Reality check: every woman looking for love endures her share of unwanted male attention. Whether you're online dating, going to singles events, or hanging out at upscale restaurant bars to meet men, you will encounter the occasional player or jerk.
Even though it would be wonderful to only engage with high quality men, this annoyance is part of dating and, sorry, it's completely unavoidable. Some men are just rude, nosey, or jerks.
Naturally you want to make them go away quickly. The trouble is, when you're out in public, other men, who actually are desirable, watch how you interact with those first men who approach you.
As a dating coach for women, I hear about a variety of ways my clients respond to off-putting men. Many women get upset about the "wrong men" talking to them. Some get angry that these men have the nerve to approach them.
But, women with confidence don't get thrown off or flustered by players and jerks. Attractive women with strong self-esteem rely on their self-worth to kick in, which helps them rise above the situation, hold their boundaries, and handle it all with style and grace.
Think about it — why let a player or jerk ruffle your feathers or ruin your day? When you put out negative energy in response to these men, you lower your vibration to their level.
Instead, maintain calm and a positive outlook so you can go about your day being as attractive as possible. Don't give your power away to men who aren't worth your time!
1. Would you like to dance?
2. Can I have your phone number?
3. Can I take you home tonight?
"What a nice thought, let me think about that.
5. Why did you get divorced?
6. Do you want to hang out sometime?
Choose your favorite responses and rehearse them before the next time you go out to meet men. Then, when you run into a jerk asking unwanted questions, you already know exactly what to say before you move on to meet better men.

The Movie Scientist Blogathon: Them! (1954)
February 21, 2016 February 21, 2016 ~ Debbie
This post is part of the Movie Scientist Blogathon, hosted by Christina Wehner and Silver Screenings. See the list of the other participants HERE!
Them!, released in 1954, was the first of the "giant insect" movies that became so popular during the 1950s. It's not only the first, it's the best, and, I would argue, one of the best sci-fi horror films of the 1950s.
The story opens with two cops, Ben (James Whitmore) and Ed (Chris Drake) discovering a little girl wandering the desert all by herself. She is in a state of complete shock. They find a car and trailer that apparently belonged to the girl's family, and are shocked to see the destruction that does not seem to be human-made. A few miles away, they find similar destruction at a small store, including the mangled body of the proprietor.
Ben leaves Ed at the store to get more help. Ed is attacked by something off screen and is also killed.
An unidentifiable footprint is found at one of the crime scenes and a cast is sent by FBI agent Bob Graham (James Arness) to Washington. The police and Bob are surprised when two Dr. Medfords are sent out to the desert to investigate. One is Dr. Harold Medford (Edmund Gwenn), and the other, to the surprise of the men, is Dr. Patricia Medford (Joan Weldon), his daughter.
They visit the little comatose girl. Dr. Medford allows her to sniff formic acid, which not only brings her out of her state, she becomes completely terrified, yelling "Them! Them!"
Out in the desert, the two scientists are cagey about their theory of what has been killing these people. While alone looking for more of the tracks, Pat is almost attacked and killed by a monstrous-sized ant. Ben and Bob kill the giant ant.
The two scientists reveal that the most likely explanation for these giant ants is radiation left from the testing of the atomic bomb in nearby White Sands, causing this fantastic mutation.
Drs. Harold and Patricia, Bob, and Ben, along with military personnel, including General O'Brien (Onslow Stevens) and Major Kibbee (Sean McClory) join forces to destroy the nest in the desert. They are appalled to discover that two queen ant escaped before the nest was destroyed. They set out to find where the other queens have established their nests before the giant ants can multiply to the point where they will wipe out all of mankind.
There is so much to love about this movie, first of all its well-paced, suspenseful script. Much like the movie Jaws two decades later, the movie is very careful not to reveal the creatures until absolutely necessary. It also has surprising moments of humor, while always taking its subject totally seriously. It is populated with appearances by a wide host of some of the best character actors in Hollywood at the time, including Dub Taylor, Richard Deacon, Fess Parker, William Schallert, Ann Doran, John Beradino, and Harry Wilson.
(Fun trivia: Walt Disney saw the film to consider James Arness for the part of Davy Crockett and decided Fess Parker was more suitable for the role. Arness didn't lose out, though: based on his performance in the film, John Wayne recommended him for the role of Matt Dillon in the show Gunsmoke.)
Edmund Gwenn plays the familiar role of the curmudgeonly, somewhat absent-minded scientist to utter perfection. Both excited by the remarkable scientific event and determined to curtail its threat, he is in many ways the model of the "good" scientist from movies.
While he is familiar, the other scientist in the story, Pat, is not. It was unusual for women to play major roles as scientists in classic Hollywood films, unless it was in a biopic. This is one reason I love the film so much.
Of course, when they introduce her they felt the need to sexualize her by having her skirt catch as she climbs out of the army plane so we see only her legs at first, to the delight of Bob and Ben. And, sure, she needs to be rescued from one of the giant ants. Because, you know, that's how women usually function in a story.
However, after getting those two stale tropes out of the way, the film quickly establishes her as not only a superb scientist, on equal footing with her father, but a pretty bad-ass one, too. When they find the first ant colony and gas it with poison, she insists on accompanying Bob and Ben to make certain the entire colony has been destroyed. Bob, who has already laid claim to her as his possible woman, makes manly noises about her staying behind, but she refuses to be left behind, pulling out her scientist credentials, which he can't argue against.
When they arrive at the queen's egg chamber and Pat informs them she has found evidence that is very bad for the longevity of the human race, she commands them:
"Now destroy everything in here. Burn it."
Clueless men: "What?"
"BURN IT! BURN EVERYTHING!"
She remains a major presence throughout the rest of the film, investigating giant ant sightings, speaking in front of leaders in Washington with her father, and riding into the underground sewer lines along with soldiers to find the final ant nest.
Sure, the guys get to battle the ants at the end and earn the hero mantle for saving the world. And I don't mean to give short shrift to Gwenn's Dr. Medford. He is an important presence, too, teaching us to respect the power of nature and warning us of our folly for thinking our actions won't have serious consequences. But to see a woman treated as an equal to the other heroes in a movie made during the 1950s is awesome.
What's also great about this movie is that it's about a team of heroes—along with our two intrepid scientists, there is local cop Ben, FBI agent Bob, a general and major in the army. Without any of them, the world would not have been saved. It's a nice change from the lone wolf hero we're so used to in today's movies. In Them!, brains, courage, and brawn come together to save our species.

