A price of a common Gari soakings at Kempinski Hotel Gold Coast City Accra cost GHC145.00 and this got everyone talking when a photo bearing its recipe hit social media today, June 7.
The photo which was first shared on Facebook by Last 2 record label owner Da' Hammer took everyone by surprise.
Now get the breakdown of why it costs such amount. According to the management of the popular hotel, the recipe of the toothsome include; Cassava flakes, smoked nuts, sugar, ice cube milk, fresh skimmed milk, water and shaved coconut.
And that's why it amounted to GHC145.00. The image is a screen grab of the Hotel's tweet but we at Ghanafuo.com can't confirm if it's true. But if it is, prepare yourself very well before dating or hanging out at the 5-star hotel.
Do you think their branding is doing this magic for them or just way to much to afford? Let us have your views below.


San Francisco, California (March 25, 2003) - The International Cooperation for the Integration of Processes in Prepress, Press, and Postpress (CIP4) today announced the appointment of James E. Harvey to the position of Executive Director. To date, public communication regarding CIP4's activities and its Job Definition Format (JDF) specification for print and publishing process automation had been managed primarily by volunteers from member companies. With increasing demand for more information and communication regarding the development of JDF, the CIP4 Advisory Board recognized the merit of having professional representation. In his capacity as Executive Director, Harvey will represent CIP4 at key industry events, developing presentations and technology updates on JDF, educational seminars to clarify issues related to JDF development and product implementation, user case studies to promote adoption of the JDF standard and an international outreach program to bring JDF programs to users at the local level. "At this critical juncture of JDF implementation, it was important to bring on an executive director who is conversant with JDF," said CIP4's CEO Martin Bailey. "James Harvey more than fills this requirement with his history of working with CIP4 on the Job Definition Format specification. He not only has background with JDF and process automation, having written articles about JDF for various industry publications and given presentations on JDF at industry events, but also has a vast array of experience in standards implementation for various industry segments." "I think this will be an exciting assignment," Harvey added. "I'm greatly impressed by the strong commitment vendors are putting into JDF development, and even more impressed by the degree of cooperation I've seen between vendors. I believe this will result in huge gains for our industry and look forward to working with both vendors and users through this transition to JDF. In two years the science of print production and publishing is going to look a lot different than its does today." Harvey is president of Media4TheWorld, LLC, a technical and management consulting company serving the printing and publishing industries, in the metropolitan Washington, DC area. Since founding his business in early 2001, he has worked on new program development for the Technical Association of the Graphic Arts. Prior to starting Media4TheWorld, Harvey served as vice president of Spectrum Operations at Graphic Communications Association (now IDEAlliance), and was responsible for management of GRACoL (General Requirements for Applications of Commercial offset Lithography), the CtP Users' Group, the Industry Architecture Project, SPACE (Specifications for Agency Publisher Communications Exchange) and numerous other technical activities. He also managed many industry events include the Spectrum, Direct!, Impact!, ColorConnections, Meterology Workshops, and the Digital Smart Factory conference programs. Prior to GCA, Harvey was a business development manager at Volt Information Sciences where he pioneered SGML services and applications, CD-ROM publishing and hypermedia, and object-oriented document management for major publishers, corporations and federal agencies. "CIP4 is pleased to have Jim working with us to communicate the need and potential of JDF to the industry." continued Bailey. "His experience working with the Technical Association of the Graphic Arts, Graphic Communications Association, Digital Ad Lab and other organizations will be critical to CIP4's success in raising awareness of, and interest, in JDF and JDF products, as well as implementing our strategic plan to promote the CIP4 agenda through other international organizations."

Dr Disrespect Is Back On Twitch
The popular streamer Dr Disrespect (a.k.a. Herschel "Guy" Beahm) was suspended from Twitch and had his E3 badge revoked when he broadcast from a public restroom at the annual expo earlier this month. Now, two weeks later, his channel is back online.
Considering how he got suspended in the first place (which appears to be a violation of California law), two weeks may not seem like a meaningful punishment. Even though Dr Disrespect's personality is built on being controversial and pushing boundaries, that doesn't absolve him of responsibility for his actions.
At the same time, Twitch decides the terms of its platform and how to enforce them, and a popular streamer being offline indefinitely isn't good for its business.

Oscar E. "Reddy" Foster (August 1864 – December 19, 1908) was a Major League Baseball (MLB) player for the New York Giants in 1896. His only MLB appearance was on June 3 of that season. He primarily played catcher in his minor league career, which spanned 17 seasons. Foster was a manager as well. He was known for his fiery temper and his heavy drinking. Foster died on December 19, 1908, when he deliberately shot himself in the head with a shotgun.

Early minor league career
Oscar E. Foster, nicknamed Reddy, was born sometime in August 1864 in Richmond, Virginia. In 1890, he played 27 games as an outfielder for the  Lebanon, Pennsylvania, entry in the Eastern Interstate League. In 27 games, he batted .202 with 12 runs scored, 21 hits, 1 double, 3 triples, 2 home runs, and 9 stolen bases.

In 1894, Foster joined the Richmond Crows of the newly-formed Virginia League, excelling at the catcher position according to baseball historian Frank Russo. No statistics are recorded from his 1894 season. In 1895, he played 102 games, batting .276 with 93 runs scored, 110 hits, 26 doubles, 4 triples, 6 home runs, and 41 stolen bases. He split 1896 between multiple teams. In 51 games for Richmond, he batted .279 with 51 runs scored, 55 hits, 11 doubles, 3 triples, 2 home runs, and 46 stolen bases. Foster also played 59 games for the New York Metropolitans of the Atlantic League, batting .281 with 55 runs scored, 63 hits, 15 doubles, 5 triples, 1 home run, and 40 stolen bases. That gave him a total of 86 stolen bases in the minor leagues in 1896.

New York Giants
During the 1896 season, Foster also played in his only Major League Baseball (MLB) game. It was for the New York Giants on June 3, when they were playing the Chicago Colts at the Polo Grounds. Foster was hitless in his only at bat of the game as Chicago defeated New York by a score of 14–8.

Later minor league career
For 1897, Foster returned to Richmond, this time with the Richmond Giants of the Atlantic League. In 106 games, he batted .256 with 53 runs scored, 91 hits, 16 doubles, 6 triples, 3 home runs, and 35 stolen bases. He played for the league's Allentown Peanuts in 1898, though statistics from this year are unavailable.

In 1899, Foster played for three Connecticut League teams. With the Bristol Bell Makers, he batted .304 with 56 runs scored, 94 hits, 19 doubles, 4 triples, 2 home runs, and 21 stolen bases. He also played for the Waterbury Rough Riders and the New London Whalers, though his statistics from these teams are not recorded. With these teams, Foster played mainly as a catcher, but he also served as an outfielder, second baseman, and third baseman.

