Un refresco de helado es una  bebida que consiste en una mezcla de helado con un refresco o con una combinación de sirope de sabores y agua carbonatada. En la actualidad hay un día dedicado a este refresco, el «National Ice Cream Soda Day» (traducido al español sería «Día nacional del refresco de helado»), que tiene lugar el veinte de junio.

Orígenes

El refresco de helado fue un invento de Robert McCay Green en Filadelfia en 1874, en la celebración del cincuentenario del Franklin Institute, una organización que vela por el desarrollo y la transmisión de la ciencia y la tecnología. El invento surgió en un día especialmente caluroso en el que el señor Green se quedó sin sirope para los refrescos de sabores variados que vendía y utilizó helado de vainilla que le ofreció un vecino. Según recoge la revista Soda Fountain en un número del año 1910, Green quiso crear un nuevo modo de atraer los clientes de otro vendedor que tenía un dispensador de bebidas más grande y más sofisticado. Tras experimentar con otros ingredientes, decidió combinar helado con gaseosa y vendió la nueva bebida entre otras 16 de distintos sabores. La nueva delicia causó furor y al poco tiempo otras máquinas dispensadoras de refrescos vendían refresco de helado.

A pesar de sus orígenes, la bebida no tardó en alcanzar una gran popularidad hasta el punto que beberla era casi una obligación social entre los adolescentes, aunque a muchos adultos no les gustase. Algunos gobiernos locales la prohibieron, bien fuese de forma definitiva, bien fuese en días festivos, aspecto que dio lugar a otra delicia que la substituyó, el helado sundae sin gas. Como los refrescos se vendían como curas milagrosas, en ocasiones se consideraba que era una sustancia que precisaba un cierto control como sucedía con el alcohol, otra bebida controlada que no se podía ni servir ni comprar un domingo en las zonas más conservadoras. Muchos dispensadores de refrescos tuvieron que desarrollar un modo de sacar provecho cuando vender refrescos se consideraba ilegal. La solución fue vender helado puesto que se trata de un simple alimento y no una sustancia controlada. Fue entonces cuando estos dispensadores acuñaron el término «sundaes» para los mejunjes de helado que servían los días de «descanso de refresco».

Hay al menos otras tres personas que reclaman la autoría de la invención del refresco de helado: Fred Sanders, Philip Mohr y George Guy, uno de los empleados del propio Robert Green. El testamento de Green ordenaba que se grabase en su lápida «Originator of the Ice Cream Soda» (que traducido al español sería «Inventor del refresco de helado»).

Otros nombres

En Estados Unidos, un refresco de helado es la bebida hecha con gaseosa, sirope y helado mientras que un «float» es, por lo general, un helado vertido en un refresco (en la mayoría de casos, cerveza de raíz).

En Australia y Nueva Zelanda se llama «spider» al refresco de helado hecho con Coca-Cola o Pepsi. Existen también otros «spider» cuyos nombres varían en función del refresco empleado, como es el caso del «lime spider» («spider» de lima) y del «orange spider» («spider de naranja»). Existe una bebida similar a esta última hecha con refresco de naranja y helado de vainilla que se llama «orange float» o «orange whip».

En Escocia (principalmente en la costa oeste) y en Irlanda se suele llamar «float» al refresco de helado. En el Reino Unido, el término «coke» se utiliza para referirse a cualquier refresco de cola mientras que el término «soda» suele hacer referencia a la gaseosa. En este último lugar, el refresco de helado recibe el nombre «snowball» (bola de nieve en español).

En México, El Salvador, Guatemala, Costa Rica y Honduras este refresco se llama «vaca negra», mientras que en Puerto Rico recibe el nombre «blackout». Esta misma bebida recibe el nombre «vaca preta» en Brasil y Portugal, lugares en los que también se vende «vaca dourada», que es el mismo refresco pero con refresco de guaraná en lugar de Coca-Cola. En Alecrim, una ciudad del estado de Rio Grande do Sul, Brasil, recibe el nombre «sputnik». Este último nombre también se utiliza en California para referirse a la mezcla de refresco de cerveza de raíz con vodka.

Variantes

Existen tantas variantes del refresco de helado así como de refrescos y sabores de helado. Sin embargo, unas han tenido más popularidad que otras. En esta categoría se puede encontrar información acerca de las más destacables.

Refresco de helado de chocolate

Este refresco de helado contiene dos cucharadas de sirope de chocolate y helado de vainilla todo dispuesto en un vaso largo. Después se añade agua carbonatada hasta el llegar al borde del vaso. Tras dejar que la espuma suba, se añade un toque final con nata montada y una guinda al marrasquino.

Refresco de cerveza de raíz

También conocido como «black cow» ("vaca negra" en español) o "brown cow" ("vaca marrón" en español), el refresco de cerveza de raíz se hace con cerveza de raíz y helado de vainilla, aunque los sabores del helado pueden ser otros. El nombre que recibe varía en función de la localidad: en algunos lugares, el refresco de helado y cerveza contiene necesariamente helado de vainilla y un «brown cow» o «chocolate cow» lleva helado de chocolate. No obstante, en otros lugares, un «black cow» o un «brown cow» llevan Coca-Cola en lugar de cerveza.

El origen del nombre «black cow» siempre ha suscitado interés entre los expertos en gastronomía y bebida y presuntamente data del mes de agosto de 1893 en Colorado.

