We can usually rely on Coachella to give us a prediction of the festival beauty trends that will dominate the summer. But after taking a look at all the photos from weekend one, we noticed that one hairstyle in particular was so pervasive—seriously, it was everywhere—that we had a feeling it would go well beyond the music circuit to become one of the It 'dos of the season. Sure enough, it's now trending on Pinterest in a big way—and interestingly enough, it's actually a glorious '90s throwback.
Remember space buns? Of course you do—they were the fast-track way to channel No Doubt–era Gwen Stefani (or Baby Spice or baby Britney Spears) while you lounged on your inflatable furniture from Limited Too. And as the many (many, many) influencers who donned them at Coachella proved, it's pretty easy to put a modern spin on this nostalgia-heavy hairstyle. Pinterest users can't get enough either: Searches for the look are up 162% year over year, according to the site's analytics team.
Or you might go the wildly popular half-up route, as demonstrated by Devon Windsor. Take it up a notch by channeling Poppy Delevingne (seen in the opening photo of this post), who threw in some French-braiding action. Another popular course of action was simply throwing some glitter on top—maybe not the most wearable option on the regular, but for Coachella (or FYF or Governors Ball or Burning Man), it's more than fine.
Our only other tip is to man yourself with some choice products to dance-proof your 'do. For starters, Invisibobbles ($8) will lock in the buns without leaving ponytail dents—a plus on a weekend when washing your hair is only a luxury. It also couldn't hurt to spritz on a little bit of flexible hair spray, like Living Proof's Flex Shaping Hairspray ($25).


Usually feta is made with sheep and goats milk in Greece, hence the reason we call ours' feta style'.
Briddlesford feta is a brined curd cheese with a soft, creamy, white appearance. It is light and crumbly with a beautiful texture. It has a salty, fresh sharp flavour not unlike yoghurt.
Great in salads, with couscous, on pizza or simply smeared onto a hunk of crusty bread.
Our Feta-style cheese is vac-packed with a little brine as this is the traditional preservative – once opened it will last longer if stored in a brine solution in the fridge.

Q: How To Get Laravel 5.8 Pagination To Work With Angular 8 Am having problems getting the next set of results from the database using laravel pagination.
My results looks like this from this route:  api/getMerchants
{
    "merchants": {
        "current_page": 1,
        "data": [], // contains some data
        "first_page_url": "/?page=1",
        "from": null,
        "next_page_url": "/?page=2",
        "path": "/",
        "per_page": 15,
        "prev_page_url": null,
        "to": null
    }
}

Now when I try to get the next set of results by calling the route which is api/getMerchants and appending the next page url value to it, i get the same set of result but this time only the current_page value changes to 2 and the next_page_url changes to 3. The final url looks like this:
api/getMerchants/?page=2

What am i doing wrong ? How do i get the next set of results, i get the same thing when i try in postman as well.
This is my controller:
public function getMerchants(Request $request){

        //get all registered companies
        $getmerchants = DB::table('merchants')
        ->join('joint_companies', 'joint_companies.id', '=', 'super_id')
        ->join('company_admin', 'company_admin.id', '=', 'admin_id')
        ->select('merchants.*','company_admin.name AS admin_name','joint_companies.name AS exec_name')
        ->get();

        //clean data
        $merchantsdata = [];

        $merchants = $getmerchants->map(function($items){
            $merchantsdata['id'] = $items->id;
            $merchantsdata['merchant_name'] = Crypt::decryptString($items->merchant_name);
            $merchantsdata['status'] = $items->status;
            $merchantsdata['country'] = $items->country;
            $merchantsdata['logo'] = $items->logo;

            return $merchantsdata;
         });

         $objects = new Paginator($merchants, 15);
         $response = [
            'merchants' => $objects
        ];
        return response()->json($response, 200);

    }

A: By calling DB::table('merchants') ... ->get() you are not using the Paginator component.
As you can see on the documentation you should call ->paginate():
    //get all registered companies
    $marchands = DB::table('merchants')
    ->join('joint_companies', 'joint_companies.id', '=', 'super_id')
    ->join('company_admin', 'company_admin.id', '=', 'admin_id')
    ->select('merchants.*','company_admin.name AS admin_name','joint_companies.name AS exec_name')
    ->paginate();

Pay attention $marchands is now Paginator object
you probably still want to transform your data collection by doing :
$marchands->getCollection()->transform(function ($marchand) {
     $marchand->merchant_name = Crypt::decryptString($marchand->merchant_name);
     return $marchand;
});

Paginator class implement Illuminate\Contracts\Support\Jsonable you can give the object to your response or call $marchands->toJson()

A: I have faced the same error. To solve this you need to notify that how many items have in your database table? if the item is 2 and your per_page value is 5 then you can get only one page data. Now if you hit the request with page = 2 (for second page), then how can you get the second page data. Naturally it will show your empty data. And your query has been showed that.

