Q: Margin issues with navigation bar breaking photo slideshow I am having a little trouble getting my navigation bar styled how I want. For some reason my navigation bar lost its bottom border, when I try to CSS the navigation background it has no effect, and if I use margins(bottom ones) then the Wowslider goes crazy, and when it is changing images it goes super large.
It must be in my css, but I will post both my HTML and CSS. What I want the navigation bar to look like is
but I need to get the above issues addressed first (not even sure that type of nav bar is possible)

Iraqi officials in Baghdad are preparing for a high-level international conference on Iraq to be held this coming week in Sweden. The conference will give the Iraqi government its first chance to outline its achievements and progress since the International Compact on Iraq was launched last year. VOA's Suzanne Presto reports from the northern Iraqi city of Irbil.
A conference to review Iraq's progress during the past year will be held in Stockholm on May 29. It will be the first follow-up to last year's conference in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt, where the international community laid out the Iraq Compact - a five-year-plan to promote peace, political stability and economic reconstruction in Iraq.
That gathering was seen as the biggest and most inclusive diplomatic push to end Iraq's crisis since the 2003 invasion that toppled Saddam Hussein.
Iraq's deputy prime minister, Barham Salih, is preparing for the conference in Stockholm. He told reporters in Baghdad that he is looking forward to the opportunity to get more assistance for Iraq.
Iraqi officials say both financial and political issues will be addressed at the conference. They say more that 90 high-level delegations from various countries and international organizations will participate.
Salih says he is pleased by the number of delegates set to attend.
He says he believes such international participation shows that the international community has faith in Iraq's future. He adds that he hopes the conference will yield real and concrete results in Iraq, not just on paper.
In the annual report to be discussed at the conference, the Iraqi government said that progress on security and political fronts is a precursor to economic development. The report says "such progress has been made and made strongly."
The report also says the government has achieved what it deemed "notable progress" on the implementation of the Compact's five-year-plan, adding that challenges lie ahead.


At last she's tolerating her tummy time.
Today she almost rolled over. Almost.
She just doesn't know what to do with that one arm.
It keeps getting in the way.
I kinda like looking at her like this anyway.
You're growing up much too quickly. You're no longer a tiny little baby but a whooping 12 pound 6 ounce three-month old.
I've had to put away your little newborn sized clothes, and it nearly broke my heart. I can't believe how tiny you used to be. You've almost outgrown some of your 0-3 months already! Slow down!
You are holding your head up mighty fine these days and you like sitting up big and tall and looking around the world. You are tolerating your tummy time much better and will last about 3 minutes instead of 20 seconds before starting to complain.
You are reaching and grabbing now. You hold onto my shirt while nursing, you hold on to your clothes if you can get them. You try to help put your pacifier in your mouth, which I think you are becoming much too fond of, by the way! You've started grabbing fistfuls of my hair and I have to pry your little hand loose. I'm careful not to wear dangly earrings around you for fear of the pain you may cause when you grab ahold and yank.
You love the book "Pete the Cat. I Love My White Shoes".
It makes you grin big, as do many other things. You are quite the smiler these days and your smiles melt our hearts. Especially when you give that bashful one where you close your eyes and duck your head. So cute!!!
You are drooling like crazy and sucking on your fingers and fists so much you've sucked little red places on your knuckles.
This has been a big month for you. I had to go back to work when you were almost 11 weeks old and you began staying with a babysitter every day. You've tolerated that so well. I think of you all day long while I'm working and can't wait until 4:00 to get my hands on you again. I'm looking so forward to when school's out so we can be together all day again.
You are my everything, little one. Words cannot describe the love I feel for you. Always know this. Always know how much you are loved, no matter what.
That's what my sweet niece Ashlynn put on her Facebook status first thing this morning.
We celebrated with a little family party of cake with homemade ice cream and chocolate syrup.
That is, after we got the cake situation straightened out.
My mom had ordered a cake from the local Supermarket Bakery. I was to pick it up after school today. All I knew is that is cost $17 and something and it was chocolate with chocolate icing.
"What kind of cake did you say?" I asked as she placed a small white cake box on the counter and opened it up to reveal a very small round white cake with zebra icing that read "Happy Birthday Ashlynn".
Ashlynn mumbled something about that she thought it was going to have flowers all over it, and I took the cake with a smile. My mom must have changed her mind, I rationalized. We paid for the cake, $17 and something and went home to my mother's house.
We couldn't believe how badly the bakery had messed up, but a cake's a cake and no one was crying over it.
The cake was rather adorable and we learned later in the day that our cousin was coming over and had made Ashlynn a rainbow cake. Add that to the 6 pack of cupcakes we picked up after seeing the size of the zebra cake, and we knew there would be plenty for everyone.
So we called the bakery, and sure enough there was a chocolate sheet cake with chocolate icing and flowers that read "Happy Birthday Ash" waiting on us to come and pick up.
I then rushed to the bakery and made the cake switch.
Now what are the odds of that happening?
The bodies, er, the remains of my three missing chickens have been discovered.
The culprit is unknown. Possibly a bobcat, maybe even a housecat. Who knows. But whatever it is has carried the chickens off to hide out while eating them. Unlike the coyote who was planning on chowing down right in the open pasture. I don't know if we'll ever find out.
I'm brokenhearted about my hens. I fear one of them was my good pal Freedom.
All the others are penned up safely and accounted for.
Disgruntled, but penned up and accounted for.
I'm so glad my workweek has only five days. I could not stand taking EK to the babysitter one more day this week.
She has a fabulous sitter. A wonderful lady, a wonderful home. I couldn't ask for better. I know she is taken very good care of.
But I miss her. And I need her.
It has been my first full week back at work. I wish I could say it was easy. It wasn't. Today especially. She was fussy this morning and we ran late. Every time I tried to put her down so I could get ready, she cried. She has a gunky eye and a stuffy nose and I know I've carried some bug home to her from this germ infested place called elementary school.
Added to that, I'm tired in the evenings and feel like I can't give her the attention we both need.
This weekend I can't guarentee I'll do anything except spend time with EK. We will sing. We will read. We will play. We will snuggle. We will smile. And I will thank God for my job, but more so for the weekends.
Well folks, I'm here to announce my flock of 14 birds is officially down to eight.
I should have eleven chickens. I had eleven chickens earlier in the week. But tonight, I only counted eight. I scanned the vicinity and found none, so I waited until dusk for them to come in to the coop to roost in order to get a good count. There are only eight.
I looked everywhere for signs of foul play. Or would that be fowl play?
I got nothing. Not a feather, not a speck of blood, not a chicken track.
I've questioned the dogs. I've interrogated the horses. Played a little good cop/bad cop. They're not talking. Not even when I offered a reward of 1 bucket of oats for any information leading to the arrest of person or persons involved in the disappearance of 3 chickens in one week.
It's a classic whodunit. Has something bad happened to my three chickens?
Or have these hens simply crossed the road to get to the other side?
I will be interrupting your regularly scheduled program for any urgent news updates.

