PLANT OF GOOD LUCK? "THE JADE"
It is a plant that has grown and has been combined with so many small nuggets of rumors, myths and truths that are difficult to break, personally I like them a lot, they are very striking and I have them in every corner of my house.
Let's start with the basics: The Jade Plant or Money is one of the most famous and popular that are used as indoor plants. The jade plant, also called in other countries: Crassula ovata is very easy to care for. It is a plant easy to care for and resistant to changes in temperature, although if you want it to have the best appearance and develop an attractive flowering it is best to grow it in places with normal temperatures.
Often these plants are also found in Chinese restaurants and stores, which are usually there due to their ability to grow under artificial light and be able to take the hot ambient temperature that is created in these places.
In some countries, they are often given as wedding gifts.
It can grow to a maximum height of one meter, its branches are thick and become woody over time. The leaves grow in opposite pairs along the stem, are fleshy and can measure up to 7 centimeters long.
Its jade green color (hence its name).
Muy buenas fotos. tengo entendido que los chinos le agregan lacitos rojos con monedas para atraer la buena suerte.
si querida amiga, así es! es parte de la creencia y de sus tradiciones!
May your jade collection bring you good fortune!

I have heard it said recently, "God does not care about one lion.". I beg to differ. The earth and all that is in it is a masterpiece created by the hand of God and there is nothing that was created that was created by accident. From the book of Matthew it is said, "Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father.". So if God has His eyes trained on each and every sparrow, how much more is a sentient lion with offspring and emotions worth? Or for that matter, an elephant or rhino or monkey in a cage at a testing lab terrorized every day for it's entire miserable life?
From the very first man Adam, it has been the responsibility of man to name and care for the animal kingdom and we are not doing a very good job of it. According to the Washington Post, lion populations in Africa have been reduced from 100,000 to 32,000 in fifty years. The Guardian quotes Dune Ives regarding elephant populations, "This species could be extinct in our lifetime, within one or two decades, if the current trend continues," Dune Ives, senior researcher at Vulcan, a philanthropic organisation run by US billionaire Paul Allen, said. "In five years we may have lost the opportunity to save this magnificent and iconic animal." Many other predator species including America's treasured wolves and wild cats are rapidly headed for extinction at the hands of poachers and trophy hunters. These animals are important to their Creator and to the environment itself. When too many of them are killed the species lower on the food chain tend to overpopulate causing habitat destruction and sometimes even rampant disease affecting both animal and human populations. Even though the current outpouring of grief is for one animal who endured terrible suffering for a day, the bigger issue is the massacre of wildlife that cannot be replaced once extinct.
I have heard the animal rights activists who were broken hearted over Cecil called wimps for their grief over "one lion". Would be somehow be tougher and more manly if we were impervious to the suffering of one of God's creatures forced to endure an entire day of agony from having been wounded by a trophy hunter's errant arrow? Even if no human being cared about the "one lion", the God who makes sure that not one sparrow falls to the ground without Him was with him every step of the way. God cares for the "one lion", all the wildlife on the continents, the Marines killed at Chatanooga and the millions of babies murdered in the slaughter houses of Planned Parenthood. His love is not limited to one species, one race of people or people of a certain age. And He has appointed watchmen to care for it all, some for the animals, some for the babies, some for the poor and some for the sick. Recently hundreds flocked to the Salt River to save a band of beloved wild horses. Are they somehow evil because the did not instead flock to Chattanooga to mourn for the Marines killed there? Of course not, they answered the call of their Creator and sprang into emergency action and saved the herd. Thank God for those who can still hear the call when it comes.
In the end, the Bible predicts that mankind will not be able to gain control of his hatred and greed. He will unleash his weapons of destruction to destroy the earth and it's inhabitants, but God will not have forgotten His precious creation and will finally take vengeance on those who destroy it. From the book of Revelation, "And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth.". Best not to be on the wrong side on that day.

Not being a great fan of the CBC network I have to say they might get my attention with this show. This show pokes fun with mild satire at the average persons concept of folks from the Middle East. This will be a hit if the writers can break the stereo typing that seems to come from the medias attempt to blanket just the negative elements of everyday life. CBC's leap of faith is to be commended. I don't know if an American network could pull this off as their sitcoms seem to be floundering for the last decade or so. I'm old - poke - poke 50 years old. I am willing to give this show a chance - beats the heck out of all these other shows they base on life. Thank you CBC.

Bali Police chief Sutisna has ordered an immediate and thorough investigation into the fatal Red Room gang assault and said safety and security in the Kuta-Legian-Seminyak entertainment district was paramount.
Police will work with the newly formed Community Partnership Forum (FKPM) and tradition Pecalang village security to stamp out thuggery around evening entertainment venues.
On July 14 a cook at the Red Room, in Jl Dyana Pura, Seminyak, was slashed to death by armed thugs who raided the premises. A security guard who went to the man's assistance was badly injured.
The incident was the latest in a string of assaults that have blighted the main night-time entertainment district. Most of the trouble is centred on 61 Legian, beside the Bomb Memorial on Jl Legian, where the Sky Garden bar disco complex is sited.
There was a further incident at Sky Garden on July 16, the fourth this year. One intruder was injured – he fell down some stairs – and a security guard was bashed.
Witnesses said at least one of the intruders was armed with a sword. The Red Room attackers also carried swords and heavy metal chains.
The guard was later suspended from duty by Sky Garden management because he had produced a weapon during the incident. It was reported to be a length of wood used at the premises to operate an air conditioner switch.
The man was taken to hospital after the incident but Kuta Police chief Wimboko said at the time this would not hold up the investigation.
In raids following the Red Room incident police seized knives and other weapons from several houses and said they had the name of one of the attackers.

