Live It Up (Official Song 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia) [feat. Will Smith & Era Istrefi] – Nicky Jam

One of reggaeton's most prolific artists, the Pina Records-affiliated Nicky Jam has collaborated over the years with a long list of performers, including superstars such as Daddy Yankee and RKM & Ken-Y, and he has released plenty of solo material as well, including popular albums such as Vida Escante (2004) and The Black Carpet (2007).
Born Nick Rivera Caminero on March 17, 1981 in Boston, Massachusetts, Jam moved with his family to Barrio Obrero, Puerto Rico at age ten. His father is Puerto Rican and his mother is Dominican. Like many of his generation, Jam initially got into the reggaeton scene during the '90s and made a name for himself on the mixtape circuit. Most notably, he can be heard on some of the seminal mixtapes helmed by DJ Playero around the turn of the century. Early solo albums such as Haciendo Escante (2001), featuring fellow DJ Playero protégé Daddy Yankee on the title track, established him as a rising star amid the reggaeton scene, but it wasn't until Vida Escante (2004) that he broke through to a mainstream audience, particularly once the album was re-released with bonus material in 2005. His follow-up album, The Black Carpet (2007), proved similarly popular, spawning his biggest hit to date, "Gas Pela," featuring RKM.
Despite Jam's success, he felt he could do more, and decided to move to Colombia in 2010. It proved to be just the career rejuvenation he needed, resulting in a parade of underground hits including "Tu Primera Vez," "Curiosidad," and "Voy a Beber." By 2014 he was charting consistently again, first with the single "Travesuras" and then in early 2015 with "Si Tu No Estas." Both songs appeared on Greatest Hits, Vol. 1. In the spring of 2015, his duet with Enrique Iglesias on "El Perdon" became his first single to hit number one on the Latin charts, and crossed over to the pop charts. After winning accolades at the 2015 Latin American Music Awards and Latin Grammy Awards, as well as the 2016 Lo Nuestro Awards, Jam worked on his first studio album since 2007. Fénix appeared on Sony Music in 2017. The album hit the Top 30 of the Billboard 200, Jam's first appearance on the chart. The single "X," featuring J Balvin, appeared in 2018. ~ Jason Birchmeier

BCC proposes $2,85 billion supplementary budget
BULAWAYO City Council on Friday announced a proposed $2,85 billion supplementary budget to sustain its operations for the remainder of this year.
The council also announced a $17,1 billion proposed budget for 2021, lamenting the ballooning debt owed by ratepayers which hit the $441,6 million mark, from $182,9 million in January this year.
The announcement followed virtual budget consultations in the city's 29 wards which started last week.
Announcing the budget proposals on Facebook, council finance director Kempton Ndimande said to complete the remaining three months, council required additional $2,85 billion.
He said the budget deficit was necessitated by the economic upheavals being experienced in the country, which he said also justified the $17,1 billion proposed budget for 2021.
Ndimande said the 2020 budget could not last to the end of the year as it was eroded by exchange rate variations, price increases, inflation and human resources expenses, thereby leaving the council with no option, but to propose a supplementary budget.
"The supplementary budget is necessitated by the unstable exchange rate movement and the inflation now at 837%," he said.
He said when council started the budget process for 2020, petrol was selling at $11,76 per litre, but now it is at $103, while diesel was $12,42, but now it is $90. Water chemicals were priced at $11,03, but now they are selling at $83 per kg.
The council pegged the proposed revenue budget on property tax at $269 334 569, rentals at $44 898 327, solid waste management at $84 555 500, water at $184 843 365, sewerage at $94 950 415 and other expenditure heads at $55 807 595.
Ndimande said on the $17,1 billion 2021 budget, the capital budget expenditure is expected to be $10 billion while the revenue budget will be $7,1 billion.
He also said the amounts the council owed to creditors and the debt that ratepayers owe the local authority were impacting negatively on service delivery.
"We are owed the sum of $441,6 million by ratepayers. In January, we were owed $182,9 million, but at present the debt jumped to $441,6 million," Ndimande said.
"We also owe creditors the sum of $401,8 million and this has been due to the debtors and we appeal to ratepayers to pay up their debts to council so that we are able to service the debt we owe creditors and service the city."

Lance Goddard and Jess Towers' summer music festival will have a 500 cap on daily attendees.
Jun. 24, 2015 11:00 a.m.
Beaver Creek will only be shaking half as hard as organizers Lance Goddard and Jess Towers want but they're staying optimistic.
"I think it's a really good thing that we're going to be able to go through with the Shaker this year," said Towers following the a special meeting of the Alberni-Clayoquot Regional District board where the decision was made.
Despite being optimistic, Towers said that the duo were hoping for 1,000 attendees and will have to recalculate their expenses to see how they can still make a profit. After covering their expenses, all proceeds from the Five Acre Shaker will go towards the Zatzoo Project which benefits youth in music in the Alberni Valley.
Beaver Creek director John McNabb and his advisory planning commission had recommended a max attendance of 500 due to concerns over safety and complaints from local residents.
McNabb said he received 80 Beaver Creek complaints. However, both the Beaver Creek Volunteer Fire Department and the RCMP had okayed 1,000 people at the event.
The Five Acre Shaker will take place at Lance Goddard's Beaver Creek property from August 14-16, 2015. Tickets will be on sale soon. Visit the Five Acre Shaker Facebook page for more information.

