An artist and neighbour of mine, Kathy Ross has some of her work in a very unique exhibition by Athenry M Artists Group-local artists. The art features the mart (the cattle, people and the mart building itself) and is on display in one of the mart rings. It's the perfect environment to house the exhibition as the mart is an integral part of Athenry town. Visitors can associate to the art more as there's cattle, farmers around them and they are in the buildings featured in the art.
I visited the exhibition recently and experienced my first cattle mart as well. What can I say about it? It's an experience & a man's world; the musical, almost singing voice of the auctioneer, the farmers, cattle and surprisingly quick sales.

We've created a 130-team bracket using ESPN's FPI as our ranking system.
"But, anyone can create a bracket, how will the games be simulated?" Great question; NCAA Game Sim was used.
For each game on the bracket, the matchup was simulated once and every day a write-up will be done.
For the matchup, player statistics will be simulated and included in the write-ups.
Finally, thanks to the NCAA Game Sim premium membership, we'll show the results of doing 100 simulations all at once. This is to see if a given result was more towards the expected side or if a given result was more towards the upset or luckier side.
All of the results have been simulated and tabulated, so at the time of writing the introduction, the results are already in.
This is designed to be fun, so please enjoy.
From Georgia to Massachusetts, here's the 130-team bracket:
(1) Oklahoma vs. (3) Arkansas
How Oklahoma Got Here: 52-7 win over (16) New Mexico, 38-20 win over (8) UAB, 36-21 win over (5) Houston
How Arkansas Got Here: 48-13 win over (14) San Jose State, 48-35 win over (6) SMU, 41-13 win over (7) Fresno State
This one was a back-and-forth game that came down to the wire.
Arkansas quarterback KJ Jefferson was 17-for-25 with 261 yards and two touchdowns. Not to be outdone, Oklahoma quarterback Caleb Williams was 23-for-33 with 252 yards and three touchdowns.
Oklahoma receiver Jadon Haselwood had himself a day, accruing five receptions, 108 yards, and a touchdown. Ironically, Haselwood transferred this offseason from Oklahoma to Arkansas.
The biggest difference between these two teams was consistently running the ball and staying ahead of the chains.
Arkansas running back AJ Green led Razorback runners with 65 yards on five carries with a long of 51 yards.
Jefferson rushed for 19 yards on seven carries while Trelon Smith added 50 yards on 16 carries.
In stark contrast was the stat line of Oklahoma's Kennedy Brooks. Brooks finished with 137 yards and a touchdown on 23 carries.
Ultimately it was a Brooks touchdown, which came with less than a minute to play, that would seal the deal.
Oklahoma wins in a nail-biter over the Razorbacks. The Sooners advance, 31-28.
In 100 simulations, Oklahoma won 53 of them by an average margin of 27.5-27.2.
Arkansas' loss means the SEC is now done to two teams remaining — (1) Georgia and (4) Tennessee.
Winner's Next Matchup: (1) Michigan
Tomorrow's Matchup: (1) Notre Dame vs. (2) Utah

A strange planet Kepler found, and some strange things about it
Thread: A strange planet Kepler found, and some strange things about it
2018-Nov-06, 02:01 AM #1
The above paper is a recent one on a sunlike star named Kepler-1656 and its planet, "b". Kepler-1656, the star, is slightly bigger and more massive than the Sun, about (if I did the math right) 186.8774644 pc = 609.22 ly away. The Kepler spacecraft caught a transiting planet, and the current paper follows up with more astrometric detail to pin down the details as best as possible.
Kepler-1656 b is about 48.6 times the mass of Earth (=0.511 Saturns or 2.834 Neptunes), just over 5 times the radius of Earth, and has an eccentricity of 0.836, a real roller-coaster. The semimajor axis is 0.197 AU, so it gets pretty hot. Its closest approach to its sun is a*(1-e) = 0.03231 AU, and its greatest distance is about 0.3617 AU. Mercury's distance from the Sun ranges from 0.3075 AU to 0.4667 AU, so K-1656 b is toasted nicely. I cannot find out what spectral type the star is, but I looked at other papers on it and it's an F or G.
The authors of the paper call Kepler-1656 b a "sub-Saturn" but it isn't really. In any other research paper on "Saturn-like" exoplanets, that phrase means the exoplanet is large in diameter but very low in density and mass, as Saturn is to Jupiter. This planet is not. It is on the extreme high end of mini-gas giant mass, a very strange critter, more properly a giant/massive Neptune. The authors believe K-1656 b is the complete amalgamation of all inner planets the system ever had, as none could escape the gravity well where K-1656 b is even if slingshot-ed away by the planet. The other planets and planetoids eventually collided with K-1656 b and that was it. It literally mopped up its inner planetary system. No other worlds have been detected around the star, yet, but there's plenty of room for them farther out.
I wanted to figure out if this massive mini-gas giant might have any moons. Attached is the Roche limit table for it. Moons could have been formed by giant impacts, which this world likely had, or captured as debris in 3-body problems.
More in a bit.

There is something fascinating about science. One gets such wholesale returns of conjecture out of such a trifling investment of fact.
— Mark Twain, Life on the Mississippi (1883)
Temperature of Kepler-1656 is 5,731 ± 60 K, and our Sun is 5,800 K, so I guess it is a G-something. None of the exoplanet archives or stellar archives give any spectral info or even estimate luminosity. Life is hard.
Hill sphere calculations tomorrow. That was a surprise.
Hmmm . . .
Thought provoking, indeed. Thanks.
2018-Nov-06, 01:50 PM #4
Attached are the Hill sphere calculations, with comparative data for Earth. I was stunned to see how compacted the Hill sphere is for K-1656 b, as a result of its extreme eccentricity and closeness to its sun. Earth has a bigger Hill sphere.
Here is a quote from the Wikipedia page on Hill spheres: "True region of stability: The Hill sphere is only an approximation, and other forces (such as radiation pressure or the Yarkovsky effect) can eventually perturb an object out of the sphere. This third object should also be of small enough mass that it introduces no additional complications through its own gravity. Detailed numerical calculations show that orbits at or just within the Hill sphere are not stable in the long term; it appears that stable satellite orbits exist only inside 1/2 to 1/3 of the Hill radius. The region of stability for retrograde orbits at a large distance from the primary, is larger than the region for prograde orbits at a large distance from the primary. This was thought to explain the preponderance of retrograde moons around Jupiter; however, Saturn has a more even mix of retrograde/prograde moons so the reasons are more complicated."
I have no located references to all of the above data, but I included reduced Hill sphere values in the attachment, at the far right end. Earth's Moon, as can be seen, is well within the minimal fractional value for the Hill sphere.

