Sometimes we fall out of love and there is nothing that we can do about it. While in a few cases reigniting the spark is possible, it does not always happen.
When you're in a relationship, falling out of love is always going to hurt someone in the end whether you're the one who gets hurt or your partner is the one who gets hurt. Ending things on good terms is not always possible and sometimes just jumping ship is easier than facing things and telling your partner how you feel. When it comes to figuring out if you're falling out of love with someone or if you just need to spice things up there are a lot of different things you can look at.
Below I am going to go over some of the most common signs that you are falling out of love. These things are quite prominent in relationships that are falling apart. While you might not see the signs right away as you begin to lose interest more and more you will notice them.
1. You don't feel valued in your relationship.
You don't feel like your partner values you. It's like you're not important anymore and you just feel useless. Nothing makes sense like it used to.
2. You don't want to be around your partner much.
You don't like to spend time with your partner. You prefer to spend as much time apart as possible. You just want your own peace of mind and with him or her around it's hard to get.
3. You are unable to really focus on your partner.
You are not able to focus on your partner like us could in the past. Things aren't how they used to be and it is quite clear. Your mind is elsewhere and no matter what you try you can't shake that feeling.
4. Your goals are changing and you're idea of the future is different now.
Your goals are not what they once were. You've changed your mind about a lot of things and now have a different outlook on what is to come. This could potentially not include your current partner.
5. There is a lack of trust in the relationship.
You do not trust your partner and he or she doesn't trust you. Trust is crucial when it comes to dating. If your partner is not someone you're able to be open and honest with there is no sense in being together.
6. Intimacy is seriously lacking in your relationship.
You are not able to be intimate with one another. You're both struggling in that area and you just can't seem to get things right. This is an issue that can run much deeper than you think.
7. You just don't feel right in the relationship.
You aren't feeling right in your relationship anymore and you don't want to be in it. If you don't want to be in your relationship anymore you don't have to be. There is nothing wrong with being single.
8. You feel like your partner does not respect you.
You don't feel like your partner respects you enough or at all. If your partner doesn't respect you then why stick around? A lack of respect is not something you can just get over, it has to be worked through or you have to move on.

M.P.R.R.: The Secret Of Filiferas
Forget so-called ultra hardies that don't grow, and invest in a bale of straw.
Philippe Byrne, Little Brookfield, Pinn Lane, Pinhoe, Exeter, Devon, EX1 3RF, U.K.
Chamaerops No. 12, published online 23-09-2002
Above: Washingtonia filiferas snug in their winter overcoats of straw. Exposed lea yes may be damaged by frost and cold but will be rapidly replaced during the follo wing spring & summer.
Below: Photographedin late summer, these Washingtonias look perfectly at home in Exeter, Devon.
In 1981 I purchased a couple of hundred seeds of Washington filifera - the Californian or Petticoat palm, from a seedsman in the North Island of New Zealand. They sprouted well and over the ensuing years I sold, gave away and even culled the seedlings until I had only 3 plants left. They were the most vigorous of all, and I treated them well. Every spring I re-potted them into larger pots using a proprietory compost, and then fed them generously during the growing season. In the winter, the greenhouse was kept frost free, but only just!
By the summer of 1990, the 3 filiferas were in medium sized tubs, and competing for greenhouse space with large specimens of Brahea edulis, B. brandegeei B. edulis x brandegeei B armata and 2 Trithrinax acanthocoma. I must admit that at the time I rather looked down on the filiferas when compared with the choice Braheas and Trithrinaces. So I decided to take a risk and plant them outside the Palm house in the lawn, on the basis that they were easily replaced, and therefore expendable. The only soil amendment was to enrich the rather heavy clay soil with some well-rotted cow manure.
When autumn came I decided not to worry about tidiness, but to insulate the trunks with thick wads of straw secured with string, and to pack the crown and emerging leaf with handfuls of straw. One bale (costing £1 delivered) was sufficient for the 3 plants, and the whole operation took a mere 20 minutes.
By late spring, all the leaves that stuck out from the 'mini-haystacks' had gone brown and withered from repeated frost, but when the straw was removed in May, the spear was already growing vigorously, and one beautiful leaf after another began to open in rapid succession, encouraged by liberal feeding and watering. By August the plants had a good head of bright green, healthy leaves, and noticeable thickening of the trunk, but with 2 added benefits: the petioles were much shorter and thicker and the leaves much more filamented or hairier! Uncannily, nest-building birds cottoned on to this as soon as the new leaves started growing, and helped themselves freely!
After coming through a second and third winter protected by straw, I began to appreciate the filiferas more and more. They survived the winter frost so reliably in their thick straw overcoats, and grew new leaves at such an astonishing rate that they must be considered as garden worthy as Trachycarpus fortunei and Chamaerops humilis.
This then is the secret of my filiferas: Minimal Protection - Rapid re-growth. Maybe there are other palms waiting in the wings which will also be shown to thrive in the same way - Parajubaea cocoides perhaps, and almost certainly Phoenix canariensis - but for now, Washingtonia filifera appears to have a unique advantage over other near-hardy palms: the amazingly fast growth, which quickly replaces any winter damage. Compare with Rhapidophyllum, the hardiest palm but producing, in our climate anyway, only one leaf per year.
I would like to emphasise the importance of using straw rather than bubble or plain polythene for winter protection. Although straw gets wet and soggy on the outside, further in it stays dry - and keeps the plant dry. If a layer is placed radially at the base of the trunk with a slight downward pitch, it can even shed rain water (undesirable in the winter) away from the plant and its immediate root area. Secondly, it allows the plant to breathe, and so avoids the chance of rot or fungal attack. Thirdly, it is cheap, readily obtainable, a very good insulator, natural, even attractive in a rather untidy way, and in the spring it can be added to the compost heap! Those gardeners of former times knew a thing or two.
The photographs on the opposite page show the filiferas in April and September of this year. The largest plant is now 5ft tall and growing even stronger and more impressive. The plants look so natural and healthy that they could be native Devon species! As I write, in late November, the 3 filiferas are again safe and cosy in their straw coats (they now require 2 bales). They have taken a hammering from unusually early winter frosts (2 successive nights at -5¾C) and the exposed leaves are already going brown, but I am confident that by next April they will be bursting into growth again.
Other tips to ensure success: Make sure they are planted out in a sunny, preferably south or south-west facing position, perhaps in a corner. Choose a location that's free from wind, and where the soil is free draining, but water frequently especially in hot weather. You will almost be able to watch them grow! Another good idea would be to take up a slab on a sunny patio and plant one there. Think of all that stored and reflected heat!
May Washingtonias filiferate all over southern Britain and beyond!

