Q: Show image next to element on hover? When I hover a .tags I'd like to show the image https://mal-stats.glitch.me/tagslegend.png next to it.
Test it out on this page.
I'd like to see this when not hovering .tags (all the cells in that final column have tags class):

and this while hovering the first .tags cell:

The image should align with the cell that is being hovered.

I know how I would do this with javascript. I also know how I could do this if I could change the html.
Because it's a user-stylesheet though I can only use CSS.

How do I do this in pure CSS?
I'm assuming I'd have to use pseudo-elements somehow, but I don't have enough experience to even know where to begin.
This is basically where I'm at:
.tags:hover:after {
  background-image: url(https://mal-stats.glitch.me/tagslegend.png);
}

but it doesn't work. I've seen examples that set display: block and then width and height, but the image from /tagslegend.png is dynamic. If that's a huge problem I can change that, but a solution that works with any widths and heights is best.

The code will need to run on this page, but b/c it's been requested in comments here's a minimal example:

.tags:hover:after {
  background-image: url(https://mal-stats.glitch.me/tagslegend.png);
}

    Foo
    Bar
    Baz
    Hover me

A: You almost have it, you should be able to do it like this:
.tags {
    position: relative;
}

.tags:hover:after {
    position: absolute;
    right: -200px;
    top: 0;
    width: 200px;
    height: 30px;
    background-image: url(https://mal-stats.glitch.me/tagslegend.png);
}

You'll have to play with the width/height position-right to get it exactly how you want it.

A: Since you're using a pseudo-element with a background image, you'll need to include content, give it some width/height, and set a display mode that allows setting width and height.
Here's an example:

.tags:hover:after {
  content: "";
  display: inline-block;
  width: 10px;
  height: 10px;
  background-image: url(//via.placeholder.com/10x10);
}

    Foo
    Bar
    Baz
    Hover me

For reference, see:
Why do the :before and :after pseudo-elements require a 'content' property?

A: Try this:
.tags {
  position: relative;
}

.tags:hover::after {
  content: '';
  position: absolute;
  left: calc(100% + 30px);
  top: 0;
  width: 1000px;
  height: 1000px;
  background-image: url(https://mal-stats.glitch.me/tagslegend.png);
  background-repeat: no-repeat;
}

We have applied the Hauser-Feshbach statistical theory, in a Monte-Carlo implementation, to the de-excitation of fission fragments, obtaining a reasonable description of the characteristics of neutrons and gamma rays emitted before beta decays toward stability. Originally implemented for the spontaneous fission of 252Cf and the neutroninduced fission of 235U and 239Pu at thermal neutron energy, in this contribution we discuss the extension of the formalism to incident neutron energies up to 20 MeV. For the emission of pre-fission neutrons, at incident energies beyond second-chance fission, we take into account both the pre-equilibrium and statistical pre-fission components. Phenomenological parameterizations of mass, charge and TKE yields are used to obtain the initial conditions for the fission fragments that subsequently decay via neutron and emissions. We illustrate this approach for 239Pu(n,f).

There Will be More Wealth Confiscation, Without a Doubt !
May 1, 2013 by mosesman
'There will be more wealth confiscation, without a doubt'!
by Richard Evans, http://www.telegraph.co.uk/
Savers and investors face further "wealth confiscation" in Europe as the continent struggles to resolve the single currency's problems, a bank chief has said.
European politicians will take the "easy option" of taking money from the rich rather than raising taxes and cutting spending to deal with the continent's debt problem, Lars Christensen, the head of Saxo Bank, said.
Asked if the raid on uninsured savings in Cyprus would be repeated, he told City AM: "There will be future bail-ins [loss of deposits] and other types of confiscation of wealth in the eurozone, without a doubt.
"There's no other realistic way forward if politicians continue to fail to deal with the basic indebtedness problem across Europe. They will either have to raise taxes and cut spending, or politicians will take the easier route and take money from the rich."
Earlier this week savers at Bank of Cyprus saw 37.5pc of their balances above €100,000 converted into shares, with a further 22.5pc at risk and 30pc frozen.
Following the Cyprus deal, several senior German economists proposed that wealth taxes be used to fund future bail-outs in the eurozone, with British owners of holiday homes potentially in the line of fire.

Eleanor "Ellie" McCrackin
Los Angeles, California:
How it Looks on Postcards
For all the world to see, Los Angeles, California, is a show. If you think of LA as a tourist, your "must see" list is longer than the time you have. If you think of the city as home, you think of show business, wealth, beautiful people, scenic landscapes, shopping, surfing on high waves, tanning on sandy beaches, and beautiful weather. The city also has a rich history that reaches from the coast of the Pacific Ocean to the San Gabriel Mountains.
It was 1769 when the Spanish explorer Gaspar de Portola named this "newly" discovered area Nuestra Señora la Reina de Los Angeles. The City of Our Lady Queen of the Angels is today the hub of most everything "western." By the mid-1800s pioneers from around the world came to know of "LA" and were packing their belongings in shipping trunks and Conestoga wagons. When their plans were final, thousands headed west toward the setting sun. The travel wasn't easy, but mankind has been quite determined to overcome hardship on his way to success.
Investing in Los Angeles – as new citizens arrived, was a spectator's sport. Businesses sprang up in every corner of the city and dozens of workers stood in line for each available job. The investments had many faces: houses, churches, hotels, markets, manufacturing, and later libraries, museums, theatres, railroad stations, sports stadiums and arenas, schools and colleges, and government. By the 1890s the population reached 50,000 souls and growth was beyond every expectation. Each year of the decade brought something new:
1893 – Lewis L. Bradbury erected the first multi-story office building. The Bradbury Building became the first office complex to become a travel destination; tourists waited for hours to visit its stunning skylit atrium and to see the elaborate ironwork.
1896 – Colonel Griffith donated land near his ranch to the people of Los Angeles. The people thought that Griffith Park would be an appropriate name.
1897 – The first automobile appeared and soon afterward LA was the first place with a school for auto repair mechanics.
1898 – Los Angeles Symphony Orchestra became the fifth in the nation.
1899 – Hollywood Cemetery was founded and later named Hollywood Forever.
By 1900 the population doubled to 102,000.
As the Twentieth Century began, new construction in Los Angeles was no longer front-page news. It was expected. Here are some examples.
Angel's Flight, completed in 1901 became the world's shortest railroad.
The Plaza Church became the home of the Claretian Fathers in 1908.
The Normal School at Fifth and Grand Avenues became the Los Angeles
Public Library when the school moved to a new facility in 1923.
Grauman's Chinese Theatre opened in 1927. The cost to Sid Grauman was just over two million dollars. It opened to the public with the premiere of Cecil B. DeMille's King of Kings. The footprints ceremonies conducted for movie stars commenced with Mary Pickford and Douglas Fairbanks on April 30, 1927.
The whimsical design of the Brown Derby Restaurant completed
in 1926 was meant to catch the eye of speeding motorists.
The Shrine Auditorium was one of LA's first earthquake-proof and fire-proof buildings. Built in 1926, it has one of the largest stages (12,000-square-foot) in the world. Seating capacity: 6,300.
City Hall, at 32-stories, was LA's tallest building until 1968. Built in 1929, it has the unique characteristic of having its concrete mixed with sand from all 58 of California's counties.
The University of California at Los Angeles was founded in 1919 and in 1929 had grown to what we see on this card. Royce Hall in the background and the Powell Library (with the dome) were in use, and the lake has not yet been filled in to accommodate the Dickenson Courtyard.
The Los Angeles Times newspaper was first published in December 1881 in a small brick building on Temple Street. Union terrorists dynamited the building in 1910 and killed 21 people, but the newspaper survived. In 1935 the Times moved into this Art Deco building designed by Gordon Kaufman.
By 1940 operations at Union Station were in full swing. Service was available on the Southern Pacific Railroad, the Santa Fe Railroad, and the Union Pacific. Designed by the Parkinson firm, John and Donald Parkinson surprised travelers with Mission styled ceilings, marble floors and a 135-foot tower featuring clocks that could be seen for half-a-mile.
Today, the City of Los Angeles is home to almost four-million people, it is the second largest city in America. Some detractors have nicknamed it La La Land and Tinseltown, but it still draws 50 million visitors every year and it enjoys a healthy economy where a broad range of professional and cultural fields are open to all-comers. Oh, did I mention how nice the weather is?
Ellie McCrackin is a pen-name used by one of America's foremost archivists. Preferring to remain in the background, Ellie ghost writes for some of the leading world historians. She loves postcards and loves to write about the stories they tell.

