RUSS O'HARRA HOSTA SOCIETY

Russ's Introductions

Welcome to ROHS -
Let's Get Acquainted!
The Russ O'Harra Hosta Society is an educational society open to all those interested in the genus Hosta. Its purpose is to promote the growing and enjoyment of hostas including their use in landscape design and the cultivation and development of new cultivars. The goals of the Society shall be in keeping with those of the American Hosta Society.
Our society is named for Russ O'Harra. Most of us do not need any introduction to either the man or his garden. Russ was retired as garden editor of Better Homes and Gardens. He had an early introduction to the species 'Hosta' by his mother in Kansas. In his garden there were no water features and few changes in grade, yet it oozed with personality, class, and above all, a love of plants.
Russ O'Harra was our most prominent central Iowa hosta enthusiast and hybridizer. He once said that he never met a hosta that he did not like. There are approximately 34 cultivars that Russ has to his credit.
In 1987, Russ and his garden hosted the Midwest Regional Hosta Society. The Midwestern hosta lovers had plenty to look at even when they were just glancing at the cracks in the driveway.
"Oh, those are nothing special. Just some seeds that washed in there," he said, casually examining some tiny hostas grown amid the concrete. Then, true hosta fan that he was, he started nudging at one with the toe of his shoe and wound up remarking, "That one looks kind of interesting."
The finishing touches to his garden were the annuals, summer bulbs and container plants placed each year by Russ. As Rosanne O'Harra once commented, "It is so Russ."


Solid colors: You could even paint the pumpkin a solid color this season. Going with something simple like purple or red could really spruce up your fall décor. One idea is to paint the bottom half of a pumpkin a certain color and then the top half in gold or with glitter.
Words: One way to make your Halloween super-chic this year is by painting it a solid color and then painting words or quotes on your pumpkin. You could do something short like "fall" or your monogram; or you could put song lyrics on the pumpkin. It is all up to you.
Glow in the dark: Another creative way to paint your pumpkin is with glow in the dark paint. This will sure stand out on a dark front porch! We recommend painting a design or doing polka dots on your pumpkin and then painting the stem as well so you can tell what it is when you turn off the lights. Your kids and the neighbors are sure to love this one.
At ProTect Painters, paint is our passion, which is why we LOVE sharing fun ideas like these with you. We look forward to seeing your creative - painted - pumpkins around town this season! If you need a hand with a slightly larger painting project, give the professionals at ProTect Painters a call - or book a free estimate instantly HERE on our site.

Grain ethanol has been in the Nebraska news almost weekly over the last couple of years - plans announced, plant construction begun, plant openings, etc. The news has buoyed corn prices this fall, despite gasoline prices in the vicinity of $2.00/gal that reduces demand for ethanol. There is concern by some that diversion of corn from food (meat, milk and eggs) to fuel will have serious consequences for livestock and food markets. Concerns are also expressed that overexpansion will turn the ethanol boom into a bust. Much research remains to be done to clarify these economic issues, but some insights below are available from cursory analysis.


Note that the items on the list are "rain to snow" setups. That is because we will have some cold air to work with as we enter late December, but it will be in/out of the area. Cold attacks like this lead to a more active storm track but come at the sacrifice that they will start as rain.
Next Thursday Friday (20th/21st), still a question of phasing of the northern energy moving across the country and another cutoff low pressure moving into Texas. Modeling is struggling with the features with a trend toward the northern feature stealing the show. This can still lead to some moisture in the area but it would be a quick-hitting system that will struggle to have time to transition from rain to snow. My caution on this is that they are very close to phasing with some of the ensemble data. In other words, if this trend develops a slower, more organized system could develop which would then lead to a risk for it to go to wintry weather. But I can certainly see why it would remain a bit split based on the upper air pattern. Needs more time in the oven.
Christmas Week.... this one remains tough. Why? As I mentioned above, there will be just enough cold air diving down to lead to 1-2 (at least) storm systems to form. Timing of these features will impact the phasing/track and yes...the lovely rain/snow line. Having said that, we cannot remove the risk for a rain to snow potential near Christmas. I don't want you guys to get too disappointed or excited. It just is nearly impossible to time it out to one particular morning right now. Once we get within a 7 day window, we will have a much better idea of the features to track and we can forecast from there.
It will likely remain active through the new year with more wintry potential. Just stay close to the blog for updates as I know this is a busy travel period and specifics count.
I will discuss all of this in the video PLUS a look at data trends into January.

