Q: is there any way to import third party JS into mongoJS...? I am looking for a function to convert UTC timestamp to another timezone timestamp.
It needs two parameters,
utcTimestamp(1464891132) &
timezoneString("Asia/Kolkata")
function convertToTimeZone(utcTimestamp, timezoneString) {
      //do some operations and
    return "timestamp in given timezone";
}

I just checked link and found that there are some js libs, which solve that conversion problem, but now my problem is how can I import third party js to my mongoJS.
Or is there any patch or alternative to solve these problem in mongojs?
FYI I am using mongoJS from mongoshell....

Vioxx Plaintiff Takes the Stand in New Jersey Trial
Frederick "Mike" Humeston, a 60-year-old Idaho postal worker who suffered a heart attack while taking Vioxx, is suing Merck, contending that the drug maker hid Vioxx's risks in an effort to preserve sales.
He took the stand Wednesday in the third week of the New Jersey Vioxx trial.
Mr. Humeston stated that he had been in good health prior to his heart attack, and had turned to Vioxx to relieve pain from an old Vietnam War wound. He had taken the medication for about two months when he suffered a debilitating heart attack while sitting in an easy chair.
The plaintiff described the radical changes in his life after the heart attack, detailing a list of activities that he could no longer perform. Humeston said that his September 18, 2001 heart attack had even affected his relationship with his wife.
Merck withdrew Vioxx from the market in 2004 after studies showed that it raised the incidence of heart attacks and strokes. In the first Vioxx trial, a Texas jury awarded $253 million to the widow of a Vioxx user. Merck is appealing that decision, and has promised to fight each Vioxx case individually. However, analysts contend the company could face very significant legal liabilities and may have to consider a broad settlement if they continue to lose cases.
Before Mr. Humeston's testimony, Merck lawyers asked Superior Court Judge Carol Higbee to either declare a mistrial or strike the testimony of a prosecution witness, statistician Richard Kronmal. Merck contends that Mr. Kronmal's testimony unfairly inflamed the jury. The judge did not immediately rule on the request.

Review by Adam Woodward @AWLies
Jake Gyllenhaal Michelle Monaghan Vera Farmiga
Jake's on a train. Is Jones on a roll?
Stylish, fun and well-crafted, even if it is a bit silly.
Jones has hit the ground running, but there's no need for Nolan to watch his back just yet.
Duncan Jones has hit the ground running, but there's no need for Nolan to watch his back just yet.
He's gone wrangling in Wyoming, spearheaded a Saudi Desert Storm, toothcombed 1960s San Francisco and levelled up in ancient Persia. Now, Jake Gyllenhaal is trapped.
Just as Sam Rockwell played a lone protagonist on an unenviable mission in Duncan Jones' slow-burning 2009 space oddity, Moon, so Gyllenhaal finds himself swimming against the unrelenting tide of fate as Uncle Sam-loving Captain Colter Stevens in the British director's urgent sophomore feature.
The occasional stray shard of existentialism is all that is allowed to penetrate Source Code's heavily lacquered outer shell, but you get the sense that Jones is keen to emphasise a kinship between his two forsaken male leads. As Stevens takes on another man's identity in the last eight minutes of his life in order to track down and neutralise a terrorist en route to Chicago – where an imminent second attack is set to wipe the city off the map – Jones takes us deep within the recesses of the human psyche. Here Stevens' search for big answers is greeted by hard truths and the unavoidable acceptance that his mission is bigger than one man.
Every minor detail in the 'simulated' world he now inhabits (aka 'the Source Code') is of major significance, but with Colter asking the questions – "why eight minutes?" – we can't help but allow ourselves to be sucked into his shoes. While he's stuck on repeat, skipping between conscious and pseudo-conscious states like a dusty LP, we too begin to see things differently. As the clock ticks and clues come and go, this commuter wagon becomes haunting in its arbitrariness; the devastation to come echoed only the stress-torn face of its clued-in guardian.
Gyllenhaal's dramatic prowess is once again imperious, but his doe-eyed boyishness gives him a vulnerability that is absolutely crucial in establishing our initial doubt over his character's fortitude in the face of a predicament most would struggle to wrap their head around. Indeed, he is not just believable as a soldier, but as a son. Human and fallible.
On this note, while fragments of strained paternal bonds will come together to form a picture of our hero's past, it is the two women in his inadvertently adopted life that will determine his destiny. Michelle Monaghan is well cast as the big-hearted love interest, but it is Vera Farmiga as Stevens' real-world liaison who forms the more intimate connection. As Stevens is gradually awoken from his state of denial, the compassion forged in this complex relationship imbues Source Code with something that previously set Jones' debut apart from other flashbang blockbusters – soul.
Where Moon was made as a retort to the toothless disposability of mainstream cinema, Source Code is no more conspicuous about its influences. So while comparisons to Unstoppable and Groundhog Day are inevitable (you'll be half expecting the on-board announcer to exclaim, 'Please mind the gap, it's a doozy!'), Hitchcock and Scott (Ridley – early, not recent) are given the biggest nods.
Striking a balance between substance and spectacle was always going to be Jones' biggest challenge here, but it's one that he has risen to admirably, even if the sparks of originality and staunch pragmatism that rocketed Moon up Top 10 lists two years ago have been noticeably dulled. That Source Code is not the vanity project it might have been will be greeted with a collective sigh of relief from Jones' fan base. But audiences are fickle. The Moon bubble has long since popped, and Jones had little option but to hit the ground running.
All things considered, what's truly refreshing is that there's nothing ostentatious in Source Code's scope or execution – it's not watertight, but it's fun, economical and, most importantly, never dull. And while the inevitable happy ending shows that Jones is still some way off earning complete creative autonomy on a production of this scale, a last gasp bombshell suggests that he's at least got the cojones to leave his mark where it matters.
Jones may have passed his first real Hollywood test with merit, but he has wisely avoided trying to make this his calling card movie. Here's betting he'll be back with something more personal and profound in 2012.
Moon is a thoughtful but imperfect sci-fi alternative to the brain-dead blockbusters that dominate the summer.