Coming soon to MUBI
The Weekly MUBI Digest | 30th September
James R | On 30, Sep 2017
A new month might be upon us, but MUBI, thankfully, is continuing its September plans with an ongoing retrospective of Chilean director Pablo Larrain. The filmmaker was snapped up by Hollywood to make the Oscar-nominated biopic Jackie, but has been no stranger to questions of politics, history and identity. Over the coming weeks, MUBI delves into his Chilean films, from his debut, Fuga, to the superb No and the unique Neruda.
Pablo's in good company, as MUBI also continues its Maurice Pialat retrospective – a love letter to a filmmaker who didn't want to be loved – and is still streaming its transcendental new Western, Mimosas, after its cinema release. (You can read our interview with Mimosas director Oliver Laxe here – and catch up with his debut below too.)
What's new, coming soon and leaving soon on the subscription service? This is your weekly MUBI Digest:
This week on MUBI
The Turning – 30th September
A selection of short stories by Tim Winton are interpreted by an expansive and talented team of 17 different Australian filmmakers. Populated by nuanced turns from the likes of Cate Blanchett, Hugo Weaving, and Rose Byrne, this epic of emotion successfully taps into the essence of Winton's writing.
Post Mortem – 2nd October
MUBB's Pablo Larraín retrospective continues with his 2010 drama. Mario, 55, works in a morgue typing autopsy reports. In the midst of the 1973 military coup that left Pinochet in charge of Chile, he fantasises about his neighbour Nancy, a cabaret dancer, who mysteriously disappears. Mario begins a frantic search.
My Twentieth Century – 3rd October
Ildikó Enyedi's 1989 comedy drama follows Dora and Lili, both born on the day Edison invents the light bulb, but separated in childhood. They follow different paths to meet again on the Orient Express, one a pampered courtesan, the other a feminist anarchist.
Van Gogh – 4th October
MUBI's Maurice Pialat season continues with his look at the last 60 days of Van Gogh's life. After leaving the asylum, he settles in the home of Doctor Gachet, an art lover and patron. Vincent keeps painting amidst the conflicts with his brother Theo, the torments of his failing mental health, and an affair with Marguerite, his host's daughter.
La Sirga (The Towrope) – 5th October
Alicia feels lost. The memory of war clings to her mind in a terrifying rumble. Thrown off her land by armed conflict, she tries to build a new life at 'La Sirga', a rundown boarding house on the shore of a large lagoon high up in the Andes mountain range. William Vega's drama from 2012 was nominated for the Golden Camera at Cannes.
Other new releases on MUBI
MUBI launches a retrospective of Pablo Larrain's six films made in Chile with his little-seen debut — a twisted tale of insanity and infernal classical music.
Tony Manero
Santiago de Chile, 1978. In the midst of Pinochet's dictatorship, Raúl Peralta, a man in his 50s, is obsessed with impersonating John Travolta's character in Saturday Night Fever. And his dream of being recognised is about to become a reality when the national television announces a contest.
MUBI's Maurice Pialat season continues with his 1985 drama, which stars Gerard Depardieu as a Parisian cop who specialises in interrogations, using intimidation to the point of sadism. His efforts to bust a Tunisian drug racket go awry, however, when he falls into an affair with a sultry, defiant liar (Sophie Marceau), who is the girl of one of the criminals.
Please Give
Accomplished and unpleasant, Please Give is an engaging and clever study of wealth, charity – and a lack thereof. Read our full review
Made on the heels of his international breakout Rashomon, Kurosawa's The Idiot stars a who's who of Japan's best actors, including Setsuko Hara and Toshiro Mifune.
Starring Ercan Kesal (Once Upon a Time in Anatolia), Mold is a noir-like journey into social oppressions experienced in modern Turkey. With the requisite oppressive atmosphere to match, Ali Aydın's debut film moves with dour yet beguiling rhythms towards a nuanced critique of a troubled society.
Under the Sun of Satan
Two years after Police, Maurice Pialat reunited with Gerard Depardieu for this religious-inflected drama. Despite the encouragement of Dean Menou-Segrais, Father Donissan doubts his vocation. When the young Mouchette, who has killed her lover, turns to him, he condemns her and drives her to suicide. One evening, walking down a country road, he passes a horse dealer in whom he recognises Satan.
The Future Perfect
It's not very often that a film is smart and modest at the same time. German-born, Argentina-based Nele Wohlatz has made an impossibly humble comedy, unassumingly clever and irresistibly warm, so empathetic in capturing what being a foreigner feels like, that will restore your hope in humanity.
A Nos Amours
In a revelatory film debut, the dynamic, fresh-faced Sandrine Bonnaire plays Suzanne, a fifteen-year-old Parisian who embarks on a sexual rampage in an effort to separate herself from her overbearing, beloved father. À nos amours is one of Maurice Pialat's greatest achievements, continuing MUBI's retrospective season.
Hello Destroyer
A young junior hockey player's life is shattered by an in-game act of violence. In an instant his life is abruptly turned upside down; torn from the fraternity of the team and the coinciding position of prominence, he is cast as a pariah and ostracised from the community.
The US-Mexico wall might grab all the attention, but aren't we surrounded by them? MUBI hosts the online premiere of this documentary that looks at the migration crisis in the eye by surfacing the resonance of Kafka's universe in today's Europe.
MUBI exclusively presents Mimosas simultaneously with cinemas. Laxe's latest film finds the director entering genre territory and pushing its boundaries. A spiritual western, a desert odyssey and a daring invitation to jump into the unknown. Read our interview with Oliver Laxe.
Based on the novel by James Franco, Palo Alto sees Franco play a soccer coach who hits on one of his young students. Gia Coppola's film, though, opens up the ensemble drama to create an affecting, sincere portrait of youth in California. Read our full review
The Graduation
A plunge into one of today's most prestigious schools of cinema: La Fémis in Paris.
La Leon
This visually stunning feature debut perfectly captures the misty waterways and solitary lives of a Northern Argentinean community. Armed with sumptuous black-and-white photography and an affectionate and sensual sensibility, Santiago Otheguy's film is a key work from the New Argentine Cinema.
Stockholm My Love
Fresh from its theatrical release, MUBI presents the first foray into fiction of Mark Cousins, who teams up with cinematographer Christopher Doyle and singer Neneh Cherry for a city symphony that delves into grief and trauma. Read our full review.
MUBI & ICA join forces to release Jorge Thielen Armand's vibrant and vital film, which captures the lives of real people in Venezuela's current social and political climate. The movie follows José, a young father who discovers that the dilapidated mansion he occupies is soon to be demolished. Desperate to save his family from homelessness, José begins a search for a cursed treasure that has long said to be buried in the house.
A monthly subscription to MUBI costs £5.99 a month, with a 30-day free trial.