South Texas congressional candidates continued to see to boost in fundraising during the final weeks before the state's Tuesday party primaries.
Rep. Lamar Smith, R-San Antonio, who is in a spirited GOP primary race and faces attacks from Internet groups over his online piracy bill, raised nearly $50,000 over the past month alone.
Democratic Rep. Lloyd Doggett of Austin, running in a newly drawn, minority-opportunity district based in San Antonio raised $33,800 in the closing weeks, according to Federal Election Commission reports.
And state Rep. Pete Gallego, D-Alpine, raised $23,000 over the last month for his primary battle with former U.S. Rep. Ciro Rodriguez, D-San Antonio, who received $2,000 in contributions.
On the eve of the elction, two San Antonio candidates, Smith and Rodriguez, are currently under attack by outside groups.
A billboard with the message, "Don't Mess with the Internet," is up near Smith's office in San Antonio off Interstate Loop 410. It was erected by Fight for the Future, a Boston non-profit group.
The group erected the billboard in response to Smith's Stop Online Piracy Act, which was shelved in the House following an outpouring of protest from large Internet companies like Google.
Rodriguez is currently under attack by the League of Conservation Voters, which launched a $200,000 negative TV advertising and direct mail campaign attack the former congressman for his vote against an energy bill supported by Democratic leaders.
But Rodriguez has raised only $2,000 in large contributions this month, largely because he has shut down his fundraising operation to concentrate on retail politics, said D'Mitri Kosub, the campaign manager.
Gallego, however, has amassed thousands in recent weeks in contributions from Democrats like state Rep. Joaquin Castro, D-San Antonio, who is also running for Congress, and Henry Munoz, a major fundraiser, and the National Education Association.
"We are just continuing to raise money to run our campaign," said manager Lonny Paris, who touted the contribution of the NEA as a ringing endorsement by America's teachers for Gallego is his run for Congress.
Doggett has received most of his late money from Austin contributors and Washington PACs, according to FEC reports.
The campaign has spent funds on printed materials and TV ads, said spokeswoman Ashley Bliss-Herrera.
Primary opponents Sylvia Romo, the Bexar County tax assessor collector, and Maria Luisa Alvarado, both of San Antonio, reported no large contributions last month.

Sixteen years ago, The New York Times called Frédy Girardet "The World's Greatest New Chef." This and other accolades made the Swiss cook famous. Like pilgrims flocking to a shrine, gourmets from around the world began to beat a daily trek to Girardet's restaurant in Crissier, a farm community turned suburb outside Lausanne and a 45-minute drive from Geneva.
But what about today? Does the legendary Swiss cook live up to his reputation? Is he still great? Yes, he is. The 57-year-old Girardet is still creative and driven, and he continues to serve a daring and inventive modern cuisine that defies easy description. Three-star Michelin chefs like Paul Bocuse and Pierre Troisgros have hinted that Girardet is the best.
Everyone seems to agree. In the last year alone, the restaurant served 20,000 patrons. They spend an average of 250 Swiss francs ($200, including wine and tip) a person. Girardet accepts cash only and no credit cards. Even in a recession, Girardet books dinner two to three months in advance for Friday and Saturday nights, although it's easier to find a table during weeknights and lunch on short notice. A table often opens up at the last minute due to a cancellation. Girardet is closed Sunday and Monday, three weeks at the end of July and August, and three weeks around Christmas.
In an era when many great chefs are away from their kitchens to develop restaurants elsewhere or lend their fame to various causes and money-making ventures, Girardet hovers like a mother hen over each dish that leaves the kitchen. The word "perfectionist" doesn't do justice to the almost maniacal attention Girardet brings to the task of serving 40 to 60 people for lunch and the same number for dinner, 220 days a year.
An example of his rigorous control over the kitchen is his demands placed on the timing of dishes. He notes when the order was placed, when the kitchen received it, when the chefs finished the dish, when the waiter picked it up and when it was placed on the table. His theory: No guest should have to wait more than 20 minutes for a dish.
To first-time customers, Frédy Girardet, his staff and his food can be intimidating. Although the restaurant decor is surprisingly low key and unimpressive, with salmon-colored tablecloths, comfortable wood chairs and an unassuming multicolor wall-to-wall carpet, entering this restaurant is like walking into an artist's studio. It's best to let Girardet reveal his work, dish by dish. Thus, it is unwise at Girardet's to order à la carte. When you go to Girardet's choose the menu. Or better yet, just ask the chef to do whatever pleases him. Girardet will return the compliment by throwing all his fanatical devotion into a meal that should dazzle you. (And he won't gouge, but charge about the price of a regular five-course menu.) There are customers who have been at Girardet's 50 times and eaten 300 dishes and swear that they haven't been served the same dish twice.
He is constantly tasting and touching up dishes, improving them and sometimes creating new ones as they are being prepared by his team of chefs. Between tastings, Girardet cleanses his palate by eating big chunks of bread. "You must taste, taste and taste. Many chefs have stopped tasting. That's horrible. You must keep your palate fit," he says.
The wine list reflects the methodical mind of its creator. It's not a large list, but well-chosen. Among them, Domaine Jacques Parent in Pommard, Georges Mugneret in Vosne-Romanée, Leon Beyer in Alsace, Domaine de Beaucastel in Châteauneuf-du-Pape and Château Grillet, also in the Rhône Valley, Domaine Leflaive and Pierre Morey for white Burgundies.
Cigar smokers are welcome to light up after the meal and when other diners have finished their main courses. Girardet offers a good selection of only Cuban cigars. In total, there are some 20 different cigar brands in the restaurant's humidor.

            }
        }
        sb.append(s.charAt(i));

    }
    return sb.toString();
}

A: First, you should care for correctness. Your innermost loop, while (s.charAt(i) == ' '){ i++; } doesn't check the boundaries and will break once your code enters it, which will happen if there are multiple spaces at the end of the String.
Besides that, the time complexity is O(n) and you can't improve the complexity. This doesn't mean, that there aren't things you can't improve. The complexity only tells you, how a solution scales with large numbers, i.e. larger Strings in this case.
Consider:
static String removeSpaces(String s) {
    // check preconditions for fast exit before creating new objects
    if (s == null || s.isEmpty()) {
        return "";
    }
    // use StringBuilder for pure local operations to avoid synchronization costs
    StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
    for (int i=0;i<s.length();i++) {
        sb.append(s.charAt(i)); // the code is always the same for all characters
        // now skip runs of spaces
        if(s.charAt(i)==' ') {
            while(i<s.length()-1 && s.charAt(i+1) == ' ') {
                i++;
            }
        }
    }
    return sb.toString();
}

First of all, this code is simpler, which might turn out to be more important than minor improvements in execution speed, however, most environments tend to execute smaller loops faster.
However, the time complexity still is O(n)…

But note that you can simplify the entire operation to return s.replaceAll(" +", " ");…

A: Update according to the comment of @Dukeling
In the worst case you will have about n^2 loops, where n is the length of the string. Therefore the complexity is O(n^2). Of' course this is the worst case and since the inner loop just skips spaces n^2 loops will almost never happen. Therefore maybe you should check the amortized complexity.