Q: Rails API saving belongs_to association I'm trying to have below in more of a Rails way.
Given appointment belongs to service:
appointment = Appointment.new(appointment_params)
appointment.service = Service.find(params[:service][:id])
appointment.save

What I've tried so far:
appointment = Appointment.new(appointment_params)
appointment.build_service(params[:service])
appointment.save

However with this approach I'm getting ForbiddenAttributesError
I cannot use accepts_nested_attributes_for because in strong params I need to use service_attributes but my UI application sends AJAX request without _attributes but rather just service with its attributes.
I don't really like where Rails enforces you to use _attributes popular Javascript frameworks like Angular.js and React.js does not enforce or encourage this pattern after all. Is there a way to override this and still use strong parameters with benefit of using accepts_nested_attributes_for?

A: Try just setting the ID.  It would be helpful to see your model file, though.
appointment.service_id = params[:service][:id]

or
appointment.service_id = Service.find(params[:service][:id]).id # if you know service exists...

No complaints will be arising from the kids' table this Thanksgiving! Jen Carver of Banner Events here AND I'M sharing some kid-friendly Thanksgiving party ideas my friend, Vivian Kerr, and I created. When you are mothers of 4 children each, you are continually searching for fun and festive ideas for involving the kids in holiday preparations and traditions.
We fell in love with Anders Ruff's Happy Gobble Day printable collection, purposely created with kids in mind. It was the perfect springboard for designing Thanksgiving party decorations, treats, activities and favors our kids would love!
Enjoy the magic of our Thanksgiving party captured by Andrea Pasion Photography.
This fall acorn pudding is a great recipe for kids!
Entertain the kids at your Thanksgiving feast with one of these 12 Thanksgiving craft ideas for kids.
When approaching the styling for this Thanksgiving party, we were determined to create an interactive experience for our kids at the dinner table as well as away from it (realistically, how long do your kids actually stay in their seat during Thanksgivingdinner?!).
We designed a festive kid-centered tablescape and came up with a creative idea to have a trading post, in lieu of the traditional dessert table.
To help teach our children about Pilgrims and Indians and have them experience trading, we create "Gobble Day" gold which they could trade in for after dinner treats.
We had so much fun creating the trading post.
Neutral herringbone fabric was hung to create a backdrop. Artificial plants and trees were arranged to help create the illusion of being out-of-doors.
A "Happy Gobble Day" banner was hung from burlap squares attached to clothes pins, hung from twine tied between two trees.
A life-sized teepee conceptualized and constructed by Vivian was the focal point of the trading post.
Made from sewing together canvas paint drop cloths and PVC pipe painted brown to look like wooden sticks, it was a well-loved addition to our kid-friendly Thanksgiving party space.
To add color and interest to the top of the teepee, we created a triangle bunting using coordinating printable pattern papers from the Anders Ruff's collection.
Not only was the teepee the designated spot for trading, but it served as a popular play place for our little guests.
We created "Gobble Day" gold easily by adhering the colorful Thanksgiving party circles to plastic gold coins. Each child received a few at their place setting and had the opportunity to earn additional gold coins through good behavior.
To bring in a rustic feel, we collected old chests, crates, baskets, wooden boxes and a cornucopia which we over-filled with pumpkins, Indian corn and gourds.
We added a few pieces of more modern décor to fill in spots.
All of these items helped to serve as our display for trading post treats.
Our guests had fun choosing from an assortment of delicious treats.
There were pumpkin parfaits in small canning jars consisting of layers of pumpkin mousse, whipping cream and crushed gingersnaps.
Raffia and printable labels accessorized each parfait.
Faux Indian corn favors were a favorite.
Fashioned from dried corn husks with small bags of Reese's Pieces candy tucked inside, each maize favor was tied off with tiny pieces of raffia.
These looked awesome displayed in a harvest basket.
Pumpkin muffins clothed in colorful striped liners were topped with darling printable turkeys on toothpicks.
Teepee treats were made from sugar cones, dipped in chocolate and rolled in colorful sprinkles. A few broken pretzel pieces were added to the teepee top to look like sticks.
Johanna Dellino of Pop.O.Licious Cake Pops created turkey and cornucopia cake pops, which were kid favorites.
And because anything mini is adorable, Vivian baked up mini apple pies using premade pie dough baked in muffin tins.
Coordinating digital paper was used to make mini pie boxes.
Because traditions are always fun to incorporate into parties, Vivian included one of her family's favorite treats—"gobble goodies".
These adorable turkeys were created by rolling Rice Krispy treats into small balls and attaching them to one half of an Oreo for the body with frosting.
Candy corn feathers are attached to the base of another Oreo half.
Edible candy eyes and a candy corn beak complete the face.
Packages of "blessing mix" were created as a guest take home favor.
These were an easy assembly item and included cellophane bags filled with a mix of peanuts, pretzels, Bugles, candy corn and candy orange slices.
Each item represented part of the "blessing mix" poem, which was attached to the front of the bag.
Designed for kid-friendly fun, our Thanksgiving table has lots of simple touches to keep kids busy while parents are busy finishing up the Thanksgiving meal.
We used adorable coloring and activity placemats from the Anders Ruff collection and "I am Thankful" cards, both of which provided activities to keep the children busy.
Each child's place setting included a small crayon bundle displayed in a mini glass trifle dish decorated to look like a turkey. A few pieces of "Gobble Gold" and mini chocolate bars were also included.
Clear glass mugs were dressed up in adorable beverage labels.
Mini Mayflower ships were made from felt. Party circles were attached to the sails to tie our theme together.
We added a hand-sewn Mayflower to the center of our table as a focal point and displayed wooden Pilgrims and Indians. Hand sewn napkins and a table runner were made in coordinating party colors.
Because children love dressing the part, we created feather headbands and pilgrim hats from the printable collection. We added some costumes purchased at after-Halloween sales.
Vivian sewed beautiful dresses and bonnets for the girls. The children had so much fun learning about traditional toys and games and practicing trades in the teepee.
We hope you have fun planning your own kid-friendly Thanksgiving party and can use our ideas to inspire your own!
Be sure to check out some more kid-friendly Thanksgiving ideas.