Analogue Pocket review – brick to the future
Retro gaming is only getting better over the years, as what was once something of a niche pursuit is being strengthened by a string of quality third-party devices, allowing consumers to play and experience classic games in modern ways, and Analogue could be the one leading the charge.
After success with devices like the Analogue Super NT and the Analogue Mega Sg, which play SNES and Mega Drive games natively, respectively, the retro-focused company turned its attention to handheld gaming. In comes the Analogue Pocket, a stunning device that's clearly modelled on the original Game Boy and can natively play actual cartridges through actual hardware. Thanks to this innovative line of thinking, you can bring your old Game Boy, Game Boy Colour, and Game Boy Advance games to life like never before.
It doesn't stop there though, as you can also purchase cartridge adapters to play Game Gear, Neo Geo Pocket, and Atari Lynx cartridges on the same device. The main selling point here, as well as the convenience, is a gorgeous 3.5", 615 ppi, LCD screen that runs at ten times the resolution of the original Game Boy, giving classic games a vibrant, pixel-perfect facelift that you have to see to believe. But at $219.99 (before shipping or any extras like the dock)/ is it worth the price, or, more importantly, the wait? Let's dive into our Analogue Pocket review to find out.

Lisbeth Salander: The Movies Have Never Had a Heroine Quite Like Her
In the Swedish version of Stieg Larsson's "The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo," made in 2009, thugs attack Lisbeth Salander (Noomi Rapace) in the Stockholm subway. She gets knocked down and bloodied, but she hits back, screaming, and chases them off with a broken bottle. In the American version of the same scene, a thief grabs her computer case and runs up an escalator. Lisbeth (Rooney Mara) overtakes him, clobbers him, reclaims the computer, slides down the wide aluminum divider between the up and down escalators, slips off the bottom and runs into a train just before its doors close. Either way, this is a very tough girl.
Let's leave aside what the two directors (Niels Arden Oplev and David Fincher, respectively) have done, and also the variants in screenwriting, staging, and tempo, and think about the character and then the actresses. Rapace and Mara move in slightly different ways; they have different eyes, a different emotional tone. Yet Lisbeth Salander, however she's played, has certain irreducible qualities and an irreducible force. In both cases, she's a genius-hacker for whom no bank account or hard disk is sealed; she's the skinny shadow who can slip in and out of houses, the head-facing-into-the-wind motorcyclist surging up and down Sweden's icy highways. Whatever Lisbeth does, she acts without hesitation, swiftly and definitively.
As a figure, she's derived from seventies punk and its descendants—we've seen the hostile stare, the black-on-black, the eye-liner before—but the movies have never had a popular heroine quite like this. Lisbeth inspires sexual rage in men. She is both a victim and an avenger, a woman damaged, abused, yet defiantly sexual—a woman prepared to hit back and to stay out in the danger zone, unwilling to change, ready for more.
In our first glance at Lisbeth, as she faces the business world, she seems closed off, seething in a hopelessly alienated way. She won't look at anyone directly; her voice is toneless. She rattles off information but yields nothing of herself. Whatever else she is, she's always a pro, superb at spying, penetrating, sifting, matching, collating. At the computer, her hands and mind operate at close to digital speed. The rest of her life is something else. The Goth regalia—black leather jacket and boots, tufted hair, spiked collar, piercings, an armory of rings—gives hints of dirty pleasures, harsh sexual combat, a readiness for pain. She's already been through hell, pushed around a lot, and vulnerable (though no one could say innocent). With another push, or a period of weakness, she could slip into alcoholism or addiction; she could become a prostitute and then a corpse. Surely she's close to being crazy, pathological. Or so it seems, at first.
But actually, Lisbeth Salander is not crazy at all. The strongest part of her sanity—and the other reason, apart from her skill, that she's a heroine—is perfectly clear: She refuses to be a victim. When she's brutally raped by her swinish State Guardian, she doesn't go to the law. She has been mauled but not violated, not inside. Her integrity remains intact, which, for her, means, from the first, that she's ready for vengeance. The desire for revenge may be dangerous and self-destructive, but it's hardly crazy, and, in Lisbeth's case, it has a long personal history behind it. She knows all the ways women can be brutalized by men. She joins up with the disgraced investigative reporter Mikael Blomkvist when he tells her that he's looking into long-ago atrocities committed against women. Working with Blomkvist, she becomes not only an avenger but a kind of left-feminist action figure, striking at the nexus of male and corporate power. You might say she's an anti-fascist in vaguely fascist regalia, a walking contradiction, which is why people constantly misread her, and undervalue her.
Everything that happens to Lisbeth is a real enough danger in the world—it has happened to many women. She's a genuine possibility, not a cartoon, and therefore far more serious as a pop-culture figure than the super-killers played by Uma Thurman in the "Kill Bill" movies or by pouting, vogueing Angelina Jolie in her kick-groin roles. Those characters have nearly supernatural physical powers. While Lisbeth is smart, fast, and relentless, her powers are just a slight stretching of the possible. And, dealing with the world as it is, she accepts the bargain demanded by her history and temperament—that she will risk punishment as the price of insolence and always claim the freedom to retaliate. Despite every imaginable difference, she is a legitimate successor to such male icons as Clint Eastwood's Dirty Harry. The exercise of righteous violence is what turns action figures into pop-culture icons. That, plus an aura of outlaw style and perversity. You can admire Dirty Harry or Lisbeth Salander without feeling like a prig. They're both a little odd.
As a woman in a movie, Lisbeth fascinates us in part because we want to see how much she will respond to normal human demands. If Blomkvist admires her, needs her, will she show some personal interest in return, some warmth? In the Swedish version, Noomi Rapace is almost a completely stylized figure, angular and abrupt, with a long, slightly-pointed jaw and a glare that hardly ever softens. She wears eye-liner a lot; her eyes surge out of her face like pincers. At times, she lowers her head and cocks her neck. There's something machine-like about her intensity, which is modified only by a puckered mouth, a lower lip that recedes slightly when she's momentarily baffled by something at the computer.
Speaking in her own tongue gives Rapace a natural advantage. Rooney Mara speaks English with a put-on Swedish accent. She doesn't fumble her lines, but you can feel her willing herself through the part, struggling to stay clipped and flat-toned. In a few minor ways, the conception of Lisbeth has been softened for American audiences. Mara's eyes, mostly unlined and isolated in her face, which has been chalked into a pale mask, express need as well as anger. Despite the spectacular athleticism of the subway scene—a single, continuous line of action—her physical presence is more approachable, more womanly (in the conventional sense) than Rapace's. She's more of a figure to feel for, even identify with, but not quite as much fun to watch. When her Lisbeth has sex with Blomkvist, the connection moves a little closer to a regular love affair. It's true that Mara straddles Daniel Craig and drives toward her orgasm like a teenage boy, but, afterward, she looks at him with something like tenderness. There's a hint of something more, something that may be developed as the series goes on (if it goes on), something like an open admission of need, something like a bond.

