Portland's Everlasting Sons - The Jolly Boys serving up sweet mento music

A quaint, rustic, small square structure nestled in Devon Bradshaw's backyard acts as the home base, central meeting spot, rehearsal and hangout spot for The Jolly Boys mento band. This is Axx recording studio in Norridge, Portland.
"There can't be a Portland without The Jolly Boys –we're all from Port Antonio. That's a Portland legacy. That's history," band leader Lenford 'Brutus' Richards told The Sunday Gleaner.
It is for those reasons that he is adamant that they must put the band back together. The Jolly Boys are beloved as Jamaica's most eminent mento band. Since their start in the '40s, they have enjoyed a reputation as the genre's standard-bearers, and have been praised for sustaining the musical tradition decades later. However, the recent passing of three members in relatively quick succession has put their existence in jeopardy.
In 2014, founding member Joseph 'Powda' Bennett passed. The band's lead singer from 2009, Albert Minott, died in 2017, and in March 2019, rhumba box player Derrick 'Johnny' Henry died.
But the current Jolly Boys have sustained their skills and vocals to produce mento's nostalgic and soothing tunes. The Jolly Boys now comprise 'Brutus' on banjo; Donnovan 'Puss' Miller on jimbe; Karl Thompson on lead vocals and maracas; Lawrence 'Larry' Christie on the rhumba box, and Noel Howard (who played with the band in the '80s) on guitar. Richards has voluntarily picked up the mantle to let the world know that The Jolly Boys are still quite lively and seeking to become as booked and as busy as they once were.
More than just sustaining the band, Brutus dreams of getting them back on the road. He believes the next step for the band should be to record a new album.
"We need some promotion and we need to get a new album out. The last album, Great Expectation, that has died now," he said.
Great Expectation is approaching its 10th anniversary, having been released in 2010 by Wall of Sound label.
The Jolly Boys recently recorded a track for a European producer, with the expectation that they would be able to tour the northerly continent.
"We were gonna go on tour this summer – but I'm not really sure what's going on right now with the bookings. In the beginning, almost every Friday night, sometimes Saturday and Sunday, we used to work regularly," percussionist Puss told The Sunday Gleaner, as he reminisced on the good old days.
This particular 'beginning' was the early 2000s, when Puss was working with Geejam Studios as an engineer. The Jolly Boys were busy as Geejam Hotel's house band, entertaining high-profile guests like Amy Winehouse, Drake, Beyoncé and the Gorillaz.
Puss continued, "Sometimes we used to go to Ocho Rios, Montego Bay, Negril ... all along the north coast to work. Since a couple members died, the whole thing change. So we're on our own now. There's not so much work these days. But we try to keep the whole thing alive. But mento music is in my blood now, so we have to keep it going."
"Mento is still alive," Brutus added, using Seattle-based musician Davin Michael Stedman as an example. With limited knowledge of the island's indigenous music forms, Stedman ended up recording Go Tell It To The Mystics with The Jolly Boys. The song was recorded on Stedman's second visit to the island.
"People are still interested. So we definitely have to keep it going," Brutus said.

Q: HOw to create meter to check password strength in php? As we know that we can call any function of Javascript
to control's event like onblur() or onclick() etc.
but ,, i don't want to use javascript...is there another way to call php function
actually i want to check password strength whater it is weak, average or strong..using PHP.

A: The thing about password meters is that they need to work dynamically. The only way I can think of you using a PHP function to dynamically determine the strength for a password that is SAFE, is to send a request through an AJAX POST with SSL (HTTPS).
Check out this related question.

A: jQuery and pwdMeter include:

jQuery to fire a call to plugin:

This code call .pwdMeter(); function on document ready trigger.
HTML Code:

  <input type="password" id="password">

It will show textbox to enter password and when you enter something in password box it shows you strength in empty span.

