At its Oct. 15 meeting, the Granby Board of Selectmen approved the Board of Education's request to ask the Board of Finance for an additional $275,000 for an emergency repair to the roof of the high school. In a situation not related to any damage caused during the spring hail storm, the underlying membrane of part of Granby Memorial's 20-year-old roof is separating and needs to be replaced before the winter weather sets in.
Speaking for the BOE, Mark Fiorentino noted that a new roof for the school was already on its capital improvement list before the disruption in the roof's integrity was discovered. There is money in the general fund that will cover this. There are some funds (possibly around $19,000) available from the state, but the process of obtaining them will take too long considering that winter is fast approaching. However, much of the $275,000 remains will be returned to the general fund.
The middle school did sustain damage from the hailstorm, but insurance is covering the repair.
Town Manager John Ward reported that CPPAC (Capital Program Priority Advisory Committee) had asked questions regarding the town's bridge repair needs. Before approving funding, the committee wanted to know if the work could be done by Granby's public works department by itself or with the aid of local contractors. After discussions with Public Works Director Kirk Severance, Ward determined that the department does not have the equipment or manpower to undertake this project. Each bridge repair is expected to take a full season and require several workers at a time. It would not be cost effective for the town to take on this burden, plus the expense of obtaining necessary equipment. Depending on the size of the bridge, anywhere from 50 to 90 percent of the cost will be provided by state programs. The Moosehorn, Simsbury Road and Donohue bridges qualify for 80 percent funding; Griffin, Hungary and Enders will receive 50 percent funding.
As with the roof situation, complete funding for the three smaller bridges is available from the state but the town would have to cede all design specifications and work would proceed on the state's schedule. Ward and Severance determined that the town should go out for bids on its own, selecting multiple contractors so that the jobs can be done simultaneously. Ward will take this decision back to an upcoming CPPAC meeting.
Ward was pleased to announce that he, Director of Community Development Abby Kenyon, and Selectman Mark Neumann participated in the ribbon cutting for Granby's newest restaurant, La Figata, located in the Geissler's plaza. Ward expressed appreciation to James Chen for bringing yet another fine restaurant experience to our town.
Susan Regan spoke again regarding a marketing plan for not only the East Street property, but also the Kearns School. She noted that the recently proposed center by the Kearns School Community Steering Committee would be a non-profit and therefore provide no revenue for the town.
Anna Sogliuzzo inquired as to whether an official policy regarding the use of Roundup had been formed. Ward replied that he and Severance have agreed to minimize, not completely ban, the use of the pesticide. Severance said that they are still studying the situation, noting that the major use of the chemical does not occur until late summer/early fall.
Sogliuzzo also requested that with the expiration of the current contract at East Street, there should be a policy in place that no further Roundup or chemicals like it be used on the town property.
Victoria Dirienzo resigned as Chairman of the Conservation Commission in order to be appointed to take the place of Richard Van Nostrand on the Inland Wetlands and Watercourses Commission.

Accepting books for reviews from unknown authors is always a gamble. You never know if you will like the book and is burdened with the task of having to review it. But sometimes you truly enjoy the book and want to make efforts to showcase it as much as you are able.
An ancient evil looms over the city of Tarnath. We are introduced to three main protagonists one by one in a very Guy Ritchie style. Galen Thale – a thief, Tyrell Amalcheal – a mage and Nestor Canaith – a warrior, they all cross path in the most unexpected place – in jail. But soon are released and led to a wealthy but mysterious man Kellen Ambrose.
He asks for their help in destroying the evil 'dockside slayer' (Darian) that has been creating havoc in the city for a while now. Begrudgingly they agree to help despite animosity between each other. The story then leads to the trio saving Kellen from the hands of Darian – who is a powerful vampire – nearly escaping death itself. They soon realise that they do work extremely well together and learn of a blade (Gilgorad's Shadow Reaver) from an ancient Elvin lore that is so powerful it can destroy this creature.
They set out to find this magical artifact in the Thelvenin wood in the ruins of Khasharsta. There they encounter an elf who leads them to a secret passage and have many magical encounters. They even find the blade and sets out to destroy the evil vampire when a twist is introduced. How do they go forward from this and what happens next forms the rest of the story.
The first few pages had lured me in and I was highly impressed by the author who could capture my interest so soon. As I kept reading I felt I was reading a book that is somewhere a cross between Lord of the Rings meets The Prince of Persia & Van Helsing with a villain in an all powerful vampire.
Despite all the positives, I was a bit disappointed with the pacing – while it was well balanced with the character development, settings and adventures galore, it lacked a slow build up to everything. I liked that it was fast paced for a fantasy genre but somehow it made our investment in the story lesser than otherwise. But notwithstanding its only flaw, this is a book that should be up there in the big leagues.
Bibliogyan Verdict: Fans of high fantasy would enjoy this. Give it a try.
Thank you so much for this fantastic review. I sincerely appreciate it, and hope you all enjoy the story!


