My Corolla is a solid car for the money. It is easy to drive, gets great gas mileage, and has held up well in small fender benders. Since the Corolla is a compact size, I never have trouble parking or parallel parking. It's easy to handle on small roads as well as highways. It's an attractive car and has enough room for passengers or dogs in the back seat. It also has a very good sized trunk. The only downside is that since I recently purchased a Camry, I've noticed how much better it performs than the Corolla... but the Corolla does it's job for the money.

Could feel the road a bit too much when driving if there were potholes. I have a Camry now and I realize how well the Camry handles, has a smoother ride, and speeds up quicker than the Corolla, but the Corolla does it's job for the money.
I really like the vehicle because it is dependable and cheap on gas. I really like the fact that it's an older car because I am able to afford the payments. I have had to replace the clutch, which was only $700 because the car is so old. I really enjoy driving this car.
I rode this car to Asheville, NC, and only spent 40 dollars on gas. I was shocked because we drove hundreds of miles, and I still was able to save so much money on gas. Once we were there, it was a very mountainous town; however, my car did fantastic on the roads. I really enjoyed having this car to get around the town, and it was very cheap on gas. It is also extremley easy to park. The car is light and easy to fit into spaces. Super easy to parrallel park.
I really like that I can afford the payments for the parts.
I don't like how small it is.
Staff was courteous. The prices were low vs. other dealerships. The discounted mechanical work was a plus. Vehicles were in great shape. Free popcorn while you wait for the service or agent to complete the deal.
Great sales guy. Fast service. No haggle. Great finance person. Total process less than 2 hours.

Many fans are treating the Vols' basketball season this year as a "once in a decade" type of opportunity. It doesn't have to be.
Georgia transfer Deangelo Gibbs started out this spring as a wide receiver, but he switched positions during practice on Tuesday.

Urban policymaking overlooking medium-sized cities, researchers warn at Habitat III
'Intermediary' cities host 70,000 new people a day, a trend expected for decades. But lawmakers have yet to fully recognize this reality.

QUITO, Ecuador — Mayors have showed up in force at this week's Habitat III summit on cities, where they have sought to send a strong message to national governments that sustainable urbanization will not take place without empowering local governments. Their main message to national governments: Work with cities.
But who exactly should national authorities be working with? Even in the rising global conversation on increased dialogue and partnership between national and local governments, much of the focus has been on cities' major contributions to national gross domestic product, or as enormous opportunities for fighting inequality and carbon pollution.
Such contextualization, however, leads to an outsize focus on the largest and most politically and economically important of cities. One widely bandied figure notes that today's 34 megacities (those with a population of over 10 million) are expected to grow to 41 by 2030.
Yet meanwhile, the number of intermediate cities also is rising — in many places, far more quickly than any other type of urban expansion. Despite their growing importance, however, these medium-sized cities have been neglected in much international analyses of urbanization to date.
That's a point that some are seeking to emphasize here this week, as nearly 50,000 people have gathered to take part in the Habitat III conference — the one time every 20 years that the world gathers to discuss its cities. The four-day summit will result in the adoption, by 193 countries, of a new strategy on how to nurture sustainable urbanization, a document called the New Urban Agenda.
"There is not enough technical and financial resources to deal with the new responsibilities. Local governments must be more empowered," said Mercè Conesa, president of Barcelona province.
Conesa spoke at the local release of a major new report that is widely seen as an international benchmark in the analysis of local and regional governments worldwide. The 4th Global Report on Local Democracy and Decentralization (GOLD IV) reflects the concerns and ideas of the United Cities and Local Governments (UCLG) network and its partners.
The 368-page document seeks to offer underlying arguments and evidence to advocate for the centrality of local and regional governments in addressing some of the most critical concerns facing the world and in supporting the New Urban Agenda.
[See: Mayors warn sustainable cities are impossible without their direct input]
"The point of the report is to encourage debate," said Edgar Pieterse, professor at the University of Cape Town, South Africa, and founding director of the African Centre for Cities. "It looks at inter-locked complexities between economic and social crises, climate change, xenophobia. It tells us to re-imagine our institutions."
70,000 a day
The GOLD IV report focuses on multiple urban scales, including metropolitan areas and territories. It focuses particular attention on what it calls intermediary cities (or i-cities), here defined as having a population of between 50,000 and 1 million people. Critically, these areas often play a primary role in connecting important rural and urban areas to basic facilities and services.
"Intermediary or secondary cities are going to be increasingly important as countries urbanize," said Ayat Soliman, a practice manager in the Middle East and North Africa with the World Bank.
The report urges policymakers at all levels to recognize that it is imperative to focus on intermediary cities. These areas will host more than 400 million new urban dwellers over the next decade and a half — more than 90 percent of them in Asia and sub-Saharan Africa. That's an increase of some 70,000 people a day.
[See: Will the liveability of intermediate cities lead to megacity problems?]
These flows thus function as key buffers in what has become one of the world's most pressing concerns — migration and refugees.
"Intermediate cities often play a gateway role in the migratory process toward metropolitan areas," the report states. "In most cases, however, the migrating population tends to remain systematically excluded from a full right to enjoy citizenship, creating pockets of concentrated poverty and triggering precarious sub-urbanization and informality in all aspects of daily economic and social activities."
Meanwhile, intermediary cities are quickly growing in economic importance, as well. In Africa, many of these medium-sized cities not only are experiencing rapid demographic growth but also the establishment of new economic activities and specialized services.
This process has led to the emergence of economic "clusters" — for instance, in Mek'ele, an intermediary city north of Addis Ababa in Ethiopia. There, a new concentration of over 250 companies is involved in the manufacturing of furniture, construction materials and agricultural machinery.
While that's a powerful engine for jobs and economic growth, analysts warn that policymakers do not yet have a good understanding of intermediary cities and these cluster arrangements outside of the metropolitan core — a major potential gap in understanding how best to guide and use a country's resources.
National urban policies
National government policy toward intermediary cities also is intimately linked to broader decentralization trends. Over the past few decades, decentralization reforms have given local authorities in intermediary cities increased responsibility for service provision and infrastructure — elements that often form the basis of local quality of life and general attractiveness to outsiders.
[See: The New Urban Agenda must recognize the importance of intermediary cities]
Nevertheless, many developing countries continue to lack enabling environments for good local government performance, the report states. Many intermediary cities are suffering increasing budgetary pressures, particularly in regions that are lagging.
Finally, one of the key priorities for the organizers of Habitat III and the subsequent implementation of the New Urban Agenda is to push national governments to work to create national urban policies. Yet while some feel optimism that this aim will gain traction in the aftermath of this week's conference, early data in this regard suggests that national urban policies will again tend toward prioritizing countries' largest cities.
"In most cases, national sectorial urban policies are primarily designed to address the problems of larger urban areas and booming economic regions, and to strengthen their competitiveness," the report warns. "Beyond the few exceptions … NUPs tend not to consider systematically the specific issues facing i-cities and smaller municipalities."
Despite the vast majority of urban growth in coming years expected in Africa and Asia, the researchers found that only Europe has any tradition of "associating urban policies and territorial cohesion with specific programmes that try to build on the role of intermediary or mid and small-sized cities."

