Download Ne-Yo
Born: 18 October 1982
Genre: R&B, Pop/Rock
Releases: 30
Songwriter, arranger, and vocalist Ne-Yo was born Shaffer Smith in Arkansas and raised in Las Vegas, NV. His start in the music industry came as a songwriter. Prior to exiting his teenage years, he penned material for Youngstown and broke through in 2004 with Mario's "Let Me Love You," one of the most-played songs on urban radio stations across the U.S. In My Own Words, the second album he recorded but the first one to be released, came out in early 2006 and reached the top of the charts, supported by the number one hit "So Sick." During the same year, he appeared on Remy Ma's There's Something About Remy and Ghostface Killah's Fishscale, and he had a hand in writing a pair of Top Ten hits: Beyoncé's "Irreplaceable" and Rihanna's "Unfaithful." Because of You, his second album, followed in May 2007. It went to number one on the Billboard 200 and Billboard's R&B/Hip-Hop Albums charts as well, with its upbeat title track topping out at number two on the Hot 100. Year of the Gentleman was issued in September 2008, but not before another series of songwriting triumphs, including Rihanna's "Take a Bow" and Jennifer Hudson's "Spotlight." Propelled by the hits "Closer," "Miss Independent," and "Mad," Year of the Gentleman eventually went platinum, just like Ne-Yo's first two albums. After releasing three albums in three years, Ne-Yo went relatively quiet but returned in 2010 with Libra Scale, an album inspired by science fiction and comic books, as well as Stevie Wonder's and Michael Jackson's most ambitious recordings.

I was in bad shape one semester. I had to be enrolled to keep my health insurance. Found the cheapest class that wasn't filled, explained the situation, got it in writing, and basically took the semester off. Since I did show up now and then I got an incomplete. They could have easily forgotten about your conversation or someone else who could be there needed that spot.
I doubt they promised you that they'd keep you enrolled after a full month of absence.
It'd be so unfair to the other students if you were to pass after missing so much time.
Did you get it put in writing that you wouldn't be unenrolled from the classes? If you did, you might be able to go to the dean and get reenrolled in the classes or be able to take them again at no cost or a discounted price. If not, maybe talk to your professors and ask why the unenrolled you and see if there's any way to fix the problem.
It depends on the situation. If they had a parent dying of cancer, it's not fair to OP to be kicked out after going to the school and okaying all their absences. And if it was OP who was sick, that's discrimination.
Dis-enrolling someone because they are too sick to attend classes is not discrimination. That's just life. If you can't fulfill the course requirements for one reason or the other, the professor is well within their rights to fail/dis-enroll you.
Now even if we assume the worst, and OP's parent was dying of cancer, they would still need to fill out paperwork and stay in communication with their professors about the situation. OP didn't check their email for an entire month. That's irresponsible and so OP faces the consequences. Part of going to college is learning how to function as an adult and being prepared to not have safety nets every where you go.
They really need to take medical leave and an incomplete and make a plan with the professor to complete the course, or retake it.
There's no issue of discrimination.
My school will automatically unenroll you if you havent completed so much of the course work. If you didnt have at least 50% of the work up until midterm completed, you would be dropped no matter what the professor said.
Honestly this sounds a lot like OP missed some important communication that would make their continued absence ok. Colleges don't just let students take a month off just like that. You have to submit paperwork (either for leave of absence or a formal request to miss a good chunk of the term). You also need to be prepared to update your professors, if asked. I'm wondering if OP even offered some sort of proof that their reason for being away was true.
You could have logged on in that month instead of avoiding it.


