Q: Fixed scroll div after certain height and then stops after reach other div? As the title suggest, I am making a div with a fixed attributes then stops when the user reaches a certain point scrolling.
Below is a GIF sample of the event i'm trying to replicate.
http://i.imgur.com/wCXAOwW.gifv
and here's my fiddle:
https://jsfiddle.net/e1u4rqtk/2/
var navWrap = $('#cont'),
  nav = $('cont'),
  startPosition = navWrap.offset().top,
  stopPosition = $('#stop').offset().top - nav.outerHeight();

$(document).scroll(function() {
  //stick nav to top of page
  var y = $(this).scrollTop()

  if (y > startPosition) {
    nav.addClass('sticky');
    if (y > stopPosition) {
      nav.css('top', stopPosition - y);
    } else {
      nav.css('top', 0);
    }
  } else {
    nav.removeClass('sticky');
  }
});

But its not properly working. any idea what did i miss?

A: You don't need javascript for that, you can use position: sticky
HTML: (you don't need those extra divs)

CSS:
.d {
  background-color: #FFF000;
  width: 336px;
  height: 600px;
  margin: 0px auto;
}

#fixedscroll img {
  position: sticky;
  top: 0px;
}

Check it working https://jsfiddle.net/w9n2ubmg/
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/position

A: You can use position: sticky for newer version of browser, but in case you want your website work under IE/Edge 15, check out this example.

$(function(){

 $("#adArea").css("min-height", $("#adArea").height());

 var stopPos = $("#ad").offset().top;
 var contPost = $("#adArea").next().offset().top - $("#ad").height();

 $(document).scroll(function(){
  var scrollTop = $(this).scrollTop();

  if(scrollTop >= stopPos){
   if(!$("#ad").hasClass("sticky")) $("#ad").addClass("sticky");

   if(scrollTop >= contPost){
    $("#ad").css("top", contPost - scrollTop);
   }else{
    $("#ad").css("top", 0);
   }

  }else{

   if($("#ad").hasClass("sticky")) $("#ad").removeClass("sticky");
  }

 });

});
.container {
  width: 100%;
  background-color: #c2c2c2;

You might choose to work with a peer mentor—someone who has been where you are.
Peer mentors can be a helpful support option. They provide an experienced sounding board as you navigate away from problem gambling and toward the life you want.
Your peer mentor respects your confidentiality and your personal goals in a non-judgmental, supportive way. They will work in conjunction with you and your counselor or, if you prefer, you can also access peer mentoring without engaging in counseling.
Lewis & Clark Problem Gambling Services works with Voices of Problem Gambling Recovery (VPGR) to pair you with a certified peer mentor. VPGR is a non-profit partner organization that provides peer mentoring and other services to those affected by problem gambling.
People who become credentialed VPGR peer mentors are at least two years beyond their own problem gambling and have completed a certification process that includes 40 hours of specialized training.
Because peer mentors have the experience of living with problem gambling, they provide a unique perspective which can support you on your journey.


Most people have slow computers. And while most people don't know it, you can easily make your computer faster. Even if you're using a five year old computer, you can in some cases double its performance by following these steps. This isn't a tweaking guide, this is just a list of some ways that you can optimize and speed up your computer. Let's start with the basics.
First off, you need a good antivirus program and a good anti-malware program. I use AVG Free and Adaware SE. You should not have more than one antivirus and one anti-malware program installed on your computer because they will interfere with each other. Antivirus that comes preinstalled on your PC is useless, and it is one of the major reasons why your computer is so slow. Once you have a good antivirus program, scan your computer and clean it up.
CCleaner is one of the best clean-up programs available. This amazing tool will delete useless files on your computer, clean up your registry, clean up your startup, let you uninstall some stuff Windows might not, and more. Once you download it, go through the checkboxes to make sure nothing you want to keep gets deleted, like cookies, and then run the cleaner. This can free up from a few megabytes to over 5GB!
Another thing you need to do with CCleaner is to optimize your startup. The startup is the list of programs that start up with your computer. Click on Tools, then on Startup. *NOTE: be careful what you do here, because you can mess up your computer. I am not responsible for your actions.* Remove any extra programs from this list that you know aren't needed on startup. All I have in that list is AVG and two Vista tools. I can't really tell you what to do in this screen because it is different on every computer, so try to use common sense and see what programs can be avoided at startup.
This is an image of my taskbar. The items highlighted in red were open at the time I took the screenshot. The items that aren't highlighted always run in the background. They are (not including the highlighted ones) AVG, Vista sidebar, Windows defender, network connection, and volume. That is 5 background programs. You can count 4 if you don't include the sidebar, as that is an optional one. Most people I know have anywhere between 10 and 30, yes 30, background applications. And then they wonder why their computers crash all the time and run so slow. You don't need (as an example) limewire, itunes, real player, windows media player, windows messenger, msn messenger, yahoo messenger, aim messenger, computer manufacturer support, etc running all the time. This is one of the biggest things that slows down your computer dramatically.
For an IM program, I recommend Pidgin. It works with almost every single IM protocol, like AIM, MSN, and Yahoo, and it is one of the fastest and most lightweight and bloat-free IM programs. It starts up in one or two seconds and will not slow down your computer like AIM or MSN will.
These are just some of the steps you can take to increase the speed of your computer. There are plenty more tweak guides and customizations you can do, but these are the easiest steps for the average user. I will give more tips on increasing operating system performance in the future.
http://www.TheFlywire.net – Everything computers and more.
Thanks for these tips, I'm going to try them later. I need to find ways to speed up my Vista machine!
While I agree that it's foolish to have programs like messenger running in your system bar during boot, lots of ohter sofwtare is important to load. This is not 1995, computers are made to load more crap, so loaded when it's needed to run at any time.
8 programs isn't all that bad. I have been doing this for almost 10 years and never had compatibility issues or slowdowns like you pretend is going to happen. Average CPU usage on idle is 0-2.
Conflicts were avoided by installing one program at a time and running it for a week before adding the next program, never had any issues on XP or Vista with reliability or slowdown; this is not the age of Windows 98/ME!
@ J. Donner: You're right, computers are meant to run more apps now. But the average person doesn't know what should be running. Once my math teacher brought her home laptop to do a presentation, and it was horrid seeing 30+ apps in the tray and all the popups appearing. It took no less than 10 minutes to start the thing.
And it affects RAM usage much more than CPU usage. Most people I know have 256-512 MB RAM. They can't run the things I can with 4GB.

