This week, I am participating in Eboni's Style Me Friday Link Up featuring the pencil skirt. I've been planning what to wear all week and just a couple days ago, I picked out this cute top from work. It also comes in black but I chose white because it's more Spring-y. Leopard goes great with red so I paired it with this belted pencil skirt. I actually bought a bunch of pencil skirts recently for $6. How can you go wrong with that?!
And let me say how cute I am with red lipstick! Probably my favorite color to wear. By the way, I did NOT wear these heels. I wouldn't last 30 mins wearing these at work. Instead, I wore the black bow flats that I wore in my last post. But these looked cuter and they're sitting in my closet collecting dust.
Don't forget to follow me on Instagram for exclusive pics that aren't posted here!
Love it! You look hot.
Love this look! The red is very glam!
Love the combination. I've been searching for leopard print platforms for a while. Now i know where to look.
You look amazing,love the outfit!
I love this classy look! Red and leopard is always great together.

Tommy Fury opens up about 'one of the hardest things I've ever done in my life'
The Love Island runner-up and his co-star Curtis Pritchard have swapped professions – boxing and dancing – for a new ITV2 series.
Tommy Fury says ballroom dancing like 'learning another language' (Ian West/PA)
By Lucy Mapstone, PA Deputy Entertainment Editor
December 9 2019 17:32 PM
Tommy Fury has compared mastering ballroom dancing to learning to speak a foreign language, saying that it is "one of the hardest things I've ever done in my life".
https://www.independent.ie/entertainment/tommy-fury-opens-up-about-one-of-the-hardest-things-ive-ever-done-in-my-life-38769678.html
https://www.independent.ie/incoming/708c2/38769674.ece/AUTOCROP/h342/ipanews_c2bf7f42-39a3-4fb2-af7b-82fa502e0d9d_1
The boxer and his Love Island co-star Curtis Pritchard, a dancer, swap jobs in their new TV series, set to air on ITV2 next week.
Called The Boxer And The Ballroom Dancer, the three-part series will see Fury try professional dancing while Pritchard takes to the boxing ring.
1 week to go until my show with @tommytntfury 'The Boxer and The Ballroom Dancer' is on @itv2 ! I cannot wait for you to all see mine and Tommy's journeys, me training to take part in a professional boxing match and Tommy learning to be a competing ballroom dancer!
A post shared by Curtis Pritchard (@curtispritchard12) on Dec 9, 2019 at 4:27am PST
Fury, the younger brother of former IBF, WBA and WBO heavyweight champion Tyson Fury, said that learning to twirl, waltz and foxtrot on the dance floor was one of the most difficult things he has ever done.
He said: "Ballroom dancing is very different to what I do in my profession as a boxer, but it's been a lot of fun.
"I didn't realise how much time and effort you have to put into it, and the skill you need. Dancing is something where you only get out what you put in. It's super hard, I've only realised that now from doing it."
He added: "For me, it was like learning to speak another language. I didn't have a clue! I didn't know where to start or where to finish. I really had to knuckle down and take my time to learn it."
Not long now until you see me in the ring !!!!! ��
Pritchard – the brother of Strictly Come Dancing's AJ Pritchard – previously appeared as a professional dancer on Dancing With The Stars, Ireland's version of the dancing show.
He said that learning to become a boxer has been "absolutely incredible", although it has been challenging.
Pritchard said that "getting punched" is the easiest part of the sport, adding: "Once you realise that you're not made of glass, it's not even for a split second, it happens and then you're back on.
"I then started to let go in the sparring and not be afraid."
However, Pritchard revealed that he has sustained some injuries along the way.
Myself and the big man �� @prideofbritain What a night ..... I felt honoured to spend it with all of the award winners. All I can say is there was alot of true super heroes in that room last night.
A post shared by Curtis Pritchard (@curtispritchard12) on Oct 29, 2019 at 2:21am PDT
"I injured my shoulder and my knuckles were completely swollen," he said. "Apart from that, my nose has been bruised!
"I've got pantomime four days after the fight so hopefully that doesn't happen again on the night of the fight."
The duo have been supported along the way for the show by Fury's girlfriend Molly-Mae Hague and Pritchard's girlfriend Maura Higgins, their partners from this year's Love Island.
The pair, who became close friends while in Love Island's villa this year, follow in the footsteps of previous contestants who went on to score their own TV programmes for the channel, including 2017 islanders Chris Hughes and Kem Cetinay.
The Boxer and the Ballroom Dancer airs on ITV2 at 9pm from December 16-18.

Q: Using internetexplorer object what is the correct way to wait for an ajax response? I tried to upload a file to a sharepoint library, my code fails to properly detect  if ie is still waiting for an ajax response or not. What is the proper way to do this ?
[void] [System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("'Microsoft.VisualBasic")
[void] [System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("'System.Windows.Forms")

function wait4IE($ie=$global:ie){
    while ($ie.busy -or $ie.readystate -lt 4){start-sleep -milliseconds 200}
}

$global:ie=new-object -com "internetexplorer.application"
$ie.visible=$true
[Microsoft.VisualBasic.Interaction]::AppActivate("internet explorer")

# open EDM
$ie.navigate("https://xxx.sharepoint.com/sites/site1/Forms/AllItems.aspx")
wait4IE

# click on  the button to display the form
$ie.Document.getElementById("QCB1_Button2").click()

wait4IE

the rest of the code is executed, but the uploading form is not shown yet.
How to wait for the display of the form  ?
I also tried this (should wait untill a button of the upload form is not find), but it never ends ...
while( $ie.document.getElementById("ctl00_PlaceHolderMain_UploadDocumentSection_ctl05_InputFile") -eq $null){
        echo "waiting ..."
        wait4IE
}

