Q: Background image transition with fadeIn fadeOut effects on page load without any bindings to events I would like to implement a background image transition effect using jquery. The images should change from one to the other with a fadeIn fadeOut effect. The image names are in the database but retrieved from a folder on my PC.I want the transition to take place automatically without listening to any events like click events.
This is my trial code from the php page to the js page.
This is getImages.php
<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL ^ E_NOTICE);

require_once("Connections/imageconn.php");

mysql_select_db($database_imageconn,$imageconn);
$sql1=mysql_query("SELECT * FROM images WHERE ImageID=1",$imageconn)or die(mysql_error());
$numofrows=mysql_num_rows($sql1);
$image_one=mysql_fetch_assoc($sql1);
$img1=$image_one['Image_name'];

$sql2=mysql_query("SELECT * FROM images WHERE ImageID=2",$imageconn)or die(mysql_error());
$numofrows=mysql_num_rows($sql2);
$image_two=mysql_fetch_assoc($sql2);
$img2=$image_two['Image_name'];

$sql3=mysql_query("SELECT * FROM images WHERE ImageID=3",$imageconn)or die(mysql_error());
$numofrows=mysql_num_rows($sql3);
$image_three=mysql_fetch_assoc($sql3);

$data['imageone']=$img1;
$data['imagetwo']=$img2;
$data['imagethree']=$img3;
$data['imagefour']=$img4;

echo json_encode($data);
?>

This is images.php
$(document).ready(function(){
    $.post("getImage.php",{},function(data){

            $("#response").toggle(function(){
                  $(this).html("");
                },function()
                {
                  $(this).html("");
                },function()
                {
                  $(this).html("");

                  $(this).html("");
                });

        },"json");
});

Any help would be appreciated.

A: Given a DOM structure like:

var i = 0;
var number = $('.wrapper img').size();
var tabtimer = self.setInterval(function() {
  crossFade(i);
  i++;
  if (i == number + 1){ i = 0}
},
8000);

function crossFade(i){
  $('.wrapper img:visible').fadeOut();
  $('.wrapper img:nth-child('+i+')').fadeIn();
};

A: This will iterate over your JSON properties, create the 's in the DOM and then fade them in and out with a 1 second delay between each.
var idx = 0;
for (var i in data) {

    // Create the image DOM elements
    var img = $('');
    img.css({opacity: 0});

    // Add them to their container
    $('#response').append(img);

    // Set fadeIn/Out delays
    var delay = idx++ * 1000;
    img.delay(delay).fadeIn();
    img.delay(delay + 1000).fadeOut();
}

You may have noticed the well of content at Chicagoings has been a little dry lately, and not just here on the website but on social media too.
During these last three months I've been immersing myself in two tasks crucial to any writer worth her Tumi; reading and traveling. Last year I hit a travel wall, so to speak. It's my goal this year to break through it.
Can a smell wake you up? Coffee and custard are what the air smelled like that day. I woke one morning to an all-white room full of linen and sunshine and the aroma of Lisbon, and I thought, why am I here? This wasn't an existential crisis, although I am now at an age where I'm fully entitled to such a meltdown. This was more a longing for purpose in my travel. Literally, why was I there, and what effort had I made to be improved. Like you, I don't travel for Instagram. I travel to see the world through the eyes of people whose experiences are different from my own, to see things I've never seen and to be humbled and hopefully made better. But it was under the French doored balcony of my bedroom in Portugal, above a pastry shop serving pastel de nata, that I thought, I've lost my way.
This year, I intend to travel in the way my parents taught me — with a purpose. There will be fewer photographers and more language tutors. I'm keeping the spa days, but we'll also do some volunteering. The latter I'm not posting for obvious reasons, but we can talk about it here. Any questions you have, ask them. I'm responding to all legitimate inquiries in 2019. Any tips you'd like to share, I'm listening and sharing with the class because a lot of you are professional adventurers. Teach me your ways. This year, expect less of me on the gram, and more you — but me too 'cause sometimes I be feelin cute.
For February, we're touring Paris (and surprisingly skipping the Eiffel Tower), hiking through the Grand Canyon, and we may even go cave climbing in Portugal. Of course, the overwhelming theme will be Chicago, a city that's expecting 50-degree weather Monday after experiencing a record-breaking -50-degree windchill only three days prior. For better or worse, there's no city like this one.
So, stay tuned and get involved. I've missed you.


My lady and our 5 girls, single malts, big game hunting with a pointy stick, downhill skiing, things that go bang, breathing underwater, adding value to entrepreneurial endevours.