One of the scariest things about leaving your life behind for a few months to travel is having to tell friends, family and work. It's not an easy thing to do and undoubtedly there will be those that will discourage the idea or list off reasons why it's a bad idea. For the most part the response to my plans have been positive. Work understands and it's great now to be able to talk about the trip out in the open, even greater when people at work take an interest in what I'm doing. My family thinks it great and my friends are happy for me too.
The most common theme from the negative folks always leads back to money. "What about money?" "What about bills?" "Work now, save for something like this when you're retired!" Retired? Really? Why, so I can bank on being healthy enough when I'm 65 to do this. A lot of us won't make it that long, you're given one life and I'm sure as hell not going to look back on it with 'what ifs'. The time is now for this kind of trip for me. I'm not married, no kids (as far as I know) and at this time I have the resources to make it happen. I'm now in the final months of my employment in the Canadian Oil Sands in Northern Alberta. I fly here for 21 days at a time and work straight then fly back to Ottawa for 14 days off. Being away from home and spending quality time in airports has been a part of my life for two and half years now. If there is a spot available and they`ll have me back then I`ll return to work when the adventure is over.
If you are ever thinking of doing a trip like this, please don't let others doubts weigh into your decision. Do it for the right reason, do it for the desire to see the world outside the one you know, do it to see new lands and cultures, to eat new foods and most importantly do it to learn. If these things drive you and excite and the logistics are in place to do then just do it. Maybe wear a Nike shirt while just doing it.
In my opinion, and this is pretty broad, you're born then you die. It is what happens in between that makes your story. Make it a story you would want to read.

Pakistani national Ajmal Kasab, the sole surviving terrorist of the Mumbai terror attack of November 26, 2008, was hanged in a Pune jail at 7.30 am on Wednesday, after his mercy plea was rejected by President Pranab Mukherjee earlier this month.
Kasab had been buried inside the premises of Pune's Yerawada Central Jail shortly after the execution, Maharashtra chief minister Prithviraj Chavan told journalists.
Chavan said Kasab had been shifted from Mumbai's Arthur Road jail to Pune two days ago.
Kasab did not leave behind any will, the chief minister said.
The chilling images of Kasab's killing spree, captured by close-circuit TVs installed at Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus in Mumbai were rekindled, as Maharashtra home minister RR Patil announced the execution, carried out in complete secrecy.
"All the legal procedures in the 26/11 terror attacks case were completed," Patil told reporters in Mumbai, adding: "Accordingly, Kasab has been hanged this morning at 7.30 am in Yerawada Central Jail."
Kasab's end came five days before the fourth anniversary of the brutal terror attacks that claimed 166 lives and injured 300 people. Nine of his associates, who had sneaked into Mumbai for the three-day carnage, had been secretly buried in the city in January 2010.
The hanging also comes a day before the winter session of parliament and weeks ahead of Gujarat assembly election in December.
Union home minister said a letter was sent to the Pakistani High Commission in New Delhi, informing them of the decision to hang Kasab. When the letter was not accepted, a the same was faxed to Pakistan's foreign ministry. But there was no response.
Kasab -- who was barely 21 when he carried out the brutal attack -- was sentenced to death on four counts and to life sentence on five counts on charges including murder, waging a war on India and possessing weapons.
He was first sentenced to death by a special trial court on May 6, 2010.
The Bombay high court upheld the verdict Feb 21 last year, followed by a similar decision by the Supreme Court on Aug 29. Finally, President Mukherjee rejected his mercy plea Nov 5.
"It took the Maharashtra government less than two weeks to hang Kasab, after President Pranab Mukherjee rejected his mercy petition Nov 5. I forwarded it to the Maharashtra government on Nov 8," Union home minister Sushilkumar Shinde said in New Delhi.
"Pakistan has been informed but there is no demand for Kasab's body," he said, adding, the the entire operation had to be conducted under secrecy due to the sensitivities involved and all the due procedures were followed.
Soon after, reactions started pouring in.
The hanging of Kasab was a case of "better late than never", the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) said on Wednesday after the 26/11 Pakistani terrorist was executed in Pune's Yerawada jail.
"It took us four years to finally hang him. Better late than never," BJP spokesperson Ravi Shankar Prasad told mediapersons in New Delhi.
Asking the government to "expedite the whole process of mercy petitions", Prasad also demanded action against Afzal Guru, who masterminded the attack on parliament in December 2001.
"All the handlers, conspirators of the Mumbai attack still remain at large in Pakistan," Prasad said further.
BJP leader Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi termed the hanging as "a stern warning to the enemies of India especially those across the border who want to terrorise India".
Special Public Prosecutor Ujjwal Nikam, who appeared for state in the case, said with Kasab's hanging homage has now been paid to those lost their lives in the terror attacks.
"By Kasab's conviction and death penalty, we have proved how the entire conspiracy was hatched in Pakistan. We have set an example that India will not tolerate such attacks and the accused will be brought to justice," Nikam said.
Hours after Kasab was hanged in Pune, Human Rights Watch urged India to remove the death penalty from its legal framework.
"The hanging of Kasab marks a concerning end to the country's moratorium on capital punishment," said a statement from the US-based rights group issued in India.
"Instead of resorting to the use of execution to address heinous crime, India should join the rising ranks of nations that have taken the decision to remove the death penalty from their legal frameworks," it added.
"The first thing that comes to my mind is what happened is good. We are happy that we have got justice," wife of a railway ticket collector, who was killed in the 26/11 Mumbai carnage, said today reacting to Pakistan terrorist Ajmal Kasab's hanging.
Ragini Sharma, whose husband S K Sharma was killed in the 2008 terror strike, said she would like to thank the President for rejecting Kasab's mercy plea.
"I would like to thank the President. However, it got delayed but we did get justice. I am happy that it (the hanging) was done secretly, otherwide some human rights people would have opposed it," she said.
Vishnu Zende, an announcer at the Chhtrapati Shivaji Terminus, the railway station here which was one of the targets of the attack, said, "I had never thought that I would get to hear this news like this.
"I am very happy that he has been hanged. All the people who died in the terror attack have been given tribute by hanging him," Zende, who had helped save many lives by making announcements over the public address system in the station about the strike, said.
Advocate Ujwal Nikam who was the public prosecutor in this case expressed happiness over the move." We have exposed the modus operandi of terror groups operating from Pakistan and sent a message that terrorism will not be tolerated, " Nikam said.
"Yes, Kasab has been hanged this (Wednesday) morning at 7.30 a.m. in Yerawada Central Jail," special public prosecutor Ujjwal Nikam, who led the 26/11 terror attacks case, said.
Kasab was buried inside the premises of Pune's Yerawada Central jail shortly after he was hanged, Maharashtra chief minister Prithviraj Chavan said on Wednesday.
Chavan said Kasab had been shifted from Mumbai to Pune two days ago.
Kasab did not leave behind any will, the chief minister told journalists, adding that he had been buried in the jail premises on the outskirts of Pune.
Ajmal Kasab and nine fellow Lashkar-e-Taiba terrorists had sailed into Mumbai on November 26, 2008 from Karachi and gone on a shooting spree that killed 166 people. Kasab was the only one captured alive by security forces.
Kasab was sentenced to death in May 2010 after he was found guilty of a string of charges, including waging war against India, murder and terrorist acts.
He appealed in the Supreme Court claiming he did not receive a fair trial but his petition was struck down in August.
During the 2008 attacks, the heavily armed terrorists stormed targets in Mumbai including luxury hotels, a Jewish centre, a hospital and a bustling train station.
India blames the Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) militant organisation for training, equipping and financing the gunmen with support from "elements" in the Pakistan military.