Kepler-1656b: a Dense Sub-Saturn With an Extreme Eccentricity
Madison T. Brady, et al. (Submitted on 22 Sep 2018)
QUOTES: Kepler-1656b has a mass of 48.6 +4.2/-3.8 M-earth, making it one of the most massive sub-Saturns known. Its high mass also implies a high density, which at... 2.13 +0:87/-0:57 g cm-3 makes Kepler-1656b one of the densest sub-Saturns known and denser than any gaseous object in the solar system.
Following Petigura et al. (2017a), we quantified the core and envelope fractions of Kepler-1656b using the Lopez & Fortney (2014) planet structure models, which assume an Earth composition core and a envelope of primordial H/He. In the sub-Saturn size range, derived envelope fractions are not sensitive to the precise composition of the core (Petigura et al. 2016). Under these assumptions, we found that 82 +/- 6% of the planet's mass is in the core. This value is on the high end of what is observed among sub-Saturns.
Given the above, it's sure that Kepler-1656 b has a thick atmosphere, but I cannot guess how deep it goes. This is important in sorting out Roche limits above the planet's surface.
Given how hot the planet gets and how close to its sun, my guess is that no volatiles remain on any satellites it has, if it has any, so its moons are rocky.
Comparing the Roche limit table with the Hill sphere table to get outer and inner margins for moon orbits....
...the orbital range is extremely narrow and open only to stony, ice-free moons. Taking a conservative stance, the maximum stable altitude above K-1656 b's core would be 58,238.51 km (0.3 Hill sphere radius), down to whatever maximum height to which the atmosphere will rise at perihelion. It is expected that the atmosphere will expand at perihelion, with air drag pulling down moons that get too close, in the same way that human spacecraft will enter Earth's atmosphere and decay when the Earth warms and the atmosphere height increases during periods of increase solar activity. The Roche limit for a basalt-density moon is 21,000-22,000 km above K-1656b's core.
This is a really narrow range. Could moons form naturally in this range around a massive world subjected to massive impacts in its past?
We do have the example of Uranus. It was likely smacked with an Earth-size impactor to cause it to tilt, and satellites could have sprung from such a collision. If it worked for planet Uranus, it might have worked for K-1656 b, but again the range of stable orbits is pretty narrow.
https://arxiv.org/abs/1208.4685
NOTE: Explaining why the Uranian satellites have equatorial prograde orbits despite the large planetary obliquity
Alessandro Morbidelli, Kleomenis Tsiganis, Konstantin Batygin, Aurelien Crida, Rodney Gomes (Submitted on 23 Aug 2012)
We show that the existence of prograde equatorial satellites is consistent with a collisional tilting scenario for Uranus. In fact, if the planet was surrounded by a proto-satellite disk at the time of the tilting and a massive ring of material was temporarily placed inside the Roche radius of the planet by the collision, the proto-satellite disk would have started to precess incoherently around the equator of the planet, up to a distance greater than that of Oberon. Collisional damping would then have collapsed it into a thin equatorial disk, from which the satellites eventually formed. The fact that the orbits of the satellites are prograde requires Uranus to have had a non-negligible initial obliquity (comparable to that of Neptune) before it was finally tilted to 98 degrees.
In the end, as eccentric as K-1656 b is, it's hard to see anything big surviving around it. My guess is that any moons it has are caught in resonance with the planet's perihelion with its sun; if they get too close to perfect resonance, they might get pulled out of orbit and crash into K-1656 b. The moons would have to be tidally locked to face K-1656 b as our Moon faces Earth.
Was just thinking that K-1656 b itself would be in captured resonance with its sun, either in a 1:1 or 3:2 spin-orbit capture, like Mercury (3:2).
https://www.swpc.noaa.gov/impacts/satellite-drag
This NOAA segment on satellite drag is important when looking at debris in orbit around K-1656 b when it reaches perihelion and its atmosphere reaches maximum expansion, and during periods of solar storms on Kepler-1656 itself. I doubt this planet has a ring system or much small debris around it, all cleaned up long ago.

This is weird. New paper came out discussing new mass-radius relations. Check out the graphs on pages 7 & 9. Kepler-1565 b is WAY off the graph for anything. Wow.
Predicting Exoplanets Mass and Radius: A Nonparametric Approach

It shows separate results for mass as a function of radius, M(R), and radius as a function of mass, R(M). The curves are close, but somewhat different. From Planetary Fact Sheet - Ratio to Earth (radius, mass):
Mercury (0.383,0.0553), Mars (0.532,0.107), Venus (0.949,0.815), Earth (1,1), Neptune (3.88,17.1), Uranus (4.01,14.5), Saturn (9.45,95.2), Jupiter (11.21,317.8).
Jupiter and Saturn are right on the dot for both M(R) and R(M), but Uranus and Neptune are more massive than average for M(R) and about right for R(M). Venus and the Earth are about right for both, but both planets are where the data get scanty.
Kepler-1565 b is (5.02+0.53-0.53, 48.6 4.2-3.8) and that's well off from the average for both M(R) and R(M).
I will now estimate equilibrium temperatures. I will use a naive equilibrium estimate that assumes uniform heating and uniform reradiation, both with the same albedo. That estimate gives 278 K or 5 C for the Earth, close to our actual value of 15 C.
Kepler-1565 b has a mean distance of 0.197 AU and an eccentricity of 0.844, and it orbits between 0.031 and 0.363 AU, giving equilibrium temperatures of 480 K, 650 K, and 1700 K. If the planet has moons, they must be rocky ones.
The Hill-sphere stability limit corresponds to an unperturbed period of sqrt(3) or 1.732 times less than the planet's orbit period, assuming a circular orbit. For an eccentric orbit, one must use the period corresponding to the planet's closest distance, and that is 1.95 days.
Using the Hill-sphere limit as a guide, one can construct an empirical estimate using the Solar System's moons. I have done so, and by that estimate, Jupiter has the farthest moons.
Jupiter's period: 4332.59 d, eccentricity: 0.0489, perihelion-distance period: 4018.71 d
S/2003 J 2 (lost, retrograde): period 981.55 d, ratio 4.09
Megaclite (XIX, retrograde): period 792.44 d, ratio 5.07
Valetudo (LXII, direct); period 532.00 d, ratio 7.55
Using Valetudo's period ratio, Kepler-1565 b's farthest stable moon would have a period of 0.26 days or 6.2 hours. With Megaclite's, that becomes 0.38 days or 9.2 hours.
I will now calculate the lower limit of the period that a moon of Kepler-1565 b can possibly have. This is the surface-satellite period, and for the Earth, it is 1.41, and for this planet, 2.3 hours. There is not much of a range between that value and the period limits that I derived from Jupiter's outermost moons.
Doing the inner limit more carefully requires working with the Roche limit. That limit's radius is (some factor) * (planet radius) ((planet density) / (moon density))^(1/3). For a rigid sphere, that factor is 1.260 (gravity-only) and 1.442 (with synchronous rotation), while for a fluid, it is 2.423 (gravity-only) and 2.455 (with synchronous rotation).
The planet's mean density is 2.16 g/cm^3, and that of the Earth's upper mantle is 3.5 g/cm^3. Stony meteorites vary, but that is a rough average for them also. Using 3.5 g/cm^3 as a plausible best case, the surface-satellite period is 1.8 hours and the Roche limits are 3 hours (rigid) and 7 hours (fluid or rubble pile). For a moon density the same as the planet's density, the numbers become 4 hours and 9 hours.
A solid-rock moon may be able to orbit Kepler-1565 b, but a rubble-pile one would not be able to.
Weird planet for sure. Thank you!

