'Game of Thrones': Is Benjen Stark About to Return?
[Warning: the following article contains Game of Thrones season 6 spoilers]
Where in the world is Carmen Sandiego Benjen Stark?
The First Ranger of the Night's Watch and brother of Ned Stark was last seen way back in season 1 of Game of Thrones. He embarked on a ranging mission north of The Wall and hasn't been seen since, though he has been mentioned several times since his disappearance.
During the season 5 finale, Olly was able to lure Jon Snow to his death with the promise of information concerning his uncle, and earlier in the current season, Bran and the Three-Eyed Raven witnessed a vision of young Benjen and his siblings playing in Winterfell's courtyard.
Show runners David Benioff and D. B. Weiss have purposely tried to keep Benjen fresh in fan's minds, and now that Bran and Meera are alone, unarmed, and in desperate need of an ally north of The Wall, it might be time for the elusive character to finally reappear and save the day.
This theory is a bit of a stretch, but it's not without evidence.
The initial trailer for season 6 includes a blink-and-you'll-miss-it scene where a man on horseback takes down what appears to be a Wight with a flaming weapon. This mystery man is likely saving Bran and Meera, as the setting of this scene perfectly matches the one shown in the preview for season 6 episode 6, where our young and vulnerable heroes struggle to escape a group of Wights.
Some may argue that this mystery man is Coldhands, a friendly Wight who saves Bran in the novels and brings him to the Three-Eyed Raven, but this is unlikely. Wights are vulnerable to fire, so it makes little sense for one to wield the dangerous element as a weapon.
There is also the possibility that this man is a Wildling, but this too is highly unlikely. All of the Wildlings north of The Wall were either killed and turned into Wights ( remember the battle of Hardhome?) or relocated south of The Wall. And even if there are a few stray Wildlings left, it wouldn't make sense for this man to be one. Wildlings operate on foot, not on horseback, and this man appears to be dressed in black garb more typical of the brothers of the Night's Watch than the Wildlings.
And there's only one member of the Night's Watch unaccounted for beyond The Wall: Benjen.
It's possible that Benjen has been lurking in the shadows as part of a covert operation to take down the White Walkers. If this is true, then Benjen likely is the one responsible for burying a large stockade of Dragonglass (one of the only known weapons that can kill White Walkers) north of The Wall for the Night's Watch to find.
After all, if anyone is well aware of the fact that Winter is coming, it's a Stark.
The truth will (hopefully) be revealed next Sunday at 9 PM!
Do you think Benjen will return this season? Let us know in the comments!

Though it may have the board and pieces of an old-fashioned chess game, Rookfall is a different but equally puzzling experience that's fun for all ages.
In Rookfall you control, well, a rook and must clear the board of all tiles to move to the next level. There are 300 complex puzzles that test your spatial reasoning with board sizes ranging from 5x5, 6x6, and 7x7, letting players choose their level of difficulty.
It's a pretty casual game. There's no time limit, so there's no rush to beat the levels. But, the puzzles get increasingly difficult as you progress.
Swiping in any direction causes the rook to move across the board all the way to the last tile in that row. Because of this, you can't really control where you stop, so you'll need to plan out your paths carefully. If you make a mistake, don't worry. There's a handy reset button that lets you start the level from the beginning.
Another aspect of the game is the toppled rooks. Most levels will have these red rooks on the board. They act as roadblocks, stopping you from moving any further. They add another layer of difficulty since you now have to worry about running into them while also figuring out how to clear all the tiles.
Unlike other puzzle games, Rookfall leaves the player with the decision to set their own starting point. This lends a challenging aspect since there are a lot of possible places to begin. Not all of them will be right, though, it's up to the player to mull over where to start. At higher board sizes, this choice is even more difficult to make!
The music included doesn't even really distract from the game itself and you could even argue it helps players think about their strategy. While this is true, it could be a little grating to hear the same three songs over and over again if you've been stuck on the same level for 20 minutes.
Overall, Rookfall is a great and simple game for puzzle lovers who'd enjoy something to lose hours to. It is $2.99 on the iOS and Google Play stores.
Chess' least respected hero finally gets his time in the spotlight with this incredibly fun puzzler.

Egypt's former president Hosni Mubarak has died in a Cairo hospital on Tuesday, Egyptian state news confirmed.
Mubarak who ruled for almost 30 years was 91. Mubarak had a surgery session late January after battling illness.
The fourth president of Egypt stepped down after a popular revolution in 2011.

Mubarak was found guilty in the killing of protesters during the Arab Spring but was later freed in March 2017.
Born in a rural village in the Nile Delta on May 4, 1928, Mubarak came to power in 1981 as a member of the Egyptian air force. The former pilot rose through the ranks in the force from 1949 to become the commander-in-chief of the Egyptian Air Force in 1972.
He became Egypt's vice president in 1975 before occupying the highest office of the land.
By 2010 he became unpopular as his government was hit with a series of protests which later became known as the Arab Spring. He was forced to resign and later tried for conspiring to murder protesters.
After three years in jail the case was dropped.

