Jordan started his writing career at the age of 32 when he submitted his first unsolicited script to the BBC.
He became a scriptwriter for BBC 1's EastEnders, writing almost two hundred episodes. He became lead writer and series consultant in the series heyday when it constantly hit audiences in excess of 20 million.
During his time at EastEnders, Jordan was not only responsible for some of the most successful storylines in the shows history, he also created many of its most iconic and well loved characters including the Slater family and Alfie Moon.
His contribution to ongoing drama resulted in being presented with the Special Achievement award at 2007's British Soap Awards.
As his career progressed, Jordan went on to write on such iconic shows as Minder, Boon and Eldorado and later gained additional writing credits on Thieftakers, The Vanishing Man starring Neil Morrissey and Can't Buy Me Love starring Martin Kemp and Michelle Collins.
Jordan created his first prime time series in 1998 for BBC One, the critically acclaimed City Central; a precinct cop show set in the gritty streets of Manchester starring Paul Nicholls, Lorraine Ashbourne and Ashley Jensen.
Jordan has since become synonymous with successful prime time drama having created some of the best loved series in recent years. The creation of the hit drama Hustle starring Robert Vaughn, Adrian Lester and Marc Warren saw the start of a long running and successful relationship with Kudos. A glossy, entertaining drama following the fortunes of a group of expert con artists let loose on the streets of London, Hustle has become a huge global hit and gained nominations for two primetime Emmys to add to the nominations for a BAFTA and two RTS awards in the UK.
Jordan co-created the multiple award winning Life on Mars, starring John Simm and Philip Glenister. A huge hit with both critics and audiences alike, Life on Mars saw a modern day cop thrust back to 1973 after a car crash and tackling the totally un-PC world of seventies' policing.
He set up Red Planet Pictures in 2005 as a uniquely writer led, creatively inspiring, drama house. It was conceived to make popular intelligent drama – the type of shows that cemented Tony's reputation as series creator and show runner.
The company initially launched with regional offices in Bedfordshire and Wales (now also London), and won his first commission for the company with Holby Blue – a drama following the lives and loves of the officers based at Holby South Police Station and sister show to BBC One's hugely popular long running series Casualty and Holby City. Holby Blue was recommissioned for a second and final series with an extended run of 12 episodes.
Jordan went on to create ambitious linked dramas Echo Beach and Moving Wallpaper for ITV1 which transmitted in January 2008. Moving Wallpaper was a 12-episode comedy drama which starred Ben Miller and Hugo Speer, going behind the scenes of soap opera, Echo Beach.
Echo Beach starred Jason Donovan and Martine McCutcheon and followed the finished soap opera that viewers saw being made during its sister series.
Moving Wallpaper was recommissioned for a second series but was this time based around the production of a "zombie show" called Renaissance. Renaissance was released online on ITV.com and starred Kelly Brook.
The Red Planet Prize was launched in 2007 in order to nurture aspiring writers and find a new writing talent to join Red Planet Pictures' already impressive stable -something that Jordan himself is very passionate about.
Red Planet's first series for BBC One Wales, Crash, created by Tony, hit the screens in September 2009 for an initial run of 6 episodes, with a further 6 episodes broadcast in early 2010. The series followed a group of four young doctors starting their careers at Cardiff City Hospital and facing the steepest learning curve of their lives. Written by a team of new television writers, led by Jordan, the series was also broadcast on the BBC High Definition Channel.
Jordan also spearheaded the company's move into factual and comedy programming. Red Planet Pictures and Shine Television joined forces to make History Cold Case for BBC 2, billed as "Time Team for dead bodies".
Each hour-long episode of History Cold Case focussed on an exhumed corpse from a different era of British history and show what they would have looked like and the sort of life they led. It launched as a 4 x 60-minute series in May 2010 and returned for a second series. Red Planet currently have several other exciting factual and entertainment shows in development.
Tony's retelling of The Nativity unfolded over four consecutive nights on BBC One during Christmas 2010. It told the tale through the lives of the people who were caught up with such miraculous events. The Nativity received critical acclaim, and secured an impressive 5.8 million viewers. This success has led to the BBC commissioning Tony to bring Noah to life in 2014.
Death In Paradise, created by Robert Thorogood (discovered through the Red Planet Prize), launched on BBC 1 in 2012. A Caribbean-set murder mysteries, initially starring Ben Miller and broadcast on the BBC and FTV, this has proved a huge success, selling to over 140 territories and becoming the highest rated midweek drama for many years. It's currently shooting its third series, which Tony executive produces.
Tony continued to innovate by creating, with a team of writers, the eagerly awaited By Any Means – a unique crime show, which will hit BBC 1 this Autumn.
As well as running his now busy and expanding production company, Tony still finds time to write two huge upcoming projects: the BBC's flagship First World War centenary drama, and Dickensian – a unique take on the world and characters of Charles Dickens. They will hit our screens in 2014 and 2015.
Alongside these, he has a raft of other projects in development.
To get so many high powered and practical people to the festival is a terrific achievement. I've benefited and it's more than worth the cost.

A few clouds. Low near 35F. Winds light and variable.
I've always believed that jet lag was for amateurs. When one grows up sleeping behind the seat or on the floor of the tractor their mom is driving, or behind your dad on a forklift, one can sleep anywhere — including tiny, sardine-sized airline seats. Which means, when you step off that plane looking worse than your passport photo, all you need is a quick shower and you are ready to adventure or work. That belief has been upheld until this last trip to the Orient — a trip on which my 3-year-old's bladder just couldn't keep up with the airline apple juice and ginger ale.
I closed my eyes. At least he wasn't asking me.
I hummed the tune to "The Wheels in the Bus," as I unbuckled my son and watched as he held his daddy's hand down the long aisle back to the cramped little airplane bathroom.
This became a nightly routine for nearly a week. Regardless of how early we woke him up or how hard we tried to keep him from napping, he would fall asleep around 7 or 8 — and be wide awake by 10 p.m. My husband and I had never felt so jet-lagged in our lives. Up for a glass of water, I glared at the clock on the oven. We have got to stop meeting this way 4 a.m., I glared at blurry blue numbers. We're supposed to be pillow friends, not kitchen mates!
One evening after I had sung every one of my son's favorite songs at least half a dozen times, I told him it was Daddy's turn to tell him a story. My eyes burned, and my legs throbbed. I wanted sleep. I needed sleep. My toddler leaped over the top of me, and I felt him jump on my husband's snoring body.
My husband groaned, and had I cared to open my eyes, I am sure he was sending me a dirty look — or at least a dirty vibe, his eyes may have been too tired to open enough to send a look.
"It was a dark and stormy night..." his story started. Soon my sleep was again interrupted by a squirming kid thrashing around under the covers.
Scary bear stories. My husband was telling our son, who was having trouble going to sleep, scary bear stories. Now he was wide awake — and scared!
"No more stories, just songs," he pleaded.
... and CHOMPED (he suddenly lunged at the covers hiding our son) that monkey right out of the tree.
He sang the song over and over, counting down with each "chomped" monkey. Soon our son was squealing and hiding — scared and hyper — and not a chance in this world that he was going to sleep the rest of the night.
I felt kind of like that hungry, cranky, crocodile — ready to chomp something — and I decided that my earlier belief needed to be modified: Jet lag is for amateurs — and parents of toddlers!

