The swaggering 'Top Chef' winner Michael Voltaggio prepares to open two Los Angeles eateries. Jace Lacob sat down with him to discuss sandwiches and regrets.
Michael Voltaggio doesn't ever take a day off.
The 32-year-old Top Chef winner doesn't sleep, either. He's preparing to launch his first solo restaurant, ink., designing his own dinnerware collection (fittingly called Voltage), writing a cookbook with his brother and fellow Top Chef finalist Bryan, dreaming of a designer T-shirt line, and overseeing the design and construction on ink.sack, a top-secret conceptual restaurant that will open Thursday in Los Angeles.
Voltaggio—dressed simply in a white V-neck T-shirt, jeans, and a black baseball cap—is not being modest. These days, nearly all of his time is spent at ink., located in the restaurant space that formerly housed Hamasaku and Citrine. The location, the lease of which is held by the fiery former mogul Michael Ovitz, has sat empty for two years, and ink.'s opening has been delayed for months by a battle with a neighbor over permits.
As the victor of the Emmy Award-winning Season 6 of Bravo's cutthroat culinary competition, pressure has been mounting on Voltaggio, a deeply inventive and precise chef, to deliver. But the $125,000 prize from the reality show, intended as seed money for a restaurant venture, has served a different purpose: survival.
Inside, ink. is stark and industrial but still inviting, despite the pervasive gray palette: inkblots mar the floor while a painting of chef's knives and cleavers stands next to the open kitchen; gray plantation shutters create the sense that the diner could be anywhere other than West Hollywood, while wood beams inject some warmth and solidity. A swirling ceiling construct, once part of Hamasaku's white décor, is juxtaposed with the angular nature of the bar. While that swirl suggests ink as a medium, there are no stylistic gimmicks here.
It's a far cry from Voltaggio's last haunt at the Langham Hotel's posh, expensive The Dining Room in Pasadena, where the modernity of his food was at odds with the stuffy formality of the space. The sense of comfort, overseen by interior designer Cliff Fong, will trickle down to the menu itself, which will be served family-style and won't be broken down into categories like appetizers or entrees, allowing diners to devise their own tasting menu, but not at haute cuisine prices. Voltaggio describes the food as "modern Los Angeles cuisine," that will borrow techniques from the various cultures—Korean, Persian, Thai, Mexican—that populate the city.
A sushi bar, another remnant from Hamasaku's days, has been transformed into an eight-seat omakase area, from which Voltaggio will prepare a multiple-course tasting menu each night the restaurant is open. Omakase, Voltaggio explained, means "trust" in Japanese, trusting in the chef to prepare an experience that will take the diner through multiple courses.
At The Dining Room, it was rare to see Voltaggio out of the kitchen, despite his newfound fame as the winner of Top Chef. His decision to flee to Pasadena, he said, was a reaction to his sudden visibility at The Bazaar, Jose Andres' flashy restaurant at the SLS Hotel in Beverly Hills, where he had served as chef de cuisine.
One year later, ink. is still vacant, awaiting an audience. But two doors down sits Voltaggio's super-secret sandwich shop, which he has been quietly designing and building for the last few months (he demolished the space with crowbars and sledgehammers, designed it, and contracted it himself), testing recipes with his sous chef, Cole Dickinson (possibly the only chef in Los Angeles with more tattoos than Voltaggio), and engineering a plan to generate some revenue while the ink. gang awaits the go-ahead to open.
ink.sack, which opens Thursday, is meant to suggest both squid ink and brown-bag lunches. It's intended as a casual but upscale takeout sandwich shop, serving six different kinds of small sandwiches, "so you can get at least two, if not three," according to Voltaggio.
If that hasn't kept him busy, Voltaggio has written a cookbook, VOLT ink., with his brother Bryan, with whom he competed on Top Chef. "We're closer brothers now after the show," said Voltaggio of his relationship with Bryan, his toughest competition. The two often sniped at each other, arguing over plastic wrap in one instance, and engaging in the typically aggressive posturing and competitiveness brothers sometimes do. Despite the fierce competition, both Voltaggios made it all the way to the final three contestants, with Michael emerging the ultimate winner after a culinary battle royale.
Voltaggio courted a bit of controversy earlier this year when New York Times contributor Julia Chaplin wrote a profile of Top Chef Season 2 contestant Sam Talbot, seemingly focusing more on his looks and designer jeans than on his abilities. ("He is among a new breed of celebrity chefs who have coasted into culinary fame, less by grueling dues-paying, and more on their telegenic brand," Chaplin wrote in March. "The group includes the brothers Bryan and Michael Voltaggio, Ludo Lefebvre, Spike Mendelsohn, Sam Mason, Fabio Viviani and Marcel Vigneron.") Lefebvre and Voltaggio lashed back at Chaplin via the Los Angeles Times, with Voltaggio indicating that he was "deeply insulted" by Chaplin for the assertion that he hadn't paid his dues within the culinary world. Voltaggio has 17 years of experience, beginning work when he was 15 through apprenticeships, working for free, and sleeping in hostels in Spain, so he could experience the culture and cuisine of that country.
Voltaggio isn't all masculine bluster. Divorced from Kerri Adams, the mother of his two children, the chef said he'd support his two daughters—Olivia and Sophia—if they wanted to follow in his footsteps and enter the culinary world. There is no sense of the swagger he typically displayed on Top Chef when he spoke about his children, who live in Florida, or the regrets he said he has.
Editor's note: An earlier version of this story stated that ink.sack would open on Wednesday. Voltaggio pushed the opening to Thursday.

Q: WPF: add several objects into my ListView - only the first one is added I have my Object that i want to add into my ListView:
Public class MyData
{
    string name {get; set;}
}

This is how i try to add my object behind code:
ObservableCollection<MyData> collection = new ObservableCollection<MyData>();
            MyData data1 = new MyData("c:\file.doc");
            collection.Add(data1);
            myListView.Items.Add(collection);

This works fine but if i want to add another one:
ObservableCollection<MyData> collection = new ObservableCollection<MyData>();
            MyData data1 = new MyData("c:\file.doc");
            collection.Add(data1);

            MyData data2 = new MyData("c:\blabla.doc");
            collection.Add(data2);

            myListView.Items.Add(collection);

I can see only the first object.
ListView XAML:

A: Define the collection as follows :
public ObservableCollection<Data> dataList { get; set; }

initialize it in your constructor and add the elements according to your needs.
Set the data context of your window :
this.DataContext = this;

Then data bind it in xaml :
<ListView Name="myListView"
          ItemsSource="{Binding dataList}"/>

It should work and you should see both elements added.
For your specific case, don't add the collection to the Items, but set the ItemsSource of your ListView.
myListView.ItemsSource = collection;

