Pat your meat dry with a paper towel. Season it liberally with salt and pepper.
Heat a large pan with a layer of canola oil to medium high heat. Searing meat is a messy, splatter-y, smoky process. So, turn on your fan and cover up your fancy clothes before you get started. Once the pan is nice and hot, add the meat to the pan. You should hear a serious sizzling sound. Let each side of the meat brown, (about 5 minutes or so per side, depending on the size of the roast) forming a brownish black crust on all sides. You can use tongs to hold the roast up on its sides to brown those as well. The black stuff = good stuff. Don't worry, it will not taste burned!
Meanwhile, load up the bottom of your slow cooker. Lay carrots across the middle of the pot. Scatter the peppers, celery, herbs and garlic over the carrots. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
When the meat is seared well all over, remove it from the pan and lay it on top of the veggies in your crock-pot.
Carefully remove all but about 1 T of oil from your pan. You can pour it out into a safe container or use some paper towels to do this- but be cautious, it's hot! Turn the heat on your burner down to medium and add the onions. Use tongs to toss the onions about, scraping up the brown bits as you go. Then, add the chicken broth and tomato paste and stir well to coat the onions. Add a good pinch of sugar, salt and pepper. Let the liquid reduce in the pan for a few minutes, stirring as the mixture thickens. Then, pour the onions in red sauce over the top of the meat. You can let some onions fall over the sides of the roast too. Close your slow cooker and set it to low.
Cook for about 8 hours on low heat. The meat should be super tender when you finally open the pot.
Remove the meat to a bowl using tongs. It will just be falling apart.
Taste it and add more salt and pepper if necessary, tossing it to season all of the meat. You want to remove the celery and carrots so you can cut them into bite-sized pieces. Then, grab a serving dish. Use a slotted spoon to move all of the peppers and onions and herby goodness over to the serving dish. Scoop the carrots and celery on top.
Nestle your meat on top of that pile of yum. If you like, you can spoon some of the remaining liquid all over the roast- or if you're feeling sassy, turn it into a gravy!
**Oh, and if you decide to put bay leaves in the pot, be sure to take them out before feeding folks!!!
Serve your meat and veggies hot over roasted baby potatoes or grits.
Your leftovers will be even better the next day! Put an egg on it for breakfast!!!!!!!! Yeah!
Sounds like a perfect cold weather and "man pleaser" kind of dish!
It is definitely a great dish to warm the bones on a cold day! Making the roast on a Saturday or Sunday gives you satisfying meals all week long!

Q: 404 error with XMLHttpRequest on document that exists Im using XMLHttpRequest to save something into a database when the user clicks a button. This seems to work when working on localhost, but after I launched the site only a 404-error occurs.
Firefox console says:
POST http://mydomain.com/wp-content/themes/minmeme/save.php [HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found 999ms]

But when I copy that URL and open it manually, the file clearly exists.
Javascript code is saved in script.js and placed in the same folder as save.php:
var ajax = new XMLHttpRequest();
ajax.open("POST",'/wp-content/themes/minmeme/save.php',false);
ajax.setRequestHeader('Content-Type', 'application/upload');
ajax.send(imgurl);

A: It was the WordPress permalink structure that screwed this up. By using custom permalinks (%postname%) I could not access any .php-file outside of Wordpress directly.
Setting permalinks to standard, now the server finds the file. Error now changed to 403.1 though...

Up to 200 positions will be available to support record levels of production, the introduction of electric vehicle technology and the development of two new models for the Sunderland Plant - the Nissan LEAF and next generation Nissan QASHQAI.
A new recruitment campaign and supporting website has been launched by Nissan, who are looking for engineers and maintenance technicians to join its Sunderland Plant.
Kevin Fitzpatrick, Nissan Vice President for Manufacturing in the UK, said: "Nissan is actively recruiting for new engineers and maintenance technicians to join our highly skilled workforce at our Sunderland Plant.
"These new recruits will play a key role not only in maintaining our record production levels, but in making sure that our Battery Plant and future new models are introduced successfully."
As one of the founding UK companies in the UK's new Talent Retention Solution (TRS), Nissan will be looking to match a number of its forthcoming job opportunities with skilled engineers facing redundancy from the defence sector.
Current positions advertised by Nissan include Production Engineers, Facility Engineers, QA Engineers, Press Die Maintenance Technicians, Battery Tooling Technicians and Facilities Maintenance Technicians.
Nissan's new career website also features current engineers who give an insight into working at the Nissan Sunderland Plant.
They include Rachel Williams, 25, a Parts Quality Assurance Engineer, who has worked at Nissan Sunderland Plant since 2007. She commented: "The thing that first attracted me to Nissan was that the company was willing to help new engineers to progress and develop.
"Currently I'm responsible for approximately 60 suppliers, looking at their processes and products, auditing them, improving the quality assurance of their parts and reacting to concerns we get on the production line.
"It's a happy place to work. I enjoy coming to work every day, which I'm not sure a lot of people can say. You have a different job to do every day."
Josh Blythe, 26, a Press Shop Engineer, joined Nissan following his Masters degree and is now helping to plan for the start of Nissan LEAF production in 2013. He added: "I would describe Nissan as fast-paced, cross-functional, and very exciting.
"I'm part of the team working on the Nissan LEAF. At the moment I'm looking at a number of different production plans and capacity plans to figure out how the press shop will produce the parts for the LEAF.
"Since joining Nissan I feel as though I've developed a lot and in parallel have been working towards, and recently achieved, recognition as a professional chartered engineer."
Carly de Silva, 32, who has been with Nissan for seven years, is a Process Engineer for the new Battery Plant.
Explaining her current challenges, she said: "I have a coordination role at the new Battery Plant, and as we're at the installation stage it's the busiest time for us right now. The batteries are built in a clean room, and we've never done this before at Nissan so it's a big learning curve.
"I've been responsible for setting up the clean room procedures and protocol, monitoring those and trying to get it right before we go into trial production. Once we go into the trials, that's when we've got to produce the quality parts, so it's imperative we get it right at this stage."