@FatherOfPugs, this is awesome. Cherish the moment, the time each of my girls was born is among my greatest memories. I'll guess May 23rd at 0352 Are you going to set aside a box with the date code of the birth? I have a box of Sir Winston set aside with the month of my latest daughter's birthdate.
Exhibition #4 MCS FEB 06- very nice smoke.
Markspring1978 posted a topic in Cigars Discussion Forum "the water hole"
I was pretty excited about this smoke. The Genios/Robusto Extra (52x140) is my favorite size, the Connie A most notably, and that's what the Hermitage comes in at. The wrapper is smooth and a lovely rosado color. I decided to pair this with a 2012 LBV Port. The serious port drinkers here like @Ken Gargett and @BrightonCorgi would likely not be impressed with my selection, but hey, here in Montana it's slim pickings for Port. A cold draw yielded aromas of cedar and barnyard. However, I could tell right away that this cigar might have construction issues as the draw was just off. This fella is just about 18 months old, I was concerned about it being too young, this is the first I have smoked from this box. I keep my humidor at 65%, I did not drybox before smoking. After lighting up I was immediately greeted with all the markers of a cigar that is too young; bitterness with a slightly sweet aftertaste, a bit like walnuts, although not exactly in a good sense. Over the first 1/3 the bitterness was also very tannic and dried my mouth out and I was left with an aftertaste of minerals and ash. The burn was really poor and uneven with the draw exacerbating the subpar flavors. As the first third moved into the second, I was encouraged to start to get some positive notes of dark chocolate and toasted tobacco. But they were more whiffs than full flavors. The lousy burn persisted and I had to re-light about 6 times. As I came down the home-stretch on the second third, nothing had given me too much to be excited about. This included the 38 degree temperatures and landscape of snow on my porch. So, I called it a day. So, you're probably picking up on a general dissatisfaction in this smoke. I was excited about this one, and it was pretty much a complete disappointment. These definitely need more time down, and hopefully that will improve them. As this stands right now I would rate this a 6 out of 10 or a 63 out of 100.
Markspring1978 replied to Markspring1978's topic in Cigars Discussion Forum "the water hole"
Picked one up, have been meaning to for some time. Perhaps because I live in Montana where it's pretty dry, I rarely experience draw issues. I keep my humidor at 65/65. My thought was unlucky run.
@FatherOfPugs - I have been thinking about a future box pass that has a whiskey element, not whole bottles, just samples. Something to think about... Anyway, a couple pickups in Vegas. Whiskey selection in Montana is lousy.
I stored the cigars in a small Pelican hard case with a 65% Boveda. Interesting comments, I suppose that it is possible that the higher temps in Vegas caused more moisture to be released and that may have resulted in higher MC in the cigars. As there were no issues the day before, I didn't consider that, but possible. Hindsight, I would have dryboxed and then traveled with no Boveda. Had an awesome trip, except for day 2 with the cigars. I bet on Texas Tech straight up, and that worked out well. Took Auburn with the points, so that worked out as well, even though everyone is sure to remind me of what a wus I am. Also took a trip to Top Golf, we don't have those in Montana. What a blast!
Had a great weekend in Vegas for a friend's bachelor party. Saturday was a great cigar day, excellent '16 Connie A, an '09 Choix, and a '15 Mag 56. All were remarkable cigars. Sunday was officially my worst cigar day ever. Started with a '15 Punch DC, intending to do a review for the weekend comp. Was really looking forward to this smoke, unfortunately it was plugged and after 30 minutes I had a terrible headache and gave up. After an hour or so, the banging subsided in my head, I lit up a '17 CoRo. Couldn't believe the same result. Plugged. I tried to hang in there, but the cigar was a disaster. Completely blew apart, terrible burn. That night I lit up a '15 Party E2, hoping to end on a positive note. Couldn't believe it, third plugged in a row. Not as bad as the DC and CoRo, but still not good. I guess it was bad luck. Fortunately, the previous day was awesome, and my bad luck was only with cigars, and didn't extend to the craps table!

Reds Head Coach Lee Johnson and striker Sam Winnall have been nominated for the Sky Bet League One Manager and Player of the Month Award for January, respectively.
Here is the list of Managers and Players up for the January Award.
A busy month for Caldwell's men with 12 points gained from six unbeaten matches. Their attacking threat at the DW Stadium was evident as they scored three goals in each of their four home games to move up to fourth.
Taking over a successful side can be tricky, returning to a former club even more so. Clough has cleverly made the transition without disturbing the balance at Burton. Nine points from five games kept Albion on course for automatic promotion.
Having carefully built the foundations and player trust during his previous 10 months at The Den, he moved Millwall into the Play-Off picture in January by overseeing three victories and a draw in five matches.
Continued the momentum his side built up in December by leading them to a perfect record of five wins from five with a 13-2 goal differential. Has his team playing fluent passing football to which they have added a steely edge.
A second straight nomination for the lynchpin of a defence which let in just three goals in six games, including fixtures against the top three. His goalline clearance preserved the win over Gillingham and he also scored against Scunthorpe United.
Smooth as silk in January, influencing games with his willingness to run at players and his eye for a pass. Followed up a lovely strike against Bradford City with a perfect assist at Doncaster Rovers and a late winner at home to Peterborough United.
Almost single-handedly carried Vale's goalscoring burden with four of their five goals, which accounted for seven points, including away wins at Blackpool and Doncaster. His pace and nippy movement were a constant worry for defenders.
Form streaks don't come much better than this. Seven goals and two assists were rewards for his direct running and bravery in the box. His goal tally included a perfect right foot, left foot, header hat-trick in the 6-1 win over Rochdale.


The move is being seen part of the BJP's overall aim to establish Vajpayee in the top league of national icons.
NEW DELHI: With the aim to cash in on the legacy of Atal Bihari Vajpayee, a group with past links to the BJP is planning to hold a musical story-telling programme on the former prime minister's life across the country in the run-up to the 2019 Lok Sabha elections.
With digitised speeches and poem recitals of Vajpayee at its disposal, the group will narrate the late PM's stories in musical form to connect with the youth, who are seen to hold the key to the fortunes of the political outfits in the 2019 elections.
"We have formed Gyan Foundation, which will take off from the campaign run by Youth for BJP. The group consists of members drawn from professional services, including IT sector. We are planning to hold the musical Atal Gatha, which will be sung by renowned Ramayana story-teller Ajay Bhai," said Virendra Sachdev, a member of Gyan Foundation who is also part of the BJP's good governance cell.
Sumit Bhasin, founder of the Foundation, said the group had full treasure of digitised records of speeches, portraits, poems and key moments of Vajpayee. "We had earlier founded Youth for BJP to build base for the party for the 2014 Lok Sabha elections and worked to rope in youth from across the country. We have a strong network of professionals who were keen to launch another campaign for the 2019 Lok Sabha elections. The life and achievements of Vajpayee make quite a vibrant story to be told musically to the people across the country," added Bhasin.
The group has roped in Ajai Bhai for musical renditions on Vajpayee in a concise form in two hours' time.
The group held the first musical rendition of Atal Gatha in the national capital in the presence of several Union Ministers. The move is being seen part of the BJP's overall aim to establish Vajpayee in the top league of national icons.