Despite the silly names and cheesy nerdism there's plenty of fun to be had in Duncan Jones' video game adaptation.

A bug-eyed Jake Gyllenhaal goes full Rupert Pupkin in this eminently creepy satire on the hysteria of rolling TV news.

Johann Friedrich Alberti (11 January 1642 – 14 June 1710) was a German composer and organist.

Alberti was born in Tönning, Schleswig.  He received his musical training in Leipzig from Werner Fabricius and in Dresden from Vincenzo Albrici. Then he worked as an organist in Merseburg cathedral until his departure in 1698 caused by the paralysis of his right hand because of a stroke. His pupil Georg Friedrich Kauffmann succeeded him as a princely Saxon townsman and cathedral organist at the court of the Saxon duke and Merseburg Cathedral.

Alberti's works include chorale preludes, 35 choral arrangements, 12 ricercati (lost) and various sacred works.  He died, aged 68, in Merseburg, Saxony-Anhalt.

Putting a Price on Influencer Marketing
Influencer marketing is all the rage these days but what should brand marketers pay in exchange for a Twitter tweet or a Facebook post?
Social Bluebook has announced the availability of a search function in its platform that will allow companies to evaluate what to pay an influencer for branded content.
Social Bluebook's new search functionality allows brands to research and evaluate creators and social influencers through the firm's proprietary online platform, empowering them with timely data regarding audience demographics, level of engagement, average views, audience comments and more.
"Brands are looking for ways to apply real-world dollar values to everything from a product or service mention to a multi-channel marketing campaign with a social media star on YouTube, Instagram, Facebook or Twitter," said Chad Sahley, founder and CEO of Social Bluebook. "Until now, influencers and brands relied on limited data, or a gut feeling in a rapidly-changing media landscape, and companies had no real starting point for negotiations with social media talent."


Happy Birthday, The Dan!!! Looking forward to your next visit to the Brewing Network's studio "D".
P.S. how about a Gordon Biersch in New England?
Happy Birthday! Thanks for all the tremendous support that you and Gordon Biersch provide to University events in the SF Bay Area. I know that you were a Berkeley grad, but you've been very generous to Stanford, as well. Hope you have a fantastic 50th!
Dan Gordon – one of the giants of the craft brew industry and among the most eloquent and interesting people in any industry – a true Renaissance Man. He also makes some damn tasty lagers!
brewery and start brewing Czech/German lagers.
Thanks again and enjoy life in Beer World!!!
We're going to the SJ GB tonight to help support the autism cause. Maybe we'll see you there.
Happy Birthday to The Dan!!
I stopped drinking Gordon Biersch after they strong-armed Oskar Blues. There's enough great beer out there not to support jackass corporate "business" practices. Too bad because I like Dan.
Happy Birthday, Big Dan. You and Dean are both class acts. And your San Jose brewery tour rocks!
3 years in a row….hell why not?!?!
I hope he's having a good chuckle over the fact that the GB site on SF's Embarcadero that a greedy landlord forced them to vacate last yr is still empty (passed it twice mid-late Aug on the light rail on my way to Giant games).
Just at the GB downtown, had a great time. Happy beerday!!!


A senior Pastor of the Awaiting The Second Coming Of Jesus Christ Gospel Church in Akure, Pastor Adewale Giwa on Friday said President Muhammadu Buhari has stopped functioning well since he returned from the United Kingdom medical vacation last year.
Giwa, who stated this in a statement to DAILY POST, said he was not surprised to see President Buhari not answering questions correctly or responding effectively while talking or asking him to do something.
President Buhari, who is running for re-election in February next month, spent five months in British hospital last year and was being treated for an undisclosed ailment.
However, Pastor Giwa said, " President Buhari doesn't recognize his political associates by names. It is just unfortunate that the majority of Nigerians don't pay attention at all.
"Buhari has ceased to be responding well after his trip from the UK. You can see some people doubting his identity and all that. The person in Aso rock is Buhari, but he does not know what is going on around him anymore.
"Some hypocrites who do not want to loose their positions are the ones stage- managing the president. Should we continue this way?
"Nigeria, in all comity of nations should not be witnessing this embarrassment. Some African nations under Nigeria are now making jest of us.
"I have always said it that we don't need Buhari or Atiku to govern Nigeria. All we need is to start at fresh with a vibrant and young Nigeria.

The Peak of the Most Ambitious Movie Franchise
Posted byBrad Miller April 30, 2019 April 30, 2019 Posted inComedy, Popular, Reviews, Superhero FlicksTags:Avengers, avengers: endgame, captain america, endgame, franchise, iron man, movie, movie review, review
In 2008, when Iron Man released I'm sure that no one saw this franchise becoming as big as it has become. Now 11 years later the hype that was built up for Avengers: Endgame is unavoidable. There is no escape if you have a social media account or are around people often since the announcement of the fourth Avengers film the public have made their excitement known.
The idea of having a movie franchise composed of over 20 films all to culminate into one huge event has never been done before. To keep the interest of the public for years and years is a feat in its own right. For the fans, it is my belief that Avengers: Endgame is the event of a lifetime.
After Tony Stark's battle with Thanos in Avengers: Infinity War he has drifted aimlessly in space. With not much oxygen in his ship and lack of food, the end seems near. On Earth, the remaining Avengers Captain America, Thor, Black Widow, and Bruce Banner are tasked with finding a way to retrieve the allies they lost because of the infinity stones that Thanos wields.
After spending all of these years assembling the Avengers it has paid off with what I would say the definitive superhero film. I couldn't imagine a replacement for any member of the MCU. The actors & actresses picked for their roles expertly portrayed their characters. Before these films, many audiences had no interest in the majority of the superheroes Marvel had under their belt.
Depending on how invested you are in these films will determine how much you enjoy Avengers: Endgame. While I think this film can be enjoyed alone without seeing previous entries the development that most characters received will not be known to that individual. Not one hero is the exact same person they were when they debuted.
The Array of Emotions
To not mention the flurry of emotions that one goes through when attached to these characters would be a crime. There will be times where you laugh, feel tense, be filled with excitement, or maybe even cry. At no point was I hoping that the film went by faster and that's because they kept me engaged.
To keep the audience engaged for three hours is no easy task and with that being said the Russo brothers did it expertly. In a film this long there will be slow moments that aren't necessarily filled with action. Even in these instants a little or a batch of jokes kept most people entertained throughout.
Some films can't manage to make a movie funny while the protagonist has to engage the enemy. Marvel knows their audience and it shows since the different moods never ruin a scene throughout the motion picture.
Expectation Subversion
Without diving into spoilers what you expect to happen probably isn't what actually develops. This goes for much of the film, not just the story. The superhero genre needs more of this. Many superhero films boil down to superhero battles the villain and the hero succeeds in the end. Because of this, it has made the general audience believe all of these films are exactly the same which the MCU has proven is not true.
A Love Letter to the Fans
The creators, actors, actresses, and everyone who was involved in this project want the fans to enjoy this film. They want to reward the fandom and they do in the best way possible. Avengers: Endgame is a great movie but it's a fantastic payoff of what's come so far. This is much more than a movie it was a monumental event that has been talked about around the world for weeks. It leaves me thinking how in the world can they top this already marvelous peak.
This is the first movie franchise of this scale and that has had this much success in the movie industry since it's inception. Avengers: Endgame will leave audiences in shock at how many emotions they express while watching the epic. Your expectations will be subverted and in the best ways possible. Finally, This passion project not only promises to please fans of the MCU but even stands its own ground as a motion picture.