A: The complexity of the program is O(n), as you are iterating every character of the string only once.
You can use the below code removing the consecutive space, keeping one space. It uses StringBuilder instead of StringBuffer.

*

*You don't need extra if condition once you encounter the white space.

*don't increment the i in for loop, because you are also incrementing in while loop.

*check the i < length, before check white space in while loop.

static String removeSpaces(String s){
  StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
  if (s == null){
    return "";
  }
  if (s.length() == 0){
    return "";
  }
  for (int i=0;i<s.length();){
    if (s.charAt(i) == ' '){
      sb.append(" ");
      while (i < s.length() && s.charAt(i) == ' '){
        i++;
      }
    } else {
      sb.append(s.charAt(i));
      i++;
    }
  }
  return sb.toString();
}

Note : This will not remove the leading and trailing space completely. Only multiple white spaces are removed and only one is kept.

A: There is not much you can do on complexity but you can fix and improve the implementation :

*

*If you don't require synchronization use a StringBuffer.

*use a variable to store the length of your String instead of calling s.length() every time.

May is National Museum Month, with International Museum Day on May 18, and there's no doubt that Chicago holds some impressive institutions for historic exploration and scientific discovery. However, there's more to discover beyond Museum Campus.
Whether searching for an intriguing look into cultural arts, an impactful experience with historic treasures, or an educational outing for the kids, these neighborhood museums will give you a side of local charm with your academic excursion.
Conveniently located just down the street from Downtown Naperville, the DuPage Children's Museum features hands-on exhibits, encouraging children of all ages to learn through playful exploration. Featuring exhibits such as "Make it Move" and " Creativity Connections," the museum focuses on science, math, and art to promote critical thinking skills among curious children. And if all that learning works up an appetite, the museum also has a cafe featuring organic and sustainable foods alongside compostable packaging. Be sure to check out the museum calendar for weekly events and performances.
Nestled in the trendy urban neighborhood River North, the Museum of Broadcast Communications collects historic and contemporary radio and television content. The 62,000-square-foot facility houses a National Radio Hall of Fame Gallery, working radio and television studios, an array of radio memorabilia, and also a Svengoolie exhibit for fans of the Chicago horror movie host. Until Dec. 31, 2018, the museum is hosting a special exhibit — "SNL: The Experience." The exhibit immerses museum-goers in the 40 years of SNL history, allowing you to relive some of the show's most iconic moments and encounter its biggest stars.
As the only Native American owned and operated arts center in Illinois, the Trickster Art Gallery is dedicated to the preservation and awareness of contemporary (post-1960s) Native arts. The facility includes several gallery spaces, a library room, a tech center, an outdoor porch area, and a garden. The gallery is within walking distance of the Schaumburg Town Square, making the institution central to many neighborhood events and festivals.
Truly "a museum in motion," The Illinois Railway Museum features an operating demonstration railroad that runs restored locomotives and historic trains across its expansive grounds. Seeking to convey the importance of railway transportation in both Chicago and the U.S., the museum is comprised of several display barns that showcase various historically significant train cars. Located in the quiet town of Union, the railway museum makes for a lovely day trip out of the city.
Showcasing 3,000 years of Mexican culture, the National Museum of Mexican Art is located in Chicago's Pilsen neighborhood and houses one of the country's largest collections of Mexican art. The museum galleries display 10,000 works of art, and it also hosts theater, dance, and music performances that share the richness of Mexican culture. May is also a significant month for the museum as it hosts its annual Sor Juana Festival to honor the accomplishments of Mexican women. Admission is free, but donations are welcome.
In 1984, Mayor Donald Stephens donated his extensive private collection of M.I. Hummel figurines to the Village of Rosemont, sparking the creation of a museum. These porcelain figurines are based on drawings by Sister Maria Innocentia Hummel and are commonly referred to as Hummels. The Donald E. Stephens Museum of Hummels is currently the largest display of M.I. Hummels in the world, inviting you to peruse more than 1,000 rare Hummels and ANRI woodcarvings.
The Illinois Holocaust Museum and Education Center is an impactful experience that provides a new understanding of life in wartime Europe and reveals the immense value of what history can teach us. Skokie has the largest per capita population of Holocaust survivors outside of Israel, and this community spent 30 years developing the museum before its opening in 2009. The Karkomi Holocaust Exhibition alone features more than 500 artifacts, including rescued religious texts and a German rail car used in Nazi deportations. Three rotating exhibitions offer new perspectives on contemporary issues such as race, refugees, ethics, and culture. The newest exhibition, the Take a Stand Center, is an immersive, holographic experience where you can meet virtual Holocaust survivors as you move through four interactive galleries. While the Karkomi Holocaust Exhibition is not recommended for children under the age of 12, the rest of the museum is kid-friendly and even includes a youth exhibition specifically designed for kids ages 8-12.