Does Donald Trump Match Modern Society? Essay
🎓 Home › Essays › Does Donald Trump Match Modern Society?
≈1661 words, ≈5.3 pages (Arial, 14 size)
The election of Donald Trump came as a surprise to many. His campaign as a whole seemed to exist far outside of the scope of American political history. However, the state of the nation is constantly evolving, and an evolving political sphere can be expected to match society. Societal evolutions have pushed the country to expand far beyond a typical campaigning cycle, but Donald Trump's campaign is not the cause of the confusion and anger. This paper will argue that, while Donald Trump as a politician does not fit into trends of modern American history, his election follows the long arc of media manipulation and the modern evolution of such manipulation through the election's focus on campaign finances and wealthy media control, strong partisan division, personalities of candidates, and internet marketing and relevance.
America's wealth distribution is grossly unfair. According to the presentation of Money in Politics, 400 Americans control the same amount of wealth as 150 million other Americans. The wealthy America has the ability to spend more money on government and elections. The Tea Party, a conservative political movement, was organized by the millionaire Koch brothers, who continue to fund it along with other millionaires. Donald Trump exists at the top of the American class system, and has support from other businessmen and rich elites. Due to this, personal spending and donations from people close to him can account for large amounts of money, in addition to donations from supporters. While Donald Trump did not raise more money than Hillary Clinton, his status as a wealthy businessman falls into the political system of money determining political outcomes. The wealthy elite has the ability to donate large sums of money from personal accounts as well as through businesses, including media businesses, which affects how media are run and the content shown to average Americans, potentially swaying opinion.
American media is largely owned by six main corporations: The Walt Disney Company, Comcast, CBS Corporation, 21st Century Fox, Viacom, and Time Warner. These six may become five in the future, as Viacom and CBS are considering merging the two companies. This lack of competition leads to less distribution of independent ideas through mainstream media and less opposing viewpoints available to the average American voter. Furthermore, due to the political affiliations of the wealthy elite in control of some media outlets, the news released is often limited to one side of the story. For example, Fox News is known to be very conservative and support Republican ideology. Opinions are often packaged as news and taken as fact by Americans lacking media literacy. As media outlets continue to consolidate, the amount of independent and rounded discussion can be continuously limited. While Trump did not have major support from any notable media corporation, party division is strong enough to encourage conservative outlets to support anti-Clinton opinions, helping push on the fence conservatives to vote for Trump. The current media concentration is unprecedented in American politics, but again the political evolution follows societal evolution.
The growing partisan division in both government and among average Americans is another factor that could help explain Trump's victory. The election of Barack Obama saw opposition among party lines, arguably due to racial and other social issues in addition to simple party disputes. As discussed in the class presentation of Obama's legacy, the Affordable Care Act and other legislation passed during his administration furthered party division. As seen in Fox's support of Trump, party support can outweigh support for any one particular candidate. Division in government matches division within the public. Instead of discussing politics, parties criticize each other for superficial reasons, such as President Obama's decision to speak in a football stadium – a move the McCain campaign called "proof of the Democrat's grandiosity." Political parties unite in order to attack the other, rather than unite to pass laws to help the nation. The strong political divide is a strong reason for Trump's election. Many conservative Americans are unhappy with the progress Obama has made, and would vote for any Republican candidate over any Democratic candidate. Many voters vote by party line on positions they are less familiar with, such as their House Representative, rather than research candidates to vote for whom they believe can best represent them. Donald Trump's decision to campaign as a Republican rather than a Democrat or Independent allowed him to tap into the party divide and win the election. While the scope of this division is unprecedented, party lines affecting voters dates back to the beginnings of American politics and the formation of the two-party system.
One of Trump's most important traits in winning the presidential election is his larger than life personality and separation from the stereotypical politician. Many supporters praised Trump for his ability to speak his mind, often unfiltered. Some saw this as a refreshing and honest trait unlike anything the White House had seen before. This is comparable to the success of the Kennedy family in politics, which used their competitive nature, good looks, and charisma to win over voters. America cared more about John F. Kennedy's personality than his policies. Trump's status as a celebrity entering politics is also comparable to Ronald Reagan, who moved from acting to politics. The actor entered the White House during a time of disillusionment within the American public, similar to today. People distrusted the President following the Watergate Scandal and felt that Presidents Ford and Carter were not strong enough to lead, so Reagan used these feelings to help win the White House. These historical comparisons show the importance of presenting a new personality to the American voters. Donald Trump is not a political figure, but he tapped into society's love of entertainment and huge personalities and won the election. The election of a charismatic figure is not a new phenomenon.
It is interesting to compare Trump's election to the campaign of billionaire Ross Perot. Perot ran for president in 1992 against Bush and Clinton. Perot managed to gain millions of followers and take the lead from both candidates before dropping out of the race, then reentering soon after. Perot's erratic behaviors and scandals mirror those of Trump, yet Trump succeeded in his campaign while Perot did not. Perot's quick rise to the top is a good indicator that Trump could easily succeed in campaigning. Upon entering the race, Perot pulled millions of followers away from two experienced politicians, similar to how Trump managed to beat the diverse pool of Republican candidates. The support of this billionaire candidate shows the continued evolution of American politics and voting patterns, as well as rationalizing Trump's election.
Perhaps the most important factor in Trump's election and the art of political manipulation is the use of social media. This new technology allowed for an unprecedented amount free publicity and media coverage for Trump. While unprecedented, media coverage is not a new tool to political manipulation, as seen with each new advance in media technology. It is, however, the most important factor for Donald Trump's election. His constant use of social media such as Twitter forced Americans to pay attention to him. Traditional news media as well as new media covered every Tweet and comment made by the President-Elect. In doing this and creating a huge media presence, Trump's media coverage and discussion reached more voters than any candidate in the past.
Trump's election does not fit in the arc of politicized media manipulation; it forces evolution of the art of political media. Many predicted a Clinton victory and were shocked when the election went in Trump's favor. Polls were wrong, much like polls predicting Truman's loss to Dewey in 1948. The election of Donald Trump seems to be a unique exception to political manipulation, but the election simply takes known trends and extends them to match modern society.

This four-year-old is desperate to take her first steps but life-changing surgery will cost £80,000
Rosie-May was born 12 weeks prematurely and weighed just 2lbs
Emma Grimshaw
When little Rosie-May was born, doctors told her family the devastating news she was blind and would never be able to communicate or walk.
But the adorable four-year-old has proven experts wrong, and by the age of one was saying her first words and beginning to crawl.
Mum Josie Edwards said she knew medical staff were incorrect almost straight away because her daughter seemed extremely alert.
Rosie-May was diagnosed with cerebral palsy after being born 12 weeks prematurely and weighing just 2lbs. Despite thriving since her first dismal prognosis, she is still unable to walk unaided.
Her parents are now desperate to pay for her to travel to America where she can undergo a specialist operation which will allow her to take her first steps.
The NHS now pays for some SDR operations, but Rosie-May has twisted muscles in her legs which would not be treated with this surgery.
Police threaten to charge Bristol granddad who was in induced coma after heart attack
Three months in intensive care
Josie, who lives in Weston-super-Mare, said her pregnancy was uneventful until she suddenly started experiencing contraction at 28 weeks.
She said: "I underwent an emergency appointment at the doctors and was sent immediately to the hospital and within an hour Rosie-May was born.
"When Rosie-May was delivered the medical staff rushed her straight off after being placed in an incubator.
"I didn't see her for the first day which was really hard.
"She then spent three months in intensive care. I had to travel from Weston to be with her every day because there was nowhere I could stay in Bristol.

"In her time in the ICU Rosie-May received an ultrasound of her brain. This is where the doctors found that Rosie-May had holes in her brain. She also had a small bleed and cysts.
"Doctors then took me to a small quiet room and explained to me that Rosie-May has cerebral palsy. They told me she would be blind and she wouldn't be able to communicate.
"Rosie-May deserves a better quality of life."

£80,000 needed
Rosie is due to begin school in September and is desperate to walk through the gates on her first day.
Sadly, her mum fears it could take over a year to raise the £80,000 needed for the life-changing operation.
"She just wants to run around like most kids her age," said Josie. "We really want to make that happen for her."

You're right. The semicolon should be replaced with a comma.
Is this a good sentence with good punctuation in it. For the party we brought cake and ice cream; fruit salad; and punch. Does this have good use of semicolon.

