An antique book has a way of bringing the past into the present, carrying traces of all those readers that have possessed it throughout its lifetime. Sometimes those traces are as minor as a name, scrawled inside the front cover; other times they are more glaring, as, for example, the heavy eraser marks that censor Professor Derrick Rounsevell's newly-inherited copy of Bibliotheca Classica, an obscure encyclopedia from the eighteenth century. A past owner endeavored to remove any lurid or indecent detail from the book's entries, which, in cataloging tales from mythology, religion, and literary history, resound with unseemly acts. Curious about the origin of this bowdlerization, yet suspicious of internet research, the stodgy old professor enlists his younger wife Harriett to investigate. To Derrick's delight, Harriet learns increasingly intriguing details about the volume—uncovering a history of manipulation, theft, and a century-old murder plot—but, in the process, she also makes discoveries about her husband that Rounsevell no doubt hoped would remain buried. If he's not careful, the next thing to be erased may be his marriage!
Simon Brett is a British writer of detective fiction, best known for his Charles Paris series. He is also the author of several other beloved series and numerous standalone novels—perhaps the best known of which, A Shock to the System, was made into a film starring Michael Caine. In 2014, Brett was the recipient of the CWA's illustrious Diamond Dagger award for lifetime achievement in the mystery field. He lives in a small village in the South Downs region of England.

Christians living in the areas effected by the spread of terrorism passed a difficult Christmas this year. Although the collapse of Islamic State (ISIS) in Northern Iraq and Syria enabled the local Christians to celebrate Christmas for the first time in the past few years, the torment that the Christian community has suffered from is far from disappearing from the minds. Approximately 150.000 Christians had to flee Iraq since 2014, and only 250.000 Christians are believed to remain in the country. The momentary euphoria caused by the collapse of ISIS, whose brutal rule did not leave any choice for the community other than conversion, heavy taxing, or death, left its place to apprehensiveness on Christmas.
In Pakistan, Christians marked Christmas amidst anxiety as well. Pakistan deployed commandos inside and around a church in the southwestern city of Quetta Monday as its grieving but defiant congregation marked Christmas days after they were targeted in a deadly Islamic State-claimed attack. Snipers were positioned on top of the church, as survivors spoke of their lost loved ones and called for the congregation to be armed at a quiet, sombre service. One injured survivor burst into tears while approaching the altar to receive Communion, with other members of the congregation weeping as they watched.
'It is normally a joyful day, but it is painful… for all of us that attended the service while remembering the day of attack, as well as our near and dear,' told one young worshipper, Aftab, to Agence France Presse.
The suicide bomb attack last Sunday killed nine people and wounded 30 during a service at the Methodist church in Quetta, capital of restive Balochistan province. Officials said that police intercepted and shot dead one attacker outside the church before he could detonate his bomb. But the second managed to reach the church's main door, where he blew himself up. Christians are often targeted in Pakistan. In 2013, 82 people were killed when suicide bombers attacked a church in the city of Peshawar. And last year, Lahore suffered one of Pakistan's deadliest attacks, a suicide bombing in a park that killed more than 70 people, including many children, on Easter.

Q: 'var' in javascript is not storing the value i am learning javascript and ,i don't understand why var won't hold this value.
function animate(oning){
  var hello=document.querySelector("."+oning).classList.add("pressed");

  setTimeout(function(){
    hello.classList.remove("pressed");
  },100)

}

console logging this comes down as:
Uncaught TypError:cannot read property classList of undefined.
Why isn't var storing the value?

A: I'd suggest staying with fundamentals of object-oriented programming for a little while before moving to JavaScript in the browser. The APIs which web browsers expose are based on object-oriented programming and, without its understanding, it'll all still be a dark magic. But let's look at your specific problem…
There's a lot of work going on those lines. Let's unpack the second line:
var hello=document.querySelector("."+oning).classList.add("pressed");

You can rewrite it like this:
var sel = "." + oning;
var el = document.querySelector(sel); // document.querySelector("."+oning)
var clsList = el.classList;           // document.querySelector("."+oning)
                                      //   .classList

clsList.add("pressed");               // document.querySelector("."+oning)
                                      //   .classList.add("pressed")

var hello;

I've separated individual expressions from right-hand side of the assignment. It shows the order of execution and how one expression depends on another.
Then, you can see that clsList.add("pressed") is alone there and has no impact on your variable hello. This is because the add() method is changing element's class list (mutating, or modifying in-place might be some of the programmer's lingo). In this particular case and given some conventions, the add() method has nothing useful to return back about the action it has done. In other words, the add() method has no return value.
Some mutating methods might return a value. For example, true or false to indicate whether they succeeded or not, or a number like push() on array indicating a number of elements in that array. You can guess sometimes or eventually memorize, but it's always best to consult documentation – for example, Teemu referenced MDN Web Docs in their comment which is a great source with examples, references to formal specifications, and availability of particular API in different web browsers.
As you've experienced yourself, you can surely write:
var hello = clsList.add("pressed");

It's still valid code and it executes just fine. However, it doesn't do what you probably want. A method call which doesn't return anything in general programming sense, actually returns a special value undefined in JavaScript. That's JavaScript's way of saying: "I'm not returning anything. I'm doing what you told me and you don't have to care about the result. If you care, check elsewhere…" There's no point in storing a result of a method call which doesn't return anything.
Well, that's all good and well… "But how to fix it?" you might ask.
Let's start with an intent. We want a function called animate() to add the CSS class pressed on an element whose class name will be passed as a parameter. After a brief moment (100ms), we will remove the class. I guess this might trigger some CSS animation (not the best way if you ask me, but who am I to judge…). Let's explore one way the code can "crystallize":

