[RP Challenge] MAYhem in the RP Section!
It's MAY, and here in the RP Section things are going to get a little crazy, because the theme this month is CROSSOVERS! From the Senshi traveling across dimensions, to other dimensions visiting them, to having Sailor Moon themes appearing in different universes, this month the focus is all on that wonderfully weird character exploration of alternate realities and Crossovers!
~Remember to get any new crossover profiles approved before you begin to post! If your character is travelling to another dimension and their history is changed, make sure to edit a previously approved profile with additional Storyline Specific Information!
Keep active during the month!
If you don't want to join a Crossover RP on the forums, we will also be doing a series of Live-Chat RP's throughout the month you can jump into for some fun!
To win our RP MAYHEM Challenge: complete one of the three goals below before the Town Hall meeting on June 5th!
Post at least 10 times in (one of) the Crossover Roleplay(s) you entered!
Complete at least one of the Crossover Roleplays you entered!
The RP Admin will be hosting Live-Chat Crossover Roleplays throughout the month - watch out for the announcements in the RP Announcement subforum, sign up, and join in! Every week will be in a different world with an overarching story; after each round, all claims will be reset to give everyone a chance to play their favorite character!
LET THE MAYHEM BEGIN! Sign up your storyline (using pink moon #2) below!
I accept! Don't know the details yet, but I accept!
EDIT: what I meant to say was, I accept the challenge and will edit the post accordingly with the details of what RPs are involved.
I'll take the challenge, but only if Pokemon is involved. I want to RP as my Trainer in Hoenn.
I accept! I'm hoping to get Usagi the Vampire Slayer up and running!!!
We hope you had fun!!


"We LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the Footmate System! I put it in the shower, step onto the brushes and use the Aloe soaking gel. It's so easy and convenient! I had calluses on my feet from running around in sneakers, and this luxurious Footmate cleaned off everything. Thank you for a great product!!"
"I recently bought my FootMate® and my feet have never felt and looked as good as they do now. It's everything the website ad promises. I'm disappointed I didn't discover FootMate years ago."
"I am a diabetic, and this makes me feel like my feet are a lot cleaner than when I bend down to manually wash them."
"This one works for me! I am disabled and have to use a shower chair while showering. It feels unsafe to bend down to clean my feet. I have used others which were bulky and would not stick to my bathtub. This one takes less space! This one has more suction cups and stayed where I put it. The bristles get up on the sides of my feet. I love the feel of the 2 types of bristles."

20 FREE things to do in Manchester
Museum of Science & Industry
Manchester has some of the best histories in terms of science and industry, what with the Industrial Revolution starting on our doorstep, John Dalton paving the way for Rutherford and the smashing of them pesky atoms, and of course – Alan Turing. All this and more is celebrated within the 5 buildings that make up MOSI; including the world's first inter-city railway. They are also currently showcasing Wonder Materials: Graphene and Beyond, which you should definitely check out.
Open Daily 10 am – 5 pm
Liverpool Rd, Manchester M3 4FP
www.mosi.org.uk
Greater Manchester Police Museum
This is probably my favourite place to visit for free in Manchester – it's absolutely brilliant. Open on Tuesdays, this small museum on Newton Street allows visitors a swift glimpse into some of the history and stories behind many local crimes and criminals. Once a working police station, the brilliant ex-copper volunteers take pleasure in showing you the genuine Victorian prison cells (and pictures of a fella escaping out of the serving hatch), as well as the magnificent courtroom upstairs. My favourite was being allowed to try on some riot gear and then read about some of the gruesome murders that have happened in the past in their evidence room.
Open Tuesdays 10.30am – 3.30pm
57A Newton St, Manchester M1 1ET
www.gmpmuseum.com
Weekend Walks
Here in Manchester, we are lucky enough to be a stone's throw away from some wonderful spots for walking. Every few weeks here on Finest we do a little write up on a particular walk and in our arsenal, we've got Heaton Park, the historic (and definitely haunted) Dunham Massy, and Arley Hall and gardens just to name a few. Once you've got through these ones, keep your eyes peeled for more-especially as the days get longer and significantly warmer.
Chetham's Library
This building is the oldest public library in the English-speaking world. The oldest. And it's fenced in between Urbis, the Manchester Arena and that little Barber Shop that never seems to be open. The Library began acquiring books in 1655 and has been adding to its collections ever since resulting in a vast array of things for you to gawp at. On top of this, the Music School next door offers free Lunchtime Concerts where you can enjoy a varied programme of solo and chamber recitals.
Open Monday – Friday with timed entries: 10am, 11am, 12pm, 13.30pm, 14.30pm and 15.30pm
Long Millgate, Manchester M3 1SB
www.chethams.org.uk
Imperial War Museum North
There's not much I can say about the Imperial War Museum to do it justice really. As part of the wide network of museums around the country, IMWN has access to vast collections of war artefacts and stories, all of which will aid in the study and understanding of the history of modern war and the 'wartime experience'. I strongly suggest their 'Syria: A Conflict Explored' exhibition of documentary photography- on until 28th May.
Open Daily 10am – 4.30pm
The Quays, Trafford Wharf Road, Manchester M17 1TZ
www.iwm.org.uk/visits/iwm-north
Frog and Bucket
Manchester institution the Frog and Bucket offer a free night of comedy on Monday nights (if you have a student card – although it's only £3 if you don't). Beat the Frog is a night for brand new comics to try and stay on stage for 5 minutes; most likely telling jokes about non-existent girlfriends or Donald Trump.It's remarkable fun, all held together by compare Dan Nightingale and a couple of well-established acts to get the ball rolling. Add some bunce-saving food and drinks deals, and you can have a brilliant evening for next to nothing.
Open Monday – Saturday til late

The Manchester Museum
I once went to the Manchester Museum and they had a load of manky little bugs crawling about on people's arms and that. It was disgusting – especially the huge black millipede that my girlfriend let walk on her hand. This was a Saturday when there seems to be plenty going on to entertain kids and keep their parents sane. At all other times, the museum is home to a vast collection of artefacts, fossils and live specimens covering the whole of the Trivial Pursuit board. They also have little chameleons too – which are brilliant.
Open Daily 10am – 5pm
Oxford Rd, Manchester M13 9PL

Runway Visitor Park
My mate Eggy is so obsessed with planes that his bedroom back at his mam and dads is full of those little plane models that you can buy at duty-free. He has also been known to take girls on a first date to the airport Runway Visitor Park to show off his knowledge of fuselage designations and Rolls Royce jet engines.
As one of the busiest airports in the UK, this isn't such a bad idea, with the visitor park offering a great place to view the hundreds of flights travelling down the runways. Add to this a picnic area, a restaurant, and a selection of real planes to have a gander around; I just can't understand why Eggy wasn't more successful with the ladies. Perhaps it was his breath.
Open Daily 8am – 6pm

National Football Museum
I'm not ashamed to say that I'm not into footy much at all. Sure, I know who Cantona is and how many goals Roger Palmer scored for Oldham in the 89-90 season, but I don't really care about it as much as most people do. Saying this though, I did enjoy myself in the National Football Museum when I visited. Located in what used to be Urbis, the Footy Museum has 4 levels dedicated to the 'beautiful game' including a huge array of kits, trophies and even plenty of interactive games and experiences to keep you interested.
Cathedral Gardens, M4 3BG

People's History Museum
From the outside, it's hard to pin down what the People's History Museum actually contains. It describes itself as "the national museum of democracy" and aims t0 "engage, inspire and inform diverse audiences by showing 'there have always been ideas worth fighting for'". After a massive £12.5m refurbishment, the museum re-opened its doors a couple of years ago and has had some brilliant exhibitions exploring these ideals. Currently, you should catch 'Savage Ink: cartoon and caricature' – on until 18th May.

