}}That's the Spirit () — пятый студийный альбом британской рок-группы Bring Me the Horizon, выпущенный 11 сентября 2015 года, отмечает отход от металкор звучания группы в сторону альтернативного рока.

Альбом принёс самый большой успех группе на сегодняшний день; альбом дебютировал на первом месте в чартах Австралии и Канады, и на втором месте — в Великобритании (UK Albums Chart) и в США (Billboard 200)«BRING ME THE HORIZON's 'That's The Spirit' Lands At No. 2 On The Billboard 200 Chart» . Blabbermouth. 1 April 2017.. Альбом получил всеобщее признание от музыкальных критиков.

 Об альбоме
Группа начала делать тизер альбома в конце июня, когда группа начала рекламировать изображения символа зонтика, всё в форме татуировок, наклеек и плакатов, размещённых вокруг Англии, которые позже будут показаны в качестве рекламного символа для первого сингла альбомаZadrozny, Anya. [loudwire.com/bring-me-the-horizon-happy-song-oli-sykes-gets-married/ «Bring Me the Horizon Unleash 'Happy Song,' Frontman Oli Sykes Gets Married»]. Loudwire. Retrieved 23 July 2015.. Позднее группа выпустила короткое видео в начале июля, где слова «That's the Spirit» говорили в обратном порядке. 13 июля группа объявила, что покинула свой предыдущий лейбл Epitaph Records и полностью подписала контракт с дочерними компаниями Sony Music, RCA и Columbia.

В интервью NME вокалист Оливер Сайкс подтвердил название альбома That's the Spirit, а также упомянул несколько названий песен, таких как «True Friends», «Avalanche», «Throne» и «Blasphemy».

Клавишник Джордан Фиш совместно с Оливером Сайксом сыграли роль продюсеров, посчитав, что посторонний продюсер им не нужен. Группа также наняла личного тренера по фитнесу во время записи альбомаCarter, Emily.

В интервью NME Оливер сказал, что альбом представляет собой свободный концептуальный альбом о более тёмных тонах жизни, таких как депрессия и способ осветить его. Он привёл такие альтернативные рок-группы, как Jane's Addiction, Panic! at the Disco, Interpol и Radiohead в качестве вдохновения в написании альбома. Джон Видерхорн из Rolling Stone заявил, что альбом отмечает изменение для Bring Me the Horizon от звука, «бесспорно укорененного в металле», до «звука, полного динамики прилива и отлива, вдохновленного инди-роком, альтернативной музыкой и поп-музыкой» в «эволюцию от искусного металкора до кинематографического поп-рока» и что это больше похоже на Muse и Linkin Park, чем на Metallica и Lamb of God. Точно так же Дэниел Фурнари из Blunt Magazine предположил, что «That's the Spirit показывает, что Bring Me the Horizon продвигаются всё дальше, чем когда-либо, с коллекцией стандартных альт-рок-гимнов стадиона, более подходящих для Гластонбери, чем Warped Tour… Возможно, в первый раз, Bring Me the Horizon выпустили запись без каких-либо возвратов в дни Suicide Season из-за возмутительных звонов моша и оскорбительного безумного риффа».

Loudwire. Retrieved 23 July 2015.. Джордан Фиш объясняет, что «Throne» отражает текущее состояние ума группы как в музыкальном, так и в эмоциональном плане, и говорит, что это была одна из самых прямых песен, которую они записали, но почувствовала, что это был очевидный выбор для одного из-за его Немедленного броска и уровня энергии.«True Friends» был выпущен в виде сингла 22 августа одновременно с видеоклипом с сопровождающимся текстом песни«Listen to Bring Me The Horizon's new song, "True Friends"» .

 Критика
После выхода альбом получил преимущественно положительные отзывы критиков. Даниэль Фурнари, рецензент журнала Blunt Magazine, оценил новый вокал Оливера в That's the Spirit'', отметив, что при прослушивании создаётся впечатление многолетнего опыта за плечами Оливера в таком жанре. Энди Биддульф из Rock Sound сказал, что альбом звучит бесподобно и что им удалось создать необыкновенную и редкую в своём роде атмосферную музыку, используя синтезатор и прочие инструменты, сравнивая их с группами на манер Linkin Park.

