Vintage Playboy Bunnies Photographed Years After Their First Cover (NSFW)
Miss June 1969: Helena Antanonaccio
"They thought I was too virginal, not sexy enough. But I got a job at the Playboy Club. I knew it was a stepping-stone to get into Playboy. Gosh, I didn't even go to bunny-training school. When you go to the Playboy mansion, you get a butler and a maid and you're driven around in a limo and somebody does your laundry. It's great."
Melissa Faithful for Art-Sheep
Since 1953 Playboy magazine has featured the most beautiful, sensual women in its scandalous pages.
In 1972 the magazine decided to publish its first full frontal image, with Marilyn Cole Lownes posing completely naked. Years after that, photographer Nadav Kander captured 6 women that have been featured in Playboy, including Marilyn Cole Lownes, for New York Magazine. Many former bunnies, now in their 60s, 70s or even 80s, later followed careers as actresses, models or entrepreneurs. Kander's Playboy models now feel nostalgic about the days when their pictures were travelling all over America and pose for the photographer.
Below you will find pictures of the ladies that stimulated thousands of men back in their Playboy days. Posing sensually and semi-clothed these ladies remain beautiful and erotic, while they reminisce about when they were the Playmate of the month.
Miss December 1975: Janice Lupo
"It's a photo of myself but I just don't feel like it's me somehow. I just can't explain it. I was very popular after that, that's for sure."
Miss February 1976: Laura Aldridge
"Most men weren't interested in what was in my head. I think they just wanted to get laid. I was a Playmate, and that would be a notch in their belt. My ex-husband might be the only person who didn't think Playboy was cool. He thought Hugh Hefner exploited women. When my oldest daughter, Lily, was 10, she found a Playboy in her dad's room, so I told her I was a Playmate. She asked if she could see it. Thirty minutes later I knocked on the door. She was watching TV. I said, "What do you think?" She said, "Oh, it's great." Both my daughters are supermodels—Lily is a Victoria's Secret Angel. They've done it with confidence and a feeling of entitlement."
Miss March 1954: Dolores Del Monte
"I thought, Who's going to see it, anyway? I'd only ever seen a calendar of a nude gal in an automotive shop. Later, I was notified that they wanted to use a photo of mine in a magazine, but I thought it was some other picture—I had worn a bathing suit that was cut all the way down past the navel. I'm so proud of that Playboy picture now."
Miss December 1979: Candace Jordan
"Feminists always say, 'I can't believe you're objectifying yourself.' And I would say, 'Do you think I was forced at gunpoint to do this centerfold? No, it was my free choice, and that's what women's lib is supposed to be about.'"
Miss January 1972: Marilyn Cole Lownes
"A big advantage of being a bunny girl was the fact that we had enough money in our purses to get on a plane if we felt like it. We could buy our own drinks at Trader Vic's and go to any club we wanted to and we did it all with our money, and that gave us a sense of power and liberation. We were all promiscuous. And we were all very much our own people."

Church conservation charity welcomes housing plan on vacant site in Northampton town centre
Peter Aiers, director of The Churches Conservation Trust, outside St Peter's Church
Callum Jones
Published: 07:27 Tuesday 07 July 2015
The director of a charity that helps to preserve St Peter's Church in Northampton town centre said he had no problem with 30 new houses being built on vacant land opposite the 12th century building.
Last week the Chronicle & Echo reported the news that Northamptonshire County Council was inviting architects to submit designs for a housing development on the site of the former Castle House in Marefair.
The vacant Castle House site where 30 houses could be built
The plan has been forcefully opposed by Marie Dickie, chair of Friends of Northampton Castle (FONC), who believes the county council has gone back on a promise to turn the vacant site into a heritage park.
However, Peter Aiers, a director of the Churches Conservation Trust which looks after St Peter's Church - situated opposite the Castle House site - said he would not be unhappy with a housing development along as it was designed "sympathetically" to the surrounding area.
He said: "We have lobbied the council that there should be something on the site that is either housing or commercial.
"There needs to be people and activity on the site. Although the plans need to be prepared with a great deal of creativity.
"The housing needs to be designed appropriately. If we don't like the plans then we will say so."
Mr Aiers said he believed there was still room for a heritage park on the site but believed the Castle House site wasn't the right place as the 'building line' of the street, which has existed for hundreds of years, needed to be maintained.

Free IKEA Alert, the King of Fake News Posts Speaks Out and Why Fungi Is the Future
By Core Jr - November 18, 2016
Mushrooms are the Future
As designers continue working to create dynamic change in society, they have simultaneously discovered that their work is bolstered by collaboration with science-focused colleagues. This video touches on the benefits of these partnerships in the realm of sustainability where mushrooms are now being engineered to not only replace energy-deficient leather materials, but also even basic building materials.
Free (!) IKEA & Uber Friendsgiving
Unfortunately, I'm headed to Philly for the weekend, so I'm sharing this secret in hopes I can live vicariously through some of you. IKEA and Uber have partnered to bring fans a free Friendsgiving when they call an Uber in NYC tomorrow—just enter a promo code in your Uber app, and you're in. If you don't have Uber yet, it's time to get with the 21st century. The sweet deal includes a full IKEA tableware package (modern or traditional themed) and a full dinner complete with a lot of cheese and meatballs. Take advantage my friends, take advantage.
Never Ending Election
Even though the election is over, stories about the election won't stop. We've heard a lot about fake news being spread around on social media and through searches. The Washington Post has an entertaining interview with Paul Horner, a 38-year old writer who is the king of fake news posts. According to Horner "I thought they'd fact-check it, and it'd make them look worse. I mean that's how this always works: Someone posts something I write, then they find out it's false, then they look like idiots."
—Stuart Constantine, publisher and managing partner
Cron Bo
The Fake News kings are not small independent writers. And it's not even this idiot who thinks he's so clever writing Fake News. No, the real Fake News comes from NYTimes, Washington Post, ABC, CBS, CNN, MSNBC, Fox and the rest of the lying corporate mainstream media. They have been exposed for decades as nothing but liars, whores for political favors and $, they will lie about anything. They are complicit in international coup d'etats and illegal wars causing the murder of millions. They lie to the US population from covering up 9/11 to covering as news the Fake mass shootings across the nation. If you don't believe it, ask yourself: Why did the District of Corruption and Obomber the Obozo sign into law the Smith-Mundt "Modernization" Act buried in the 2013 NDAA? If you don't know Smith Mundt, it was a law preventing the government from propagandizing its own citizens...
The fact is, the mainstream media has zero credibility, and those who continue to tune in, believe them and then go out and vote based on their "News," are being naive and foolish. The facts are available, if one only thinks for themselves and stops listening to the professional liars on TV.
Cameron Williams
What sources do you recommend for unbiased fact-based reporting?
Do you have any proof about mass shootings being staged that you could share? Hard to believe.
I didn't believe it either when I first started researching it; do your own sleuthing, keep digging, and you will begin to see the depth of the deception... Look up terms (on non-mainstream search engines like DuckDuckGo.com) such as "crisis actors," "Smith-Mundt modernization act," "false-flag shootings," etc... The rabbit hole is real, and deep...

