BREAKING: Armed robbery reported in Belize City
Nelson Young still waits on tribunal

Belize news
Nelson Young (Former BTL employee)
Posted: Monday, February 3, 2014. 3:37 am CST.
Nelson Young
(Former BTL employee)
AARON HUMES Reporting: Nine years ago Thursday, former employee of Belize Telemedia Limited (BTL), Nelson Young, was fired at the height of civil unrest in 2005 by the Ashcroft regime then in charge, soon to be followed by their union representative Christine Perriott, who later won judgment in the Supreme Court for her case, about $350,000.
One year ago he finished telling his story to an Essential Services Tribunal established under the Trade Unions and Employers' Organizations Act, but despite having closed the case this past January, no decision has been made.
This week Young told us that he sent a text message to Labour Commissioner Ivan Williams, Minister Godwin Hulse and the National Trade Union Congress of Belize (NTUCB), as well as Prime Minister Dean Barrow.
None of them have responded.
In December the NTUCB had demanded in a press release the full and final resolution to the case. Reports indicated that the members of the tribunal were not paid for their services.
We intend to seek comment from all parties early next week due to the late hour.

Senior Sequence: Experience Building a Startup
by Miranda Knight March 24, 2021 Entrepreneurial Mindset Cal Poly, Entrepreneurship, San Luis Obispo, senior project, startup, student
Senior projects are a norm across Cal Poly's campus. These graduation requirements differ between the university's six colleges and, in the Orfalea College of Business, differ between concentrations.
Within the realm of entrepreneurship, students are able to choose from one of two "senior sequences." In one sequence, students get to work with a San Luis Obispo-based startup. In the other, students are given the opportunity to experience building their own company.
The latter sequence, referred to as "Experience Building a Startup," most directly involves engineering students and business students concentrating in entrepreneurship, but students from all six colleges are welcome to take the course with their respective department's permission.
For engineering students, the three-quarter Learn by Doing project acts in-totality as their senior project and consists of ENGR-463, ENGR-464 and ENGR-465. For non-engineering students, the sequence involves three, four-unit classes, in which one counts as their senior project credit: BUS-488: Building a Startup Skillset, BUS-487: Launching and Growing the Technology Start-Up, and BUS-464: Applied Senior Project Seminar.
"The course is ideal for anyone who thinks they want to start their own venture and want to see what that's like, and it's great for people who want to be a product manager," explained one of the two course professors, Dr. Tom Katona. "The top feedback I get on why students choose this sequence, though, is that they want to take classes with people they haven't been taking classes with for the last three years."
The interdisciplinary nature of the course is what makes building a startup possible.
Over the course of the sequence, students form company teams to practice problem-solution tactics, ideation, customer development, competitive research, prototyping and user testing — all accomplished by having a range of skill sets and backgrounds involved.
And while some students come into the course with an idea for a startup or product, Dr. Katona says there isn't a guarantee that a whole team will want to work on it, nor is it as simple as having a cool idea.
"I tend to tell students who say they have an idea of what they want to make that I'm far more interested in hearing about the problem that they want to solve," he said. "Then we'll let the time in class help them figure out what the right solution to that is."
While students can continue to build their startups post-graduation, that isn't always the outcome — but second sequence professor, and CIE Entrepreneur-in-Residence, Dan Weeks says that continuing on with the company students build isn't the whole point.
"I think 5% of students will continue on with their created companies and 95% we're teaching an entrepreneurial mindset to," Weeks explained. "If you go through a 9-month program with all of the detail we offer, no matter where you work after college, you're going to look at things differently."
This is exactly the reason mechanical engineering senior George Luebkeman chose this senior project.
"As an ME student, this option sounded like an excellent way to learn the fundamentals of entrepreneurship, which really sets me apart from other applicants for jobs I am applying to," he said. "Having a Cal Poly engineering education paired with this entrepreneurship experience makes one a prime candidate for small, disruptive tech companies."
Similarly, electrical engineering senior Russell Caletena says this senior project was one he couldn't pass up.
"[The course has] taught me to prioritize empathy, creative thinking, and perseverance when working with others for a shared common goal," he said. "The skills gained, challenges faced, and people I've networked with are all valuable experiences I'll not only cherish, but also apply to my post-grad plans."
Luebkeman and Caletena are students who plan to utilize their entrepreneurial mindset within already-established organizations in the future — often called "intrapreneurs."
Business administration senior Kasey Moffitt, however, plans to take the knowledge she learns in this sequence to one day build her own company.
"As an entrepreneur, my ultimate goal is to one day start my own business," she explained. "My entrepreneurship courses have given me a glimpse into how to start a business, however this course is giving me the hands-on experience that you can't get from a textbook."
Regardless of students' post-grad game plans, this senior sequence provides them with endless experiential knowledge and the ability to mold the course to their needs.
"This is the good and the bad: there's a lot of ambiguity in the class," Dr. Katona said. "We can't tell these innovative students exactly what to do, but we do understand the process by which these things get off the ground and that's what [Weeks and I] help with."
And as daunting as it may sound to build a startup versus taking a more typical senior project, course professors and students alike advocate for the course as the ultimate "Learn by Doing" experience with the safety net of school.
"Our whole attitude here is to fail often, but fail early," Weeks explained. "You don't know what you don't know until you do things. That's what Cal Poly is all about."
Through this hands-on senior project, Caletena's biggest takeaways have been to "think bigger," "be bold" and "explore beyond your comfort zone."
"For me, senior project means a lot more to me than a grade on paper," said Caletena. "The sky is not the limit; the limit is whatever you set it to be and I strongly believe that ideas, no matter how small or big, can truly make a difference in people's lives as long as we continue to pursue them wholeheartedly to bring them to reality."
Ultimately, that is the essence of this entrepreneurial senior sequence: setting future intrapreneurs and entrepreneurs up for success and apart from others to make a difference in the real world.

