Product liability claims are common, but sometimes it is hard to determine whether the individual user is at fault for their injury from a product, or if the company is at fault.
2) The product caused the injury.
3) The product that caused the injury was "defective" (and the injury wasn't caused the by the injured person's misuse of the product).
If someone has been injured by a product that was recalled, it is easy to show the product was defective – and the manufacturers are already aware. But often in product liability cases it is more difficult to prove that a product is defective, how it is defective, and how that defect caused the injury.
1. Design defect: If a product is designed improperly, or not tested sufficiently, there can be problems that the manufacturers are not aware of when they release the product. In this case, the entire line of products could be dangerous and will likely be recalled. Examples of poorly designed products include top-heavy SUVs, toys that become choking hazards, and appliances that easily catch fire. All of these are prime examples of defective products, and all of these have had product liability claims brought against their manufacturers.
2. Manufacturing defect: A product can be designed to be perfectly safe, but if there is a problem in the manufacturing stage, the product can become unsafe. Errors made during the manufacturing can result in any number of problems. Food with salmonella is a good example of this, but if the salmonella makes you sick you can still file a products liability claim because the manufacturer should be held accountable for these errors.
3. Marketing defect: When a product has been designed perfectly and manufactured perfectly, there can still be cause for a product liability claim if the manufacturer failed to provide adequate warnings or information about dangerous side effects. For example, if a product does not come with clear and detailed safe-handling instructions, a case could potentially be made that the manufacturer did not fulfill their duty to keep consumers safe and a product liability claim is possible.
Determining product liability can be complicated, but a Portland product liability attorney can help you with the legal procedures. If you've been injured using a product, it's important to seek legal advice. Sometimes filing a product liability claim is the only way to alert manufacturers to the dangers of their products – and prevent further injuries.

In honor of Public Domain Day, I'm ceding my play Classic Cage to the public domain! Classic Cage was produced by Theatre Cedar Rapids as part of the 2019 Underground New Play Festival, and later published in issue 3 of some scripts. And now it's free for all to read, modify, and perform! Nota bene, this play could very easily, minimally, be adapted to be performed over zoom, since it already takes place entirely through video calls—that's right, I wrote a zoom play before it was cool!
Tara Cage is struggling to sell her next book. Publishers on Mars want another of her cheerful, optimistic Earth travelogues, the ones that made her so popular, but things have been getting bad on Earth. Climate change and economic upheaval have made Tara a lot more cynical, and sick of selling Mars a whitewashed version of her home planet. Her sister and literary agent, Michaela Cage, tries to grease the wheels with a potential publisher by getting a realtime FTL video connection between them on Mars and Tara on Earth. Unfortunately Tara's internet connection has been screwy, making the video chat's predictive AI patch over moments of lag with an AI version of Tara, compiled from calls made by Tara the last time she used it—which was twenty years ago. Between the upbeat, cheerful robo-Tara, and the true, jaded, bitter Tara, the publisher is getting mixed messages—though the AI seems to be making a better impression than Tara herself.
Classic Cage is a play about public personas, optimism and pessimism, and the reconciling of youthful dreams with present realities.
Running time is approximately 40 minutes. The cast is 3F, 2M.
You can download the play in the following formats: PDF — Epub — Mobi — Docx. If you really want to pay me for it, you can set your own price for it on Smashwords.
I've also written a post for Public Domain Day, about the Public Domain Review, which you can read here.

Q: RecyclerView position at the fragment level I have a fragment that contains a Recyclerview (along with ViewHolder and Adapter).  The onClick handler is defined inside ViewHolder, but I would like to query the position of item selected in the fragment level.
I can save the item position to fragment's member variable using getAdapterPosition() from within the ViewHolder's onClick but is there a direct way to get the ViewHolder or position clicked from the fragment level? Ideally I would rather the ViewHolder not know anything about the fragment.

A: You could use multiple listeners (interfaces) to transport the clicked position back from your ViewHolders to your Fragment via your RecyclerView. Following is a minimalized example of what I mean: basically you let your Fragment listen to your RecyclerView, which in turn listens to your ViewHolders beeing clicked.
Hope this helps you find a way to solve your problem. Don't know if it is the best way, but it worked for me and I like this communication.
YourViewHolder.java
itemView.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
    @Override
    public void onClick() {
        for (ViewHolderListener l : listeners) {
            l.onViewHolderClicked(getLayoutPosition())
...
public interface ViewHolderListener() {
    void onViewHolderClicked(int position);
}

YourRecyclerView.java
public class YourRecyclerView ... implements YourViewHolder.ViewHolderListener {
...
    @Override
    public void onViewHolderClicked(int position) {
        for (RecyclerViewListener l : listeners) {
            l.onViewClicked(position);
    ...

public interface RecyclerViewListener {
    void onViewClicked(int position);
}

YourFragment.java
public class YourFragment ... implements YourRecyclerView.RecyclerViewListener {
    ...
    @Override
    public void onViewClicked(int position) {
        // Here you do whatever you want with the clicked view's position
    }

Earl Stevens, popular bartender at Art's Bar, dies at 66
Curt Smith
LANSING – Earl Stevens was an affable bartender who touched just about every level of Lansing society. He was an active supporter of Michigan State University sports. He died Sunday, three years and three months after a fall left most of his body paralyzed.
Before the accident, Stevens worked for about 15 years as a bartender and manager at Art's Bar & Grill near downtown Lansing, according to Rick Yager, a co-owner.
"He was a truly nice guy," Yager said Monday. "He made everybody smile."
You didn't order anything fancy at Art's, at least when Stevens was behind the bar, said Natalie Hool, a server at Art's on and off for 23 years.
"If someone came in and try to order a piña colada or something and he'd say, 'I don't think so. Is it a whiskey or a beer?'"
The remarks usually came with a mischievous grin.
At closing time, he'd sometimes send stragglers home with a chorus of "Happy Trails."
But Stevens was also a devoted family man, said Janis, his wife of 43 years
"We have the three sons — Jason, Chad and Matt -— who just adored him," she said. "He was a wonderful man."
She said her husband had used a wheelchair since his fall, three days before Christmas in 2012. A diabetic, Stevens had trouble swallowing in the past month and came down with pneumonia, influenza and other health issues.
"His body just gave up," his wife said.
Born in Indiana, Stevens was a devoted supporter of MSU athletics. He was a member of the Downtown Coaches Club and the Rebounders Club, booster groups for the Spartan football and men's basketball teams, respectively.
"He was a great guy," head basketball coach Tom Izzo said Tuesday. "I didn't know him on a personal level, but I knew him on a fan-coach level. He was unbelievably enthusiastic, always positive.
"Always gave me a cigar when we won or lost, because I think he had an appreciation for things. I never learned how to smoke the damn things."
Most people, though, knew Stevens from Art's.
Dave Akerly, a longtime journalist who now hosts a morning show on WILS-AM, was a friend, golf partner and customer. Akerly referred to Art's as "Lansing's lobby." He called Stevens "Big Dog. Stevens called him "The Talking Head."
"Between day and night time you could see this incredible mixture of people in there, from high-level government staffers and lobbyists to street walkers on Kalamazoo Street," Akerly said. "Earl knew them all. He knew them by name.
"I always thought of him like Lansing's maître d'. Everybody was welcome. He had a way of just getting along and bringing you on board."
Akerly said that out on the golf course he'd hit the occasional bad shot. Most people would pay no mind. Stevens saw it as a friendly taunting opportunity.
''Earl would come over and go, 'Are you serious?'" And l'd be like, 'I've got to listen to this all the way down the fairway. I'd better redeem myself.'"
"This is from a guy wearing a kilt and a Scottish hat."
Ted Terzian, founder of Lansing-based Capital Income Consultants and Stevens' friend for more than a quarter century, agreed.
"It didn't matter of you were a guy walking in off the street or the CEO of a big corporation, he's going to treat you the same," said Terzian, who's also a former assistant basketball coach at Sexton High School.
"I think that's why everyone liked the guy so much."
Lansing State Journal sports columnist Graham Couch contributed to this report.