*

*Define a function:
function animate() {

}

*Receive a class name of an element to animate:
function animate(oning) {

}

*Find the element:
function animate(oning) {
  document.querySelector("." + oning);
}

*Add a CSS class to our element:
function animate(oning) {
  document.querySelector("." + oning).classList.add("pressed");
}

*Do something later:
function animate(oning) {
  document.querySelector("." + oning).classList.add("pressed");

  setTimeout(function() {

  }, 100);
}

*That something is removing the CSS class from our element:
function animate(oning) {
  document.querySelector("." + oning).classList.add("pressed");

  setTimeout(function() {
    document.querySelector("." + oning).classList.remove("pressed");
  }, 100);
}

*If you still want to use a variable, perhaps to improve readability:
function animate(oning) {
  var hello = document.querySelector("." + oning).classList;

  hello.add("pressed");

  setTimeout(function() {
    hello.remove("pressed");
  }, 100);
}

Notice, that I store classList reference for later. That is our object of interest. Then, I call add() on that class list. And later, I call remove() on that same class list we stored earlier. A class list object can manipulate all of element's classes and provide additional useful methods to work with list of CSS class name. In fact, it's an instance of DOMTokenList interface which is used in other places when you work with Web APIs (or DOM specifically), not just to add or remove CSS class names.
If you find names like object, instance, interface, method, method call, parameter, or reference ambiguous believe that they have quite specific meaning. They and many others define what's called object-oriented programming which is one computer programming paradigm. Is I said in the begging, Web API exposed by web browsers are defined within this paradigm. You should learn the fundamentals of that paradigm first. Although possible, I actually think, it's not a good idea to learn OOP and Web APIs at the same time. The Web is very complex and often inconsistent for reasons which don't make sense without knowing its history. But that would be another topic.

Throughout Dragon Ball Z: The Legacy of Goku II there are 7 missing Nameks for players to find. The Namekians are hidden throughout the entire world - each in a different location and collecting all 7 will allow you to travel to and from New Namek from Capsule Corporation in West City.
On New Namek you'll find Cooler (Freiza's brother) and Piccolo's Level 50 Character Gate; which is found in the room just beyond where the Cooler fight takes place. Additionally, right after landing on New Namek you'll be given Grandpa Gohan's Key which'll let you open the shed behind Gohan/Goku's house in East District.
Inside Piccolo's Level 50 Character Gate you'll find a Character Trophy.
In the northwestern portion of Kami's Lookout (or Dende's Lookout; whichever of the two you wanna call it -- It'll always be Kami's lookout to me!) you'll find a Namek.
On your way to fight Cell with Vegeta (after he absorbs 17) you'll find this missing Namek due east of Vegeta's character gate.
This Namek is found due west of the Level 35 Goku gate that's found in East District 439. You won't be able to reach this gate until you go through the level 30 Vegeta gate further south. This is much later in the game after Cell becomes Perfect Cell and you're collecting the Dragon Balls.
Inside the Mayor's Residence in West City you'll find a Golden Capsule, Namek #4 and the West City Apartments B Access Card which will allow you to reach Namek #5, the very next one on this list.
Namek #5 first requires you to acquire the West City Apartments B Access Card which is inside of the Mayor's Residence in the center of West City. If you're unsure where this building is, it's the one that's shown just above in Namek #4s location. The chest that has the Access Card is in the western portion of the Mayor's Residence in a small room.
Once you have the Access Card, you'll want to head over to Apartments B (shown in the map location above) which is where you'll find Namek #5.
Travel northwest from the Save Point in Northern Mountains until you come across the Level 30 Piccolo Gate. Bust it down and continue northwest through this area until you come across the Missing Namek. The easiest time for you to grab this Namek is while collecting the Dragon Balls.
Northwest of where you land you'll come across a Level 30 Goku Gate, you'll be able to see the Namek from this location, but be unable to reach him. What you need to do is destroy the Goku Gate, hit the switch inside which'll extend the bridge that leads to this Namek.


A few months ago, I announced Rabu, a project focused on creating wonderful relationships between Agile teams and their customers. Today I'm proud to announce that our first tool, Rabu Schedule, is now available.
Rabu Schedule helps you delight your customers by telling them what will be done and when. It's interactive, so they can try out "what-if" scenarios and explore the schedule consequences of including or excluding various features. And as a command-line tool configured with a text file, it's easy to fit into your existing build automation.
I'm pretty excited about what we've achieved with Rabu Schedule, and this is only the beginning. Check it out and let me know what you think.