Locus Chen: In Today's Art, does a Visual Style Reflect a Particular Place?
Locus Chen is originally from China but went to school at Pratt Institute in Brooklyn. She is very young--only 24 years old and has been living in America for six years. So, it is fair to say that her most formative years have been here in New York City, even should this period not yet be complete. A printmaker by training, Chen regularly works within abstraction, often printing with wood blocks on Japanese paper, sometimes with Japanese calligraphy already written on it. Her predisposition is for a light-colored palette, often but not always abstract, and perhaps indicative of her training in China before she came to the United States. Her art is attractively subtle, but also notable for her refusal to submit to a Western vision--although that seems to be changing slightly. Chen's radical change of geography, coupled with a Western education, brings up an interesting question: Just to what extent does a move from one culture to a very different other culture result in an art reflecting such change? This is hard to determine, but, given the extraordinary range of travel and relocation by artists everywhere, it is a fair question to ask.
Traditionally, good art has often been associated with a period of time located in a particular place. In Renaissance art, we admire the work coming from Venice and Florence, and in modernism, Paris first comes to mind. Chen's art is an inheritance of the very great tradition of Chinese art--even if the high points of such art occurred more than a thousand years ago in the Tang and Song dynasties. Nevertheless, the subtleties of Chinese painting are part of her background, indelibly so. Chen's move, though, to New York was a decisive change, a choice to participate in the city's famous internationalism. This probably means that her decision would result in a change of style, and, indeed, her work looks more and more like it is participating in a worldwide postmodernism, albeit one evidencing an Asian outlook. In some ways, the move could have been dangerous--much contemporary art from all over the world has a generic appearance, in which geographical allusion is so vague as to be nonexistent.
At the same time, the visual experience of one's early life dies hard, and often is available in work that reaches into the artist's maturity. How do we define this ongoing effect? It is almost impossible to say, in accurate detail, what makes Chinese art Chinese, although broader attributes, such as the choice of ink as a material, the virtuoso handling of the brush, and an emphasis on nature, do stand out. Yet Chen's prints are notably abstract, a way of working that originated in France in the first third of the 20th century. She cannot escape the Occidental art historical implications suggested in her work. But even if Chen's choice of abstraction frees her from the constraints of her own historical culture, her art also acknowledges its Chinese origins, even if she no longer knows China well. One might even wonder if her continuing Asian influences represent a resistance toward being engulfed by Western art practice. Chen's art remains, very much, a personal statement, even as she moves into places distant from her beginnings.
"Voyage (Red)" (2017) must reference Chen's move to America. A woodblock print, it shows a figure just outside the left post of an open entrance framed by three lengths of wood. From the central post a small square of decorated cloth is hanging. Above, fringe descends from the roof, ending just above the lintel. In the center, the ground is mostly white space, littered with a few objects difficult to recognize. It looks like Chen is leaving her Chinese home here; the single color in the print, a soft, pale red, is held in the highest regard in Chinese culture. In a later, similarly colored print, "Voyage II" (2018), Chen presents the same soft red, with a post, perhaps a tree trunk--leaves group on either side of the vertical--rising upward on the left third of the composition. To the right are two abruptly curving masses, represented in white--could they symbolize the land Chen is leaving? It is hard to say whether they are continents or abstractions. The point is that, for Chen, the two prints indicate a leave-taking, one which landed her, likely permanently, in a foreign place.
In "Deconstructed Voyage" (2019), Chen has printed on vintage Japanese paper, creating three rows of four individual sheets. The papers have rough edges, likely the result of the actions of bookworms, and have Japanese calligraphy written on them. The artist's signature red is found in all the sheets to one degree or another, sometimes covering the calligraphy, which occupies different sections of the pages in different measures. But Chen cannot read the Japanese calligraphy, not even the stylized Chinese characters that are part of the Japanese language. So, the printed text is as foreign to Chen as it is to us. This means that the artist is implying, abstractly, the isolation of the immigrant's position. In "Response" (2020), the Japanese calligraphy occupies the first third of the page, with a couple of scattered, straight black lines on top of them. One group of characters is blocked in a deeper red than usual, while the lower two-thirds of the page offers the red we know well in Chen's art, embellished by small blotches.
Reminiscences of "Paperworms" (2021), the most resolutely contemporary work of Chen's I have seen, is a single sheet of bright orange-red paper, with an angled top, rough edges, and jagged white lines on its sides. All three details may well have resulted from the paper worms consuming the material. At the same time, though, this work could easily be regarded as a monochromatic work of art--a well-regarded genre in New York since the 1960s and '70s. The title places the image squarely in Chen's use of books for her art, while the image itself gives no suggestion of anything antique. This might be the best way to describe Chen's circumstances in New York, where she pays attention to modern and contemporary art without having much access to historical Chinese work. As a result, we have a resolutely new image inspired by vintage materials and even traditional thinking.
The interesting thing about Chen's work is that little or no conflict exists in the influences of the two countries she has lived in. This means there is, somehow, a stylistic connection between the long-ago imagery of Asia and the modernist (and later) forms of the West--or that Chen's abilities are such that she can successfully merge her double allegiance. There are times when her choice figuratively reflects her early life in China, and there are times when her thinking seems entirely up to date in the Western manner. In the long run, though, perhaps it doesn't matter where she belongs since she takes part in a pluralism that now occurs internationally in art. No matter where we assign her influences, it is clear that Chen is working from an independent sense of self. This is highly unusual for so young a printmaker, and it is impressive.

