Home / Entertainment / HEAD 2 HEAD: DO YOU THINK DUKE BLAC IS A BETTER PRODUCER THAN GENIUS?
Mehn! What sort of unreasonable thinking is that? Is it not the underground artist that needs help more than the established artist? One thing i know for sure, is that PASCAL would be forever grateful to Dukeblac for believing in him, and not turning his back on him, even when no one believed in him.The PASCAL you know now is a star, but the PASCAL Duke Blac knew back then was just a boy with no money in his pocket but big dreams in his heart.From Pascal's testimony, DUKE BLAC would rather lose money than lose him, cause he felt he was a treasure that couldn't be lost…Now PASCAL is Kinging.
I am sure that these are the reasons why the people think DUKE BLAC is a better producer than GENIUS, and considering everything based on Character and to also add: Quality in Production, cause if indeed Genius was better than Dukeblac, Everything would have been done to get GENIUS to produce for IYANYA but DUKE BLAC proved to have a more mature sound, that's why he couldn't be denied that Golden Opportunity.And to look at it again, all the hit artist that were glued to GENIUS have actually abandoned him for DUKKE BLAC, that should be enough to prove that DUKE BLAC IS BETTER.

[NW] Watashi no Shiawase na Kekkon - 23 - Seed of Suspicion
23 - Seed of Suspicion
They revised the conversation before it was changed.
After Godou went home and Kiyoka returned to the living room after his bath, he noticed this abnormality.
The interior of the house was awfully quiet.
Miyo should be inside, but there was absolute silence. Did she finish cleaning up?
The lights in the kitchen were off, and there was no sight of any fire.
Then, was Miyo in the living room? Or, her own room? No, he didn't sense anyone when he walked past her room just now.
He frowned as he approached the living room. And, then, Kiyoka's ears picked up these broken words.
"…op, …ya. St…er, pl…se…top."
It was Miyo's voice. However, rather than having a conversation, it seemed that she was incoherently muttering.
(What…?)
When he hurriedly opened the sliding doors, he saw Miyo lying asleep on the table pushed to the corner of the room.
There was no doubt that she must have been exhausted and fell asleep on the spot. That part wasn't strange.
Rather, he sensed the faint remnants of a supernatural ability being used from somewhere.
As someone who was constantly accompanied by the supernatural, Kiyoka knew.
(This…wasn't my imagination.)
It was impossible for someone to have visited while Kiyoka was soaking in his hot water bath. If so, he would've noticed immediately. Godou didn't use his power during the banquet. Neither did Kiyoka himself.
This was weird.
Did some nonexistent person who was skillful enough to avoid Kiyoka's detection use their power here? Was such a thing even possible? Or, perhaps…
He only pondered for a moment as his attention was immediately directed to the sleeping Miyo.
"…top, ple…se."
The words coming out of her mouth were a plea.
When he drew closer to her, he saw that her face was wet with tears. Her eyes were closed, but she was having a nightmare with a pained expression.
He wouldn't forcibly wake up her if she was peacefully sleeping, but there was no way he could leave her like this if she was suffering this much.
Kiyoka put his hand on her shoulder and lightly shook her.
"Hey… Miyo, hey, wake up."
"…ya, pl…se."
Even though he called out to her, she continued to be tormented by her nightmare.
He couldn't help it and called out stronger.
When he did, the incoherent muttering that so squeezed his chest stopped, and Miyo opened her eyes in a daze.
"…Hn."
"Get a hold of yourself. …You alright?"
"Hu…uh… Hus…band?"
In any case, there didn't seem to be anything wrong, and he let out a sigh of relief.
But, he couldn't let down his guard as long as the remnants of this unidentified power remained.
"That's right. You looked like you were having quite a nightmare. How are you feeling?"
"Eh? Um…"
Miyo raised her upper body though still not fully awake as she tilted her head, unable to understand the situation.
The streaks of tears on her face were pitiful that he reflexively narrowed his eyes.
"Did you have a bad dream or something?"
One pause later, she opened her eyes widely and new tears began to flow down.
They were different from the first tears he saw from her.
Seeing Miyo cover her distorted face with both hands and curl her thin body made Kiyoka's chest ache.
Before he could think of anything, he promptly hugged her tightly.
"H-hus..band…!"
"I don't care. …It was an unpleasant dream, right? You can cry until you feel better."
Embarrassment didn't at all matter to him.
He understood that the contents of her muttering must be connected to a dream of her life back in the Saimori household. He heard bits of "Stepmother" and "Kaya" so it must not have been a good dream.
"We're engaged to each other. I told you this already. I want us to be open with each other. Say what you think. Rely on me more. Depend on me. Display your bare emotions. Be pampered. Supporting each other is how a married couple is supposed to be, right?"
Kiyoka wondered how much of his words actually reached Miyo.
He believed that at least some of it was conveyed to her. But, there was no doubt that the scars on her heart were far bigger and deeper than he could ever imagine. No matter how much Kiyoka could comfort her as her fiancé, those scars cannot easily disappear.
(I want her freed already.)
There wasn't anyone here to hurt her anymore. Even if they were members of the Kudou family or those around Kiyoka, he would protect her till the end.
"That's why, cry as much as you like. And after your tears dry, I want you to smile once again."
Kiyoka gently brushed Miyo's hair as she pressed her face into his chest and wept.
There was no hesitation in his actions. If this could stop the girl's crying, if this could alleviate her pain, there was no problem. He'll hug her this way no matter how many times it takes.
Rather, he would be delighted if she would cry in his arms no matter how unbecoming it may seem.
After being like this for some time, Miyo began to disclose the contents of her dreams in between sobs.
Her stepmother and half-sister appeared, destroying and burning her deceased mother's mementos. Even though she cried and petitioned them to stop and return them, the two mocked Miyo.
She didn't say if it had actually happened, but Kiyoka immediately understood that something similar must have occurred.
"Must have been hard."
He wasn't talking about the dream. He naturally said these words when he thought about how a young girl less than ten must have felt when she lost the servant close to her and had to spend her life groveling.
Kiyoka could only imagine what the Saimori household must have been like from the documents and impressions, but he wanted to believe that Miyo's heart would one day heal.
"Husband. I-I really…Is it really alright if I am allowed to stay by your side like this?"
That again.
"Of course. Stay here, until death."
He gave the kindest smile he could when his fiancée raised her face to him.
"I believe I told you this already. It'll trouble me if you disappeared."
"…Even if I'm so incompetent and useless?"
"Yeah. Despite all that. …Well, you're not incompetent and useless to me."
Miyo's face turned red, and she turned her face as her teary eyes grew moist again.
"I really don't think I'm the type of person who should receive such words from you. But, if I could stay by your side, I want to be of use to you."
"So, I'll…I'll work harder. To do as much for my husband for as long as I can."
"…Yeah. Please do that."
He was fully aware that this was the current Miyo's limit.
These were the most positive words that she could give after having been denied for so many years.
It was impossible for her to instantly become confident. But, he hoped that little by little, she would gain confidence and believe in both herself and him, her husband-to-be.
(At any rate, what exactly was supernatural presence before…?)
That presence grew so weak now that he could barely sense it.
Could it be, possibly… If the origin of Miyo's nightmares was supernatural… Then, the owner of that power can be no one else but a member of the Usuba family.
Miyo decided to lower herself in her bow even more when she met Kiyoka the next morning.
She had dozed off without waiting for her husband, cried loudly because of a nightmare, and sloppily clung to Kiyoka.
Even if he told her to be open with her feelings, that wasn't how she should've done it. Any female, no matter how old, would have been embarrassed.
Furthermore, she accidentally revealed that she had been continually experiencing nightmares since coming to this home, causing what she believed to be unnecessary concern.
Kiyoka silently listening with a stern look was very scary. His expression gave off the feeling of cold apathy.
He didn't seem angry at Miyo's blunders, but he was shaking.
"Therefore, I would like to rectify by any means."
Miyo proposed to do something as an apology.
She was highly doubtful that making lunch for him would be enough of an apology. Yurie had suggested, so she tried it out.
There was a lunch box already in the house, but as it was filled with Miyo's dishes and carefully wrapped by her, it was filled with her feelings now.
"Thanks, I'll take it with me."
Kiyoka accepted the lunch with a smile, got into the car, and drove off. It must have been her imagination that he seemed to be in a better mood than usual.
"I have to work harder."
She wanted to please him. She wanted to support Kiyoka as his fiancée.
If she poured all her effort in doing each and every thing to the best of her abilities, she may one day become a wife fit for him.

