North Park business owners and locals will unite Thursday night – glowing cell phones in hand – in support of the small businesses that make up San Diego's ultra-hip neighborhood, which like all communities, continues its recovery from the impact of the pandemic.
At sunset, about 7:45 p.m., North Park Main Street will host "Lights on North Park," a ceremony in support of the 1,000 restaurants, retail shops and other small businesses in the community. The group plans to gather in the heart of North Park – at 30th Street and University Avenue, just steps from the North Park sign – and raise their lit-up cellphones in a show of solidarity.
Organizers will also hand out ribbons as a symbol of the community's ongoing support for the small businesses that make North Park, well, North Park.
The neighborhood in San Diego's Uptown area has long been a hub for craft beer, buzzy restaurants and small, local retailers.

And, although the coronavirus pandemic has certainly hit the community, nearly a dozen new small businesses are set to open there in the coming months, hopefully fueling the recovery process. New additions will include the French eatery Patisserie Melanie, Rouleur Brewing, and Chop Suey Social Club, to name a few.
Thursday's celebration starts right after the weekly North Park Farmers Market and will also include live art and music – bringing those vibes of an actual small event (can we even remember what that is?).

Trump Set to Face Latino Protests in Chicago
March 8, 2016 By Latinovations Staff
Donald Trump is set to appear at the University of Illinois Chicago on Friday and the news of his appearance has been met with opposition from the university's staff and students, along with leaders of Chicago's Latino community. The U.S. Census states that 28.9 percent of Chicago's residents identify as Hispanic.
In order to show solidarity and express their disapproval towards Trump's candidacy, the leaders are requesting that constituents rally together outside the UIC Pavilion doors on Friday. "Chicago has an incredibly proud tradition of being inclusive, of bringing people together," said the city's Rep. Luis Gutierrez, "And Mr. Trump has the tradition of division, of hatred, of bigotry, of prejudice. We are asking all of Chicago to stand up."
In fear of the rally turning violent, one student leader at ICU, Jorge Mena, has received 40,000 signatures on petition asking how security is going to be handled at the rally and where the funds to pay for the security will come from. Other students and faculty of UIC with the same concerns have penned a letter asking for Trump's rally to be cancelled.
"We are…concerned for the safety of the diverse staff and team of student employees who work at the UIC Pavilion," says the letter. The letter also quotes Mena's petition which states, "In any other instance, if known white supremacists and hate groups with a pattern of violence were found out to be planning to rally on campus, the university would likely (or hopefully) be implementing support and safety plans for students. But in this instance, it's signing rental agreements."
Fearing violence, as well, the community leaders have asked for the protesters not to enter the rally but to instead to gather in the streets. Rep. Gutierrez hopes that the protest will reign in support from the Muslim, LGBTQ, and other minority communities along with those in support of women's rights. In a letter to the campus, UIC Chancellor Michael D. Amiridis stated that the university is not endorsing any candidate but rather is simply allowing the space to be rented.

Tentel broadband spins up to record growth with 100 new customers a day
Tom Rodgers Wednesday, 29 March, 2017
Scottish ISP TenTel broadband has reported record growth figures by signing up more than 100 new customers a day.
The company says it enjoyed its most successful month in October 2016 when it processed 2,000 orders.
The Edingburgh-based provider, founded in 2013, has added 30-day and six-month rolling contracts to its stable of offers.
It now employs more than 80 people and expects to add an extra 10 staff by December 2017.
What can I get with Tentel broadband?
Tentel now provides broadband, phone and TV packages to over 10,000 UK customers.
It offers three basic broadband speeds, up to 17Mbps, up to 38Mbps and up to 76Mpbs.
Prices range from £19 a month for Hello Broadband 5GB, on a six-month contract with 5GB data allowance and download speeds up to 17Mbps, to its most expensive package, the £32 a month Fibre Max Unlimited, on a 12-month contract with unlimited data and up to 76Mbps downloads.
More: The Top 5 no-contract broadband deals in March 2017
Tentel was featured in BroadbandDeals.co.uk's recent round-up, topping the charts for providing the best no-contract broadband for students.
However, it faces stronger competition going into the second half of 2017, as more providers catch on to the idea of flexible no-contract broadband.
Read: Virgin Media breaks rank to offer one-month broadband deals
Robert McKechnie, Tentel managing director, said: "The last 12 months have seen fantastic growth for TenTel and our record figures are testament to this.
"We have established ourselves as one of the fastest-growing independent internet service providers in the UK, with more than 10 percent revenue growth month-on-month.
"We are seeing growing demand for short-term broadband options as well as telephone contracts that don't tie you into lengthy contracts or incur big connection charges."
Tentel's management team has set a further target of signing up an extra 20,000 customers by July 2017.

I created this to hold myself accountable for creating, finishing, and sharing words, art, and ideas. I've struggled with depression like many and it's been difficult for me to find purpose and motivation for my creativity. I'm hoping this will be a tool to nurture my process and help me heal.