Does erasing history cure racism?
The Tulsa Forum by TulsaNow > Not At My Table - Political Discussions > National & International Politics (Moderator: Admin) > Does erasing history cure racism?
Re: Does erasing history cure racism?
I think at one time there was a consensus that the toll was around a million Americans lost, once disease and starvation were figured in.
I didn't do my Master's Thesis on the number of casualties in the US Civil War. I just did some quick Google checks. Most were around 620,000 military casualties but these guys upped it some to about 750,000. But hey, anything over "0.5" rounds up to "1" so a million or more it is.
only became a slaveowner by inheritance.
So, the first thing he did was free them?
Wow, you want to walk about white washing history?
The school is named after a famous civil war general who fought against the United States of America, it isn't named for Capt. and then Major Robert E. Lee the Spanish American war officer.
While Lee did distinguish himself after his defeat, the monuments were not put up as a testament to his reconstruction efforts or his many statements on reconciling with the north. The discussions when the statutes were erected, the commencements, and the timing of their placement all make it fairly clear he was being honored as a symbol of the mythology of the Confederacy. Lee was a gentlemen of his time and place, a great general, a noble aid to reconstruction after the war, I have a lot of respect for him. But he was also a traitor, a racist slave holder, and a a general who killed over a hundred thousand United States soldiers.
Lets be serious, the school, the statutes, and the monuments were put up to either commemorate the war sacrifices of the south or to glorify the mythology of the "old south." Many of these monuments, and Lee Elementary school, were put up and named in the teens and early twenties, as the KKK was at its peak. Some of the monuments have photos of hooded KKK attended the commemoration. I haven't seen nor heard of any dedications that elicited the strong union building and education credentials of Robert E. Lee.
This isn't an argument for or against the name. I don't really have a strong opinion. If people know the facts and still feel we should honor Robert E. Lee, so be it. But lets not pretend it was named Lee elementary because of his academic credentials or good deeds.
My proposal: if people want to rename a school, it goes to a vote of alumni, current parents, and staff (like an expanded PTA). 66% required for change. The decision gets ratified by the school board. If the vote carries, the side wanting to change the name is responsible for the fund raising to change the name.
If people want to change the name of their school, remove a statute from their town square, or put one up... so long as we aren't infringing someone elsels rights, then let the people have their way.
In the thinking of the day, Virginia was Lee's "country" and he only took up arms against his former West Point classmates when they became the invading army.
was going from memory without checking, apologies.
The question is, why should he have ever been honored with naming a school after him in the first place? What is Lee famous for? What did he do for this country that we would honor him for?
He's famous for being a traitor to this country. He was the top general of the CSA, which was founded to preserve slavery and the result was a war with more than a million deaths. Today he is a hero to the KKK, White Pride and Nazi types.
Removing his name from a school is correct, he did nothing of value, added nothing but pain and death to our history and he did it on the side of evil.
A clear case of what I talk about all the time - a lack of knowledge or sense of history. Read the quick once over at the link below. There is a much more complex, nuanced, story than your sound bite version.
And I know - you normally don't get even close to doing that sound bit thing - this time you need more information. They have the Lee Barracks at West Point.
If it were to happen, that sounds like a fair proposal.
FWIW I believe the Civil War numbers that venture towards the million mark included the massive civilian losses.
So why did Grant keep his until 1859? Apparently quite a few years after acquiring him.... Even Lincoln was not enthusiastic about freed slaves running around the country without the second half of the Republican plan - emancipation and colonization - the two pronged approach to the "colored problem". Free them, even if the government had to buy them, but make sure they went back to Africa or the Caribbean. This was the Republican plan from about the 1820's on.
Today's world still trying to put blanket judgements on 19th century thought. Hey, sounds good - let's get ALL of them off the money and tear down all these vile, hypocritical memorials everywhere for what they did to the Native Americans!! ALL of those old white guys were complicit and active participants in murder, torture, and extermination.
Which is worse - slavery or genocide and extermination??
I am the last person in the world to excuse someone beating another like that - it is unconscionable.
Also used a treatment for bronchitis, pneumonia, etc - mixed 1 part whisky, 1 part kerosene, 1 raw egg, 2 or 3 parts water. Make any sick family member drink it...including kids. Yum! Not! But also, none died from those diseases. Probably again, mostly luck.
Aldrich Ames, a Russian mole within the CIA, was responsible for the deaths of numerous agents. He is serving a life sentence in the federal prison at Terre Haute.
Jonathan Pollard was a Navy intelligence analyst who sold or tried to sell secrets to several foreign governments. He served 30 years in federal prison before being paroled in 2015.
Robert Hanssen, an FBI agent, spied for Russian intelligence over 22 years. He's serving 15 consecutive life sentences in a federal supermax prison.
Robert E. Lee resigned his commission in the United States Army to become a Confederate general leading the Army of Northern Virginia, an army that killed thousands of Union troops.
All these men were traitors. All these men did irreparable harm to our country. Lee is the only one we find on monuments, however. To understand why some of us view Confederate monuments as an affront to humanity since they glorify rebellion, traitorous actions, hatred, and slavery, you need only consider raising monuments to Ames, Pollard, and Hanssen. If that thought is repugnant, if the idea of glorifying men who harmed our nation is one that elicits a visceral reaction in your gut, you begin to understand your fellow countrymen who clamor for the removal of Confederate monuments.
Wasn't Hanssen the subject of the movie "Breach" with Chris Cooper playing Hanssen?
Unless the Soviet Union has statues of American spies in Red Square, this comparison makes no sense.
Here's two flags white supremacists use.
One represented a nation of slavery for four years.
One represented a nation of slavery for a century prior to that.
Which one should we ban?
Guess it depends on who "wins". The Natives lost, so the same actions perpetrated against them are still celebrated.
Still crimes against humanity, no matter how one rationalizes it.
I haven't seen that one. It's on the list now.
One only represented a nation of slavery as well as a nation that rebelled against the United States.
One represents a nation with a complicated history that endeavors to improve itself.
One represents a nation that fought and died to free slaves.
One represents the longest living representative government on the planet.
One represents a nation that fought Nazis and fascists.
One represents a nation that perfected the light bulb, created vaccines, and took the liberty of inventing the internet.
One is flown by millions in the belief that it serves as a symbol of hope, freedom, and success.
One is flown by thousands who want it to be seen as a symbol of hatred and intimidation.
Ye' ole' stars and stripes isn't perfect. We have done and continue to do sketchy things. But the stars and bars isn't complicated either, it existed primary to support the institute of chattel slavery. While the nuance of the American flag is certainly lost on some (we're perfect #1 always etc.), there is little nuance to the stars and bars.


THE GUNTHER GANG: Happy Love Day.
I have never understood why people don't like Valentine's Day (I mean, to each his own, totally not bagging on anyone here). It's the perfect excuse of a day to stuff your face with cupcakes and chocolate and a vast assortment of candy. It's a day to celebrate love and all of those really rad individuals in your life whom you adore. It's an excuse to do things a little differently than you normally do (like cutting out twenty massive hearts and taping them to the wall... and making your husband help you blow up thirty balloons so you can do valentine's day themed photos of babies). I'm totally one of those people who likes to make a "big deal" about the big holidays, the little holidays and all the holidays in between.
Tay and I have a pretty ghetto studio set-up in our unfinished basement. Which probably was the main reason for why I decided that I was going to create an obnoxiously cheesy valentine's day themed backdrop for a fun little shoot with the kiddos. Tay was a total sweetheart and helped me with my ridiculous plans at midnight the night before we did the photos. Kingsley kinda helped too, in a round about way... because as I was messing around with the lights (I have no idea what I'm doing when it comes to studio equipment. I just turn knobs and dials until something looks different, snap a couple of photos and then call it good), Kingsley was lurking in the corner trying to avoid all of the bright, unexpected flashes... so I picked him up, put him on a crate in the middle of a pile of balloons (which I now know terrify him) and snapped a couple of photos of him to see how it all looked. He may look calm and collected, but I assure you, he was certainly not.
When it comes to Taylor and me, typically I am the one in the relationship who plans out days like Valentine's Day and anniversaries... needless to say, I thought that our Valentine's Day plans consisted of a whole bunch of nothing (because I hadn't taken the time to plan anything). But my sweet, wonderful, perfect husband surprised me! He asked his sweet, wonderful, perfect mother to babysit Billie for the evening so we could go on our first date ALONE after having Billie (it only took us four months, that's all).
Sidenote: I've officially embraced the comfort and roominess of "mom jeans," in case anyone was wondering. I'm all about that mom jean life.
We did dinner at Zao (because their freaking teriyaki steak bowl is probably the best thing ever) and kept saying how weird it was that it was just the two of us. It's weird to think that, once upon a time, it was only just the two of us all the time. We missed our Billie girl so dang much. But it was also nice to have some one-on-one time with Tay.
Annnnnd, because I've been begging Tay to go to the Greatest Showman with me since the day it came out (between having a baby and us being sick for so long, it just didn't happen before now. But tonight was the perfect opportunity for us to go!), we ended the night at the movie theater! I loved the movie more than I even thought I would. If I'm being completely honest, yes, yes I did cry. Surprisingly enough, we didn't really know the storyline for the movie before seeing it. I have no idea how we avoided all the spoilers seeing as everyone else in the world has seen the movie at least seven times by now.
I love love day. I love having an excuse to celebrate love and to smother your favorite people in more love than usual. This Valentine's Day was super low-key but still so much fun. I'm just feeling extra-super-duper grateful for Taylor Dale and the way that he has loved me in this little adventure we like to call life. Oh! That reminds me-- I made him a little video valentine to show him how grateful I am for him-- I'll just go ahead and end this whole post with that.
"When I was a kid, I used to dream about falling into an "epic" love. I never thought I'd end up with the kid who sat behind me in my seventh grade Utah history class. But here I am, all these years later, madly in love with (and mother the child of) the kid who sat behind me in my seventh grade Utah history class. Happy Valentine's Day to the guy who has made every second of the life we have created together a second worth remembering. I LOVE YOU, you dork!"
I hope everyone had a fantastic Valentine's Day!
Such a cute post! Happy Valentine's Day!