Joe Marquez
Joe Marquez was born in November 1950 in Long Island, NY. His father was in the military so his life of travel began at six weeks of age when the family moved to Panama. His father's career took them to many US duty stations and also to England and France. Joe's mother and father had 8 more boys before their family was broken up by the parent's decision to divorce. Joe struggled to stay in school and help his mother raise the younger boys but his lack of a high school education did not allow him to get any employment that gave much income. He decided to join the military and finish his formal education and be able to have a stable income to help his family.
After 2 tours in Vietnam, Joe came back to the US at a time of great demoralization of our troops. On a night in 1970 while using drugs, things started to really take a frightful turn when it appeared that the drugs were causing an abnormal reaction. Fearing for his life he dug out the Gideon New Testament that he had been issued when he went into service. Though he had carried it for some time through the jungle as some kind of talisman it had become cumbersome and had eventually ended up in a foot locker. But having been taught by his mother to respect the Word of God, Joe had kept it and now he knew he needed something beyond his own wisdom. That began a search for the truth contained in God's word and led him to the Christian Serviceman's Center to be taught and there he began his spiritual growth.
In 1972, Joe met fellow student, Ramona, at a Bible Institute and they were married in June 1973. They settled in South Carolina and had 4 children. From their early meeting Joe and Ramona had shared an interest in serving the Lord in foreign missionary service and in February 1989 they moved their family to do just that in Paraguay. Their children are all married now and they are grandparents to 14 children ranging in age from 2 to 18. Though they still maintain their home in Paraguay they have spent extended times in South Carolina while Joe is under the care of VA doctors for what are considered service connected illnesses. However, this time in the US has opened up a unique ministry among veterans and active duty military.

Gustav Drevs (* 16. April 1907 in Neu Steinbeck, Mecklenburg; † 17. April 1988) war ein deutscher Politiker der CDU.

Leben und Beruf

Nach dem Abitur auf der landwirtschaftlichen Oberrealschule studierte der Protestant Drevs, Sohn eines pommerschen Rittergutsbesitzers, an der Universität Leipzig und der Friedrich-Schiller-Universität Jena Landwirtschaft. 1928 wurde er im Corps Saxonia Jena aktiv. Nach zwei Lehrjahren und sechs Jahren Tätigkeit als landwirtschaftlicher Beamter war er unterstützend auf dem väterlichen Gut in Siedkow im Kreis Belgard (Provinz Pommern) tätig, dessen Mitbesitzer er 1944 wurde. Das Kriegsende verbrachte er in französischer Kriegsgefangenschaft. Durch die Flucht und Vertreibung Deutscher aus Mittel- und Osteuropa 1945–1950 konnte er nicht nach Pommern auf das Gut zurückkehren und kam als Heimatvertriebener nach Schleswig-Holstein. Im Kreis Herzogtum Lauenburg war er ab 1961 Kreisvorsitzender des Kuratoriums Unteilbares Deutschland. Drevs war verheiratet und hatte drei Kinder. Sein Sohn Merten Drevs war der erste Staatssekretär im Finanzministerium des Landes Mecklenburg-Vorpommern.

Politik
Drevs beantragte am 9. Juni 1937 die Aufnahme in die NSDAP und wurde rückwirkend zum 1. Mai desselben Jahres aufgenommen (Mitgliedsnummer 4.865.045). Bereits im Dezember 1933 war er der SA beigetreten. Im Entnazifizierungsverfahren erklärte er, dies getan zu haben, um sich dem Beitritt zur NSDAP entziehen zu können. Danker und Lehmann-Himmel bezeichnen ihn als Angehörigen der traditionellen Elite und charakterisieren ihn in ihrer Studie über das Verhalten und die Einstellungen der Schleswig-Holsteinischen Landtagsabgeordneten und Regierungsmitglieder der Nachkriegszeit in der NS-Zeit als "angepasst-ambivalent".

Er war nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg Mitglied der Christlich Demokratischen Union Deutschlands. Seit 1948 gehörte er dem Kreistag im Kreis Herzogtum Lauenburg an. 1950/51 war er auch Mitglied des Kreisausschusses, seit 1951 Kreispräsident. 1956 wurde er Kreisvorsitzender der CDU Schleswig-Holstein in Lauenburg, nachdem er zuvor bereits seit 1951 stellvertretender Kreisvorsitzender gewesen war. Über fünf Legislaturperioden – von 1954 bis 1975 – saß er als Abgeordneter im Schleswig-Holsteinischen Landtag. Dabei vertrat er zunächst den Wahlkreis Lauenburg-Nord und seit 1971 den Wahlkreis Lauenburg-Ost. Vom 13. Dezember 1958 bis zum 3. Dezember 1967 war Drevs Parlamentarischer Vertreter des schleswig-holsteinischen Landesministers für Arbeit, Soziales und Vertriebene und anschließend bis zu seinem Ausscheiden aus dem Parlament Parlamentarischer Vertreter des Landesinnenministers. Er war Ersatzmitglied der Bundesversammlung zur Wahl des deutschen Bundespräsidenten 1964. Von 1967 bis 1969 war er Vorsitzender des Landtagsausschusses für Heimatvertriebene.

Tag: Old Aircraft
The Aftereffects of Storms
Some of the best "derelict aircraft" discoveries are serendipitous. This post's subject is such a case. It was during a research trip in Turkey in late May of 2011. My former student and then colleague Mark Nicovich and I had been dogged by a nasty Anatolian spring thunderstorm all day. The storm caught us on the unprotected plateau of "Midas City" and, apparently making up for an earlier near miss, hit us with an unmerciful downpour and then pelted us with hail for about 20 minutes. The glories of the site (a future post, no doubt) made the assault quite worth it, even though the Canon SLR I borrowed from my daughter Rachel, was killed by the soaking.
With the assailant moving away to the Northeast; Mark Nicovich stands drenched and battered on the acropolis plateau of Midas City, a Phrygian site named for the most famous Phrygian king (late morning of 28 May 2011; photo © Daniel C Browning Jr)
We returned to our rental Skoda and headed along a parallel path with the storm, intent on beating it to Gordion, the ancient Phrygian capital, some distance away. After a brief stop at Amorium, we were driving rather speedily northward when I spied two planes off to the right, near a major interchange: an old biplane of some kind and an unmistakable F-4E Phantom jet. Despite the race with the storm, the unidentified biplane dictated a stop. We took the ramp of the interchange, pulled over on the side of the highway, got out, and crossed the access road by foot to what now was obviously a monument display. Thankfully, I had my small backup Sony camera in my pocket.

