Risk detention with some of the best homework deterrents on the market.
It's that time again, with the final day of August comes the last ounce of freedom for under 18s everywhere as schools open their doors and start dragging kids in by the ear again. Indie games seem to have a troubled relationship with education, with many of our top picks for the best back to school titles this month settling in the horror genre. Nevertheless, if it's a game based on a school, it counts as homework so tap away!
Mousechief's interesting take on schoolgirl hijinks in their board game-inspired RPG Dangerous High School Girls in Trouble is woefully underappreciated. Exploring a small 1920s town with your gang of girls your goal is to misbehave as much as possible and maybe find the town's dark secrets.
The gameplay is divided up into a diverse range of wacky mini-games played out through a board game style UI with a cast of character cards filled with playful satire. In a system similar to that of Monkey Island's insult based fights you'll face-off against the increasingly more powerful faculty and townsfolk as you strive to uncover the truth. It's all quite tongue and cheek with a keen sense of humour. So, if you like mischief and flirting mini-games then this might serve as a welcome distraction.
From Devespresso Games comes The Coma: Cutting Class, a survival horror corridor scroller initially released in 2015. Best played with headphones, protagonist Youngho's escape from a psychotic killer through the darkened hallways of his school is devastatingly terrifying. Outpacing your mystery stalker proves increasingly difficult the further into the school you venture, and with shadows playing tricks across every locker and abandoned textbook, any unopened door presents a threat. School at night is terrifying enough, add in a demonic presence and you've got yourself a scare game.
With an atmosphere that could kill a man and an intriguing mystery to back it up, The Coma: Cutting Class is guaranteed to top any nightmare in which you turn up to an exam naked.
Horror fiction can be terrifying, but arguably there's nothing scarier than the real horrors of our human history. Detention is far from biographical, yet this psychological school thriller is rooted in the genuine terrors of the White Terror of 1960s Taiwan, a dark time under Chinese dictatorial rule.
Every child wants to escape their school at one time or another, but Wei Chung Ting and Fang Ray Shin have a particularly good reason to do so – it's been seemingly deserted by every living human except themselves, and flooded with monsters and ghosts. Their environment around them twists and warps into different scenes, many harkening back to the cruelly detained and executed victims of The White Terror.
Christine Love takes us through the social networks in 2027 to tell us a story of seven high school students and one teacher who can read everything they post. A visual novel, Don't Take It Personally, Babe gives the player a ride, rather than seating them at the driver's seat. As hitchhikers on this teacher's revelations we can take charge of key moments and certain decisions, but generally, the hour it takes to play through this experience is spent being tricked into your own agency.
Nevertheless, Love's title provides an opinionated discussion surrounding the future of digital privacy and relationships in a beautifully decorated setting.
In many ways school is like playing a survival horror, so why not prepare yourself by playing White Day: A Labyrinth Named School by SONNORI Corp. If you're a fan of classic Korean horror films and survival games such as the Resident Evil series then this will be right up your hallway.
Trapped in his new school overnight, student Hee-Min Lee must brave the night whilst at the mercy of a killer janitor. It's a stealth based affair with plenty of puzzles to solve as combat takes a back seat – you have no weapons. Originally released in 2001 and remade in 2015 the notorious Korean horror game has a legacy as long as detention. If you're looking for something scary to get you in the mood for Halloween this might just be your sort of homework.
At first look, Kindergarten's pixel graphics and cutesy art style could suggest a relaxing management sim where adorable toddlers run circles around your mouse and milk rations are a top priority. What actually goes down in SmashGames' puzzle adventure is bizarrely, and hilariously, violent. Death and mystery overshadow any semblance of learning at this ill-fated institution, where the janitor is regularly seen lugging strange bags of blood through the school halls and there's a real fear of being clubbed to death.
Once one of your friends goes missing, it's your job to go beyond playtime and seek the truth regarding this unique place of learning.
Schools are kind of like prisons, well, more so than usual in Academia: School Simulator due to its striking resemblance to Prison Architect. That might be in part because developer Squeaky Wheel's co-founder, Ryan Sumo was the artist on the authoritarian incarceration sim.
Much like most sim games, you have complete control over the construction of all facilities and the exciting job of managing the finances. So, if you ever felt your school could have been a lot better, then this is your opportunity to create the paradise you always dreamed of. Well motivated teachers, exciting and creative classes with a cafeteria menu that would make Jamie Oliver weep. Or, you could always take a more disciplined approach and take what you've learnt in Prison Simulator to create a detention camp. The choice is yours.
Whether you're tip-toeing through your school corridors or dodging detention, these back to school indie games are sure to get you in the spirit of education! If you're looking for something to take your mind off school for a bit, check out our Top 7 Most Anticipated Indie Games of September!

Don Diablo takes fans, 'Into The Unknown' with new release
World-renowned DJ/producer Don Diablo releases a brand-new single, "Into The Unknown," which is currently available to stream/download via his own imprint, Hexagon.
With lyrics that are both deeply emotional and poignant, "Into The Unknown" ventures in to Don Diablo's emotional state in the midst of the global pandemic. The artist's haunting vocals resonate with distortion adding elements of mystery and suspense, which pair perfectly with the artist's trademark sound that fans have embraced worldwide.
Don Diablo – Into The Unknown
Known to accompany his sonic offerings with remarkable video treatments, Don Diablo's "Into The Unknown" music video further emphasizes the track's ominous soundscape. Shot in Amsterdam, the video shows a side to the artist that fans have never seen before as it pans from a hotel room to a club and uses mirrors to indicate the artist's contemplative state of mind.
"I wrote and produced 'Into The Unknown' after spending countless days alone inside my house, without seeing any daylight, going outside, or seeing anyone. Growing up I spent most of my days alone. Inside. Creating sounds. Just me and my music. Not knowing what the future would hold. I have been making and releasing music from the age of thirteen and it will always be the biggest love of my life. This past year brought me back to that period in my life, a period of solitude as well as inner peace, away from all the chaos. Being on my own so much reminded me that I have always been living inside my own head, my own reality, my own zone. Not knowing what your next destination can be scary but it can also make way for new things, it can clear your mind. Creating new things and stepping outside of my comfort zone as a direct result of this pandemic has given me a sense of inner peace. Not knowing what the future will hold is okay, sometimes we have to embrace the unknown."
Dutch DJ/producer Don Diablo has been using creative means to express himself through music, art, or fashion since the start of his career. He has been coined with the term "the founding father of the future house genre" due to a trademark sound that is encapsulated in his own records and transcends into his lauded imprint Hexagon. The artist boasts a diverse discography that spans every genre in the music spectrum with hit releases that include the recent, "Kill Me Better" and "Mr. Brightside." Voted in the 2020 DJ Mag Top 100 poll at the number six position, the artist has become one of the most desirable talents in dance music performing on the mainstages of Tomorrowland, EDC, Creamfields, Mysteryland, Lollapalooza, and Ultra Music Festival.