I've worn the same running shoe for a few years and they've served me well, but out of necessity, I decided to try another shoe and I've officially converted.
For workout clothes and fitness gear, I hands down go with Under Armour. I enjoy supporting the local brand and, frankly, I love their apparel. But their shoes have been another story. Short of the SpeedForm StudioLux, that I wear to the studio or when traveling, I found that there wasn't a lot of support in the training and running shoes. Until now.
I've been in Baltimore for an unscheduled and unplanned week and without workout clothes. The Baltimore Under Armour Brand store is close by so I went in to grab a few things to last me the week.
Full disclosure - I've worn Nike running shoes for years. As I get older, I wanted something to support my feet, knees and hips and those were the ones that seemed best suited for the job. I asked the shoe specialist at UA which shoe was most like the one I had run in for years. They steered me towards a stylish shoe and home with me they went.
Bottom line: I love them. The Women's UA Speedform® Fortis Running Shoe is my new 'go to' for running (I have the black pair). I wore them around for a day to break them in and then ran in them the next. They have great arch support, cushion in the ball of the foot and don't make my foot go numb. (Have you ever had this happen? Not cool.) If you've been hesitant to give UA fitness shoes a try, fear no more. They've worked out the kinks and broken out of the uncomfortable footwear stage.

Lauding Congress over 1971 war, Shiv Sena takes dig at BJP
Mumbai, Dec 18 (PTI) The Shiv Sena on Friday took a veiled dig at the BJP,saying those constantly questioning contribution of the Congress to the nation building should go through historic events of the 1971 war which saw the break- up of Pakistan and creation of Bangladesh.
An editorial in Sena mouthpiece 'Saamana' said in present times Chinese and Pakistani forces are creating disturbances on borders with India.
'China is not withdrawing from Ladakh, while Pakistan continues to violate the ceasefire along the Line of Control (LoC) in Jammu and Kashmir. Fifty years ago, Pakistan was taught a lesson.
'What about today? It is now more than a year since Article 370 was repealed, but there is no peace in Jammu and Kashmir,' said the Marathi daily.
The editorial said the 1971 war a thrilling and inspirational event.
'This year is the golden jubilee (of India's win over Pakistan) and time to remember the historic events of Indira Gandhi's diplomacy and her strategic decisions that led to defeat of Pakistanbefore America's fleet reached for its help,' said the party, an ally of the Congress in Maharashtra.
'The Indian Army, under the leadership of Field Marshal Sam Manekshaw,attacked Pakistan forces and made them to surrender in 13 days,' the editorial said.
'What has the Congress done in 70 years is a childish question asked on WhatsApp University. These people should go through the history of the 1971 war,' said the publication, taking a veiled dig at the BJP, a former Sena ally.
The paper said it is true that despite being taught lessons in the past, Pakistan has refused to learn from them.
'In 2020, Pakistan has violated ceasefire at the LOC 4,052 times. Instead of asking what the Congress has done, it is better to see what can be done of stop Chinese incursion in Ladakh and Pakistan's ceasefire violations,' it said. PTI MR RSY RSY

Sprout Baby Foods Heavy Metal Content California Class Action
Sprout Foods, Inc. makes baby food under the Sprout Organic brand. It is one of the three baby food makers that did not cooperate with the Subcommittee on Economic and Consumer Policy, Committee on Oversight and Reform in the US House of Representatives in their investigation of heavy metals in US baby foods. The complaint alleges that Sprout has a "negligent, reckless, and/or intentional practice of misrepresenting and failing to fully disclose the presence of dangerous substances in its baby foods."
The class for this action is all consumers living in California who bought Sprout Organic baby foods, between April 1, 2017 and the entry of final judgement in this case.
The complaint opens with a quote from the Subcommittee, which put out the baby food report: "Baby food manufacturers hold a special position of public trust. Consumers believe that they would not sell products that are unsafe." Unfortunately, the complaint quotes the Subcommittee as saying that "commercial baby foods are tainted with significant levels of toxic heavy metals, including arsenic, lead, cadmium, and mercury."
While the Subcommittee was unable to get Sprout's internal information on its baby foods, the Subcommittee stated that "Sprout's evasion is concerning, as even limited independent testing has revealed the presence of toxic heavy metals in its baby food." The report that it issued on February 4, 2021 was called, "Baby Foods Are Tainted with Dangerous Levels of Arsenic, Lead, Cadmium, and Mercury."
Toxic heavy metals, the complaint says, have been shown to cause cognitive decline and interfere with cognitive development in children. It quotes the report as saying that exposure to heavy metals can lead to "diminished future economic productivity, and increased risk of future criminal and antisocial behavior in children."
The complaint also claims, "The risk from heavy metals grows over time as they accumulate in the kidneys and other internal organs." It alleges that ingesting such toxins regularly may increase the risk of bladder, lung, and skin cancer, cognitive and reproductive problems, and Type 2 diabetes, among other things.
The complaint claims that Sprout products were among those tested by Consumer Reports (CR) for cadmium, lead, mercury, and inorganic arsenic. The complaint says, "The results were troubling. Every product tested by CR had measurable levels of at least one of the following heavy metals: cadmium, inorganic arsenic, or lead. Moreover, about two-third[s] (68%) had 'worrisome' and 'concerning' levels of at least one heavy metal. Fifteen of the foods tested would pose potential health risks to children who regularly eat just one serving or less per day."
The complaint alleges that Sprout "knew or should have known that its baby foods contain significant levels of toxic heavy metals, including arsenic, lead, cadmium, and mercury."
This is despite the fact, the complaint says, that Sprout's marketing statements, which "explicitly and implicitly convey that [Sprout's] organic baby foods are healthy for consumption by babies, and superior to other manufacturers' baby foods."