Viera, Holy Trinity football teams open season tonight
By Carl Kotala
Published: August 22 2014
It promises to be a special night for both the Holy Trinity Episcopal Academy and Viera High football teams as they open their seasons with the Kickoff Classic.
The Viera Hawks, coming off an 8-2 season, will host perennial Brevard County power Merritt Island at 7:30 p.m. The game will be televised by the Bright House Sport Network as its Game of the Week. It will mark the first time a Viera football game will appear on TV and is a sign of just how far this program has come following last year's breakthrough 8-2 season.
"Between the TV game and some of our guys getting college scholarships, the feeling around here is that we've kind of grown up a little bit as a school," Viera coach Kevin Mays said.
For Holy Trinity, tonight's road game at 7:30 against Liberty of Kissimmee will mark the debut of new head coach Nate Hooks Jr.
The Class 3A Tigers will likely face a tough task against Liberty, which is Class 7A and will have 50-60 more players on its sideline. Hooks wasn't worried.
"They can only put 11 out there," he said. "If my 11 are as good as their 11, we'll be in good shape. Most people think fatigue will come into play, but if we use our timeouts wisely, along with the official timeouts … plus training for those conditions, we should be all right.
"We're a few good men. We've got to train that way."
Tonight's games will not count in the regular season standings, but will give each team a chance to assess where they stand before the regular season starts next week.
Viera will open the season Aug. 29 at Rockledge, while Holy Trinity hosts Father Lopez. Both games are scheduled for 7 p.m.

You can undertake this mission with John's son Jack by visiting the boy at the Marston farmstead. When you arrive, you'll see John observing his son Jack shooting a rifle, practicing his technique. After watching for a few shots, he comments on Jack's flawed technique, and attempts to give him some pointers. He lets him know that he's tensing up when shooting, and it's causing the rifle to jump. Sound advice, except for the fact that Jack is feeling antsy, and is angry at his father. He is mad at him for being gone for so long, and expects him to run off again. John assures him that that won't happen, and then asks if Jack wants to come along with him to scare the wolves off, as they are hassling the livestock. Jack agrees.
Just like in the last Jack-centric mission, where you went out to hunt elk, you're going to again have to rely on your hunting dog Rufus to find your marks. That means that you're going to have to follow the slow-moving dog towards the woods as he tracks the wolves' scent. This should only take a few minutes, and it will give you an opportunity to listen to another conversation between father and son. As they anxiously follow Rufus, you'll eventually run into the wolves, but you won't immediately, so be patient, and enjoy the rapport between John and Jack in the meantime.
Eventually, Rufus will make a hit, and you'll spot the wolves nearby. You'll have to fight two separate packs of wolves, and you'll have to find them separately, so focus on one at a time. As usual while hunting, you're going to want to take a metered approach, and be extremely quiet as you move towards the wolves in the distance. Because the wolves are both fast-moving and aggressive, this makes them both an attack risk, as well as a flight risk. Both mean you'll have to stay on horseback to catch up with them, or fend them off from the safety of your mount. With a good rifle, you should be able to easily snipe these animals from afar, but as we just mentioned, be ready for some of them to attempt to escape or, if you're close enough, to outright attack in defense of themselves. Don't let them get too far if they flee, though, or you'll risk losing the mission outright.
When the first pack of wolves have been felled, you'll be free to follow Rufus on to the second pack. When you compare the relative amount of time it took to seek out the first pack, you'll find that Rufus stumbles upon the second pack almost immediately. Simply utilize the same techniques on the second pack that you did on the first. This pack of wolves is more robust, with a greater number of members within it, but your rifle should be able to tear through them pretty easily nonetheless. Again, keep an eye out for any wolves that are on the attack, or any that are fleeing. They should all be represented as red dots on your HUD, which will help you keep track of them all.
With the second pack of wolves felled, you're free to head back to the farmstead. You don't have to necessarily wait for Jack or the dog; you could just run ahead and make it back to the farm in a couple of brief moments. However, if you do, you'll not be able to hear any sort of conversation ensue between Jack and John. So then again, if you're into story development and the well-written conversations smattered all over this game, then you'll want to ride alongside Jack, even if it takes much more time to return home. When you finally get back, you'll witness a brief cutscene with Jack and John, and then will be able to undertake the next mission in earnest.

