Q: JavaScript - add checkbox calculations to total price okay so Im a beginner (a started this journey a day ago) an slowly teaching myself javascript and i wrote a code for a simple price quoter...but now Im trying to build on it.  I know the code is formatted really bad (I have no idea where spaces are supposed to go and those brackets :S) but what i came up with works...does the spacing and stuff matter to the program? or it is for aesthetic reasons and for easy debugging etc...
So my price quote...it has some equations for the total price, time, footage and DVDS...and they are all input fields, and now I want to add check boxes to the equation..if they are checked a value will be added to the total...I have them in the calculator but there is no script attached to them...ONLY THREE check boxes have a set value ...2 check boxes will have a value multiplied by the number of dvds before being added to the total...and the last check box will be another text input similar to what i have already..
ive tried multiple things, like another function but itwas probably done wrong anyways lol, i tried another calculate function, addition function, updatecost function, some chkbox function (i forgot the name)...but I wasnt sure how to get the value calculated in that checkbox's function, into the equation of the calculate function.  i tried the parsefloat thing and it only semi worked if i had the value checked....
another thing i tried was putting an input hidden value of 0 before the value of the input checkbox, both with the same name...some research told me that if the checkbox is not checked, it will default to the hidden value i set with the same name (which is 0)...it didnt work...or i may have no inputed it right in the equation....please direct me in the right direction :) I'm about to pull my hair out!!!

Last week, and time and again since December 7th, 2017, we at your local news office (TALON) have been called on to cover issues which continue to divide the community. Our often unpopular, but respected work is to bring issues to the citizens to discuss and focus on. Your TALON has suffered as businesses have exercised the power to pull advertising, backbite and gossip when we print something which disagrees with their view. I applaud the brave and dedicated writers and community members who have brought these difficult discussions to print.
This historic time has not been pleasant for these participants, nor for their families. Citizens on both sides of the many good arguments about what to do, if anything, have been passionate, thoughtful, and willing to risk greatly to push forward the debate. Hat's off ladies and gentlemen. Someday we may all look back and thank them for their patriotism.
We live in a time when leadership seems bent on undoing basic American rights. When truth has taken a backseat to money and power. When religion is trotted out as the only right choice for teaching and government support. Freedom to Assemble, Free speech & Free press, Free religion, Freedom to bear arms, Freedom to petition government for redress, are all inescapably joined. For the first time in my adult life, the idea that our fragile and unique society is in real peril has me concerned.
Our hyper-polarized national politics do not serve you and I. They pit spouse against spouse, neighbor against neighbor, and brother against brother. And if that wasn't bad enough, the polarization provides distraction and cover for the restriction or elimination of human rights guaranteed in our founding documents.
If the dark forces succeed, they will eliminate or restrict our rights, and all will suffer. Today, as our politicians continue to fail us, citizens in public service, police, military, and the news services stand between us and a dystopian future for our children.
Thank you for the outpouring of support from our community and advertisers which allow TALON to continue the mission. Please support those advertisers, and tell em you saw it in TALON. - J.R.


i've got 2 BSOD errors since i upgraded my win 8.1 to 10. Before that my notebook was fine without a crash. I can't work and is extremely frustrating to use it. It happens often when the pc have less process opened, rarely when i play or use hard graphic softwares. I checked all advices in a month but no one work. Clean boot, upgrade of drivers and sfc check, without results. I neither can check my minidump files because when it crash i must force the restart pressing the power button or it will be for hours in blue screen without doing anything but became hotter and active fan. I tried to reset but windows told me that it can't be done... really i don't know what to do.
Please someone help me!!! ç.ç I don't want to lose all my apps and stuff deleting all or downgrade windows.
We do need the actual log files (called a DMP files) as they contain the only record of the sequence of events leading up to the crash, what drivers were loaded, and what was responsible.
I did all about getting minidump file without a result. Can't obtain a minidump file because when my pc have a blue screen, it appear and nothing more happens. Neither loading the % so it doesn't generate minidump file and i can't have more information.
I uploaded minidump files and huge memory dump from c:\windows. Also, added MSinfo and speccy files. Can you please look into it and let me know a solution?
This solution is applicable even to me? or i need minidump and memory dump? Because i can't get them in any way ... i could post speecy and MSinfo.
No it is not. We need the DMP files.
We need data from some source. We cant just guess at the cause.
After long time i restore the os, upgrade to 1511 and then after some days it crash again .... this time lucky i can get .dmp files, here the link to it. Hoping to resolve the problem.