A graúna-de-cabeça-amarela (Xanthocephalus xanthocephalus) é uma espécie de ave pertencente à família Icteridae nativa da América do Norte, ocorre desde o Canadá até o México. É o único membro do gênero Xanthocephalus.

Descrição
Medidas

 Comprimento: 21-26 cm
 Peso: 44-100 g
 Envergadura: 42-44 cm

As graúnas-de-cabeça-amarela são consideradas icterídeos relativamente grandes. Seu nome científico deriva da palavras gregas para amarelo, xanthous, e da palavra para cabeça, cephalus. Os adultos têm um bico pontiagudo. O macho adulto é principalmente preto com cabeça e peito amarelos; possuem uma mancha branca debaixo da asas visível apenas em vôo. A fêmea adulta é marrom com garganta e peito amarelos opacos. Os indivíduos imaturos de ambos os sexos são marrons com plumagem amarela mais opaca em comparação com os machos adultos. Os machos imaturos também têm algumas manchas brancas na asa. Se assemelham ao iratauá-pequeno da América do Sul.

Essas aves comem sementes durante a maior parte do ano e insetos durante os meses de verão. Forrageiam especialmente em alagados, nos campos ou no chão; às vezes pegam insetos em vôo. Os girassóis são um dos principais alimentos entre as graúnas-de-cabeça-amarela das Grandes Planícies do Norte, com um estudo indicando que os machos comem mais girassol do que grãos e as fêmeas mais grãos do que o girassol. Alguns métodos de coleta de alimentos envolvem virar pedras, pegar insetos do topo da água e forragear. Os métodos de forrageamento ocorrem em terras altas, com o bando tomando uma formação "rolante" em que as aves voam da parte de trás para a frente do bando para se alimentar. Indivíduos fêmeas alimentam os filhotes principalmente de insetos da ordem Odonata, que inclui as libélulas. Fora do período de nidificação, muitas vezes se alimentam em bandos, muitas vezes com espécies relacionadas.

Incidente
Os meios de comunicação informaram que em 7 de fevereiro de 2022; várias graúnas-de-cabeça-amarela migrando para Chihuahua, México, foram vistas caindo mortas no início da manhã.

Está sendo especulado pela mídia e testemunhas oculares, que os pássaros podem ter morrido após inalar fumaça tóxica de um aquecedor próximo ou por causa de uma sobrecarga de cabos elétricos, ou um rapinante predador os perseguindo.

O misterioso incidente já aconteceu antes, na cidade de Cuauhtémoc, no norte do México.

Q: How to keep odd/even elements left or right upon jQuery remove? I have this code:
CSS:
.wrapper{width:400px}
.wrapper div{width:200px}

.odd {float:left}
.even {float:right}

HTML:

Odd

Even

Odd

Even

Odd

Even

jQuery:
$('.wrapper').each(function() {
    var $children = $(this).children(),
    $item;
    $children.each(function(i) {
       $item = $(this).addClass(i % 2 === 0 ? 'odd' : 'even')
    });
});

Which works as you'd expect.
My question is, how can I keep the .odd elements left and the .even elements right when one is removed by jQuery .remove() ?
I've tried this, but it obviously doesn't work:
$('.wrapper div').click(function(){
  $(this).fadeOut(function(){
    $(this).siblings().removeClass('odd');
    $(this).siblings().removeClass('even');

        $('.wrapper').each(function() {
            var $children = $(this).children(),
            $item;
            $children.each(function(i) {
                $item = $(this)
                .addClass(i % 2 === 0 ? 'odd' : 'even')
            });
        });

    $(this).remove();
  });
});

Any suggestions really appreciated!

A: Try to use even and odd selectors. Updated: If you use position property, elements won't float over when others removed.
Here is working jsFiddle.
jQuery:
var boxHeight = $(".wrapper div").height();
$(".wrapper div:even").addClass("even");
$(".wrapper div:odd").addClass("odd");
//this initualise once after page load, so values won't change/update on click

$(".wrapper div").each(function(i){
    if ( i === 2 || i === 3 ) { $(this).css('top', boxHeight +'px'); }
    if ( i === 4 || i === 5 ) { $(this).css('top', 2*boxHeight +'px'); }
});

$(".wrapper div").click(function(){ $(this).remove(); });

css:
.wrapper{position:relative;left:0;top:0;}
    .wrapper div{position:absolute;top:0;}
        .wrapper .even{ left:0; }
        .wrapper .odd{ right:0; }

A: You could avoid javasscript and use the CSS nth-child
div.wrapper:nth-child(odd) {
    color: red;
    float:right;
}
div.wrapper:nth-child(even) {
    color:blue;
    float:left;
}