Shannonville Agriculture Society will once again present the annual Shannonville Worlds Fair this August. The fair has reached a very important milestone; this year will be the 160th anniversary. I have been given the distinguished task to make this year a memorable and nostalgic event.
In thinking of events that date back 160 years, buskers came to mind. There is no mid-way at this event and has a relaxed atmosphere, (until the demolition derby starts Saturday night). A few strolling buskers would add greatly to the other events at the fair. The date is August 26-28 2016.
Please contact me k911s@hotmail.com if interested.


I was stoked to be profiled in the 'Draw your Life' issue of Canvas Magazine. They swear they wrote about my illustrations and The Usual, but it's in Japanese and based on the photos they chose of me, the text is more likely explaining to readers what not to wear.

It's a bird…It's a plane! Could it be that Superman is on his way?!
Styled by Candice Marcussen of Hustle & Heart Photography & Party Design, out of Oceanside, Ca; this Vintage Comic Book Superhero Party is packed with POW-erful party details , sure to knock you off your feet!
And a Vintage Highchair adorned with Tassels and Balloons!
This is what Candice shared about styling the party- "For my little man's first birthday I really wanted it to POP!
I was excited to create a Vintage POP Art Comic Book Theme. I found these adorable Andersruff printables that can be found all over the party from the gift tags, large "A" symbols, Large group coloring sheet, invitations and labels, sandwich & popcorn tags, Happy Birthday Banner. I also ordered vintage stamps for the invitations to keep with the vintage theme. There are a lot of Super Hero party items out there and I wanted to stay true to the vintage feel!
I wanted some fun photo booths to remember the day and all those that came to celebrate.I had a black & white dot booth with lots of props right as the guests entered and I also my friends panted the amazing Superman/Wonder Woman inspired prop that we had in the backyard!
For both my kids I made a CD (I know a little old fashioned but people loved) soundtrack for their first birthdays with songs that reminded me of them and went with the theme from the party. Each family got to take one home and we played it at the party.
– The Fox – Ylvis.
My friend Bree helped to design the CD covers as well as the Pin the "A" on Asher-man game.
I did a themed candy table that tied in all the colors to display with the cake using some super hero decor I had from Ashers room (tin lunch boxes and gumball machine). I have this table canopy that I use in situations of harsh sun so treats/cake does not get too hot and melt and the yellow striped backdrop really helped the candy and cake colors pop!
The cake, smash cake, rice krispie treats and cookies were by Kristine Guerrero from Eat Your Cake Too!
Want more superhero party ideas? We've got you covered!

US Uses UN Veto to Block Resolution Critical of Israel
3 years ago tajikistannewsgazette.com Comments Off on US Uses UN Veto to Block Resolution Critical of Israel
The United States has vetoed a U.N. Security Council draft resolution seeking protections for Palestinian civilians, while a U.S.-drafted text that blamed the Palestinian militant group Hamas for the recent surge in violence also failed.
The United States was isolated in Friday's vote on its draft, casting the only vote in favor. Bolivia, Kuwait and Russia voted against it, while the 11 other council members abstained.
Kuwait's proposed resolution had enough support to be adopted, but was blocked by the U.S. veto.
With its votes today, the U.N. Security Council majority showed that it was willing to blame Israel, but unwilling to blame Hamas, for violence in Gaza, U.S. Ambassador Nikki Haley said in a written statement after the double vote. Further proof was not needed, but it is now completely clear that the U.N. is hopelessly biased against Israel. The United States will not allow such bias, which is why we did not hesitate to cast our veto.
This was the second time the Trump administration had used its veto to block a measure in the council it saw as anti-Israel. The first was in December, when the U.S. was isolated 14-1 in a vote calling for the withdrawal of the Trump administration's recognition of Jerusalem as Israel's capital.
Diplomatic drama
Two weeks ago, Kuwait circulated a draft resolution condemning the recent surge in violence along the border fence separating the Gaza Strip and Israel that has killed more than 120 Palestinians since March. Its text deplored Israel for using excessive, disproportionate and indiscriminate force against Palestinian civilians. It also deplored the firing of rockets from Gaza into Israel, but it did not name Hamas and allied militants for conducting the launches.
The Kuwaiti draft also called for an immediate, durable, and fully respected cease-fire as well as asking U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres to report on an international protection mechanism for Gaza.
We deplore that the council failed to adopt the draft resolution, said Kuwaiti Ambassador Mansour al-Otaibi. He said the recent violence proved that the Palestinians were in dire need of protection. He later told reporters that the bloc of Arab countries would consider going to the General Assembly and other U.N. bodies to try to find a way to get it.
The United States was not happy with the Kuwaiti draft and put forward 31 amendments to it on Thursday, which would have substantially altered its substance.
On Friday, council members asked the U.S. to resubmit its amendments as a proper draft resolution. That was the text that had support from only the United States.
Palestinian envoy Riyad Mansour expressed disappointment that the Kuwaiti draft was not adopted, but noted what many observers were saying about the U.S. draft � that this was the first time anyone could remember a council member putting forward a resolution that got only one vote in favor.
If that is not the epic of complete failure, I want you to tell me what is failure in the Security Council, Mansour said.
Israel's ambassador questioned why the Kuwaiti draft mentioned Israel by name five times but did not mention Hamas once.
Don't you know how to spell it? Danny Danon asked council members.
The U.N. has warned that the latest violence between Israelis and Palestinians is the most serious escalation since the 2014 conflict between Hamas and Israel

Q: How do you write the mathematical |x| in haskell? How do you get the (x - y) < 20 always positive?
I'd like to make a condition for:
getJOL :: [Int] -> String
getJOL [w,x,y,z] = if x - w < 20 && y - x < 20 && z - y < 20
                     then "Good calibration"
                     else "Bad calibration"

The difference between two values must be positive.

A: Just use the absolute values abs. This will check, whether the absolute difference is lower than 20.
getJOL :: [Int] -> String
getJOL [w,x,y,z] = if abs(x - w) < 20 && abs(y - x) < 20 && abs(z - y) < 20
                     then "Good calibration"
                     else "Bad calibration"

A: Yes, abs is the function you want. That's the conventional name for |x| in most languages.
BTW you should probably not hard-code the case for exactly four list-elements. It's both unsafe (what if someone hands you a list with five elements?) and repetitive. Just recurse over the list, and abort when a pair with too large distance is found:
getJOL (w:x:ys)
  | abs (x - w) >= 20  = "Bad calibration"
getJOL (_:xs) = getJOL xs
getJOL [] = "Good calibration"

