First released in 1974, Rainer Werner Fassbinder's Ali: Fear Eats The Soul has become one of the German filmmaker's most poignant work to date. This beautifully crafted melodrama deals with themes of love, alienations and racism in post-war Germany. Credited by some as being single-handedly responsible for reviving German cinema after the war, Fassbinder's films were part of the New German Cinema movement, and saw him become one of the most influential directors of his time, at home and around the world.
Said to be loosely adapted from Douglas Sirk's 1954 film All That Heaven Allows, Fear Eats The Soul tells the story of a taboo love affair between a German widow in her 60s and a much younger Moroccan migrant worker. Emmi (Brigitte Mira) first meets car mechanic Ali (El Hedi ben Salem) at a bar popular with Arab workers whilst trying to shelter from the rain. Ali approaches her and asks for a dance and offers to walk her home when she's ready to leave. Soon the pair form a strong bond and embark on a whirlwind romance, with Ali moving into his lover's apartment shortly after meeting. Embarrassed by the age gap, Emmi at first tries her best to hide their relationship from prying eyes, including those of her own children, neighbours and work colleagues. Things soon begin to unravel when the lovers find themselves battling against prejudice and preconceived opinions about race and social standing in a country still getting to terms with its dark past.
From the offset, Fassbinder uses his superb mise-en-scene skills to add a sense of isolation of the two lovers. Emmi and Ali are presented to us as a couple completely cut off from the rest of society. They are often framed into tableau-style lingering shots with people looking in from the outside at them, this is used to convey a strong idea of "them against us" from the couple's point of view. Combined with a deadpan delivery from the cast and an almost jarringly monotonous dialogue, Fassbinder manages to add urgency to the subject matter. He uses melodrama and artifice as a launching pad to convey far more pressing and grittier issues relating to all forms of prejudice.
Ali: Fear Eats The Soul presents its audience with a veritable cornucopia of things to unpack, there are so many layers added to the film with each viewing. And with the recent political development relating to the refugee crisis in Europe, the film will allow a whole new generation of filmgoers to discover a beautifully made social commentary piece about prejudice and the fear of otherness. A timeless classic which gets better with age.
Fear Eats the Soul is in cinemas from Friday March 31st.

Gazpacho is one of my favorite summer eats. It is so versatile and just screams "SUMMER"!! I have tried oodles of different recipes and found "MY" perfect Gazpacho! My recipe does not use tomato juice or V8 (I like both fine to mix in my Bloody Mary, however adding either to Gazpacho, in my opinion just makes it taste like tomato juice!) The secret is simmering the tomatoes. It brings out a depth of flavor that is just amazing!! I hope you enjoy!!
Start by placing 1 onion, half the tomatoes, wine and vinegar in food processor and blitz. Place in soup pot. Repeat with remaining ingredients adding the olive oil and spices, pulse just to chunk tomatoes and onion. Add to pot, simmer 10 mins. Chill overnight for best flavor!!
Add diced veggies such as cucumbers, celery, sweet bell peppers, grape or cherry tomatoes, croutons, shrimp, the possibilities are endless!!!!
What screams summer to you? Share your favorite summer recipe!!

This project is an exploration of what home is and how the concept of home is shaped by immigration. I will be exploring what this means in the modern world in relation to identity and loss.
In this project I am working with a book my grandad wrote about his life as an archive. He was a refugee after the Second World War. He had to make a new life for himself in the UK, teaching himself English and finding employment. I will be exploring his experiences of displacement and the challenges he had when he had settled in the UK.
When he was alive, he rarely talked about his experiences of his life before he moved to the UK. But he wanted us all to know about them, and so he communicated in the best way he could, through writing a book for us all to read.

I have been working with text from his book, and finding parts which help me to understand him and his experiences better. He writes about his family in the book, and describes his mum in detail.
Original text from Grandad's book, embroidered onto cotton cloth.
I have chosen to turn some of his words into embroidery. I was drawn to this process as it requires me to sit with his words for a prolonged period of time. As I embroider the sentence goes round and round in my head. It helps me to connect fully with his words and thing about the feelings that came up for him when he wrote them.
Unfortunately, after my grandad had to leave his village, he never saw his mum again, as he wasn't able to return for a number of years, and sadly she had then died. He writes about how much she sacrificed for him and his siblings, and how he writes his book for her.
I am working on lots of smaller pieces connected to this project. The embroidery pieces may be framed, or sewn together to make a larger piece. The details of this will emerge as the project grows.
I am taking this project slowly, and will be working on it for the rest of 2022 as well as 2023. I will continue to update this page as I make more artwork connected to this project.

6 strategies to take your career to the next level this year
Success is the sum of small efforts repeated daily — here are a few that really add up.
When it comes to your career, it's not bad to have an agenda — and let other people know about it.Rafal Rodzoch / Getty Images/Caiaimage

