Written as part of Friday Fictioneers, which offers the image as inspiration to write a fiction in 100 words (or less) AND Midweek Wordle #4 at A Prompt Each Day, which offers a set of ten word as inspiration, from which I've selected six, AND 3 Word Wednesday #433 which offers the words Puzzled, Nervous and Lump as inspiration for a post. Photo by Kent Bonham. Word Count: 100.
The quaint tea store, its ambience almost ancient, was tucked away behind a flashy TRAK sign.
The aroma of fresh tea wafted over as I passed it. I wondered if the tea leaves would know my future's stories.
"One l..lump or.rr. two, sir?" the old lady asked, a nervous stutter in her voice.
I hadn't the heart to refuse.
I smiled, draining the cup at once.
"Delicious," I told her, and turned to leave.
But the shutter was closed.
The old lady laughed seeing my puzzled look.
The cup had filled again.
Sounds like the Hotel California – you can check out but you can never leave?
It sound like the tea shop for life. Nicely done.
It holds true. The future can be most mystifying? Wonderful write Vinay!
How I love cups that fill themselves! (Do you know where I might find one?) And the brevity of this mysterious tale: delicious!
I'm afraid not, MMT 😀 If I find such a quaint tea shop, I'll give you a heads up 😉 Glad you liked the tale!
That was a creepy twist at the end…unexpected as it started out all benign. Good one.
Yeah 🙂 I seem to be fond of the twists these days, Ansumani 🙂 Glad you liked the story.
Love this! It's supernatural … and yet, not.
AnElephant wonders if he has to enter his details every week?
Glad you found it wonderfully creepy 🙂 Thanks.
Perhaps his future holds more than can be seen in one cup? 🙂 Interestingly eerie. Nice!
oh nice twist at the end that they can't leave.
Heheh 😛 Just the quaint ones, Shilpa 😉 Glad you liked the twist.
I never much cared for tea and now I'm off it for good! Hm… What would happen if he dropped the cup?
And then what do you do??
Keep having tea, I suppose 😛 What else to do, Ilirian Wanderer?!
Maybe 😀 That'll be a twist to a twist I guess 😉 Thank you, Elly.
You can have too much tea. Poor traveller, trapped in a nightmare situation. Well done.
I suppose there are worse places to get stuck – provided you like coffee!
I like coffee, Rosey, but not so much to get stuck in either 😉 Thank you.
I started out feeling sorry for the old lady!
Exactly 😉 That was the idea, Cookie 😀 All is not what it seems.
Too bad the tea leaves hadn't been read first! Love the twist, and will now think twice about tea shops should I need a hot beverage.
Ahh.. I was gonna say hotel California.. (and I guess I already did) and i promise I thought of it before reading the first comment.
Good one, a teashop you never leave! Do vampires, werewolves, or just the psychopathic teetotaler run it?
Just an old lady, Yolanda, but if she's a vampire or a werewolf, I'm not sure 😀 Thanks.
Sounds like something from a bad dream, having to replay the same scenario over and over again. A very unique take on the picture!
It could be, Francesca 🙂 Glad you liked the take.
Quite scary, as much as I love a good cup of tea I would want to drink cup after cup. An interesting and unusual take on the prompt which I enjoyed reading.
Nicely done. I agree with Mick, Tea California Shop.
This looks likqe the tea shop from hell. I wonder what breaking the cup would do. Great story.
Clever story, Vinay. I hope it's some good tea since, apparently, he's not through! I hope he gets bathroom breaks. 🙂 Very original story, nicely done.
I certainly hope he has had some breaks too, Amy Reese 😀 Or different types of tea at least. The same could be boring 😛 Glad you liked the story.
Haha 😀 Wonder if he feels the same way, Ruby Manchanda 🙂 Thank you for stopping by.
Oooh, creepy! That would certainly make my head spin.
A cup of tea is refreshing but one after another…nah!
Yeah. 😛 One that is repetitive. 😉 Thank you, Sims.
Condemned to drinking tea for an eternity? Just hope restroom breaks are permitted. Jokes apart this was nicely done with a touch of mystery and supernatural in it.
I hope he gets the breaks too, Subroto 😀 It'll be torturous otherwise 😛 Glad you liked the tale. Thanks.
Vinay, The hair on the back of my neck stood.
Loved the twist in the tea tale!!
Great story. And, in a weird way, captures exactly how I, as a coffee drinker, feel about tea whenever I'm obliged to drink it.
🙂 Kind of the same feeling here too, Etienne. I can relate 😀 Glad you liked the story.
Just enough 'spook' to catch one off guard!

Q: jquery Pull Down Menu the following question might be easy for you guys, but I'm still trying to get my head around jQuery.
Let's say I have a button. When I hover it, a div slides down at the bottom of the button and represents a pull down menu. The menu should be still there when I am not hovering the button, but obviously it isn't since i set it to be turned on when I hover the button. How can I keep the menu there and turn it off when I hover another button?
Thanks.

A: http://jsfiddle.net/bSDwb/ -- Is this what you want?

A: maybe this is what you need (similar to tandu's answer but I was working on it so I'm still going to post it)
http://jsfiddle.net/hashie5/6qzu8/23/

A: Hi as you are using hover event to show your pull down menu, you can keep your menu visible even you move your cursor from the button and to hide the menu you can use the following code, which runs on your mouse click anywhere else in the document.

    // for taks sum menus ( to remove if user clicks anywhere else)
    $(document).mouseup(function (e)
               {
                   var container = $(".submenu"); //menu div class

                   if (!container.is(e.target) // if the target of the click isn't the container...
                       && container.has(e.target).length === 0) // ... nor a descendant of the container
                   {
                       container.hide();
                   }
               });

I hope this will help you.

Q: How/Why HLS is codec dependent? I was reading about HLS and DASH. I was going through this post Difference between HLS and DASH. One of the difference I found is that HLS supports only H264 video codec and DASH is completely codec agnostic. I have some questions.

*

*Why HLS is considered to be codec dependent?

*How HLS is codec dependent? My understanding is that HLS has a .M3U8 file which contains URL and other information of different representations. Client applicartion can fetch .ts media files from the required URL depending on the available bandwidth.

