I love the Sounds like Fun CD by Barbara Milne and have been singing these tunes to my children for over 19 years! The Alphabet Sounds Song by Barbara Milne is a nice quiet time or bed time song and is the first song that I use to introduce phonics to my children.
When I sing my babies to sleep, I follow The Alphabet Sounds Song with Barbara Milne's I Love You So Much. This song became a comfort song to each of my children. When my toddler wakes up frightened, he asks me to "sing the I Love You song" to him. I still have the original Discovery Toys tape cassette Sounds Like Fun, which includes these two songs as well as many other learning songs interspersed with nursery rhymes, sung in the same sweet, calming manner. If you have a child who likes to fall asleep listening to music, or if you like to have background music during play time, this is a wonderful CD.
Discovery Toys now sells these songs under the title Sounds Like Learning, but I have to admit that I liked the original title better. I think the new title probably appeals more to the Baby Einstein crowd, but for a limited time you can buy the original CD for $15.00 or buy it in a bundle, along with 4 other Barbara Milne CD's for $25.00 at IQ Boosters.
I now use Barbara Milne's CDs to keep my toddler in bed in the evening. I allow him to listen to a CD only if he stays in bed and it works like a charm! And it feels so much better as a parent to say, "If you stay in bed, you can listen to music" than "If you get out of bed, x will happen".
Oh, and your child does not care if you can sing in tune or get the lyrics right. Sometimes when I am singing without the CD, I get to a letter and cannot remember what word I am supposed to sing, so I just improvise. And I cannot carry a tune. At all! I am so bad that once my kids are older and have had some musical training, I can use singing as a form of punishment. Seriously. However, my babies love for me to sing to them for the first 3 -5 years of their life (the one who stopped liking my voice at 3 has perfect pitch, but even he liked it up until then).

My son loves numbers! One day after reading his favorite counting book, Chicka, Chicka 123, I helped him create his own apple tree for the numbers to climb. He really enjoys doing art projects based on his favorite books, so while it is not fancy, it was lots of fun, easy, and inexpensive.
We just made a rough cut out of a tree that he glued to a piece of paper with a glue stick. He did his best to cut different color circles to use for apples. Then he drew numbers "climbing" the tree. If he did not like trying to write numbers so much, I would have given him number stickers to use.
What are your favorite counting or number related books? Do you have any favorites that I have missed?

I often overhear parents say, "I would like to read to my child more, but he/she (let's face it, it is usually a he) just won't sit still". As a former reading lady and mother of several wiggly children, I thought I would link up to Works For Me Wednesday to share some of the tricks that I use to read to wiggly children.
First, I start reading to my children long before they can escape (within days of birth). The earlier you start reading to your children, the more likely it is to seem like a regular daily activity like eating or bathing.
My husband gasping while reading "Two beetles gasped and ran away" from Miss Spider's Tea Party: The Counting Book .
Alternate reading with an action song. When my son is wiggly, we follow Miss Spider's Tea Party: The Counting Book with the Itsy Bitsy Spider, then read The Very Busy Spider and follow it up with several rounds of Old McDonald's Farm.
If they don't want to sit on your lap, don't make them. Read like the reading lady: Turn the book outward and let your child move about the room while you read. They will look up occasionally to see a picture and they will hear and retain much more than you think possible. Last week my son said, "You keep reading. I will be back; I am going to climb under the bed".
Take advantage of the times when you have a captive audience. Read during meal times. Have an older sibling read to your toddler while he is strapped in the car seat.
My husband reading to the children at dinner time.
Let them act out a book while you read a book like Five Little Monkeys Jumping on the Bed or Ten in the Bed.
Children are more likely to want to hear a story that they were involved in choosing. Let them pick out a book at the library or thrift shop.
Give them a choice between reading and something you know they don't want to do. I sometimes ask my toddler, "would you like to read a book or clean your room?'" Let them bamboozle you into reading "one more book" before bedtime. Once they are "reading", let them sneak a little extra reading time before they fall asleep. Nothing is more enticing than a forbidden activity!
I realize the ideas in the last paragraph are somewhat controversial. Some people may view them as deceptive or encouraging deception. You did read the title of this blog, right? Covert Teaching sometimes requires subversive methods.
How do you read to your wiggly children?

Edited to change wriggle to wiggle after realizing that not everybody has teenagers who like to imitate Gollum in their household.
One of the best ways I have found to encourage my children to write and draw is to help them make their own book. The directions below are for the first book I help my children make. It is fast, easy, and only requires 8 x 11 paper and scissors. If you are a perfectionist, you may want to use a ruler and a pen, if not, just eyeball your cuts.
1. Take 6 – 10 pieces of 8x11 paper and divide them into 2 equal stacks.
2. Fold each stack in half so that they are 5 1/2" x 8".
3. Unfold, and mark a 1 inch line on both ends of the center fold (you just have to do this on the top paper of each stack): 4. On one stack cut on the lines: 5. On the other stack cut on the fold between the lines, being careful not to cut on the lines: 6. Take the stack of paper on which you cut on the lines and loosely roll them: 7. Insert the rolled paper, through the gap in the other stack of paper: 8. Gently unroll the paper and insert the uncut portion into the notches: 9. Fold the paper and you now have a blank book for your child to start filling up: Andrew is filling his book with pictures of his favorite things.
How do you encourage your children to write and draw?

This falls under the heading of "can't she just throw some things away?" If you have ever read my blog Premeditated Leftovers, then you know the answer to that question is no.
I poured a little washable paint in the containers, put the lids on, and let my son go to town: If the paint pot tips over, the lipped lid prevents the paint from running all over the place.
I don't empty the paint out of the pots; I just let them slowly dry out inside the salad container. Since the paint is water based, I just add a little water and mix it in with a paint brush when he wants to paint.
How do you minimize arts and craft messes with your children?


