Peel and chop the butternut squash into 1-2 inch pieces. This is my most hated vegetable to prepare, but I find it easier if you chop the top off, then cut in half horizontally across the 'belly' just before the hollow bit. You then have two more manageable pieces that you can peel using a knife (unless you have a very good very sturdy veg peeler). Peel and chop the onion and dice up the peppers and finely chop up as much chilli as you want to put in.
In a big pan or your slow cooker, saute all the veg together in a little oil, adding the butternut squash in last. Then add the minced garlic and chilli cook for a further minute or so or until the garlic is smelling good. Add in the rest of the spices, the chipotle paste and the plum tomatoes. Squidge up the tomatoes as you put them in so that they break apart. Give that a good stir and reduce the heat down so it's just bubbling a bit. Fill up the tin from the tomatoes with water and add in with the vegetable stock cube or melt.
Next, take the quinoa and give it a REALLY good rinse under the cold tap at full whack. Then add to the pot, stirring well. Leave on slow cook / 90c in the oven – for at least 2 hours, or to simmer on the hob for 30-40 minutes if you're in a rush. Keep checking it for liquid amounts regularly and add more water if needed.

John "Dan" Archer (18 June 1941 – 12 December 2021) was an English former footballer who played as a midfielder and inside forward for five professional teams.

He began his career with Port Vale in July 1958, before moving on to Bournemouth & Boscombe Athletic in May 1961. Five years later he signed with Crewe Alexandra for a £3,000 fee. He helped the club to win promotion out of the Fourth Division in 1967–68, but was sold on to Huddersfield Town for £8,000 in January 1968. He then signed with Chesterfield for a £1,000 fee in May 1969, and captained the club to the Fourth Division title in 1969–70. He later played for Sandbach Ramblers, Congleton Town and Nantwich Town, and scouted for Chesterfield.

Career

Port Vale
Archer graduated through the Port Vale junior squad to sign as a professional in July 1958. He made his Third Division debut in the 1959–60 campaign under manager Norman Low. He scored twice against Wrexham in a 3–1 victory at Vale Park on 16 April 1960, finishing the campaign with three goals in six games. However, he featured just four times on 1960–61, and was moved on to league rivals Bournemouth & Boscombe Athletic on a free transfer in May 1961, then managed by Bill McGarry.

Bournemouth & Boscombe Athletic
He scored two goals on his club debut. Bournemouth were pushing promotion, and finished in third place, three points short of promotion in 1961–62. They finished in fifth place in 1962–63, six points short of their target. A fourth-place finish followed in 1963–64, four points shy of promotion. They then dropped to eleventh place in 1964–65 under Reg Flewin. Archer left the club following a further slip down the table in 1965–66 under Freddie Cox's stewardship. He scored 37 goals in 139 league games during his time on the south coast.

Crewe Alexandra
He then moved on to Ernie Tagg's Crewe Alexandra for a £3,000 fee and was converted from an inside forward into a midfielder. Crewe were aiming for promotion in the Fourth Division, but the "Railwaymen" finished fifth in 1966–67, four points short of promotion. Crewe won promotion the following season, though Archer left the club midway through.

Huddersfield Town
In January 1968, Archer was sold to Huddersfield Town for a fee of £8,000 plus a player in exchange. He played nine Second Division games without scoring under Tom Johnston in the 1967–68 campaign and struggled with injuries.

Chesterfield
Archer remained in the Fourth Division after putting pen to paper with Chesterfield, where he was also appointed club captain after being signed for a £1,000 fee in May 1969; manager Jimmy McGuigan could have signed him on a free transfer but decided to authorise the transfer fee so as to prevent other clubs from making Archer an offer. After finishing just one place and two points above the re-election zone in 1968–69, the "Spireites" topped the division in 1969–70; Archer scored two goals direct from corners during the 1969–70 season. They then finished fifth in 1970–71, nine points short of a second successive promotion. He took over penalty taking duties from Kevin Randall in 1971. Archer retired after the club finished in mid-table in 1971–72. Fans nicknamed him Dan Archer after The Archers radio programme. He played a total of 129 games for Chesterfield, scoring 24 goals.

Style of play
Able to play as an inside forward or midfielder, Archer was a slow, stocky and aggressive player who had good technical qualities, vision and set piece ability. These abilities made up for a lack of pace, whilst his leadership compensated for his occasional lack of discipline.

Later life
After retiring from the professional game, Archer became player-manager of Sandbach Ramblers and also appeared for Congleton Town before holding the managerial reins at Nantwich Town from January 1982 to the end of the season. He also scouted in Wales and the West Country for former club Chesterfield. He also worked as a greenkeeper at Malkins Bank course, near Sandbach. He also served as the President of the Wrekin Federation of Pigeon Fanciers.

Archer died in December 2021, aged 80.

FORUM2015: How FES Unleashed the Power of the Commons
In Property Rights April 21, 2015
At Omidyar Network, we often refer to property rights as one of the world's most underused solutions to economic empowerment that is hiding in plain sight. Fortunately for all of us, Jagdeesh Rao had his eyes wide open back in 2001 when he created the Foundation for Ecological Security (FES). Last week at the Skoll World Forum on Entrepreneurship in Oxford, England, Jagdeesh and FES were awarded one of the coveted Skoll Awards for Social Entrepreneurship; and, as longtime supporters of FES, we at Omidyar Network know how well deserved this award really is.
FES is one of the best exemplars of the tenets of Omidyar Network's property rights strategy, which asserts that secure rights to property and resources trigger a multiplier effect of opportunity that ripples throughout a nation by promoting social inclusion, economic stability, better environmental stewardship, and responsible private investment that lowers financial risk.
Fundamental to this approach is the recognition that the concept of property rights is not just confined to private property and securing titles or tenure for individual families and communities. Indeed, viable and healthy community commons can be just as important to the physical and economic well-being of regions and nations. That is exactly what FES has proven in India.
In India, many rural communities rely on publicly-owned lands for their food and livelihoods. Yet, in many parts of the country, the commons had not been well governed. Local authorities had neither the resources nor the wherewithal to protect these ecologically sensitive environments, which became overused, depleted, and classified as wastelands. With access to few legal rights and declining benefits from use of these lands, local communities also lacked strong incentives to effectively manage common spaces.
Over the last 14 years, Jagdeesh and his team have transformed this commons dilemma into a shining example of Nobel LaureateElinor Ostrom's theories in action. FES works with community members to form local committees and develop governance mechanisms that mitigate disputes and manage resources through structures like water users' associations, grazing committees, and forest committees. FES helps communities gain stronger legal rights to common lands, shifting incentives from overuse or misuse towards productive stewardship. It also works with local leaders to build support for community administration.
FES' community-led efforts are implemented in close coordination with the government of India. They have improved the management of well over four million acres of land, transforming denuded hillsides and valleys into healthier, more biodiverse environments and improving opportunities for locals to grow food, raise livestock, and protect and expand their livelihoods.
The result has been improvements in the quality of soil, water, and biodiversity, leading to improved agricultural productivity and economic security for the rural poor. In addition, FES' direct community engagements have significantly supported conflict resolution efforts by clarifying boundaries and defining the parameters of village management.
To date, FES has worked with over 8,800 villages and more than four million villagers to bring millions of acres of common land under village management, thereby increasing the productivity of the land and empowering the village itself to determine how best to improve their lives through better management of their crops, livestock, and forests.
For instance, in one study of 19 villages, the percentage of land used for agricultural purposes rose from 46 percent to 100 percent; the percentage that yielded two crops in a year rose from less than half to nearly 90 percent, which in turn translates to increases of as much as $1,400 per hectare in income for villagers.
To showcase Jagdeesh and his team in action, the Skoll team has put together a powerful visual essay. We are grateful to the Skoll Foundation for its support of FES, and we warmly congratulate Jagdeesh Rao on a well-deserved honor.