Chia milk recipe a easy and tasty drink you can have.Thick and creamy chia milk with vanilla flavour.I bloomed chia seeds to try few recipes and my first try was this chia milk, you wont believe I just had a sip, that's all the kids loved it so much.
To a mixing bowl add milk(boiled,cooled and chilled), add bloomed chia seeds.You can add raw chia seeds too.
Add vanilla essence and milk powder to it.
Add cinnamon powder and honey.
Blend for few seconds.Serve chilled!
You can use chilled milk or chill it after making and serve it chilled.
You can replcae milk with nut milk or coconut milk too.
You can replace honey with any of your favorite sweetner.
a while then add and blend the ingredients.Serve immediately.
I had bloomed chia seeds so used that, you can use raw chia seeds as such too.You can plus or minus the quantity of chia seeds according to your preference.
You can use a mixer jar to blend too but use pulse option and pulse for just few times, that enough.
If you like cinnamon flavour add more.
You can use chilled milk or chill it after making and serve it chilled with a sprinkle of cinnamon powder…yum!

Q: Import a complete image folder with Vite I'm starting to work with vite.js and I use a plugin to "optimize" the size images. But for this I have to import the images I use in the project one by one...
Is there any way to import a whole folder (all the images simultaneously) in vite.js??
Thanks
I thought that doing import "assets/*" could work .
But I don't know the way for doing this...

A: I'm not sure what plugin you're referring to, however, I hope this tip points you in the right direction as the question is titled "Import a complete image folder with vite".
This is how I would import/export all images from an /assets folder:
Say you have a setup with images like:
.
├── src
├──└── assets
├────└── image1.png
├────└── image2.png
└── [...]

Add an index.js within the /assets folder:
import image1 from './image1.png';
import image2 from './image2.png';

export { image1, image2 };

Then, within your project, you can use the images like so (example in the App.jsx file):
import { image1, image2 } from '../assets';

const App = () => {
  return (

  );
};

export default App

Again, I'm not 100% sure about your issue exactly because I'm not sure what plugin you're referring to and/or what exactly you're trying to do. Nonetheless, hope this helps in some way. If not, please provide more info, code snippets, and any possible additional information that could aid someone in pointing you in the right direction. :)

In the first Raptors-Warriors matchup this season, Kevin Durant exploded for 51 points on 18-of-31 shooting.
KD has a points prop bet tonight of over/under 27.5 points, and I looked at whether Kawhi Leonard, Pascal Siakam and Co. can slow him down.
The Raptors take on the Warriors in a matchup of the best team in the league (record-wise) vs. the defending champions (and the presumptive best team in the league) Wednesday.
Are the Raptors a paper tiger again? Are they ready to beat a fully-operational Warriors team? Will the Warriors kick off the kind of run we've been waiting on from them? Is this a Finals matchup?
Can Kevin Durant hit the over on 27.5 points scoring vs. the Raptors?
Durant scored 51 points on 31 shots first time out vs. the Raptors, but, of course, Stephen Curry wasn't playing in that game. It was a phenomenal performance.
What's shocking, though, is how much the matchup makes me lean towards the under.
Durant scored 21 points on 11 field goal attempts in 46 possessions with Leonard defending him in their first matchup this season.
That means, despite covering him the majority of the time, Durant generated only a third of his shots vs. Leonard.
Going back and watching the film, there were a lot of possessions where Durant simply didn't challenge Leonard. That's typical; teams often try and simply remove Leonard from the sequence by stationing his man in the corner, as his help defense winds up mucking up so much.
That possession led to Durant rushing several similar shots later.
Twenty-one points is still a lot, and doing it on 11 shots is great efficiency. But usage has to be considered here.
That's what it takes for Durant to get to 21 points vs. Leonard.
Meanwhile, the other Raptors had mixed success. Basically, this group should be broken down into Pascal Siakam and everyone else. Per NBA's matchup data, Durant generated only eight points on 18 possessions on 3-of-10 shooting with Siakam guarding him.
Do you know how damn hard it is to block Kevin Durant? Because I don't; there's no conceivable universe where I could get even remotely high enough to do so!
But even for NBA players, it's remarkably difficult. Those two shots highlighted were the only two blocks recorded on Durant this game, but Siakam was able to force adjustments or misses with the same kind of presence. Making Durant into a normal NBA player that has to be worried about being blocked shaves some of his efficiency off.
The other big issue was that late in the game when the Warriors staged a comeback, they went to the well vs. the Raptors' switching defense.
Toronto will hide Kyle Lowry on Andre Iguodala (who is out tonight, by the way) vs. the Warriors, which is a great idea as it keeps Leonard, Siakam and Danny Green on Curry, Klay Thompson and Durant at all times.
But if you go to a switch, and Durant senses it — guess what? Iguodala's going to screen.
Nothing to be done there.
Durant's going to get his, but the overall evidence shows that Leonard and Siakam have the ability to disrupt him.