Matthew's Italian "escapades" as Philippe referred to them involved the Italian Wars of 1494 -98. This interlude involved quite a cast of characters - the Borgia pope Alexander VI, his son Cesare Borgia, the Medici family, Fra Savonarola, and Ludavico Sforza (daVinci's foremost patron).
Charles VIII of France, at the urging of Ludovico Sforza, the Duke of Milan, invaded Italy, initially to press his claim to the Kingdom of Naples.
The French stormed the Italian peninsula - taking over Mordano after a brutal siege - and set their sights on Florence. Piero, the son of Lorenzo the Great, basically handed over some key fortifications and a big wad of cash, to save Florence from Mordano's fate.
This unrest gave Savonarola, the Dominican friar who had the bonfire of the vanities (it destroyed all but three Botticelli paintings), the leverage to convince the Florentines to overthrow the de Medici's and help the Piagnoni to power - it also antagonized the Borgia pope who was trying to keep a lid on Savonarola. The Florentines soon learned that life in Savonarola's Florence was not what they hoped for.
It was not long after that the League of Venice was formed, which joined forces with the Pope and other anti French forces, including an alliance with Spain. Charles soon retreated to France, leaving a garrison in Naples which was ultimately overrun.
Suffice it to say, Matthew would have been persona non grata in Florence just as Philippe had intimated, thanks to the mess that Charles VIII 's invading force left behind!
Time to feed those daemons!

"all flesh shall see the salvation of God"
"The Messiah is very close to us, and during these days of Advent we should get ready to receive him in a new way when Christmas comes."[i] We can do this by going to confession and inviting other to join us. In many dioceses, throughout Advent there are several penance services at churches, in addition to normal confession times. Sadly, many people have not been to confession since their first reconciliation. One of the precepts of the Catholic Church is to go to confession at least once a year. "In many cases, bringing our friends closer to Christ means taking them to receive the sacrament of Penance, one of the greatest treasures Our Lord has left to his Church. Perhaps no way of helping friends is as great as making it easy for them to go to Confession."[ii]
Why is repentance difficult for us and for others? There are various reasons as to why people do not want to go to confession, but it boils down to two main factors: the loss of the sense of sin and being paralyzed in our sin. Indeed, Pope Pius the XII said, "the greatest sin of the century is the loss of the sense of sin."[iii] Many people don't repent because they do not know sin and aren't aware that they are sinning. Those who know they are sinning may still not go to confession because they are paralyzed in their sin, fearful of coming back in the mercy of God. "Every day we meet friends, colleagues, relatives who have lost their sense of what is most essential to their very existence. They feel unable to go towards Our Lord, and they walk along the paths of life as though paralyzed, because they have lost hope. We have to show them the way to the humble cave in Bethlehem. There they will find the meaning of their lives. To do this we have to know the way ourselves."[iv]
What is the sense of sin and how do we lose it? Blessed Pope John Paul II wrote in 1984, "Over the course of generations, the Christian mind has gained from the Gospel as it is read in the ecclesial community a fine sensitivity and an acute perception of the seeds of death contained in sin, as well as a sensitivity and an acuteness of perception for identifying them in the thousand guises under which sin shows itself. This is what is commonly called the sense of sin. This sense is rooted in man's moral conscience and is as it were its thermometer. It is linked to the sense of God, since it derives from man's conscious relationship with God as his creator, Lord and Father. Hence, just as it is impossible to eradicate completely the sense of God or to silence the conscience completely, so the sense of sin is never completely eliminated. Nevertheless, it happens not infrequently in history, for more or less lengthy periods and under the influence of many different factors, that the moral conscience of many people becomes seriously clouded. 'Have we the right idea of conscience?' - I asked two years ago in an address to the faithful – 'Is it not true that modern man is threatened by an eclipse of conscience?' Too many signs indicate that such an eclipse exists in our time. This is all the more disturbing in that conscience, defined by the council as 'the most secret core and sanctuary of a man,' is 'strictly related to human freedom...For this reason conscience, to a great extent, constitutes the basis of man's interior dignity and, at the same time, of his relationship to God.' It is inevitable therefore that in this situation there is an obscuring also of the sense of sin, which is closely connected with the moral conscience, the search for truth and the desire to make a responsible use of freedom. When the conscience is weakened the sense of God is also obscured, and as a result, with the loss of this decisive inner point of reference, the sense of sin is lost. This explains why my predecessor Pius XII one day declared, in words that have almost become proverbial, that 'the sin of the century is the loss of the sense of sin.'"[v]
Why do we personally have to know the way to repentance ourselves? If we do not know the way, how in the world are we supposed to lead others? It would be like the blind leading the blind. "We must have interior life. We have to talk to Jesus and strive, ourselves, to improve in those very things in which our friends have to improve. We must have an unshakeable hope in the supernatural means."[vi] Our holiness will be the greatest witness to others.
How do we grow closer to Christ? "Prayer, mortification (fasting), and good example will always form the basis of the Christian apostolate. The more petition for others is backed by the sanctity of the suppliant, the more certain it is to be answered."[vii]
How can we help our friends go to the Sacrament of Penance? "Sometimes we will have to help them, with tact and kindness, make a good examination of conscience. Sometimes we will accompany them to the place where confessions are being heard. At other times again, a word of encouragement and affection will suffice, accompanied by a brief and properly-prepared instruction about the nature and value of the sacrament. What joy each time we get a relative, a colleague, a friend, to receive the sacrament of divine mercy! This same joy is shared in Heaven by our Father God and by all the blessed."[viii]
What happens in the Sacrament of Penance? "In the Sacrament of Penance man is reconciled with God and with the Church. It is one of the most intimate and personal of human acts, and brings about many fundamental changes in the sanctuary of each man's conscience… In the Sacrament of Penance Our Lord sorts out all those misplaced elements; in addition to pardoning the sins, he restores to the soul its lost order and harmony."[ix]
How do we prepare ourselves and help others prepare for the Sacrament of Penance? "We say in the Act of Contrition, 'I firmly resolve, with the help of Thy grace, to confess my sins, to do penance, and to amend my life.' The Sacrament of Reconciliation includes five steps: Examination of Conscience, Sorrow for Sins, Resolve to sin no more, Confession to a priest, and Penance. We must have the desire or resolve to avoid sin and amend our lives."[x]
Can we force someone to go to confession? No. One must want forgiveness and at the very minimum be sorry for their sins in order to be forgiven. The old saying "You can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink." We can present God's love and mercy and try and help lead them into a want to be forgiven, but if a soul is not ready then God will not force His way in.
What are the benefits of leading others to penance? "Whenever anybody makes a sincere and repentant Confession it is a moment of rejoicing not only for the penitent but for everybody…The saints in Heaven, the holy souls in Purgatory, and the Church which is still on pilgrimage through this world rejoice together every time an absolution is given."[xi]
We have to realize that sin is never just a personal, private thing that only affects a singular person—it affects everyone. "The greatest tragedy in any man's life is sin, because the result of sin is a far-reaching disorder which starts in the very center of his being and spreads outward to affect all those around him."[xii] We should listen to the words of Saint Paul when he said, "If one member suffers, all suffer together; if one member is honored, all rejoice together."[xiii]
To drive the point home, our late Holy Father, Blessed Pope John Paul II said, "This is the other aspect of that solidarity which, on the religious level, is developed in the profound and magnificent mystery of the 'Communion of Saints', thanks to which it has been possible to say that 'every soul that rises above itself raises up the world'. To this 'law of ascent' there unfortunately corresponds the 'law of descent'. Consequently one can speak of a 'communion of sin', whereby a soul that lowers itself through sin drags down itself, the Church and, in some way, the whole world. In other words there is no sin, not even the most intimate and secret one, that exclusively concerns the person committing it. With greater or lesser violence, with greater or lesser harm, every sin has repercussions on the entire ecclesial body and on the whole human family."[xiv]
How does Confession benefit the Church and others as a whole? We must never forget we are all one body of Christ and see the joyous benefits of going to the Sacrament of Penance and the joy the whole Church has not just here on earth, but also in Heaven. "…when a Christian goes to Confession, the whole Church receives an incalculable benefit. Every time a priest pronounces the words of absolution, She rejoices and is mysteriously enriched, because every Confession, through the Communion of Saints, sends blessings which resound through the whole Mystical Body of Christ."[xv]
"In the intimate life of the Church…every member supports all the others with his good works and merits, and is at the same time supported by them. We all need to be, and in fact we all are, continually receiving a share of the spiritual benefits which are common to us all. Our own merits are helping our fellow men in every part of the world…To loosen' the chains of sin is at the same time to tighten the bonds of brotherhood. Ought we not to go to this Sacrament more joyfully and more regularly when we know that by the very fact of making a good Confession we are helping so many other Christians, and especially those who are closet to us?"[xvi]