Terrific Time Dance Studio was founded in 1992 by Terri Walsh (now Terri Layne), the daughter of Butch and Carol Walsh. With the dream of always wanting to open her own dance studio, she began thinking of what to call the studio at a very early age. After playing with words and phrases, she came across the phrase "TERRIfic Time". This clearly represented what she wanted to provide the dancers at her studio. Terri wanted to make dance fun. She wanted everyone to be able to experience dance in an environment that was fun, challenging, and positive. She wanted her studio to be available to all ages, and she wanted dancers to get as much as they wanted from taking dance there. In other words, if a dancer wanted to go to college and choose dance as a profession, she wanted her studio to prepare the dancer for that career. If a dancer wanted to to come and dance for exercise and stress relief, then she wanted her studio to serve that need as well. Terri started the studio in Amherst with only a few students and soon grew to a larger location to meet the needs of the community. Helping her along the way, her mother (Carol - Mor-Mor) served her the entire time as her accountant, office manager, and partner. Carol traveled with Terri, went to conventions, competitions, and assisted Terri in making the studio dream become a reality. With 15 solid years of business, Terri not only accomplished a solid presence of dance within the community, a love of dance in so many families, but she literally changed the lives of so many dancers as their self-esteem and confidence grew with every performance. Miss Terri believes that dance can change a life. It can help someone overcome a difficulty in learning; it can bring out a beautiful personality in a child that normally does not express him/herself; and dance can provide exercise and promote healthy living at the same time. Holding onto the purpose that Miss Terri established in 1992, the studio is still serving Amherst, VA strong today with a new owner.
Miss Joy purchased the studio during the summer of 2006 after working with Miss Terri for several years as an instructor. Terrific Time Dance Studio held the same name for the first three years under Miss Joy as the new owner. However, during the summer of 2009, the name changed to Amherst Dance Academy to reflect the new ownership and the implementation of a professional ballet program. The team of instructors is such a dynamic blast of creativity and vision! They love to see their students express their love for dance. Miss Joy's husband, Mr. Jason, is now the studio manager and handles the advertising, accounting, and all the "behind the scenes" obligations. We look forward to serving Amherst, VA for many years to come, and we are very excited about what we have to offer to you at Amherst Dance Academy. The instructors create such a different dance environment that offers so much to a dancer. Come check us out, because we believe that you will be pleased with what you find.

Q: Flutter app not working in apk-release but works in debug mode (even after giving internet permissions) My app works fine in debug mode. I followed all the steps mentioned in flutter docs for making apk-release. I even mentioned the internet permissions for the apk-release in AndroidManifest file. My apk-release builds perfectly fine. But when i install it in my phone and try to use the app(Basically login using phone number cause the first page in my app is the login page), it doesnt respond. I figured there must be some problem with the internet permissions but I rechecked everything. It all works fine when i install the debug apk from Android Studio, but the release apk is somehow unable to communicate with the authentication servers. Please help me.
Btw, I updated all the dependencies in pubspec.yaml like cloudfirestore versions and stuff. Still no change. Also, I guess my SHA1 key is right in firestore. I also had to rename my package name from com.example.pareez to com.rishav.pareez but I am sure I made no mistake in that.
I ALSO USED THE SAME key.jks WHICH I USED TO MAKE AN APP YESTERDAY.
UPDATE - I uninstalled the previously installed apk from my phone and I used flutter install from my pc and then the app ran perfectly well. I guess installing manually is giving me problems. But i installed other apps manually too, and they worked fine.

A: Build your aab bundle or apk using the below commands.

*

*For aab bundle:
flutter build appbundle --no-shrink

*For apk:
flutter build apk --no-shrink
This solution worked for me. I hope, this will also help you. Thanks for asking this question.

