What's the weather like in Mahon in January?
Mahon is a vibrant city in Menorca that's filled with winding streets and ancient architecture that helps give the city a relaxing and romantic atmosphere. It's a great destination for a holiday with the family or as a couple and since Mahon is very quiet in January, you'll get to explore it all at a much more peaceful pace.
January is one of the coldest months of the year, but since Mahon is located on the east coast of Menorca, the city is still soaked in the beautiful Mediterranean sunshine. It's also very dry in January, which means there's a good chance you won't experience any rain showers during your time away.
Mahon experiences an average daily temperature of 14°C, which makes Mahon weather in January the coldest of the entire year. However, don't let this put you off as you'll still get to enjoy the lovely Spanish sunshine for nine hours each day. Rain showers become more frequent in January, but they're usually brief and spread over 13 days of the month. The average rainfall is around 46mm with wind speeds of up to 16mph.


Weekdays (Sunday through Thursday) 8 a.m. – 10 p.m.

Q: React when useState change react-complex-tree not rerender codesandbox link

*

*I am using react-complex-tree to show my XML in tree format. I want to add button called ExpandAllTree
const [expandedItems,setExpandedItems] = useState([]);
I am holding my tree Items here
const traverseXml = (treeData, xmlObject) => {
    treeData[xmlObject.name] = {
        index: xmlObject.name,
        canMove: false,
        hasChildren: !!xmlObject.children.length,
        children: xmlObject.children.map(c => c.name),
        data: !xmlObject.children.length ? `${xmlObject.name}: ${xmlObject.value}` : xmlObject.name,
        canRename: false
    };

    if (!xmlObject.children.isEmpty) {
        xmlObject.children.forEach(c => {
            setExpandedItems(oldArray => [...oldArray,xmlObject.name]);
            traverseXml(treeData, c);
        });
    }
};

this code piece does travel all XML and create a data for react-complex-tree and also gets all Id's of tree element with
setExpandedItems(oldArray => [...oldArray,xmlObject.name]);

This part works perfect.
useEffect(() => {
    setExpandedItems([]);
    traverseXml(firstTreeData, DocumentXml);
    traverseXml(secondTreeData, AppHdrXml);
    }, [treeOpen]);

const handleOpenClick = () => {
    setTreeOpen(!treeOpen);
}

whenever a button hits it should rerender. But It is not rendering. when I check the logs on first time page open
expandedItems is empty like an expected when I press the button expandedItems to get all tree IDs like expected again but in frontend nothings changes.
<UncontrolledTreeEnvironment
                    canDragAndDrop={true}
                    canDropOnItemWithChildren={true}
                    canReorderItems={true}
                    dataProvider={new StaticTreeDataProvider(secondTreeData, (item, data) => ({...item, data}))}
                    getItemTitle={item => item.data}
                    viewState={{
                        ['Apphdr']: {
                            expandedItems:expandedItems
                        },
                    }}
                >
                    <Tree treeId={"Apphdr"} rootItem={"AppHdr"}/>
                </UncontrolledTreeEnvironment>

And there is no mistake on data type with expandedItems because when I give data manually which expandedItems gets,  Tree shows as expanded.

A: When you changed to ControlledTreeEnviroment and set items like
items={firstTreeData}

Tree start to rerender

In 1832 my ancestral grandfather, John Ridgeway, married Ann McGee in Peoria, Illinois. Supposedly, she came up with her daddy, Jesse McGee from Ohio. I know little about Ann before she married John Ridgeway and want to find out who her parents were, where she was born, what year and if she had siblings? I am getting hints that she and her daddy were whole or part Indian reservation in Ohio.
If you have any information, please let me know.

Battling the bottle
kendrab | April 14, 2014 | Features | No Comments
Courtney Wengerd – Social Media Editor
Approximately 50 billion bottles of water are consumed per year in the United States. Roughly 38 billion of those plastic water bottles end up in a landfill according to the campaign Ban The Bottle.
Some of these trashed bottles can be traced back to Hesston College.
For the year so far, food service manager Melissa Unruh said 840 bottles of water have been purchased for carry out meals and snacks for sports teams. With 300 students, that's under three bottles of water per person according to Unruh.
Some Hesston College students and faculty are more avid drinkers of bottled water than others, like sophomore Mason Davis. Davis said he purchases enough bottles of water to drink at least one per basketball practice.
"I prefer to drink bottled water when I can because it tastes better than tap water," said Davis.
In addition, Davis finds bottled water more accessible and convenient.
Other students and faculty have alternate solutions to bottled water. Randy Toews, campus facilities worker, coordinates recycling around campus and recognizes the impact of bottled water on the environment.
"There are many other more sustainable options we could choose from- refillable bottles, mugs, or just using a drinking fountain," said Toews.
Freshman Megan Baumgartner does just that, carrying her reusable Nalgene water bottle wherever she goes. She also takes a more economical view on bottled water.
"Why would you pay for water when it's free?" said Baumgartner.
It's clear not every person enjoys drinking water straight from the tap or carrying around a reusable
bottle. It's also clear the popular consumption of bottled water results in damaging our environment, a point Hesston College's Campus Stewardship Council wants to bring to their attention.
The CS C, a group devoted to developing sustainable facilities and practices, has discussed possible solutions, according to member Paul Regier, instructor of natural science.
"One idea we had last year was to give each student a quality portable mug or bottle at the beginning of the year, then eliminate water bottles in vending machines," said Regier.
Beyond Hesston College students and faculty, a new solution is on the rise that results not from thinking outside the box, but from within.
The emerging company Boxed Water is Better markets water in a box, similar to a quart sized milk carton. Boxed Water claims to be safer for the environment while giving back. According to the company's website, about 76 percent of the container is from trees, a renewable resource. Plastic bottles, on the other hand, are made of oil.
The packaging of Boxed Water is also environmentally friendly.
"We ship our boxes flat to our filler which is significantly more efficient compared to shipping empty plastic or glass bottles to be filled," said founder Benjamin Gott on the company's site.
The company gives back to the environment by donating 20 percent of its profits towards water relief and reforestation foundations.
But is the box's bold message, "Boxed Water is Better," really a true statement?
Marelby Mosquera, Hesston College chemistry instructor, said Boxed Water was a great solution. She said while the cost may be higher than regular bottled water, the boxes are more sustainable than accumulating and attempting to recycle the plastic.
"It seems like a sustainable alternative in terms of reducing carbon footprint," said Mosquera.