View Full Version : Best place to mount a proportioning valve.
I have just swapped a GSL rear end into my car. I have also swapped the larger master cylinder and its proportioning block. Bled everything and went for a test drive. The rear brakes lock up before the fronts, which are new. So, I picked up a Wilwood proportioning valve and I am looking for the best place to mount it. It looks like it would really easy to install it between the master cylinder and the stock proportioning block – will that work? Will it mess things up? Where do you suggest that I mount the new proportioning valve?
I installed mine between the stock prop/metering block and the line to the rear axle. I would suggest that you install it somewhere in the car where you can reach it while belted in. Also mount it and all lines where they are not the highest point in the system. If you can't mount it where you can see it, put a reference somewhere in sight as which way to turn it.
Maybe it is not AS important to mount it where you can reach it. However fine tuning it from the driver's seat is the best way. Benifit also if you ever road race the car.
I installed mine in the interior on the transmission tunnel where I could easily reach it. It is the Wilwood dial-type valve installed on the single line going to the rear axle.
I routed the line through the interior on the transmission tunnel. Be sure to leave space between the line and the tunnel - the tunnel gets hot due to the exhaust. Make sure you use the right diameter line and fittings - the Wilwood valve uses American threads and vs. metric on the stock line.
If your mounting the lever style on the tunnel, make sure its out of the way of your shifting motion.
I accidently loosened the top on my prop valve last year at M-O at the end of the back straight. Its no fun finding out you have no brakes at that point. Ended up putting the car on the roof in China Beach.
If you have removed the E-Brake lever completely, this is a good spot for it. Remove the stock proportioning valve @ the master, and run the rear line up against the tunnel. All that is needed is to drill a hole in the front of the E-Brake area to allow the line to enter. Once it is secured, the prop valve doesn't even need to be bolted down. Brake line in, prop valve, and brake line out.
Thank you all for your responses. I think that I will mount it through the tunnel, so that it is within reach. You have been very helpful.

You Can Sit With Us spreads kindness
Published on November 28, 2018 December 3, 2018 by Stephan Reilly
You Can Sit With Us held events across campus this month to raise awareness about bullying on campus and in the workplace in honour of anti-bullying week.
The Kindness Project was one of three events held. Students passing through RCW on Monday, November 12 were prompted to write a compliment or uplifting message on a sticky note and leave it on one half of the chalkboard labelled "Give What You Can". They could also take a sticky note from the second half of the chalkboard labelled "Take What You Need".
"These compliments are just to boost people's days up and make sure they're happy," said Tom Nguyen, You Can Sit With Us president and third-year social work student.
The second event was a build-your-own cupcake evening in the student centre basement. Students came out and built their own cupcakes to de-stress and take a break from studying.
The event was also a fundraiser for St. Leonard's SNAP program, described on their website as "an evidence-based program for male youth with serious disruptive behaviour problems and criminal justice involvement." SNAP teaches these youth critical strategies for avoiding conflict and skills to make more positive choices in their lives.
The final event was Take A Compliment, where students could come to the RCW lobby, assemble a free self-care package and receive more compliments from other Laurier students. The goal of this event was to provide students with things they could take home to help de-stress during the last few weeks of school when assignments and exams build up, putting many students in stressful and unhealthy situations.
You Can Sit With Us is a Wilfrid Laurier University Students' Union club whose mission, in their own words, is to "bring awareness about the issues and causes of bullying".
"Most people think that bullying stops when you leave high school, but it can follow you into your adult life through the workplace," said You Can Sit With Us secretary and third-year social work student Skyler Holmes. "To be good people, you can't do that."
According to the Canadian Institutes of Health Research, 7 per cent of adult (18 years or older) internet users in Canada self-reported having been victims of online bullying. According to Statistics Canada 70 per cent of internet bullying victims are females, who receive hateful and threatening messages across various social media platforms as well as through email.
"Bullying has long-lasting effects for so many people of all ages and can severely impact someone's mental health," said Rachel Stultz, You Can Sit With Us vice-president. "University culture is not shy of bullying amongst online and real-life forms of bullying, which is why this group is so important on this campus."
"Seeing people come to the booth and they'll write something and take something of the wall and their spirits are lifted up… that's my favourite thing," said Nguyen. "We can make a difference."
There are no more club meetings this year, but students can attend their bi-weekly Monday meetings next semester in RCW 324.
"We are very accepting if anyone wants to join us," said Nguyen. "We're going to be doing a lot of events throughout the year to raise awareness of bullying and give students more resources."

Graduate theology programs granted accreditation
Last Updated 6 June, 2018
This week, Northwest Nazarene University's (NNU) Graduate School of Theology was granted initial accreditation by the Commission on Accrediting of the Association of Theological Schools (ATS). With more than 500 master's-level theological graduates, NNU's Graduate School of Theology is the first institution in the history of ATS to offer all of its Master of Divinity and Master of Arts programs exclusively online.
"This is a historic event for both ATS and NNU," shared NNU President Joel Pearsall. "Congratulations to the Graduate School of Theology on this achievement. It is a privilege to join the other institutions recognized by this marker of quality and integrity."
After a thorough review of NNU's self-study and artifacts, and a comprehensive site visit report, the ATS Board of Commissioners granted NNU initial accreditation for seven years—the maximum length possible. The Graduate School of Theology now has dual accreditation by ATS and NNU's regional accreditor, the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities. ATS offers the Graduate School of Theology numerous collegial and professional development opportunities with more than 270 seminaries and divinity schools across the U.S. and Canada.
In its report, ATS affirmed NNU's Graduate School of Theology for a number of distinctive strengths, including its visionary and entrepreneurial leadership and a focus on the holistic formation of students: spiritually, pastorally, and contextually.
"NNU has long been an innovator in graduate theological online education," noted Dr. Brent Peterson, Dean of the School of Theology and Christian Ministries. "Since 2002, NNU's online programs have grown out of our global mission to offer high quality theological education to those for whom a residential campus was untenable. We at NNU will continue to seek first God's kingdom and righteousness, and pray we may be faithful stewards of the mission to which we have been called."

Linkin Park team with rappers, Pusha T and British grime standout Stormzy, for "Good Goodbye," a cut of the band's upcoming LP One More Light.
Linkin Park's Mike Shinoda opens the proceedings on the booming, EDM-flavored track with a verse of his own before Chester Bennington swoops in on the chorus.
"Good bye, good riddance/ A period is after every sentence/ Did my time with my cell mate/ Maxed out so now we finished," Pusha T rhymes on his bars. Stormzy closes "Good Goodbye" out with a strong verse where he raps, "Goodbye to the stereotypes/ You can't tell my kings we can't/ Mandem we're linking tings in parks/ Now I got a tune with Linkin Park."
Linkin Park will release One More Light, the band's first album since 2014's The Hunting Party, on May 19th. Fans who preorder the LP now receive an instant download of "Good Goodbye." The group also recently dropped the video for the album's first single "Heavy."