THE HELM'S DEEP ELECTION
We were often told, back when I was a student, that artistic genius anticipates life. Many times in my long life since, I have had occasion to understand the truth of what my teachers revealed to me.
So it is that I reference Peter Jackson's "The Two Towers," in the climactic scene of which we see the battle of Helm's Deep. Wherein Theoden, seeing the army of Orcs massed at his castle wall, says to Aragorn, "such hate !" And then 'and so it begins."
Today, in our terrifying election, we see Helm's Deep take place in our lives. We see "such hate," and we have seen it begin.
But let us not mistake what we see. Those of us who are known as "white" because we have skin with less melanic chemicals than the skin of other people tend to think that our Helm's Deep is all about us. It isn't. In the contest between the Orc and Theodin that is now reflected in our election, most Americans aren't conflicted at all. People of color stand with Theodin; almost all LGBT people stand with him; and most women join him tool. The conflict is one among "white" straight men only.
The conflict did not begin yesterday. It came to life on the day that Barack Obama was elected in 2008. It spawned in the brains of people who could not accept — felt threatened — that a Black man was now our leader. It began with the poison of racism, and it has always had racism at its core and still feeds on racist weed today.
For the insecure, weak and morally vitiated who felt themselves existentially threatened by Barack Obama as President, rescue came in 2011 when Trump, who sensed the racist current as yet unspoken, but strong running, brought forth his "birther" attack. From that day to right now, the racism he so precociously grasped has underpinned the entire energy of his campaign. Racism is the forge in which he, like Saruman in the movie, welded his army of Orcs.
Racism has proven a very prolific weed; and Trump has known how to grow it. Out of racism — a virulent, lethal racism — has grown the misogyny that underpins Hillary hate; the anti Semitism of the alt-right; and the homophobia on the alt right as well. Just as the Orcs of Helm's Deep are depicted as hate-grunt, so the Trump campaign has wielded hate almost exclusively. There isn't a single positive feature in his campaign of insult, belittlement, irresponsibility, fraud, and childishness, and this by design : because he knows that only all the varieties of hate that he can conjure into play can keep his campaign of death alive. But if that has been his game — and clearly it has — that it caught a wave lies at the door of those who have bought into it. You have full freedom to reject racism and all its progeny.
Why this hate among people deemed "white" ?
I doubt that many "white" people even realize that this crisis of hate arises from their being white; or that the Trump crisis is present only among "white" people. I am thinking that most 'white" people, the men especially, but also some women, take for granted that power in our society is theirs alone. Just as it took long for the NFL to allow Black quarterbacks, or for the sports world generally to promote people of color; just as many law enforcement officers fear people of color rather than embrace them; just as — as President Obama has said — people of color hear the car doors locking as they walk by; just as people of color have warn their children about the dangers of :"driving while Black," or even of sitting in a parked car, reading a book while Black; just as no Black person I know of has ever been compensated financially for the lynch murder of her ancestor 100 years ago; just as Black men are arrested multiple times more frequently than 'white" men, for crimes petty if at all; just as women have to endure the sort of gloated groping that Trump boasted of in that 2005 tape; just as women have to hear people trying to tell them what to do with their bodies; just as women have no leadership role modes and, trying to elect one, find their candidate pelted with lies and garbage, by men mostly, but also by women envious of another — just as I list all of these and have in mind a thousand other denigrations, prejudices, falsehoods and envies — including vicious attacks on immigrants who may look "different" or speak a language other than English — that have arisen from obscure crevices into the gunked river of this election, slimed and cyanided, so the crisis of soul squeezes those take their safety and respect for granted because in America being "white" (and not LGBT) gives you that.
I say "crisis" because that's what is going on. That is what Trump has made of this election. When he uses teams of lawyers to stiff people and fight them to exhaustion when they sue, the (white) people who tongue his heels see themselves doing likewise. When he says it's smart not to pay taxes, his belly masturbators wish they could say the same. When he attacks journalists whose sin is to report facts, his mushroom fungi feel vindicated for believing what they want to believe.
In the bully poison of his laboratory of evils, his mouth slaves salivate over who thery can drown next in filth syrup.
He gives his stipple people the power of devils, of thunder gods, the delicious depravity of a destructo party that doesn't end when the gong strikes midnight.
And what are his stipples afraid of, that needs be destroyed ? Simply this :that the future will not be theirs; that it will be different looking, different talking, different in gender roles, different associations, different economy, different liberties. That it will be unrecognizable, no north or west, no compass at all by which to get one's bearings while those in it need no compass because the bearings are known and are made by them.
That is what they fear, Trump's "white" people, and they are right: it's a battle of life and death, and Trump has called them to iot because he knows that they know it and because he too faces life or death.
But in the movie, the good guys win the battle of Helm's Deep. And so it will be in our election, and for "white" people; and for the future that our nation is inexorably embracing.

Faxon Firearms unleashes a new M&P pistol slide series onto Smith & Wesson fans, launching two new designs in the lineup — the Patriot and Hellfire slide profiles.
Machined in-house from 17-4 stainless steel, the slides readily accept Glock sights and feature a Diamond-Like Carbon, or DLC, finish. The slides come equipped with an enhanced front, rear and top serrations, placed to help owners during slide manipulations.
The slides are optics-ready, with each profile available either a Trijicon RMR cut or a multi-optics mounting system which tackles the Vortex Venom, Vortex Viper or Burris FastFire.
MSRP on the Patriot is $499 while the Hellfire retails for $525. Both slides will be on display at the NRA's Annual Meeting in Dallas May 4-6.