Davido Featured In Coming To America Part 2

Davido Featured In Coming To America Part 2. Nigeria's most celebrated act and recent winner of 3 Music African Act of the year award; Davido has been featured in America's 2021 best comedy film "Coming 2 America".
Like most artists, they get their songs played in the movie without being seen in it. But in the case of Davido, he did a live performance in the movie….. Not playing any other role apart from what he is good at, singing.
He sang his song "Assurance" to usher the lost but found Crown Prince of Zamunda and his bride "Prince Lavelle and Princess Mirembe" unto the altar to be joined in union. Following the drama, Eddie Murphy known for playing many characters along side Arsenio Hall in the Coming To America movie, he did another live performance in the name of Randy Watson singing America's favorite "Sexual Chocolate". I believe Davido is the first to raise the bar to be featured in an American movie to perform his own song in the movie.
ABOUT THE MOVIE: Coming 2 America
Coming 2 America is a 2021 American comedy film that serves as a sequel to the 1988 film Coming to America starring Eddie Murphy. The film is directed by Craig Brewer from a screenplay by Kenya Barris, Barry W. Blaustein, and David Sheffield, and a story by Blaustein, Sheffield, and Justin Kanew, based on characters created by Murphy.[4] It stars Murphy, Arsenio Hall, Jermaine Fowler, Leslie Jones, Tracy Morgan, KiKi Layne, Shari Headley, Teyana Taylor, Wesley Snipes, and James Earl Jones.
Originally to be theatrically released by Paramount Pictures, the film's distribution rights were sold to Amazon Studios because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Amazon released it digitally via Prime Video on March 4, 2021. Coming 2 America received mixed reviews from critics.
ABOUT THE MAIN CHARACTERS: Eddie Murphy and Arsenio Hall
The hilarious Brooklyn-born Eddie Murphy was writing and performing his own material by the age of 15. He did shows at his high school, youth centers, and local bars. Eventually, he got the chance to perform at The Comic Strip in Manhattan and was finally cast on Saturday Night Live in 1975. The comedian is famous for many roles in movies such as Trading Places, Beverly Hills Cop, Harlem Nights, Boomerang, The Distinguished Gentleman, Vampire in Brooklyn, The Nutty Professor, Doctor Dolittle, Life, Bowfinger, Shrek, Daddy Daycare, Dreamgirls, Norbit, and Meet Dave.
Arsenio Hall, who plays Semmi, Akeem's servant, is most famously known for his late night talk show, "The Arsenio Hall Show" during the early 90's. Though most of his accomplishments include television appearances like "The Real Ghostbusters" in 1987, and voices on shows like "Scooby Doo," he has also been featured in movies such as Harlem Nights.

