Kids go through growth spurts often. Sometimes you can buy that cute outfit and it won't fit your child the next month- or you find something they wore once or twice last season in their closet and you have no use for it now. I am a fan of consignment stores. I am even more of a fan of online consignment stores! Nothing beats getting to buy things in the comfort of your own home! Kindermint carries over 650 brands, including Gymboree, DKNY, Janie & Jack, Oilily, Juicy Couture, Ralph Lauren, and many more.

Recently, Kindermint asked me if I would like to review their service! I was stoked. I received $50 credit and free shipping toward my review. What I didn't know is how much I was able to purchase for so little!
My daughter Lydia will be 8 this September. She is growing like a weed and has hit that part where she is going through clothes like crazy because of her growth spurts! I was excited when I received my package. They came packed neatly packed separately in their own plastic. I washed and Lydia did a fashion show for me. I was stoked that for only $49.89 I scored- 8 brand name shirts, a pair of shorts, a dress and a pair of Capri's!
The capris you see are a size 8, they are Old Navy brand and retail for $14.94 but were purchase in brand new condition for $4.49. The adorable shirt is Hello Kitty Brand and retails for $20 but was purchase for $5.49.

IMBEL .308 AGLC (Fz .308 AGLC)
The Brazilian IMBEL .308 AGLC is a very conventional military sniper rifle system based on the successful German Mauser action.
Manufacturer(s): IMBEL - Brazil
Roles: Long-Range Precision;
Action: Manually-Actuated Bolt-Action
Caliber(s): 7.62x51mm NATO
Sights: Various Optics
Weight (Unloaded): 10.36 lb (4.70 kg)
Operators: Brazil
The Brazilian Army makes use of an indigenous bolt-action sniper rifle design by IMBEL as the "Rifle .308 AGLC IMBEL" or "Fz .308 AGLC". The weapon is based on the proven German Mauser action which appeared in the latter half of the 1800s was copied by a plethora of designs since. The action involves a management of the bolt via a handle to clear a spent shell casing from the weapon and introduce a fresh cartridge from the awaiting box magazine. The action is contained in a polymer body for a lightweight, though durable, battlefield approach. The barrel is free-floating in its installation which lends itself well to accuracy at range with no visible muzzle brake. The pistol grip is ergonomically-shaped and integrated into the body while connecting the shoulder stock to the design. The weapon can make use of an adjustable, folding bipod affixed under the forend for support when firing. Customer-specific optics are set across the top of the receiver in the usual way, allowing for magnified/illuminated vision based on operator needs.
As with most Western weapons of this class, the Brazilian AGLC is chambered for the widely-accepted 7.62x51mm NATO standard rifle cartridge. It fires from a 5-round magazine.
• .308 AGLC - Base Series Designation

NR - Not rated. This movie has not been rated by the MPAA.
Parents need to know that while there's no sex or bad language in this film, you do see a character jump out the window to her death and many characters pull guns on one another. There's also a considerable amount of underhanded behavior. For instance, Walter has Bruce arrested twice, gives him counterfeit money, and plans to rig the election with biased reporting.
Some gazing into eyes, but that's it.
A surprising amount of violence, including a woman jumping from a window. We see her face-down on the pavement below. Gunshots are aimed at a press room. Many characters aim guns at one another. Characters threaten to hurt one another, saying things like "I'm going to kick you in the teeth."
A lot of underhanded behavior, including lying, passing counterfeit money, stealing, gambling, bribery, and conniving. There's also considerable sexism: When a woman walks into the newsroom, one of the reporters says, "Take off your shirt." On the plus side, Hildy is a strong female role model, showing tenacity, brains, and compassion.
Everyone smokes cigarettes and Hildy and Walter take their coffee with rum.

You've spent hours fussing over your lawn this summer, watering, weeding, feeding and aerating at just the right time to make sure the grass was lush and healthy. Don't stop now and start neglecting your lawn when it needs you the most. Proper winter preparation gives your lawn and outdoor spaces the perfect boost to get them through the winter safely so they are ready to go when the spring growing season returns.
Although your grass will need mowed much less often as winter approaches, don't stop mowing altogether until fall has passed. Set your mower on its lowest setting to keep the grass short and prevent matting, as this will stay on your lawn all winter and stifle spring growth.
Your grass is going to need access to soil nutrients quickly when the growing season begins, so fertilize in late fall with a high phosphorous fertilizer. The phosphorous will encourage strong root growth and help keep things under the soil as they need to be so your grass can start flourishing as soon as the weather breaks.
Falling leaves create a layer of cover over your grass that prevents it from receiving both sunlight and air. Rake leaves up religiously, getting them as soon as you can after they fall. Allowing leaves to sit on your lawn all winter will reveal unattractive dead spots come next spring.
As fall weather sets in and your plants start to die back, make sure you clean out your flower beds. Rake leaves and old mulch out of them and pull any weeds that have crept in during the course of the summer. Pull out dying annuals and cut back perennials that need a trim. Apply a granular pre-emergent weed control product to keep fall weeds from creeping in and spring weeds from taking an early hold.
Great outdoor spaces are about more than just grass. Stop by a store like Design Furnishings for outdoor storage solutions and furniture covers that will keep you porch and patio furniture in excellent condition and ready for next year. Proper winter protection and storage of your favorite outdoor furniture will keep it looking great and feeling comfortable year after year.
A little bit of time and care in the fall will help your lawn over the winter so it can look its best when spring comes. The more work you do now, the less overwhelming the lawn chores of spring will be later.