White Lines – Season 1 Episode 7 Recap & Review
The Dinner Party
Episode 7 of White Lines begins in the past as we see Axel on his birthday, riding with the group in his car while singing happy birthday. Back in the present, Zoe hangs out with Kika and tells her that she's slept with Boxer. Dave arrives midway through their conversation and tells them he's going to host a dinner and they're all invited, the intent of which being they'll all sit around and discuss the good times with Axel.
Marcus has his house repossessed and watches as Anna rides off with the kids. Left with a jeep full of gear and his dogs, he heads up to a business meeting and sits with Kika, Oriol and the others as they discuss the future of their drug trafficking business. As the conversation turns to the Romanians, two of the men mention about the abandoned fishing boat and how they dived down below but didn't find anything.
Zoe runs into another problem back home when she learns the dirty picture she was supposed to send Boxer was sent to Mike instead. Fretting over what he'll do when he sees it, he instead phones through puzzled given they haven't done anything like that before.
That night, the dinner party gets underway at Dave's house but Clint and Juan watch from afar and decide to try and get Dave's photos to continue the investigation into Axel. It turns out a few days before Axel died he sold all of his properties, which is certainly suspicious.
As the group all sit at Dave's and discuss their past, Kika chirps up and mentions how as time goes by it's harder to find something beyond ordinary. Anna mentions how sex is actually the key to finding memorable experiences, which prompts some awkwardness around the table given Marcus' affection toward her. This ultimately acts as the catalyst for what follows as the truth starts coming out and all the secrets are revealed.
Marcus tells them all he slept with Anna, Boxer and Zoe's affair is out in the open too and as awkwardness descends on the table, we cut back in time and see the happiness the group shared as kids.
In the aftermath of this, Zoe establishes that her fling with Boxer is simply "friends with benefits" while George sits with Marcus and talks to him about what happened with Anna. Back at the table, she tells him she wants George not him, and this revelation is one step too far.
Marcus turns his attention to Dave and admits that he's an ex-heroin addict before mentioning that everyone around the table had a reason to kill Axel. Marcus also goes on to admit how Axel screwed Anna over too. Even more damning than that, Marcus admits that Dave was in love with Axel. Dave bites back though and tells them that Axel himself wanted to die and suggests it may have been an assisted suicide.
Boxer decides to pass on friends with benefits and gives Zoe an ultimatum, telling her he wants them to be in a relationship together. Instead, Zoe tells him she's made a big mistake and decides not to pursue what they have, regretting her actions and heading off alone.
Down by the docks, Zoe's Father sits with her and he finally opens up about Axel and how he felt about him. As they continue to talk, he apologises to her and tells Zoe he wants to find who killed him too.
After a couple of episodes that have meandered along and not added very much to the overarching plot, White Lines fires back with a damning assessment of all our group over a very messy dinner party. Although a little melodramatic at times, it serves its purpose well and delivers some really good dialogue and exchanges in the process. There's a lot of bad blood and secrets here and seeing all of this messily spill over is certainly one of the highlights of the series so far.
The more questionable element of the series though comes from the plot continuity surrounding the Romanian drug dealers. Hearing the guys at the meeting mention they didn't find anything at the bottom of the ocean but only one body ending up in the grave is a bit of an oversight on the writing side of things (although if I'm wrong here, do feel free to correct me in the comments!) and acts as another nail in the coffin for this one being anything above an average-at-best thriller.
Still, the subject of Axel's death is finally back in the forefront of this drama and quite what happened to this troubled boy remains a mystery. If this episode is anything to go by though, it looks like we're finally getting closer to some answers!

Mediocre thriller/ drama at best. Should've been two episodes shorter at least
Ronny Wilbald
Correct. And in the scene where Marcus covers the feet of the bodies with a tarp when the police is approaching, you can see two pairs of feet on top of each other, rather like a couple having sex (graphic, I know…), suggesting there are two bodies under the tarp in the boat. You can also see two wrapped up bodies in a wide camera shot in the woods when Zoe and Boxer dig the grave
A Miner
Episode 6 only showed the retrieval of one body, along with the coke, from the sea. However, while still in the boat and trying to make it back to shore ahead of the religious procession (still episode 6), Marcus groused to Zoe about having "10 kilos of coke and 2 rotting Romanians on board." So, it appears the show would have us believe that both bodies were retrieved & disposed of by Marcus and Zoe. (Haven't watched the burial scene yet.)

By New York Times best-selling author Jack Olsen.
One cool April day, Mike Pritcher visits the home of his estranged wife, Lael, and takes their son, Ace, for an overnight outing. "She pushed her son's black-rimmed glasses up the slope of his thin nose. He jerked away like a puppy slipping its leash. A giggle, a crunch of gravel, a single wave of a grimy hand, and her only child was gone."
Gone - child snatched, though Lael won't realize that right away and won't understand what it means even when the police tell her it's a "domestic matter."
"You got the right to snatch him back," her lawyer explains. "That's about it." So that's what she sets out to do in this suspenseful, emotion-wrenching novel.
Have You Seen My Son? is Lael Pritcher's story, as she searches for her son throughout the Northwest, Canada and finally Mexico - an odyssey of near misses and sudden reversals, searing loneliness and unshakable love, as Lael reaches deep inside herself for a resourcefulness and strength she never knew existed. Combining intimate drama with powerful suspense, this is a story with which every woman - and every man - will identify.

