Q: How to automate kubernetes deployments? I'm creating a kubernetes deployment using the following command:
kubectl run my-app --image=ecr.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/my-app:v1 -l name=my-app --replicas=1

Now I want to update my-app to v2. Following this blog post it seems the recommended way is to use:
kubectl edit deployment/my-app

The problem is this wants to open a text editor so Im not sure how I can automate this task in my continuous deployment environment. Ideally, I'd like to run a command something like:
kubectl edit deployment/update --image=ecr.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/my-app:v2

How can I script this so that it doesn't open the text editor?

A: Please see my answer to the very similar question How can I edit a Deployment without modify the file manually?. It involves running kubectl patch.


This card is going to some friends of ours in Kentucky. Their furry four legged baby recently crossed over the Rainbow Bridge. Boston (or, Bossy, as many of the neighbors called him) was such a sweetheart who roamed the neighborhood and knew all the neighbors. My favorite and most vivid memory of him was the day he and Chynna, another neighbor's dog sat for photos with my golden retriever/chow mix Sammy on her "sweet" sixteenth birthday. My dear neighbor set her kitchen table with a pretty tablecloth, good china and silver for 3 place settings. In the center of the table was a very large, many wicked, candle sitting on a cake plate resembling a birthday cake. In 3 chairs placed around the table were Sammy, Boston and Chynna, all wearing party hats. It was the funniest sight I and my neighbors have ever seen. We laughed ourselves silly while all three dogs sat quite contentedly around the table.
Paper from my stash, sentiment from Club Scrap.
I'm also submitting this for the current Skipping Stones Designs challenge #108.
Gorgeous thoughtful card, I'm sure it'll be appreciated.
This is super! Fab design and colors and patterns = Love your card!
This is a very sweet card! I'm so sorry for your friends' loss! Thank you for playing along with us over at Skipping Stones Design!
What a thoughtful card Carol. Loved the story. It made me smile. My neighbour lost her dog of 18 yrs.( I think) yesterday too. I know it is a great loss to her. I am sure your friend will love the card.
Love your sweet card and know your friend will too. You must share some pictures of that birthday party sometime....cracks me up just thinking about it!

In January of this year I made a concious effort to improve my overall fitness and get a fitter leaner body.... During the previous 12 months I had attempted to get fit, and at times went to the gym/pool regularly, but often let my fitness regime lapse.
Since 4th January 2011 I have been to the gym 5 days a week every week, doing aerobic exercise on the rower, the treadmill and cycling. I swim regularly and take part in a aqua aerobics class once a week. On average I workout for about an hour... sometimes more, sometimes a little less.
I wonder if anyone has any tips to kickstart the weight loss again, as I seem to have plateaued.
I have very positive opinion for this forum because i really get benefit from here.So i will appreciate and say thanks to all the members.

It's been a poor tournament for two-time World Champions Argentina but somehow, despite only picking up a solitary point from their first two games, the South Americans are still in with a chance of making it to the knockouts.
If they are to progress at Russia 2018, Argentina must beat Nigeria in Saint Petersburg on Tuesday night and hope that the result from the Iceland v Croatia game goes their way. There are a number of permutations involved but firstly, the Argentines just have to win and this new customer offer from Coral carries excellent enhanced odds of 40/1* if they can do just that.
Nigeria have three points at this stage of the competition but it's Argentina who start here as clear favourites at best open market odds of 7/12 with Unibet for the win. The draw is available at a top price of 7/2 with BetFred while victory for the Nigerians completes the three options at a best of 113/20 with MarathonBet.
Those figures underline the support for Argentina in the market and they also highlight the potential for this price boosted deal from Coral. If you'd like to take it further, here's how it works.
This offer is only available to new customers of Coral so, if you do not already hold an account here, you can head over via the link to the sign up page and complete some very basic information. Send it across using a secure server and you should be validated and confirmed as a new account holder in five minutes or less.
From here, you should find yourself at the cashier's page where you can add some funds to cover the bet. The minimum deposit is set here at £5.00 and please avoid using Skrill, Neteller or PaySafeCard to do this as they are specifically excluded and will render the offer null and void.
Take out a debit or credit card, deposit £5.00 or more, and you're ready to move on to the next phase.
Funds should be freed up straight away and you can then stake the fixed amount of £1.00 on Argentina to beat Nigeria when the teams meet in Saint Petersburg on Tuesday June 26, 2018. The game kicks off at 7pm UK time and is being picked up live by BBC One so you can watch it all unfold in real time if you prefer.
An initial profit will be made in cash, based on Coral's standard market price for an Argentina win and that should appear in your account shortly after the final whistle. The balance, up to that enhanced odds figure of 40/1, will then arrive as a series of free bet tokens within 24 hours.
Those tokens must be used within 4 days or they will expire and, as an alternative to the above scenario, if Nigeria win or the game is drawn, the bet technically fails but you will receive a free bet token worth £5.00 as a consolation.
That £5.00 token will also carry the same 4 day limit and while that completes a full summary of the main points of this deal, you are free to check all terms and conditions as they appear on the Coral promotions page.
Anyone looking at the form guide may wish to steer clear of Argentina in this match and while the side were undoubtedly poor against Iceland and Croatia, they know that nothing less than a win against Nigeria will do.
We've seen them do it before after slow starts in previous World Cups, most notably in 1990 when Argentina overcame a 1-0 opening defeat against Cameroon to make it all the way to the final. This isn't a certain bet but the Argentinians have the stronger side and if Messi and co can raise their game, they can still deliver at huge odds of 40/1 for new Coral customers.

