Час — українська газета. Заснована 2 жовтня 1928 року. Заборонена 28 червня 1940 року. Відроджена 23 серпня 1990 року.

Історія

Перше число «Часу» вийшло 2 жовтня 1928 року. Його видавцем був інженер Максим Глинський. Газета з першого дня міцно стала на захист всього українського: мови, історії, культури.

Газета видавалась за часів правління Румунії, була заборонена в перший день приходу (28 червня 1940 року) на Буковину у відповідність з пактом Молотова - Ріббентропа Радянської армії та була відроджена в 1990 році за активної участі журналіста Кобевка Петра Дмитровича.

Газету неодноразово судили, розорювали, знищували, закривали.

Відроджений «Час» також зазнав і зазнає далі переслідування.

Влада подавала до суду на газету 54 рази. Журналістам газети погрожували, залякували. Тричі чинили напади на шеф-редактора. У 1995 році в робочий кабінет редактора вкинули бойову гранату. У 2004 році організували замах на життя. У редакції газети «Час» було впіймано і знешкоджено найманого кілера. Також була спроба створити фальшиву газету «Час2000».

У часи румунської окупації газета «Час» виходила щодня перед полуднем. Вона мала найвищий на той час тираж — 3000 примірників. Але газета мала фінансові труднощі. Щоб врятувати часопис, український аптекар з міста Вами Теодосій Глинський вклав усі свої заощадження і розорився. «Час» був врятований саме тоді, коли окупаційна румунська влада чинила репресії проти українців. На Буковині заборонили українські школи, пресу, партії, гуртки, товариства. А насамкінець була заборонена українська мова. На знак протесту проти репресій проґресивні студенти Чернівців у 1936 році під час святкування роковин Т. Г. Шевченка у філармонії засвистали румунський гімн. Влада жорстоко мстила. Десятки юних українців кинули до тюрми. На їх захист стала газета «Час» і тодішній редактор Лев Когут. Він мав адвокатську практику. І став на оборону проґресивних студентів. Майже рік тривали суди. Газета, українські студенти і Лев Когут виявилися переможцями. Юнаків визволили з тюрми. А «Час» став на межу закриття. Тоді румуни змусили редакцію газетну «шапку» публікувати румунською мовою. Але газета ще міцніше стала на українські національні позиції і не сходила з них аж до закриття більшовиками у 1940 році.

У період підготовки до 70-річчя газети дослідник і збирач старожитностей, автор багатьох статей і розвідок Іван Снігур віднайшов часопис, датований 28 червня 1940 року. До нього вважали, що останнє число «Часу» вийшло 27 червня. Саме у цей день у Кам'янці-Подільському була віддрукована більшовицька газета «Радянська Буковина». Її нові загарбники на другий день на танках привезли в область. Більшовики добре розуміли ціну і силу друкованого слова. Тому першими розгромили редакцію газети «Час» і заарештували редактора. Його відразу засудили до смертної кари і вивезли під Одесу. Друзям вдалося врятувати Лева Когута завдяки німецькій переселенській комісії. Його вивезли за кордон. Якийсь час Лев Когут жив у Австрії, де й помер після війни.

До знахідки Івана Снігура останнім числом виходу вважали 27 червня 1940 року. Але, як з'ясувалося згодом, за кілька годин до арешту Леву Когуту вдалося випустити «Час», датований 28 червня. Редакція та науковці вважають цю знахідку великим відкриттям. Та є ще одна деталь. У розпорядження редакції потрапила копія газети «Час», яка вийшла вже у підпіллі 29 червня 1940 року. На жаль, досі не відомо за яких умов, ким і як була випущена газета. Але там нема інформації з місця. Тільки новини інформаційних агентств. Тож такий «Час» могли зробити друкарі, технічні працівники, а не журналісти і редактори.