5 Tips for Finding Balance Among the Cookies and Egg Nog
By Lindsey Mathes December 13, 2017 Uncategorized
If there's one common theme I hear from the individuals with whom I work, it's the struggle around all the Christmasy treats that explode this time of year. Everywhere we go there are cookies and cute snowman wrapped chocolates, and they can be especially hard to avoid if you work at a place where you have to walk past them everyday. Heck, just knowing they're down the hall from you can make it difficult. What is it about sweets that takes over our brains?!
Your Brain on Sweets
You have to understand that desserts, and even foods like chips, are highly stimulating to your brain's pleasure centers. This means that despite your best intentions, or even being full from your meal, your brain tells you to eat these things. It actually knows the impact that that cookie will induce before you take a bite, which is why even just looking at or thinking about chocolate can make you start drooling. It's a powerful mechanism, and can be difficult for the person who typically reaches for sweets for pleasure and comfort. Add to that that Christmas cookies can hit some of us with the nostalgia bug, which doesn't help. But not all is lost.
To Eat or not to Eat
So what do we do? Do we indulge and give into every plate of cookies because it's Christmas time and our brain tells us we should? Or do we avoid them like the plague, taking alternative routes to the bathroom to avoid walking past them? Neither. And let me preface this with saying, most people think that because I'm a dietitian I don't ever get cravings or eat dessert, and it's just not true. I used to binge on Christmas cookies for many years so I get it. But overtime, I changed how I approached all food, especially sweet stuff, and it's made a world of difference. Here's what's worked for me and for many with whom I've worked:
1. It's all in the approach
Anytime I'd see a dessert in the past, it was automatic "no, no, no" or "I can't," but then when I would finally give in I'd eat a dozen cookies in one sitting. When I realized that always saying no wasn't helping me I changed my approach . I began allowing myself to have one or two of my favorite cookies, or some of whatever I really wanted, and enjoyed every friggen' bite, guilt free. Now, do I do this everywhere that serves cookies? Nope. But creating allowance for something I really want makes it easier to say no other times I'm tempted.
2. Eat what you LOVE
If you take a bite and think, meh, it's okay, don't eat it! I can't tell you how many times someone has said to me, "I didn't really like it, but I just ate it because it was there." Not worth it, friends. If you're going for dessert, go for something that you absolutely love. Don't settle for the Snickerdoodle when you want a brownie.
I was craving chocolate a little while ago and grabbed some sugar free ice cream that my husband had bought. I ended up eating almost the whole pint and then kept searching for more because I was so unsatisfied! Compare this to when I had a small piece of cheesecake and it instantly hit the spot. Go for a little of the gold, friends. When you settle for the, meh, you'll just continue to snack.
3. Balance it out
I'm SO going to sound like a dietitian here, and I'm sorry. But here's the thing; this works. I do it, my clients do it, and we all feel so much better, but it's so dang cliche. Here it is: veggies and protein. Do you know what happens when I start out my night with spinach and artichoke dip and chips? I eat and eat and then I feel like I have a brick in my stomach. Know what happens when I start with veggies, fruit, some protein, and then have some spinach and artichoke dip? I eat a lot less, feel a whole lot better, and still ended up eating what I really wanted. It's not that you can't have the stuff you love but when you can balance it out you still feel satisfied but do your body so many favors.
4. Don't wait till hunger takes over
What happens when you sit down to a meal feeling starved? Right. Biology takes over and you chow. What happens when you sit down to a meal hungry? A lot less food. So what happens when you're starving and you show up to a party that has an endless amount of various goodies? Right again! If you're headed to a party and feeling some big hungries, have a snack, like a KIND bar, a couple hard boiled eggs, or even half a sandwich. And please don't skip lunch because you're saving up. I promise you that won't go well.
5. Walk away and grab a drink
You know what happens if I stand near the food at a party? I keep eating. Am I hungry? Nope. But it's there and food has these magical powers that can suck you in, so I walk away. If you're at a party, go grab a glass of wine or a beer (or water) and mingle. Aside from the obvious, another reason we tend to keep eating is because we see other people eating and there's this oral fixation thing where we just want to have something in our mouths. Also, people tend to eat when they're nervous or uncomfortable so sipping on a drink while you're catching up with friends, or making awkward conversation, will preoccupy you.
I know this all sounds easier said than done, but I wouldn't share it if I didn't believe in it whole heartedly. If there's one last thing to add it's this: try for better, not best. We tend to jump ship when there's too much to think about or change so just tread lightly.
I'd love to hear from you. Feel free to call, text, or email.

Widzenie przestrzenne jest sumą wielu czynników, wśród których widzenie obuoczne odgrywa chyba najważniejszą rolę. Właśnie widzenie z dwóch punktów stanowi podstawę stereoskopii (zob. też widzenie stereoskopowe). Inne czynniki spotykamy w malarstwie: światłocień i perspektywę powietrzną. Oto siedem wskazówek jednoocznych, którym zawdzięczamy ocenę odległości przedmiotów mimo braku stereopsji:

 Paralaksa: właśnie widzenie parą oczu, które widzą prawie to samo. Ledwie zauważalne różnice między postrzeganymi obrazami najlepiej informują nas o trzecim wymiarze świata, i właśnie zjawisko paralaksy stało się podstawą stereoskopii. Znaczenie tego czynnika maleje jednak szybko wraz ze wzrostem odległości. Patrząc w stereoskop, zamykajmy na przemian prawe i lewe oko. Przekonamy się, że obydwa obrazki różnią się nieco – przedmioty położone najbliżej pozornie przemieszczają się na tle dalszych.
 Konwergencja: oglądając z bliska jakiś niewielki przedmiot, mimowolnie robimy zbieżnego zeza. Osie gałek ocznych ustawiają się tak, aby przedmiot znalazł się pośrodku pola widzenia obu oczu. Najłatwiej udaje się to niemowlętom, które dzięki elastycznym więzadłom ustalającym położenie gałek ocznych, mogą oglądając np. grzechotkę zezować tak bardzo, że matki wpadają w panikę. Również i ten czynnik ma znaczenie tylko przy niewielkich odległościach.
 Akomodacja: oko nastawia się bez naszej woli na odległość do interesującego nas szczegółu znajdującego się w polu widzenia. Patrząc przez siatkę ogrodzenia na daleki krajobraz, widzimy ostro albo siatkę, albo krajobraz. Soczewki w naszych oczach kurczą się lub rozciągają, zapewniając zawsze ostry obraz na siatkówce. Z wiekiem soczewki tracą elastyczność i po czterdziestce wielu z nas trudno obejść się bez okularów. Jeżeli korzystamy z lornetki, to musimy obracając środkowym pokrętłem dostosować ją do odległości od obserwowanego przedmiotu, a zarazem do naszego wzroku. Nasz narząd wzroku czyni to samo – bez naszej wiedzy i woli. W przypadku oglądania obrazów stereoskopowych akomodacja nie odgrywa żadnej roli – wszystkie przedmioty na zdjęciu są jednakowo ostre, bez potrzeby akomodowania.
 Perspektywa geometryczna: z doświadczenia wiemy, że przedmioty bliższe są pozornie większe i że zasłaniają położone dalej przedmioty. Równoległe linie – gzymsy budynków, krawężniki uliczne – pozornie zbiegają się w nieskończenie odległych punktach, położonych w poziomie horyzontu. Znajomość praw perspektywy pozwoliła malarzom renesansu i baroku tworzyć obrazy i freski przedstawiające z niezwykłą dokładnością fantastyczne budowle; niekiedy rzeczywista architektura przechodziła w iluzoryczny ciąg dalszy, namalowany na gładkiej ścianie lub sklepieniu.
 Perspektywa powietrzna: powietrze, szczególnie w wielkich miastach, zawiera wiele cząsteczek pyłu i zawieszone kropelki wody, tworzące mgłę. Wskutek tego położone dalej przedmioty tracą szczegóły, barwy szarzeją, kontury rozmywają się stopniowo. Dawni malarze uważali, że mgła zamazuje odległe krajobrazy, dopiero impresjoniści w końcu XIX wieku odkryli uroki zwiewnych mgieł, przetykanych promieniami słońca.
 Cienie i połysk powierzchni: oświetlone przedmioty rzucają cień. Często dopiero cień ujawnia rzeczywisty kształt pozornie płaskiej bryły. Słońce w godzinach południowych rzuca krótkie, twarde cienie. Dopiero o zachodzie słońca cienie wydłużają się, ślizgając po nierównościach terenu. Światło podkreśla także połyskujące wypukłości brył i fakturę materiału. Malutki refleks światła w źrenicy oka ożywia spojrzenie, nadając wyraz twarzy portretowanej osoby.
 Ruch: poruszając się np. pociągiem, widzimy, jak bliższe przedmioty przesuwają się na tle dalszych, a obiekty na odległym horyzoncie zdają się stać w miejscu. Często jednak wystarczy krok w prawo lub lewo, aby zmienił się obraz w celowniku naszego aparatu fotograficznego, aby powstała para zdjęć stereoskopowych.

