Q: Is the etymology of the word "pandaemonium" in any way related to that of the mythological figure Pandora?  Do pandemonium and Pandora (she of the box) come from the same etymological source?

A:
Coined by John Milton in "Paradise Lost," Pandæmonium, from Ancient Greek πᾶν (pan, "all") (equivalent to English pan-) + Late Latin daemonium ("evil spirit, demon"), from Ancient Greek δαίμων (daimōn, "demon").

http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/pandemonium

A: to answer your question, you can compare user7834's answer with this etymology

1570s, first mortal woman, made by
  Hephaestus and given as a bride to
  Epimetheus, from Gk. pandora
  "all-gifted," from pan "all" + doron
  "gift," from PIE base *do- "to give."

so the two words aren't probably related except for the fact that both words use the Greek word πᾶν (pan, "all")

MashButtons: There is no time - Arkham Asylum awaits!
Since earlier this year, we've written countless posts (11) consisting of countless words (1700+) hyping the game that no one saw coming (are we kidding?).
Batman appears as if it's going to be a hit (review forthcoming); so a sleeper it is not, however it's a bit surprising that a licensed game by a relatively unknown developer is getting as much attention as it is.
Good for them - the game IS awesome - be sure to come back soon for a full review.
So without any further words, Batman: Arkham Asylum is available today at your favorite retailer for the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3.
One of the best game I've ever seen so far from an unknown publisher. I love the moves and combos of the game, I'm feeling the excitement of playing this game and if I can remember the last game that made me feel this way was in Warcraft playing my horde toon.
So far it's a great game, and getting great reviews across the industry. We should have a review up shortly, but as you know, there's alot of game here.