Update :
I think I've found the problem : the form is open in an iframe :
<iframe id="DlgFrame0be35d71-22cb-47bd-bbf0-44c97db61fd6" class="ms-dlgFrame" src="https://.../Upload.aspx?List={45085FA0-3AE3-4410-88AD-3E80A218FC0C}&RootFolder=&IsDlg=1" frameborder="0" style="width: 592px; height: 335px;"></iframe>

But now, How to get the good frame number ?
PS>($ie.Document.frames.Item(4).document.body.getElementsbytagname("input") |?{$_.type -eq 'file'}).id
ctl00_PlaceHolderMain_UploadDocumentSection_ctl05_InputFile

moreover it seems i can access the frame content with getElementsByTagName, but not with getElementById ....?I still don't understand why .:
PS>$ie.Document.frames.Item(4).document.body.getElementById('ctl00_PlaceHolderMain_UploadDocumentSection_ctl05_InputFile
    ')
    Échec lors de l'appel de la méthode, car [System.__ComObject] ne contient pas de méthode nommée « getElementById ».
    Au caractère Ligne:1 : 1
    + $ie.Document.frames.Item(4).document.body.getElementById('ctl00_PlaceHolderMain_ ...
    + ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
        + CategoryInfo          : InvalidOperation : (getElementById:String) [], RuntimeException
        + FullyQualifiedErrorId : MethodNotFound

A: ok here is how I've done :
the trick was to look each iframes, select the one with the correct location
for($i=0;$i -lt $ie.Document.frames.length;$i++){
            if( $ie.Document.frames.item($i).location.href -match 'upload.aspx' ){ $frm=$ie.Document.frames.item($i)}
    }

then wait for my input to show
while( ($frm.document.body.getElementsbytagname("input") |?{$_.type -eq 'file'}) -eq $null){
    echo "waiting ..."
    start-sleep -milliseconds 100
}

I never thought I would have to answer this. It's pretty hard to swallow when two teams have worked really hard to reach this point. It's what it is, the rules were there at the start, no one thought it would come down to this. It's a pretty hard loss to swallow. The rules are there.

Mad Catz Lynx 9 mobile gaming controller is as cool (and complex) as the Batcycle (hands-on)
Mike Lowe · 20 March 2015
1/11 Pocket-lint
10 best gaming gifts 2020
At first glance you might think you're looking at a maquette of the Batcycle. Or, based on another picture, maybe the Batarang. But, no, this is the Mad Catz Lynx 9, a mobile gaming controller that can cater for phones, phablets, tablets and pretty much any other gaming smart device that you may own. And it's awesome.
If, that is, you're serious about your mobile gaming. Because, elephant in the room moment, it costs £250 (or $299 for our American friends). It sure ain't cheap, but it's among the best-built controllers we've ever handled.
In its pocketable form the Lynx 9 comes as a compact little controller, ready to be tugged and pulled into its operational form. The top section, which folds back to cradle devices with screens up to 7-inches in size, can be unscrewed and removed if you want to use it as a separate Bluetooth controller.
Two metal wings unfold to create a comfortable hold, with two inner handles that can be screwed into place for extra grip, followed by the analogue thumbsticks which pull down into the correct position. It all feels super-premium - it's just a shame those extra inner handles aren't attached to the compacted controller and need to be carried separately. There is a carry case included, though, but it wasn't available at our preview session.
If Android is your gaming mecca then the Lynx 9 is the perfect partner - whether you game on tablet, phone, or both. We played Grand Theft Auto III via Android tablet - which is where the Batarang-like backplate come into play, making for a Wii U-sized controller, screen and all - and found the immediacy of response from the Bluetooth connection to be spot on. Bluetooth-capable PCs can also benefit, making for an ideal Steam controller.
We're used to the PlayStation 4 controller and the Mad Catz felt just right in terms of scale and comfort, it's of a very similar scale overall. That cool-to-touch metal finish feels great and ought to mean rugged longevity even when carting the Lynx 9 around on trains, planes and automobiles.
Going one step further than just basic console-like buttons, to the top the Lynx 9 is a cursor and two clickable buttons to mimic mouse-like operation. There's even a clip-in QWERTY keyboard included for heck's sake. Altogether ideal for interacting with Amazon Fire TV and similar; something further aided by the small microphone to the base of the device for voice-control, where applicable.
Keeping everything running is a rechargeable li-ion battery, tucked away in the back, which can be charged after depleting. It's said to give a full 20-hours of play time, which is more than any given tablet battery life is going to manage.
We've seen a lot of puny mobile gaming controllers and the Mad Catz Lynx 9 smashes them to smithereens. But we'd expect nothing less for £250.

As the Western Design Conference Exhibit + Sale (WDC Exhibit + Sale) celebrates its 26th anniversary this year, more than 130 top functional artists will be selected by an expert jury for participation in the four-day preeminent exhibition of the finest Western design in the world.

The deadline to apply for this year's Western Design Conference Exhibit + Sale is April 1, 2017, with annual prizes totaling more than $19,000 awarded to artists recognized for top work in specific categories. The jury's selection is limited; accepted artists will be announced April 5.
A marquee event of the Jackson Hole Fall Arts Festival and an extraordinary platform for artists to showcase Western-inspired furnishings, home décor, fashion, jewelry and accessories at the highest levels of contemporary craft, the Western Design Conference Exhibit + Sale has been featuring best-of-the-West artisans for 25 years.

