Okay, so I decided to make the jump from console gaming to pc gaming today, and went ahead and with the decision to get ESO for PC. I went to my local gamestore and traded in my 360 games with the intention of pre-purchasing the ESO: Imperial Edition. However, out of stock. No worries, I put it towards something else.
Unlucky for me. No drama's.
So, I figured I'll be happy with the digital edition, and came across the Ubisoft deal going around the net saying if you purchase the Imperial Edition through Ubisoft you'll get AC4. I thought sweet, 2 new games to start my PC gaming.
Unfortunately, I was too quick to pull the trigger and found out after I did the deal, the offer was actually expired, and I pre-purchased the game for the full price $120 AU, without AC4.
Man, it sucked. Still does.
and my other question is, when i pre-purchased it, I got the email stating the 5-day head start and explorers edition, but nothing to do with the Imperial Edition and the bonuses that come with. Is this normal or should I be worried?
I'll be contacting Ubisoft customer help tomorrow when there available, but thought i'd try my luck here first.
Cheers guys, first time so pretty inexperienced.
I think it's time to remind people that this section is for questions regarding the website, not the game. Please take any matters regarding ESO, gameplay, purchases, opinions about it and whatever else to General Discussion.


US Africa Command officials immediately disputed the allegations laid out in a report by Amnesty International and insisted that the military has investigated 18 cases of possible civilian casualties since 2017 and found that none were credible, Al-Jazeera reported.
The report came the same day that a Somali intelligence official and two local residents said a US drone attack on Monday killed civilians.
Amnesty International announced that it analysed satellite imagery and other data and interviewed 65 witnesses and survivors of five specific air raids detailed in the report.
The report concluded that there is "credible evidence" that the United States was responsible for four of the attacks, and that it is plausible that the US may have conducted the fifth attack.
It noted that 14 civilians were killed and eight injured in the attacks.
"Amnesty International's research points to a failure by the US and Somali governments to adequately investigate allegations of civilian casualties resulting from US operations in Somalia," the report said, adding that the US doesn't have a good process for survivors or victims' families to self-report losses.
US Africa Command said it looked at the five attacks and concluded there were no civilian casualties. In the fifth case, the command added that there were no US attacks in that area on that day.
The group's report and Defense Department officials also agreed that the attacks usually take place in hostile areas controlled by al-Shabab.
US defence officials told reporters that American troops were on the ground at attack locations in a very limited number of cases. Even in those instances, they stated, US troops ordered attacks to protect local Somali forces they were accompanying, and there was little opportunity to investigate possible civilian casualties at that moment.
Still, the rights group concluded that the US military's insistence that there have been zero civilian deaths is wrong.
"The civilian death toll we've uncovered in just a handful of strikes suggests the shroud of secrecy surrounding the US role in Somalia's war is actually a smokescreen for impunity," Brian Castner, a senior adviser at Amnesty International, stated.
Unnamed US defence officials underlined that Kenya and Ethiopia also conduct air attacks in the region, but provided no details.
There are 500 to 600 US troops in Somalia at any given time.
The pace of US air raids in Somalia has escalated during the Donald Trump administration, from 47 in all of 2018 to 28 already this year.
In March 2017, President Donald Trump approved greater authorities for military operations against al-Shabab, allowing increased attacks in support of the African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM) and Somali forces.
Meanwhile, the Somali official said the US drone targeted a vehicle carrying suspected al-Shabab fighters and apparently hit another vehicle that may have been carrying civilians.
The official was not authorised to talk to the media and did so on condition of anonymity.
Residents concurred with the official's assessment.
Mohamed Siyad, an elder in Lanta Buro, a village near the farming town of Afgoye, Somalia, told The Associated Press that four civilians, including employees of a telecom company, were killed.
"They were known to us – they had nothing to do with al-Shabab," he said by phone.
Another resident, Abdiaziz Haji, stated the drone destroyed the vehicle.
In a rare move, US Africa Command on Tuesday mentioned those possible casualties in a press release about the attack and said officials will look into the incident. But, more broadly, US defence officials said casualty allegations in Somalia are questionable because al-Shabab makes false claims or force local citizens to do the same.


Today, I had the honor and privilege to be invited by the New York State Division of Veterans Affairs to make an address at their Human Rights Conference at New York Law School. I spoke of my experience as a "MuslimMarine" providing my insight and thoughts to the audience. I talked of the importance of staying true to that famous creed, "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness." My message of inclusion resonated well!
Also, had the cool honor to hang out with my fellow brother Veteran Kristofer Goldsmith of High Ground Veterans Advocacy as well as with the President of the ACLU, Susan Herman who delivered the keynote — awesome woman by the way!

