UN Volunteers provide vital health support to the UN Mission in Somalia (UNSOM) and to many of its partners active on the ground. They provide the critical human resources necessary for the Mission to maintain healthy operations in the country, and despite all hurdles, these UN Volunteers deliver ongoing medical services and training that sustain the health of partners and UN personnel and reinforce their ability to carry on with the mandate of the UN in the country.
UN Volunteers serving with the UN Mission in Somalia (UNSOM) have a unique set of challenges. The security situation is such that independent circulation is highly restricted, if not impossible. The volatile environment poses continuous security risks both to local populations and to UN personnel. Suicide bombings, kidnappings, assaults, and theft—all exasperated by the ongoing threat of famine and the desperation that is born from the economic crisis that plagues the country—impose on all UN personnel a strict code of conduct that greatly limits the potential for interactions with local populations. In Mogadishu, the day routinely begins with a survey of serving UN Volunteers to ensure their location and safety—sending messages, making phone calls, and communicating with various UN agency support staff.
UN Volunteer Medical Doctors and Officers, part of the Medical Emergency Team (MERT), are essential to the operations of the UN Department for Safety and Security (UNDSS) in Somalia. The medical team supports the Mission by firstly assuring the health of its personnel, a critical element of UN operations in remote and isolated areas where little to no external support can be provided. In addition to the needs of UN agencies in the country, these UN Volunteers regularly offer training to medical and para-medical personnel outside of UN operations, sharing their expertise with the African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM), the Somali National Armed Forces (SNAF), and a variety of national partners involved in the Somali peace process. Ten international UN Volunteers currently serve in medical capacities for the Mission.
UNV is a partner of choice when it comes to this mission because it is a valuable bridge between us as a mission and the Somali community. Some of the volunteers have worked in other missions with similar mandates and they come with a wealth of experience. For example, our UN Volunteer Medical Officers and Nurses offer direct medical attention to a number of our staff and their dependents." —Mr. Amadu Kamara, Director United Nations Support Office in Somalia (UNSOS).
The trainings offered by theses UN Volunteers support the development of medical capabilities in Somalia. They cover everything including basic life support (BLS), advanced cardiac life support (ACLS), pre-hospital trauma life support (PHTLS), public health education, and HIV/AIDS prevention. Furthermore, UN Volunteer Medical Officers participate in advanced preparation and implementation of mass casualty incidence (MCI) response, medical evacuation (MEDEVAC), and evacuation of casualties (CASEVAC), assuring through their training sessions that standard operating procedures are observed by all.
Limited interaction between UN Volunteers and local communities have proven to be a major obstacle to their volunteer service beyond the duties of their assignments, limiting opportunities for engagement with vulnerable groups. Despite their desire to be more involved with local communities, security concerns simply prohibit their free movement outside of the UN compound—an obstacle even harder to accept for those who are obliged to serve remotely from Nairobi, Kenya. Obtaining the requisite security clearances needed to travel is difficult even under the best circumstances. Perhaps one day soon, peace will return to Somalia and this situation will change.

The Cherub is a 12 feet long, high performance, two-man planing dinghy first designed in 1951 in New Zealand by John Spencer. The class is a development (or "box rule") class, allowing for significant variation in design between different boats within the rule framework. The minimum hull weight was originally 110 lbs.
The Cherub is Bermuda-rigged with trapeze(s), and has a crew of two. The Cherub has been through a number of changes. In the 1950s the designs had considerable keel rocker. The most popular design from this era was Spencer's Mk7 built in plywood but by 1971 most successful designs had much less rocker and flatter sections aft to promote planning. Considerable care was needed to achieve the 110lbs hull weight. In 1970 the small jib was enlarged to an overlapping genoa about 8 square feet bigger. By the late 1960s new boats were being built with aluminium masts which were lighter and stiffer. Up to 1980 boats were generally built from 3 and 4 mm plywood but after this some were made from foam sandwich construction pioneered by Russell Bowler in New Zealand. Some Cherubs did dual service in New Zealand sailing in the Q class (unrestricted 12ft). The Cherub hull was used with a short bowsprit,a taller mast and much larger sail area with both the crew and skipper using trapezes.
Current Cherubs use an asymmetric spinnaker system but earlier boats used relatively large double luff spinnakers and used a notably long (9 foot) spinnaker pole. Cherubs have a high power-to-weight ratio and are very quick downwind in stronger breezes but can be slow upwind in lighter airs compared to longer boats. The Cherub has a RYA Portsmouth number of 930.
Many Cherub sailors are in their late teens or early twenties but the flexibility of the class and the Cherub's great sailing qualities mean that they are also attractive to many older sailors. Many women sail Cherubs, both as skippers and as crews. Husband/wife, boyfriend/girlfriend, brother/sister and parent/child combinations of crew are common.In the 1960s and 1970s the Cherub was a popular sailing dinghy in New Zealand when they were mainly amateur built. Cherubs are nowadays mainly sailed in Australia and the UK, with some boats in other countries, notably France and small numbers in New Zealand.
The class differs in detail specification between the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. The Northern boats use a second trapeze and permit appreciably larger sails than the Southern Hemisphere boats.

Q: trying to assign a variable to JS object I am very new to JS world. what I have done is,created a form, in which i am pulling form field values into variables and assigning them to an object(obj), again i am assigning the 'obj' object to 'param' object, console.log(param) gives me undefined. Any help will be appreciated
I have put my code here
  <form accept-charset="UTF-8" id="user-profile-form" method="post" action=""   enctype="multipart/form-data" autocomplete="off" novalidate="novalidate">

     <fieldset data-user-email="" class="fs-email-name">

Name and Email

     First Name *
     <input type="textbox" maxlength="14" size="60" value="" name="field_first_name" id="edit-field-first-name-und-0-value" class="text-full form-text required">

First Name

       Last Name *
       <input type="text" maxlength="14" size="60" value="" name="field_last_name[und][0][value]" id="edit-field-last-name-und-0-value" class="text-full form-text required">

Last Name

       E-mail address *
       <input type="text" class="form-text required email" maxlength="254" size="60" value="" name="mail" id="edit-mail">

email@email.com

   </fieldset>

      <input type="submit" class="form-submit" value="Save Changes" name="op" id="edit-submit-ca">
     <input type="submit" class="form-submit" value="Delete your account" name="op" id="edit-cancel">Cancel

