Q: Django: displaying all fields of all tables, the dumbest view possible I've inherited a Django PostGres application with a model containing around 40 tables.
I've redesigned the model from head to toe, and now I'm setting in to re-build the web front end.  I haven't used Django previous to this project - and no HTML for many years - but I'm happy enough with the ORM end of Django.
As a raw default, I just wanted to display all the fields of a class on an individual html page.  Any references (i.e. ForeignKeys, or ManyToOne references) should appear as html links to another html page, which displays that class' data.
The application that I've inherited does more or less that, but uses about 50 modules containing hundreds of boiler-plate views, forms, and serializers - absolutely none of which contain anything remotely intelligent in.  The "active" code on each form just sayd 'all'.
Rather than autogenerate this code (yuk!), is there a quick way of asking Django to display a basic tabular view unless there is a bespoke view for the table?

New playground equipment creates a buzz at Greencastle-Antrim Primary School
Echo Pilot
Greencastle-Antrim Primary School students are ready to head outside and enjoy the new playground equipment installed last week.
The children spent the first week of 2023 burning off energy and getting exercise by using interlocking plastic pieces to build things in the pit in the school lobby and walking on the track.
Those were the alternatives while the playground was closed and a handicap-accessible spinner, a climbing wall and a playset with four sliding boards and a bouncing bridge were put in place.
The old playset, removed last summer, dated back to the primary school construction in 1994, according to Kevin Carley, assistant principal, who oversaw the project. Some of the equipment was rotted and the was slide cracked.
See the pictures:First night of 2022 Heritage Christmas celebration in Greencastle
THE MAYOR'S REPORT:THE MAYOR'S REPORT: Winter road maintenance
The playground has been the hot topic on the school district's Facebook page, with over 350 likes or loves by the end of last week.
The project is just one item on a list replacements, repairs and maintenance that had been deferred and for which $300,000 was budgeted for the 2022-23 school year, according to Dr. Lura Hanks, superintendent.
"It is our hope to continue to include the maintenance line item in the budget moving forward," she said.
Other work, important, but not quite as buzz-worthy, included replacing the temporary, movable wall in the elementary school cafeteria/gym; purchasing new cafeteria tables for the primary and elementary schools; buying additional security cameras for the campus; and making minor repairs to flooring throughout the district.

This week I have been writing over at Collins 4 Parents about the fun ways to keep your child learning over the summer holidays. I thought I woudl share a snippet with you here.
We all want our children to have a brilliant time off school but keeping them entertained for 6 weeks can feel like a tall order. But don't panic. There really are a whole host of things to do to keep them learning, growing, busy and happy through the summer.
Your local library will be hosting a Summer Reading Challenge. These takes place every year during the summer holidays. Your child signs up at your local library, and then reads six library books of their choice to complete the Challenge. There are rewards to collect along the way. Libraries are one of our best free resources so we really should take advantage of them!
Keeping children reading over the summer is a good idea educationally too. Research studies indicate that children who don't read or read infrequently during the summer have a decline in their reading skills. After all their hard work over the year at school this would be such a shame.
All sorts of natural reading can occur during the holiday too and this is well worth encouraging. Ideas could include; reading comics, recipe reading, reading out a shopping list or perhaps even reading up on a place you are visiting.
If you would like to read the rest of this article do pop on over to Summer Holiday Activities at Collins also if you pop over to their Facebook page you can catch a little Facebook Live I did for Collins filled with ideas for school summer holiday activities.
Why not pin for later….

You are here: Explore Tunbridge Wells > History of the Town
Fabulous 19th century architecture, Calverley Park Crescent
by Chris Parker
History of Royal Tunbridge Wells
Visitors have been coming to Royal Tunbridge Wells since the discovery of the Chalybeate Spring in 1606. Over the subsequent years the town grew in popularity and gained its reputation as the place to see and be seen.
In 1684 the widow of Viscount Purbeck, Margaret, whose love of fashion and dancing had gained her the nickname of "The Princess of Babylon", provided the land on Mount Sion for the earliest lodging houses and the ground at the northern end of the Pantiles, where the Church of King Charles the Martyr was built.
Visitors who had come to "take the waters" required a place for worship and generously donated a substantial amount of money so that a church could be built.
Sir Christopher Wren sent his chief plasterer Henry Doogood to create its magnificent ceiling. It was here that Princess Victoria attended church services with her mother, the Duchess of Kent.
The Wells became a favourite destination for fashionable society who needed accommodation and wanted places of entertainment such as coffee houses, gaming-rooms and an assembly room for dances and balls. And so the town began to spread.
The Grove is the oldest park in Tunbridge Wells. In 1703 it was given to the towns-people to provide "a shady place or walk" and seclusion from the hustle and bustle of the town.
A deed of endowment was drawn up to ensure that the trees in the Grove were protected. To this day The Grove continues to provide a haven of tranquility for local residents and visitors.
Amusements and Riotous Behaviour in Tunbridge Wells
From 1800 the town grew rapidly. In 1831 there were 5,929 inhabitants and in 1841 this had risen to 8,302. It was the fastest growing town in Kent!
The town became increasingly popular with people seeking the enjoyment of retirement and began to attract an influx of permanent residents.
The cost of living was cheaper than in London but it was possible to get to London as stage coaches ran a reliable service from Tunbridge Wells to London with the journey only taking five hours!
The environment was a great asset to the town "romantic, rural, rugged with a vast variety of different views…."
The surrounding countryside was ideal for walks and rides and early guide books of the town described the country houses that could be visited in the area. High Rocks was a favourite attraction and a popular excursion.
Entertainment for residents and visitors took place on the Common including firework displays, cricket matches, archery and horse racing.
In 1750 Lady Coke wrote to her friend Mrs Eyre describing a typical day in Tunbridge Wells: "The outward amusements are cricketing, horse races and other diversions, such as walking, riding and airing in carriages."
Residents petitioned for the abolition of the races in 1845 on the grounds "that they were a cause of drunkenness and riotous behaviour." Once the race meetings were stopped, the race course was conserved as a footpath and bridle-way which can still be followed today.
Why is Royal Tunbridge Wells Royal?
In 1909 King Edward VII officially recognised the popularity of Tunbridge Wells with its many royal and aristocratic visitors - including his mother, Queen Victoria - over the centuries by granting the town its "Royal" prefix.
Today, Royal Tunbridge Wells, or Tunbridge Wells as it is more commonly called, remains a popular place to live and to visit as it maintains much of its original charm and elegance.
Surrounded by beautiful countryside and just a short distance from London it is an ideal destination for a short break.