A memorial Mass will be celebrated noon Wednesday at Immaculate Heart of Mary Catholic Church, 3815 S. Cedar St., Lansing. Visitation will begin one hour before. Arrangements by Tiffany Funeral Home.

Q: plotly choroplethmapbox doesn't let me subplot Using different sources, I wrote this code for subplotting two Colombian maps with a summarized quantity, on which I want to display on one side the log10 of the other, but it only works when I put both columns (col=1) on the same value (1). Here's the code:
locs = dfd['department']
for loc in counties['features']:
    loc['id'] = loc['properties']['NOMBRE_DPT']

fig = make_subplots(
    rows=1, cols=2, subplot_titles=['Normal distribution', 'Logarithm 10'],
    specs=[[{"type": "mapbox"}, {"type": "mapbox"}]]
)

fig.add_trace(go.Choroplethmapbox(
                    geojson=counties,
                    locations=dfd['department'],
                    z=dfd['cases'],
                    colorbar_title = 'First',
                    colorbar=dict(thickness=20, x=0.46),
                    marker=dict(opacity=0.75)), row=1, col=1)

Thanks!!!

A: Since you did not present any data, I have created a subplot of the examples in the reference, modified to fit your code. I think you need to configure the mapbox settings for each map as to why both are not showing up. I also need to set up an additional API token for mapbox as it is required in my environment. See here for details.

Q: Store data across two or more removable disks in Windows, perhaps also in Linux, for security I want to store some data in something like a stripped or spanned volume, or a RAID, but on flash drives. I'm basically trying to replicate this video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dougISKs2vQ) in Windows.
I know all the problems related to doing this; I don't care. If there's a better way to do this, I'll be happy to hear it, I just want the effect that the data on the drives is only accessable if you plug in all the flash drives; if one of them is lost, the data must be gone.
It would be amazing if there was a way to do this such that it would work on both Linux and windows, but at minimum I need a solution for Windows 10.
Thanks in advance


Is it really affordable care?
We need reform, just not Obamacare reform.
ObamaCare was rushed through in a single party effort. To quote Nancy Pelosi, "we have to pass the bill to see what's in it." It has now been predicted that Ohioans can expect their health care costs to go up dramatically when Obamacare goes into full effect. The name of the bill is The Affordable Care Act. Really?
I am not sure any piece of legislation needs to be more than 4,000 pages long. No wonder Congress didn't read it before passing it. Our country's healthcare policies should be understandable to the public (our tax code should be understandable too). My sense is that the government's takeover of health care will take decisions about our health out of our own hands and force us to navigate an unintelligible system. Reports are coming out across Ohio saying that premiums could rise as much as 80%.
I believe decisions should be made closest to those who are affected, which means you and your doctor. At the same time, public health policy must be responsive to the needs of the elderly and low-income Ohioans. We all deserve a system that we can understand, that is there for us when we need it and whose costs do not deter people from getting the care they need. The federal government is NOT the answer to health care reform.
Our family business is suing Obamacare and the HHS mandate. Click here for details on the case.


The "Expanded Reason Awards" award 100,000 euros (divided in four prizes of 25,000 euros) to those University researchers and docents that engage in "a dialogue, from their particular science, with Philosophy and/or Theology," explains Francisco de Vitoria University.
The ceremony to award the prizes will take place on Monday, September 24, in the Casina Pio IV, headquarters of the Pontifical Academy of Sciences, in the Vatican Gardens.
The celebration is being held in the framework of an International Symposium, which will reflect on the meaning and proposals for dialogue between Science, Philosophy and Theology in today's international university community. The winners of the 2nd edition, as well as members of the jury and finalists, are invited to this Congress. Registration for the rest of the participants opened on July 20 at http://expandedreasonawards.org/.
The International Jury of the 2nd edition of the "Expanded Reason Prizes," met in Madrid's Francisco de Vitoria University on July 18-19, 2018. The jury included Don Daniel Sada, Father Federico Lombardi, SJ, Don Rafael Vicuna, Don Stefano Zamagni, Don Andrew Briggs, Don Paolo Benanti and Don Javier Maria Paredes.
Javier Sanchez Canizares for "Singular Universe," of the University of Navarre, Spain.
Juan Arana for "Conscience Explained. Essays on the Limits of Naturalist Understanding," of the University of Seville, Spain.
Brad Gregory for "The Unintended Reformation: How a Religious Revolution Secularized Society," of Notre Dame University, Indiana, United States.
David Wilkinson for "Science, Religion and the Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence," of Durham University, United Kingdom.
Gonzalo Genova and Maria del Rosario Gonzalez for "Ethics for Engineers: Between Survival and Dignity," of Madrid's Carlos III University and the Universidad Complutense, Madrid, Spain, respectively.
John C. Cavadini, James Martin, Patricia Bellm and Christopher T. Baglow for "Catholic Educators to Engage in the Dialogue between Science and Religion, of Notre Dame University, Indiana, United States.
The object of the continuation of these Prizes, in addition to recognizing researchers and docents, is to create an "Expanded Reason Community,"which will provide a meeting place for all researchers pursuing Benedict XVI's intuition to expand the horizons of reason.
The 1st Edition received works from 170 universities and 30 countries, whose winners were from Universities in Argentina, the United States and Poland.

My girls are in a musketeer phase now, which means running around, shouting, pointing broomsticks at each other and attacking dastardly enemies. We thought playful swords would add a fun (yet safe) element to their adventures.
Flatten the ends of the cardboard tube and shape them into points.
Wrap the "blade" in aluminum foil for a shiny, metallic effect.
If you want to make belts to accompany the swords, start by cutting lengths of webbing. Add an adjustable slide at one end and a loop instead of a scabbard somewhere in the middle.
Then the kids can decorate their swords. Mine colored on the blade and glued jewels onto the handle.
After we finished, they ran off to protect the king/prince/some important guy. They are going to be musketeers next Halloween—finally a change from princesses. En garde!