Market and society are strongly manifested in the Internet, especially in social networks. Twitter allows to their more than 200 millions users to post/read messages, known as tweets. Users can also reply and re-post these tweets from different types of devices such as computers, tablets or smartphones, transforming Twitter in one of the most important social networks where news and opinions spreads quickly around the world. This presentation will show two different tools for real-time Twitter analysis.
The first, called User Network, corresponds to an interactive and real time graph of user "talking" about a topic. This network is characterized by a metric for influence, called Social Network Influence (SNI_score), for users belonging to the graph. The SNI score for the user u considers: (i) the number of users connected directly to them, (ii) the size g of the set of users belonging to the graph to which u belongs, (iii) the strategic-topological position of u in the graph, (iv) the number of Followers and Friends of u in Twitter and (v) the influence probability, corresponding to the actions (tweets) performed by users of g that are a consequence of the actions performed by u.
The other tool, are two network-based algorithms designed for natural language processing. Using word networks (i.e., graphs build out of words co-occurrences in tweets) one of the algorithms infers the principal idea behind a set of tweets constructing the most probable word chains extracted from those networks according to the frequency of words and relations in the set. The other algorithm classifies automatically tweets in different sentiment categories (positive, negative and neutral) mapping unclassified tweets on training word networks (i.e., co-occurrence word networks constructed using set of tweets previously classified in a sentiment category by a human). Thus, the lower cost obtained for reconstructing an unclassified tweet in a trained network determines its category.


I have been very busy the last week or so and have not had much chance to post things on here. As usual there has been loads going on in Almerimar to entertain the summer visitors.
For example, last week was Pirate week. Here is a picture from the Facebook page of the Almerimar Junta Local showing a little of what happened.

HEART OF ENGLAND CO-OPERATIVE SOCIETY SHOPPERS GIVE BOOST TO SURVIVORS OF SEXUAL ABUSE
Young people get creative at an activity session organised by Safeline which included hand painting and cake baking.
A Warwick-based charity which works to prevent sexual abuse and to support affected survivors has been given a helping hand by the Heart of England Co-operative Society.
Safeline, which operates across Warwick and Stratford, was awarded £2,500 from the sales of 5p carrier bags from Society food stores in the area.
It is part of a government scheme introduced in 2015 to reduce the use of the single-use bags and often the resultant litter.
Safeline will put the money towards general funds.
The surprise windfall comes after shoppers at The Co-operative food stores operated by the Society, in Coventry, Warwickshire, south Leicestershire and Northamptonshire, were asked to vote for one of 15 charities in the area to receive a share of £25,000.
With the second highest number of votes among customers in the Warwick area, Woodloes Park Community Centre Youth Club in Warwick received £1,500, while Action for Children received £1,000.
First established in 1994, Safeline offers face-to-face, online and telephone counselling, creative therapies and group therapies, personal and social development programmes and one-to-one support for vulnerable children and young people.
There are also separate helplines and online services for men, women and young people, as well as practical and emotional support when reporting abuse to the police, and training services for parents and professionals supporting survivors.
Neil Henderson, Chief Executive of Safeline, said: "We are so grateful to the customers of the Heart of England Co-operative Society for choosing Safeline to receive £2,500 of unrestricted funding.
"Unrestricted funding is so important to a charity like ours – it allows us to be more responsive and flexible which has been vital in enabling us to deal effectively with the impact Covid-19 has had on people living with the effects of sexual violence and abuse. Unrestricted donations help us to be forward-thinking and to adapt to the changing needs of the people we support."
He added: "The donation to Safeline is an investment in our staff, our organisation and most importantly our clients, and will contribute towards the maintenance of our free, specialist counselling and group support for survivors and their families during the current period and beyond."
Government statistics show that in 2014 customers used more than 7.6 billion single-use bags, equating to 61,000 tonnes or 140 bags for every person in Britain.
After the levy was introduced in 2015 sales of the bags in major supermarkets fell by 86 per cent, equating to just 19 bags per person in 2016/17.
By 2018 the number of bags sold had further fallen, with 1.75 billion sold during the year.