Survey: What business travelers prefer
Employees on company dime practical and health-conscious
A survey of business travelers by travel and expense management software provider Certify reveals what travelers prefer and includes some surprises about the way those travelers behave while on the road.
The Certify 2015 "What Business Travelers Prefer" survey revealed that when traveling, almost half of the more than 495 employees polled said they spend the company's money as if it were their own.
"They choose vendors based on availability of service and lifestyle factors and they also make purchases based on value, as if the expense came out of their own pockets," Robert Neveu, CEO of Certify, said.
Overall, 46 percent of those surveyed said their top criterion is value. Nearly 31 percent said convenience was most important, while almost 20 percent said they "watch every penny" when on the road.
When it comes to air travel, more than 40 percent said they primarily choose their carrier based on the needs of their schedule, while almost 27 percent said price was the primary driver. Only about 17 percent said company policy or preference was the determining factor.
The survey also showed a disconnect when comparing the airlines judged to have the friendliest service to those flown the most. Far and away, Southwest Airlines (NYSE:LUV) was named the friendliest; more than 40 percent of respondents said so. Delta Air Lines (NYSE:DAL) came in a distant second with about 20 percent naming the Atlanta-headquartered carrier the friendliest. While named separately in the voting, merger partners American (NYSE:AAL) and US Airways earned a total of almost 18 percent of the votes in the category.
However, friendliness did not appear to be the primary driver. Despite the preferences expressed, American/US Airways were flown the most, by more than 27 percent of respondents with Delta getting a bit more than 24 percent of the passengers and Southwest getting a little less than 24 percent. The remaining 24 percent was split between carriers including United Airlines (NYSE:UAL), jetBlue (NYSE:JBLU) and Alaska Airlines (NYSE:ALK).
Once on the ground, the largest group of travelers said they preferred rental cars; more than 41 percent would prefer to drive themselves. Nearly 27 percent would choose either a licensed taxi or a limo or private car, almost 25 percent would prefer a hotel shuttle while slightly more than 7 percent would choose a rideshare like Uber, Lyft or others.
Perhaps surprisingly, that result runs counter to a report issued by Certify earlier this year. The Certify SpendSmart report for the first quarter of 2015 uncovered that, during 1Q15, an average 46 percent of all total paid car rides were through Uber, compared with 15 percent during the same period in 2014. Paid rides using vehicles in the taxicab category, which includes limousines and shuttles, dropped from an average of 85 percent in 1Q14 to an average 53 percent of paid car receipts in 1Q15.
When it comes to eating on the road, nearly 40 percent of travelers said they stick to the same diet as they do at home while 35 percent admitted to eating and drinking "a little better than usual." Slightly more than 14 percent rely on convenience or fast food, while about 8 percent said they skip meals because they are too busy when traveling. The category of business meals also contained some good news for CFOs, comptrollers and accountants: Fewer than 3 percent of respondents said they splurge on food and drink while on the road.
Business travelers largely agree that Panera Bread (NYSE:PNRA) offers the healthiest dining options, with more than 47 percent giving that chain the nod. More than 27 percent voted for Chipotle Mexican Grill (NYSE:CMG) and almost 20 percent chose "other". Not surprisingly, McDonald's (NYSE:MCD) and Starbucks (NYSE:SBUX) each garnered only abut 3 percent of the "healthy dining" vote. Regardless, Starbucks has been the most expensed restaurant across all meal categories for two years running, according to Certify SpendSmart data.
When it comes to where travelers lay their head at night, the most important factor for business travel is proximity to the client or meeting (54 percent) followed by quality accommodations (20 percent), room rate (11 percent) and rewards program (8 percent). Less than 1 percent of travelers choose a hotel based on its proximity to the airport.
The survey also sought to understand the travelers' top priorities after the trip is over. Upon returning home from a trip, employees are most concerned about catching up on email (27 percent), followed by catching up with family (24 percent) and tracking down receipts and submitting expenses (17 percent)
Certify collected data for its comprehensive survey using responses from more than 495 business travelers with wide ranging job titles and responsibilities. Participants included a 50-50 split of men and women representing small to large companies nationwide. Most of those travelers (63 percent) took two to four trips per year while 22 percent took from five to nine trips annually, and 15 percent took ten or more trips per year.
The 2015 Business Traveler Preferences study was administered using a third-party online research management firm and all analysis was conducted by Certify, LLC.

