What is the relationship between divorce and depression?
Divorce, in many cases is accompanied by despair, guilt, shame, sense of failure, emptiness, frustration, anxiety, headaches and so forth.
In other words, divorce in many cases is accompanied by depression and suffering that is causing an individual to display symptoms of divorce depression.
Even though the relationship between divorce and depression is strong, sometimes divorce can be a depression relief, if a marriage was dysfunctional and depressive.
However, an important thing to notice is that in most cases, divorce, after even a bad marriage is accompanied by depression and sense of failure.
Nobody is proud about getting divorced, especially if they have children. Children are often ashamed to say that their parents are divorced and they fantasize of getting their parents back together. Children suffer a lot and should be protected from divorce turmoil as much as possible. Parents should never argue in front of the children or talk about divorce if their decision to get divorced is not final.
Divorce is a crisis and as in any crisis, people that are getting divorced are facing overwhelming stress, which causes many illnesses including depression.
How to deal with divorce and depression?
Dealing with divorce and depression is a process that needs to be organized and worked on in psychotherapy or divorce counseling. Depression is an illness and as with any other illness, if not properly treated, it can become more severe and cause even more suffering.
Unfortunately, many people try to self-medicate with alcohol or drugs when going through divorce. This is wrong and can have great consequences. It only makes things much more difficult and deepens depression. If you have alcohol problems, you need to participate in alcohol counseling as well as in psychotherapy or divorce counseling.
There are many things you can do to ease your process of coping with divorce and depression. However, you cannot do it on your own. Professional help is strongly recommended for any type of depression. In addition, there is nothing bad in asking for help from your family members or friends, especially when they are prepared to support you and give you what you need in this time of crisis.
Psychotherapy or divorce counseling should be the foundation of your recovery process. Dealing with depression in the right way is being in therapy and having professional help and guidance. However, even though having a therapist or counselor is strongly recommended and very helpful, he or she cannot do all the work for you. In the end, you are the one that needs to make changes in your life and fight depression.
You have to understand that it is in your power to overcome depresion and that it is your responsibility to get better. Of course, you need help, but nobody can help you if you are not prepared to help yourself first.
Do not look at you divorce as the end of your life, but as the beginning of the new chapter of your life. How good and fulfilling that new chapter of your life will be, depends on you and only you. For as long as you believe that it is in your power to change your life and make it better, you have that power.
You can surrender to your divorce and depression pain and allow it to defeat you, but you can also use it to become a stronger and better person by fighting it and overcoming it. You have two paths to choose from, one that leads to the dark depths of depression and another one that leads to better life. Which one will you choose?

Title: Tunable magnetic phases in quasi-one-dimensional systems
Authors: Alfredo X. Sánchez, Jean-Pierre Leburton
(Submitted on 5 Feb 2015 (v1), last revised 16 Feb 2015 (this version, v2))
Abstract: There has been considerable debate on the onset of exotic spin phenomena in quantum wires due to enhanced many-body effects caused by the one-dimensional (1D) alignment of charge carriers. We explain various observed spin effects, such as a carrier density-dependent spin-flip in dilute quasi-1D systems and the variability of the spin polarization in quantum point contacts, by using an unrestricted Hartree-Fock approach with a three-dimensional (3D) Coulomb interaction. The model dimensionality is critical in identifying a complex pattern of magnetic phases varying with confinement and magnetic field. In the limit of vanishing magnetic fields, we show the emergence of a degenerate excited state with opposite spin polarization above a confinement-dependent 1D concentration threshold, which is consistent with observations of a conductance plateau at half the conductance quantum $G_{0}/2=e^{2}/h$, even in the absence of spin-orbit interactions. Moreover, spin polarization disappears in highly-asymmetrically confined wires, and strictly two-dimensional systems.

Death Abroad
Shipping Remains
Home Resources Operations & Management Shipping Remains Death Abroad
When a United States citizen dies abroad, a consular officer from the nearest U.S. Embassy or Consulate has the responsibility to report the death to the Department of State and to inform the closest known relative or legal representative. This is normally done by a detailed cable sent directly from the overseas post to the next of kin in the United States. The cable is official notification of the death, and also outlines the options available and the costs involved in the disposition of the remains. Disposition of the remains must be accomplished in accordance with the laws and customs of the host country. The following options will normally be available in most countries.
Preparation and Return of the Embalmed Remains
Returning the embalmed remains is normally the option most acceptable to families faced with the death of a family member overseas. Funeral directors in the U.S. are understandably more involved with family members and with the Department of State in matters relating to the return of the remains than in the other options mentioned.
Preparation and shipment of the remains must be carried out in accordance with local laws, regulations, and customs. Embalming in most foreign countries is not widely practiced and cosmetic embalming that meets U.S. standards is rare. Although there are methods to prepare the body for shipment, it is important to remember that this preparation will normally not render the remains suitable for viewing. Funeral directors should be prepared to advise the family on the issue.
Costs for preparation and shipment of the remains are high because of the embalming fees and the air freight costs. Charges for these services vary widely depending on the geographic location and facilities available. After the receipt of the necessary funds, there will normally be a three to ten-day interval before the remains are actually shipped.
Cremation and Return of Cremated Remains to the U.S., or Disposition Locally
Although cremation is available in most countries, local regulations and religious customs may forbid the cremation of human remains in predominately Catholic and Moslem countries. In certain other countries, facilities for cremation may be quite limited, such as only one crematorium in the country. This would necessitate transporting the remains to the facility which could be several hundred miles from the place of death. Such additional arrangements would, of course, be time consuming and would result in delaying the return of the remains to the United States. In these instances, costs for cremation would be substantially greater. The family or the estate is, of course, also responsible for the cost of returning the cremated remains to the U.S., or other disposition.
Burial in Country Where Death Occurred
Local burial in the country where the death occurred is usually less costly to the family than the other options available. If desired by the family, a consular officer will take all possible care to follow the instructions of the family as to ceremony and burial site. In some countries local regulations will not permit the burial of foreign nationals. In this instance, the family will be so informed in the cable from the overseas post.
Regardless of the option chosen by the family, it is imperative that a decision be made immediately and that this information be relayed to the appropriate foreign service post. This can either be done directly by the family or through the Overseas Citizen Services in the Department of State. This is important because most foreign countries require that disposition of remains take place within a certain time lapse. This can range from 24 hours to five days depending on the geographic location and local custom. In some instances it will depend on the facilities available in the country to preserve the body. If death occurs in an isolated area where no facilities are available to maintain the body, disposition may be ordered immediately by local officials. In these cases, the family may request exhumation and shipment of the remains. This, however, can only be accomplished in accordance with the statutory requirements of the host country.
Finally, all associated costs relating to the disposition of the remains are the responsibility of the family. There are no U.S. Government funds appropriated for the repatriation of the remains of a deceased U.S. citizen.
The Department's Overseas Citizen Services does assist families here by expeditiously transmitting the funds deposited by the family to the concerned post overseas. The consular officer then disburses the funds necessary to accomplish the wishes of the family, provides an accounting, and refunds any surplus. If the family cannot assume financial responsibility and there are insufficient funds among the deceased's personal effects, the U.S. Consul must request that the local foreign authorities make appropriate disposition according to local law, such as burial in an unmarked "potters grave."
Funeral directors, family members, or their representatives should not hesitate to contact the Overseas Citizen Services, telephone 202-647-5225, for assistance in all matters relating to the death of U.S. citizens abroad. The Service provides emergency services on a 24-hour a day basis.