Meet the Dogs of Ames Lake
Our dogs have stories too!
Meet Sunny
Sunny's answers interpreted by Mindy Byram
What do your humans call you? What type of dog are you?
My mom calls me Sunny, but my dad says it's a hippie name, so he calls me Sunny Kombucha to make fun of my mom. When I'm being a dummy, he calls me "Booch" for short. I also answer to "No Don't Eat That!" and "Get Off Of There!". I'm a Siberian Husky, but my mom and dad call me a Velociraptor... When I lived in the scary place with all the other dogs in kennels, people called me Sturgis. My mom says that was my jail name - I think because it's some kind of motorcycle rally.
I'm going to be a whole year old sometime this December, but I hear we're going to celebrate it on New Year's Eve, I guess it's because I was the best part of 2020, or something like that. I don't know what everyone is complaining about, though - I had humans around to play with me all day, every day, whether they liked it or not.
Who do you live with?
I live with my mom and dad, Mindy and Nick Becerra. Also, my two favorite people to play with - my two-legged sister Zoe and my two-legged brother Ethan. I'm pretty sure he's some kind of wild animal...
Where did they find you?
I have no clue where I'm from, all I know is that when my mom picked me up from the Humane Society in Wenatchee this August, the temperature thing said 112 degrees. I'm so much happier (and cooler) on this side of the mountains!
Do you live with any other pets?
I'm an only child but I looooove playing with my furry neighbor friends when I go out for walks! EVERYTHING IS SO EXCITING!!
What are some of your favorite things to do in Ames Lake?
Ball. Ball! BALL! Squirrel! Sorry, what was the question? Oh - I really love to ruuuuun everywhere I can! When my humans take me up to some trails near our house, my favorite thing is to run super fast behind their bike things. I am also happy to meet new people. I have 496 best friends around the lake!
Is there anything you've done here for the first time?
I'm still a puppy, so I've had a lot of firsts here this year. I learned how to swim in the lake at the end of the summer, and I'm already looking forward to doing it again next year! I even got to ride on a big board while my family paddled me around. A few times, I jumped in the water and made my humans fall in with me! Whoops!
My mom says soon I'll get to run around in some kind of cold fluffy white stuff in my backyard, I just have to be patient.
Is there anything else you want to say?
I like smiling! Smiling's my favorite!!
MEET BERETTA AND REMINGTON
Answers interpreted by Adrienne Beier
What kind of dogs are you?
Remington and Beretta: We're both Boxers.
(Remington) I'm 11, an old man.
(Beretta) I'm 7.
Remington and Beretta: Our humans are Nathan and Adrienne.
They adopted us from NW Boxer Rescue. They treat us like brother and sister, but we're not.
Remington and Beretta: No, we're enough.
Where do you live in Ames Lake?
We live somewhere at the end of a street in a place they call the Vista.
Remington and Beretta: We love meeting other dogs when our mom takes us for walks around the lake.
(Remington) Beretta even remembers where some dogs live and will look for them when they're not outside. But we only do short walks because I'm an oldster and Beretta has a bad leg.
Remington and Beretta: Sometimes we go for slow walks with our humans on the trails. walks go with us. But our favorite thing is chasing the bunnies and squirrels. There are so many!
One more thing. What are your favorite treats?
Remington and Beretta: We like chicken treats, carrots, and ice cubes.
We love talking about ourselves, so this was fun. We've only been in Ames Lake for a little while, but we're both happy we get to live here.
MEET CHABLIS
Answers interpreted by Kim Fiske
What type of dog are you? How old are you?
I am a poodle (by looks and DNA test) and I am probably around 11 years old.
I live with my parents, Kim and Tom Fiske. You may recognize them as the people who wave at you when you drive by (it's kind of embarrassing).
Where did they find you? Did you grow up in Ames Lake?
I did not grow up here – I was found on the mean streets of Los Angeles when I was around 2 years old. A rescue poodle! Then I spent several years in the Bay area of California before we moved here.
How did you get your name?
My name is Chablis (like the French wine) – the name given to me by the rescue group. My name fit with my family particularly well because I had a poodle sister named Gewurztraminer (Wurze for short).
I like to walk and walk, around the lake is fine, but I love the trails. I will admit I don't like other dogs, so my parents cover my eyes if we come across one, then I forget that they're there. I like to wade in the water, but I don't choose to go swimming. These days, however, due to an exuberant jump after a ball, I broke my foot so I am not supposed to go walking, which makes me sad.
The vet's office said I was the toughest poodle they had seen. I think I am too tough for the jacket my parents put on me when it rains, but they complain that the forest sticks to my hair – I collect leaves, pine needles, mud, water, dirt, rocks…whatever will stick.
Did you like answering all these questions? Was there something I forgot?
I would like to do an interview about the smells of Ames Lake, someday – my parents don't seem to appreciate all the smells I find.
MEET DAISY
Answers interpreted by Cherri Gruver
What type of dog are you?
I'm a Chocolate Lab.
I'm 7 ½ years old (but I act like I'm 2).
I live with my human Mom (Cherri), my Dad (Tom), and my human brother (Sam).
I came from a Chocolate Lab breeder in Tacoma. My dad, Copper, was a show dog. My mom, Elsie, was a bird hunting dog.
No, I'm the only furry member in the house and I prefer it that way. I'm an attention hog!
Did you grow up in Ames Lake?
No, I was 6 when my family moved here in 2019. But it sure feels like home.
I LOVE having a dock I can launch off to fetch a stick (the bigger the stick, the better). I also love to hike around the tree farm with my mom. I've rolled in a lot of mud puddles around here and also chased a few rabbits!
My mom is working with me to sit nicely on her paddleboard when she goes around the lake in the summer. I'd much rather be IN the water than ON TOP of the water!
I'm a people dog at heart, and while I'm getting a little older and crankier (and I bark a lot), my family loves me. I'm a very lucky girl!
MEET MAUI & LILO
Answers interpreted by Jennifer Trapp-Langendoerfer
Our names are Maui and Lilo. (In our photo, Lilo is the one who's all black.)
(Lilo) We're both about 2 years old, but Maui is 4 months older.
(Maui) I was here first, but they decided I needed a friend, so they got Lilo. It was love at first sight and we've been like peas and carrots ever since!
(Maui) I'm a smorgasbord of ingredients. The DNA test said I was slightly more Dobie, but also part Rottie, Australian Sheepdog, Chow, and a bit of Dingo. I might look and sound tough but it's all an act. My superpower is my tongue. I love kissing people, once I know they aren't going to kill us. I'm a giver!
(Lilo) To look at me, you'd think I'm a black lab, but the DNA test said I'm a first-generation cross breed of Boxer and Golden Retriever. My parents were both purebreds. Between me and Maui, I'm the quiet one. Maui likes to talk so I let him do most of the talking, but I will give him an earful when he has a toy I want or when I want him to chase me. My tail can dent drywall, put an eye out, or leave a bruise. I love having something in my mouth! Sock, undies, shirts, pieces of plants, or tree branches. Don't judge me!
Do you live on the lake?
(Maui and Lilo) We live across the street from the lake. In the off season we like going to the community beach and go racing around along the water's edge. We recently discovered that we could skirt around the fence at the beach too. Oops!
Did you grow up here?
(Maui and Lilo): We don't really remember where we lived before here.
(Maui) I've tried to block it out. When I was just a puppy, I lived with a lot of other dogs, including my siblings. We were being sold from the back of a truck, but luckily the guy decided to give us all to the Seattle Humane Society. My family had been searching for a dog, so when they heard of Maui's litter there, they were first in line to meet me.
(Lilo) I was adopted from Northwest Boxer Rescue as a support companion for Maui. My parents told me he was lonely and had so much energy he needed a playmate. I think the Latin term they used for him was "spaz". Maui scared off a couple other pup possibilities, and I might have been half Lilo's size, but was wrestling with him from the moment we met.
(Maui and Lilo) Our hoomans are Mark, Jennifer, and Reese.
(Maui and Lilo) We have three strange looking sisters that our hoomans call cats. There's Edwin (Eddie), Pumpkin, and Domino. They act like they don't want to play, but we KNOW they are just pretending.
What are some of your favorite things to do in Ames Lake? Do you like going for walks around the lake or hikes on the trails? Do you like playing in the water?
(Maui and Lilo) Sometimes when our gate is left askew or a branch falls on our fence, we get out before our hoomans notice. We duck and weave through as many yards both on the lake and behind in the Vista before our family comes chasing after us with the car or our leashes. Walking with our family around the lake is just too exhausting for us. They only want to walk in a straight line. We are so much more advanced than that, and we prefer the duck and weave method, so we don't bother to go for walks with them that often.
How did you like answering these questions?
(Maui and Lilo) This was great. Can we do it again soon? How about next Tuesday at 3:00?
MEET MELODI AND CEILI
Answers interpreted by Ellen Huls
How did you get your names?
(Melodi) I was named after the sci fi character Dr. Melody Pond on Dr Who. The character is very smart, adventurous, a little naughty, but very loyal and loving – like me!
(Ceili) My name is from the Gaelic word 'ceilidh', meaning party. I am a party on four paws!
What type of dogs are you?
(Melodi and Ceili) We are Cairn terrier/poodle mixes. We have the same mom and dad, but we're from different litters.
(Melodi) I'm black and Ceili is gold.
(Melodi and Ceili) Our mom says we've inherited the intelligence and the stubbornness of both terriers and poodles. We think that makes us perfect. So do both our parents!
(Melodi) I'm 9.
(Ceili) I'm 5.
(Melodi and Ceili) We like to think we look younger than we are.
(Melodi and Ceili) We live with our mom and dad, Ellen and Bill Huls. They tell us we're the most spoiled dogs in the world.
We also live with two betta fish. They're fun to look at.
Our doggy cousins live next door, and sometimes our other doggy cousins come and stay with us. But we rule over all of them. We are the girls in charge! At least in our minds…
(Melodi and Ceili) We were both born in Spokane, but we have lived here since we were very young.
With all the dogs and other animals in this neighborhood, we can't think of a better place to grow up.
What are your favorite things to do in Ames Lake? Have you learned anything new here?
(Melodi and Ceili) Our mom and dad fenced in our front patio for us this year, so now our favorite thing is to run around there, through the house, and then around the fenced backyard. We love to "talk" to people when they pass by our house.
We also like to go for walks with our parents around the lake
(Melodi) I learned that bunnies are very, very fast. I wish they would slow down!
(Ceili) The snow got really deep here two times. I'm only 20 pounds so I didn't like it at first, but the cold felt so good on my tummy!
(Melodi) I bark a lot because I have strong opinions and a lot to say. Sometimes at night I bark at the bunnies and squirrels in our backyard. My mom tells me to hush, but I want them to know who's boss!
(Ceili) I am cute, wiggly, and sassy, and I really like to play with humans. I'm a little shy at first, but if you come up to me when my mom and dad are around - especially my dad - I like to socialize with people and other dogs. Usually, I follow everything Melodi does because she's my big sister and she's really smart!
MEET CHENOA AND MARLEY
Answers interpreted by Eileen Brady
What type of dogs are you? How old are you?
Chenoa: I'm a 15-year-old American Standard Terrier and Chow mix, the lighter one in the photo. Marley is 11 and a Greater Swiss mix.
My buddy Marley and I live with our mom and dad, along with our 13-year-old human sister. Marley and I had to work out our differences at first, but now we're the best of buddies and don't like to be separated.
I was born in Louisiana. After hurricane Katrina, my mom was taking me to a shelter when she decided to adopt me! I was just a puppy then, so my mom flew back to Vermont with me under her seat. Then we moved and I have lived in Ames Lake for the past 3 years. I really like it here, especially hanging out with Marley.
Marley was adopted from a family in Skagit Valley when she was just a year old. She has lived in Ames Lake ever since.
We both love our walks around the lake and getting our paws wet in the water. Marley used to love to run around the tree farm but can't go that far now.
Woof Woof!