If you find that you are getting unwanted tastes and odours in your drinking water then the simplest way to eradicate this is by fitting a water filter.
A traditional style of filter provides 2 stage filtration. They have a 5 micron filter, which will remove sand, algae, rust and suspended solids from your water and also incorporates an activated charcoal core which has anti-microbial and antiseptic properties to remove unwanted tastes and smells from your drinking water. They can be simply installed in the water line from your fresh water tank and can be serviced with ease every year. It is always a good idea to drain the bowl when leaving any water filter over the winter to prevent the case from cracking.
Other water filters are available that use carbon to inhibit bacterial growth and remove tastes and smells but offer no other filtration properties, these too can be simply installed in the water line and can be serviced with no mess as the filter head has built in valves which isolate the water system whilst the element is being changed.
Another option is an inline type filter which is simply plumbed in to the hose underneath the tap and this will remove the taste and smells from the water, however this is just for removing the unwanted tastes and smells, it will not give filtration properties. These are the least expensive filter but the whole unit must be disposed of at the end of the boating season and cannot be recharged or reused. The traditional filter is more expensive initially, however the spare elements are less expensive than the complete throw away units and they filter water as well as removing the unwanted tastes and smells.
All water filters should be changed at least once every season.
Activated carbon is purified carbon (usually nutshells, coconut husk, peat or wood) that has been heated to up to 900 degree Celsius, which creates a network of small, low volume pores thereby increasing the surface area which can then absorb and remove the unwanted odours and tastes from water.
To discuss having a water filter fitted to your system please CONTACT US and ask to speak to Spencer who will advise you on your best course of action.

Student/Alumni Personal Papers
UA1B2/1 Big Red's Buddies
This paper was created in conjunction with others for History & the Internet class in the spring of 2004. They constituted a website which has been deleted from the Internet. Below is the introduction to the website.
Western Kentucky University began its affiliation with the state of Kentucky in 1906 upon receiving a state charter and funding to become the Southern Normal School. From a humble beginning as a teacher's college of less than 1,000 students, mostly drawn from the surrounding region, WKU has expanded to more than 16,000 students from across the United States and around the globe.
To get to where Western is today, the university has undergone a series of changes and mergers. In the early days, it drew its students from an all-boy's school and a girl's preparatory school. Throughout the years, its landscape has changed and stretched across Vinegar Hill in Bowling Green, Kentucky. Western's student body has become more diverse in its composition and interests. Furthermore Western, its students, and its coaches, have carried on and expanded upon a long, storied Hilltopper tradition of excellence in athletics.
The aim of the students in Dr. Andrew McMichael's History and the Internet Class of Spring 2004 was to tell the story of how this University grew from little more than a high school to become the respected institution of higher learning that it is today. We wanted to tell that story to you: our fellow students, alumni, faculty, staff, and supporters of this institution. As we researched we learned about WKU's heritage, both the good and the bad. We came to understand our roots and to accept them as our own.
Powerpoint presentation regarding the history of WKU athletics, research methodologies and sources used.

Home News Rwanda Kagame's Global Spying And Deaths Of His Critics Exposed By Financial Times
Kagame's Global Spying And Deaths Of His Critics Exposed By Financial Times
The Financial Times has busted General Paul Kagame's deadly spying network that often leads to death of his critics. As The Financial Times explains:
"In the two decades since Paul Kagame became president of Rwanda, dozens of dissidents have disappeared or died in unexplained circumstances around the world."
The newspaper digs deeper to show how Kagame has turned to sophisticated technologies to track his opponents. It turns out Kagame is using, in particular, Israeli technologies to target his critics – especially those using WhatsApp:
"Powered by a technology built not in Rwanda but in Israel, the calls were a harbinger of Pegasus, an all-seeing spyware so powerful that the Israeli government classifies it as a weapon. Developed and sold by the Herzlia-based NSO Group, which is part-owned by a UK-based private equity group called Novalpina Capital, Pegasus was designed to worm its way into phones…start transmitting the owner's location, their encrypted chats, travel plans – and even the voices of people the owners met – to servers around the world."
The Financial Times also indicates how WhatsApp fought back:
"In recent days, the University of Toronto's Citizen Lab, which studies digital surveillance around the world and is working in partnership with WhatsApp, started to notify journalists, human rights activists and other members of civil society…whose phones had been targeted using the spyware. It also provided help to defend themselves in the future."
Kagame is busted once again. For more details, read The Financial Times'"Inside WhatsApp hack: how an Israeli technology was used to spy: Countries from Rwanda to Saudi Arabia accused of spying on dissidents and journalists." This first rate analysis is authored by Mehul Srivastava in Tel Aviv and Tom Wilson in Nairobi.

Baaghi Episode 16 Review – Kanwal, the bechari!
Tonight's episode of Baaghi yet again showed how Kanwal Baloch continued to find ways to become a "star" but failed to do so. Basically, the viewers are being shown that Kanwal is living two completely different lives, she has 'real' struggles to deal with while she isn't faking a different personality when she is on social media. She is not being allowed to listen to her son's voice even and she is not getting the kind of work she wants. So far, the attention she is getting is negative, something she doesn't like since she is still looking for acceptance. Like every other episode of Baaghi, this one too had plenty of scenes which could have been chopped down. There is no denying the fact that Saba Qamar is an amazing actress but making her copy Qandeel Baloch to an extent that some of the scenes actually look like a parody wasn't a wise decision! Sitting through these scenes was tough since there wasn't anything even remotely likeable about this side of Kanwal's personality. This was the first episode in which the writer (reluctantly) showed Kanwal resorting to shortcuts for getting attention but it was primarily due to the advices her friend gave her which once again exempted Kanwal Baloch of all responsibility!
One of the many reasons why I find it really hard to connect to this character is that although this woman left her house and has been on her own for so long yet she has always been shown as an innocent and naive individual who has no idea what the consequences of her actions would be. Kanwal could have been shown as a street smart woman who planned these things on her own. I have always felt that in an attempt to make people around her responsible for whatever she has done since day one the writer has failed to give Kanwal a definite personality. Also, there has been absolutely no character development so far – when will this baghawat start? Although Kanwal has a more modern outlook now but she isn't half as strong as she was when she was Fauzia Batool. The dialogues and conversation about people being hypocrites was another attempt to make Kanwal Baloch look like a dhood ki dhuli hui bechari aurat – a portrayal which very often clashes with everything Kanwal has done so far! I find it really hard to see her as someone who is struggling to earn a living.
Abid's character unfortunately is just as one-dimensional as that of Kanwal and his scenes are highly repetitive. This episode followed the same pattern as the previous episode, most of the episode was dedicated to Kanwal, a scene which showed Abid showing his true colors, another scene in which Kanwal's brother was smoking and one which showed how Kanwal's family was struggling financially. The scenes covering Kanwal's facebook videos were painfully long and didn't add much to the story. So far this drama also promotes the ultimate cliché that there are hardly any good men in the world!! Will Osman Khalid Butt's character be the first positive male character in the drama? I sure do hope so! At this point I am sick and tired of watching Kanwal's weirdness as well as her rona dhona! She was a bechari as Fauzia and now she an even bigger bechari as Kanwal!
How many of you watched this episode? Don't forget to share your thoughts about it.
Baaghi Episode 16