What a wonderful description using postcards to take us back in time through Los Angeles. Personally I don't care for the "welcome to ___" postcards, but that's just a visual preference. I love the old buildings though. I wonder if the Brown Derby Restaurant still exists.
Keep on writing Ellie, you do a great job!
Reply to Christina Avila
The Wilshire Boulevard Brown Derby closed in 1980 and was demolished, but the hat-shaped structure was preserved and placed on the roof of the replacement building. I grew up in the Cleveland area, where there was (and still is) a chain of Girves Brown Derby restaurants not connected to the iconic California originals. .

Hello Ellie ! I hope I can meet you in person some day. This LA article and cards of yours "warms the cockles of my heart: I lived in Glendale until 1955 and moved to San Diego when marrying a SD native. Downtown LA on the cards is remembered with joy.

Peru is a country rich with fascinating history. Tales of the Incas continue to capture the imaginations of thousands, as hordes upon hordes of people travel from far and wide to explore the countless ruins of this ancient empire.
After our first "lazy" day in Cusco, having drunk lots of "mate de coca" (coca tea) in order to prevent the "soroche" or altitude illness from hitting us, we were ready for our first excursion in the Cusco region: the Sacred Valley of the Incas. We had bought some notebooks and pens at a local store in Cusco so that we could hand them out to the kids that we would meet along the way. In fact, at our first stop along the road somewhere outside Cusco, children dressed up in traditional clothing were already waiting for us.
The kids try to draw the tourist's attention with their colourful costumes in order to earn some soles in exchange for having a picture taken with them, while their parents sell handicrafts or clothing. You will come across many small markets along the route of the Sacred Valley, some only consisting of a few plaids on the side of the road with all kinds of craft products; others more " structured" in the hope to attract big groups of tourists.
After a few days enjoying Cusco and its surroundings, we were ready to see one of the world's most impressive cultural sites: Machu Picchu. Early in the morning we took the backpacker's train from Cusco to Aguas Calientes, a small town, full of hotels and restaurants, and famous for its hot baths. We had planned to go to Machu Picchu the next day, so on this first day in town, we walked around the village and visited the baths. As my purpose was to sunbathe and not to have a swim, the mosquitoes found pleasure in my pale skin. A tip for all visitors: put on anti- repellent, and loads of it!!.
But my itching legs could not retain my excitement for our journey to Machu Picchu. The bus ride, uphill to a height of about 2.350 meters above sea level, takes about 30 minutes. It is recommendable to take the bus early in the morning, in order to arrive at the site as early as possible, around 6.00 or 6.30 am. As our official tour was going to start at around 8.30, we had some time to discover the place on our own. We decided to get the tickets for the hike to Huayna Picchu ("young peak" in quechua, as opposed to old peak / Machu Picchu), for which there are only a limited number (400) per day given out.

With Stoke City and West Bromwich Albion readying to spar it out on Sunday lunchtime, the sporting world is also eagerly anticipating Floyd Mayweather and Conor McGregor's boxing bout on Sunday morning, a spectacle which Mark Hughes believes could 'distract' his players.
With the show-stopping fight commencing in Las Vegas in the early hours of Sunday morning, Hughes is concerned that the event could 'impact' on their performance against the Baggies, and is determined to ensure that his players' minds are solely focused on the task at hand when they travel to The Hawthorns.
"So it's something we're very well aware of. The hype surrounding the event is there — there's a huge amount of interest from everybody, but clearly we've got to make sure it doesn't impact on our game.
"Whether we have a way of managing it, I don't know but that will be the plan. It's very early — 4.30am, 5am, so maybe we can record it and the lads can see it a couple of hours later.
Hughes refused to shake Tony Pulis' hand in the same fixture last term, so perhaps instead of niceties, the Premier League bosses will opt to touch gloves in the technical area instead, as they both prepare to outwit one another with a sucker-punch or two on the pitch, rather than in the ring.

Another Perspective on Atlas Shrugged
(part 1 | part 2: The Strike | part 3: Who is John Galt? | Another Perspective)
Reading how White Supremacists see themselves in Camp of the Saints made me consider Atlas Shrugged from a different perspective.
Point number 16:
Apart from the obvious takeaways mentioned earlier, there's another way to look at this novel, and it answers the questions of why the book has endured so long despite being so terrible on so many levels, and why Rand wrote it in the first place. Surely she didn't really believe the rich were just inherently better than everyone else by virtue of their wealth, did she?
The book also speaks to people on another level. Specifically, it speaks to people with psychopathic tendencies. The definition of psychopath is a lack of empathy, and Ayn Rand describes a world in which certain people who feel no compassion for their fellow creatures are made to feel guilty for being what they are.
Isn't that what culture continuously states? That if you have no compassion, you're a bad person--in fact, you are the villain in every movie, every novel, every poem, every song ever written. From birth, you are told that to have no regard for how your actions affect others is a bad thing, and it makes you a horrible person and you are dangerous and need to be converted. This forces the psychopaths of the world to live a lie--to act in a way that creates the illusion they have empathy and compassion for other human beings so they can function in society.
Rand takes this shame society places on people like herself and reframes it as a virtue: people without empathy are the kind of people who get things done, who make the world go 'round, the best and brightest in society. They're the type who tend to be able to acquire billions of dollars, therefore they are the real human beings. Everyone else who is ruled by empathy (and Rand exaggerates the empathy to comical levels in Atlas Shrugged) is trying to run the world that way, and it's a disaster. She must have drawn the conclusion that Communism, as she imagined it to have been practiced in Russia, was empathy taken to its logical extreme.
Rand does more than merely tell the rich they are God's gift to mankind. She is speaking to all people who secretly have no empathy for other human beings and telling them they are not alone, and they shouldn't feel ashamed for being what they are. They should be proud, and they should not have to hide what they are because this lack of empathy is their greatest asset. They're the kind of people who get things done, and they are destined to rule the world.
This is why Atlas Shrugged has endured. The business world is run by people who have no empathy, and they have been raised on a steady diet of objectivism, taught that empathy is in fact a toxic emotion, and the lack of compassion is man's natural state. If you view the story from this perspective, it makes much more sense.
Of course, Rand leaves out the reality that psychopaths tend to be best at using other people as tools, regardless for how it affects those people, and this is how they make all that money: by living off compassionate people's work and enriching themselves in the process. This is, of course, the very behavior Marx was writing about in his manifesto on communism.
The reason I draw parallels between Atlas Shrugged and Camp of the Saints is because both books essentially do the same thing. They both take a group that is typically shunned by collective society and cast them as the heroes, the people who see the truth despite society telling them they're bad people. In Camp of the Saints, racists are the guardians of civilization. In Atlas Shrugged, psychopaths are the people who get things done in the world.
As with Camp of the Saints, there are people out there who believe Atlas Shrugged is how the world works. These people are in positions of power, and they are molding the world into this shape. Keep that in mind next time you vote.