VATICAN CITY – The Vatican has summoned journalists for a briefing on what Italian news reports say is an expected pardon for Pope Benedict XVI'S former butler, who stole the pontiff's personal papers and leaked them in a bid to expose the "evil and corruption" in the Catholic Church.
Paolo Gabriele was arrested May 23 after Vatican police found heaps of papal documents in his Vatican City apartment. He was convicted of aggravated theft by a Vatican tribunal on Oct. 6 and has been serving his 18-month sentence in the Vatican police barracks.
The Vatican has made no secret that the pope would pardon Gabriele. The only question was when. A pre-Christmas pardon was widely expected.
Veteran Vatican journalists reported the announcement would come Saturday, and the Vatican press office scheduled a last-minute briefing.

A progressive spirit was awakening in the United States in the mid-nineteenth century. This movement was notable for emphasis on education reform, prison reform, women's suffrage, the abolitionist movement and an embryonic conservation movement among other concerns. Although the beginnings of the conservation movement are often traced to the establishment of national parks and the sustainable harvesting of forests (echoing the beginnings of seventeenth century efforts in England), an early whisper of the conservation spirit was found in the work of the US Coast Survey in major harbours of our eastern seaboard.
In the early 1850s, the primary and secondary triangulation of the east coast of the United States was progressing up the coast of Maine and by 1852 had reached the vicinity of Portland, Maine. The triangulation established the latitude/longitude grid for follow-on topographic and hydrographic surveying. The primary triangulation consisting of large triangles and quadrilaterals was observed by Superintendent of the Coast Survey Alexander Dallas Bache and served as the framework for the secondary triangulation that was completed by Charles Boutelle, a multi-talented surveyor who went on to become chief hydrographer of the Union's South Atlantic Blockading Squadron during the Civil War and then Assistant in Charge of the Office of the Coast Survey. The topography was developed by Alexander Wadsworth Longfellow, brother of the famous poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. Portland was the family home of the Longfellows and Alexander produced an amazing topographic map that is as much a work of art as technically excellent cartographic product. Lieutenant Maxwell Woodhull, United States Navy, was commanding officer of the Coast Survey schooner Gallatin and in charge of the hydrographic surveying. This talented array combined to not only produce a beautiful chart of Portland Harbour, but also pioneer an early example of the conservation movement in the United States.
Apparently in response to Woodhull's foresight, city leaders invited a commission to study their harbour consisting of Superintendent Alexander Dallas Bache of the Coast Survey; General Joseph Totten, Chief Engineer of the Army Corps of Engineers; and Commander Charles Henry Davis of the Navy. The report of the commission is a landmark in the study of harbour engineering, perhaps not so much for its scientific content, as for its social and philosophical content. This report claimed to mark the first time that a harbour was studied to determine the most effective and least injurious means of improvement prior to construction as opposed to studying a harbour after improvements that caused great harm had been made. Perhaps reflecting the reform-minded spirit of the times, the commission recommended the establishment of a permanent government body vested with the authority to monitor and regulate changes caused by both natural causes and human activity. The commissioners furthermore espoused the then radical viewpoint that private property rights must be subordinated to the 'common good' in order to assure unbridled development did not irreparably harm Portland Harbour.
A second major goal of the study was to generate a plan which would guide the city of Portland in expanding its harbour facilities and help it "escape, in future, those great evils and expenses which have been so frequently incurred by mismanagement or neglect in other places." In particular, the report referred to other nations as having many examples of mismanaging harbours as the result of rapid and unplanned construction of new facilities in response to an increase in trade.
Superintendent Bache, his hydrographers and surveyors, the harbour commission, and the citizens of Portland, Maine, recognised these principles long before Pinchot's insights into the nature of conservation. Although harbours and their waters are not often thought of as natural resources, their study and protection both by local laws and federal laws were among the first actions taken to protect the natural resources of the United States.

Why Will Mars Never Become a 'Second Earth'?
© NASA . Ames Research Center
https://sputniknews.com/science/201808051066971168-mars-study-greenhouse-effect-elon-musk/
In June, NASA scientists suggested that the best evidence that life once existed on Mars has been revealed in 3-billion-year old organic matter in rocks and cyclical emissions of methane from the Red Planet's surface, discovered by the Curiosity rover.
In an article for Der Spiegel, German researcher Thorsten Dambeck specifically focused on why people won't be able to turn Mars into a 'second Earth', a question that coincides with the title of his article.
Greenhouse Effect Needed
Dambeck recalled that at present, the average temperature on Mars stands at minus 63 degrees Celsius (minus 81.4 Fahrenheit), even though short-term temperatures above the freezing point of water occur on occasion.

In this vein, Dambeck referred to a new study conducted by a team of scientists led by Bruce Jakosky from the University of Colorado who wondered if it is possible to change the atmospheric shell of Mars in order to prompt a powerful greenhouse effect and warm up the Red Planet.
"The results of the study finally revealed that influencing terraforming of Mars is a mission that will never be achieved because to heat up to the thaw of water ice, air on Mars should contain about 1000 millibars of carbon dioxide," Dambeck pointed out.

Unlike the Earth, minerals containing carbon dioxide are uncommon on Mars and it is impossible to extract more than 50 millibars of gaseous CO2 from these reserves.
Terraforming is the deliberate modification of a planet's atmosphere or temperature to make it similar to the environment of Earth and habitable by Earth-like life.
Pouring Cold Water on Musk's Mars Colonization Plans
Dambeck pointed out that Jakosky's survey can also, for example, pour cold water on Elon Musk's ambitiouns plans pertaining to the Red Planet.
"In the next decade, the head of Tesla and SpaceX plans to use state-of-the-art spacecraft to send thousands of colonists to Mars, where they will build a city. According to Musk, one ticket will cost about 200,000 dollars," Dambeck wrote.

Synthetic Biology Future Science Fellow: 'Eventually Humans Could Inhabit Mars'
In this context, he added that "Jakosky makes a sober conclusion: even if even more carbon dioxide is detected on Mars, most of the planet's surface will have to be transformed," a project which Dambeck claimed cannot be implemented with the help of current technologies.
"Since [US astronomer Carl] Sagan mentioned something similar to this project in 1973, Mars-related data has increased significantly. However, the plan to transform the desert Red Planet with the help of its gas shell still remains the idea of a science fiction novel," Dambeck concluded.

