U.S. Virgin Islanders who have lost their jobs due to hurricanes Irma or Maria may now apply for Disaster Unemployment Assistance (DUA) through the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to help get them back on their feet.
The DUA program is designed to provide unemployment benefits and re-employment services to individuals who are unemployed because of a major disaster and who are not eligible for regular unemployment insurance. Individuals who lost income due to the disaster, such as farmers, fishers, independent contractors and small-business owners, may qualify for disaster unemployment assistance, according to a press release issued Wednesday by FEMA.
One week of unemployment as a direct result of the disaster is required before the provisions can be set in motion. Benefits may extend for 26 weeks – if the individual's unemployment continues to be a direct result of the disaster.
To be considered for DUA, individuals must provide proof of identity and citizenship (U.S. citizen, U.S. national or qualified alien). Survivors are also required to substantiate employment or self-employment or to substantiate work that was to begin on or after the date of the disaster.
In addition to the help offered to Virgin Islanders at the locations above, the V.I. Department of Labor (DOL) is arranging with mainland states to assist displaced survivors with DUA applications.
For more information and services offered by DOL, visit www.vidol.gov.
Due to natural disasters like hurricane many of the people suffer from a huge loss like many of the people become unemployed. This it becomes very essential to provide assistance to the people. There are many non profit organizations like mission humanitaire (http://www.mission-humanitaire-afrique.org) who are taking good efforts to provide them an assistance and recover the loss.

It's a hard rock life.
Aralyn Ford is an ugly duckling who never realized she was a swan thanks to years of abuse at the hands of her father. She's been careening through life putting everyone else's needs before her own to the point where even she doesn't know which face she's going to be wearing that day. Now, she's on a quest to pull herself together and release her inner Alpha Female. She, her multiple personalities and her hard rockin' band of misfits tell it like it is in this rough, raw soliloquy of sound.

The Venezuelan President, Nicolas Maduro, was giving a speech in Caracas at a parade when a drone loaded with explosives flew towards him and exploded on live TV.
Security guards reacted quickly and tried to protect him before leading him to safety. Maduro himself did not seem shocked and looked on as the incident unfolded. Later in an aired speech, he said that his first reaction was of observation and serenity because he has full confidence in the people and the armed forces.
Details of the incident and who is responsible is currently being widely debated.
Difficult words: unfold (happen), observation (observing – watching), serenity (being calm, untroubled), confidence (believing in something).

Boom to bust: Brazil's arts lose out as economy stalls
Funding squeeze causes museums and institutions around the country to postpone or cancel exhibitions
Silas Martí
9th April 2015 23:00 GMT
The crisis in Brazil is hitting the arts, as institutions postpone or cancel major exhibitions.
The Brazilian real hit its lowest level for 10 years in February, and has lost around 30% of its value against the dollar over the past five months. There are major water and power shortages in states including São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro and Minas Gerais, and the country has been hit by its biggest ever corruption scandal, centred around the government-controlled oil giant Petrobras, formerly a key sponsor of the arts. Around one million Brazilians took to the streets on 15 March, calling for the impeachment of the country's president, Dilma Rousseff, formerly the minister for mines and energy.
Major institutions are pushing back shows originally scheduled to open later this year and in 2016. The Centro Cultural Banco do Brasil has postponed a retrospective of works by Edward Hopper that was due to open in October, as well as a group show of masterpieces from the Louvre that was scheduled for next year.
Tour cancelled
The current retrospective of works by Marina Abramovic at the Sesc Pompeia in São Paulo ("Terra Comunal", until 10 May) is unlikely to travel, as was originally intended, and a display of dinosaur fossils from New York's Museum of Natural History that was planned for the Catavento science museum in São Paulo later this year is in doubt.
One of the country's most prominent institutions, the Instituto Inhotim in Minas Gerais, has postponed the opening of two pavilions dedicated to the works of the Swiss photographer Claudia Andujar and the Danish artist Olafur Eliasson. The pavilions were originally scheduled to open in September 2014. The reason for the delay is the fall in the price of iron, says Antônio Grassi, the museum's executive director. Bernardo Paz, the founder of Inhotim, made most of his money from mining, so he is maintaining his 30% share of Inhotim's $12.3m annual budget less comfortably than in the past, according to Grassi.
Other companies are also suffering. The car industry produced 16% fewer vehicles in 2014 than in 2013, and firms such as Fiat are struggling to maintain their previous levels of cultural funding. The Casa Fiat de Cultura in Belo Horizonte, for example, is expected to delay plans for an exhibition of works by Orazio and Artemisia Gentileschi.
Short of cash
Economic problems aside, Brazil's exhibition model is itself problematic. Under the so-called Rouanet law, most exhibitions are financed by tax breaks given by the government to corporations, and budgets must be approved in local currency around a year before a show opens. Because of the drastic downturn, many institutions are now short of cash.
Petrobras has not invested a penny in the arts through the Rouanet scheme since 2012, when it spent $16.6m. "It is no longer a key player in cultural sponsorship," says Maria Ignez Mantovani, who produced hit shows including "Impressionism: Paris and Modernity" at the Centro Cultural Banco do Brasil in 2013.
The crisis comes after years of record exhibition attendance in Brazil: half of the ten best-attended exhibitions internationally took place in the country last year. "We saw a boom, but now we'll see a downgrade, which is a sad thing since we had just begun to open some doors abroad," says Arnaldo Spindel, a director at the production firm Base 7.

VIDEO: What Would You Do if Money Were No Object?
"What would you do if money were no object? How would you really enjoy spending your life?"
This is the question Alan Watts, the celebrated 20th century western philosopher and proponent of zen teachings, asks us.
Decades later, his teachings and this question have been resurrected, thanks to an inspiring YouTube remix video that takes Watts' wisdom and compliments it with an empowering soundtrack and visuals.
Even in a modern context, Watt's thought-provoking central question remains the same: What would you be doing if you did what you love?
"If you say that money is the most important thing, you'll spend your life completely wasting your time: You'll be doing things you don't like doing in order to go on living, that is, in order to go on doing things you don't like doing."
His vision will ring true with countless 20-somethings who have been working hard for their ideal life, while simultaneously losing faith in the possibility of attaining it. If you find yourself that camp, take comfort in Watts' philosophy and use this video as motivation. As Watts says, "Better to have a short life full of what you like doing than a long life spent in a miserable way."
Now, next time you try and put off writing or painting, remember Watts' words and live your life according to what you want it to be.