We're German Shorthair Pointers.
We're a little over a year old.
Our humans are Sandy and David Page. We also live with an 18-year-old cat named Cheddar avon Shredder (he has 7 toes). Plus, glow fish, cherry shrimp, and aquatic frogs.
Yes. The humans have lived on the same street in 4 different houses for 28 years. Good thing we are only a year old or we wouldn't know which house was ours!
We love to walk and hike. Mom takes us for runs around the lake. Our favorite thing is to walk around the tree farm and bark at birds during our trail run. In some places the brush is so thick we have to walk in a single file.
Have you learned anything new here?
We love the water and are learning how to swim. We also learned that our barks can be heard for miles (although Mom doesn't allow this very often).
What can you say about your breed?
We are high-energy Velcro dogs. We are bird dogs. We will find them, point them out, and bring them back to you. However, we aren't hunters.
What did you get for your first birthday?
We got an automatic ball thrower. We learned to drop the ball in by ourselves. But sometimes we like to put everything and anything in there.
Did you like answering all these questions?
Thank you for the wooftastic interview. Now throw me that ball!

I'm what you would call a super mutt! I'm a little bit of many amazing dogs, but mostly I am a Pitbull terrier, chow chow, husky mix. My human brothers call me turkey, I'm not sure why. I think they are making fun of the way I lie down while I chew my bones.
I'm 7.5 months old.
I live with my mom and dad as well as two brothers and one feline sister. My sister is one of those grouchy felines. She's a little older than I am. She is not much fun to play with, but I try every day to play with her. I'm hoping she warms up to me soon!
My family found me through an adoption agency that brings good pups like me (and my sister) to wonderful dog-loving states like Washington from overcrowded shelters in Texas. The adoption people in Texas sent me here with a fleece jacket just in case I didn't like the cold or the rain. What's not to like? The rain makes mud puddles, my favorite!
I am currently growing up here and so far, I love it! I am excited to spend years here exploring the forest and swimming in the lake.
What are some of your favorite things to do here?
I LOVE going for long walks through the tree farm, especially right now when there are lots of mud puddles for me to play in. I also really like going to the dog park to play with my sister who lives just up the street. My mommy tells me this is quite the coincidence we live so close. I think it was fate!
I am in the process of learning many new things, one of them is how to control myself when I see other doggy friends on walks. I love making new friends and playing with every doggo I meet. I am excited for the weather to get warmer so I can learn to play in the lake with my human brothers. I think I will really like swimming.
What is your favorite snack?
CHEESE CHEESE CHEESE. I will do anything my mommy asks me to for a good piece of string cheese!
Is there anything else you'd like to say?
I look forward to my many years of long walks and making friends here in Ames Lake.

we are sitting here nursing all of our no no bites - these things are worse then mosquitos!! Kyle wins with having the most and also infected bites. have them all healing well now! sure takes time to heal in the tropics!! There are a ton more kids boats and Orca III has been called the babysitting boat as all the kids end up here!! had 10 aboard yesterday.
managed to get propane organized, Malachi is bring 6 13 kilo bottles from the Island of Au Pou as there is absolutely none left here on the big main island. apparently the ship didn't show up that has the propane ( actually its butane as they don't use propane here) . there are a few happy boats waiting for Malachi to bring it. then we have to transfer to our own bottles. Life is so different!! I am now making my own yogurt cause its so expensive to buy! and have been trading with fellow cruisers as I needed dental floss and have so many toothbrushes and dried basil. thats fun trading.
shopping is fun ( being cheaky!) everything is so expensive. just discovered that 30,000 Polyenisian Franks equals $410 CDN dollars. wow that was a shocker! A box of cereal is between 600-900 Polynesian Franks. do the math, we are not buying cereal here!! thank god we are getting all the fruit for free or trade. and catching fish. forget the pork and beef ( I have found some chicken at not a bad price) any way , we are still having a good time. love seeing all the cruisers. enjoy the pictures - the free internet didn't last long , had to buy it 10hr for $66 cdn. and it can be so slow!! the things we take for granted. oh well, have been getting it free all along so it balances out.
had a great pizza dinner for my birthday , all the kids went to Tin Soldier for popcorn and movies and all the adults went for pizza. Dorothy Marie was also there. had a great time!! got some great presents, Natalie off of O'Vive does beading too. she made me a necklace ( wait till u see this) she also does rings and is teaching me how to make them. this is so long cause I keep typing waiting for the photo to post - has been 15 minutes and the picture is still not up yet. see how I mean slow. trying to post one of Kyle and Emilie. they are inseperatable will try later.
Wow....fabulous photos and such a wonderful run-down of your lives to this point. So, your Mom is out on the water in a big ship and probably not having to "rough it" at all. I'm sure she'll have a great time - can't wait to hear how it went.
Take care my beautiful Tremblays....you are missed terribly but we're all so thrilled for your wonderful experiences. Life is grand...isn't it?!!