By Brianna Steinhilber
What does career success look like to you? Is it starting your own company? Building a thriving freelance career that allows you to work from anywhere in the world? Climbing the corporate ladder and landing in the corner office?
Whatever your lofty career goals may be, success doesn't happen overnight. And no one knows that better that Rhonesha Byng, founder and CEO of Her Agenda, a digital media platform that gives millennial women access to information to help them move their career to the next level. She began her career at NBC News as an intern, and eventually climbed her way to field producer, where she won an Emmy award as part of team coverage for a breaking news. Today, her resume also boasts speaking at the White House and a spot in the 2017 class of Forbes' 30 Under 30.
How'd she get here? "One of my favorite quotes that applies here is by Robert Collier: 'Success is the sum of small efforts repeated day in and day out.'" says Byng. Which leaves us all wondering, what exactly are the small efforts that add up to big success? The expert on climbing the corporate ladder, and letting nothing stand in your way, offers up her best tips for taking your career to the next level.
1. Help people help you
Goals are often something we jot down in a notebook and revisit every so often; we have a mental plan of how we're going to accomplish these things and a sense what that trajectory looks like. But, according to Byng, this information isn't doing us any good kept to ourselves.
"Be vocal about where you see yourself going and your goals," she says. "Most people want to help you, you just need to show and tell them how. It's not bad to have an agenda when it comes to your career. Own it. This helps people know what type of opportunities to share with you and understand how they can possibly help you connect the dots in your career."
When you do have the opportunity to share your accomplishments and future goals with others, it's important to tailor your "pitch" to the audience. For example, you may be used to spewing off all your accolades — dancer, teacher, writer, host, brand consultant and social media strategist — after all, the more accomplishments the better right?
One small thingHow to Use One Small Daily Ritual to Tackle a Big Goal
Wrong. "What seasoned professionals hear when you say that you do a million and one things is that you are unfocused — especially when your experience doesn't reflect your titles," says Byng. "Listen, I know you don't lack focus, you're just multi-passionate (many of us are). However, the first step to delivering a compelling message? Know your audience. When introducing yourself to others, remain mindful of your environment and your key objective in speaking with the individual."
3. Don't shoot too high — at first
Sure, we all have big dreams. But you're not realistically going to go from intern to CEO overnight — nor should that be your goal. You need to do the work to back it up.
Make it your goal to "master your current role before trying to be the CEO," says Byng. "As an entry level employee or intern your goal should be to demonstrate your competency and capability to handle the smallest tasks. View it as an opportunity to build (and earn) trust, respect and credibility from your colleagues through flawless execution of those tasks. Focus on the task at hand keeping your 'big' ideas in mind for a timely and deserving pitch."
4. Be solution-oriented
This may sound like a no brainer, but take note of the contributions made during your next meeting. Chances are, more of them focus on why things won't work, or proposing open-ended suggestions or questions, versus presenting concrete solutions. Be conscious of this and work to actively change the way you're contributing.
"Don't point out what's wrong, or present ideas in the form of a question," says Byng. For example: "Should we have a quarterly meeting soon?" versus "I noticed we haven't had a chance to go over goals in a while, I'm looking into scheduling an all hands session for Tuesday afternoon."

5. Use technology to your advantage
Technology has made every area of our lives faster and easier. So make sure you're taking advantage of it at work, too. Byng recommends installing a few plug ins and apps to up your productivity at the office:
Streak: This plug-in helps with scheduling and tracking. Her favorite feature is the ability to schedule an unlimited amount of emails. "I consider it unprofessional to email people outside of business hours. It might be old school, but think back to the last time you got an email at 2 a.m. on a Saturday night? What impression did you get of that person?" says Byng. "In my mind, it seems that person might not have great time management, which would be likely to be reflected in their work. Avoid falling into that category and just schedule your emails!" The plug in also lets you know when the person opened it, on what device and how long they spent looking at it."
Camscanner: If you need to scan something, no need to go looking for a printer — this app is all you need. You can take a picture of the paper and it will turn it into a readable, enhanced PDF. "It has helped me digitize contracts in a pinch," says Byng.
Trello: The ultimate organization tool, Byng uses the program as her to-do list, and also as a way to collaborate with her team on projects. "To keep focused on my priorities I keep it simple and use Trello to track and prioritize projects. It's the first thing I check and organize for the day before I even open my email (so that I start the day being proactive instead of reactive)," says Byng. "I do believe there's power in writing things down, and I did for a time heavily rely on physical agenda books to do this, but then I realized that I didn't always have it on me, and I couldn't sync it with my team. So now I've officially gone digital with my to-do list."
6. Gather your team: mentors, champions and sponsors
No matter how hard you work, you can't get to the top on your own. Byng recommends having three types of people in your corner to help advise, support and promote your career:
Mentors: your personal board of directors
Sponsors: people who are the decision makers who can advocate for you on a high level behind closed doors
Champions: everyone who knows you/follows you on social media

Since Ghanaian gold firm Menzgold started having issues with the Bank of Ghana and the Security And Exchange Commission, their sister company Zylofon also started falling apart and one could just tell the correlation.
Gospel musician Joyce Blessing on few occasions had proven that she is no more with the Zylofon Music record label which generated a lot of controversies.
In a most recent video posted by the songstress, a fan commented that he needs his Menzgold money and the reply from Joyce Blessing was just shocking.
We didn't expect her to go that far with her choice of words but we can't blame her either since she's human.

Главная / News / Opening of the mosque in Moscow will allow Erdogan to have a talk with Putin
Opening of the mosque in Moscow will allow Erdogan to have a talk with Putin
22.09.2015	News Оставить комментарий 348 Просмотр(ов)
On September 23, in Moscow Vladimir Putin will hold negotiations with his Turkish counterpart Recep Tayyip Erdogan, as reported by the Press Secretary of the President of Russia. This is the second rendezvous of the two leaders in 2015 after the failed meetings in Baku within the opening of the First European games. At that time Erdogan had a long wait for Putin, and then he had to hear jokes about failed attempts of Turkey to join the European Union.
The Turkish stream and Syria are in the context of recent events around this country, and these two important questions are on the agenda of the discussions between Putin and Erdogan, — says Semyon Bagdasarov, Head of the Center for Middle East and Central Asia studies. According to him, Turkey is alarmed at the rise of Russia in the Syrian issue, as well as at the fact that Moscow increases its military aid to Damascus.
«Ankara has been playing a very destabilizing role in Syria, and Turkish leadership, including Erdogan, personally, is guilty of destabilizing the situation in the country. They wished for the speedy overthrow of Bashar al-Assad. In 2011, Erdogan said that they would do the prayer in the mosque of Umayyad in Damascus. He is concerned that his plans are crumbling,» says Semyon Bagdasarov in his interview to RUSARMINFO. The expert excludes the possibility that Erdogan will be able to achieve success in reducing the Russian assistance to Syria, adding that Turkey is afraid of confrontation with Russia and the change of balance of forces in the region. There is also another question, whether Erdogan can negotiate with Putin on equal terms, given the fact that the situation in Turkey gets out of his control.
«In Turkey the chaos is growing, and in a short time a civil war may start. The Pro-Kurdish Peoples ' democratic party leader, Demirtas Selahattin has warned about this. In addition, according to the Constitution, the main figure in Turkey is Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu, not Mr. Erdogan, and day by day it becomes harder and harder for him to control the situation in the country,» explains Semyon Bagdasarov. Note: On September 23 in Moscow will be held the opening ceremony of the Grand mosque on the eve of the Muslim holiday of Eid al-Adha. At the opening of the mosque will arrive also presidents of Azerbaijan, Palestine, Jordan, Qatar, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Iran, Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan. However, the Russian leader will hold meetings only with Turkish and Palestinian counterparts.