Hooray for giant ants, and Hooray for Joan Wheldon's smart, scientific character!! (I laughed out loud at your observation re: women in these movies must be saved because that's how they function!) I didn't realize this film started the 1950s giant insect craze. I'm going to take another look at it, with this in mind.
Thanks for joining the Movie Scientist party, and for bringing Them! with you.
Thanks for hosting this blogathon! Lots of great entries!
christinawehner says:
I love your point about Them having a team of heroes and how refreshing it is! We have gone a little overboard with the lone hero in films now.
I actually saw this for the first time this year (after hearing my uncles and aunts make allusions to it for pretty much my whole life). Even knowing what was coming, it was still tense…especially the beginning and the build up to the giant ant reveal.
So glad you could join in!
I also love how the story builds up the tension. They treat it almost like a regular mystery story without an sci-fi elements at first. Without that, probably the giant ant reveal would have seemed silly.
Thanks for hosting the blogathon!

James announce 40th Anniversary Tour
In celebration of their 40th Anniversary, James have announced a new UK 'James Lasted' Tour complete with 22-piece orchestra and gospel choir!
Tim Booth says "There are a number of great bands who have been around for 40. But to get here and to be having the best time of our lives. To be part of a supportive loving family that still has something to say and new ways to say it. To be turned on by every gig and song. To fall in love over and over again, Groundhog Day, with our bandmates and audience. Damn. That's time well spent.
We should have recorded the orchestra tour first time round, as many of you have reminded us. Well, we've done it now. And here comes the tour. The Orchestra and Gospel singers expand our palette, heighten the tenderness, heighten the celebration and, despite their numbers, somehow leave us feeling more naked and raw. It will be different, probably each night, because we are James and Joe knows how to dance with us. And because you are different, each night. Please leave your phones behind, come and play in the moment."
Jim Glennie says "Has it really been 40 years? In some ways it feels like yesterday and in others, many lifetimes. I've lived a blessed existence, being in a band I'm supremely proud of with musicians that would grace any stage. A family of brothers and sisters, willing to support each other musically and emotionally. We are bloody minded and independent to the core. Uniquely challenging, always pushing ourselves into the new and taking risks collectively and individually, looking for transcendence. With love, trust, and acceptance we grow. Somewhere in a parallel universe, James are the biggest band on the planet. Here's to another 40 years."

Skindred announce new album 'Smile'
Skindred – 'GIMME THAT BOOM'
We move our News Report on now to the best new releases from the past week and we begin with Skindred!
The group this week announced new album, 'Smile', will be released August 4th. The band also shared new single, 'GIMME THAT BOOM', which you can check out above.
The track is based on a frustrating encounter lead singer Benji Webbe had with an overfamiliar fan.
"I was out shopping one day and I could hear someone building up asking me for a picture," Webbe recalls. "The person didn't care who I was with or what I was doing – they just wanted their picture. In this day and age, people want you and they expect to get you on tap, constantly giving you that 'boom' so they can get their Instagram Likes up. It's important to remember that people can't give you that 'boom' all the time. People think because they follow you on social media, they own you."
The Dead Daisies share 'Born To Fly'
The Dead Daisies – 'Born To Fly'
Ahead of their UK Tour next month, The Dead Daisies have released new single, 'Born To Fly', which you can listen to above.
"Doug & I got together in New York earlier in the year and worked on a riff that I had written previously. Doug had a chorus that just fitted, we messed around with the melody and came up with the name 'Born To Fly'. This is a straight-up rock song. For me it's literal, I was born to fly. However we're all born to fly in our own way." – David Lowy
REWS share 'The World That You Left Behind'
REWS – 'The World That You Left Behind'
This week saw REWS share new single, 'The World That Left You Behind', which you can check out above.
"Ah! I'm ecstatic about finally releasing this song!! It's got so much energy, riff's for days and a great message!! I wrote it with a great friend of mine from NI, Cahir O'Doherty (New Pagans). It is a song that journey's through how we can support those people in our lives who get carried away with negative thoughts and feel utterly lost and alone. Hopefully the song will provide a nice audio net for people to fall into at times of need, so they know they aren't alone!" – Shauna

