Virginia Commonwealth University plans to increase student fees so it can give $733,000 more to the basketball program, including for coaches' raises.
Head coach Shaka Smart was given a $1.2 million contract after taking the Rams to the NCAA Final Four this past season.
According to VCU's budget for the fiscal year that begins July 1, the school plans to increase its mandatory university fee by $50 per student to raise about $11 million for intercollegiate athletics, an $875,000 increase.
VCU figures show that 37 percent of the $1,637 per-student university fee for 2011-12 will go toward intercollegiate athletics. That includes salaries, scholarships, and sports-facility repairs.
Spokeswoman Pam Lepley said Tuesday that private donations and ticket revenue, along with the university fee allocation, fund VCU athletics programs.

What the Cleveland Cavaliers should do with their #1 and #4 pick?
The Cleveland Cavaliers are making the big news! They are making it to the NBA Finals again against the San Antonio Spurs with Lebron James!!! Oh, that was 2007. Fast forward to 2011, the team had one of its worst seasons since 2003 and lost 26 games in a row. This is one season after making the NBA playoffs and losing it's franchise player in Lebron James to the Miami Heat.
Now all the Cavalier fans in Cleveland are waiting for the NBA draft on June 23rd. That day will be the Super Bowl for the city of Cleveland because they have the first and fourth pick in this year's draft. This is a big deal for this franchise because these two players that are coming in can change them from a 63 game loser to a 63 game winner. But the main question is who?
Let me start by saying they need to focus on shooting guards, centers, and small forwards. While there may not be players that fit that bill for this Cavaliers system, I say they choose Derrick Williams with #1 and then #4 Kyrie Irving.
The reason I say that they should do this is because as of right now, the best player in college basketball this season in the post was Arizona's Derrick Williams. He brought the toughness and energy that this Cavaliers team is going to need. I think with him in the frontcourt next to a guy like J.J. Hickson could make for a dominant combo and can cause matchup problems in the future. Williams is the best athlete and overall player in this draft to go #1 and a city like Cleveland will embrace him and show him how to become a star like they saw Clippers Blake Griffin turn into this season.
Now if you have reached this point in the article you might have said, "How can they get Kyrie at #4? He is a projected #1 pick? The answer is Yes, he has been projected to be a number 1 pick. But here is my reasoning why they can get him 2 picks later.
The Timberwolves have probably the most point guards in the NBA with Jonny Flynn, Luke Ridnour, and Rubio coming to the NBA shortly. They don't need another point guard on their roster. They were first in the league in rebounding next year and they are going to look for a scorer or a leader to change the dynamic of that team. They just let too many teams take advantage of them on defense and they didn't really have an answer on the offensive end besides the double double machine Kevin Love.
Then you look at the Jazz. What are they lacking? They are lacking a guy who can shoot the ball and be a versatile forward/guard who can play multiple positions. They already have Devin Harris who is an All Star Point Guard and have Ronnie Price and Earl Watson to back him up. Why would they need another point guard in their system? Kyrie Irving wouldn't even be able to play that much if he was selected by them and he wouldn't be a fit. That is why I see him being a perfect fit at #4 for the Cavaliers.
Now a lot of people have been saying they will pick up the Lituanian center Jonas Valanciunas which is another good idea but if they grab Williams with the number one pick, they won't need to address the center position so early. They also have the 32nd pick in the second round and there are plenty of centers in this draft and they can be picked up and make an NBA roster.
In the end, if the Cavaliers want to get back to greatness they need to make one of these choices. If they get both, then they are in shape to be REALLY good next year. I think they should be able to make those picks based on the situations they are presented with and they will turn from rags to riches in just one season. I really think Cleveland will be back next season. Hey, if the Indians are in first place in the American League Central throughout the month of May, anything can happen. You just have to get lucky.
Vote: What is the best play in baseball so far this season?
Hey baseball fans, I have watched a lot of baseball growing up and I have to say that this season has been the year of the glove. There have been a ton of fantastic plays from a lot of teams around the league and they have been very fun to watch. My question to you the fans is which one is the greatest? VOTE BELOW to decide which one is the best.
Jose Bautista is not on steriods, he has excellent timing.
We ignore Jose Bautista. At best, we politely pay half-attention, not ready or willing to acknowledge the numbers he's putting up and maybe hoping he stops. The Blue Jays' right fielder leads the major leagues in batting average, home runs, runs scored, total bases, on-base and slugging percentage and OPS. Bautista is the tree in the forest. Yes, we hear, but why do we pretend not to? He's a quiet, understated man who plays for a Canadian team that is virtually ignored in the U.S., even among baseball fans. Where is he from? Why is he never on TV? Does he speak English? How did he get so good?
It's that last question that's our greatest fear and, let's be honest, a main reason Bautista's spectacular performance has yet to be given its due. We're afraid he's using PEDs, and that's an issue we're all tired of dealing with. Our energy and attention spans regarding the steroid era are exhausted; we're Barry Bondsed out. Bonds, however, might wind up being the name that surfaces here. Look at the similarities between Bonds' numbers through the Giants' first 40 games of 2001, when Bonds hit 73 home runs at the age of 36, and Bautista's numbers at age 30, through the Blue Jays' first 40 games of 2011.
Bautista is hitting home runs at a historic pace and he's doing it in what we like to refer to as the post-steroids era. So we watch and hold our collective breath, hoping we're not being lured into enthusiasm for a home run chase that degenerates into something like the joyless march to the inevitable through which we all slogged in 2007, when Bonds finished his career with 762 home runs.
Fifty-four home runs last season was enough to say "Wow," but not enough to force historic comparisons or stare the PED issue square in the face again. The consensus reaction to Bonds' perjury trial this year might best be described as our long national indifference. I hope we don't remain indifferent to Bautista, or to the Blue Jays for that matter. Bautista is the best hitter in baseball and, eventually, we have to relax and trust what we're seeing again.
Sorry for the delay fans, I'm back for the Summer!
Hey Sports Cycle fans! I am sorry I left you all hanging for the past few weeks when it came to update new stories and new columns around the sports world. I just finished up finals week at Marquette and just got home from a 16 hour drive from Milwaukee to New York.


WASHINGTON (AP) _ The Supreme Court's rejection of a mentally retarded couple's attempt to regain the 3-year-old son taken from them is being portrayed as ″unenlightened″ by a lawyer involved in the case.
The court, without comment Monday, let stand rulings that Paul and Patti Ensign were unfit parents even though they loved their son and never intentionally neglected him.
Barbara Heathfield, a Chicago lawyer who helped represent the Ensigns, said Monday she was shaken by the legal system's treatment of the couple.
″We concede that the Ensigns are not model parents. But there should have been some consideration, in an enlightened society, of those actions that could be taken without having to terminate all parental rights,″ she said.
Paul Ensign Jr. was born Nov. 28, 1984. The Ensigns have not seen him since December 1985, when he was placed in the custody of the state Department of Children and Family Services.
The Ensigns' parental rights were terminated then, and state officials were empowered to consent to Paul Jr.'s adoption. Monday's action will clear the way for adoption of the child, who has been living in a foster home.
Questions about the Ensigns' ability to care for their son were raised when he was 11 or 12 days old when Paul Jr. fell from a plastic seat held by his father outside a restaurant in Sullivan, Ill., where the couple then lived.
Someone who saw the accident notified the Moultrie County nurse, who examined Paul Jr. and later sent him to a doctor for a further check-up. He had not been harmed.
At the 1985 hearing, witnesses testified that the Ensigns were loving parents but could not care for Paul Jr. without help.
A psychologist testified that Ensign has an IQ of 43 and is functioning at a 7-year-old's level. Mrs. Ensign has an IQ of 36, the psychologist said.
The couple's apartment was found generally to be sanitary, and no signs of abuse were ever observed on Paul Jr., who suffers from an undersized brain.
A state appeals court upheld the termination of the Ensigns' parental rights.
-Agreed to decide in a case from New York City whether local governments may regulate the quality of cable television signals. The Federal Communications Commission opposes such local regulation, saying it could hinder the cable industry's growth.
-Agreed to consider letting the Reagan administration stop regulating some natural gas prices, a move government lawyers say could save consumers $100 million a year.
-Were urged during arguments in a Mississippi case to rule that the Constitution's ban on ″excessive fines″ applies not only to criminal cases but to the damages awarded in non-criminal, personal injury lawsuits as well. The court's decision is expected by July.
-Heard lawyers representing the Reagan administration and white police officers in New York City argue in favor of making it easier to file lawsuits attacking affirmative action plans benefiting minorities.