Leeds United's loan player army had another mixed weekend, as the weather hit the fixture list hard.
The Whites have a total of seven players out on loan at the moment, a mixture of academy hopefuls looking to get first-team experience, out-of-favour first-teamers and then there is also the curious case of Yosuke Ideguchi.
Leeds' match against Middlesbrough was able to beat the weather - although many fans wish it hadn't after they suffered a 3-0 humbling at the Riverside - but further down the ladder, a number of games were called off meaning it was a weekend off for several Leeds loanees.
The defeat at the Riverside may well give hope to those that are currently farmed out, as several established first-teamers turned in poor performances which suggest there could be plenty of places in Leeds United's starting XI up for grabs next season.
Here's a look at how Leeds' loanees fared this weekend.
What has so far been a very good loan spell for the Pole hit the skids on Saturday, when FC Utrecht were soundly beaten 3-0 away at Eredivisie leaders PSV Eindhoven as their four-game winning streak abruptly ended.
Klich again started in the centre of midfield and despite racking up an impressive 89.8 per cent passing completion rate and having 76 touches, only made two tackles and was booked in the closing stages.
Utrecht remain in the top four, but are a whopping 24 points behind the leaders, who are running away with the Dutch title.
Finally, a win for Leonesa, who went into Saturday's game against Reus on the back of a four-match losing streak and are now a point away from safety.
Alas, there was no sign of Leeds loanee Yosuke Ideguchi in the matchday squad, as his disappointing time on the pitch in Spain continues.
The 21-year-old admitted in an interview with Marca earlier this week that he is still getting to grips with life in Europe.
"Little by little I am getting used to Cultural and, above all, to the city," he said."What has been most difficult is the change in the schedule of meals and dinners."
He has played just 109 minutes so far in Spain.
Fleetwood's visit to Oxford was postponed due to a frozen pitch and will now be played next month.
Grimsby's trip to Carlisle beat the weather, but the young Leeds forward remains out with a hamstring injury, so missed their 2-0 defeat.
The 18-year-old defender was unable to continue his impressive loan spell as Town's trip to Boston United was called off due to the weather.
Rovers extended their lead at the top of League One to five points, despite letting a 2-0 lead slip as they drew against Wigan on Sunday.
Swedish striker Antonsson was again a late substitute, playing the final 13 minutes as he still works his way back into the team following his recent injury.
On Tuesday evening he also had a late cameo, playing the final ten minutes in the 3-0 win at AFC Wimbledon.
Another match that fell victim to the bad weather, as the Brewers were denied the chance to get some more points on the board in their relegation battle, as their clash with Sheffield United was called off.
Are you excited for the arrival of Yosuke Ideguchi?

「ピュアコンバータ」 (Pyuakonbāta)
"Pure Converter"
Despite Flip Flappers' being, visually, an acid trip all around, this second episode actually played a lot of things by the book. Not the 'sucked into the surreal world of the sci-fi vacuum cleaner' part, of course, but the general strokes of the story may actually be familiar, especially to those of who have watched a fair deal of anime, of the magical girl genre in particular. 'Familiar' in more ways than one, for here's the strange-animal-mascot-thing that is a staple accessory for any aspiring magical girl. Now there's one for each of our protagonists—a brain in a jar for Papika, and sentient moss for Cocona. Unconventional mascots, to be sure, but there they are all the same, like a proper magical girl anime. They're even used in familiar ways, in a plotline about chasing down a lost pet that would normally be completely uninspiring. Meanwhile, Papika literally sounds the Call to Adventure, and Cocona literally rejects it. This is every story ever, right? In that, at least, Flip Flappers is very straightforward.
To see if Flip Flappers has more under the surface, though, to find real depth, I think we need to look at its influences, for that is where its commentary lies. Obviously this episode was heavily inspired by Alice in Wonderland (down the rabbit hole they went), but that's not too surprising since Japan as a whole seems enamored by Lewis Carroll and many is the anime that will toss in a reference for no real reason. Flip Flappers, though, seems to go one further, injecting an absurdist spirit into its entire setting. Pure Illusion is definitely dream-like, but even outside there are things that are just strange without explanation. How much of that is a deliberate design choice and how much is that is a lack of deliberate design choices is hard to say, like with modern art, but at least it's interestingly crazy either way and we should all just nod thoughtfully and pretend we get it. To be fair, there does seem to be a method to the madness. While Alice in Wonderland was arguably intended to be an entirely meaningless affair, as absurdism is oft, Flip Flappers does string some coherency together in both plot and themes. As far as I can tell, anyway.
So, what do we have from Flip Flappers? Alice in Wonderland, fairy tales, and magical girls. These all come from roughly the same place, really—children's stories. Amongst all the magical girl offerings this season I think Flip Flappers is about magical girls as children's stories, or at least frames itself as one. Perhaps it's not instantly recognisable in that form, considering flat out bizarre it likes to get from time to time, even dark and creepy, but a lot of fairy tales are also rather bizarre and dark and creepy. The sanitised, Disney versions less so, perhaps, but the Brothers Grimm certainly had no qualms about shocking the kids. Take Hansel and Gretel, which Flip Flappers had quite obviously alluded to. It has a cannibal witch living in a house made of sweets. Nightmarish? Definitely. But kids are going to be saddled with abstract fears regardless, so why leave them out of their stories? And so fairy tales, which are often also morality tales. Rather than pretending witches and monsters don't exist—children know witches and monsters exist, especially under their beds—they teach that, with wit and character, they can be overcome. And so it is with Flip Flappers. Cocona acknowledges that adventuring is scary and dangerous. Flip Flappers says: go anyway. It's hard not to see some Ghibli here, since we're talking about anime and children's stories. As I noted last week, Spirited Away plays with similar themes too. All that Japanese folklore stuff is actually pretty spooky. But hey, builds character.
Or perhaps I'm just blowing smoke and have no idea what I'm talking about. Flip Flappers certainly has no shortage of ideas that one can pick at and guess at some meaning from. For example, there's also a theme in this episode about instinct vs reason (the urge to gnaw, embracing insanity vs resisting the flow, Papika vs Cocona, anima and animus) that one can make plenty of hay out of, but we can debate what it all actually means until we're blue in the face. Flip Flappers is certainly in no hurry to explain anything itself. We're left to wonder by ourselves about last week's robot mugging, about whether it was all a dream. Cocona finally gets to meet the adults, who are usually supposed to have the answers, but if anything it's led to more questions. Perhaps Flip Flappers will be more forthcoming next episodes, or further down the line, but for now we're mostly left to discuss it amongst ourselves. Well, at least that's sort of interesting in its own way.
So far Flip Flapper is my favourite show this season and I can hardly say why. While watching it I'm most of the time unimpressed, but then you're thinking about it afterwards you notice how good it actual is. For example this episode I was "Aha, the have an urge to gnaw on hard thing"

Later: "Wait they have an urge to gnaw on hard things!":
BTW: Utskull is my favorite charater in this show.