Q: MapStruct is unable to use Lombok's builder with custom setterPrefix I started integrating MapStruct with an existing Spring Boot application (that uses Lombok).
The problem is that most classes are following the builder pattern (implemented with Lombok), but they have a custom setterPrefix. I can see that MapStruct tells me that fields withXXX are not mapped, but I would like to know if there is a solution for this.
This is the setup:
plugins {
  id("io.freefair.lombok") // Notice how I'm using Lombok, so shifting dependencies is not an option
}

dependencies {
  annotationProcessor("org.mapstruct:mapstruct-processor:1.4.2.Final")
  annotationProcessor("org.projectlombok:lombok-mapstruct-binding:0.2.0")

  implementation("org.mapstruct:mapstruct:1.4.2.Final")

  ...
}

java {
  consistentResolution {
    useCompileClasspathVersions()
  }
  sourceCompatibility = JavaVersion.VERSION_11
  targetCompatibility = JavaVersion.VERSION_11
}

lombok {
  config["lombok.addLombokGeneratedAnnotation"] = "true"
  config["lombok.log.fieldIsStatic"] = "false"
  config["lombok.log.fieldName"] = "logger"
  version = "1.18.18"
}

@Setter
@Builder(setterPrefix = "with")
@EqualsAndHashCode(callSuper = false)
@AllArgsConstructor(access = AccessLevel.PRIVATE)
@NoArgsConstructor(access = AccessLevel.PUBLIC, force = true)
public final class Model {
  @Getter(onMethod = @__(@ColumnName("model_id")))
  private Long id;

  ...
}

@Mapper(componentModel = "spring", injectionStrategy = InjectionStrategy.CONSTRUCTOR)
interface ModelMapper {
  Model valueFrom(CreateModelCommand command);
}

The only solutions I've found so far is:

*

*To declare a @Mapping for every field; e.g.: @Mapping(source = "fieldName", target = "withFieldName") ― quite the challenge!

*To just remove the custom setterPrefix from Lombok's @Builder annotation

A: When you have non standard property names then the best approach is to use a Custom Accessor Naming Strategy.
With it you can define how to extract the property name from a method.

How healthy is Europe's IPO market?
European stocks were little changed after Italy cut its economic-growth forecasts and as investors weighed the possibility the region's central bank might buy low- grade Greek bank loans. US index futures were also little changed, while Asian shares fell.
Greece's ASE Index rallied the most among the markets in western Europe. Adidas AG rose 3.6pc after announcing a plan to return as much as 1.5bn euros ($1.9bn) to shareholders. Zalando SE advanced 5.4pc on its trading debut in Frankfurt. Orange SA fell 2.6pc as Bpifrance sold a stake in the company for 580m euros.
The Stoxx 600 Europe Index added less than 0.1pc to 343.19 at 9.30 am in London. The gauge climbed 0.6pc yesterday, completing its fifth quarter of gains that was the longest streak since 2006, amid optimism the European Central Bank will step up stimulus measures even as the Federal Reserve winds down its program. Standard & Poor's 500 Index futures slipped less than 0.1pc today, while the MSCI Asia Pacific Index lost 0.4pc.

Chris Schreiner
Christopher Schreiner (born February 16, 1983) is an American composer/guitarist.
He was described by the Wall Street Journal as "spacey, quietly flashy and intense.". Perfect Porridge called him "the epitome of a Berklee trained guitarist."
Guitar International said that "Schreiner's guitar work blends together modern rock-fusion elements with bluesy, jazz based harmonies and melodic material. Songs like "Icarus" draw up images of Vai, Satriani, Holdsworth, Metheny and Scott Henderson, with just enough Malmsteeneqsue sweep picking to keep shred heads happy, an homage to the diversity in Schreiner's playing and in his musical influences. Overall Schreiner's guitar playing is sophisticated, energetic and aurally stimulating…".

What is crystalline silica (quartz)?
The term "crystalline silica" and "quartz" refer to the same thing. Crystalline silica is a natural constituent of the earth's crust and is a basic component of sand and granite.
Silicosis is a disease of the lungs due to the breathing of dust containing crystalline silica particles. This dust can cause fibrosis or scar tissue formations in the lungs that reduce the lung's ability to work to extract oxygen from the air. There is no cure for this disease, thus, prevention is the only answer.
What are the symptoms of silicosis?
There are several stages of silicosis. Early stages may go completely unnoticed. Continued exposure may result in the exposed person noticing a shortness of breath upon exercising, possible fever and occasionally bluish skin at the ear lobes or lips. Silicosis makes a person more susceptible to infectious diseases of the lungs like tuberculosis. Progression of the disease leads to fatigue, extreme shortness of breath, loss of appetite, pain in the chest, and respiratory failure, which all may lead eventually to death. Acute silicosis may develop after short periods of exposure. Chronic silicosis usually occurs after 10 or more years of exposure to lower levels of quartz.
Where are construction workers exposed to crystalline silica dust?
The most severe exposures to crystalline silica result from sandblasting to remove paint and rust from stone buildings, metal bridges, tanks, and other surfaces. Other activities that may produce crystalline silica dust include jack hammering, rock/well drilling, concrete mixing, concrete drilling, and brick and concrete block cutting and sawing. Tunneling operations; repair or replacement of linings of rotary kilns and cupola furnaces; and setting, laying and repair of railroad track are potential sources of crystalline silica exposure.
How is OSHA addressing exposure to crystalline silica-containing dust?
OSHA has established a Permissible Exposure Limit, or PEL, which is the maximum amount of airborne crystalline silica that an employee maybe exposed to during the work-shift. OSHA is also beginning a Special Emphasis Program to inform employers and employees about the occurrence and hazards of crystalline silica and ways to reduce exposure to the dust.
What can employees do to limit their exposure to crystalline silica?
Employers are required to provide and assure the use of appropriate controls for crystalline silica-containing dust. Be sure to use all available engineering controls such as water sprays and ventilation of containment structures. Substitution of less hazardous materials can also be used.
Be aware of the health effects of crystalline silica and that smoking adds to the damage.
Know the work operations where exposure to crystalline silica may occur.
Participate in any air monitoring or training programs offered by the employer.
Use type CE positive pressure abrasive blasting respirators for sandblasting.
For other operations where respirators maybe required, wear a respirator approved for protection against crystalline silica-containing dust. Do not alter the respirator in any way. Workers who use tight-fitting respirators cannot have beards/mustaches which interfere with the respirator seal to the face.
If possible, change into disposable or washable work clothes at the worksite; shower (where available) and change into clean clothing before leaving the worksite.
Do no eat, drink, use tobacco products, or apply cosmetics in areas where there is dust containing crystalline silica.
Wash hands and face before eating, drinking, smoking, or applying cosmetics outside of the exposure area.
If you have any questions about any occupational health matter, feel free to ask us. Our job is to protect your health. For more information, contact your local or Regional OSHA office (listed in the telephone directory under United State Government - Department of Labor - Occupational Safety and Health Administration).