World Aftershocks rattle southwestern Japan after quake kills nine
Aftershocks rattle southwestern Japan after quake kills nine
TOKYO - Friday, April 15, 2016 16:00 Email Print
Strong quake in Japan kills at least nine, nuclear plants safe
'Hearts are in pieces' five years after tsunami hits Japan
Aftershocks rattled southwestern Japan on Friday after a strong quake the night before killed nine people, injured at least 1,000 and cut power and water across the region, forcing the temporary shutdown of several auto and electronics factories.
By afternoon, more than 130 aftershocks had hit the area around the city of Kumamoto in the wake of the initial 6.4 magnitude quake the night before. Officials said the frequency was tapering off but the risk of further strong aftershocks will remain for about a week.
While the magnitude of Thursday's quake was much lower than that of the 9.0 March 11, 2011 quake that touched off a massive tsunami and nuclear meltdowns at Fukushima, the intensity was similar because it struck on land and at a much shallower depth.
"We managed to huddle into a space, that's why we were saved," one man told NHK national television after he and his family were rescued from their collapsed house two hours after the quake hit. "We're all safe, that's what counts."
More than 44,000 people initially fled to schools and community centers, some spending the night outside after the first quake hit around 9:30 p.m.
Roads cracked, houses crumbled, and tiles cascaded from the roof of the 400-year-old Kumamoto Castle in the center of the city.
Among those pulled from the wreckage was an eight-month-old baby girl, wrapped in a blanket and passed hand to hand by firefighters. Several hospitals had to evacuate patients.
Japanese stocks ended down 0.4 percent, with the impact of the quake limited primarily to regional shares that could experience some direct impact. Regional utility Saibu Gas Co Ltd (9536.T) finished 2.7 percent lower.
Several companies, including Honda Motor Corp (7267.T), suspended operations at plants in the area.
More than 3,000 troops, police and firemen were dispatched to the area from around Japan, and Prime Minister Shinzo Abe said more would be sent if needed.
"We will do everything in our power to ensure the safety of local residents," Abe told a parliamentary committee.
Most of the dead came from Mashiki, a town of around 34,000 people near the epicenter of the quake, where firefighters battled a blaze late on Thursday. Daylight showed splintered houses under tiled roofs and an apartment building whose ground floor was pulverized, where two people died.
"I want to go home, but we couldn't do anything there," one boy at an evacuation center told TBS television as he bounced a baby in his arms.
Though the intensity of Thursday's quake on the Japanese scale matched that of the March 2011 quake that left nearly 20,000 dead, the absence of a tsunami helped keep the death toll down.
Service on the Shinkansen superfast train in Kyushu was halted after one train derailed, and highways were closed after some sections collapsed. About 12,200 households were without electricity as of 12 p.m. (0500 GMT), according to Kyushu Electric Power Co Inc (9508.T), while some 58,000 lacked water.
The Nuclear Regulation Authority said there were no irregularities at three nuclear plants on the southern major island of Kyushu and nearby Shikoku.
Sony Corp (6758.T), Mitsubishi Electric Corp (6503.T) and tire maker Bridgestone Corp (5108.T) also suspended operations at factories in the area.
The 2011 quake temporarily crippled part of Japan's auto supply chain, but some companies have since adjusted the industry's "Just in Time" production philosophy in a bid to limit any repeat of the costly disruption.