On most days the mountain whispers, softly, reassuringly. Then there are those rare days where it will declare itself with such an exclamation of exquisite beauty that you are lost for words.
A few short years ago I found myself at a very low point in my life. The details of that are not for this blog as of course I have long moved from that unhappy place and my life is immeasurably rich and full, for myself and my children. It was during this sad time however that I found myself once again taking refuge on my precious mountain.
I had climbed up a new section abandoning any paths and made my way up through the long grass and rocks. I had no destination point in mind, I just needed to climb, mechanically, one foot in front of the other. As my route became more difficult I leopard crawled, pulling myself over rocks and roots, avoiding the brambles and trying not to think about snakes.
The section near the top was quite difficult and I remember thinking at that point that I must be mad. There were two Pine trees near the top, whispering in the beautiful way that Pine trees do. As I made my way up and over the lip of the koppie and out on to the top, I remember just standing there, mesmerized, gazing at the treasure before my eyes.
There was a little copse of Protea bushes, I think 'Protea caffra' or perhaps 'Protea simplex" as they were not very big. They were at the height of their flowering which would have been beautiful enough, but each flower was a buzz with so much life. Various insects – bees and beetles of all kinds, were busily gorging themselves on the sugary nectar. As for the sun birds, they were so busy feasting on this smorgasbord that they paid no attention to me. This was my first sighting of a Malachite sun bird. His beautiful gem green feathers shiny and iridescent in the sun. I was awestruck.
I have safely kept this picture memory stored in my heart. I take it out often. I have cherished this experience as a gift – a precious promise.

State's highest court upholds Fishers Island Town Board seat
By Tim Kelly
TIM KELLY PHOTO | Fishers Island Justice Louisa Evans, shown taking the oath of office from Justice Rudolph Bruer last year, will continue to serve as a judge and Town Board member.
The New York Court of Appeals, the state's highest court, has ruled that a state statute giving the Fishers Island town justice a seat on the Town Board is a rational approach to providing legislative representation to islanders who live closer to Connecticut than they do to the North Fork.
In a unanimous decision released Thursday, the seven justices upheld two lower court rulings that also endorsed the judge's unique dual responsibilities.
The decision came in response to a challenge lodged by former Democratic Councilman Dan Ross, who made the case the central issue in his unsuccessful 2009 election run against incumbent Island Justice Louisa Evans, a Republican.
Mr. Ross, who was unavailable for comment this week, said state law required him to be a candidate to challenge the requirement that the judge live on Fishers Island. Had he won the seat, the Mattituck attorney would have had to establish island residency by Jan. 1, 2010.
He argued that the island's 289 full time residences, who make up only 1.5 percent of the town's population, enjoy representation out of proportion with their numbers.
In rejecting that argument, the Court of Appeals said the residency requirement imposes "only reasonable, nondiscriminatory restrictions on the rights of Southold voters."
The court also pointed out that the justice is chosen by all Southold voters, not just island residents and any Southold resident can run for the seat.
It further noted that in two similar cases, the U.S. Supreme Court rejected the argument that residency requirements violate the Constitution's equal protection clause.
"The Supreme Court recognized that a state has a legitimate interest in assuring an elected representative is familiar with the unique problems of a specific geographic area," the Court of Appeals decision said.
In a previous interview, Mr. Ross noted that if he failed to prevail in the state courts he could petition the U.S. Supreme Court to hear his appeal, but that he has not made a decision on that.
Riverhead attorney Patrick Fife, who represents two Fishers Island residents who opposed Mr. Ross's candidacy, said the ruling "hit the nail on the head. The justice is a representative of the town, not just of the island, and that's what makes it constitutional."
He added that his clients, Arthur Walsh and Nina Schmid, "are very happy that their efforts to have their long standing historic connection to town government is maintained."

Q: How to correctly display image in Kotlin from firebase storage and firestore I'm working on a project that use Firebase Storage and Firestore. I added function that allows to upload images from phone gallery to Storage and storage url of this image is saved in Firestore with some other informations. Everything works fine, even the image url in firestore displays selected image correctly in browser. The problem is when i try to set this image to ImageView using Glide or Picasso, because it only shows a blank image/placeholder. This is how my repository functions looks to add and download data:
override fun addProject(uri: Uri, project: Project) {
    val imagesRef = storage.reference.child("images/${uri.lastPathSegment}")
    Log.d("firebase ref url", imagesRef.toString())
    imagesRef.putFile(uri).addOnCompleteListener {
        Log.d("firebase image", "Succesfully uploaded")
        imagesRef.downloadUrl.addOnSuccessListener { uri->
                project.photoUrl = uri.toString()
                db.collection("projects").add(project)
        }
    }.addOnFailureListener {
        Log.d("firebase image", "Unsuccessfully uploaded")
    }
}

override suspend fun getProjects(): List<Project> {
    val projectList = mutableListOf<Project>()
    val projectRef = db.collection("projects")
    val snapshot = projectRef.get().await()
    val docs = snapshot.documents
    docs.forEach {
        val project = it.toObject(Project::class.java)
        if (project != null) {
            projectList.add(project)
            Log.d("firebase listen", projectList.toString())
        }
    }

    return projectList

}

firebase storage
firebase firestore
After i retrieve all projects with their photoUrl and other informations i want to display them in recycler view using ListAdapter. Title and description are displayed correctly in every recycler view item but it seems like this url can't be accessed by glide/ picasso . There is also a log line which shows photoUrl and if I click on it from logcat the browser displays correct image.
fun bind(project: Project) {
    binding.apply {
        Log.d("recycler view url", project.photoUrl)
        // Picasso.get().load(project.photoUrl).into(projectIv)
        Glide.with(binding.root).load(project.photoUrl).into(projectIv)
        titleTv.text = project.name
        descriptionTv.text = project.description
    }
    binding.executePendingBindings()
}

I have found some related topics but still haven't found working solution to that problem.
EDIT
Log result inside recyclerview bind method:
Log resylt
After clicking on link:
Link result
How it looks in my app:
app screenshot 1
app screenshot 2
It looks like it only takes the photo size parameters but can't resolve the photo content, but i'm not sure