The notion of hosting the first-ever New Year's Eve at Red Rocks was ambitious indeed. Upon its announcement many were skeptical — late December is notoriously cold and any kind of ice covering the stairs of the iconic venue is a liability of enormous proportion, especially with a crowd inclined to let their hair down to the extent that was seen at the Magness Arena at University of Denver Sunday night. Headlined by Post Malone, Migos, Young Thug, Lil Yachty, Dizzy Wright and an assortment of hip-hop artists both contemporary and classic, 2018 was brought in with a bang to a crowd of eager fans happy to be enjoying the impressive lineup inside. There were a few who were upset about the venue change, calling the last minute alteration a bait-and-switch, but for the most part, the crowd seemed to welcome the comfort of an indoor venue. Though Magness is fairly nondescript compared with the world-renowned venue in Morrison, the sound was excellent and the vibes remained impressive.
The show ran from 5 p.m. to well after midnight, justifying the rather steep ticket cost of $175. Local celebrity Trev Rich, the only Denver artist to be signed to Cash Money Records, got the party cracking with a short but sweet set of solid turn-up music. Followed by East-Coast legend Cassidy, assisted by Maleman and Jairon, the show paid dues to the classics in a line-up of mostly new and experimental rap. Smoke DZA came through with his well-known love of cannabis and Dizzy Wright brought heavy beats and thoughtful and positive lyricism.
The night was closed out by rap oddball Post Malone. Interrupted by an appearance from Denver Broncos linebacker Von Miller, who conducted the countdown to the new year, the set clearly inspired the crowd who was moved by Post's emotional honesty and exuberance. The 22-year-old singer and rapper had enormous sway and seemed to subdue the crowd to a state of bliss after an evening of fairly aggressive sounds. His pop sensibilities impressed the youth and moved the older crowd. As the large crowd filed out into the frigid night there was a clear sense that 2018 had been opened on excellent terms, the sturdy lineup clearly providing the perfect conclusion to an odd and unsettling year.

Bummer you failed to mention the other Denver big shot on the show, Splyt.
It's University of Denver, not Denver University. Pretty easy to check that name.
Updated. Thank you for the correction.


So maybe I lured you here under false pretenses. Maybe I'm no kind of cook, just a mom with a dayjob and a desktop folder stuffed with navel-gazing meditations on life and death and what consumes all the time in between: parenthood.
Does it matter, so long as I make you a tasty meal now and again?
Without further ado, I introduce a poem I wrote for you.
When you drink chai for a week like it's water.
Every syllable is a proclamation. She needs you to know this.
How many calories of chai? You wonder.
India is a hotel room where they don't change the sheets.
Two towels more, you smile your best American smile. Please?
When the toilet paper is gone, and room service: They won't give you more.
Moments like this – and art projects – reveal the versatility of cardboard tubes.
but too old to remember her mother; passed in her third childbirth, aged 19.
You are just beginning to become old.
a stop between hill stations.
A swirl of hair that can hardly hold itself together. Knotted low on a brown neck still straight and proud.
A language your children can't understand.
When the Gujarati clan from Dubai won't believe you speak none of them.
like moviegoers at the multiplex.
the closing semi-circle of women and men in water, the sunburned shoulders popping freckles as you stammer.
"Pani, upara, beta, came cho, eka minata, dudha," you break down in a string of baby talk.
In retrospect, that's a sentence.
India is mosque, temple, church, mosque, mosque, church, Virgin Mary, Ganesh on every dashboard. Diamonds for sale next to the cool bar selling pepsi and potato chips that is next to the ladies on the corner. They sell fishes wrapped in newspaper.
India is so rich, except when it is so poor.
When you are at your worst is when the children find you. Draw to skin that burns and freckles, clothes cut low, T-shirts that hug. Americans, they will find you.
Tell them "no." Walk away. No rupees for you today.
Your daughter sees them better.
India is where she sees you more clearly, too.
Under the smog of Mumbai and in the sea of Trivandrum.
Over the wall of languages waiting to be climbed every hour. Dog fight at midnight!
A chorus of frogs for when it gets quiet.
India is a place to see past the noise. Listen.

MIKE RADANO, For the Courier-Post Published 11:29 p.m. ET Sept. 13, 2019 | Updated 12:33 a.m. ET Sept. 14, 2019
MEDFORD - It's as if the loudspeaker had been attached to a broken record.
That's an archaic term, one that made sense long ago before any of Friday
night's participants in a game between St. Augustine Prep and host Lenape High School were even born.
Still for those who don't know the origin, the meaning is simple when you ask about the name Hamza Bruce.
"I really never heard my name called tonight," said Bruce, who had a pair of
sacks and ten tackles to go with 12 rushes for 77 yards in a 20-7 win over St. Augustine. "We knew we weren't favored so our energy has been high
since the start of the week. Nobody knew who we were. We showed them
that tonight."

It can be argued that both teams had some recognizable names and
maybe, Bruce entered the night as an unknown. Sure, the junior rushed for
100-yard on opening weekend, but this night had a little extra juice added
to it as the Hermits (0-2, 0-1) entered the night ranked No. 3 in the Courier-
Post Mean 15. Lenape (2-0 overall, 1-0 in the West Jersey Football
League American Division) came in as a relatively unknown team with a
relatively unknown running back.
"I don't take more pride in either side of the ball," Bruce said. "For me, it's
equal. "But coming into tonight, we knew that the defense had to step up. We
knew this would be a defensive game, so I felt like I needed to make a
bigger mark on the defensive side."
Lenape won on this night in large part due to a defense that didn't let up
and never gave an inch to a heralded Hermit squad. In fact, with the
exception of one 53-yard touchdown pass, the Hermits struggled to mount
much of an attack all night.
"(Bruce) is a guy that took a big step forward between sophomore and
junior year," Lenape head coach Joe Wojciehowski said. "That's usually the
case. He matured. He got stronger, he got faster. He's in the gym like a
freak. He fills out a uniform, he's got hamstrings on him. He's powerful and
he's taken the next step.
"As a staff, we thought he had the best August of anybody and that showed
"We all play for each other and I think that's the biggest reason we won this
game," Xavier Coleman said. "That guy (Bruce), he's the hardest worker I
know. He pushes me every single day. All off season, he is on me, let's
work. Let's get work done. I feel like he's finally getting recognition for
getting his work done."
So much so that over and over, his name was spoken through the
loudspeaker on Friday night.
For his part, Coleman never doubted he would influence the final result.
Tied at 7-7, the junior saw an opening on the right side and took it 83 yards
for the go-ahead score.
"Coach told us we had to make a big play," said Coleman, who found the
end zone for the fifth time this season. "My offensive line responded and
did it for me. It opens up and you just go. As soon as I got past the O-line I
was gone.
"It's a big win. We weren't supposed to win this game. We were the only
ones who thought we would win."
HERMIT PRESENCE
Despite the loss, Lenape fans will certainly remember St. Augustine
lineman Isaiah Raikes. The 6-foot, 300-pounder is committed to Texas
A&M as a defensive tackle but plays both sides of the ball for the Hermits.
In fact, Lenape did a good job limiting him after some big runs early and for
the most part stayed away from the big man.
When Lenape quarterback Brady Long ventured too close on a run,
he got caught by the big man's hand much like a bear grasps a salmon
head down stream.
"That guy is going to get his," Wojciehowski said. "I give credit to him. He's
going both ways at over 300 pounds. He's working hard out there.
"He a physical freak and hats off to him."