   </form>

A: Here is the DEMO JS BIN code
var obj = {};
function user_pref_data(){
   var param={};

   var FirstName;
   var LastName;
   var email;

   param.param = obj;
   console.log(param);
}
$("input#edit-submit-ca").on('click', function(event){
  //alert("hi")

  user_pref_data();
  return false;

});
$("#edit-field-first-name-und-0-value").focusout(function(){
       FirstName = this.value;
      obj.frstnam = FirstName;
       console.log(FirstName);
});
$("#edit-field-last-name-und-0-value").focusout(function(){
      LastName = this.value;
      obj.lstnam = LastName;
});
$("#edit-mail").focusout(function(){
      email = this.value;
      obj.eml = email;
});

Made some changes in your code. Add this.
The focusout event functions cannot be defined in another function for them to occur.
As your function user_pref_data() was getting called only on submit action, those focusout events never occured.

A: You have access the value on focusout event and even you have bind that event handler on submitting page that is bad practice. normally all event handler has to be bind at the beginning. check the solution below.
function user_pref_data(){
  var param={};
  var obj = {};
  var FirstName;
  var LastName;
  var email;

  FirstName = $("#edit-field-first-name-und-0-value").val();
  LastName = $("#edit-field-last-name-und-0-value").val();
  email = $("#edit-mail").val();

   obj.frstnam = FirstName;
   obj.lstnam = LastName;
   obj.eml = email;
   param.param = obj;
   console.log(param);
}

A: you want to get the values of form field on focusout?
Try this :
var FirstName;
  var LastName;
  var email;
$("#edit-field-first-name-und-0-value").focusout(function(){
       FirstName = this.value;
       console.log(FirstName);
    });
  $("#edit-field-last-name-und-0-value").focusout(function(){
      LastName = this.value;
    });
  $("#edit-mail").focusout(function(){
      email = this.value;
    });

function user_pref_data(){
  var param={};
  var obj = {};

   obj.frstnam = FirstName;
   obj.lstnam = LastName;
   obj.eml = email;
   param.param = obj;
   console.log(param);
}
$("input#edit-submit-ca").on('click', function(event){
  //alert("hi")

  user_pref_data();
  return false;

});

Working Example - Check your console
Jquery .focusout() event is sent to an element when it, or any element inside of it, loses focus.
Because, In your code you bind the .focusout() event when the function user_pref_data() is executing and that time the foucs-out event not fired.

A: Very strange, but I fixed it changing $("#id") to document.getElementById().
change this line:
$("#edit-field-first-name-und-0-value").focusout(function(){
      FirstName = this.value;
    });

to this:
FirstName = document.getElementById("edit-field-first-name-und-0-value").value;

maybe you forgot to include jQuery libraries?
Oh, I see you do included them.

A: Rashim Javiya's example is perfect but just to add to that and why your code wasn't working is because javascript is based on an event loop. the function user_pref_data() was called on the submit event that called focus out events that had already passed (personally i wouldnt fetch input data on focus out events--refer to Rashims code above but below is an example of your same //with few modifcations // code working because I initilize your function without attaching it to an event.
(function user_data_function() {
var param;
var obj = {};
var FirstName;
var LastName;
var email;

$("#edit-field-first-name-und-0-value").focusout(function(){
   FirstName = this.value;
   console.log(FirstName);
});
$("#edit-field-last-name-und-0-value").focusout(function(){
  LastName = this.value;
});
$("#edit-mail").focusout(function(){
  email = this.value;
});

$("input#edit-submit-ca").on('click', function(event){
//alert("hi")

obj.frstnam = FirstName;
obj.lstnam = LastName;
obj.eml = email;
param = $.param( obj );
console.log(param);
event.preventDefault(); // works same as 'return false' in your code but this is best practice

});
})(); // initilize and call function at same time

again not the way i would write this code, but for demonstation purposes i hope this clears up how the event loop works with javascript

Hackbright Academy is a community that encourages learning, collaboration, and engagement in the developer community.
We value the participation of each member of the community and we want everyone who is involved to have an enjoyable and fulfilling experience. Accordingly, all members are expected to show respect and courtesy to others at all times.
To make clear what is expected, all Hackbright team and community members are required to conform to the following Community Guidelines. Organizers will enforce the guidelines in Hackbright Academy's physical and online spaces.
Like the technical community as a whole, the Hackbright team and community is made up of a mixture of professionals and volunteers from all over the world, working on every aspect of the mission – including mentorship, teaching, and connecting people.
Diversity is one of our huge strengths, but it can also lead to communication issues and unhappiness. To that end, we have a few ground rules that we ask people to adhere to. This code applies equally to founders, mentors and those seeking help and guidance.
This isn't an exhaustive list of things that you can't do. Rather, take it in the spirit in which it's intended – a guide to make it easier to enrich our community and those in which we participate.
This code of conduct applies to all spaces managed by Hackbright Academy. This includes the mailing list, events, and any other forums created by the Hackbright team, which the community uses for communication. In addition, violations of this code outside these spaces may affect a person's ability to participate within them.
If you believe someone is violating the code of conduct, we ask that you report it by emailing conduct@hackbrightacademy.com.
We strive to be a community that welcomes and supports people of all backgrounds and identities. This includes, but is not limited to members of any race, ethnicity, culture, national origin, colour, immigration status, social and economic class, educational level, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, age, size, family status, political belief, religion, and mental and physical ability.
Your work will be used by other people, and you in turn will depend on the work of others. Any decision you take will affect users and colleagues, and you should take those consequences into account when making decisions. Remember that we're a worldwide community, so you might not be communicating in someone else's primary language.
We will not all agree all the time, but disagreement is no excuse for poor behavior and poor manners. We might all experience some frustration now and then, but we cannot allow that frustration to turn into a personal attack. It's important to remember that a community where people feel uncomfortable or threatened is not a productive one. Members of the Hackbright community should be respectful when dealing with other members as well as with people outside the Hackbright community.
Discriminatory jokes and language:
Posting sexually explicit or violent material.
Posting (or threatening to post) other people's personally identifying information ("doxing").
Personal insults, especially those using racist or sexist terms.
Violent threats or language directed against another person.
Unwelcome sexual attention.
Advocating for, or encouraging, any of the above behavior.
Repeated harassment of others. In general, if someone asks you to stop, then stop.
Disagreements, both social and technical, happen all the time and Hackbright is no exception. It is important that we resolve disagreements and differing views constructively. Remember that we're different. The strength of the Hackbright community comes from its varied community, people from a wide range of backgrounds. Different people have different perspectives on issues. Being unable to understand why someone holds a viewpoint doesn't mean that they're wrong. Don't forget that it is human to err and blaming each other doesn't get us anywhere. Instead, focus on helping to resolve issues and learning from mistakes.
Thank you for helping make Hackbright a welcoming, friendly place for all.

