Veterans Affairs (VA) pension program provides monthly benefit payments to certain wartime veterans with financial need, and their survivors. As veterans and survivors consider applying for these benefits, VA would like to share important information about the pension program and organizations offering assistance with pension applications.
You are eligible for basic pension benefits and you require the aid of another person in order to perform activities of daily living, such as bathing, feeding, dressing, toileting, adjusting prosthetic devices, or protecting yourself from the hazards of your daily environment.
You are bedridden, in that your disability or disabilities require that you remain in bed apart from any prescribed course of convalescence or treatment.
You are eligible for basic pension benefits and you have a single permanent disability evaluated as 100-percent disabling and, due to a disability or disabilities, you are permanently and substantially confined to your immediate premises.
and another disability or disabilities, independently evaluated as 60-percent or more disabling.
What do I need to know about the organizations that are offering assistance with claims for pension benefits?
Can an accredited attorney or claims agent, who is also a financial planner, charge a fee for preparing a claim for Aid and Attendance?
Is it permissible to offer a guarantee that a claimant will be awarded Aid and Attendance or that the processing of a claim will be expedited?

Q: ServiceWorker / Cache / Set TTL with regards to this api https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Cache, I'd like to also set the cache lifetime.
let's say, cache this request for no longer than 10 minutes

A: That is, unfortunately, not possible.
The doc you linked specifically states that items in the cache objects provided by the Cache API don't automatically get updated nor deleted. You have to implement that sort of logic on your own.
You should note that libraries eg. Workbox already does that for you. You could take advantage of that if other functionality suits your usecase.
https://developers.google.com/web/tools/workbox/

A: This is how I implemented this without Workbox. (If you can switch to Workbox, please do, if not – keep reading)

*

*Created a caching strategy which onFetchComplete clones the response from network, adds a timestamp header say x-sw-cache-timestamp.

*store this cloned updated response to cache.

*onCacheMatch compare the x-sw-cache-timestamp with currentTime and if exceeded the 10 min window, fetch from network.

function onFetchComplete(response) {
  var timestampHeader = {}
  timestampHeader['x-sw-cache-timestamp'] = Date.now()

  return serviceWorker
    .cloneResponse(response, timestampHeader)
    .then(function (responseCopy) {
      cache.add(request, responseCopy.clone())
      return responseCopy
    })
}

serviceWorker.cloneResponse = function (response, extraHeaders) {
  if (!response) {
    return serviceWorker.Promise.resolve()
  }

  var init = {
    status: response.status,
    statusText: response.statusText,
    headers: extraHeaders || {},
  }

  response.headers.forEach(function (val, key) {
    init.headers[key] = val
  })

  return response.blob().then(function (blob) {
    return new serviceWorker.Response(blob, init)
  })
}

Hope this helps!

A: You can dynamically create cache names that encode their creation time and max age, something simple like: ${dateStr}_${maxAgeMs}. Then when intercepting a fetch in your service worker you can look through the existing caches using caches.keys and find one that isn't expired using just its name and match against that, or create a new one if they're all expired and populate it with the incoming fetches. This also gives you an opportunity to delete the expired caches.
I needed to do this as well and took a look at the mentioned workbox project, seems like they're doing a similar thing with IndexedDB storage but that seems overkill for the ask.

Dance Moms Recap 3/19/13: Season 3 Episode 12 "The Apple of Her Eye"

Tonight on Lifetime DANCE MOM returns with a whole new episode called, "The Apple of Her Eye." On tonight's episode the team must bring their "A" game because they're going head-to-head against Cathy and her Apple Core. If you missed the drama of last week, we have your recap right here.
On last week's show in a special two-hour episode the girls struggled to get Abby's military-inspired group dance ready for the competition. The moms and Abby was suspicious of the validity of Mackenzie's sudden foot injury. Meanwhile, the moms were delighted to find out that Abby had a date with a mysterious man. We got to see Abby speed-dating and that was awesome, to say the least. Only downside was that Christi was exiled from the excursion per Ms. Abby's request. Not a good way to build commendatory amongst the moms or the girls.
On tonight's show in this special two-hour episode the Abby Lee Dance Company prepares for a group number that is a tribute to Rosa Parks. The team must bring their "A" game because they're going head-to-head against Cathy and her Apple Core. Meanwhile, Mackenzie becomes an internet sensation with her make-up tutorials.
Tonight's episode is going to be another drama packed one, which you won't want to miss. So be sure to tune in for live coverage of Lifetime's Dance Moms Season 3 episode 12— tonight at 8PM EST.

Invisible Ships podcast
By Invisible Ships
Play latest episode
From true crime to the truly weird.
We cover, investigate and explore strange but true stories from all over Ohio and the Great Lakes.
Look AT That UAP Report!
Good news America! A group of elected officials succeeded in doing something useful for a change and we are finally going to get to the bottom of the UFO phenomena.
Ok maybe not, but that is what we were hoping for. What we got instead was a 9 page summary of unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP) that the Pentagon has been quietly studying.
Tonight we are joined by Ohio MUFON Director, Thomas Wertman, a man who has spent decades studying and investigating UFOs and other encounters with unidentified aircraft. We will go through the report with him and get his reaction. Your gonna wanna hear what he has to say.
UFO Disclosure or Deception?
The truth is out there and so are the lies.....
By now almost everyone has heard that the U.S Government is expected to release a report this month on UFO sightings, how they are being investigated and what the U.S. military is going to be doing about them. We never thought we would live to see this but it is actually happening. In fact, the Defense Department has already declassified three videos that seem to show strange craft that move erratically and at times even seem to defy physics.
So what does all of this mean? And more importantly, how can we trust the government after 70 years of lies, coverups, and secrecy to suddenly start telling us the truth about UFOs?
For this episode, we invited our friend Fred from the Podcast Chronic Curiosity to go over all of our hopes and concerns about what the Government's report will and won't tell us. We get into some pretty deep stuff everything from quantum mechanics to New World Order PSYOP and what all of this has to with the UFO phenomenon.
"UFOs & missing time" In Ohio's Largest State Park
Tom Wertman the director of MUFON (Mutual UFO Network in Ohio) told us a story about one of the strangest cases that he has ever investigated. It involves two men, some kind of low-flying craft with brilliant lights, and a chunk of missing hours. What makes this account even scarier is that it happened at night, without warning and in the wilderness.
We are talking about one of the strangest and most alarming phenomena out there "Lost/Missing Time". What caused two avid outdoorsmen to return home with a three-hour gap in their conscious memory? Whatever it was it scared them to the point where they were unable to return to their normal lives. And wait until you hear what forensic analysis found on their clothing.
UFO 911
Around midnight on December 14th, 1994 people in Trumbull County, Ohio began calling 911 to report a strange low flying craft that was lighting up their homes and moving silently through the treetops.
We have the actual recordings of these 911 calls and you will hear the people in dispatch go from joking about there being something in the water, to basically freaking out when the craft powers down a police cruiser they sent to investigate.
We are joined again by Mr. Thomas Wertman President of the Ohio Mutual UFO Network, listen as he takes us through the dispatch recordings and the eerie events that followed.