Before million dollar contracts, televisions,…and steroids, men played base ball for the fun of it. Now you can witness what a sporting event was like in Gettysburg in 1864. Six fine clubs from around the region will participate in an actual base ball tournament on July 17 & 18 at the Hickory Hollow Farm using the same rules and customs as well as the same style uniforms and equipment that would have been used in the Mid 19th century!
To put on such a tournament, we need the public's help both from businesses and individuals. If you think this soon to be summertime tradition would be a great addition to Gettysburg, would you please consider becoming a patron of the tournament? Your $20 will go a long way to paying for the expenses of the event.
___ Yes, I want to take advantage of the parking pass ___ No a parking spot is not necessary.
100 Augusta Drive, Elkton, MD 21921. or you can drop it off at Gettysburg Eddies..
I am interested in being a Golden Patron. Is it too late to do that?
Sure John. Just email us at elktonbase_ball@yahoo.com and we"ll make sure you are taken care of.

Despite my best efforts at painting wooden propellers, I have to admit nothing I've done captures the look of real wood anything like... well, real wood. Trouble is, carving an accurate wooden propeller is no easy task in itself - which is one reason why most modellers are resigned to making do with painted kit props.
So I was very excited when I was contacted recently by Douglas Craner, an artist and scratchbuilder who has decided to make his hand carved 1:32 wooden propellers commercially available and sent a pair of Axial types for review.
The propellers arrived very safely packaged in a novel way - individually wrapped in paper and held firmly inside a CD jewel-case. I've never seen a jewel-case used for this before, but it offers ideal protection for delicate items such as these.
The propellers themselves are simply exquisite, with finely reproduced contours, sharp trailing edges and a smooth polished finish. Each one represents some three hours work by Douglas, from making a "blank" from a sandwich of close-grained veneers of ash and mahogany, painstakingly carving the correct shape and then varnishing with stained shellac for the final finish. The Axial propellers feature six laminations, while some other types have as many as eight. The result is remarkable; there's just something about the natural grain under varnish that almost seems to "glow" with a life that is hard to replicate.
The propellers are supplied with a pre-drilled hole and the position of the boss marked. Douglas did not originally intend to supply a hub - the one seen here is made from Milliput for demonstration purposes - but is testing casting resin versions with a view to supplying the propellers fully "ready to go", so modellers won't need to resort to aftermarket extras and can simply add manufacturers' logos taken from the kits' decals.
A hand-carved wooden propeller really is the icing on the cake for a largescale WW1 or Golden Age subject, and part of the beauty of them is that, just like their full-sized counterparts, no two are precisely identical - you will have something truly unique for your model. At £15 each I believe they represent very good value for money in view of the time they take to produce by a master craftsman and they deserve to be a great success. Highly recommended.
Highs: Superbly carved and finished. Excellent value, considering the time and skill involved in producing a unique handmade item.
Lows: The price will inevitably be an obstacle for some.
Verdict: Perhaps the ultimate eye candy for a largescale model of a WW1 or Golden Age fighter. There's nothing quite like a real wooden propeller - and you can always cheat and pretend you have the talent to carve it yourself!
Our Thanks to The Prop Shop!

Sterling and Clemma Elmore.

Couple shares 60-year love story behind 'Notebook' photos
Sterling and Clemma tell the world why their marriage is filled with magic.
Author: WTSP Staff