Newfoundland's Grand Banks Message Board • View topic - Kearney/Coady/Cody Connections...anyone??
My 3x great grand father, Capt. James John Kearney (1826?-1869 Lost at sea) was born in Ireland (Waterford, I believe) around 1826. He settled in NF at an unknown date. Don't know if he came over with any family members. I have found a church record and newspaper record of his marriage to Mary A. Coady/Cody (1828-1906 - dau of Capt William Coady - b in NF d in Boston) on Feb 4, 1851 in St. Johns. They had eight children born in NF. Willliam 1855, Elizabeth Ann 1857, Catherine Mary 1858, John Peter (2x ggrandf), James John 1861, Michael Thomas 1864, Mary Joseph 1865, Margaret Ann 1868. A few years after James was lost at sea, Mary and most if not all of her children came to the Boston area.
Any insight on the Kearney's and Coady's in NF is greatly appreciated!
Post subject: Re: Kearney/Coady/Cody Connections...anyone??
Really interesting. I have a Captain John Kearney estimate 1815-1852. in my family history. He built ships with his brother Michael Kearney. They came from Ferryland. My relative went to Cape Breton in his ship the Michael Anthony Fleming, in December 1852 for a shipment of coal. I understand the ship never returned. His wife (I learned recently) was Mary Margaret? Field. She died soon after he did about 1856. They had married at the Basilica in 1842. They left two children Mary Kearney m William Jardine and John Kearney m Mary Callahan. These Kearneys were living in Ferryland in 1800 when a census was taken-and I think at least one generation before that. Michael Kearney and another brother Richard relocated to St. John's, Will see if I have any mention of your Kearney family in my records.

Home News David Page's "Food Americana:" The Remarkable People and Incredible Stories behind America's Favorite Dishes — Review by Editor Ann Beman
David Page's "Food Americana:" The Remarkable People and Incredible Stories behind America's Favorite Dishes — Review by Editor Ann Beman
David Page (author of Food Americana) flexes his journalism chops to capture food and local vernacular from different cultures.
A man who claims to be someone "who lives to eat," David Page guides readers on a tour of America's favorite restaurant dishes. In this mix of food history and pop culture, Page serves up a broad-stroke survey of the United States' national cuisine. His chapters focus on pizza, Mexican food, BBQ, fried chicken, sushi, bagels, hot wings, burgers, Chinese food, seafood (lobster rolls, oysters, caviar), and ice cream, with each chapter looking at the food's popularity, its history, and its impact on American pop culture and current dining habits. Each wraps up with a recipe from one of the restaurants or chefs interviewed in that chapter.
A reflection of the nation's character, most of the highlighted foods immigrated to the U.S. from other countries. Page, a former network news producer and the creator of TV's "Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives," flexes his journalism chops to capture local vernacular as well as the flavors, scents, and imagery of the foods' cultures as they have evolved. Readers who enjoy microhistories will savor the tidbits of interesting facts and trivia peppered throughout the book. Some of my favorite takeaways:
You can get legitimate sushi from a gas station convenience store in Oklahoma City.
Ben Cohen of Ben & Jerry's has no sense of smell.
Japanese people originated sushi bars because the military government in the 1930s banned street vendors.
After reading Food Americana, it's hard not to wonder which foods and esoterica remained on the cutting room floor. Steak houses, pie shops, and donut stands come to mind. But one book can only scratch the surface. As David Page says in the interview, he's working on a sequel that will include foods of interest that he didn't deem sufficiently national to be part of widespread cuisine. Until then, Food Americana is a fun dish of food microhistories, restaurant recommendations, and interviews with people (both chefs and customers) shaping American cuisine.
Food Americana
The Remarkable People and Incredible Stories behind America's Favorite Dishes
Food Americana is a riveting ride into every aspect of what we eat and why. From a lobster boat off the coast of Maine to the Memphis in May barbecue competition. From the century-old Russ & Daughters lox and bagels shop in lower Manhattan to the Buffalo Chicken Wing Festival. From a thousand-dollar Chinese meal in San Francisco to birria tacos from a food truck in South Philly. Readers will learn the inside story of how Americans came to form national cuisines from a world of diverse flavors. This insightful book is, overall, engaging and oftentimes extremely humorous.

Виконт Жиль де Робье́н (, род. 10 апреля 1941 года) — французский политик. Был министром образования Франции в правительстве Доминика де Вильпена (с мая 2005 года по май 2007 года), министром инфраструктуры, транспорта, жилья, туризма и морских дел в правительства Жан-Пьера Раффарена (2002—2005), автор «закона Робьена», направленного на снижение безработицы в стране (1996), бывший мэр Амьена.

Биография
Родился 10 апреля 1941 года в департаменте Сомма на севере Франции (Пикардия). В 1965 году закончил коллеж в Версале и поступил на службу страховым агентом в Амьене — административном центре департамента. В 1986 году был избран депутатом Национального собрания Франции (нижняя палата парламента). Тогда же вошёл в Комиссию по финансам и Следственную комиссию по причинам, последствиям и предупреждению наводнений.