Read our review of Dream Wife at Y Not Festival
Dissonants – 'Grave Mind'
Dissonants have shared their huge new single 'Grave Mind'.
'Lyrically, Grave Mind is more conceptual than our previous work. I wrote the track from the viewpoint of someone on their deathbed looking back on their life and wondering if, now that it's over and coming to a close, they can be happy and at peace. For this track we wanted to draw less from our own experiences and look at concepts such as mortality and happiness, and how one can affect the other'. – Frontman Benjie Allen.
M(h)aol – 'Asking For It'
M(h)aol will release debut album, 'Attachment Styles' on February 3rd. This week they shared new single, 'Asking For It'.
On the track singer Róisín said, "I wrote it initially in 2016 then revisited it in 2020. I was shocked by how much internalised victim blaming there was in the lyrics. I rewrote it, then we recorded it and it was released to raise money for Women's Aid in 2021. The album version is a lot angrier than the 2021 one and almost satirical insofar as it's highlighting how ludicrous the notion of anyone 'asking for it' is."
Chasing Kites – 'Shiver'
Bath-based indie-rock four-piece Chasing Kites return with their fourth single 'Shiver'.
Speaking about the writing process, vocalist and lyricist Matt Donnelly explains, ''Shiver came together extremely quickly. I'd had the lyrics lying around for a very long time and felt they fit perfectly with the sonic side of the track when the melody was written. As we built on the skeleton of the song, our aim was to take us back into the realms of indie rock through powerful injections of energy in the choruses, while maintaining our commercial sound throughout.''

Best friends again
Andrea Buffa
The United Nations celebrates its 50th birthday with a conference June 21-24 in San Francisco, co-sponsored by citizen groups like Rainforest Action Network, Citizens Network for Sustainable Development, and Third World Institute. The alliance is odd, given such groups' limited influence on U.N. decision-making.
That wasn't always the case. In 1945, several "people's" organizations–such as the NAACP and the League of Women Voters–participated in drafting the U.N. charter and mobilized their constituencies to lobby Congress to ratify it. Since then, grassroots groups have seen their role diminish considerably.
Under fire today from all quarters for its bloated bureaucracy, impotence in world crises, and lax oversight of the agencies it ostensibly manages (the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund, etc.), the U.N. seems to be seeking a rapprochement with its old allies. But the grassroots are wary, participating "less out of hopefulness [for change] than out of desperation," said one activist. A good sign: One of the conference's goals is to rewrite the rules of how citizen groups can get consultative status at the U.N.

Devolution and the shifting political economic geographies of the United Kingdom
Mike Danson, Gordon MacLeod, Gerry Mooney
In the aftermath of its sweeping election to power in 1997 the New Labour government moved quickly on its preelection pledge to deliver for the United Kingdom a comprehensive programme of devolution and constitutional change. To a certain extent devolution was considered to be the Labour Party's `unfinished business' following an eighteen-year period that had witnessed a gradual decline in the legitimacy of Conservative rule in the Celtic nations (Mitchell, 2006). It was also heralded as a timely modernisation of territorial government, whereby the uneven and differentiated administrative devolution that had unfolded across the UK's landscape since the late Victorian era - featuring a Scottish Office (since 1885), a Welsh Office (1964), a Stormont parliament in Belfast (1921), and the Government Offices for the Regions in England (1994) would be injected with new democratic credentials and an enhanced policy relevance befitting the era of globalisation and the multilevel government of the European Union. To this extent the peculiarity of the UK's historical and political geography was given due expression in the new constitutional map that emerged in 1999, featuring an elected Parliament for Scotland, elected Assemblies for Wales and Northern Ireland, a directly elected Mayor and Assembly for London, and unelected regional development agencies (RDAs) for the rest of England. Not surprisingly, this momentous agenda of political and institutional reform provoked intense interest from academic and research communities, as throughout the early-to-mid 2000s The Leverhulme Trust's Nations and Regions programme ran in parallel alongside the ESRC's Devolution and Constitutional Change initiative. It is impossible here to do justice to each programme and their respective projects, but there is little denying that they offered a profusion of valuable periodical monitoring and mapping of the newly formed institutional arrangements (eg, Trench, 2004) as well as substantive analyses of emerging tendencies (eg, Adams and Schmuecker, 2006; Lodge and Schmuecker, 2010; Publius:The Journal of Federalism 2006; Regional Studies 2005; Trench, 2004) and fascinating insights into the postdevolution institutional architecture of particular territories (eg, Deacon and Sandry, 2007; Hazell, 2006; Keating, 2010; Paterson et al, 2001). Much of the most notable work has helped to uncover fresh intergovernmental networks, the asymmetrical relations of power and anomalies that have either intensified or come to the surface since 1999 (not least the West Lothian Question),(1) and the `lopsided' nature of the UK state given England's size and related `spillovers', as well as the scope for significant policy variation between the nations and regions and the extent to which devolution satisfies the democratic demands of citizens (Greer, 2009; Jeffery, 2007).
While acknowledging our debt to these research programmes and to the studies highlighted above, which have illuminated key aspects of the devolution process, it is our contention that the moment is ripe for a renewal of critical debate on the political economy and political geography of devolution. In no small part is this prompted by the shifting geoeconomic landscape that punctuates the examination and analysis of devolution in 2012.