The plane of interest (nothing against the F-4E, but they are common) proved to be a Breguet 14, a World War I French bomber/scout plane mounted on concrete pedestals! A century-old largely wood and fabric airframe would never be appropriate to mount on an all-weather permanent display, so I was not surprised (but a little sad) to find that the Breguet 14 was a replica (but a well-done one, and thus deemed fit for this series).
The replica Breguet 14 of the Sivrihisar Uçağı monument; and the edge of the lurking thunderstorm (photo © Daniel C Browning Jr)
The Breguet 14 was a French designed and built World War I workhorse, operating as a two-seat scout plane and bomber. Its incorporation of comparatively large amounts of metal in the airframe was innovative and made it one of the most durable planes of the war. Consequently, it continued in production after the war and was used in a number of airforces into the 1930s. That included Turkey. Which brings us to this particular memorialized plane.
Translation of the signage reveals that during the Turkish War of Independence the people of the Sivrihisar district of Eskişehir Province (where the monument is located) raised money and bought the plane for the nascent Turkish Air Force as a contribution to the war effort. In gratitude for the patriotic act, the Breguet was named Sivrihisar Uçağı, meaning "Sivrihisar aircraft."
The replica Breguet 14 of the Sivrihisar Uçağı monument with explanatory signage . . . and our surprisingly fast and durable rental Skoda (photo © Daniel C Browning Jr)
A little extra research revealed that the donation was raised by Sivrihisar residents after their occupation and then liberation in the Battle of Sakarya, one of the pivotal campaigns of the Turkish War of Independence. During that battle, a Greek Air Force Breguet was captured by forced landing, put into service by Turkey, and named Sakarya Uçağı (see here for that info in Turkish). I surmise that the utility of that plane was the inspiration for the purchase of the Sivrihisar Uçağı, and it provided the precedent for naming the latter. So the storm of conflict brought out Turkish resolve.

Speaking of Turkish resolve . . . immediately after our visit to the monument and pulling back on the highway, we were flagged down by a waiting Turkish policeman. Unlike many before him on our journey, he spoke excellent English and explained that we were speeding. As we had not even gotten up to speed when he pulled me over, I protested briefly. He calmly explained that he had detected our speed from the other side of the other highway before we had exited. He thought we had tried to avoid apprehension by doing so and was waiting for us, but I explained that we saw the biplane and turned to investigate. He understood and we had a nice talk about the history of the airplane. Then he issued my summons and gave friendly instructions on how to pay. We parted as friends, Mark and I admiring his Turkish sense of duty and patriotism, and the officer appreciative of our interest in his history.
In the end, we beat the storm (barely) to Gordion, where we had a nice visit and another reminder of the good things that can emerge from storms:

Pic of the Day, You Don't Get This On the Bus Tour
Derelict Aircraft I have Known, number Zero
My piece on a derelict Soviet MiG 17 jet fighter aircraft in Texas was something of a departure from the usual Ancient Dan fare, to be sure. To continue that theme as a series of occasional posts will permit me to do several things: 1) indulge my interest in old historical aircraft; 2) share a bit of my own background; 3) conduct a little research on claims or appearances; and 4) show pictures of old ruined stuff. This entry attempts to do all four (not necessarily in that order).
I inherited a love of airplanes from my Dad, who—as confirmed by his own mother—apparently announced at the age of five that he wanted to be an aeronautical engineer. He did that, graduating in Aeronautical Engineering from The Georgia Institute of Technology in 1955.
My Dad, Daniel C Browning Jr (yes, we have EXACTLY the same name), checking the propeller of his first aircraft; about 1935
While in college Dad became aware of a WWII Japanese Zero sitting in the small back lot of the privately-owned Atlanta Museum on the edge of downtown, within walking distance from Georgia Tech. He would occasionally trot over there to see the derelict plane, a rare example of a famous type that made its appearance to U.S. forces at Pearl Harbor and outperformed all American aircraft at the beginning of the war (only a decade before Dad's matriculation at The Institute).
When I was quite young, Dad showed me the Zero during one of many trips to Atlanta to attend Tech football games. After I enrolled at The Institute in 1974 (as an Aerospace Engineering major) I would also go and visit the Zero from time to time. I will admit now that I never paid for admission to the museum itself, because one could simply drive to the street behind the building and access the ungated lot after hours! It was "Ground Zero" for my appreciation of derelict historical aircraft.
Remains of a WWII Japanese Naval fighter aircraft, Mitsubishi A6M Reisen, Allied codename "Zeke," but popularly known as "Zero," behind the Atlanta Museum in March 1978 (photo © Daniel C Browning Jr) [Note the sign in the background]
I showed the Zero to numerous friends, who may have appreciated the historical significance of the famed fighter aircraft but usually did not share my fascination with the sad remains. Most of the pictures here are from a visit in March 1978, with several Huntsville buddies in tow, made with a Kodak Instamatic 126-film camera I kept in my 1967 VW Beetle.