Alcohol is more harmful than 'wee' — Former NACOB Boss
Former Executive Secretary of the Narcotics Control Board (NACOB), Akrasi Sarpong, has revealed that even though marijuana (wee) is illegal for the harm it can pose to users, alcohol which is legal, is much more harmful than marijuana, arguing that jailing users of marijuana does not address the issue of "harm" caused by the substance.
"If it is about harm, alcohol is more harmful than marijuana. Tobacco is more harmful than marijuana. It's is about harm, let's schedule the harm…and tackle the harm. If you're going to deal with the harm related to the substance, then you shouldn't be taking them (marijuana users) to prison. You should be sending them to the hospital," he told Frema Adunyame in a documentary titled, "Cannabis: a goldmine or a nation wrecker."
Ghana's laws (PNDC Law 236) criminalize marijuana use, import, export and its possession mainly because of its link to mental disorders and diseases. But laws make alcohol legal and it is widely available and consumed.
According to reports by the World Health Organization, worldwide, 3 million deaths every year result from harmful use of alcohol, this represents 5.3 % of all deaths in the world.
But many individuals and groups, notably the Rastafari Council, have called for its legalisation for both medical and recreational use, consistently making the point that alcohol and tobacco that are much more injurious to humans are legal while marijuana remains illegal. Their call has been ignored by successive governments.
In the opinion of Mr Sarpong, our laws must stress the welfare and health of citizens as espoused by various UN Conventions, noting that the laws on Marijuana punishes insignificant end users while the kingpins of the trade who benefit the most are let off the hook.
To better fight the marijuana canker in the country, he suggested that the drug lords be arrested and put away from society: "Our challenge in this country is that in the continuum of law enforcement, we touch the small fries and leave the big guys. Our strategy need to be non-violent small fries. We need to be sending them to public health. Education. Prevention. The big guys! We need to arrest them. And put them away for twenty years. So they can't control anything. That for me is what is called 'smart Law enforcement delivery."
Several countries have legalised marijuana for various uses such as export or medical purposes with reported returns of huge revenues.

Q: Multiline TextView in Android? I did like below in xml
<TableRow>
    <TextView android:id="@+id/address1"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:gravity="left"
        android:maxLines="4"
        android:singleLine="false"
        android:text="Johar Mor, Gulistan-e-Johar, Karachi" >
    </TextView>
</TableRow>

It is not working for multiline, and I am using TableLayout...
so what is mistake I am doing here?

A: What I learned was to add "\n" in between the words where you want it to brake into  the next line. For example...
<TextView
    android:id="@+id/time"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:textAlignment="center"
    android:text="M-F 9am-5pm \n By Appointment Only" />

The \n between 5pm and By allowed me more control of where I wanted my my next line to begin and end.

A: Try to work with EditText by make it unclickable and unfocusable, also you can display a scrollbar and delete the EditText's underbar.
Here is an example:
<EditText
android:id="@+id/my_edit_text"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_parent"
android:inputType="textMultiLine"
android:clickable="false"
android:focusable="false"
android:scrollbars="vertical"
android:background="@android:color/transparent"
/>

Hope this helps :)

A: I do not like the solution that forces the number of lines in the text view. I rather suggest you solve it via the solution proposed here. As I see the OP is also struggling with making text view look like proper in table and shrinkColumns is the correct directive to pass in to achieve what is wanted.

A: I like neither of the answers. Simply set the inputType and the TextView will adapt to its content
<TextView
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:inputType="textMultiLine"/>

Tested on a Nexus One (2.3) and Nexus 4 (4.4)

A: First replace "\n" with its Html equavalent "
"
then call Html.fromHtml() on the string. Follow below steps:
String text= model.getMessageBody().toString().replace("\n", "
")
textView.setText(Html.fromHtml(Html.fromHtml(text).toString()))

This works perfectly.

A: if you want to have at least 4 lines add android:minLines="4"
<TextView android:id="@+id/address1"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:gravity="left"
    android:minLines="4"
    android:text="Johar Mor, Gulistan-e-Johar, Karachi" />

if you want to have always 4 lines add android:lines="4"
<TextView android:id="@+id/address1"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:gravity="left"
    android:lines="4"
    android:text="Johar Mor, Gulistan-e-Johar, Karachi" />

and if you want to have a maximum of 4 lines add android:maxLines="4"
<TextView android:id="@+id/address1"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:gravity="left"
    android:maxLines="4"
    android:text="Johar Mor, Gulistan-e-Johar, Karachi" />

A: If the text you're putting in the TextView is short, it will not automatically expand to four lines. If you want the TextView to always have four lines regardless of the length of the text in it, set the android:lines attribute:
<TextView
    android:id="@+id/address1"
    android:gravity="left"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:maxLines="4"
    android:lines="4"
    android:text="Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat."></TextView>

You can do this with TableRow, see below code
<TableRow >
        <TextView
            android:id="@+id/tv_description_heading"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:gravity="left"
            android:padding="8dp"
            android:text="@string/rating_review"
            android:textColor="@color/black"
            android:textStyle="bold" />

        <TextView
            android:id="@+id/tv_description"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:gravity="left"
            android:maxLines="4"`enter code here`
            android:padding="8dp"
            android:text="The food test was very good."
            android:textColor="@color/black"
            android:textColorHint="@color/hint_text_color" />
    </TableRow>

A: Simply put '\n' inside your text... no extra attribute required :)
          <TextView
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge"
            android:text="Pigeon\nControl\nServices"
            android:id="@+id/textView5"
            android:layout_gravity="center"
            android:paddingLeft="12dp"/>

A: The best answer I found for multiline TextView is:
android:inputType="textMultiLine"

A: Simplest Way
<TableRow>
    <TextView android:id="@+id/address1"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:gravity="left"
        android:maxLines="4"
        android:singleLine="false"
        android:text="Johar Mor,\n Gulistan-e-Johar,\n Karachi" >
    </TextView>
</TableRow>

Use \n where you want to insert a new line
Hopefully it will help you

A: I just thought I'd add that if you use  :
android:inputType="textMultiLine"
Then the view stops being clickable. I was trying to get multi line textviews in my slide-drawer menu which obviously needs to respond to clicks.
The android:singleLine="false" worked fine though.