Front Line Defenders condemns the intensified targeting of labour and trade union rights defenders in Iran
Since early April 2020, six Iranian labour and trade union rights defenders have been subjected to intensified harassment including court summons, new charges and denial of temporary release from prison despite the current COVID-19 crisis. The targeting of Jafar Azimzadeh, Parvin Mohammadi, Nahid Khodajou, Shahpour Ehsanirad, Esmail Abdi and Mohammad Habibi comes after recent criticism by labour rights defenders and organisations of the Iranian authorities' decision on 8 April 2020 to minimally increase minimum wage, without negotiating with representatives from labour rights groups.
Download the Urgent Appeal
Jafar Azimzadeh is the Secretary of the Board of Directors of the Free Workers Union of Iran. Parvin Mohammadi is the vice-president of the union and Nahid Khodajou is a member of its board of directors. The Free Union Workers of Iran is a group dedicated to defending labour rights and improving working conditions. It has not been officially recognised by the Iranian authorities and many of its leading members are subject to harassment. Shahpour Ehsanirad is one of the founding members of the Association of the Retired Workers of the Social Security Organisation and a member of the board of directors of the Free Union of Iranian Workers. Esmail Abdi is the Secretary General of Iran's Teachers' Trade Association (ITTA). Mohammad Habibi is an active member of the board of directors of the Teacher's Trade Union of Tehran.
On 12 April 2020, the family of labour rights defender Jafar Azimzadeh were notified via text message that a new charge had been brought against him in the Second Branch of Shahid Moqadas Amniat (Evin) Court. Neither Jafar Azimzadeh nor his family were informed of the nature of the new charges nor were they invited for a hearing on the charges. Jafar Azimzadeh is currently serving a sentence of 5 years imprisonment for "acting against national security by gathering and planning" and "spreading propaganda against the state", issued by Branch 15 of the Tehran Revolutionary Court. On 9 April 2020, the defender's family was informed that he has not been granted temporary release during the COVID-19 outbreak despite him suffering from heart and digestive diseases. The new charges brought against him remain unknown.
Jafar Azimzadeh has already completed two years and one month of his five-year sentence, which technically makes him eligible to benefit from the Iranian judicial system's new directive to furlough some prisoners during the COVID-19 pandemic. The directive allows prisoners with national security charges to be temporarily released if they have a ''reasonable'' bail, a prison sentence of less than 5 years and have served one third or more of their sentence already. However, the criteria for the directive have not been formalised and according to family members of imprisoned HRDs, decisions seem to be made on a case by case basis.
On 12 April 2020, human rights defender Shahpour Ehsanirad was summoned to Branch 1 of Evin Prison's Implementation of Verdicts Department to serve his six years prison sentence despite suffering from respiratory issues and the current situation regarding COVID-19. In September 2019, the Revolutionary Court of Tehran sentenced him to six years imprisonment for "assembly and collusion against national security" and "propaganda against the state", in connection with his peaceful labour rights advocacy.
On 13 April 2020, judicial envoys informed woman human rights defender Parvin Mohammadi that her house would be auctioned as part of the bail used for her fellow defender Jafar Azimzadeh's temporary release from prison in September 2017 and December 2016. Parvin Mohammadi was arrested on 28 January 2019 and charged with "assembly and collusion against national security" by Branch 1 of Karaj Revolutionary Court. She began serving her one year sentence on 7 December 2019. On 26 March 2020, she was granted temporary release from prison due to COVID-19. However, she is expected to return to prison to complete her sentence, despite seemingly fulfilling the criteria of an informal government amnesty that judicial authorities have reportedly granted to some prisoners who have been temporarily released during COVID-19. She is suffering from severe migraines and has developed spinal disc herniation during her time in prison.
On 16 April 2020, women's and labour rights defender Nahid Khodajou was verbally informed that the appeals court had held a hearing of her appeal without the presence of her lawyer or the defender herself, and had upheld the initial verdict. Nahid Khodajou was arrested during Labour Day demonstrations in front of the parliament in Tehran on 1 May 2019 and was released on bail on 3 June 2019. However, on 10 October 2019, the Revolutionary Court of Tehran sentenced her to six years in prison and 74 lashes for "acting against national security by gathering and planning" and "offence against public order", in connection with her participation in Labour Day demonstrations.
On 20 April 2020 Esmail Abdi appeared before the Evin prison court to extend his temporary release from prison during COVID-19, which had started on 8 March 2020. His request was denied and he was returned to prison. The labour rights defender was imprisoned on 9 November 2016, following the Tehran Appeals Court's decision to uphold his six years prison sentence on charges related to his peaceful trade union activities. On 10 April 2020, Esmail Abdi, Jafar Azimzadeh and two other human rights defenders published a statement warning against the danger of the government's negligence around COVID-19, the poor health and hygiene protection in prisons, and criticising the selective approach of prison authorities in depriving prisoners of conscience of temporary leave during the pandemic. Front Line Defenders believes that the publication of this statement, along with criticism by human rights defenders of the recent government's decision on minimum wage, may be the reasons for the increased harassment experienced by labour rights defenders.
On 22 April 2020, human rights defender Mohammad Habibi was issued a letter of termination from the Iranian Ministry of Education, effectively ending his career as a teacher after eighteen years. Front Line Defenders believes that this is a consequence of his arbitrary detention since 4 August 2018. The defender has not been granted temporary release during COVID-19, despite suffering from a chronic lung infection. On 4 August 2018, Mohammad Habibi was sentenced to seven and a half years imprisonment for "collusion against national security", 18 months imprisonment for "propaganda against the regime" and 18 months imprisonment for "disrupting public order". He also received a two year travel ban, along with a ban from participating in any political or union activity for the same amount of time.
Front Line Defenders is seriously concerned about the intensified harassment of Iranian labour and trade union rights defenders, including through the use of court summons, new charges, and arbitrary denial of temporary release during the COVID-19 pandemic. Front Line Defenders believes that the targeting of Jafar Azimzadeh, Parvin Mohammadi, Nahid Khodajou, Shahpour Ehsanirad, Esmail Abdi and Mohammad Habibi is linked to criticism of the recent government's decision to minimally increase minimum wage following negotiations which excluded interested groups who work peacefully for the rights of workers and employers. The targeting of imprisoned labour rights defenders also comes at a time when they have been critical of the government's handling of COVID-19 with regard to prison conditions and the temporary release of prisoners. Front Line Defenders further believes that increased harassment of labour rights defenders may be aimed at silencing them so as to prevent protests on the upcoming Labour Day.
Front Line Defenders calls on the Iranian authorities to immediately cease the harassment of labour and trade union rights defenders, drop the charges against them and unconditionally release those who remain imprisoned, as it is believed that they have been targeted solely as a result of their legitimate human rights activities. It further calls on the authorities to ensure protection and hygienic provisions for the detained human rights defenders, and grant non-discriminatory access to temporary release and furlough during the pandemic according to Iranian judicial system's COVID-19 directive.

Q: I have a data frame that I'd like to filter On the column that I'd like to filter, the column contains data from two different sources. I'd like to normalize this data. We collected some data a certain way and the other rows of data contain data that was collected another way. There are rows that contain 1.2 2.3 3.4 and nothing over 5. I would like to multiply these numbers by 1,000 to match up with the others and remove the comma from the numbers above 1,000.

col1
col2

1
1.641

2
1.548

3
1,807.000

4
1,759.000

A: It sounds like you want to filter some rows (col2 < 5), apply a transformation (col2 * 1000) then remove something (,).
df.loc[df['col2']<=5,'col2'] = df['col2']*1000
Next would be to remove the comma but if you know all the values in col2 are whole numbers (no decimals) then I think you can just
df['col2'] = int(df['col2'])
But its safer to apply a replace but only if the values are string (if not, df['col2'] = str(df['col2']))
Then you can apply the following:
df['col'2'] = df['col2'].str.replace(',','')

A: You can create a boolean mask on whether 'col2' contains a comma or not. If it contains a comma, remove the comma. For numbers with no comma, multiply it by 1000:
mask = df['col2'].str.contains(',')
df.loc[mask, 'col2'] = df.loc[mask, 'col2'].str.replace(',','')
df['col2'] = df['col2'].astype(float)
df.loc[~mask, 'col2'] *= 1000

Output:
   col1    col2
0     1  1641.0
1     2  1548.0
2     3  1807.0
3     4  1759.0

A: One other thing I thought about was the type mixing in Python. Based on what you have above, my guess is either you have col2 as string or float. If string, then go through the replace method to get rid of the string. If float, then you shouldn't need to replace the comma (that may be how Python shows thousands and millions but I can't remember specifics).
Run print(df.dtypes) to check.

A: I have only tried one solution of those given.
Float64. What you talked about is accurate @fmarz10. I wanted to filter the rows and apply a transformation, then remove something. This first row of code works perfect, it just worked.
df.loc[df['col2']<=5,'col2'] = df['col2']*1000
I did, however, refrain from using the second suggestion to as some numbers are not just whole numbers and contain values at least two places into the decimal. To complete it, I did something like this and it looks good from just scanning the first few rows.
df['col'2'] = df['col2'].replace(',','')
vs the original suggestion:
df['col'2'] = df['col2'].str.replace(',','')
NOTE: This works, but this is weekly data, and each row is a week's worth of data and there are about 15,000 rows, so I need to just graze a few before making an assessment, but the first few look good.