North America's Outspoken Source of Thought Provoking Opinion.
Politics Movies Justice Health Environment Sports Business Entertainment Celebs World Living
By Steven James
(SNN) - I have always been wrong; I'm male, a first born Son, English, an employee, a writer, and married, so I've had a lot of practice. In fact, I've gotten so used to it, every time an idea passes through my mind, I warn myself that I'm wrong before I say anything: So, Ok, I'm wrong, but did any of the veterans of foreign wars that more and more of us are forgetting every year (You can tell by the amount of Poppies being worn.), see the kind of world that they freed up for us? I mean, I may be wrong, but how come we have become accustomed to a world where:
An American Football player who is the size of three stacked Smart Cars quits the game because he is being bullied to the point that he can no longer earn his multi-million salary. Now it appears that not only did the team know about it, they may have started the bully on his path. By the way, these people wear helmets and pads for a living.
A Mayor of one of North America's largest cities has admitted illegal narcotic use while making decisions in office, and used alcohol abuse as an excuse. He has been seen by Millions threatening someone with physical violence, and is twice the size of a pro. Football player (bullied). The discussion now on the table is if he should step down and go to rehab. Isn't the answer 'yes' more obvious than a pair of 'normal' thighs in a pair of Lululemons?
A programmer that has found a good way to keep track of a cheating spouse's online and phone conversations is named as one of the Globe's top criminals – by a government that has just been found guilty of doing exactly the same thing to every Head of State worthy of a UN seat, plus Royalty, heads of global churches, and all of its citizens. Hello…kettle? Meet pot.
In a Western society when we have all grown up with the patently obvious statement that everyone is worth the same pay-packet regardless of gender, and the outlandish fight that has gone with that statement for the last fifty years, Pop Culture (it's childish, remember?) still maintains that to be a 'Diva', and to be a heroine to teenage girls, you have to dress like a mentally deranged nymphomaniac, and act like a graduate from the Madonna school of sluttishness. It is freedom, apparently. Meanwhile rape and abuse figures go up, as more and more girls dress and act like their idols. There is a connection here that is closer than Canadian Government scientists and unemployment.
A national Government that ran, and was elected, on a platform of helping all citizens turns a blind eye to a foreign Government entering their country through a corporate entity, and employing their own workers because they cost less and don't add to the profit and loss of their host country. This immediately inhibits not only Canada's workers, but Trade Union deals, and places their own citizens on state-sponsored unemployment instead of adding to the Country's good on multiple levels. These, by the way are the same people that demanded that unelected Senators 'repay the favour' of being placed into their position by talking up the Government during various TV events, didn't reimburse them for their expenses, then allowed them to be fired without defence, leaving them more naked and alone than the Philippines during a typhoon.
A social media company is floated at a value of over $30 Billion, while it has never turned a profit, and it's only avenue of making profit has been proved by its predecessors to be the one thing that makes its followers leave in droves, and for it to enjoy popularity that is marginally less than an Arabian dictator's.
I could go on. We all could. This planet has been heading downstairs to the guy with the horns ever since I can remember with the speed of a burning Tesla. Of course, My Parents thought this when the Beatles came out, and their parents probably tut-tutted at the rise of the Glenn Miller Orchestra, but they weren't living in a world where Sport is big business, political optics mean nothing, singing heroines are pimping out their audience, corporate planning only means promise, not track record, and countries are farmed out to others for what is under their soil. Or am I wrong?

Q: Wordpress post content not showing I have a wordpress blog hosted on IIS. Everything was working fine until I moved the blog from a subdomain to a subfolder.
I left the blog at the same physical location and created a virtual directory.
Now the backend seems to be working just fine. I can edit posts and everything.
In the blog itself I can see the main list of posts with the preview of the post content, but when I click to enter the post, only the title is displayed.
I don't know much about PHP (.net for me) and I don't really know where to start.
I tried switching themes and got the same results.
Thank you!

A: Are you using any cache plugin ? If so then go for deactivating this plugin like w3 total cache and then again update the URL's of wordpress blog. Hope that it will help you