Updated: 5:17 AM EDT September 8, 2016
Editor's Note:Clemma and Sterling Elmore have become an internet sensation after their "Notebook"-themed photos went viral. Below the story, find more photos from their session and a sweet video of the photographer's work.
Stacy Welch-Christ, 40, is your typical small-town farm girl.
She lives in Wewoka, Oklahoma, with her husband, Ryan, and two daughters, Grace, 9, and Clara, 5. The city's population is somewhere around 3,000.
Born in an "even smaller" town named Sasakwa, with just 100 residents, this mom most certainly hasn't experienced big-city living.
But she's gained notoriety around the world in a matter of days.
Stacy, who studied business and kinesiology before earning a bachelor's degree at East Central University, is creative, to say the least.
After getting married in 2001, she gave birth to her daughters and suffered a pregnancy loss in between, something that's had a big impact on her appreciation of every single moment. She pours that passion into her work.
Three years ago, in the midst of homeschooling her girls and helping with the family's feed store, Angus Valley Ranch & Equipment (where they also live), she discovered her true calling.
Stacy Welsh-Christ, with husband Ryan Christ, and their daughters, Grace, 9, and Clara, 5.
And now, the world is in awe of her latest creation.
Stacy owns Mary Evelyn Photography (named in honor of her grandmothers), a business she started with much encouragement from loved ones.
To this day, she credits her husband, parents and younger sister for motivating her to keep creating magic.
"I've always been the family photographer," she says. "I don't want to miss a moment – I always get all the couples together … it's what I've always done."
Her sister-in-law, Amber, suggested she take her hobby and turn it into a career, and ever since, Stacy's been shooting away.
But it wasn't until earlier this month that her photos started making their way around the world – and one couple, in particular, was the catalyst.
Sterling & Clemma
A page from their 'Notebook'
"Amber's good friend, Starla, was my first 'real' photo shoot," Stacy says. "She has always encouraged me. She sent me a message one day, saying 'I know you love to take pictures of sweet moments – have you ever thought about Clemma and Sterling (Elmore)? How about capturing their love.' "
The couple has been married for almost 58 years. Clemma is 76, and Sterling is 80.
Sterling and Clemma Elmore are deeply in love
"They're the sweetest people I have ever met," Stacy says. "They're affectionate, and they say 'I love you' at least 10 times a day. She said he loves on her, hugs her, every single day."
Staying with each other through all life's circumstances is not an easy task – and for Stacy, one popular movie reflects that special connection.
"I'm so inspired by 'The Notebook,' " she explains. The movie, released in 2004, stars Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams as a 1940s couple that defied all odds to live the love of a lifetime.
"Some people grow out of that," Stacy says. "But not Clemma and Sterling."
The photographer wanted to capture the couple's love forever – and what better way than by staging a "Notebook"-themed photo shoot?
"Clemma was nervous, but excited," Stacy explains. "I found the dress at a thrift store, got some outfits together. Sterling, he dressed as he usually does, he loves cute little hats. I told them, 'Look, this is just for fun. This is gonna be the best memory. ' "
Clemma holds love letters from Sterling.
So they went for it.
On the day of the shoot, their great-grandchildren were playing in the pasture while they posed, and it was an extremely emotional experience.
"When they would kiss," Stacy says, "we would have tears running down our face. It was the sweetest thing to watch – they just lean right in. It was the most natural thing ever."
The session, which lasted about an hour, included some shots with a 1954 Chevy as the backdrop.
"I told Sterling to think back to when he was courting her, and to lean in while sitting on the truck and give her a smooch," Stacy says. "That was my favorite part … Clemma would say, 'Ooh, Sterling, don't get too anxious, be patient!' "
So, the million-dollar question:
What's the secret to making the magic last?
It comes down to love
A culmination of life's moments in time
"She told me they do everything together," Stacy says. "They keep a lot of love in their marriage. They aren't afraid to show love, and they tell each other throughout the day. Clemma said, 'I wanted someone to show me every day how much he loves me. That's why Sterling was perfect.' "
Clemma and Sterling pose on a 1957 Chevy truck.
Clemma recalls the moment she first laid eyes on her man.
"They were at a burger joint," Stacy says. "She and her friend were trying to find money to split a burger, and he was trying to get up the courage to come up to her, give her the money and buy it. The first time he saw her, he said he knew she was the one."
Stacy, who calls this, by far, her favorite shoot to date, explains how Clemma and Sterling's love is a culmination of life's moments in time.
"All those engagement shoots, family shoots, it all rounds out to that legacy of where you stayed together," she says, "That's the end product, right there, of every other shoot I do. You hope and pray that they have this wonderful life ... and it goes from there. I would have loved to do this with my grandparents - they had a legacy of love, too."
Toward the end of the shoot, after one specific kiss, Stacy recalls Sterling whispering something into his bride's ear.
Another magical moment in their love story.

U.S. freezes civilian nuclear deal with Russia over Georgia
RBTH
U.S. President George Bush has frozen a civilian nuclear cooperation deal with Russia amid the current Georgia crisis.
The news was announced on Monday in a statement by U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice that read: "The president has notified Congress that he has today rescinded his prior determination regarding the U.S.-Russia agreement for peaceful nuclear cooperation."
"We make this decision with regret. Unfortunately, given the current environment, the time is not right for this agreement," the statement went on.
The so-called 1-2-3 Agreement will now not be sent to Congress for a vote as planned. However, analysts have suggested that the move, while to be seen as an expression of dissatisfaction with Russia over Georgia, will also make sure that the accord is not killed outright.
The agreement would have opened up possibilities for widespread commercial nuclear trade, transfers of technology, and joint nuclear research between Washington and Moscow. It would also have cleared the way for Russia to make headway with importing and storing spent nuclear fuel from U.S.-supplied reactors - a highly profitable business.
Bush's letter to Congress said that the deal could not go through at present in light of Russia's actions with regard to its "democratic neighbor Georgia."
"In view of recent actions by the Government of the Russian Federation incompatible with peaceful relations with its sovereign and democratic neighbor Georgia, I have determined that the determination regarding the proposed Agreement in Presidential Determination 2008-19 is no longer effective," read the letter.
The letter also said that the fate of the deal would be determined by further developments.
A Russian first deputy prime minister said on Tuesday that he considered the peaceful cooperation of Russia and the U.S. in the nuclear sector essential, and that the two countries would continue their work in this sphere in the future.
"For Russia and the U.S., as two great powers, it is very important to develop cooperation in the sphere of the peaceful use of the atom, which should be mutually beneficial," said Igor Shuvalov.
"Maybe not now, but in the future, Russia and the U.S. will undertake mutually beneficial cooperation [in the nuclear sphere]," he added.
The move to freeze the deal comes shortly after the U.S. announced a $1 billion aid package for Georgia, and on the same day that French President Nicolas Sarkozy held talks in Moscow with Russian President Dmitry Medvedev on Georgia.
After the talks it was announced that Moscow had promised to pull all troops out of Georgia, but not South Ossetia or Abkhazia, within one month.
The current crisis began when Georgian forces launched a ground and air attack on the town of Tskhinvali, the capital of breakaway South Ossetia, on August 8. Most of the residents of the republic hold Russian citizenship, and Russia subsequently launched an operation to "force Georgia to accept peace."
Two weeks after the conclusion of the operation, Russian recognized South Ossetia and Abkhazia as independent states, despite warnings by Western leaders not to do so. So far, only Nicaragua has followed suit, although Belarus seems likely to do so later this month.
Both South Ossetia and Abkhazia split away from Georgia in the early 1990s. Thousands were killed in the ensuing conflicts.