Q: Is there any physical meaning to the arclength of a position/time graph? Does it mean anything physically relevant if you take the arclength of a position time graph or a velocity time graph? Does it actually tell you the total position traveled along the entire curve, or is it some completely arcane result that has no meaning, like the integral of a position/time graph ?
For instance, the theory of relativity uses arc-length for worldlines to calculate proper time, but what is an arclength operator doing on any distance/time interval that accounts not only for worldlines, but for other physical interpretations as well?

A: It doesn't mean anything, because the axes have different units, so the computation of arc length doesn't make sense. The arc length would be $\sqrt{\Delta x^2+\Delta t^2}$, but the two terms have different units, so you can't add them.

A: One must specify a metric to measure an arc-length.
If you use the Galilean metric, $$ds^2=dt^2$$, to measure the arc-length, then you have the Galilean proper time along that worldline. So, when various worldlines start at event A and end at event B, you find that all worldline segments from A to B have the same Galilean proper time. This is "absolute time."
(For special relativity, you of course use a different metric, e.g. $$ds^2=dt^2-(dx/c)^2$$, to get the special-relativistic proper time.... which then displays the clock effect.)

Dimensionally Scaled Miscible Displacements in Heterogeneous Permeable Media
Ridha B.C. Gharbi
Understanding and predicting the performance of solvent drives and remediation of contaminated aquifers in heterogeneous reservoirs is of great importance to the petroleum and environmental industries. In this paper, a general method to scale flow through heterogeneous reservoirs is presented for a miscible displacement of oil by a solvent. Results show that scaling miscible displacements in a two-dimensional, heterogeneous, anisotropic vertical cross section requires the matching of 13 dimensionless scaling groups. These groups were derived using a general procedure of inspectional analysis. A detailed numerical sensitivity study was performed to reveal the relationship between the scaling groups and the fractional oil recovery of miscible displacements in heterogeneous reservoirs. This relationship was then mapped using an artificial neural network, which can be used as a quick prediction tool for the fractional oil recovery for any combinations of the scaling groups, thus eliminating the need for the expensive fine-mesh simulations. These results have potential applications in modeling miscible displacements and in the scaling of laboratory displacements to field conditions.

Why Garden Peat Moss Free?
What's in the potting soil that you are using?
Chances are, if you are like most gardeners, you don't really know. It's dark brown, it's moist and it looks like, well... potting soil. But, if you're concerned about sustainability, global climate change and the environment, you might want to take a closer look in that bag.
The majority of potting soils, contain peat moss as their primary ingredient and that's where the issues begin for a lot of environmentalists and a growing cadre of concerned gardeners.
If you've been a gardener for long, you are likely familiar with peat moss, but may not know about its associated environmental issues. Peat moss is the decaying plant matter that forms under sphagnum moss. As sphagnum moss grows, it layers upon itself, collecting and compacting dead matter beneath the living layer. Very slowly, the peat layer builds as more moss grows overtop, creating the rich, earthy, substance known as peat moss. Although devoid of nutrition or healthy biological microorganisms, it is a popular ingredient in most potting soils and some soil amendments.
What are the issues and why go peat free?
First, peat renews at a very, very slow rate. Since it is organic matter, many people assume that peat is a renewable resource. Technically, it is, since the moss is a life form that continues to grow. The problem is that it grows at a very, very slow rate - only 1 to 2 millimeters a year. This has lead to many debates about the renewable aspects of peat harvesting. A thousand years of peat growth is easily harvested in a week. Adding to the problem is the location of this peat resource.
Sphagnum moss only grows in northern bogs or wetlands. About 90% of the peat that is used in North America comes from commercially mined Canadian peat bogs. Peat sustains many Canadian wetlands due to its water absorbency (the same reason soil companies use it in their potting mixes) and when mass harvested, this ecosystem is eliminated.
The mining process involves digging a network of ditches and basins around and through the bog, then draining the water away from the wetland, causing the area to dry out and die. Once that happens, the surface plants are removed and the peat harvesting begins.
The second big concern is that peat bogs store carbon, lots of carbon; and that's a big issue among global warming scientists. Although they cover only 3% of the world's land area, peatlands contain almost 30% of all the carbon stored on the earth's lands. Of course, the release of carbon into our atmosphere is the primary cause of global warming. The more peat we harvest, the more carbon we put into our atmosphere and the more global warming.
How exactly does peat moss fight global warming? Well, as the mosses grow, they absorb carbon dioxide, which becomes locked up within the plants structure and remains there as the plants decay and turn to peat. Scientists think that peat bogs contain more carbon than all the world's tropical rainforests combined. Each square yard of a peat bog may contain several hundred pounds of undecomposed organic matter, for a total of between 200 and 450 billion tons of carbon stored away in peat bogs worldwide. But when the bogs are disturbed or drained for peat extraction, the peat starts to decompose and the carbon dioxide is released back into the atmosphere, where it acts as a potent greenhouse gas, trapping heat; much like the burning of fossil fuels.
Third, peat bogs are home to a large array of flora and fauna that thrive in these unique environments.
Although a small amount of peat is used as fuel in Europe, in the U.S., peat moss is almost exclusively used in horticulture. 40,000 acres of peat moss are currently being harvested in Canada, with 90% of the product destined for the gardening industry. Many conservationists, gardeners, and wetlands scientists are now recommending a boycott of peat. England's famous Royal Horticultural Society has targeted a 90% reduction of its own peat use by the end of this year and the England's government has set aggressive targets toward a huge reduction in peat consumption. England's largest retailers of peat moss, companies similar to our own Home Depot and Lowe's, have agreed to meet or exceed these targets. Bravo!
Yet in the U.S. the peat moss debate has barely reached a whisper. If I've piqued your interest, I encourage you to do a little more research and then make your own decisions about your consumption of peat moss.
Next time you're picking up one of those potting soil bags, flip it over and take a look at the ingredients. It might be worth knowing what's in the bag.
Questions from Readers August 8.
Did you notice that the Costa Mesa Sanitary District is offering residents Earth Machine compost bins for only $20. I looked it up and found it selling for $100. I picked up one today and it seems sturdy and well designed. They seem to have a good supply and have more on order. Your readers might want to know about this. Information is available at www.cmsdca.gov or by calling the Costa Mesa Sanitary District office at (949) 645-8400.
Thanks for the tip Van and good timing, considering the topic of this week's column.
I live just outside a large Eucalyptus forest. As I look out the window, across my garden and over the fence I can see hundreds of old, 50 to 75 foot Eucalyptus.
Today's column may cause confusion.