The Lumberjack, March 1, 2012.
Editorial&Opinion
10 The Lumberjack | NorthernArizonaNews.com
Consider the case in which a child at a public place is
wreaking havoc: He runs around the store loudly and
uncontrollably, his use of language is distasteful and
profane and his lack of manners cannot be properly attributed
to his ignorance or innocence. Because of his relatively older
age society does not expect him to behave in this manner. The
disruption has been going on for a long time, the mother looks
worried, embarrassed and desperate; she kneels next to her
child while he pauses in the midst of his fit
to catch some air and she proposes, "Honey,
please calm down and be good. If you do, I'll
buy you chocolate." The child is silenced.
To some, this very proposition may be
far more outraging than the disruptive be-havior,
and "That's why he behaves that way,"
may well be the justified rationale of many.
Despite the disruption ceasing and the peace
being restored — despite the overwhelmingly enjoyable ben-efits
of restored quiet; a little concept called ethics, which ex-ists
in the deepest darkest corners of our being, is reduced at
the sight of such injustice. When we begin rewarding negative
behavior, surely there must be a flaw in logic. Were it legal and
reasonable, the child would deserve a good rearing.
Pedagogical and psychological developments, that is,
civilization, has indicated physical violence is not neces-sarily
corrective or good, but then what other means do we
have of restoring peace and order? At this point it becomes
crucial to examine the common sense notion of ethics, and
to weigh the costs and benefits of negotiating with rascals as
a last resort, when the positive outcome is highly desired and
needed immediately. Although a disruptive child has very few
connections to serial killers, the concept of rewarding nega-tive
behavior has been made a reality in a far more important,
much more controversial realm in California's Central Valley.
According to NPR, Wesley Shermantine, who was convicted
in 1999, along with an accomplice, for the murder of four peo-ple
is suspected to have murdered over 20 people during his
days as a free citizen. Naturally, the families were devastated
and the anxiety of uncertainty concerning the whereabouts of
their loved ones must be arresting and inhibit them from their
daily life routines. In an effort to bring closure to these families,
a bounty hunter in California offered Shermantine $33,000 in
exchange for information about the burying sites of victims.
Now, not all of the money will be wired directly to the convict's
checking account. The majority of it will go to families of vic-tims
as monetary restitution, which is also a little odd, but it's
better to grieve with money than to grieve without.
Reporter Richard Gonzales says, "Whatever money re-mains
is available for the inmate's personal items, including
junk food and a TV." As illustrated by the past analogy, our
society worries about the ethical implications and rational
motivations that underlie rewarding negative behavior. Maybe
otherwise-compliant citizens will see new reasons to disobey
the law, in the name of TV and fried pork-skins. Although it
may sound radical, rewarding negative behavior with bribery
to a child is much more severe than rewarding a death-row
convict. First, the child has a lifetime ahead to be corrected, so
the spoiling now will worsen and result in unnecessary conse-quences
later. Second, there is no punishment whatsoever to
this kid, which may motivate other children to disobey their
parents — the inmate has already been sentenced to the death
penalty; a more severe and legal consequence is inconceivable
in our society.
Then, without recourse to torture, and with a legitimate
desire to gather information, California is well-justified in
bribing the facts out of its convict. How will society see this?
Well, if citizens murder people and then coerce the state for
monetary exchange, they can watch PBS while they patiently
await the injection. The fear of death far outweighs the desire
for junk food and television, unless American society has col-lapsed
to an unsalvageable degree, and it hasn't. There is no
slippery slope to fear in these cases.

Within the vast digital realm of the Internet, trending top-ics
and popular subjects are in constant abundance. The
premier web craze at the moment happens to be the meme,
an often-humorous photo, illustration or idea that spreads rapidly
through social media sites to all corners of the World Wide Web.
To put it simply, memes are great. They can be applied to virtu-ally
any situation or circumstance, and contain nearly limitless pos-sibilities.
Some of the more popular memes include Forever Alone,
Scumbag Steve, High Expectations Asian Dad, the Y U No? guy and
Insanity Wolf. Each of these images has been utilized countless times
within the constantly evolving world of Internet memes.
One of the best parts about memes, aside from the instant rec-ognition
factor, is how they are incredibly easy to make. All you need
is a meme photo template, rudimentary photo editing skills, and
something to make fun of and you're well on your way to becoming a
formidable meme artist.
Entire websites devoted to meme building have sprouted up all
over over the place, allowing even the most uncomputer savvy indi-vidual
to share his/her wit with the world through the joy of online
media. We here at The Lumberjack have decided to try our hand at
meme building, and have constructed three memes for your enter-tainment
pleasure. Enjoy. To check out more memes and share your
own with the student population, check out the NAU Meme Face-book

Here is a technique that serves two purposes: first, to help you stay mindful of your breath. Second, to help you hold a posture for a set amount of time (which is especially important to ensure you are staying balanced on the left and right, holding postures for the same amount of time on each side).
The 4 hand positions, or mudras of touching the fingers to the thumb, can be linked to the breath to keep track of the time you are in each pose. In essence, holding postures for at least 4 breaths to begin with. As you get stronger and stronger, you can add more breath and repeat the mudra sequence a second and third time.
Each Mudra helps to cultivate a specific feeling, and represents an archetypal meaning.
Gyan Mudra, touching the index finger to the thumb, makes you feel connected to something greater. "Gyan" means "wisdom" or "enlightenment" in sanskrit. The thumb, represents divine energy. The index finger (or "Jupiter finger") represents the self, or ego. Bringing these two together gives one the feeling of touching the divine. This mudra depicts a similar image as Michelangelo's "The Creation of Adam," where God's finger is connected to Man's. There is a wonderful circular nature that the breathe takes when these two fingers touch, which is extremely soothing to the body.
Shuni Mudra, touching the middle finger to the the thumb, brings patience. "Shuni" means "Saturn." In astrology, Saturn is the planet that makes you disciplined. It has to work the hardest to circle the sun being so far away. This mudra gives you the sensation of stability and strength. To breathe with this mudra cultivate perserverence.
Surya Mudra, touching the ring finger to the thumb, brings energy. "Surya" means "Sun," and this mudra brings health and vitality to the body. It is also known for speeding up the metabolism, resonating with the third chakra to stimulate digestion. To breath with this mudra is energizing.
Buddhi Mudra, touching the pinky finger to the thumb, brings mental clarity. "Buddhi" means "higher mind" or "intellect" (it follows the same etymology as the word "Buddha"). The pinky finger is referred to as the mercury finger. Mercury being the message bearer, quick witted, and able to communicate. This mudra helps with gaining higher understanding and discerning intuitive messages to gain knowledge.
In my morning class, I had the students do a familiar sequence we had been working on all week, but I added these 4 mudras to each posture. They completed each mudra for a full breath. So as they came into Warrior II, they turned their palms up and touched their index finger to their thumb on their first breath coming into Gyan Mudra. Then as they began their second breath I had them touch their middle finger to their thumb coming into Shuni Mudra. Then on the third breath, they touched their ring finger to their thumb coming into Surya Mudra. Finally touching their pinky finger to their thumb on their fourth breath coming into Buddhi Mudra. Upon completeing the four breaths, the class would transisition to the next posture beginning the whole series of Mudras again. This practice brought a new element of concentration to each pose and the classes breath deepened dramatically and felt more united.
The Yoga sutras say while in the posture one should focus on God. This takes that statement one step further and allows you to open your hands to the varying aspects of the divine. While practicing yoga you are able to contemplate enlightenment with Gyan Mudra, patience with Shuni Mudra, energy with Surya Mudra, and intuition with Buddhi Mudra.
All integral elements to a spiritual journey.