What listeners say about Have You Seen My Son?
HAVE YOU SEEN MY SON
I liked "Have You Seen My Son" to a certain point. It was a good story told in first person but I felt it was drawn out with too much inconsequential information. Lael's son Ace has been kidnapped by his father and it seems the story was more about Lael and less about Ace. For the length of the story, it would have been much better had there been alternating chapters with Ace and his father as well as Lael and her lawyer, adding more depth to the overall finished book.
Adding another point of view would have made this journey much more intriguing and less monotonous for me. The story started out good and while it's morally wrong, it's sadly not always illegal to snatch your own child when there's no custody order in place. It should be. When a parent has temporary custody, said parent should be protected from this. And sadly, in many cases the victim parent's only recourse is to snatch the child back which in itself is illegal if the parent is caught trying to do so. Family law is tricky in this department and unfortunately it is considered a domestic dispute.
Overall, this was an interesting story but about halfway through it felt flat and one-sided for me. I wanted to hear more suspense and perhaps Mike's point of view as well as Ace. I would still recommend this audiobook. It's definitely not bad. Just a little lengthy with a single point of view.
Becket Royce did a terrific job narrating this book. She kept the story moving forward with great voice inflections. She's the reason I kept listening. I like her style and she's proven to be a very skilled voice actor. I would hope to hear more from both her and Jack Olsen in the future.

A high emotion thriller a Mom looking for her son
* I received a free copy of this audiobook through AudioBookBlast dot com in exchange for an unbiased and honest review.
Lael and Mike Pritcher are the parents of a five year old boy named Alex, but they call him Ace. Ace is a product of their eight year marriage.
Unfortunately Lael and Mike have been separated for the past four months. Lael has custody, but she encourages Mike to see Ace as much as possible. Despite their differences, Lael does not want to deprive Ace of the experience of having his father in his life.
Mike has always been self-centered. He never took Lael or her business seriously. Despite her success in owning and operating a flourishing organic herb farm, he has always referred to the farm as "her little hobby." He belittled Lael constantly and even went as far as to call her "frigid" if she didn't consent to having sex every night of the week. Mike cared only about himself and his aging mother who lives close-by and who is way too involved in her married son's life. Mike is what you would call a "Mama's Boy."
Divorce between Lael and Mike was inevitable and when creating the Separation Agreement and the upcoming divorce, the two were able to come to amicable terms on every issue except one: the custody of their son.
When Mike realized that Lael would more than likely be awarded full custody of Ace in the divorce, he went crazy.
Lael thwarted an attempt by Mike to spirit Ace away and things between them calmed down for a few weeks. Then came every mother's nightmare: Ace is kidnapped.
Lael was determined to get him back. She is a mother and she loves her child. Anyone who has ever given birth will understand the fierce feelings of protectiveness that mother's feel for their children. (Yes, I know, fathers feel protective of their children too.) Mike was able to spirit Ace away and planned to never return.
As days turn into weeks, and weeks turn into months, Lael starts to wonder if maybe Ace is gone forever. But, she refuses to give up hope. She takes it upon herself to find her son and to bring him home where he belongs.
This audiobook is expertly narrated. Beckett Royce has a terrific voice and her pacing is sheer perfection. She is able to infuse her words with just the right amount of emotion and emphasis. She does not 'over-act' which is sometimes an issue with audiobook narration. I rate the narration of this audiobook as 5 out of 5 stars.⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
As for the content of the audiobook I enjoyed it, but I did find that it felt a bit too drawn out at times. Some of the less dramatic scenes could have been eliminated. However, I believe that the author wrote it that way for a reason. I believe she wanted to convey to the reader that searching for a missing child is not easy and that there are days when the searcher despairs of ever finding her child alive.
This audiobook took multiple twists and turns. Listeners will alternately hope and despair along with Lael as she chases down every lead with relentless determination.
I would have liked to have had an epilogue at the end of the audiobook to neatly wrap up a few of the details, and it might have been interesting to have a few chapters written from Mike's perspective to allow the listener some insight as to what he was thinking.
Overall I enjoyed this audiobook and I rate it as 4 out of 5 stars. ⭐⭐⭐⭐
"Words: the neutron bombs of marriage."
Excellent Story! Excellent Narrator!
What can I say? I just really REALLY liked this book. I love the story of the desperate mother who will do anything to get her missing son back.
I found myself feeling for her every time she got close to cornering her ex-husband and her kidnapped son wanting it to be the end of her story with her getting her son back and her fugitive ex-husband going to jail. I can only imagine the anguish that a desperate mother must go through in something like this.
I loved the narrator as well. She did a fantastic job of relaying all of the emotions that this woman felt as she chased her son across the country and down into Mexico. There were really only two male voices; the ex-husband and the lawyer who was trying to help her, and Beckett Royce gave each of them a distinct, male sounding voice.
I love this book. I just wish I had listened to it earlier.

Any additional comments?
Five year old Alexander,Ace to his mom, leaves with his dad for an overnight stay.The next morning comes and dad and Ace are long gone.This starts the long,drawn out story of one moms search for her missing son.While the story was good,it could have been more enjoyable shortened by an hour or two.
Becket Royce did a wonderful job narrating this book.

First Jack Olsen fiction for me didn't satisfy
I'm a fan of quality true crime and Jack Olsen fits that bill. I did not realize that this was fiction when I received it. It's not horrible, the female narrator is competent, but the story felt a bit forced and overly long (or perhaps I should say repetitious). If you're a fan of the true crime style, you might enjoy this. I found it competent, but not compelling.