The Bears are back in town
Passing mention online led me to discover the existence of a new local motorcycle speedway team, the Redcar Bears, who will have their first match next month. This brings me great joy.
As previously mentioned in passing, I used to be a fan of the speedway team based in Middlesbrough. The name varied over the years; they were the Middlesbrough Tigers when I first knew them, but more usually they were the Middlesbrough Bears. (From 1968 to 1972, they were even the Teesside Teessiders, which is almost impossibly lame.) Speedway races consist of four riders on brakeless motorcycles racing around an oval track made of hardened mud chips, power-sliding around the corners. Speedway matches consist of two teams of seven riders each contributing two racers to each of fifteen races, with points scored according to the riders' finishing positions in each race. The sport has waxed and waned in popularity throughout the developed world over the years, but Eastern Europe and Scandinavia are traditionally very keen.
Speedway had a history in Middlesbrough of continuous operation from 1968 to 1996 and can be traced back to 1928. Most speedway stadiums shared, or share, infrastructure with greyhound racing tracks, the motorcycle track typically being laid inside the dog track, with a wire fence separating the two. The school next to Middlesbrough's greyhound track made an offer to the track owners for the land that they could not refuse, so they sold up and the track was demolished. There have been occasional mentions of ventures to return speedway to the area, but I thought none would ever come to fruition. Speedway combines the thrill of domestic inter-town competition with motorsport action, with the added bonus that you can easily follow all the action from your seat. You can't really imagine the equivalent of football leagues for racing cars!
Looking back at the definitive history site and piecing back the team lists I can remember, I must have been to see a couple of matches in 1985 and followed the team heavily in 1986, less heavily in 1987. I think Dad was keen to encourage my interest in a team sport, but was glad that I avoided the excesses of football crowds drunk on a Saturday. Certainly the grounds always felt safe for even an 11-year-old kid running around (a little!) on his own; there was a bar selling beer, but the fact that the Thursday evening meetings were on a school night, plus the crowds were only around a thousand, kept things friendly. I enjoyed following the team but school pressures meant I had no time to attend matches after that. However, I did attend the team's final match in 1996.
Anyway, there were occasional rumours of a return over the years, but I never thought anything would come to fruition. A new track is being built at a local motor sports park where I once spent a day go-karting. The area east of Middlesbrough is rather a sprawling industrial conurbation; the new location's postal address says it's in South Bank, Middlesbrough, but in fact the centre is next to council buildings owned by the Langbaurgh Redcar and Cleveland Unitary Authority. Accordingly, the team are now no longer branded Middlesbrough but Redcar, despite being much closer to the centre of Middlesbrough than Redcar. I don't imagine this will put would-be attendees from Middlesbrough off; it may draw in potential attendees from Redcar, not least because this will be by far the highest-profile sporting team, in any sport, bearing the name Redcar.
The new team is built around one Gary Havelock, who was a hot new prospect bursting onto the scene when I first attended. In 1992 he won the world championship; his career has been on a gentle coast ever since then. He will be racing at a level far inferior to what he's been comfortable with for the past 15 years or so and will clearly be the single best rider in the division; however, not having to travel hundreds of miles (or thousands - he has ridden for Swedish and Polish teams in the past, too!) to get to the home venue must be a large part of the appeal. It also helps that his father Brian (himself a rider in the '70s) is managing the team this year. Extremely promising!
The first meeting will be on April 13th - two days after Meg reaches Middlesbrough, so unless she has a hidden passion for motorbikes of which I am completely unaware, I'll have far better things to do - as spectacular as the races can be, it's not something I would drag Meg out to on an off-chance. There is a projected capacity of 2,900, but it's all standing for the time being; crowd facilities are set to follow. (There's a car park for 500 vehicles in the motor sports centre, too.) Admission fees are set to be £11. When I was a kid I think I had to pay around £2.80, with adult fees being more like £4.50; as a rule of thumb, prices in the UK have roughly doubled since 20 years ago, so £11 isn't too bad. Compare how much football match admission fees have gone up over the same time.
(Incidentally, other rules of thumb are that UK prices have roughly gone up 50% since 15 years ago and by a factor of five compared to 30 years ago. We've had really good control of inflation recently.)
You can see this season's fixtures on the official Gary Havelock site; the official site will probably eventually be here, but this looks like a pretty good forum already. Unfortunately, like the web forum for the 2004 World Puzzle Championships, it seems enthusiastic at changing even slightly phallic words to "thingy", which is problematic when two of Middlesbrough's finest ever riders were Steve Wilcock and Martin "Dicko" Dixon. Solutions renaming them Wilc0ck and D1cko are a rare practical use for 1337sp34k.
As I'll be missing the first match, it'll be interesting to see whether I take an interest or not, but it looks like a distinct possibility for free Thursday evenings - perhaps I could go to the big home derby against local rivals Newcastle Diamonds on May 4th? Watch this space!
Unrelatedly, male-ish British-ish Harry Potter fannish types should check out this casting call for Fiction Alley's proposed radio play production of copperbadge's fanfic, with further stories to follow down the line. Auditions are open to all via the medium of the answerphone recorded message, but I could probably cast the entire, though admittedly small, cast just from my Friends list. OK, so I know a lot of people with natural advantages in the accent department, being British, male and approximately the correct age for the fic in question; the main problem is that you're all so very nicely spoken!
Anyway, I've spoken my piece down the line and hope to hear one way or the other in a couple of weeks, even if only from some fandom equivalent of Simon Cowell. (Not a dig; I don't know who the audition judges are!) I did the obvious things (practice, stand while you're auditioning, try to keep it loud and slow, then practice some more) and I reckon it came out OK. That said, when I wasn't reading the set text, the rest of my voicemail was subject to answerphone-habitual stupidmessageitis. Oh well. If I get even a small role, it should be fun!