Manchester Art Gallery
It's a building with loads of art in it. If you like art – go. If you specifically like Pre-Raphaelite paintings then you're in for a treat. If you like other stuff, they have it too. If you like newer, contemporary art – they have that too. If you don't like art – don't bother. Cheers.

Castlefield
The Romans quickly recognised Castlefield as a pretty sound place and decided to erect the fort Mamucium here in 79AD, beginning the slow progress of what is now this great bloody city. The Roman fort is still there today and the surrounding area of Castlefield is a great place to visit and have a look around.
Later becoming the centre of canal and rail networks for vast quantities of goods during the Industrial Revolution and more recently the UK's first Urban Heritage Park, there's plenty of waterways, warehouses and bridges to explore and learn about Manchester's history.

Whitworth Art Gallery
The Whitworth Art Gallery won 'Museum of the Year' in 2015, probably due to their immense collection of up to 55,000 watercolours, sculptures, textiles and paintings. They've got 7 William Blake's here, and even a few Van Gogh's and Picasso's. They've furthermore got a brilliant Andy Warhol exhibition on at the moment – exploring the man, his images and his impact on the art realm. Well worth the entrance fee I'd say. Oh, it's free. Good stuff.

'I know you're cheating… stop blaming the dog!', 'My boyfriend thinks I cheated with another man through a letterbox!', 'Did my dad have sex on my mum's grave?' Ahh Jeremy Kyle. Everyone's favourite daytime exploit-a-thon of the great unwashed is filmed at Salford Quays and is free to watch in the audience every Thursday and Friday.
So if you fancy watching and laughing at an orange-faced, gambling hypocrite patronise a group of toothless, overweight, vulnerable simpletons in the flesh rather than in the comfort of your own gaff, then this is perfect for you.

The Lowry
The Lowry opened up in 2000, as part of a massive project to renovate Salford Quays for the new century. Since then the BBC and ITV have set up shop here and added even more glass and chrome to the waterways. It holds a large gallery of Karl Pilkington's favourite artist, as well as other temporary exhibitions throughout the year. Also expect plenty of films, talks and workshops on the top geezer himself.

John Ryland's Library
Quite possibly the most beautiful building in Manchester, the John Ryland's is probably enough to give even a Ghostbuster the shivers. Once inside you will find a library containing a dazzling array of rare books and manuscripts dating from the beginning of human history it seems – most famous of which are the papyrus fragments containing some of the earliest depictions of bible stories. Just don't try and find the new Dan Brown novel in here you savage.

After what seemed like 50 years of refurbishments (and adding a wholly unnecessary greenhouse-type thing to the side), the Central Library is now open again in all of its Gladiator-esque splendour. Libraries are not just for books nowadays, and the Central Library takes this further by offering a load of things for you to see and do for free. On top of the countless copies of fist-stained Fifty Shades paperbacks, the library is also home to the British Film Institute's Mediatheque. This ridiculously named service allows you to choose from more than 2,000 British films and TV shows from the BFI archives to watch for free.
Additionally ,there is a jam-packed diary of author readings, talks, writer workshops, gigs, film nights, live performances, open-mic evenings and creative courses as part of the Library Live programme – pretty much all for free.
Open Monday – Thursday 9am – 8pm, Friday & Saturday 9am – 5pm, Closed Sunday

Hidden round the back of the Corn Exchange, Manchester Cathedral may not be the biggest or most impressive Cathedral in the UK, but it is definitely well worth a visit. Once you get over the fact that you don't believe in God and that you won't instantly be struck by lightning for having those mucky thoughts about your mum's best mate when you were 13 – the Cathedral can fill an afternoon with its stunning architecture, rich history and beautiful stained glass windows.

The Royal Northern College of Music
The RNCM on Oxford Road offers free lunchtime recitals for anyone who is interested in classical music. I don't have a bloody clue what 'Joseph Haydn's Symphony No 99 in E flat major Hob I:99' is or even means, but if you do – get yourself down there and get listening to some old skool tunes.

Few field biologists bother to check the daily price of soybeans or palm oil. This is an oversight because the market value of these commodities—along with that of beef, corn, sugar, and coffee—may over the coming decades define the future of rare species more profoundly than will any other driver of habitat loss.
Eric Dinerstein, Vice-President, WWF (US)1
A message from our Global CEO
Cruelty to animals on factory farms is inextricably linked to the demise of farmland birds, bees and butterflies as well as all sorts of wildlife not associated with farming at all, including penguins, polar bears, elephants, jaguars, orangutans and rhinos.
Factory farming sets off a cascade of cruelty and devastation. Farm animals are removed from the land into crowded sheds. Their feed is grown in vast crop prairies, usually doused in artificial fertilisers and chemical pesticides. These intensive monocultures effectively cause the removal of many trees, bushes, hedges, wildflowers, seeds, insects, birds, bees, bats and other wildlife, pretty much removing all life but the crop.
In the last 50 years, since the widespread adoption of factory farming, the total number of wild mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians and fish worldwide has declined by more than two-thirds.
Bees are but one example of wildlife declines due to factory farming: essential for the pollination of a third of all our food and about three-quarters of all crops worldwide, since 1990, around a quarter of bee species have disappeared. Worldwide, some 40 per cent of insect species are in danger of extinction in coming decades. This collapse of biodiversity risks the future of our food.
As a recent UN report put it, "indispensable to food security, sustainable development and the supply of many vital ecosystem services" biodiversity is in decline, risking "severe production losses or livelihood disruption". The economic value put on the pollinating services of bees and other insects has been estimated at between $235 billion and $577 billion.
Compassion showcased the biodiversity impact of factory farming at the seminal 2017 Extinction and Livestock Conference: Moving to a Flourishing Food System for Wildlife, Farm Animals and Us, with the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) and global experts, which led to our call for a UN Global Agreement on Food and Farming.
The weight of evidence is undeniable, not least captured in the book, Dead Zone: Where the Wild Things Were (Bloomsbury, 2017)
In February 2021, the Chatham House report Food System Impacts on Biodiversity Loss, published in partnership with Compassion and the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), identified that the intensification of agriculture - especially intensive animal farming - is the major driver of biodiversity loss and species extinction.
Of all mammals on Earth, livestock make up 60%, 36% are human and just 4% are wild animals. 70% of all birds are farmed poultry, 30% are wild2. These figures have changed dramatically over time.
Humanity, despite representing just 0.01% of all living things, has caused the loss of 83% of all wild mammals and half of plants, while livestock kept by humans have increased in large numbers3
1 million wildlife species are faced with extinction as a consequence of human activity4
Studies show that population and species extinctions are proceeding rapidly, and a sixth mass extinction may already be underway5
Wildlife is disappearing 1,000 times faster than a 'normal' background rate.6
There has been a 68% decline in the average size of populations of mammals, birds, fish, reptiles, and amphibians in just over 50 years as rainforests, savannah and pasture are destroyed7
Wild animal populations are also impacted by climate change – if global temperatures are limited to 2 degrees Celsius, about 25% of the planet's plants and animals are likely to disappear8
Wild animals are integral to healthy eco-systems upon which humanity depends.
How is wildlife affected by factory farming?
Wildlife habitats such as forests and savannahs are being destroyed to grow soy and palm oil to feed industrially farmed animals and to provide pasture for cattle - this is driving many species towards extinction9
This process of species depletion and habitat loss has accelerated in the years since the second world war following the adoption of large-scale industrial agriculture across much of the globe.
Biodiversity loss in the Amazon's forest and rivers poses a significant threat to a variety of species, some endemic, others endangered, and many of which are still unknown10
70% of the forests cleared in South America are now under pasture11
Brazil is home to half the world's jaguar population, but their numbers are shrinking as their habitat is destroyed to make way for soya plantations. 13 million hectares of South American land have been taken to grow soya, mainly to feed industrially farmed animals12
Half of the rainforests in Sumatra have been replaced with palm plantations producing food for people and animal feed. Habitat destruction has led to a 70% reduction of the Sumatran elephant population in the last 10 years13
The process of over-fishing to provide vast quantities of fish as animal feed prevents wild populations from recovering natural levels of biodiversity and removes natural food sources for native species.
Since the 1960s the number of Dead Zones has almost doubled every decade. There are now more than 400 coastal dead zones in the world causing environmental harms and devastation to wildlife.14
SDG 14: Life below water. Conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas and marine resources for sustainable development15
SDG 15: Life on Land: Protect, restore and promote sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems, sustainably manage forests, combat desertification, and halt and reverse land degradation and halt biodiversity loss16