Did You Know the Health Benefits of Cinnamon?
Cinnamon has so many great uses from enhancing flavor of our recipes to improving our health.
I have always loved the taste of cinnamon even before learning about the wonders associated with this simple spice, which has antioxidant and antibacterial properties. In addition, I discovered how as little as 1/2 teaspoon daily can really help lower cholesterol or may improve your blood glucose levels, especially for those people with type 2 diabetes. Now I'm even more nuts about spreading the word about this powerhouse of a spice.
At our place we like to eat a bowl of cooked oatmeal most mornings. Old-fashioned is the favorite in our house. We sprinkle some cinnamon and a teaspoon of sugar over our oatmeal instead of adding milk. Some days we like to add some raisins to the mixture for some extra iron.
Another way to enjoy a cooked bowl of oatmeal is adding some applesauce instead of sugar and milk. Furthermore, you can make this oatmeal sweeter by throwing in some raisins.
Other days we like to add a tablespoon of cocoa powder to the water until it is heated, then add your oatmeal and cook as usual. Add a teaspoon to a tablespoon of peanut butter to your chocolate oats, two teaspoons of sugar and you get a cooked cereal your kids will gobble up. My Chocolate-Peanut Butter Oatmeal tastes like candy–not something that is good for them to eat!
Even when we skip our cinnamon oats routine, I use cinnamon more freely and include it in my dishes whenever possible.

From 2000 B.C.E. to 581 C.E., i.e. 4000 to over 1400 years ago, came and went six different dynastic periods in Chinese history: the Xia, the Shang, the Zhou, the Qin, the Han, and the Six Dynasties. During this long history spanning about 2500 years, except for the short-lived Qin and basically the disunited Six Dynasties, the royal houses of the other four major dynasties emerged in turn from the western and eastern parts of China Proper. They ascended to rule one after another, their power waxed and waned, and over the time their cultures assimilated with each other. By the Han dynasty, ethically and culturally they had come to integrate into an almost indivisible one, ushering in a new era of unification. It was also during this formative process that the superstitious belief in the "spiritual nature" of beautiful jade held by early people was gradually moralized under the influence of humanism and Confucianism as society advanced.
"Virtue" originally referred to "innate nature", a neutral and amoral concept. Back in the time remote, people believed that the Supreme God (called tian, Heaven, in the Zhou dynasty) sent divine creatures to endow life upon the ancestors of clans. The benefits of wearing jade carvings were therefore many-folded: it joined the vital force of beautiful jade with the magical power of divine creatures, accordingly enabled dialogues between deities and humans, and last but not least manifested the innate divinity of the wearer, i.e. "virtue". By the Eastern Zhou dynasty, however, the original aspects of jade ornaments had been long forgotten; Confucians took a more rational view at the qualities of beautiful jade and associated them with the fine "virtues" of a junzi figure: benevolence, rectitude, wisdom, courage, and integrity. Junzi, initially meaning "rulers", also transformed in the Eastern Zhou dynasty into "gentleman-intellectuals of high virtues".
Over the long span of time, the pairing of Gui-and-Bi jades by the Zhou people became the core of Chinese jade ritual. The Han royal house came from Pei County in the Jiangnan region where the ancient Yue custom of "Jade Burial" originated; the practice reached its acme during the dynasty. Foreign elements such as bixie (warding off evils) amulets and horn cups, reaching China, also adopted jade carving as the medium to exhibit their beauty and took up additional mystic aura that was distinctively Chinese.