Michael Palin Goes the Dzong in Bhutan
"If the fabled Shangri-La exists beyond the legend, this is it." – Michael Palin
English comic and now celebrated travel documentary maker, Michael Palin, is currently enthralling television audiences with his enriching odyssey, Himalaya.*
Over six, one hour episodes and through a lavish accompanying book, Michael regales the viewer with his adventures through the various countries and kingdoms in this enchanting part of the world.
Western travellers have long been attracted to the Himalayas for its magnificent mountains, deep mysticism and colourful cultures.
Outside of the more heavily trafficked regions of Nepal and India, lies the secluded and peaceful kingdom of Bhutan. Once a reclusive and isolated country, Bhutan is now cautiously opening its doors to tourism, ever mindful of the "corrupting" influences of western culture.
This remote, isolated kingdom appears to stand still in time while the world rages around it. Like some real-life Brigadoon, Bhutan carries on untroubled and unfussed by the tribulations elsewhere on the planet, providing a whole new meaning to the hackneyed old phrase "getting away from it all".
Bhutan is truly one of the last remaining outposts available to the world-weary traveller. Parochial without being backward, introspective without being paranoid or hostile, the Bhutanese appear blissfully ignorant of the stresses and anxieties that plague us in the so-called modern world.
In final episode of the series, Michael passes Tiger's Nest Monastery and treks towards the Base Camp of Chomolhari where he meets Dorji, a nomad with a penchant for yak songs. Heading down to Paro in time to enjoy the great Buddhist festival, or Tsechu, he witnesses the sacred Black Hat Dances in the fortress-like Dzong; archery contests in town; and the unfolding of the giant scroll, or thankha, during the night of the full moon. In a bar in the capital, Thimphu, Michael discusses reincarnation and the pursuit of happiness with Dash Benji and Ashi Khendum, the King's cousins, and en-route to Bangladesh is taken by Benji to Popshika valley to see the extremely rare black neck cranes.
Adventure Associates invites you to experience some of this magical kingdom with their 16-day, fully escorted tour; "Bhutan, the Last Shangri-La." Departing Australia on April 15, 2005 there are only a scant few places remaining on this much sought-after tour. And with strict tourist quotas applied by the Bhutanese Government, these numbers are definitely limited. Please book immediately!
Tour cost is A$8500 per person twin share, fully inclusive. For bookings and further information, please call Grahame Dann at Adventure Associates on (02) 9389 7466 or visit the website at: www.adventureassociates.com/bhutan/

Lone Father Starves For Months in Freezing Conditions While Raising Young
As politicians and union officials debate the many facets of parental leave, Australia's longest established tour operator to Antarctica, Adventure Associates, reminds us of some exemplary behaviour already existing in the natural kingdom.
The largest of the world's 17 species of penguin, the majestic Emperor of Antarctica, raises its young on the hard sea-ice of Antarctica huddled together against the biting winter winds. In a display of paternal instinct uncommon in the animal world, this intensely arduous task is performed by the Emperor males alone while the females stock up on food for a spring-time return.
The "Emperors of Antarctica" expeditions aboard the icebreaker Kapitan Khlebnikov, offer adventurers the rare opportunity to visit the Emperor Penguin colonies in the Ross Sea before the fledglings leave for the open ocean.
Dr Kirsten le Mar, a naturalist who has worked for several years on Adventure Associates' voyages, has studied Emperors in detail.
"The male Emperor Penguin is virtually abandoned by the female after the single egg is laid. He is left alone for the 70-day incubation period during the dark and bitterly cold winter months, going completely without food for this period, the male feeds the newly-hatched chick with thin regurgitated "milk".
"The female, gorged with squid and fish, returns soon after the chick has hatched and relieves the exhausted, emaciated male who must now walk and "toboggan" over the one hundred kilometres or so of frozen wasteland before he can reach the sea to feed. This meal will be his first for about six months and the ordeal is costly, leading to a higher mortality rate amongst the doting fathers, than the females."
The females occasionally fail to return from this dangerous quest, falling prey to Orcas or leopard seals. The male is then faced with the heart-breaking decision of having to abandon his chick before he himself starves to death.
The surviving young chicks grow slowly at first, taking on their distinctive black and white plumage around the head that gives them a great deal of appeal to observers and photographers. At about seven weeks of age, the young huddle together in crèches for warmth while the parents search for food to satisfy their hungry little ones.
With the approach of summer, the ice breaks up, bringing the open ocean closer to the colony. It is during this time that most shipboard visitors arrive and many chicks are well advanced and the first are beginning to moult.
By January the young are ready to fend for themselves and head out independently to the open ocean, saying goodbye to their devoted parents forever.

