Alouettes parade to get live coverage on TV
Championships in Montreal are more rare than we'd like them to be, yet this year we've had two – the Impact and the Alouettes. (And with the Habs being shut out at home to the Leafs, a trifecta seems unlikely.)
Wednesday sees the players and fans meet to celebrate for the victory parade down Ste. Catherine St., from Crescent to Jeanne-Mance starting at 11:40am.
Surprisingly, despite it being a local event (and one coming with little advance notice), there's going to be actual live coverage of it by local television.
Here's what's been announced:
Global (CKMI) will have live coverage from 11:30am to 1:30pm (Mike LeCouteur with The Gazette's Herb Zurkowsky and the Q's Ken Connors). It will also be streaming the parade live at globalmontreal.com
CTV (CFCF) will have live coverage from noon to 1:30pm, preempting its entire noon newscast. Sports reporters will be in the crowd, Mutsumi Takahashi and Randy Tieman at the end of the route. Lori Graham and Todd van der Heyden will be in the parade itself. It will livestream the entire parade at montreal.ctv.ca
CBC (CBMT) has no announced live coverage
Radio-Canada will not have live TV coverage on the main network, but will be livestreaming the parade at radio-canada.ca/sports
TVA and V have nothing announced as far as live coverage
RDI will have a live special from 11:30am to 1:30pm. Simon Durivage hosts with Marc André Masson, Jean St-Onge, Jacinthe Taillon, Antoine Deshaies and former Als player Bruno Heppell
LCN has not announced anything, but expect it to give good coverage to the parade
RDS will have live parade coverage from 11:30am to 2pm (it's the only network to actually change its electronic and online schedule to reflect the coverage) with David Arsenault, Marc Labrecque, Pierre Vercheval and Denis Casavant.
TSN has not announced anything, but considering their current plan for noon is World Championship Darts…
So that's four channels carrying live TV specials (CFCF, CKMI, RDI and RDS), and three sources for live online streaming, at least.
Maybe what's surprising is that, in this local TV death spiral, I find this surprising.
(Of course, you won't be watching the parade on TV because you'll be on Ste. Catherine St. celebrating, right?)
UPDATE: CTV Montreal and RDS have archived footage of the parade and party afterward. The Gazette and Rue Frontenac have put together artisty videos.

Very glad to see that CFCF-TV 12 and CKMI-TV 46 are presenting this. Two local over the air stations doing what local TV should be doing. Too bad none of the french local stations aren't doing anything. Thus forcing francophones to run to the old cable solution in order to access RDI and RDS. Too bad CBFT-DT 19 (2.1) isn't presenting their streaming video of the parade on a sub-channel of their DT signal.

As much as I wish everybody finally woke up, I find the whole thing a little too convenient coming right after the CRTC announces wide-open public solicitation (including the dedicated website for comments) on the fee-for-carriage issue. December is might be the only time of year local stations actually have some local content (parades, telethons, etc.) so my gut is telling me this is more for sway than actual care.
Fagstein Post author December 2, 2009 at 11:15 am
It wouldn't surprise me. The local anglo stations haven't covered local parades much these days. Mind you, this is a sports championship parade, not the St. Patrick's Day Parade, but it does raise an eyebrow that two stations are going all out to cover this.
Anonymous December 2, 2009 at 11:14 am
Anyone want to bet that Global replays this 5 times and calls it 7.5 hours of local programming.
Michael J. December 2, 2009 at 12:04 pm
Tried Global first but they appear to be covering it from the studio, they might as well be sitting in a studio in Toronto. CTV actually has all their reporters in the crowd and in the parade.
MBR December 2, 2009 at 9:34 pm
I was watching Global today and they had a couple of people out on the parade route too.
dan December 2, 2009 at 1:07 pm
out of curiousity, is football mostly an anglo thing in montreal? what about the province in general?
Fagstein Post author December 2, 2009 at 3:35 pm
I don't think it's exclusively anglo (there were a lot of people cheering francophone Alouettes from Université Laval), but anglo Montrealers might be a bit more connected to the team.
Tim December 2, 2009 at 10:12 pm
I had a chance to experience a Concordia Stingers game against the Rouge-et-or at Université Laval's stadium. HUGE crowd and atmosphere (much more than I've ever seen for the Stingers locally). It feels like all of Quebec City adopted the university team. Makes for a convincing argument to expand to a professional franchise, and speaks to francophone appeal for the game. The two colleagues at work who are interested in the sport (including a high-school volunteer coach) are Francophone.

