Eldorado Canyon in Southern Nevada was a rough and tumble place in the mid-1880s. At least 12 mining camps were established in the canyon. The mining era lasted about 30 years. Some prospectors found gold. Many found nothing.
Today most visitors to Eldorado Canyon come to take the Techatticup Mine Tour, take a cool dip in Lake Mojave or jump off cliffs. Eldorado Canyon is an easy day trip from Las Vegas that can be made in about one hour.
Eldorado Canyon Mine Tours offer visitors a look back to the early days of the canyon. Even though most folks call the mine Nelson Ghost Town the actual town of Nelson is 2 miles up the canyon. The Techatticup Mine and the surrounding buildings look like a ghost town and the name stuck.
Techatticup Mine tours last about one hour and are by reservation only. (groups of four or more.) If you come during the weekend and do not have a reservation you will more than likely be able to join a group.
Your tour guild takes you around the mining camp and shares some interesting stories about the wild days of Eldorado Canyon. Then the tour heads underground into Techatticup Mine where you get a taste of what it was like to be a gold miner Eldorado Canyon.
The grounds of the Techatticup Mine property are scattered with hundreds of mining artifacts along with more modern props left over from the numerous movies and videos. Wedding and events can also be held on the property.
If you don't take the mine tour about two miles down the canyon on the right side of SP 165 is the Jubilee Mine. This mine is very easy to access so unfortunately graffiti is plentiful and garbage everywhere.
The portals into the Jubilee Mine are huge. You could easily drive a vehicle inside if the access road was not blocked. If you can ignore all the trash the Jubilee Mine is interesting to explore.
Gold was first discovered in the canyon around 1850. The news of a gold strike soon spread. Nelson's Landing became a busy place dropping off miners and supplies. Well over 100,000 ounces gold were mined in just a few years. Much of the gold came from the Techatticup Mine.
There were 12 mining camps in Eldorado Canyon along with two mills to process the ore. One at Nelson's Landing the other in the middle canyon. At one time the canyon even had a post office.
As with most gold strikes the mines played out, miners moved on and the mining camps were abandoned. One of the last mine to close was the Techatticup in 1942. For a few years during the prohibition bootleggers used Nelson's Landing to unload booze.
September 14, 1974, Nelson's Landing changed forever. A huge rainstorm hit the area above the canyon. Nearly 4 inches of rain in just over one hour sent a massive flash flood down Eldorado Canyon.
A wall of water came crashing down on Nelson's Landing washing away, cabins, mobile homes, and the floating dock. When the flood was over nine persons were dead Nelson's Landing marina was no more.
Nelson's Landing will never be rebuilt due to the ever-present danger of flash floods.
Nelson's Landing is a popular destination for Cliff Jumping. Thrill seekers jump off the cliffs up to 50 feet high into the Lake Mojave. Even if you don't jump on a busy day the show can be interesting.
Like other Lake Mojave Coves easily accessible by cars, there is a problem with trash. No alcohol is allowed however, you would not know it by the numerous discarded cans and bottles.
Eldorado Mine Tours 16880 NV-165, Searchlight, NV 89046 (702) 291-0026. The mine is across the road from the "Ghost Town." Just look for the huge pile of tailings.
To get to Eldorado Canyon from Las Vegas take State Route 95 South from Boulder City. Turn on State Route 165 follow the two-lane highway. At ten miles and you will pass through the town of Nelson.
From Nelson, the Techatticup Mine (Eldorado Canyon Mine Tours) is two miles further along Highway 165.
Nelson's Landing is another 7 miles through the center of Eldorado Canyon. The cliff jumping area is actually in Placer Cove which can be reached via a dirt road from the end of State Route 165.

Q: Draw 3 triangles with css
I am trying to make the design above in CSS.
I tried using clip-path to make the triangle in the centre but then the blue and green triangles can't be seen. How can I make this the width of the screen and responsive too?
These are the clip paths for the triangle:

.centerTriangle {
  clip-path: polygon(0 0, 50% 100%, 100% 0);
  background-color: red;
}

.leftTriangle {
  clip-path: polygon(0 0, 0% 100%, 100% 100%);
  background-color: blue;
}

.rightTriangle {
  clip-path: polygon(100% 0, 0% 100%, 100% 100%);
  background-color: green;
}

Would appreciate any help thanks!

A: Gradients can do it:

html {
  min-height:100%;

  background:
    linear-gradient(to top right,blue  50%,red 0) left /50.1% 100% no-repeat,
    linear-gradient(to top left ,green 50%,red 0) right/50.1% 100% no-repeat;
}

A: Here is a responsive version using border:

body {
  border-top: 100vh solid red;
  border-left: 50vw solid blue;
  border-right: 50vw solid green;
  margin:0
}

A: if you need to make it work with three divs, here is my solution

* {
  margin: 0;
}

.container {
  height: 100vh;
  background-color: red;
  position: relative;
}

.container *{
  position: absolute;
  inset: 0
}

.centerTriangle {
  clip-path: polygon(0 0, 50% 100%, 100% 0);
  background-color: red;

}

.leftTriangle {
  clip-path: polygon(0 0, 0% 100%, 50% 100%);
  background-color: blue;
}

.rightTriangle {
  clip-path: polygon(100% 0, 100% 100%, 50% 100%);
  background-color: green;
}