Q: iOS: Best way of dealing with global properties What is the best way to declare global variables in Swift? I am using Singletons to hold objects in memory. Besides I can access them from everywhere.
But since arrays are not thread-safe in swift, does this pattern also tackle concurrency? Are there better ways of storing e.g. network resources in global properties?
E.g.
class Repository {

    static let sharedInstance = Repository()

    var objects:[String] = []
}

A: Reading an array across threads is safe. It's the writing that is not. See this question for how to access array in thread-safe manner.
Your method to implement a shared instance is too verbose and will be deprecated in Swift 3. Use lazy initialization instead:
class Repository {
    static var sharedInstance = { Void -> Repository in
        let tmp = Repository()
        tmp.objects = ["Hello", "World"]
        return tmp
    }()

    var objects:[String] = []
}


We were accused of not being edgy, but to be honest as far as the shows, competitions & lectures that were on offer I can't find much to complain about. On the whole it was a great convention.
Dealers, Mat has mentioned this so just quickly. IBM please be aware dealers come to these conventions to sell, so if you don't leave some gaps in the programme for we magis to go puruse then at some point they won't come anymore, I see this year there were already quite a few empty stalls and missing faces.
Mistakes, there were quite a few errors in the program and the mini program didn't quite match the main one. Also I booked 3 tickets for the gala, I was only given 1 (really bad seat) then when complained I was given more more (bad seats) but not with the orginal, so the friends (yes I have some) I invited had to sit elsewhere.
One last point to make, I heard that if numbers of conventioneers doesn't increase then the money may run out in two years and no more conventions, I don't know how true this is as it was just gossip, but surely it's a good reason for you to support the next one. JMHO.

Hamilton wins crazy Saudi GP to level with Verstappen; Stroll is 11th

Lewis Hamilton won a crazy, twice-halted Saudi Arabian Grand Prix on Sunday to send the Formula One world championship into a winner-takes-all final showdown with the Mercedes driver and Red Bull's Max Verstappen level on points.
On a chaotic night of soaring emotions in Jeddah, the inaugural race in the Gulf kingdom took almost as many twists and turns as an already astonishing and enthralling roller-coaster season.
Hamilton wins crazy Saudi GP to level with Verstappen; Stroll is 11th Back to video
There were crashes, safety cars, red flags, claims of dirty driving after Hamilton hit the back of Verstappen's suddenly slowing car, penalties, collisions and extraordinary exchanges between race director Michael Masi and the top two teams.
Seven-time world champion Hamilton took the bonus point for fastest lap to level with Verstappen at 369.5 points after 21 races.
The final round of the season is at Abu Dhabi's Yas Marina next weekend.
Lance Stroll of Montreal finished the race in 11th place.
Verstappen, who finished second with Valtteri Bottas third for Mercedes, leads 9-8 on wins — meaning the Dutch 24-year-old will be champion if neither score another point.
"I tried to be as tough as I could be out there, but also sensible and with all my race experience over the years, just keeping the car on track and staying clean," said Hamilton after his 103rd career win.
The Briton started on pole, but twice lost out to Verstappen at standing restarts.
The Dutch driver was eventually ordered to hand back the lead, after going wide as Hamilton tried to pass, but when he slowed Hamilton ran into the back of him — accusing his rival of "brake-testing" him.
Red Bull boss Christian Horner defended his driver: "I don't know why he ran into the back of you like that, it made no sense," he said over the radio.
Stewards handed Verstappen a five-second time penalty, but Hamilton rendered that irrelevant by overtaking seven laps from the end.
Mercedes was angry with Masi, saying they had not been given time to inform Hamilton that Verstappen had been told to give the place back, and Verstappen was also furious.
"What happened today is unbelievable and this sport is more about penalties than racing. For me, this is not Formula One," said the Dutchman, who was awarded Driver of the Day in a fan vote.
"That was spectacular, but not a good race," said Mercedes team boss Toto Wolff.