Q: Node.js Custom Middleware Using An Object Of Functions In Express.js, ihave been having problems with making my own middleware. I know that middleware is supposed to be a function, but can the middleware function be inside an array.
For Example:
module.js:
module.exports = {
  function1: function(req, res) {
    console.log('function1');
    //second edit.
    I want to return something as well
    return 'hello world';
    //if i add next(); it wont call the next();
  },
  function2: function(req, res) {
     console.log('function2');
  }
}

app.js:
const express = require('express')
, middleware = require('./module')
, app = express();

app.use(middleware.function1);
app.use(middleware.function2);

app.get('/', (req, res) => {
  //this is an edit: i want to use some code here like
  res.send('Hello World');
  middleware.function1();
});

app.listen(8080);

When i Do This, the webpage just doesn't load. Any Help?

A: You are missing crucial part next function  (which is callback to trigger next middleware in the sequence) in defining middleware functions function1 and function2.
Have you seen https://expressjs.com/en/guide/writing-middleware.html ?
In below code, you are not passing req, res to the middleware function.
app.get('/', (req, res) => {
  middleware.function1();
});

OR call it directly as below
app.get('/', middleware.function1);

Kickoff in Carinthia: SWARCO Raiders open 2010 season
Raiders Auf Deutsch
Europe's number one team is hunting for championships again. On Sunday, March 28, the SWARCO Raiders, marketing teammate of The Oakland Raiders, open the new Austrian Football League (AFL) season on the road against the Carinthian Black Lions. Kickoff at Villacher Lind Stadium is at 6 a.m. PT (3 p.m. CET).
As always you can follow the action live on the Internet. And on time for the new season the SWARCO Raiders present their live-stream in a new design with new features, better viewing quality and, for home games, different camera angles. You can watch the live-stream at http://www.raiderstv.at/.
As the reigning Eurobowl champion, the Tyroleans are the heavy favorites to win their opener. Though, they will not take their opponent lightly. "I expect to play against a really good team. They have the same quarterback as last season and brought most players back. That gives them good continuity," said SWARCO Raiders head coach Santos Carrillo. "We will not take them easy. We have to be prepared for everything. I even expect to see some trick plays."
In their past meetings the Tyroleans had no problems handling the Black Lions. Since the Carinthian Falcons and Cowboys merged to form the Black Lions in 2005, the SWARCO Raiders have won all five contests scoring an average of 40.8 points per game, while allowing an average of 5.6 points per meeting.
Last season the team from Innsbruck beat the Carinthians at home by a score of 54-7. The SWARCO Raiders scored touchdowns on their first seven possessions. RB Florian Grein had a total of three touchdowns. He is back at full strength after suffering a torn ACL last season. To help him with the running game, the SWARCO Raiders signed RB Tory Cooper.
To run the offense though, the Tyroleans brought in QB Leon Jackson III. He played in France last year and is excited to kick off the new season with his new team. "I came here two months ago and I haven't played a single game, yet. I want to play so badly," Jackson explained.
Last season he completed 111 of 167 passes for 1,415 yards with 15 touchdowns and only one interception for Les Argonauts d'Aix en Provence. He also added 78 rushes for 513 yards and 10 scores. Similar numbers can be found on Black Lions QB D.J. Hernandez's stats sheet. He led the AFL in 2009 with 127 rushing yards per game (93 rushes for762 yards) and scored 12 times on the ground. Hernandez also completed 84 of 146 passes for 1,096 yards with nine touchdowns and five interceptions.
No wonder Jackson shows great respect for his counterpart with the season opener just around the corner, "I expect the Black Lions to come out swinging and give us all they have. It's important for us to focus on our strengths and execute well. This is the first game of the season. It's going to be very emotional."

This research-based post will help you to better understand your 5 to 10 month old child.
Several studies have shown that infants understand some basic concepts about numbers. By around 5 months, infants show surprise when addition or subtraction rules are violated. For example, when babies see an object added to or subtracted from other objects hidden behind a screen, they will stare longer at the objects if an incorrect number of them are revealed when the screen is removed. If they see the correct number of items when the screen is removed, they stare at the objects for a shorter period of time, showing that they can distinguish between correct and incorrect results.

Peasant Rebellions of the Caspian Region During the Iranian Constitutional Revolution, 1906-1909
This article was published in Int. J. Middle East Stud. 23, Cambridge U. Press, 1991.
Despite a growing literature on peasant movements in the early 20th century, the story of the peasant rebellions of the Caspian region at the time of the Iranian Constitutional Revolution of 1906–11 has been little studied. A close look at three sets of materials—the newspapers of the Constitutional Revolution, among them Majlis (1906–1908), Anjuman (1906–1909), Habl al-Matīn (1907–1909), and Sūr-i Isrāfīl (1907–8); British diplomatic reports; and several regional studies and memoirs of the period—reveal that, during the First Constitutional Period of 1906–1908, a number of strikes and sit-ins were carried out by the peasants, often with the support of craftsmen and workers, who had initiated trade union activity. Such revolts were considerably more sustained and prominent in the northern areas of Gilan and Azerbayjan, which were directly influenced by the flow of radical ideas from the Russian Caucasus; they also benefited from a long history of social struggle among the craftsmen and small shopkeepers (pīshahvarāns), who maintained their guilds, and a tradition of alliances among the craftsmen, the urban poor, and the poor peasants.