Object of this google summer of code project is to Implement Advanced Course Search that is flexible, case-insensitive, fast and can sort results by relevance. Most importantly it should work consistently on different Database engines and different content languages. The deliverable includes a functional advance search plugin for Moodle that can be installed and configured to substitute basic core search. The project will be implemented integrating 3rd party search engine API with Moodle course schema.
Non latin support with search queries: Database engines don't recognize word boundaries in non-english languages and can't do case-insensitive search.
Indexing: We don't want to reinvent the wheel as there are many awesome open source enterprise level search indexers available that can make our course search fast and efficient.
Sorting by relevance: We need to sort results according to relevance for example if a query result matches course name then it's more relevant then its other matches with summary of course. Implementing spelling correction (Did you mean?) feature. Also fuzzy search (alternate form of words) needs to be implemented.
Work consistently on different database engines and different content language: Course search should be implemented in a way that it can deal with as many databases possible. and it should be able to deal with different content language.
Earlier we had two choices for this purpose - Apache Solr and Sphinx. Both Apache solr and Sphinx has extensive documentation and community support and have very powerful indexing capabilities, but eventually faceted search and fuzzy search features that works out of the box with some other key points explained below for Apache Solr made it the winning solution.
As in Courses we are going to deal with Different types of summary documents & Solr can index proprietary formats like Microsoft Word, Pdf, etc. Sphinx can't.
As we were concerned about the non-latin character support, Solr supports unicode character search out of the box.
Solr, being an Apache project, is obviously Apache2-licensed. So the real challenge is now to integrate Apache Solr with moodle course search functionality. Advance course search will be installed as a plugin to substitute basic core search.
Preparing course search schema to integrate with Apache solr : Solr reads the schema to be indexed using a xml based configuration file, lets call it schema.xml. When user will install advance search plugin, it will contain its schema file that will be automatically replaced by the corresponding files located on the Solr server, and it can usually be found in the main Solr directory solr/conf. We will need to design moodle course search schema.xml depending on what fields we want to index and how. Available field types and filter options in Solr makes it very flexible how we want to do that. Fortunately similar problem has already been sorted out by Drupal folks and I am quite familiar with that so here we can use this knowledge reference. Searchable fields in course are idnumber, shortname, fullname, summary. We will start with these fields for designing the schema for moodle course search.
Extending apache Solr integration library with php to work with moodle : It is the Solr Php Client library that will talk between moodle and Solr. Here we need to extend these files to make it work with moodle course search plugin.
- If a new coursed is created.
- If a existing course is deleted or updated.
4. Getting the search response and rendering the search results via proper theme function.
As we know Advance search is plugin type code base so when installed it will overtake the responsibility of search system. So when the user activates advance search plugin, then moodle will interact with its internal search and to interact with apache solr in backend. These search functions will be responsible to 'generate' the required apache solr query and to speak with solr running instance.
On caching - While retrieving the list of courses that match search string Apache Solr has the mechanism to cache repetitious search queries. It has two built-in in-memory caches. one for search results and one for documents. They are typically limited to several thousands entries each.
Finally we will prepare the list of courses to show to the user, with filtering out hidden courses that user can not see, retrieve all additional information such as category name, course contacts, etc.
Achieving relevancy by using Solr's awesome faceted search feature: We can achieve relevancy by dynamic filtering results like searching start date(by days,months,years etc.) or spelling correct feature (Did you mean?) and in back-end Solr supports that out of box.
Relevancy is made using the boost clause on the field you want to give higher relevance. These "boost" clause will be added on search fields by internal search API functions as per the need while generating the search query for Apache Solr. From the Solr docs I found these key points to achieve for relevant results.
By default Apache solr sorts given search results in order of relevancy, and relevancy is defined in terms of how much 'boost' we have given to particular field and if some field has to remain more relevant by default than other Apache Solr by altering the schema file.
Solr with alternate form of words(fuzzy search):- In Apache Solr Text fields are typically indexed by breaking the text into words and applying various transformations such as lower casing removing plurals, or stemming to increase relevancy. The same text transformations are normally applied to any queries in order to match what is indexed.So when you are searching for "Fly" it also looks for "Flies" or "Flew"
Solr with intra-word delimiters:- The filter 'WordDelimiterFilter' can be used in the analyzer for the field being queried to match words with intra-word delimiters such as dashes or case changes. By default apache solr provides lots of filters for text field type to configure these things. Properly configured schema.xml is the key point to handle this.
➢ Discuss the further ideas with the mentor .
➢ Final list of tasks to be implemented under this project.
➢ Read & study the documentations on moodle and its Database Schema.
➢ Study the plugin development in moodle.
➢ Set up the development and testing environment.
➢ Create moodle plugins (admin tool and theme) that allow to substitute core search with alternative solution. At first it will duplicate the existing functionality but it is ready for modifications without changing the core.
➢ Create function for manual reindexing of all courses, add button for admin on the plugin page to perform manual reindexing.
➢ Prepare search plugin for distrubution: create install/upgrade/uninstall scripts, write Readme file how to install and configure Solr.
Submit code of completed tasks along with documentation.
➢ Debug the code and reduce code complexity.
➢ Filtering results by dates, tags.
➢ Implement extra functionality (if any other feature required and time permits).
➢ Testing, documentation & debugging.