The Most Interesting Man in the World...
THE MOST INTERESTING MAN IN MARINA DEL REY
He lives on a sailboat in Marina del Rey. He used to intercept Warren Beatty's conquests in the lobby of the Beverly Wilshire Hotel. He was once a waterless carwash entrepreneur. He is The Most Interesting Man in the World. The New Yorker makes the introduction. [New Yorker]
ON AND OFF MADISON AVE.
by Nick PaumgartenFEBRUARY 7, 2011
The most interesting thing about the man who plays the Most Interesting Man in the World, in those TV ads for Dos Equis beer, is that he is interesting, too, perhaps even superlatively so. His name is Jonathan Goldsmith. He's the one who says, in a Spanishy accent, at the end of each spot, "I don't always drink beer, but when I do I prefer Dos Equis." What makes his Most Interesting Man character interesting, besides a preference for spirits, is other traits invented for him by copywriters: At museums, he's allowed to touch the art. . . . His blood smells like cologne. . . . Sharks have a week dedicated to him. . . . He once had an awkward moment, just to see how it feels. . . . The police often question him, just because they find him interesting. These lines are recited gravely by the narrator of "Frontline" over faux-grainy clips of our Man cliff-diving in Acapulco, or splashing down in a space capsule, or lying in a hospital bed stitching up a wound on his own shoulder while surgeons and nurses stand around idly, chuckling at his jokes.
Goldsmith is not this man. Still, he has more in common with him than you do. A montage of highlights from the real life of Jonathan Goldsmith might include (had there been cameras present) footage of him rescuing a stranded climber on Mt. Whitney, saving a drowning girl in Malibu, sailing the high seas with his friend Fernando Lamas (the inspiration for his Interesting persona and, according to Goldsmith, "the greatest swordsman who ever lived in Hollywood"), and starting a successful network marketing business ("I was a hustler, a very good hustler"), which, for a while, anyway, enabled him to flee Hollywood for an estate in the Sierras. Among the outtakes might be glimpses of his stint as a waterless-car-wash entrepreneur. "I love the old philosophers," he said. "I have a large library. I am not a die-hard sports fan. I love to cut wood."
Goldsmith, who is seventy-two, related these and other data the other day over an early lunch in midtown. He was accompanied by his wife, Barbara, who, as his agent, five years ago, got him the Dos Equis gig. They'd recently left their spouses and moved in together. They live aboard his sailboat, in Marina del Rey, but had come East to (a) buy a new house in Vermont, to retire to, and (b) spend a week in New York, sussing out what the Most Interesting Man in the World could do for Jonathan Goldsmith.
Goldsmith had on a black polo sweater, a black sports coat, bluejeans, and black tasselled loafers. He had a black-diamond earring that Barbara had given him. They drank Chianti, and Goldsmith told the story of his life and career. The Most Interesting Man in the World, it turns out, is a Jewish guy from the Bronx. His mother was a Conover model, his father a track coach at James Monroe High School. Postcollegiate dissolution (and a session with the famed psychoanalyst Fredric Wertham) led him into an acting class at the Living Theatre and, eventually, into competition with the likes of Dustin Hoffman and Robert Duvall. (Goldsmith recalls a contentious exchange with Hoffman: "I jumped up and said, 'Dustin, the reason you don't like me is because I'm gonna make it and you're not.' ") Goldsmith eventually made it—out to Los Angeles, anyway—and embarked on a career as a "that guy," very often the that guy who gets killed, on television shows such as "Bonanza," "Mannix," "Gunsmoke," "Hawaii Five-O," "The Rockford Files," "Barnaby Jones," "Charlie's Angels," "CHiPs," "Dynasty," "T. J. Hooker," "Knots Landing," "Magnum, P.I.," "MacGyver," and "Dallas," to name a few. He had an equally peripatetic career off the lot, the particulars of which he's saving for a book. He divulged one old surefire tactic: knowing that Warren Beatty kept a penthouse suite at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel, Goldsmith used to wait in the lobby for the young women who'd been summoned there, and he'd intercept them, saying, "Warren sent me down. I'm terribly sorry, but he had to cancel the meeting."
This might not work today. He can hardly walk half a block without someone asking, "Are you the guy?" (The guy being different from that guy.) After lunch, the Goldsmiths went to the New York Boat Show, at the Javits Center, where less interesting men whispered as he passed. He strode by the powerboats—"These do nothing for me"—in search of something with a sail. He stopped at the booth of Beneteau, the company that built his boat, a 47.3-foot sloop, and made small talk about the fifty-eight. "We went down to Annapolis to see it," Goldsmith said. "We decided to buy a house in Vermont instead."
They stopped at the Ducks Unlimited booth to inquire about a decoy with battery-powered wings, a potential gag gift for a friend. A man there asked, "Are you the Most Interesting Man in the World?" Talk soon turned to dogs. It turned out that Goldsmith was in the market for a German shorthaired pointer, and the man knew a breeder. He called up pointer photographs on a laptop. The men exchanged information. He goes to a boat show and buys a dog.
Not far away was a booth called Interesting Items, manned by a heavyset Russian in suspenders. He was selling binoculars, scissors, magnifying glasses, drill sets, and tweezers. "I'm looking for Ben Wa balls," Goldsmith said. The Russian, not knowing what he meant by this, directed him instead to a display of pocketknives. "I love pocketknives," Goldsmith said, flipping one open, gang-fight style. "I bought a couple for my grandsons, so they could cut off their seat belts." ♦