Why Armor of God Was Created – Armor of God Apparel L.L.C.
The fitness and health industry is quickly becoming a mecca for consumer spending. The question to ask though is have we started to see an unintended consequence from this industry? That unintended consequence is vanity. One could argue that health and fitness coupled with social media has turned us into a world of self promoters at all cost.
If you have spent any amount of time on social media (or in public) you have likely seen women whose bodies are hardly covered up by their clothing or men who chose to wear clothing that display expletives, derogatory or often degrading statements. What makes people feel the need to display themselves so outlandishly?
The hope would be that people wouldn't take provocative pictures or wear such inconsiderate or degrading statements unless they had a really good reason, right? Well as it turns out, the popularity of the notion that having your photo "Liked" or your social media account followed could potentially lead to some sort of internet fame or wealth. The question to be asked is: At what cost?
I don't believe that social media users truly understand the permanent consequences their actions have on their lives. Once you release a photo on any social media platform, you no longer have control over that photo, who sees it, or how it gets distributed. You could be saying, "So what?", right? I suppose so. However, I would highly encourage social media users to anticipate their futures and how those photos may impact them. The consequences could be a loss of job, loss of relationship or long-term regret and embarrassment.
What if health/ fitness minded consumers could be provided a product that was motivational, encouraging and perhaps even engaged followers positively, appropriately and in a Godly manner?
Enter- Amor of God Apparel L.L.C. - Our brand focuses on providing an active wear alternative that is comfortable and well fitted while still maintaining a posture that represents its customers in a sophisticated and well respected light.
Armor of God comes from the Bible (Ephesians 6:13-18) where the message is to cloth yourself in truth, righteousness, readiness, faith and salvation. Imagine equipping yourself with that kind of righteous empowerment. It's in the Bible, read for yourself!
With that being said; our aim and our mission is to provide customers encouragement, motivation and the word of God that they can literally and figuratively equip themselves with by wearing.
Have you ever driven down the road and seen a piece of scripture or a Bible verse somewhere and wondered if it was meant for you? Have you ever seen a Bible verse and taken time to look up that particular verse and realized that it was exactly what you needed to hear? What if you could be the person to provide that to somebody else just because you chose to outwardly represent your faith in God?
Armor of God is much more than an apparel brand. It is a mission designed to spread the word of God while motivating and encouraging others. It is an outward representation of an inward lifestyle.
One of the most wonderful feelings I have experienced personally was walking through the airport and observed people reading my (Phillipian) shirt. I begin to smile while thinking, "You just read scripture. If nothing else happened today, you were exposed to one Bible verse." Who knows what kind of biblical curiosity that might insight. I immediately became excited at the opportunity to be able to spread the word of God just by wearing what I wanted others to know I represent.
It was also such a rewarding experience when I was approached by people who not only said they liked my shirt but also commented on how much they enjoyed that particular piece of scripture. I didn't even anticipate the connections that were possible just by outwardly wearing your faith.
It is my hope that my customers get to enjoy not only the product but the experience of wearing your faith! God Bless!

Dr Dennis P. Scanlon on Scaling Value-Based Pilots Across the Country
Conference|Accountable Care Delivery Congress
Dennis P. Scanlon, PhD, professor, Health Policy and Administration, and director, Center for Health Care and Policy Research, Pennsylvania State University, discusses how well the United States health system scales successful pilots in delivering value-based care across the country.
When there are successful pilots in delivering value-based care, how well does the United States health system scale these pilots across country?
There have been many pilots in terms of attempting to sort of incorporate value into cared delivery, which of course I would define as better aligning the way care is provided with the payment system. To answer the question, I don't think we've really gotten to scale yet. I think these have remained pilots. I think, probably, the scale that's happened has happened within organizations and scaling across organizations, so taking programs that they've done and branching them out into multiple ambulatory clinics or other acute care hospitals or integrating across their system. I think less so, broadly speaking, across the market or across the country.
You know, that's not to say that there aren't some examples. But, I think one of the big barriers frankly, and as was talked about in this meeting is, that we're still largely in a discounted fee for service-based payment arrangement, so there really isn't the incentive to scale these things as much as maybe some people had hoped. I think a lot of the organizations that are doing work in this, the delivery systems that are doing work, are ones that are making a bet, forward thinking, that this is the way the payment landscape is really going to go and that its worth going down this path. In fact, I've talked to some who have said, "we know what we're doing is losing money or at least not covering the investment that were making, but we believe that it's worth kind of getting experience with these programs now, these pilots now, because it will pay off in the future."
So again, to go back to the question, I don't think we've had nearly the level of scale that was envisioned by CMS, by many others, as we talked about expectations for value-based payment models. It's sort of that thing that everybody seems to be involved in, but it hasn't grown quite at the rate that we expected it to be.