Q: Loop over group IP's I have a group with hosts and to probe those with GlusterFS I need to turn the group into a list of IP's.
I have searched here and on Google and tried a lot of things to get this done, some include lots of code and others templates and regex and what not.
Currently I have not found a single solution to just list the IP's of a group of hosts.
This is what I made myself, it takes the group, turns this dict into a list and then loops over the list, great! But when I loop over it the results are strings (why?!) and I cannot get the IP's anymore.
- name: workit
  vars:
    main_nodes_ips: "{{ groups['glusterpeers'] | list }}"
  loop: "{{ main_nodes_ips }}"
  debug:
    msg: "{{ item['hostvars'] }}"

I found this
- debug: var=hostvars[inventory_hostname]['ansible_default_ipv4']['address']

But how to turn it into this (example not working)
- debug: var=groups['glusterpeers']['ansible_default_ipv4']['address']

I do not understand why a list of hosts turns into a list of strings all of a sudden, but maybe I should not think of it as objects.

My Result
This is what I ended up with to probe all the peers for the GlusterFS. In the 'when' blocks I hard code the hostname of the first node, not great. I still wonder if there is not a more elegant way of probing the peers, it must be something all GlusterFS users do.
Als taking the second IP may give trouble when this order of IP's changes so hostname is probably better.
- hosts: all
  gather_facts: true
  tasks:
    - set_fact:
        main_nodes_ips: "{{ groups.zicluster|
                            map('extract', hostvars, 'ansible_all_ipv4_addresses')|
                            map(attribute='1')|
                            list }}"
      run_once: true
    - debug:
        var: main_nodes_ips[1:]
      when: inventory_hostname == 'zi01'

    - name: probe the peers
      gluster.gluster.gluster_peer:
            state: present
            nodes: "{{ main_nodes_ips[1:] }}"
      when: inventory_hostname == 'zi01'

A: For example, the playbook below takes the first IP address of a remote host and creates the list
- hosts: glusterpeers
  gather_facts: true
  tasks:
    - debug:
        var: ansible_all_ipv4_addresses
    - set_fact:
        main_nodes_ips: "{{ groups.glusterpeers|
                            map('extract', hostvars, 'ansible_all_ipv4_addresses')|
                            map('first')|
                            list }}"
      run_once: true
    - debug:
        var: main_nodes_ips
      run_once: true

Kent County Archives - Residential Properties LTD.
The Circle of Excellence Awards of the Kent Washington Association of Realtors was held on April 2 at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Warwick. The theme of the event was, "Pathway to the Stars." The theme was carried throughout the evening from the decorations to the performance of the song, "When You Wish upon a Star," by Pat Connors' daughters. Pat is the Association Executive of the KW Board. The evening was festive with a cocktail hour followed by a dinner of salmon or prime rib. The award ceremony was held partially during the dinner and then immediately following. Cheryl Eley and Lisa Levine from our East Greenwich Office served on the event committee.

Christine is the brains of the operation. Her work history includes tax, audit and corporate accounting. She started her own business in 2012 as an accountant and consultant for small businesses and non-profits.


Despite the fact that we've been a lifetime fan of Robert DeNiro and and NEVER a fan of the President – we were appalled by DeNiro's "F**k Trump" declarations at the Tony Awards, and further appalled by the audience's cheering response. In what world are immature and vulgar comments on live TV like these acceptable, much less admired? DeNiro succeeded in making himself and the Hollywood "left" look glaringly awful to the multitudes of Trump voters watching the show. This can only strengthen their desire to vote him into a second term and further divide this nation! Nothing good can come from this immature and offensive behavior.
There are 14 Comments. TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK!
THE BALLPLAYING THIEVES WHO DISGRACED UCLA BROUGHT OUT THE WORST IN OTHERS!
When we heard that three UCLA basketball players had been arrested in China for SHOPLIFTING, we were flabbergasted at how stupid the guys must be. And they're IN COLLEGE! It turns out that security footage revealed the three guys- all around 19 or 20 – stole Louis Vuitton sunglasses (average price $700) and other stuff from three stores near their hotel. A big heist – and it was all found in their luggage. Stealing thousands of dollars of merchandise can get you ten years in prison in China. (Having owned a store, we have no sympathy for thieves.) Apparently President Trump helped get them released (and of course he wanted a pat on the back!) The father of one player was equally stupid when he said he doubted the president's role in getting the players released and sniffed that shoplifting was "no big deal." NO WONDER the kid is a thief – with a father like that! Of course, all this inspired our chatty president to reply "I should have left them in jail." Maybe he should have.
DID KATHY GRIFFIN BURN TOO MANY BRIDGES? THE ANSWER IS NO!
It wasn't long after Kathy Griffin RETRACTED her Trump apology and Andy Cohen "forgot" who she was, than she packed her bags and took off on her "Laugh Your Head Off" world tour. Brilliant move! She'd lost all her jobs in the US – even her traditional New Year's Eve special with unsupportive Anderson Cooper, whom she called a "spineless heiress." (We happen to think everyone overreacted to her lame Trump head photo – she's a comedian and they sometimes make mistakes. No big deal.) Now Kathy's appearing at sold-out comedy clubs in Melbourne and THEY have nothing against her! Kathy loves to make fun of celebrities and now she can REALLY dish the dirt on all the ones who turned against her. She's making lemonade out of lemons….
GEORGE CLOONEY TO DONALD TRUMP: I DON'T HAVE A STAR ON HOLLYWOOD BOULEVARD!
It's complicated when Alec Baldwin and his family come to Beverly Hills. Alec, 59, took his wife Hilaria, 33, and their three kids, Carmen, Leonardo, and Rafael, along with two strollers and two nannies, out for lunch and a walk. Alec is nominated for a Best Supporting Actor Emmy for his take-off of Donald Trump on Saturday Night Live. The whole family came to LA to cheer him on and he and Hilaria will hit a few pre-Emmy parties. Alec's "Trump" character is already booked to open the new season of SNL.
Laugh? We doubt it- both Trump and Clooney seem to have similar masculine flaws, but we're Team Clooney.