Joseph Lee Rosson and wife Cora Leigh Rosson purchased the property that is today Quaker Hill Farm around the turn of the century.
Quaker Hill Farm has been the home of the Rosson Family for nearly 100 years. The farm originated around 1742 and was once part of a Quaker settlement, hence the name. Located in the Historic Green Springs District of Louisa County the farm is only 15 miles from Thomas Jefferson's Monticello. The area surrounding the farm is rich in history as well as many pre-Civil War homes and farms including the nationally renowned Prospect Hill Inn. Many of these homes escaped being burned by Union troops because of the success of the Confederate calvary at the Battle of Trevilians. The outcome of this battle forced the advancing Union army into the Shenandoah Valley, preserving many of the existing homes and structures in the Green Springs District. The area is blessed with some of the best grazing land in Virginia and ample water supplies.
The Rosson Family has been in the commercial cattle business for generations however the decision was made in 1991 to pursue building a registered Angus program. The herd started with and initial draft of fifty females purchased from Ankony Angus in Nebraska. These daughters of Lovana, Cornerstone, and Bold Ruler have been mated heavily AI to some of the best bulls in the breed with many daughters retained. In 1997 the pursuit of genetic progress continued with the embryo partnership program with Brownwood Farms of Louisa, VA. Some of the very best daughters of 6807 in the entire breed were secured as donors.
OCC Blackcap 740C (6807 X 5367) was the top selling cow sold through the 1997 Ohlde Cattle Company Sale in Kansas. 740C along with GDAR Queen Cary 092 serve as our two anchor donors. 092 (6807 X AAR New Trend) was the top selling cow from the 1998 GDAR Female Sale. The year 1999 proved to be the crowning step in the progression of establishing one of the best Angus herds in the nation with the purchase of the entire Wampler herd of Harrisonburg, Virginia. The Charles Wampler & Sons herd is one of the oldest performance tested herds in the country and one of the foundation members in establishing performance testing and the development of the BCIA Central Bull Test program in Virginia. With the rich history and genetic strength of these three combined efforts, the Quaker Hill Program is poised to be a dominate force in the Angus breed and the overall cattle business in Virginia as well as the nation.

SAVE objected to the scheme on the grounds that it will have a negative impact on the Conservation Areas adjacent to it, particularly the Graham Road – Mapeldene Conservation Area.
The Dalston Area Action Plan, approved in January this year, recommends a maximum height of six storeys for the site. However, the proposal for a residential complex designed by Andrew Waugh architect rises to 10 storeys.
The site is immediately adjacent to two Conservation Areas: the Graham Road and Mapledene Conservation Area and the Dalston Lane Conservation Area, and close to the Queensbridge Road Conservation Area. The 0.4 hectare site is presently occupied by low-level buildings containing garages and artists' studios.
The Grahame Road-Mapeldene Conservation Area is largely characterized by two-storey late Victorian cottages. Its low height is one of its key characteristics. The new development will be highly visible from most parts of Ritson Road and therefore it is this part of the area that will suffer the most negative impact from this scheme. It contains several listed buildings as well as being in a conservation area.
Shockingly, the planning application was submitted without CGIs of the proposed development and without an Urban and Heritage Appraisal. The CGIs were submitted only after the consultation period ended. This meant that it was not possible to adequately assess its impact.
The decision of the Hackney Sub-Planning Committee sets a poor precedent for further implementation of the Dalston Area Action Plan. It makes a mockery of planning processes and public consultation.
Dalston has recently become one of the most thriving and bustling parts of London: large numbers of young people being attracted by its variety - embodied in its historic buildings. Land-values have shot up since the opening of Dalston Lane Station in 2010. However, inappropriately large-scale developments will destroy the very charm that draws people to the area.


Recently, I accompanied a group of students from the United World College (UWC) of Costa Rica on a trip to Orosi, Cartago (see separate story, pages W6 and W7), for an intensive, one-week Spanish course. My family, the students and I traveled from Santa Ana to Orosi on a sunny Monday morning.
Upon arriving in Orosi, we circled the town and viewed the oldest church still in use in Costa Rica, Iglesia de San José Orosi. Later, we met the owners and operators of Montaña Linda language school, Toine and Sara Verkuijlen. Sara enthusiastically described what the classes would be like and the surrounding area and activities.
While my family and I stayed in the hostel, the UWC students stayed with nearby Tico families. The weather was charming and the sky was clear, so clear that every morning we had the most amazing view of Turrialba Volcano, which was active while we were there.
Every morning, before classes, we would hit the nearby café, Orosi Lodge, and while my parents enjoyed a cappuccino, I would dig some change out of my pocket and play a few games of foosball with my sister, Natalie.
During the evenings, I remember watching my parents play backgammon while I played cards in the common area of the hostel. The weather was always fresh and cool and there was always some kind of quiet social activity going on around us. However, the very best adventures happened just after lunch. Each afternoon we had the most delicious meal with a dessert con helado and afterwards we were engaged in an adventure pre-planned by Sara or Toine.
Although there are two thermal baths in town, we hiked out to a natural thermal hot springs located on the wide river. In the river, we swam in the fresh flow and bathed in a natural pool of hot water. Of course, there was a splashing tournament or two, usually started by Nicole Mugabo from Uganda or Yam Matarasso from Israel.
On another occasion we were led on a hike with our guide, Nano, a local farmer, who gave us a brief history of the area, took us rock scaling and finally to a giant waterfall. At the waterfall we found fossils of all shapes and sizes. It was really cool and beautiful.
Not only did we learn Spanish,we also saw the sights and met new people, and the students joined Sara, volunteering their time to teach English to young children in a nearby community center. One of my mom's favorite activities was the visit to the nearby LankesterBotanical Garden just outside Paraíso.
On the last night, Sara arranged for dance lessons for our entire group and their homestay families. I was surprised at the smooth moves of David Opoku from Ghana and Moussa Sarr from Senegal. But their skills were nothing compared to the limbo skills of Stacey Love from Jamaica. I'm still amazed at how low she can go! Overall, I had an absolute great week in the OrosiValley, but boy was I beat when we returned home to Santa Ana.
Nicholas Appleby is 11 years old and hails from Canada. He has been in Costa Rica since August 2006, and lives on the campus of the UnitedWorldCollegeCosta Rica in Santa Ana, southwest of San José, where he is homeschooled by his mother, Tanya Appleby. His dream is to become a writer.