The Voynich manuscript that date back to between 1404 and 1438 contains several series of illustrations of the same subject-matter and even few circles that – when spinned around the center – would create an illusion of a motion.
These devices produced the appearance of movement from sequential drawings using technological means, but animation did not really develop much further until the advent of cinematography. The cinématographe was a projector, printer, and camera in one machine that allowed moving pictures to be shown successfully on a screen which was invented by history's earliest film makers, Auguste and Louis Lumière, in 1894.
There is no single person who can be considered the "creator" of film animation, as there were several people working at about the same time on projects which could be considered animation.
Georges Méliès was a creator of special-effect films and was generally regarded as one of the first people to use animation. He discovered the technique by accident when stopping his camera from rolling in order to change something in the scene, and then continuing rolling the film. This idea was later known as stop-motion animation. Méliès' camera broke down while shooting a bus driving by. When he had fixed the camera, a hearse happened to be passing by just as Méliès restarted rolling the film; his end result was that he had managed to make a bus transform into a hearse. He was just one of the great contributors to the development of animation in the early years.
J. Stuart Blackton was possibly the first American filmmaker to use the techniques of stop-motion and hand-drawn animation.
Introduced to film-making by Edison, he pioneered these concepts at the turn of the 20th century with his first copyrighted work, dated 1900. Several of his films, among them The Enchanted Drawing (1900) and Humorous Phases of Funny Faces (1906) were film versions of Blackton's "lightning artist" routine, and utilized modified versions of Méliès' early stop-motion techniques to make a series of blackboard drawings appear to move and reshape themselves. Humorous Phases of Funny Faces is regularly cited as the first true animated film, and Blackton is considered the first true animator.
Another French artist, Émile Cohl, began drawing cartoon strips and created a film in 1908 called Fantasmagorie. The film largely consisted of a stick figure moving about and encountering all manner of morphing objects, such as a wine bottle that transforms into a flower. There were also sections of live action where the animator's hands would enter the scene. The film was created by drawing each frame on paper and then shooting each frame onto negative film, which gave the picture a blackboard look. This makes Fantasmagorie the first animated film created by using what came to be known as traditional (hand-drawn) animation.
Following the successes of Blackton and Cohl, many other artists began experimenting with animation. One such was Winsor McCay, a successful newspaper cartoonist who created detailed animations that required a team of artists and painstaking attention to detail.
Each frame was drawn on paper, which invariably required backgrounds and characters to be redrawn and animated. Among McCay's most noted films are Little Nemo (1911), Gertie the Dinosaur (1914) and The Sinking of the Lusitania (1918).
The production of animated short films, typically referred to as "cartoons", became an industry of its own during the 1910s, and cartoon shorts were produced for showing in movie theaters. The most successful early animation producer was John Randolph Bray, who, along with animator Earl Hurd, patented the cel animation process which dominated the animation industry for the rest of the decade.
Computer animation has become popular since Toy Story (1995), the first animated film completely made using this technique.
In 2008, the animation market was worth US$68.4 billion.
Traditional animation (also called cel animation or hand-drawn animation) was the process used for most animated films of the 20th century. The individual frames of a traditionally animated film are photographs of drawings that are first drawn on paper. To create the illusion of movement, each drawing differs slightly from the one before it. The animators' drawings are traced or photocopied onto transparent acetate sheets called cels, which are filled in with paints in assigned colors or tones on the side opposite the line drawings. The completed character cels are photographed one-by-one against a painted background by a rostrum camera onto motion picture film .
Examples of traditionally animated feature films include Pinocchio (United States, 1940), Animal Farm (United Kingdom, 1954), Akira (Japan, 1988), and L'Illusionniste (British-French, 2010). Traditional animated films which were produced with the aid of computer technology include The Lion King (US, 1994) Sen to Chihiro no Kamikakushi (Spirited Away) (Japan, 2001), Les Triplettes de Belleville (France, 2003), and The Secret of Kells (Irish-French-Belgian, 2009).
• Full animation refers to the process of producing high-quality traditionally animated films that regularly use detailed drawings and plausible movement. Fully animated films can be made in a variety of styles, from more realistically animated works such as those produced by the Walt Disney studio (Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, Lion King) to the more 'cartoon' styles of the Warner Bros. animation studio. Many of the Disney animated features are examples of full animation, as are non-Disney works such as The Secret of NIMH (US, 1982), The Iron Giant (US, 1999), and Nocturna (Spain, 2007).
• Limited animation involves the use of less detailed and/or more stylized drawings and methods of movement. Pioneered by the artists at the American studio United Productions of America, limited animation can be used as a method of stylized artistic expression, as in Gerald McBoing Boing (US, 1951), Yellow Submarine (UK, 1968), and much of the anime produced in Japan. Its primary use, however, has been in producing cost-effective animated content for media such as television (the work of Hanna-Barbera, Filmation, and other TV animation studios) and later the Internet (web cartoons).

Lilyan Tashman (ur. 23 października 1896 w Nowym Jorku, zm. 21 marca 1934 tamże) – amerykańska aktorka filmowa i teatralna, najbardziej znana z drugoplanowych ról złoczyńczyń lub mściwych "innych kobiet". Wystąpiła w 66 filmach.

Życiorys

Życie prywatne
Urodziła się jako dziesiąte i najmłodsze dziecko w żydowskiej rodzinie na Brooklynie w Nowym Jorku. Była córką Rose (z domu Cook), która urodziła się w Niemczech, i Maurice'a Tashmanów, producenta odzieży z Białegostoku. Była wysoką, szczupłą blondynką o gardłowym głosie.