The Richmond Blue Birds and the Hampton Crabs both employed Foster during the 1900 campaign. With Richmond, he batted .191 with 16 runs scored, 25 hits, 4 doubles, 0 triples, 0 home runs, and 9 stolen bases in 33 games. He only played 14 games for Hampton, batting .271 with 3 runs scored, 13 hits, 3 doubles, 0 triples, 0 home runs, and 3 stolen bases. Most of these appearances were at the catcher position, though Foster was also used as an outfielder and first baseman with Richmond. He played for the Tarboro Tartars of the North Carolina League in 1901. On July 29, his manager, Henry Bryan, got the police to arrest Barley Kain, manager of a team located in Darlington, South Carolina, for trying to get Foster to play for his team. Foster's statistics with Tarboro and the Davenport River Rats of the Illinois-Indiana-Iowa League, for whom he played in 1902, are unavailable.

Foster managed several of his teams, most notably one located in Bluefield, West Virginia. In 1906, he returned as a player with the Norfolk Tars of the Virginia League. Then, he moved to the Portsmouth Truckers of the same league that year, serving as their player-manager and catcher. His time with Portsmouth ended after his first baseman dropped a pickoff throw that would have retired the baserunner by several feet. Enraged at his fielder's incompetence, Foster took off his catcher's gear and left the baseball field, never to play again. Statistics from his 1906 season are unavailable.

Temper and alcohol issues
Russo states that Foster "was known as a hard-drinking, rough, and ready ballplayer whose temper usually got the best of him." When his teams lost, he would scream and shout at his wife, Mary, while making ominous gestures. Though it was never confirmed, contemporaries suspected that he sometimes beat her. Mary eventually instructed friends to warn her of the outcome of the game. If the team lost, she would go to a neighbor's home and wait for her husband to get sober.

Death
Foster's alcoholism became more severe after he retired. He engaged in a drinking binge on December 18 and 19, 1908, making suicidal comments to those with him. On December 19, he and friend Lee Polkington wandered down to banks of the James River. Foster carried with him a whiskey bottle and a 12-gauge shotgun, double-barreled and loaded. After taking a drink of whiskey, he said to Polkington, "Watch me do a trick." Putting the shotgun under his chin, he set off the trigger with his foot, dying instantly at the age of 44. Baseball associates of his in the Richmond area were shocked to hear of his suicide. Despite his alcohol issues, he had a great deal of fans and friends.

Foster was survived by Mary and their three children: John, Katie, and Julia. He had another son from a previous marriage, Joseph, who survived him as well. Foster was buried at Richmond's Oakwood Cemetery.

Time for another raw cheesecake recipe – something seasonal and tangy with lots of citrus to ward off colds and flu and build up the immune system.
Process together all ingredients in a processor until a dough forms. I recommend grinding the pecans first then adding remaining ingredients.
Sprinkle shredded coconut on the base of an 8 or 12 inch springform pan.
Press dough into the base of the springform pan – using your clean fingers works best.
Blend all ingredients, except oil and butter, together in a high speed blender until smooth and creamy.
While the blender is on drizzle in the oil and butter and incorporate.
Chill in the fridge or freezer until set.
Blend all ingredients until well combined – make sure that the pomegranate seeds and well blended.
Pour over pre-chilled filling and freeze for an hour.
To serve, thaw for half an hour – cut and serve.
This has a delicious citrus tangy and the pomegranate is well raspberry like.

Told by: Powerful Voices
"With liberty and justice for all" – the last words of the pledge I recited everyday since I could speak. I always saw school as my second home, but never did I think I would have to face a school that saw me as different for what I looked like. My school preaches inclusivity, equality, acceptance, but I rarely see it. I see hate, I see fear, I see disgust, I see so many things a growing teenager shouldn't see in her high school.
It was January. It was the first day I wore my bandanna to school. I wore my bandanna because my friend Pancho was forced to take it off. He had many encounters throughout the week he was wearing it, but one day he was approached by a security guard who demanded he take it off. He refused because he saw white girls wearing bandannas as headbands, shirts and around the wrist, so why did he have to take it off? After trying to explain why he didn't want to take it off, the security guard told him he had to take it off because it covered his face. But it didn't, it was only on his forehead. Finally, he was forced to go to the vice principal's office, where he was told he had to apologize for "calling the security guard out." He was told he could not wear a bandanna because of the negativity it brought to us as Hispanics. Isn't that crazy? The person who is supposed to lead us with his example tells my Mexican friend that bandannas cannot be worn by people of our complexion only because it marks us as dangerous. The funny part? The principal called Pancho in to apologize and tell him he could wear his bandanna whenever he wanted.
I can say that I appreciate the effort he put forth in trying to rectify a mistake he did not commit, but when did he apologize? After Pancho began telling his story and other witnesses started telling theirs? After other students began to wear their bandannas? After the principal realized the effect the story could have on the school image?
January 16th, 2020, I wore my bandanna for the first time. Now, one thing has to be said, I am only 4'11", so I can't really intimidate anyone. I mean, how uncomfortable can I make someone feel? Seeing people stare in fear made me feel tense but also made me laugh. Why in the world would I go and beat someone up?
I walked out of the English building, and the same security guard who demanded Pancho take off his bandanna followed me all the way into the library. Coming out, the same security guard was there, but this time I walked out with my six-foot-tall boyfriend and a bunch of feisty friends. Everyone looked at us as if we were a gang ready to pounce on someone for looking at us funny. Everyone walked around, stared in fear. It only reminded me of the injustice. How could the white girl wear it as a shirt, as a headpiece? When we wore it as a marking.
I am not a person to stay quiet when it comes to injustice. My bandanna didn't mean I was a gang member, nor did my skin color. They should know the way I carry myself is because of them. I always feel under attack, so I have to behave a certain way so I am ready for the war they make me face everyday. You either hear the whispers or feel the stares. You're constantly being watched because everyone is waiting for you to mess up. The bandanna gave me strength. It gave me the strength to finally walk with pride. Pride. Something I had never felt at this school before.
Wearing the bandanna brought so much attention. The ones who looked different stared in fear, stared with a pale, blank face, scared a shoot out would happen. The white people were always scared. I was only 4'11, who could I harm? Yet, I am the predator. We are the predators. We are a group of criminals looking for our next victim. They tell us we belong here, but where?
Pancho was told to apologize for wearing a bandanna due to the invisible mark my school placed on us because our skin color does not match theirs. We were marked as hazardous, which means we had to watch ourselves so we didn't wear something "inappropriate." No more. I will not brush it off or look the other way. I do not write this to pat myself on the back, but rather to encourage others with stories to speak up. It is time we speak, time we finally share our voice unapologetically. So we can finally see the truth about the school that made us pledge "with liberty and justice for all."

Q: get_permalink to an anchor Well, it's probably a dumb question but I don't know how to add an anchor to a permalink. I'm just trying to add a button in my posts list which leads directly to the comment section of the post. Something like this:

    <a href="<?php echo get_permalink(); ?>#comments">

The problem comes maybe by the slash just before the anchor?
my_site.com/my_post/#my_anchor
instead of
my_site.com/my_post#my_anchor
I'm still searching for an answer on Google but didn't find yet :/ Thanks...
EDIT : The problem doesn't comes from the slash. Thanks to czerspalace's answer, I removed the slash displayed before the anchor and the problem still remain.
Moreover, westernjournalism.com uses the same comment link and it works with the slash...
But for me, with or without a slash, when I click on the link I stay on the same page but it scroll to the bottom of the page. What a mistery...

