would try to find a work around but I certainly wouldn't lose any sleep over it!

Good points about perfect CSS & HTML not being necessary. However, learning how to code things cleanly and properly will actually reduce the time you spend doing coding. It's much easier to understand and can take up a lot less lines. My first website had a couple hundred errors (especially due to using table formatting of my site, instead of using CSS formatting). When I totally redid the site, I think I was able to get it down to zero errors. Not only was it a lot easier to make the site; also, if I want to make changes to styling, they're all controlled by one CSS page, so that saves a huge amount of time. But again, a bit of code like "-webkit-border-radius:13px;-moz-border-radius:13px;border-radius:13px;" in the CSS in order to ensure that you get cross-browser compatibility is a PLUS rather than a MINUS, even though it may show up as an "error."

HSE tenders for fire safety consultants
By Paul Mulholland | November 1, 2019 | 0
The HSE is looking to hire external experts to provide fire safety consultancy advice, this newspaper can report.
According to tender documents, the cost of the framework agreement over a four-year period is approximately €125,000.
"This national framework agreement is designed to support both the interim and longer term requirements of the HSE with regard to any future reconfigurations," according to the HSE.
Appointees to the framework will be invited to tender by means of a mini-competition and will be requested to meet service needs throughout the lifetime of the agreement, which will initially cover a two-year period.
It is envisaged that "a very substantial amount of the HSE's requirements" in terms of fire safety will be obtained through this framework agreement.
The four 'lots' to this framework agreement are: Leinster (lot 1); Ulster (lot 2); Connaught (lot 3); and Munster (lot 4).
The Medical Independent (MI) has previously reported how an external cladding system evaluation group was established by the HSE following the Grenfell tower fire in London and first met in July 2017.
The group identified that the cladding system to be investigated would be in buildings over six floors or 18 metres in height; and all other residential buildings.
Regarding the first category, surveys indicated that buildings of six floors or more or over 18 metres existed on only five acute hospital campuses – Cork University Hospital; University Hospital Limerick; Galway University Hospital; Sligo University Hospital; and Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital, Drogheda.
The HSE has stated that final fire safety reports have now been received on all locations except Galway, which is expected shortly.
"A programme of on-site testing will commence over the next few months," an Executive spokesperson told MI.

Chicago weddings, Xoco, and art!
Even after going through my hooding ceremony, I'm pretty sure I'll always be ready to learn something new! In that way, I'm totes going to live my life as a perpetual student.
This outfit was fully inspired by that idea. That, and I felt like working out a preppy, nerdy vibe. The glasses and the child's sweater definitely take this outfit a tad over the top. But that's what's fun about it. Nerdy, fun and comfortable. This was highly appropriate given that I spent the afternoon in a coffee shop working on some data analyses.
I know that the Every Body Every Wear theme is yellow today. And this outfit looks more green than yellow. But, hey! Look! That is a large swath of yellow there in the middle of the sweater. So I call it good!
* I'm now a pescetarian nerd. I decided to keep eating fish because I've been making and loving ceviche every week. Fresh rockfish from the farmer's market has been AMAZING! Does anyone have any awesome seafood or vegetarian recipes they'd like to share with me? Pretty please?!
* Ev and I celebrated 4 years of marriage last week!
* I gave blood and found out I have A+ blood type. The nerd in me was excited because it sounds like an awesome grade. My dad's response? "Not sure if I have A+ too but I think I have phi beta capillaries with Distinction." LOL. Now y'all know where I get my kooky humor.
* Budz had an oncology checkup and his ultrasound and x-rays came back clean (no cancer recurrence)! Woohoo!
Heya Lori! Wow, you make a great nerd...hehe. That apple green and yellow hoodie is sooooo cute. You are adorable. I love that moving image of you- so fun! I'd love to make one of those.
I love fish meals. One easy fish dish is to steam the fish, then top it with green onion shallot, the pour soy sauce and hot oil on it. May be too simple though!
Congrats to you and Ev on your 4 years of marriage!
You're adorable. I think that qualifies nicely as a yellow submission! I love that denim skirt too.
I always forget to ask about my bloodtype at the doctor! You'd think I'd know considering that I got stabbed with needles every thirty days when I was taking accutane a couple years ago. I think I'd be excited to be A+, too, though.
Your dad's comment was too funny!! It's great to hear Buddie's doing better.
I love ceviche! If my fiance had it his way, we'd be eating it everyday. But it would probably be pretty bad for us being that he's very fond shrimp ceviche.
I've been on seafood kick too! Its been one of my favorite things about moving recently to the northwest. Just got some great salmon from our farmer's market.
Anyway my current fav recipe is for shrimp (but sure you could sub in what sounded yummy). Followed recipe except added whatever fresh herbs were in fridge at time (thyme and basil) and added in a few handfuls of spinach in with the tomatoes... and reduced feta amount (like feta but a little strong for me sometimes) Add some crusty bread and wine and call it dinner :o) HTH!
That sweater is AMAZING! What a fabulous EBEW look! I love it!
Enter our giveaway for a $50 Visa Card!
Hi Lori! There is so much to love about this post. First of all, can I meet you dad? He sounds absolutely hilarious -- that is definitely my kind of humor.
And hooray for your pup's clean bill of health -- that is such great news!
This outfit is too adorable. I absolutely love it!!!
I'm thinking you look more like a Teacher. After all, students give the prettiest Teacher the Apple. The multi set of bracelets looks more student-ish though.
I would love to know how you did the magical photo. That is too cool for words Lori. It's probably a page of html I would never be able to decipher.
You really can't ask for better news about Budz. He's a fighter and is lucky to have a wonderful Human Mommy like you.