STARKVILLE, Miss. – Among all the changes in his life that occurred from the moment he committed to Mississippi State University, Craig Sword learned one valuable lesson.
Plans are only as good as their ability to be modified.
On the day he was honored in his final home game at Humphrey Coliseum, Sword acknowledged his college basketball career didn't go as planned but in the same sentence said he "wouldn't have changed a thing that happened."
"I'm grateful that so many people had a part in getting me here and then was around to coach me while I was here too," Sword said. "I can say this, it went by so fast."
Before having one of the more impressive seasons by an Alabama high school basketball player, Sword verbally committed to Mississippi State head coach Rick Stansbury, a man who would never get to coach him. After his commitment, Sword had three different college coaches, multiple roles and many more losses than wins but never left the program despite having multiple opportunities to do so.
"He had options to leave," G.W. Carver High School coach James "J.J." Jackson said. "We spent some time searching, but he really believed in Rick Stansbury, Rick Ray and believed in Mississippi State."
Sword was named the state's Mr. Basketball selection in 2012 after leading G.W. Carver to a state championship. Nearly a decade earlier, Sword would arrive to Carver games, put his arm around Jackson and say "I can't wait to play for you and wear that Carver jersey".
Sword, who is nicknamed 'Chicken' by his mother and family members for a reason that he nor any friends or family can honestly remember, is still acknowledged as one of the most successful players out of the Montgomery area.
"I played with his dad a long time ago so I've known Craig since he was born," Jackson said. "I'll be dog gone if that 'Chicken' nickname hasn't stuck since he was a baby."
Sword was recruited by Stansbury because the former Bulldogs head coach, who is now the lead assistant at Texas A&M, called him "the quickest and most athletic guards he's ever recruited" and had him slated to be Mississippi State's point guard over the next four years. When Stansbury stepped down at MSU, the program tabbed first-time head coach Ray and Sword needed to be recruited again – this time to stay.
"I never forget going over and meeting Chicken and his family for the first time and obviously I don't know anybody involved by his mother Earline pulls up and she's got Alabama and 'Roll Tide' stickers all over her car," Ray said. "I looked over at my assistant and said 'Are we sure this kid is really coming?"
By the end of his college career, Sword was being applauded by his third different coach representing MSU with how he conducted himself as a player, teammate and role model for what Ben Howland is trying to build now.
"To me, that's the key guy," Howland said. "He is a great competitor and he wants to win in the worst way. He's sacrificed a lot for this program. I think if I had him for one more year he could really be special, and, selfishly, I'm sad to see him go."
Throughout the 2012-13 season, one that involved the Bulldogs only having six to eight scholarship players throughout a trying freshman season, Sword lost more games than in his entire career at Carver.
Ray sent out a social media message to the five seniors, all of whom were recruited by Ray, and from hundreds of miles away was keeping tabs on Mississippi State's 79-66 win over Auburn Saturday.
"When I was at Mississippi State, I would get complimented a lot about how my players conducted themselves but I would say 'I can't take credit for that because I didn't raise them'," Ray said. "People like Earline Sword deserve the credit for raising her son the way she did before I ever got there."
In this second recruitment, Ray said he believes the conversation in Sword's living room on the educational value of Mississippi State is what kept him from exploring other options.
Nearly four years after that pitch from the new MSU coach, Sword is set to return to Humphrey Coliseum one final time for a graduation ceremony that Sword's mother will be more excited for.
"She would constantly say to Craig 'what are you really there for? Because I thought you were getting an education," Jackson said. "She'll throw the biggest party you'll ever see when he graduates."
As he heard his named called last among Mississippi State's senior honorees Saturday, Craig Sword walks on the floor as a player that made a name for himself outside of the Montgomery city limits.
"I can't go back to Montgomery," Sword said. "It's a bad habit for a lot of guys I know. If I end up going back to Montgomery, I'll stay there."
Craig 'Chicken' Sword from Montgomery will have a bachelor's degree in Kinesiology but what he learned how to adapt to change in college – a skill he knows he'll value wherever life takes him next.

Have you ever watched videos of Jesus' life? Did you ever see him fearful of speaking or thinking in a way that seemed imprisoned or enslaved?
Jesus was completely spiritually FREE.
People say its because he was God that he was able to do all he did for the people, but I'm here to say He was human, just like you and I are. His last name wasn't Christ. He was Emmanuel, the Messiah, THE Christ, which was his spiritual nature that showed up upon his death and resurrection. Jesus HAD to be here as a humble human or his example would have made no difference to the human race. He showed us how to live with the impartation of the Holy Spirit, and how to live humbly and righteously.
So the question then becomes, if Jesus was human, and still able to live holy and righteous, why can't we?
This means Jesus did nothing without the Father knowing.
We all have the ability to be led by the Holy Spirit because the Holy Spirit resides in us. What would your life look like if you, too, chose to walk with the Holy Spirit?
Here is a great video on hearing the Holy Spirit by David Diga Hernandez.
In this life the Holy Spirit can mean FREEDOM for you. When you walk with the Spirit of God, you are repulsed by sin. You reject it because you KNOW God can't be where sin is.
Study the life of Jesus and how He was able to stay pure, holy and righteous. Get to know His Holy Spirit and you'll know spiritual FREEDOM.