Carroll Gibbons
American pianist, bandleader and composer
Carroll Richard Gibbons (January 4, 1903 – May 10, 1954) was an American-born pianist, bandleader and popular composer who made his career primarily in England during the British dance band era. [1]
Marriage and death
Selected filmography
Image of Gibbons from the W.D. & H.O. Wills Radio Celebrities cigarette card series
He was born and raised in Clinton, Massachusetts, United States, [1] one of three children of Peter and Mary Gibbons. In his late teens he travelled to London to study at the Royal Academy of Music. In 1924 he returned to London as a relief pianist with the Boston Orchestra for an engagement at the Savoy Hotel in the Strand. [2] He liked Britain so much that he settled there, and later became the co-leader (with Howie Jacobs) of the Savoy Orpheans and the bandleader of the New MayFair Orchestra, which recorded for the Gramophone Company on the HMV label. [1] In 1929, Gibbons appeared in the British film Splinters as "Carroll Gibbons and His Masters Voice Orchestra". Ray Noble led the New Mayfair [sic] Orchestra starting in 1929. [3]
Gibbons made occasional return trips to the United States but settled permanently in England, though he did spend a couple of years (1930–1931) in Hollywood, where he worked as a staff composer for MGM films. [1] He took exclusive leadership of the Savoy Hotel Orpheans, which recorded hundreds of popular songs (many of which were sung by Anne Lenner) between June 1932 and his death in 1954, all featuring Gibbons on piano. Starting in about 1931, he also recorded many sophisticated records featuring a piano-led small group playing pop tunes and medleys under the name of Carroll Gibbons and his Boy Friends, of which some contained tracks by singer Hildegarde. [1]
As a composer, Gibbons's most popular songs included "A Garden in the Rain" (1928) and "On the Air" (1932). The latter was covered by Rudy Vallée in 1933 and by Lud Gluskin in 1936. Gibbons' instrumental numbers "Bubbling Over" and "Moonbeam Dance" were also quite successful in the United Kingdom. Gibbons and his orchestra had a weekly show on Radio Luxembourg in the 1930s, sponsored by Hartley's Jam. [3]
Gibbons' grave in Brookwood Cemetery
Gibbons married Joan Muriel (née Lidstone) in 1951. [4] He died at the London Clinic in 1954 at the age of 51, of a coronary thrombosis. [5] He is one of several famous musicians buried in Brookwood Cemetery in Surrey, England. [6]
Specialist dance band radio stations, such as Swing Street Radio and Radio Dismuke, continue to play his records. Gibbons also features regularly on the weekly Manx Radio programme Sweet & Swing , presented by Jim and Howard Caine. The UK 1940s Radio Station, a dedicated Internet radio station, also regularly plays Gibbons's records. [7]

Swing music is a style of jazz that developed in the United States during the late 1920s and early 1930s. It became nationally popular from the mid-1930s. The name derived from its emphasis on the off-beat, or nominally weaker beat. Swing bands usually featured soloists who would improvise on the melody over the arrangement. The danceable swing style of big bands and bandleaders such as Benny Goodman was the dominant form of American popular music from 1935 to 1946, known as the swing era. The verb "to swing" is also used as a term of praise for playing that has a strong groove or drive. Musicians of the swing era include Duke Ellington, Benny Goodman, Count Basie, Cab Calloway, Jimmy Dorsey, Tommy Dorsey, Woody Herman, Harry James, Lionel Hampton, Glenn Miller, Artie Shaw and Django Reinhardt.
Jack Hylton was an English pianist, composer, band leader and impresario.
Raymond Stanley Noble was an English jazz and big band musician, who was a bandleader, composer and arranger, as well as a radio host, television and film comedian and actor; he also performed in the United States.
Benjamin Frankel was a British composer. His best known pieces include a cycle of five string quartets, eight symphonies, and concertos for violin and viola. He was also notable for writing over 100 film scores and working as a big band arranger in the 1930s. During the last 15 years of his life, Frankel also developed his own style of 12-note composition which retained contact with tonality.
Beatrice "Binnie" Mary Hale-Monro was an English actress, singer and dancer. She was one of the most successful musical theatre stars in London in the 1920s and 1930s, able to sing leading roles in operetta as well as musicals, and she was popular as a principal boy in pantomime.

Q: Standalone Consumer throwing InvalidGroupIdException This is a two part question.
I. The code is:
import java.time.Duration
import java.util
import java.util.Properties

import org.apache.kafka.clients.consumer.{ConsumerConfig, KafkaConsumer}
import org.apache.kafka.common.TopicPartition
import org.apache.kafka.common.serialization.StringDeserializer

import scala.collection.JavaConverters._
import io.StdIn._

object StandaloneConsumer {
  private final var topics = ""
  private final val BOOTSTRAPSERVERS = "hostname:9092"

  def main(args: Array[String]): Unit = {
    val props = new Properties()
    props.put(ConsumerConfig.BOOTSTRAP_SERVERS_CONFIG, BOOTSTRAPSERVERS)
    props.put(ConsumerConfig.AUTO_OFFSET_RESET_CONFIG, "earliest")
    props.put(ConsumerConfig.ENABLE_AUTO_COMMIT_CONFIG, false: java.lang.Boolean)
    props.put(ConsumerConfig.KEY_DESERIALIZER_CLASS_CONFIG, classOf[StringDeserializer])
    props.put(ConsumerConfig.VALUE_DESERIALIZER_CLASS_CONFIG, classOf[StringDeserializer])

    val consumer = new KafkaConsumer[String, String](props)
    topics = readLine("Enter the topic name: ")

    try {
      val partitionInfos = consumer.partitionsFor(topics)
      val topicPartitions = new util.ArrayList[TopicPartition]
      if(partitionInfos != null) {
        for (partitionInfo <- partitionInfos.asScala) {
          topicPartitions.add(new TopicPartition(partitionInfo.topic, partitionInfo.partition))
        }
        consumer.assign(topicPartitions)
        while (true) {
          val records = consumer.poll(Duration.ofMillis(500))
          for(record <- records.asScala) {
            println(s"key = ${record.key}, value = ${record.value()}")
          }
          consumer.commitAsync()
        }
      }
    } catch {
      case e:Exception => e.printStackTrace()
    } finally {
      consumer.commitSync()
      consumer.close()
    }
  }
}