Now for the nerdy and research stuff. Many sites provide good histories of warplanes, including the Japanese Zero, so I will not rehearse that here. But the now-defunct Atlanta Museum advertised its Zero, the one I frequently visited, as the first one captured by U.S. forces in WWII (a claim documented here). The story of the first recovery of an intact Zero (by U.S. Navy in the Aleutian Islands campaign of 1942; (see Wikipedia's excellent review) is fascinating and the specific plane was significant for American intelligence and strategy for countering the superior-performing Japanese fighter.
The "Akutan Zero," recovered on Akutan Island in the Aleutians in 1942; the damaged plane was intentionally crash-landed with the intent of rescue by a Japanese submarine stationed for that purpose, but the landing gear stuck in the bog and flipped the Zero, killing the pilot (photo: U.S. Navy); Note the carburetor intake and exhaust ports under the nose of this A6M2 model 21 Zero
The specific Zero captured on Akutan Island in the Aleutians was an A6M2 model 21, the early type used in the attack on Pearl Harbor. But, already in the 1970s, I could see (as an obviously nerdy type) that the Zero I knew so well was a later A6M5 model 52. The giveaway was the later larger engine with carburetor intake at the top and exhaust manifolds distributed along the side of the (missing) cowling instead of a pair underneath the nose. The Atlanta Museum Zero could not be the same plane as the Akutan Zero! [I think I warned that this was the nerdy research part—but it does combine my loves of warplanes and historical research.] The relevant bits can be seen in my first Zero photo above and in this one:

Some digging has revealed that despite the Atlanta Museum's claim, their Zero was captured later in the war, apparently with several others on Saipan, and shipped to the U.S. for evaluation—according to the Warbirds Directory. That source, however, still identifies the former Atlanta Museum plane as an A6M2 model 21 (listing here in pdf form, [see third entry]), which it clearly is not. In any case, the Atlanta Museum closed in 1993 and the Zero was eventually procured by the Flying Heritage & Combat Armor Museum in Everett, Washington, where it is displayed in unrestored condition.

An excellent album of pictures of the Zero in its new home (source of the one above) can be seen here on Facebook, including a good history properly identifying it as an A6M5 type 52.
I have not yet visited the Zero in the Flying Heritage & Combat Armor Museum. Dad would have loved to see it.

A Relic of the Forgotten and Cold Wars (that now seem less forgotten and cold)
A MiG 17! I had seen it in the 1980s and was immediately interested. But I never had time to stop and my usual route changed. But things changed again (as they often do), it was still there I noticed, and finally I recently stopped to take a gander.

The MiG (Mikoyan-Gurevich) 17 was a development of (and visually difficult to distinguish from) the MiG 15, which was the first Soviet-built operational swept-wing fighter jet. The MiG 15's combat debut in the Korean War stunned the United States Air Force, brought American daytime bombing raids to a halt, and signalled increased Russian interference in the Korean War (see that very interesting story here). Seventy years on, we are still having angst over North Korean acquisition of advanced military technology and getting evidence of Russian nefarious interference . . .

Produced in the U.S.S.R., and by contract in China and Poland, the MiG 17 (and variant designations) was a mainstay of Soviet Bloc and other communist countries' air forces for much of the Cold War period. It did not achieve operational status during the Korean War, but was used in large numbers by the North Korean air force for years and is still in service there. The MiG 17 was operated by North Vietnam during the Vietnam War and scored several stunning victories over technically superior USAF fighters.

Back to the specific plane that occasioned this piece. It has greeted observant drivers since at least the mid-1980s alongside US 80 east of Dallas, among a stretch of antique dealers in Forney, Texas. The Mig is parked in front of De Ridder Antiques, which I found in June of 2018 with signs proclaiming "GOING OUT OF BUSINESS."

The plane sports the red star insignia of the U.S.S.R., visible from the highway. But on closer inspection, I saw that the red stars were painted over square patches of silver paint, covering other symbols. I surmised that the MiG 17 had once belonged to the Polish air force, which used a square insignia. My suspicion was heightened by a Polish word on one of the service covers under the fuselage and then confirmed by the proprietress of the adjacent store, who I take to have been Willie de Ridder. Sadly, my inquiry as to whether the MiG 17 was for sale was met with word that it was already sold. Whether the MiG stays alongside US 80 remains to be seen. I do hope it remains to be seen, as a reminder of past conflict and a warning against going there again.
While something of a departure from my usual musings, I may do more with "derelict warplanes I have known" if there is sufficient interest.