Carol Mullen contends that in today's education climate there exists an urgent call for university faculty to take responsibility for reforming university preparation programs. She uncovers vital information about the needs of the nation's schools that can be reflected in program content and policy reform. Otherwise, the least effective of these programs could be eliminated, as has already occurred in some states. This book should help principal preparation programs that are behind the times to move forward. Such programs can thus be expected to be aligned not only with the expectations of universities, policymaking bodies, and the public, but also with school districts and practicing school leaders. Schoolteachers who aspire to school leadership will also benefit from this book, as Mullen speaks to them directly through the idea of peer administration groups. School practitioners who carry mentoring and evaluative responsibilities will also profit from learning about new school leaders' experiences of socialization, adjustment, and survival, as well as their conceptualizations of what matters for school leaders to know about the job itself.


A new poster for J.J. Abrams' 'Star Trek Into Darkness' has been released and it features John Harrison (Benedict Cumberbatch) strutting his stuff down a runway disguised as a burning futuristic city. It's quite similar to the most recent one-sheet but instead of the lovely floating bodies of Captain Kirk, Spock, and Uhura packing heat, we get this horrifying image of mass destruction.
Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, Zoe Saldana, Karl Urban, Simon Pegg, Anton Yelchin, John Cho, Bruce Greenwood, Peter Weller, and Alice Eve star. Star Trek Into Darkness opens in IMAX 3D on May 15th, and everywhere on May 17th.


With Easter bank holiday weekend fast approaching, it can be hard sometimes to decline an offer to go to the pub after work right?? Well, it's a very common thing to feel peer pressured into having an alcoholic drink, even if you don't want to. Saying no can be a tough thing, especially in society today.
I know that when i used to go out and not drink, i would feel people are judging me and confused as to why i wasn't drinking, and no it wasn't because i was pregnant!! I simply didn't want to drink. Alcohol doesn't exactly mix well with me. It makes me ill. Makes me bloated the next day, all in all just ruins me. It's something that i noticed a few years ago. I remember going out one evening and only having 2 drinks, then was violently sick the rest of the evening, no i wasn't drunk, thankfully i'm not that much of a lightweight!! But i just thought maybe it was something i had eaten. But after numerous times of going out and having the same thing occur, i knew it was something else. I can't deny i stopped drinking on nights out for health reasons but also because it's not the nicest thing throwing up during the night…got to have my back there right?
But back to my point. When i first started having sober nights out, i weirdly enjoyed the nights more than i thought, watching drunk people can be very amusing. I could wake up the next day feeling pretty fresh and having no crazy stomach pains. People would try and force drink at me, but you just have to sternly say no. Or take it and just put it down. Yes the bar man would look at me weirdly as i ordered a water, however, they wouldn't want to be clearing up my vomit I'm sure.
If you've been following me for a while on here you will know that this time last year i was on a prep and i was finding it pretty difficult. But that was a huge reason that i gave to people why i wasn't drinking. Of course i'm not saying that it's something you guys should do. But if you explain to people the reason why you are not drinking, they are more likely to understand, even with the subtle digs they might give. Your health and fitness goals are hugely important, so don't let anyone tell you different. You stick with your guns. You can still go to the pub and have a soft drink, socialising is just as important, but it doesn't have to be around/involve alcohol.
I've gone from the friend that used to throw up all the time to the sensible friend who will make sure everyone gets home okay. Now, i don't want to sound like a right party pooper, because i do have a drink, just not in excess as i know the consequences. I love going out, but for me its best either sober, or to just know my limits. People understand that my health and fitness goals are a huge priority in my life, they accept it, i'm sure your friends and colleagues will too. You just need to explain and have the mental will power to not give in. If you want a drink, go for it. If you want a soft drink, go for it. If you want a hot chocolate with marshmellows…GO FOR IT! You do you.
Have an awesome Easter weekend everyone, let's hope for some sunshine!!
I love this post as it's something I've been thinking about for a while now. It's great to know that it is possible to have a good night out without alcohol after all these years of being 'conditioned'! I'm going to try and do this more!