The MASW Masters program is the most recognizable and credible woodworking certificate program in America. To date, there have been nearly 400 people complete the program—which is incredible!
MASW is not a project school, but rather a technique school. With our diversity of workshops, it's possible to put together a curriculum with mainstream topics taught by the best craftspeople of modern time. Workshops are balanced throughout the year to help fit your busy lifestyle. Simply choose dates, instructors and specific topics that best suit your needs. Time is not a factor; you can work at your own pace and at any time—this is "personalized education" at its best!
The Masters program is currently based on 10 classes that allow students an opportunity to interact with, imitate, and question some of the great woodworking minds and talents of our time. Please note that classes from other schools are not transferable.
I'm often asked for a logical path for the order of workshops for completing the MASW Masters program. Although classes can be taken in any order, it's recommend that the Apprenticeship class be the final workshop.
It is suggested that students start with either the Joinery or Handskills class as one of your first two workshops. Design or Finishing should be the third and fourth choices. The remaining workshops can be any of the technique workshops such as Turning, Carving, Veneering/Marquetry, any elective or Chair Making and the final workshop should be the Apprenticeship class. This order will be the best way to build a sound foundation of woodworking where one class will build skills for the next class.
The Michael Fortune Fellowship program is open to anyone who has already completed their Masters. There will be no time limit for completion, and past selected in-depth classes can be applied if they meet the Fellowship requirements and were not used for the Masters program. Classes have no order of sequence other than the Artist-in-Residency program, which must be taken last. For complete guidelines on the requirements of the Michael Fortune Fellowship and detailed information on the Assistantship, Artist-in-Residency and the evaluation process, contact Marc@marcadams.com.
Although there are a lot of great turning programs in America today, not one offers a sound curriculum that challenges students to achieve beyond simply learning techniques or design. Working closely with Alan Lacer as the program's director, MASW has created a unique opportunity for woodturners. This is a chance to challenge yourself and certainly broaden your woodturning skills in exploring a wide array of different forms of woodturning. The MASW Alan Lacer Woodturning Fellowship will encourage research and exploration of the diversities of turning.
❱ Students are required to take specific workshops in any order, listed below.
❱ Contact Alan directly, alan@alanlacer.com for directions anytime during the process.
❱ Submit an article or tip to a publication.
❱ Submit at least one turning to a national, regional or state exhibition (must be a turning made outside of a class).
❱ Attend any turning class at MASW where you will assist the instructor AND make a short presentation of a mutually agreed upon topic with that instructor.
In 2018 the Worrell family started the David Worrell Scholarship. We had two incredible recipients. Grace Fundenberger attended the Stereotomy: Making a French Trestle Table class and Ryan Kihlstrum attened the Machinist Tool Chest class.
David Worrell was an Indianapolis based attorney who attended workshops at MASW for over 20 years. In 2004 he completed his Masters and was working on his Michael Fortune Fellowship when cancer became too much and on January 25, 2017 MASW lost another very dear friend and supporter of the school.
Applicants must be between the ages of 16-25 and have a desire to learn, a creative spirit and an aptitude of self-reliance. The scholarship includes the class of choice, if there are openings available. Applications are available through the school and must be submitted before April 1, 2019. Call Paula at 317-535-4013 for an application.
John C. Coolidge attended MASW from 1996 until his death in August 2003 and was well known for the rubber chicken that adorned his shop apron and the jester hat that he wore nearly every day. John was from a well-established eastern family—a family that included a president of the United States. He was an attorney from Orange, Mass. and worked very hard in local charities. John was a great friend, a great leader and a true torchbearer for MASW. It is with great honor that back in 2004 several of the MASW Masters (many were close friends of John) banded together to present an annual award to someone who has completed the Masters program and/or has excelled in the craft or overcome adversity/personal challenges or gone beyond the norm to help make MASW the leader in the world of craft schools. Recipients are chosen based on perseverance, effort, attitude and ability and receive a crystal plaque. This year we are fortunate enough to present this special award to Landon Norman-Donald.
Roger Cliffe was a family man, college professor, author, avid pool player, woodworker and a very dear friend. Roger died suddenly from a heart attack in 2001 while riding a bike. He had a doctorate degree in Industrial Arts and was a teacher with distinction at Northern Illinois University. Each summer during break, Roger would teach as many as five workshops, which almost always sold out. He was a born teacher who had a great impact on all he met; so much that a group of our alumni wanted to start a foundation in his memory. Today the RCMF has provided help to well over 150 students and interns to the tune of close to $300,000 worth of aid. Through generous and unselfish gifts, the RCMF continues to support people of all ages, races and nationalities in ways that help fulfill their lives as craftsmen and craftswomen. The goal of the RCMF is to keep the craft alive and available to anyone with special financial needs.
Or call the school at 317-535-4013 and ask for Paula Bueno.
Just think how great it would be to assist at MASW working with great teachers, excellent students, good food, top of the line equipment and a variety of class topics. Being an assistant will provide you with a great opportunity to better your woodworking skills as well as help you to acquire teaching experiences. This is only open to alumni of the school who are at least half way through completing their Masters. Volunteers will be expected to start early and work late, help make fixtures and assist in the safe operation of daily activities.
Satisfaction of helping others and free lunches each day! How can you turn that down? For more information contact marc@marcadams.com.

Amazon, International Paper, and Starbucks Join The Recycling Partnership to Help Create a Sustainable Future
Amazon, International Paper, and Starbucks Coffee Company have joined on as new funding partners of The Recycling Partnership, a rapidly growing national nonprofit that leverages corporate investment to transform recycling for good in hundreds of communities across the country. By supporting The Recycling Partnership, these major brands along with 34 other companies including Coca-Cola, Target, Pepsi and P&G are helping create more circular economy jobs, more material recovery and stronger, more equitable communities.
"Amazon, International Paper, and Starbucks Coffee Company have stepped up to the plate by dedicating dollars to create healthier communities through recycling," says Keefe Harrison, CEO of The Recycling Partnership. "We are empowered by the growing list of companies and communities that trust The Recycling Partnership to deliver swift, measurable change. They understand that collaboration is essential for building stronger solutions to environmental and community concerns, including recycling."
In just four years, The Recycling Partnership has leveraged $29 million in infrastructure to support 640 communities and counting to improve access to recycling and increase quality of recyclables. The growing groundswell of support from partners like Amazon, International Paper, and Starbucks shows that leading companies, across and within industries, want to invest in recycling solutions that create positive environmental, economic, and social change.
"At Starbucks we understand the power of working together to achieve complex sustainability goals," says Rebecca Zimmer, global director of environment at Starbucks. "We are proud to join The Recycling Partnership in order to leverage their capability of creating change at the community level in support of the development of a city by city infrastructure that will make recycling a reality, everywhere."
The Recycling Partnership's goal is to help every family in America recycle and recycle well, so that the country can double its current recycling rate and capture 22 million more tons of recyclables per year, avoid 50 million metric tons of greenhouse gas annually, and save $250 million in contamination costs every year.
"As one of the world's leading producers of renewable, fiber-based packaging, pulp and paper, we are committed to strengthening our people and the communities where we live and work, using all resources responsibly and efficiently and ensuring our businesses are safe, successful, and sustainable for generations to come," says Aimee Gregg, general manager recycling at International Paper. "Working with organizations like The Recycling Partnership, help us meet these commitments."
Companies that are making sustainability part of their corporate goals are the future of American business, according to Harrison.
"We've spent over 10 years at Amazon on innovations like Frustration-Free Packaging that help us eliminate waste, ensure products arrive intact, are easy to open, and are 100% recyclable," says Trent Huntington, sustainability manager at Amazon. "We're excited to work with The Recycling Partnership to improve recycling efforts in communities across the nation – a step that is good for customers, good for business, and good for the environment."
From Portland, Maine to Chicago, Illinois to Santa Fe, New Mexico, The Recycling Partnership has already impacted a quarter of the U.S. population through its recycling solutions.
"There is an equation for sustainable recycling success and the Partnership is making it happen," says Harrison. "The more support we receive from leading companies and organizations, the more people we can impact. The more people we impact, the healthier our economy and planet will be in the future."