When I run this it is consuming all the data properly but at the end it gives:
org.apache.kafka.common.errors.InvalidGroupIdException: To use the group management or offset commit APIs, you must provide a valid group.id in the consumer configuration.
Exception in thread "main" org.apache.kafka.common.errors.InvalidGroupIdException: To use the group management or offset commit APIs, you must provide a valid group.id in the consumer configuration.

this error. Why?
II. I didn't understand this part of the code. What is going on?:
val topicPartitions = new util.ArrayList[TopicPartition]
  if(partitionInfos != null) {
    for (partitionInfo <- partitionInfos.asScala) {
      topicPartitions.add(new TopicPartition(partitionInfo.topic, partitionInfo.partition))
    }

Can somebody please explain this to me.
Thank you.

A: In Kafka, committing does only make sense if you're part of a consumer group ( and then let Kafka cluster coordinators manage partition assignment and offset fetching/committing operations).
Regarding your code, it looks like you're doing manual partition assignment, but still you're trying to commit:
          consumer.commitAsync()

Some documentation on consumer group :
https://www.confluent.io/blog/tutorial-getting-started-with-the-new-apache-kafka-0-9-consumer-client/
For your question II
This code is fetching the different partition belonging to your topic and then you assign those partitions to your consumer.
You should read a bit more about Kafka consumer groups, and be sure , or not, if you want to use it , or handling partitions assignment on your own.
I would highly recommend using it ( for scalability purposes) except if you really want to skip it.

How the famous Gladding, McBean Tile Company made its way to Palm Springs
Tracy Conrad
Special to The Desert Sun
A small advertisement for luxurious art tile appeared in the August 1926 issue of Pacific Coast Monthly. It featured a lavishly decorated tile fountain adorning an outside patio of an architecturally important home in Palm Springs, California. The Gladding, McBean Tile Company was well established by the time of the ad. It had been in business for more than half a century and was known throughout the Southwest.
In the 1920s, architectural terra cotta was all the rage in California. The ornamentation of buildings was decidedly Spanish Revival, and Gladding, McBean was pioneering technology to create ever more fascinating and interesting designs to offer its many customers.
Charles Gladding fought for the Union Army in the Civil War. He later moved to Chicago and learned the clay pipe business required then, as now for sewers. He came west to California in 1874 and read an article in a San Francisco newspaper about a large clay deposit near the town of Lincoln, California. Gladding found the reports to be true; there was an "unusually fine deposit of white kaolin clay" there and close to the railroad line. He partnered with Peter McBean and George Chambers and set up shop in 1875.
By the 1920s, Gladding, McBean was a major manufacturer and prosperous enough to buy other concerns, starting with the Tropico Potteries in Los Angeles and continuing through multiple other businesses including the LA Pressed Brick Company. With multiple factories and product lines, Gladding, McBean was helping to industrialize the whole of the State of California.
More:The visionary architects who continue to give Palm Springs its distinct look
The Great Depression of the following decade was a major blow to business as the demand for building supplies dwindled. Ingeniously, the company sought new products that would still sell, expanding to dinnerware and art pottery. The Franciscan Pottery line was named for the friars who founded the Missions along the length of California. Designed by Mary Grant, the Franciscan Ware patterns of Desert Rose, Franciscan Apple and Franciscan Ivy were markedly different than the solid colored tableware offered by competing firms of Bauer and Catalina Potteries.
The outbreak of World War II caused the cessation of all art pottery production, and after the war, fine porcelain imports from Japan became widely available. Gladding, McBean went back to industrial production of clay pipe for infrastructure.
It's products had been used to decorate and embellish thousands of buildings in California. Most notably all the major structures of Stanford University are topped with iconic Gladding, McBean red clay tiles, as are the Spreckles Theater in San Diego and the Ventura County Courthouse.
With all those spectacular buildings from which to choose, it is remarkable indeed that Gladding, McBean selected a small, but exceedingly lovely fountain just installed at the Roland Bishop House in Palm Springs for its print advertisement in 1926.
Finished by the summer of 1925, the Bishop House was built with the same blueprints at the William Mead house next door. Bishop was very wealthy; he owned a 30,000-square-foot Georgian pile in Holmby Hills. William Mead, Bishop's best friend and another multi-millionaire from Los Angeles, owned an extended estate in Silver Lake. They both sold their mansions and took up residence next to each other in bungalows at the Beverly Hills Hotel.
Bishop made a fortune manufacturing crackers and candies in the early 20th century with his nephew William Bishop. In 1922 the eponymous company had 1000 employees and was producing 15,000 pounds of chocolate daily. It had offices in New York, Los Angeles, Seattle and San Francisco. The company imported cocoa beans from Ecuador and sold products in 24 different countries.
More:How the O'Donnells and Milbanks helped create the Palm Springs we know
Roland Bishop eschewed publicity and was seldom quoted publicly. A profile written by the Los Angeles Times in 1923 remarked that, "Mr. Bishop is the last person whom you could imagine in the candy and cracker business." The reporter continued, "If I had been asked to character analyze him, I'd have put him in the chair as a president of a small college, or as ambassador, or something dignified like that. But in the candy business? Nay, nay…"
Visiting Nellie Coffman's Desert Inn, Bishop and Mead became entranced with the desert and engaged William J. Dodd, the architect of the Hearst Examiner Building in Los Angeles, to design them a pair of houses. The plans were individualized enough that the homes would be fraternal rather than identical twins. The Gladding, McBean fountain graced the patio outside the dining room at the Bishop House. The design of the art tiles featured birds and floral motifs. Nestled against mountain boulders, it produced a gentle splash into a teal colored tiled pool.
The Bishop and Mead Houses were originally connected by stone paths when completed in the summer of 1925. Through the following decades they were variously separated, and the connecting pathways obstructed. Over the past year with an extensive restoration project, the homes have been reunited. The properties, including the Gladding, McBean fountain, will be available for public viewing for the first time on January 20th as opened by the Palm Springs Preservation Foundation. Tickets are available at pspreservationfoundation.org.