Queen of the Mist
The Forgotten Heroine of Niagara
Author: Joan Murray
This novel-in-verse tells the fascinating story of Annie Taylor, who, in 1901, became the first person to plunge over the brink of Niagara Falls in a barrel. But as Joan Murray reveals, America didn't know what to do with a mature and self-possessed heroine: Annie Taylor, as an 'older woman,' was rejected and exploited and finally eclipsed by the man who repeated her stunt ten years later.
"A portrait of a woman so achingly intimate it will linger long in your memory." —Joyce Carol Oates
"[A] superb book-length poem, Queen of the Mist tells a story about the quest for fame, the cruelties of discrimination and the vagaries of the American dream. . . . [A]n eminently readable, rhythmic narrative that crackles with candor and wry sagacity. I read this in one sitting." —Jan Worth, Detroit Free Press
"Joan Murray's engrossing account of Annie Taylor—the teacher who in 1901, at the age of 63, was the first person to shoot the falls—is just as imaginative as the quest narratives of poetic tradition." —Robert Taylor, The Boston Globe
"Testament to the surprise and beauty that poetry can still be. . . . Murray [has] an admirable dedication to the epic drama, the rhythms, the sounds of poetry. . . . [B]ut what is truly striking is the way she has transformed the forgotten figure of Annie Taylor into an augur of the age to come." —Justin Coffin, Philadelphia Inquirer
"Establish[es] Murray as a major feminist voice working in a dramatic mode. . . . Taylor's preparations, her inner motivations and the plunge itself are all movingly rendered." —Publishers Weekly
"[A] quintessentially American epic. . . . In form, structure, language, narrative, it is wonderful." —Gerald Stern, National Book Award winner

Hey, members of the media: Eric Trump doesn't appreciate you reporting that the Trump Organization recently fired a dozen employees who are in the U.S. illegally even though managers had known about their legal status for years.
The president's second-born son took to Twitter on Monday to lash out at the media for daring to report a newsworthy story.
The Washington Post, which broke the original story on Saturday, noted that Trump did not mention what fixes to immigration he'd like to see during Monday's Twitter tirade.
NBC News correspondent Kate Snow, who interviewed some of the fired Trump employees, reached out to Trump on Monday.
Trump responded that he wanted "our incompetent 'lawmakers' to fix this broken (and very sad) system," but, again, didn't offer any specifics.
Although it's possible Trump may have simply wanted to highlight other global tragedies besides those focusing on his family, many Twitter users he was trying to distract attention away from the story.
Suddenly you care about other people? Oh ... I get it. You want to shine a light on something other than yourself. See you in jail.
What it shows has nothing to do with the media, but rather that your family has continued to flout the law at every turn, that the only consistencies in Trump land are hypocrisy and grifting, seasoned with a substantial dusting of disregard for workers.
Hey Captain Short Attention Span, those stories were covered, it's just that the level of corruption in the Trump organization is news worthy.
Eric, the system isn't broken. As an employer, you should know it's your responsibility to comply with the law and ensure you are hiring people who can legally work in this country. Your company failed to use the resources available to you (e.g. E-Verify), and you got caught.

USC Annenberg School of Journalism Director Willow Bay (left) asks a question of Los Angeles Clipper point guard Chris Paul (right) as he visited during a Journalism Director's Forum at Wallis Annenberg Hall on January 10, 2017.

NBA star Chris Paul visits USC Annenberg for a conversation with Willow Bay
Updated December 12, 2019 1:07 p.m.
Chris Paul, L.A. Clippers' point guard and president of the National Basketball Player's Association, visited USC Annenberg on January 10, 2017 for a wide-ranging conversation with School of Journalism director Willow Bay.
The Journalism Director's Forum was held in the lobby of Wallis Annenberg Hall, with the NBA star power attracting an overflow crowd that spilled up the stairs and onto the balconies of the multi-level building.
But according to Bay, Paul is not just a celebrated athlete with two Olympic gold medals, but a great communicator who has been able to use his celebrity to help others, give back to the community and influence a multi-billion dollar league's labor relations.
"I invited Chris Paul to visit Annenberg because he is a true leader with exceptional strategic communication instincts, who has used his voice across multiple platforms effectively and authentically in both his professional and personal lives," Bay said.
Annenberg overall has deep and broad ties across the entire sporting landscape. Among the school's faculty are ESPN reporters Shelley Smith and Arash Markazi, as well as the Los Angeles Kings' Senior Communications Director Jeff Moeller. Many classes offer students the opportunity to learn from sports professionals, from athletes, owners to broadcasters, and have included visits to local teams such as the Lakers and the Clippers.
"Our sports studies minor is one of our biggest, and continues to grow," Bay said. "In addition, our sports journalism coverage includes daily news stories along with Sports SCene, a weekly TV sports program."
One of the main topics of the conversation concerned how Paul manages himself as a brand. Using his personal handle "CP3," Paul engages with millions of followers across multiple social media accounts.
"One of the biggest things I learned early in my career was 'what you're going to stand for?'" Paul said. "I have a CP3 logo. When you see that logo, it needs to mean something to you about me, my family and what I stand for. For me my brand is about family, it's about loyalty, and it's about hard work, too. One of the most important things about my brand is giving back and helping others. It's all about paying it forward and teaching somebody what you know, giving somebody that knowledge."
Bay asked how Paul uses social media to communicate with different sets of audiences from friends and family to his fans and the public.
"I try to have a good balance of what's for my personal life, what's for nobody, and what's for everybody else," Paul said. "It's also just being as authentic as possible. I try to give people insight on me being a basketball player, but also insight into me being a dad, me being a husband, whatever it may be. Just trying to keep it as organic as possible."
The conversation also touched on last year's ESPY awards, where Paul and fellow NBA players Carmelo Anthony, Dwyane Wade and LeBron James spoke out forcefully in the wake of a number of shootings of African Americans by police.
"It was very meaningful what we said and what we did," Paul said. "But what we concentrated on more after that was: Then what? It was one of those things that 'was out of sight, out of mind.' The four of us continue to do different things to help the cause."
Paul then turned to the audience to answer questions from the assembled student journalists.
Terrance Davis (M.S. Journalism '17) asked about Paul's role as the president of the National Basketball Player's Association, and how he has developed as a leader during his tenure.
"One of the things I've learned in that position is that you're only good as the people around you, " Paul said. "When it comes to leadership, there's no 'I' in team."
Conor McGlynn (B.A. Broadcast and Digital Journalism '17) asked how Paul balances being outspoken about issues with promoting himself as a brand.
"I think another word I should use is 'authentic'. You always have to do your research and know what you're talking about," Paul said. "The balance for me is the family aspect, and not taking yourself too seriously. I try to do as many normal things as possible. Every day I have a routine: I wake up, I take my son to school, I go to the gym, take out the trash. That stuff keeps you balanced."
Juana Lopez (M.S. Journalism '17) asked if Paul had any underlying message or philosophy that he wanted to convey.
"One of the biggest pieces of advice that I got from Michael Jordan was that every time he played, he thought about the person in the arena watching them play for the first time. It's crazy when you think about it. You can take everybody for granted. He played so hard every night, because there may be somebody at that game that night, who have never seen them play. You want that person to go home and be, 'I'm so glad I got a chance to see them play.'"