EnWave Signs Equipment Purchase Agreement with Calbee Inc. to Expand Commercial Manufacturing Capacity
EnWave Corporation (TSX-V:ENW | FSE:E4U) ("EnWave", or the "Company") announced today that it has signed an Equipment Purchase Agreement with Calbee, Inc. ("Calbee"), a leading global snack manufacturing company, to commission an additional two 10kW Radiant Energy Vacuum ("REV™") dehydration machines in Japan. The addition of the two 10kW REV™ machines will significantly expand Calbee's commercial manufacturing capacity to launch its new line of REV™-based snack products.
Calbee has successfully developed several "better-for-you" snack products internally using REV™ technology and intends to intensify its commercial efforts throughout 2020, focusing on premium, healthy fruit and vegetable snack products.
Calbee entered into a royalty-bearing commercial license agreement with EnWave approximately one year ago, and the purchase of the two additional REV™ machines demonstrates the commercial value of using EnWave's proprietary technology for producing premium snack products.
Calbee continues to have the exclusive rights to commercialize EnWave's REV™ food dehydration technology for the development of several premium, healthy fruit and vegetable snack products and ingredients in the country of Japan. The installation of the two additional 10kW machines will triple the royalty-bearing production capacity of Calbee in Japan.
About Calbee
Calbee, Inc. is one of the largest snack food companies in Japan and is a leader in the manufacture and sale of potato, flour-based snacks, and processed cereals. Calbee holds over 50% market share for the domestic Japanese snack market and holds over 70% market share for potato-based snacks. Outside of Japan, Calbee also has major international presence in the snack markets in the United States, Korea, China, Hong Kong, Thailand, Singapore, Indonesia, Australia, and the United Kingdom with several well-known household brands. The company was founded on April 30, 1949, and is headquartered in Tokyo, Japan.
EnWave Corporation, a Vancouver-based advanced technology company, has developed Radiant Energy Vacuum ("REV™") – an innovative, proprietary method for the precise dehydration of organic materials. EnWave has further developed patent-pending methods for uniformly drying and decontaminating cannabis through the use of REV™ technology, shortening the time from harvest to marketable cannabis products.
REV™ technology's commercial viability has been demonstrated and is growing rapidly across several market verticals in the food, and pharmaceutical sectors including legal cannabis. EnWave's strategy is to sign royalty-bearing commercial licenses with innovative, disruptive companies in multiple verticals for the use of REV™ technology. The company has signed over thirty royalty-bearing licenses to date. In addition to these licenses, EnWave established a Limited Liability Corporation, NutraDried Food Company, LLC, to manufacture, market and sell all-natural dairy snack products in the United States, including the Moon Cheese® brand.
EnWave has introduced REV™ as a disruptive dehydration platform in the food and cannabis sectors: faster and cheaper than freeze drying, with better end product quality than air drying or spray drying.
EnWave currently offers two distinct commercial REV™ platforms:
nutraREV® which is used in the food industry to dry food products quickly and at low-cost, while maintaining high levels of nutrition, taste, texture and colour; and
quantaREV® which is used for continuous, high-volume low-temperature drying.

Despite not turning a profit in the UK, Starbucks recently buckled to public pressure and agreed to start paying more tax here. Rather than hiking their prices, the retailer is slashing employee benefits to recoup some of the cost.
But while three quid still ain't cheap for a cup of hot milk and sugar, that's nothing compared to what London venture capital firm Accel Partners has splashed out on their new coffee machine, installed in the firm's St James's offices a few months ago.
Behold the TopBrewer Pro, a near-silent "innovative world novelty" that has created "an entirely new category within coffee brewers", according to manufacturers Scanomat.
This luxury iPhone- and iPad-compatible coffee machine is designed "to create coffee of exemplary level to satisfy the most discerning of baristas". It's an elegant built-in solution whose tap emerges from the counter-top to create a more "interactive coffee experience".
"With a simple touch of your iPhone or iPad, the TopBrewer brews your favourite coffee drink using freshly ground coffee beans," boasts Scanomat's website.
There's also a finger touch keyboard provided, in case a smartphone is unavailable.
Speaking to The Kernel this morning, a spokesman for Scanomat in the UK explained how granular the machine's settings are: "You can choose 9g of coffee, 9.2g, that's how fine it goes," he said.
The TopBrewer makes an espresso in just 25 seconds, which will doubtless be a boon given the heavy footfall in Accel's London offices. Equally reassuring is the manufacturer's guarantee of "beautiful foam", yielding an "exquisite texture" for lattes, cappuccinos and macchiatos.
The TopBrewer Pro has two coffee grinders, one for espresso and one for coffee. Prices start at $15,400 (£9,500). The Compact model, understood to have been installed at Accel, starts at $12,100 (£7,500).
Modular enhancements such as luxury liquid chocolate and secondary swan necks can drive the price of the TopBrewer up to $21,000 (£13,000).
Coffee must be purchased from the manufacturers, and, owing to its integrated design, should the TopBrewer develop a fault a licensed engineer must be despatched to repair the machine on-site.
A request for comment placed with one of Accel's LPs this morning went unreturned.

Man City dominates Tottenham but settles for a point after late VAR fireworks
Doug McIntyre
Gabriel Jesus and Manchester City were not happy with the late VAR handball ruling on Saturday against Tottenham. (Getty)
On the eve of the weekend's marquee Premier League clash between two-time defending champion Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur — the club that shocked City in the Champions League last season — Sky Blues manager Pep Guardiola said that Spurs were "the second-best team in Europe."
Saturday's 2-2 draw at the Etihad Stadium did little to dispel that notion.
Guardiola made four changes to the lineup that dismantled West Ham 5-0 in the opener. While City still dominated against what Tottenham coach Mauricio Pochettino called his strongest possible team, they had to settle for a point.
Gabriel Jesus' apparent game-winner in stoppage time was ruled out by video assistant referee after Aymeric Laporte handled the ball right before Jesus scored:
As it stood, Lucas Moura was the hero for the visitors, scoring the goal that stole two points for Spurs just 14 seconds after Pochettino summoned him from the bench:
Raheem Sterling scored the first goal 20 minutes in off a pinpoint Kevin De Bruyne cross, but Erik Lamela cancelled it out almost immediately with a well-taken equalizer. De Bruyne set up a second when he found Sergio Aguero shortly before halftime, but in the end — and because of VAR — it wasn't enough.
Here are three quick thoughts on the match:
A confidence-building result for Tottenham
Facing perhaps the best team of the Premier League era in their home opener was always going to be a tough task for Spurs.
And for the most part, the match played out the way any realistic Spurs supporter would've expected, with the home side utterly dominant. Man City was all over Spurs early, and Lamela's goal came on the visitors' lone shot of the first half.
City's superiority was even more impressive considering Guardiola's lineup changes, with Aguero, Ilkay Gundogan, Nicolas Otamendi and Bernardo Silva replacing Jesus, Riyad Mahrez, David Silva and John Stones.
Meantime, Christian Eriksen — who was the difference-maker off the bench in last week's comeback win over Aston Villa — was the only new player for Pochettino, with Moura back to a supporting role until his star turn in the 56th minute.
In truth, the visitors didn't play all that well. Much of that was down to the hosts, of course. But controversy or not, it still says something about Spurs' growing stature that they were able to visit the Prem's most daunting side and take a share of the spoils on a day they probably didn't deserve a point.
Kevin De Bruyne the key man for Man City
The Belgian winger was limited to just a handful of games for the champions last season, but he's started the new campaign in scary-good form. De Bruyne set up both of City's strikes and was a general thorn in Tottenham's side all afternoon.
This disappointing result aside, De Bruyne's resurgence through two games is huge news for City, which more or less stood pat during the summer transfer window. It's been said before, but it's accurate that having a healthy De Bruyne available this year is like adding another world-class player to a roster that is already the deepest in Europe.
Spurs dodged a bullet on this day, but that's a scary thought for every other team in the Premier League, as most of them won't get that lucky.
Raheem Sterling's hot start continues
Sterling already has four goals this season after last week's hat trick against the Hammers. Saturday's opener represented another quality finish from the English national team standout, who sent this one home with a rare header:
Sterling scored 24 goals in 2018-19 and is on pace to smash his career-best. His improving scoring touch is good news for Guardiola in light of the manager's testy exchange with Aguero when the Argentine was subbed off in the second half:
Pep and Sergio Aguero exchange words after he's subbed off.