On the evening of Wednesday 6th March, PCS Dance & Drama took 45 students to watch Chicago School edition at the Old Market Theatre in Hove.
This was performed by Brighton Theatre Group-Youth, and it was a phenomenal performance. They have children from 11-18 within their company and they all performed their characters exceptionally.
We also had three current students in the play: James, last seen playing Danny in the PCS performance of Grease, performing the lead role of Billy Flynn. James did a fantastic job in this role showing off his skills in acting, singing and dancing.
Bailey,who also appeared in Grease as Kenickie, showed his versatility playing the other male lead: sorrowful, loyal Amos Hart gaining sympathy 'awws' from the audience, and Evie Turner, who played Frenchie in the PCS production of Grease, was one of the dancers performing quick and challenging dances.
It was also fantastic to see many of our ex-students (Beth, Emma, Beth) who also appeared in featured roles. The whole show had such professionalism, with high production values all round. Their next show is Chitty Chitty Bang Bang which will be performed at The Theatre Royal in August.

Believers Forced to Worship China's Only God – President Xi
12/04/2019 Wang Yong
Xi Jinping's personality cult is reaching unparalleled heights as his portraits replace religious symbols not only in places of worship but believers' homes too.
by Wang Yong
In its drive to eradicate religions, China's totalitarian regime relentlessly demolishes places of worship, converts temples, mosques, and churches into government-run centers, where religious symbols are replaced with portraits of the country's president and propaganda materials.
In Shaanxi Province, two temples – Bodhisattva Temple (left) and Laoye Temple – were repurposed and converted into cultural activity centers. Buddhists symbols have been replaced with portraits of Xi Jinping.
While losing their places of worship, the religious are not allowed to practice their faith even in the privacy of their homes: Official raid their residences to remove crosses and images of saints and deities, ordering to replace them with the only divinity allowed to be worshiped in China –President Xi Jinping.
Moreover, people are threatened to have their government subsidies revoked if orders are not implemented. Initially introduced as a means to help the disadvantaged to maintain a basic annual income, the subsistence allowance for impoverished households is now used by the CCP as a tool to coerce believers into renouncing their faith. People find themselves in an impossible situation: to continue practicing their religion or lose the only source of income to sustain their livelihood.
A poster with the cross in a Christian's home was torn down and replaced with a portrait of Xi Jinping.
"We received orders from higher-ups to remove crosses and religious couplets in the homes of believers, otherwise, we'll revoke your allowance for impoverished households and other subsidies," a local official intimidated a believer in her sixties at her home in Jiujiang, a city in the southeastern province of Jiangxi, in August. The woman had no choice but to take off a poster with an image of the cross.
"Two days later, the village secretary came to my house to hang a portrait of Xi Jinping," recalled the believer.
Similarly, another Christian in the area had a religious poster replaced with a portrait of Xi Jinping, painted in the style of the Mao Zedong era. The incident caused much stress for the woman who is in her seventies, and she had to be hospitalized.
According to a believer from Hengfeng county, administered by Jiangxi's Shangrao city, in June, she was asked to hang a portrait of Xi Jinping in her house next to a poster with an image of the cross. During a subsequent inspection by local government officials, the believer was rebuked: "President Xi comes first. Take off the poster of the cross!"
From August to October, government officials visited numerous homes of believers in rural areas of Jiangxi Province, disguised as inspections related to the nationwide poverty alleviation campaign. Instead, they removed religious posters and symbols, replacing them with portraits of Xi Jinping.
"Since you are receiving support from Xi Jinping, you have to hang his portrait. He is number one in China. You have to do as required!" officials intimidated believers during visits.
"The cross represents our faith. It is a symbol of salvation and sacrifice," a local Christian told Bitter Winter with anguish. "Believers are forced to put up portraits of Xi Jinping, to replace the Lord in our hearts with him. We don't want to do this but don't dare to disobey, fearing that the government may find this out, and we'll get into trouble."
Religious symbols in believers' homes were destroyed and replaced with portraits of Xi Jinping and Mao Zedong.
A believer who depends on the subsistence allowance to sustain her livelihood said that she hadn't been to her church for over a month. "The village secretary threatens to revoke our subsistence allowance if we continue to meet, demanding us to follow what the Party tells us to do. This is happening across the county; many believers are experiencing the same situation as us."