U osób, które nie widzą przestrzennie wskutek choroby zezowej postrzeganie przestrzeni (a ściślej wnioskowanie o przestrzennym układzie przedmiotów) odbywa się na podstawie przesłanek nr 4, 5, 6 i 7, a ponadto dzięki doświadczeniu, czyli wiedzy lub podświadomej pamięci o sposobie rozmieszczenia przedmiotów (np. mebli w mieszkaniu) i ich wzajemnych proporcjach (gabarytach).

Many with osteoporosis believe that their condition, which results in a deterioration of their bone structure, will disqualify them from being candidates for implants. So, while an increasing number of Americans travel to Costa Rica for affordable dental treatment, those with osteoporosis stay home and settle for less desirable solutions.
While more testing and adjustments usually translate to a higher price tag, patients in the US can always obtain a far better value just by taking a plane to Costa Rica, where dental care is affordable, safe, and conducted under the same dental quality standards that American dentists and clinics are regulated by.
If you are interested in dental implants in Costa Rica, fill out the "Find a Dentist" form. A participating dental specialist will reply.

Biografia
Nacque a Fontanelle, frazione di Boves, nel 1923. Dopo gli studi nel seminario diocesano di Cuneo venne ordinato sacerdote nel 1947. Iniziò il suo ministero come vice parroco a Roccavione interessandosi fin dall'inizio alla situazione dei poveri e degli orfani. Il 7 ottobre del 1951 fondò una casa di accoglienza, chiamata "Città dei Ragazzi", ospitando cinque giovani rimasti senza famiglia dopo la fine del secondo conflitto mondiale.. All'opera della comunità si unirono nel 1955 le sorelle consacrate. Negli anni sessanta l'attività della casa si estese a diversi paesi tra i più poveri del mondo. La prima missione venne fondata nel 1961 in Brasile, poi in Asia, in Africa, nell'Est europeo, Russia e Albania. Successivamente vennero le missioni in Corea, Madagascar, ed infine Kenya, Etiopia, Bangladesh, Hong Kong.

Le fraternità del movimento creato da Gasparino, poi denominato Movimento contemplativo Missionario padre de Foucauld, consistono in piccole comunità monastiche di fratelli e di sorelle che vivono in mezzo ai poveri nei bassifondi, fra i baraccati, nei lebbrosari, condividendo la vita dei poveri e testimoniando il primato della preghiera.

Nel 1990 la Comunità è riconosciuta ed approvata dalla Santa Sede e nel 2010 composta da una decina di sacerdoti e da 120 tra fratelli e sorelle consacrati, in 35 fraternità sparse nel mondo.

Accanto allo sforzo missione verso i più poveri, Padre Gasparino intensificò l'attività di predicazione ed evangelizzazione, specialmente nella comunità madre di Cuneo che divenne ben presto un centro di spiritualità conosciuto e frequentato da migliaia di persone, soprattutto giovani. Da questa esperienza spirituale e missionaria nacquero numerosi libri e pubblicazioni.

Padre Gasparino morì il 26 settembre 2010.

Casino Control Commission Asks Legislature For Extension On Sportsbook Licensing Deadlines
Written By Matthew Kredell on August 25, 2021 - Last Updated on July 19, 2022
Legislative delays could push the Ohio sports betting timeline past the start of the 2022 NFL season.
The Ohio Casino Control Commission (OCCC) asked the legislature to extend deadlines for issuing licenses.
This request was part of a list of comments and suggestions for amendments to H 29 sent to legislative leaders. The OCCC provided a copy to PlayOhio. You can read those here.
In the bill passed by the Senate in late June, the OCCC must begin accepting applications for sports wagering licenses by Jan. 1, 2022. Then it shall award those licenses no later than April 1.
The OCCC asked to change those requirements to accepting applications within six months of the effective date of the act. And beginning to award licenses within 10 months.
Since there's a 90-day window for the act to take effect, this could take the launch date for Ohio sports betting into late 2022.
Why the delay may or may not be necessary
When the Senate passed H 29, backers hoped the House would concur before taking summer recess on June 30. That didn't happen.
Now the first opportunity to pass the bill will be after the House returns to session Sept. 15.
The OCCC commented on the change:
The dates in this section were proposed when the bill was being contemplated for a June 30, 2021 passage. As such, the Commission is suggesting the specific dates in this section be replaced with a timetable that is in line with the timing previously contemplated.
That doesn't necessarily mean the OCCC will need a full 10 months to award licenses.
Deputy executive director Rick Anthony previously told PlayOhio that he thought the OCCC could complete the process in six months. That could make the original deadline still in play.
But it's better to error on the side of having more time than needed. Especially since there's no guarantee the legislature passes the bill as soon as it returns.
Other OCCC sports wagering suggested changes
The Ohio Casino Control Commission requested 22 changes to H 29 in total.
Strengthen requirements of Type A mobile wagering licensees to have a place of business in the state. Ensure the place of business is operational and regularly maintains employees.
Apply the economic development factors for Type A mobile wagering licensees to Type B brick-and-mortar and Type C restaurant/bar proprietors.
Remove instruction for OCCC to create minimum requirements for capital investment in Type B brick-and-mortar licensees. Using previous suggestion, instead allow Commission to evaluate economic development factors without any one-size-fits-all minimums.
Change the definition of proposition bet to mean "a wager on whether an identified instance or statistical achievement will occur, will be achieved, or will be surpassed, other than the score or outcome of the sporting event or parts of the sporting event, such as quarters, halves, periods, or innings." Well, that sure simplifies it.
Recommends that current participants in the state's voluntary exclusion programs not automatically receive that status for sports betting.
Allow the Commission the ability to issue emergency orders to ensure the integrity of sports betting. This could include emergency suspension of licenses.
Removes criminal background checks and suitability investigations for bars and restaurants with sports betting kiosks.
Require sports gaming proprietors to submit audit of information technology systems and security protocols prepared by an independent third party.
Where Ohio sports betting negotiations stand
Sports betting language in H 29 already has been negotiated by leaders of the Senate and the third-ranking member of the House.
When the House opted not to concur before recessing, Speaker Bob Cupp pledged that lawmakers would work on finalizing language over the summer.
However, with only two weeks until the Senate comes back and three weeks for the House, there seems to be little-to-no progress.
As of this week, lawmakers tell PlayOhio that legislative leaders from each chamber still haven't named conferees to negotiate the bill.
This lack of urgency from the legislature could make the licensing date changes suggested by the OCCC more necessary.