Europe Political & Social Issues
No One's Talking About Brexit
Alexander Pask
Alexander is a die-hard political advocate, having loved everything about politics since a young age. He currently resides in the UK.
Image credit: (Mick Baker)rooster via Flickr
Britain has been through a lot in recent months. First, they had a prime minister leadership race, then a general election, then a leadership battle for the Labour party. And now, Brexit is just over 24 hours away (as I'm writing this). Yet, absolutely no one is talking about. Not the media, not Britain, and certainly not Europe!
Brexit is supposed to be happening tomorrow. So far, we have heard almost nothing, not even a murmur to see if the EU are willing to extend the Brexit deadline past the 31st of January.
Why Is No One Talking About Brexit?
For many, myself included, it seems as though Brexit, one of the most polarizing issues of our time in the UK, is now being swept under the rug, so to say. There are many reasons that people have put forward to explain the lack of Brexit on our TVs and radios, but I'm skeptical of most, if not all of them.
We Don't Want to Hear About It
There's an old adage that goes something like "Seeing is believing." The same can be said for this! The government and media alike do not want us to hear about Brexit, because they know full well what the outcome will be: civil war. And no one, and I mean no one, likes a civil war. It just gets so messy.
This is because, for those who don't know much about the Brexit election itself, the vote was heavily skewed. Whilst most of England (minus places such as London), voted to leave, many of the other realms inside the kingdom (yes, 'realms' is the correct term for those of you who didn't know), voted to stay, especially Northern Ireland and Scotland.
You know what? Brexit isn't going to kill everyone. But the coronavirus might. Everyone, the government and media alike, is so focused on the coronavirus, that Brexit has just left everyone's mind.
Some may claim that it is a mixture. The media is focusing on the coronavirus so much because they don't want to talk about Brexit and the possibilities that come as a result of it. So a scary 'super plague' may be the best way to divert people's attention. Although it is likely to simply be that the coronavirus is seen as more deadly and impactful than Brexit, many would disagree with that.
The Uncertainty
Brexit is basically a synonym at this point for uncertainty. We don't necessarily know the conventions of a post-Brexit Britain. Most people can't tell you how long the transition period is (no, we are not in it already, unless you are reading this post-Brexit.) Most people can't tell you what they'll need to go on a simple day trip to France, most people can't tell you what they'll need to do before Brexit happens, such as registering for certain things if you work abroad or are from abroad, etc.
Article 50 was only placed there as a convention to allow members to believe that they could leave the EU once they joined. No one, not even years after they signed the article into law thought that someone would try it. There were just no conventions put in place that dictated it. Most people didn't even think it was possible for a country to leave the EU.
Passing Other Laws
For the longest time, Brexit has been used by the media to cover up the passing of other laws- the media is so fixated on Brexit, that it forgot how to report on other laws.
Between 2016 and now, there have been thousands, literally thousands of articles published about secret laws that have been passed, that 20 years ago, would've been smack bang on the front page of every newspaper in the world, let alone the UK.
But now, the roles have reversed. People are so fixated on other issues, mainly the coronavirus, that they have neglected Brexit. It's often said that the media is the people's slave, and the media only reports on those things that it believes the people will listen to.
So, instead of Brexit for once, which many people are getting sick and tired of at the moment due to three years of constant bombardment, they are focusing on something else. Usually, this is the latest scandal coming out of the White House, but now, this is seemingly the coronavirus.
It Seems Like People Don't Care
No, I have not just wasted a few minutes of your life to tell you that people do care about Brexit. That is simply not true.
We would expect that this close to arguably the biggest political decision the UK has made since 1945, we would see more of Brexit. We'd see the news rack on about it, no end. We'd see every newspaper banging on about it, no end. But we haven't.
Yes, we've seen a few articles from various newspapers, but not nearly enough. And besides, most of these articles are talking about the last-ditch efforts MPs can take to stop Brexit once and for all, or at least to delay it by a few months.

'Science Fair' review: These high school kids can restore your faith in the future of humanity
By Kenneth Turan
"Science Fair" follows teens through the highs and lows of the world's largest pre-college science competition. (National Geographic Documentary)
Even in a year of extraordinary documentaries like "RBG," "Won't You Be My Neighbor" and "Three Identical Strangers," "Science Fair" is something special.
Winner of audience awards at both Sundance and South by Southwest (not an easy accomplishment), this infectious and exuberant film wins you over by focusing on the enthusiasm and enviable good spirits of the smart and engaging young people who compete in "the Olympics of science fairs."
If you want to increase your faith in the future of humanity and have a rollicking good time doing it, there is no better place to go.
Crisply directed by Cristina Costantini and Darren Foster, "Science Fair" focuses on the 2017 Los Angeles-hosted edition of the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair, familiarly known as ISEF.
In existence since 1942, ISEF presently attracts roughly 7 million initial competitors who duke it out in 425 qualifying fairs around the world.
This group is winnowed down to 1,700 high school student finalists from close to 80 countries, competing in 22 categories but all hoping they walk off with the coveted Gordon E. Moore award for the best project.
Costantini knows this world intimately – she is a former competitor who placed fourth in her category as a high school freshman – and the film's insider sensibility benefits from her knowledge.
Costantini and Foster, who first worked together on "Death by Fentanyl," a much darker and very different documentary on the opioid crisis, turn out to have impeccable instincts for the intimate and the warmly comic that gives this film the best kind of human moments.
That is very much the case with the footage that opens the movie, showing then 15-year-old Jack Andraka screaming, crying and in general having an out-of-body experience when he wins the 2012 Gordon E. Moore award.
Interviewed by the filmmakers today, a much calmer Andraka underlines that "winning will change your life in ways you don't even comprehend."
Completely in the spirit of 2002's "Spellbound," "Science Fair" proper begins with on-location introductions to the competitors we will be following, motivated young people determined to make the world a safer and better place.
Visited first is Louisville's duPont Manual High School, a perennial hotbed of ISEF competitors, where we're introduced to Anjali, as formidably self-possessed and articulate a 14-year-old as you are likely to meet with a project that tests for arsenic levels in drinking water.
When Anjali says, "I know how to communicate ideas, that's why I'm successful," she is no more than telling the truth. Even the rare setback does not faze her but merely underlines the important truth that "I'm just a person."
Much more of a fish out of water is Kashfia, a slight, hajib-wearing teenager at Brookings High in Brookings, S.D., a school with three gyms and a weight training room but no laboratory.
Very conscious of having to be "extra nice and unharmful" as one of the rare Muslims in her community, Kashfia has found an unlikely mentor in the school's head football coach, who accurately observes that "inside her there is a lion, she's really ferocious about what she wants to do in life."
[Most read] Kobe Bryant's remains ID'd through fingerprints as NTSB releases new video, says chopper was in 'steep descent at high speed' before crash »
Not fitting in for very different reasons is 17-year-old Robbie in West Virginia. Uninterested in school work to the point that he almost failed algebra (his teacher provides the amusing details), Robbie has a gift for machine learning and creativity and has programmed a computer to rap like Kanye West.
Not a contestant but a key player in the film is Dr. Serena McCalla, the faculty advisor for ISEF powerhouse Jericho High in Jericho, N.Y., a school that qualified a remarkable nine students for the fair. Smart and super-focused, McCalla means it when she says, "I'm going to be so proud when one of my kids wins the Nobel Prize , because one of them will."
After introducing these folks, "Science Fair" follows them to the 2017 ISEF fair, tagging along as they socialize – "the better you are at science fair, the worse you are at dancing," one competitor says – and present their projects.
Winning at ISEF is guaranteed to change lives, but what's clear is that just participating does as well. "If you're there just to win prizes," Robbie astutely points out, "you're missing the best part."