President George W. Bush's nomination of a new Supreme Court justice may give White House adviser Karl Rove a temporary reprieve from public scrutiny of his role in the disclosure of an intelligence operative's identity.
Bush accelerated his search for a Supreme Court nominee in part because of special prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald's investigation into the leak of a CIA agent's name, according to Republicans familiar with administration strategy.
Bush originally had planned to announce a replacement for retiring Justice Sandra Day O'Connor on July 26 or 27, just before his planned July 28 departure for a month-long vacation at his Crawford, Texas, ranch, said two administration officials, who spoke on the condition they not be named.
The officials said those plans changed because Rove has become a focus of Fitzgerald's interest and of news accounts about the matter.
Because it is hard work avoiding any conversation with Karl Rove that might lead to actual knowledge about his skullduggery.

Thousands of people lined up at the South Street Seaport and along the Brooklyn and Hudson River piers yesterday to board the tall ships whose graceful masts and spars presided over the waterfront during Liberty Weekend.
Others stood in line to go aboard the smaller square-riggers and the gray-hulled Navy ships that were also opened to the public.
The viewing, on most ships, was relatively informal. And on the tall ships, it drew repeated gasps from people as they stood on deck and stared up into the rigging - through the shrouds and ratlines and yards to the top of the masts that seemed to pierce the sky.
One square-rigger that is particularly dear to many Americans is the full-rigged ship, Danmark, berthed at Pier 15 at the South Street Seaport. The Danish ship, which trains sailors for the merchant marine, was caught in Jacksonville, Fla., when World War II broke out in Europe and remained to become a training ship for American crewmen during the war.
Next to the Danmark on Pier 15 was the Norwegian full-rigged ship Sorlandet. The ship was sunk by a stray bomb during World War II and then pulled from the water and later restored.
People of varying ages pay to train aboard this handsome white ship. According to Jim Cottier, a New Zealander who is the first mate, one of the hands aboard is a 72-year-old man who climbs the rigging to the top.
Many crew members expressed their joy at being part of Operation Sail and the Statue of Liberty centennial.
Roberto Caramanno, a 21-year-old cadet on the Amerigo Vespucci, also berthed at Pier 2, said he was impressed by the entire OpSail operation.
''It was a very big American-style show,'' Mr. Caramanno said.
Peggy and Erhard Mueller of Merrick, L.I., came aboard the Vespucci with a neighbor who had served in the Italian Navy.
A number of the ships will be open to the public today, mainly from noon to 4 P.M., except for the Danmark, which will be open from 10 A.M. to noon. For further information about the sailing ships, call Operation Sail at 393-1310.

City Safari Blue
Rotterdam, South Holland, Netherlands | SELF
Band World EDM
Share City Safari Blue's EPK!
05-20-2011: EP "CSB"
City |'site| (a large town where different people work and live)
Safari |s?'färe| (expedition to observe the unknown)
Blue |bloo| (skies, sea, clarity)
These elements combined represent what the band is all about.
Live music to make you dance, experience the newness and simply enjoy!!!
The debut-album of City Safari Blue, simply called "CSB" (release: spring 2011) reflects a two year process during which the band developed their authentic groove.
They seamlessly blend different styles of house-, world- and jazz-music, into stories of life (Felicidade), love and emigration (Zunga).
These songs not only tell us about the hardships, but also about all the good things that life has to offer. Making people dance, laugh and party. Sung in their different mother tongues of English, Brasilian-Portuguese and Capeverdian.
It all began in Barcelona. The city of Dali, Picasso and Gaudi inspired founder Camilo to write the first sketches of the album. He then returned to Rotterdam/ the Netherlands to form City Safari Blue. Most of the members had played together before, backing different artists.
They discovered that they had a very similar taste of music and that they all wanted to take it beyond the level of just playing. They started composing music together and were surprised by the vibe they could create, mixing dance/disco rhythms with jazzy chords and afro-beat, broken beats with soulful vamps...
The key members consist of Camilo Silva (singer/percussion), Sowande Boksteen (keys), Roland Sie (bass), Marvin Oron (guitar) and Carlos Fortes (drums).
In 2010 the band performed on all different kind of festivals like Dunya Festival (as the winner of "Dunya on Tour"), Gideon Festival and Wantij Festival (clubnights). They also played in smaller venues and clubs like "de Unie" (North Sea Jazz Roundtown) and "Westelijk Handelsterrein" (Queensnight).
Be on the lookout for the new album and remixes!