How do I master the critical reasoning topic for the SBI PO exam?
Level of reasoning questions which are asked in banking exams is different from those asked in other competitive exams. Not only the difficulty level of the questions which are asked in banking exams is higher but the pattern of questions also keeps changing, at least from the past three years. The Level of questions that are asked in SBI PO exams is higher than any other banking exams. So, it is important to master this section in order to score well in SBI PO prelims exam.
We have provided the topics which are most commonly asked in reasoning section and some tips and guidelines to tackle/solve them.
(i) Scan the puzzle to search for an entity (person etc.) that is most repeated in the puzzle and start solving the puzzle taking that entity as the reference point.
Q. Eight persons viz. A, B, C, D, E, F, G, and H are sitting around a circular table facing towards the center. F is an immediate neighbor of A and C. E sits third to the right of C. D sits Q. Eight persons viz. A, B, C, D, E, F, G, and H are sitting around a circular table facing towards the center. F is an immediate neighbor of A and C. E sits third to the right of C. D sits second to the left of F. G is sitting second to the right of H. E is sitting opposite to F. to the left of F. G is sitting second to the right of H. E is sitting opposite to F.
Sol. Since F is the most repeated entity in the puzzle, we will start by arranging F first.
(ii) It is important to code the given information effectively and write it on your solution sheet in order to avoid re-reading the sentences.
(iii) Even if there is no limitation to the number of rough sheets you can use, it is important to write all the information given in the question in one particular space within your field of view.
(iv) Make sure you try all the possible cases as there might be more than one solutions to a particular question.
(v) Even if you are not able to obtain the complete solution/figure. Make sure you go through all the questions as there may be one or two questions which you can answer even with an incomplete solution/figure.
(vi) While solving a lengthy puzzle, you have to shift your eyes back and forth between the computer screen and your solution sheet. Due to that sometime you might end up searching for the sentence where you left and end up re-reading or skipping one or two sentences in the process which can lead you to an incomplete solution. To counter this problem, you can use the cursor of your mouse to scroll through the computer screen and stop it at the end of a particular sentence which you have already read.
Until a few years ago, these questions involved determining the code of a particular word by canceling out the common words. But recently, the makers have made a variation in the pattern in order to increase the difficulty level. In the new pattern of questions, there will not be any common words. The same logic is applied to code all the words and we have to find that logic in order to answer the question.
For example, "gradeup skills" is coded as- "7#K 19@H". By close observation, we can see that the numerical part of the code represents the place value (in the alphabetical series) of the first letter of the word. (G-7, S-19) and the last letter of the code represents the reverse (A-Z, B-Y, C-X….) of the last letter of the word.
It will be very helpful to solve such questions if you memorize the place value and the reverse of each alphabet of the series.
This is one of the easiest topics in reasoning if you know some rules. It involves determining a relationship between different entities using a Venn diagram. Make sure you prepare for the new pattern questions like reverse syllogisms or finding the conclusion which logically does not follow etc.
In reverse syllogism, we are required to find a set of statements which satisfy the given set of conclusions. In these questions, you can save time by eliminating options.
Q. Conclusions. Some bats are cats. No rat is ant.
(a) Some bats are pigs, some pigs are rats, some cats are rats, all the rats are cows, some cows are ants.
(b) Some bats are cats, all the cats are pigs, come pigs are cows, no cow is ant, all the rats are cows. Since one of the conclusions involves the use of a negation and there are no negations used in option (a), we can eliminate that option.
Also, one of the easiest topics, mathematical symbols (<, >, = etc.) are used to represent and determine the relationship between two or more entities.
Note: When there is no relationship between two elements and the two conclusions provided are mutually exhaustive, there will be either or case between the two conclusions.
For example, If it is given that A < B > C, then either A ≥ B or A < B is true.
In these questions, we have to choose the statements which are sufficient to answer the question. You need not waste your time in arriving at the final solution.
These questions involve a person or an object moving in two-dimensional space and following different spatial directions. It is important that you draw a correct diagram as most of the candidates get confused between left and right or east and west.
In these questions, we have to determine the relationship between family members. It is important that you develop a particular symbol of your choice and convenience to represent the male, female, married couples, brother-sister etc.
In these questions, a machine rearranges a set of word/number in a particular order in each step using a particular logic. We have to find out that particular logic by looking at the steps of the output.
Tip: Using initials instead of the whole word while writing the steps of the given input arrangement will save your time.
You can also determine the logic by looking at the first and last element of each step because in most of the cases words/numbers are arranged at the ends(leftmost/rightmost) in each step.
While solving puzzles, it is important to read the sentences carefully, a slight error in reading will lead you to many wrong answers and you will end up losing more marks due to negative marking.
While attempting reasoning section during the examination, you should start with those questions which are independent/less time-consuming like inequalities, syllogisms etc. For example, attempting a puzzle, in the beginning, may cause panic, if you took too much time or if you were unable to find the solution.
Be it reasoning or math, the most important thing that you need to do in order to master a subject in practice. With practice, you will be able to develop your own shortcut methods and tricks to solve a particular question.