Why You Should Stop Eating White Rice, According To A Physician
From a nutritional standpoint, white rice pales in comparison to its whole grain cousin, brown rice.
It gets digested quickly, is rapidly processed into sugar, and only fills you up for a short period of time. In comparison, brown rice is processed slowly, churning out a steady stream of fuel to power your muscles and keep you feeling sharp.
White rice is a refined carbohydrate, similar to those found in white bread, flour tortillas, and most breakfast cereals. So inferior is it to whole grains that Roxanne B. Sukol, a Cleveland Clinic physician and the medical director of its wellness enterprise, says people should simply call it a "stripped carb" — because it has been "stripped of all [its] nutrition."
In the book "Grocery: The Buying and Selling of Food in America," Sukol told author and chef Michael Ruhlman that these "stripped carbs" were her chief nutritional concern. In rice, they can be easily avoided by choosing brown over white. But refined carbs lurk in dozens of processed foods as well, including granola bars, baked goods, pizzas, and pastas.
Diets high in refined carbs have been tied to weight gain and obesity. A review of 50 studies on diet and weight gain published in the journal Food and Nutrition Research found that on average, the more refined grains someone ate (like white bread and white rice), the more weight they tended to gain over the study period. By contrast, the more whole grain foods someone ate (like whole-wheat bread and brown rice), the less weight they tended to gain.
"Stripped carbs" start out just like their whole-grain cousins. In the factory, however, food makers remove the grains' nutritious, fiber-rich outer shells, such as the germ and bran. As a result, refined grains have less protein, fiber, and vitamins than whole grains.
Cara Anselmo, a nutritionist and outpatient dietitian at New York's Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, said another problem with refined carbs like white rice is that they are easy to overeat.
"It's definitely easiest to overdo it with drinks, refined carbs, foods that have added sugar or are highly processed — those are things that we just tend to keep going," she told Business Insider.
This doesn't mean all carbohydrates are bad, however. Instead of telling clients to ban things like bread and rice from their diets, Anselmo advises swapping foods with refined carbs for whole grain alternatives, like brown rice and whole-grain bread.
"People need to understand there are nutritious carbohydrates," Sukol told Ruhlman. These include fruits, vegetables, many beans, and legumes, which Sukol said contain a "fiber matrix" that slows down how quickly they get converted to sugar.
Several recent studies suggest that the best diets are based around whole grains, vegetables, and lean proteins. US News and World Report's analysis of the best eating plans described plant-based diets — which have whole grains and vegetables as their cornerstone — as "good for the environment, your heart, your weight, and your overall health."
If you're looking to make a simple, healthy change to your diet, this might be one to try.

After having lost my little girl at 15 months and then a baby boy that never made it to full term, bless him, people seem to think that because of this I'll get upset if they dare to announce a pregnancy or if they announce the birth of their new baby.
I have gotten upset occasionally, usually if the baby boy was born close to Arthur's due date and/or been given the same name but even this doesn't last very long at all.
I'm always happy whenever someone announces a pregnancy that's healthy and the birth of a new baby, especially if it's a close friend or family member, as I love to see other people happy and there are always baby cuddles available.
What really upsets me is when I watch the news and hear of a baby or child that has been abused or murdered by their parents or family? That is what I find really upsetting, as we'd give anything to have our daughter or son healthy and with us, so when I read that someone has actually intentionally injured or killed his or her own child I find it abhorrent. That is the baby news that really upsets me and makes me so angry.
Our daughter was so well looked after yet she still got sick and died, from we think a lung disease, and my son had severe brain damage, yet I looked after myself in pregnancy, didn't drink, smoke or do any drugs other than a pregnancy multivitamin! When I see pregnant women smoking and drinking alcohol that upsets me or women chain smoking blowing smoke over a pram and toddler that angers me too. Violet was never exposed to cigarette smoke. I feel sorry for children that are and want to shake their parents to say "do you know what it would be like if your child died?" That is when I get upset about someone else's baby or child.
Thanks for caring about us though and we really appreciate it when people are so thoughtful to let us know about pregnancies, new babies etc before they then announce it to anyone else or put it onto social media, as it is lovely to know you all care and are still thinking of us. Thank you.

Food Safety Savvy With Jean Dible Corporate Flight Attendant Community: For Private Jet Flight Attendants!
Hepatitis A is a disease that most people have heard of, but really know very little about. In fact, the average person does not know if Hepatitis A is a bacteria, virus, parasite, or combined pathogens that lead to severe illness in human beings. No more doubt, Hepatitis A is a virus!
"Hepatitis A is the most common vaccine-preventable disease in the United States."
A virus relies on a living cell to reproduce, but unlike bacteria, viruses cannot reproduce in food. Even though viruses cannot reproduce in food, some viruses can remain dormant in food and even survive freezing and cooking of the food. Once a human has eaten the food, the dormant viruses then have live tissues inside the human body, which help them to reproduce. The Hepatitis A virus is very slow growing, and the incubation period of the virus can take from 10 to 50-days, but the average time is approximately 30-days.
Hepatitis A is a serious disorder or contagious virus in which the human liver cells become inflamed. The symptoms are mild or no illness, then sudden onset of fever, general discomfort, fatigue, headache, nausea, loss of appetite, vomiting, abdominal pain, and jaundice (yellowing of the skin & eyeballs) after several days. The duration of the illness is 1 to 2-weeks; severe cases may last several months. About 200,000 cases of Hepatitis A are reported annually in the United States, and about 100-Americans die from the disease yearly. Half the reported cases are school–aged children because children tend to put things in their mouths that may look clean, but have been contaminated with the stool of a person with the virus, who has not washed his/her hands properly. Children then bring the virus into the home and contaminate other family members.
Two sources for Hepatitis A will always be the human intestinal tract and feces-contaminated water. If a person is carrying the active Hepatitis A virus and does not wash their hands properly, everything they touch will transmit the virus from their hands to other objects, and of course, food. For approximately 50% of persons with Hepatitis A infection, no source has ever been identified for their illness. It is safe to say that the virus has to get into the body, and in most cases, it is through the mouth in the form of food. Other ways of getting the Hepatitis A virus is through exchanging body fluids and needles, which is less common.
Ready to eat foods usually involved in Hepatitis A outbreaks are: water and ice, shellfish, salads, deli meats and sandwiches, fruits and juices, dairy products, vegetables, and any food that will receive no further heat treatment.
Shellfish are especially "friendly" to viruses because shellfish pump water through their bodies and thus, concentrate food and contaminates, such as viruses, from the water. Once the virus is on or in the shellfish, a live host, it may persist for a longer time than if it were suspended in the water. Since some shellfish are eaten raw or lightly cooked, this increases the risk of foodborne illness.
Produce used for salads, lettuce, spinach, etc.; grow low to the ground where they are more likely to be exposed to contaminated, organic fertilizers, such as manure. In addition, produce is often irrigated with contaminated waters or picked by farm workers with poor hygiene practices. There is no heating step in salad ingredients that would inactive a virus, regardless of how many times catering employees might wash produce for salads.
"For approximately 50% of persons with Hepatitis A infection, no source has ever been identified for their illness."
As the Flight Attendants readers can imagine from the information presented so far, Hepatitis A can come from many different sources, and there is only one safe way to protect your self. Hepatitis A is the most common vaccine-preventable disease in the United States. All County Health Departments throughout the United States offer Hepatitis A vaccines, and these vaccines are your key to protection. The Hepatitis A vaccines are given in shot form in two doses, and the vaccines are usually spaced 6-12 months apart. The first dose of Hepatitis A vaccine can be assumed to protect a person within 4-weeks after injection. Completion of the vaccine series, according to schedule, is necessary for long-term protection. The cost for each dose of Hepatitis A vaccine administered through a public County Health Dept. is about $85. Once the two vaccine doses have been taken, the immunity is life long.
Since the 1960's, the majority of Hepatitis A cases in the United States have occurred in a limited number of states and counties in the western and southwestern United States. (Alaska, Arizona, California, Idaho, Nevada, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Dakota, Utah & Washington).
For those flight attendants who do international travel, during 2002-2004, approximately 75% of all travel-related Hepatitis A cases were directly associated with travel to Mexico or Central or South America. The entire continent of Africa, Arabia, and all countries in Asia are also extremely high-risk areas for Hepatitis A.
Jean Dible is president and founder of GA Food Safety Professionals, a mobile food & alcohol safety training school in Atlanta, GA. Jean is a contributing writer to the Corporate Flight Attendant Community website; her Your Food Safety Connection column will appear on a bi-monthly basis.