Profitability and gross margin information is vitally important to sound business decision making and effectively competing in your market space. Modern business software (ERP software) is invaluable in collecting data across the enterprise and presenting it in a form that allows timely and accurate decisions. Without technology, collecting, computing, and presenting this information would be a daunting, if not an impossible task.
On the surface, computing profitability might not seem difficult until you explore the elements included in the calculation. Let's take customer profitability as an example. There are many components that can be included or excluded in the customer profitability calculation. In addition to selling price less the product cost for all items the customer purchased, we need to consider: returns, sales commissions, promotional allowances, advertising allowances, slotting fees, discounts, packaging, labeling, shipping, and handling. Without including all of the important elements in the analysis, you don't have a true profitability picture, which makes decision making a much more difficult task.
Many businesses do not have an accurate picture of profitability. This limits their ability to make informed decisions and, in some circumstances, creates a significant competitive disadvantage. I recently worked with a 100 year old manufacturing company in New Jersey that could only estimate their product costs with an accuracy of +/- 30%. Their antiquated ERP software could not capture all of the raw material and production costs, so all they could do was estimate the cost. Unfortunately, they were losing market share to a major competitor who was selling at a lower price point. With 3,300 products and no accurate costing information, the company was severely handicapped in creating a competitive response.
In today's business environment companies must be agile and react quickly to competition, fluctuating product and material costs, regulatory, and compliance requirements. Agility requires timely and accurate information. Today's ERP software solutions, if used properly, are designed to provide the information executives require to navigate the waters to optimum profitability.
Technology is only one of three critical pillars in the successful implementation of ERP systems. Equally important are People and Business Processes. It takes the right people with a positive attitude who are adequately trained to make full use of the technology. Business Processes are where companies frequently fall short. Taking old business processes and applying them to new technology most often achieves a disappointing result. As new technology is implemented, existing processes must be examined, challenged, and redesigned to truly leverage the benefit and value the technology can provide. Just like an annual medical exam or business audit, agile and well managed companies need to do a business process and technology review to optimize the value and return on their ERP investment.


One of the places Ye Hua purposely avoided was the residence belonging to Su Jin. Su Jin was a child of merit whose clan had sacrificed themselves during the Ghost War. Heavenly Lord granted Su Jin the honorary status of Princess for her clan's sacrifice. She raised by Ye Hua's parents as their foster child.
She was Ye Hua's overly talkative, bothersome, and annoying shadow that followed him throughout most of his life. Ye Hua had exchanged than 100 words with her in the span of his 50,000 years of life.
Ye Hua was about to ask her about meeting Si Yin when Ye Hua suddenly changed his mind. Su Jin was lacking compared to Si Yin over abundance of life; it wouldn't be a favorable match for Si Yin. He turned to go back to Xiwu Palace when he heard Su Jin's voice.
"Ye Hua! What are you doing here? Are you here to see me?" Su Jin's eyes sparkled with excitement and surprise.
Ye Hua's face remained expressionless. Since Su Jin was here, Ye Hua thought he would make the inquiry he'd come to make.
Su Jin's eyes flew wide open, and her face lit up with joy. She looked at Ye Hua with delight.
Su Jin couldn't believe her ears. She knew Ye Hua didn't have friends and assumed this was Ye Hua's unusual way of asking about her feelings towards him.
"Is he a Prince?" Su Jin asked sweetly.
Ye Hua let out a single mocking laugh at her absurdity.
"Yes. That's why I was asking." Ye Hua answered, not understanding Su Jin's sudden revolt.
Su Jin brushed off the front of her dress as if to brush off the dirt she'd obtained just from talking about Si Yin.
Ye Hua wanted to walk away, but he couldn't stop himself from defending Si Yin.
"What's wrong with Si Yin?" Ye Hua's eyes were as cold as his tone of voice.
"Name one redeeming quality about that nobody stray fox," Su Jin challenged.
Su Jin threw her head back and laughed believing she'd won this debate.
"I can't name one of Si Yin's redeeming qualities because every one of his qualities exceeds compared to others," Ye Hua stated matter of factly.
Ye Hua walked away from Su Jin shaking his head. It was foolish of him to consider Su Jin worthy of Si Yin. Ye Hua's desperation to keep Si Yin close to him had clouded his rational judgment. Si Yin was too important and unique for any of the women he knew. Ye Hua didn't know anyone he felt was deserving of Si Yin. Ye Hua considered what he could do to be able to spend more time with Si Yin.
It was then that it dawned on Ye Hua that he'd been thinking about Si Yin all day long.
Was this what friendship? Was it normal to think about someone night and day? Someone who wasn't a lover. Ye Hua suddenly remembered Si Yin's sweet scent and felt a real fear within. Ye Hua didn't want to admit it, but he wondered if he was falling in love with a man.
Was he falling in love with Si Yin?
Ye Hua shook his head in denial. No, he loved spending time with Si Yin. He loved being his friend. Ye Hua loved how he felt when he was with Si Yin. Ye Hua loved…..Ye Hua loved everything about Si Yin, and Ye Hua's truthful realization slowly dripped into his mind drop by drop like resin on a pine tree. He couldn't accept this. Ye Hua needed to test himself.
It was then Ye Hua remembered the stunning goddess he'd met in High God Zhe Yan's Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms. She'd made him feel something, so he wondered if meeting her again would clarify his confusion. Ye Hua pushed the documents aside and decided to return to Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms.
Si Yin stayed away from Mo Yuan the following day. She still couldn't get their conversation out of her head. His matter of fact tone, indifferent expression, and pain-inducing words. It was painful for her to accept it. Shifu knew how she felt, but it seemed to mean nothing to him. To Shifu, she was just a bothersome, foolish child. Suddenly she felt the overwhelming desire to drink Zhe Yan's wine until the ground shook beneath her feet and her vision blurred.
Si Yin considered asking Shifu for permission first, but then remembered Shifu didn't seek her permission before breaking her heart with his hurtful words. Bai Qian did something she'd never done during her 70,000 years of being Mo Yuan's disciple; she changed her appearance back to her actual female appearance and walked proudly through Kunlun. Bai Qian saw Mo Yuan spot her and stare in pure shock. She didn't look back even though she was dying to see Shifu's expression before defiantly cloud jumping to Ten Miles Of Peach Blossoms.
Mo Yuan stood in shock for minutes before he could make sense of what he just saw. Even though he had seen it with his own eyes, he still couldn't believe it. Si Yin had walked past him in her real appearance without her concealing spell. Si Yin wore a pale pink gown that hugged her body and emphasized her curvaceous, womanly shape. Her long silky hair down with only a simple decorative silver ornament.
Mo Yuan should have been concerned about one of the other disciples seeing her, but Mo Yuan couldn't get over how beautiful Si Yin was. Mo Yuan had seen through Zhe Yan's spell from the start. He'd even recently seen her perfect bare body, but tonight Si Yin walked out proudly and rebelliously as if daring him to stop her. Mo Yuan regretted not stopping her from leaving. If his feet hadn't refused to move, he would have held her back, but not to scold her. He wanted to touch her and claim her for himself.
Mo Yuan wondered what could have provoked Si Yin to behave in such a rebellious way. It must have been the conversation he'd had with Si Yin the night before. He thought about her defeated expression, and it brought pain to his heart. She was a child, but her feeling for him was sincere, and his disregard for her feelings was becoming more challenging by the day.
She was officially engaged to Ye Hua, and it would only be proper to wait until their engagement was canceled….but what if their engagement leads to marriage? How would Mo Yuan be able to accept that? She had been his little Seventeen for 70,000 years, what would it feel like if she wasn't around? Mo Yuan couldn't remember what it was like before her arrival and her presence, which now blanketed Mo Yuan's life.
Mo Yuan knew where she was going. She was going to Zhe Yan's Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms for one particular reason, and that reason was Zhe Yan's wine.
Just as Bai Qian desired, she drank Zhe Yan's wine until she no longer cared about Shifu. What did he know about love? Bai Qian hoped Mo Yuan's future wife would be very 'mature' or in other words, older than Heavenly Father. He could be with his 'mature wife and let her old body please him in the old way he desired. She angrily threw the empty wine bottle out into the darkness and heard a dull thud instead of shattering.
The stranger chuckled teasingly and asked, "What? No enchantment spells today?