SUNY Welcomes New Chancellor
Kristina M. Johnson, '79, MA '81, PhD '84, will become the second female chancellor of the State University of New York in September. In that role, she'll oversee 29 four-year colleges and universities and 30 community colleges, which collectively serve about 440,000 students.
An engineer, a professor, a government official and an administrator, Johnson served as dean of the Pratt School of Engineering at Duke University and as provost and senior vice president for academic affairs at Johns Hopkins University before joining the Obama administration in 2009 as the Department of Energy's undersecretary of energy.
Earlier in her career, she was a professor of electrical and computer engineering at the University of Colorado at Boulder, where she co-founded the Engineering Research Center for Optoelectronic Computing Systems, supported by the National Science Foundation. While there, Johnson and her research lab spun off several companies that helped restart the 3-D movie industry. (She holds a patent on technology that allows for high contrast color in 3-D films.) Johnson also founded Enduring Hydro, a clean energy consulting and construction company that now operates as Cube Hydro Partners, which invests in, develops and modernizes hydroelectric facilities in the eastern United States.
While on the Farm, Johnson reveled in her physics classes and, as a PhD student, worked on holography and optical signal processing. She also played varsity field hockey and helped start a club lacrosse team for women. "I think what I remember and appreciated the most about my eight years on the Farm is Stanford was a family," Johnson writes in an email. "Faculty, graduate and undergraduate students and staff all looked out for each other and taught each other. And when I was diagnosed with Hodgkin's disease, the faculty, students and staff all rallied. Their support and the care of my oncologist Dr. Rogoway and my radiologists Dr. Ray (really!) and Dr. Fish gave me these last 37 years that prepared me, along with all my other Stanford experiences and friendships, for this next adventure. Thank you and Go Cardinal!"

Iris hut
The Iris hut is a prefabricated steel structure used by the British military predominantly during the early part of the Second World War. They served as barracks, workshops, and storage facilities in World War II Great Britain.
Iris huts were also used as accommodation in the tunnels of Gibraltar, where they were situated in chambers excavated under the Rock of Gibraltar.[1]
2 Present day
2.1 Bicester
Architecture[edit]
An Iris hut is constructed of a clamped tubular steel frame with a central entrance.[2]
The hut's mode of construction and dimensions are similar to those of the Romney hut, as was its purpose. Both were used to accommodate facilities for which abnormal roof spans were required.[3] On some airfields, two or more Romney or Iris huts would be erected to accommodate large stores and workshops.[4] However, the Iris hut had a major design flaw: it was unable to resist the weight of snow lying on the roof and had a tendency to collapse after snowfalls. For this reason, it was superseded by the Romney hut by 1941.[5]
Present day[edit]
Surviving Iris huts are now rare due to their fragility.
Bicester[edit]
Six original examples (along with six Romney huts) are still located at the Central Ordnance Depot Bicester, part of the British Ministry of Defence's Logistic Services Bicester facility. The Bicester huts were completed by July 1944, by which time the design had been almost entirely phased out elsewhere. They were needed in connection with Operation Bolero, the build-up of U.S. forces in Britain for the campaign in Europe, which aimed to accommodate 1,446,000 U.S. service personnel on British soil by 30 April 1944. It resulted in "the greatest expansion of military infrastructure ever to occur in British history."[2] The troops were accommodated in 16-foot (4.9 m) wide Nissen huts and their stores and workshops in 35-foot (11 m) wide Iris huts, manufactured in Britain from billet steel imported from the United States.[6]
The huts at Bicester became surplus to requirements following the withdrawal of the bulk of the U.S. forces in early 1946 and most were demolished during the 1960s. It is unclear what the Iris huts were used for, but the presence of ventilated panels suggests that they were used to store flammable goods.[2]

Kingdom Hearts HD 2.5 ReMIX Featured in Famitsu!
The KHIII part of the trailer is the start of KH3.
Best news yet~ =D
Pretty I guess.
Tangled, Frozen, Brave, trying to think of what world that had to omitted from the interview. This is going to be interesting debate, what's the new world for KH3?
obviously Big Hero 6. Duh.
Lnds500
I'm gonna withhold judgement until after I've seen true comparison screenshots. Square already gave us bullshots with 1.5
It's a wonderful spread though.
LightUpTheSky452 said:
I love hearing about Yasue-san and Nomura-san's interactions with each other. They seem like they'd good buddies. It was Tai Yasue who talked about how he liked to prod Meow Wow in DDD, right?
Yep, that was him! He doesn't seem to be very fond of Meow Wow, or if he is, he loves teasing it by poking it and putting it up against a Tyrant Rex.
Also... I'm sort of surprised Yasue-san was worried he'd said too much about the KHIII teaser. I mean, it's pretty obvious that it's Eraqus and Xenahort when you see the drawings and stuff in the trailer. And it's also pretty clear that it happened in the past... I mean, it hasn't been confirmed, of course, but I thought they wanted us to put all of that together ourselves. Hmm...
The silly thing is that it's actually not as obvious as we all thought! There are still many people who believe they're new characters or other individuals that aren't Xehanort or Eraqus.
That's me, too. Except I do it with Flowbermeow and Skelterwild. I mean, who doesn't love seeing a floral cat-dog creature being BFFs with a T-rex skeleton whose head can detach?
Probably the reason why many still think that way is because they aren't as KH-literate as a multitude of us here? Also, perhaps it doesn't cross their minds that the sketches are of Xehanort and Eraqus... or that they are of someone's head to begin with since they are pretty faint.
Lnds500 said:
With what we saw at E3, these probably aren't bullshots at all. The graphics & model quality is way better than 1.5
Solo said:
I think it's because they want it to be someone else, such as an older Sora and Riku for example. It doesn't seem to occur to them that it's actually an even that took place long before the series started because it would not involve characters they are currently more interested in.
Yasue:Yeah. (laughs) [omitted] in a world, the Keyblade can change into [omitted]. The Keyblade will also be reflected on the style of the world.
Uh oh... looks like someone said a no no...
Reading over this, I realised I read it wrong.
It doesn't make sense to say the film name for a world, then say "in a world" after it, that makes no sense.
However, saying a character's name makes more sense. But they wouldn't omit Sora now would they?
Riku. Riku. Riku. Riku. Riku.
If Riku isn't playable, I will flip out.
It's gotta be Riku.
Please be Riku.
Ruran
Flesh by mother, soul by father
I'm more hype for it being Mickey if only because he hasn't been a true playable character yet (outside of KH2 and multiplayer).
Knowing the storyline of KH3 though, and 3D, it'd most likely be Riku though.
Guys, you're thinking about this wrong. It's not other playable characters... it's the other characters in your party! Donald and Goofy both have Keyblades now and have mastered them well enough to transform them! They omitted it so we don't know this amazing plot twist.
Rael_Oblivion
I'm adding my voice to the 'PLEASE let Riku be playable' crowd.
Also, if the Keyblade changes with the world, does that mean no more keychains other than the ones for the base keyblades? O.O
Or is it just for certain worlds and we'll get keychains for others? Hm...
Rael_Oblivion said:
It just refers to transformations during battle, like how in Twilight Town it changes into two guns. Keychains will no doubt still play a part in the series.
We'll no doubt still receive Keychains. This is referring to Keyblade transformations, such as the dual pistols Sora used in the D23 Japan Expo trailer.