George R. Hall
Augusta, GA – George R. Hall, 59, loving husband of Margaret, passed away suddenly on Sunday, September 26, 2021. George is a native of Red Springs, NC, but has made his home in Augusta with his family for the past 36 years. George was born the middle of three sons to Helen and Dr. Robert G. Hall, Presbyterian Minister and later a Professor of Homiletics at Erskine College. George graduated summa cum laude from Presbyterian College in 1983 where he was a member of Theta Chi Fraternity and the Track & Field Team. Additionally, he served as Interfraternity Council President. In 1986, he earned his Juris Doctor from the University of South Carolina. George and Margaret moved to Augusta in August 1986 where he joined the Hull Barrett law firm. Of his 35 years practicing, he spent 30 years as a partner where he successfully tried over 120 cases and mediated many more. He was chosen multiple times by his fellow partners to serve on the firm's management board. George was elected a Fellow to the prestigious American College of Trial Lawyers and was recognized by his peers in several notable publications. He was past President of the Augusta Bar Association and was recently sworn in as President of the Georgia Defense Lawyers Association. George treated everyone with honesty, respect, humility, and professionalism. Due to his demeanor and wisdom, his counsel was sought by lawyers within his firm and across the profession. George put into practice what he had learned as an Eagle Scout: to keep himself physically strong, mentally awake, and morally straight. George was an incredible example of service not only in his career, but also in his community. He was an active member of Reid Memorial Presbyterian Church where he served as a Deacon, a Stephen Minister, and an Elder - including tenures as Clerk of Session and Moderator of various committees. He also served several years on the board of the Augusta Sports Counsel, was recognized as a Paul C. Harris Fellow of Rotary International, and as a board member of the Augusta Rotary Hull Fund. George embodied the words of theologian and humanitarian Albert Schweitzer who said, "The purpose of human life is to serve, and to show compassion and the will to help others." George was an avid outdoorsman who enjoyed hunting, fishing, running, and swimming. He was intelligent, witty, a true friend, and a joy to be around. Above all else, George loved life and he loved his family. He is survived by his beloved family including his wife: Margaret Carr Hall, his sons: Thomas Wade Hall and David Watkins Hall (Lauren); granddaughter: Aubrey Hall; brothers: Robert G. Hall, PhD (Carolyn Malone, PhD) and Phillip D. Hall, PharmD (Rayna Hall, MD); and many other loving family members. He is preceded in death by his parents, Dr. Robert G. and Helen Hall. A memorial service will be held Saturday, October 2, 2021 at 1:00 P.M. at Reid Memorial Presbyterian Church with Rev. Nadine Ellsworth-Moran and Rev. Robert F. Hunt officiating.

A camel feeds her calf.
While camel milk won't likely be battling for shelf space with cow's milk in the dairy section of your local supermarket any time soon, it is becoming a hot commodity. Some experts cite properties that they say may help fight a number of diseases, including diabetes, cancer, shingles and autism. It is also easier to digest than cow's milk, making it popular among the lactose intolerant.
While the FDA has approved the consumption of camel milk in the United States, imports are restricted, and there are only about 3,000 camels in the United States, according to Dr. Millie Hinkle, founder of the American Camel Association and Camel Milk USA, which conducts research on camel milk industry. There are a few camel dairy farms in the United States, including Troyer Family Farm and Oasis Camel Dairy.
One of the primary risks of camel's milk is that it is primarily consumed in unpasteurized form. The Saint Louis Institute for Conservation Medicine (ICM) studied the consumption of camel's milk in northern Kenya, where around 10 percent of people drink unpasteurized camel milk, exposing themselves to a number of animal-based pathogens.
The study found a higher prevalence of pathogenic bacteria in camel milk than in sheep and cattle milk. In Kenya, this increased risk corresponded with an increased use of camels as domesticated animals, the report noted.
An article in the magazine Science reported a study that showed the virus that causes Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS) has been found in camel milk. The findings were from a group of researchers at Qatar's Supreme Council of Health; the country's Ministry of Environment; Erasmus MC in Rotterdam, the Netherlands; and the Dutch National Institute for Public Health and the Environment. While there was no specific connection between an increased risk for MERS and consumption of raw camel's milk, they cautioned against consuming the unpasteurized version of the product.
Research has shown that camel milk might be helpful for people with autism, Type 1 diabetes, food allergies, hepatitis B and other autoimmune diseases, according to Lori Chong, a registered dietitian at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center.
Research in the journal Diabetes Research and Clinical Practice showed that camel's milk as an adjunct to insulin therapy improves long-term glycemic control and reduction in doses of insulin in patients with Type 1 diabetes.
While the research is insufficient, some people cite anecdotal evidence that camel's milk has also been linked to improvements with people with autism. Livestrong.com cited a study published in the 2005 edition of the International Journal of Human Development, citing anecdotal evidence of improvements in young autistic patients who switched from cow's milk to camel's milk.
In a small study of eight children with food allergies published in the Israeli Medical Association Journal, camel's milk was shown to help the subject overcome severe food allergies, which were primarily milk related.
Camel's milk — as well as goat's milk — contains A2 beta casein. Most milk in the United States is made from Holstein and Friesian cows, which produce milk that primarily contains A1 beta casein rather than A2 beta casein, Chong noted.