Rural and Urban at the Same Time Moscow's population is growing almost as fast as the Russian economy. The pressure to develop potential new locations for inhabitants is increasing at the same pace. In this context, over the next 20 years »Kommunarka«, the former state agricultural combine, will be given a new, decidedly urban lease on life. The international competition for an expert report on the planning, to which AS&P submitted an entry, was won by the Rotterdam-based Maxwan offer. It proposed a master plan that took its cue from the Soviet tradition of town planning with the definition of four sub-centers in the form of four quadrants. In the subsequent planning phase, AS&P was commissioned to revise the specifications for one of the quadrants and develop realizable plans. Located directly next to one of the main traffic axes in metropolitan Moscow, the brief was to develop a polycentric city for more than 60,000 inhabitants and offering about 40,000 jobs. This Western Quadrant is made up of individual districts, each with a character of its own. The goal AS&P has championed in the competition - of an urban settlement structure with strong links to nature - is now coming into its own as the underlying planning principle, fostering a high-quality symbiosis of the new city and the surrounding countryside.

WHPUOS is an acronym for Worked Hours Per Unit Of Service —an operational efficiency statistic that expresses the relationship between worked hours and service volumes logged during a defined period of time (e.g., shift, day, per period)—and are always stated in hours or percentage of an hour. For example, a WHPUOS of 0.25 represents 25 percent of an hour. WHPUOS are not rates per hour, nor should they be confused with Workload Indicators or RVUs (relative value units). WHPUOS are a measure of labor intensity or staffing resources required per unit of service delivered. As such WHPUOS provides management with critical insight into staffing patterns, costs and variances.

Q: how can I get value of dropdownlist From MVC View to Controller for creating an entry in table of database? I am not sure how this works.
code for View is :
@model ReservationSys.Models.Confirmed

@{
    ViewBag.Title = "Create";
}

Create

@using (Html.BeginForm())
{
    @Html.AntiForgeryToken()

Confirmed

    @Html.ValidationSummary(true, "", new { @class = "text-danger" })

        @Html.LabelFor(model => model.RoomNumber, "RoomNumber", htmlAttributes: new { @class = "control-label col-md-2" })

            @Html.DropDownList("RoomNumber", null, htmlAttributes: new { @class = "form-control" })
            @Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.RoomNumber, "", new { @class = "text-danger" })

        @Html.LabelFor(model => model.ReservationId, "ReservationId", htmlAttributes: new { @class = "control-label col-md-2" })

            @Html.DropDownList("ReservationId", null, htmlAttributes: new { @class = "form-control" })
            @Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.ReservationId, "", new { @class = "text-danger" })

        @Html.LabelFor(model => model.Reservation.Customer.CustomerName, "CustomerName", htmlAttributes: new { @class = "control-label col-md-2" })

            @Html.DropDownList("CustomerName", null, htmlAttributes: new { @class = "form-control" })
            @Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.Reservation.Customer.CustomerName, "", new { @class = "text-danger" })

            <input type="submit" value="Create" class="btn btn-default" />

}

    @Html.ActionLink("Back to List", "Index")

@section Scripts {
    @Scripts.Render("~/bundles/jqueryval")
}

Similarly, code in controller to create entry in database is :
  [HttpPost]
        [ValidateAntiForgeryToken]
        public ActionResult Create([Bind(Include = "Id,RoomNumber,ReservationId")] Confirmed confirmed)
        {

            if (ModelState.IsValid)
            {

                db.Confirmeds.Add(confirmed);
                db.SaveChanges();
                return RedirectToAction("Index");
            }

            ViewBag.ReservationId = new SelectList(db.Reservations, "ReservationId", "ReservationId", confirmed.ReservationId);
            ViewBag.RoomNumber = new SelectList(db.Rooms, "RoomNumber", "RoomType", confirmed.RoomNumber);
            return View(confirmed);
        }

Can someone help me here to understand, how the selected value of dropdown is passed ?
I want to find reservation Id by using Customer Name for which I have created function like :
// get customer id using customer name that comes from dropdown list
 public  Customer GetCustomerId(string name)
        {
            Customer Customer = new Customer();
            Customer=db.Customers.Find(name);

            return Customer;
        }
        // use customer Id to get Reservation ID to enter in Reservation table of database
        public Reservation getReservationId(int id)
        {
            Reservation reservation = db.Reservations.Find(id);
            return reservation;
        }

thanks in advance.

A:
how the selected value of dropdown is passed ?

You can use asp-items,to new SelectList,it will show it's text and bind it's value to the property you want by ModelBinding.
Below is a work demo, you can refer to it.
Custom.cs:
public class Custom
    {
        public string name{ get; set; }
        public int Id { get; set; }

    }

CustomViewModel.cs:
public class CustomViewModel
    {
        public string name { get; set; }
        public List<Custom> Customlist { get; set; }
    }

In HomeContoller:
 public IActionResult Index()
        {

        var Customlist = new List<Custom>()
         {
        new Custom { name = "Khushbu",Id= 1 },
        new Custom { name = "Mohan", Id = 2 },
        new Custom { name = "John", Id = 3 },
        new Custom { name = "Martin", Id= 4 },
        new Custom { name = "Due", Id= 5 }
        };

            var model = new CustomViewModel();
            model.Customlist = Customlist;
            return View(model);
        }
        [HttpPost]
        public IActionResult GetCustomerId(string name)
        {
            return View();
        }

If you are getting data from the database, then you can bind it like below,
model.Customlist= db.Select(x => new Custom { Id = x.Id, Text = x.name }).ToList();

Index view:
@model CustomViewModel

@{
    ViewData["Title"] = " List";
}

Custom Dropdown

    <form asp-action="GetCustomerId" asp-controller="home" method="post">

                <select id="drpEmpList" class="form-control" asp-for="name" asp-items="@(new SelectList(Model.Customlist, "name","name" ))">
                    <option value="">--Select--</option>
                </select>

                <input type="submit" name="btnSubmit" value="Submit" class="btn btn-success" />

    </form>

Your employees are the people who drive your organization. They are on the front lines day in and day out, keeping the wheels of the wagon spinning. Because every person within your company serves as an important piece of the puzzle, therefore, hiring the right people can make or break your business.
We talk a lot about the importance of company culture and its effect on the customer experience. It is critical to hire people who mesh well with your current staff has similar culture and values. Consistency is key in business, and hiring a person who not only gets along with your team, but also believes in what you do is going to make the difference when it comes to the quality of their work.
Richard Branson suggests having a group interview, so that you can observe how everyone gets along. Your team is going to spend a lot of time together, so it is important to know that they get along and work well in a team environment.
Who knows your organization better than someone who is already working there? You should hire someone who you think will grow with your company. Hiring from within ensures a consistent stream of talented and capable individuals who work hard and are team players.
If you cannot hire from within, try to get referrals from team members. Chances are they know someone that could be a perfect fit. If you truly value your current employees, then you should definitely value their recommendations. Team referrals have been a great source of recruitment, here at GreenRope.
I am sure that most of us remember the days when we put together our resumes for the first of many job hunts. Throughout high school and college, we were taught that the resume is everything. But, as you grow up and venture into the real world, you realize it is not just what you know, but also who you know. (you switch from we to you here…kindof awkward). If you refer back to our first two tips, a resume does not come into play. Not to say that a resume and experience is not important, but this should only be a small piece of the puzzle.
For example, Google does not require a college degree. Why? Because they believe that you do not need a college degree to be talented or skilled at something. You should hire people who show dedication, potential, and have similar goals in mind.
Never underestimate experience, personality and tenacity. Enthusiasm and a desire to learn is more valuable than expertise and a stale disposition. Remember, this is your business, the people you hire are going to shape how customers perceive you. Build a team you want to work with.