Largest U.S. Navy destroyer arrives in Victoria
USS Zumwalt's crew pays B.C. a visit
Nina Grossman
Mar. 12, 2019 11:15 a.m.
An unusual looking U.S. Navy destroyer docked at the Canadian Forces Base Esquimalt in Victoria on Monday.
The 600-foot-long, 16,000-ton USS Zumwalt is the U.S. Navy's largest destroyer, built with new technologies to "take the U.S. Navy into the future."
USS Zumwalt's commanding officer Capt. Andrew Carlson said he and the crew are excited to explore Victoria. The ship docked at CFB Esquimalt on Monday afternoon. (Nina Grossman/News Staff)
Designed to support ground forces in land attacks, the Zumwalt was launched in 2013 from Maine as the Navy's lead ship of its newest destroyer class. It is the first of three Zumwalt-class destroyers, intended to support special operations forces and joint and combined expeditionary forces.
Now, its home base is San Diego and it holds a small crew – currently, only 145 people work aboard the USS Zumwalt.
Its unique shape and antenna arrangement help to hide it from enemy radar and its all-electric integrated power system and advanced gun system – a GPS-guided six-inch gun – are designed to fire projectiles up to 63-nautical miles. The shape of the tumblehome hull helps it to break through waves.
"[USS Zumwalt] is one of the newest platforms in the United States Navy," said commanding officer Capt. Andrew Carlson. "It's equipped with cutting edge technology in its combat systems, its weapon systems and its engineering control systems."
RELATED: Three Navy ships deploy from CFB Esquimalt Wednesday
But technology isn't the only thing that sets the vessel apart from other ships of its class.
The ship was named for Adm. Elmo R. Zumwalt Jr., who served as chief of naval operations from 1970 to 1974 and was known for advocating for the inclusion of woman and people of colour within the Navy.
Lt. Briana Wildemann said Zumwalt helped to make the U.S. Navy what it is today.
"He's part of the reason I'm on this ship," said Wildemann, as she explained how the ship's sleeping quarters are built for smaller groups of sailors – so the number of women on board isn't restricted as it could be on ships with a maximum number of female-designated beds.
"This ship is the ship that is taking the Navy into the future. This ship has 11 different systems on board," Wildemann said. "This is the first and only time the Navy has put that many new systems or ideas on one platform. We're really learning what we can, taking the pros and cons of all those systems … and shaping what the future vessels are going to look like for the U.S. Navy."
The USS Zumwalt missile destroyer is expected to be docked at CFB Esquimalt for the next week or so while the crew explores Victoria and showcases the vessel.
Carlson said he and the crew "are very excited to be here … to experience the local culture and engage with the community."

After nearly a decade of false starts, multiple game plans veering off the rails, and a handful of shattered hopes and/or dreams, the odyssey is finally complete—the new Fusetron site is here.
This is the first phase of a multipart rollout that will span the next few months: the currently browsable stock includes miscellaneous new releases from the past 8+ months (we have a lot of catching up to do), plus approximately a third of our backstock. Note that we've reduced/slashed prices on many titles and will continue to do so in order to make room for new stock. We'll also be expanding / tweaking / improving / debugging the site itself (for example, we still have work to do on the automated international postage system, not to mention the inevitable inventory discrepancies that come with transferring an ancient and massive database to a new system).
Over the next few months, as we take inventory, clean house, and delve into our storage, we will be uploading thousands of additional items, gradually, on a near-daily basis. This will include the majority of the LPs, as well as many titles, in all formats, once thought long-gone. Many currently "sold out" items are likely to resurface.
Finally, once our general backstock is up (probably in the next two or three months) we'll begin making our extensive stockpile of rarities available online for the first time: tons of random out-of-print titles, "deadstock," warehouse finds, secondhand collectibles, etc., accumulated over the past few decades.
Frequent/returning customers will be getting early access to these items. Details to follow on how this will work (a priority mailing list? a 'frequent flyer'-like program?), but it will not be based on dollars spent. We want to reward those who consistently support us, especially in the discogs marketplace era (to those who show up trying to poach five copies of a one-off rarity, and nothing else, ever… ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ).
So—we suggest you take some time to dig through the site—even we've been surprised by what's been turning up, and there's much more to come.
I understand these terms


This soft, loose-fit design is perfect over denim, slim leg pants, jeggings, or capris, with extra length for added coverage.

Q: League Fractal including multiple nested relationships How can I include multiple child relationships using ?include=?
Example:
/store/1?include=books.author:downloads
The result would produce:
[
    id: 1,
    name: 'Book Name',
    author: {
        data: {
            id: 1,
            name: 'Author name'
        }
    },
    downloads: {
        data: {
            weekly: 100,
            monthly: 1000
        }
    }
]

I left out most of the object, just the core of what I'm requesting.

A: As it turns out you simply include books twice and it knows to merge them together.
So:
/store/1?include=books.author,books.downloads
It would be nice to have that documented somewhere. If it is and I've missed it please let me know.

Reading Note:
¶ How long have been putting off reading Randall Jarrell's Pictures from an Institution? I know that my antennae, which are hardly ever mistaken, have warned me for years that this "hilarious campus satire" is not as funny as all that.
I ought to keep a list of supposedly funny books that are not as funny as all that. Lucky Jim would top the list.
My antennae were not wrong about Jarrell's comedy. It is clearly the work of a poet, and often cast in a limpid beauty that would have annoyed me when, as a callow youth, I howled with delight at the horrible things, described in exquisite terms, that happened in Evelyn Waugh's earlier novels. I was a sort of cannibal of humor in those days, stomping with rhythmic appreciation around the kettle in which deserving targets were being fricaseed. There is a moment, toward the end of Pictures from an Institution, in which a young woman, reading "The Juniper Tree," a tale from the Brothers Grimm, is so persuasively moved to tears that I was moved to tears — I'd have hated that when I was twenty. So I suppose I held back on Jarrell until the time was right.
Pictures from an Institution is one of those books that has its funny moments, some of them — the entire (if short) chapter, "Art Night," for example — sublimely so. But what I treasure most is the passage about a retired (actually very ancient) lieder singer — a witty woman who is never, not for one second, a target.
When she sang you decided that a singer does after all need a voice to sing, but you did not decide this until several minutes after she had finished singing. Even her breathing was unmistakable, so that her hearers would feel, in senseless pleasure: "Who else in all the world would have thought of breathing there?" She did what she did because there was nothing else possible to do, and when she had done it she did not know what she had done: or so you felt, hearing. this was a delusion, of course; she once talked for half an hour about Lehmann's, Schiøtz's and her ways of singing the song from the Dichterliebe that begins, Ich grolle nicht. (164)
By this point in the novel, having spent a good deal of time with the singer and her composer husband, you understand that, while any three singers anywhere might passionately compare performance notes, these three interpreters had taken it for granted that their ways of singing would have met with the approval of Goethe.