"Totally conflicted": Trump attacks Mueller, Rosenstein on big-reveal day
Ed MorrisseyPosted at 12:01 pm on December 7, 2018
As curtain-raisers go, Donald Trump's morning blast turned out to be nearly comprehensive. Trump ripped special counsel Robert Mueller and deputy AG Rod Rosenstein as "totally conflicted" in a series of tweets. He also accused others of having conflicts, including a Mueller deputy whom Trump claimed worked at the Clinton Foundation at one point:
Robert Mueller and Leakin' Lyin' James Comey are Best Friends, just one of many Mueller Conflicts of Interest. And bye the way, wasn't the woman in charge of prosecuting Jerome Corsi (who I do not know) in charge of "legal" at the corrupt Clinton Foundation? A total Witch Hunt…
….Will Robert Mueller's big time conflicts of interest be listed at the top of his Republicans only Report. Will Andrew Weissman's horrible and vicious prosecutorial past be listed in the Report. He wrongly destroyed people's lives, took down great companies, only to be……..
…..overturned, 9-0, in the United States Supreme Court. Doing same thing to people now. Will all of the substantial & many contributions made by the 17 Angry Democrats to the Campaign of Crooked Hillary be listed in top of Report. Will the people that worked for the Clinton….
….Foundation be listed at the top of the Report? Will the scathing document written about Lyin' James Comey, by the man in charge of the case, Rod Rosenstein (who also signed the FISA Warrant), be a big part of the Report? Isn't Rod therefore totally conflicted? Will all of….
…the lying and leaking by the people doing the Report, & also Bruce Ohr (and his lovely wife Molly), Comey, Brennan, Clapper, & all of the many fired people of the FBI, be listed in the Report? Will the corruption within the DNC & Clinton Campaign be exposed?..And so much more!
Usually, Trump tweets out his Mueller blasts in an extemporaneous fashion. These seem more precisely calibrated as a pre-buttal — and for good reason. Mueller will show more of his hand today, as Politico notes; Mueller will unveil more documents today related his moves on two former Trump associates:
President Donald Trump lashed out Friday morning against the Mueller investigation, outlining what he called "big time" conflicts of interest within the special counsel's office and engaging in his most direct attacks on his deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, suggesting he is "totally conflicted."
The president's attacks, delivered in a flurry of early-morning posts to Twitter, come on what is expected to be a busy day for special counsel Robert Mueller, whose office is expected to release new filings on former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort and on the president's former attorney, Michael Cohen.
Plus, don't forget who's coming to Capitol Hill today:
Former FBI Director James Comey is testifying before members of the House Judiciary Committee behind closed doors on Capitol Hill today.@mkraju has the latest: https://t.co/WWfz8VsJ7T pic.twitter.com/3izLULR7AS
— CNN Newsroom (@CNNnewsroom) December 7, 2018
That's a lot of news to get out in front of. The bit about Corsi refers to Jeannie Rhee, whom Corsi says demanded "false testimony," according to a complaint Corsi recently filed with acting AG Matt Whitaker and with the inspector general of the Department of Justice:
Corsi, an associate of Roger Stone, alleges Mueller's team tried to pressure him to admit that he lied about his efforts to learn WikiLeaks' plans ahead of the release of Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta's stolen emails in October 2016.
Corsi insists he never lied. He says he forgot about the messages he sent to Stone and others seeking to find out what damaging information WikiLeaks had on the Clinton campaign — and later amended his testimony after he found them.
"The special counsel and his prosecutorial staff threatened to indict Dr. Corsi, who is now 72 years old, and effectively put him in jail for the rest of his life, unless Dr. Corsi would provide the false testimony that they demanded, even after being informed that the testimony desired would be false," says the 78-page document. "This is criminal."
Rhee has represented Hillary Clinton in the past, although it's not clear that she was ever an officer in the Clinton Foundation. The Washington Times reported in July 2017 that her status as a donor to Democrats raised questions early on about Mueller's judgment in selecting his team:
Among the donors are Jeannie Rhee, a former deputy assistant attorney general for the Justice Department's office of legal counsel, who donated $5,400 to Mrs. Clinton's presidential campaign PAC Hillary for America. She gave $4,800 to President Obama's campaign.
While working at the WilmerHale law firm with Mr. Mueller, Ms. Rhee was on the legal team that represented the Clinton Foundation. She was also part of the team that defended Mrs. Clinton against lawsuits over her email practices as secretary of state.
So Rhee's old news, too, and a tad exaggerated in terms of the Clinton Foundation, anyway. Trump's tweets serve to offer a basic outline of the formal rebuttal he promised that Rudy Giuliani would deliver … whenever Mueller finishes his report to Rosenstein:
We will be doing a major Counter Report to the Mueller Report. This should never again be allowed to happen to a future President of the United States!
The subtext here is that there won't be anything else coming from the White House except for the "counter report." Trump went after Rosenstein again this morning in a way that suggests he thinks there will be some damage that comes from it — and that Rosenstein will act on the report by giving it to Congress. (That's almost a slam-dunk prediction anyway.) By attacking Rosenstein's credibility, he might be laying the groundwork for a termination, but Trump had plenty of grounds for that two months ago and passed on the opportunity. This seems much more intended to paint Rosenstein as a political player with "conflicts" as a means of undermining his credibility when and not if he's in place to act on the report. Besides, there wouldn't be a need for a "counter report" if Trump was going to block the Mueller report in some fashion.
The same applies even more to Mueller's status. Trump explicitly states that he's going to wait for Mueller to finish his report, a very strong signal that — despite some handwringing in the Senate — Trump has no plans to fire the special counsel. It wouldn't do any good anyway, as Mueller would simply go to the House Democrats to testify to his findings at this late stage. Better to keep Mueller and his grand jury under the authority of the DoJ and answerable to its directives about, ahem, indicting a sitting president.
Of course, none of this might be ready to transpire before William Barr takes over as AG. At that point, Mueller would have to answer to Barr, not Rosenstein, as the superior officer at the DoJ. Mueller still has a few weeks to go before the Senate can act on Barr's nomination, but the clock is now ticking loudly on Rosenstein's tenure as the supervisor of the special counsel probe. Mueller has to know that, too.