A trip to the Smokey Mountains and a stay on the beach in North Carolina were our first experiences with vacation rental properties. They worked out well and we have lots of fond memories of those vacations.
When we wanted to take our kids and grands to Disney World we saved a lot of money by renting a house that would accommodate all eleven of us since one family had to stay home with a newborn. It also gave us the opportunity to have a home base to visit with each other. In addition, we could cook a few meals and make lunches to take into the park. The house was a short drive from the entrance to Disney and it worked out so well that we did it again several years later with a house that could accommodate fourteen of us (we've grown even more since then).
More recently we have rented several condos in Key Largo and yes, become snow birds for the winter.
Rental properties are available all over the world and are often a much nicer way to station yourself in an area and explore for less than a hotel or B&B especially when you have the opportunity to cook some meals. Several sites online are available to peruse properties: VRBO, Dwellable, Homeaway and Flipkey (owned by TripAdvisor). Here are a few things to keep in mind.
Not all pictures are the same. A good photographer or edit job can make something look a whole lot better than it is. Look for outdated kitchen appliances and other clues that it might not be exactly as portrayed.
Check out guest comments on a different site. Sometimes the comments are all from friends and family giving the place a good name or the opposite can be true--the competition tearing it down. Find the middle ground for something closer to the truth.
Call the owner if possible and ask lots of questions like how many beds and are they beds or pull out couches. Is there a cleaning fee? Amenities like shampoo, laundry detergent (if there's a washer/dryer), hair dryer. Much of that may be on the listing but if not, be sure to ask.
Get it in writing if you can. This past year, we had someone who said, "Oh, just send me the first month's payment and we'll be fine." We insisted on a lease agreement since we were counting on staying more than a month.

