Q: CORS and ASP.Net Web API I am attempting to get CORS set up in an asp.net web api. My WebApiConfig.cs is:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web.Http;
using System.Web.Http.Controllers;
using System.Web.Http.Cors;
using System.Web.Http.Routing;

namespace WebApplication2
{
public static class WebApiConfig
{
    public static void Register(HttpConfiguration config)
    {
        config.MapHttpAttributeRoutes();
        var cors = new EnableCorsAttribute("http://localhost", "*", "*");

        config.EnableCors(cors);
        config.Routes.MapHttpRoute(
            name: "bootstrap",
            routeTemplate: "abp/{controller}"
        );
    }
}
}

I also have appended headers in my Controller, which is:
namespace WebApplication2.Controllers
{
public class BootStrapController : ApiController
{
    public void Options(string locale, string deviceType)
    {
        string origin = HttpContext.Current.Request.Headers.Get("Origin") ??                                     "";
        HttpContext.Current.Response.AppendHeader("Access-Control-Allow-Origin", origin);
        HttpContext.Current.Response.AppendHeader("Access-Control-Allow-Methods", HttpContext.Current.Request.Headers["Access-Control-Request-Methods"]);
        HttpContext.Current.Response.AppendHeader("Access-Control-Allow-Headers", HttpContext.Current.Request.Headers["Access-Control-Request-Headers"]);
        HttpContext.Current.Response.End();
    }
    public object Get(string locale, string deviceType)
    {
        string origin = HttpContext.Current.Request.Headers.Get("Origin") ?? "";
        HttpContext.Current.Response.AddHeader("Access-Control-Allow-Origin", origin);

Yet, I do not have any access-control or any appended headers in the server response. If you need any more information let me know.

A: Please visit http://www.asp.net/web-api/overview/security/enabling-cross-origin-requests-in-web-api. you will get a complete guide to implement CORS in WebAPI.
UPDATE:
To implement CORS in WEBAPI please follows these steps:

*

*Add the CORS NuGet package in your solution. In Visual Studio, from the Tools menu, select Library Package Manager, then select Package Manager Console. In the Package Manager Console window, type the following command:
Install-Package Microsoft.AspNet.WebApi.Cors

*Open the file App_Start/WebApiConfig.cs. Add the following code to the WebApiConfig.Register method.
public static class WebApiConfig
{
   public static void Register(HttpConfiguration config)
   {
    // New code
    config.EnableCors();
  }
}

*Next, add the [EnableCors] attribute to the BootStrapController class:
[EnableCors(origins: "*", headers: "*", methods: "*")]
public class BootStrapController  : ApiController
{
    // Controller methods
}

origins,headers and  methods may vary according to your need.

A: The previous answer is correct, but if you want to enable CORS in all the controllers, you can do that a really easy way: in the WebApiConfig class, inside of the Register method, add the next two lines:
public static class WebApiConfig
{
   public static void Register(HttpConfiguration config)
   {
       // These next two lines enables CORS for all controllers
       var cors = new EnableCorsAttribute("*", "*", "*");
       config.EnableCors(cors);
   }
}

The new STEM Building at CRISTA Ministries' King's Schools will serve students in grades 6-12 at this private K-12 institution. Designed to complement the architecture of the surrounding historic campus context, formerly a hospital for tuberculosis patients, the team was tasked with making a clear statement about both the quality and future of science education at King's Schools. The project delivers modern teaching environments including state-of-the-art science labs; engineering labs for applied technology; a learning commons that supports research, discussion and collaboration; small group work space allowing personalized education; and a fundamental integration of math and science departments.
Within a tight footprint, every space is designed to support teaching and learning, every classroom is designed to be fully utilized at all times, and every lab was designed for both instruction and practice, minimizing the number of rooms needed. Visibility into, and from, every teaching space is fundamental to the success of an integrated curriculum and was a founding principle of the design. Further, outdoor learning labs and green building features connect students with the natural world and resource conservation, complementing their studies in biological, environmental, and earth sciences.

One of the most important pieces that is embedded along the way of Report Card setup is to review sharing, print, and test entry along the way. Sharing controls which users have access to field groups and fields for entry on a specific student. Printing report cards along the way will help to catch aesthetic or mapping errors especially for comments, fields displaying custom report values, and formatting such as size and text. Testing Entry is helpful and as administrator or those with permission, if shared, it is easy to see how the entry screen works, how data is visible to the user, or (without sharing) how become a user can be a useful tool.
To review Sharing, visit various overview screens for Report Cards and Field Groups.
To see an overview of how Field Groups are shared, select Grades> Under Report Card Administration, select Field Groups.
To see an overview of how Report Cards are shared, select Grades> Under Report Card Administration, select Report Cards.
Select one or more of the abilities the chosen users can do: Edit Grades Within the Grading Period Window (most common for teacher users or those with students they are entering data for) and/or Edit Grades Outside Grading Period Window (most common for administrative or point of contact users who are able to edit grades once the teacher's window is closed).
To return to the Field Group Profile (4) or continue to Manage Fields (5).
Select Field Group List (6) to return to the main screen.
NOTE: Some thing look into is creating Permission Groups or the ability to make a group of users who you will regularly share to, other than the options provided int he Share With menu. Visit our Sharing Help Manual for more details and on sharing practices.
Congratulations! You are finished with the Report Card process! Great work! Continue to troubleshoot for the current grading period and refining all the pieces.

C# Querying With LINQ Querying the BirdWatcher Data How Much Data Do We Have?
Note that sightingsCorrect uses SelectMany(), while sightingsWrong and average use Select().
The reason the average works is that the "Count" is applied to the sightings for each bird. So the "Average" totals them up and then divides by the number of counts. You can't use "SelectMany" there because it works on lists, not individual values as the "Count" returns.
var sightingsWrong = birds.Select(b => b.Sightings).Count(); is actually not a count of birds. It's a count of unflattened Sightings lists, which happens to be equal to the count of birds. That's what I've been trying to figure out. :) I don't understand how birds.Select(b => b.Sightings.Count()).Average(); is expanding (unflattening?) Sightings without using SelectMany to count each item in Sightings before averaging.
When I said "count of birds", I meant that it "happens to be equal to the count of birds". So it makes sense to use the simpler method and just count birds since you get the same result.
The reason you don't need (and can't use) "SelectMany" with "Average" is because "b.Sightings.Count()" converts each list into a single number, eliminating the need for "flattening". Then those single numbers get averaged.

Phase Two Of Construction Begins At Oroville Dam
May 8, 2018 /in California and the U.S., Media Coverage /by Ed Joyce /Action News Now (Chico)by Laura Eng
Crews went back to work again on the Oroville Dam at midnight on Tuesday for phase two of construction. This year, crews will be replacing the temporary walls with permanent structural concrete walls. Crews are removing the temporary roller-compacted concrete walls in the middle section of the main spillway.