Not surprisingly, this momentous agenda of political and institutional reform provoked intense interest from academic and research communities, as throughout the early-to-mid 2000s The Leverhulme Trust's Nations and Regions programme ran in parallel alongside the ESRC's Devolution and Constitutional Change initiative. It is impossible here to do justice to each programme and their respective projects, but there is little denying that they offered a profusion of valuable periodical monitoring and mapping of the newly formed institutional arrangements (eg, Trench, 2004) as well as substantive analyses of emerging tendencies (eg, Adams and Schmuecker, 2006; Lodge and Schmuecker, 2010; Publius:The Journal of Federalism 2006; Regional Studies 2005; Trench, 2004) and fascinating insights into the postdevolution institutional architecture of particular territories (eg, Deacon and Sandry, 2007; Hazell, 2006; Keating, 2010; Paterson et al, 2001). Much of the most notable work has helped to uncover fresh intergovernmental networks, the asymmetrical relations of power and anomalies that have either intensified or come to the surface since 1999 (not least the West Lothian Question),(1) and the `lopsided' nature of the UK state given England's size and related `spillovers', as well as the scope for significant policy variation between the nations and regions and the extent to which devolution satisfies the democratic demands of citizens (Greer, 2009; Jeffery, 2007).While acknowledging our debt to these research programmes and to the studies highlighted above, which have illuminated key aspects of the devolution process, it is our contention that the moment is ripe for a renewal of critical debate on the political economy and political geography of devolution. In no small part is this prompted by the shifting geoeconomic landscape that punctuates the examination and analysis of devolution in 2012.
AB - In the aftermath of its sweeping election to power in 1997 the New Labour government moved quickly on its preelection pledge to deliver for the United Kingdom a comprehensive programme of devolution and constitutional change. To a certain extent devolution was considered to be the Labour Party's `unfinished business' following an eighteen-year period that had witnessed a gradual decline in the legitimacy of Conservative rule in the Celtic nations (Mitchell, 2006). It was also heralded as a timely modernisation of territorial government, whereby the uneven and differentiated administrative devolution that had unfolded across the UK's landscape since the late Victorian era - featuring a Scottish Office (since 1885), a Welsh Office (1964), a Stormont parliament in Belfast (1921), and the Government Offices for the Regions in England (1994) would be injected with new democratic credentials and an enhanced policy relevance befitting the era of globalisation and the multilevel government of the European Union. To this extent the peculiarity of the UK's historical and political geography was given due expression in the new constitutional map that emerged in 1999, featuring an elected Parliament for Scotland, elected Assemblies for Wales and Northern Ireland, a directly elected Mayor and Assembly for London, and unelected regional development agencies (RDAs) for the rest of England.

Q: While loop prints twice without scanning First of all, I'm sorry if there is something obvious that I'm missing, I only recently started to learn how to code.
I'm trying to create a die for a board game but the while loop behaves weirdly and I couldn't figure out why. I would really appreciate it if someone could help me out.
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <time.h>

int main() {
    int dice;
    char input;
    int game = 0;

    srand(time(0));

    while (game == 0) {
        printf("\nRoll the dice? (Y/N)\n");
        scanf("%c", &input);

        if (input == 'Y') {
            dice = (rand() % 6) + 1;

            printf("\ndice: %d\n", dice);
        }
    }

    return 0;
}

This is the output:
Roll the dice? (Y/N)
Y

dice: 2

Roll the dice? (Y/N)

Roll the dice? (Y/N)
Y

dice: 6

Roll the dice? (Y/N)

Roll the dice? (Y/N)

A: It is reading the new line character.
You can prove this by
scanf("%c", &input);
printf("Char read decimal value: %d\n", (int) input);

To fix, use
scanf(" %c", &input);

Please read the manual page. The leading space reads white space including new line.
PS: Please also check the return value from scanf. See scanf

In English, there are technical words for items that the average person does not know the name. This is because every area of life—from auto mechanics to medicine, to architecture and barbering—have more details than we non-specialists can handle. In short, it takes an expert to identify and label these specialized items.
When we don't know what to call something in English, we use a word that means "it's a thing, but I don't know the name for it." In standard English, we may call something a gadget, a widget, or a device. If it's bigger, we might call it a contraption.
The next time you're helping an American friend with a project, don't be shy about your limited vocabulary. Everything has a name for it. Just call it a thingamabob...or maybe a do-hickey!