This paper just came out, and from my reading it appears to well explain the existence of Kepler-1656b as the result of multiple planetary collisions.
Signatures of a planet-planet impacts phase in exoplanetary systems hosting giant planets
Renata Frelikh, Hyerin Jang, Ruth A. Murray-Clay, Cristobal Petrovich (Submitted on 7 Jun 2019)
Exoplanetary systems host giant planets on substantially non-circular, close-in orbits. We propose that these eccentricities arise in a phase of giant impacts, analogous to the final stage of Solar System assembly that formed Earth's Moon. In this scenario, the planets scatter each other and collide, with corresponding mass growth as they merge. We numerically integrate an ensemble of systems with varying total planet mass, allowing for collisional growth, to show that (1) the high-eccentricity giants observed today may have formed preferentially in systems of higher initial total planet mass, and (2) the upper bound on the observed giant planet eccentricity distribution is consistent with planet-planet scattering. We predict that mergers will produce a population of high-mass giant planets between 1 and 5 au from their stars.

WASHINGTON (CNS) — "Witnesses to Freedom" is the theme of the U.S. bishops' fifth annual Fortnight for Freedom, which opens June 21, the vigil of the feast of Sts. Thomas More and John Fisher, and closes on Independence Day, July 4.
The opening Mass will be celebrated at 7 p.m. (EDT) in Baltimore at the Basilica of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, with Baltimore Archbishop William E. Lori as the principal celebrant and the homilist. Archbishop Lori is chairman of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops' Ad Hoc Committee for Religious Liberty.
The closing Mass will be celebrated at noon (EDT) the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washington. Cardinal Donald W. Wuerl of Washington will be the principal celebrant, and Pittsburgh Bishop David A. Zubik will be the homilist.
"Zubik" is the name given to the court case brought by many Catholic and other religious entities, including the Pittsburgh Diocese, to challenge the federal requirement that all employers, including most religious employers, provide employee health coverage of contraceptives and abortifacients even if they are morally opposed to such coverage.
The legal challenge, which the U.S. Supreme Court sent back to the lower courts May 16, has been a flashpoint in the U.S. church's fight on religious liberty issues.
The Fortnight for Freedom is "based on love of country and of liberty," according to the USCCB. The aim is to "encourage Catholics, other Christians and all people of goodwill to set aside two weeks to reflect on religious freedom," it said.
This year the USCCB — along with Jesuit-run Stonyhurst College in the Diocese of Lancashire, England — is coordinating a U.S. tour of relics of Sts. Thomas More and John Fisher to promote respect for religious liberty. Both were executed by King Henry VIII for their Catholic beliefs.
The relics will go to Miami, Baltimore, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, Minnesota, Denver, Phoenix, Los Angeles and Washington.
— Blessed Oscar Romero, the slain archbishop of San Salvador.
— The Little Sisters of the Poor, the order at the forefront of the court fight against the contraceptive mandate.
— The Martyrs of Compiegne, France. The 16 Carmelites were guillotined during the French Revolution for defying the government's suppression of their monastery.
— The Coptic Christians who were killed by Islamic State militants last year.
"Reflecting on the lives of these great men and women can show us how we might serve as witnesses to freedom today," said the USCCB statement on the 2016 Fortnight for Freedom.
Information about the fortnight and various resources to help plan local observances are available online at www.Fortnight4Freedom.com.
The USCCB suggests several ways parishes can celebrate the fortnight, including by holding a prayer vigil for religious freedom, organizing a study group on religious freedom issues and hosting a parish picnic to celebrate religious freedom.

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is used as the umbrella term to describe the Traditional Arts of Chinese Medicine. This includes acupuncture, herbal and dietary medicine, tui Na (massage) and qi gong (exercise/meditation). TCM theory evolved after five element theory and its development was highly influenced by herbal medicine.
TCM developed with the influence of taoist and naturalist beliefs, the central premise of which is that we live in a universe in which everything is connected. This influence creates a system of medicine that is very integrated and holistic in its approach. It understands the mind and body as connected with one part of the body affecting another. Organs and organ systems are viewed as interconnected structures that work together to keep the body functioning.
TCM is the most common form of acupuncture practiced in both the UK and mainland China. Most research that is carried out is to discover the benefits and effects of TCM acupuncture and western protocol acupuncture which is developing from this.


4. Turn left to Greenbelt 5 Basement Parking or turn left to Legazpi Street for Greenbelt 5 drop-off point.
The place has the feel of a fine dining establishment (a little classy) but had too many of its wait staff congregating near the bar. It looked more contemporary with hints of Japanese culture fused into the design.
Kai offers contemporary Japanese Cuisine with some American dishes and Steaks mixed into the menu.
We were having a late dinner and while waiting for the rest of the crew, we ordered Maguro "Tuna" Sashimi - 5 slices (Php220). The Tuna was fresh and served in an appetizing manner, in fact it was so appetizing someone ate a slice before we were able to take a picture! But yes, they do serve 5 slices; someone was just faster than the one taking the picture!
The wait staff recommended Lychee Shake with Lime (Php80) surprisingly the shake went well with the dishes we had for the evening. Primarily, sashimi and rolls.
When the rest of the group arrived, we ordered Hamachi "Yellowtail" (Php360), Horse Mackarel "Aji" (Php180), and Salmon "Shake" (Php220) Sashimi – 5 Slices of each order. The sashimi were really good, you can taste the freshness in every slice. But the slices were a little thick for us. The entire bunch would have been better served in 6 slices rather than the 5-slice order. Then again we were only paying for 5 slices, so we really didn't think of complaining much.
We tried Kai's Dragon Roll (Php 240) since it sounded cool! We were not disappointed. The roll slices were just the right size and the combination of the ingredients mixed well with one another. And again, the group was faster than the one taking the picture!
We saw a Jumbo Prawn Tempura Roll (Php390) and we just had to order it as well! We are sure glad we did. The Tempura roll slices were a little big and almost missed the point of being bite-sized(!), but we have to say the roll tasted great.
Kai's Soft Shell Crab Roll "Spider Roll"
Our last roll for the night is a Soft Shell Crab Roll "Spider Roll" (Php330). We loved the old presentation better than the current one, we have to say, however, that the current order offers more pieces. Not to take anything away from the great taste, but the slices of the roll are a little too big for comfort. We had to take two bites to finish one slice/piece.
And our only non-sashimi/roll order for the night was Kai's Cha Soba (Php270) with Ebi Tempura - 2 pieces (Php140). This was truly a delightful experience. Cha Soba is cold "soba" noodles that you dip in a sauce. The combination with the Ebi (Shrimp) Tempura added the flavor that the soba lacked. Where else can you eat soba deliberately served cold right?
We started dessert with Kai's Peanut Butter Chocolate Bar (Php110) which was very disappointing. This dessert was too sweet for us. You could hardly taste the peanut butter and the chocolate has vanished due to the sweetness of the chocolate bar that made it almost tasteless.
The Banana Nutella Harumaki (Php180) is Kai's version of the banana split with the bananas cut into 4 small slices and rolled in a sesame filo and topped with small "tablespoon" scoops of vanilla, chocolate, caramel and strawberry ice cream. It is slightly better than then the Chocolate bar, if you like the taste of sesame and ice cream, this one is for you.
We were a little disappointed with the two desserts so we had to order our all-time favorite Tofu Cheesecake (Php180). We know what you are thinking, how could you mix tofu and cheesecake to make it work? Trust us, you have to taste it to believe it. The texture is unlike any of the cheesecake you've tasted before. Truly one of the best cheesecakes we've tasted so far.
One of us had to abstain from this one due to personal issues (ahem!) and had to suffer a disappointing dessert the rest of the night, but the rest of us had a blast.
A budget of Php400-Php1000 should be adequate to try some of Kai's offerings.
For more of Kai's menu, you can check it out here.
5.5: We have to say the desserts, apart form the Tofu Cheesecake, were disappointing. The wait staff congregating at the bar was an eyesore and one of the wait staff was overly eager in cleaning up our table that she took the tempura sauce away just as one of us was about to dip in it! But overall, the wait staff were courteous, though a little lost and distracted at times. The overall experience was good. The food is a little pricey, but they have some great dishes. The roll slices should be reduced and the desserts improved, but the Tofu Cheesecake is a must try.