Great Partnerships: MNHS and tpt!
a night of great programming featuring MNHS co-productions with tpt!
War can strain the bonds of love. No one understood that better than Minnesotans Madison and Lizzie Bowler. During the American Civil War, Madison and Lizzie courted, married, became parents, and bought a farm. They attended dances, talked politics, and confided their deepest fears. Because of the war, however, they experienced all of these events separately, sharing them through hundreds of letters. Discover how Madison and Lizzie maintained their steadfast commitment to one another, even as they struggled to balance extraordinary duty and distance with ordinary life and love in time of war.
Written by Minnesota playwright Victoria Stewart, this original play is based on the Bowlers' letters, held in the Minnesota Historical Society's collection and published in the 2008 MHS Press book Go If You Think It Your Duty by Andrea R. Foroughi. It is directed by Ivey Award-winner Craig Johnson, with popular and award-winning local actors Peter Hansen, Anna Sundberg, Dietrich Poppen, and Abby DeSanto. The play features live performances of Civil War-era music with original musical direction by James Lekatz.
There are two show times: Saturday, April 6, at 2 p.m. or Tuesday, April 9, at 7 p.m. Cost is $15 or $11 for MHS members. Advance purchase is required and can be made by calling 651-259-3015 or online.
This program is made possible with support from the Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund, voted into law by the people of Minnesota in 2008.

I enjoyed George Killough's review of Brother of Mine and appreciated his astute reading of the Christie brothers' letters. He also raised a well-founded point of criticism with which I basically agree. He asked why all 275 letters were not included in the book. Following from that question, he wondered how I chose one letter as opposed to another. I'd like to take this opportunity to describe my editorial method.
As the MHS Press staff will attest, I, too, wanted to publish more of the letters. I transcribed and annotated the whole lot, so it was painful to omit any of them. But publishing is a business, and its economics do not favor very large books, unless you can be sure of selling a great many of them. So I surrendered to the necessity of cutting down the manuscript's size.
I selected letters based on several criteria. Since Thomas and William often wrote at about the same time regarding the same events, I sometimes cut one letter if it essentially duplicated the other. In cases where one brother had a different perspective on events or added information not mentioned by the other, both letters were used. I also tried to see the letters as a kind of narrative of the First Minnesota Battery. Letters that concerned mostly family matters or otherwise did not contribute to the story of the battery were candidates for cutting. Long letters on fairly narrow topics also went. An example of the latter: a four-page epistle from Thomas to his father describing in great detail the procedures for sentries at Benton Barracks. All the minutiae of guard mount are there and it is a fascinating letter (to me at least), but I had to part with it. Similarly there are a number of letters regarding the proceedings of the Union Literary Society in Vicksburg, including verbatim minutes of meetings. Although they offer an unusual glimpse at the intellectual life of Union soldiers, I did not include all of them.
In general, most of the letters cut were written while the brothers were in camp for long periods of time, including at Fort Snelling, Benton Barracks, Lake Providence, and Vicksburg. I tended to include those that discussed significant events, like major battles or incidents such as the destruction of the steamer Madison, which William described in detail. I also tried to balance these with a selection of writings describing camp life, family relations, and political opinions. But, given that soldiers spent far more time drilling in camp than fighting in the field, a larger number of the camp letters were left out.
Finally, I selected letters that seemed to reflect the writer's personality: William's self-mockery of his writing style and lack of grammar, or Thomas's reflections on his religious beliefs, for example.
I hope readers will find the letters entertaining as well as instructive and will enjoy the company of Thomas and William Christie as much as I did.