OPINION: Hold Water District Board Accountable For Delta Tunnels Vote
May 8, 2018 /in California and the U.S., Media Coverage /by Ed Joyce /The Mercury News (San Jose)
It's ludicrous for the Santa Clara Valley Water District board to believe it can steer Gov. Jerry Brown's $16 billion Delta twin tunnels project by committing to help fund it. The board should stand up to pressure from the state and reject the project when it meets at 9:30 a.m. Tuesday and instead work with California's next governor on a plan to truly secure a reliable source of water for Silicon Valley while protecting the environmental health of the Delta.

California Considers Charge On Utility Bills To Create Safe Water Fund
May 8, 2018 /in California and the U.S., Media Coverage /by Ed Joyce /Water Deeply (New York)by Tess Townsend
Gaps in funding for water treatment are a major problem in California. Water providers operate independently, relying virtually entirely on customer fees to cover costs. For agencies with scale, money and access to quality water sources, this model works well. But absent those resources, contamination persists for years without resolution.

Separating Water And Politics Isn't Easy In California
May 8, 2018 /in California and the U.S., Media Coverage /by Ed Joyce /Los Angeles Timesby Bettina Boxall
The 2014 water bond included a novel funding approach designed to take at least some of the politicking out of deciding which projects get public money. This week's tortured deliberations by the California Water Commission showed just how tough it is to do that. By applying a complex procedure for grading proposals, the bond restricted state taxpayer spending to the pieces of a project that would provide measurable benefits to the public.

Is WaterFix Another Megaproject Gone Awry?
May 8, 2018 /in California and the U.S., Media Coverage /by Ed Joyce /California Magazine - Cal Alumni Associationby Glen Martin
The 20th century was the century of the megaproject, and as usual, California pointed the way for the nation. Southern California's freeway system and the State Water Project, both largely completed by the 1970s, were mighty testaments to the conceit that we could build our way out of any problem. That view, of course, has since been tempered by inconvenient realities.

California Lawmakers Want Expedited Action On Salton Sea Restoration
May 8, 2018 /in Media Coverage, San Diego County /by Andrea Mora /Capital Public Radio (Sacramento)by Ezra David Romero
California leaders who represent the shrinking Salton Sea want the same kind of expedited action taken on restoring it as the Oroville spillway crisis had in 2017. After the spillway eroded millions of dollars were quickly allotted to fix the dam. A 10-year plan to restore California's largest lake was adopted last year. Assemblyman Eduardo Garcia questioned the agencies in charge of the project Tuesday at an oversight hearing over why it's behind schedule.

San Jose Water Agency Approves Up To $650 Million For Jerry Brown's Delta Tunnels Project
May 8, 2018 /in California and the U.S., Media Coverage /by Andrea Mora /The Mercury News (San Jose)by Paul Rogers
In a significant boost for Gov. Jerry Brown's $17 billion plan to build two massive tunnels under the Sacramento-San Joaquin Valley Delta to more easily move water south, Silicon Valley's largest water agency Tuesday endorsed the project and voted to commit up to $650 million to help pay for it. With a 4-3 vote after a packed four-hour meeting, the Santa Clara Valley Water District reversed a decision it made in October to oppose the two-tunnel project.

Brown's Delta Tunnels Get $650 Million Boost From Bay Area Water Agency
May 8, 2018 /in California and the U.S., Media Coverage /by Andrea Mora /The Sacramento Beeby Dale Kasler
A Bay Area water agency agreed Tuesday to pump $650 million into Gov. Jerry Brown's Delta tunnels project, providing a meaningful boost for the controversial $16.7 billion plan. The 4-3 vote by the Santa Clara Valley Water District brings the tunnels project, which would overhaul the troubled heart of California's aging water delivery network, a step closer to being fully funded. Just a few months ago the project, officially known as California WaterFix, was sputtering for a lack of funds.

Silicon Valley Water Board Says Yes To Delta Tunnels

Silicon Valley's water district narrowly approved participating in a massive and pricey California water project, including contributing $650 million to help pay for it. The Santa Clara Valley Water District Board voted 4-3 to join the Joint Powers Authority that will oversee the design, construction and financing of Governor Jerry Brown's approximately $17 million project that will use massive tunnels to siphon water from the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta for use in drier regions in Southern California. "If we are not engaged on these issues, the balance of power will tip to the south," said board member Tony Estremera during the meeting.

State Has 'March Miracle' In Water Conservation
May 8, 2018 /in California and the U.S., Media Coverage /by Andrea Mora /Chico Enterprise-Recordby Steve Schoonover
There may not have been a "March Miracle" when it came to the snowpack in the state, but there was sure one when it came to water conservation. The State Water Resources Control reported that in March urban Californians used 24.8 percent less water than in March 2013, the benchmark year considered to be before the drought. That's a dramatic turnaround from conservation numbers that have been dropping fairly steadily since June 2016, culminating in February with the state using more water than during the same month in 2013.

Foo Fighters Ring in 2021 With New Song 'No Son of Mine'
January 1, 2021, 9:20 AM ·3 min read
Foo Fighters have loudly rung in the new year with their new song "No Son of Mine," the latest single from the band's upcoming album Medicine at Midnight.
While the laidback first single "Shame Shame" showed off Foo Fighters' funky side, "No Son of Mine" finds the band returning to their big-energy arena rock stylings with fiery riffs reminiscent of Heart, Motorhead and Queen's "Stone Cold Crazy."
Foo Fighters Blaze Through Cover of Chuck Berry's 'Run Rudolph Run'
Foo Fighters' Dave Grohl Salutes Supporters of Save Our Stages Act
Billie Eilish, Foo Fighters Join iHeartRadio Alter Ego 2021 Lineup
"This is the kind of song that just resides in all of us and if it makes sense at the time, we let it out," Grohl said of the track in a statement, "Lyrically it's meant to poke at the hypocrisy of self righteous leaders, people that are guilty of committing the crimes they're supposedly against…"
Medicine at Midnight, the Foo Fighters' 10th studio album, arrives February 5th. The album is available to preorder in a variety of formats, including a limited edition vinyl, at the band's official shop. Grohl also shared a handwritten note about the album, which was recorded pre-pandemic and meant to be released in tandem with the band's planned 25th anniversary tour in 2020. However, the pandemic happened:
"As we say goodbye (fuck you) to 2020 and flip the calendar page to 2021… Pour a drink, turn it up, close your eyes and imagine the festival field blowing up to ["No Son of Mine"]. Because it fucking will," Grohl wrote.
"No Son of Mine" wraps up a December full of gifts from the Foo Fighters crew, with Dave Grohl and producer Greg Kurstin first delivering eight covers of Jewish artists — including the late Mountain frontman Leslie West — for their Hanukkah Sessions, then with Grohl linking up with the Bird and the Bee for "Little Drummer Boy." The band also contributed a cover of Chuck Berry's "Run Rudolph Run" to Amazon Music Holiday Plays special, while drummer Taylor Hawkins teamed with Pearl Jam's Matt Cameron for their new side project Nighttime Boogie Association.
Earlier this week, Grohl applauded the passage of the Save Our Stages Act as part of the latest economic stimulus bill. "The preservation of America's smaller, independent venues is not only crucial to the millions of [concert-goers] whose lives are bettered by experiencing their favorite artists in the flesh, but to the future of music itself, as it gives the next generation of young musicians a place to cut their teeth, hone their craft and grow into the voices of tomorrow," Grohl wrote.
"The absence of live music this year has left us all longing for that communal feeling of connection, one that is best felt when joined in a song," Grohl continued. "The Save Our Stages Act brings us one step closer to sharing that feeling again, one that I hope we can all experience again very soon. Every day we're one step closer."