Home Content Basics Generating Digital Content with Cross-Platform Software Tools
Generating Digital Content with Cross-Platform Software Tools
Dr Kumar Gaurav
All of us consume digital content every day in some form or the other, be it an e-zine, an e-newspaper or an online research report. This article lists a few open source software tools that aid the generation of such content.
Digital content is required for assorted applications such as authoring and publishing e-books, e-magazines, tutorials, e-notebooks, infographics, book reviews, research reports, corporate white papers, government reports, research, and so on.
Electronic publication also supports students by providing content and analytics when they prepare for their examinations, without the need for hard copies of different books. Students can now get content from international authors across the globe by accessing the Web and mobile applications of digital publishers. E-publication offers a broad variety of books that may not be accessible to readers through the regular bookstore due to the lack of demand for conventional printed copies. E-publishing allows independent writers to sell books that conventional publishers may be reluctant to take on due to low profitability. It is becoming more and more popular for children's stories and enriching their knowledge in assorted domains.
Though electronic publication (also known as Internet publishing or website publishing) is nowadays very popular, various non-network electronic publications, such as CD and DVD encyclopaedias, and technological and reference publications are also being relied upon by smartphone users.
Amazon.com has a digital publishing division with its own website for self-published books under Kindle Direct Publishing. Developers can create and launch games and applications in Google Play Store without third party intervention. Musicians can record and upload their music to iTunes, which digitally publishes the music and makes it open to iPods, iPhones and other devices. The authors can use their delivery network, which is a type of digital publication, when you listen to Pandora, Spotify and all other music services online.
It often takes three to six months to plan and print magazines and catalogues. Digital copies can be obtained in a fraction of the time for everyone to view. When printing is finished, it is too late to add material, photographs or to fix errors. Quick, convenient and inexpensive updates are available for digital publications.
Figure 1: Assorted formats for digital content generation
Digital catalogues allow users to click for more details or to place instant orders, unlike printed catalogues. E-catalogues can also allow customers to access feedback and evaluations or voice their views on a product. The impulse buyer is much more susceptible to Internet catalogues than to a paper edition.
Without giving up your own copy, multimedia catalogues can be exchanged with friends, families and social networks. Digital platforms and every form of media provide an overarching benefit relative to print materials – written material is hardly viral, but promotions that are initiated by digital technologies are, and include video messaging in particular.
With the increasing formats of digital content, there is need to work on effective and high performance tools so that freelance writers, authors and publication agencies can create content with greater focus.
The formats for creation of digital content and e-books include the following:
Portable Document Format (PDF)
Comic book archives
FictionBook XML format
MOBI for Kindle e-books

Started by Martin Isaksson and Ellinor Isaksson way back in 1997, Chokladfabriken have established themselves as one of Stockholm's favourite chocolate artists. And now they're teaming up with Baileys for a new treat. For the Christmas season, they're launching a praline range created by Martin, Chokladfabriken's in-house Willy Wonka.
The range consists of various boxes of pralines in different flavour combinations, made with Baileys Original, Baileys Chocolat Luxe, Baileys Iced Coffee Latte and Baileys Almande (the Almande is the vegan option).
"We have long wanted to make a praline box, and now with Chokladfabriken we've found the perfect partner. Martin had, with Christmas in mind, free hands to interpret our Baileys varieties and it resulted in pralines with five fantastic flavour combinations. Now we're giving our customers more variety and challenging the traditional praline box", says Malin Möllerberg, PR at Baileys' parent company Diageo.
The Chokladfabriken/Baileys praline range is available at Chokladfabriken outlets between Nov 30 and Jan 13.

Finance chairman seeks federal injunction to halt ethics proceedings
Magdalene Perez, Staff Writer
Joseph Tarzia, a long-time board member was voted by the board (with a tie broken by Mayor Michael Pavia) to be the chair of the Board of Fianance during a meeting at the Government Center in Stamford, Conn. on Wednesday, Dec. 2, 2009. Joe TarziaFile Photo
STAMFORD -- Board of Finance Chairman Joe Tarzia is seeking a court order that would block the city ethics board from opening hearings Tuesday in a complaint against him, city Director of Legal Affairs Michael Larobina said.
Tarzia is facing ethics hearings in two complaints alleging he improperly attempted to influence disciplinary actions against city employees.
At 9:30 a.m. Tuesday, a U.S. District Court judge in Hartford is scheduled to hear a motion to issue a temporary injunction that would block the city ethics board from moving forward in the case until further action is taken in a federal lawsuit Tarzia filed earlier this month, Larobina said.
Board of Ethics Chairman Dan Young said the court's entertainment of the motion means it is "up in the air" whether the board will be able to move forward with its first hearing Tuesday afternoon. The board had been scheduled to begin hearings in the first complaint, filed by city Human Resources Generalist Tania Barnes, at the Stamford Government Center at 1 p.m. Hearings in the second complaint, filed by city Fleet Manager Mike Scacco, are scheduled to begin Oct. 25.
"If we can, we're still going to proceed at 1 p.m.," Young said Monday.
Tuesday's motion is the result of a lawsuit Tarzia filed Oct. 7. The suit alleges Barnes and Scacco worked with other city officials to fabricate the allegations of ethics violations in retaliation for the Republican elected official's efforts to expose nepotism and waste in city government. The suit, which claims the city employees broke the law by retaliating against Tarzia for exercising his right to free speech, also names two top city officials, Director of Operations Ernie Orgera and Parks Superintendent Mickey Docimo, as well as the city ethics board and city of Stamford, as defendants in the case.
Reached late Monday evening, Tarzia's lawyer, Joe Sargent, said the outcome Tuesday would depend on the judge's decision.

Q: How to click to show various elements without duplicate the function? I know how to make a toggle:

Hello

World

However, if I have several texts to click like that, how to keep it short by not duplicate the script? That is, if I have:

Hello

World

Hi

Earth

...

I see you

Universe

then what can I do to not duplicate n functions?