There were a number of top tier players that were lost throughout the season due to catastrophic injuries, but there were a few that distinguished themselves from the rest of the pack. Those will be the individuals we focus on as we give out our annual awards for the standout players for the 2017-2018 season.
We embrace debate here are Virile, so let us know if you agree with our picks.
Not since the 1999-2000 NBA season has there been co-winners of this award (it has happened only three times in NBA history), but Ben Simmons and Donovan Mitchell will make it the fourth time that this award is split between two players.
Ben Simmons was heavily favored to win this award prior to the season starting. He missed all what would have been his rookie season in 2016-2017 due to injury, but he was considered to be a once in a lifetime type of player who many see as the one guy who would carry the torch after LeBron James eventually retires.
Add to the fact that he is paired with exceptional big man Joel Embiid, the expectation was that Simmons would make a huge splash in the league, and did he ever!
A 6'10 point forward, it's easy to see a combination of Magic Johnson and LeBron James mixed in his game. He impressed with a stat line of 16/8/8 while shooting well over 50% from the field. And more importantly, he led the Sixers to the 3rd seed in the Eastern Conference. There's starting to be some rumblings that the Sixers may be equipped to end LeBron James's reign in the Eastern Conference, and a lot has to do with Ben Simmons's play.
On the flip side, Donovan Mitchell entered this season with not a lot of hype. The expectations weren't very high for the Utah Jazz after losing their best player, Gordon Hayward, to the Boston Celtics in free agency. But it became apparent very quickly that the Jazz would be fine with Hayward no longer in the picture.
Mitchell not only asserted himself as the team's best offensive player with an impressive stat line of 20.5 points per game to go along with four rebounds and four assist, but he led the Jazz to the 5th seed in the ultra-competitive Western Conference. That speaks volumes on his impact.
Both players displayed season long growth that resulted in both of their teams exceeding expectations, and it's fitting that they both get the award for the best rookies in this year's class.
Never has there been a back-to-back winner of this award, but Mike D'Antoni will become the first in the NBA's long history.
D'Antoni led the Houston Rockets to the NBA's best record, second best scoring offense, and improved defensively by allowing five fewer points per game to their opponents than the 2016-2017 season.
All this while their two best players, James Harden and newly acquired Chris Paul, missed over 30 games due to injury combined. The Rockets have cemented themselves as a serious threat to end the Golden State Warriors run as Western Conference champs, and have a legitimate shot to win the franchises 3rd NBA Championship.
The blockbuster trade that sent Paul George to the Oklahoma City Thunder was seen as a move that put the Thunder in the championship conversation, and pretty much signaled that the Pacers were in rebuild mode.
Well there was no rebuilding going on in Indiana. The Pacers in the deal received Victor Oladipo; a player with a lot of potential but hasn't quite shown what he could do in his previous stints in Orlando and Oklahoma City.
Oladipo unleased his full potential and established career highs in points per game (23.1), rebounds (5.2), assist (4.3), and lead the league in steals (2.4). And he put any rebuilding talks on halt as he led the Indiana Pacers to the 5th seed in the Eastern Conference surprisingly.
Life without Paul George may not be so bad after all for the Pacers.
Lou Williams is no stranger to this award as he won it during the 2014-2015 season as a member of the Toronto Raptors. Always known to be an explosive scorer, Williams set career highs in scoring with 22.6 points per game, and was the clear number one option for the Los Angeles Clippers.
The Clippers narrowly missed the playoffs this year, but with Williams as part of their nucleus we can expect the Clippers to be back in the playoffs in the seasons to come.
We'll be completely transparent here and admit that our initial choice for this award was Utah Jazz center Rudy Gobert, but Gobert missed significant time this year due to injury so that essentially eliminated him.
With that being said, our second choice for Defensive Player of the Year was Anthony Davis. Davis is without question one of the best players in the league, and is one of the few players that makes his presence felt both offensively and defensively.
The Brow put up outrageous stats across the board, but his defensive stats were impressive as he led the league in blocks (2.6 per game), and added 1.5 steals.
Before we start let's get the most obvious objection to our pick out the way. Yes, you can argue that LeBron James deserves to be this season's MVP. This is one of King James's best seasons of his career. But James Harden is due for this award.
When you lead the league in scoring, are third in the league in assist, and your team has the best record in the league……….yeah I think it's safe to say that you deserve to be MVP.
Harden has been runner-up in the MVP race several times before but this year his play has made it to where he won't finish second anymore. The Beard has already made a case that he is one of the most prolific scorers this league has ever seen, but he has put together a string of seasons that show he is as close to an offensive total package that there can be.
The pressure will be on The Beard to carry his regular season success over into the playoffs, but he has the Houston Rockets in a prime position to make a run to the NBA Finals.

In this day and age it's imperative to have a website for your company so that you can be found online by current and potential customers, and make it easy for them to communicate digitally with you.
However, for many business owners and managers with no background in the area of IT, creating that first site can be incredibly daunting. That's where some of the top website building software options on the market can come in handy. Rather than having to learn how to code or use graphic design skills, you can take advantage of free or low-cost software that will build your new website at the touch of some buttons. If you're keen to give this type of service a go, read on for some tips you can follow to choose a website builder that will help you get the results you need.
One of the first things you should look at when deciding on a website builder is the number of templates on offer, and whether or not these templates can be customized. After all, there's no point going through the effort and spending the time and money on a site that looks like thousands of other ones that are out there.
When examining the builders on the market, look at whether they offer the type of templates that suit your business industry. For example, you may need a very visual site that helps you to display photography, a blogging-based structure that makes it easy to organize large numbers of posts, or one that is primarily created to help you sell products online.
Apart from having a variety of templates available in different layouts and color schemes, it also helps to choose a website builder that allows you to tweak the templates as required. You should be able to personalize the design to suit your branding and business, with the ability to resize and edit things, as well as move them around.
The point of using a website builder is to create a website easily and economically, without having to have previous coding or other tech experience. This also means that when you analyze products, you should look for those that can be easily used by anyone who isn't tech savvy. Generally you'll find that the "drag and drop" type options are the simplest to use and can be picked up by someone with even the most rudimentary computer knowledge.
If possible, see if you can gain access to a trial period before you pay money for a builder, or alternatively check out a demo version, so that you can see if the software is easy enough to use. The best programs will also have tutorials available that you can watch/read to learn how to add things to or edit your site.
In this day and age it's incredibly important to have a website that is both mobile-friendly and search engine optimization friendly. Statistics show that huge numbers of people now use their smartphones and tablets to browse, research, and shop online, which means that your website should cater to these types of devices as well as desktop computers.
If you want to be found online, you also need your site rank on search engines such as Google and Bing. For this to happen, the best way to start is to build a website that is SEO-friendly. Website-building software that caters to this will help your site rankings to be boosted through allowing you to add and edit title tags, meta tags, and meta descriptions, at a bare minimum.
It's also vital to look for a website builder that allows you to integrate plug-ins and other functionality when needed. For example, you may want to incorporate a shopping cart into your site; integrate social media links; add a newsletter, blog, or forum function; use photo galleries; upload videos and slideshows; incorporate a Google Maps listing; or make use of dozens of other potential widgets. Don't bother using a website builder that doesn't allow for this type of scope either immediately or later.
Lastly, you should also choose a website builder that offers customer support to its clients. Even though you hope that everything runs smoothly over the time that you use the software, invariably it's likely that you'll have some type of issue at some point along the way and will want to speak to a customer service representative who can help you deal with it. While many website builders do offer support, it's not guaranteed, so make sure you do your research before you sign up. It's best to choose a package that provides 24/7 support, through email, live chat, and phone calls.