I love gimmicks. Anyone can tell you I am down for any theme restaurant, molecular gastronomy experience, or any sort of historic reenactment. I AM DOWN. Boyfriend and I were leaving Harvard's museum of Natural History when we stumbled across Churned2, a liquid nitrogen ice cream shop housed in a storage container.
As stated on their website they wanted to combine a food truck and a brick and mortar store to attain the best part of both worlds: the community generated around a brick and mortar store and the mobility offered by a "food truck" without consuming the amount of fossil fuels that food trucks require for day to day operations.
Their decor is cute and the staff was young and friendly. The two flavors they offered that particular day were Cinnamon Crunch and White Chocolate. From what I saw, the Cinnamon Crunch flavor was a milk/cream flavored ice cream with Cap'n Crunch Cereal sprinkled on top and the white chocolate flavor was just a homogenous cream ice cream. No white chocolate chunks, veins, or white chocolate drizzled on top. Just a sweet ice cream, but I'll get to that later.
Here you can see a little bit of the process where they use the liquid nitrogen to churn the ice cream base. The churn staff was attentive in wearing protective eyewear and gloves while mixing the whole thing. Why would you want to use liquid nitrogen to make ice cream? Besides the fact that it looks cool, it also supposedly cools the ice cream base so fast large ice crystals don't have a chance to form, giving you a creamy, smooth ice cream 100% of the time.
Milk, sugar, science, and magic!
After a quick churn, you can see her scooping out the now-solidified ice cream and placing it into biodegradable bowls.
This is the final product, looking good right? Boyfriend and I decided to get the regular size and split it for $7.00.
The texture was fine. It was nice and creamy and certainly a step up from cheap bargain brand ice creams that go on sale at the grocery store week after week...but the flavor was disappointing. It just tasted like ice cream base. Churned, frozen, sweetened milk. Also, as mentioned before, the white chocolate ice cream was completely homogenous. They didn't add any flavor texture or variety with white chocolate shavings or chunks to the mix, so the ice cream altogether was pretty boring, both in texture and in taste.
Overall, we found the ice cream to be nothing special. I was pretty vocal about how disappointed I was after consumption and even boyfriend (who is usually very ambivalent when it comes to these things) chimed in. If we want to satisfy our white chocolate craving we'll just head to Burdick's for the white hot chocolate instead.
Kid Friendly: Yes! Ice cream basically means children.

Dick Wolf on Law & Order: LA's 'Bold' Revamp: 'The Proof Is In the Pudding' - Will You Watch?
By Matt Webb Mitovich / April 7 2011, 7:26 AM PDT
When NBC's Law & Order: LA resumes its freshman run Monday at 9/8c, the look and feel will be so different, "I'd almost call it Law & Order: LA 2.0," says franchise boss Dick Wolf. In fact, Wolf deems the double episodes airing next week "better than anything we did in the first 13…. Frankly, the proof is in the pudding."
What all has changed? More like: What hasn't? In the first new hour, Skeet Ulrich's Detective Rex Winters is written out of the series, paving the way for Alfred Molina's Ricardo Morales to transition to homicide detective, a job he held prior to joining the District Attorney's office.
"Sometimes someone has to die so that everyone else can live," Wolf says of Ulrich's extraction. "It was a very, very painful call to make." Additionally, Regina Hall and Megan Boone have left the series.
TVLine Items: Carol Burnett Special, Fringe Vet to Percy Jackson and More
Pedro Pascal to Make SNL Hosting Debut in February
With Morales on the streets, partnered with Corey Stoll's Detective TJ Jaruszalski, Terrence Howard's Deputy DA Joe Dekker figures into every episode — and will be joined by Law & Order alumna Alana de la Garza, reprising her role of Connie Rubirosa.
Noting that de la Garza was "well-loved by the mothership audience," Wolf says, "The opportunity to put her in was too good to pass up."
"This is a very bold, very audacious step," Molina said of his increased presence. "But on a personal level, I was very thrilled by the idea, because I love working."
"Although the one-episode-on/one-episode-off regime was very luxurious," he adds with a chuckle, "I felt like I was missing out on something. I just hope the audience is as enthusiastic as we are!"
Why didn't Law & Order: LA get things so right the first go-round? Wolf says he was originally presented with a plan that had the original Law & Order bowing out with a final salvo of episodes in fall 2010, setting the table for LOLA's debut. But when the mothership instead got canceled wholesale last spring, "We were very much in a breakneck race to get [LOLA] on the fall schedule in time." And having never shot a proper pilot, "This was basically a transition at 60 miles-per-hour, which is never the first choice."
Will you give 'Law & Order: LA' a second chance?

Q: SlidingTabLayout with icons only Following this example i was able to create a SlidingTabLayout with icons only but i would like to center them. Do i need to create a custom view or are there other solutions?
Any help would be appreciated.

A: Finally i'v figured it out. Here's my code example...
Create a drawable for each tab, in my case i created
store_tab.xml and cart_tab.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <item android:drawable="@drawable/ic_store_white_24dp" android:state_selected="true" />
    <item android:drawable="@drawable/ic_store_grey600_24dp" />
</selector>

Create your own pager adapter, which extends from FragmentPageAdapter
public class HomePagerAdapter extends FragmentPagerAdapter {

    private static int[] ICONS = new int[] {
        R.drawable.store_tab,
        R.drawable.cart_tab
    };

    // ...