It was 31 degrees, sunny, and windy this morning when Colin and I went out.
Another trip down to Winston this morning. I made a quick Costco run to pick up a few things to restock the pantry and freezer. I then met Frances and Al at Lowe's to get a generator. Ours was a Generac purchased in 1998. Bob had intended to get it set up to plug into a breakere to run the whole house but we never had it done. Thankfully! It was always hard to start so I knew I would never be able to get it started, it weighed a ton, and was not on wheels.
I wanted one with an electric starter, on wheels, and big enough to run the fridge and freezer. I can live without lights and a well pump but I do not want to loose all my food. I knew it would not fit in my car so I had Al and Frances meet me so Al could help me pick one out and put it in is truck. We left there and ran another errand before stopping for lunch. Then, I left for home while Al and Frances did a couple of things in Winston before heading to Sparta.
It was 51 and breezy in Winston. When I got back home it was only 37 degrees but sunny and felt like 24 with the wind. Low of 17 tonight. While I was waiting on Frances and Al I pulled up the lantana plants and cleaned up the flower bed since it will freeze everything tonight.
They stayed awhile then headed back down the mountain for home.


We had 7 3-0 teams after Day 2. The first tiebreaker is runs given up. Here is how the teams ended up. Buhach Colony 2, Clovis 3, Clovis North 7, Foothill 8, Buchanan 8, Oakmont 9, & Clovis West 9.
The Bears, ranked No. 1 by The Bee, remained on the win column thanks to Luka Sula's four-hitter while striking out six. Stanford-bound Brock Jones had a three-run home for the Bears, while TJ Fondtain hammered a two-run shot.

Q&A: Chris Carter of "The X Files"
The creator and writer behind "The X-Files" reveals his inspiration for the sci-fi series and motivation behind the upcoming film
(National Museum of American History)
By Jesse Rhodes
Chris Carter, creator and writer of The X-Files came to the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History to donate several props and posters—including the original pilot script—from the popular television sci-fi series. The items were courtesy of Carter, producer Frank Spotnitz and 20th Century Fox.
After the donation ceremony, Carter sat down with Smithsonian magazine's Jesse Rhodes to discuss the life of the series and the upcoming film The X-Files: I Want to Believe in theatres July 25, 2008.
Where did the "I Want to Believe" poster from Mulder's office come from?
It [the poster donated to the Smithsonian] came from Gillian Anderson's collection. All the rest of the original posters had been stolen or, I assume, destroyed.
The original graphic came from me saying, "Let's get a picture of a spaceship and put—Ed Ruscha-like—"I want to believe." I love Ed Ruscha. I love the way he puts text in his paintings. (I actually got to say to him, "I was inspired by you.") When I saw the [finished] poster I recognized the photograph because it came from a series of photographs taken in Europe by a guy named Billy Meier. And I said, "Did we get the clearance for that photograph?" And they said, "Oh, yes!" Ten years went by and all of a sudden I got a call from Fox legal: "We have an intellectual property lawsuit we have to depose you for." And there was a lawsuit and they had not done the proper clearance for that photograph.
While you were working on the show, did you ever have a sense that your creation was a major piece of American pop culture?
The first inkling was when James Wolcott wrote about it in The New Yorker and I figured that if someone at The New Yorker wrote glowingly about The X Files that it had made an impact in a place I consider to be something for the record. But beyond that, I have to tell you that other than the Nielsen ratings and other than X-Files references, I had no sense of its popularity and to this day I don't have a true sense of its popularity. Even if I see 300 X-Files fans together, I can't fathom—I cannot imagine—the audience itself. All I think about is the show and all I think about is why I like it and why I like to write it and why I like the characters and what I have to say through them.
What inspired you to write The X-Files?
All the shows from my childhood. All the scary shows: Alfred Hitchcock Presents, Night Gallery, Outer Limits. There was a particularly good show on when I was in my early teens called Kolchak: The Night Stalker starring Darren McGavin. They were two two-hour movies. They were fantastic. Scary. Those things were my inspiration in terms of entertainment. Silence of the Lambs was an inspiration. It's not a mistake that Dana Scully has red hair like Clarice Starling in The Silence of the Lambs. So there were a variety of inspirations. But the idea itself came out of my religious background and my interest in science. My brother is a scientist. He's a professor at MIT. He brought science fiction into my world. But I am a person of faith and so it's the combination of those two things.
Barring the episode titled "Jump the Shark," as a writer, do you think The X-Files ever "jumped the shark?"
I don't think X-Files jumped the shark and that tongue-in-cheek title was our way of lowering the boom on anybody who thought that it did. I think it was good till the end and I think that while it changed with the exit of David Duchovny, I believe that during that period there was excellent work done, excellent storytelling, and I'll stand by all nine years of the show.
The show has been out of production for six years. What are you hoping to achieve with the upcoming film?
It was an opportunity to give the fans of The X-Files what they wanted: more Mulder and Scully. It was also an opportunity for me, having stepped away from it, to look back at it and imagine what it might be six years later and how the series might be re-evaluated by the work that is done in this movie. [Hopefully] you can look back at [the series] and realize that it's not just a scary show, it's not just a suspense thriller. It's a show about two people who have built-in personal conflicts. One is a medical doctor, a scientist who is a religious person of the Catholic faith. The other one is a person of no particular religious faith who has a great passionate belief in something that I'll call spiritual or metaphysical, which is tantamount to a religious belief. And so you've got these warring ideas inside the characters and you've got them together in a way that, for me, addresses and asks a lot of the important questions about life itself.

Wonderful '60s fashions with bells on are modelled in the grounds of Woburn Abbey.
Various shots show the latest fashion collection from Parquerette being modelled by girls in the grounds of the abbey and stately home at Woburn. Each outfit features small bells.
A girl walks beside the lake in a stripy dress and matching coat that has a bell sewn to the hem; at least people can hear her coming. Two models wear evening gowns on the lawn before the house; one girl wears a bell and a piece of tinsel as a bracelet. A girl with long dark hair in plaits (with bells on the ends) wears a long pink dress with an organdie apron; she wriggles her golden shoe to make the bell on it tinkle.
The same girl appears in a fabulous dress with pop art flowers on it and a kind of matching cape strapped to her arms. By a rhododendron bush a model wears a divine bubblegum-pink dress with ostrich feather trim at the neck and sleeves; a bell hangs from her ear and another nestles in her hair. The dark plaits girl wears a mini dress and matching headscarf in Gaugin colours; she throws some leaves into the air and sniffs a rhododendron.