10 reasons the new Borderlands 2 DLC is a sneak peek of Borderlands 3
10 reasons the Borderlands 2 Commander Lilith and the Fight for Sanctuary DLC is a sneak peek of Borderlands 3
Gearbox really is spoiling us. The free Borderlands 2 DLC, Commander Lilith and the Fight for Sanctuary, has just been announced for real. Having played it myself, let me tell you that it is a fairly hefty beast of extra content for Borderlands 2, especially considering you can get it for zero money. Return to the world of Pandora and you'll find that a former Dahl commander named Hector has invaded Sanctuary with his twisting vines and rampant plant life in an attempt to claim Pandora as a "paradise" for his soldiers, so it's down to you to shoot down his Pandora army and the plant-infected bandits at his beck and call, and reclaim Sanctuary.
But there's much more to the DLC than that. Here are all the ways Commander Lilith and the Fight for Sanctuary prepares us for Borderlands 3, but obviously spoilers for the DLC follow, although I've stayed away from main story details (apart from the last two points). So don't read any further if you haven't played it. That's your final warning, alright? Scroll below the picture of Flak if you're ok with spoilers.
1. Mordecai and Brick are Tiny Tina's dads
In the Borderlands teaser trailer we got months ago, a brief part of it showed Tiny Tina high-fiving Brick and Mordecai, plus in the full Borderlands 3 trailer the trio were shown happily jivin' together. Now we know that it's because they're family, as in the DLC it's revealed that Mordecai and Brick have become Tiny Tina's dads. Aww. Her parents were murdered by Handsome Jack's experiments, so it just makes my heart swell to hear that she's been taken under the Vault Hunters' wings.
That's not all there is to Tina, though. Like in the Bunkers and Badasses DLC, we get shown what she's like when she's not hyped up and being her usual peppy self. For a moment Tina lets her guard down and reveals how anxious she is; how incapable she is of slowing down because of the stuff that comes into her brain when she stops moving. This insight into her inner turmoil could be a sign that Borderlands 3 is going to delve more into what makes our favourite NPCs tick, and I am 100% here for it.
2. Lilith grows into being a Commander like Roland
In case the title of the DLC wasn't a big enough clue, Lilith gradually grows to embrace her position as leader of the Crimson Raiders after Roland's death. It sets her up to be the leader of an impressive force in Borderlands 3, meaning that although she's retired from the Vault Hunter life expect her to be issuing missions and orders as a Commander to both you and other characters. Plus she'll probably have her own soldiers help you out in the field.
3. It introduces the Effervescent tier of rarity for weapons
During your time runnin' and gunnin' across Pandora, you'll come across Effervescent weapons that gleam all the colours of the sparkling rainbow. A few have some special reloading characteristics, like an SMG I found that you throw away instead of reloading, which then spins around and fires at the same time. It's damned cool. But mainly this tier of weapons prepares you for their inclusion in Borderlands 3. They'll be the rarest items in the game, so if you find an Effervescent gun in the DLC you'll want to keep hold of it. Trust me.
4. Fighting alongside NPCs
During some parts of the DLC you'll be fighting alongside the Vault Hunters of yore like Brick and Lilith, just like you can in Borderlands 3. Although they can't revive you like NPCs allegedly can in Borderlands 3, it sure is nice to have some company when you're fighting bandits, robots, and Hector's Pandora army. Plus Lilith is pretty damned powerful. When she's by your side, just remember to take a look at her attacks every now and again. They're… impressive, to say the least.
5. We're given closure about Scooter's death
Scooter (RIP) died in Tales from the Borderlands a hero. Saying goodbye to him so suddenly might have come as a shock, but in the DLC you get to execute his last will and testament in an affectionate, funny, and heart-warming quest that lets all of us get some closure over his death. Don't expect it to be a light-hearted matter though, as Scooter's last will and testament is dealt with very tastefully and might even make you shed a tear (I definitely came close). Plus Ellie gets introduced as Catch-A-Ride's new owner, so when you see her manning the Catch-A-Ride station in Sanctuary 3 it'll all make sense.
6. Tannis might not be trustworthy
Tannis has always been a little… eccentric, but her behaviour gets more worrying in the DLC. She talks about having a plant army, wants to analyse Jack's research about controlling Sirens despite Lilith's misgivings, and generally her behaviour just makes me really suspicious. Being morally ambiguous about obtaining knowledge has always been her style, though, kind of like Sylens from Horizon Zero Dawn.
Or perhaps my suspicion is well-founded and that Siren research Tannis eventually gets her hands on comes into play in Borderlands 3. We already know that Tyreen, the evil Siren, can sap the life force out of people, but what if Tannis is secretly helping her and her brother Troy from behind the scenes? Tannis has made no secret of the fact that she wants to know what's in the Vaults, so I wouldn't put teaming up with the baddies behind her. Some even theorise that she's secretly a Siren and just keeps her Eridian markings hidden (here's her outfit in all three games if you need a reminder), plus an easter egg in the Battleborn DLC says "Tannis is not what she seems". Hmm…
7. There are more varied and new types of enemies
Hector's Pandora army and the Infected bandits you have to fight off not only look different from the usual mobs coming your way, but behave differently too: Medics heal fellow soldiers (like the Drones that repair Hyperion robots); upon dying Loot Nests spew out a ton of guns, ammo, and money; and Infected Sprouts and Spores launch slag bombs so enemy attacks deal more damage. New behaviours like this could hint that we're going to get enemies in Borderlands 3 that don't quite behave as expected, so you might want to brush up on your shooting skills in the meantime. Just a friendly warning.
8. Claptrap has pretty much predicted the Calypso Twins
Ok, so he might come out with some ridiculous statements most of the time, but in a mission you get after beating the main quest Claptrap actually foreshadows the Calypso Twins being the main baddies of Borderlands 3. He doesn't say their name, but he does go on about bandit leaders needing some kind of cult/religious persona to get hordes of bandits to follow them, then starts talking about making up a mystical backstory for yourself… even seven years before the Calypso Twins came on the scene, Claptrap was on the ball. Now isn't that a surprise?
Warning: Below this image of Lilith are two more questions, but they deal with the ending to the main story in Commander Lilith and the Fight for Sanctuary, so only keep reading if you've finished the main quest or don't care about spoilers.
9. We find out what happened to Sanctuary 1
In Borderlands 3 Sanctuary isn't the same floating city it was in Borderlands 2. Instead it's an awesome spaceship where we finally get our own customisable room, but if you had any questions about what happened to the first Sanctuary then this DLC has the answer. Lilith blows the first Sanctuary city up right at the end of the main story in the DLC, killing Hector and destroying the Vault Key at the same time. Drat. But…
10. It sets the stage for going off-world
Even though the Vault Key got destroyed at the end of the DLC, Lilith is still adamant that the Crimson Raiders shouldn't give up on finding those other vaults before nefarious ne'er-do-wells get their hands on them. So the Siren orders her remaining Crimson Raiders to go to different planets that she remembers seeing in the Vault Key map to find the Eridian Vaults. However, Lilith is staying on Pandora. Having all the major NPCs scattered on different planets would make sense, as presumably in Borderlands 3 every planet you visit will have one of these characters. They'll then be its core NPC, the one who acts as a point of contact for the Crimson Raiders and Lilith.
If reading all that has you in the mood for Borderlands 3, we've got plenty more Borderlands content, including our Borderlands 3 preview which explains everything that's changed in the game, or look below to watch it in video form!