Morton's concern that enough isn't being done to protect wild salmon stocks is in line with concerns from some coastal First Nations, which in August occupied two fish farms on the Central Coast over their opposition to open-pen farms.* In early December, environmental group Pacific Wild released footage showing clouds of blood emanating from fish plants on Vancouver Island; subsequent testing revealed that that blood, too, contained the virus and other parasites.
The release says it is impossible to sample fish in a supermarket and make claims about the exposure of wild salmon to a pathogen.
The presence of PRV has been linked to HSMI in farmed fish in Norway where the number of HSMI infected salmon farms rose to 181 by 2014. The presence of HSMI in Norway has caused fatalities in farmed fish according to company Marine Harvest.
But that same causal connection has not been proven in B.C. or replicated in laboratory settings, according to the industry association.
Morton said that, after the virus was first identified in Norwegian fish farms in 1999 it moved rapidly through the industry, appearing in the United Kingdom, Ireland and Chile. Most salmon-farming companies operating in B.C. are Norwegian-owned and previous research found the strain of PRV identified in her study originated in Norway, she said.
"This work is a strong indicator that [federal] management of salmon farms is not consistent with law, the precautionary principle or the mandate handed down by the Prime Minister of Canada that [the Department of Fisheries and Oceans] use science to manage fish stocks," Morton told DeSmog Canada.
Morton and Ecojustice are currently arguing in Federal Court that the government is acting illegally by issuing licences allowing juvenile farmed salmon to be put into ocean pens without testing for the virus as transferring diseased fish into wild fish habitat contravenes the Fisheries Act.
Salmon-farming companies Marine Harvest and Cermaq have joined DFO in contesting the lawsuit and claim their businesses would fail if the court says they cannot put infected fish in the ocean.
* Correction Dec. 15, 2017: Due to an editor's error a previous version of this article stated First Nations occupied B.C. fish farms in October. They in fact began their occupation in August.

After a few weeks of intense work and the help of the Baxter Springs community, Joplin city, and some volunteers, we were able to complete all of the work we set out to do! Of the 75 homes that were destroyed in the recent tornadoes, Poured Out had the opportunity to demolish and clean up nearly half of those deemed unlivable or condemned. We are grateful for the opportunity to serve in Kansas, and grateful for your willingness to come along! At this point, Poured Out has no further work at this location. We want to encourage you to keep an eye on our Facebook Page as well as our Website throughout the upcoming months, as storm season has only just begun.
Poured Out is Issuing The $1,000 Homeowner Challenge!
Sometimes storms considered to be "smaller" don't get much media coverage, and this is certainly the case for the people of Baxter Springs and Quapaw. The lack of awareness, however doesn't make the destruction and need any less real. Today, we need help from individuals, organizations, churches, and anyone who feels called to answer the needs of these storm victims! Renting an excavator and fueling three machines a day, it costs about $1,000 to help give one family a new beginning. With that $1,000, machinery will be running, volunteers will be raking and cleaning, and uninsured victims of this storm will have clear lots and a new start.
Check Out Paul Pott's Story. He is one of the many homeowners who need help from people like you!

A National Weather Service meteorologist says the tornado that destroyed more than 100 homes and businesses and hurt 25 people in Baxter Springs, Kan., dropped so quickly that sirens were activated only a minute or two before the twister hit.
Meteorologist Bill Davis in Springfield, Mo., says the same thing happened in Quapaw, Okla., where at least one person was killed late Sunday afternoon. Davis called it a worst-case scenario in which a tornado forms right in a populated area. He says the E-F2 tornado that hit Baxter Springs spun up so fast that the weather service had barely gotten a tornado warning out when it struck.
Less than two hours before the tornado hit Arkansas, a twister hit the small town of Quapaw in Oklahoma, killing at least one person. Ottawa County Emergency Management director Joe Dan Morgan said Quapaw, which has a population of about 900, was badly damaged by the tornado.
For an example of the work we do please visit our page and watch the video following the tornado in Moore, Oklahoma earlier in 2013.