Criticism and interpretation
Johanna Beyer
by Amy C. Beal
Paper: 978-0-252-08072-2 | Cloth: 978-0-252-03915-7 | eISBN: 978-0-252-09713-3
Library of Congress Classification ML410.B58562B43 2015
Dewey Decimal Classification 780.92
ABOUT THIS BOOK | AUTHOR BIOGRAPHY | REVIEWS | TOC
Composer Johanna Beyer's fascinating body of music and enigmatic life story constitute an important chapter in American music history. As a hard-working German émigré piano teacher and accompanist living in and around New York City during the New Deal era, she composed plentiful music for piano, percussion ensemble, chamber groups, choir, band, and orchestra. A one-time student of Ruth Crawford, Charles Seeger, and Henry Cowell, Beyer was an ultramodernist, and an active member of a community that included now-better-known composers and musicians. Only one of her works was published and only one recorded during her lifetime. But contemporary musicians who play Beyer's compositions are intrigued by her originality.
Amy C. Beal chronicles Beyer's life from her early participation in New York's contemporary music scene through her performances at the Federal Music Project's Composers' Forum-Laboratory concerts to her unfortunate early death in 1944. This book is a portrait of a passionate and creative woman underestimated by her music community even as she tirelessly applied her gifts with compositional rigor.
The first book-length study of the composer's life and music, Johanna Beyer reclaims a uniquely innovative artist and body of work for a new generation.
Amy C. Beal is a professor of music at the University of California, Santa Cruz, and the author of Carla Bley and New Music, New Allies: American Experimental Music in West Germany from the Zero Hour to Reunification.
"Beyer was a surprising question mark that demanded an answer. A lovely book."--Kyle Gann, author of Robert Ashley
"In this much needed study Amy C. Beal, a professor at the University of California, seeks to redress. . . erasure while acknowledging the difficulties of trying to shed new light upon 'the enduring mystery of this prolific yet elusive composer.'"--The Wire
"A wonderful introduction to the work of a sadly forgotten composer."--Soundbytes

Q: Java - Getting the value of a method inside of a class I am trying to get the value of a method that is inside a class into the main class.
The code is supposed to let me give the variables 'a', 's' and 'u' each a value by using the console and afterwards return the values to the main class.
import java.util.*;
public class Auslesen
{

    String a;
    private int s;
    double u;

    public class Scannen
    {
        Scanner scanner = new Scanner(System.in);

        public int Methode()
        {
            s = scanner.nextInt();
            return s;
        }
    }
}

and here is my main class:
public class Start
{
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {

        Auslesen auslesen = new Auslesen();
        //System.out.println(auslesen);

        Auslesen.Scannen scannen = auslesen.new Scannen();
        //System.out.println(scannen);

        Auslesen.Scannen.Methode methode = scannen.new Methode();
        System.out.println(methode);
        //my approach which didnt worked out...

    }
}

A: Methode is a method not a class. You don't create it with new or create it at all for that matter. A method is defined in a class and you just call it. E.g.
System.out.println(scannen.Methode());

and delete this line :
Auslesen.Scannen.Methode methode = scannen.new Methode();

Also try to stick to the Java naming convention : class names start with uppercase method and variable names with lowercase.

A: First of all why are you declaring a class inside another class ? If you simply want to return a value from one class to another class then you can do something like this -
String a;
private int s;
double u;
Scanner scanner = new Scanner(System.in);

    public int Methode()
    {
        s = scanner.nextInt();
        return s;
    }

now in the main method just call the method -
Auslesen a=new Auslesen();
System.out.println("The entered number is: "+a.Methode());


I've serviced these units and the cdroms drives were always a problem. The problem on the cdrom is that the actuator switch in the drive itself doesn't allow the drive to spin up all the way to read the disk. The common way to diagnose this problem is push the cdrom drive in and hold it in with a cd is the drive, if it spins up, and works while you are pushing it in, it's the actuator. the fix for this problem is to replace the cdrom drive.
Could be a faulty drive, but check first that it's not a driver fault. Go to my computer, right click>properties>hardware>device manager. Look down the list for your cd/dvd drive, right click and delete. Restart pc and let windows find it again nd see if the fault is corrected. If not it could be a drive or ide cable fault.
This folder is the DVD/CD-ROM Drive Class Description in the registry. Look for any of the following names in the right hand column.
Open My Computer and check to see if your CD or DVD drives have returned. You may also want to open Device Manager and verify that the yellow exclamation and error code on the CD or DVD drive is gone.
Hi in front of the CD-ROM drive there should be a small pin size hole. Stick a pin in there to release the CD-ROM lock and it should open.
CD/DVD drive still in use?
Cdrom has a small pinhole that you can insert a paper clip pin to push open the tray mechanically.
How do i download music from cd onto my htc wildfire?
Most probably the CD does not have the autoun function or the autorun is no functioning. If you need to install the software, open the Windows Explorer and click on the drive for the CD and on the Explorer right side plane double click the "setup" installer and the installation should run.
This is an indication of mechanical failure of some part of the ejection mechanism. Since they are more expensive to fix than the drive is worth, replacement is your best option.
In addition, since the CD remains spun up and the activity light doesn't go out, there's probably something else wrong with the drive in addition to the failed ejection component.
Assuming you've used the 'eject' function in the software already.
Generic answer: Look for pin-hole size hole on front or back of CD drive (may have to open PC case to get at it) and push into it with the end of an unwound paperclip. Meant to release the disk. Hope this works for your drive.
Portable Hard drive. first time used. Green light is steady, attempts to remove say can interupt at this time.
You need to close anything that has files open from the hard drive. Even having a Windows Explorer window or "My Computer" window open will cause the drive to be in use. Close these and you should be able to use the "Safely Remove Hardware" icon in the system tray.