Showdown with ASU will show Cal's true colors
U.S. Presswire File PhotoFeeling the heat: Cal QB Zach Maynard (15) has been sacked 13 times in the past two games and has faced heavy pressure
Cal's home game against Arizona State on Saturday may be the defining game of the Golden Bears' season.
In preseason, this game appeared to provide an easy victory for the Golden Bears, but now it seems like a significant challenge based on the Sun Devils' unexpected success in their first four games.
This game will give the best indication yet of how good Cal is — or can be.
Cal survived its two-game road swing against ranked opponents with most of its confidence intact. Although it lost both games, the Golden Bears were in position to win both in the fourth quarter.
The Bears' inability to win those games may say something about Cal's ability to finish off games — which was an issue in the season-opening loss to Nevada as well.
Quite simply, Cal has been in position to win all four of its games in the fourth quarter, but failed in three of them to come up with the big plays.
Arizona State, surprisingly, may present the biggest challenge of the season for the Cal defense. The Sun Devils were expected to battle Colorado for the bottom spot in the Pac-12 Conference South Division based on the talent they lost, including quarterback Brock Osweiler, who's now in the NFL. But they rank 15th in the country in scoring, averaging 41.3 points a game, and that includes a 37-7 victory on Sept. 22 over a Utah team whose strength is its defense.
Quarterback Taylor Kelly, a first-year starter, has been outstanding, completing 72.5 percent of his passes with six touchdowns and two interceptions.
The biggest issue for Cal will be pass protection. Quarterback Zach Maynard has been sacked 13 times in the past two games, and he showed his frustration at the end of the USC game. Meanwhile, ASU has 14 sacks in its first four games, so the Sun Devils are very capable of applying pressure.
If the game were played in Tempe, Cal would be a clear underdog, but playing the game in Berkeley makes it virtually a toss-up game — one the Golden Bears need to win to avoid slipping to 1-4 and seeing their bowl chances start to disappear.

[![Platform](https://img.shields.io/cocoapods/p/ABCounterViewController.svg?style=flat)](http://cocoadocs.org/docsets/ABCounterViewController)

## Description

A minimalistic counter control with increment and decrement functionality. It includes the ability to set a starting, maximum and minimum values as well as text attributes.

## Example

![alt tag](https://www.github.com/abouzek/ABCounterViewController/raw/master/example.gif)

## Usage

To run the example project, clone the repo, and run `pod install` from the Example directory first.

An instance of ABCounterViewController should be created using the designated initializer:

    -(instancetype) initWithDelegate:(id<ABCounterViewController)delegate
    			  startCount:(float)startCount
                            minCount:(float)minCount
                            maxCount:(float)maxCount
                        stepInterval:(float)stepInterval
                numberTextAttributes:(NSDictionary *)numberTextAttributes
                buttonTextAttributes:(NSDictionary *)buttonTextAttributes

* numberTextAttributes and buttonTextAttributes are standard text attribute NSDictionaries.
* startCount determines the starting number, minCount and maxCount determine the minimum and maximum numbers the counter can reach.
* stepInterval is the increment and decrement interval.

The delegate method:

	-(void) counterViewController:(ABCounterViewController *)counterViewController
		         didUpdateToCount:(float)count

will be called each time the count is updated.

The frame must be set manually after initialization and looks best when the width is at least double the height.

## Installation

ABCounterViewController is available through [CocoaPods](http://cocoapods.org). To install
it, simply add the following line to your Podfile:

    pod "ABCounterViewController"

Central Scotland Police said the lead had been taken over the past few months. All the buildings targeted were owned by Falkirk Council.
Six charges have been brought against the teenager, who will be reported to the Children's Reporter.
Grangemouth police officers said the arrest came after an "intense investigation".
PC David Bellingham said: "The buildings damaged are all local authority premises, which can be vulnerable outwith normal working hours.
"Can I urge all members of the community to keep an extra eye on school and other local authority buildings."