Is 'Happyish' Based On A True Story? Showtime's New Series Is Bound To Hit Close To Home
By Caitlin Gallagher
The premiere episode of Showtime's new series Happyish starts with Steve Coogan saying "F**k you, Thomas Jefferson" because of the line that the third President of the United States wrote in the Declaration of Independence: "Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness." Coogan's character may be a realistic portrayal of a snarky jerk, but is Happyish based on a true story? The actual story of how Happyish got to TV is sad in itself since Philip Seymour Hoffman was initially supposed to star in the black comedy. Coogan took over the lead role after the actor's death and though the British comedian has a different energy than the deceased American actor, he still brings a realness to the role of Thomas Payne.
While Coogan's character's name may be a play on the famous American philosopher Thomas Paine, the show isn't based on any specific life event. But the series will still probably resonate with many viewers as it deals with Thom's struggle of seeking happiness between a job that he has disdain for and his home life with his family whom he loves. (Good lord! A TV series that shows domestic bliss! It must be real.) The series also features surreal moments of Coogan in bizarre imaginings — like when he has sex with "Ma" the Keebler elf during a dream in the premiere episode. Although I'm going to go out on a limb and say most people may not be able to connect with that absurd scene, I know I could absolutely relate to the daily struggles of work and home — and the profanity-laden language Thom and the rest of the Happyish world use.
Unlike many TV shows, Happyish's plot is a very modern story about a man who is likely very relatable to some of its viewers. Thom works in advertising, but knows he is only doing it to make a living and support his wife Lee (portrayed by the always lovable and underrated Kathryn Hahn) and son Julius. "I've worked for the Dark Lord for 20 years now and so I say this with a fair degree of authority, 'F**k Mad Men.' There's nothing cool about advertising. There's nothing interesting," Thom says in the first episode. Thom's rants — including one about why the hell anyone would want to follow Pepto Bismol on Twitter — are often hilarious and complete words of truth (in my humble opinion).
That doesn't mean that the show doesn't stumble at times, but with the fabulous cast that includes Coogan, Hahn, Bradley Whitford, Carrie Preston, Ellen Barkin, and Rob Reiner, the half-hour show is worth checking out when it premieres Sunday, April 26 at 9:30 p.m. on Showtime.
As star Coogan says in the above video, the series is "about laughing at the absurdity of life," which is something people all need to do from time to time. And while the series is relatable, it doesn't mean that creator Shalom Auslander made it lowbrow. The first episode entitled, "Starring Samuel Beckett, Albert Camus, and Alois Alzheimer," has references to all three hyperintelligent men for all ya nerds out there.
Actress Hahn says in the video, "I hope that people can watch this show and feel a little bit of fire in their bellies to say what their truth is." Even though Happyish isn't based on a true story, that doesn't mean you won't be able to find some sort of truth in it.

I skipped a post yesterday, but I'm going to adjust the settings so it appears like I posted this yesterday, and no one will be any the wiser.
The reason I skipped a post is that I was busy baking. I had to make something for a bake sale thing at Phil's work. Other people were already doing brownies, cookies, and chocolate chip something or others. The sale was this morning before lunch, so I knew I was stuck with something cinnamon. I landed on muffins.
Mix together. Add nuts if you're...nuts.
Mash it all together with a fork. Sprinkle over the top of the muffins.
Bake the muffins in an oven preheated to 400 for about 22 minutes.
I didn't take photos because I didn't feel like it. Here's an artist's rendition of the final product.


Conducting a public awareness campaign can be challenging at a time when many changes are taking place in traditional media and many new forms of media have appeared. But the basics remain the same.
These tips will help guide you in developing a local campaign to build public awareness about severe weather events, from tornadoes and floods to hurricanes and wildfires, as well as any hazards and threats specific to your area.
News releases, public service announcements (PSAs) and talking points for live interviews remain the same no matter what media is involved. What you choose to distribute may appear on your own agency's Web site, or those of other agencies, in weekly or daily newspapers, or be used as the basis for TV broadcasts, radio broadcasts and Podcasts.
A package of news releases, PSAs and talking points for interviews is included in the threat awareness section of the Texas Division of Emergency Management Web site. These can be copied directly and used on your agency letterhead, or modified in ways you choose to meet the needs of your local area.
In addition, when appropriate, short summaries of safety information and warnings can be used for text or Twitter messages. Short messages also can be placed on electronic signs, recorded on a special information phone line set aside by your agency – even incorporated from time to time into the message callers receive when dialing your office phone. This type of messaging can help you highlight public awareness weeks.
To be successful a public awareness campaign depends on working with key community groups to get the message out – and to build the cooperative relationships you will need for effective response when disaster strikes.
These key groups include schools, businesses, civic groups, community and neighborhood organizations, fire and police departments, hospitals and health care agencies, voluntary agencies and faith-based groups, private industry, the Chamber of Commerce, city and county government officials and area Councils of Government. Representatives from any and all of these organizations may want to join you in helping the public be aware, prepared and safe when disaster strikes.
Grocers, hardware store owners and other merchants may be invited to put preparedness messages on shopping bags, store windows or marquees outside their stores. They may want to work with you to set up displays inside their stores featuring key items shoppers need for a family emergency supply kit. Local merchants might be interested in sponsoring contests on preparedness in the schools, and donating prizes for kids.
School districts and teachers may be interested in sponsoring projects involving preparedness. Children might design flyers or write papers on tornado safety, flood safety, hurricane preparedness or other severe weather themes. Children's artwork based on these themes could be displayed in local malls, airports, libraries or public buildings.
Civic groups, clubs and organizations are always in need of speakers – and preparedness and awareness weeks are excellent topics to suggest for lunch meetings. Local volunteer groups and civic organizations also may be interested in joining with the fire, police and emergency management organizations hosting weekend events on emergency preparedness. When local organizations are holding festivals or special events, a booth or table featuring emergency preparedness publications can be helpful.
News outlets provide crucial information on what the public can do to prepare for emergencies and disasters in Texas. Your first step is getting to know and build personal relationships with your local broadcasters, publishers, editors and reporters. They also can help you learn the ropes when it comes to dealing with state and national reporters during a disaster.
To order publications on severe weather events, contact the Public Information Office of the Texas Division of Emergency Management at (512) 424-2138. Also see the TDEM Web site.

News›Uncategorised›Pagan Lady's Necklace on Display for 35th Annual Viking Festival at JORVIK Viking Centre
Pagan Lady's Necklace on Display for 35th Annual Viking Festival at JORVIK Viking Centre
– Posted on Tuesday 19th February 2019
Manx National Heritage is proud to announce a special collaboration with York Archaeological Trust, which will see internationally significant objects from the Isle of Man go on display at JORVIK Viking Centre.
The items to be featured include the Pagan Lady's necklace, excavated on the Isle of Man from the Pagan Lady's grave at Peel Castle, which is one of the richest Viking Age female burials outside of Scandinavia.
Edmund Southworth, Director of Manx National Heritage and Chairman of the Destination Viking Association said:
"Working with other organisations is a vital part of our work in promoting the Isle of Man's Viking cultural heritage. We are proud to be part of the wider community of heritage sites and museums who promote understanding of the Vikings in Europe and worldwide. The Isle of Man and York are part of the Council of Europe's Viking Route of Cultural Heritage and our collaboration has grown over several years".
The burial of the Pagan Lady over a thousand years ago is important because it illustrates the high status of some women in an age traditionally associated with male dominance. Her pagan burial within an already established Christian cemetery is also significant, indicating a willingness to share a special place. The necklace has previously featured in the BBC and British Museum Series 'A History of the World in 100 Objects'.
Mr Southworth continued:
"The necklace will be displayed alongside other artefacts from the Pagan Lady's burial including a large amber bead, miniature pestle and mortar and a fossil ammonite charm, which we are delighted to share with our partners at JORVIK".
The necklace and artefacts from the Isle of Man are on display at JORVIK from now until August 2019.
To coincide with the loan of the necklace and objects from the Isle of Man, representatives from Manx National Heritage will be speaking at a number of events in York including the '2019 Viking Festival', 'Follow the Vikings Roadshow' and the final best practice seminar of the Creative Europe project.