Story Contest 2017 #1 - Outstanding Stories » A Handshake with an Alien
"A Handshake with an Alien" is one of the outstanding stories of the first biannual International Short Story Contest 2017 written by Sanjivani Show, India.
A Handshake with an Alien
Up in the morning, Juju was off the bed in search of his mother. "Mom, where are you? And where is my breakfast?" shouted Juju in despair. Actually on that day, he had had an important exhibition on planet FH21M. "Here I am Juju. Have some patience. I am making breakfast" replied mom.
Science had already developed a lot. Life had become so easy. Everyday seemed to be Sunday. When earth was on the verge of extinction, all the living organisms including the human beings and animals had abandoned the planet. Going for an Inter- Planetary journey was as easy as going to a park on Sundays. All of the researchers across the multiverse had said that there was not the slightest sign that the aliens persisted in this multiverse because of which they could built their civilization again.
But somewhere Juju did not agree with these things in no way. At the back of his mind, he believed that aliens were there but he could not get across the table.
Meanwhile, everything was ready. The space shuttle was also ready for the journey as well. Mom had already provided Juju with the breakfast bars that mom had prepared all by herself and it was Juju's favourite snack as well. Without any further ado, the shuttle was up in the air and in no time out of sight.
Juju was from a very affluent family. His father was a famous scientist of that time. And Juju himself was the brightest student at his school.
After having covered a short span of time and having seen the amusements of the multiverse, they were all ready for a successful landing. They all already had had their oxygen pills. Because at this time there was no such need of carrying huge oxygen cylinders but instead had become a matter of a few pills.
There was a huge assembly of people at the Multi-Planetary hall of Exhibition of the FH21M planet were Juju was supposed to be. There were people from different galaxies and planets. All the great inventors, discoverers, businesspersons, and many more people were there from around the multiverse. Juju with his friends was there giving his presentation. Alike previous year this time also Juju was accepted to receive the first prize.
He thought it prudent to bring his floating skateboard and the metal compass as well. When his friends heard about it they started giggling amongst themselves. But Juju was quite serious about it. After having completed his winning presentation, unlike every year he was not there with any such intention to go towards the ship. Rather he headed towards another direction not knowing that an epic adventure awaited him.
The planet had been recently discovered, he was there with his skateboard, so, it didn't cost him a lot of energy. After having covered a long distance of time, he was neither able to see anything nor able to spot anything unusual. Then he felt that someone was following him. As he was not much worried about it, he let it go.
When he was walking, he stumbled and fell into an abyss pit of darkness. On opening his eyes he found himself in a dark, dirty, and sticky place. He couldn't exactly understand where he was. Many dangerous thoughts were hovering over his head; his skateboard had broken into pieces.
He kept on walking until came across a dirty ball like thing inside the cave. It was the only thing that he had seen in the cave till now. He tried to move it in every possible way but in vain. At last in frustration he kicked it. To his astonishment he had discovered the thing he was looking for.
On seeing Juju at first they were a bit frightened but later they all had become good friends. And for the first time in his life he had had a handshake with the aliens!
Meanwhile his parents along with the police were there. They were able to track him down by the trails of his skateboard.
The alien world was also very glad. They were given special position in the society and Juju had become the most famous discoverer in the whole multiverse.

Q: ToString() and debugger's string visualizer In a watch window, any string fields have a string visualizer icon (it allows to view the whole string, not only it's first chars). Any fields which have ToString() method are shown in string form, but without string visualizer, so watch window doesn't have button to view the whole text of this field. And this sucks.
Is there any way to make VS to show string visualizer button for ToString'ed fields?

A: not sure if I get what you mean, consider that ToString is defined on the root object class so all its descendant have it. if in the watch window you enter a field/variable name you could see the content, if you are not satisfied you could add the .ToString() after the variable name.

Inside the Nest: Check out Cabot Cape Breton's rollicking new par-3 course
By: Josh Sens July 10, 2020
Size does matter.
In golf, especially, short is in.
By which we mean short courses, modest in scale but ample in artistry and entertainment value.
Bandon Dunes has one. So do Pinehurst, Streamsong and Sand Valley. Big Cedar Lodge has a pair of shorties. And this just in: Cabot Cape Breton now has a short course, too.
Already home to two Golf Magazine World Top 100 Courses, Cabot Links and Cabot Cliffs, the acclaimed resort in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, is set to welcome preview play this month on the Nest, a 10-hole, par-3 layout. Designed by Rod Whitman, Dave Axland and Keith Cutten, who worked together on Cabot Links, the Nest spills across rollicking terrain, on bluffs overlooking Cabot Cliffs and the ocean.
At just over 1,300 yards, with holes that range in length from 95 to 232 yards, the Nest is punctuated by creative dips and ridges and compelling angles that offer all the challenge of a traditional round, on a course that can be played with just a handful of clubs in a fraction of the usual time.
A trip to stunning Cabot Links is the perfect reminder of the ties that bind us
By: Christian Hafer
"The idea is to create fun and variety on a course that's enjoyable for everyone," said Ben Cowan-Dewar, CEO and co-founder of Cabot. "We think it's a great complement to what we have."
Short courses aren't new to golf; they've long been stitched into the fabric of such vaunted private properties as Augusta National and Pine Valley. But in recent years, top resorts have increasingly embraced them for their Goldilocks appeal: Bite-sized enough for juniors and beginners of all ages, but with plenty of intrigue for seasoned players, short courses also offer a just-right option when 18 holes don't quite sate your craving, but a 36-hole day is a bit too much.
At the Nest, groups of up to eight will be permitted, pending updates from the Canadian Public Health authorities.
"Accessibility and versatility, that's what it's all about," Cowan-Dewar said. "This is the kind of course where I can settle friendly wagers with my buddies, but it's also a joy to play with my kids."
Preview play on the Nest begins on July 24, with a grand opening planned for 2021.

Побу́зьке  (у розмовній мові Побу́жжя) — селище міського типу в Голованівському районі Кіровоградської області України, центр Побузької громади. Населення — 6042 осіб (2011).

Розташування

Селище розташоване неподалік Південного Бугу. Найближче (30 км) велике місто — Первомайськ (Миколаївська область).

Історія
Наймолодше селище Голованівського району, що на Кіровоградщині. Воно почало писати свою сторінку в історії 1959 року, як майбутня база для металургійного комбінату по виробництву феронікелю.

Селище Побузьке розташоване на південь за 28 км від районного центру і за 3 км від залізничної станції Нікель-Побузький. Назване від близькості з річкою Південний Буг (4 км). Населення 5582 людини.

9 червня 1956 року вийшла постанова Ради Міністрів СРСР №857 про проектування і будівництво нікелевого заводу та житлового селища поблизу села Капітанки. Історія його будівництва та становлення досить нелегка. В кінці 60-х будівництво заводу було припинено через те, що на півночі СРСР і на Уралі було відкрито ряд перспективніших родовищ нікелевих руд, де можна було налагодити більш потужні виробництва. Але на той час досить успішно розбудовувалася соціальна база для майбутнього Побузького металургійного комбінату. Вже за перший рік було введено кілька житлових будинків, з 1960 року почала діяти школа (перший директор М. М. Полєвий, 80 учнів), в 1962-му відкрито дільничну лікарню (перший головний лікар М. Й. Коренєв), лазню, хлібозавод, кочегарку, два дитячих садочки. В цей час будівництво заводу очолював директор, інженер-металург М. С. Антипанов, великий обсяг будівельних робіт здійснювало Будуправління №6 (начальник В. М. Мельник), хоча до робіт були задіяні навіть "зеки" – до 1000 чоловік, ті, що відбували покарання за не тяжкі злочини. Їхня зона знаходилася на нинішній вулиці Радянської Армії, яку, втім, і понині називають "зоною".