During my undergraduate studies at Edinburgh (in English Literature) I became fascinated with examining the cultural values reflected in texts and soon wanted to draw on a wider range of social and political theories to examine culture and politics more broadly. This led me to study Critical Theory at the University of Nottingham, first at MA then at PhD level. After finishing my studies I worked at Nottingham for three years, in the department of Culture, Film and Media, teaching modules on cultural theory, digital media and political activism.
My work today explores the relationship between politics and digital media; I'm especially interested in the opportunities that are created, and problems that are posed, for activists by new technologies. I look in particular at the dynamic between on- and offline activism, with a focus on the work of environmental, anti-capitalist and animal rights activists. More broadly I'm interested in cultural theories that question and challenge existing relationships between humans, animals and the environment. At Keele I currently convene the first year module Understanding Culture and second year module Researching Media, Communication and Culture, and also teach on Making the News and the MA in Global Media and Culture.


dojox.data.XmlStore?'s fetchItemByIdentity function has a typo on line 1437 which causes it to always pass a null item to its provided onItem callback when serverside filtering is enabled.
At this point items is undefined.
When this change is made, the function works as expected.
Originally found this bug by setting the value on a FilteringSelect? widget backed by a XmlStore? with sendQuery set to true; the displayed value isn't changed because the item returned by the store's fetchItemByIdentity onItem callback is null.


text: Q: Can you store variables in a URL? I am wondering if I could store variables in a URL. For example, would https://example.com/?q=Text%20Goes%20Here be the same as var q = "text goes here";? Because I have seen some websites do this. For a popular example, youtube. instead of https://www.youtube.com/watch/AgT1MkFjhO4 its https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AgT1MkFjhO4. Can I do this?

The Australasian Grebe is a small waterbird with two distinct plumage phases. The non-breeding plumage of both the male and female is dark grey-brown above and mostly silver-grey below, with a white oval patch of bare skin at the base of the bill. During the breeding season, both sexes have a glossy-black head and a rich chestnut facial stripe which extends from just behind the eye through to the base of the neck. At this time, the eye becomes darker and the patch of skin at the base of the bill becomes pale yellow and more noticeable. When approached, Australasian Grebes usually dive under water.
Common Name:- Grey Goshawk
Species:- Accipiter novaehollandiae
Wikipedia: Grey Goshawk

Israeli lawyer files charges against President Abbas
February 15, 2014 at 1:27 pm | Published in: Middle East, News
An Israeli lawyer, Mordechai Tzivin, has filed charges in the International Criminal Court (ICC) against President Abbas and the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) on the grounds of committing crimes against humanity.
The case is the first of its kinds against the Palestinian political leadership. The move comes in the wake of threats by the PA to bring charges against Israel in the ICC, especially after Palestine became a UN observer state.
The Israeli newspaper "Maarev" reported that the lawyer wrote in his request to the ICC, "I have reliable information that confirms Mahmoud Abbas, along with senior officials in the PA and Hamas, have committed "war crimes and crimes against humanity. Therefore, I ask the court to open an investigation".

Thought I should consolidate my posts about this into one thread rather than creating one each time I have an update. Newest update includes updated PRIDE walkout panel videos. Plus, one of the pads in one of the ring's corners has been changed to black to more accurately reflect RIZIN's ring. Text needs to be made white though, but that will be done soon. The CAF menu has been updated to all have gold button textures, just need to replace the UFC and PRIDE logos.
This one is from Dav, the project leader - Undisputed 2010 animations have been imported! Personal preference as to what you prefer and you can swap back and forth whenever you like for each install.

Added some more stuff! Profanity warning for the shop text.
The text is just for a laugh, that won't be included in the mod. The actual gym models themselves probably can't be switched out, at least not any time soon, but we can replace the textures to match another gym - although this will be limited to logos for now. Elevation Fight Team replaces Sityodtong USA.
If you have any suggestions, feel free to post them in the thread or in the Undisputed Legacy Discord server (linked below), and we'll give them a go if we can!

Big update!
RIZIN is basically done, with only minor tweaks needed - I held off playing it until I had gotten everything in so I could experience it fresh. It was worth it, worked like I'd hoped.
The UI has been overhauled to resemble RIZIN's design language, including a new matchup screen right after the game has finished loading the fight.
This was a bitch to say the least, the way they put that video together originally is, like everything else in UD3, complex and perhaps over engineered, so to speak. I received some advice by someone in the VFX field and that was a great help, but I simply didn't have the technical know-how at the time to replicate how it was done.
To give you an idea of what it's like - basically, in the files, the video has parts which are transparent… yet, when you switch to only view the alpha channel (which may not be the alpha channel, but said thing only shows up when selecting this) you can see a darkened version of where the graphics are in-game in what is a transparent spot in the video in the files.
In the original video, the fighters slot in front of the background, which appears transparent in the files, and… it's tough to explain, but basically, I came to the conclusion that to replicate the effect I would either need to learn a lot or do a lot of experimenting, probably both, and I wanted to get it out soon so I chose to design around it and while it took some time to figure out how to get the authentic look with less space to use, I'm really happy with the final result.
Also, I mention it in the stream but in case you don't want to watch more than the RIZIN fights, I'm looking to try and put together a narrative experience in the career mode via in-game cutscenes.
Of course, it's a bit limited by how often they pop up (they taper off a lot as you get later into your career), but I do think I can put something together which feels like a story. I think we can set it up to where it pulls you through those stretches with little to no cutscenes, so to speak.
The last thing I wanted to mention is that Ultimate Fights rewards will be replaced with community made MMA promos, if the creators allow it of course. Teep, a friend of mine who makes promos has given me his blessing to include his. There are five fights to choose from and each will have a promo play as the fight's intro (will not necessarily be related to the fight you have chosen to play), and one as a reward for completing the task list for each fighter.
If you're interested in the project, check out our Discord server! Updates on work-in-progress changes are posted often: https://discord.gg/vndwjUKcGf