Reworked aluminum cans and old newspapers stun at sold-out Trash 2 Trends fashion show
Bubble wrap is the new black.
Maybe not, but plastic shopping bags, aluminum cans, old newspapers and orange construction fencing were just some of the hottest materials on the runway at this year's Trash 2 Trends fashion show.
Presented at SeaWorld Orlando's Ports of Call on Saturday night, the sold-out event featured more than 30 designers from across the region who accepted the challenge to create outfits using materials typically found in the recycling bin.
The annual event is a fundraiser for Keep Orlando Beautiful, a 20-year-old nonprofit led by Jody Buyas whose mission is to make Orlando a healthier, safer and more livable and sustainable community. Last year's Trash 2 Trends event raised more than $17,000 for community projects such as tree plantings and the installation of recycling bins in city parks. (The total amount of money raised at this year's event won't be available until later this week.)
Now in its fourth year, the Trash 2 Trends show gives Orlando designers an opportunity to think outside the cardboard box and impress a team of judges who give out awards for "Top Design," "Most Wearable, "Best Use of Material" and "Avant Garde." This year's judges included Orlando City Commissioner Patty Sheehan, Downtown Arts District Executive Director Barbara Hartley, Maxine's On Shine owner Maxine Earhart and local designer Marcy Singhaus.
At Saturday's show, Red Bull cans became a corset. Old paint swatches stitched together created a long, flowing dress. Men's ties destined for the garbage bin were constructed into a kilt. Wine corks were tailored into a headdress. The guts of numerous VHS tapes shined as one model glided down the runway. In other words, if something was headed to the landfill, there's a possibility it could have had a second life at Trash 2 Trends.
Designer Kyana Wilborn, of Orlando, spent more than 80 hours creating a design she called "Color of Bloom." Using green, blue, pink, white, black and red plastic bags, Wilborn crocheted and hand-stitched a floral mini dress. Wilborn, who works at Walt Disney World, taught herself to crochet using YouTube videos to make the 1970-inspired dress, which won the award for "Most Wearable."
While the materials for the designs varied, each of the designers shared at least one thing in common: dedication to their work. Collectively, the Trash 2 Trends participants spent thousands of hours making their fashions.
It took designer Nancy Alonso, of Altamonte Springs, more than three months to collect materials and create the peacock-inspired piece she called "True Colors." A nurse at Florida Hospital, Alonso used rolled newspapers, broken compact discs, shattered mirrors, medicine bottle caps and paper clips to construct the design.
The multi-colored dress with movable plumage wowed the judges enough to give Alonso the "Top Design" award.
Alonso also won the "People's Choice" award.

With a Wolf Creek 840, Leslie and Bob McMichael have assembled their ultimate go anytime rig for hunting, fishing, off-roading, running, and bicycling throughout the Northwest. Then Bob puts on a kilt and breaks out the bagpipes.
The process of researching, selecting, and assembling the right truck and camper for you can be overwhelming. There are a ton of variables to nail down including truck preferences, camper layouts, truck and camper payload matching, your intended truck camping lifestyle, and possibly towing considerations.
Fortunately, Truck Camper Magazine has a plethora of articles and web tools to help you with this process. The Newbie Corner, Buyers Guide, and Camper Chooser were all designed to get you to the right truck and camper for you as fast as possible. We essentially created what we wish had existed when we out our first truck camper rig together 13 years ago. Where was the Newbie Corner in 2004?
The final result is incredibly worthwhile. As truck camper owners will tell you, having the right truck and camper rig assembled and ready to go at a moment's notice is truly awesome. When opportunity knocks, you can pack, load, and roll. Some truck camper owners even keep their rigs packed and loaded all the time. When free time happens, they simply hop in the truck and go.
Leslie and Bob McMichael have taken the spontaneous truck camping concept and ran with it – and biked with it, fished with it, and hunted with it. The go anytime versatility of truck camping has literally transformed Leslie and Bob's free time allowing them to take their hobbies, interests, and even side-hustles to the next level. Did we mention Bob plays the bagpipes for weddings while using their truck camper? That's right, their Wolf Creek doubles as a mobile Highland kilt dressing room.
Leslie: We both grew up tent camping in the 1960s and 1970s. Bob was raised in Laguna Beach, California by his single mother, a public school art teacher and his stepdad, an electrical engineer. They took him and his younger brother for extended car camping trips throughout the United States during summer.
I was raised in eastern Oregon. In the summer we loaded up the station wagon and camped in the national forests near our home. I did this maybe once or twice a summer with my parents and three siblings, plus all the stuff we needed; six heavy sleeping bags, a couple of canvas tents, coolers, food, stove, cooking gear, and clothes.
I always remember how much work my mom had to do getting everything and everyone ready for one overnight weekend camping trip. It was just as much work unloading everything when we got home. Those experiences, even though it was great our parents exposed us to the mountains, actually turned me off to car camping for awhile because it seemed like too much work.
When Bob and I met in our late thirties, we camped in the back of an old Toyota Four Runner with the seats folded down. Two years later we got married, sold the Toyota, bought a full-sized pickup, and slept in the back of our pick-up bed with a shell. It was spacious compared to the Toyota, but still not big enough for two people and a dog.
We outgrew that set-up and bought a pop-up trailer to pull with our pickup. The pop-up trailer was okay, but we quickly learned that we didn't like setting it up. If it was dark and raining, it was not much fun. Also, it wasn't warm enough for the cold Idaho fall camping weather, even with the heater running.
Then we bought a used VW EuroVan pop-up camper. It was great because it doubled as a vehicle to drive around town, and it was always ready for camping. My childhood experiences of hating to go car camping were now over.
Except for perishable food, the van was always stocked with everything and ready to go at a moment's notice. We did some amazing trips in the van but, after a couple of years, we realized our style of camping was increasingly off paved roads. The van didn't have high enough clearance for where we wanted to go. Sadly, we sold the EuroVan because of the clearance issue.
At that point we still had a full sized pick-up and we bought a travel trailer. The travel trailer was fine until we became boat owners and found out that we couldn't go camping with our boat. We can tow both the trailer and the boat in Idaho, but double-towing is illegal in Oregon.
So that, combined with our interest in off-road exploration, led us to truck campers. My brother-in-law had a pop-up truck camper. We slept in it once and liked it. From that experience, the mission was to find the perfect truck camper for us.
TCM: Did you have specific criteria for the perfect truck camper?