Review of War Dogs
Rating: R, Time: xx min, Director: Todd Phillips, Cast on IMDb
So what's your take on the Scarface poster?
Well, the main character loves Scarface, so I guess its appropiate. Of course if you think there should be massive killing involved then it feels a bit hollow. Also having a heavy set character being a badass somehow doesn't ring true and the real Efraim is trim. To be threatening like Scarface you have to be trim and mean. He's just beligerent verbally and a bit crazy.
How well does the movie flow?
It has a classic from rags to riches and back to rags story. The only catch is since they did many legal or semi-legal deals with the government they get to keep their penthouse condos in Miami. Which is nice for the characters. Has a real parallel to scarface in that they get matching houses next to each other. Of course, in Scarface the main lead Al Pacino gets the really massive house since he has the major cut, which makes a lot more sense. In this movie, the boss likely would have gotten an even cooler condo, but who knows. It is funny that the side kick gets his start as a massage therapist and then has to go back to it in the end.
What are the parallels to the true story?
This is too classic, but Efraim is actually suing Bradley Cooper and the director Phillips over the film. I guess they did a copy of the story even though Efraim already had written a story called "Once a gunrunner". This is kind of hilarious as Bradley plays a minor part in the film as the major illegal gun runner that short changes Afraim in the film on an Albanian gun deal that ultimately unravels their whole gun running business. Now if Cooper really didn't get the rights to the original story from the real Afraim, he may be facing a major copyright issue. Its the rich taking advantage of the poor allo over again.
In reality Efraim made a $300 million deal running guns by his early 20s before his arrest for the Afgan deal. They did smoke a lot of pot as well. There likely was even more drug use than in the story. Also all the AK-47 ammunition from China is still in use by Afgan police force. The reason they had to be arrested is that the US government under Bush didn't care where the ammunition came from, but once the story broke that they were buying illegal guns with China (we have a weapons trade embargo against China) they administration needed a fall guy for the story, hence the gun runner went to jail.
Why the title War Dogs?
I think it was Cooper's way around the original title of "Once a gunrunner" which is a bit obvious. War dogs originally references real dogs used during wars to help soldiers as scouts and sentries. Dogs in warfare date all the way back to Egyptians. In Rome they actually bred dogs for battle, but the first use trails back to 600 BC by Cimmerians. Later on dogs were traded by royal families as gifts, which led to today's modern dog shows and breeding.
Do you recommend the movie?
Yes, its a classic comedy I think. Not as funny as say the Hangover, but has good potential. I think the love story with the 2nd partner adds a bit of balance from the craziness of Efraim, but in reality they both would have been partying like crazy. I was looking forward to it, since I heard about it.
Do you have any artwork related to the film?
Like Efraim, I love Scarface the movie. I created a painting based on the movie with a deeper dive into the craziest drug dealers like Pablo Escobar that makes the real-life Scarface look like nothing in comparison. Pablo started as a common drug dealer and took over his countries entire supply of cocaine and tried to assassinate the President of Columbia and fight against the Supreme Court, Army and President all at the same time.

Salvatore Sciarrino is no stranger to the Staatsoper. Five of his music theatre works were performed between 2010 and 2016 in the Schiller Theater. His new work has all the features of his distinctive style: crystal-clear, fragile yet urgent music. In addition, he has produced a highly artificial, nuanced text treatment with references to past chapters of music history, now set in a contemporary context.
The subtitle of »Ti vedo, ti sento, mi perdo« (»To see you, to feel you, to lose me«) is »Waiting for Stradella«. This alludes to the fate of Alessandro Stradella, a highly prominent Italian composer during his time, who died in mysterious circumstances in 1682 – the victim of a violent crime.
The work is set in the home of the aristocratic family Colonna in baroque Rome, where a singer, a writer, a musician, a choir and an instrumental ensemble are on stage awaiting the arrival of the composer.. But instead of the promised new aria, they receive news of Stradella's death. In the lead-up, the music and life of this controversial, original artist – a legend during his lifetime – are extensively reported and reflected upon. Different perspectives and values play a role, as do thoughts on human nature, the body, the senses and passion – in other words, the very essence of opera as an art form.
Accompanying »Ti vedo, ti sento, mi perdo«, the Staatsoper presents the exhibition »Salvatore Sciarrino – Sign and Sound« in the Apollosaal, in collaboration with Bertelsmann / Archivio Storico Ricordi, Milan. It includes various sketches, diagrams, and personal documents and consequently allows an insight into Sciarrino's way of working. The exhibition is accessible from June 30 until July 15, 2018 during all performances at the Opera House.
Rome, during the age of the High Baroque: in a hall of a grand palazzo, a performance is in preparation. A stage is built; the musicians, including a singer, several chorus members and instrumentalists, rehearse the cantata that is to be performed on this occasion. It deals with the emergence and essence of music: the myth of Orpheus. At first, it depicts the passing of the island of the Sirens, when Orpheus is able to lead his fellow travelers past the song of the man-murdering sirens by drowning them out with his powerful voice.
The writer and the musician listen impatiently to the rehearsal. They are waiting for the famous composer Alessandro Stradella, who leads a life riddled with scandal, the "new Orpheus" who promised a new aria as the highlight of the performance. While the musician is skeptical of Stradella's eccentric innovations, the writer in contrast sees them as nothing less than the search for truth, as in the paintings of Caravaggio. The singer also reveals herself to be a Stradella aficionado and provides several samples of his music.
In the meantime, the servants of the house, Solfetto, Finocchio, Minchiello, and the maids Pasquozza and Chiappina, make fun of the Prince and Princess, the master of the house and his wife, and their guests, mocking their "highnesses" and their strange behavior and exchange the latest gossip. All the while, the rehearsal is continued. The musician and the writer come to speak of Stradella's excessive private life: numerous passionate affairs, including with some of the noblest ladies of Roman society, are rumored to regularly cause him difficulties.
Years later, the rehearsal still continues without Stradella having appeared. Solfetto and Finocchio wait with the news that the composer has fled the city with his latest flame, a countess, but her husband is in hot pursuit. Unimpressed by this, the rehearsal continues.
Other rumors then begin to circulate: Stradella is supposed to have been attacked by pursuers in Turin, but, to everybody's relief, survived the attack and then sought refuge in Genoa—now without his lover. But it seems dubious whether he will be able to complete his composition.
The singer interrupts work on the cantata and turns to several short songs by Stradella, while the servants ask in boredom when the rehearsal will finally be over. Slowly the cantata seems to come to an end, with the description of Orpheus' murder by the furious bacchantes.
In the meantime, the musician and the writer begin to argue over the question of sensuality in art. Their argument is interrupted by the appearance of a young singer who reports that Stradella has been murdered. Together with a violinist, he begins a lament to the great artist.
With this, the rehearsal comes to an abrupt end, the singers and musicians leave the hall. The young singer hands over a sheet of music to the perplexed singer, not saying a word. While leaving, he discusses Stradella's modest legacy with the musician and the writer. The singer, now left alone, decodes the music on the paper: it is the aria she had been waiting for the whole time?

How to retain high-performing employees

A shortage of labour poses an ongoing challenge for the travel industry, along with high turnover. Click. looks at how some hotels are improving their employee retention rates by creating workplace cultures that their employees thrive in
Claire Baranowski
Click. Travel Writer
The hospitality industry is one of the world's biggest employers, but labour shortages are reaching unprecedented levels, according to the Deloitte 2019 Travel and Hospitality Industry Outlook. The leisure and hospitality sector in the U.S. saw more than a million job openings in 2018, up from just over 350,000 in 2009, and countries around the world are facing similar challenges.
While advances in technology can go some way towards increasing productivity and efficiency where manpower may be dwindling, there's still room for improvement when it comes to retention rates, currently at 30% per year in the UK and 26.2% in the USA. Developing a positive workplace culture is an essential part of addressing the issue.
Improving communication
Average staff turnover at the luxury hotel company Red Carnation runs at just 19% globally. Liz McGivern, Vice President of People and Culture, attributes strong communication between staff and their managers as a key factor.
"We ensure that regular in-person meetings take place between line managers and their team members as this builds respect, rapport and trust. If a staff member feels that their manager genuinely cares about their well-being, it leads to increased loyalty."