I can't believe we never figured this out until now. The file is in a folder called "motion" and the file is called "move". I think it's case of overlooking it because it seems too obvious almost, or you'd think it would be somewhere else. But better late than never, as they say! I always thought "move" referred to actual navigation but there's a navigation file there so it makes sense that it meant fighter moves.

Is Virtual Reality Church a Real Church?
Mark Zuckerberg announced that the new Oculus GO Virtual Reality headset is now shipping during his F8 keynote address last week. Before he had even announced that everyone at the F8 Facebook Developers Conference would receive their own Oculus GO, I had already made my purchase.
CV Outreach exists to connect people to the church so that you can introduce people to the Gospel and help them become true followers of Jesus.
One of our main programs we leverage to achieve this mission is called the Ad Grant Partnership. This free program is a unique approach to Online Advertising for churches.
One of the greatest strengths that we often forget to highlight in regards to the Ad Grant Partnership is that the program only grows stronger with every church that is added.
This may seem counterintuitive; traditionally the more churches added would mean more competition in the advertising space. However, CV Outreach doesn't employ a traditional Church Marketing strategy, and by doing so we completely side step the issue.
Did you know people are going to Google every day searching for purpose, love, and advice?
Our Ad Grant Partnership is designed to help interested churches reach these people while they are searching for answers to profound life questions.
You've heard of Google, right?
*The Google Ad Grant program had a major update in January of 2018. This article has been updated to include those changes.
That little search engine company?
According to Fortune Magazine's 2017 rankings, they are the world's 2nd most valuable brand, coming in at a cool 101.8 billion dollars.
If you've ever clicked on an Ad on Youtube or Google, or on a Display Network ad on a website, you've contributed to their advertising revenues in some way. Revenues that came in to the tune of $79.4 billion in 2016 ( source).
Google has become synonyous with information. The google search bar is firmly planted in our culture as a ubiquitous part of how we ask questions and pursue knowledge. Our interaction with Google has come so far that some scientists even believe it is changing the way our brains are wired.
Check out these crazy statistics on Google Search.
So to sum it all up; Google is humongous, pretty much everyone uses Google, they use it a lot, and it makes Google a ton of money.
So, shouldn't a gigantic tech company like Google do something to help out the little guys? The organizations trying to do some good in the world?
The heart is a mystery. The line between belief and non-belief is marked by the fruit of one's life. Fruit requires time to cultivate and blossom, but we measure time in seconds online.
Digital evangelism offers the opportunity to reach the world. However, how can we be sure if the person visiting your church's website or responding to your ad is the non-believer that your ministry is trying to reach. What if the people you are reaching are believing Christians, happy about your message?
If Online Advertising isn't your forte, here's a list that can hopefully help you understand what's going on in the world of online advertising.
This is a list of some of the basic concepts, terms, and unique acronyms that are commonly mentioned when talking about digital marketing.
We hope it helps provide some clairification for you and your team.
Hi everyone, my name is Alise, I am one of the junior paid-media specialists at CV Outreach. I spend my days here running the ads for our church partners.
Since starting this job I've gained a new appreciation for how that little google search bar has impacted our culture. When I first started I thought it was crazy that I would one day be overseeing the Adwords campaigns for 100 churches. But here I am now, a few months into the job, and I'm managing over 100 church partner accounts (and growing), and so far, over 850k people from North America and 50k people from South Africa have clicked on one of the ads I've written.
Living in this world day in and day out has changed how I think about google. I no longer take the ubiquitous search bar for granted. Here are a few areas of my life where my thoughts about google have changed.
We were killing it! Our startup was growing quickly by championing the small business owners we were reaching every day. But one night, my perspective totally flipped on how to leverage technology.

Jewdas Book Group #3 – East End Jewish Radicals
by Nicholas Jones
We've started a monthly book group!
We meet once a month after shabbat to read radical / Jewish / Queer / Feminist texts.
There's also tea.
The next thing we're reading is 'East End Jewish Radicals 1875-1914' by William Fishman
AK Press: "Professor William Fishman, son of an immigrant tailor, describes London's East End at a time of mass immigration from Eastern Europe to the shabby tenements of Stepney and Whitechapel. He describes the spread of libertarian and socialist ideals among the Jewish community culminating in the great strikes of 1889 and 1912. It was in London's East End that Rudolf Rocker taught himself Yiddish and helped politicize a generation. An extraordinary period of Jewish, immigrant, and radical history, described by an inspired storyteller."