Q: Null when sharing data between Activity and Fragment I got a problem that I can't share a RxBleClient between MainActivity and Fragments.
I pass a instance of RxBleClient to MyViewModel, and while trying to receive from ViewModel in Fragment it is just a Null. Fragment is a part of ViewPager2. Here is how I did this:
View Model code:
public class MyViewModel extends ViewModel {
    private MutableLiveData<RxBleClient> rxBleClient = new MutableLiveData<RxBleClient>();

    public MyViewModel() {
    }

    public void setRxBleClient(RxBleClient item) {
        rxBleClient.setValue(item);
    }

    public LiveData<RxBleClient> getRxBleClient() {
        return rxBleClient;
    }
}

MainActivity:
@Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

        MyViewModel model = new ViewModelProvider(this).get(MyViewModel.class);

        //        Turn on Bluetooth
        Intent enableBtIntent = new Intent(BluetoothAdapter.ACTION_REQUEST_ENABLE);
        int REQUEST_ENABLE_BT = 1;
        this.startActivityForResult(enableBtIntent, REQUEST_ENABLE_BT);

//        pass instance of RxBleClient to ViewModel
        rxBleClient = RxBleClient.create(getApplicationContext());
        model.setRxBleClient(rxBleClient);
// bind
        ButterKnife.bind(this);
// rest of code

Fragment code:
    @Override
    public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
                             Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_connection_list, container, false);
        scanResultList = new ArrayList<ScanResult>(0);
        // Set the adapter
        if (view instanceof RecyclerView) {
            Context context = view.getContext();
            RecyclerView recyclerView = (RecyclerView) view;
            if (mColumnCount <= 1) {
                recyclerView.setLayoutManager(new LinearLayoutManager(context));
            } else {
                recyclerView.setLayoutManager(new GridLayoutManager(context, mColumnCount));
            }
            recyclerView.setAdapter(new MyConnectionRecyclerViewAdapter(scanResultList));
        }

        // get View Model
        myViewModel = new ViewModelProvider(getActivity()).get(MyViewModel.class);

        myViewModel.getRxBleClient().observe(getViewLifecycleOwner(), client -> {
            this.rxBleClient = client; // HERE IS NULL
        });

        return view;
    }

Where did I make mistake?

First edit:
This is my only one Activity, yet. This Activity is hosting ViewPager2:
//        FRAGMENT ADAPTER
        fragmentStateAdapter = new ViewPager2FragmentStateAdapter(getSupportFragmentManager(), getLifecycle());
        viewPager2 = findViewById(R.id.pager);
        viewPager2.setAdapter(fragmentStateAdapter);

        // TOP BAR
        final String tabTitles[] = {"Debugging", "Bluetooth", "Video"};
        final @DrawableRes int tabDrawable[] = {R.drawable.ic_bug_report_24px, R.drawable.ic_bluetooth_24px, R.drawable.ic_videocam_24px};
        tabLayout = findViewById(R.id.tab_layout);
        new TabLayoutMediator(tabLayout, viewPager2,
                (tab, position) -> tab.setText(tabTitles[position]).setIcon(tabDrawable[position])
        ).attach();

Our latest book tells the story of a life-changing decade in San José. (The Tico Times)
The Tico Times Publications Group is pleased to announce that its second book, "Love in Translation: Letters to my Costa Rican Daughter," is now available worldwide. The book, from our Interim Managing Editor Katherine Stanley Obando, takes the reader through a dictionary of costarriqueñismos – the words, phrases, and dichos Costa Ricans use every day – while also telling the story of how her love for the country grew over her first decade in San José.
Stanley, 37, arrived in Costa Rica in 2004 and has worked as a reporter, editor, speechwriter and freelance writer, as well as in a variety of roles in the nonprofit sector. After the birth of her daughter in San José in 2013, she began writing about Costa Rican language and culture, both on her personal blog, The Dictionary of You, and in a popular Tico Times column called Maeology. Many of these writings are included in the new book, which follows our Publications Group's first title, "The Green Season," by Robert Isenberg (2015). "Love in Translation" has garnered praise for former President Oscar Arias, former First Lady Henrietta Boggs, author Carlos Arauz and National Culture Award-Winner María Mayela Padilla, who says it offers "a valuable lesson: that our language and culture are rich and worthy of preservation. We must carry in our souls the pride of being Costa Rican, just the way we are."
We asked Stanley a few questions about the book, now available for delivery within Costa Rica from The Tico Times Store, and around the world on Amazon.

