Ladner thanks predecessors, staff for small business award
DeWayne Ladner and his DeWitt Insurance Agency staff show off their Small Business of the Year Award. - photo by Photo by Pat Donahue
Now in its 60th year of business, DeWitt Insurance Agency has been named the Effingham County Chamber of Commerce small business of the year.
DeWayne Ladner, the owner and principal, and extended his gratitude to those who founded the firm and the people around him on a daily basis.
"It is a great honor to pick up the torch from a great man, Al DeWitt," he said. "He was a great business leader in this county. He took me under his wing. It does take a lot to start a business. I'm just glad they picked me as a successor. The agency has grown tremendously and it is because of the people around me every day.
"It's a great honor and I'm humbled."
Edgar A. DeWitt Sr. founded the agency in 1956 and his son Al took over in 1978. Al DeWitt died in 1997, and Ladner became the owner and principal on 2002. The agency has quadrupled in since then, and has added offices in Statesboro and in Diamondhead, Miss.
"We have an unbelievable staff, and we are one big family," Ladner said. "It is just great working with them. There are 14 of us, and I don't know what I would do without them. God has been a tremendous blessing to our agency. It's because of Him we are where we are today."
Chamber Executive Director Rick Lott, who presented the award to Ladner, said small business is the backbone of the county.
"At the core, we're here to support local business," he said.
Ivy Eilerman of First Guaranty Mortgage Co. was named the ambassador of the year.
The Chamber marked its 30th year of operation, and outgoing president Yvette Carr said it has been an honor to serve alongside the Chamber staff and board of directors. A survey of Chamber members listed transportation, workforce development and the need for a large meeting venue as the top priorities.
"The Effingham Chamber's strong, continue presence in our community is a testament to the value we have for advancing business and growing our economy," she said, "while also promoting, protecting and preserving our heritage, our quality of life and our environment."
The Chamber will host a business summit Aug. 18 at New Ebenezer Retreat Center, and Georgia Tech will conduct an Industrial Development Authority-sponsored seminar on leadership and organizational effectiveness June 23 at the Effingham College and Career Academy, incoming Chamber president Barbara Prosser said.
Prosser added the Chamber will redefine and repurpose its committees and stress community advancement this year. The Chamber also will reinforce existing membership levels and introduce new levels, along with offering educational programs for business leadership, development and expansion.
"A strong community helps all employers succeed," she said. "We desire to serve you to carry forward the vision of expansion of your business and your services to your customers (and) work collectively with each employer to address significant community challenges and business needs. A strong and effective Chamber is the leader and change agent of collective action.
"We will leave no member behind," Prosser added. "We will take strategic steps to ensure awareness of support and opportunities for CEOs in all aspects of Chamber life. We will promote peer connectivity and advocate for public policy for prosperity and economic development. I look forward to my role with each of you to create more economic prosperity in Effingham County."

Q: Reversed bitmap when creating AVI container I have a list of images in my program, and I am generating an AVI video from them. For that purpose I use avifilewrapper_src library that handles the creation of video.
The process of creating is:
        Bitmap bitmap;
        //load the first image
        bitmap = (Bitmap)imageSequence[0];

        //create a new AVI file
        AviManager aviManager = new AviManager(paths.outputVideo, false);
        //add a new video stream and one frame to the new file
        VideoStream aviStream =
                    aviManager.AddVideoStream(true, (double)nud_picturePerSec.Value, bitmap);

        if(chb_audio.Checked)
            aviManager.AddAudioStream(paths.sampleAudio, 0);

        int count = 0;
        for (int n = 0; n < imageSequence.Count; n++) {
            bitmap = (Bitmap)imageSequence[n];
            aviStream.AddFrame(bitmap);
            bitmap.Dispose();
            count++;
        }

        aviManager.Close();

If I keep giving different images, it works fine. If I however, put two similar images, than the video shows second image upside down (left/right side is correct). By two similar images I mean creating second image and copying it from the first one.
I have a feeling that this is somehow related to streams, but I can't find why the images are inverted.

A: Well I didn't managed to find the cause of that behavior. But fliping it between each use does the correction well.
bitmap.RotateFlip(RotateFlipType.RotateNoneFlipY);