Market Digest Nigeria
External reserves increase by 15% in three months
By Market Digest Nigeria
The nation's external reserves have risen by 15 per cent in the past three months, the latest data from the Central Bank of Nigeria have shown.
Specifically, the foreign exchange reserves increased by $3.6bn from $23.8bn on October 19, 2016 to $27.4bn on January 19, 2017, the CBN data showed on Sunday.
The statistics also indicated that the balance in the reserves had increased by $1.6bn during the first 19 days of this year. The increase is estimated at 6.2 per cent.
The country's external reserves, which have been increasing significantly in recent months, had risen to $27.3bn on January 17 after hitting $26.9bn on January 13.
Within a period of 11 days, the reserves increased by $1bn, rising from $26.3bn on January 6 to $27.3bn on January 17, according to the central bank's statistics.
Similarly, the foreign exchange reserves jumped from $25.3bn on December 22, 2016 to $27.3bn on January 17. Within a space of three days, the reserves rose by $300m from $26.2bn on January 6 to $26.5bn on January 9.
Between December 30, 2016 and January 12, 2017, the foreign exchange reserves rose from $25.8bn to $26.8bn, indicating an accretion of $1bn in two weeks.
Following the gradual increase in crude oil price and production output, the foreign exchange reserves have been rising steadily since November.
Experts, however, said the slowdown in foreign exchange allocation to forex markets by the CBN might have contributed to the reserves accretion.
Currency and economic experts are not sure if the current accretion in the external reserves' is sustainable amid a falling naira and acute shortage of dollar in the foreign exchange markets and the economy.
ALSO READ Kidnapped Daura district head released after 3 months
The CBN had spent $4bn from the nation's external reserves to defend the local currency last year, despite the staggering fall in the value of the naira against the United States dollar and other major foreign currencies during the period.
The controversial defence of the naira by the CBN has come under severe criticism by economists, who believe forces of demand and supply should be allowed to determine the exchange rate of the naira.
The country's reserves had recorded $23.89bn low on October 19. The reserves dropped by 15.9 per cent between 2015 and 2016
The reserves ended last year with $25.84bn on December 30, 2016.

Gross capital formation shrank 1.2 percent, following a 4.6 percent increase in the previous period and mainly due to a 1.4 percent fall in business investment.
On the production side, increases were recorded for agriculture, forestry and fishing (1.6 percent), production (0.1 percent) and services (0.8 percent). The only component to decrease was construction (-2.1 percent).
Year-on-year, the GDP advanced at its fastest pace in seven years (2.7 percent), bringing full year growth to 2.6 percent.


Media Burn Archive – Happy Birthday, Jimmy Carter!
Former President Jimmy Carter celebrated his 91st birthday on October 1. Many say that he has been the most effective ex-President in history. He won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2002 for his Carter Center activities worldwide. We just read that, despite his brain tumors, Carter still teaches Sunday school in Georgia and is active in Habitat for Humanity.
Habitat for Humanity started in 1976 and has built more than a million houses all over the world for more than five million people. Carter has always been unassuming and hands-on, as can be seen from this video by Nancy Cain and Judith Binder (originally shown on THE 90's series in 1990) when he and Rosalynn were working on a new house with Habitat in San Diego.

Michigan apricots are not so easy to find! We are pushing the limits growing them this far north but it is worth the challenge!
The joy of biting into Michigan apricots can put a smile on anyone's face. We hear it all the time-"I don't like apricots". Unfortunately, most people have not had the experience of biting into a fresh, tree ripened, Michigan 'cot. As soon as they do however, their opinion quickly changes as juice drips down their smiling face.
Michigan apricots bloom early, and are ready for harvest right after the cherries. They are usually ripe by the end of July. Apricots are an ancient fruit originating from China, and cultivated in Europe 2,000 years ago.
They are not a fruit of significant commercial importance in Michigan, but true lovers of this fruit say that we grow some of the best tasting Apricots anywhere. We grow Goldcots, a variety developed at Michigan State University, as well as three varieties from the Harrow Research Station in Ontario: Harcot (early); Harglow (mid-season); and Harlane (late season).
U -Pick Apricot season begins around late July and lasts approximately two weeks.
Everyone's favorite! Great for canning and fresh eating. They are very sweet and juicy. This is the most versatile pear, and is especially well suited to our northern climate, as the trees require cold winter temperatures to be at their best (900-1000 hours below 45 degrees to properly break their rest period).
A large, high quality late ripening russet pear, these are often referred to as winter pears. They will store as late as November when kept cool. To ensure the sweet, juicy flavor they are famous for, they should be gold in color. Take two or three at a time out of cold storage and set them on the counter until they ripen to a golden color. This way you can extend the season for great Bosc fresh eating.
We always have Stanley plums in the fruitstand in early September. The Stanley is by far the most popular plum variety, especially for the roadside fruitstand market. Incidentally, did you know that Michigan has more roadside fruit markets than any other state? Believe it or not, we have customers who drive over 500 miles just to buy northern Michigan fruit.