MTA To Allow Personally Owned E-Bikes And E-Scooters On Public Transit
By Brandon Weigel November 29, 2021 at 2:30 pm
Filed Under:Baltimore, e-bikes, E-Scooters, Light RailLink, Maryland Transit, MTA, WJZ Instagram
BALTIMORE (WJZ) — The Maryland Transit Administration will soon allow riders on public transportation to bring personally owned e-bikes and e-scooters on buses, Light RailLink, Metro SubwayLink and the MARC Train, the agency said Monday.
The updated bike policy takes effect Dec. 1.
Maryland Department of Transportation officials said the change creates a more seamless commute for people using multiple modes of transportation.
"Whether you're walking to a bus stop, driving to a transit hub, riding your bike to work or any of the various combinations of travel options, we have to continually eliminate barriers to travel," said MDOT Secretary Greg Slater. "Today's policy expansion is one more step."
MTA Administrator Holly Arnold added the revised policy "demonstrates our commitment to providing a more satisfactory door-to-door travel experience, while expanding our riders' travel options to and from our transit modes."
Under the policy, e-bikes and e-scooters must be 50 pounds or less. Gas-powered scooters and bikes are prohibited even if they also run off a battery.
Riders must fold e-scooters when boarding a bus and place them between their legs while seated or close by when standing. E-bikes should be placed on the bike rack on the front of the bus.
E-bikes are only allowed in the last car of a Light RailLink train.
On both the Light Rail and Metro SubwayLink, riders with e-bikes must hold their bikes upright in the priority seating area and clear a path for seniors and people with disabilities, who have priority for this seating.
E-bikes and folding e-scooters are not allowed to be stored in overhead storage bins on the MARC train. Riders with standard e-bikes must use bike cars.
For more information on rules and restrictions, users can view the full revised policy here at the MTA Website.

How to protect your heart without sacrificing taste: Eliminate trans fat from your food
Removing trans fat from the global food supply saves lives and reduces the burden on health care by preventing heart attacks.
Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus and Dr. Tom Frieden
Opinion contributors
After victories in eradicating smallpox, certifying most of the world polio free and developing COVID-19 vaccines in record time, we are on the cusp – for the first time – of turning the tide on a major noninfectious global public health risk.
Consumption of industrially produced trans fat, a toxic chemical compound found in many processed foods, has prematurely killed up to half a million people worldwide each year from coronary heart disease. Many more live with the debilitating effects of heart attacks.
The avoidable health and social impacts of these noncommunicable diseases are immense. But they are also eminently avoidable.
The World Health Organization's industrial trans fat elimination initiative (REPLACE), supported by Resolve to Save Lives and other partners, has the goal of making the world free from industrially produced trans fat by the end of 2023.
The initiative calls for countries to set limits on industrially produced trans fat or ban partially hydrogenated oils, which are a major source of trans fat in food. WHO recommends that not more than 2 grams of industrially produced trans fat are allowed in every 100 grams of fats and oils.
The case for action is clear. Removing trans fat from the global food supply saves lives and reduces the burden on health care by preventing heart attacks.
The opportunity is great. There is no need for our diets to include industrially produced trans fat. Oils not containing trans fat, and that are rich in healthier unsaturated fat, can be readily used as alternative ingredients. Consumers do not notice any change in the taste of their food; only their hearts will know the difference.
Opinions in your inbox: Get a digest of our takes on current events every day
And the time to act is now. COVID-19 has underscored, as never before in modern history, the importance of protecting and promoting people's health and well-being.
When it comes to diet, the global public is increasingly demanding healthier options. It is the task of health agencies, governments, food manufacturers and oil suppliers to make these options the norm, not the exception.
Thankfully, more and more governments and, importantly, many manufacturers, recognize the case, the opportunity and the need.
Findings from a new WHO report, issued Tuesday, show that governments in 40 countries have put into effect industrial trans fat elimination policies that are protecting 1.4 billion people from this deadly food compound. In 2018, 23 countries had set limits on industrially produced trans fat or banned partially hydrogenated oils.
Although these measures have been taken mostly by high-income countries, they are now also being adopted in lower-middle-income nations.
Over the next few years, an additional 1.7 billion people will be protected thanks to best practice policies, including strong regulations, on industrially produced trans fat recently adopted in six countries: Bangladesh, India, the Philippines and Ukraine, as well as Uruguay and Paraguay. Nigeria is moving to do so as well.
Countries at highest risk haven't acted
This trend is encouraging but must be urgently scaled up. Ten of the 15 countries suffering the highest health impact from industrially produced trans fat have not yet adopted a best-practice elimination policy.
While it is governments who make and enforce policies, it is the manufacturers who make the products. Therefore, it is vital for companies to adjust recipes and ingredients and oil suppliers to improve supply chains so that the healthier ingredients become the default choice.
Manufacturers have a responsibility to nourish, not harm, their consumers. As with progress creating renewable energy to protect the planet, companies are taking the opportunity to offer customers the healthier foods they need and want.
Food companies commit to action
Many of the world's largest multinational food companies have committed to phase out industrially produced trans fat globally by the end of 2023. We must turn these commitments into measurable action.
One of the greatest challenges in eliminating trans fat has been enforcing policies and monitoring impact. To address this, we call on countries to join the WHO Certification Program for Trans Fat Elimination. This initiative supports the monitoring and enforcement of national policies to eliminate industrially produced trans fat, and recognizes countries that have taken the necessary actions.
Rigorous monitoring and enforcement, including receiving data from companies, are essential if we are to guarantee that countries and companies have taken verifiable actions to eliminate trans fat.
This is where the difference will be made.
At a time when the importance of public health has never been more paramount, we call on governments, industry and all other stakeholders to embrace their essential roles in protecting people from industrially produced trans fat, and to replace the horror of heart disease with the hope for good health.
Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus is director-general of the World Health Organization; Dr. Tom Frieden is president and chief executive officer of Resolve to Save Lives.