A pocket of blooming flowers in a secret garden, Mr. Naeem Khan's Spring|Summer 2014 collection had much to reveal about the power of love. And there's much to be said about that, whether client or creator, for a person without passion is a person without a soul. Undeniably, it's captivating. With that, Mr. Khan showed his admiration for his career and craftsmanship with a collection that paid homage to Spanish tradition; a collection that embodies romance, vibrancy, and elegance.
Revolving around the Spanish Rose, a symbol of love and beauty, the pieces were a voyage from Madrid to Buenos Aires just how the show notes stated. Tango gowns danced in ruffles, handpainted abstract stripes entranced. Other elements that were hard to miss were the rich embroidery and sultry colors. Inconspicuously seductive. It was art in transit, emotion in translation. Shakespeare once wrote: "A rose by any other name would smell as sweet," but not in this case. Visually, the Naeem Khan signatures were present- embellishments, caftans, and heritage prints- erasing any doubt from the discerning eye.

Stassi Schroeder and Fiance Beau Clark Celebrate Engagement With 'Vanderpump Rules' Costars: Photos
By Mariah Cooper
Courtesy of Beau Clark/Instagram
A reason to party! Stassi Schroeder and her fiancé, Beau Clark, celebrated their engagement with their Vanderpump Rules costars on Saturday, November 2.
The Next Level Basic author, 31, documented the festivities on her Instagram Story on Saturday. The guest list included SUR matriarch Lisa Vanderpump and Vanderpump Rules costars Katie Maloney and Kristina Kelly. Costars Brittany Cartwright and her husband, Jax Taylor, were unable to attend, as they were hosting an event in Atlantic City, New Jersey, but she posted on Instagram that she was sad to miss out on the fun.
Schroeder appeared to have a great night with her pals. She posted on Instagram on Sunday, November 3, "Thank you so much to everyone who came out last night. it was magical. now im hungover. "
Clark, 39, popped the question to Schroeder at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery in July. Earlier this month on her "Straight Up With Stassi" podcast, she revealed that since getting engaged, she and the casting agent have spent significantly less time being intimate.
"We hook up a lot less because we're so busy," Schroeder said. "I realize that we're so busy working together because we're doing the podcast tour and planning a wedding and just then in between, still filming Vanderpump Rules and having shoots and things we need to do that I'm like, 'Oh, my God. Like, we barely hook up. I'm so sorry.' That's the negative that's come from it."
However, she said that "the positive is I feel like there's just an extra layer of safety."
In an August episode of her podcast, Schroeder revealed that their "whole wedding budget" will go toward multiple dress changes for the reality TV star. "Maybe just like two dresses … three," she said. "I just want to find out how to wear as many changes as I can."
As for the guest list, Schroeder — who's been feuding this year with castmate Kristen Doute —isn't looking to send out invites for the sake of being polite. "I'm sorry but this day isn't about anyone else but me and Beau and if someone questions why they aren't invited to something, I'm just sorry. It is what it is," Schroeder said.
She added, "I'm really going to have the thickest skin because I'm not going to be at any of my wedding events feeling uncomfortable with someone or feeling any sort of tension. I don't want any of that."
Scroll down to see highlights from Clark and Schroeder's big night.


Amida Buddha in His practising stage, many trillions of years ago – as Bodhisattva Dharmakara, under the guidance of Buddha Lokesvararaja – made forty-eight inconceivable Vows, out of great compassion for all suffering sentient beings. These Vows are made fully in accord with the varying karmic capacities and natures of beings – the main purpose is to ultimately free everyone, without exception – from the relentless and painful cycle of samsara.
All these Vows have already been wonderfully fulfilled when the Bodhisattva attained Perfect Enlightenment ten kalpas ago as Amida Buddha. His Pure Land of Peace and Bliss had been splendidly established, to receive all beings who really aspire to be born there and be permanently freed from the dreadful torture of samsara. In every one of the Vows, Amida have declared that each Vow would be accomplished accordingly as He had promised, otherwise, He is not fit to be a Buddha.
The Primal Vow – that is the 18th Vow – has caused countless mundane foolish persons (bombu 凡 夫), both good or evil, stupid or intelligent , male or female from different social status and environments – to be born directly into The Pure Land of Peace and Bliss and come to the end of all suffering, the beginning of Buddhahood. We should know that Amida Buddha has already accomplished our Pure Land birth through the power of The Primal Vow, by fulfilling for each of us our aspirations and their attendant practices – all ignorant sentient beings will realise this fact sooner or later when they are karmically ready to receive Amida Buddha's precious gift of Salvation.
Thus, by sincerely and joyfully entrusting ourselves, single-heartedly taking refuge only in Amida Buddha and The Primal Vow; aspiring for birth in the Pure Land, we have fully accepted His Absolute Confidence in saving all beings – His inconceivable Faith-mind (Shinjin, 信 心). Spontaneously, we would Say the Name (Namo Amida Butsu, 南 无 阿 彌 陀 佛), deeply grateful to The Buddha for having saved us. We are instantly grasped and not forsaken by the Light of Great Compassion.
Completing the cause of our Pure Land birth, here and now in this life, we know, without any doubt, that this is our last deluded life trapped in the painful cycle of relentless birth and death.
We see that The Primal Vow is clearly Amida Buddha's pledge to every sentient being. He had already attained Supreme Enlightenment and The Pure Land wonderfully established, although not all sentient beings would single-mindedly entrust themselves to this Vow of Boundless Compassion at this time. The enlightenment of all sentient beings had already been fulfilled at the hands of Amida Buddha. Therefore, The Primal Vow is constantly in an active mode, instantly fulfilled the moment sentient beings single-mindedly entrust and fully accept Amida's Shinjin.Thus, Saying the Name embodied in The Primal Vow is the Great Practice and an active other-power cause of our birth in The Pure Land and attainment of Nirvana. The Name is praised by all the Buddhas throughout the ten directions. It is not our good nor is it our self-power practice. With the one thought moment of True Entrusting (Shinjin, 信 心) in The Primal Vow, we Say the Name, deeply grateful to Amida Buddha for having saved us, particularly in this spiritually defiled Dharma Ending Age (末 法 時 代) when all persons are badly consumed by the evil passions of greed, hatred, ignorance, jealousy and arrogance.
If we seriously desire to be completely free from all pain and suffering at the end of this precious human life which has given us the right opportunity of encountering The Buddha Dharma, we should completely put aside all meditative and non-meditative practices. We should know that these practices on the Path of Sages are simply beyond our meagre spiritual capacities and struggling to practice them for the purpose of getting out of samsara will definitely be in vain.
If we honestly admit that we just Do Not possess the ability to free ourselves by self-power from the relentless, fearful nightmare of samsara, we will realize that we Do Not have any other choice but to single-mindedly entrust our karmic destiny entirely to Amida Buddha and The Primal Vow.
Thus, fully relying on Other-power, we know that our birth in the Land of Peace and Bliss is absolutely assured while we are still living out this unsatisfactory existence.

