Q: Hubbard's Leaky Bucket Here is a 3 (really 4) part problem that I am a little unsure about. I give the context to the problem, then each question/part, followed by what I have done so far for each part.
I would really appreciate any help or guidance as to if I am doing this right, or where I am mistaken.
Given only a bucket with a hole at the bottom, we can not determine how long ago the bucket might have been filled with water to a height $h_0$.
Applying Torricelli's Law gives us an equation modeling the changing height of the water in the bucket:
$\frac{dh}{dt} = -k\sqrt{h}$
with $k$ being a positive constant, dependent upon the size of the hole, and the size and shape of the bucket.
1.) If the condition for uniqueness of an equation of the form $\frac{dh}{dt} = f(t,h)$, with $h(0)=h_0$, is that $\frac{\partial f}{\partial h}$ be bounded. Show that the differential equation does not satisfy this condition. What conclusion can you make about the uniqueness of the solutions?
A.1.)
$\frac{\partial f}{\partial h}=-\frac{k}{2\sqrt{h}}$, we know that as time $t$ goes on, the height $h$ of water in the bucket approaches $0$.
Taking $\lim_{h\to0}$$|\frac{\partial{f}}{\partial{h}}|$ then $\lim_{h\to0}$$(\frac{k}{2\sqrt{h}})$ (from the right-hand side) gives us $\frac{k}{2}\infty$, thus $\frac{\partial f}{\partial h}$ is not bounded, and therefore the condition is not satisfied.
We can conclude that there is not a unique solution.
2.) [a.] Make up a reasonable value for $h(0)=h_0$ and solve the differential equation. [b.] Why is it impossible to say when the bucket was full?
A.2.) a.) let $h_0=h(0)=9$
Solving the differential equation leaves us with the general solutions:
$h(t)= \frac{k^2t^2}{4} + (c_1)^2 - ktc_1$
I.V.P. $h(0)=9=0+(c_1)^2 +0$; $c_1 = +3$ or $-3$
I do not know if both are proper, or if one is the proper answer so I did both.
if $c_1 = +3$ then $h(t)=\frac{1}{4}(kt-6)^2$
if $c_1 = -3$ then $h(t)=\frac{1}{4}(kt+6)^2$
I am also unsure as to how to answer part B of this part...
3.) Show that the time it takes to empty the bucket is $\frac{2\sqrt{h_0}}{k}$.
If we are given a full bucket at $t=0$ then we can say $h(0)=h_0$
From part 2.a. we found $h(t)= \frac{k^2t^2}{4} + (c_1)^2 - ktc_1$
then $h(0)=0+(c_1)^2 +0=h_0$ therefore $c_1 = \sqrt{h}$ or $-\sqrt{h}$
Similarly unsure which result to take here, I assume it will be the positive one but do not know the intuition behind this choice...
Taking $c_1 = \sqrt{h}$ gives us $h(t)=\frac{1}{4}(kt-2\sqrt{h_0})^2$
When the bucket empties, $h(t)=0=\frac{1}{4}(kt-2\sqrt{h_0})^2$
$kt-2\sqrt{h_0}=0$; $\to$ $t=\frac{2\sqrt{h_0}}{k}$

If you're pondering the meaning behind the title of DJ Snake's reggaetón posse cut, don't overthink it: "Taki Taki" doesn't actually have an official definition, but it sure does roll off the tongue. (Say it out loud! Didn't that feel good?) The star-powered single arrives during a particularly rich time for Spanish-language pop crossovers, as reggaetón and Latin trap have gone international. For Ozuna, a native of Puerto Rico, singing in Spanish is standard. But here, he's joined by bilingual verses from Bronx bombshell Cardi B, with whom he previously collaborated on 2017's "La Modelo," and pop princess Selena Gomez—both of whom swerve seamlessly between English and Español. Ozuna plays the role of the smitten guy in the club, though your average clubgoer probably isn't dropping casual references to the Anunnaki (a group of ancient Mesopotamian deities) as he spits game. Still, the ladies play it cool, making it clear that the ball's in their court—and who else but Cardi could convincingly suggest a first date at the Lamborghini store?

TRAILER: John Leguizamo Stalks Women and Fakes an Orgasm in 'Fugly!'
Film 11.07.14 at 1:38 pm
By Pili Valdés
A young Afro-bearing Jesse (John Leguizamo) pulls his pants down in front of a group of young girls. Their response is a cheerleader-esque rhyme that ends with them snapping their fingers while chanting, "you're fugly, you're fugly." This, of course, traumatizes Jesse and sends him on a life-long quest for reinvention. His goal is to leave fugliness behind.
I want to give it up for meta-Guizamo (who co-wrote, produced, and stars in Fugly!) for keeping the hustle alive. The movie showcases his writing, his acting, and his stage presence. For example, the night Jesse gets discovered the LOL moment comes from him pretending to be a Latina having sex with a gringo from behind and screaming, "I know imperialism is bad but it feels so good." If this type of humor turns you on, this film is for you.
It is all about Jesse and how he grows (or not) into his career and into manhood. In college he finds the theatre, writing, and the girl of his dreams (Radha Mitchell). When he loses said girl he finds Zowie (Rosie Perez) an ambitious performer who is psyched when Jesse gets her a role playing crack hoe #3. Jesse is also very excited to have landed the part of drug dealer. (The one liners on ethnic exploitation in Hollywood are humorous for a split second before quickly turning into gum that has been chewed on for too long.) As his criminal-playing career develops he and Zowie drift apart and a chance encounter with the girl of his dreams sets yet another introspection round in motion that takes Jesse, and the audience, back to fugly-filled moments.
If you're looking for other reasons to watch, the movie features Yul Vazquez, who plays Leguizamo's pretty boy brother, Thomas Milian who plays their wisdom-spewing Gramps, and an atrociously-decorated brownstone. Plus, here's another much more raunchy (and NSFW) trailer.

André the Giant Net Worth: How Much Is André the Giant Worth?
What Is André the Giant Worth?
Amid the 1970s, he wrestled over 300 days a year and got to be distinctly one of the world's most celebrated proficient competitors. Despite the fact that he never lifted weights, he was thought by some to be the most grounded man on the planet. He stayed prevailing into the late 1980s, crushing Hulk Hogan for the World Wrestling Federation Heavyweight Title on February 5, 1988.
At his biggest, Roussimoff was presumably six feet eleven inches tall, however he was publicized as seven feet four inches. He measured near five hundred pounds and was well known for his tremendous limit with respect to liquor and nourishment – it was once evaluated that he devoured 7,000 calories a day in liquor alone. His exceptional stature prompted a motion picture part as Fezzik, the tender goliath in Rob Reiner's 1987 film, The Princess Bride. Roussimoff likewise showed up in a few different movies and TV programs, yet Fezzik remained his most valued part – he was known to convey a tape of The Princess Bride with him when he voyaged and hold visit screenings at home and out and about. Roussimoff, who never wedded, lived the vast majority of the year on a 200-section of land farm in Ellerbe, North Carolina.
Tragically, as he became more seasoned Roussimoff's size brought about him visit medical issues. In 1986, he had surgery to ease weight on his spine and was from that point compelled to wear a back support when he wrestled. By 1992, he had experienced broad knee surgery and turned out to be progressively overweight and stationary.
He kept on wrestling, be that as it may, showing up for the last time in Japan??the nation where he had dependably been praised the most??in December of 1992. On January 27, 1993, Roussimoff kicked the bucket of a clear heart assault in his lodging room in Paris, where he was remaining after the internment of his dad under two weeks prior.
Andre the Giant was born on May 19, 1946, in Grenoble, France. He suffered from acromegaly, or "giantism." He wrestled in Montreal as Jean Ferre, in Japan as "Monster Roussimoff," and in 1973, debuted at Madison Square Garden as "Andre the Giant." He became one of the most popular wrestlers in the WWF (now the WWE) and acted in Rob Reiner's 1987 film, The Princess Bride. Andre died in 1993.

