N26 rolls out crypto trading in Germany, Switzerland, Belgium, Portugal and Ireland
January 17, 2023 5:27 pm UTC, abdelaziz Fathi
European digital bank N26 announced on Tuesday it will expand its crypto trading service gradually over the coming weeks.
Starting with Austria as the first market in 2022, N26 said it would provide the crypto product for customers in Germany, Switzerland, Belgium, Portugal and Ireland. The service, called N26 Crypto, is set to become available to the clients in these countries over the next six months and will initially include more than 100 digital tokens.
N26's customers need to complete identity verification and eligibility checks before they can access cryptocurrency trading in the app's 'finances' tab.
The challenger bank, which has more than €6 billion of deposits in customer accounts, also plans to roll out the feature to users in other European markets. It will eventually expand its token offering to almost 200 cryptocurrencies.
Gilles BianRosa, chief product officer at N26, said: "The N26 banking experience has always been built around the customers' needs, with features that make money management easy. With N26 Crypto we have created a simple, intuitive product that integrates seamlessly into N26′s fully-regulated banking experience where one's bank balance, savings, and investment portfolio sit side by side – with cryptocurrencies being the first asset class we intend to offer."
N26 co-founder and Co-CEO, Valentin Stalf said the company wasn't a latecomer to the crypto rush as it remains a requested and interesting asset class. However, cryptocurrencies were deep in the red throughout 2022 as investors fled the market after FTX's collapse and also amid fears over higher interest rates and liquidity constraints.
"Market fluctuations aside, cryptocurrencies continue to remain a requested and interesting asset class for investors and a growing part of the financial system. Cryptocurrency trading is often the entrypoint to investing for a new generation of investors who are looking to explore ways to grow their wealth," added Stalf.
Behind the scenes, N26's crypto offering is backed by Bitpanda which handles trading and custody for digital assets. Founded in 2014, BitPanda is a retail broker for crypto assets, including more than 30 cryptocurrencies . The company claims to have onboarded more than 2.5 million users and plans to expand into real-world assets to build out a pan-European offering, with the expansion already started in France, Spain and Turkey.
BlackRock, the world's largest asset manager, has increased its stake in Silvergate Bank, a crypto-friendly lender that counts major crypto exchanges like Coinbase and Kraken as clients.

Morning Has Broken recently shared the importance of using a "vegetable wash" rather than relying on tap water alone to remove pesticides, etc. from produce. I just happened to be in a health food store that same week, and decided to buy some. Grape Seed Extract, to be precise, also called: GSE.
I love this new approach to health! I swear our veggies and fruits taste much better! According to the instructions, I fill my clean kitchen sink with cold water, add 30 drops of GSE and start cleaning my fruits and veggies. The added bonus, is we no longer have to wash individual pieces of fruit/veggies at breakfast or snacktime, and my long-shelved Tupperware is finally getting used as refrigerator storage! 🙂 I transfer my big bags of apples to two-gallon ziplocks and we're good to go!
You can get vegetable scrubs at many health food type stores such as The Vitamin College, Whole Food Markets, Wild Oats, if you have any of those near you. Unfortunately, we don't here, so I stock up when I get the chance. Anyway, these washes clean the vegetables better than plain water and should get off some of the junk they spray on them when you can't buy organic. Any vegetable with high surface area and thin skin like broccoli, cauliflower, lettuce, spinach, apples…you get the idea will absorb more of the pesticides, etc.
Now the lady at the health food store, and also, the link I shared above to the GSE info page, stated that they also wash their meat in a sinkful of this GSE water! I haven't done that yet, mostly because I'm a bit too frugal wrap my mind around doing this every time I fix meat for a meal. But being able to wash all my veggies and fruits at once seems like a good deal. I know the option is there to spray your foods with this, that may be the way I'll go concerning meat.
Some sources say warm water and vinegar will get most of the residue and that whatever method you use, certain chemicals will not wash off. If you can afford to buy organic, do it. Otherwise, wash and hope for the best, or peel everything! If you think this is a little over the top, read up on the huge amount of pesticides consumed by America's children, and how it ups their chances for childhood diseases like leukemia!
Wow! I thought washing my lettuce and other veggies with hot water would help. That's scary.
You're welcome! My thanks go to Deborah, because otherwise I'd still be washing in tap water alone!
Well…I haven't resorted to washing veggies in my washer…yet. I'd be a little afraid of the residue left from the detergent, etc.! Not to mention…what cycle is that?! Things might come out a little bruised. But, thanks for quoting that from my comments.
Yes, it might be good for washing off bacteria on meats…but unless you're buying organic meat or raising it yourself without growth hormones, antibiotics, etc. the meat has probably worse things INSIDE. The cooking will probably do in the bacteria, but not the other stuff!
Are the fruit washes expensive? Shaklee has a product called Basic H that we put (diluted)in a spray bottle and just pray, rinse and eat our fruits and veggies. Though it's hard to believe it's getting the gunk off when you can't see it.
My bottle of Nutribiotic GSE liquid concentrate was around $8 I think…for 4 fl.oz. It sounds tiny, but it still feels full…using it drop by drop added to water really makes it go a long way. The info that came with it said it could be added to water in a spray bottle and used the way you mentioned. Your Shaklee sounds like it has something for everything! What is the main ingredient in the Basic H?
Not sure the ingredients, probably should look into it, but it's a concentrated organic cleaner. We use it to clean our counters and such. It contains linear alcohol alkoxylates, no phosphates or nitrates. The sulfactants (cleaning agents)are biodegradable and break down naturally to simpler compounds which is better for the environment.
If I find out more, I'll let you know. If you're interested in trying Shaklee, all you do is join the membership club (I can set that up for you) and you buy what you need. We've used only Shaklee cleaning products, and most of their vitamins for years and we've been pretty healthy, so we're sticking with it!
Is there an annual membership fee? I'm interested, but financially probably won't be able to take it too far at this point.
My GSE also can be used to clean counters, etc. It's a bioflavenoid derived from grapefruit, completely organic, etc.
When I use my fruit and vegetable wash, I usually spray it on, let it sit a couple minutes and then fill a big bowl with cold tap water and swish everything around. I then wash the rest of the vegetables in the same water and I do rinse. For those of you that wonder if your vegetables are getting clean…my bowl of water is always VERY dirty. Much more so than just plain water. I make a huge salad just about every day, so I wash them like this.
Thanks for sharing that, Deborah…it does get dirty.
Btw,we had strawberries the other night, cleaned the new way, and just like you said…there were never better tasting strawberries! Wow!