7 Business Model Innovation Myths
So you are new to business model innovation? You are not the only one. An entire generation of managers has been trained to think in terms of Porter's Five Forces. At face value there is nothing wrong with this. The core idea of this approach was to analyse industries in great depth so as to position an enterprise optimally against its competitors and thus gain a competitive advantage. However as we have discussed in previous blogs – Competitive Advantage the Holy Grail and The new age of Innovation – this type of competitive advantage can be temporary and very difficult to achieve. The mantra of the business model innovator is:
The only way to create a new business model is to stop looking at what your competitors are doing. IKEA revolutionised the furniture industry with its cheap, yet stylish designs and a new way of selling them. Radiohead caused a stir when it allowed its fans to purchase their album for whatever price they chose. This daring strategy greatly contributed to the bands fame, both increasing ticket sales and enticing fans to buy the band's back catalogue.
Overall, business model innovation is still a mythical task that scares a lot of managers. The following 7 myths about business model innovation continue to be pervasive among managers and business owners:
1. The initial ascent myth
"Commercial success comes with ideas no one has had before." The fact is that new business models frequently borrow from other industries. For example, Charles Merrill purposely applied concepts used in supermarkets to the banking industry when he founded Merrill Lynch.
2. The "think big" myth
"Business model innovations are always radical and new to the world." Most people associate new business models with the giant leaps taken by internet companies. The fact is that business model innovation can be incremental. Netflix initially innovated by distributing DVDs to customers through the mail. The internet opened up new avenues for Netflix that allowed the company to stream online.
3. The technology myth
"Every business model innovation is based on a fascinating new technology that inspires new products". The fact is that while new technologies can indeed drive new business models, they are often generic in nature. Where creativity comes in is in applying them to revolutionise a business. It is the business application and the specific use of technology which makes the difference. The truly revolutionary act is that of uncovering the economic potential of a new technology.
4. The luck myth
"Business model innovation is just a matter of luck and cannot be undertaken systematically". But the fact is that you will have to put in as much hard work into creating new business models as into new products, technology or processes. Business model innovation requires persistence and drive. You must plan and prepare for it as you would for an expedition into an unknown land.
5. The Einstein myth
"Only creative geniuses can come up with truly innovative ideas". Today, success depends less and less on individual masterminds. Interdisciplinary teams that reach across organisations have replaced ivory tower inventors like Edison of the past. Innovation is no longer a matter of individual performance – it is very much a team sport.
6. The size myth
"big breakthrough requires big resources" Fact: small start ups are responsible for the most important business model innovations. Just look at the most clicked on websites in the work and the companies behind them: the top three sites are owned by firms that were all outsiders to the industry. Google was founded by Larry Page and Sergey Brin, Facebook by Mark Zuckerberg and You Tube by Chad Hurley. The highest ranked "old economy" company is BBC Online, coming in at number 40 of the most clicked on websites. The right idea and a healthy dose of courage are much more important that huge investment and considerable resources.
7. The R&D myth
"R&D departments are the source of important innovations". The fact is that business model innovation is interdisciplinary in nature. The impetus for change can come from anywhere in the organisation.
Inspiring and driving innovation in a business separates administrators from inspiring leaders. These leaders need an entrepreneurial mind set and the capabilities to innovate.