Cover of "Buy, Buy for Christmas"
BERLIN, Germany - Nov. 24, 2013 - PRLog -- Berlin, November 21, 2013. A new Christmas song starts to spread its charm one month before the holidays: Singer and songwriter Anna Aliena composed a carol full of ringing chimes, vibrant organ and string sounds. If you don't listen to the lyrics, you may think that "Buy, Buy for Christmas" was another dreamy tune to praise the season. However, the Berlin artist, who has often used sarcasm, mocks at consumption, the exploitation of workers during the Christmas business, hyprocritical togetherness and people who only go to church on Christmas Eve. This sweet and sour Christmas song always stays catchy and its retro style may evoke pictures of a 1950s fun fair.
On November 24, "Buy, Buy for Christmas" is released exclusively at Anna Aliena's Bandcamp profile (anna-aliena.bandcamp.com) where it will be available for free until December 27. A Christmas present from Anna Aliena to her fans and to those who have enough of being exposed to the constant stream of "Last Christmas" on the radio.


What surprise me is the cost, it is a great homage to the Seiko SUS. It has a titanium case, with a sapphire front crystal and display back and runs a NH35A-SII movement.
Your SKX399 looks great on that presidential, is it an Uncle Seiko?
I swear by my life and my love of it that I will never live for the sake of another nor ask another to live for mine.

Knicks guarantee Ryan Arcidiacono, Svi Mykhailiuk deals
Alder Almo
Dec 20, 2022; New York, New York, USA; New York Knicks guard Ryan Arcidiacono (51) celebrates a three point shot against the Golden State Warriors during the fourth quarter at Madison Square Garden. Mandatory Credit: Brad Penner-USA TODAY Sports
The New York Knicks will guarantee the deals of end-of-the-bench players Ryan Arcidiacono and Svi Mykhailiuk for the remainder of this season.
Steve Popper of Newsday was the first to report the news.
The 28-year-old Arcidiacono has been with the Knicks since last season after a pair of 10-day contracts. A former teammate Jalen Brunson at Villanova, Arcidiacono has played sparingly this season, totaling only three points in 25 minutes over 10 games.
On the other hand, Mykhailiuk has appeared in 11 games for the Knicks, averaging 1.8 points and hitting a total of 6 of 10 three-pointers. The Ukrainian wing also played for one game in the G League with Westchester Knicks this season and exploded for 35 points and a franchise-record seven steals.
"As far as I'm concerned, from my end, both guys have been terrific. They're invaluable to us –just the way their attitude and approach, whether it's practice, the game, they're fully engaged. They make things go well. They can fill in. They bring energy every day. So they both have helped us a lot. So I've been very pleased with them."
Tom Thibodeau via SNY
Both veterans are on minimum-salary contracts and will count against the Knicks' cap for $1,836,090 this season.
With their contracts now guaranteed, the Knicks can also add them in potential deals ahead of the Feb. 9 trade deadline, or they could still cut them and eat their salaries if they need to open a roster spot.

Here is a list of people with whom I have written or edited a book or paper. Nine of them are included in the pseudonym "W. E. Opencomb" under which the paper "On the intricacy of combinatorial construction problems" Discrete Math. 50 (1984), 71-97, was written; for six of the nine, this is my only joint work with them.
Colleagues on the staff at Queen Mary (now or formerly) are starred, and my present or former students are double-starred.
The list includes those for which the work has been published or accepted for publication. The total reached 150 on 17 July 2012. Details of publications and articles in press can be found here, while a list of joint papers by coauthor is here.
My Erdős number is 1. See the homepage of the Erdős Number Project for more information.
The rules for Erdős number require that the collaboration involves writing a research publication; editing, writing expository articles, or writing obituaries do not count. On this basis, I believe that all my co-authors have collaborations with me that qualify except possibly for L. W. Beineke, C. Budd, S. Cooter, J. W. P. Hirschfeld, D. Spiegelhalter, D. B. West and R. J. Wilson. (The papers with F. Buekenhout and R. Connelly, though mostly expository, do include new research.) The Erdős numbers of four of these people (Beineke, Hirschfeld, West and Wilson) are not affected; their "Cameron numbers" (computed by the Erdős number rules) are 3, 2, 2 and 2 respectively (i.e. a shortest path passes through Paul Erdős in each case). Chris Budd has Erdős number 4 and David Spiegelhalter 3; both have "Cameron number" 4. Stephen Cooter is not a mathematician.