MYRA M. ALINTANA DE PACETE, Complainant, v. JUDGE JOSEFINO A. GARILLO, MCTC-Calintaan, Occidental Mindoro, Respondent.
PER CURIAM:
Respondent, Judge Josefino A. Garillo, of the Municipal Circuit Trial Court, Calintaan, Occidental Mindoro, is charged of dishonesty, violation of the Anti-Graft and Corrupt Practices Act, 1 and violation of the Code of Judicial Conduct.chanrob1es virtua1 1aw 1ibrary
In her complaint, 2 Myra Alintana de Pacete averred that sometime in 1994, her father-in-law, Ricardo Pacete, mortgaged three (3) hectares of agricultural land to one of his daughters-in-law, Kemimakrin V. Pacete, on the condition that Ricardo would redeem his land after five (5) years. Subject of the mortgage is a land located at Barangay Salvacion, Rizal, Occidental Mindoro.
When the redemption date neared, Ricardo Pacete borrowed from complainant P47,000 to pay to Kemimakrin. To obtain the amount Ricardo needed, the complainant secured P40,000 from the Salvacion United Farmer's Cooperative and supplied P7,000 from her own funds. On the redemption date, however, Kemimakrin refused to accept the P47,000, contending that she had earlier paid off a prior mortgage on the land. 3
Failing to arrive at an amicable settlement of the dispute after undergoing conciliatory proceedings under the Katarungang Pambarangay, the parties were given a certification allowing them to file a civil action. 4
The complainant alleged that it was then that she approached the respondent judge. Respondent required her to deposit with him the P47,000 so he can issue summons to Kemimakrin. She complied and gave said amount to respondent at his residence in San Jose, Occidental Mindoro. 5
On May 31, 2000, Ricardo Pacete formally filed his complaint for tender of payment and consignation 6 before respondent's sala. The case was docketed as Civil Case No. 76. After Kemimakrin filed her answer, 7 respondent required Ricardo Pacete to deposit an additional amount of P31,000. Since Ricardo Pacete did not have the required amount, he approached complainant and borrowed said amount. Ricardo then personally handed the P31,000 cash to Respondent. 8
Contrary to his protestations, according to complainant, the respondent failed to give the deposited sums of money (totaling P78,000) to Kemimakrin. According to the complainant, the respondent also never returned to his sala where they waited for him. Later, she demanded the return of the money. 9
On October 5, 2000, respondent wrote the Salvacion United Farmer's Cooperative acknowledging receipt of the P78,000 from the complainant. He explained that the money was stolen from him and asked for some consideration. In a second letter, the respondent wrote that he was going to attend a convention in Manila and that he would have money ready by the time he returned. Failing to make good his promise, respondent again wrote another letter on March 26, 2001 promising to pay complainant after two (2) weeks. Again, he still failed to pay. In his fourth letter to her, the respondent made another promise. Yet again, he failed to pay. 10chanrob1es virtua1 1aw 1ibrary
Complainant stated that the interest on her loan from the Salvacion United Farmer's Cooperative continues to accrue, and she is slowly being buried in debt. 11
In his comment 12 dated May 24, 2002, respondent admitted having received a total of P78,000 deposited with him as redemption price for the mortgaged property subject of Civil Case No. 76 pending before his court. He also admitted having lost the money, but declared that he did not misappropriate it. He explained that on his way to the town of Rizal, he stopped at a gasoline station to fill the tank of his service jeep. He went to the counter to pay for the gasoline and placed the envelope containing the records of the case and the money over the glass counter. He then went to look for other items he needed inside the store and when he returned to the counter, he was surprised to discover that the envelope had vanished. His efforts to locate the money inside the store proved futile. It was then that it dawned upon him that he had been the victim of larceny.
For his negligence, the respondent begged for this Court's indulgence and promised to pay the complainant the P78,000 with interest.
In its report 13 dated November 22, 2002, the Office of the Court Administrator (OCA), through Court Administrator Presbitero J. Velasco Jr., found the respondent liable for violating Supreme Court Circular No. 50-95 and the Code of Judicial Conduct, and recommended the penalty of dismissal.
On January 15, 2003, 14 this Court resolved to re-docket the case as a regular administrative matter.
This Court agrees with the findings of the OCA that the respondent violated Circular No. 50-95. 15 Said Circular provides that all collections from bail bonds, rental deposits, and other fiduciary collections shall be deposited with the Land Bank of the Philippines by the Clerk of Court concerned, within 24 hours upon receipt thereof. 16 In localities where there are no branches of the Land Bank of the Philippines, fiduciary collections shall be deposited by the Clerk of Court with the Provincial, City, or Municipal Treasurer. 17 Deposits shall be made in the name of the Court, with its Clerk of Court and the Executive Judge as authorized signatories. 18
These provisions are mandatory and designed to promote full accountability for government funds. 19 It is worth emphasizing that the safekeeping of funds and collections is essential to the goal of an orderly administration of justice. 20chanrob1es virtua1 1aw 1ibrary
By his own admissions, it is clear that the respondent violated the mandatory provisions of Circular No. 50-95 concerning fiduciary funds. Although he denies having misappropriated the amount, claiming that he was the victim of theft, his liability for the violation cannot be denied.
The records of this case contradict, rather than support, respondent's claim of good faith. For one, it was highly improper and irregular for the respondent to receive the consignation of money at his home and thereafter fail to remit the amounts officially for deposit to the authorized bank. For another, the respondent's story surrounding the loss of the money simply taxes one's gullibility. Respondent claims that he lost the money from complainant because he negligently left the sealed envelope bulging with so many bills on top of a glass counter, in a public place with nobody to watch over it while he was shopping at a gasoline station. Yet after he discovered that the money was gone, he did not report the matter to the police. In fact, by his own admission, all he did was to make an inquiry from the sales clerk of the store. There was no serious attempt made by respondent to recover the amount, if indeed he lost it at the time and place as he would like us to believe. No detailed account of who, what, where and when of the loss is presented to this Court, to underscore that his actuations were those of a responsible and cautious official of the court.
Weighed against complainant's detailed averment that the respondent misappropriated the money, respondent's bare denial of the charge cannot prevail. That he wrote the complainant admitting having received the money and asking for time to repay it is no reason to exculpate him from his liability. Records reveal that the respondent's first letter informing the complainant of the alleged theft of the money occurred months after the supposed incident, and quite a while after repeated demands from the complainant, 21 for the money's return.
Time and again, this Court has emphasized that it will neither tolerate nor condone any conduct which would violate the norms of public accountability, and diminish the faith of the people in the justice system. 22 A judge should always be a symbol of rectitude and propriety, comporting himself in a manner that will raise no doubt whatsoever about his honesty. 23 He should ever strive to preserve the good name of the court on which he sits and avoid any indiscretion that will defile its probity. 24 Canon 1 of the Code of Judicial Conduct requires judges to uphold the integrity and independence of the Judiciary. Canon 2 of the same code requires him to avoid impropriety and the appearance of impropriety in all activities. Because of his actuations, respondent has impaired the image of the judiciary. Rather than keep it at all times unsullied, always worthy of the people's trust, he has damaged it beyond easy repair. He is guilty of gross misconduct for misappropriating money entrusted to him by litigants in connection with a case pending in his court. No less importantly, the respondent has also caused pecuniary damage to complainant, who has yet to recover the sum entrusted to Respondent.chanrob1es virtua1 1aw 1ibrary
As previously held, any appearance of criminal violation of the law, in any way or capacity, directly or indirectly, principal or accessing, will warrant the judge to be disrobed. 25 By his conduct, the respondent has demonstrated culpability subversive of the time-honored principle that a public office is a public trust. The penalty of dismissal, as recommended by OCA, is proper. 26
WHEREFORE, for violation of Supreme Court Circular No. 50-95 and for gross misconduct, respondent JUDGE JOSEFINO A. GARILLO, of the Municipal Circuit Trial Court, Calintaan, Occidental Mindoro, is DISMISSED from the service with forfeiture of all benefits, except accrued leaves if any, and with prejudice to re-employment in any branch, agency, or instrumentality of the government including government-owned or controlled corporations. This Resolution shall take effect immediately upon its promulgation.