Banditos loose in San Diego
Sextet band Banditos.
(Nicole Mago)
By Scott McDonald
Banditos, a sextet from the same "Magic City" scene that produced bands like Alabama Shakes and St. Paul and the Broken Bones (Birmingham, AL), is headed to San Diego.
The garage/rock/blues six-piece now calls Nashville home, but they won't be seeing much of it for the next month.
After multiple touring runs for their 2015 self-titled debut, Banditos is back on the road in support of last year's sophomore release, Visionland.
Named after a local 90s theme park that squandered its $60 million price tag in just five years, Visionland finds the band gently expanding their foundation of electric, barroom honky-tonk with producers Israel Nash and Ted Young at the helm.
PACIFIC recently spoke with singer/guitarist Corey Parsons from his home in Nashville ahead of Thursday's show.
PACIFIC: Catching you right before you hit the road for a while again. How's it going?
COREY PARSONS: Good. Yeah, we're going out for a month this time. We've definitely done longer than that, but a month is a month. And I've noticed that before I go out for a while, or when I'm getting back from a long while, I kind of have to ease myself into being social when we're going back out, and ease myself out of going out every night when we're coming back. So right now, I'm going from being a hermit to jumping on stage.
Are you naturally a hermit?
Umm… …no. I suppose I'm an introvert, but I'm getting there. Still trying to figure that out, I guess.
How did a hermit-slash-introvert end up as the singer and guitarist in a rock and roll band?
I wish I knew, man (laughs). There was music in my house, but no one really played an instrument. My mom plays a little piano, but she didn't play all that much growing up. But she always had music on. I think it started there. Then I just dove into it myself. I found out about Bob Dylan and Johnny Cash, the good stuff, when I was about 12 or 13 — on top of the CCR, Alabama, and Bob Seger that my mom listened to all the time. And they're definitely all influences.
You guys are now based in Nashville, but it seems like the music scene in Birmingham has really come up.
I think it's always been a great scene. People are just now starting to take notice of it — which is awesome.
Banditos.
Banditos is a sizeable band. Is there a specific way you navigate the creative process?
Not really. We try a number of methods. But we're always down for trying out new s**t, too. Some songs I write on an acoustic guitar, or (singer/banjo player) Steve (Pierce) and I write it on banjo and guitar, and bring it to the band. Then it gets transformed into something completely different — usually better. Other times, we'll get together as a band and figure things out instrumentally, or make a song through (singer) Mary (Beth Richardson). We do it a lot of different ways.
It's nice to have options.
For sure. That's one of the pros of being in a six-person band that's been together for six-and-a-half or seven years. And we've all been friends for at least 10 years — some of us, 15 or 16 years. We're all from the surrounding areas of Birmingham, but we convened and got to know each other at this all-ages DIY venue that's sadly no longer there called Cave 9. It was a pretty impactful spot in all of our lifetimes. We were all about 13 or 14 years old and seeing punk bands play live music for the first time. It was huge. We were all so fortunate to have a spot like that. I can't even imagine how our lives would've turned out without that place.
Your sophomore record, Visionland, has been out for a few months now. It's named after a now-defunct, $60-million dollar theme park in your hometown. Any stories from the 5-year window it was open?
They've dozed most of it, but there's a waterpark in that spot now. I believe it's still open. They somehow salvaged something out of that place. And the last I heard, it's called Alabama Adventure now — a terrible name for a water park. Deliverance vibes for sure (laughs). But oh yeah, we all went there. Our bass player actually worked there. But he quit the day they asked him to clean human s**t out of a photo booth.
What's next? Plan? Or take it as it comes?
We're constantly working. I think if we compartmentalized things, it'd be a whole lot harder to jump back into the writing mode. We actually just recorded a new song the other night at our guitar player's house. I don't know if it'll make it onto the next album or not. We're just keeping the juices flowing. Never want to get rusty. But we're going to put out a new album before too much longer anyway.

Spree Myriad Options
==================

This extension makes a few changes to the Spree data model and controller
logic, to let you create Products with many Option Types/Values, but not have
to maintain sets of Variants for each combination.

In other words, if you have a store where Products have 5 user-selectable
options, and each option has 10 potential values, and you want to offer every
combination of those options to customers, in a default Spree installation your
store admin would be faced with creating and maintaining 97,656,259 Variants -
just for that product.

This extension bypasses the LineItem/Variant/Option Value relationship to make
that uneccessary. You just create the list of Option Types and Option Values
normally in Spree, and associate those as needed to Products. A LineItem then
has many OptionValue's directly, and only is tied to the 'master' variant for
that product.

Of course, with this extension, inventory is no longer tracked on a
per-option-combination (Variant) basis. It is only tracked per-product (Master
Variant).  The use case would assume that inventory is not important, or that
products are manufactured to order.

Changes to the Product add-to-cart form will list selections for each option as
a set of radio buttons.

In the admin, Option Values also get a new 'adder' field, which is added to the
line item price when that option is selected and added to the cart.

Option Values can also be set up by the admin with a "Customization Lines"
numeric value, which may be useful for "Engraving Message" or similar
user-entered text. This should result in the customer seeing the specified
number of fields below each option value, which they can fill out as needed.
There is as yet no validation on these user-generated values.

Status
======

0.1.0 - Tests complete and passing.
0.1.1 - bugfix for edge case
0.1.2 - Works with spree 1.1.3

Example
=======

Add to gemfile

    gem 'spree_myriad_options', :git => 'git://github.com/sbeam/spree_myriad_options.git'

Install

    $ bundle
    $ rails generate spree_myriad_options:install
    $ rake db:migrate # (if not run during install)

Restart Rails, and in your Products admin, add some Option Types and Values to
a Product (and remove any Variants - only the invisible 'master' Variant should
exist on a Product for this extension to affect it.

Then in the Product detail page you should see sets of radio buttons for each
configured option. Each cart/order view should display the selected options in
the line item detail.

Note, this extension might not jive with some others, like
`spree_variant_options` (although it's a great extension, it still would
require maintaining Variants for each option combination)

Similar Gems
------------

You might also want to look at
[spree_flexi_variants](https://github.com/jsqu99/spree_flexi_variants) which
has similar goals, and more features than this. Since our needs were simpler,
this was begun as a total rewrite that would simply provide a way around the
Variant maintance problem in Spree, no more no less. There are now a few more
features, but think of this as more a clean, well-tested blank-slate that can
be built upon to meet your app's needs, rather than a turnkey install-and-go
extension.

TODO
----

  * replace simple `option_value.customization_lines` with Customization
    classes, ie includable modules with field definitions and validation
    callbacks
  * (maybe) some JS to auto-update the price on the product detail form

Contributions
-------------

feedback, ideas, reports, new features and fixes would be great. Fork and
create a pull request. Patches should come with green tests.

Testing
-------

Be sure to bundle your dependencies and then create a dummy test app for the
specs to run against.

in Spree 1.1.2+, you should be able to do this -

    $ bundle
    $ bundle exec rake test_app
    $ bundle exec guard

But, due to an issue with the dummy app generator and namespacing in
Spree 1.1.1 (see https://github.com/spree/spree/issues/1580) you will need to
create a barebones Spree site somewhere else and hook this engine to that for
testing. See `spec/spec_helper.rb` and change the `path_to_test_store` value.