This has been a recurrent issue. Due to the location of the parked vehicle one could only conclude the driver works for the police department since this had happened repeatedly and never once ticketed. Parking like this is illegal for a reason.
Also known as 15 Ramsey Place. This house has been under re-hab for way too long. It's a rat trap and an eyesore. So much so the house at 11 next door never got sold after an investor bought it fixed it up and put it on the market. The current owner is rarely there working.
curb cut so disabled and mothers with strollers can cross into the park never done. now crosswalk markings peeling off.
The tenants of 580 myrtle dragged a couch into the street and left it there.
The traffic signal at the intersection of State Street and Willet Street was removed about year to a year and half ago. A stop sign was placed on the right hand side of the road on the corner of the park. Since this has happened the rush hour traffic through this intersection is filled with horns due to no one yielding or taking turns at the intersection. For 45 minutes to an hour, daily, horns and yelling can be heard down the entire block. I've also witnessed reckless driving by some motorists trying to squeeze by vehicles. In addition, during non-rush hour times, I've witnessed dozens of cars running the stop sign, either because they can't see it, or choose to ignore it. I've almost been struck by speeders missing the sign several times, and I've witnessed my neighbors almost be struck. I'm sure the reason for the traffic signals removal was reasonable at the time, but I hope it can be reconsidered. It doesn't have to be a cycle of red/yellow/green, just a flashing red to let drivers know their approaching an intersection would be great. Thank you for your consideration.
This was first reported last winter and the only action since has been to spray paint the raised portion with a fluorescent paint to improve visibility; however the paint has long since washed away and the result remains a hazard. This is the third time I have reported this dangerous tripping hazard.
Motor home has been parked on Zoar Avenue for over two weeks. Snow is coming and the size of it will inhibit plows from driving down the street.

Q: Retrieve two values from the same row using a single select statement Why can't I retrieve two values from different fields but same row?
If I write this, it works perfectly.
String sql = "SELECT * FROM soal ORDER BY RAND() LIMIT 1";
ResultSet rs = st.executeQuery(sql);
String question = rs.getString("questions");

But after I add this
String hint = rs.getString("hint_questions");

It won't work.
NOTE: I need two Strings, question, and hint from the same row and class for different purpose. So I have to use single select query SQL so that value from question and hint is related (from the same row).

A: You can try Either of the solution:
String var = rs.getString(1);
through index

Or
String var = rs.getString("column_name");
through column name


Earlier today, it became official – starting next season the Rangers AHL team will no longer be called the Connecticut Whale but will instead revert back to being the Hartford Wolfpack.
It's birthday week! No really, it is. We have one more after this one.
Today everyone's favorite rookie turns 22. And what a season it has been. Last year at this time we were discussing if he should be playing in the playoffs or not. After that run, fans assumed he would lead the Calder race whenever this season began. Instead, he had a back and forth season making his rookie season a forgettable one.
But we're not here to talk about the bad so let's remember the good, shall we?
Of those four postseasons, the Rangers and Caps have met three times (inlcuding this year) in the first round. As I'm sure everyone knows, the Caps won the first two series in seven and five games. Last year, meeting in the second round, the Rangers finally defeated their foes in seven games. So expect the series to go for a while. I will probably change my mind after watching game 1 (which we still don't know when is) but I'm taking the Rangers in six. Yes I know the Caps are playing well right now but I think the Rangers can beat them. I just hope we don't have to go through game three and five of last years' series again.
It wasn't a good weekend for the Whale as they lost both of their games in regulation to the Albany Devils on Friday and Portland Pirates on Saturday by scores of 3-2 and 5-1. Kris Newbury and Christian Thomas had the goals against the Devils with Marek Hrivik getting the loan goal against the Pirates.
In the mess of games and playoff implications all week, I've slacked off in writing about news regarding players in the Rangers organization not currently in New York. While all of this is probably known, it's been a busy week in Rangers-land.
On Wednesday, the Whale signed defenseman Charlie Dodero and forward Michael Kantor to Amateur Tryout (ATO) agreements. Both players had played for the Sudbury Wolves of the OHL this season and are from Illinois (more Americans in the system!).
Dodero had 7 goals (highest for defensemen in Sudbury this season) plus 20 assists and 97 penalty minutes in 67 regular season games plus one goal, two assists and 18 penalty minutes in nine playoff games. Kantor had 20 goals and 13 assists along with 93 penalty minutes in 56 regular season games plus 2 goals, 2 assists and 12 penalty minutes in nine playoff games. Sounds like two bruisers for the Whale's playoff run although neither played in the Whale's game last night.
It was announced this morning that Brian Boyle would be out indefinitely with a "lower body injury". It is believed to be a right knee issue. Out indefinitely probably isn't good news but he has been seen around the training center the past two days and did walk out of the arena after the game Tuesday night on his own so fingers crossed it's nothing serious.
In his place, the Rangers recalled Chris Kreider. My initial reaction? Pretty sure you all know what it was. We'll see what happens but if Boyle is okay in a couple of days and he gets sent back down, I give up. I just think at this point he needs to be in one place and stay there. Maybe this isn't a temporary injury, though, so they wanted to bring someone up they knew could adjust quickly. Either way, he better not be on the fourth line tonight.
In other news, Derek Dorsett has been skating the past two days (he got to do the infamous training camp drills today) but still can't take contact. It sounds like he's on track though so hopefully he will be ready in the next week or two. Marc Staal has also been skating, with contact, even though he can't see completely out of his injured eye. For now, I'm not touching that but needless to say I don't get it. I want Staal back but if he can't see, keep him off the ice. But I guess he and the doctors know something I don't. You can read about what he's going through (just typing it worries me) and all today's other news here thanks to Andrew Gross (who is a must follow for Rangers fans, if I haven't implied that already).
The Whale entered the home stretch to the playoffs this weekend with their last 3-in-3 of the regular season, all games coming on the road. On Friday morning, they had a playoff spot. By Sunday night, they were clinging so tightly to it as this was definitely a weekend the boys would like to forget.
Friday night the Whale were in Manchester for a match-up with the Monarchs. The game started well as Chris Kreider scored a beautiful power play goal late in the first period with assists to Benn Ferriero and Kris Newbury. Unfortunately that would be all the Whale could muster as the Monarchs scored three unanswered goals (Weal, Pearson and an empty-netter to Kozun) over the last forty minutes to take the 3-1 victory.