2019: We Are Ready To Recapture Lagos – PDP
The Lagos chapter of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) on Wednesday said it had perfected plans to capture the state in 2019.
Its State Chairman, Mr Moshood Salvador, disclosed this during a chat with newsmen in Lagos.
He said the determination of the party to win Lagos State, for the first time, was unwavering, adding that the PDP had been repositioned to achieve this feat.
Salvador said the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) had disappointed the people of the state and they were yearning for the PDP to takeover in 2019.
"PDP is ready to win the state in 2019; we have perfected our strategies; we are going to kick APC out because they have failed.
"We are not going to reveal or discuss our strategies on the pages of newspapers because the opposition and some people might go and block our strategies.
"But we are ready, party members are ready, we are ready to win Lagos in 2019," he said.
Salvador said the gale of endorsements of Gov. Akinwunmi Ambode to seek a second term by groups in APC was nothing, but mere political gimmicks.
According to him, Ambode has not done much to meet the expectations of residents.
He said it was big irony that a government that was claiming to have done well was imposing "obnoxious "Land Use Charge on residents' properties.
Salvador said the reduction of the LUC after public outcry meant that the government admitted it was unfair to residents.
"A performing government will not impose an obnoxious Land Use Charge in spite of the huge resources of the state.
"If they need money, they should make a lot of investments to get more revenue, not to unfairly tax residents," he said.
Salvador described the announced reduction of LUC as laughable, saying that a total cancellation of the new tax regime would only be acceptable.
The PDP state chairman said the recent hike in Lekki gate toll was not justifiable as the tolls were expected to fall with time as obtained in advanced nations.
He urged residents to vote out APC in 2019 in view of their "draconian policies "and more.
The state party chairman said he had done a lot to repositiion the party in the last one year.
He said membership had increased substantially and that members, through massive mobilisation, now had a sense of belonging in the party.
Salvador said the high turnout of members during the last assembly of the party reflected the new spirit in the party.
On the observed crack in the chapter, he said there was really no crack except people who wanted to do business as usual.
Salvador said people were fomenting trouble because the party must be guided by honesty, discipline and fairness.
"I am an advocate of discipline; I believe in honesty and I think the party should be guided by all that.
"I don't want to talk about those causing trouble because all they want is business as usual and not real change," he said.

I used the Eclipse Plug-in Selection Spy to try and see which plugin provides the import/export buttons at the bottom of the default Preferences page, and it seems to point to org.eclipse.ui.workbench. At least, that's what comes up when I can actually click on the Preferences dialog. When I do Alt + Shift + F1 and try to click on the Export button, for example, the cursor turns back into a regular pointer and the Plug-in Spy window comes up empty when I click.
The class that provides the default Preferences page is org.eclipse.ui.internal.dialogs.WorkbenchPreferenceDialog. This class extends org.eclipse.ui.internal.dialogs.FilteredPreferenceDialog, which has a method that adds the import/export buttons to the dialog upon calling open().
So, I looked in the org.eclipse.ui.workbench plugin to try and find something to put in my activityPatternBinding that would hide these buttons. I tried using
<activityPatternBinding
    activityId="my_hidden_activity"
    isEqualityPattern="true"
    pattern="org.eclipse.ui.workbench/org.eclipse.ui.internal.wizards.preferences.PreferencesImportWizard">
</activityPatternBinding>

to prevent the import class from being shown and maybe that would stop the button from showing up, but that did not work.
Does anyone know how to get rid of these icons without completely rewriting the default Preferences dialog?

A: You can only hide items if the code that creates them calls the activity manager to check if they are being filtered - usually by calling WorkbenchActivityHelper.filterItem.
The import / export code in FilteredPreferenceDialog doesn't make this call so it cannot be removed with activities. I don't see any way to suppress these buttons.

Let's silence the creative writing course snobs
These days, it is normal for authors to go to writing workshops – or teach them. So why does the idea they produce derivative writers persist?

Time to ban ellipses … how to become a writer. Photograph: Alamy
What makes a writer? How do you become one? When I was younger, even asking those questions seemed to disqualify me: a writer isn't something one becomes, I thought, a writer just is. Despite writing, rewriting and reading all through my 20s, I was no closer to completing, let alone publishing, a novel. I realised I would need help if I was going to succeed, and I applied to several creative writing MAs.
This was, depending on who you ask, either a decision that condemned my writing to being forever derivative and tired, or, an important step on the path towards the publication of my first book. The debate about the value of a degree in creative writing has been done, one might think, to death – good writing depends on an innate facility that cannot be taught, versus good writing depends on devoted time, support, and elements of craft that can be studied – yet it continues to rage. This week, a much-lauded debut novel was criticised in a review by an author for its "MA creative writing-speak" and "oh so tediously writing workshop description". For some, "writing workshop" is shorthand for bad. But why?
'One must have in mind between 68 and 73% of the ending' before starting a story, my teacher once advised
I enrolled on a fiction MFA at Boston University. My decision to study in the US had more to do with funding than anything else: I couldn't afford to pay fees, and BU offered full financial aid. There, I was taught by the author Leslie Epstein, who distributed a document called Tips for Writing and Life at the beginning of the year.
Epstein's "tips" were alarmingly specific. "One must have in mind between 68 and 73% of the ending" before starting a story, he advised, tongue only slightly in cheek. Writing about dreams was discouraged, if not outright banned, as were ellipses, abstract nouns and satire.
The purpose of Epstein's approach was not to churn out Epsteinian clones, all writing identical books; it was to impress upon students the need to master strong, clear writing, to develop a foundation robust enough to support original ideas. It seems to me no different to musicians practicing scales, or artists studying anatomical drawing. If there are such things as institutional styles, they are likely because students choose to attend courses taught by writers they admire, not because their education has instilled in them an institutional formula. I now teach creative writing myself; nothing could be less productive or more boring than forcing all my students to write in the same way.
My MFA was about more than learning how to apply Epstein's "tips". It was also dedicated time for writing, spent in the company of other writers. I learned how to formulate criticism of other people's writing that was pertinent to my own, and receive it in turn. I felt as though my classmates were holding up mirrors to my face; I saw myself more clearly than ever before. If "writing workshop" is shorthand for any kind of writing, it is work whose author has taken time to share, listen and revise.
Access to creative writing courses is, as with all higher education, an issue: funding remains sparse, so a writer's ability to enrol can be dictated as much by finances as potential. Loans are a risky route into training that should not, and cannot, promise any financial return. But for those who can find funding, it's an important path for under-represented writers towards publication. Fellowships such as UEA's crowdfunded BAME writers' scholarship seek to support voices currently chronically under-represented in publishing.
A creative writing degree is not necessarily, therefore, a marker of privilege. The ability to study, practice and network independently is equally dependent on resources not available to all. Those who are working or supporting families, particularly away from publishing hubs such as London and New York, cannot always dedicate energy to a job that so often feels fanciful. Many, nonetheless, do – there are countless ways, it turns out, to become a writer – but for those who are overburdened or lacking confidence, the respite and respect afforded by workshops can be transformative. It was for me.
At the end of a year of workshops, each member of my cohort at BU received a "global fellowship": funding to travel anywhere in the world for three months. I chose to go to Bleaker Island in the Falklands, where I sat by myself and wrote. This experience informed my first book Bleaker House, which explores the journey I took to finally being able to call myself a writer: it was a route that wound through jobs I hated, experiences that challenged me, the MFA classroom, and a windswept island in the South Atlantic. The global fellowships were an acknowledgement of something very obvious about that journey: a writer does not emerge, fully-formed, from a degree. Writers must continue to hone their craft for the rest of their lives.
Buy a cat, stay up late, don't drink: top 10 writers' tips on writing
Writing, like anything – from athletics to nuclear physics – depends on a basic degree of talent, which can be cultivated through training. So let's stop pretending that devoting a year or two to studying writing in the company of others is anything other than a valid step towards a literary career.
Nell Stevens is the author of Bleaker House. Her second book, Mrs Gaskell and Me, is published in September 2018.