We have openings for one couple & a single male sharing on this ride. IMPORTANT NOTICE: For those who do not wish to do the big climbs between Vancouver and Squamish, a shuttle service will be available for this segment of the route.
The ride actually begins and ends in North Vancouver (across Burrard Inlet from the City of Vancouver). Downtown Vancouver is but a 15 minute journey away by municipal ferry (The SeaBus), connecting to an automated subway system (The Skytrain) that links to the airport and other destinations throughout the Lower Mainland.
This Ride features the very best of scenic cycling along the coast of British Columbia, Canada, including a stopover in the Resort Municipality of Whistler (one of the major attractions of the province and one of the venues for the 2010 Winter Olympics). Our accommodations are first rate (including seven nights with awesome waterfront views!) and most breakfasts and dinners are included in the Ride Package. There is a Happy Hour every night (except the last night).
The ride itself is not for the faint of heart, but the roads are well engineered and the scenery is so spectacular that you will hardly notice the climbs!.
For a detailed itinerary of the ride, please contact the Ride Leaders.
Our overall rating for this ride is 3B. No ride on any day exceeds 72 km (45 miles). Total distance cycled on the base ride will be approximately 480 km (300 miles) over eight riding days, for an average of 60 km (37.5 miles) per cycling day.
The average daily climb is 980 metres (3,225 feet). On two days, however, climbs will exceed 1,065 m (3,500 feet). On the one day, the climb will be 1,400 metres (4,700 feet) over 69 km (43 miles). On the other day, the climb will be 1,250 metres (4,100 feet) over 53 km (33 miles).
From time to time, riders will face a few steep grades of 8-9 per cent, but these are typically of short duration. Unless the road curves, the top of the climb can usually be seen from the start of the climb.
Weather in southwest British Columbia in early September is generally fine, with daytime high temperatures during the month averaging 19-21 degrees C (66-70 degrees F), depending on location. Nighttime low temperatures vary from 5.5-10.5 degrees C (42-51 degrees F).
However, expect the unexpected. In particular, as we will be cycling in the mountains during the first half of this ride, there could always be rain and/or lower temperatures. Check your favorite weather site on the web just before your departure for a long range forecast.
We definitely recommend bringing along raingear and some colder weather cycling clothing/gloves in your suitcase. If you do not have to use the gear, by all means that is a bonus.
Where possible, we have chosen to avoid major chain hotels on this ride. Where options exist, though, we have opted for the highest quality accommodation possible, as we like our creature comforts.
This ride includes ten breakfasts, one lunch and eight dinners, as well as ten Happy Hours. Wine, beer and non-alcoholic drinks will be served at the Welcoming Dinner and the Farewell Dinner, as well as at all Happy Hours. Drinks at other dinners will normally be extra. Dinners will typically feature a choice of 2-3 entrees, along with an appetizer and dessert.
The ride begins on Sunday, September 1st and ends with checkout on the morning of Thursday, September 12th. Long term parking options are available for those travelling to Vancouver by vehicle. For those coming in by air with bike boxes or bags, these can be left at the hotel and picked up at the end of the Ride.
We will meet at 4:30 pm on September 1st at our hotel in North Vancouver for our first Happy Hour and the Welcoming Dinner. The hotel is within walking distance of the SeaBus terminal for those arriving by public transportation. For those flying into Vancouver (YVR), take the Skytrain (Canada Line) from the airport to Waterfront Station, where you can easily connect to the SeaBus. Bikes, bike boxes or bags and other luggage can be carried on both the Skytrain and SeaBus.
The hotel in North Vancouver will be our base of operations for the first two nights and the last night. Our stay in Whistler will be for two nights. We will be staying in the same hotel in Squamish on two separate nights. All other hotel stays are of one night in duration.
For those interested in renting bikes, we are able to refer you to a company in the Vancouver area that does offer this service. This company will deliver rental bikes to our North Vancouver hotel prior to the start of the Ride.
Tour cost is $2,950 per person. This includes 11 nights of accommodation, 10 breakfasts, 1 lunch, 8 dinners, 10 Happy Hours, cue sheets/maps, GPX files and bike bag/box storage, The cost excludes the non-refundable BAC ride registration fee of $50 (now payable directly to BAC at time of registration). Also not included is the cost of transport of riders and bicycles on three ferry routes operated by BC Ferries ($16-$20 CDN per person, depending on the route). A fourth ferry ride is free.
For those arriving with a vehicle, secured underground parking is available at the North Vancouver hotel at a cost of $20 CDN plus taxes per day. However, there is a free parking option also available.
An initial deposit of $1,250 dollars (excluding the non-refundable BAC registration fees of $50) is required, with the balance payable by credit card no later than June 1, 2019. The cost for a solo supplement is $1,200. This additional supplement must be paid by check to BAC at the time of registration. Checks should be made out to "BAC" with a notation of the tour name included on the check. The check should be mailed to Bicycle Adventure Club, PO Box 23998 San Diego, CA 92193.
The Budget has been determined on the basis of an exchange rate of $1.00 CDN = $0.80 US. The final payment may be adjusted to reflect changes in the exchange rate.
It is recommended that singles who want a roommate try to find their own. However, after receipt of the initial deposit, a single without a roommate will be placed on the ride and given until November 1, 2018 to find a roommate. If they are unable to find a roommate by that time, they will have the option to receive a full refund (minus the BAC Registration Fee and Payment Processing Fee) or pay the $1,200 Solo Supplement and stay on the ride. If a single elects to pay the supplement, they may continue to seek a roommate, but must plan to participate without a roommate if necessary. The Ride Leaders will assist by attempting to match singles who apply for the ride.
To submit a request to join this ride, use the "links' displayed above this Ride Description. When you are accepted, the Ride Leaders will move you from the Waitlist to the Pending List. At this time, you will receive an email notification to login into the BAC Website in order to sign the release of liability form and to pay both the non-refundable BAC registration fee and initial deposit of $1,250 to BAC using your credit card. As soon as your deposit has been processed, your name(s) will be added to the Participants List.
To contact the Ride Leader,"click" the name at the top of this Ride Description.
The BAC ride registration fee is not refundable unless the entire tour is cancelled. Refunds for cancellations will depend upon whether a replacement rider signs up and on costs that can be recouped. The amount refunded will be based on the principle that the remaining participants on the tour will not incur any additional cost as the result of a cancellation. If the cancelling participant is replaced before the ride starts, the refund will be made at that time. If the participant is not replaced, any refund will be determined once the ride ends and a final expense report is completed. To contact the Ride Leaders, "click" the names at the top of this Ride Description.
Please remember that BAC Ride Leaders are volunteers, and that successful tours depend on participants providing much of their own support. Participants are expected to come to the ride well trained, in good health and ready to accomplish the required daily riding using well-maintained bicycles.