A: Just add textview in ScrollView
<ScrollView
           android:layout_width="fill_parent"
           android:layout_height="wrap_content"
           android:layout_weight="1"
           android:layout_marginLeft="15dp"
           android:layout_marginRight="15dp"
           android:layout_marginTop="20dp"
           android:fillViewport="true">

           <TextView
               android:id="@+id/txtquestion"
               android:layout_width="fill_parent"
               android:layout_height="match_parent"
               android:background="@drawable/abs__dialog_full_holo_light"
               android:lines="20"
               android:scrollHorizontally="false"
               android:scrollbars="vertical"
               android:textSize="15sp" />

       </ScrollView>

A: I used:
TableLayout tablelayout = (TableLayout) view.findViewById(R.id.table);
tablelayout.setColumnShrinkable(1,true);

it worked for me. 1 is the number of column.

A: I hope these answers are little bit old, just change the input type in resource layout file will solve your problem. For example:
<EditText
        android:id="@+id/notesInput"
        android:hint="Notes"
        android:inputType="textMultiLine"
/>

A: You can do this with TableRow, see below code

<TableRow >
    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/tv_description_heading"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:gravity="left"
        android:padding="8dp"
        android:text="@string/rating_review"
        android:textColor="@color/black"
        android:textStyle="bold" />

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/tv_description"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:gravity="left"
        android:maxLines="4"`enter code here`
        android:padding="8dp"
        android:text="The food test was very good."
        android:textColor="@color/black"
        android:textColorHint="@color/hint_text_color" />
</TableRow>

A: The key is a Textview with singleline=false (which yes is deprecated, but is a must have to work) combined with lines,  maxlinesor minlines
<TextView
                android:id="@+id/txtBowlers"
                style="@style/Default_TextBox.Small"
                android:layout_width="0dp"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:layout_marginTop="4dp"
                android:singleLine="false"
                android:maxLines="6"
                android:text="Bob\nSally\nJohn"
                app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
                app:layout_constraintHorizontal_bias="0.0"
                app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="@+id/txtTeamName"
                app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="@+id/txtTeamName"/>

A: Below code can work for Single line and Multi-line textview
isMultiLine = If true then Textview showing with Multi-line otherwise single line
    if (isMultiLine) {
        textView.setElegantTextHeight(true);
        textView.setInputType(InputType.TYPE_TEXT_FLAG_MULTI_LINE);
        textView.setSingleLine(false);

    } else {
        textView.setSingleLine(true);
        textView.setEllipsize(TextUtils.TruncateAt.END);
    }

A: for me non of the solutions did not work.
I know it is not a complete answer for this question, but sometimes it can help.
I put 4 textviews in a vertical linearlayout.
<Linearlayout
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:orientation:"vertical"

    ...>
    <TextView
       android:layout_width="wrap_content"
       android:layout_height="wrap_content"
       android:text:"line1"
       .../>
    <TextView
       android:layout_width="wrap_content"
       android:layout_height="wrap_content"
       android:text:"line2"
       .../>
    <TextView
       android:layout_width="wrap_content"
       android:layout_height="wrap_content"
       android:text:"line3"
       .../>
    <TextView
       android:layout_width="wrap_content"
       android:layout_height="wrap_content"
       android:text:"line4"
       .../>
</LinearLayout>

This solution is good for cases that the text view text is constant, like labels.

A: TextView will be multi line when it wont get enough space to fit in the single line and singLine not set to true.
If it gets the space in one line it wont be multi line.

A: Why don't you declare a string instead of writing a long lines into the layout file. For this you have to declare a line of code into layout file 'android:text="@string/text"' and go to the \\app\src\main\res\values\strings.xml and add a line of code ' Your multiline text here' Also use '\n' to break the line from any point else the line will automatically be adjusted.

A: no need to add anything just use "\n" at the points where you want to change the lines e.g
<TextView
android:id="@+id/kyc_verify_textbox"
    android:layout_width="370dp"
    android:layout_height="99dp"
    android:layout_marginTop="6dp"
    android:layout_marginBottom="13dp"

    android:text="For KYC verification, \n please submit: \n 1 RC photo \n 2 Truck Owner Details \n Note:Both are mandatory for KYC verification"
    app:layout_constraintBottom_toTopOf="@+id/divider2"
    app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
    app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
    app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="@+id/divider" />

Being a premier manufacturers of helicopters of all sizes and applications for over 20 years now, JR knows a thing or two about rotorcraft. Never a company to simply follow in the footsteps of what everyone else is doing,JR is proud to introduce their clean-sheet-of-paper entry to the multicopter market— the Ninja 400MR. The Ninja is a very high-quality, aerobatic 3D quadcopter that is sure to turn heads wherever it goes It features four independant brushless outrunner motors with fixed pitch propellers designed to reverse direction quickly to make this a very agile model with a very wide performance envelope, yet very simple and lightweight for unreal performance.
Central to the its incredible flight characteristics is a custom-tuned, 6-axis gyro stabilization flight control system that plugs directly into your XBus-compatible receiver for simple setup and opera-tion. The core of the Ninja 400MR's construction is a beautiful carbon fiber main frame with four main aluminum arms and low parts count to get you flying quicker. A beautifully airbrushed polycar-bonate clamshell canopy protects the Ninja from both the underside, as well as concealing and streamlining the radio equipment and battery, and attaches to the chassis with body pins and clips; similar to an R/C car, allowing for easy access to the battery, yet security during maneuvering.
The Ninja is a very complete assembly kit, requiring only an XBus DMSS receiver and JR DMSS transmitter, 3S 2200mAh battery, and a few hours' worth of your time to get flying. Turning the Quad Market Upside Down, the Ninja 400MR, only from JR.
NINJA 400MR is a very unique 3D quadcopter which enable you to do 3D flight. The motor can reverse its rotation quickly and you can do acrobatic flight in fixed-pitch. Not only hovering it but also you can enjoy controlling it just like flying R/C helicopters.