Viral Content: Careful What You Wish For
March 10, 2015 by Kristin Magette Filed Under: Growth & change, Social Media, Thoughtful work Leave a Comment
Going Viral. There are few phrases in the world of social media — and in today's culture, for that matter — with more immediate meaning. We know the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge videos that filled our feeds. We know Justin Bieber, Susan Boyle and Gangnam Style. We know the Harlem Shake. And we know more sad cat, cute puppy and funny baby videos than we care to count.
It's completely natural, in this age of information and sharing, to aspire to create viral content. And unless you're breaking out a new superstar or the latest adorable child/animal, it's only reasonable to admit that going viral is a pie-in-the-sky aspiration, at best. But in an age when celebrity status is currency, it's also completely natural to think, Wouldn't it be amazing if this went viral?, when releasing a message, video, photo or story that we know really is special. I can only imagine the conversations that took place at the ALS Association when they talked about this silly idea — this special idea — and contemplated how far the ice-bucket-dumping-cash-donating phenomenon would travel. I doubt anyone in the room that day predicted it would raise $115 million in two months, more than 3,500% of the money raised the year before. Viral, anyone?
Back in early February, I had a bit of a lucky spell. A Facebook post on my district page went viral. I also had two personal posts (here and here), shared just a few minutes apart with some reflections on the state of public education in my home state of Kansas. And in a way I've never personally experienced, these also caught fire with friends, with friends of friends and — I would come to learn — with complete strangers.
In that mad and crazy week, I learned some lessons I never expected, and a couple of them still bother me a little, sometimes.
LESSON ONE:
You will never, ever — EVER — be able to measure how far your content reached, or how many people saw it. (I almost wonder if the impossibility of measurement is somehow part of the definition of going viral.)
For someone who works in public relations — and who delights in the Facebook Insight data on a near-daily basis — the sheer inability to measure has been hard to admit. I kept thinking there just had to be a way to compile metrics on how far our post really reached, but I eventually conceded defeat. We were able to easily measure our reach from the original post, including shares and shares of shares. But there were too many original posts about our content on Facebook, often with zero connection to our first post. No matter the approach, I learned no amount of searching, measuring and piecing together would give me the complete picture. I'd just have be willing to settle on this highly scientific evaluation: An Unbelievably Large Number Of People That Destroyed Anything Else We've Ever Posted.
LESSON TWO:
The second lesson learned — and one that is still slightly uncomfortable to share — is the personal toll that viral content can take.
Anything that goes viral will attract haters. And let's face it: If these people can find things to criticize on a video of a baby giraffe, they'll surely find something to dislike about a strongly worded statement about school funding and state government.
But even the positive attention, which accounted for the vast majority of feedback on all three posts, took a toll on my mental health. The constant monitoring, the searching and counting, and just the repeated surprise and flat-out shock that these messages were on fire … these chronic hits of adrenaline made it very hard to tune out at the end of the day. At times the viral content was exhilarating, and the way it resonated with others was certainly affirming. But the roller coaster in a theme park is designed to only lasts a few minutes. As my social media roller coaster lasted hours, and then days, I wore down.
To be perfectly honest, this second lesson learned feels silly to admit. Why didn't I just shut off my phone or stop checking stats? Why didn't I reconfigure my personal posts to stop the strangers from seeing them? Why did I let Facebook friend requests from the adorable moms-I-have-never-met creep me out? What exactly was so hard? And why exactly did it affect me so personally?
But more than once, I've thought of Jason Russell, the activist filmmaker and mastermind behind the Kony 2012 campaign. His video and cause went viral — 50 million views in three days! Unsurprisingly, this man was instantly in demand for high-profile interviews and phone calls, around the clock. But the intense attention generated by going viral — even though it was exactly what he aimed for — also brought Russell to a harrowing halt when he was hospitalized after a dramatic and very public psychotic break. Putting himself and his work out there for mass consumption took a psychological and physical toll that nobody would have imagined.

Mercifully my experience has only a teeny tiny shred in common with Jason Russell's. But in the midst of my three posts — one professional and two personal — I glimpsed the way that going viral can scrutinize, overwhelm and ultimately break a content creator. Maybe it's Introvert Kristin bleeding through here, but a real and lingering internal pressure lurks when content goes viral. I just couldn't shake the sense that everyone wanted a piece of what I made, they wanted a piece of me, and they wanted it now. At the height of the sharing, I felt hollowed out, I felt overexposed and mostly, I just felt spent. I had no more to give.
But time passed, and much like a swarm of bees people moved on to the next round of content — content that someone else had created and shared. Whew. And now with the benefit of hindsight, these challenges seem more understandable, less bewildering.
Ultimately, I'm a communicator, and the messages I offer reflect my passion, my ideas and my creation. I can't separate all my content from myself.
When it counts the most, it's personal.
I imagine I'll always create content that I hope will catch fire — after all, that's the whole point of social media. But now, when I prepare to share that special idea with the world, I go in with open eyes. I prepare to feel overwhelmed and vulnerable. I prepare to care for my mental health. And I know that it will pass.
But of all the lessons I've learned, perhaps the simplest applies best: Be careful what you wish for … it just might come true.