Boca Juniors open their 2019 Libertadores campaign away to Jorge Wilstermann
Jorge Wilstermann v Boca Juniors (Tuesday, 20:30 Cochabamba, 21:30 ART, 19:30 EST, 00:30 Weds GMT)
Last year's Copa Libertadores runners up Boca Juniors begin their quest to go one better on Tuesday night as the group stage of the 2019 competition gets underway. Boca are visiting Cochabamba, Bolivia, to take on Jorge Wilstermann, and readers in the USA can catch the game via the beIN Sports live stream available through Fanatiz; head to this link and use the discount code hopfz to get 20% off your first three months with the service.
Wilstermann – best remembered to Argentine fans as the club who shocked River Plate 3-0 in the first leg of their quarter-final in 2017 before going down 8-0 in the Monumental a week later – have had a mixed start to their Bolivian División Profesional campaign, with four wins, two draws and four defeats so far. Their most recent match was last Wednesday, when they drew 3-3 at home with Destroyers (oh how I love Bolivian club names) in a match which featured most of the players who are expected to start for them tonight.
According to Bolivia's Diez, the hosts will field a 4-3-3, with veteran defender Jorge Ortíz at the base of midfield and former Boca youth player Cristian Chávez as the creative midfielder against his old club. Chávez's ability to join the forward line, and Brazilian winger Serginho's habit of dropping a little deeper than the front line, mean that the formation could well end up looking more 4-2-3-1 at times. Serginho's fellow Brazilian Lucas Gaúcho will lead the forward line.
Boca's Superliga match on Friday night was their most confident performance yet under new boss Gustavo Alfaro, and ended in a 3-1 win way to Unión. La Nación reckon they'll be unchanged here, which means a surprising-for-some place in the starting XI for Carlos Tevez (Mauro Zárate is clearly the better option these days, but will be on the bench), and a rough 4-4-2 which, with Nahitan Nández and Iván Marcone sitting deeper, and Tevez dropping off line-leader Darío Benedetto, will, similarly to the hosts' system, look a lot like a 4-2-3-1 most of the time.
For gamblers, Boca are obviously the favourites, but Wilstermann hold a significant joker in the altitude of Cochabamba. While nowhere near as high as La Paz, they're still at 2,500+ metres above sea level, and if there's one thing seasoned Libertadores watchers know well it's that Bolivian sides are experts at making those conditions count. I still think Boca ought to win, but I believe the safest value lies in the goals market: with Boca's attacking threat, Wilstermann's iffy recent defensive record (they've played five games since their last clean sheet) and the wildcard of the altitude, this should go over 2.5 goals.
Don't forget if you're reading from the States that by signing up to Fanatiz you can enjoy beIN's coverage of the Libertadores and the Sudamericana this year. That discount code again is hopfz.

Sagging can occur earlier than anticipated, besides those with very small breasts. It is not uncommon to see teens with drooping breasts. One more reason breasts are thought to sag is extreme weight.

For example, by negotiating drug prices instantly with pharmaceutical corporations negotiating standard charges with the medical occupation, or reducing unnecessary health care prices. Social schemes sometimes function contributions related to earnings as a part of a scheme to deliver universal health care , which may or may not also involve using industrial and non-business insurers. Essentially the extra rich pay proportionately more into the scheme to cowl the needs of the relatively poor who subsequently contribute proportionately much less. There are normally caps on the contributions of the rich and minimal payments that have to be made by the insured (usually within the form of a minimal contribution, similar to a deductible in business insurance fashions).
I also agree about the relevance of Laing (see previous post about Mad to be Regular movie, which I also saw yesterday) and Basaglia (e.g. see one other previous put up ), each for therapeutic communities and important psychiatry. And, as was stated yesterday on the conference by Jo Moncrieff, the 'elephant in the room' when speaking about 'restoration' is that psychological health issues tend to be seen as brain illness. Such objectification of people might make psychiatry part of the issue reasonably than essentially the answer to their problems. Part of the motivation of Laing and Basaglia was to counter this development.

Valley Talk #4: B'nai Israel: Woonsocket's Gorgeous but Little-Known Synagogue
Woonsocket's Jewish congregation, B'nai Israel, was founded in 1893, but did not build its own synagogue until 1962. Beginning in 1904, it occupied a former church, at Greene & Bernon Streets, which has subsequently become home to many others. A new Woonsocket synagogue was envisioned as early as 1944, but plans did not move forward until 1960, when a fundraising campaign gained momentum and an architect was hired. Samuel Glaser, a Boston native, had designed numerous commercial, residential, and educational buildings, but had built only one synagogue, Newton's Temple Shalom, in 1955. Though trained at M.I.T. as a traditionalist, Glaser succeeded as a modernist. In addition to bold forms and flowing spaces, he also sought handsome embellishments. Thus, for B'nai Israel he was instrumental in hiring several key avant-garde artists, including: Ludwig Wolpert for metalwork, Anni Albers for weavings and, most impressively, Avigdor Arikha for stained glass windows. B'nai Israel's 30 windows, which illuminate the sanctuary and auditorium, may be the finest cycle commissioned by an American synagogue during the postwar era. Indeed, Glaser's building remains an architectural treasure. Unfortunately, the congregation's membership reached a peak of about 200 families during the 1960s. In recent decades, having struggled to survive, it now faces an uncertain future. What will become of Glaser's masterpiece?
George M. Goodwin is an art and architectural historian with a special interest in synagogues. He belongs to Temple Beth-El in Providence, a notable example of modern design and decoration built in 1954. Goodwin, a past president of the Rhode Island Jewish Historical Association, has edited its journal, Rhode Island Jewish Historical Notes, for 19 years. He also coedited The Jews of Rhode Island, which was copublished by the University Press of New England and Brandeis University Press in 2004. He is a frequent contributor to a monthly newspaper, Jewish Rhode Island.