Pain isn't fun, but it makes me feel alive.
Most days I feel more like 27 than 47, but when bicep tendonitis and an impingement cramped my workout style, I got a taste of the over-the-hill version of mobility — and it tasted bitter.
At first I ignored the aching sensation, telling myself that it was just a cramp. I had lifted weights for years and had never sustained a sports injury. I was in denial that the pain could be an indication of a more severe problem.
Eventually, activities I once enjoyed became painful reminders of my handicap. My arm sounded like the Rice Krispy brothers were having a snap-crackle-pop sort of party on it with the simplest of tasks — reaching to get a mug from the cupboard, swiping a dishcloth across the counter, curling my hair.
So, I stretched my shoulder, hoping to alleviate the pain. I rubbed Arnica gel on it — had deep tissue massage. I laid off the bench-pressing and the pullups, but after weeks of self-employed therapy, the cereal band's ensemble on my shoulder had progressed to what sounded like an entire Boy Scout Troop snapping twigs. Finally, I indulged in a cortisone shot that also contained a pain reliever and oh, the bliss of being numb!
When I was released by the doctor to resume a light workout weeks later, my entire arm was sore, stiff and worst of all, weak. I could only bench three fourths of the weight I had been. My ego definitely took more of a battering than my shoulder did.
Instead of unrolling my mat in the front row at yoga, I headed to the back so I could modify my postures and grimace without the others in class noticing. I extended my arms as high as I could reach. I delved toward the mat in push-up formation. I braced myself in downward dog. I forced myself through the tightness while obeying an agreement I had with my body — if a pose brought tears, I'd stop. The last thing I wanted was to reinjure my shoulder and end up getting another shot to numb the pain.
The more I moved and lubricated the joint, the better my shoulder felt. I attributed this to the steroid because before the shot I'd been making the same motions, but the pain had gotten worse instead of better. I was thankful for the shot's healing component, but normally I avoid being numb.
Feeling the physical sensations in my body is an aspect of my humanness that I like to foster, but embracing life often means embracing the pain that accompanies it. Sometimes the pain is in my shoulder, but more often than not, it's in the form of hurt feelings, disappointments or misunderstandings between me and someone else.
There are many substances that can numb the mind so that relationship struggles are, at least for a speck of time, forgotten. But just like my shoulder, wounds that are ignored and denied get more painful and stiff until, eventually, rigamortis sets in.
Keeping this in mind, I do feel that sometimes a short numbing period is needed to reflect and to heal. The numbness in my shoulder gave me a bit of a relief before diving into a restorative workout routine, regenerating my stiff joints and revitalizing my attitude, but I won't make a habit of getting injections. Living life numb is like watching a black and white version of the sunset, and why would I want to do that when I can feel the fabric of every color of the rainbow — when I can sip on the sweet nectar from a natural endorphin rush.
So, I will continue to gobble up all the joy I can as I work through physical aches and relationship pains. I'll hum through the rainforests, mud splashing my legs, sweat dripping over my eyelids — lubricating the joy in my soul and the joints near my bones.

Oilfield services giant Schlumberger invests in crude production to beat out rivals
By investing in its customer projects, Schlumberger does not have to bid for work, all but excludes competition
Schlumberger NV, the world's largest oilfield services company is spending billions of dollars to invest in its customers' oil and gas projects.
The arrangement means the company will have a say in drilling decisions, oilfield management and hiring of Schlumberger units for service contracts, the company has told investors.
By working with and investing in its customers projects, Schlumberger does not have to bid for each job associated with a large drilling project and all but excludes its rivals from projects.
The new model could vastly improve profits, but will also boost the company's exposure to the volatile oil market and could mean potentially big losses if projects fail. Some analysts are wondering if Schlumberger is taking on too many speculative projects too quickly.
"Schlumberger has been actively participating in these partnerships for a while. It makes a lot of sense given they actively drill and complete all across the country for many operators…so if anyone can get in and be successful as an exploration and production company, it's them," Bernadette Johnson, VP of market intelligence for Drillinginfo, said in an email.
So far, the company has taken hundreds of millions of dollars in write-downs or impairments on some of its joint ventures, according to its financial filings. But, despite the setbacks, the firm has committed money to growing the division, known as Schlumberger Production Management, which was launched in 2011.
The division generated $1.4 billion in revenue and had invested $2.6 billion as of June 30, according to Schlumberger Executive VP Patrick Schorn earlier this summer.
For 2016, Schlumberger's total oil and gas output reached about 230,000 barrels per day (b/d), almost equal to that of Pioneer Natural Resources.
In 2017, the firm opened a standalone investment fund to provide financing for its ventures. The company has not disclosed the size of the fund. According to Reuters, ventures of this type require skills and tolerance for risk that is usually associated with large integrated oil companies, including Chevron and Exxon.
Two such projects include a deepwater LNG project off the coast of Equatorial Guinea and a shale development in Argentina with the country's oil company YPF SA.
As well, in June, Schlumberger agreed to invest $700 million in an oil exploration project with Nigerian National Petroleum Corp and First Exploration & Production. Reuters reports for the project to be make a 20 per cent profit, it requires global oil prices to be between $50 to $60 per barrel.
The company's $390 million investment for a 49 per cent stake in a project in Argentina's Vaca Muerta shale field with YPF could see the company competing with its customers. Chevron and Royal Dutch Shell are interested in the project.
Johnson says the market is particularly interested in Schlumberger's joint-venture activity because the compahy pulled the trigger on several large deals right in a row.
"On one side, there are concerns that Schlumberger is not the go-to company on some of the highly technical aspects of drilling (like Seismic), but on the other hand, there are comments from SM Energy (and others) in the US that point to their Schlumberger Pads as being the best," she said.
COMPETING WITH CUSTOMERS
As Schlumberger's production business has grown, it has negotiated deals that include equity in oil and gas fields and as well as deals that give the firm payment based on oil and gas output, according to interviews with customers, partners, investors and former Schlumberger executives.
Schlumberger this year agreed to contribute $390 million for a 49 percent stake in a venture with YPF in Argentina's Vaca Muerta shale field, which has attracted international oil firms including Chevron and Royal Dutch Shell.
Schlumberger Chief Executive Paal Kibsgaard has downplayed the potential for its production business to compete with its own oil company customers.
He described the enterprise as "a new avenue for project investments alongside our customers" in remarks to investors in April.
Schorn also insisted this spring that the business is "not significantly changing the risk profile … the biggest risk remains the cyclical nature" of the oil and gas industry.