Namak Ishq ka at Bandra Fort
Posted by: fenilseta on: November 4, 2009
ON A SONG: Rekha Bhardwaj
Rekha Bhardwaj's sweet, lilting tunes will soothe your city soul this Saturday…
REAGAN GAVIN RASQUINHA Times News Network (BOMBAY TIMES; November 4, 2009)
Music was in Rekha Bhardwaj's blood as far back as she can remember. The wife of Bollywood filmmaker Vishal Bhardwaj recalls "waking up early on cold Delhi winter mornings, the air rich with the smell of brewing breakfast tea and spiritual music, and hearing my parents planning out the day, while I, still swathed in my warm quilt, nurtured all these sounds".
From that time, the seed of song was planted in her fertile mind. And this Saturday, the critically acclaimed playback singer of such Bollywood films as Maachis in 1996, Maqbool in 2003, Omkara in 2006 and Dilli 6 and Kaminey in 2009, will perform her first big concert in Mumbai. It's at the Bandra Fort, 7 pm, for the Times of India Crest Edition. Rekha is all excited. "It's as much of an occasion for me. The venue is beautiful. I'm going to rock the audience with a full band while performing my album Ishqa Ishqa and some film songs," she said.
Rekha, who trained at the Gandharva Mahavidyalaya for a couple of years and did her Bachelor's degree in music at Hindu College, Delhi, is well-versed in the Indore gharana and ably trained by her guruji Pandit Amarnath. She weaves in her voice well with the Merukhand form that is such an intrinsic part of this gharana. "K Pannalal was the king of rubaiyat, I was exposed to that a lot. For classical singing, Gangubai Hangal comes to mind and in semi classical Girija Devi was my favourite," she said.
She describes her voice as being distinct, and particularly suited to a certain genre. "It's neither too bassy nor too thin. I never try to consciously imitate anyone," she asserted, continuing, "I sang Namak Ishq ka from Omkara. After that, I sang a thumri for Laaga Chunri Mein Daag for Shantanu Moitra. I'm even doing an upcoming one with Shankar Ehsaan Loy which is due in December. Rahman is a sufi so that makes all the difference. I prefer anything that moves my soul. I've come very far from ghazals. I've not done ghazals for nine or ten years. Perhaps I should get back into it. This is my only way to express myself, I don't know any other way."
Free passes for Rekha Bhardwaj's concert are available between 10 am and 6 pm at the Times of India offices at D. N. Road; Matulya Mill Compound, S. B. Marg, Lower Parel (W); and, Trade Avenue, Ground Floor, Suren Road, Andheri (E).

In addition to the introduction of the S-Class saloons (S450L and Maybach S560 & S650), Mercedes-Benz Malaysia has also made available in the local market the Mercedes-Benz S560 Cabriolet and Mercedes-AMG S63 Coupe as part of its 'Dream Cars' offering.
Also receiving facelift improvements like the saloons, these two-door dream cars get the same widescreen cockpit, new steering wheels, and extended driving assistance systems. But exclusive to the two-door cars are the innovative OLED tail lamps.
A new feature, the OLED (organic light emitting diode) tail lamps are made up of wafer-thin layers of organic materials printed on a glass plate and made to illuminate. One tail lamp has 33 OLEDs that emit a homogeneous light pattern in all directions, day and night. It also employs Mercedes-Benz multi-level technology with different levels of light intensity for brake lamps and turn signal indicators depending on driving condition and ambient brightness. Further, locking and unlocking the car activates an animated dynamic light sequence with subsequent dimming of the tail lamps.
The S560 Cabriolet is powered by a 4.0L V8 bi-turbo engine with power output of 469 hp and 700 Nm, like the Mercedes-Maybach S560 saloon. The official 0 – 100 km/h sprint time for the Cabriolet is 4.6 seconds, with top speed capped at 250 km/h.
The exterior of the S560 Cabriolet gets new front and rear bumpers. The front apron has a chrome-plated splitter and large air inlets. The side skirts are also changed, and the twin tailpipe trim are chrome-plated and sport the V12 look. Fitted with Airmatic air suspension, the S560 Cabriolet sits on 20″ wheels.
Inside, the widescreen cockpit is emphasised by the twin high-resolution 12.3″ screens under one sheet of glass to make it look nearly seamless. Drivers can choose between three visual styles for the digital cockpit i.e. Classic, Sporty and Progressive.
Driver conveniences include the Touch Control buttons on the steering wheel which respond to swiping motions like a smartphone screen, enabling the driver to access functions in the instrument cluster and infotainment system without taking his/her hands off the wheel. The steering-mounted controls for Distronic and cruise control are also a new feature.
Active Distance Control Distronic and Active Steering Assist is part of the Intelligent Drive driving assistance systems, and helps keep the car at a safe distance and steer using the map and navigation data as reference. The vehicle speed is adjusted automatically ahead of bends, junctions and roundabouts (may vary according to country).
Further, the Linguatronic voice control now also includes the control of vehicle functions such as the climate control, seat heating/ventilation, interior lighting, fragrancing/ionisation, seat massage and head-up display. The latest version of Comand Online features fast 3D hard-disc navigation with topographical map display, photo-realistic 3D buildings and 3D map rotations. It can also display comprehensive information such as real-time traffic, weather, petrol stations and parking spaces. Comand Online also features Near Field Communication (NFC) which transforms your smartphone into a digital vehicle key. Additionally, the smartphone integration package has Android Auto and Apple CarPlay connectivity. There's also a Qi wireless charging pad for extra convenience.
The optional Energizing comfort control integrates the climate control, fragrancing, seat heating, ventilation and massage, lighting and music to correspond to specific mood programmes. Up to six programmes are available i.e. Freshness, Warmth, Vitality, Joy, Comfort and Training (with three training modes within). These programmes run in ten-minute intervals and are backed by suitable music and ambient lighting.
The interior has three new trim lines i.e. high-gloss brown burr walnut wood, satin-finish grey ash wood, and flowing lines designo magnolia wood; as well as three new upholstery lines i.e. designo Exclusive nappa leather AMG Line Plus procelain/tizian red, designo Exclusive nappa leather procelain/tizian red, and designo Exclusive nappa leather AMG Line Plus Bengal red/black.
The Mercedes-Benz S560 Cabriolet retails at RM1,310,662.21 (on the road without insurance or sales tax).
The more beast-y AMG S63 Coupe seen here is the Yellow Night edition in limited availability. It comes with either a selenite grey magno or night black magno paint job with yellow trim strip on the wing mirror housings. This edition also comes with 7-spoke light-alloy wheels in black with high-sheen rim flanges; yellow-painted brake calipers from the AMG high-performance composite ceramic braking system, like the Edition 1; AMG racing stripes; and large high-gloss black front splitter and boot spoiler lip (these are in carbon fibre if you opt for the Carbon Fibre package).
Shaping the front of the car is the new AMG Panamericana grille and large air inlets in high-gloss black, while the side skirts with 3D inlays in high-sheen chrome give the coupe a low-slung look. The rear of the S63 Coupe gets an updated rear apron with diffuser insert and redesigned model-specific AMG twin tailpipes.
Meanwhile, the interior of the Yellow Night edition coupe has striking yellow accents on the AMG sports seats (powered, and with memory function) and rear seats, on the AMG Performance sports steering wheel as a 12 o'clock marker, on the dashboard, beltline, centre door panels, armrests, centre console as well as floor mats.
The 'Exclusive' package is fitted as standard and includes Exclusive nappa leather upholstery with AMG diamond design and perforations. Nappa leather is also used on the upper dashboard, armrests, and door centre panels. There is also an exclusive IWC-designed analogue clock.
The Mercedes-AMG S63 Coupe utilises a 4.0L bi-turbo V8 engine tuned for 612 hp and 900 Nm; 0 – 100 km/h is timed at 4.2 seconds. Top speed is limited to 250 km/h; this is increased to 300 km/h with the AMG Driver's package.
The V8 engine features the AMG Cyclinder Management system which deactivates four cylinders to lower fuel consumption. In the Comfort transmission driving mode, the cylinder deactivation system is available in a wide engine speed range from 1,000 – 3,250 rpm. The AMG menu in the 12.3″ digital instrument cluster informs if cylinder deactivation is in use and whether the engine is operating at partial or full-load range. The AMG menu also presents other information like boost pressure, oil temperatures, and power output.
The S63 Coupe gets its power to the wheels via the AMG Speedshift MCT 9G transmission which has short shift times and quick reactions to shift paddle commands, a double-clutching function, and fast multiple downshifts. A wet start-off clutch replaces the torque converter of the production model to save on weight and improves throttle input response time; it also has a Race Start function.
The AMG Dynamic Select modes (Comfort, Sport, Sport+, Individual, Race, Curve) modifies engine response, transmission, AMG Ride Control+ adaptive suspension, speed-sensitive steering, ESP and all-wheel drive. The ESP (Electronic Stability Programme) is a 3-stage system i.e. ESP ON for a high level of safety, ESP Sport Handling which allows wider yaw angles before the system intervenes, and ESP OFF which deactivates the system to maximise sporty driving on closed circuits. The Curve mode is active in a speed range between 15 km/h and 180 km/h and uses the Magic Body Control suspension feature that tilts the vehicle by up to 2.65º to the inside of a turn, similar to a motorcycle rider. This reduces perceived lateral forces and increases the ride quality.
The car uses 390 x 36 mm composite brake discs with 6-piston aluminium fixed calipers at the front, and 360 x 24 mm discs with single-piston floating brake calipers in the rear to stop. An AMG ceramic high-performance compound braking system is also available as an option. This offers weight savings of more than 20%.
The Mercedes-AMG S63 Coupe has a retail price of RM1,461,605.60 (on the road without insurance or sales tax).