В 1989 году де Робьен стал мэром Амьена. В 1990 году вошёл в состав исполнительного комитета и руководящего совета Республиканской партии Франции. В 1991 году был включён в состав политбюро центристской партии «Союз за французскую демократию» (UDF). С 1995 по 1997 год возглавлял депутатскую группу этой партии в Национальном собрании. 29 ноября 1998 года снова был включён в состав политбюро и избран на пост вице-президента партии «Союз за французскую демократию».

11 июня 1996 года правительство Франции приняло «закон Робьена», направленный на снижение безработицы. Этот документ предусматривал существенные налоговые льготы для предприятий, которые согласятся сократить продолжительность рабочего дня и за счёт этого принять на работу новых служащих (или избежать сокращения штата).

В мае 2002 года де Робьен был назначен министром инфраструктуры, транспорта, жилья, туризма и морских дел в правительстве Жан-Пьера Раффарена. 3 июня 2005 года занявший пост премьер-министра страны Доминик де Вильпен сделал его министром образования Франции.

В марте 2006 года во время студенческих манифестаций, которые проходили под лозунгами отмены дискриминационного законопроекта о первом трудовом контракте для молодёжи, Жиль де Робьен выступил с резкой критикой митингующих. Он назвал их «скандалистами», представляющими «ничтожное меньшинство» студентов, которые решили вступить на «путь насилия». 11 марта 2006 года полицейский спецназ взял штурмом захваченное манифестантами здание Сорбонны, в результате чего пострадали 13 человек. Робьен одобрил силовую акцию против студентов, отметив, что, «когда происходят подобные одиозные действия, вмешательство является вполне нормальным». Он также заявил, что студенты «нанесли ущерб национальному достоянию, которое накапливалось на протяжении столетий». Тем не менее 23 марта 2006 года после консультаций с де Робьеном правительство де Вильпена впервые попыталось вступить в переговоры с профсоюзными и студенческими организациями. Существенных договоренностей в ходе этой встречи достигнуто не было.

В мае 2007 года, после того как новым президентом Франции был избран Николя Саркози, правительство де Вильпена ушло в отставку. В новое правительство, которое возглавил Франсуа Фийон, де Робьен не вошёл.

Leave a Comment / Music / By Lauren Tuck / Music, Kyle Cashen
Kyle Cashen spends most of his time making noises in his basement.
"I play a bunch of different instruments … if there is something around, I'll make noise with it.
"Music is noise, some of it is pretty, some of it is not," says Cashen. "You can make music with pots and pans as easily as with a guitar, it just sounds different."
Cashen grew up in Antigonish but has lived in and out of the territory for a large part of his life.
Having played in a variety of groups including local punk group, Friend Called Five, his diverse musical background gives him lots of styles to draw on.
"I can scream, play bass and play in four or five different time signatures and then play my acoustic guitar in ¾ time and sing softly into a microphone," smiles Cashen.
For now, he has put other endeavours aside to focus on his vision and They Built Houses Here under the name, Crash the Car.
They Built Houses Here was inspired by a story he and a friend co-wrote. Cashen has teamed up with engineer, producer and multi-instrumentalist, Jordy Walker to work on his release.
Playing an electric guitar with a bow to create a different sound (sounds similar to a cello) to vocal looping, Cashen is clearly bringing some different techniques to the ears of all those who hear him.
Miming the action of turning knobs, he describes how he makes his noises: "You can use one item to get a lot of noise, but sounds aren't always precise, they don't always become a song," he says.
Live performances are clearly very different than Cashen jamming in his basement. They are more structured, which is limiting.
Cashen has played numerous gigs here in the territory including this and last year's Frostbite Music Festival. Prying deeper, he lets it be known he's also opened for the likes of Kinnie Star and played with Chad Van Gaalen, one of his musical heroes.
But accomplishing such a goal early means there's even more to achieve. "There are all kinds of other musical heroes, venues and people I would like to play to," he says.
As of now, Cashen and Walker are busy in the studio. Bassist Micah Smith has already contributed and Cashen has already recorded nearly 15 songs.
Crash the Car's debut disc is set for release by the end of the summer. Cashen will, however, be making a number of musical appearances including playing at the final Brave New Works performance show May 17 at the Yukon Arts Centre.
And, he will be playing at the North By Northeast Music Festival in Toronto June 12 to 15.

Party In The Park – Saturday 1st July 2017
CHANGE OF HEADLINE ACT
PARTY IN THE PARK AT FLAMINGO LAND ON 1ST JULY
Flamingo Land has just announced that 'Union J' will now be headlining their Party in the Park concert this Saturday evening, 1st July. This has replaced the original act Matt Terry who can no longer appear.
Flamingo Land have invited X Factor's Union J back, following the success of their performance at one of their 2015 concerts. They have been performing this year as a 3 piece consisting of members Josh Cuthbert, JJ Hamblett, and Jaymi Hensley.
Union J will be joined by Stooshe, a British chart topping, Platinum selling UK girl group consisting of Alex, Karis and Courtney. They have had 4 top 20 hits, been nominated for a BRIT Award, have closed the MOBO's and toured with Nick Minaj and J-Lo.
These headliners will be supported by Bailey McConnell, from Britain's Got Talent fame, who returns to Flamingo Land after a success performance with them at a Party in the Park concert last year.
"This will be our second Party in the Park this Season. The first concert was a great success and we look forward to creating a sensational atmosphere again as these two popular acts take to the stage this Saturday" said Sarah Mills Director of Marketing Flamingo Land Resort.
"Party in the Park is a great way to spend a summer's evening and guests can buy a theme park ticket for the day which then gives them free access to the concert. Alternatively they can arrive at 5pm for an hour in the theme park and zoo followed by the concert for just £10 each." said Sarah. "There is a wide variety of food and drink outlets around Riverside One so that guests can make it a social occasion."
The concert starts at 6pm with a children's Farewell Show followed by the Spice Pirates acrobatic troupe and a host of supporting acts before the 2 headline acts take to the stage. The event concludes at approximately 10pm. Tickets are on sale on the Flamingo Land website.