Guerrilla .NET provides a deep exploration of .NET design philosophy and practical advice. You learn a myriad of patterns and best practices, and you get hands-on experience developing applications using Visual Studio 2015 and Windows 10. Learn to write code using new .NET class libraries like Entity Framework 5/6, MVC 5, and The Reactive Framework.
In the early days of C# there was virtually a 1-1 mapping between C# and IL. Much has changed since C# 1, the developer is encouraged to simply describe their intent and the compiler builds the appropriate code. This module will dive under the hood and show how various C# features like iterator methods, anonymous methods, extension methods,LINQ and dynamic all result in code gen by the C# compiler. These layers of abstractions initially make us more productive, but sometimes they hide those hard to find bugs, and can add a deluge of performance implications that once we understand how the mechanics of the features work we can quickly fix.
The Entity Framework is an Object Relational Mapping (ORM) layer released in .NET 3.5 SP1. The module looks at the ideas behind ORM and shows how you can remove data access code from your codebase by working with objects that the ORM translates into database queries. Along the way we will look at how LINQ can be used to query and manipulate this data.
WPF is Microsoft's UI technology for building smart client applications. In this module we look at the WPF architecture and how user interfaces are designed using a markup language called XAML. XAML is at the heart of all of Microsoft's frameworks for building rich user interfaces: WPF, Silverlight and Windows 8 App Store applications.
Using unit testing comprehensively within software development is a growing movement. Unit testing allows refactoring and maintenance with the confidence that existing functionality is not broken. In this module we will look at techniques for writing good unit tests and integrating them into testing frameworks to automate the unit tests. We will also introduce Test Driven Development (TDD) to show how writing tests first delivers not just well tested code but also more loosely coupled code.
Prior to Entity Framework 4.0 EF relied on generating entity classes that were tightly coupled to EF. 4.0 introduces the idea of POCO classes – bringing your own classes to EF. This module shows how POCO support works and how you can use the repository pattern to keep your application code and the data access layer cleanly separated and testable.
Moving data between the UI and underlying objects can be a laborious task. Databinding is a technology that hugely simplifies this process. But more than that, in WPF databinding is a fundamental skill for creating rich user interfaces with minimal code. Databinding is the core technology that enables the use of the Model-View-ViewModel presentation layer pattern which we also introduce in this module.
Code is not automatically unit testable – it has to be designed to be so. We will look at how Test Driven Development leads to inherently testable code by using dependency injection and how Inversion of Control (IoC) containers can make dependency injection manageable. Once we have dependency injection we can then use mocking frameworks to simplify the job of making unit tests truly test only a single unit by supplying test doubles we control rather than the real dependencies.
Service Orientation and SOAP are often seen as going hand-in-hand. However, there is another architectural style for building services – that or REpresentational State Transfer, or REST. REST uses the design principles that have made the web so hugely scalable: resources are identified by URI, operations defined by HTTP verbs, links used to move to the next stage of processing. In this module we look at how we use the .NET platform to deliver REST based systems.

ALBION's under-18 side bounced back from consecutive defeats in style with a 4-1 triumph over Manchester City in the U18 Premier League.
In what was billed as a daunting task for Jamie Smith's side at City Football Academy, Aram Soleman (32) and Finn Azaz (42) struck in the first period to give the Baggies a comfortable advantage at the interval.
The Citizens, who are just four points off the top of the table, were quick out of the blocks in the second half. But Azaz's second of the afternoon (54) put paid to any hope of a City comeback.
Callum Morton added to his tally for the campaign from the spot (66), before Sam Robinson netted a consolation for the hosts (90).
ALBION: Cann, Meredith, Ferguson, Soleman, Azaz, Wilding, Harmon, Rogers, Ufaiy, Harper, Morton.
Subs: Griffiths, Walker, McCourt, Ashton.

Arlington Cops Release Audio from Christian Taylor Shooting
Stephen Young | August 11, 2015 | 4:00am
Arlington Police Chief Will Johnson still hasn't released the surveillance video of 19-year-old Christian Taylor being shot to death by APD officer Brad Miller, but he did release more than 16 minutes of dispatch radio audio Monday.
Johnson released the audio in response to multiple videos circulating that used scanner audio to claim that Taylor was shot about one second after being seen by police. According to the audio released Monday, police first saw Taylor at 1:17:22 a.m. Friday morning. A report of shots fired comes over the radio two minutes later at 1:19:33 a.m..
The Arlington Police Department is releasing police radio communications related to the officer-involved shooting that occurred on August 7, 2015. There has been a YouTube video that was put out that grossly misrepresents the facts and makes a false claim that Mr. Christian Taylor was shot by police in less than 1 second after APD officers made contact with him. The audio which they relied upon and published was not official audio provided by APD and had segments of time removed. This audio file contains the police radio communications in real-time with no segments of time removed. It is the desire of APD to conduct an expeditious, thorough and transparent investigation and provide accurate information to the public.
Taylor was shot after he drove his car through the gate, and then the front door, of the Classic Arlington car dealership. In video released Saturday, he can be seen jumping on the hoods of cars before apparently stomping in a windshield. Miller, on the force for less than year, fired his gun four times, hitting Taylor, who was unarmed, at least twice. The police officer, currently on administrative leave, gave APD his a statement about the shooting today, as did his partner.