The Many Faces Of Mara Keisling: The Death of United ENDA?
Is one of the key players in the United ENDA movement, Mara Keisling, signaling its death? Recently Keisling said:
'We have to show Barney Frank 220 votes,' she said. 'If we show him 220 votes, nobody is going to work harder on this. The same with HRC… It's going to happen again next year. '- After ENDA, the Fighter's Resilient
According to Donna Rose's blog :
3/1/2008 – They're currently planning to hold hearings in Congress specifically about transgender workplace issues in April. Whereas original plans were to tightly control those hearings, Rep. Frank has largely turned over control of gathering the stories to NCTE/Mara Keisling (who's home in DC with pneumonia). Mara has been diligently working with many of us to identify potential speakers who can come to Washington DC to speak and I expect she'll be finalizing that to give to Barney shortly.
Frank later emailed Rose and said:
3/5/2008 – "…at the request of Mara Keisling, I agreed to meet with her to discuss the hearing. In fact, my office has met with several groups for input, but Ms. Rose's assertion that I "largely turned over control of gathering the stories to NCTE/Mara Keisling" is wholly baseless. In fact, the Committee on Education and Workforce has jurisdiction over this bill and therefore, the "control" was never mine to turn over. And while the blog referenced NCTE, the fact is, several groups have been working to identify potential witnesses –in fact, the ultimate decision about who is ultimately selected rests with subcommittee Chairman Rob Andrews and full committee Chairman George Miller, after consulting with me.
On a later entry, Rose said:
During our conversation today HRC came up several times. Joe (Racalto,
Barney Frank's senior policy adviser) went out of his way to assure me that HRC is taking the lead in these hearings in many ways. As far as our community is concerned I'll take his word for it and let it all unfold….
It's interesting to timeline Keisling's comments about the Human Rights Campaign (HRC):
(concerning the Matthew Shepard Act)
The Human Rights Campaign (HRC) did an incredibly skillful and professional job as a lead organization on lobbying for the bill.Their work and efforts were absolutely everything that any LGBT person could hope for–they really did ALL LGBT people proud. And they as individuals and as an organization are putting their hearts into transgender work and we should be very appreciative. – (posted to TGv Advocacy)
In that same post she said about ENDA:
Our Allies: Years ago, we didn't have too many. We had to educate and, yes, fight our way back into the LGBT movement. I know there are still imperfections and I know that some trans people are still skeptical. Yet, I can tell you without hesitation that the entire organized LGBT movement is with us now. Our education worked. Our indignation worked. It is our moral responsibility now to embrace the people we asked and demanded to be our allies. If we do not believe in education, in persuasion, in redemption, we have
no right being in civil rights. Why educate if not to win over? Why win over if not to embrace and move forward together? HRC really is an LGBT organization now and getting a lot of great work done for us all. Congressman Frank and Senator Kennedy too. Let's move on together. – (posted to TGv Advocacy)
(concerning protesting)
Anyone (and again I am not saying you are suggesting this) who would still hope to positively impact ENDA or LLEHCCPA by protesting allies who are really getting the job done for and with us–allies like HRC, Rep. Frank and Sen.Kennedy–in my opinion, simply would not be seeing or else not understanding what is going on. – (posted to TGv Advocacy)
We consider this action a kind of 'family intervention'. We believe that HRC is misguided in their response and lack of action on the ENDA legislation. While we appreciate the support that HRC has given us in the transgender community, we are disappointed with HRC at the moment, – Transgender Activists Protest HRC Dinner
(concerning HRC's "brokering" of the inclusive ENDA [2015] putting it off to be heard in the future "when it has the votes to pass.")
HRC's 'new deal' is entirely spin meant to undermine the unprecedented grassroots efforts of hundreds of organizations and tens of thousands of individuals in order to allow movement of their vanity bill that no one including Speaker Pelosi or Congressman Frank says they really want. – NCTE's Daily Update
'Our official position right now is we are extremely disappointed and angry at HRC. … The real bottom line is right now NCTE will not do anything that will rehabilitate HRC as a legitimate spokesman for transgender people … until they stop actively hurting trans people', said Keisling. She characterized HRC's advocacy of the sexual orientation-only version of ENDA in the House, as well as its expected lobbying to pass the bill this year in the Senate, as hurting trans people.
As for NCTE's future plans for ENDA, Keisling said that after the election she expects advocates to lobby a new Congress and a new president in favor of passing a trans-inclusive ENDA bill.
'It is our expectation that in 2009 Congress is going to hear from a very united LGBT movement,' said Keisling. 'Whether that includes HRC I have no idea.' – Trans-HRC schism widens
'We have to show Barney Frank 220 votes,' she said. 'If we show him 220 votes, nobody is going to work harder on this. The same with HRC… It's going to happen again next year.' – After ENDA, the Fighter's Resilient
As recent as yesterday, HRC was lobbying for a non-inclusive ENDA.
In an email from Cuc Vu to the HRC Steering Committee, she writes:
Lobby ask:continue to build support in the House for HR 2015; request the Senate to take action to prohibit workplace discrimination.
Since the non-inclusive bill (3685) has already passed the House, asking the Senate to take action to prohibit workplace discrimination is asking them to support 3685. Essentially it's business as usual for HRC. Nothing has substantially changed in their lobbying efforts. They've had no "rehabilitative" moment or change of heart. If you take Keisling's words to heart, the only other conclusion that seems logical is that United ENDA is dead.