How a pension rule may affect your NHS care
We often see news headlines where the NHS and pension schemes are in the spotlight, but this is usually to do with the benefits NHS employees will receive, not how it will affect your care.
But, high earning NHS staff, such as Doctors are being dissuaded from taking extra shifts because they could face tax charges on their pensions.
In 2016, the pension taper rule was introduced. This meant that unlike the majority of the population who could put 100% of earnings up to £40,000 into their pension each year, higher earners contribution allowance gradually reduces down to just £10,000 per year.
Fraught with problems, the taper calculation relies on you knowing your taxable earning for the year. This can be unrealistic for many people, who may have variable income or bonuses and certainly for those in the NHS who are offered additional working hours.
The Department of Health and Social Care are addressing this problem, planning to introduce measures which will enable staff to have greater control over the value of contributions in to their schemes, and making it more flexible throughout the tax year.
Of course, criticisms are abounding. In the NHS, staff are claiming a 'postcode lottery' as it's up to each employer as to whether the reduction of the employer's contributions into the pension scheme are paid via other means – i.e. they could still be taking a pay cut
And, what about all the other high earners? Well, in the public sector, they are also considering similar plans for the armed forces, but the private? Unfortunately, a badly designed policy such as the taper doesn't seem as if it will be scrapped any time soon.

In Arizona Mining Town, Gardeners and Scientists Team Up to Check for Contamination
By Melissa Sevigny • Nov 14, 2018
It's harvest season and gardeners in Arizona are roasting homegrown squash and canning extra tomatoes. But how do they know their vegetables are safe to eat? It's a worry in some small mining towns with a legacy of contamination. In central Arizona, local gardeners have teamed up with scientists to test their soil and rainwater. KNAU's Melissa Sevigny reports.

It's been a tough year for Dale Bennett. A wildfire nearly burned down his house in Mayer, tucked into the desert hills of central Arizona. He says the whole place was black with ash, "and whatever's in that red retardant, cause this whole place got hit with the slurry bomber when they came through."
Bennett collects rainwater off his roof in a big plastic barrel to water his garden. He's not too worried about the Superfund site 10 miles away, where an old mine left elevated levels of arsenic and lead. But the wildfire—and the floods that followed—made him wonder: is the rainwater really safe?
Water harvesting system
"It grows good gourds, and probably grow great big carrots and anything like that, but should you eat 'em? That's a whole different story," he says.
This year, he didn't plant any vegetables—just gourds to carve into artwork. Enormous gourds. Each one is 20 or 30 pounds. Bennett is convinced something in the rainwater made them extra big. "What it is, if it's good, bad, who knows, but there's obviously something in it."
He signed up for Project Harvest to answer that question. It's a community-driven research project to check for contaminants in garden soil, harvested rainwater, and vegetables. On sample collection day, Margaret Dewey drove from the neighboring town of Dewey-Humboldt to help Bennett.
Dewey is the local health promotor or "promotora." She says Project Harvest was inspired by community concerns about the Superfund site in Dewey-Humboldt, just a few miles from her house. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is investigating the site, but cleanup hasn't started yet.
She says, "I think my fruits and edible plants are better than what I get in the grocery store no matter what, but it'll be nice to know whether or not there is anything coming out of the sky or off my roof that I need to be careful of."
Half of the participants get do-it-yourself kits to test for arsenic and harmful bacteria. The other half, including Bennett, send samples to a laboratory in Tucson for more detailed tests.
Bennet pulls on a pair of sterile gloves while Dewey reads from the instruction manual, explaining the color-coded labels for organic and inorganic samples. Bennett fills several glass vials with water from his rain barrel. He'll repeat the process four times a year, at the beginning and end of each rainy season. Next he stakes out a plot in his garden and shovels up a bucketful of soil.
Collecting a soil sample
Dewey will send the samples to a laboratory at University of Arizona, where chemists and biologists will check for heavy metals, pesticides, and E. coli. Participants get their results back at the end of the year.
Environmental health scientist Monica Ramirez-Andreotta is the lead investigator. She says, "I'm very much about democratizing science. I believe that with environmental health challenges, you have to go where the people are at and talk to them."
Ramirez-Andreotta wants to build trust between scientists like herself and communities like Dewey-Humboldt. But she also believes everyone is a scientist. People who live in potentially contaminated areas can find the answers themselves and take control of their own health.
She says, "We live in a time now where your zip code could be more important than your genetic code. Where you live and your environmental health exposures are playing a larger role in our environmental health outcomes than we ever thought they would."
The five year project is funded by the National Science Foundation and ends in 2021.

City of Flagstaff Encourages Residents To Reject the Lawn

Household water use has declined in the United States for the last two decades, mainly due to updated plumbing codes and more efficient toilets and dishwashers. But trading in a green lawn isn't so easy. That's why a lot of western cities are offering money for people to get rid of their grass.