Chef Jamie Oliver's long-running British hit is now being served Stateside!
Jamie & Jimmy's Food Fight Club features Oliver and childhood buddy Jimmy Doherty, a farming expert, cooking meals with A-listers like Sienna Miller, Downton Abbey alum Hugh Bonneville, and Gwyneth Paltrow for lucky regular folks at a pop-up café on a public pier in Southend, England.
Also on the menu are some educational moments and DIY segments where Doherty gives tips on everything from using a tandoor oven to building a hog roaster. Oliver shares some tasty behind-the-scenes morsels.
Food Fight Club is pretty lively!
Jamie Oliver: It's uplifting, it's inspiring, it's interesting. The whole point is to be happy, and we do our best to keep that energy going throughout the whole hour.
You certainly didn't have trouble getting big names to cook with you.
We have such a variety — different ages, different backgrounds. And food is a good leveler. We had Goldie Hawn on, and Goldie told her daughter, Kate [Hudson], to do the show because she'd have a really good time. All of our guests say they have a great time.
Have any of the cooking segments gone sour?
Not that I can think of. But the thing that always upsets me is we'll serve all this beautiful food and, just when the guests pick up their knives and forks, the director will go, "Can you wait while we film these other people?" The food gets cold.
Any foods you're not fond of?
I'm pretty into anything cooked right. I'm just not that into reproductive organs. And I've had a few.
Your "Food Fight" segment aims to alert people to waste. What's one example?

Geography and climate have such an enormous impact on eye health. Some of the most scenic places in United States – cities that look pristine, fresh and clean all year round — can leave you with allergies, irritations and all sorts of other eye-related problems that you'd never have suspected.
Let's take Denver (CO) as a case in point for high altitude-related eye problems. The city, in spite of being perceived as one of the best places to live in the Rockies, ranked as the worst place for eye comfort. Denver scored badly on not just the altitude factor, but low humidity, moderate pollution, number of severely cold days, long commute and high computer use as well.
Salt Lake City (UT), another high altitude city like Denver, did pretty badly too, coming in third in the ratings because the amount of oxygen in the air is too low to keep the eyes optimally moist and free of dry-eye related issues.
Nine out of ten in the worst places list include cities in the West, like Los Angeles (CA) and Albuquerque (NM). While the weather in areas lying west of the Mississippi is prized for being warm and dry, the conditions of low humidity and hot, sunny days lead to a variety of eye-related allergies round the year.
Bright sunshine may lift the spirit, but living with a whole lot of it also means being exposed to a lot of eye-harming UV rays. Kansas City (OK) and Las Vegas (CA) scored poorly because excessive and continuous sunshine can be bad for eye health in the long run.
For this same reason, dry, desert climes like that in Phoenix (AZ) can lead to chronically red, dry eyes that make contact lenses hard to tolerate throughout the day.
Wind is another factor that comes into play. Windy cities like Wichita (KS) and Tulsa (OK) made the list for high amounts of eye-irritating blown dust that is carried in the air.
It is no surprise that pollution is a cardinal factor when judging cities from an eye health perspective. Large quantities of ozone and other toxic particulates scratch and sting the eyes, and continual rubbing just exacerbates the situation, affecting quality of life in places like El Paso (TX) and Phoenix (AZ).
A long, daily commute means more exposure to car-related pollution. Chicago (IL) forces one of the longest commute time on its residents, which is why the Windy City took the number 8 spot on the list.
Another factor that went against Chicago (IL) is the high internet use in homes, schools and offices. Along with Denver (CO), Chicago residents suffer from extreme eyestrain conditions because of extensive exposure to digital screens.

Q: Single private repository/branch? I am new to Github, and working on a software that I would prefer stay private.
Is the only way to hide my files from public is by paying ?
I am not connected to other users, obviously, so what are the chances that strangers can find this code/branch/class ?
Is there any simple way to hide only a single repo/branch or even make it more private ?
Is there a good alternative using Xcode?

A:
Is the only way to hide my files from public is by paying ?

This is GitHub's business model.
You can always use git on your local computer and manually sync repos between machines on a peer-to-peer basis, but if you want to use GitHub for hosting your repos privately then you'll have to pay $7/mo to store as many private repos as you want. I think it's a good deal.
However, note that both GitLab and BitBucket do offer free prviate git repo hosting, with limits.

I am not connected to other users, obviously, so what are the chances that strangers can find this code/branch/class ?

They're listed on your profile page as public repos you own.

Is there any simple way to hide only a single repo/branch or even make it more private ?

You cannot hide branches in git, this is by design.

Is there a good alternative using Xcode?

Xcode has nothing to do with git or GitHub.

Patriots to play uptempo style offense
The Patriots line up their offense in practice.
Shakeem Holloway
Updated: Aug. 8, 2014, 10 p.m.
Heritage football coach Wendell Early has been with the Patriots for about four months now, and when you watch the team practice you can see how Early's identity is written into their DNA.
While practicing, the Patriots have a clock that is running continuously to keep the pace and get the team used to Early's uptempo style of play. The team goes from drill to drill and they move fast.
"I don't stop the clock. I don't have the right to stop the clock," Early said.
Early plans to run a form of the spread-option on offense. However, the man that lines up behind the center to run that offense could be in question.
According to Early, there is no QB competition because he plans to have a varied offense that does a lot of different things. It's possible fans could see two players split time at the position. David Turner, a senior transfer who just got in a couple weeks ago from South Carolina is the only senior quarterback on the team. Anthony Stanley is the incumbent starter.
Early says that Turner can flat-out throw the ball and Stanley is special to watch when it comes to running the option.
Early says he plans to play fast, and one of his goals for the team is to always be conditioned.
"Our third goal is to not be out-conditioned. We're going to be strong in the fourth quarter. Win, lose or draw we're going to be running in the fourth quarter," Early said.
Early is not only the head coach, but he's also a position coach running the scout team.
"I love to do that because it gives the other kids a good look," Early said. "I'll run the scout defense against our offense and I'll run the scout offense against our defense. That ensures that those guys work hard. If the head coach is over doing something else, they're kind of wallowing around giving some other assistant coach a hard time. I don't let them do that.
We get over there and we get after it."
Early calls himself old-school, and it shows. The team is in for a surprise if they plan on wearing anything extra in addition to their uniforms on Friday nights.
"You should have seen them in the spring game," Early said. "Man we had every color in the rainbow, tights, one sleeve, towels and facemasks. I said, 'Listen guys, enjoy it.' They said, 'What do you mean, coach?' I said, 'You ain't never gonna wear that on Friday night.'"
Early wants his players to distinguish themselves by the way they play not the way they look.
The Patriots will scrimmage against Brooklet High School on Tuesday.