Microsoft launches Who's In app for creating and planning events
by Abhishek Jariwala
Who's In App
Microsoft has launched a new application for the Android users which has been named as the Who's In app. This app has been named appropriately due to the tasks that can be done by the application which is to create events and also plan them. Now, the name of the app is very identical to the steps of planning an event which is that whenever there is an event planned to be taking place in the coming hours, days or months then we have to ask whether who is in for the event so that it can be finalized who is in the event.
Now, this app has been available on the Google Play Store for the Android users and the app can be downloaded on the Android handsets. Now, you should note that this app is very easy to use and works just like any other chat application. This means that the way we chat to our friends or family while planning any event, the same can be done inside this app also but the Who's In App simplifies this process by giving us the options whether to Watch a Movie, Eat and Drink, Attend an event or any other events that we need to plan.
Selecting any of this options will give us the relevant options. For instance, if we select the option to eat and drink then we have been given the options to select the restaurants. After that, we have to select the users who we need to add in the event and chat for further details. Also, whenever a new user joins in on any event created by us then they get to choose a vote whether they are in or not. If they vote for in, they are added to the event otherwise not.

Accomplished Today (So Far): Three pages on the manual typewriter; two pages longhand, print. I continued my story about the private investigator operating in a modern world that humans share with their sapient dinosaur compatriots, and I started another story involving Harry Hominid, an inept turn-of-the-century adventurer with a Munchhausen-esque habit of exaggerating his exploits. I plan on writing more during the evening, but that Predator 2 Bluray beckons.
Mood: Optimistic. I've conquered a mini-crisis, a "long dark teatime of the soul" to steal a phrase from Douglas Adams, and I'm ready to attack my work again. It helps that my father spent the entire day cooking and watching The Tudors on Netflix. Nothing motivates me to get out of the house quite like the desire to avoid an onslaught of lousy television.
Doodle: Here's a picture of a grumpy goblin.
This is good to hear. And a story that blends sleuthery with dinosaurs sounds pretty damn cool.
But I have a question: how do you personally deal with that cycling 'funk' period that's deeper than writer's block?
The short answer is any way that I can. It's a constant struggle. Every day I have to work myself up to writing, because there's always the nagging fear that what I'm doing isn't good enough, that my efforts are inadequate.
I'll try to address this subject more in a later post. It's a topic worth exploring in some detail.

The 10 UK cities where people spend the most on Valentine's Day
These regions spare no expense when it comes to treating loved ones
By Katie Frost
For some, Valentine's Day is an over-hyped, commercialised holiday. For others, it's a time to show their affection for loved ones by showering them with cards, gifts and candlelit dinners.
With 14 February just around the corner, a new survey has revealed the cities in the UK where no expense is spared when it comes to treating partners.
To find out which regions are the most romantic, Trouva, an online platform for independent boutiques, tracked customers' spending behaviour in the run up to Valentine's Day across 2017 and 2018.
Birmingham topped the list of most generous residents, with locals splashing an average of £45 on Valentine's gifts. Those in the city of Nottingham came second, spending £29.47 on their other halves.
Londoners were found to spend an average of £18.87 on romantic presents, in comparison to shoppers from Leeds and Liverpool, where the average amount spent was £15.18 and £15.84, respectively.
The data also found that boxes of chocolates are out, and homewares are in this Valentine's Day. The website's best-selling product sold so far this season is a set of 10 candles (£7.95) from The Scandinavian Shop in Glasgow. There's nothing like setting the mood for a cosy night in for two...
See the UK's most generous Valentine's gifters by city below:
1. Birmingham (£45.00)
2. Nottingham (£29.47)
3. Bristol (£21.92)
4. Glasgow (£21.02)
5. London (£18.87)
6. Manchester (£18.11)
7. Sheffield (£17.57)
8. Edinburgh (£16.29)
9. Liverpool (£15.84)
10. Leeds (£15.18)

Cancer Research UK launches groundbreaking research centre at Barts
A new cancer centre, formed though a partnership between Cancer Research UK, Queen Mary, University of London, and Barts & The London NHS Trust, puts London at the forefront of cancer research.
Professor Nick Lemoine and Professor John Gribben
The Barts Cancer Research UK Centre is the latest link in a unique chain of centres being launched around the country.
The Centre will receive more than £2 million worth of funding from Cancer Research UK.
It will focus mainly on pancreatic, breast, ovarian and prostate cancer, leukaemia and lymphoma. The laboratory research will investigate the genes that drive cancer. It aims to identify markers for early diagnosis and targets for new therapies.
The Barts Cancer Research UK Centre is at the cutting edge of research into cancer gene therapy and stem cells, adding to its existing wide-ranging programme of clinical trials of experimental treatments.
It will also carry out research into population studies, cancer prevention and public health. It will also study biological therapies – such as those using antibodies, drug target identification and research into biomarkers for early diagnosis and ways to measure early patient response to treatments.
Collaboration will be the key to the Centre's success, making it easier for researchers in the laboratory to work alongside doctors treating patients on the ward. This enables patients to benefit as soon as possible from research breakthroughs.
The Centre will also work to engage the local community with the world class cancer research that is going on right on their doorstep.
Professor Nick Lemoine, Director of the Institute of Cancer and the Cancer Research UK Centre, at Barts & The London School of Medicine & Dentistry, said: "This Centre brings together top-ranked scientists in the medical school with expert clinical teams in the brand new cancer hospital to push forward laboratory discoveries into benefits for patients.
"The Centre sets the pace for national and international progress in a number of different cancers. The development of the latest gene therapies, and ways to detect cancer as early as possible, continues a long tradition of discovery at Barts, where researchers pioneered the use of many surgical procedures and the use of radiotherapy to treat cancer."
Peter Hall, 45, lives with his wife and her two children in Southend, and has two teenage children of his own. He works for Cancer Research UK as an Area Volunteer Manager.
Peter was diagnosed with Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma in October 1993 and received various chemotherapy treatments and a bone marrow transplant at Barts. Each time he had chemotherapy his disease went into remission only to be followed by a fairly swift and widespread relapse but, after his last relapse in October 2002, he has gone on to recover and was given the all-clear by medical team at Barts in December 2005. He is now fully fit and well and enjoying life.
"My treatment at Barts and the Royal London has been incredible. A few years after I was first diagnosed my condition took a serious turn for the worse and I decided on an ill-health retirement option. But, against all the odds, I went on to make a full recovery and am now able to enjoy life with my wonderful family to the full. I am delighted to hear about this new Centre which will help other people beat their cancer like I have.
"I thought I'd celebrate my recovery and second chance at life and ran my sixth London Marathon in 2009 – seven marathons so far! I also have cycled across China, and 600 miles through Vietnam's mountainous Northern territory – as well as John O'Groats to Lands End in 2007 to raise money for - and to say thank you - to the hospice that helped save my life and looked after me while I was terminally ill – raising over £55,000.
"My job with Cancer Research UK reflects my own personal journey with the disease and takes me back to where things are most important, and where I feel I can make the most difference and impact. I love being part of our charity that's helping to save so many lives - it feels just great!
"I have two wonderful children, Tom 16 and Holly 14, who helped sustain me when times were difficult. They now know that they needn't fear cancer and that there is always hope. And I married Elaine in January 2010 after we met at the hospice."
Professor John Gribben, consultant haematologist and medical oncologist at Barts and The London NHS Trust, said: "The Centre will bring together world-class research and clinical delivery to push the boundaries in understanding cancer. This in turn will lead to preventing disease and developing better diagnostic techniques and treatments. Ultimately this will improve cancer survival and enhance the quality of life for those with long-term disease."
Harpal Kumar, chief executive of Cancer Research UK, said: "Funding these centres of excellence is one of the charity's priorities and will enable us to work towards the goals we have set to improve the treatment and survival of cancer patients.
"We're able to launch this new centre thanks to the generous donations of our supporters but we need their continued support if we are to build on what we have started today."
Cancer Research UK spent more than £12M on cancer research at Queen Mary University of London in 2008/2009.