EXCLUSIVE — Former Congressman: Gretchen Whitmer REJECTED My Offer of Facemasks
'They Said, We're Not Interested'
by Patrick Howley
Photo: Mandi Wright, Detroit Free Press)
Former Republican Michigan Congressman Kerry Bentivolio told National File that Democrat Michigan governor Gretchen Whitmer's office rejected his offer to provide her with thousands of medical face masks that he obtained to help the people of Michigan.
Whitmer has criticized President Donald Trump's administration for supposedly failing to deliver face masks and other medical supplies to her state.
Trump approved Michigan's Major Disaster Declaration, which qualifies Whitmer's state for FEMA relief. As of the afternoon of Wednesday March 25, Whitmer had still not requested an emergency declaration to FEMA, even though she was taking to cable news to criticize Trump's federal government for supposedly abandoning her.

Whitmer said Saturday that FEMA delivered 112,000 N95 face masks to her state.
Previously, Whitmer's office rejected Bentivolio's help while claiming in the press to be short-handed.
Bentivolio purchased 3,000 N95 face masks to help people in his state, and he's receiving another 2,000 masks from Texas.
Bentivolio, who served in Congress from Michigan's 11th District from 2013 to 2015, said he called Whitmer's office after he received the masks, and spoke to one of the governor's representatives.
"I just called them and said, I'll deliver them to wherever. They said, we're not interested," Bentivolio said.
Whitmer's office said that Bentivolio is not on the "approved list of contractors," but would not explain to the former congressman what he needed to do to get on the approved list of contractors, Bentivolio said.

"They couldn't get me off the phone fast enough," Bentivolio said.
Whitmer publicly put out a call for medical supply donations days ago due to supposed Trump malevolence.
"Right now, medical professionals across the state are forced to reuse face masks. This increases the risk of spreading COVID-19 during a time when we should do everything we can to mitigate it. We're not getting the tools we need from the federal government, so it's on all of us to work together to protect each other," Whitmer stated.
Whitmer also issued an order warning that the state could investigate medical professionals who prescribe hydroxychloroquine for Coronavirus, after President Donald Trump promoted the anti-malarial drug as a treatment for COVID-19.

When ABC F's Up, People Listen
By Anthony R. Rizzuto on December 3, 2017 • ( Leave a comment )
ABC's so called "investigative correspondent" Brian Ross reported yesterday ( based on a single anonymous source) that then Candidate Trump had asked advisor General Mike Flynn to contact the Russian Government.
In light of the fact that Flynn (it was announced in the same report) had pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI and was now co-operating with the special council looking into possible collusion between the Trump campaign and the Russians and is allegedly willing to testify against the President, the stock market crashed and burned losing 350 points minutes after this was announced.
Flash forward to 6:00 PM the same day and lo and behold it turns out that it was President Elect not candidate Trump who asked his national security advisor to contact the Russians to seek help in resolving the crisis in Syria. He further tasked Flynn with making contact with other foreign leaders regarding "hot spots" in the world.
This is a 180 degrees from what was initially reported by Ross. That scenario would have resulted in potential impeachment proceedings against a sitting President (given the current political climate) which is why the markets tumbled.
Such is the level of disdain by the media (and ABC in particular) towards this President that they were willing to rush to air with a "Special Report" that they are now forced to admit was never properly vetted.
Worse, they compounded their error by calling the "update" on the 6:30 news a "clarification" rather than a correction. This ignited a firestorm of criticism which included the network which up to this point had been the poster child for the label "Fake News", CNN.
Anxious to shed this mantel they have been going after ABC like a piranha attacking a guppy.
With this type of behavior being the norm rather than the exception, is it any wonder that the media as a whole has a favorability rating below that of both the President and Congress?
The latest is that the network has suspended Ross without pay for thirty days. A more fitting punishment would be requiring the network to reimburse investors across the board for any losses incurred as a result of it's gross negligence.
Trial lawyers listen up, there may be an opportunity here.

Emphasize greenery in outdoor planters that feature faux flowers.
Curb appeal shouldn't suffer just because the weather turns cold. Keep window boxes and outdoor planters working for you all winter by substituting artificial stems, vines and evergreen boughs in place of fading petunias and mums. Outdoor planters arranged according to actual zone and growing season fool passersby into thinking that your artificial arrangements are actually the real deal.
Keep wire stems in place using a large piece of floral foam glued into the bottom of your planter. The key to building a classy outdoor faux arrangement lies in creating layers that mimic the real planting process. The goal is to achieve an arrangement that looks real, stays in place and has longevity. Attaching regular floral foam with glue creates a solid base to keep stems where you place them. As the seasons change and you update your designs, simply remove the stems and reuse the foam until it needs replacing.
Stay true to the planting zone and growing season if you want your curb appeal to look authentic. Invest in evergreen stems and give them a little touch of color using red or white berry stems or pinecones. If you're a novice gardener who's unsure what should be poking out of your window boxes come November, visit a local garden center to find seasonal ideas.
If you're going to make the investment in artificial flowers to fill your window boxes, go all-in. Spend a little more for ones that are made for outdoor display. This type of artificial stem has added protection from UV rays and is usually constructed of sturdier material. Your local craft store is the best source for artificial stems that look authentic. They typically offer much higher quality stems than dollar and discount stores.
An outdoor planter full of live flowers requires a layer of mulch to keep it green and lush. Go that extra step in creating your artificial arrangements by dropping in a pretty, colorful mulch once you've secured your stems in the floral foam. Add a few small stones for realism and interest and sit back to enjoy the boost your newly "planted" flower boxes add to your home's curb appeal.