It's a 12-mile drive up the access road to Cloud Cap on the eastern flanks of Mount Hood, but it takes a strong stomach and about a half hour of careful driving. We debated who among us should get the cherished front seat, the place least likely to induce carsickness (you can check out a back seat perspective of the drive in the video below). It was all for nothing, though, since we all gratefully stayed healthy during the ride to the top. Sarah, Adam and Quiggly joined us for this hike. We were a party of six, plus a small and determined dog!
We started hiking from the packed trailhead parking lot at Cloud Cap right around 10a. The first few miles that led up to the junction with the Timberline Trail were quite pleasant and mostly tree-lined. We took a right turn at the junction with Timberline to start climbing the Cooper Spur Trail. Once we reached above tree line, we were rewarded with expansive views to the north of Mount Adams, Mount Rainier and Mount St. Helens. Skies had been hazy for the last few days but today was far clearer. We reached the Cooper Spur shelter, a 10' square stone shelter built in the 1930s by the Civilian Conservation Corps. It was the perfect place for a break.
We took a brief detour on a spur trail to view Eliot glacier. Sarah and Adam were shocked at the lack of coverage of the lower glacier and took time to point out how low they'd encountered ice in prior hikes. We watched a few parties below who were practicing their skills on portions of the glacier.
The remaining miles were nicely switchbacked and we made steady progress toward a crest that's a common turnaround point.
We decided to proceed along the trail all the way past Tie-In Rock, ending up at the edge of the glacier after exactly 4 miles of hiking for a fantastic lunch and photo spot. Quiggly enjoyed rolling around on the glacier.
On our way up, almost there!
We bypassed a few of the switchbacks on the way down, opting to hop rocks along the edge of the spur. Once back on the switchbacks, I wondered aloud how they were initially formed. Adam knew: the US Forest Service carefully maps them out, using the terrain as a guide. Using tools, they move rocks to the side, carve out a bit of a path and tamp it down. Then hikers' feet do the rest! I thought it was a similar parallel to how mogul courses in skiing are created, since we've watched coaches "set a course" by shoveling a very deliberate pattern of small bumps and troughs. Skiers do the rest as they slalom themselves through the mogul course.
Back at the junction with the Timberline Trail, we opted to go straight instead of turning a left as we'd come up. This took us along the edge of Polallie Canyon. I later learned from the guidebook that this was created in 1980 after heavy rains triggered a massive landslide and a flash flood.
It was an impressive canyon, and one of the cooler sights was a quartet of trees barely hanging onto the cliff edge by their roots. After checking out the Tilly Jane complex, we ascended a short trail back to the parking lot.
The drive down was no less harrowing but seemed shorter since we knew what was coming. We found an outside table right away at Mount Hood Brewing in Government Camp, enjoying burgers and beers before heading back to Portland. We all were wearing our Patagonia Houdini jackets for warmth, so took a picture while waiting for our food.


What a great read for those who love food and cooking! Readers will enjoy the personal insight into Julia Child's life and how she was whisk through a thrilling, yet challenging life. Alex Prud'homme did a lovely job of sharing the details of Julia's life. In gaining this insight I have the utmost respect for what she accomplished in her life, the kind of person she was, and what an impact she had on both professional and gourmet cooking alike. Her passion and curiosity spurred her through life with a zest for cooking, food, wine, and entertaining. she had such a knack for educating others, with an attention to detail that set the standard for "cookery bookery", as we know it today. My Life in France is a must read for anyone who has an interest in America's Culinary French revolution lead by Ms. Child herself. Bon Appetit!
Over the course of a year, Alex Prud'homme sat with Julia Child, then ninety-one, and listened to her stories, read family letters and ask Julia questions about her life in France with her husband Paul Child from 1948-1954. This is a love story of Julia and Paul's life together in France where Julia discovered her other love, eating and cooking everything from snails to wild boar and how to market for the best food products. In the introduction by Julia, she writes,'Those early years in France were among the best of my life". Paul Child had originally suggested that Julia write of their years in France, but Julia kept putting this "French book" off until Alex Prud'homme offered to collaborate with Julia on this project. Julia died two days before her ninety-second birthday before the book was finished, but he had enough material to complete the book.
Alex Prud'homme, the Paul Child's grandnephew, has so beautifully captured the voice of Julia in his writing, that those of us who honed our cooking skills while watching and listening to Julia can hear her unique and raspy voice as we read this love story to her husband. The narrative is enhanced by Paul's photographs of Julia during their years in France. A delightful read.

Frontier drops customer service phone line, offers chat service
FILE - Frontier Airlines jets sit at gates at Denver International Airport on Sept. 22, 2019, in Denver.
Frontier Airlines no longer offers the traditional phone customer service option. The carrier said recently transitioned to a fully digital model.
Frontier has a chatbot on its website that provides answers to common questions.
"If live agent support is needed, we have live chat available 24 hours a day / 7 days a week," Frontier said in a statement.
The carrier said customers can also reach out for assistance on social media channels like Facebook and Twitter. In addition, Frontier is available on Whatsapp.
The chat service is reportedly a cost-cutting move. According to CNBC, Jack Filene, Frontier's senior vice president of customers, told investors earlier this year that the chat agents can handle about three times the amount of inquiries as phone agents.
Frontier isn't the first airline to only offer this type of service. Breeze Airways also doesn't have a customer service line either. It asks that customers contact them through Facebook Messenger, text or email.