More of an all-round art/design house than solely a manga studio, VK-UK is the base of independent artist Niki Hunter. VK-UK, short for Visual Kei (meaning "visual style") in the UK, was a concept spawned from the influence of Japanese music and street fashion trends on Niki's own creative work. In 2004 she started creating a premise and a range of characters which sum up the ethos of VK-UK, with the intent of developing the idea into a whole design 'brand', along the lines of Sanrio's 'Hello Kitty' and the Korean 'Pucca'. VK-UK is still a growing entity but to date the VK-UK name has been put to a range of merchandise like T-shirts, badges and art prints as well as a developing comic series - the first 'teaser' strip of which featured in Sweatdrop Studios' 'Sugardrops' anthology.
Niki's partner-in-crime on VK-UK is her husband Chris - while not an artist as such he is an ideas man with a good creative eye for detail (his day job being a technical design office manager). His mind is an abundant source of off-the-wall story ideas and he also caters for VK-UK's current website needs, being self-taught in the ways of HTML.
Niki Hunter has been working in commercial art fields for around 15 years at the time of writing. She has always been something of a specialist in manga/anime style artwork, having been hooked on Japanese animation even as a child of the 80's. Having said that she is also a highly versatile artist able to adapt to virtually any style required of her. Taking on paid art commisssions as young as the age of 14, her professional client list includes UK games developer giant Climax Group, Microsoft, Codotech/Namco, ADV and J-rock artists JO:YA and Duel Jewel.
Until recently Niki was also a member of Sweatdrop Studios, having contributed to two of their anthologies - Sugardrops and Pink is for Girls.

The man entered a home in the Logan area on Saturday and allegedly choked a woman before forcing her and four young children into a car.
The vehicle was driven around for several hours before it returned to the same address in the early evening.
The man allegedly kidnapped the children a short time later, leaving the mother behind.
Police allege the 29-year-old then rammed a police car as he fled the home before ramming a second patrol car at a petrol station in Daisy Hill at about 8.15pm.
The accused fled on foot, abandoning the children, and tried to steal a car from a 48-year-old man in Loganholme just before 9pm.
The man was taken into custody after a "violent struggle" with police.
He's facing multiple domestic violence charges including kidnapping, common assault and strangulation and is due to appear in the Beenleigh Magistrates on Monday.
The children were returned to their mother without injury.


Todd Douglas Miller's "Apollo 11"
Discussion in 'TV & Media' started by hbquikcomjamesl, Apr 15, 2019.
I saw Apollo 11 last night.
I will say that I would have rather seen movie theatres maintain presentation standards (i.e., the screen was poorly masked, with the bottom edge noticeably curved), and leave the seating the way it is in live theatre and in concert halls, than upgrade the seating, and let presentation go to pot.
That said, it was visually far more impressive than Gibson and Coe's almost-half-century-old Footprints on the Moon, and they didn't take the shortcuts (e.g., using footage of an earlier Saturn V launch) Gibson and Coe needed in order to make it into theatres less than two months after the Moon Landing, but on the other hand, it lacked the warmth, of Footprints, and the music wasn't as good (Philip Moody's Laguna Concerto was a perfect match to the Apollo 11 visuals).
Saw it in IMAX and it was an amazing document. I loved that there was no voice-over; just the actual transmissions. I already have it pre-ordered on Blu-Ray; highly recommended!
Yes, it was definitely nice hearing Jack King calling the countdown without anybody else talking over him.
(Incidentally, that is the most obvious "tell" that indicates that Gibson and Coe used an earlier Saturn V launch [I used to know which one] as a shortcut: "Guidance internal" vs. "Guidance is internal."
Speaking of Saturn V launches, Assignment: Earth used the unmanned Apollo 4 launch, the only Saturn V launch prior to the episode's airdate, much less its production date.
Yeah, saw it last month and it's really quite amazing what they achieved. What really got me was how sharp the imagery was to the point that it really feels modern in some places rather than a throwback.
I just did a Google search (this thread was top when I filtered it to UK and the last week by the way) and discovered it comes out here on 28th June , finally. Given that the man behind it is from Britain - Sheffield to be precise, I should say it's about time. I know some of the scenes of the Saturn V's ascent from this doc were used in 'First Man' from the commentary track to that film.

Watch brown bears in their natural habitat as they swim, play, sleep, or eat in a 3/4 acre enclosure near Sitka. The Fortress of the Bear takes in abandoned or orphaned cubs and then works to find new homes for them, sending them to zoos around the country. You'll view these creatures from raised platforms while a guide shares information about bear safety, nutrition, and biology.
See the glaciers of Tracy Arm or Misty Fjords, finding wildlife like sea otters and whales.
Summer is not the only time to embrace Sitka's connection to our vast oceans and the inhabitants. November's annual Sitka WhaleFest, hosted by the Sitka Sound Science Center, celebrates marine life through a science symposium, art, wildlife cruises and so much more!
Built in 1843, during the "Golden Age" of Russian North America, this spacious, two-story building was home to Bishop Innocent of the Russian Orthodox Church. It was the center of Russian North America's cultural, educational, and business ventures, complete with a formal reception hall, dining room, chapel, school, and seminary.
The Indian river is home to a number of fish: Summer Pink, chum, coho, chinook salmon, along with Dolly Varden, char, and steelhead trout. This arched bridge is the place to see them. Be sure to stop by on your way through Alaska's oldest designated National Park.
The Indian River is a beautiful, clear stream that's home to spawning salmon each summer. On the lower reaches of the river, by the intertidal zone and lower floodplain, pink and chum salmon spawn from mid-July through September.
Farther up the river, you'll find coho and chinook salmon, Dolly Varden, char, and steelhead trout.
A clump of volcanic rock in the middle of the ocean, this 60-acre island is home to nesting puffins, murres, cormorants, and peregrine falcons from May to September. Thousands of birds show up, making it a loud, raucous place. They come because of the island's location in the middle of food-rich ocean currents and its lack of predators.
This protected bay roughly 15 miles south of Sitka is a great destination by boat or floatplane to see birds and bears. Thousands of salmon run up numerous watersheds to a lake just inland from the coast and the bears congregate here from July to September. The area is heavily forested and numerous waterfalls add an ethereal feel to the trip.