The yet to be hero Joe was on the ship for many months. He spent Thanksgiving on the ship avoiding the beast on the ship with him. He found out how to zap in food from the small automated kitchen on board the ship. He could type in and speak a food item into the system the picture would pop up on the screen and he would then push the picture then push order under it and in about 15 minutes or so the food would appear. He could also order pet food for the beast on board and push it through a small opening where he was. The opening was too small for him to get through thankfully and he had yet to figure out how to get out of the area he was in or human could be on the menu.
Christmas was coming up soon and the good captain was still on the ship. Still trapped not knowing when the aliens would invade and how to stop them. He had learned for sure that they would be invading and that they were no friend's but when was the question? More importantly, how could he stop them? The captain had also definitely figured out it was best to try and befriend the alien's pet on board because sooner or later he would get free of his room. So he found a big ball and he would roll it through the same hole as he sent the food through and the pet would roll it back through the hole with his nose. They would spend hours playing like this on the days when he wasn't exploring the ship. He would also sing to the beast he now called Biscuit at night because he would get more active at night and try really hard to get out of his room. He would sing to soothe the savage beast so to speak and to put him to sleep which sometimes took hours. Then he would climb back up into his safe bed so tired he could hardly think straight.
Suddenly he was in dreamland and he had a dream where an angel appeared to him.The angel let Joe now indeed that the alien's were bad guys that wated to enslave mankind and eat the humans too small, frail or weak to work.They wanted mankind to build their cities,take care of their,pets and do all the jobs that they felt like were beneath their higher-alien's race Their plaent was a lot like earth and could sustain life as long as you stayed within the big bubble surrounding their planet. Many slaves were brought about 100 at a time to their planet to do the needed work. Once the planent's resources were gone and the slave labor available went way down they would destory the planet and move on.The alien's would also run through all the earth's resources in about 10 to 20 years flat. Once the resources were gone they would either bomb the planet and wipe out all remaining humans or kill them and harvest the body parts for food to be sold to the highest bidders among the planets with alien's that also ate humans.The angel told the good captain to rewire the food ordering device in the kitchen to be able to ask for help from other alien's.The angel said that the alien's now planning to invade earth had plenty of enemies' but to be careful about asking because they also have a few friends.Then Joe woke up gasping for air and soaking wet.Oh well on with the day he had to figure out a lot of stuff.
Christmas on an alien ship wow what in the world and with a beast of a pet he now called Biscuit .He had to figure out how to rewire the food ordering device, which alien's to ask for help, how to win over the family pet and how to get off the ship and save earth.This was a tall order even for someone like Joe but he wouldn't give up, he would man up he decided.He did how ever break down around lunch time and cried for like 15 minutes before shaking it off and setting to work again on a plan of attack.What if the famiy pet could help him save earth some how he thought ?Was the family pet truly loyal to the family and if so how loyal? Joe spent the next 3 to 4 days feeding the pet really well and playing with him,singing to him and even reading to him trying to win him over.When he wasn't doing this he was trying to comb the ship for information about the pet but he didn't learn much about Biscuit .One night the angel appeared to him again in a dream telling him if he wanted the pets help he should just ask and that he still would have to have the other alien's help as well.The angel said he needed to figure out how to rewire the food ordering device and ask for help and that the pet maybe able to help.The angel said he was running out of time so he needed to figure out how to do what needed to be done soon.Then Joe woke up before he could ask for any details.
Ask the pet for help, really could he just ask would it be that easy?Joe feed the pet and then cleared his throat and asked Biscuit for his help telling him that his planet would be in big trouble without help.There was no response for like 20 minutes and then a big sigh was heard by Joe who was making his way to the other side of the ship.Joe stopped and headed back where the pet was,about 20 feet from the room Joe heard a small "so you want my help", he froze in his spot.When there was no response by Joe the pet explained that yes he could talk but was trained not to talk to anyone outside his family.He went on to ask Joe if he decided to help him which was a big if what was in it for him.