Q: Javascript calling public method from private one within same object Can I call public method from within private one:
var myObject = function() {
   var p = 'private var';
   function private_method1() {
      //  can I call public method "public_method1" from this(private_method1) one and if yes HOW?
   }

   return {
      public_method1: function() {
         // do stuff here
      }
   };
} ();

A: public_method1 is not a public method. It is a method on an anonymous object that is constructed entirely within the return statement of your constructor function.
If you want to call it, why not structure the object like this:
var myObject = function() {
    var p...
    function private_method() {
       another_object.public_method1()
    }
    var another_object = {
        public_method1: function() {
            ....
        }
    }
    return another_object;
}() ;

A: Is this approach not a advisable one? I am not sure though
var klass = function(){
  var privateMethod = function(){
    this.publicMethod1();
  }.bind(this);

  this.publicMethod1 = function(){
    console.log("public method called through private method");
  }

  this.publicMethod2 = function(){
    privateMethod();
  }
}

var klassObj = new klass();
klassObj.publicMethod2();

A: do something like:
var myObject = function() {
   var p = 'private var';
   function private_method1() {
      public.public_method1()
   }

   var public = {
      public_method1: function() {
         alert('do stuff')
      },
      public_method2: function() {
         private_method1()
      }
   };
   return public;
} ();
//...

myObject.public_method2()

A: Why not do this as something you can instantiate?
function Whatever()
{
  var p = 'private var';
  var self = this;

  function private_method1()
  {
     // I can read the public method
     self.public_method1();
  }

  this.public_method1 = function()
  {
    // And both test() I can read the private members
    alert( p );
  }

  this.test = function()
  {
    private_method1();
  }
}

var myObject = new Whatever();
myObject.test();

A: Do not know direct answer, but following should work.
var myObject = function()
{
   var p = 'private var';
  function private_method1() {
   _public_method1()
  }
  var _public_method1 =  function() {
         // do stuff here
    }

  return {
    public_method1: _public_method1
  };
} ();

Senior journalist Nidhi Razdan has reportedly stepped down as the executive editor of NDTV barely days after colleague Sreenivasan Jain resigned.
After more than 22 years, it is time to move on from NDTV. It has been a wonderful, roller coaster ride but you have to know when to get off. The next couple of weeks are my last. Thank you for the love and support all these years.

Thanks again Mav, and welcome everyone to Page Seven! Also thanks to JR for his posing video, which was a big help in designing this character.
You may remember that I called Theodora Kindle the second Flame Girl, but here's the original Flame Girl, as inspired by last year's Public Domain Heroes contest:
Name: Flame Girl (I)
Alias: Kendra Ellis, Cinder
Team Affiliations: Burn Unit, Clockwork (Reserve Member)
Race: Human
Birthplace: Hesperia, CA
Powers/Abilities: Expert motocross rider, Pyrokinesis, Flight
Bio: Kendra Ellis was a daredevil and failing motorcross celebrity who sold her soul to a demon for pyrokinetic abilities so that she could make her performances more thrilling to the audience and revive her career. As lust and greed burned away at her soul, Kendra's powers grew. But the less soul she had, the less she enjoyed performing and the more aware she became of the price she had paid, and so sought out an Iroquois shaman to get her in touch with Heaven in hopes that she could alter her contract with the demon and hang on to what little soul she had left.
Note: Kendra's favorite motorcycle stunt (an homage to the Public Domain Flame Girl) is the Ring Of Fire.
Have I really not done a character in THREE WEEKS?!?!?!?!!!
i guess not…. What with all the Christmas and New Year's stuff going on, working my way up to a hundred pages in my Introspections novel (now called Pestilence for the indefinite future), putting mashups on SoundCloud, and just feeling the effects of Heromachine-lack-of-focus-itis, who can blame me?
Quick note: I entered Himmler into the Party contest (because he's a member of the Nazi PARTY, get it?)
Tonight's character is another supporting player that I mentioned in a past character bio, this time from the bio of Linda Norgood, my Elemental Witch of Water. It's Locasta, former ruler of Atlantis and Linda's mother. Locasta's twin sister is coming soon.
Name: Locasta
Race: Atlantean
Birthplace: Atlantis
Abilities: Trilingual (English/Irish/Atlantean), High lung capacity, High tolerance of pressure changes, Skilled diplomat, swimmer, and warrior, Former Atlantean royalty.
Bio: Locasta was once the ruler of the lost underwater city of Atlantis, until the day she met and fell in love with a human naval officer named Timothy Norgood, who had an almost Atlantean tolerance for the treacherous nature of the open sea. In stature and character, he was her equal, and they remained equals and partners in life until the day he died in service to his country.
By that time, she had already given birth to their daughter, Linda. Her depression compounded by grief over her husband's death, Locasta deemed herself unfit to rule and abdicated the throne to her sister (morally not the best choice for interim queen, but the only choice available to her under Atlantean law). Locasta made a new home on the Irish mainland and raised her daughter in peace, eventually discovering Linda's Tonntan abilities and training her how to understand and respect the water she controlled.
Fearing she would lose the throne to not one but two generations (even though only half Atlantean, Linda could also legally take the throne in the event of her mother's and aunt's deaths), Locasta's twin sister Jocasta hired a young Lasair assassin to kill Locasta and Linda on the day Linda came to legal age.
Linda bore witness to her mother's murder and used her powers to escape, living to plot her revenge against Theodora Kindle.