Mississippi Triangle (1984)
MISSISSIPPI TRIANGLE (1984) Newly Digitized
by Roselly Torres
a documentary film about race and labor in the Mississippi Delta directed by Christine Choy, Worth Long and Allan Siegel.
About MISSISSIPPI TRIANGLE
This is an intimate portrait of life in the Mississippi Delta, where Chinese, African Americans and whites live in a complex world of cotton, labor, and racial conflict. The history of the Chinese community, originally brought to the South to work on cotton plantations after the Civil War, is framed against the harsh realities of civil rights, religion, politics, and class in the South. Rare historical footage and interviews of Delta residents are combined to create this unprecedented document of ethnic relations in the American South. A Third World Newsreel production.
MISSISSIPPI TRIANGLE was scanned from a 16mm release print on the National Film and Sound Archive of Australia's Scanity HDR film scanner. TWN thanks Andrew Boyer who graded the final DPX sequence and Simon Drake for his assistance.
"….ethnicity, acculturation, racism and interracial associations, poverty, social and economic change, community development and much more."
– Prof. Neil McMillen, Univ. of Southern Mississippi
"A two-hour immersion in the Mississippi Delta, creating, with no other exposition than is contained in images and the words of persons being interviewed, a rich documentary brew."

California firefighter goes missing after visiting his condo in Baja California

"MX" for Borderland Beat
Aguilar has been missing since Thursday
Francisco Aguilar (age 48), a firefighter based in Los Angeles, California, went missing last week while he visited his condo in Rosarito, Baja California, a coastal town south of Tijuana and less than 30 minutes from the U.S.-Mexico border.
Aguilar's family told reporters that he visited his condo in Mexico regularly and always stayed in close contact with his family during his trips. When they did not hear from him in 24 hours, some of his family members went to his condo to check on his — only to discover a frightening scene.
"The condo was ransacked, tables were overturned. It was a crazy, crazy episode," Aguilar's daughter Bella told ABC 7 News. "Vehicles were missing, items were missing. It was devastating to hear… It was so heartbreaking to hear." The Mexican police told the family that Aguilar was a victim of foul play.
"It's a nightmare, for sure," added his daughter Amaris. "The fear is the worst." His relatives also added that Aguilar's phone was shut off, which they say was very unusual of him.
"We were on FaceTime the other day, and he was on the beach and just talking … about how it was so much fun and this was a little taste of what retirement would be like for him," Amaris said to CBS Los Angeles. "I just pray with every fiber in my being that my father returns to us."
Aguilar was a member of the Los Angeles Fire Department and has served there for 20 years. He was assigned to the Cypress Park's Station 44. He was also a U.S. Army Veteran.
Aguilar's family filed a missing person report to authorities in Baja California, and they are pleading for more assistance in finding him and bring him back home safe. The FBI has reportedly been assisting the family in Aguilar's search. However, a spokeswoman told reporters that the case falls under Mexican jurisdiction.
"That's their jurisdiction … we have to defer to Mexican authorities", the FBI said.
According to investigators, Aguilar went to Rosarito to check on his condo, which is often rented to visitors. "He was just so happy last week, talking about how going to Rosarito is just like paradise and how he loves having this freedom and spending more time with his family and just being there," Amaris Aguilar, one of his daughters, said.
"He's been to every single volleyball game, every single event my whole life and I just don't know what I would do without my dad."

CARSON CITY WEATHER


Dawn Farnham is so spirited that it is difficult to pin her down to a single place. She was born in Portsmouth, England in 1949 but grew up in Perth, Western Australia. In the sixties, she left for England and met and married her journalist husband, Roger, and moved to Paris with him. There she learned French and lots of other things and travelled round Europe in a Volkswagen beetle. As her foreign correspondent husband moved from one exotic location to another, she lived in China, Hong Kong, Korea, Japan and Singapore. She did a B.A. in Japanese at The School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS) and a Master's Degree at Kings College.
It was in Singapore that she really found the freedom to pursue an old love–writing. She is the author of many successful novels set in Singapore (The Red Thread, The Shallow Seas, The Hills of Singapore, among others). Currently, she is based in Perth. Her latest novel is A Crowd of Twisted Things. This new novel follows the fortunes of young Eurasian, Annie Collins, as she seeks her baby daughter, given away by her murderous Australian husband as the Japanese tanks rolled into Singapore in 1942, and finds much more than she bargained for.
Here is an exclusive interview with the author.
The Crowd of Twisted Things is set in the Singapore of 1950s and one of themes it pursues is the Maria Hertogh episode and its aftermath. What attracted you to that phase of Singapore history? What inspired you to write this book?
I wanted to look at the mess and heartache created by war and its aftermath and the particular experience of women.
The Maria Hertogh custody battle and its violent aftermath came at a time when Singapore found itself in one of its most critical periods – rebuilding itself after the occupation, embroiled in the Malayan Emergency and at an unstable political period where new players and ideas were emerging amongst the Chinese and Malay factions but the British still in charge. Dramatic tension is at the heart of all novels so it was an obvious choice on many levels.
Around all that I wanted to parallel Maria's story in Annie Collin's own search for her lost child. Also I very much wanted to tell the story of women in war – their limited choices, the particular experience that women have in times of violence. We know a lot about men in war but very little about women. Most importantly this novel deals with the stories of many different women – Eurasian, Chinese, Malay, British – as they lived through and after the Occupation.
How did you go about the research for your book? How much research do you do for your historical novels as you have written a few of them in the past?
I always do a lot of research, much more than appears in any of my novels. Once I have decided on a period and a subject matter, I look for pictures and maps of the time to get a visual feel for the period, then I read as broadly as possible, gradually narrowing reading down to verbatim accounts if they exist, books of memoirs and anecdotes.
For A Crowd of Twisted Things, for example, I started with a history of Singapore during and after the war, the Malayan Emergency and so on. Then the memoirs or biographies of men of the time and then, finally, I read all the women's stories I could gather – there were not that many from Singapore and Southeast Asian in general. Women are quite silent on that time. Three that do exist are Elizabeth Choy's biography and memoir. Sheila Allen's 'A Girl in Changi' and the harrowing 'Tears of a Comfort Woman' about a young girl's forced prostitution which echoed so many Asian women's experiences at the hands of the Japanese.
Because of the research involved, do you think it is far more difficult to write historical fiction than contemporary fiction?
I don't think it is more or less difficult to write historical or contemporary fiction. Some authors are brilliant at getting the contemporary scene and the prevailing zeitgeist. I find my muse in historical fiction, recreating worlds of the past. For me contemporary fiction writing would be like pulling teeth so it is definitely easier for me to write historical fiction. I enjoy the whole process of research and then pulling the reader into a time they might know nothing about.
You were based in Singapore for many years. Now you live in Perth, Australia. How has the move affected you as a writer?
I find my geographical location very important to my writing. I have a further completed novel set in Singapore with my agent. I completed that before I left. I have now turned my attention to Australian settings and history. That is the only difference. Except that being around family does take away from writing time but I am quite disciplined and tend to work at night in any case. It is a new challenge to write with Australian settings.
I love all kinds of stories from anywhere and about anything so long as they are well-written. In that I'm sure I am no different to any other reader. Dull writing, bad plotting, these are turn-offs. I wasn't sure I'd like Ha Jin's 'War Trash', but it is so well written, so spare, that I was drawn in.
Authors really rather than individual books. From an early age Jane Austen and the Brontes, then later and in particular Joseph Conrad. Also Thackeray, Somerset Maugham, William Golding, Anthony Burgess.
For me it is plotting. The act of writing – dialogue, description and so on – I don't have too much trouble with, but being happy with the unfolding of the plot, that takes a lot of hair-pulling.
"Don't get it right, get it written." James Thurber, cracking American satirist and writer, said that.
It seems to say everything there is about the act of writing. Get it on the page, imperfect, awful, even if you hate it, get it all down all the way from beginning to end. Perfection is impossible in a first draft. Prevarication is the writer's enemy. Then go back and rewrite, rewrite, rewrite.
Surprisingly I am rereading 'The Secret Garden' and 'Anne of Green Gables', because I'm planning out a children's book set in Perth at the turn of the century and reading great children's authors is inspirational.
I always have a lot of things on the go. So a children's book, also working on a screenplay set in Chinatown in Sydney for my agent and plotting out a mystery/drama/love story set in England and Western Australia in 1885.
I am one third with my two daughters of Tempest Productions here in Perth and have also just finished a short film script which we plan to film next March.

