Q: AngularJS yo grunt serve problems resolving templates I swapped to yo angular to help with my SPA. In the most part it works fine. I had to update a lot of packages and in some places remove depreciated versions.
The problem I have now is that while using grunt serve there are a few references that are either missing or pointing to the wrong directory.
The first one of these is my custom datepicker control template. It overrides the bootstrap version with my own. Like I have mentioned, when built and deployed it works fine, but when testing it uses the default bootstrap template.
The second issue is with font-awesome. Same issue, when built and deployed it works fine. But when testing it doesn't find the files.
My Grunt file looks like this:
// Generated on 2017-12-03 using generator-angular 0.16.0
'use strict';

// # Globbing
// for performance reasons we're only matching one level down:
// 'test/spec/{,*/}*.js'
// use this if you want to recursively match all subfolders:
// 'test/spec/**/*.js'

module.exports = function (grunt) {

  // Time how long tasks take. Can help when optimizing build times
  require('time-grunt')(grunt);

  // Automatically load required Grunt tasks
  require('jit-grunt')(grunt, {
    useminPrepare: 'grunt-usemin',
    ngtemplates: 'grunt-angular-templates',
    cdnify: 'grunt-google-cdn'

  // Configurable paths for the application
  var appConfig = {
    app: require('./bower.json').appPath || 'app',
    dist: 'dist'
  };

  var modRewrite = require('connect-modrewrite');
  var serveStatic = require('serve-static');

  // Define the configuration for all the tasks
  grunt.initConfig({

    // Project settings
    yeoman: appConfig,

    // Watches files for changes and runs tasks based on the changed files
    watch: {
      bower: {
        files: ['bower.json'],

  grunt.registerTask('default', [
    'newer:jshint',
    'newer:jscs',
    'test',
    'build'
  ]);
};

And my source index.html file looks like this:
<!doctype html>

  <meta charset="utf-8">
  <title ng-bind="'Sapphire | ' + $state.current.data.pageTitle"></title>
  <meta name="description" content="">
  <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1, maximum-scale=1, user-scalable=0" />
  <base href="/">

  <link rel="stylesheet" href="styles/core.css" />
  <link rel="stylesheet" href="styles/print.css" />

        </script>.

As I am new to the angular generator, there have been some issues getting things to work, but like i have mentioned most of it is fine.
I know there is a lot of code there but I am hoping that someone has had a similar issue and know exactly what the solution is.

Conan. Dude, I love that guy. Watching his last show was hard to do. You see somebody so good at what they do and you watch it get thrown away, it's just sad. Like so many things in this world, you see something great unrecognized and wasted.
Sure, he's not Beethoven or anything, he's just a funny dude who is worth a ton of money, but to see a man handed his dream and then crushed, no matter the circumstances, is and should be painful to watch.
However, that last few minutes with the pseudo-all star band playing "Free Bird"? It was odd, no doubt, and felt like it wasted some precious time, but when Conan, who is NOT a lead guitar player started taking solos, I started crying. The ZZ Top dude looks at this 45-year old gangly redhead who just got publicly humiliated and gives him the nod, the sound guy turns it up, and this guy, holding back tears, just goes for it!
No one needs to tell me that playing a guitar solo is a holy moment. Few things in life are more spiritual, more honest or more fun. My perspective on this may not be universal, but just watching this guy miss notes left and right, bad tone, no phrasing, going out in his own bizarre blaze of glory? How can you not love that?
I ask you, America! How can you not love that!?
I loved it, anyway. Obviously.
And I feel about Conan like I felt about so many bands I loved, who were truly great, and were misunderstood and cast aside for something that would make a company more money. I feel this peculiar sense of longing.
I've been cynical, and he's right, it's a waste of time. I don't want to be cynical. I want to believe that there will come a day when the people who really put themselves out there, exploring their craft and their heart to the best that they can, will be embraced and celebrated. I want to believe there will come a day when we will all "get" the misunderstood genius and all enjoy the catchy pop hook with the same level of holy intentionality.
I saw in the last few nights of that show what I feel when I hear Achtung Baby or A Liturgy, A Legacy, and a Ragamuffin Band. I saw what I felt the last few shows we played as The Normals (not necessarily because we were so great but because of how fully "present" we were in those moments). I saw a glimpse of the divine that is so precious and so true that it reinforces my belief in a Holy God.
But let's make it perfectly clear… the Normals were (and are) so great!!
Wow, Andrew. Thanks for this. Please post more often. I just watched Conan's farewell speech (couldn't find the guitar solo online); it truly was remarkable and wise. If anybody has a link to the guitar solo, I'd love to see it.
The last week of Conan was in fuego. He was in he zone and performances like that- although it was his final moments are what makes things worth watching and in this case probably great enough to say that Conan's finest hour is before him.
Jonathan, you can watch the entire last episode on NBC's website. You could just skip to the end to watch the final segment if you wish.
Of course. Thanks, JC. Why didn't I think of that?
Here, here! Andy O – I was thinking the same thing! Dude did not CARE! He was just going for it with his pick of legends on the stage while Will Ferrell and his wife (who had her baby hours later) were mopping tonsils just to his left. It was pure chaos with Conan as the chaostrator getting lost in string bending bliss.
I was totally weirded out and loving it at the same time.
That last week of shows was brilliant. And this song, besides everything Andy said above, was comedy gold if for no other reason than this: Will Ferrell. Cowbell.
Ray P – "his final moments are what makes things worth watching." I was thinking about this too and was reminded of this article by Billy Crockett in the Blue Rock Review called "Thresholds". In it Billy talks about the importance of beginnings and endings and why artists often choose to live on the edges. It's an excellent read if you have a few moments.
Totally agree, Andrew. While he's reflects a different generation, Conan is much closer to Carson's performance genius that Leno or Letterman will ever be. While I too cringed listening to the solo, it was almost like parents watching their kid in a school play. All these virtuoso musicians around him didn't care how well he played–he was family, and one of their own. And Stephen was right. The ultimate tribute had to be more cowbell from Mr. Ferrell.
Chad Ethridge- Thanks for the response and article. Those are some relevant thoughts!