It's Messi vs. Ronaldo Again in Unlikely Saudi Reunion
FILE - FC Barcelona's Lionel Messi from Argentina, left, duels for the ball against Real Madrid's Cristiano Ronaldo, from Portugal, during their quarterfinal, second leg, Copa del Rey soccer match at the Camp Nou stadium, in Barcelona, Spain, Wednesday, Jan. 25, 2012. Cristiano Ronaldo, one of soccer's greatest ever players, was official unveiled for Saudi Arabian team Al Nassr on Tuesday, Jan. 3, 2023. (AP Photo/Manu Fernandez, File)
One of the greatest rivalries in soccer history is set to resume at the unlikely venue of Riyadh's King Fahd International Stadium.
The stage is set Thursday for Lionel Messi vs. Cristiano Ronaldo when Messi's Paris Saint-Germain takes on a combined XI of Saudi Arabian teams Al Nassr and Al Hilal in an exhibition match.
Riyadh is where Ronaldo has decided to base possibly the final years of his storied career after signing a deal worth a reported $200 million-a-year to join Al Nassr.
The game against Messi and PSG offers a reminder of the Portugal international's glory days before Ronaldo focuses on Al Nassr's domestic title challenge and bid to qualify for the Asian Champions League.
The Messi-Ronaldo rivalry was never greater than when they played for Barcelona and Real Madrid, respectively, and their scoring feats saw the players dominate Spanish and European soccer.
The showdown with Messi in these circumstances would have been unthinkable just a year ago when Ronaldo was still scoring with regularity for an albeit struggling Manchester United team.
Messi and Ronaldo have experienced vastly differing fortunes over the last 12 months. Messi finally won the World Cup with Argentina in December. Ronaldo was dropped by club and country, had his United contract terminated and eventually joined Al Nassr in one of the most surprising moves in soccer history.
It will be Ronaldo's first action in Saudi Arabia after serving a two-match suspension issued by the English Football Association for slapping a mobile phone out of the hand of a fan after a match between Man United and Everton last April.
His debut for Saudi league leader Al Nassr is set for Sunday against Ettifaq.
Ronaldo will not be short on motivation when coming up against Messi and an all-star PSG team which could also include Kylian Mbappe and Neymar.
He has already been handed his trademark No. 7 shirt and the armband in what feels like a fitting way to kick off his latest adventure.
It will be a chance to make a statement against some of the best players in the world, as opposed to who he will face in the Saudi league, which represents a step down after his career in elite European soccer.
The 37-year-old forward, who was presented to Al Nassr's supporters to great fanfare earlier this month, is facing questions over his ability to rediscover his form after a disappointing first half of the season for United and an underwhelming World Cup.
Ronaldo managed only three goals in 16 appearances for United before his explosive interview with Piers Morgan, in which he criticized manager Erik ten Hag and the club's owners, led to the termination of his contract.
With an opportunity to put himself on the market at the World Cup, he was dropped by Portugal as his country suffered a shock elimination by Morocco in the quarterfinals and likely ended his last chance of winning the one major trophy that has eluded him. Ronaldo did become the first men's player to score at five different World Cups.
Messi is also aiming to win back-to-back French league titles with PSG and could yet lead the Paris club to its first Champions League success.
While Ronaldo said he rejected offers from around the world to join Al Nassr, it is not known if any interest came from Europe's biggest clubs.
The Saudi move is likely to take him out of the spotlight for the first time since he established himself in his first spell at United in 2003.
The Riyadh Season Cup, which is at stake on Thursday, will at least be an opportunity to showcase his talent in a match likely to attract widespread interest given his rivalry with Messi as the two finest players of their generation. Between them they have shared 12 Ballon d'Or awards — Messi seven, Ronaldo five.
Ronaldo has the edge in the Champions League, winning European club soccer's biggest trophy five times, compared to Messi's four.
In total they have won 56 major trophies between them, which has made it so difficult to separate them when trying to determine who is the greatest of their generation.
However, Messi's inspirational performances in leading Argentina to the World Cup trophy in Qatar in December strengthens his case to have the edge on his great rival.
Nothing that happens on Thursday in Riyadh is likely to move the dial either way on that argument. It could, however, offer Ronaldo the chance to remind his doubters that he can still go toe-to-toe with Messi.
Latvia Τhreatens Olympic Βoycott if Russians Compete
RIGA, Latvia— Latvia has threatened to boycott next year's Paris Olympics if Russian athletes are allowed to take part during the war in Ukraine and is calling on other countries to form a coalition to pressure international sports bodies.

Q: Bitrise is trying to code sign an embedded framework with wrong provisioning profile My iOS project has an embedded framework. I am trying to build it on Bitrise, but it fails because it tries to code sign this framework with the same provisioning profile as the actual project.
This is the error it produces (split onto separate lines for readability):
❌  Code Sign error: Provisioning profile does not match bundle identifier:
The provisioning profile specified in your build settings
("Profile Name") has an AppID of "com.example.mainidentity"
which does not match your bundle identifier
"com.example.frameworkidentity".

I've tried it with Force code signing with Provisioning Profile, with Force code signing with Identity, without either and various other permutations. Changing the Code Signing Identity from iOS Developer to Don't Code Sign in the framework's Build Settings. Etc.
I've left Code Sign on Copy on in the Build Phases of the main project.
Nothing seems to work.
It's my understanding that an embedded framework should just sign with the iOS Developer identity as you archive a project.
-
The project archive's fine on my local machine.
Environment & info:
Using a workspace, the embedded framework does have it's own pods, as does the main project.
I'm using Xcode 7.3 on OS X 10.11.6
The provisioning profile is an iOS UniversalDistribution type one.
The Bitrise workflow is using:

*

*Certificate and profile installer - 1.7.0

*Xcode: Create Archive - 1.9.2
If any other info is needed or anything needs clarifying let me know!
Thank you!!