Monthly House Price Index statistics for October 2017 published
Average price of a property in Scotland up 2.8 per cent on previous year.
The latest publication of the monthly UK House Price Index (UK HPI) shows that the average price of a property in Scotland in October 2017 was £143,544 – an increase of 2.8 per cent on October in the previous year and a decrease of 0.7 per cent when compared to the previous month. This compares to a UK average of £223,807, which was an increase of 4.5 per cent compared to October in the previous year and a decrease of 0.5 per cent when compared to the previous month.
The volume of residential sales in Scotland in August 2017 was 9,282 – an increase of 7.4 per cent on August 2016 and an increase of 5.3 per cent on the previous month. This compares with annual decreases in sales volumes of 12.0 per cent in England, 3.4 per cent in Wales and 8.6 per cent in Northern Ireland (Quarter 3 - 2017).
Registers of Scotland Operations Director and Accountable Officer Janet Egdell said: "Average prices in Scotland continued their upward trend in October with an increase of 2.8 per cent when compared to October 2016. Average prices have been steadily increasing each month since March 2016, when compared with the same month of the previous year.
"Residential sales volumes increased in August. The annual increase of 7.4 per cent when compared with August 2016 in Scotland compares to decreases across the rest of the UK. The cumulative volume of sales for Scotland for the financial year to date – from April to August 2017 – was 45,341. This is an increase of 11.3 per cent on the equivalent year to date position for August 2016."
The top five local authorities in terms of August sales volumes were the City of Edinburgh (1,190 sales), Glasgow City (1,109 sales), Fife (632 sales), South Lanarkshire (553 sales) and North Lanarkshire (448 sales).
Average price increases were recorded in 29 out of 32 local authorities in October 2017, when comparing prices with the previous year. The biggest price increases were in Dumfries and Galloway and City of Edinburgh, where the average prices increased by 10.5 per cent to £129,885 and 8.5 per cent to £247,568 respectively. The biggest decreases were recorded in Inverclyde and Aberdeen City where prices fell by 4.0 per cent for both to £94,985 and £164,655 respectively.
Across Scotland, all property types showed an increase in average price in October 2017 when compared with the same month in the previous year. Semi-detached properties showed the biggest increase, rising by 4.2 per cent to £151,131. The average price of detached properties showed the smallest increase, 0.9 per cent to £248,482.
The average price in October 2017 for a property purchased by a first time buyer was £116,042 – an increase of 3.4 per cent compared to the same month in the previous year. The average price for a property purchased by a former owner occupier was £172,056 – an increase of 2.3 per cent on the previous year.
The average price for a cash sale was £132,489 – an increase of 2.9 per cent on the previous year – while the average price for property purchased with a mortgage was £148,669 – an increase of 2.8 per cent on the previous year.
For the full picture and detail access the UK HPI and the HPI Scotland. As with other indicators in the Housing Market, which typically fluctuate from month to month, it is important not to put too much weight on one month's set of house price data.
A blog post by Rhys Lewis from the Office for National Statistics has been published explaining why there are revisions to UK House Price Index data and what is being done to make provisional estimates more accurate. An accompanying article has also been published which focuses on the amendment made to the estimation model when calculating the provisional estimate in the UK HPI and the impact of this change.
On Thursday 23 November 2017, the Office for Statistics Regulation (OSR) confirmed the UK HPI will be awarded National Statistics status if 8 requirements are addressed. Further information about the OCR assessment is available in a news release published by our partner HM Land Registry.
We have published the Quality Assurance of Administrative Data (QAAD) documents for each of the data sources used in the UK House Price Index.
In addition to the enhancements to the UK HPI that were summarised in the anniversary news release, a comparison guide has been produced that compares the source data, index and methods of the different house price index measures that are published in the UK. This guide highlights the strengths and limitations of each measure to aid users in choosing the most appropriate index for their requirements.
Registers of Scotland also published our 10-year property market report in June, detailing trends in the land and property market over the last ten years.
For further information, please telephone Jacq Kelly on 0131 528 3738, 07825 388 120 or email communications@ros.gov.uk, or contact us at: Communications, Registers of Scotland, Meadowbank House, 153 London Road, Edinburgh, EH8 7AU.
The statistics have been produced in accordance with the Code of Practice for official statistics. The UK House Price Index is calculated by the Office for National Statistics and Land & Property Services Northern Ireland. Find out about the methodology used.
Data for the UK House Price Index is provided by HM Land Registry, Registers of Scotland, Land & Property Services Northern Ireland and the Valuation Office Agency.
Separate HPI releases are also published by HM Land Registry and Land & Property Services Northern Ireland, which focus on the figures for England and Wales and for Northern Ireland. The Office for National Statistics also publishes a monthly HPI statistical bulletin with commentary on the whole of the UK.
Download the data. Datasets are available as CSV files, or create your own reports using the UK HPI search tool.
The new UK HPI was launched in June 2016 initially as an experimental official statistic to allow for users to acclimatise to the format of the new HPI, to evaluate user reaction to the new data, evolve the publication of data further to meet user requirements and to further develop the data sources used in the production.
Further information about this experimental status and the improvements introduced to the UK HPI since its launch can be found in section 1.1 of About the UK House Price Index. Following the introduction of further improvements, scheduled to be implemented in 2017, the HPI working group will look to remove the experimental status and progress with the assessment of the UK House Price Index as a National Statistic.
Please note that the Northern Ireland Residential Property Price Index, used as a component source in the production of the new UK HPI remains an official statistic (i.e. this is not classified as experimental).
RoS began compiling quarterly statistics on the housing market with the completion of the extension of the Land Register to all counties in Scotland in April 2003. The differences in methodology between our quarterly statistics and the HPI are highlighted here. Charts are also available on our website to allow comparison between the two statistical outputs and to explain the key differences.
This publication covers statistics up to October 2017.↵
Note that all average prices reported from the UK HPI are geometric means, which will typically be closer to the median than the arithmetic mean. Also note that average price estimates for the most recent months are provisional figures and are likely to change when more recent data is incorporated into the index. Revision policies can be accessed here.↵
Due to a period of 2 to 8 weeks between completion and registration of sales, volume figures based on the month of date of entry are presented up to August because September and October figures may change when more recent sales applications data is received.↵
The volume of sales in July 2017 was 8,816 (revised figure), and in August 2016 was 8,641.↵
Cumulative volumes are based on revised HPI Scotland volumes figures (October 2017).↵
Na h-Eileanan Siar showed an increase of 11.6%. Local authority areas where sales volumes within the year to August 2017 represent less than 1 per cent of the all Scotland sales volume are excluded from the figures used for highlighting purposes due to the volatility of the market in these areas. While Inverclyde exceeded the 1 per cent, there were only 143 sales in this Local Authority area. The decrease in average price could therefore have been influenced by a number of sales at the lower end of the market.↵

Q: Entity Framework Migration From Command Line Is it possible doing some entity framework migration commands from a lightweight command line like visual studio cl?
I can't access to my remote sql express server from local visual studio so I can't add-migration and update-database commands. So if there would be a cl, I could solve my problem.

A: There is a Migrate.exe tool which comes with EF which you can run through the command line.
Documentation for it can be found at: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/data/jj618307.aspx

Research task
Qualitative methods have become well established in cultural, art and social sciences and in doing so provide indispensable contributions to research. For a long time now it has been impossible to imagine labour market and occupational research without the use of qualitative methods. With the expansion in evaluation research in the 1990s IAB has been systematically reflecting on and employing qualitative methods. The extension of research to include the basic income support scheme in 2005 brought new issues with it which made the use of qualitative methods increasingly more necessary. At IAB, qualitative research is not limited to the use of established procedures. Rather, again and again advanced approaches have been taken up and developed further, for instance in the area of qualitative panel methods or with the identification of ideal types at the interface between qualitative and quantitative analyses.
The "Qualitative Methods" Working Group in employment and occupational research, which was set up in 2012, intends to take up and promote these developments both within and outside the Institute. Among the fields of activity of this working group are the connection between qualitative and quantitative methods as well as scientific exchange on, and the testing of new methods.

The most useful feature a bicycle can have, after wheels, and maybe a seat — is a basket! Nothing makes it easier to live the bicycle lifestyle than simple, practical cargo capacity.
We don't always live in ways which are suited for panniers or luggage racks — especially if we're used to hopping in a car and tossing bags and kit in the floorboards or on the passenger seat. A basket can really augment a bicycle's ease of use – especially if you have some sort of bungee cord over the top of it, to keep things from jumping out en route. It's not practical to put a loaf of bread on a luggage rack, or in a pannier, where it might get crushed. Enter the basket!
Baskets aren't for every bike and every person, but they're a great place to start. A lot of inspiration can be drawn from various Flickr groups – like Lovely Bicycle Baskets, 2 Mile Challenge – By Bike, and the Rivendell Bicycles pool. Go see for yourself!
So, do you use a basket? What cargo-carrying method is your preference?
An update, January 2015: here's a similar article in French! Includes some great photos of various setups.