Q: How to forward image to another chat with telegram bot python api? User sends image to telegram bot.
Is it possible to forward image or send it to another chat without saving?
my code
def reg_text(message):
global text
text = message.text
if len(text.split()) < 2:
    bot.send_message(message.from_user.id, "Too short message.")
    bot.register_next_step_handler(message, reg_text)

else:
    bot.send_message(message.from_user.id, "Perfect! Send an image")
    bot.register_next_step_handler(message, reg_photo)

def reg_photo(message):
#get image id and send it to another chat (which is constant)

A: I have a working bot and among many features, one is exactly what you want to achieve. This def works identifying if a image or a document was sent by the user. If it's a document (if part of the loop), the bot send the document to a channel on Telegram; if it's a image (else part of the loop), the bot send the image to the same channel.
def file_handler (update, context):

    if update.message['photo'] == []:
        fileID = update.message['document']['file_id']
        fileName = update.message['document']['file_name']
        context.bot.sendDocument(chat_id = channel_chat_id,
                                 caption = 'image caption',
                                 document = fileID)

    else:
        fileID = update.message['photo'][-1]['file_id']
        context.bot.sendPhoto(chat_id = channel_chat_id,
                              caption = 'image caption',
                              photo = fileID)

Remembering that on def main() you must have a MessageHandler to handle def file_handler.
dp = updater.dispatcher
dp.add_handler(MessageHandler(Filters.document | Filters.photo, file_handler))

Let me know if this works for you!

A Front Page Crime: Outing the Special Forces
By Joseph Sarkisian
Earlier this month, the Wall Street Journal published a picture on their front page of U.S. Special Forces operators sweating from the heat of battle after helping to quell the rampage that Taliban forces unleashed at a Kabul hotel (in the online version the caption has been changed, and does not mention U.S. special forces).
While the special operations community has been photographed before, this particular picture is different: it shows their eyes. Of the five operators pictured, four are easily identifiable if you're friend, family, or worse, the enemy.
It appears one soldier was quick enough to duck his head before the shot was taken, but the others were not so lucky.
Most of the time when you see a picture of such esteemed and highly secretive personnel their faces are blurred, they're wearing sunglasses, or the the shot is taken from the back or side. Several pictures come to mind in the past where the top secret nature of their work and their personal safety has been respected.
A picture of Delta Force operators in Afghanistan in 2001 chronicled by ex-unit leader Dalton Fury has the men's faces blurred. Another in Panama in 1989 has a black bar placed over their eyes. Yet another picture here shows Army Green Berets wearing sunglasses.
It is disturbing that a newspaper can be so irresponsible. Understandably, the American public is intrigued by these men because they personify the very traits that we all seek to exhibit: courage, selflessness, honor, and fearlessness.
One can also understand a reporter's excitement to snap a photo such as this and the respectability that comes with printing the news as it happens without altering a story or adding a spin just for the sake of a headline.
Tact however plays a role here. This picture endangers the men who are in it. While the chances of any negative repercussions may seem slim there is a very real possibility for harm. Let me paint a picture if I may....
One of the soldiers in the picture has a friend back home who sees the picture and easily identifies him. He then tells his friends and word gets around. These same friends know the soldiers family, where they live, and other personal details about their life.
This story could easily fall upon malevolent ears. Lest we forget, we have sleeper cells in this country that could make quite a statement by murdering the family or close friends of a special forces operator. That sleeper cell could also provide the name of this soldier and his approximate location, setting in motion plans to attack their base in Afghanistan, plant IEDs nearby, or simply collect intel on their activities.
The indiscretion of the Wall Street Journal to publish such a photo is a tactless move with the potential for serious repercussions. Special Forces operators put their lives on the line to protect this country in ways that most are incapable of. The least we can do is give them a little room to do their job.