Endangered bee population could be saved thanks to hemp plantations
Global warming is a dangerous phenomenon affecting the planet, and bees are no exception. As temperature rises, bee swarms have been decreasing dramatically in recent years, which have caught the attention of scientists who are constantly looking for a solution. The key could be in a research conducted by Cornell University, which points at hemp as a possible savior to the bee population.
A recent study conducted by Cornell University found that the Cannabis Sativa plants can attract up to 16 species of bees, and could be crucial in order to save the bee population that's already declining around the globe.
The university, located in New York, concluded that despite having no nectar, bees are attracted by the large amounts of pollen produced by hemp (a plant-derived from Cannabis Sativa). Moreover, the bigger the hemp plants, the more diverse the visitors.
In addition, the height of the plant is strongly correlated to the abundance of bees. According to the study, hemp plants measuring two or more meters can attract more bees than short plants.
In total, the study recorded that 16 different varieties of bees were found to swarm the vicinity of hemp crops.
If you want to know more about cannabis, how hemp plants could become a crucial element that would help save the bee population around the globe, and to find out the latest hemp news, download the Hemp.im mobile application.
Hemp plants could become a food source to bees swarms
Bees are pollinating agents par excellence. Through them, the crucial exchange of pollen between flowers takes place, thus allowing the reproduction of seeds and fruits necessary for the survival of the planet.
Unfortunately, due to global warming, abuse of pesticides and the excessive intensification of agriculture, the bee population has decreased dramatically in recent years. The good news is that hemp could help keep entire colonies of bees alive, serving as a substitute to many flowers that are being affected by global warming.
Even in periods of flower shortage, hemp has the capacity to produce enough pollen to nourish a diverse bee community. In this way, hemp would represent a key source of food for insects and a support in the pollination of crops.
"With the increase of its cultivation, producers, landowners, and policy-makers should consider the value of hemp to the bee community and take into account its attractiveness when developing pest control strategies," recommended the study entitled "Environmental Entomology".
Hemp plants will not affect the honey produced by the bees
The authors of this research made it clear that despite their association with hemp, bees will not produce honey rich in THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), the psychoactive constituent found in cannabis plants.
Also, the presence of THC in hemp pollen will probably not have an impact on bee development 'due to the loss of cannabinoid receptors in insects.'
As the cannabis market grows around the world at a fast pace, many related industries are looking to develop this sector. This boom of cannabis or "green rush" as some calls it, could be the missing piece to find a solution to the bee problem worldwide. This would be achievable as a natural consequence of the growing industry, due to countries legalizing the cultivation of cannabis plants and the development of cannabis and industrial hemp sectors.
The growth of the hemp industry could help revitalize the world's bee population. However, non-chemical methods of pest control will have to be sought to enable bees to obtain the complete nutrients from hemp, necessary for effective and natural development.

Carefully examine your coupons, as many will state "Do not double," getting rid of that option.

Some even have digital coupons that you can scan from your smart phone while in the store. Or if you are online shopping, they may provide a coupon farfetch discount code for your use.