The Swahili people ( Wa-Swahili ) chiefly live along the coastal field of Kenya and Tanzania. While some inhabit the rural countries of this coastal strip, most of them live in the urban countries of Lamu, Malindi, Mombasa, and Dar-es-Salaam. They extend to Zanzibar, Pemba, and Pate Islands. The term Swahili derives from Arabic sahil, " people of the shore " .
Kiswahili, the linguistic communication spoken by these people, has been adopted by 1000000s of other non-Swahili communities in East and Central Africa, every bit good amongst the Islander communities of the Indian Ocean. However, the true Swahili-speaking peoples populating the coastal strip of Kenya and Tanzania could be every bit few as 1.5 million.
These Swahili emerged as a consequence of inter-marriages between the African Bantu and the Arab and Iranian bargainers and immigrants ( the Shirazi ) . The Swahili are both light-skinned and dark, a manifestation of the merger of the Shirazi and the Bantu peoples. The initial country of interaction between these foreigners and the Sabaki-speaking Bantu people is believed to hold taken topographic point during the 9th century at Shugwaya, likely on the northern Kenya 's seashore. After 1000 CE, the Swahili founded and dominated towns that developed into East African metropolis provinces, such as Mombasa, Mogadishu, Brava, Merka, Kilwa, Zanzibar, Pemba, and Mafia. While Arabs and Persians had been frequent visitants to the East seashore, the outgrowth of the above metropolis provinces expanded the commercial and cultural contact between this portion of Africa and the Indian Ocean World, every bit far as China and Indonesia. The Swahili exported coal black, tusk, slaves, copal, and gold, and received glasswork, blades, jewellery, beads, and cotton fabric. Apart from trade, the Swahili were besides craftsmans, fishermen, and husbandmans. The elite owned big estates outside of the metropolis on which slaves produced millet, veggies, and fruits. More frequently than non, nutrient and other trade goods were acquired from non-Muslim communities such as the Mijikenda that lived in the immediate backwoods.
The debut of Islam after 700 CE enriched the Swahili civilization as it became the dominant faith of the community that was expressed in new architectural and literary signifiers such as Swahili poesy. Furthermore, societal stratification increased due to wealth accretion based on trade, every bit good as the pursuit by some households to claim links with the Shirazi. Very few would claim such lineage, thereby exemplifying the extent to which the Swahili are dominantly an African Bantu people. Equally true, a few Swahili claimed Indian heritage from Indians who came to settle and intermarry with Bantu Africans in the East African metropolis provinces. The constitution of Portuguese hegemony over the East Coast for two centuries after 1500 was marked more by Lusitanian commercial development devoid of a cultural revolution, except for few architectural constructions that did non wholly replace the already bing Persian, Arabic, and Islamic architecture. While Christianity did non take root during the Lusitanian period, the abolishment motion and anti-slave trade runs in Eastern and cardinal Africa by Christian missionaries such as David Living Stone opened the manner for the constitution of Christian Missions amongst the Swahili, particularly after about 1870. However, Islam has remained the dominant faith.
Politically, the metropolis provinces were independent of each other and ruled by grand Turks assisted by wazirs ( high functionaries ) . Marriage was a agency to perpetuating societal position, but was besides used by the political elite to spread out and consolidate their power. Islamic jurisprudence, frequently complemented by customary jurisprudence, assured societal order. Following the terminal of the Lusitanian period in the late 17th century, these swayers owed trueness to the Sultan of Oman, an commitment that was transferred to the Sultan of Zanzibar after 1800 CE.
The digesting bequest of the Swahili has been their linguistic communication, Kiswahili. It is a intercrossed Bantu linguistic communication that has borrowed from Arabic, Persian, Portuguese, and Hindi. Most late, English words have besides found their manner into Kiswahili. From Shungwaya, Kiswahili spread into the all the metropolis states that came under Swahili control. Kiswahili talkers were apparent from as far north as Mogadishu in Somalia to Sofala on the seashore of Mozambique in the South. Assorted idioms of Kiswahili evolved in each of the countries settled by the Swahili, but provided a medium of common individuality for the talkers. By 1200 CE, Kiswahili was widely spoken along the East African Coast. Gradually, the linguistic communication was adopted by non-Swahili people on the East Coast such as the Bajuni, Mijikenda, Somali, and Vumba, thereby giving rise to different idioms of the linguistic communication. By the oncoming of colonialism in the late 19th century, the linguistic communication had bit by bit spread into the immediate backwoods and even every bit far as Lakes Tanganyika and Victoria, chiefly by Swahili-Arab bargainers from Zanzibar. The Germans ( and subsequently the British ) in Tanganyika, and the British in Zanzibar and Kenya, adopted Kiswahili as a colonial working linguistic communication widening the geographical range. The usage of Kiswahili in colonial disposal in the Eastern African districts legitimized Swahili claims as to the high quality and non-African beginnings of their linguistic communication. During the colonial period and following independency in Kenya, communities such as the Kikuyu, Luyia, Luo, and Kamba that migrated and settled at the coastal towns particularly Mombasa, adopted Kiswahili as their slang.
After independency in the early 1960s, political leaders in Kenya and Tanzania sought to retrieve the African roots of Swahili civilization and linguistic communication. Kiswahili was peculiarly harnessed as a national linguistic communication in the two states. President Julius Nyerere of Tanzania went a measure further and decreed the usage of Kiswahili as a medium of educational direction in public schools. Kiswahili was besides adopted by authoritiess of these two states to advance national integrating given the cultural diverseness of the new state provinces. Consequently, Kiswahili has become a 2nd linguistic communication to the bulk of people that live in Kenya, Tanzania, every bit good as Uganda. In eastern Democratic Republic Congo, Kiswahili has long been associated with the Wangwana, who are linked to the Arab-Swahili bargainers who ventured into this part for slaves and tusk.
Today, Kiswahili is widely spoken in that portion of Congo, every bit good as in Rwanda and Burundi. Furthermore, African communities in northern Zambia, Malawi, and Mozambique are good acquainted with Kiswahili. Consequently, somewhat over 50 million people in this part speak Kiswahili. Thus, the Swahili community has bequeathed a popular linguistic communication to larger communities in East and Central Africa and the usage of the linguistic communication is bound to spread out beyond parts where it has been adopted. The pan-African usage of Kiswahili became apparent when, at the African Union meeting in July 2004, African leaders adopted Kiswahili as the African working linguistic communication for the Union.

Q: SSIS- ADODB Recordset Error I am getting below error while running my ssis package.

Error: COM error object information is available.  Source: "ADODB.Recordset"  error code: 0x800A0BCD  Description: "Either BOF or EOF is True, or the current record has been deleted. Requested operation requires a current record.".

I am storing a value in an object variable using RecordSetDestination. And I am passing the object variable in 3 ForEachLoop containers and I am trying to run it parallel. If one of the container is passed then the rest of them getting failed.

Below is the same configuraiton in all 3 ForEachLoop's

Any property needs to change or object variable need to rest or we can't use the object variable for parallel exec in ForEach ADO Enumerator.
Need your input here... Thanks

A: The problem is the variable for the recordset.
The first option would be you add three data flows like origins pointing each one to a different variable.
The second is adding a multicast in your initial data flow, with three outputs, each one pointing to a different variable.
Then you go to each Foreach Loop Container and set the respective variable in the Enumerator configurarion section.

A: As Ferdipux proposed, try to run Foreach Loops sequentially. This worked for me.


Do You Need A Local Brunswick Plumber?
This is our go to patch for coffee, so we're never that far away. We've been involved in a lot of commercial and residential fit-outs in the Brunswick area.
We have a lot of experience with the older style properties, and we can save you some time and money by applying that experience.
If your sink is blocked on Albion Street, or you're putting in a new commercial kitchen in Sydney Road, we're your local Brunswick plumbers and would love to help.


QUESTION: Why does it seem like I am always struggling?
The Bible teaches that we all face a life "full of trouble". It has been rightly stated that there are three kinds of people: "those going into the storms of life, those coming out of the storms of life, and those in the middle of the storms of life". Therefore, life is a series of struggles but for the Christian the struggle is different. While it is true we struggle, our struggles have an eternal benefit. Our struggles are more of a transformation. Stated differently: God is using our current struggle to transform us or change us into His character and likeness.