Sumba is located in the east portion of Lesser Sunda Islands which forms East Nusa Tenggara province along with Flores and Sumbawa. The size of Sumba is twice the size of Bali island but the population is considerably small. At the 2010 census, there are only 656, 259 people inhabiting the island who mostly claim to be Protestants. They, however, still pay homage to their indigenous Merapu belief meaning they also believe in spiritual forces.
The island is undoubtedly the best kept secret within Nusa Tenggara province. As the land of Merapu belief, thrilling traditional rituals can be easily encountered throughout Sumba. Wedding ceremony and funeral ceremony are all unique, but the most distinctive one is Pasola. The ritual which aims at fertilizing the upcoming crop seems seriously violent. During the ritual, two groups of people from mountain and the coast are engaged in spear war while riding horses. They won't stop except there is blood on the arena.
Behind its dry land and scorching weather, Sumba surprisingly boasts countless hidden natural beauties. Exploring this island, you will be fascinated by untouched white sandy beaches and savanna with cattle (especially buffaloes and Sandalwood horses) grazing freely. Visit the countryside and you'll find megalithic traditional villages everywhere.
On your first day in east Sumba, you better visit Praiyawang village to discover Indonesia's most ancient megalithic artifact. As you drive closer to the village, you can already see from afar a group of traditional houses with high-thatched roofs. Wander around the village and discover numerous unique giant megalithic tombs weighing more than 10 tons built in the front yard of every house. If you are lucky, you can watch and even take part in traditional dances being carried out prior to customary rites.
Adventurous travelers are suggested to come to Laiwangi Wanggameti National Park in the southern part of east Sumba. Home to many exotic endemic birds including Julang Sumba (Sumba hornbill), Sumba Bookbook Owl and Red-naped Fruit-dove this park offers you a rare bird-watching experience. Having tired of trekking across the park, taking a dip in waterfalls within the area will be so refreshing.
Exploring beaches along the coast of East Sumba is an important agenda during your overland trip in this region. Those looking for comfortable beach to practice surfing, Kalala beach in Melolo district must be your first stop. The beach is very quiet and features not-so-high waves. Thus, you can freely and safely practice your surfing skill there. Watching local people catch fish around the beach is very interesting as they still use spears to do so instead of net or fishing sticks.
Further to the northwest, you'll find Puru Kambera beach. The tranquility offered by these two beaches will make you feel like relaxing on private beaches. You can wrap up your beach exploration in east Sumba in Walakiri beach which is beautifully lined by a group of coconut trees. We suggest you to stay on Walakiri till afternoon as this beach boasts stunning sunset.
We suggest you to visit west Sumba on February or March if you dream of watching Pasola which is regularly held in Walakaka district. You better arrive in Sumba ten days before the ceremony is held in hope of watching the preceding ritual called Nyale or iridescent seaworm catching festival.
While waiting for the day of Pasola, you better take several days to explore West Sumba's popular traditional villages. Start your trip in Ratenggaro village where you'll find traditional houses with uncommon 15-meter high thatched-roof. The village looks more mystical as it is surrounded by hundreds of giant megalithic tombs.
Continue your tour to Tanjung village to discover distinctive megalithic burials decorated with corpses of sacred animals like buffalo horns and hog tusks. Matakaheri village may feature the most majestic megalithic site in Sumba as the place is home to 70 ton-stone grave of Anakalang King which needed three year-long process of making.
After days of tiring adventure, treat yourselves to magnificent panorama in one of ten best beaches in Asia, Nihiwatu beach. This 2.5 meter-long white sandy beach will be undoubtedly new chief destination for surfing lovers worldwide as the wave on this beach is one of fastest waves in the world.
Several other beaches are no less beautiful than Nihiwatu. Mandorok beach, for instance, offers you different panorama. Surrounded by steep rock, the beach will fascinate you with exotic view of cliff being washed by thunderous waves. Mamboro and Pero are other not-to-miss beaches in west Sumba. Mamboro will make you in awe due to its scenic view with vast savannah on the backdrop. On Pero beach, meanwhile, you will find many fishing boats moored on the turquoise beach.
West Sumba also owns a wonderful lake named Weekuri. The lake is actually a lagoon located in north Kodi district. Take a time to swim in this shallow lake and feel yourselves the freshness of its clear green water.
The above article covers only the highlights of Sumba tour. Find out more about Sumba tourism on xplorea.com and book your trip today.
Pasola is a thrilling spear war tradition to welcome the new planting season. It requires blood sacrifice that is believe to be able to fertilize the soil.
Nihiwatu is already well-known among tourists especially from Europe. Boasting extensive clean shoreline and one of fastest wave in Asia, this beach evokes an imagination of paradise.
Weekuri is like a lagoon that the water comes from the sea. This lake is just like a pool with a bigger space and clearer water.


He aggressively cusses and spits his words out, straddles new school and old school hip hop, and ain't afraid to tell the world he's broke. He's an all round badman on the US rap circuit. And a convert to Islam. It's pronounced 'Preece', by the way.


People in prisons across the country have described harrowing experiences that sound like nothing less than torture.
Sign this petition, and join The Nation and the War Resisters League (WRL) in demanding that Sally Q. Yates, deputy attorney general of the Department of Justice, take action against human-rights abuses on prisoners involving tear-gas weapons nationwide. Across the United States, the use of chemical weapons—most of them banned in war under the Geneva Protocol—against those confined in jails and prisons has become disturbingly common, and is a yet another example of how militarization is deepening violence on all levels of society. Given the DOJ's recent recommendations to constrain solitary confinement, this issue should command their attention as well.
We urge you to immediately order investigations, make recommendations concerning, and take action against human rights abuses on prisoners involving tear gas/chemical weapons on both state and federal levels.
In 2013, the War Resisters League put out a call in Critical Resistance's The Abolitionist—a newspaper that reaches thousands of people in prisons and jails—for stories of having had tear gas or pepper spray used against them. Soon they received over a hundred responses and got permission to republish excerpts—some with explicit permission to use name and location for the sake of challenging tear gas abuse in prisons.
The harrowing experiences they described sound like nothing less than torture.
–A man imprisoned in Mount Olive Correctional Complex, West Virginia, 2014.
–A woman imprisoned by the Colorado Department of Corrections, 2014.
Reports from prisoner-support and justice groups as well as legal projects all over the US have documented the regular spraying of prisoners with pepper spray, often accompanied by other routine torture practices, such as keeping them bound in a restraint chair covered in copious amounts of pepper spray for long periods of time. In some cases, prison wardens have the authority to directly investigate these abuses and terminate the use of pepper spray against prisoners, but they rarely do. WRL has found documented cases of pepper spray being used against people across the country, from Louisiana State Penitentiary to Mount Olive Correctional Complex in West Virginia to prisons in Pennsylvania, Washington, Illinois, Florida, Virginia, Texas, California, Maryland, Arizona, Georgia, Ohio, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Michigan, Montana, Missouri, Colorado, and the Virgin Islands.
Companies which produce chemical weapons designed specifically for "enclosed spaces" include Combined Systems, Sabre, and Safariland. They use names like "Cell Buster" in their marketing.
Our aim is to break silence on this issue, towards ending chemical weapons use and torture on the inside and everywhere. Join The Nation and the War Resisters League and sign the DOJ petition now!