GHOST ARRESTED FOR THEFT AND ATTEMPED PURSE SNATCHING
Crimes committed in Angie led to the September 1 arrest of a Bogalusa resident.
The saga began on August 29 when a female shopper at an Angie store reported to the cashier that a man attempted to snatch her purse while inside the store. Another shopper overheard the conversation with the cashier and, concerned about the victim's safety, escorted her to her vehicle which was in the store parking lot. While in the parking lot, both the victim and her security escort noticed the attempted purse snatcher quickly exit the store with a shopping buggy full of merchandise, enter a vehicle being driven by a female and exit the store parking lot heading south.
The man who provided the security escort to the victim followed that vehicle and obtained the vehicle's license number. The vehicle was registered to a Bogalusa female. When the owner of the car was located by a Sheriff's Office detective, she stated she was unaware that the man had stolen the merchandise. She stated that he came out of the store with merchandise, asked her for a ride to Bogalusa, and she complied. She wrongly assumed that he had paid for the merchandise in the buggy. The investigation determined that the woman was truthful in her statement to the detective.
The owner of the vehicle did not know the name of the man to whom she had given a ride and could identify him only as "Ghost" who resided with his mother. A Washington Parish Sheriff's Office detective relied on eyewitnesses and store surveillance video to identify the thief as Thomas Washington, 49, a resident of East 4th Street in Bogalusa. Washington was located, arrested and transported to the Washington Parish Jail, charged with Attempted Purse Snatching and Theft of Goods He remains in jail with bond set at $12,500.
"Our responding patrol deputy and the detective who followed up with the investigation did a great job of coordinating their efforts to identify and apprehend Mr. Washington," stated Sheriff Randy Seal. "Washington is well known to the Sheriff's Office, having been booked into our jail a total of nine times since 2008. I am pleased that this career criminal is off the street once again and occupying a spot in our jail."
Washington has a long criminal history in Washington Parish. His first jail booking in 2008 included charges of aggravated kidnapping and aggravated rape. Other bookings since 2011 include charges of theft, possession of drug paraphernalia and a 2015 charge of battery on a police officer.

Q: Whats the generalisation in category theory of the classical cover in topology? In topology a cover of a space is a set of subspaces whose union is the space. Obviously a subspace is an inclusion.
A space is an object in the category $Top$.
In category theory, according to nlab, a cover of an object $U$ (of some category) is a family of morphisms $f_i:U_i\rightarrow U$. It doesn't look as though they require that the 'union' of the $U_i$ needs to be $U$. Nor that they should be 'inclusions'. But if we do require it, what is the best way to generalise the condition? Is there standard nomenclature for this?
The inclusion of a subspace $U_i$, is probably best generalised by requiring that each $f_i$ is monic.
For the 'union' of the $U_i$, can we simply say that the maps are jointly epic? That is whenever $g\circ f_i=h\circ f_i$ for all $i$, we have $g=h$. But this simply says that $U$ is a coproduct of the family $f_i$.
Or alternatively, in topology, we can take the disjoint union of the cover and this will be surjective and locally injective - that is a local homeomorphism. And this is also called an etale mapping.
If the category has all pushouts and an initial object $0$, we can construct the disjoint pushout $\sqcup g_i$ by the initial morphisms $g_i:0\rightarrow U_i$, and then  by the pushout property we have  $\sqcup g_i:\sqcup U_i\rightarrow U$ that is epic. But in the presence of initial objects pushouts & coproducts can construct each other. So the alternative is actually no real alternative.

A: The correct approach is not to internalize the notion of "surjective", but rather to axiomatize the characteristic properties of open coverings. This has been done by Grothendieck, who introduced Grothendieck topologies. He defined them for the purpose of étale cohomology.

cheap swimwear I add a cup of white vinegar to most loads of laundry and some baking soda in the rinse cycle. This is a great deodorizer and also boosts brightness. If you have really smelly clothes (or anything else) let them soak in baking soda overnight first. Vicuas were first domesticated and bred into alpacas by the ancient tribes of the Andean highlands of Peru, Argentina, Chile and Bolivia. Two thousand year old Paracas textiles are thought to include alpaca fiber. Also known as "The Fiber of the Gods", Alpaca was used to make clothing for royalty. In recent years, alpacas have also been exported to other countries. In countries such as the USA, Australia and New Zealand, breeders shear their animals annually, weigh the fleeces and test them for fineness cheap swimwear.

A deployment descriptor egy általános elnevezése az olyan konfigurációs fájloknak, melyek egy alkalmazás, webes tárolóba történő telepítésének módját definiálják, strukturált formában. (Servlet containerek listája)

A Java Platform, Enterprise Edition leírói megadják, hogyan legyenek telepítve a modulok és komponensek. Ilyen komponensek lehetnek például webalkalmazások. Ez a leíró fájl tartalmazza az utasításokat a webalkalmazás telepítéséhez, melyet "deployment tool" fog értelmezni. Ez a beállítások alapján, különféle konténer és biztonsági beállítást végez el, valamint speciális környezeti beállításokat alkalmazhat. Az XML a leíró fájl szintaxisát alkotó adatleíró nyelv.