about whether it was all a dream.
Only if we assume that Cocona is still dreaming. The first thing Papkia asks Cocona is if she's all right, and if those guys did anything bad to her. Upon getting Cocona's angry "I'm fine, stop bothering me" reaction, she considers the subject dropped and we hear no more about it (yet), but that doesn't mean it didn't happen. Unless you want to argue that all of this stuff isn't happening.
I was thinking Inception, and that we must go deeper.
I WANNA BE A SUPER SAIYAN!
Okay, now I'm bothered partly by the story because of how much it doesn't really elaborate how events transpired from the last episode and how stuff is happening now. Like outside of a line or two, you never see a full continuation from the capture last week. But this episode, you see Papika fly by that tram full of people, Yayaka asks a question and…they move on. Papika disguises herself to join the school, Yayaka asks a question and…they move on. These are seriously the least interested students I've seen in a while.
Also, this spooky painting hangs here, this character is probably foreshadowing stuff, but no time, moving on. They spend no time developing this world that I'd like to know about. And also, that instance with Cocona doing her "I'm mad at you, no more adventures" anger deal, it feels weird for her to do it this early in the show's run. I think the show thought so as well, because it gets resolved not long after that.
Those are things that bugs me because it reminds me a lot of that Sucker Punch movie which did a similar thing with its focus on style, but because it focused so much on making the effects look crazy and having a not real strong story, I got bored a half hour into it even if the action looked cool. It's just that if you don't have substance to back up the style, then it feels like I'm watching a Windows desktop effect. Interesting for a bit, but it grows stale.
That's something that really concerns me about Flip Flappers, it looks nice, but because it wants to be a little avant garde with its style and animation, even though it looks really nice, most of it is really coming off as fluff and "Let's do this just because." Nothing wrong with a little of it, but if that's all it is, then it loses me. But that's just me, maybe that's something other people are looking for, and more power to them. Me, I'm a bit hesitant if it keeps on the route it's on now.
Fuwa Fuwa
I dont mind stories that dont directly elaborate right out the gate. Flcl is one of the best anime of all time and it doesnt elaborate so soon. The conceit of this show is pure visual immersion. There's quite a bit being told to us, it's just a matter of parsing it all, which i can understand doesnt appeal to all people
sonicsenryaku
I'll admit the show has done clever ideas with throwing in nods to optical illusions, but I just feel a concern that it treads that line of clever and pretentious, and it can easily falls into the latter category if it throws in this imagery just because. But it's still early on, and it can still go to places with these ideas they have.
I agree about the whole danger of straddling the line between clever and pretentious that's why im going to give it some time to show its true colors. Right now i lean more on clever
I wasn't bothered as much by the lack of explanation because, as sonicsenryaku and you yourself note, it's early in the series, and I personally enjoy holding onto a pile of clues. It seems, to me, that Flip Flappers is not really interested in the traditional world building as much as constant sensory stimulation. There are plenty of things that are weird in this setting, but are taken into stride, and I think that plays into the general surrealism of the show. Whether that amounts to anything is something we'll have to see further down the line, of course.
A lot of foreshadowing this episode, from other characters that might get involved later, https://randomc.net/image/Flip%20Flappers/Flip%20Flappers%20-%2002%20-%20Large%2009.jpg
to concepts that might be clues as to what's to come.
Let's wait and see if Flip Flappers intends to build upon them. Because the show established interest in both the real world and its inhabitants and the acid trip that's Pure Illusion.

This season has turned out to be much stranger than previews foresaw.
Am pleased .There's quite a bit of cleverness in this show; currently it's all in the tiny things. I see enough tiny things to hope it will rise above merely clever.
Am I the only one who got bothered by the fact that Cocona's friend smells bad to Papika?
TitanAnteus
I wasn't sure, actually, if it was her friend that smelt bad or the nurse's room that smelt bad, but there's definitely something up with the friend, just judging by the OP.
Like you i suspected it was the nurse's office that smelled bad to papika; as if she was smelling the "unwellness" of people who go visit the place. If it was yayaka she was smelling, wouldnt she have reacted all those couple times she was around?
I like how this ep used the ideas of Jacob von Uexkull (who cocona must have named her rabbit after) an early 20th century German biologist who suggested the concept of umwelt, a theory that suggests that the reason why lifeforms perceive the world differently from another is based around the importance of that of which they imprint on, i.e what they mark as important in their environment. Von Uexkull purported that humans werent all that different from animals in how they imprint on the world and this ep of flipflappers makes a nod to that notion by having the girls and uexkull dance between the realms of human and animal when in pure illusion. It was a clever way of highlighting the occurring notion of perception that has been alluded to these two episodes and using it as a vehicle to make papika develop a tad bit as a character and solidify the cast a bit more. Stuff like this is what i mean when i say that the visuals speak for the narrative. There's something definitely cooking underneath all this and ima keep a close eye out and rewatch eps to get a better idea of what's going on in this narrative
Thank you very much for the additional info about Uexkull. While watching the episode I have thought that there must be some real world connection because the name choice for the mascot pet character seemed strange, even factoring in all the visual and thematic bizarreness. I really enjoy this series, I could even say that I enjoy this the most in this season so it's good to see that there are others who appreciate this kind of storytelling and visual symbolism. I think it has the potential to be something along the lines of Mawaru Penguindrom or Concrete Revolutio in telling a multi-layered story through symbolism with a heavy accent on visual perception, so I have high hopes for it.

This quality salon beauty trolley was designed with the stylist. It uses aluminum alloy material with easy assemble design. The plate of the trolley is big enough to put beauty equipments like IPL, Radio Frequency, Cavitation etc.
To conclude, this trolley is designed with plenty of room to set down the beauty machine, and with four convenient rolling wheels for moving the trolley.