Pancakes are a popular breakfast food all over the world. They are rich in carbohydrates and provide us with many valuable vitamins. Pancakes are also delicious, so they definitely make a good breakfast food for us humans. But can you share this delicious and nutritious breakfast food with your canine friend? Can dogs eat pancakes too?
Can Dogs Eat Pancakes? The Quick Answer!
Yes, dogs can eat pancakes, but only in small amounts and not everyday.
As pancakes usually contain quite a lot of fat, it is not recommended to let your dog eat a large amount of pancakes in a single sitting. You also need to be aware of the pancake toppings that are not suitable for dogs (see the list below).
An okay amount of pancakes would be one or two silver dollar pancakes a few times a month. That's for small and medium-sized dogs, a large dog could have a few more. Feeding your dog pancakes often is not recommended because it would be likely to cause weight gain.
While it's okay for dogs to eat a few plain pancakes every now and then, some popular pancake toppings are not safe for dogs.
Cream or sour cream – A lot of dogs are lactose intolerant, so it's best to avoid feeding your dog pancakes with cream, sour cream or whipped cream. These toppings are also very fatty, so giving your dog a pancake with cream would be far from a healthy treat.
Honey or maple syrup – Honey and maple syrup are not poisonous to dogs, but it's still best to avoid feeding your dog pancakes with honey or maple syrup. These two popular pancake toppings contain a lot of calories and would be bad for your dog's dental health.
Chocolate – Chocolate is toxic to dogs, so anything with chocolate is strictly off the menu for dogs.
Caramel sauce – As caramel sauce contains a lot of sugar, pancakes with caramel sauce wouldn't make a healthy breakfast for your doggy. In fact, caramel sauce too contains way too many calories for dogs and is bad for the teeth.
Butter – Butter too is not a suitable pancake topping for dogs. The main problem with butter for dogs is that butter is too fattening. Butter is full of saturated fats and it's also very high in calories.
Jam – Although, the fruits jam is made of can be good for your doggy, jam also contains a lot of sugar, which is not okay for dogs.
Ice cream – Ice cream pancakes are not okay for dogs for the same reason pancakes with cream are not okay for dogs — lactose.
Nuts – Most nuts are toxic to dogs or cause gastric intestinal upset. Needless to say, it's best not to give your dog pancakes with nuts.
Raisins or grapes – If you like to eat pancakes with raisins or grapes, then know that they too are not suitable for dogs. That is because both raisins and grapes are toxic to dogs.
While all the sugary things we like to put on our pancakes are not good for dogs, most fruits and berries would be fine.
In fact, blueberries and bananas would be rather good for your dog's health. For one, blueberries can improve your dog's eyesight and prevent age-related loss of vision.
Bananas, on the other hand, are an excellent source of potassium and are believed to reduce the risk of different cancers.
Spreading some peanut butter on your dog's pancakes is a good idea as well — peanut butter is full of healthy fats that are good for the heart and blood vessels.
Conclusion on Can Dogs Eat Pancakes?
In conclusion, while dogs can eat plain pancakes, some popular pancake toppings are not safe for dogs. Before giving your dog a pancake, make sure that it doesn't contain any dangerous toppings. Also, as pancakes are quite rich in fat, it is recommended not to let your dog eat a lot of pancakes at once or too often. Occasionally giving your dog a few plain pancakes or blueberry pancakes, though, would be okay.
It is, however, not necessary to include pancakes in your dog's diet. In fact, as so many pancake toppings are not safe for dogs, it would be a good idea to leave pancakes completely out of your dog's diet. That way there won't be any accidents of your dog eating pancakes with dangerous toppings.

World no. 28 Grigor Dimitrov (Player Bio) turned around the encounter against top seed David Ferrer (Player Bio) to capture his maiden ATP title at IF Stockholm Open 2013. The young Bulgarian featured in second career final in Swedish capital today after losing the Brisbane title clash to Andy Murray earlier this year.
The ATP World Tour 250 hard-court tournament finalists created sixteen break points between them in the opener, four of them were converted. Seed number seven Dimitrov was the one who struggled more on his serve as he barely held the opening game before dropping three consecutive service games, allowing Ferrer to wrap up the set backed with a double break cushion.
As opposed to the previous set, the second set serving left little to be desired with Ferrer escaping a break point threat to make it 2-2 before giving away a vital serve in the eighth game. Dimitrov did not hesitate to put the set away as he held to love to square things up. The Bulgarian prospect was walking on thin ice early in the decider where he was forced to defend three break points to remain in the contest by 3-3, but he stunned the Spanish number two in the subsequent game where he stole his serve in second attempt. Dimitrov consolidated the break and never looked back – he converted his first career championship point to complete a comeback and seal a historic 2-6, 6-3, 6-4 triumph.
The Spanish number two will be disappointed over conceding 33 unforced errors, whilst his attack-minded opponent scored 43 winners over the course of the Stockholm final. Dimitrov improved the head-to-head score to 1-3 and is to be promoted to 22nd spot in the next week's ATP Rankings.