Family Violence Fuelling Homelessness
Tuesday, 25th November 2014 at 11:01 am
Xavier Smerdon
Family violence forced more than 18,000 women into homelessness last year alone, according to peak body, the Council to Homeless Persons.
Tuesday, 25th November 2014
As part of White Ribbon Day the organisation called for more "rapid rehousing" programs to stop the trend of women escaping family violence into homeless.
CHP CEO Jenny Smith said last year more than 18,000 women presented at homelessness services in Victoria with family violence the main cause of their homelessness; representing more than a quarter of all clients.
"Family violence is the number one driver of homelessness because there are so few safe, affordable accommodation options for women who flee their home," Smith said.
"An incredibly tight private rental market combined with an 11-month wait for public housing means that too many women end up in rooming houses, motels or sleeping in the back of their cars."
CHP is proposing an investment of $118 million over four years in rapid rehousing programs that help people who are staying in temporary and crisis accommodation. The programs provide support, rent bonds and short-term rent subsidies.
"The investment we're calling for would help over 5,000 people a year to get back into housing fast, preventing the lasting impacts of homelessness," Smith said.
"We've seen a welcome focus on family violence this election, and now we want to see real efforts to tackle the lack of affordable housing as part of a big picture solution.
"It takes enormous strength to leave family violence, but when you know your only option is a rooming house, motel or crisis bed, it makes that decision even harder."
Smith said less than three out of every 100 rentals in Melbourne would be affordable for a mother on single parenting payments, and the most recent public housing waiting list shows 34,600 people are waiting for public housing.

PLAYERS DELIVER SEASON TICKETS TO LUCKY YOUNGSTERS
Some local youngsters were given a big surprise this afternoon when Stevenage FC players turned up on their doorsteps to deliver season tickets!
For the fourth successive year a number of Boro players took time out after training to visit some of our youngest season ticket holders and the smiles on the children's faces were as big as ever this year.
Fraser Franks, Ryan Johnson and Dipo Akinyemi popped in to say hello to a stunned trio of brothers, Ben (8), Jack (8) and Charlie (5). The energetic youngsters quickly challenged their somewhat older guests to a game of 3-on-3 in the back garden and proved too hot to handle for their visitors, winning the 'first to 5 goals' competition. They then added insult to injury by beating Fraser, Ryan and Dipo in a penalty shoot-out!
🎥 | Ben (8), Jack (8) & Charlie (5) took on @Fraserfranks, @ryjohnson27 & @Dipo_Akinyemi in a 3 on 3. Guess who won👀 pic.twitter.com/gL4dnvNJs9
— StevenageFC Official (@StevenageFC) July 18, 2016
Meanwhile Chris Day knocked on the door of 11-year old William (below) and delivered his East Terrace season ticket and that of older brother Lewis. Both have renewed their place on the terrace for what promises to be another exciting season.
Season tickets at Stevenage FC are still available with our Under-12 season ticket for £25 (seated* or standing) once again proving extremely popular. That makes it just over £1 a game for 23 home fixtures at The Lamex Stadium. That's right, all the goals, all the action and all the entertainment for just £25!
Our Under 16, Under 19 and Under 22 season ticket categories also remain, ensuring fans of all young ages can be part of what promises to be an exciting 2016/17 under Darren Sarll. What's more, any existing Under 12 season ticket holders progressing into the Under 16 season ticket band will receive 50% off their new season ticket price:
Normal U16 price: £145 (West Stand) or £99 (East or North Terrace)
You pay only: £72.50 (West Stand) or £49.50 (East or North Terrace)
* Please note any Under 12 season tickets in the West Stand must be purchased with an accompanying adult (Under 19, Under 22, Adult or Concession).

Where I Lead
Chase Strickland
Chase Strickland was ranked as the top ROTC cadet in the nation during his senior year at UNG.
"It was the product of four years of hard work, but it was not an achievement that I set out to accomplish. My goals at UNG were to succeed academically and seek leadership development through the Corps of Cadets," Strickland said. "I feel that I accomplished those goals, so being recognized as the No. 1 cadet in the nation was the icing on the cake."
He graduated in May 2015 with a bachelor's degree in international relations with a Middle East concentration.
Strickland graduated summa cum laude with a 4.0 GPA and as a Distinguished Military Graduate. He also participated in corps leadership and on the Ranger Challenge team, which won the Bold Leader Challenge at Fort Knox, Kentucky, in fall 2014 and placed second among ROTC teams at the prestigious Sandhurst Military Skills Competition held in April 2015 at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point.
While attending UNG, he also served in the Georgia Army National Guard.
During his senior year, he had the chance to study abroad in Rome, Italy, at the NATOC Defense War College.
He branched military intelligence and elected to branch detail in infantry.
"I am thankful for the guidance I have received from family and friends, my academic adviser, and professors," Strickland said. "Also, I am thankful for the guidance and professional development that I have received from other military professionals in the Georgia Army National Guard and at UNG."