HomeInterview with Winning Screenwriter Luke Penn (THE PERG)
Interview with Winning Screenwriter Luke Penn (THE PERG)
September 2, 2020 September 2, 2020 matthewtoffolo Uncategorized
Matthew Toffolo: What is your screenplay about?
Luke Penn: The Perg is about a fallen angel on an obsessive quest for redemption and an avowed atheist with newly-awakened psychic powers teaming up to battle the forces of Hell in Los Angeles.
2. What genres does your screenplay fall under?
Action-Horror. Similar to the BLADE franchise due to its frenetic pace and dark horror elements.
3. Why should this screenplay be made into a movie?
Honestly, it's the angels and demons story I've always wanted to see (but no one has ever made yet). For as much as I love some of the other angels and demons IP that's out there, I've always wanted an action story that follows the original mythology a little more closely while still being accessible to a mainstream audience. I feel like THE PERG achieves that.
Another reason is because I've depicted demons in a way that's never been done before. Traditionally, demons are usually resolved in their decision to rebel against God and don't seem to fear their pending fate. THE PERG shows demons in a way that makes them relatable. They are looking to escape Judgment Day just like we humans try to escape death. They want to live just like we do, and will stop at nothing to achieve that end.
Action packed.
5. What movie have you seen the most times in your life?
Highlander because there can be only one!
I started THE PERG in October of 2017 and finished the main version in July of 2018. After that it's been minor tweaks here and there as stuff has come up from readers. For the most part, though, I'm working on other projects at this time.
Lets' see… Nine novels, seven features, a bunch of shorts, three pilots, a comic book script, and now bridging into video games. I also write long form articles for Comic Book Resources (CBR), one of the largest comic book news sites on the internet.
8. What is your favorite song? (Or, what song have you listened to the
most times in your life?)
Princes of the Universe by Queen. Those who know, know why.
The toughest part about writing THE PERG was deciding which POV to enter the story. In the original version, we followed the events of the pilot through Orias' eyes. The show was much more of a traditional procedural in nature that way; and while it worked just fine, we didn't get to organically learn as much about the world as we did entering via Sophia's perspective. After much trial, error, and beta test feedback, I decided to go with the latter.
10. Apart from writing, what else are you passionate about?
Comic books! I've been reading and collecting comics for a long time now and absolutely love the medium. It's a blend of both the literary and cinematic, drawing from the strengths of both.
Also, I'm into letterboxing. Basically, scavenger-hunting for rubber stamps hidden throughout the world. Yes, it's a real thing. Yes, it's super fun!
11. You entered your screenplay via Coverfly. What has been your experiences working with the submission platform site?
Coverfly is awesome because it keeps me organized, and is a trusted platform by the community.
12. What influenced you to enter the festival? What were your feelings
on the initial feedback you received?
A friend of mine who won her category had a great experience with WildSound Film Fest. Thought I'd throw my hat in the ring and see what happens. Glad I did.
The feedback I received was sharp, insightful, and made me feel even more confident in the project. Highly recommend this competition!
Watch the Screenplay Reading:
When a skeptical psychologist with dormant psychic abilities finds herself targeted for blood sacrifice by the forces of Hell, her only hope of survival becomes teaming up with the most unlikely person imaginable: a renegade demon on an obsessive quest for redemption.
Narrator: Allison Kampf
Junkie: Bill Poulin

Credit: Satelight/A-1 Pictures
The Fairy Tail franchise is full of gorgeous girls one after another, but Lucy has been the most influential character throughout the series. Originally from a wealthy family, she decided to run away from home and join the Fairy Tail guild; she is the first mage of the guild and later became a member of Team Natsu.
Lucy is completely aware of her feminine charms and takes pride in her looks, but despite the superficial attitude, she's known to be extremely kind and caring. Lucy also treats her celestial spirits with care, unlike other celestial spirit mages who only use them as tools.
It's not difficult to get attached to her. Lucy is passionate about literature and prefers to write novels about her adventures in the Fairy Tail guild. Plus, it's a delight to see Lucy in her dark frilled gown after she uses her Star Dress spell.
2. Saber from Fate/Stay Night
Credit: Studio Deen
Sabre is one of the main female leads of the Fate series, initially being summoned by Kiritsugu Emiya to fight in the fourth great holy war. The Fate series has alternate versions of Sabre, including the classic Sabre, Saber Lily, and Saber Alter.
In many ways, fans have often compared her to Asuna, calling her the superior version of battle expertise, combat skills, and more of an adorable girlfriend when she's resting with Shirou Emiya.
Saber is a determined young woman who speaks through resolution; she is courageous and forced on her goal to win the Holy Grail. Saber doesn't like it when someone treats her differently because of her gender; she would insist that she's a knight and servant first and her gender is of little importance.
3. Misa Amane from Death Note
Misa Amane is the female protagonist of the series and an up-and-coming actress who fell in love with Kira and supports him wholeheartedly. She claims that Kira protected her from a murderer who killed her family, and she will always be grateful to him.
After meeting Light (the Infamous Kira), she immediately fell in love with him. She dedicated her life to helping him no matter what, even going as far as sacrificing half of her lifespan for the Shinigami Eyes only to uncover L's real name.
Misa is a cheerful and outgoing person; due to her popularity as an actress, she attracts a large crowd even when she's at school visiting Light. Misa also seems to have a tsundere side; she says she will kill any other girl who tries to come between them.
4. Kaori Miyazono from Your Lie In April
Credit: A-1 Pictures
Kaori is the fan-favorite girl from 2014 and a very talented violinist whose style of music greatly reflects her personality. Her inspiration for music came from Kousei Arima, she first met Kousei when her junior class went to see a music recital, and she was captivated by the sound of his music.
She came to the same high school as a third-year, where she met Tsubaki Sawabe in the same class. She didn't approach Kousei Arima directly because she understood what he was going through and didn't want to cause him trouble. She asked Tsubaki to introduce her to Kousei Arima, and their friendship began.
Kaori has all the qualities of a wonderful person; she's passionate about what she does. She's independent, unpredictable (in a good way), and slightly short-tempered but also quite considerate.
5. Shiina Mashiro from Pet Girl Of Sakurasou
Credit: J.C.Staff
Shiina Mashiro is an art prodigy and the female protagonist of the series Sakurasou; Mashiro is a world-renowned artist who lives abroad; she transferred to the Suimei University of the Arts as a second-year to learn how to draw manga.
Besides her exceptional talents at drawing, she is extremely reliant on others for her needs; she lacks even the basics of personal care. So the newest member of Sakura Hall, Sorata Kanda, has to take care of her, from washing her clothes to dressing her up for school and making her eat breakfast, which can be quite tiring as we saw Nanami gave-up only after a week of doing her chores.
Despite not being attentive and constantly skipping homework, she has excellent grades because she can memorize the answers by considering them as pictures.
6. Chitoge Kirisaki from Nisekoi
The stereotype of blonde girls taking the lead on a show has continued for a long time; Chitoge Kirisaki is the lead protagonist of the series, she's the daughter of a mafia boss and pretends to date her friend Raku for three years to stop a gang war from breaking out between the families.
Ever since she was a kid, Chitoge had a hard time making friends due to her family status, no one would bother to come close to her, and those who did would soon leave her after experiencing her coldness toward them.
Chitoge has a reputation of being stern and cold, but once you get to know her better, she's very energetic, full of life, and nice; she would go out of her way to help anyone who needs it.
7. Violet Evergarden from Violet Evergarden
Violet Evergarden is a phenomenal character, and watching her progress from a heartless Warmachine to an Auto Memory Doll is one of the best experiences anyone can ever have.
Violet Evergarden is an Auto Memory Doll at CH Postal Company and the protagonist of the series Violet Evergarden, seeking the meaning of the words "I Love You" said to her by Commander Gilbert Bougainvillea before he passed away.
Before joining the CH Postal Company, Violet was a soldier known for her monstrous combat capabilities that earned her the name: "Leidenschaftlich's Soldier Maiden" but she has come a long way from that.
She never understood or expressed her feelings and had trouble putting them into words. Violet is disciplined above all else; she works hard and takes her requests seriously. She learns about her clients and helps them get even better results.
8. Tanya Degurachaff from Saga of Tanya The Evil
Credit: Nut
Tanya is by far the most well-written character in the series Youjo Senki; she was originally living as a male human in an alternate world where his job was to control the budget of companies and let employees go. When he was at a train station waiting for the train to arrive, he was pushed onto the tracks by an unknown entity Tanya referred to as Being X.
After the reincarnation, Tanya kept her memories from the previous life and began plotting her next move immediately after being conscious; her goal is to rise through the military ranks and become a high-ranking commander so she can live an easy life. At the age of just nine, she entered the empire's army and quickly became the second lieutenant.
9. Winry Rockbell from Fullmetal Alchemist