Beijing Walking Map
Yao Yue (??)
August 3, 2008 | 09:44 am
[Refer to points B, H on Beijing map]
Status: Prisoner of conscience, serving 12-year sentence
City: Beijing, Tsinghua University dorms [point B, Beijing Map]
Former Occupation: Graduate student, Tsinghua University
Date of Most Recent Arrest: January 1, 2001
Last Place Detained: Beijing Women's Prison, No. 8 Ward. Located at 12 Weiyonglu, Daxing District, Beijing. [point H, Beijing map]
Known Acquaintances Overseas: Winston (Wenyu) Liu, husband, currently residing in Calgary, Canada.
Yao Yue and her husband, Liu Wenyu, were both graduate students at Beijing's prestigious Tsinghua University. They were ranked highly in their classes, and respected by their peers and supervisors. They are also both Falun Gong practitioners.
On New Year's Day 2001, the two were in their dorm room at the university when police stormed in and arrested them. They had been downloading information about Falun Gong and the persecution from overseas websites and then emailing the information to others to explain the nature of their beliefs and to educate people about the persecution.
Yao was tortured through the night after their arrest. Eventually she signed a confession, resulting in a sentence of twelve years in prison. Liu was sentenced to three years, which he served most of before being released and returning to school. Eventually his supervisor helped him get into the University of Calgary in Canada. Liu then left China and moved to Canada where he now lives. Yao, however, remains imprisoned.

However, Tampa Bay has been lackluster so far against the lowly Jets. The team was trailing 24-10 at the time of Brown's outbursts.

Hernández at a signing for High Soft Lisp at Midtown Comics Times Square in Manhattan, April 24, 2010.
Gilberto Hernández
(1957-02-01) February 1, 1957 (age 62)
Area(s)
Notable works
Gilberto Hernández (born February 1, 1957),[1] usually credited as Gilbert Hernandez and also by the nickname Beto (Spanish: [ˈbeto]), is an American cartoonist. He is best known for his Palomar/Heartbreak Soup stories in Love and Rockets, an alternative comic book he shared with his brothers Jaime and Mario.
3 Influences
4 Critical analysis and reception
Gilbert Hernández was born and grew up in Oxnard, California[2] to a Mexican father and Texas-born mother.[3] He had five brothers and one sister, raised by their mother[4] and grandmother, as their father was rarely around.[5] They were exposed to comic books early in life through their mother, who passed on her love of the medium to her children. Young Gilbert read all he could, with the exception of romance comics. He set his passions on becoming a graphic storyteller, learning everything he could by studying what he found in comics, while developing his drawing skills through constant practice.[4]
The radio was always on at home, and he grew up listening to the rock and roll of The Beatles, The Beach Boys and The Rolling Stones. Hernandez found high school boring, sympathizing neither with the jock nor the nerd crowds, and called himself and his brothers "just regular rock 'n' roll guys", and would make his way to Los Angeles for excitement. His drawing skills were admired by his peers, who urged him to aim at a career in drawing superheroes.[6] Hernandez tried to learn more formal drawing skills, taking night classes in figurative drawing, but the apathy of his teacher drove him to quit.[7] He made the decision to focus on comics when he got into high school, and upon finishing high school he devoted what energy he could towards that goal.[4]
He was particularly enamored with the work that Jack Kirby and Steve Ditko produced for Marvel Comics, as well as Hank Ketcham's Dennis the Menace and the Archie comics line. His brother Mario was responsible for introducing Gilbert to the underground comix movement when he smuggled a copy of Zap Comix into the house. Another big influence on Hernández's work has been rock music, including punk, new wave and glitter rock. In particular, the "Brothers Hernández" were influenced by the energy and diversity of the late 1970s California punk and hardcore scene. Hernández has credited punk rock with giving him the confidence to start drawing his own comics.[8][9]
In the early 1980s, both Jaime and Gilbert created flyer and cover art for local bands. He also did the cover artwork for the record Limbo by Throwing Muses. The alternative rock band Love and Rockets was named after the Hernández brothers' comic book.[10]
The first wider recognition of Gilbert and his brothers' work occurred in 1982, after they had sent in a copy of their Love & Rockets comic, which up to that point they had been self publishing, to the Comics Journal, the foremost U.S. magazine of news and criticism pertaining to comic books and strips.[11] This led to their work being published by the then just established Fantagraphics books. Between 1996 and 2001, the Love & Rockets series was temporarily suspended, while each brother, including Gilbert, pursued solo projects. During this time Gilbert created New Love, Luba, and Luba's Comics and Stories. After its resumption, Love & Rockets continued to be published by Fantagraphics on an annual basis. In 2009, Gilbert published The Troublemakers, his second solo graphic novel with the publisher, inspired by pulp novels and heist films.[12] This has continued a trend he started with Chance in Hell and Speak of the Devil; all three books are faux adaptations of fictional B-movies.[13]
Love and Rockets #16 by Gilbert and Jaime Hernandez, 1985, Fantagraphics Books.
Cover illustration by Gilbert Hernández depicting two of his major Palomar characters, Heraclio and Carmen.
In 1981, Hernandez and his brothers Jaime and Mario published the first issue of Love and Rockets, which was quickly picked up by Fantagraphics Books, who republished the earliest materials in a new series starting in 1982.[14] The magazine-sized comic book became known for its genre-bending, its punk-rock DIY ethic, and its multiracial (particularly Mexican-American) characters.[15]
In 1983, Hernandez published the first part of the first Heartbreak Soup story in Love and Rockets #3. This began Palomar, Hernandez' magic realist magnum opus which was completed in 1996.[16] These stories take place in the fictional rural Latin American village of Palomar, where modern technology and rampant consumerism have yet to reach[16]—or even phone lines. The focus on the stories was on the characters, with their variety of personalities, rather than on action as in superhero comics, or on shock value as in underground comix.[17] Over the years, the Palomar stories became longer, more complex and more daring, especially in the long story "Human Diastrophism", in which a serial killer appears in Palomar, whose identity is only known by an unstable artist who slowly loses his mind.[18]
Unusual in the male-dominated comic-book world of the time, Love and Rockets gained a large female audience, largely due its sympathetically-portrayed and prominent female characters, who were not merely the objects of male lust.[5]
The first volume of Love and Rockets came to an end in 1996, with its fiftieth issue. Hernandez brought the Palomar stories to an end with a devastating earthquake, which briefly brings together many of the characters who had moved out of the village. The story closes with Luba and her family leaving for the United States to escape from hitmen.[5] Jaime and Gilbert went their separate ways. Gilbert continued with Luba and her family in series such as Luba, Luba's Comics and Stories, and edited to the children's anthology Measles before its early demise.[5]
Hernandez collaborated with Peter Bagge on the series Yeah! for DC Comics in 1999–2000, about "a teen girl rock band who performed in outer space", aimed at pre-teen girls. Bagge provided the script—the first time he worked on a project he hadn't written. The wearying pace at which he needed to work on the series, combined with a lack of reader interest, led to its cancellation after nine issues[19]
In 2001, Love and Rockets returned with a second volume, published roughly quarterly.[20] The new series was published in standard comic-book size,[21] and in it Hernandez focused on shorter stories that didn't rely on continuity. For his longer stories, he also began creating stand-alone graphic novels, such as Sloth (2006), about a teenager from a small town who wills himself into a coma.[20]
The second volume of Love and Rockets came to an end after twenty issues. A third volume, called Love and Rockets: New Stories began in 2008. While Jaime continued with his Locas characters in the series, Gilbert focused on new characters.[21]
Influences[edit]
Hernandez has said that, at a young age, he was particularly enamored with superhero comics—particularly 1960s Marvel Comics artists such as Jack Kirby's work on Fantastic Four[4] and Steve Ditko, and the cartoony art of DC Comics artists such as Carmine Infantino and Dick Sprang.[22] He also said he drew a large influence from humorously exaggerated, naturalistic artists such as Dan DeCarlo, Harry Lucey and Bob Bolling's work on various Archie Comics titles.[23] He was impressed by the longer, "epic" stories he found, for example, in Classics Illustrated, or in issue #2 of Charlton Premiere Comics[24]
Critical analysis and reception[edit]
The style of Gilbert's work has been described as magic realism or as "magic-realist take on Central American soap opera".[25] A common theme is the portrayal of independent women, and their strength, with the main example being Luba of Palomar. His stories often deal with issues relevant to Latino culture in the United States.[26] According to Dominican-American writer and MIT creative writing professor Junot Díaz, Gilbert Hernández ideally would be considered "one of the greatest American storytellers".[27]
Along with his brother Jaime, Gilbert has been named as one of Time's "Top 100 Next Wave Storytellers" in 2009.[26] He is also co-creator and co-star (with his wife, Carol Kovinick) of The Naked Cosmos,[26] an eccentric low-budget TV show about a cosmic prophet known as Quintas.