Q: Why do people say "too little too xyz" instead of "a little too xyz" I've heard people say for example "It was too little too late". But isn't it more suitable to use "a" instead of "too" there?
English is not my first language so I am sorry if this is an obvious question

A: The two things mean something rather different. "Too little, too late" indicates there was two shortfalls, "a little too late" indicates there was one shortfall.

Effort on your homework was too little and too late.

Here the speaker is indicating both that there was too little effort on the homework and that that effort was applied too late.

Effort on your homework was a little too late.

Here the speaker indicates only that the effort was too late, and the lateness was only a little lateness. Nothing is said of the size of the effort, only its tardiness.

A: I believe "too little too late" and "a little too late" express different things. "Too little too late" means not enough was done soon enough. "A little too late" means something did not happen when it was supposed to happen, but a little later. For example, if someone is sick and they do not get to a doctor until their sickness becomes fatal you could say it was too little too late. If an event was supposed to start at 6:00, but it does not start until 6:30 you could say it started a little late.

Q: Heroku No such app for Dropbox based app I had a app hosted on 'inputbox.herokuapp.com'.
My app was giving error even after successful deployment. So, I deleted the app and recreated the same app.
But now I am getting error message as:
"Heroku | No such app
There is no app configured at that hostname.
Perhaps the app owner has renamed it, or you mistyped the URL."

I looked around for heroku docs but nothing works.
I dont know how to get this fixed. Please help.

A: Check what apps you currenty have using
heroku apps

It should say something like
=== My Apps
inputbox

If it doesn't, then you know what the problem is. Let's say it has one of those silly generated names, then you can rename it using the following command:
heroku apps:rename inputbox

Happy hacking!

Ryegrass staggers is a neuromuscular disorder caused by ingestion of perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne) containing the endophyte fungus Epichloe festucae (Neotyphodium lolii). E. festucae produces several ergot alkaloids and indole-diterpene alkaloids, with Lolitrem B as the main toxin responsible for onset of clinical signs. Ryegrass staggers was first recognized in 1906, involving the muscular incoordination associated with horses and cattle grazing on ryegrass pastures.
The severity and morbidity of staggers varies among horses, with 5 to 75% of other horses in the same pasture, affected. Clinical signs vary from slight trembling in the neck following hard exercise to severe tetanic spasms and collapse.
Most outbreaks of ryegrass staggers occur in Australia and New Zealand. Sporadic cases have occurred in livestock in Europe and the Americas, most of them involving the consumption of contaminated hay. In Japan, there were several cases of ryegrass staggers associated with feeding cattle and horses with contaminated ryegrass straw that had been imported from Oregon.


Alex talks about how he started Commercial Progression, Drupal web design, and the importance of a great work culture.
Watch the interview with Tara Kachaturoff on Michigan Entrepreneur TV.
I dug this video out of the archives from the first DrupalCamp Michigan in 2011. While many Drupal developers have a lot of success building websites without a coding environment more complex than a text editor many times more serious tools are required. My presentation below gives users a basic introduction to debugging Drupal and how you can get started within no more than an hour worth of effort.
One of the nice things about Drupal is the low barrier to entry: anyone can download it, install it & have a basic site up and running in a few minutes. Unfortunately, once the initial setup is complete, people often don't bother to look at anything else other than what they need to start adding content to their sites.
We're Featured in U of M Dearborn's Alumni Magazine!
Creativity and innovation have inspired a number of alumni to forge their own careers across southeast Michigan. I was one of the alumni featured in the most recent issue of Legacy.
When National Geographic Networks needed a new Drupal site to preview their shows for advertisers, they turned to the Drupal experts at Commercial Progression.

