Alternative meanings: Julius Caesar (play), Sir Julius Caesar.
Gaius Julius Caesar (July 13, 100 BC - March 15, 44 BC) was a Roman military and political leader whose conquest of Gallia Comata extended the Roman world all the way to the Oceanus Atlanticus and introduced Roman influence into modern France, an accomplishment whose direct consequences are visible to this day. Caesar fought and won a civil war which left him undisputed master of the Roman world, and began extensive reforms of Roman society and government. His dramatic assassination on the Ides of March became the catalyst of a second set of civil wars which became the twilight of the Roman Republic and the dawn of the Roman Empire under Caesar's grand-nephew and posthumously adopted son, Caesar Augustus. Caesar's military campaigns are known in detail from his own written Commentaries (Commentarii), and many details of his life are recorded by later historiographers like Gaius Suetonius Tranquillus, Mestrius Plutarch, and Lucius Cassius Dio.

Caesar was born in Rome to a well-known patrician family (gens Julia) which supposedly traced its ancestry to Julus, the son of the Trojan prince Aeneas, who according to myth was the son of Venus. At the height of his power in 45 BC, Caesar began building a temple to Venus Genetrix at Rome, signifying his link to the goddess. His father and namesake, Gaius Julius Caesar, achieved the rank of praetor (see cursus honorum). His mother was an Aurelia from the Cottae branch, a rich and influential family of plebeian stock. As a young boy, he lived in a modest house in the Subura quarter, where he apparently learned to speak several languages, including Hebrew and Gallic dialects.
The Julii Caesarii, although of impeccable aristocratic patrician stock, were not rich by the standards of the Roman nobility. Due to this, no member of his family had achieved any outstanding prominence in recent times, though in his father's generation there was a renaissance of their fortunes. His paternal aunt, Julia, married Gaius Marius, a talented general and reformer of the Roman army. Marius was also the leader of the Populares faction of the Senate, frequently opposed to the Optimates conservatives.
Towards the end of Marius' life in 86 BC, internal politics reached a breaking point. Several disputes of the Marius faction against Lucius Cornelius Sulla led to civil war and eventually opened the way to Sulla's dictatorship. Caesar was tied to the Marius party through family connections. Not only he was Marius' nephew, he was also married to Cornelia Cinnilla, the youngest daughter of Lucius Cornelius Cinna, Marius' greatest supporter and Sulla's enemy.
Thus, when Sulla emerged as the winner of this civil war and began its program of proscriptions, Caesar, not yet 20 years old, was in a bad position. Sulla ordered him to divorce Cornelia in 82 BC, but Caesar refused and prudently left Rome to hide. Only the intervention of his family and closest friends saved him from certain proscription and death. Despite Sulla's pardon, Caesar did not remain in Rome and left for military service in Asia and Cilicia. During these campaigns he served under the command of Lucius Licinius Lucullus and distinguished himself for bravery in combat.
Back in Rome in 78 BC, when Sulla died, Caesar began his political career in the Forum at Rome as an advocate, known for his oratory and ruthless prosecution of former governors notorious for extortion and corruption. Aiming at rhetorical perfection, Caesar traveled to Rhodes for philosophical and oratorical studies with the famous teacher Apollonius Molo.
On the way, Caesar was kidnapped by pirates. When they demanded a ransom of twenty talents, he laughed at them, saying they did not know who they had captured. Instead, he ordered them to ask for fifty. They accepted, and Caesar sent his followers to various cities to collect the ransom money. Thirty-eight days later, they returned with the ransom and Caesar was set free. As soon as he was ransomed, he organized a naval force, captured the pirates and their stronghold and put them to death by crucifixion.
In 69 BC, Caesar became a widower after Cornelia's death trying to deliver a stillborn son. In the same year, he lost his aunt Julia, to whom he was very attached. Contrary to the tradition, Caesar insisted on public funerals for both and delivered eulogy speeches from the rostra. Julia's funeral was filled with political connotations, since Caesar insisted on parading Marius's funeral mask. This was the first attack on the Sullan proscription laws of the former decade. Although Caesar was very fond of both women (according to Suetonius), these speeches were interpreted by his political opponents as propaganda for his upcoming election for the office of quaestor.
Caesar's cursus honorum
Caesar was elected quaestor by the Assembly of the People in 69 BC, at the age of 30, as stipulated in the Roman cursus honorum. He drew the lots and was assigned with a questorship in Hispania Ulterior (a Roman province roughly situated in modern Portugal and southern Spain).
On his return to Rome, Caesar pursued his judicial career until his election as curule aedile in 65 BC. The functions of this office were similar to a present day mayor and included regulation of construction, traffic, commerce and other aspects of Rome's daily life. It was also a dangerous office because it included the organization of the Roman games in the Circus Maximus.
The public funding for this event was limited and, if the aedile wanted to offer the city magnificent games, in order to push forward his political career, this meant heavy expenses to their own purse. Caesar threw spectacular games that included the diversion of the Tiber River for a specific representation in the Circus. He ended the year in glory but in bankruptcy. His debts reached several hundreds gold talents (millions of euros in today's currency) and threatened to be an obstacle for his future career.
His success as aedile was, however, an enormous help for his election as Pontifex Maximus (high priest) in 63 BC, following the death of the previous holder Quintus Caecilius Metellus Pius. This office meant a new house – the Domus Publica (public house) – in the Forum, the responsibility of all Roman religious affairs and the custody of the Vestal virgins under his roof. For Caesar, it also meant a relief of his debts.
Caesar's debut as Pontifex was however marked by a scandal. Following the death of his wife Cornelia, he had married Pompeia, a granddaughter of Sulla. As the wife of the Pontifex and an important matrona, Pompeia was responsible for the organization of the Bona Dea festival in December. These rites were exclusive to women and considered very sacred. However, Publius Clodius Pulcher managed to get in the house disguised as a woman. This was absolute sacrilege and Pompeia received a letter of divorce. Caesar himself admitted that she could be innocent in the plot, but, as he said: "Caesar's wife, like the rest of Caesar's family, must be above suspicion."
Sixty-three BC was an especially difficult year, not only for Caesar, but for the Roman Republic itself. Marcus Tullius Cicero was senior Consul and Caesar had been elected Urban Praetor by the Centuriate Assembly. During his consulship Cicero revealed a conspiracy to overthrow the elected magistrates organized by Lucius Sergius Catilina, a patrician aristocrat frustrated about his own political failure.
The result was the conviction to death of five notable Roman men, Catiline's allies, without a trial. This scandalized democratic Roman society, and Caesar opposed this violent measure with all his strength. His views were eventually defeated in a famous meeting of the Senate, due to Cato the younger's insistence, and the men were executed in the same day. (This was also the day when Caesar saw his affair with Servilia Caepionis exposed to the public eye.) Caesar's opposition led to accusations – never proved – of involvement on the conspiracy.
If Caesar was implicated in the Catiline affair, it did him no lasting damage. In 61 BC, after his praetorship, he served as governor of the province of Hispania Ulterior. This term permitted him to pay part of his debts.
The First Triumvirate and the Gallic War
In 59 BC Caesar was elected senior Consul of the Roman Republic by the Centuriate Assembly. His junior partner was his political enemy Marcus Calpurnius Bibulus, a member of the Optimates faction and personal friend of Marcus Porcius Cato. The first act of Bibulus as Consul was retire from all political activity in order to search the skies for omens. This apparently pious decision was designed to make Caesar life difficult during his Consulship. Indeed, he needed allies and he found them where none of his enemies expected.
At this time the leading general Gnaeus Pompeius Magnus (Pompey the Great) was fighting in the Senate for farmlands for his veterans, without success. A former Consul, Marcus Licinius Crassus, allegedly the richest man in Rome, was also having problems in obtaining his long-desired military command against the Parthian Empire. Caesar the Consul was in desperate need of Crassus's money and Pompey's influence, so an informal alliance was created. Historians call this union the First Triumvirate (rule by three men). To confirm the alliance, Pompey married Julia Caesaris, Caesar's only daughter. Despite the differences in age and upbringing, this political marriage proved to be a love match.
Following a difficult year as Consul, Caesar was given Proconsul powers to govern Gaul (southern France) and Illyria (the coast of Dalmatia) for five years. He was not content with an idle governorship. Instead, he started the Gallic Wars (58 BC-49 BC) in which the all of Gaul (the rest of France) and parts of Germania were annexed to Rome. Among his legates were his cousins Lucius Julius Caesar and Marcus Antonius, Titus Labienus and Quintus Tullius Cicero (Cicero's younger brother).
Caesar waged war against various peoples, defeating the Helvetii (in Switzerland in 58 BC, the Belgic confederacy and the Nervii in 57 BC and the Veneti in 56 BC. In 55 BC he attempted an invasion of Britain and, in 52 BC he defeated a union of Gauls led by Vercingetorix at the battle of Alesia. His accounts of these campaigns were recorded in his commentaries De Bello Galico ("On the Gallic Wars").
According to Plutarch, the whole campaign resulted in 800 conquered cities, 300 subdued tribes, one million men sold to slavery and another three million dead in battle fields. Ancient historians are notorious for exaggerating numbers of this kind; Caesar's conquest of Gaul was certainly the greatest military triumph since the campaigns of Alexander the Great.
Despite his successes and the benefits they brought to Rome, Caesar remained unpopular among his peers, especially with the conservative faction, who always suspected him of wanting to become king. In 55 BC, his partners Pompey and Crassus were elected consuls and honored their agreement with Caesar by prolonging his proconsulship for another five years. This was to be the last act of the First Triumvirate.