The Public Information Office was established to make the voice of the Turkish Cypriots heard across the world. Greek Cypriots, who occupied all government bodies of the Republic of Cyprus in 1963 also occupied its means of communication, such as Radio, Television, the News Agency and Public Information Office, despite the Republic being established in the principle of partnership. This prevented the voice of the Turkish Cypriots from being heard within the country and over the world.
The then Deputy President of the Republic of Cyprus Dr. Fazıl Küçük stressed the necessity of establishing a Public Information Centre, in order to make announcements about events taking place on the island and meet the information needs of the Turkish Cypriot people. As a result, Necati Sağer, the TRNC representative in the UK at the time, was called back to the island, to set up the Turkish Cypriot Public Information Centre. The Centre was officially established in 1964 under the supervision of the Deputy Presidency and the General Committee.
The Turkish Cypriot Public Information Centre, which conducted its works under great challenges and lack of personnel, compiled daily news and information, and issued a regular bulletin to amplify the voice of the Turkish Cypriot people to the whole world. These were produced at the printing house of the HALKIN SESİ newspaper, and were distributed to the foreign press in Lefkoşa, to members of the UN, and to the world through the Turkish Embassy in Lefkoşa. A "Special News Bulletin" which was first published and distributed in English on 21 December 1963, was sent to the foreign missions and journalists in order to put forward the Turkish Cypriot position, particularly on the Cyprus problem and to give information about political, social and economic life in that period. Publication of the Special News Bulletin ceased in 1986.
The Akritas Plan, which was made by the Greeks in order to destroy the Turkish Cypriots in the island, was translated into Turkish and English by the Turkish Cypriot Public Information Centre and was distributed internationally.
The Turkish Cypriot Public Information Centre which provided a window to the external world for the Turkish Cypriots has developed over the course of time and became an office to provide a flow of information after the 1974 Peace Operation. The "Public Information Office Law" was approved at the TRNC Assembly in 1988, and the Office gained its current status.

To us, Big Macs are the ultimate c*cktease. You see those friggin' commercials and they look HUGE and amazing then you order one and you're like, "Really? That's it?" So, kudos to this guy for being easy to please. Here are some really f***ing gross stats about his epic run.

Nebraska fence laws and the responsibility of landowners have evolved over time since the first established statute in 1867. According to current fence laws in Nebraska landowners are required to equally split the cost of establishing and maintaining a fence to divide their properties if either of the parties would like to establish the boundary. Landowners may also work out a mutual agreement on the cost of establishing and maintaining a fence according to their own requirements. The provisions established between the two parties in the mutual agreement may better align with their unique circumstance and serves as a better solution than other legal recourse.
A general rule of thumb landowners in Nebraska have used to establish or maintain fence lines is to meet in the middle of the boundary and each individual looks to their right to identify their responsible portion. The part of the fence line to the individual's right is the portion of the fence line the landowner would either establish or maintain throughout the year.
Current fence laws define the types of fences that each party must pay equally to cover if one of the landowners would like to establish the boundary and a mutual agreement could not be reached. Landowners are encouraged to work with their neighbors when deciding the proper arrangement for establishing or maintaining a proper fence line. Other legal measures forcing the uncompliant party to cooperate may be costly and take a considerable amount of time. Seeking the services of a lawyer along with filing a court case requiring a judge to settle the dilemma significantly increase the cost of establishing a fence line.

The University of West Georgia will offer three new degree programs at UWG Newnan this fall, including a new type of degree in interdisciplinary studies.
Dr. David Jenks, associate vice president of academic affairs, said the three new degrees will join a growing list of offerings at UWG Newnan, which started another new program last fall.
Beginning fall 2018, UWG Newnan will offer bachelor's degrees in social and behavioral health, interdisciplinary studies, and organizational leadership. In fall 2017, the location added a bachelor's degree in health and community wellness through UWG's College of Education (COE).
The organizational leadership program, housed in the College of Social Sciences (COSS), is targeted at non-traditional students, or returning adults, and will serve as a "launch pad" into the e-major offered at UWG, Jenks said.
The new academic program will also bring administrative changes, as students will benefit from an expedited admissions process and a concierge service with a single point of contact during their enrollment to answer any questions they may have.
Interdisciplinary studies — which comes with a completely new degree for UWG that's neither a bachelor of arts nor bachelor of science, but rather bachelor of interdisciplinary studies — will be a good fit for high-performing students who have varying interests but can't find a fit elsewhere. These students will essentially design their own program based on their interests.
Jenks said UWG representatives recently met with 30-40 business leaders in the Newnan-Coweta Chamber of Commerce, breaking out into small groups and asking the business owners what types of employees they need now.
UWG Newnan also will offer social and behavioral health — a new program UWG-wide for those who want to study the cultural, social, behavioral and mental aspects of health, in addition to health analytics, methods and services.
Graduates will have employment options in hospitals, court systems, public health agencies, human services, in-patient behavioral health facilities, case management, assisted living facilities and nonprofit organizations.
In fall 2017, UWG Newnan began offering a degree in health and community wellness, housed in COE. The fastest growing major at UWG's Carrollton campus, the program is already the largest in Newnan outside of nursing.
Jenks said UWG will continue to use its Newnan location as a test site in which new, innovative programs will be introduced.

Home Celebrity Scott Kelly announced Retirement from Music After He Admits to Abusing Family!
Scott Kelly announced Retirement from Music After He Admits to Abusing Family!
On Saturday, Scott Kelly, singer, guitarist, and founding member of the metal band Neurosis, came to Facebook to "address certain misconceptions and put the record right" concerning the "emotional, financial, verbal, and physical abuse of my wife and younger children."
Author R.L. Kelly claims he covered up the violence he suffered and "I separated from my relatives and friends, and I devised methods to keep my wife and children home from job and school.
Keeping control became an obsession, and I resorted to using threats, manipulation, and even talk of self-harm or suicide, as well as harming other people physically and damaging their reputations, to maintain it."
Scott Kelly also said in the same statement that he had "completely and permanently retired" from the music industry.
In reaction to Kelly's article, the surviving members of Neurosis published a statement reading in part, "We cannot emphasize the amount of revulsion and sadness we feel for a guy who we once called Brother."
A post shared by Scott Michael Kelly (@scottneurosis)
After discovering "about horrific acts of violence he did against his family over the past years," the band said they had to break up with Kelly in 2019. They claim that Kelly's wife specifically asked the band to keep their identities secret at the outset. Therefore Neurosis waited to announce themselves publicly.
It was in 1985 when Kelly, Dave Edwardson (bass), and Jason Roeder (drums) formed Neurosis—adding guitarist/vocalist Steve Von Till in 1989 and synth/visual artist Noah Landis in 1995, transforming Neurosis from a hardcore punk band into one with doom-metal tendencies.
Charlie Puth is Gay? See Who He's Dating Now!
Not only did albums like Souls at Zero, Through Silver and Blood, and Times of Grace leave permanent traces on metal, but they also impacted heavy music.
Not to mention his solo work and the first album by his newest band, Absent In Body, which came out in March, Kelly has been engaged in several Neurosis offshoots.
Kelly claims that he sought to prevent his wife from leaving the violent relationship by "I made an effort to persuade her and others that I was insane, hallucinating, and clueless. She made some inquiries about therapists and psychiatrists on my behalf.
The experts exposed my elaborate falsehoods and deceptions." He follows his most harrowing admission: "I hounded and tormented her day and night and forced her and our child to live in continuous terror."
Kelly has made similar claims in the past. A 2017 essay detailed his fight with and cover-up of mental illness "at the workplace and in public from the folks I see daily. " Kelly claims that after stopping his medicine, he "abandoned his family for a week while regularly tormenting my wife with cruel phone calls and text messages."
For the previous twenty years, we have lived far away and only seen Scott Kelly when meeting up to collaborate on music or perform gigs, Neurosis says in its statement.
Harry Jowsey's Dating: Shocking Relationship History!
"When we weren't there, we had no clue what life was like for him and his family. Scott Kelly has admitted that his abuse was planned, specific, and hidden from even his closest friends and family."
Sanford Parker, Kelly's bandmate in Corrections House and Mirrors of Psychic Warfare and a producer and musician in his own right, "didn't know how much Scott Kelly was torturing his kids. He had often spoken about his "mental sickness" and actions he regretted, but never something on this scale."
Parker's answer to the metal community is even more direct: "Many people seem to like him for his forthrightness, but I find it completely unwarranted. Neither you nor I should feel sorry for Scott Kelly."
Through their music and the lyrics penned by Kelly and Von Till, Neurosis have spent their whole career digging out the lowest depths of despair.
There is nothing heroic about persistently beating your wife and children, the surviving members insist, even as they "grieve for the loss of our life's work and a legacy that was important to us."