Home / Blog / Europe / What are the Best Ways to get Around Europe?
Are you planning a trip to Europe and wondering what's the best way to get around? The good news is there are many options to country hop across the European continent that will suit any budget.
Check out Cover-More's travel tips for Europe and the UK here.
How Do I Explore Europe By Bus?
The main bus company servicing Europe is FlixBus.

The following countries are best travelled by bus as passenger trains are non-existent or not efficient: Bulgaria, Bosnia and Hercegovina, Macedonia, Kosovo, Albania, Croatia, Montenegro and Serbia.
In the Baltic countries of Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia, bus is also the most efficient way to get between these countries. Lux Express and EuroLines service this region. You can buy tickets online or at the bus station.

How Do I Use Trains In Europe?
Exploring Europe by train is a great way to see the continent but it can be a lot more expensive than bus – sometimes more than three times!
While a Eurail or Interail Pass can limit some of the cost, it only works out cost effective if you plan to visit many major cities across Europe – and is best for people with a short timeframe.
The Eurail pass is for non-European Union citizens, while the Interail pass is for European Union citizens.
Be aware that some trains may require reservations – and a fee may be involved. For more information on how the train pass works, head to the Eurail site.
In some countries however, local trains are the best way to get to smaller towns outside the major cities. For instance, Italy has a great regional train service that works well to get to smaller towns such as reaching Siena and San Gimignano from Florence.
Cities and towns in Romania are also well connected by town such as Bucharest to Brasov, and the same applies to get to regional areas from Prague, Czechia.
Hungary also has a good train service that provides links with Romania and Serbia.
Trains can be very expensive in Western European countries such as Germany, Switzerland, France, Netherlands – particularly if you take the high-speed trains.

Each destination has a Busabout service come through every second day.
You can buy passes starting from three stops to 15 stops, or even buy an unlimited pass.
It's not the cheapest way to travel around Europe but if you want to avoid the hassle of figuring out your own transport, then this might the option for you.
Do you want to avoid the crowds in Europe during the summer? Then explore these European cities in winter!
How Do I Use BlaBlaCar In Europe?
BlaBlaCar is a carpooling service that operates across more than 10 countries in Europe.
You can search via the BlaBlaCar website to see if anyone is going to the destination you want from your current location.
You can then buy a seat and then you meet them at the designated meeting point, which will be somewhere near their starting point.
For example, someone might post they are driving from Marseille to Avignon in France leaving at 8am on a Thursday.
There is quite a difference between Eastern and Western Europe. Find out which one suits your holiday plans best.
Which Airlines Can I fly With In Europe?
If you need to travel a long distance across Europe, then going by air might be a good option.
There are dozens of budget airlines operating in Europe. These include Ryanair, EasyJet, Norwegian Air, Wizz Air, Wow Air and Pegasus Airlines.
These budget airlines will often charge you to check in a bag, so make sure you add it on if you need it and check the weight limit. Many budget airlines allow a check in bag up to 20kg only.
If you're not keen on a budget airline, other popular airlines servicing Europe are Iceland Air, Turkish Airlines and SAS.
Check out flight search engines such as Google Flights, Skyscanner and Kayak to find flights.
There you have it – some of the best ways to get around Europe! Whether by bus, trains, cars or planes, there are so many options to help you get from A to B. Don't forget to enjoy the journey and not just the destination, as there are lots of scenic routes to look at.

Kanja Records is sincerely honored to present its fourth vinyl release, based on a concept called Sunday Mornings. With this series of releases we will focus on that warm up, early morning, after party gems and slowly fading away from peak time music. Our philosophy behind this concept is that the focus goes to the tracks being timeless, and music that you can listen to in every time of day and night. Music that offers a vast variety, but in the end coming together in that sweet and warm morning glory.
Saturday Dive by Giash was definitely our first pick for the first track on this release. We have been following this amazing producer for some time and we are really glad to have him on our label.
Klavier by Gri perfectly sits beside our opening track. With smooth atmospheres and laid back drums it really gives that calm feel and is perfect for those early morning sets.
Stratocumuli by Oneee stands strongly on our b side, with a bit more freakish vibe, but nicely rounded up by dreamy pads and spacey sounds.

Gorgeous art and a wonderful idea for a game. Well done!
art is really great! enjoyed the concept.. liked how you dealt with the theme. nice game!
I don't gnome how you did it, but I do gnome you should be proud of what you've done.
Good idea, and great art work. The controls were a little floaty but other than that it was a good game for a weekend of work!
I like the art and ambience you created, very well done. I kinda wish it went a bit faster, movement-wise. I think the need to be "patient" and wait for the correct season to come around was a cool game mechanic. Nice.
hey thanks for the comment on our game's page awesomesauce =).. glad you enjoyed it! especially since i really liked your game's 10 sec element of the seasons changing.. thought it was one of the best ideas i've seen and done really well!
Lovely concept of changing seasons and I liked the way it tied into the game's mechanic. Nice clean art style too.
Excellent art and history. The controls are a little hard, despite that, nice game!
The changing seasons concept is a great use of the theme!
Beautiful music to accompany the player through the game.
I love how polished the menu and the HUD look! Plus the idea of seasons changing every 10 seconds is brilliant. It leaves open a lot of platforming possibilities. Great job on the concept! I found the movement of the character a bit too sluggish though, especially when he's jumping. It'd be great if you fix that up.
Beauty and clean graphics! The seasons system is awsome! The only thing you can change, is the char. speed, its kinda slow! Nice game, congrats!
wow, nice graphics and music, very cute main hero and very lovely atmosphere. Great job, awesomesauce!