Sanctuary c. 1908
For many, the 1867 Sanctuary at Ewing is a familiar and beloved community landmark, standing tall at "the bend in Scotch Road" in the heart of the Township. For some, it is the place where many of life's milestones have been marked.
For others, it has been an active, living house of worship surrounded by sacred ground marking those who have gone before. For still others, it is a historic architectural and cultural gem that is the cornerstone of an equally historic three century old cemetery including the graves of 39 Revolutionary War veterans within the crossroads of the American Revolution.
And although the 1867 Sanctuary has now taken on a new life as an arts and cultural center for the region, it still embodies a rich history, which we are pleased to share.
The current stone building is the fourth building built for worship by the First Presbyterian Church of Ewing, the congregation which has continually occupied this site since 1709. The tradition is that a log cabin was built on the site in 1712. It was replaced with a second, wood-frame building in 1726, then with a brick building completed in 1797 and remodeled in 1839. The present stone building was constructed in 1867 to accommodate a growing congregation in the still rural township. Although some minor modifications have been made to the building in the past 150 years, it is largely unchanged.
Sanctuary with Original Steeple, Before 1896 Storm
Built of large, uncoursed local brownstone, this handsome and generally well preserved building is one of New Jersey's few Romanesque Revival church sanctuaries. Its original steeple, significantly taller than the current one, made the building capable of being seen for miles around in the then-rural landscape. Although the building has a gothic appearance at first glance with its tall and narrow stained-glass windows, tower and pinnacled buttresses, the round-arched window shapes and arcaded corbels represent the earlier medieval style – the Romanesque. Its "Romanesque Revival" style, designed by Philadelphia architect James C. Sidney, was a popular alternative to the Gothic Revival style in the 1850s and 1860s.
The side elevations are 6 bays with flat buttresses between tall round-arched stained-glass windows. The original, pastel-colored glass windows can still be seen on the front facade of the building, on either side of the entrance, and above the door. Twelve stained glass windows in the nave and narthex (lobby) were replaced for the building's centennial in 1967 with stained and painted glass windows from the Willet Co. in Philadelphia. These windows depict the history of the Christian church from the calling of the disciples to the founding of the Ewing Presbyterian Church congregation in 1709.
The original interior of the Sanctuary boasted stenciled walls, pastel stained glass windows, kerosene lamps, a single, central pulpit on a raised chancel with a central arch behind, solid pews, and soon a pipe organ. The Sanctuary was dedicated on November 20, 1867, with Reverend John Hall of the Trenton Presbyterian Church preaching. The cost of the new, state-of-the-art building? $21,609.70.
Relatively few modifications have been made to the building since 1867. Those that have been made include:
1880s: Addition of heat in the building, a gift of Mrs. Harvey Fisk
1896: Replacement of original steeple after toppling in "violent wind storm" (tornado?)
Mid 1940s: Dirt basement floor dug out by youth choir members for choir rooms
1951: Organ moved from front to balcony. Chancel divided into two, to accommodate a pulpit and a lectern
1983: Sanctuary refurbished, including carpeting and painting
1989: Air conditioning added to Sanctuary
1990: Exterior ramp added and pews removed to accommodate wheelchair access. First floor restroom added.
1994: Solid (red) front doors replaced with glass-paneled doors
Modifications made since Preservation New Jersey took responsibility for the building, and with the approval of the Presbytery of New Brunswick (the "landlord"), include:
2014: Installation of life-safety equipment, such as LED emergency lights and exit signs, and fire detection equipment
2014: Repair of rotted window sills and wainscotting in the nave
2014: Repair of spalling (flaking) brownstone at the entrance
2015: Removal of two rows of pews each, in the front and in the back, to accommodate performers and/or flexible seating arrangements in the front, and hospitality and operations activities in the back.
2015: Removal of the built-in lectern and pulpit from 1951, to open up the access to and visibility of the chancel/stage area.
2015: Some carpeting replaced with wood flooring.
We are honored and pleased to be a part of the history of this magnificent building, and hope that YOU will become a part of that history as well!

ClassDojo recently released a free mobile (iOS/Android) app for sending text messages to parents, Messenger. However, they just released their first big update for their widely successful app, Voice Notes. Voice Notes allows educators to send a quick audio note to parents to let them know how their child is doing.
Teachers will now be able to instantly send home voice notes to parents using ClassDojo Messenger. Recording a quick voice note can be even easier than typing a message, and will only help strengthen the relationship between school and home. Voice Notes can be sent either as a broadcast to all parents, or privately to an individual parent.
The biggest reason Voice Notes are important is one that teachers know very well: relationships with students and their parents need a very human touch. When parents hear the empathy, passion and excitement in a teacher's voice, much stronger bonds can form!


By chance, two of the most famous 1950s plays are in the news again. John Osborne's historic rant, Look Back in Anger (1956), has been successfully revived on Broadway, while Terence Rattigan's emotionally taut piece, The Deep Blue Sea (1952), has been filmed by another Terence – Davies, that is. In their day, Osborne railed against the 'porcelain plates [of] the well-set table of British theatre'(John Lahr in the New Yorker), his arrows directed at the likes of Noël Coward and Rattigan, who in their turn were less than excited by Osborne's class-based invective. It's now at least arguable that Rattigan has outlasted Osborne; he has clearly been more frequently revived on stage – and on film and television – than his vituperative contemporary. Who now, I wonder, would rather watch or listen to Look Back than The Winslow Boy?
One of the great women's roles in twentieth-century British theatre is surely that of suicidally inclined Hester Collyer in The Deep Blue Sea. First created in London by Peggy Ashcroft, she was succeeded by Googie Withers, who then played the role unforgettably in Melbourne in 1955, opposite husband John McCallum as Freddie, her emotionally stunted lover. In 1994, film director Karel Reisz guided Penelope Wilton through a stage production, subsequently recorded on television. Hester offers rewarding scope to an actress of intelligence and passion, and Davies has found another such in Rachel Weisz, who brings to the role a depth of pain that eluded Vivien Leigh in the 1955 film version.
In bringing this lacerating story of a messy relationship to the screen again, Davies has made his first fiction film since the comparably harrowing The House of Mirth (2000), and his finest since Distant Voices, Still Lives (1988). The latter comes to mind here because of the images and prevailing atmosphere of postwar shabbiness in a Britain stumbling towards renewal, but people and their unequal passions don't date, and this is a matter that Rattigan frequently returned to in plays such as The Browning Version (1948) and Separate Tables (1954). In The Deep Blue Sea he reputedly drew on a doomed homosexual relationship of his own.
The new film takes place within the course of one day. It opens with Hester's attempted suicide, gas oozing into her shabby flat, and memories of her fateful meeting with Freddie (Tom Hiddleston) at the Sunningdale Golf Club while married to judge Sir William Collyer (an impeccable Simon Russell Beale). In her seemingly random recollections as she is losing consciousness, filmed in very fluid camera and editing moves, Davies, screenwriter as well as director, establishes economically the contrasts between Hester's meetings with Freddie, with their moments of sexual abandon, and her chaste scenes with Collyer as they sit at table, flanking his formidable mother on one occasion.
Structurally, the film recalls the way The Iron Lady moved between Mrs Thatcher's demented present and memories of a more potent past. Davies has trusted his collaborators, especially his three leading actors, but also his cinematographer and production and costume designers, to create Hester's bleak present and the past in which her unequal marriage to Collyer and unequal affair with Freddie are brought vividly to life. There is a sequence of entwined naked limbs, filmed with sensuous elegance, which would have been unthinkable in the 1955 film. (It has even been suggested that a coupling of this sort would have been unlikely in Britain because of the unavailability of central heating.) The scenes outside the shabby flat where Hester and Freddie have been living together don't come under the usual heading of 'opening up' when the filming of single-set plays is concerned, but are the result of Hester's attempts to summon up those episodes in her life that have brought her to the point of turning on the gas.
For the most part, and as a by-product of these memory inserts, the film avoids the static quality of the play's long dialogue exchanges. In fact, the play now seems curiously flat on the page as one duologue follows another. Because of the film's greater mobility in time and space, the rare occasions when, say, Hester and Collyer or Hester and Freddie try to talk through their situation are accorded real prominence, and Davies allows his camera to stay unfussily on them. Two important additions to the play's cast are those of Collyer's frosty, patronising mother and Hester's father, a benignly conventional vicar. Played by Barbara Jefford and Oliver Ford Davies, these two parents offer insights into the ways in which their offspring have been emotionally imprisoned, just as the experience of the war has left Freddie in a state of raffish and RAFish immaturity.
Sharply evoking place and period (London round 1950), this superbly acted film exerts the power to move even a calloused modern audience with its take on unrequited love.
The Deep Blue Sea (M), written by Terence Rattigan, directed by Terence Davies. 99 minutes. Released in Australia on 12 April.