Construction site workers deserve prevailing wages
Due before the Kansas Senate today is discussion on a bill to deny communities the right to set prevailing wage rates.
Senators should resist the urge to play Big Brother.
FOR A LONG time, Kansas was a leader in workers' rights. In 1891, it became the first state to set a base rate of pay to local workers for public works projects. The wage laws prevented large companies from under-bidding local contractors. They also included minimum labor standards such as eight-hour workdays and benefits. The thinking behind establishing the threshold was not only to attract highly skilled laborers but also to prevent workers from being abused by industrialists who began lowering wages and demanding longer working days. While they were at it, Republicans of the day also wrote child labor laws and made getting an education compulsory.
Almost 100 years later, Kansas lawmakers repealed the law in 1987, saying it would save on construction costs — much the same argument made today. A result was Kansas construction workers saw an average 11 percent drop in their wages over several years' time; employer contributions to benefit plans declined and apprenticeship training declined by almost 40 percent.
The expected savings in construction costs were not realized because,
a) Lawmakers thought they could expect a 50 percent savings on total construction costs. Nationwide, labor costs are typically 25 to 30 percent of total production costs. In Kansas, they average closer to 20 percent; and,
b) Productivity was reduced due to a less-skilled workforce because of the cut in apprenticeship programs. Typically, union contractors pay for training through a collective bargaining agreement. Without that coverage, workers are less likely to seek training if they have to pay for it themselves.
CURRENT LAW allows municipalities to insist a company pay prevailing wages.
Joe Reardon, mayor of the Unified Government of Wyandotte and Kansas City, Kan., credits the pay scale rule as to how it secured $600 million in commercial development over the last several years, including the Kansas Speedway, Hollywood Casino and Village West. Wyandotte County ranked first in the metropolitan area for job growth during the past year, according to a recent story in the Topeka Capital-Journal.
Paying good wages encourages economic growth, Reardon said.
The Kansas League of Municipalities, the AFL-CIO, and the City of Topeka side with the pro-growth thinking of Wyandotte County, as well as J.E. Dunn, a large construction company that uses union labor and has done many public service contracts.
Leading the fight against the measure are Susan Wagle, president of the Kansas Senate, the Kansas Chamber of Commerce and Crossland Construction, which typically does not use union labor, and has realized more than $200 million in government contracts over the past 10 years, according to Kansas Working Alliance, an advocacy group for Kansas workers.
What muddies the water on the legislation, or perhaps clears it, is the connection between those against the legislation and those who make the laws.
The Crossland family tree has deep roots in the Kansas Legislature.
The chairman of the Kansas Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors is Ivan Crossland, also president of Crossland Construction. Among Crossland's lobbyists working the Kansas Legislature is Riley Scott, son-in-law to Wagle, Senate president.
These familial connections only serve to put a greater burden on Wagle that the legislation is designed to serve all Kansans, and not just those around her dinner table. Let's hope she feels the weight.

Deadly Cut is one of the available sword Combat Styles in Armed With Wings 3, taught by Lady Eivana to her son Leo, which both have mastered it. The fighting style features a 4-step combo for Eivana, and 6 step for Leo. This is more dangerous than Balanced Swing but less than God Cutter.
The major flaw of Deadly Cut for Leo is the reliance of non-charged attacks, which the ground attacks are quite prone to counter attacks and damage output is not enough. Eivana mastered completely different flows, able to bash away enemies with ease and ambush from air.