Trichoderma (teleomorph Hypocrea) is a fungal genus found in many ecosystems. Trichoderma spp. can reduce the severity of plant diseases by inhibiting plant pathogens in the soil through their highly potent antagonistic and mycoparasitic activity. Moreover, as revealed by research in recent decades, some Trichoderma strains can interact directly with roots, increasing plant growth potential, resistance to disease and tolerance to abiotic stresses. This mini-review summarizes the main findings concerning the Trichoderma–plant interaction, the molecular dialogue between the two organisms, and the dramatic changes induced by the beneficial fungus in the plant. Efforts to enhance plant resistance and tolerance to a broad range of stresses by expressing Trichoderma genes in the plant genome are also addressed.
Introduction The need for increasing agricultural productivity and quality has led to an excessive use of chemical fertilizers, creating serious environmental pollution. The use of biofertilizers and biopesticides is an alternative for sustaining high production with low ecological impact. Different soil-borne bacteria and fungi are able to colonize plant roots and may have beneficial effects on the plant. Besides the classic mycorrhizal fungi and Rhizobium bacteria, other plant-growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) and fungi such as Trichoderma spp. and Piriformospora indica can stimulate plant growth by suppressing plant diseases (Van Wees et al., 2008). These micro-organisms can form endophytic associations and interact with other microbes in the rhizosphere, thereby influencing disease protection, plant growth and yield. The plant–microbe association involves molecular recognition between the two partners through a signalling network mediated by the plant hormones salicylic acid (SA), jasmonic acid (JA) and ethylene (ET). JA and ET have been described as signal transduction molecules for induced systemic resistance (ISR) due to the effect of beneficial microbes, and the signal transduction pathway through SA accumulation is found in the systemic acquired resistance (SAR) induced by attack by pathogens. A common feature of ISR responses to beneficial Abbreviations: ACC, 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid; ACCD, ACC deaminase; ET, ethylene; IAA, indole-3-acetic acid; ISR, induced systemic resistance; JA, jasmonic acid; MAMP, microbe-associated molecular pattern; PGPR, plant-growth-promoting rhizobacteria; ROS, reactive oxygen species; SA, salicylic acid; SAR, systemic acquired resistance; SSCP, small secreted cysteine-rich protein.
plant–Trichoderma dialogue and the beneficial effects of Trichoderma to plants. In this short review we shall try to summarize the main findings on the direct Trichoderma–plant interaction (Fig. 1) and the efforts undertaken to enhance plant resistance and tolerance to a broad range of stresses by expressing Trichoderma genes in the plant genome. Trichoderma spp. can colonize root intercellular spaces Trichoderma strains are found in many root ecosystems. Similarly to the situation with mycorrhizae, the highly hydrated polysaccharides of the root-secreted mucigel layer and the mono- and disaccharides excreted by plant roots into the rhizosphere encourage growth of the fungi. It has been observed that plant-derived sucrose is an important resource provided to Trichoderma cells to facilitate root colonization, the coordination of defence mechanisms, and increased rate of leaf photosynthesis (Vargas et al., 2009). Solute transporters such as a di/tripeptide transporter and a permease/intracellular invertase system involved in the acquisition of root exudates have been described in Trichoderma (Vizcaı´no et al., 2006; Vargas et al., 2009).
Fig. 2. Trichoderma–plant cross-talk model. The effects of Trichoderma ACC deaminase (ACCD) and indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) production are indicated by red and blue arrows, respectively. Up and down arrows correspond to increased or decreased levels/responses. ABA, abscisic acid; ACC, 1-aminocyclopropane 1-carboxylic acid; ACCS, ACC synthase; ET, ethylene; ISR, induced systemic resistance; JA, jasmonic acid; SA, salicylic acid; SAR, systemic acquired resistance.
endochitinase gene Tv-ech1 showed significant resistance to A. alternata and R. solani and a rapid and greater induction of ROS, followed by modulation of the expression of several defence-related genes and the induction of the terpenoid pathway (Emani et al., 2003; Kumar et al., 2009); (iii) the expression of the endochitinase chit36 gene of T. harzianum in carrot significantly enhanced tolerance to A. radicina and B. cinerea (Baranski et al., 2008).
osmotic stresses when it was expressed in Arabidopsis (Hermosa et al., 2011), and transgenic tobacco plants expressing a T. virens glutathione transferase to improve their remediation and xenobiotic degradation potential (Dixit et al., 2011).
Co-expression of endo- (ech42) and exo- (nag70) chitinases of T. atroviride in apple has been correlated with increased resistance to V. inaequalis, and a negligible reduction in vigour (Bolar et al., 2001; Faize et al., 2003). In a similar way, the multiple expression of rice transgenes encoding two chitinases (ech42 and nag70) and one b-1,3-glucanase (gluc78) of T. atroviride resulted in resistance to R. solani and Magnaporthe grisea in rice (Liu et al., 2004). The generation of innate defence responses and enhanced salt stress tolerance was observed in tobacco plants overexpressing the T. harzianum chit33 and chit42 chitinase genes (Dana et al., 2006), again opening the possibility that chitinases might act on endogenous plant fungi by releasing chitooligosaccharides as general inducers of defence responses.
Trichoderma genomes have revealed mycotrophy and mycoparasitism as ancestral lifestyles of species of this genus. Some Trichoderma strains have become established in the plant rhizosphere and evolved as intercellular root colonizers. As a result, they stimulate plant growth and defences against pathogens. Like other beneficial microbes, Trichoderma elicits ISR by JA/ET-dependent pathways and triggers priming responses in the plant. However, the Trichoderma–plant cross-talk is dynamic and the expression of defence-related genes of the JA/ET and/or SA pathways may overlap, depending on the Trichoderma strains and the concentrations used, the plant material, the developmental stage of the plant, and the timing of the interaction. Trichoderma also produces the phytohormones ET and IAA, which play roles in interconnecting plant development and defence responses. The expression of Trichoderma genes in plants has beneficial results, mainly in the control of plant diseases and resistance to adverse environmental conditions. The experimental evidence reviewed here indicates that Trichoderma–plant interactions have features in common with other beneficial microbe associations but that they also display their own characteristics due to Trichoderma's particular lifestyle. Nevertheless, there is a need for more studies aimed at gaining insight into the signalling transduction pathways, related to defence and development, resulting from Trichoderma–plant interactions in the presence of pathogens and/or different types of abiotic stress.

Flavonoids, a subclass of polyphenols, are a group of phytochemicals that are among the most potent and abundant antioxidants in our diet. The flavonoids are further divided into subclasses based on slightly different chemical structures. Although more than 4000 flavonoids have been identified, several appear to be important components of many fruits and vegetables. These flavonoids are listed below after the subclass under which they fall.
Check out the USDA database at www.nal.usda.gov/fnic/foodcomp/ to find out the amounts of various flavonoids in select foods and beverages.


Karen A. Grosik, 55, Palestine Road, South Fork, went to heaven to be a shining star and guardian angel on July 24, 2005. "I was one of a kind, a miracle and a fighter."

Sanitas and backing to open space, this gem features custom cabinetry, honed marble counters, natural finishes, wood and stone flooring, and unparalled views. With ~4,600 sqft, this 4BD, 4BA home is luxurious and spacious. History: The property was originally listed in May of 2005 at $2.5MM and underwent three price reductions before selling earlier this month for $2.2MM, a $300K discount (8%).
2816 9th Street was built in 2004. This 4BD, 5BA ~3,500 sqft property boasts a modernist design, top of the line materials, radiant state of the art heating and cooling systems, fantastic views, and a separate studio. History: The home was listed in May, 2005 at $1.35MM. This past September, the price was increased to $1.5MM. The day after Christmas, the property went under contract (a nice present, indeed) and on February 3rd, 2006 was sold for $1.3MM, a $50K reduction (3.7%) from original list price.


Ashwagandha root, with the Latin name of Withania somnifera, is a five foot tall deep-green leafed shrub that is in the solanaceae family. This plant family includes such well-known vegetables as tomatoes, potatoes and eggplant, along with flowers like petunias. Ashwagandha root has clusters of yellow flowers and produces red fruit the size of a berry. The roots can reach eight to twelve inches long, and this is the part of the plant that is primarily used as organic herbs.