Wonderful to find your website. I read about it in the Independent online and my brother sent me the link from the UK. I've been stranded in New Zealand for the past 30 years. There are, of course, many horrendous places in which to be stranded. The East End, where I grew up is one of them. NZ isn't horrendous; it's just horrendously boring. I revel in your project and look forward to learning more about the subversiveness of Jewdas and the really good parties that unfortunately I am unable to attend. Mazel tov

Britain and the US had been consistently bombing Iraq since the 1991 First Gulf War. Genocidal sanctions were imposed on the country by the UN Security Council in 1990 - UN figures suggest that Iraqi fatalities of the period 1990-2003 amount to 1.7 million, including at least 500,000 children. The devastating 'Shock and Awe' bombing campaign, ground invasion, military occupation, and imperialist-led 'nation building' in Iraq from 2003 onwards left the country shattered and divided. At least 4 million Iraqis were made refugees by the war, and 5 million children were left orphaned. Despite US President George Bush declaring 'Mission Accomplished' in May 2003, determined Iraqi resistance to the US and British occupation developed, resulting in the deaths of 4,497 coalition soldiers. The US-led massacre in the city of Fallujah in 2004 used white phosphorous as well as depleted uranium weaponry which has led to a rate of genetic mutation and cancer which is 'worse than Hiroshima' (Independent, 23 July 2010).
When the majority of US and British troops were withdrawn, the objectives of the imperialists had not been achieved. A permanent US and British military presence has remained in Iraq ever since 2003, and the country has suffered 15 years of unbroken war. Sectarian and ethnic division and fighting has been fuelled and actively fostered by the imperialist forces. A new military operation was launched in 2014 in order to fight the expansion of IS which grew out of the chaos left in the wake of the 2003 war, and owes much of its existence to imperialist intervention and strategy. Bombing continues to this day. Iraq is currently tenth on the Fragile States Index, and 161st on the Global Peace Index (with only Afghanistan and Syria below it). Labour imperialism, along with its allies, has devastated the heart of the Middle East.
Almost exactly 8 years after Iraq, on 19 March 2011, the NATO bombing of Libya began. British Prime Minister David Cameron and French President Nicolas Sarkozy convinced the US government of Barack Obama to join them in launching an assault on the country in order to overthrow Muammar Gaddafi. British MPs voted to support airstrikes 557 to 15, with only 9 Labour MPs voting against. Of those who voted for the assault, 11 are members of Jeremy Corbyn's current Shadow Cabinet – including Labour 'left' veteran Diane Abbott, and Shadow Defence Secretary Nia Griffith. Libya has been sent back in time by the bombing, going from being the country with the highest Human Development Index score in Africa, to a country with two governments competing for authority, warlords fighting over territory, and a major staging post for African migrants fleeing to Europe. 55% of the population have fled their country (Granma, 15 January 2018). Slave markets selling black Africans in Libya have recently been exposed. 557 British MPs have blood on their hands.
Syria has been at war since 15 March 2011, when anti-government demonstrations were escalated into violent clashes with the military by groups of armed men. The removal of President Bashar Assad has been repeatedly announced as a strategic priority by the British, French and US governments. The long-term support provided by Britain and the US for anti-government groups was revealed by Wikileaks. British, US and French special forces have remained present on the ground since 2011, and have played a role training and directing support for 'rebel' groups. The Gulf allies of the NATO imperialists, notably Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the UAE, have freely supported and armed their chosen groups to overthrow the government, many of these extreme reactionary jihadist groups such as IS and Jabhat Al Nusra.
The US and allied forces began bombing Syrian territory in 2014 in an intervention supposedly aimed at IS. Britain joined this mission in December 2015. Both British and US militaries continue to operate widely across eastern Syria. The Syrian government and military has shocked the imperialists by its tenacious resistance, with almost all the major populated areas back under government control seven years after the war began. However, this still leaves huge expanses of territory outside of its control. 470,000 are estimated to have died. The continuing war has expanded to global significance, with heavy involvement from Russia, Iran and Lebanon's Hezbollah on the side of the government, significant Turkish forces occupying majority Kurdish areas in north-west Syria, and consistent Israeli involvement. Over three days in February 2018, four intervening militaries lost aircraft in the war in Syria: Israel, Iran, Russia and Turkey. On 17 January 2018, then US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson declared that the US will maintain an open-ended presence in Syria in order to ensure that Assad is removed, to fight IS, and to prevent the expansion of Iranian influence.
The Saudi-led bombing of Yemen began three years ago on 26 March 2015, following four years of developing conflict and crisis emerging out of protests in the 2011 Arab Spring. It has created, with imperialist support, what the UN currently calls 'the world's worst humanitarian disaster'. This devastating assault on the region's poorest nation has killed at least 10,000 people with thousands more dying of starvation, cholera and other diseases caused by the bombardment and blockade. The cholera epidemic in the country is the world's worst ever recorded outbreak. One million people have been infected so far – mainly children. Despite this, the war continues to have the full support of British and US imperialism. Arms sales, military support, and diplomatic invitations continue to flow to Saudi Arabia, one of British and US imperialism's primary partners in the war to reshape the Middle East and fight the rising influence of Iran. British arms sales to Saudi Arabia since the war on Yemen began currently stand at more than £4.6bn. These sales sustain jobs and factories in some parts of Britain, at the expense of endless lives in Yemen. Campaign Against the Arms Trade has revealed that around 250 British MOD civil servants and military personnel work to support these contracts - funded by Saudi Arabia.
The war on Afghanistan preceded the Iraq invasion by two years, and was the first intervention sponsored by the 'war on terror' rhetoric. It has since become the longest war in US history. Britain launched the war alongside the US, and British troops remained engaged until 2015. British soldiers remain in Afghanistan in 'non-combat' roles. Up to 170,000 civilians were killed in the war. The roots of the devastation of Afghanistan lie in the imperialist-supported destabilisation of the socialist government which came to power in 1979. Britain participated in an operation to support jihadist Mujahideen fighters, plunging Afghanistan into decades of war. $6bn of support was provided to the Mujahideen by the US and Saudi Arabia. Britain provided 600 Blowpipe surface-to-air missiles. Ex-SAS soldiers were used to train fighters, including some at camps in Scotland. Osama Bin Laden was among those who came to prominence in the anti-socialist forces. From 1984 to 2014 the world's largest refugee population was Afghan. Afghanistan has among the highest rates of depression, disability, and infant and maternal mortality in the world. The US has bombed Afghanistan continually since 2001, and drone strikes continue to terrorise whole regions of the country. US drone strikes also continue to terrorise areas of Somalia and Pakistan.