The Other Side of the Door Review
"Horror cliches and bad performances. And that's about it. "
By: Kim Perry | Movie Reviews | March 8, 2016
After the success of horror films such as The Babadook and The Witch, both of which provide deeper scares with its insight into the trials of human nature as well as the blood shown on the screen; The Other Side of the Door is the latest entry into this revival of psychological horror. Maria (Sarah Wayne Callies), Michael (Jeremy Sisto), and their daughter Lucy (Sofia Rosinsky) are an American family living in Mumbai trying to pick up the pieces of their lives after a personal tragedy. Maria's son Oliver died in a horrible accident and she has not stopped blaming herself since. After a failed suicide attempt, her housekeeper Piki (Suchitra Pillai) offers Maria a reprieve, by telling her that there is a supernatural way for her to say her final goodbyes to her son. The only caveat is that she cannot try to free her son from the other realm where his spirit is residing. Maria immediately travels this mysterious cave that Piki tells her about, and she attempts to say goodbye to Oliver. But her guilt will not let him go. Oliver's spirit returns to his former home and it is openly welcomed by Maria and Lucy. He interacts as if he's never left; but slowly his behavior delves into the sinister. And he does not come back alone. The Other Side of the Door unsuccessfully attempts to be deeper than it really is. Maria is obviously in agony over what happened to Oliver, but I never really connected with her pain. Considering that Lucy seems to be the same age that Oliver was when the accident took place, one can conclude that the accident did not happen that long ago, so her pain should be raw and fresh. But throughout all these horrible events that happen when Oliver returns she never really seems scared. It may be because she Maria is so deep into depression that she has nothing to lose, but anyone would be terrified if something unknown was following them. After her daughter is attacked by Oliver, she still does not get the clue that Oliver is not her son anymore. She still goes out of her way to try to reason with him, When Piki recognizes the unusual events happening, she immediately tells Maria that Oliver is evil, and she still does not react. Sarah Wayne Callies's performance is weak - she never really connected with her character. She also continuously makes poor choices throughout the film. The film also contains entirely too many jump scares, completely unnecessary for a film like this. Her husband, Michael is left in the dark most of the time and does not really have much to offer accept coming in from time to time to comfort his wife. The daughter's (Sofia Rosinsky) performance is pretty good, she manages to sidestep the annoying little sister clichés and she is actually quite creepy in her last few scenes. The Other Side of the Door is awful. The film tries to attempt to provide a message about pain and loss, but honestly the characters just do not seem sad enough. Nor are they very scared. They just seem annoyed and self involved. There is nothing new that is offered here, just a standard "the dead do not come back to life the same." But based on the performances you cannot really tell the dead from the living.
Decent Premise
Horrible Performances
Stupid characters
Too many jump scares