To achieve long-term total return by investing at least two-thirds of the Fund's assets in fixed interest securities which are SubInvestment Grade and denominated in Euro and issued by corporations or government related bodies.
The Fund may invest up to 100% of its net asset value in sub-investment grade or unrated debt and debt-related securities.
For the purpose of the Fund, "unrated debt security" is defined as a debt security which neither the debt security itself nor its issuer has a credit rating.
Investment involves risks. Please refer to the offering document of Aberdeen Global for details including the risk factors.
1. Risk of investing in debt and debt-related securities
The Fund's investments in debt and debt-related securities are subject to interest rate risk and credit risk.
Interest rate fluctuations will affect the capital value of investments. Where long term interest rates rise, the capital value of shares is likely to fall and vice versa. Interest rate risk is the chance that such movements in interest rates will negatively affect the value of a security or, in a Fund's case, its net asset value. Securities with greater interest rate sensitivity and longer maturities tend to produce higher yields, but are subject to greater fluctuations in value.
Credit risk reflects the ability of the borrower (bond issuer) to meet its obligations (pay the interest on a bond and return the capital on redemption date). Changes in the financial condition of an issuer, changes in economic and political conditions in general, or changes in economic and political conditions specific to an issuer, are all factors that may have an adverse impact on an issuer's credit quality and security values.
Where a bond market has a low number of buyers and/or a high number of sellers, it may be harder to sell particular bonds at an anticipated price and/or in a timely manner.
As a result of the above circumstances, the net asset value of the Fund may be adversely affected.
2. Sovereign debt risk
Investment in debt obligations issued or guaranteed by governments of certain developed and developing countries or their agencies and instrumentalities ("governmental entities") involves a higher degree of risk. The governmental entity that controls the repayment of sovereign debt may not be able or willing to repay the principal and/or interest when due in accordance with the terms of such debt.
A governmental entity's willingness or ability to repay principal and interest due in a timely manner may be affected by, among other factors, its cash flow situation, the extent of its foreign reserves, the availability of sufficient foreign exchange on the date a payment is due, the relative size of the debt service burden to the economy as a whole, the governmental entity's policy towards the International Monetary Fund and the political constraints to which a governmental entity may be subject.
Governmental entities may default on their sovereign debt. Holders of sovereign debt, including the Fund, may be requested to participate in the rescheduling of such debt and to extend further loans to governmental entities.
In light of ongoing concerns on the sovereign debt risk of certain countries within the Eurozone, the Fund's investments in the region may be subject to higher volatility, liquidity, currency and default risks. Any adverse events, such as credit downgrade of a sovereign or exit of EU members from the Eurozone, may have a negative impact on the value of the Fund.
4. Risk of investing in sub-investment grade bonds
The Fund invests in fixed interest securities, including sub-investment grade securities. Consequently, the Fund's portfolio may have a significant position in sub-investment grade bonds, which means that there is more risk to investor's capital and income than from a fund investing in investment grade bonds.
The Fund may invest in sub-investment grade fixed interest securities which is subject to a higher credit risk and a greater possibility of default than investment grade bonds. If the issuer defaults, or sub-investment grade bonds or their underlying assets cannot be realised, or performed badly, investors may suffer substantial losses.
In addition, the market for bonds which are rated below investment grade, have a lower credit rating or are unrated generally has lower liquidity and less active than that for higher rated bonds and the Fund's ability to liquidate its holdings in response to changes in the economy or the financial markets may be further limited by such factors as adverse publicity and investor perceptions.
Investment in sub-investment grade bonds involves greater price volatility and risk of loss of principal and income than investment in bonds of a higher investment grade quality.
The Fund has a significant exposure to one currency (i.e. Euro) and is likely to be more volatile than a more widely invested fund.
Lack of liquidity may adversely affect the value or ease of disposal of assets.
7. Counterparty Risk
The Fund may enter into contracts that entail a credit exposure to certain counterparties such as bond issuers and counterparties of derivatives. To the extent that a counterparty defaults on its obligation and the Fund is delayed or prevented from exercising its rights with respect to the investments in its portfolio, it may experience a decline in the value of its position, a loss of income and possible additional costs associated with asserting its rights.
The Board of Directors of Aberdeen Global may at its discretion pay dividends out of the capital of the Fund or pay dividends out of gross income while charging/ paying all or part of the Fund's fees and expenses to/ out of the capital of the Fund, resulting in an increase in distributable income for the payment of dividends by the Fund and therefore, the Fund may effectively pay dividends out of capital.
Payment of dividends out of capital amounts to a return or withdrawal of part of an investor's original investment or from any capital gains attributable to that original investment. Any distributions involving payment of dividends out of the Fund's capital or payment of dividends effectively out of the Fund's capital (as the case may be) may result in an immediate reduction of the net asset value per share.
If Aberdeen Global intends to change the dividend policy, Aberdeen Global will seek the SFC's prior approval and provide shareholders with prior written notification of not less than one month (or such other period as the SFC may require).
9. Risk of Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act ("FATCA")
10. General risk
The value of shares and the income from them can go down as well as up and you may not get back the amount invested.