Boston cooler

Esta variante está hecha con ginger ale y helado de vainilla
. Este término tiene su origen en Detroit, ciudad en la que se atribuye la invención del refresco a Fred Sanders. El nombre es un misterio puesto que no tiene conexión aparente con Boston, ciudad en la que la bebida no tiene una gran popularidad.

Cerveza de mantequilla
El parque de atracciones de Universal Studios y el estudio de grabación convertido en exposición permanente Warner Bros. Studios Leavesden de Londres sirven un brebaje que recibe el nombre «Butterbeer» (traducido por «cerveza de mantequilla» en los libros en español) tal y como la bautizó J. K. Rowling, escritora de la famosa saga Harry Potter. Esta bebida es una versión del refresco de helado hecha con cerveza de raíz y butterscotch. Como la bebida no se vende fuera de esos dos recintos, seguidores de la saga y aficionados a la cocina han creado recetas similares a la oficial para esta bebida y las han distribuido por Internet.

Snow White

Para hacer un Snow White (como el personaje que en español conocemos como Blancanieves) se necesita 7 Up o Sprite y helado de vainilla. Se desconoce el origen de esta variante pero es usual encontrarlo en restaurantes asiáticos.

Purple cow

En el contexto de los refrescos de helados, un «purple cow» (que en español sería algo así como «vaca morada») es un helado de vainilla vertido en refresco de uva morada. En un contexto más general, un «purple cow» puede ser también la mezcla de zumo de uva y helado de vainilla.

Sherbet cooler
Otra de las variaciones conocidas es el sorbete «sherbet cooler», que es una mezcla de sorbete de naranja o sandía, sirope de vainilla y agua carbonatada.

Refresco de helado y cerveza (o Shakin' Jesse)
Los ingredientes de este refresco son cerveza negra, helado de chocolate y expresso. Aunque la versión Shakin' Jesse tenga una apariencia más semejante a la de un batido, muchos restaurantes y bares hacen la versión en refresco. Cuando esta bebida se hace en casa es importante que la cerveza y el expresso estén lo suficientemente fríos como para no derretir el helado.

Recepción en España

El refresco de helado es un invento estadounidense que ha tardado más de un siglo en llegar a Europa. Gracias al gran desarrollo de los medios de comunicación en estos últimos veinte años han llegado productos y recetas de cualquier parte del mundo a España. Aunque el refresco de helado todavía no ha tenido el impacto que tuvo en su día el cupcake, cada vez está llegando a nuevos consumidores y es más frecuente encontrar recetas caseras en español.

A proper range setup, where your entries and exits, can be different for each risk appetite. You could miss the boat, by setting your orders to low, like in the case of the arrow. But the downside of that would be that your stoploss gets to far away from your entry.
Hello guys. I hope you have benefited the BTC in the target. Now that Bitcoin(BTC) has climbed, we have to wait for the crazy alt coins to be profitable. As usual, we have two symmetric triangle patterns. stop loss:0.00000386 good luck.
I have a feeling OST can pump now. Nothing shows it at closer range or at exchange when you see the orders but it will.
Will enter if it breaks out.
OST trying to breakout from 200MA!
OST trying for a 5th time to get above here 200MA with targets set on the chart Thanks guys!
Market is really bearish but it looks nice and stop level is very near.
Possible triangle breakout coming. Price already pumped by 5% but it could be only the beginning. As low volume coin it depend on BTC but so far I am bullish about it so this setup may also workout.

Gray excited after Warrenpoint Town secure signing of 'rising star' Frazer
Community, Sport
Warrenpoint Town have confirmed Jonny Frazer, the Linfield youth academy player has signed.
Manager Barry Gray says Frazer is a 'rising star'
Following a previous announcement that a deal was agreed and that the paperwork was "still being processed" the local club said they are delighted to welcome the "rising star." Taking time out from his trip at Bolton alongside Daniel Hughes, who is on trial at the Trotters, manager Barry Gray confirmed the striker's arrival. "At 19 Jonny has a bright future ahead of him and most importantly has displayed the right attitude to wanting to sign for us and play football with us. "From the reports I have and the knowledge of the lad I believe his is a rising star and we are delighted to have him." The Milltown club have been busy in this transfer window with three other players already signed it is obvious that Gray is building a squad that can compete at the highest level. "We need squad depth to compete in the Premiership and bringing these lads in can only have a positive impact on the whole squad. Its exciting times for us as we prepare to move the team and club forward," added Barry.