Thales joins new Taskforce to support Wales through the COVID-19 crisis
Thales has joined Tech Taskforce for Wales, which was recently formed to give a first line of free advice and support to businesses of all sizes as the Covid-19 pandemic develops.
The taskforce brings technology firms, government organisations, financial establishments and sector support initiatives together, creating a single source of knowledge and expertise on essential products and services. Thales will contribute world-class cyber and digital skills to help keep businesses safe and resilient during this difficult time.
Some individuals, criminal organisations and nation states are using the pandemic as cover to launch phishing attacks. The worry is that, hastened by a sense of urgency, people are more likely to trust unsolicited emails which appear to be from utility companies, healthcare providers, government departments and other credible sources. Don't be fooled: the links in these emails can install malware on your computer which then goes on to infect your entire network or extract your personal information.
This is more than just a nuisance. At a time when businesses are already facing an uncertain future, a single successful cyber-attack could cause irreparable damage.
Protecting the Welsh economy
Because Thales already has a substantial long term investment in the Welsh economy, epitomised by the National Digital Exploitation Centre (NDEC) in Ebbw Vale, Blaenau Gwent – a £20 million site which is used for digital and cyber security training and research – it was natural for us to step forward to help.
We have the technology to simulate, analyse and nullify even the most sophisticated cyber-attacks. And we stand ready to educate businesses about the various attack methodologies and how to respond to them. We can also monitor networks remotely to detect and defeat attacks before they can do any damage. This monitoring, at a time when so many people are now working from home with reduced cyber security, could be crucial.
This isn't just a technology issue. It's about resilience. The survival of our economy depends on good governance, contingency planning and disaster recovery for dependable business continuity – all areas on which Thales can advise and assist.
No one knows how long the pandemic will last. When it is over, the way we work from home - with phones, email and videoconferencing, plus the advanced cyber security that goes along with that - might well become the new normal.
The taskforce in Wales is being replicated in other countries. The names are different, but the aims are the same. By working together, we will survive Covid-19. And it's an investment not just for now, but for the years ahead. We can all take comfort from knowing that the work we are doing today is securing the foundations of our future economy.

Mazda MX-5 tops local endurance race after 188 laps and 8 hours of non-stop driving
by Drei Laurel | Nov 29, 2022
PHOTO: Mazda Philippines
Sports cars aren't purely just about performance. Reliability is a big consideration, too—more so if you actually plan on pushing your unit to its limit on a track. After all, no car is a fun car if it's constantly waiting inside a garage for repairs.
If the Mazda MX-5's recent showing in the 2022 Petron Makabayan Endurance Race Challenge is anything to go by, then it ticks this box easily.
Mazda's roadster was crowned the endurance race's overall champion after completing a whopping 188 laps and driving non-stop for eight hours around the Clark International Speedway. Those figures are a new record for the event.
The MX-5's performance was enough to top both the event's Class 1 and Open A categories for four- and eight-hour races. The unit entered into the event was driven by Miata Spec Series first runner-up Angie King, as well as racing veterans Tyson Sy and Gaby dela Merced.
We can't help but wonder why so many tricycles in Manila City have no license plates
Size comparo: How big is the all-new Toyota Innova compared to the Geely Okavango?
"In endurance racing, a car must not only be fast, but also be reliable and fuel efficient. We kept the engine and transmission stock in the Team MSCC Mazda Miata," Mazda Philippines president and CEO Steven Tan said following the Miata's win.
"Under the supreme driver team of Angie King, Tyson Sy, and Gaby dela Merced, the team not only finished first overall against more powerful competitors, but broke the number of laps recorded for the 8-hour endurance challenge," the executive added.
This isn't the first time the current-generation MX-5 has proven its reliability in local motorsports. It won the 12-Hour Kalayaan Cup in both 2019 and 2021, and won the 8-Oras ng Pilipinas in 2019.
So, where do you think the Mazda MX-5 ranks among local sports cars in terms of reliability?

Anissa Gray is an Emmy and duPont-Columbia award-winning journalist and a debut novelist. She grew up in a small western Michigan town, graduated from Western Michigan University, and earned a Masters in English from New York University. Gray began her career as a reporter at Reuters in Manhattan, and then worked for CNN as a broadcast journalist. She is currently a Senior Editor for CNN Worldwide in Atlanta, GA, where she lives with her wife. Her first novel, The Care and Feeding of Ravenously Hungry Girls, debuted in 2019 to wide critical acclaim, and was a 2019 LibraryReads pick for spring and an Indie Next pick.
Gray's novel The Care and Feeding of Ravenously Hungry Girls, is a gripping family saga told through the alternating voices of three sisters struggling with familial loyalty and love during a criminal trial that will decide the fate of the oldest sister, Althea, a formerly well-respected community member who is unexpectedly incarcerated along with her husband. Entertainment Weekly, the Washington Post, and Vogue think readers who are fans of Tamayri Jones or Celeste Ng will enjoy the new voice of Annisa Gray.
The Care and Feeding of Ravenously Hungry Girls was a Barnes and Noble Discover selection, praised by the Washington Post as "an absorbing commentary on love, family, and forgiveness," and by Bustle as a "stark, emotional story you don't want to miss." Delia Owens, the author of Where the Crawdad's Sing, describes the novel as "a powerfully written story story that guides us through a deep darkness toward a faint whisper of light seeping from beneath a closet door. A light that shows how love and forgiveness can come from unexpected places and triumph over more than we ever imagine."
Additional praise for The Care and Feeding of Ravenously Hungry Girls:
"A sharp family saga …. [the author's] very personal connection coupled with Gray's ability to translate hard emotion into straightforward prose make for a gripping read."—Vanity Fair
"Gray manages a large cast of characters with ease … A deep dive into the shifting alliances and betrayals among siblings."—Kirkus Reviews
"[A] moving debut…This is perfect for fans of Brit Bennett's The Mothers; readers will be deeply affected by this story of a family wrestling to support itself."—Publishers Weekly