Book reviews for teens and tweens.
The Best Moments In Reading Are When You Come Across Something- A Thought, A Feeling, A Way At Looking At Things- Which You Had Thought Special And Particular To You. And Now, Here It Is, Set Down By Someone Else, A Person You Have Never Met, Someone Who Is Even Long Dead. And It Is As If A Hand Has Come Out, And Taken Yours.
Five Centuries Ago, On the Island Now Called Hawaii, There was a Kingdom Filled with Adventure, Beauty, and Magic. When 16-year-old Prince Ailani and his brother Nahoa trespass on a forbidden burial ground and uncover an ancient tiki mask, they unleash a thousand-year-old curse that threatens to destroy their tropical paradise. As warring factions collide for control of Oceana, it sparks an age-old conflict between rival sorcerers that threatens to erupt-just like Mauna Kea, the towering volcano. With the help of his ancestral spirit animals, his shape shifting sidekick, and a beautiful princess, Prince Ailani must overcome his own insecurities, a lifetime of sibling rivalry, and a plague of cursed sea creatures brought forth by the tiki's spell. Can peace be restored to the kingdom? Can Prince Ailani claim his rightful place as the future king of Oceana? ONLY ONE CAN RULE.
One of the hardest things about writing, is creating a setting with enough detail to seem vivid and vibrant, but not too much as not to bore the reader. This book was a perfect balance and every single time something was described or a feature of something was explored you felt like there was a reason behind it. I have never been to Hawaii, yet the setting intrigued me and made me feel like I was in a place I have never actually been to. An author that manages to successfully convey something like this, is therefore a master in creating a good setting. What I thought was very clever, was how he used words from the language that the characters in the book used since it helped us understand the culture they were from.
I thought the idea of having a "guardian animal" was super cute, and made the overall aesthetic feel a lot more "customizable" if that makes sense. As for the main characters, I feel like a had a problem with how static they were. Yes, they were well written, however most of them remained the same throughout the book. Take Ailani's older brother that is destined to be king as an example. While making the future king slightly evil is an interesting writer's choice, I feel like Nahoa didn't really evolve at all. He remained the spoiled brat and it was clear he was not meant to be king. I don't feel like that's even a spoiler alert since it's so obvious due to the fact that The Kingdom of Oceana is kind of like a Disney movie. Actually as a fact, it's quite similar to Disney's new movie Moana. Except of course, the main character is male. The island is also quite literally the definition of "exotic", which makes the story a lot more fun.
3.5 Stars, the book didn't get the full set of points because of not enough character development, as well as not static enough characters. Points for the setting and immersion into the story.
Because Annie has no recollection of her birth parents, her life is full of unknowns. Still, she seems relatively content with her simple existence in Washington, DC. Marcus, her new Italian boyfriend, adds much desired spice to her life despite secrecy about his position at SecureVest. But when Annie becomes mysteriously ill, it is the catalyst for a life far from simple. Seemingly by luck, Annie discovers that she is maturing into a dhampir (a vampire/human hybrid), and to survive she must feed on fresh human blood. With Marcus fully aware of Annie's predicament, they concoct a scheme: find the evil living among us and act where justice does not. Vigilante Annie is born. In trying to adjust to her new life, Annie feels like a stranger in an unfamiliar land. Because Annie yearns to belong, she confides in father-figure Larry. When Annie finds out her friend Elisa works at SecureVest, where Marcus is employed, things unravel beyond control, and forgotten years from Annie's childhood make themselves known piece by piece. Will Annie be able to satisfy her body's cravings and stay alive? Who wants to use her for their own agenda? Can Annie trust Elisa's friends? Will she ever have the chance to meet her mother? In the end, will Annie be a slave to those who would use her, or will she have an opportunity for a freedom she has never known?
Annie is a half-vampire that needs human blood to survive. No-one except her Italian boyfriend Marcus knows this, and to keep Annie Scarlotte safe Marcus builds a luxurious hideout in a no-longer-used storage shelter. Whilst not capable of restraining herself from fresh blood, she decides to only feed on evil humans that have caused pain and suffering for others, such as terrorists, murderers, and other criminals. Annie therefore finds these types of people and then uses their blood to feed, living in situation where she can't trust anyone including closest friends.
I have never read a vampire book. Ever. I'm not sure whether I was just not up to the challenge of reading about a character that seems to outright split YA fans apart. Vampires have over time become very prevalent in many popular YA pieces, however each author seems to choose to portray these characters very differently. Some are evil, some are old, some are teens, some are mysterious, some are celebrities. Since vampires aren't new characters necessarily as they have been used for centuries in more classical literature, the authors instead of making them up and their world as they go, instead choose to simply build up on it. This causes vampires as characters, be quite complex, with many rules of what they can and can't do, and also gives the author a chance to decide whether he wants "his" vampire/s to be more traditional in a sense (allergic to garlic and sunshine for example) or if he wants to introduce new rules and say for example that the old ones aren't real. This specific book's author Robert Kimbrell decides to do the lather however his way of doing it is to make the vampire in his story as relatable as possible, the easiest way to do this is to introduce a half-vampire. Or dhampirs as they're called in this book. The main character is one, and this allows us to understand her more as a character, we feel how scared and anxious she is about turning into one, but at the same time feels exhilarated since she's a mythical creature with powers.
The plot as well as Annie's universe had a lot of plot holes, relating to the way dhampirs and vampires lived. One of them for example was for example why the people bitten by Annie Scarlotte don't turn into vampires themselves, defeating the entire purpose of Annie reason to kill them in the first place. The author maybe has decided that people killed by vampires don't turn into vampires, yet he never clarified. He also never tells us the differences between vampires and dhampirs nor what things about them are myths. He briefly mentions dhampirs not being able to be killed by wooden stakes and the sun however we never are told whether this also applies to vampires?
I also didn't like how the book decided to go political and out of nowhere started talking about how everything was interconnected making it sound like a conspiracy theory, and how the government was against us and the people in charge were all evil or not approved by the "Stonefish" or the organization Annie Scarlotte is part of. I came here for a short YA novel about vampires and dhampirs, not a 400 page-piece including how the government was against us all and a very vivid account of a terrorist beheading his daughter because she did something against Allah. I don't know, that part just really bothered me, it did not at all seem suitable for a YA novel which was what is was marketed as?
The actual story and ending, while infused with clichès, didn't feel forced, the story just kind of went on, changing from character to character if a single one was talking for too long and kept changing the scenery and the point of view which was refreshing and insured I didn't get bored. While being very complex, it usually was descriptive enough to not confuse the reader about what was happening which was great. Although I felt that there were too many new characters being introduced all the time which after time built up confusion.
One thing this book was really good at was creating atmosphere and scenery. The vivid descriptions of the clothing and the way a character looked were great and well thought out. I also liked how Annie Scarlotte decided to only take out the people that had done bad things instead of preying on the innocent, it just made a lot more sense than killing whoever was nearest including family members which is what happens in many vampire/dhampir novels.
An okay-fast-paced read, if you want something quick that you can return to after longer periods of time.


England ended Ireland's 12 game unbeaten run in emphatic fashion at Aviva Stadium on Saturday securing a bonus point victory.
Powered over the line for a try in the first and was strong in the scrums. Made all 7 of his attempted tackles and carried the ball 9 times.
Relatively solid at set pieces and was good in the rucks. Missed his jumper on one occasion and made 8 tackles.
Battled hard up front making 7 tackles and had a tidy day at the office in the front row. He fought hard to earn ever extra yard he possibly could.
Was a solid lineout option, as per usual, made his tackles and carried the ball 4 times before he left the field before the hour mark.
Industrious and at times destructive. Applied the pressure on the England lineout and weighed in with some hefty tackles.
Never seems to have a bad game in the green jersey. Got stuck into the English pack but wasn't as effective as he usually is at the breakdown.
Made a mamoth 17 tackles without missing a single one! Came up with a clean steal and disrupted England's attack with his work at the breakdown.
Emptied his tunk at Aviva Stadium making 17 tackles, one turnover and 9 carries in just over an hour before he earned himself a well deserved breather.
Stander got stuck in physically and was one of the best Irish forwards on the night.
His passes were crisp as too was his kicking but the Irish halfback was unable to inspire a comeback. Looked right at home on the test stage despite missing the November Internationals.
A somewhat off night for the World Rugby Player of the Year in 2018. His kicking from the tee was accurate as ever but a few of his up and unders were slightly overcooked. Another rare error saw him kick out on the full in the second half and he threw a poor pass that Henry Slade picked off to score his second.
Stockdale's work on attack saves his rating somewhat as he finished the game with the most running metres and beat 4 defenders but the youngster was caught out of position on occasion.
He also slipped up to allow Elliot Daly to score a try much like the one in the France-Wales game on Friday.
A few handling erros and failing to get Ireland on the front foot on attack hampers Aki's rating. The Irish centre was relatively solid defensively.
Made a massive hit at a crucial time for Ireland early in the second half when England looked dangerous. Had one or two handling errors when Ireland looked to strike.
Ringrose beat more defenders than any other player in the match (6) and made 33 running metres.
Picked up few knocks in the first half from the likes of Tom Curry and Maro Itoje and was substituted at the break. While on the pitch he was excellent in the air and in defence but didn't get much to work with on attack.
Came to Ireland's rescue in the first half with some great cover work under immense pressure. Look comfortable at fullback and could be a genuine option at fullback for Joe Schmidt's side. He also had an excellent leap in the air near the touchline to keep the ball in.
Got around the park brilliantly in the first half both on attack and on defence.
He went on to finish the match with a mammoth 25 tackles and 11 carries. He held his own in the scrums time and was named man of the match for his efforts.
Pinpoint with his lineout throws and was solid in the scrum. He missed just 1 of his 13 attempted tackles - that was his first missed tackle since the second test against South Africa last year. A strong performance from the England front rower.
Got stuck in exactly as you'd expect. He was solid against a tough customer in Cian Healy and made all of his attempted tackles. Overall a strong performance from the tighthead.
Can count himself lucky that he didn't get sent to the bin for a tackle on Keith Earls in the first half. He went on to make 9 tackles, a turnover and 6 carries before he limped off 10 minutes after half time.
Was a great option in the lineouts and weighed in with 11 tackles. Was taken off in the 50th minute.
Made a great tackle on Ringrose that earned his side a crucial penalty. Made numerous thumping hits in the latter stages of the match and could be in line for a start next week.
Another workman like performance from the Newcastle flanker. He did all the hard graft making over 20 tackles and won three turnovers for his side.
His poor tackle that saw him get sent to the bin aside, Curry had a great game for England stiffling numerous Irish attacks. He was another English forward that relished the physical battle hit double digits in the tackle count.
He also got up to charge down a Sexton kick.
Vunipola carried well for England throughout the game. His tackling was superb and he was a threat at the breakdown.
There were some question marks around Youngs' game but the English halfback answered his critics with a superb performance at the Aviva Stadium. His box kicks were well executed and his passing was on point.
Farrell controlled the game brilliantly with his kicks putting Ireland under pressure. He scored 12 points off the tee and made 10 tackles. His decision making and temperment was key to England's success as too was his leadership.
The English winger was all over the pitch for 73 minutes. He drifted in field making some testing runs and got stuck into the breakdown both on attack and defence. He was strong on defence and made 56 running metres on attack.
Numerous massive carries and tackles. Tuilagi provided the front football that England needed in the absence of Ben Te'o and looked right at home in the starting line up in what was his first start since 2014.
Whether it was on attack or defence, Henry Slade was brilliant. He made some crucial tackles when Ireland looked dangerous. He run superb support lines on attack and was rewarded for his effort thanks to a chip kick by Jonny May.
His defensive work was also rewarded in the closing stages when he picked off Johnny Sexton's pass.
May brilliantly finished off the first try of the match and went on to have a superb game. He was safe under the high ball and contested well in that area too. He did well to set up Henry Slade for his try and racked up 41 running metres.
Had a hand in the opening try of the game for Jonny May when he showed off his hands to get his fellow outside back in space. He followed that up with a pressure kick that Jacob Stockdale spilt resulting in a try.
Spilt one or two high balls that he really should have taken but otherwise a solid performance in the 15 jersey.