After Edward lost his right arm and left leg, Winry decided to become his mechanic responsible for building his new limbs and accompanying them through their travels. Winry liked Ed as she was always there to support him mechanically and emotionally.
Winry is a wide-eyed cheerful girl who loves nothing more than being a mechanic and surgeon, her love for mechanical repairs comes from her family. She's a real hard worker and always ready to help whenever she's needed. Because of her crazy love for mechanics, Edward often calls her "crazy gearhead."

Riza is a sharpshooter and known for never missing her mark; she is skilled in using a bolt-action assault rifle, a sniper rifle, and even two handguns.
Riza has a calm demeanor and always sticks to a serious and collected mood; her peers look at her as a reliable soldier, she always works hard at her job, lifting the entire department on her shoulders.
11. Kotobuki Tsumugi from K-On!
As a pianist of the After School Tea Time, Tsumugaki is responsible for setting the tone of the music to which the group performs. She's a cheery, wealthy, and cute girl with a wonderful personality; she's always enthusiastic about the idea of experiencing new things such as ordering fast food, eating yakisoba, or even going to festivals.
Ever since Mugi was a kid, she was considered a piano prodigy who won various piano recital contents all around Japan. But she wants to deviate from her wealthy nature and live her life as she sees fit; she even took a part-time to be more responsible.
There are many good qualities about her, like her sweet and gentle personality, how she would often bring tea and sweets for her friends, and her physical strength throughout the show.
12. Shinobu Oshino from Bakemonogatari
This list would be incomplete without including the blonde vampire girl, and it's a huge plus that she can even turn herself into a loli from time to time. She can turn herself into four different forms, including the loli, teen, and the infamous Kiss-shot during the Kizumonogatari Trilogy.
She may seem like an innocent eight-year-old girl, but she's a vampire who has lived for over 500 years; Shinobu has a bright personality (especially with Koyomi) and loves to talk, often asserting her superiority through her speech.
Even though she argues with Koyomi, she loves him and would get jealous if Koyomi spends time with another girl.

Credit: Wit Studio
Annie Leonhart (Female Titan) is the minor antagonist of the series Attack on Titan and a member of the 10th cadet corp. She has exceptional combat skills with a sword or unarmed; she was ranked 4th overall standing. Annie was a member of the Warrior Unit, sent by the Marley Military to take the Founding Titan and kill the people living inside those walls.
After infiltrating the walls, she decided to join the military police so she could investigate the king and find the current holder of the Founding Titan, but all of this was in vain because she couldn't find any trace of the royal family.
Annie is shown to be a lone wolf who prefers to work alone and struggles when working alongside someone. Annie is shown to be calm; she is highly intelligent and can make quick decisions based on the situation.
14. Alice Zuberg from Sword Art Online
Alice Zuberg is the female protagonist of the Sword Art Online: Alicization Arc and the major plot point of the entire Arc.

Alice was the daughter of a village's elder and childhood friend of Kirito and Eugeo; once trying to find the legendary sword of a hero, they stumble into a Goblin trap, and while trying to escape their life, Alice steps into the Dark Territory, breaking the rules of the Taboo Index.
Alice is shown as a true knight who never backs down from a fight; her determination is nothing to be laughed at. But more than blindly following orders, she wants to protect the people of the nation, so after discovering that the queen never cared for anyone but herself, she decided to fight against her.
15. Darkness (Lalatina) from KonoSuba!
Darkness, more commonly teased as Lalatina, is the princess of a highly respected house of nobles, labeled as the Shield of the Kingdom. As the daughter of a noble family, she constantly receives marriage proposals from neighboring nobles, but she declines them because she wants to become an adventurer; she would often run away from the kingdom to Axel (City of adventurers) and look for companions.
Darkness meets Kazuma and his party, desperately looking for a "Crusader" class adventure who can tank the damage. Seeing her opportunity, Darkness decides to join them, soon becoming a permanent member of the group, and they go on many wonderful adventures.
There is a reason why nobody is willing to take Darkness into their party, and it's because of her masochistic tendencies; she would deliberately put herself in harm's way just for the pleasure of it. Her masochist side extends to being verbally abused; she takes pleasure when Kazuma insults her.