A thug was busted last night for badly beating an off-duty firefighter who was defending his girlfriend at the Staten Island Ferry terminal, officials said.
Sources said Rasheem Turner, 20, of Staten Island, admitted hitting Matthew Dugan, 34, on Sept. 7 when the three-year veteran of Ladder 15 told him to back off.
Dugan was steamed after Turner and two cohorts began laughing at his girlfriend when she fell walking up the stairs at the Manhattan terminal at 1:30 a.m.
The badly injured firefighter was rushed to Beekman Hospital where doctors performed surgery.
Investigators found Turner through video linking him to a Staten Island motorcycle club, "N2 Deep," sources said.
Turner allegedly said that his cohorts did not hit Dugan. Charges were pending.

Cisco Linksys routers still don't support IPv6
Feb 10, 2011, 16:02 (4 Talkback[s])
(Other stories by Julie Bort)
"It's hard to fathom why Cisco hasn't added IPv6 to its Linksys consumer routers yet, but the company has promised support will come this spring.
"It's 2011, IPv4 addresses are officially exhausted, and the world's largest router maker, Cisco, still doesn't support IPv6 in its best-selling line of Linksys wireless routers. This is true even for the new E4200 router released just last month (priced at $180). The company has promised to have IPv6 support for the Linksys line by the spring but has not been specific.
"The networking world has been aware of the IPv4 address shortage for years. Cisco's competitors D-Link and Netgear, for instance, have been offering certified IPv6 consumer routers for a while. Cisco's enterprise routers support IPv6 (naturally) and have also been certified by the IPv6 Forum."

U.S. Department of Education Requires Higher Education Institutions to Post CARES Act Funding Information on Websites
On May 6, 2020, the U.S. Department of Education (ED) issued an electronic announcement directing institutions receiving funds under the Higher Education Emergency Relief Fund (HEERF), as established by Section 18004 of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act, to post information regarding such funds to institutional websites. These website disclosures are being mandated by ED pursuant to Section 18004(e) of the CARES Act and Section 4(c) of the Certification and Agreement for the emergency student grants portion of an institution's HEERF allocation.
Within 30 days after the date when an institution received its HEERF allocation for emergency student grants, the institution must provide the following information on its primary website in an easily accessible format and location, and must update the information every 45 days thereafter:
An acknowledgement that the institution signed and returned to ED the Certification and Agreement and the assurance that the institution has used, or intends to use, no less than 50 percent of the funds received under Section 18004(a)(1) of the CARES Act to provide Emergency Financial Aid Grants to students.
The total amount of funds that the institution will receive or has received from ED pursuant to the institution's Certification and Agreement for Emergency Financial Aid Grants to Students.
The total amount of Emergency Financial Aid Grants distributed to students under Section 18004(a)(1) of the CARES Act as of the date of submission (i.e., as of the 30-day Report and every 45 days thereafter).
The estimated total number of students at the institution eligible to participate in programs under Section 484 in Title IV of the Higher Education Act of 1965 and thus eligible to receive Emergency Financial Aid Grants to students under Section 18004(a)(1) of the CARES Act.
The total number of students who have received an Emergency Financial Aid Grant under Section 18004(a)(1) of the CARES Act.
The method(s) used by the institution to determine which students receive Emergency Financial Aid Grants and how much they would receive under Section 18004(a)(1) of the CARES Act.
Any instructions, directions or guidance provided by the institution to students concerning the Emergency Financial Aid Grants.
The electronic announcement also indicates that ED will provide further instructions for direct institutional reporting to ED, including a "30-day Fund Report" regarding individual Emergency Financial Aid Grant recipients and amounts. In preparing this 30-day Fund Report, institutions must use data suppression and other methodologies to comply with — and to protect the personally identifiable information contained in student education records under — the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (20 U.S.C. § 1232g; 34 CFR Part 99). For example, ED states that it does not expect institutions to report information about groups of 10 or fewer students. Similarly, if the total number of eligible students, the total of number of students who received emergency grants, or the difference between the two numbers is less than 10, then the institution should not display the number of students or the amount of emergency grants to students on publicly available website(s) controlled by the institution.
Institutions that accurately report the above information will meet the initial reporting requirements. ED intends to notify institutions of its preferred method for subsequent reports and reporting for other HEERF programs.
We are continuing to closely monitor developments from ED and other education regulatory authorities related to the coronavirus pandemic. Should you have questions regarding this matter, or other educational regulatory matters, please do not hesitate to contact any member of our Education team, or your usual contact at Faegre Drinker.

Public lecture: promiscuous reading – living and loving between languages
2 August 2018 6:30pm–8:45pm
Join the School of Languages and Cultures for a public lecture titled "Promiscuous Reading - Living and Loving between Languages", presented by Professor Jeffrey Angles.
All are welcome to attend this free event at The University of Queensland. Please register your attendance by Thursday 2 August 2018.
Note: As places are limited, we recommend that you register as soon as possible to avoid disappointment.
In The Happy Life published in 1896, Charles W. Eliot wrote, "Books are the quietest and most constant of friends; they are the most accessible and wisest of counselors, and the most patient of teachers." But can't books be lovers as well? In this presentation, Professor Jeffrey Angles, who teaches Japanese literature at Western Michigan University, will talk about his own experiences, first as a literary scholar and translator, then later as a poet, taking books as friends, counselors, teachers, and lovers. He will discuss the motivations behind his own award-winning translations, including Forest of Eyes: Selected Poems of Tada Chimako and The Book of the Dead by Orikuchi Shinobu, and he will also talk about the ways that his experiences as a translator inspired his own collection of Japanese-language poetry Watashi no hizukehenkōsen (My International Date Line), which won one of Japan's most prestigious prizes for literature in 2017.