There's a warehouse in Long Island City that houses a quarter of a million pieces of Tiffany glass, sorted by color, in rough wooden cubbies. Understandably, people who hear about it want to come take a look. Pilgrims regularly show up at the door and ring an unmarked buzzer for the Neustadt Collection. Lindsy Parrott, the collection's executive director and curator, turns them away. "My heart kind of breaks," she said.
The Neustadt Collection is a nonprofit decorative-arts archive comprising hundreds of Tiffany lamps and windows, and the world's largest trove of glass fragments from Tiffany Studios. The outfit lends objects to travelling exhibitions and has a dedicated gallery in the Queens Museum, but the warehouse isn't open to the public. On a recent Saturday, though, the Neustadt welcomed visitors for a rare tour, in conjunction with Open House New York. At 2:30 P.M., a dozen or so people were lined up outside the warehouse, in the shadow of several shiny new residential high-rises.
She explained that the warehouse held the remnants that were left when Louis Comfort Tiffany's studios, in nearby Corona, closed, in the mid-thirties. (Tiffany was the son of the jeweller Charles Lewis Tiffany.) Around that time, she said, Dr. Egon Neustadt, a Jewish orthodontist from Austria who settled in Flushing, began collecting Tiffany lamps, after his wife admired one in a Greenwich Village junk shop. Stained-glass lamps had fallen out of fashion, and the market was flooded with them. Neustadt went on to purchase more than two hundred Tiffany lamps, along with some windows and, later, the archive of fragments. He established his own museum, from which the Neustadt is descended.
Tomlin, who is seventy-one, has worked with glass for more than fifty years. She bent over an aquamarine shard, drawing a cutting tool across the surface.
An elderly man stepped forward for a better look, and nearly tripped over a floor mat.
After the visitors had left, Parrott poured out bottles of beer—"I think we should put it in a real glass"—and garnished them with orange slices. Tomlin mixed a gin-and-tonic. The Mister Softee jingle drifted in from the street.
The talk turned back to Neustadt. The doctor liked to customize the objects he collected, a practice that offends today's purists. Parrott mentioned a Tiffany dragonfly lamp to which he had added red glass, to spruce up the wings.
"And the thing is, it's just gorgeous that way," Tomlin said.
"It's not fair," Tomlin said.

Analysis: Senate Bill Worse for Virginia's Medicaid Program
An analysis of the Senate health care bill showed its changes to the way Medicaid is funded would cost Virginia's program at least $1.4 billion over seven years.
The Virginia Department of Medical Assistance Services released the estimate Monday. It said the Senate bill would cost Virginia almost double what the House version would from 2020 to 2026.
The difference has to do with how cost increases are estimated.
Democratic Gov. Terry McAuliffe said the measure would "blow a hole in Virginia's budget." Some Republican lawmakers have also expressed concern about the Medicaid changes.
The Senate could vote this week, then lawmakers will have to resolve the bills' differences.
DMAS initially estimated the House version would cost $1.8 billion but revised that to $708 million after it was amended.