While speaking to a class of Brown University graduates on Sunday, Oscar winner Robert De Niro said that while the U.S. had once been an "inspiring uplifting drama," it has recently turned into "a tragic dumbass comedy," the Associated Press reported.
De Niro urged graduates to "work to stop the insanity" and to make contemporary society a better place in which to live.
A day before his commencement address, De Niro described the state of political affairs as "nightmarish" and called President Trump an "idiot," Entertainment Weekly reported.
De Niro has regularly been critical of Trump, saying last summer that he was "totally nuts" and unqualified" to be president.
A month before the election, De Niro was filmed during an outtake for a celebrity endorsement video saying he'd "like to punch [Trump] in the face."

Ramallah: Palestinian officials asserted that Qatar is spending efforts to resume reconciliatory talks between Fatah and Hamas in Doha, after they were halted last week due to disputes concerning means to implement the reconciliation.
Head of Fatah Movement Information Department Munir al-Jaghoub told Asharq Al-Awsat newspaper: "We expect talks to resume on Monday or Tuesday. Fatah is determined to end the dispute and we call on Hamas to take the same stance. We should hold general elections to end the current division and whoever wins will rule in the West Bank and Gaza."
Al-Jaghoub said that Fatah presented its proposal to Hamas when talks had reached a dead-end. However, Hamas officials refused it.
"We will continue our efforts in this regard," he said.
The latest talks between Fatah and Hamas collapsed after rival parties reached a dead-end concerning the file of former employees and the Palestinian Legislative Council, in addition to the program of the anticipated national unity government.
Hamas blamed Fatah for the failure of the Doha-hosted talks after it said the rival group shifted its position on agreements reached in prior meetings.
Hamas spokesman Sami Abu Zuhri said Fatah has reneged on its promises to revive the Palestinian Legislative Council and resolve the problem of Gaza employees.
Sources said that Fatah insists on establishing a unity government that adopts the program of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO), which is rejected by Hamas," he said.
Abu Zuhri added that the Fatah delegation did not complete the day's scheduled meetings and withdrew during the second session.
Fatah spokesman Osama al-Qawasmi replied by saying that the delegation headed to Doha with a decision to end the division based on partnership, democracy and forming a national unity government.
Al-Qawasmi added that the Doha meetings showed that Hamas is "not ready yet for national unity and political partnership."
He stressed that Fatah will continue its efforts to end division between both factions, and will continue "urging Hamas to head towards real national unity."
The current round of talks between Fatah and Hamas in Doha, the third of its kind, aim at continuing discussions on reaching a national unity government.
Sources close to the matter told Asharq Al-Awsat that old disputes between both factions remained unsolved, as participants in the Doha talks failed to agree on the political program of the next national unity government, the issue of former employees from the Hamas Movement and the Palestinian Legislative Council.
The sources said that Hamas delegation insisted that all its former government employees be quickly reemployed. However, the Fatah delegation replied that a legal committee is ready to reemploy some and to compensate for the others. Hamas refused again. At the end of talks, the Fatah delegation concluded that reaching an agreement remained complicated.
Deputy Secretary-general of the Fatah Central Committee Jibril Rajoub told Hamas officials: "Let us hold elections… We want to set a date, so when you have an answer, you know our phone numbers."

A: If you are using Sublime text editor, you can go to View > Identation > Convert Identation to spaces.

A: Find an option in your editor to highlight/show tabs or spaces.  Or just delete all indentation and re-add it using only tabs or only spaces carefully.

A: It may be due to while providing spaces in your code lines, u provided some space with tab and some space with spacebar.
Try to use "ONLY" spacebar or "ONLY" Tab button for single line.
i.e. for this code line "      $(document).ready(function(){" either provide space with tab only or space only.
Hope this helps.

A:
Pug(formerly Jade) template works on identical indention.
You need to choose space or tab in your pug file. You can't use both.

Choose common indent from your editor and out from this weird error

A: if you are using vscode just install an extension called "Pug beautify" and it will do the work for you

Fatty acids, the immune response, and autoimmunity: a question of n-6 essentiality and the balance between n-6 and n-3.
The essentiality of n-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) is described in relation to a thymus/thymocyte accretion of arachidonic acid (20:4n-6, AA) in early development, and the high requirement of lymphoid and other cells of the immune system for AA and linoleic acid (1 8:2n-6, LA) for membrane phospholipids. Low n-6 PUFA intakes enhance whereas high intakes decrease certain immune functions. Evidence from in vitro and in vivo studies for a role of AA metabolites in immune cell development and functions shows that they can limit or regulate cellular immune reactions and can induce deviation toward a T helper (Th)2-like immune response. In contrast to the effects of the oxidative metabolites of AA, the longer-chain n-6 PUFA produced by gamma-linolenic acid (18:3n-6, GLA) feeding decreases the Th2 cytokine and immunoglobulin (Ig)G1 antibody response. The n-6 PUFA, GLA, dihomo-gamma-linolenic acid (20:3n-6, DHLA) and AA, and certain oxidative metabolites of AA can also induce T-regulatory cell activity, e.g., transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta-producing T cells; GLA feeding studies also demonstrate reduced proinflammatory interleukin (IL)-1 and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha production. Low intakes of long-chain n-3 fatty acids (fish oils) enhance certain immune functions, whereas high intakes are inhibitory on a wide range of functions, e.g., antigen presentation, adhesion molecule expression, Th1 and Th2 responses, proinflammatory cytokine and eicosanoid production, and they induce lymphocyte apoptosis. Vitamin E has a demonstrable critical role in long-chain n-3 PUFA interactions with immune functions, often reversing the effects of fish oil. The effect of dietary fatty acids on animal autoimmune disease models depends on both the autoimmune model and the amount and type of fatty acids fed. Diets low in fat, essential fatty acid deficient (EFAD), or high in long-chain n-3 PUFA from fish oils increase survival and reduce disease severity in spontaneous autoantibody-mediated disease, whereas high-fat LA-rich diets increase disease severity. In experimentally induced T cell-mediated autoimmune disease, EFAD diets or diets supplemented with long-chain n-3 PUFA augment disease, whereas n-6 PUFA prevent or reduce the severity. In contrast, in both T cell- and antibody-mediated autoimmune disease, the desaturated/elongated metabolites of LA are protective. PUFA of both the n-6 and n-3 families are clinically useful in human autoimmune-inflammatory disorders, but the precise mechanisms by which these fatty acids exert their clinical effects are not well understood. Finally, the view that all n-6 PUFA are proinflammatory requires revision, in part, and their essential regulatory and developmental role in the immune system warrants appreciation.