Coleen Rooney stamps her authority with 'tough new rules' after Wayne's court drama
Alison Ring
Coleen Rooney is putting the foot down at home, imposing a new set of rules on her husband Wayne following his drink-driving ban.
According to reports, the pregnant mum-of-three is preparing to crack the whip in the hope that she can get her marriage back on track laying down some must-follow guidelines for her husband.
Despite the Everton footballer's court date and alleged infidelities, Coleen is said to have five rules in mind which will help the couple work through the issues.
Coleen is said to have set down some new rules for Wayne to abide by. Pic: Instagram
She supposedly wants Wayne to cut down on his drinking, and wants them to spend more time together as husband and wife.
A source told Heat magazine, 'Deep down, Coleen doesn't want to divorce Wayne. She loves him and thinks it's best for the boys that they stay together. And there's the unborn baby, too.'
She wants him to cut down on his drinking and spend more time with the family. Pic: Instagram
The anonymous insider added, 'But this doesn't mean she's forgive him - she's suggested some guidelines she thinks will help the marriage, and she wants Wayne to stick to them.'
Her other 'rules' include spending time together as a family, go on more holidays together and spend time together with their other couple friends.
The pregnant mother-of-three reportedly wants to save their marriage. Pic: REX
Following his court hearing on Monday, Rooney's lawyer acknowledged that his client had 'let himself, his family and his fans down.'
In a statement he said, 'I have already said sorry to my family, my manager and chairman and everyone at Everton FC. Now I want to apologise to all the fans and everyone else who has followed and supported me throughout my career.'
The footballer arrived alone at Stockport Magistrates Court yesterday, his wife Coleen was not present at the hearing. Pic: REX
He has been banned from driving for two years as well as being handed 100 unpaid hours of community service.
Laura Simpson, 29, was partying with Wayne rooney the night he was pulled over for drink-driving. Pic: Instagram
The 31-year-old was pulled over by police on September 2, while driving party girl Laura Simpson's black VW Beetle, and was found to be over the drink-driving limit.
He has been fined two week's wages by his club Everton FC.

5 Amusing Things to Do at the Port Townsend Victorian Festival


Because there is much to see and do in Cinque Terre, Italy, you'll want to plan enough time there.
Literally translated as the 'Five Lands', the Cinque Terre is a colorful collection of five picturesque seaside villages located on the Italian Riviera. It is considered a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is widely famous among Italians and foreign tourists alike.
Cinque Terre is famous for its hiking trails, as the entire region is covered with twisting paths that take you from one village to the next.
The most popular hiking trail is known as the Sentiero Azzurro or the Blue Trail. You can start your hike in Riomaggiore, where the pathways are paved and easier going, and then work your way north toward Monterosso. Although, if you're looking to avoid the crowds, take the Sentiero Rosso (the Red Trail) instead. It's a much longer hike, but very doable if you take it in small sequences.
While it is perfectly doable to hike through all five villages in one day, you should take your time, as the terrain can be quite demanding for beginners. Also, why hurry when the view is incredibly spectacular?
You can experience a whole different view of this gorgeous region by hopping on a ferry that offers you a picturesque view of Cinque Terre's beautiful seaside towns. There is one ferry that makes regular trips between four of the five villages, and also provides access to the nearby towns of La Spezia, Levanto, Portofino and Portovenere, as well as to the island of Palmaria.
Especially for history buffs, the Museo delle Cinque Terre Antiche in Riomaggiore is a must visit. This small museum, which is housed in an old restored wine cellar, takes you through the local traditions, regional agriculture, and the long history of this ancient region.
In addition, everybody who visits Cinque Terre raves about the food, and for good reason! It is simple, fresh, and delicious. Anchovies are a local staple in Cinque Terre, and you'll find them in antipasti, on top of pizzas, or fried up as an appetizer. Fresh basil pesto is another local specialty. In fact, the origins of this dish can be traced back to Liguria.
For a really special treat, try the region's light brown pasta called 'trofie' made from wheat or chestnut flour, with a fresh pesto genovese. And if you happen to find yourself hungry in Corniglia, make your way to Miele di Corniglia — a delicious creamy gelato made with local honey.
Women traveling together will find that most of the best days they'll ever spend in Cinque Terre always have good food in the picture.
The Tuscan region is teeming with local wine and beautiful vineyards, and Cinque Terre is no exception. On a hot afternoon, the crisp white Cinque Terre wine makes for a perfect choice.
Women traveling together should definitely sign up for one of the many wine tasting tours in Cinque Terre, Italy. The terraced vineyards are lovely, and the local wines are incredible.
Buy a Cinque Terre, Italy card. This allows you unlimited access to all five villages on train and trails.
Bring good, comfortable shoes for this area. Especially for women traveling together, stilettos shouldn't be an option.
Try to fit in a day trip to Santa Margherita Ligure, Portofino or Portovenere.
Visit in July or August, as it can get too stifling and crowded.
Arrive without a room reservation.
Worry too much about picking the right town to settle down in. All, except Corniglia, are within a few minutes train ride of each other.
Hopefully, you can see why you'd want to include Cinque Terre, Italy in your travel plans.


Time to release those unwanted and unused items! We will have a Garage Sale on Saturday, October 20th at 7041 Amador Valley Blvd, Dublin from 8:00am to noon.
All proceeds benefit Unity of Tri Valley. Contact Nancy Iskander for more information or the church office at 925-829-2733.

I don't understand something about the obit and the story of the LP dawn that it told.
Jack Mullin was out west in 1947 holding demonstrations and using his Magnetophones with the Bing
Crosby radio program. The concept of magnetic tape was well known in the broadcast world. In fact,
the Edward R. Murrow album "I Can Hear It Now" was produced using tape editing and the 78RPM album
includes a lengthy production note describing this newfangled (at CBS News) editing technique.
So none of this trickled over to Bridgeport CT? They really were doing disk-to-disk dubs in 1948?
Why??? The Ampex 200 came out that year, the 200A soon afterward. Surely Bill Paley's empire could
afford a few tape machines. Closer to Bridgeport, Fairchild was making tape machines by 1948 and
perhaps earlier (I don't have a clear timeframe as to when Fairchild first produced magnetic
recorders, but a 1948 article about Reeves Studios in NYC shows Fairchild's "new" tape machines in
service and one is pictured on the magazine cover).
So again, why the complex machinations of disk-to-disk dubbing? BTW, RIP Howard Scott and he did
indeed come up with an ingenius if hardest way possible to solve the problem of matching up the
78RPM sides.
Ironically, the man who INVENTED the magnetic tape splicing block, at least the US iteration of the
concept, was CBS News producer/editor Joel Tall (EdiTall).
-- Tom Fine
PS -- Mullin wasn't the only guy to bring a working Magnetophone home. The BBC captured some of them
and did detailed dissections, and Col. Ranger brought home at least one. My bet is Fairchild's
engineers got their hands on one very soon after the war or else how could their development keep a
similar pace to Mullin/Ampex? There were at least dozens of Magetophones made during WWII, if not
hundreds, perhaps more. The whole story of disk-dubbing for the new LP medium would make more sense
if Columbia had been a little company not connected to a broadcast network and not located in what
was then the East Coast industrial corridor. I'm not doubting the disk-dubbing happened, I just have
trouble believing no one at Columbia knew about tape or had access to tape machines before the dawn
of the LP. And if they knew and had access, why would they do a complex disk-to-disk dubbing method?