Or, all the R-2 to R-5 property owners? Meaning commercial landlords?
The Community Development Department (CDD) is happy to announce the launch of the Burbank Property Portal, a website that allows the public to remotely access property information from their home computer or mobile device. In the past, customers had to come to the Community Services Building or submit a public records request to obtain permit records for an address. Now, they can obtain building permit, zoning and Los Angeles County Assessor information from the City's website.
Staff receives 80 to 100 requests each month for building permit records from homeowners, prospective buyers, lenders and realtors. The Property Portal improves efficiencies by allowing customers to search for that information at their own convenience. Currently, the Property Portal has permit records from 2006 to the present, and staff expects to add older, archived permits in the near future. In the meantime, archived records can still be obtained from the Building Permit counter or through a public records request.
With the goals of making permit information more readily available and minimizing the time and effort that ordinarily goes into a search for property information, the Property Portal is one of many steps CDD is taking toward increasing transparency, online access and customer service.
The County used to make you go to Norwalk for everything. But nothing makes the City do the same. Are they inputting all of Burbank's commercial properties as well?
We have a sneaky feeling that no one's gonna make it easy to find out how much the Cusumanos are paying in exchange for all that rent. Or landlords who are much worse.
Burbank is being sold off one piece at a time by this council and the city is going bust. So where is all this money going ????

Portland Loo, a public toilet that skips to the head of its class
By Kim Murphy, Los Angeles Times
PORTLAND, Ore. — Pity the lowly public toilet, a redolent reminder of the failure of the best minds in urban planning to address the most fundamental of daily necessities.
Millions have been invested in the facilities for collective relief. Often, they have become targets for graffiti, trash-can fires, furtive needle activity, commercial lovemaking, emergency baths, laundries for the homeless, and repositories of castoff diapers.
Go to any city in America and ask whether it has fixed the public toilet problem, and most any city in America will hold its nose.
Except Portland.
Here, where just about everything is greener, hipper and more carbon-neutral, it was only a matter of time before someone came up with a sustainable urban toilet. It's called the Portland Loo, and it may be the first toilet so popular it has its own Facebook page.
The solar-powered, 6-by-101/2 -foot street-corner cabin, ingeniously stripped of much of its plumbing and privacy, has been installed at six locations around Portland, from the city's dodgiest centers for the homeless to an upscale waterfront where stay-at-home moms take their children to play.
So well has it eased into the urban landscape that Portland is looking to build and market Loos across the continent, hoping the profits will allow for the construction and maintenance of more at home. San Diego, Vancouver, Houston, Baltimore and Seattle all have expressed interest. The first official export was installed in Victoria, British Columbia, in November.
"I'm convinced Portland is the only city in the U.S., and maybe the world, that celebrates the opening of bathrooms," City Commissioner Randy Leonard said at the dedication ceremony for the city's fifth Loo, as students from a nearby school, whose art adorns the exterior wall, sang "Skip to My Lou."
"We get calls all the time," said project spokeswoman Anne Hill. "There's a proven track record here: It's in, and it's working. And there is no other solution out there that's been successful."
Portland officials say the Loos buck many of the conventions of public toilets: They are not installed in out-of-the-way spots where no one will see them. Rather, most are placed along sidewalks in full public view.
They are not self-cleaning, but are made of prison-grade steel with plumbing so basic that they are almost impossible to damage, and a twice-a-day check by maintenance staff seems to keep them in good working order.
The only water faucet is on the outside, making customers less likely to linger for hair-washing or laundry.
Perhaps most important, they aren't all that private. Louvered slats from foot level to knee level and again just above head level make activity inside somewhat visible, and audible, to passersby.
"We can see your trunk, but not your junk," the Portland Loo Facebook page posted recently, adding, "Bwahahaha."
"As you approach a Loo, you can see what's happening inside," Hill said. "If it's 2 in the morning and there's two sets of feet in the Loo, law enforcement has cause to knock on the door and say, 'Why are there two sets of feet in the Loo? Two of those feet need to come out.' "