Step Up 4: Miami Heat (aka Step Up Revolution) (review)
Thu Aug 09 2012, 09:18pm | 0 comments
I'm biast (pro): the trailer looked like fun with a dollop of social conscience
I'm biast (con): haven't been a fan of this subgenre
If there's one good thing I can say about Step Up Revolution (aka Step Up 4: Miami Heat in the U.K.) — and this applies to most examples of the dance fantasy drama — it's this: not only is the dancing fantastic, but the sexy is unusually positive, in the grand Hollywood scheme of things. Sure, there's lots of sweaty grinding and the like, but it's sweet, unexploitive, doesn't objectify the women any more than it does the men (and then not much anyway), and makes an unspoken yet clearly defined point that sexy, in these cases, isn't only about physical attractiveness but physical strength and an abundance of talent and expressiveness. Women are sexy when they're strong; men are sexy when they're channeling deep emotion. It's a cartoonish sort of sexy, to be sure, but way more cheerful, open, and egalitarian than we usually see onscreen.
That said, the moment the dancing stops, it all stumbles into the howlingly ridiculous. There's this guy in Miami, see, Sean (Ryan Guzman), who heads up an adorably "badass" crew of street dancers who are trying to win a YouTube contest by staging gently disruptive flash mobs across the city, videos of which will hopefully go viral online and rack up a winning view count. These kids today, with their mad skillz yo– well, my appropriation of street culture may be embarrassing, but it approximates how the movie does the same. They can duck security, hack computers, and infiltrate places way too posh for them, such as high-class hotels and museums, mostly down to the high-turnover service jobs they do… which might be an interesting commentary on the plight of These Kids Today had the movie bothered to go in that direction. Instead, it offers us Mr. Anderson (Peter Gallagher: Burlesque, Adam), a hotel developer who wants to bulldoze Sean and the gang's working-class neighborhood, and a scheme to dance-protest him and his new swanky hotel resort away.
Oh, and I haven't even mentioned that Sean has fallen madly in love with dance student Emily (Kathryn McCormick), a romance that expresses itself almost solely through dance. Emily, naturally, is Anderson's daughter. Somewhere, the Montagues and Capulets are having a good laugh. Or maybe a cry, at what they have inspired.
You can probably guess how it all ends, so I hardly need to tell you. It goes beyond simplistic and into actively insulting to otherwise very good notions about the power of nonviolent public protest, and also into the preposterously naive about what Sean and Co. are up against. And then it goes beyond that to redefine "triumph" as "sellout" in a way that appears to actively negate everything the story was aiming at. The combination of wishful thinking and gullibility makes for a particularly unappealing brew that completely overshadows whatever mildly likable aspects had made it endurable up till then.

This is a set of illustrations based on a fictional character from the comic 'New Statesmen', written by John Smith. He's fictional to the power of three: he appears in a work of fiction (i.e. the comic, The New Statesmen) as a character written in an interpolative text ('And He The Mother Of Them All' by the Soft Kore Kollective) and in the universe that he's presented within, he's a legendary, semi-mythical character.
In the text that the reader is given, Mr Soft is a terrible figure, casually bringing about the end of the world as he wanders across it, crook in hand. He explodes a bomb of poisonous gas in the heart of a city while he watches from his hotel room, causes the plane that he's riding to crash, gives handfuls of pills to a suicidal pre-teen, and so on. It's that destructive nature I've tried to capture here, in two portraits and two comics -- the comics lift text from 'New Statesmen' but present it broken and out of sync.
'The New Statesmen' is out of print, but TPB's can be found on Abe Books pretty easily, and Amazon with a bit of poking about.

Sir Mix-A-Lot still kicks those nasty thoughts, even at oddly early BMO show
On a smoking hot Thursday afternoon, out came the rapper in an 808 area code t-shirt (Hawaii, not Seattle), black jeans, red sneakers and his signature brown hat. He mixed it up for 65 minutes to a smallish crowd of Gen Xers and their kids (the little girl wearing the pink "œLook at her butt" tank top was cute).
By Andy Tarnoff Publisher Published Jul 01, 2022 at 12:51 AM Photography: Eron Laber
You'd think there wouldn't be much to say about Sir Mix-A-Lot's 3:30 p.m. set at the BMO Harris Pavilion on Thursday.
Oh my God, Becky, stop looking at those butts for just a second and listen up: there was a lot going on this afternoon. You just had to pay attention to the details.
After 24 years of covering Summerfest for OnMilwaukee, writing reviews isn't always the hardest job. In fact, depending on the band, it can be a little formulaic. But I also like to challenge myself, which is why I reviewed Sir Mix-A-Lot at Summerfest in 2016 – I wrote a serious review of a frequently not very serious rapper, and it was harder than you might think.
So, to do it differently this time was harder. I mean, why was a rapper best-known (and for most, only-known) for the '90s party tune "Baby Got Back" playing in mid afternoon on a Thursday? Last time, he was a primetime act. Today, he was rapping up against kids music and lounge acts at Jo-Jo's Martini Stage.
You could say that Seattle's Anthony Ray is less relevant now than he was in 2016, but other than his home-flipping show on the DIY Network in 2018, he still hasn't put out an album since 2003's "Daddy's Home." Not much has really changed.
No, I think this was just a mismatched scheduling oddity, with Sir Mix-A-Lot filling time until Anthony Hamilton would perform on the same stage at 9:30 p.m.
Nonetheless, on a smoking hot Thursday afternoon, out came the rapper in a TR-808 t-shirt, black jeans, red sneakers and his signature brown hat. He mixed it up for 65 minutes to a smallish crowd of Gen Xers and their kids (the little girl wearing the pink "Look at her butt" tank top was cute). To its credit, the audience grew a bit as the show went on.
Like last time, Mix had a hype man, whose job was to dance around wearing a backpack, a Seattle SuperSonics hat and grab his junk (the fifth "member" of his band, if you will). His nephew was at the DJ booth.
The sound was pretty muddy at first, but Sir A-Lot played the songs that most of the crowd had never heard (but I certainly had) like "My Hooptie," "Posse On Broadway" and "Put 'em on the Glass." He displayed his fast rapping skills on "Testarossa," a song about bad decisions when he hit it big. His mic-less hype man borrowed fans' cell phones and shot video up close and personal. It was cool, except for the poor fans who were literally throwing their phones on stage. I hope they had a case; my friend Sean nailed the hype man in the junk. Oops.
When Ray played "Louder," the crowd did indeed get louder. He told a story about coming to Milwaukee in the '80s in the winter, making up a tale about his hooptie. Whether that's true or not, it led to "My Hooptie" – I'm doubting that Brew City was the genesis of that song, but I can't confirm it.
Unfortunately, to my eyes, I was the only one singing along, except for a photographer in the pit and a handful of die-hards. Fans did, of course, know his cover of "Smells Like Teen Spirit."
"This is a hard song to play in front of children," he said leading up to "Put Em On The Glass," which was nowhere near as popular as the big one …
"Baby Got Back" was what this crowd waited for. Before he started, a teenager with braces in a double cap and homemade Gruber tank top in front of me yelled to his friend, "That's the only song I know!" as he vaped and turned around to me and asked, "How are you doing, sir?"
Then he fist bumped me, and begged my cellphone-throwing friend Sean to buy him booze (he said no). Realizing he thought I was a narc, I focused in on the song, and like last time, he turned it into a weird, extended remix.
A post shared by Andy Tarnoff (@andytarnoff)
Make no mistake: Sir Mix-A-Lot might seem like a novelty, but he's a talented rapper, and it still shows.
Kudos to Ray for not mailing it in at a show like this. He had plenty of banter, spinning similar stories to 2016, and swapping "Milwaukee" into the lyrics of "My Posse's On Broadway." The set list mirrored his previous festival shows, but again, who blames him – it was 3:30 pm.
Really, who can argue with "What's up, Milwaukee" to the tune of "Jam On It?"
It was a bit of a tough crowd, but on a hot day, A-Lot made it hotter. If only the sun had set before the party started.
Never mind. Sir Mix-A-Lot is a professional. Said Ray, before gently dropping the mic: "Mix-a-Lot out."
Summerfest, Sir Mix-A-lot, rap