Just a line to let you know that I am still going strong. Ere you receive this you will know all about the last fourteen days or so here. I have come through without a scratch so far. The doctor tells me I have jaundice but we are down for a few days spell and I hope to have got over that before we move again. We had a bit of hard luck with our last mail a barge overturned and dropped it. I have had no letters for over a month. Stanley as to whose fate I have been some doubt was killed here in an advance on the 2nd May so Stan Green informs me.
We get very little news here and NZ papers are rushed when a mail arrives.
I trust you are all well up there and that things on the "farm" are prospering.
There is a great deal here to write about but little that one can say that would pass the censor.
PS. The Lieutenant who censored this has since died as a result of his experiences in August. He was the only the 2nd Coy Officer not wounded.
Note. There are some details about the censor, O.V. Stead, including his photo, here.


Firstly, let's look at whether the Pareto Principle holds true when looking at customer data. Well, at Blue Sheep we've now run an 80:20 analysis for over 5,000 databases, and in 99% of all cases we found that between 60-80% of the companies' revenue was coming from 15-30% of the total customer base!
By pinpointing this, it shows that a huge amount of budget and resource is being thrown at the 70-85% of the database that are only delivering potentially 20% of your revenue!
What would happen to profitability therefore if you diverted all this resource to the top 15-30%? What would it be like if you could pinpoint the similarities of that 15-30%, create a segment or profile of them, and then find more of them?
So what about the other 70-85% of your customers? Should you ignore them?
No professional marketer would ever do that, and it would be bad business. However, what you can do is make sure that these low spenders don't drain valuable budget and resource that should be focused on the more profitable 20%.
For example, your 80:20 analysis could highlight a segment of low-spending tyre kickers (you know the ones that need 30 meetings and a huge discount to buy anything from you). This segment may show that there is a commonality in their geography, how they're acquired, the size of the organisation, etc.
Once you have defined the segment, or found the commonalities, you are then empowered to make a trustworthy decision to refocus spend and resource away from acquiring more of them, and refocus it on the high spenders (we call these your "treasures").
What does Money Mapping do?
The Money Mapping insights tool from Blue Sheep allows an organisation to identify how they can generate more sales and more profits from fewer customers, enabling a direct focus on the most valuable clients.
For too long the focus has been on using technology to grab a market share that simply maximises the number of paying customers. With Money Mapping, we can identify where the most valuable 20% of customers lie; freeing you from devoting too much attention to the 80% that are high maintenance, but low value.
Money Mapping enables the focus to be on customers that spend more, stay longer and recommend your business to friends and family – the aim being to build long-lasting relationships with these most valuable customers.
Not only are these customers more lucrative, but also they tend to be less demanding and more loyal. In short, these customers should form the bedrock of any future direct marketing campaigns.
A Blue Sheep Money Map shows you how your revenue is split amongst your customers and identifies where to find more of your best ones - free of charge!

Man seriously injured after being struck outside car in Red Hill
Sarah IsonPerthNow
A man in his 20s is in a critical condition after being struck by an oncoming vehicle that collided with him and his parked car last night.
The incident occurred at 7.49pm in Red Hill when a vehicle driven by a 32-year-old male hit a parked car on the side of the road, seriously injuring a 20-year-old male caught between the two vehicles.
A Police spokeswoman confirmed the 20-year-old received head and chest injuries and was in a critical condition after the incident.
"The second vehicle came up and hit the first vehicle from behind whilst driver was in between the vehicles," she said.
"He's in a critical condition in hospital but survivable."
The 18-year-old female passenger in the parked car received lacerations to her foot, the spokeswoman confirmed, while there were no recorded injuries for the 32-year-old driver.

Preventing Vietnamese Vessels From Fishing Illegally in Foreign Waters
The Border Guard Command held a conference to prevent Vietnamese fishing vessels from illegally fishing in foreign waters on December 2.
ngtrang12.ftu@gmail.com December 04, 2021 | 08:44
Conference overview. Photo: VNA
According to incomplete statistics of the Border Guard, from 2017 to now, there have been 340 cases with 579 ships and 4,738 fishermen arrested and handled by foreign countries. Particularly from the beginning of 2021 to the end of November 2021, our fishermen who violated foreign waters were arrested in 35 cases with 53 ships and 447 fishermen. Specifically, there are 18 cases in Malaysia, 12 cases in Indonesia, 5 cases in Thailand (down 13 cases, 23 ships and 64 fishermen compared to the same period in 2020).
However, in fact, the number of Vietnamese fishing boats that are seized and handled by foreign countries is still complicated. These cases are concentrated mainly in localities such as Binh Dinh, Binh Thuan, Ba Ria - Vung Tau. Most of the ship owners and captains are for the purpose of economic benefits, because the efficiency of fishing in Vietnamese waters is not high, they deliberately send fishing boats to foreign waters for illegal fishing.
Particularly in the period from October 15 to November 15, 2021, the number of violations decreased compared to previous months, with only 1 case with 3 fishermen arrested and handled by Malaysian authorities.
Speaking at the conference, Major General Nguyen Van Thien, Second-in-Command of the Vietnam Border Guard, praised the results that officers and soldiers of the Coast Guard units have achieved in the past peak month.
In order for the above results to be sustainable, Major General Nguyen Van Thien suggested that the commanders, officers and soldiers of the Coast Guard units continue to thoroughly implement guiding documents on the task of combating IUU fishing with creative and flexible ways.
In addition, he proposed to promote propaganda and mobilization of fishermen, especially ship owners and captains to change and raise awareness, sense of self-discipline for fishermen: Reaching out to sea but not violating other countries' waters; exploitation in parallel with the protection and development of aquatic resources; sustainable development of marine economy in association with assurance of national defense and security.
At the same time, Major General suggested to strengthen the efficiency of inspection, control, and management of people and fishing vessels before leaving, entering the wharf, and when operating at sea; advise localities to strictly handle cases of intentional violations, publish them on local media to strengthen deterrence; coordinate in management and strictly handle means of evading IUU violations moving from one locality to another.