To enter the Portland Loo with a mission in mind is to understand the Zen of utilitarian human biology. Function is all. There are no mirrors, no lavender sachets, no paper towel holders, no sink. Just four walls, a small dispenser of hand sanitizer and the reason you came: the steel, prison-grade toilet. The sounds of people chatting and laughing outside waft in disconcertingly between the slats. One feels the urge to act quickly and quietly, and move on.
The project was the brainchild of Leonard, who watched several years ago as former Mayor Tom Potter championed the idea of spending $200,000 a year to keep a restroom in City Hall open overnight to service the city's homeless.
The problem, as Leonard saw it, was that most of the homeless hung out in Old Town, a mile away. Who, he wondered, was going to walk two miles round-trip to use the bathroom?
Leonard sat down at a table with the city's Central Precinct police captain and a community activist from what would become the citizens group PHLUSH, or Public Hygiene Lets Us Stay Human. They pored over designs from other cities, especially in Europe, and architectural designer Curtis Banger came up with a peekaboo toilet powered by two solar panels on the roof and with graffiti-washable panels. The cost: $60,000 to install plus $1,200 a month to maintain.
The first installation, in December 2008, was near the Greyhound bus station in the Old Town-Chinatown area, or as Leonard puts it, "ground zero for homelessness in Portland." The sixth, near the Portland Art Museum and Portland State University, opened this month.
City officials in Los Angeles and San Francisco say they are generally happy with the automated, self-cleaning toilets provided under contract with the French company JCDecaux, which installs and maintains them in exchange for advertising rights.
But some cities have had problems with trash building up and rendering the self-cleaning mechanisms useless. The units can also be magnets for prostitution and drug use.
"Paris never smelled like this," San Francisco Chronicle columnist C.W. Nevius complained last year of the city's 25 automated, self-cleaning toilets, suggesting the city think about the Portland Loo when the contract comes up for renewal in 2015.
Lance Oishi of the Los Angeles Bureau of Street Services said officials had to shut down one of the city's 15 public toilets, near skid row, when a pimp set up shop there. But since the suspect's arrest, the unit is heading back toward normal operations. He said hygiene complaints had been alleviated by requiring the contractor to visit each toilet at least twice a day.
Meanwhile, downtown San Diego is relying on 10 public restrooms — only two of them open all night — and a handful of portable toilets. The city is hoping that redevelopment funds will come through to buy four Portland Loos, a purchase initially authorized by the City Council in 2010 but delayed by California's continuing public budget troubles.
Rachel Jensen, co-founder of the San Diego homeless advocacy group Girls Think Tank, which has pushed for the Loos, said the decision was reached after activists and city leaders met with homeless representatives and realized the urgency of the sanitation issue.
"We took a poll. Essentially we asked, what are the most pressing issues facing the homeless community that we should act on here? And they said bathrooms," Jensen said.
"For a population that is by definition not housed, we thought the first priority would be housing, and it wasn't," she said. "They said, 'Until we have somewhere to go to the bathroom, we're not even human. We're like animals.'"
Portland's Loo hasn't been without controversy. Residents near Jamison Square Park fought bitterly against the toilet there until it went in, after which opposition seemed to melt away. A group of conservative taxpayers this year filed suit against the city, arguing that the toilets were costing more than the city claims and that city water funds aren't meant to be spent on an international toilet marketing campaign.
PHLUSH co-founder Carol McCreary, on the other hand, says the city hasn't built enough new Loos. She says it's also time for Portland to venture further: The group is encouraging city officials to look at comfort stations in La Jolla and Venice Beach that feature private cabins and unisex outdoor hand-washing facilities.
The idea is to move past the traditional, multi-stall concept of men's and women's rooms, which often leave women waiting in line, fathers confused about where to take their young daughters and transgender people simply nervous.
"When I was a kid, men and women didn't go to the same hairdresser or the same gym. But that's all changed. We think most Americans would be quite comfortable washing their hands, even grooming, next to a person of the opposite sex," McCreary said. "Why not?"