Q: How to automatically change the nickname of your discord bot. (Javascript)(Discord.js) I want to set my discord bot's nickname every minute to change to some content from my API.
I read that you can only set nicknames on guild members but you need message.guildmembers for that. I don't want to send a message to be able to change the nickname, it has to happen automatically every minute.
I've been looking for solutions but can't find any.

A: If you know the server ID, you can fetch the guild when the bot is ready and add a setInterval to change the bot's nickname:
client.on('ready', async () => {
  const GUILD_ID = '531138151659370517';
  const guild = await client.guilds.fetch(GUILD_ID);
  let i = 0;

  console.log('Bot is connected...');

  setInterval(() => {
    guild.me.setNickname(i++);
  }, 60 * 1000);

  // if you also want to set the nickname right after the bot is ready...
  guild.me.setNickname(i++);
});

"I don't feel like it, I just want you to hold me."
I said, "WHAT????!!! What was that?!"
So she says the words that every husband on the planet dreads to hear: "You're just not in touch with my emotional needs as a woman, enough for me to satisfy your physical needs as a man."
The very next day I took the day off of work to spend time with her. We went out to a nice lunch and then went shopping at a big, big department store.
I walked around with her while she tried on several different very expensive outfits. She couldn't decide which one to take so I told her we'd just buy them all.
She wanted new shoes to complement her new clothes, so I said let's get a pair for each outfit. We then went on to the jewelry department where she picked out a pair of diamond earrings.
Let me tell you---she was so excited!!
She must have thought that my elevator was no longer stopping on all the floors. I started to think she was testing me because she asked for a tennis bracelet when she doesn't even know how to play tennis.
"No honey, I just don't feel like it."
I then said, "Really honey! I just want you to HOLD this stuff for a while.
You're just not in touch with my financial needs as a man, enough for me to satisfy your shopping needs as a woman."
And just when she had this look like she was going to kill me, I added, "Why can't you just love me for who I am, and not for the things I buy you?"


Journal of Housing Economics 24 (June 2014): 4-20.
The impact of borrowing constraints on homeownership has been well established in the literature. Wealth is most likely to restrict homeownership followed by credit and income. Using recent movers from the 1979 National Longitudinal Survey of Youth and borrowing constraint definitions commonly used in the literature, we examine the impact of these constraints on the probability of homeownership during the housing market boom between 2003 and 2007. We show that whereas the pool of financially constrained households expanded, the marginal impact of borrowing constraints associated with income and credit quality declined during this period. The constraint associated with wealth, however, continued to have a negative impact on homeownership status, all else equal. The fact that lending standards became less strict is accepted; however the impact of this on homeownership has not been previously studied. Here we find that less restrictive underwriting does appear to have reduced the impact of income and credit quality on homeownership but the impact of the wealth constraint persists.

Journal of Housing Economics 41 (September 2018): 106-123.
This paper examines how various demographic and economic factors impact household formation both within and across cohorts. The results show substantial differences in the share of young adults living with their parents over time. Differences in demographics, housing costs, and business-cycle conditions can explain as much as 70 percent of the difference in household-formation rates across cohorts, a result driven in large part by increased sensitivity of young adults' household-formation decisions to economic conditions. Changes in parenting styles and shifting social norms likely also play roles.