The most basic fundamental of expert marketing services may be trust. In what capacity would you be able to anticipate that potential customers will hold you in the event that they have no conviction with you? You can't.
Then again, the expert marketing services are accomplishing the status of trusted adviser or analyst, that mysterious point seeing someone your customer intellectually turns to you for counsel on issues that lie, even remotely, in your domain of aptitude. Clearly, you need to prove yourself dependable. Anyway before that can happen, you first need to get the customers. Generally, that is begun with creating a relationship.
When you discuss a relationship, most people think face to face communication. Also for the majority of mankind's history that is the way connections have been created. In the realm of expert services, business development has interpreted into incalculable systems administration occasions, nonprofit memberships, industry exchange affiliation conferences and obviously, golf trips as well.
Nature starts things out. From that point a warm individual relationship creates alongside presentation to your proficient ability. The majority of that in the end prompts trust. What's more just from that point does the business relationship create. This time tested equation has worked for a long time. Regardless it lives up to expectations today. Be that as it may this methodology has a couple of issues.
First, it's labor intensive and slow process. Creating individual relationship requires some time. Prepare to leave gatherings, meetings, organizing gatherings and other eye to eye strategies require critical speculations of time from senior individuals. Subsequently, these exercises are exceptionally lavish, and there is a breaking point to the amount of it any one individual can do.
Second, face to face interaction and customer advancement could be hit and miss. You may be at the right systems administration occasion; however you may not happen to run into the one individual who needs your administration. Business development services can along these lines appear correlated and irregular.
At last, it has a tendency to be centered provincially. Granted, you can go to national and global meetings, however most systems administration has an unequivocally neighborhood introduction.
Then, a powerful option to the conventional methodology to creating proficient business services has developed. Consider it an online way to trust.
A business is stumble upon another test that interior assets alone can't succeed. Maybe it another regulation or a need to enhance benefit in the organization. To increase some viewpoint on the issue, an official at the organization opens their portable computer, kindles Google, and sorts in some pursuit terms.
As they skim the results, their eye gets an outline that clarifies the issue in plain dialect and lays out option approaches. The more this official explores, more they closes the organization needs to hold an adviser to help it handle the issue.
Next, they start to accumulate a rundown of potential masters. They are attracted quickly to the individual who composed the review article; the writer unmistakably knows their stuff and appears to have a decent handle of the issues included. Then they scan for advisers who work in the issue confronting their organization.
The official does much of this seeking in Google; however they additionally ask on an online meeting and messages some of their industry contacts.
The official is enjoyably astonished to see a well known name show up a few times in the reactions the writer of the first online article they read on the subject. Obviously this individual is a reliable source who comprehends their difficulties. They put this master at the highest priority on their rundown of advisers to contact.
How Well Does Online Marketing Work?
The way well does it works?
Is internet promoting a suitable option for your expert business services?
Will it help you develop quicker or be more beneficial?
All things considered, there is by all accounts an unending stream of conclusion around subjects, for example, social networking, SEO strategies, and other internet advertising tools. Anyway there's been moderately minimal hard confirmation to settle on a really educated choice. High-development organizations are characterized in the study as those developing at least 20% for every year in excess for further successive years.

Contemporary Celebrities: Nikola Tesla
by Julian Hawthorne
Current Literature
Tesla has seemed to be under a cloud of late, but in the Philadelphia North American he is brought out once more, with his characteristics as a man, by Julian Hawthorne:
Tesla, the papers say, has left his eyrie on the flank of Pike's Peak in Colorado, and is on his way East with a new wireless telegraphy invention in his pocket. It is hard to realize how much the contents of this man's mind may mean for the world. I met him a few years ago in a famous but now obsolete cafe, near Madison Square, in New York, and we dined together there. I saw a tall, slender young man, with long arms and fingers, whose rather languid movements veiled extraordinary muscular power. His face was oval, broad at the temples and strong at the lips and chin; with long eyes, whose lids were seldom fully lifted, as if he were in a waking dream, seeing visions which were not revealed to the generality. He had a slow smile, as if awakening to actualities, and finding a humorous quality in them. Withal, he manifested a courtesy and amiability which were almost feminine, and beneath all were the simplicity and integrity of a child.
Tesla is, I believe, a Herzegovinian. The Greek type prevails in him. He has abundant wavy brown hair, blue eyes and a fair skin. He was a trifle shy at first; or perhaps it was merely that he did not at once arrive from the regions in which his mind is wont to reside, and adjust himself to the requirements of his actual environment. But his social instincts were of the royal order; as the host of the occasion, he wished that his guest should be entertained as became the hospitality of princes. There was a reminiscence of the Oriental about it; and if the scene had been a tent in the desert, one would soon have imagined it a palace. But oh, how far it was from the oppressiveness which renders some of the best-intended courtesies a burden!
To be with Tesla is to enter a domain of freedom even more free than solitude, because the horizon enlarges so. His mind cast out genial rays that illuminated distances, and made the great and marvelous seem near and beautifully familiar. You have felt the power of good music to make you seem more than yourself; and similar was the influence of this ingenuous but profound student. My own deficiency in the technicalities of science seemed to offer no impediment to our intercourse; partly because, like other men of really sound attainments, he was easily able to make intelligible to my untrained comprehension the spiritual essence of his own speculations and discoveries; and partly because he turned out to be quite as much at home in my own little specialties as I was.
He knew all English poetry, much of it by heart; nor was he less familiar with the literature of Germany and France, not to speak of more recondite branches of literary culture in which I was not proficient. He knew the art of ancient and modern times, and had thoughts on the subject that were not merely critical, but creative. With music he stood on the terms of a musician; and one can imagine the kind of transcendental symphony that a mind of his calibre and sympathies might compose. Meanwhile, he was one of the first, if not the foremost, scientific investigators of his epoch, which is the most scientific in human history; and when it was question of the vintage of a wine, or the condition and cooking of an ortolan, he knew that, too, though his own eating and drinking were of the most abstemious order.
The total impression which I derived from his manifestations was not, however, of an intelligence divided off into chambers, from one or another of which the treasures were brought forth as needed; but it seemed to be always the same entire and perfect chrysolite of intellectual ability, directed this way or that, focused far or near, as occasion served. Naturally it was toward the possibilities of the future in the way of ascertaining and controlling natural laws that I was most solicitous to direct the conversation. Tesla is the most modest of men, but also one of the most generously communicative when his confidence is secured; and I drew from him the wonderful story of his early experiences, his student days in a great European university — which I will not repeat here, not being authorized to do so.
Then he went on to outline the nature and expected outcome of some of his dealings with electricity and other obscure forces of nature. As he spoke, mankind seemed to arise a Titan, and grasp the secrets of the skies. I saw a coming time when the race would no longer be forced to labor for the means of livelihood, when the terms rich and poor would no longer mean difference of material condition, but of spiritual capacity and ambition; a time when intercommunication all over the earth should be immediate and universal, and even when knowledge should be derived from sources now hardly imagined.