Im expecting a popup after the data was submitted or not submitted. it do works in console.log but not in React Component.

const [serverState , setServerState] = useState({submitting: false, status: null})
const handleServerResponse = (ok, msg, form) => {
setServerState({ submitting: false, status: { ok, msg } })

if(ok){
 //console.log() works!!!!!
 //React Component not working!!!!
  return
}

//Same HERE!!
return

}

A: How do you find out that the React code is not working? It is not visible from the code you share. I only see the Modal import, but not its usage. Try logging inside the React component to see if it is rendered and if it is, then try increasing the z-index of the modal, so you can see it.
Ok, with your Modal added to the code I see two errors here, first you don't even return the Modal from this function and second, if you return it, you don't expect it anywhere in your code. Try to render the Modal conditionally in your section instead, like this:
    return(

             {showModal && (
               <Modal />
             )}
            <form
              onSubmit={handleSubmit(onSubmit)}
              className='mt-5 gap-4 text-black flex flex-col'
             >
               ...
           </form>

    )

Then add showModal variable into state like this:
const [showModal, setShowModal] = useState(false);

And finally change the handleServerResponce function like this:
if(ok){
      console.log('msg')//THIS WORKS!!
     setShowModal(true);
)

You will have to add close modal logic into your Modal after that.
And here is how the whole component will look like when you add also logic for passing the message to the modal:
import axios from'axios'
import {React, useState} from 'react'
import { useForm} from 'react-hook-form'
import Modal from '../../Modal'

export default function ContactForm(){
  const [serverState , setServerState] = useState({submitting: false, status: null})
  const [showModal, setShowModal] = useState(false);

  const handleServerResponse = (ok, msg, formData) => {

    setServerState({ submitting: false, status: { ok, msg } })

    if(ok){
      console.log('msg')//THIS WORKS!!
      setShowModal(true);
)
      return
    }
    return
  }

  const { register, handleSubmit, watch, formState: { errors } } = useForm()
  const onSubmit = (data,e) =>{
    const formData = new FormData()

    for(var field in data){
      formData.append(field, data[field])
    }

    setServerState({submitting:true})

    axios({
      method:'post',
      url:'https://getform.io/f/79e16760-4dbb-4e67-b212-c98e3f1b8eda',
      data: formData

    })

    .then((r) => {
      e.target.reset();
      handleServerResponse(true, "Form Submitted", r);
    })
    .catch((r) => {
      handleServerResponse(false, r.response.data.error, e);
    })

  }

  return(

         {showModal && (
           <Modal message={serverState.status ? serverState.status.msg : ""} />
         )}
        <form
          onSubmit={handleSubmit(onSubmit)}
          className='mt-5 gap-4 text-black flex flex-col'
          >

            <input className='pl-2 rounded-sm focus:outline-none' type='text' placeholder='Enter yourName' {...register("fullname")}/>
            <input className='pl-2 rounded-sm focus:outline-none' type='email' placeholder='Enter your Email' {...register("email")}/>

New York state Attorney General Eric Schneiderman was in Newburgh Friday to announce the launch of a pilot program to transform vacant homes into affordable housing. The funding for the program comes from the bank settlements. The program provides subsidies to land banks.
State Attorney General Schneiderman stood in front of a boarded-up house on Lander Street to announce the new "Neighbors for Neighborhoods" pilot program.
Schneiderman says the program is designed to address two problems — the ongoing shortage of affordable rental homes and epidemic of abandoned and dilapidated properties that invite crime and drag down property values.
Funding for the program will come from the Attorney General's 2014 and 2015 settlements with Citigroup and Bank of America over the banks' conduct leading up to the 2008 housing crash. The new program will provide land banks across the state with $4 million in subsidies. Madeline Fletcher, executive director of Newburgh Community Land Bank, has high hopes for the program.
Her land bank, as with all land banks, has to apply and be selected. Judi Kende is vice president and New York Market Leader for nonprofit Enterprise Community Partners, which will administer the program.
Newburgh Mayor Judy Kennedy likes the idea.
Congressman Sean Patrick Maloney, whose district office is a few blocks from the Lander Street address, see the pilot program as a necessary revitalization tool for the city.
In November, New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman announced that his office would investigate ExxonMobil—the world's biggest oil and gas company—for misleading the public about global warming. Under New York law, the Attorney General has the power to investigate whether companies issue misleading statements that could amount to financial fraud.
New York's Attorney General has announced the findings of an investigation into consumer abuses in the live entertainment ticket industry.


"We failed to seal the deal"
"We started with a very attacking line-up to try and put pressure on our opponent from the off. In the first half, we did that sucessfully for large parts. However, we failed to put the game to bed. We're disappointed.
In the Bundesliga, it's not good enough to play well for 45 minutes! That was clear as day this evening. Now it's important to make the right steps going forward to learn for future games. This isn't the only reason we lost today. We also lacked the coolness in front of goal to see the game off."
"We should have had the game wrapped up by half-time! We had plenty of chances. We could have been 4-0 up at the break. However, we were too wasteful.
In football, you get punished when you don't take your chances and that's what happened today. It's a tough pill to swallow this one."
"We were very good in the first half and played at a good tempo. We created numerous chances but only converted one. We missed the chance to secure the win before half-time.
It's the means in which we missed the chances in the first half that hurts. In the second half, we lost our fluidity. We couldn't turn the game back around."
"We let our performance levels slip in the second half. We started losing duels. At the moment, we have a tough schedule but we have to knuckle down and get through it. I don't think our loss today is down to fatigue.
If you want to win, you have to take your chances in front of goal. If you don't, you get punished. That's what happened today."

Und bist du auch noch dabei, dann bin super drauf.
Don't all the clouds look funny?