Monday afternoon, Arlington Mayor Jeff Williams backed Johnson's promise to continue to publicly release information as it becomes feasible to do so.
"In the coming days, as the investigation unfolds, we will be providing the community with updated information," he said in an open letter. "The racial dynamics of police incidents around the country have driven a wedge between community groups. That's not characteristic of Arlington, Texas and we don't want this incident to derail our progress."
The Arlington chapter of the NAACP expressed worry Sunday that the results of the investigation into Taylor's death wouldn't be made public in a timely manner, citing the March death of Jonathan Paul in Arlington City Jail. Video of that incident has yet to be released, and Paul's family has sued Johnson and the city of Arlington.
Johnson has asked Tom Class, FBI special agent in charge of the Dallas field office, to help with the investigation.

A postman who stashed birthday cards, theatre tickets and hospital appointments behind his sofa is facing jail after being convicted of delaying mail deliveries by up to THREE YEARS.
Craig Congrave, 28, tried to convince magistrates that 56 letters discovered at his home must have been taken from his bag by a drug-addicted ex-girlfriend or a housemate.
Some of the packages had been hidden for nearly three years and were found opened by police who were investigating the postman on suspicion of drug offences.
During his trial it was heard Congrave, of Tottenham Crescent, Kingstanding, had moved house over the period he had held the letters and must have taken them with him when he changed address.
Birmingham magistrates found him guilty of one offence of delaying the delivery of a postal packet or mailbag.
John Dove, prosecuting, said: "On January 21 he was arrested on an unrelated matter. During a search of his house police found two red Royal Mail delivery pouches.
"They contained 56 undelivered packets which included hospital appointments, wage slips, theatre tickets and greeting cards.
"He says he must have brought them into his house on a break and forgot them. He said his ex-partner must have opened them.
"He knew they were there, he knew he had a duty to deliver them and he failed to do so."
Congrave had been a postman since 2006 and worked out of the Great Barr delivery office, but was dismissed when his offence came to light.
Giving evidence, the postie said he would take mail bags into his house during his route if he needed to take a break or use the toilet.
He said: "You're not allowed to leave mail in the car on show so I took it into my house. I never saw anybody remove items from the pouch. I never noticed mail was missing, there could be 1,000 letters in a pouch at any one time.
"When I've gone home I've taken the pouch with me to safeguard it. I had no intention to undeliver or delay them."
But magistrates rejected his account. On conviction he was told by the bench: "We simply do not find this explanation credible or convincing. You must have known they were in your possession and you were delaying their delivery."
Magistrates adjourned the case for sentence to November 19.

'Alt-right' trolls target Turning Point USA again as Donald Trump Jr. walks out of book launch at liberal university after constant heckling
Standing his ground
Photo by MARK RALSTON/AFP via Getty Images
Donald Trump Jr. walked out of his Sunday appearance at the University of California, Los Angeles, after an unruly mob of purported "alt-right" activists heckled the president's son off the stage, demanding a Q&A session.
Trump Jr. appeared at the university for a launch of his new book, "Triggered: How The Left Thrives on Hate and Wants to Silence Us."
About 450 people were in attendance at the event — which was moderated by Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk — many of them chanting, "USA, USA!"
According to The Guardian, Trump Jr. — who appeared with his Trump adviser girlfriend Kimberly Guilfoyle — refused to take questions during the event due to time constraints. Trump Jr. also said that taking questions from the audience ran the risk of creating misconstrued soundbites that would end up distorted on the internet.
The chants of "USA!" eventually turned into chants of "Q and A!" before Guilfoyle called out the protesters for being rude. "We are happy to answer a question. Respect the people around you so that they can hear."
When it seemed like the protesters would not let him get a word in edgewise, Trump left the stage about 20 minutes into the event, which was scheduled to span two hours.
According to The Washington Post, Trump Jr. initially appeared to believe that the shouts were coming from leftist protesters.
"Name a time when conservatives have disrupted even the furthest leftist on a college campus," he reportedly told the crowd. "It doesn't happen that way. We're willing to listen."
One of the audience members then reportedly shouted, "Then open the Q&A!"
"See what I mean?" Trump Jr. fired back. "And that is the problem. And the reason oftentimes it doesn't make sense to do the Q&A is not because we're not willing to talk about the questions, 'cause we do. No. It's because people hijack it with nonsense looking to go for some sort of sound bite. You have people spreading nonsense, spreading hate, trying to take over the room."
Several outlets report that the hecklers were the same "alt-right" trolls who had dogged Kirk, disrupting and sabotaging at least one previous event that was moderated and sponsored by Turning Point USA.
Nick Fuentes, a 21-year-old white nationalist activist who hosts a podcast called "America First," Salon reports, called the protest a "HUGE victory," and seemed to take credit for the disruption. Fuentes — who is sometimes known as "Nazi Nick" — is also a self-described white supremacist and holocaust denier.
Fuentes wrote that he and his "group" didn't have a particular issue with Trump Jr., but did take issue with Kirk.
"Our problem is not with [Trump Jr.] who is a patriot — We are supporters of his father!" Fuentes wrote on Twitter about the incident. "Our problem is with Charlie Kirk's TPUSA organization that SHUTS DOWN and SMEARS socially conservative Christians and supporters of President Trump's agenda. We are AMERICA FIRST!"
Fuentes also blasted Kirk for being a "fake conservative."
"Charlie Kirk is a FAKE CONSERVATIVE that promotes the LGBT agenda, supports immigration policies that hurt the American worker, and says that America is simply a worthless 'placeholder,'" he wrote. "Kirk was virulently anti-Trump until we won the nomination. He is hurting MAGA!"

Philip George – "Wish You Were Mine" [3beat Records] (Official Video)
Cameron Lair
Philip George is an EDM DJ and record producer from Nottingham, England. His style is a house/ deep house mix and he is a member of the label 3 Beat Records. Recently, he has been seeing great success in the United Kingdom, where his music has taken off.
One of George's successes was his song, "Alone No More," featuring Anton Powers. The song made it to number 4 on the UK charts earning him his second top ten track there. George also impressively racked up over 100 million plays on his songs on Spotify, where he also accumulated over one million monthly listeners.
His single in 2014, "Wish You Were Mine," gained much popularity and hit number 2 on the UK charts. This also got his name on the map around the EDM scene most definitely. The song has an electronic/house vibe to it. The background beat is a house beat that will have your head bopping and heart pumping. The vocals are very electronic, but go with the song so well and make it even more hype. "Wish You Were Mine" is an absolute banger and a tune that I would definitely break out dancing to into the club.

Ожо̀гина () е река в Азиатската част на Русия, Източен Сибир, Република Якутия (Саха), ляв приток на Колима, вливаща се в Източносибирско море. Дължината ѝ е 523 km, която ѝ отрежда 186-о място по дължина сред реките на Русия.