Why is Canada's bill C-16 believed to be legislating pronoun use?
The Canadian bill C-16 ("An Act to amend the Canadian Human Rights Act and the Criminal Code") has been the subject of heated debate and controversy. I admit I hadn't followed it very closely, but I've seen many articles and videos discussing that it somehow made not addressing someone with their preferred pronoun illegal (e.g. here).
Today, I finally read what I think is the text of the bill and its accompanying analysis from the official site of the Canadian parliament and, as far as I can tell, all this bill is doing is adding gender identity to the list of reasons for which one should not be discriminated against.
So, why all this discussion about pronouns? I saw no mention of pronouns there nor any text that would suggest that intentionally not using someone's preferred pronoun could be considered illegal1. So why has so much of the negative reaction to the bill been centered around the concepts of free speech and misgendering people? Is there more text that I haven't found? Am I missing certain implications of the bill's language? Where does pronoun choice come into it?
1This question is not about whether that should or not be illegal so let's please not get into that here. I am only asking whether this specific bill is actually offering any legal grounds on which such pronoun use could be prosecuted.
human-rights canada legislation discrimination gender
terdonterdon
This appears to be asking a legal question, on the proper interpretation of a certain bill. Should be moved to the legal S.E. – James K Jun 17 '17 at 18:58
This has become a partisan issue to some degree. Conservative "free speech" vs Liberal "Human rights" as they like to label it. A little reference material of the two sides torontoist.com/2017/05/… vs the conservative leader maximebernier.com/… – Twelfth Oct 19 '17 at 17:25
There is no factual basis for the claim that incorrect pronoun use will lead to negative consequences.
The bill does two things:
It adds gender identity or expression as protected classes under the Canadian Human Rights Act
It adds gender identity or expression as protected classes to the criminal code, specifically to a section about hate propaganda and to provisions about sentencing hate crimes.
Regarding 1., there has to be an actual discriminatory act (such as refusing housing or services), it is not enough to express an opinion or use wrong pronouns.
Regarding 2., to be convicted of hate propaganda, one has to actually, intentionally, incite hatred or promote genocide, so it doesn't apply.
The Canadian Bar Association agrees with this assessment:
Recently, the debate has turned to whether the amendments will force individuals to embrace concepts, even use pronouns, which they find objectionable. This is a misunderstanding of human rights and hate crimes legislation.
Those concerned that they could be criminalized for their repugnant or offensive ideas fail to understand a crucial distinction in the law. As the Supreme Court of Canada has explained:
The distinction between the expression of repugnant ideas and expression which exposes groups to hatred is crucial to understanding the proper application of hate speech prohibitions.
The amendment to the CHRA will not compel the speech of private citizens
Brenda Cossman - a professor of law - agrees with this assessment:
I don't think there's any legal expert that would say that [this] would meet the threshold for hate speech in Canada
"The misuse of pronouns is not equivalent to advocating genocide in any conceivable manner," she continues. "If he advocated genocide against trans people, he would be in violation, but misusing pronouns is not what that provision of the code is about."
The idea that incorrect pronoun usage would become illegal seems to have originated from Jordan Peterson, who is not an expert in law, but a professor of psychology.
-1. Universities alreay have rules for punishing people for thinking and saying wrong things, up to the discretion of whoever feels offended. This includes using wrong pronouns. Your answer asserts that this won't happen, based on a personal opinion of 2 lawyers expressed as a news bulletin (NOT a legal opinion in court upheld by a judge). – user4012 Jun 17 '17 at 14:01
@user4012 please don't shift the focus of the question. I am simply and only asking whether this specific bill actually includes any language that could be used to prosecute people for using one pronoun instead of another. University rules have absolutely nothing to do with national legislation and what one can be prosecuted for in national courts. And that's not the opinion of two lawyers, it's the official position of the Canadian Bar Association which was represented by those two lawyers in a senate hearing. – terdon Jun 17 '17 at 14:05
There is obviously not going to be a legal opinion from a judge for a law that hasn't passed yet. This is the official assessment of the canadian bar association and a professor of law, replying to the opinion of a professor of psychology. There doesn't seem to be any authority on the subject which actually agrees with his assessment. Regarding existing university rules: how is that relevant? If you want to DV because you disagree with the answer politically, feel free to do so. Your stated reasons do not make sense though. – tim Jun 17 '17 at 14:05
I'm no expert in Canadian law, but couldn't the employment discrimination prohibitions mean that someone could argue that a co-worker refusing to use a preferred pronoun amounts to discrimination? In the US, someone might use a law like this to argue that there was a discriminatory "hostile work environment" that the employer needs to correct (by punishing the employees not using the pronoun.) – D M Jun 17 '17 at 19:01
@DM my thoughts, too... there are two levels to this, someone making an occasional mistake because of habit (if the trans person was known previously) or mistake; and someone deliberately chosing to ignore the gender change (either by belief or to harass the trans person). In the later it should not be different that someone chosing to call me "Miss" despite myself being a man and ignoring my requests and warnings to not use that style. But of course some people will present it as the former in order to confuse the public, for the reason tim stated in his answer. – SJuan76 Jun 18 '17 at 14:31
I think anyone reading the laws the bill modifies could reasonably come to that conclusion.
According to the text of the Canadian Human Rights Act:
It is a discriminatory practice, directly or indirectly... in the course of employment, to differentiate adversely in relation to an employee, on a prohibited ground of discrimination.
It is a discriminatory practice in the provision of goods, services, facilities or accommodation customarily available to the general public... to differentiate adversely in relation to any individual, on a prohibited ground of discrimination.
It is a discriminatory practice, in the provision of goods, services, facilities or accommodation customarily available to the general public... or in matters related to employment, to harass an individual on a prohibited ground of discrimination.
It could easily be argued that using an "incorrect" pronoun means they are "differentiating adversely" in relation to that employee and/or customer.
According to the Canadian Bar Association, the pronoun use debate is a "misunderstanding", but they also say:
In federally regulated workplaces, services, accommodation, and other areas covered by the CHRA, it will constrain unwanted, persistent behaviour (physical or verbal) that offends or humiliates individuals on the basis of their gender identity or expression.
But using a "wrong" pronoun could easily "offend" someone, it would be "unwanted", and it would be "persistent" unless people changed which pronouns they say.
There's also this section in the Canadian Human Rights Act:
(1) Subject to subsection (2), any act or omission committed by an officer, a director, an employee or an agent of any person, association or organization in the course of the employment of the officer, director, employee or agent shall, for the purposes of this Act, be deemed to be an act or omission committed by that person, association or organization.
(2) An act or omission shall not, by virtue of subsection (1), be deemed to be an act or omission committed by a person, association or organization if it is established that the person, association or organization did not consent to the commission of the act or omission and exercised all due diligence to prevent the act or omission from being committed and, subsequently, to mitigate or avoid the effect thereof.
The effect of that is, an employer is going to be held responsible for the actions of its employees unless they take "all due diligence" to prevent the action. If one employee refuses to use the preferred pronoun of another employee (or customer), I'm not sure how a company could avoid needing to discipline the employee for not using the pronoun.
It's true that nobody can actually order them to fire the employee:
No order that is made under subsection 53(2) may contain a term requiring the removal of an individual from a position if that individual accepted employment in that position in good faith.
But that barely matters. The company is going to be facing liability if they employ both people, and it's legally prohibited to retaliate against the one making the complaint, so guess who is going to get the boot.
And finally, I note this section:
In addition to any order under subsection (2), the member or panel may order the person to pay such compensation not exceeding twenty thousand dollars to the victim as the member or panel may determine if the member or panel finds that the person is engaging or has engaged in the discriminatory practice wilfully or recklessly.
The prospect of increased punishment for willful or reckless discrimination implies that behavior which is neither willful nor reckless can also be punished, just not with the enhancement. This is likely to make companies paranoid.
It's true that this mostly applies only at work - however, we're at work for a rather large portion of our waking hours.