Q: Find and Replace string in a .txt file with VBscript I am trying to figure out how to use vbscript to:
1 - open a .csv file as a .txt file
2 - search for a certain string of text that is located randomly throughout the text
3 - replace that string with a different string.
I have found an article that helped me learn how to replace an entire line in a .txt document, but so far have had no luck finding anything about replacing just certain characters within the line.
Thanks!
Here is the code I am using currently:
Const ForReading = 1
Const ForWriting = 2

'Setting up our objects and focusing on the text file.
Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set objFile = objFSO.OpenTextFile("C:\Users\Documents\Script Practice\TextFiles-2-4-15-Folder\ReadandWrite\Textlook.txt", ForReading)

Do Until objFile.AtEndOfStream

    strLine = objFile.ReadLine

    If strLine = "Myer" Then
        strLine = "Mike"
    End If

    strContents = strContents & strLine & vbCrLf

Loop

objFile.Close

Set objFile = objFSO.OpenTextFile("C:\Users\Documents\Script Practice\TextFiles-2-4-15-Folder\ReadandWrite\Textlook.txt", ForWriting)

objFile.Write(strContents)
objFile.Close

The text file it references says:
Ken Myer
Fabrikam
Pilar Ackerman
Wingtip Toys
Jeff Hay
Fabrikam
Ellen Adams
Northwind Traders
Myer
(End of text file). So essentially, I have gotten the code to successfully change the "Myer" that is on its own line to "Mike". What I am having a hard time with is changing the "Myer" in the first line to "Mike". Hopefully this helps clarify things a bit...I'm extremely new at this so not sure of the language I should be using to describe the problem.

A: Use Replace on the file's content obtained by .ReadAll() and .Write the result back. In code:
Option Explicit

Dim goFS  : Set goFS  = Createobject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Dim goWAU : Set goWAU = WScript.Arguments.Unnamed

WScript.Quit main()

Function main()
  main = 1 ' assume error
  If 3 = goWAU.Count Then
     If goFS.FileExists(goWAU(0)) Then
        Dim s : s = goFS.OpenTextFile(goWAU(0)).ReadAll()
        If 0 < Instr(s, goWAU(1)) Then
           goFS.CreateTextFile(goWAU(0)).Write Replace(s, goWAU(1), goWAU(2))
           WScript.Echo "done"
           main = 0
        Else
           WScript.Echo goWAU(1), "not found"
        End If
     Else
        WScript.Echo goWAU(0), "does not exist"
     End If
  Else
     WScript.Echo "need 3 args: fspec, find, replacement"
  End If
End Function

output:
copy con 28350055.csv
1,2,3
4,5,6
^Z

cscript 28350055.vbs 28350055.csv 5 4711
done

type 28350055.csv
1,2,3
4,4711,6

cscript 28350055.vbs 28350055.csv 5 4711
5 not found

cscript 28350055.vbs 28350055.cs 5 4711
28350055.cs does not exist

Use that demo to determine what is needed to solve your real world problem.

A: I'm extremly new too, so i didnt get what the other answer do in the code, but i figured out in the last answer about "Replace" and use in your code for do what you need, and the result is this:
Const ForReading = 1
Const ForWriting = 2

'Setting up our objects and focusing on the text file.
Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set objFile = objFSO.OpenTextFile("C:\Users\Documents\Script Practice\TextFiles-2-4-15-Folder\ReadandWrite\Textlook.txt", ForReading)

Do Until objFile.AtEndOfStream

    strLine = objFile.ReadLine

    strLine = Replace(strLine,"Myer","Mike")

    ' If strLine = "Myer" Then
        ' strLine = "Mike"
    ' End If

    strContents = strContents & strLine & vbCrLf

Loop

objFile.Close

Set objFile = objFSO.OpenTextFile("F:\BIBLIOTECAS\Archivos\TEST.txt", ForWriting)

objFile.Write(strContents)
objFile.Close


I have the same problem re: Smith Barney 401(k) plan.
The costs of converting the company plan to a self directed plan is prohibitive to the highly compensated employees, unfortunately they are the people who make the decision re: the 401(k).
I am trying to get an index fund included in our investment choices. I figure this is the second best option next to a self directed plan.

Porzel's chance
DURHAM, N.C. —- Maryland tailback Caleb Porzel enters this afternoon's game at Duke seeking his first career touchdown.
He nearly had it a week ago on the slippery sod at Byrd Stadium.
"Aw, man. Just one trip away. …," Porzel said earlier this week. "I had tunnel vision with the safety. I knew what I was going to do. But the grass and the wetness kind of said 'Nope, not today.'"
Maybe that'll be different today at Wallace Wade Stadium, where Porzel will probably have his largest role to date.
Da'Rel Scott is out. So is Gary Douglas. And Davin Meggett's developed a fumbling habit this month.
So that leaves the electric Porzel, who nearly busted that long run last week.
"Just knowing that I could break out on a run like that in D-I college football as a freshman to me is a momentum booster going into the other games, even though we're halfway into the season," Porzel said. "Even though I'm short, I make up with it with my speed.
Enough so that he's heard the Darren Sproles comparisons for a little while. And the speed is fully back after suffering a quadriceps bruise in camp that ultimately shelved him for the first five games.
In some ways, though, that ailment helped Porzel grow accustomed to college life and the Terps' offense —- something that could come in quite handy in the final half of the season.
"When I was injured, I really took the time to focus on my academics and also on studying the playbook," Porzel said. "During camp, I was in the flow of things, and then I got injured and I kind of got set back. [I thought] 'Since I'm injured and I'm away from practice, this is my time to get back where I need to be.'"
In less than a half hour, that may well be in the backfield to start against Duke.