So…it's been two months this time. Mostly because I couldn't get a concept I liked that matched what was in my head. I wanted a look that was somewhere between the evil queen from Snow White and the sea witch from The Little Mermaid, but without it just being a photoshop of the queen's body on a set of tentacles. I wanted something regal and evil, but also a technologically advanced warrior-queen type. So I ultimately went with the following design for Locasta's evil twin, Jocasta:
Name: Jocasta
Race: Atlantean/Hybrid
Powers/Abilities: Bilingual (Sonar/Atlantean), High lung capacity, High tolerance of pressure changes, Advanced technical aptitude, Skilled swimmer and warrior, Acting Atlantean royal, Can transform into giant squid using a metamorphic gauntlet, Suffers from squd-like physical deformities (tentacled left hand, night vision in left eye, scaly nodules on her face).
Bio: Jocasta is the twin sister of former Atlantean queen Locasta Norgood, and became queen when Locasta abdicated her throne for civilian life on the surface. Unlike her sister, Jocasta was more interested in war than diplomacy, and so approved the Gauntlet program (headed by Atlantis' top paleobiologist, Dr. Icthya Moso) as a potential weapon and recon tool against the surface world. But complications with the Gauntlet technology led to hybridized mutations in most of the test subjects, whose families began to incite revolution among the rest of the Atlantean people. Fearing she would lose her throne to her sister (or her half-blood niece–shudder), Jocasta hired a surface world assassin to eliminate them.
No one would dare voice their suspicions as to Jocasta's involvement in the assassination, and all talk of revolution quickly subsided thereafter.
Work on improvement of the Gauntlet technology continued, and despite their physical deformities and inevitable mental deterioration, Jocasta still saw some strategic value in having a secret army of paleomarine hybrids at her disposal. She personally saw to the construction and maintenance of a "disposal facility" (and the subsequent elimination of all untrustworthy personnel) where mutated test subjects were held in cryogenic stasis, unbeknownst to Dr. Moso.
Jocasta also illegally acquired her own Gauntlet, which bound her DNA to that of a giant squid. The Gauntlet, as it turned out, was an early model prone to malfunction, and almost immediately inflicted Jocasta with the physical deformities mentioned and depicted above. Unable to hide the consequences of her illegal activity (or her increasing insanity), Jocasta decided to pull the trigger on her secret army and raze Atlantis to the ground.
The Forgotten City remained standing, but Jocasta and her hybrid followers escaped into the deep, where she encountered a powerful Beast with promises of curing her mutation.
Note: If you recall any details of my old thread, this character bio not only ties into the ongoing Wiccan war (as it relates to the feud between Linda Norgood and Theodora Kindle), but it also provides more backstory on Icthya's mission to hunt down the escaped hybrids and briefly hints at the hybrids' impending involvement in the Plague event.
Perhaps I'll get back to the Elemental Witches next. I've had a re-work of Lady Luck sitting on the burner for awhile now.
grievas
Your works are amazing!
Ciao from Italy

Q: HTML form - normal button prevents submitting the form on Enter I have a form with some
<button>

elements and a normal
<input type="submit">

button to submit the form.
However, when I press Enter when I'm in a textfield, the form does not get submitted but much rather the first  Element is "pressed".
How can I change this behavior?

A: I would recommend changing the <button> tag and turning it into an <input type="button" /> tag.  This should force the form to submit the way you want.

A: You can use javascript to capture that the Enter key was pressed and submit the form.
See this example.
For a complete answer, could you please post your HTML?


Thank you for choosing Gunstreet. Below is the step by step instructions for your phase volume bleed wiring. Please note that these instructions are best used when paired with the wiring diagram we included in your box.
For this tutorial we will be using Seymour Duncan Color Codes. Black is the Hot, Red and White soldered together is the Series, and Green is the Ground. Each pickup brand uses their own set of color codes. So, these colors might not match your pickups. We have included this diagram showing you all the color codes for other brands. Make sure to take note of what color is what with your pickups as we will use the term the color represents.
Start by first soldering the Bridge pickups Hot Wire to the White Hot Input on the Bridge Tone Control.
Next solder your Bridge pickups Ground Wire to the Black Ground Input Wire on the Bridge Tone Control.
Solder your Neck Pickups Hot Wire to the first lug on the Neck Volume Pot. See the Diagram to the left if you don't know which lug is the first lug. Finish the Neck Pickup Install by soldering the Neck Pickups Ground wire to the casing of the pot. if you are using a pickup with either a 4 conductor or shielded 2 conductor wire, solder the ground wire and bare together and solder it to the casing of the pot.
NEXT FINISH THE WHOLE INSTALL BY SOLDERING THE GUITARS GROUND WIRE THAT IS COMING FROM YOUR GUITARS BRIDGE TO THE CASING OF THE NECK VOLUME POT.