I wouldn't have answered this if it was posted in Law.SE asking what the actual effect of the bill would be, since I know very little about Canadian law. But this is in Politics, specifically asking about perceptions, which is different. Even if the legal analysis turns out to be totally wrong, people are going to be thinking like this. – D M Jul 6 '17 at 3:20
Could it "easily" be interpreted that way? Not logically, IMO, but if you're actively looking for an excuse to be offended, I suppose anything is easy (see USA examples of "War on Christmas," etc). Nice job citing actual passages in the legislation and breaking them out. – PoloHoleSet Nov 17 '17 at 14:30
Contrary to another answer, there's by now actual evidence that the bill has led to actual negative consequences.
Lindsay Shepherd, a TA at Wilfrid Laurier University in Canada, was reprimanded by the universitry, NOT for even using the wrong pronoun, but simply for using the youtube clip during a lecture which showed a debate about usage of pronouns (and specifically, for not telling the students that one of the positions in the debate is 'wrong'.
A full account of the event can be found on Rubin Report episode "Lindsay Shepherd LIVE: Free Speech Battle with Laurier University", and a full recording of the interrogation session - in which the university officials very specifically cited C-16!!! - is also available on Youtube (although I hesitate to link that to avoid being flagged, in case the link is to the "wrong" channel. One of Canada's newspapers published a full transcript as well:
Rambukkana: So the thing about this is, if you're presenting something like this, you have to think about the kind of teaching climate that you're creating. And this is actually, these arguments are counter to the Canadian Human Rights Code. Even since … C-16, ever since this passed, it is discriminatory to be targeting someone due to their gender identity or gender expression.
I'm sorry but I don't want to sit through a one-hour video to understand. Do you have any official documents showing that the bill was relevant? Bear in mind that the bill does not in any way affect the rules of a university, so even if it were cited, that would not be an argument for (or against) the bill's being an attempt to legislate pronoun use which is what this question is about. – terdon Dec 2 '17 at 18:26
@terdpn the quote is from the transcript of the video. – user4012 Dec 2 '17 at 18:33
Yes, but how does that make an argument for whether or not the bill itself was an attempt to legislate pronoun use? That some random university official may have quoted the bill to support their views does not mean the bill itself had any text that was a direct attempt to legislate pronoun use. My question was not about "negative consequences". It is very specifically asking whether the bill itself can be construed as an attempt to legislate pronoun use. – terdon Dec 2 '17 at 18:44
All of this is true and even interesting but not what this question is about. My question is about how this bill can be interpreted to be legislating pronoun use. At best, this answer is just giving an (admittedly interesting) example of a random person's interpretation. As I told you last time you brought universities into it, I am asking about the state not non-governmental institutions. They have their own rules. – terdon Dec 2 '17 at 20:27
@terdon - the university wording sounded like they are following the law, not their own rules. Absent an actual court case, you can only speculate how the courts will rule - but people sitting on Canadian courts (based on prior free speech cases) seem to have mindset quite similar to quoted professor; so there is no reason they wouldn't use exactly same logic as that professor. The ONLY contrary info would be if the law explicitly contradicted such logic - and as I said in earlier comment, it very deliberately was NOT amended not to. Or if the court ruled a precedent stating the same. – user4012 Dec 2 '17 at 20:38

Chasing a lifetime of health with nurse/marathoner Chinedu Ogueri
Dec 7, 2020 | LivOn Lifestyle
Chinedu Ogueri didn't wait for a global pandemic to center his life around health. The pediatric/geriatric nurse and marathoner often starts his day at 5am with a 3–6 mile run to stay mentally and physically healthy. Morning runs aren't a chore or an obligation. They're part of how Chinedu is "trying to maximize as much healthy living as possible."
After a post-run hot shower, Chinedu cooks his breakfast, packs his lunch, and pops some Lypo-Spheric® Vitamin C and Magnesium L-Threonate. Home cooking healthy meals is a priority for the marathoner with a parental history of high blood pressure, specifically a father who didn't prioritize healthy eating or an active lifestyle. When Chinedu was a senior in high school, he commented on his father's plate of bacon. "Can I live?" His father asked. Apparently not for much longer. The next day, he was dead from a heart attack.
That tragedy isn't what launched Chinedu's lifelong commitment to health and fitness. Competing in track did that. As a high school freshman and runner, he realized that a healthier diet was vital to his performance on the track. His passion for running spurred other improvements.
"It helped keep me focused on school work and helped me break out of my shell. I was always a shy kid and running gave me a voice," Chinedu says. Now he's part of Adidas Runners NYC, a running group which met on a regular basis pre-pandemic for treks around the city. Fellow LivOn Labs ambassador Sabrina Wieser is also a member.
Running, and just moving around outside, are still a vital part of his daily routine, but as a geriatric and pediatric nurse in New York City during a pandemic, he's a little busy these days. Most days he works with kids at a pediatric clinic and occasionally sees the elderly in a nursing home over the weekends. He tries to fit in a 30-minute walk after breaking to eat his packed lunch.
"My work life has changed dramatically! Many weeks at a time, I've noticed I do get burned out with lack of sleep but I've been managing." Lypo-Spheric® Magnesium L-Threonate has helped.
"I have a hard time sleeping and after a good week of taking the magnesium, I do notice I fall asleep faster and I wake up feeling less tired," Chinedu says.
Another vital component is heading out for a second run after work to "mentally relax." While accumulating 25–35 miles every week may seem daunting, running is calming to Chinedu since its been a constant in his life since childhood.
"As far as I can remember I've always been running. If not at the park I was racing other kids in my neighborhood. In high school I did track and field which I loved to death."
After cutting down to just one to two neighborhood jogs a week during college, his passion for the sport reignited after watching the NYC marathon on TV.
"I was like one day I want to attempt this feat. 2-3 years later I ran my first marathon. It wasn't NYC, but it made me see that I was lot tougher mentally and physically than what I had known," he says.
He may not be training for any races right now, but as the cliches go, now more than ever, he knows how important it is to maintain those activities that have kept him physically and mentally healthy. Staying in shape to train for eventual races is a huge part of that.
"Being mentally and physically fit has been vital in me staying healthy. life is stressful as it is and this pandemic didn't help but running and cooking has helped me de-stress and gather my thoughts."
Working with the young and old, 33-year-old Chinedu sees "life, health, and living" through many different perspectives. That's why it's so important for him to spread his knowledge about healthy living habits that work. That includes sharing his knowledge about exercise, nutrition, mindset, and products he believes in, like Lypo-Spheric supplements, on his Instagram account @nedu77.
"Before LivOn Labs, I was not a fan of meds and supplements. Maybe because as a nurse I'm always giving out medication and supplements. But with their products I actually feel the difference and I see the results."
A global pandemic is no time to be sick. So, Chinedu is running, cooking, drinking plenty of water, washing his hands, arriving to work with several masks, and trying to "maintain a positive attitude no matter the situation," an attitude which his hopes is more infectious than any disease.
"My goal in life is to instill positive health, fitness and cooking knowledge to others. I'm not the best but I think I know enough to help others. Running and cooking are my hobbies and I am more than willing to train and give people cooking tips. As they say, health is wealth and I'm trying to maximize as much healthy living as possible."