In 54 BC, Julia Caesaris died in childbirth, leaving both Pompey and Caesar heartbroken. Crassus was killed in 53 BC during his ill-fated campaign in Parthia. Without Crassus or Julia, Pompey began to drift towards the Optimates faction. Still away in Gaul, Caesar tried to secure Pompey's support by offering him one of his nieces in marriage, but Pompey refused. Instead, Pompey married Cornelia Metella, the daughter of Metellus Scipio, one of Caesar's greatest enemies.
In 50 BC, the Senate, led by Pompey, ordered Caesar to return to Rome and disband his army because his term as Proconsul had finished. Moreover, the Senate forbade Caesar to stand for a second consulship in absentia. Caesar knew that he would be prosecuted and politically eliminated if he entered Rome without the immunity enjoyed by a Consul or without the power of his legions. So Caesar refused to act as ordered and crossed the Rubicon river (the frontier with Italy) on January 10, 49 BC and civil war broke out. Historians differ as to what Caesar said upon crossing the Rubicon; the two competing lines are "The die is cast" and "Let the dice fly high!" (a line from the New Comedy poet Menander), the former in Latin (Alea iacta est) and the latter in Greek. This minor controversy is occasionally seen in modern, contemporary literature when an author wishes to underscore his or her superior knowledge by attributing the less popular Menander line to Caesar.
The Optimates, including Metellus Scipio and Cato the younger, fled to the south, not knowing that Caesar had only his Tenth Legion with him. Caesar pursued Pompey to Brundisium, hoping to patch up their deal of ten years before. Pompey eluded him, however, and Caesar made an astonishing 27-day route-march to Spain to defeat Pompey's lieutenants in Spain. He then went back east, to challenge Pompey in Greece where on July 10, 48 BC at Dyrrhacium Caesar barely avoided a catastrophic defeat to Pompey. He decisively defeated Pompey's numerically superior army -- Pompey had nearly twice the number of infantry and considerably more cavalry -- at Pharsalus in an exceedingly short engagement in 48 BC.
Pompey fled to Egypt, where he was murdered by an officer of King Ptolemy XIII. In Rome, Caesar was appointed dictator, with Marcus Antonius as his master of the horse (magister equitum, or chief lieutenant); Caesar resigned this dictatorate after eleven days and was elected to a second term as consul with Publius Servilius Vatia Isauricus as his colleague. He pursued Pompey to Alexandria, where he camped his army and inadvertently got tangled in the Alexandrine civil war between Ptolemy and his sister, wife, and co-regnant queen, the Pharaoh Cleopatra VII. Perhaps as a result of Ptolemy's role in Pompey's murder, Caesar sided with Cleopatra; he is reported to have wept at the sight of Pompey's head, which was offered to him by Ptolemy's chamberlain Pothinus as a gift. In any event, Caesar defeated the Ptolemaic forces and installed Cleopatra as ruler, and began an affair with her which produced his only known natural son, Ptolemy XV Caesar, better known as "Caesarion".
After spending the first months of 47 BC in Egypt, Caesar went to the Middle East, where he annihilated King Pharnaces of Pontus in the battle of Zela; his victory was so swift and so complete that he commemorated it in his triumph with the words Veni, vidi, vici ("I came, I saw, I conquered"). Thence, he proceeded to Africa to deal with the remnants of Pompey's senatorial supporters. He quickly gained a significant victory at Thapsus in 46 BC over the forces of Metellus Scipio (who was killed in battle) and Cato the Younger (who committed suicide). Nevertheless, Pompey's sons Gnaeus Pompeius and Sextus Pompeius, together with Titus Labienus, Caesar's former propraetorian legate (legatus propraetore) and second in command in the Gallic War, escaped to Spain. Caesar gave chase and defeated the last remnants of opposition at Munda in a fiercely contested battle in March 45 BC. During this time, Caesar was elected to his third and fourth terms as consul in 46 BC (with Marcus Aemilius Lepidus) and 45 BC (without colleague).
Immediately after his return from the East (and before his departure for Spain), Caesar began extensive reforms of Roman society and government. He tightly regulated the purchase of State-subsidized grain and forbade those who could afford privately supplied grain from purchasing from the grain dole. He extended the Roman citizenship to all communities in Gallia Cisalpina, thus enfranchising the remainder of the Italian peninsula. He made plans for the distribution of land to his veterans and for the establishment of veteran colonies throughout the Roman world. In one of his most wide-ranging reforms, Caesar ordered a complete overhaul of the Roman calendar, establishing a 365-day year with a leap year every fourth year (this Julian calendar was subsequently modified by Pope Gregory XIII in 1582 into the modern calendar); as a result of this reform, the year 46 BC was in fact 445 days long to bring the calendar into line.
Caesar returned to Rome, where he began to receive increasingly grandiose honors from the Senate (Plutarch even records that he at one point informed the Senate that he felt his honors were more in need of reduction than augmentation, but withdrew this position so as not to appear ungrateful). He was given the title Pater Patriae ("Father of the Fatherland") and authorized to dress in triumphal regalia at all times. He was appointed dictator a third time, and then nominated for nine consecutive one-year terms as dictator, effectually making him dictator for ten years; he was also given censorial authority as prefect of morals (praefectus morum) for three years.
In 44 BC, Caesar became consul a fifth time with Marcus Antonius as his colleague; he was soon appointed perpetual dictator (dictator perpetuus) and began wearing the knee-high red boots of the kings of Alba Longa, from whom the Julii Caesares were descended. In February 44 BC, Antonius, having just been appointed as flamen to Caesar, publicly offered him a diadem, a white linen strip worn on the forehead which was the Hellenic symbol of monarchy; Caesar refused the diadem, but to this day there remains scholarly dispute about whether or not Caesar intended to make himself King of Rome.
The Roman Senate traditionally met in the Curia Hostilia, but it had been destroyed by fire years before. As a result, Caesar summoned the Senate to meet in the Theatrum Pompeium (built by Pompey) on the Ides of March (March 15) 44 BC. As the Senate convened, Caesar was attacked and stabbed to death by a group of senators who called themselves the Liberators (Liberatores); the Liberators justified their action on the grounds that they were preserving the Republic from Caesar's alleged monarchical ambitions. Among the assassins were Gaius Trebonius, Decimus Junius Brutus, Marcus Junius Brutus, and Gaius Cassius Longinus; Caesar had personally pardoned most of his murderers or personally advanced their careers (Decimus Brutus was a distant cousin of Caesar and named as one of his testamentary heirs). Caesar sustained 23 stab wounds, which ranged from superficial to mortal, and fell at the feet of a statue of Pompey. His last words have been various reported as:
Kai su, teknon? (Gr., "And you, son?")
Tu quoque, Brute, fili mi! (Lat., "You too, Brutus, my son!")
Et tu, Brute? (Lat., "And you, Brutus?")
Caesar's violent death caused considerable unrest in Rome. A series of civil wars broke out, the first of which between Decimus Brutus and Antonius resulted in the creation of the Second Triumvirate of Caesar's distant cousin Antonius, his lieutenant Lepidus, and Caesar's grand nephew Gaius Octavius (posthumously adopted by Caesar as "Gaius Julius Caesar Octavianus"). This Triumvirate deified Caesar as divus iulius and - seeing that Caesar's clemency had resulted in his murder - proscribed its enemies and conducted a second civil war against Brutus and Cassius, whom Antonius and Octavianus defeated at Philippi. A third civil war then broke out between Octavianus on one hand and Antonius and Cleopatra on the other. This final civil war, culminating in Antonius's and Cleopatra's defeat at Actium, resulted in the ascendancy of Octavianus, who became the first Roman emperor, under the name Caesar Augustus. In 42 BC, Caesar was formally deified as "the Divine Julius" (Divus Iulius), and Caesar Augustus henceforth became Divi filius ("son of god").
The Literary Caesar
Caesar was considered during his lifetime to be one of the finest orators and authors of prose in Rome; even Cicero spoke highly of Caesar's rhetoric and style; among his most famous works were his funeral oration for his paternal aunt Julia (Marius's widow) and his Anticato, a document written to blacken Cato's reputation and respond to Cicero's Cato memorial. Unfortunately, the majority of his works and speeches have been lost. The most famous of his surviving works are:
The Commentarii de Bello Gallico (Commentaries on the Gallic War), campaigns in Gallia and Britannia during his term as proconsul; and
The Commentarii de Bello Civilo (Commentaries on the Civil War) [1], events of the Civil War until immediately after Pompey's death in Egypt.
Other works historically attributed to Caesar, but whose authorship is doubted, are:
De Bello Hispaniensis (On the Hispanic War) [1], campaigns in modern Spain;
De Bello Africo (On the African War) [1], campaigns in North Africa; and
De Bello Alexandrino (On the Alexandrine War) [1], campaign in Alexandria.
These narratives, apparently simple and direct in style -- to the point that Caesar's Commentarii are commonly studied by first and second year Latin students -- , are in fact highly sophisticated advertisements for his political agenda, most particularly for the middle-brow readership of minor aristocrats in Rome, Italy, and the provinces.
The Military Caesar
Historians place Caesar's generalship on the level of such geniuses as Alexander the Great and Napol�on Bonaparte. Although he suffered occasional tactical defeats such as Gergovia during the Gallic War and Dyrrhachium during the Civil War, Caesar's tactical brilliance was highlighted by such feats as his circumvallation of Alesia during the Gallic War, the rout of Pompey's numerically superior forces at Pharsalus during the Civil War, and the complete destruction of Pharnaces's army at Zela.
Caesar's successful campaigning in any terrain and under all weather conditions owes much to the strict but fair discipline of his legionaries, whose admiration and devotion to him was proverbial. Caesar's infantry and cavalry was first rate, and he made heavy use of formidable Roman artillery; additional factors which made him so effective in the field were his army's superlative engineering abilities and the legendary speed with which he maneuvered (Caesar's army sometimes marched as many as 40 Roman miles a day).
Caesar levied several Roman legions and most of them remained strategically important until the 5th century. They were: Legio I Germanica, Legio III Gallica, Legio IV Macedonica, Legio V Alaudae, Legio VI Ferrata, Legio VII Claudia, Legio VIII Augusta, Legio IX Hispana, Legio X Gemina (his favorite legion, which accompanied him in the Rubicon), Legio XI Claudia, Legio XII Fulminata and Legio XIII Gemina.