Bendis Says All New Marvel Not a Reboot. We at PopcultHQ Absolutely Disagree!
June 7, 2015 Manny Popoca Comic Book News, Comic Books, Movies / TV, Pop Cult News, Spotlight Comments Off on Bendis Says All New Marvel Not a Reboot. We at PopcultHQ Absolutely Disagree!
Say goodby to the Marvel you once loved
Brian Michael Bendis the award-winning comic writer says that Marvel's All-New All-Different line is NOT a reboot! He also tries to call out the media sites that spread such rumors. Let's first look back at what Mr. Bendis had to say during the Special Edition: NYC convention, in Marvel's panel for Marvel's "Next Big Thing."
The panel, which included Bendis, who spoke out definitively stating that Marvel's All-New All-Different approach "is no reboot," and Bendis then tries to even call out the so-called "rumor mongers who started that."
After being asked by a fan during Q&A's Bendis adamantly said,
"There is no reboot coming. It was never planned to reboot. We don't need to reboot. All continuity is still there. What we do have is a way to be additive. We're making the Marvel Universe exciting and dangerous, because you won't know what the hell is going to happen."
After another fan question that asked "How important will the X-Men and Fantastic Four be after Secret Wars?" Bendis replies with…
"It's almost like someone at Marvel is screwing around with people that have X-Men paranoia,"
D'Lando, a Marvel PR man, pointed out that there is two Wolverines on the new poster, as well as Ben Grimm, and followed up by saying, "Stay tuned…"
Well Mr. Bendis, and Marvel, Popculthq and myself as Owner/EIC I have this in response since we are one of those media sites that started this "rumor".
When it looks like a reboot, it taste like a reboot and reeks of a reboot……..then in all cases it IS a f@$&ing reboot!!!
Even if some elements of the original Marvel still exist in his so-called "continuity" this is not the Marvel we the fans grew up with and really don't want any involvement with this so-called "NEW" Marvel. Keep going Hollywood and drawing in the popular crowds for the moment but honestly Disney and their business practices are interfering with Marvel creativity…….I don't like that. The "House of Ideas" that Stan Lee and Jack Kirby so creatively helped build from the ground up, has just turned into a major cash cow looking for the next hype wave to bank in on. To me, Independent comics is where it's going to be at in the very near future and we only have to thank Marvel and DC comics for that.
We here at PulpcultHQ pride ourselves on setting the trends and being able to pick and choose the next wave to hit the pop world's shores. We do see Marvel keeping its success in the movie realm and new comic book readers that come from that exposure. Marvel will even strike it huge with a new crop of female comic book readers and the variant comic book cover hounds will still be there. Eventually though what All-New All-Different Marvel will end up doing is lose a slew of hard-core Classic Marvel fans and those longtime comic fans who are desperately hungry for new and creative stories, not just the rehashing of old ideas.
What do the fans gain with the New Marvel:
– Iron Man as the face of Marvel characters: Brian M. Bendis is going to helm Marvel's newest headliner. With Disney wanting to phase out Wolverine, and till they get Spider-Man back fully, Iron Man is who we the fans are stuck with as Marvel's new golden boy but still not the golden goose. The golden goose prize goes to someone else at Marvel comics and that's even more ironic when I tell you who that is.
– A much more diverse group of superheroes: There is no complaint with me on this. The new crop of female readers and young kids is great to see as a veteran comic book fan. It's just a shame it has to come at the expense of a corporation's decision to move this phase in order to compensate for the losses of other comic book properties like the "true" F4 and the X-Men.
Ms. Marvel, Spider-Gwen, Silk, Miles Morales, Female Thor, Female Wolverine, Falcon Captain America are all good for the young and female comic book industry I won't deny that.
– All Different versions of character fans grew up reading: We have Female Thor who can be connected to the movies now with Jane. Since Disney doesn't want to promote the X-Men and Wolverine anymore for FOX so then the Marvel comics are forced to make changes to the character by trying to make Logan's daughter "X-23" the all-different Wolverine. But Marvel cannot lose out on milking their biggest mutant…..oh wait. Because Disney can't use mutants in their movies why not just take the mutant word out of Marvel comics now to spite FOX. So non-mutant Old Man Logan makes his debut into the mainstream comic world because Marvel still does not want to lose out on the Wolverine 4 movie money. Marvel has Spider-Man movie rights on loan so they will still make Spider-Man comics. Not only that, we get two Spider-Mans! Peter Parker for the upcoming movie tie-ins and Miles Morales for the diverse crowd and possible future movie plans.
– Spotlights on Hollywood characters: So you can all see the pattern now correct? You see why Bendis does not want to call this a reboot because it's all basically a money-grab-reboot by Disney!! Daredevil, Ant-Man, Deadpool, Dr Strange, Black Panther, Captain Marvel, Inhumans and of course Guardians of the Galaxy. The whole reason for Secret Wars was to do the same thing DC comics did when they launched New 52. Everything you once knew about that company's history is supposed to be erased from your memory but still stay in the back of you mind when introduced to a new version of that companies universe. Only now with Marvel all that lovely Marvel history will be oriented toward the aspects introduced in the entertainment world. The Infinity Gems changes, the way SHIELD with Quake, the Inhumans will also be more interesting all of a sudden. If you want to know who's going to be popular in Marvel comics just look towards the future of Marvel films and TV projects
– Inhumans: I spotlight the Inhumans because this is what I'm thinking Disney/Marvel are trying to do. Since they want to phase the mutant gene out of Marvel like a Cassandra Nova, Marvel will replace the mutant gene with the Inhumans gene! It will no longer be safe to be an Inhuman for they will be the newly persecuted group in the Marvel U.
Deadpool is still Marvel comics major cash maker! Even if it is still owned by Fox Studios they won't fade him out!!
– Deadpool: If Marvel does not own Deadpool then why are they going to still make Deadpool comics unlike the other disbanded misfit characters not in the Marvel Studios stables. It is very simple…….Deadpool is the GOLDEN GOOSE Marvel will not miss out on. Even if FOX won't play ball by giving back the mutants to Marvel Studios/Disney, there is no way in hell Marvel comics would pass up on the Deadpool craze. This is the only exception I see from Disney's newest marketing plan also known as The All-New All-Diffrent Marvel.
What are the fans losing with the New Marvel:
– Wolverine and Spider-Man as the face of Marvel comics: Whatever Marvel studios and Disney do not own will no longer be the face of Marvel comics. Even the Fantastic Four will not be displayed in ads anymore. This is all marketing strategy.
– No more mutants: The whole Marvel mutant lore is somehow wiped out of everyone's consciousness. Mutants are no longer the persecuted superhero group of Marvel. That title will belong to the Inhumans.
– Massive events: The massive cross-over events that made longtime fans drool like Avengers vs. X-Men, Civil War, and Infinity Gauntlet will never feel the same. Marvel comics will be All-New All-Different but they will all be All-Watereddown! With no X-Men, Fantastic Four or even Wolverine to headline such massive epic stories, it will be up to the new batch to carry the load. I don't see future events ever being as good as they have just been recently even as Secret Wars has been. This will be the final one.
– The phasing out of characters Marvel does not have movie right to: So if I haven't knocked it over your head enough by now. In order to spite FOX studios and force them to give those right back to Marvel: Fantastic Four, Wolverine, X-Men, Deadpool. The war of Disney and Warner Bro. is what we the long time comic book fans have to suffer with. That is why I think the future of comics is not with Marvel or DC comics anymore. Superheroes comics are in the downfall and Indy comics is the place to go for creative and original content!
If All-New All-Diffrent Marvel is not a "reboot", I don't know what is? Walks like a duck, sounds like a duck and looks like a duck to Bendis it must be a goose! Huh?!

Der Neurather See, manchmal auch Martinssee genannt, ist ein Tagebaurestsee nordwestlich des heute zu Grevenbroich gehörigen Ortes Neurath.