The boot loader has finished loading the kernel.
I let the timer count down to naught.
The kernel is now in charge.
All looks promising until the kernel is out of the cage.
Oh, that's bad, the kernel crashed.
Sadly, there's no debug info to give any clues. The crash might be due to Oracle's implementation of UEFI. Up to this point, the VM was assigned only 2 GiB of memory.
Looking at the project page for FreeBSD's UEFI support, led me to PR 193672. If we just give the VM enough memory, then the graphical output system is happy, and the kernel finally boots.
4 GiB of memory should suffice.
The frame buffer needs its fair share of base memory.
I.e., there's no dedicated memory for the frame buffer, at least not in Oracle's implementation, and maybe not in the UEFI spec at all.
Whatever size I set for the simulated graphics subsystem bears no relevance. In this case, the VM has been given 128 MiB of video memory, and 3D acceleration has been enabled.
The 3D acceleration has no relevance either.
The frame buffer could be mapped to such high physical addresses that they are only accessible when sufficient memory is present/installed.
There is no remapping of the frame buffer's address space to lower physical addresses, and/or an automatic reduction of the frame buffer's size, when there is less than an ideal amount of base memory available.
Lo and behold, the kernel can finally boot.
The FreeBSD installer is ready to serve.
Now, all I miss is ZFS combined with UEFI booting.
In the mean time have I had the pleasure of continuing my UEFI experiments at home using VirtualBox and FreeBSD/amd64 stable/10 r279507. The VT console runs pretty fast and gives us a console geometry of 128×48 when VirtualBox gives the VM a graphical geometry of 1024×768. Compare that to the traditional 80×25 console geometry.
Setting VBoxInternal2/EfiGopMode to 2, changes the graphical geometry to 1280×1024, and results in a console geometry of 160×64. A text mode giving only 80×25 is something the future's kids might never see nor hear of.
See https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch03.html#efividmode for more information.
For some reason X.org only displays 1024×768, whereas it earlier adapted to the full screen size of the VM, e.g. 1280×1024. This happens regardless of BIOS firmware or UEFI firmware on VirtualBox, and despite having everything from emulators/virtualbox-ose-additions installed and running.
Yes, I did try setting VBoxInternal2/UgaHorizontalResolution and VBoxInternal2/UgaVerticalResolution, but to no avail.
This list doesn't mention any memory particularly reserved for the frame buffer, except for the 16384 octets long region marked Reserved, starting at physical address 0xdfbc0000. It's still out in the blue the real reason for the kernel crashing when there's little memory available/installed.
Judging from the attachment 147929 belonging to the PR 194063, it appears as if the EFI frame buffer on HP laptops is mapped to the physical address of 3 GiB.
The address 0xC0000000 bytes being equal to 3221225472 bytes, with 3221225472 bytes ÷ 1024 bytes/KiB = 3145728 KiB, and 3145728 KiB ÷ 1024 KiB/MiB = 3072 MiB, and finally, 3072 MiB ÷ 1024 MiB/GiB = 3 GiB.
With the frame buffer's size being 0x408000 bytes = 4227072 bytes, 4227072 bytes ÷ 1024 bytes/KiB = 4128 KiB, and the frame buffers dimensions being 1366×768. This should give (4227072 bytes ÷ 1366 columns) ÷ 768 rows ∼ 4.03 bytes/(columns×rows).
This certainly strengthens my theory of the EFI frame buffer being permanently mapped to a high physical address in the range from 3 GiB and above. Thus, we must ensure the system has been given enough base memory to enable the frame buffer in the first place.
I was able to UEFI boot Microsoft Windows 10 Technical Preview Enterprise 9926 64-bit in VirtualBox 4.3.26. The aim is to attempt dual booting Windows 10 64-bit and FreeBSD/amd64 stable/10 on an emulated UEFI+GPT system. More should soon follow.


Education in the landlocked North African country of Niger is fraught with the same problems faced by many traditionally minded, poorer nations. These difficulties include promoting a self-fulfilling prophecy of cultural and gender inequality through unequally distributed facilities, and less enthusiasm for educating females. Notwithstanding this, education is legally compulsory between ages 7 and 15. The first 6 years of this take place at primary schools, where more boys than girls complete the program.
The next three years of school - for those fortunate enough to continue - take place at lower secondary level in accordance with the French model where a standard academic curriculum is prescribed. Such facilities are sparse beyond the cities, and do not exist at all for Niger's nomadic tribes.
An upper secondary school period of 3 years completes the schooling cycle for the nation's younger people. For the first time they have the opportunity of academic subject specialization, and the choice of alternative technical secondary education too. Concluding certificates are de bachelier de l'ensignement du second degree and de bachelier technician respectively.
Post-secondary technical and vocational studies, and specialized institutions such as for teacher training are administered separately from the nation's two universities. The latter include the Abdou Moumouni University of Niamey founded in 1973, and the Islamic University of West Africa established in 1987.


How to interact with all elements that match query?
I currently have a datadriven form with a bunch of textboxes. If I have the statement app.EnterText(x => x.TextField(), "1"), it states "Entering text '1' in first element (9 total) matching TextField() ...". I cannot pass an AppResult to EnterText to foreach it manually.
How do I enumerate through all the results of the query to interact with them?
I have found, that interacting with the AppResult object after querying isn't always the most elegant - I wish UITest had built-in methods that take AppResult, so I ended up writing a bunch of extension methods in my project.
I haven't tested the EnterText method, but it should work alright.
This looks promising, thanks! I'll let you know after I try it out. Wrapping this in a foreach should meet my needs (or have it take an AppResult).
That worked great. It was exactly what I was looking for.

Home/Movies/'M3GAN' Star Allison Williams on Why She Only Did 4 Flicks Given that 'Girls'
'M3GAN' Star Allison Williams on Why She Only Did 4 Flicks Given that 'Girls'
Science fiction film M3GAN was unquestionably the initial large strike of 2023, with the film grossing $90 million globally in the 1st two weeks of its launch. Though some have expressed disappointment about the film's deficiency of horror (some reshoots have been vital in order to give it a PG-13 rating) there is no denying that the movie has been a huge good results.
All of this ought to feel incredible to Allison Williams, who equally stars in the film (as Gemma) and took on the purpose of executive producer for the initially time. In spite of her success with her job on Women, Williams has only performed four films in the practically six a long time since the present has been off the air. As it turns out, she has a fantastic reason for it — she requires herself, and her profession, quite significantly.
What is 'M3GAN' about?
https://www.youtube.com/check out?v=OoDHM_A1axc
The plot of M3GAN, which was composed by Aleka Cooper, is a sad one. When a younger girl, Cady, is orphaned just after her moms and dads die in a vehicle incident, her aunt Gemma will take her in. Gemma just happens to work at a toy company that is establishing an artificial doll. She provides household a M3GAN doll for Cady, and the doll rapidly becomes a minimal too hooked up.
As M3GAN and Cady type a sturdy bond, the doll repeatedly vows to shield Cady at all fees. Pointless to say, the movie is both powerful and unsettling.