Paterson Man jumps to death from the roof after stabbing a woman In Cianci Street Incident
The incident was reported by the Passaic County Prosecutor's office
On Wednesday night, Essaul Morales, a 38-year-old resident of Paterson allegedly assaulted a 26-year-old woman in a domestic dispute and committed suicide later that night by jumping from the roof of another building. The woman was found by the police at around 9:30 p.m. and was said to be suffering from multiple stab wounds.
Turbulent Week For Paterson Residents
Source: NewsBreak
The woman was in critical condition and was taken to St. Joseph's University Medical Center. The statement was that Morales and the woman argued which led to him assaulting her, and Morales took his own life later, according to prosecutors.
Authorities are still investigating the case and believe that no third party is involved in this incident. It had been quite the violent week in the city, as there had been a shooting on Tuesday, which claimed the life of four people, and on Wednesday, a man belonging to New York's most wanted list was killed by the U.S. Marshal Service, and both incidents took place in the 4th Ward of Paterson.
In another case, Paterson Police Department faced a possible assailant who had a gun in his person. The case was presented by Detective Mustafa Dombayci who witnessed a man, later identified as Mark Champion, 21, carry a handgun and place it in a bag attached to his person.
Dombayci had been patrolling in 17th Avenue and East 28th Street at around 8:30 p.m., when he, along with three other officers from the Street Crime Unit saw Champion near the intersection. After alerting the others, the four of them lost no time in approaching Champion and taking hold of his weapon. Thankfully there was no incident and he's placed in custody.

Q: Php apply function in array if next entry is integer (Concatenate a valid FEN string) Trying to build a valid FEN string.
Given this 8*8 array example, symbolizing a checker board, ("1" are empty squares):
$checkerboard = [["r","n","b","q","k","b","n","r"],["p","p","p","p","p","p","p","p"],["1","1","1","1","1","1","1","1"],["1","1","1","1","1","1","1","1"],["1","1","1","1","P","1","1","1"],["1","1","1","1","1","1","1","1"],["P","P","P","P","1","P","P","P"],["R","N","B","Q","K","B","N","R"]]

In situ, this is the position:

The valid result I am looking for is:
rnbqkbnr/pppppppp/8/8/4P3/8/PPPP1PPP/RNBQKBNR

And by now my output is:
rnbqkbnr/pppppppp/11111111/11111111/1111P111/11111111/PPPP1PPP/RNBQKBNR

Obviously, any integer entry in the array should be sum to the next, only if the next entry is an integer, and if so the next entry  should be discarded till the end.
By iterating the array, I am not sure how to apply something like array_walk() or array_map() here in a simple way. Maybe a simple string operation is enough?
  $FEN = "";
  for ($i = 0;$i < 8;$i++){
    for ($j = 0;$j < 8;$j++){
      if ($checkerboard[$i][$j] === "1"){
        if ($checkerboard[$i][$j + 1] === "1"){
           /* How to iterate till the end */
           $FEN .= (int)$checkerboard[$i][$j] + (int)$checkerboard[$i][$j+1];
        }
      } else {
        $FEN .= $checkerboard[$i][$j];
      }
    }
    $FEN .= "/";
  }

Any insights?
Example online: https://3v4l.org/tuqqo

A: $checkerboard = [["r","n","b","q","k","b","n","r"],["p","p","p","p","p","p","p","p"],["1","1","1","1","1","1","1","1"],["1","1","1","1","1","1","1","1"],["1","1","1","1","P","1","1","1"],["1","1","1","1","1","1","1","1"],["P","P","P","P","1","P","P","P"],["R","N","B","Q","K","B","N","R"]];

$parts =  array();
foreach ($checkerboard as $innerArray) {
    $num = null;
    $str = '';
    foreach($innerArray as $innerval){
        if(is_numeric($innerval)){
            $num += (int) $innerval;
        }
        else{
            if(!is_null($num)){
                $str .=$num;
                $num = null;
            }
            $str .=$innerval;
        }
    }
    if(!is_null($num)){
        $str .=$num;
    }
    array_push($parts,$str);
}
$result = implode('/',$parts);

above code will generate required output and store it on the $result.

Nigerian army rescues 300 women

The Nigerian military says it has rescued 200 girls and 93 women from an area where the Islamist militant group Boko Haram is active.
However, it said the girls abducted from a school in Chibok in April 2014 were not among them.
The military said the girls and women were freed during major operations ending in the seizure of four Boko Haram camps in the Sambisa Forest.
A military spokesman said they were now being interviewed.
Weapons were also seized at the camps taken in the latest operation, the military said.
In recent months Nigerian security forces have taken back most of the territory previously under the control of Boko Haram, the BBC's Tomi Oladipo reports from Lagos.
Gen Chris Olukolade said the hostages were freed as part of a major, ongoing operation.
He said accurate intelligence had helped the military locate the camps, which had been attacked from all directions by ground and air forces.
Last October, the government said it had secured an agreement for a ceasefire and the release of the girls taken from Chibok, but Boko Haram subsequently denied this.
The army has made gains against the militants in recent months
The abduction of the girls in Chibok sparked global outrage with many joining a campaign online to free them using the hashtag #BringBackOurGirls.
Several nations including the US and China vowed to help find them and there have been reported sightings of the girls, but none has been found to date.
Meanwhile, the government of neighbouring Niger gave more details about fighting between its troops and Boko Haram on an island in Lake Chad over the weekend.
It says 28 civilians died when Boko Haram attacked Karamga Island and that 46 of its troops died in the battle for the island, along with more than 150 militants. Reports in local media have given a much higher death toll for government forces.
Boko Haram's insurgency, and the army campaign against it, has killed more than 15,500 people since 2012. The violence has recently spread to neighbouring Niger, Chad and Cameroon.