Travelers make their way through Miami International Airport in Miami, Fla., on Dec. 28, 2021. (Joe Raedle/Getty Images)
More Than 2,200 Flights Canceled on Jan. 2 Amid COVID-19 Staffing Issues, Snowstorm
By Jack Phillips
Jack Phillips is a breaking news reporter at The Epoch Times based in New York.
More than 2,200 flights have been canceled on Jan. 2, the day after New Year's, amid staffing shortages and poor weather conditions in some parts of the United States.
Some 2,233 flights within, into, or out of the United States were canceled on the morning of Jan. 2, according to tracking website FlightAware. About 3,000 delays have been reported, the website's data show.
Chicago's O'Hare International Airport had the most delays and cancellations, with more than 500 flights being canceled, according to FlightAware. Denver International Airport had nearly 300 cancellations.
The mess of flight cancellations can be blamed, in part, on snowstorms that have affected O'Hare and Denver's airport. Some have suggested that flight crew shortages are also to blame amid a bevy of COVID-19-related sick calls in recent days, which have likely been exacerbated by airlines' vaccine requirements for staff.
SkyWest Airlines, which operates flights for American, Delta, United, and Alaska airlines, saw the most cancellations on Jan. 2. About 20 percent of its scheduled flights, or 479 flights, were scuppered, the data show. Mesa Airlines, Envoy Air, and Air Wisconsin—also regional carriers—canceled dozens of flights on Jan. 2.
Among national carriers, Southwest Airlines canceled about 11 percent of its flights, or about 411 of them, on Jan. 2. The Dallas-based firm told media outlets that it suspended operations in Chicago over the weekend due to a snowstorm.
Delta Air Lines also saw about 160 flights, or 6 percent, get canceled on Jan. 2. Delta Chief Executive Ed Bastian asked the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in December to cut the isolation time for people who test positive for COVID-19, the disease caused by the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus, from 10 days to five days—and the CDC has recently changed its recommendations to five days.

JetBlue canceled about 169 flights, or 16 percent, on Jan. 2, coming after the New York-based firm recently said it would proactively cancel about 1,300 flights due to staffing issues. In 2021, JetBlue Chief Executive Robin Hayes announced that employees at the firm, which is a federal contractor and must comply with the Biden administration's vaccine mandate, would have to get vaccinated, leading to some layoffs.
On Jan. 1, about 2,300 flights in the United States were canceled, continuing a trend of widespread cancellations that has lasted for more than a week. Some carriers have blamed the rise in Omicron coronavirus variant cases, leading to staffing shortages, while others have said the travel demand for Christmas and New Year's is high.
Over the past week, about 15,000 flights have been canceled in the United States, according to an analysis of reports.
"The nationwide spike in Omicron cases has had a direct impact on our flight crews and the people who run our operation," a United Airlines spokesperson told media outlets on Jan. 1. "As a result, we've unfortunately had to cancel some flights and are notifying impacted customers in advance of them coming to the airport."
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) warned on Dec. 30 of even more travel delays in the coming days due to COVID-19 infections among FAA employees, as well as "weather and heavy seasonal traffic." On Dec. 30, the TSA screened about 2,049,604 people at airport checkpoints across the United States, down slightly from 2,392,331 in 2019—but much higher than 2020 levels.
Also, outside of the United States, about 1,500 flights have been canceled—with the bulk apparently occurring among Chinese carriers, FlightAware data show.

EMELYANENKO: "Khabib has always fought light fighters. Nobody knows them"
The famous fighter criticized the champion for the selection of the opposition
Mixed martial arts fighter Alexander Emelianenko agreed with the head of the Chechen Republic Ramzan Kadyrov, who called Khabib Nurmagomedov a UFC project.
– Is there any truth in the words of Ramzan Kadyrov that Khabib is a UFC project?
– Yes. If you look, Khabib always fights not with difficult fighters, but with easy ones. So he chooses. He had one tough opponent: Conor McGregor. And he overestimated himself a little. And the rest of the fighters are generally unknown. Who did he fight, where? Nobody knows about it. They know about 29-0, and who won these 29 times is unknown, "said Emelianenko.
Note that Nurmagomedov announced his retirement in March 2021.

Karl Marx, "Dispatches for the New York Tribune: selected journalism of Karl Marx"
Karl Marx is arguably the most famous political philosopher of all time, but he was also one of the great foreign correspondents of the nineteenth century. Drawing on his eleven-year tenure at the New York Tribune (which began in 1852), this completely new collection presents Marx's writings on an abundance of topics, from issues of class and state to world affairs. Particularly moving pieces highlight social inequality and starvation in Britain, while others explore his groundbreaking views on the slave and opium trades. Throughout, Marx's fresh perspective on nineteenth-century events reveals a social consciousness that remains inspiring to this day.

Marshall Sahlins, "Stone Age Economics"
Stone Age Economics is a classic study of anthropological economics, first published in 1974. As Marshall Sahlinsstated in the first edition, "It has been inspired by the possibility of 'anthropological economics,' a perspective indebted rather to the nature of the primitive economies than to the categories of a bourgeois science." Ambitiously tackling the nature of economic life and how to study it comparatively, the book includes six studies which reflect the author's ideas on revising traditional views of the hunter-gatherer and so-called primitive societies, revealing them to be the original affluent society. The book examines notions of production, distribution and exchange in early communities and examines the link between economics and cultural and social factors. It consists of a set of detailed and closely related studies of tribal economies, of domestic production for livelihood, and of the submission of domestic production to the material and political demands of society at large.

Michael Bakunin, "Selected Writings"
A collection of writings from the champion of Anarchism, Mikhail Bakunin. Includes "God and the State", "Marxism, Freedom and the State", "The Policy of the International", and "The Paris Commune and the Idea of the State". Preface gives a brief biography. Qualitatively the best collection of Bakunin's writings that currently exists, this selection presents the reader with some of Bakunin's most important writings, and illustrates his development from being a close follower of Hegel to becoming the great adversary of Marx and Marxist socialism.
Raoul Vaneigem, "The revolution of everyday life"
Raoul Vaneigem was one of the most important thinkers within the Situationist International as well as frequent editor of their journal Internationale Situationniste. The Revolution of Everyday Life, written in Vaneigem's typically poetic style, is one of the most important of the Situationist texts, attacking the alienation of capitalist life not only at work but also in our 'free' time.