MMountain biking through the Kruger National Park is a wonderful way to get up close and personal with the local terrain, and to see some fascinating and beautiful creatures.
To take part, you need to be reasonably fit as the trails take you through wild bushveld; turning back will be just as strenuous. Trails are graded so you can pick the ones you prefer; green is moderate, while the black trail is technical and strenuous.
YYou can choose to do a morning or afternoon ride, each of which should last about four-to-five hours. The full-day trail experience usually takes about seven hours. Once in the Kruger Park, head to Olifants Camp where the cycling trails start. It's also one of the most popular camps, with a magnificent view and a huge elephant population. Here you'll get a mountain bike, a helmet, fill up your water bottles and choose some high-energy snacks for the route.
The Hardekool-Draai trail is the easiest, though it is the longest at 24km. Six riders are picked up in a Land Rover and transported on a game drive to the start. From there, you cycle your way towards a river where you'll experience unparalleled game viewing. Snacks and refreshments are served under the trees, while armed rangers ensure that you—and the game—remain at a comfortable distance from each other.
The Letaba Route is designed for mountain bikers looking for a hard-core, off-road gravel and bush experience. It's gritty and fun and is considered one of the best in the world. For those who are looking for a real challenge, this is the one to choose.
On these routes, you will occasionally head off the transport track onto the "wild highways". These are the pathways that animals use to get to watering holes and hides. This is one of the closest ways to truly experience the bushveld.


I really need to get something out there.
It might be a small Novel when I'm done, but I need to say it, bear with me.
I have responded to many, many people who are requesting help with their children's situations that regard bullying.
I do this because I know the hopeless feeling of not being heard. I have felt the pain and fear in our children's faces and hearts. I have known the fear of sending our children into "the war zone", day after day…hoping today will be better but knowing the chances are pretty slim. I do this because I want to help our children. I want to help families, to be happy and less stressed.
I WANT CHILDREN TO BE CHILDREN!
I do this by writing letters, making phone calls to endless Child Services and Programs, Counsellors, Psychologists, Psychiatrists etc. I contact anyone who may potentially work with children. I send emails, I send out Action Cards, I respond to messages and emails. I phone parents who just need someone to talk to that understands what it is like and that desperately need help. And every time I share, with whomever, what is working in our home… No Such Thing As A Bully (NSTAAB) is working in our home!! I know if you look at my profile, it states that I am a PR person for NSTAAB, and I am! And I love it! I actually feel like I am doing people and potentially the world a service. I feel, in my heart, that I am meant to help people. I spend a minimum of two to three hours a day, working on spreading the knowledge of a system that has helped my son. Sometimes I am up until the wee hours of the morning making lists, researching people/agencies that might be in a position to help YOUR kids, as it has helped Breck.
As I have said in many posts, Breck has his confidence back, he is able to think through the bully actions, the reasons one might be doing the action, how he could respond (usually a list of two or three scenarios) and he is able to pick the one that he feels is the best route, FOR EVERYONE INVOLVED! Not just himself but EVERYONE involved. It has broadened my boys perspective on the subject of bullying. It has helped him to not only get himself out of the situations but it has given him the compassion to change the way some of the kids around him, deal with bullying. It has also helped Breck to recognize his own bully actions and tendencies…we all have them! It is a win win system!!
I am far from perfect, I will never pretend to be! This system has helped me as an adult, reflect on my own feelings and actions!! My reasons for doing some of the things I do. I have coping mechanisms, self preservation techniques. I grew up on the streets of Saskatoon really…did I honestly think I wouldn't?! I have been in counselling since I was eleven. It's not that I haven't worked on myself, to be a better person then I used to be, I will do that until the day I die; strive to be better then I was yesterday. I have done plenty of work and still this system has helped me recognize things in myself that I have yet to be able to crack with the help of a counsellor…SELF REFLECTION PEOPLE!!!!! I think this aspect of the system scares a lot of people, but we shouldn't fear looking back on ourselves. Self Reflection is a great thing and that is when change can truly happen. As I had mentioned it helping Breck with reflection on his own actions, it has helped me look back on mine. Just look at my original post about Brecks suicide attempt…that is/was a bully action in its own right. I called on an entire town, essentially, because of how they treated my boy and myself since we moved to this area. I was pushed to a snapping point and snap, I did. This system helped me to reflect and quickly move from anger feelings to solution driven actions…think about that. I can be angry all I want but it won't make the situation any better, it will only add logs to the fire. So I decided to move forward, in ACTION!! NSTAAB has helped me do that!! Kelly Karius has helped me do that!! Ron Graham helped me do that!!! These two beautiful people made this system possible!! I am eternally grateful for them!
Here is the kicker, it's the best part for me, truly! I said I was "done making money, that I wanted to make a difference"! I am LITERALLY doing just that! I am finally making a difference, one phone call, one email, message and day at a time AND I'm NOT getting paid to do it. I do it because I feel it is important, because our children are worth it!!!! DAMMIT THEY ARE!!! I do it because I KNOW it works! The Parents Manual is the best $21.00 you could invest in, for your child's future.
So when you hear me talk about No Such Thing As A Bully (NSTAAB), please know I am saying it, not because they pay me to talk about and promote their System, books and services….KNOW that I am saying it because my son is literally LIVING breathing proof that it WORKS!!! In the year and two months since his suicide attempt, NOT ONCE since applying this system in our home, has he regressed to the point where I fear that he will try to take his life again. I do fear for that, only because it will forever be in the back of my mind and I have my own issues with it…but I don't fear it because Brecks actions and behaviours make me think he will try to end his life again.
So go check out the page, it could literally save your child's life…and it may just help you out too!!

A father and his 14-year-old daughter were killed in an explosion at a farmhouse in the town of Coolidge, Arizona early Sunday morning. The devastating incident was caused by a pipeline rupture.
According to the Pinal County Sheriff's Office (PCSO), it began receiving calls from residents in the area at about 5:40 am on Sunday, August 15, reporting a possible explosion. Fire crews were sent to the scene immediately. A woman who was inside the home at the time of the explosion escaped through a window, sustaining severe burns to half of her body. She was airlifted to Maricopa Medical Center, where she began receiving treatment.
Emergency personnel found two bodies inside the home. The Pinal County Medical Examiner identified them as a father and his teenage daughter.
A spokesperson for the National Traffic Safety Board (NTSB) said the explosion was caused by the rupture of a 30-inch natural gas pipeline near the property. The fire was extinguished, and that segment of the pipeline was shut down. Three NTSB investigators will be on-site for the next week, assessing the situation in order to create a preliminary report of their findings. A full investigation may take anywhere from 12 to 24 months.
Kinder Morgan Is No Stranger to Pipeline Accidents
The pipeline where this explosion occurred is a part of the El Paso Natural Gas Pipeline, which is operated by Kinder Morgan, one of the largest energy infrastructure companies in North America. Headquartered in Houston, Texas, Kinder Morgan operates about 72,000 miles of natural gas pipelines in the United States and moves about 40% of all natural gas consumed by Americans.
As such a large company with an immense infrastructure, Kinder Morgan is no stranger to pipeline explosions and other serious accidents. One report by the U.S. Department of Transportation's Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration found that Kinder Morgan experienced at least 4 dozen "significant incidents" that resulted in fatalities, injuries, hospitalizations, fires, spills, or explosions from 2003 through 2016—in Texas alone. During that same time period, the company and its subsidiaries incurred more than 110 federal enforcement actions and had more than 400 reported incidents across 24 states.
Companies like Kinder Morgan have an obligation to maintain, inspect, and repair the pipelines they own and operate. When they fail to do so, innocent people pay the ultimate price. Our hearts go out to those affected by this tragedy, and our pipeline explosion attorneys will continue to follow this investigation as it unfolds.