Does FHA Increase Home Ownership or Just Accelerate It?
Journal of Housing Economics 6,2 (June 1997): 184-202.
Qualification standards in the main home mortgage insurance program administered by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) are less stringent than the standards set by conventional lenders. However, households that qualify only for FHA financing of a modestly priced home in a given year are a narrow financial stratum of the population. The paper uses data from two longitudinal surveys (PSID NLSY) to document that membership in that stratum changes frequently. Most of the "FHA only" qualifiers graduate to conventional qualification within a few years. The study also shows that most renters wait years to purchase once they have first qualified. The paper concludes that, to the extent that FHA has any influence on home ownership, it is mostly to accelerate home purchase, not to enable it among households that otherwise would never be able to buy.

EUROPEANMOBILITYWEEK 2017: Making shared mobility clean and intelligent
Friday, September 15, 2017 — Today the European Commission launches the 16th EUROPEANMOBILITYWEEK, a flagship campaign for Mobility and Transport, taking place from 16 to 22 September 2017. More than 2000 towns from Europe and beyond have organised events to encourage residents to try out alternatives to traditional means of transport, generally culminating in a Car-Free Day. This is in line with the theme of this year campaign: 'Clean, shared and intelligent mobility' and its call-to-action 'Sharing gets you further'. At the same time, the Commission is launching a call for applications for this year's award for sustainable urban mobility planning (SUMP Award). This year's award focuses on shared mobility to promote intelligent and clean transport, the same theme as EUROPEANMOBILITYWEEK.
Commissioner for Transport Violeta Bulc said:
"Shared mobility is a smart and innovative emerging model of transportation, with the potential to reduce the number of vehicles on the roads: for example, for each shared car, 15 private cars are off the road. But it's not only about cars; we are witnessing a real spurt of shared bike systems in cities and towns across the EU. We need to ensure that the future of urban mobility is both shared and sustainable."
This year's EUROPEANMOBILITYWEEK encourages people to use shared forms of transportation such as bicycle and car sharing. Europe is the leader in shared mobility solutions and the value of transactions in shared mobility in Europe was estimated at EUR 5.1 billion[1] in 2015. It is expected to exceed EUR 100 billion in 2025. Sharing transportation not only helps people save money, but also support the EU's goals of achieving a low-emission economy.
Every year, local authorities making significant efforts to promote sustainable urban mobility during the campaign, can apply for the EUROPEANMOBILITYWEEK Award until 23 October 2017. Local authorities can also apply for the Award for Sustainable Urban Mobility Planning (SUMP Award) until 3 November 2017. SUMP rewards the development of a mobility plan addressing the diverse transport needs of people and businesses.
[1] PwC, 2016.
EUROPEANMOBILITYWEEK focuses on a different aspect of sustainable urban mobility each year. The idea of shared mobility, this year's focus, is quickly spreading in urban centres through the introduction of bicycle sharing, fixed or free-floating car sharing, or even park-sharing solutions. To name but a few: researchers at University College London developed a Bike Share Map covering more than 600 cities, while Vélib' in Paris offers some 20,000 bicycles at 1,800 stations. Cities that already had a bike share scheme are now introducing electrically-assisted bicycles (e-bikes) either as a complement to traditional bikes, or as a brand new service. For example, Brussels will soon have its first 150 public e-bikes in operation. Several cities go beyond traditional car sharing by proposing electric car-sharing schemes such as Liselec in La Rochelle or free-floating systems such as in Amsterdam, Berlin, Madrid, Rome and Vienna. The popularity of smart mobility solutions has increased with the introduction of electric-automated shuttles, such as the 2getthere – operated shuttle in the city of Capelle aan den Ijssel close to Rotterdam. Smart technologies strongly contribute to shared mobility: Métropole de Lyon launched a digital tool ONLYMOOV that shows users the quickest itinerary for their journey together with information on the availability of bicycles and car-sharing options, cycle paths and car and bicycle parking possibilities.
To learn more about how the European Commission supports towns and cities and promotes sustainable urban mobility take a look at the European Strategy for Low-Emission Mobility adopted by the Commission on 20 July 2016, the urban mobility package and the additional information on Commission support:

An Interview with David Hobson
On October 31 the Bravo! Cruise of the Performing Arts 2017 cruise ship sets sail for the shores of Noumea and Isle of Pines. Performing on the seven night cruise is three tenor José Carreras, Marina Prior, Silvie Paladino and many more. I spoke with tenor, composer and performer, David Hobson about what people can expect from this exciting cruise.
On October 31st you set sail on Bravo! Cruise of the Performing Arts 2017 cruise ship. What can you tell me about it?
It's on this huge ship called the Radiance of the Seas – I think it's the third time it's been done – and it's literally like a festival of music on the sea. It's pretty amazing! If you'd asked me to do it 10 years ago, I would have said you were crazy, because it sounds like a really daggy event, but you've got this 1000-seat theatre with a full orchestra on board, where each night there's either a fantastic opera or music theatre concert. I was gob smacked when we did it because my impression of cruising was like The Love Boat, back in the 70s, but it's not like that at all!
It's extraordinary getting all these amazing artists together who do their own show and then work together with each other around the ship. You've got José Carreras this year, all these Opera Australia people and the Tawadros brothers, who are fantastic instrumentalists.
What is the thing you enjoy most about performing on a cruise like Bravo!?
For me personally, the best thing is being with fantastic, fellow artists who you get to spend time with. You might fly-in and fly-out to do a concert every now with some of these people, but [on the cruise you] get to spend a few days together and have fun. It's like a working party. We come up with great, little, wacky, artistic ideas and do duets and trios. For the passengers it's pretty special as well because they don't know where we're going to end up doing something off-the-cuff matter.
The extraordinary thing is for the passengers, is they're doing this lovely Pacific cruise and during the day, there's string quartets playing or there might be a band playing somewhere else or someone singing solo all around the ship. There's entertainment happening all the time! In the evening there's a fantastic show in this brilliant theatre as well. [It's an] absolutely brilliant concept! We have a ball.
You have such an extensive career in musical theatre, recording and television. What kind of music will you be singing on the cruise?
I do a mixture. I'm going to a combination a little bit of opera, a little bit of music theatre and maybe a little bit of Celtic. Silvie Paladino and I are going to do a show together – a combination of duets, solos and what have you. We'll do a bit of music theatre, because although Silvie does have an operatic bent as well in her voice, she's Italian for God's sake! Then Marina Prior and I are gonna do a few things together as well. And who knows, I might do other stuff with other people.
Television journalist Ray Martin is also a featured guest. He isn't known for his singing voice, so what will he be bringing to the cruise?
We'll have a conversation in the theatre where Ray will have either one-on-one or a group of four-or-five of us on stage and have an interview with him. He'll talk over the week. Last year we had Richard Fidler who does Conversations on ABC; Ray is the guy this year doing that! Ray is almost like M.C. or moderator in conversation – which is an added bonus for the passengers. And then we have Jonathon Welch, who does Choir of Hard Knocks, so passengers form a choir and they perform on one of the evenings as well.
You got your start in musical theatre. Your first being Oliver! playing the Artful Dodger, alongside your father as Fagin. Is there different preparation before going on stage when you're playing a character singing a song compared to on somewhere like the cruise where you may just be singing that same song from that musicals but as yourself?
Doing your own show, it's like you get rid of, you know, there's makeup, there's a character, there's no sets, there's no costume so you literally got to show yourself or reveal yourself, which is a little bit more dangerous. I think a little bit more vulnerable. So yes, preparation, it's a little different because when you're doing a character, there's all the background, learning the lines, work with other people in terms of relationships on stage. It's completely different and both require a different set of skills.
Being yourself is harder sometimes but can be more rewarding with the audience because they get to see a side of the artist they don't normally see. When it's just you, because I do a lot of solo concerts, you're up there on your own. I really enjoy that but that sense of vulnerability can be kind of draining. As a punter I really like it when I see an artist in that situation so that aspect I really like. I enjoy doing that a lot. I like doing shows. For instance, Marina and I doing our shows, even though there is still two of us, it's still us being us. You get to do your own music and you get to choose what you want to do as opposed to what another producer or a composer wants. But on the other hand, I like doing characters as well.
Do you have a favourite modern day musical?
That's really hard. I mean My Fair Lady is pretty good. I do like the old Rodgers and Hammerstein type-shows because of the classical nature of the singing. Sweeney Todd is amazing. I love Oliver!
What do you listen to in your car?
Probably a bit more ABC FM if anything, a bit of talk radio, radio national. Or I'll have my own music artists I like, it could be Coldplay, it could be the Beatles. I sound like an old guy now (laughs).
I mentioned before what an extensive career you have had. Do you have a personal highlight?
I don't think I have a standout highlight, no. Nothing is springing to mind at the moment because I've been lucky enough to keep doing lovely things all along the way. I know it's a question that I should have an answer for because I've been asked before. I love football so maybe singing at the AFL Grand Final. Maybe combining footy and music together is a highlight (laughs).
Are you working on anything else coming up?
Marina and I are doing a tour and I'm doing something for Opera Queensland, like little bits and bobs as they say and doing a new CD too. I'm just working on it and just started throwing myself into the idea of formulating it now. I haven't done a CD for about a year.

Mnangagwa was presented with a Dynamos replica jersey at State House during the visit by the Harare giants leadership
ED Meets Dynamos Leadership
12th March 2021 Football, News Headlines
By Sports Reporter
PRESIDENT Emmerson Mnangagwa hosted the leadership of Premier Soccer League giants, Dynamos at State House in Harare, Friday in a move which has ignited fresh hopes that the country's most popular sport could be given the green light to resume by the government.
The meeting with the Dynamos officials came after Mnangagwa hosted Bulawayo soccer giants, Highlanders FC at the Bulawayo State House and promised to assist the club with their gold mining venture.
Presidential spokesperson George Charamba confirmed the latest meeting which he said was part of Mnangagwa's support to the most followed sport.
However, no local games have been played since November 2019 due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
While other sporting codes have been allowed to resume, football has remained in the doldrums, with the frosty relationship between the Zimbabwe Football Association (ZIFA) and the Sports and Recreation Commission (SRC) hampering any hopes of a swift return.
Charamba said the Dynamos leaders, who have been pushing for the government to allow the domestic league to resume, appraised Mnangagwa on the challenges they are facing.
"This morning, President Mnangagwa met the executive of Dynamos Football Club as part of his support for the national sport which has been frozen by Covid-19 pandemic," Charamba said.
"This inactivity has created financial challenges for most clubs in the country, motivating the President to take a keen interest in their fate and how it can be improved. Football remains the leading sport in the country."
Mnangagwa was also presented with a Dynamos shirt with his initials at the back.
"The club gave the President its iconic jersey bearing his initials. A few weeks back, (he) met with the hierarchy of the Highlanders Football Club to listen to challenges they face in the wake of Covid-19 pandemic which has stymied contact sporting activities worldwide."
Some of the Dynamos officials who were part of the visit include former Information Minister of Information Webster Shamu, who is the club's patron and the club's secretary general Webster Marechera.