About the Harbour Landscape
The landscape of Chichester Harbour Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty
Chichester Harbour Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) is a tidal estuarine environment, framed by low-lying coastal plain against the backdrop of the South Downs National Park. The Harbour's coastline is charactarised by distinctive tidal channels leading to a maze of inlets and rithes that criss-cross expanses of saltmarsh and mudflats. The shoreline is fringed by wind-sculpted oaks and scrub, with open agricultural fields bounded by hedgerows. Historic coastal villages are defined by centuries of maritime association, and in the flat landscape, the vertical elements of church spires and old mills are an important part of its character.
The landscape character is shaped by the patterns of sea and land changing with the tide, weather and seasons. The dynamic landscape is constantly changing in response to natural processes and human activities. Agriculture has developed; settlements have changed in both their appearance and extent; roads and traffic have increased and the industries associated with the Harbour have changed. Natural events, such as Dutch Elm disease and storm events have also had a significant visual impact, with the loss of many of the characteristic, wind-shaped trees and woodlands.
Chichester Harbour was designated in 1964 in recognition of its beautiful land and seascape - open water, intertidal mud, saltmarsh, shingle beach, sand dunes, farmland, woodland, meadows and grassland, ponds and streams, coastal grazing marsh, reedbeds, hedgerow, trees and ditches.
Chichester Harbour is the smallest AONB in the south east covering nearly 7,400 hectares.
41% of the AONB is below Mean High Water Springs and is only seen as the tide recedes. Much of the shoreline has sea defences but approximately 15 miles are undefended and natural. 45 hectares remain as semi-natural ancient woodland, including Old Park Wood and Salterns Copse.
there are 56 miles of shoreline walks around the Harbour's peninsulas.

Oleander flower is the official flower in Hiroshima. Because it was the first flower which bloomed after Atomic bomb explosion.
All parts are toxic but most toxic is seeds. Toxic compound is oleandrin and oleandrigenin, known as cardiac glycosides. Only 80-100 gm of oleander parts are enough to kill a big horse. Digoxin Immune Fab is the treatment of choice in case of Oleander poisoning.
It is cultivated all over world.
Height of oleander tree is -6ft to 20 ft.
generally leaves are in pairs or three. It's color is dark leathery green.
Sometimes it is suggested as treatment Of Cancer.

Q: Find the order of zero at z=0 Let f(z) = $\frac{e^z - e^{-z}}{2z}$ $-$ 1, show that the order of zero at z=0.
My work: order of zero at z=0 is the largest n $\in$ $\mathcal{N}$ such that $\frac{g(z)}{2z-0}$ extends to a holomorphic function at z=0, where g(z) = e$^z$ $-$ e$^{-z}$ $-$ 2z
check: lim$_{z\rightarrow0}$(z$-$0)$\frac{e^z - e^{-z} - 2z}{(2z-0)^n}$ = $\frac{1}{2^n}$ lim$_{z\rightarrow0}$$\frac{e^z - e^{-z} - 2z}{z^{n-1}}$ =
$\frac{1}{2^n}$ lim$_{z\rightarrow0}$$\frac{e^z + e^{-z} - 2}{(n-1)z^{n-2}}$ =
$\frac{1}{2^n(n-1)}$ lim$_{z\rightarrow0}$$\frac{e^z + e^{-z} - 2}{z^{n-2}}$ =
$\frac{1}{2^n(n-1)(n-2)}$ lim$_{z\rightarrow0}$$\frac{e^z - e^{-z}}{z^{n-3}}$ =
$\frac{1}{2^n(n-1)(n-2)(n-3)}$ lim$_{z\rightarrow0}$$\frac{e^z + e^{-z}}{z^{n-4}}$
the last term limit does not exist, so I conclude that the largest n should be 3. Thus the order of zero at z=0 is 3.
Is my work correct? if not, any help to do it correctly?