Great job, as always, Big C! It was fun to relive our adventures via The Buzzard! I had forgotten about the frog! What a fun time we had. Thank you again so much for going to the flower mart with me. It really helped bringing all the flowers in the hotel also. Our waiter, Aurtro, was my waiter the whole time. He asked for me.

The Street Fighter and Hammer Horror coming from Shout! Factory
Joe Corey | November 10, 2018 | News | No Comments
While it's getting cold outside, Shout! Factory is coming out with quite a few hot titles to make sure you don't sweat the snow forecast. During the San Diego Comic Con, the company made a big announcement that they were bringing Hammer horror films to their Scream Factory line. They had picked up the titles that 20th Century Fox had distributed in the USA back in the mid-'60s from the English studio. Now the first three titles have been announced for once a month releases starting in December. First up is Dracula: Prince of Darkness that marked the return of Christopher Lee as the legendary vampire since he originally flashed fangs in the Horror of Dracula. The film is noted in that Lee's Dracula speaks no lines. The January release is Plague of Zombies which was original released as part of a double feature with Dracula: Prince of Darkness. Back in 1966 a few theaters gave out vampire fangs and zombie eyes to lucky viewers. The film has a town being struck by a plague except the recently departed are being turned into zombies to work in the mines. This is more about soul control and not brain eating. Finally in February arrives The Vengeance of She. This was the follow up to She that starred Ursula Andress (Dr. No). The new She is
Olinka Berova (Lemonade Joe). She gets mentally sucked to an ancient city of of Kuma to reincarnate Andress. John Richardson returns in this tale of a journey to gain immortality.
Equally exciting news is that Shout Factory is putting out all three of Sonny Chiba's Street Fighter films as part of a boxset on Shout Select in February. You might remember these Chiba kick butt classics playing as a triple feature in True Romance. This set includes The Street Fighter, Return Of The Street Fighter and The Street Fighter's Last Revenge. In True Romance the triple feature wrapped up with Sister Street Fighter. Why isn't that here? Turns out Sister Street Fighter was part of its own trilogy with Etsuko Shihomi. Maybe if we're lucky that will be coming in 2019.
Currently there's no news of the bonus features for the Hammer or Street Fighter releases. InsidePulse will post them when they the press release arrives. Here's the descriptions of the Blu-rays from Shout! Factory:

A few days ago we informed you that the producer of the Dynasty Warriors series, Akihiro Suzuki, mentioned that soon they would reveal some details about Dynasty Warriors 9. Well, thanks to the official account of the franchise we know that the good news will arrive on May 11.
Through its Twitter account, the producer Akihiro Suzuki has revealed that the first details of Dynasty Warriors 9 will arrive next week on May 11. The date corresponds with the publication of the latest issue of Famitsu, probably the reveal will therefore be carried out through the pages of the magazine.
That's right, next week we will get the first details about Dynasty Warriors 9. The company was not specific about how they will release the information, but it is likely that the disclosure will be through Famitsu, the most popular publication in Japan.
At the moment there is no more information, but we assume that the game will come to PlayStation 4, as it is the platform that receives more support from the company. Dynasty Warriors 9 could also arrive on Nintendo Switch, as we remember Koei Tecmo has mentioned that they plan to support the hybrid system of Nintendo. However, we remind you again that there is no official comment on this.
Dynasty Warriors 9 was unveiled last December with a short teaser, Koei Tecmo has not, however, revealed more details about the new episode of the musou series, in a few days we will know definitely more about it.
Fortunately, very little is needed for the revelation of Dynasty Warriors 9, so we will only have to wait a few days. For now, tell us what are your expectations with the next title in the series in the comments below?