Entstehung: Tagebau Neurath-Nord
Der See entstand aus dem Restloch des Braunkohletagebaus Neurath-Nord. Hier, im Grubenfeld "Neurath 3", vormals "Prinzessin Victoria", wurde von 1960 bis 1985 Braunkohle abgebaut. Aufgeschlossen wurde der Tagebau von der Martinswerk GmbH für chemische und metallurgische Produktion aus Quadrath-Ichendorf, weshalb der See auch Martinssee genannt wird. Geführt wurde der Betrieb im Auftrag des Martinswerkes durch ein Konsortium unter der Führung der Strabag Bau-AG. Für den Abbau im Tagebau wurden Schaufelradbagger eingesetzt, das Verkippen des Abraumes erfolgte über Bandanlagen und Absetzer. Die Kohle wurde per LKW zum Martinswerk befördert, wo sie zur Erzeugung von Strom und Prozessdampf für die Herstellung von Hüttentonerde diente.

Nach der Stilllegung wurde die Tagebaufläche rekultiviert, teilweise verfüllt und teilweise geflutet.

Nachfolgenutzung
Der Neurather See und sein Umfeld dienen heute primär der Naherholung. Das Ufer ist durch einen umlaufenden Weg für das Wandern und Spazierengehen erschlossen. Das Baden ist aus Sicherheitsgründen nicht erlaubt.

Der Angelverein ASV Glückauf bewirtschaftet den See als Angelgewässer für unter anderem  Karpfen, Rotaugen, Barsche, Schleien, Hechte, Zander und Aale.

Auf dem Betriebsgelände der Tagesanlagen des ehemaligen Tagebaus entstand ein Bauhof der Stadt Grevenbroich.

In geringem Umfang werden in den Neurather See über zwischengeschaltete Bioklärteiche warme Abwässer aus den nahegelegenen RWE-Kraftwerken Frimmersdorf und Neurath eingeleitet. Hierdurch erhöht sich die Wassertemperatur des Sees leicht; er friert im Winter später zu als andere Gewässer und ist deshalb ein beliebter Winterrastplatz für Wasservögel, darunter teilweise auch bedrohte und seltene Arten.

Am 13. April 1992 ereignete sich in der Region ein Erdbeben mit Epizentrum Roermond mit einer Stärke von 5,8 auf der Richterskala. In der Folge rutschte die Uferböschung des Sees auf einer Fläche von etwa 900 m² ab. Hiervon betroffen waren auch Teile des Wanderweges. Eine Ruhebank, Abfallbehälter und Hinweisschilder wurden ins Wasser gerissen; diese wurden 1996 durch Taucher geborgen.

Photovoltaikanlage

Am Nordufer des Sees, also in Südhanglage, wurde 1991 von RWE eine Photovoltaik-Freiflächenanlage installiert.

Die Anlage baute auf Erkenntnissen aus der ähnlichen, drei Jahre zuvor errichteten Photovoltaikanlage Kobern-Gondorf auf. Bestehend aus 3.700 Modulen mit einer Fläche von insgesamt 3.500 m² erzeugt die Anlage am Neurather See mit spezifizierten 360 kWp jährlich etwa 270.000 kWh elektrische Energie. Zum Zeitpunkt der Errichtung war die Anlage Neurath das größte Photovoltaikkraftwerk in Deutschland; hier kamen erstmals in Deutschland Großmodule zum Einsatz.

Die Anlage ist die nördlichste Station auf der Straße der Energie.

Sean Spicer Imagines Coretta Scott King Would Change Her Mind About Jeff Sessions
He also lashed out at critics of the president's anti-terror raid in Yemen.
News and Engagement EditorBio | Follow
Amid mounting outrage over Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell's decision to silence Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) as she read Coretta Scott King's 1968 letter opposing the appointment of Sen. Jeff Sessions' to the federal bench, White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer on Wednesday said he "respectfully disagreed" with the assessment by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s widow that Sessions, Trump's pick for attorney general, was a threat to civil rights.
"Like the late Arlen Specter," Spicer said, "I can only hope that if she was still with us today, that after getting to know him and to see his record and his commitment to voting and civil rights," she would have agreed with Specter when he said he regretted his vote to kill Sessions' nomination for a federal judgeship decades before.
"I would hope that if she was still with us today," Spicer continued, "she would share that sentiment."
The remarks were swiftly mocked on social media, with many slamming Spicer for appearing to recast King's views on civil rights and Sessions' controversial record on the issue.
I think we can safely say that Spicer is wrong. If anything, King's letter now applies to the whole GOP. https://t.co/Q9tL0AgVpw
— Jamelle Bouie (@jbouie) February 8, 2017
Warren was forced to stop reading from King's letter, in which she accused Sessions of using his office to "chill the free exercise of the vote by black citizens," Tuesday night after McConnell invoked an arcane rule prohibiting senators from impugning one another. The incident sparked widespread protest among Democrats, who in turn used it as further evidence against President Donald Trump's pick for attorney general.

Spicer's statement on King came shortly after he angrily defended the president's anti-terror raid in Yemen in January in which civilians and a Navy SEAL were killed. He suggested anyone who questioned the success of the mission was doing a "disservice" to the Navy SEAL killed in the mission.
When asked if his comments included Sen. John McCain, who previously described the raid as a "failure," Spicer replied that the message was for "anybody."

(Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol) A protocol for switching to a backup router in the case of failure. Two or more routers are set up with VRRP, and one is elected the "master." The master router continuously sends advertisement packets to the backups, and if the advertisements stop, one of the backup routers becomes the master. All routers share a "virtual IP" address, so they are all seen as one address. VRRP can also be used for load sharing. See HSRP.