A: let your function=text() accept one parameter named id. Then in the HTML, pass the ID of one Dom element you'd like to toggle.
Even you can create another function (ex: textAll), it accepts one parameter of css selector. Then uses document.querySelectorAll and for-loop to toggle all elements match the selector.
Like below demo:

function text(id) {
  var x = document.getElementById(id);
  if (x.style.display === "none") {
    x.style.display = "block";
  } else {
    x.style.display = "none";
  }
}

function textAll(selectorPath) {
  var items = document.querySelectorAll(selectorPath);
  [...items].forEach(x => {
    if (x.style.display === "none") {
      x.style.display = "block";
    } else {
      x.style.display = "none";
    }
  })
}

Hello

World

A

A1

C

C1

All with ID

All with ID

All

All

A: You could do something like this:

Hello

World

Hello

World

This will shorten the code, but will mean you have to add a
value="n"

tag into every clickable div

A: You could pass a value in the function call to indicate which id you want the function to refer to:

function text(id) {
  var x = document.getElementById(id);
  if (x.style.display === "none") {
    x.style.display = "block";
  } else {
    x.style.display = "none";
  }
}

Hello

World

Hi

Earth

Still manual, but adds minimal complexity, and no need to duplicate the function.

A: you need to use class selector and dom traversing for standard coding
i think it's smart solution ..
you can try this

document.querySelectorAll(".button").forEach(function (el) {
            el.addEventListener('click', function (e) {
                e.preventDefault();

                if (e.target.nextElementSibling.classList.contains('display')) {

                    e.target.nextElementSibling.classList.remove('display');
                }
                else  {

                   e.target.nextElementSibling.classList.add('display');
                }

            })
        });
.display{
    display: none;
  }
<button class="button">Click</button>

World

<button class="button">Click</button>

World

<button class="button">Click</button>

World

A: How about jQuery instead much fewer lines?
See this example: https://jsfiddle.net/d9q8rcag/
$(document).ready(function(){
    $('.clicker').click(function(){
        $(this).parent().find('.click').toggle();
    });
});

Does that help?

Josh Peck's upcoming project with Drake Bell is not a Drake Josh reboot.
ET's kid correspondent, Devin Trey Campbell, spoke with the new dad at the 2019 Kids' Choice Awards in Los Angeles on Saturday, where he spilled details on the collaboration he and Bell have in the works.
"It's going to be good. Y'all will like it," he added.
Peck also opened up about his friendship with his former Grandfathered co-star, John Stamos, and how they've gotten closer since both becoming dads. Peck welcomed his first child, son Max, with wife Paige O'Brien in December, while Stamos and his wife, Caitlin McHugh, welcomed son Billy last April.
"Actually, John Stamos brought Billy to the hospital to meet Max. So, it was really special. I just can't believe I'm friends with John Stamos! It was a very cute moment, but let's talk about how I have famous friends," Peck joked.

Q: Swift launch view only when data received I'm getting info from an API using the following function where I pass in a string of a word. Sometimes the word doesn't available in the API if it doesn't available I generate a new word and try that one.
The problem is because this is an asynchronous function when I launch the page where the value from the API appears it is sometimes empty because the function is still running in the background trying to generate a word that exists in the API.
How can I make sure the page launches only when the data been received from the api ?
static func wordDefin (word : String, completion: @escaping (_ def: String )->(String)) {
        let wordEncoded = word.addingPercentEncoding(withAllowedCharacters: .urlQueryAllowed)
        let uri = URL(string:"https://dictapi.lexicala.com/search?source=global&language=he&morph=false&text=" + wordEncoded! )
        if let unwrappedURL = uri {
            var request = URLRequest(url: unwrappedURL);request.addValue("Basic bmV0YXlhbWluOk5ldGF5YW1pbjg5Kg==", forHTTPHeaderField: "Authorization")
            let dataTask = URLSession.shared.dataTask(with: request) { (data, response, error) in
                do {
                if let data = data {
                    let decoder = JSONDecoder()
                    let empty = try decoder.decode(Empty.self, from: data)
                    if (empty.results?.isEmpty)!{
                        print("oops looks like the word :" + word)
                        game.wordsList.removeAll(where: { ($0) == game.word })
                        game.floffWords.removeAll(where: { ($0) == game.word })
                        helper.newGame()
                    } else {
                        let definition =  empty.results?[0].senses?[0].definition
                        _ = completion(definition ?? "test")
                        return
                    }
                    }
                }
                catch {
                    print("connection")
                    print(error)
                }
        }
            dataTask.resume()
        }
    }

A: You can't stop a view controller from "launching" itself (except not to push/present/show it at all). Once you push/present/show it, its lifecycle cannot—and should not—be stopped. Therefore, it's your responsibility to load the appropriate UI for the "loading state", which may be a blank view controller with a loading spinner. You can do this however you want, including loading the full UI with .isHidden = true set for all view objects. The idea is to do as much pre-loading of the UI as possible while the database is working in the background so that when the data is ready, you can display the full UI with as little work as possible.
What I'd suggest is after you've loaded the UI in its "loading" configuration, download the data as the final step in your flow and use a completion handler to finish the task:
override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()

    loadData { (result) in
        // load full UI
    }

}

Your data method may look something like this:
private func loadData(completion: @escaping (_ result: Result) -> Void) {
    ...
}

EDIT
Consider creating a data manager that operates along the following lines. Because the data manager is a class (a reference type), when you pass it forward to other view controllers, they all point to the same instance of the manager. Therefore, changes that any of the view controllers make to it are seen by the other view controllers. That means when you push a new view controller and it's time to update a label, access it from the data property. And if it's not ready, wait for the data manager to notify the view controller when it is ready.
class GameDataManager {

    // stores game properties
    // updates game properties
    // does all thing game data

    var score = 0
    var word: String?

}

class MainViewController: UIViewController {

    let data = GameDataManager()

    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()

        // when you push to another view controller, point it to the data manager
        let someVC = SomeOtherViewController()
        someVC.data = data

    }

}

class SomeOtherViewController: UIViewController {

    var data: GameDataManager?