"Nature inspires me, there simply is no better architect or designer. When working, I frequently watch various documentaries on my second monitor. It broadens my horizon and helps instill new ideas."
Alexandre Mougenot
"When it comes to styles, I want to try my hands at absolutely everything! I love working with realistic characters while continuing to deepen my anatomy basics, and then make them more stylized."
"I am fascinated by the relation between traditional and digital art and wanted to try my hands at a traditional painting and see what effect I could achieve in 3D."
Jared Fischler
"Having a balanced creative mindset is super important, because traditional art is full of abstract work, while CGI more often tends to chase realism."
Santiago Vilaseca
"I draw inspiration from all things around me, in my daily life as well as in my travels. Music is another invaluable source of inspiration for me."
Constantin Vilsmeier
"I observe how the material reacts in the sun, how dust or dirt builds up on surfaces, how old age wears down wood or metal."
Paul Birman
"Learn, learn, learn! Every day, try to learn something new! Create your own projects and don't be scared to post it everywhere on the internet."
Sarah Petruzzi
"First of all, I gathered all the resources I needed, including references from the film itself as well as photos of the real props such as the headbands."
Artur Tamiola
"What inspires me the most as a 3D artist is to solve problems given by myself and others. To be more exact – I try to see the bigger picture, understand different fields of work and figure out how to go about it."
Kasita Wonowidjojo
"Whatever I do, I like to either have a story in mind or a message I want to portray visually. When that storytelling element is in the heart of the piece, everything else falls into place."
Javier Pedreño
"My favorite discipline is 3D sculpting characters. I just love putting aside the technical aspects for a while and only focus on the basics such as anatomy, proportions, silhouette, etc."
Alexander Alojants
"In my opinion, personal projects are really important not only as part of a portfolio and demonstration of your capabilities, but also as means for artists to seek out and overcome self-imposed challenges."

Ever since July 22nd 1994, haa, that dastardly accidental embarrassing event in our country's history, when a section of the Gambia's armed forces stroke a crushing torpedo on our flourishing democracy, imperfect as it were, we have been observing with keen interest, a growing line-up of self-serving gold diggers crawling before a rather dejected and disconsolate leader all in the name of polishing his brushed image to the unsuspecting audience.
And it does not matter who and what type of audience they're spewing their propaganda to so long the targets have the energy to listen.
The chorus, notwithstanding its boring content, were and are still carefully designed to depict a situation of hope, happiness, progress and normality. But in reality the cherished choir singers and directors always crash head-on even before they land because they always have to lie so hard to fake a situation of catastrophic proportion that the Gambia finds itself in. But the dictator, who we all know is the chief architect of such self-ballooning image building projects, even though is ever scared to be seen to be directly associated with them, is never deterred to paint an image that is otherwise him.
If it is not an award of a new Doctorate Decree from a fake institution of learning, it will be a rather bizarre title added to his long lists of names that have now become imbecilic of our nation state and to the personality of the president himself.
And the people spearheading these projects all have one thing in common: line-up their pockets with our public loot through material adventurism with the utmost of disregard to our plight….in fact to them our plight never matters.
They range from big names in Nollywood; the cockroaches, the fetish and starved musicians; the religious fundamentalists and the willfully ignorant (to borrow a quote from Ousainou Mbenga); and now we have seen the maggots in the types of Becai Mbayi who think that Gambian blood and tears are less significant so long their breads are buttered by our President's dirty money.
Hey Gambians have blood running in our veins and we feel pain too. So to Senegal's 2SS TV presenter Becai Mbayi who insulted the dignity of Gambians in an interview this week, we say: if you are a door mat, allow Jammeh to trample and roll on and over you but leave us alone because this fight that we are engaged in with Jammeh is legitimate and we shall uncompromisingly pursue it to the very end.