The first volunteer program serving abused and neglected children was organized in 1977 in Seattle Washington. In 1982, the National CASA Association was established to serve as an umbrella organization for the growing number of programs in the country.
The growth and development of the CASA movement in Indiana can be attributed to the initiation of the Law and Child Protection Project in 1982. The project was designed to promote, develop and implement county child advocacy programs, and to train the volunteers and attorneys who worked within the programs. The Indiana Office of Guardian Ad Litem and Court Appointed Special Advocates was created by statute in July of 1989.
The Bartholomew County Youth Advocacy Commission was created in 1982, as a result of increasing juvenile delinquency in Bartholomew County. The commission hired a Youth Advocate to network among youth-serving agencies to identify gaps and barriers in services to children. The Youth Advocate frequently assumed the role of a CASA in the Bartholomew County Juvenile Court.
In 1987, the Bartholomew Circuit Court and the Youth Advocacy Commission established the CASA Program, with the first volunteer training held in September of that year.
The Bartholomew County CASA Program became CASA of South Central Indiana in 1990, after the Indiana General Assembly mandated the appointment of an advocate for the child in certain kinds of abuse and neglect cases. This legislation led to the formation of the regional program, with Shelby County joining the program in 2001.
In February 2004, with the advent of a new national logo, CASA of South Central Indiana became Advocates for Children. In 2005, the Indiana legislature mandated the appointment of an advocate for every abused and neglected child involved in a court proceeding. Effective in 2008, Shelby County separated from Advocate for Childrens and is operating independently. The current program serves children in Bartholomew, Decatur and Jennings counties.
Coordinators. The volunteer staff are responsible for directly working with the children and families. The paid staff are responsible for public relations/recruitment; the screening, training, supervision and support of the CASA volunteers; volunteer recognition; community networking; program development, and fundraising. Advocates for Children has access to pro bono legal services as needed.

Our dog "Tank", a 70 Kg, Boerboel, who at 5 months manifested a condition called Entropion (his eyelids were turning in and scraping his corneas), and was very miserable. This is usually fixed by surgery, but you have to wait until the head is full grown. We had to wait 5 months. During that time, we tried other lubricant eye drops, but none worked as good as Bright Eyes. Tank would come up and blink a few times for his eye drops, when his eyes hurt. He has since had the surgery, but he still asks for his eye drops occasionally. We have had other older dogs that we have used the Bright Eyes on to keep them from getting cataracts. Prevention is always better than cure in my book!
My whole family believe it has been the drops. We were crossing our fingers when we first started using them that maybe a miracle would happen & she would get a little bit of sight back. Not sure if she has more sight back but now jumps off the bed (when we are not looking) & barks like she used to before she went blind. I believe she has a little more sight since using the drops.

Witness of Colombian people a wealth for the church, pope says
/ September 13, 2017 /	591

By Junno Arocho Esteves
VATICAN CITY (CNS) — Colombia's long and arduous path toward reconciliation and a lasting peace after nearly half a century of war is a sign of hope for all Christians, Pope Francis said.
Speaking to pilgrims Sept. 13 at his weekly general audience, the pope said the motto of his visit Sept. 6-10 — "Demos el primer paso" ("Let's take the first step") — referred to the process of reconciliation that, while difficult, is "underway with the help of God."
"With my visit, I wanted to bless the efforts of that people, confirm them in faith and hope and receive their witness, which is a wealth for my ministry and for the whole church," the pope said.
Although still sporting a black eye after a minor accident during his stay in Cartagena, the pope was in good spirits, greeting pilgrims and kissing babies around St. Peter's Square.
Among those present at the audience was former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, who briefly greeted Pope Francis at the end of the general audience.
Recalling Colombia's tragic 52-year armed conflict, which was responsible for the deaths of more than 220,000 people, the pope said that while the country was torn apart, its strong Christian roots "constituted a guarantee of peace, the solid foundation of its reconstruction and the lifeblood of its invincible hope."
"It is evident that the evil one wanted to divide the people to destroy God's work, but it is equally evident that the love of Christ, his infinite mercy is stronger than sin and death," he said.
Departing from his prepared remarks, Pope Francis recalled how mothers and fathers lining up along the popemobile's route would hold up their children to receive a blessing.
"I thought to myself that a people capable of making children and capable of letting them be seen with pride and hope, this people has a future," the pope said.
The second day of the trip, which included the beatification of two Colombian martyrs and an evening prayer service in Villavicencio dedicated to reconciliation, was "the culminating moment of the entire visit," the pope said.
The Sept. 8 prayer service featured a crucifix from a church in Bojaya, an image of Jesus without arms or legs after an improvised homemade mortar launched by rebels crashed through the roof of a church and exploded in 2002.
The Christ of Bojaya, the pope said, was "mutilated like his people."
The beatification of Bishop Jesus Emilio Jaramillo Monsalve of Arauca, who was murdered by Colombian Marxist guerrillas in 1989, and Father Pedro Maria Ramirez, who was killed at the start of the Colombian civil war in 1948, served as a reminder that peace is also founded on the blood of the martyrs who are witnesses love, truth, justice and faith.
"To listen to their biographies was emotionally tearful: tears of both pain and joy," the pope said. "In front of their relics and their faces, the holy people of God have felt strongly their own identity; with pain, thinking of many, too many victims, and with joy for the God's mercy which stretches forth upon those who fear him."
Saints like St. Peter Claver and St. Mary Bernard Butler, who ministered in Colombia, he added, are also examples for Christians in protecting the rights and dignity of all men and women.
Both saints, he said, "gave their life for the poorest and the marginalized and thus they showed the true path of revolution — evangelical not ideological — that truly frees people and societies from yesterday's and, unfortunately, today's slavery."
The encounter of mercy and truth as well as justice and peace prophesied in the Psalms, Pope Francis said, were fulfilled in Colombia's "wounded people," allowing them to "rise up again and walk in a new life."
"These prophetic words — full of grace — we saw incarnate in the stories of witnesses who spoke in the name of many and of many who, through their wounds, with the grace of Christ were able to come out of themselves and opened themselves to the encounter, to forgiveness and reconciliation," the pope said.