Manx National Heritage is an Isle of Man charitable trust (IOM registered charity no. 603). We look after some of the Isle of Man's most special places, spaces and museum collections, making these available to a worldwide audience. Our professional team also advises on developments and changes in our historic environment and natural landscape, helping ensure the Isle of Man remains a special place for people, heritage and nature for generations to come. By supporting our work, you help us look after the island's heritage for generations to come. Find out more, donate today at www.manxnationalheritage.im or email: fundraising@mnh.im


Can you afford to move up $15 worth of pet meals coupons? Region PetSmart stores currently are giving away $15 worth of pet meals coupon codes, throughout the Might 2010 Purina Mega-Sale. You can discover the coupon booklets right by the entrance doors as you enter.
Buy a Sunday paper or two (or much more if the coupon codes are great) and remove the coupon inserts. File these by date. For your initial time, you'll only have 1 7 days's worth, but that is Grocery Deals and Offers alright. You can add to it later.
The simplest way to save cash at the grocery shop is to purchase what you require when it's on sale, not always when you need it. It's unlikely that you will stop purchasing bathroom paper or laundry detergent any time soon, so maintain an eye out for revenue. When you take benefit of sales, stock up sufficient to final you until the next time you expect these items to be on sale.
Use coupons properly. Not only is it a great concept to clip coupons but you should conserve them to use as soon as the products go on sale. Merchandisers seldom run sales the same week they operate coupons in the Sunday papers. Keep an eye on the expiration dates. Trade coupons you do not use with a friend or neighbor.
Tidy Cats scoopable cat litter — 35 lb. pail usually $14.99, now $10.99 after PetPerks sale and coupon. This functions out to 32 cents a pound for cat litter, which is not fairly a rock-bottom cost, but still worth stocking up on if you're in need of litter.
Sunset forty four Bistro – Located in Kirkwood, Sunset 44 Bistro will provide dinner on Thanksgiving day from midday until eight:00 p.m. when you make reservations in progress. Sunset forty four Bistro provides a wide variety of menu selections including beef tenderloin tips, salmon, shrimp scampi, pork chops, pasta, soups and much, much much more. Contact in progress, 314-965-6644.
Will the shipping and delivery method alter? Inquiries to Hy-Vee's advertising department had been not answered as of this deadline. If NOWWOW's are successful sufficient with textual content messages, then probably not. I have not seen an sign that NOWWOW's will ever go away or move to e-mail delivery. It's unsure if the long term of cellular coupon codes will be lengthy (indefinitely) or short (end of the yr). What is certain is that shoppers can conserve money at Hy-Vee when shopping requirements line up with the mobile coupon codes.

Mexican Tin Art: Inspired By Diego Rivera | Woo! Jr. Kids Activities
Mexican Tin Art: Inspired By Diego Rivera
Today's Mexican tin art project for kids is inspired by a type of Mexican folk art called hojalata (tin art work). Since the 1500's, Mexican artisans have been shaping, stamping, punching, cutting and painting this metal into decorative and sometimes functional artwork.
One reason this type of art is popular is that it's light and inexpensive. Its shiny surface appears similar to silver which makes it very appealing for making decorative art.
There are several regions of Mexico that specialize in tin artwork. One is Oaxaca and the other is San Miguel de Allende.
In this art project, we will create Mexican tin folk art inspired by Diego Rivera.
Diego Rivera is thought to be the most influential Mexican artists of the 20th century.
Diego Rivera was born in Guanajuato, Mexico in 1886. Rivera's interest in art expressed itself at an early age. He began drawing as a child and at the age of 10, he went to study at the San Carlos Academy of Fine Arts in Mexico City. An early artistic influence in his life was an artist José Posada, who ran a print shop near his school.
Around the age of 21, Diego visited Europe to further study art. While in Europe he made friends with many popular artists of the time, including Pablo Picasso. He was able to view art created by Paul Gaugin, Henri Matisse, and many other artists as well.
In his own artwork, Diego Rivera created art that reflected the native people and working class of Mexico. Rivera was able to express his artistic viewpoint of Mexico's people through a series of murals painted on the walls of public buildings funded by the government.
In 1922, Rivera completed his first of the murals at Escuela Nacional Preparatoria in Mexico City.
Creation (1922-1923)
Diego Rivera was married several times in his life. One of his marriages was to fellow Mexican artist, Frida Kahlo.
Flower vendors were a popular subject of many of Rivera's paintings. The artwork that inspires today's project is, El Vendedor de Alcatraces.
To make things a bit easier for the art project, I cropped just the center of the painting.
Supplies needed for this Mexican tin art project for kids are:
Cardboard or Bristol Board (8 x 10) (we used a recycled cardboard bo)
Printed detail of artwork trimmed to 8 x 10
Aluminum Foil (heavy duty is best)
Acrylic Paint (Red/Yellow/Blue/White/Black)
Paint Brushes and Palette for mixing
The first step of this project is to use the glue stick to glue the copy of the artwork to the piece of cardboard. The rigid cardboard will create a durable surface to support the artwork.
Next, trace the important lines of the painting in tacky glue. Allow the glue to lay flat and dry completely. The glue will dry clear.
Once the glue is dry, tear off a sheet of aluminum foil just a bit larger than the cardboard. Coat the back of the foil (less shiny side) with the glue stick and gently lay the glued art face down in the center of the glued foil.
Carefully turn the artwork over and gently begin pressing down on the foil with your fingertips to adhere the foil to the raised glue. Start in the center and work your way out, this will help the foil mold over the raised glue.
Once you have the foil patted down with your fingertips, gently take a cotton swab to smooth the foil over the glue even further. The reason we are using a cotton swab is so that we do not tear the foil.
Once the foil is smoothed over the glue, gently turn the cardboard over and apply glue around the edges. Smooth the extra foil around the edges of the cardboard and adhere to the back of the cardboard.
Your Tin Art is now complete and ready for paint!
Using acrylic paint and a small brush, fill in each area of the artwork with paint. Use the raised edges of the glue to create the edges between the shapes of color. Fill in each area of the artwork with the colors of the painting. The last step of the painting is to apply yellow paint to the raised centers of the flowers.
Allow the paint to dry completely.
Your Mexican Tin Art inspired by Diego Rivera is finished!