What will this day be like, I wonder? What will my future be, I wonder? Sounds dramatic, eh? A common thought of mine, nonetheless. One, because I love the song and also because I really do wonder what each day will bring.
Alona slept in the guest room; Abbi wanted to "sleep in Grandpa's bed!" I'm not sure ow much sleep everyone else received but I sure didn't get much. Anyone who's done it know, you don't get much sleep with wiggly toddlers! Grandpa, the scamp, scampered away to the sofa in the family room around 2am. In the dark cover of the morning, at 6:24 am, to be exact, I was brought to full attention with this sweet, crystal clear voice ask "Where's Grandpa?" And so our Saturday began!
Alona requested waffles for breakfast and so Grandpa complied. We enjoyed breakfast and then, honestly, it is a bit of a blur... I know they bathed and made Valentine cards; found every flashlight they could; played with Freckles and friends; built a train track and rolled the train; Hide and Seek (in the words of Abbi "You count, You hide")and the most rowdy activity of all, building houses, forts, mountains and castles with the sofa cushions and pillows. I have many cute expressions to add to my Grandma Journal...!
Sunday was P-Day for me... Prep-Day for my colonoscopy Monday morning. A fairly peaceful day was interrupted with the sad news of the passing of our sweet Prophet Gordon B. Hinckley. Pres. Hinckley... my Prophet... was a charming, inspiring, loving, wise man. Always encouraging us to 'Stand a Little Taller', be a little kinder, strive a little harder. How exciting to know he is reunited with his sweet wife Marjorie Pay Hinckley. As my sweet friend Christina said, "Can you imagine the stir there was this evening as his spirit returned to heaven?" I can't help but think how wonderful it must be for him to be reunited with his parents, wife and other loved ones but to also be reunited with those prophets of old, and the Prophet Joseph, each of whom he bore fervent testimony. (I can envision my sweet Mutti there with a radiant smile on her face, too) I'm so thankful for this sweet, gentle man.
Then came Monday! My mother-in-law, Caren, celebrated another birthday today! My colon screening went well and I won't need another one for 10 years! Yes!
its always nice to get out of the house and visit. Wish we could do it more often. I am glad that you had fun with the girls. Glad that your colonoscopy went well and yeah for only having to do it once every ten years!We called Caren and sang to her on her birthday, they had fun and Grandma Caren enjoyed getting that phone call too.

Q: React Native Crashlytics Firebase We are using firebase crashlytics in react native. But the problem is when the android app crashed, crashlytics give us android native code report. Not the react native code. That is obvious since it is already compiled to native code. But the thing is we are not able to map issues into react native code. Is there any mechanism to do this automatically or manually with the minimum human involvement?

A: Crash Analytics won't give you detailed report in javascript. Rather it would define the screen where it crashed and the devices/OS etc. You will have to figure the crash yourself. It will give you the crash report like :

com.facebook.soloader.SoLoader.doLoadLibraryBySoName (SoLoader.java)
  com.facebook.soloader.SoLoader.assertInitialized (SoLoader.java)
  com.facebook.soloader.SoLoader.assertInitialized (SoLoader.java)
  com.facebook.soloader.SoLoader.assertInitialized (SoLoader.java)
  com.facebook.react.bridge.ReactBridge.staticInit (ReactBridge.java)
  com.facebook.react.bridge.NativeMap. (NativeMap.java)
  com.facebook.react.jscexecutor.JSCExecutorFactory.create
  (JSCExecutorFactory.java)
  com.facebook.react.ReactInstanceManager$5.run
  (ReactInstanceManager.java)

*You need to have a basic native knowledge or you can google these errors and know the root cause. Also, FYI Sentry can of great help to you as it records javascript error also. Also, A/c firebase latest version 6+ now records JS errors also*

The Absorb bioresorbable vascular scaffold in real-world practice: long-term follow-up of the AMC Single Centre Real World PCI Registry
R. Y.G. Tijssen, M. E. Annink, R. P. Kraak, K. T. Koch, J. Baan, M. M. Vis, J. J. Piek, J. P.S. Henriques, R. J. de Winter, M. A.M. Beijk, J. J. Wykrzykowska*
VU University medical center
Background: Bioresorbable scaffolds have been introduced to overcome the shortcomings of drug-eluting stents. Higher rates of device thrombosis, however, have been reported up to 3 years after implantation of the Absorb bioresorbable vascular scaffold (BVS). In the current article, we therefore report long-term clinical outcomes of the AMC Absorb Registry. Methods and results: In the AMC Absorb Registry, all patients who underwent a percutaneous coronary intervention with Absorb BVS implantation between 30 August 2012 and 5 August 2013 at the Amsterdam University Medical Centre—Academic Medical Centre were included. The composite endpoint of this analysis was target-vessel failure (TVF). The median follow-up of the study cohort of the AMC Absorb Registry was 1534 days. At the time of the cross-sectional data sweep the clinical status at 4 years was known in 124 of 135 patients (91.9%). At long-term follow-up, the composite endpoint of TVF had occurred in 27 patients. The 4‑year Kaplan-Meier estimate of TVF was 19.8%. At 4 years cardiac death had occurred in 4 patients (3.2%) and target-vessel myocardial infarction in 9 (6.9%) patients. Definite scaffold thrombosis occurred in 5 (3.8%) patients. We found 1 case of very late scaffold thrombosis that occurred at 911 days after device implantation in a patient who was not on dual anti-platelet therapy. Conclusion: In a patient population reflecting routine clinical practice, we found that cases of TVF continued to accrue beyond 2 years after Absorb BVS implantation.

RONNIE JAMES DIO 'Went Out On A High Note,' Says WENDY DIO
Ronnie James Dio's widow Wendy Dio has told Fox News that the legendary heavy metal singer enjoyed the final years of his life as the frontman of HEAVEN & HELL in which he was reunited with his former BLACK SABBATH bandmates Tony Iommi (guitar), Geezer Butler (bass) and Vinny Appice (drums).
"He was very happy because he had gone back to the BLACK SABBATH guys," Wendy said. "They had reformed again and made some albums and a bunch of tours. Because he had left before in the '90s negatively, it was really great that they were all back together and everything was good.
"I think he had completed his circle before he passed," she added. "He went out on a high note. I don't think he could have lived if he had lost his voice and not be able to perform again. So I like to look at it in a positive way, that it was is time, that he chose to go."
In 2006, BLACK SABBATH's "Heaven And Hell"-era incarnation reunited as HEAVEN & HELL. Dio, Iommi, Butler and Appice recorded the acclaimed 2009 album "The Devil You Know", and toured on and off for the next few years.
HEAVEN & HELL came to an end when Ronnie James Dio died of stomach cancer in 2010. He passed away less than six months after announcing he had been diagnosed with the disease.
Ronnie James Dio's estate has just auctioned off 666 items from the late singer, including stage-worn clothing from tours with BLACK SABBATH and RAINBOW, the original Barry Jackson painting used for DIO's 1984 album "The Last In Line", gold records, his passport (with real name Ronald James Padavona), music equipment and instruments.
The auction took place on September 14 and September 15 at Hard Rock Cafe in New York.