March for Life: What about bathrooms? Food? We've got answers here


A 49-year-old Fargo man died after becoming pinned under a large metal bin while working at Butler Industries, a manufacturing and distributing company of agricultural equipment. He died in the hospital two days later from a traumatic brain injury.
The metal bin, similar to a commercial dumpster, was being loaded onto a truck when it slipped and landed on the man. An Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) investigation is underway, but may takes months to determine what caused this fatality. Whatever the determining cause – negligence, defective parts, etc., it will be imperative to put the proper measures in place so it does not happen again.
Whether or not this becomes a workers compensation case, a wrongful death case, or both, litigation is a foregone conclusion. An insurance company will represent the employer in a workers compensation lawsuit, or, if an alternate contractor was negligent, the contractor in a wrongful death lawsuit. This case may take months, if not years to resolve. Investigations must be conducted and the court dockets are crowded; it may easily take awhile for a case to wind its way through the legal process.
This unfortunate family has lost its principal means of support and may need some financial help to get through the long litigation process. They may want to consider a service known as lawsuit funding. Lawsuit funding, or lawsuit loan, as some call this valuable service, will assist the family with their ordinary bills and expenses as well as funeral and other accident related extraordinary expenses. The litigation funding company provides a lawsuit cash advance based on the merits of the lawsuit; your credit rating or job status does not matter. And, if you lose your case, the lawsuit cash advance is excused; you do not have to pay it back. This is called non-recourse lawsuit funding.
It is very easy to apply either by phone or online. If you qualify, you will have the money you need within 24-48 hours after approval. Please note that workers compensation lawsuit funding is not available in all states. The legal finance professionals can provide you with a list of those states where workers compensation lawsuit funding is available. Don't settle you case for pennies on the dollar before your case is ready. Give your attorney the time he/she needs to get you the right amount of compensation for your loss.


Applying a future is like taking a hostage. Your demands might be met in time, but until they are you're sitting around doing nothing other than guarding a prisoner.
So we don't like to take hostages or apply futures, but what good is a future if you can't do anything with its value? Luckily, you can do plenty. You just have to be flexible about when things happen.
A future is like an option that doesn't know what it is yet; that doesn't stop it from transforming into something else. We could transform an option of a string into an option of its length. Same goes for futures.
The length value is a future of integer.
How does print work on unknown values? It uses an option. You can use the same technique to access the integer value, if it's available.
But most of the time, you want to operate on values that are known to be available. In the next pages we'll see how far we can go in this direction by transforming futures.


Our Governing Council meetings take place approximately four times during our 2018-2019 term between July 1st, 2018 and June 30th, 2019. These are open meetings and we invite our CCA members interested in involvement to attend.
If you are interested in joining us, we would love to have you! Please RSVP for the meeting here.

Facts concerning the Late Arthur Jermyn and His Family
Created: February 2017 | Updated: February 2017
This article uses material from the Facts concerning the Late Arthur Jermyn and His Family article on the Lovecraft wiki at Fandom and is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike License.

"Facts Concerning the Late Arthur Jermyn and His Family" is a short story in the horror fiction genre written by H. P. Lovecraft 1920. The themes of the story are tainted ancestry, knowledge that it would be best to remain unaware of, and a reality which human understanding finds intolerable.
Both of Lovecraft's parents died in a mental hospital, and some writers have seen a concern with having inherited a propensity for physical and mental degeneration reflected in the plot of his stories, especially his 1931 novella, The Shadow Over Innsmouth, which shares some themes with Facts Concerning the Late Arthur Jermyn and His Family. As in many of his stories, the mind of a narrator deteriorates as his investigations uncover an intolerable reality, a central tenet of Cosmicism which Lovecraft outlines in the opening sentence of The Call of Cthulhu: "The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents." In a letter, Lovecraft described the impetus behind Facts Concerning the Late Arthur Jermyn and His Family:
The story begins by describing the ancestors of Sir Arthur Jermyn, a British nobleman. His great-great-great-grandfather, Sir Wade Jermyn, had been an early explorer of the Congo region, whose books on a mysterious white civilization there had been ridiculed. He had been confined to an asylum in 1765. Lovecraft describes how the Jermyn family has a peculiar physical appearance that began to appear in the children of Wade Jermyn and his mysterious and reclusive wife, who Wade claimed was Portuguese.
Wade's son, Philip Jermyn, was a sailor that joined the navy after fathering his son, and disappeared from his ship one night as it lay off the Congo coast. Philip's son, Robert Jermyn, was a scientist who made two expeditions into the interior of Africa. He married a daughter of the (fictional) 7th Viscount Brightholme and fathered three sons, one of which, Nevil Jermyn, had a son, Alfred, who was Arthur Jermyn's father. In 1852, Robert Jermyn met with an explorer, Samuel Seaton, who described "a grey city of white apes ruled by a white god". Robert killed the explorer after hearing this, as well as all three of his own sons. Nevil Jermyn managed to save his son Alfred before his death.
Alfred Jermyn grew up to inherit his grandfather's title, but abandoned his wife and child to join a circus, where he became fascinated with a gorilla "of lighter colour than the average". He became its trainer, but was killed in Chicago after an incident in which he attacked the gorilla. Arthur Jermyn inherited the family possessions, and moved into Jermyn House with his mother.
Arthur Jermyn is described as having a very unusual appearance, and supposedly the strangest in the line descended from Sir Wade Jermyn. Arthur became a scholar, eventually visiting the Belgian Congo on a research expedition, where he heard tales of a stone city of white apes and the stuffed body of a white ape goddess, which had since gone missing. Returning to a trading post, Arthur talks to a Belgian agent who offers to obtain and ship the goddess' body to him. Arthur accepts his offer and returns to England. After a period of several months, the body arrives at Jermyn House. Arthur begins his examination of the mummy, only to run screaming from the room and later commit suicide by dousing himself in oil and setting himself alight.
Lovecraft then describes the contents of the stuffed goddess' coffin—the ape goddess has a golden locket around her neck with the Jermyn arms on it, and bears a striking resemblance to Arthur Jermyn. It is clear that Wade Jermyn's supposedly Portuguese wife was really the ape goddess, and all of his descendants were the product of their union. Arthur's remains are neither collected or buried, on account of this. The mummy is removed and burnt by the Royal Anthropological Institute.