W 1914 poślubiła wodewilowca Ala Lee. Rozstali się w 1920, a rozwiedli w 1921. W 1925 wyszła za mąż za aktora Edmunda Lowe'a, wieloletniego przyjaciela. Oboje stali się ulubieńcami hollywoodzkich reporterów i byli ukazywani w prasie jako "idealne małżeństwo". Tashman została opisana przez reporterkę Gladys Hall jako "najbardziej błyszcząca, nowoczesna, twarda i wyróżniająca się kobieta w całym Hollywood". Para hojnie bawiła się w "Lilowe", domu w Beverly Hills. Garderoba Tashman kosztowała milion dolarów. Słynęła z ekstrawagancji. Siedemdziesiąt lat po jej śmierci pisarz E.J. Fleming twierdził, że Edmund Lowe był gejem, a Tashman lesbijką. Jednak autorzy i autorki tekstów w magazynach i felietoniści gazet nie wspominali o tym ani za życia Tashman, ani później (w ocenie biografów, od 1927 do 1930 była w związku z Gretą Garbo).

W 1932 Tashman trafiła do szpitala w Nowym Jorku w celu usunięcia wyrostka robaczkowego. Wyszła ze szpitala wychudzona i osłabiona. Chociaż nakręciła jeszcze pięć filmów, znacznie osłabła. Jej rola w Riptide została ograniczona z powodu stale pogarszającego się stanu zdrowia. W lutym 1934 poleciała do Nowego Jorku, ale jej stan wymagał tygodnia odpoczynku w Connecticut. Wróciła do pracy w marcu. Dwa później później pojawiła się w izraelskim Domu Sierot. Kiedy 16 marca trafiła do szpitala na operację, było już za późno, by lekarze mogli jej pomóc.

Tashman zmarła na raka w Doctor's Hospital w Nowym Jorku. Jej pogrzeb odbył się 22 marca w nowojorskiej synagodze Temple Emanu-El z udziałem Sophie Tucker, Mary Pickford, Fanny Brice, Cecila Beatona, Jacka Benny'ego i innych wybitnych osobistości. Pochówek na Cmentarzu Waszyngtońskim w Brooklynie przyciągnął 10 000 fanów, żałobników i ciekawskich gapiów; doszło do zamieszek, ludzie zostali ranni, a nagrobek przewrócony. Tashman nie pozostawiła testamentu, ale podział 31 tys. dolarów w gotówce i 121 tys. dolarów w futrach i klejnotach wywołał niesnaski między jej mężem a siostrami, Hattie i Jennie.

Kariera

Uczęszczała do Girl's High School na Brooklynie. Zadebiutowała w wodewilu. W 1914, jako siedemnastolatka, była doświadczoną wykonawczynią. Występowała w Song Revue w Milwaukee w stanie Wisconsin ze wschodzącymi gwiazdami Eddiem Cantorem i Alem Lee. W 1916 zagrała Violę w inspirowanym Szekspirem numerze dla Ziegfeld Follies i pozostała z Follies przez lata 1917–1918. W 1919 producent David Belasco dał jej drugoplanową rolę w komedii Avery'ego Hopwooda The Gold Diggers. Program trwał dwa lata, a Tashman występował jako dublerka i czasami zastępował gwiazdę Inę Claire.

W 1921 zadebiutowała w filmie Experience i przez następne półtorej dekady występowała w wielu niemych produkcjach. Kiedy The Gold Diggers się zamknęli, pojawiła się w sztukach The Garden of Weeds i Madame Pierre. W 1922 zagrała małą rolę w filmie Mabel Normand Head Over Heels. W 1922 przeniosła się do Kalifornii i szybko znalazła pracę w filmach. W 1924 wystąpiła w pięciu produkcjach (w tym w kinowej adaptacji The Garden of Weeds) i otrzymała dobre recenzje za występy. Przenosiła się ze studia do studia. W 1931 podpisała długoterminowy kontrakt z Paramount. Nakręciła dziewięć filmów dla studia.

W 1925 wystąpiła w 10 filmach, w tym w Pretty Ladies z Joan Crawford i Myrną Loy. W latach 1926–1929 wystąpiła w wielu filmach, została cenioną drugoplanową aktorką, wystąpiła w niezależnych filmach Rocking Moon (1926) i The Woman Who Did Not Care (1927).

Prague, June 21 (CTK) - Andrej Babis, Czech deputy prime minister and finance minister, would completely leave politics if his ANO movement did not get into the government after the 2017 general election, this ensues from an interview he gave to yesterday's issue of daily Hospodarske noviny (HN).
"If we do not win [the next general election] and end up in opposition, I will not be in opposition. This is ruled out. I cannot be sitting in a talking shop where some are playing at democracy," Babis told HN.
Babis, a billionaire businessman, said he would better focus on business and go travelling in his leisure time.
Babis, 61, entered high politics after the general election in 2013, when ANO gained 18.5 percent of the vote, trailing the winning Social Democrats (CSSD) by less than 2 percent.
Public opinion polls have long put ANO before the CSSD. However, even if ANO won, it could find itself in opposition similarly to Jiri Paroubek in 2010, when he headed the CSSD. He did not find any coalition partner and the government was formed by the rightist Civic Democrats (ODS), who were beaten in the election, HN writes.
Babis might face a similar problem after the next general election because he has been in a "war of words" over changes in the police with the CSSD who would probably be his closest partners in the team that will rule the country in 2017-21.
He has several times threatened with departure from the government or with withdrawal from the government coalition agreement, HN writes.
In connection with the prepared police restructuring, within which the anti-mafia and anti-corruption squads are to be merged, Babis has called Interior Minister Milan Chovanec (CSSD) of being "the godfather of godfathers," HN writes.
It writes that he has also said that Prime Minister Bohuslav Sobotka (CSSD) lies.
In the interview, however, Babis has moderated his words saying that "there are also a number of decent people among the Social Democrats, one of whom is the prime minister."
The CSSD takes a pragmatic attitude to cooperation with Babis on the government level, which their deputy group's head Roman Sklenak indicated on Monday, too, HN writes.
"Though governance with ANO is very complicated and Mr Babis's attacks on us are very unpleasant, it is most important for us that the CSSD, which won 20 percent of the vote, has already pushed through the government coalition more than 80 percent of its manifesto," Sklenak said.
ANO's relations with its other government coalition partner, the Christian Democrats (KDU-CSL), are not much better, HN writes and adds that Babis has repeatedly criticised the party's chairman and deputy prime minister for research, Pavel Belobradek.
Belobradek has, for instance, criticised Babis for his recent case involving EU subsidies for his Capi hnizdo (Stork's Next) conference centre.
"I see the reason in that Mr Belobradek does not have much to do at his artificially created office, he is bored, he is chatting with journalists via Twitter even at government meetings," the Novinky.cz server quoted Babis as saying in March, HN writes.
If the general election next year again ended in a small difference between the gains of ANO and the CSSD, Babis would no longer reconcile himself to a smaller number of ministers, HN writes.
The CSSD now has eight ministers, ANO six and the KDU-CSL three.
"The current coalition agreement is bad. We were naive. Yesterday, we would try to negotiate a better agreement in order not to be rolled over in the government like now," Babis said.
Babis cannot even bet on President Milos Zeman, whom he hosted at his Capi hnizdo farm recently, the current controversy over police restructuring has shown, HN writes.
Zeman did invite both Babis and Chovanec to discuss the developments in his seat in Lany near Prague, but Chovanec signed the restructuring soon afterwards, HN writes.
"I hoped that the president will tell minister Chovanec to postpone the signature because the restructuring destroys two very important police squads," Babis said about the plan which has caused a big outcry on the political scene.
Zeman has publicly sided neither with Chovanec nor with Babis. He has only invited them to joint talks on this Wednesday again, HN writes.