Issue of Europe runs like 'fault line through Conservative Party'
From Thatcher and Major to Cameron and May, Conservative Party has had uneasy relationship with the continent.
by Alasdair Soussi
19 Apr 2019 09:55 GMT
October 1985: British prime minister Margaret Thatcher looking pensive at the Conservative Party Conference in Blackpool, England [Hulton Archive/Getty Images]
It was October 30, 1990, and Margaret Thatcher was on her feet at the despatch box of the United Kingdom's House of Commons.
Directly responding to calls from then-European Commission president Jacques Delors for greater central control in Europe, she roared, "No! No! No!".
The UK prime minister's trademark defiance came against the backdrop of increasing divisions within her Conservative Party over the thorny issue of Europe. Weeks later, the so-called "Iron Lady" of British politics would be forced from power after 11 dominant years.
Fast forward nearly three decades, and Prime Minister Theresa May is the embattled UK leader presiding over a Conservative Party rife with European divisions.
But, unlike Thatcher, May is currently trying to steer her nation out of the European Union (EU) itself.
For many observers, Brexit - the proposed withdrawal of the UK from the EU - is the culmination of decades of bitter disputes over Europe that have afflicted the Conservative Party.
Indeed, the UK's decision to leave the EU in a 2016 referendum may have signalled a direction of travel. But like Conservative premiers of the past, the current occupant of 10 Downing Street remains a hostage to European affairs.
From the moment two-time prime minister Winston Churchill (1940 - 1945 and 1951 - 1955) spoke passionately of a "United States of Europe" in 1946, Churchill's Conservative Party has had an uneasy relationship with the continent.
Tim Bale, professor of politics at Queen Mary University of London, said that by the time Thatcher became premier in 1979, she "was already beginning to cool on Europe".
"She had some big battles … over the UK's claim that it was systematically disadvantaged by the way [the then-European Economic Community's] finances worked," he told Al Jazeera. "She won those battles, but at the cost of legitimising some very Eurosceptic rhetoric, which was only ramped up further by her opposition to the single currency."
Thatcher had campaigned for the UK to remain in the European Economic Community (EEC) in the referendum of 1975 after it had joined two years earlier. But after years as prime minister, her patience with Europe was wearing thin.
In 1988, she delighted the Eurosceptic wing of her party when she declared in Bruges: "We have not successfully rolled back the frontiers of the state in Britain, only to see them reimposed at a European level, with a European super-state exercising a new dominance from Brussels."
Such rhetoric dismayed Conservative Europhiles. Two years later, Thatcher was propelled towards the exit door by the party's pro-Europeans and Conservative members of parliament [MPs] who believed that she had now become an electoral liability.
The issue of Europe has run like a faultline through the Conservative Party for more than 40 years.
Rosa Prince, author
Next in the Conservative firing line came John Major.
The mild-mannered prime minister spent seven years at the head of government only to lose to Tony Blair's resurgent Labour Party in 1997.
The intervening years, however, saw Major fight off Conservative rebels and engage in battle with them over the 1992 signing of the Maastricht Treaty, which led to closer European integration and the birth of the EU.
Major's heavy defeat to Blair saw the Conservatives serve in opposition party for 13 years.
But according to one former party politician, the period outside government saw "Eurosceptisim [in the Conservatives] gather pace".
"At that stage, I don't know whether most of the [Conservative] membership would have been for leaving [the EU]," Paul Goodman, a Conservative MP from 2001 to 2010, told Al Jazeera. "But more MPs were coming round, I think, to that point of view."
Goodman, who voted to for Britain to leave the EU in the 2016 Brexit poll, said the years leading up to David Cameron's Conservative premiership in 2010 and the referendum itself were "a journey, not a single event" for anti-Europeans in the Conservative Party.
In a bold move to shoot the Eurosceptic fox in his party and to stem the rise of the radical right-wing and anti-EU United Kingdom Independence Party (UKIP), Cameron followed through on a 2015 electoral promise to hold an in-or-out-out EU referendum.
Despite advocating a "remain" vote, Cameron's plan backfired, and he resigned following the UK's decision to leave.
May, who assumed power from Cameron in 2016, was a quiet "remainer" who saw her task as carrying out the will of the people.
But after nearly three years at the helm, she today cuts a forlorn, if defiant, figure as she tries to grapple with the twin issues of EU withdrawal and Conservative Party infighting.
"The issue of Europe has run like a faultline through the Conservative Party for more than 40 years," Rosa Prince, author of the biography, Theresa May: The Enigmatic Prime Minister, told Al Jazeera.
"Theresa May had hoped to succeed where other leaders had failed, calculating that she could keep the party together partly by bending over backwards to appease the Eurosceptics who had felt largely ignored by previous Conservative prime ministers."