The anthology was edited by his students on the occasion of his sixtieth birthday. It reflects the honoree's distinguished career as a historical researcher. Having obtained his doctorate under Alphons Lhotsky, the Nestor ofAustrian medievalists, he then worked in the Institut für Österreichische Geschichtsforschung, that nursery of painstaking diplomatics, as assistant to its director, Leo Santifaller. In 1964 he transferred to the department for historical studies at the Austrian Cultural Institute in Rome,where he remained for thirteen years before he took up his present appointment in 1976. Much of his time there was spent in the Vatican Archives, particularly for his study of the earlier career of the humanist Enea Silvio de' Piccolomini, the later Pius II, and the Piccolomini family,who were closely involved in Austria. While most of this collection deals with the later Middle Ages, some articles spill over into the early modern, particularly the Counter-Reformation, period. The last one takes us even to the end of World War I. One of the purposes the editors had in mind in pubUshing these studies was to fill a perceived gap in the historiography of the late medieval Habsburgs, especially their ecclesiastical policy. Whereas this work may not fulfill the desideratum completely, it certainly lays the groundwork for such a book. With the possible exception of the first study, the essays reflect a good old-fashioned German approach to the writing of history ,namely, a conscientious and minute search for, and examination of,relevant sources, including what to us may seem trivial biographical data of semiobscure personalities. But in a surprising manner Strnad is able to use these details to shed light on broader issues. Sometimes he finds it even necessary to correct his old mentor, Lhotsky. The only truly interpretative study is the first one, his unpublished "The Holy Roman Empire in the Late Middle Ages: Insights into Imperial Concepts." In it we have a sweeping but acute interpretation of the notion of the medieval Empire and the part that the Habsburgs played in it from the death of the Hohenstaufen Emperor Frederick II to the Imperial reformulation at the time of the Habsburg Emperor Charles V Using the overarching idea of a universal Empire 74BOOK REVIEWS that would bring about peace and justice as found in Dante's De Monarchia, Strnad gives us an outline, albeit subjective at times, of the character and policy of the various German kings or emperors. His account clearly shows that his sympathies lie with the Habsburg dukes in their rivalries with the Imperial rulers of the Luxemburg line. It does not prevent him from disapproving the vacillations and indecisiveness of the Habsburg Frederick III. This survey sets the tone for much that is to follow in the subsequent articles, many ofwhich are concerned with the attempt of the Austrian territorial rulers to seize control over the church within their lands, a struggle that involved them, inter alia, with the prince-archbishop of Salzburg, the see of Passau, and the Luxemburg Emperor Charles IV, not to speak of their own intra-family quarrels. For example, in his second study, also unpublished, the author traces the history of the diocese of Seckau in the province of Styria, which was started ostensibly as a suffragan see of the metropolitan of Salzburg in 1 164, but became a point offriction between the archbishop and the territorial ruler over the appointment of the bishop. Somewhat similarly the see of Passau became a pawn in the power...