Middle names in English-speaking places appeared very gradually. They were virtually unheard of before 1700, and the earliest example of a documented middle name was about 1646. Middle names continued to be quite rare until the 1800's. After about 1850, they came to be customary in most places.
With a custom that was becoming ever more popular, it is difficult to tell whether someone who used a middle name as an adult actually started out with it, especially if there is a birth record that leaves it out. Of course, there could be reasons why a middle name bestowed upon a child might be omitted from official records, such as a clerk who felt these "new-fangled" middle names were a silly affectation and simply refused to write them down.
Matheson�s Special Report on Surnames of Ireland shows surnames with five or more entries in the birth indexes of 1890, and the main counties in which they were found. The birth rate was 1:44 at that time so you can estimate the number of people of the name at that time. On microfiches, available from A. J. Morris for a very reasonable sum.

This house is one of the best examples of notable Omaha architect Thomas Kimball's residential designs. It was built in 1905 for his mother Mary. The most striking characteristics of the house are the three stepped gables with parapets that accent the steeply pitched, clay tile roof. The steeped main parapet on the front facade is reminiscent of the Dutch Colonial style. Mary Rogers Kimball was the wife of prominent Union Pacific Railroad official Thomas Lord Kimball. She was a founder of the Creche, a home for children, and a strong supporter of the fine arts in Omaha. To encourage amateur dramatics, she had a small theater built into the third floor of her house on St. Mary's Avenue. Mary Kimball lived in the house from 1905 until her death in 1930 at the age of 97.

Hints and tips for planning an accessible journey.
Buses will stop at each of the timetabled city stops/zones within the CBD. For all other stops, please hail the bus. Customers who use a white cane or are accompanied by an assistance dog, the driver will stop and announce the bus route number. Reflective Ticket Wallets are issued to passengers who have a physical disability that is not obvious as they do not use a mobility device. These wallets enable you to indicate to approaching drivers that you require the ramp to be deployed in order to board bus. You can request a reflective ticket wallet through the Adelaide Metro InfoLine and it will be posted to you.
If you require a ramp to board, you may request this. Please note that you must be independently able to board or travelling with a companion who can assist you.
Train platforms have a boarding patch (indicated by a large painted white-on-blue International Symbol for Access) where you should wait for assistance when the train is due from the driver or Passenger Service Assistant (PSA). These boarding points are located at the point where the first door of the leading car will stop. In some cases you may be able to board directly as there may be no step or large gap, but if assistance is required the driver or PSA will be available to deploy the access ramp.
At Adelaide Railway Station as you enter the accessible gate, the Customer Service Officers manning the gate can arrange for boarding assistance on request.
Reflective Ticket Wallets are issued to passengers who have a physical disability that is not obvious as they do not use a mobility device. These wallets enable you to indicate to approaching drivers that you require the ramp to be deployed in order to board the train or tram. You can request a reflective ticket wallet through the Adelaide Metro InfoLine and it will be posted to you.
Trams platforms have a boarding patch (indicated by a large painted white-on-blue International Symbol for Access) where you should wait for assistance when the tram is due from the driver or Passenger Service Assistant (PSA). These boarding points are located at the point where the first door of the leading car will stop. In some cases you may be able to board directly as there may be no step or large gap, but if assistance is required the driver or a PSA will be available to deploy the access ramp.
Please note that all tram stops are accessible except for the City South stop.
When funding is available the City South Tram stop will be reconfigured to provide better accessibility and amenity for our customers.
Position your mobility aid with wheels straight so you can 'drive on' via the ramp through the vehicle doorway. Ensure the stability brakes on of your mobility aid and safety for you and staff by keeping the wheels straight and not turning on the ramp.
Drivers and staff are not able to physically assist with boarding or loading prams, luggage or mobility devices.
All Adelaide Metro vehicles have priority seating and allocated spaces. See the fact sheet for locations of these areas on the Accessibility and Disability page.
Customers should not use the seat on their 'walkers' as they may be unstable; please transfer to the priority seat. You can have your walker with the brakes on in front of you on trains and trams.
Note that these spaces can be used by all customers but must be vacated when required by a person who uses a wheelchair or scooter. Storage of mobility aids (eg walkers) and other items (eg prams and shopping trolleys) can be accommodated on buses – check with the driver or staff as each vehicle has different locations.
'Request next stop' buttons are located in most allocated spaces. The allocated space buttons should only be used by customers who require the ramp deployed to allow them to alight.
The Disability Discrimination Act 1992 makes it unlawful to discriminate against a person who requires an assistance animal.
The Australian Human Rights Commission states that assistance animals are not pets, but rather are highly trained disability support services that enable a person with disability to safely participate in personal and public life activities.
A person with a disability is entitled to be accompanied by an assistance animals in a public place or in a regular passenger service vehicle (includes buses, trains, trams and taxis).
For the safety of the travelling public and other assistance animals, the assistance animal must be able to behave in a safe and appropriate manner on public transport.
For enquiries in relation to assistance animals contact the Dog and Cat Management Board on (08) 8124 4962.
A person with a disability from interstate is also entitled to be accompanied by an assistance dog who has valid assistance animal identification from the above organisations located interstate, such as Guide Dogs Victoria etc, on Adelaide Metro services.
Complaints regarding Adelaide Metro services and taxis can be made to the Adelaide Metro Infoline on 1300 311 108.
Adelaide Metro timetables are displayed at some train stations, tram stops and bus stops. Regular train and tram services are fully accessible.
While we do our best to make sure accessible buses are available on all routes, the best way to make sure your route has an accessible bus is to call the depot the morning of the intended day of travel before travel.
The printed Adelaide Metro timetables at train stations are being replaced by both voice annunciators on yellow poles with hearing loops and large LCD screens. Other information, including emergency information, is relayed via the platform speakers and the hearing loops.