Lubim
Lu'bim (Heb. Lubimz', לוּבַים, from the Arab., signifying inhabitants of a thirsty land, Na 3:9; "Lubims," 2Ch 12:3; 2Ch 16:8; also Lubbin', לֻבַּים Libyans," Da 11:43; Sept. everywhere Λίβυες), the Libyans, always joined with the Egyptians and Ethiopians; being "mentioned as contributing, together with Cushites and Sukkiim, to Shishak's army (2Ch 12:3); and apparently as forming with Cushites the bulk of Zerah's army (2Ch 16:8); spoken of by Nahum (Na 3:9) with Put or Phut, as helping No-Amon (Thebes), of which Cush and Egypt were the strength; and by Daniel (Da 11:43) as paying court with the Cushites to a conqueror of Egypt or the Egyptians. These particulars indicate an African nation under tribute to Egypt, if not under Egyptian rule, contributing, in the 10th century B.C., valuable aid in mercenaries or auxiliaries to the Egyptian armies, and down to Nahum's time, and a period prophesied of by Daniel, probably the reign of Antiochus Epiphanes, SEE ANTIOCHUS IV, assisting, either politically or commercially, to sustain the Egyptian power, or, in the last case, dependent on it. These indications do not fix the geographical position of the Lubim, but they favor the supposition that their territory was near Egypt, either to the west or south. For more precise information we look to the Egyptian monuments, upon which we find representations of a people called REBU or LEBU (R and L having no distinction in hieroglyphics), who cannot be doubted to correspond to the Lubim. These Rebu were a warlike people, with whom Menptah (the son and successor of Rameses II) and Rameses III, who both ruled in the 13th century B.C., waged successful wars. The latter king routed them with much slaughter. The sculptures of the great temple he raised at Thebes, now called that of Medinet Abui, give us representations of the Rebu, showing that they were fair, and of what is called a Shemitic type, like the Berbers and Kabyles. They are distinguished as northern, that is, as parallel to, or north of, Lower Egypt. Of their being African there can be no reasonable doubt, and we may assign them to the coast of the Mediterranean, commencing not far to the westward of Egypt. We do not find them to have been mercenaries of Egypt from the monuments, but we know that the kindred Mashashasha-u were so employed by the Bubastite family, to which Shishak and probably Zerah also belonged; and it is not unlikely that the latter are intended by the Lubim, used in a more generic sense than Rebu, in the Biblical mention of the armies of these kings (Brugsch, Geogr. Isschr. 2:79 sq.). We have already shown that the Lubim are probably the Mizraite LEHABIM: if so, their so-called Shemitic physical characteristics, as represented on the Egyptian monuments, afford evidence of great importance for the inquirer into primeval history. The mention in Manetho's Dynasties that, under Necherophes, or Necherochis, the first Memphite king, and head of the third dynasty (B.C. cir. 2600), the Libyans revolted from the Egyptians, but returned to their allegiance through fear, on a wonderful increase of the moon, may refer to the Lubim, but may as probably relate to some other African people, perhaps the Naphtuhim, or Phut (Put). The historical indications of the Egyptian monuments thus lead us to place the seat of the Lubim, or primitive Libyans, on the African coast to the westward of Egypt, perhaps extending far beyond Cyrenaica. From the earliest ages of which we have any record, a stream of colonization has flowed from the East along the coast of Africa, north of the Great Desert, as far as the Pillars of Hercules. The oldest of these colonists of this region were doubtless the Lubim and kindred tribes, particularly the Mashawasha-u and Tahen-nu of the Egyptian monuments, all of whom appear to have ultimately taken their common name of Libyans from the Lubim. They seem to have been first reduced by the Egyptians about B.C. 1250, and to have afterwards been driven inland by the Phoenician and Greek colonists. Now, they still remain on the northern confines of the Great Desert, and even within it, and in the mountains, while their later Shemitic rivals pasture their flocks in the rich plains. Many as are the Arab tribes of Africa, one great tribe, that of the Beni 'Ali, extends from Egypt to Morocco, illustrating the probable extent of the territory of the Lubim and their cognates. It is possible that in Eze 30:5, Lub, לוּב, should be read for Chub, כּוּב; but there is no other instance of the use of this form: as, however, לוּד and לוּדַים are used for one people, apparently the Mizraite Ludim, most probably kindred to the Lubim, this objection is not conclusive. SEE CHUB; SEE LUDIM. In Jer 46:9, the A.V. renders Phut 'the Libyans;' and in Eze 38:5, Libya.'" SEE LIBYA.

Q: What is the use of n option in cut command? I'm learning about the cut command. In the man page of cut, they show the -n option like:
-n     (ignored)

But I didn't understand the usage of the n option or when we would use it. Can anyone explain with an example?

A: Your man cut describes -n option as "ignored", simply because it is not implemented, in the cut implementation from coreutils.
However, the -n option is implemented on some others cut implementations, at least in the *BSD \ POSIX.2 implementation(s).
Thus cut from coreutils implements a stub option to it, for portability sake, for not breaking compatibility with scripts. However, as it is not implemented, it won't have any effect using it.
From man cut in FreeBSD 12.0:

-n         Do not split multi-byte characters.  Characters will only be output if at least one byte is selected, and, after a prefix of zero
         or more unselected bytes, the rest of the bytes that form the
         character are selected.

From the POSIX standard cut page, link pointed out by @Kusalananda:

-n Do not split characters. When specified with the -b option, each element in list of the form low- high ( -separated
  numbers) shall be modified as follows:
If the byte selected by low is not the first byte of a character, low shall be decremented to select the first byte of the
  character originally selected by low. If the byte selected by high is
  not the last byte of a character, high shall be decremented to select
  the last byte of the character prior to the character originally
  selected by high, or zero if there is no prior character. If the
  resulting range element has high equal to zero or low greater than
  high, the list element shall be dropped from list for that input line
  without causing an error.
Each element in list of the form low- shall be treated as above with high set to the number of bytes in the current line, not
  including the terminating . Each element in list of the form
  - high shall be treated as above with low set to 1. Each element in list of the form num (a single number) shall be treated as above with
  low set to num and high set to num.

Way to go Team Digerati!!
For the past two weeks, my online group has reached out, and prayed for, twitter followers and facebook friends during our regular meeting time…inspired by our leader, Tony Steward, and this missional challenge from LifeChurch's ChurchOnline. We individually posted on both forums that we would pray for anyone who gave us a prayer request over the next 30 minutes. We responded to all requests by praying right then online. We typically found that twitter followers responded to our tweets with their prayer request in a Direct Message. On facebook, we found we had more success initiating individual chats with online friends and offering prayer. From time to time we came back to our TokBox room (where our group meets) to share how things were going. We pretty much typed our fingers off lifting folks in prayer, and went closer to an hour than our intended 1/2 hour because it was so inspiring!
As much as I enjoyed, and was inspired by, this mission, it caused me to think about my circle of influence on these two sites. Please don't get me wrong, I love praying for those who are in ministry and those who are following Christ. But wouldn't it be powerful if I was offering prayer to an unbeliever? Or to someone wondering how people live out their love for Christ? Most people, unbelievers included, are open to being prayed for.
Church leaders, as we look to using Social Media as a means of communicating, connecting, and reaching out, lets remember to embrace (follow/friend) those who may not hold our same beliefs. Search out and accept people from all walks and beliefs. In fact, maybe it's time to reconsider your circle of influence both on and offline.
LifeChurch.tv is always looking for new ways to minister online, and opens the door to us to become involved. On February 14th, LifeChurch.tv launched two weeks of Revolutionary Love!