Last December, I visited Under Armour's New York office to take a first look at the company's new suite of connected fitness gear, which includes a wristband fitness tracker, chest-strap heart rate monitor, smart scale, wireless headphones, and connected shoes. UA's goal is to offer a single, connected ecosystem for buyers who want to monitor all their fitness data—and so far, the hardware delivers on that promise. Under Armour says this launch is just the start; the company will bring more of its apparel into this connected system.
The wristband, scale, and chest strap are sold together in the HealthBox for $400 and are slated to ship February 15. Each piece can also be purchased separately. The wireless headphones cost an additional $180, and the upcoming heart rate–monitoring headphones (available later this year) will cost $250. The SpeedForm Gemini 2 Record Equipped shoes will be available February 29 for $150.
For the past two months, I've been testing the gear daily. The UA Band on my wrist wakes me up every morning, seven hours after I hit the sack, with a gentle vibration. I then step on the UA scale, which shows how much progress I've made toward my target weight and body-fat percentage and syncs automatically via Wi-Fi to the UA Record app. I open the app on my phone, which shows my resting heart rate from the previous night.
After logging breakfast in the MyFitnessPal app (also owned by Under Armour), I go for a run. I put on the wireless headphones, the SpeedForm Gemini 2 Record Equipped shoes, and chest strap. The strap turns on and syncs automatically by touch to the phone. As I run, a small LED light on the wristband shows my current heart rate zone as recorded from the chest strap. The shoes automatically sync my time, distance, and splits.
All of this data is recorded on the Record app as I try to reach my daily goals for activity, workouts, nutrition, and sleep. Now, let's dive into the details.
The Good: All the hardware connects flawlessly, making continuous tracking easy. It's also all beautifully designed.
The Bad: The price tag. The entire suite of gear costs up to $800. Of course, each item can also be purchased separately.
The Verdict: Individually, these are some of the best fitness-tracking products on the market. Together, they give you a near unparalleled perspective on your fitness data. A single wristband is great, but if you want to geek out over numbers, multiple devices and sensors working together are even better.
The shoes are my favorite part of the whole setup. The heel cup's one-piece molded design makes these runners extremely stable, while the mesh on top and elastic-like material around the ankle offer a sock-like feel. I found the soles to be much more supportive than those of the Nike Flyknit.
Here's what makes them smart: a chip in the shoe tracks time, pace, and total distance. I found it to be more accurate than the GPS on my phone, and it can track up to five runs before syncing.
The shoes have automatically tracked my runs since I first synced them to the MapMyRun app—I haven't had to manually start recording a run. The shoes also sync with third-party apps, but the process isn't quite as simple.
The UA Band is simple but does all the basics well. It tracks steps and resting heart rate when you're asleep; has a vibrating alarm; relays calls, texts, and calendar events; and tracks various kinds of workouts. It won't measure your heart rate throughout the day—you'll need the chest strap for that—and you can't respond to messages like you can with the Apple Watch, but frankly, that's okay.
Other pros: it's comfortable, with a dimpled underside and thin clasp. It also has a five-day battery life and charges in just 25 minutes.
Wrist-based heart rate trackers still aren't quite as accurate as chest straps. So if you're really invested in your training, it's nice to have a chest strap for serious workouts.
This strap synced easily with the wristband to show heart rate data and calories burned. During a workout, a small LED on the side of the Band displays your current heart-rate zone in real time. It's an easy, quick reference showing whether you should increase or slow your pace depending on a set target. The chest strap has no screens or buttons—it just turns on automatically when you touch it. I've yet to have an issue with it.
Like most modern scales, this one from UA measures weight and body fat percentage. What makes it special is how easily it connects to the rest of the fitness gear. It'll automatically send stats via Wi-Fi to your digital profile.
The scale allows multiple users to save profiles and automatically registers the correct user based on approximate weight. If you have multiple users who all weigh about the same, you can manually select a profile before stepping up.
The wireless headphones, manufactured by Harman's* JBL, have very large earbuds. I wasn't sure they'd fit when I first saw them, but they turned out to be incredibly comfortable and have yet to fall out during a run or workout.
The battery life is comparable to that of other Bluetooth headphones and will last about eight hours. Like the Band, the earbuds charge very quickly.
Under Armour plans to release a new edition of these headphones later this year that include in-ear heart rate monitoring, which we've found to be as accurate as a chest strap.
*The name of the company has been corrected.

Q: Difference between 2 event handlers assignments Assume we have a simple html-page with one script:

 Hi, 2

next

It doesn't work (I tried under Chrome and FF). But when I write script code as

it works! As for me, theese two pieces of code differs only in function definition, but in practice it is not the same.
BTW, even if onpopstate event fires, event is undefined. It is one more unclear thing for me. Thank you for a help.

A: As @Sampson stated.. they are not the same...
On the second example, window.onpopstate is being populated with the result of the execution of pp. In this case, this function returns undefined so window.onpopstate is undefined after that. You see the alert, of course, but window.onpopstate is undefined.
On the first example, window.onpopstate is populated with the function itself, which is what's actually expected. If you see the docs, onpopstate expects a funcRef, which is exactly what you're passing in as argument.
Bottom line: On the second example you see the alert because you're calling the function but the first one is the correct one. In order to actually see the onpopstate being fired you should add to the browser history, but that's another story...

A: Firstly in second snippet you have function call pp(), and you probabbly ment window.onpopstate=pp.
Secondly it works when you do manualy history.pushState({page: 1}, "title 1", "?page=1"); and then history.back(); or just click back button. No idea why clicking link don't add entry in history.

Egypt to take decision this week on reopening houses of worship, restaurants
A government spokesman said the religious endowments ministry has been preparing mosques to reopen

Egypt considers 'gradual resumption' of int'l flights in 2nd half of June or 1st half of July: Cabinet spokesman
The Egyptian government will take a decision on the reopening of houses of worship, restaurants, clubs and cinemas by the end of this week, a spokesman said yesterday.
Cabinet spokesman Nader Saad told Al-Hadath channel that the government is expected to take a decision on the reopening of houses of worship, cinemas, sports and social clubs and restaurants after a meeting this week of the committee set up to manage the coronavirus crisis.
Saad said the religious endowments ministry is "well-prepared" for the resumption of prayers in mosques, and that the cabinet would probably announce the re-opening of mosques by the end of the week.
Egypt suspended prayers at mosques in March in an effort to contain the spread of coronavirus.
The Coptic Orthodox Church, the country's largest denomination, has also closed its churches.
It said on Saturday that it would extend the suspension of services and activities at its churches until 27 June, when it would reassess the situation.
Government spokesman Saad said that the religious endowments ministry, which runs mosques nationwide, has prepared around 320,000 metres of new carpeting for mosques, as well as disinfectants, and has been installing instructions and floor signs to allow for social distancing.
He added that all mosque bathrooms and areas for wudu, a ritual cleansing that worshippers complete before prayer, will by remain shut, and congregants will be obliged to wear masks and bring their own prayer mats.
According to Saad, the government is also expected to discuss this week the reopening of sports and social clubs, cinemas, and the resumption of in-house dining in restaurants.
Saad said that restaurants have been suffering financially as a result of the crisis. He also said that if they are allowed to open they will have to adhere to restrictive measures and will not be able to operate at full capacity.
Local authorities will supervise their commitment to the precautionary measures, and violators will have their licenses suspended, he said.
Restaurants are currently only allowed to provide delivery or takeout services.
A gradual resumption of international flights will also be announced this week or next week, according to Saad, to take place either late June or early July.
The spokesman said the government is moving towards the gradual reopening of the economy despite the daily increase in coronavirus cases; however, the speed of the reopening process would be revisited at the next meeting, given the current circumstances.
"There is no conflict between the increase in cases and the gradual reopening of economy, as long as that reopening is disciplined," Saad said.
Egypt has recorded 26,384 coronavirus cases so far, and 1,005 deaths.
Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly said on Monday that the country is expected to witness a surge in the number of new cases in the next two weeks.
Egypt has been looking in the past few weeks to pull back on some of the heavy restrictions introduced in recent months, while urging people to maintain social distancing and other preventive measures when these changes are made.
Hotels that have passed strict new safety licensing measures have been allowed to reopen to domestic tourists at 50 percent occupancy rates.
Many governmental services have also resumed, as have court sessions.