Blockchain continues to be widely promoted as a panacea set to revolutionize the internet, cut out all manner of middle-men and lead us to a new, simpler, safer world.
In the minds of most everyday folks (at least, those who are aware of it at all), it remains closely tied to Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, while even those who have heard about its wider applications tend to consider it super-secure by default.
Confused about vulnerability testing and penetration tests and Red teams? I'm not surprised one bit.

FDA expands approval of Merck's Keytruda to lung cancer
Deena Beasley, Natalie Grover
(Reuters) - The U.S. Food and Drug Administration on Friday approved Merck & Co Inc's immunotherapy, Keytruda, for patients with the most common form of lung cancer whose tumors produce a specific biological marker.
A view of the Merck & Co. campus in Linden, New Jersey March 9, 2009, after Merck & Co Inc said it would acquire Schering-Plough Corp in $41.1 billion deal, widening Merck's pipeline and diversifying its portfolio of medicines. REUTERS/Jeff Zelevansky
The FDA approval for Keytruda in advanced non-small cell lung cancer is for patients whose tumors express PD-L1, a protein targeted by the drug, and includes a companion diagnostic, made by a unit of Agilent Technologies Inc, to measure those protein levels. A Merck spokeswoman said clinical trials found that 22 percent of patients with this type of cancer had PD-L1 scores of at least 50 percent.
"The restricted label is generally in line with expectations and is likely to broaden over time as data from additional trials support Keytruda's efficacy in a larger patient population," JP Morgan analyst Chris Schott said in a research note.
The FDA decision "has the potential to transform the way that lung cancer is treated," Dr. Edward Garon, associate clinical professor at the University of California, Los Angeles and a lead investigator on Keytruda clinical trials, said in a statement.
Merck said the price of Keytruda for health insurers and other payers is around $12,500 per month, or $150,000 a year.
Keytruda and another similar treatment from Bristol-Myers Squibb Co called Opdivo are antibodies designed to block the interaction between PD-L1 and another protein, PD-1, whose natural function is to put checks on the immune system. By blocking the interaction, the drugs aim to enable the patient's own immune system to attack the cancer.
Wall Street analysts expect cancer immunotherapies to earn combined annual sales of over $20 billion by 2020.
Bristol's Opdivo is approved by the FDA to treat melanoma as well as squamous non-small cell lung cancer, a smaller subset of the disease, but without a requirement for protein testing.
Keytruda, now approved for both squamous and non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer, is also approved to treat patients with advanced melanoma. (1.usa.gov/1P9wW3p)
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths in the United States with an estimated 221,000 new cases diagnosed and 158,000 deaths this year, according to the National Cancer Institute.
Shares of Merck rose 1.6 percent, or 77 cents, to close at $50.14 Friday on the New York Stock Exchange, while shares of Bristol-Myers rose 3.6 percent, or $2.18, to close at $62.23.

"Break out the butter, I'm gonna make toast!"
— Dingodile, Crash Bandicoot 3: Warped
While flamethrowers mostly fell out of service around the time of the Vietnam War due to being inefficient, heavy and dangerous to their operator and those around him (and not, as some claim, because they are against any rules of war), being superseded by incendiary and later thermobaric rocket and grenade launchers, there is no denying their cool (or rather, hot) factor and their place in history, as well as currently being the only real-life man-portable Energy Weapons.

Flammenwerfer M.16/Wechselapparat M1917
Top: Flammenwerfer M.16, Bottom: Wechselapparat M1917
The first flamethrower to ever be used in combat, the Flammenwerfer M.16, also known as the Grossflammenwerfer (Grof) M.16, was developed by German engineer Richard Fiedler based on the earlier Grof M.12 and Kleinflammenwerfer M.15, and was used during World War I by Austrian and German forces, most notably at Verdun in 1915 and the Meuse-Argonne Offensive in 1918. It was typically operated by two people, though a smaller, lighter variant of the weapon, the Kleinflammenwerfer (Kleif) M.16, was also designed for one-man portable use and used by German Pionier and Stosstrupp squads for rapid advances. It fires oil out of a metal hose from the tank at a high pressure and then ignites it with a hydrogen torch.
In 1917, a lightweight, modified variant of the M.16 known as the Wechselapparat M1917 ("Exchange Apparatus"), or Wex for short, was introduced, and replaced the earlier M.16 in service with the German Army. It is distinguished by it's unique ring-shaped fuel tank holding twelve liters of fire oil and a spherical compressed air tank in the middle of the ring. The ignition of of the flame jet was carried out automatically with a small gas flame, and could fire either in ten flame surges to a max of 30 meters range or fire three bursts up to 100 meters. It saw good use with the German Army in 1917/18, and was used by the Finnish military in the 1920's. The Germans were supposed to destroy all their flamethrowers after the First World War, but most were used by German Freikorps, and the Wex was later updated into the Model 40 flamethrower in the Second World War, though it didn't see much use due to being rather fragile. The British also made their own flamethrower based on the Wex, the No. 2 Portable Flamethrower, which was used by the British and Canadian militaries in World War II.
The Wex is added to Verdun with the Horrors of War DLC as the only flamethrower in the game, usable by the German Pioneer Squad.
The M.16 appears in Battlefield 1918, used by the Imperial German and Austro-Hungarian forces in several maps, and the Wex appears in Battlefield 1, usable in multiplayer by picking up the randomly spawning "Flame Trooper Kit" weapon crates, and has infinite ammo, deals high damage and causes players hit by it to scream in pain, but has a very short range. In singleplayer, it is unusable by the player, but is used by German flame troopers, and their fuel tank can be shot, causing the flame trooper to get set alight by ignited fuel and explode.
The M.16 appears in NecroVisioN: Lost Company used by enemies, but is unusable by the player.
The Kleif is used by a German trooper in The Red Baron.
Several German troops use the M.16 in The Lost Battalion.