This isn't the type of book I usually read so I almost didn't. So glad I did. Very tense and shows the true extent of a mothers love!
Gripping story about tireless' mom search for son
Is there anything you would change about this book?
Have You Seen My Son is a simple story about a woman estranged from her husband, who abducts their 5 year old in a desperate attempt to flee because he knew he wouldn't get custody. The 10 hour story spans Lael's search for father and son through Canada and Mexico. The book singularly focuses on this kidnapping; If I wrote this story, I would have wound another mystery, as is common in most mystery.thriller stories.
I also did not enjoy the character of Lael (the mother. She seemed to sympathize with her husband (!?!) and was hyper vigilante at some times while casually attending to her gardensing business at other points in the book.
What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?
The most interesting aspect of the book was the imagery and abuse stories in Mexico. The least interesting part of the story was Lael's musings and defense of her jerk estranged husband.
Could you see Have You Seen My Son? being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?
I would not make this book into a movie as I'm sure it has been a Lifetime movie theme several times over.

The Fight Worth Listening To
This novel takes you through the desperate flight of a mother trying to find her son stolen by her son's father. It keeps you on the edge of your seat at each close encounter and builds on a wonderful character arch that keeps you listening for more.
The narrator. Becket Royce, was wonderful to listen to. Her narration was perfectly spaced and has rich tones that are well suited to the ears. She truly brought each character to life adding in superb character inflection exactly when needed.

Every mothers nightmare .
Would you listen to Have You Seen My Son? again? Why?
Yes , (although I very rarely listen to books more than once. ) this one was so exciting .
Have you listened to any of Becket Royce's other performances before? How does this one compare?
no I have not heard Becket before , but she did a really good job.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
there where a few situations where I laughed , and definately some where I cried, but most of the time I was really feeling for Lael's situation and the suspence was extreem .
I was so lucky to recieve this audiobook in return for an unbiased review.
This is the best book I have listened to this year!!
The story is every mothers/family's nightmare , the father decides to abduct their son, even though he already has unlimited access. the fact that the father doesn't take the son's astma seriously starts making the situation even more dangerous.
Right from the start this story grabs you and the suspence doesn't let go until the very last sentence. You really feel Lael's struggle and frustrations throughout.
really great narration by Becket Royce.
I can't reccomend this book enough, 5 well deserved stars from me.
A. Sines
Free audible copy for review **
Considering this book was published in 1982, it should be seen as an example of the reasons we have new laws to protect children, even (especially) in the middle of custody battles.
Lael is very passive for a woman whose husband stole her asthmatic son in the middle of their divorce and custody proceedings. Of course, she does everything she can to get him back, which, at the time was very limited.
Because of that, the story seemed to lag a few times, her character making the story passive. However, you just can't help pushing on as she does just to find out if she does get her son back. Having said that, you must understand that even though I found this a very passive story (not the heart-stopping thriller I thought it would be) there were a few times I gasped aloud. For an author to be able to do that makes it worth the listen.

Media release: Blueprint for screen success
THE proposal to establish a new Screen Unit within Creative Scotland has been signed off by Culture Secretary Fiona Hyslop.
The Screen Unit will work to enhance Scotland's screen industry by aligning and coordinating public sector investment and support more effectively. This reflects the Scottish Government's continued commitment to create the conditions for the screen sector to flourish.
The collaborative proposal outlines how the unit will operate to capitalise on opportunities for the sector. It was developed by Creative Scotland, Scottish Enterprise, Highlands and Islands Enterprise, Skills Development Scotland and the Scottish Funding Council, with input from people and organisations working in the screen sector.
Commenting on the Screen Unit proposal, Ms Hyslop said: "I am encouraged by the progress and clear partnership approach behind the Screen Unit proposals, and I recognise the significant effort that has gone into their production by our agencies, including Creative Scotland.
"I welcome the single plan which details how each agency will contribute to achieving a shared vision for the sector which is 'more vibrant, strong and resilient, supports sustainable creative enterprises, and grows its contribution to Scotland's social, cultural and economic success'.
"This Government recognises the importance of strengthening our film and TV sector. That is why we reaffirmed our commitment to screen by providing an additional £10 million of funding in 2018-19 to bring screen development, production and growth funding to £20 million next year."
Notes for editors:
In 2016 the Scottish Government set out its ambition to establish a dedicated Screen Unit to enhance support for Scotland's screen industry and to better align and coordinate public sector investment and support.
Creative Scotland will now start Screen Unit implementation, with the Screen Unit due to be operational by the end of this financial year.

People need houses, not letters, from Minister – Munster
30 November, 2017 - by Imelda Munster TD
The matter of unused council-owned land banks in Co. Louth was raised again by Sinn Féin TD Imelda Munster in the Dáil this week. Deputy Munster asked an Taoiseach Leo Varadkar and Minister for Housing Eoghan Murphy when they intended to roll out a social housing project in Co. Louth given the council has been in possession of 53 acres of land banks for many years now, and the county is suffering from a housing crisis.
Deputy Munster said:
"There are currently over 53 acres of council-owned land banks in Louth, including in Drogheda, that are lying barren. It might have been assumed prior to now that the government was not willing to allocate funding, but during Leaders' Questions yesterday, the Taoiseach indicated that money is no object in building social housing, news which is certainly to be welcomed.
"My question now is if money is no object and the council already has ownership of the land, when will a building programme begin? There are over 4,000 people on the housing waiting list in Co. Louth. In fact there are more people on the waiting list than there are council-owned dwellings in the county. Some of these people have been on the list for almost a decade. The government needs to get moving and start building houses."
The Minister for Housing responded to Deputy Munster, saying that letters are to be sent to all TDs and councillors and to all local authority chief executives regarding social housing targets.
"People need houses, not letters. People have been waiting for years, while land banks sit there, unused, for over a decade. People are sick of waiting, while the housing crisis continues to escalate. I hope the Minister gets his act together and releases funding immediately."