THE APOSTLE, Written and directed by Robert Duvall. With Robert Duvall, Farrah Fawcett, Miranda Richardson, Todd Allen, John Beasley, June Carter Cash, Walter Goggins, Billy Joe Shaver, Billy Bob Thornton, Rick Dial, Mary Lynette Braxton, Zelma Loyd and Sister Jewell Jernigan. An October Films release.
A scene at the beginning of Robert Duvall's astonishingly accomplished second feature, The Apostle, is one of the most haunting and ambiguous of the past year's films. Driving with his mom (a spectral June Carter Cash) along a West Texas bi-way, Sonny Dewey (Duvall) pulls over at the site of a multi-car accident. Good Book in tow, he sneaks past the police to a wreck deep in a field and proceeds to save the souls of the grievously injured couple within. Vanity, exploitation, compassion, and the ecstasy of redemption vie for dominance of the moment until a deputy drags Sonny away. "I guess you think you accomplished something in there," the lawman asks. "I'd rather die today and go to Heaven," Sonny announces, "than live to be a hundred and go to Hell."
Sonny, though, does not get off so easily. Self-described as "on the Devil's hit list and on Jesus's mailing list," he's leaning these days to the former. A drinker, spouse abuser, and womanizer (traits unexplicitly but poignantly suggested), he's on the outs with wife Jessie (Farrah Fawcett, one of the film's few casting misfires). She takes up with younger minister Horace (Todd Allen), seeks a divorce, separates Sonny from his two children ("my beauties"), and wrests ownership of his church from him. Bereft of all he loves and moved by less than holy spirits, Sonny beats Horace "like a one-legged stepchild" (one of the film's many gems of dialogue), then has to hit the road and try to be born again for real.
Through chance and divine intervention he ends up in the Louisiana backwater of Bayou Boutte, his name changed to the enigmatic "the Apostle E.F.," and Duvall's story becomes an alternately genial and irreverent Christian allegory in a setting that's part Forrest Gump, part Flannery O'Connor. Told in an offhand, naturalistic style (Duvall credits as influence British socialist filmmaker Ken Loach, who has unfortunately opted for a more formulaic approach in his upcoming Carla's Song), the film proceeds languidly, sparked by sly disclosures and inversions of expectations characteristic of Duvall's subtle, subversive humor.
The laidback narrative sets the stage for the film's fire and brimstone and often hilarious performances. Duvall seems both possessed and ironically beside himself as he surges through his role. In a prelapsarian montage he's shown on tour sharing the pulpit with various multicultural colleagues. Pumped up, jerking about with a panache combining James Brown and Richard Nixon, he takes center stage at every venue. He's upstaged only once, when his high-stepping "stomping for Jesus" is mirrored by a frenzied latina translator with comically surreal effect.
The Apostle gets down to serious business once ensconced in Bayou Boutte, however, where E.F. sets forth to build a new church. Taking on the abandoned parish of a local minister, the kindly, ailing Charles Blackwell (John Beasley), E.F. refurbishes a boardgame-piece-like chapel (attaching a neon sign reading "One Way Road to Heaven" in the shape of an unabashedly phallic upturned arrow) and pieces together a following with a rinky-dink bus and paid-for spots on the local radio station.
Plying his trade on the airwaves, he attracts the coy eye of Toosie (Miranda Richardson in Susan Sarandon mode) and the callow worship of Sam (a slackjawed Walter Goggins), two disciples who prove more schematic than redemptive. More substantive is the radio station's owner, Elmo (Rick Dial), a good-natured, slovenly skeptic who provides the whispered play-by-play behind an unexpected on-the-air conversion. It's the occasion of the flourishing flock's first picnic, which is threatened by redneck troublemaker Billy Bob Thornton's bulldozer. Like the car-wreck conversion, the scene is a masterpiece of changing tones, ranging from the farcical to the beatific; it's enough to touch Elmo's flabby, good-old-boy heart and even move cynical listeners.
This apostle, though, dwells not in the New Testament but in Duvall's lovingly if unevenly re-created real world. Sonny's past won't let the reborn E.F. alone, and the nagging conflict is awkwardly handled through surreptitious phone calls and creaky plot devices. No matter -- E.F.'s church is a triumphant achievement, a joyous kindergarten of adults and children of various ages and races extolling their faith and joy and acknowledging their frailties and strengths (the congregation, played mostly by local amateurs, ranks among the most vivid in recent films) in a ragged hymn of praise. However shortlived it all may be, as E.F. reflects toward the end, he has accomplished something -- as has, indeed, his creator.
While in Boston last fall playing a ruthless lawyer battling John Travolta in the locally shot Class Action, Robert Duvall found time to chat about The Apostle, a film that he wrote and directed and in which he plays a member of another maligned profession -- pentecostal preachers.
"From the days of Gone with the Wind they've gotten a caricature treatment from mainstream entertainment," says Duvall of the intolerant, repressed, hypocritical, corrupt image these men and women of God have taken on from the media and movies. "The only time I ever saw it done right was a cameo played by Ned Beatty in Wise Blood. True, some of these guys are a bit too vocal about being judgmental and it'll come back to haunt them. Like that guy Jimmy Swaggart -- I mean, come on. But I think they all basically want to do good. Sometimes the ones that get on television are seduced by nouveau riche-ness and everything goes out the window. But when you get in the rank and file with these people, black and white both, there are some wonderful people."
It was in the rank-and-file of fundamentalism that Duvall first was inspired to make The Apostle.
"Way back I was doing an Off Broadway play and I played a guy from Arkansas, so I thought I'd just stop off in that area, just to see what it was like. I bumped into a bunch of roadworkers from northern Louisiana and I went to one of their little churches round the corner. It was my first visit; I'd never seen that on television or on a movie or anything, these kind of guys, these preachers. I figured it would be interesting to play one someday, so I put it in the back of my mind."
Way back, apparently. It would be more than a dozen years before Duvall invested $5 million of his own money to make the film. This was money well spent: the film, and in particular Duvall's acting, has been critically hailed; he's been voted best actor by the National and Boston Societies of Film Critics and is a dark horse for an Oscar nomination. Part of the electricity of his performance is in his preaching scenes -- he indeed seems to be channeling the Spirit.
"The character could be a mechanic, he could be any guy, his profession is secondary," Duvall demurs. "But the fact that it's this profession, it makes it different, so you have to do a lot of homework. So it is a different experience. But I think that the overall acting is about the same. After a couple of takes you know when it's right, the director knows when it's right, and you're kind of on the same wavelength.
"On the other hand, though, I was in a church in Harlem once where we went to six services in one morning, and I sat up there in the chorus with members of the Metropolitan Opera. They sang one of their songs and during the course of that singing I really had quite an emotional experience. It could have been interpreted as a complete thing if I had wanted to, if I had gone that way. But I didn't; I'm not of that persuasion."
Moving from the sacred to the profane, second-time director Duvall (his first film was Angelo, My Love, in 1983) was bemused to hear that sometime actor Quentin Tarantino would be reprising Duvall's old stage role of the killer in Wait Until Dark (the show gets a pre-Broadway run at the Shubert Theatre next month).
"Is he an actor, too? He's a talented guy. And he might be good in that part. I did it on Broadway, but I did it so long ago. He'd probably be better at it now. He won't have to wear a mask; he's pretty scary as it is."

Be grateful for the high-quality education you are receiving and never stop learning!
Grit, high emotional intelligence, self-control, vision and being brave.
I have always been fascinated by the idea of teaching, having been raised by parents who are educators. Research is the ultimate way to express my academic creativity and my ideas. Teaching is a special experience that involves inspiring interactions. My goal as a teacher is to create an interesting, yet challenging, learning environment that will be memorable for my students through work imbued with my passion for economics.
My teaching experience began as a graduate student instructor at The University of Texas at Austin, where I designed and taught my own courses while I was pursuing a Ph.D. degree. Only two students were chosen for this task out of 140 economics graduate students.
I believe that the role of an educator is to help students explore the relationship between theory and practice, or what many call the "real world." I rely on research-based teaching, instructive technology and experiential learning in order to achieve this teaching goal. I love teaching!