Time to get rid of the red tin of unpainted lead. The only thing I found in it that I might use is some Front Rank Portuguese that I may paint for Sharp Practice.
These figures are going to go at a very good price, such a good price that I am actually not going to take the time to count them. They are all metal except for plastic Perry Dragoons. Some are painted. What follows is a rough list, no guarantees here. Numbers are thought to be accurate and are underestimated but not guaranteed!
So at least 180 metal figures. I believe most metal 28mm figures go for over $2 each, so $400 roughly.

Home Page Blog Geis introduces students to logistics
Geis introduces students to logistics
Geis, a specialist in transport and warehouse logistics, has been working intensively with students and various student organisations for several years.
The aim is to familiarize students with the field of logistics, to introduce practices and trends, as well as to try to educate future employees. Through this cooperation, the company also aims to positively influence the quality of education in the field of transport and warehouse logistics.
The logistics provider's cooperation with schools and their students is truly extensive. As Monika Švecová, HR Manager at Geis SK, says: "Over time, our activities in this area have expanded significantly. The feedback from students and schools has been so positive that we are even getting to know primary school pupils and showing them what is actually involved in logistics. There are already so many of these activities that we naturally do it in our spare time, .... but it's definitely worth it."
Students are most often exposed to the day-to-day operations through excursions directly to Geis branch offices. Students and their questions are addressed by HR managers, branch managers and the company's proxy.
Every school year, 5-6 high school students from Zvolen and Banská Bystrica regularly join Geis for work experience. The students are mainly involved in administrative activities (checking delivery documentation, monitoring the satisfaction of recipients, etc.). It happens that the students find interesting the possibilities to work in Geis and after school they start working in the departments where they have completed their student practice. "Sometimes it happens that we get a thank-you letter directly from the sc hool principal. They appreciate what we do for their students, they thank us and are happy that we are helping young people. They say they don't have many opportunities to get relevant work experience," says Švecová.
Thanks to Geis' connection to the Školáci v práci INAK project, primary school pupils were able to try out different company positions for a day. Those that require primary education, those that require secondary education, and finally places where they need a university degree. The goal is to show them how important education is to their lives.
In the Zvolen region, Geis also supports Konekt - a counselling centre for young people and Heuréka - a leisure centre for young people. The company regularly supports their events, informs students and shares its activities with them.
The company also tries to keep in touch with university students studying in the relevant field. Geis Sales Director Dušan Vilhan lectured to students at the Faculty of Operations and Economics of Transport and Communications of the University of Žilina. Geis employees sometimes consult and help students with their bachelor's and master's theses. After successful completion of their studies, if they show interest, Geis tries to secure a suitable job for them.
On the initiative of Professor Verba from the grammar school in Prešov, the GEIS staff organized a collection of English books among themselves. These were then donated to the professor and his students, who use them in the Čítaním k snívaniu project. The whole initiative has had a wonderful response from both the students and the professor.
Thanks to the students of the IT Secondary Vocational School in Banská Bystrica, Geis delivered the gifts to the Úsmev ako dar Foundation. The students handed over the company's gifts directly to the charity.