Umaru Doma, more commonly known as Umaru-chan, is the protagonist of the series, her most common trait is her ability to switch between two modes. One of them is the outdoor mode in which Umaru is the ideal student and a perfect teenage girl around town; her grades are exceptionally good, she is confident in her skills and always rushing to help those in need, everyone wants to be her friend.
And then there is the indoor mode in which Umaru turns into a toddler who lays on a comfy pillow all day watching anime Jump on TV, dressed in a hamster hoodie and eating bamboo shoots. Umaru doesn't do anything but relax when she's in her indoor form, which is often referred to as "hamster form" by her older brother Taihei Doma.
17. Tohru from Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid
Tohru is the deuteragonist of the series, though she is considered the protagonist because most anime revolves around her. Tohru is a dragon of the chaos faction with the ability to transform into a human girl.
After a gruesome fight against the gods in the dragon realm, Tohru decides to take shelter in the human realm, where she is rescued by Kobayashi and starts her new life as a maid.
The series has taught us that dragons in the Chaos Faction hated humans, and while Tohru is also from the Chaos Faction, she didn't approve of this senseless hatred. After meeting Kobayashi, Tohru realized how cheerful and kind humans are and lived in peace.
As a maid, Tohru is a hard worker, and she tries her best to make Kobayashi happy, do daily chores around the apartment, and cook delicious meals.

Absorption (electromagnetic radiation) | Article about Absorption (electromagnetic radiation) by The Free Dictionary
https://encyclopedia2.thefreedictionary.com/Absorption+(electromagnetic+radiation)
Absorption of electromagnetic radiation
(redirected from Absorption (electromagnetic radiation))
The process whereby the intensity of a beam of electromagnetic radiation is attenuated in passing through a material medium by conversion of the energy of the radiation to an equivalent amount of energy appearing within the medium; the radiant energy is converted into heat or some other form of molecular energy. A perfectly transparent medium permits the passage of a beam of radiation without any change in intensity other than that caused by the spread or convergence of the beam, and the total radiant energy emergent from such a medium equals that which entered it, whereas the emergent energy from an absorbing medium is less than that which enters, and, in the case of highly opaque media, is reduced practically to zero. No known medium is opaque to all wavelengths of the electromagnetic spectrum; similarly, no material medium is transparent to the whole electromagnetic spectrum. A medium which absorbs a relatively wide range of wavelengths is said to exhibit general absorption, while a medium which absorbs only restricted wavelength regions of no great range exhibits selective absorption for those particular spectral regions. For example, ordinary window glass is transparent to visible light, but shows general absorption for ultraviolet radiation of wavelengths below about 310 nanometers, while colored glasses show selective absorption for specific regions of the visible spectrum. The color of objects which are not self-luminous and which are seen by light reflected or transmitted by the object is usually the result of selective absorption of portions of the visible spectrum. See Color, Electromagnetic radiation
The capacity of a medium to absorb radiation depends on a number of factors, mainly the electronic and nuclear constitution of the atoms and molecules of the medium, the wavelength of the radiation, the thickness of the absorbing layer, and the variables which determine the state of the medium, of which the most important are the temperature and the concentration of the absorbing agent. In special cases, absorption may be influenced by electric or magnetic fields. The state of polarization of the radiation influences the absorption of media containing certain oriented structures, such as crystals of other than cubic symmetry. See Stark effect, Zeeman effect
Lambert's law, also called Bouguer's law or the Lambert-Bouguer law, expresses the effect of the thickness of the absorbing medium on the absorption. If I is the intensity to which a monochromatic parallel beam is attenuated after traversing a thickness d of the medium, and I0 is the intensity of the beam at the surface of incidence (corrected for loss by reflection from this surface), the variation of intensity throughout the medium is expressed by Eq. (1), in which α
is a constant for the medium called the absorption coefficient. This exponential relation can be expressed in an equivalent logarithmic form as in
Eq. (2), where is called the extinction coefficient for radiation of the wavelength considered. The quantity is often called the optical density, or the absorbance of the medium.
Beer's law refers to the effect of the concentration of the absorbing medium, that is, the mass of absorbing material per unit of volume, on the absorption. This relation is of prime importance in describing the absorption of solutions of an absorbing solute, since the solute's concentration may be varied over wide limits, or the absorption of gases, the concentration of which depends on the pressure. The effects of thickness d and concentration c on absorption of monochromatic radiation can be combined in a single mathematical expression, given in Eq. (3), in
which k′ is a constant for a given absorbing substance (at constant wavelength and temperature), independent of the actual concentration of solute in the solution. In logarithms, the relation becomes Eq. (4).
The values of the constants k′ and ε in Eqs. (3) and (4) depend on the units of concentration. If the concentration of the solute is expressed in moles per liter, the constant ε is called the molar extinction coefficient. Some authors employ the symbol aM, which is called the molar absorbance index, instead of ε.
If Beer's law is adhered to, the molar extinction coefficient does not depend on the concentration of the absorbing solute, but usually changes with the wavelength of the radiation, with the temperature of the solution, and with the solvent.
Absorption of radiation by matter always involves the loss of energy by the radiation and a corresponding gain in energy by the atoms or molecules of the medium. The energy absorbed from radiation appears as increased internal energy, or in increased vibrational and rotational energy of the atoms and molecules of the absorbing medium. As a general rule, translational energy is not directly increased by absorption of radiation, although it may be indirectly increased by degradation of electronic energy or by conversion of rotational or vibrational energy to that of translation by intermolecular collisions.
The energy acquired by matter by absorption of visible or ultraviolet radiation, although primarily used to excite electrons to higher energy states, usually ultimately appears as increased kinetic energy of the molecules, that is, as heat. It may, however, under special circumstances, be reemitted as electromagnetic radiation. Fluorescence is the reemission, as radiant energy, of absorbed radiant energy, normally at wavelengths the same as or longer than those absorbed. The radiant reemission of absorbed radiant energy at wavelengths longer than those absorbed, for a readily observable interval after withdrawal of the exciting radiation, is called phosphorescence. Phosphorescence and fluorescence are special cases of luminescence, which is defined as light emission that cannot be attributed merely to the temperature of the emitting body.