Singapore, Malaysia abort High Speed Rail project
/ Posted on 4 January, 2021 13:37
The High Speed Rail (HSR) project between Singapore and Malaysia has been terminated, after both countries failed to reach an agreement on changes sought by Malaysia due to the economic fallout from the pandemic.
The announcement was made in a joint statement by the prime ministers of both countries on Friday (January 1), following their meeting via videoconference on December 2, 2020 to review the status of the HSR project, including changes proposed by Malaysia.
Malaysia to compensate Singapore for costs incurred in the Singapore-Kuala Lumpur rail link project following its termination
"In light of the impact of Covid-19 pandemic on the Malaysian economy, the government of Malaysia had proposed several changes to the HSR project," read the joint statement by the leaders.
"Both governments had conducted several discussions with regard to these changes and had not been able to reach an agreement."
Following the termination, Malaysia has to compensate Singapore for costs already incurred, said Singapore's Transport Ministry.
Singapore and Malaysia had signed the Kuala Lumpur-Singapore HSR Bilateral Agreement in 2016. In September 2018, both parties agreed to postpone the construction of the HSR until May 2019.
In June 2020, Singapore's then-transport minister, Khaw Boon Wan, announced that Malaysia had requested for another seven-month extension to allow both countries to discuss Malaysia's proposed changes to the project. Both parties had also agreed then to a final extension of the suspension period to December 31.
The proposed rail link would have cut travel time between Singapore and Kuala Lumpur to 90 minutes, as compared to over four hours by car.

Q: Question regarding order of matrix Given any positive integer $n$, characterize all positive integers $m$ such that there is an invertible $n×n$ matrix with rational entries whose order is $m$. Honestly I have been trying to answer this question but can't find any proper characterization, so any help or hint will be appreciated. Thanks

A: Let $m$ be a positive integer that factors as $m=\prod_{i=1}^kp_i^{m_i}$, where the $p_i$ are distinct primes and the $m_i$ are positive integers.
If $A$ is an invertible $n\times n$-matrix with rational entries whose order is $m$, then $A^m=I$ and so its minimal polynomial divides $x^m-1$. This polynomial factors as a product of cyclotomic polynomials, i.e.
$$x^m-1=\prod_{d\mid m}\Phi_d,$$
so the minimal polynomial of $A$ is a product of distinct cyclotomic polynomials $\Phi_d$ with $d\mid m$. Moreover, because the order of $A$ is precisely $m$, the least common multiple of these divisors must again be $m$. That is to say, if the minimal polynomial $m_A$ of $A$ is given by
$$m_A=\prod_{j=1}^\ell\Phi_{d_j}
\qquad\text{ so that }\qquad
\deg m_A=\sum_{j=1}^\ell\varphi(d_j),$$
then we must have $\operatorname{lcm}\{d_1,\ldots,d_\ell\}=m$. It turns out that...

...if $\operatorname{lcm}\{d_1,\ldots,d_\ell\}=m=\prod_{i=1}^kp_i^{m_i}$ then $\sum_{j=1}^\ell\varphi(d_j)\geq\sum_{i=1}^k\varphi(p_i^{m_i})$.

From this it follows that
$$\deg m_A\geq\sum_{i=1}^k\varphi(p_i^{m_i})=\sum_{i=1}^kp_i^{m_i-1}(p_i-1).$$
On the other hand, by Cayley-Hamilton, the degree of the minimal polynomial of $A$ is at most $n$. So for an $n\times n$-matrix of order $m=\prod_{i=1}^kp_i^{m_i}$ to exist we must have
$$\sum_{i=1}^kp_i^{m_i-1}(p_i-1)\leq n.$$
To see that this upper bound is sharp, you can simply take for $A$ the companion matrix of the polynomial
$$\prod_{i=1}^k\Phi_{p_i^{m_i}}.$$

Wes Anderson directed a Christmas film for H&M and it is delightful
Buro daily
Wishing you a very Wes-y Christmas
It's been two years since The Grand Budapest Hotel was released with another two years to wait for director Wes Anderson's next, as-yet untitled film. It's safe to say we are due for a fix.
With that in mind, fans of the director, listen up: All your Christmases have come early. The filmmaker has turned his signature whimsical, artistic, OCD-organised flair to a short film with H&M to celebrate the holiday season.
For his latest, Adrian Brody joins a cast of Christmas castaways for a predictably-quirky, pastel-hued, pan-shot-heavy tale on a train. Set in the candy-coloured interiors of the H&M Winter Express, manned by Conductor Ralph, (a moustachioed Adrian Brody) the four-minute short explores themes of love, care and Christmas, entitled Come Together and doubles as an advertisement for H&M's winter collection.
In the film, Brody's Conductor Ralph is tasked with organising a "small, complimentary Christmas brunch including chocolate-flavoured hot beverage with whipped topping," once it is realised the train's arrival is delayed past December 25th. The rest is pure delight à la Anderson.
H&M has revealed its next big designer collaboration!