Q: Getting "Invalid exit definition" on Compilation of Sails Helper (Sails v1.0) I'm getting the error
Invalid exit definition ("success").  Must be a dictionary-- i.e. plain JavaScript object like `{}`.
Invalid exit definition ("error").  Must be a dictionary-- i.e. plain JavaScript object like `{}`.

when doing sails lift. The error is on getRole.js
module.exports = {

  friendlyName: 'Get Role',

  description: '',

  inputs: {
    user_id: {
      friendlyName: 'User Id',
      description: 'The ID of the user to check role',

      if (err) return exits.err(err);
      return exits.success(user.role);
    });
  }
};

This is a new error, and looking at my git, nothing has changed in my code since it successfully compiled. I understand the Sails version (v1.0) I'm using in beta, so I'm taking that into account.

A: Exits cannot be defined as functions. There is a special syntax (Machine Spec) to define exits. In your example this should work:
exits: {
    error: {
        description: 'Unexpected error occurred.',
    },

    success: {
        description: 'Role was succesffuly fetched'
    }
},

You can read more info about helper exits here: https://next.sailsjs.com/documentation/concepts/helpers

A: May changes occur on the last release 1.0.0-38. I've not checked underneath yet, but the way to execute helpers changed: on .exec() I get errors. Now, use .switch();

El hipódromo de Krieau (en alemán: Trabrennbahn Krieau) es una pista de carreras de caballos en el barrio de Leopoldstadt, en Viena, Austria. Fue inaugurado en 1878. La vieja tribuna y una torre para los funcionarios se terminaron en 1913. El hipódromo de Krieau es la segunda más antigua pista de carreras con arnés en Europa después del hipódromo central de Moscú construido en 1834. Los principales eventos de carreras anuales son el Österreichisches Traber-Derby establecido en 1886 y el conmemorativo Graf Kalman Hunyady, celebrado desde 1901. Krieau también se utiliza como espacio de conciertos.

100% Real Healthy Human Hair ~ Only The Best And Highest Quality.
1~ Section your hair horizontally.
2~ Portion your hair where you wish to apply your tape-in extensions. This portion should be a thin layer of your natural hair.
3~ Remove the back side of the tape – exposing the adhesive. Line up your extensions about 1/4″ below your scalp.
4~ Prepare another tape-in extension and attach it on the top of the first layer of extensions.
NOTE: the two adhesive sides should be facing each other.
5~ Firmly press the two skin weft extensions to each other. It is better to use a tool, such as a small pliers.
6~ When applying your tape-in extensions, make sure the layers are approximately 2 – 3cm apart from each other.
7~ You are finished. You now have seamless, flawless longer, fuller and glamorous hair.
~ Before installations make sure your hair is clean and tangle free.