    @Override
    public CharSequence getPageTitle(int position) {
        return null;
    }

    @Override
    public int getCount() {
        return ICONS.length;
    }

    public int getDrawableId(int position) {
        return ICONS[position];
    }

}

Create the following new method in SlidingTabLayout
protected ImageView createDefaultImageView(Context context) {
    ImageView imageView = new ImageView(context);

    int padding = (int) (TAB_VIEW_PADDING_DIPS * getResources().getDisplayMetrics().density);
    imageView.setPadding(padding, padding, padding, padding);

    int width = (int) (getResources().getDisplayMetrics().widthPixels / mViewPager.getAdapter().getCount());
    imageView.setMinimumWidth(width);

    return imageView;
}

Then alter the method populateTabStrip inside SlidingTabLayout
private void populateTabStrip() {
    final HomePagerAdapter adapter = (HomePagerAdapter) mViewPager.getAdapter();
    final View.OnClickListener tabClickListener = new TabClickListener();

    for (int i = 0; i < adapter.getCount(); i++) {
        View tabView = null;
        //TextView tabTitleView = null;
        ImageView tabIconView = null;

        /*if (mTabViewLayoutId != 0) {
            // If there is a custom tab view layout id set, try and inflate it
            tabView = LayoutInflater.from(getContext()).inflate(mTabViewLayoutId, mTabStrip,
                    false);
            tabTitleView = (TextView) tabView.findViewById(mTabViewTextViewId);
        }

        if (tabView == null) {
            tabView = createDefaultTabView(getContext());
        }

        if (tabTitleView == null && TextView.class.isInstance(tabView)) {
            tabTitleView = (TextView) tabView;
        }*/

        if (tabView == null) {
            tabView = createDefaultImageView(getContext());
        }

        if (tabIconView == null && ImageView.class.isInstance(tabView)) {
            tabIconView = (ImageView) tabView;
        }

        tabIconView.setImageDrawable(getResources().getDrawable(adapter.getDrawableId(i)));
        if (mViewPager.getCurrentItem() == i) {
            tabIconView.setSelected(true);
        }
        //tabTitleView.setText(adapter.getPageTitle(i));
        tabView.setOnClickListener(tabClickListener);

        mTabStrip.addView(tabView);
    }
}

Finally alter onPageSelected inside InternalViewPageListener
@Override
public void onPageSelected(int position) {
    for (int i = 0; i < mTabStrip.getChildCount(); i++) {
        mTabStrip.getChildAt(i).setSelected(false);
    }
    mTabStrip.getChildAt(position).setSelected(true);

    if (mScrollState == ViewPager.SCROLL_STATE_IDLE) {
        mTabStrip.onViewPagerPageChanged(position, 0f);
        scrollToTab(position, 0);
    }

    if (mViewPagerPageChangeListener != null) {
        mViewPagerPageChangeListener.onPageSelected(position);
    }
}

Final result


Timpson is located in the northwest corner of Shelby County, six miles east of Nacogdoches county and six miles South of Panola County. Timpson is twenty-five miles west of the Sabine River, which is the State Line, and thirty-one miles north of Nacogdoches, the oldest town in east Texas.
Timpson is a very young town. When the county was first organized, Shelbyville, the county seat, in the southern portion, and Buena Vista, in the western portion, were the only towns in the county. The next town to be established was about 1866, a new county seat named Center, because it was located in the center of the county. Still Shelby County was without a railroad. In 1884 outside capital, mostly in New York, decided to build a railroad from Shreveport, Louisiana to Houston, Texas. They made their survey along the northern edge of Shelby County and this accounts for three new towns in the county: Timpson, Tenaha, and Joaquin. When the survey for the railroad was first made they ran it through the old town of Buena Vista, but some of the leading citizens of that community did not want to accept the prices which the surveyors offered them, so rather than pay such high prices for the right-of-way, a second survey was made, which missed Buena Vista some three miles to the North, and a new townsite was laid out in the midst of the woods.
They named the new town Timpson in honor of one of the stockholders, a Mr. Timpson, who lived in New York. They made a practice of naming the new towns along the railroad after stockholders, hence Lufkin, Appleby, and others.
The railroad surveyor for this section was named Charlie Noblet. After laying out the railroad, he surveyed the town. They made it one mile square; then subdivided it into ordinary lots and blocks; then named the streets. Again the names of stockholders came in for honors. Thus we find the streets, Jacob, Bremmond, and others. They also used the names of nearby residents for streets as Todd and McLaughlin. The town site was located in an old slavery-time field and our present modern paved streets cover an old corn field.
Like all "railroad" towns Timpson was laid out with the railroad, and not north and south as most towns are. Therefore the streets run at an angle of 43 degrees "off". When the town was incorporated, Charlie Noblet's map was adopted and is now on record at the county seat, and is the official map of the city today.
The early survey included two farm residences: one known as the old Booth home, located where the cemetery now is. Mr. J.M. Booth, an older brother of our present city marshal, is said to be buried on the exact same spot where he was born, his grave being located on ground that was under the bedroom of his birthplace. The other residence was known as the Cal Bryan home. It was built in slavery days and is still well kept, and is better known in recent years as the old Langhorne home, north of the compress. This is the only house in Timpson built many years before the town was ever thought of, and is sitting "square with the world".
There was only one other farm home near the new town. Mr. Blankenship owned a large log house which still exists only a few miles north of the city limits. This was the childhood home our present eminent citizens, J.E. Blankenship and Mrs. J. H. Cruger. This home became very prominent in the early days of Timpson because it was here that Charlie Noblet and his surveying crew and other laborers as well as the town promoters went to eat the country ham and fat chickens of Mark Blankenship before hotel accommodations were to be had in the new town.
While Mr. Noblet and his crew were busily laying out the town, the construction crew was also busy opening the right-of-way and laying the track from garrison, the last station south of Timpson.
While the steel had been laid and a few freight hauls had been made beforehand, it was in May, 1885, that the first passenger train came to Timpson. This was a red letter day for the town, which as yet did not exist on paper. The railroad officials and town promoters had announced and supplied a big barbecue for the occasion. The barbecue was held in front of the Cal Bryan home which was then occupied by Pat McLaughlin. There was no depot, so the train stopped beside the picnic rounds. This first train was what is now called a "dinky". It was small, being adapted to a narrow-gauge track for that was the type of track being used here at that time. Three were three passenger coaches loaded to overflowing; in addition, there were several flat cars which were also crowded. This load made it quite hard for the small engine to pull, as it was using cordwood for fuel. People came from far and near. The railroad officials from both Houston and Shreveport and from most intervening towns came also. The country people had been invited and came driving in from every direction to attend the barbecue. Especially prominent were some of the neighboring merchants who were contemplating moving to the new town. The day was spent listening to addresses concerning the railroad and the advantages and possibilities of the new town. Maps were displayed and lots were bought and sold. This lot selling project was the beginning of Timpson. Captain Todd bought the lot where the Guaranty State Bank now stands. Pat McLaughlin bought the other corner lot where W.M. Ramsey's store is now located. T.C. Whiteside, T.S. Garrison and many others bought desirable locations.