Discussion in 'Web & Email' started by nloney, Jan 25, 2006.
It did this last time I reformatted, and I finally got it working, but cannot remember what i did to fix it. Any suggestions? I've checked every setting i can think of, and i'm just exhausted thinking about it!
Tried uninstalling and reinstalling the modem drivers AND aol again last night and still no luck. Can anyone help?
On the AOL Sign-On Screen, click Setup and then click Expert Setup.
Click on the Devices tab, choose your modem from the list and click Delete.
Exit the AOL software and restart it again. AOL will attempt to auto-detect your modem, then try to connect to AOL again.
I think I tried this once, but it might have been before the last re-format I did. I will try it tonight and let ya'll know what happens. Thank you so much!!!!!!
Talked to AOL, they said evidentally it's a problem with my computer, something about the Dial-up-Networking.
Is the AOL Adapter, AOL Dial Up Adapter listed there?
Thanks, you're very helpful. Ha, MUCH more helpful than the AOL techs!!!!!
They weren't there. There were other ones (TCP/IP I think), but nothing AOL.
Any suggestions on how to get it there or if they should or should not be there?
I'm about to just give the thing a pitch out the front window, lol!
If they aren't there, it almost sounds like the software isn't fully installing. The adapter should be created when you install AOL.
See if any of those options help.
Cheeseball, my hero, help me please!
Ok...so I tried everything suggested, and even tried a couple things the AOL tech guy had emailed me. Nothing worked. I figured, since my 'puter was ancient, it was about time for a new one anyhow. So, I went out and bought a new one! This one has Windows XP and all sorts of memory and hard drive space. Weee!
I'm having the SAME EXACT problem!!!!! Am I just jinxed or what?
It's like there's something blocking my computer from handshaking AOL...or AOL won't let it handshake. I don't get it!
Are you still trying to install the same copy of 8.0? Maybe it's a bad copy.
It's possible the software is corrupted on that CD.
Nope, I tried installing what was already on the new computer (9.0 Limited Edition). Then uninstalled that and installed off a totally different 9.0 Optimized disc I had.
Wow, that is weird. Did you check to see if the Adapter was installed again?
I Want TLS Handshake DEAD!

"And I Miss You, But I Miss Spider-Man" – 36 Funniest Taylor Swift Sayings
It's Taylor Swift's hilarious lyrics that everyone gets wrong.
I don't know about you (but I'm 22…just kidding), but when Taylor Swift releases a new album, I just listen on repeat and learn the songs over time. I don't tend to use his gorgeous lyrical videos, and judging by the tweets below, plenty more are in the same boat. Luckily for us, that led to these 36 funniest I misheard the words of Taylor Swift which we all enjoy now.
Some of these sayings that are fake are relatable and some are just cringe-worthy in the best way. One thing's for sure, when it comes to Tay's song lines, we don't tend to know them too well. Instead, we seemingly shrug our shoulders about a line here or there and say, "Call it what you want."
Have fun laughing at these Taylor Swift lyrics, everyone is wrong. Don't forget, that's why we can't have nice things, guys.
36 Funniest Misheard Taylor Swift Lyrics
A Twitter thread started with a good thread from Fearless (Taylor version):
"It takes everything in me just to get up every day" is the real lyric.
Honestly, we can hear it too.
Related: Consider this your "Taylor Swift Dictionary" – Time to define some of her lyrical word choices ("Machiavellian", Anyone?)
"My pennies made your crown" is the good word of the Midnights song "Karma".
In "Dancing With Our Hands Tied", Taylor sings "II loved you despite (deep fears that the world is dividing us.)"
This one is "I have a long list of ex-lovers", from "Blank Space".
Close! "Bejeweled" features the line "and I miss you, but I miss the bubbly".
We will never hear that line the same way again.
"He looks so pretty as the devil" is just as common as the "Starbucks in love" when it comes to the lyrics, everyone gets it wrong. Instead, "Cruel Summer" features the line: "He looks up smiling like the devil."
It would be interesting Easter hidden egg in the lyrics of "I Bet You Think About Me (Taylor's Version)".
We need to send everyone the lyrics of "Bejeweled", as soon as possible.
This one is from "Style" by 1989.
Which are intensified rapidly.
Related: 60 Best Outfit Ideas For Taylor Swift's Eras Tour When We're All "Too Busy Dancing To Get Knocked Down"
Instead, it's "I'm pretending to smile so he won't see."
The lyrics actually say, "In that passenger seat, you're watching me."
In the question…?" on Taylor's new album, the line is actually, "Does it make everything feel like second best after that meteor strike?"
I mean…same.
In fact, lately she's been dressing up for revenge, but we agree, Taylor, you're doing it!
What would we do without these reminders from mom?
This is another often misheard lyric! In "Starlight (Taylor's Version,)" on Red (Taylor's version)the line is actually "I met Bobby on the boardwalk in the summer of 1945".
It sure would have been a crazy easter egg. However, "…Ready for this?" began with the first line, "I knew he was a killer the first time I saw him."
This second example has the actual opening line of: "Draw the cat's eye, sharp enough to kill a man."
In "Out of the Woods", Taylor sings, "Your necklace hanging from my neck."
"Sweet Nothing" out of Midnights has the lyrics: "Industry disruptors and soul deconstructors and soft-talking peddlers indulge themselves."
We are in this version, TBH.
Once again, rock climbing!!
I mean… if we were busy wearing sombreros, we might not see the news either. Logic.
Related: That's not a problem, you can stream Swiftie workouts on Apple Fitness+ from morning to midnight(s)
The line is really "You look like my next mistake", but it's a great alternative.
A death of mysterious circumstances! The lyrics to "The Last Great American Dynasty" actually say, "She stole her dog and dyed it lime green."
"Outside they're pushing and shoving, you're in the kitchen humming," are the correct lyrics to "Sweet Nothing" on Midnights.
While singing about being on the swing in "seven" off of folkloreTaylor sings, "I peaked at seven feet in the swing over the creek."
Now I really want to "prolly" in an upcoming TS song.
It would be savage, To say the least. The line is actually, "Standing in a beautiful dress, staring at the sunset."
Ooooh, the drama! But really, it's "I had a hard time adjusting" from folkloreit's "it's me who tries".
I mean, it's plausible. But it's really going, "They bring up my story, but you're not even listening."
This one is courtesy of "Speak Now".
"The lights are out, he takes his coat off," are the lyrics to "Style."