A transient workforce and a highly competitive environment demand a strong focus on staff retention, says Andi Hirons, People & Projects Manager at The Grand Brighton in the UK. Since 2014, the company has implemented a people-led approach that has increased retention rates from 42% to 70% for staff for more than one year's service; 26% have more than five years' service.
"One of the challenges of the hospitality business is that most employees aren't desk-based, so communication can be tricky. We've introduced an app that allows for easy communication between employees, managers and our People team as well as with each other, and enables staff to contact us directly outside of office hours."
"Employees want to feel they are progressing in their roles, so we offer training and development at all levels," says McGivern. "We emphasise that there are few other industries that allow you to rise so quickly up the ranks – for example, one of our best-performing general managers started as a linen porter and now runs The Chesterfield Mayfair. There's a job for everyone in hospitality no matter what their skills."
The founder of The Pig hotels, Robin Hutson, started his career as a waiter and is now regarded as one of the UK's most influential hoteliers. Perhaps unsurprisingly, the company places a strong emphasis on investing in its staff. The Pig in the Wall in Southampton has an average staff turnover of 25% a year.
"Our aim is to keep things as interesting as possible for as long as possible," says Steve Rockey, People Director for the group, which relies on a mainly local workforce. "If people are interested in what they're doing, they won't leave. Opening up seven hotels in the last 10 years has allowed our staff the opportunity to work in different departments or locations, including our ski lodge in Courchevel."
The Pig has become known for its innovative apprenticeship programmes. "Our chef academy, for example, doesn't just focus on cooking skills but also using a kitchen garden and sourcing from local suppliers."
The Grand Brighton runs focused development programmes for employees, including academies for management, F&B and guest services. "We're an independent hotel so we have to grow our own talent," says Hirons. "Generally, about 50-60 promotions and internal transfers take place every year out of around 300 employees."
Perks for staff at The Pig include free stays at other locations with a 35% discount on food and beverage. "We've also started adding critical illness and death in service to our benefits," says Rockey. "We've found that as our staff have grown with us and they've started having families, their priorities have changed."
Staff at the Grand Brighton can nominate each other for recognition, says Hirons. "We've found that when our staff are offered a cash reward or an experience in the hotel – for example, an overnight stay, cocktails or high tea – most choose the experience, which shows a real connection to our brand."
As well as a good benefits package, corporate social responsibility is important to employees, says McGivern. "We include two paid days off a year for volunteering. As a company we put a great emphasis on sustainability, and have found that our staff want to contribute ideas and get involved. Our ethical stance is a major draw when it comes to recruitment and gives us a competitive edge."

Ways to Enjoy the Spectacular Beauty of Florida on Your TV
by Editorial TeamPublished 8 April 2020 at 14:26
Visit Florida is encouraging people to turn to their TV to experience the Sunshine State. They want you to watch film and TV shows that feature the beauty Florida has to offer.
In the current predicament, we find ourselves in; it is difficult to think of future holidays and travelling overseas. We can, however, escape the constant news about COVID-19 by travelling abroad via our TVs.
Hundreds of films and TV series have been set and filmed in Florida and Visit Florida is encouraging you to travel to their sunny state watching a few selected titles they have compiled.
Florida is famed for its year-round sunshine and sub-tropical beauty. Here are just a few suggestions of what to watch to transport you to Florida through the small screen, with tips on locations to visit when travel is allowed again.
Tarzan the Ape Man (1932)- Silver Springs State Park, Ocala
Near the city of Ocala is the pristine Silver Springs State Park. Stunning crystal-clear water and tropical plant life, it has been the setting for many films over the years including The Creature from the Black Lagoon, Thunderball and the original Tarzan the Ape Man from 1932. Starring the statuesque Johnny Weissmuller as Tarzan, this beautiful state park doubles as a tropical jungle paradise with crocodiles, hippos and chimpanzees.
African Queen (1951)- Key Largo
Starring Katherine Hepburn and Humphrey Bogart, this classic WWII love story takes us onboard the famous steamboat African Queen as our heroes navigate their way down the perilous Ulanga River. After filming wrapped, the vessel made its way to Key Largo where it was lovingly restored and now takes fans out on the water on a variety of African Queen Cruises. Find more information about these cruises, and a bit more about African Queen's fascinating history here.
Licence to Kill (1989) – Florida Keys
James Bond has had a long and passionate relationship with Florida. He loves the sand, sea, sunshine and, well, let's not mention that. Its beautiful scenery created the ultimate romantic backdrop for films such as Moonraker, Goldfinger and Licence to Kill.
In his 1989 outing, Timothy Dalton's stoic Bond visits the historic Ernest Hemmingway Home and Museum and lands in front of the ornate St Mary's Star of the Sea Catholic Church after a daring parachute jump. Key Largo even doubles up as a fictional Bahama's in the film, when Bond visits the make-believe Barrelhead Bar for a martini. Shaken, not stirred, of course!
Scarface (1982) – Miami
This classic gangster movie shows off the tropical glitz of Miami in the 1980s. You'll see palm trees, bikinis and slick-talking mobsters throughout the film. Recognisable locations include the famous and luxurious Fontainebleau Hotel on Miami Beach and Ocean Drive, where the infamous chainsaw scene takes place.
CSI Miami (2002-2012)- Miami, Everglades National Park and more
Running for ten seasons, CSI Miami is one of the most recognisable and beloved crime dramas of the last 20 years. The show may be set mainly in the dazzling streets of Miami, but also takes time to explore signature Florida locations, such as the sprawling Everglades National Park and more.
Baywatch (2017)- Miami and Deerfield Beach
Based on the hit television series, Baywatch's 2017 edition pits Dwyane' The Rock' Johnson against Zach Efron in a beach buddy comedy full of thrills, spills and professional lifeguarding. Many of the film's beach sequences were filled in the gorgeous Deerfield Beach just north of Miami, which is named for the numerous deer that roam the area.
The above is just a small selection for you to view but as mentioned there are hundreds more, as Florida is as popular with the movie makers as with tourists.
Tourism was responsible for welcoming 124.7 million visitors in 2018. It is the Sunshine State's No. 1 industry.
Visitors to Florida provided $85.9 billion to the state economy, supporting 1.5 million jobs in 2017. According to the Office of Economic and Demographic Research, for every $1 the state invests in VISIT FLORIDA, the official tourism marketing corporation for the State of Florida, $2.15 in tax revenue is created.

Q: Closing and reopening port immediately While programming for sockets I came across a doubt on usage of setsocketopt(). If we provide
setsockopt( socket_no, SOL_SOCKET,SO_REUSEADDR , (char *) &optval, (socklength) sizeof( optval ) );//To reuse addr

Followed by another socket option for the same socket,
setsockopt( socket_no, IPPROTO_IPV6,IPV6_V6ONLY , (char *) &optval, (socklength) sizeof( optval ) );//To use only IPv6

(1)Does setting socket option again, removes the reuse address option which is set already ?
In few situation, there is a need to close and reopen a static port immediately without any delay.
(2)Does closing and reopening a port immediately causes  problem ?
(3)If closing and reopening a port immediately causes problem, can it be avoided using SO_REUSEPORT/SO_REUSEADDR in socket option. As it overcomes time_wait set by TCP protocol. Or is there some alternative to overcome this problem ?