HorseSports are proud to support successful eventing and dressage rider Angela Lloyd.
Competing with two main horses, Angela is eventing on Lyrical (Lilly), and riding dressage Level 7 on Ruanuku R (Ru) who is getting some great percentages in his musicals. She is also bringing on Ru's son, Raucous, with 'a bit of everything' as he competes in both eventing 1* and dressage at level 2, and working with her dressage horse Leandro.
A full time equestrian, Angela combines competition with her work as a national coach and running Springbush Equestrian with her partner Tich Massey, who is an international cross country course designer and builder.
Angela is eventing 1* at present but has competed at 3* previously on many horses – including the famous Gandalf, who was sold to Mark Todd to take to the Olympics, and Song, Lyrical's half sister. In dressage, Angela is currently competing Prix St George at level 7, and clocked up a second at HOY in the GJ Gardner Dressage Kur. Future goals include taking Lily to 3*, with this journey well on the way after a recent win at the Taupo Fibrefresh 3 Day Event. With Ru, Angela aims to compete Grand Prix.
Angela rides Ru in an Albion Revelation dressage saddle from HorseSports, and sports her Pikeur tails in the arena.
A great admirer of Ingrid Klimke, Angela began riding at eight and competing at twelve. Since then she has racked up numerous placings and wins, including one day champs in 1* 2* and 3* eventing. Her favourite place to compete is of course Springbush Equestrian!

The landscape is affected by natural processes and human activities as well as interactions between the two. In the competition for Finland's best landscape project, landscapes and projects associated with them are understood in a wide sense, and the organisers invite candidates to enter different projects implemented in recent years. The projects can be related to natural or cultural landscapes and rural or urban areas alike. The sites may be valuable landscapes or cultural environments, but candidates are also encouraged to enter everyday environments and restoration projects of degraded landscapes in the competition. Both traditional and modern perspectives on the landscape will be welcome.
The competition will close on 2 September 2022. You can enter by using the form provided on the competition's website or a freely worded proposal that contains the corresponding information.
The winner will be Finland's candidate for the Landscape Award of the Council of Europe
The winner will be announced at the Landscape Symposium in Helsinki in autumn 2022. The Landscape Symposium is a national event for shaping perspectives on the implementation of the Council of Europe Landscape Convention in Finland.
The landscape project chosen as the best in Finland will be the Finnish candidate for the Council of Europe's Landscape Award. This award is presented every two years under the Council of Europe Landscape Convention in Finland, which Finland became party to in 2006. The winning projects and all those that participate in the competition promote the attainment of the Landscape Convention's objectives and represent exemplary achievements of landscape management in Europe.

Marshall Depot Board shares Amtrak's plans to restore staffing
iexposedus	Travel	 May 22, 2020 May 22, 2020 5 Minutes
Marshall Depot Board shares Amtrak's plans to restore staffing that was eliminated in 2018 at the Amtrak station in Marshall, Texas and 14 other cities nationwide
Passenger rail advocates from the Marshall Depot Board of Directors shared exciting news on Wednesday that Amtrak is in the process of restoring, in the coming month to six weeks, the paid Customer Service Representative positions at the Marshall, Texas station, as well as the staffing of 14 cities nationwide, which were all eliminated by Amtrak in 2018.
Christina Anderson, member of the Marshall Depot Board and I-20 Corridor Council, who, along with her husband former Harrison County Judge and former Texas State Senator Richard Anderson, headed up the local and regional grassroot efforts in 2018 to urge Amtrak to not eliminate the important staffing at the Marshall station and the other stations nationwide, shared the following statement, on behalf of the Marshall Depot Board:
"During the sadness and difficulty of the ongoing pandemic and with continued gratitude for the brave service of our frontline workers and all working together to battle the current health crisis, we're very grateful and honored to be able to share some welcomed and happy news with our community and region. On Tuesday, May 19, we received a phone call from Amtrak informing us that Amtrak plans to restore the paid Customer Service Representative staffing at our Marshall Depot station, as well as at the 14 other U.S. cities who had staffing eliminated in 2018."
Ms. Anderson added: "Congratulations and much appreciation to all who worked with such dedication—locally, regionally, and nationally—on the grassroots effort to help Amtrak understand the critical role that staffing of our stations plays in our rural and urban communities, plus the critical role that Amtrak's long-distance National Network plays in providing much-needed transportation options to citizens throughout America. Our community greatly values and appreciates our strong, long-standing partnership with Amtrak, as Marshall is proudly one of the stops along the Texas Eagle route. And, with regard to this issue, we are grateful that our local and national unified voices were heard."
Cathy Wright, President of the Marshall Depot Board, echoed this sentiment: "We're so appreciative to all who worked so hard and effectively to bring about this successful outcome, not only in 2018 but over the past two years. We're thankful for the strong working relationship we have with Amtrak, now and in the past, and we look forward to the relationship continuing to strengthen in the many years to come."
Amtrak shared the information that there would be a posting internally within Amtrak for the two restored Customer Service Representative (CSR) jobs in Marshall from May 20-May 27. The jobs will then be posted externally. One CSR agent would work Monday through Thursday, the other CSR agent would work Friday through Sunday, for a fully-staffed station in Marshall.
The CSR agents will provide service at the Marshall Depot station in the three hours before, during, and after the arrival and departure of the northbound, as well as the southbound trains on the Texas Eagle route, which provides service between Chicago and San Antonio. The northbound train to Chicago departs each day at 7:31pm and the southbound train to Dallas-Fort Worth and San Antonio departs at 7:50am. Marshall is one of only about 525 cities nationwide that has an Amtrak stop.
By way of background, Amtrak announced in the spring of 2018 that the company planned to eliminate the Customer Service Representative staffing at the Marshall Depot station by the end of June of that year.
At that time, Amtrak also announced the elimination of staffing at 14 other cities–Texarkana, Arkansas; Cincinnati, Ohio; Topeka, Kansas; Meridian, Mississippi; Tuscaloosa, Alabama; Hammond, Louisiana; Charleston, West Virginia; Fort Madison, Iowa; Ottumwa, Iowa; Garden City, Kansas; La Junta, Colorado; Lamy, New Mexico; Shelby, Montana; and Havre, Montana.
In 2018, upon hearing the news of the proposed staffing elimination, members of the Marshall Depot Board went into action to inform the community and region about the proposed de-staffing and to mobilize them through a letter-writing and petition-signing campaign to Amtrak officials and members of Congress.
"We worked not only throughout our community and region," Richard Anderson shared, "but also with advocates in some of the other 14 affected cities. We also worked with national rail advocacy groups such as Texas Eagle Marketing and Performance Organization (TEMPO) and Rail Passengers Association to raise awareness with members of Congress and Amtrak about the negative economic, tourism, and quality of life impact that the staffing elimination would have on Marshall, the other cities, and the National Network."
The Marshall Depot Board received more than 750 signatures on the petition from citizens throughout the region. Petitions were provided to be signed at community events and at local business such as The Ginocchio Restaurant, East Texas Office Supply, Central Perks, Red Poppy Hair Salon, and the T & P Railway Museum, located at the Marshall Depot.
The final petition from our region was presented via mail to the President of Amtrak, Chairman of the Board of Amtrak, as well as to various members of the Texas Congressional delegation.
In the ensuing months, through a continued collaborative effort by rail advocates nationwide concerning the 15 affected cities and related routes, advocates were able to convince Congress to provide the directive to Amtrak to restore the CSR positions in all 15 cities, including Marshall.
Dr. Bill Pollard, President of the Texas Eagle Marketing and Performance Organization (TEMPO) who also served for nearly 20 years as volunteer Local Revenue Manager for the Texas Eagle, underscored the importance of the CSR staffing to the safety of Amtrak stations.
"Due to their knowledge, experience, and recurrent training," Dr. Pollard shared, "the Customer Service Representatives provide services to ensure safe entraining and de-training of passengers, safety on the platform, assistance to persons with disabilities and/or special needs, assistance with luggage, and other important services. They are often the 'face of Amtrak' and are the initial or primary contact for the traveling public to access Amtrak's important transportation services."
Ms. Anderson shared that the Marshall Depot Board looks forward to sharing additional information as things progress regarding this positive news regarding the restoration of the Amtrak staffing.
She shared: "We can't underscore enough how fortunate we are to be an Amtrak-served community and the important economic, transportation, and quality of life benefits that Amtrak and the Marshall Depot provide our community and region. We're also thankful to be a part of such a strong local, regional, and national network of grassroots advocates in support of passenger rail. Plus, in this uncertain time of the pandemic, we're fortunate that two jobs are being added to the Marshall economy."
Cathy Wright added: "On behalf of all the members of the Marshall Depot Board, we wish to thank everyone in our community and region for their support of Amtrak and the Marshall Depot."