Some say Irish dogs are different from other dogs: more soulful, wiser, friendlier even. Hmmm, maybe… maybe not… However, let me tell you about one fabulous Irish dog!
Years ago, I was traveling around Ireland with several American friends, one of whom had lived in Dublin as a child for several years. She observed that Irish dogs were quite different to dogs in other countries, they were "purposeful." Rather than wandering or straying, Irish dogs appeared to do things deliberately, purposefully, with their tails high and a definite goal in mind.
As we explored small towns and villages, we began to see the local dogs through her eyes. They did indeed seem very busy, and appeared to have goals and direction. They'd trot down the street, stopping to greet people and other dogs, tails wagging, a glint in their eyes, and after a moments' connection, would resume their course with every appearance of purpose.
Tayto Park: Odd Name, Brilliant Day Out!
One of the biggest tourist attractions in Ireland is Tayto Park, but it's one that many overseas visitors skip because they haven't the faintest idea what it is.
Wicklow is a great corner of Ireland if what you love is rugged scenery and outdoor pursuits. The mountains are picturesque, windswept, and just crying out to be the backdrop for your own romantic adventure. Helen Fairbairn's Dublin & Wicklow: A Walking Guide will ensure you don't get lost on your trek, nor (if you follow her advice) will you find yourself hopelessly out of your depth.
The Giro d'Italia came to Ireland this summer, and you can still trace its path through various parts of the country by the way everything was painted pink.
McCollam's Restaurant and Pub went completely pink for the Giro d'Italia, and hung a lot of bicycle wheels on the building for good measure.
Fore Abbey is one of the lesser-known monastic ruins in Ireland, which is a shame, as it's a great place for a family day out, offering places to climb, a stream to play in, a rag tree to decorate, and hills to explore.
The Rag Tree with Fore Abbey in the background.
Founded about 630 by St. Fechin, Fore Abbey lies near Lough Lene in Co. Westmeath. The original monastic community was largely rebuilt by the Benedictines in the 13th and 15th centuries, and these comprise most of the ruins you can visit today.

What's On in Ireland, June 2014: Festivals Galore!
What's happening around Ireland in June? As usual, there are lots of great festivals.
There's something for everyone in June.
Cork has a long maritime tradition, which is celebrated in this annual week of special events, races, exhibitions, and fun. There's plenty for all the family, from guided tours of Irish naval vessels to circumnavigating central Cork City by kayak, with great music, food and drink on hand. The highlight is An Rás Mór, the big race, in which all manner of sea-going craft compete across a variety of distances: restored curraghs, yachts, long racing boats, and tiny kayaks.
Bloomsday: What's it All About?
Bloomsday is the annual celebration of all things James Joyce, but mostly his love-it or loathe-it masterpiece, Ulysses.
When I lived in Dublin many years ago, I noticed an annual upsurge of American grad students hanging out in the pubs around Trinity, boasting unpublished manuscripts analyzing Ulysses, and claiming to be in town for some conference or other and hoping to find a publisher. If half of them really had a book completed, it would have taken half the Amazon rain forest to print them. But, I suppose it was a measure of the cultural impact Joyce's relatively difficult novel has had across the world.

Food, energy, water security and agricultural development are currently high on the agenda of international development agencies and national governments. With a growing world population, increasing demand for food and (renewable) energy, and competition for land and water, international land acquisitions have increased substantially within the last years and all over the world. The Worldwatch Institute estimated that 70 million hectares of land have been sold or rented to private parties, in the last 10 years, with a peak in 2009. These acquisitions involve land use changes to commercial uses and are pursued by private and public investors with different aims, the most relevant of which are food production, agrofuels production, forestry, tourism, conservation, renewable energy production.

Michelin stars, local artisan tastes, farm-to-table, southern wine trails and the most idyllic craft brewery in the world.
What do Stars Taste Like?
There's never been a better time to be a foodie on the loose in Chicago.
Experience local food icons, with our guide to famous Illinois eats.
Taste true local flavors with Illinois farm-to-table dining.
Award-winning artisan cheeses and farmers' markets.
Savor the flavors and drink in the lush scenery.
In November 2016, the Michelin Guide awarded stars to 26 Chicago restaurants, the most stars ever for our smoking hot restaurant scene. From celebrated three star stalwart Alinea, to new kids on the block Oriole, Roister, Smyth, and Bands of Bohemia, it's time to break out your elasticated waist bands and make the most of that dinner reservation you made months ago.
The Michelin Bib Gourmand list is a fantastic guide to places with great meals at an affordable price. The 2017 Chicago list has 52 restaurants including: sushi, late-night Korean barbecue, Mexican neighborhood gems, seafood and craft beer gastro-pubs.
Crafted cocktails are big in Chicago. Head along to the Violet Hour in Chicago's Wicker Park, for a stylish take on Pre-Prohibition cocktails or a Cocktail 101 class, which reveals the stories behind vintage classics. The Violet Hour won the 2015 James Beard Award for Outstanding Bar Program, and pays a charming homage to the era it's inspired by, with no cell phones allowed inside the lounge.
Deep-dish pizza is more than pizza, it's a way of life, and in Chicago it's become the favorite way to be served. After all, when it's made in a cast iron skillet, that's not just a pizza, that's a meal.
What can be better than toast, topped with meat, topped with fries and slathered with a heaping dose of cheese sauce? Pretty much nothing! The Horseshoe Sandwich is an Illinois delicacy.
Considering the hotdog was introduced in Chicago at the World's Fair in 1893, you'll be inundated with a bevy of great locations to find one. Topped with yellow mustard, tomatoes, peppers, onions, neon green relish, dill pickle and celery salt, this dog comes with everything except the kitchen sink, and of course no ketchup.
The Italian Beef sandwich originated in Chicago and dates back to the 1930s. Designed for cheap and easy eating in the stockyards, it quickly took on a legend of its own.
Head south for lunch at Epiphany Farms in Bloomington. Every item on the menu is raised on Epiphany Farms or sourced from local farmers. You're eating food grown within walking distance.
Meander onwards to Prairie Fruits Farm near Champaign who offer themed farm dinners from spring through late fall. The farm is a major player in the Illinois natural and local foods movement and an outdoor feast in the shade of their maple trees is a memory to treasure.
If you feel the urge for a midday snack (or a few afternoon libations), swoop down to Firefly Grill in Effingham. Firefly's vision is a sustainable one, right down to the reclaimed building materials in the restaurant. And of course, all the foods are either grown on site, hand-picked locally or sourced from artisan farmers, foragers and fishermen.
As you continue south, stop off at Marcoot Jersey Creamery in Greenville, set in the rolling hills of Bond County. This landmark Jersey creamery, another seventh-generation local family business, specializes in handcrafted artisan farmstead cheeses. Grab yourself some of their award-winning cheese for a picnic lunch, and a selection of other local delicacies, then press on to Carbondale in southern Illinois.
If you're in town on a Saturday April through November, check out the Carbondale Farmers' Market where the freshest and finest produce grown in southern Illinois plays the starring role. An eclectic group of local farmers and producers gather offering everything from fruits, veggies and eggs to seafood, sausages and baked goods.
Take your time on the Shawnee Hills Wine Trail, a 25-mile scenic drive through the hilly Shawnee National Forest with twelve award-winning wineries. Some of the wineries even offer lodgings.
A stone's throw from Shawnee National Forest, outside the tiny town of Ava, you'll find a 1920s farmhouse that doubles as the Scratch Brewing Company. Scratch is a fresh trend in micro brewing where adventurous brewers create distinctly local beers by hunting for interesting, forest-grown ingredients.