Three-Star Running Back Marcus Crowley Flips Commitment From Miami To Ohio State
By Derrick Webb on November 4, 2018 at 3:43 pm
OSU Football Recruiting
Marcus Crowley must've liked what he saw Saturday afternoon.
On his first visit to Columbus, the three-star running back out of Trinity Christian High School (Jacksonville, Fla.) spent the day watching Ohio State beat Nebraska by a 36-31 final and then had a lengthy conversation with running backs coach Tony Alford — who visited Crowley in the Sunshine State during the Buckeyes' bye week.
He also must've liked what he heard.
The Crowley File
Class: 2019
Size: 6-foot-1, 200 pounds
Pos: RB
School: Trinity Christian (Jacksonville, FL)
Composite Rating: ★★★
Composite Rank: 35 (RB)
Crowley announced Sunday that he had decided to flip his commitment from Miami (FL) to Ohio State. He originally committed to the Hurricanes on Dec. 6, 2017.
He becomes the 15th member of Ohio State's '19 Dynasty recruiting class, taking the place of running back Sampson James, who decommitted from the class on Oct. 7 and flipped to Indiana. When James flipped, Alford immediately reached out to Crowley.
Crowley joins Steele Chambers (Roswell, Ga.) in 2019's crop of running backs, though the Georgia native could potentially play linebacker at the next level. The Jacksonville native hails from the same school as Buckeye defensive backs Shaun Wade and Tyreke Johnson.

The Buckeyes had zeroed in on a handful of tailbacks including Deondrick Glass and IMG Academy's Noah Cain. Glass was also on campus this weekend and Cain has been planning to visit for the Michigan game, but it certainly seems that Tony Alford now has his guy for 2019.
At 6-foot-1, 200 pound, Crowley is ranked as the 77th-best overall prospect in the state of Florida and the 35th-best running back in the nation. He has rushed the football 151 times this season for 1,550 yards and 20 scores.
Eleven Warriors will have more on his pledge shortly.

NBA Basketball: The 'nickname' of the game
October 22, 2013 Skylar Smith	0 Comments
With the NBA regular season just weeks away, players and coaches throughout the league are preparing mentally and physically to put their teams into championship contention. The league attitude is filled with focus and determination, with no more room for fun and games.
Players coming back from injuries are doing all they can to reach 100 percent, and other players are shaping their skills and bodies in order to compete at their highest level.
Trades and free agent acquisitions made this offseason have both the NBA and its fans anxious to get the season underway.
Recently, the NBA decided to lighten up the mood a bit. Though the full plan has not been officially announced, the NBA has brought up the idea of allowing the Miami Heat and Brooklyn Nets to wear nicknames on the backs of their jerseys during one of their four regular season meetings this year.
It is unknown if this trend will follow into any other games, but it should be interesting to watch these players' backs in this Eastern Conference powerhouse matchup.
From the outset, the idea to let players wear nicknames on their jerseys has been met with criticism. When asked about the proposal, Phoenix Suns point guard Kendall Marshall said, "The nickname makes it more about the individual. It's still a team sport. Represent your team, your family, and go out there and play."
Marshall does seem to have a good point; putting nicknames on the backs of players' jerseys will definitely add to the attention surrounding the game, and might get the players a few more looks from the camera man, which isn't necessarily a bad thing for the NBA.
As the attention toward the players grows, so do ticket sales, jersey sales and television deals.
Regardless of how the critics may feel about the idea overall, the NBA has undoubtedly picked the right game to test out their idea.
The star-stacked rosters are filled with many prestigious, interesting and comical nicknames. As you can expect, four-time NBA MVP LeBron James is expected to wear "King James."
Dwyane Wade has yet to choose from his array of alter egos of "Flash," "WoW" and "Three," a nickname for his jersey number and championship tally.
Brooklyn's Paul Pierce is going to wear "The Truth," a nickname given to him by Shaquille O'Neal years ago.
Nets' power forward Kevin Garnett will go by "The Big Ticket."
Heat guard Mario Chalmers will likely be titled "Super Mario" and if it were not for copyright issues, Shane Battier would have sported "Batman" on the back of his jersey.
Jokes have even been tossed around that Chris Bosh should rock "Boshtrich" because of his commonly mocked appearance that is believed to be similar to an ostrich or bird-like creature.
So, maybe nicknames aren't always the most flattering. No matter what these players have stitched on their backs when they hit the court, it's difficult to see how it negatively affects the "team" aspect of the game.
The players will more than likely enter the locker room, have a few laughs while showing off their new titles to one another, then put their jerseys on and not look back again at the nicknames once they've hit the hardwood.
After all, the names are on the back of their jerseys, so we shouldn't have to worry about players stopping midgame to admire themselves.
All jokes aside, implementing nicknames for one game shouldn't affect the "team first" mentality.
In regard to Marshall's comments, I think it is clear that LeBron James wearing "King James" on his jersey will not separate the attention surrounding him from the attention surrounding Heat center Joel Anthony any more than it would in any other game.
The superstars of the matchup will receive more attention than the supporting casts, but not due to the nicknames, that's just how the superstar-driven NBA works.
The best part about this unusual idea is that using nicknames should not affect the outcome of the game in any way, unless the four extra letters on LeBron's jersey slow him down—but we can assume that isn't likely. The players will play the game like it is any other, and the additional hype added by the nicknames might even intensify the competition.
Still, it is understandable that some people feel that the nicknames are disrespectful to the players' families because they are not wearing the family name.
While it makes sense to find this disrespectful, we have to understand that this is only one game, and players have the option to not wear a nickname.
In a time of seriousness, the NBA has attempted to spice up the game for the fans, and I certainly appreciate the effort.