In your words, what is this book about?
I'm a New Englander, and we don't throw the word "love" around a whole lot, but that's really what it's about and why it ended up in the title: love of the way Costa Rica talks and thinks, love of the country in general, and how that eventually grew into my family… My view of the book has changed a little bit throughout 2016, which has been a hard year for lots of people in different ways. I hope it provides a little escape for readers but also a testament to the beauty that is created when different cultures meet and when people move beyond their own borders, literally and emotionally.
Tells us a little about the format of the book and the material that makes it up.
The blog it grew from, which I started as an outlet for all the thoughts whizzing around my brain when I was home with my baby daughter, was called "The Dictionary of You," because my original idea was to write one letter to my daughter for every letter of the alphabet, looking at a Costa Rican phrase or expression that started with that letter.
That's basically how it is set up: "a" is for "antiguo higuerón," the once-and-future fig tree that looms so large in Costa Rican direction-giving, and the essay explores getting lost as a new arrival. "B" is for "breteanding," a Spanglish spin you sometimes hear on "brete," or work. And so on. These alternate with brief journal entries that trace my 12 years in Costa Rica and how my life changed along the way.
A lot of your writing, especially your Maeology column for The Tico Times, is centered on language and Costa Rican slang. How has understanding Costa Rican Spanish helped you understand Costa Rica?
The two have gone hand in hand the whole way. For one thing, my husband, Adrián, uses slang constantly, so starting to understand it was a key part of dating him and falling in love with him and his country. And to me, the process of understanding a language runs parallel to the process of understanding a country. You hear a phrase you don't understand and someone explains it – fine – but it might be years later that the real meaning sinks into your bones, the philosophy behind it, what it represents. I expect that process to continue forever, just about.
When you were putting together this book and looked back at journal entries from your first years in Costa Rica, what struck you about the way you perceived the country and your place in it compared to now?
I think back to those early days in the country so often – they were so formative for me, so indedibly inked on my brain – that there weren't really any big surprises, to be honest.
What's your favorite Costa Rican dicho or slang term?
Manda huevo. Untranslatable, essential, so expressive. I am often very critical when native speakers of English, including me, sprinkle Spanish into their conversation with other English speakers – sometimes it's done in a "oh, my Spanish is just so good that I can't remember the English words anymore" kind of way – but manda huevo is one phrase I do sometimes use when I'm speaking English because there's just no equivalent.
The letters to your daughter included in the book started as a blog that you began writing at a time when most people stop doing anything other than surviving: you had a new baby and multiple demanding jobs, and you were living in a city notorious for long commute times and frequent traffic jams. How and why did you decide to take up this project and continue to make the time to keep up with it?
It was actually an unusually quiet time in my life. I did juggle a lot of work from home, but I was still going very long stretches without exchanging a single word out loud with another adult. As any new parent can attest, when I did speak, it was usually to my husband, and those weren't exactly quality conversations. My husband worked nights. I would put our daughter to bed and the house would be so exquisitely quiet; my brain would be so full of things I wanted to tell her. The blog just sort of spilled out of that. I see so many new moms start blogs, and I think it comes from that same kind of feeling: you have this new urgency to all the things you want to say, but the person you most want to hear them is not capable of listening yet. And you write.
You've raised your child almost entirely in Costa Rica thus far, but what have you found surprising about raising a child here that seems different in the United States?
That's a big part of the book, too, and hard to sum up. I've been surprised by how kind and accommodating people are here, including in professional situations – I can't really compare it to the States, since I've never had a kid there, but from what I gather from friends, I am fortunate in that sense. And on the sillier side, I was surprised to find that no matter what your baby is wearing, you will always be told to put more clothing on her. Always.
What do you hope your daughter learns from her bicultural upbringing?
That's a great question. I've never really thought of it quite that way – I tend to think of all the benefits of a bicultural upbringing as a huge bonus, like that's a given, and then worry about what I hope she doesn't get from it. Like, I hope it doesn't make her feel rootless or lonely. But what I hope she does get from it: sensitivity, I guess, and an appreciation for other people's complexities. I hope, for example, that she will be slower to judge an immigrant, or a person learning a new language, or a person trying to fit in, because she will have been exposed to a lot of people in that category. Of course, it could go the other way and she could move in between cultures so easily that she is arrogant about that ability.
Do you consider yourself an expat? And have your thoughts about that word and concept changed over time?
I consider myself an immigrant, although that's a whole topic all its own and a column I've been meaning to write. When you look up a definition of either term, they both apply to me and in fact are pretty much interchangeable on the page, but in real life they have so much baggage and so many connotations.
The fact that I came here more or less on a lark, with a lot of educational and economic privilege that allowed me to hit the ground running as a teacher and then a reporter, would suggest that maybe I should be called an expat, and I haven't had to face all the challenges that many immigrants face and for which they deserve so much respect. However, I have also made a life here and integrated, or sometimes failed to integrate, often in entertaining ways. Now I've put down some pretty serious roots here, and feel that I am an immigrant.
Of course, just the fact that I get to choose how to define myself represents a huge level of privilege. I guess I also use the term because I am so angry about the negative way it is being used in the United States, and am conscious that we apply it to most any foreigner with no regard for that person's story. Basically I just wish we, especially in the United States, could free "immigrant" from some of its baggage and celebrate the incredible diversity that the word carries with it.

Lindsey Vansandt (30 and a reproductive physiologist) and Skyler Cavin (29 and a trainer at CDK) met in college. One summer, Lindsey went on vacation with Skyler's family to Florida. "I didn't think anything of it when his dad and stepmom announced we would be doing a scavenger hunt one morning," Lindsey says. "They're notorious for setting up these kinds of things. The scavenger hunt was aptly named the Treasure Hunt as there was a pirate theme involved. Before the hunt began, we were all given pirate flair to wear." Focused on winning, Lindsey flew through the hunt, not realizing she was the only one searching. When she got to the end, Skyler was there with a box. "He opened it, reached inside and went down on one knee," she says. "I am still clueless so I told him he looked ridiculous, 'Why are you kneeling down?' Even though he had already started his speech to me and was down on one knee and holding a ring box, I didn't understand what was happening. Some people randomly walked by on the beach and started clapping for us. They apparently had a better intuition than I did. I finally understood. We hugged. We kissed. I cried. I forgot to say yes, so he had to ask me again! And just in case you were wondering, yes, I was indeed wearing en eyepatch when Skyler proposed."From the very beginning of the planning process, there were two details Lindsey and Skyler agreed on: They both wanted a fall wedding, and they wanted to have it outdoors. Everything––pinecone place cards, burlap flatware holders, mason jar favors, s'more dessert bar, pumpkin-flavored cupcakes––complemented the rustic fall theme. Even their venue, Belvoir Winery, was featured in an episode of "Ghost Hunters" as one of the most haunted locations in the Midwest. Perfect for the Halloween-loving couple and fall-inspired wedding. Their florist, Found in Nature, created a gorgeous burnt orange and red hanging bouquet out of roses, calla lilies, ranunculuses, pin cushion protea and blue thistle.The best part, though? The menu!From the bride: "I grew up in Kansas City, and we couldn't very well let our out-of-towners come to visit without giving them a sample of Kansas City's world famous barbecue," Lindsey says. "For dinner, we served Oklahoma Joe's, which is one of our favorite BBQ joints and just happens to also be the number one Zagat-Rated, best barbecue joint in KC. Of course, I was bit terrified to eat BBQ in a white dress, but luckily Skyler's dad and stepmom surprised us on the night of the wedding with his and hers apron bibs!"

Q: how to add static lib from other cmake module assuming I have 2 cmake modules

*

*MyStaticLib which is after compilation will be a static library

*Connector which is a shared lib or executable, and it's should use MyStaticLib inside.

So, I want to add MyStaticLib inside Connector but not simply put myStaticLib.a + headers in some folder, but reference MyStaticLib module from Connector, so when Connector compile it will build lib from sources and use it.
What is a proper way to do that in cmake?

A: In case of independent projects (MyStaticLib is used by other projects to, has it's own release cycle), you can use:
find_library:

*

*Build, test and install MyStaticLib into your file system

*add find_library into Connector's CMakeList.txt
find_package

*

*Similary to above but MyStaticLib provides additional information

ExternalProject

*

*In case you want to trigger any additional actions (build, patch) on MyStaticLib before usage by Connector

*Gives you the most possibilities

In case of dependent projects (MyStaticLib is a subproject of Connector), just add it as subdirectory of Connector (It must be a subdirectory).