(PDF) Mass Media Applied sciences And Well-liked Music Genres
The impact totally different genres of music can have on your mind, physique, and group. Traditionally related (and sometimes confused) with onerous rock, heavy metal was additionally extremely popular throughout the last decade, with Ozzy Osbourne achieving success throughout his solo profession; bands like Iron Maiden , Judas Priest and Dio were also broadly standard British acts. Velocity metal pioneer Motörhead maintained its popularity by way of the releases of several albums. Underground scenes produced an array of extra extreme, aggressive Metal subgenres: thrash metallic broke into the mainstream with bands such as Metallica , Slayer , http://www.audio-transcoder.com Exodus , Anthrax , and Megadeth By the late 1980s, Metallica would obtain mainstream success and would turn out to be the most effective promoting music artists of all time. Different types like death steel and black metallic would remain a subcultural phenomena.
Cognitive neuroscience of music is the scientific research of brain-primarily based mechanisms concerned in the cognitive processes underlying music. These behaviours embrace music listening, performing, composing, studying, writing, and ancillary actions. It also is more and more concerned with the brain basis for musical aesthetics and musical emotion. The field is distinguished by its reliance on direct observations of the brain, utilizing such methods as functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), magnetoencephalography (MEG), electroencephalography (EEG), and positron emission tomography (PET).
Occasions of such extraordinary creativity and originality in dance music are naturally accompanied by frenzied makes an attempt to pin down the varied strains. The term 'Wonky' was certainly one of these, linking the chaotic clamour of the Flying Lotus-helmed 'LA Beat' scene, embroiled in post hip hop experiments with the close to-mythical marks left by the late J Dilla, with the abstractions emitting from the more experimental quarters of London-centric dubstep, encapsulated by Kode9's Hyperdub imprint. From 2007, the cerebral fluorescence of productions by Ikonika, Rustie, Quarta-330, and Zomby, reminiscent of Ikonika's Please shared one thing of the purple aesthetic.
Rock music has not been this irrelevant since the late Nineteen Fifties and early Sixties, when its momentum was stalled by Elvis joining the Military, Buddy Holly crashing into an Iowa cornfield, and Chuck Berry being sent to jail for violating the Mann Act. Very little might be mentioned for Don MacLean's saccharine and embarrassing American Pie," a track which persists completely as a result of child boomers are especially liable to a very smug model of nostalgia. Rock got here again from the dead as soon as before, when it was brought back to life by 4 younger men from Liverpool. But this time it looks like it may be gone for good.
Think back to what you although when you first heard the term Home Music"? If you happen to had been like me, it was a complete lot of untz"-ing, flashing lights, raves, and DJs I did not need to take heed to. Flash-ahead to in the present day and that is all changed. Subgenres inside House have multiplied like rabbits and nobody seems to even actually know what House is anymore. On this article we'll explore all of the glory of Home and the handfuls of subgenres held beneath it. I positively can't get to them all as a result of new ones pop up everyday, however I will attempt to hit all those that might come up in conversation.
The second individual on our list that's still a PhD candidate can be one other punk rock icon. Dexter Holland has not accomplished his Ph.D. just yet however he most certainly has gained success as a member of the famed punk band The Offspring. His position in The Offspring is as primary songwriter, singer, and rhythm guitarist. The Offspring, after different iterations and band member adjustments, formally turned a band in 1985. Their 1994 launch, Smash, still holds the document for most gross sales of an album on an impartial label. Past music, Holland has his personal enterprise selling hot sauce known as Gringo Bandito as well as his personal report label called Nitro Records.
Music was easy. Some individuals liked rock. Some people appreciated pop. Some people appreciated jazz, blues or classical. And, principally, that was kind of it. Nevertheless, musicians are a restless bunch and you can solely play Smoke on the Water, Always Crashing within the Identical Car or Roast Fish and Cornbread so many instances before someone is bound to say: Hang on a minute, what would happen if we played all of them at the similar time?" And so it's that new genres are born. Now think about that taking place for not less than half a century or so – all over the world – and you reach a degree at which, in response to the engineer and data alchemist" Glenn McDonald, there at the moment are 1,264 genres of in style music; all you could do is go directly to his startlingly intelligent web site and look – well, listen – for yourself.
That being mentioned, the style is price mentioning because it supplies one of the defensible cases of a "not part of the genre" protection of an artist: Johnny Cash was, by the Eighties, thought by most country music executives to be washed up and incapable of attracting youthful fans. Then he attached with producer Rick Rubin for a series of recordings featuring covers of artists similar to Nine Inch Nails in classic Johnny Money model. These have been an enormous success with young Alternative Rock followers, revitalizing Cash's profession.
It grew up with Guitars. Any Rock group would include Electrical Guitars, Bass and Drums. Rock places a better diploma of emphasis on musicianship, reside efficiency, and an ideology of authenticity than pop music. Rock emphasizes on heavy beats and unlike pop, could concentrate on issues aside from romance. A lot of the well-known rock songs are built on philosophical themes. This genre slowly combined with other genres to produce new varieties. Some of them will likely be discussed soon.
Doubtless one of the most influential British rock bands of all time, the Rolling Stones could simply high any record of iconic British rock teams. Childhood associates Mick Jagger and Keith Richards formed an iconic musical partnership as youngsters in the Nineteen Fifties earlier than forming the Stones with Brian Jones, Charlie Watts, Invoice Wyman and Ian Stewart. The group developed on their early covers of tracks by the likes of blues legends Howlin' Wolf and Chuck Berry to produce increasingly more expansive sounds, but nonetheless saved blues-rock on the absolute core of their music. The reductive 'Beatles vs Stones' argument will all the time persist amongst music followers, but the swagger and the sheer riffage on show on classic Stones' albums Let It Bleed, Sticky Fingers and Exile on Important Road is irresistible.

make a journey to Cork, Dublin or any city In Ireland , most individuals have pale skin however fairly dark hair. Until then, the Irish would have seemed much like southern Europeans, or folks from the Middle East, with darkish eyes, hair and complexion. Bodach exhibits up both in Ireland and Scotland, as it was borrowed into English from a Gaelic phrase that each dialects share.
Separate articles
My father have to be a fable then as he was born right into a farming household near the West Coast of Ireland and is darker than most Spanish/Italians. There is little doubt in my mind that a lot historical information about the Irish has been subverted and obscured over the centuries for political and religious purposes. The prevalence of dark skinned Irish, especially alongside the west coast of Ireland, is critical sufficient to warrant additional investigation.
The Great famine is among the biggest events in Irish history and is ingrained in the identity on the nation to this day. It was a serious in think about Irish Nationalism and Ireland's battle for Independence throughout subsequent rebellions, as many Irish individuals felt a stronger have to regain Independence from English rule. The arrival of the Anglo-Normans brought additionally the Welsh, Flemish, Anglo-Saxons, and Bretons. Most of those were assimilated into Irish culture and polity by the 15th century, excluding a number of the walled towns and the Pale areas.[52] The Late Middle Ages additionally noticed the settlement of Scottish gallowglass families of combined Gaelic-Norse and Pict descent, mainly within the north; because of similarities of language and tradition they too have been assimilated. For Irish people of black African descent, see Black folks in Ireland.
Irish girls recognize certain things and dislike others; studying which to focus on and produce up throughout a date will provide you with a bonus when looking to appeal to an Irish girl. Ireland is a nation whose folks have discovered to appreciate language. Whether your lady is a Tayto lover or a King fan, you'll not avoid the style (or odor) of Ireland's favourite flavour of crisps (cheese and onion) if you bag yourself an Irish girl. Man up and cope with it, or certainly be part of her on the darkish aspect so you can both take pleasure in a taste of tacky heaven.
Major early exports were The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Who and The Kinks.[233] Together with different bands from the United Kingdom, these constituted the British Invasion, a popularisation of British pop and rock music within the United States. Into the Nineteen Seventies heavy steel, new wave, and 2 tone.[233] Britpop is a subgenre of different rock that emerged from the British impartial music scene of the early 1990s and was characterised by bands reviving British guitar pop music of the Nineteen Sixties and Seventies. As a results of the history of the formation of the United Kingdom, the cultures of England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland are various and have various degrees of overlap and distinctiveness.
They say that the black irish have been a mixture of Spanish and Irish blood from when the Spanish Armada crashed on the Western seabord of Ireland in 1588. The remaining survivors have been stated to have stayed in Ireland and intermarried w/Irish women there, creating olive-complected, black-haired, darkish-eyed descendents. It is also said the Black Irish are those individuals single women in ireland who still reside in the Caribbean today on an island referred to as Marreats. They are a mix of African and Irish (and indigenous/indian too, I'm sure), precisely like me! 'Black Irish' in custom typically refers to individuals of pure (or largely) Irish descent with very darkish brown or black hair.
The sixth-century Irish monk and missionary Columbanus is regarded as one of many "fathers of Europe",[14] adopted by saints Cillian and Fergal. The scientist Robert Boyle is taken into account the "father of chemistry", and Robert Mallet one of the "fathers of seismology". Famous Irish writers include Oscar Wilde, W. B. Yeats, Samuel Beckett, George Bernard Shaw, Bram Stoker, James Joyce, C.S. Lewis and Seamus Heaney. Notable Irish explorers include Brendan the Navigator, Sir Robert McClure, Sir Alexander Armstrong, Sir Ernest Shackleton and Tom Crean. By some accounts, the primary European youngster born in North America had Irish descent on either side.[15] Many presidents of the United States have had some Irish ancestry.
Together with English and Welsh settlers, these Scots launched Protestantism (notably the Presbyterianism of the Church of Scotland) and the Ulster Scots and English languages to, mainly, northeastern Ireland. With the partition of Ireland and independence for what is now the Republic of Ireland a few of these individuals found themselves now not dwelling within the United Kingdom. From the attitude of an ACTUAL Irish individual – not an Irish-American one that bases their culture on intergenerational Chinese whispers – this text is bullshit. Wow – some Irish folks have dark hair and sallow skin!
Proposal to prune article
A small number of Irish families of Goidelic origin got here to use a Norman type of their unique surname—in order that Mac Giolla Phádraig turned Fitzpatrick—while some assimilated so properly that the Irish name was dropped in favor of a brand new, Hiberno-Norman form. Another common Irish surname of Norman Irish origin is the 'de' habitational prefix, meaning 'of' and initially signifying prestige and land possession. Examples include de Búrca (Burke), de Brún, de Barra (Barry), de Stac (Stack), de Tiúit, de Faoite (White), de Londras (Landers), de Paor (Power). The Irish surname "Walsh" (in Irish Breathnach) was routinely given to settlers of Welsh origin, who had come throughout and after the Norman invasion. The Joyce and Griffin/Griffith (Gruffydd) households are additionally of Welsh origin.
Brittany remained impartial of France till the early 16th century and nonetheless retains a distinct Brittonic tradition and language, while Britonia in modern Galicia was absorbed into Spanish states by the end of the 9th century AD. British citizens by means of residency within the British abroad territories; however, not all have ancestry from the United Kingdom. In addition to what you have said, the hair texture of "Asiatic races" is sort of distinctive in contrast to that of Irish/Caucasoid hair (no matter hue – be it brown, purple, blond or black).
'Southrons' – the historical Scots language title for the English, largely displaced for the reason that eighteenth century by "Sassenachs". Southeast Asian Hokkien and Teochew speakers additionally name the British angmor lang (紅毛人), which literally means 'red-haired individuals'. One attainable origin of this term is the association of purple-haired folks with the British Isles. In Polish a typical formal term to describe an Englishman is Anglik, derived from the Polish word for England, Anglia, with the phrase Brytyjczyk meaning Briton, from the Polish name for Great Britain, Wielka Brytania.
By 1925, its usage in American English had been extended to mean any Briton, and the expression was so generally recognized that it was used in American newspaper headlines. With the Irish language having totally different dialects in Ireland, the English language in Ireland has its slang. In Ireland, a phrase or a phrase can have several different meanings however how and when its used is necessary. If you ever go to Ireland you'll uncover we have a method with phrases. Even although Irish is our native language, nearly all of the population communicate solely English.
Black hair is the darkest and commonest of all human hair colors globally, because of bigger populations with this dominant trait. It is a dominant genetic trait, and it's found in folks of all backgrounds and ethnicities. It has large amounts of eumelanin and is less dense than other hair colours.[1] In English, black hair is typically described as gentle-black, raven black, or jet-black.
Irish folks emigrated to flee the famine journeying predominantly to the east coast of the US particularly Boston and New York, Liverpool in England, Australia, Canada and New Zealand. Many data present nearly all of emigrants to Australia had been actually prisoners despatched to help within the development of English colonies there.