What can a husband do to improve his adolescent wife's life?
Husband is the only person in a married girl's life with whom she feels free to share everything in her in-laws' house. In my opinion, husband should cooperate with her in every single step. He should always view the whole scenario by standing from his wife's point of view whenever she discusses something with him. If he thinks she is saying something positive then he should cooperate with her to implement it, and he should share with other family members to make the things done smoothly. However, if he thinks her discussion has no valid or strong points then he should politely, I repeat very politely, discuss with her about the drawbacks of that. This will help her set in mind that her husband is a good friend of her on whom she can rely. In addition, this will make her feel peace in getting such a cooperative husband. Consequently, the conjugal life will be happier. I believe, if there is peace and happy in life, hardest problems can be solved easily.

The bar is low for a better new year
By Barry Tompkins | barrytompkins1@gmail.com | IJ correspondent
January 2, 2021 at 12:00 p.m.
Frankie Frost/Marin Independent Journal
All right, it's the first weekend of the new year and let me see a show of hands. How many of you have already decided that anything that even resembles a resolution is purely unattainable? The fact is 50% of Americans make them, and of that, only 10% keep them. I'm convinced that 10% is made up of people who vow to brush their teeth at least once a week or swear off eating lychee nuts for the next year.
Let's begin with the obvious. Based on last year, 2021 will be better just by virtue of the fact we've got a fresh set of months to attempt to get the world back on its proper axis.
There's a vaccine available to a few now — and a lot later — and quite frankly, I don't care if it causes me to sprout an extra thumb on my forehead if it controls this insidious virus that has changed the world we live in.
Last year ended for most of us in March. From then on, it was hunkering down in our house — for those of us fortunate enough to still have one. It was never being out in public without looking like we were about to scrub up for surgery. And it was sanitizing our hands so many times each day that we could steal the crown jewels and not leave fingerprints.
Then, there was the fact that we couldn't eat in a restaurant — indoors or out. We couldn't go to a gym or a bar or hair salon. There was no at home entertaining and theaters, music and sports venues were shutdown. Other than that, 2020 was just one big laugh riot.
So, the bar for improvement in 2021 is set pretty low.
Give me a Rob Roy at the bar made by my fellow columnist Jeff Burkhart, an indoor dinner with friends and a ticket to a Warriors game and I will declare 2021 an unequivocal success — even if it comes in June.
Experts are predicting that the world as we used to know it will return — hopefully before the summer solstice. Now that I've said that, let me throw a giant wet towel over predictions made by "experts."
According to Politico, these are some quotes made by "experts" during the course of 2020.
Let's begin with our president telling us last New Year's Day that 2020 was "going to be a great year. I think it's going to be a fantastic year." OK, a forgivable strike one.
When the coronavirus struck, he told us, "It's going to go away." In fact, he told us that 16 times, twice a month from March through December.
Our Vice President Mike Pence assured us that, "There isn't a coronavirus second wave." That was reassuring.
Richard Epstein, a constitutional scholar affiliated with the Hoover Institute at Stanford, warned on March 13 that "COVID will kill roughly 500 people." On March 23, he amended that number to 5,000.
The brilliant Elon Musk of Tesla fame declared on March 19 that, "By the end of April, there will be close to zero new coronavirus cases in the United States."
And White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany told Fox Business on Feb. 25, "We will not see diseases like the coronavirus come here." The virus had been in the United States for at least a month at that time.
Personally, I stopped making predictions in 1969 when I told my TV audience that, "If Joe Namath's New York Jets beat the Baltimore Colts in the Super Bowl, you could have my house, my car, my first born and I'll throw in the dog."
Mercifully, I convinced the takers that I needed my house and that I loved my eldest daughter. And frankly, I never really missed either the car or the dog.

Britney Spears addresses court at conservatorship hearing
Jun 23, 2021 @ 5:31pm
▶ Watch Video: Britney Spears expected to address court at conservatorship hearing
Britney Spears is addressing a Los Angeles court Wednesday regarding her court-appointed conservatorship, breaking her recent silence on the arrangement that controls her career and finances. The conservatorship was implemented in 2008 when the singer experienced mental health struggles.
Fans have waited to hear from Britney on the matter and have questioned why the pop star has been forced to live under the arrangement for more than a decade. In April, a judge approved her court-appointed lawyer's request to allow her to speak to the court but did not disclose what she plans to say.
Her comments on Wednesday come after her lawyer's attempts to remove her father, Jamie Spears, from the conservatorship. Last summer, her attorney told the court Britney "strongly opposed" her father's control of her estate and wanted him removed. But the judge denied the request, instead, appointing an independent financial group, Bessemer Trust, to serve as a co-conservator to managing her estate alongside her father.
Jamie's legal team argues the conservatorship has taken Britney's estate from in debt to an evaluation of $60 million and has said his only motivation has been his "unconditional love for his daughter and a fierce desire to protect her from those trying to take advantage of her."

Her father previously oversaw the star's personal and medical decisions. In 2019, he voluntarily stepped down due to health issues and Jodi Montgomery, a licensed care manager, took over as temporary conservator of Britney's personal care.
Britney's lawyers have said she vowed not to perform as long as her father was in control of her career. Last week, Britney answered questions from her fans on Instagram and addressed her hiatus from music.
"The (final) question is, am I ready to take the stage again? Am I gonna take the stage again? Will I ever take the stage again?" she said. "I have no idea. I'm having fun right now. I'm in a transition in my life and I'm enjoying myself, so that's it."
This story will be updated.

Former St. Patrick's Day parade grand marshal Bob Reardon dies, recalled as Irishman 365 days a year
In Robert "Bob" Reardon's life, St. Patrick's Day was as big as Christmas, and the chance to lead the St. Patrick's Day Parade in his native Savannah was a lifelong dream.
"I never imagined this (honor) in my wildest dreams," said the man whose friends called him Savannah's "quintessential Irishman" when he was named grand marshal for the 1990 parade.
He called leading the parade "the greatest responsibility and honor for an Irish Catholic."
Reardon, Savannah's oldest living parade grand marshal, died Wednesday. He was 95.
"He was an Irish man 365 days a year," said M.J. "Jerry" Hogan, who was parade grand marshal in 1994. "He wasn't just an Irish man on St. Patrick's Day. He was a true Irishman."
In fact, Reardon marched in the St. Patrick's Day parade in Dublin a couple of years earlier while working there for his then-employer, Union Camp.
But for Reardon, there was no place like home.
"Savannah's celebration is by far greater, bigger and better," he said afterward.
In 1988, Reardon was an aide to Grand Marshal Michael Counihan, after which he said there was no way to top that feeling.
His Irish heritage was central in Reardon's life, which encompassed duty with the U.S. Marine Services during World War II and a career as a manufacturing manager for Union Camp where he retired in 1986.
Hogan, who has known the Reardon family all his life, said the two were friends "through the Irish community" starting with the Old Fort area of Irish families on Savannah's eastside.
"It comes down to St. Patrick's Day, being Catholic and being Irish," Hogan said.
But Reardon was much more, Hogan said, calling him a family man whose religion meant a lot to him as did the Savannah community.
"There are a lot guys who just do a lot and no one knows that they've done," Hogan said.
John Burke, 2007 parade grand marshal, recalled Reardon was always a gentleman.
"He always had a smile on his face," Burke said. "I don't think I've ever seen him when he wasn't smiling. … I think Bob knew just about everybody.
"He was always fun to be around."
Funeral arrangements for Robert Reardon include:
•Visitation: 4-6 p.m. today at the Cathedral of St. John the Baptist, Abercorn and East Harris streets
•Rosary service: 6 p.m.
•Reception: Immediately afterward at the Old Oak Rail at the Knights of Columbus on Liberty Street
•Mass of Christian Burial:10 a.m. Sunday at the Cathedral
•Interment: Follows in the Catholic Cemetery