    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()

        if let word = data?.word {
            print(word)
        }

    }

}

class AnyViewController: UIViewController {

    var data: GameDataManager?

Washington Black will be available on Aug. 28, 2018. (Tamara Poppitt, HarperCollins Canada)
Our top pick: Washington Black by Esi Edugyan
What's it about: Washington Black tells the story of 11-year-old Washington Black, a slave on a Barbados sugar plantation.

Werder Bremen forward Max Kruse has boosted his credentials for a place at the World Cup next summer by sending an unequivocal reminder of his talent to Germany coach Joachim Löw on Matchday 12.
There could be only one interpretation of the 29-year-old's hat-trick in Bremen's 4-0 win over Hannover – a feat that came pre-announced, making Kruse's determination to represent his country in Russia all the more credible.
"I have faith in my ability," he said 48 hours before putting Hannover to the sword on Sunday. "Once you've had your foot in the door once, it's only normal that you hope to be involved again. I'm feeling good; I'm 100 per cent and there can be no excuses."
With six months to go before Löw names the squad he hopes will defend the World Cup title next summer, Kruse could not have been clearer – both with his words off the field, and then his actions on it, with his third hat-trick in the Bundesliga.
After five weeks out due to a broken collarbone, it is no coincidence that Bremen celebrated their first win in the Bundesliga this season with Kruse in control. "I want him more central, in front of the goal," said new Bremen coach Florian Kohfeldt, whose tactical transition was repaid.
In Sunday's 90 minutes, Bremen scored as many as they had in all of their previous 11 games combined this season, thanks to one man in particular.
With an assist for Fin Bartels' opener and then his hat-trick, Kruse has had his shackles removed by Kohfeldt, and Bremen fans can breathe a big sigh of relief. "Max is absolutely lethal in front of goal," said team-mate Maximilian Eggestein of the Bundesliga's Matchday 12 Man of the Matchday.
With 13 goals and seven assists in the second half of last season, Kruse's timely return to form at the weekend was just what the northern Germany club needed to lift their spirits and give them hope of a repeat performance between now and May.
"We've done everything we intented," Kruse said. "Finally, we've played good football again. We worked hard during the international break on tactics, and this gave us courage. I'm really, really happy to have scored again, but we've taken long enough to get this first win of the season and we still only have eight points, so we can't get carried away. We need to work hard – there's a long way to go still."
Nevertheless, that way now looks less riddled thanks to Kruse's return to form, and timely reminder of what he can do – for club and for country.


Acting Pentagon chief Patrick Shanahan made an unannounced visit to the Iraqi capital on Tuesday for talks on the sensitive issue of a continued US troop presence after Washington withdraws from neighbouring Syria.
Shanahan is keen to reassure Iraqi leaders after President Donald Trump angered many by saying he wanted to maintain some troops at the Al-Asad airbase, northwest of Baghdad, to keep an eye on Iran.
The acting defence secretary, who flew in from Afghanistan on his foreign tour since taking office last month, was due to hold talks with Prime Minister Adel Abdel Mahdi and top military advisers, as well as Lieutenant General Paul LaCamera, the commander of anti-IS coalition forces.
"Our main partnership and military activity in Iraq is the de-ISIS (IS) mission," a senior Pentagon official told journalists travelling with Shanahan, keeping the focus on the fight against Islamic State jihadists.
Washington was also pressing its allies to repatriate their nationals captured and taken prisoner after fighting fought for IS in Iraq and Syria, the official said.
"We think coalition members need to take responsibility for their citizens who are fighters. It's been a message we've delivered time and time again. And we are seeing hopeful progress," he said.
The plan, judged hasty by both US allies and senior figures within Trump's own administration, prompted the resignation of Shanahan's predecessor, Jim Mattis.
But with US-backed Kurdish-led fighters poised to overrun the Islamic State group's last tiny enclave in eastern Syria, perhaps as early as this week, the withdrawal, which other administration figures had managed to slow, is now likely to gather pace.
Trump's comments about the al-Asad airbase came after the US president had already angered Iraqi leaders in December by paying a Christmas visit to US troops based there without travelling to Baghdad to talk with them.
"We spent a fortune on building this incredible base. We might as well keep it," Trump said in the CBS interview.
"One of the reasons I want to keep it is because I want to be looking a little bit at Iran because Iran is a real problem," he added.
It is backed by both of Iraq's most powerful political groupings, the nationalist alliance led by radical Shiite cleric Moqtada Sadr, and the pro-Iran movement of former anti-IS fighters.
At a rare joint news conference on Monday, the two groupings demanded at the very least a "new agreement" setting tight conditions on any future foreign troop presence.
Following the US-led invasion that overthrew since-executed dictator Saddam Hussein in 2003, US troop numbers peaked at some 170,000 before a full withdrawal was completed in 2011.
Troops returned to Iraq in 2014 as part of an international coalition set up to fight IS after it swept through much of the north and west as well as swathes of neighbouring Syria that year.

A leading AIDS physician looks at the advantages and disadvantages of once-a day treatment with two new fixed-dose combinations of previously approved drugs, for patients who are first starting antiretrovirals.
Diver Greg Louganis and actor Chad Allen spoke in New York at a public forum to raise awareness of depression in the gay community. They will speak again in San Francisco.
A study of medical records found that combining the antibiotic erythromycin with strong inhibitors of the liver enzyme CYP3A increased the risk of sudden death from cardiac causes -- probably by abnormally raising the blood levels of erythromycin.
The possibility of using Kaletra alone for selected patients instead of three or more antiretrovirals has led to controversy among HIV physicians, reviewed in a short article published by the American Foundation for AIDS Research.
The U.S. National Institutes of Health has proposed making reports of NIH-funded research freely available six months after their commercial publication. We show why this proposal is a step forward but far from a solution to the problem. We also refer readers to a micropayment idea we developed that might ease some of the remaining problems.