May's EU withdrawal agreement is strongly opposed by hard Brexiteers in the party, who contend that her deal is not the clean-break Brexit for which the electorate had wished. The agreement has been voted down three times in the House of Commons, and the original EU departure deadline of March 29 has come and gone.
May has even faced, and survived, a vote of no confidence by her own party.
In March, however, she caved in to repeated demands for her to step down by announcing that she would leave office after her Brexit deal was passed by parliament. After her statement, British press headlines declared the downfall of yet another Conservative prime minister over Europe.
EU leaders recently agreed to delay Brexit until October 31.
May is now seeking a compromise with the opposition Labour leader, Jeremy Corbyn, in order to end the Brexit impasse and reach a deal that parliament will endorse, while keeping her own negotiated deal on the table at the same time.
As the Conservatives remain heavily split between Brexiteers and "remainers", some high-profile Conservative politicians are fearing for the future of their party.
"The prime minister is working on the basis - as she has been for the better part of two months - that one more push will get her deal over the line," said a pro-EU Conservative peer from the House of Lords, who spoke to Al Jazeera on the condition of anonymity.
"And the greater the fear on [the hard Brexiteer side] - namely of never getting out [of the EU] - the more likely it will be that they will accept her deal, suboptimal though they may consider it. It's a grinding strategy that will destroy the Conservative party in the process."

Yuccan Eat It, If You Wish
Home / Entomology / Blogs / Yucca
Xiaomin Zhou
While exploring Lankester Botanical Gardens, we came across a Yucca tree. Yucca is a genus in the Asparagaceae family, comprising an estimated 50 species. Yucca is native throughout Central America and in parts of South America. Due to its high adaptability, yuccas are often spotted in diverse climatic and ecological conditions. Its most notable characteristics are the branching blade-like leaves and when in bloom and assortment of white flowers. The assembly of the leaves creates a canal system for water to travel to the roots for storage. Most species also encompass a dense, waxy coating that assists in preventing water loss.
Yuccas are typically cultivated as garden and even architectural plants. The yucca flower is the national flower of El Salvador and it is often brought to cemeteries. Many parts of the yucca are edible, from the seeds to the flowers. In Costa Rica, for instance, the flowers are cooked with eggs for a traditional dish, especially during Holy Week and Easter. In Native American cultures, the roots of the Yucca elata, also known as the soaptree, are used as a shampooing agent. In other cultures, dried yucca leaves serve as a handy apparatus to start fires. Just as there are a wide variety of species in this genus, there is an equal diversity of uses by different cultures.

"Joe" Leyendecker received his first magazine cover commission shortly after he opened his studio in New York in 1899. The piece was requested by the Curtis Publishing Company of Philadelphia, which owned The Saturday Evening Post. JL's illustration work appeared on the cover of The Post's May 1899 issue. Over the next forty-four years, JL produced nearly 400 more magazine covers, including 321 for The Post.
In 1901, JL was approached by a handsome Canadian teenager named Charles Beach. Beach was, it seems, seeking work as a model. Needing one, Joe gave him a job. Four years later, when Cluett, Peabody & Company of Troy, New York selected JL to create illustrations for an ad campaign to promote its shirts and collars. JL began transforming handsome Charles Beach, dressed in stylish Cluett shirts and Arrow collars, into the paradigm of the well-dressed American male. The ads, which featured Beach looking sharp and commanding in places where the best people gathered, created a fashion sensation. The god-like "Arrow Collar Man" reportedly received baskets of mail including several proposals of marriage. No marriage was forthcoming, however, because Joe and Charles were by then an item.
When this ad appeared the post-WWI party remembered as the Roaring Twenties was halfway over. Beach was as handsome as ever, and Flappers were flapping themselves to exhaustion. JL's image insinuates the ennui that was setting in in however. While he sizes up the crowd and identifies his next pigeon she tries to locate someone who admires her. The clock was ticking for these two beautiful people and everyone like them.

A Philippine radio talk-show host was shot dead in Manila on Thursday, and police said they were investigating if the attack was linked to her show, which airs public complaints about the government's performance.
Maria Len Flores Somera, 44, was shot in the back of the head while walking to a bus stop. She died on the way to hospital, police spokesman Agrimero Cruz told reporters.
The Philippines is ranked as one of the world's most dangerous places for journalists, with murders quite common. Somera was the third journalist killed so far this year.
"We're still trying to establish the motive for the attack," Cruz said, adding Somera was also the head of a neighbourhood association that was involved in a land dispute.
"The killing could also be work-related." The lone gunman escaped on foot, threatening to shoot people if they tried to stop him, Cruz said, quoting witnesses.
Callers to Somera's show would complain about public services, and she would then help put them in touch with officials. She herself often criticised officials for negligence or incompetence.
The National Union of Journalists in the Philippines, in a statement, said Somera was the fourth since President Benigno Aquino took office in mid-2010, if her death is proven to be related to her work.
According to data from the International Press Institute, a total of 98 journalists have been killed in the Philippines since 2000 due to their jobs.
That tally includes at least 33 killed in a massacre of 57 people in the southern Philippines in November 2009, which the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) says is the single deadliest event for journalists.