Q: How to create XSL for an XML In my C# application, I get a word document's XML code and I want to convert it to HTML using XslCompiledTransform, just like this answer and this one suggest.
But the problem is how to get or create the XSL stylesheet to use in this line:
var myXslTrans = new XslCompiledTransform();
myXslTrans.Load("stylesheet.xsl");  //<- How to get this
myXslTrans.Transform("source.xml","result.html");

In this tutorial, it shows how to create an XSL for an XML. But is it possible to do it programmatically for whatever XML you have?
It's a sample of what XML document I got:

Update
Reading the comments makes me believe that it's not possible to  create XSL for whatever XML document programmatically.
So how can I get XSl for this specific XML which is in my question?
If I open this XML in Microsoft word it shows the real word document with all styles. I know there is HTML code for it as well. So I want to get the HTML code to show the same result in Microsoft word

A:
So how can I get XSL for this specific XML which is in my question?

Use Microsoft Words XSL file:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office15\XML2WORD.XSL

A: Can't you use XSL-Parameters for your dynamic work?
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dfktf882%28v=vs.110%29.aspx
You could pass some parameter for switching through some xsl-statements.

A: Updated answer:
As we know XSLT is an XML document, we can simply create an xml file with xslt attritubes and extension. we can follow this strategy.
...
XDocument document = documentBuilder.newDocument();

Element rootElement = document.createElement("xsl:stylesheet");
// adding attributes like namespaces etc...

document.appendChild(rootElement);
Element em = document.createElement("xsl:template");
em.setAttribute("match", "/");
....

This is just an idea. You can design your xslt document like this and follow the correct syntax.Apology for not understanding question in the first answer.Hope this helps


In this tutorial, we will learn about how to increment the floating point number stored at a field inside the hash value stored at key in redis datastore. For this we will use a COMMAND – HINCRBYFLOAT in redis-cli.
This command is used to increment the floating point number stored at a specified field in the hash value stored at key by a specified value (increment). If given field does not exist in the hash value, then it is added with the specified increment as its value. If key does not exist, a new hash value is created with the given field as its only member. If negative floating point number is passed as an argument then field value will be decremented instead of incremented.
An error is returned, if key exist but value stored at a key is not of hash datatype or if field value or the specified increment value are not a double precision floating point number.
- (string) reply, representing the new value stored at the field.
That's all for how to increment the floating point number stored at a field in the hash value stored in redis datastore. If you liked it, please share your thoughts in comments section and share it with others too.


Flexion and extension are the movements of muscles that occur in the sagittal plane. Flexion causes bending while extension causes straightening. Here's a comparison between the two.
Most exercises are known to use both flexion and extension. Squats is a well-known exercise in which both hips move from extension into flexion, and then back into extension. Here the hips and knees spend more time in flexion.
Flexion and extension are muscle movements about the joints. Whether the movement is a flexion or extension depends on the direction in which it takes place and on whether it increases or decreases the angles between the body parts involved. Both these movements occur in the sagittal plane, which is a vertical plane dividing the body into left and right.
Flexion refers to the bending motion of joints wherein there is a decrease in the angle between the adjoining bones. Downward flexing of the foot or toes is referred to as plantar flexion. Turning the foot or toe upward is known as dorsiflexion.
Extension is the exact reverse of flexion. It refers to the unbending motion of a flexed joint wherein there is an increase in the angle between the adjoining bones.
Both flexion and extension can be carried out in the thumb, wrist, arm, knee, shoulder, hip, and spine. These movements are possible with the synovial joints in the body.
Neck: When you move your chin towards your chest, your neck is flexed. When you extend your neck behind as if you were looking at the ceiling, it is extension.
Shoulder: When you raise your arm above your head, your shoulder is flexed. When you lower your arm and take it behind you, it is extended.
Knee: When you move your lower leg towards the back of your thigh, your knee is flexed. When you move your lower leg away from the back of your thigh, or in short, straighten it, it is knee extension.
Wrist and Thumb: When the palm bends towards the arm, it is wrist flexion, while extension is when it bends away from the arm. Moving the bone below the thumb towards the hand is thumb flexion. Moving it away from the hand in extension.
The extensions and flexions of the thumb and wrist, considered as range-of-motion exercises, are believed to be among the commonly recommended exercises for hand and wrist problems.
◼ It is a bending movement of certain joints that causes a decrease in angle between the adjoining bones.
◼ It is a movement that is reverse of flexion, causing an increase in the angle between the adjoining bones.
◼ Here it is said to be initiated by the agonist and opposed by the antagonist.
→ That is, in a flexed elbow the biceps are agonist and the triceps are the antagonist.
◼ Here, the roles are reversed, and it is initiated by the antagonist and opposed by the agonist.
→ That is, in an extended elbow the triceps are the agonist and the biceps are the antagonists.
The aforementioned comparison should prove beneficial in understanding the two terms in a better way.