Winners and finalists
Professor Jen Wilson
Culture award 2017 winner
Jen Wilson was born and brought up in Mount Pleasant in Swansea. She is a self-taught jazz pianist and accomplished jazz musician and composer, writer and archivist. For 50 years or more Jen has played a central role in promoting jazz music in Wales and in documenting its history and social impact – and in particular the role of women in jazz.
In the early 1980s Jen joined the Swansea Women's History Group as she became increasingly aware that ordinary women weren't visible in mainstream history and jazzwomen didn't feature in cultural histories. Jen's local research contributed knowledge of African American cultural interchange from the 1850s, e.g. café society and women's bands featured in the 2016 'How jazz came to Wales exhibition' in Swansea Museum.
Jen founded the registered charity Women in Jazz in 1986, continuing to add to her collection of oral histories, jazz sheet music, books, artefacts and records. Dame Cleo Laine became patron in 2003.
Notably her work has inspired radio programmes such as Alan Plater's 3-part drama for BBC Radio 4 (1991) 'Devil's Music' and Radio 4's 'The Lost Women of British Jazz', which was nominated for the Prix Europa in 2015 and came fifth. She was awarded the WCVA Wales Volunteer of the Year 2014, and the Point of Light Award from Prime Minister David Cameron in 2015. She has also been appointed Honorary Professor of Practice by University of Wales Trinity St David in 2016.

There's a better way to honor John Lewis than renaming the Edmund Pettus Bridge
Updated: Jan. 24, 2020, 9:10 a.m. | Published: Jan. 24, 2020, 9:08 a.m.
When marchers crossed the Edumund Pettus Bridge on Bloody Sunday, John Lewis walked in front. Now an online petition seeks to change the name of the bridge to honor him. (Archives, The Birmingham News)
By Kyle Whitmire | kwhitmire@al.com
This is an opinion column.
The Edmund Pettus Bridge has become shorthand for a flashpoint in American history — when African-Americans seized the birthright promised them by the Fifteenth Amendment, not by force, but by persistence and unblinking courage.
It's an image ingrained in our memory — white men with clubs and in uniforms, men who had sworn to uphold the law, beating marchers intent on fulfilling the law.
And there at the front of those marchers, John Lewis, then a young man from Troy, Alabama, wearing a tightly-knotted tie beneath a khaki trench coat, a backpack strapped over his shoulders. A state police officer cracked Lewis's skull that day.
We call it "Bloody Sunday," but it was Lewis's blood among all the others.
This month, Lewis — who has been in Congress for 32 years and has served as a national conscience in America's more misguided moments — announced he has pancreatic cancer. It's a disease that, for even people of such means as Steve Jobs, comes with a certain end.
To honor Lewis while there's time, an online petition has gathered more than 8,000 signatures of people all over the world asking Alabama to rename that bridge.
In addition to giving Lewis an honor while he lives, there's the parallel issue of whether the Pettus name belongs on the bridge in the first place. Pettus served as a colonel in the Confederate army. Although, he had a habit of getting caught by the Union and ended his service with what is suspected to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the leg. After the war, he served in the U.S. Senate, and also, as grand dragon of the Alabama Ku Klux Klan.
Despite the petitioners' excellent intentions, I'm not sure renaming the bridge for Lewis is a fitting honor, and my colleague Roy Johnson has made a compelling argument that the irony of the Edmund Pettus Bridge is a greater testament than the bridge's nameplate.
But even if …
Even if it were inarguably the right thing to do.
Even if those signatories could persuade Alabama to agree.
Even if the Department of Transportation or the Governor's office consented.
Even if …
What they ask would be illegal.
Because in Alabama we have a law against such things, right or wrong. Mostly wrong.
ADVANCE FOR TUESDAY, DEC. 28, AND YEAR-END EDITIONS -FILE- Alabama State troopers swing billy clubs to break up a civil rights voting march in Selma, Ala., March 7, 1965. Race has defined the Alabama of the last 100 years like nothing else. In Selma, officers beat back blacks attempting to cross the Edmund Pettus Bridge on a march to Montgomery. The graphic footage of the mayhem helped build support for the Voting Rights Act of 1965 which guaranteed ballot access to Southern blacks. (AP Photo) phph
In 2017, the Alabama Legislature passed the Memorial Preservation Act, which forbids "the relocation, removal, alteration, renaming, or other disturbance of any architecturally significant building, memorial building, memorial street, or monument located on public property."
As it often does, the Legislature passed a law without considering the consequences.
If the bridge were less than 40 years old, the Committee on Alabama Monument Protection could give a waiver to change the name, but the Edmund Pettus Bridge was built in 1940 and the state's monument law doesn't have another side door through which to allow an exception.
Now, there are buildings and structures throughout this state that even the governor may not change in any way, even to preserve them or make them useful in a modern age. In Birmingham, the city government isn't sure whether it can upgrade Legion Field, named in honor of the American Legion. The weather and time will likely have its way, instead.
The law is not practical, but worse, it's not moral.
Throughout Alabama, majority-black cities are being forced to memorialize and to honor men who fought to preserve slavery.
Men like Pettus.
It's an unjust law.
When John Lewis crossed that bridge in Selma, he did so to fight unjust laws. In his 32 years in Congress, he's stood in the way of unjust laws.
And yet, unjust laws remain.
If there's an appropriate honor for Lewis, it's not putting his name on that bridge in Selma. Instead, the greatest honor is to repeal the law that would keep Pettus' name there long after Lewis is gone.