Another Amusement Park Accident Leaves Six Year-Old in Critical Condition
Accidents at amusement parks are more common than people often realize: for example, just recently, three girls were injured by a faulty Ferris wheel, leaving one of them in critical condition. In fact, every year, amusement parks around the country attract millions of visitors, injuring thousands, and even leading to the wrongful death of a few.
Unfortunately, this isn't the first incident for this particular company, Family Attractions Amusement Co.: in 2013, five people suffered severe injuries at a different State Fair on one of its rides, leading to the company being fined close to $60,000 for alleged willful violations of safety. It was also sued by the family of one of the injured victims.
What surprised many about this most recent incident is that, within a week, the state decided to renew the permit for the company allegedly responsible, allowing them to operate their rides at the next County Fair, starting within a few days.
The Incident: Permit Renewal Could Foreshadow Litigation
According to the state inspection report, after the car the girls were riding in turned over, one of them plunged more than 30 feet simply due to the ride's damaged rivets. The incident has left her, at the young age of six, with a traumatic brain injury.
As a result of this permit renewal, not only could the company be sued again if someone is injured, but the state could also be joined in a lawsuit for deciding to renew the permit in light of this company's record of injuries.
A National Problem
Within the same week as this incident, there were at least four major injuries at amusement parks nationwide, including the deadly decapitation of a 10 year-old boy.
Although amusement parks have a duty to keep their patrons safe and can be sued for damages if they fail to do so as a result of negligent or intentional behavior, as a result of these recent incidents, many have remarked that it is inappropriate in this day and age that no specific federal agency oversees the amusement park industry as a whole. In many states, rides like these only need to be inspected once per year, and the inspector is hired by the amusement park, which is, arguably, a conflict of interest. For example, in Rhode Island, the Amusement Ride Safety Act requires this inspection once a year. Although once charged with oversight of the parks, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission hasn't had the authority to step in and regulate the industry in 35 years, since Congress stripped the agency of the power.