Townsend, Horatio. Statistical survey of the county of Cork. Dublin: Graisberry and Campbell, 1810.
Map of Cork, taken from Townsend's Statistical Survey of the County of Cork, 1810.
Rev. Townsends' Statistical Survey of the County Cork was undertaken on behalf of the Dublin Society and first published in 1810. It is a survey of in particular the agricultural economy of County Cork, the largest in the island of Ireland, and makes suggestions for its future improvement.
In the first section Townsend describes the topography of Cork and its climate, minerals, soil and waterways. The second section describes the agricultural activities in the county in particular grain production, vegetable growing and animal husbandry. The third section covers the cattle industry, dairying, grass, hay making and the prices of hides, wools and other goods. The fourth section describes the size and types of farms, the relationship between tenants and landlords, assizes, types of leases and the running of estates of landlords. A general inquiry section covers a wide range of subjects such as river navigation, towns and villages, the speaking of Irish and English, education, the diet, clothing and living conditions of the people and much more.
In the early 19th century County Cork was dominated by Anglo-Irish Protestant landowning dynasties while the majority of the Gaelic Irish population lived in poverty working as labourers on vast estates but surviving largely on a diet of potatoes. The majority still spoke Gaelic rather than English. The population of Ireland was increasing while small holdings were subdivided generation upon generation with potatoes becoming the stable diet of the poor. During the Napoleonic Wars which were ongoing at the time of Townsend's survey, Ireland 's agricultural economy boomed but would suffer a dramatic crash from 1815 onwards. Parallel with these changes the gradual removal of the Penal Laws from the late 18th century culminating in Catholic Emancipation in 1829 allowed a new class of Irish Catholic farmers to prosper in County Cork .
In the 1840s the Great Potato Famine decimated the class of landless labourers and created a tide of mass emigration that would continue into the 20th century. Between 1841 and 1851 alone the population of Cork dropped by 24% and Irish language went into a dramatic decline. The latter half of the 19th century also saw increasingly agrarian unrest nad political agitation in Co. Cork that came to a head in the passage of a series of land acts that broke up the landlord system. By the early 20th century the majority of former Irish Catholic tenants had bought their own land.
Townsend's survey like similar surveys of other Irish counties in the first decade of the 19th century on behalf of the Dublin Society, provides a snapshot of Irish society on the cusp of sweeping and revolutionary economic and social change.


penlaur computes the first Laurent coefficients of (s*E-A)^-1 at infinity.
(s*E-A)^-1 = ... + Si/s - Pi - s*Di + ... at s = infinity.
order = order of the singularity (order=index-1).
The matrix pencil Fs=s*E-A should be invertible.
For a index-zero pencil, Pi, Di,... are zero and Si=inv(E).
For a index-one pencil (order=0),Di =0.
Di(2)=Di*A*Di, Di(3)=Di*A*Di*A*Di (up to Di(order)).


I can barely contain my excitement. The latest results of the review period from the second trimester of 2014 are in and #011 Angus MacLane's Wall•E has, predictably, made the cut. Congratulations, Angus!
Also being produced is #012 AndrewClark2's Dr. Who and Companions set. This set as well as GlenBricker's Doctor Who set were holdovers from the previous review period, first trimester of 2014. Unfortunately, GlenBricker's set was not approved but it makes logical sense as it were unlikely that two sets based on the same IP would have been approved. Congratulations, Andrew!
The projects that didn't make it from the second trimester of 2014 review period are LDiEGo's Invisible Hand, DarthKy's X-men X-mansion, scott34567's LEGO Lightsabers, Cavegod's UCS AT-AT, DarthKy's Assault on Wayne Manor, Sergio512's Ghostbusters HQ, and GRusso's Hubble Space Telescope. I am quite surprised that the Hubble Space Telescope didn't make the cut given LEGO Cuusoo's/Idea's track record for all things NASA. The Ghostbusters HQ would have been a nice followup to the Ecto-1 set to give it a home. And it's not surprising the others were rejected.

Is it true that people with hemihypertrophy are more likely to get cancer?
Hemihypertrophy, also called hemihyperplasia, is a greater-than-normal asymmetry between the right and left sides of the body. It can occur as an independent condition (isolated hemihypertrophy) or as a part of a genetic syndrome (i.e. Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome). Because hemihypertrophy is a disorder of the body's normal controls of growth, it is not surprising that people with this condition can also have a higher rate of cancer.
In one study, 168 children with isolated hemihypertrophy were very carefully followed to try to determine the true rate of cancer in children with this condition. Just under 6% developed childhood tumors (American Journal of Medical Genetics, 1998; 79:274–278). The most common cancer is Wilms' tumor (of the kidney), followed by adrenal carcinoma and liver cancer (hepatoblastoma).
Because most of the cancers occur in the abdomen, the recommendation has been made (by the participants of the First International Conference on Molecular and Clinical Genetics of Childhood Renal Tumors–among others) that children with hemihypertrophy receive a screening abdominal ultrasound every 3 months until age 7 and, at minimum, a careful physical examination every 6 months until growth is completed (I prefer ultrasound). One proposed exception to this recommendation is in hemihypertrophy due to Klippel-Trenaunay Syndrome– the risk of Wilm's tumor does not appear to be increased in these cases (Pediatrics 2004; 113:326-329).
Some argue that screening for cancer in children with hemihypertrophy is not cost effective because most children do not get these tumors and, even for those who do, these tumors are fairly easy to treat even if caught late. Be that as it may, if it were my child, I would insist on the screening.

Co-infections might negitively affect the Lyme disease transmission and progression; this could be important in diagnosing and treating Lyme disease and other tickborne illnesses. NIAID (National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease) continues to work toward better understanding the effects of Lyme disease co-infections.
Scientists have recognized more than a dozen tickborne diseases in the United States alone, and new ones are still being discovered. One tick may carry more than one disease, causing some people to acquire more than one co-infection from a single tick bite! The symptoms of these Lyme disease co-infections are often nonspecific – such as fever or headache – which makes diagnosis difficult and the treatments necessary may be different depending on the true cause of infection.
Experienced doctors may be able to distinguish between each of the lyme disease co-infections and order appropriate tests and treatments to corrently confirm a diagnosis. Sometimes they start to suspect a co-infection when the patient does not respond well to treatment and it becomes obvious that something else is causing the symptoms. Lyme disease co-infections generally result in more a severe illness, increased symptoms present, and a longer recovery period.

Q: Solving an equation that contain floor function Let suppose I have three positive integers $a, b,c$ and one unknown $x$ ($x$ is also a positive integer). Solve for the smallest $x$ that satisfies this equation
$$\left \lfloor\frac{x}{a} \right\rfloor + \left \lfloor \frac{x}{b} \right\rfloor \geq c$$
where $\lfloor x\rfloor$ is the floor function
For instance let $a = 1$, $b=1$ and $c=5$ in this case
$$\left \lfloor x \right\rfloor + \left \lfloor x \right\rfloor \geq 5$$
here the smallest $x$ is $3$.
For another case, if $a=3$ and $b=5$ and $c=4$ we obtain
$$\left \lfloor\frac{x}{3} \right\rfloor + \left \lfloor \frac{x}{5} \right\rfloor \geq 4$$
here the smallest $x$ is $9$
My question is, can we find the smallest $x$ exactly ?