Grassley extends deadline for Kavanaugh accuser to decide on testimony
Politics Updated on Sep 22, 2018 12:43 AM EST — Published on Sep 21, 2018 10:21 PM EST
WASHINGTON — The Senate Judiciary Committee chairman on Friday rejected concessions sought by Brett Kavanaugh's accuser if she is to testify about her claim Kavanaugh sexually assaulted her when they were teenagers, and threatened a Monday vote by his panel on Kavanaugh's Supreme Court nomination without a quick agreement.
Minutes before a 10 p.m. deadline set by Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, an attorney for Christine Blasey Ford requested another day to decide. Lawyer Debra Katz said the time limit's "sole purpose is to bully Dr. Ford and deprive her of the ability to make a considered decision that has life-altering implications for her and her family."
In a near-midnight tweet aimed at Ford, Grassley wrote that if she doesn't wish to testify, "say so so we can move on I want to hear ur testimony." That capped a tumultuous day President Donald Trump began with an incendiary tweet of his own, stating that if the long-ago incident was "as bad as she says," she or "her loving parents" surely would have reported it to law enforcement.
Judge Kavanaugh I just granted another extension to Dr Ford to decide if she wants to proceed w the statement she made last week to testify to the senate She shld decide so we can move on I want to hear her. I hope u understand. It's not my normal approach to b indecisive
— ChuckGrassley (@ChuckGrassley) September 22, 2018
The late-night brinkmanship between Grassley and Ford left in question whether she would appear before the GOP-run committee and describe her allegation to a captivated nation. Now a 53-year-old California psychology professor, Ford says an inebriated Kavanaugh pinned her on a bed, muffled her cries and tried removing her clothes when both were teenagers in the 1980s.
Grassley turned down Ford's request that only senators, not attorneys, be allowed to ask questions. The committee's 11 Republicans — all men — have been seeking an outside female attorney to interrogate Ford, mindful of the election-season impression that could be left by men trying to pick apart a woman's assertion of a sexual attack.
He also rejected her proposal that she testify after Kavanaugh, a position lawyers consider advantageous because it gives them a chance to rebut accusations.
"We are unwilling to accommodate your unreasonable demands," Grassley said in a written statement.
Grassley's stance underscored a desire by Trump and GOP leaders to usher the 53-year-old Kavanaugh onto the high court by the Oct. 1 start of its new session and before the November elections, when Democrats hope to grab congressional control.
Kavanaugh's ascension to the Supreme Court seemed a sure bet until Ford emerged last weekend and provided details of the alleged assault. Kavanaugh, a District of Columbia Circuit Court of Appeals judge, has repeatedly denied the accusation.
Trump's searing tweet reproaching Ford defied the Senate Republican strategy, and the advice of White House aides, of not disparaging her while firmly defending his nominee and the tight timetable for confirming him.
It brought blistering rejoinders from Democrats and a mix of silence and sighs of regret from his own party. Republican Sen. Susan Collins of Maine, who hasn't declared support for Kavanaugh, called the remark "appalling."
It was also the latest provocation — from a man who's faced a litany of sexual misconduct allegations himself — of moderate female voters whose support Republicans will need to fend off Democrats in the approaching midterm elections.
At a campaign rally in Missouri later Friday, Trump didn't mention Ford but said Kavanaugh was born to be on the Supreme Court and "it's going to happen."
The Judiciary panel's top Democrat expressed fury at Grassley's negotiating position with Ford and maintained Democrats' effort to build the battle into a larger election-year question about the treatment of women.
"Bullying a survivor of attempted rape in order to confirm a nominee — particularly at a time when she's receiving death threats — is an extreme abuse of power," said Sen. Dianne Feinstein of California.
Female interrogators "are sensitive to the particulars of Dr. Ford's allegations" and would "generate the most insightful testimony and will help de-politicize the hearing," said a letter Grassley's staff sent Ford's lawyers. Kavanaugh, a District of Columbia Circuit Court of Appeals judge, has repeatedly denied the accusation.
Grassley said he'd schedule a hearing for Wednesday, not Thursday, as Ford prefers.
He also rebuffed other Ford requests, including calling additional witnesses. Ford wants an appearance by Mark Judge, a Kavanaugh friend who Ford asserts was at the high school party and in the bedroom where Kavanaugh's assault occurred. Ford eventually escaped.
Grassley consented to other Ford demands, including that she be provided security and that Kavanaugh not be in the hearing room when she testifies.
Ford's request for security comes after her lawyers said she has relocated her family due to death threats. She planned to meet with FBI agents in the San Francisco area to discuss those threats, said a person close to her who would describe her plans only anonymously.
The GOP letter to Ford's lawyers said Kavanaugh and his family have received death threats too, "And they're getting worse each day."
Kavanaugh had seemed to gain momentum among Republican senators this week, with growing numbers saying it was approaching time to vote and those who'd voiced concern about Ford's charges stopping short of expressing opposition to Kavanaugh. But with the slender 51-49 GOP majority and the unpredictability of how Ford and Kavanaugh would come across to millions of American voters should she agree to testify, his approval remains in question.
Minutes after Trump's tweet Friday, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell played verbal hardball of his own, drawing a standing ovation when he assured a gathering of evangelical activists that the conservative Kavanaugh would soon be a justice.
"We're going to plow right through and do our jobs," he said at the Values Voter Summit.
Trump sent his caustic tweet from Las Vegas, where he'd spent the night after a political rally.
"I have no doubt that, if the attack on Dr. Ford was as bad as she says, charges would have been immediately filed with local Law Enforcement Authorities by either her or her loving parents. I ask that she bring those filings forward so that we can learn date, time, and place!" he wrote.
The remark infuriated many who've long argued that women are frequently overwhelmed, confused and ashamed by sexual attacks and keep silent or even bury the memory without confiding with anyone. Using a combination of Justice Department statistics and Census Bureau surveys, the government says fewer than 1 in 4 rapes and sexual assaults were reported to police in 2016.
Ford has said she never mentioned the alleged incident to anyone until 2012, when she revealed it during a marriage counseling session with her husband.
"A highly offensive misunderstanding of surviving trauma," Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., tweeted about Trump's attack.