Long Wooden Spoon was first created and developed with one main goal in mind. Quality. Simply fed up with commercial quanity and lack of quality, LWS was created with two friends, a cluttered garage and an undying passion for craft beer. Starting with basic knowledge, basic equipment and well, basically nothing, we created our first brew. In the fall of 2009, receiving steam burns while stirring a pot of boiling wort with a wooden spoon, the comment was made, "man, I wish we had a long wooden spoon!" The name stuck. With the support and approval of still living family and friends we began to entertain the thought of brewing craft beer on a much larger scale. With everyone wanting to buy or begging for our beer, we decided it was time to make it a reality. Though small, brewing quality beer is still our passion. Beer is what brought us together and beer is what we make.

Fawlty Towers 2? John Cleese has a new BBC sitcom - and it starts this week
Tuesday, 13 February, 2018, 10:44
Having spent decades away from British sitcoms, veteran comedy performer John Cleese is returning to television for a starring role in new retirement comedy, Hold the Sunset, this week.
Cleese's last major work on a British sitcom was back in 1979, when he wrote and starred in the second series of Fawlty Towers.
He's mellowed out in the 40 years since then, and it's the softer, 'sunset years' of life that Hold the Sunset is based around.
The set-up is simple. Seventy-somethings Edith (Alison Steadman) and her neighbour Phil (Cleese) live a simple life.
She's been a widow for some years, but her children drop round regularly, and daily visits from old boyfriend Phil make each day a pleasant one.
Phil has ambitions of marrying Edith, whisking her away and emigrating to sunnier climes together; but she's been turning down his offers for months.
She eventually agrees to a rekindling of their romance, but shortly after saying "yes" to Phil, there's a knock at the door.
It's her 50-year old son Roger (Jason Watkins), with an announcement that he's left his wife and kids, as well as his stable job at the bank.
He's here for a soft reboot on his life, and to find his lost happiness - for Phil and Edith, plans are put on hold.
A surprise Python connection
The show - which will air on Sunday evenings - features a central cast with an average age of 67.
And it's a far cry from the kind of highly-strung, madcap physical comedy you'll remember from Cleese's iconic Basil Fawlty character.
But if there's one actor capable of delivering mocking lines towards people he despises through gritted teeth, it's John Cleese.
Slow to start - but worth a watch? (Photo: BBC)
The series - which will run for six half-hour episodes - has worryingly been described by Radio Times as starting "terribly".
But stick with it perhaps: "once it gets going, there's a good premise".
With Oscar-nominated writer Charles McKeown penning the scripts - he co-wrote the screenplays for fellow Python Terry Gilliam's films Brazil and The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus - this sleepy-sounding twilight comedy could be a surprise hit.
Though whether it will be as abstract and surreal as those films, remains to be seen.
Hold the Sunset begins on BBC1 on Sunday, February 18, at 7.30pm

Le Déchaux Hélicop-Jet est un hélicoptère français.

Description

L'Hélicop-Jet a été construit par Charles Déchaux. Sa cabine est constituée de deux pavillons de voitures Panhard PL-24c, l'un pour le plancher de l'hélicoptère et l'autre pour le toit.

Une maquette grandeur nature est exposée au Salon du Bourget de 1969.

Le premier prototype, immatriculé "F-WZAI" effectue son premier vol en  sur l'héliport d'Issy-les-Moulineaux avec aux commandes monsieur Heurtau, directeur technique d'Héli-Union. L'appareil est équipé d'un turbogénérateur Palouste IV qui a équipé le SO.1221 Djinn.

Le deuxième prototype, "F-WZJO" effectue son premier vol le , toujours à Issy-les-Moulineaux. Il est cette fois équipé d'une turbine Turbomeca Astazou IIIA de 600 ch. Il a continué ses essais à La Ferté-Alais, sous la direction de l'ingénieur Jean Richard et piloté par Philippe Fouquaux. Comme pour le premier prototype, le deuxième semblait largement sous-motorisé.

Les essais du  ont cessé en 1985. La même année, la société Hélicop-Jet Project Management voit le jour à Montréal avec pour objectif la production d'un hélicoptère dérivé de l'Hélicop-Jet, sans succès pour l'instant.

Survivant
Le protoype  est donné au CELAG (Centre d'Études et de Loisirs Aérospatiaux de Grenoble) en .
Depuis , il est exposé dans les collections du Musée de l'Aviation de Lyon-Corbas.

Uti Nwachukwu Takes Back His Comment on Cee-C
Posted by Raphel Adeniran | Jun 23, 2019 | Buzzing | 0 |
Actor and TV host, Uti Nwachukwu has come under criticism for his recent comment where he said Cee-C as the most successful former housemate of the 2018 BB Naija reality show.
The actor told Sunday Scoop he had to rephrase his statement where he now stated that Cee-C is 'One of the most successful former housemates of the Reality Show.'
Uti stated that it was not is intention to offend anyone with his statement ."I'm not here to offend anybody. I'm all about peace and love . If anybody was offended, I just need to let them know that there was no harm meant. I made that statement with a free mind. It had nothing to do with anybody . But it apparently made other people feel uncomfortable, and that was why I rephrased the statement."
The actor also commented on why most Big Brother housemates do not have successful careers outside the competition. He said "I don't really notice that. But not all the winners want to pursue a life in front of the cameras. And when you' re not doing things in front of the camera, it feels like you ' re not doing well. People are doing things in different spheres of life, and it doesn't mean they are not making headway. Just because one is not successful in front of the camera doesn't mean one is not doing well."