"We have nothing to envy in the world" () is a common phrase in North Korean propaganda.

Usage of the phrase
The phrase was used in the gift packets the North Korean children receive during the Day of the Sun and Day of the Shining Star events since the 1970s. The phrase was also the title of a performance in North Korea commemorating the 70th anniversary of the Korean Children's Union in 2016. In a rock in Mount Kumgang the lyrics to the song with the same phrase is inscribed which was done commemorating the 25th anniversary of the Korean Children's Union in 1972. The phrase was also written on the one North Korean won.

Works inspired from the phrase

Song

The song was composed in 1961 by North Korean composer Kim Hyuk. The song was commonly sung during the 1980s but were not sung for a long time due to the North Korean famine in the 1990s until it was revived at the World Children's Day event in 2016.
The song received the Kim Jong-il Prize and Kim Il-sung Prize in May 2016. According to the Daily NK, the song's lyrics are reported to be parodied among the North Koreans.

Film
The film was made in 1970, and was produced by Pak Hak who directed the North Korean film The Flower Girl. The film incorporated Choi Seung-hee's version of the Buchaechum that was created in 1970 with the order of Kim Jong-il. The film is considered in North Korea as one of the greatest examples of films where the bangchang technique is applied.

Gems, unicorns, hearts, oh my! This iridescent unicorn birthday party not only features our favorite magical creature, but also so many more girly elements – it's practically 3 themes in 1 – and we aren't complaining! Royale from But First, Party! and Rachel from Bonjour Fete teamed up for Rachel's daughter's sixth birthday bash. When it came to theme and activities, they followed the birthday girl's wishes (as it should be!). She chose the unicorns and gems and also wanted to decorate cakes – we think this gal is going to grow up to be quite the party planner herself!
I helped my bestie and party-partner-in-crime create this awesome party for her daughter's sixth birthday! Audrey wanted a unicorn, gem, cake decorating party (haha) and so we did our best to marry all of these fun themes into one cohesive party concept! We kept the palette pretty pastel forward and included unicorn and gem shaped elements through the party ware! Our favorite moments were the '6' balloon installation and the cake decorating with fancy sprinkles.
WOW this is too cute!
OMG! Can this be my party please??

Sailing by default is not gender centric, but you wouldn't be mistaken for picturing the male dominating figure, standing behind the tiller, adorning the captain's hat and moustache. It's these stereotypes that women such as Pip O'Sullivan are helping to steer away from by taking on the prestigious ocean challenge – the 2017 Clipper Round the World Race.
To commemorate International Women's Day, we met with self-admitted novice female sailor Pip, who's about to embark on one of the world's toughest ocean racing challenge. A 28 year-old digital marketing executive and one of 20 on a circumnavigating 70-foot racing yacht, she will set sail in the summer against 12 other vessels. Now in its 11th year, the 40,000 mile Clipper Race gives non-professional sailors the opportunity to "conquer the Everest of the Seas", describes Sir Robin Knox-Johnston, the founder of the race.
Pip's limited time out on the water has not put her off sailing though and says she is looking forward to the 11 month race to six continents, three capes, and six ocean crossings. For her, the biggest challenge will be sharing a small space with a crew of strangers, but with a determined attitude she hopes that resilient patience will get her through it.
Sailing Millie Home met with Pip in the corporate heart of Londons' business district, Canary Wharf, to find out how she is preparing for a drastic change in lifestyle and handle the ridiculous 14,515m of rope needed to rig one of the sailing yachts during the race.
What are you most looking forward to about the voyage?
Pip I'm looking forward to being in the middle of an ocean and having nothing around me, just the elements, the nature, the wildlife. I had a little experience like that on my level two training when I was on watch in the middle of the night. It was pouring with rain, there was massive waves and I was sitting on the fore deck so I was in-charge of trimming the sails, there was a full moon, and I was just leaning back – cold and wet – and thinking this is really amazing. Just being surrounded completely by nature, no phones, no business and you can actually just think properly. So I think it's going to be moments like that.
Pip I think big storms are going to be really scary. If you let any doubt or fear get in your mind it consumes you. I'm all for vocalising positivity like 'we're going to get through this storm', 'we're going to beat this', 'we're going to get the boat through safely'. I'm sure I will have moments where I'm scared, I'm not saying at all that I won't be, but it's having that bravery to get through it.
What about leaving behind modern comforts?
Pip I don't mind, I'm quite happy to not wear makeup. I can't wait for that! To be non materialistic as well, which is ironic given how expensive sailing is as a sport.I think once you've got your basics though, which I've got, it's not about being driven by needing new things. I think I fall into that, not because I think it's a big a part of me, but naturally, especially living in London where you're surrounded by people who need to go on holiday and have the latest phone.
What has kept you motivated in light of the wet and cold conditions you will soon be facing?
Pip I think finishing. I think the feeling of getting into port having crossed an ocean is going to be amazing, like a massive sense of achievement. I think that's what is going to keep me going, and having family and friends in port to see me. I'm very close to my family and friends and that will be one of the hardest things, leaving them. But I know they will keep me going.
What position will you have on the boat?
Pip It kind of varies from boat to boat. My understanding is that it's good for you to be able to do everything so that you can step in if someone is ill, but you do fall into a certain role that you're good at. For example, if you have an engineering background then you will probably end up being the engineer and make sure the engine and water tank works. There are specific sailing roles like: helming (steering the boat), trimming (trimming the sails to make the boat go faster), engineer, sail repair (as the sails get torn quite a lot, which is a big job).
Because sailing as a sport is so dominated by men, do you think other women are intimidated by it?
Pip It makes me want to do it more, personally. There have been a couple of times where I've been one of only two or three female members on a boat of 12 or so and have had experiences where it's been quite sexist, but I've always held my own so if anybody would say "oh, you shouldn't do that" I will say, "well I can, and I will" and will make a point. I mean, I'm not a raging feminist but I am strong enough to do that and I can lift that sail bag and I will. It's more proving it rather than preaching it.
Do you follow or look up to any female sailors?
Pip Yeah, so I remember going to see Ellen MacArthur coming in on her boat in Southampton. Dee Caffari, who was the first women to sail single handedly and non-stop around the world in 2006. I've just been reading her book, she is quite an inspiration. Sport is obviously a big aspect, not outspoken women but people in the media who have something to say. I'm always really interested to listen to stories with a positive note. It's about those that have trained really hard to do something and it's difficult, but they've kept going with that motivation, I find that very inspiring.
It's a longe route, do you think you will continue sailing after the race?
Pip I think it will be very unlikely that I didn't. I don't want to come back and work nine to five in London and I know lot's of people say this before they go on the race and for whatever reason do fall back into it, but I'm adamant that I don't want to do that because I'm trying to get away from this. But I don't know what it is that I'm going to do. I've got a few ideas, it changes on a daily basis but maybe something along the lines of inspirational speaking, maybe training for businesses like teambuilding, I want to write a book, I'd love to coach hockey (laughs), it's just random things.
What would you say to other women contemplating an adventure like this?
Pip Just do it. You've got nothing holding you back, you just have to believe that you can do it. I think being a woman in your late 20s means there is some pressure to start settling down, certainly I have put it on myself. But you don't need to conform and do things in a certain timeframe. We're not living in the Victorian times! It's about having that courage to be different and to do something completely crazy.
Pip will meet the rest of the crew on May 20, they will spend the next three months training together before the race starts in the summer. If you think you're as "mad" as Pip, then applications are still open so why not get your sea legs on.
With strong winds in her sails, we wish Pip all the best!