Last year's remarkable debut release, Rising Son, earned Big Bill Morganfield an avalanche of critical praise, culminating in winning the W.C. Handy Award as Best New Artist. From Billboard to People magazine to National Public Radio's "Weekend Edition," critics across the land were quick to extol the arrival of this impressive new talent on the blues scene.
Having made his mark with his first outing, the son of beloved blues patriarch Muddy Waters further establishes himself as a formidable artist in his own right on his sophomore release.
Bill's distinctive, window-rattling baritone voice and scintillating slide guitar are featured on a variety of original and cover tunes, including songs by Sonny Boy Williamson and Ray Charles. Very special guest Taj Mahal lends his stamp of approval and musical magic to some special recordings.
Due to some sly humor, a few jazz-oriented numbers (including "Mellow Chick Swing"), and the consistently strong material, this blues set is also recommended to fans of straight-ahead jazz. Ranging from a couple swinging pieces and some lowdown Muddy Waters-type blues to two strong appearances by Taj Mahal, this is a release that never lets up. Mr. B's piano solos are a major joy, the harmonica playing (by Bill Lupkin, Billy Branch, and Paul Oscher) is excellent, Morganfield's expressive vocals always hit their mark, and the music is quite enjoyable. Highly recommended.

Ok, so maybe buying a planet wasn't the best idea. Then again, joining the circus wasn't a good idea either, and neither was buying the zoo, or stealing the ship, or forging the immigration documents, or a whole plethora of other things which had left Robert broke, injured, incarcerated or any combination of the three.
Robert was no stranger to bad ideas, but sitting in the middle of a frozen ocean next to a one-way shuttle drove home the notion that maybe he wouldn't be able to get out of this situation. He looked at his reflection in the ice.
"Why? Why would you go and buy a planet? We had a good thing going! We had money, we had a car, we even had a house that wasn't infested with rats,"
His reflection, obviously, didn't respond.
Robert pitied himself for a while longer before standing up. The locator in his hand pointed him towards the location of his shelter, which he would have to get to to obtain luxuries like food and warmth.
Almost unconsciously, Robert started talking to himself yet again.
"What are we going to do once we actually get there, though?"
"I don't have the faintest idea,"
"Some help you are,"
"It's not like you're any better. You've only been here twenty minutes and you're already talking to yourself,"
"Once again, not helping. Make a plan with me,"
"Ok, step one: somehow make a profit from this frozen wasteland, step two: drive yourself even deeper into this hole you're digging for yourself,"
"Not constructive,"
"And yet depressingly true,"
He lapsed into silence. Thinking.
He couldn't help what he was doing. There was an old word that Earthmen had used: Wanderlust, itchy feet. It was Wanderlust that had propelled them from their small rock to their moon to their surrounding planets to the outskirts of the Milky Way itself. Wanderlust had led to them becoming the most advanced race in history; Robert had used that word to rationalise all of his bad decisions to himself. He had convinced himself that his nomadic lifestyle, his habit of spending money as soon as he got it, his compulsion to leave once things got too comfortable, were all just symptoms of a desire to be something bigger.
"But it wasn't, was it? It was self-destructive. You dug yourself a pit and told yourself it was a bridge."
Robert stayed silent.
"Remember Ariana? On Mhaajon? You met her, you married her, you made her pregnant and then you snuck out of the window and left her with a pile of gambling debt she didn't even know about."
The voice, unrelenting, continued.
"Lemme ask you a question,"
"You know the answer already,"
"Actually I don't, because you don't either,"
Robert grunted
"Why choose this planet? There were better ones we could have bought. You could tell that the guy selling it was happy to get rid of it,"
"Is there a point to this?"
"No, but then, there's been no point to anything you've done."
The voice shut up after that, leaving Robert alone in the cold. A part of him wished the voice had stayed, just to alleviate the boredom, but the majority was glad it was gone.
He checked the locator occasionally to make sure that he was on the right track, but for the most part, the only things moving were his legs. He fell into a hypnotic rhythm of putting one leg in front of the other. He was so locked into the rhythm that he almost didn't notice the ground beneath his feet turning from ice to a firm slush.
He was on solid ground. There wasn't long now until he arrived at his shelter.
With a clear head, he felt his old vivacity return to him. He began planning, muttering to himself under his breath.
He knew this planet had high amounts of water and iron deposits, as well as very fertile land. He would melt the surrounding snow and begin to plant crops. Then he could set up automatic mining and manufacturing facilities over the ore veins he would find. Then he could make a space elevator, and sell everything he made. And then there would be money, and-
"And what will you do with that money then?" Clearly the voice wasn't done with him. "Will you leave this place, just like you left everything else? Where will you go from there?"
Robert shut it out.
The surroundings were getting noticeably more craggy. There were dark red rocks jutting out of the snow now. Mountains began emerging on the horison. Upon checking the locator, he could see the flashing beacon where the shelter was drift to the right. Excited, he sprinted to the right. He saw a glint up ahead. There was a steel door built into the snow. Robert thrust his hand into his pocket and fished out the key the previous owner of the planet had handed to him and thrust it into the lock.
It was the key to a new world.
It was a key to his world.
Time would tell if he would stay.