Secret cliffside swing with a skyline view.
I had just dropped my best friend off at LAX and wanted to explore Elysian Park- a beautiful area overlooking the city skyline. When I got there, I was absolutely NOT disappointed.
First, I checked out this interesting structure below. I honestly don't know what to label it other than graffiti gazebo?
It was a hot day, so this spot provided some much needed shade, along with an incredible downtown view.
But my favorite part was tucked away from the main portion of the park.
I didn't know where the swing was at Elysian Park going into this adventure. All I knew was that there was a secret swing on a hilltop in this general vicinity. My approach to finding the swing once I got there was literally just wandering around and looking at nearby hills for it. Which was fun, showed me the entire park (I even got to run through a sprinkler to cool down), and ultimately pointed me in the right direction of the swing.
I drove my car over to a parking lot that was closer to the hill (still in Elysian Park, but it seemed a little detached from the rest of it? This was past the sports fields). Then I made the short but extremely steep climb to the top of the hill. The path was dirt and a little slidey, but I made it.
When I first arrived, there was another girl my age there. Which was reassuring and made me happy- to see other girls enjoying their alone time in beautiful places. She left about 15 minutes later (honestly, I should've gotten her number, but alas) and I had the place all to myself for the next 2 HOURS. That blew me away. I thought more people would come to see this incredible view, but then again, it was a Wednesday at noon in Los Angeles so that could've been part of it.
I barely swung out over the edge of the cliff (because I'm a chicken) but it was incredibly steep. I would advise anyone going here to take caution while walking and swinging.

It feels like Shopbop has been having more sales than ever lately, but I won't complain! There are so many things I want for Spring right now, but I'm trying to keep my shopping to a minimum this month. Mainly because I know over the next few weeks I'm going to see 800 things I want and I'm trying not to be such an impulse shopper.
But there are tons of things included that I have and love! The one thing I did order from the sale was a pair of these AGolde jeans I've been wanting to try for a while. They have a little stretch to them and I haven't found a pair of high-waist denim I love that has stretch, so I'm hoping these work. I actually ordered this pair as well which are cotton for comparison.


With our grandson Jack away in Spain with his Mum and Dad, Jean and I decided to do a bit of travelling in Ireland.
The Rock of Cashel (Click Here) was our first stop. The ruined cathedral (1235-1270) occupies a commanding position overlooking vast swathes of lush countryside. Its age and location make access difficult for wheelchair users and the mobility impaired but it is doable and worth the effort. Public toilets, including accessible cubicles, are available adjacent to the car park.
We then travelled on to Holy Cross Abbey but as a funeral was taking place we decided to travel on rather than impose on the sad occasion. On the way to our final destination in Sligo we stopped off at Junction 3 (Topaz Re,Store) which has a range of snacks and an accessible toilet. We arrived at the Yeats Country Hotel, Rosses Point (Click Here) later that afternoon.
The hotel is accessible and the staff friendly and accommodating. Carpets in the reception area and corridors combined with slightly severe, but useable ramps, made wheelchair travel a bit more difficult but Jean was always nearby to give that extra power surge when needed. Our room was spacious, 2 double beds, a bed settee and an accessible bathroom. After settling in and resting we adjourned for drink and food. There are 2 designated parking spaces adjacent to the front door but a considerate fellow traveller decided that his car was too big or too precious for one space.
After a hearty breakfast we headed north for Co. Fermanagh and Beleek Pottery (Click Here). The weather was not good and dull grey clouds hung low over the countryside interspersed with some heavy showers. The visitor centre is accessible with a great shop, a cafe, an accessible toilet and a number of designated parking spaces. We started our visit with a cuppa before spending time and money in the shop. The inclement weather didn't allow for much exploring in either Enniskillen or Omagh and with the help of Google Maps we found our way back to our hotel.
We enjoyed another hearty breakfast before heading off to The Ceide Fields (Click Here) in Mayo. The visitor centre is accessible with appropriate designated parking and toilet facilities. We had a cuppa in the cafe but unfortunately there was very little else that we could see as the elevator was not working and only a small section outside was wheelchair accessible. We did get to watch a video on the history of the area. We stopped for a bite of lunch in The Merry Monk, Ballina which is wheelchair accessible and accessible cubicles in the toilets.
We then traveled back to Sligo town for a mooch around the shops before heading back to the hotel.
After breakfast and checkout we headed for home. We stopped off in Knock (Click Here) to visit the shrine and have a cuppa after which we had an uneventful trip home.

Ranjan Bordoloi: Keeping artisan tradition alive with innovative forms
Ranjan Bordoloi is reviving and reinventing the dying ancient craft of brasswork

Last October, at the Red Dot Award: Design Concept 2017, Guwahati-based designer Ranjan Bordoloi was the only Indian to walk away with two awards, including the Best of the Best, in the furniture category. His collection 'Pitoloi' comprised small stools and a barstool, was made by cutting sheets of brass and given shape by wooden moulds, with the small pieces joined by an ancient floor-based coal welding technique.
Bordoloi, who has done a course in Furniture and Interior Design from IIT Guwahati, says he came up with the idea of using brass during his college days when he was exploring different materials and production techniques. A Pitoloi chair, created for his final year graduation project, won the Park Elle Decor Student Award, 2015 (the best use of traditional material). Showcased at India Design ID in February 2015, his work was also spotted by Giulio Cappellini, art director of Milan-based Italian design firm Cappellini, and he was selected to showcase at the Salone del Mobile in Milan in April 2015.

Bordoloi works with brass to revive the dying ancient craft of making utensils and artefacts by hammering the alloy—traditionally practised by a community of Assamese artisans. "Currently my work is very artisanal, but going forward, I would also like to get into industry, combine a high-tech production facility in the form of robots with artisans," says Bordoloi.
"What impressed me about Ranjan Bordoloi's work is his sensitivity towards the materials. His projects are never obvious, but they are able to mix contemporary and innovative forms by using manufacturing techniques belonging to the artisan tradition of his country," says Cappellini.
Bordoloi was also one of the winners of the Godrej Design Lab 2016 competition where he won for his edgy Kaathfula chair, inspired by the shape of a mushroom.