45 BC March 17 - Battle of Munda: defeats the Pompeian forces of Titus Labienus and Gnaeus Pompeius
Caesar's Name
Using the Latin alphabet as it existed in Caesar's day (i.e., without lower case letters, "J", or "U"), Caesar's name is properly rendered "GAIVS IVLIVS C�SAR" (the form "CAIVS" is also attested and is interchangeable with the more common "GAIVS"). It is often seen abbreviated to "C. IVLIVS C�SAR". In classical Latin, it is pronounced "GUY-us YOOL-yuhs KUY-sahr", where "guy" and "kuy" are pronounced as the English "sky"; in ecclesiastical Latin, the familiar part "Caesar" is pronounced "CHAY-zahr".
Roman nomenclature is somewhat different from the modern English form. "Gaius", Iulius, and Caesar are Caesar's praenomen (given name), nomen (surname), and cognomen (familial nickname), respectively. In modern usage, his full surname would be "Iulius Caesar". The cognomen "Caesar" means "hairy" and indicates that this branch of the family was conspicuous for having fine heads of hair (hence Caesar's later sensitivity about his ironically thinning hair). His grand-nephew, Gaius Octavius duly took Caesar's name as "Gaius Iulius Caesar Octavianus" upon his posthumous adoption in 44 BC, and the name became fused with the imperial dignity; in this sense it is preserved in the German and Russian words Kaiser and czar, both of which refer to an emperor.
An alternative derivation for the name "Caesar" is that it is comes from the Latin phrase a matre caeso (meaning "cut out of his mother"), which refers to the popular story that Caesar was born by Caesarean section. This story is probably untrue, as the name "Caesar" had already been in the family for generations before the famous Caesar's birth, without even considering the medical likelihood of a successful Caesarean section having been performed in 100 BC.
Other derivations suggest that the root of the name may not be of Latin origin; the Rosetta Stone contains a hieroglyphic cartouche transcribed as "k-e-s-r-s" and supposed to be related to the Latin sense. Another suggested foreign derivation is the Persian Kasr� (pl. Ak�sirah), the title of four great dynasties of Persian kings, via Ahasuerus (i.e., Khshayarsha, better known as Xerxes I, the grandson of Cyrus the Great); eventual relationship between kisri and kasr� is seen as less meaningful, mostly referred to later times (Sassanides).

The intention was a return to the very essence of acoustics for those who are passionate about music. F' cones are characterized by their natural sound, with low coloration, their richness of reproduction in the midrange register and their tighter bass. The result is a more homogeneous sound, improved dynamics.
Aria 948 offers a classic and modern design. This is the ultimate loudspeaker of the range for rooms measuring from 320ft. And from a recommended listening distance of 12ft (3.5m). For the TNF tweeter, we have brought two major evolutions to our aluminum/magnesium tweeter. The suspension between the dome and its bracket uses Poron, a material with shape memory. This suspension method is directly derived from the famous Utopia Beryllium tweeter, making it possible to reduce distortion by a factor of three in the 2-3kHz range, where the human ear has very great sensitivity. The inverted domes spatial characteristics and very low directivity already make it greatly superior to the conventional domes used by our competitors.

Statement of Sen. Bongbong Marcos on the Libingan ng Bayani pronouncement of incoming President Rodrigo Duterte:
We are deeply grateful to the statement of our incoming President Rodrigo Duterte favoring the burial of the late President Ferdinand Marcos at the Libingan ng mga Bayani. It has always been our family's position that it is our father's right under the law to be buried there being a soldier and a former President of this country.
Our campaign has always been towards achieving unity to move the country forward. And it is this kind of pronouncement that we hope could end the decades of divisiveness that have been imposed upon us by our leaders.
We would like to thank President Duterte for this kind, rightful and healing gesture.