There are a variety of custom changes available for the PSU. Some of can be done by simply adding parts that are marked as optional in the design documentation, others will require replacing existing parts. Additionally our (and your) ideas about further improvements will be also listed here.
The power board can be connected to DC as specified. Or the AC/DC switching power supply modules can be left out, and an AC power input connected to the PSU itself. For the planned EEZ H24005 AC/DC power supply modules were chosen. Therefore the DC from them is supplied to the PSU boards. If you got only the PCBs or the assembled versions, and not the complete kit, AND you happen to have an appropriate spare mains transformer you can use it instead. Construction requirements for a transformer options are really minimal – only one secondary winding per channel is needed. With the right output voltage and current/power you can (re)use it for a new bench power supply.
Mains transformer output must be connected to the AC input and a few additional parts are required. Note that this means that AC power will be present within the PSU in ways not covered in the standard PSU documentation, schematics, and photos. Take due care to ensure that opportunities for failures (shorts, loose wires, bad solder joints, and so on), and for electrocution are reduced to the minimum.
Caution: make sure that max. output voltage (Vmax) when rectified never exceed the absolute maximum rating of both IC1 and Q1. They will be permanently damaged. The limit is 60 Vdc which is just about 41.6 Vac. The power board has been tested with the Talema 55186-P1S2 mains transformer; the nominal output is 40 Vac.
Until the present, the EEZ PSU design has been tested with two output ranges: 50 V, 3.12 A and 40 V, 5 A. The later was selected for the EEZ H24005 model. If someone wants to use a non-standard power input e.g. 36 V, 100 W LED driver power module, or some smaller transformer then the one tested in #1 above, modifications to the CV and/or CC control loop gain will be required.
The gain of the CV control loop can be changed by substituting a different feedback loop resistor for IC5B. The maximum output voltage is reached when the drop across it is equal to the reference voltage; in the standard PSU design, that will be +2.5 V, provided by the precision voltage reference IC9. Therefore, for a default setup of 40 V we need a gain (actually an attenuation) of 2.5 / 40 = 0.625, which, when translated into fractional numbers gives us a rounded ratio of 5/8. Now we have to choose two resistor values with that ratio, and check to see if they will work using one of many online op-amp voltage and gain calculator which can be found here. A hand calculation is likely to teach more, however. One of the main obstacles here will be the required precision. You should choose at most 0.1% and a definitely a low temperature coefficient for acceptable results. The following table offers resistor names and values for two additional ranges together with the default of 40 V.
The gain of the CC control loop depends on IC7A's gain, but also on the current sensing resistor R65 that defines the voltage drop which can be expected for current flowing to the load. According to Ohm's Law, it's obvious that the voltage drop (U = I * R) will be higher, and we can expect better precision, for smaller currents. But that will also mean higher power dissipation for that resistor. For example with 200 mΩ we'll get 1 V for a maximum range of 5 A, but power dissipation in that case will be 5 x 5 x 0.2 = 5 W which will be invitation to failure and fire. A constant dissipation of 5W is not at all easy to remove; it is therefore unacceptable. With a selected 20 mΩ resistance, it is 500 mW but maximum output is also ten time smaller at 100 mV. Again, as in case of the CV control loop gain discussed above, 100 mV has to be amplified to 2.5 V for a full scale reading. Therefore, the required gain will be 2.5 / 0.1 = 25. The following table offers two additional ranges together with the default one of 5 A.
The PSU firmware has to see operational changes on the Power boards, otherwise you the PSU will produce unexpected, and probably unacceptable, output values. The recommended place for all user code changes is conf_user.h file.
For example, we might want to expand the voltage range because we have found that when a channel is calibrated it cannot reach the maximum value, e.g. instead of 40 V, we get 39.95 V. This can be managed by changing the CV control loop gain (default, 0.625) by increasing R44, R54 to 24 kΩ to decrease gain to about 0.0615. In that case the maximum programmed value (for DAC output 0xFFFF) will be 40.67 V. The firmware constants of interest for 40 V, 5 A configuration are CH_PARAMS_U_40V, CH_PARAMS_40V_5A and CHANNELS.
The Arduino Shield carries the Arduino board used for digital control of the PSU. The Arduino board is also powered with 5 V via the Arduino Shield (from the Auxiliary power module). But some Arduino boards are designed to be powered also from a connected host PC via USB port. Therefore, if a USB cable is connected to the PSU, the Arduino board will stay powered even if the PSU is disconnected from the mains voltage. Which will make SW1 on the front panel effectively unusable.
If this behavior is unacceptable, it can be easily fixed by removing MOSFET T2 (see Fig. 1). Additionally, IC2 could be removed since Vin power input will not be used.
The location of the relevant parts is marked in red in Fig. 2. When hot-air is used for desoldering additional, care should be taken to not affect the 36-pin 0.1" vertical socket (far right). A barrier to the hot air might be sensible.
The USB cable that formerly was connected to the Arduino board at X9 must be moved to X10. Removal of the X9 connector makes certain that the USB cabling cannot compromise the electrical isolation of the PSU.
If such a module is planned to be used permanently, take into account that the existing EEZ H24005 model rear panel cannot be used for mounting this module because it's been punched for an RJ-45 connector mounted on the Auxiliary power module. The X20 pinout is shown in the table below. Please note that it shares the same chip select line as IC26, therefore they cannot both be installed. Neither will operate correctly if so.

Fischione Instruments CFO David Casuccio was named by Pittsburgh Business Times as a Pittsburgh's CFO of the Year in the Manufacturing category at an awards ceremony held November 17 at the Omni William Penn Hotel, Pittsburgh.
Chief financial officer, chief operating officer, E.A. Fischione Instruments Inc.
Prior Experience: Chief financial officer, RJ Lee Group Inc.
A few days after this interview, David Casuccio, CFO of E.A. Fischione Instruments, Inc., planned to fly to Germany as the point person setting up a new division for the company. "I'm handling all the organizational details setting up the new division," he said.
Casuccio, who holds a prominent role with E.A. Fischione, joined the company in 1999 after being approached by Paul Fischione, the CEO.
"At the time, we had 20 employees; now we have 80. Growing a company is difficult, but it's rewarding to see it happen," he said.
With that growth has come increasing responsibility for Casuccio, including the recent addition of 20,000 square feet to its headquarters in Export. "I was responsible for the financing, the tax-exempt loan and working with general contractors," he said.
Before his current job, he worked with RJ Lee Group Inc., a Pittsburgh-based startup his brother was involved with. He set up the financial systems for the company, then stayed for 16 years. Casuccio also spent a few years as a deputy sheriff in Jefferson County, Ohio, then worked for Williams Steel Co. in Weirton, Ohio.
On hand to celebrate with Casuccio was Fischione Instruments CEO Paul Fischione, Fischione's spouse, Nancy Fischione, and Casuccio's daughter, Nicole Casuccio.

A busload of ill-prepared travelers in the cruel grip of the Sahara confront likely death by enacting scenes from "King Lear," as unlikely as that may sound, in the outstanding Dogme 95 film "The King Is Alive."
About as far from a Shakespearean stage but as close to Shakespearean essence as they can be, a group of travelers stranded in the Sahara decided to put on "King Lear." It's not as ridiculous as it sounds. In fact, it's rather brilliant.
Written by: Anders Thomas Jensen, Kristian Levring.
Cast: Miles Anderson, Romane Bohringer, David Bradley, David Calder, Bruce Davison, Brion James, Peter Khubeke, Vusi Kunene, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Janet McTeer, Chris Walker, Lia Williams.
"Do you understand this? This is a serious situation," says one British passenger, alongside their broken-down tourist bus. "Am I right? This is a serious situation."
"Oh, this is deadly serious," answers Jack, an Australian outdoorsman who seems to be the only one who knows anything about desert survival.
Before setting off for help at the nearest village four days' hike away, he instructs the group to follow five rules if they want to live. Gather water and food, build a shelter, stay visible, and keep their spirits up.
While the others throw an ill-advised, energy-expending party the first night, the group's elder, Henry — a former actor who now makes a living reading lousy scripts in Hollywood — has an idea that will focus their energies in the empty days ahead. On the back of the screenplay for "Space Killers," he writes out what he can remember of "King Lear" with the idea of staging it right there, on the parched, sandy ground in the middle of an abandoned mining settlement.
Maybe that will keep their spirits up. And more, maybe it will express something of their humanity in the face of their own steady deterioration.
The genius of "The King Is Alive" is that it doesn't retell "Lear" — it's no daring reinterpretation with modern-day costumes and nontraditional casting, nor a cleverly rewritten adaptation. Rehearsed scenes and muttered lines from Shakespeare — acted as artlessly as any half-dozen ordinary people straight off a tourist bus would surely do — commingle with scenes of their real degeneration, until fragmentary visions of Lear, his daughters, the stranded tourists and their desolate, lifeless landscape have become one.
It's the themes of "Lear" that resonate through the film. As the characters tread steadily toward a death they can foresee but not prevent, sanity ebbs and mindless fury seeps through the psychic cracks. As they have less and less to lose, the thing that in less testing times they might have called love peels away and their truest, sometimes most vicious selves are bared. In many senses, from the best to the worst, they show what is at their core as human beings.
"The King Is Alive" is number four in the series of Dogme 95 films, made according to a set of rules that seeks to strip away the artifice of modern moviemaking and break out of rigid genres. In the best cases ("The Celebration," "Dancer in the Dark" and "Breaking the Waves," which inspired this style), what's left is taut drama full of original ideas, emphasizing the script and the actors rather than special effects. "The King Is Alive" is a powerful addition to this legacy and an intensely human film.