And I don't mean Thelonious Monk, the famous jazz musician.
"The fact that I went on stage thrills and agitates people. [When watching the TV show] they are not expecting this, they just want to have fun and relax. And suddenly they see a priest. It seems that he reminds them of the existence of conscience, soul, and also sins," Hieromonk Photios – who is known as Vitaly Mochalov in his worldly life – told RT's sister video agency, Ruptly.
His performance was serious, somber and sung beautifully!
Although her demeanor wasn't what I'd consider appropriate, she won dancing and singing to "What a Feeling" from the movie Flashdance.
It's an interesting coincidence because just the other night we watched The Singing Nun, with Debbie Reynolds. It's a movie based on the original Singing Nun, Jeanine Deckers, a Belgian nun who became famous as Soeur Sourire or The Singing Nun. Her song Dominique hit number one in many hit charts in 1963, in her own version as well as in other languages.
We are all called to offer our gifts for God's glory, (Matthew 25:14-30) but the question we need to ask is, should monastics sing secular songs in public? We'd like to know what you think.


Web design has come a long way since the days of plain white pages and lists of blue links. In the last twenty years, it has evolved in ways most people who were around during the infancy of the World Wide Web could have never imagined. Here's an overview on the past, present, and future of web design. The history of web design, include information about the first published website, the creation and implementation of HTML, and the introduction of CSS and flash-based websites. We'll also go through a number of trends associated with present-day web design, such as mobile websites, responsive design, and hi-res displays. Finally, light shed on the future of web design and how new technology will alter current trends (and introduce new ones).

Halswelle, Wyndham

Wyndham Halswelle at the 1908 Olympics, London
Wyndham Halswelle (1882-1915) and the 1908 Olympics
Information here is taken from an article written by Davis Dobson for the July/August 2012 edition of the Steep and Stroud village newsletter.
Wyndham Halswelle was the son of artist Keeley Halswelle. His father lived with his family at Stoner House in Steep from 1880-91.
Stoner House, Steep
Wyndham Halswelle excelled at running at school and in the army, where he was commissioned into the Highland Light Infantry and sent to South Africa. On the return of the regiment to the UK in 1902 the young officer was urged to apply himself seriously to running and he made rapid progress, culminating in his selection to run the quarter mile for Britain in 1908, having set a British record for the distance earlier that year, (a record that was to stand for twenty six years).
Track events were held at the old White City stadium in West London, and the 440 yard heats were fiercely contested. However, in the second round Halswelle set a new Olympic record and when he reached the final he was hot favourite to win.
The three other finalists, Robbins, Carpenter and Taylor, were all American, and the race reflected the intense competition between the British and American track teams. The final was not run in lanes and as a result something of a free-for-all developed, with Halswelle being baulked by Robbins in the first 50 metres. Coming to the 300 metres mark Robbins led from Carpenter by about a yard, with Halswelle well placed to strike off the final bend, as he had done in the earlier rounds. But as Halswelle made his move to pass Carpenter in the straight the American began to run wide, forcing him to within 18 inches of the outside of the track. Halswelle later recalled: "Carpenter's elbow undoubtedly touched my chest, for as I moved outwards to pass him, he did likewise, keeping his right arm in front of me. In this manner he bored me across quite two-thirds of the track, and entirely stopped my running".
The interference appeared so obvious to the judges that they broke the tape while the race was still being run and declared the result void. That evening they disqualified Carpenter and ordered the race to be rerun in lanes (or 'strings' as they were then known) two days later.
In the event, Robbins and Taylor boycotted the final in protest at Carpenter's disqualification and Halswelle was thus left with a walkover to the Olympic title. He made known his reluctance to run in such circumstances, but the AAA gave him no option, and he duly ran a solo lap, to the warm reception of the capacity crowd. The controversy, though, continued, and at its annual convention the American Amateur Athletic Union refused to recognize Carpenter's disqualification, so strongly did its members feel about the verdict of the British judges. The episode soured Halswelle's own attitude to the sport too and after a farewell appearance at Glasgow Rangers sports later that year he effectively retired from the track. He then returned to his regiment to concentrate on his army career and in WWI was killed by a sniper at Neuve Chapelle in France, on 31 March 1915.