I've also read that using a cath for extended periods could make it worse. Maybe it's when it's inserted for a long time. But I still think the urethra can get irritated/inflamed, if I keep pressing a large tube up frequently. I think i'll have to discuss it with the urologist when I get there in two weeks, and ask if it's really necessary. I never knew I had one, so it's a random discovery, and my journal says it's a small one.
I like your approach to self cath on the stricture! Every procedure that is invasive no matter how minor carries some kind of risk. In this case infection is probably the main concern and I think you have nailed it. You may want to prove to yourself you can do it in an emergency however, I'd probably take your approach.
Glad they found nothing and wish you well!
I went and had the procedure done today. In general anaesthesia.
They used the hard scope to do it, as far as I understand it. I guess so they could remove tumors if they found any.
They were able to pass the stricture, and because I was relaxed, they didn't have to cut it, to get through. That was also nice.
It does however bleed and hurt like hell when I have to pee. They said it would be normal. I guess I'll give it a few days.
Furthermore, they said I would have to insert a catheter 2 times a week for three months, and then 1 time a week for three months, to expand the stricture.
I have to insert it myself at home, and it just have to go past the stricture, and then out again. So it's really fast.
I'm not sure i'm going to do it. I'm pretty sure I've had that stricture always, without issues. Plus there is a real risk of getting infections, especially when I have to do it so many times, and at home. My house is not sterile like a hospital.
I've talked with my dad, who is also a doctor (not an urologist though), but he thought it was unnecessary to do it, especially with the risk of infection.
There's a good number of different potential causes for blood, I would say there's no reason to worry but that will never help you to stop, it's natural for your brain to wander off in all directions.
I'm 26 and had a tumour removed, I went through all the same worries... the shock, the fear, the anxiety, it all happens but it needs to for you to move on!
Focus on getting the procedure completed and recovering from that, I want to hear good results from you post op!
I feel like sharing my story, and maybe someone has tried something similar.
I'm a 26 year old male.
On 03/12-2018 (December 3rd 2018), i noticed two drops of blood in my morning urine. The urine looked fine in the toilet, but the last two drops were red.
The second time i went to the toilet which were maybe two hours later, only the last drop was red.
I naturally went to the doctor the same day.
They took a urine sample. The doctor said that if you really looked hard, you could maybe argue that there was microscopic blood in it. But it was hard to see (so maybe +1 on the strip).
Anyway, in Denmark (where i'm from), you can get a referral to a cancer package at the hospital, which means they have to sort you out fast.
Went for a CT scan Friday the 7th.
It was clear. The urine sample that day was also clean.
Anyway, that didn't go well. Apparently I have urethral stricture which prevented the soft scope from entering the bladder. They tried to widen the stricture, but missed and hit the urinal tract wall, which meant it began to bleed. I told them to stop, because it was getting uncomfortable. They agreed.
Then they told me they would like to try again in general anaesthesia, and the doctor said they would use a guide wire to get past that stricture.
So I went into some preliminary test/consultation here on the 7th of January, where I had to do a urine test again (Which was clear).
Now I have the procedure scheduled for the 14th, and i'm really scared. Both for the results, even though the doctors don't suspect they will find anything, but also that it will bleed like after the first cystoscopy. Because that really hurt to pee that much blood. The first time i went after, it was peeing pure blood. It was so dark, and shot out like crazy.
On a side node. I did do weightlifting the day before i noticed those drops of blood on the 3rd, and during one of the lifts i did feel pain in the lower abdomen. Furthermore, at the time I was on high dose antibiotic (i've read that it can cause blood in urine), and I may have taken two rounds too close to each other during the evening on the 2nd (i had an infection in my toe, due to an ingrown nail).
Anyway. That's my story. I'm still scared about the results. I have a kid that is almost a year and a half, and just bought a house.


Pete passed away on April 13, 2019. He was 73 years young. Pete is a native Gilroyan and was very proud of his town. He left behind his beloved wife, Linda Faye Valdez, who just celebrated their 47th wedding anniversary on April 10th.

Wester Ross looks to continue his winning form in the first race at Huntingdon tomorrow, Thursday 19th October. The 2 mile novice race has been divided and Wester Ross' division looks the weaker of the two on paper. However being a novice hurdle there are plenty of unexposed types in the race. He has come out of his win at Uttoxeter very well and even with a 7 pound penalty he can run well tomorrow. Regular rider Mark Bradburne is on board again and gets on very well with the horse.