Qantas has named a new head for its loyalty unit, as well as a new chief customer officer.
Olivia Wirth has been tapped to head the company's loyalty business, replacing Jayne Hrdlicka who announced her departure from the Qantas Group in December 2017.
A nine-year veteran of Qantas, Wirth is now the chief customer officer.
Replacing her in the chief customer officer role will be Vanessa Hudson, a 23-year veteran of the company whose current role is executive manager of sales and distribution.
"At the senior executive level we have a number of very high calibre individuals who have a deep understanding of our business, and Olivia and Vanessa are two standout examples of that," says chief executive Alan Joyce.
"Olivia has been on the Group Management Committee for eight years and has very successfully led the Qantas brand, including managing the marketing function for Frequent Flyer, as part of her portfolio. It's a business she understands well and that will benefit from her strong customer analytics and marketing experience as this part of our portfolio keeps expanding."

A combination of stable carbon and nitrogen isotope analysis of collagen and radiogenic strontium isotope analysis of tooth enamel was used to investigate diet and mobility at the early Neolithic settlement of Nieder-Mörlen in Germany. The carbon and nitrogen ratios suggest a mixed terrestrial based diet that is consistent with data previously published for early Neolithic sites in Europe. The strontium isotope data indicate a high degree of human mobility with only one individual having an isotope ratio consistent with locally derived strontium. Unusually, a group of non-local juveniles with isotope ratios typical of upland regions is also present at the settlement but there are no adult burials with such values. Whilst transhumance is considered as an explanation, it would not explain why these non-local juveniles lived foreshortened lives and other possible mechanisms are therefore discussed.


I like feeling that I have accomplished things at work. This could be helping to resolve an issue or risk, closing an action item or helping to progress work towards a milestone. On many days where I just sit in meetings I do not feel like much has been accomplished and it feels like the day was wasted.
Many people focus on their calendars and what meetings they have during the day but I believe we should focus on what work needs to be done and how best to move it along. This is where meetings should be an enabler of progress but not the sole focus. So, when we are sitting in meetings we should ask ourselves what are we trying to accomplish and how can we best do that.
Making progress is the measure of a good day and allows us to have that sense of accomplishment and purpose. Otherwise the only thing we have accomplished is to have completed another day.
I was in Australia a few years back and the local people have a concept of a "walkabout" which is a journey on foot undertaken by an Aboriginal in order to live in the traditional manner. A walkabout can also be defined as "an informal stroll among a crowd conducted by a visitor." I like to take informal strolls in the office to catch up with my professional network.
Taking Walkabouts in the office provides many benefits. For one, it invests time in professional relationships and builds strength in the coalition of people that you work with. It also provides a valuable means of sharing and collecting information on projects, organizational updates and key initiatives. Lastly it gets you out of the office and moving, which helps to break up a long workday and is good for health.
So we don't have to travel to The Outback to take a Walkabout….just get up from your seat and "walk about" the office.
Lots of people have dreams – they may include traveling the world, making a lot of money, or retiring early. But these are not goals. The difference between a dream and a goal is that goals have a plan. In order for a dream to be realized, a person must think through how they plan to realize it, what the steps are and what specific actions will be needed.
All of these items are important to ensure that the trip goes well, that we maximize our experience there and that we are prepared for many different scenarios. These types of trips are supposed to be "vacations" from work but can often cause more work. Like on our work projects, I do believe that planning is an investment in time that will yield many benefits. In this case it will be a trip to remember for the rest of our lives!
I am somewhat of an idealist. I believe that doing good work should be enough to be recognized, get rewarded and move up in your career. I wish that were the case. Politics does play a big role in all of these things as evident by several scenarios which I have seen over and over.
Politics matter because of human nature. People naturally want to help "their" people, they see others through their own filters and biases and they hold grudges. All of these things have impacts and create the scenarios listed above.
I am definitely not an expert in office politics but I do follow a few guidelines in a deliberate attempt to be better at it.

Q: Highcharts Export Server Now importing External Pattern Images? I am using Highcharts Export Server and its an external server. I am sending a JSON request to it and want to get the image out there on the screen. I have the sample working if I just draw graph on the screen as shown in the fiddle below with the Graph as it looks like.

Normal Chart can be found here
Highcharts.chart('container', {
  chart: {
    type: 'bar'
  },
  title: {
    text: 'Stacked bar chart'
  },
  xAxis: {
    categories: ['Apples', 'Oranges', 'Pears', 'Grapes', 'Bananas']
  },
  yAxis: {
    min: 0,
    title: {
      text: 'Total fruit consumption'
    }
  },
  legend: {
    reversed: true
  },
  plotOptions: {
    series: {
    stacking: 'normal'
    }
  },
  series: [{
    name: 'John',
    data: [5, 3, 4, 7, 2],
    color: {
      pattern: 'https://sampleproject-shivkumarganesh.c9users.io/img/Dots_Large.png',
      width: 10,
      height: 10
    }
  }, {
    name: 'Jane',
    data: [2, 2, 3, 2, 1],
    color: {
      pattern:'https://sampleproject-shivkumarganesh.c9users.io/img/Grid.png',
      width: 10,
      height: 10
    }
  }, {
    name: 'Joe',
    data: [3, 4, 4, 2, 5],
    color: {
      pattern:'https://sampleproject-shivkumarganesh.c9users.io/img/Bricks.png',
      width: 15,
      height: 15
    }
  }]
});

But when I try to host my server to print this using Highcharts Export Server, I get a graph which is nothing but Blank Lines as shown below:-

Edited Code Here with Export Server
    $(function () {
    $("#b").click(testPOST);

    var exportUrl = 'http://export.highcharts.com/';

    function testPOST() {

        var optionsStr = '{"chart":{"type":"bar"},"title":{"text":"Stacked bar chart"},"xAxis":{"categories":["Apples","Oranges","Pears","Grapes","Bananas"]},"yAxis":{"min":0,"title":{"text":"Total fruit consumption"}},"legend":{"reversed":true},"plotOptions":{"series":{"stacking":"normal"}},"series":[{"name":"John","data":[5,3,4,7,2],"color":{"pattern":"https://sampleproject-shivkumarganesh.c9users.io/img/Dots_Large.png","width":10,"height":10}},{"name":"Jane","data":[2,2,3,2,1],"color":{"pattern":"https://sampleproject-shivkumarganesh.c9users.io/img/Grid.png","width":10,"height":10}},{"name":"Joe","data":[3,4,4,2,5],"color":{"pattern":"https://sampleproject-shivkumarganesh.c9users.io/img/Bricks.png","width":15,"height":15}}]}';
        dataString = encodeURI('async=true&type=jpeg&width=400&options=' + optionsStr);

        if (window.XDomainRequest) {
            var xdr = new XDomainRequest();
            xdr.open("post", exportUrl+ '?' + dataString);
            xdr.onload = function () {
                console.log(xdr.responseText);
                $('#container').html('');
            };
            xdr.send();
        } else {
            $.ajax({
                type: 'POST',
                data: dataString,
                url: exportUrl,
                success: function (data) {
                    console.log('get the file from relative url: ', data);
                    $('#container').html('');
                },
                error: function (err) {
                    debugger;
                    console.log('error', err.statusText)
                }
            });
        }