Gratitude means thankfulness, counting your blessings, noticing simple pleasures, and acknowledging everything that you receive. It's a conscious awareness of how much we've been given. Gratitude shifts our focus from what our life lacks to the abundance that is already present.
Behavioral and psychological research has shown that giving thanks makes people happier and more resilient, it strengthens relationships, it improves health, and it reduces stress. Isn't that enough reason to practice gratitude?
What can we do to practice gratitude?
How can we appreciate and learn from the difficult times in our lives?
Gratitude can help you put things into perspective, especially during difficult times. When things don't go your way, remember that every difficulty carries within it the opportunity for an equal or greater benefit. When facing challenges, think : "What's good about this?", "What can I learn from this?", and "How can I benefit from this?" See how your perspective can change.
My husband, my best friend and my rock, who loves and supports me & always has my back.
My family for their unconditional love and support.
My friends for their trust, honesty, and keeping me in line when I get a little crazy ;) You all inspire me and make me want to always be and do my best!
My 3 dogs who are always happy to see me. They're the best cuddlers around.
My health and my ability to run marathons, which I thought I could never do.
For my work and the ability to open a yoga studio and share the joys and benefits of yoga with others.
Good music that makes me smile, dance, sing-a-long, and lifts me up when I am feeling down.
Books, TV shows, & movies that help me unwind and escape for a bit.
Holiday lights and the way they sparkle and glow.
Family dinners when we share stories of our past and also create new and lasting memories for the future.
Once you begin looking for things to be grateful for, you will find that you begin to appreciate simple pleasures and things that you previously took for granted. Remember, gratitude shouldn't just be a result of getting what you want, but an all-the-time gratitude, the kind where you notice the little things and where you constantly look for the good, even in difficult times. Start today and begin bringing gratitude to your experiences, instead of waiting for a positive experience in order to feel grateful.


The Latvian city of Daugavpils has introduced free public transport for residents over the age of 70, the municipality announced on its website last month. The service can be accessed with a special identity card, which residents can apply for by producing a passport, previously issued discount cards for public transport and a photograph.
Amsterdam in the Netherlands is trialling a similar service for those receiving the state pension until the end of December. For the duration of the trial, eligible passengers can travel for free after 9am on weekdays and all day at weekends. Participation in the trial is means-tested to those over 65 who receive less than 110 per cent of the Netherlands statutory minimum income.
Such policies are becoming more and more common across Europe. Cluj-Napoca in Romania also recently granted free public transport to older people in its urban area, based on requests from residents that free transport would reduce social exclusion.

Functors and std:function implementations vary widely between libraries. C++11's lambdas make them more efficient.
Functor classes — classes that implement operator() — are old friends to C++ programmers who, for many years, have used them as predicates for STL algorithms. Nevertheless, implementing simple functor classes is quite cumbersome as the following example shows.
typedef int argument_type; 	// strictly required. More details to come.
Having to write all this code pushes many programmers to write their own loops instead of calling std::count_if. By doing this, they lose good opportunities for compiler optimizations.
It doesn't introduce a new name just for a temporary use, resulting in less name pollution.
Frequently (not in this example, though) the name of the functor class is much less expressive than its actual code. Placing the code closer to where it's called improves code clarity.
In the previous examples, our functor class was named is_multiple_of. Naturally, the functor class automatically implemented by the compiler has a different name. Only the compiler knows this type's name, and we can think of it as an unnamed type. For presentation purposes, it's called the "closure type," whereas the temporary object resulting from the lambda expression is the "closure object." The type anonymity is not an issue for std::count_if because this is a template function and, therefore, argument type deduction takes place.
However, this might not be desirable due to a few well-known template weaknesses: The code must be exposed in header files, compiling time increases, and template functions can't be virtual.
Can find_root be a non-template function? If so, what would be its signature?
Unfortunately, function_t is set at the same scope as the lambda expression and, therefore, is invisible elsewhere. In particular, it can't be used in find_root's signature.
Now, the other important actor of our play enters the stage: std::function.