Q: How can I add a dropdown/select using RoR helper? I have a from like this:
<% form_for(@user) do |f| %>
  <%= f.error_messages %>

    <%= f.label :username %>

    <%= f.text_field :username %>

    <%= f.label :email %>

    <%= f.text_field :email %>

    <%= f.label :password %>

    <%= f.password_field :password %>

    <%= f.label :password_confirmation %>

    <%= f.password_field :password_confirmation %>

        <%= f.label :role %>

        <%= f.text_field :role%>

    <%= f.submit 'Create' %>

<% end %>

In the database, role is a "Char" field. I want it different from a textfield, the user can select "Teacher", "Student", if the user select "Teacher", the database will store "T", otherwise, it will store "S". How can I do so? It is necessary for me to add a "User role" table in the database, and then make a relationship with the user? But it is necessary to do it this way? thank u.

A: Ref select and  options_for_select
<%= f.select :role, options_for_select([["Teacher", "t"], ["Student", "s"]]) %>


The Fifth Castle of Ancient Hyrule is a location mentioned in the book The Shadow Prince. It is situated in the southeast corner of Hyrule, past many deserts, rivers, and swamps.
After the King of Hyrule decides that the Triforce of Wisdom is in danger of being taken by Ganon from its chamber in North Castle, the king announces that it must be relocated to the Fifth Castle of Ancient Hyrule. Due to the many dangerous terrains that exist between the Fifth Castle and North Castle, the king considers the Fifth Castle to be a good hiding place for the Triforce since it is unlikely that Ganon and his forces will ever be able to obtain it. When Princess Zelda asks who will deliver the Triforce of Wisdom there, the king mentions he has two heroes in mind: Link and Charles. Anxiously, Link awaits the king's decision, but it is soon revealed that Charles will be the one to take the Triforce to the Fifth Castle.

Israel begins construction of new Gaza border barrier

OCCUPIED JERUSALEM — Israel said Sunday that work to strengthen its border with the Gaza Strip had entered a new phase, with construction starting on a massive new barrier along the frontier.
"Over the weekend we began building the above-ground barrier along the Gaza border", Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told journalists before the weekly Cabinet meeting.
The barrier, set to stand six metres off the ground, "will prevent terrorists from Gaza from penetrating into our territory on the ground", he said in Hebrew.
Netanyahu gave no further details but a defence ministry statement said that work on the structure began Thursday.
It is set to follow the 65-kilometre course of an underground barrier also under construction meant to neutralise the threat of cross-border tunnels built by Gazans.
At its western end, the statement said, the above-ground barrier would join a fortified sea wall jutting into the Mediterranean, aimed at blocking Palestinian attacks by water.
"It's massive and especially strong," the ministry said in an accompanying video clip.
In the last Gaza war in 2014, Israeli forces killed four Hamas members who had managed to cross into Israel by water.
Some Israeli commentators have said that Netanyahu would be unwilling to see a new uptick in hostilities with Gaza's Hamas rulers in the run-up to general elections set for April 9.
But the premier, who is also defence minister, on Sunday pledged the upcoming polls would not affect security decisions.
"If the quiet is not maintained in Gaza, we will make the decisions even in the elections period and will not hesitate to act," he said.
Palestinians have for nearly a year gathered at least weekly along the Gaza border for often-violent protests.
They want to be able to return to the homes their families fled in the war surrounding Israel's creation in 1948, and are calling for an end to Israel's blockade of Gaza.
At least 246 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli fire in Gaza since March 30, the majority during border protests but also by tank fire and air strikes.
Two Israeli soldiers have been killed over the same period.
Israel says its actions are necessary to defend the border and stop mass incursions into its territory.
It accuses Hamas, with whom it has fought three wars since 2008, of seeking to use the protests as cover to carry out violence.

Lawmakers are weighing the benefit of accessibility with the necessity of security in the aftermath of a shooting at a political meet-and-greet outside an Arizona supermarket.
Democratic Rep. Gabrielle Giffords remained in critical condition Sunday after being shot in the head at the event Saturday. The gunman killed six people, including a federal judge and a 9-year-old girl, and wounded 14 others, authorities said. The suspected shooter is in custody.
There was no security at the political gathering, Pima County Sheriff Clarence Dupnik said. At such events, "there's never security unless there's advance intelligence that there may be a problem of some kind," he said, noting that Giffords often attends as many as eight events in a single day.
"But it's not unusual for all public officials to get threats constantly, myself included. And that's the sad thing about what's going on in America. Pretty soon, we're not going to be able to find reasonable, decent people who are willing to subject themselves to serve in public office," Dupnik said.