| PH, Bright Oudh
PH, Bright Oudh - Perfume
Blood Concept, was created in 2010 by Antonio Zuddas and Giovanni Castelli, both from Milan. Now licensed to Intertrade Group and thanks to the expertise of their master perfumers and the guidance of Celso Fadelli, new olfactive stories are being presented. This is not the only element to change; working with Agenzia del Contemporaneo, they have also transformed the project aesthetically. Each flacon has become an object of strong visual impact: a cube-shaped casket box holds an elegant semi-transparent black glass cylinder capped with an oversized matt black stopper and a palette of colours chosen for the silk-screen printed detail. The concept remains faithful to the original idea: to interpret the "blood" varieties according to the infinite shades of human identity and its experiences. Starting from a sophisticated rock mood, the new range consists of ten fragrances divided into three collections that are differentiated according to colour: carmine red for THE RED SERIES, anthracite grey for THE BLACK SERIES, ultramarine blue for THE UPSIDE DOWN SERIES. The names of the perfumes are still associated with the blood groups and include subtitles that identify their mood, olfactory strength and identity, developing a world of sensorial impressions, stimulated by small inspirational touches. Blood Concept's new identity is presented in a short movie directed by photographer Paolo Santambrogio. The perfume, as main character, adornes the skin like a powerful scent of love and leaves an unforgettable memory.
Fragrances Description
The succulent aftertaste of a sacred extract. Sacrilegious and enveloping. With notes based on rum, black pepper, lemon juice immersed in white oud. A base of patchouli, white leather, ambrette and oud.

Q: foreach variable equal to another variable I want to foreach $key equal to $values to return the $called that matches the $key.
foreach($value as $values);
foreach($json['values'] as $key => $called) {
    if($key == $values) {
        $myreturns[] = $called;
    }
}
return json_encode($myreturns, true);

I have a select multiple which value is a number and if not a number on registration it fails (to stop people changing values).
I populate it with the following json
{
"values": {
    "1": "Black",
    "2": "Blue",
    "3": "Brown",
    "4": "Grey",
    "5": "Green",
    "6": "Hazel",
    "7": "Violet"
}

}
if somebody chose black and blue, the values will be 1 and 2.
For example I want foreach $key so the json above if that number is equal to "1" to return the $called that is related to the $key.
I know this is wrong but I want something like this
foreach($key == $values) {
    $myreturns[] = $called;
}

A: Close.  use array_push to push the results into a new array, then json encode that.
// json decode into associative array
$values = json_decode($json, true);

// init results
$results = array();

foreach($values as $key => $value) {
    if($called == $key) {
        array_push($results,$value);
    }
}
$result = json_encode($result);
return $result;

Also note that if you want to get an item within a json array, it is easier to just reference it within the array:
$array = json_decode($json,true);
$item = $array[$key];