Q: Dual Boot Ubuntu and Windows on Two Separate Hard Drives I dual booted my desktop with windows first onto a solid state, and then ubuntu onto a normal hard drive. Then I had the problem of not having the option of booting into Windows anymore. I am not sure where it went and I have tried boot-repair. I am pretty sure I did not over write it because I can see the solid state drive in my Ubuntu desktop and it has all the "Windows program files, etc."
Can you help me figure out how to get my boot menu to show both ubuntu and windows?
What are some things I can try at this point?

A: I am not sure if I understand correctly, but if you mean not having to re-install programs, I see several options:

*

*Use Application Mover to migrate them from the HDD to the SSD before formatting Win 7 on the HDD.

*Leave them where they are; (don't format Win 7* on the HDD), and run them from SSD through shortcuts.

*Use portable applications versions when possible, and locate them on the HDD. Also install the application "PortableApps" with it's own Start Menu to access them like installed versions.

*Install new programs (installer versions) on a folder in the HDD.. this may make them slightly slower (probably unnoticeable), but save you space on the SSD.

*For your final question: When you install programs you most always get prompted to decide where you want them installed, so instead of C:\Program files, just change the drive letter to X:\Program files. If you leave Win 7 on the HDD intact, you can keep installing programs there, and the user start menu will go to the X:\Users\your user acct\Application Data\program name. A part of each installation goes to the Windows folder which can't be moved but it's a minimal part.

Leaving Win 7 on HDD intact, you can even keep using the same User Profile folder setting the same folder in the new installation, as the "Users" folder, or the User Profile folder. The larger temps are located in the user folder (C:\Users\Your user acct\Local Settings\Temp and Internet Temp files), the System temp files are in C:\WINDOWS\Temp but system temps are a lot less... and you can clean them regularly through Start\Run\type: "temp" and the System Temp folder opens.

A: Before you do anything further, make sure you have a backup of any information or data that is important to you on either your Windows drive, or your Ubuntu drive.  Reconfiguring your partitions can go horribly wrong, and doing bit-level recovery does not always work.
You may have overwritten your EUFI partition.
You may have changed some of your BIOS, so your computer is not booting to the Windows drive.
Windows does prefer have the first physical drive as it's system drive; I have seen weird behavior from Windows when it is not on the first physical drive.
Grub2 is the usual boot loader for Linux.  There is a lot of documentation on the Internet on using it.  Google is your friend.

Stocks are still lacking the strength to break above their 25-day moving average, which is currently helping improve mortgage bonds. Even if stocks eventually break above this level, they will have the 200 DMA to contend with almost immediately afterwards. The more time stocks spend beneath this critical level, the weaker stocks will become and the more volatility we can expect to see. With many now coming to the realization that we are within a year or two of being in a recession, we can expect to see less enthusiasm over the current economy and more of a cautious approach to help set up for the economy we are heading into.
One of the most fascinating realities of the current economy is that the Fed is committed to continuing their path of gradual rate hikes despite the fear of a recession. With the U.S. economy now having 37 quarters of economic expansion, which is nearing the longest run in history, even the Fed knows that their approach is expediting the path to a recession. However, they want to be in a position of being able to use rate drops to help spur the markets when the time comes. This means they need to adjust rates higher in order to have enough fire power to positively impact the markets. So as the yield curve begins to invert, just know that lower rates will eventually follow. Therefore, consider a no-cost mortgage so you can take advantage of future opportunities when they arise.
If stocks remain beneath their 200 DMA, you can cautiously float. If they reverse, consider securing a rate.

Q: How can I print a stored date using locales? I need to print a stored date (documentDate) in a specific locales format (localeIreland), so far I can only get it to print today's date with cal.getDate() is it possible to get Calendar to  print using a stored date value?
String documentDate = "03/03/2018";
String pattern = "EEEEE MMMMM yyyy";
SimpleDateFormat formatIreland= new SimpleDateFormat(pattern, localeIreland);
Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
System.out.println(formatIreland.format(documentDate));

This will only print out today's date.
System.out.println(formatIreland.format(cal.getDate()));

A:     DateTimeFormatter docDateFormatter = DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("dd/MM/uuuu");

    String documentDate = "03/03/2018";
    DateTimeFormatter formatIreland = DateTimeFormatter.ofLocalizedDate(FormatStyle.FULL)
            .withLocale(localeIreland);
    System.out.println(LocalDate.parse(documentDate, docDateFormatter).format(formatIreland));

On my computer this just printed

Dé Sathairn 3 Márta 2018

Changing the date format from one string to another is a two-step process and generally requires two formatters: You use one formatter for parsing the original string into a date-time object (here a LocalDate) and then the second formatter for formatting into the desired format.
The recommended way of formatting for a particular locale is through the built-in locale-specific formats. This is what the combination of DateTimeFormatter.ofLocalizedDate and withLocale gives you.
If your Irish users insist, you may of course specify a format yourself like you do in the question:
    String pattern = "EEEE MMMM yyyy";
    DateTimeFormatter formatIreland = DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern(pattern, localeIreland);

With this change the output on my computer is

Dé Sathairn Márta 2018

(To me it looks a bit funny without the day of month, but you can have it the way you want.)
I am using and warmly recommending java.time, the modern Java date and time API. The date-time classes you used, SimpleDateFormat and Calendar, are long outdated, and the former in particular notoriously troublesome. The modern classes are so much nicer to work with. And LocalDate seems to match your requirements exactly since it is a date without time-of-day.
Link: Oracle tutorial: Date Time explaining how to use java.time.