Major movements in literary and dramatic history, like the Enlightenment and Romanticism, are taught as the actors portray a hilarious "mash-up" between Frankenstein and Pride and Prejudice, as well as other unlikely pairings and synopses. The play is replete with ghosts, villains, and common plot devices, and burns through the other major periods in literary history culminating in a fast-paced handling of movies and "The Great Summer Blockbuster!"

I'm so excited to have had the opportunity to bring Rainband into the herd! His dam, SG Redwood Hills X-Rated Rainboots is a fancy yearling milker that is a genetic full sister to 2012 National Champion SGCH Redwood Hills X-Rated Rima EX93 and SGCH Redwood Hills Drops of Rain 11*M EX92. There is so much to be said for the strength and consistency in this dam line. The Raindrop/X Rated daughters have proven themselves to be top national competitors as well as hard workers having completed 3,000+ lactation's. Rima started out her career with a Jr Championship at the 2009 ADGA National Show as a dry yearling. As a 2 yo she was 1st Place/1st Udder at the 2010 National Show, and yet again in 2012 as a 4 yo she was 1st Place/1st Udder and was also named National Champion and Best Udder. In addition, she is currently the reigning Sonoma County Fair Alpine GCH for the 5th year in a row. Her 3 yo sister Drops of Rain was also 1st Place/1st Udder at the 2012 National Show. Rainboots is following in the hoof prints of her two older sisters, winning her class at the 2015 National Show as a yearling milker. Rainband is sired by *+B Hoach's Kaaza Klein who boasts another line of beautiful female relatives to combine with the dam's very impressive side. Rainband will be bred to all the Calistoga daughters this fall, which ties Rainboots, Rima and Rain into both sides of the pedigree of the kids. We are very excited to see the results.

Lee Young Ja causes laughter by calling out NU'EST's label for rejecting a guest appearance on 'K-Bob Star'
21 Apr 2020 - Post a Comment
On April 21, comedians Lee Young Ja and Kim Sook greeted viewers during an online press conference for their new web variety series, 'K-Bob Star'.
The upcoming web series, set to premiere on YouTube later today (April 21 at 6 PM KST), is a mini-variety where Lee Young Ja and Kim Sook invite various idol group guests for a big, delicious meal. During the press conference, when asked which idols they would like to see on the show, the two 'K-Bob Star' hosts named NU'EST.
Kim Sook said, "We've worked with NU'EST's JR on a program before," and Lee Young Ja added, "We've also tasted food that JR's mother personally cooked and sent us. JR is also a good cook."
Here, Lee Young Ja further confessed, "We want them to come out on our show, but their agency said that NU'EST's promotion period will only be 2 weeks and have not given us a clear response. But if the fans want it, the company will listen. If the fans could please tell the company on our behalf, 'It doesn't matter if their promotion period is only 2 weeks. They need to eat, so please let them go on this program'," causing laughter by calling out NU'EST's agency Pledis Entertainment and enlisting fans' help.
Lee Young Ja didn't stop there as she continued, "I was told that NU'EST's company will not let them go out on web shows, only shows aired on TV broadcasts. But really, why can't they just come and eat a meal with us."
Later on, Lee Young Ja and Kim Sook responded to the possibility of groups such as BTS or TVXQ appearing on 'K-Bob Star' by giving a shoutout to fans once again. "We don't have any power. If the fans bring out their strength through the comments, we might be able to have them as guests. Please contact the groups' companies directly with your requests."
Meanwhile, 'K-Bob Star' premieres later on April 21 at 6 PM KST via YouTube, and airs every Tuesdays through Thursdays at 6 PM KST afterward.

The courtship ballet of the male Scissor-tailed Flycatcher is unparalleled in the bird kingdom. He climbs to about a hundred feet, plunges down a fourth of the way, zigs up and zags down, all the while sounding a rolling chatter. Finally, he rockets straight up and then falls into two or three spectacular somersaults. For all the painstaking fervor of the courtship rites, Scissor-tails care little for a tidy nest. Frail and sloppily built, their nests are a shallow cup of twigs and grass.
Mistletoe is a unique choice among state flowers for two reasons. First, its interest and charm lie in its tick, yellowish green leaves and waxy white berries rather than in its tiny, inconspicuous flowers. Second, it is not a garden or cultivated flower but, like its five hundred or more relatives, a parasite, living on the branches of various kinds of trees from which it steals its sustenance. Its name comes from a very old Saxon word meaning "different twig." It was considered a twig of mysterious power because it remained green in winter, when all the leaves of the tree had fallen. The custom of kissing under a branch of Mistletoe apparently originated among the Druids.