As part of an effort to seize Chevron assets elsewhere in the world, 47 plaintiffs asked the Ontario Superior Court of Justice to execute the Ecuadorian judgment against the assets of Chevron Canada, an indirect subsidiary of the U.S.-based parent company, Chevron Corp.
In his Ontario Superior Court decision, Justice Glenn Hainey refused, effectively protecting Chevron Canada's assets from being seized.
The plaintiffs have applied for leave to appeal the decision to the Ontario Court of Appeal.
Berkovitz tells AdvocateDaily.com that Canadian subsidiary companies should be relieved by Hainey's ruling.
"Companies can rely on the fact that affiliated, subsidiary and parent companies can all be treated as separated corporate persons. That means there is a large degree of protection that their assets will not be available to satisfy judgments against the other companies in their group," explains Berkovitz.
Berkovitz says it's not unusual for plaintiffs to go after international subsidiaries, especially if they're not having any luck collecting on the original judgment.
In the Chevron case, the company didn't have any assets in Ecuador, which is why the plaintiffs looked elsewhere to collect on the judgment.
In fact, the plaintiffs have taken their fight to courts in other countries, including the United States.

BLME arranges US$15m Islamic Finance facility for Virgin Mobile
BLME , Europe's largest Islamic bank, announced today that it has concluded a US$15 million senior secured facility for Virgin Mobile Middle East & Africa ( VMMEA ), the regional MVNO group rolling out Virgin Mobile across the Middle East & Africa region.
VMMEA will use the facility to fuel the company's growth in the GCC region and further cement its position as a leading Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO). The cross-border agreement covers operations across a number of jurisdictions, including Oman, Jordan, KSA, Malaysia and South Africa, with future roll-outs planned in a number of other countries in the Middle East and Africa.
Massoud Janekeh, Head of Islamic Capital Markets of BLME , commented "The telecommunications sector is witnessing significant growth in the Middle East, as a result of increased infrastructure investment and development, particularly in the Gulf states.

We continue to develop our business and invest in growth opportunities and the funding from BLME is an enabler for future accelerated growth. We are pleased that the approval of the facility follows an exhaustive legal and financial due diligence by BLME and the successful conclusion of the facility is a sign of trust in the current VMMEA operations and future plans".
The documentation of the facility from BLME has been finalised, with the closing and initial drawdown having been successfully concluded.

"I haven't even checked in on it this morning, to be honest. I've been so busy getting ready for practice."
Reporter: "Is he back in town?"
Golden: "I don't know that."
Reporter: "Is this all due to the funeral? Is this all excused?"
Golden: "Correct, yeah."
Henderson's father could not be reached because his voicemail was repeatedly full.
Henderson's UM career has been marked by controversy. He most recently was suspended for the first weekend of spring practice in early March for violating an undisclosed team policy.
Then he showed up "significantly late" to the start of a summer session, Golden told The Miami Herald two weeks ago during a one-on-one interview at the ACC Football Kickoff in Greensboro, N.C.
But Golden said that day that Henderson was "absolutely not" suspended, and the situation was dealt with internally.
"We're like everybody else on the planet when it comes to Seantrel," Golden said during that interview.
"We want to maximize his ability, we want to maximize his talent and give him the skill set, the discipline, the strength, the explosion to be the type of player we know he can be."
The Henderson situation could cause some position shuffling on the offensive line — and might already have. Jermaine Johnson, who played tackle on the scout team last season, is listed as the backup right guard behind Brandon Linder on the prefall depth chart.
But Sunday, Golden said Johnson is now playing tackle.
Also, on Saturday during Day 2 of camp, Jon Feliciano practiced during the first 15 minutes of media viewing at right tackle, Henderson's usual spot.
Feliciano was moved to left guard in the spring and said Sunday that he is still a left guard.
"I just like to stay ready for whatever they need me at," Feliciano said Sunday before practice. "It's cool. It really doesn't affect me. Whatever the team needs me to do."
Listed on the depth chart behind Henderson as the second-team right tackle is freshman Ereck Flowers, but Feliciano said Flowers is "the starting right tackle now.
"He's looking really good for a freshman," Feliciano said. "He's getting better every day."

Q: Python is printing every character? This is my code:
#Printing the original list (This was given)
a = ['spam','eggs',100,1234]
a[0:2] = [1,12]
print("This is the original list:", a)
#Prompting user to input data
b = input('Please add your first item to the list: ')
c = input('Please add your second item: ')
a[4:4] = b
a[5:5] = c
#Printing new list
print(a)

When I run it and add items to the list, it prints every character there, so hello becomes 'h','e','l','l','o' Even the numbers do this, could you help me fix this?