Fruit Trade Coach. - three simple words strung together as FruitTradeCoach.com to keep the techies happy.
Individually, each one syllable word is easy to understand. As 'one word', with a .com added at the end to complicate matters further, the meaning changes - and substantially to boot.
Hello there. My name is Hans Maurer and I am your Fruit Trade Coach.
This bold statement of mine clearly deserves some explanation which is really quite simple.
Nowhere on the Internet are you able to visit and learn about the fruit trade in a comprehensive, holistic and objective manner. Sure, you can find hundreds of commercial sites offering fruits and vegetables for sale. Universities which offer horticulture, food marketing or supply chain degrees are also represented plentiful, as are agriculture government ministries, trade associations, retailers and NGOs. But there is not one site where you can go, either as an industry professional or as a consumer, to really learn what makes the fruit trade tick! I have yet to find such a site - and a little while ago I decided to stop waiting for someone else to get his or her act together but to tackle the project myself.
And as everyone involved in the entire fruit & vegetable supply chain always thinks "...and vegetables" when they hear fruit being mentioned, I decided 'no harm done'. Which is why there is straight away a bonus for you. You expected to land on the authoritative fruit trade website...and you are getting vegetables as well.
This site does not give advice on how to grow fruits & vegetables and I am not a chef. Therefore, please do not expect to see this site peppered with recipes. FruitTradeCoach.com instead concerns itself with the process of getting fruits and vegetables from the grower to the consumer and the steps and circumstances that play a part in this process. You can get a fair idea of what I consider to be part of the process by looking at the navigational bars to the left which allow you to drill deeper into the site itself and gain a greater understanding of the global fruits & vegetables trade.
There were several other terms I could have used to describe what I will attempt to do on this site. Analyst, strategist, futurist all came to mind straight away, followed by a few more obscure options. In the end I settled on coach because it is "short and snappy", thus keeping the techies happy, and, more importantly, it contains an applied message to you.
Being coached is not a one-off occurrence but a process over time. A coach is therefore someone you visit more than just once, whether the coaching theme is football, baseball or knowledge! And as coaching is a serious business, you won't find too many funny photos here. I would not want to interfere with your learning journey here. For light relief, please check out our Facebook site.
Building this site will clearly not be an overnight phenomenon either. Instead, it will be a journey. A journey which I look forward to sharing with you and where I am looking to you for guidance, feedback and suggestions. As the site grows and develops, I will provide you with technology based feedback opportunities and I would be delighted to hear from you.

MasterPass is an easy and reliable tool for online shopping from anywhere globally.
MasterCard is making booking travel easier and faster. The payment giant has added JetBlue as its latest merchant to accept digital payments with MasterPass, a digital payments platform that enhances the online and mobile checkout process. The service will be available on the airline's website and mobile app later this year.
MasterPass by MasterCard was launched in 2013 and is currently available in 29 countries. MasterPass payments are accepted at 250,000 merchants all over the world. Wherever customers see the "Buy with MasterPass" button, they can use this free and easy-to-set up payment method.
"Planning a getaway with JetBlue is exciting and something to look forward to," said Michael Cyr, group executive, U.S. Market Development, MasterCard. "With your payment credentials securely stored in MasterPass, the toughest thing you'll have to do is decide where you want JetBlue to take you."
MasterPass considerably facilitates the payment process for thousands of customers. The wallet automatically saves such information as preferred payment and shipping details. Thus during next payment, a customer needs only to click on the "Buy with MasterPass" button and sign into their account.
"We are always looking for new ways to offer customers a great experience at every step in their travel and that starts with booking your flight," said Mike Stromer, vice president digital loyalty and customer insights, JetBlue. "MasterPass adds a fast and simple way to complete a booking, and we look forward to adding it into our mobile app and online experience later this year."
Current cooperation between MasterCard and JetBlue is not the first one. In October 2015 the companies announced that MasterCard would be a network partner for JetBlue's co-brand portfolio.
Earlier this year MasterCard announced that Walmart would accept MasterPass in 2016. Walmart is American largest multinational retail corporation controlling a chain of hypermarkets, discount department stores and grocery stores.
MasterPass by MasterCard is a digital payments platform that enhances the online and mobile checkout process. "We have enjoyed a longstanding business relationship with Walmart and are pleased to expand this into the online and mobile channels through MasterPass," said Michael Cyr, group executive, U.S. Market Development at MasterCard. "With MasterPass, consumers can go online, place their order and pay with just a click. The burden of entering delivery and billing information is eliminated, further enhancing the Walmart online customer experience."
MasterCard is a leader in the global payments industry offering the world's fastest payments processing network, connecting consumers, financial institutions, merchants, governments and businesses. It is currently available in more than 210 countries and territories. MasterCard is doing its utmost to make shopping, or to be more exact, payment process as easy, fast and reliable as possible.