Cleveland man will race Baja 1000
By Paul Shahen, Reporter
CHATTANOOGA, TN (WRCB) -
Like most thrill seekers, Cleveland's Mike Inglis has a bucket list. He's checked off a few like his go as a stand up comic but at the top of his bucket list is no laughing matter. Inglis will race in this year's Baja 1000.
The world's most grueling and unforgiving off road race. 1,000 miles non-stop through the heart of Mexico. Roughly 65 percent of those who start the race, don't finish.
Inglis said, "very good racers have died in this race. That's one of the things that attracted me to Baja. It's not easy, it's a challenge in so many ways."
While it attracted him, the danger put off others, "when I made that decision I went to all of my friends and other races and 90 percent of them, their response was, please don't do this," said Inglis.
To his knowledge only two others from the Tennessee Valley have entered the Baja 1000. They made it 700 miles and that was a two man team. Mike will do it alone. He's completed four 24 hour races over the years and says that along with a strict training regimen has him ready for green.
"My training program is relentless. I know that out there when fatigue sets in that's when you make mistakes. Losing your focus for 30 seconds can have very bad consequences," said Inglis.
1,000 miles, no sleep, little food and alone. Get the permanent marker out Mike Inglis is set to check another of his bucket list, "when the helmet goes on, the bike starts and the green flag drops. All bets are off."
Mike is still trying to raise money to make his dream come true, if you'd like to help

It's dark in the room. Did my alarm go off? Or did I dream it? Sticky comes into the room, his knitted jumper already adorned. "Sorry guys, we have to start moving." Balls. The shuttered windows had led me to believe it was the middle of the night. I really could lie here all day. Fucking knackered and I'm starting the drive this morning. Still, Ronnie has taken every morning so far… Last show today. It's been a blast, but it's time to go home. I miss my family.
I'm glad I took the chance of a shower last night, and I'm glad that we packed the van too. There's no time to shower now and an eight hour drive back to Sweden feeling grubby would have been cack. We head upstairs to the kitchen to find Loffi has put a spread on for breakfast. It looks great, although unfortunately I'm not all that hungry. Still, free food and all, force a little down. Loffi hasn't been to sleep yet. He tells me the party went on until around six, he was playing Eighties cheese and dancing around all night, and then when the last dregs left he went straight to the store and bought food for breakfast. He still looks fighting fit though I guess the not drinking thing helps with that. Loffi has been doing this shit for years on end and like Kev, his love for it hasn't diminished an iota. So much respect for these guys. Ten days into a tour, and about ten years younger and I feel done.
We sit around and chat for a while over breakfast and coffee, Loffi tells me about his new espresso machine he's got at home, the guy loves coffee, some hi tech thing he has that he's very enthused over. The ball of fire in the sky is already warming the day and the back garden looks very inviting. More inviting than the van I have to say. We take some group pics of the bands together outside the house, it's time to do that since we're parting ways after tonight, and then we say bye to Loffi and jump in the van. The streets of Potsdam are calm and we have a quiet little browse at the sights as we meander through the small city. I'm still a bit tired and get a bit of a shock when I hear this bang at the back of the van. I look in the wing mirror and see this angry looking old guy on a bike, serious as fuck in all the clothes and those ridiculous shorts, I've stopped at the lights and I'm halfway into the bike lane. A few minutes later we see him racing along ahead shouting at some mum and her kid who is dordling along on his bike, blocking his way. Seems like Shorts is having a bad morning. What a fucking knob.
I drive for around three and half hours, the GPS leading us through some back roads out in the countryside which makes it slow going for a while, however picturesque it may be I'm longing for the autobahn, just put it in sixth gear and cruise. I drive until we change to the road that leads us to Puttgarden. The drive had been a little challenging since people drive like fucking maniacs on the speed limitless road. Sticky and Stix, the two drummers are sat up front with me, Sticky nervously keeping his eye on the road, Stix fast asleep, mouth gaping open, head wobbling about all over the place.
Luc takes over after we fill up the tank and drives us the rest of the way. As we drive into the coast, the estuary on either side of the road, Stix calls out for one last time, "Sprit, sprit, sprit!" Everyone joins in and suddenly the van has come to life. The bar in the van door is almost depleted now though. And poor Crappy is sat behind me looking white as a ghost, he's pretty sick. All I can hear is the sound of his chest wrenching up phlegm accompanied by stifled giggling from the rest and the sound of ring pulls opening cans of beer. Luc shouts back from the driver's seat, "Sightseeing guys, take photographs!"
"We're drinking," replies Dan Arne.
I'm going to miss these guys. I haven't experienced this feeling for a while now, the end of tour mixed emotions of missing your family, amplified nowadays by a longing to see my daughter, and being bummed about having to say adieu to your new friends whom you've just spent an intense ten days with.
We get to the ferry port where we meet a miserable looking old cunt sat in his cabin who charges us twice the amount we paid coming the other way. He grumbles something about the length of the van and waves us forward. There are long queues and we spend a little over an hour waiting to get on the boat. I mention to Ronnie that I've never had to wait this long for a boat here and he reasons that it's probably because we've never been through here on a Saturday afternoon, that one is normally taking a boat here in the middle of the night or early in the morning in the middle of some tour or other. I look around and observe the various cars and vans stuffed full with crates of cheap beer from the Border Shop. These sad wankers drive all the way down here and stock up on crap beer just to save a few kronors. I guess it's quite a few kronors but still, the frenzy it causes between these idiots makes me laugh. They're all Swedish of course.
The Pyramido guys buy a couple of crates on the boat's duty free shop since the show tonight in Malmö is a bring your own booze affair. We decide we'll all pitch in and drink it and whatever is left will go to Pyramido's rehearsal space. We've been looking at the tour costs and it seems like we're on target to break even, which I have to say is a huge relief. I can't really justify fucking off during the entire Easter break from school, leaving Jen with Polly and the dog all week, and then come back with a few hundred quid to cover. Not when I'm studying and Jen works full time and supports me with this stuff. The words break-even have been ringing in my mind this last week or so. It actually turns out though that it's been cheaper than being at home for a week since we've had food every day and all in all I've spent about thirty quid in personal money. Pretty cheap week.
We get to the venue in Malmö around seven. Kalle Hårda Tider is putting the show on and he's there to meet us with his usual broad smile. We're a little late but that was to be expected, and Kalle isn't stressed. The Malmö Hardcore Crew is here, they run this place together, and there is plenty of help on hand to load in the gear. The venue is some office building or something with a largish room a couple of floors up where they have a stage built into the back wall. They normally have wresting here, totally underground of course. They started putting shows on here a month or so ago and it's been going well. Kev is chuffed to be here, playing Malmö is a big deal for him he says. Malmö Hardcore is the biggest scene in Sweden, there are a lot of bands from here, and it's nice to be here and play. You kind of feel like an outsider though when you arrive in a city that has a thriving insular scene, you can feel like you're intruding a little maybe, but the guys here are all super friendly so there's none of that. Whether many of them will get our chaotic take on hardcore is another matter though.
I'm glad anyway that Pyramido are playing last. Sticky was saying he didn't want to play last in their home town, that it felt daft, but Dempe says it's probably best that they do so that people will stick around. I'm relieved to hear it, feels stupid going up and jumping around like a tit for fifteen minutes after Pyramido have just crushed the place into oblivion for thirty five. The guys soundcheck quick and then we tuck into some dinner and a beer. There is this young sound guy who seems to be buzzing about his job, wants to know if we're going to soundcheck. I don't really understand the need though, there's only a bass drum mic and vocals up there. Have to admire his enthusiasm though. He keeps calling us Diagnostic Bastard too, which is funny. I don't have the heart to correct him and leave it be. Alex from Kids Love Ink and his mate are here, they've made the trip over with their skateboards and have been hanging out in Copenhagen for a few days, hitting all the hot spots over there. It's good to see them here. Seem like they're enjoying themselves. Jona Infernöh is here too, always good to see him. Stix and Kev are going to stay at his place tonight. Åke from Desperat/Mob 47 has also turned up. It's great to see him, happy as always. He tells me Mob are doing a South East Asia and Australia tour at the end of April. Sounds fucking amazing! Chuffed.
Kalle says there are a lot of people coming tonight and that he's going to have to warn people to turn up early. He's not wrong. By the time the first band go on, Bastard Graves, a death metal band from Helsingborg, the place is pretty packed. Kalle says to us, ten more people, and he's calling it. Bastard Graves have a girl on bass that Kev tells me he's in love with. He's been in love about five times this tour though, he mentions that he'd fuck most of the guys in this room too. Bastard Graves are pretty good anyway, although they play a little long. The crowd seem well into them though. I like the fact they have a bit of a punk edge to the classic Scandi death metal sound.
We go on just after ten, it feels like the crowd has thinned out a little. I guess a lot of people were here to see Bastard Graves. It's still a good amount of people in though. Sounds decent enough on stage so we just get on with it. Unbelievably I break a string right at the start, in the middle of the first riff in Hypnotic Eye. Have only broken one string all tour, which is amazing for me and my ridiculous guitar playing non-technique. Of course it had to happen. It gets to the break where it comes to my solo riff, which actually requires two strings, one of which I'm missing, and I just stand there twanging on the bottom E like Dick Dale. Stix looks at me confused and then sees the hanging thread. Don't know if anyone else notices. We cover it anyway. It's a bummer though because I now have to take it easy for the rest of the set with my extra guitar. And I notice a couple of songs in with the spare guitar that it's way weaker in volume. Luc tells me to crank it before we go into Am I Stupid? Or Idiot! And from there it feels like the gig gets going. The rest of the set goes well although I feel it's a little constrained and there's little space up on the high stage, I give Kev a few bangs in the back as we play. I don't see anything from the crowd but Luc seems chuffed with it afterwards, says people were moving about. There was this young punk couple down the front at the end calling for more, "The whole set, one more time, the whole set, one more time!" First time I've heard that.
I get talking to one of the guys from the collective in the kitchen after we've played, he tells me he's been reading my blog for a few years. Says he really enjoys reading it with his coffee in the morning, that's it's perfect when a new post turns up once a month since the texts are pretty long. He says he hasn't had the chance to read anything from the tour yet. I guess he's got something to read over his coffee for a little while. Really nice guy anyway, always fun to meet people through that connection. The other guys from the collective seem to have enjoyed the gig too, Kalle grabs me and says, "Well there was no messing there!" It wasn't the ultimate show, not by a long way, we've played far better to far less people at times on this tour, but I'm happy enough with it. Hopefully we can come back some time in the future.
It's time to see Pyramido do their thing for one last time on this tour. Again the crowd is considerable thinner than it was for Bastard Graves but that doesn't stop them playing a great show. I'm amazed by Crappy's performance considering how low he was looking during soundcheck. The poor fucker hasn't complained once. I have to laugh at the end when they ring out the last riff and Crappy hold his Flying V aloft and then turns it upside down and turns his pedal off with his pointed headstock, killing the sound. Good end mate, good end.
The place empties pretty quickly when they're done, and the lights come on, the yellow tiled walls creating a strange light in here. Seems like we've sold a few bits of merch too. We bought another box of the first seven inch from Stachel a week ago and they've all but gone. That first seven inch is almost gone now, feels nice to get rid of it. We're thinking about putting an LP out of the first releases and it's nice to not have the first seven inch hanging around if we're going to release the songs on a compilation record. The tape sold out on this tour and the second seven inch is sold out/destroyed in Jocke's flood.
We pack up the van and head back to Pyramido's practice space. It feels weird to be back here already, feels like only yesterday we were picking the guys up. Time goes fast and slow simultaneously on tour. Once off loaded Jona turns up to pick up Stix and Kev, we'll see them in the morning. Kev is flying back from Copenhagen and Stix is coming back with us. We drive around town dropping the guys off at their homes, a series of hugs and goodbyes. Luc is a bit drunk and is in the back shouting a lot as we drive about Malmö in the middle of the night. By the time we're dropped everyone bar Dan Arne off we're starving so stop off for some famous Malmö falafel. The queue is coming out of the door at Jalla Jalla though, so we head next door. It's a little cold by the time we get back to Ronnie's place but it does the job. It's around two thirty by the time we me and Luc bed down on the sofa bed. My aim is to get going for nine, I want to be home to see Polly before she goes to bed and it's a long old drive.
Now the tour is over, I just want to get home. It's been a good time, and financially it's gone better than I could have hoped for, we might even have enough money to pay for flights to Finland for some shows we have in October. We'll see. That's the future. Now it's sleep and then home.