Flammenwerfer 35/41
Top: Flammenwerfer 35, Bottom: Flammenwefer 41
Developed in 1935, the Flammenwerfer 35 was a one-man German flamethrower used during World War II to clear out trenches and buildings, and could project fuel up to 25 meters from the user. It weighed 35.8 kilograms (79 lb), and held 11.8 liters (2.6 imp gal; 3.1 US gal) of Flammöl 19, a mixture of petrol and tar to make it heavier and to give it better range. The fuel is ignited by a hydrogen torch which provides about 10 seconds of continuous use, and the firing device is activated at the same time with the Selbstschlussventil and is inside the protective pipe of the weapon. With a 25 to 30 m long fire beam that lasted for 10 seconds, up to 15 salvages could be fired. In 1941, the lighter, slightly redesigned Flammenwerfer 41 replaced it and became the standard flamethrower of the Wehrmacht. The Flammenwerfer 41 was more reliable and easier to operate than the 35, had a longer range at 32 metres (105 ft), and a lighter weight at 28.7 kilograms (63 lb), though held less fuel than the 35 at 7 liters. However, the hydrogen torch lighting mechanism proved to be a problem when fighting against the Soviets in the winter of 1941, being unable to cope with the cold weather conditions, and so the Flammenwerfer 41 was improved into the Flammenwerfer mit Strahlpatrone 41, which used a much more reliable cartridge-based firing system with 10 ignition cartridges and further decreased the weight of the weapon to 18 kg at the cost of some slight range (30 meters instead of 32). The weapon was so effective psychologically and against well entrenched enemy troops that flamethrower troops were often targeted by enemy troops first, and so the weapon was often dressed to look like a standard infantry rifle in an attempt to disguise operators. In addition to its use by the Wehrmacht, the weapon was also exported and was handed over to civilian departments such as the police and fire brigades.
If a German is using a flamethrower in a World War 2 movie or game, it will usually be this one, typically acting as an Evil Counterpart to the M2 Flamethrower.
The Flammenwerfer 35 is added to the Call of Duty: United Offensive expansion pack of the original Call of Duty, occasionally used by German troops in the Russian levels. It can be picked up, but is fairly useless due to having next to no ammunition on pickup and no iron sights. It appears in German hands in the Soviet campaign set in Stalingrad and Berlin in Call of Duty: World at War, albeit reusing the world model of the M2 Flamethrower and is unusable. It is returning as a usable weapon in Call of Duty: WWII.
The Flammenwerfer 35 appears in Wolfenstein (2009), used by Drachen (Dragon) Troops. It can be collected from them and used, and can be upgraded to hold more fuel and produce hotter flame for increased damage. A preorder bonus allowed for players to collect it during the first mission, though you can't purchase upgrades or find more fuel for it until the point where you're supposed to get it normally.
The German Pionier squad in Company of Heroes 2 can be equipped with Flammenwerfer 35s.
The Flammenwerfer 41 appears in Day of Infamy as the weapon of choice for the German flamethrower class, and one of the two flamethrowers available to the Germans, the other being the lesser-known Einstossflammenwerfer 46. It holds 500 "ammo" and can light up the surroundings with its flames, but adds a fuel tank to the back of your character, which, if shot, leads to fuel leakage and possibly blowing up and killing you.
The Fury's flamethrower in Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater is a customized Flammenwerfer 41 that is modified to fire rocket fuel instead of the normal Flammöl 19.
In Yozakura Quartet, one of the objects that Kotone is able to conjure up with her powers is a Flammenwerfer 35.
M2 Flamethrower
Easily the most recognizable model of flamethrower, the M2 Flamethrower is an American flamethrower that was developed to replace the horribly unreliable M1 and M1A1 Flamethrowers that were in use with the US Military. It was produced in early 1944, and proved to be a far, far better weapon than the M1 and M1A1 Flamethrowers ever were, even being considered arguably the best flamethrower in WWII. It weighed 43 lb (19.5 kg) empty and 68 lb (30.8 kg) filled, held 2 gallons of fuel, and the weapon featured a constant-pressure regulator to ensure that the range stayed the same from the first to the last shot of a tank of fuel, an on/off main valve easily accessible to the operator, a supremely waterproof and reliable pyrotechnic cartridge ignition system, an auto-shutoff valve which sealed at the nozzle, preventing dribble (and cutting off fuel flow should the operator lose control of the weapon), and napalm as fuel as opposed to the petrol and tar mixtures of most other flamethrowers in the war. Even though its burn time was only around 7 seconds and the flame was only effective out to around 20–40 meters, it was extremely effective in the Pacific Theater, and would still see use afterwards in the Korean and Vietnam Wars, being upgraded to the M2A1-2 in Korea with straight sided backpack frames, vented gas caps, a cylinder sized regulator and a safety valve, and the M2A1-7 in Vietnam, which lacks the back handle of earlier models. It would later be replaced in US service by the M9 Flamethrower in Vietnam, but was exported to and saw further use with several US allies, including Australia, Brazil, the Republic of China, Japan (where it would be later replaced by a upgraded domestic flamethrower based on it), the Philippines, Indonesia and Malaysia.
If a US soldier or Marine is using a flamethrower in a WWII movie or game, it will usually be this one.
Sgt. Ben Patterson wields a slightly modified M2 Flamethrower in Them! while in the ants' nest.
Childs and MacReady use M2A1-7 Flamethrowers in The Thing (1982), the flamethrowers being the only thing really effective again the Thing.
The M2 Flamethrower is used by Colonel Braddock in Missing in Action 2: The Beginning.
The M2 Flamethrower appears as a usable weapon in Return to Castle Wolfenstein, used by German troops after the third Chapter. While ammo can be hard to find for it, it is extremely powerful, dealing fire damage over time and quickly reducing most human enemies to cinders. In the multiplayer, both factions use it. It returns in Enemy Territory.
The Flamethrower in Commandos 2: Men of Courage and 3: Destination Berlin is an M2. Only Inferno can use it in 2 and the Sapper in 3. It is very powerful, but finding ammo for it can be problematic and any inventory carried by any soldier it's used on is rendered useless.
The Flamer in Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas is heavily based on the M2.
The M2 Flamethrower appears in Call of Duty: World at War, used by US Marines in the Pacific levels in Campaign. It is Miller's starting weapon in "Burn 'Em Out" and "Blowtorch and Corkscrew", and there is an achievement/trophy called Firestarter for beating a level using only it, melee and explosives. In multiplayer, it is unlocked at the final level, 65, as an equipment perk. It has infinite ammo in both single and multiplayer and deals a ton of damage, but can overheat (Faster in multiplayer than singleplayer) and has limited range.
The M2 Flamethrower can be used during the Uroboros Mkono boss in Resident Evil 5 to stun him and reveal his weak points, though the flamethrower itself can not kill him and needs to be placed on a recharging station on the wall once the fuel is used up, taking a while to refuel.
The Flame Troops in Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater use the M2 Flamethrower, despite the game taking place in Russia and the existence of several, more appropriate Russian flamethrowers. If you call Sigint, he explains that they had procured the flamethrowers from American forces for study purposes. It is unusable in singleplayer, but can be picked up and used in Metal Gear Online, where it has infinite ammo.
Appears in Windtalkers, used by Harrigan to clear out Japanese bunkers and knock out enemy tanks.
Used by US Marines in Letters from Iwo Jima and Flags of Our Fathers, particularly during the beach landings, in order to clear out Japanese pillboxes.
Used to horrifying effect in Rising Storm. The range is fairly short (20 metres) and the recoil is high (if fairly easy to compensate for), but the massive stream of near- One-Hit Kill flames gives the weapon incomparable close-quarters power. It's limited to 1-3 slots per 60+ player servers, and M2 users manage to be both high-priority targets AND prone to causing friendly fire.
An M2 Flamethrower is available use for a short time in the final mission of L.A. Noire, and appears in the hands of Allied troops in the WWII flashbacks.
In Batman: Arkham Asylum, an M2 Flamethrower said to belong to the villain Firefly can be found in the Medical Facility.
M9A1-7 Flamethrower
"Flamethrower, 4.7-gallon fuel Canister, M9A1-7. Fires jets of flaming napalm up to 30 meters. Holds around 7 seconds of fuel"
— Weapon description, Rising Storm 2: Vietnam
Developed in the 1960s as the successor to the aging M2 Flamethrower, the M9 Flamethrower was lighter and easier to carry than its predecessor while still retaining the same range and firing duration. Variants included the M9-7, which introduced a new wand design, and the M9A1-7, which introduced further improvements to the design. This model would see service alongside the older M2 during The Vietnam War, until both were withdrawn in 1978 and subsequently replaced by the M202 FLASH rocket launcher.
In Rising Storm 2: Vietnam, the M9A1-7 variant is given to US and Australian Combat Engineers as an optional loadout. Compared to its predecessor, the M2 found in the original Rising Storm, this model is much lighter, allowing players using them to sprint farther and faster, while also having slightly more fuel capacity as well.
An M9-7 is used by one of the Sky Devils in Kong: Skull Island against the Skullcrawlers.
One is used by Carrie Fisher's character in The Blues Brothers in an attempted assassination against them.
The titular character in Machete Kills triggers an M9 to explode in one scene.
The M9 Flamethrower is added to the Vietnam expansion of Battlefield: Bad Company 2. It holds 100 rounds with 200 in reserve, and lacks a reload animation, the rounds being instantly loaded when you hit the reload button. It causes enemies to scream in pain when hit by it in addition to doing heavy damage, and obscures their screen with fire.