A welcoming Catholic community based in faith, education, history and caring for others
Immaculate Conception (St Mary) Parish is a Roman Catholic parish located in Burlington, Wisconsin and is part of the of the Archdiocese of Milwaukee. Our faith, commitment, history, and continued education are all very important parts of this parish. The earliest record of mass being said in this community was in 1838. By 1845 the first Catholic church, St Sebastian, was built. The community quickly outgrew this first church and it was replaced by a cobblestone church in 1859. In 1891, the third (and current) church was built, though it was almost completely lost in a fire in 1977. The church was restored to much of its original beauty and was rededicated in 1979.
Besides building numerous churches over the years, the parish also founded St Mary Preschool (1991), St Mary Grade School (1860), and St Mary High School (1924). The high school is now called Catholic Central High School and is run as a joint effort of many area parishes. Through a period of almost 120 years, approximately 350 School Sisters of Notre Dame taught in our schools. Though they are no longer with us, we are forever grateful for them helping build our schools and parish. Thanks also to the many dedicated and caring individuals that continue to make our schools strong in numbers and rich in faith.
Our parish also recognizes and supports the need for religious education of everyone. The parish provides religious education for school age children, for adults, and for those with special needs. Immaculate Conception Parish also recognizes the need to: assist those that are homebound and sick; assist those in our community by supporting local charities such as Love Inc. and TLC; and to help support those abroad including a sister parish in Uganda, Africa.
Please join us for mass. If you are a member, or are thinking about joining our parish, consider enrolling in our education programs and challenge yourself to become an active member of our parish community.

Especially at the holidays, if I am asked to offer a blessing before a special meal, I feel called to share these words from the person of the Divine Mother I called Gaia in my poetry.
As we give gratitude for the bounty of our tables, may we also say a prayer for those who have suffered great loss of home, family, cherished animals. In these episodes of heartbreak, I do believe the veil between our worlds thins. May we all live long enough to see the Here and Over There come together in days of peace & joy.
and heart to any world that calls to you.
as elements of your True Self.
and gifts of perfect healing for all time.
between the Here and Over There.

Lovely, Cheryl. So fitting for Thanksgiving and the holiday season.

The Language of Bio Energetics
Bio-Energetic Synchronization Technique (B.E.S.T.), developed by Dr. M.T. Morter, Jr., is a non-forceful, energy balancing, hands-on procedure used to help reestablish the full healing potential of the body. B.E.S.T. is widely used by health care practitioners all over the world who practice mind/body healing and recognize that the body is more than the sum of its parts. It is a system of health care that is state of the art in balancing body, mind, memory and spirit energy fields, and enhancing the flow of that energy throughout the entire system. It is a whole-body healing technique.
The body reveals short-circuited neurological patterns as a result of unresolved subconscious emotional issues, affecting all systems required for health and wholeness. Those patterns can be demonstrated as tight muscles, dysfunctional organs or glands, emotional stress or depression type reactions.
Experiences With B.E.S.T.
By accessing areas of the brain through a pressure point type therapy, that is, touching certain points around the head and body in a specific sequence, while having you think about certain memory stresses, the body begins to reconnect the circuitry with the brain.
Clinical experience has shown that by stimulating these specific pressure points as part of the B.E.S.T. procedure, your body can not only begin to feel better, but will actually begin to repair and rebuild. By taking this approach, you are taking steps to learn to maintain this balance in the days, weeks and months that follow.
The body is electromagnetic in nature. Both electrical fields and magnetic fields affect it. Bio-Energetic work utilizes one or both of these types of energy for healing purposes. This work is done with hands only when applied by a practitioner, and does not require the use of instruments of any kind. When used as a self-healing technique, breath work and mental focus training are used to remove blockages from the nervous system and subconscious memory storage.
Bio Energetic Synchronization Technique (B.E.S.T.) creates a natural balancing of nerve function and communication between the Conscious and Subconscious divisions of the Central Nervous System. It is a gentle, painless, non-force methodology of treatment for many types of conditions that often are treated with medications and surgeries. It addresses the cause instead of the symptoms exhibited in the individual. B.E.S.T. allows for healing without the use of drugs, surgery or other techniques with side effects. It corrects nervous system function, which could be contributing to other mental, emotional or physical health conditions that have not yet become symptomatic, preventing the onset altogether.

Q: Can't compile trait using gmavenplus plugin I have a trait:

}

And I have a class:
class EmailSender implements AbstractSender{

I try to compile it using gmavenplus plugin:
<plugin>

                </dependencies>
                </plugin>

and get compile exception:
EmailSender is not abstract and does not override abstract method sentTrigger in AbstractSender
method sentTrigger is implemented. Generated java code looks this way:
@groovy.transform.Trait() public interface AbstractSender
 {
;
 SentTrigger sendMail(Mail mail);
 sentTrigger sentTrigger(Mail mail);
}

Which does explain compilation error. What do I do wrong with gmavenplus plugin?

A: It's not a GMavenPlus configuration issue.  You can put this in your GroovyConsole to demonstrate this
trait AbstractSender {
  abstract SentTrigger send(Mail main)

  SentTrigger sentTrigger(Mail mail) { }
}

class EmailSender implements AbstractSender{
  @Override
  SentTrigger sendMail(Mail mail) { }
}

class Mail { }
class SentTrigger { }

new  EmailSender()

The error message you're seeing is correct.  EmailSender only implements sendMail(), not send().  If you rename sendMail() to send(), it should compile correctly.