Q: django 'str' object has no attribute '_meta' Sorry for my English. I have some data from another server, but I need to output this data like JSON.
if i print response in console:
{
    'responseStatus': {
        'status': [],
    },
    'modelYear': [
        1981,
        1982

    ]
}

but, if i return this response like HttpResponse i have an error

AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute '_meta'

this my code:
data = serializers.serialize('json', response, ensure_ascii=False)
return HttpResponse(data, content_type="application/json")

UPD:
I tried with this:
from django.http import JsonResponse

def some_view(request):
    ...
    return JsonResponse(response, safe=False)

but have error:

Object of type 'ModelYears' is not JSON serializable

UPD:
I did like this:
import json
from django.http import JsonResponse

def some_view(request):
        ...
        return JsonResponse(json.loads(response))

but have error:
the JSON object must be str, bytes or bytearray, not 'ModelYears'

A: The Django docs says the following about the serializers framework:

Django's serialization framework provides a mechanism for "translating" Django models into other formats.

The error indicates that your variable response is a string and not an Django model object. The string seems to be valid JSON so you could use JsonResponse:
import json
from django.http import JsonResponse

# View
return JsonResponse(json.loads(response))

A: Replace your code with following:
from django.http import JsonResponse

def some_view(request):
    ...
    return JsonResponse(response)

Instead of serializing and sending it via httpresponse.

A: This works for python 3.6 and Django 2.0
from django.contrib.auth.decorators import login_required
from django.http import HttpResponse, JsonResponse
import requests

@login_required()
def get_some_items(request):
    headers = {"Authorization": "Token uydsajbkdn3kh2gj32k432hjgv4h32bhmf"}
    host = "https://site/api/items"

    response = requests.get(host, headers=headers)
    result = JsonResponse(response.json())

    return HttpResponse(result, content_type='application/json')

As far as dress codes go, summer is a tricky time.
Men, especially, have a tendency to go too far to the relaxed end of the spectrum, getting themselves into trouble by dressing inappropriately.
We've created a list of seven items that should be best avoided, as well as exactly what they should be replaced with in the warmer weather.
These seven simple upgrades will take your summer wardrobe to the next level.
DON'T: Wear a Hawaiian shirt to work.
Hawaiian-style aloha shirts in subtle patterns and colours are trending these days, taking over the footpaths and bars with their pronounced style. One place they're not taking over: the office.
DO: Wear a solid button-up in short sleeves.
But just because the patterns of Hawaiian shirts are too much for the office doesn't mean short-sleeved shirts themselves are. These days, offices are casual enough in the summer to allow for short-sleeved shirts, without running afoul of established dress norms.
Make short-sleeved shirts a staple of your work and weekend wardrobe this summer. Just make sure you follow our guide to looking good in a short-sleeved shirt.
Sandals -- either with (shudder) or without socks -- are completely unacceptable for men. Your toes and feet should be covered at all times while indoors, even in the summer.
We've said it before, and we'll say it again: wearing open-toed shoes is disgusting unless you're on the beach, or going to the beach.
Instead, wear literally anything else that will keep your toes firmly within the confines of your shoe.
DON'T: Wear shorts to work.
The debate rages, though it never should have begun in the first place. No, you can't wear shorts to work, even if you work in the most casual of casual offices. It's just too informal of a style, and it can create awkward situations in an office environment.
Keep your legs covered at all times of the year.
But just because you can't wear shorts doesn't mean you need to roast all summer. Lightweight pants will be your saviour, keeping you both cool and appropriate this summer.
Boat shoes are casual shoes meant to be worn on yachts. They don't look quite right with pants, and have a tendency to look beat-up and juvenile.
DO: Wear other loafer-style shoes.
Instead, wear an upscale pair of any other kind of moc-toed loafer-style shoe. They ditch the sporty styling of the boat shoe, but keep everything that makes it such a summer staple, like a low profile that looks great with no-show socks.
Sure, it would be great if we could all wear our athletic shoes all the time, but it's just not possible. Even the most basic and stylish ones have a certain sporty aesthetic that doesn't belong outside of the gym.
DO: Wear simple white sneakers.
Instead, opt for another summer staple: the plain white leather sneaker. These have been super popular for a few years now, and as long as they're relatively clean and in good shape, they can be worn in a variety of summer situations.
It's definitely tempting to go sans socks, but we'd advise against it. Not wearing socks means potentially leaving your feet smelly and offensive to your friends and coworkers.
Instead, take advantage of the sock that was designed to keep your foot sweat-free without being seen. It's called the loafer sock, and it's an indispensable tool in combatting summer sweat.
Wool is just too heavy a fabric for the summer. Even on the coolest days of the season, you'll still be sweating like crazy.
DO: Wear suits in lighter fabrics.
Instead, decide on a more summer-appropriate fabric for your jackets, like linen or a lighter cotton. These are less formal options than wool, but are suitable for some more casual offices and summer weddings.