A: Assume that $a,b,c$ are positive
.
Let $y=\frac{abc}{a+b}$. Then $$\frac{y}{a}+\frac{y}{b}=c.$$
Therefore $$\left \lfloor\frac{y}{a} \right\rfloor + \left \lfloor \frac{y}{b} \right\rfloor$$ will be either $c$ or $c-1$.
If it is $c$
Then $y$ is a solution. We will still have a solution when $y$ is increased, until $y$ becomes the next multiple of either $a$ or $b$.
If it is $c-1$
Then increase $y$ until it becomes the next multiple of either $a$ or $b$. This will be the solution $x$ unless it is a multiple of both $a$ and $b$ in which case there is no solution. Given that we have a solution $x$, then we can increase it as above until the next multiple of either $a$ or $b$ is reached.
Example
Solve $\left \lfloor\frac{x}{5} \right\rfloor + \left \lfloor \frac{x}{7} \right\rfloor=8.$
We obtain $y=70/3$ and then $\left \lfloor\frac{y}{5} \right\rfloor + \left \lfloor \frac{y}{7} \right\rfloor=7.$
As $y$ is increased, the next two multiples of $5$ or $7$ are $25$ and $28$. The solution is $$25\le x<28.$$
Is this the sort of practical answer you were looking for?
Summary
The solutions can be completely expressed in terms of how $\frac{abc}{a+b}$ fits between successive terms of the ordered sequence of elements of $aZ\bigcup bZ$.
A formula for the revised question
A formula for the minimal $x$ is obtained as in the above answer and can be expressed as follows.
If $\frac{abc}{a+b}$ is in $aZ\bigcup bZ$ then that is the minimal $x$.
Otherwise $x=$ min$ (a\left \lfloor\frac{bc}{a+b}\right\rfloor+a,b\left \lfloor\frac{ac}{a+b}\right\rfloor+b)$.


excellent appendix to the Therion Book.
duplicates what is in the source files.
My idea was to have a metapost file that inputs the therion macros i.e.
parameters such as scale, rotation, position etc.
However when I run this (mpost test.mp) I get many errors still.
! Improper `:=' will be changed to `='.
! Inconsistent equation (off by 1).
What might be the best way to do this that is useful to all of us?

Essential Dazzler Vol. 1
Contents: Uncanny X-Men #130 (February 1980) and #131 (March 1980); Amazing Spider-Man #203 (April 1980); and Dazzler #1 (March 1981) to #21 (November 1982)
Key Creator Credits: Chris Claremont, John Byrne, Tom DeFalco, John Romita, Jr., Frank Springer, Danny Fingeroth, and others
Key First Appearances: Alison Blaire/Dazzler, Blue Shield
Story Continues In: Essential Dazzler Vol. 2
Overview: Alison Blaire wants nothing more in her life than to sing. Whether it's for one person or 20,000, Alison wants to take to the stage and sing her heart out. What most people don't know is that Alison is a mutant, being able to absorb sound and transform it into light. All things considered, that's a pretty good mutant power to have if you want to be a performer. Taking the stage under the name Dazzler, Alison is ready for her time in the spotlight.
Unfortunately, trouble seems to find Dazzler wherever she goes. Whether it's the X-Men fighting the Hellfire Club or the Enchantress crashing an audition or Bruce Banner getting upset at a college campus where Dazzler is performing, she finds herself having to user her powers like a superhero, something she truly does not want to be.
In addition to our title character, we meet the members of her band, along with her agent and road manager. We also meet her father Carter Blaire, a lawyer who wants his daughter to follow his career path. Alison's missing mother was a singer, but disappeared when Alison was an infant. But like any good dangling plot thread, we eventually find Alison's mother at the conclusion of this volume.
Along the way, Dazzler crosses paths with many Marvel heroes. She meets She-Hulk in Los Angeles and Spider-Woman in San Francisco during a west coast tour. From the X-Men, the Angel develops a crush on her, and does everything he can to woo her over. And she gets the opportunity to jam with the Fantastic Four, with Johnny on guitar and Ben on sax. Seriously! I could not make this stuff up if I tried.
The Origins of Dazzler – The Story Behind the Story: In the late 1970s, Casablanca Records signed a deal to co-produce a character with Marvel Comics. Given the success of Marvel's KISS comics, the goal was to have a comic to go along with a new recording artist that would perform under the name Dazzler. The long-range goal was to develop a movie around Dazzler. Marvel came up with conceptual designs and scheduled appearances for Dazzler in three of their most popular titles – Uncanny X-Men, Amazing Spider-Man, and Fantastic Four. (Fantastic Four #217 is not reprinted in this issue, but it does show the first meeting between Dazzler and Johnny Storm.)
The plan was to release Dazzler #1 to coincide with the album release. But Casablanca dropped the project and never released the album. Marvel went ahead and finally released the title nearly a year after her last appearance, and the series ran for nearly five years. The first year was one guest star (or villain) after another, in an effort to build up the fan base for the title — Spider-Man, the Avengers, the Fantastic Four, the X-Men, Dr. Doom, the Hulk, and even Galactus!
What makes this Essential?: OK, we can make a lot of jokes about "Essential Dazzler" being an oxymoron. Trust me, I made a lot of the jokes myself early on. That said, this is an important book in terms of female Marvel characters. In the late 1970s, Marvel introduced four titles focused on female heroes – Spider-Woman, She-Hulk, Ms. Marvel, and Dazzler. The first three are just female analogs of their male counterparts. Dazzler was the only female character featured that was unique in her own right. Although these books were not the best sellers, Marvel remained committed to publishing the characters, long enough to warrant six Essential volumes from these four characters.
Need more convincing? Consider this thought — Dazzler was the first Marvel mutant character to have their own solo book. Before Wolverine and Gambit and Cable, Dazzler had her own monthly book. Dazzler! (And yes, while modern Marvel writers are trying to spin the narrative and make Namor the first mutant, I'm not buying that argument.)
Now, as much as I want to praise Dazzler as a character, Dazzler as a monthly comic was not that great. There are times when the story felt more like a romance book – does Alison want to date the ER doctor or her lawyer? And will she ever receive her father's blessing for her career choice? While the art is serviceable, there are too many panels showing Alison changing clothes. That may be appealing to the young male reader, but it's not necessary to show that scene in that panel to advance the story. EVER!
Footnotes: Uncanny X-Men #130 and #131 are also reprinted in Essential X-Men Vol. 2.
Amazing Spider-Man #203 is also reprinted in Essential Spider-Man Vol. 9.
If you like this volume, try: Stars and S.T.R.I.P.E. by Geoff Johns and Lee Moder from 1999. I know I am crossing the streams here between Marvel and DC, but hear me out. Courtney Whitmore's teenage life just gets worse and worse. Her mom has just remarried, and she now has a creepy stepbrother to deal with; her family has moved to small town Blue Valley; and then she finds out that her stepdad used to be a super-hero. Using a cosmic belt first developed by Starman and later used by the Star-Spangled Kid, Courtney becomes a modern day Star-Spangled Kid, fighting the surprising number of super-villains based in her small town. The series only ran for a little more than a year. Where I see the parallels with Dazzler is her post-title career. Using the new codename Stargirl, Courtney became a member of the reformed Justice Society, becoming a key member for many years. Her popularity led to Stargirl being used on the Justice League Unlimited cartoon, and she continues to thrive in the new DC 52 universe. Following her title cancellation, Dazzler ended up joining the X-Men, and became a key member throughout the 1990s. She still remains a member of one of the many X-Men teams today. The entire Stars and S.T.R.I.P.E. series is available in two trade paperbacks.