A: The accepted Answer by Ole V.V. is correct.
Peruse all localized formats
If you want to peruse all the localized formats for all the known time zones, here is some code to dump example values to console.
Use DateTimeFormatter to automatically localize. To localize, specify:

*

*FormatStyle to determine how long or abbreviated should the string be.

*Locale to determine (a) the human language for translation of name of day, name of month, and such, and (b) the cultural norms deciding issues of abbreviation, capitalization, punctuation, separators, and such.

Example:
Locale locale = Locale.CANADA_FRENCH ;
DateTimeFormatter f = DateTimeFormatter.ofLocalizedDateTime( FormatStyle.FULL ).withLocale( locale );
String output = localDate.format( f );

Specify all format styles.
EnumSet.allOf( FormatStyle.class )

[FULL, LONG, MEDIUM, SHORT]

Collect the Locale objects you want to try. You could get a list of all known locales.
   Locale[] locales = Locale.getAvailableLocales();

Or specify just a few locales.
List < Locale > locales = new ArrayList <>( 3 );
locales.add( Locale.CANADA_FRENCH );       // French, Québec Canada
locales.add( new Locale( "ga" , "IE" ) );  // Irish, Ireland
locales.add( new Locale( "en" , "IE" ) );  // English, Ireland
locales.add( Locale.US );                  // English, United States

Complete example code.
LocalDate ld = LocalDate.of( 2018 , Month.MARCH , 23 );

List < Locale > locales = new ArrayList <>( 3 );
locales.add( Locale.CANADA_FRENCH );
locales.add( new Locale( "ga" , "IE" ) );
locales.add( new Locale( "en" , "IE" ) );
locales.add( Locale.US );

for ( Locale locale : locales )
{
    System.out.println( "------|  LOCALE: " + locale + " — " + locale.getDisplayName() + "  |----------------------------------" + System.lineSeparator() );

    for ( FormatStyle style : EnumSet.allOf( FormatStyle.class ) )
    {
        DateTimeFormatter f = DateTimeFormatter.ofLocalizedDate( style ).withLocale( locale );
        String output = ld.format( f );
        System.out.println( output );
    }
    System.out.println( "" );
}
System.out.println( "« fin »" + System.lineSeparator() );

Output for our few locales.

I personally don't think so and I couldn't be more supportive of women's issues.
https://thehustle.co/hint-is-multi-million-dollar-business
Francesca Tamellini
It depends entirely on your relationship and the tone you use. If a good friend called me it, I would have no problem. If my boss did it and had a different attitude to the male staff then yes, it would be sexist. Every word depends on its context.
Depends entirely who you're speaking to - if it's your grandaughter no worries for example - if it's a work colleague it could be taken as demeaning and sexist - I wouldn't like a professional colleague to call me sweetie at work - would seem very patronising to me but if my dad or husband calls me that it's fine.
Women call me sweetie all the time. not sure why but for some reason they feel open to doing that and I don't mind it at all. Just a mild form of affection. But I would never call someone that in a work situation. The only people I call sweetie are family or my wife. In a work situation it can be considered condescending and harassing. But yeah, I get it all the time. Most recent was the checker at the store. She smiled at me and asked: Sweetie, do you want to buy a bag? I just smiled back and said "No honey". I figured that if it was okay for her to address me that way then it was okay for me to reply that way. So many people are hyper sensitive these days. You have to be careful about what you say or it may be taken the wrong way. But we all have slips and its okay to apologize when we do. At least, that is what I tend to do because I don't want anyone to feel offended by something I say. Most people are very understanding when you give them a respectful apology. Of course, there is an asshole in every crowd so be prepared to deal with him. My wife and I were at the country club one night and a guy walked up to me and said "Hey, you are the first Black guy I have ever seen in this town. Do you live here? I said yep, been here for 17 years. Then he said well, there goes the neighborhood. and laughed. But I didn't laugh with him. I just looked at him and walked away. Later his wife came over to our table and apologized. She says, Hello, I just wanted to come over and apologize for anything my husband may have said to offend you. He's been drinking tonight and is a little out of control. I said, oh, no problem, I have lived here long enough to know how things go. Then she asked my wife if she had tried the Fried chicken. I just shook my head and looked down at the floor. I thought, jeesh, these people ain't even trying to be racist. But, they are. I have seen some people get their asses handed to them just for things they said. There were a few who got my boon dockers shitty. But, I was young and quick to fight back then. Now, I just avoid ignorant folks like the plague. Also, I try to treat everyone with dignity and respect. If they disrespect me then I deal with them. But I try to keep in mind that there are a lot of ignorant folks out there who say really ignorant shit. Referring to your co-worker or classmate as sweetie is not the way to go. Reserve those special mumblings for people who are special in your life.
we think Francesca nailed it. nailed is nailed, Sweetie. You Rock Frantastica.
ericsteffensen
Regardless, I can't picture myself ever using "sweetie" to refer to anyone. Not because of sexism, but because to me it has always felt like an outdated word.


Springs artist and poet Haim Mizrahi is showing new paintings in his first solo exhibition at Vered Gallery in East Hampton. Opening this Saturday, December 20, with a special candle lighting and songs with Chabad of East Hampton, Hatikvah-Hope is a celebration of Mizrahi's home country of Israel, just in time for Channukah.
Works in the show feature expressionist painting applications, along with some recognizable Jewish imagery, such as the six-pointed Mogan David (also known as the Star of David or Shield of David), named for Jewish military hero King David and symbolic of God's rule over the universe in six directions—north, south, east, west, up and down. The paintings also display Hebrew text and images of the menorah, a symbol representing the holiday of Channukah and Jewish survival, specifically in their battle against the Greeks by the Maccabees, when Helenism threatened to overrun Israel in 167 BC and a small band of Jews turned the battle against the Jewish people into a victory. This victory is commemorated annually by the lighting of the menorah, one light for each of the eight nights that a single vial of oil burned, when by measure, it should only have burned one night.
Along with the Jewish themes, Mizrahi's paintings and collages are defined by recurrent themes, such as creative energy, individuality and kinetic power. Usually working in a blaze of color, elements of Mizrahi's sometimes graphic, sometimes free-form style bring artists such as Frank Stella and Jackson Pollock to mind, yet he always shines as an artistic original. "My work stretches across many styles due to my detachment from rules and points of reference that speak for the journey of the great masters," Mizrahi says. "I value the energy that finds itself smiling through the end result," the artist adds.
Some locals may recognize Mizrahi, who Lehr calls a "Renaissance man for the 21st century," as the host of his morning talk show Hello Hello on LTV in East Hampton. Also a poet, writer and jazz musician, he has published several CDs of music and a number of books, including a collection of pithy aphorisms called There Is No Simple Way to Say Simple Things, a Snack for Your Mind. His recent poems are featured in Long Island Sounds, an anthology of poems by Long Island poets, and he has shown extensively throughout the East End and Israel.
As Mizrahi sees his paintings inextricably woven with music and poetry, he often performs with other local musicians and reads poetry at his exhibitions. As Lehr says, his shows are not-to-be-missed happenings.
Haim Mizrahi's Hatikvah-Hope, an exhibition of paintings, opens at Vered Gallery in East Hampton (68 Park Place) with a special reception on Saturday, December 20 from 6–9 p.m. Chabad of East Hampton will join the celebration with a candle lighting and songs at 6 p.m. Call 631-324-6450 or visit veredart.com for more info.