Lesotho is divided into ten districts. The size (in square kilometres) and 2016 population estimates of these districts as well as their capitals are shown in Table 1 and their locations are shown in Figure 1 (Lesotho Bureau of Statistics 2018).
Lesotho's population grew between 1996 and 2016, however, the population grew at a much faster rate between 2006 and 2016 (7%) than it did between 1996 and 2006 (0.8%) (Table 2) (Lesotho Bureau of Statistics 2018). Lesotho's population growth rate over the whole period can also be attributed to Lesotho's total fertility rate (the average number of children born per woman) even though it decreased from 4.1 children per woman in 1996 to 3.2 children per woman in 2016 (Lesotho Bureau of Statistics 2018).
In spite of the increases in the size of the national population, not all of the district populations in Lesotho grew between 1996 and 2016 (Table 2) (Lesotho Bureau of Statistics 2018). In fact, between 1996 and 2006, the populations of the Leribe, Mafeteng, Mohale's Hoek, Quthing and Qacha's Nek Districts shrank in size, while between 2006 and 2016, the populations of the Mafeteng, Mohale's Hoek and Quthing Districts continued to shrink in size (Lesotho Bureau of Statistics 2018). These negative growth rates of District populations may be partially attributed to the significant growth rates of urban areas from 1996 to 2006 (43.8%) and 2006 to 2016 (62.7%) as well as inter-district migration (Lesotho Bureau of Statistics 2018).
The big change in the national population growth rate between 1996 and 2006 (0.8%), and 2006 and 2016 (7%) may be attributable to greater access to antiretroviral medications (and thus fewer HIV/AIDS-related deaths) and better data collection. Lesotho has one of the highest rates of HIV/AIDS in the world (Ministry of Health and Social Welfare 2016; CIAT and World Bank 2018; Gwimbi et al. 2013; FAO 2005). In 2015, it was estimated that 25% of Lesotho's population were HIV positive (Ministry of Health and Social Welfare 2016; CIAT and World Bank 2018; Gwimbi et al. 2013; FAO 2005). However, the percentage of HIV-positive people (adults and children) receiving antiretroviral treatment in Lesotho increased from an estimated 6% in 2006 to 42% in 2015 (Ministry of Health and Social Welfare 2016).
Furthermore, the big change in the national population growth rate between 1996 and 2006, and 2006 and 2016 may also be partially attributed to the overall decrease in Lesotho's infant mortality rate (the number of deaths per 1,000 live births of children under one year). While Lesotho's infant mortality increased from 74 deaths per 1,000 live births in 1996 to 94 deaths per 1,000 live births in 2006, it decreased thereafter to 53 deaths per 1,000 live births in 2016 (Lesotho Bureau of Statistics 2009, 2018). Additionally, Infant and child mortality rates in Lesotho are lower in urban areas than in rural areas and the size of the population living in urban areas has grown significantly between 1996 and 2016 (Lesotho Bureau of Statistics 2018). Moreover, there are strong links between the infant mortality rate and the level of education attained by the mother – higher levels of education are linked to lower levels of infant mortality (Lesotho Bureau of Statistics 2018).
Lesotho's government spends approximately 14% of its available public funds on education (UNDP 2017). The results of this spending can be seen in Lesotho's national literacy rate, which in 2016 was estimated to be 97% (Lesotho Bureau of Statistics 2018). Additionally, Literacy rates in Lesotho are estimated to be higher for women (98.6%) than for men (90.6%) (UNDP 2017).
Linked to literacy rate are the levels of education achieved by the population. For both primary and secondary school, the rate of enrolment is higher for girls than for boys (UNDP 2017). Enrolment in secondary school is 22% for boys and 36% for girls (UNDP 2017). For Basotho aged 15 and over in 2011, Table 3 gives a breakdown of the highest level of education achieved (Lesotho Bureau of Statistics 2013). Table 3 shows that 52.17% of Lesotho's population have some or completed primary schooling in 2011, while 33.25% have some or completed secondary schooling, and 1.87% have earned a post-school qualification (Lesotho Bureau of Statistics 2013). A further 9.92% of Lesotho population (15 and older in 2011) gave their education level as 'Not applicable', 'None', 'Non-formal education' or 'Other' (Lesotho Bureau of Statistics 2013).
Access to education and the quality of education are limited in Lesotho by poverty, insufficient early childhood development and education, misallocation and inefficient use of financial resources, and corruption and mismanagement of educational resources and organisations (UNDP 2017).
Linked to education is employment. In Lesotho, the working-age population (classified as those aged ten and over) constituted an estimated 1,481,652 individuals in 2011 (Lesotho Bureau of Statistics 2013). This was equal to approximately 78.22% of Lesotho total population at the time (Lesotho Bureau of Statistics 2013). Of the working-age population, an estimated 36.21% were employed, 3.36% were unemployed and the remaining 60.43% were classified as 'not economically active' (Lesotho Bureau of Statistics 2013). Similarly to South Africa, it can be deduced that Basotho who are unemployed and who are not actively seeking work are included in the 'not economically active' classification (Lesotho Bureau of Statistics 2013).
It is estimated that 75.22% of Lesotho's working-age population live in rural areas, while the remaining 24.78% live in urban areas (Lesotho Bureau of Statistics 2013). Furthermore, according to the Lesotho Bureau of Statistics, unemployment is marginally higher in urban areas (3.40%) than in rural areas (3.34%) (Lesotho Bureau of Statistics 2013). Additionally, the percentage of the working-age population classified as 'not economically active' was higher in rural areas (63.42%) than in urban areas (51.36%) (Lesotho Bureau of Statistics 2013).
Given the high levels of poverty (an estimated 60% of the population live below the poverty line in Lesotho) and malnutrition (30% of the population are vulnerable to food insecurity), the unemployment rate in Lesotho (as calculated by the Lesotho Bureau of Statistics) does not give full picture of the situation (CIAT and World Bank 2018; Mekbib et al. 2017; World Bank 2016; Ministry of Local Government and Chieftainship Affairs 2015; Gwimbi et al. 2013).
Other evaluations estimate that Lesotho's unemployment rate has fluctuated between 23% and 28% over the last decade (up until 2018) (Damane and Sekantsi 2018; The World Bank 2018). The large difference between the unemployment rate estimated by the Lesotho Bureau of Statistics and other evaluations may be due to the use of a broader definition of 'unemployment' by the other evaluations that includes individuals who are unemployed, not actively seeking work, and not at school or university.
Many young Basotho migrate to South Africa for work, notability in the mining and construction industries (Ministry of Local Government and Chieftainship Affairs 2015; CIAT and World Bank 2018). In 2011, it was estimated that 135,285 Basotho were living in South Africa (Lesotho Bureau of Statistics 2013). Migration of Basotho to South Africa is so substantial that it has made Lesotho one of the most migration-dependent countries on Earth (UNDP 2017). It is estimated that money sent back to Lesotho, from Basotho working in South Africa, accounted for about 25% of Lesotho gross domestic product in 2009 (UNDP 2017). However, a Gini coefficient of 0.53 in Lesotho indicates that income distribution in Lesotho is not equal (UNDP 2017). This is one of the ten highest Gini coefficients in the world, although it is still lower than South Africa's Gini coefficient of 0.66 (UNDP 2017; Bhorat 2015).
More men have migrated to South Africa than women.
Infant mortality is higher in males than females.
Life expectancy is higher for women (59.5 years in 2016) than for men (51.7 years in 2016).
Even though there are more females than males in Lesotho, a household is twice as likely to be male-headed than female-headed (Ministry of Local Government and Chieftainship Affairs 2015). This may partially be due to absent males (those that have migrated for work) still being considered the head of the household (Ministry of Local Government and Chieftainship Affairs 2015).
Lesotho is a largely patriarchal society and gender inequality is an issue (UNDP 2017; Ministry of Local Government and Chieftainship Affairs 2015). Women are more likely than men to face gender-based violence (which seems to be increasing), and the are also more likely to be poor, unemployed and HIV positive (UNDP 2017). In 2014, it was estimated that 86% of Basotho women face gender-based violence in their lifetimes (UNDP 2017). Furthermore, drought-induced gender-based violence is a common occurrence in all ten districts in Lesotho (UNDP 2017).
Gender inequality in Lesotho also occurs from inter alia childhood marriages, cultural practices that prevent women from inheriting property, unequal control and access to economic opportunities, unequal access to resources, sexual violence, and the persistence of traditional gender roles and cultural norms (UNDP 2017). Despite this gender inequality, women account for the majority of the agricultural labour force and their contributions to economic development and sustainable livelihoods in Lesotho is substantial (UNDP 2017).
An example of the gender inequality in Lesotho is that until the Legal Capacity of Married Persons Act of 2006 was enacted, women were not allowed to own fixed property under Lesotho's customary law except through their husbands (Ministry of Local Government and Chieftainship Affairs 2015). Furthermore, the enactment of the Land Act of 2010 revoked past "discriminatory barrier of access to land by married women and widows" (Ministry of Local Government and Chieftainship Affairs 2015, 13). However, "obsolete" customary laws are still prevalent despite being contradicted by these newer laws and the majority of Basotho men do not see women as their equals (Ministry of Local Government and Chieftainship Affairs 2015, 15; UNDP 2017). Furthermore, the political representation of women in Lesotho is still under 30% – the minimum level recommended by the Southern African Development Community (SADC) (UNDP 2017).
In spite of this lack of political representation, one of the three commissioners for Lesotho's Independent Electoral Commission (IEC) is a woman, and the Speakership of the National Assembly and the Governor of Central Bank of Lesotho are both women (UNDP 2017). However, negative perceptions and unequal gender norms still persist, and they "present a challenge to gender equality in representation and participation in public decision-making forums" (UNDP 2017, 9).

Q: Change size of outlier labels on boxplot in R I have generated two side by side boxplots and labeled the outliers using the car package in R. While this works well, I dont know how to change the size of the outlier labels. I can change the size of the outlier point, but not the label.
Edit: Here is a subset of my data
gene    low_cov scaffolds
AA001   10  150
AA002   15  20
AA003   2   160
AA004   20  144
AA005   30  122
AA006   1   80
AA007   50  500
AA008   16  200
AA009   18  164
AA010   4   124

Here is my current code:
gene = read.csv(file.choose(), header=T, sep='\t', row.names=1)
library(car)
par(mfrow=c(1,2))
Boxplot(gene$low_cov, data=gene, labels=row.names(gene), cex=0.2)
Boxplot(gene$scaffolds, data=gene, labels=row.names(gene), cex=0.2)
par(mfrow=c(1,1))

Any ideas?