Река Ожогина се образува от сливането на реките Сулакан (166 km, лява съставяща) и Делкю (137 km, дясна съставяща), водещи началото си от североизточните склонове на Момския хребет, на 91 m н.в., в североизточната част на Република Якутия (Саха). По цялото си протежение реката тече в югоизточна посока, в т.нар. Ожогински дол – силно заблатена депресия, простираща се покрай североизточните склонове на Момския хребет, от долното течение на Индигирка до средното течение на Колима. Двете съставящи реки имат предимно планински характер, с дълбоко врязани долини, със стръмни сипейни склонове. След сливането им ширината на долината на вече същинската река Ожогина става широка и плитка. По дъното на долината има широка заливна тераса с многочислени меандри и езера-старици. Ширината на корито нараства от 50 m в горното до 300 m в долното течение, дълбочината се изменя съответно от 0,7 до 12 m, а скоростта намалява от 1,4 до 0,3 m/s. Влива се от отляво в река Колима, при нейния 888 km, на 32 m н.в.

Водосборният басейн на Ожогина има площ от 24,3 хил. km2, което представлява 3,78% от водосборния басейн на Колима и се простира в североизточна част на Република Якутия (Саха). В басейнът на реката има над 2,8 хил. езера.

Водосборният басейн на Ожогина граничи със следните водосборни басейни:
 на юг – водосборния басейн на река Зирянка, ляв приток на Колима;
 на югозапад, запад и северозапад – водосборния басейн на река Индигирка, вливаща се в Източносибирско море;
 на север – водосборния басейн на река Седедема, ляв приток на Колима.

Река Ожогина получава получава над 30 с дължина над 10 km, като 10 от тях са с дължина над 100 km:
 523 → Сулакан (лява съставяща) 166 / 1520
 523 ← Делкю (дясна съставяща) 137 / 1510
 434 ← Бургали 174 / 2140
 427 → Тирехтях 108 / 1050
 349 ← Чьочьолюгюн 208 / 12 720
 294 ← Кинрайдах 154 / 1980
 262 ← Арга-Юрях 164 / 835
 249 → Дойди 198 / 1740
 207 ← Силяп 191 / 1960
 6 → Хоска 297 / 3310

Подхранването на реката е снежно-дъждовно, като преобладава дъждовното. Пролетно-лятното пълноводие на Ожогина започва през третата десетдневка на май и завършва през юли. Много често пролетното пълноводие се сменя с епизодични прииждания в резултат на поройни дъждове. Среден годишен отток в устието около 170 m3/s, което като обем се равнява на 5,365 km3. Ожогина замръзва през октомври, а се размразява през май.

По течението на Ожогина няма постоянни населени места. Плавателна е на 250 km от устието за малки съдове с газене до 0,6 – 0,8 m. Използва се за транспортиране на дървен материал.

I grew up moving from one location to another around the Pacific Northwest, which made it hard to keep stability in my life. After I failed out of school, I began to sleep anywhere that I could. When those doors started to close, which was shortly after 9/11, I signed up for the military.
The 82nd Airborne is where I forged some of the most important relationships in my life. After nearly a decade of service, I moved to Portland with my girlfriend (now wife), got a good job helping other veterans, and was about to be a father. That's about the time the nightmares began and I began drinking my pain away each night.
I went to the VA and was diagnosed with PTSD and a TBI from my tours of duty. Although I was reassured that my symptoms could be managed by medications, things only seemed to get worse. A friend helped me get into the suicide prevention and mental health lock up for the VA. I then spent three months in an inpatient treatment program, where I learned to manage my PTSD.
Later, I was looking for a way to get back to helping veterans. When I saw Transition Projects was hiring a Veteran's Peer Mentor, I jumped at the opportunity.
I was offered the position and went through the Mentor Program. I couldn't have been happier to use my life experience to help others and make a positive impact on their lives. As a case manager and now the Emergency Operations Manager, I have the privilege to work with some of the most caring people I have ever met.


More likely than not, a visit to the post office isn't going to blow you away. In all honesty, they can seem to be pretty mundane. In hindsight, however, post offices are extremely complex and efficient…just think about the thousands and thousands of packages that travel all over the world to be received by someone who is located miles away. There are systems in place in order to get letters and boxes from one point to another in a way that is quick and accurate. Imagine what your business could do with mail room equipment that increases efficiency while decreasing the amount of time your employees spend on mail services and functions.
To receive the benefits that mail room equipment can bring to your office, it first helps to understand the different services that are out there. Oftentimes, businesses aren't aware of the types of technology that are available in order to create a high-functioning, internal mailroom that will save both time and money.
There are many different kinds of mailroom softwares, such as QTrak, MailOne, and more. These softwares offer a variety of services, but MailOne, for example, makes the mailing process easier by allowing you to quickly figure out the best shipping methods in order to save money on costs.

Chinese smartphone maker OPPO on Thursday launched its flagship smartphone "Find X" in India for Rs 59,990. It has the world's first stealth 3D cameras with Artificial Intelligence (AI) infused into it and a sliding structure that nearly mirrors the way a semi-DSLR camera works.
The new stealth design includes a flood illuminator, an infrared camera, a ranging sensor, a receiver, a front camera, a dot projector and a rear dual-camera.
With the sliding structure of the camera, the whole system automatically stretches out when unlocked or when a user is taking photos. It will retract if it is not in use.
"The 'Find' series represents OPPO's innovative spirit that believes that a smartphone isn't just a communication tool but also a piece of art," said Charles Wong, OPPO's Assistant Vice President and OPPO India President.
"'Find X' aims to offer our Indian consumers a premium, innovative and technologically advanced offering for an advanced smartphone experience," added Wong who is responsible for building the company's momentum in the domestic market.
The dual-SIM device, available in Bordeaux Red and Glacier Blue variants, houses Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 — the most powerful CPU ever for a higher performance.
With 3730mAH battery, the device claims to run full-day with optimum usage. It sports a 6.42-inch panoramic arc screen with a much wider "19.5:9 aspect ratio". It also sports 3D structured light facial recognition technology to unlock the phone in an instant.
The smartphone houses a 25MP AI-enhanced front camera with "3D AI Beauty Technology" that enhances the accuracy of facial recognition with 296 facial feature points, along with the 16MP+20MP rear dual camera system.
The "Find X" is outfitted with the latest Google Assistant, activated with the voice command, "OK, Google," for voice assistance to find information, schedule, make phone calls, play music, listen to weather forecasts and find locations.
The company also announced a special edition "FIND X Automobili Lamborghini Edition" that was launched globally as a part of its global, strategic partnership with Automobili Lamborghini S.p.A. ("Lamborghini").