DJ Chuang is a Director at Leadership Network, launching digital initiatives, and connecting multi-site churches, and Asian American churches.
Tony Steward is the Online Community Pastor at LifeChurch.tv using Social Media to connect with the internet campus community.
Cynthia Ware has served in pastoral ministry for 20 years. Her blog, The Digital Sanctuary, encourages Christian leaders to embrace and employ new media technologies to serve the Kingdom of God.
Hope to see you on March 31st!
My online group leader, Tony Steward, posted this powerful video on his blog last night. A wonderful example of how God is using him to minister to people online. I wanted to share it with you in the hope that we can begin to promote the viability of using technology and online community as an avenue to love on people and share the Good News that has impacted our own lives. Thanks, Tony, for your leadership in online ministry!
For those that are about Jesus, and following him, this is just an encouragement for you to move in love everywhere you can. See video here.
It's not news if you know me that I'm a fan of Twitter. In fact, I'd say Twitter was the smartest thing I did in 2008! So, when Twitter friend Anthony Coppedge gave me the chance to review his e-Book, "The Reason Your Church Must Twitter", I grabbed it!
Let me say it here, this book is brilliant! With vision like his, Coppedge is a huge asset to churches who will listen.
Twitter has advanced ministry connections for me on a personal level, but Coppedge goes further and proposes using Twitter as the next mass communication tool for your congregation. Twitter can be set up to your cell phone. Messages go right from your fingertips to their cell phone. Imagine every group in your church receiving the messages intended for them in an instant. No waiting until they open an email, "if" they open it.
But Twitter can be used as more than just a 'megaphone', Coppedge contends that Twitter can also be leveraged as a conversation where the congregation is privy to the nuances of the pastor's day to day experiences. "This "humanizing" of a leader is often a missing element in the connection between the church leadership and its congregants." Especially in larger churches where it is unlikely that a personal connection can happen, Twitter can personalize the pastor, or other staff with whom they are connected.
Speaking of simplicity, Coppedge has included an in-depth chapter on how-to get started on Twitter.
Look for "The Reason Your Church Must Twitter" to be released tomorrow, Friday, January 16th! It's a steal at $5. And for $5 you can share it with your volunteers!
Have you ever started a building project only to realize that you don't have all the tools or equipment necessary to do the job? The best place to begin to look for help is from someone who has already successfully built something similar.
Is your church considering launching an Internet Campus? Looking for some answers from seasoned veterans in online ministry? Then it's critical you stop by Tony Steward's blog for the Internet Campus "Starter Kit" today! Tony is the Online Community Pastor for LifeChurch.tv. There's a great discussion including some uber-practical questions, comments and answers to things you may be wondering about. Also a step-by-step plan on how to get started. Join the discussion now.
Just as there are many ministry models and programmatic methods in the Church today, they way that church can be conducted online has many possibilities. That said, most people when they ask the question, "How do we start an internet campus?" are asking it from the angle of a new program (or program extension) they are considering launching. Honestly that is a great starting point, but the reality of the internet is that it is both a broadcasting channel and a gathering point. And as churches start Internet Campuses people will come for the broadcast and stay for the community. If a church just pushes their video and is never present and accessible virtually to the people who gather, they act rude and self-centered without even knowing it.

Meaningful new U.S. sanctions on Iran will have to wait for the next administration. President Obama continues to oppose congressional efforts to inflict financial pain on Tehran for its malign activities. In January the Treasury Department finally did react to Iran's unlawful ballistic-missile tests, but those sanctions will cause no economic damage. Instead they targeted individuals and companies—procurement networks that Tehran can easily reconstitute.
The Gulf States might not be so timid: Saudi Arabia and its allies have potent financial weapons they can deploy against Iran. The sectarian war between the Sunni and Shiite states is intensifying militarily, with proxies fighting from Syria to Yemen, and economically. On Jan. 4 Riyadh announced an end to all commercial relations with Iran and said it would cut off travel, with an exception for pilgrims visiting holy sites. In response Tehran banned imports of all Saudi products.
Last week the Saudis teamed up with Russia to propose capping oil production at January levels, putting pressure on Tehran to do the same as it tries to rescue its battered economy. Riyadh has deployed oil as a weapon before. In 2012 and 2013, after sanctions halved Iranian oil exports, Saudi Arabia raised production to prevent global price shocks. As the Iran nuclear deal was being negotiated in 2014-15, the Saudis increased oil production again. That helped to push prices below $35 a barrel. Now as Iran re-enters energy markets, desperate for economic relief, it will get only about half the price for its oil on which it based its budget last year.
Low oil prices hurt the Saudis too. Riyadh has had to sell $100 billion in assets to cover recent deficits, and Standard & Poor's has downgraded its credit rating to A-minus. Still, the kingdom is an economic powerhouse. Apart from Turkey, it has the Middle East's largest economy, with a GDP of about $750 billion—almost twice that of Iran.
Riyadh holds sovereign-wealth funds valued at almost $700 billion, and its pension funds have foreign investments of about $70 billion. Those sums alone give the kingdom enormous leverage over anyone considering investing in Iran. Saudi Arabia could make the financial players choose a side: They can have Riyadh's business or Tehran's, but not both.
There may have been no connection between the two events. Perhaps Saudi Arabia simply wanted to diversify its investments or make some quick cash. Riyadh did not make its intent explicit and continues to do business with BlackRock. Even so, the investment firm could be forgiven for seeing sticks and carrots intended to keep it out of Iran.
Saudi Arabia has also become the world's largest importer of weapons. In June it agreed to deals with France worth almost $12 billion, including a $500 million contract for 23 Airbus helicopters. Negotiations to buy fast patrol boats continue. Some observers see this as a reward for the tough line that Paris adopted in the nuclear talks.
The greatest financial lever, however, may be Riyadh's control over investment within Saudi Arabia. The country's newly accessible stock market has been predicted to attract up to $50 billion in foreign capital by 2017. That's not even accounting for the January announcement that Riyadh may sell shares in Aramco, the national oil and gas company, valued at up to $10 trillion—potentially the most lucrative initial public offering in history.
As of 2013, seven of the 10 largest construction contractors in Saudi Arabia were foreign. These companies, including South Korean firms like Daelim, Samsung and Doosan and Spanish firms like Tecnicas Reunidas, have contracts worth billions. All these firms reportedly are exploring projects in Iran, but they could quickly find themselves in an uncomfortable position.
In total, Riyadh projects long-term opportunities for foreign investment at $344 billion.Mohammed bin Salman, the kingdom's economic czar (and the king's son), has embarked on a privatization program that will likely increase the size of this pie.
Iran wouldn't be powerless in a prolonged economic conflict. The country's Petroleum Ministry hopes to attract $100 billion in investment to resuscitate its ailing energy industry, a tempting prospect for foreign capital. Nor is Saudi Arabia omnipotent: The kingdom ran an estimated budget deficit of 15% in 2015 and could burn through its foreign-exchange reserves in five years if oil prices don't recover.
Still, Saudi Arabia is clearly better equipped for economic warfare. It also has a formidable ally in the United Arab Emirates, an even larger destination for foreign direct investment that holds sovereign-wealth funds valued at almost $1 trillion. The U.A.E. is also Iran's fourth-largest trading partner, so Iranian investors are much more exposed to its markets.
The Obama administration is hesitant to impose new economic and financial sanctions on Tehran. But if the Saudis and the Emiratis unite their financial firepower, it might be enough to put the Islamic Republic's economy once again flat on its back.