Q: What's the relationship between bitwise capacity and bit capacity? In Conversions (on Chapter 2) in C# topic in C# 5.0 in a Nutshell, the author says:

...Conversions can be either implicit or explicit: implicit conversions happen automatically, and explicit conversions require a cast. In the following example, we implicitly convert an int to long type (which has twice the bitwise capacity of an int)...

This is the example:
int x = 12345;      // int is a 32-bit integer
long y = x;         // Implicit conversion to 64-bit integer
short z = (short)x; // Explicit conversion to 16-bit integer

Is there a relationship between bitwise capacity and bit capacity? or, what is author´s point respect to bitwise capacity?

A: I think, he wants to differntiate between "bitwise capacity" and "numeric capacity".
In the example, the data types differ in bitwise capacity: int has 32, long 64 and short 16. In this case, conversions to data types with higher capacity happen implicit, conversions to data types with lower bitwise capacity happen explicit.
On the other hand, there's something like "numeric capacity" where int and uint do share the same number of bits (they have the same "bitwise capacity"), but are still not fully compatible in terms of values you can store (uint has no support for negative values).

A: It is the same thing. It just means that you have twice as many bits to represent your value, which means you can store much larger numbers. Numeric capacity is therefore tied to bitwise capacity since the more bits the higher numeric capacity.
With a 64 bit data type you can represent your value using 64 bit binary numbers

A: I think they mean "capacity, with respect to bits". If they had left out the "bitwise" part, then it could easily be interpreted as "this type holds twice as many values as the other type", which is wrong: it holds much more than twice the number of values. It holds twice the number of bits, which increases the number of values exponentially.