I happened upon this skirt some time ago in Monki and couldn't leave it behind- the print just called out to me.. but once home I'm having difficulty styling it for the cold weather, and this was the only plainish jumper I could think to pair it with.
My three day weekend went by too fast yet again, but I did enjoy a decent burger at Meat Liquor, watched three of four films (including Blue Valentine for the first time- totally didn't realise how depressing it was going to be. Thank goodness Mrs Doubtfire was on for some light relief after), did lots of food shopping and had an amazing roast yesterday, thanks to Michel Roux Jr for a tasty recipe. I love that man.
I watched Blue Valentine the other week - mainly for the GOD that is Ryan Gosling - I enjoyed it, but also found it so depressing!
I haven't seen Blue Valentine and I'm now I'm not sure if I want to... depressing films and I don't get along well. I love your skirt, the print is amazing.
yeah blue valentine is such a whimsical name, gives no indication to how awful you will feel after you watch it - it's so heartbreaking!
love this skirt and adore that ring. I have never been to a monki store but like their online shop, is the quality of clothes ok?
beautiful skirt! really suits you!
I love this skirt, I imagine it will look amazing if we ever get any sunshine!
Your ring is AWESOMEEEEEEEEEE. In case you didn't hear, AWESOMEEEEEEEEEEE. I need to get me one of those!
All my favorite colors are in that skirt! What a gorgeous print and you've perfectly styled it for winter I'd say! I'm glad you mentioned Blue Valentine - the hubs and I almost watch it on Netflix the other week - but then found something else and glad we did. I'm really not a fan of depressing movies like that.
You look so beautiful <3 This skirt is amazing !
love the daring print on your skirt, so cute!
I adore your skirt - the print is pretty fantastic!
Love that ring, it's absolutely gorgeous!
Lovely skirt :) I bet it'll be a doddle to style in summer!
Can definitely see why you had to have that skirt, it is an amazing pattern. Really love the ring too.
your hair and lips in this post are perfection!
Such a pretty skirt! I love Blue Valentine, although depressing it is such a good film.
Guapa siempre, mi querida Rachel.
Your blog has been accepted in Europe United Kingdom n°321 a minute!
Absolutely in love with your coat, it looks super cosy, could certainly do one like that with where I am right now!
I just came across your blog :)! I really like how you combine this grey sweater!And your hair looks great!
Your blog is really nice! Let me know if you wanna follow each other!
I love it when a clothing item just... speaks to you. I'm glad you knew you had to have it!

Design team revealed for Balerno learning hub
Loader Monteith and Sarah Jane Storrie have won the RIAS-run procurement process to design a new Learning Hub and Outdoor Centre at Harmeny School, Balerno.
The tender, which was let in August, saw Loader Monteith and Sarah Jane Storrie selected following a two-stage process.
The team also includes Harley Haddow for provision of structural, civil and services engineering, and principal CDM.
"We are absolutely thrilled to have been selected for this project." said Matt Loader, director of Loader Monteith Architects. "On reading the initial brief, we were incredibly moved by the work the school does to better children's lives.
"We had a clear idea at the outset about making a clearing in a glade, and using the setting as a joyful and uplifting environment for the delivery of the school's programme. We can't wait to start work."
Sarah Jane Storrie of Sarah Jane Storrie Architects said: "I am delighted to be collaborating with Loader Monteith and the wider team on a piece of architecture that will have such a positive impact on the invaluable work of Harmeny. I am really excited to work with the school to explore how we can create calm, inspiring and practical spaces to enhance their highly experiential teaching model."
Neil Squires, chief executive of Harmeny, added: "For the past sixty years Harmeny has helped children who have suffered early years trauma, through abuse, neglect and family disruption, to turn their lives around and realise their right to a safe and happy childhood.
"We have reached a pivotal time where we wish to offer even more young people the opportunity to benefit from our services, and to do this we need to improve our learning resources. We are excited about working with Loader Monteith, Sarah Jane Storrie and the team to help us build the facilities our children and young people in our community deserve to fully reach their potential."
The project is expected to be ready for planning early in 2020.