Game check program now mandatory
Published 12:01 am Wednesday, July 13, 2016
Chuck Sykes is on a quest. The Alabama Wildlife and Freshwater Fisheries (WFF) director is touring the state to educate hunters about the Game Check program and how it can benefit both hunters and wildlife resources in the short term and for many years to come.
The Game Check program, which has been used on a voluntary basis for the past three years, will be mandatory for the 2016-2017 hunting seasons for reporting the harvest of deer and turkeys.
The goal of Sykes' tour is to make that transition as easy as possible. More than 20 public seminars are planned across the state, and Sykes urges all hunters to visit one of the meetings that will be held through the summer and early fall. Visit www.outdooralabama.com/game-check-seminar-series for the current schedule.
"We need people to come out and understand what Game Check is and why we're doing it," Sykes said. "The Conservation Advisory Board passed Game Check unanimously. The Department (Conservation and Natural Resources) understands there is going to be a learning curve. That is why we're doing these seminars all over the state. There will be at least three seminars a week throughout the summer somewhere in the state.
"My goal is to let our hunters know why we need Game Check. But just as important, I'm showing them the way to do it. I'm walking through, step-by-step, the quickest and easiest way to use Game Check to report your harvest. I'm also talking about other rules and regulations and answering any questions people have."
When Game Check was first introduced three years ago, WFF decided to try the voluntary route to see if enough Alabama hunters would report their harvests. Alabama is one of only three states without mandatory harvest reporting. Unfortunately, the number of hunters who reported their harvest via Game Check was less than 5 percent during that span.
"We tried voluntary reporting for three years and it didn't work," Sykes said. "There were 19,000 deer reported in 2013 and only 15,000 last year."
Estimates from sampling and mail surveys indicate about 300,000 deer are harvested annually in Alabama.
"That's our guess," Sykes said of the harvest estimate. "We need to know. It's too important an industry to the state ($1.8 billion economic impact), and it's too important to the way of life to many people, including me, for us to base everything on a guess."
Sykes said WFF surveys indicated that 77 percent of the respondents did not oppose a mandatory Game Check system, but he continues to have to debunk some of the rumors that were previously spread about the program.
"At the meetings we've had so far, people want to know how to do it and what we're going to use the information for," he said. "Some people are under the impression that if they give us the data that we're going to take something away from them. That's the furthest thing from the truth. If we find we have more deer than we think, if we're not killing as many as we think, we possibly can give them more hunting opportunities.
"We don't know. I don't have enough data to argue pro or con right now. It's easy to stick your head in the sand when things are going well, but the fingers are going to be pointed at Wildlife and Freshwater Fisheries if it's not. This is too important to guess. We need to know."
Compliance with the Game Check system is available in three ways. Hunters can use the Outdoor Alabama App, go online at www.outdooralabama.com/gamecheck or call 1-800-888-7690.
"The phone system is the least reliable and the phone line costs us money," Sykes said. "From the three years of the voluntary Game Check, the phone reporting was about 50-percent unreliable because it allows for more room to import faulty data like missing counties, wrong sex and incorrect license numbers. We offer it for the people who don't have internet access. The app and online reporting don't cost us money. For everybody who has internet, we are strongly encouraging them to get the app or go online."
There is an incentive for hunters to use the Outdoor Alabama App.
"If they do it that way, they don't have to carry their harvest records anymore," Sykes said. "We're trying to make it as easy as possible. We just want people to understand how to do it.
"This is one of the largest efforts the Department has done in a decade that's going to impact everybody who deer and turkey hunts in the state – not negatively, but it will impact them. We need to educate people on why we're doing it and how to accomplish it. It's that simple."
While Game Check will allow WFF biologists and the public to monitor harvests on a near real-time basis, Sykes said the best information will come a few years down the road.
"We can look at it week-by-week, but we're not expecting anything significant for two to three years, preferably five years," he said. "We don't want one bad season to impact any decisions. You may have bad weather or where gas is $4 a gallon again and people aren't traveling as much to hunt. So I would love to have five years of data where we can look at that trend and see what the harvest number is doing, see what participation is doing, so we can make sound management decisions.
"We're not going to make decisions on what people report this year. We've got to crawl before we can run. But it will alert us to any situation. More importantly, it will alert the hunters. They can go online and see if the February season is having an impact on buck harvest. They will be able to tell what bucks are being killed in every county. You can look county by county, day by day and see what's going on."
Sykes doesn't know how many hunters will embrace participation in the Game Check program but he is optimistic.
"I would love to have 100-percent compliance, but that's unrealistic," he said. "Georgia instituted mandatory reporting during turkey season, and they're estimating they got about 45-percent compliance this year. That's huge. Right now, we're only sampling hunters that have a license, which isn't that many, unfortunately. With Game Check, everybody who hunts will be sampled. It should blow the database through the roof.
"I just want people to come to these seminars to ask questions and form an opinion based on facts, not what they hear from a friend, not what they read on social media. Come listen. Come ask questions. See what it's all about, and then form their opinion. So far, even the people who have not been jumping up and down in support of Game Check, once they hear the presentation, ask questions, have those questions answered, they understand why we're doing it and it's OK."

Q: Jquery tabs with non selected default tab I have implemented the jquery-ui default tabs and my client has come back to me requesting that upon initially landing on the page that a home page message exist which is separate from the tabs themselves. So to illustrate...I have five tabs with five correspond div's with associated content. Need to add another div of content that would be displayed at initialization and then once a tab was selected it would disappear and not be accessible. The li elements all require a corresponding div to work with and if I try setting the extra li to display:none, the jquery initialization removes it...is there a simple solution to this or am I going to have to write custom code for this?
 $(document).ready(function () {
            $(".tabs").tabs({ event: "mouseover", fx: { opacity: 'toggle', duration: 'fast' }
            });
        });

Added
 $(document).ready(function(){
        $("#blank").remove();});

html

<a href="#keytab-1"tab1

tab2t

tab3

tab4

tab5

}

                        this is the default

                        this is tab 1

                        this is the tab 2

                        this is the tab 3

etc..

A: OK,
as mentioned use a remove:
$('#tabs').tabs('remove', 2);

or position a layer over your tabs, that is removed/hidden in the DOM after x amount of time or when the tabs are interacted with.
I did this once for an advertising block that would overlay the tabs.
You can have your structure like:

            tab 1

            tab 2

 my tab1 content

 my tab2 content

 my overlay content

With how jQuery UI tabs work, only the divs that have an id that match the hash in the ul will be considered part of the "tabs" - any other divs render as normal divs. So with some css to position the overlay absolutely and some jquery to handle hiding it (when I did it, I used a slidedown), you'll be all set.


Thanks @Spazzyp how are you doing?
Today a nurse made a comment about how I had given IVF a good go, which started me thinking. I guess I've probably done more cycles than the average? I don't know... I know it's sad all the people at the clinic know me and remember my name, and always wish me good luck, telling me this is the one or I'm due good luck.
Hi ladies! Congrats on being PUPO @skeeter, I really hope it's a sticky one.
@skeeter Been lurking Hey Hun - Sending you lots of superglue baby dust.
Well no one has done as many rounds of IVF as Mary Coustas (AKA Effie) who (thinks) she's done 20 and finally had her baby at 49.
Had someone in my team return from mat leave today. I remember when she told me she was pregnant, as I was too... well, since that time I've had 2 more pregnancies and still no baby. I am going to find it tough for a bit... that being said, I am looking forward to speaking with Dr M next week. I always find having a plan helps.
@Flower78, good luck on EPU Wednesday!
just wanted to ask something I had a FET on the 30/3/17 BUT did it on a natural cycle as I habe regular cycles on that same day but at night i noticed brownish discharge but it was stringy clots very small amount not much is that normal? no other symptoms though.
So did this happen last night - roughly 4 days post transfer? If so, what you're describing is what I experienced as implantation bleeding.
Could potentially be a very good sign!