©2006 National Park Services Cleveland Peak presides over the Great Sand Dunes.
Great Sand Dunes National Park's dunes are the product of competing elements: wind and water. Winds of more than 13 miles per hour from the southwest and northeast shake loose available sand, blowing it into one of three deposits in the valley: the cementlike sabkha, the outer sand sheet, and the inner dunefield (home of the biggest dunes).
Medrano and Sand creeks also carry sand from the dunefield's north and east borders, transporting it back to where the wind can blow it into the heart of the dunes. All in all, the dunes contain nearly five billion cubic meters of sand.
Above the dunes, the park and preserve also include a parcel of alpine tundra, complete with a number of lakes, and six peaks over 13,000 feet in elevation. The forests here, populated by spruce, pine, aspen, and cottonwood, are bordered by grasslands and wetlands, making good habitat for a wide variety of life.
The park's animal residents include mule deer, elk, coyotes, and bald eagles; bison graze on the adjacent grassland. A number of insect species found in the dunes, such as the Great Sand Dunes tiger beetle and the giant sand treader camel cricket, live nowhere else on Earth.
Hiking in the dunes is well worth the effort because of the amazing views, with the summit of High Dune offering the best panorama. For visitors with more time to spend, there are also plenty of hiking trails in the surrounding wilderness. Below, we list some of the best places to practice the art of photography.
High Dune: Although not the highest dune in the park, High Dune is the tallest dune visible from the visitor center, offering a 650-foot elevation boost. There are no trails to reach the top, so motivated hikers follow the ridge lines, zigzagging to the summit. A sweeping view over the sand dunes awaits those who make the climb.
Mosca Pass Trail: Stealthy hikers may observe weasels, pine martens, mountain lions, red foxes, or black bears. The path follows Mosca Creek through pinon-juniper woodlands, aspen groves, grassy meadows, and spruce-fir forest.
Zapata Falls: The 30-foot Zapata Falls pour from a rock crevasse into a pool of icy water. This is a particularly good excursion for a hot summer day, as the trail to the falls passes through a stream (wading is required). From the Zapata Falls alcove, hikers are rewarded with clear views of the Great Sand Dunes, San Juan Mountains, Sangre de Cristo Mountains, and San Luis Valley.
Music Pass: It's a steep 3.5-mile climb from the lower parking lot to Music Pass, but the panoramic views are spectacular. Depending on the direction you face, you'll see the Tijeras and Cleveland peaks, Music Mountain, Wet Mountain Valley and upper Sand Creek Valley.
There are a variety of activites for visitors to enjoy, including sand-castle building in the endless hills of sand. But where did all this sand come from, and how do the dunes assume their unusual shapes? To learn about the formation of these sand dunes, go to the next page.

"Bottoms Up" was a plein air Maine Lobster boat watercolor which was quickly sketched and washes applied in those areas of moving tides. Boat position was important and low tide stuff blocked out, then background dock and islands painted to create the overall composition. I was painting on Great Spruce Head Island in Penobscot Bay one summer with 10 other artists and my friend Tom, the caretaker who set out lobster traps every day.