The 10th annual Hot Hundred bicycle ride — a benefit for the Tuscaloosa Community Mental Health Task Force and advocacy efforts of the Druid City Bicycle Club — attracted more than 450 cyclists from 15 states and Australia. People of all ages and abilities chose the distance best for them — from 29 miles to the 103-mile century ride. Some cyclists were attempting to beat a personal record, while others rode for pure enjoyment.
The excitement was contagious. Cheers and whistles were heard every few minutes as another cyclist came under the yellow, inflatable arch, signaling the end of his ride, an accomplishment no matter the distance completed.
"It was amazing. The best part was realizing I could actually do the 52-mile ride when I only practiced for the 29," said 48-year-old Jo Ellen Nelson, of Dothan. "I will definitely be back next year, and maybe one day I can work up to the 103-mile ride."
After four years participating, Northport resident Jason Clark still can't get enough, and despite having to work Friday and Saturday night in the coal mines, he was ready to wheel out at 7 a.m. Saturday. While completing the 52-mile ride this year, the 38-year-old finished the century ride last year.
"I only planned on going 30 miles last year, but the other riders talked me into finishing. There's a lot of peer pressure involved," he said. "For the last 30 miles my legs were cramping. I wanted to at least get to Capitol Park, but I kept going and actually finished."
His reward — he bought himself a bike jersey, the first one he has ever owned.
The ride this year was not an easy one. Although the day started out slightly overcast, the clouds quickly cleared out and made way for the scorching sun. By mid-morning, riders were feeling the heat. Volunteers and riders emphasized the importance of staying hydrated and knowing when to slow down or stop.
Fascinated by the landscape, Nelson said she didn't notice the heat until the ride back. Only recently taking up bicycling, this was her first Hot Hundred event.
"I dreamed last night of being in a crowd of 400 people and having to move when they moved. I was so nervous," Nelson said. "But then I was out there in the line and it was great. It gave me goosebumps."
A new addition to the ride this year were 15 Wounded Warriors from Fort Benning and Fort Stewart in Georgia. Part of the Wounded Warrior program focuses on strengthening and conditioning, allowing military personnel who have varied medical conditions to stay active in sports, said 46-year-old Wanda Thompson, part of the support staff for the Wounded Warrior team from Fort Benning. Injuries can be physical, emotional or mental, and some will return to active duty, while others transition out because of those injuries, she said.
"It gives them a sense of accomplishment. ... It has helped them a lot through this transition," she said. "It boosts their morale and sense of well-being. And to be appreciated by the civilian sector means a lot to them."

If you're reading this, you may be one of the few unlucky souls who inadvertently converted their legacy-style Blockchain.info wallet to the new HD-style Blockchain.info wallet. If you just so happened to have > 1000 addresses in your legacy-style wallet, the conversion process will render your entire wallet unusable due to some limits set in the BC.info internal API.
Find the appropriate address and locate the value inside the _priv field (the private key). This is likely a base58 encoded representation of the address's private key.
This will output a value into the console, typically base58.
Note if you got a different value than base58 for step 2, replace base58 with the appropriate value. This will output the private key for the address in wallet import format.
Note: if you have more than one private key to import, you will save a lot of time by attaching false onto the end of each importprivkey call, only setting the blockchain rescan flag to true after the last key has been imported.
You can also encode this private key into a QR code and import it into Mycelium for easy sweeping.
Hope this saves some headaches for some others out there!
That speeds the import up a lot, because it skips rescanning the whole blockchain.
Presumably you have a lot of privkeys to import. Put 'false' as the last parameter for all except the last one, and use 'true' for the last one. It will save you a lot of time.
Note that the 2nd parameter ('1′ in your example) is the label to use for the imported address.


Last week, after completing the blessing for installing a mezuzah, I decided to follow it with the traditional blessing for the home, the Birkat HaBayit. This brief blessing is usually found on decorative plaques or hand-shaped hamsas (amulets) near the entrance to Jewish houses worldwide. It is meant to drive evil spirits (negative emotional projections) from the house and to protect the individuals residing in it. Such items are often given as gifts to one who has just moved into a new house.
Since the text of this blessing is commonly presented on a ceramic tile or other surface enhanced only by pleasant floral or geometric decorations, I wanted my interpretation to be something more; to reflect additional levels of meaning in the text.
In the initial research phase of my illustrations, I often leaf through my collections of aphorisms and quotations for my first clues in understanding the subject of my work and the direction I will take to develop it. These comments are never interpreted literally; they only serve as metaphorical touchstones, suggesting levels of meaning in that subject which invite visual interpretation.
Ok, I thought, that's a powerful idea; but do these qualities also define a 'home'? Generally speaking, yes. But having visited the homes of many friends and acquaintances around the world, each with its unique flavor and ambiance, I've learned that the difference between a house and a home is subtle, yet tangible.
Beyond its physical structure and plain or beautiful interior surroundings, a house that can be called a home glows with an aura of peace, laughter and love. These qualities color its walls, furnishings and inhabitants in a way no skilled decorator can truly emulate.
The desire for a home of one's own is universal to all species on this planet from the ant to the elephant. It's first cultural documentation among humanity quite likely originated in the tale of Adam and Eve whose first 'home' was the Garden of Eden, the womb of our world, so to speak. Even as the story relates their shock and fear upon exile from this holy place, the budding comprehension of their newly bestowed mortality soon becomes the powerful desire for shelter and stability in the chaotic world beyond Paradise.
Though the Torah offers many other examples of our developing survival instinct from Noah's post-diluvian resettlement to the long quest for a Jewish homeland, one of the most picturesque appears in in the Book of Exodus (Shemot Parashat T'rumah 25:8-9). Here, G-d requests that Moses establish a sanctuary of a very specific design for the Divine Presence in the earthly realm so that "I may dwell among them (you)." It would seem that even the Source of all Life has need for a place to call 'home'!
After much consideration, I decided to model the house in this illustration as an idealized amalgam of residential architecture drawn from several areas around Jerusalem because it is the spiritual home for so many of us.
The pomegranate and etrog (citron) trees flanking the doorway are metaphors of beauty, good health, fertility and mitzvot or good deeds that one would wish for the residents of the house. A midrash or commentary suggests that the pomegranate contains 613 seeds, a number equivalent to the categories of mitzvot incumbent upon us to perform in our lifetimes. The etrog, one of the four species honored on the holiday of Sukkot, symbolizes our connection to G-d through our hearts.
The cypress trees and the doves are symbols of sacrifice, but rather than the sacrifice attributed to religious ritual, mourning or death, I included them because sacrifices must be made on many levels by all within a household to insure peace and stability.
The Hebrew letter bet is included in this illustration for several reasons. First, its original form in the proto-Semitic languages of the Middle Bronze Age resembled a tent-like shelter or 'house'. Second, it begins the Torah with the word B'reshit (In the Beginning) and represents the dualities that define Creation (dark, light, good, evil, male, female, etc). Third, bet begins the word 'baruch' for blessing. I formed this letter from the leaves and fruit of the fruit trees for the same reasons the trees themselves were included, but also because in a sense, trees were the prototypes of shelter from weather and predators.
Finally, the antique bronze key is shown here because with it we enter the idea that when a house becomes a home, it also becomes a metaphor of memory; a repository of touchstones that connect us to ourselves, to each other and to the larger world beyond our doors.
Although each of the Torah's fifty-four parashiyot contain stories and precepts that are meant to guide us in living and working towards our spiritual and cultural fullfilment, it is this week's reading, Parashat T'rumah with its intricate, symbol-laden descriptions of the desert tabernacle that resonates with especial clarity for me as a visual artist.
In my book, Between Heaven & Earth: An Illuminated Torah Commentary (Pomegranate, 2009), Parashat T'rumah is illustrated with a double page spread depicting the various implements and ritual objects prescribed for use in the sanctuary. The images shown here are selected details from that illustration which appears on pages 54-55. Entitled, 'As Above, So Below' it draws inspiration from the eponymous alchemical maxim referring to the dual concepts of the heavenly sanctuary shown to Moses on Mt. Sinai and the earthly sanctuary that the people were required to build so that God would have a place to 'appear' among them. A detailed description with footnoted references may be found in the AfterImages section of the book on pages 149-150.