Boeing wants to make high speed, inflight internet access a reality for the flying public and believes people will pay $35 a trip for the privilege.
|~||~||~|Boeing's prediction that the Middle East will need 640 new airplanes between now and 2021 certainly looks impressive. But whilst Boeing says airplane sales globally will be worth $1.8 trillion between now and 2021, it is also predicting that related services revenues will be worth $3.1 trillion.
Boeing's most ambitious services move yet, however, could be its broadband in-flight entertainment offering, Connexion by Boeing. Using a global network of satellites, Connexion will allow passengers to surf the internet at broadband speeds from the comfort of their seat. Stanley Deal, director of commercial sales for Connexion, predicts that the service could be generating $3 billion of high margin revenue annually for Boeing within ten years.
The way it works is that Boeing first of all provides airlines with the kit required to deploy Connexion. The cost of this, according to Deal, will be well below the $2-3 million per plane that airlines currently spend on installing in-flight entertainment.
Once up and running, Boeing will provide on-going maintenance in return for a share of subscription revenues. Boeing has a price for unlimited access of $35 per passenger, per journey in mind.
How that is split between Boeing and the airline wasn't revealed. Deal claims though that airlines will see a return on their initial investment within two years.
The $35 figure was arrived at after research involving four major airlines. 60% of passengers surveyed, Deal claims, expressed their desire to pay a fixed price for access, rather than being charged by the minute. Whilst $35 may seem a little steep, Deal uses the argument that a captive audience will pay for what it likes.
As well as setting the price for Connexion, Boeing also intends to retain control of the branding and the way the interface is presented. "It's a service that's going to become ubiquitous across many airlines so there needs to be consistency and familiarity," explains Deal.
As for how Connexion is presented to the user, Deal concedes that Boeing's thinking has evolved over the last two years. Initially, the company saw the potential for advertising and e-commerce revenues, and so was looking at packing Connexion with content so that users would be less inclined to surf other Web sites.
Before Boeing can have Connexion up and running, there is the small matter of regulatory approval to be dealt with. Deal confirmed that the authorities of every single country over which a plane with Connexion flies has to approve the service.
BA and Lufthansa plan trials of Connexion in Q1, 2003 and permission has already been obtained from all 'over-fly' countries involved in those trials. Formal launch of Connexion is scheduled for Q4, 2004.
However, guess what? Boeing faces competition in the form of satellite communications company, Inmarsat, and Tenzing Communications, 30% owned by Airbus.
Inmarsat's Swift64 provides internet access at 64 kbits/s, the equivalent of ISDN performance, considerably more modest than Connexion, but it is apparently relatively easy to install. Inmarsat claims that 70% of long haul, wide-body jets in use already have the required antennas and communications infrastructure in place. If that is the case, all that needs to be done is to install a terminal linking the antenna with the plane's communications system and wire up each seat.
Tenzing's system allows access to a small number of Web pages stored on an on-board server that is updated every fifteen minutes. Tenzing says it is working with Hughes Global Services to develop a high speed, realtime system similar to Connexion by Boeing.

Troubling New ISIS Alliance Has National Security Experts Spooked
Saagar Enjeti White House Correspondent
Senior intelligence officials told the Wall Street Journal the Islamic State's Egyptian affiliate has developed ties with Hamas's terrorist government in the Gaza strip threatening both Israel and Egypt.
Israeli officials said the cooperation between ISIS and Hamas extended as far as military training, though Hamas officials have denied any involvement with ISIS in the Sinai peninsula. ISIS's Egyptian affiliate was likely responsible for downing a Russian jet with 224 people on board in October 2015.
Both Egypt's defense and interior ministries have said Hamas and ISIS have coordinated attacks in the northern Sinai peninsula near the Israeli border. In late 2015, Hamas fighters reportedly spent a month in the Sinai peninsula teaching Islamic State militants how to fire anti-tank missiles.
This military cooperation precedes reports that wounded ISIS fighters were being treated by Hamas within the Palestinian territories. In February 2016, Israeli General Yoav Mordechai warned that ISIS fighters had entered the Gaza strip through underground smuggling tunnels seeking medical treatment.
Mordechai confirmed May 13 to the Saudi Arabian media outlet Elaph that ISIS activists had snuck into the Gaza strip to offer monetary assistance and weapons to Hamas. Hamas spokesman Ghazi Hamad denied any allegations of cooperation with ISIS, telling the Wall Street Journal, "We have nothing to do with Egypt."
Israeli officials warn Hamas is only outwardly rejecting ties with Iran and other radical jihadist elements in a bid to appear less radical. Hamas's leaders are reportedly embarrassed by public revelations of their ties with Jihadists as they continue to try and strengthen their relationship with Egypt. Egypt continues to keep a border crossing between Gaza and the Sinai peninsula closed as it works to defeat ISIS.
Egyptians ISIS affiliate is composed of battle hardened jihadist veterans of Afghanistan, Iraq, and Al Qaeda. Western and Israeli intelligence officials warn that ISIS's Egyptian affiliate is in constant communication with ISIS's headquarters in Iraq and Syria. The group receives both funding and social media promotion from headquarters according to Egyptian security officials.
Hamas relies heavily on smuggling tunnels to the Sinai peninsula, which ISIS has come to control. Egypts military is reportedly cooperating with Israel to shut down as many tunnels as possible to degrade both terrorist organizations. These military operations have strengthened Hamas's ties to ISIS as both rely on each other for medical care and weapons smuggling.

A monumental figure of Buddha seated in padmasana lotus position, with his hands in the dhyana mudra the gesture of absolute balance. He emits a sense of vastness and serenity in meditation. The long low-slung robe covering his legs, is tied at the waist, the chest exposed. His shoulders, arms and thighs are covered by a long cloak. The robes are gilt, with a patterned design and a red lining. The flesh is painted in soft pinkish tones, and the tight curls on the head have traces of the original blue paint. The eyes are inlaid with black glass for dramatic effect. This Buddha was clearly meant to be viewed from the front, as the back has been left relatively unworked.
Stucco was an effective way to produce dramatic and large (religious) sculpture. The figures are generally constructed on a wooden frame, padded with reed, then modelled with clay stucco. It is smoothly finished with a thin layer of gesso, which is sometimes incised with decorative patterns. Finally it is covered with a paper, which is painted and gilded.