Why are there so many more books by comedians about their lives as comedians than seemingly ever before?
Perhaps it's another sign of boom times.
The usual gimmicky joke books for bathroom reading, Dave Barry columns and newspaper comic-strip collections have had to make space over the past few years in the comedy section of your local bookstore, which has blossomed with an array of memoirs from comedians.
When Steve Martin's "Born Standing Up" came out in 2008, it was still a wild and crazy idea for a comedian to tell his or her story to starkly in book form. Other A-list comedians had books — George Carlin, Jerry Seinfeld, Bill Cosby and Paul Reiser, among those in the 1980s and 1990s — but they often served as a different avenue for selling the stage act. Jokes and sitcoms in book form.
Since then, the field has grown exponentially and more personally. Judd Apatow released a collection of in-depth interviews with comedians earlier this summer. Aziz Ansari and Lena Dunham cashed in lucrative deals for advice books. Mindy Kaling's second book comes out this month. Jim Gaffigan has hit the best-seller list twice already. Ditto, Artie Lange. Chelsea Handler, even more times. Billy Crystal, Amy Poehler, Tina Fey, Martin Short, Russell Brand, Sarah Silverman, Rachel Dratch, Marc Maron, Todd Glass, Tim Reid and Tom Dreesen, Paul Reiser, multiple books from Artie Lange, Rob Delaney, Carol Burnett, Carl Reiner, Tim Conway, Darrell Hammond, Tracy Morgan, Mike Birbiglia, Jen Kirkman, Fred Stoller, Jim Norton, Lisa Lampanelli, Roseanne Barr, Greg Fitzsimmons, Heather McDonald, Sarah Colonna, Moshe Kasher, Chris Gethard, Dave Hill, Patton Oswalt, Ophira Eisenberg, Selena Coppock, Miranda Sings, Felicia Day, Grace Helbig, Mamrie Hart, Chris Hardwick, Nick Offerman, Saget and more. Not to mention the books about comedy or biographies written by others about comedians, although I just did mention them.
What do you attribute to the rise in memoirs by comedians?
Comedic storyteller Kambri Crews wrote her own memoir "Burn Down The Ground" and a year ago, opened a venue in Astoria, Queens — Q.E.D. — that's a performance space, adult learning center and also bookstore (the Q.E.D. selection in late July is pictured above). Crews previously had opened a second performance space in the former Comix comedy club in Manhattan.
Technology and social media certainly have influenced and spurred on this current boom in stand-up comedy, both on stages and online via YouTube and podcasting. Saget told me that's part of what's fueling more memoirs from comedians, too.
Do you think it took podcasting to get the book publishing industry more interested in memoirs from comedians?
Writing the book changed your voice comedically opened it, too?
"I'm just exploring it, too, now. Because in stand-up, sometimes because of my audience, that's a different audience. I don't think they know what books are. But they get them on tape. They, they – not really. That audience is interesting because I'm talking more like this. I'm talking – not the rap guy that just (snaps fingers multiple times quickly)," Saget said.
Rapid-fire? "Which is all I ever did! Which is running. Being scared. That's how I used to do it. There's a lot less fear now, I think. The book relieved a lot of fear in general," he said.
Sara Benincasa's first book, "Agorafabulous!" came out in 2013 quite literally after releasing her fears through her own storytelling on stage. Benincasa since has written and published multiple Young Adult books, and has another nonfiction title, "Real Artists Have Day Jobs: (And Other Awesome Things They Don't Teach You in School)," due in April 2016. Benincasa told me, "In a comedy world dominated by new media trends, it's also exciting to see comedians get their voices out there through good old-fashioned books." Even despite the fact that the comedian is separated from the audience during the writing process.
As for why so many funny people are telling their stories now via books?
"Well, a memoir is a great way in to a comedian's story and can be leveraged on other platforms," Benincasa said earlier this summer. "For example, "Agorafabulous!" is in development as a TV pilot with Diablo Cody's and Ben Stiller's respective production companies, plus ABC Studios. You can take a comedian's memoir and really look at it as a potential screenplay, TV series, a Broadway show, anything. The possibilities are amazing. Maybe it becomes a graphic novel or a web series. It's a cool way to get all the jokes and anecdotes in one place and let them tell a story for you.
What are the best audiobooks to listen to comedians reading their own memoirs?

Right now, most of us are so busy trying to find the best deals on the things we need now – for Christmas gifts and parties – instead of thinking about what to buy come December 26 and beyond. However, there are many things that you should buy after the holidays in order to get the best deals and (gasp!) even prepare for Christmas 2017.
That's right, the yearly spending doesn't stop once you buy all your Christmas presents. After Christmas, there are many opportunities for you to keep on spending. That's because stores are looking to get rid of holiday leftovers. In addition, some stores may need to meet monthly and annual sales quotas, and as such, they still want your business – your money, specifically – after December 24.
Get your credit cards and gift cards ready. Here are some ways to shop 'til you drop – or until the year ends, anyway. Be sure to check out the deals on these items after Christmas.
There won't be a lot of people clamoring for a $5 roll of gift wrap after December 25. Gift wrap, ornaments, lights, inflatables, artificial trees, tinsel, bows, gift tags and other Christmas decorations take up too much room and therefore need to be liquidated.
Shop at your favorite drugstore, grocery store, and big box retailer on December 26 and pick up your decorations for next year. You'll save as much as 75% on essentials you'll need for 2017. Just stash them in your closet and you'll avoid paying full price on these items in November and December of next year. Keep in mind, though, that you typically won't see decorations for sale online, so you'll have to physically shop in a brick and mortar store for the best deals.
Want to get your hands on candy at a great price? Get your Reese's Peanut Butter Cup and Snickers fix after December 25. Holiday candy is no longer relevant by this time so you can expect huge markdowns. Personally, on December 26 in years past, I have been able to get bags of Snickers at my local Walmart for 25 cents each, so if you have the day off, stop in and see what types of deals you can find.
People love to give – and receive – gift sets during the holidays. Retailers often dedicate an entire aisle to these sets, which include beauty, bath, makeup and food items. If you want to save big on these, buy them right after Christmas.
The good thing about these gift sets is that they're not solely for use as Christmas presents – although you can certainly keep them until Christmas 2017. You can use them as gifts any time of year. They're great for Valentine's Day, Mother's Day, birthdays, anniversaries, graduations, hostess gifts – you name it. So if you find these in the clearance bin, stock up because there are many opportunities to use them.
Many retailers carry an influx of toys during the holidays, so once Christmas is over, retailers will often mark down remaining stock of less-popular toys. If you have children, grandchildren, nieces and nephews who would play with these toys, stock up and save them for birthdays, graduations and any other special events. Do note, however, that trendy toys change often, so these toys may no longer be popular by next Christmas – just an FYI.
Retailers will be having clothing deals after Christmas, so if you'd rather wear cool brand-name jeans instead of the sweatpants your mother gave you, this would be a good time to buy them. Winter clothing will finally see some markdowns since this category of clothing is typically at full price up until now.
You could see up to 50% off coats, sweaters, and accessories. Nike and Nordstrom typically offer up to 92% off select clothing. For the best deals at some stores, you might want to wait until January.
➜ Browse top daily deals and sales from your favorite retailers on DealsPlus homepage. This page is updated every hour by our team of deal hunters!
Many people choose to give gift cards to loved ones on their list. However, in many cases, the recipient has no use for the gift card. For example, an Android user won't be able to use an iTunes gift card. A person who typically shops at Target will likely never use a Walmart gift card. Instead of simply tossing the gift card or giving it away, the recipient may try to make a few bucks and sell the card on a site such as eBay.
Because so many people use this site to sell their gift cards, you're going to find low prices – 15% or more on most gift cards. So if you see someone selling a $25 gift card for $20, it's because that person just wants it out of his hands and wants to get something in return. Most gift cards have no expiration dates, so this is a great way to stock up on gift cards for the people on your Christmas list for next year. Just be sure to give them gift cards they'll actually use.
Electronics are often marked down after Christmas. However, the trick is to wait until January, when new products are typically released. At that point, the prices of older models will be significantly slashed. This is a good time to purchase a new TV or laptop. Check out Walmart, Amazon, Best Buy and Newegg for the best deals.
Nobody wants their Christmas presents a day late, so don't plan on taking advantage of these deals for this year. Instead, use this list to plan ahead for next year. You can use this as a gift guide or a general guide for shopping for things you need in your everyday life. Chances are, you'll need at least a few of these items throughout the year.