A: Hint: your function is just
$$f(z)=\frac1z\sinh z-1=\frac1z\biggl(z+\frac {z^3}6+\dotsm\biggr)-1=\dots$$

'The Act's' Dee Dee Blanchard Showed Her True Colors On Last Night's Episode
In episode three of Hulu's TV show, The Act, Gypsy Rose and Dee Dee Blanchard attend a cosplay convention.
There, Dee Dee meets a man whose son suffered from (and later died of) Batten disease.
Batten disease is a rare, fatal genetic disease that mainly affects children.
On Wednesday's episode of The Act, Hulu's newest (incredibly addicting) TV show, Gypsy Rose Blanchard's health issues weren't on full display—instead, it focused on one specific event: a cosplay convention.
But, while Gypsy (played by actress Joey King) was still at the forefront of the episode, aptly named "Two Wolverines," her mom Dee Dee (played by Patricia Arquette) got her own separate storyline, and it involved a man who showed interest in her.
At the convention, Dee Dee catches the eye of Russ (played by Dean Norris)—one of the aforementioned two "Wolverines" (a.k.a., they dressed up as the comic book character, Wolverine). Russ strikes up a conversation with Dee Dee, clearly trying to find out more about her—but Dee Dee, though intrigued, isn't playing along.

A post shared by The Act (@theactonhulu) on Mar 20, 2019 at 8:52am PDT
When Dee Dee says she's at the convention because it's something Gypsy likes, Russ asks, "Well, what do you like?" When Dee Dee answers again with more of what Gypsy likes, Russ asks again: "What about you" to which Dee Dee replies "I don't understand." Finally, Russ says it seems like Dee Dee has "layers" to her—and that he'd like to find out more about them. Dee Dee, clearly flustered, excuses herself.
When the two meet again later on, Russ tells Dee Dee he didn't mean to scare her off earlier—and explains that he's been in a similar situation. "I lost my boy when he was 13," Russ said. "It was Batten disease; he was in a chair at the end, so I understand how your kid could be your everything."
And then Russ offers her some advice: "You gotta cut out a little piece of the world for yourself…you can lose yourself in all the giving." Dee Dee, of course, thanks him and heads off to give Gypsy more medication.
Wait just a minute. I've never heard of Batten disease…what is it?
So, Batten disease is kind of an umbrella term—it covers a broad class of rare, fatal inherited disorders of the nervous system, also known as neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses (NCLs), according to the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS).
The NINDS says an estimated two to four out of every 100,000 children in the U.S. are affected by Batten disease, though many more individuals may be carriers.
Each form of the disease is caused by a mutation in a specific gene, which essentially interferes with the body on a cellular level, specifically a cell's ability to recycle certain molecules. (FYI: In a process called autophagy, your body's cells essentially clean house, getting rid of molecules that are no good and reusing ones that are.)
Most forms of Batten disease begin in childhood, per the NINDS. Common symptoms for most forms of Batten disease include vision loss, seizures, dementia, and abnormal movements. According to the NINDS, children with Batten disease eventually become "blind, wheelchair bound, bedridden, unable to communicate, and lose all cognitive functions." Children with Batten disease also have a decreased life expectancy.
There's no known treatment or cure for any form of Batten disease, but some medications, along with physical therapy, can help symptoms and allow those with the disease to remain functional for a longer time.
Clearly, the disease is devastating. It's unclear whether Russ was an actual part of Dee Dee's life or just part of the show, but regardless, it really makes Dee Dee look…extremely insensitive, don't you agree?

Dr. Pimple Popper's New Video Introduced Me To Hidrocystomas And My Life Will Never Be The Same