Memorial Day recognized at events Valley-wide

While Memorial Day events at some sites in the Antelope Valley maintained a somewhat formal approach, other places like Desert Lawn Memorial Park in Palmdale were more laid back, giving way to a relaxed, yet still somber atmosphere.
In fact, Memorial Day at Desert Lawn, presented by the Antelope Valley Service Organization Association and the city's Recreation & Culture Department, resembled a class history lesson. The AV Service Organization Association formed in 1994 when the city joined forces with several local service organizations aimed at promoting community involvement as well as recognizing and paying tribute to area men and women who served or are serving this country.
The Memorial Day service kicked off late Monday morning with Maj. Conrad Hernandez, Highland High School's Air Force Junior ROTC commander, serving as master of ceremonies.
"We are gathered to remember those that have fallen — soldiers, sailors, Marines," Hernandez told the crowd. "Some we flew with. Some we were in a fox hole with. They all served under the same flag."
Hernandez said World War II veterans served under a flag that had 48 stars — one for each state. The Betsy Ross flag had 13 stars arranged in a circle to represent the original colonies. Today's flag has 50 stars, a change that occurred after two more states joined the union.

After students from Highland High School's ROTC presented the Colors for the Pledge of Allegiance, Gary Bassett, chaplain for American Legion Post 348, recited the invocation, which focused more of on an ongoing debate about the first city that started Memorial Day celebrations.
This is "the true story behind the first Memorial Day," Bassett said. In January 1866, the Ladies Memorial Association in Columbus, Ga., passed a motion agreeing that they would designate a day to throw flowers on the graves of fallen soldiers buried at the cemetery. That information was provided on an Internet site which quoted Richard Gardiner, an associate professor of history at Columbus State University in Georgia. Gardiner also co-authored a book, "The Genesis of the Memorial Day Holiday," published in 2014.
Supposedly the date that the women in Georgia settled on for flowers to be tossed on soldiers' graves was April 26, 1866. But folks in Columbus, Miss., claimed that they originated the concept of a Memorial Day holiday, and their date was April 25, 1866 — one day ahead of the Georgia group. Gardiner claimed confusion developed because newspaper editors that ran the story "fudged the date."
Gardiner said Columbus, Miss., may have celebrated Memorial Day first, but "what's not true is that they came up with the idea. Some people still trumpet the claim, including the village of Waterloo (Georgia) itself."

In the 1880s, a reporter interviewed a source who thought that Waterloo celebrated the day in 1866, according to Gardiner. The newspaper later ran a correction saying Waterloo celebrated in 1868. The problem? Not every newspaper that ran the original story picked up the correction, leaving some people believing that Waterloo was first.
Meanwhile, David Blight, a history professor at Yale University, contends that the first Memorial Day happened in Charleston, S.C., based on a report in the New York Times. On May 1, 1865, workmen honored and buried dead soldiers from the Union Army at a racetrack that had been turned into a war prison, Blight told the New York Times.
There's no evidence that event sparked the national holiday, Gardiner reasoned. "People have honored dead soldiers and decorated their graves since the beginning of time."
Based on information from the Veterans Administration, at least 25 cities across the nation lay claim to originating the Memorial Day holiday.
In many conflicts, Hernandez said, some of our men and women have not returned. They were listed as Prisoners of War or Missing in Action. "To this day, we wait for them to return."
Members of Highland High School's ROTC presented the Table of Honor. "We have not forgotten their sacrifice."
* The table is small, signifying the frailty of one veteran alone against a group of enemies.
* The Bible stands for a symbol of our faith.
* A black napkin shows the emptiness these warriors left in the hearts of family and friends.
* A yellow candle and yellow ribbon indicate everlasting hope for a joyous reunion.
* Salt on the bread plate represents the tears of their families.

Assemblyman Tom Lackey, R-Palmdale, introduced state Sen. Scott Wilk, R-Santa Clarita; Donna Termeer, field deputy for Los Angeles County 5th District Supervisor Kathryn Barger; Palmdale Councilman Richard Loa; and Palmdale Councilman Austin Bishop.
"They stormed the beaches of Normandy and Iwo Jima," said Pastor Carl Hernandez, commander of American Legion Post 348. "Every day is Memorial Day for our heroes. They served our nation with honor and courage. They must never be forgotten. Their duties are done. They stand down and rest in peace."
"On this Memorial Day we must remember the families," said Bob Ventroni, leading knight at Elks Lodge 2027.
Herbert Poindexter returned home after he was identified through DNA, Ventroni said.
Herbert Joseph Poindexter Jr., a sailor from Florida, worked as a barber on the battleship USS Oklahoma when it was hit by enemy forces on Dec. 7, 1941 — during the attack on Pearl Harbor. Two weeks after the attack a telegram from the military notified his mother that her 24-year-old son was missing. In February, a second telegram arrived informing his mother that the military tried, but could not locate her son, so he was officially declared deceased.

Poindexter and 428 other men were killed on the Oklahoma. More than 2,400 Americans died in the Pearl Harbor attack. With the latest technology, scientists in September 2018 got a DNA match for Poindexter's remains and now, more than 77 years after he died, he will be buried at a cemetery in Jacksonville, Fla., — his hometown.
Ventroni said that a relative also died on the Oklahoma and he saw his Aunt Mary receive those same two telegrams. Families that lost a military hero "carry the pride and the sadness throughout their lives."
"Why do we remember?" asked Matt Jackson, commander of VFW Post 3552. "Because sacrifice is meaningless without remembrance. Far too often the nation as a whole takes for granted the freedoms won by the sacrifice of others."
As the rituals wound down, the ceremony at Desert Lawn ended with a 21-gun salute and the playing of TAPS.

Q: Problem importing a source code to android studio everytime i try to import a code source to android studio here's what  i get:

but on a youtube video here's what he got:

I tried using another code source but it still didn't work.


The appeals petition in Turzai v. League of Women Voters of Pennsylvania was filed with the Court back in June, after a divided state Supreme Court decided that lawmakers drew a 2011 election map that was a partisan gerrymander, or an attempt to balance the electoral scales in favor of the Republican Party.
The new election map of 18 House districts was used in state's primary elections and will be used in next Tuesday's general election.
The petition from Pennsylvania House speaker Mike Turzai argued the state Supreme Court exceeded powers granted to it under the Pennsylvania state constitution and the federal constitution normally reserved to state lawmakers.
The federal Supreme Court had declined to act on earlier appeals from state GOP officials to intervene in the dispute, so Monday's decision wasn't surprising to Court watchers. The Pennsylvania Supreme Court's judgment was based only on the state's constitution.
The GOP has repeatedly won 13 out of 18 congressional seats in every congressional election held in Pennsylvania since 2011.
The new map was made public back in February after being drawn up by the Pennsylvania Supreme Court, in a 4-to-3 split vote. The court determined its own version of House district lines after striking down the 2011 plan as a partisan gerrymander in January.