It simply cannot be easy to star in and produce a film concurrently, but Williams' portrayal as Gemma was fantastic, and she gained high praise for her manufacturing expertise as properly. The provide to serve as executive producer arrived in 2019, when Williams was doing the job out the specifics of her contract for M3GAN. She recognized, and quickly bought concerned with regardless of what she could: casting, script passes, even rights releases for the props they'd utilized on-display.
"It was awesome to be authorized to be as invested as I obviously want to be in some thing — which is completely invested," Williams claimed in a current Wired job interview. She joked that the team assumed she did not want to know things like which toy brand names have been cleared for use in the movie, but they ended up "sorely mistaken." She also took an active purpose in the advertising of the film, noting that she felt attained when she saw the M3GAN memes and GIFs on the web.
It is obvious that Williams was enthusiastic by her new title of executive producer. And now that she has, in her terms, "tasted the poison fruit" of making people behind-the-scenes choices on a film, performing "just" as an actor feels diverse to her. With any luck ,, there will be more options for her to serve as a producer in the potential. If so, there is no question that she will do fantastic get the job done again.
Here's why Allison Williams is so choosy about her films
https://www.youtube.com/observe?v=mjtLIU5S9C0
Considering the fact that the end of Ladies, Williams has acted in four movies: Get Out, The Perfection, Horizon Line, and of program, M3GAN. She's definitely effective and very well-recognized more than enough to have carried out extra, but her explanations for choosing not to are the exact good reasons she was so thriving as the executive producer of M3GAN: she can take her roles seriously, and she wholly immerses herself in her tasks.
Considering that playing the part of Marnie on Ladies, who meant well but was incredibly privileged, Williams also tends to just take on roles that power her to move outside of her convenience zone. Like Marnie, Williams has been known as privileged and a "nepo baby" (her moms and dads are news anchor Brian Williams and producer Jane Stoddard), and taking on flicks like Get Out has permitted her to confront her privilege. In executing so, she has also proven to the planet that she is as authentic as it will get.

Former Casa Grande Football Player Cory Machado Honors Fallen Football Player Alec Flores
Former Casa Grande Football Player & Alumni, current pro wrestler & Public Figure Uses Social Media To Honor Children And Their Families
The communities of Yuba City, California, gained heartfelt support on social media to honor 13yr old Alec Flores. Alec died as a result of a hit and run accident. This untimely tragedy for the Flores family has brought their son, Alec to the heart of Public Figure Cory Machado – who stated he will dedicate his next match to Alec and The Flores family in January.
Alec Flores, dreamed of being in The NFL. His loved ones are sporting the number 41, honoring Alec just as Alec wore the number 41 honoring his favorite NFL Player. Upon hearing about Alec's love of football, Cory reached out to NFL Player AJ Cole of The Oakland Raiders, who sent the Flores family a heartfelt video on Social Media honoring their son. He will also dedicate his next game to Alec and his family. In a passionate interview, Cory explains that at least in this way via Social Media, Alec will get his NFL dream. Over the years, Cory has helped families honor the children they've lost so tragically. Cory has told us that he believes "no parent should have to know such loss and bear such unimaginable pain. Honoring the dreams of those children is one way I can try to help their families."
"I'm in a unique position where I can use my social media in a positive way to honor these children and it will be on the internet for these families forever. It's not really about me, its about the dreams of those kids that drives me. It goes back to when teachers would ask, 'what do you want to be when you grow up?' I want to help these children's families achieve their children's dreams for them in some way to let them know that someone out there cares too. That means something to me."
"Through Social Media, I've helped several families who experienced what the Flores family is going through now. For Ashley Carlson, her favorite team was The Seattle Seahawks, so I got then Seahawks Player, Terrance Parks to honor her memory. For Alyssa Byrne, I got Ryan Bader to honor her and her family. After Ashley Donohoe's death, I reached out to UFC Fighter Artem Lobov to honor Ashley and her family. It doesn't bring them back. But it does show that their children matter to others. They'll never be forgotten."

My British friend Lesley makes Spaghetti on toast. Is that just a British thing to serve perfectly fine food on a toast?
I think that our throw together meals are often more creative! Your recipe shows it.
You crack me up. Way to out the food blogger 'insider meals'. This seems great actually and would not classify as a throw together to me in the image it conjures.
HA! Little do people know, right? I feel much the same way you do. How often does one recipe turn into a full day's affair! Love your throw together recipe, looks fancy but is so easy!
That is an interesting recipe, I've never tried poached eggs on beans, so I'll surely make it!
One of my favorite 'suppers' was baked beans on toast. This sounds a very delicious version of that.
I love your addition of pepperoni to this!! And I completely forgot about this too - I made it last fall and it was not only delicious, but filling as well - thanks for the reminder!
This actually looks like my favorite kind of meal, Karen--and my "secret shame" foodie meal is definitely a jar of peanut butter and a spoon. An apple if I am feeling ambitious.
Are we being outed? Do I have to confess? I've had Cheerios for dinner and I'm not kidding. Tonight though was more special. Noodles with olive oil and Parmesan. Yep...a gourmet treat!
I see you are moderating comments so assuming no one will see this...I can not find your email! Thinking tomorrow Happy Hour? Call me...I have got to get more organized; hwere is your phone number...OY!!!


The term "video art" is used to describe art made using video technology. Not to be confused with experimental cinema or art film, video art is based on a specific type of electronic image consisting of a two-dimensional composition of pixels. The main feature of video, both in technical and conceptual terms, is its instant playback capability, which is not possible with film, but which allows the creation of an instantaneous mirror-like replica of reality that is available to be manipulated, either live or in post-production. Video art was born in the mid-1960s and has developed in tandem with the evolution of video technology and its increasing availability.
Video has become a major tool for artists over the past fifty years, and a quintessential postmodernist medium, which has allowed critical and meta-linguistic responses to be made to what Guy Debord (1931–1994), French writer and leader of Situationism, has called "the society of the spectacle," referring to mainstream forms of media entertainment such as television, cinema, and advertising. Video is employed to document scripted performances and improvised actions, to appropriate preexisting moving images or to create new narratives. Artists' videos display live or prerecorded images in single- or multichannel settings or as part of multimedia installations shown in exhibition spaces or in the public sphere, broadcast by television or distributed as videotapes, CDs, DVDs and recently as digital media files.

Mortality rate in Saudi Arabia 2016, by gender
Saudi Arabia: Adult mortality rate from 2006 to 2016 (per 1,000 adults), by gender
by H. Plecher, last edited Mar 1, 2019
The statistic shows the adult mortality rate in Saudi Arabia from 2006 to 2016, by gender. According to the source, the adult mortality rate is the probability of dying between the ages of 15 and 60 - that is, the probability of a 15-year-old dying before reaching age 60, if subject to age-specific mortality rates of the specified year between those ages. In 2016, the mortality rate for women was at 77.27 per 1,000 female adults, while the mortality rate for men was at 96.39 per 1,000 male adults in Saudi Arabia.
According to source: "Mortality rate, adult, female (per 1,000 female adults)" and "Mortality rate, adult, male (per 1,000 male adults)"
According to the source, "the adult mortality rate is the probability of dying between the ages of 15 and 60 - that is, the probability of a 15-year-old dying before reaching age 60, if subject to age-specific mortality rates of the specified year between those ages."