Q: Python: Pseudo-random color from a string I am doing some data visualization with Python in Blender and I need to assign colors to the data being represented. There is too much data to spend time hand-picking colors for each, so I want to generate the colors pseudo-randomly - I would like a given string to always result in the same color. That way, if it appears more than once, it will be clear that it is the same item.
For example, given a list like ['Moose', 'Frog', 'Your Mother'], let's say Moose would always be maroon.
The colors are specified in RGB, where each channel is a float from 0.0 to 1.0.
Here's what I've tried so far that isn't working:
import random
import hashlib

def norm(x, min, max): # this normalization function has a problem
    normalized = ( x - min(x) ) / (max(x) - min(x) )
    return normalized

def r(string, val):
    h = hash(string)
    print(h)
    if h < 0:
        h = h * -1
    rs = random.seed( int(h) + int(val) )
    output = norm(rs, 0.0, 1.0)
    return output

my_list = ['Moose', 'Frog', 'Your Mother']
item = my_list[0]

color = [ r(item,1), r(item,2), (item,1) ]
print(color)

It results in TypeError: 'float' object is not callable but I don't know why. I'm trying to normalize the way this answer demonstrates.
It might be best to have a list of possible colors, as it allows for control over the palette. Either way, I need a pseudo-random float in the range of 0.0 ~ 0.1.

A: You can try with this function. It returns a rgb value for the name by using the 3 first letters.
def name_color(name):
    color = [(ord(c.lower())-97)*8 for c in name[:3]]
    return color

A: It turns out I didn't need to normalize or do anything fancy. random() returns a range between 0.0 ~ 1.0 as it is. I just needed to take a closer look at how random.seed() is supposed to be used.
Here's my solution:
import random
import hashlib

def r(string, int): # pseudo-randomization function
    h = hash( string + str(int) ) # hash string and int together
    if h < 0: # ensure positive number
        h = h * -1
    random.seed(h) # set the seed to use for randomization
    output = random.random() # produce random value in range 0.0 ~ 1.0
    output = round(output, 6) # round to 6 decimal places (optional)
    return output

my_list = ['Toyota', 'Tesla', 'Mercedes-Benz']
item = my_list[0] # choose which list item

color = [ r(item,0), r(item,1), r(item,2) ] # R,G,B values
print(item, color)

Output: Toyota [0.049121, 0.383824, 0.635146]
I may try the list approach later.

Sustainable Meetings Through Renewable Concepts
By Refugio Garcia January 9, 2023
Tips and methods for producing greener events
Sustainability is now required at meetings as attendees are demanding an environmentally conscious event. Curbing pollutants has become part of the meeting professional job description, but how does one do so at in-person and virtual events in a meaningful and cost-effective way? Partnering with event technology and destination experts can help cut through the green myths by taking an action-oriented, big-picture approach.
The Issue with Virtual Events
It's easy to assume that meeting remotely is the more sustainable counterpart to in-person meetings, but what about the energy required to power the massive server farms that enable the technology? It turns out that that method of meeting isn't as environmentally friendly as we'd all like to assume, according to a sustainable event guide produced by Universite Concordia University Montreal. The report states that "the climatic impact of virtual components of events are not trivial." In fact, approximately 4% of greenhouse gasses in 2019 were caused by "infrastructure, equipment and data centers that allow our digital activity," exceeding that of global waste disposal by double.
This is the result of a dramatic increase in video conferencing and the amount of electricity required to store and send it around the globe. While in-person meetings have been returning in force since 2022, hybrid and remote meetings will likely be a fixture in the meeting landscape indefinitely, but there are some simple methods for reducing the carbon footprint created by remote and hybrid technologies.
Request that virtual attendees turn off their cameras when not presenting or interacting with other participants
Use a cloud-based service when sending documents or videos
Include a short note in the signature line asking the recipient to delete the message after reading to eliminate unnecessary digital storage.
These measures aren't likely to save the polar ice caps, but they're small steps in the right direction.
Being mindful of the pitfalls of seemingly harmless technologies (ones that we've become helplessly dependent on) is a great start and helpful for educating attendees and demonstrating a concerted effort to combat climate change, but the big picture requires so much more—and let's face it—it's often difficult to know where to start.
Eco-friendly Designs Take Shape
Bluewater Technologies Group operates with the mission to provide planners with sustainable solutions across the board when curating an event. First launched in a garage as "Bluewater Visual Services" in 1985 by two brothers who set up TVs and VCRs for local companies, Bluewater Technologies Inc. has since blossomed into a full-service AV and staging service focused on providing clients with sustainable solutions.
Bluewater Managing Partner Scott Schoenberger suggests that planners consider the following when producing sustainable events:
Intent—all parties involved, including the event team and stakeholders must be on board
Planning—create a strategy focused on making sustainability the guiding principle by deciding which format (in-person, hybrid or virtual) is the best option for an event and being mindful and asking questions of the technical team
Design—including what the stage set is, the location of the event venue, what materials will be printed and what technologies will be used
"[Sustainability] has definitely become part of our DNA over the last 10-15 years," says Schoenberger. "When we go about designing a show, we always design with a reasonable infrastructure first." Schoenberger notes that industry standards such as shifting from incandescent lighting to LEDs, along with other types of more sustainable hardware, have aided in reducing the carbon footprint of larger events and tradeshows. "If you want to be sustainable, there needs to be intent to start with in mind as you're planning and as you're designing," Schoenberger suggests planners select pieces made from materials with a clear path to a second life.
Visual displays and other fixtures are important aspects of the design of an event but selecting pieces and hardware to create displays can be done in a sustainable fashion if there's an effort to select reusable parts during the fabrication phase. "We always look to use reusable pieces and hardware," he says. The same intentionality can be applied to signage. "Wherever we can use a digital display, we will do that over a printed piece," he says, adding, "The cost of technology is coming down to the point where this is becoming a viable option for many brands and businesses."
Some of these technologies can have multiple purposes, Schoenberger says, including LED walls that in some cases won't be used to display any graphics at all, but can be used as a set piece that can be taken down and reused during other events. An even more aggressive strategy in sustainability can include the exact color of lights used in displays, opting to exclude white LEDs due to the increased amount of energy needed to produce that spectrum of light.
While virtual events are not free of creating carbon emissions, Schoenberger suggests that planners consider hybrid or virtual events to offset the carbon emissions produced by extended air travel due to the location of a proposed host city.
Civil Sustainability
Local destination organizations have begun pitching in on the effort to assist in the curation of sustainable meetings as well. Visit Oceanside in California is spearheading the first sustainable master plan in the state following the criteria provided by the Global Sustainable Tourism Council (GSTC). The blueprint of the new sustainability plan follows a 10-year roadmap with the goal of ushering in sustainable growth in tourism for the San Diego County-based destination, placing an emphasis on benefitting the economy, environment, residents and visitors.
"Over the last 10 years, Oceanside has realized so much of its potential as a visitor destination, and our goal is to nurture future progress in a way that continues to impact the community for good," according to Visit Oceanside CEO Leslee Gaul. "This process is really a reflection of our love for this city and our desire for it to thrive for many years to come."
Visit Oceanside's Sustainable Tourism Master Plan aims to achieve four specific goals to support a sustainable future for the destination with an initial phase of conducting a sustainability assessment, destination assessment, competitive analysis and stakeholder engagement, according to an announcement released in early January.
Bringing the goals outlined in the Sustainable Tourism Master Plan to fruition through a collaboration between Visit Oceanside and the City of Oceanside will likely ensure an elevated meetings experience for attendees that will boost the local economy, preserve the quality of life of residents and protect the environment. Planners can take advantage of Oceanside's wide variety of meeting facilities, lodging options and a fantastic selection of activities, while actively contributing to a sustainable future—all on the beautiful California coast.
"The pandemic shed a light on the importance of a holistic approach to tourism that balances economic benefit with quality of life for residents and health of the destination," Gaul said. "We are proud that Oceanside has not only taken a lead in formalizing this effort, but also committed to measuring our future product development, policies and achievements against the leading standard for sustainability in the world."