Social Mobility and Inequality across Italy and Europe: 1300-1800
Start date 1 June 2017
End date 31 May 2022
EXCELLENT SCIENCE - European Research Council (ERC)
Total cost€ 1 499 375
UNIVERSITA COMMERCIALE LUIGI BOCCONI
The goal of SMITE is to improve our knowledge of long-term trends in social mobility, from the decades immediately preceding the Black Death of 1347-49 up until the eve of Industrialization. The objective is not only to measure mobility, but also to understand its consequences for the economy and society at large. Very few data about preindustrial social mobility are available today, especially for southern Europe. SMITE will collect an extensive database about social mobility, measured in different ways including: economic mobility across wealth classes and occupational mobility. Archival research will be concentrated on Italy where excellent sources exist, but the Italian case will be placed in the wider European context. The few existing databases from all over the continent will be collected for comparison and direct research will be done on some regions of Europe beyond Italy, especially in France, Spain and the Low Countries.
SMITE will reconstruct social mobility trends both in growing and in declining areas of Europe. The connection between social mobility and economic growth will be assessed. SMITE will also analyse in detail the connection between long-term changes in social mobility and in economic inequality, which is a novel and potentially very important research avenue. It will receive from an earlier ERC project (EINITE) the largest existing database on preindustrial inequality. It will study whether the growth in economic inequality, which seems to have characterized both northern and southern Europe during the early modern period, went hand in hand with an increase in upward social mobility or whether there were differences across the continent. In fact, upward social mobility might have slowed down in southern Europe from ca. 1600 (as some literature suggests) but not in the North, thus determining in the South a particularly unfavourable combination of high inequality and a closed society which might have contributed to the North-South divergence

Are you a mulled wine lover? Us too! Spice up your holiday season with this tasty recipe!
For an even better cooking experience, please find some helpful gadgets here.
Prep the juice. Take 5 of the oranges and roll them on a solid surface until you feel the flesh softening. Then cut them into half and squeeze the orange to remove the juice. Tip: Use this juicer.
Mix and stir. Place all spices in a saucepan. Open the wine bottle (if you need some help with that, we got you!) and combine the wine with the freshly-squeezed orange juice.
Add some Vitamin C. Cut the lemon and the remaining orange in half and slice into rounds. Add them to the saucepan.
Heat up. Simmer over low heat for 10 minutes. Don't forget to toss occasionally with a wooden spoon. Tip: If you want to avoid nasty red wine spots on your kitchen surface, use a spoon mat.
Enjoy! Pour the mulled wine into mugs. Feel free to garnish the drink with a cinnamon sticks or fruit slices.

Some of mankind's greatest philosophical pursuits can been boiled down to one simple, but incredibly important question: What kind of punk am I? We are always trying to figure out where we fit in, who are our real friends, and how to make sure no one discovers we are total posers with less than four records in our collections. This quiz—specially designed by the social scientists at The Hard Times—has been created to solve this problem, and will tell you, within some margin of error, exactly what sort of punk you are.
It doesn't matter, I have the bars tattooed on my bicep.
First there, last to leave.
Couldn't get on the list so you stayed outside smoking and buying underage kids booze.
Just in time for the headlining band.
Ask to try it on, but never buy it.
Buy them all to flip on eBay to Euros.
Complain about how the band sold out on Twitter.
Ask if they want to trade for the shirt you are currently wearing.
Your parents have this covered.
Keep asking these questions and you will find out.
Burnin Bob and the Big Boys @ FaceBook.
Very few of these answers apply. I am so not punk!
It's just for boys too. Hey Hard Times, don't you know punk is "not just boys fun?" Make a girl one, or a gender neutral one! It was funny all the same though.
This quiz is brilliant! Getting an ab workout and crying a little.
You are a feared presence whenever you step into the pit. Rumor has it you beat up 15 cops at once and then they bought you beer. The night after the fight was when you got that decapitated mongoose tatted on the side of your head. But you need to stop texting my sister every night at 2 a.m., it's fucked up.
Whoever wrote this quiz is a moron and should be punished by having to listen to nothing but Rollins band for the rest of their miserable lives.
Where did you get these questions? Did you find them in a flier in the parking lot of a warped tour? Cromags are not a punk band. Punk is about DIY it always has been.
The Cro Mags weren't punk? That is the dumbest thing I believe I've ever read.
Especially given that I'm standing next to Harley Flanagan as I write this.
That was pretty funny. It wasnt meant to reaffirm who you already think you are.
Punk is like, Green Day right?

You'll find an interactive map of the Boston, Massachusetts area above, though you can't access the little yellow pegman from that map. Use the link below it, "View Larger Map", and the map will appear on your monitor; drag the little Yellow Man onto the map, let go while he's over a blue area, and start exploring. Find an interesting subject/area. Change it all you want. Or paint it straight up as you see it. Instructions are in the sidebar to the right. Any questions, ask 'em in the comments or email me directly.
This month we travel to a historic region of of the east coast of the United States, particularly Boston, Mass., and it's surrounding areas. I chose to include more than the city proper mainly due to the lack of all streets being available through Street View. This gives you, the artist, the opportunity to explore outside the city a little to find that special composition that catches your eye. Also, you will notice that while a lot of Boston does have high definition pictures, there are also many areas that do not. This doesn't bother me as I search, mainly for the reason that I don't want to lavishly copy what is before me (most of the time), but instead, I look for a pleasing composition as a starting point.
It is necessary to stress the importance of a couple of rules. One is the image size issue. It states in the rules in the right sidebar on this blog that the image has to be at a resolution of 72 and no larger than 1000 pixels on the widest side. Submissions not following the rules will not be posted.
IGNORE THE BLUE DOTS! It appears that Google has now added every user submitted photograph to the maps in the form of blue dots. Make sure your reference comes from the actual Street View application and not a photograph. Thanks.
Also, each artist must include the URL of the location that the artwork is based upon. To find the URL is easy. In the maps mode, while looking at your scene you have chosen, click the "LINK" button at the top right of the screen, you will see two options that open for you, CHOOSE THE TOP ONE, "Paste link in email or IM". With that link highlighted simply copy it and paste into your email with your submission. (How do you not lose your location? Click "SEND" with your view up and email it to yourself.) Remember, these buttons are found at the top right of the map, in the light blue bar.
So there you go. Should be extremely easy. If your submission doesn't show up on the blog, please check the list near the top in the sidebar entitled, "Don't see your submission? This could be the reason..." Thanks.
Thanks again to Google, as they have given their permission for artists to use Street View as a reference for paintings that can then be sold without fear of copyright infringement.
And thank you, artists, for participating.
Remember, participation is open to all levels of artistic ability.
NOW LET'S HAVE SOME FUN!
Wow. I am so excited about this one! And I had a feeling you were painting Boston when you posted this painting earlier.
I have just discovered your blog. What a very good idea to use Google street views to create a painting.
I would love to participate but I am not sure I will have the time but I will try.
Very very good idea; Super !
Thanks ladies. This is looking like it's going to be a great month!
For those wondering how to participate, please read the rules and instructions in the sidebar on the right and below the current map. Also, you can click on the page link at the top of the Virtual Paintout page, "How to Participate".
Or click the image below for my website.
Feel free to use the image above on your blog, website, etc and link to the Virtual Paintout blog.
The artist must use a view found through Google Street View as the reference for the painting or drawing. Artwork created from photographs not acquired through Google Street View will not be accepted. User Photos found as thumbnails in the upper right hand corner on some views (and now indicated also by the confusing blue dots) are not acceptable. Google Earth views are not acceptable either. The whole point is to "walk" around the streets using Google Street View, in the pre-determined area, as if you were actually participating in a real life paintout. Thanks.