Dream Team? Comptroller-Elect's Transition Team Raises Eyebrows
Van Smith	Uncategorized	 November 21, 2019 4 Minutes
Published by City Paper, Nov. 29, 1995
Comptroller-elect Joan Pratt has chosen Julius Henson, her campaign manager, and state Senator Larry Young to help lead a team of about 25 people that will direct her transition from private life as a certified public accountant to the holder of the third-highest position in city government. Both men contributed to Pratt's campaign. Henson also is widely believed to be Pratt's choice for city real-estate officer, an appointment that has been vacant since Arthur Held's term expired on June 30.
Henson, who chairs the transition team, ran Pratt's campaign against retired state Senator Julian Lapides, the early favorite who lost the Democratic primary in September by nearly 10,000 votes. In addition to volunteering as campaign manager, Henson gave $1,400 to the Pratt campaign, plus another $1,065 that was donated by one of his companies, the Wild Geese Company. (These totals are based on campaign-finance reports covering the period up until two weeks before the September primary. As of November 24, Pratt had not filed a copy of her October 27 report in Baltimore, which she is required to do under state election laws.)
About the real-estate-office position, Henson says Pratt "has not made any decisions about that yet. If she does offer it to me, I'll consider it." The city real-estate officer is responsible for the disposition of all city real estate, including acquisitions and sales, leases, contracts, and tax sales of properties with delinquent accounts.
Pratt and Henson were business partners in a real-estate investment company, Henson & Pratt, Inc., and in 2112 Etting Street Limited Partnership, among other partnerships. Through these concerns, Pratt and Henson together owned nine residential properties. In August, Pratt transferred her stock in the partnerships to Henson (CP, 8/9/1995).
The properties were in various states of disrepair in August, when Pratt and Henson each owned a 50 percent stake in the businesses. A recent visit to three properties on the 2100 block of Etting Street found two of them occupied by tenants who complained of Henson's unresponsiveness to problems at their houses, which included rat holes in the kitchen, holes in the ceiling, unrepaired fire damage, and a jury-rigged furnace. The third house is vacant.
Though neither Pratt nor Henson will confirm it for the press, sources close to both say they have been romantically involved for several years. Mary Henson, Julius' mother, says the diamond ring worn by Joan Pratt is a gift from Julius and confirms their romantic relationship.
Mary Henson's own relationship with her son has been difficult; in February 1993, she filed battery and attempted-theft charges against Julius Henson. She was 63 at the time. Her son was acquitted of the charges in June of that year.
In 1974, at age 25, Henson ran in the Democratic primary for clerk of the circuit court. He got more than 17,000 votes in a citywide race, but lost to John Hubble. Asked whether he gained any lessons from the experience that helped him in managing the Pratt campaign, he says, "Not really." Henson says he doesn't remember why he sought the office, except that "it was winnable, I guess."
Young, who chairs the team's committee on the office of the comptroller, was an early backer of Pratt's campaign (and a $250 contributor). Henson says, "He may have been the only [state] senator who did not support Jack Lapides, so he has been a friend of the campaign."
Young came up in politics under the tutelage of U.S. Representative Parren Mitchell in the 1970s and has emerged as a powerful West Baltimore political figure whose campaign organization has delivered votes effectively for Bill Clinton, Parris Glendening, Kurt Schmoke, and now Joan Pratt (who is also from West Baltimore). He chairs the Senate Executive Nominations Committee and the Health Subcommittee of the Senate Finance Committee.
Along with his political prominence, Young has been the subject of Baltimore City police attention over the years. As chronicled in David Simon's book Homicide: A Year on the Killing Streets, Young was involved in a series of odd incidents in 1988: He injured his political aide's arm by beating him with a tree limb, and he falsely reported being kidnapped, a misdemeanor charge of which he was acquitted after much embarrassing publicity.
In 1990, Young became a central figure (though officially not a suspect) in the murder investigation of his close personal friend, the Reverend Marvin Moore. The murder case is still open.
More recently, Young was caught up in the Willie Runyon political-fund-raising scandal during last year's legal battle over the gubernatorial election. Young did not disclose the fact that he was an employee of Runyon's American Ambulance and Oxygen Service, Inc., in his financial-disclosure form on file with the state ethics commission in Towson, in spite of the fact that he sits on a subcommittee that considers healthcare legislation that might affect Runyon's business. Young retired from American Ambulance in June.
According to Henson, Pratt's transition team is staffed voluntarily with professionals who have expertise in the areas of human resources, audits, real estate, communications, insurance, ethics, governmental relationships, public relations and the historical role of the comptroller, and it will help arrange a proposed conference on economic empowerment and a proposed citizens advisory review board to scrutinize waste, fraud, and abuse. Each of these "areas of perusal" is assigned to a committee of the team.
As an example of what expertise the transition-team members bring to the table, Henson explains that "the woman looking at the city's paging system, which falls under communication, she sells pagers to area hospitals."
No other members of the Pratt transition team have been named. However, Henson confirmed that he and two other men have met with members of the city's office of real estate to discuss its functions. One of the men identified by Henson, Arnold Hawkins, is an attorney with Harbor Title Guarantee Company, and gave $1,000 to the Pratt campaign before the September primary.
Asked why he was asked to chair the transition team, Henson says, "If I was smart enough to win the election, I guess the comptroller-elect thought I was smart enough to chair the transition team." Pratt did not return phone calls seeking comment for this story, and Henson said the comptroller-elect would not speak to City Paper.

Affiliates who sign up to the program will start earning commission based on their standard deal. This is a net revenue structure where commission is earned based on the number of new depositing customers referred to the casino every month.
The program is a tiered one, so the more players the affiliate can refer the more they will be rewarded. The affiliate will earn a percentage share of the players generated net revenue every month. Referred players need to remain active at the casino for the affiliate to earn commission.
Even though a no negative carryover is favourable unfortunately, there is a negative carryover here. This means negative earnings will be carried over into the next month. However, as there is only one casino there are no bundling concerns.
Unfortunately, there is no sub-affiliation currently available.
Commission is calculated monthly and is usually paid around the 15th of every month. Affiliates can choose from several payment methods which include Neteller, Skrill, Bank Wire Transfer, Bitcoin and Credit Cards. Commission can also be paid in several currencies which include Euros, Turkish Lira, US dollars and Bitcoin.
There is a minimum monthly payment threshold of just $10 for payments sent via e-wallets. However, for payments sent via Bank Wire there is a $1000 minimum threshold. There is also a €10,000 monthly withdrawal limit. Affiliates should also be aware that admin fees will apply.
BetEast Affiliates utilizes the Proprietary software. Affiliates will have the use of a comprehensive reporting section within their accounts. Here they can keep track of their referred players, check commission stats along with other vital tools.