Safe, affordable housing is essential to the well-being of all Edmontonians.
Edmonton's dramatic population growth and increase in market rents has led to an affordable housing shortage. There is a housing gap of approximately 7000 emergency, transitional, and long-term housing units in Edmonton and approximately another 20,000 affordable housing units needed in Edmonton.
Annual counts of homeless persons show a decline in homelessness between 2008 and 2012, however over approximately 2,000 people in Edmonton still remain homeless.
The City of Edmonton advocates for the provision of housing in Edmonton for people who have a household income that is less than the median income and who spend 30% or more of their gross income on housing.


A few weeks ago I was lucky enough to model for Divine on Broadway's fashion show! Captive Memories Photography took some amazing pictures before the show, and I just had to share some of them (more HERE). I am one of the those girls that has had her wedding planned since elementary school, so getting to wear two different wedding dresses in one day was a dream come true! The only thing that was better than the dresses was the women that I got to spend the day with. My mom wore a mother of the bride dress, so I got to do the fashion show with her. All of the models were really a lot of fun to spend the day with, including Miss Kentucky, Ramsey Carpenter!
Pictures from the actual fashion show can be seen on the Tops in Lex website!


FORT STEWART, Ga. – A civilian medical examiner says evidence shows a Georgia-based soldier's wife was strangled to death as she struggled violently against handcuffs — an opinion that contradicts the military's official autopsy findings that no cause of death could be determined.
Dueling expert opinions could prove key to whether Army Pvt. Isaac Aguigui (AH-gee-gee) is convicted of murdering his pregnant wife, Sgt. Deirdre Aguigui, and causing the death of their unborn child.
Dr. James Downs, a Georgia state medical examiner, testified Wednesday that he's "confident to a reasonable degree of medical certainty" that Deirdre Aguigui died while being held in a chokehold that left virtually no injuries on her neck. He said he reached that conclusion in part because the military autopsy found no other reasonable explanation for the 24-year-old woman's death.

Indian Hospital Hit with Bitcoin Ransomware Attack
All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), major medical and research university, has fallen victim to ransomware attack
All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), a major medical and research university, has been hit with a severe ransomware attack, according to a recent report by Mint, a local financial newspaper.
The bad actors behind the attack are demanding ₹200 crore ($24.5 million) in crypto from the largest referral hospital in Delhi.
Per the report, the authorities are currently investigating the ransomware incident, with the Delhi Police registering a new case of cyber terrorism and extortion.
AIIMS, which ranks among the top hospitals in the world, has been struggling to fix its servers for six days in a row. Its patient care services in emergency, laboratory, outpatient and inpatient wings are currently being operated in manual mode.
Singaporean Crypto Exchange Next to Close Doors After FTX Collapse
As of now, the network is undergoing the sanitization process, which is likely to continue throughout the remainder of the week.
Last week, the hospital said that it was taking measures to restore its digital services after what appeared to be a suspected cyberattack.
The data of up to 40 million patients, including prime ministers and judges, might have been affected by the ransomware incident.
Ransomware is a malicious piece of software that paralyzes victims' computers and demands payment to be able to regain access to one's files. Hackers typically target major corporations, hospitals and universities.
In September 2020, a $4 million ransom was demanded from Argentina's official immigration agency.

For those disenfranchised and left behind by both political parties over two decades, Donald Trump provided the hope to level the playground. Hillary Clinton and the Democrats had no attraction, as their promise was to continue the status quo to.
The Democrats and those truly sick of Trump may be expecting a "blue wave" in November. Their hopes may not be realized in the absence of a message to the disaffected that they deserve the right to regain power.
The Democrats cannot depend upon anti-Trump voters to turn Congress. Theirs must be a local and national platform that makes realistic and comprehensible promises for which they must be measured and held accountable.
Many in our nation have been left behind by politicians pandering to special interest groups. Technology has destroyed blue-collar jobs and they will not return.
To the devastated Rust Belt and poorly educated among us, realistic federal programs must be created, funded and run long term to lift low-skill workers into the 21st century.
Tell the truth, state it will be hard and costly, and forgo playing to select interest groups that may be relied upon for votes, but cannot alter the future for those who found Trump a false prophet.

Q: Consuming Java RESTFul web service with PHP client I am having some problems developing a PHP client that will consume Java RESTful services, created in NetBeans 7.1.1.
For those who don't know: When you create a Java RESTful web-service based on MySQL database (entities), NetBeans will create, automatically, the entities class, and each entity "facade", that can be known as a service provider.
I developed a web application using Java RESTful web-service server and the Java RESTful client that consumes the web-services through Jersey & Servlets.
Now on to a planned PHP client: I already googled a lot, and what I see is: no interoperability (or i'm "the" noob), which is one of the purposes of web-services. I know how to create a RESTful web-service in PHP, and communicate with a PHP client, and the same with Java, but what I want is create the Java RESTful web-services server, and a php client.
Sorry if I said something wrong on the subject, and feel free to correct me.
If anyone could help me, giving me some ideas, code examples, explaining the "know-how", I would appreciate a lot.