В 1961 р. Капітанка (Капітанка-2) була перейменована на смт Побузьке, — в 1961 році Побузьке отримало статус селища міського типу.

У 1966 році в Побузькому запрацювала філія Вольногірського індустріального технікуму, який готував для майбутнього заводу кадри: електриків, теплотехніків, механіків, технологів, спеціалістів КВПіА. Більше 250 чоловік стали учнями цього технікуму. Відступати вже не було куди. Остаточне слово про завершення будівництва заводу сказав XXIV з'їзд КПРС, який включив у план наступної п'ятирічки пункт: "Завершити будівництво Побузького нікелевого заводу". Згідно цього рішення було виділені необхідні асигнування і вже в кінці 1972 року завод видав першу продукцію.
Великий внесок для становлення та успішної роботи заводу зробили директори, кандидати технічних наук О. Є. Бурочкін, В. Д. Ліньов та С. Г. Мітцев.

1996-2000 р.р. завод не працював. Селище залишилося без засобів існування, без тепла і надії на виживання. Багато фахівців виїхало. Прекрасне молоде селище, яке мало десятки сучасних магазинів, ресторан, готель, Будинок культури, спортивний комплекс, музичну школу, чотири дитячих садки, загальноосвітню школу на 1000 учнів, Будинок дитячої творчості, дільничну лікарню тощо постало перед загрозою свого існування. Першу надію селищу подарувала фірма Нікомет ЛТД, яка інвестувала у відновлення виробництва 7 млн. дол. США. В травні 2001 року завод відновив плавку металу. Але в грудні того ж року внаслідок аварії було знищено майже половину основного обладнання та інженерних мереж плавильного цеху. Відновити їх новим господарям виявилося не під силу.

У 2003 році контрольний пакет акцій ТОВ "ПФК" придбали фірми "Дагаскар Девеломпен Лімітед" і "Пегір Трейдінг". Вклавши у виробництво до 20 мільйонів доларів США, в грудні того ж року завод знову відновив роботу. Велика заслуга в цьому генерального директора Микити Варфоломійовича Новікова, який зумів належним чином організувати відновлювальні роботи і налагодити безперебійне виробництво. В 2004 р. ТОВ "ПФК" відзначено почесним званням "Краще підприємство", а продукція – знаком якості "Вища проба", в 2007 р. – кращим підприємством СНД.

Сьогодні комбінат працює на імпортній руді, яку завозять із Нової Каледонії та Індонезії, а до 2003-го руда добувалася з місцевих кар'єрів, запас якої становив 13,2 млн. тонн.
Завдяки заводу селище повернулося до нормального життя. Завод вкладає значні кошти у функціонування власної бази відпочинку, Будинку культури, лікарні, спортивного комплексу, дитячих садочків тощо. Переважно коштом заводу в селищі збудовано православний храм.
За 5 км від Побузького обабіч траси Київ-Крим знаходиться єдиний в світі Музей ракетних військ стратегічного призначення. Щосуботи в селищі працює ринок.
У Побузькому народилися: кандидат наук І. В. Плетяний, лауреати міжнародних та Всеукраїнських музичних конкурсів: піаніст Олексій Іванченко, баяністи Олексій Тітов та Андрій Сєрков, саксофоніст Микола Нерук, трубач Олександр Плохотнюк та співачка Ганна Касевич. При Будинку культури і музичній школі (рік заснування 1969 р., перший директор Філоненко В. В.) діють колективи, що мають звання народних, лауреати районних та обласних конкурсів: хор "Візерунки" (засновник і керівник В'ячеслав Бомба), вокальний ансамбль "Деліція", духовий оркестр (керівник Андрій Титаренко). Місцева спортшкола підготувала десятки майстрів спорту, призерів чемпіонатів України з велоспорту, боротьби дзюдо тощо.

Інфраструктура
У Побузькому функціонує Побузький феронікелевий комбінат. Побузьке родовище окислених залізонікелевих руд стало сировинною базою для Побузького нікелевого заводу (смт Побузьке Голованівського району Кіровоградської області). Основна його продукція — феронікель. Нікель має широке застосування у виробництві сплавів, якісних сталей, машинобудуванні, військовій техніці тощо.  Існує загальноосвітня школа, залізнична станція Нікель-Побузький. Два відділення банків України. Відремонтована лікарня - яка обслуговує і мешканців навколишніх сіл. Будинок культури - з багатьма секціями та гуртками. ЦДЮТ. Побузька дитяча музична школа. Відділення трьох поштових компаній.

Працює Митний пост «Побузьке» (смт Побузьке, вул. Промислова, 12) проводить митне оформлення товарів суб'єктів зовнішньоекономічної діяльності, супроводжуваного та несупроводжуваного багажу, вантажних, міжнародних поштових відправлень, міжнародних експрес-відправлень фізичних осіб по районах області: Гайворонському, Ульянівському, Новоархангельському, Вільшанському, Голованівському за виключенням квітів та транспортних засобів.

Поблизу селища міститься Музей ракетних військ стратегічного призначення.

Jill Stein demands 'accurate and just' recount outside Trump Tower
Green party presidential candidate holds press conference in New York as attorney celebrates 'major victory' in Michigan recount effort