Q: How can I merge two separate javascripts in one? How can I merge two separate javascripts in one?
I have two separate javascripts. One sends form data to post.php page without page refresh AND refreshes DIV content with (div.php) , but second disables corresponding form submit button. How can I merge this code in one? (not that I have many forms with different id's in one page).
Problem is on IE9, where this script double submits data!!!

$(function() {
  $('form').on('submit', function(e) {
    $.ajax({
      type: 'post',
      url: 'post.php',
      data: $(this).serialize(),
      success: function(returnedData) {
        $('#sidebar').load('div.php');
      }
    });
    e.preventDefault();
  });
});
$(document).ready(function() {
  $('input[type=submit]').click(function() {
    $(this).prop("disabled", true);
    $(this).val("Selected");
    $(this).closest('form').trigger('submit');
  });
});
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>

A: Remove
</script>

<script>

And you're done ;-)
I would go a bit further though:
$(document).ready(function () {
    $('form').on('submit', function (e) {
        e.preventDefault();
        $.ajax({
            type: 'post',
            url: 'post.php',
            data: $(this).serialize(),
            success: function (returnedData) {
                $('#sidebar').load('div.php');

            }
        });
        return false;
    });

    $('input[type=submit]').click(function () {
        $(this).prop("disabled", true);
        $(this).val("Selected");
        $(this).closest('form').trigger('submit');
    });
});

A: *

*To combine the two code just remove the code
});</script><script>$(document).ready(function () {

*to prevent double form submission in ie9, use return false:
$('form').on('submit', function (e) {
e.preventDefault();
$.ajax({
    type: 'post',
    url: 'post.php',
    data: $(this).serialize(),
    success: function (returnedData) {
        $('#sidebar').load('div.php');

    }
});
return false;});

Christian Fette (* 1. Februar 1895 in Bremen; † 26. Oktober 1971 in Much) war Vorsitzender des Deutschen Gewerkschaftsbunds (DGB) und Mitglied der SPD.

Leben
Fette, Sohn eines Schuhmachermeisters, lernte von 1909 bis 1913 den Beruf des Schriftsetzers. 1913 wurde er Mitglied im Verband der Deutschen Buchdrucker und trat der SPD bei. Die Teilnahme an einer Feier zum 1. Mai führte zu seiner Entlassung aus dem Ausbildungsbetrieb. Während des Ersten Weltkriegs war er Soldat. 1920 wurde er Vorsitzender des Verbandes Deutscher Buchdrucker in Bremen. 1931 ging er nach Duisburg und wurde hauptamtlicher Gewerkschafter.

Er war von 1931 bis 1933 stellvertretender Gauvorsteher des Verbands Deutscher Buchdrucker im Rheinland und in Westfalen. Unter der NS-Herrschaft wurde er mehrfach verhaftet, stand unter Polizeiaufsicht und war mehrere Jahre arbeitslos; schließlich wurde er im Verlag der Kölnischen Zeitung als Maschinensetzer beschäftigt.

Fette beteiligte sich unmittelbar nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg am Wiederaufbau der Gewerkschaften in den Westzonen. Zwischen 1946 und 1948 leitete er als Vorsitzender die Gewerkschaft Druck und Graphik Nordrhein-Westfalen. Von 1948 bis 1951 stand er der IG Druck und Papier vor.

Am 22. Juni 1951, nach dem Tod Hans Böcklers, wurde Fette neuer DGB-Vorsitzender, nicht zuletzt aufgrund der Empfehlung seines verstorbenen Freundes Böckler. Bereits ein Jahr nach Amtsantritt, am 17. Oktober 1952, musste Fette allerdings seinen Stuhl räumen – vor allem, weil er die Wiederbewaffnung und militärische und ökonomische Westanbindung der 1949 gegründeten Bundesrepublik befürwortete. Er stützte damit die Politik Konrad Adenauers. Diese Position brachte Fette in Opposition zur SPD und denjenigen Gewerkschaftsfunktionären, die eine Wiederbewaffnung ablehnten. Weiterhin beabsichtigte er, die Polizeigewerkschaft als eigene Gewerkschaft dem DGB anzugliedern. Dies hatte zur Folge, dass die ÖTV Fette bei seiner erneuten Kandidatur zum Vorsitzenden ablehnte. Ebenso scheiterte er an der großen Delegiertenzahl von IG Metall und ÖTV. Seine eigene IG Druck und Papier und andere kleinere Gewerkschaften waren zahlenmäßig unterlegen.

Von 1953 bis 1958 war er Mitarbeiter der Pressestelle der "Neuen Heimat" und ging danach in den Ruhestand.

Police Called After Chris Brown And Karrueche Have A Confrontation
Chris Brown's obsession with Karrueche will probably land him in hot soup. According to reports, Karreuche and her friend Christina Milian, were out at a club in LA and Chris Brown showed up at the club and sat right next to Karrueche's table which he'd booked, knowing where the girls will be sitting. This didn't go down well with Kae and as she left, drama ensued.
Read TMZ's report below;
An attempted reunion with Karrueche Tran last night did not end well - with the singer banging on KT's front door after she kicked him out of her SUV. We're told the drama started inside Playhouse nightclub ... when Chris got the V.I.P. table next to the one Karrueche was at. It seemed she was there because her BFF Christina Milian was the host for the night ... something Chris clearly knew. We're told KT was pissed and left the club ... and Brown followed ... eventually weaseling his way into her SUV.
Apparently Chris performed a magic show inside - because he and Karrueche left together in the same SUV, leaving the Lambo behind. But pay close attention to the end of the video. One of KT's friends asks Chris to stay out of their SUV, but he tells her ... "Move to the back" ... and hops in anyway.
A second angle shows that Chris ended up squeezing on to the same seat as Karrueche. So, the question is - did she WANT him to get in, and if NOT ... why didn't SHE get out? You'll recall ... Karrueche said she was done with Chris for good when baby Royalty hit the scene.
Our sources connected to Karrueche say KT did NOT want him inside - and dropped him off with his friends a short time later. Which is why she was even more upset when he showed up on her doorstep around 3:30 am - banging and yelling, clearly trying to get KT to open up.
Tran ultimately left her home - and went to the famous Norm's Diner. Brown showed up a short time later. Once inside, we're told they began to argue and it escalated into a full-blown shouting match. Eventually, Karrueche left the restaurant and returned home - without Chris. Bottom line - don't expect a reconciliation any time soon.
A police car pulled up outside Karrueche's house early this morning while Chris was there. Law enforcement sources tell us someone called cops to complain about the noise Chris and co. were making at her door.
We're told officers spoke to Chris and Karrueche, but there was no evidence of a crime ... so no tickets, no arrests.