Sabrina Wieser: Training for Cancelled Marathons
Jun 11, 2020 | LivOn Lifestyle
How a NYC marathon runner is enduring and training for cancelled races during a difficult spring. Read the profile of LivOn Labs ambassador Sabrina Wieser.


« Done: Removed all the gladness!
The attachment for the strap for my balance pack tore on the second day: Replaced under warranty.
A marsupial gnawed through sections of my balance pack's front webbing pockets: Sandi fixed by darning.
The V44 battery gradually stopped charging. Initially we thought it was the battery, but after Voltaic sent out a new V44 and connections it turned out to be the $6 connector: Replaced under warranty.
Somehow bent them into a shape that was not going to work on my face, and then managed to break the arm off trying to correct the shape. New glasses bought (interestingly, my optometrist said that my right eye was 20-20 (having improved over the walk).
We originally bought our Buffs down at Paddy Pallin in Jindabyne the day before our Kosciuszko Hut Tour last autumn. They've been pretty good, but we thought that we should upgrade to merino. Purchased Merino Buff.
It's a little bit hard to know if Brenda L Braaten's Snacking theory worked wonders or not… we certainly kept going OK, but we did have a lot of our Track Snacks left over, so I've reduced the amount to 25g of carbohydrate each hour.

Slice brings its online shopping organization app to the iPhone
Colleen Taylor Nov 15, 2011 - 5:30 AM CST
Slice, the web service that organizes all of a user's online shopping information in one place, has launched its first iPhone(s AAPL) app.
As my colleague Ryan Kim reported back in when the company's web app first launched under the name "Project Slice," the service plugs into Gmail (s GOOG) and Yahoo (s YHOO) email accounts and pulls out all a user's relevant online shopping information — online receipts, shipping notices, return policies and daily deals information — and organizes it all in one place. The new iPhone app, which is totally free to download and use, will let people access their Slice accounts while they're out and about.
Slice CEO Scott Brady put it this way in the press release accompanying the iPhone app launch:
"With Slice at your fingertips, you're never left guessing if a package made it or what size dress you bought your daughter last year. Slice for the iPhone is the first and only mobile app that allows you to easily track in-progress shipments and quickly access your purchase history with all your favorite merchants."
There's no doubt that Slice is solving first-world problems, but with more people shopping online now than ever before, its offering can be very useful for lots of folks out there. According to the company, Slice has processed information from more than four million purchases since its debut in May.
The move to the iPhone (s AAPL) is of course a smart one, as it's always helpful to have more information available on a mobile device, especially when it comes to shopping, which is something that's often done on the go. The Palo Alto, Calif.-based company is backed with $9.4 million in venture capital, so it will certainly be interesting to see what other features and announcements Slice has in the works in the weeks and months ahead.

Lots of my clients have had different experiences with trainers who might have good technical expertise but for whatever reason, advise them that they need to eat meat to make progress.
If you want to work with a trainer who understands the vegan or vegetarian lifestyles, you can work with me in Kilburn or Westminster.

Q: Items can't be added to an array I am trying to get data from database using the callback method "getAllOrdersByUserId". The results of it are below:
[ TextRow {
    DishOrderId: 163,
    BagId: 'BPZDXT68148',
    DateCreated: 2021-05-27T03:55:05.000Z,
    Bags:
     '[{"DishId":43,"DishName":"Kuchvi Biryani","Spicy":2,"UnitPrice":"6.99","Qty":5,"DishTotal":"34.95"}]',
    },
  TextRow {
    DishOrderId: 162,
    BagId: 'BNJENZ08608',
    DateCreated: 2021-05-27T03:46:26.000Z,
    Bags:
     '[{"DishId":41,"DishName":"Dum Biryani","Spicy":2,"UnitPrice":"6.99","Qty":5,"DishTotal":"34.95"}, {"DishId":42,"DishName":"Tysoon Biryani","Spicy":2,"UnitPrice":"6.99","Qty":5,"DishTotal":"34.95"}',
    } ]

I am trying to fetch few attributes from the above along with "Bags". But one important thing that i wanted to fetch is Url for the image of the dishes which is not specified in the "Bags" so i am parsing the "Bags" and running through loop to get the "DishId" which will be used to fetched the urls of image from another method with callback name getDishesByDishIds. The DishIds fetched are below:
[43]