Human Colonies – "Demo EP"
Human Colonies, a four-piece out of Bologna, Italy, have a sound that's a healthy mix of shoegaze and dream-pop. Their Demo EP manages to showcase a few different influences over just four songs and fourteen minutes in what's a promising debut. The band consists of Giuseppe Mazzoni on guitar and vocals, Roman Dagner on guitar, Davide Hare on drums and Sara Telesca on bass.
The EP's first track, Sunshine Jesus, actually starts with a more traditional rock beat, courtesy of the rhythm section. The vocals are buried under a wall of fuzz in a typical shoegaze sound. But, with the driving beat and the short 2:21 length, it comes off as a unique, shoegaze/pop-punk hybrid track. Follow-up "Hey You" has a much slower tempo, with vocals just as distant. The song feels a little too restrained, although it opens up to a full band feeling in the last minute. The third song, "Falling Deeper," might be the best of the four, taking on a more rigid, post-rock sound. It's a tense song, and almost totally devoid of lyrics. The band instead really explores the space while confining themselves to a repetitive rhythm. The song hovers much closer to post-hardcore than to shoegaze. Finally, "Cross" is the most shoegaze-resembling song on the EP. It's a very slow song that makes use of the non-stop guitars to build a relentless wall of sound. It's a little draining, in the way shoegaze should be.
The band has a surprisingly polished sound, for a young band. They probably benefit from having an intentionally fuzzy and distorted sound, but the production sounds better than expected. Throughout the EP, they really explore their surroundings, bringing together a bunch of hyphenated sub-genres into a good listen. Because each song focuses in a bit of a different direction than the previous one, the flow between tracks is a little jaunting. Luckily each song engages quickly so it really isn't a major issue. All in all, it's a great demo, and one I'd recommend.
You can find the EP on the band's bandcamp and soundcloud pages, and you can find them on Facebook.
If you like this, try: Pity Sex's "Feast of Love." They can get a little repetitive, but it's another shoegaze crossover album.

Q: Pig - JsonMetadata - Could not find schema file There has been a major lag time when Pig evaluates LOAD statements on certain versions of pig.
Upon switching versions of Pig (during a cluster upgrade), Pig's Grunt (and via file script as well) took 30+ seconds on each LOAD statement. This was in stark contrast to the usual <1 second needed to process each LOAD statement. Pig's debug showed the LOAD statement was evaluated in about the same manner between different versions, but what differed was especially interesting.
In Version 0.9.2 (w/ Java 8), the LOAD statement was processed in <1 second. However in Version 0.11.1 and 0.12.0, the load statement was processed in 30+ seconds with the main line differing being this one:
[main] DEBUG org.apache.pig.builtin.JsonMetadata - Could not find schema file for /logs/visits/*/*visits_v15*.lzo

That debug message was not displayed until the command finished being processed which leads me to suspect the loading of the schema data is what's hanging up the entire process. The LOAD statement completes in <1 second on 0.11.1 and 0.12.0 when I specify an exact file, but still shows the warning:
[main] DEBUG org.apache.pig.builtin.JsonMetadata - Could not find schema file for /logs/visits/2014-08-01/2014-08-01-23-45-07.PDT.visits_v15.server.log.lzo

Example Pig Script:
SET debug 'on';
REGISTER s3://path/to/elephant-bird.jar;
v15_data = LOAD '/logs/visits/2014-08-01/2014-08-01-23-45-07.PDT.visits_v15.server.log.lzo';

It doesn't matter if I use Elephant Bird or not as the same debug message comes up and the performance characteristics are the same.
There are ~60 columns in each file and there are thousands of files written per day. Oddly, running the same style script above with just a "DUMP v15_data;" often gives a failed job with this style of error:
java.io.IOException: Deserialization error: invalid stream header:

Pig Versions tested:
0.11.1
0.12.0
0.13.0 - I believe I tested this one previously, but not as thoroughly as 0.11.1 or 0.12.0

A: After struggling with this issue for a while, I found a solution was to use the "-noschema" flag. So USING PigStorage('-noschema')

EUROGLIDERS
The EUROGLIDERS story begins in 1981, in Perth, Australia……the most isolated city in the world.
Within a decade of forming, EUROGLIDERS had recorded four albums, enjoyed a multitude of chart topping singles and been awarded a swag of awards from around the globe, for both music and video. But EUROGLIDERS truly began as a love story between a songwriter and a singer, both of whom had their own bands.
Today, some 25 years later, the relationship between that singer and that songwriter may have changed but the love of performing and their long enduring friendship continues every night on stage.
Grace Knight and Bernie Lynch met in Perth. Grace was lead singer for a band named 'Lumiere'; and Bernie, lead singer for 'Living Single'.
They met, fell in love and Grace took over the lead singing role for 'Living Single'. They changed their name to EUROGLIDERS and suddenly everything changed……..their lives would never be the same.
The songs that Bernie wrote now took on a life of their own in Grace's hands. Crowds doubled, then tripled, recordings were made, played on radio and record companies arrived at the sleepy, sun drenched hamlet of Perth with cheque books in hand, ready to sign the act.
Songs like 'Heaven', 'We Will Together', 'Can't Wait To See You', 'Absolutely' and 'The City of Soul' became the songs of a young Australian generation. Life was a long dizzying ride to the top of the charts and ten Top Ten charting singles and albums were the result.
The next decade saw EUROGLIDERS travel the world, charting in countries like Japan and America. 'Heaven' was a top five hit on the Billboard USA charts and the band won numerous Countdown and MTV awards. A darling of MTV, EUROGLIDERS performed 'live' on MTV's New Year's Eve party in New York, broadcast to over 65 million people.
Grace Knight and Bernie Lynch may not be married anymore but their love for each other and the smiling warmth seen on stage every night are a shining example of the sheer joy that only music can provide.