Fort Wayne Man Arrested by County Police on Multiple Charges, 3 Times Legal Limit
Updated at 2:28 am on March 22, 2022
On Saturday, March 19th, around 4:44 in the afternoon Marshall County Central Dispatch received a 911 call advising a vehicle was unable to maintain lane control and kept speeding up and slowing down in the area of U.S. 30 and Union Road. The caller described the vehicle and gave a plate on the vehicle to assist officers in locating the vehicle.
Deputies with the Marshall County Sheriff's Department located the vehicle at the Pilot Truck Stop in Plymouth. Officer Ayala made contact with the driver, later identified as twenty-five year old Louis L.J. Banks Jr. of Fort Wayne. A young juvenile was also located in the vehicle and was released to a family member later.
Banks Jr. was checked through Standardized Field Sobriety Testing. He had refused a chemical test after field sobriety and a search warrant was applied for and granted by Judge Matthew Sarber of Marshall County Superior Court III. After the chemical test, it was found that Banks was three times the legal limit. He was transported to Marshall County Jail where he was booked and lodged for: Operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated .15% or higher, Operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated-Endangerment, Operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated-Refusal, Operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated-Prior Conviction, Possession of Paraphernalia, and Knowingly or Intentionally operating a motor vehicle without ever receiving a license. He was held on a $1,500 cash bond.

Making data available is one thing. Making it useful is quite another.
Reduce your carbon footprint. Eliminate world hunger. Eradicate infectious disease. You name it, chances are somebody has claimed open data can solve it. It seems I can't go anywhere without hearing about the promise of open data.
I recently attended HiMSS 2015 in Chicago and every time a speaker mentioned "innovation" and "government," shortly thereafter, "open data" followed. But is all this talk warranted? And can open data live up to the hype?
The consensus definition of "open data" is data that's "freely available to anyone to use, reuse, and redistribute." So we're talking about data sets that are available to all. But at its core, open data's still just data.
Since we're naturally inquisitive, we've been collecting, tracking, sharing and analyzing data for thousands of years. We track everything from basic survival information, such as "Which soil is most fertile?" to more superficial data such as "Who has hit the most home runs each season for the Washington Nationals?" There's nothing inherently "new" about open data.
Making data available is one thing. However, making it useful is quite another. It's a bit like when I taught my oldest daughter to ski. I'm a sucker for gear, so when she was 18 months old I searched for and bought the best baby ski equipment money could buy (and yes, I had to really hunt to find boots that were even remotely small enough). But all that tiny equipment was only the beginning. The biggest challenges were ahead of me, such as getting her to the slopes without thoroughly exhausting her (and myself) in the process, and teaching her how to use those bitty skis. It involved lots of hard work, a few tears, and the occasional use of an on-slope pacifier (hers, not mine). But the end result is today, at age five, she's quite the skier.
The point of my trip down memory lane is this: without a ski area, proper instruction, and lots of practice, all that gear would have been meaningless. The same goes for data. Making it available is an important first step, but it isn't enough. It has to be meaningful. The key is uncovering the meaning. And to do that, we need data that's consumable, and data discovery platforms like Qlik Sense that empower us to find meaning in the data. And as with skiing, practice is essential. We need to get out there and explore—try something, learn from our mistakes, and make improvements.
My intent isn't to disparage open data. Quite the opposite—accessing government data is the first step towards transparency. So while open data isn't a new idea, what is "new" is the volume of data available to us.
The United States has made tremendous strides in improving data transparency since the Office of Management and Budget first issued the Open Government Directive in 2009. Data.gov is now home to nearly 130,000 data sets and growing. In February, President Obama announced DJ Patil as the nation's first Chief Data Scientist. Next month, the U.S. Department of the Treasury and the White House Office of Management and Budget will announce new data standards for federal spending under the Digital Accountability and Transparency Act.
Governments around the world have been racing to follow suit. In fact, some developing nations are experimenting with making their data available to reduce poverty and improve quality of life. Some have cited 2014 as the year that open data went "mainstream," with nearly all governments citing it as a top priority.
The open data movement is a global phenomenon moving at warp speed. What we need to do now is place as much emphasis on using the data as we have on making it available. Some governments are well on their way. For example, the DC government hosts Track DC, a site leveraging Qlik to empower citizens to explore and analyze performance measures, agency budgets, and spending.
So will open data save the world? No, but it's a good start and one of many factors that will help make the world a better place. With the right data, the right tools, and some great minds: government, industry and citizens collectively can accomplish something meaningful and remarkable.