The County Surveyor's Office manages the perpetuation of approximately 5300 government land corners and reference monuments over the 1,394 square miles of Stearns County. These monuments form the boundary lines for the Townships and Sections in our County and are used as the original basis for the subdivision of land. The locations of approximately 95% of the government land corners in Stearns County have been determined.
The PLSS is a standardized rectangular survey system that divided the western United States into townships and sections. Each section was to be 1 mile by 1 mile and each township was to contain 36 sections. Additionally, each section was to be marked (usually with wooden posts) at the section corners, quarter-section corners and meander corners. This initial subdivision of land is the basis for land title in Minnesota.
Visit the General Land Office (GLO) Historic Plat Map system for original Public Land Survey Plats and Field notes for Minnesota and a more complete history of the PLSS in Minnesota.
By statute, each government land corner must have a certificate of location of government corner prepared. These certificates contain information on: the location of the monument, measurements for the restoration of the monument if it is destroyed, and a statement of evidence supporting a monuments location. In Stearns County, certificates of location of government land corners are filed in the County Surveyor's Office.
Certificate of Location of Government Corners can be obtained from our Land Survey Application or by contacting our office.
As a service to the public, the County Surveyor's Office completes a survey of the boundary and the major interior subdivision of each section of land in the county that is called a section breakdown or retracement survey. Land Surveyors and Engineers utilize this information as a common starting point to perform private property land surveys and to construct our roads and bridges.
Section Breakdowns can be obtained from our Land Survey Application or by contacting our office.
If you are working in an area in Stearns County that needs a determination on the location of a missing Government Land Corner, please contact our office with the request. Our office will determine the location of the corner, file all necessary certificates and generate a section breakdown at no cost.
In the event that it becomes necessary to construct buildings or utilities that will affect a Government Land Corner, please contact our office with a request for the establishment of an accessory monument. As necessary, we will establish a witness corner to the Government Land Corner to be impacted prior to construction at no cost.
In the event that it becomes necessary to construct, reconstruct or otherwise perform maintenance to Roads and Streets, please contact our office with a notification during the planning stages of your project. As necessary, we will recover and lower monuments prior to construction and replace monuments after construction if necessary at no cost. A temporary accessory monument will be placed at the correct Government Land Corner surface location prior to construction.
What Do Government Land Corners Look Like?
During the original Government Land Office (GLO) survey of Stearns County in the mid-1800's, the original surveyors generally used wooden posts or stones to monument the corner locations. Over time, these original monuments have been lost due to decay or destroyed by development. In the early 1900's, the County Surveyor's Office began a partial remonumentation project using steel stakes with an engraved top. These monuments were more durable and were easier to locate. Other types of materials utilized for monuments throughout our history include axel shafts, well points, iron bars and railroad spikes.

Unlike many schools, we are very fortunate to have an onsite kitchen along with an excellent team of catering staff. They work tirelessly to produce balanced menus for our pupils, sourcing many of their ingredients locally to support small businesses wherever possible. We recognise that parental support for our school meals is well above the national average with a very healthy uptake throughout the entire year.
As I'm sure you can appreciate, over recent years inflation has resulted in significant increases in food costs. Despite this, we have tried our best to keep school meal prices down by freezing prices for the last 3 years (since April 2010).
Our school meals service is provided on a non-profit basis, and is indeed currently being subsidised by the school.
Unfortunately the school is unable to sustain the current level of subsidy on its school meals and has had to review the financial implications of this. Following this review, the school's governors have decided that the price charged for school meals needs to be increased. The average annual rate of inflation over the last 3 years has been 4% and the governors have set the price increase in line with this. This equates to a price increase from £2.00 per school meal to £2.25. We plan to introduce this revised price from Monday 3rd June.
Based on current elevated rates of inflation, the school will need to monitor and review the costing of school meals on a more regular basis.
We hope that this will not deter you from continuing your support for our excellent school meal service.