Thursday, June 5–Friday,June 6, 7 p.m.
When Chris Malarkey was in high school in Richmond, Va., a friend tricked him into seeing Widespread Panic for the first time.
"I'm a huge Deadhead, and I got suckered: 'You've got to seem them. They're a Dead cover band,'" Malarkey remembers. "Of course, they didn't play any Grateful Dead."
Instead, they covered J.J. Cale's "Travelin' Light"for Malarkey, an act of musical heresy. At that age, he loved Bob Dylan and the easygoing feel of jam bands. These wild, guitar-slinging dudes seemed too irreverent.
"This grungy guitar wasn't really my thing," he remembers. "With Cale, it's very laidback. Here you have these guys playing that heavy lead. It didn't fit. I hated them."
But not long after he graduated high school and began college, Malarkey revisited Widespread Panic and fell in love. Now he's a so-called Spreadhead, having seen the band more than 200 times. Widespread Panic has grown up, too, graduating from the tiny club he first saw them play in 1990 to the country's largest amphitheaters.
For the last 13 years, Malarkey, a Raleigh booking agent and club manager, has booked after-parties for these large-scale Panic shows during the band's almost-annual Raleigh appearancesfirst at The Pour House and, for the last four years, from his post at the Lincoln Theatre. The after-shows add a campground essence to the band's multi-night stands. It began when the band used to play Walnut Creek Amphitheatre; people would book hotels in downtown Raleigh, but they wouldn't want to go back to their room after the show.
"You're going to wake up, eat lunch, go to the show; after the show you're going to want to go to the after-show," says Malarkey. "Then you get up and do it again."
Music, of course, has long enjoyed the currency of religion among identity-seeking youth. As authority and adulthood begin to press in, related music loversbe they goths, punks, backpackers or metalheadscan form their own communities. No genre has inspired quite the same fervency and lifestyle as the Grateful Dead and their acolytes, Phish, Widespread Panic and a score of successors. As those kids age, many turn away from the pack, divesting of those stints following their favorite band for mortgages and day jobs. But others, like Malarkey, have found different ways to track the band's evolution.
Widespread Panic began 28 years ago at the University of Georgia in Athens. Their sound has forever traced a similar roots-psych path as the Dead's, but they've added distinctively Southern touchstones that emphasize their native mixed heritage of blues-soul and rock. With singles "Hope in a Hopeless World" and "Can't Get High," they enjoyed modest commercial success during the '90s, peaking at No. 50 on the Billboard 200 with 1997's Bombs & Butterflies.
But selling records was less their intent than becoming a live juggernaut; their treks along the East Coast's collegiate circuit made the Triangle a favorite, fertile market. Last year, Pollstar reported that they averaged more than $400,000 at the box office per show, making them one of the world's elite touring acts.
Combined with Widespread's loose-limbed musical approach, that consistency fostered a particularly communal crowd; for fans like Malarkey and local attorney and political consultant Jon Lucas, it's a big reason they keep coming back even as they age.
"You don't make any plans at all and always run into the same people," says Lucas. "You live in North Carolina. They live in Colorado. You're at a show in Florida but you're standing beside them every time. It's so weird."
In 2002, founding guitarist Michael Houser died of pancreatic cancer; Lucas says the loss struck that community particularly hard, like the death of a relative. He remembers Houser's next-to-last show.
"The wind was blowing, and they were doing 'Drums,'" he says. "Mike just wouldn't stop. It went on and on, and when they finally did stop the band had to come out and lift him up and walk him off. He was spent. He died 40 days later."
But Lucas says that the loss of Houser only fueled the band and its fans to maintain the original mission. Following Houser's death, guitarist George McConnell, a former bandmate of keyboardist JoJo Hermann, contributed to two studio albums before leaving during a 2006 tour. Fayetteville native Jimmy Herring stepped in. Herring's familiar to many locally as a founding member of Aquarium Rescue Unit. He's also played with Allman Brothers, Phil Lesh and the Other Ones.
McConnell's tenure favored a substantially more limited setlist, but the addition of the versatile Herring allowed them to return to their habit of digging deep into their catalog. Though Herring is more interested in complex jazz and prog-rock ideas than Houser ever was, he doesn't always bend the band toward his will.
"He strikes the right blend of paying tribute to Mike," says Lucas, who played guitar in the Raleigh Widespread Panic cover band Boll Weevil. "He sticks to the kinds of melodic and rhythmic leads that Mike would play in certain places."
"It was a big part of the youth culture, and other genres like EDM and Americana are the hot things right now," he says. "If you remember 10 years ago, the lineup at Bonnaroo was all jam bands. Now you have to search pretty hard to find them there. There's still as many great bands as there ever were, but I don't think it has the same reach as 10 years ago."
Malarkey, Crumpton and Lucas were once fun-loving college kids who thought nothing of following the band around all summer; they now have jobs and families, so even single shows require preparation. If they leave town for Widespread Panic, it's a two-day getaway, not a weeks-long escapade. But they agree that the personal impact of the band and the community they've built hasn't diminished. In a way, it helped define them.
Lucas, for instance, remembers watching Widespread Panic at the legendary Red Rocks Amphitheatre. He looked out across the mountains during the encore.
"Behind the stage is Denver, like down the mountain. There was this straight black storm cloud and then a divide and then beautiful sunlight," he remembers. "Then a beautiful rainbow came right down behind the stage. It was the craziest thing you have ever seen. For anybody that undertook that kind of commitment to this community and really did it, it's a life-changing experience."

Volkswagen restarts Golf deliveries as software problem fixed
9 June 2020 - autocar
Update claimed to solve issue with emergency call function; deliveries will recommence and voluntary recall be launched
Volkswagen has resumed deliveries of the new, Mk8 Golf after a software problem was unearthed in May.
The problem, which centered around the eCall emergency assist function not working reliably, caused deliveries to be halted throughout Europe while a fix was developed.
Volkswagen now claims that a software update for the control unit has resolved the issue. It will be installed on every Golf in future and retrofitted to those already built, while a voluntary recall will be issued to ensure cars already delivered to customers are fixed.
The firm admits that around 15,000 Mk8 Golfs have already been delivered in Germany and are affected by the recall. A far smaller number of cars were delivered in the UK before the problem arose.
A statement issued in May has been updated to reflect the news: "In the course of internal investigations, we have determined that individual Golf 8 vehicles may experience unreliable data transmission from the software on the control unit or the online connectivity unit (OCU3). As a result, the full functionality of the eCall/emergency call assistant cannot be guaranteed.
"Volkswagen will initiate a voluntary recall for Golf Mk8 models already delivered to customers in order to install the software update. Volkswagen has already notified the Federal Motor Transport Authority (KBA) of this and has requested owner data in order to inform the affected customers in good time."
This software, mandatory by EU law for every new car sold since March 2018, can detect when an accident requires the attendance of the emergency services and contacts them automatically.
Reports suggested the new Skoda Octavia was similarly afflicted, because it shares the same system. However, deliveries of that model aren't due until next month, so there won't be an issue.

Europe's First Mobile Electric Car Charging Unit
Published 13th July 2018Read Time 3 min
AA Rescue has today unveiled a new mobile charging unit for electric vehicles, with the organisation highlighting that it expects the number of electric cars on Irish roads to climb quickly in the coming years. In response to the growth of electric vehicle use in Ireland, the breakdown assistance provider partnered with Australian company Club Logistics Solutions to develop a mobile charging solution capable of addressing concerns of motorists worried about potentially running out of power in an electric vehicle. The first of their kind in Europe, the mobile charging units are powered directly by the AA Rescue van as opposed to a separate generator, minimising any emissions produced during usage. Commenting on the unveiling Conor Faughnan, AA Director of Consumer Affairs stated: "Our AA Rescue team have a long and proud history of going above and beyond to meet the needs of broken down motorists across the country, and the purchase of these mobile charging units is the next step on that journey. The unveiling of this unit has been a long-time in the making as we first started to research and seek out mobile charging units in 2011. In that time electric cars have evolved significantly and along the way we've seen a similar evolution in charging and emergency assistance options for EVs. Of all the mobile units we have seen this is by far the most impressive, easily deployed and environmentally friendly options. "This is a huge step forward for electric vehicle owners in Ireland and a significant innovation for our AA Rescue team as they continue to meet the demands of our members. We know from research that we've undertaken in the past that the fear of running out of power is a major concern of Irish motorists when it comes to going electric and we hope that knowing this solution exists will help some people ditch petrol and diesel powered cars."
Roadside Electric Car Charging
The mobile charging units are designed to quickly provide an electric car which has run out of charge with enough power for the driver to continue to their journey. On average, the AA will be able to provide an electric vehicle with approximately 15% of battery charge in just 20 minutes, allowing the motorist to then proceed to the nearest charging point. "Petrol and diesel cars will in time become a thing of the past and we expect, particularly in the next few years, to see a rapid growth in the number of electric cars in Ireland," Faughnan added. "With each passing year the number of electric cars on Irish roads only continues to increase and it's important that investment in the necessary infrastructure to support this technology meets the growing need."