Deluxe edition back in paperback! The life story of the last known Indian to have emerged (in 1911) from the California "wilderness," written by the wife of the anthropologist who cared for him until his untimely death in 1916.
Endlich den Mann und den Ort gefunden zu haben, an die sie ihr Herz verlieren könnte, klingt wundervoll. Als Aiden in ihre Wirklichkeit tritt, scheint endlich auch Aislyn mal Glück zu haben. Aiden zeigt ihr ein Zuhause fernab der Menschen. Doch in der Welt der Mythen und Magie ist nicht alles nur hell und schön. Die dunkle Göttin Saeretia gelangt durch die Hilfe ihrer Anhänger wieder zu mehr Macht und droht, sich aus ihrem Gefängnis zu befreien. Sollte das geschehen, ist nicht nur Aidens Heimat in Gefahr, sondern auch die Menschenwelt. Als wäre dies nicht schon schlimm genug, gelangt auch noch Aislyn in die Fänge der dunklen Göttin. Kann Aiden sie befreien und gleichzeitig verhindern, dass Saeretia alles vernichtet?
The Egyptological literature usually belittles or ignores the political and intellectual initiative and success of the Nubian Twenty-Fifth Dynasty in the reunification of Egypt, while students of Nubian history frequently ignore or misunderstand the impact of Egyptian ideas on the cultural developments in pre- and post-Twenty-Fifth-Dynasty Nubia. This book re-assesses the textual and archaeological evidence concerning the interaction between Egypt and the polities emerging in Upper Nubia between the Late Neolithic period and 500 AD. The investigation is carried out, however, from the special viewpoint of the political, social, economic, religious and cultural history of the frontier region between Egypt and Nubia and not from the traditional viewpoint of the direct interaction between Egypt and the successive Nubian kingdoms of Kerma, Napata and Meroe. The result is a new picture of the bipolar acculturation processes occurring in the frontier region of Lower Nubia in particular and in the Upper Nubian centres, in general. The much-debated issue of social and cultural "Egyptianization" is also re-assessed.
This work explores the controversial issues surrounding the influx of Mexicans to America. Drawing on insights provoked by recent trends in immigration research, these 11 essays offer an overview of some of the more important interpretations of the dimensions of the Mexican diaspora.
Zainab Salbi was eleven years old when her father was chosen to be Saddam Hussein's personal pilot and her family's life was grafted onto his. Her mother, the beautiful Alia, taught her daughter the skills she needed to survive. A plastic smile. Saying yes. Burying in boxes in her mind the horrors she glimpsed around her. "Learn to erase your memories," she instructed. "He can read eyes." In this richly visual memoir, Salbi describes tyranny as she saw it - through the eyes of a privileged child, a rebellious teenager, a violated wife, and ultimately a public figure fighting to overcome the skill that once kept her alive: silence. Between Two Worlds is a riveting quest for truth that deepens our understanding of the universal themes of power, fear, sexual subjugation, and the question one generation asks the one before it: How could you have let this happen to us?
A major new approach to the study of the social and economic history of colonial French West Africa, this book traces French efforts to establish a cotton export economy in the French Soudan from the early nineteenth century through the end of World War II. By showing how a regionally based local economy successfully withstood the pressure from European capitalist markets and colonial aspirations, the book sheds new light on various generally accepted assumptions about the character of colonial economies and their integration into global export markets. It thus challenges the notion that colonial political, military, and elite intellectual hegemony translated directly or easily into regional economic hegemony. In making this argument, the book points to inherent weaknesses in the usual view of the colonial state, notably the failure to recognize sufficiently the enduring power of local processes - or local currents of culture and practice - to withstand empire and ultimately shape the experience of colonialism.
Religion was at the heart of Ontario life for many years. In Two Worlds, Westfall examines the origin, character, and social significance of the powerful and distinctive Protestant culture that grew and flourished in Southern Ontario in the mid-Victorian period.
Over the last thirty years, practitioners of international relations have shown increasing interest in the academic study of the subject and likewise academics have been drawn more and more into involvement in government policy making. Two Worlds of International Relations contains essays by leading academics together with practitioners who discuss and analyze the important developments in the field. The book's two main aims are on the one hand to discover how significant academic work has become for those taking practical decisions and on the other to examine the impact on academic values of increasing involvement in the policy community. The book has case studies and presents the views of diplomats, lawyers and parliamentarians. The editors conclude that there may well be a natural partnership between the modern academic and foreign policy-makers, but to work will it needs to be based on a distance between the two worlds.
Nature was always vital in Thomas MertonÕs life, from the long hours he spent as a child watching his father paint landscapes in the fresh air, to his final years of solitude in the hermitage at Our Lady of Gethsemani, where he contemplated and wrote about the beauty of his surroundings. Throughout his life, MertonÕs study of the natural world shaped his spirituality in profound ways, and he was one of the first writers to raise concern about ecological issues that have become critical in recent years. In The Environmental Vision of Thomas Merton, author Monica Weis suggests that MertonÕs interest in nature, which developed significantly during his years at the Abbey of Gethsemani, laid the foundation for his growing environmental consciousness. Tracing MertonÕs awareness of the natural world from his childhood to the final years of his life, Weis explores his deepening sense of place and desire for solitude, his love and responsibility for all living things, and his evolving ecological awareness.
The importance of Eastman's life story was reiterated for a new generation when the 2007 HBO film entitled Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee used Eastman, played by Adam Beach, as its leading hero. This book presents an account of the American Indian experience as seen through the eyes of the author.