Men and fathers going through a Pennsylvania divorce face an array of challenges that threaten to upend their lives. Cordell & Cordell's Pennsylvania divorce lawyers focus on representing men during the divorce process and that gives them a better understanding of how the state's laws affect them and their families.
Read through our Pennsylvania divorce and child custody articles to gain a better understanding of the road ahead. Educating yourself about the divorce process in Pennsylvania will improve your ability to communication with your divorce lawyer, which goes a long way toward helping your reach your goals in Pennsylvania family court.
What Constitutes Income In Pennsylvania?
Generally speaking, Pennsylvania is a fairly unique commonwealth when it comes to the operation of family law and divorce. The Pennsylvania Divorce Code, most recently amended in 2005, allows for filing of divorce on both Fault and No Fault grounds if the parties have resided in the commonwealth for at least six months prior to the initiation of the divorce action.
A party filing on Fault grounds must establish one of six categories: Desertion, Cruel and Barbarous Treatment, Bigamy, Incarceration, Indignities or Adultery. While the Fault option is available, most parties do not file for divorce on fault grounds for a couple reasons.
Firstly, although the court may consider fault in making determinations of alimony, they may not consider it in equitable distribution. Secondly, filing for divorce on fault grounds is a more extensive litigious process, and thus much more expensive for the party filing for divorce.
Therefore, most parties opt to file for divorce on No Fault grounds, which can be established either by mutual consent of both parties or by a unilateral action taken by one party where the couple has lived separate and apart for a period of one year.
It is important to note that in Pennsylvania there is no such thing as "legal separation." While legal separation does not exist, the date of separation is still important for making determinations regarding support and distribution of marital property.
Parties generally establish separation by cessation of a sexual relationship, separation of finances and holding out to the community that they are indeed living separate and apart.
When it comes to the division of property pursuant to a divorce action, Pennsylvania is an Equitable Distribution state. To determine property distribution, the court will take into consideration several factors such as length of the marriage, parties' ages and health, parties' earning capacity, etc. A determination must be made as to what assets between the parties are marital.
Marital property is defined simply as all property acquired by either party during the course of the marriage, prior to the date of final separation. Property acquired prior to the marriage or after the date of separation is excluded from marital property, as are gifts and inheritances received by either party at any point before, during, or after the marriage.
Additionally, any property excluded by an agreement, for example a pre-nuptial agreement, is also excluded from marital property. Parties must submit a compete list of their assets in an Inventory and Appraisement pleading.
This aids the parties in compiling their Marriage Settlement Agreement, or MSA, which is the final determination of distribution of marital property. Spousal support is generally applicable prior to the filing of a divorce complaint, although it is possible for it to continue while the divorce is pending before the court.
The important difference between Alimony Pendente Lite and spousal support is that there are defenses to the dependent spouse's entitlement to receive spousal support. Those defenses are the same as fault grounds for divorce. If any of those grounds can be proven, the dependent spouse will not be entitled to support.
There are three forms of spousal support– Alimony Pendente Lite, or APL, which is a Latin phrase meaning "alimony pending litigation," Spousal Support, and Alimony.
APL is a temporary support order granted to a party while divorce litigation is pending. The intention of an APL award is to provide both parties an equal opportunity to litigate, maintain and defend the divorce action. An APL award can not be entered simultaneously with an award of spousal support.
The second form of support that may be awarded is Spousal Support. Spousal support will be awarded to assure a dependent spouse a reasonable living allowance. The duty to pay spousal support arises out of the marriage and terminates when the marriage ends. Upon decree of divorce, the award of spousal support will cease.
Lastly there is alimony. This is what most people think of when they consider support obligations to an ex-spouse. Alimony is an order of support granted upon the decree of divorce. The claim for alimony must be raised prior to entry of the divorce decree, or else it is waived.
Alimony is awarded to ensure that the reasonable needs of a person are met, and can last for a definite or indefinite period of time. Cohabitation or remarriage by the party receiving alimony and/or death of the party receiving alimony will terminate the obligation to pay.
Finally, there is the issue of custody. In Pennsylvania, custody actions may be initiated as entirely separate proceedings from divorce or support. This is a vast contrast from other states.
Parties will typically be required to participate in educational and/or mediation sessions prior to initiating an action for custody. Custody is an extremely fact-sensitive area and the courts will determine an appropriate schedule based on the best interests of the children.


Seniors ages 55 and older won't be lacking for things to do in Nevada, whether it's taking a day trip to a local casino in Reno or absorbing the beautiful scenery at Lake Tahoe, Red Rock Canyon or Lake Mead. Retirees in this ninth least-densely populated state may opt to live in communities in more sparse regions like Silver Springs, east of Lake Lahontan and bordered by the Virginia-Ramsey Mountains. Those seeking an urban experience should consider one of the Nevada retirement communities located in action-packed Las Vegas, which offers world-class dining, performing arts of all kinds and even high-end golf courses for those who want to stay active. With the driest climate in the United States, Nevada residents will enjoy plenty of days full of sunshine and warm weather, regardless of the region. Seniors also make up one of the largest segment of the population, with 12 percent age 65 and older.
Nevada retirement communities are different than facilities like assisted living, nursing homes and memory care. Assisted living communities are designed for senior citizens who need help in managing some aspects of daily living like bathing, doing laundry or cooking, but can still maintain a certain degree of independence. Nursing homes are for elderly individuals who require medical care and who are dependent upon others for many basic needs like eating and getting dressed. In contrast, retirement communities in Nevada are open to those of retirement age, who can live completely independent and are not in need of on-site health care.

Women and telephones: Bridging the gender digital divide using simple solutions
In Niangoloko, in western Burkina Faso, a community listening group tunes in to weekly radio programs on sexual and reproductive health. It's a group made up of men and women, but women interacted with the program differently from men for the first few months, for a simple reason. They faced difficulty calling in to the talk-back lines.
During a recent evaluation for the AdoSanté project in the region, the Farm Radio International team visited the group. During our conversations with the group, our team asked questions about the difficulties people encountered in participating in the programs through our Uliza platform.
Uliza is our suite of services that combines radio, mobile phones, and an Interactive Voice Response system that allow listeners to communicate and exchange information with their radio station quickly, easily and free of charge.
The digital gender divide
One of the challenges that emerged was the participation of women at the beginning of the series. They told us that the women had difficulty catching the number and then typing it into keypad on their phone. Too often, the women we talked with didn't know how to read, and therefore had difficulty mastering the keypad.
For women in Burkina Faso the literacy rate is 26 per cent. In every project, it's therefore especially important to address the challenges of women to be sure that they can benefit fully from each of our programs.
It's also indicative of the larger "gender digital divide" that we sometimes encounter in rural communities: when it comes to having the access, training and skills to use digital tools and newer technology, women often lag behind.
So, we asked the women in the group: What has changed since the beginning of the program?
They told us that the group leader, a man, had taken the initiative to write down the number to call the Uliza system on around 30 pieces of paper, numbered them from one to 30, and distributed them to members of the group and other women in the community.
Abi Diallo holds up a piece of paper with a phone number written on it. Her community listening group leader, Adama Traoré wrote the numbers on a piece of paper and handed them out to women across the listening group and community to help them access the radio program's interactive services.
The women then kept the pieces of paper in their wallets, and when the time came to participate in the programs, they looked at the shape of the numbers on the paper, and pressed the matching button on their phone. From that point on, they were able to dial the number of the radio station to participate.
"This was a good lesson for me, because it's one of the principal challenges for the participation of women in our programs," says Alimata Konate, our regional coordinator for digital innovations. Before leaving Niangoloko, she worked with the group of women to make sure they were confident in the use of their phones.
Bridging the digital divide
FRI's Uliza system is a vital element in creating interactive radio. However, we have seen time and time again that its usage is lop-sided, with men participating much more than women.
While listening groups, which are common to all of our projects across sub-Saharan Africa, often help mediate these issues, with community members helping each other to access and interact programming, there's still work to be done.
Making an extra effort to ensure women can access to systems like Uliza is a major preoccupation of our teams across projects in sub-Saharan Africa. If we want a variety of voices and opinions to be featured for millions over the radio, simple solutions like the one above will need to become the norm.
The AdoSante project, or Le projet de promotion de la santé, des droits sexuels et reproductifs et de la nutrition des adolescent(e)s au Burkina Faso is a three year project funded by Global Affairs Canada and led by Helen Keller International. It aims to improve the sexual and reproductive health and well-being of adolescents in Burkina Faso. Farm Radio International, with support from Helen Keller International and the other partners, is working with radio stations on radio programming that improves the knowledge of adolescents and their families and sparks dialogue on family planning, nutrition, and sexually transmitted infections across Burkina Faso through informative interactive radio programs on sexual and reproductive health.