A:
(1)Does setting socket option again, removes the reuse address option which is set already ?

No. Each socket option is independent.

(2)Does closing and reopening a port immediately causes problem ?

No, not unless there was at least one TCP connection to or from that port recently.

(3)If closing and reopening a port immediately causes problem, can it be avoided using SO_REUSEPORT/SO_REUSEADDR in socket option. As it overcomes time_wait set by TCP protocol. Or is there some alternative to overcome this problem ?

It has no effect on time_wait. It just lets you re-open the port immediately. The existing connection is unaffected and continues to timeout normally, it just doesn't prevent you from re-opening the port.


A guy I know walked by me and commented on my odd choice of spots to have lunch, and then, after taking a closer look at my food, decided he wanted the same thing.
He left me to go to the cafe, then came back a minute later and said that they were closed already- so I gave him the rest of mine.
$3bz for 6 empanadas with the spicey onion slaw- SO good.
I had eaten 2 of them and was feeling pretty full, so I gave the rest away to a local guy who said they smelled good.
Last night at the park I bought two hot dogs for a guy who I know to be homeless, and gave all the change in my wallet to Rasta Robin so that he could get some food for himself.
If you're ever hungry in San Pedro, just come find me- its apparently a new hobby of mine to feed people.
Great method to avoid weight gain also !
Paying it forward is always a great thing...especially when it comes to food. I'll be in SP by October 1, permanently. Looking foward to meeting you in person. Hope life is treating you kindly.

Guided Tour Inside the Wreck of HMS Terror
Parks Canada has produced a film of an underwater exploration of HMS Terror, one of the ships in the ill-fated Franklin expedition that departed England in 1845. The second ship, the largest, was the HMS Erebus. The purpose of the expedition was to complete the final section of the Northwest Passage. All 129 members of the two boats were lost and never heard from.
In 2014, the wreck of HMS Erebus was found in 11 meters (~36') of water and in 2016, the wreck of the HMS Terror was found in 24 meters (~79') of water. The Wiki entry on the Franklin expedition summarizes the background of the expedition, including preparations (command, ships, provisions and crew, crew manifest, and Australian connections), losses, early searches, overland searches, contemporary search expeditions, modern expeditions (1981 - 2016), and scientific conclusions.
John Franklin, who led the expedition is known as "The Man Who Ate His Boots," for eating boiled lichens and shoe leather. He was one of a group of explorers known as "Barrow's Boys," after John Barrow, Second Secretary to the Admiralty (1804 - 1844), launched the most ambitious exploration program the world has ever seen. His teams of elite naval officers went on missions to fill the blanks that littered the atlases of the day. Those thirty years are beautifully told in Barrow's Boys: A Stirring Story of Daring, Fortitude, and Outright Lunacy by Fergus Fleming. The subtitle is not hype.
Parks Canada Guided Tour Inside HMS Terror was filmed "Over seven days, under exceptional weather conditions, the interior spaces of the wreck of HMS Terror were scientifically and systematically explored for the first time. Parks Canada's Underwater Archaeology Team conducted seven ROV dives and explored 20 cabins/compartments on the ship, in search of uncovering a better understanding of the fate of the Franklin expedition. The team obtained clear images of over 90 per cent of the lower deck of the ship, which includes the living quarters of the crew."
The film is a remarkable achievement.

Everything should work as expected, there is also another one post on stackowerflow about this question, but the solution from that post also won't work!

The most probable reason your code is not working is because you forgot or didn't link Bulma correctly in the header.

Ongoing incommunicado detention of blogger and human rights defender, Yasir Elsir Ali
About Yasir Elsir Ali
Detained & In Hospital
About the situation
On 9 January 2019, Yasir Elsir Ali's wife was permitted to visit him at Al Amal Security Hospital in Khartoum. She reported that he is in a stable condition. She refused to consent to surgery that would allow the bullet to be removed from his spinal chord. The NISS rejected her request to stay with the human rights defender for as long as he remains in the hospital.
On 5 January 2019, human rights defender Yasir Elsir Ali was taken by the Sudanese National Intelligence and Security Service (NISS) from his residence in the city of Omdurman.
About the HRD
Yasir Elsir Ali is a blogger and human rights defender, who has used social media to denounce State-led human rights violations.

8 January 2019 : Ongoing incommunicado detention of blogger and human rights defender, Yasir Elsir Ali
Download the Urgent Appeal
At around noon on Saturday 5 January, 12 armed men wearing balaclavas and civilian clothes stormed Yasir Elsir Ali's family home. Yasir Elsir Ali was due to return to United Arab Emirates on the same day, but the men told him and his family that a travel ban was in force against him. The human rights defender had traveled back to Sudan from United Arab Emirates on 20 December 2018 to visit his dying father.
According to his family, the men - who arrived in an unmarked truck - showed no warrant before forcibly detaining Yasir Elsir Ali. The men also threatened his family to prevent them from speaking out or from filming his detention.
On 25 December 2018, Yasir Elsir Ali was shot by a sniper in Khartoum. The bullet fractured one of his ribs, and punctured his right lung before settling in his spinal chord. He was taken to hospital, but surgeons in Khartoum refused to remove the bullet, believing that it would require a very serious surgery that they were not sufficiently well-equipped to carry out. The human rights defender spent nine nights in the intensive care unit at Fidail Hospital in Khartoum, before being discharged on 3 January. He has been in incommunicado detention since 5 January.
Yasir Elsir Ali's family, friends, as well as Sudanese human rights organizations are very concerned about his situation, as he is in very critical health and his whereabouts are not known.
Front Line Defenders is concerned for the health and safety of Yasir Elsir Ali and condemns his ongoing incommunicado detention, particularly given that he requires urgent medical attention. Front Line Defenders believes the treatment of Yasir Elsir Ali to be solely connected to his legitimate and peaceful work in promoting and protecting human rights in Sudan.