Since Tumblr integrated with Open Graph last month, its referral traffic from Facebook has grown by more than 2.5x, according to Jeff Sherlock of Facebook's Developer Blog. This statistic makes one thing clear: the social giant really does drives some serious traffic for nearly everyone that's integrated with its Open Graph so far, even though these integrations are often quite annoying for users.
In its typical fashion, Tumblr's Developer Spotlight showcases its success, while providing a peek at what they've done to integrate successfully.
Tumblr associates a photo with each post published to timeline and news feed, creating more attractive stories for friends.
Tumblr uses the message property for personal messages on the Post, Reblog and Reply actions to show more relevant content to friends.
Tumblr provides clear messaging about what activity is posted to timeline and simple controls to help users determine what is shared on Facebook.
This is just one more success story for Facebook, right as it nears its massive IPO. On that front, Facebook appears to have set its highly anticipated initial public offering at $38 per share, which values the firm at a jaw-dropping $104 billion.
Little bragging moments like Tumblr's should only help pad Facebook's success.

A recent survey shows that a majority of Bramptonians want the city to allow retail stores to sell cannabis, leading city staff to recommend that council opt-in.
Under Ontario's legalized cannabis law, municipalities must decide whether they want to opt out of allowing the shops by Jan. 22. Five Ontario municipalities have already signalled their opposition to permitting pot retailers within their city limits: Markham, Richmond Hill, Oakville, King Township and East Gwillimbury are likely to vote against allowing it.
"Given findings from the public feedback, provincial funding formula, increased enforcement and the fact that legal recreational cannabis is readily available for purchase online," city staff are recommending that council allow private cannabis retail stores to operate within the city, according to the committee of council agenda for Wednesday.
Environics, the company that conducted the telephone poll, found that 54 percent of respondents sampled said they "strongly" or "somewhat" support pot shops in Brampton, while 40 percent "strongly" or "somewhat" oppose them. Only 6 percent of survey respondents were undecided. The company conducted the poll in the first week of November; earlier reports said it would survey 800 residents.
Respondents were also asked about their preferred method of procuring cannabis. Sixty-two percent said they would rather acquire pot from a retail store than by growing their own (9 percent) or by ordering from the Ontario Cannabis Store website (29 percent).
The findings will be presented by Joe Pittari to the committee of council meeting Wednesday. One councillor listening intently will be Charmaine Williams, a council newcomer who has been vocal about her opposition to pot shops in Brampton.
Shortly after her victory, Williams, elected to Wards 7 and 8, told The Pointer she believes the city should opt out for now, a decision that would allow more time to gather information. Under the province's current guidelines, there is nothing to stop municipalities from opting back in at a later date. Retail stores will be allowed to open across the province, in municipalities that permit them, as of April 1.
A comprehensive report on how other municipalities are handling the new stores, including information on safety parameters and siting criteria, would be critical data for councillors to see before making a decision, Williams said at the time. That's information that would only come out of initially watching from the sidelines. But some prospective guidelines, such as possible sites where cannabis shops might be permitted and mandated buffers around schools, are included in the staff report councillors will be looking at Wednesday.
"I'm so thrilled that the city has taken it on and put out the public survey," Williams said. She noted that during her time door-knocking on the campaign trail, perhaps 70 to 80 percent of residents she spoke with were not in favour of cannabis retail stores in Brampton. Her experience during the campaign does not jibe with the numbers in the public survey the city commissioned afterward. "This is major. We just need to make sure that we are considering public opinion," Williams said prior to the release of the Environics survey.
The looming debate is bound to draw strong opinions on both sides. Mayor Patrick Brown has previously told The Pointer he won't ignore the reality of the situation.
Those comments suggest Brown might be on board with opening the door for retail pot shops. He has also stressed the need for proper, enforceable regulation to control the use and sale of legal marijuana, to ensure it does not jeopardize public safety.
It is not known how far council will move on the issue on Wednesday. The city still has more than six weeks to make an official decision.

A guidepost to safely using – and carrying – your phone, tablet and other devices on an airplane.
Samsung's Galaxy 7 Note smartphones caused a stir recently after a phone started smoking on a Southwest Airlines flight, prompting an emergency evacuation and the Federal Aviation Administration to ban the devices due to fire hazards. The Galaxy 7 Note smartphones "are likely to create sparks or generate a dangerous amount of heat, which could cause smoke or a fire aboard an aircraft," an FAA spokesperson told U.S. News. In fact, the Department of Transportation banned both the original and replacement Note 7 electronic devices from U.S. air travel. But the in-flight Samsung flare up – and 30-plus other sparking or exploding battery issues in recent weeks – magnifies broader safety concerns not only with the Note 7's combustible design, but other electronics powered by lithium-ion batteries, including personal laptops and tablets.
And that's not all. Airplane fires aren't the only impending threat from using digital devices at 35,000 feet. Though the risk of a portable electronic device causing an accident is low, cellphones could interfere with communication systems by transmitting signals that briefly disrupt the radio frequency between air traffic control and pilots. While innovative technology on newer airplanes have made interference a rarity, there are rules and risks fliers need to understand to avoid putting themselves or fellow passengers and crew in danger.
"Most of the devices are safe to use," says Albert Moussa, president of the fire safety business BlazeTech and a consultant on airplane fire hazards. But two problems have come up recently, he explains. Aside from the Samsung Galaxy Note 7, which had a malfunction due to its battery design, another more subtle development aboard aircrafts are mechanical seats, he explains. These seats feature a motor, allowing passengers to recline and stretch out completely in flight. "The issue is if your phone or iPad falls in the crack of the seat," he says, which could activate the mechanism, crush the device and battery and release active fluid that could start a fire. This was the case on a recent trans-Pacific Qantas flight, when a flier's cellphone was destroyed inside a business-class seat and the phone's battery caught fire. The more battery cells a device has, the higher the risk, Moussa explains.
"Almost all airline passengers are carrying some kind of a smartphone," says Henry Harteveldt, a travel industry analyst for Atmosphere Research Group. If you are planning to carry a digital device on an airplane, including a laptop, "turn it off and unplug the device from the outlet," he cautions.
Given escalating risks with portable personal electronics, should you be afraid to fly? "Absolutely not," Harteveldt says. "The FAA is not going to put passengers, crew members of the aircraft itself at risk," he says. Aside from banning fire-prone Samsung Galaxy 7 devices, airlines feature fire-proof bags to contain fires.
"The most important thing is the FAA is aware of the problem," Moussa says. Devices like flame-resistant bags feature a fire-proof material and are designed to contain electronics such as laptops and mobile phones if they overheat or catch fire. Delta recently announced that it would add fire-containment bags to its 900 aircrafts to protect against fires and overheating caused by lithium batteries, and other carriers, including Alaska Airlines and Virgin America have added the bags to their planes as well.
While the FAA permitted airlines to expand the use of portable electronic devices in flight in October 2013, voice communication is prohibited. So, why allow increased use of digital devices if interference is a concern for pilots? In 1991, the Federal Communications Commission banned the use of cellphones due to concerns over interference, but now "avionics have been designed so that they're less susceptible," Harteveldt explains.
"The less you bring with you, the better," Moussa says. There is always a risk that laptops, e-cigarettes, batteries and chargers can ignite, smoke and overheat. "Laptops have ignited in airports and in various locations," he cautions, emphasizing that an "airplane is a very precarious system." In fact, there is a new requirement from the FAA that prohibits the shipment of batteries in bulk in planes that carry both people and cargo, as there have been at least three major incidents involving lithium batteries on cargo planes, he says. What does that mean for you? You should be mindful of what you carry and what you send. For example, if you send a package and you don't understand the risk or declare it properly, it could slip through, he says.