Google approves using Street View for art!
Google's Legal Team has confirmed that artists can use images from Google Street View as reference for creating paintings and drawings, and the artists can sell these works without fear of copyright infringement claim from Google.
One thing that needs to be made clear. If the artist shows an original view on which a painting is based, i.e. the original screenshot, make sure to keep the Google logo and copyright visible on that screenshot. No logos or mention of Google is necessary on your art itself. As an example, if you show your Street View art in a gallery and want to show the reference beside the painting, the reference would have the logo, not your painting.
The team is very excited about the concept! As am I.
To gather in one area of the world, virtually, once a month with other artists.
To paint or draw a scene and composition of your choosing, within a predetermined area.
You may put as many hours into the painting as you wish. You've got a month!
Each project will begin on the first of the month and will end on the last day of the month. Submit your art during the month and it will be posted. Once the monthly location has ended no more art will be accepted for that particular month.
This monthly project is open to all, no matter the experience or level. All drawing and painting mediums are acceptable, with the exclusion of computer created/digital art. A new city will be posted monthly.
To get to Google Street View, go to Google/Maps. Find the city, zoom in, and drag and drop the little yellow man (in the top left corner) onto a street. A pop-up window will appear with a 360 degree photographic view. You may then travel the streets, looking around, to find your composition.
Since you can't save a pic from Street View, I've found the easiest thing is to take a screenshot of your monitor screen. To do this with a PC simply hit alt + print screen. Open a photo program and paste into a new document. With a MAC press shift + command + 3. This will normally create a PDF that you can then open with Adobe Acrobat or a photo program. You may also take photograph of the scene as it's displayed on your monitor screen and open it in a photo editing software program, and work from that. You'll see that some verticals may need to be fudged a bit due to camera distortion.
All artwork should be sent to me at bnguffey @ windstream.net, and should consist of an attachment of a good quality jpg image, adequately cropped to show nothing but the artwork. I will not post out of focus, poor quality photographs. Be professional. Make sure your name and website/blog address are included with your submission. Also be sure to include "Virtual Paintout" in the subject line. No large file sizes please. Do not exceed 1000 pixels on the widest side. Please keep the resolution to 72 also. Thanks.
A URL of the location is now required with each submission. It's easy to do. Just click the "LINK" button in the top right corner of the screen in Google Street View that you are painting/drawing. Copy the link URL and paste it into the email with your submission. You can easily click the "SEND" button in the same location and email the link to yourself so that you have it on file.
We must limit the number of artworks submitted to 3 (three) pieces per artist, per month.

Cybersecurity is a matter of grave concern in the present era. It has gained a substantial attention and investments both from the private and government sectors, especially in view of the languishing pains they have been subjected to in the recent times. Ransomware attacks, for instance, took away the happiness of the cybersecurity experts all over the world including some of the most advanced countries in the world such as the US and the UK. Having said that, we mean cyber protection is a matter of common concern to all. Therefore, the challenge ahead is twofold to all businesses that have an online presence namely protecting legacy and minimizing the loss in the event of a security breach.
Now, the million dollar question is: how do you do that simultaneously? To understand the scope of work for the cybersecurity experts like LegacyArmour, you must understand that it is not a 9-5 job that everybody can take up or can give it a try, to say the least here. On top of it, it is a specialized service that demands a totally professional service round the clock and across the geographies. Why is that so? Well, online business means you are doing business even at the odd hours, maybe when you are sleeping. It further connotes that your partner for the cybersecurity must have the infrastructure and vigilance 24×7 and 365 days a year.
The crux is that despite all that, cyber attacks will never die down. Hackers around the world are active and they have forums too. Therefore, you should also aim to check and conform to the industry best practices such as the cybersecurity insurance. You may be surprised to know that millions of companies around the world have taken it to their advantage. Can you really afford to be left behind? Ask this question a couple of times to yourself. We believe you will surely get the right path to move on.
However, awards like the Cybersecurity Insurtech have been instituted and a few companies in the US has been honored with the same and LegacyArmour is one of those select few.
Among the many reasons for choosing a cybersecurity partner for your business, legacy and cyber protection are two major areas that come to the center stage. But, cyber insurance is not available to the end users like you directly. Instead, you can buy a cybersecurity insurance that will be congenial as well as beneficial to you. The best part is that you don't pay anything extra here to avail this extra layer of security. Your partner for the cybersecurity pays for the insurance that protects you from duping.
Like the five fingers of your hand, not every company engaged in the business of cybersecurity is at par with the industry stalwarts like LegacyArmour. Having said that, we mean, you have to choose your partner for the cybersecurity services carefully. Hence, it is pertinent to mention that only a limited number of companies have the requisite knowledge and expertise for the online security services. So goes with the insurance on cybersecurity.

Chelsea defender given 'green light' to leave on loan in January
According to reports, Malang Sarr has been given the 'green light' to leave Chelsea on loan in the January transfer window.
The French defender signed for the Blues on a free transfer from Nice in August 2020 before being loaned out to Porto for the 2020/21 campaign.
He has only featured five times for the west Londoners this season with three of his appearances coming in the Carabao Cup.
Man Utd boss Rangnick should take a leaf out of Ted Lasso's book
With his opportunities limited under Thomas Tuchel, Sarr has been given the 'green light' to leave Chelsea on a temporary basis, according to AS Roma Live (via Sport Witness).
The source claims that Roma are eyeing up a move for the 22-year-old as Jose Mourinho searches for a new centre-back.
General manager Tiago Pinto is 'remaining vigilant' for any 'cheap options' in the transfer market, the report adds.
Sarr has also caught the eye of Inter and AC Milan as they both look to bolster their defensive options.
As well as the French centre-back, Roma are interested in signing Arsenal's Ainsley Maitland-Niles on loan, with a deal edging closer.
The 24-year-old has struggled for consistent game time this season despite having 'clear-the-air talks' with Mikel Arteta after he was not allowed to leave the club in the summer.
He has played 11 times this campaign but has only started twice in the Premier League. He was named as man of the match in the 1-0 win against Watford on November 7 but has only made one appearance for the Gunners since then.
On Wednesday, Mourinho confirmed that Maitland-Niles is close to joining the Serie A club: "I can't say too much now but yes, Ainsley looks like a serious option for us," he said. "We're working to sign two players on loan in January."
It was rumoured that Roma would have the option to buy the midfielder in the summer, but Fabrizio Romano confirmed on Tuesday that this was not the case.
Romano wrote on Twitter: 'Arsenal will receive €500k loan fee plus €500k bonuses from AS Roma, no buy option. Full salary to be paid, paperworks to be signed tonight.'