Israel demolished two homes in Silwan, south of Al-Aqsa Mosque in East Jerusalem, today claiming they were constructed without a license, eye witnesses said.
"Abu Subaih's home consists of three rooms and he lived in it with his five family members. As for Abu Rajab's home, it was made up of two apartments he lived in with seven family members and his mother," sources reported.
These demolitions occurred after Israeli media outlets reported a few days ago that the Israeli Mayor of Jerusalem Nir Barkat approved a series of sanctions against Palestinians in the city, including demolishing unlicensed homes "in order to stop the phenomenon of throwing rocks".
Various clashes between the Palestinian youth and Israeli forces have continued in a number of neighbourhoods in East Jerusalem since last July.
Palestinian, Israeli and international human rights organisations noted that while the municipality has been increasingly giving building permits to Israelis in East Jerusalem, it is restricting construction work done by Palestinians, which forces many to build without permits.
The Planning and Building Committee of the Israeli Ministry of Interior approved the construction of 500 settlement units in Ramat Shlomo settlement in Shuafat in northern Jerusalem yesterday which provoked Palestinian and international criticism.
I do not understand, statement Israel land, isn't all land you mentioned in the blog belong to Palestinians. Just because Israel has occupied the land for some time does not now mean it is now Israel's.

The Occipital occipital bone is ontogenetically and functionally unique when compared to the other bones of the skull in humans and other mammalian cousins. The Occipital occipital bone develops from six ossification centers; any defect in the ossification process will give rise to mendosal suture (accessory suture) and conditions like posterior plagiocephaly. There is a paucity of literature regarding the mendosal suture and further more, its report in Indian population is not known. The present study was conducted to find out the occurrence of mendosal suture in the Indian dry skulls. Fifteen specimens (3%) were found to have these sutures out of five hundred500 skulls examined. Nine (3.1%) samples are of male skulls out of two hundred ninety (290) and six (2.85%) samples are that of female skulls out of two hundred ten210. The mendosal suture ran close to the superior nuchal line in all specimens and traveled medially from the lambdoidal suture. The length of the sutures ranged from 0.8 cm to 2.6 cm (1.88 cm) on the right side and 1.4 cm to 2.9 cm (1.94 cm) on the left side respectively in male skulls; and 0.7 cm to 2.8 cm (1.55 cm) on the right side and 1 cm to 2.4 cm (1.42 cm) on the left side, respectively, in female skulls. The origin of mendosal suture from the lambdoidal suture was 5.7 cm to -6.3 cm (5.98 cm) from the tip of the mastoid process on the right side and 5.6 to -6.3 cm (6 cm) on the left side, respectively, in male skulls; and 5.4 cm to -5.8 cm (5.58 cm) on the right side and 5.4 cm to -5.6 cm on the left side respectively in female skulls. The occurrence and clinical significance of the present study is discussed.

The length of the sutures ranged from 0.8 cm to 2.6 cm (1.88 cm) on the right side and 1.4 cm to 2.9 cm (1.94 cm) on the left side respectively in male skulls; and 0.7 cm to 2.8 cm (1.55 cm) on the right side and 1 cm to 2.4 cm (1.42 cm) on the left side, respectively, in female skulls. The origin of mendosal suture from the lambdoidal suture was 5.7 cm to -6.3 cm (5.98 cm) from the tip of the mastoid process on the right side and 5.6 to -6.3 cm (6 cm) on the left side, respectively, in male skulls; and 5.4 cm to -5.8 cm (5.58 cm) on the right side and 5.4 cm to -5.6 cm on the left side respectively in female skulls. The occurrence and clinical significance of the present study is discussed.

AUSTIN, Texas — The Austin Independent School District said it plans to create temporary learning centers for elementary-aged children of essential workers who are physically present at the job site responding to COVID-19. The children it will benefit are those in kindergarten through fifth grade.
AISD said there are a lot of moving parts and don't have additional details about when this will be implemented nor how kids will be socially distanced in classrooms.
According to AISD, essential workers include AISD personnel, such as custodians, food services personnel, police and transportation personnel. It also includes personnel in the city, such as first responders like police, emergency medical services, firefighters and dispatchers.

Grocery store employees, health care service providers, transit service providers and pharmacy employees are also included under essential employees who can benefit from AISD learning centers.
These centers will be established as part of a collaborative effort among state,
county and local entities being made through the Child Care Task Force. AISD said it's to ensure that workers, who maintain critical medical and local services, have a safe and supportive environment for their children while their parents and caregivers continue to work.