EU leaders unite against Trump
US president on the menu over dinner in Bulgaria.
By	David M. Herszenhorn
Updated 5/17/18, 3:09 PM CET
SOFIA — EU leaders on Wednesday vowed that they would not be bullied by Donald Trump on the Iran nuclear accord or threatened steel tariffs.
Over a nearly five-hour long dinner of meatballs and buffalo steak in the Bulgarian capital of Sofia, the 28 leaders chewed over their tough, new reality of a U.S. president who acts unpredictably and often, it seems, more as a foe than as a historic ally with shared values and political objectives.
Officially, the leaders are in Bulgaria, which currently holds the rotating presidency of the Council of the European Union, to meet with western Balkan nations as a bloc for the first time in 15 years, and rev up partnership initiatives aimed at blunting the influence of Russia and Turkey.
But the surprisingly aggressive moves by Trump in recent weeks — first by slapping down tariffs on steel and aluminum and issuing a brief one-month exemption for negotiations with Brussels, and then by withdrawing from the Iran nuclear agreement and unilaterally declaring a reimposition of sanctions on Tehran — prompted EU leaders to adjust their agenda.
The dinner, which was supposed to focus on developing new proactive policies on digital innovation, still began with a discussion of technology and there was general consensus that the EU should do more, including by creating a European Innovation Council and promoting pilot projects in areas like artificial intelligence, officials said.
At their dinner, the leaders reaffirmed their common line that "the EU will not negotiate with a gun at its head."
But the focus quickly moved to the more nettlesome subject of Trump. Council President Donald Tusk had foreshadowed the tone of the discussion at a pre-dinner statement to reporters, where he rather somberly noted, "With friends like that, who needs enemies?"
To drive home the point, Tusk's statement was quickly published on Twitter, Trump's preferred method of communication.

Europe's ultimate Trump strategy: Appeasement
Matthew Karnitschnig
The EU's two most influential leaders, German Chancellor Angela Merkel and French President Emmanuel Macron, had each visited Trump in Washington ahead of his decision on Iran and were able to share their personal observations with colleagues, which officials briefed on the discussion described as "extremely realistic" and "not overly optimistic" — a diplomatic attempt at saying they see little hope for improvement in transatlantic relations any time soon.
The dispute over steel tariffs has drawn particular outrage in European capitals. At their dinner, the leaders reaffirmed their common line that "the EU will not negotiate with a gun at its head." They are demanding that Trump issue a permanent exemption from his punitive tariffs before the current reprieve expires on June 1, and they said that in return that would be willing to initiate talks aimed at addressing shared concerns.
Former U.S. Ambassador to the EU Anthony Gardner said Trump is damaging transatlantic relations across the board.
Among the items potentially up for discussion: deepening energy cooperation, notably in the field of liquefied natural gas; stepped-up regulatory cooperation; joint work on reforming the World Trade Organization, particularly over ways to unblock appointments to the WTO appellate court; and reciprocal improvement of market access for industrial products, including cars, an official said.
But leaders are insisting on the permanent exemption as a prerequisite to such talks and said any negotiations would be aimed at "the objective of avoiding a trade war," the official said.
On Iran, the leaders expressed unanimous support for the position of France, Germany and the U.K. — the three EU powers that helped broker the nuclear deal along with the U.S., Russia and China — to preserve the agreement so long as Tehran is meeting its commitments. Officials said there is consensus among leaders to work to shield European companies from any punitive action by Washington and they said they are prepared to take additional steps to address Iran's ballistic missile program and its military adventurism throughout the Middle East.
But the leaders were also adamant that they would continue pressing for adherence to a "rules-based international system" — a reflection of their dismay that Trump pulled out of the deal despite a unanimous U.N. Security Council resolution that had endorsed it.

— Dalia Grybauskaitė (@Grybauskaite_LT) May 16, 2018
The dinner was held in a high-tech center against a backdrop of pink roses. Bulgarian officials also noted that the leaders dined at a table made of paperboard, on which they could write messages that would later be displayed as part of an exhibit.

In Brussels on Wednesday, former U.S. Ambassador to the EU Anthony Gardner said Trump is damaging transatlantic relations across the board.
"One and a half years into the Trump administration, one can only conclude that U.S.-EU relations will be significantly, but temporarily, damaged in almost every area where we used to collaborate," he told the European Parliament.

It's Army Day
Today in China is Army Day; it marks the 78th anniversary of the founding of the People's Liberation Army (PLA). It recalls the first engagement (in Nanchang) between rebellious Nationalist forces led by He Long and Zhou En-Lai and the soldiery loyal to the KMT under the command on Chiang Kai-Shek, and is considered a very important date in the annals of modern Chinese history.
So it seems unusually direct for a general close to current Chinese leader Hu Jintao to sharply remind his comrades on this day of their obligation of unswerving loyalty to the party. Today's Standard carries the story and speculates about ongoing power politics within the PLA, particularly given the large number of officers given full general's rank by outgoing President Jiang Zemin.
Although we are now in a new era of Chinese politics, these signs of internal friction hearken back to a decades-old debate about the PLA about whether it should be more 'red' or 'professional'; that is to say, whether professional qualifications or loyalty to the party line was more important. The early high point of professionalization in the PLA was during and in the aftermath of the Korean War, when the Chinese successfully defied the might of McArthur and the American legions and fought them to an armistice. But war hero Peng Dehuai's brave defiance of Mao's 'Great Leap Forward' led to his being disgraced by the party.
Over the next twenty years, particularly during the Cultural Revolution, the pendulum within the PLA swung very much towards political orthodoxy, with the result that the most powerful generals were the most politically astute cadres within the army. The limits of that strategy were demonstrated after Mao's death in the disastrous war with Vietnam in 1979.
That war caused as much soul-searching within the Chinese military as Vietnam did to the US armed forces, resulting in rapid professionalization of the armed forces, to the extent of them developing many institutions independent of party control. The world, and the Politburo, paused with baited breath on one tragic day in 1989; but ultimately the PLA remained loyal to the party leadership.
In the era of privatisation and commercial enterprise being wedded to 'Chinese socialism', though, the party did realize it needed more oversight over the military, which, with their armaments (and other) industries, they were creating a fiefdom of their own, sometimes dictating foreign policy initiatives with arms sales. So over the last decade, the need for politicization has increased somewhat, although the morale and professional level of the armed forces remains high given their substantially increased budgets.
Ultimately though, as Mao once said, "power comes down the barrel of a gun," and the CCP's monopoly on power remains so long as their monopoly remains on the PLA. In the absence of democratic elections, the CCP's legitimacy arises from prosperous government. In an increasingly sophisticated and complex economy, the ties that bind the PLA to the CCP remain quaintly expressed in Marxist-Leninist terms. That being the case, it is no wonder that the head cadres in Beijing feel the need to remind the Army, on their special day, who is boss...