Tigers squeeze past Astros in 10 innings as Tarik Skubal, Akil Baddoo continue growth
Chris McCosky
Detroit — There is no such thing as a lame walk-off win. If it comes on a balk or a walk, a passed ball or wild pitch, a hit by pitch, error — or even on a sacrifice bunt, the win is exhilarating.
"Our guys have bought in that you're not always going to win with a walk-off homer or with a bullet to right field like you want to," manager AJ Hinch said. "Sometimes a nice little safety squeeze bunt gets it done.
"You have the same celebration on the field."
BOX SCORE: Tigers 2, Astros 1 (10 innings)
Yes you do. The Tigers dumped liquids on each other joyously Sunday after Robbie Grossman's safety squeeze plated Akil Baddoo in the bottom of the 10th to give them a 2-1 win in the series finale against the Houston Astros at Comerica Park.
"Guys are feeling it in the locker room," Grossman said. "We came back to win this one, we could've won another game and won this series, but we got the split. From where we started, that speaks volumes."
The Tigers are 25-20 since May 7, their best 45-game stretch of baseball since 2016.
"Since the beginning of May, this team has found ways to win ballgames in different ways," Hinch said. "Hitting big ball, small ball, pitching, coming from behind, hanging in games for 27 outs. I'm not sure we needed this series to build off of.
"I just think it's another reinforcement for us. We can win today's game, we can beat good teams and beat good pitching. When you play winning baseball, you win games. We have a long way to go, but I feel good where we're at."
The walk-off bunt was the first for the Tigers since John Hicks did it in 2018 with what was ruled a bunt single. It was the first true sacrifice bunt walk-off by the club since 1977.
"We talked to Robbie before the at-bat about bunting," Hinch said. "There were a lot of scenarios that were going to be in play as long as (Jonathan) Schoop got Baddoo to third (which he did with a grounder to the right side). It was a good enough bunt and speed never slumps."
So much of what the Tigers do this year is in the name of development and professional growth and Baddoo is at the heart of a lot of it. Go to the bottom of the seventh.
They were down 1-0 and had two runners on with two outs. Astros manager Dusty Baker summoned lefty Brooks Raley to face Baddoo, a left-handed hitter who was just 3 for 27 in his career against lefties.
Sound, logical move.
Hinch had both Miguel Cabrera and Eric Haase, right-handed hitters, available to pinch-hit, but he stuck with Baddoo. Unconventional move.
"I want to keep finding ways to challenge him and hitting lefties is the next area of development for him," Hinch said before the game.
Challenge accepted. Baddoo dunked a single into right field, scoring Willi Castro from second, tying the game.
"We're trying to build a dude," Hinch said. "We're trying to get him comfortable and get him to be a staple in this lineup. We have sprinkled in at-bats for him against left-handers this season and he was going to get a breaking ball from Raley.
"He's going to battle. Experience is all he lacks against left-handed pitching."
Plus, Hinch said, it was still early in the game and he might need Haase or Cabrera in the ninth.
"For me it was hang with him, believe in him, trust him — and he came up big," Hinch said.
And speaking of growth. Rookie lefty Tarik Skubal may have had his coming-of-age performance Sunday, allowing a run and a hit over seven innings.
"He was the tone-setter for the day," Hinch said. "That was the best he's thrown against the best team he's pitched against. That was nice to see."
The only blemishes on his outing Sunday were self-inflicted — walked three, hit a couple. The only run he allowed in seven innings came without the benefit of a hit. His fastball was ringing 98 mph on the radar gun. His slider, changeup and curveball were generating swings and misses and keeping the hitters off-balance and off his two-seam and four-seam fastballs.
He finished with nine strikeouts (all swinging) — against an Astros team whose 18.8% strikeout rate is the lowest in baseball. He had 21 misses on 44 swings.
"I just like to compete and I like to compete against the best," Skubal said. "I just love that. I don't know if it's rising to the occasion or anything like that. I just like to compete. I was excited about going up against the Astros today."
The Astros, even without one of their stars (injured Alex Bregman), are the best-hitting team in baseball against left-handed pitching. They lead the majors in average (.291), on-base percentage (.357), slugging (.452) and OPS (.816) against southpaws.
And for seven innings, Skubal locked them up.
"I know they have the best offense in the league," Skubal said. "But the White Sox have the same type of thing and I've pitched against them twice. They really handle left-handed pitching well. So I stuck to the same approach of getting into the zone and beating them in the zone."
Skubal hasn't allowed more than three runs now in eight straight starts. He's got 63 strikeouts in his last 44.2 innings.
"Growing up in front of our eyes," Grossman said when asked about the growth of Baddoo and Skubal. "We're seeing the maturation of a big league baseball player. And look at Skubal: He's getting better every time he goes out there and he works his butt off every day he's not pitching.
"It's exciting to see. As a Detroit fan, you have to be excited about that."

Previously, we showed that mutations to methyl-directed mismatch repair proteins of Escherichia coli reduce the occurrence of large deletions from long (CTG.CAG) repeats contained on plasmids (Jaworski et al., 1995). By contrast, mutations to the mismatch repair proteins increase the frequency of small length changes (insertions and deletions) to DNA triplet repeats (Schumacher et al., 1998; Wells et al., 1998). Using plasmids with a variety of lengths and purity of (CTG.CAG) repeats, we have resolved these apparently conflicting observations. We show that all lengths of (CTG.CAG) repeats are subject to small length changes (<8 triplet repeats) upon inactivation of the mismatch repair pathway. However, large deletions (>8 triplet repeats) in (CTG.CAG)n occur more readily in cells with active mismatch repair. The incidence of large deletions is proportional to the tract length and they become prominent in tracts greater than 80 repeats. Interruptions to repeat purity enhance the occurrence of largedeletions. In addition, we observed a high frequency of deletions in (CTG.CAG) repeats for cultures passing repeatedly through stationary phase during long-term growth experiments of all strains (i.e. with active or inactive mismatch repair). Transcription into (CTG.CAG)175 can increase the observed frequency of largedeletions in the repeat (Bowater et al., 1997) and we observed that this occurs independently of the mismatch repair pathway. These results fit with current theories of mismatch repair acting on DNA slippage events that occur within the DNA triplet repeats.

This paper focuses on the functional variable of educational content with an aim to analysing the incidence of said variable on the learning process and at the same time offer guidelines for its integration within the curricula. The question has been approached from a constructivist perspective, clearly revealing that learning to think requires the assimilation of metacognitive strategies and abilities regarding the processes of social interaction. Cognition, with affective and behaviour-related aspects composing its central core, is regarded as being the driving force behind said processes. The diadic relationships which occur within these processes affect all of those involved -teachers and pupils- creating a set series of responsibilities as regards establishing a relevant integration of «what» and «how» to teach and learn, a question which leads to an analysis of the double perspective from which said integration can be facilitated: - from the perspective of educational action, based on the «help» -conceptional and operational scaffolding- supplied by the teacher. - from the perspective of educational activity, based on the actions and operations carried out by the individual during his process of learning. In the of both perspectives, process «standards» are offered together with a compendium of educational techniques directed towards implementing three key aspects: the self-adjustment of learning, the construction of «meanings» and the «profound» processing of information.