Q: Получение псевдонима указателя с неаллоцированной памятью Пишу простенькую реализацию бинарного дерева. Имею код:
void makeBinaryTree(BinaryTree *node, int numOfVertices) {
    while (0 < numOfVertices--) {
        auto accessoryPtr = node;
        while (nullptr == accessoryPtr) {
            if (static_cast<double>(rand()) / RAND_MAX < 0.5) {
                accessoryPtr = accessoryPtr->left;//Тут
            } else {
                accessoryPtr = accessoryPtr->right;//и тут
            }
        }
        accessoryPtr = new BinaryTree;
        std::cout << "Enter value ";
        std::cin >> accessoryPtr->data;
    }
}

тут я циклично случайным образом выбираю, в какое место будет вставлена следующая вершина. Когда я нахожу вершину, у которой было выбрано пустое поддерево, равное nullptr (при создании вершины я сразу инициализирую его поддеревья nullptr) я хочу получить его псевдоним, выйти из цикла и выделить под него память.
В данном коде я лишь беру указатель, соответственно, после выделения памяти под accessoryPtr, он будет указывать в какое то другое место памяти, и на node это никак не повлияет.
Как вариант, можно было бы написать функцию:
void makeNodeOfBinaryTree(BinaryTree *&node) {
    node = new BinaryTree;
    std::cout << "Enter value ";
    std::cin >> node->data;
}

и, тогда, ветка, в которой я хотел получить псевдоним указателя будет выглядеть так:
if (accessoryPtr->left == nullptr) {
    makeNodeOfBinaryTree(accessoryPtr->left);
    break;
}
accessoryPtr = accessoryPtr->left;

однако дальше по коду я вновь встречаюсь с подобной проблемой и там такое решение уже не подойдёт. В идеале, конечно, переписать всё нормально, но уже просто интересно разобраться, есть ли возможность получения требуемого мне псевдонима?

A: По-моему тут просто не хватает еще одного уровня перенаправления.
assert(nullptr != p_node);
auto pp_node{::std::addressof(p_node));
do
{
    if(0 == (static_cast<unsigned int>(rand()) bitand 1u))
    {
        pp_node = ::std::addressof((**pp_node).left);
    }
    else
    {
        pp_node = ::std::addressof((**pp_node).right);
    }
} while(nullptr != (*pp_node));
(*pp_node) = new BinaryTree;

Ну и еще условие while (nullptr == accessoryPtr) не может быть правильным так как если accessoryPtr не ноль, то цикл не будет выполнятся, а если ноль - то внутри цикла он будет разыменован.

Over the past year, a host of formidable new competitors have challenged Netflix in the streaming wars—from Disney+ to NBC's Peacock to Apple TV+ to HBO Max. But the company was prepared, having made big investments in original programming and its deep content library. It's a strategy that's proved especially prescient during the pandemic, with Netflix set to emerge a winner. The company added 28 million subscribers in the first nine months of 2020—more than it gained for all of 2019—and is on track to hit a new annual record. The share price has also been hitting new highs, with the stock -returning 60% over the past 12 months.

Police release video of masked gunman
Chicago police released surveillance video of a masked man they say is the chief suspect in at least two shootings. CNN's Scott McLean reports.

Residents of a neighborhood on Chicago's North Side are living in fear, hoping that $18,000 in reward money can help solve two brazen killings on their normally safe streets.
Investigators believe the same man is behind both slayings -- the victims were killed by the same gun and in the same manner -- and that the suspect lives in the Rogers Park neighborhood or somewhere nearby.
"Both shootings came from the same gun and likely the same suspect," Chicago Police Superintendent Eddie Johnson said. "There is nothing on our end right now that points to these two people actually knowing each other."
Funeral home at epicenter of city's violence
Douglas Watts, 73, was walking his dogs September 30 when a gunman shot him in the head, police said. It was about 10 a.m.
Ladi Ogunnunbi was headed to church shortly before Watts was killed and saw the suspect walking away from him. Ogunnubi had forgotten something and went back to his apartment, he said.
"I ran back in to go get that, and when I come back out, within a minute or two, I started to see cops and a bit of chaos," he said. "It could've been me."
Video shows the alleged assailant, clad in dark clothing with his face obscured, jogging down an alley with his hands stuffed in his jacket pockets. The footage of the man reveals little, aside from his curious gait. Authorities noted that the suspect walks with his feet pointed outward.
Witnesses described the suspect as a black man with a slight build, Chicago police said.
The next night, about a half-mile away from where Watts was killed, 24-year-old Eliyahu Moscowitz was on a walking path in Loyola Park when he, too, was shot in the head, police said. Witnesses who heard the gunfire rushed to the scene and found Moscowitz face down on the path.
Teen who took on Chicago violence killed
Neither man's wallets or cell phones were taken. Some residents worry that because Watts was gay and Moscowitz was Jewish that the killings could be hate crimes.
Though Chicago is known for its gun violence, Rogers Park is not typically where it unfolds.
Its tree-lined streets are situated along Lake Michigan and are home to a large orthodox Jewish community and Loyola University Chicago students. The neighborhood is known for heavy foot traffic, especially on Saturdays, when Jews honor the sabbath.
The shootings have left residents on edge. Cleveland Hughes took time out of a run to speak to CNN and said he was trying to finish up his exercise routine as quickly as possible.
"If you guys saw me out here running, I'm trying to get it in -- in and out, fast as I can," he said.
Virginia Strain, who lives near Loyola Park, told CNN affiliate WLS the lack of answers thus far makes the killings more frightening.
"It's terrifying that there is no obvious explanation for these," she told the station. "That there is no obvious target. You can't take any action. There's no group that we can protect and there's no particular way that we can protect ourselves."
Alderman Joe Moore, who represents Rogers Park, told residents in a letter last week that detectives have been working nonstop to find the killer. They're knocking on doors and reviewing surveillance footage from the area, as well as from commuter trains and buses, he wrote.
Tactical officers from the city's gang and drug units have been brought in, and the FBI and Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives are assisting in the probe.
"We stroll down our streets and enjoy our beautiful lakefront," Moore wrote. "We bike and walk our dogs and spend time conversing with and getting to know our neighbors. In many ways, we are a small town in the big city. We cannot let one disturbed and deranged individual take this away from us."
The Jewish United Fund has contributed $10,000 toward the reward for information leading to the arrest, and the ATF is putting up $5,000. Another $3,000 has been offered by a community activist and Cook County Crime Stoppers.