So they ask you for some other personal information, generally your Postcode or telephone area code. Then, as they narrow down the list of customers, they will ask your name. Then, they will tell you your Customer Number. Some businesses use phone numbers as a unique starting point.
Database systems usually have more than one table, and these tend to be related in some manner. For example a Customer table and an Order table are related to each other via a unique Customer Number. The Customer table will always have one record for each Customer, and the Order table has one record for each Order that the Customer has made.
As each Customer in one physical person, you only need one record for the Customer in the Customer table. Each Customer can make several Orders, however, which means that you set up a table to hold information about each order (the Orders table). Each individual Order has one record in the Orders table.
Of course, you relate the Customers' Orders in the Orders table to the correct Customer in the Customer table by using a common field between both tables. In this example case, we would use the Customer Number (which is included in both tables).
When linking tables, we link the primary key field from one table (the Customer Number in the Customers table) to a field in the second (related) table that has the same structure and type of data in it (the Customer Number in the Orders table).
If the link in the second table is not the primary key field (and usually it isn't), it is known as the foreign key field.
A primary key field is an index that greatly speeds up queries, searches and sort requests.
When you add new records, you must enter a value in the primary key field(s). Microsoft Access will not allow you to enter Null values, which guarantees that you will have only valid records in your table.
When you add new records to a table that has a primary key, Microsoft Access checks for duplicate data and doesn't let you enter duplicates for the primary key field.
By default, Access displays your data in the order of the primary key.
Primary key fields should be made as short as possible as this can affect the speed of operations in the database.


I'm using the Rhizome package for Clojure to rapidly prototype the dependency graph for a crafting system. It's nice to be able to add and remove components while generating visualizations on-the-fly. Clojure's simple, composable syntax, aided by paredit, makes shuffling around key-value pairs, and even whole dictionaries, quick and easy.
The existing Rhizome documentation shows simple examples for labeling the nodes of a directed graph. In order to show the relationship between nodes on the graph, I'd like to also label the edges, or the arrows connecting the nodes.
Rhizome provides a keyword argument :edge->descriptor to most of its functions. Consulting the source code and the tests for the Rhizome package, I learned that the functions expect :edge->descriptor to be a function accepting two arguments for each edge: src, the source node, and dst, the destination node. In order to label the edges, the anonymous function I'm binding to :edge->descriptor will return a dictionary containing the key :label and the value for the edge's label.
Now, I'll use a dictionary of dictionaries to associate the source and destination nodes with a label for each edge.
I've submitted a pull request to Rhizome to add this example to the documentation.

'The Bachelorette' season 15: Fans speculate producers forced Hannah Brown to give her last rose to John Paul Jones
Though at the beginning she seemed to have it easy giving out the roses. Towards the end, she seemed to have been thinking a lot before giving out her roses. Especially during her last rose
By Rachel Windsor
Tags :The Bachelorette,The Bachelor
Season 15 of 'The Bachelorette' recently premiered on ABC and be ready to 'roll tide' this season as it already started off on a dramatic note.
Months after falling in love with Colton Underwood on 'The Bachelor' season 23, and getting her heart broken during the Hometown episode where she was eliminated, Brown is back now more than ready to find her one true love.
"Bless the man who spends forever with me because I'm so much to handle, but what I want to give somebody is really special. I'm nervous but excited. I've got to be completely myself and the desire of my heart is to find love. I don't know what I'm doing, but bring on the men," Brown said during the premiere.
Prior to the premiere, Brown had already met five of her suitors during 'The Bachelor' season 23 'After The Final Rose' episode. Eager to meet the other 25 men, Brown seemed to have handled it pretty well. Some men had their own unique way of entering the mansion, as usual, hoping to stand out among the rest.
'The Bachelorette' season 15: (ABC/John Fleenor)
After having a conversation with almost most of her suitors, it was time for her to hand out the roses. With just a limited number of roses left to give out, Brown had a tough decision to make. Though at the beginning she seemed to have it easy giving out the roses. Towards the end, she seemed to have been thinking a lot before giving out her roses. Especially during her last rose.
In the end, Brown gave her last rose of the night to John Paul Jones, a 24-year-old financial analyst. During his entrance, Jones introduced himself to Brown saying, 'Hi my name is John Paul Jones, my friends call me John Paul Jones so you can call me John Paul Jones."
After seeing that Brown gave her final rose to Jones, fans reveal that they aren't in favor of her decision and speculate that the producers might have forced her to.
John Paul Jones (ABC/Ed Herrera)
"S/o to the @BacheloretteABC producers that decided that John Paul Jones (John Paul Jones) got that last rose #johnpauljones," wrote a fan on Twitter. While another fan said, "She only picked him for the final rose because the producers want to keep him on for the name. He better bring some drama with him to the show. #theBachelorette #johnpauljones."
"Had to be a producers request, keeping #johnpauljones," said a fan. "WAIT... HANNAH... you just picked jOhn PaUl jOnEs over CHASEN, BOX GUY, BRIAN TEACHER GUY, & MATT DONALD???? #TheBachelorette," added another fan.
Another fan said, "Did Hannah seriously pick JOHN PAUL JONES over Chasen AND Matt McDonald??? #TheBachelorette."
Though fans are disappointed that Brown picked Jones to give her last rose of the night to, we can't wait to see what happens next on 'The Bachelorette.'
'The Bachelorette' season 15 airs every Monday night on ABC. Check your local listings for more information.