Q: I do not understand how to add multiple SSH for github using ssh config I'm on an M1 Macbook Pro 16" if this information matters at all.
Here is a list of things I did !AFTER! removing the contents of the config file.
$ ssh -v localhost
OpenSSH_8.6p1, LibreSSL 3.3.6

I have created a simple ssh file using the recommended type:
$ ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -C "my.actual.email@whatever.com" -f github-personal
... password, whatever

$ ls -la
.
..
bkup
config
github-personal
github-personal.pub
known_hosts

I then procede to add the public key to my account
$ cat ~/.ssh/github-personal.pub | pbcopy

Go to my account, settings, SSH and GPG, add the key, give it a relevant name.
$ ssh-add -l
The agent has no identities.

Good, as expected
$ ssh-add ~/.ssh/github-personal
password:...

$ ssh-add -l
256 SHA256: ... my.email@whatever

compare the signature with that on github, yes it's the same, everything works.
$ ssh -T git@github.com
Hi [my-name]! You've successfully authenticated, but GitHub does not provide shell access.

$ git clone git@github.com:my-user/my-repo
cloning into ... whatever it works

Nice! The bare minimum works! Now let's try having 3 github accounts, each with it's own SSH key. But ... that's scary. Let's get the exact above thing to work with a config file before even adding other accounts maybe?
contents of ~/.ssh/config:

AddKeysToAgent yes
IdentitiesOnly yes

Host personal-github
    HostName github.com
    User git # as instructed by git, only ever use the git user i.e. git@github.com
    UseKeychain yes
    IdentityFile ~/.ssh/github-personal
#    PreferredAuthentications publickey,password

I had no idea if PreferredAuthentications publickey,password was messing me up, I tried with and without it. Now without.
$ ssh-add -l
yes, agent still has it, it's listed here

$ ssh -T git@github.com
git@github.com: Permission denied (publickey).

...
$ ssh-add -D
$ ssh-add -l
key not longer here

$ ssh personal-github
PTY allocation request failed on channel 0
Hi my-name! You've successfully authenticated, but GitHub does not provide shell access.
Connection to github.com closed.

$ ssh-add -l
yep, key was added automatically

So, maybe here I'm missing something. I understand the following: I define in the config file a Host name-defined-by-me. This starts a function of sorts, or whatever, namespace, don't care. Where I can keep defining parameters until the next Host name-defined-by-me-2 comes up.
Then I call that name-defined-by-me to load that particular configuration.
In my case, let's go over the file again:
AddKeysToAgent yes
IdentitiesOnly yes

Host personal-github
    HostName github.com
    User git # as instructed by git, only ever use the git user i.e. git@github.com
    UseKeychain yes
    IdentityFile ~/.ssh/github-personal
#    PreferredAuthentications publickey,password

I have defined globally that I want:

*

*To automatically add keys to the agent

*But only specifically identified keys, not everything in ~/.ssh/

*And - I THINK - only when I call ssh name-defined-by-me or here ssh personal-github
In the specific host section of personal-github, I am saying that the HostName of whom I am trying to connect to is github.com, with the User git forming git@github.com.
I want to use my mac Key Chain to not provide the password every time I change the host. (I'd probably need a $ ssh-add -D between host changes). And I'm specifying the singular file I want to add.
It does add the file when I call $ssh personal-github, it doesn't ask for my password, and github responds with my name so SOMETHING must be right.
Yet, I cannot continue past that point.
$ ssh -T git@github.com
git@github.com: Permission denied (publickey).

$ rm -rf my-repo
$ git clone git@github.com:my-user-name/my-repo
git@github.com: Permission denied (publickey).
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.

I'm at a loss.

A: ssh -T git@github.com
git@github.com: Permission denied (publickey).

That is expected.
Whenever you are referencing a private key in your ~/.ssh/config file, under an entry Host key1, you need to change your URL to
ssh -Tv key1
git clone key1:me/myRepository

And you can repeat that for key2, key3, ...