From pre-configured hi-hat/crash/ride cymbal packs designed to help beginner drummers get on the ladder, to hand-crafted, complex-sounding individual metals using the finest alloys, there has never been a better choice of cymbal companies, cymbals types and sounds available.
As always, the more cash you spend, the more you will be able to unlock quality craftsmanship, premium materials and more pleasing cymbal sounds. However, a small budget doesn't need to mean terrible sounding cymbals and cymbal companies are getting much better at extracting decent tones out of 'inferior' alloys.
Each cymbal will have a slightly different tonal characteristic to the next one, so we would always recommend trying before you buy. And if you're replacing individual cymbals within your set-up, you should always aim to complement your overall sound with any new additions, rather than choosing a model that sticks out unnaturally.
We've tested a huge range of cymbals to suit all musical situations so, whether you're looking for the best cymbals for rock, funk, metal, jazz, or any other style, we have you covered. In fact, your next cymbal is almost definitely on this list.
Newcomers to drumming can be caught unawares when they budget for their first kit, not realising that drum manufacturers don't make cymbals and that the cheap brass cymbals thrown in with their starter kit are hideous duffers. Cheap cymbals just sound nasty. The SBR range covers the popular sizes a beginner is most likely to need. The medium weight and classic profile, along with the Sabian logo, give the cymbals authenticity. And they look the part with their deep, large-peen hammering and pinpoint lathing. This is the same hand-guided, high-pressure hammering and hand lathing that Sabian lavishes on its expensive bronze cymbals. Beneath their initial thin attack there is some real meat and tone. Brass cymbals will never sound as complex as proper bronze cymbals, but these are well worth upgrading to from the cymbals thrown in with your starter kit.
Stagg cymbals from China have been with us since 2001, offering B20 bronze hand-hammered cymbals at shockingly attractive prices. The Single Hammered SH line-up is the cheapest in the range. Cymbals have uniform shallow hand-lathing top and bottom and extremely light hammering, almost unnoticeable. What the lack of extensive hammering does mean is they are a little short on projection when compared with more heavily-worked cymbals, but overall they have universally clean tones. The only thing stopping them being top class cymbals is a slight foreshortening of sustain and shallowness of timbre which the extra working of expensive cymbals bestows. It's most noticeable by the time you get to the larger 16" and 18" crashes, but at these prices it's unfair to be too sniffy. The SH may be Stagg's cheapest series, but for such budget cymbals they are unusually refined in tone. B20 bronze, hand-hammered cymbals at knock-down prices.
Dream produce professional quality cymbals in the ancient Chinese cymbal-making region around Wuhan city. Dream's Contact series lies somewhere between the slightly darker, trashier Bliss series and the rockier Energy series. The Contact series is, unusually, made from B23: 23 percent tin content and 77 percent copper. With such a high tin content the result is a lovely silvery-gold colouring and a slightly brighter stick response. The cymbals have a satin finish with Chinese-style graphics, and surfaces are lightly dimpled with barely discernible hammering, close-lathed top and bottom. If you're into heavy metal, you should maybe look away now - these cymbals won't deliver a face melting. The vibe is softer and mellower: a hint of China trashiness, a spicy tang and bell-like clarity. They need coaxing, not slaying. But while they're not clangers, they can certainly be played hard. Each cymbal will sound slightly different, so you need to choose with care.
Featuring splashes, crashes, chinas, hi-hats and rides, PST8s contain a fair few attributes from higher-spec Paiste ranges - chief among these is the CuSn8 bronze that the cymbals are made from. CuSn8 is Paiste's own blend of B8 and is also known as 2002 bronze after the legendary Paiste range that it was formulated for. Most of the diameters of cymbal are available in two weights - Medium and Rock. As well as being heavier, the Rock models also have larger bells, a slightly flatter profile and have been on the end of a few more hammer blows. Crashes open with a clean, silky blast of B8 that slides across the mix. Three pairs of 14" hi-hats are available - Medium, Rock and Sound Edge, and ride cymbals come in 20" (Medium & Rock) and 22" (Rock only) sizes. The 20" Medium gives a bright stick sound that generates a sympathetic accompaniment of wash. In comparison the heavier 20" Rock has a toppier, more lively feel, while the 22" Rock ride has a deeper voice and bigger presence.
The S Family is extensive, with 38 cymbals available individually or in two boxed sets - a Performer and a Rock Cymbal set. Medium spaced rippled lathing covers the top and bottom surfaces, and there is intensive, graded machine hammering everywhere except on the bells. The collection encompasses four weights: Thin, Medium-Thin, Medium and Rock. A highlight of the range, stick definition on the 20" Medium ride is exemplary, with the clarity of a top pro cymbal, quite woody and focused. The 18" hole-strewn Trash crash has a funky thin and trashy element, like a super-thin fast crash. It would make a great effects cymbals, regardless of budget. Improving on Zildjian's old ZHT series, the B12 bronze alloy S Family is a good-looking intermediate level series with a range of weights offering a compelling range of sounds.
Meinl describes its Pure Alloy series as having "shimmering clarity", and that's pretty accurate. The top sides of each cymbal are finely lathed and then smoothed over with a tasteful shiny finish, plus small hex-circular computerised machine hammering all over except for the bells. Underneath, the lathing is also fine but not smoothed. Meinl is well known for its edgy, raw finishes and this Pure Alloy range is much more classic looking. Hi-hats sizzle nicely when just fractionally opened, powerful enough and yet controlled. The 15" pair have a little more character than the 14"s by virtue of being fatter and more assertive. Rides boast a zingy, attacking brightness and are ideal for playing alongside electrified bands. It's when you get to the crashes that the Pure Alloy sound fares best, with a rich, translucent and rounded whoosh. Boasting a clean sound, Pure Alloy is an apt description for the series.
Italy is famous for many things. However, you may not know the country has long been associated with cymbal production. UFIP (Unione Fabbricanti Italiani Piatti), is a Tuscan-based company, originally set up as a cooperative of four Italian manufacturers. Due to their fundamentally bright tonal characteristics, the UFIP Bionic series is aimed primarily at rock and metal players. The majority of the models are subjected to some rigorous hand-polishing, awarding them a glassy, gleaming finish. The high standard of manufacture is truly impressive. Crashes are big and powerful, with cut in all the right places, but never brash or trashy - they would have no problem pushing through the barriers of any acoustic or amplified instrument. Elsewhere, the 18" China blooms to burst, filling the air with a raspy, gong-like sound that is loud and penetrating. Overall, this is a fantastic set of cymbals which will be equally at home in a rock or metal environment and many other genres too.
Effects cymbals are big business these days as cymbal companies strive to broaden the palette of acoustic players in the face of digital jiggery-pokery and e-kit popularity. Zildjian's FX cymbal range offers a huge range of cool, quirky and mostly affordable sounds to drummers looking to enhance their sonic palette. Amongst the range, Oriental China Trashes are versatile little things, offering at least three distinct sounds - a tanking rounded short 'doink' of a bell, a clean central stick-tip 'ting', and a sharp trashy edge crash. Hissy Spiral Stackers offer a cool sonic as well as visual effect and the Zil-Bel delivers a soft and pure ping. Elsewhere, the dazzling Trashformer offers an airy splash sound, ideal for quick accents. The bottom line is that Zildjian has an FX model to match the sounds in your head. The only difficulty is in choosing which one to try first.
For half a century Meinl epitomised the European style of so-called sheet bronze B8 cymbals. In order to penetrate the American market, Meinl took a crucial step in 2000 and opened a factory in Turkey, home of the traditional cymbal. And in 2001 Meinl launched its B20 bell-bronze alloy Byzance range. Following the time-honoured Turkish hand-hammering, Byzance cymbals are transported back to Meinl's German HQ for finishing. The Byzance range is vast, offering a wild range of styles, sizes and unique looks, and encompasses six sub-series: Jazz, Traditional, Dark, Brilliant, Extra Dry and Vintage. Byzance offers different shades of darkness – the Dark Series is left raw and produces a sound just as its moniker suggests, whilst Extra Drys straddle the line between traditional and modern perfectly. Despite their gleaming finish, even Brilliant Series cymbals dish out warmth and depth.
In 2014, Cindy Blackman returned to touring with her old pal Lenny Kravitz. For that gig she felt the need for sharper, brighter cymbals, though not at the expense of losing her darker jazzy side. Hence the arrival of the Mantra cymbals. The small set encompasses a 22" ride, 20" crash and 15" hi-hats. The 22" Mantra ride has a brilliant leading edge with a sharp stick response. It cleverly combines its jazz and funk roots with a modern, more sparklingly loud and cutting thrust. The 20" crash also has a lower warmth and range, but starts with a sharper and livelier slicing edge. It's pretty fast for a 20", opens up easily and blooms luxuriously with a full rich whoosh. The 15" hats are plenty quick enough, but have a bit of extra heft. There's a softer and darker feel to them and they have a subtly subdued and husky tone. These cymbals retain that hallmark, traditional Istanbul character, but with a sharper, brighter cutting, rocking edge.
Back in 1993 Sabian's lathing and hammering technology helped usher in a cutting-edge, modern cymbal line with AAX. The key pillars of the line are brightness, cut and musicality with a wide dynamic range, making it the ideal range for modern pop, rock and R&B styles. AAX X-Plosion hats and crashes have become staples of rock set-ups from clubs to stadiums and the Raw Bell Dry ride is the stuff of legend. But the AAX range has so much more to offer. Newer models like the hole-peppered Air splashes, Aero crashes and Freq crashes, deliver the same brightness, but add extra sonic colour to an already winning cymbal line. Innovative models like the multi-tonal Omni, designed in collaboration with Jojo Mayer, are the icing on the cake.
As far as classic cymbals go, Paiste's 2002 line is up there with the best of them. First introduced in 1971, the typically powerful, ballsy 2002 tone has been much admired by rock players in particular ever since. Today the series is an extensive one; alongside the 'standard' options are some interesting instruments, particularly in the ride and crash departments. Within the range you'll find 18" to 24" rides, 16" to 22" crashes and 13" to 17" hi-hats in a range of weights, plus a selection of Chinas and splashes. There's not one cymbal amongst the range that doesn't impress when judged on its own terms. If you're not keen on any of the line it'll be because it doesn't suit your mood, rather than a case of being badly conceived. The 2002 series makes as much sense now as it did nearly 35 years ago.
Drummers looking for darker, richer tones with contemporary voicing should look no further than Zildjian's celebrated K Custom range. Cymbals within the vast K Custom universe are treated to traditional K hammering, in addition to modern hammering techniques that lead to unique and often complex tonal characteristics. Zildjian recommends K Customs for modern jazz, studio, country and medium rock, but with the increasing diversity in music, you'll find K Customs being played by drummers everywhere from hip-hop to heavy metal. Scratch beneath the surface of the standard hats, crashes and rides and you quickly realise there there is a K Custom model to suit every situation – the surprisingly versatile Special Dry range caters to more modern tastes, while the dual-finish K Custom Hybrids, designed in collaboration with Akira Jimbo, offer unrivalled versatility.
When Sabian was founded in 1981 by Robert Zildjian, the Hand Hammered or 'HH' series was its pioneering line. Thirty-five years on, these famously refined cymbals have been treated to a well deserved make-over. Sabian promises that with even more hammering - between 2,000 and 4,000 hammer strikes per cymbal - the HH series will now deliver even more complexity and more tone for the discerning drummer. Considering how long the range has existed, and as with most Sabian lines, there is a dazzling array of choice. We love the vintage styling and sound of the HH Remastered cymbals, and the jazz-friendly HH Vanguards, but within the range you'll find everything from rapid-fire O-zone crashes and vintage hats, to big, dirty ride cymbals.
Paiste's Masters series was first introduced in 2011 and initially consisted of 12 rides that were, in the words of the company, "laboriously hand-manufactured to achieve superior sound ideal in various musical genres". Since 2014 the premium line has slowly expanded to include five hi-hat pairs, eight crashes, comprising Dark and Extra Thin models, two splashes and a 22" Swish made to the specifications of session legend and Paiste endorsee Jim Keltner. Only Paiste's most experienced cymbalsmiths get to work on Masters models and it shows in the top drawer sound. Ideal for recording and live work, Paiste Masters are particularly suited to jazz, blues, pop and country styles. With a wide range of cymbal thicknesses, delivering sound from dark to bright and dry to full of sustain, you should find the sound you're after. These are big, beautiful and sophisticated cymbals capable of nuance and expression, best suited for players (particularly those studio-bound) who seek such attributes.
Armand Zildjian, then president of the Avedis Zildjian Company, introduced the K Zildjian Constantinople series back in 1998. The aim was to recreate the look, feel and ultimately the sound of the original Turkish-made Kerope Zildjian Ks. After the death of Armand in 2002, the baton was handed over to R&D director Paul Francis and his team, who continue to develop the range, creating new models and series enhancements. The series' apparent suitability for jazz is echoed by the collaborative design input from several top jazz drummers including Adam Nussbaum with the 22" Renaissance ride, Kenny Washington 20" Bounce (and its larger 22" Bounce) and Elvin Jones with the 14" hi-hat. K Constantinoples are crafted in small batches via a meticulous 14-step process. The complex hammering approach in particular, stamps each cymbal with its unique sonic identity, both cutting and dark in tone.
In 2004, Sabian introduced the Vault tag, a collection of special, individual cymbals from the Canadian company's experimental lab where its master cymbalsmiths try out new ideas. Fast forward to 2017 and Vault as a series name was dropped, but Artisan is still going strong with these new additions under the banner of Elite and Light. The 22" Elite ride has a wonderful extra-dark stick sound. Played in the middle of the bow you'd almost think it was 24" or 26" rather than 22", it is so broadly sonorous. The 16" Elite hats are commanding, they feel big but don't get in the way sonically. Although deep they are expressive and as they're quite light there's little feeling of hard work, of a lumbering lag in opening and closing. Both 14" and 15" Light team a lightweight, crashy top cymbal with a medium weight bottom and thus make a lighter-weight pairing, delivering a lower volume and duskier tone.