On the heels of a legal victory in Michigan over the weekend, the Green party presidential nominee, Jill Stein, continued her campaign to recount presidential ballots in key swing states at a press conference outside Trump Tower on Monday.
"We're here today to stand up for a vote that is accurate, secure, fair and just, in which every vote counts," Stein said. The 2016 candidate has raised more than $7m to fund recounts in Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin, three states in which Donald Trump narrowly defeated Hillary Clinton last month.
Stein's appearance came just hours after her campaign announced a federal lawsuit in Pennsylvania to try and force a recount there. A previous state-level recount request by Stein's campaign was denied after a judge ordered her campaign to post a $1m bond.
Trump allies fight election recount 'mayhem' across Rust Belt
"It's clear that the fix was in against a verified vote in the state of Pennsylvania," Stein said, "so we are now moving to a federal court to ask the court to please stand up for our constitutional right to vote."
On Sunday in Michigan, where Trump won by a razor-thin 11,000-vote margin, the federal judge Mark Goldsmith ruled that the state's recount must begin Monday at noon. In front of the president-elect's Midtown Manhattan high rise, Jonathan Abady, one of the attorneys spearheading Stein's recount push, called the decision a "major victory" on Monday.
Stein added that Goldsmith "affirmed in this decision that this recount advances our fundamental right to vote, election fairness and accuracy".
During the campaign, Trump warned that the election would be rigged, and in his final debate against Clinton, he said that he might not accept the outcome of the election and would "look at it at the time".
But since being named the victor, Trump's tone has shifted and he has accused Stein of "attempting to sow doubts regarding the legitimacy of the presidential election" with her unprecedented multi-state recount effort – even as he himself has alleged that widespread voter fraud may have plagued the election. Trump and his legal team have been fighting Stein's recount effort.
"We are here to urge Donald Trump that there is nothing to be afraid of," Stein said Monday. "If you believe in democracy, if you believe in the credibility of your victory, put down your guards."
Stein's recount campaign has been based on a variety of accusations mostly tied to the idea that foreign actors may have attempted to turn the election through fraud and electronic hacking. So far, although many experts have expressed concerns over the vulnerability of US voting operations, no substantive, direct proof of widespread fraud has been discovered.
The most specific claim made by Stein on Monday involved what her campaign described as a preponderance of so-called undervoting in predominantly black Michigan precincts, which vote heavily Democratic. An unusual number of ballots there, according to Stein, were missing votes for president, with votes cast for candidates for other offices.
"It's important that a miscount or a dismissal of votes in communities of color not be contributing to an erroneous outcome," Stein said.

Home > Activities > Work in Publishing > Work in Publishing Blog > What is Work Experience Like? > Getting Started: What is Work Experience Like?
Pharrell Williams is my birthday bro.
What have you been doing during your work experience placement?
I have been doing all sorts of jobs for the Vintage Publicity and Marketing teams, such as liaising with literary editors and using the online databases Biblio and Gorkana. I have also helped design flyers, press releases and showcards; displayed articles about Vintage Books on the office news board and transcribed an author interview. One of my biggest jobs was to send hundreds of new book proofs and press releases to various newspapers, magazines and online journalists. There was so much work to be done in the department and everyone found different ways for me to help out.
What have you enjoyed the most? Have you found anything challenging or surprising?
The whole experience has been really interesting and enjoyable because of the wide variety of tasks I have been able to try. It was so exciting to work with new books that aren't even in the shops yet! Over the two weeks, I came into contact with so many different books and it was great to hear what the publicists thought of the novels and non-fiction titles they were working with. Of course, free books are a student's dream, so being able to fill up a couple of Bodley Head tote bags on my last day was definitely a highlight!
In terms of challenges, my time management skills were tested the whole time. I would sometimes have several tasks to do at once, so I had to work out which were most urgent, prioritise these and plan how best to use my time.
What advice would you give to someone interested in doing work experience?
The first bit of advice I would give to someone who is interested but hasn't secured a work experience placement yet is to apply through the work experience section on the careers website and to be willing to try something new.
Another piece of advice is to ask lots of questions. If you aren't sure about how to complete a task, make sure you ask for help – it's much better to get the job done correctly than to struggle by yourself. As well as this, if you want to know more about the company or the books you're working with, take advantage of your time in the office and find out. All the people I've met on my placement have been really friendly and I was lucky to speak with some of them to learn more about Vintage Books and publicity more generally. So when the people around you aren't too busy, take the opportunity to find out as much as you can about what they do and why they love it.
The last thing I would say is just to do your best work and enjoy it. I would recommend the work experience placement for anyone interested in the publishing industry and curious about how things work in such a big, successful company – it's a great experience and lots of fun!
And finally, all-time favourite book/story?
I find it so difficult to pick a favourite book, but my top five books that I've read this year are To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee, The Interpreter of Maladies by Jhumpa Lahiri, Robert Louis Stevenson's Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, Hari Kunzru's Transmission and Our Sister Killjoy by Ama Ata Aidoo.
Thanks to Vintage, right now I'm reading Toni Morrison's Jazz and Emma Cline's brilliant debut The Girls!

Gum disease is quite common among adults in the United States. In fact, it is so common that many people may not think it is a big deal. However, when left untreated, gum disease can quickly advance and even lead to gum recession. Once it sets in, the only effective course of treatment is to visit your periodontist in Ft. Lauderdale, FL. The good news is that even if you are currently experiencing a receding gum line, Dr. Tom McCawley and Dr. Mark McCawley may be able to help with special gum treatment.
Traditional gum grafting is an invasive procedure that is still in use today. Your periodontist takes healthy gum tissue from one part of your mouth and uses it to build up the gums in the diseased or recessed areas. This is a surgical procedure that you need to prepare for in advance and that requires time to heal.
The Chao Pinhole® Surgical Technique or PST™ is a minimally invasive alternative to a gum graft. Instead of taking healthy gum from one part of the mouth and moving it to another, Dr. McCawley uses specialized tools to make a pin-sized hole in the gums and carefully adjust them to a more appropriate position. Because it is minimally invasive, there is less downtime after the procedure and less pain involved overall.
While both treatment options can lead to successful results, there are definitely advantages to PST™ for patients who qualify. You should schedule a consultation with Dr. McCawley to assess your personal situation and goals. This will help you determine which procedure may be the right choice for you.
Advancements in dental technology have made it possible to treat gum recession without invasive surgical techniques. If you are suffering from advanced gum disease and looking for treatment options, contact our office to learn more about what Dr. McCawley and our team can do for you.

Q: Select a value from a nested hash with unknown keys I have a hash that looks something like this:
hash = { "data" => {
    "Aatrox" => {
        "id" => "Aatrox",
        "key" => "266",
        "name" => "Aatrox"
        },
    "Ahri" => {
        "id" => "Ahri",
        "key" => "123",
        "name" => "Ahri"
        },
    "Another name" => {
        "id" => "Another name",
        "key" => "12",
        "name" => "Another name"
        },
   }
}

I'm trying to get the value from "id" that matches a given key:
def get_champion_name_from_id(key)
    filtered = @champion_data["data"].select do | key, champ_data |
        Integer(champ_data["key"]) == key
    end
end

I'm using select to get the items that match the block, however, the return value is another hash that looks like this:
{
    "Aatrox": {
        "id" => "Aatrox",
        "key" => "266",
        "name" => "Aatrox"
    }
}

How can I avoid this and get just the last nested hash?
If the key passed was 266, I want to get this hash:
{
    "id" => "Aatrox",
    "key" => "266",
    "name" => "Aatrox"
}

This hash is the result of a parsed JSON file, so there's no way I can do filtered["Aatrox"] to get a given value.