Indoor air quality is a concern all year-round. Millions of microscopic airborne contaminants can be found in the average home's air. Dust, pollen, dander, mold spores, germs, and all sorts of other horrible things are all likely floating around your home at this very moment. Long term exposure to high enough levels of these contaminants can create a wide range of negative health effects, from allergy attacks to asthma. This becomes more likely during the winter, when people tend to seal off their homes from fresh air flow in order to maintain better climate control.
When it comes to indoor air quality, homeowners in Florida often have to worry about things like humidity levels. No one wants to feel like they are living in a swamp (even if some of us actually do live in one). Humidity isn't the only thing to worry about, however. Read on to discover some of the things that can negatively affect your indoor air quality, and how an air purifier can help restore it.
Maintaining great indoor air quality in Port St. Lucie, FL is every bit as important to your overall comfort as maintaining comfortable temperatures is. That is why you should contact the IAQ specialists at Speedy Air Conditioning Service today if you suspect that the quality of the air in your home is subpar. Naturally, before doing so, you must first recognize the fact that there is a problem with your indoor air quality to begin with. Here are a few potential indicators that you may encounter which can tip you off to the fact that your indoor air quality is not all that it should be. Contact us today to learn more.
First of all, keep an eye on the overall cleanliness of your home. We know, it can be tough to keep up with all of the chores with your busy schedule. If you find, though, that dirt, dust, and other pollutants are frequently building up on surfaces throughout your home, it is also very likely that there are the very same pollutants in the air that you are breathing. An air filtration system can help you to resolve such problems.
You may even find evidence of mold in your home, which can be very problematic. Viruses and bacteria can also roam around your household in the air, putting your health in jeopardy. If you are frequently ill, have insufferable respiratory health issues, or find mold, you may want to consider the installation of a UV air purifier. Such systems can help you to eliminate biological pollutants before they can wreak havoc in your home.
Finally, keep in mind the fact that pollutants are not the only air quality issues that you may encounter. High humidity levels are also quite common in this part of the country. If the air in your home is muggy, the surfaces sticky, and yourself uncomfortable, you may need a whole house dehumidifier to remedy the situation.
Give the indoor air quality experts at Speedy Air Conditioning Service a call today to learn more. We have everything that you need to improve indoor air quality in Port St. Lucie, FL.
When you hire the pros on our staff, you won't have to worry about breathing unhealthful air in your household.

Redlands Classic: Sunset Loop Road Race Delivers Epic Day
Cory Lockwood (Semper Porro) wins the overall GC.
Lockwood escapes to win 35th Redlands Bicycle Classic, Simmons solos to stage victory
Cory Lockwood (Semper Porro) claimed the biggest win of his career after a gutsy move in the Sunset Loop Road Race, breaking away with five laps to go and hanging on with Quinn Simmons (Landis Cyclery) to the line.
"It's fantastic," Lockwood said. "I've been doing this race for quite a few years now. Specifically this race, I remember Paul Abrahams (KHS Elevate Director) telling me, 'someday you'll win this race,' but then I remember coming out here getting lapped and crashing and this and that, 40thplace, but I just kept working at it. It ended up coming around today. It came around on the last day, it's pretty exciting."
An early crash involving Sean Quinn and Thomas Revard of Hagens Berman Axeon, left Kevin Vermaeke with one teammate for the remainder of the race after the two were unable to continue racing. The unfortunate mishap caused some chaos in the bunch, with no one taking up the responsibility to chase.
Lockwood and Simmons' attack held at two minutes each lap closer to the finish, and despite attempts by Johann Van Zyl (303 Project) and Michael Garrison (Landis Cyclery) to bridge across, the duo withstood their separation and came into the five finishing circuits in downtown Redlands with the same advantage. It was the third day spent in the break in as many days but the first stage win for Simmons.
Quinn Simmons wins the Sunset Loop Road Race stage at the Redlands Bicycle Classic.
"A little redemption for sure," Quinn said. "The initial goal was to come here to train, and I definitely accomplished that goal. It's nice to not be a marked rider, maybe now, you only get to do that once in your life so. I worked until Cory got the time gap he needed. I just needed enough time to make it to the finish. I agreed to help him until we got a gap and then it was my job to sit on and wait until the finish."
Alexander Cowan (Floyd's Pro Cycling) won the bunch sprint for third place.
"The race was all over the place, especially with losing Axeon no one really knew what to do," Cowan said. "DC Bank was on the front for some reason and then it went to doo doo. Everyone started attacking and then some bridges started happening."
Kevin Vermaerke (Axeon Hagens Berman) took second overall and Eder Frayre (Elevate KHS) claimed third.
"No one really wanted to take control so there were a lot of people attacking and Corey went up the road, there were other people in a position to work in order to save their positions on GC but nobody wanted to work," Vermaerke said. "We were in a tough position, the break was working well together, but no one wanted to do the work back in the main field and the gap opened up, and it was just a tough day.

Neben earns 4th Redland Bicycle Classic title, Clevenger claims final stage
Erica Clevenger (Sho-Air) claimed victory on the final day of the Redlands Bicycle Classic, outsprinting Sara Poidevin (Rally UHC) in a thrilling Sunset Loop Road Race finale. Lauren Stephens (Tibco SVB) took third place after driving her two breakaway companions to the line in an attempt to claim GC. Her efforts boosted her to second overall.
"This is my second year at Redlands, this is my biggest result of my career," Clevenger said. "I have never had a stage podium before, so this is the coolest thing ever. We had amazing teamwork throughout the race, even without the win this was really special for all of us. We were looking forward to this day, this is a favorite of ours. We had a really good race at Oak Glen and I think we took over the Team GC so I'm super stoked about that too."
Amber Neben did enough to control the breakaway to secure the yellow jersey as the overall winner by 39 seconds ahead of Stephens, earning her fourth Redlands title of her career. Stephens teammate, Emily Newsom, took third place a minute back.
"I really came in with no expectations because I haven't done a lot of top-end intensities so I didn't know how good I was," Neben said. "I knew I had a lot of depth to my fitness but I didn't know if I would be good enough to do the road race. I figured I would have a good time trial but then it's always – the road race is always difficult. I knew I had a young team and this is such a hard race to win without support. My expectations were just to go for it in the time trial and see how long I could defend the jersey if I had it. Every day you're one day closer, you start thinking about winning it."

The 68-mile race started off quietly, but after the first lap the fireworks started, with five riders gaining some distance on the pack. They included Clevenger, Poidevin, Stephens, sprint leader Lily Williams (Supermint) and Emily Marcolini (Tibco). They averaged a two-minute gap for the majority of the stage until the final climb, when Stephens pushed the pace, dispatching Williams and Marcolini. The three carried on, with Stephens sitting at the front, trying to time trial her way to a GC win. She couldn't outpace the peloton, however, and had to be content with second overall.
"Today we were all in to try and take over the leaders jersey, what I did today was part of the plan. The goal was to get Emily (Newsom) to come across but there never was the opportunity and then we were racing for. I had to put in quite a bit of time on Amber (Neben) to be able to take over the jersey so I wasn't quite able to get that much time.
"Sunset is a great course, we always say everything changes on Sunset so no matter what happens the days before," Stephens said. "I actually had a bad climb on Oak Glen so to finish up where I am now is pretty impressive because I had dropped down to seventh. I got from second to seventh on Oak Glen."
Williams secured the sprint jersey, Krista Doebel-Hickok (Rally UHC) won the mountains classification and Anna Dorovskikh (Amy D Foundation) claimed best amateur jersey.