Nox found her father in his study, surrounded by ledgers and stacks of paper. Despite all that had happened over the past month, the mundane tasks of running one of the Great Houses still needed to be done, and Lucien was scrupulous about fulfilling his duties. He was so intent on his work that he did not even notice she was there. It seemed careless, in light of the recent attacks, but Nox knew just how many wards were built into the room. Anyone stupid enough to assault him was in for a world of hurt.
"Where did you find these?" Lucien asked. He leaned forward, curiosity giving more life to his expression than Nox had seen in years. But then, he was a scholar as well as the Lord of Ice. The Ice part simply came first most of the time.
Lucien laughed. Out loud. Nox had never seen that happen.
"That depends on how much damage you did to the mausoleum," he said.
The graveyard was always so still, Grimm thought. The hound hesitated by the gate, listening to the gentle creak of its hinges as Nox walked through. The more time he spent teaching her to summon Air, the more of his memories came back. None of the ones from this place were good.
"Yes, because they know I will beat them silly if they try anything," Grimm rumbled. He pushed past the gate and loomed over her, throwing glares around at the restive spirits. They had been getting uppity ever since they were released for the day during the firethorn attack. He followed a step behind Nox as she wound her way up the path to his old mausoleum, a low, almost subsonic growl keeping them at bay.
The hound crouched down and let her climb up onto his back. He stood up slowly, giving Nox time to balance. She stayed up there for a long time, saying a lot of "hmm's" and "interesting's." Which was incredibly annoying, but he held his peace until she motioned for him to let her down.
Memories washed over Grimm, and the sky went dark. A storm gathered on the horizon, thunder rolling so loud he could feel the ground shake through the soles of his feet. Lightning illuminated the man walking in front of him – he was tall and thin, his dark hair peppered with grey and he had a long face that was lined with weariness and strain.
"That was the night he died," Grimm said, his ears and tail drooping.
"Can you remember anything else?" she asked.
…and Grimm was back on the sunlit hillside, with Nox sitting dazed on the grass outside the mausoleum.
"If we're ever going to break your curse, I need to study this." She got up and stood in front of the door, exactly where Galen had been. She lifted her hand and summoned a tiny breath of pure Air. The markings around the door lit up one by one as the element flowed through them.
She must have sensed it too. Her hand slashed downward, trying to cut off the flow of energy but it had gained too much momentum. Grimm strained against the wards that kept him outside, felt them give, and he surged into the room.
It was like running through a river of electricity. The energy lashed out from the far wall and shot straight through him. There was an audible SNAP, and a wrenching feeling in his chest.
For a solid minute he knelt next to her, too stunned to move. His arms were wrapped protectively around her and his face barely an inch from her own.
Arella thanked the coachman as he helped her down from the carriage. It was getting more difficult to get around as her pregnancy progressed, and she was always grateful for a helping hand. She paused to study the exterior of her soon-to-be-sister-in-law's workshop. It was an unassuming two story building made of heavy brownstone, with another, similar building to the right and an alleyway on the left. There was nothing to tell anyone that the daughter of oldest and most powerful of the Winter Kings lived there. Which, she supposed, was the way Nox liked it.
She stepped up to the plain metal door and rung the bell. She knew so little about Nox. Arella's fiancée, Kel, had described her as iron encased in ice, but on the two brief occasions they met, Nox had seemed nice enough. Eccentric, but nice.
The door opened, and Arella was surprised again at how small Nox was. She was dressed in scorched overalls and a loose shirt that made her look even smaller. A smell of ozone wafted out past her, and she had smudges of soot on her face.
Nox waved her off. "No, I'll only ruin it. Serves me right for using a flammable pedestal to hold my prototype. But then, I hadn't planned on spontaneous combustion." She gave Arella a sheepish grin. "I'm sure you didn't come here to listen to me babble about my hobbies though. What can I do for you?" She perched herself on a wobbly stool, and reached back to fish out a clean towel from a cabinet to wipe her face.
Grimm padded upstairs to the loft of Nox's workshop, with the handle of a small wooden box in his teeth. He let out a whurf of canine laughter as he saw her – she was sitting on the edge of their squashy sofa, almost bouncing with excitement.
Nox gave him an amused look. "Testing my fine control, eh? You got it." She puffed out her cheeks and whistled up a bitterly cold wind.
The hound shook his head, his deep, rumbling mental voice filled with disapproval. "Outside of the obvious reasons not to do that, you won't always have a high place to work from. Not to mention it is sloppy energy work, and no student of mine will get away with that," he said, looking down his muzzle at her. "Watch and learn, little one." He let out a quiet whuff, and a soundwave blew across the table, flicking the latch open.
Tales from the House of Winds is the backstory for Grimm, and I'll be adding bits to it over the summer. It's set approximately 2000 years before the current story arc.
Thanks everyone for being patient while the series was on hiatus. After more than a year and a half of constant writing, I think I just need a break for a while. But Nox and Grimm are back, and I have all sorts of fun stories planned. I'm looking forward to sharing them with you!


Don't you just hate those confident people who perform with poise and grace?
Even under the greatest of pressure, there's nary a drop of perspiration on their forehead.
They are unshakable, they are bold, they are impressive.
But here's the thing that we don't often realise.
Underneath that facade, they are probably absolutely terrified.
Some may be better at covering it up.
Some may call it something else.
But they feel the same fear that you and I do.
LOL! When I looked at the title the first thing that popped in my mind was our upcoming election on Tuesday… 🙂 Great article!