Q: Why is type arrayp[] the same as type* arrayp as parameter of a function? Why is f.e. int arrayp[] the same as int* arrayp, as parameter in the definition/declaration of a function?
 int* foo(int arrayp[]){}

A pointer to the first element of an int array passed as argument in the caller.
Like:
 #include <stdio.h>

 int* foo (int arrayp[]);

 int main(void)
 {
    int a[] = { 10,5,4,2,1 };
    int *p;

    p = foo(a);

    printf("%d",*p);

    return 0;
 }

 int* foo(int arrayp[])
 {
     *arrayp = 0;
     return arrayp;
 }

Why is int arrayp[] a pointer to the first element of an array of type int? IMHO I think this is very confusing. Some people may think that they passing an entired array (pass by value) with this expression.

A: In function parameter types, arrays are implicitly adjusted to the pointer they would decay to.
Thus, these function declaration pairs, for example, are compatible:
void foo(int a[]);
void foo(int *a);  //compatible declaration

void bar(int a[][2][3]);
void bar(int (*a)[2][3]);  //compatible declaration

Dennis Ritchie (the language author) explains this confusing rule in https://www.bell-labs.com/usr/dmr/www/chist.html

Moreover, some rules designed to ease early transitions contributed to
  later confusion. For example, the empty square brackets in the
  function declaration
int f(a) int a[]; { ... } are a living fossil, a remnant of NB's way
  of declaring a pointer; a is, in this special case only, interpreted
  in C as a pointer. The notation survived in part for the sake of
  compatibility, in part under the rationalization that it would allow
  programmers to communicate to their readers an intent to pass f a
  pointer generated from an array, rather than a reference to a single
  integer. Unfortunately, it serves as much to confuse the learner as to
  alert the reader.

(Note: Chist.html uses a K&R style function definition. A prototyped equivalent of the above function definition would be int f( int a[]){ ... }.)
In short, the rule exists mainly to ease transition from B to C and to allow the programmer to signal to the reader that a pointer to the first element of an array is expected, rather than just a pointer to a single element (and do so without having to use a comment).
Function-typed parameters are also adjusted to pointers in a similar way.
void takeFuncPtr(void Func(void));
void takeFuncPtr(void (*Func)(void)); //compatible declaration

A perhaps more deeper question would be "why do arrays decay to pointers at all in C"?. The linked document provides an answer to that question as well:

...
  These semantics represented an easy transition from B, and I
  experimented with them for some months. Problems became evident when I
  tried to extend the type notation, especially to add structured
  (record) types. Structures, it seemed, should map in an intuitive way
  onto memory in the machine, but in a structure containing an array,
  there was no good place to stash the pointer containing the base of
  the array, nor any convenient way to arrange that it be initialized.
  For example, the directory entries of early Unix systems might be
  described in C as
struct {  int inumber;    char    name[14]; };
I wanted the structure not
  merely to characterize an abstract object but also to describe a
  collection of bits that might be read from a directory. Where could
  the compiler hide the pointer to name that the semantics demanded?
  Even if structures were thought of more abstractly, and the space for
  pointers could be hidden somehow, how could I handle the technical
  problem of properly initializing these pointers when allocating a
  complicated object, perhaps one that specified structures containing
  arrays containing structures to arbitrary depth? The solution
  constituted the crucial jump in the evolutionary chain between
  typeless BCPL and typed C. It eliminated the materialization of the
  pointer in storage, and instead caused the creation of the pointer
  when the array name is mentioned in an expression. The rule, which
  survives in today's C, is that values of array type are converted,
  when they appear in expressions, into pointers to the first of the
  objects making up the array.
...

A: It is very hard to answer a Why question definitively.  In C, the array/pointer duality is used all over the place.  Once you get used to it, it won't seem confusing.
Don't think of it as a pointer to the first element -- think of it as the pointer to the whole array. *a is the first element, but *(a+1) is the next one.

Q: Redcarpet not generating fenced code block with Jekyll First off I'm pretty new to Jekyll (and posting on StackOverflow) but I've managed thus far. I had at one point gotten Jekyll to output highlighted code snippets within a fenced block code. Eventually I came back to work on things a while later and noticed the formatting went back to this, without the line numbers and  tags:

    def
    print_hi(name)
    puts
    "Hi, #{name}"
    end
    print_hi
    ('Tom')
    #=> prints 'Hi, Tom' to STDOUT.

Above code is derived from:
```ruby
def print_hi(name)
    puts "Hi, #{name}"
end
print_hi('Tom')
#=> prints 'Hi, Tom' to STDOUT.
```

My _config.yml:
name: Your New Jekyll Site
markdown: redcarpet
pygments: true
permalinks: pretty.

One key thing I noticed was that when I run rvm use system in the terminal, it serves jekyll with ruby 1.8.7 and let's me know in the terminak (which I assume would be a problem. Alternatively when I use ruby 2.0.0-p247, it just serves it but doesn't tell me which version it's being served with.
Pulling out my hair over this!

A: Several more night hours and I've beaten the same problem (at least it looks like pretty similar one mentioned by you).
Anyway, for me it was because of newer version of Python set up than (accourdingly to this source) supported by 'Pygments' script, which is responsible of those blocks processing.
The newest version (for this moment) was 3.3. After playing and experimenting, reinstalling 2.7.5 version of Python back solved the issue.
I am a Windows user (I guess, that's not a big difference for Linux one in current situation) and used jekyll server locally.

Additionally... not sure which exactly approach you are using (I was trying also to install Jekyll on free Heroku hosting dyno as it's mentioned here), so was experiencing the same problem there (meaning, the same results), but after some explorations found out that those guys provide Python 2.7.4 using by default, and I had to specify the following thing explicitly in _config.yml Jekyll configuration file:
markdown: redcarpet
pygments: true

for Pygments thing to work.
(even thought they say that the latest version of Jekyll (as of 1.1) uses redcarpet by default... anyway, that might be related to some deep relationships between all the ruby/python/jekyll settings - I just let it go he he).