camp here in Dakar as a result of the civil war that was fought in my country.
mail.Attached here is my picture and I will also like to see your picture.
Subject: Re MY LIFE STORY WITH LOVE AND TRUST.
I am happy in your reply to my mail.
How are you?, hope is alright, mine is a little bit boring.
In this camp we are only allowed to go out from the camp only on Mondays and Fridays of the week, its just like one staying in the prison and i hope by Gods grace i will be free someday, i don't have any relative now whom i can go to, all my relatives ran away in the middle of the war, the only person i have now is Rev. Gebrrel Jonson who is the pastor of the (Christ mission Assembly Int'l Churches) here in the camp, he has been very nice to me since i came here but i am not living with him rather i am leaving in the women's hostel because the camp have two hostels one for men the other for women.
The Pastors Tel number is (+221772198714)his email address is (gebrreljohnson@yahoo.com) if you call and tell him that you want to speak with me he will send for me in the hostel. As a refugee here i don't have any right or privileged to any thing be it money or whatever because it is against the law of this country, i want to go back to my studies because i only attended my first year before the tragic incident that lead to my being in this situation now took place.
Please listen to this,i have my late father's statement of account and death certificate here with me which i will send to you latter,because when he was alive he deposited some amount of money in one the leading banks in Europe which he used my name as the next of kin,the amount in question is $4.6 (four Million six Hundred Thousand US Dollars). So i will like you to help me transfer this money to your account and from it you can send some money for me to get my traveling documents and air ticket to come over to meet with you. I kept this secret to people in the camp here the only person that knows about it is the Reverend because he is like a father to me.
So in the light of above i will like you to keep it to yourself and don't tell it to anyone for i am afraid of loosing my life and the money if people gets to know about it.
Remember i am giving you all this information due to the trust i deposed on you, i like honest and understanding people and a man of vision,truth and hardworking, our main language is french but english is my favorite because i also speaks it fluently.

Greenhouse Operations
Agricultural Studies
Learn about education and training programs that can prepare you for a job in the field of greenhouse operations. Find out the job requirements and duties of greenhouse operations managers.
Are Greenhouse Operations for Me?
A greenhouse operations manager is called upon to decide the type, quantity and quality of plants to be grown in a greenhouse. This can involve the selection and purchase of seeds, fertilizers and other chemicals used to control pest infestations. They may also be involved in the planting, irrigating, pruning and harvesting of greenhouse plants, as well as diagnosing problems that plants may face. Greenhouse operations managers also run the daily operations of a greenhouse or nursery, requiring strong sales, marketing and other business skills.
Studies in greenhouse operations most commonly lead to careers within greenhouses and nurseries. In many cases, a career in greenhouse operations is associated with farming, horticultural or other agricultural occupations. For instance, you may find job opportunities in the areas of lawn and garden equipment retail, crop production, agricultural management and corporate farming. Some job titles you could qualify for include nursery or greenhouse manager, plant propagator, horticulturist and greenhouse supplies salesman.
The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) expected a 3% decline in the number of jobs for agricultural workers between 2012 and 2022 (www.bls.gov). Additionally, the BLS projected a 19% decline for agricultural managers, farmers and ranchers over this same period. The best job opportunities may be found in organic food production and horticulture, which the BLS reports as two of the fastest-growing segments within the agriculture industry. According to the BLS, the median annual salary as of May 2013 for farmers, ranchers and agricultural managers, including greenhouse managers, was $70,110, and greenhouse laborers and workers earned $18,710 during that same period.
How Can I Work in Greenhouse Operations?
Many agricultural workers learn their skills on the job; however, greenhouse and nursery managers often earn undergraduate degrees in the field. Many 2- and 4-year colleges and universities offer associate's or bachelor's degrees in horticulture that can prepare you for a career in greenhouse operations. Some schools offer concentrations in greenhouse or nursery operations within horticulture and other agricultural degree programs. Greenhouse diploma and certificate programs exist as well. Alternatively, you could pursue a degree in a closely related field, such as greenhouse management, horticulture technology or agricultural sciences.
Courses within greenhouse operations programs generally cover topics in agricultural management, plant science, plant diseases, horticulture production and marketing, as well as plant identification, pest management and greenhouse design. Most degree programs also offer practicums or internships to provide more hands-on career preparation. These internships and practicums can take place in a variety of sites, including stormwater detention facilities, medicinal and rainwater gardens and companies and organizations that are part of the agricultural business community. Beyond formal educational training, you may consider earning professional credentials. For instance, the American Society of Farm Managers and Rural Appraisers offers specialized accreditation as an Accredited Farm Manager or Accredited Agricultural Consultant, which requires meeting education and experience requirements, as well as passing an exam (www.asfmra.org).

Q: How to measure graphics performance while drawing in JS? I have a relatively simple website (small browser game) that does not perform well. Its graphic part is flickering and I'd like to measure how long it takes to draw different elements.
I draw in the method triggered by
window.requestAnimationFrame(() => this.drawAll());

To measure time, I've added to my drawing functions elements that capture the current time:
let t0 = new Date().getTime();
...
let t1 = new Date().getTime();
...
let t2 = new Date().getTime();

The intent was to display the delta between those numbers in the console, but the problem is that if you do it in the real-time console just freezes.
The idea I have is to accumulate time information and display it once a second (or for every 100 refresh cycles), but I'm wondering if there is any better way to do so?
Thanks!
EDIT: Idea to accumulate information did not work well: each part I'm concerned about is rendered decently fast and new Date().getTime() only counts milliseconds. The alternative is to use 'performance.now()' - it counts fractions of ms.

A: I hate leaving questions without the answer.
Due to lack of better responses, I'll convert 'EDIT' part of the question to an answer:
I did end up with a few improvements to the idea:

*

*Use 'performance.now()' instead of 'new Date().getTime()' to capture time

*Don't output time snippets to console on every render event, but instead accumulate the duration of events in static variables as well as count the number of render events. When the counter reaches 100 (or any number that can help reasonably indicate performance difference) output accumulated data to console.

something like this:
static performanceEventCounter=0;
static duration1=0;
static duration2=0;

render() {
    let t0=performance.now();
    ...
    let t1=performance.now();
    ...
    let t2=performance.now();
    duration1+=t1-t0;
    duration2+=t2-t1;
    if(++performanceEventCounter>100) {
        console.log('duration1=${duration1}, duration2=${duration2}');
        performanceEventCounter=0;
        duration1=0;
        duration2=0;
    }

I've tried (in a loop)
awk '{ORS=(NR==1?"":"\n")}1 ' file

but I get
                                                comb12.NCs.genes.fstV1  V2      V3      V4      A       B       FST

It fuses the first two lines as in line1line2

A: Save the info from line 1 and then unleash it when you get to line 2. After that just let the default action print the lines as they are.
$ awk 'NR==1{f = $NF} NR==2{print $0 f} NR>2' file
V1      V2      V3      V4      A       B       FSTcomb12.NCs.genes.fst

A: Could you please try following too.
awk 'FNR==1{val=$1;next} FNR==2{$0=$0 val} 1' Input_file | column -t

Output will be as follows.