A: Hash#values returns values only (without keys). And by using Enumerable#find, you will get the first matched item instead of an array that contains a single item.
@champion_data['data'].values.find { |champ_data|
  champ_data['key'] == '266'
}
# => {"id"=>"Aatrox", "key"=>"266", "name"=>"Aatrox"}

def get_champion_name_from_id(key)
  key = key.to_s
  @champion_data['data'].values.find { |champ_data|
    champ_data['key'] == key
  }
end

A: You can do it with the select method also:
@champion_data["data"].select do |key, val|
  @champion_data["data"][key] if @champion_data["data"][key]["key"] == "266"
end

"Send Me to the 'Lectric Chair" is a late-1920s blues song written by composer George Brooks and made famous by Bessie Smith. In the song, a female narrator confesses the murder of a deceitful lover and expresses her willingness to accept her punishment. The song is notable for being among the selections officially banned from being played on radio by the British Broadcasting Corporation.

The song, both in its original rendition and in cover versions, has been included in numerous albums as well as live performances. Profiling a new volume of Smith's recordings, a reviewer comments, "Some of her most deservedly famous records are here ... as well as some that ought to be, like 'Send Me to the 'Lectric Chair"; another reviewer also singled out that as one of two particularly "terrific numbers" that made Bessie Smith: The Complete Recordings, Vol. 3 an improvement over the previous volumes.

Additional recordings
Dinah Washington covered the song with "her own peculiar intensity," a reviewer notes in writing about the Washington biography Queen; "her recording ... can give a listener chills — especially when Dinah declares, with her strong, deliberate enunciation, 'Burn me, 'cause I don't care.' "<ref name="kunz">Mary Kunz. "The big life and big voice of Dinah Washington, The Buffalo News, 19 September 2004, Book Reviews section, page G7.</ref> A 1984 preview of a Philadelphia folk festival highlighted the song as an example of "Dave Bromberg's selection of musical esoterica" for his performances, while a critic listing his favorite death-penalty-themed tunes remarked that Bromberg's take, "in a neo-Dixieland style, even better captur[ed] its wicked humor." Bromberg continued performing the song well into the 21st century, with a 2011 concert review listing the song among "classic Bromberg faves." A reviewer praising a low-band radio station for its unusual programming noted "an inspired couple of hours of Prisoner [sic] songs, ranging from Lefty Frizzell's majestic, gothic tale of love and murder "Long Black Veil" to Bessie Smith's touching plea, 'Send Me to the 'Lectric Chair."

Tracy Nelson covered the song for her 1995 album I Feel So Good,David Steinberg. "Honoring her colorful musical roots," Albuquerque Journal, 7 April 1995, page E25.David Prince. "Lightning strikes when her voice is unleashed," The Santa Fe New Mexican, 7 April 1995, Pasatiempos/Reviews section, page 21. in a performance that reviewer Paul Harris said "summons a perfectly Gothic essence of dread that few blues singers these days convincingly bring to the form." Harris interviewed the singer later that year for a piece that begins with a quote from the lyrics: "Judge, your honor, hear my plea / Before you open up your court / I don't want no sympathy / Because I cut my good man's throat," calling the verse a "dire lyric" that "recalls for us that the blues are, in essence, a gothic tradition." Nelson, whose rendition Harris called "satirical" and a Chicago Sun-Times reviewer called "surprisingly playful," dedicated the song on at least one occasion in 1996 to O. J. Simpson. Nelson's version also appeared on a 2001 Rounder Records compilation album of women blues singers, Any Woman's Blues, and in her 2003 live-performance album recorded at West Tennessee Detention Center, Live from Cell-Block D, leading one favorable reviewer to comment on the "temerity" of singing this song in a prison venue, chalking the choice up to "her fabled perversity."

In 2004, artist Eden Brent included the song as one of the tracks for her debut album Something Cool'', in what a reviewer termed "notably a great go at 'Send Me to the 'lectric Chair'" in highlights of the covers on the release. Actor-singer Tyne Daly included "'Lectric Chair" in her 2010 musical live show "Songs"; reviewer David Wiegand called the performance "one of the highlights [in a] show with nothing but highlights," saying it was "suitably low-down without lapsing into a parody of the blues" and Richard Houdek characterized as "a brassy, no-regrets account."

Q: How to handle long press media button, in order to launch activity? I would want to know how to launch an activity when long pressing media button.
In this case, I don't want to launch the default activity : the media reader, this one must keep lauching when media button has been short pressed.
Hope, I've been explicite.
A.L.
Subsidiary question : Why some hard key, like the search button, can directly launch activity specifying it in the activity attribute of the manifest.xml , and others, like media button, are only mentioned for broadcast action ?

A: I think what you need to do is this:

*

*Add this to your manifest:
<receiver android:name="com.example.MediaButtonReceiver">
   <intent-filter android:priority="1000000000">
    <action android:name="android.intent.action.MEDIA_BUTTON" />
   </intent-filter>
    </receiver>

*Create the class MediaButtonReceiver:
public class MediaButtonReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
    public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
        String intentAction = intent.getAction();
        if (Intent.ACTION_MEDIA_BUTTON.equals(intentAction)) {
                KeyEvent event = (KeyEvent)
                intent.getParcelableExtra(Intent.EXTRA_KEY_EVENT);

        if (event == null) {
            return;
        }

        int keycode = event.getKeyCode();
        int action = event.getAction();
        long eventtime = event.getEventTime();

        if (keycode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_MEDIA_PLAY_PAUSE || keycode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_HEADSETHOOK) {
            if (action == KeyEvent.ACTION_DOWN) {
                // Start your app here!

                // ...

                if (isOrderedBroadcast()) {
                    abortBroadcast();
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

I mostly copied this from here: https://android.googlesource.com/platform/packages/apps/Music/+/master/src/com/android/music/MediaButtonIntentReceiver.java
Also, this depends on the MEDIA_BUTTON broadcast being ordered, which I assume it is. The priority should be set to something higher than the media app. Unfortunately the media app uses the default priority, and the documentation doesn't say what that is (quelle surprise).