A: You should not use "Force code signing with Provisioning Profile" in this case, as that (this is simply an option passed to Xcode) will force that specific profile to be used for every part of the project!
You can find more information here: https://bitrise-io.github.io/devcenter/ios/code-signing/#full-manual-full-control
TL;DR; don't use a full Provisioning Profile ID, rather use "Force Identity" if you really have to (and maybe just a category for Force Prov Profile, like "iPhone Distribution"), Xcode will figure out which profile to use, based on the Identity and bundle IDs etc.
That said, since Xcode 7 the recommended way is to use "Export Options Plist", and in Xcode 8 if you opt-in for automatic code signing that's your only option. In short, the recommended way is to do an initial signing with development code signing, and then specify the "export method" for Xcode (in case of Bitrise this is an option of the Xcode Archive step). The only this to note here is that you need both development and distribution certs & profiles to be available. But once you do, selecting the right one for distribution is as easy as setting the "export method" option (Xcode Archive step) to the type you want to use (e.g. ad-hoc or app-store).
More info: https://bitrise-io.github.io/devcenter/ios/code-signing/#using-export-options-available-for-xcode-7-and-xcode-archive-step-v191
P.S.: if you'd want to migrate to the new code signing options you should reset the inputs you previously specified - probably the fastest way, if you use the Web UI, is to remove the Xcode Archive step, and then add a new one to the same spot.

Brian Austin Green on the New '90210'
The musically inclined 'Beverly Hills, 90210' star explains his new life and meta '90210' reboot
by Gayle Carter, AARP, August 6, 2019
After nearly 20 years, Brian Austin Green returns to his old zip code in the new BH90210. It premieres Aug. 7 at 9 p.m. ET on Fox. Green, who played David Silver for 10 years, tells AARP why he never expected to return there, and where he's at in life today.
What's the 2019 BH90210 show about?
We — playing the actors from Beverly Hills, 90210 — go to a 30-year reunion, and we decide to do a reboot of the show. So BH90210 is a show within a show within a show. It's like Curb your Enthusiasm, with real Seinfeld creator Larry David, but that's not his house or his office or his wife. That's been embellished. He's playing a heightened version of himself. We're all heightened versions of our real selves, so it's our characters doing a reboot of the show. It's like those Russian nesting dolls: "Oh look, there's another." And you go, "There can't be another one." And then you open it up and there's another doll.
Does the cast still feel bonded?
You have all the history with the people, but you have a wife and kids now, so you have more in common. It only strengthens the connection.
Why isn't it filmed in Beverly Hills?
At first I was, like, "You can't shoot BH90210 in Vancouver!" I was all cocky. But then I realized we shot 90210 for 10 years in Van Nuys — zip code 91403. They shot CSI:NY on the L.A. Paramount lot. That's the magic of Hollywood. They can make any place seem like any place.
Was it like summer camp, as Ian Ziering [BH90210 's Steve Sanders] claims?
We all complain about being in Vancouver. But the reality is that we wouldn't have the connection that we have now doing the show in L.A. Because at the end of the day, we would just go home to our families. We are forced, in a really enjoyable way, to have dinner with each other and go on walks.
How did the death of 90210's Luke Perry in March affect you?
There's a hole for us as actors doing the show; there's a hole for us as people. There are amazing memories. It's really hard to realize we won't get to speak to him again. On some days, it's really hard. You can speak about him sometimes and cry, and sometimes you don't. It hits you in waves. I'm so grateful that I had him in my life because he was special.
What's it like being married to Megan Fox?
She just keeps me on my toes. There are days when you're, like, "I don't want to work out today." But that doesn't mean you shouldn't. It just means you're not in the right headspace. My wife pushes me with my relationships, with the kids, with my health. She's so inspirational. I want to stay as young and attractive as I can for her. She deserves to be with someone she's attracted to.
How does it feel to be approaching 50?
My metabolism has changed. I can't just eat whatever I want anymore. Megan has made me aware of gluten, dairy. There are things we have to be aware of now that we didn't have to be aware of then. Things evolve and change, and you have to evolve with them. You have to pay attention to what the new studies are. You have to do your research. We have a trainer. We deal with weights and a lot of cardio work. I want to be able to have fun and climb with my kids and my wife, and swim and play and not feel out of breath. I want to stay on top of it as long as I can.
Your 90210 character is musical — does music run in your family?
When I was born, my dad was a country-western drummer touring with Glen Campbell. When you're touring, you're making good money. When you're not, the money goes down. He's still a drummer. I have a studio at home. I do it for me. I haven't really made any money from One Stop Carnival [his 1996 hip-hop album]. When I started doing 90210, my dad was my manager and my mother was my business manager. So they made really good money because I was making good money. Now he can play drums with whatever bands he wants. The house is paid off. They have money in the bank. They are really blessed that way.
You joined 90210 at 17. Would you let your son start an acting career?
My 17-year-old [Noah, with 90210 costar Vanessa Marcil] loves acting. Ian was, like, "Let him know that you'll totally support him as long as he has a plan B." God, I didn't have a plan B. I've been acting since I was 9. I had to finish high school and then I was on 90210.
Where will you go when you quit acting?
I was born and raised in North Hollywood. My wife and my family and I really love Hawaii, but that's more a retirement plan.
You have no post- 90210 job lined up — are you worried?
I've pretty much worked regularly since 90210 — seven other shows. These things I never would have seen coming. Megan and I had just gotten married, and I got a call: "Marc Cherry wants to meet with you." The creator of Desperate Housewives. I never in a million years would have seen that coming. I did that show for a year and a half.
Besides acting, what are you good at?
I like to think I'm mediocre at a bunch of things instead of really good at one. Handy around the house, good with electronics and computers. If you need a plumber, hire a plumber. But I can figure out a leak in a pipe and fix it. I'm not the best piano player, but I grew up playing it. I wouldn't take anyone's money. I'm getting into gardening. I'm really interested in what helps things grow, and what is important. All these things, as my life slows down a little bit, that you don't take for granted.
What's the worst thing about parenthood?
There's a place called the Craft Bar. I'm so happy it's there and not at my house. I'm a bit OCD. Glitter to me is one of the worst inventions ever. It stays in your home for weeks, if not months. I go to work and people say, "There's glitter on your cheek." Glitter shows up everywhere: on your cheeks, on your eyeballs, inside my nose, it finds its way everywhere.
What's your mantra for life?
"Luck is preparation meets opportunity." That's been true for me.