Rick Hunter, in originale  è un personaggio della serie animata giapponese Macross, adattata negli anni ottanta in Robotech dalla statunitense Harmony Gold.

Doppiato in italiano dal doppiatore e voce radiofonica Tony Severo, è il personaggio protagonista della prima serie di Robotech. Nei primi episodi ci viene presentato come diciannovenne pilota acrobatico di un circo volante. Al termine della serie egli matura e diventa un rispettato ed esperto comandante di caccia militari.

Rick nasce nel 1990, originariamente è influenzato dalle idee pacifiste del padre, almeno fino a che la durezza della guerra iniziata dalla razza aliena conosciuta come Zentradi, la quale attacca la Terra, non lo colpisce direttamente. Durante la serie Rick cercherà di conciliare i suoi sentimenti personali, con la realtà della guerra e la necessità di confrontarsi con un'incredibile razza aliena.

Prima guerra di Robotech
Il primo episodio inizia con Rick Hunter che arriva come visitatore nell'isola di Macross nel 2009, per vedere il lancio della astronave Super Dimensional Fortress One. Grazie al suo "fratellone" Roy Fokker, Rick riesce ad entrare nella cabina di un caccia trasformabile, un Varitech e rischia di schiantarsi al suolo non sapendolo pilotare, durante la concitazione del primo attacco alieno. Si viene a trovare infine nella bolla di iperspazio quando la SDF-1 inizia il salto spaziotemporale, portando con sé anche l'isola di Macross e tutti i suoi abitanti.

Durante questi fatti Rick salva una giovane cantante, Lynn Minmay, della quale si invaghisce.
Comunque egli inizialmente non ha idea del costante pericolo che la nave, e la città che in essa costruiranno i superstiti di Macross, incontrerà nel viaggio di ritorno sulla Terra, ma il susseguirsi degli eventi, lo spingeranno ad arruolarsi nelle Forze di Difesa Robotech ed iniziare quella carriera che lo porterà a diventare un asso dell'aviazione militare. In questo periodo Rick conosce Lisa Hayes, la disciplinata e riservata comandante in seconda della SDF-1. Nella prima battaglia sulla Terra, quando era ancora un civile ed era capitato per puro caso su un Varitech, Rick rispose malamente a Lisa via radio definendola "zitella acida" e da allora ci saranno molti battibecchi fra la comandante e la nuova recluta.

Dopo una missione di salvataggio di Lisa su Marte, nella Base Sara, Rick riceve una medaglia d'onore e la promozione a tenente, con una squadra sotto il suo comando (la squadra Vermiglio), e due subordinati Max Sterling e Ben Dixon. Nel corso della serie Rick matura ed acquista esperienza mentre la SDF-1 si avvicina lentamente alla Terra e riconosce che il suo giovane sottoposto Sterling è un pilota ancora più abile di lui stesso. In ogni caso, Rick è considerato come uno dei più pericolosi e forse il più completo, tra i piloti Robotech di tutte e tre le serie, potendo vantare sia una grande abilità nel volo che notevoli doti di comando.

Durante una missione di ricognizione, la sua squadra e il comandante Hayes furono catturati. Di fronte alla pressante richiesta degli Zentradi di capire l'interazione tra uomo e donna, Rick riceve l'ordine da Lisa di baciarla. Poiché questo fu il primo di molti "ordini" di baciarla, è da questo punto che Lisa inizia a scoprire delle affinità e dell'affetto per l'uomo più giovane di lei.

Dopo aver raggiunto la Terra, l'equipaggio della grande nave non è ancora in salvo. In una battaglia in cui si sfidano Miriya e Max Sterling, Roy Fokker viene ucciso in combattimento. A quel punto Rick diventa il comandante del leggendario squadrone dei Teschi, ed inizia ad utilizzare il Varitech di Roy, il VF-1S. Rick diviene per la Terra un grande eroe, il comandante delle forze aeree della SDF-1 nelle disperate battaglie dell'ultimo anno della Prima guerra di Robotech. In questo periodo matura grandemente come uomo, fino a che, alla fine della serie, realizza il suo amore con Lisa Hayes, dopo aver superato l'infatuazione che provava per Minmei. Dopo la terribile guerra, Rick e Lisa sono due delle più influenti figure militari sopravvissute della razza umana, e insieme al comandante Zentradi Breetai, loro antico nemico, costruiscono la SDF-3, con la quale intendo rendere all'umanità il suo destino tra le stelle.

Forza di spedizione Robotech
Nella terza generazione di Robotech, sono passati circa 30 anni, e Rick Hunter viene nominato come "Ammiraglio Hunter", che pare essere al comando della Forza di spedizione Robotech, tornata per liberare la Terra dagli Invid. La SDF-3 con l'ammiraglio Hunter a bordo non arriverà mai sulla Terra con il grosso della Flotta di spedizione alla fine della serie di Robotech.
La ricerca della SDF-3 e dell'ammiraglio Hunter, sono oggetto della nuova serie Robotech: The Shadow Chronicles.