Beth Ellen Cox
Della Vecchia Funeral Home
July 24, 1942 – January 18, 2023
Beth Ellen (Scott) Cox left this world and claimed her place in heaven on January 18, 2023, with her devoted daughter Rhonda at her side, after a long battle with Alzheimer's disease. Her last days were spent surrounded by her loving children and family. Beth was born in Lincoln, Maine July 24, 1942, to Kenneth Scott and Tressa (McCalpine) Scott, and raised by her mother and her adoring stepfather Norman. She was predeceased by her devoted husband of 34 years, Robert (Bob) A. Cox. Beth is survived by her beloved children, Richard (Damon) Angelone, Michael Angelone and wife Sue, Rhonda DeNoto and husband Mike, and Kyle Cox. She is also survived by siblings Paul Furrow, Paula Furrow Norman (Butch) Furrow and wife Anita, Judy Tatters, Marian (Furrow) Hoyt, and Ken Scott and former wife Mary, as well as current wife Maureen. In addition, she leaves behind grandchildren Carissa, Amber, Wren, Frankie, Mickey, and Randy, her dearest sister-in-law June Alger (whom Beth considered as her sister), and a very large extended family of great-grandchildren, stepchildren, nieces and nephews, cousins, in-laws, and long-time friends. The list is extensive, and Beth loved every one of them. Once her heart was given her loyalty never wavered, regardless of distance, divorce, or disagreement. Beth was a professional realtor at Griffin Realtors in Southington, CT for over 20 years. She enjoyed traveling and dining out with Bob, winning at her favorite slot machine at Foxwoods, and watching UCONN Women's Basketball and the Red Sox. She loved donuts, dancing, music, and shopping. And of course, her dogs. Scooter, Jade, Mitzi, and finally Lucy were all well-loved and very spoiled. Among her favorite travel destinations was her cherished home state of Maine. Many Independence Day holidays were spent with Bob and family in Bar Harbor and Lincoln, and she was proud to announce to everyone she met in her later years that she was indeed from beautiful Maine. Beth's life was one of tireless devotion to family and friends. She cared for her mother Tressa in her own home for many years prior to her passing, and hers was the house where all the large family gatherings were held, with plenty of home cooked food and drink for all. She was giving in all ways – with an open heart and a big smile. She took great pride in her appearance and freely admitted to owning more clothes than she could ever wear. She loved hats (both silly and sophisticated) and sparkly jewelry; always had her hair styled, her nails polished, and her eye makeup in place. She was a 'second mom' to many and was quick to offer a kind word or an attentive ear to anyone who needed her. She will be remembered fondly and missed by everyone who knew her. Please join us for a celebration of Beth's life on February 11th, 2023 at 2 p.m. at St. Gregory CCD Center at 1043 Stafford Avenue Bristol CT. In case of inclement weather, the snow date is February 18th, 2023. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in Beth's honor.

Chicago CEO Michael Fassnacht steps down, Tyler Turnbull takes North America CEO role
(L. to r.) FCB North America CEO Tyler Turnbull, FCB Chicago president Kelly Graves and FCB North America CFO Mark Jungwirth
Changes abound at FCB as it undergoes a leadership restructuring in North America, but the new leaders are all familiar faces for the network.
Tyler Turnbull, promoted to CEO of FCB New York and FCB Canada back in May, will now serve as North America CEO for FCB, overseeing all offices in the region, including Chicago. Michael Fassnacht, CEO for FCB Chicago, will be stepping down from that position after leading the office for nearly a decade. While the appointment is effective immediately, Fassnacht will aid in the transition process through the end of the year. The restructuring will not impact FCB Health.
Turnbull first joined FCB Toronto as CEO in 2014 and was elevated to FCB Canada CEO two years later. Before joining FCB he served as president for Proximity Canada and he has also spent time in planning leadership roles for Publicis Modem in London.
"I am honored and humbled to be entrusted with leading FCB's next growth chapter in the market where it was born almost 150 years ago. It's a move that will benefit all our clients for the better, and one that will harness the collective power of our more than 1,500 talented people in the region across one of the most impressive integrated creative-agency brand offerings in the world," Turnbull said in a statement.
FCB CEO Carter Murray explained that the decision to move to a single CEO across North America was about increasing the ability to collaborate more effectively across offices under a single leader while building on its current culture and solving the problem of keeping the "culture of geography while also having one culture across the company."
"
We're trying to bring our cultures closer together," he told Adweek while explaining that the decision was carefully considered over the past year.
Murray touted Turnbull's track record transforming FCB Canada and "energizing" the New York office since taking over leadership this year, as well as his "international experience," which he called "valuable for context."
Additionally, Kelly Graves was promoted from CMO at FCB Chicago to president of the office, and Mark Jungwirth was promoted from FCB Chicago CFO to FCB North America CFO.
Graves is an agency veteran of 12 years, having first joined FCB Chicago as an account director in 2007. Prior to her most recent role, she spent time as group management director. Jungwirth has been with FCB for nearly nine years after joining the agency from McCann, where he also served as CFO.
"In all our succession planning, Kelly has always been one of those people on that chart," Murray said. "She has an unbelievable new business track record, [is] going to be excellent on this job, and knows the company and culture."
"I think the obvious path for a talent like Tyler or Kelly is to one day run a global organization," he added. "I think I've got five to six executives who will be global CEOs of companies in their career. My job is to hire people that I want to work for one day. We have a lot of very talented people across the network."
Fassnacht explained that following his departure from the FCB Chicago CEO role he will be taking some time off before determining his next move, adding that it will involve the combination of data, creativity and technology, and may or may not be within the IPG organization.
"I really love FCB and the people I work with, and I'm thankful for everything we've done together," he said. "I've been fortunate to work with great people for 10 years, and now it's time for a change."