Welsh Spaniel not only looks like cocker spaniel, but also has the same character. The Welsh Spaniel feels energetic, cheerful and approachable, so it's easier to train when it's raised.
The Welsh spaniel is an active dog, displaying loyalty and emotional behavior. Though indifferent to strangers. But it's not shy, shy or unfriendly. It is still a loyal family member and hunting partner.
The Welsh spenger is a lively dog, which shows loyalty and love. Though reserved for strangers, he is timid, shy and friendly. Loyal to the owner, hunting is the dog's favorite.

Dump the Scholl Dump
Posted on Stop the Scholl Dump by Hector Huezo · July 13, 2014 11:21 PM · 73 reactions
The burdens on our communities' environment and health warrant taking a strong stand.
We're asking you to take a stand with us and Sign the Petition to Dump the Dump.
Scholl Canyon dump takes in Glendale's trash, NOT that of Los Angeles. Shipped entirely through Eagle Rock, it has polluted the air breathed by residents of Eastside L.A. for more than 50 years, in at least two ways: first in toxic dust and gas that come off the giant garbage pile; second in the gas it emits as it rots and decays over time. Northeast L.A. already ranks in the bottom-most tier of California communities for its poor air quality, heavily burdened by nitrogen oxides and both fine and coarse particles, which cause asthma, long-term damage, cancer. In the words of Glendale's own draft Environmental Impact Report, the dump expansion portends "significant unavoidable adverse impacts related to air quality" for our neighborhoods and that's before factoring in the dangerous and deadly diesel pollution in Eagle Rock and southwest Pasadena from diesel trucks entering the dump via its sole access from the south.
The timeline for community input on the dump was originally set to run out on July 31. Now the timeline has been extended to August 31. We have very little time to make our voice heard about the threats the dump expansion represents.

Sri Lankan court orders release of six Indian fishermen
(PTI) Colombo, Ta. 3
A Sri Lankan court has ordered the release of six Indian fishermen captured by the Sri Lankan Navy. The Sri Lankan Navy has arrested Indian fishermen for allegedly fishing in Sri Lankan waters.
A court in the northern Jaffna peninsula has ordered the release of Indian fishermen caught in the sea south of Mannar in mid-December.
The Indian High Commissioner in Colombo said on Twitter that he was happy to learn that the Sri Lankan cartel had ordered the release of the Indian fishermen.
On the other hand, Union External Affairs Minister Jaishankar said that the effort of High Commissioner Gopal Baglay and the team to ensure the release of the fishermen is commendable.
Sri Lankan officials as well as Indian diplomatic sources have confirmed the release of the fishermen. According to sources, no Indian fisherman is now in custody in Sri Lanka after the order of the Sri Lankan court.
The order was issued by a Sri Lankan court at a time when Indian authorities were appealing for the release of Indian fishermen on humanitarian grounds in view of Sri Lanka's demand for financial assistance. It is noteworthy that India had recently announced financial assistance to Sri Lanka.

Q: live plotting by using xgraph I've been using xgraph due to its simplicity. What I normally do is
echo -e "0 0\n1 1\n2 2\n4 4" | xgraph

which is just piping to xgraph with 2-column data.  I'm now craving for live plotting by using xgraph such as
tail -f data | xgraph

In other shell, I'm feeding to data
echo "5 6" > data

But, sadly, xgraph looks like not supporting such command "tail -f data | xgraph"
Is there any trick or better way for this?

A celebration of collaboration, our inaugural Best Stand accolade has been awarded to a stand that, through combined efforts from an array of partners, sponsors and funding bodies, was able to come into existence in spectacular fashion. Awarded to Form Design Center, who realised the Swedish Design Pavilion, through a smart collaborative approach to a country showcase. Now in it's 4th year, Sweden's participation in the Fair has developed and matured, with 2018 being a stand-out year.
Run in partnership with South Sweden Creatives, the pavilion was co-financed by The European Union Regional Development Fund and the Swedish Agency for Economic and Regional Growth. Using a 50% funded financing model provided an affordable opportunity for small designers and brands to participate, often for the first time in the UK.
Commissioned by Form Design Center, architect Karin Sandberg crafted a bold display for Swedish design. Working with Swedish Wood, the pavilion moved visitors away from preconceptions of Scandinavian design, regarded as quiet and parred back, the pavilion showcased the material in a bright coral tone; a beacon of colour to display the work of the 13 selected designers. Unifying the pieces, the injection of colour covered both interior and exterior, a consistent canvas for the lighting, furniture and accessories being showcased. Putting the final touches to the design, lighting brand Ateljé Lyktan placed a spotlight on the pieces.
And finally, the Swedish Embassy ensured the pavilion received a well deserved celebration by hosting a reception in the space.
"The London Design Fair was a big success for us! We got an amazing response from both the public, retail and contract market. We now have new retailers in London, Germany and France who placed orders directly at the Fair. And it continues, we are already getting requests from more retailers and architects."
"Partnering on the Swedish Design Pavilion was a great opportunity for Swedish Wood to work with architect Karin Sundberg who designed the Pavilion, made from Swedish Pine, stunningly stained in translucent pink! And with the many Swedish Interior Designers who exhibited, and to simultaneously break down preconceptions of how wood can be used and finished. The hugely creative trade audience at the London Design Fair really engaged in the pavilion which for us was a great opportunity deliver one of our aims; to extend the use of wood in architecture and interiors."
This year's 'special mention' goes to London-based designers Cameron Design House and Los Angeles-based artist Geronimo's multi-sensory installation hosted in the Fairs gallery space on Dray Walk.
Visually spectacular, the installation used colour, light and texture to create an all-consuming environment constructed from chandeliers and latex covered surfaces, making for an incredibly immersive visitor experience.