Russia's design bureau NPO Energomash is to deliver 60 RD 181 engines for the Antares rocket first stage to American space technology manufacturer Orbital Sciences Corporation. The total cost of the deal is about $1 billion.
According to Solntsev, Russia's government has already issued all the permits required for the deal. The contract envisages restrictions for the use of RD-181 engines in military programs as those rockets cannot be used for military goals.
Following an engine failure and subsequent explosion during the Antares launch in October, the company halted all launches, struggling to find a replacement. The reliability of the RD-181 and similar engines made it the best choice, Orbital's vice president for space launch strategic development, Mark Pieczynski, told Aviation Week in December.
The engine was developed specially for Antares and it allows more cargo to be delivered to the International Space Station and to low orbits. Using new technologies and materials the engineers managed to increase the motive power to 186 tons.
The total cost of the deal is estimated at $1 billion. This sum includes not only the price of the engines but a set of services as well. Energomash will provide flight preparation, training, engines installation and its test operations.
According to Solntsev, the US would have to spend about $3 billion to develop its own engine for Antares and the process would take up to 10 years, without guarantee of success. That's why Energomash plans to cooperate with Orbital Sciences Corporation for 15-20 years.
"I believe the contract is focused on cooperation over 15-25 years, as no one will regularly change engines on a rocket," he said.
Energomash is Russia's leading rocket engines producer. The company has cooperated with the Orbital Sciences Corporation since 1990, delivering RD 180 engines for Atlas rockets. Later, the AJ-26 engines, based on the Soviet NK 33, were used for Antares.
The Antares rockets are also used to launch Cygnus, OSC's new automated cargo spacecraft, which is part of NASA's Commercial Orbital Transportation Services program.
Last April, the US halted cooperation with Russia in other spaсe programs apart from the International Space Station program. However, the sanctions do not apply to Energomash. Long-term cooperation in other programs is still under discussion, however.

Emmanuel Chabrier: Emmanuel Chabrier, French composer whose best works reflect the verve and wit of the Paris scene of the 1880s and who was a musical counterpart of the early Impressionist painters. In his youth Chabrier was attracted to both music and painting. While studying law in Paris from 1858 to 1862, he also. Chabrier was also a notable letter writer. Correspondance (1994), a collection of his letters, was valued for its literary as well as its musical interest and for its streak of spontaneous, Rabelaisian humour.
In May 1861, at a dinner party at which Liszt was present, Bizet astonished everyone by sight reading one of the maestro's most difficult piano pieces. Liszt said, 'I thought there were only two men able to surmount the difficulties. there are three, and. the youngest is perhaps the boldest and most brilliant.