An Introduction to Slots
Slots are a popular casino game. These games allow players to place bets and win money. They are also known as poker machines and fruit machines. The main goal of slot machines is to create a game of chance for customers. However, many people do not understand how these machines work and what they are. Here is a quick introduction to slots. Let's take a look at the different types of slot machines.
The most basic slots are called 3-reel. They feature three reels and horizontal lines. The symbols in these games are usually cascading, which can be very exciting. You can find 3-reel slot games like Book of Alchemy and Watford FC Slot in casinos. You can also find progressive jackpots that can reach millions of dollars. But how does a progressive jackpot work? The jackpots in these games are based on a random number generated by a Random Number Generator (RNG), which is a computer algorithm that generates unique numbers hundreds of times a second. The winnings are based on the arrangement of symbols on the reels.
In addition to the classic 5-reel slot games, you can find games with three or more reels and cascading symbols. These classic games can be exciting and can be played in a casino. Some of the most popular games in this category are Book of Alchemy and Watford FC Slot. These games are also available in video versions. These games do not have any physical reels, and are controlled by a computer program.

Q: How to define condition as variable to find method in mongodb? I want to use code to manipulate 'condition' as variable before passing into 'find' method (for MongoDB):
let condition;

if (cat) {
   condition = { $and: [{brand: brnd},
                        {category: cat} ]
               }
} else {
   condition = {brand: brnd}
}

productCol.find(condition);

But I am unable to get this to work. Can anyone help me how I can make it to work? Thank you

A: Can you be more specific about your code like how did u setup your connection and how are you trying to use the result and what errors are you getting when you are trying to run your code. Please try the below code.
    var FindQuery=function(cat){
    if (cat) {
    var condition = { $and: [{brand: brnd},
                    {category: cat} ] }
    } else {
    var condition = {brand: brnd}
    }

    return productCol.find(condition);
    };
    FindQuery(condition)


Can Apple and Roku mount a serious challenge to Amazon Channels?
Amazon Channels has first mover advantage in the SVOD aggregation stakes. Do Roku and Apple have what it takes to catch up?
Variety reported the other day that Roku is planning to create an SVOD store along the lines of Amazon Channels. Last month the publication said that Apple was planning the same thing. The model seems to be working very well for the 200+ services that have signed up with Amazon. Will SVOD services be as keen to work with Apple with Roku? Here are four things they will have to deliver if they are to stand a chance.
The extraordinary video reach of Amazon is a big part of Channels' success. According to Jeff Bezos, Amazon Prime has more than 100 million subscribers. With three-quarters of Prime members using the video service, most are accustomed to using Amazon to find and watch video. However, Amazon's reach is even larger than that. 18% of the US population use Amazon to rent or purchase videos. Each one of these visits is an opportunity to sell people SVOD subscriptions.
Neither Apple nor Roku can come anywhere near Amazon's video reach. Apple's iTunes is used by 8% of the US population to rent or buy videos. As well, Apple TV holds a 15% share of the streaming media player market. There are 20 million active Roku users.
Amazon is perhaps the preeminent marketer in the world today. It has a huge trove of user data and has spent the last 24 years honing its ability to leverage the data to market to its customers. More specifically, it has data on customer viewing habits through Amazon Prime Video and its TVOD store. The company is applying all its accumulated experience and knowledge consumer video habits to selling Channel partner services to its customers.
Again, neither Apple nor Roku come anywhere near Amazon's ability to sell people SVOD services.
Apple certainly has a great deal of experience in marketing to consumers. However, when it comes to marketing video products, the company is much less successful. It started out as the leader in the TVOD business but quickly lost that lead to Amazon. It continues to fall further behind. Apple will need a much better understanding of its customer's video habits, and a much more aggressive marketing approach, if it is to be a successful SVOD store.
Roku is not a major player in the TVOD space. It provides marketing assistance to SVOD providers that pay for it. However, marketing abilities on the Roku platform are far more restricted than Amazon.
Unified search is perhaps the most powerful marketing tool for video services. The moment when someone does a title search while in front of the TV is the most powerful moment to make a pitch for an SVOD service. It also gives the platform owner a huge advantage as it gets to decide the order in which the search results are displayed. All the TV platforms owned by the three SVOD store contenders include unified search. However, the edge must go to Roku. 37% of broadband households with a streaming media player own a Roku. Amazon Fire TV is close behind with 24% and Apple TV a distant fourth with 15% share.
Though the connected TV is critical in the delivery of premium video services, access from all screens is also important. Here it is hard to beat Apple. It owns 45% of the mobile market. If it can tightly couple the Apple SVOD store with its mobile devices neither Amazon nor Roku will be able to come anywhere near to matching Apple's screen reach.
By these four measures, it's hard to see how either Apple or Roku can mount a serious challenge to Amazon Channels. That said, they may be able to build an interesting business and attract many SVOD services to their store.
Apple and Roku appear ready to mount a challenge to Amazon Channels.
In the areas of video reach and marketing ability, neither Apple nor Roku is even in the same league as Amazon.
When it comes to unified search on television, Roku has the advantage.
If Apple can leverage its mobile base, it would have a huge advantage over Amazon and Roku.

Glaucoma Delays REM?
Glaucoma patients show significant delay in saccadic eye movement.
By RO Staff

A number of recent studies have highlighted the increased risk of falls and car accidents among glaucoma patients. Now, new research published online in the journal Eye and Brain may help to explain why.
Neeru Gupta, MD, PhD, MBA, and a team of researchers at St. Michael's Hospital in Toronto found that saccadic eye movements are significantly delayed in patients with glaucoma, even in those in the early stages of disease. These movements are key in our everyday lives, especially for scanning and navigating the surrounding environment.
"Now that we know that eye movement reaction times are delayed in people with glaucoma, there is an opportunity to understand the effects of glaucoma on daily activities of living that most of us take for granted, such as walking up and down stairs, driving, navigating and reading," says Dr. Gupta, chief of glaucoma at the University of Toronto. "Just as alcohol causes a delay in hitting the brakes, glaucoma slows the time it takes to move the eyes quickly in response to a visual cue."
His team found that eye movement reaction times in glaucoma patients were delayed by about 15% compared to subjects without glaucoma. Also of interest, saccade parameters showed no significant correlation with visual field loss in glaucoma patients.
Dr. Gupta foresees that measuring these reaction times could provide a useful way to quantify visual loss in glaucoma patients, beyond eye charts or visual field tests.