    }
});

Now, this seems to be weird because I am not able to understand why the export server is not able to render my images that I send a JSON Request.
I have no clue what I should do to make it work and print the use the PNG images to fill the graph. I am doing this in order to print and get the graphs with patterns for people who suffer from color blindness. We need to export it to PDF after getting a png.
NOTE:-
The Stack is as follows:-

*pattern-fill plugin highcharts

George Taylor Fulford
Mr. Fulford:
Mr. Chairman, others have called me an Indian, but I now have just cause to be called one. The reason I rise at this time is this. These Iroquois Indians recently travelled to the capital of the state of Vermont to plead a case before the legislators of that state, and asking for moneys which they felt were owing them for a period of well over a century and a half. They have sent other' missions down there and met with the same result, namely a decision which was not favourable to their claim. The reason I rise is this. I just wanted to explain to the minister that these Indians are a decent, Godfearing, energetic and hard-working group. They are one of the finest bands in Canada. Their village needs improvement. I was through it a few months ago. If they need money for further development I trust that, under this amendment to the act, it will be possible for them to have it made available.
Topic: INDIAN ACT
Subtopic: AMENDMENTS RESPECTING LOANS, SEIZURE OF GOODS, ETC.
Douglas Scott Harkness
Mr. Harkness:
As far as loans authorized are concerned, the money in the revolving fund which has been used for loans has been fairly well confined to the purchase of livestock, machinery and things of that sort. I should like to ask the minister whether, by the addition of these words "for the clearing and breaking of land within reserves", it is meant that money will be available only for Indians to buy equipment to be used for that purpose, or whether the money can be borrowed and paid out to a contractor, whether white or Indian, who is in the business of clearing land.
Walter Edward Harris (Minister of Citizenship and Immigration)
Mr. Harris:
It is sufficiently broad, so I am informed, to cover any form that clearing and breaking land might take. If an Indian, having had certain land allotted to him, desires to have it broken up and cleared and is not in a position to do it himself, we could lend him the money equivalent to the cost of having a contractor clear it.
In other words, I understand that he can borrow the money from the revolving fund to pay a contractor for clearing that land?
fMr. Harris.]
John Lambert Gibson
Mr. Gibson:
Has the minister with him any figure which would indicate how much money is on loan for fishing equipment for Indians, or would he prefer to answer that question on his estimates?
On the estimates.
Section agreed to. On section 2-Seizure of goods.
Edmund Davie Fulton
Mr. Fulton:
Will the minister tell us whether this amendment, which is indicated at the end of the clause at the bottom of the page, extends to permitting one of his officers mentioned in the section to make this search without a warrant? That is something which would be important, I think, particularly in so far as the right to make this search off the reserve is concerned. I think we need to give fairly sweeping powers to the peace officers in order to protect the Indians, but I just wonder whether we should go so far-as it, seems to me this goes-as to give the right to enter and search on suspicion without a warrant off a reserve.
When the act was drafted three years ago, as my hon. friend knows, we discussed this particular section. It is clear that the superintendent and the peace officer should have all the authority which would be applicable in the case of an ordinary police officer. We also said at the time we hoped that it would not be necessary to authorize this authority off the reserve, since the ordinary police facilities would be available there, and that presumably there would be cases where the superintendent might conceivably follow a motorcar and the like, which was creating this offence, and might perhaps overtake it outside the reserve; that with these exceptions it would be expected that we would use the ordinary police facilities where they are available.
Frederick Davis Shaw
Mr. Shaw:
I was going to raise the point that was raised by the hon. member for Kamloops. I am still a bit concerned about this section. It is proposed that any peace officer or a superintendent, or any person authorized by the minister, may enter, open and search any place or thing in or upon which he reasonably believes any such goods or chattels may be found. I have no objection to this authority being extended to the peace officer or the superintendent, but I am surprised that this authority should be extended to any person designated by the minister and to be exercised apparently anywhere. As far as the reservation itself is concerned, I have no objection to any officer of the department, we will say, employed upon that reservation doing whatever is necessary upon the reservation in order to
protect the Indians; but when you authorize any person whom the minister may designate to go into any place off that reservation and make a search, then I for one believe we are going too far. I have enough confidence in the peace officer and the superintendent to think that they can do the job without extending that further authority under this act.
Our difficulty is that there may not be a superintendent. Superintendents go on vacation and they are ill. Sometimes they are out of office, retired and may be out some time before another is appointed in their places. This is intended to cover an instance of that kind. I have no desire and no intention of appointing anyone who is not familiar with the work that he is bound to do. It is only to cover the cases where you have not a person designated under the section but who is performing the functions of that person that you can designate another person.
It is a fact that a peace officer is always available. The R.C.M.P. have jurisdiction on the reservation and off. It occurs to me that while the superintendent himself may be away, some person upon the reservation, some authority associated with his department, would probably have the power to carry on in place of the superintendent on this kind of thing in places off the reservation. It occurs to me there will always be an officer of the R.C.M.P. available to conduct that search off the reservation. I for one am not satisfied that the power should be given to a person designated by the minister.
Let me add one word. As my hon. friend knows, the R.C.M.P. are often called to give some evidence in court and the like, and while I admit it is probably making a rather fine point, nevertheless we do believe that there are occasions when all the officers designated here will not be available. It is only in that case that we want to designate some other person, and it would be someone familiar with our work, and presumably a person in our employment, if at all possible, who would be clothed with this rather extraordinary power, which I am sure is not used very often in any event.
Would the minister consider meeting the point by writing in a few words? It seems to me it could be met by adding after the word "minister" in line 18 the words: "when a peace officer or superintendent is not available".
I have no objection to doing that, Mr. Chairman, if my hon. friend realizes the difficulty we are trying to overcome. We are trying to overcome the difficulty of making a seizure of goods being taken
illegally from the reserve. You must have persons available to take that action as quickly as possible. Therefore he is imposing upon me the obligation, or rather upon the department, the necessity of sending a wire to the minister from some remote part advising me that neither of these persons is available, and asking me to designate another person. And presumably after that time we may or may not be able to recover the goods.
I would ordinarily follow this practice, anyway. The superintendent and the R.C.M.P. are clothed with the authority under the section. I would normally make a blanket authority, and in their absence the senior clerk grade III, or whatever it may be, in the reserve, would be able to perform this function under this section in their absence. Then it would be left to him to decide at that time in their absence what he should do. But I do not think there would be time for us to take the action he mentions and get the necessary results.
It would be in their absence, but only in their absence.
I am quite agreeable to that.
Angus MacInnis
Mr. Maclnnis:
What kind of document would the person making the seizure have so that he could be recognized as having been authorized by the minister to act in a case of this kind? In ordinary civilian life he must have a warrant issued by a court. Would he not need something to indicate that he was authorized by the minister, so that there would be no mistake in the matter?
That was just my point. I will sign an authority which will refer to this section saying that Mr. Jones is authorized, in the absence of so and so, to perform the functions of the superintendent, and in particular to be clothed with the authority under this section, and in every other way, and that remains in the custody of the superintendent and is there available at any time when the action needs to be taken. We do that under the Immigration Act. I sign authorities for immigration officers to perform certain functions under the act, and it is an authority which is kept in the local office.