In an England-inspired kingdom known as Albion, great unrest has been brewing since the early 20th century. Thanks to some strongly opposed actions by the King and the rest of the ruling class, a group calling themselves the London Revolution eventually attempted to overthrow the royal family. When resistance on both sides ended up reaching a draw, the great divide truly began. With a massive wall in place smack dab in the middle of London, Albion was officially split into the Kingdom and the Commonwealth.
That's where Princess Charlotte and her group of spies come into play. While they pose as students at the Queen's Mayfair School, they run dangerous espionage missions and attempt to assist a few would-be defectors on their way to the Commonwealth. This doesn't always work out the way it should, and they must remain ever vigilant and mindful of double agents and other nefarious plots set up by those in power within the Kingdom. Lucky for them, their team of five is impressively adept at spy work and more than ready to kill whenever necessary.
In case you couldn't tell by the brief overview, Princess Principal is about 10 times as interesting as its title suggests. I went in completely blind, half expecting an incredibly colorful moe show about a bratty high schooler. The actual show is a far cry from anything like that, indeed. It's tough to go into too much detail regarding the overarching plot, partly because it's told in a nonlinear fashion through a variety of cases, but mostly because it's more interesting to follow the myriad twists and turns yourself. The core cast of characters each have their own unique quirks and skills, and the titular Princess is one of the most capable and calculating members. The truth regarding her royal role is first revealed in the second episode, but the history behind it takes a little longer to fully unravel.
Director Masaki Tachibana has an interesting résumé that lends itself well to something like Princess Principal. Shows like 2009's Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 and 2016's Barakamon couldn't be more different, but there's a narrative complexity at play in Princess Principal that builds nicely off Tachibana's past experience. Ichiro Okouchi (Code Geass, Planetes, Valvrave the Liberator) has arguably the most difficult job as series composition writer, though. There's a fine line between presenting mystery in an intriguing and compelling way and creating something that's convoluted for the sake of complexity. Okouchi's screenplays dodge this problem with apparent ease. Sure, there are a few moments in Princess Principal that don't quite click, and some of the revelations and twists aren't as elegantly designed as others, but its method of storytelling is mostly a success.
In a summer 2017 season full of sequels and adaptations of manga and light novels, Princess Principal was one of a small handful of originals along with The Reflection, Action Heroine Cheer Fruits, and a couple others of note. A few awkward CG-animated shots notwithstanding, Actas and Studio 3Hz did a nice job on this one. It's a polished series full of political intrigue and some slick spy work, so be sure to add it to your queue if you haven't already. For those of you in the United States, you'll have to do your streaming through Amazon's Anime Strike channel, while other regions can see if it's on Sentai's own service, HIDIVE. Even if the first installment doesn't end up immediately grabbing you, it's worth sticking with Princess Principal as the backstory unfolds in subsequent episodes.

Q: ArcGIS Online WebMap authentication timeout I have an ArcGIS Online public account and add WebMap to my website.
My ArcGIS Online WebMap looks like this ESRI's sample: LINK
And I am trying to add my WebMap to my website like this ESRI's reference page. You will see there is a map in the center of page: LINK
My WebMap is displayed on my webpage well. When I access my webpage, my WebMap asks my ID and Password. If I entered it, then it shows my map.
However, my question is, if I moved to different page and then come back to map page, it asks again. Is it possible to set a timeout so I don't have to sign in everytime I access the page?

A: The reason I asked this question is that to find out if there were a way to reduce my code simple and work on code in front-end.
I've researched OAuth that ESRI provided and I ended up using esri/IdentityManager. There were references to use esri/IdentityManager package; however there were no sample code to using it with personal WebMap which used arcgisUtils.createMap
So here is sample code that I worked:

Cecilia Rydinger Alin conducting sold out Night of Music
by News Desk • September 9, 2015 • 0 Comments
Aftonen with Swedish conductor Cecilia Rydinger Alin at Victoria Concert Hall.
The SYC Ensemble Singers have been practising since May for the concert that took place on Saturday the 5th of September. But Cecilia Rydinger Alin only just got to Singapore last Sunday. And right after the concert came to its' end she was on a plane back to Stockholm in Sweden. When the interview for this article takes place, it's a Wednesday night four days before the concert, and both Jennifer Tham, who is SYC Ensemble Singers' conductor, and Cecilia Alin are sitting at 'The Green Room' at Victoria Concert Hall where the second rehearsal of the week is due in half an hour. Cecilia Alins time in Singapore has been short, but busy. Before the sold out concert on Saturday, there were five days of rehearsals with the SYC Ensemble Singers and their conductor Jennifer Tham.
"It's a shot trip, but it's had a long process of preparation," Cecilia Rydinger Alin says, and emphasises how the cooperation and groundwork done by people in Singapore have been essential for her to be able to step in and take over with only five days to the concert.
"The preparations that Jennifer and her assistants has done has been of great importance, and it's fantastically prepared. It's like starting at a very high level and then getting to lift it even higher together," she says and smiles at Jennifer Tham.
Jennifer Tham is born in Singapore, has a bachelor of Fine Arts in Music and graduated as a composer from Simon Fraser University in Vancouver in 1995. Since 1986 she has been conducting the SYC Ensemble Singers. She was the one who contacted Cecilia Alin a year and a half ago and requested her to guest conduct.
"It's always our guest conductors who push us to the next level. We like to have guest conductors that can push us through the music and their visions," Jennifer Tham says.
Cecilia Rydinger Alin is one of Sweden's leading musical personalities, with a broad sphere of activities as a conductor and teacher as well as a Vice-Chancellor at the Royal College of Music in Stockholm. She is best known in choral circles as the artistic director and conductor of Orphei Drängar, an all-male choir established in 1853, which today continues to attract international esteem for its groundbreaking commissions of works for male voice together with it's rich and profound quality of it's sound. It's her first time as a guest conductor in Asia, and after working with the Singaporean Ensemble Singers she sees some differences in their approach to the profession.
"What I find is that the preparations is very different from when I prepare my choir in Sweden. They work a lot more with ear training and music theory. In Sweden we learn the music by playing the piano with the singer's parts," she says.
Two thirds of the songs in the repertoire for the concert were in Swedish, which was new, both for the choir, but also for the Singaporean audience.
"I try to find music that has lyrics of poetry and importance, and I hope that will be clear to the audience. That they pick up on the emotional part of it," Cecilia Alin says.
And even though there were translations of the lyrics at the concert, the language barrier is, according to Jennifer Tham, not a problem.
"Everyone hears the music the same way, its build into our systems," she says.
Cecilia Alin nods her head in agreement, but also explains why she chose so many Swedish songs for a concert in Singapore.
"It's my native language and the music that I'm brought up with as a conductor. My culture is now meeting the Singaporean culture, but the language of music is universal, and that's what's interesting about working with choirs."
Cecilia Rydinger Aling and the Choir in rehearsal
She describes the guest conducting like meeting a person for the first time. She has her visions for the concert, and so does the regular conductors, and no one really knows if they are compatible until it all comes together. According to Cecilia Alin, it means that she has to keep an open mind. But for her it comes easily, as being open about herself is part of the job description.
"The leadership of the conductor has to be personal, because I work with my body, my face, with the arms and shoulders. So what goes on in my mind has to be transported through my body and be shown very clearly,"
Both Jennifer Tham and Cecilia Alin are in some of the high positions of the conducting world. They also both happen to be women. An assumption about the uneven representation of men and women as conductors is brought up, and is confirmed.
"It's definitely a man's world. And even more within orchastra. Definitely," says Cecilia Alin and it's Jennifer Tham who elborates further:
"The women don't usually go all the way to the highest professions, so there is very few female conductors."
Even more rare than being female conductor, Cecilia Alin is also the conductor of an all male choir in Sweden. But she says that she doesn't look at herself as being a female conductor. She is just a conductor.
"But I do believe that we can be role models for younger female conductors, and help them get the confidence. There comes a time where you have to prove that you are as good as the male conductors, and for those things I think we can be of help," she says.
Even though it's still a man's world, she has seen a great development within the last decades, and she predicts, that female representation will expand.
"And why shouldn't it?" she questions rhetorically.
The last question before the conductors join the choir for a three-hour rehearsal is whether or not there are any nerves before the sold out show, and the answer comes almost in unison.
"No nerves, only excitement."

SVG Philatelic Bureau downsizing
by Adrian Codogan 19.JAN.07
Come March 31, four workers at the St Vincent Philatelic Bureau will either have to find new jobs or join the long unemployment line. One worker opted for retirement but four will have to go in what Chairman of the Board of Directors John Thompson says is downsizing.
The workers whose collective employment with the company spans 80 years were issued with letters on January 2, 2007. Thompson told SEARCHLIGHT that there was a big drop in what the company earned because the agent in the United States that produces stamps for the Bureau is paying them less.{{more}} "People are not using stamps like before because of the new technologies, it is easier to make a phone call or e-mail but we are trying to get the schools to encourage stamp collecting among students," he further stated.
The company made donations to several sporting and charitable organizations including the prison's farming project at Belle Isle during last year and reported a small profit in 2005 according to Thompson.
General Manager of the Philatelic Bureau Edward Beache said, "Why don't you leave Philatelic alone, we don't want to be in the spotlight".
The Philatelic Bureau is a Government owned limited company that was established more than 40 years ago. There are eight members on it's board of directors. Thompson, an accountant and former Parlimentarian was Chairman of the Bureau in the 70s and 80s and was reinstated when the Unity Labour Party (ULP) took office in 2001.

Q: Adjust a card according to the height of the parent container I have a bootstrap card with a header, footer and a list between these two. I want the header and footer to be fixed and the middle part to be adjusted to the height of the window (the body), so that the middle part can have a scroll bar if the content is bigger than the body of the page. I could only do this with fixed heights in the "ul" element but I want it to cover the height of the body.

      Header title

 one

 two

      ...

      Footer

A: You can use flexbox
Here are my code.
.card{

.card-header, .card-footer{
    height:200px;

.card ul{

So, you can make ul to fit body height exclude header and footer.
And then if content is long, ul will makes scrollbar.