Head motions while riding roller coasters: Implications for brain injury
Bryan J. Pfister, Larry Chickola, Douglas H. Smith
Bio-Medical Engineering
The risk of traumatic brain injury (TBI) while riding roller coasters has received substantial attention. Case reports of TBI around the time of riding roller coasters have led many medical professionals to assert that the high gravitational forces (G-forces) induced by roller coasters pose a significant TBI risk. Head injury research, however, has shown that G-forces alone cannot predict TBI. Established head injury criterions and procedures were employed to compare the potential of TBI between daily activities and roller coaster riding. Three-dimensional head motions were measured during 3 different roller coaster rides, a pillow fight, and car crash simulations. Data was analyzed and compared with published data, using similar analyses of head motions. An 8.05 m/s car crash lead to the largest head injury criterion measure of 28.1 and head impact power of 3.41, over 6 times larger than the roller coaster rides of 4.1 and 0.36. Notably, the linear and rotational components of head acceleration during roller coaster rides were milder than those induced by many common activities. As such, there appears to be an extremely low risk of TBI due to the head motions induced by roller coaster rides.

Charlotte Bronte and a case of mistaken identity
CLAIRE HARMAN
Chalk drawing by George Richmond, 1850, left © National Portrait Gallery, London; photograph, right, date unknown, © Brontë Society
A s the bicentenary of Charlotte Brontë's birth approaches (April 21, 2016), many picture editors, exhibition organizers and publishers will be looking round for a suitable image of the author and perhaps feeling a little disappointed with the available choices. Only two pictures of Brontë survive that were made from life: the first, crudely painted by her brother Branwell when she was a teenager (in the group portrait known as "The Brontë Sisters"), makes the subject look doughy and dull; the second, a chalk drawing commissioned by the publisher George Smith in 1850 and executed by the fashionable artist George Richmond, veers the other way towards flattery. When Richmond's portrait was published as the frontispiece to Elizabeth Gaskell's Life of Charlotte Brontë in 1857, two years after Brontë's death at the age of thirty-eight, it drew some blunt comments from the subject's old friend Mary Taylor. "I do not altogether like the idea of publishing a flattered likeness", she told the biographer; "I had rather the mouth and eyes had been nearer together, and shown the veritable square face and large disproportionate nose."
Taylor was by no means the only person to remark on Brontë's un-beautiful appearance. Gaskell herself had written of her subject's "plain, large and ill-set features", "crooked mouth and large nose", and in private had been even more specific about "a reddish face; large mouth & many teeth gone; altogether plain; the forehead square, broad and rather overhanging". George Smith was so impressed by the prominence of Miss Brontë's brow that he took her to a phrenologist in 1851 to have it analysed, but thought little of her personal charms, recalling that her head "seemed too large for her body" and that "her face was marred by the shape of the mouth and by the complexion". William Thackeray described Brontë as "homely-faced", "without a pennyworth of good looks", while his daughter Anne recalled their famous visitor's defensive and unpleasant demeanour: "I remember how she frowned at me whenever I looked at her, but perhaps it was specially at me – at least so I imagined. There was a general impression of chin about her face". These plain-speaking judges did all grant Brontë one outstanding feature; large, shining eyes "of extraordinary brilliance and penetration". From their descriptions, it seems safe to conclude that Charlotte Brontë had an unusually large brow, large expressive eyes, a wide mouth collapsing over missing teeth and a big nose (like her father, whom she was said to resemble). Richmond's portrait, for all its prettification, does actually indicate those characteristics in a veiled form. Read all: http://www.the-tls/The Times Literary Supplement

A wedding invitation from the BBC
Haworth and the Parsonage are great locations for film and tv and with Charlotte's bicentenary year just around the corner, we are receiving even more media enquiries than usual. We are very excited to be working with BBC Bristol on their one hour Brontë documentary and are looking forward to welcoming the crew to the Parsonage next month. 'Living Like a Brontë' will be presented by Martha Kearney, Lucy Mangan and Helen Oyeyemi and will air on BBC2 in the spring.
The week of filming will culminate in a re-enactment of Charlotte's marriage to Arthur Bell Nicholls and everyone is invited! The BBC would like Brontë fans and local residents to line Church Street and celebrate as Charlotte enters the church on her wedding day. We think this will be a lovely way in which to end the year and hope that many of you will join us. Filming will take place outside the museum on Friday 11 December and anyone interested should contact rebecca.yorke@bronte.org.uk in order to receive further information as details become available.