'The Skylark' by Tom F
Published on November 18, 2014 by elizfratLeave a comment
This is not a competition entry, but something that Tom asked me if I would post on his behalf. It is also another very fitting piece of writing given the 100 year anniversary of WW1 and it has special meaning to him, as detailed in his email to me at the time:
It is dedicated to my uncle, Pte Thomas Frattaroli, Gordon Highlanders, who was killed in action 18th August 1944, in Normandy, at the age of 21. Liseux is a beautiful place, we have visited on quite a few occasions, took my dad there before he passed away (he also fought his way through to Germany and Poland, and survived, obviously). I can't describe the feeling I got the first time I went, and saw my name on the gravestone.
Thank you for sharing this Tom and for your touching story.
It was Lisieux, Normandy, 1944. Paris had been liberated and the Axis forces were retreating.
"Have a cup of tea, lad, then move over to the left to be recorded with the rest of your pals". The British corporal was receiving German prisoners of war, listing name, rank and number, in accordance with the Geneva Convention.
The German soldiers were defeated and afraid, their slumped shoulders and shuffling feet reflected the fear in their eyes. They were thinking "What will happen to us? Will we ever see our families again? "
This one thought ran through all their minds. Only a few short years ago they were children, but the war had ravaged them, now they were battle–hardened men, but they still had their fears.
"Don't worry, Fritz, we will look after you, and you are safe here, we will feed you as well as we can" added the corporal.
"Lucky sods, imagine the boot on the other foot," interrupted one young Tommy, "they wouldn't………."
"Shut up, soldier!" the corporal barked "we are the British Army, the war is over for us and they are no longer a threat. Move on to the left." he motioned to the German POW who was now slurping on his boiling, welcoming brew.
"How many now, corporal? "enquired the RSM.
"About three thousand, sergeant major. We are running short of space to keep them here, but I don't think they are a threat, they have seen enough, just like us, and they welcome their peace"
"We will have to hope so, corporal", the RSM muttered quietly.
"Sir?……."
"We are on our own now son, they have moved on and left us in charge, 'Awaiting Further Orders'. The local French officials will be coming soon to help with the organising of who goes where, but we shouldn't be too long here."
RSM John Kirk was a huge man, a Scot from the Gordon Highlanders, straight-talking and to the point. He was revered by the men serving under him, and respected by his superior officers. With him they believed they were invincible. As a career soldier, he should have gone further up the ranks, but he was content to stay close to his men. He had trained them for three years for this victory, and he wanted to be with them when they achieved it.
"Won't be long now sarge. We'll be off back to Blighty, and not like it was at Dunkirk. This time it'll be on the ferry, china tea cups and a plate of cakes. 'All aboard The Skylark' hey?" It was the young Tommy chirping in again. He was twenty one years old and hadn't been at Dunkirk, too young. This was his first taste of action, but like all Britons he had learned of the horrors of retreat and the bravery of all those involved.
"First Saturday I get, it'll be down to 'Hat and Feathers' for a couple of pints with the boys, then up to see the 'Spurs'. Up The Lillywhites!" he enthused.
John Kirk frowned as he looked the cocky lad up and down, obviously not one of his boys.
"Listen son," he whispered threateningly "that's a way off yet and you are still in the army," the whisper increasing in volume "and while you wear the King's uniform…. you call me SERGEANT MAJOR!"
The private snapped to attention, stretching his five feet six inch frame as far as it would reach.
"Sorry, SERGEANT MAJOR !" his reaction direct from the parade ground.
"Stand easy, lad, I'm not going to eat you, just remember where we are. AND, if I'm ever in The Hat and Feathers, I'll share a wee dram with you." There was almost a smile on Kirk's face, knowing he would NEVER take a drink in a London Pub.
"Now get amongst the prisoners, bring back the mugs and help out with the washing up. Good Lad!"
"SERGEANT MAJOR!" another perfect response.
It was at this point that the Commanding Officer, approached the RSM, he was a Lt. Colonel also from The Gordon Highlanders, and, at twenty four, ten years younger than RSM Kirk.
"I have spoken to the local councillors about the problem of overcrowding, and they have requisitioned the field directly adjacent to ours. We can have the prisoners moved into it as there is more room for them, albeit quite cramped, but it relieves our space a little. I've also spoken to the German C.O. Can you believe, he was educated at Oxford? He is quite happy to move too. They will not give us any trouble, they have nowhere to go, and if the locals got hold of them, heaven knows what would happen. We have about two hours of daylight to get that organised Sarn't Major, they can have an armed guard overnight, you know the procedure."
"Yes Sir!" barked Kirk.
"Thanks, but try and take things a little easier, John. It's all over for us now, we have a lot to be proud of. We did our job. We 'Stood Fast'." The words were softly delivered, causing RSM Kirk to realize that for them, it was all over.
As the sun began to set to the West, a lone skylark rose from this corner of France, ascending slowly, singing his beautiful song of summer, whilst the ghostly shadows of the soldiers disappeared into the cool evening mist. Below him, the two fields, in St. Desir grew smaller as he climbed. In the British field, there were rows of white marble, akin to soldiers on parade. Next to them, divided by a low hedgerow and pathway, lay the German field, filled with smaller, darker stones, three times the number of those in the adjacent field.
At the entrance to each field stood a monument to many brave men, and resting by each, lay a wreath of poppies, with the words
"BROTHERS IN PEACE"

William Henty (born 23 September 1808 in West Tarring, Sussex, England). He moved to Tasmania in 1837 and for over 20 years practised as a solicitor. In 1857 he was elected a member of the legislative council for Tamar and was colonial secretary in the Weston cabinet. He held this office for five and a half years until his resignation in 1862.

He was also an Australian cricketer, who played two games for Tasmania in 1851. He has the distinction of having participated in the first ever first-class cricket match in Australia, and having bowled the first ever ball in a first class cricket match in Australia. He opened the bowling for Tasmania in both innings, bowling right arm underarm, and took 4/52, and 5/26 for 9/78 for the match.

He returned to England in 1862, where he remained until his death on 11 July 1881 in Hove, Sussex, England at the age of 72. He was survived by a daughter.

He was interested in Shakespeare and after his death a small volume by him, Shakespeare with some Notes on his early Biography, was printed for private circulation. This has little value but contains a memoir of the author by R. Harrison.