New St. George Utah FamilySearch Center Offers Fun Discoveries for All Ages
Grandparents, parents, and children are now exploring their family trees together in fun and unique ways that were unimaginable just a few short years ago. At the new St. George FamilySearch Center, located at 237 East 600 South, three generations of families huddle around 55-inch touch-screen monitors, discovering the stories and photos of their ancestors and discussing how their stories provide inspiration as they face their own daily challenges. The open house for the new center will be June 22–24. The facility is free to the public.
"The new St. George FamilySearch Center is designed to be a gathering place for families and those who desire to know and experience their personal and family history. It is a place to do research, but more importantly it is a place of personal discoveries," said J. Kevin Ence, Area Seventy for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and local ecclesiastical leader for the St. George area. "As I have come to know my ancestors—who they are and what they have accomplished—the day-to-day challenges that I face have taken on a whole new perspective. Knowing what they were able to do gives me the strength and courage to face my own battles!"
Family members of all ages will love exploring the family room and children's areas in the new 10,000-square-foot facility. They can play games together and learn family stories, such as how Grandma and Grandpa met and fell in love. Families and youth groups love creating or preserving favorite family stories and moments through free high definition audio and video recordings, which can be emailed to them instantly.
Steve Rockwood, CEO of FamilySearch International, explained the attraction of the center: "St George is such a wonderful, vibrant, growing community with historical significance. We are extremely excited to provide a FamilySearch Center to its residents and visitors who will undoubtedly enjoy fun and memorable experiences discovering their families. We trust that it will be a great gathering place and yet another attraction in St. George for families to enjoy."
Children can interview parents and grandparents in high definition video in the studio recording rooms, and parents and grandparents can record fond memories with their posterity for future generations to remember and enjoy.
"This amazing facility will provide personalized family discovery experiences for each generation of the family. Our guests are excited and enthusiastic about their new family connections and enlightened and blessed by their ancestors' stories," explained Mickal Merrell, who with his wife, Linda, serves as an area temple and family history consultant.
Youth and groups will appreciate the inviting modern design, with casual seating and collaboration areas. Interactive learning stations will help them discover the meaning of their names and other interesting facts about their name and the year they were born.
Special equipment will also enable guests to transfer precious family memories they have on old VHS tapes to DVD. They can also digitally preserve printed family photos and scrapbooks to USB drives or upload them directly to their free FamilySearch.org accounts where they can be preserved long term and more readily shared. All of these services are free.
It is recommended that guests create a free FamilySearch account at FamilySearch.org and begin building their family tree before their arrival. By creating a family tree online and adding family photos and stories before coming, you will be able to personalize and greatly enhance your visit to the new facility.
For additional information or to book group reservations, visit the center's website at familysearch.org/fhc/StGeorge.
Following is the public open house schedule:
Thursday, June 22, 2017, 1:00–7:00 p.m.
Friday and Saturday, June 23–24, 2017, 10:00 a.m.–7:00 p.m.
The center will officially open on Tuesday, June 27, 2017. Normal center hours will be Monday, Friday, and Saturday, 9:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m., and Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, 9:00 a.m.–9:00 p.m.

Groups visiting the center should book a reservation online to ensure that space is available.
Future plans include offering Boy Scout merit badge workshops, where Scouts can complete requirements for the Genealogy merit badge and have fun learning about their family.
The new area consultants managing the center, Mickal and Linda Merrell, serve under the direction of Elder J. Kevin Ence of the Seventy.
The center's dirctors, Mickal and Linda Merrell, raised their family in Vernal, Utah. Mike was a pawnbroker and entrepreneur, and Linda taught English at the junior high until their first child was born. Eight years ago, they moved to St. George, where they have been active in the community, serving in the St. George Utah Temple and as volunteers at Tuacahn and the Senior Games. Together, they served in the Apia Samoa Mission in 2010–2012. They are the parents of six children and (almost) 16 grandchildren.

Are you Open December 30, 2019-January 3, 2020. Which days are you closed during that period?
Lorie Womack
I am looking for an obituary for Nancy Morales. I believe she died some time in 2018 here in the St. George, Utah area. Her birthday was 3/29/1991. I can come over to the history center on Saturday if it is to time consuming to look it up.
All I really needs is to verify the death so I can clear the patrons card of fines.
Thanks so much for your time and efforts on this matter.

While I was in St. George this weekend we stopped by and I was really impressed. I want to do something like this with my young women, with the iPads but I live in bountiful. Is there a family history center in salt lake that is like this one with the iPads and the temple picture thing?
Merilyn Graff Pryor
I have 15 Grandchildren and 5 Great-grandchildren and I want to get them all something special for Christmas. Is there some way to print out their individual histories and give it to them? What do we need for each to do the search? Do we need to do it there? I would be willing to buy one for each child. Please let me know. Thank you very much.
Sincerely, Merilyn

I live in Logandale, Nevada and would like to attend classes offered at your center when possible. Would it be possible to receive a class schedule each month via email?

Licence to preach...
This article is the second one in a week about Rev Dr Mascord 'losing' his licence to preach in the Anglican Diocese of Sydney due to his stance on same sex marriage and his view that traditional Biblical theology is flawed. It is worth noting straight away that Dr Mascord did not have a current license in Sydney, so his license was not revoked - he applied for a license and the Archbishop declined.
I have to say that I side with the archbishop of Sydney on this one - and I know that some of my friends will vehemently disagree with my view here - especially those on the list of signatories.
The truth is though that Dr Mascord, when ordained, vowed only to teach and uphold the doctrine of the Anglican Church, and also to be subject to his bishop. He is now openly advocating views which are contrary to the doctrine of the Anglican Church, and refuses to submit to his bishop's lawful and reasonable request.
Also worth noting is that the Archbishop advised that he could in fact be licensed to serve in his parish, if he could give an assurance that he would only preach that which is in accordance with the doctrines of the church (again,he is only being asked to fulfil his commitments in accordance with his vows of ordination) - Dr Mascord declined to give that assurance, and so the Archbishop upheld his own vows taken when he was consecrated as bishop 'to drive away all false and strange doctrine which is contrary to God's word; and privately and publicly to call upon and encourage others to do likewise' and to 'correct and discipline, according to the authority you have by God's word, the disorderly and disobedient and those guilty of offence within your jurisdiction'.*
For me this is pretty clear cut - if you wish to be licensed to preach in an Anglican Church, it is entirely reasonable that you will only preach in accordance with the doctrines of the church. If you cannot in good conscience do that, then it is also not unreasonable that you be told you can't preach.
Finally, I will finish with a quote from C.S. Lewis, which I think is relevant here:
"It is your duty to fix the lines (of doctrine) clearly in your minds: and if you wish to go beyond them you must change your profession. This is your duty not specially as Christians or as priests but as honest men. There is a danger here of the clergy developing a special professional conscience which obscures the very plain moral issue. Men who have passed beyond these boundary lines in either direction are apt to protest that they have come by their unorthodox opinions honestly. In defense of those opinions they are prepared to suffer obloquy and to forfeit professional advancement. They thus come to feel like martyrs. But this simply misses the point which so gravely scandalizes the layman. We never doubted that the unorthodox opinions were honestly held: what we complain of is your continuing in your ministry after you have come to hold them. We always knew that a man who makes his living as a paid agent of the Conservative Party may honestly change his views and honestly become a Communist. What we deny is that he can honestly continue to be a Conservative agent and to receive money from one party while he supports the policy of the other."**