These are some of the twenty or so civilians killed by the security forces in the past month. The home minister has come out with statements like: "Parents should ensure that their children remain indoors. It is the responsibility of parents," He further said that the purpose of moving in the Army was to "serve as a deterrent." The Army would be in Kashmir "as long as it is necessary" to deal with the situation there. Fingers have been pointed at terrorist groups as well as the half-hearted attempts of the ruling NC state government to control the situation. But it is increasingly clear that spaces for civil dissent in Kashmir are few and continually shrinking. The armed forces have been used to crush all forms of civilian dissent in Kashmir and the protests and protesters in the valley are always criminalised more than anywhere else in the country.
No one from the central government has come out with a statement expressing grief at the loss of so many young lives and consoling the bereaved families. And all the while the civilian death-toll is mounting and will continue to do so as long as the Armed Forces (Jammu and Kashmir) Special Powers Act, 1990 (AFSPA)—which gives army officers the power to open fire on protesters and anyone else they decide is a potential lawbreaker whilst granting all personnel impunity from prosecution under civil law—remains in force in Kashmir.
Whatever our separate and individual takes on azaadi and armed insurgency, there cannot be any doubt that these killings of unarmed civilians—mostly angry teenagers—by the armed forces in Kashmir are gross violations of human rights and civil liberties. We must come together to
express our solidarity with the families of those who have been killed in the recent events and also with those who are protesting against the continued presence and the misconducts of the armed forces in the valley
strongly condemn the violence and the role of the security forces
insist that the Government of India and the state government take immediate action to prevent further loss of life and property and initiate an impartial investigation into the recent killings
demand the immediate repeal of the Armed Forces (Jammu and Kashmir) Special Powers Act, 1990 (AFSPA)
demand immediate steps for the gradual demilitarization of the valley with troops confined to the border areas
A candle light protest will be held on July 24, 2010 in front of Academy of Fine Arts between 5pm and 8 pm to protest and denounce the killings and human rights violation in Kashmir in the past weeks. We invite you to come and join the vigil and voice your protest. Please forward this appeal to others. We are also sorry about crosspostings, if there are any.
We would also request you to get in touch with us by July 16, 2010 to let us know if you would like to support and participate in the vigil.

New Product Review: The College Board's SpringBoard English Language Arts and Language Workshop
Learning List recently reviewed the College Board's SpringBoard English Language Arts and Language Workshop middle school resources (i.e., grades 6-8), which were submitted for state adoption in Texas in response the Texas Education Agency's Proclamation 2019 call for K-8 English language arts and reading (ELAR) products aligned to the new ELAR Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS). Both resources focus on developing English language arts skills through active learning. At each grade level, instruction emphasizes the development of the knowledge and skills needed for rigorous coursework, including Advanced Placement (AP) courses.
Core content is presented in SpringBoard's English Language Arts resource. Content at each grade is organized in four thematic units. For example, at grade 6, reading selections address the theme of change. Students explore the concepts of change and growth in their own lives and in the lives of real and imagined characters. Each unit includes a balance of literary and informational texts and opportunities for students to respond to non-print texts, such as photographs and clips from audio recordings and films. For the most part, units incorporate reading selections that present the experiences of diverse individuals and cultures. [Read more…]
SpringBoard includes a "Language Workshop" resource at each grade level. Language Workshops address reading and writing for specific purposes (e.g., reading and writing a myth, reading and writing an argumentative essay) as well as foundational skills (e.g., common prefixes and suffixes). At each grade level, two Workshops are provided for each English Language Arts unit, and Workshops reflect the related unit's thematic emphasis. For example, the first unit in English Language Arts at grade 8 explores the challenges of heroism. Correspondingly, the Language Workshop's first workshop is titled "Reading and Writing a Hero's Journey Narrative."

Christoffer Granbom is one of freeride snowboarding's unsung heroes. Born August 29th, 1984, in the coastal city of Gothenburg, Sweden he was far from a child snowboarding prodigy. Once he finally made it to the mountains and was bitten by the snowboarding bug, he realized he needed a change of surroundings if he wanted to improve his big mountain skills. Soon after, he made the move to Verbier, Switzerland where snowboarding took on a whole new meaning and Christoffer dared to dream of turning his favorite sport into something more than just a pastime.
In 2015, he decided to try to qualify for the Freeride World Tour. The grand finale, the Xtreme Verbier was held every year in his adopted hometown. By finishing 2nd in three Freeride World Qualifier events in his first attempt at qualification, he found himself competing against the planet's best freeride snowboarders on the Freeride World Tour 2016. In 2017 he won his first and only FWT event, a competition that should have been held in Chamonix, but due to unsafe conditions had to be rescheduled and was run in Andorra instead, where his fluid and aerial oriented style shone through over the rest of the field. In doing so he became the only rider that year to defeat reigning world champion Sammy Luebke who won the other four tour stops that season on the way to his second FWT crown. After another exciting but frustrating year of competing in 2018, Christoffer decided to step away from the contest circuit to concentrate on creating spectacular snowboarding imagery with some of the best filmers and photographers in the sport.
Since I do nothing but workout, eat healthy and never drink, an athlete page seemed suiting.