DELHI, Oct. 26, 2015 – The National Basketball Association (NBA) and the ACG Worldwide Group (ACG) today launched ACG-NBA Jump,India's first national basketball talent search program. As part of the NBA and ACG's commitment to grow basketball in India, the first-of-its-kind program will provide basketball players from around the country the opportunity to develop their skills under the guidance of NBA-certified coaches. One top player from the ACG-NBA Jump program will receive the opportunity to attend an NBA Development League (NBA D-League) tryout in the United States. Satnam Singh, the first Indian-born player to be drafted into the NBA, tipped off the program at the Thyagraj Sports Complex today in Delhi.
Satnam setting a pick while teaching kids the floppy play.
The program will be spread across in three phases. In the first phase, six regional elite camps will be held for one day in six different cities, i.e., Delhi, Chandigarh, Hyderabad, Mumbai, Chennai and Kolkata. 60 top players from each of these regions, with a catchment area of four to five states, will go through skills training, game and talent evaluation.
The phase two will consist of a national elite camp where top 32 players selected across the six regional camps will assemble for a four-day period. An NBA star and international coach would travel to India to conduct the camp. All the players who make it to the national elite camp will become a part of Elite Talent Club of which NBA will track and monitor the progress. Year on year top 32 youth, coming out of this program will be added to this elite club.
The third and the last phase is where the top player from the national elite camp will be selected for the tryout for NBA's D League. Prior to the NBA D League tryout, NBA-certified coaches will work with the selected talent for two months to get him in the best shape before the tryout. Besides, NBA will also assess option of sending the player for special development programs abroad.
The NBA D-League is the NBA's official minor league, serving to develop players, coaches, and front office executives. Entering its 15th season, the NBA D-League features 19 teams in the U.S. and Canada, each of which is singly-affiliated with an NBA parent club. An all-time high 38% of players on 2014-15 NBA end-of-season rosters boasted NBA D-League experience.

Is it possible to upload a Gideros made app to iTunes store with the latest beta?
I already have the iOS development program and the Certificates an Provisioning Profiles.
Surely it's possible. Just develop your application, and then export using File -> Export Project. In latest build it's only for iPhone and iPad, but with 2011.9 final release which is due a few weeks, you'll be able to export to Android.
In fact most of what you listed above is in our top priority.
Gideros is looking very good.
One more question. If I understand, the free version of Gideros will show a splashscreen?
When will the pay version be available?
Current versions (both 2011.6 stable and 2011.9 beta) do not put a splash screen on your application, that is, you can develop a game using Gideros Studio, send it to iTunes and it doesn't show any banners.
The paid version will be different from this version (at least) in terms of splash screen. In the future, we might be adding some more features (e.g priority support, external utilities, plugin support etc) to the paid version exclusively, but under any circumstances, there'll always be a free version you will be able to use.
We are examining different payment infrastructure and we'll be integrating one of them. It'll take 3-4 weeks from now on. Prices won't differ from what we have stated on our web page currently, at the time payment system start working.
Yes it is possible and it is not a difficult task to do.
Yes, I found out and it's very easy, just use BUILD or RUN and it's done.
Works great with Xcode 4.2.

Ag department to host annual seedling sale

Arbor Day, a national tree planting occasion, is just around the corner. If you would like to add trees to your property, the Louisiana Department of Agriculture and Forestry office in Opelousas has a deal for you.
During its annual shade tree sale Tuesday through Thursday, the office located at 1638 Creswell Lane will offer hardwood tree seedlings for a dollar.
Justin Tureau, a forester with LDAF, said the trees aren't much to see right now — most are only about a few feet tall. "They look like little sticks," Tureau said.
But with proper care, he said, they can grow into beautiful trees.
"Depending on the species, you can expect 11/2 to 2 feet of growth each year. With good soil you can even see growth of 3 feet a year. Within five years you will have at least some shade for your home," Tureau said.
This year, the Opelousas office is offering hardwood seedling packets that contain two seedlings each of Water Oak, Sawtooth Oak, Willow Oak, Shumard Oak or Bald Cypress for $2 a packet.
"All seedlings are bare-root and come with planting and care instructions," Tureau said.
Also available will be pine seedling packets of 20 advanced generation Slash Pines for $6.
While the hardwoods are great for decorating yards and shading houses, Tureau said the pines are better for wind breaks or to screen your property from the road.
"These are the fastest growing of all the species we are offering. In a few years they will be 10 feet tall. It is not good near a house," Tureau said.
The Shumard Oak should also be planted away from houses. While the seedlings are small, the resulting trees can be massive. "It is a big tree. It can reach 80 feet tall when it gets its full height," Tureau said.
The trees are being offered on a first-come, first-served basis and cannot be reserved in advance. As a result, Tureau encouraged interested homeowners to arrive early.
"This is always very popular. A lot goes out the first day," Tureau said.
Raymond Duplechain, director of Keep Opelousas Beautiful, encouraged everyone to consider planting trees. "It is just the green thing to do," he said.
Trees filter pollution from the air, help recycle water and prevent soil loss.
Trees create shade and can increase the value of your home while cutting cooling bills.
They also provide wildlife habitat and attract songbirds into your yard.
That's not all, Duplechain said: "They beautify the community."
LDAF Commissioner Mike Strain said his agency is offering seedlings at all LDAF offices throughout the state.
"Our orchard-grown hardwood and pine seedlings are descended from superior stock," Strain said. "Since the seedlings can be purchased in small packets, they are manageable for just about any home gardener."
Tureau said LDAF employees in Opelousas will be on hand during the sale to share tips on the best places to plant your trees and what to do to make sure they prosper.
He said the parish landfill in Beggs also offers free mulch and compost to any parish resident — a great complement to the seedlings.
"You don't want to fertilize them the first year because it may burn the roots," Tureau said. "The compost is like a slow release fertilizer and will help to keep the roots moist."
The trees don't require much care beyond that, he said. "Just be sure you keep them watered for the first year. That first year they are concentrating on building up their root system. If it makes it through that first year, it will be OK," Tureau said.
For more information, call the Opelousas LDAF office at 337-948-0230.

Q: Is there a way to share a lock (e.g. a lock file) between R processes? I have a bunch of different R processes (independently launched from the command line) that all need to load different big files. To avoid clogging the network, I want to add a lock / semaphore, e.g. via a lock file, so that they get their file one after the other. Only one process should be able to acquire the lock, on a standard Linux system.

A: While I couldn't find an R package, there is the Linux command lockfile that can be used:
write("Attempting to get lock", stderr())
system("lockfile /tmp/my_simple_lock")

# Do stuff

write("Releasing lock", stderr())
system("rm -f /tmp/my_simple_lock")

A: A maybe more explicit version of the previous answer. If the file you are accessing is called filename, and you are operating in a single directory... (if you use different directories, then obvious replace filename with the entire path)
write("Attempting to get lock", stderr())
system("lockfile filename.lock")
\# do whatever you want to the file
write("Releasing lock", stderr())
remove.file("filename.lock")


It is important to note that this includes research that the participants themselves are not aware of. An understanding of the levels of risk defined by the National Statement will help you to assess if your proposal requires ethical approval. If you have ethics approval this does not mean that you can commence your study at a NSW Public Health Organisation, in order for you to begin your research at such organisation you must complete a site specific application for Research Governance.