The Shadow Chronicles
L'Ammiraglio Rick Hunter, ha a disposizione la potenza distruttiva dei missili ai neutroni S, e dà l'ordine di bombardare il centro principale degli Invid se non si riuscirà a sconfiggerli con mezzi convenzionali. L'uso di quest'arma comporterebbe molti caduti, anche fra i civili, ma almeno la Terra sopravviverebbe e sarebbe libera dagli Invid. Tuttavia durante i test di lancio dei missili nel settore Omicron, egli si convince (dopo aver danneggiato gravemente la sua nave, e creato un nuovo buco nero), che quei missili non debbano essere usati assolutamente sulla Terra. Il messaggio arriva disturbato, e Vince Grant, capitano della Icarus, viene inviato in soccorso della SDF-3 di cui si sono perse le tracce. Il capitano Grant inizia così la ricerca, ma la posizione e la situazione della SDF-3 sono sconosciute, come le condizioni dell'Ammiraglio Hunter.

In The Shadow Chronicles, i capelli scuri di Rick della prima serie sono ora bianchi.

Bradley Heilman
Brad Heilman co-founded QiVantage in October 2004 to help athletes maintain and improve joint and muscle condition through the use of Asian herbal formulas. The company combines Brad's lifelong interest in the East Asian martial arts, which emphasizes developing condition and laying a foundation for longevity, with his experience in sports, education, health and biomechanics. As president, Brad leads QiVantage's strategic planning and shares responsibility for day-to-day operations with Rob Lucier.
As an International Level 7th Degree Black Belt and instructor in Traditional Martial Arts with more than 20 years experience, Brad has trained more than 1,000 instructors and students. Developed in East Asia, the Traditional Martial Arts that Brad practices utilize form and movement, acupressure, herbal formulas and meditation in a time-proven system of self-development. Together with Rob Lucier, Brad has led numerous seminars on Traditional Asian Health Methods that combine movement, acupressure and herbal formulas to relieve stress and improve internal functions including breathing, digestion and overall Qi (energy) circulation.
Previously, at Simplayer, a sports media company, Brad oversaw the design of real-time web-based representations of NFL, MLB, NBA and NHL games. Earlier, he served as a product designer for Logal, an educational science software company that created simulations in human physiology, biology, chemistry and physics.
At Lifecor, a company that developed and produced an external, wearable defibrillator, Brad designed and tested vest prototypes that mimicked aspects of human skin. As a graduate student, he helped design and build a laboratory at Tufts to study comparative biomechanics. This lab, which is a cross-disciplinary lab for biology and mechanical engineering, researches methods by which human life can be enhanced by designs found in nature.
Brad earned a Masters in Mechanical Engineering focusing on Comparative Biomechanics and a Bachelors in Mechanical Engineering from Tufts University. While at Tufts, Brad received both the Mechanical Engineering Prize and the Trefethen Award for outstanding research. His work has been published in numerous magazines and journals including Newsweek, Popular Mechanics, Science, the Journal of Applied Optics and other scientific publications.

In addition, Rob has taught and trained hundreds of instructors and students using this time-proven system of self-development. Together with Brad Heilman, Rob has taught numerous seminars on Traditional Asian Health Methods. These seminars use a system of movements, acupressure, and herbal formulas to relieve stress, enhance athletic ability and bring balance to the mind and body. QiVantage utilizes these techniques and formulas to help athletes and others recover from a variety of injuries and conditions.
Rob brings an extensive background in business development, marketing, and product management to QiVantage, holding an MBA from Dartmouth's Tuck School of Business. At QiVantage, Rob oversees marketing and e-commerce areas of the company, and shares in managing day-to-day operations with Brad Heilman.

Adam Potter Scott
Hello there. I'm Adam Scott and I work as a sound designer and composer in New York. My current work with SBCAST involves generative multimedia, biofeedback, haptics, and sensory data transposition.
I started my career working as a promotions assistant for ClearChannel while studying Music Composition at Purchase College in 2004. I obtained my Masters of Music at Purchase in 2008, and for the next few years worked as a roadie, stagehand, front of house mixer, and almost every other job in the trenches of the music industry.
About ten years ago, I stumbled into a commercial songwriting contract. One thing led to another, and as of 2021 I've written hundreds of jingles, music beds, mnemonics, and remixes for television. Much of this work has been with Viacom, and the music I've written for various Nickelodeon shorts and promotional campaigns has received multiple ProMax awards. Additionally, my official SpongeBob Square Pants and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Remixes have accumulated millions of views on YouTube and Instagram.
I also collaborate with the Questyroyal Fine Art Gallery in New York as a content producer and music composer. My score for the Questroyal Fine Art commissioned documentary, "Blakelock: The Great Mad Genius" was even awarded Best Original Music at the 2019 Santa Barbara International Fine Arts Film Festival. Critic and conductor Dan Keppel kindly wrote in his review:
"The score is tremendously moving. The musical narrative… brings vibrant life, intuitive meaning and final ecstasy to this stunning short." Daniel Kepl | Performing Arts Review
At the 2019 Santa Barbara International Fine Arts Film Festival, I was fortunate enough to connect with the creative force behind SBCAST, artist / designer Alan Macy. Our mutual interests resulted in a series of projects that blur the lines between performer, audience, and technology. In early 2020, I composed music specifically for a haptic speaker array designed by Crowson Technology and installed at SBCAST's Studio E. This piece, titled Sub-Bass Sonata, is specially tuned and mastered for Studio E, and can only be experienced at SBCAST. For our next project, I programmed an audio/visual generator for a custom ECG and pulse amplification system created by Macy. This project, called Edge Case, produces real-time melodies and 3D graphics that are derived from a single participant's heartbeat. Edge Case also allows for third-party interaction so that the generative music can be manipulated and played like an instrument.
Our current collaboration is a digital extension of Macy's Biometric Campfire called The Autonomic Orchestra. The Autonomic Orchestra generates music that is entirely structured and arranged in real-time by the participants' heartbeats.