Charlotte Bronte, did she use opium? Or do we see the creation of a new Bronte Myth?
Charlotte Brontë kept this journal while working as a teacher at Roe Head school in West Yorkshire. The pages shown here were written in August 1836. In the journal she records both imaginary happenings in Angria and the banalities of her everyday life as a teacher:
What I imagined grew morbidly vivid,...All this day I have been in a dream, half miserable and half ecstatic: miserable because I could not follow it out uninterruptedly; ecstatic because it shewed almost in the vivid light of reality the ongoings of the infernal world. ...Then came on me, rushing impetuously, all the mighty phantasm that we had conjured from nothing to a system strong as some religious creed. I felt as if I could have written gloriously - I longed to write. The spirit of all Verdopolis, of all the mountainous North, of all the woodland West, of all the river-watered East came crowding into my mind. If I had had time to indulge it, I felt that the vague sensations of that moment would have settled down into some narrative better at least than any thing I ever produced before. But just then a dolt came up with a lesson. I thought I should have vomited.

Claire Harman in her new biography is suggesting Charlotte Bronte was using laudanum/ opium during the time she was a teacher at Roe Head. What does her suggest this:
Branwell and Charlotte were both reading Confessions of an English Opium Eater by Thomas de Quincy. The young Brontes were fascinated by the book.
Branwell later told a friend that he had experimented with opium eating after reading de Quincy. Claire Harman thinks it is unlikely, given the opportunity, Charlotte would not have joined him in some testing of the magical drug.
Phantasms as Charlotte discribes in her Roe Head diary are like the phantoms that was commonly used to describe opium -induced reveries.
Claire Harman uses a foot-note: Christina Alexander brought readers' attention to something Charlotte wrote 3 years after the priod in Roe Head "Now Thownshend, so suffering, how far did I err when I had recourse to the sovereign specific which a siple narcotic drug offered me"
Opiates, laudanum drops were a common tranquilliser in the Brontes time, easily available over de druggist counter.
There is one person who ever asked Charlotte Bronte if she was using opium during the time she was writing Vilette and that is Elizabeth Gaskell.
"I asked whether she had ever taken opium, as the description given of its effects in Villette was so exactly like what I had experienced, – vivid and exaggerated presence of objects, of which the outlines were indistinct, or lost in golden mist, &c. She replied, that she had never, to her knowledge, taken a grain of it in any shape, but that she had followed the process she always adopted when she had to describe anything which she had not fallen within her own experience; she had thought intently on it for many and many a night before falling asleep, – wondering what it was like or how it would be, – till at length, sometimes after the progress of her story had been arrested at this point for weeks, she wakened up in the morning with all clear before her, as if she had in reality gone through the experience, and then could describe it, word for word, as it had happened.".
One of the things why I love Charlotte Bronte is because of this answer. It is giving such a good expression of creativity. I love: Specially she wakened up in the morning with all clear before her, as if she had in reality gone through the experience, and then could describe it, word for word, as it had happened.". I am interested in the process of creativity, I am a painter myself. And I found many testimonies of creative people like painters, writers who are telling exactly the same. And I have experienced it myself.
Elizabeth Gaskell is ending with: I cannot account for this psychologically: I only am sure that it was so, because she said so. Claire Harman is asking: Maybe Charlotte being evasive, making a rather specious distinction about the size of a dose and if so, why?
To my surprise in a review in the theguardian the question mark is gone. When Gaskell had asked Brontë about fact and fiction in the novels, she got some unexpected answers. Brontë was evasive about whether she had based the opium trance in Villette on personal experience (in an age when opium was readily available and often used.
It starts to become a truth. Is this the way in the past Bronte myths were created? I wonder is it enough for a biographer to use a question mark, without having a real prove? What is the real prove Claire Harman has? Did she forget that the Brontes from their childhood on were full of imagination?
Is it so incredible to think that Charlotte made her work on her own power of creating? Charlotte was a teenage girl when she was working as a teacher at Roe Head. Is it so strange she had strong visions and feelings? I had them when I was a teenager and I certainly did not use opium.

Charlotte Bronte, did she use opium? Or do we see ...


In the lobby and ballroom of Hotel DuPont are beautifully displayed crystal chandeliers.
The suite we stayed in for the weekend included a king size bed with the adjoining suite that featured double beds.
The Green Room, with its "unforgettablei setting" of Shimmering draperies, chandeliers of pure gold, winged back chairs, delicious food and intimacy.
Shariar, who has been employed at Hotel du Pont for more than 26 years was our outstanding waiter for the evening.
Succulent French Onion Soup was just one of our starters for dinner.
Pan seared scallops with a delectable sauce.
Awards won by Hotel du Pont's posted outside of the Green Room's restaurant as a winner for 2015 regarding outstanding food and service.
A walking tour of the Christina Room at the hotel with original paintings by Andrew Wyeth and other family members. This one of the largest private collection of this major artist.
This painting is entitled "Skiff in the Cove" by W. McCoy.
A painting entitled, "Master of the Fox Hound."
My sister and I along with our daughters and her granddaughter prancing around in the beautiful "Gold Ballroom," where beautiful wedding receptions are held.
One of the decadent chandeliers with fantastic craftsmanship and "graffito," etched into the walls. The ballroom "showcases 20 medallions of history's most acclaimed women, including Cleopatra, Helen of Troy, Pocahontas, and Madame du Barry."