Iranians flee their failing state for Turkey and beyond
Growing number of Iranians are de facto buying Turkish citizenship to escape the deprivation and misery of living in Iran
by Kourosh Ziabari January 20, 2021 January 23, 2021

Iranians are buying real estate in Turkey in hope of acquiring citizenship and leaving behind the bitter realities of life in Iran's failing state and economy.
Foreign nationals who purchase Turkish houses, apartments, offices, shops or land worth at least US$250,000 can obtain Turkish citizenship, according to the Turkish government's citizenship by property investment scheme.
The previous threshold was $1 million but Ankara slashed the minimum purchase in 2018 amid an economic crisis and eyeing increased investment by well-to-do Persian Gulf citizens as well as would-be Iranian immigrants.
Immigration from Iran to Turkey has steady risen in recent years, with the first wave starting in 2009 following a disputed, violent presidential contest that saw the reelection of the hardline President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who cracked down on dissidents at home and wreaked havoc on Iran's relations with the international community through his nuclear brinkmanship and adventurous foreign policies.
The second wave noticeably started following US President Donald Trump's May 2018 decision to pull America out of the Iran nuclear deal and impose harsh new economic sanctions. Iran's economy has been in tatters ever since, driving an ever-growing number of Iranians to seek their livelihoods abroad.
An Iran Migration Outlook 2020 report published by the Iranian government put the number of Iranian migrants worldwide at 1.93 million in 2019, representing 2.3% of the country's 82.9 million population.
Unofficial estimates, however, put the Iranian diaspora figure closer to 3 million, of which an estimated 67,000 Iranians now reside in neighboring Turkey. Iranian passport holders can travel visa-free to only five countries worldwide; they can travel to another 31 by visa on arrival.
Turkey's General Directorate of Deeds and Lands data indicates 6,694 foreign nationals were granted Turkish nationality through property purchases between 2017 and 2019. Iranians lead the league with 1,475 buyers in the two-year period. Iraqis came second, followed by Afghans.
The figures jumped substantially in 2020 with 7,189 Iranians purchasing Turkish property, according to Turkish Statistical Institute data.
The rise in purchases can be attributed to the steep depreciation of the Iranian rial, which lost around 50% of its value against the US dollar in 2020, unchecked hyperinflation, a worsening economy and rising concerns of a military showdown with the US.

Still, high-ranking Islamic Republic authorities have openly voiced dismay at the growing number of Iranians who are moving their capital and resources out of the country to buy homes and land in Turkey and other places.
In August 2020, Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei called on President Hassan Rouhani's administration to penalize those who purchase real estate abroad during a time of crisis at home.
"Profiteering activities such as the importing of luxury goods or purchasing of real estate overseas must be penalized," he said in a virtual meeting with Rouhani's cabinet members.
At a time Iran watches its foreign currency reserves deplete and desperately seeks investment to keep its beleaguered industries and energy sector afloat, the leadership is keen to prevent Iranians from sending their funds abroad.
Iranians are not only buying houses and land in Turkey to escape their nation's economic plight. They are also snapping up property in states as diverse as Armenia, Austria, Azerbaijan, Georgia and Spain in hopes of attaining citizenship through investment, according to local reports.
Mastoureh Fathi, an assistant professor at the School of Sociology at the University College Dublin says that Turkey is a popular destination for Iranian investors, tourists and citizenship applicants because it is affordable and allows for visa-free entry to Iranian passport holders.
"Many Iranians also feel they share cultural characteristics with the Turkish society, in terms of food, music and history, which attracts a lot of Iranian tourists," she said. "Geographical proximity is also a factor which allows cheaper modes of travel."
Yet for many Iranians who settle in Turkey, the ultimate destination is Europe. Iranian nationals are unable to travel freely to many European countries, where obtaining visas is often a bureaucratic nightmare.

All 27 EU member states, the United Kingdom, United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and nearly all Asian states, with a few exceptions, require Iranians to have pre-approved valid visas to enter. The EU in particular has sought to close loopholes whereby Iranians use second countries to gain entry to the EU.
In 2017, Serbia became the first nation in continental Europe to lift visa restrictions for Iranian visitors, a decision that spurred an influx of Iranian asylum-seekers into the European country.
The Serbian government reported that some 15,000 Iranians traveled to the Balkan state, with 1,100 of them applying for asylum immediately upon arrival soon after the visa restriction was lifted. Before that, there were no direct flights between Tehran and Belgrade for 27 years.
In October 2018, under pressure from Brussels, Serbia abolished the visa-free prerogative for Iranian nationals. EU officials claimed that Iranian migrants were "abusing" the privilege to illegally enter the bloc.
Some wonder if Iranians are now using Turkey as a similar type of stepping stone to the EU. Turkey, which shares a long land border of 560 kilometers with Iran, offers Iranian nationals 90-day visa-free entry, after which they may extend their stay through an administrative process.
"Iranians see Turkey as a stepping stone to Europe. Many Iranians who come to Turkey do not settle here. Especially in the academic field, they prefer to go to schools in Europe after studying here at the university or having a master's degree," said Gizem Aslantepe, a research assistant at The Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey.
Aslantepe adds that Turkey is a major beneficiary of Iranian entrepreneurial investment.
More Iranians could be on the way. In recent months, the hashtag "#Normal_life" has trended on Iranian social media with images of Iranians enjoying comparatively jovial lives in exile or abroad including in Turkey.