[41, 42]

The method getDIshesByDishIds would fetch below results for above dish Ids when run through for loops:
[ TextRow {
    DishId: 43,

    DishImageUrl1:
     'http://192.168.86.104:1111/images/dishImageUrl1_1602546024189.JPG'
 } ]

 [ TextRow {
    DishId: 41,
    DishImageUrl1:
     'http://192.168.86.104:1111/images/dishImageUrl1_1602546024190.JPG'
 },
  TextRow {
    DishId: 42,
    DishImageUrl1:
     'http://192.168.86.104:1111/images/dishImageUrl1_1602546024191.JPG'
} ]

The real issue i am facing is I am not getting the exact result as per shown below. The main problem i am facing is even though i am able to fetch the url for the dishes , i am not able to add the Urls to the final result as shown below:
{
    "success": 1,

Sorry for the long post, but I will really appreciate whoever wanted to help me because I am stuck here since few days.

A: Disclaimer
Forgive me... I wrote this late night after an already LONG day at work...
I have no confidence in this code. It is untested, and is written very poorly. Probably won't work.
But...
I'm hopeful it gets you in the right direction at least.

Previously published in the Essex Sisters Official Companion Guide (e only).
Elias Hempleworth-Gray has one thing and one thing only of value—his title, Earl of Leyton. Determined to leave England and the scandal of his gambler father behind, Elias hopes to turn his fortunes around and come back a respectable man to claim the only woman for him, Miss Penelope White. But Penny has other plans for the man she has loved all her life…plans that include a masquerade, a stolen kiss and a lost shoe.
Previously published in the Fairy Tale sampler (print only).
When she was sixteen, Miss Violet Leighton spent one blissful month romping around her family estate with Rothwell Talcott…thirty days of shared kisses, culminating in a very illicit afternoon in a berry patch. As Rothwell leaves for his grand tour, he gives his word of honor that he will return for her. Four years and seven refused proposals later, Violet is about to give up and marry when he finally returns. Now the Duke of Cambridge, Rothwell wants to make her his duchess. But how can Violet trust the man who stole her virtue—and then broke her heart?
Previously published in The Ugly Duchess (print only).
A KISS AT MIDNIGHT by Eloisa James to be won.
This book was a sweet little collection of three previously released short stories.
Midsummer Night's Disgrace, 4 stars: Cecilia Bellingworth is tired of being a wallflower and being overlooked because of her brother. She decides that enough is enough, armed with a new gown and a new attitude, she is ready to create a scandal, be declared ruined and retire to the country with her brother and her violin. What better way to do that than to flirt with the hired help? Cecilia has decided that the handsome pianist at the musicale is the perfect man for her, not only is he talented, but he was watching her the entire performance. The pianist is none other than her childhood nemesis, Theo, the Duke of Ormond. Theo is nothing like the boy she remembers, but he has never forgotten her or loved another.
At Midnight, 4.5 stars: Elias Hempleworth-Gray is clever, handsome, an earl and poor as a church mouse. He has been in love with Penelope White for as long as he can remember, but tonight his best friend Reggie is going to propose to her – Elias would love nothing better than to marry Penny, but he is poor and she is an heiress and a man has his pride. When Reggie rips his only jacket which forces him to wear a costume to the masquerade ball, Elias figures he can at least dance with his love without causing gossip. A dance leads to a kiss and then just before midnight, Elias leaves the ball, unable to bear watching his friend propose to his love. This was a fun twist on Cinderella and of course, has a HEA.
Ever After, 4 stars: Violet Leighton is in her fourth season and has turned down no less than seven marriage proposals. No man measures up to her true love, Rothwell Talcott, the new Duke of Cambridge, the problem is Rothwell left four years ago and other than two very short letters right after he left, she hasn't heard from him. But all that will change tonight, the duke is back and wants to pick up where they left off, he just has to get Violet to forgive him and understand that she is the only woman for him.
This book also has a teaser for the upcoming Too Wilde to Wed, the next book in the Wildes of Lindow Castle series, which looks fantastic!
I enjoyed this book, the stories were very short, but they were all well done and each couple has a history together, so their love stories seem believable. None of the stories are overly steamy, but they are warmer than I expected (yeah!).
I would be happy to recommend this book and am looking forward to reading Too Wilde to Wed when it comes out later this year.
I LOVE Eloisa's HRs! Her writing style makes her books a sure win. I'm not a short story girl, but I may have to pick this one up.


Decided to add one more photo, this is from Saturday. On Friday afternoon and evening it was snowing and we got the runway covered with snow. On Sunday it was almost gone but we got some more on Sunday evening.
However, it's been a few weeks with almost no snow at all. We're supposed to have at least half a meter at this time of the year and temperatures well below zero.
Global warming - a threat to ski-flying?
On Sunday, 23rd of March, again, I went for a short flight trip. Just a few touch-and-go's at local forest lakes. Then just sight-seeing. Nice to see how the spring approaches.
On Saturday, the 22nd of March, we departed to Lake Oulujärvi with three aircrafts. Lake Oulujärvi is one of the largest lakes in Finland, located approximately 80km east of the city of Oulu.
A large island, Manamansalo, splits the lake in two main pools. The island itself is known of its beaches and pine forests and is a popular place for camping. We landed in front of a small harbour and went for a warm coffee in the local village store.
The guys continued further east but I decided to return as sun was melting our runway and as I'm flying on plain skis only, gotta find some snow..
On my way back I had a stop and a few touch-and-go's at EFVL, which is an old WWII airbase with 800m gravel runway.
From EFKH continued to Lake Juolunkajärvi, 30km north-east, stayed over night and continued to Lake Kiantajärvi, further 80km north, where we put the plane on wheels. Take-off from lake ice with no problem! Then back to Oulu, to EFAH, our home airfield.
On Saturday, March 15th, I flew into Kuhmo, about 200km to the east to participate in a winter flying event!
Despite the excellent weather I was the only visitor on Saturday.