Another major award won by the Hotel du Pont that is posted outside of the restaurant.
An architectural masterpiece of distinction exists in #Hotel du Pont, located downtown Wilmington, Delaware. Once you walk through the illustrious, statuesque, walnut doors; you are transformed into a period of pure solace and renowned hospitality. The hotel had its momentous grand opening more than 103 years ago, with designs of the "Italian Renaissance style." Hotel du Pont's lobby was redecorated in 2010 with stunning modern furniture and famous artwork that welcomes you graciously. This edifice of prominence is a symbol of historical intrigue and elegance. We must genuinely give thanks to our Heavenly Father Jehovah, for giving humankind such creative thinking ability to construct such awe-inspiring structures. It is now my privilege to share this resplendent taste of architectural magnificence with my readers.
A weekend getaway for my twin sister Paulette, her daughter Chante and granddaughter LaShae. My daughters Wanisha, Jaleesa and I, were fortunate enough to spend a weekend at this fantastic hotel. Thanks to my son-in-law Muhammad Bey, is employed at Hotel du Pont and my daughter Wanisha, who organized this awesome weekend. The hotel with all its meritorious appearance is somewhat pricey but as the old saying goes, "you pay for what you get." From the time of our arrival, we received outstanding service. Professionally dressed valets, baggage handlers, and front desk staff were very attentive to our every need.
When we arrived in our suites, exquisite was an understatement. My older sister Linda and her husband Randolph, previously stayed at Hotel du Pont last year when my daughter married Mo. After the wedding, she expressed, "My husband and I hated to leave. After we returned from the wedding ceremony, our suites were clean, and the clothes that we left out were even hung up." My sister Lean who also stayed said, "It was the best hotel I have ever stayed at." We all agree unanimously with these statements.
To make our experience more identifiable; remember, Queen Latifah, in the 2006 movie Last Holiday. Latifah supposedly tried to spend the last days of her life in a swank hotel where she ate great food and enjoyed the ultimate source of lifestyle, regardless of cost. We could never afford what the Queen experienced, but we did try to see what this type of lifestyle would be. It was interesting to see how the wealthy live. Although we must humbly attempt to be in search of the very best deals that we can afford whenever we travel. We were able to stay for the weekend in two adjoining suites with cozy beds, oak-paneled columns, stylish furniture, and every amenity from bubble baths to designer shower gels, lotions, comfy white bathrobes, and shoes were also provided. We truly enjoyed this unforgettable weekend.
Once we unpacked, it was dinner time. We made reservations at the hotel's restaurant. A Self-Guided Walking Tour brochure described our dinner experience this way, "The Green Room offers the finest French cuisine in an unforgettable setting of fumed oak paneling, coffered oak beamed ceiling, Italian mosaic floors, and original oil paintings. As you look up, admire the chandeliers made of pure gold imported from Spain. The Green Room features a colorful combination of new and old; including shimmering draperies, comfortable wingback chairs, and Versace patterned china. The perfect setting for an intimate dinner for two followed by a memorable wedding proposal." We did not see any exciting wedding proposals performed but the ambiance and delectable food are outstandingly appropriate for any momentous occasion.
We were superbly served by Shariar, who has worked at the hotel for more than 26 years. His professionalism was very refreshing. Drinks such as Dirty Martinis and Long Island Iced Teas, were partaken. Various specially prepared salads and French Onion Soups were our starters for the evening. Impeccable plates of great taste and appearance were presented such as Pan Seared Crab Cakes with fried spinach, Surf and Turf, Pan Seared Scallops and luscious desserts. A delicious assortment of cookies was available at the end of dinner as well as after-dinner drinks.
After an outstanding dinner, we went on a self-guided tour of the hotel. The luxuriance of the Gold Ballroom is breathtaking. Within the guided tour pamphlet it is described as, "The Gold Ballroom is a testament to long-lost craftsmanship with the execution of walls decorated in "graffito." Translated to "scratching" this Italian Renaissance artistic style includes multiple layers of colored plaster, scratched with special tools to dictate the color and design." The Du Barry Room is also part of the tour with "a beautiful crystal chandelier imported from Yugoslavia. Although it is not original to the room, it enhances the beauty and splendor of the room."
Some of the world's most prestigious original paintings by# Andrew Wyeth and "three generations of Wyeths, N.C., Andrew and Jamie," are displayed in the Christina Room. Another magnificently decorated room within the hotel is the Brandywine Room. "Stars would also gather in the Brandywine Room for quiet conversation and tea, and would dine here, after the show such as Ingrid Bergman and her daughter #Isabella Rossellini." For entertainment, "The Playhouse on Rodney Square, is Wilmington's home for touring Broadway productions, but also plays host to many other performances and events throughout the year. The Playhouse, now operated by #The Grand Opera House, has remained open for every season for the past 102 years, earning it the distinction of being the oldest continuous theater on the Broadway touring circuit." For additional information and tours contact box office at 302-888-0200.
The Self-Guided Walking Tour pamphlet mentioned, "Throughout its history, the 217 room Hotel du Pont has welcomed many notable guests including Nobel Peace Prize recipient Archbishop Desmond Tutu; US future and past presidents, including John F. Kennedy, sports legends, such as Joe DiMaggio; members of royalty, such as #Prince Rainier of Monaco and other iconic celebrities-Charles Lindbergh, Amelia Earhart, Katherine Hepburn, Eleanor Roosevelt, and more. Current political and entertainment figures who have attended events at the Hotel include #Barack Obama when he was Presidential nominee, Vice President Joe Biden, Bruce Willis, Reese Witherspoon, #Denzel Washington, even entire sports teams, such as the Tampa Bay Rays and the Arizona Cardinals."
If you are interested in more information on the Hotel du Pont, please go to their website or as the pamphlet explained, "For more history and images of the Hotel, visit our gift shop to purchase our books 'Images of America: Hotel du Pont', and 'Images of America: DuPont Theatre'.
Thanks for your comment as well.Looking forward to future articles from you.
Gorgeous Hotel!!! Thanks for the lovely review.