Texture is great! Feeling soft and comfortable. Logo is embroidered and looks stunning. Washed it for twice and can't really feel it's shrunk. Buttons are sort of loose thou. Also, the shipping fee is quite reasonable for international shipping. Will definitely recommend this to friends!
Honestly, for the price I was expecting better quality. I wore it once, washed it, and it shrunk too much to be worn again and the collar did the whole "bacon thing" and got all wrinkly so it's no longer something I can wear.


By embracing the major conceptual and theoretical contributions to nursing research that are outside of traditional nursing theory, this book serves as a vital resource for nurse researchers, and one that is indispensable for doctoral nursing students embarking on their dissertations. Containing the full complement of information required for the Theoretical Foundations of Nursing course for PhD programs, the text supports the foundational skills needed for excellence in research and scholarship. The book examines in depth the components of nursing theory and the types of theory used in nursing research and practice, and teaches students about the nature and use of concepts and the development of critical thinking skills that are essential for nursing research.
This text contains information for developing concepts and middle-range theory, using a variety of qualitative research methods, broadening theoretical scope by linking middle-range theories, and moving knowledge toward certainty by use of evidence. It also illustrates the construction of frameworks for quantitative inquiry, exploring theory in mixed-method design and how theory develops knowledge. Each method includes a description of the methodological approach and examples of subsequent concept or theory development. The text includes several methods for the development of concepts, micro- and mid-range theories using qualitative research, and a discussion of the new trend of moving these qualitative theories toward practice-based evidence. Each section of the book contains practical examples and supplementary activities that encourage inquiry. An instructor's manual is included for adopters of the text.

Mansfield District Council implements a new enterprise-wide IT system from Capita IB Solutions
Posted on 01st July 2012 | Share
Like many other Local Authorities and Government Agencies across the UK, Mansfield District Council is having to work hard to make significant cost savings while maintaining high levels of service. It is a region where the political landscape changes regularly, which creates its own challenges. To help meet and overcome these challenges, the Council has implemented a new enterprise-wide IT system from Capita IB Solutions that, according to Eve Szubert, Mansfield District Council's Financial Services Manager, is "…far superior to the capabilities of our previous system."
The district of Mansfield is a largely urban area, situated in the north west of Nottinghamshire and populated by around 100,000 residents. It is the only local authority area in the county to have a directly elected Mayor, who gives Mansfield strong democratic leadership and who has direct engagement with the local people.
From an IT perspective, the Council had been running a UNIX-based system since the 1980s. The Ingres Database became unsupported, and by 2010 the system was less fit for purpose and becoming heavily reliant on spreadsheets and other databases.
Linda Miller, Mansfield District Council's Financial Information Systems Manager, explains, "In 2009, we carried out a detailed independent financial systems review, which included interviews with lots of people throughout the Council to determine how they use the systems and what improvements they wanted. This review produced an extensive document, detailing everything we needed in order to optimise our financial systems."
She continues, "Amongst many other requirements, the report identified that the Council wanted to have a much more flexible working environment, with more hot-desking and remote/home working.
Our previous system was very terminal-based and simply could not provide the solution we wanted moving forward. There were too many weaknesses in the system, particularly around procurement, a lack of workflow and cumbersome, inflexible reporting.
As we were heavily reliant on spreadsheets, this meant that we had very little integration across the Council and we also needed to phase out the hardware platforms."