The insulin resistance syndrome (IRS) is a group of health risk factors that increase the likelihood of heart disease,1 2 3 4 and perhaps other disorders, such as diabetes and some cancers.5 6 The risk factors that make up IRS include insulin resistance, which refers to the reduced ability of the hormone insulin to control the processing of glucose by the body. Other major risk factors often associated with IRS include high blood sugar and high blood triglycerides, low HDL ("good") cholesterol, high blood pressure, and excessive body fat in the abdominal region. People with IRS do not always have every one of these risk factors, but they usually have many of them. A qualified doctor should make the diagnosis of IRS after a thorough examination and blood tests.
Most people with type 2 diabetes have insulin resistance, but many more people who are not diabetic also have insulin resistance.7 8 9 Since insulin resistance itself often does not cause symptoms, these people may not be aware of their problem. Some authorities believe insulin resistance is partially inherited and partially due to lifestyle factors.
What are the symptoms of insulin resistance syndrome?
Though there are no specific prescription drugs available, medications commonly prescribed for weight loss are beneficial. The most common agents used include orlistat (Xenical®), sibutramine (Meridia®), and phentermine (Fastin®), though dextroamphetamine (Dexedrine®) is occasionally prescribed. In addition, cholesterol lowering drugs, such as the bile acid sequestrants cholestyramine (Questran®) and colestipol (Colestid®), and the HMG-CoA Reductase Inhibitors atorvastatin (Lipitor®), fluvastatin (Lescol®), lovastatin (Mevacor®), pravastatin (Pravachol®), and simvastatin (Zocor®), are often prescribed. Medications may also be prescribed to control high blood pressure.
Very little research has investigated the effect of increasing dietary protein intake on insulin resistance in people with or without IRS. One controlled study found that people with some features of IRS lost more weight on a high protein diet than on a high-carbohydrate diet, although both diets produced similar improvements in a measurement of insulin sensitivity.27 Preliminary and controlled trials in people without IRS have also shown that substituting protein for carbohydrate in a low-fat diet can improve blood lipids (cholesterol, triglycerides and HDL) towards reduced heart disease risk.28 29 More research is needed on the effects of high protein diets in people with IRS.
In two controlled studies,30 31 a combined program of a weight-loss diet lower in fat and higher in fish, along with exercise three times per week, improved several measures of insulin resistance, blood triglycerides and cholesterol, and blood pressure in a group of people with IRS.
High salt intake decreases insulin sensitivity in young, healthy people,32 but not in older people with hypertension,33 according to preliminary studies. Moderate restriction of salt, however, also decreased insulin sensitivity in one preliminary study of healthy people,34 but had no effect in other studies of people either with35 36 37 or without38 39 hypertension. No studies have investigated the effect of salt intake or restriction in people with IRS.
Cigarette smoking, in most,48 49 though not all,50 studies, as well as exposure to secondhand smoke51 and use of nicotine replacement products,52 53 have been associated with insulin resistance. While smoking cessation has been shown to increase insulin sensitivity in healthy people,54 no research has investigated the effect of quitting smoking on people with IRS.
Alcohol consumption in the light to moderate range is associated with better insulin sensitivity in healthy, nondiabetic people.55 56 57 58 Since alcohol consumption also reduces other risk factors for heart disease,59 60 it does not appear that people with IRS would benefit from avoiding alcohol if they are currently light to moderate drinkers. However, alcohol is potentially addicting and can increase the risk of other diseases, so people with IRS who are not users of alcohol should consult a doctor before starting regular consumption of alcoholic beverages.
Insulin sensitivity decreases after certain stressful experiences, such as surgery,70 and decreased insulin sensitivity is associated with work-related mental and emotional stress,71 and other aspects of a stressful lifestyle.72 However, these associations have not been explored in people with IRS, nor has stress reduction been investigated as a treatment for IRS.
Vitamin E, 800–1,350 IU per day, has been shown to increase insulin sensitivity in both healthy76 and hypertensive77 people in double-blind studies. Research is needed to investigate this effect in people with IRS.
One double blind trial found that 1,500 mg per day of calcium improved insulin sensitivity in people with hypertension.78 No research on the effects of calcium in people with IRS has been done.
Magnesium deficiency can reduce insulin sensitivity,79 and low dietary intake80 and low blood levels81 of magnesium have been associated with greater insulin resistance in nondiabetic people. However, no studies of magnesium supplementation in people with IRS have been done.
Preliminary studies have reported that low zinc intake is associated with several of the risk factors common in IRS,87 and a low blood level of zinc is associated with insulin resistance in overweight people.88 However, people with IRS have not specifically been studied to determine whether they are zinc deficient or whether zinc supplements are helpful for them.
A double-blind trial showed that coenzyme Q10, 120 mg per day, reduced glucose and insulin blood levels in people with high blood pressure and heart disease.89 These results suggest that coenzyme Q10 may improve insulin sensitivity in people with components of IRS, but more research is needed.
Are there any side effects or interactions with insulin resistance syndrome?


Cranberries are Evergreen Dwarf Shrubs or Trailing Vines that can grow up to 7 feet long and up to 2 to 8 inches high. They are related to Billberries, Blueberries and Huckleberries and are found in acidic bogs (a water-logged depression filled with sphagnum moss -- peat moss -- and are so acidic and poor in available nitrogen that typical plants cannot grow there) in the cooler regions of the Northern Hemisphere. The Cranberry shrubs have dark pink flowers that have a distinct and "reflexed" petal that leaves the stylus and stamens fully exposed and pointing forward for pollunation by bees. The fruit of the berry is larger than the leaves and is intially white but turns a deep red when it is ripened. Major commercial production takes place in Masschusetts, New Jersey, Oregon, Washington and Wisconsin with beds historically located in wetlands. There are more than 100 varieties of Cranberries that are grown in North America. There is a common misconception that Cranberry beds are flooded year round when in fact they are not during the growing season. They are flooded in the Fall to facilitate harvest and again in the winter to protect from low temperatures. The most efficient harvesting method utilizes water. A field is flooded and a machine is used to stir up the water which loosens the berries. Berries, which have air-filled locules, float to the surface. They are then corralled and loaded on trucks. Flooded Cranberry bogs are regarded by locals as excellent skating rinks in winter. Harvest is September to November.
Cranberries are one of a handful of fruits that are native to North America. The Native Americans were the first to use Cranberries as food but they also were used for medicinal purposes and as a dye. Did you know the name Cranberry came from "Craneberry?" The first European settlers in America saw the expanding flower, stem, calyx and petals and decided they resembled Cranes. Cranberries are a traditional side dish at Thanksgiving in both the United States and Canada. Pilgrims had Cranberries on the 1621 Thanksgiving table. The Indians showed the pilgrims how to collect and use this fruit thus Cranberries became important in colonial New England. Colonial women invented sauces and many new recipes. New England sailors sometimes took Cranberries onboard ships to prevent scurvy (the British used limes), because, as it turns out, Cranberries are rich in vitamin C. For more fun facts about Cranberries click here.
The best way to sort and clean Cranberries is to place them in a colander in a bowl. Fill with cold water and give them a good swish around. The good Cranberries will float to the top and the mushy ones will sit just below. Feel around for the bad ones and remove. Drain and dry. Fresh Cranberries (unwashed or washed) keep well in the refrigerator for about a month. For longer storage Cranberries can be frozen. Click here to learn how to freeze Cranberries.
Cranberries are an excellent source of Fiber, Vitamin C & E, Manganese and Copper. They also are one of the most researched fruits due to their high phytonutrient and antioxidant content. Some health benefits associated with Cranberry consumption include urinary tract health and a reduced risk of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and cancer. Click here for more about health research on Cranberries from the Cranberry Institute and for more health benefits click here. When purchasing Cranberries, chose those grown in the US rather than imported. Imported Cranberries pose the greatest pesticide risk per serving over any other fruit or vegetable. One of the most common toxins sprayed on Cranberry bogs across the country, chlorpyrifos, is known as an endocrine disruptor and is linked to serious developmental damage even in "safe" low-dose amounts. However, testing on domestic and imported Cranberries by the USDA found 13 different pesticide residues on Cranberries as reported by What's On My Food.
Cranberries can be eaten raw but often the acidic taste can overwhelm the natural sweetness of the berry. They are a great addition to salads. In many food applications, sweeteners will be added to the recipe so be cautioned that commercially processed Cranberry products often have a high sugar content. Fresh Cranberries can be made into juices, jams and sauces. They can be added to all sorts of baked goods, like muffins, scones, cookies, and pies. For more savory dishes, try adding Cranberries to pilafs and stir fries by sautéing them in oil. Cranberries can be dried in a dehydrator. Click here for detailed instructions. For ten ideas about what to do with fresh Cranberries, read this article from Bon Appetit Magazine. For great Cranberry Sauce recipes check out Southern Living Magazine Thanksgiving Sides. If you have extra Cranberries and you want to tackle a fun project with your kids; here are instructions on how to make a fresh Cranberry Wreath in the Old Farmer's Almanac and for a great holiday gift idea try Cranberry Orange Scone mix from Food in Jars.

'Hey There, Polar Bear' is a 4 colour way limited edition print. Endurance, strength, acceptance and surrender are all symbolised by the Polar Bear. The white coat of the polar bear conveys the meaning that it belongs to the northern realms of ice and snow where they literally do have to surrender to the harsh elements. A strong, powerful animal which is reflected in the bright neon paint boldly showing the animals presence and energy, yet the Polar Bear is also fragile - its numbers are dwindling due to global warming, which is hinted at by the upward drips in this painting. The original polar bear was originally created in pencil, acrylic, and spray paint on canvas.
This is a limited edition print of 25. Signed and numbered by the artist.