W Unframed Signed on recto in pencil on the bottom right, accompanied by a certificate of originality of the Horst Estate. _____________________________________ Horst P. Horst German-American, 1906–1999 (born Horst Paul Albert Bohrmann) was one of the towering figures of 20th-century fashion photography. Best known for his work with Vogue—who called him "photography's alchemist"—Horst rose to prominence in Paris in the interwar years, publishing his first work with the magazine in 1931. In the decades that followed, Horst's experimentations with radical composition, nudity, double exposures, and other avant-garde techniques would produce some of the most iconic fashion images ever, like Mainbocher Corset and Lisa with Harp (both 1939). As The New York Times once described, "Horst tamed the avant-garde to serve fashion." Though associated most closely with fashion photography, Horst captured portraits of many of the 20th century's brightest luminaries, dabbling with influences as far-ranging as Surrealism and Romanticism. "I like taking photographs because I like life," he once said. "And I love photographing people best of all because most of all I love humanity."

Where Art Meets Design
German artists
On the 14th of August 1906, in Weißenfels-an-der-Saale in Germany, a legend was born. Horst Paul Albert Bohrmann, known as Horst P. Horst, is considered a master in his field. He died on the 19th of November 1999 in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida.
After studying art at Kunstgewerbeschule (Hambourg), Horst moved to Paris in 1930 to train with Le Corbusier. Often spending time with bourgeois circles, he met George Hoyningen-Huene, the director of Vogue France studios. Encouraged by him, Horst threw himself into photography and published his first pictures with the French fashion magazine. In 1937 he left Paris for New York, where he met Coco Chanel. Over thirty years of collaboration and several dozen world-famous photographs ensued. During this period, he was admired and supported by important members of the fashion world such as Diana Vreeland. Following the closure of Vogue studios in 1951, he devoted himself to his own studio and produced numerous photos of interiors, landscapes, still lifes and nudes.
Nicknamed the photographer of elegance, Horst is best known for his photographs of glamorous and sophisticated women. He would prepare his shots meticulously, combining dramatic lighting, attention to detail and theatrical poses. His work is largely influenced by Greek sculpture, for which he had enormous admiration. "He photographed women as goddesses: inaccessible and calm Olympians". His photos are part of a Surrealist and Neoclassical trend.
Adopted by the fashion world, Horst began exhibiting his work in major art galleries from 1932 until the end of his career. His works have been assembled and published in numerous books: Horst, His Work, Horst: Photographer of Style, etc. In 1989 he received the CFDA (Council of Fashion Designers of America) Lifetime Achievement Award, and in 1996, the Master of Photography Award from the International Center of Photography (New York).
His works have been exhibited at the Fortuny Palace in Venice (1989), the Louvre in Paris (1991), the Museum Ludwig Cologne (1992), the National Portrait Gallery (2001) and at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London (2007).

Independent group to investigate gymnastics sex abuse case
Former Michigan State University and USA Gymnastics doctor Larry Nassar was sentenced to up to 175 years in prison for sex abuse © AFP/File / JEFF KOWALSKY
WASHINGTON, United States, Jan 29 – A US Olympic Committee selection panel has already started the search for an independent investigator into the USA Gymnastics sex abuse scandal, a member of the group said Monday.
The investigation will conduct a total review of USOC and USA Gymnastics' actions that contributed to former US team doctor Larry Nassar's decades of sexual abuse to girls and young women under the guise of medical treatments. The results will be made public.
"We are committed to ensuring a process that is independent, transparent, sensitive and accessible to those who wish to provide input to the independent investigator," said Susanne Lyons, an independent member of the USOC board of directors and chair of USA Gymnastics' Working Group.
The investigation comes after Nassar was sentenced to up to 175 years in prison for sex abuse. More than 150 victims of his molestation testified against him at a sentencing hearing that lasted more than a week.
Women have complained that those who might have stopped Nassar ignored warnings and failed to initiate safeguards, including USA Gymnastics and USOC personnel as well as those of Michigan State University, where Nassar also worked.
The college has already seen its president and athletic director step down in the wake of revelations about the sex abuse while the complete USA Gymnastics board of directors has agreed to resign as part of requirement by the USOC in order for the organization to remain a national sport governing body.
Lyons said the probe will "determine what complaints were made, when, to whom, and what was done in response."
"The investigation will be conducted by an experienced, independent third-party organization and will include a complete and unencumbered review of USA Gymnastics, the USOC, and all individuals associated with the organizations, including access to relevant data and documents."
The USOC subcommittee created to select the independent investigator that will look into USOC potential misdeeds as well includes a host of former business executives.
Lyons is a former Visa USA vice president and marketing chief and she will work alongside independent USOC board of directors member Robert Bach, a retired Microsoft executive, and board member Whitney Ping, an athlete representative who was a 2004 US table tennis Olympian and a Bain Capital investments vice president.
Lyons said the group has started to review qualifications and interview candidates as well as evaluate possible conflicts of interest to ensure independence by the investigator.
"The selection committee expects to complete its review and make a selection in the coming days and the investigation will launch immediately," Lyons said.