Google today features a doodle to salute all athletes competing inThe 2012 Summer Olympic Games which will officially open tonight, July 27 in London.
The doodle depicts five athletes on the track holding the g-o-o-g-l-e letters. We can see football, swimming, running/jumping, javelin throw, fencing representatives each carrying the letters. A football and a basketball are also depicted on each end.
This year's games would comprise the 30th modern Olympic Games with 10,500 athletes from 204 countries on the list to participate in 302 events in 26 sports.
Awesome BMW Car on a beach!
For decades now, just the term BMW cars brings to mind the image of high precision, beautifully engineered cars that were built to perform at the best possible with only the minimum possible input. It then comes as no big surprise that at this round of the Olympics that are going to be hosted in London, BMW has been appointed as the Official Automotive Partner of the games. The pairing of two dynamic names like the Olympics and BMW certainly leaves one in awe seeing that the power and force of each great company signifies the message that the game holds in the first place.
For years now, BMW motors has worked ceaselessly to produce and manufacture cars that not only provide optimum performance, but are also fuel efficient and ecologically friendly without leaving too large a carbon footprint behind. This goes in line with the message of the Olympics games, and is also the reason why this time around, BMW will be supplying an entire fleet of their fuel efficient, electrical hybrid cars as the sole mode of transportation for officials, committee members and athletes as they adjourn from one venue to another as part of the game.
The latest BMW commercial that was shot in collaboration with the games showcased their lastest M5 model being tested to its limits on a beautiful stretch of beach in Wales. The setting of the video, the precision and dynamic of the car and the power of both man and machine was clearly evident as precision driver Wolfgang Weber steered and drifted the car along the sandy shores. It was a perfect teaming of man, nature and machine, which as a whole produced an image of power, harmony and cooperation as well as a glimpse into the future of motorsports.

2019-20 Player Report Cards: Andrew Mangiapane
Another Flames player we can all agree on: he's pretty freakin' awesome!
By markparkinson14, Flashalytics, and MGMacGillivray Jun 26, 2020, 12:29pm PDT
Share All sharing options for: 2019-20 Player Report Cards: Andrew Mangiapane
Andrew Mangiapane: Left Wing
Regular Season Stats:
68 GP, 17 G, 15 A, 32 Pts, 18 PIM, +4
Individual Grades
Mark: (A) The Flames got a full glimpse into what the future with Andrew Mangiapane could look like and it looks amazing. Mangiapane played in a career high of 68 games this season, up from his previous best of 44 and his point totals climbed dramatically. The Toronto native notched a career high 32 points, which easily passed his career high of 13 in 2018-19. Mangiapane was a steady player for all of the regular season and the 6th round pick is clearly one of the players Calgary can build upon to grow this young and talented core that they have. I don't think there is anyone who isn't excited to see what he brings in the playoffs or over the stretch of an 82 game regular season.
Flash: (A) Value found late in a draft is a very good way to build up an NHL roster. Mangiapane, he of a 53 CF%, a 52.94 GF%, a 53.40 xGF%, and a 55.22 SCF%. If you're not into numbers and don't want to learn the lingo I'll spell it out for you, that's really good, especially tremendous when you realize we snagged him in the 6th round. And before anyone claims it was just luck, his PDO (which combines his sh% with his on-ice sv%) is only 1.003. Mangiapane has earned his spot in the Flames top 6, and I'm excited to see where he goes from here. Brava. Bravo, Trés Bien.
MGMacGillivray: (A) After the Flames played hardball with Mangiapane last summer, ultimately signing him for 715k (just 15k over the minimum), he earned a big raise this summer. He finished with 17 goals and roughly a 21 goal pace over 82 games which was solid for a guy in his first full NHL season. Mangiapane really started pick it up down the last stretch of the season before stoppage, compiling nine goals and 17 points in the final 19 games compare to 15 points in the previous 49 games. With the changing salary landscape after COVID, his negotiations might become very interesting, but the Flames should be exploring all options to get him on a deal with term as he likely becomes a full-time top six winger next year.

Meusel was a student of Wilhelm Troll, himself a major figure in the German botanical circles of his time. In the middle years of the century Meusel became one of the world's leading plant geographers, though his work was not well known to American audiences. Trained in both botany and geology, he used this background to fashion a research career focusing on chorological studies: vegetation assemblage measurement and classification. His two outstanding works came from 1943 and 1965, respectively: Vergleichende Arealkunde, and Vergleichende Chorologie der Zentraleuropäischen Flora. Other important associations: editor of the journal Flora for over twenty years, director of the botanical garden at Martin-Luther-University, Halle-Wittenberg for nearly thirty years, and director of the Institute for Landscape Research and Nature Protection, 1953-1963.

This course is a practical guide for managing the economic life of a mining truck fleet. It covers key financial, commercial and physical aspects of truck management and explains specific methods for acquiring and operating these vehicles to full advantage.
The course includes three sections—Introduction, Life Cycle Cost Analysis, and Optimization. It is structured to support a vigorous discounted cash flow analysis that embraces realistic estimates for the key operating and maintenance variables associated with running haul trucks, and discusses options for improving overall truck performance and productivity.
The objective is to provide an analytic framework that enables readers to impartially assess haul truck investments by using reliable financial modeling and sensitivity analysis. The life cycle model should be functional as a baseline for formal equipment planning and management and for measuring the performance of the haul truck fleet during its useful life.
People who will benefit from this course include purchasing, maintenance, engineering and production managers from mining companies that operate fleets of large haul trucks.
This course is presented as 16 viewing sessions, averaging approximately 30 minutes viewing duration each, plus four interactive reviews that confirm the viewer's achievement of learning objectives. The total duration of the course is approximately seven hours.
Identify the principles and application of life cycle costing.
Discuss the concepts of economic risk, operating risk and supplier risk and how to incorporate these into the costing model.
Discuss the application of life cycle costing to the budgeting, resource forecasting, and maintenance evaluation processes.