December's bull talk that 2011 would be great for investors is running out of steam a few weeks into January.
So far, earnings results are mostly falling short of the sell-side hype. J.P. Morgan's Tom Lee, the equity strategist, told clients Friday that earnings-per-share reports that beat estimates are coming in at 68%, below the past four-quarter average of 74%.
These are the early days of earnings season, but it is hard to ignore what is happening in the financial sector. That would be the sector that, just a few weeks ago, investment-bank bulls said was poised to carry the stock market higher, due to improving consumer spending, fewer credit defaults and all sorts of other data that analysts monitor.
Yet Citigroup (ticker: C) reported crummy results. Everyone in the options market was betting that the stinky stock's earnings would push it permanently past $5. Instead the earnings data dunked the stock below that mark, making it untouchable to many major investors whose investment charters prohibit them from owning stocks below $5.
EVEN MIGHTY GOLDMAN SACHS (GS) took a hit. The wonder boys missed their revenue estimate, which often bodes poorly for others. If Goldman has a hard time making money—and Goldman is the market—imagine what that means for everyone else.
No one really has to imagine too much, thanks to Bank of America (BAC), viewed by many top traders as always in the wrong place at the wrong time. The megabank's fourth-quarter loss widened to $1.2 billion from $124 million a year earlier.
A senior executive at a top exchange—who must stay anonymous as ours was a private talk—said he noticed a distinct lack of the trading waves in exchange markets that usually are generated in response to big action on private-trading networks. The executive said that decrease could foretell difficulties not yet widely recognized.
"Are woodland creatures seeking higher ground in front of a tsunami? Or do we buy this dip?" J.P. Morgan's Lee asked clients in a Friday note. He wants to buy the dip, which makes good sense provided that investors protect portfolios with options that will increase in value if the Chicago Board Options Exchange's Volatility Index (VIX), recently at about 18, spikes higher.
ONE SELDOM-DISCUSSED REALITY of the modern options market is that the computers that control pricing models sometimes get out of tune with market reality. As stocks grind higher, as occurred in the fourth quarter, the models anticipate lower implied volatility because stock prices have advanced in the past. The past few days saw institutional investors buying bearish puts to protect against a decline, but the action wasn't significant enough to cause a rapid increase in implied volatility.
A lesson of the past year is that wise investors buy volatility when it seems too low, and sell when it is too high. The volatility metronome also works for timing stock trades.
Risk premiums, as measured by the Chicago Board Options Exchange Volatility Index, are too low now, given the cross-currents roiling the surface of the stock market. This typically marks a good time to buy defensive index options to hedge against broad-market declines and volatility spikes.
With VIX around 18, Jim Strugger, MKM Partners' derivatives strategist, is telling clients to buy VIX Feb. 21 calls and sell VIX Feb. 30 calls to protect against an earnings-season volatility spike that could temporarily interrupt the bull advance.
"After being bullish on equities since late August, and riding this volatility wave lower, we're saying, 'get ready for a VIX spike to 30,' " Strugger says.

Louisiana Media Group Studios was birthed in Mandeville, Louisiana in 2011. What began as a music ministry for the greater New Orleans/Northshore area in 2010, and an early rehearsal room for "Counting the Day," a local Christian band, quickly grew into much more. Local bands poured in to use the space to rehearse, track, and in most cases produce a record.

Plan for second Beijing airport in the works
Beijing Airport authorities are planning a feasibility study for a second airport for the city.
The facility is likely to be located in the southern part of Beijing, local newspapers have quoted them saying.
Beijing Capital International Airport (BCIA) opened in March 2008 designed to handle 86 million passengers annually. However, passenger throughput has reached 65.4 million last year, a figure predicted to rise to 75 million this year.
The latest report by the Geneva-based Airports Council International even ranked it the world's third busiest airport, putting it behind Atlanta and London's Heathrow in terms of domestic and international passenger numbers in 2009 (see news)

Q: Mock a lambda parameter in Moq I would like to mock this action in Moq:
Action<string, long> cursorPersister;

I have tried to implemented in this way:
var cursorPersister = new Mock<Action<string, long>>();
cursorPersister.Setup(cp => cp.Invoke(It.IsAny<string>(), It.IsAny<long>()));

cursorPersister.Verify();

However it does not work. Program freeze on the line where I call Setup(...).
Anyone can explain this and offer an alternative approach?

A: Problem solved.
Instead of
cursorPersister.Setup(cp => cp.Invoke(It.IsAny<string>(), It.IsAny<long>()));

Use
cursorPersister.Setup(cp => cp(It.IsAny<string>(), It.IsAny<long>()));

A: Just create a method with a string and long parameters and pass it instead of the mock. Why do you want to mock it?

Author : Simon Sinek
Publisher : Penguin
The inspiring, life-changing bestseller by the author of LEADERS EAT LAST and TOGETHER IS BETTER. In 2009, Simon Sinek started a movement to help people become more inspired at work, and in turn inspire their colleagues and customers. Since then, millions have been touched by the power of his ideas, including more than 28 million who've watched his TED Talk based on START WITH WHY -- the third most popular TED video of all time. Sinek starts with a fundamental question: Why are some people and organizations more innovative, more influential, and more profitable than others? Why do some command greater loyalty from customers and employees alike? Even among the successful, why are so few able to repeat their success over and over? People like Martin Luther King Jr., Steve Jobs, and the Wright Brothers had little in common, but they all started with WHY. They realized that people won't truly buy into a product, service, movement, or idea until they understand the WHY behind it. START WITH WHY shows that the leaders who've had the greatest influence in the world all think, act, and communicate the same way -- and it's the opposite of what everyone else does. Sinek calls this powerful idea The Golden Circle, and it provides a framework upon which organizations can be built, movements can be led, and people can be inspired. And it all starts with WHY.

SPIN® -Selling
Author : Neil Rackham
Publisher : Routledge
True or false? In selling high-value products or services: 'closing' increases your chance of success; it is essential to describe the benefits of your product or service to the customer; objection handling is an important skill; open questions are more effective than closed questions. All false, says this provocative book. Neil Rackham and his team studied more than 35,000 sales calls made by 10,000 sales people in 23 countries over 12 years. Their findings revealed that many of the methods developed for selling low-value goods just don't work for major sales. Rackham went on to introduce his SPIN-Selling method. SPIN describes the whole selling process: Situation questions Problem questions Implication questions Need-payoff questions SPIN-Selling provides you with a set of simple and practical techniques which have been tried in many of today's leading companies with dramatic improvements to their sales performance.