Alfred Ngaro led the charge against critics of the Government's performance on housing. Photo: Getty Images
MAY 14, 2017 Updated January 23, 2018
Tim Murphy is co-editor of Newsroom. He writes about politics, Auckland, and media. Twitter: @tmurphynz
People in glass houses shouldn't speak out of turn
Since this story appeared on Newsroom, Alfred Ngaro has apologised to the Prime Minister, Deputy PM and National's campaign chair Steven Joyce, The Salvation Army, and issued a statement calling his comments 'a bit naive, poorly worded and I absolutely regret what I said.' There was no word of an apology to Willie Jackson.
Don't expect any apologies or contrition from the National Party on housing - a new, muscularly aggressive defence of its most vulnerable policy area has emerged at its Auckland conference.
The associate housing minister Alfred Ngaro led the charge in a presentation laced with political menace against those who question National's performance on housing.
He even suggested Labour list candidate Willie Jackson could expect to lose Government support for his Manukau Urban Māori Authority interest in a second charter school, and its Whānau Ora contract should he "bag us" on the campaign trail.
"We are not happy about people taking with one hand and throwing with the other," Ngaro said.
"Do not play politics with us. If you get up on the campaign trail and start bagging us, then all the things you are doing are off the table. They will not happen."
The MP's extraordinary blurring of party politics and government policy implementation came after he claimed to have told Jackson of the risks directly. "I even went to see Willie Jackson at Waatea Marae.
"He has put another application for another Kura that is a Charter School. Their MUMA has taken a contract with Whānau Ora."
But Jackson told Newsroom from the Labour Party Congress in Wellington the claim was hard to understand.. He had not met Ngaro but sent his deputy, who had reported back "something along those lines, but not as direct as what you are saying".
"I don't know what he is on about there. I talk to any party, National or Labour. I would not be doing my job as a community official if I didn't"
Jackson said he would "bash National whether I was in Labour or not. I have told them all for years I have never voted National. Just because I talk to them does not mean I am going to agree with their policy".
Ngaro didn't limit his attacks to Jackson, however.
He also attempted to paint the Salvation Army as divided over its criticisms of government housing policy.
He had been told by the Prime Minister Bill English "at a priority session" that English had met the Army's policy leader Alan Johnson at an airport. Johnson had reportedly told the PM he was part of a media campaign against the government's homelessness measures.
Ngaro said: "The Prime Minister said 'I need you to get close to him. I need you to love him'." The associate minister had joked back: 'I think that's a bridge too far.'
But Ngaro met Johnson ("not alone") on Friday.
He told the conference there were issues within the Salvation Army. "With the Sallies, you have the Church, the social programmes and the policy part. The policy part is running riot and sayings all sorts of things and there's some tension in the Church because they are not sure about that."
He has since apologised.
Ngaro also targeted media coverage of housing. "We have to push back against some of the media," he said, detailing an exchange he says he had with RNZ's Checkpoint presenter John Campbell, challenging him over questioning, or the lack of it, over a person housed in a motel.
"I told him: 'You are not in pursuit of the truth. You want to manufacture a crisis. You cannot ask people to help themselves unless you are willing to journey with them and ask them the right questions'.
"You would never see that in print, because he did not print it. He did not record it."
Criticising regional newspapers for 'constantly wanting to tell these stories about this government who do not care", Ngaro said " I have said to our team: 'We are going to fill the boots of all the media and everyone else that's out there, all the doubters.
"We are going to be telling them about the $350m [the Government is spending on emergency housing] and take them through the process.
"When they are interviewing people who have not got a Housing NZ home, this is the question they should ask: How many homes have been made available to you? Did you decline? Why? We are going to push those questions."
An Auckland Councillor, Linda Cooper, backed the call to challenge the media and opponents. "We have got to squash that tired old, lazy notion of the media and Labour Party that we don't care."
She, and Ngaro, emphasised National needed to start talking about security of tenure for renters, as well as its historic emphasis on people being able to own their own homes.
Cooper said: "The reality is, there will be people who will not be owning houses. How do we incentivise private landlords to keep these good tenants, keep these people in the same community.?"
The Building and Construction Minister Nick Smith, the previous face of the government's housing portfolios, was also at the conference. However he was only called on from the floor by Ngaro to help answer a delegate's question on whether National was 'a bit policy uncoordinated' on housing , migration and foreign capital.
Smith rejected any suggestion Auckland had an unusually high level of housing 'non-occupancy' due to foreign investors buying but not living here.
And he was having none of the government having failed to anticipate migration flows when it came to housing. "The real question about the housing debate is that people can move faster than you can build houses.
"There was no change of policy but when you have a diaspora suddenly making different choices whether they left or came back....We have to be realistic about the time it takes to have a house built - it is a bit longer than to say, 'Actually, Australia is a basket case, I would like to be back in New Zealand'."
Ngaro claimed the controversy last year over people having to live "in cars and park benches" was prompted by "an opposition that chooses to use their constituents for political fodder."
Citing the Te Puea Marae in South Auckland, which helped temporarily house and feed people with nowhere to live, he said it was important not to rely solely on media reports. "Go out the back to the kitchens and ask the kuia who were watching the families. They'll say: 'There were two-thirds who were genuine and we wanted to hug them and help them. And one-third who were just ratbags and we told them to get off their backsides and do something for their families'."
He exhorted party members to be National's champions on the ground. He asked them to repeat back to him a series of big numbers the government was spending on housing.
National invested $2.3 billion a year to support housing for 310,000 families, $300m annually on maintenance of state houses, had helped re-locate 313 families out of Auckland (with just three returning) - saving $6m.
There was no acceptance of housing as a policy weakness, let alone a crisis. But a rather big raw nerve, all the same, 133 days out from the election.


Building a great career happens one step at a time. Get on the right path with our 10 tips.
Jumping into the job market should never be done blindly. A thoughtful, intelligent approach will be your best asset as you join the professional world. These are ten ways to grab the reins of your future career. When it's time, you'll be ready to saddle up for the job of your dreams.
As early as high school, you can put yourself on the path to a great career. Start by taking Advanced Placement or other classes for college credit. Some colleges even offer classes for credit before you even apply. This will have the added benefit of saving tuition money down the line and can be a nice entry point for the rigor of college work without all the other aspects of campus life.
For students with a keen eye on their future job prospects, a double major can truly maximize post-graduation possibilities. Be sure to read up on your school's relevant policies regarding double majors, as the application process can be a little more complicated than the usual. If you can handle the load, employers are sure to be wowed by your exemplary work ethic.
The college you land at likely has a career center or similar advisory office that can link you up with local employers and provide well-worn advice. Counselors are there to help with crucial career decisions and can make crucial suggestions that few others are equipped to give. There are a few places where you'll have as many resources at hand as your school campus – make use of them before it's too late!
Even once your degree is complete, you can boost your professional credentials without even leaving campus. Certificate programs can demonstrate a working knowledge of vital professional skills. Some can even reward you with professional certification in your field of choice, meaning you can head straight from graduation to the workforce. How's that for maximizing?
Even if you're not done with school, there are myriad ways to get your foot in the door at your dream job. Networking events for students, growing relationships with professors and maintaining a robust professional online presence and just three easy ways to prepare for your entry into the industry. There are also cold emails – which may be one of the best ways to demonstrate your proactivity and ambitions to potential employers.
Having a professional network is indispensable, but don't forget the network you were building without even thinking about it. People who have little to do with your career pursuits can still be a helpful source of information and influence when it comes to the job hunt. There's nothing wrong with asking a friend or family member for some help when it's needed.
Just studying and attending class is a great start, but truly maximizing your opportunities will take many forms. A great co-op or internship, while not mandatory, is one of the best ways to position yourself for the right job once graduation comes. You'll grow a nascent professional network while gaining pivotal early experience in your field. Some can be highly competitive - so apply early!
Recent graduates are usually champing at the bit for their first real career-path job, and why shouldn't they? It's time to make your debut in the professional world but rushing into the first halfway decent opening that will have you isn't always the best way to start. Evaluate your options fully the way you would any other decision – is it the right fit for you? Do you see yourself here in five or ten years? When that time does come, you'll be glad you thought ahead.
Now, once you've landed that great job, it's time to truly show what you're made of. Ambition is great to have but treating this work as a stepping stone to something bigger would be a major slipup. You're in this job to demonstrate what you can do, not what you should be doing next. Give your best efforts to every task is the best way to position yourself for future growth.
Degree in hand and on the job, it might be tempting to believe you've set foot in the classroom for the last time. While coasting is certainly one option, continued education can keep your skillset fresh or even open you up to brand new possibilities. It doesn't have to all be directed towards your career choice. Take this chance to pursue something you've always been curious about, but never got the chance to study in school. You might end up with a whole new dream to pursue!
Maximizing your career begins with a great education. Lay your professional foundation at Cincinnati State. Apply now to begin next semester.