Webalkalmazásoknál a telepítési leírókat web.xml-nek hívják, és a projekt mappaszerkezetében a WEB-INF mappában található. A Java webalkalmazások a web.xml-ben definiálják, hogy az egyes URL-ek hogyan mutassanak (Servlet)-ekre, és ezek közül melyik milyen authentikációt igényel. A web.xml része a webalkalmazások servlet szabványának.

Típusai

A Java EE rendszerben két fajta telepítési leíró van: "Java EE deployment descriptors" és "runtime deployment descriptors". A Java EE telepítési leírók a nyelv által specifikáltak. A futásidejű leírókat az egyes gyártók biztosítják a saját tároló implementációikhoz. Például a web.xml fájl szabványos Java EE deployment descriptor, amely a Java Servlet specifikációjában van leírva. Azonban a sun-web.xml fájl konfigurációs adatokat speciálisan a "Sun GlassFish Enterprise Server" implementációjához tárol. Ezeken felül több különböző leíró létezik még.

Szervletek és URL-ek

A web.xml egy kapcsolatot definiál URL címek és a szervletek között, melyek a kéréseket szolgálják ki. A Webkiszolgáló arra használja ezt a konfigurációs fájlt, hogy megkeresse az adott URL-hez tartozó szervletet, és meghívja a kéréshez tartozó osztály megfelelő metódusát. (pl. a doGet () metódus a HTTP GET kéréseket).

Egy URL-t egy szervlethez a következő módon lehet kapcsolni. A <servlet> kulcsszóval deklaráljuk a szervletet, majd megadjuk a kapcsolatot egy URL címmel. Ezt a <servlet-mapping> kulcsszóval tehetjük meg.

A <servlet> elem megadásához definiálnunk kell a nevét, az osztályát és az kezdeti paramétereit. Az osztály tag arra a java osztályra hivatkozik, amely a szervlethez befutó kérések kezelését valósítja meg. Többször is deklarálható ugyanaz az osztály ha a kiindulási paraméterei különbözőek, azonban a névnek egyedinek kell lennie a teljes fájlban.
    <servlet>
        <servlet-name>redteam</servlet-name>
        <servlet-class>mysite.server.TeamServlet</servlet-class>
        <init-param>
            <param-name>teamColor</param-name>
            <param-value>red</param-value>
        </init-param>
        <init-param>
            <param-name>bgColor</param-name>
            <param-value>#CC0000</param-value>
        </init-param>
    </servlet>

    <servlet>
        <servlet-name>blueteam</servlet-name>
        <servlet-class>mysite.server.TeamServlet</servlet-class>
        <init-param>
            <param-name>teamColor</param-name>
            <param-value>blue</param-value>
        </init-param>
        <init-param>
            <param-name>bgColor</param-name>
            <param-value>#0000CC</param-value>
        </init-param>
    </servlet>

A <servlet-mapping> tag definiálja a kapcsolatot egyes URL minták és a már deklarált szervletek között. Az URL minta tartalmazhat (*) szimbólumot az URL elején vagy végén, ezzel jelezve hogy további karakterek lehetnek az URL-ben.

    <servlet-mapping>
        <servlet-name>redteam</servlet-name>
        <url-pattern>/red/*</url-pattern>
    </servlet-mapping>

    <servlet-mapping>
        <servlet-name>blueteam</servlet-name>
        <url-pattern>/blue/*</url-pattern>
    </servlet-mapping>

Megjegyzés: Az URL mutathat adott szerveren lévő mappának a teljes tartalmára, mely tartalmazhat úgynevezett statikus fájlokat. Ilyenek például a képek, CSS vagy JavaScript fájlok. Ezeket ki lehet zárni az appengine-web.xml megfelelő beállításával.

JSP

Egy alkalmazás használhatja a JavaServer Pages-t (JSP) a weboldalak implementálására. A JSP oldalak szervletek, melyek statikus tartalom például HTML elemek és Java kód keveréke. Ezzel hatékony adatvizualizációs oldalak készíthetők.

Az alkalmazás motor támogatja az automatikus fordítást és URL mapping-ot a JSP számára. A WEB-INF mappán kívül bármely JSP kiterjesztésű fájl automatikusan egy szervlet osztállyá lesz fordítva. A hozzá tartozó URL pedig a gyökérhez képesti relatív pozíciója lesz.

Saját URL mapping-ot a következő módon definiálhatunk:

    <servlet>
        <servlet-name>register</servlet-name>
        <jsp-file>/register/start.jsp</jsp-file>
    </servlet>

    <servlet-mapping>
        <servlet-name>register</servlet-name>
        <url-pattern>/register/*</url-pattern>
    </servlet-mapping>

Megjegyzés: A <jsp-file> (/) karakterrel kell kezdődjön amennyiben a JSP fájl az alkalmazás root könyvtárában található.

Lehetőség van JSP taglibek telepítésére is, melyet a <taglib> tag vezet be.

    <taglib>
        <taglib-uri>/escape</taglib-uri>
        <taglib-location>/WEB-INF/escape-tags.tld</taglib-location>
    </taglib>

Biztonság és authentikáció

A <security-constraint> elemmel lehetséges biztonsági megszorításokat definiálni az URL illesztési mintához. Például, ha a felhasználó bejelentkezés nélkül egy olyan URL-re hivatkozik, amely így nem érhető el, akkor a szerver átirányítja a beljelentkező képernyőre.