Paste Magazine was dead-on when they called The Whiskey Gentry a "toe-tapping, steamrolling kind of band, its fingers picking deep into fields of bluegrass, feet stomping in line with a punk-inspired kick drum." Formed in 2009 by husband and wife duo Lauren Staley and Jason Morrow, The Whiskey Gentry is a group of seasoned veterans—to put things mildly, some of the finest pickers and musicians the Southeast has to offer. A recent finalist in the Chris Austin Songwriting Competition held at MerleFest, Staley's natural gifts with words and her powerful lead vocal abilities complement the band's edgy interpretation of an otherwise traditional sound. All of this, coupled with a commanding and high-energy live performance, sets the bar for the way today's country music ought to sound—honest, tight, daring, and void of pretension.


In her influential 1999 book, The Meme Machine (chapter 5) Susan blackmore raised three important problems about memetics. Each problem was titled as follow: "We cannot specify the unit of a meme", "We do not know the mechanism for copying and storing memes", "Memetic evolution is Lamarckian". These three problems are still largely relevant today, as progress with memetics is proving to be slow. However I think my proposed views on memetics, which I call the code model, could help answering or clearing up some of those points.


Marijuana has been a big topic for politicians this year. As things progress and marijuana reform spreads across the nation, prohibitionists have been moving into government positions of power. Jeff Sessions, who is the Attorney General for the Trump administration, has called marijuana "slightly less awful than heroin" and he once stated that good people don't smoke the plant. The administration has threatened to come down on recreational marijuana at a time when it continues to be legalized across the country. California, Nevada, Maine and Massachusetts have joined Colorado, Washington, Oregon, Alaska and D.C. in legalizing recreational marijuana and several states are working hard to follow suit.
52% of those surveyed say they've smoked cannabis at least once.
The new administration has expressed that they may be cracking down on recreational marijuana soon although their position is not necessarily supported by the public consensus. A Gallup poll conducted last year indicated that 60 percent of Americans believe marijuana should be legal. A new survey, conducted in March by Marist in conjunction with Yahoo, revealed that the majority of people believe that marijuana isn't the shameful, terrible drug that is implied by prohibitionists. This helps the many working Americans who use the flower for medicinal or recreational benefits to not feel stigmatized by their decision to utilize the herb.
1,122 American adults were interviewed and researchers found that, of these, 56 percent believe that marijuana is socially acceptable versus the 42 percent who disagreed and the 2 percent who were undecided. 49 percent of those interviewed said they supported legalizing marijuana. 52 percent of the people interviewed said they'd tried marijuana at least once and of those, 54 percent were parents and they were not concerned with marijuana getting into the hands of their children. They were however worried about their children getting access to cigarettes. Only 30 percent said they thought the Trump administration should be tougher than the Obama administration.
Based on the results their survey produced, researchers concluded that 52 percent of Americans have tried marijuana and 56 percent of them believe that it is socially acceptable. This changes the stigma attached to the plant from what it used to be in the past. 52 percent of those who use marijuana are millennials. 55 percent of users are male and 45 percent are female.
Marijuana continues to remain illegal on a federal level under a Schedule I classification which places it beside heroin and LSD as one of the most high risk drugs. Several politicians from all over the country have proposed bills this year that would lead to either the legalization of marijuana or, at minimum, the decriminalization of marijuana. It's clear that the majority of Americans believe pot to be an acceptable form of recreation and it has been found to be both healthier and safer than cigarettes and alcohol.
The crack down on recreational marijuana at this point in time seems like a very unpopular investment of time for politicians. Time will tell how the Trump administration moves forward on the subject.