Hiram de Lima Pereira (Caicó, Rio Grande do Norte, 3 de outubro de 1913 – São Paulo, São Paulo, janeiro de 1975), foi um jornalista, poeta, ator e deputado federal brasileiro. Dirigente do Partido Comunista Brasileiro (PCB), foi preso, torturado e assassinado durante a ditadura militar brasileira, regime instaurado em 1 de abril de 1964 e que durou até 15 de março de 1985.

Era casado com Célia Pereira, com quem teve quatro filhas, entre elas a atriz Zodja Pereira.

É um dos casos investigados pela Comissão Nacional da Verdade (CNV), que apura mortes e desaparecimentos na ditadura militar brasileira.

Biografia

Hiram nasceu em Caicó, no sertão do Seridó, Rio Grande do Norte, filho de Hilário Amâncio Pereira e Maria Marieta de Lima Pereira.

Em 1935, foi servir o exército no Rio de Janeiro. Dois anos depois, foi preso por acaso, ignorando que seu colega de quarto fazia parte do Partido Comunista. Foi na cadeia, na Casa de Detenção do então Distrito Federal (1891–1960), que ele entrou em contato com o marxismo.

De volta à cidade natal, casou-se com a musicista e poeta Célia Pereira em 1940. Em 1944, a pedido do PCB, Hiran muda-se para Natal com a esposa e as filhas, Nadja e Sacha Lídice. Já na capital potiguar nasce a terceira filha do casal, Zodja.

Em 1946, Hiram é eleito deputado federal pelo Rio Grande do Norte e, em 1948 tem o seu mandato cassado, junto com toda a bancada do PCB.

É deslocado para Recife em 1949, passando a trabalhar como redator do jornal Folha do Povo, órgão oficial do partido. Ao mesmo tempo, desempenha a função de vogal na Junta de Conciliação e Julgamento de Recife. Ao lado de David Capistrano da Costa, Gregório Bezerra, Paulo Cavalcanti e outros líderes comunistas, engajou-se ativamente na construção da Frente do Recife, que conquistou a prefeitura em 1955 com o engenheiro Pelópidas Silveira, cujo sucessor foi Miguel Arraes, eleito prefeito da capital em 1959 e governador em 1962. Hiram também foi secretário municipal de Administração por três mandatos consecutivos, nas gestões de Miguel Arraes, de Pelópidas da Silveira e de Liberato da Costa Júnior, assumindo o cargo de 1959 a 1964.