LG G4 officially unveiled, big improvements in camera
You've probably already seen the leaked G4, so LG's official announcement shouldn't come as too much of a surprise. The company officially unveiled the new flagship phone today at an event in New York, and damn that phone looks awesome!
The G4 doesn't look too different from its predecessor. Most of the changes are actually under the hood and on the screen. It retains the quad HD 5.5 inch screen of the G3, but this time it's a quantum LCD, which has much higher brightness and contrast than regular LCD screens. It also has a slight curve, and there are now special backs that include multiple shades of leather.
The camera is the big improvement this time around. LG's using a 16 megapixel sensor coupled with a very bright and powerful f/1.8 lens. What this means is that you can get brighter shots in low light; there will also be a nice depth of field. Coupled with optical image stabilization, the camera looks like a winner. The selfie-cam is 8 megapixels with improved gesture control. Photography freaks will be happy to know that there's a manual mode and RAW shooting.
Inside the phone, however, things are not as exciting. Instead of the Snapdragon 810 processor that's in the other high-end flagship phones out this year, LG has opted for the Snapdragon 808, which is a six-core processor. LG claims that it's competitive with the Exynos chip in Samsung's Galaxy S6, but that remains to be seen. Battery life is said to be stellar though, so that's a consolation.
The best part of the G4 is its removable battery! It comes with a 3000mAh battery that you can swap for a new one when it's dead. Keeping with the theme, there's also a microSD slot as well as 32GB of on-board storage.
Of course, it runs Android Lollipop with LG's tweaks on top. Customers will also get 100GB of Google Drive space for two years. There's also MirrorLink support for those who drive Volkswagen.
No word on availability and price though. Expect it to be available soon; as for price, you can expect it to be competitively priced with the Galaxy S6 and One M9.

It's been a long time coming, but the U.S. Coast Guard's new communication system is up and running.
I'd guess that not too many of us are still using radios that are more than 30 years old. But believe it or not, until recently, U.S. Coast Guard stations in the lower 48 states were still using communications equipment that had originally been installed as part of the National Distress and Response System (NDRS) back in the 1970s. Like most old electronics equipment, it was becoming increasingly unreliable and difficult to maintain.
However, progress has been slow. The first contracts were signed in 2000, and installation work began in 2003. But it wasn't until the late fall of 2005 that the first few sectors were able to go online, and Rescue 21 coverage of the Great Lakes, western rivers, Puerto Rico, Hawaii, and Guam has yet to be completed. The geography and climate of Alaska pose special problems that are likely to mean that the changeover there most likely won't be completed for about five years.
But what a change it will be. A basic requirement for the new system is that it should allow Coast Guard watchstanders ashore to communicate with a casualty in both directions 20 miles offshore even if that casualty is using nothing more than a one-watt portable VHF. Another key feature is that most of the 350 radio masts that are being built or adapted for the Rescue 21 project will be equipped with radio-direction-finding equipment capable of showing the bearing of any incoming distress call within an accuracy of about two degrees. About 80 percent of America's coastal waters are within range of two or more towers at once, so a watchstander who receives a distress call should be presented with the casualty's position on-screen and to an accuracy of about half a mile even before he has finished responding to the initial call.
The third of the big advantages of the new system is that if your radio is connected to your GPS (and if it is properly registered), then pressing the red "panic button" will automatically broadcast a distress alert that will include your position and Maritime Mobile Service Identity (MMSI), and trigger an alarm at the Coast Guard watchstander's console. Believe it or not, this function—supposedly the most important of the DSC and of the Global Distress and Safety System—is only just now becoming available around the U.S. coastline.
Enhanced coverage compared with the NDRS that it replaces. When the new system is complete, it will cover 99.5 percent of U.S. coastal waters.
More radio channels that will allow simultaneous communication on five VHF channels (including Channel 16) and one UHF channel. As well as making it easier to deal with multiple incidents at one time, it is expected that this will reduce the risk of a low-powered distress call being "stepped on" by a stronger signal.
Digital analysis and recording equipment that will make it easier to understand genuine calls and to identify hoaxes.
Allowance for interoperability with other federal, state, and local communications systems.
Includes mobile radio masts mounted on trailers that can quickly take over from damaged masts in the event of natural disasters such as floods, hurricanes, and tsunamis.
The Coast Guard is encouraging all boaters to take advantage of the new system by investing in VHF radios and applying for MMSI (Maritime Mobile Service Identity) numbers but stresses that boaters who already have VHFs do not need to buy any additional equipment.

Philippine conglomerate Ayala Corp. said it plans to increase its presence in the power, infrastructure and education sectors as it expands in the medium term and has earmarked $1 billion for that reason, Businessworld reported.
Ayala Chairman and CEO Jaime Augusto Zobel de Ayala told reporters on April 4 that the country's oldest conglomerate was looking at new opportunities beyond its core real estate, banking, and telecommunications businesses.
"We wanted new opportunities that had scale, that would be aligned to the national development agenda," Ayala said.
Ayala, which is celebrating its 180th year, owns the country's largest property developer, Ayala Land, Inc. It also owns the country's biggest bank by capital – Bank of the Philippine Islands – as well as a leading telecommunications provider Globe Telecom, Inc.
Ayala said he believed the holding firm had the balance sheet to contribute to nation building, and would be taking on partners to bid for key government projects. The firm has said that it had earmarked $1 billion for planned power and infrastructure investments until 2016.
The company was "more than halfway" through its target of building 1,000 megawatts of capacity by next year. So far, Ayala's AC Energy Holdings Inc. has acquired stakes in a 270-MW coal plant in Batangas, a 33-megawatt wind farm project in Bangui, Ilocos Norte and another 81-megawatt wind farm project, also in Ilocos Norte.
AC Energy has also completed the acquisition of a 17 per cent stake in GNPower Mariveles Coal Plant Ltd. Co., the owner of a 600-megawatt coal-fired generating plant in Mariveles, Bataan.
Ayala said the company planned to bid for the Cavite-Laguna Expressway road project and the Light Rail Transit Line 1 Cavite extension project.
Ayala's infrastructure unit, AC Infrastructure Holdings Inc., won a bid to construct the four-kilometer Daang Hari-South Luzon Expressway connector road in 2011. The project is expected to be completed by the end of this year.
Ayala – via the AF Consortium and with conglomerate Metro Pacific Investments Corp. – last week also formally received the award to design and construct the Automatic Fare Collection System Project for LRT-1 and two other Metro Manila light railways. The new fare system will be implemented by the third quarter of next year.
The company also plans to increase its presence in the education sector. Ayala announced last February that it has forged an agreement with London-based Pearson to build a chain of high schools in the Philippines. Pearson is considered as the world's leading education company and is a member of the Financial Times Group.
"Education is of interest to us, and we'd like to participate in that space," Ayala said.