Despite my conviction that works of art and literature, always contain the potential to become a work in progress, I am invariably surprised to find proof of this continual process of awakening and learning. Tomorrow, as we begin the Book of Numbers (BaMidbar), it is nearly three years after the publication of Between Heaven & Earth: An Illuminated Torah Commentary (Pomegranate, 2009). Though I created illustrations for Parashat BaMidbar based on narrative with some artistic license, I recently wondered why Parashah BaMidbar (In The Desert) was designated as the Torah reading on the festival of Shavuot when it opens on the census of Israel, and focuses on tribal positions around the Tabernacle along with the rules regarding service of the Levite priestly class rather than the actual receiving of the Law from Mt. Sinai.
A favorite trope of philosophers and religious scholars from ancient times to ours has been the concept of free choice. Does it exist as a vague tenet of traditional religious entitlement so we may feel free to question our 'destiny'? Or is it merely a glib, convenient dodge for questionable behavior? Either way, acting upon it is never without consequences for the present or the future, both of which we like to think we can influence even if that influence may be illusory in itself. One of the stronger arguments for the consequence of interpreting the concept of free choice is found in Parashat Shemini, this week's Torah reading in the Book of Leviticus/Vayikra.
In the illustration above, called Choice & Consequence, a scale is suspended from a mystical winged yad (Torah pointer). One pan holds the sephirah of Chesed (lovingkindness) that has been damaged and unbalanced by the sephirah Gevurah, (strength and power) in the other pan. The status of these qualities lies beneath the many vivid examples of victory and tragedy in the Torah narrative. One of most heartbreaking events was the dramatic deaths of Nadav and Avihu, the sons of Aaron, High Priest of Israel. The young men were also godsons of Moses, Aaron's brother. The Talmud and Kabbalah offer multiple interpretations of this incident. The most familiar is the brother's unauthorized offering of incense or 'strange fire though not requested to do so. According to Louis Ginzburg's Legends of the Bible 1, they were killed upon their offering by two filaments of fire that flashed from the Ark in the Tabernacle. These split into four flames, pierced the nostrils of the young men and incinerated their souls. The bodies are shown intact for the legend also claims that after the event, no external injuries were visible. My imagination rode this story back to an earlier example of an unacceptable sacrifice; that of Adam's son Cain, his rejected harvest offering and subsequent murder of his brother Abel. God's rejection of Cain's offering makes this tale equally tragic despite God's vague attempt to justify his action to an angry and vengeful Cain. Though the later sacrificial system was designed to short-circuit the expression of these emotions, the loss of these young lives remains a scar on our history. One of the stranger postscripts to Cain's murder of his brother is that God chose not to destroy Cain for his misdeed. Instead, he was condemned to live with his crime for an extraordinarily long lifetime while bearing an enigmatic stigma. Rashi, the medieval French Torah commentator asserts that this 'mark of Cain' was a horn that protruded from his forehead eventually causing his death by a hunter who mistook him for an animal. Another interpretation in the Zohar(Book of Splendor) associates this mark with the Hebrew letter 'vav' because the name Cain or 'qayin' in Hebrew, means 'hook'.2 Was this 'vav' or 'hook' meant to connect Cain to God during his journey towards spiritual redemption? Since both of these assertions intrigued me, I decided to combine them in one image showing Cain's horn emerging from the ancient Hebrew letter 'vav'. The design of his horn was suggested by the 'horns' of the mizbeach or sacrificial altar.
I often marvel at how everything is connected in strange and subtle ways. Though created as a stand-alone post, last week's drawing, 'Innovasion'(detail shown above) whimsically explored the theme of unusual eating utensils. Coincidentally, the other important theme in Parashat Shemini, happens to be the laws of kashrut (kosher eating practices)regarding animals; laws that clarify which animals may and may not be eaten with any utensils. In my book, Between Heaven & Earth: An Illuminated Torah Commentary (Pomegranate, 2009), the illustration for this section of Parashat Shemini, called Sanction & Censure was my final choice for the book. Yet, I thought it might be interesting to show an alternative option I considered at the time.
By way of explanation, the diverse array of creatures categorized in Parashah Shemini as kosher and unkosher provided an intense artistic challenge. As I began to draw these creatures, I was as delighted as a child to be depicting representatives of the vast array of life forms inhabiting our planet. Digging further into the laws of kashrut, however, these restrictions seemed way too complex to be arbitrary. I wondered about their true meaning for us beyond straightforward obedience. Though I personally understand and observe the basic tenets of kashrus, my imagination is simultaneously attracted to the esoteric. So, upon closer examination, if the animals I have drawn seem to have unique personalities, they do. Their 'personalities' were suggested by the Hasidic idea that each creature deemed 'kosher' contains 'sparks of holiness' and that when properly blessed and eaten, those 'sparks' are released, inviting the Divine Presence into our material world. Accordingly the creatures appearing fully colored underscore this idea. Those appearing in neutral grey tones within the black chessboard grid are considered inappropriate to be eaten and for the performance of commandments (mitzvot). Surrounding the 'chessboard' are emblems representing four of the spiritual worlds (atzilus,beriyah,yetzirah,asiyah) and elements associated with them (air, water, earth, fire). I thought these should remind us that free choice may not exist merely to reassure our need for independent thinking, but rather we should understand it as a way to reaffirm our connection to creation and to each other.
Since 2012, corresponding to the Hebrew year 5773 is a leap year, several of the fifty-four Torah portions are read together so that the differences in these calendar systems may be reconciled. This week, we pair reading of the final two chapters of the Book of Exodus, VaYakhel and P'kudey. Commentary for the images in this post are from my book, Between Heaven & Earth: An Illuminated Torah Commentary (Pomegranate, 2009).
With Divine Spirit, above, again shows us the master artisan Bezalel working to complete his design and construction of the desert Tabernacle (Mishkan). Here,he is holding one of the results of his ability to permute the letters of the alefbet. The object is the Choshen, the breastplate to be worn by Aaron, the High Priest for the services in the Tabernacle. It is described in one of the sections of a work called 'Choshen Ha-Mishpat' (Breastplate of Judgment) and with some reservations is attributed to the 13th century rabbi and scholar Bahya Ben Asher. The Choshen's threads are of crimson red, purple and blue, the three signature colors of all fabrics used in construction of the Tabernacle and priestly garments. Woven into it are twelve stones set into gold frames, each engraved with one of the names of the twelve tribes of Israel. They are arranged in the birth order of Jacob's twelve sons and in four rows of three stones. Each row is in honor of the Four Mothers, Sarah, Rebecca, Rachel and Leah.
According to Louis Ginsberg's Legends of the Bible, Bezalel had the assistance of a special creature to construct these items. It was the tiny Shamir, (shown above Bezalel's right arm) a worm-like creature that appeared in the evening of the sixth day of Creation. The Shamir was endowed with the unique ability to cut through impermeable materials like gemstones. Beneath the Shamir worm are two objects called the "Urim v' Tmimim." The appearance and function of these objects have generated much conjecture. Generally known as 'oracle stones' they were placed in the fold of the High Priest's breastplate. Their alleged prophetic powers allowed him to focus on a specific problem or situation. He would then either obtain a vision or perceive combinations of letters with which he could determine the solution.
Behind Bezalel stands Oholiab, son of Ahisamach of the tribe of Dan, the co-worker assigned to him by God. The scales on his worktable symbolize his tribe and his honest artisanal skills. Oholiab is preparing the gold plate (reading "Holy To The Lord") that will be attached by a blue cord to the High Priest's helmet (on the table to his left). Finally, the 'Parokhet' or inner curtain for the front of the Ark of the Covenant is shown in the background. According to Parashah T'rumah, "You shall make a curtain of blue, crimson and purple yarns, and fine twisted linen; it shall have a design of K'ruvim worked into it." Though I have included the specified colors in the image, I have also taken artistic license with the background of the curtain by adding the apotropaic eye in the center.
In The Wedding Of Heaven And Earth, above, under the canopy of Heaven, the Shekhinah, God's feminine aspect, lifts her hands to bless the people in this symbolic 'marriage' between God and Israel. The 'Bridegroom' in this union is the Ark of the Covenant. Shekhinah wears the Crown of Paradise with golden pomegranate trees. Her sephirah of Malkhut or earthly monarchy is prominent at the base of the crown. A tiny chuppah adorns the large ceremonial wedding ring held aloft by the K'ruvim on the Ark. Her 'feet' resemble the cloven hooves of a calf from the bizarre four-faced 'Chariot' creatures in the Prophet Ezekiel's vision. The full description of this vision appears in the haftorah reading for the Festival of Shavuot.
Below, The Guardian Of The House of Israelimage concludes the Book of Exodus.
It depicts the completed Tabernacle (Mishkan) in the desert surrounded by the tents of the Twelve Tribes of Israel. The color of each tent reflects its corresponding gemstone in the High Priest's Choshen (Breastplate). Although the text of this Parashah initially seemed to require two illustrations, I imagined an enormous angel bearing both symbols of God's Holy protection. He wears a head covering that resembles a medieval liripipe. Suspended from its 'tail' is an alchemical glyph representing two elements of Creation: air and fire. Finally, I have shown the Pillar of Fire in the form of a Ner Tamid or 'Eternal Light. The burning bush within recalls the Covenant at Sinai while its chains incorporate the heads of korbanot (Temple offerings). The Ner Tamid has occupied a place of honor over the Ark in synagogues worldwide illuminating our memories of the original Tabernacle that guarded and inspired our ancestors three thousand years ago.
Of all the fifty-four parashiyot in the Torah, Ki Thissa was the one that spoke most eloquently to me as an artist and illustrator, particularly as it relates how Moses transmitted instructions for building the desert Tabernacle (Mishkan) to the artist and craftsman Bezalel ben Uri. I was drawn to this story many years ago as I sought to understand the levels of meaning within the Second Commandment prohibiting the creation of graven images. In essence, it opened my eyes to the concept of hiddur mitzvah or the creation of beautiful objects to enhance the worship experience, rather than be worshipped as objects in themselves.
In The Shadow Of God is drawn from the Hebrew translation of the name Bezalel, given to him at birth by his father Uri, son of Hur from the tribe of Judah. (Note the image of the Lion below the text next to Bezalel; it symbolizes the tribe of Judah) His full name reads, 'Bet-Zal-El Hayaita which means 'you were in God's Shadow' explaining his extraordinary artistic skills and closeness to the Creator so that he could envision the Heavenly Temple and accurately follow the directions for the construction of its earthly counterpart. He was tasked with this mission by Moses who transmitted God's request upon his return from Mt. Sinai. In the Mishnah,Bezalel is credited as the man who was able to comprehend and configure the letters from which Heaven and Earth were created for this holy task. According to the Baal Shem Tov, founder of Hasidism, "All things were created through the combinations of the 22 Hebrew letters." The open scroll that Bezalel is holding reveals a kabbalistic diagram, found in the Sefer Yetzirah, composed in 6th century Babylon, which connects letters in the Hebrew alefbet with the seven planets and twelve signs of the Zodiac. In the center of the diagram is a triangular form that contains the Tetragrammaton, an acronym for one of God's Names. To avoid a disrespectful rendering of this name, a portion of one of the letters has been removed. At the corners of the triangle connecting it to the outer rings are the three Mother letters, alef, mem and shin that represent the elements air, fire and water. Although many graphic variations of these concepts can be found in the books of mysticism, I chose this particular diagram for Bezalel, as it seemed to invite creative interaction. Standing behind the craftsman with a model of the Mishkan on its back is a strange beast called the Tachash. The word 'tachashim' in parashah T'rumah, though translated as 'dolphin skins' finds a different interpretation in the Mishnah, which alludes to the creation and existence of this animal for the express purpose of providing materials for the construction of the Tabernacle. When its purpose was completed, it seems to have vanished.