Book Review: The Magic of Ordinary Days by Ann Howard Creel {Plus Book Club Discussion/Questions}
Earlier this week, my book club met together to discuss our most recent book choice: The Magic of Ordinary Days by Ann Howard Creel. Prior to the book being introduced at our last meeting, I hadn't heard of it but a few of the people in our group had and the general feeling was positive. The title definitely caught my attention because it seems like a contradiction. I was able to read through it in a few days and it kept my attention throughout.
This post contains affiliate links which means if you click on it and make a purchase I will receive a small commission at no extra charge to you.
My Summary and Review: (4 stars)
*Contains spoilers*
Olivia (Livvy) Dunne is the oldest of three daughters. She is studious and has dreams of exploring the world and becoming an archeologist. But her dreams get put on hold when her mother becomes sick shortly after the youngest daughter gets married and Livvy is left to take care of her. When her mother passes away, she is consumed by grief and unable to work through it. As a result, she makes a decision that unknowingly alters her future. Livvy is sent to a small town in Colorado in the 1940s where she marries a shy farmer–a marriage that has been arranged by her father. Overwhelmed by loneliness, she befriends two Japanese sisters who work on her husband's farm and live at a nearby internment camp. Slowly she begins to feel like she's found a place and becomes more comfortable in her new life. Meanwhile, her husband (Ray) tries patiently to show he cares about her, but Livvy is resistant based on her past. When Olivia unknowingly become an accomplice to a crime, she finally learns how to confront her past and move forward into the future.
The Magic of Ordinary Days was an enjoyable book with characters who feel very real. Livvy is faced with learning how to recognize true love and how to trust others. It is well written, however, I would have liked the ending not to wrap up so quickly.
Book Club Discussion Questions:
Was Livvy's father right to insist she marry before she gives birth? What other options were available to her? (Remember this is during the 1940s.)
It takes Livvy quite a while to warm up to Ray. Do you think Livvy is too hard on Ray? Are you surprised her feelings changed?
Why is it so easy for Livvy to become friends with Rose and Lorelei? How are their situations similar?
What is the significance of Rose and Lorelei's fascination with butterflies?
How does Livvy finally come to learn the difference between true love and what she thought was true love?
What characteristics of Ray's helped him feel like a real person?
Discuss the importance of love and trust in relationships. Can you have one without the other?

It was! I wouldn't say it was a book that changed my life or anything but it was definitely a good read.
Same here Erica! But it was good knowing that something good came from it (she found someone to love).
The title caught my attention too! And seriously, I hate when I am reading a book and I can't imagine myself in it or think of someone who reminds me of the characters. For me, part of the joy of reading comes from being able to identify with the characters in some way.
Awesome Leah! I hope you like it. 🙂
Most definitely. It is a book I am glad that I took the time to read.
Sarah 5 years ago
Sounds like an interesting book. I like the title independent of the synopsis. The magic of ordinary days 🙂
It has a nice ring to it, doesn't it? There really is magic in ordinary days if we look for it. It reminds me of one of your recent posts. 🙂

Q: IIS10 Redirect based on country I have URL rewrite installed in IIS and potentially that could be used but I'm trying to figure out how I could redirect a website to a different domain (not hosted by me) depending on the country the visitor is from.
I have a brand website for the United states and all visitors in the US & CA should arrive at my site. But if their from any other country they should be redirected to the parent website that's on a different domain not hosted by me.
How can this be done in IIS10, or via the URL Rewrite module for IIS?

A: For anyone searching on how to do something similar, this site was helpful. Will need to build into a custom utility but the concept is sound.

Canadian real estate crowdfunder closes new deal
Downing Street partner Marc Canale
· December 28, 2015 ·1 min read
Toronto-based real estate crowdfunder NexusCrowd closed its second deal of the fall, after announcing a $500,000 raise for two industrial properties in Toronto and one in nearby Mississauga with a combined square footage of 110,000 square feet.
The properties had been purchased by Downing Street Realty Partners, which began redevelopment, including removal of environmental contaminants on the Toronto properties, more than one year ago.
The total equity raise for the project, which has a target completion date of October 2016, was $5.8 million. NexusCrowd raised its share in five weeks.
This recent investment caps a successful fall which saw the platform raise a total of $1 million for two deals. NexusCrowd CEO Hitesh Rathod said that total confirms investor interest in commercial real estate. Investors are also attracted to his platform for other reasons, he explained.
"Investors also appreciate that NexusCrowd has gone through significant regulatory scrutiny and is licensed as an Exempt Market Dealer. Their confidence is extremely important as we continue to gain solid traction in this new and growing space."
Downing Street partner Marc Canale explained how real estate crowdfunding fits into his business plan.
How to get the most out of your buy-to-let apartment
"We have over 30 years of experience developing and investing in commercial real estate but we wanted to access new sources of capital seamlessly without disrupting our business model. Our long-term partnership with NexusCrowd is a perfect fit because it enables us to do that. We are extremely pleased with how NexusCrowd executed this deal."
NexusCrowd provides accredited investor access to deals which are at least half funded. They have an exempt market dealer license which allows them to partner with institutions on debt and equity investments. The minimum investment is $10,000.
Downing Street Realty Partners concentrates on real estate investment management and real estate merchant banking as both a principal and independent adviser. Since 1986 it has been involved in more than three million square feet of development across Canada.