Banning hijab in schools: a breach of religious and cultural rights
Categories: Latest News
The Islamophobia Response Unit (IRU) has received a number of recent reports of girls in schools not being allowed to wear a hijab. One recent example of this is a state-funded Catholic secondary school in Southwark, South London, refusing an 11-year-old Muslim girl a place at the school because she wears a hijab.
Restricting the right to religious dress is a breach of Article 9 of the European Convention on Human Rights which states "everyone has the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion; this right includes freedom to change one's religion or belief and freedom, either alone or in community with others and in public or private, to manifest his religion or belief, in worship, teaching, practice and observance." This right is enshrined in UK legislation by the Human Rights Act, 1998, and further strengthened by Article 27 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR). The ICCPR gives ethnic, religious and linguistic minorities the right to enjoy their own culture. For children, wearing the hijab may be as much as a cultural practice as a religious practice, and therefore, is protected by the individual's right to cultural identity. Allowing schoolchildren to express their religio-cultural identity enables them to develop and thrive with a secure sense of their value and place in society.
The current concern surrounding young Muslim girls' dress has been particularly heightened since November 2017, when Ofsted Chief Inspector, Amanda Spielman said that "inspectors will talk to girls who wear such garments [the hijab] to ascertain why they do so in the school." Her reasoning was that "creating an environment where primary school children are expected to wear the hijab could be interpreted as the sexualisation of young girls". By making these comments, Amanda Spielman furthers an ethno-centric and orientalist view of Muslim women's dress. Campaigners, such as Zubeda Limbada from Connect Futures, have pointed out that Spielman offered no evidence of sexualisation, nor how it is more sexualising than a kippah or joorah. Such orientalist tropes essentialises women by not taking account of their lived experiences and does nothing to combat issues that they are actually facing. The protection of religious and cultural rights and recognition of their importance is of benefit to all women as it allows issues to be addressed honestly and meaningfully.
Amanda Spielman's comments also open Muslim girls to further victimisation. The National Education Union (NEU) condemned Spielman's comments, with Kevin Courtney, the Joint Secretary General of the NEU, saying that Ms Spielman's comments would be "very damaging to community relations" and that it opens Muslim girls to further stigma. Bullying motivated by racism remains a widespread problem in schools. In a review of counselling offered to young people during the period 2012/13, ChildLine found a 69% increase on the previous year in counselling related to racist bullying, with terms such as "bomber" and "terrorist" being frequently used, along with children being told to "go back to where you came from". In more recent times, Islamophobic bullying in schools has been correlated with incidents of domestic and international terrorism, with pupils reporting a high number of cases of verbal and physical abuse demeaning young Muslims and those perceived to be Muslim.
Clearly, Muslim children are already vulnerable to victimisation and Amanda Spielman's comments serve on to problematise Muslim identities further. Schools must set an example for their students and take a strong stance on respecting religious and cultural rights if there is any hope of tackling racially and religiously motivated bullying in the classroom. Muslims communities are increasingly at the centre of discriminatory policies and there are concerns surrounding how such policies stemming from Ofsted will impact young Muslims in schools. The Runnymede Trust warned that Ms Spielman's comments raise concerns that a precedent is set to legitimise and promote further discriminatory policies against Muslim children. Alongside PREVENT, such politics further enforce notions of Muslim religious identities as problematic. Legitimising the problematisation of religious and cultural rights from such as young age marginalises and excludes Muslims from fully participating in social, civic, and political life and undermines their sense of value in society.
Stigmatising young Muslim girls for wearing the hijab can only serve to fuel the perception that Muslim women are negatively judged and stereotyped on the basis of the clothes they wear, as opposed to the skills, qualities, and talents they have to offer. MEND calls upon policymakers to commit to preserving human rights and the protection of minority rights, including, but not limited to, the rights to religious slaughter, male circumcision, and the wearing of religious dress or symbols as currently enshrined within UK legislation.

The Unrepresented Political Ping-Pong Ball: Political Disenfranchisement of Minority Communities


Tasmania's sparkling wine industry has come of age, with an extraordinary run of prestigious national and international awards in the last two years.
One of Australia's top champagne and sparkling wine critics, Tyson Steltzer, said "Tasmania's sparkling wines are now a global benchmark".
"In 2016 the House of Arras took out the Best Wine in Show at three capital city wine shows, trumping every still wine in the country," he said.
"And late last year, the House of Arras was named the Best Australian Producer at the International Wine and Spirit Competition in the United Kingdom.
The House of Arras's winemaker, Ed Carr, said such accolades were unimaginable five years ago.
"It's not just the House of Arras; it's all the other brands that are coming along, as everybody can see the potential of Tasmanian sparkling," Mr Carr said.
The awards and positive wine reviews have had a big impact.
Tasmanian producers can't keep up, vineyards are expanding, new ones are being established and in 2017, grape prices skyrocketed to a record of $2,871 per tonne.
To ensure new investors plant in the right areas, the Tasmanian Government has produced a map identifying potential vineyard sites.
It shows a substantial amount of land available for development.
Winemaker Natalie Fryar said she believes the best sites are those yet to be planted.
"I'm actually getting excited right now, just thinking about the possibility of what could come in the future," Ms Fryar said.
Winemaker Andrew Pirie said the map is a great resource for those considering investing in Tasmania.
"This process will enable people to rapidly assess sites and we won't have failures which we don't want in the industry — we don't want people investing in the wrong sites," he said.
Mr Pirie was one of the pioneers of the state's sparkling wine industry.
In 2017, popular wine blog The Wine Wankers held a blind tasting in Stockholm: New world versus old world, Champagne.
Mr Pirie's sparkling wine, Pirie, beat out four French champagnes.
He said it's just a matter of time before a French champagne house buys into the Tasmanian industry.
"It's logical; they've started to invest in England, which is not as advanced as we are," he said.
Josef Chromy Wines' head winemaker Jeremy Dineen said the industry is not worried about a glut.
"We have a really, really strong focus on market-led growth rather than production-led growth, and at the moment, if you doubled grape production, you would still find a home for all the grapes," Mr Dineen said.
Tyson Stelzer tastes thousands of champagnes and sparkling wines every year.
"I can tell you there are Tasmanian sparklings that run rings around many champagnes," Mr Stelzer said.
Head winemaker at Jansz, Louisa Rose, warned the industry must not get greedy or it would risk ruining its current premium sweet spot.
"We don't want to try and stretch these wines because we know we can sell more; we don't want them to be lesser quality," she said.