Thousands of Sinhalese families had been settled in the Trinco, Batticaloa and Amparai District
of the Eastern Province through Mahaweli authority. Almost all provisions of the 13th
amendment with respect to land have been disregarded. Through the Mahaweli 'L' System,
government is in the process of doing and planning a massive Sinhala colonization in the north
to alter the demographic composition of the Northern Province.
4.1 Mahaweli Authority
The Mahaweli Master Plan in the Dry Zone of Sri Lanka has earmarked 365,000 ha of land for
development of Agriculture in 13 Systems identified under the by the Mahaweli Development
Programme. It was intended to construct a series of reservoirs and hydroelectricity plants and
develop a large area of land with irrigation in order to facilitate the establishment of new
settlements and development of agriculture. The implementation of the Mahaweli Development
Programme is a mandate of the Mahaweli Authority of Sri Lanka established in 1979 by an Act
of Parliament.
The Mahaweli Development Authority's current task is to implement the envisaged project plan
in the balance areas proposed by the Master plan and also Gazetted areas. This includes
rehabilitating and maintenance of the irrigation network, administration of the land, enhancing
the production of agriculture and the post settlement process. Further, MASL is responsible for
managing irrigation water for 101,526 ha of Irrigable land in the dry zone.
"The Minister may, with the approval of the President from time to time, by Order published in
the Gazette declare any area which in the opinion of the Minister can be developed with the
water resources of the Mahaweli Ganga or of any major river to be a special area (herein after
referred to as " Special Area ") in or in relation to which the Authority may, subject to the other
provisions of this Act, exercise, perform and discharge all or any of its powers, duties and
functions." It shall be lawful for the Minister to whom the administration of this Act is assigned to
exercise in, or with respect to, any special area:
(a)The powers conferred on a Minister by paragraph (b) of the proviso to section 20 of the
Land Development Ordinance;
(b)The powers conferred on a Minister by sections 49, 51, 79 and 80 of the Crown Lands
Ordinance.; and
(c)The powers relating to special grants and leases of State land conferred on a Minister
by any provision of the Crown Lands Ordinance or by any Order or regulation made
thereunder."
Mahaweli Act provisions are very clear it gives a license to the Minister in charge of the
Mahaweli Authority to do whatever he likes with respect to land, disregarding the provisions of
the 13th Amendment to the Constitution.
In the original Mahaweli master plan developed by the foreign experts, the project was not
targeted the Northern Province. In 1988 through a special Gazette notification Mahaweli 'L'
system was created and expanded through another special Gazette notification in 2007 for the
exclusive purpose of Sinhala colonization of a strategic piece of merging Land of North and East
Provinces, in order to wedge the North from the East to seek to permanently wedge the
demographic contiguity of the northern and eastern provinces.
Boundaries of Mahaweli L Zone
The Manalaru (Manalaru (Welioya) centred Mahaweli L Zone is under a massive infra structural
development at present. It is learnt that after the ending of the war in 2009, through expansion
of Mahaweli project in L Zone, 6000 Sinhala families have been colonized in the Manalaru
(Welioya), Vavuniya North divisions. Over 2000 acres of livelihood lands belongs to the Tamil
community, displaced in 1984 also redistributed to the colonized Sinhala families. The Mahaweli
Development Authority has spent over Rs.3000 million for providing development assistance in
the Manalaru (Welioya) area, after the war. There is no single Tamil family benefited through the
Mahaweli programme in the region. The following is the details of paddy lands redistributed to
the colonized Sinhala families which belongs to the Tamil community who displaced in 1984
from the bordering villages of Mullaitivu District

Forbes: Goldman Sachs to profit from FrankenDodd fake financial reform bill
Told ya so:
The provisions that seem most damaging to the $850 billion (assets) bank may not affect it much at all. Some might even make it richer. For example:
Derivatives The measure mandates that derivative trading be shifted to organized exchanges for more transparency. Trading accounted for 78% of Goldman's $21.6 billion in revenue in the first half of 2010, and much of that involved over-the-counter derivatives, which carry higher margins than their exchange-traded equivalents.
But Goldman is welcoming the shift to the exchanges, because in a business where profits come from volume and speed of execution, Goldman tends to win. [...]
Proprietary Trading The "Volcker Rule" (named after former Fed Chairman Paul Volcker, who proposed it) bans banks from engaging in short-term trading solely to earn a profit. Goldman does a lot of this across its fixed-income and equities trading businesses, which together accounted for 63% of revenue in the first half of this year. It's likely to spin off a stock-trading division with $900 million a year in profit, says Rochdale Securities analyst Richard Bove, although it might grab back much of that sum through a management contract. A $10 billion Special Situations Group, which trades various types of debt, might survive. Buying a client's debt, after all, looks a lot like lending money.
Capital Requirement Goldman would be hurt if it were required to set aside significantly more capital for its riskier activities, such as bond trading or maintaining an inventory of securities for clients to buy. But it's doubtful the requirements will be too stiff because of political resistance to pushing capital standards too high and hurting the competitiveness of the banking industry.
Exactly. It's doubtful the requirements will be too stiff because of political resistance to pushing capital standards too high and hurting the competitiveness of the banking industry. And of course there's absolutely nothing to address Too Big To Fail. Indeed, Goldman still has a near-trillion-dollar balance sheet (and who knows how much they are hiding off-balance-sheet).