The South African Turnover: Anticorruption or Political Consolidation?
Last February, South African President Jacob Zuma—who has been dogged for years by credible allegations of corruption and other serious malfeasance in office—finally resigned under pressure. In April, only a couple of months later, Zuma went on trial; he faces 16 counts of corruption, fraud, money laundering, and racketeering related to arms deals that took place in the 1990s (before his election as president). Zuma fought these charges for years, but now it seems as if his political cover has run out.
Yet the story behind Zuma's corruption trial may go deeper than Zuma's past bad behavior finally catching up with him. It's important also to note the political context. Zuma's resignation came at the urging of his party, the African National Congress (ANC), after Deputy President Cyril Ramaphosa secured the leadership of the ANC in December 2017, igniting a power struggle that led to a planned vote of no confidence, brokered by Ramaphosa. Zuma resigned in order to avoid a vote he was likely to lose, and Deputy President Ramaphosa immediately took over. In his first few months in office, Ramaphosa has been shaking up the political establishment, but is himself also the subject of multiple corruption allegations. This leads one to question: Should the retrial of Zuma be understood principally as part of Ramaphosa strategy for political consolidation? More generally, has South Africa's recent political shakeup set the country on a course for a better, less corrupt future?
Many have expressed precisely this hope, but I'm more pessimistic. True, President Ramaphosa has acknowledged South Africa's serious corruption problem and pledged to address it, and that is in some ways welcome news. But Ramaphosa is not an immaculate outsider with the capacity to reform from a position of moral authority. He is a deep insider, enmeshed in the corrupt system he has pledged to reform. He has profited heavily from the relationship between the ANC and the wealthy (mostly white) elites, and his rise to power came not from a landslide toward a new party, but from a successful destabilization of the ANC from within. Moreover, while Ramaphosa's government is cracking down on corruption, its investigations seem carefully and narrowly targeted, focusing mainly on those who might be a political threat or rival. Therefore, I worry that Ramaphosa may prove to be equally corrupt, and the latest string of crackdowns may be nothing more than a way of securing his position as leader of South Africa for the many years to come.

Local boozer scoops regional crown in John Smith's pub competition
New York New York wins Only Ordinary By Name competition
Dave Masters
The votes have been counted, and today the most extraordinary pub in your area can be revealed.
We teamed up with John Smith's to find pubs which, just like its beer, are Only Ordinary By Name. Entries flooded in from boozers across the region which might seem ordinary at first glance but have an extraordinary story to tell.
And you have been voting for your favourite, which will today be crowned as the local winner of the Only Ordinary By Name competition, and receive a £300 prize.
They will also go forward to the national final, where there is a £5,000 prize to be won. That includes £500 for the winning landlord or landlady as a reward for running Britain's most remarkable pub, and £4,500 to be spent on improvements for customers.
And your local winner, the pub representing your area in the national final, is New York New York in Manchester, M1 3LY.
Open to all - New York New York
This flamboyant pub in the heart of the city's Gay Village is arguably Manchester's most famous gay bar. But with brilliant nightly entertainment, from drag acts to discos and DJs, it is equally popular with people of all persuasions and from every walk of life.
Describing itself as the "original party palace", its rooms are lavishly decorated with comfy couches and big booths, while staff often wear fancy dress and rope in punters too.
The pub is also well known for its cocktails, with classics like mojitos and Sex on the Beach, as well as other creations, served up in the pub's inimitable style.
Owner Tracey told of her "honour" at finding out the pub had been crowned the local winner of the Only Ordinary By Name competition.
She said: "We had no inkling we would get so many votes. I feel absolutely fulfilled, overwhelmed and truly amazed, and I can't thank my loyal customers enough for helping me achieve this great honour.
"Above all we are a customer and community caring, safe and fun place, which I think was the biggest factor in us winning. We have a high regular customer clientele and, as an independent family-run bar, we are very passionate about quality and value. We pride ourselves on continuously upgrading the premises, and carrying out refurbishment every three years to each of the three bars."
New York New York's decoration and attention to detail has become famous. Last year, for its Halloween party, the bar was transformed into a derelict building during a zombie apocalypse. At Christmas, 15ft Christmas trees and decorated parcels were attached to the building.
For last year's Manchester Pride festival it was transformed into a gingerbread and candy house from Hansel and Gretel. And the pub raises more than £25,000 a year for various good causes and organisations.
Flamboyant - Pride decorations
Tracey said: "New York New York is much more than a bar and club. It's a central club, not only for the LGBT community, but for anyone from any walk of life who does not want to be judged in any way. We pride ourselves on the impact we have on the local area."
Tracey said the £300 prize money would be added to the £2,107 the pub raised for the victims and families of the Manchester Arena bombing in the wake of the terrorist attack.
Tracey is now hoping the pub will impress the expert judging panel, who will decide which pub will be crowned the overall national champion – and receive a £5,000 prize.
She said if New York New York wins the top prize it would be used to help community groups have a space to meet. She said: "We would call it the Only Ordinary By Name suite with plush furnishing."
The overall winning pub will also get a visit from TV comic Paddy McGuinness, who will drop in for a pint of John Smith's to deliver the national prize.
Warm welcome - The pub's stylish bar
Take Me Out star Paddy has been fascinated by Britain's extraordinary pubs since his mum saw a ghost when she was working as a barmaid at Ye Olde Man and Scythe in Bolton.
So cheers, and good luck to New York New York.

Emily Haley: Still waiting for transplant 3-1/2 years later
By The Virginian-Pilot
By Christy Barritt
The Haley family is getting used to waiting.
It seems that's all the Hickory family has been doing lately - waiting for 13-year-old Emily to receive her double lung transplant.
She has cystic fibrosis and has been on the transplant waiting list for 3-1/2 years.
"It's just an extremely long process," said Ruth, Emily's mother. "We had no idea how long it would take. There's a real fine window where she has to be. She has to be sick enough but not too sick where she wouldn't make it through the surgery."
The family has a positive attitude despite the elapsed time.
"They improve on the surgery all the time so actually waiting may be hard, but in the long run it's going to be better," Ruth Haley said. "When she needs the surgery, definitely she's going to get it."
Two years ago, friends and family raised $500,000 for the transplant. The money is still sitting in an account, waiting for the day when they need it for Emily's surgery.
"That's just a huge relief off of our shoulders," Ruth Haley said.
In the meantime, Emily said she tries to live in the present.
"I'm not really waiting for (new lungs) too much," Emily said. "I'm pretty much just living now, and then I know that once I do get sick enough to actually need it, that I can get it and then I'll be better."