Q: Django VSCode: How to make django-html format as expectedl? I've seen a ton of unanswered questions about VSCode formatting (and if not here, where do you ask these questions?).
There are 2 main issues I run into constantly when I'm trying to write django-html templates.
1. Basic HTML tag linebreak doesn't occur in django-html files.
When you write an html tag, and press enter inside of it, it should split the tag with an empty line in the middle like.
Expected behavior (pipe "|" represents the cursor):

|

<tag>
  |
</tag>

Here's what's happening in the django-html file after enter:

<tag>
|</tag>

How do you fix this WITH proper template tag formatting (below)?
2. Django template tags don't indent as expected.
Tags within if, with, block, etc. tags should be indented. (treated like html)
Expected result:
<!DOCTYPE html>

    {% if x %}

I did x

    {% else %}

 I did else

    {% endif %}

    {% block content %}

I'm in contente

    {% endblock %}

Instead, the html tags within the django template tags are flattened on the same indent level.
Actual result:
<!DOCTYPE html>

    {% if x %}

I did x

    {% else %}

 I did else

    {% endif %}

    {% block content %}

I'm in contente

    {% endblock %}

Also if you're extending a template:
{% extends 'base.html' %}

{% block main %}

{% endblock %}

What happens:
{% extends 'base.html' %}

{% block main %}

{% endblock %}

Conclusion
I've used both beautify and prettier to try to solve the problems, but neither did the expected behavior 100% (especially with the template tags), but they did help.
I believe with slight tweaks they could have the expected behavior and treat django template tags as html tags AND have the html linebreak feature.
How do you get these to format with these 2 simple specifications correctly?

A: I got the desired result by using the Twig Language 2 extension and putting the following in my project settings:
  "files.associations": {
    "*.html": "twig"
  },

This ISS-Based Experiment Could Benefit Parkinson's Disease Patients
Astronauts on the International Space Station do a whole lot more than spacewalk and glance out the window at the beautiful planet Earth. They also conduct a bevy of science experiments in the microgravitational environment for scientists back on Earth.
In this video, provided by NASA, we learn how astronauts on the International Space Station are growing protein crystals in microgravity because they could hold the key to developing a low-side effect Parkinson's Disease inhibitor drug for patients here on Earth.
The astronaut collaborates in real-time with a principal investigator on Earth as he examines the space-grown crystals. A wall-mounted microscope and a plethora of other specialized equipment makes these observations possible, helping the Earth-based scientist in collecting notes about the experiment.
This research is significant because these protein crystals grow much larger and of significantly higher quality in the microgravitational environment than they do here on Earth. By studying their development in space, scientists can ascertain whether manufacturing these crystals in space would be a viable endeavor in the future.
As NASA inches closer to opening the International Space Station's doors to the private sector, experiments like these could become more common.