(CNN) Ted Cruz would have seriously considered dropping out of the Republican presidential race had he lost his home state of Texas on Super Tuesday, his campaign's chief strategist told donors Wednesday.
In a detailed 30-minute call with several dozen donors, Jason Johnson said that Cruz himself was comfortable stepping aside if he had lost Texas. Cruz won the state handily, although some polls showed a tighter race headed into Election Day. Cruz went into the year anticipating a strong showing in the Southern states on Super Tuesday, but only came away with wins in Texas, Oklahoma and Alaska, and trails Trump by more than 100 delegates.
The discussion of Cruz leaving the race comes as Republicans continue to fight over who is best poised to take on Trump. Cruz and Florida Sen. Marco Rubio have both outlined paths to victory to their supporters, as has Ohio Gov. John Kasich.
Cruz plans to offer an "olive branch" in Thursday night's Republican debate to voters currently not supporting him, Johnson told donors, part of what he pitched as an aggressive, intentional effort to make Cruz more attractive to voters who are unfriendly to the Texas firebrand's style.
The campaign is eager for Rubio to lose Florida on March 15. But it is also bullish on Cruz's chances in Kansas, Louisiana, Idaho, Michigan, and surprisingly, in Johnson's eyes, Maine. Two states where Johnson was skeptical of Cruz's chances: Mississippi, which he called a "big question mark" and labeled it more "populist than conservative," and Hawaii.

please anybody help me. Because i have tried my best to register a person and save data in models.Customer. But i cant.

A: You should use User of Django admin  , and create a customer model how is related to User by one-to-one relationship , and use signals on creation , this may help you : https://simpleisbetterthancomplex.com/tutorial/2016/11/23/how-to-add-user-profile-to-django-admin.html

A: The fields in your HTML file don't match up at all with the fields in your form class. Therefore, the form is not valid; but you are not displaying the validation errors that would show you what was wrong.
However, even if you made this work, you must not do this. You are creating your own User model that saves passwords in plain text. Do not do this. Django has a very good authentication framework which allows you to customise your models as much as you like; you should use it.