Through ongoing development, Colorado lost the equivalent of one football field of open space every 2 ½ minutes during a recent decade, per researchers at Colorado State University. Natural habitat being lost for many types of wildlife puts pressure on our urban landscapes to help fill the nature gap. More and more, our landscapes are becoming habitat.
With this being National Pollinator Week, it's a good time to think about bringing more pollinators into our yards even if our outdoor space is a few square feet of patio. Pollinator friendly landscapes, container gardens and even hanging baskets on apartment balconies can put out the welcome mat for pollinators.
Though we may not realize it, many of the flowering plants we typically find at garden centers or are already growing in our yards are pollinator friendly. We need to plant more of them and make sure there is enough variety that will appeal to all. Providing more plants that offer nectar and pollen throughout the growing season is key.
Flowering shrubs and perennial flowers are best for planting in the ground as they may not overwinter in a container. Columbine, liatris and coral bells, for example, attract hummingbirds. They also offer the ease for the gardener of coming back again year after year.
If you love growing herbs for the kitchen, plant basil, mint, rosemary, sage and thyme to attract bees.
Fruit trees such as apple and pear and berries such as raspberries and strawberries also attract pollinators.

A shelf (: shelves) is a flat, horizontal plane used for items that are displayed or stored in a home, business, store, or elsewhere. It is raised off the floor and often anchored to a wall, supported on its shorter length sides by brackets, or otherwise anchored to cabinetry by brackets, dowels, screws, or nails. It can also be held up by columns or pillars. A shelf is also known as a counter, ledge, mantel, or rack. Tables designed to be placed against a wall, possibly mounted, are known as console tables, and are similar to individual shelves.

A shelf can be attached to a wall or other vertical surface, be suspended from a ceiling, be a part of a free-standing frame unit, or it can be part of a piece of furniture such as a cabinet, bookcase, entertainment center, headboard, and so on. Usually, two to six shelves make up a unit, each shelf being attached perpendicularly to the vertical or diagonal supports and positioned parallel one above the other. Free-standing shelves can be accessible from either one or both longer length sides. A shelf with hidden internal brackets is termed a floating shelf. A shelf or case designed to hold books is a bookshelf.

The length of the shelf is based upon the space limitations of its siting and the amount of weight which it will be expected to hold. The vertical distance between the shelves is based upon the space limitations of the unit's siting and the height of the objects; adjustable shelving systems allow the vertical distance to be altered. The unit can be fixed or be some form of mobile shelving. The most heavy-duty shelving is pallet racking. In a store, the front edge of the shelf under the object(s) held might be used to display the name, product number, pricing, and other information about the object(s).

Materials

Shelves are normally made of strong materials such as wood, bamboo or steel, though shelves to hold lighter-weight objects can be made of glass or plastic. Do it yourself (DIY) shelves can be made from things such as an old door, colored pencils or books.

Pipe shelving

Pipe shelving can be used in a home, business, store or restaurant. It consists mainly of wood boards resting on black or galvanized steel gas pipe. Copper pipe can be used but it is not recommended for heavy-duty shelves. Pipe shelving can also be modified to be used as retail clothing displays and wall shelves. Pipe shelving supports rest on the floor with floor flanges (these need not be attached) and attaches to the wall with flanges that are directed backwards. Many different designs exist and some companies make these shelves for commercial and residential applications and others make these shelves as DIY projects.

Pipe shelving is mainly attached to a wall but some companies have designed free standing units. Pipe shelving has even been used in reclamation projects such as shipping container architecture and was used by Marriott Hotels & Resorts in a bar project.

Proportions for hanging on a wall

When hanging shelves on a wall, home designers generally try to ensure that the shelf should be no wider than 1.4 x bracket's width and no wider than 1.2 x bracket's height. Spacing brackets for a long shelf should be no more than 4 x shelf-breadth between each bracket - this holds true for normal materials used at home.

Length and size of screws holding the shelf to the wall differ depending on the material of the wall. A good rule of thumb for concrete walls is that the screw should go into the wall at least as far as one-tenth the width of the shelf. But there are shelf systems where a brace is hung on the wall, onto which brackets are attached without screws.

Etymology

The word shelf is from the Old English ; akin to Low German  shelf and Old Norse - bench.

Q: get JSON response while performing POST request with HttpURLConnection I am using the following code to perform POST requests on a REST API. It is all working fine. What I am being unable to do is after POST is successful the API returns response JSON in body with headers, this JSON has information which I require. I am unable to get the JSON response.
I need this response as this response includes the ID generated by DB. I can see the response while using REST Client plugin of firefox. Need to do implement the same in Java.

    String json = "{\"name\": \"Test by JSON 1\",\"description\": \"Test by JSON 1\",\"fields\": {\"field\": []},\"typeDefinitionId\": \"23\",\"primaryParentId\": \"26982\"}";
    String url = "http://serv23/api/contents";
    URL obj = new URL(url);

    HttpURLConnection con = (HttpURLConnection) obj.openConnection();

    //Setting the Request Method header as POST
    con.setRequestMethod("POST");

    //Prepairing credentials
    String cred= "user123:p@ssw0rd";
    byte[] encoded = Base64.encodeBase64(cred.getBytes());
    String credentials = new String(encoded);

    //Setting the Authorization Header as 'Basic' with the given credentials
    con.setRequestProperty  ("Authorization", "Basic " + credentials);

    //Setting the Content Type Header as application/json
    con.setRequestProperty("Content-Type", "application/json");

    //Overriding the HTTP method as as mentioned in documentation
    con.setRequestProperty("X-HTTP-Method-Override", "POST");

    con.setDoOutput(true);

    JSONObject jsonObject = (JSONObject)new JSONParser().parse(json);

    OutputStream os = con.getOutputStream();
    os.write(jsonObject.toJSONString().getBytes());

    os.flush();
    WriteLine( con.getResponseMessage() );
    int responseCode = con.getResponseCode();

A: Get the input stream and read it.
String json_response = "";
InputStreamReader in = new InputStreamReader(con.getInputStream());

String text = "";
while ((text = br.readLine()) != null) {

Q: mysqli_fetch_row syntax confusion I'm new to PHP and I copied this code;
$sql = "SELECT userID, username, password, first_name FROM users WHERE email='$e' AND activated='1' LIMIT 1";
        $query = mysqli_query($connection, $sql);
        $row = mysqli_fetch_row($query);
        $db_id = $row[0];
        $db_username = $row[1];
        $db_pass_str = $row[2];
        $db_firstname = $row[3];

But it's just not working... And here's what my table looks like;
UserID -- username -- firstname -- lastname --  email  --------- password

1   --    CJ_65 --    Craig -----  Johnson  --  CJ@email.com  -- passwordd

Can anybody help me out?