Olive – Olea europaea
Nnatural History
Other Names: European Olive, African Olive, olivo (Spanish), elaía (Greek), zayit (Hebrew), and many others.
Distinctive Characteristics: The iconic Olive tree is the culturally invaluable botanical elder of the Mediterranean landscape. The trunk and limbs are characteristically gnarled, fissured, and twisted, with extremely hard wood. The distinctive evergreen, lance-shaped leaves are greygreen on the upper side and silvery-white on the underside. The well-known small fruit is a fleshy drupe encasing a hard stone. Purple-black when ripe, the olive fruit varies from 0.19–1.5 in. (0.5–4 cm) in length. The hardy tree responds well to pollarding and pruning. The tree puts out shoots that can form a new tree even after the trunk has died, burned, or been cut down. Drought tolerant, the Olive may send down roots up to 20 ft. (6 m) in search of water. Slow-growing, the tree becomes more gnarled as it ages. Ancient trees can hollow out completely and survive, producing olives even after a thousand years. Wild Olives are known as the species Olea oleaster. To cultivate trees for producing edible olives, saplings must be grafted onto the stumps of old trees. There are perhaps 700 cultivars, or varieties, of Olea europaea, with their fruit varying widely in color, size, shape, and quality.
Distribution: Native to the Mediterranean, Asia, and northern Africa. Elevation: sea level to 2,900 ft. (900 m).
Ecosystem: Farmed in groves in dry Mediterranean ecosystems.
Maximum Age: Estimated at 3,000 years.
Maximum Height and Girth: 49 ft. (15 m) in height; 34 ft. (10.5 m) in circumference.
Animal Community: Rabbits, voles, and mice eat the bark. Many species of birds eat the fruit and disperse the seeds, extending the trees' range to the point of being invasive in some areas.
Traditional Uses: One of the world's oldest cultivated plants—and the Mediterranean's most important crop trees—the Olive has been cultivated for olive oil, the olive fruit, the leaves, and fine wood for an estimated 9,000 years.
Medicine: The oil has been used medicinally to treat skin ailments and ulcers, as a laxative, and as a cosmetic treatment, applied to the skin and hair for grooming and general health. The leaves were used as an antiseptic, antiviral, astringent, sedative, and fever reducer, and to treat malaria.
Food: The fruit and oil were eaten.
Tools and Objects: The oil was used for burning in lamps. The wood was used to make tools and furniture.
Art and Ceremony: The Olive tree, branch, leaf, fruit, and oil have long been considered sacred in many civilizations and religions. The tree has been a symbol of peace, wisdom, glory, fertility, abundance, power, and purity. The leafy branches were offered ritually to deities and powerful figures as symbols of blessing and purification. The oil was used to anoint kings, priests, athletes, the dying, and sacrificial offerings. In Egypt, the Olive was associated with the goddess Isis, and leafy branches were found carved into the pyramids and wrapped around the head of King Tutankhamun. Images of the trees appear in Minoan frescoes. In ancient Greece, the Olive tree was associated with the goddess Athena and the founding of Athens. The oil was burned in the sacred lamps of temples and was the "eternal flame" in the original Olympic games. Victorious athletes were crowned with its leaves and given bottles of sacred oil as prizes. The wood was used for carving statues of deities. In ancient Rome, the Olive was associated with the goddess Minerva. The Olive tree, olive oil, and olives played an important role in the Bible and the Quran.
Modern Uses: Olives are one of the most extensively cultivated fruit crops in the world, with Spain producing the most, followed by Italy and then Greece. Ninety percent of all harvested olives are turned into oil, which is mostly used for cooking; about 10% are used as table olives. The raw oil is considered a health food, and is also used as an ingredient in natural soaps. The wood, prized for its hardness, durability, color, and interesting grain patterns, is carved into kitchen utensils, wooden bowls, cutting boards, fine furniture, and decorative items. Dye can be made from the olive skins and leaves.