Works: Life and Letters, Հատոր 8
Հեղինակ՝ William Cowper
Unshaken, unseduc'd, unterrified,
His loyalty he kept, his love, his zeal;
Nor number, nor example, with him wrought
To swerve from truth, or change his constant mind
Though single."
"Methinks your Lordship's situation particularly resembles that in which the poet has placed Abdiel. You are not indeed called to serve God quite alone; but, amongst those of your own rank, and with whom the station in which he has placed you necessitates you to converse, how few are there who can understand, second, or approve the principles upon which you act; or easily bear a conduct which must impress conviction or reflect dishonour upon themselves! But you are not alone. The Lord's people (many of whom you will not know till you meet them in glory) are helping you here with their prayers. His angels are commissioned to guard and guide your steps. Yea, the Lord himself fixes his eye of mercy upon your private and public path, and is near you at your right hand, that you may not be moved! That he may comfort you with the light of his countenance, and uphold you with the arm of his power, is my frequent prayer." *
Such is the sweet strain of practical and experimental piety in which Newton writes, uniting the graces of composition with the courtesy of christian feeling, and the sentiments of an exalted piety. The nobleman, to whom these letters are addressed, * " Cardiphonia."
(twenty-six in number,) was the Earl of Dartmouth, the patron of the living of Olney. Happy would it be if men of rank were always willing to listen to such truths, and the pen of a Newton could record them with so much faithfulness and grace. The date of this correspondence commences in the year 1765, and terminates in 1777. The succeeding eight letters, to the Rev. Mr. S., are addressed to the Rev. Thomas Scott, and will be shortly adverted to. Mr. B., to whom eleven letters are inscribed, is Mr. Barham, the father of the late Jos. Foster Barham, Esq., M.P. One letter is addressed to the latter, as Mr. B., jun.; and Miss M. B., is Miss Martha Barham, his sister. The Rev. Mr. R., is Mr. Rose, late Rector of Beckenham, who married her sister. I am enabled to verify these facts from family connexion, and personal knowledge. Besides these letters, Newton was the author of " Omicron," "Letters to Wife," "Review of Ecclesiastical History," "Sermons," "the Aged Pilgrim's Triumph," "Life of the Rev. William Grimshawe," an ancestor of the Editor, distinguished for his piety and laborious exertions, though accompanied with some peculiarities; I cannot however record his name without reverence for his piety and zeal. The majority of the Olney Hymns were contributed by Newton, and have always been acceptable to the religious public. They are diversified in their subject, and uniformly spiritual and experimental, though inferior, as
poetical compositions, to those contributed by Cow
per.
His lines on the Ocean are characterized by great force and beauty.
A THOUGHT ON THE SEA SHORE.
In ev'ry object here I see
Something, O Lord! that leads to thee.
Firm as the rocks thy promise stands,
Thy mercies countless as the sands;
Thy love a sea immensely wide,
Thy grace an ever-flowing tide.
Something, my heart, that points at thee.
Hard as the rocks that bound the strand,
Unfruitful as the barren sand,
Deep and deceitful as the Ocean,
And, like the tides, in constant motion.
The last point of view in which Newton claims to be considered is, as the honoured instrument, in the hands of God, for raising up others who became eminent for piety and usefulness. We pass over many instances of comparatively less importance, and select two of known celebrity, the late Rev. Thomas Scott, and the Rev. Claudius Buchanan. Mr. Scott, at the time of Newton's residence at Olney, was the curate of Ravenstone, in that neighbourhood. Though strictly conscientious, and earnest in the discharge of his duties, yet his views were indistinct, and his mind labouring under strong prejudices. The sentiments and principles of New
ton, so opposite to his own, excited his attention. He was unable to comprehend them, and, as a natural consequence, deprecated and rejected them. Newton presented him with one of his publications, entitled, "Omicron." This led to a correspondence, which is inserted in the "Cardiphonia." The influence of Newton's arguments, though slow, was finally successful. The strong and powerful pre judices of Scott yielded, like the mists that are dispelled by the penetrating beams of the sun. He has recorded this eventful period of his life in his "Force of Truth," a book which merits to be universally read. Mr. Scott's subsequent career and usefulness are well known. He was "a burning and a shining light." His "Commentary on the Bible" requires no eulogium, its praise is in all the churches. In America alone, we believe that not less than forty or fifty thousand copies have been sold. It is now circulating in France and in Switzerland. Perhaps no book has contributed so essentially to diffuse the great doctrines of the Reformation, and to revive the piety and spirit of former ages. We do not know a more splendid trophy to the name and usefulness of Newton, than to be recorded as the instrument, under the Divine blessing, of having raised up so distinguished a character as the Rev. Thomas Scott.
The second instance is that of the Rev. Claudius Buchanan. Mr. Newton, after a residence of nearly sixteen years at Olney, was removed to London,
having been presented, by the recommendation of John Thornton, Esq., to the living of St. Mary's Woolnoth. On a Sunday evening a stranger stood in one of the aisles of the church, while Newton was preaching. He became impressed with what he heard, and communicated to him the state of his mind: Newton admiring his talents, and anticipating his future usefulness, introduced him to the late Henry Thornton, Esq., by whose liberality he was sent to college. He was afterwards ordained, and subsequently filled an important situation in the East. He at length returned to Europe to awaken Britain to the claims of India. The effect produced by his appeals, and by his celebrated sermon, "The Star in the East," will long be remembered. He was eminently instrumental in rousing public attention to the duty of evangelizing India.
The stranger whose history we have thus briefly recorded was the Rev. Claudius Buchanan.
Such is the history of Newton, abounding in the most singular and eventful incidents, and exhibiting a man not less distinguished by his piety than by his acknowledged talents and great usefulness. The moral truths that it conveys are both numerous and highly instructive. To parents it is fraught with the greatest encouragement, by proving that early impressions of piety, however they may seem to be extinguished by a long course of impenitence, may subsequently revive, though probably under the most solemn dispensations: "Thou shalt


Back for a second series tonight on Channel 4, proving broadcast music television can still stick it to the billion or so YouTube and Vevo viewers, Four To The Floor is a full half hour of original content, cutting bleeding-edge acts with high-concept VT and animation.
Mancunian collective Levelz redefines their city's musical heritage; and New York rapper Homeboy Sandman delivers a strangely optimistic invective on America's promise to its people. Plus, items from Earl Sweatshirt, Novelist and Petit Noir.
Series one was a lone critique of the creative black hole that swallowed much of music television in recent years and proof we could have it so much better. Now for its second series the indictment continues. To paraphrase the show's spoken-word lead-in to Levelz' live performance: "While you were thinking, 'Heard it all before', they were thinking, 'What's next?'"
Four To The Floor starts on Channel 4 at midnight tonight.
'Townhouse' openings take over, well, town.