Q: Slide modal from top on JS command Starting point for my question, this Codepen
I have been looking for a way to get a slide on page that would be triggered by a JS call. Looking around, the pen above seems to be what I am looking for, but instead of a JS function, the animation is triggered by a checkbox.
One of my options would be to make the button invisible and trigger the checking using jQuery like this
$("#toggle")[0].checked = !($("#toggle")[0].checked)

While this line works, I am trying to find here a more JS/jQuery animation solution, if that makes sense.

A: The option of hide check and trigger the checkbox will work ... other thing you can do is add -- remove a classname but you need to change the CSS.
If you want just simple Jquery you can use slideUp / Down ...

$('.container').click(function(){
  $('.message').slideToggle(500)
})
* {
  margin:0;
  padding:0;
}
.container {
  padding:50px;
}
h1 {
  font-size:40px;
  font-weight:bold;
  color:#191919;
}

h2 {
  font-weight:normal;
  font-size:20px;
  color:#888;
  padding:5px 0;
}

.message {
background:#181818;

Happy day friends, hope you are having a swell week thus far. I am always looking to the future, always want to know what's next in regards to everything. It's actually a trait of mine that I can't stand, I am very impatient and always looking for change. Ready for the next big thing. Even in regards to fashion, I am this way! So it's no shocker that today I want to share with you what I am loving about spring trends for this year. I know its the middle of winter, but I am ready for warm, sunny rays! I have to say this season's trends have got to be my favorite I have seen in a while. I feel that styles never truly change, but are modified. I am loving what I see though. Here are Pantone's colors for spring, they may as well have called them Marcy's colors because they are all seriously my favorite colors to wear!
Oldie, but goodie. Can't go wrong with this classic American style.
You know I love fringe. 😀 So glad its sticking around.
These shades of white and blush are so romantic and airy.
Floral, floral, and more floral! This style is always the perfect spring vibe.
This feminine, vintage style is so chic. A simple sash, or tie can really bring something extra to any look.
I hope you are as excited as I am for spring to roll around, now that you have seen just a few of the amazing trends to fall in love with this season.
Have you entered the amazing giveaway I am apart of? Check out my instagram! The winner is announced Friday.
I am loving all of these so much! I can't wait until Spring!

Q: How can I see my service logs on Choregraphe Log Viewer? I have several QiMessaging services and I use qi.logging to log some info/debug messages on the console (see qi.logging API). When I run the service remotely I can to see the logs from qi.logging but when the service is running and installed on the robot I can not see any logs from Choregraphe Log View. Is it normal?
I tested and this util tool but the result is same.
Do you have any idea why this is happening?

A: Have you checked the "Show all logs" checkbox at the bottom left of the log view?
I run this script (using the stk utilities you link to):
import stk.runner
import stk.logging

class Activity(object):
    APP_ID = "com.aldebaran.testlogs"
    def __init__(self, qiapp):
        self.logger = stk.logging.get_logger(qiapp.session, self.APP_ID)

    def on_start(self):
        self.logger.warning("THIS IS MY LOG!")

if __name__ == "__main__":
    stk.runner.run_activity(Activity)

... and get the logs in Choregraphe:
[INFO ] core.processmanager.qt :callBackStateChanged:0 testlogs.main has started
[WARN ] core.alservicemanager :startService:0 'startService' is deprecated: Use 'start' instead
[INFO ] core.processmanager.qt :start:0 Starting /usr/bin/python2 scripts/main.py in /home/nao/.local/share/PackageManager/apps/testlogs
[INFO ] core.alservicemanager :start:0 Starting service testlogs.main
[WARN ] com.aldebaran.testlogs scripts/main.py:on_start:20 THIS IS MY LOG!

Which version of Choregraphe / NAOqi are you using? If my memory serves me well the logging may not work right in NAOqi 2.1, but later versions (2.5 on Pepper, 2.8 on NAO v6) should work fine (I haven't tested recently though, so could be misremembering).
Note that you can also use the Log Viewer tool in Monitor.

Home/Politics/Biden says $ 1,200 stimulus checks should be at play in Covid reduction talks
Biden says $ 1,200 stimulus checks should be at play in Covid reduction talks
Zetpress December 5, 2020
President-elect Joe Biden said Friday that another round of coronavirus stimulus checks for US families "may still be in the game".
"I think it would be better if they had the $ 1,200 [payments to families]"Said Biden when asked at a press conference to respond to criticism of a new Covid relief plan that was unveiled this week as the starting point for the final round of negotiations on Capitol Hill.
Biden added, "And I understand that maybe that's still in the game. But I'm not going to comment on the specific details. The whole purpose is that we have to make sure people don't get kicked out of theirs." Apartments, losing their houses, can have unemployment insurance [that] They can keep feeding their families if we let the economy grow again. "
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., And Senate Minority Chairman Chuck Schumer, DN.Y., have a bipartisan relief plan of $ 908 billion as a basis for talks with Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky, supported.
On Friday, Pelosi told reporters "there is a momentum" towards lawmakers hitting a deal.
Biden has approved of the plan as a "good start" but has promised to press for further help when his administration takes over. At the press conference, Biden wouldn't say whether he spoke to McConnell.
The proposal doesn't include a second direct payment of $ 1,200 to most Americans. Pelosi and Schumer have been calling for another stimulus check for months as part of the trillion relief supplies they were hoping to approve.
When Democratic leaders relented and asked for talks to begin on the $ 908 billion measure, they stated that "we and others will offer improvements."
Some Congressional progressives have questioned how much relief a bill would bring if it didn't include direct payments or a solid unemployment insurance supplement. Senator Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., Said he would only endorse a bill if it contained a stimulus check or scrapped Republican claims for liability coverage, according to NBC News.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Rep., DN.Y., told NBC News that she was open to support the package. Nevertheless, she criticized a lack of direct payments.
The bipartisan plan includes funding a second round of the small loan paycheck protection program, providing relief to state and local governments that may have to cut essential services and money for schools. It also includes money for the transportation and distribution of vaccines.
Skeptics like Sanders and Ocasio-Cortez fear they won't put enough money straight into Americans' pockets. While it grants a weekly unemployment benefit of $ 300 per week, the amount is half of the weekly $ 600 allowance passed by Congress in March. The provision expired in July.
Biden previously approved a much larger relief bill that the House passed earlier this year. At the press conference on Friday, he stated that the $ 908 billion proposal is "just a down payment."
Nonetheless, Biden signaled a willingness to compromise and said he was confident that the congressional stalemate would lead to an agreement in time to "keep us from getting off the sidelines".
"If you insist on everything, you probably won't get anything on either side," Biden said.