Turkey "Heading In Wrong Direction" Over Syria: US
Written by NDTV
Published in World
Brussels, Belgium: Turkey is "heading in the wrong direction" with its incursion into Syria and its deal with Russia to jointly patrol a "safe zone" there, US Defense Secretary Mark Esper warned Thursday.
"Turkey put us all in a very terrible situation" by sweeping into northern Syria this month to fight Kurdish militia allied with the US in the fight against the Islamic State group, Mark Esper told a conference in Brussels ahead of a NATO defence ministers' meeting.
"I think the incursion's unwarranted," Mark Esper said.
The onus was on Turkey's NATO allies to now "work together to strengthen our partnership with them, and get them on the trend back to being the strong reliable ally of the past," he said.
The issue of Turkey's military offensive in Syria is set to dominate the two-day NATO meeting, with diplomats in the organisation saying "frank" discussions with Ankara's representatives have already taken place.
A subsequent arrangement with Russia to clear Kurdish militia that Turkey regards as "terrorists" linked to the outlawed PKK group on its soil has also raised hackles.
Yet, while isolated in NATO, Turkey's strategic position between Europe and the Middle East is seen as too important to jeopardise, so the other alliance members have limited themselves to criticism only.
Mark Esper defended the US decision to pull US forces out of northern Syria, effectively opening the path to the Turkish operation.
"The US decision to withdraw less than 50 soldiers from the zone of attack was made after it was made very clear to us that President (Recep Tayyip) Erdogan made the decision to come across the border," he said.
He added that "I was not about to put less than 50 US soldiers in between a 15,000-man-plus Turkish army preceded by Turkish militia and jeopoardise the lives of those servicemen". Nor was he "about to start a fight with a NATO ally," he said.
Mark Esper acknowledged "there has been some criticism" about the US withdrawal "but nobody's yet offered a better alternative to what the United States did. We are trying to keep a very strategic perspective."
In his speech and question-and-answer session at the event hosted by the German Marshall Fund think tank, Mark Esper highlighted threats he said were posed by Iran, Russia and, especially and above all, China.
"NATO allies should be looking east," to China, he said, stating that Beijing's "heavy hand" was being seen politically, militarily and economically not only in Asia but further abroad, including into Europe with its "belt-and-road" project.
Adoption by NATO allies of China's Huawei company to build 5G telecoms networks would be a threat to intel-sharing within the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation, he said.
"I'll counsel our allies -- if Huawei becomes your provider of choice, this will affect our ability to share intelligence. We can't trust those networks," he said, adding: "We need to address those threats with eyes wide open."

One thing that has always irked me about myself is my irrational fear of the dark. I've had this fear as long as I could remember, but don't know why. At the time I was a college student, living alone, and stuck in a dead-end job at a local fast food joint. I had some serious problems, so one day I decided to visit a therapist.
At the time, I also had a long list of fears, so we tackled those until only my deepest phobias were left. The first thing the therapist tried doing was discovering the basis of the fear, but I didn't know why. This didn't faze him in the slightest, he brushed that aside and moved on. He started off with a lesson that I thought of all week. One time when I was playing some video games in my basement, I decided to test out if his advice worked.
I shut the games off, then prepared myself for what was coming. I had two floors to go before I reached my bed, and plenty of places for my mind to worry about on the way.
I slowly walked up the stairs to the first floor, my eyes squeezed tightly shut. I didn't dare open them, what if I saw a beast in the dark? What if my greatest fear manifested itself in my house? My own place of safety?
I finally opened my eyes when I reached the hallway upstairs, and it was completely dark. I felt like the walls were pushing in on me, and trying to suffocate me.
As I reached the top of the stairs, I turned left, to the bathroom, and a face flashed out at me. A second later I turned away, it was a trick of the light. Besides, I didn't need the bathroom anymore anyways.
I walked shakily into my room, turned on my nightlight, turned off my main light, and climbed into bed. About two minutes into attempted sleep, I heard a crashing noise downstairs, sounds like a bunch of silverware and plates had been dropped to the floor. I sat up and sprinted out of my room, what could have made that noise?
I rushed down the stairs, and ran to the kitchen, expecting to find a giant mess. I reached around slowly, not wanting to scrape my hand on any broken glass, of course I was to lazy to replace the light, that would make things a lot easier... I found some liquids spilled around, and a squishy round object. Had my cat knocked over a vase?
There, in my hand, was a single human eyeball.