WASHINGTON — Soaring advertising costs in early primary states are compelling major "super PACs" to realign their tactics, de-emphasizing costly broadcast commercials in favor of the kind of nuts-and-bolts work that presidential candidates used to handle themselves.
Yet the groups' success or failure could help decide the Republican nomination: Super PACs control the vast majority of the money being spent in the primary, leaving the contenders largely at the mercy of the groups supporting them.
The shift away from TV commercials comes after summer advertising blitzes by groups backing Jeb Bush and Gov. John R. Kasich of Ohio failed to give them much of a lift and exposed an important weakness: While candidates are guaranteed by law access to the lowest unit advertising rates, super PACs must pay whatever the market will bear. There are also more super PACs than ever, each competing for time slots and driving prices higher.
In some parts of Iowa and New Hampshire, super PACs are paying almost nine times what a campaign would pay — largely erasing even the advantage held by a group like Right to Rise, which is supporting Mr. Bush and has raised more than $100 million, when compared with the smaller amounts of hard money raised by individual campaigns.
Keep the Promise I, a well-financed super PAC supporting Senator Ted Cruz of Texas, has run no ads with the exception of a single commercial that appeared repeatedly during the Iowa-Iowa State football game in September.
"Our super PAC resources are ample but not unlimited," said Kellyanne Conway, the group's president. Though Mrs. Conway said Keep the Promise I had produced ads, it has not placed any, opting instead for a ground game, with 10 or more paid staff members in Iowa and in South Carolina.
Indeed, Mr. Cruz's constellation of outside groups has been particularly unruly at times, with occasional public squabbles between the Keep the Promise network and an unaffiliated group, Courageous Conservatives PAC.
The super PAC supporting Carly Fiorina's presidential run, Carly for America, perhaps most wholly replicates a modern presidential campaign. It handles advance work, ground operations, merchandise sales and volunteer lists.
Many super PACs will turn to television soon enough, but even those that have done so already have recognized the need for more than just TV ads.
New Day for America, the super PAC supporting Mr. Kasich, is pursuing a highly advanced ground game in partnership with a data-analytics firm, Applecart: The firm says it mines data sources like yearbooks and local news reports to decipher which people have personally influential relationships with sought-after voters. Rather than giving phone-bank callers or canvassers lists of random people to contact, for example, the organizers are assigning each of those volunteers to reach 10 to 20 New Hampshire voters they know personally and convert them into Kasich supporters.
Right to Rise, the super PAC supporting Mr. Bush, is also starting to pour more money into online messaging, where — unlike on television — its dollars go just as far as the candidate's. All advertisers — campaigns, super PACs, even Frito-Lay — pay the same rates for digital ads.
"With TV getting a bit more crowded, we're looking at frequency," said Sheena Arora, a digital strategist at Revolution Agency who works with Right to Rise — meaning "how many times we're hitting individuals across devices." The group has been creating a wide range of ads aimed at smartphones, tablets and even Xbox gaming systems.
But for most super PACs, it is not a question of whether to do more than television ads — it is a question of exactly what else to try.
Nicholas Confessore contributed reporting from New York.

Wagner all praise for Bangladesh batters
Sun Jan 2, 2022 01:56 PM Last update on: Sun Jan 2, 2022 03:17 PM
New Zealand pacer Neil Wagner reaped the rewards of disciplined bowling with two wickets but Bangladesh dominated the second day of the first Test. Photo: AFP
New Zealand pacer Neil Wagner has praised Bangladesh batters for the composed and gritty effort put in following the end of the second day's play of the first Test at Mount Maunganui on Sunday.
The left-arm quick, who took both wickets as Bangladesh reached 175 for two after dismissing the hosts for 328, said the batsmen showed a lot of resolve in trying conditions.
"Full credit to the Bangladesh batsmen. They played really well. They showed a lot of patience. They showed a bit of fight. It is a tough graft out there. It is just a good days' hard and tough Test cricket," Wagner said at a post-day virtual press conference.
While Bangladesh are missing a number of senior players including Shakib Al Hasan and Tamim Iqbal as well as the now-retired Mahmudullah Riyad, it was Mahmudul Hasan Joy (70*) and Najmul Hossain Shanto (64) who stepped up and took the charge to the opposition. Wagner was impressed with the batting.
"The younger guys today played phenomenally. I thought they played patiently. They didn't really give too many opportunities. They hung in there. They were prepared to dig in. They left the ball quite a lot. It made us ask more questions, and take wickets. It gave them the opportunity to score....I thought when the ball was there to be scored, they scored. They also left well and defended well," Wagner said.
The 35-year-old had proved to be a thorn in the side for Bangladesh in the past few bilateral series as well. While the other frontline pacers such as Tim Southee,Trent Boult and Kyle Jamieson failed to have much impact, Wagner was his usual self – full of heart and effort, sending barrages of bouncers and maintaining a tight line and length.
He got the reward for his perseverance, taking two wickets for 27 runs in 16 overs. However, he felt the New Zealander could not put sustained pressure on the visitors.
"I think we fought really hard, but couldn't really string together enough to create pressure from both ends. Everyone tried really hard but it wasn't to be our day. But it is Test cricket: we have an opportunity tomorrow to fight harder, and get early wickets," Wagner said.


Over the last week we've been awarded some prestigious accolades which Rob and his winemaking team are very stoked about! Winning trophies at the New Zealand International Wine Show, UK People's Choice Awards and the Graham Norton Shiraz named the best value Shiraz in New Zealand.
On Saturday, we attended the NZ International Wine Show Awards (the largest wine competition in NZ with over 2000 entries). Invivo was awarded the Trophy for Champion Pinot Noir, winning with our limited edition special Invivo Central Otago Michelle's Pinot Noir 2016.

'Criminal Minds' Is Losing Its Wednesday Night Spot to Shemar Moore's 'S.W.A.T.'
AND it won't even be back until 2020!
By Jennifer Aldrich
Criminal Minds won't air season 15 until midway through the 2019-2020 TV season.
TV Guide reports the final season will likely premiere in late winter or early spring.
The show's usual time slot on Wednesdays will be taken over by S.W.A.T.
It's a tough time to be a Criminal Minds fan. First, the series broke our hearts after revealing the show is ending in season 15. Now the procedural is adding salt to the wound by announcing that the final episodes won't even air this year.
TV Guide first reported the news that the FBI's behavioral analysis unit was noticeably absent from its usual spot on Wednesday nights. Ironically enough, the time slot will be filled by former Criminal Minds star Shemar Moore's new show, S.W.A.T. Of course, loyal viewers remember Shemar as the hunky Derek Morgan.
It might be an entire year before the BAU graces our small screens again.
There's still no word on the exact premiere date for season 15, but according to the publication "it's likely CBS will run the final 10 episodes in late winter or early spring." With season 14 finishing up back in February, that means viewers might wait a year—or even longer—for new episodes. As for what those sure-to-be thrilling installments will entail, the cast and crew have been careful not to reveal any spoilers.
Criminal Minds isn't the only show that's being held until midseason. Both MacGyver and Man with a Plan are being benched, too. The network is also introducing three new shows in the middle of the TV season: FBI: Most Wanted, Tommy, and Broke, which stars former NCIS actress Pauley Perrette.
The good news? The delayed premiere date allows more time for re-watching old episodes before we have to say goodbye.
Gear Up for the 'Criminal Minds' Finale

What finally did work was copying the url for the download from the download button and creating a link with this url. If that could be added somewhere in the directions it would be fantastic. I'm sure it would save some time for others too.