The purpose of soccer camp is to share the Gospel with families in our community by providing for their children a camp that teaches kids how to play soccer, such as how to kick a soccer ball, passing the ball, and knowing how to work as a team. Our Envision teams, interns, and people from our congregation serve as our main volunteers to teach the kids soccer. Though most of the program is teaching soccer, the most important part of the program is the Bible VBS time. Our volunteers are trained on how to communicate the Gospel through leading worship songs, Bible story skits, and small group discussions. Most of the families in our community do not attend regularly and most likely will hear the Gospel for the first time. Children from preschool to middle school attend the camp.
The purpose of day camp is to share the Gospel with families in our community by providing for their children a camp with activities such as crafts, recreational sports, and life skill classes. Our day camp volunteers are composed of Envision teams, interns, and junior volunteers (late middle/high school students). They are each trained on how to share the Gospel with a child through daily conversations, bible lessons, and worship. We begin each day of camp with VBS and focus on topics such as "God is Light." Many of the kids are unreached and/or been in our summer programs before.
Supplementing the educational experience for every student through recreational activities and small group discussions.
Providing a safe environment both emotionally and physically.
Incorporating Biblical principles into every aspect of the program through direct Bible lessons as well as life experiences.
Providing a time of rest with a nutritious snack during the program.
Designating a time of recreation that builds upon group unity through team-oriented activities and encouragement for the individual.

OLDRIGHTIE: Banging An Ancient Drum!
This cretinous piece of muck on your shoe thankfully was never in power. His track record is innocent of any input on mass immigration, EUSSR sycophancy or trades Union subservience. Nor is he responsible for any of the farcical energy and global warming levies and tax on life itself.
Nope, Ed The Bad is a new, effervescent and wholly refreshing dose of absolute reality. For this new kid on the block, cheap labour is for those Chinks and Asians, Indian peasants buried under rubble on a frequent basis and so forth.
In this booming economy, so well served by years, nay decades of pure economic brilliance, by socialist management of a quite breathtaking and stupendous legacy, our little boy can strut his stuff in the knowledge all will fall at his feet in worship and wonder as he promises to turn water into wine. After all his Union paymasters enjoy only the best in luxury and high wages. He's a millionaire kid from the slums of somewhere so who better to drive the other 30 million plus workers to the high ground of similar life style and excellence.
I guess his plan is to ensure everybody is rich and only imported labour is to be permitted to slave on a "living wage". Such brilliance, already tried of course. Its success is to be marveled at throughout the EUSSR. Greece, Spain, Portugal, Italy, all still boasting mega wealthy eurocrats, Union bosses and bankers reveling in the handouts and wealth to be had from..........er, cheap labour?
Rightie, you've been and gorn and done it again.
I WAS having a good day (been a good year so far having avoided politicians), grandaughter is here causing the usual mayhem, but it keeps SWMBO pleasantly occupied so there i am having a peruse round me favourite, non political sites, and taking it generally easy till i'm back on shift tomorrow.
Blair and Meddlesome's, worst days.
Thanks a bundle mate, i now have the raging 'ump.
There are not enough words in the unprintable dictionary of workplace cursing to satisfactorily express my loathing for this cretin and all his kind.
My dear old late mum would have said, in her best Irish lilt, that he needs a bloody good kick up in the arse, but that goes for most of those who infest the houses of ill repute.
That useless twerp might even be our prime minister in 2015 if the sheep follow their brainwashing.
Miliband is a Marxist. He has never done a day's "real" work in his life, yet is also a millionaire. Why can so few people see this utter contradiction?

Country star Dallas Smith joins other singers playing in the 2018 JUNO Cup.
Jan. 29, 2018 3:00 p.m.
We know what he looks like on stage, usually sporting a baseball cap. But there aren't many pictures of Langley country star Dallas Smith decked out in his hockey gear.
However, if you're looking for a chance to catch the local singer on ice, there's a chance coming up in March.
Smith is suiting up with his buddy and former Langleyite (and former NHLer) Chad Brownlee and a number of other performers, to participate in the annual JUNO Cup, which is being held in conjunction with the 47th annual JUNO Awards.
Smith and Brownlee show their prowess on the links together each summer, host a fundraising golf tournament at The Redwoods Golf Course in Langley in support of Basics for Babies.
Now, they're teaming up on the ice, and again for charity – specifically MusiCounts.
This organization is Canada's music education charity associated connected with the Canadian Academy of Recording Arts and Science (CARAS). It's purpose is to keep music alive in schools and communities across Canada and puts instruments in the hands of kids who need them through several programs and music education initiatives.
Held annually during JUNO Week (March 19 to 25), this celebrity hockey game has raised $840,000 for MusiCounts during the past 14 years.
Smith and Brownlee will be joined by rockers Jim Cuddy of Blue Rodeo, Craig Northey of Odds, Devin Cuddy, and Grant Lawrence.
"The JUNO Cup is great for all the right reasons – it combines music, hockey, and a great charity in MusiCounts who give much needed instruments to schools across Canada," said Jim Cuddy.
In the meantime, NHL greats will include former hockey legends Dave Babych, Jyrki Lumme, Kirk McLean, Cliff Ronning, Brad Dalgarno and Troy Crowder.