Q: Using a PID controller to manage resources in programs I was wondering if there is a precedent for using PID controller type mechanisms to manage computation resources (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PID_controller).
By computational resources I mean:
  Spare Threads, Spare Processes, Queue Lengths, etc.
For example in apache.conf you can specify the number of spare server, min servers, etc.
The question I have is how do you control the spawning of new server or contraction of your resource pool.
The same could be applied to saw spawning nodes on say an Amazon Grid if your load increases beyond some level.
As a response to this question I am interested in:

*

*If there is a Yes, No, Maybe answer to this questions

*If there are accessible examples of where this is used in the open source world

*If there are libraries that implement PID control in java, python, etc. for this purpose.
Thanks.

A: According to this research article, the Thread-pool in .NET framework seem to have one. I also found articles on load balancing Apache web servers using autonomous control, controlling memory footprint in DB2 etc.
The code here is a java implementation used in an open source project.

Why People Choose to Believe in the False Rape Lawsuit Against Trump and Why People Choose to Ignore Hillary Clinton's Successful Defense of a Rapist in the Rape Case of Kathy Shelton
This election year has been insane, no doubt about it. I'm just ready for it to be over so we can all start dealing with the aftermath of whoever wins, but until then, I came across an OccupyDemocrats video on a friend's Facebook post speaking about the rape lawsuit filed against Donald Trump. I looked it up myself, first Snopes (http://www.snopes.com/2016/06/23/donald-trump-rape-lawsuit/), the California lawsuit filed in April 2016 (https://www.scribd.com/doc/310835987/Donald-Trump-Lawsuit), and the New York based lawsuit filed by the same person in June 2016 (https://www.scribd.com/doc/316341058/Donald-Trump-Jeffrey-Epstein-Rape-Lawsuit-and-Affidavits) which was then voluntarily dismissed by the plaintiff in September 2016 (https://www.scribd.com/document/324233182/Jane-Doe-v-Donald-J-Trump-and-Jeffrey-E-Epstein), only to be filed AGAIN in September 2016 for a third lawsuit.This is such a huge mess, here's the docket from both those New York lawsuits.
June 2016 Lawsuit Docket, Voluntarily Dismissed
September 2016 Docket, Still Pending
(James Cheney Mason was co-counsel for Casey Anthony in 2011.)
Here's more court docs: the California in forma pauperis filing (https://www.scribd.com/doc/310836504/Katie-Johnson-Trump-Lawsuit), the New York amended complaint, the second docket filed September 2016 (https://www.scribd.com/document/326057027/Amended-Complaint-Filed-9-30-2016), the Jane Doe declaration as filed in June 2016 (https://www.scribd.com/document/326057168/Jane-Doe-Declaration-as-Filed), the Tiffany Doe declaration as filed in June 2016 (https://www.scribd.com/document/326057237/Tiffany-Doe-Declaration), and the Voluntary dismissal of Jane Doe's New York lawsuit in September 2016 (https://www.scribd.com/document/324233182/Jane-Doe-v-Donald-J-Trump-and-Jeffrey-E-Epstein).
Now, here are the facts and the confusing parts about them:
Jane Doe was 13 years old in 1994.
In summer of 1994, Jane Doe attended several parties hosted by Epstein in which Trump attended. Why she continued to attend these parties after the first sexual assault is beyond any victim who has been sexually assaulted.
Jane Doe attended these parties on the promises of money and a modeling contract. Her main goal, despite the alleged sexual assaults and rapes and the sodomy that occurred on at least 4 separate occasions was money and a modeling contract. If she continued going to these parties where she experienced these so called horrible sexual things against her will…why did she keep attending? No one held a gun to her head and made her go. She attended out of her own free will because of her own greed and wanting a modeling career.
Other underage girls were said to be in attendance of these parties for the same reason.
Tiffany Doe had promised to pay Jane Doe for attending said parties, however, it's unclear as to whether payment was made. It can only be assumed that payment was made as Jane Doe continued to attend these parties after the first occasion of where she claimed to be sexually assaulted by Trump.
Tiffany Doe recruited Jane Doe to attended said parties.
Jane Doe alleges that she was sexually assaulted and raped by Trump and Epstein on four and two separate occasions, respectively. It was said in the first court document that Jane Doe was sexually assaulted by Epstein on three occasions in which the third resulted in Epstein raping her.
In the first court filing, Tiffany Doe was said to have witnessed or was made aware of three sexual assaults against Jane Doe by Epstein and would be testifying to that fact. However, in Tiffany Doe's declaration, Tiffany Doe stated that she personally witnessed or was immediately made aware of two occasions in which Epstein had sexually abused Jane Doe.
Both Jane Doe and Tiffany Doe alleges that a 12 year old Maria Doe was murdered by Trump and Epstein.
Jane Doe's June 2016 informa pauperis filing reveals that she has not held a job since 2008, in which she neither paid taxes and only made $200-$300 per month as a freelance model in 2008. This is a huge cause for concern. Here is someone who doesn't seem to have any source of income and hasn't been employed in over 8 years and lives in California. Yet, she is asking for $100,000,000 (one hundred million dollars) in damages for willingly attending said parties over the course of four months in summer of 1994 in which she alleges that she was sexually assaulted and raped against her will, of which parties she was promised and allegedly paid for attending and continued to attend. So here is someone who does not hold a job, has not held a job, more likely doesn't even want to hold a job, yet is greedy, greedy enough to attend paid parties as a teenager where she alleges to have been a victim of sexual abuse but continues going to these parties because of money and because of wanting a modeling career.
There are many things wrong with this court case, or series of related court cases. The biggest thing is discrepancies and lies. Discrepancies such as the number of times Jane Doe had been sexually abused by Epstein. Lies included the address and phone number filed in court papers for Jane Doe in California which led to an abandoned property and the phone number went straight to voice mail. Lies also included the alleged conspiracy between Epstein and Trump concerning Jane Doe by making her their sex slave. Dictionary.com defines a sex slave as, "a person who is forced into prostitution and held against their will" (http://www.dictionary.com/browse/sex-slave). Jane Doe willingly attended paid parties over the course of several months in which she was never confined nor held prisoner against her will by either Epstein nor Trump. She was not a sex slave by any means and was never forced into prostitution. Through her own greed, she willingly took money in payment for attending such parties and giving sex. If she was ever sexually assaulted against her will, she would've immediately stopped attending such parties like any normal person who have encountered a traumatic event and distanced herself from Tiffany Doe, Epstein, Trump, and such places. Jane Doe admitted to attending at least four separate parties, at which ever time, she could have just stopped attending but she chose to go.
In 1994, Jane Doe, being only 13 years old, said she traveled to New York City, assuming from California, to pursue a modeling career. Jane Doe did not mention whether she was traveling alone or with a parent or guardian, but I find it incredibly hard to believe someone at that age traveled alone across a country without a job, a guardian, a place to stay, and money. So where were Jane Doe's parents in all of this? Were they aware of their little girl attending parties or being gone for lengths of time away from them? This is pretty far fetched, that a parent would allow their child to travel across a country alone without any financial means nor means of getting around. Greyhound does not allow unaccompanied minors between ages 8-14 to travel alone on a trip longer than five hours (https://services.greyhound.com/en/ticketsandtravel/childrentraveling.aspx) along with other conditions that have to be met. So if Jane Doe traveled by bus to New York City in June 1994 alone, she would've have to only been living within a five hour radius which excludes California.
According to Jane Doe and Tiffany Doe, another minor, Maria Doe, was seen once and then disappeared, allegedly murdered by Epstein and Trump and used at a later date to force Jane Doe into another sexual assault at another party which Jane Doe keeps attending willingly. It's hard to believe that Trump has killed anyone, because he hasn't. He has never made anyone disappear nor has anyone in his present company disappeared, nor have any witnesses testifying against him in various lawsuits and scandals have mysteriously committed suicide and the whole lot, unlike Hillary Clinton who has an entire list of dead bodies to account for. To allege that Trump has killed a 12 year old child, it's interesting to wonder why there isn't a missing child report on this 12 year old Maria Doe or why Trump and Epstein didn't just kill Jane Doe when they were done with her. It's interesting why they just didn't kill her now. It would make sense that she's still alive, if she even existed in the first place, because they're not killers and they never have been. If Maria Doe was 12 in 1994 and mysteriously vanished as alleged, someone would've reported her missing. In 1994, Missingkids.com reported 7 cases of children missing from June 1994 to December 1994 (http://www.missingkids.com/search), none of them the correct age for a Maria Doe and none of them missing around the correct time.
Tiffany Doe, allegedly employed by Epstein for over ten years as a party planner, in which one of which her duties included trafficking young girls to his alleged sex parties, is not a reliable witness. Tiffany Doe, according to her own declaration, is at best someone who entices and pays young girls to attend parties where sexual activities occur, or at worst, is a sex trafficker of young girls. I can't decide which she is yet, if she too, exists. In 1990, when Tiffany Doe was 22, she attended a series of parties held by Epstein in which she was paid to entertain his guests. Pretty much, she prostituted herself. In 1991, she was promoted from a prostitute to a party planner in which her duties were to get attractive adolescent girls to attend the same parties she prostituted herself at, entertaining Epstein's guests. Number eleven of her declaration states: "It was my job to personally witness and supervise encounters between the underage girls that Mr. Epstein hired and his guests". Jane Doe states in the California filed court documents that there have been "scores of teenagers, and pre-teen girls were used as sex slaves by Defendant Epstein and Defendant Trump" at these sex parties. Now, it's hard to imagine one person being able to witness the interaction between these scores of teenagers and pre-teen girls being sexually assaulted by Epstein and Trump. Apparently, there's no other guests, thank goodness, otherwise, Tiffany Doe would have a really difficult time trying to be in many places at once. Where are these scores of teenagers and pre-teen girls that were used at sex slaves by Epstein and Trump at these sex parties? Did they all disappear like Maria Doe? Why again was Jane Doe the only one who hasn't disappeared? And is being paid to willingly attend sex parties really against someone's will? Afterall, Tiffany Doe admitted to prostituting herself to Epstein and many of his clients before being employed by him into hiring other girls, a decade younger than she was, to attend the same parties entertaining guests with sexual activities.