Means that the file was recorder at 2016/12/02 14:55:51 UTC with center frequency in 1691 MHz and Sample rate of 1.25MHz.
That's basically the main signal for the end user. It provides more data than EMWIN (almost everything that the satellite can give is broadcasted here) and with higher resolution. It also provides full disk images of the earth in Infrared, Visible and Water Vapour. It is decodable using a 1.5m prime focus dish (or 1.2m offset dish) with a good feed. I have some samples with my 1.9m dish and 2.2m dish. Both are good enough to decode and no RS Errors at most of the time. The signal is modulated using BPSK with 293883 symbols / sec with CCSDS Standard Framing.
That's the easiest signal to catch on GOES satellites. Its a low bandwidth signal that is easily picked up even with a 90cm dish (maybe even less). It doesn't transmit much data and doesn't transmit full disk images. It is modulated using OQPSK.
This is a rebroadcast from the Data Collection System (DCS). In the L Band (the recordings) its actually a translation repeater that gets a portion of the UHF Band and repeats in the L Band. The DCS Stations are in ground and sends all sets of data to the satellite using very directional yagis. I have basically no much info about it but feel free to test it.
GOES-16 is the next generation of GOES Satellites. At the time I'm writing this the satellite is still under test. For now all these samples should be treated as Test Data and may not reflect on the signals that will be on air when it gets out of the test phase.
That's the telemetry of GOES-16 Satellite. The Telemetry content is unknown so far, but the modulation is BPSK at 40ksps.

Q: Date object will return 1537865065664 on two Difference Date Object in java I want time difference in second using new Date().getTime() in java.
But i will return me long digit like this 1537865065664.
How can i get difference between two Date() object.
I will attached few part of my code below.
     Date starttime=new Date();
      long diff=  new Date().getTime() - starttime.getTime()
 System.out.println("hangupClicked New Time :: "+new Date().getTime()+" :: "+starttime.getTime());

Output ::
hangupClicked New Time :: 1537865248609 :: 1537865348612

A: The difference obtained using date1.getTime() - date2.getTime() is in milliseconds. You can divide the output by 1000 to get difference in seconds.
(date1.getTime() - date2.getTime())/1000;

A: new Date().getTime() returns time in milliseconds. So if you want in seconds, you need to divide the difference by 1000.
 Date starttime=new Date();
  long diff=  (new Date().getTime() - starttime.getTime())/1000;

A: java.time
    Instant startTime = Instant.now();
    Duration diff = Duration.between(startTime, Instant.now());
    System.out.println("Difference in seconds: " + diff.getSeconds());

This snippet just printed:
Difference in seconds: 0

This is as expected since there isn't a full second between the two calls to Instant.now().
What went wrong in your code?
You were calculating the difference in milliseconds between your two Date objects correctly. You did not print the difference and therefore never saw that it was correct. And you did not convert it to seconds.
To illustrate the first point I added this line to your code:
    System.out.println("diff (milliseconds):: " + diff);

Then I got this output from it:
hangupClicked New Time :: 1537890219204 :: 1537890219204
diff (milliseconds):: 0

That said, you shouldn't use Date in 2018. That class is long outdated and poorly designed at the same time. You should prefer to use java.time, the modern Java date and time API.

*All about java.util.Date on Jon Skeet's coding blog

A: If you want in second then divide the diff by 1000 then you will get in second. Date().getTime() return the value in milliseconds.

A: The return type of getTime() is milliseconds from 01-01-1970 to the specified date. So in order to get difference in seconds use below
(date.getTime() - date2.getTime())/1000;