The real, the honest, the true.
"You are not hidden. There's never been a moment you were forgotten. You are not hopeless, though you have been broken, your innocence stolen. I hear you whisper underneath your breath.
We've dragged ourselves out of bed early to meet together as we do each week. This time, I won't run away. I won't shut down. I'm not sure what happened last week.
Sometimes it feels as though no one wants to speak. I wonder whether it's pride or shame or just awkwardness. For me, it can be a combination of all three. But this morning we are sharing slowly yet openly. Fatigue, discouragement, disappointment, suffering, intimidation, and fear reside in our words, yet we share them and they become less cavernous, less consuming.
Where was the Father when the Son was suffering?
This question guts me. It makes me say the f word in my head and shake from desperately holding back tears. I need to answer it for myself because I know where I think He is during my suffering. Not here.
But then came the resurrection. So it would be wrong of me, even evil, to say the same about Him during the crucifixion.
I have lost the experience of your presence. I can no longer see your face. Truths that were once sweet do not comfort me. Pour out your soul, analyze your hopes, remember the lovingkindness of God, and preach to your heart.
Is this a desert of my own making? I know what to do yet I don't do it.
My brother has come back from India a changed man. He is alive. This card reduced me to tears and humble gratefulness.
Hope breaks in at last.
Find a husband who will carry you to the bathroom when you're sick.
He's not a bad man. In fact, he has one of the purer hearts I have seen. His intentions and his loves are true. His convictions are firm and just. His heart is soft underneath. I spend too much time thinking about how he is not perfect.
I see you. You lie to me so often, I hardly notice. You tell me he doesn't love me. You tell me we won't change. You tell me hope is lost, fear is fine and comfort cannot be found. While I easily and quickly believe you, you've been noticed. I see you and I'm fighting you.
Last night was wonderful until it wasn't. We went to the new 5:00 gathering for the first time. We had been discussing how it has felt difficult lately; the church hasn't felt like home for some time, like it used to.
Life often doesn't live up to expectations. But maybe the expectations—rather than life itself—are wrong.
Sometimes marriage is flinging every hurtful word just to spread pain and ensure you're not alone in yours. Sometimes it's throwing things when you know you shouldn't, and doing it repeatedly. There's that anger again, just like when you were a kid. Sometimes it's threatening to leave because you just want the fight to end though you never meant it.
I woke up to his alarm and jerked my head back, smashing my forehead into his. We laughed. He'd been sleeping on my pillow with me.
He left before I got up.
My father gathered the family. He shared his realization that he was not only giving away his daughter today, but he was also handing over his responsibility as my spiritual leader. I was in tears.
I will read this letter to him tomorrow.
On this day, the day of our wedding, I wanted to write some words to you, things that live deep in my soul that need to be spoken.
Pride = Death. Pride being self-righteousness, self-centeredness and self-preservation which leads to a kind of living death that manifests as hatred, depression and self-loathing.
It's interesting that—suddenly, and triggered by a stranger saying to another stranger on the phone, "I'm really excited to see you"—my heart can be flooded with a feeling of longing for all the people I miss. The brain is _______ like that. I couldn't find the right word for it.
It's been almost a week now and I'm still trying to process. We've had such a story, he and I. A tumultuous one filled with mountain top moments and deep despairing valleys. When the proposal finally came, for us it would mark a massive and miraculous triumph, bringing an end to a long and, at times, back-breaking battle. I wanted it to feel like a victory cry and I wanted us to metaphorically cry that cry together, to the world, at the top of our lungs.
We sat on a bench in our favorite not-so-secret secret garden in Queen Anne, enjoying the sun. He said casually, "Oh I finally did some modeling for Zulily, I'll show you." Surprised and genuinely interested I began scrolling slowly, per his directions, to find the photo of him. He told me it would be subtle. It was not. A large, grinning Tyler with a sign in his hands that said, "Chelsey, will you marry me?" The caption read, "I do—Do you? The deal of a lifetime." I thought it was a joke and then I knew it wasn't.
Lately, "I can't" is the mantra that has been banging around the corners of my brain.
Valentine's Day has never meant much to me. I spent most of my life without someone to call a valentine so I came to regard it as nothing more than the day you buy obligatory cards for all the kids in your class or wish a happy day to those that did have someone special. I wasn't bitter about it. It just wasn't for me. But this year I forgot that my guy is sentimental and squishy inside—which I love—so I hurt him when I planned over it. But that's not my point. He gave me a letter he had written to me four years ago. It starts like this, "You'll notice there is a gap between my previous letter and this one." Yes, he has been writing letters to me for years, even when we weren't together and this is the first one I've ever seen.
Yesterday, February 7th, was what I've deemed Best Friendship Day. It's the day that Tyler Johnson asked me to be his best friend (jokingly when we had first met). Of course I said yes but I had no idea that we would actually become best friends. Yesterday marked 5 years since that day. Let me tell you, being a best friend is hard work and each day we keep learning more and more about what it actually means. I'm so thankful for you, Tyler. Yesterday you kept me sane through a 12 hour work day and demonstrated so well what our Best Friendship Day is all about. I am thanking Jesus for you.
We sat at dinner. It was absolutely delicious which was a major consolation for the frigid wind that had struck my face numb and consequently caused my speech to slur. We talked easily and we joked; we discovered things and we dreamed. It sounds silly to admit, but I felt witty, desirable, even flirtatious. After four years of knowing each other and nearly three years of dating, those things lose their priority. It's hard to keep them up and it becomes less important.
At one point, to my utter surprise, he revealed that he doesn't think he's good enough for me. "Really?! But I thought that you thought you were the sh*t!" I joked, almost embarrassed.
"Do you know what I'm going to say?" "No, I don't." I was surprised. This felt weird. It's my mother; we can talk about anything. But we don't talk about everything and that's my fault. I told her with fumbled confidence that I wanted to marry Tyler. I felt sheepish and translucent.