A: Be cautious on the correct implementation being used with your SQL statements. All you need to do is  take out the $connection part of your $query.. in other words.. go from this:
$query = mysqli_query($connection, $sql);

to this:
$query = mysqli_query($sql);

To learn the documentation a little better check this manual out. MySQl is a big step to be taking in the learning process of web development but the only way to get better is to keep practicing it and looking up the correct syntax/inputs for the the majority of the statements. You got this :)

A: Since you outlined that you're new to PHP, I'd suggest learning prepared statements over MySQLi non-prepared statements. PDO is fairly simple to use:
<?
    // Database connection details
    $connection = new PDO("mysql:host=hostNameHere; dbname=databaseNameHere", "usernameHere", "passwordHere");

    // Database query
    $stmt = $connection->prepare("
        SELECT userID, username, password, first_name
        FROM users
        WHERE email = ?
        AND activated = ?
        LIMIT 1
    ");
    $stmt->execute(array($emailValue, $activatedValue));
    $result = $stmt->fetchAll(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC);
?>

I like the sounds at the end of "Baluchitherium". Back then I had a crazy-loud car stereo system and would just crank it all the way up when they came on. It seems like something Ed probably didn't spend too much time on but was interesting nevertheless.
The whole album was great for the time period, IMO. I loved it.

T.B.
I picked up the album both on CD and LP on release day, played the CD a few times all the way through over the next week or so and shelved it. Pretty telling that the non-album B-side "Crossing Over" is imo the best song from that period. Honestly, I had become pretty disinterested in VH by this time but wanted to give the album a chance but it just didn't connect with me aside from maybe "Don't Tell Me."
I didn't even plan on seeing them that tour, but when they played a pair of shows at the LA Forum, a co-worker went the first night and raved about it, I decided to go the next night. I was working in Torrence at the time maybe 20 minutes from the Forum so it was easy to drive over there after work, hunt down a decent seat from a scalper and catch the show.
I will say this, the audience was super loud and into the show, far moreso than any Hagar era show I'd previously seen. But the band seemed kind of sluggish through the set, there was zero camaraderie between Sammy and Eddie and about 2/3rds through the show, Eddie seemed to be struggling and sweating profusely. It all culminated during Eddie's solo spot when he was trying to play Cathedral, he was having some sort of issue with his guitar, abruptly threw it down on the stage with a loud crash/feedback and spent about a full minute plus bitching out his guitar tech onstage before pulling it together and finishing his solo and the rest of the show. I don't even think he joined the rest of the band for their end-of-show bows and Hagar came out by himself afterwords and did a short PSA about driving home drunk. I left that show thinking this was probably the last time I'd see the band, at least with Hagar, it was just a really weird vibe.
Last Summer, I pulled out the vinyl and gave it a spin for shits n' giggles and wound up liking it a bit more than I remembered, but it's still my least favorite VH studio album.
Railrunner130
I probably have some hearing loss from listening to that album 2x2. Too damn loud, too often. It's such a polished, full, balanced (yup I threw it out there) album. Throw in Crossing Over and it was one hell of a way for Sammy to depart the band.
Dont disturb my Paradise
5150. F.U.C.K
5150. Right now
The wait for the album was the most anxious ever personally. It was originally coming out in October '94 called "The Club". My local record store got the whole tracklisting sent to them in November under the album title "The Seventh Seal", so I was expecting that as the title, but when December came around the title had changed again to "Balance".
I hated, and still do to this day the cover art, and the back cover with Sammy in the background was just odd. I had a eerie feeling from the release day this could be Sammys last album.
What is understood need not be discussed
"Dont disturb my paradise. I've asked you once. I've asked you nice" - "SERIOUS JU JU"
"I am in a blissful state. Dont bug me!!!" - Richard Dreyfuss "The Goodbye girl" 1977
I said in another post, I cringed when I first heard Can't Stop Loving You. Big Fat Money and Not Enough were kind of in that cringy-forgettable range too. I was so disappointed when I saw them on Letterman and they played Not Enough. Carnal Knowledge was so heavy with all those hard-driving songs. Then Balance comes out after quite a wait, and was filled with so much softness. But all was forgiven with the inclusion of Amsterdam. Oh man those riffs... That was some badass shit. So I pretty much like Balance for Amsterdam and Don't Tell Me--that's a cool one too. Those two songs were haymakers.

For those of you who cite Balance as your least favorite VH album, have you completely forgotten about VH III? If so, please tell me how I, too can completely forget about it.

I'm with you, yeah, it's a ballad so "rockers only" won't like it, but as a song it's extremely well done and is my favorite of ALL their ballads. It's interesting, which I can't say about Can't Stop Loving You.
This is outstanding …
Hurricane Halen,salg,Team Edward
Never liked the solo in BFM, don't know why.
they opened the show I saw in the summer with BFM. I don't think it's as terrible as some people do, for the most part it's pretty cool, I don't go out of my way to listen to it very often.
Yeah, it's weird, I feel like BFM is a song I should like way more than I do, maybe it's the vocals. I need to go listen again. I don't dislike it at all, just kind of neutral on it. CSLY is really the only song on there I can honestly say I just don't care for. Pretty much love everything else. Also think Feelin and Take Me Back are sorely underrated.
Team Edward

Snowdog, I agree with your take on Feelin' and Take Me Back. Those songs are damn good. I don't mind CSLY. I think it's a Van Halenized pop song. Of all the songs on the album, it's the one that fits the least. I could picture it being on For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge.
Man, I loved his purple Ernie Ball.
I Coulda Hada VH,snowdog
LOL, you got me there. I guess maybe because I don't even think of VH3 as a Van Halen album... or else I *have* completely forgotten about it. Kind of like I don't think of anything with the "Black Sabbath" label past the 3rd or so singer as an actual BS record.