Year 7, 8 and 9
TSC Learning Journey for English Y7, Y8 and Y9
The aim of English at KS3 is to extend students' knowledge of the world and its literature, and as such we have created a broad and challenging curriculum. In Year 7 and Year 8, students are guided through classic texts from the English literary heritage alongside a range of contemporary poetry, novels and plays. Through regular writing challenges they learn to become expressive, creative and precise in the use of the written word. In addition, we are committed to developing students' oracy skills through discussion, debate and individual presentations.
Step Up to Year 7 – Students will step up to Year 7 in the Autumn term through a transition scheme aimed to bridge the gap from Key Stage 2 to Key Stage 3. We will be building on the reading skills from Year 6 so that pupils are ready to read the different poems, plays, prose and non-fiction which they will explore throughout Year 7. Pupils will also explore autobiographies and then have a go at producing a snippet from their own.
A Midsummer Night's Dream- As Shakespeare reminded us: "A fool thinks himself to be wise, but a wise man knows himself to be a fool." Pupils are transported back into the time of our favourite bard- William Shakespeare. As pupils journey back through his work, they will explore one of his more iconic plays, drawn into a world of fairies, dreams and misplaced love.
Iconic Speeches – "The only thing we have to fear is fear itself" claimed Roosevelt and this scheme of learning explores some of those iconic speakers who have been anything but afraid to stand up for what they believe. During this scheme, pupils will read and analyse iconic speeches, through different times and places, from Martin Luther King to Malala Yousafzai. After studying speeches, it's time to speak up as pupils will write their own iconic speech on a current affair that matters to them.
School Life- Whilst many of our students will love being magically transported to the world of Hogwarts, others will delight in making parallels between school life in David Walliams' world and their own! This half term aims to develop the pupils' analytical skills through the analysis of different writers' techniques and language. Pupils will be encouraged to explore how writers create a sense of place and character.
Poetry from Other Cultures- Where else can you visit a tropical island, the hustle and bustle of London and vibrant Lahore all in one half term? Our different cultures poetry takes pupils' learning on a journey as they explore the British culture, changing cultures, conflict in cultures and a celebration of identity. Through a range of poems, our pupils will practise how to refer to poems, including using quotations, to support interpretations. Alongside this, pupils will consider the context to the poems and the different key messages different poets try to portray.
Class Novel- "A reader lives a thousand lives before he dies" and our pupils are given the opportunity to do exactly this with the class reader. This final scheme of learning aims to develop and stretch pupils' close text analytical skills, as well as the skills which they have been developing all year. Pupils will consider the importance of key themes, narrative viewpoints, structure, characterisation and a range of literary techniques.
Great British Literature- Students will study a range of works from the canon of English literature such as Nicholas Nickleby and Great Expectations by Dickens, as well as Stevenson's Treasure Island. Students' learning will help then to appreciate the influence of context on the literary texts as well as hone their analytical skills.
Crime Writing- Students will look at the theme of crime and punishment in poetry by Browning, Hardy, Armitage and Duffy. There will be a focus on language and style of newspaper reports in order to influence students' own writing in the production of their own newspaper report based on Roald Dahl's short story The Lamb to the Slaughter.
Dramatic Voices- Through reading plays, students will develop their skills for analysing drama and will consider dramatic techniques such as dramatic irony and symbolism. This will allow them to reflect on the importance of stage directions and setting on meaning and interpretation.
Marketing Project- Within this unit, students will explore language in different forms of transactional writing. Through analysis of reviews, advertisements and persuasive speeches students will consider how to use language to persuade. Students will be creating their own product to "sell" to the rest of the class in our very own version of 'Dragon's Den'.
Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet- As part of our curriculum obligations to the Bard, students will be immersed in the tragedy of young love in Verona. Our students will explore the expectations of love and marriage as well as the tragedy of love blighted by family conflict.
Classic American Literature- Students will continue to develop their reading for meaning, language analysis and contextual linking through the study of this genre. We will consider discrimination and the influence of the 'American Dream', which will interleave with other units in Year 8 and explore important issues such as culture, race and personal responsibility.
War and Words - We commence with the study and analysis of a range of war poems, letters, diary entries and experiences from both historic and modern-day wars. Students will explore representations of conflict and the role of the soldier, how war affected those left behind and how propaganda and censorship were used to persuade soldiers to fight for their country. Students will synthesise knowledge from their history lessons with language skills and literature analysis to form a deeper understanding of the issues surrounding war.
Dickens, the Victorian Poor and A Christmas Carol - We read and explore the timeless classic that is 'A Christmas Carol' by Charles Dickens. Credited with ushering in the modern day concept of Christmas and the festive vision of the holidays that has existed since 1843, students will explore the dark underbelly of the Victorian world that is reflected in this ghostly, gothic novella. By the end of this unit of study, students will be familiar with the plot, characters and wider context of 'A Christmas Carol' and hopefully be able to "honour Christmas in their hearts and try to keep it all the year".
An Inspector Calls, Social Responsibility and Drama. Our literature period and focus changes here from the 19th century to the turn of the 20th century, a period of Edwardian polite society where weddings were business mergers and Inspectors 'inspected' more than a crime. Our students enjoy the mystery of the Inspector himself, the challenge of Priestley's political mantra and beliefs, as well as being given the opportunity to investigate the case themselves- "one person and one line of enquiry at a time."
Shakespeare, Murder and Macbeth, a tale of castles, conflicts, covens and dastardly murders. Our students are treated to a first reading of this exciting tragedy, while immersing themselves in the bloodthirsty and patriarchal context of Elizabethan society and the nature of the tragic hero himself. They will become familiar with the complex structure of the plot and explore key themes of gender, ambition and the supernatural while also exploring debates about human nature and how far some are willing to go to get ahead…
Nature Rocks – From the supernatural in Macbeth to the naturally super in our final Y9 topic. This scheme of learning focuses on the poetry of the natural world, conveyed through world famous poets and the rose-tinted lens of Romanticism, set against vistas as spectacular as the icy crags of the Lake District and as simple as the granary floor in To Autumn. Students will demonstrate understanding of the unique perspective of the Romantics and consider how poets use the natural world to draw parallels with everyday human experiences, whether stopping by woods on a snowy evening or whiling away afternoons at the park.

9 Rewarding Kama Sutra Sex Positions for Couples to Try
Time to summon that flexibility.
By Lacey Johnson
Karl Tapales
You've read about it in private internet forums and seen it boldly displayed in the erotica aisle of your local bookstore. It's inspired racy adult board games and lines of plush, contoured furniture to accommodate lovemaking. But when Indian scholar and philosopher Mallanaga Vātsyāyana compiled the Kama Sutra somewhere around 200 BC, he likely never imagined that, more than 2,200 years later, some of its elements would seep through consumer culture and follow so many couples into their bedrooms.
10 Oxytocin-Boosting Sex Positions
25 Great Sex Toys for Couples
How to Reinvent Your Sex Life After Divorce
Contrary to mainstream perception, the Kama Sutra is not merely a sex manual jam-packed with complex and kinky positions to spice up your love life. Rather, it's a dense, sacred text that presents an exploration of desire, intimacy, and living through a spirit of unhinged curiosity and liberation. There are prompts about different styles of kissing, embracing, and touching, as well.
"It's about deepening into your body and making new discoveries about yourself and your engagement with your partner," says Keeley Rankin, MA, sex therapist and relationship coach.
So while erotic poses are only a fraction of what the ancient text involves, the good news is that we channeled wisdom from the sexperts and rounded up a few of its most arousing takeaways. Ahead are answers to commonly asked questions about the Kama Sutra, as well as nine positions for you and your partner to experiment with together—ones sure to bend your flexibility and raise your sexual connection to new (ahem) heights...
Before you get into position, keep a few things in mind…
Although you may be tempted to rush off to the bedroom, Dr. David Yarian, Ph.D., licensed psychologist and certified sex therapist, suggests that you first leave your expectations and judgments at the door… and simply invite an atmosphere of play. Because while you and your partner may be excited to draw inspiration from the Kama Sutra's wellspring of sexual poses, you shouldn't become so consumed with performing them "correctly" that you miss the beauty of the journey, which is unabashed pleasure. "I encourage my clients to explore sensual touch, learning to 'taste' or 'read' each other. The idea is to heighten sensitivity to pleasure, whether giving or receiving," says Dr. Yarian.
Can't Achieve Orgasm? This Might Be Why