The Rolf Method of Structural Integration (S.I.), commonly referred to as "Rolfing" is a way of restructuring the body towards alignment for better organization and function. If physical structure is improved, function is improved. The goal is to create harmony for the physical body in gravity.
During the 10 Series, we work with every muscle and bone in the body. We do this through means of manually manipulating fascia, which is a tissue that is elastic, stable, and moldable, and which accounts for a considerable proportion of the body's outward form.
When some parts are not functioning properly (ex: wrist, back, neck, ankle hip, jaw), it starts to affect the entire body…and the person as a whole begins to suffer. Although it is not the goal of the work, it tends to "fix" these maladies. By the end of the 10 Series or shortly after, it is not uncommon for a lower back that has hurt for years to miraculously be free of pain or for someone who cannot run because of a chronic ankle pain to be able to run on a regular basis again. People tend to have more energy. They feel better.
While Structural Integration is primarily concerned with physical changes in the body, it affects the whole person. We are made up of emotions, attitudes, belief systems and behavior patterns as well as the physical being. All are related. Align the physical structure and it will open up the individual's potential. Clients often report positive changes, stating less stress, greater self-confidence and improved ability to handle life's changes.
Elise is a licensed H.H.P. (Holistic Health Practitioner) and certified with over 1,200 hours as an Advanced Practitioner of Structural Integration from the Rolf Guild for Structural Integration in Boulder, Colorado. She is also a member of A.M.T.A. (American Massage Therapy Association). Elise studied with Neal Powers (who trained directly with Ida Rolf starting in 1971 and was President of the Rolf Institute for 6 years) and Jeff Linn (who has practiced since 1986 and has taught in a number of bodywork schools, including IPSB in San Diego).
She was blessed to receive her Advanced Training (192 hours) in June of 2010 with master Emmett Hutchins, who was one of the two people trained by Ida Rolf to teach the advanced class, before he passed on.
Elise has also studied directly with Judith Aston of Aston Kinetics (Aston Techniques I and II). Judith created and led the Movement Education Program at the Rolf Institute for almost 10 years and is known as one of the great bodywork geniuses of the time, alongside Rolf and Feldenkrais. Elise is also certified in basic Theta Healing and has taken Level One in Integrated Craniosacral Biodynamics, which she feels helps integrate the structural work if the client so desires or needs.
The roots of Structural Integration originate from yoga, which Elise has been fascinated with and practiced many forms since 1998. She has a teaching certification in Ashtanga Yoga from Tim Miller, who was the first American certified to teach by Pattabhi Jois. She actively attended Bikram Yoga for about 2 or 3 years, practiced Anusara for many years, and most recently Kundalini for 7 years…and was certified to teach by Gurmukh in India in 2015.
She truly believes this method aids not only in chronic pain and injuries, but helps achieve maximum potential in athletics, and has worked with athletes such as Olympic sprinter Jaysuma Ndure, pro-surfers Jordy Smith, Rusty and Greg Long, Nathan Hedge and Paul Fisher, pro-surfer/Founder of Life Rolls on Jesse Billauer, and pro-skaters Pierre Luc Gagnon(PLG) and Chris Miller.
Elise has received many hours of the S.I. work herself, and not only did her belief in the work and amazing experience with it lead her to this career, but it also enhances her empathy and understanding of the client's experience on the table.

Why does Gandalf have to exit the film at midpoint to face off against Sauron, when we already know how all that business turns out? I appreciated the detail and sense of community that Jackson puts into his depiction of Lake-town, a port city in which a widowed smuggler (Luke Evans) plays an important role in the dwarves' quest (the city itself will be a major part of the third film). But did we really have to spend that long meeting all the denizens and their children?
And then there's the chatty dragon situation. The Desolation of Smaug builds and builds to a confrontation between the heroes and the enormous fire-breathing beast, which sleeps on mountains of gold coins and jewels and treasure. As usual, Jackson doesn't disappoint on a visual level — the dragon looks wonderful — but man does Smaug like the sound of its own voice. Acted by Benedict Cumberbatch, Smaug talks and talks and talks and talks — he's like all the James Bond and Dr. Evil villains rolled into one — and despite his impossible size and fearsome appearance, he's never all that quite imposing (he's certainly not very bright, either).
Whenever the movie gives him some screen time, Freeman does well depicting Bilbo's growing dependence on the magical ring he stole from Gollum — it's like a drug — and he's good, too, at portraying the timid hobbit's burgeoning bravery and courage (he gets to save the day, more than once).
But Jackson has become too distracted by his digital toys to give his characters the same weight and importance he used in the Rings trilogy (Bloom, for one, comes off as stiff and robotic, even though he's reprising the signature role that made him famous). The Desolation of Smaug is all about finely rendered CGI creatures (including giant orcs and an enormous bear-monster), villages that feel like sets augmented by special effects and a visual grandeur that is at odds with the intimacy of this small, simple tale. In one scene, the dwarves wander into a poisoned forest where they are attacked by a cluster of huge spiders. But the sequence isn't nearly as effective as the one in The Two Towers in which Frodo squared off against just one overgrown arachnid.
Saying a movie looks like a video game has become a hoary cliche, but that's really the best way to describe long chunks of Smaug, which uses so much animation it practically qualifies as a Pixar movie.
And although the movie ends on an enormous, groan-inducing cliffhanger, this story has been stretched so thin that all the suspense has seeped out of it. People who haven't read the book will have to wait until next December to find out how Bilbo and his gang fares. But it's hard to imagine anyone fretting much until the third film arrives.