A: This is rather an easy problem to solve.  For an enterprise application, I have modeled this same solution. The Java layer has CXF restful web services mapping to a mixture of SOAP endpoints (external systems) as well as entity objects (mapped via Hibernate/IBatis). Consuming the CXF rest layer is rather simple.  In PHP, I would definitely recommend using the Guzzle client.
/** USE REST SERVICES **/
$client = new Client("http://example.com/);

$locationRequest = $client->get('/someservice/rest/location/findstatebyzip.json?zip=12345');
$locationResponse = $locationRequest->send();

$locationResults = json_decode($locationResponse->getBody());

The great thing about Guzzle Client is that you aren't required to have CURL enabled/installed, it can use other transport mechanisms.


If you need a visual of how I feel after this week, here you go! I can't even believe I made it to Friday, frankly and I am ready for the weekend! I get to see my family this weekend at my cousin's 30th birthday party and then it's back to the grind for another busy week next week. I guess I will sleep in April.
As for last night's Open Workout 13.4 — well that did not go well AT ALL.
Last year it was Workout 12.3 of the CrossFit Games Open where I ran in to a movement that I just couldn't do: Toes to Bar. My score included all of my reps up until that movement, but nothing I did afterward counted. It frustrated the hell out of me and I made it my MISSION to figure out how to do them.
And then I was never been able to consistently do them again! So needless to say I wasn't that happy to see them show up in last night's workout but I was determined to give it a shot.
And I did give it a shot. But let's just sum it up by saying it did not go well. Score the workout: 3 reps, a fragile ego, and super messed up hands.
Obviously, I NEED some fun things to read to distract me from my (physical and mental) misery.
*If I was a person who enjoyed decorating things I would buy every single print from this Etsy Shop. LOVE LOVE LOVE. Maybe the impulse will turn me into a decorating person.
*Interesting perspective on love languages, compromise and how relationships probably shouldn't be measured by how Facebook-worthy they are.
*Even though I hate the use of the word FurKid and do not consider my dog a child equivalent, I related so much to this post. Maybe I will be able to do this kid thing after all.
*I want to do this workout immediately.
You live with health integrity when you truly own your journey, when you realize it's yours and yours alone. You stop living the old blame game and buying into the false dichotomies, the pedantic guilt trips, the bullsh** marketing messages, the cultural labels, the past-imposed limitations and identities. There's a real freedom in that decision. It doesn't matter whether you're at the beginning of your journey with a hundred pounds to lose and a collection of lifestyle conditions to beat or if you're at your ideal weight and healthy but want to know what it is to thrive in new ways. It's your journey, and from here on out, you get to define it. You don't make the rules of physiology, but you do get to design the vision you will live out each day.

Great post! I love the gratitude piece especially. That has been becoming a big part of my morning routine lately – I started keeping a journal of gratitude & happy thoughts!
Ask Garrett: WWMD (What Would MacGyver Do)? You know MacGyver would LOVE to have a nonstop supply of bobby pins around.
I was at a pilates class yesterday and a woman there (who is a veterinarian) called her cats her "children." I was so confused because she's been talking about how her cat got sick and then all of a sudden, she said her child and I was all. Wait what who? Anyway. FurKid! That is much easier for me. It's all about me.
Great post! The bobby pin one cracked me up because on my wedding day, my hairdresser used over 100 of them in my hair and it took me over an hour to get them all out that night!
The whole kipping motion is pretty difficult for me just starting out, but I did pretty well on knees to elbows. Toes to bar is just crazy!
I think everyone should have a furbaby before they have a kid!

The Ekiti State Governor, Mr. Ayodele Fayose, said he had learnt his lessons from his initial support for the embattled factional National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, Senator Ali Modu Sheriff.
Fayose said this when the ex-chairman of Daar Communications, Chief Raymond Dokpesi, took his PDP national chairmanship campaign to Ekiti.
He said, "I must tell you that I have learnt my lessons from my past experience. I will not openly identify or campaign for a candidate any longer. As part of our great party in Ekiti, I 'm assuring you that I do not have a personal candidate and God knows I have not spoken to my people about any candidate.
"We will allow God to choose for us this time by ensuring that all aspirants have a level-playing ground.
Fayose, while expressing concerns about the crisis rocking the party, lamented that some people were merely paying lip service to reconciliation efforts in the PDP because of selfish interest.
Dokpesi pleaded with the delegates to allow him to serve the party and return it to the winning ways.
According to him, since the last general elections, the All Progressives Congress has not allowed the PDP leaders to rest, urging members of the party to stand and defend democracy in the country.
Dokpesi also denied stepping down for a former National Vice-Chairman of the party, Chief Bode George.
He stated, "Some people have alleged that I have surrendered for our elder in the party, Chief Bode George. Let me make it categorically clear that I was born and bred in Ibadan and I do understand and appreciate the Yoruba traditions so much and so I have respect for elders.
"But there was no time that Chief Bode George and I met and discuss this issue and I did not in any way surrender the race to him. I have not stepped down for him in any way because this time we need fresh and younger blood that would have the physical and mental alertness for the job.
Meanwhile, the Chairman, Board of Trustees of the PDP, Senator Walid Jibrin, has faulted insinuations that Sheriff was planted by some unseen forces to destroy the party.
He said at Sherrif's age, nobody could have planted him to destroy a party, which was built by great Nigerians, both living and dead.
Jibrin, however, noted that God would not forgive anyone who wanted to destroy a party that governed Nigeria for 16 years.
The BoT Chairman, who spoke to newsmen in Kaduna on Friday, said in spite of the Thursday's ruling by Justice Okon Abang of the Federal High Court in Abuja, the August 17 National Convention of the PDP in Port-Harcourt, Rivers State, would hold as planned.
Jibrin, who expressed shock over the judgment, said preparations were in top gear to ensure a hitch-free convention.
He noted that the judge had the right to give judgment while the party had the rights to appeal the judgment.