The Final Four March Into April!
The March Madness Final Four will take the court this Saturday, April 6th , in hopes of making it to the finals and winning a championship!
Daniel Toll
Daniel Toll, Sports Editor
Since its debut in 1939 as the first National Collegiate Athletic Association's (NCAA) men's basketball tournament, March Madness has grown to be one of the most anticipated, exciting, and nerve-wracking sporting events of the year. Hosting 68 teams, March Madness is a single-elimination tournament in which teams, if eligible, compete in seven rounds of play for a national championship. While the event in its entirety has become nationally viewed, the penultimate round known as the Final Four is where the "madness" factor of the tournament finds its roots.
With the increasing popularity of fantasy sports over time, several sports fans have partaken in bracket drafting for the tournament, hoping to takeaway large amounts of prize money with a potentially perfect bracket. This year, to the demise of several fantasy sports drafters, the March Madness Final Four features teams that roughly 0.04% of ESPN brackets predicted, allowing for an interestingly unexpected semifinal to say the least. In this year's Final Four, the University of Virginia will be taking on the University of Auburn, and Texas Tech will be battling Michigan State on Saturday, April 6th at 6:09 P.M and 8:39 P.M respectively. Below is a brief preview of the two Final Four match-ups with analytical insight into what each team needs to advance to the finals.
University of Virginia vs University of Auburn
The University of Virginia Cavaliers in the regular season put up tremendous records, only trailing the fan-favorite Duke Blue Devils in the Advanced Press power ranking for college basketball, whereas the Auburn Tigers were ranked at number 14, sporting a 30-9 record capitalized by a 12-game win streak. Despite being lower in the power rankings, Auburn has been one of the more impressive teams of the season, having defeated powerhouse teams like Tennessee, North Carolina, Kansas, and Kentucky.
"I think Virginia should win because they hold their opponents to one of the lowest average game scores and field goals throughout the tournament and, since they don't necessarily have an NBA prospect, they play a team-led game," freshman Anthony Russo said.
In their upcoming clash, fans can expect an array of shots to be taken from beyond the arc, especially from Auburn, whose reliance on the three-pointer is evident in that nearly 50% of their shots are taken and scored from the three-point line. While Virginia will not be as dependent on the three, they do showcase eighth best three-point percentage out of all college teams in the country. In a game that looks to be dominated by long-range shooting the Virginia Cavaliers will need Kyle Guy, Ty Jerome, and De'Andre Hunter to be on their A-game, and Auburn will rely on Bryce Brown and Jared Harper, two three-point sharpshooters shooting 37% from distance.
While Auburn's recent success cannot be undermined by any means, it will certainly be interesting to see how they adapt to the loss of star player Chuma Okeke, who tore his ACL in the Elite Eight game against Kentucky, proving to be a tremendous loss for the Auburn frontcourt. Despite this, the game figures to be one that will be dominated by man-to-man matchups and will certainly be a high-scoring game.
"UVA can definitely take Auburn this coming Saturday and land themselves in the championship game. They've been on a winning streak and I can see them winning the title," junior Julianna Goldfarb said.
Texas Tech vs Mississippi State
The later game of the Final Four will feature one of the premier lock-down defensive teams of the country in the Texas Tech Red Raiders, who, in their Elite Eight victory held opposing scorers to 0.97 points per possession. Placed at ninth overall in the power rankings, their defense has certainly carried the way for them throughout the course of the regular season and March Madness, and they can render any offensive team powerless and ineffective.
Their opponent, Michigan State, is considered to be one of the more balanced teams in the country and was placed just above Texas Tech at eighth overall in the power rankings. Their overall skills proved to be critical in their Elite Eight game against Duke, placing them on a national spotlight as Duke was a favorite to win the tournament. After their victory, the Michigan State Spartans moved up to fifth on offensive efficiency and eight on defensive efficiency, making them one of two teams to be a top 10 team on both ends of the floor. The other, being Virginia, could be a potential competitor for Michigan State in the championship if they were to be victorious over Texas Tech.
While the feats have come in bunches this season for Michigan, the most impressive aspect of their season has been their ability to produce without two of their starters, Nick Ward and Joshua Langford, due to injury. However, the emergence of Cassius Winston as a Big Ten Player of the Year and Xavier Tillman's offensive contributions of 15.3 points and 8 rebounds per game has given Michigan much-needed offensive help during the regular season and into March Madness. In a game with two equally matched teams, the defensive potency of Texas Tech should prove to be a formidable opponent for Michigan State.
The Final Four games will surely be an exciting event for the best remaining teams in the country and their legions of followers and fans. While the matchups were far from expected, each team has proven to be exceptional in a variety of ways and each could be an eventual champion. Be sure to tune in to the March Madness Final Four this Saturday on the CBS channel, or livestream the games on NCAA.com!

Q: Capture audio in zalenium How to capture audio along with video in zalenium.The commands on github of zalenium(link) only capture video.
Thanks

A: Zalenium uses VNC, which so far does not support audio, some additional things would need to be done like adding pulseaudio and another layer on top to put video and audio together.
So, the short answer is: it is not possible.

Museum of the Order of St. John
St. John's Ln., St. John's Gate, London, England EC1M 4DA, United Kingdom
Consisting of two sites in Clerkenwell, the Museum of the Order of St. John tells the centuries-old story of the order, first established in Jerusalem during the Crusades. The history lesson begins at St John's Gate, which was built in 1504 as an entrance to the Priory of the Knights of St. John and now houses a collection of paintings, furniture, armor, rare manuscripts, and books relating to the knights. Across from the gate, the Priory Church of St. John and its 12th-century crypt contain exhibits on the history of the order and an interactive display on St. John's Ambulance.

UN Secretary-General António Guterres urges donors to "step up to the plate," as Jim Yong Kim says World Bank stands in solidarity with refugees.
UN High Commissioner for Refugees Filippo Grandi, World Bank Group President Jim Yong Kim, UN Secretary-General António Guterres and UNFPA Executive Director Natalia Kanem visit a UNFPA women-friendly space at Kutupalong refugee settlement, Bangladesh.
The international community must do more to support nearly one million Rohingya refugees living in "heartbreaking" conditions in Bangladesh, the UN chief said today.
UN Secretary-General António Guterres made the appeal during a visit to the world's largest refugee site, a vast settlement in southeast Bangladesh near the Myanmar border. Accompanying him under driving monsoon rains was World Bank Group President Jim Yong Kim.
"My appeal to the international community is to step up to the plate and to substantially increase the financial support to all those who are in Bangladesh to protect … assist and support the Rohingya refugees," Guterres told reporters at a news conference.
He and Kim are at the end of a two-day visit to Bangladesh to garner more support for refugees and their hosts. They were joined on the trip by UN High Commissioner for Refugees Filippo Grandi and UNFPA Executive Director Natalia Kanem.
The Secretary-General said more funds are urgently needed as a key US$950 million humanitarian aid plan remains just 26 per cent funded. The shortfall is worsening conditions for hundreds of thousands of refugees living in fragile conditions since fleeing a military crackdown in Myanmar last August.
The high-level delegation met with Rohingya refugees during a tour of the sprawling settlement, which is now is home to more than 700,000 women, men and children. Many have reported widespread killings and abuses in Myanmar in recent months.
The delegation had previously held bilateral meetings with authorities in Dhaka, including with Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina Wazed, to open discussions on the medium-term support needed by the refugees and the communities hosting them.
The Secretary-General thanked the Bangladeshi government and people for keeping their borders open and providing basic support to refugees at a time when other countries around the world had closed frontiers.
The visit came days after an announcement by the World Bank of half-a-billion US dollars in grant-based support to help Bangladesh address the needs of the refugees and their hosts in areas including health, education, water and sanitation.
"We are just getting started, but we as the World Bank Group are committed to doing more and more to make sure that the Rohingya … get some justice," he added.
In a four-hour tour of the settlement, the delegation also visited a newly leveled area where hundreds of refugees had been relocated to some 400 sturdy, bamboo-framed homes, served by water pumps and latrine blocks.
They also visited a primary health centre funded by IOM, and met with women and girl refugees at a UNFPA women-friendly space. At a transit centre that currently receives around 50 new arrivals a week, they met refugees who reported ongoing violence in Myanmar.
Eighteen-year-old Hamida Begum, who fled her home in northern Rakhine state last week, told the delegation she witnessed an eight-year-old girl raped and killed by five soldiers, and had herself been attacked by troops.
Bus driver Ruhul Amin, 21, who sought safety in Bangladesh in late June, said Myanmar troops had placed ever-tighter restrictions on villagers who remained in their homes.
"We can't move freely, we can't work, and the army took our land for a military post … Life is impossible there," he said.
The Rohingya are a stateless Muslim minority who have endured decades of repression and social exclusion. Current conditions in Myanmar do not allow for a safe and dignified return for refugees. UNHCR and UNDP recently agreed with the Government of Myanmar to begin creating those conditions and preserve the right of Rohingya refugees to return if they decide to do so.
The UN only supports the return of refugees when it is voluntary and when the conditions are in place for a sustainable life. Amin told Guterres he hopes to return, but only with clear guarantees.