Browsing through a lot of websites on SEO, you might have read that title tags are important. So, what are title tags? A title tag is an HTML code that tells what a particular web page contains through a particular keyword that a user types in a search engine. It is the title tag that gives the search engine the information as to what a web page is all about. We hope that these tips would help you create attractive title tags taking your website high up in the ladder.
A title tag that has the relevant keyword can take your site up in the search engine ranking position. Including keyword in your title tag is like naming your shop with the product you sell. Customers come to buy from you only if they see on your name board what you sell. Similarly, if your title tag does not mention what your web page contains, it is going to attract neither the search engine nor human visitors.
The word order of the title tag is very important. If your business is greeting cards and your website is Greeting cards ABC, it is much more relevant than ABC greeting cards from the search engine point of view. Hence, make sure that your title tag has words that are placed in the right and relevant order.
Make your title tag easy and pleasant to read. While creating your title tag satisfying search engines alone is not enough. Search engines after all list not only your site but a lot. Making the user click on yours is another task that requires creativity and knack. Here, the trick is to make the title tag pleasant for the eye to read.
Make your title tag unique. Any trade that you are in, you are sure to have rivals. If the search engines as well as users have to pick your website, you need to provide them with something that is different from other, something that is unique. Using an attractive and unique title tag always make a big difference in your ranking position in search engines.
Include action words in your title tag. Inspire your readers to do something when they read the tag. It should compel or persuade the readers to take the action that you want them to take.
Don't leave your title tag blank.
Don't use default text or 'Untitled' in your title tag.
Don't create title tags that are not related to your website content.
Don't repeat keywords in your title tag.
Don't make your title tag too long or too short.
Don't use the same title tag for different web pages.

Hyatt Place Mississauga: Great New Spot for Families, Biz Types
August 23, 2020 Jim Byers
Business travellers, families and Hyatt lovers have a stylish new hotel to check out in Mississauga.
The Hyatt Place Toronto/Mississauga opened a little over a week ago on Hurontario Street, just a couple blocks south of Highway 401. It's a beautiful property, and the first Hyatt Place hotel in the province of Ontario.
Visitors who walk into the lobby are immediately met with a bright, wide-open space with beautiful art on the walls, colourful yellow chairs and pretty orchids.
There are tons of nice touches, including a small business/meeting area off the lobby with suspended bits of polished, petrified wood and little nooks with big-screen TV sets.
There's a good-sized indoor pool (currently limited to seven people at a time) and a fine-looking fitness centre with the latest equipment (currently limited to three people at a time).

All rooms are set up with either a king bed or two queens, and there's a sleek, L-shaped couch in the corner (Hyatt calls them "cozy corners") that's also a sofa bed, meaning all rooms can sleep four or even five people without a problem.
Our room had nice blinds to block out the morning sun and a wonderful TV set, plus a mini-fridge, lots of desk space and a large bathroom with a roomy shower. I wouldn't mind some USB plugs for iPhones and such, but there were tons of outlets in good places for plugging in my laptop and phone charger.
The food and beverage options are limited for now, but they serve a nice breakfast with hot and cold items, including breakfast sandwiches, yogurt, fruit, pastries and more. There's no liquor license yet but they have a Starbucks and the front desk staffers also are trained baristas. They also offer wraps, sandwiches, chips, granola bars and other goodies. I was told a Naan oven is on the way and that they'll assess their food and beverage options as they go.
Oh, it's also pet-friendly, so feel free to bring along your family's special dog or cat.
Perhaps the most striking thing about the hotel is the attached ballroom space, called the Luxe Convention Centre. It's a wonderful bit of architecture, with marble floors and gleaming marble walls in a spacious atrium. There's a ton of great light and unusual, overhead light fixtures that look a little like bronze flowers.

They have 6,000 square feet of meeting space that can be divided into four rooms, and they have all the bells and whistles you need to put on a great event. Of course, social-distancing is the rule for now.
It's likely to be a popular spot for weddings, too, and they've already got a couple booked. There is some availability next summer, but weekends are already booked for July, 2021, said general manager Celso Thompson.
In addition to the convention space, they have a few small meeting rooms inside the hotel proper, as well as a nice patio for al fresco dining and a wooden gazebo-like structure that can be used for weddings or other functions.
Health and safety are, of course, major concerns for arriving guests. There's a plexiglass shield between front desk workers and guests, and I spotted a number of hand sanitizing units scattered about, as well as social-distancing signs in elevators and other areas.
A handout given to guests says the hotel is "committed to upholding the highest standards of cleanliness in an effort to ensure you enjoy a healthy, safe and comfortable environment. Guided by its purposes of care, Hyatt recently announced a multi-layered Global Care and Cleanliness Commitment."
Thompson said he's taken a two-day training course operated by the Global Biorisk Advisory Council, and that someone who's taken the course is on duty at the hotel at all times.
"I want us to be who we are," said Thompson, who was recently at Hotel X on the Toronto waterfront. "I don't have a spa, but this is a solid little hotel. It's a solid, solid, solid, three-diamond hotel."
Javaid Akhtar (L) and Sheheryar Javaid (R)
There's also a good story behind the hotel. Businessman Javaid Akhtar, who's the owner, was staying at a nearby property 10 or 11 years ago and saw the land where the Hyatt is now. He purchased the lot in 2014 and began building a few years ago. There were, as is often the case with construction, a few snags along the way, and Akhtar asked his son, Sheheryar Javaid, to lend a hand.
Sheheryar has a widely varied resume that includes work in finance and teaching both yoga and improvisational acting. He's an energetic young man and seemingly a quick learner, and he was able to help his Dad get things under control.
Javaid Akhtar is CEO of Destination at Mississauga Inc., which owns the hotel. Sheheryar Javaid is the company's project director.