Daimler future leaders lobby for key industry issues
Participants in the 2019 Daimler Truck and Bus Future Leaders' Forum have discussed key industry issues in lobbying meetings with Australian politicians.
The Daimler Future Leaders have met with Government, Opposition and minor party senators at Parliament House in Canberra, raising the importance of driver training and attraction, advanced braking and liquid fuel emergency planning.
"These issues are important to every member of the Australian trucking industry, and the ATA is proud to work with such promising participants who demonstrate a great passion and commitment," ATA Chair Geoff Crouch said today.
"Our time at Parliament House saw the Daimler Future Leaders sit in on Senate Question Time, after a formal lunch with Senator Jim Molan and lobbying meetings with members of the coalition and opposition parties," he said.
The meetings focused on solutions to the three key issues:
That autonomous emergency braking (AEBS) be mandated for new heavy vehicles.
That truck driver licensing be upgraded as part of an industry-wide effort to tackle the driver shortage. Research indicates a reasonable increase in licensing requirements would make trucking more attractive as a skilled occupation.
That fuel emergency legislation be amended to ensure trucking businesses are not sued for prioritising essential deliveries during a fuel shortage.
"Our industry is constantly changing and it's important we equip the next generation of leaders with the skills and knowledge they need to ensure the future of the trucking industry remains sustainable and viable," Mr Crouch said.
As part of the Forum, participants will each undertake a leadership project focused on an industry issue, with many developing potential solutions to the key items discussed in the lobbying meetings which will then be presented at Trucking Australia 2019.
During the Forum, participants are taking part in developmental workshops delivered by Head of the School of Politics and International Relations at the Australian National University, Dr Andrew Banfield; well-known journalist and communications expert Anne Fulwood; and CEO of Wisdom Learning Rod Hattch.
"Daimler is thrilled to be part of such an invaluable program that allows participants to work so closely with decision-makers and gain valuable industry insight from expert mentors," President and CEO of Daimler Truck and Bus Australia Pacific Daniel Whitehead said.
ATA Chair Geoff Crouch also noted the important role ATA member associations have played in the Forum's success.
"It is wonderful to have such high engagement from our member associations in developing leaders. It is clear to see each participant represents their employer and member organisation with pride," Mr Crouch said.
The 2019 Daimler Truck and Bus Future Leaders Forum welcomes representatives from Daimler Truck and Bus, ATA member associations and the ATA's safety accreditation scheme TruckSafe.

Full Figured 11
Carl Weber Presents
The Full Figured Plus Size Divas Series: Book #11
By Treasure Hernandez & Katt
Narrated by Carl Weber & Ellis Park / 7 hours 7 minutes
Once again, Carl Weber brings together two literary divas to give readers what they've been asking for: empowering stories about big, beautiful women.
"Lights, Camera, Action" by Treasure Hernandez: Janiyah Wade is a successful plus-size model who almost loses it all when she is sent to prison for three years. When things work in her favor and she is able to kick-start her career again, things are starting to look up for her and her husband, Gun. But the heat Janiyah feels when she's under the bright lights during her photo shoots is nothing compared to the heat she and Gun will feel when their blessed union is exposed for all of Raleigh, North Carolina, to see.
"How Does It Feel?" by Katt: Braylin Smith, Nayla Anderson, and Judea Hamiliton are three full-figured women who come from totally different walks of life to become the most unlikely trio of best friends. Braylin's man ain't treating her right, but he strokes her right. A better man is on the way, but not without a price. Nayla never knew true love, just convenient lovin'. Will she be willing to look past a man's wallet and accept true love? Judea has never known the touch of another, but before she can even think about committing to someone else, she needs to learn to love herself. These three ladies are dealing with drama almost as big as their beautiful curves. Travel with them as they ride through this adventure called life.

ASP demo to upload and resize a JPEG image with csImageFile.
This demo uses both our csImageFile and csASPUpload components. It allows you to upload a JPG image and specify some new size and compression options. After uploading it will display the reduced image, as well as some details.
The original file size is limited to 600 KB, and it must be in JPG format. Use the browse button to find a JPG image on your system.
We have two downloadable demos that deal with uploading an image. These both show how to store the images in a database (MS Access). One demo is for use with csASPUpload only, the other also allows resizing and requires csImageFile as well.

Fomenth is known in the real world as George. He is writing and composing, in general, producing music since 2000 of any kind. Before this he was playing drums and his style was death/black/-core metal...! During, the last 2 years, his sound became more like Experimental with many Psychedelic & Goa Trance, Drum & Bass, Ambient and Trip-Hop influences with the addition of dark elements. He is interested in working with other artists, producers or singers, who share similar interests, so messages will not be ignored, no matter where you live.