Author : Vanessa Van Edwards
Do you feel awkward at networking events? Do you wonder what your date really thinks of you? Do you wish you could decode people? You need to learn the science of people. As a human behavior hacker, Vanessa Van Edwards created a research lab to study the hidden forces that drive us. And she's cracked the code. In Captivate, she shares shortcuts, systems, and secrets for taking charge of your interactions at work, at home, and in any social situation. These aren't the people skills you learned in school. This is the first comprehensive, science backed, real life manual on how to captivate anyone—and a completely new approach to building connections. Just like knowing the formulas to use in a chemistry lab, or the right programming language to build an app, Captivate provides simple ways to solve people problems. You'll learn, for example… · How to work a room: Every party, networking event, and social situation has a predictable map. Discover the sweet spot for making the most connections. · How to read faces: It's easier than you think to speed-read facial expressions and use them to predict people's emotions. · How to talk to anyone: Every conversation can be memorable—once you learn how certain words generate the pleasure hormone dopamine in listeners. When you understand the laws of human behavior, your influence, impact, and income will increase significantly. What's more, you will improve your interpersonal intelligence, make a killer first impression, and build rapport quickly and authentically in any situation—negotiations, interviews, parties, and pitches. You'll never interact the same way again.
The Art of Asking
Author : Amanda Palmer
Publisher : Grand Central Publishing
Category : Self-Help
FOREWORD BY BRENE BROWN and POSTSCRIPT FROM BRAIN PICKINGS CREATOR MARIA POPOVA Rock star, crowdfunding pioneer, and TED speaker Amanda Palmer knows all about asking. Performing as a living statue in a wedding dress, she wordlessly asked thousands of passersby for their dollars. When she became a singer, songwriter, and musician, she was not afraid to ask her audience to support her as she surfed the crowd (and slept on their couches while touring). And when she left her record label to strike out on her own, she asked her fans to support her in making an album, leading to the world's most successful music Kickstarter. Even while Amanda is both celebrated and attacked for her fearlessness in asking for help, she finds that there are important things she cannot ask for-as a musician, as a friend, and as a wife. She learns that she isn't alone in this, that so many people are afraid to ask for help, and it paralyzes their lives and relationships. In this groundbreaking book, she explores these barriers in her own life and in the lives of those around her, and discovers the emotional, philosophical, and practical aspects of THE ART OF ASKING. Part manifesto, part revelation, this is the story of an artist struggling with the new rules of exchange in the twenty-first century, both on and off the Internet. THE ART OF ASKING will inspire readers to rethink their own ideas about asking, giving, art, and love.

The Coaching Habit
Author : Michael Bungay Stanier
Publisher : Box of Crayons Press
Coaching is an essential skill for leaders. But for most busy, overworked managers, coaching employees is done badly, or not at all. They're just too busy, and it's too hard to change. But what if managers could coach their people in 10 minutes or less? In Michael Bungay Stanier's The Coaching Habit, coaching becomes a regular, informal part of your day so managers and their teams can work less hard and have more impact. Coaching is an art and it's far easier said than done. It takes courage to ask a question rather than offer up advice, provide an answer, or unleash a solution. Giving another person the opportunity to find their own way, make their own mistakes, and create their own wisdom is both brave and vulnerable. It can also mean unlearning our ''fix it'' habits. In this practical and inspiring book, Michael shares seven transformative questions that can make a difference in how we lead and support. And, he guides us through the tricky part - how to take this new information and turn it into habits and a daily practice. -Brené Brown, author of Rising Strong and Daring Greatly Drawing on years of experience training more than 10,000 busy managers from around the globe in practical, everyday coaching skills, Bungay Stanier reveals how to unlock your peoples' potential. He unpacks seven essential coaching questions to demonstrate how---by saying less and asking more--you can develop coaching methods that produce great results. - Get straight to the point in any conversation with The Kickstart Question - Stay on track during any interaction with The AWE Question - Save hours of time for yourself with The Lazy Question, and hours of time for others with The Strategic Question - Get to the heart of any interpersonal or external challenge with The Focus Question and The Foundation Question - Finally, ensure others find your coaching as beneficial as you do with The Learning Question A fresh, innovative take on the traditional how-to manual, the book combines insider information with research based in neuroscience and behavioural economics, together with interactive training tools to turn practical advice into practiced habits. Dynamic question-and-answer sections help identify old habits and kick-start new behaviour, making sure you get the most out of all seven chapters. Witty and conversational, The Coaching Habit takes your work--and your workplace--from good to great.

The trust in charge of the Whittington Hospital faces a mountain to climb as it commits to making £16.5million of cuts over the next year – after seeing an unexpected deficit of over £7million.
Whittington Health admitted it has "significant financial challenges" ahead as it seeks to make heavy cuts and savings in the Archway hospital's acute and cancer care, as well as its surgical department.
The trust board had intended to break-even by the end of the 2014/15 financial year but this month reported a £7.3m deficit – after what the deputy finance director Ursula Grueger said had been a position "underpinned by non-recurrent resources".
It now predicted to the NHS Trust Development Authority (TDA) a deficit of £19.5m by the end of 2015/16, but said it hoped it would be "no greater than £14.5m".
The figures are reliant on the trust making savings of £16.5m over the same period – more than £2m of which is intended to come from the Integrated Care and Acute Medicine (ICAM) department, which includes the hospital's A&E.
The Trust has been struggling to balance its finances for some time now. It was just over two years ago that the trust's previous administration prompted thousands of people to march in the streets after it proposed cuts to beds and a sell-off of hospital buildings in a bid to save money.
The protests forced bosses of the hospital in Archway to abandon its plans.
Today, a new Whittington Health board met and discussed in detail its current and projected financial position.
Simon Pleydell, chief executive of Whittington Health, said in his report to the board: "We face a challenging financial plan. We believe this is a realistic plan that can be delivered and will improve the run rate of the Trust and move us closer to achieving financial balance.
A spokesman for Whittington Health added: "This year the Trust enters a challenging year financially with a £7.3m deficit for last year and a planned deficit of £19.5m for 2015/16.
"Being financially stable is an absolute priority for the Trust, alongside the delivery of safe and high quality care for our patients.