A: You can change the size of the outlier symbols using "outcex". E.g., "outcex=2"

A: I think you can firstly plot without the outliners, and then manually add them. In that way, you can almost do whatever you want to do to change the style, shape, color, etc. I will use the base function boxplot here:
> data <- c(10,15,2,20,30,1,50,16,18,4)
> B <- boxplot(data, outline=FALSE, ylim=c(0, 55))
> points(B$group, B$out, type = "p", pch=23)


This incredible video shows a hidden cave system normally flooded by water - not far from a popular cafe.
The inside of the caves, known as Underhill, are part of the Hoe Foreshore and were caught on camera by regular freediver and video editing enthusiast Spyke O'Hanlin.
Spyke, from Plymouth, runs a YouTube channel called Plymouth GoPro Heroes and describes the caves as being "just down from the Terrace Cafe".
He said: "We go in there at high tide all the time but for this video I take the viewers in there at low tide and get a decent look at it. You won't believe how big it is!"
Spyke works as a promoter for Club Envy for his day job and says he started producing the videos because hardly anyone knows caves like this exist. They are close to Plymouth Hoe.
He added: "I'm Plymouth born, been here forever. I've done different things since I've been around. I'm a promoter for Club Envy, I organise community groups and events, most recent was Pokemon Go Southwest Trainers, it became the biggest local group in the country.
"But while doing all this I found video editing and film-making in 2011 and fell in love. So much so I went to Plymouth College of Art and earned myself a film degree graduating last year.
"I make these particular videos partly because I love it, partly because having this videos will be something good to look back on in years to come and partly because we're all from the same town and hardly anybody knows these exist!
"The GoPro Heroes videos mainly focus around my friend and I up on the hoe having a good time and with underwater adventures thrown in."


Roxas and Company Inc., - Press Materials - Roxas Holdings Gets Another P2 Billion-Loan for Future Expansion, Ethanol Business Roxas and Company, Inc.
Listed sugar conglomerate Roxas Holdings, Inc. (RHI) recently obtained another P2 billion-loan facility from Bank of the Philippine Islands (BPI) and Rizal Commercial Banking Corporation (RCBC) to complete the P5.8-billion capital it needs to bankroll its capacity expansion and entry into the ethanol sector.
RHI Senior Vice President for Finance and Treasurer Asuncion Aguilar said the Group was given a loan facility of P1 billion by BPI, P500 million by RCBC and another P500 million by BPI Asset Management and Trust Group.
RHI secured the loan facilities together with its sugar units Central Azucarera Don Pedro, Inc. (CADPI) in Batangas and Central Azucarera dela Carlota, Inc. (CACI) in Negros Occidental.
Last week, RHI and its sugar units secured a P4.7 billion-loan facility from Banco De Oro-EPCI Bank, Inc. to bankroll the company's expansion of its sugar milling and refining subsidiaries to increase its revenue-generating capability and enhance its cost-competitiveness.
The total loan facilities from BDO, BPI and RCBC amount to P6.7 billion.
"The funds we need would only amount to about P5.1 billion. We are grateful for the respective contingencies granted by the three institutions. This is clearly a testimony to their confidence in our company," Ms. Aguilar said.
This is in preparation for the entry of low-priced imported sugar that will enter the country in 2010 under the ASEAN (Association of Southeast Nations) Free Trade Agreement.
"P4.7 billion of the capital will be allocated for the purchase of factory equipment from two sugar mills abroad – one in the United States and one in Australia - while P1.2 billion will be used to set up the ethanol plant and the rest, to refinance existing debts," Ms. Aguilar explained.
"There is no stopping us from rolling out our strategic initiatives now that we have obtained the necessary funds," RHI Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Pedro Roxas said.
"We envision this expansion program to place us in a competitive advantage and in the process, maximize value for our shareholders," he added.


The Highlanders will be without their Southland All Blacks Jimmy Cowan and Jamie Mackintosh for their Super 14 rugby match against the Hurricanes on Friday after both failed to recover from injury.
In a major blow for the southern franchise, medical staff deemed captain Cowan hadn't recovered sufficiently from an elbow injury suffered in the first-round loss to the ACT Brumbies last weekend.
The NZPA reports that Sean Romans will start at halfback with Cowan's brother Scott coming onto the reserve bench.
Likewise, prop Mackintosh was still feeling a knock to the knee and his place at loosehead goes to Chris King, with Anthony Perenise onto the bench.
Centre Jason Shoemark will be captain, having filled the role for the last 50 minutes against the Brumbies after Cowan and Mackintosh had both left the field.
The only other possible change from last week is on the left wing, where Fetu'u Vainikolo has been bracketed with Kendrick Lynn.
Vainikolo is under investigation by the New Zealand Rugby Union after an early morning incident at a Dunedin bar last Saturday morning.
A misconduct hearing is expected to take place this week.
HIGHLANDERS: 15 Israel Dagg, 14 Ben Smith, 13 Jason Shoemark (C), 12 Johnny Leota, 11 Fetu'u Vainikolo\Kendrick Lynn, 10 Daniel Bowden, 9 Sean Romans, 8 Steven Setephano, 7 Alando Soakai, 6 Adam Thomson, 5 Hayden Triggs, 4 Josh Bekhuis, 3 Clint Newland, 2 David Hall, 1 Chris King. Reserves: 16 Jason Rutledge 17 Anthony Perenise 18 George Naoupu 19 Tim Boys 20 Scott Cowan 21 Jayden Hayward 22 Kendrick Lynn\Brett Mather.

Sofitel Mumbai BKC unveils So SPA
April 15, 2012: Sofitel Mumbai BKC has launched its signature So Spa for guests. Spread across 6,000 square feet, the So Spa hosts 6 treatment rooms. One of these is an exclusive couple's spa area with a private Jacuzzi and other amenities.
The So Spa treatments draw inspiration from a French gourmet restaurant menu. The Starters and Desserts last for 30 minutes, the Main Course lasts between 30 and 90 minutes. There are a few specials and menu suggestions that last up to 150 minutes per treatment.
Exclusive signature treatments include the So Rejuvenating Facial, So Exhilarating massage and Le Diamantaire Facial by Gemology, exclusive to Sofitel Mumbai BKC. Designed by French designer, Isabelle Miaja, So Spa at Sofitel Mumbai BKC mesmerizes with its beauty. The interiors of the spa are bright and pleasant with controlled lighting, predominantly displaying the colour gold, which is a shared passion by the French and Indians alike. The angular placements, tilt-glass style and use of gleaming gold remind one of the designer's fervour towards gold and diamonds.
Ms Miaja has created the tree of life in the spa area, which is symbolic of the body renewing its life by means of the mysteriously rejuvenating spa treatments. "Golden drops of luxury" float above the water fountain and along the far wall. Water features and landscaping elements are installed to create a harmonious feel with natural elements, soothing the senses while relaxing the mind and body.
The So Spa has products from Gemology and Cinq Mondes, two globally established French brands entering the Indian market for the first time. Cinq Mondes is a leading French Spa company and their products are inspired by ancient beauty and health traditions of the world. The Exfoliant Graines et Fleurs has been formulated from a traditional cosmetic preparation used by Balinese princesses since the 17th century, it refines the skin's texture, purifies and brightens the complexion.
Gemology products are inspired by life's essential minerals and provides a range of skincare that captures the richness of precious and semiprecious stones, which help achieve young and radiant skin. The Gemology Crème au Diamant anti-ageing cream is made using a signature ingredient, authentic 0.25-carat diamond in a 1.7 oz jar, to help improve the skin's strength and glow.