A Chrome User's Guide for Switching to Firefox
With Google making major moves against ad blockers, users concerned about privacy and corporate overreach should give Firefox a serious look. The open-source browser, built by a non-profit dedicated to freedom on the Web, is a major upgrade from Google Chrome, in terms of security, privacy, and usability. If you want to move from Google Chrome to Firefox, here's our guide to switching browsers.
What the Difference?
Firefox is an open-source browser designed for everyone, from power users to your grandma. The Mozilla Foundation, which runs Firefox's development, is dedicated to providing an alternative to the telemetrics and analytics of the modern-day Internet. Their goal with Firefox has always been to provide a private, secure, and usable browser with wide post-install configuration options for a huge variety of deployments and uses.
For the standard user, most upgrades to security and privacy come free. By switching your browser to Firefox (and your search engine to DuckDuckGo), you can evade Google's most invasive surveillance operations. If you want to start breaking away from the Google Mothership, switching to Firefox is a great start. Your browsing experience should be similar to Chrome's but with fewer eyeballs perched over your shoulder.
Extensions and Add-ons
One of the largest adjustments coming to Firefox is the more limited add-on ecosystem. Google Chrome enjoys its position as the presently undisputed top dog in the world of Internet browsers, so the Chrome Store is packed to the gills with extensions of all shapes and sizes. With a smaller (but more enthusiastic) userbase, Firefox can offer a respectable, but not overwhelmingly huge, addon library. Of course, the major hits, like Ad Block Plus and UBlock Origin, are available on all platforms. Before you make the switch to Firefox, we recommend confirming that you can find all of your mission-critical extensions in the Firefox Addon library. If not, you might be able to find a functional replacement.
Importing Browser Data from Chrome
The easiest way to switch browsers is to import. This grabs browsing data from your other browsers and ingests it into Firefox. Right now, Firefox can import cookies and bookmarks from Google Chrome. The other data types are either stored in a format that Firefox can't interpret or their code is incompatible, as in the case of addons. But this will provide a leg up in your transitioning experience.
1. Select "File -> Import from Another Browser …" from the Firefox menu bar.
2. Choose "Chrome" from the list. Make sure you've quit Chrome before proceeding.
3. Select the user you want to import. If you're not sure, "First user" is typically the best option.
4. Check "Cookies" and "Bookmarks" to important both, then click "Continue" to import the data.
Syncing Across Devices
Google Chrome's fluid sync process is one of its best features. It syncs your browser data behind the scenes through your Google account, which is hyper-convenient but hyper-invasive. Firefox uses Firefox Sync to share data between devices, using unique a account and passphrase. Sync items are encrypted with this password and cannot be viewed by anyone without the password, including the folks that run Mozilla's servers. You won't find that kind of assurance from Google.
Conclusion: Customize the Look and Feel
Like Chrome, Firefox has a number of makeover options for users. While truly dedicated users can modify the browser's total appearance through userChrome.css, great results can also be found in the Themes store. Connected with the Addon store, the themes provide a total transformation for your browser. Just like Chrome's themes, a small number are good and a large number are horrible. To make Firefox more comfortable, try out some Google-Chrome-styled themes.

Q: Increment SQL result[0] in Node JS for loop main.con.query('SELECT name_ru AS catname FROM category', (err, resultsp) => {
      for(var i = 0; i <= 3; i++) {
        console.log(resultsp[i].catname);
        }
    });

I need to get all results one by one. If I do resultsp[0] it works, it is giving SQL query result in JSON format outside of for loop. But it is not working with incrementing i
Cannot read property 'catname' of undefined

A: For this error i write this link and ReferenceError: "x" is not defined, You may have used this variable instead of having it defined or quantified. It may not even have anything to do with this piece of code. change your code, The loop size may be greater than the length of the result array
main.con.query('SELECT name_ru as catname FROM category', (err, resultsp) => {
      for(var i = 0; i < resultsp.length; i++) {
        console.log(resultsp[i].catname);
        }

Car Hire Rostock
Hertz at Rostock
Rostock is a large city in Northern Germany, close to the Baltic Sea. It is famous for its shipbuilding industry, and for its university. Like many Germany citys, there is some amazing architecture in Rostock, including the Town Hall, which was built in the 13th century, and several very old churches. If you're planning on seeing all the sights this city has to offer, then car hire is recommended. Rostock also has a lively music scene, and there's a jazz festival there in June every year. The city hosts an annual sailing festival, a spectacle which attracts over a million visitors. Hiring a car from Rostock is a great way to see the sights, including the dramatic Baltic Sea.
Rostock has a lot of attractions, particularly for history lovers. There is the Museum of Cultural History, as well as the Warmemünde Local History Museum, which exhibits artefacts to do with the general local history. If you hire a car from Rostock and drive down to the docks, you can see the Shipbuilding and Shipping Museum.The city also has a lot of sports venues, with football, volleyball, handball, basketball, hockey and water polo being particularly popular. Hiring a car in Rostock give you much more opportunity and freedom when it comes to what attractions you visit. Rent a car in Rostock and visit the Zoo, this is an amazing day out and contains over 300 species of animals from around the world.
Rostock is connected to Hamburg, Berlin and the Polish city of Stettin by Autobahn, so if you hire a car from Rostock then it's easy to go for a day out in any one of these beautiful cities.