Hazel Bly and the Deep Blue Sea
by Ashley Herring Blake
ebook Trade Paperback
Little Brown Young Readers Logo
Children's Books / Juvenile Fiction / Social Themes / Death & Dying / Death, Grief, Bereavement
For fans of Erin Entrada Kelly and Ali Benjamin comes a poignant yet hopeful novel about a girl navigating grief, trauma, and friendship, from Ashley Herring Blake, the award-winning author of Ivy Aberdeen's Letter to the World.
Hazel Bly used to live in the perfect house with the perfect family in sunny California. But when a kayaking trip goes horribly wrong, Mum is suddenly gone forever and Hazel is left with crippling anxiety and a jagged scar on her face. After Mum's death, Hazel, her other mother, Mama, and her little sister, Peach, needed a fresh start. So for the last two years, the Bly girls have lived all over the country, never settling anywhere for more than a few months.
When the family arrives in Rose Harbor, Maine, there's a wildness to the small town that feels like magic. But when Mama runs into an old childhood friend—Claire—suddenly Hazel's tight-knit world is infiltrated. To make it worse, she has a daughter Hazel's age, Lemon, who can't stop rambling on and on about the Rose Maid, a local 150-year-old mermaid myth.
Soon, Hazel finds herself just as obsessed with the Rose Maid as Lemon is—because what if magic were real? What if grief really could change you so much, you weren't even yourself anymore? And what if instead you emerged from the darkness stronger than before?
Author Essay
Ashley Herring Blake on Hazel Bly and the Deep Blue Sea
More than eighty percent of the world's oceans remain unexplored. To me, that's a staggering number, almost overwhelming, to think of all those deeps no human has touched, all the possibilities we haven't even thought of yet.
All those mysteries.
When I sat down to write my next middle grade novel, I knew I wanted to tell a story about loss, about life after the unthinkable happens. What do you do? How do you actually move on, as it seemed so easy for others to do? For me, a woman whose own parents were both dead by her early thirties, those questions had always been a mystery. I wanted my character, Hazel, to grapple with these same questions, and I could think of no better setting for her than the deep blue sea—the most beautiful, dangerous, and mysterious element on our planet.
In the book, Hazel has lost a parent to an accident, but she's lost much more than that—she's lost herself, she's lost the ability to see possibility, to hope. I knew what that felt like and I knew there were many kids out there who did too. The task of coming back from the loss of a loved one seems insurmountable, impossibly even, until you realize the truth.

Motorcycle enthusiasts, like other motor vehicle operators, need to make sure they have the correct type of insurance to cover any incidents that might happen. Buying the right type of policy helps the motorcycle rider and their two-wheeled vehicle covered and safe. This type of insurance also protects other drivers, pedestrians or anyone else who could become involved with a roadway accident.
Conscientious motorcyclists want to stay legal when out on the road, and motorcycle helps them do so. Most states require some amount of insurance for all owners of motorcycles. The most basic type of insurance motorcyclists need to buy, fairly universally, is insurance that pays for property and liability coverage to cover damages or injuries of anyone else involved in an accident.
Anyone who owns a motorcycle needs to buy some form of insurance. Similar to any other motor vehicle owners, it is critical to have proof of insurance if confronted by law enforcement for a traffic stop or an accident.
Property and liability insurance for motorcycles works to pay for any injuries or damages that others might sustain during any type of accident involving a motorcycle owner and their motorcycle. Any other types of insurance that these vehicle owners buy cover a variety of other things, such as their own vehicle's damages in an accident. It would also cover other types of damages and accidents, such as fire, theft, vandalism, severe weather, objects that fall on the motorcycle and an encounter where a motorcycle rider runs into an animal, or an animal runs into them.
Different types of coverage that a motorcycle owner can buy include liability coverage, comprehensive and collision coverage, total loss coverage, medical payments coverage, optional equipment coverage, trip interruption coverage, uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage, and towing and labor coverage.
The primary benefits of buying motorcycle insurance are that the motor vehicle owner stays in compliance with the law within their jurisdiction. Just as importantly, having a comprehensive insurance plan gives a motorcycle owner peace of mind when their motorcycle is in the driveway, as well as when they are driving.