Curious about all of the awesome ladies involved in our program? Mountain Mentors are passionate and experience women who are interested in sharing their expertise with other aspiring female mountain athletes. Mentors are local shredders, moms, guides, outdoor educators, professional athletes, students, brand reps, and everything in between, each with a unique story to share.
Read on to find out about Hannah Kitchin's transformation from a 12 year old knuckle dragger to a full fledged backcountry ski mentor!
Tell us a little bit about you and why you became interested in skiing 'off piste'?
I am Australian and actually started out snowboarding when I was 12 years old. I quickly fell in love with the snow and the mountains and convinced my family to follow the snow every year. As my extended family were predominantly skiers, I quickly transitioned. Before my skill level had really progressed my sister and I would always adventure into the trees and look for off piste runs. When I moved to Whistler 4 years ago my passion for exploration grew even more! Off piste skiing is where the real fun begins!
How did you hear about mountain mentors?
I heard about mountain mentors through a friend and thought it sounded like an amazing program.
My most favourite and most incredible run of my life was skiing the NE face of Mt Pattison in perfect powder conditions.
My new 4FRNT col skis. They only just arrived in January! I am so excited to mount some Fritschi Vipec tech bindings on them! My first real light weight touring set up.
What do you know now that you wish someone had taught you?
That you need to follow your gut feeling even if that is different to what your group might decide. Everyone has a different level of risk tolerance and you need to stay true to that in the backcountry.
Favourite sound to holler when sending?
YIEW!!! I say it way too much.
A heartfelt thanks for your volunteered time, and for all you do for our mountain community, Hannah!

Q: Laravel can't find php extension ssh2_connect() I'm having some problems with my Laravel app. I'm trying to run function ssh2_connect(), but every time it returns:

Call to undefined function App\Git\ssh2_connect()

I tried to run that function outside Laravel project in my localhost /htdocs folder, and it is working fine.
Any ideas how to solve that? By the way, every ssh library seams to have some problems on Laravel.
Here is the example:
$connection = ssh2_connect('YOUR IP HERE', 22);
if( !ssh2_auth_password($connection, 'root', 'PASSWORD') ) {
  echo "Authorization failed !";
}

A: The error message status that it cannot find the ssh2_connect() function in the current namespace, which indicates that the function doesn't exist in the global scope either.
The ssh2_* functions needs to be installed as an extension in your PHP environment.

Entrepreneur Kim Kardashian West flexed her fashion muscles this year, with the launch of her shapewear label Skims. The brand's launch was originally marred in controversy when it was unveiled in June under the name Kimono, sparking accusations of cultural appropriation. The star relaunched the re-named label in September, debuting with a selection of shapewear and intimates styles, and adding loungewear in October.
Hollywood star Will Smith delighted fans of his 1990s sitcom "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" in October, when he unveiled a fashion line called Bel-Air Athletics.

Q: iText divide cell horizontal I've been trying to split a cell horizontal into two cells (1 column, 2 rows). Alternative it's also okay to add a horizontal separator in a cell. It should look like in the picture below.

How can I implement this with iText 7 in Java?

A: As already mentioned in a comment, the more appropriate way to construct such a table is to create the large cells by means of row spans and have the small cells naturally instead of trying to create the small cells by individually partitioning large cells.
This can be done like this:
try (   PdfWriter writer = new PdfWriter(RESULT_STREAM_OR_FILE);
        PdfDocument pdfDocument = new PdfDocument(writer);
        Document doc = new Document(pdfDocument)   )
{
    Table table = new Table(new float[] {30, 30, 30, 30, 30, 30, 30, 30, 30});

    for (int i = 0; i < 4; i++) {
        table.addCell(new Cell(2, 1).add(new Paragraph("Text")));
        table.addCell(new Cell(2, 1).add(new Paragraph("Text")));
        table.addCell(new Cell().setHeight(15));
        table.addCell(new Cell(2, 1).add(new Paragraph("Text")));
        table.addCell(new Cell().setHeight(15));
        table.addCell(new Cell(2, 1).add(new Paragraph("Text")));
        table.addCell(new Cell().setHeight(15));
        table.addCell(new Cell(2, 1).add(new Paragraph("Text")));
        table.addCell(new Cell().setHeight(15));

        table.addCell(new Cell().setHeight(15));
        table.addCell(new Cell().setHeight(15));
        table.addCell(new Cell().setHeight(15));
        table.addCell(new Cell().setHeight(15));
    }

    doc.add(table);
    doc.close();