If you're going to use Google Webmaster Tools / Search Console effectively, you need to know how to interpret the reports.
Specifically, you need to know what reports show problems needing attention, and what reports advise us of problems avoided.
Representing the latter, we have a message in the list of URLs restricted by robots.txt, which can be found from a link in "Overview", or from "Diagnostics" - "Web Crawl". Recently, we see email from the Search Console team.
Note the carefully worded advice.
This means that Index coverage may be negatively affected in Google search results.
With a Blogger blog, "may be" should be "actually, is not".
This list, when run against a blog which has a lot of labels, will be rather long. This will cause panic in the hearts of many. Fortunately, this is unnecessary panic.
This shows us a label search that is blocked, intentionally by Blogger, so the search engines won't follow it.
Were the search engines to index a label search, they would be indexing the same posts in the blog, that they find from the sitemap. They would then penalise both the sitemap indexed content - and the label search indexed content - in their indexing, for "duplicate content".
With "duplicate content" penalties applied, your posts appear lower in the search results - and your blog gets less new visitors.
So, when you see "... /search/label/ ... URL restricted by robots.txt" in your access report, don't panic. This restriction is to your advantage.
Oh My Gosh, thank you so much for your help. You have been the only one that I found that was able to answer this issue and responded so quickly.
Thank you it'really helpful..I was very nervous that this might cause of limit indexing and dropped traffic.
So, this means that it is okay if there's crawler errors regarding to /search/label?
and this contained in robots.txt is normal?
See What's In My "robots.txt" File?.
"Disallow: /search" line in default robot.txt is doing this trick.
Excellent information...i wish I would understand better SEO...but I seem to get along better with food...yall invited to visit me.
I'm still a little confused. I thought that the tags were good and helped the Goolgle bots to categorize your post, so why would they then be blocked?
When you setup a sitemap for your blog, the posts are indexed as the sitemap is processed. Indexing the posts by tag / label would give the same posts, that are already indexed through the sitemap. The search engines would see this as duplicate content.
Thanks for explaining that. I had no clue what to do. Now I know...nothing.
Knowing that you know ...nothing is the first step to appreciating when you learn something.
oh God, thanks!I very worry and panic when I check my sitemap. but now no more, because I already know any posts from you.Thank you very much,..!
Your posts with nokia are restricted, intentionally.
If your posts with that label are not being indexed in Google search, it's because the posts aren't being publicised properly. Indexing your posts by the labels won't help you.
The label search restriction is applied by Blogger, universally. Leave it.
Yes i was panicked just 2 minutes ago for the last couple of days. And then see your blog. It seems that this blog helps me on clearing another google releated confusion few days ago. Greateful to the writer. Special thanks to him/her.
Sorry I'm new and still very confused, so it mean that a page with 1 story will never be indexed? what would be the proper way to post stories in order to have them on google? I would really appreciate if you would take a bit of your time and look at http://phuket101.blogspot.com and tell me if there is hope for individual pages... I put so much effort in it.
No Willy, it does not mean that.
A page with 1 story (post?) will be indexed using the page URL, and using the URL for the 1 story (1 post?). There simply will be no indexing using any label searches.
Thank God, You've brought me to this blog. I almost do not want to write anymore on my blog. Thank you, sir, you've become a blessing for us.
Thanks, this is the first thing I've read about this that was written clearly and made sense to a newbie like me.
I'm a little confused. If i do a site: search on google and look at omitted results all my labels are listed. Does this mean for some strange reason Google is now indexing them? My site was performing well but in the last week the majority of my posts have dropped out of the top hundred when they were on page one previously? Any ideas what's going on?
I am getting the restricted by robots.txt for all of my site and not getting any information from webmaster. Should I not have labels at all, or is something else causing it?
You have to look at the detail in the "restricted by robots.txt" message. If the reference is to "/label/search", this is the cause. If this is the cause, you have to either ignore the message, or stop using labels.
The latter "solution" will leave your blog without labels, and is completely unnecessary.
Thanks very much for clearing that up for me.(I think it's Chuck, yes)?
I had noticed that "Label"was contained in many of my restrictions.
At that time I had one of those "view screens in my header" the ones that show pictures with post snippets superimposed(It was a third party, Bloggerized WordPress theme.
What I also noticed at that time, was that the Label restrictions matched the posts in the viewer screen(I think five posts only).
My actual labeled posts(Many), were not showing as restricted.
Due to this(And a number of issues with that third party template) I changed templates.
Strangely, I then had no restrictions showing at all until changing over to a custom domain through blogger.
Now I have 66 restricted urls.
Though, thankfully due to your insightfulness, I am not pushing the panic buttons.
Now I just need to work out why my Google Analytics stopped working since I swapped over to the custom domain.
Thank you for your elaboration on this issue. It has helped in clearing doubts. Thank you!
Thank you for this post! I have been on Blogger since 2007 and never really thought too much about the robot restrictions until submitting a site map and it came up that no urls were in the index. I started to panic thinking I had a big problem!! I did a search and found your reply on the Google forum and came here to read your blog. Thank you again for clearing the air for us!
This is the only site I've found with clear and concise and helpful info. You've helped me so much in the past few days. I didn't even realize I had to do all this stuff just to get my blog noticed. My site traffic has jumped a lot.
Boy.. I had been panicking with google search results of my site https://www.theamazondealer.com..
Google search is still showing 100+ https://www.theamazondealer.com/search/label/... results, but thanks to you i have made change in robots.txt and google webmasters page..
So, that's why 'Label' tags are not getting index by google webmaster tools. Could you explain me what is the different between Label(in blogger) and tag (in wordpress)?
Label searches have a different URL structure. This lead to indexing under two different URLs when labels were first released - and people saw their page rank drop because of duplicated content penalties.
If your blog is properly sitemapped, you don't need label search indexing.

My current A1c is 6.4. My fastings are averaging 120 mg/dl [6.7 mmol/L] to 135 mg/dl [7.5 mmol/L]. My doctor suggested I add a small dose of Lantus at night to bring down my fasting blood sugars. I currently take Starlix for my postprandial highs. Do you think insulin is something I need at this time considering my A1c is not very high?
It is always an issue as to how aggressive you should be. In patients with type 2 diabetes, where it is possible to normalize the fasting glucose, I think it should be done. If fasting glucose levels are consistently over 140 mg/dl [7.8 mmol/L], there is reason to have an additional agent on board to treat the high fasting values. If you are on Starlix only, the other thought is that there are other agents that would also be effective against the fasting glucose, including metformin. The choice of agents would be up to you and your physician to work out.