Vietnamese Refugee Punished in California Senate
By Paul Crookston
About Paul Crookston
Follow Paul Crookston on Twitter
Last week, California Democrats censured refugee and Republican state senator Janet Nguyen for speaking "out of order" on the senate floor when she condemned Vietnam's communist rule that affected her and many of her Vietnamese-American constituents. Nguyen took issue with a ceremony honoring Tom Hayden, a former member of the body who was famous for protesting the Vietnam War and supporting Hanoi along with his then-wife Jane Fonda.
As she tried to continue speaking, officers forcibly removed her:

Under the supervision of Democratic senate president Kevin de León, presiding senator Ricardo Lara ordered sergeants to remove her. Democratic senator Bill Monning approved, calling her criticism of Hayden "inappropriate." But it may have actually been her removal that was inappropriate; León has promised a nonpartisan review to determine whether Democrats had any grounds to forcibly expel her from the chamber. Nguyen maintains that they did not, since she was using the adjourn-in-memory period for the "adjournment in memory of Vietnamese and Vietnamese refugees," many of whom were and are her constituents.
Democrats hurt their case by giving Nguyen inconsistent answers on the matter, with an aide to de León denying her the chance to speak as a "point of personal privilege" and recommending she post on Facebook instead, while Senator Monning criticized her for not objecting at the ceremony itself. Presumably, the nonpartisan review will determine whether Democrats acted in adherence to established rules — as Republicans apparently did in the much-discussed silencing of Elizabeth Warren.
The message Nguyen was prevented from giving can be read here. In the future, Vietnamese-American state senators should be allowed some time to speak frankly about Vietnam's communist regime, even if that awkwardly implicates Democrats who supported it.

Grants fund to reach all corners of Tauranga City
6:00pm Tuesday 30 Nov, 2021
Rangatahi (youth) will be learning from professional Māori artists as part of Te Tuhi Mareikura Trust's Ko Tāku Toi Tāku Ohooho programme - one of the first recipients of Tauranga City Council's Community Grants Fund. Supplied photo.
Youth, artists, lawn bowlers, bridge players and disabled people who love to fish will be among the myriad of people to benefit from Tauranga City Council's new Community Grants Fund.
Twenty-four grants have been awarded in the first round of the new contestable grant fund, set up to support community organisations and recognise the significant contribution they make to the social, economic, cultural and environmental wellbeing of Tauranga.
Bay of Plenty Youth Development Trust, which offers values-based fitness programmes to more than 300 youth across Tauranga each week, has been granted $50,000 to help upgrade the Kulim Park boat shed where it runs its Ki Tai (to the sea) programme.
"We have six Scottish rowing skiffs that will give a big percentage of those kids an opportunity to take part in programmes on the water," says BOPYFT chairman Craig Nees.
"We're very grateful for the support from Council which will go a long way towards the renovation."
Te Tuhi Mareikura Trust has also been granted $50,000 for its rangatahi (youth) arts programme – Ko Tāku Toi Tāku Ohooho.
Led by Māori for Māori, it will teach rangatahi local Māori art styles and history, introduce Māori customary art forms and practices and connect rangatahi to a regional network of professional Māori artists and practitioners.
As well as supporting rangatahi in future pathways in creative industries/trades and contributing to their wellbeing through creative exploration, the programme will also invest in local artists by supporting their practice and creating visibility for them.
"Often our artists are asked to contribute for free or at little cost so this will recognise the value of their input," says Programme Coordinator, Arpége Taratoa.
"The Council grant also means we can create a great youth art hub at Our Place for our rangatahi and provide them with quality workshop materials."
The Community Grants Fund assessment panel was impressed by the calibre of the applications, with many coming from groups that Council has not previously worked with.
"We're really pleased that the fund has reached all corners of our community to offer support to our youth and our elders, our disabled community, and people who need some support for their health and wellbeing – something we are very conscious of in the current Covid climate," says Gareth Wallis, Council's General Manager, Community Services.
"We also have a number of significant cultural projects that support our rich local heritage."
The panel approved 24 applications totalling $874,775 in this first round, with four partnership agreements also coming out of the fund. In addition, three successful applicants to the contestable grant fund have been identified as potential candidates for partnership agreements in the future.
The Community Grants Fund is a new $1.81 million fund approved by Council as part of the recent Long-term Plan.
The new fund is in addition to $150,000 of existing funding already allocated to the Match Fund, supporting community organisations for either one-off projects through the contestable grant fund, or enabling longer-term partnerships through multi-year partnership agreements.
A second round of applications for community grants will be held in early 2022 with a focus on supporting capital projects in the community.

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott proposes plan to prevent mass shootings. Here's how it would work.