Pierre DesRuisseaux, Former Poet Laureate Of Canada, Accused Of Plagiarizing Tupac
He also allegedly used work by Maya Angelou and Dylan Thomas.
Parliament of Canada/Canadian Press
Former poet laureate of Canada Pierre DesRuisseaux has been accused of plagiarizing the work of American rapper Tupac Shakur.
MONTREAL — One of Canada's former poet laureates is being accused of plagiarizing the works of illustrious English-language authors in a book that has since been taken off the shelves.
U.K.-based poetry sleuth Ira Lightman went public in The Guardian newspaper over the weekend about his investigation into Pierre DesRuisseaux, who died in January 2016 at age 70.
Lightman said DesRuisseaux's "Tranches de vie,'' a book of French-language poetry published in 2013, lifted works from various authors, including Maya Angelou, Dylan Thomas, Louis MacNiece and even late rap artist Tupac Shakur.
According to Lightman, Ontario poet Kathy Figueroa initially noticed the slight in May 2016 when the current laureate, George Elliott Clarke, was invited to show poems by previous laureates and shared one by DesRuisseaux which bore resemblance to Angelou's "Still I Rise.''
Jim Young/Reuters
Poet Maya Angelou speaks during a ceremony to honor South African Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu in Washington, D.C. on Nov. 21, 2008.
He said in an interview Monday he doesn't want to besmirch a lifetime of work, but adds an acknowledgment of the uncredited work was necessary.
"My simple request was that they made it public, because any one individual who holds a copy of that book in their hands thinking those are original poems are wrong and aren't doing proper credit to the original author,'' Lightman said.
"To publish is to make public, so something else needs to be made public to add the footnote that was missing.''
Inspecting the works further, Lightman said about 30 out of 50 were based on those of others, including amateur poets.
"I just don't know what he was doing — whether he was randomly searching or putting in key words,'' he said.
Book no longer on sale
Montreal-based publisher Editions du Noroit said Monday that only between 50 and 100 copies of the book were sold and that it has since been removed from shelves.
Paul Belanger, who has worked at the publishing house for 26 years, said the late Quebec writer, poet, journalist, publisher and translator's health may have had something to do with any uncredited work.
Belanger said DesRuisseaux suffered from a degenerative brain disorder in his final years and may have been confused when he submitted work he believed was original.
"I think what might have happened was he was in a different folder and maybe he forgot simply what works belonged to him and he forgot to put the reference,'' Belanger said.
The matter is closed, publisher says
The publisher said he worked with Lightman when the latter brought the matter to his attention in May 2016 and that DesRuisseaux's family was subsequently informed.
He considered the matter closed as the author was dead.
Belanger noted the standard contract signed by authors is that they guarantee their work is original.
He said the incident is the only one in the 45-year history of the publishing house, which he called honest and transparent.
If DesRuisseaux were still alive, Belanger said he would issue a statement signed by the author. Given the poet is dead, Belanger said it wasn't up to him to apologize.
"I can't do that, it's not my place,'' he said. "I can't go public for something that is the responsibility of the author.''
I don't want to bad-mouth the man or besmirch his reputation. There's plenty of good work in his canon.Ira Lightman
Lightman, meanwhile, said his goal was not to ruin DesRusseaux's reputation.
"He doesn't seem a bad man to me at all, so I'd be pretty interested and curious in what he was doing,'' he added. "There doesn't seem to be institutional abuse involved in it, so it's sad not to talk to him about that and sad that he can't answer back.
"I don't want to bad-mouth the man or besmirch his reputation. There's plenty of good work in his canon.''
DesRuisseaux produced numerous works including several books of poetry, with "Moneme'' earning him the 1989 Governor General's Award, Canada's most prestigious literary honour.
The native of Sherbrooke, Que., was Canada's fourth poet laureate, between 2009 and 2011.

The Silk Road is described as an ancient route between China and the Mediterranean Sea which linked the source of silk to the Roman Empire. Marco Polo took advantage of the''Pax Mongolica' in the 13th century. The Dominance of the Mongols in Asia maintained a certain level of peace which made Polo's journey possible.
The travels of Marco Polo had such an impact on history that we are still talking about it today (over 4 million keyword searches on Google). What made this trip so famous were the treasures that Marco Polo claimed he had seen in Cathay (this was the name used by the Europeans for China during the Middle Ages). Amongst these treasures, there was one product that was worth its weight in gold.
The production of silk has been mastered by the Chinese since at least 2500BC. The secret was jealously guarded for 2000 years. This amazing secret was called Bombyx Mori, a worm that spins a silk cocoon for its metamorphosis into a moth. This cocoon is made of a continuous filament of one or two deniers for a length up to 1000 m. Between five and eight of these filaments are twisted together to make one thread. At the beginning, only the emperor was allowed to wear or own silk products, with time, silk was permitted for those who could afford it.
To preserve the continuity of the yarn it is imperative to prevent the moth from exiting. The production therefore includes a stage where the insect is killed before it perforates the cocoon. Some are allowed to bloom and are destined for reproduction. Three or four days after leaving the cocoon, it will mate, lay 500 eggs or more and die four days later. Around 200BC, the secret is no more as silk started to travel officially west to Babylon. The production of silk named 'Sericulture' reached Korea around 200 BC with waves of Chinese immigrants. There are indications however that the Romans and the Greeks were made aware of the wonders of silk hundreds of years before.
Silk has always been considered a product of extreme luxury. It takes up to 2,500 to 3,000 cocoons to produce one yard of silk. One can imagine the work required to delicately unwind the 2500 to 3000 cocoons to produce one yard of silk fabric. Throughout history, only the most skilled weavers were allowed to work with this precious yarn. Note how the words skill and silk are similar.
A few interesting facts: one ounce of eggs is the equivalent of 30,000 worms which eat a ton of mulberry leaves and produce twelve pounds of raw silk. The mulberry tree is the exclusive diet of the Bombyx Muri. The wild silk worm will however eat oak tree leaves.
Amongst the natural fibers, silk is the best substitute for skin. Note how the two words are similar. Silk offers a very smooth touch, free of abrasive and fibrous contaminants in addition to transporting water vapour most efficiently. Many studies in the British Journal of Dermatology recommend using silk in wound dressing after removal of certain free proteins that can migrate in the skin. Silk behaves with water very similarly to human skin, at least at the endoderm level (the third layer). A silk hospital jacket will help premature babies feel more comfortable and secure because of the sensation of an additional skin.
Those of you who may have the chance to wear a silk pyjama might have noticed how the fabric keeps cool in warm temperatures and warm in colder temperatures. That is the beauty of good moisture management. Allowing evaporation of water from the skin, referred to as sudation, provides a sensation of coolness. When the skin remains dry due to cooler temperatures, the insulative nature of the silk yarn takes over and provides the protection from cold expected from any tightly woven garments.
Another advantage of silk is its porous nature and the ease with which it can be dyed. Works of art in printing are transferred onto a silk fabric transforming them into tapestries or wearable paintings.
Scientists have synthesized silk, but artificial silk is limited to applications where cost is no object.
Today silk remains a luxury product. Very thin silk fabric is fairly common as a liner in fancy dress or suit, but the fabric quality is fragile and is not recommended as a stand alone outer shell.
Silk definitely ranks amongst the most comfortable fabric ever made by man. Its quality as a next to skin material makes it ideal for underwear which is, incidentally, a prosperous market. It is however preferable to wear silk underwear for special occasions since numerous laundering will contribute to the rapid degradation of the fibre.