Inside plans in the Kenya Kwanza government to increase the Counties from 47 to 52
Kenya Kwanza government intends to amend the constitution to increase the number of counties from the current 47 to 52.
Kenya Kwanza allied MP Marwa Kitayama (Kuria East), plans to introduce a bill to change the constitution to increase the number of counties to 52 from the current 47 capped by the constitution.
Kitayama has already written a notice to the Speaker of the National Assembly Moses Wetangula.
Kalonzo to face off with Wetangula for National Assembly…
Parliament makes it easy to change or amend the constitution
Confirmed list of Governors who have already won so far
Differences in Ruto's camp as Moses Kuria clashes with…
Wetangula reintroduces bill declined by Uhuru seeking to…
According to him, new counties such as Kuria County would be created from Migori County, Teso County from Busia County, East Pokot County from Baringo County, and Mount Elgon County would be created from Bungoma and Trans Nzoia Counties if the constitution was to be altered.
The MP claimed that he had so far gathered 60 signatures in favor of the proposal and that, once the Speaker approves its introduction, he will be permitted to make a statement on the floor of the House so that other members can express their opinions before harmonization and finalization of the proposal to take the opinions into account is given.
" Parliament cannot by itself collect views of the people and establish county boundaries. However, the constitution has empowered the independent and Boundaries Commission with the powers of delimitation.
That is why under the bill, clause 5 proposes that IEBC should delimit the additional counties of Kuria, YTeso, Mt Elgon, East Pokot, and Mwingi from the existing counties of Migori, Busia Bungoma, Transnzoia Baringo West Pokot, and Kitui respectively within six months of the commencement of the act," reads the bill.
He added, "Clause two of the Bill proposes amendments to Article 97 of the Constitution to increase the number of women elected to represent the counties in the National Assembly from 47 to 52 while Clause Three of the bill proposes amendments to Article 98 of the Constitution to increase the number of Senators from 47 to 52 cater for the proposed increase in the number of counties," said Kitayama.
The MP claimed that the Constitution established 47 Counties, that there was no scientific basis for this number, and that these counties were simply based on the districts that existed in 1992 without accounting for other districts that the government gazetted in later years in order to improve service delivery.
Sen. Allan Chesang of Trans Nzoia described the proposed amendment as a positive one but asked Kitayama to change it so that Mount Elgon would be shifted from Bungoma to Trans Nzoia since he believed it might not be feasible to have the region as a stand-alone county.
"Instead of having Mount Elgon County, the region should be moved from Bungoma to Trans Nzoia County since the area residents have much in common with their brothers in the Rift Valley region while they are domiciled in the Western region where they are misplaced," said Chesang.
At the same time, Tiaty MP William Kamket said that he fully supported Kitayama's bill since it will allow the people of East Pokot to be in charge of their affairs and that he will be lobbying other legislators to support it both in the Senate and National Assembly since it meant well for the area residents.
National Assembly Minority Whip Junet Mohammed told the Standard that he will support the bill when it comes to the floor of the house to ensure that the regions get their own counties so that they can bring services closer to the people.
The MP said that the principal objective of the Bill is to amend the Constitution and increase the number of Counties from 47 to 52 which is borne from the need to strengthen the structures of devolution with the special wish to bring development and services closer to the people depending on the views he will receive from the Members and other stakeholders this number may increase.
"Fundamentally the Bill seeks to solve the perennial ethnic antagonism and divisive elections in certain counties with Article 6(3) of the Constitution mandating State organs to ensure that there is reasonable access to its services in all parts of the Republic and as far as is appropriate to do so having regard to the nature of the services," said Kitayama.

Name of the Temple
Mahābalipuram temple
Located 60 km south of Chennai, this town is enriched with a number of heritage monuments.
How to reach there?