FIFA President Sepp Blatter has been named as a former lover of model Irina Shayk in a bombshell story which is making headlines across the world.
Spanish daily El Mundo made the sensational claim about the roving-eyed football chief and Cristiano Ronaldo's ex girlfriend in a piece published yesterday titled 'All the women in Blatter's life.'
It declared the 79-year-old 'had a relationship' with the Russian beauty after dating tennis player Ilona Boguska but before meeting glamourous Linda Barras, 50.
El Mundo's claims about Blatter and Shayk - a guest of Prince Charles at a recent Buckingham Palace party - were being echoed across the world today.
Headlines about the supposed affair appeared on news sites as far afield as Peru, Portugal, Mexico and Vietnam as well as on social networking sites including Twitter.
A New York-based spokesman for Irina Shayk declined to comment on the allegations, but a source close to the model was quoted as saying: 'It is absolutely untrue.'

I thought stuff like this only happen in Africa. Alas i was wrong because Britain was stunned when a horrified couple found a dead baby lizard inside a can of tomatoes as they cooked lunch.
Muhammad Hussain and his wife Sanam bought the tomatoes from a local supermarket and opened the can to make the gruesome discovery.
Euro Foods, which owns the supermarket, has apologised for the couple's grim find and has launched an investigation.
Muhammad was alerted by his seven-month pregnant wife's screams as she opened the tin at their home in Birmingham.
He told the BBC: "My wife was making lunch for me and our 15-month-old son. When she opened the can, she saw something and screamed at me to come through. I saw it was a dead baby lizard.

The Bride Who Refused To Wed Until Groom Paid N1.8M For Her Boob Job
A bride-to-be refused to walk down the aisle until her future hubby coughed up the cash for a boob job.
The 29-year-old bride Meryl Clarke developed a thyroid condition that saw her losing seven stone in just six months, she was left with saggy skin which she feared would ruin her big day because her breasts looked like a flabby potato sack. So when the 29-year-old had her boyfriend Luke Clarke pop the question on New Year's Eve in 2013, she was torn.
On one hand, she could not wait to marry the man of her dreams - but on the other, she knew her body, which dropped from 20 stone to 13, would bother her.
Meryl, from Leicester, said: "When Luke proposed I was happy but I imagined I'd be walking down the aisle smiling on the outside but not on the inside.
"Even just wearing normal clothes I had to put socks in my bra and pull my tights up to my armpits and I couldn't do that in a wedding dress.
"I was left with flabs of skin hanging from my tummy, arms and legs and my boobs were like empty flaps of skin, they were awful. "I spent many days crying myself to sleep because my body was literally eating itself.
"I had the body of an old woman, my boobs were like empty flaps of skin, I looked 80 from the neck down. "I had no breast tissue and this large apron of skin, if I ran it would make a clapping sound.
Meryl planned to raise the money to pay for the operation herself but as an early wedding present for his new bride-to-be, Luke agreed to stump up the cash for a tummy tuck and surgery to take her AA boobs to a DD.
Delighted with her new dream body, Meryl finally walked down the aisle and married Luke at a ceremony in Rothley Court, Leicester, last month.

'Mariah Carey Will Soon Die Like Whitney Houston For Drug Use' Mariah's Brother Speaks Out
Mariah Carey's brother fears her drinking will kill her, claiming the star could end up like doomed singer, Whitney Houston.
Carey's brother, Morgan - who hasn't spoken to the singer in two years - fears the star is unable to care for her four-year-old twins Moroccan and Monroe because he believes she is trying to numb her problems with alcohol.
Alleging that she has been a heavy drinker since suffering from mental health problems in 2001, Morgan said: 'Mariah was drinking through her pregnancy, even while she was nursing. I can't say that I have ever been around her when she was sober, and that's very scary.' Morgan also claimed his 45-year-old sister takes a daily cocktail of medications including Zyprexa, Ativan and Depakote, and fears she will 'die like Whitney Houston'.
He added to the National Enquirer magazine:
'She does not have a support system, and she is not mentally capable.' Morgan is concerned the 'Without You' singer has 'pushed away the only people who've been trustworthy and will blame her entourage if anything does happen to her.' He said: 'If my sister turns up dead … I'm not going to look the other way! Anyone who's filling her glass is jeopardising her life!'
Mariah's brother also branded her estranged husband, Nick Cannon a 'crock of s**t' who wasn't good for his sister and was only interested in money. He said: 'Nick listened to people who said, 'Get with Mariah, she thinks you're cute, have kids and ride it to the bank.' Nick was there for the cash from day one. He doesn't give a damn about Mariah.' 'Nick took tremendous advantage of her and continues to do so.'