Film Nation in Focus 2021: Finland
Film fest main location, Filmpalast Capitol
Finland was Country in Focus at 30th FILMKUNSTFEST Mecklenburg-West Pomerania
Opening night with Mika Kaurismäki's latest movie "Gracious Night"
Current feature films, documentaries and short films from this year's guest country Finland will be presented during the festival from August 31st - September 5th, 2021
The latest feature film by Finnish director Mika Kaurismäki, "Gracious Night", opened the 30th FILMKUNSTFEST Mecklenburg-Western Pommerania as the German premiere on the 31st of August in the state capital Schwerin and thus set the starting point for an extensive programme from guest country 2021, Finland.
Mika Kaurismäkipresented the feature film to the local audience at the festival cinema Filmpalast Capitol personally. Finland's Ambassador to Germany, Anne Sipiläinen, and the Minister President of Mecklenburg- Western Pommerania, Manuela Schwesig and German actor Ulrich Tukur ("Amen!") with his "Rhythmus Boys" were also guests of the opning ceremony.

In "Gracious Night" (original title: "Yö Armahtaa"), Mika Kaurismäki tells the story of three people who, in search of conviviality during the lockdown, find themselves in a pub in the Finnish capital Helsinki. Not only because of the conversations, but also because of other unexpected guests, the evening becomes longer than expected. Once again, Mika Kaurismäki proves his aptitude for current topics and atmosphere with "Gracious Night".
Mika and his brother Aki Kaurismäki have virtually embodied contemporary Finnish film since the 1980s. "Gracious Night" was filmed in the pub that the brothers run in Helsinki: the "Corona Bar"! The film distributer Arsenal will release the film in Germany on the 16th of December.
With a series of unusual short and feature films, Mika Kaurismäki gained a reputation as a versatile auteur of world cinema. Such films are the thriller "Helsinki-Napoli - All Night Long" from 1988 or the road movie "Honey Baby" from 2004, but above all with numerous music documentaries, some of which he shot in his adopted country Brazil (such as "Brasileirinho", 2005).
Other current Finnish feature films in the programme of the 30th FILMKUNSTFEST MV are the generational portrait "Games people play" by director Jenni Toivoniemi. Topic is the reunion of eight childhood friends that is thrown off balance and rivalries, tensions and old scores come to the fore.

Furthermore, the tragicomedy "Forrest Giant" by director Ville Jankeri will be screened during the festival. It is about the upwardly mobile Pasi, who has started a hopeful career in an international timber company and is to make dismissals in the factory in his home village. The drama "The Last Ones" by Estonian director Veiko Öunpuu casts a critical spotlight on the life of the Finnish Lapland minority in the villages of the tundra. On the radar is also the conflict-ridden relationship between reindeer herders and mine workers under harsh working conditions.
The Finnish-Swedish creator of the world-famous cartoon characters, the Mummins, who still enjoy great popularity today, is featured in director Zaida Bergroth's film. The captivating artist drama "Tove" tells the story of the unusual life of children's book illustrator Tove Jansson (1914-2001). (German distributer: Salzgeber)
"Nature Symphony" © MRP Matila Röhr Productions
The documentary "Nature Symphony" by the award-winning nature filmmaker Marko Röhr focuses entirely on impressive images of the fascinating Finnish flora and fauna and is presented as an open-air screening in the courtyard of Schwerin Castle. The nature film, accompanied by symphonic music, will be introduced by the director himself and by Ilias Missyris, the director of the Vaasa Wildlife Festival, which takes place in Schwerin's Finnish twin city Vaasa.
For the first time in Germany, two English-subtitled episodes of the highly acclaimed Finnish television series "Peacemaker" by director Aj Annila ("The Eternal Road") are presented. The thriller, which is set against the backdrop of the Kurdish conflict in the web of global politics and the arms trade, is fast-paced and exciting and proves impressively that TV series can be produced in Finland at a high international level. The film was also shot in Southwest Finland, Mecklenburg-Western Pommerania's partner region, and representatives of the local Film Commission are expected in Schwerin.
The director of the renowned international short film festival in Tampere, Finland, Jukka-Pekka Laakso, has put together a special short film programme for the FILMKUNSTFEST MV with six very different contributions, which completes the cross-section of filmmaking from this year's guest country.
Numerous filmmakers from Finland are expected to attend the screenings.
The artistic director of the FILMKUNSTFEST MV, Volker Kufahl, emphasises: "Finnish cinema is vital, diverse and lives from its strong stories. In selecting current productions, it was important to us to emphasise the cultural connections between our guest country and Mecklenburg-Western Pommerania, which are based on city and regional partnerships, among other things."