    <security-constraint>
        <web-resource-collection>
            <url-pattern>/profile/*</url-pattern>
        </web-resource-collection>
        <auth-constraint>
            <role-name>*</role-name>
        </auth-constraint>
    </security-constraint>

    <security-constraint>
        <web-resource-collection>

Home reviews X3 Review
X3 Review
I had average expectations for this third installment of X-Men; I didn't like the first one, and thought the second was pretty decent.
Even though the action's pretty good, there could have been more all-out mutant mayhem. It looks like they stayed on a tight budget and didn't go crazy on the special effects (unlike the Superman movie which is getting close to $300 million mark). I expected a little more action and crazy mutant powers to be showcased. It's still better than MI:3, just keep your expectations realistic, and it's fun to watch.
By the way the "extra scene" at the end, after the credits roll is not really a scene, more like a 5 second teaser at best...I just heard it already made $120 million dollars, so there's definitely going to be an X4 in a couple of years. Woohoo!

Coventry is a welcoming city, a changing city, and a city full of culture – it has submitted a bid to be the UK City of Culture 2021. When you think of café culture, Coventry probably isn't the first city in the UK you think of, but like most cities across the UK, there is a thriving and growing café culture; one that's changing all the time too.
While Coventry doesn't necessarily have a huge range of the so-called 'third wave' coffee shops, it had an incredibly rich variety of cafés across the city, from your local café where you can guarantee a great breakfast, to coffee houses which have their own blend of coffee, to social enterprises who use profits to fund charity activities. Cafés are important social hubs in cities and communities. Cafés both in the city centre, and out towards the suburbs act as important places for people to meet, work, and socialise.
This is a map of most of the cafés in Coventry – it includes both independent and chain cafés, and has sought to represent the diversity of cafés that are present in Coventry. If I have missed one that you think should be on the map, do get in touch!
Kahawa Café (on Union Street). Many people have their 'local' café, and for me this is Kahawa. I discovered this place via a conversation on Twitter not long after starting to work in Coventry, and since then its become my usual pit stop, at first for a break from work, and more recently when on maternity leave to take a break with my daughter. The coffee and service here is excellent, they have a broad menu of drinks, and their own blend of coffee which you can buy to drink at home too. I have yet to find a vanilla latte that can beat the one from here. But more importantly, I can always guarantee a friendly welcome, which for many people is what they want when they are visiting a café.
Finney's Coffee Co opened in 2016 and has become a popular spot in the city, with both indoor and outdoor seating, it provides a bit of street café culture to the city. Serving Union Coffee, they have information cards about the coffee they serve on the table, so for those where the coffee origin is important, this is a good place to try.
The Rising Café, based in Coventry Cathedral, is often listed at the top of cafés in Coventry on trip advisor. The café is a social enterprise where profits go directly towards the work of the charity Betel. The 1940s' theme goes through from décor to the menu, where dishes range from the Clark Gable salad, to the Rising from the Rubble sandwich. They have a broad menu of food and drink, and have a very popular afternoon tea option.
Fargo Village, often mentioned as the 'Camden of Coventry', is a great place in the city, a creative quarter with a range of independent businesses brought together in one location. It has been home to cafes such as Urban Coffee Company in the past, but there are others here which are worth visiting including: Spangles, an American themed cereal café, deli diner & shake bar that has become well known for its Freakshakes; Bubble Boba a bubble tea and milkshake bar; and the Big Comfy Bookshop, an independent book shop which also served tea, coffee and cake (and recently won the What's On Best Independent Coffee Shop in Coventry & Warwickshire award) which is expanding soon.
Ed's Coffee, is stall in Coventry Market, not a café – although you can get filter coffee 'to-go'. It's an important feature for Coventry though as it is one of the few places where you can buy a range of coffee beans (and have them ground to your requirements) and coffee brewing equipment. Coventry market is one of the highlights of the city, a fantastic place to buy fresh food and other goods, and definitely one of the friendliest places I visit in the city. I've tried a few of the coffees from Ed's, a particular favourite is the Papua New Guinea beans, but the Kenyan beans ground for aeropress were great too.
As in most cities there is a strong presence of chain cafés across the city – and they make a great contribution to the city too – from the often friendly staff, to the outside seating to take advantage of whenever the sun decides to make an appearance. There are numerous Costa Coffee's and Starbuck's in the city centre, and in the retail parks around the city, and one Caffe Nero store in the city centre. The Caffe Nero store has a particularly interesting location in the Lower Precinct Shopping centre, it is a round café which essentially acts like a giant fish bowl, and is great for sitting above the busy hustle of the people below. Like in most of the cafés in Coventry, the staff there are incredibly friendly which always makes the place feel welcoming – and they have fresh pastries too!
A chain which appears to have a growing presence is Esquires Coffee; it has a couple of locations in Coventry – one in the West Orchards shopping centre, and another in the Coventry Transport Museum. Aside from the food and drinks, the branch in the transport museum holds various events too, such as Coffee and Board games, a baking club and even a Comedy Night – a great example of how cafés can develop into community hubs.
Café culture in Coventry is not confined to the city centre, there are places spread around the city from the Mocha Lounge in Allesley Park to Conroy's in the Memorial Park. In particular, Earlsdon has a collection of independent cafés: Zafiri's is a great place with a broad food and drinks menu (the milkshakes are definitely worth trying), as well as Millsys, Kendall's and the Juice House. There are new places opening in Coventry too, and the most recent addition in Earlsdon is Myrtles Coffee. Despite only opening in May 2017 the place seems to be very popular, and it's easy to see why. The place is welcoming, with very friendly staff, a great selection of cakes, and excellent coffee. They had an interesting food menu too. A fantastic new addition to the cafés of Coventry.
Each of these places adds to the café culture of Coventry in a different way, through the spaces they offer for people to visit, socialise, work and spend time. They all do things differently, offering a variety of food and drink, seating arrangements, and events. Coventry may not be the first place you think of when you hear about café culture, but like many other cities across the country, cafés in Coventry act as spaces of community. In this city there are plenty of these friendly café spaces whether you need a caffeine fix, a place to meet your friends, or a place to sit and contemplate life while the world goes by.
If you know of a great café in Coventry that isn't listed, or hasn't been mentioned here, do get in touch – its always great to find new places – and I hope the growing cafe culture in Coventry continues.