By Train : The nearest railway station is Cheṅgalpaṭṭu (29 km). From there take the State Highway 58 west to Mahābalipuram.
By Road : Mahābalipuram is well connected through the East-Coast-Road in Chennai.
Rulers/builders and Time Period
Mahābalipuram temples whose architecture was inspired by the Pallava Art were built during the period 830 - 1100 AD.
Five rathhas were constructed during the dynasty of King Mahendravarman I and his son Narsimhavarman I.
Deity/Deities
The shrine temple has three shrines. The main shrine and the smaller second is dedicated to Lord Śhiva and the third small shrine is dedicated to Lord Viṣhṇu.
Sthhalaśhayana Perumal Temple is another important Mahābalipuram temple, which is counted amongst one of the 108 Divya Dhesams. It is a small temple, adorned with two major shrines of Lord Sthalaśhayana Perumāḷ and Nilamaṅgai Thayār.
The temple also has another separate shrine of Lord Narasimha that reflects the Pallava style of architecture.
There are total 11 excavated temples in Mahābalipuram, called Manḍapas, two open air bas-reliefs, out of which one is incomplete. But the most famous Mahābalipuram temple is a rock cut temple, it is also known as 'Rathha'. The Pancha Rathhas is one of the best examples of monolith Indian rock cut architecture, dates back to the late 7th century.
The Shore temple is so named because of its unique location as it overlooks Bay of Bengal. This temple is an architectural masterpiece, made of granite blocks during 8th century AD. It is a five-storey temple with pyramidal structure of 60 feet height.
Arjuna's Penance is one of the largest bas reliefs in the world, carved during mid 7th century. Standing at the height of 43 feet this massive structure is carved on the two adjoining monolithic rocks. The total length of Arjuna's Penance is around 96 feet.
Special Reference to Fine Arts
Coastal area studded with small hills ideal for the creation of cave temples, stone carvings, etc. The Pallavas created many marvelous monuments like the sculptural panels, caves, monolithic rathhas and temples. These monuments carved out of solid rock, though ravaged by the sea and wind, still bear testimony to the magnificent heritage of Dravidian architecture.
The Mahābalipuram art can be divided into four categories which are open air bas-relief, structured temples, man-made caves and rathas. The most important attraction in Mahābalipuram are the famous Arjuna's Penance, the Krishna Manḍapa and the beautiful Shore Temple. Sixteen man-made caves in different stages of completion are also scattered throughout the area.
The Shore Temple, one of the oldest in South India, stands on the sea shore with its paved forecourts. Sculpture Museum is located south of the bus stand in East Raja Street and has about 3000 exquisite sculptures made by local artisans in wood, metal, brass and even cement. The museum is associated with the College of Traditional art and Architecture which has produced many fine sculptures.
The Pallavas were instrumental in the transition from rock-cut architecture to stone temples. The earliest examples of Pallava constructions are rock-cut temples dating from 610–690 CE and structural temples between 690–900 CE.
A number of rock-cut cave temples bear the inscription of the Pallava king, Mahendhravarman I and his successors.
Any Other Remarks
Mahābalipuram has been categorized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since most of the monuments were built between the 7th and 9th centuries.
The modern city of Mahābalipuram was established by the British in 1827.
Pongal is the most revered and awaited festival of the Tamils. Pongal is celebrated in mid-January every year. The festival is marked by joy and festivities at Mahābalipuram.
Māsimagam and Brahmothsavam - These Sthalaśhayana Perumāḷ temple festivals are renowned and are in the month of March.
Special Reference to Performing Arts:
Thirumaṅgai Āzhvār and Bhūthathāzhvār have composed beautiful Pāsurams on Lord Sthalaśhayana Perumāḷ and his consort Nilamaṅgai Thāyār. They are part of the compositions in Nālāyira Dhivya Prabandham.
Mahābalipuram Dance Festival is an event where artists from all over the country accumulate to perform. It is celebrated in the month of January & February every year.

Expansion plans are being drawn up for Cambridge Junction
City council chiefs have revealed it's in line for a major revamp
Cambridge's popular Junction venue could be redeveloped and expanded, council bosses have announced.
The venue was last upgraded 13 years ago, and the city council, which owns the site on Clifton Way, says it wants to "ensure the buildings and facilities are fit for purpose well into the 21st Century".
Exact plans have not yet been drawn up - the council is working with staff at the centre to produce a detailed report for councillors to study in January.
That report will ask for approval to carry out a feasibility study to see what could be done, and after that there would be public consultation on whatever scheme is proposed.
The council's leader Lewis Herbert said: "Since it first opened in 1990, Cambridge Junction has been a wonderful addition to the cultural life of Cambridge, and a fantastic resource for both the city and the wider region.
Lewis Herbert: "Fantastic resource"
Last year, plans were unveiled for a new TGI Friday "leisure and entertainment destination" near the Junction, including a restaurant building, pavilion, children's play area, fountains and a performance space with permanent seating, in the cobbled central courtyard of Cambridge Leisure Park.
At the time, it was suggested the Junction itself could be rebuilt and enlarged, possibly to eight storeys high.
But the TGI scheme was later scrapped, when the scheme's backers withdrew a planning application.
"We look forward to working closely with our partners at Cambridge Junction on plans for the site's redevelopment to ensure that it continues to provide first class facilities in the coming years, in a joint project benefiting the entire community."
The council said in a statement: "This will build on audit work carried out by the council on the current and future needs for cultural infrastructure in the city, and on the potential of Cambridge Junction to help meet the future cultural needs and interests of residents in Cambridge and the wider region.
Work on Cambridge's new ice rink finally begins
"The audit found that there is a need for multi-use venues and theatres with production, rehearsal and education space in the region. It also identified a need for arts venues in locations close to sustainable transport links, and which could offer facilities to the whole community.
"Proposals for the redevelopment of Cambridge Junction would help ensure the venue could meet these needs in the years to come."
A performance at the venue earlier this year
The original Junction opened in Clifton Road in 1990, after a campaign by the Cambridge Venue Group, who were unhappy with the lack of entertainment provision for young people.
There had been a series of all-night raves in disused buildings, and the aim was to provide a permanent place where young people could meet, listen to music and dance.
The campaign was backed by the then-Mayor of Cambridge John Woodhouse and the News, and Cambridge City Council played a leading role too.
How to get Craig David tickets before everyone else
After the first building was opened, it was extended three times, increasing capacity to 1,000 people.
Then in 2004, as part of the development of the city's old Cattle Market site, and the creation of the Cambridge Leisure site, the old building was refurbished and extended again, thanks largely to a £5m lottery grant. A big clubbing space was built, as well as a performance area for drama, dance and comedy events.
Now work is under way to see how all those facilities could be improved once again.