Disagreement is not the same as hate.
This week I wrote to my congregation explaining to them that I uphold the doctrine of the church and believe that marriage is between a man and a woman. I also explained that holding this view does not mean that I hate homosexual couples, it does not mean that I am opposed to them having equal rights under civil law - it simply means that I and those who share my view believe that the term marriage can only ever apply to the lifelong union of a man and a woman.
Some I know will label me a 'homophobe' for expressing this view. Some will say I am being hateful. The truth is though, that I do not hate anyone - not even those who have done me direct emotional and physical harm - so why would I hate homosexuals?
The idea that to disagree with someone over marriage is hateful, is being used as a weapon in the debate by those who support changing the definition to include same sex couples. The argument goes that if you oppose same sex marriage then you are clearly against equal rights for gay people - which means you clearly are a bigot that hates gay people...
Of course saying that we believe that marriage should stay between a man and a woman actually in no way restricts the rights of homosexual couples to enter into lifelong committed and monogamous relationships if they wish to do so. It in no way restricts the ability of government to ensure that gay couples are treated equally under the law - in fact the previous Labor Government already passed legislation at the Commonwealth level to ensure this! That there are still some inequalities being experienced at the State/Territory Level simply means that those jurisdictions should be called upon to enact similar legislation. If this was done then gay couples would be treated 100% equally under the law at all levels of government in Australia - and all without ever changing the fundamental meaning of society's most important institution.
What saying that we believe marriage is between a man and a woman means, is that we understand marriage to be more than simply something people do if they love each other—we understand it to be a special union, between a man and woman, especially given and sanctified by God for the forming of a new family unit and the raising of children. There is no hate here—there is no homophobia, and no-one is saying that homosexual couples should be discriminated against—by all means give a same sex couples equal standing under secular law— even through recognising the relationships as civil partnerships or similar. It is also not a statement about the nature or value of their relationships—Homosexual couples do love each other, they care for each other, and they value their relationships just as highly as heterosexual couples do. They must be shown our love and care and be treated with the dignity deserved by people made in the image of God.
The simple truth however is this; in Traditional Christian understanding Marriage is something that can only take place between a man and a woman, any other relationship, no matter how loving, no matter how caring and valued that relationship is, simply is not and cannot be a marriage. Whilst the secular legal definition may change (and likely will) The Christian understanding revealed through God's word will not.


Now there's an EV group worth supporting. Their car conversion initiative is definitely something that car makers and owners alike should back.
I think it's great they're getting ready for EV cars because I think in the next few years, they will dominate the road. Not only they're Eco-friendly, they're efficient too.

Universal Orlando Entertainment Director on Content Creation
Dewayne Bevil, Orlando Sentinel
- Aug 18, 2014 6:00 am
Universal Orlando must be doing something right. Competition from new attractions at Universal Orlando and Disney has eaten SeaWorld's lunch.
— Jason Clampet
Michael Aiello has spent half his life working for Universal Orlando. He was on the theme parks' streets as one of the Blues Brothers and as Jack the Clown, a Halloween Horror Nights icon. The 36-year-old Orlando native eventually moved off the front lines and, last year, landed the position of director of entertainment — creative development for the resort. He talked about his career with Sentinel reporter Dewayne Bevil.
How did you get your start at Universal Orlando?
I started at Universal on March 8, 1996. I was a skipper on the Jaws boat. It was my first job. It was going to be a summer job that turned into 18-plus years.
Were you psyched to be a skipper?
It was awesome because I'm a huge movie fan. Being on the Jaws ride was like a mini-movie every 41/2 minutes, and you're the star of it.
You also had early work with Halloween Horror Nights?
My first entertainment job was with Halloween Horror Nights as a scare actor. It was in 1997, I believe, in the maze Hotel Hell. … I had to pop out of a washing machine 80 times an hour. But I caught the bug.
How did you go from being a performer to being a creator?
I had submitted a script for [Horror Nights stage show] "Bill & Ted." … Everyone seemed to like it, so they hired me on for one day to help punch up the "Bill & Ted" show in 2002. It was an eight-hour call of me riffing with Michael Roddy — he was the show director and writer at the time — just riffing back and forth, giving him some gags and bits he could include in the script, and that was it. And then a year passes, and Michael had gone to do some other things, and I was the only one on the books that had written anything for "Bill & Ted." So I get a call … "Hey, we want to bring you in with a guy named Kenny Babel, and we want you guys to write the show this year." I was floored.
That really kind of opened the door for me in Art and Design and to meet people and get a sense who does this stuff here. … In 2005, I officially became a show director in entertainment. … It's the sort of mindset of putting yourself out there, seeing what you can do. If you do great, do better. If there are challenges, figure out what they are and keep going and see what happens.
You were promoted last year. Does it feel like a grown-up job?
There are some additional responsibilities. Like with Halloween, we have a lot of licensed brands that we're working with to replicate the content or expand the content that they own. That's been a new facet to my job, to be that liaison. … The big-boy pants of the job have been being in more high-profile meetings with individuals who own these brands, ensuring them that we are heralding their brand with the best quality possible.
You had a hand with Universal Studios Japan's Horror Nights last year?
It was myself and [Universal show director] Patrick Braillard. We both went out there for many, many weeks and helped them with their street content. Last year, it was all about zombies. They wanted hordes and hordes of zombies,
The bar was set high with the first Wizarding World of Harry Potter. Were you nervous about the entertainment offerings for the new Diagon Alley?
If you're not nervous about the content you're creating, you're not doing it right. There should always be a sense of excitement and nervous tension in what you're creating, I believe.
As a former skipper, what did you think when you heard the Jaws ride would go away to make room for more Potter?
The reaction for me was definitely bittersweet. But for me, personally, I saw it as an evolution. Again, I was thinking only about myself. In my brain, it was more of an evolution of "There's where I started, and now I have the privilege of being able to create something new right there." … Then, of course, I went and walked around and rode the ride a bunch of times after that and was very nostalgic.

A add-on to change your IP if you is blocked.
Automatically check links from more than 50 file hosts, the script is checking the links in bulk when ever possible, that means maximum speed and low bandwidth.
I already thought I thanked you and love the new IP one so far!
Will give the link ones a run today.
Oh I have them already, at first and don't laugh, I thought it was a bot like something so when I do a "clean up" and open ten different tabs, it would run around and check all links for me to make the job alot more easier!!!
So how does it actually work to check the links and help with IPs, is there any point in having them?
That IP-changer works for me!