A friend whose reading tastes I trust went out of her way earlier this fall to tell me she had a book recommendation for me: The River Why. I had not heard of the book nor its author, David James Duncan, but now that I've read it I'm filled with the usual sense I have after "discovering" an author whose writing I admire: regret that it's taken me this long to find their work and anticipation as I consider reading everything else they've written.
It's hard to say what this novel is about. I was trying to explain it to coworkers when I was less than halfway through and said it was a character driven coming of age novel that is also about fishing, but not really just about fishing but about becoming so adept at something that it becomes not a pastime but a part of your being. Now that I've finished I'd add that it's about being a son, a brother, and a friend. It's about yearning for solitude but needing community. It's about getting so focused on something — in the protagonist, Gus's case, water and fish — that you miss the bigger picture until someone wiser — Gus's brother, Bill Bob — reveals what's been right in front of you all along. It's about realizing there is something yearning in you for something that yearns back towards you, and figuring out those are your soul and what Gus comes to think of as "the Friend." And it's about love.
Gus is the child of a snobbish fly fishing legend and and a down to earth bait fisher and as he gets older he grows impatient with both. After a meltdown that results in the destruction of a treasured family trophy, Gus moves out of the family home in Portland, Oregon, renting a cabin to go and live out his dream of fishing more hours than he sleeps. It doesn't take long for him to realize he's been deluded by his own ambitions and that the life he thought he wanted to lead isn't what he really wants. He hikes with his much younger brother Bill Bob, who shows him that the Tamanawis river near his home is shaped like the word "Why" when viewed from above. Then he encounters two very different mysterious strangers (that's all I'll say, so as not to reveal too much) one of whom leads him to meet Titus, a friend who initiates him into a world of ideas. He also meets neighbors, and as he examines his own way of being he learns from theirs.
I'm not really doing the book justice. It's strange — especially if you have no idea, as I didn't, about fishing. It's mysterious and funny, full of wonders like a garbage swilling fish, a singing mouse, and dog who likes rocking in his master's chair and drinking teat. There are touches of native American, Eastern, and Western mythology, philosophy and religion, bits of poetry, and copious quotations from The Compleat Angler, a fishing tome from the 1600s. It's about growing up and growing into yourself and yes, it's about finding God. If you are looking for some substance and wisdom in your fiction, The River Why is for you.