Literal meaning of a one man army.
by Christian White
in PC, Video
My name is not important, what is important is what I'm going to do. I just fucking hate this world and the human worms feasting on it's carcass.
Hello everyone, and welcome back to XNVR reviews. Today… I'm talking about a game, that after I first played it, I was not entirely sure if I actually wanted to do a video, but at the same time, I thought it was worth it. This is Hatred, I must say I did not really enjoy this game, maybe it just wasn't for me. But I just found it to be, slightly off. That's not to say that there was anything particularly, poor about the game in terms of quality; The graphics, the visual art style, the soundtrack, you know, even down to the controls. Everything moved smoothly, I didn't find any bugs to speak of, but the subject matter that was the problem, I think, with this one.
This game when if first released, attained a certain amount of infamy and it's kinda easy to see why. You play the role of a nameless psychopath, someone who has decided that the human race shouldn't be around, himself included and has taken it upon himself to rid the world of this infestation. If I'm totally honest, I think this is really the only flaw in the game. Because when you think about it, we play things all the time, where the object is to kill, maim, disfigure… doing terrible things, but there is always the fact that you are doing this to aliens, or robots, or demons, or other combatants.
But in this, the object of the game, is to keep yourself heavily armed and killing as many innocent civilians as you can, and this really did not sit well with me. I just thought, "You know what, this is a bit too close to the knuckle, this… this was a poor decision." Had the game developers chosen to tweak it a little bit, make the guy maybe someone who is always seen as a ehh… crackpot or a conspiracy theorist. Saying that the entire world was being taken over by robots, or aliens or… creachers from the underworld. Something like that, and that he'd finally been proved right, he found evidence and now he was going to set things right, and that was actually the case.
He starts killing all these and… Yep. He was right, they're robots or they're demons or they're something other than normal human people. I just couldn't bring myself to really like this game no matter how well put together it was. Hatred is a prime example of having the talent but not the common sense. And that's kinda been reflected in the games sales and price on steam. I actually picked this up on sale, I think it was… £1. And I've got to say, I'm not even happy with the fact that I payed that. Again, not dissing the game developers for their technical ability, the game as I said turned out very well. It's just that the subject matter needs a change.
If they had made this game, with some other form of acceptable enemy then this could have actually done really, really well and instead of achieving the infamy that it once had, it might have actually become somewhat of a commercial success. Would I advise you to buy this game? Probably not, unless you know, you are a bit of a sick puppy. But as I just…I really cannot condone this sort of behaviour in games development. Not because I find it hideously offencive, I just think, "You know what, it's a little bit irresponsible." I am not one of those people who thinks that violent video games make people do violent things. No, people who are mentally disturbed, those with fragile minds are likely to do horrible things, but they are more likely to do so if they receive validation. Which is what this game would give. So in short I reckon the game developers just need to change their tact a little bit. Make a very similar game, but just change the enemies. Anyway, that really all I wanted to say, about this game, if you wanna try it out you can pick it up, but if you're anything like me, you'll probably just end the first level and kinda feel dirty and like you need to wash.