The Mars rover suddenly becomes a "star" in 2021
"Perseverance" – the name of NASA's Mars rover is announced by Cambridge Dictionary as the word of the year 2021.
The word "Perseverance" has been looked up on the Cambridge Dictionary website more than 243,000 times globally in 2021.
The Cambridge Dictionary reveals the word of the year 2021 as "Perseverance", in recognition of the global interest in NASA's Mars mission.
Searches for the word spiked after the Perseverance rover landed on the red planet on February 18, with 30,487 searches for the word "Perseverance" between February 19 and February 25 of this year.
It has been looked up on the Cambridge Dictionary website more than 243,000 times globally in 2021.
"Perseverance" is defined by the Cambridge Dictionary as "a constant effort to do or achieve something, even if it is difficult or takes a long time".
Wendalyn Nichols, publishing director of Cambridge Dictionaries, said it "makes sense" that searches for the word spiked after NASA's Mars rover landed on the red planet.
"The Cambridge Dictionary is the world's leading website for English learners, and perseverance is not a common word that English students have in their vocabulary," she said. We often see a spike in searches for words related to current events when those words are less familiar."
The editors felt it was the right word, given the challenges of 2021, said Ms. Nichols. challenges and disruptions to our lives due to COVID-19, climate disasters, political instability and conflict. We appreciate that connection, and we think Cambridge Dictionary users should too," said Ms. Nichols.
In January this year, searches on the Cambridge Dictionary website spiked for the words "insurrection", "impeachment", "inauguration" and "acquit". acquittal), as the 2020 US presidential election captures the world's attention.
This provides further evidence that words looked up in the Cambridge Dictionary often reflect current world events, the editors say.

'Push' factor drives migrants away from Libya to Europe
By Christian Fraser BBC News
https://www.bbc.com/news/explainers-36311638
Europe migrant crisis
Media captionWatch the M.V. Aquarius rescue hundreds of migrants
It is a fool's game trying to cross the Mediterranean in a rubber boat - even as summer beckons, the days are longer and the weather supposedly improves.
Forget the mental image you might have from seaside holidays of an azure sea whose rippling waves beckon you in for a cooling dip.
I joined a migrant rescue mission out on the Mediterranean last week in the Aquarius, a search-and-rescue vessel nearly 77m long.
And it shuddered and groaned from bow to stern as it thrashed through the 3.5m swells that suddenly whip up in these treacherous waters.
So pity the plight of thousands of migrants setting out in a flimsy inflatable, most of whom are unable to swim and are weak from standing up for 10 hours on their perilous voyages.
Deaths at sea have risen ninefold since October 2014, according to the International Organization for Migration (IOM) charity.
And yet in the first three months of this year, 18,000 migrants attempted the crossing from Libya - 8,000 more than in the same period last year.
The untold story of Europe's drowned migrants
Migration to Europe explained in seven charts
Europe's migrant story enters new phase
So why do they still come?
Is it the "pull factor" - are the migrants "pulled" in the direction of Europe by the belief they will be picked up by rescue missions like the one I joined?
Or is there, in fact, an even stronger "push factor"? Are the migrants being pushed out of countries such as Libya by living conditions so horrific that even the possibility of drowning at sea seems preferable?
Drowning no deterrent
What is certain is that those European politicians who thought the stories and images of people drowning would serve as a deterrent to others were wrong.
There are estimated to be some three million migrants and refugees in Libya. And a third of them - mostly from Somalia, Sudan and Eritrea - are believed to be waiting and working towards their passage to Europe.
Image caption The Aquarius has rescued more than 1,500 people since February
Image caption Many migrants are prepared to risk all to get away from Libya
In the past three years, there have been two major European-led search-and-rescue programmes in the Mediterranean.
The first, Mare Nostrum, was run by the Italian navy and was hugely successful, saving about 100,000 lives in little over a year. Yet 18 months ago, the Italians abandoned the operation.
It was expensive and, in Europe, politically unpopular. A number of European leaders thought Mare Nostrum was exacerbating the problem of migrant voyages.
The people smugglers knew the ships were there; they knew the Italian navy would come to the rescue of their desperate cargoes.
Mare Nostrum was just too successful: perhaps - said some - it represented the "pull factor".
The focus of Operation Triton, which replaced it, was much narrower in scope. While still Italian-led, the lifesaving vessels supposedly stay closer to Italian shores. And consequently the risk of drowning has grown.
Yet still the migrants come. More than 500 have been picked up by Aquarius alone in the past seven days. Many boats sink without anyone knowing, as the bodies washing up on Libyan beaches attest.
Is it time, therefore, to look at the "push" factor?

Xenophobia and lawlessness
Libya is a country in ruins, dangerous for everyone. But it is especially dangerous if you are a black man, partly owing to deep-seated racist attitudes among the Libyan people.
The migrants, whether they are from the Horn of Africa or West Africa, are in the grip of the people smugglers who pick them up as soon as they leave their countries of origin and "usher" them through the Sahara. There is only one destination: Libya.
But it's not the gateway many believe it to be. The chaos and lawlessness in Libya feed the xenophobia. On Aquarius last week, I heard similar stories, time and again, of migrants and refugees murdered, exploited, forced to work without pay, robbed in their homes or in the streets.
And some of the worst places are the government-run detention centres for migrants.
Human Rights Watch has taken scores of testimonies that tell of whippings, electric shocks, beatings, strip-searches, "people being hung upside down from the trees".
The centres - run by Libya's interior ministry - are severely overcrowded. And often the day-to-day operations of these prisons are contracted out to the militias, who are in cahoots with the people smugglers.
On board Aquarius, I met Ansumana Badjie, 20, from Gambia.
Image caption Ansumana Badjie was kidnapped from his home
He had spent several weeks in one of these notorious centres. He had been working in Libya, trying to earn enough money for his sea crossing, but was kidnapped from his home, and imprisoned. His only crime, it seemed, was being black.
"We were given just one meal a day," he told me. "It was horrendous, we were beaten, there were no showers. There were people who disappeared. Even if I had wanted to go home, there was no way out."
Eventually he did escape, in a breakout. How he found his way to the beach was not entirely clear. But seemingly he was kept in a cavernous "hole" dug into the sand on the beach for days. "We slept in the hole, we peed in the hole,'' he said.
And when it came to the day of departure?
"Oh my God!" he exclaimed. "The boat! But there was no choice. No-one in his right mind would get in that rubber boat with 110 people. But with a gun at your back? It was the only choice I had."
"The gun in the back" - the push factor.
Forced into boat
Others - some barely into their teens - had experienced similar torture.
Zach, 13, from Ivory Coast, told me he too had been forced into the boat.
"You die or you survive," he said. "They would have shot me there on the beach. I have no parents, my brother drowned on this sea last year. And Libya? Libya was hell on earth. So why not?"

Greece 34,442 853,650 150,703
Italy 170,000 153,842 18,357
Last week, the IOM invited diplomats from Senegal, Cote d'Ivoire, Mali, Guinea Conakry, Ghana, Nigeria, Niger and Gambia to visit these Libyan detention centres. They went to the Al Garabulli centre, east of Tripoli.
The visitors met 315 West Africans there, of whom 202 expressed an interest in going back voluntarily to their countries of origin. At another centre, Abu Salim, 370 out of 450 West African migrants said they would go home.
But many of these migrants and refugees have had their passports stolen or confiscated by smugglers, criminal gangs or even their Libyan employers. The truth is that they have no means of escape.
Too often the boats are the only way out.
And not a seaworthy boat but a rubber boat; a boat with barely enough fuel to travel 12 miles to international waters, a boat with 110 people on board, standing room only.
There is more than a 50/50 chance you are going to drown.
So if that is the best decision, if that is the rational decision, how bad were their lives in their home countries? And how bad must Libya be for black Africans?

Orbedonna is the signature of the artwork created by these two artists. It is a combination of their mothers' names.
A synthesis of contrasts both artists often work within one painting to produce the final vision.
Luis Luna creates ethereal abstracts that have layers of depth as well as textural visions using natural materials. His creations are inspired by his love for music. Luis designs and builds the framing that accompanies the art and that often becomes indistinguishable from the art.
Kathy Smith began her artistic explorations as a child inspired by her aunts who were artists. She received a bachelor of fine arts from SMU and worked as an interior designer and art consultant. Upon engaging once again with artistic expression, she has created abstract and expressionistic art with an emphasis on color and texture.