Q: JavaFX TextField override key UP/DOWN behaviour I'm designing a custom time control with a TextField and want to implement the function to increase the hours or minutes when pressing the UP-Key.
This is how i intended to do it:
textField.setOnKeyPressed(event -> {
    int caretPos = editableNode.getCaretPosition();
    switch (event.getCode()) {
    case ESCAPE:
        getSkinnable().reset();
        event.consume();
    break;
    case UP:
        if (!getSkinnable().isInvalid()){
            if (caretPos < 3) {
                getSkinnable().increaseHour();
                selectHour();
            } else {
                getSkinnable().increaseMinute();
                selectMinute();
            }
        }
        event.consume();
    break;
    }
});

The problem here is that the UP-Key on default sets the caret to the beginning of the text.
I already found this post: JavaFX Textfield - Override default behaviour when up key is released
But the event that sets the caret at the beginning of the text comes before my eventhandler so this did not help me.
Does anyone know how I can "override" this behaviour?

A: The solution of @James_D resolved my issue.
textField.addEventFilter(KeyEvent.KEY_PRESSED, event -> {
    int caretPos = editableNode.getCaretPosition();
    switch (event.getCode()) {
    case ESCAPE:
        getSkinnable().reset();
        event.consume();
    break;
    case UP:
        if (!getSkinnable().isInvalid()){
            if (caretPos < 3) {
                getSkinnable().increaseHour();
                selectHour();
            } else {
                getSkinnable().increaseMinute();
                selectMinute();
            }
        }
        event.consume();
    break;
    }
});


Toronto Pearson International Airport is all set to welcome more than 10 million passengers between Canada Day and Labour Day. It is cited that this increase will be more than 30% compared to the same period five years ago.
Toronto Pearson and its partners—air carriers, Canadian customs, CATSA and more—have taken steps to prepare for this massive influx of passengers and offer tips to help make travel easier.
Hillary Marshall, Vice President Stakeholder Relations and Communications, Greater Toronto Airports Authority said that this summer Toronto Pearson is once again preparing to welcome a growing number of travellers from around the world to Toronto. She also said that they need to understand how important it is to work with the airport's carrier government partners to ensure that they have the appropriate resources in place to help more than 10 million travellers flow efficiently through their airport. Toronto Pearson is also capable to provide more visitors to local attractions, customers to local businesses and jobs for area residents.
Toronto Pearson places a high priority on ensuring an efficient and enjoyable airport experience for travellers, and as such continues to make significant investments in services and processes. The baggage infrastructure in both terminals has been enhanced, adding additional capacity for airline baggage handlers to load and unload bags, as well as 24/7 IT support to monitor over 25 kilometers of belts, automated pushers and other machinery. Additional CATSA Plus lines have been installed in Terminal 3, speeding the efficiency of passenger security screening.
The CATSA Plus program will be rolled out to all airport checkpoints over the next two years. Toronto Pearson is also offering additional support for passengers with cognitive special needs through the MagnusCards smartphone app. MagnusCards helps to ensure that users can navigate the airport more easily through step-by-step instructional card decks.
The international passengers arriving this summer will also enjoy the sounds of Canadian culture with the return of YYZ Live, Toronto Pearson's signature entertainment program. Produced in partnership with the City of Toronto, YYZ Live features a summer full of musical entertainment, with 75 performances from a curated list of local artists. YYZ Live performances are free and take place in different locations around the airport at 6 p.m. and 7 p.m. For a full schedule of YYZ Live musicians and where they will be playing, visit the YYZ Live site.
To tackle passenger rush, Toronto Pearson is also set to do fast security checking. The Canadian Air Transport Security Authority is responsible for security screening at Toronto Pearson and all Canadian airports. With all the holiday in this rush hour will be happy and secured.

Now we have another terrific fame idea to make DIY pallet headboard. Now this time we have made it in dark color shade with staining solution to it. So there is perfect black glow as a whole. The pallets make us secure between beds and wall. It has been also achieved with some sublime arrangement of pallet planks with best adhesive product like glue. We have made it perfect for hanging with durable hooks attachment to it. This idea of DIY pallet headboard will provide the pure rustic and wood glow to whole frame of bed. The whole model has been sanded with sand paper of medium grit with hands and has gone though a complete varnishing to have untouchable garnishing and beauty with shine. The colors and comfort related accessories can be varied according to room theme and desire.