HOW TO INCORPORATE YOUR TRAVELS INTO YOUR DÉCOR WITHOUT CREATING A JUNGLE
Jonathan Perea
A person tweeted a food emoji and got lunch delivered—in real life.

We all know emoji can make any conversation better, but they can also be a helpful way to creatively order lunch.
Lexington, Kentucky-based startup Fooji allows users to tweet a food-related emoji to — well, order food. The company calls it "the simplification of food ordering."
SEE ALSO: Hold onto your burrito: 37 new emoji are coming to your phone this year
The premise seems simple: tweet an emoji of bread and get a delicious turkey sandwich at your office. But the process isn't quite that simple — at least, not the first time.
First, you have to log into the Fooji site with your Twitter account and enter your street address (for delivery) and credit card information. Then you browse the ever-changing "menu", which is limited to the set of food emojis currently available and supported by the Unicode Standard — that means no tacos or burritos until later this year.
After deciding what you're in the mood for (pizza, hamburgers or noodles, to name a few options), tweet your pick at the @gofooji account. Currently, the service is only available in Manhattan.
Oh, and you don't get to pick what you eat. This is for adventurous eaters only.
Oh, and you don't get to pick what you eat. This is for adventurous eaters only. Think of it as sort of a food discovery engine, similar to how services like Netflix and Apple Musicrecommend content for their users.Fooji founder and CEO Gregg Morton told Mashable that the lack of choice is a response to the overwhelming amount of options from services like Seamless.
"During the day, I work at another startup I co-founded, and this may sound crazy, but one of the biggest challenges we have during the day is what to eat for lunch," Morton said. "It takes us down a Netflix-like syndrome path where you're constantly just looking at content, or looking at menus, and you're not making a decision."
"You just give us the type of cuisine you like, and we'll handle the rest."
There is some truth to being paralyzed by indecision.
Anyone who has tried to coordinate a meal between multiple people in Manhattan knows there is too much to choose from — it's a good problem to have, but it's still an issue
Anyone who has tried to coordinate a meal between multiple people in Manhattan knows there is too much to choose from — it's a good problem to have, but it's still an issue, especially when you're pressed for time at work.Morton said the inspiration came from Domino's Pizza, which allows customers to order pizzas via tweeting a pizza emoji as part of its Easy Order system. Fooji expands upon this concept but offers an advantage in delivering diverse menu items, whereas Domino's only delivers its own pizzas.
Fooji partnered with Seamless and GrubHub to create an algorithm for randomized ordering. When you tweet an emoji that indicates the cuisine you want, the algorithm finds a restaurant in your area with a 4- or 5-star rating and chooses the highest-rated dishes. A minimum amount of user ratings are required for Fooji to select a restaurant, eliminating places with a 5-star rating from only one user.
Originally, the company was going to manually fulfill orders, but after garnerning so much initial attention, Morton said the needed to automate the ordering became clear.
IMAGE: MILES GOSCHA/MASHABLE COMPOSITE
Each meal costs about $15; Fooji makes about $2 off each purchase. Some meals cost a little more or a little less than $15, but the average is around $13.
Currently, the service is not very friendly for people with any dietary restrictions, but the company is working on catering to more user preferences. For the purposes of this review, my order had to be adjusted manually because of my own food allergies (I DMed with @GoFooji after I tweeted my request). To be fair, allergic reactions are a hazard of ordering any delivery food.
IMAGE: FOOJI
Sure, it's a little silly. But I got a delicious sandwich from Melt Shop, which I might not have ever tried otherwise.
Using Twitter to order food is fairly outward-facing, since you'll be broadcasting your order. But Morton said the company is hoping to work with SMS, too. Its technology, which is patent pending, has the ability to "order goods and over services using an emoji communication set on a communications platform," so Fooji could conceivably exist on any social media platform.
But there are challenges, beyond emoji and menu options and dietary restrictions. I can't see people ordering random meals all the time (it's more of a "wouldn't it be cool if we tried this once?" service). The real money could be in the technology that powers the operation. Soon after buzz around Fooji took off, Morton said large franchise restaurants like McDonalds and Taco Bell approached the company to use the technology for their own services.
So while @gofooji remains something of a gimmick, it's certainly one of the more fun ones we've seen.

Blu-ray Review: Jason Statham Can't Keep Dull 'Parker' Interesting
Submitted by BrianTT on May 31, 2013 - 3:58pm
CHICAGO – How could a movie based on a Donald Westlake book that includes Michael Chiklis, Wendell Pierce, Nick Nolte, and even Jennifer Lopez in support of Jason Statham be this dull? It feels like "Parker" director Taylor Hackford set out to make an old-fashioned noir but Statham and his team demanded too much of his square-jawed action. The result is a tonally inconsistent film that's too silly to be called drama but too dull to be called escapism.