Sure is better than the cheap box rosin.
I have very little experience with different rosin. This definitely doesn't build up as bad as the cheap box stuff. Very little to clean up afterwards. Grips enough to get a good sound too.

The Pros and Cons of Purchasing Charlotte Hornets Used.
Lamelo Ball drives for the duration of a Charlotte Hornets preseason game against the Washington Wizards on Oct. 10. Effectively, it's a year ahead of the final season of LaMelo Ball's rookie deal, and the infrastructure in Charlotte looks as wobbly as New Orleans' foundation did a year ago. I'm biased but Charlotte has a couple of points going for it no other group has which always tends to make them an entertaining watch. Unfortunately, the Bridges predicament has largely paralysed the group from making any other moves. Bridges is at the moment a restricted totally free agent which implies Charlotte have very small flexibility until they know more about his case which is set for a hearing on August 19.
The large query the Kings front workplace will want to ask themselves is, "Does this trade truly make us far better? " Appear on the Kings side, they get a player in Kuzma and Den Avidja that fit this team's timeline, as effectively as producing an effect on the offensive side of the ball. Boasting a record this season and possessing won seven of their previous nine, the Hornets consider their window at contention is wide open. Charlotte ranks 28th in points permitted (114.2) and 25th in defensive rating (112.5). As legitimately one of the finest defensive players in the game, Simmons would alter this in a massive way.
On February 7, 2022, Ball was named to his initially NBA All-Star Game as an injury replacement for Kevin Durant. The Hornets would clinch a spot in the Play-In Tournament for the second consecutive time despite the fact that losing to fellow Southeast division foe the Atlanta Hawks 132–103. On April 22, 2022, the Hornets fired head coach James Borrego immediately after four seasons with the team. The team completed the 2021–2022 season with an 43–39 overall record.
I have ranked LaMelo Ball as my #2 overall PG in both points and categories leagues. I do not know if it's probable to underrate an All-Star, going into his third year, but I think men and women are doing it, as consensus on him is far as well low. Melo averaged 20.1 points, 6.7 boards, 2. stocks, and 7.six assists last year on roughly 32 minutes. I expect an improvement for every single of those categories on closer to 36 minutes per game. What's even more impressive is that he's averaging 4.7 offensive rebounds per game, which is surely a essential explanation for the Hornets' two-1 begin to the season. Richards was the 42nd all round pick in the 2022 NBA Draft, and he only played in 18 games during his rookie season.
The Hornets have an official cheerleading squad known as the Charlotte Honey Bees. The Honey Bees execute sideline dances as nicely as center-court dances for the duration of games. They also represent the Hornets brand as ambassadors to the community and are involved in neighborhood service activities and charity functions. When the group was identified as the Bobcats, the cheerleaders had been referred to as the Lady Cats.
In a mailbag for The Charlotte Observer , Boone says Hornets forward Kelly Oubre is a player worth keeping an eye on this season. As Boone outlines, Oubre would be a movable asset if the group decides to sell, but he appears to have interest in remaining in Charlotte if the club is interested in keeping him. Ball, who missed the first 13 games of the Hornets' season due to a left ankle sprain, re-injured his ankle in his third game back on November 16. He has been sidelined for 11 much more games considering the fact that then and has now been on the shelf for 24 of 27 total contests during the first third of the season.
The Charlotte Hornets last made the playoffs in 2016, when they lost the Eastern Conference 1st Round. They've been in the playoffs a total of ten instances in their 33 seasons. The Bobcats had been born out of the controversy of the Charlotte Hornets relocating soon after the 2002 season. Charlotte which had often had superior attendance for its NBA games lost the Hornets simply because the city wouldnt make a new arena for Hornets owner George Shinn.
We're going to hear a entire heck of a lot about a possible Ben Simmons trade among now and the February ten NBA trade deadline. The 3-time All-Star has remained away from the group via the 1st 46 games of the season right after requesting a trade last summer. For the Lakers, the deal would be a risky a single as Hayward has two additional original site years left on his deal as opposed to Westbrook's 1. On top of that, though the talented wing has been pretty helpful when on the court, he has struggled to remain healthy, missing at least 30 games in every single of the past 3 seasons.
4 days later, the group notched its initially-ever victory more than the Los Angeles Clippers, 117–105. On December 23, 1988, the Hornets actually gave their fans a thing to cheer about, beating Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls 103–101 in Jordan's initially return to North Carolina as a specialist. The Hornets completed their inaugural season with a record of 20–62.
Front office and coaching were crucial focuses for the Bobcats through the 2007 off-season. Rod Higgins was hired as basic manager, and Sam Vincent was hired as the second head coach in franchise history. In the 2007 NBA draft, Brandan Wright was selected by the Bobcats with the eighth choose he was subsequently traded to Golden State for Jason Richardson. The Bobcats had been navigate to this website unable to capitalize on off-season moves, finishing the 2007–08 season with a 32–50 record. The group struggled amid rumors of players clashing with the coach. Soon after a year, through which he struggled with personnel choices, Sam Vincent was fired in April 2008.

Southmead hospital in Bristol is a new state of the art hospital which was completed in 2014. Restaurant Design Associates (RDA) were tasked with the full design and install of vacant retail areas, all of which were of course to be in-keephing with the already impressive interior architecture.
There were three separate retail spaces taken up by our client. We designed and installed two separate licensed Costa Coffee units; one small format and one large format. Both presented challenges and were detailed in close liaison with various parties including our client, the NHS Trust, the local building and fire authority and Costa's brand guardians. RDA developed a design which satisfied the franchisee's operational needs, Costa's brand standards, building regulations, and within a unique and complex fire strategy which was already in existence.
A third area, an 'Amigo' shop was also installed adjacent the main entrance to the hospital as a temporary solution until such time in 2015 when RDA will convert this to a M&S Simply Food. This is pending the completion of a second phase build.