California doesn't have the same laws as New York. In New York, it's considered rape to have sex with anyone under seventeen, even if that sex was consensual. Moving courts from California to New York, Jane Doe specifically states that law because even if she did consent to being paid for sex, as was Tiffany Doe's job of hiring her for such alleged sex parties, it would make her consent void and therefore, it would be rape under New York Penal Code § 130.05(3)(a). Isn't this interesting because as a defense, Hillary Clinton said that the rape victim Kathy Shelton was " emotionally unstable with a tendency to seek out older men and engage in fantasizing" and therefore, was ordered to undergo extensive psychiatric testing at the age of 12 (https://www.scribd.com/doc/229667084/State-of-Arkansas-V-Thomas-Alfred-Taylor). Clinton talked down the pleas from rape to a lesser charge that carried five years, four of which was suspended to probation.
So, there's this alleged rape lawsuit of a 13 year old against Trump in which everyone wants to shout out how horrible of a person Trump is while Clinton defended the 41 year old rapist of a 12 year old girl and successfully lowered his sentence to a year in prison and no one wants to get upset about that?
Yesterday, I was having a discussion with a friend on Facebook about people being upset on how Trump bragged twelve years ago that because he's rich and well known, women let him do whatever he wanted with them. The person said people were upset that Trump was outright bragging about sexually assaulting women without their consent. In actuality, Trump specifically said that the women allowed him to do whatever he wanted, so that meant that they did give consent. And that's pretty much the same thing that is happening here. People want to see what they want to see. And unfortunately, they want to add whatever else they believe according to their own biases against someone that makes things worse than they are.
Finally, my friend said, "I'm actually far more concerned by the fact that Trump seems to be a fraud and an idiot, lacking both even a basic understanding of civics and foreign policy."
I replied with, "I'm concerned with the piles of bodies Hillary Clinton has left in her wake (along with her husband), the many women she's silenced who have been having some kind of sexual affair with her husband, her incessant wish for a Third World War, nuclear war no less, her ties and financial donations from terrorist countries and companies that would benefit greatly in profit from a war, her mental stability and health, her election fraud, her emails and her lies…so yeah, I'd rather take someone a bit green with no experience than a war hungry, cold and calculating person who will destroy us for profit."
To which my friend conveniently just ignores…like how everyone else seems to ignore all the ugly and bad about Clinton and still want to vote for her anyway. If people's only concerns about Trump being unfit for President because he's a narcissistic asshole who likes to brag about how he can get any woman he wants because he's rich and famous and who isn't well versed in civics and foreign policy, then hell, I would rather take that narcissistic asshole who likes to brag about how he can get any woman he wants because he's rich and famous and who isn't well versed in civics and foreign policy over a calculated, greedy, murderous, warmongering, lying, cheating, corrupt asshole whose only good virtue is that she has a vagina and we've never had a vagina for President. Besides, the President has an entire cabinet of advisors who can help him or her make decisions. That's their job and that's why they're there. The President doesn't need to be a know-it-all. Neither Trump nor Clinton knows it all and that's okay. But why really, do people hate Trump so much even if Hillary is basically the devil in disguise?
Trump is racist. Yeah, so is every single person in the world. We're all racist against something, against someone, against a crap ton of things. I'm really racist against humans because there's not enough zombies out there eating their brains. Stupid humans. Still, Trump wants to build a wall and limit illegal immigration and that suddenly makes him racist against Hispanics. There's millions and millions of illegal immigrants in the United States. My mother believes Trump wants to kick out every person of color and leave all white people, which is why she hates him and which is also not true at all. Many people, like my mother, due to personal biases passing around and misinformation, believes that Trump will try to deport every person of color who is illegal, a resident, and even a citizen. Because of misinformation and fear, they hate him. Also ignorance. There is so much ignorance that goes into hating Trump. Most people don't care enough to learn anything about him more than from the snippets of biased news and media they hear or see or memes on Facebook that they read. Yeah, he's a jerk, they all concluded. But hey assholes, we're all jerks, period. And maybe that, that realization that we're all assholes is what doesn't sit with people comfortably about Trump. He doesn't care for the bullshit facade that people pretend they are. He doesn't care to pretend to be someone he's not. He's real, like you and me. Trump makes people uncomfortable because in Trump, people see the shitty person they are, the one they hide from the public view, and they can't live with themselves knowing they are indeed assholes. Jesus Christ, people. It's okay to be an asshole. It's okay to be human.
People say that Trump is the epitome of hatred. I find it funny that these same people are hating on Trump. I have never seen so many hate posts about someone that people don't even know and most blatantly say they don't care to know, they simply hate him. I've seen people talk about how racist Trump is and how he kicks people of color out of his rallies. One thing that all these people fail to mention is how the people that Trump kicked out of his rallies are protestors. No one talks about how wrong it is for Black Lives Matter folks to interrupt peaceful gatherings and even take the mic from presenters to start spouting their message, but Trump is racist because he kicks out protestors at his own rallies? People are fucking idiots. Calling someone a racist because they don't agree with you doesn't make them a racist. Trump isn't racist because he throws out black kids shouting Black Lives Matter or people using profanity at his rallies. He has a right to a peaceful gathering without assholes trying to infringe on his right. And it's absolutely that: assholes wanting to infringe on other people's rights.
Everyone is an asshole. They can pretend not to be. The 30 black students all dressed in black at the Trump rally in Valdosta, Georgia were protestors and by right, should be kicked out. I don't feel pity that they were kicked out. I don't give a damn about the color of their skin. Their purpose was clear, to protest.
Some time ago, a Black Lives Matter co-founder was demanding that all cops be removed from black neighborhoods. I was tired of the fake racism bullshit, so I posted on Facebook saying that we should give them what they want, that we should take all cops out of black neighborhoods, and let black people kill themselves. It is a statistical fact that the majority of black people die from homicide and that the majority of homicides in black communities are committed by other black people. What the Black Lives Matter co-founder was asking was essentially, death to all black people. Of course, people got upset. I was called a racist. And no matter how I explained it and no matter what facts I pointed them to, I was just a mean, horrible racist person who wanted all black people dead. I didn't even say I wanted black people dead. I said they can kill themselves. Big difference. And yes, they will die if all cops are taken out of black neighborhoods because cops are the ones that are actually saving black lives.
Three people unfriended me and because I actually did care about them at one point in time, it hurt me. I was wondering why they couldn't see that the majority of black deaths is caused by violence from other black people. They only saw that white people killed black people. Black people killed black people, but of course that didn't matter because it had to be racism that killed black people, not black people killing each other. And it's this ignorance and blatant stupidity of refusing to believe that black are racist and Black Lives Matter is a racist hate group that produces fucking idiots like the people who unfriended me. I wasn't shouting slogans of killing black people. I wasn't destroying property, rioting in the streets, interrupting other people's daily businesses, stopping traffic, aggressively and even violently protesting at peaceful gatherings, trying to burn black people alive, ordering that black people should be killed, hanged, and the picture posted to Twitter or some social media outlet…I wasn't doing any of these things. Black people were doing these things against white people, but everyone else is racist? I utterly hate the bullshit racism lie. There is no systematic or institutional racism in America. There is no white privilege. If anything, white people are being systematically and institutionally discriminated against, by law, in favor of black people and minorities. Yet, black people cannot be racist. Black people can act like criminals and because they're black, it's racist if they're jailed. I utterly hate this bullshit racism propaganda that does not exist.
And it does not exist because if black people were ever at a disadvantage because of their skin color, then we wouldn't have a black president or black congress members or rich black people or black doctors or black justices or black cops or black governors and black mayors and BET. Yeah, BET. Of course the Oscars can be racist because there's white people there, but BET can't be racist because it's full of black people and black people by their own skin color, can't be racist? Fucking come on, ignorant and stupid people! Everyone is such a fucking asshole, I absolutely hate how people want to try and pretend they're not like Trump when they are exactly like Trump except Trump doesn't give a shit about being an asshole. He doesn't play the fucking victim card or the vagina card or the race card or whatever fucking card assholes play to get everyone else to feel sorry for them. I'm a fucking asshole and I keep telling people that. It's amazing that people keep fucking ignoring me and pretend to be surprised when I don't fall in line with the media bullshit racist we hate all white people and we love all black people even if they're fucking acting like crazy assholes. Yeah, I don't give a shit about someone's skin color. Be real. Don't fucking play me for empathy. Don't fucking pretend you're owed free shit for things that happened hundreds of years ago to not you, and fucking be responsible and own up to your shit. I hate the racism bullshit lie and I will gladly be fucking racist against every stupid human being because they are fucking stupid and stupid does not help advance any species.
So anyways, got off topic there, but that's my rant. To all you Trump haters who pretend like you're not a hater, go look in a mirror because you are so totally hating for no reason other than snippets of media lies and crap you see on Facebook. To all the people who pretend that they're not racist assholes, go look in a mirror because you are totally racist and an asshole. Own up to it. Fucking be you, whoever horrible, awful person you are, and be loud and proud of it. And that is why people hate Trump, because they are as ugly and hateful and racist as they say he is. They just don't want to admit it because unlike Trump who has always been his asshole self, they are still pretending they're the good guys. There are no fucking good guys. Remember, superheroes do not exist.