53-й Вирджинский добровольческий пехотный полк (53rd Virginia Volunteer Infantry Regiment) был пехотным полком, набранным в штате Виргиния для службы в армии Конфедерации во время Гражданской войны в США. Он сражался в составе Северовирджинской армии и участвовал в «атаке Пикетта» под Геттисбергом.

53-й Вирджинский был сформирован в декабре 1861 года в результате объединения батальонов Томлина и Монтагю и пехотной роты Уаддилла. Рядовые полка были набраны в вирджинских округах Галифакс, Нью-Кент, Чарльз-Сити и Питтсильвания. Полк в разное время входил в состав бригад Армистеда, Бартона и Стюарта.

Полк прошёл сражения Семидневной битвы, где числился в дивизии Хьюджера, в бригаде Армистеда, и потерял 31 человека в сражении при Малверн-Хилл.

После Семидневной битвы дивизию возглавил Ричард Андерсон и она участвовала в Мерилендской кампании, где полком командовал капитан Уильям Поллард, который погиб в сражении при Энтитеме.

São Mateus é uma freguesia portuguesa do município da Madalena, com 17,74 km² de área e 772 habitantes (2011), tem uma densidade populacional de 43,5 hab/km² e dista da sede de concelho: 15.00 km.

Descrição
A freguesia de São Mateus é a mais antiga freguesia do concelho da Madalena do Pico, tendo a data de chegadas dos primeiros povoadores ocorrido em 1482. A sua posição geográfica, na costa Sul da ilha, leva-a a confinar a oeste com a freguesia da Candelária e a leste com a de São Caetano.

A sua igreja paroquial, dedicada à evocação de São Mateus, foi consagrada ao mesmo santo padroeiro, tendo a sua construção sido iniciada apenas em 1838. Acredita-se que no primitivo templo que houve nesta freguesia de São Mateus deva ter sido coevo da fundação da respectiva paróquia, embora se ignore a data da sua construção, existem documentos que a referem como existente já em 1542.

Esta Igreja de São Mateus apresenta-se como uma das mais ricas e majestosas da ilha do Pico.

Trata-se de uma das mais imponentes igrejas de toda a ilha do Pico. Apresenta uma nave central com grande envergadura e rodeada por colunas. O templo encontra-se dividido por três naves, com  duas séries de seis arcos.

Este templo corria o dia 1 de julho de 1962 foi elevado à categoria de Santuário Diocesano por decreto do então 36.º Bispo de Angra, Dom Manuel Afonso de Carvalho.

Apresenta-se com 33 metros de comprimento, possui três naves sustentadas por pesadas pilastras. Apresenta a curiosidade de um quadro a óleo representando um apóstolo, sobre cada uma das pilastras. No tecto da capela-mor encontra-se pintada a fresco uma pormenorizada cena do Ecce Homo.

Dentre as várias capelas laterais, destaca-se a do Senhor Bom Jesus, embora possa datar de um pouco mais tarde. A imagem do "Ecce Homo" que aí se encontra apresenta valor artístico. Foi oferecida em 1862 por um filho da freguesia, Francisco Ferreira Goulart,  quando do seu regresso da vila de Iguape, na então província de São Paulo, no Brasil, onde é cultuada uma imagem idêntica.

Esta freguesia é atravessada por vários cursos de água, a saber; a Ribeira das Grotas, a Ribeira da Calheta e a Ribeira dos Bodes, o seu território que aproximadamente 17,74 quilómetros quadrados apresenta um povoamento disperso, mas ordenados ao longo das principais vias do comunicação, que levou à criação de pequenos núcleos populacionais, destacando-se entre eles os sítios e lugares de Areeiro, Bagaço, Cabeços, Caminho de Baixo, Grotas, Ginjeira, Mata, Pontinha, Porto Novo e Relvas.

De terras muito férteis e com diferentes microclimas apresenta quatro principais zonas de cultivo e de actividades agrícolas: os Biscoitos, e o Bagaço, locais junto do mar, onde a população se dedica principalmente à produção de artigos relacionados com vitivinicultura e com a produção de fruta, surgindo assim apreciáveis areias de vinhas a de pomares.

As pastagens surgem em altitude, nas encostas da Montanha do Pico e procede-se à criação de Gado, principalmente bovino.

Dada a sua proximidade com o mar esta freguesia apresenta também uma apreciável actividade piscatória, o que traz algum movimento ao Porto de São Mateus. Além destas actividades surgem outras relacionadas actividades comerciais que contribuem também para o seu desenvolvimento económico.