The Division gets release date, and monstrous "Dark Zone" betrayal mechanics
The Division has looked like a gorgeous and evocative multiplayer shooter since it debuted, but today at their E3 presser, Ubisoft revealed the depths of betrayal and cruelty to which players will be able to descend in the game's newly-revealed "Dark Zone".
Think of the Dark Zone as null sec in EVE: a place of anarchy and treachery, even among groups of friends.
The Dark Zone is a stretch of territory running through central Manhattan, and judging from the gameplay video Ubisoft showed, it's a place where groups of players are not necessarily all on each other's side. In fact, if you party up with some high-level randoms with good gear, there's nothing to stop you from fragging them at the end of a mission and stealing all their stuff.
As we see from the bleak little morality play of the newest Division trailer.
I love that the bad guys the group encounters were a bunch of dudes taking selfies. That's just what I'd do after the apocalypse. But of course, they weren't the real villains of the story. You see, man is the real monster!
Anyway, The Division also, finally, has a release date: March 8. 2016. According to Ubisoft, it will be available on all platforms simultaneously.

What C.S. Lewis Teaches Us About Losing Faith and Finding It Again
How skepticism can actually strengthen our faith.
Posted on May 6, 2016 January 5, 2018
Dan Dewitt
The 20th-century journalist and Christian apologist G. K. Chesterton once said, "There are two ways of getting home; and one of them is to stay there. The other is to walk round the whole world till we come back to the same place."
Chesterton's point was that truth might be closer than you realize, perhaps right under your nose. And sometimes, like with the prodigal son, truth is found at the end of a long road back to the Father's house.
Chesterton was speaking specifically about Christianity. In his book The Everlasting Man he contrasts two ways of analyzing the Christian faith. The first is from the inside. The second is from a million miles away. As he writes, "The best relation to our spiritual home is to be near enough to love it. But the next best is to be far enough away not to hate it."
In other words, sometimes stepping just outside the front door of a particular view (like Christianity) leaves you too close to have a clear perspective. You can be standing beneath the awning while complaining about the shade. Your proximity itself creates emotional and intellectual blind spots.
As Chesterton puts it, "The popular critics of Christianity are not really outside of it … Their criticism has taken on a curious tone; as of a random and illiterate heckling." You likely know what he was talking about: Many of the complaints and criticisms we hear about Christianity are more emotionally charged than carefully reasoned. And safe passage to meaningful conversations with each other can be hard to find.
Lewis Leaves Home
This is well illustrated in the life of C.S. Lewis. As a young man, Lewis navigated this same terrain. He describes this journey in his first published work after his conversion to Christianity, The Pilgrim's Regress. It's a fictional account of his conversion that he wrote over a holiday visit with his childhood best friend. Of course, Lewis patterned the work after John Bunyan's classic The Pilgrim's Progress.
Like Bunyan, Lewis uses allegory to make his points. But his "regress" offers a glaring contrast to Bunyan's "progress." Lewis wanted to illustrate that his character found spiritual fulfillment not by progressing to a far-off land to be freed from a heavy burden—but in the fulfillment of a longing that could take place only in the Christianity he previously rejected.
Lewis made spiritual progress by turning around and retracing his steps. Sometimes, this is exactly what progress looks like: Turning around and heading back the other way. Think about it, we can hardly call going further down the wrong road progress.
Lewis later described this in his autobiographical work Surprised by Joy: "But then the key to my books is Donne's maxim, 'The heresies that men leave are hated most.' The things I assert most vigorously are those that I resisted long and accepted late."
As a young man Lewis walked away from his spiritual upbringing. And it took some time for him to get far enough away to stop hating it. But then he came back, close enough to learn to love it. He walked around an entire world just to come back home.
And, his tour guide was none other than Chesterton.
Finding a Guide
Chesterton's book The Everlasting Man was a response to H.G. Wells, whose book The Outline of History sold more than two million copies and has been translated into multiple languages. Wells describes his massive tome as "an attempt to tell, truly and clearly, in one continuous narrative, the whole story of life and mankind so far as it is known to-day [sic]." Wells brought his skill as a wordsmith and his philosophically nuanced skepticism fully to bear on the project.
The influence of The Outline of History and of the Wellsian view is difficult to understate. In one fascinating instance, a young Jewish father in New York City required his eight-year-old daughter—who was herself an intellectual prodigy—to read Wells in its entirety. As a result, she dropped the faith of her family and became an atheist.
But the book was not without its challengers. Just a couple of years later, back in Britain, the opinionated British journalist, Chesterton, took up the task of countering Wells's manifesto. Chesterton challenged Wells's premise that atheism offers a more compelling account of history. And he contended that Wells's main problem in the book was simply that he was wrong.
The then-atheist professor Lewis read The Everlasting Man in the mid-1920s and later described the book as a major contribution to his journey away from atheism and his conversion to theism. In the following years, Lewis moved from theism into the thing itself, the gospel of Jesus Christ.
And remember the young girl in the Bronx? Lewis's keen mind and clear prose providentially reached that same household where Wells's spurred her into atheism. Now a grown woman, she was jolted by Lewis's presentation of the Gospel. She went on to reject atheism, like Lewis years earlier, and embraced the Gospel message he wrote about.
Her name was Helen Davidman. At least until she moved to England and subsequently became the wife of Lewis.
Some people might leave the faith of their childhood. But Christians can take heart: Like the prodigal son, they may find that the far off country isn't all that it's cracked up to be. And even if they have to cross the entire world, maybe, one day, they will find their way back home.