Although the Turkish government has traditionally treated Iranian citizens well, there is a rising risk that geopolitical rivalries between the two governments could come at the expense of Iranians who have settled in Turkey to escape Iran's deprivations.
"There is still a possibility of escalation between Tehran and Ankara due to the divisive and polarizing policies on Syria and Nagorno-Karabakh pursued by both countries," said Esra Serim, a Turkish scholar in France and a former researcher at the University of Edinburgh, referring to two recent proxy wars where Iran and Turkey have been on opposite sides.
"They have just been ignoring disagreements for the sake of economic cooperation… [But] they are still opponents in both Syria and Nagorno-Karabakh. Therefore, they have to sweep their disagreements on regional matters under the carpet in order to be on good terms with each other," she added.

AKP, food photographer Jakarta had an opportunity to making food images for Kopitiam at Singapore. Liu San Kopitiam has many unique food dish. Albert Kurniawan did the stylist and at same time did arrange props and took the shoot. The photo session was happen at his kitchen studio. The owner and his team brought all the fresh and prepared materials for the shoot.
The concept for this kopitiam is traditional feel with simplicity. The style is homey look with showing detail of product. This images will represented the brand feel and its popularity as the traditional homey but professional. Simple and close to heart kind of daily food. The idea for this concept was develop instant after we chat before we start the food styling proses.
Food Photographer Jakarta Shoot with Hasselblad medium format and phase one digital back for quality. The lighting arrangement was specifically set up with 6 strobe lamps. Shadow and highlight was managed in way to make the image has its own characteristic. The 120mm lens was so productive in making the depth of field smooth but has detail and blur in certain way. It is complicated to explain what is effect what.


In July of 2004, I had donned my Star Trek uniform and was off to a Star Trek convention. It was also at this time that I had just read for the first time Henry Hazlitt's Economics in One Lesson and became a libertarian. As a new convert, I was enthusiastic to have political discussions but was horrified by what I encountered.
The majority of the actors commenced their talks by professing a love of left-wing politics and the response from the audience was as enthusiastic as a Nuremberg rally. Everyone I encountered confessed to jealousy of my being Canadian due to our free health care – despite it not being free, nor healthy, nor caring. There were discussions of a $30/hour minimum wage.
I went home and verified this experience with other science fiction fans online. They were thoroughly to the left. It was odd because science fiction typically praises the human intellect and the belief that scientific rationalism can fix our problems rather than brute force.
There's a reason for the gravitation of left-wing minds to science fiction and I believe it's for a contrapositive reason that right-wing minds gravitate toward reading history. People on the right enjoy romanticizing about the past and yet it's often a fictitious past that never existed.
Make America Great Again implies a form of greatness to the past. There were certainly periods with presidents who possessed superior financial acumen along with superior foreign policies. These were also times of intense racial segregation enacted by the government. It should be noted that by the majority of metrics, a lower-middle-class person today is far wealthier than John Rockefeller.
The left, especially my science fiction-loving friends on the left, is likewise infatuated with a concept of the future that doesn't exist. Their Marxist ideology will never come into fruition in a positive way.
People on the left are forward-looking, this is why they have adopted the moniker progressive. People on the right wish to appraise the greatness of their own culture and retain the elements that had them arrive at this place, this why they adopted the moniker conservative.
The right is so infatuated with their own culture, so patriotic, such they admire the shared language, shared values, shared borders, shared history (often times a mythological history if the culture is old enough), and they wish to preserve this.
The left is open to a shift. People who travel more tend to be on the left. People who don't look back tend to be on the left. Sometimes change can be a good thing. Sometimes it can be a terrible thing. As C.S. Lewis noted, it doesn't make sense to continue moving forward when traveling along to a destination if one is traveling in the wrong direction.
Star Trek has a new show out, Discovery. It appears to have been written for, and by, social justice warriors. Try as hard as I may, I have a difficult time envisioning someone exhorting others to check their privilege and then going on to successfully fight ISIS, let alone the Klingon Empire.
Science fiction is on the left because it's designed to be on the left. There is a very real concept, a velleity – a wish unaccompanied by meaningful actions to obtain the thing desired for. The fat person that wants to lose weight but doesn't do anything about it.
This is the left. They wish for a future they themselves do nothing to obtain. Marxism has offered them a shortcut. It's the five-minute abs program that only the foolish are naive enough to adopt. Science fiction allows them to continue on with their dreams, never waking up to reality.
Thank you so much for this. I haven't had a good laugh in a while. Keep up the good work, comrade!

Life can bring many unexpected challenges. The decision to leave one's country and create a new life takes courage, hard work and an immense commitment to provide a better life and opportunities to one's family. Every individual shares a different story: some are forced to leave their country because of war, persecution, lack of resources, poverty or human rights violations. While others chose to leave for a chance to create a better life for their families, pursue a dream of a career, or to find safety.
Unfortunately, staying in the United States has become harder for many families. As immigration laws and policies become stricter, many families are being ripped apart. As a result, families are left behind in severe emotional and mental distress struggling with: trauma, depression, anxiety, stress, and extreme financial hardship.
We know that there are many obstacles to go through to receive legal status to remain or return to the United States. We want to help make the process easier and be part of the solution for many families here in SWFL.
If your attorney has suggested that you obtain a report from an immigration evaluation therapist, we provide immigration psychological evaluation services by trained mental health bilingual therapist. A Mental Health Evaluation adds a great value to an immigration case.
The immigration evaluation includes questions regarding, but are not limited to, your current immigration status; your personal and family history; your work history; and any medical or psychiatric history that may be relevant, and psychological assessments. We will then complete a written report and send it to your attorney. Immigration Evaluations and reports can be beneficial for any of the following immigration proceedings:
Extreme Hardship Cases
Spousal Abuse (VAWA)
Political Asylum Cases
If you are interested in setting up an appointment, have further questions, or would like more information on evaluation costs, please give us a call at (407)-545-3250.