On the morning of January 26th, 2014, the Statistics Bureau of Nanning and Nanning Survey Team of the National Bureau of Statistics published 2013 Nanning economic operation situation. In 2013, Nanning's GDP grew by 10.3% on a year-on-year basis; the major economic indicators including GDP, fiscal income, industrial production, fixed asset investment, and the total retail sales of social consumer goods all saw a two digit growth; and the economic operation generally maintained a steady tendency.
Through the ups and downs of the figures of the whole year of 2013, it is not difficult for us to see that in 2013, Nanning's economic development presented a good momentum of progress while stable. According to a preliminary calculation, Nanning's GDP in 2013 reached 280.354 billion yuan, and calculated at comparable prices, the rise was 10.3% on a year-on-year basis, 2.6 percentage points higher than that of China and 0.1 percentage points higher than that of Guangxi. The proportion of the three industries in the economy was changed from 12.90 : 38.38 : 48.72 in 2013 to 12.48 : 39.62 : 47.90 now, thus further optimizing the economic structure of Nanning.
For the industrial sector which plays a main role in economy, in 2013 the industrial production value by 968 enterprises above the designated scale in Nanning was 255.475 billion yuan, a rise of 20.63%.
Last year's key note of economic operation is "restructuring and improving quality". Mr. Hong Ben, vice-director of the Statistics Bureau of Nanning expressed that there were three remarkable features in industry. The first feature was that Nanning's five major industries: agricultural and sideline products processing industry, computer and communications electronics, chemical materials, non-metallic manufacturing industry, and paper-making industry continued to maintain a fast growth, accounting for 47% of Nanning's total output value.
The second was in the previous years, the economic growth depended mainly on external growth, that is, expansion of production and increase of some production lines, but in the last year, the growth of the industrial enterprises was based on mainly internal growth by restructuring. Nanning's economy in the year kept a fast growth rate while restructuring.
The third feature was the effect of the reversed transmission mechanism of energy-saving and reduction of emission was quite obvious. For instance, there had been a lot of starch plants in Wuming County, but the number was reduced at the end of 2013; there were a lot of small paper-making factories, and small tanneries in Binyang County, but now they are all closed. As a result, by controlling some enterprises of high energy consumption and pollution and restructuring of the industries and production capacity, the whole industrial level is optimized.
In the meantime, the urban and rural residents' income keeps a steady growth and more and more citizens' "purses" are expanding. In the past year, the urban residents' per capita disposable income of Nanning was 24,817 yuan, ranking first among the 14 prefecture-level cities in Guangxi. The income was 2,256 yuan more than that of 2012, an increase by 10.00%, and the increase ranked fourth among 14 cities of Guangxi, an actual growth of 7.7% after deducting the price increase. Qingxiu District ranked highest in the urban residents' per capita disposable income, amounting to 31,492 yuan, and Jiangnan District saw the fastest growth rate, up by 10.8% on a year-on-year basis.
The statistics shows that in 2013, the rural residents' per capita disposable income of Nanning was 7,685 yuan, ranking seventh among the 14 prefecture-level cities in Guangxi; the income was 908 yuan more than that of 2012, an increase by 13.40%, and the actual growth was 10.7% after deducting the price increase. Wuming ranked highest in the rural residents' per capita disposable income, amounting to 9,042 yuan, and Xingning District saw the fastest growth rate, up by 14% on a year-on-year basis.
In terms of CPI which the citizens are concerned, Nanning's CPI rose moderately in 2013, an increase of 2.1% and 0.8 percentage less than that of 2012's 2.9%, and generally speaking, the price rise showed a tendency of low in the middle while high at both ends. The CPI was 0.6 percentage points lower than that of the national average and ranked 35th together with Harbin among 36 large and medium cities in China; and the CPI was 0.1 percentage points lower than that of Guangxi's average, ranking 7th together with Qinzhou City among 14 prefecture-level cities in Guangxi.
As for the house prices, the housing sales price was rising stably. The statistics showed that in 2013, Nanning's new commercial housing price kept rising for 11 consecutive months. In December, 2013, of 70 large and medium cities in China, the rise of Nanning's new commercial housing price ranked 26th among 65 housing-price-rising cities in China on a month-on-month basis and ranked 26th among 69 housing-price-rising cities in China on a year-on-year basis. Among 70 large and medium cities in China, the rise of the second-hand housing price of Nanning ranked 36th and 11th respectively on a month-on-month basis and a year-on-year basis.
In investment and consumption, in 2014, Nanning's fixed assets investment reached 247.501 billion yuan, a rise by 23.40%, and the total retail sales of social consumer goods of Nanning amounted to 145.084 billion yuan, a rise by 14.01%, with rural residents' consumption growth faster than that of the urban residents. The pulling effect of the seven categories of commodities was strong. The total retail sales of traditional Chinese and western medicines, gold and silver and jewelry, cereals and edible oils and foodstuffs, furniture, cosmetics, oil and products, and automobiles was 46.065 billion yuan, up by 25.2%, pushing up the retail sales of consumer goods above the limited amount by 17.4 percentage points.
"The main force for the fixed assets investment growth in Nanning still lies in the infrastructure construction, in which the private investment acts the main part", said Mr. Hong Ben. In 2013 the proportion of investment in infrastructure construction of Nanning accounted for 44.84% of the social fixed assets investment. Of the total investment, the private investment was the main part, taking up 61.12% and pushing up the investment growth by 17.68 percentage points. It can be seen that in the past the state investment was the leading part, but the change in 2013 was very obvious, in which the private investment was the main part.
In the meanwhile, the readjustment of real estate was quite obvious, and the investment in the residence of over 144 square meters, and villas and high-grade apartments was declining remarkably, decreasing by 32.88% and 32.01% respectively. The feature also found in the sales, and in 2013, the sales area of the residence of over 144 square meters fell by 9.27%.
"In 2013, there exists another remarkable feature: thrift becomes the trend in the whole society". The sales volume of the large restaurants was reduced by 6.3% on year-on-year basis. To the whole consumption market, the medium and lower-level consumption, and the consumption of the common people was the main trend. As affected by these factors, the growth rate of the sales of tobacco and wines was reduced by 7.7 percentage points on year-on-year basis.

On January 31, about fifteen young people went out to a protest action in Makhachkala. Most of them explained their activeness not by support of Alexei Navalny, but by dissatisfaction with the authorities' policies.
The "Caucasian Knot" has reported that on January 31, actions of Navalny's supporters were held in many regions of Russia, including cities of the country's south: Astrakhan, Volgograd, Krasnodar, Rostov-on-Don, Sochi and Stavropol. According to eyewitnesses, at the venues of unsanctioned actions, not only activists were detained, but also journalists and passers-by.
Makhachkala was not listed in the website of the Navalny's team as a city where the actions had been scheduled, but young people gathered in the central square in groups of 2-3 persons. None of them had posters with them; and they did not chant any slogans.
Khava Magomedova, a resident of Dagestan, told the "Caucasian Knot" correspondent that she had come out to the square to "support all the people who fell victim to unfair treatment" by the state and law enforcers. "I didn't come for Navalny. I don't get into politics at all. But when it comes to fair treatment of my people, the Dagestanis, I can't stay aside. We have a lot of those who had suffered from injustice. Therefore, I want them to know that they are supported, there are those who stand up for their rights," Khava has explained.
Almost none of the young people interviewed by the "Caucasian Knot" correspondent said that they had come to the square to support Alexei Navalny. They noted that they had come out for the "change of power", "for themselves and their own rights."