Idris Elba announces birth of first baby with his wife after both battled COVID
By Ghana Waves September 14, 2020 Updated: September 14, 2020 No Comments2 Mins Read
Lockdown has allowed a slew of celebrities to welcome little ones without us being any the wiser.
And Idris Elba is the latest celebrity to reveal that his wife, Sabrina Dhowre welcomed the couple's first child.
He let the big news slip while promoting his new film, Concrete Cowboy at the Toronto International Film Festival.
He revealed that he was a father to two boys, so the couple welcomed a son in recent months.
Speaking to ET Canada, he said: 'It really resonates with me, I'm a father of two boys, and definitely I can't wait for my youngest to see this film.'
The actor, who is favourite to take over as 007, is also a father to 18-year-old daughter Isan and 6-year-old son Winston, whom he has from previous relationships.
So, now we know that he is a proud father of three! He didn't share much more details about his little one, but we are overjoyed for the pair.
It comes after Idris revealed that both he and Sabrina were tested positive for COVID-19 earlier this year.
In an interview with Radio Times, he confessed it was 'traumatic' and he feels 'lucky to be alive and thankful for being able to kick' the illness.
'I was asymptomatic so I didn't get the major symptoms everyone else got. Mentally, it hit me very bad, because a lot was unknown about it,' he confessed.
He did not mention how Sabrina coped with the illness.
Idris and Sabrina first began dating around March 2017 before he popped the question at a London screening of his film Yardie in February 2018.
The couple tied the knot in an absolutely stunning wedding in Morocco towards the end of 2019.

Book Review: A history of the upending of physics in "Quantum"
By Sara Lippincott, Special to the Los Angeles Times
Einstein, Bohr, and the Great Debate About the Nature of Reality
Manjit Kumar
W.W. Norton, 448 pp.; $27.95
If thinking about the quantum theory doesn't make you schwindlig (dizzy), then you haven't understood it, Niels Bohr, its great patriarch, famously (well, famously among physicists) remarked. Quantum mechanics lies at the subatomic base of physical reality — and ruptures any attempts to visualize it. This doesn't worry many physicists, who use quantum mechanics to correctly calculate the behavior and attributes of the stupefyingly small and choose to disregard its weirdness. It certainly doesn't worry most nonphysicists; we go about our lives anyway, heedless of the Problem. It worried Albert Einstein profoundly until the day he died. Are you smarter than Einstein?
The British science writer Manjit Kumar has written an intellectual history of the upending, in the 1920s, of classical, Newtonian physics, whose descriptions of an objective, causal reality coincide with our intuition. But quantum theory is counterintuitive. It tells us that a subatomic particle — an electron, say — is in no particular place until it is observed. (Since you cannot see an electron, "observed" here means determining its position experimentally.) It tells us that if you want to know how fast the electron is traveling, then you will have to give up knowing just where it is. It tells us, even, that an electron can be in two places at the same time. The same electron. The various predictions that quantum theory makes have been confirmed in countless experiments.
I recall having all this explained to me in the mid-1960s, over a three-hour lunch in an Italian restaurant in midtown Manhattan, by a frightened science journalist who had just learned that the bit about finding an electron in two places at once had been confirmed by the so-called double-slit experiment. Suffice to say that contemplating this made me and my lunch partner so schwindlig that by the last half-hour neither one of us was sure that the other was actually there. What Bohr might also have said is that once you grasp, however dimly, the implications of quantum theory, your life will never be the same.
This is a very good and thorough history of the quantum revolution, which is not to say that it's a particularly easy read. Unlike many books about physics for laymen, there are no equations in it — except for a couple of "simple" ones about an inch long describing the uncertainty principle, Werner Heisenberg's discovery that you cannot simultaneously determine the position and momentum of a subatomic particle. But the ideas are difficult, as you might expect from the book's subtitle, heralding "the Great Debate About the Nature of Reality."
The principals in this great debate are Bohr, whose physics institute championed the counterintuitive "Copenhagen interpretation" of quantum physics, and Einstein, who objected to Bohr's "renunciation of the representation of a reality ... independent of observation." Einstein believed, to put it simply, that an electron exists — and exists in a particular place — regardless of whether it is being observed. Bohr, and his disciple Heisenberg, believed that "until an observation or measurement is made, a microphysical object like an electron does not exist anywhere," and that "it was no longer possible to make the separation that existed in classical physics between the observer and the observed."
Kumar leads the reader as carefully as he can through the thicket of permutations that led to the completion of the theory and its eventual experimental confirmation (although his description of the Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen paradox, a vain attempt to dethrone it, may make you feel as if you're meeting yourself coming and going). He leavens the mind-bending with sketches of the remarkable human beings involved in this godlike enterprise. Among them: Max Planck, the "reluctant revolutionary" who discovered and named the quantum in 1900, when he was "forced to accept" his own data showing that radiation is emitted and absorbed in packets. The insouciant Heisenberg, young enough to be able to turn his back on classical concepts with no regrets. Erwin Schrödinger, 14 years older, who invented a rival mechanics while vacationing with his mistress in the Alps and refused to accept nature's fundamental discontinuity — even to the point of collapsing on a visit to the Bohrs after a marathon debate with his host ("Bohr sat on the edge of the bed and continued the argument" ). And the acerbic Wolfgang Pauli, nicknamed "The Wrath of God," whose intelligence scared people and who read Einstein's papers on general relativity under his desk in high school "when bored by a particularly tedious lesson."
Pauli is said to have rocked back and forth while he was thinking hard. You might try this on your way through Kumar's book. It's a wonderful trip and one you should embark on if you're interested in just what exactly is at the bottom of the garden.

Without having access to even the simplest basic knowledge, facing their enormous day-to-day challenges is a losing game for women in rural areas in most developing countries. We can change that by simply providing them with vital information in an accessible way.
This is why we created the Audiopedia. Audiopedia is a compilation of relevant questions and answers about health, nutrition, family planning, child care, work and more. All contents have been carefully developed by experts and are being translated by thousands of volunteers into more than 100 languages. Once a translation has been completed, we make Audiopedia available using mobile internet and solar-powered MP3 Players.
For the first time ever we are able to provide this information to literally every rural woman in the world. No matter where she lives, what language she speaks or whether she can read or not - we can help her and her family to live a healthier and happier life.