~ They are extremely flat, flexible and durable and conform perfectly to the clients head, allowing for the highest comfort and natural fall of the hair for the most essential looking style. They can be applied very gently and without any additional tools in very little time.
~ Application is quick, takes less than half an hour to finish a full head of extensions.
~ Hair is reusable up to 4 times. This is why this method has been dominating all extensions and has become so popular.
** Double-tape system can last much longer than any other tape-in system because of the waterproof tape and special application process.
~ Hair may be used for 6 to 12 months or more with proper care and maintenance; although, this depends on the amount of heat and styling products you use.
Every 50 grams of our tape-in extensions has 16 pieces, and every piece weighs 3 grams. The 3 grams reflect how much hair there is in every strand of RJ Tape-in extensions. This amount is almost double when comparing with any other brand you have ever used. This will allow for you to use less quantity of extensions and achieve a better overall thickness. This also lets you keep 85% to 90% of your hair free of extensions; therefore, your hair will maintain its healthy and safe quality while using semi-permanent extensions over years.
Having fewer extensions in your hair will be easy to cover them up with your hair when you do a high ponytail or an up style.
~ Our Tape-ins come with the highest quality tape ~ made in the USA ~ be sure to buy a Roll Tape to use on your hair extensions when it's the time for your next re-installation and maintenance.
~ If your hair has many colors with a large contrast, we recommend that you buy more than one color and mix them during the installation. In addition, you may also use our pre mixed and highlighted color collection.
~ It is very important to use our special RJ Hair Extensions brush to protect your hair extensions and to avoid adding any pressure on your roots. We recommend buying one of our RJ specially designed hair extensions brushes.
~ To maintain your RJ hair extensions in the best possible condition, it is important that you follow advice and procedures below.
~ Taking the time to care for your extensions will increase the duration of time you may wear the extensions. This will also protect your own hair.
~ It is beneficial to follow the correct advice and care for your lovely long hair.
~ Sort through your RJ hair with your fingers from the roots to the ends on a daily basis.
~ Carefully brush your hair every day with our RJ Brush. Always hold on to the roots of your own hair while brushing. Avoid pulling on the hair extensions.
~ Brush your hair either while you are taking a shower, when your hair has conditioner or a mask on it, after using a moisturizing Leave in spray and after drying your hair completely. It is not recommended to comb through the hair until your hair is 90111ry. Be gentle and avoid pulling on the roots.
~ Do not back comb or pull on hair roots when brushing.
~ Since your RJ hair is not connected to your scalp, it does not receive the natural conditioning nutrients as your own hair. Using hair care products regularly will specifically address the absence of natural conditioners and are formulated to meet the conditioning needs of human hair creations. If used regularly, your RJ hair will keep its optimal shine, elasticity and depth of color. Your stylist will inform you about the right combination of products for your hair type.
~ AVOID products that contain ALCOHOL like dry shampoo as it may cause tapes to peel and keratin to melt.
~ Before shampooing, brush the strands well with our RJ brush.
~ Then rinse the hair and shampoo starting from the roots to the ends.
~ Do not rub or scratch.
~ Finally, rinse the hair thoroughly from top to bottom.
~ After washing, sort through the hair and bonding points with your fingers.
~Long hair needs extra care for its length and ends. Improper hair care can lead to dry hair and split ends. Using high quality conditions, masks, moisturizing Leave in spray on regular basis will helps to prevent split ends.
A – Using Conditioners and treatments after shampooing will provide the hair with valuable care nutrients, smooth the hair surface and ensure maximum elasticity and resilience.
~ Apply the Care treatment and distribute evenly and gently from top to bottom.
~ Leave on for about 5 minutes – extend the Leave in time up to 20 minutes as needed.
B – Using a moisturizing Leave in spray will neutralize the PH-level of the water that remains in the hair from washing. It allows the cuticle layer of your hair to close up, leaving your hair with a radiant and silky shine. Hair will feel stronger and healthier.
~ After the last rinse, shake well, spray evenly over towel-dried hair and immediately comb or brush through.
~ After washing, carefully towel dry hair without rubbing.
~ Blow-dry the bonded areas first and then the hair.
~ CAUTION: Extreme heat can damage and dry out your RJ hair.
~ Always use a heat protecting spray for protection from mid length to ends only, especially when using hot tools such as a curling or flat iron, to keep extensions soft and smooth. Please ensure that excess heat is kept away from the sealed/bonded areas.
~ When blow drying your hair extensions with the brush, please make sure that the hair length and ends are dried properly.
~ Do not blow intense heat directly onto the bonded points as they may loosen and slip.
~ Chemical processes such as coloring, highlighting or perming can change the structure and surface of your hair, thus damaging it. A certified hairdresser and/or salon hair extension expert must only do such processes.
~ Do not bleach or harshly dye extensions.
~ Always tie your hair together in a low ponytail or put it in a braid before you go to sleep or exercise in order to prevent your RJ Hair from matting and tangling.
~ Do not sleep with wet hair.
~ Swimming can cause stickiness. Always protect your RJ Hair from salt water and pool water by applying a leave in conditioner or mask before swimming. Tie your hair in a low ponytail or put it in a braid. Use a swimming cap if you can.
~ After swimming, open your hair, carefully sort through it with your fingers and dry the bonded points with a towel.

February 23: Wear Pink and Take a Stand Against Bullying
by Town of High River
February 23 marks Pink Shirt Day, an annual campaign that encourages Albertans to be inclusive, welcoming, and supportive with colleagues, clients, friends, and family.
Staff in Town facilities will be wearing pink to symbolize that bullying is not acceptable. Residents are also encouraged to wear pink to help express town-wide support for the campaign.
The campaign started in 2007 when a student in Nova Scotia was bullied for wearing a pink shirt to school. It has since been recognized annually worldwide as a day to take a stand against bullying.
Building healthy relationships is one of the best ways to prevent bullying and create safe environments. Getting involved is easy. Wear a pink shirt, take a photo and share it on social media with the #PinkShirtDay and #BeKindAB hashtags. More support options are available on the Pink Shirt Day campaign website.

Q: Fixed position navigation bar not working I'm using an parallax jquery plugin
What parallax.js will do is create a fixed-position element for each parallax image at the start of the document's body. This mirror element will sit behind the other elements and match the position and dimensions of it's target object.
I've added this markup for the navigation:

and this CSS :
.nav-inner {
  position:fixed;
  top:0;
  left:0;
  z-index:500;
 }

The problem is that when I scroll down the navigation doesn't stay fixed on top of the page as I expected.
Here is a jsbin to see it what happens.
Any suggestions on how can I make that navigation bar to stay fixed ?

A: Just set z-index:0 for all your parallax-mirror elements
.parallax-mirror {z-index:0 !important;}

Or change the attribute directly in elements style attribute because it has z-index:-100

A: I usually make my fixed navigation bars differently. Here is my code. It works for me:
CSS:
#navBar
{
    position:fixed;
    top:0;
    left:0;
    right:0;
    color:#000;
    background-color:#fff;
    padding-left:2em;
    opacity:.9;
    z-index:100;
}

#navBar > a (however you reference your child elements)
{
margin:-4px;
}

HTML:

anywhereanywhere

If this doesn't work let me know and I'll take a look at my answer.

A: Since you already use jQuery you can find jQuery plugin like here: http://www.jqueryrain.com/demo/jquery-fixed-header/