Esta freguesia muito relacionada com actividade da caça à baleia, apresenta ainda resquícios da actividade como o caso das antigas vigias de baleia e a casa dos botes junto ao porto de São Mateus.

Nesta freguesia, no dia 6 de Agosto de cada ano venera-se o Senhor Bom Jesus.

To protect plants, wildlife and people, Metro does not allow dogs or other pets at most regional parks and natural areas.
Visitors to Metro destinations can see deer and other native wildlife and plants.
Dogs are welcome on-leash at Broughton Beach, Chinook Landing Marine Park, M. James Gleason Memorial Boat Ramp, Sauvie Island Boat Ramp, Farmington Paddle Launch and select locations with designated regional trails. For example, at Graham Oaks Nature Park in Wilsonville, dogs are permitted on-leash on the Ice Age Tonquin Trail because it is a regional trail. Please bring any necessary cleanup materials.
Seeing-eye dogs or other service animals are permitted at all destinations.
Please leave pets at home when visiting other sites where pets are not allowed. Visitors have a unique opportunity to experience native plants and animals in a natural environment at Metro parks and natural areas, from Smith and Bybee Wetlands to Canemah Bluff. Dogs and other pets can damage sensitive habitat and threaten wildlife the region has worked to protect.
Birds and other animals think of dogs – even the friendliest ones – as predators. Animals have a keen sense of sight, smell and hearing; the presence of a dog, even on a leash, will disrupt their normal behaviors. We also know that in natural areas where dogs are not allowed, people see more wildlife and can get closer to it. To ensure the policy is consistent with the best available research, our science team recently reviewed 54 peer-reviewed scientific journal articles, as well as 23 professional reports. The research is consistent and compelling.
The pets policy also applies to heavily used destinations such as Blue Lake Regional Park, where several thousand people are picnicking, walking, biking, swimming and playing games on a busy summer day. Introducing pets to a crowded environment can pose safety risks for both people and animals.
People have many options throughout the region when they want to spend time outdoors with their pets, but very few places they can depend on to protect sensitive habitat and provide a unique experience in nature. Among the 100 largest cities in America, Portland already leads the country with the most off-leash dog parks per capita, with 5.4 such parks per 100,000 residents, according to the 2015 City Park Facts report from The Trust for Public Land.
Although Metro doesn't allow pets at most of our sites, we believe it's important to invest in parks, trails and natural areas where dogs are allowed, on leash or off. Metro has supported a number of dog-friendly destinations throughout the region with money from the natural areas bond measures that voters approved in 1995 and 2006.
These bond measures designated money – $44 million in the 2006 bond and $25 million in the 1995 bond – to local cities, counties and parks providers to acquire land or make improvements. Voter investments have supported dog-friendly destinations such as Forest Park in Portland, Cook Park in Tigard, Hood View Park in Happy Valley and dozens of other sites.

Fancy An Invigorating Fall Hike? Long Island's Got Trails To Spare
September 14, 2016 By Christopher Boyle
Local author Lee McAllister talks about the best areas to hike in his best-selling book
(Long Island, NY) When someone speaks to an outsider about Long Island, the first things that normally pop into their mind when envisioning our fair isle are shopping malls, restaurants, and beaches; what rarely follows those iconic sights, however, are the plethora of rugged, wooden hiking options available as well for the more outdoorsy types out there, but make no mistake…Long Island has many of them, just itching to be explored according to Lee McAllister, Ridge resident and avid hiker.
"It's not all suburbs, despite what everyone thinks…there's a lot of open space on Long Island," he said. "There's a philosophy of hiking – it's good for your head – and that's what makes Long Island interesting, its history and how it was formed, and its impact upon the land."
McAllister has penned several regional books on the subject detailing the best trails around, including Hiking the Catskills and his most recent release, Hiking Long Island, which he said was driven by his childhood in Plainview at a time when the area was significantly less developed then it is today, noting that, as a child in the 1960's, he would walk home from elementary school every day, noting remnants of farmhouses along the way; as the years, things changed considerably as more businesses, industries, and residents moved in.

Graduating from Plainview High School back in 1974, upstate hiking became a major pastime of his during his college years, McAllister noted. However, his favorite hiking location has always been the winding and twisting trails that are unique to Long Island alone; the quality of the local cuisine doesn't hurt either, he said.
"Sure, there are great trails upstate, but there are also great trails on Long Island as well," he said. "But the restaurants on Long Island are better, and that's important…I tend to work up a big appetite from hiking all day."
Published in 2002, Hiking Long Island is currently in its third edition; within its pages, McAllister covers – through both text and self-taken photography – numerous locales throughout Nassau and Suffolk Counties where residents can commune with nature while working up a sweat at the same time, including the Greenbelt Trail, Wellwood Preserve in Glen Cove, Muttentown Preserve in Old Brookville, Montauk Point, Orient Point, Shelter Island, and much more.
Hiking isn't just good for your body, McAllister notes, but it can do wonders for your mental outlook as well, which is something that anyone working in today's hectic business environment can certainly use in spades.
"I happened to become a naturalist, a photographer, and a bird watcher out of this, plus it keeps me in shape," he said. "All of this enhances your hiking so much. You can just walk for exercise, sure, but if you know what's out there and take the time to appreciate it, it can enhance not only your hiking, but your life as well."
Hiking Long Island doesn't just detail where trails are and how to get to them; instead, McAllister attempts to paint a mental picture if what it's actually like to be on the trails themselves, written in an easy-going style that is both easy to follow and understand, even for a layman, making for a book that is informative and easy to digest as well.
"It's really easy to write a book that's boring…'Oh, I'm going from Point A to Point B.' But I actually talk about what it's like to actually be on the trails," he said. "What can you expect to see? What makes it interesting? And some of the unexpected things that can happen out there that can cause concern at the time, but that you can laugh about later on. Sometimes unexpected things happen, and I try to put all of those experiences in my book."
If you're interested in picking up a copy of Lee McAllister's Hiking Long Island, it is available on Amazon.com and local area booksellers.