Durante a crise da renúncia de Jânio Quadros, em agosto de 1961, foi sequestrado juntamente com outros dirigentes comunistas por agentes do IV Exército, desaparecendo por dez dias, até ser levado para a ilha de Fernando de Noronha . Após sair da prisão, retomou suas funções na prefeitura. No mesmo ano, sua filha mais nova, Hânya, nasceu.

Com o golpe militar em 1964, Hiran caiu na clandestinidade a partir do dia 1 de abril de 1964, e assim viveu em Recife até 1966, quando resolveu se transferir para a cidade do Rio de Janeiro, e posteriormente para São Paulo. Enquanto vivia de maneira clandestina, sua família sofria as consequências da onda repressiva durante o regime, sendo sua esposa, filhas e até mesmo genros detidos pelo IV Exército como reféns. Posteriormente em São Paulo, continuou exercendo missões partidárias e dirigente político e participou das ações do PCB, também atuou como jornalista, sendo um dos principais responsáveis pelo jornal A Voz Operária. Durante sua passagem por São Paulo, não pode morar junto a família, justamente para evitar que as filhas e esposa corressem perigo. Apesar de manter um contato frequente por cartas e visitas, o último contato que Hiram teve com seus familiares foi no dia 9 de janeiro de 1975, quando avisara à esposa que a situação estava séria, e que corria riscos de ser morto. Após seis dias, Célia, foi sequestrada por dois agentes que se identificaram como da Oban a serviço do DOI-CODI/SP, foi levada ao quartel e passou por uma série de entrevistas e torturas.

Foi após 1975 que Hiram desapareceu em meio à ditadura militar.

Cecília entrou com diversos mecanismos em busca ao marido. Além de procura-lo no QG do II Exército, também tentou localiza-lo no na base do I Exército e nos DOPS/SP e DOPS/RJ, em todos os lugares não haviam indícios de que o marido estivera preso. Assim, Cecilia recorreu a uma carta à Comissão da Justiça e Paz, alegando o desaparecimento do marido, as condições de saúde do mesmo e também os sequestros e ameaças sofridas por ela e suas filhas.

Morte

Hiram foi preso no dia 15 de janeiro de 1975, como parte da operação Radar, grande ofensiva do exército iniciada em 1973 para dizimar o PCB, segundo depoimento do ex-sargento e agente do Destacamento de Operações de Informação - Centro de Operações de Defesa Interna (DOI-Codi) Marival Dias Chaves do Canto para a revista Veja, publicado em 18 de novembro de 1992. Sua esposa foi presa na mesma data e foi torturada por três dias na rua Tutóia. Cerca de um mês depois, Zodja e Sacha foram presas e interrogadas no DOI-Codi.

A informação mais concreta de seu destino está no mesmo depoimento de Marival para Veja, em que o ex-sargento cita nominalmente Hiram entre os membros do Comitê Central do PCB que teriam sido mortos e esquartejados pelo DOI-Codi e jogados na represa de Avaré, interior de São Paulo.

Através de processo baseado no depoimento de Marival Chaves, em 1994 a União foi condenada a pagar 2 milhões de reais para a família de Hiram. Foi dado como morto apenas em 1995, através da lei L9.140, que reconheceu como mortas pessoas desaparecidas em razão de participação, ou acusação de participação, em atividades políticas, no período de 2 de setembro de 1961 a 15 de agosto de 1979.

Teatro

Hiram e a mulher, Célia, dedicaram-se às artes e, em particular, ao teatro. Em Natal, participaram da fundação do Teatro do Estudante do Rio Grande no Norte.

Ele também participou como ator da peça "A Pena e a Lei", de autoria de Ariano Suassuna e direção de Hermilo Borba Filho, cuja estreia foi no Teatro Popular do Nordeste (TPN). A peça apresenta uma critica concisa de como o Brasil se transformou de acordo com suas instituições, que passaram a privilegiar as elites e a marginalizar os pobres.Explorando como a justiça é falha no país, com elementos cômicos que abordam o drama real. É considerada uma das obras mais famosas do autor. Em sua versão literária, foi elaborada nos moldes tradicionais nordestinos de cordel.

Todas as filhas foram influenciadas pelo envolvimento artístico dos pais a sua maneira: Nadja é professora de piano, Sacha Lídice dedica-se à música na aposentadoria, Zodja seguiu carreira de atriz e hoje possui uma empresa de dublagem e Hânya foi atriz-mirim, mas abraçou o Direito como profissão. Além das filhas, o neto de Hiram, Hermes Barolli, filho de Zodja, também seguiu o ramo artístico na atuação e na dublagem, chegando a fundar um estúdio com sua mãe.

Q: Conversion of msi to executable with parameters The requirement is to convert an msi to a executable file. There are tools available to convert the msi to .exe . But here while executing the msi a lot of parameters passed . This is achieved by writing a batch script and running it from the location of .msi . Now the requirement is to convert the .msi to .exe with parameters passed during conversion.
Is there a way to achieve this using programming/ any tools available?
Thanks in advance

A: You can try to use any installer tools like InstallShield, Advanced Installer, etc. which have prerequisites support. Then, you can add the MSI as a prerequisite to an EXE installation package.

Indonesian dancers perform the traditional Poco-poco dance in Jakarta on Sunday. At least 65,000 participants hoped to set a world record in their effort to promote the upcoming Asian Games. | AFP-JIJI
Indonesian president joins 65,000 dancers at event to promote Asian Games
Online: Aug 05, 2018
JAKARTA - President Joko Widodo led some 65,000 compatriots in a mass dance through the streets of Jakarta on Sunday to promote the Asian Games and try to set a world record along the way.
Jakarta and the city of Palembang on Sumatra will jointly host Asia's biggest sporting event from Aug. 18 but Widodo has previously complained about the lack of promotion and enthusiasm in the country.
In a bid to drum up support ahead of the games authorities turned to the poco-poco, a traditional line dance from North Sulawesi province.
Dressed in white and red — the color of the Indonesian flag — President Widodo, his wife Iriana, and several high ranking officials led tens of thousands of Indonesians in a long, snaking line of dancers through the capital.
Organizers hoped to break the world record for the largest number of people performing the traditional dance in one place and said 65,000 people took part in Jakarta.
"Poco-poco is the original culture of Indonesia and it's a native dance, so we are now performing a mass Poco-poco dance with 65,000 people setting the world record showing and reiterating Poco-poco belongs to Indonesia," police chief Tito Karnavian, who took part in the event, said.
Police and military staff, members of parliament, students, members of fitness centers as well as inmates in jails across Indonesia all showed their best Poco-poco moves at the same time.
"This a very good opportunity to show that Indonesia is conserving its traditions," high school student Raja Farid Akbar said. "I am happy that I can help promote a tradition that could have been forgotten."
About 11,000 athletes and 5,000 officials from 45 Asian countries are expected to flock to Jakarta and Palembang for the Aug. 18-Sept. 2 games, the world's biggest multisport event behind the Olympics.