A: Because when you add strings to a list like that they become individual character inside the list:
In [5]: l = [1,2,3]

In [6]: s = "foo"

In [7]: l[1:1] = s

In [8]: l
Out[8]: [1, 'f', 'o', 'o', 2, 3]

If you want to add the strings to the end of the list  use append:
In [9]: l = [1,2,3]

In [10]: s = "foo"

In [11]: l.append(s)

In [12]: l
Out[12]: [1, 2, 3, 'foo']

Or wrap the string in a list or use list.insert:
In [16]: l[1:1] = [s] # iterates over list not the string

In [17]: l
Out[17]: [1, 'foo', 2, 3, 'foo']
In [18]: l.insert(2,"foo")
In [18]: l
Out[19]: [1, 'foo', 'foo', 2, 3, 'foo']

A: note : tested only on python 2.7
the assignment operator expects an iterable in the right-hand side when you do
a[4:4] = b
so when you input a string, it treats it as an iterable and assigns each value of the iterable to the list.
if you need to use the same code, use [string] for the input. else use list methods like append
Please add your first item to the list: ['srj']
Please add your second item: [2]
[1, 12, 100, 1234, 'srj', 2]

Dear Big Daddy
by Big Daddy posted 05.11.2006
Hey Big Daddy,
I am a chief of staff for a Democratic member. After a tough vote on a bill,
the author asked me to follow him into his Capitol office. He then busted
out a checkbook and gave me a contribution to my member's re-election
campaign. I don't want to turn it down, and I don't want to take it. What
should I do?
Dear Waffles-
That damn Political Reform Act (PRA) has messed up more good business
dealings–and created an army of lawyers to interpret, protect and devise
ways to get around it–than anyone ever could have imagined was possible.
Now, don't get me wrong. Big Daddy isn't saying that he has ever condoned
bribery, pay-offs or anything of the sort. It's like that old joke, where a
man says to a woman, "Would you sleep with me for $100,000?" and she says,
"Absolutely." Then he says, "Would you sleep with me for $1?" and she slaps
him, saying, "Of course not, what kind of a girl do you think I am?" Which
gives the man the opportunity to say, "We've already established that. Now
we're just haggling over price."
In other words the PRA doesn't stop corruption, it just forces people who
are intent on doing something illegal, sleazy or underhanded to work a
little harder and be a little more clever in order to accomplish their goal.
Since your only two choices are to commit a felony by accepting the money or
to risk committing political suicide by turning it down, I'd have to say
that you are, in a word, screwed. The only way out of this mess for you
depends both on your ability to think quickly and the nature of the member
you're dealing with. To wit: If you're dealing with the second coming of
Chet Wray Chet, chances are he'll keep writing you check after check, even
if you keep turning them down. The only way you'll escape the office without
a check in your hands is if his pen runs out of ink.
If you're dealing with a member who has a particularly itchy trigger finger,
chances are any attempt by you to simply clear your throat will force him to
make that check out to your boss' opponent. At least your problem is solved
and, given the gerrymandered district your boss no doubt sits in (since
everybody's boss sits in a gerrymandered district these days), I doubt he'll
have an electoral problem.
The way out of this mess, like most messes involving members of the
Legislature who have grown accustomed to sitting around while other people
do things for them, is to come up with an alternative that you like, but
make the member think it's his or her own idea. Most members tend to love
their own ideas, so this is a relatively safe strategy.
For example, you could offer to buy your not-so-secret Santa a hot dog from
the vendor down on the sidewalk, across the street from the Capitol, and
allow him to make his contribution–which certainly would never be tied to
any vote that was cast for or against any bill–at that point.
Tell the member how much your boss loves to get mail and hand over a
self-addressed stamped envelope that he or she can load the check in and
drop into the nearest mailbox on their way to Bedell's.
Given the wattage on the bulb that tried to pull this on you, I can't
imagine getting them to bite on one of these approaches or to think it's
their own idea will be tremendously difficult.

Mashups are flourishing on the programmable Web. Designers create mashups by combining components of existing Web sites and applications. Although the rapid mashup proliferation offers many opportunities, a lack of standardization and compatibility offers considerable challenges. To address this, the IBM Sharable Code online service platform uses an innovative domain-specific language that provides a common structure and design for mashups as well as facilities to help share and reuse mashup components.
rare gaming consoles to those that create Sudoku games from Flickr photos. However, there are also more generally useful mashups, such as those offering weather information and mapping services. Mashup directories and marketplaces let users rank and discuss mashups. ProgrammableWeb.com is one such directory; as of April 2008, it listed more than 3,000 mashups and more than 740 different APIs. Similar directories include StrikeIron.com and Mashable.com. The many available mashups suggest a flourishing and innovative Web, but they also raise new challenges, including that · current mashups are point solutions, lacking principled approaches to architecture and design; and · many similar mashups use the same APIs, but share nothing else in common.

Q: Not getting Cascadia Code PL in Powershell I wanted to get started with posh and oh-my-posh so I installed them according to this article. Microsoft docs. I got the theme but the edges didn't had that arrow(that coolness).
I then downloaded the windows terminal and edited the setting.json there with
"fontFace": "Cascadia Code PL"

So it got the desired result of posh in there.
Now the only problem currently is how to change this in windows powershell. I integrated the powershell in my vs code so there also I was not able to find this theme(or desired result). All I could find is the color but not the arrow and that fancy icons or what the jargon is.
Please help. I want my powershell to have posh.

A: If I understand correctly, there are two parts to the question.
Changing the PowerShell Window Font
To do this, right-click your PowerShell window and head to "Properties"

There, you can choose the header "Font" and change your font to Cascadia Code PL".

This should fix the problem. If you still experience some weird characters, you might need to install a Nerd Font instead.
Changing the VS Code Terminal Font
To use the font in the VS Code Terminal, head to Settings.

Searching for "integrated terminal font family" should bring up the setting you need to edit. Here, add your font 'Cascadia Code PL' on the very front of the setting and save.

You should now be able to open a terminal and use the PL prompt.