The sales person that came and gave us a quote wasn't a hard sale. Other guys drop their price and keep coming down as you push them out the door. He came in pretty close to what we were looking for. I even went with him over friends I have in the business!
I wanted to let you know how pleased I am with my decision to once again use Brandywine Exteriors. The work was accomplished in the promised time frame, the workers went about their job in a professional manner. After they left, all that remained was a great looking new roof! The true test was how quickly you would fix the hole and your company delivered. The promptness of Shawn, his dedication to detail, and his going above and beyond fixing the hole was outstanding. I have begun and will continue to recommend Brandywine Exteriors. Please thank you staff for me and tell them a job very well done.
The job was finished in 2 days. Not only did they do a quality job, they also went above and beyond their duties and removed the wasp nest from my attic. I have done my research on Angie's list before I chose Brandywine. Overall, I get the best value from Brandywine's services due to high-quality product and awesome warranty they offer. Definitely would recommend them to my neighbors and friends.
Very pleased from initial meeting though final inspection. They left no signs that they were even on my property, except for a beautiful new roof. I highly recommend their roofing services!! Thank you Brandywine Exteriors.
The sales guy wasn't pushy with sales. He was helpful with time and payment.I would like to recognize, the main guy that did the quote that was also on site, for exceptional service.
I was really impressed. I saw them on the street where they were building and asked them about it. I liked the professionalism of how they presented the material and everything. I was most satisfied with the way the guys worked together. They were very impressive. They were workers, like bees on honey, and they were really good. I did get some business cards and would definitely pass them out to anyone in the neighborhood who is interested. Shawn Boesen provided exceptional service.
Brandywine Exteriors were easy to deal with, very professional, and they followed through on things. I was very satisfied that they did what they said they were going to do in a timely fashion. They were very attention to my needs.Everyone I dealt with from the Salesperson to the crew did a very good job.
I was most satisfied they explained everything, I knew what to expect, they were prompt, and showed up on time.
I would like to recognize my salesperson, he was very good.
I couldn't be happier with any aspect of the job that Brandywine Exteriors did on my roof!! My house & large shed look amazing & totally different! Josh and his crew were neat, polite, and the cleanup was great--when they left it was just as if they had never been here. Josh was very easy to deal with. He listened to my needs as a customer & didn't try to sell me anything that I didn't need or want. I was so pleased with his hardworking crew that I baked them a pan of homemade brownies to help them get through the end of their long day! I'm VERY sorry that my township will not allow and advertising sign on my lawn, so hope this review reaches a lot of people & brings more business to this terrific company. Thanks again & please feel free have anyone who wants to see your work come by & look at my awesome roof.
My rating is based on his quickness to respond to the initial call, setting up a meeting within 3 hours, knowledgeable about product, installation and eagerness to meet any and all condo association stipulations. Last but not least he said he has a one year price but gave his BEST price upfront so there was no haggling necessary. Finally NO money until job installation 100 pct. completed to out satisfaction. What else can you ask for?
It went great. From the initial consultation with Kevin, I knew this was the company that we wanted to use. Kevin did a great job assessing our needs and budget. I was impressed with his knowledge of windows. He did a great job explaining the differences between several products and talking about the company. The install went smoothly with no issues and was completed in one day, John and Jason did a great job installing the windows, they were quiet and very neat. They cleaned up all the mess and took all of the debris and old windows with them. We couldn't be happier with out new windows. They all seemed very concerned with our satisfaction and wanted to make sure that we were happy with the final product. I would highly recommend Brandywine Exteriors and we will be using them again for several other projects, including replacing the remaining windows in our home.
Guys were quick, roof in a day, and almost couldn't tell they had been there, besides the sharp new roof!
"Thank you so much for replacing the vinyl siding and scratched windows in the kitchen. We really appreciate the customer attention and the follow up to the issues. It looks great. P.S. We will pass on your company to others as a place to do business - thats a given!"
My wife and I got quotes from a few other companies, but we decided to go with Brandywine Exteriors. We probably had 3 or 4 of our neighbors come up to us afterwards and ask who did the work. I would definitely use them again. Great job Guys.
I was most satisfied with the quality of workmanship. I had great communication with Brandywine Exteriors. They were on time. The crew was amazing. My crew was efficient and well organized. They were a nice crew. The project manager was awesome.
They exceeded our expectations. The communication and making sure they addressed our concerns and questions was great. They were responsive. They even came back out and surveyed with us and made sure they answered questions. They wanted to make sure that we were satisfied. That is unheard of. They were very professional.
Brandywine Exteriors recently installed a new roof and windows on our home. The staff was professional and polite at all times. They were here for a period of three days. I feel as though we received a good quality product at a fair price. The crew did an excellent job containing their mess and made sure to clean up everything afterwards. I have three children and was concerned about debris on the grass. We have yet to find anything! The windows were installed in a timely manner and look great. All of the work was done on time and within the price we agreed upon. I would not hesitate to recommend Brandywine Exteriors to a friend!
We could not say enough about the quality of work and the fabulous job that Brandywine Exteriors did for us!
Brandywine Exteriors recently installed windows at my home. They did a wonderful job and I could not be happier with the service I received. The entire crew did a great job including sales, office and installers. I would highly recommend them.

Q: Access Joomla 3.2 article title from the module displayed alongside I'm writing a Joomla! module in which I need to display current article title.
I've got this code found somewhere here on a stackoverflow:
<?php
$option = JRequest::getCmd('option');
$view = JRequest::getCmd('view');
$ids = explode(':',JRequest::getString('id'));
$article_id = $ids[0];
$article =& JTable::getInstance("content");
$article->load($article_id);
echo $article->get("title");
?>

Although it works, it uses deprecated class JRequest, because it's from Joomla 1.7 and I use 3.2.2. Can someone tell me how to rewrite it to be valid with Joomla 3.2 ?

A: You can use the following code which uses up to date coding standards:
$input = JFactory::getApplication()->input;
$id = $input->getInt('id'); //get the article ID
$article = JTable::getInstance('content');
$article->load($id);

echo $article->get('title'); // display the article title

Hope this helps

Q: After recompiling vim to use python 3, I still get "requires Vim compiled with Python 2.x support" from YCM I followed the instructions at https://github.com/ycm-core/YouCompleteMe/wiki/Building-Vim-from-source which included adding python3 support.  Then I installed ycm per the instructions at https://github.com/ycm-core/YouCompleteMe/wiki/Full-Installation-Guide.
And it still complains with "YouCompleteMe unavailable: requires Vim compiled with Python 2.x support"
Since the instructions to add Python 3 came from the ycm-core, I would think that somehow ycm knows to use it.  But no.
So did I miss a step?

A: I apparently used outdated instructions.  The vim install was good, but the YCM install instructions were old.
What I did was remove the directory .vim/bundle/YouCompleteMe/ completely and add
.vim/bundle/YouCompleteMe/
To the proper place in .vimrc, then run
:PluginInstall from within vim.
Then I went to .vim/bundle/YouCompleteMe and ran
python3 install.py
The previous instructions didn't provide a install.py file.

Restart A Heart With The British Heart Foundation
Reds in the Community and Barnsley Football Club are proud to be supporting the British Heart Foundation's Restart A Heart Day campaign.
16 October 2019 – Only 31% of people in the UK who haven't had professional training on a CPR course are likely to help someone who has collapsed and stopped breathing.
Research by The Resuscitation Council (UK) and St John Ambulance to mark the sixth annual 'Restart a Heart' Day shows that the general public are afraid to give cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) without training, putting lives in danger.
'Stranger danger' and 'busyness bias' were also cited as possible reasons for not helping someone who might have collapsed or stopped breathing in front of them. Just 64% would give CPR to a stranger – compared to 83% who would help a family member and only 60% of respondents are likely to give CPR in a crowded location, compared to 79%, if they were the only ones around.
The survey of 2326 people by YouGov, which asked respondents to consider what would make them more or less likely to intervene in a cardiac arrest, clearly shows the positive effect of CPR training. An impressive 71% of people who have had some first aid professional training would be prepared to stop and help someone if they had a cardiac arrest in any situation.
To mark the day, everyone at Oakwell is joining the British Heart Foundation and charities across the UK in urging people to learn CPR.
It is, of course, a subject that is all too prominent in the minds of us all, following the devastating passing of 66-year-old Reds fan Jeffrey Wroe at the recent Derby County fixture.
Andy Lockey, Vice President of the Resuscitation Council (UK) and Restart a Heart Day Lead said: "Every minute without CPR and defibrillation reduces someone's chance of survival by up to 10%. Training is the biggest factor in the likelihood of intervention – validating the need for as many people as possible to learn the simple skills needed to save a life. Cardiac arrest can happen to anyone, at any time. In an emergency, CPR can't wait."
On and around 16 October, charities and ambulance trusts are coming together for Restart a Heart day to host events and visit schools across the UK to provide young people and adults with the skills and confidence to give life-saving CPR to anyone who needs it.
The initiative, led by Resuscitation Council (UK) in partnership with St John Ambulance, The British Heart Foundation, British Red Cross, and Yorkshire Ambulance Service and with participation from every UK Ambulance service, aims to improve survival rates from out of hospital cardiac arrests.
Organisations across the world are highlighting this day by performing CPR in iconic locations – including Stonehenge in Wiltshire, down in England's last deep coal mine in Yorkshire, the Colosseum in Rome, and Mecca in Saudi Arabia.
For more information on Restart a Heart day and how you can get involved, visit resus.org.uk/rsah.
Stephen Powis, National Medical Director of NHS England said: "While the NHS is stepping up with investment in better treatment and more convenient access to care and prevention support, this campaign to raise awareness of CPR – which dramatically increases people's chance of surviving a cardiac arrest – will help everyone to help the NHS by giving people the practical skills and confidence they need to be a lifesaver."