Q: I need a VBA code that after Userform enters date into a database, refreshes the cell the same way as going into it and pressing enter does I have a long chunk of code that handles date data from a hidden datasheet, however anytime I enter a new date trough a userform, it writes it into the cell in the database in a format that for some reason can't be handled error free by my code chunk.
The problem is I need a sub to change the format (which is easy) but it does not actually apply the formatting unless I manually go into the datasheet, enter the cell and press enter.
I have searched and could not find a solution on how to do this in VBA, obviously this code is supposed to run automatic flawlessly plenty of times and having to manually go in an enter the cell defeats the entire purpose of the programming.

I made a leg and then started to think how this leg would look with, for example, a shank, then hip, and then everything else forward. That's how it worked out. I did not know the final result, I moved from one detail to another. It's like an art, I liked it very much and I was curious myself as to how it would look in the end. I wanted to see the result and that's why I wanted to finish the work faster." VARIOUS OF SMALL WOODEN ROBOT PLACED ON TABLE WITH BALANDIN'S PHOTOGRAPHS (SOUNDBITE) (Russian) DESIGNER OF WOODEN ROBOTS FIGURES, DMITRIY BALANDIN, SAYING: "I looked at this first model (LOOKS AT FIGURE RESTING ON WALL) and realised that I could do better. That's why I started making a female robot." (REPORTER ASKING OFF CAMERAS: "How did you improve it?") "She has more detail and she has better mobility and it is visible that she is a woman (LAUGHS) that is a feminine shape, the face. The face is composed of some 120 details, just the face alone. She is more complex. It is obvious that the woman should be more beautiful than the male (robot)."

I made them for myself, so that they could be at my home. Yes, now they stand there for some time, my wife uses the second model to put hats on it, hangs something on it. It's standing in the corridor like a servant (LAUGHS) and she puts things on it. Of course, I would like to participate in some exhibitions." VARIOUS OF MALE ROBOT FIGURE IN SITTING POSITION (SOUNDBITE) (Russian) DESIGNER OF WOODEN ROBOTS FIGURES, DMITRIY BALANDIN, SAYING (SPEAKING ABOUT HIS LATEST CREATION): "The essence is that I had an idea to help people who want to walk. They have some leg injuries, but they have a potential to be rehabilitated. There are different systems, but I got interested in external skeletons which exist in different countries - Japan, United States. Various inventors work on this. So much money is invested in it, so many people work in this sphere, and the final price is so high. So I don't know when they will become available in Ukraine. And if they are available, then who will be able to afford them?" BALANDIN'S PATENT VARIOUS OF BALANDIN DEMONSTRATING HOW HIS WOODEN MODEL OF AN EXOSKELETON WORKS

Story Text: A Ukrainian engineer with a love for art featuring robots has embarked on a creative journey of building life-size wooden figures.
Dmitriy Balandin, who by day operates a crane at a factory in the eastern Ukrainian city of Zaporizhzhya, 500 km from the capital, spends all his spare time modelling figures in his home.
The engineer has created what he calls a family of flexible life-size dolls that look like robots.
Balandin has no formal training as an artist and so his intricate creations are developed as he goes along, without the help of preliminary sketches. He cuts smalls pieces of wood, models them into size before assembling them together.
It took Balandin six months to put together his first wooden robot doll, which he calls Sailon. The figure is almost 2 metres high and is composed of around 800 parts.
The construction site engineer then decided to pair Sailon with a female creation, which he calls Amazonka. Balandin said Amazonka was made in finer detail compared to his previous creation and required greater effort. The figure which has mock eyes, a nose and lips is composed of 1,000 pieces, with 120 on the face alone.
A small robot figure that represents a child sits comfortably on a table in Balandin's home, positioned near his family portraits.
Balandin hopes his creations can be featured in exhibitions around the country.


Fact: Everyone online has an opinion about everything.
Some of those folks are able to express their opinions in clear, constructive, kind ways. They're able to have robust discussions with friends on social or in the comments section, and they understand that many issues have many sides so it's easy to stay respectful of others since we're all so different from one another.
Seriously, though, trolls make up a small group. They're just so LOUD. And they're usually pretty good at isolating a personal issue and attacking, which can feel crushing… and raise our hackles.
Hard truth: Sometimes there's a grain of construction criticism or even, gasp, accuracy in the tough comment. Maybe the person's intention isn't to troll you at all. Maybe they're trying to help you. Re-read the comment after your blood stops boiling and assess from an honest place.
First, accept that there's a nugget of truth in what the person is saying, despite perhaps missing the mark on tone. Thank them for taking the time to share their critique, then figure out how to change or improve upon their point.
You can reply and defend yourself, thereby engaging the troll (aka "feeding" the troll), and keep the vitriol coming.
You can delete AND block the person.
Worth it? Usually yes, though if the person was hateful, racist, aggressive, threatening, etc., go with the delete and block option, and don't look back.
Otherwise, fight shittiness with kindess.
That's my rule! At least when it comes to my tips on how to deal with criticism online!