Mueller Believes Manafort Kept Lying to Get a Pardon
February 11, 2019 at 12:22 pm EDT By Taegan Goddard Leave a Comment
Last week's release of the court transcript of a pre-sentencing hearing shows that special counsel Robert Mueller's team was deeply concerned that Paul Manafort – after he had pleaded guilty and agreed to cooperate them – continued to lie in hopes of receiving a pardon from President Trump, TPM reports.
As prosecutor Andrew Weissmann explained to U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson regarding why the government decided that Manafort has breached his plea agreement, "there was an unusual factor."

A UK-German Connection
Earlier this month, I went to Berlin with the organisation UK-German Connection, which aims to promote interaction between young German and British people.
There I attended a four day long seminar on 'Sustainable Consumption', covering topics such as fashion, food and travel. The attendees discussed what the limitations
to sustainability are and how to reduce their environmental impact, as well as having the chance to visit sustainable fashion designers based in Neukoelln, the borough
of Berlin where the participants were staying. There was also the opportunity to visit some early Christmas markets and take photos at the Brandenburg Gate.
The seminar concluded with a presentation at the British Embassy, at which I was one of the keynote speakers on sustainable fashion.
We had the opportunity to speak to experts in various fields, including the Head of Sustainability for Uniqlo Germany and the WWF officer for sustainable consumption.
Daphne Pleming, U6
Head of German, Jutta Gumpricht-Kim says "This was a fantastic achievement and an incredible opportunity for Daphne. She was chosen as one of 30 students from the UK to participate in this seminar on fashion and sustainability, which was sponsored by UK-German Connection."

What's the deal with Danny and those paperclips?
During Rick Schroder's first few episodes on the show, the writers introduced the idea that when Danny gets emotionally "stirred up," he deals with it in part by grabbing office supplies — usually paperclips — and sticking them in his shirt pocket. And on one occasion, after getting a particular problem off his chest, we actually saw him take the clips out of his pocket and put them back in their caddy on his desk. At least one therapist who watches the show says this means that Danny had Obsessive Compulsive Personality Disorder, which is a more mild version of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder.
When I get stirred up, I go and buy office supplies. Especially pens. It seems to have a calming effect on me.
I am especially lusting for a really really good fountain pen. I think one day, when I feel especially crappy, I'll finally buy myself a modern Parker Duofold, a descendant of the noble offshoot of Parker's Jack Knife Safety line. My high school physics teacher used to have one of those. They are great. Nibs made of osmium, iridium, ruthenium and other unobtainium, split by hand. Ooooh.
Anyway, because the prospect of buying an apartment is making me poor, all I can afford right now is regular ballpoint pens at Staples. And writing in livejournal about that.

"The Pigman" would be a fun play to watch with a very serious and important theme. In Jo...

Plato on Justice and Injustice
Plato on Justice and Injustice In The Republic, Plato attempts to demonstrate through the character and discourse of Socrates that justice is better than justice is the good which men must strive for, regardless of whether they could be unjust and still be rewarded. His method is to use dialectic, the asking and answering of questions which led the hearer from one point to another, supposedly with irrefutable logic by obtaining agreement to each point before going on to the next, and so buil...

Piano Lesson
Piano Lesson In the drama, "The Piano Lesson" by August Wilson written in 1945, it showed the difficulties in releasing the past and moving forward in one's life. It also centered on the conflicts between brother and sister over differences in values and beliefs. For example, the brother, Boy Willie, wanted to sell the family piano so he can buy his own land to farm and start a new life for himself. However, he was confronted by his sister, Berniece, who did not want to sell the piano due...
Piano �Piano� by D. H. Lawrence The poem Piano, by D. H. Lawrence describes his memories of childhood. Hearing a woman singing takes him to the time when his mother played piano on Sunday evenings. In the present, this woman is singing and playing the piano with great passion. However, the passionate music is not effecting him, because he can only think about his childhood rather than the beauty of the music that exists in his actual space. �A woman is singing� softly to...
Pied Beauty
Pied Beauty Pied Beauty The poem "Pied Beauty" begins by praising God for all the colorful and diverse things in nature. The speaker is thankful for everything with dots, circles, different colors, etc. He seems to be fond of nature and "the great outdoors."

For example, fresh fire-coal, chestnut falls, finches, skies of two colors, cows, etc. But the poem does not only speak of natures� div...
Piercy's Use of Implied and Ex
Piercy�s Use of Implied and Ex In this poem Marge Piercy�s speaker evokes a concrete vision of a woman who has lost her personal identity to her job. Her bold and descriptive use of metaphors allow the reader to envision a woman who is living her life vicariously through her career. Ms. Piercy successfully uses paradox, personification, and the pun to bring the character alive. With the use of metaphors, both implied and explicit, the reader can deeply empathize with the central ch...
Pigeon Feather
Pigeon Feather John Updike tells good stories in his new collection, "Pigeon Feathers." What's more -- or, rather, what helps to make them good -- is his conspicuous devotion to the perilous marksmanship of words. All readers are bound to be grateful to him for that. He is no Pater and he is no Joyce. Clichés and banalities he knows, have their valued uses in making a story flow. They provide comfortable, reassuring cadences -- and he employs them when he does not want to interrupt ...

Philosophy - Mills Utilitarian Mill's Utilitarianism: Sacrifice the innocent for the common good? When faced with a moral dilemma, utilitarianism identifies the appropriate considerations, but offers no realistic way to gather the necessary information to make the required calculations. This lack of information is a problem both in evaluating the welfare issues and in evaluating the consequentialist issues which utilitarianism requires be weighed when making moral decisions.

Philosophy - Socrates View of A Different View of Love We have heard definitions of love through our lives that have been passed on for decades. Some of us have felt love, and some of us have been in love. But no one ever seems to question what love is, as if it is something that just plainly is. People tend to just go with it, and think that what they are feeling is really complete and substantial love. In Plato�s The Symposium, the reader is confronted with some very different ...

The criteria for these labels are not clearly defined, but they still seem to be the standard by which the actions of man are judged.

On the other hand there is the teleol...