There's that saying about not being able to go "back home". That's probably true, because one can never go back even while living there. Life, relationships, history  they are all in a flux. As the fountain in our back yard states: "You cannot step twice into the same river." The journey back, however, is always an intriguing attempt. I left Saint Francis on The Feast of Pentecost 2004, when I said my last mass there, and moved on. With the exception of one marriage ceremony, and a couple of concerts, I've not been back since that time.
The intervening period has been filled with all of Kübler-Ross' stages. There was immobilization (I don't think I'll go anywhere to church anymore), denial (I'll apply for the Sr. Pastor position), anger (I don't want to be around those people any longer), bargaining (what if I set up a semi-monastic group of men for prayer and Eucharist), testing (let's try out the Episcopal Church  you've been wanting to do that since forever), acceptance (going back and seeing that it's not home any longer). It has been a fruitful period in which I have been able to truly think through what I believe, what my ecclesial values are, and how I see my future going. This was the one step that helped confirm all of this.
A few days ago, at dinner with my good friend Tom Tragardh, we discussed my progress. He thought, and stated it rather bluntly (which is why I love Tom so much), that I had been too unbending in my staying away. "It's time to go back." And as he stated that, I realized that a great deal of my exile was really a manifestation of my anger at the situation, an emotion that had faithfully accompanied me my last two years at Saint Francis. The anger has dissipated, as well as the grief itself. I did want to go back  really I just wanted to sit next to Arthur in church again, and to see what it all felt like.
So Sunday, I went back. I knew that I had reached a stasis when I found the usual critique mode that almost always accompanies me when in any church, was absent. There were no mutterings under my breath about the liturgy, nor did boredom set in with the onset of the Sermon. There were, however, emotions. What truly overwhelmed me was how claustrophobic the whole place felt. Broader and bigger places (both physically and emotionally) had taken the place of St. Francis in my life. It was truly a curious sensation, not as if I were "slumming", but rather that my mind and soul were centered elsewhere. The usual was to be found elsewhere not here.
In the last sermon that I preached at Saint Francis, as in several of them following the departure of Pr. DeLange, and Pr. Stabb, I had urged the congregation to press for a more catholic approach. Not of form and ceremony, but of pursuing a sense of being involved in the wider church  of not "going it alone, being fiercely independent". That is a difficult task. I find the current impasse in the Anglican Communion over the growing African and Asian Churches and the Episcopal Church in the US almost refreshing. These are not parochial concerns that grab at my consciousness, but rather the emotions that surround the question of "How can we be the church?" "How can we walk together?" The claustrophobia of being an independent church is quiet and intimate, but it avoids the neighbor's religious issues.
I'm glad I went back. It helped me realize what progress I have made, made me see that I love all of those people in a totally different manner, and helped me to realize that I'm on the right path. There is a prayer in the Daily Office of the Lutheran Church. I'll close with it, because it is spot on. And I'll thank the new pastor and the people of Saint Francis for just being there  the place from where a new me has sprung!


George Foreman: "That's a good question".
It was a quarter of a century ago when the late Tommy Morrison boxed out of his skin, produced THE win of his career, boxed a masterpiece and overcame the odds to defeat a legend.
Which would crack first – Foreman's face (so badly had he been disfigured in the Stewart battle) or Morrison's chin?
In what was expected to be a violent slugfest, a boxing match broke out. Boxing with brains many critics knowingly claimed he never had, Morrison, sticking and moving, never let Foreman get set to do damage. It was far from a thrilling fight (no stinker either; engrossing until the very end) but the Bill Cayton-guided superstar in the making was, for one night only, looking like the best young heavyweight on the planet. How could Morrison be outboxing, defeating Foreman with far less of a struggle and a scare than the superior Holyfield had done two years earlier?
Foreman did manage to get home with the odd good punch – a crisp left hook to the head drawing some 'oohs and aahs' from the somewhat perplexed crowd in the last round – but this night was Morrison's. The scores were announced to a crowd that already knew who had won. Morrison, the WBO heavyweight champ, had socked it to Foreman as well as to the naysayers.
George, a most gracious loser (some said too gracious; did Foreman, who admittedly had a fondness for Tommy, take it easy on his young opponent?) whispered some words of wisdom into Morrison's ear, before going in search of some fried chicken. Cayton was all-smiles; Morrison was strangely reserved in victory.
All in all it was an odd night in Las Vegas. Tommy never again boxed so smartly, George never retired as most felt he would. Morrison was, by and large, unable to capitalise on the big, big win – instead losing badly to Lennox Lewis and then tragically being infected with HIV. Morrison did pull off a fine and thrilling win over "Razor" Ruddock a couple of years later but he had, so surprisingly, peaked both mentally and physically as a boxer on the evening of June 7 1993.
Tommy's boxing masterpiece lives on.