Still praying our novena. Sometimes I feel like the old Dunkin Donuts man in the commercial who used to say, "Time to make the donuts." That's ok. I don't have to feel all pumped and excited to pray, I just need to pray.
I'm also praying for the boys from Covington High School. Shame on the adults who verbally assaulted them, shame on the adults who allowed it to happen, shame on the media for crucifying them and releasing their private information, shame on their school and diocese for condemning them and shame on all the above for not issuing an apology once the truth was quickly revealed. They were in Washington DC to defend life and no one defended theirs.
I'm pondering the above situation. It used to be were taught to mind our own business in an effort to stay out of a conflict. Now, conflict seeks us out and then stands in our face beating a drum, literally. Minding our own business no longer offer protection against the enemies.
I'm also pondering this, would I be recognized and targeted as an enemy of the world? Something to think about huh?
The washing machine, the boys talking while they are eating their breakfast. Online I'm still making my way through the Seek 2019 Talks. They are so rejuvenating! Here is one of our favorites.
I think this year may be more verse mapping than creative journaling? At least for right now.
My Ninja Blender is cracked and I need a food processer, any recommendations?
Meal planning, grocery shopping, laundry; the blessed usual.
I must be deficient in Doritos Locos Nachos because since we had them at my sister's house a month ago, I've craved them every week since, lol! Also, I'm wondering if I need to eliminate dairy? Or maybe gluten? I have a doctor appointment later this week to see what's going on with my stomach. It is so much better since I started drinking Ningxia, but still a little naggy.
You know I wrote a post about Can Christians Use Essential Oils, well I have a perfect example that I shared on Instagram over the weekend about why the enemy cares and tries to scare us away from oils. A friend recommended the oil "Envision." It has some oils in it I like, but the description about awakening intuitive feelings or some other such stuff made me pause for a second. I went ahead and ordered it though after hearing how she was using it. Now, everytime I diffuse, wear or even just walk by the bottle of the oil, I start singing "Be Thou My Vision" in my head. I pause and ask God to give me His vision for my life and to help me see others the way He sees them, OF COURSE, THE ENEMY WANTED TO SCARE ME AWAY FROM ORDERING THAT OIL!
The blog redesign is almost finished! I'm compiling a Daily Lent Devotional for Women like the Daily Advent Devotional for Women. And I will probably make this available as part of our Online Bible Study during Lent.
In addition to saving money, our Young Living Essential Oil business is making money. I got still and quiet last night and considered how and why earning, saving, and giving money is important to our family. That thought process inspired me to continue to grow The Littlest Way and Go Bravely Essentials. We want time and financial freedom as a family and we want to be able to give like no one else (as Dave Ramsey says) to help other families enjoy the same.


My Fav Picks: Best Picture 12 years A Slave, Best Actor: Chiwetel Ejiofor, but I think Forrest Whitaker also deserves an award for "The Butler".
This Sunday will be the 71st Annual Golden Globe awards, hosted (once again) by Tina Fey and Amy Poehler. Of course, the real winners of the ceremony will be Poehler and Fey, but we have our own bets for the more standard categories. The list of nominees is extensive and impressive, with competition tight among films.
Both categories are tough, but 12 Years a Slave will win for Drama and American Hustle will win for Comedy. Both movies face stiff competition in their respective categories, but they seem like logical choices by process of elimination.
Their biggest competitors, as far as buzz is concerned, are Gravity (in Drama), and Her and Inside Llewyn Davis (in Comedy). Gravity, though, will likely not pull through due to its underwhelming writing, and Her and Inside Llewyn Davis are, frankly, barely comedies.
The Golden Globes tend to be more egalitarian when they hand out awards. With Best Picture (Drama) going to 12 Years a Slave, and Best Picture (Musical/Comedy) going to American Hustle, Alfonso Cauron will likely be recognized for his deft handling of the space drama Gravity. While the other directors did great jobs, it takes a master director to bring a film set entirely in space — and focused on one actress — to life. His care in coordinating special effects, artful sound design, and emotional acting will not go unrecognized.

I used Streamlight Scorpion for several years as my back-up tactical flashlight. The Scorpion is small and handy flashlight, with fairly bright light.
I was somewhat dissatisfied with the Scorpion, mainly for three reasons: Although the light is bright with fresh batteries, the light dims fairly fast and turns yellow. Secondly, the light can be turned on accidentally (I have had this happened two times when I put my duty belt on locker. The next time I put the belt on and checked the flashlight, the batteries were dead, and the lens had melted because the light warms up conciderably when lit). And lastly, the light does not have a proper momentary switch. If you press the click-on switch halfway down, you get a momentary light. But that is unacceptable in a tactical light, which will be used under high stress. (Actually, once on the shooting range while practicing flashlight techniques with a cover officer, I wondered why my partner used a constant beam on his flashlight, until I realized that I had accidentally clicked my flashlight into constant light).
Other than those gripes, the Scorpion is a pretty good light. It has fairly even tight beam, and although it is adjustable, you don´t want to widen it because there are some very bad dark rings on the beam when widened. The body of the flashlight is covered with rubber sleeve. Some people don´t like it, because it can stick to your clothing it carried on pocket. I have never had any problems with that, but then I carry it on holster. I have read that the sleeve can be loosened and it can start to twist, which can tear the sleeve apart. In my light, there is no evidence of that, however.
Scorpion would not be my first choice for a tactical flashlight (although I have used it as such in the past), but for general purpose use it is a very good flashlight, especially considering the price: You can probably get it for less than $20.
I bought my Streamlight Scorpion at the end of 1995 as a backup for my SL20. I carried my Scorpion my duty belt until April of 2002. The only problem I ever had with the scorpion was the reflector housing unscrewed once while I was sitting in my patrol vehicle and fell on the floor board. Luckly it was at the end of the shift and I did not need and/or lose any of the pieces. Some where along the way I've managed to crack the lense. I know what you mean about the light turning yellow when the batteries start to run down. Some time around 1996-97, I bought a surefire and after buying two new lamp assembies within two weeks I sold it and have never bought another one. About two months ago, I bought a sure fire knock off from Cheaper then dirt for $25.00 to keep in my pickup truck. I liked it so much that I now carry it. The only down side is it is bigger then my Scorpion. After reading your review of the Pelican M6 flashlight, I might take a closer look at one even though I'd like to get a smaller rechargable flashlight then my SL20.
I've used Scorpion's for several years with zero problems. I use them handheld and weapon mounted. Never failed me, never broke and they are priced right. About $20 last time I checked at botachtactical.com.