In mid 2015 Retrotrials.com visited the JGas / Jotagas factory in Girona to say hello , see thier new bike and to learn what thier plans are . Here is a short report interspersed with some factory studio photos as well as many of the photos that i took of the new 2016 Trials model .
Its not secret , i have a soft spot for Jotagas which really stemmed from my interest in the 80's and 90'World of Trial which was dominated by the bikes creator Jordi Tarres . Another key figure in the company was ex Merlin and GasGas factory rider Joan Freixas , so the competition had no chance :) . The fact that the bike is just jaw dropping gorgeous and rides brilliantly was just a bonus.
I also respect a small company for taking on the big guns at their own game. Its a brave job making your own trial motorcycle , as im sure we all appreciate.
So , on my last visit i took some photos of the new 2016 Jotagas model for you to view close up. The photos are interspersed with a little factory information.
Jordi Pasquet is one of the brand ambassadors for Jotagas and can be seen here riding the first model from 2012.
Pasquet is one of 3 partners in the retail company of Jotagas racing. Jotagas .SA is the company representing the factory and entirely owned by Josep Pibernat , the former co GasGas and Hebo founder.
Anyway ----- here are a few official factory photos ...as large as i could get them :).
The Jotagas range of Trials bikes has been constantly evolving since the companies creation in 2010. The company invested 2 years of research and development before the first model was released in 2012. Despite this rigorous testing we ( the public ) still managed to break some and of course the company regrets these issues but lets face it ....it hardly unheard of for a new marque to suffer problems with its opening model. Over the short few years Jotagas have been producing ,the chiseled design has remained the same however there have been hundreds of large and small changes , many to the same parts , to get them working entirely correctly and offer the level of reliability and performance expected .
From a personal point of view , when i bought my first Jotagas back in 2013 i had had a hankering for a new new bike for quite a while . As soon as i saw the Jotagas for the first time i just fell in love with it. It is without doubt the most gorgeous modern Trials bike i have ever seen. The quality is apparent everywhere. The forged aluminium chassis just oodles top class quality . It is expensive fabrication , of that there is no doubt . Just compare the Jotagas with other marques available with tubular steel frames.The amount of design , technical ability and engineering that goes into a making a chassis must be far greater than the tubular steel frames which originated before the days of the Sherpa T. Given a day to myself in the workshop and a few cans of Redbull i recon i could knock together a tubular steel chassis myself. I am of course joking to make a point . Imagine making the Jotagas chassis !. Only a few people could manage that. To my mind the Jotagas is leaps and bounds ahead in terms of quality , finish as well as being very pleasing to the eye .
The steel frames ride well , but kg for kg , are you getting anywhere near the same craftmanship ?. I think not.
Of course , a rider's results don't depend on the quality of the fabrication. Riders need performance as well. The engine delivers smooth controllable power , which is very flat at the bottom. This bike does not surge power , its is very controllable.
For someone who appreciates quality and beauty , the Jotagas delivers. It never fails to make me smile ,every time i see it :).
The Jotagas is simply stunning. The company is a much smaller than its Catalan neighbours and of course the budgetary restrictions that this effects mean the presence on the World is smaller. Should this really effect the typical rider ? of course not . The Jotagas has been proven at World level , British Championship level as well as at the SSDT.
For 2016 Jotagas feature revised Olle rears shocks once again . This improved shock has been tested by Andorran Trial rider and FIM section chief Jordi Pasquet along with a number of other variations and this was chosen as the best . This is welcome after some poor reports of the Elk units fitted last year . The gearbox has had several internal modifications , including a stronger selector shaft and other adjustments adjustments. The engine comes fitted with a low compression cylinder head insert which eliminates pinking at revs , which some riders experienced in the past.
Most of the Jotagas parts are sourced locally in Spain and Europe with only the plastics coming from further afield. The engine crank cases , gears , cylinder head and piston come from the same local suppliers as some other manufacturers.
Its not the first time ive seen a Jotagas fork sticker on upside down , and it probably wont be the last.
The chassis is hand Tig welded.
The sump shields are now much thicker than the earlier ones.
The ignition has 2 power settings , controlled by this switch under the petrol tank.
Jotagas have had problems . Of this, there is no doubt . The biggest problems that the factory has not been receptive to thier importers . They have not listened to them and not looked after them . As a result mistrust developed and some importers have left them. Now Jotagas are trying to regain the ground they once had and go further still .....and its not easy. Competition is tough .
Have Jotagas now realised that it needs to look after everyone out here in the Trial World ?. It has been a humbling experience for them and only time will tell if they have changed .
But things are looking up . They have established several new importers and have a new client manager has been employed specifically to look after them.
Haven motorcycles are now importing Jotagas into the UK. They have the machines in stock and spares back up in stock .
Why did the brand name JGas revert back to Jotagas in 2016 ?
Its simple .A number of decal sketches were drawn up by their graphic designer who works for an independant company that produce the decals for all Catalan Trials bikes. The designer was aware of the 2 names Jotagas and JGas and drew sketches accordingly. This was the design that was prefered and hence was chosen. Sorry to dissapoint those speculating that it had deeper meaning .
Jotagas - JTG. They are the same.
Having followed the company closely since 2012 through good times and bad , I am very sure that Jotagas are here to stay. As i have said before the Jotagas owner Josep Pibernat does not give up . He has been making motorcycles longer than the other manufacturers have been out of high school. As the man soley responsible for the running of the GasGas factory he has helped design hundreds of different motorcycle models taking turnover at its peak to 60,000,000 euros. This was because he created the best bikes and sold thousands of them each year , commanding the greatest share of the market. At some time most of us have owned a GasGas .
Josep Pibernat's real passion is engineering and he is obsessed with tech , having the experience with different metal grades , different tolerences that others do not.
If Jotagas were going to disappear , they would have done so already . The Jotagas will continued to evolve and improve . This guy is unstoppable and not to be underestimated.
The factory is producing and every bike they make is sold. The company has a new factory nearby in Alot , Spain with very experienced mechanics. The existing factory location is being used for R and D as well as engine assembly.
They are already working on significant chassis changes for future trials models and have 3 prototypes up and running. They also have Enduro models in the pipeline , which have been featured in earlier retrotrials reports .
To under estimate Jotagas is comparable to under estimating GasGas in the 1980's.
So ....what is it to be ? .