Malcolm's Musings: Anomalies
If you keep your eyes and your mind open, you will find that the paranormal, the miraculous, the simply inexplicable, not only happen, but are not even uncommon. So, to complement my Cryptozoology blog, I have set aside this one for items outside the scientific paradigm. Except for the first post (September 2011), which describes my own experiences, every post is provided with a reference. My aim has been to alert you to otherwise forgotten stories, in case they form part of a pattern.
Index to This Site
When the Floor Gaped Open
One of the interesting aspects of anomalies is that sometimes the really unusual, rare phenomena - so rare that they are usually overlooked - can be well documented. Thus, the case of the talking stovepipe was meticulously investigated by the police and other city officials, not to mention the crowds which gathered round. Similarly, the room that forced people to walk on their hands was investigated on the orders of the local magistrate. And the terrifying experience of a couple in Bristol in 1873 had its day in court.
It was established in court that Thomas B. Cumpston, 26 and his wife, Anne Martha Cumpston, of Virginia Road, Leeds "occupied good positions in Leeds" and were of irreproachable character. They had arrived in Bristol on 8 December, and booked into the Victoria Hotel. Yet in the small hours of that night (now 9 December), they were arrested for disorderly behaviour at the railway station. Both were in their nightclothes, and Mr Cumpston had fired a pistol. (Up until 1920 there was virtually no restriction on owning a hand gun the UK.)
Mr Cumpston was extremely agitated, and they told a story which made no sense at all, so it was off to the lockup with them, and the next day they were brought before the magistrates' court. Even then, the the young man was still so agitated he had difficulty expressing himself.
Anne Cumpston gave evidence that, early in the evening, they had been assailed by loud noises, but that the landlady, Mrs Tongue had reassured them. That same landlady gave evidence that she had also heard the sounds, but could not properly describe them. When, about 3 or 4 in the morning the noises began again, they leaped out of bed onto the floor, which appeared to give way. They heard either voices repeating their own exclamations, or else their own voices were echoing strangely. Suddenly, the floor gaped open, and Mr Cumpston started to fall in, only to be dragged out by his wife. That was too much; they both jumped out of the window and fled to the railway station, looking for a policeman.
Her evidence was essentially the same as husband had originally given to the arresting police officer. The police, naturally, investigated their room and found nothing amiss. In their opinion, the couple had suffered a "collective hallucination".
This, of course, is what we used to call a "Claytons explanation": the explanation you give when you are not giving an explanation. Under normal circumstances, the fact that two people see the same thing is taken as evidence that they are not hallucinating. But is there really such a thing as a "collective hallucination"?
Well, yes and no. I previously described situations where groups of people, under intense emotional stimuli, can be induced to see simple things which aren't there. But this is obviously not such a case. Likewise, there happens to be a rare psychiatric condition called folie á deux, in which two people share the same delusion. The requisite circumstances are that one is emotionally dominant over the other, and that they are socially isolated ie they don't get feedback from the real world. But a delusion is not an hallucination; it's a false belief. In a few cases, where schizophrenia is involved, hallucinations may be shared, but these are auditory, not visual hallucinations. Genuinely psychotic people normally "hear things" rather than "see things". The dramatic "hallucination" described here is more likely to result from sleep deprivation or psychedelic drugs. And, of course, such hallucinations aren't shared.
No! Let us accept that what happened to the Cumpstons remains unexplained, and go on to a couple of other cases. In the 1940s, the Rev. Dr. A. T. P. Byles, vicar of Yealmpton, Devon, together with his wife, happened to find a hole about a yard wide in the path in the churchyard. When he threw a stone down it, it appeared to hit stonework. The fact that they needed to throw a stone implies it was too deep to see the bottom. They hurried back to fetch planks to cover it, but when they returned, it had gone!
Very strange, indeed, but fairly benign. But more recently a student nurse had a similar experience to the Cumpstons'. She was having a cup of tea in her room about 8 a.m. when a hole suddenly appeared in the floor of her room. It took up most of the floor, and the edges looked like rock. She couldn't see the bottom. To add to her amazement, a voice told her to jump in, but she decided against it, and the hole vanished.
What does it all mean? Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, in his alter ego of Sherlock Holmes, said that it was a bad idea to speculate until you have all the facts. In the present case, this doesn't leave us very far to go. One could argue, of course, that since the events are impossible, the witnesses must have been making them up for no apparent reason, despite the fact that they are separated by decades and miles, and at least one couple must have been very good actors.
If we assume they did happen, then the most comfortable speculation is that they really were hallucinations - some sort of psychic delusion imposed by some sort of external agency - and that the floor or ground did not really open up.
The most frightening suggestion - and fantasy novelists would have a field day with it - is that holes to another reality really did open up. Where did they lead to? And have other people, unrecorded, disappeared into them? People go missing permanently all the time. I know that Conan Doyle himself was puzzled by a case of a man who set out with his family for a short stroll, then returned to the house to fetch something he had forgotten, and was never seen again.
References: The account of the Cumpstons is taken from chapter 18 of Lo! (1931) by Charles Fort who, with his usual precision, cited the London Times of 11 Dec 1873 for the arrest, and the Bristol Daily Post of 10 December for the report of the court hearing. As I was writing this, I noticed that "Undine" has provided the full text of the Times article, while another blogger has provided the text from both papers.
I have not been able to fully access the British Newspaper Archive site, but I notice that the story was also published in several other newspapers, notably the York Herald of 13 December, the Manchester Evening News of 10 December, the Birmingham Daily Post of 11 December, and the Southern Reporter (Selkirkshire, Scotland) of 18 December.
The other two cases were related by Janet Bord in Fairies, real encounters with little people (1997), and she gave references.

Loved it! Have a look at a recent case in Australia (2017) when an entire family had a paranoia based episode.

I delved into this little known fortean anomaly - that of the sudden holes - there are a few other cases - and the Cumpstons as well. There is a Cumpston family researcher online which I contacted - but as the researcher was swallowed up by the earth - I never got a reply.

How do I be professional though I do not know anything after promotion to a high office surrounded by witty young people , who observe me in an uneasy way , as I was promoted late?
I am one of the prominent people in the church, and I was in the position to take over the administrative activities of the church. That position was given to many youngsters who are inexperienced. This is due to politics happening in there, but due to the fact that I have potential in me, I was promoted.
Many mistakes happen in front of them like I am not able to concentrate in my speeches, the other admin activities, I go on to speak something I ought not to speak or suggest others, also I have to travel around 16 miles one way in heavy traffic per day.
They come up in a manner that I am a hopeless guy. they always see me in a dejected way.
and accentuate it. The rest usually takes care of itself. Be a little patient with your four year old. He is just trying to figure things out too.
In regards to your work at church, I would take things with a grain of salt. I remember being in my early twenties and believing that I knew everything in life. I thought I was bulletproof, couldn't be hurt by anything, and did many things that were inconsiderate because of my pride.
Now I realize that life is fragile, I do get hurt (physically and emotionally), and that there are many things that I do not know.
These people are also in a different stage of life than you are. They are not married and do not have children. Marriage and kids will force people to grow up in a hurry. The people you work with have not had a spouse and children relying on them day in and day out. There is a completely different mindset in that type of environment.
There isn't much that I am going to be able to say that will change the people you work with. Since you cannot change them, you have to work on changing you.
My whole point in talking about their stage of life and their mindset is that in order to get along with people, you have to first understand them. By being aware of their life circumstances, you begin to understand them so that you can communicate with them in a meaningful way.
Although I do not know the particulars of your situation, it seems as though there is a miscommunication somewhere. Gaining perspective on their situation will improve the communication issues.