chestnut (n.)
type of tall tree native to western Asia, southern Europe, and eastern U.S., also the large "nut" that it produces, 1560s, from chesten nut (1510s), with superfluous nut (n.) + Middle English chasteine, from Old French chastain (12c., Modern French châtaigne), from Latin castanea "chestnut, chestnut tree," from Greek kastaneia, which the Greeks explained as either "nut from Castanea" in Pontus, or "nut from Castana" in Thessaly, but probably both places are named for the trees, not the other way around, and the word is borrowed from a language of Asia Minor (compare Armenian kask "chestnut," kaskeni "chestnut tree"). In reference to the dark reddish-brown color, 1650s. Applied to the horse-chestnut by 1832.
Slang sense of "venerable joke or story" is from 1885, explained by U.S. actor Joseph Jefferson ("Lippincott's Monthly Magazine," January 1888) as probably abstracted from the 1816 melodrama "The Broken Sword" by William Dimond where an oft-repeated story involving a chestnut tree figures in an exchange between the characters "Captain Zavior" and "Pablo":
Zav. Let me see—aye! it is exactly six years since, that peace being restored to Spain, and my ship paid off, my kind brother offer'd me a snug hammock in the dwelling of my forefathers;—I mounted a mule at Barcelona, and trotted away for my native mountains. At the dawn of the fourth day's journey, I entered the wood of Collares, when, suddenly from the thick boughs of a cork-tree—
Pab. [Jumping up.] A chesnut, Captain, a chesnut!
Zav. Bah! you booby, I say, a cork.
Pab. And I swear, a chesnut—Captain! this is the twenty-seventh time I have heard you relate this story, and you invariably said, a chesnut, till now.
Zav. Did I? Well, a chesnut be it then. But, take your seat again.
Jefferson traced the connection through William Warren (1812-1888), "the veteran comedian of Boston" (and Jefferson's cousin) who often played Pablo in the melodrama.
conspiracy (n.)
mid-14c., "a plotting of evil, unlawful design; a combination of persons for an evil purpose," from Anglo-French conspiracie, Old French conspiracie "conspiracy, plot," from Latin conspirationem (nominative conspiratio) "agreement, union, unanimity," noun of action from past-participle stem of conspirare "to agree, unite, plot," literally "to breathe together" (see conspire).
Earlier in same sense was conspiration (early 14c.), from French conspiration (13c.), from Latin conspirationem. An Old English word for it was facengecwis.
Conspiracy theory "explanation of an event or situation involving unwarranted belief that it is caused by a conspiracy among powerful forces" emerged in mid-20c. (by 1937) and figures in the writings of, or about, Charles Beard, Hofstadter, Veblen, etc., but the degree of paranoia and unreasonableness implied in each use is not always easy to discern. The phrase was used from 19c. in a non-pejorative sense "the theory that a (certain) conspiracy exists," especially in court cases. Its use in general reference to theories of hidden cabals pulling wires behind the scenes of national or global events is by 1871.
We shall better understand the ensuing civil war if we study the movements in the four most important of these States, in relation to a theory which asserts that the secession was a conspiracy whose central cabal, composed of Southern senators and representatives in Washington, dictated through its ramifications in the States the inception and the course of the revolution. [James Ford Rhodes, page headed "The Conspiracy Theory" in "History of the United States from the Compromise of 1850," New York, 1893]
To the Jingo Imperialist "the South African Conspiracy" is the alleged Dutch conspiracy to drive the British into the sea. But, to the man accustomed to weigh evidence and to base his opinions on ascertained facts, it is clear that this conspiracy theory is absolutely untenable, for whatever "evidence" has been adduced in support of the theory is nebulous and shadowy in the extreme. ["The South African Conspiracy," in The Westminster Review, January 1902]
sabotage (n.)
1907 (from 1903 as a French word in English), "malicious damaging or destruction of an employer's property by workmen," from French sabotage, from saboter "to sabotage, bungle," literally "walk noisily," from sabot "wooden shoe" (see sabaton).
In English, "malicious mischief" would appear to be the nearest explicit definition of "sabotage," which is so much more expressive as to be likely of adoption into all languages spoken by nations suffering from this new force in industry and morals. Sabotage has a flavor which is unmistakable even to persons knowing little slang and no French .... [Century Magazine, November 1910]
In French, and at first in English, the sense of "deliberately and maliciously destroying property" was in reference to labor disputes, but the oft-repeated story (as old as the record of the word in English) that the modern meaning derives from strikers' supposed tactic of throwing shoes into machinery is not supported by the etymology. Likely it was not meant as a literal image; the word was used in French in a variety of "bungling" senses, such as "to play a piece of music badly."
This, too, was the explanation given in some early usages:
SABOTAGE [chapter heading] The title we have prefixed seems to mean "scamping work." It is a device which, we are told, has been adopted by certain French workpeople as a substitute for striking. The workman, in other words, purposes to remain on and to do his work badly, so as to annoy his employer's customers and cause loss to his employer. [The Liberty Review, January 1907]
You may believe that sabotage is murder, and so forth, but it is not so at all. Sabotage means giving back to the bosses what they give to us. Sabotage consists in going slow with the process of production when the bosses go slow with the same process in regard to wages. [Arturo M. Giovannitti, quoted in report of the Sagamore Sociological Conference, June 1907]
The military extension to damage inflicted (especially clandestinely) to disrupt an enemy is from World War I.
king (n.)
a late Old English contraction of cyning "king, ruler" (also used as a title), from Proto-Germanic *kuningaz (source also of Dutch koning, Old Norse konungr, Danish konge, Old Saxon and Old High German kuning, Middle High German künic, German König).
This is of uncertain origin. It is possibly related to Old English cynn "family, race" (see kin), making a king originally a "leader of the people." Or perhaps it is from a related prehistoric Germanic word meaning "noble birth," making a king etymologically "one who descended from noble birth" (or "the descendant of a divine race"). The sociological and ideological implications render this a topic of much debate. "The exact notional relation of king with kin is undetermined, but the etymological relation is hardly to be doubted" [Century Dictionary].
General Germanic, but not attested in Gothic, where þiudans (cognate with Old English þeoden "chief of a tribe, ruler, prince, king") was used. Finnish kuningas "king," Old Church Slavonic kunegu "prince" (Russian knyaz, Bohemian knez), Lithuanian kunigas "clergyman" are forms of this word taken from Germanic. Meaning "one who has superiority in a certain field or class" is from late 14c.
As leon is the king of bestes. [John Gower, "Confessio Amantis," 1390]
In Old English, used for chiefs of Anglian and Saxon tribes or clans, of the heads of states they founded, and of the British and Danish chiefs they fought. The word acquired a more imposing quality with the rise of European nation-states, but then it was applied to tribal chiefs in Africa, Asia, North America. The chess piece is so called from c. 1400; the playing card from 1560s; the use in checkers/draughts is first recorded 1820. Three Kings for the Biblical Wise Men is from c. 1200.
[I]t was [Eugene] Field who haunted the declining years of Creston Clarke with his review of that actor's Lear. ... Said he, "Mr. Clarke played the King all the evening as though under constant fear that someone else was about to play the Ace." ["Theatre Magazine," January 1922]
filibuster (n.)
1580s, flibutor "pirate," especially, in history, "West Indian buccaneer of the 17th century" (mainly French, Dutch, and English adventurers), probably ultimately from Dutch vrijbueter (now vrijbuiter) "freebooter," a word which was used of pirates in the West Indies in Spanish (filibustero) and French (flibustier, earlier fribustier) forms. See freebooter.
According to Century Dictionary, the spread of the word is owing to a Dutch work ("De Americaensche Zee-Roovers," 1678) "written by a bucaneer named John Oexmelin, otherwise Exquemelin or Esquemeling, and translated into French and Spanish, and subsequently into English (1684)." Spanish inserted the -i- in the first syllable; French is responsible for the -s-, inserted but not originally pronounced, "a common fact in 17th century F[rench], after the analogy of words in which an original s was retained in spelling, though it had become silent in pronunciation" [Century Dictionary].
In American English, from 1851 in reference to lawless military adventurers from the U.S. who tried to overthrow Central American governments. The major expeditions were those of Narciso Lopez of New Orleans against Cuba (1850-51) and by William Walker of California against the Mexican state of Sonora (1853-54) and against Nicaragua (1855-58).
FILIBUSTERING is a term lately imported from the Spanish, yet destined, it would seem, to occupy an important place in our vocabulary. In its etymological import it is nearly synonymous with piracy. It is commonly employed, however, to denote an idea peculiar to the modern progress, and which may be defined as the right and practice of private war, or the claim of individuals to engage in foreign hostilities aside from, and even in opposition to the government with which they are in political membership. [Harper's New Monthly Magazine, January 1853]
The noun in the legislative sense is not in Bartlett (1859) and seems not to have been in use in U.S. legislative writing before 1865 (filibustering in this sense is from 1861). Probably the extension in sense is because obstructionist legislators "pirated" debate or overthrew the usual order of authority. Originally of the senator who led it; the maneuver itself so called by 1893. Not technically restricted to U.S. Senate, but that's where the strategy works best. [The 1853 use of filibustering by U.S. Rep. Albert G. Brown of Mississippi reported in the Congressional Globe and cited in the OED does not refer to legislative obstruction, but to national policy toward Cuba.]
penny (n.)
English coin, Middle English peni, from Old English pening, penig, Northumbrian penning "penny," from Proto-Germanic *panninga- (source also of Old Norse penningr, Swedish pänning, Danish penge, Old Frisian panning, Old Saxon pending, Middle Dutch pennic, Dutch penning, Old High German pfenning, German Pfennig, not recorded in Gothic where skatts is used instead), a word of unknown origin.
Offa's reformed coinage on light, broad flans is likely to have begun c.760-5 in London, with an awareness of developments in Francia and East Anglia. ... The broad flan penny established by Offa remained the principal denomination, with only minor changes, until the fourteenth century. [Anna Gannon, "The Iconography of Early Anglo-Saxon Coinage," Oxford, 2003]
The English coin was originally set at one-twelfth of a shilling (or 240 to a Tower pound) and was of silver, later copper, then bronze. There are two plural forms: pennies of individual coins, pence collectively. In Middle English, any coin could be called a penny, and in translations it rendered various foreign coins of small denomination, especially Latin denarius, whence comes its abbreviation d.
As an American English colloquial for cent, it is recorded by 1889. In reference to nails, "a pound," denoting that 1,000 nails will weigh so much, OED says it probably is based originally on the price per 100 and persisted as prices fell.
Penny-a-liner "writer for a journal or newspaper" is attested by 1830, from their supposed rate of pay. Penny dreadful in reference to "cheap and gory fiction" dates from 1870. Phrase penny-wise and pound-foolish is recorded from c. 1600.
Penny-pincher "miserly person" is recorded from 1906 (Middle English had pinchpenny (n.) in that sense; as an adjective penny-pinching is recorded from 1858, American English). Penny loafers attested from 1960, perhaps from the fashion of slipping a penny into the slits of the bands across the facing.
"A regular penny-a-liner is a person who supplies the newspapers of the city with short articles of news, ingenious remarks upon the current topics of the day, reports of meetings, or of cases in the police offices, accidents, &c. &c., but who, observe, has no express engagement from, or any direct connexion with, any newspaper whatever. His success is wholly precarious—always uncertain. If the contributions which those persons forward for publication, in this way, are published, they are certain of payment for them at the rate of one penny, three half-pence, and in rare cases, two pence a-line, according to the importance of the subject matter supplied. ["The London Penny-a-Line System," Irish Monthly Magazine, January 1833]