What Happened When I Took My 10-Year-Old Son on a Meditation Cruise
Was bringing my active 10-year-old on a trip for adults brilliant—or disastrous?
By Judy Koutsky
Eric Lindberg/Courtesy UnCruise
You've heard it everywhere from CNN to the New York Times: Stress and anxiety levels in kids have reached such an all-time high, many schools are teaching mindfulness and meditation in the classroom to help combat the effects. With kids on overload from too many activities and commitments, meditation offers them the chance to slow down and quiet the mind. My son, Jack, started learning these calming practices in his (progressive) preschool, but by fourth grade, I thought it would be good for a refresher course. Like almost all his ten-year-old friends, he, too, has a packed itinerary (hockey, basketball, soccer, chess, homework every night), and I wanted to give him the chance to be able to experience things without being on autopilot. What better place to learn than on vacation, when you're away from daily distractions and pressures, and generally more willing to try new things?
Unlikely as it may sound, I opted to take him on a cruise—one in which he was the only child on the trip. There were a lot of things about this option that appealed: We sailed with UnCruise, so named because it has a unique take on cruising. You travel on small ships (no more than 100 people; some with less than 30), so you really get to know the other passengers. Activities focus on hands-on active excursions (think snorkeling and hiking), and there's no WiFi (that was a big one). UnCruise had just announced their first wellness itinerary in La Paz, Mexico, on the Sea of Cortez focusing on meditation, mindfulness, and yoga. Plus, it's got an active adventure every day (something both Jack and I really, really love). An adventure cruise—in January, no less—with sunrise yoga, meditation kayaking, and mindfulness hikes? I figured I'd give it a try and see if this leap would result in either a great trip…or a disastrous holiday.

Why kids need mindfulness
"Now more than ever, kids need to use a vacation to unplug and destress,"says Dr. Lisa Long, a psychologist in private practice in Charlotte, N.C. "As parents, we need to encourage our kids to view meditation and mindfulness as an activity of daily living, just like brushing their teeth or hair."
My son was skeptical. "Do I have to wake up before the sun every morning for yoga?" he asked. But that's the nice thing about a seven-night cruise. You don't have to do every mindful activity—you can pick and choose. So Jack did yoga a few times during the week (his favorite was beach yoga), but he also took part in some mindfulness activities—like our meditation kayak excursion, where we did less talking and more listening (to the sound of the birds, waves, and wind).
"Taking time during vacations to have quiet, peaceful moments to relax can help everyone return with renewed energy," says Dr. Rebecca Isbell, a pediatrician and mother of three.
But can practicing mindfulness on vacation transfer to stressful situations that might take place back home at school? "Whether it's visiting relatives, packing in busy sight-seeing while discovering a new city, or driving across the country, many vacations give us the challenge and the opportunity of coping with stress," Dr. Isbell says. "Using these times to practice being present and mindful can be helpful in learning to apply those skills to other situations, whether it be work or school."
A day after one of our mindfulness walks, Jack referenced his third eye (something mentioned in previous talks—when I was pretty sure he was day-dreaming rather than listening). It just goes to show that exposing kids—or anyone, for that matter—to mindful practices can have a way of working through osmosis.
"Helping your kids maintain a consistent practice of mindfulness/meditation helps them feel grounded, and will also help them enjoy the vacation to the fullest," Dr. Long says. "A kid who is truly mindful will be less likely to ask 'are we there yet?' or 'what do we get to do next?' because they will be focused on the present fun."

Taking a child on a trip with mostly adults—good idea or crazy?
My friends thought I was nuts taking my son on a cruise where he'd be the only kid. While UnCruise gets lots of kids during school break and summer vacation, it's less common during the school year. Having said that, kids age eight and older can join UnCruise and go along on all the regular activities, such as hiking, snorkeling, skiff excursions, paddle boarding, and kayaking.
Once they realized they had a high-energy ten-year-old on board, the guides even adjusted the excursions. They let my son run ahead (he was the mountain goat of the group) when we did the gorgeous ridge hike in Isla San Francisco—following the trails along red bluffs and desert beach, among cardon cactus and Palo Verde trees. They let Jack lead the burro ride through the canyons and hills of Bahía Agua Verde, against the backdrop of the Sierra de La Giganta range. La Paz is home to the Sea of Cortez, where more than 800 species of fish can be found, thus famously nicknamed "The Aquarium of the World" by Jacques Cousteau. The guides answered his dozens (and dozens) of questions when we did the tidal pool excursion, where Jack uncovered many creatures hiding under rocks in the water. Jack felt like an explorer in one of the most diverse seas in the world.
Though he was the only child, instead of that fact making him feel conscious (or bored), the reverse happened. The other guests were only too happy to talk to Jack—everyone was asking him about his favorite excursions—and he, in turn, behaved accordingly and instigated conversation, asking thoughtful questions of others. I soon realized that taking a child on a vacation where there weren't many other kids is a wonderful way to let that child get a lot of attention and focus, which is something any child with a sibling rarely gets. Jack and his brother are active boys, so my role on vacation is often refereeing fights. Having just one child—not only from my family, but on the cruise—inadvertently made Jack act differently. There was no whining, fighting, or negotiating. I saw a mature side to my son that often doesn't surface on vacation.
There's something to be said for doing all of this on a cruise, and not another type of trip, too. Because the ships are small and there's communal seating at meals, we sat with different people every day and really got to know them and the staff. My kids and I love cruising: we love the idea of unpacking once and sleeping in the same spot, but waking up to a new adventure every day. At a resort, we wouldn't be able to get the seven distinct adventures and experiences we had on a cruise. Plus, most resorts that focus on wellness retreats really target adults; many don't allow kids under a certain age (certainly not an energetic ten-year-old).
Jocelyn Pride/UnCruise
Whether it was spotting puffer fish while snorkeling in Los Islotes, swimming with sea lions in Isla Partida, or being surrounded by dozens of gray whales at Bahía Magdalena, Jack and I had an amazing vacation together. One of my favorite moments was at the end of each day, when we sat with our hot chocolate and watched the sun explode with colors as it set deep into the mountains and sea. We tried to practice what we learned about being mindful and present: We lingered on the taste of the chocolate on our tongues. We noticed the warm breeze on our cheeks. We watched the dolphins racing against the boat.