Costa Rica's economy is 64.8 percent free, according to our 2008 assessment, which makes it the world's 49th freest economy.
Its overall score is 0.2 percentage point higher than last year. Costa Rica is ranked 11th out of 29 countries in the Americas, and its overall score is higher than the regional average.
Costa Rica scores well in investment freedom and government size. The economy ranks above average in six of 10 areas. Personal and corporate tax rates are moderate, and tax revenue is fairly low as a percentage of GDP. Other factors, including trade freedom, where it boasts a low average tariff rate, also score moderately well.
Costa Rica could improve its monetary freedom and financial freedom. State-owned banks dominate the financial sector. The court system, while transparent and not corrupt, is extremely time-consuming and complicated.
Costa Rica is a democracy but does not enjoy robust democratic capitalism. Since 1980, economic growth has been hurt by staggeringly high interest rates, heavy debt service requirements, 18 percent average annual inflation, and a bloated public sector. Former President Oscar Arias (1986–1990) was narrowly elected for a second time in February 2006 and pledged to break up state monopolies in telecommunications, utilities, petroleum, refining, banking, insurance, and social security pensions. His gradual and heavily regulated "openness" approach to privatization, however, has lacked momentum. Arias promises both to balance the budget and to ratify by referendum the already signed Central America–Dominican Republic–United States Free Trade Agreement in 2007. Costa Rica is the only CAFTA–DR partner for which the agreement is not yet in force. Hard-left Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez has supported opponents of the agreement.
The overall freedom to start, operate, and close a business remains limited by Costa Rica's national regulatory environment. Starting a business takes an average of 77 days, compared to the world average of 43 days. Obtaining a business license requires less than the world average of 234 days. Bureaucratic procedures discourage entrepreneurial activities, and the process for closing a business is relatively lengthy.
Trade Freedom – 81.8% Costa Rica's weighted average tariff rate was 4.1 percent in 2005. Despite an electronic one-stop import and export window and other improvements, customs processing procedures remain complex and bureaucratic. Sanitary and phytosanitary requirements, some export controls, service market access restrictions, peak tariffs, export promotion programs, and issues involving the protection of intellectual property rights add to the cost of trade. An additional 10 percentage points is deducted from Costa Rica's trade freedom score to account for these non-tariff barriers.
Costa Rica has moderate tax rates. The top income tax rate is 25 percent, and the top corporate tax rate is 30 percent. Other taxes include a general sales tax and a tax on interest. In the most recent year, overall tax revenue as a percentage of GDP was 13.6 percent.
Total government expenditures, including consumption and transfer payments, are moderate. In the most recent year, government spending equaled 20.5 percent of GDP. A state-led economic development model has generated relative prosperity, but the complicated structure of state agencies is costly. Privatization is slow in the face of popular opposition.
Inflation is relatively high, averaging 12.1 percent between 2004 and 2006. Relatively unstable prices explain most of the monetary freedom score. The government controls the prices of goods on a basic consumption list, including energy, petroleum, telecommunications, and water. An additional 10 percentage points is deducted from Costa Rica's monetary freedom score to adjust for measures that distort domestic prices.
Costa Rica has one of Central America's better investment climates and treats foreign and domestic investors equally. A few sectors, such as insurance, telecommunications, hydrocarbons, and radioactive materials, are reserved for state companies; a few others, such as broadcasting and electrical power generation, require participation of a certain number of Costa Ricans. There are no restrictions on land purchases, although some expropriation of land owned by foreign investors has occurred. Political and economic stability and a skilled workforce are inducements, but litigation and dispute resolution can be protracted and costly. There are no controls on capital flows, but reporting requirements are mandatory for some transactions. There are no restrictions or controls on the holding of foreign exchange accounts, readily transferable and available at market clearing rates, by either residents or non-residents.
The 15 private banks in Costa Rica's government-influenced financial system operate freely, but the three state-owned banks dominate the sector and account for 54 percent of assets. About half of the private banks are owned by foreign investors, and dollar-denominated lending is common. Nearly all Costa Rican banks have significant offshore banking operations. Credit is available on market terms, but the government retains considerable influence over lending, especially for projects deemed to be in the public interest. Accounting is transparent and compatible with international norms. The state-owned Instituto Nacional de Seguros monopolizes insurance, but other institutions may sell its underwritten policies. The pension system is partially privatized. Capital markets are small, and most trading involves government debt.
The judicial system can be slow and complicated. Contracts are generally upheld, and investments are secure, but it takes an average of more than 1.5 years to resolve a contract-related legal complaint. Resolution of squatter cases can be especially cumbersome; the system quickly recognizes rights acquired by squatters, especially when land is rural and not actively worked. Enforcement of laws protecting intellectual property rights is often ineffective.
Corruption is perceived as present. Costa Rica ranks 55th out of 163 countries in Transparency International's Corruption Perceptions Index for 2006. The government does not assign nearly enough resources to enforce anti-corruption laws, regulations, and penalties. Some foreign firms have complained of corruption in the administration of public tenders.
Relatively flexible employment regulations could be improved for further employment opportunities and productivity growth. The non-salary cost of employing a worker is high, but dismissing a redundant employee is relatively costless. Regulations on modifying working hours are flexible.

Q: Laravel - comment system I am trying to build a comment system for my app, in which I have student courses and lessons. Each course has different lessons and I wish for each lesson to show the different comments left in the comment section. However I am stuck at storing the comment only for lesson with id = 1 and I don't know where is the issue. Have tried several solutions, some of them didn't even work.
I have set the relationships in the modules:
class Course extends Model{

    protected $fillable=['name', 'language',  'description', 'semester_id','user_id'];

    public function lesson(){
        return $this->hasMany(Lesson::class,'courses_id');
    }
}

class Lesson extends Model
{
    protected $fillable=['courses_id', 'lesson',  'description'];

    public function course(){
        return $this->belongsTo(Course::class);
    }

    public function comments(){
        return $this->hasMany(Comment::class);
    }

}

class Comment extends Model
{
    protected $fillable=['user_id', 'comment',  'lesson_id'];

    public function lesson(){
        return $this->belongsTo(Lesson::class);
    }
}

For each course I am displaying the corresponding lessons and for each lesson the comments.
CommentsController:
public function store(Request $request, $id)
    {
        $this->validate($request, array(
            'comment' => 'required|min:5|max:3000'
        ));

        $user_id = Auth::id();

        $lesson = Lesson::find($id);

        $lesson_id = $lesson->id;

        Comment::create([
                'user_id' => $user_id,
                'comment' => $request->comment,
                'lesson_id' => $lesson_id
        ]);

        return back();
    }

View:
        <form id="comments-form" method="POST" action="{{url('/lessons/show/'.$course_id.'/'.$lesson->id.'/comments/'.$lesson_id)}}">

            {{ csrf_field() }}

                <textarea rows="10" name="comment" id="comment" placeholder="Comment"></textarea>

                <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Add Comment">

        </form>

            @foreach($comments as $comment)

Name: {{$user_name}}

E-mail: {{$user_email}}

Comment: {{$comment->comment}}

            @endforeach

Thanks in advance :)

A: In your comment controller I would print out what the incoming id is, or log it somehow. This will make sure that you are receiving the correct lesson id and that the form you submit the comment on isn't only sending $id=1. If that looks ok then I'm not sure what you need the following code
$lesson = Lesson::find($id);
$lesson_id = $lesson->id;