@Mach_Dent I'm only really interested in the forthcoming Swamp Thing series.
@denniskdraws I honestly wish I had done that. Never mind that Outsiders doesn't finish until this summer.
@Mach_Dent I'm just waiting for Doom Patrol to finish it's season and then I'll binge.
@tsunderica @LauraPostVoice I don't know what's real anymore.
The new you doesn't Mach with the old me.


Most of 2016, this blog was silent. For those who aren't aware of the reason why, I put my life on stop to care for my mother as she fought her final battle against terminal breast cancer. It was a savage privilege to be there for her final days. But in the same time, it was paralyzing as a creative. It was so dark, it would have absolutely contaminated any of the work I was involved in. So I froze every project.
I did not put fingers to keyboard in 2016 again according to my notes until mid-June, about two weeks after my mother's passing. I started again on what would be the final draft of what would be the final draft of Triangle: Wildcard, having rethought my approach to that novel, and moved on from there.
The thing it, as a writer, I've tried to always to put between 2,000 and 3,000 words into a document per day. They might be usable, they might not. But the idea is you build a habit. Three thousand words per day translated to roughly 100,000 in a year – another good sized novel.
Just under two million words? Admittedly, some are duplicates, even if I only created only a quarter of those – that's 500,000 words – in basically six months.
I actually had a productive year, creativity wise, despite the way it started. Who knew?
Thank you, that's very kind. It's been a very creative end to 2016, so I'm looking forward to that carrying over to the January. But every day is another step on the journey, and I always look forward to what each day unfolds.
Be well on yours. Namaste.

A Short History of ACE
The Action Committee for Eldorado (ACE) was organized and incorporated in 1992 as a result of then head ranger Bob Toll's request to create a process that would allow the climbing community to approve or disapprove the addition of new fixed protection in the Park.
In the late 1980s, the placement of bolts became a topic of controversy in the Boulder area. During that time, Boulder Mountain Parks and City and County Open Space prohibited the placement of new bolts. Eldorado also saw its share of controversy when certain climbers, acting without the support of the climbing community, added additional bolts to existing routes, replaced pitons with bolts, and moved existing bolts. These actions substantially changed certain climbs and enraged many local climbers. As a result of this well-meant, but misdirected effort, some of the new bolts were chopped. Bob Toll approached several active local climbers and informed them that the Park was willing to work with the climbing community on these issues. The Park's position was that Eldorado belonged to all climbers and that individuals could no longer be permitted to take unilateral actions that affected all climbers without community input.
To comply with the Park's request, ACE was organized. ACE designed the fixed hardware review process, which provides the climbing community with the opportunity to approve or disapprove of proposals to establish new routes requiring fixed gear and to change existing climbing routes. ACE's role is to advise the Park as to the opinion of the local climbing community; the final decision on whether to approve the proposal rests with the Park. To obtain maximum feedback and support from the climbing community, the ACE Board of Directors is comprised of representatives from the Access Fund, the American Alpine Club, the American Mountain Guides Association, and the Colorado Mountain Club, as well as unaffiliated members drawn from the climbing community.
Action Committee for Eldorado Mission Statement
ACE is a non-profit organization dedicated to representing climbers' interests in Eldorado Canyon State Park and preserving the opportunity to climb and the diversity of the climbing experience in Eldorado. ACE supports conserving the natural resources and promoting responsible recreational use and land management in ECSP. Donations are tax deductible.

We have such a love/kind-of-hate relationship.
Nowadays, I am also loving that it's time to start some of my planting in the garden!
However, there is the major pain that spring brings me every year without fail—allergies.
For those of you that do not live in Ohio valley, let me tell you, it can be hell on the sinuses! Now couple that with poor air quality and you have yourself a perfect storm of sneezy, itchy-eye, runny-nose misery.
The good often outweighs the bad, but man, it would be so nice not to have to deal with it all for months at a time.
With that said, the harvest of spring here in Kentucky isn't a long list, but asparagus is on it!
I really like asparagus and do not find that I use it in my cooking very often. This challenge was the perfect way for me to get the wheels turning on how I can change that!
Now, I happened to be out doing a little Easter shopping the other day and came across a great deal on a bottle of truffle-infused oil!
Oh man, truffle is so my jam! I could probably eat something I hate as long as it's covered in truffle oil.
With that in mind, I started thinking about how the most simple things in cooking often turn out to be the best!
And so I decided on roasted asparagus and tomatoes drizzled in truffle oil.
This may not be the most shocking dish, but it's simply delicious.
The remix part of this is that truffle oil wasn't available for vintage recipes. At least, not to most home cooks, anyway.
This is a new twist on an oldie-but-goodie!
Serve it at a dinner party and people will think it's super fancy. I believe it's also just a nice change of pace, which is what I was going for anyway.
Preheat the oven and a baking sheet to 400°F.
Cut the woody ends of the asparagus off and halve or quarter the tomatoes, depending on the size you're using (I used larger cocktail tomatoes, so I quartered them).
Remove the pan from oven and add 2 teaspoons of the grapeseed oil. Using tongs, toss the asparagus in the oil to coat, and then sprinkle with salt and pepper. Return the pan to the oven and roast the asparagus for 10 minutes.
While the asparagus is roasting, gently toss the cut tomatoes in the remaining oil, then sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Add the tomatoes to the baking sheet with the asparagus and continue cooking—another 5 to 7 minutes.
Allow the vegetables to cool slightly—about 5 minutes—before drizzling with truffle oil. Serve with a lemon wedge for added flavor and brightness.