Wisconsin Badgers vs. Oregon Ducks Point Spread – Pick Against the Spread
No. 8 Wisconsin Badgers (11-2 SU, 7-5-1 ATS) vs. No. 5 Oregon Ducks (11-2 SU, 6-5-2 ATS), 5:00 p.m. EST, Rose Bowl Game Presented by Vizio, Monday, January 2, 2012, Rose Bowl, Pasadena, Calif., TV: ESPN
by Badger, College Football Handicapper, Predictem.com
Point Spread: Wis +6/OR -6
Over/Under Total: 72
Bet the Wisky/U of O game using your credit card at an online bookie that WILL get it to work for deposits: BetOnline.
Two of the countrys best two-loss teams that were a mere handful of plays away from playing in the BCS Championship game will instead have to settle for playing in the Granddaddy of all of the bowl games against each other, when the 5th-ranked Oregon Ducks take on the 8th-ranked Wisconsin Badgers in the Rose Bowl in Pasadena on January 2nd.
Oregon will be making their third straight BCS bowl appearance, but after going 0-2 in the first two, including a loss to Auburn in last years BCS title game, the Ducks will have to find a way to finally win a BCS game in order to silence the critics who say they cant win the big games.
Oregon notched its third straight PAC-12 title and another trip to Pasadena with a, 49-31, victory over UCLA in the first-ever PAC-12 Championship game back on December 2nd. Running back LaMichael James ran for 219 yards and three touchdowns and the Ducks defense forced four UCLA turnovers to seal the BCS bid for the Ducks.
But as close as the Ducks were to a shot at the BCS Championship game, the Badgers were literally two plays away from the same scenario. A hail mary pass turned touchdown by replay against Michigan State and a last-second bomb in a four-point loss at Ohio State cost Wisconsin a shot at an undefeated season and a chance at the crystal ball back at the end of October.
Wisconsin rebounded very well though, winning their final five games of the season in order to get their second consecutive trip to Pasadena to play in the Rose Bowl. The fifth win of that string was the biggest one, a narrow 42-39 victory over Michigan State in the rematch that gave the Badgers the first-ever Big Ten Conference Championship game trophy.
Now these two teams will face off in the Rose Bowl with reputations at stake, in what looks like potentially one of the highest scoring and most exciting bowl games on the entire card this postseason.
Oddsmakers are expecting a shootout, listing the Ducks as early 6-point favorites in the game with an over/under total opening at a whopping 72. With the point spread and total open for a little over a week already, there has yet to be any significant line movement in either direction.
The opening total is set so high because this game features two of the top offenses in the nation.
Oregon has speed to burn on offense, which will be a huge challenge for the Badgers defense. QB Darron Thomas is great at reading the speed option and giving the ball to James for large chunks of yards on the ground. When James gets tired, the Ducks bring in Kenjon Barner (909 yards, 11 TD) and they dont miss a step in the run game (296 ypg 5th).
But Thomas also has 30 touchdown throws when defenses cheat to stop the run, with a solid tight end (David Paulson 6 TD) and two speedy receivers in freshman DeAnthony Thomas (9 TD) and Lavasier Tuinei (8 TD). When you add it all up, the Ducks score quickly and in bunches (46.2 ppg 3rd in NCAA).
If there is a team that can hang with the Ducks high-powered offense, it might be Wisconsin.
The Badgers also have a powerful running game with Heisman candidate Montee Ball (1,759 yards, 38 TD) running behind a mammoth offensive line for 237 yards a game (10th). Wisconsin can also go two-deep with James White spelling Ball at times throughout the game without missing a beat.
Quarterback Russell Wilson has enjoyed a great season (2,800 yards, 72 %, 31 TD) throwing the ball off of play action, with his favorite target being Nick Toon on the perimeter. When you add up all of the Badgers numbers you get 44.8 points per game, the 4th highest tally in the NCAA this season.
The defenses that will try and contain these offenses will have their hands full. Wisconsin has had issues stopping the run at times this season (138 ypg allowed 47th), and they have not faced the speed and tempo the Ducks will throw at them in the Rose Bowl. On the other sideline the Ducks defense is also prone to giving up big chunks of yardage (382 ypg 60th), so this game could quickly turn into a track meet if the offenses get their way.
Oregon and Wisconsin have met twice before when the two schools scheduled a home-and-home series in the early 2000s. As expected, home field was huge as the Badgers won 27-23 at home in Madison in 2000, but the Ducks turned the tables next year in Eugene, 31-28. Both games went over the closing total, but at 48.5 (in 2000) and 49 (2001) those total werent even close to the number these two will be chasing on January 2nd.
A quick look at the betting trends shows that the Badgers have done well in past bowl games (5-2 ATS) in neutral site games as an underdog (5-2 ATS). In fact, Wisconsin is 6-1 ATS in their last seven bowl games as the listed underdog (of 3.5 to 10 points).
Oregon is not as strong in neutral site games (2-5 ATS), or in bowl games as the favorite (1-4 ATS).
It may be hard to imagine, but the under might turn into the best trend play on the board. The under is 5-1 in Wisconsins last six bowl games, 4-1 in their last five games against a PAC-12 opponent and 6-2 in their last eight neutral site games. The under is also 5-1 in Oregons last six bowl games, 5-2 in the last seven neutral site games and a perfect 5-0 in the last five bowl games as a favorite.
Badgers Pick to Cover the Point Spread: At first glance I dont see how either team is going to stop the other one in this game. But thats also everyone elses take on this game and thats simply too easy. So Im going to play a trend and go against the public here with a play on the under. A small play. Im taking the under of 72.


Period of soaring emissions may be ending, new data suggests.
New data published Monday by a global team of researchers show that sharp declines in Chinese coal burning and a continued surge of renewable energy worldwide may have contributed to the first-ever global decline in emissions during a year when the overall global economy grew. Though the Chinese data is especially uncertain, it's clear that an important energy transition is currently underway.
The average Canadian CEO's compensation jumped 47 per cent over the past six years, largely due to a move toward stock-based pay and away from cash. With shareholders beginning to speak out and some Bay Street names taking note, the time for reform could be now – but it won't be easy.
In less than 10 years, Uruguay has slashed its carbon footprint without government subsidies or higher consumer costs. Now that renewables provide 94.5 per cent of the country's electricity, prices are lower than in the past relative to inflation. There are also fewer power cuts because a diverse energy mix means greater resilience to droughts.
Most companies around the world have yet to take the necessary steps to prepare for growing water scarcity, according to a new report by CDP. Fifty-three per cent of companies in water-dependent industries have failed to conduct a comprehensive risk assessment, despite nearly two-thirds of these firms admitting they are facing tangible water risks within their sector.
A federal jury in December convicted former Massey Energy CEO Don Blankenship of conspiring to violate national mine-safety laws at one of the company's coal mines in West Virginia. The litigation was related to the Upper Big Branch mine explosion that killed 29 workers in April 2010, the worst U.S. mining disaster in 40 years.
Frustrated by a perceived lack of action at the state level, more Americans are planning to take their climate change arguments directly to the people through the state referendum process. One Oregon proposal is pushing for a coal phase-out by 2030, while competing ballot initiatives in Washington State are asking voters to agree to different forms of carbon taxation. Down south, an unorthodox coalition of Tea Party members, environmental activists, libertarians and others have gathered under the flag of Floridians for Solar Choice.

My art studio is located in the old Charles Axel Smith garage in Berkeley. In the heart of the garage is an automobile turntable built in 1911 by the Lansing Wheelbarrow Company. This old turntable rules the garage like ancient armor. It is also full of intrigue. "What's under there?" "Where's the button?" "Can I walk on it?"
I've recently started a series called Time Machine, based on the turntable and the garage. The Time Machine series makes use of the space and light of the garage (whether day or night), the shape and majesty of the turntable, and various patterns found in the bolting. There are many opportunities for rotating specks of light on dark and dark on light in the turntable bolts. This mixing of specks is something I learned from Corot.
An element in some of the nocturnal Time Machines is the one foot square vent in the ceiling of the garage. It vents all the way through the second floor where the chauffeurs used to live, and through the attic (where J. Malkovich lives), to the sky. There is a little patch of sky available to anyone who stands in the center of the turntable. It's as if the stars in the sky are connecting with the five center bolts of the turntable.