Father Executes Whole family, Then Self After Googling Depression And How To Slit Human Throats
A father stabbed his wife and two daughters to death after researching how to cut someone's throat - then lived with their bodies for a weekend before hanging himself, an inquest has heard. The bodies of Jitendra Lad, 49, his wife, Dukshaben Lad, 44, and their daughters, Trisha, 19, and Nisha, 16, were discovered at their home in Clayton, Bradford, last October - days after celebrating Diwali as a family.
Mr. Lad was found hanged and the three other members of the 'model' family had all been stabbed in their beds with a knife, in what a coroner described as a 'scene of unimaginable horror'.
Bradford Coroner's Court heard that Mrs. Lad, also known as Daksha, and her two daughters were probably killed in the early hours of Saturday October 25. But Mr. Lad was seen by a number of people later the same weekend and probably killed himself on the Monday afternoon, two days later, the court heard.
The hearing was told how Mr. Lad had no medical history of mental illness and relatives and friends said they appeared to be a normal, loving family.
But Detective Sergeant Duncan Jackson told the hearing in Bradford how Mr. Lad had accessed the internet on his phone in the weeks before his death to research depression and, just days before the tragedy, he searched 'how to cut someone's throat and executions'.
The hearing also heard that Mr. Lad had been stressed at work as an IT manager, and was concerned he had been overpromoted. Det. Sgt Jackson however told the court about an incident in Ibiza in August 2014 when the family was on holiday. He said a woman, Lee Cartwright, told officers about a conversation she had with Mr. Lad by a swimming pool in which he said he 'disliked his current job and wanted to do something better'. She said he went on to say how he was 'dreading turning 50', said he did not like Bradford and wanted to live abroad but had a duty of care to his mother. According to the police officer, 'Mrs. Cartwright was left with the impression Jitendra was unhappy with his life'.
Mum Whose Daughter Wanted To Look Like Barbie Makes A New Doll To Teach Her About Natural Beauty
A mum of two who was worried about her daughter's perception of beauty has taken matters into her own hands - by creating a doll that looks just like her. Angelica Sweeting and husband Jason, from Miami, produced the 'naturally perfect' Angelica Doll to reflect the appearance of their daughters, Sophia and Sydney, and they hope that it can help other families, too.
In a video on their Kickstarter page , Jason explains that the Angelica Doll was 'born out of necessity' because their four-year-old daughter, Sophia, said she was no longer happy with how she looked. Angelica said: "She wanted yellow hair and white skin. She pretty much just hated how she looked because she didn't look like the doll that she constantly sees or the characters that she constantly sees on TV."
The couple set about creating the 18-inch doll, which has natural hair, skin tone and features which truly reflect her family.
She told today.com: "There are other black dolls now but a lot of black Barbie dolls still have facial features that are Caucasian or more European and all have long straight hair even though it's black."
"She wanted to look like Barbie and she wanted hair like Elsa, long blond hair and white skin. I was really, really sad that my daughter would think that at such a young age... I knew I had to do something about it."
And it's not all about looks. The dolls will also have 'interesting careers' in 'engineering, journalism, software development, public relations, etc.' in the hope of inspiring a generation of young women to dream big.
Angelica, who left her own job to dedicate her time to this project, added that the project has given her a new perspective on her own life. She said: "Here I am - 27 years old, and I am honestly just beginning to walk into who I am, my natural beauty. "I want this to happen earlier, not only for my daughters but for your daughter, your niece, your sister, and for all young girls around the world. I want this to happen for all the young girls who never felt pretty enough because of their kinks, curls, wider noses or fuller lips.
"I'm creating Angelica to let girls know that they are beautiful. Our girls need to see a reflection of their own unique beauty. It's time for our young girls to have a new standard."

5 People Dead After Eating Dog Meat At An Eatery
5 people have been confirmed dead at Woji, Obio/Akpor Local Government Area of Rivers State, after eating dog meat from a popular Inn in the area.
The deaths have caused tension in the area as people have begun to question went people have died after eating dog meat alleged to have been cooked by one Friday Dickson, popularly called Etiaba.
Reports gathered that Etiaba owns an Inn that specializes in only dog meat in Mini-Woji Road and has owned it for a very long time.
A witness said the death of these 5 people shortly after eating the dog meat prompted an emergency meeting by the council of chiefs and elders, with a view to locating other members of the community who also ate the dog meat from the same Inn.
He said Etiaba fled the area after he learnt of the deaths.
Bruce Jenner Wanted His Oldest Daughter Aborted
In the newest issue of 'Vanity Fair,' Caitlyn admits that Bruce Jenner was married to his first wife Chrystie Crownover from 1972 to 1981, with whom he had two children, Burton and Cassandra but because things weren't going well between them, they filed for a divorce.
He said half way through the divorce, Christie told him she was pregnant with his oldest daughter Casey and because he had confused feelings about his gender, he had suggested she have an abortion. He also refused to be at her birth because he didn't want her at that time.
At first, Bruce brought up the idea of an abortion, but "rejected it after 30 seconds." He also told the July 1980 edition of Playboy that his "first reaction was that I didn't want the baby." Cassandra aka Casey, 34, told the magazine that she did not find out her father didn't want her until she was 13.
She said: 'I never knew he wasn't at my birth until I was about 13 years old and we were arguing on the phone about money,' she told the magazine. 'He kept saying, "You don't know the whole story".
'I hung up the phone and was asking my mom what he was talking about until she confessed the history behind my birth.'
'Under the circumstances I could not even see myself being there,' Jenner told the mag. In the July 1980 edition of Playboy, Jenner had admitted: 'My first reaction was that I didn't want it'.
Chrystie also confirmed at the time that she had considered an abortion, but only because her husband wanted one. This confession strained the relationship between Jenner and his daughter Casey but now things are getting better between two of them.' It's sad to hear that Bruce and Casey had a rough relationship during her upbringing, but on a positive note, Caitlyn now talks to her daughter, Casey, more than ever. "We now talk more than we ever have," Jenner told Vanity Fair. "We can just be girls together."

2019 Caribbean Premier League [Preview]
September 3, 2019 | No Comments
The 2019 Caribbean Premier League (CPL) will be played from 4th September till 12th October across six countries- Guyana, Barbados, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Jamaica, Saint Lucia, and Trinidad and Tobago. The seventh edition will see six teams fight it out for the coveted prize.
In August 2019, St Lucia Stars were terminated to participate in this year's competition. They will be replaced by St Lucia Zouks franchise.
Reigning Champions Trinbago Knight Riders will be looking to clinch the trophy for a record fourth time in the competition. Dwayne Bravo-led unit have been the most successful franchise in the history of Caribbean Premier League.

Knight Riders will be looking to make it three in a row in the seventh edition of CPL.
For Trinbago Knight Riders, Colin Munro, Darren Bravo and Kieron Pollard will be key players for the side in the batting department. The side has quality all-rounders in Dwayne Bravo and James Neesham who can provide value with the bat and ball.
Sunil Narine, Akeal Hossain and Khary Pierre are three spin option for the side for this year's tournament. Pace bowler Ali Khan was the surprise package with the ball for the franchise in the previous edition of Caribbean Premier League.
Four-time Finalists Guyana Amazon Warriors will be desperate to break their trophy drought this season. The side have been unlucky and ended up on the losing side in the finals of CPL on four occasions (2013, 2014, 2016, and 2018). Newly appointed Captain Chris Green will be determined to make sure they go the distance and win their maiden crown this season.
In the batting department, the side will be relying on the likes of Shimron Hetymer, Shoaib Malik and Nicholas Pooran to deliver the bulk of the runs. Chandrapaul Hemraj, Chris Green, Shadab khan and Sherfane Rutherford will need to deliver if Warriors aim to the coveted prize this season.

In the batting department, the side will be relying on likes of Shai Hope, Alex Hales and Johnson Charles to deliver the goods with the bat. Asif Ali and Jason Holder are players that can go score quickly and produce big shots at the back end of the innings.

css is large so i am not attaching.
Can anyone please help me.
Thanks

A: This is because you are floating the elements in the footer - when floating elements, they are taken out of the document flow, causing the parent to collapse.
To prevent this, you can either use the micro-clearfix method:
#footer:before,
#footer:after {
    content: " ";
    display: table;
}

#footer:after {
    clear: both;
}

… or use overflow: hidden; on the parent (which is simpler, but may not be applicable in all situations):
#footer {
    overflow: hidden;
}