To have curly long hair.
Michelle first needed to remove all the tangles from her hair. I distributed a very generous amount of Curl Keeper™ throughout her clean wet hair.

It does take a long time to completely dry her hair, but the final look is well worth the wait.
She needs to control her frizzy hair.
Red had extremely dry damaged hair. She required several applications of Pure Silk Protein and mounds of Curl Keeper™ with Silk Leave-in Conditioner to control every strand of her hair. These products need to be applied when her hair is soaking wet and combed through thoroughly from roots to ends using a Bone Comb. Red can try to use the Skip Curl technique to produce well defined ringlets proving she leaves her hair to completely air dry. She can expect her hair to take over two hours to dry completely.
She wants to grow her hair long and control the frizz.
Marcia has been a client of ours for some time. She has learned exactly how to control her curls. Her busy life style demands easy styling solutions and she loves Curl Keeper.
To have control of my hair in the ways I like to wear it.
I combed Curl Keeper™ on her wet hair from roots to ends. On the rough ends I applied Silk Leave-in Conditioner, this was the only area that needed this additional treatment. I used my Skip Curl technique on her hair to produce perfect ringlets. Her hair was left to air dry completely. Once the hair was totally dry, I loosened her curls to soften her overall look.
Cheryl is very tall and can carry long hair. She has to grow out a wedge layer in the back but shorter pieces around her face added a fresh look to her style.
Summer's hair was generally very healthy and only needed the very tips of her hair cut. With Summer, I skip curled perfect ringlets in her hair before cutting which made it very easy to focus on the tips of her hair in order to keep her hair long and healthy. She needs to apply a generous amount of Curl Keeper™ from the roots to the tips of her hair to control her frizz. The length of her hair reduced the bulk automatically as it weighted her hair down during the drying process. Over the years she has learned to enjoy her long curly hair accepting that hair of this length takes a longer time to air dry.
To continue keeping my hair long and healthy.
Nooshin has very tight curls. Her hair is in wonderful condition and is very easy to work with. A Tunnel Cut was done to remove the excess from the bulky section of her hair. By applying a generous amount of Curl Keeper™ and Silk Leave-in Conditioner we were able to control all the frizz in her hair. Nooshin's hair will always look better if left to air dry as this will help to minimize the frizz and let her curls settle properly.
To learn new ways of styling her hair. Maybe some highlights would be fun.
We worked Silk Leave-in Conditioner into the hair with a fine-toothed comb, then followed with Curl Keeper™ using the same method. This provided her with a deep treatment of conditioner allowing the cuticles to absorb moisture. With the Skip Curl technique and 100% air drying, we achieved perfect ringlets in her hair that were completely manageable and tangle-free.
To keep the length but make hair more manageable.
Kathryn had a severe problem with excess bulk in her hair. She was not able to wear shorter styles as her hair expands as it dries. She was a perfect candidate for the Tunnel Cut. She has many invisible tunnels throughout her hair. This allows her to wear her hair short and enjoy all the new looks of today's styles. Her extreme dry frizz was easily tamed with mega doses of Pure Silk Protein and Curl Keeper™. Her hair will continue to soften with repeated applications of Pure Silk Protein.
To enjoy new, younger, fresher hair styles.
Amanda has extremely thick hair with tight curls that can tangle easily. She required deep conditioning with Silk Leave-in Conditioner to smooth the cuticles and add moisture to her hair. By combing lots of Curl Keeper™ through her hair and using the Skip Curl technique, perfect ringlets were formed. Her hair needed to completely air dry on its own without the use of a hair dryer.
Kate's hair needed moisture badly. We added silk protein in three ways – the shampoo, the conditioner and the treatment. Her hair reacted to the silk protein by drinking in this new moisture. We followed with a healthy dose of Curl Keeper™ applied by combing from roots to tips, then using the Skip Curl technique. Kate's hair needed to totally air dry without touching. This hair type cannot go near a hairdryer or diffuser – the less it's touched, the better it looks!
To have hair that will allow experimenting with many different hairstyles.

    var container = $("#listing-new");

    if (!container.is(e.target) // if the target of the click isn't the container...
        && container.has(e.target).length === 0) // ... nor a descendant of the container
    {
        container.hide();
    }
});
 });

What should I do? As I said, I'd like to be able to click on a link, show the div, then hide the div again when the user clicks outside of it.

A: Check "onblur", this is called when a Object was selected/active and then deselected.
Example in HTML
<div onBlur="disable()">

A: here you go:
$("#listing-new").hide();

$(document).on('click',function(e){
    if (!$('#listing-new').is(e.target) && $('#listing-new').has(e.target).length === 0 && !$('#list-item-btn').is(e.target) && $('#list-item-btn').has(e.target).length === 0){
        $("#listing-new").hide();
        }
    else{
        $("#listing-new").show();
        }
});