Нокучич (Nocuchich) — небольшое поселение цивилизации майя в Мексике, расположенное на полуострове Юкатан в штате Кампече, примерно в 8 км к востоку от городка Хопельчен. Здания относятся к стилю Ченес.

Первые фотографии и сообщения о данном поселении сделал Теоберт Малер в 1889 году.

Наряду с несколькими сильно повреждёнными зданиями Малер обнаружил два уникальных монумента. Оба представляют собой обелискообразные конструкции. На первом, высотой около 7 метров, в центре было изображено огромное лицо, на котором виднелись остатки красной краски. Археолог из США Гарри Поллок в 1936 г. обнаружил этот монумент почти в таком же хорошем состоянии, как и Малер, и описал его. Примерно в 1970-е годы монумент был разрушен, предположительно из суеверных побуждений; разрушить его было тем более легко, что он уже в древности стал наклоняться.

Сохранилась почти неповреждённой 9-метровая филигранная башня без каких-либо фигурных элементов (которые, однако, могли существовать на штуковом покрытии, о наличии которого свидетельствуют многочисленные каменные выступы, служившие для его крепления).

But if you need more. I'll be reading, signing and doing an interview… and I'll have Dark Faith & Last Rites, Fresh Blood, Poe Little Thing, and a couple Shroud #6s with me. Come play!
AAAHHHH I can't make it!
Good Luck and I wish I could be there.