Q: For each polynomial $p \in K[t]$, there exists another polynomial $g$ such that $\{p(\epsilon_i): 1\leq i \leq n\}$ is its set of roots I'd like to solve the following problem:

Let $K$ be a field, $f \in K[t]$ a polynomial of degree $n$ and $E$ a splitting field of $f$ over $K$ in which $f$ has $n$ distinct roots $\epsilon_1,\dots,\epsilon_n$. Show that for each polynomial $p\in K[t]$ there exists another one, $g \in K[t]$ of degree $n$, such that $\{p(\epsilon_i): 1\leq i \leq n\}$ is the set of roots of $g$.

I thought that the following statement coulp be helpful to prove it:

Let $L\vert K$ a Galois extension and consider for each $\sigma \in \mathrm{Gal}(L \vert K)$, the ring homomorphism
  $$\overline{\sigma}: L[t] \to L[t], \quad \sum_{i=1}^da_it^i \mapsto \sum_{i=1}^d\sigma(a_i)t^i$$
  Then a polynomial $h\in K[t]$ belongs to $K[t]$ if and only if $\overline{\tau}(h) = h$ for every $\tau \in \mathrm{Gal}(L \vert K)$.

Now since $E$ is a splitting field of $f$ over $K$. The field extension $E \vert K$ is Galois. Now, let
$$g := \prod_{i=1}^n(t-p(\epsilon_i))$$
So to show that $g \in K[t]$, we need to take a $\tau \in \mathrm{Gal}(L \vert K)$ and check that $\overline{\tau}(g)=g$. So
$$\begin{align*}
\overline{\tau}(g) & = \overline{\tau}\left( \prod_{i=1}^n(t-p(\epsilon_i))\right)=  \prod_{i=1}^n\overline{\tau}((t-p(\epsilon_i))) =  \prod_{i=1}^n(t-\overline{\tau}(p(\epsilon_i)))\\
& =  \prod_{i=1}^n\left(t-\overline{\tau}\left(\sum_j a_j\epsilon_i^j\right)\right)=\prod_{i=1}^n\left(t-\sum_j a_j\tau(\epsilon_i)^j\right)= \prod_{i=1}^n(t-p(\tau(\epsilon_i)))
\end{align*}$$
But I can't continue further from here, so any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

A: $\tau$ permutes the roots of $f$, so $\prod_{i=1}^n (t - p(\tau(\varepsilon_i)))$ is exactly the same as $\prod_{i=1}^n (t - p(\varepsilon_i)).$

Hi there! I was perusing the new exhibitor list for CHA this go around and found your blog via a search under your exhibitor name. I love your lines that you're coming out with and want to wish you all the best! I'll be primarily working at the Dream Street Papers booth but if I have the time I'd love to come by and see your products in person! Take care…..and get some sleep, I know these are busy times lol!
I just did a few cards last night. I thought I was being somewhat original when I sketced a bird & cut it out. Not nearly as cute as yours. I'll have to dress mine up.
it is looking fabulous, Jill!!! all that hard work will be sooo worth it! i am going post these sneaks on some on some of preview threads on mb…i know they are going to love them!
Love it all! Your booth is going to be awesome! People will be lined up around your corner!!!
SOOOOO cute! I know that CHA will be such a success for you!!!
Thanks for the sneak peeks!!! Looks like you will do well, it's all FAB!!! & thanks Ellen for the link!!!

Looks like some cute stuff! Can't wait to try some out. 🙂 Good luck to you!
I just got some of that cute little paperline……..I am drooling over it! So cute!!!!


Tweeter's remorse? Develop a social media crisis management plan | I made the newspaper! Now what?
It's hard to keep emotions under control when discussing high-tension events.
An antique shop accidentally sells a $1200 baseball card for $12 to a customer who knows it's a "steal". Later, the shop owner realizes the mistake and pleads with the customer to return the card. The customer refused, claiming the mistake still makes the card legally his.
Thinking through your response to a crisis in any situation is a good idea. Thinking through your social media response to crisis is even a better idea. Why? Well, to quote the school secretary in Ferris Bueller's Day Off; it becomes a part of your permanent record.
This week I saw a very well-known blogger and speaker get into a heated exchange on Twitter about the Marathon Bombings. His comments were likely misunderstood, but the real message is, he "went there" and he probably shouldn't have.
Stay away from commentary if it is not good for your business. If commentary happens to be your social media persona, then go for it. Otherwise, lay low and you won't be misunderstood.
Thanks for your insights, Al. Well said.
I think Twitter makes it especially difficult to think through your responses before posting them because the constant activity creates a sense of urgency. Coupled with a tense crisis situation, it's nearly impossible not to say something regrettable. Of course, these high-profile, delicate events require the most emotional clarity and self-discipline.
People often tweet things they regret! I have done it myself! We did our post after we had people message and ask what they should do! Yes a plan in advance is a great idea! nice post!