Saying Goodbye to Supergirl (For Now!)
Monday night was the season finale of Supergirl's first season. With no word on renewal yet (though I'm optimistic on that front), it's goodbye to Supergirl for now. I've spent the past twenty episodes watching every Monday night with bated breath and then scurrying to write recaps for BroadwayWorld.com's TV section by 10 p.m. You can read my recap of the season finale here.
Photo Credit: CBS
In all honesty, I started watching Supergirl because Jeremy Jordan and Laura Benanti had been cast on it. I didn't expect much more out of it than to see Jeremy on my TV every week (and that would have been enough!). But as soon as I watched the first episode, I knew that this show was something special. Strong women (who are also sensitive, complex, and so varied), a focus on family (and not just the family that you're born to, but the family that you choose), a love triangle that was actually compelling, and a strong undercurrent of female empowerment...all with amazing guest stars? What more could I want from a TV show?
I loved the last scene of the season because it reminded me of what I love most about Supergirl: that it's first and foremost about the love of a family. I have cried so many times this season over Winn finding his family through Kara, about J'onn J'onz/Hank Henshaw becoming a father figure to both Alex and Kara, and of course about the sisters themselves. I don't want to give away too many spoilers in case one of you hasn't watched the final episode yet, but the phone call scene between Alex and Kara absolutely tore me apart. As someone with a little sister, I loved this portrayal of such a real relationship -- something we don't always get from TV today.
I couldn't talk about Supergirl without talking about Winn and James, played by Jeremy Jordan and Mehcad Brooks respectively. I loved Winn from the moment he first came on screen. The IT department best friend with amazing cardigans absolutely stole my heart. But throughout the season I came to love Winn, regardless of the fact that he's played by one of my favorite actors of all time. I have to say that Jeremy's performance as Winn has been absolutely flawless and he's made his unrequited love for Kara so heartbreaking without being annoying or "nice guy"-esque.
It took a while for James to grow on me, despite Mehcad's lovely voice and acting. (Seriously, that man's speaking voice is drool-worthy.) But while it took me a bit longer than it took Kara to fall for him, I eventually did. Mehcad brought something so vulnerable to his character that I've really appreciated.
One of my favorite things about Supergirl is the strong roles it allowed to older women like Laura Benanti and Calista Flockhart. Now, I feel a bit strange referring to Laura as an "older woman," but we often aren't allowed compelling female characters who are out of their twenties on a show aimed at a younger demographic. Both gave stunning performances as Astra/Alura and Cat Grant. Cat Grant's biting one-liners and confidence in her own skills have inspired me and I continue to be astonished by how well Laura played two characters on this show.
(On a side note, I've already bought tickets to see Laura Benanti in She Loves Me this summer on Broadway and I can't wait to tell her how much I've loved her on this show.)
Not knowing if we're going to get a second season of this show that found such a special place in my heart makes me so sad, but if this is all we get, then I know that I will cherish it and rewatch it for years to come. I feel so honored that I got to write about the show weekly for BroadwayWorld.com and that I got to interact with the cast on Twitter. (My reaction to Jeremy Jordan responding to my tweet during one episode is a running joke with my friends.) If you haven't watched Supergirl yet, I honestly cannot recommend it enough. If you have, I'd love to hear all your thoughts in the comment below or on Twitter at @nicoleackman16. xx

Q: nth-of-type keeps changing on a webpage, how do I get iMacros to automatically adapt to this change? I'm using iMacros for Firefox to automate commenting on a website. The website is a photo sharing site and this script loads up a profile, locates the first comment box for the first picture, types a comment, and then submits. This is the script for one comment:
EVENT TYPE=CLICK SELECTOR="#user-content-posts>DIV>DIV>UL>LI>DIV:nth-of-type(2)>DIV:nth-of-type(2)>DIV:nth-of-type(3)>DIV>TEXTAREA" BUTTON=0
EVENTS TYPE=KEYPRESS SELECTOR="#user-content-posts>DIV>DIV>UL>LI>DIV:nth-of-type(2)>DIV:nth-of-type(2)>DIV:nth-of-type(3)>DIV>TEXTAREA" CHARS=[comment]
EVENT TYPE=CLICK SELECTOR="#user-content-posts>DIV>DIV>UL>LI>DIV:nth-of-type(2)>DIV:nth-of-type(2)>DIV:nth-of-type(3)>DIV>BUTTON" BUTTON=0
WAIT SECONDS=60

The problem is, let's say I open up a browser the next day and decide to run the script, for some reason the script does not work now because iMacros can't find DIV>DIV>UL>LI>DIV:nth-of-type(2)>DIV:nth-of-type(2)>DIV:nth-of-type(3)>DIV> anymore, the correct location is now >DIV>DIV>UL>LI>DIV:nth-of-type(2)>DIV:nth-of-type(2)>DIV:nth-of-type(2)>DIV>.
So basically all the 3's turn to 2's and then the script works fine again. But then another day if I log back on and open another browser, all of a sudden the script doesn't work anymore and I have to change the last 2's back to 3's and then everything works again
How do I get around this? Is there a way to have iMacros automatically adapt to this? I don't know why nth-of-type changes from (3) to (2) randomly. It sometimes happens when the profile uploads a new picture. I plan to run this script 24/7 so I would need it to adapt whenever a change like this happens. Anyone good with iMacros and can help that would be great, thanks.

A: Try the following workaround:
SET div3 #user-content-posts>DIV>DIV>UL>LI>DIV:nth-of-type(2)>DIV:nth-of-type(2)>DIV:nth-of-type(3)>DIV>
SET div2 #user-content-posts>DIV>DIV>UL>LI>DIV:nth-of-type(2)>DIV:nth-of-type(2)>DIV:nth-of-type(2)>DIV>

SET !ERRORIGNORE YES
SET !TIMEOUT_STEP 0

EVENT TYPE=CLICK SELECTOR="{{div3}}TEXTAREA" BUTTON=0
EVENTS TYPE=KEYPRESS SELECTOR="{{div3}}TEXTAREA" CHARS=[comment]
EVENT TYPE=CLICK SELECTOR="{{div3}}BUTTON" BUTTON=0

EVENT TYPE=CLICK SELECTOR="{{div2}}TEXTAREA" BUTTON=0
EVENTS TYPE=KEYPRESS SELECTOR="{{div2}}TEXTAREA" CHARS=[comment]
EVENT TYPE=CLICK SELECTOR="{{div2}}BUTTON" BUTTON=0

SET !TIMEOUT_STEP 6
SET !ERRORIGNORE NO

WAIT SECONDS=60