Airbnb sees surge in summer rentals, with Texas' Port Aransas among top U.S. destinations

Antsy city dwellers seeking to escape their Covid-19 refuges are road-tripping to nearby vacation rentals in surprisingly strong numbers, showing the first signs of life for an industry that essentially ground to a halt in March.
"People, after having been stuck in their homes for a few months, do want to get out of their houses; that's really, really clear," Airbnb Inc. Chief Executive Officer Brian Chesky said in an interview. "But they don't necessarily want to get on an airplane and are not yet comfortable leaving their countries."
Airbnb saw more nights booked for U.S. listings between May 17 and June 3 than the same period in 2019, and a similar boost in domestic travel globally. The San Francisco-based home-share company is seeing an increase in demand for domestic bookings in countries from Germany to Portugal, South Korea, New Zealand and more. Other companies, including Expedia Group Inc.'s Vrbo and Booking Holdings Inc. are also seeing a jump in domestic vacation-rental reservations.
International sojourns usually planned months in advance are being replaced with impulsive road trips booked a day before and weekend getaways are turning into weeks-long respites, Chesky said. Previously, a New Yorker might have headed to Paris for a week in June. Now they are going to the Catskills for a month. "Work from home is becoming working from any home," he said.
The top destinations in the U.S. on Airbnb are almost exclusively traditional vacation rental markets such as Big Bear Lake in southern California, the Smoky Mountains, along the Tennessee-North Carolina border, and Port Aransas in Texas, according to the company.
Still, any rebound is coming from a very low base. The travel sector was gutted by the Covid-19 pandemic. Online travel agencies struggled to withstand unprecedented cancellations and air travel passenger traffic that fell 95%. Airbnb and Tripadvisor Inc. cut a quarter of their workforces and Chesky said last month that he expects revenue this year to be half of 2019's level. Booking was forced to apply for government aid. In an annual shareholder report last week, Booking CEO Glenn Fogel said the pandemic would impact global travel more than the 9/11 terrorist attacks, the SARS epidemic and the 2008 financial crisis combined.

The unexpected speed of the comeback has kept Airbnb's plans for a 2020 public market debut afloat. Chesky had originally planned to file paperwork for an offering March 31, but was waylaid by the pandemic-related market turmoil that led to speculation the listing would be shelved until next year. However, Chesky says it's still an option. "We're not ruling out going public this year and we're not committing to it," he said. Airbnb was valued at $31 billion in its most recent private fund-raising round, though recent debt issuance to shore up its finances have significantly reduced that valuation.
Since the pandemic began, the percentage of bookings on Airbnb within 200 miles (322 kilometers) — a round trip travelers can typically complete on one tank of gas — has grown from a third in February to more than 50% in May. Travel in a post-Covid world is shifting "from airplane to car, big city to small location, hotel to home," Chesky said.
Vrbo is seeing similar trends as popular tourist states like Florida and Maine reopen. There's an "immediate pop" as soon as a destination opens, said Jeff Hurst, president of Vrbo, which accounts for about 20% of Expedia's total revenue. "If you draw a 250- mile circle around any major metro — every place where you see water in there or mountains or national parks, the homes around it are what's starting to get booked up," Hurst said.
Hotels aren't as prevalent in more rural locations. And even where they are, travelers are preferring to stay in vacation homes so they can cook in their own kitchens, control who comes and goes and avoid crowded common areas like lobbies, Hurst said. To help salvage the summer season, Airbnb and Vrbo have enforced confidence-boosting policies that include flexible cancellations and new standards for cleaning.
"We have seen a faster recovery within alternative accommodations than in hotels," Morgan Stanley analyst Brain Nowak wrote in a note last week. Shares in hotel companies such as Marriott International Inc., Hyatt Hotels Corp. and Hilton Worldwide Holdings Inc. have dropped by more than 20% this year, compared with Expedia and Booking, which have fallen as much as 14%.
People are eager for open spaces like beach towns or mountain villages, which is sparking the vacation rental rebound, said Naved Khan, an analyst at Suntrust Robinson Humphrey Inc. "Little by little we are seeing it unfold before us as people are feeling bold enough to venture out and stay at another place for a couple of nights and most of the time these places are homes and villas."
Searches for vacation rentals on Google are about at the same level as last year, while hotel searches are down, said Booking Holdings Chief Marketing Officer Arjan Dijk. Consumer appetite has completely changed from a year ago, he said. Significantly more users are signing on to the company's wish list function and indicating interest in domestic homes over international ones. In fact, the company has seen its business shift to more than 70% domestic travel from 45% the same period last year, he said.
Demand for air travel is also showing some early signs of life after all but collapsing. Daily passenger numbers in the U.S. climbed to 391,882 on June 4, the highest since March 22, according to the Transportation Security Administration. But the average daily total over the past seven days was still 87% less than during the same period a year ago. American Airlines Group Inc. said it would boost July flights 74% compared with this month, though the number of flights in July will be about 40% of capacity a year earlier, compared with 30% in June, the airline said Thursday.
"It's going to be awhile before people start crossing borders, getting into planes or traveling for business," Chesky said. The big question on his mind now, as he weighs taking his startup public, is whether the spike in recent bookings turns into a sustainable trend. "The long-term question is what does it look like in a year or five years and that's really anyone's guess," he said. Chesky won't be celebrating until the market stabilizes. "I had a rule that even in our darkest of hours I wouldn't get too low because that's just a moment in time," he said. "And if I can't get too low, then I can't get too up."

The Facility for Refugees in Turkey is the EU response to the European Council's call for significant additional funding to support refugees in Turkey. It is a mechanism for coordinating and streamlining aid from the EU and its Member States. Our audit examined whether the Facility effectively supported the refugees in Turkey by focusing on the management of the Facility, and on the results achieved so far under its humanitarian strand. We found that, in a challenging context, the Facility for Refugees in Turkey rapidly mobilised €3 billion to provide a swift response to the refugee crisis. Nevertheless, it did not fully achieve its objective of coordinating this response effectively. The audited projects provided helpful support to refugees; most of them have achieved their outputs, but half of them have not yet achieved their expected outcomes. Furthermore, we identified room for increasing the efficiency of cash-assistance projects. We therefore conclude that the Facility could have been more effective, and that it could achieve more value for money.