Christina Aguilera Bio
Christina Aguilera (born December 18, 1980) is an American Singer, songwriter, and Actress. In the early 1990s, she appeared on television series Star Search and The Mickey Mouse Club. In 1998, Aguilera signed with RCA Records and recorded her self-titled debut album, which was released in 1999. The album was a commercial success in the United States, spawning three U.S. Billboard Hot 100 number-one singles—"Genie in a Bottle", "What a Girl Wants", and "Come On Over Baby (All I Want Is You)", and helped Aguilera win the Grammy Award for Best New Artist. In 2000, RCA released Aguilera's Spanish-language album Mi Reflejo and holiday-theme album My Kind of Christmas. Her 2002 fourth studio album, Stripped, ventured into various genres including hip hop, Latin, and rock, and won a Grammy Award for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance for its second single "Beautiful".
Aguilera's 2006 fifth studio album, Back to Basics, was inspired by blues, soul, and jazz Music of the 1920s-40s. The album peaked at number one on record charts of Thirteen countries and won a Grammy Award for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance for its first single "Ain't No Other Man". In 2010, RCA released Aguilera's electronic-influenced album, Bionic, which failed to match the success of her previous albums; later that year, she starred in her first film Burlesque. The following year, Aguilera was featured on Maroon 5's top-ten single "Moves like Jagger" and became an original coach on the U.S. television series The Voice, having since appeared on five of its nine seasons. Her 2012 seventh studio album, Lotus, became the lowest-selling album of her career. However, she later experienced rehabilitated commercial success in 2013, being featured on the top-ten singles "Feel This Moment" and "Say Something", which won a Grammy Award for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance.
Aguilera has been recognized as a pop icon and earned the title "Princess of Pop". Her work has earned numerous awards and accolades, including five Grammy Awards, one Latin Grammy Award, and a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. As of 2014, she has sold over 17.9 million albums in the United States; Over 50 million albums and 100 million records sold worldwide. In 2009, Rolling Stone ranked her at number 58 on their list of 100 Greatest Singers of All Time. Billboard recognized her as the twentieth most successful artist of the 2000s, and Time listed Aguilera among the top 100 Most Influential People in the World of 2013. Besides her work in the entertainment industry, Aguilera is involved in charitable activities through human rights, world issues, and her work as a UN ambassador for the World Food Programme.
1980–98: Early life and career beginnings
Christina María Aguilera was born in Staten Island, New York on December 18, 1980, to Shelly Loraine (née Fidler), a musician, and Fausto Xavier Aguilera, a United States Army soldier. Her father is Ecuadorian, while her mother has German, Irish, Welsh, and Dutch ancestry. Her family moved frequently because of her father's military service, and lived in places including New Jersey, Texas, New York, and Japan. Aguilera and her mother alleged that her father was physically and emotionally abusive, claims which he denied; Aguilera used Music as a form of escape from her turbulent household. Following her parents' divorce when she was six years old, Aguilera, her younger sister Rachel, and her mother (who later remarried) moved into her grandmother's home in the Pittsburgh suburb of Rochester, Pennsylvania. After several years of being estranged, Aguilera expressed interest in reconciling with her father in 2012.
Growing up, Aguilera aspired to be a Singer, known locally as "the little girl with the big voice", singing in local talent shows and competitions. She won her first talent show at the age of 8, in which she performed Whitney Houston's "I Wanna Dance with Somebody (Who Loves Me)". In 1990, she appeared on Star Search singing "A Sunday Kind of Love", and was eliminated during the semi-final rounds. She later performed the same song during an appearance on Pittsburgh's KDKA-TV's Wake Up with Larry Richert. Throughout her youth in Pittsburgh, Aguilera sang "The Star-Spangled Banner" before Pittsburgh Penguins hockey, Pittsburgh Steelers Football and Pittsburgh Pirates baseball games, in addition to the 1992 Stanley Cup Finals. She attended Rochester Area School District in Rochester and Marshall Middle School near Wexford, and briefly attended North Allegheny Intermediate High School before being home schooled due to bullying.
In 1991, Aguilera auditioned for a position on The Mickey Mouse Club, although she did not meet its age requirements. She joined the television series two years later, where she performed musical numbers and sketch comedy until its cancellation in 1994. Her co-stars included Ryan Gosling, Keri Russell, Britney Spears, and Justin Timberlake. When she was fourteen, Aguilera recorded her first song, the duet "All I Wanna Do" with Japanese Singer Keizo Nakanishi. She later sent her cover version of Houston's "Run to You" to Walt Disney Pictures in hopes of being selected to record the theme song "Reflection" for their animated film Mulan (1998). "Reflection" peaked at number 19 on the U.S. Billboard Adult Contemporary Chart, and was nominated for a Golden Globe Award for Best Original Song, which went to "The Prayer" by Celine Dion and Andrea Bocelli.
1999–2000: Christina Aguilera, Mi Reflejo and My Kind of Christmas
After recording "Reflection", Aguilera signed with RCA Records and the label quickly began coordinating her debut album, which was set to be released in 1999. The final product, Aguilera's self-titled debut album, was released in August 1999. The album was a commercial success in the United States, peaking at number one on the Billboard 200 and was certified octuple platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for having shipped eight million copies. It has sold over 8.2 million copies in the United States and 17 million copies worldwide. The album's lead single, "Genie in a Bottle", peaked atop the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 and record charts of twenty other countries. It became the top-selling debut single of 1999 in the United States, selling over 1.4 million units. Follow-up singles "What a Girl Wants" and "Come On Over Baby (All I Want Is You)" also topped the Billboard Hot 100, while single "I Turn to You" reached number three. At the 42nd Annual Grammy Awards in February 2000, Aguilera won the Grammy Award for Best New Artist.
Aguilera's second studio album, Mi Reflejo, which contains Spanish versions of "Reflection" and her first four singles from her debut album alongside new Spanish material, was released in September 2000. Producer Rudy Pérez, with whom Aguilera recorded the album, noted that Aguilera did not speak Spanish fluently when recording the album, but understood the language, having grown up with an Ecuadorian father. The record topped the Billboard Top Latin Albums for nineteen consecutive weeks, and was certified sextuple platinum in the Latin field by the RIAA. It has sold 480,000 units in the United States, and has moved three million copies worldwide. Mi Reflejo won a Latin Grammy Award for Best Female Pop Vocal Album and two Billboard Latin Music Awards for Pop Album of the Year by a Female Artist and Pop Album of the Year by a New Artist in 2001. Aguilera's Christmas-theme third studio album, My Kind of Christmas, released in October 2000, reached number 28 on the Billboard 200 and has sold over one million copies in the United States. In December 2000, Billboard recognized Aguilera as the Top Female Pop Act of the Year. In support of her albums, Aguilera embarked on her first concert tour, Christina Aguilera in Concert, beginning in May 2000 in the United States. During the tour, Aguilera dated Jorge Santos, a Dancer whom she hired.
Despite her international success with first three studio albums, Aguilera was dissatisfied with the Music and image her management Steve Kurtz had created for her, having been marketed as a bubblegum pop Singer because of the genre's upward financial trend. Aguilera's views of Kurtz's influence in matters of her creative direction, the role of being her exclusive personal manager, and over-scheduling had in part caused her to seek legal means of terminating their management contract. In October 2000, Aguilera filed a breach of fiduciary duty lawsuit against Kurtz for improper, undue and inappropriate influence over her professional activities, as well as fraud.