The body of a Dresslerville man who went into the Pine Nuts early last week to cut wood was found Sunday afternoon.
Michael McDonald, 45, was found by a group of Washoe Tribal volunteers near Double Springs, according to Tribal Police Chief Richard Varner.
More than 50 searchers worked through the weekend to locate him after he was reported missing on Friday.
According to Washoe Tribal Sgt. John Leonard, McDonald appears to have died of natural causes well before he was reported missing.
McDonald went into the mountains on Dec. 30, and was reported missing after his family hadn't heard from him.
"We entered him in as a missing person that same day," Varner said.
Searchers from Douglas, Alpine, and Washoe counties were called out to help look for McDonald.
Washoe County's RAVEN helicopter flew throughout the weekend to help look for McDonald, as did Washoe County's Air Squadron.
"We truly appreciate the assistance of Douglas County, their search and rescue team, Alpine County and their searchers, and Washoe County," Varner said.

One of the professionals that I routinely collaborate with to help students is Wendy McSparren. Wendy is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker in my area, and we complement each other's work. She will identify and treat the clinical disorders, like depression and anxiety, while I address how they can manifest in the academic realm during high school and college. Because of our synergy, I can communicate the impact of these clinical issues on the student's school work to her, and she incorporates my feedback in to the strategies that she uses for psychotherapy.
A phenomenon that Wendy and I have both seen is that there are certain factors or conditions that can begin in high school, and if not addressed, can lead to problems in college. There's a certain amount of predictability for specific factors that are present during high school which have implications for college decisions. Also, when it comes to helping college students who are doing poorly, there are many different approaches, with some being more effective than others. Wendy's answers are below.
What common types of clinical disorders do you see affect high school and college students?
As a group, college students can suffer from a variety of disorders. The traditional ages of college students, 18 to 24 years, is typically the age of onset for many adult conditions. In my practice I frequently see college students who suffer from mood disorders, such as unipolar or bipolar depression. Anxiety disorders and the manifestations of anxiety are also common. Being able to differentiate between what is the onset of an adult disorder and what arises from the stress that college students face can be a challenge.
What concerns during high school can manifest as problems later in college?
There are definitely some "risk factors" for later problems in college. One factor that can signal possible problems during college is the presence of a condition or formal disorder during high school that is not adequately treated or taken seriously for college. Some students want to downplay their condition to ensure that they get in to the school they want, only to have it arise and affect their grades once they get in. Another risk factor is the complication or further evolution of a disorder that was detected in high school. For example, a student who has depression during high school may find it gets worse as they they move in to their young adult years, or the stress of college can trigger more intense symptoms or more frequent episodes.
There are also "behavioral" factors that may or may not be part of a specific diagnosis. Many students have maladaptive coping strategies, such as avoiding or procrastination on school work because they lack confidence or it causes them anxiety. There are many forms of poor coping strategies, and these can include learning from family coping styles, drug and alcohol use, or acting out. A young adult's ability to have successful interpersonal relationships is also very important, and poor social skills is also a risk factor. To be successful later in college, students need to be able to have productive relationships with peers and adults, as well as the ability to form attachments and relate to others. One of the lesser known risk factors that I see in my practice is that of separation anxiety in childhood, which can evolve later in to social phobia, anxiety issues, panic disorder, or generalized anxiety disorder. Problems in any of these areas are known risk factors for attending college.
Do you think students can improve on their own or do they need intervention? If so, what kind?
In general, I think most will need intervention. Only in some circumstances do the problems that high school and college students face correct themselves. College-aged young adults who don't improve during high school can waste a great deal of time having to learn from their own mistakes rather than getting help from others. If they don't receive intervention during high school, students can get labeled as stupid, lazy, or bad. Intervention during high school is necessary to both prevent the emotional damage that can come with an untreated condition as well as to build a strong foundation for college success. Also, careful and specialized planning for college for these students is critical to both continue their progress and to find the right environment where they will be supported and succeed. This is definitely a key element and one of the ways that Jeff and I work together. He can help families find a college that will fit their student, arrange for accommodations, work directly with the student while they attend classes, and intervene quickly if a student's condition begins to affect their grades.
What treatment options and strategies are available for college or high school students who face problems?
There are a number of treatment options for students who are just beginning to seek help, and I strongly believe that the least intrusive efforts at intervention should be tried first. The very first effort should always be a thorough assessment of the problem, and this can take different forms. I do psychosocial evaluations that can assess the student from a holistic perspective, but I refer to colleagues for psychological, neuropsychological, or psychiatric evaluations. Second, individual psychotherapy can be used, and I've seen Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy produce good results, with the latter reaching the emotionality of many conditions. In addition, stress management, exposure therapy for anxiety, and a number of other methods can be useful. Finally, pharmacotherapy can be considered for those students who do not respond or are not appropriate for psychotherapy. Parents and students must realize that for some conditions, the combination of pharmacotherapy and psychotherapy had consistently produced good results.
Combined methods that deal with the clinical and educational aspects seem to be highly worthwhile. Using psychotherapy, pharmacotherapy if appropriate, plus academic planning and intervention can produce optimal results. Many parents seem to think "study skills" will be the key issue for a student to succeed in college, but that's only one of many factors. Especially for students with a disability, finding the right college, providing transitional support, arranging for accommodations, and using academic methods by an qualified person can often be key actions for college success. In this case, "qualified" means someone who both the understanding of academic skills but also the clinical disorders, how they can impact a student's studies, and what research-based methods can correct for the impact. This type of comprehensive and "informed" education-side effort to helping students with a disability succeed in college is what I've seen produce results, which is why I collaborate with Jeff to help students.