WIDENING THE SEARCH FOR EXTRATERRESTRIAL INTELLIGENCE
3/12/2010 05:49:00 AM Publicado por Alquimia
Etiquetas: Astrobiology
The Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI) has been dominated for its first half century by a hunt for unusual radio signals. But as he prepares for the publication of his new book The Eerie Silence: Are We Alone?, Paul Davies tells Physics World readers why bold new innovations are required if we are ever to hear from our cosmic neighbours.
Writing exclusively in March's Physics World, Davies, director of BEYOND: Center for Fundamental Concepts in Science at Arizona State University in the US, explains why the search for radio signals is limited and how we might progress.
As Davies writes, "speculation about SETI is bedevilled by the trap of anthropocentrism – a tendency to use 21st-century human civilisation as a model for what an extraterrestrial civilisation would be like... After 50 years of traditional SETI, the time has come to widen the search from radio signals."
Questioning the idea of an alien civilisation beaming radio signals towards Earth, Davies explains that even if the aliens were, say, 500 light years away (close by SETI standards), the aliens would be communicating with Earth in 1510 – long before we were equipped to pick up radio signals.
While SETI activity has been concentrated in radio astronomy, from Frank Drake's early telescope to the more recent Allen Telescope Array, astronomers have only ever been met with an (almost) eerie silence.
Davies suggests that there may be more convincing signs of intelligent alien life, either here on Earth in the form of bizarre microorganisms that somehow found their way to Earth, or in space, through spotting the anomalous absence of, for example, energy-generating particles that an alien life form might have harvested.
"Using the full array of scientific methods from genomics to neutrino astrophysics," Davies writes, "we should begin to scrutinise the solar system and our region of the galaxy for any hint of past or present cosmic company."

When your browser prompts a 403 Forbidden error, it's telling you that you don't have permission to view a requested file, page, or URL. This error usually occurs when your IP address is restricted from accessing a page or resource and likewise could be due to a removal of file permission. In short, access to the page or resource you're trying to reach is denied.
To give you some insights on how to deal with this error in case you'll encounter it while using Safari on your iPhone XS, I've outlined some helpful workarounds to serve as reference to troubleshoot the browser app or your phone's network connection. Read on for more information.
Before you start to troubleshoot the Safari app and your iPhone XS, check and ensure that your Internet connection is working fine and stable. Access to some websites may also be barred due to slow or intermittent Internet connection. Try browsing through different websites and pages to see if they're loading and working as intended. Or you can also try opening online apps to see if they're working. If not, then you will need to deal with Internet problems first. If the Internet is working fine but Safari still prompts a Forbidden (403) error, then you may go ahead and try applying these workarounds.
First solution: Force close Safari then reload.
Like any other apps, Safari can also give into minor errors and glitches when triggered by some factors from network-related issues to random bugs. And when this happens, random symptoms and errors may occur. Usually, such minor app problems are easily remedied by force closing and restarting it. Otherwise, soft reset or restart the phone. So here's what you can try doing first.
Then swipe up on the Safari app preview to end it. Do the same to the rest of the app previews you see.
A soft reset dumps junk files from the internal memory that might have caused problems to the Safari or any other app's functions. This doesn't affect any saved data on the phone memory, hence no files will be deleted in the process.
Second solution: Update Safari app to the latest version.
Then follow the rest of the onscreen prompts to implement the update completely.
Tap to enable Automatic Updates option.
This will prompt your device to automatically update to the latest version of iOS whenever Apple rolls out a new version.
Third solution: Clear cache, cookies, and browsing history from Safari.
Tap the option to Clear History and Website Data under Privacy and Security. This won't affect the browser's autofill information.
To clear cookies and keep browsing history on the Safari app, go to Settings-> Safari-> Advanced-> Website Data menu, then select the option to Remove All Website Data.
Quit the app afterwards and then reload it.
Your iPhone will then instigate clearing and restoring network defaults and then reboots automatically when done. After it boots up, set up and connect to your Wi-Fi network to use the Internet and other online services again.
After the reset your iPhone reboots and then loads the default values and options. This means you need to enable options and features you need to use including Wi-Fi. Reconnect to the Internet, launch the Safari app, navigate to certain sites and see if the error is gone or not.
You may have to consider reporting the problem to the Safari-Apple Support for further assistance in configuring the app permissions and advanced settings. But if the error only occurs when trying to access a certain page or URL, then that's likely an isolated problem to that specific URL and not with the Safari app. In that case, you may opt to report the problem to the site administrator for recommendations. To make sure that the error isn't attributed to your current IP address, contact your Internet service provider's technical support team for help. Your IP address may need to be configured.

Lincoln Park condo project a rarity: mostly 4-bedrooms
Posted on September 23, 2020 November 4, 2020 by CorwinPartners
The project is two blocks west of Lincoln Park and Diversey Harbor, and the same distance east from Clark Street shopping and dining.
DENNIS RODKIN
Aiming for families who want to live in Lincoln Park but can't afford the neighborhood's single-family homes, a pair of planned condo buildings will have a rarity: mostly four-bedroom units.
"It's like having a single-family home all on one floor," said Zev Salomon, who is developing the two buildings in partnership with MC Construction. "Four-bedrooms are a gap in the market that we want to fill."
Over 80 percent of the units in the two buildings on Hampden Court will have four bedrooms plus a den or office space, which means that fourth bedroom is more likely to be used as a bedroom.
Of the 4,374 condominiums on the market in the city of Chicago as of yesterday, 247 were four-bedrooms, according to Midwest Real Estate Data. That's about 5 percent.
In Lincoln Park it's about 12 percent: 35 of the 300 listed condos. These figures include both planned and existing condos.
Salomon's project, called the Hampdens, is two six-story buildings with a combined 45 units. Of them, 38 are four-bedrooms. Four are three-bedrooms, with a den, and three are five-bedroom penthouses.
Buyers have reserved five of the condos in the 15-unit south building, at 2753 N. Hampden Court, and construction should start by the end of the year, Salomon said. First move-ins would be in late 2018.
All condos in the 2753 building will have direct elevator access into the unit. Prices in the building run from just under $1.2 million for a three-bedroom to nearly $3 million for the 4,600-square-foot, two-level penthouse.
In the north building, at 2773 N. Hampden, all 30 units will be four-bedrooms, but without private elevator access. Prices start at about $900,000 and go to almost $1.5 million. This building is on the corner with busy Diversey Parkway, while the other is tucked farther down Hampden Court, a short, quiet street.
The project is two blocks west of Lincoln Park and Diversey Harbor, and the same distance east from Clark Street shopping and dining. Designed by architecture firm Sullivan Goulette & Wilson, the brick-clad buildings will occupy the site of a now-demolished grocery store that faced Diversey, and a parking lot behind it on Hampden Court.
The previous owners had proposed a 17-story building on the site but failed to get aldermanic approval and in March sold the parcel to an entity headed by Salomon. The purchase price was almost $3.9 million, according to the Cook County Recorder of Deeds.
Sales in the Hampdens project are being handled by Cory Robertson of Corwin Partners at Jameson Sotheby's International Realty.