Specialisation of SharedPtr to allow SharedPtr to be assigned to TexturePtr.

Note:

Has to be a subclass since we need operator=. We could templatise this instead of repeating per Resource subclass, except to do so requires a form VC6 does not support i.e. ResourceSubclassPtr<T> : public SharedPtr<T>

The Jonas Brothers recently reconnected professionally, and the band is officially back together. With that, they've been on everyone's minds lately; for a while, they all flew under the radar. But now that they're getting more attention, people are noticing some of the funny things they do in their spare time — and fans had hilarious reactions to the group dancing on a boat at sunset.
The Jo Bros have come back in a big way. After taking about six years off from making music together, the trio reunited with their newest single "Sucker," and it's been a major hit. After the band split up in 2013, Joe and Nick Jonas pursued solo careers, while Kevin Jonas started a family with wife Danielle. All three of the brothers went in different directions but ultimately decided they were at their best when they were making music together. Now, all those pre-teens that adored them a few years back can finally swoon over them once again.
Although Nick Jonas never lost his fame, Joe and Kevin did fall off the radar a bit. Kevin decided to lay low and focus on his family, while Joe did see some fame with his band DNCE. However, neither brother had the successful career that Nick Jonas had. But now that they're on everyone's minds again, and they've kept fans entertained with some funny videos — including a recent one of them dancing at sunset on a boat. The boys are smoking cigars and soaking up every ounce of life in a new video, where they're dancing to Kacey Musgraves' "Golden Hour" while the sun sets in the distance. Fans thought it was adorable — but had the most hilarious responses.
The video was posted on Twitter, and fans didn't disappoint with their clever and funny responses. Joe Jonas originally sent out the tweet, and the replies started almost immediately. "My last 3 brain cells studying for a test at 4 am," one user wrote. People also couldn't help but pick on Nick Jonas' all-green outfit. "NICK WHY THAT OUTFIT" one user replied. "Why does Nicholas look like he's on the green team at the Disney Channel games?" another user wrote. Some fans even picked on Frankie a bit for being left out of the video. But he was probably still invited to hang out on the boat, right?
Why does Nicholas look like he's on the green team at the Disney Channel games??
Kacey Musgraves, who wrote and sung the song the brothers were dancing too, also caught wind of the tweet. "Wow basically precisely what the record was created for..dancing on your boat at sunset with light choreo and cigars..well done," Musgraves replied. The Jonas Brothers are definitely having fun with their fame, and everyone on Twitter is here for it.