Peyton Manning is Overrated! Lebron James is Underrated! Yeah He's From Cleveland.
Our good buddy 10-4, Wayne joins us. I'll warn you, he's a Cleveland-ian so like his town's sports history is as poor as his opinions about sports.
Also he's narrow minded so we just talk NBA and NFL.
Lo is there too, so is Chris.


City of Marshall :: What is the Marshall Area Conservation Committee (MACC)?
The MACC is a volunteer group of environmentally conscious citizens who work to protect and enhance Marshall's natural resources. We started out as a committee to host a single event, River Clean Up, but we had such a positive response and so many volunteers that we quickly ran out of river banks to clean (how great is that?) so we started adding more conservation type projects. Our annual fall event is now called "Krazy for the Kazoo - a River Clean Up and Conservation Day" and on this one day we gather 100+ volunteers and put them to work for 3 hours doing projects such as river bank and park clean up, storm drain marking, water quality monitoring in Rice Creek and the Kalamazoo River, maintenance of our native plant demo plot, habitat creation, trail building, and of course tree planting. With all those volunteers we are able to get a lot of projects accomplished!
The "Greening of Marshall" - we've planted a total of 1000 trees so far! We have two community tree plantings. One in the spring and the other in the fall during Krazy for the Kazoo.
"Kanoe the Kazoo" - an annual canoeing/kayaking event to encourage appreciation for the beauty of the Kalamazoo River and it's tributaries.
The MACC does not meet on a regular basis but rather we meet as needed. Usually meetings are scheduled around our events. We try to communicate by e-mail but some things do require face to face coordination. Our meetings are usually on Wednesdays at 7:00 at one of our city facilities.
Right now our emphasis is on the "Greening of Marshall"...a big push to provide maintenance to the 1000 trees already planted. In addition, we are looking at other projects such as rain gardens, storm drain marking, native plantings, habitat building, community education, trail laying and marking, tree identification, and more.

City Ties: The Rise Of Canadian Rapper Zeelix
An artist's connection to where they are from can drive and inspire their careers. Rappers like Drake, Meek Mill, and Jack Harlow have long boasted the struggles and fame that come from their respective homes. Ontario, Canada, has seen the rise of rap and R&B artist Zeelix. Originally born in the city of Brampton, he currently lives in Welland and claims a strong connection to his Jamaican heritage. Zeelix moved houses constantly as a child, changing schools and re-adapting with his many siblings. However, recently he has found consistency in the same location and has strictly been able to focus on his music.
In an interview, Zeelix discussed the inspiration that comes from seeing artists grow out of their cities. "I would say I am inspired by Drake because his music reflects all aspects of life. Obviously, he is a huge world-known artist, but he is from Toronto Canada which is basically right where I am from. I find a lot of hope knowing someone made it out of the city and blew up as much as he did, and still continuously drops hits after being in the industry for so long." Zeelix has begun to see some of this success as well, gaining thousands of streams as he releases music. He also hopes to one day work with fellow artist Toosii saying, "His music speaks volumes, and I feel like we would create an amazing track because we have a similar vibe."
Zeelix values the connection to those he is reaching with his music. He relates, "I want to reach an audience who can connect with my music and relate to the stories and lyrics I write. I am pretty diverse with each song, so of course, I want people to vibe and enjoy the music with the beats, but also relate on an emotional level to the lyricism." The understanding of where he came from, the vision of where he is going, and the bond to those with him on the journey are sure to keep Zeelix on the rise.

Actually, I have no idea what any of this about. "Mini" Pixel? Pixel Mini? Google sent a Tweet this morning referencing "rumors of a mini Pixel" and then shared this image from hardware designer Jacqueline Bae. They followed that up by saying that they "have a feeling the next one will be a bit bigger than this." That would be the Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL, of course.
Is this cute little phone an attempt to mock the Pixel Ultra non-sense, which was quite honestly one of the dumber times in Android history? Maybe. They went opposite of ultra and are joking about mini? Are they referencing "bonito," the rumored mid-range Pixel phone that is thought to arrive in 2019? I don't, I don't know. Google is weird.
But hey, a tiny phone on a keychain? Sure! I totally get it. If anything, I do see black, white, mint, and pink (or sand?) colors, two tone white shades, and some coffee. Everything but the coffee is semi-associated with the Pixel 3.
Someone tell me what I'm missing. Right over my head? Anyone?