And while most assume that fulfilling sex is instinctive, Dr. Yarian says it isn't at all. "Humans have to learn how to 'do' sex. Many of my clients believe the goal is orgasm, and are in a hurry to get there," he says. "But the focus in sex is rightly pleasure—giving and receiving it—and soaking in all the sensory delights: the taste of your partner's lips, the smell of their hair, the touch of their smooth skin, the visual of their form."
"We go to eroticism in order to fully let go and be free—like when we are moaning, panting and moving in undulation. And that search for freedom is actually a spiritual experience," adds Rankin. "The Kama Sutra is about accessing that energy."
The Kama Sutra can be for everyone.
While most of the poses involve vaginal penetration by a male, same-sex couples shouldn't be driven away. Any couple seeking to deepen their sexual and spiritual connection can draw inspiration and modify the moves. "It's about entertaining your curiosity to try something new, whether or not its performed exactly according to the original design," says Rankin.
So, let's get started.
The Tigress
Feeling confident—especially about your posterior view? This one's for you. Similar to the reverse cowgirl position, it has an empowered, goddess-like element to it.
To execute, the male partner simply lies down on his back, and the female climbs on top of him, sitting upright, with her derriere positioned toward his face. Then, she gently rocks her hips, arching her back in an up and down motion.
Tripadam
Quarantined with a house full of screaming kids and only have five minutes to spare for a quickie? You can still give your modern-day sex life a nod to the ancient with this fun, to-the-point position.
Both parties stand, facing one another. The male partner cups his hand under one of the female partner's knees, and raises her leg up until it rests in the realm of his torso, creating the effect of their bodies becoming an actual tripod. This allows for easy, short and fast penetration.
The Milk and Water Embrace
Got a taste for adventure? This one involves the use of a chair (the more cushy and comfortable, the better) with no arms.
The male partner positions himself in the chair first, and then the female partner sits on top of him, facing away. For this one, the intensity of penetration is symbiotic, allowing for creativity and shared control when finding a rhythm.
Clasping Position
This one is especially great for couples who are long distance or who are reuniting after a stretch of being physically separated, because it allows for total-body contact, passionate kissing, and intimate eye-to-eye gazing. Essentially, it's a more lazy and relaxing variation of the missionary position.
To achieve, both partners simply lie down across a comfortable surface, their legs stretched out and aligned. The female partner opens her legs as narrow or as wide as she wants, depending upon the desired intensity of penetration.
Literally named after a queen, the wife of Indra, this one is rumored to send lovers soaring straight through the gates of ecstasy.
To accomplish, the female partner lies on her back, her knees bent closely into her chest. The male partner positions his thighs on the outside of her legs, penetrating her and using his hands for increased pleasure.
Imagine a gorgeous flower unfurling its delicate petals. For this one, the male partner kneels onto the bed or floor and elevates the female partner's hips while her head remains lowered and resting on the surface. Her legs fall securely on either side of his hips, keeping their lower halves as closely together as possible.
This pose appears pretty and graceful, but don't become disheartened if you're not quite flexible enough to achieve it, advises Rankin. "Unless you're regularly practicing yoga, you're not going to be able to execute many of these positions perfectly, but the key is to keep trying and enjoy the adventure," she says.
To give it a go, the female partner stands and faces the male partner, balancing delicately on one foot. She then wraps her opposite leg around his waist for support.
Splitting the Bamboo
For this one, the female partner stretches out across the bed, shifting her weight slightly to one hip. She then raises that same leg up and rests it on her male partner's shoulder. Her other leg remains stretched out on the bed, giving him freedom to control the rhythm and intensity of penetration. The best part? Her only job is to simply breathe... relax… and enjoy.
The Padlock
This is a beautifully intimate position, creating the effect that your bodies are literally "padlocked" together. It allows for plenty of hair tugging, sensual nibbling and kissing.
While seated on a firm, secure surface such as a dining room table or a dresser, the female partner reclines back slightly. The male partner leans into her, pulling her toward him, lifting her pelvis up and cradling it securely. Locking her legs around his torso or hips, the female partner then clasps her feet together as he dominates penetration.
Still curious? Consider Modern Tantra...
If your curiosity remains piqued, Dr. Yarian suggests you explore Modern Tantra, which he describes as "an amalgam of tantric principles from ancient Indian teachings with insights of modern psychology and sexology."
He recommends The Art of Sexual Ecstasy, The Art of Conscious Loving, and Urban Tantra to his clients. Each offers unique introductions into deeper realms of sexual experimentation and personal evolution. But regardless of what sparks you choose to follow, Dr. Yarian stresses that the best mindset with sex is one that is "less goal-oriented and urgent" and more curious and explorative. Because the point is the process of discovering pleasure.