Land capability is one aspect of land classification. For the determination of land capability, the usefulness of land for agriculture, forest and tourism is assessed solely on the basis of physical environmental factors.
In other words, in land capability classification, the texture, structure of soil, aspect of slope, terrain, temperature, rainfall, runoff and water availability are taken into consideration. In this classification, there is, however, heavy reliance on soil survey results. Moreover, the present farm productivity or actual land use are ignored.
As a matter of fact, the loamy soil differs from the regur (black earth) soil and the lateritic soil is different from the red soil. These soils are suitable for the cultivation of different crops. For example, loamy soil is ideally suited for the cultivation of rice, wheat, sugarcane, jute, pulses, gram and oilseeds, while cotton performs well in the black earth soil.
The cultivation of saffron is possible only in the karewalands, while bajra (bulrush millet) grow well in the sandy soil. Thus, the land capability of a soil has certain physical properties which help in getting better agricultural returns of certain crops.
The assessment system devised by the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization (CSIRO) for use in Australia has been widely used elsewhere. Land capability is usually presented cartographically either by type of terrain or by some judgment of potential agricultural productivity. Limited attempts have been made to produce land capability assessment for recreational land use.
In India, the primary aim of soil survey was to achieve land capability classification. The All India Soil and Land Use Survey Organization, in 1960, have attempted such a classification. Subsequently, inadequacies in the Soil Survey Manual were removed and the revised Manual was published in 1970.
Class I: Very good cultivable land with no specific difficulty in farming.
Class II: Good cultivable land which needs protection from erosion or floods, drainage improvement and conservation of irrigation water.
Class III: Moderately good cultivable land where special attention has to be paid to erosional control, conservation of irrigation water, intensive drainage and protection from floods.
Class IV: Fairly good land suited for occasional or limited cultivation, needs intensive erosional control, intensive drainage and very intensive treatment to overcome soil limitations.
Class V: Very well suited for grazing but not for arable farming, needs protection from gullying.
Class VI: Well suited for grazing or forestry but not for arable farming.
Class VII: Fairly well suited for grazing or forestry but not for arable farming.
Class VIII: Suited only for wildlife, recreational facilities and protection of water supplies.


We are excited about our 117th annual Installation and Awards Dinner that will be held on February 2, 2019 at the Miners Foundry. We are seeking help to continue the community awards program which is where we recognize deserving people who have volunteered their time, are outstanding in the visual and performing arts and also those who build or remodel buildings in Nevada City that contribute to the ambiance of our charming town.
One of our creative ideas to fund the awards and dinners for these deserving folks is to conduct a raffle and silent auction, which will offer the chance to win one of many fabulous prizes and generate some money to recognize these outstanding citizens.
We are looking for prizes, donations, gift certificates or other creative items with a value of at least $25.
All donors will be recognized in the program, announced by the MC as the gift is chosen during the raffle/silent auction and promoted prior to the event on local radio stations and newspapers.
To ensure maximum promotional consideration, contributions must be received in the Chamber office by January 10th. Please drop your contributions off at the Chamber during regular business hours, Mon-Fri 9am-5pm or mail to 132 Main Street, Nevada City, CA 95959.
Thank you for your continued support of your Chamber of Commerce, which continues our support of you!

Drew McOnie
5 – 12 August 2020
Jekyll and Hyde Credit: Manuel Harlan
Appropriately, for a show in which the protagonist has a split personality, Drew McOnie's adaptation of Jekyll and Hyde shows a wide range of influences and styles.
The story, set in the late 1950s/ early 1960s, owes as much to the musical The Little Shop of Horrors as to the original tale by Robert Louis Stevenson. Rather than a scientist obsessed by the balance between good and evil, Dr Jekyll (Daniel Collins) is a timid florist who discovers his own blood is the ingredient needed to make a serum prompting flowers into bloom. The scent of the flowers is possibly addictive and also has an unexpected effect on Dr Jekyll, transforming the shy wallflower into Mr Hyde (Tim Hodges). Hyde is confident and unafraid of conflict which puts in danger Dahlia (Rachel Muldoon) who has attracted the attention of Dr Jekyll but is currently in a relationship with an aggressive boyfriend.
Grant Olding's score reflects the period with cool, traditional jazz and early rock 'n' roll. The introduction of Mr Hyde, however, features a blast of distorted electric guitar chords which would become commonplace later in the 1960s. Hyde, therefore, prompts fear and attracts interest in equal measure not just as a monstrous presence but also as a representative of change and vision of the future. As a character, however, Hyde is a throwback to cavemen times—he struts aggressively around the stage but has little interest in seduction or even sex—his brutal encounters all seem to end in violence rather than pleasure.
Drew McOnie's choreography encompasses a wide range of styles, some of which may seem out of place in a horror story. The courtship between Jekyll and Dahlia is initially staged as a classic Hollywood musical with light, breezy dance steps. There is the sense of a loss of innocence moving to full-on corruption. The dance moves become more sensuous with couples entwined and the final scene concludes with full grisly horror of corpses rising from the tomb to dance and a murderer dancing with the body of his victim.
Daniel Collins shows the full extent of Dr Jekyll's corruption. Initially, he is an awkward but charming character and his scenes as a harassed florist trying to cope with the unexpected demand for his flowers are genuinely funny. However, Collins makes clear the real danger for Dr Jekyll is not transformation into Mr Hyde but rather his own descent into immorality.
Jekyll and Hyde is unlikely to please everyone—too irreverent for purists and too light-hearted to satisfy horror fans. Yet concentrating on the damnation of an individual, rather than analysis of abstract concepts like good and evil, makes a compelling production performed with rare enthusiasm.

The present study makes use of microphonic and accelerometric measurement techniques to identify the cause of an anomalous behavior of the driveline of a cavitation tunnel for marine propellers. Such a testing facility makes possible the fluodynamic and acoustic characterization of in scale models of naval propellers. To get significant data it is mandatory for the acquisitions that the test facility operates in optimal conditions, limiting as much as possible any type of emission of noise not associated to the propeller under test. Recently, noise originating from the driveline requested an investigation on its causes to locate the elements constituting its source. To identify and to characterize the failure, both microphonic and accelerometric measurements were performed. With reference to the first typology of measurements, an acoustic mapping in three dimensions was adopted, making possible to locate the mostly critical driveline zones and to individuate the possible components having an anomalous operation present in the driveline. In addition, in the same time accelerometric measurements have been done to acquire structural information on the driveline itself. The correlation between the vibrational data and the acoustic ones made possible to obtain additional elements useful to complete the diagnostic study on the system.