Cedric Gervais Interview
DJing isn't as easy as many peg it to be. On any given night, if a resident doesn't make it happen, there's always someone there waiting to take over. But being an afterhours DJ at a club like Space Miami is a challenge on a whole other level—not only does the party kick off at 4am, but the loyal crowd that chooses clubbing over praying Sunday Morning expects your A game. Enter: Cedric Gervais and his Sunday Morning Sleaze Show.
Many may think that Gervais was handed his residency, but this came after some hard work climbing the nightlife ladder. After taking some big risks at a young age, Gervais was well on his way to working with acclaimed artists and producers, as well as branding himself as the next big thing. The man does admit that he is a product, but he still backs it up with the music.
Clubplanet recently sat down with Gervais in his downtown music studio for a one-on-one session with the ringleader of the Sleaze show.
Clubplanet: So how did it all start for you?
Cedric Gervais: My stepfather is a musician and owns a club, and he's the one who got me into the guitar and drums. I was playing at his club in St. Tropez and at the time, the people from Queen in Paris came down and did their summer party there. I opened for the DJ and the general manager of Queen said, "Man, this guy's rockin'—we have to bring him to Paris." I was 15 years old and they essentially gave me a residency. But as soon as I got it, all the clubs in Paris shut down because of drugs. So I had no more work. A friend of mine said I should come with him to Miami since he had a place here, and when I got here, I fell in love with the city. I decided no more Paris, no more France, I'm staying in Miami.
CP: What was going through your head at the time? You were only 15.
Cedric Gervais: I remember I was at the Grand in Downtown Miami when I made my decision to stay. I was looking at a view of the whole city and it was the first time I felt homesick. I didn't speak a word of English and I only knew one other French guy here. But, I remember looking at the view thinking, "I'm not scared and I'm going to make it in this city." Now here I am, 13 years later.
CP: What was the next big thing for you after you landed in Miami?
Cedric Gervais: I started playing house parties for friends of a friend who had a lot of money. The Living Room was the hot club at the time, but it was always empty because everyone was going to the house parties I was spinning at. So Frances Milon wanted me to start playing for him at the Living Room. From the Living Room, I went to Chaos, and from there to Bar Room, and then Crobar followed. That was my big break. Nikki Beach also had a big party on Sundays, and I was doing both Nikki Beach and Crobar at the same time.
CP: Would you say that Miami made you who you are?
Cedric Gervais: Yes it did. Everywhere I go, I feel like I'm representing Miami. Although I can't control this, every single flyer says something like "The King of Miami," but at the end of the day, it is what it is. I'm from Miami, I represent Miami and I'm proud of it.
CP: How did you start getting involved with Space?
Cedric Gervais: Crobar started changing management and I didn't agree with the direction they were heading. So, I sat down with Louis Puig [from Space] and decided to make the move to the main room with Oscar G. Meeting with Louis was intimidating. More importantly, the first record I ever bought was the Murk's, "Reach for Me." To share the main room with Oscar G was major.
CP: How did you grow into becoming comfortable at Space?
Cedric Gervais: I was playing in the main floor but I understood it was more of Oscar G's room. I wanted to find my niche at Space. That's when I told Louis that I didn't want to do the main room and I wanted to do the Terrace. He finally gave me a chance and I rocked it. Then a lot of things happened: Roland left, Ivano had his thing and then I found my home on the Terrace.
CP: You already have some history as a producer. When did you start making music?
Cedric Gervais: The first record we did was called 'Burning.' Steve Lawler was the one that put that record on the map. He got it and it started charting in every single magazine, so the record blew up. That's the first record I did for Ultra. After that, they gave me an album deal.
CP: Wait, off of one record you were offered an album deal?
Cedric Gervais: Yeah. It was funny because I gave the first track I ever made to David Waxman when I was at Crobar. The next day he calls me and says, "I want this record, I'm signing it and I'm signing you on the label as an artist." I was freaking out—to be honest with you, it took me two years to do that album.
CP: When was your first "Oh shit!" moment?
Cedric Gervais: Playing in front of 50,000 people in Dublin. It was this past summer playing the Oxygen Festival.
CP: When did you start your label?
Cedric Gervais: Four years ago, I started to get things going. Then it went a little down, so I dropped the label for a year. Then I signed with 24 Management in the UK and they started putting everything together and that's when I started Sleaze again. I have two labels: Sleaze, which is house, and Sleaze tech, which is more minimal and techno.
CP: What's your sound today and what should people expect out of a Cedric Gervais set?
Cedric Gervais: I go through phases. Right now, I'm more into the tech house sound. I play what I feel at the moment. I like everything and I like to listen to everything. I learned a lot by working with Deep Dish.
CP: Do you consider yourself a product?
Cedric Gervais: I do. I think that I'm marketable, but at the same time I back it up. There's a lot of work behind it. Image is so important—it's part of the job. At the end of the day, you're selling CDs. (laughs) I have a great chance to get girls to like me.

Q: Tailwind image that need padding to full load Morning everyone , I have an issue , it's not because the padding not follow the responsive device , it's because it's follow responsive . So I use tailwind as my framework for the project , to be honest , it's my first time using tailwind and have little to no experience with tailwind .
So my problem is I want have big image in my header , like this the orange , dark blue are image for my hedaer
But due to lack of experience , I do this in my code

and for class hero , this is my css code
    .hero{
        padding-top: 15%;
        padding-left: 10%;
        padding-bottom: 115%;
    }

I use padding to make the image load bigger and if I didn't input enough padding , the image will not load perfectly , like it's has been cut at the bottom
I do that as my temporary solution but if it works no need to fix it . As what I say , the problem come when I need to make the website responsive , so if I use mobile  or tablet , the padding will shrink and the image will look awful , it's like has been cut at the bottom .
I need better alternative than just "adjusting padding" , so guys , do you have a idea ? I need the image stay in full , phone and other small device is not exception ,  and it have logo (company image/company name) inside or above the big image .


Discussion in 'Casino Complaints - Non-Bonus Issues' started by sportnbetting, Jul 10, 2017.
THIS IS A CLEAR SCAM!!!!
they have several sites like; bitstarz, play.casino, betchan, betchain, queenspin and many other brands.
Im an affiliate BUT a player as well and i test several sites before making reviews of the brand.. and i won 16000€ 2 days ago and today i got it all confiscated due to; Denmark is a restricted country.
The funny thing is that Denmark wasnt a restricted country in the terms on Saturday but after my withdraws was pending they did also include Denmark.
The funny thing is that they did only change the terms on the site i was winning on, all the other brands is only saying that France and Spain is restricted.
In these 2 days while a had my withdraws pending they said " we cant process payments at the moment - this is a problem for all players ".
so i got suspecious and checked all complaints from this brand on Askgamblers and they simply confiscate huge wins and gives reasons like " bonus abuse, and multiple accounts ".
But i only have this 1 account and didnt take any bonuses and couldnt really be happy for my win because i just knew that they soon will give me a runaround.. i was sure that this payment wasnt going to be processed and i was right.
The funny fact is that i made 3 small withdraws the last month and all got processed fast and documents approved including my Danish passport!
They pay you small amounts but when you win huge and your winnings are higher than your deposits they just make things up and confiscate all winnings!
I have submitted a complaint at askgamblers ( not because i think it will help much ) but then a can link the complaint once its been approved and then show all proofs of withdraw history, terms before and after my withdraw INCLUDING a screenshot of the support telling me that customers from Denmark IS allowed!
When a casinos license is from Curacao i always take screenshots of everything!
Im an average affiliate ( i consider myself ) and always test casinos before making a review because i hope that my affiliate portals would be trusted and preferred by customers because of the honest reviews i make.
There is simply NO other site in this case - it is what it is - and all of these brands from this company should be blacklisted at any affiliates websites who also ( like me ) are willing to provide their players with trustful information.
What kind of story would this company provide me if i was a german resident?
But i was fightning with a lot of different company's and groups to pressure a settlement.
Direx N.V is Softswis what offer cheap casinos solution to all what have 30 000 eur ... so i think the just not have money to pay that ..