AUSTIN — In the wake of mass shootings in El Paso and Odessa, Gov. Greg Abbott on Thursday released a report related to measures to prevent deadly gun violence.
The Texas Safety Action Report comes after meetings were held in Austin and El Paso in response to the Aug. 3 attack at a Walmart in El Paso where 22 people were killed.
The report expands on executive orders Abbott announced earlier this month and offers ideas for the Texas Legislature and state agencies to take up "that can make our communities safer while also respecting the Constitution."
More: Gov. Greg Abbott: Task force won't stop until all steps taken to end domestic terrorism
The Republican governor's proposals include having state lawmakers look at prohibiting so-called straw purchases of firearms under state law and expediting the reporting of criminal convictions to the Texas Department of Public Safety.
Gov. Greg Abbott convened the first meeting of the Domestic Terrorism Task Force on Friday, Aug. 30, 2019, at the Capitol in Austin. "This task force is committed to addressing the horrific tragedy in El Paso, while also combating the threat of terrorism and acts of hateful violence in Texas," Abbott said. (Photo: Office of the Governor)
"We must act with resolve in response to the despicable acts of violence we have witnessed in Texas," Abbott said in a statement. "Solving the problems that have led to these horrific events will take more than governmental action."
Here are some takeaways from the report:
Guns and legislative policies
Abbott suggested Texas lawmakers consider the following policies:
Expediting the reporting of criminal convictions to DPS
Prohibiting straw purchases of firearms under state law to "keep guns out of the hands of criminals while protecting the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding citizens."
Cracking down on criminals who try to illegally buy or possess guns.
Requiring courts to inform convicted criminals that they may no longer possess firearms.
Creating "stiffer consequences for criminals convicted of violent offenses."
Requiring any stolen firearms be reported to the county sheriff within 10 days of when the owner becomes aware of the theft.
Finding ways to make it easy, affordable, and beneficial for a private seller of firearms to voluntarily use background checks when selling firearms to strangers.
Prohibiting juvenile offenders convicted of certain violent crimes from legally purchasing firearms.
The Legislature should spur cooperation to encourage social media companies to report suspicious activity to law enforcement.
Implementing and funding a Texas program, similar to federal initiatives, which uses a multi-pronged strategy of policing and prosecution, agency integration, and identification of violent crime hot spots. According to the office, "the focus would be on criminals with guns, not law-abiding Texans."
Creating a law that works in conjunction with the proposed federal "Protecting Communities and Preserving the Second Amendment Act" of 2019.
Abbott announced the following executive actions, which don't require legislative approval:
More: Gov. Greg Abbott issues executive orders to address gun violence
Strengthen Domestic Violence High Risk Teams in Texas.
Expand law enforcement training offered through the Advanced Law Enforcement Rapid Response Training Center at Texas State University, and develop a public awareness campaign for the "Avoid, Deny, Defend" program.
Refresh training for all licensed peace officers on the procedures and criteria for "emergency detention."
Educate doctors and behavioral health professionals about the law concerning disclosure of confidential information to law enforcement.
DPS should coordinate with fusion centers across the state to promote continuous improvement and accountability.
Accelerate the development and implementation of the DPS safe firearm storage campaign, supported by the recent $1 million appropriation.
Other approaches
The Legislature should work with the TEA to develop strategies to improve parental engagement in schools.
When updating the Health TEKS, the State Board of Education should emphasize student mental health issues, including depression, social media immersion, and drug abuse.
The Legislature should consider amending state law to ensure schools are notified when former students are arrested.
Democrats' reaction
Texas Democratic executive director Manny Ramirez, in Houston for Thursday night's Democratic presidential debate, said immediate action is needed to address the scourge of gun violence.
"There's a lot of things the Legislature should consider, many of which have been authored and filed by Democrats for years," Ramirez said. "But the Republicans have refused to consider them. There's only one person who can call a special session to get these things done. That's Governor Abbott. And he did not do that today."
State Rep. Chris Turner, a North Texas Democrat who leads his party's caucus in the Houston, called Abbott's recommendations "a good first step."
"Many of them mirror proposals Democrats have put forward, such as requiring the reporting of stolen firearms to law enforcement," Turner said. "We also support cracking down on straw purchases and codifying state and federal cooperation.
"With respect to background check loopholes, we continue to maintain that background checks must be mandatory in all gun sales," he added. "Nonetheless, these are all conversations Democrats are ready to have — and an emergency special session is the place to have them if we are to better protect Texans from gun violence."
Sen. José Rodríguez, D-El Paso, said the report does offer "good ideas for addressing gun violence", but that he was "disappointed to see that many of the common sense gun safety proposals discussed at the Texas Safety Commission's meetings were not included."
"For example, background checks for private sales, closing the gaps with current protective orders to ensure guns are removed from violent individuals, extreme risk protective orders, limiting open carry of long guns in public spaces, and limiting access to semi-automatic weapons and high capacity magazines that can kill tens of people in a few minutes as we saw in El Paso and Midland-Odessa," Rodríguez said in a statement.
"Instead, the report appears to be heavily focused on stiffer penalties and increased accountability for criminals who access firearms," he continued. "While these policy ideas are well intentioned, they would not have stopped the shooting in El Paso from taking place."

Rodríguez said he was also troubled that the report didn't mention that the man charged in connection with the El Paso shooting was targeting Mexicans in the attack.
"Our nation had not seen an attack like this before August 3rd, but there is almost nothing in this report that addresses the need to look at how our political leaders - from the President down the line - continue to weaponize their rhetoric against immigrants, asylum seekers, and people of color," Rodríguez said.
"If we can't acknowledge how this rhetoric can shape, and in the case of the El Paso shooter, inspire, violent actions, then how can we truly begin to heal and ensure that another Texas community isn't targeted? We must deal with the rise of white supremacy through honest dialogue and education of our children."

So, it's the middle of the greatest summer in living memory and yet, somehow, it's cold, drizzly and misty as I drive over the moors towards Princetown and one of the most famous prisons we have (it even has its own museum!).
As ever, as it looms into view, it's an impressive site… and my first impression on entering: the gardens are amazing!! My second, there's something different about Dartmoor, in a good way.
The prisoners said they felt 'safe' (more than they did in similar prisons) and thought staff relations were good. They liked the two-week, peer-led 'new prisoner induction', thought 'peer buddies' for prisoners with disabilities and social care needs 'excellent', and said integrating VPs into main location worked 'very well'. They praised education & training (including CSCS training) and the 'brilliant' prison choir project. They liked all day family visits, and single cells 'make a big difference'.
The Officers called the jail 'calm', with a staff 'family' valued by managers and a 'very' visible and supportive No. 1 who 'knows everyone's names' (and sends them all Christmas cards). They also liked Staff Recognition, a monthly training shutdown, wing staff rooms, gym use, an annual wellbeing day, outside family social events, and 'family & friends' open days. Team-based self-rostering was 'brilliant' ('really helps family life'), and communications (including daily briefings and the No.1's blog) 'very good'. They rated the integrated regime, and agreed with prisoners on staff-prisoner relations, education, training, the CSCS course, and single cells.
The managers had fulsome praise for the 'sense of identity', 'pride' and 'resilience' of a staff group with a 'team spirit second to none', and for the No.1 (who, with the Dep, walks the prison weekly, and sees every part of it monthly). They also rated the Staff Recognition scheme, as well as wellbeing and training days, and the popular outreach activities for staff families and friends. They said staff retention was 'very good', and agreed with the others in rating the induction process, peer buddies, and education & training (with '98%' attendance). They also rated the detailed care and management plans, with multi-disciplinary strategy review meetings, for very challenging prisoners.