You should instead be able to do $lesson_id = $id;

Four officials from a CPL franchise pulled up by anti-corruption officers

Four officials from a CPL franchise were pulled up by anti-corruption officers during the 2019 season. One of them, thought to be either part of or close to the ownership structure, was the main focus of a report made to anti-corruption officials by a player from the franchise. The man was detained at Trinidad airport, not allowed to travel with the team during the early part of the season and ultimately was asked to leave the tournament.
The individual in question did not make a direct approach to the player who eventually reported him. Instead, ESPNcricinfo understands, the nature of the interactions between them had made the player wary. Sources say that the player believed he was being groomed as someone who could eventually be approached to carry out corrupt activities, which is what led him to reporting him to the anti-corruption authorities,
It is unclear how influential or senior the individual in question is, or whether he has a stake in the ownership of the franchise, but he did present himself to the player as part of the ownership group.
There are believed to have been several interactions, in the casino of the hotel where the team was staying, that prompted the player to go to the anti-corruption officer. There are said to be a few one-on-one meetings the player was asked to attend with this individual, by which stage the player was so uncomfortable and suspicious he had taken to recording the meetings surreptitiously on his phone.
No direct offer was made, though in one of the one-on-one meetings, talk had begun to turn to performances in an upcoming game.
"Any such incident which is reported to the CPL [officials] is taken very seriously and investigated thoroughly," a CPL spokesperson said. "Our policy is that we do not comment on anti-corruption related matters or incidents. We are firmly committed to making sure the tournament's integrity is protected. We are very confident that our anti-corruption team, in conjunction with the ICC colleagues, make sure this remains the case."
Incidentally, the ICC ACU, which had been providing anti-corruption cover every year from the first season of the CPL, was not appointed this time around.
When the ICC's ACU was employed, it is believed between four to six officers manned the tournament. ESPNcricinfo understands that for the 2019 season, the CPL appointed an independent person, who had previously worked as a part-time consultant for the ICC's ACU. It is believed that the measure was a step to cut down on costs.
"There was an anti-corruption officer for both legs of the tournament with players given a briefing at the start of the event to reconfirm the process needed if an approach is made," a CPL spokesperson said.
It is believed the ICC has asked for a detailed report from the CPL officials. The ICC has been concerned about ownership structures at a number of domestic T20 leagues in various countries. Usually the organisers vet the owners through their respective anti-corruption units, or the ICC ACU, from an integrity point of view.

Dominic Bozzelli comes one INCH from PGA Tour history with near-ace on par 4
By Alex Myers
A wild, windy Saturday at the Valero Texas Open produced a double-hit chip by Bud Cauley and nearly the second ace on a par 4 in PGA Tour history by Dominic Bozzelli.
RELATED: Now THIS is the hole-in-one story to end all hole-in-one stories
The rookie almost pulled off the trick on TPC San Antonio's 318-yard 17th hole, hitting his tee shot to one INCH. Unfortunately, there wasn't video of Bozzelli's incredible close call, but here's what it looked like on PGA Tour Shot Tracker:
The tap-in eagle got Bozzelli to three under on his round (he started on the back nine), but a disappointing 43 on his closing nine dropped him near the bottom of the leader board.
Actually, Bozzelli wasn't the only player to hit one tight on the drivable par 4. Here's Nick Taylor's fantastic shot a little later in the day:
But alas, neither could quite pull off an unlikely hole-in-one on Saturday, meaning Andrew Magee remains the only player in PGA Tour history to record an albatross on a par 4. Magee made his ace at the 2001 FBR Open on the 17th hole at TPC Scottsdale, banking in his tee shot off the putter of Steve Pate, who was on the green in the group ahead.
Maybe Bozzelli and Taylor shouldn't have waited for the green to clear.

The jail had two deaths by suicide in both 2016 and 2017. That's the most in a single year since the jail was built in 1992. The jail has taken some steps meant to prevent inmate suicide, including replacing all of the bed sheets in the facility with blankets that are more difficult to tie.

A quarter of employers have decreased their targeted graduate vacancies in the face of an uncertain global economy, a national survey has found, writes Tony Tysome.
Fears of an impending recession have helped reduce the number of graduate vacancies by 5.5 per cent since July, according to a report on the findings compiled by the Institute for Employment Studies and commissioned by the Association of Graduate Recruiters.
The report, Graduate Recruitment in an Uncertain Labour Market , says that one in five out of 66 AGR member employers surveyed said it had deferred graduate posts for an average of 12 months, while one in ten had withdrawn graduate job offers.
The most common reason given by employers for reducing graduate recruitment was the economic climate. Contributing factors included the impact of the terrorist attack in the United States, but since the information collected covers the past 12 months, other issues such as a decline in the manufacturing sector may have had more influence on the results.
Carl Gilleard, chief executive of the AGR, said: "Employers are having to make tough decisions; withdrawing job offers is only used as a last resort. The deferment approach appears to be gaining in popularity, and while it is not ideal, it does help companies to maintain a return on their investment and soften the blow for the graduate."
The survey found that the services sector has made the biggest cutbacks, with 33 per cent of employers in this category reducing their number of graduate vacancies. Financial and legal firms were the most stable.
* A study to be published next week has found that 81 per cent of accountancy graduates get a job immediately after university, compared with 68 per cent of all graduates.
The study, What Do Graduates Do? , is launched at a conference on Monday, hosted by the Careers Services Unit, the Universities and Colleges Admissions Service and the Association of Graduate Careers Advisory Services.

Mason to Defend Championship Against Mantequilla and Laszlo
PPW No Limits Champion Charles Mason is no stranger to having to face multiple opponents.
He won the vacant No Limits Championship in a 20 person battle royal at Juiced in February, and had to defend his championship in a Fatal 4 Way match at Throwdown on 5th Street in March. Now, at PPW Super Show II, he must defend his championship against one of the men in the same match as him in March, Laszlo Arpad, as well as a fresh challenger in Mantequilla.
The issues between the champion and challenger Laszlo started at Juiced, when the No Limits Championship was first up for grabs in a 20-man rumble that was won by Mason. Towards the end of the match, Laszlo believed he had won, but "The Billionaire Playboy" reentered the fray and dumped Laszlo over the top rope, winning the rumble and the No Limits Championship.
The issues between the two escalated further when Mason came out to "We are the Champions" as his new theme music and threw a lit cigar at the chest of Laszlo during his entrance, which caused "The Hungarian Hero" to snap and wail on Mason's chest with some wicked chops.
With tensions at a boiling point, the two of them, as well as Mantequilla, will meet for the No Limits Championship once again.
Mantequilla will be the X-Factor in his contest. The fan favorite who loves butter will look to be opportunistic and pick his spot whenever he can. As the reigning Crown Jewel Champion in House of Glory, the masked luchador would love to add some more valuable hardware to his collection by winning the No Limits Championship.
Will Laszlo finally win the championship he has been deprived of since he arrived in PPW? Will Charles Mason leave Hazleton with the gold still around his waist? Or will Mantequilla surprise both men and be the one who leaves champion at the end of the night?
Find out the answer to these questions and more as Pennsylvania Premiere Wrestling presents Super Show II! Also featured at the show will be Melina, Teddy Long, Simon Gotch, Gillberg, Nyla Rose, Disco Inferno and plenty of others! Don't miss the best show in Hazleton on Saturday, April 27th!