Since humble beginnings in 1970 to commemorate the Stonewall riots of 1969, Pride has sought to celebrate, unite and provide a platform for the LGBTQ+ community. With so many changes within legislation and human rights, the question has emerged in recent years; why is Pride still relevant?
Some argue that the rise in acceptance and greater visibility of LGBTQ+ issues and people means that Pride is becoming outdated and has lost its meaning. Pride now takes many forms, with numerous events happening worldwide which speak to all members of the community, seeking to represent the vast diversity of the LGBTQ+ community. However, in order to answer the question of Pride's relevance it's important to look at the origins of it, and who was at the forefront of the movement.
In the early hours of 28 June 1969, the police raided the Stonewall Inn, a well-known gay bar in New York City. Tired of the police brutality and persecution that they were facing daily the LGBTQ+ community fought back, which began the Stonewall riots. The two people at the forefront of this were Marsha P. Johnson and Sylvia Rivera, two trans women who were activists and respected members of the community. Johnson is noted as 'throwing the first brick' at Stonewall, an act of defiance and courage which sent a strong message to the law that LGBTQ+ people would no longer stand for the abuse and injustice that had become commonplace.
A year later the first Pride march took place; a gathering of a few hundred people to commemorate the Stonewall riots and campaign for equal rights. This sparked greater political activism with the rise of the Gay Liberation movement, which would then shift into a wider movement which encompassed and represented all members of the LGBTQ+ community.
In the UK Homosexuality had only been partially decriminalized in 1967, with the age of consent for same sex couples remaining at 21, significantly older than the heterosexual age of consent. In the early 70s activists Aubrey Water and Bob Mellor flew to New York and attended the Black Panthers Revolutionary Peoples' Convention, where for the first-time delegations from the women's and gay rights movements had been invited. Drawing inspiration from the Black Panther movement, they returned to the UK and began the Gay Liberation Front. Following this, the UK's first gay Pride took place in London in 1972. People from the LGBTQ+ community attended and marched in an act of defiance and courage, signaling to the world that they not only exist but are proud of their identities.
In the time since these first Pride marches and the formation of various LGBTQ+ activist groups, we have seen huge worldwide developments in legislation and equal rights: the decriminalization of same sex relations, the repeal of Section 28, the Gender Recognition Act and the Equalities Act to name a few. We have seen intersectionality and the issues of visibility addressed within our own communities and internationally, so that everyone is represented and can feel pride in their identity.
With all these incredible leaps forward, many wonder why events such as LGBTQ+ History Month and Pride are still needed. The answer? There's still work to be done. As a community we still face prejudice, discrimination and social isolation, and it is our responsibility to educate and support our communities, young and old, so that the world is a safe place for everyone regardless of sexual orientation and gender identity. In my opinion, we must also celebrate our successes and champion the people who worked so hard to achieve these milestones; activists who defied the law and societal norms in order to campaign for justice and equality. As much as Pride is a celebration, it will always remain political, as long as our (LGBTQ+ peoples') existence remains political. We should also stand with those around the world who haven't yet achieved equality or the decriminalization of their existence, of which there are still 73 countries worldwide.
On reflection, the development of LGBTQ+ rights and the various political movements throughout history shows us that by standing together to defend human rights, change does happen. Whether this was the Gay Liberation Movement marching with Women's rights and Black rights groups such as the Black Panthers, to the unlikely relationship which sparked Lesbians and Gays Support the Miners, compassion and action for human causes will always provoke lasting and meaningful change.

For the fourth time, Sirplay was present at SAGSE Buenos Aires, the most important event in Latin America dedicated to the gambling industry which took place from 7th to 9th November in the Argentinian capital. The tradeshow was a beautiful experience which made us understand that step by step, we are really going towards the future of gaming industry in Latin America.
The two-day event was the perfect occasion to showcase our latest product, the integrated Bluetooth printer for the land-based agencies willing to improve their betting experience through the portability of an hand-fitted device connected directly to their sportsbook software. The integrated Bluetooth printer is only the first result of our recent partnership with the leading manufacturer of printing solution and gaming terminal, Custom America; to which will follow other solutions designed for the retail betting agencies in order to provide them with an All-in-one betting solution.
But showcasing our latest release wasn't the only reason why we decided to exhibit at SAGSE 2017.
Sirplay has always had a special eye on the Latin American region so, which occasion better than the most important event in the region to strengthen our presence and get in touch with our partners, customers, and friends?
Indeed, we shared the booth with our Argentinian flagship client, Lotería de San Luis, keeping our company vision more than alive: our clients are partners too, and we do care about their fulfilment as it were ours. (Just like our CEO recently said about another important customer of ours, Colbet.co).
Regarding this edition of SAGSE, we could surely agree with the organizer and president of Monografie, Giorgio Gennari Litta's declaration saying "in quantity and quality of the public, we can qualify this edition among the best of recent years". The show was a big success and our booth recorded an excellent affluence, with many visitors coming from Brazil and Paraguay. On the basis of the feedback received in our little, we could say some important changes are happening in the industry.
We experienced an overall growing interest regarding the gaming license situation and the achieving process that can be translated in a great potential for the legal gaming market when all the countries will be ready and well on track with their respective regulation plans.
This really makes us optimistic about the future of gaming industry in Latin America.


There are so many reasons for redheads to love winter. Sure, it's cold outside, but we don't have to worry about our vitamin D levels (we've got plenty), and our sunscreen budget is significantly reduced!
And what else? Winter clothing, of course! Just because the weather is gloomy is no reason to succumb to the season's dreariness by wearing dark clothing. Tis the season to be jolly, after all! And being redheads, we're used to standing out from the crowd, so why not wear a bright and bold winter coat to match/clash?

Chantico ("Ta, która mieszkała w domu") – w mitologii azteckiej bogini ognia, ogniska domowego i wulkanów.

Chantico przedstawiana była w koronie z kolców kaktusa lub w formie czerwonego węża. Do Chantico swe modły kierowali głównie złotnicy i jubilerzy oraz domownicy, którzy wierzyli, iż chroni ona wszystkie drogocenne rzeczy pozostawione w domu.
