Eight American celebrities with surprising German roots
While they may have found fame in the English-speaking world, many celebrities have roots elsewhere. Here are eight household names whose ties to Germany may surprise you.

Sandra Bullock is more widely known for her Academy Award win in The Blind Side and further nominations, as well as a successful producing career.
Few, however, know that she is the daughter of Helga Mathilde Meyer, an opera singer and voice coach from Germany who married John W. Bullock, an army employee from Alabama.
The two met when Bullock's father was stationed in Nuremberg, where Bullock would live between stints in Vienna and Salzburg, Austria, for the first twelve years of her life.
She speaks fluent German, but has been reluctant to give a longer German-language interview due to her allegedly bad grammar.
Bullock's cousin, Susanne, is now married to Peter Ramsauer, a prominent politician from Chancellor Angela Merkel's CDU sister party.
The German connection doesn't stop there though: she also applied for dual US-German citizenship in 2009 along with her sister.

The famous singer may have been born and raised in New York, but his father and grandparents are originally from Nuremberg, Germany.
His grandfather, Karl Amson Joel, was a successful textile merchant of Jewish descent. Increasingly hostile anti-Semitic laws in Nazi Germany forced him to sell his business at a fraction of the value and escape with his family to Switzerland.
They later emigrated to the United States via Cuba, where his son Howard Joel met his wife and had a child, Billy, in 1949.
Howard later divorced his wife and returned to Europe, where he settled in Vienna, Austria and remarried. His second son, Alexander (Billy's half brother) is now a famous classical conductor in Europe and speaks fluent German.
A documentary on Joel's family history can be found here.
Much like Bullock, Willis' parents met while his father was stationed in Germany. Photo: EPA
'Die Hard' Star Bruce Willis is a Hollywood icon in the States, but he was actually born in the West German town of Idar-Oberstein in Rhineland-Palatinate.
His American father met his German mother whilst he was stationed in Germany as a soldier, and Bruce spent the first two years of his life in the country.
Although German is technically his mother tongue, he admits that his skills in the language are practically non-existent as he moved to the US before he could talk.
Forty eight years later, however, he returned to his roots, turning up outside the door to his childhood home (much to the surprise of its current owners) and asking to take photos of the rooms inside.
Nicole Simpson

Nicole Brown Simpson was married to former professional NFL player O.J. Simpson, and her murder in June 1994 resulted in a controversial and widely publicised trial.
She was born in Frankfurt in 1959. Her German mother Juditha and American father Louis met while he was stationed in the US as a correspondent for the American military newspaper Stars and Stripes.
The family lived in Frankfurt for the first years of Nicole's life before later relocating to the US.

Hailed by many as the greatest actress of her time, record Academy award-winning Meryl Streep has some clear links to Germany.
Her father was of German and Swiss-German descent. Streep's great-great-grandfather, Gottfried Streeb, immigrated from Loffenau, Baden-Württemberg, to the United States. The surname 'Streeb' was later changed to 'Streep'. Her mother is also of partly German heritage.
In 1978, Streep travelled to both Germany and Austria to film the 1978 miniseries Holocaust, in which she played the German wife of a Jewish artist in Nazi Germany.
Streep later won the Academy Award for Best Actress for her role as a Polish immigrant in Sophie's Choice (1982). She speaks German in the film as well as Polish and English.
In 2012, Streep was awarded the coveted Golden Bear lifetime achievement prize at the Berlin International Film Festival.

US president Donald Trump's links to Germany have been shrouded in some controversy.
His grandfather, Friedrich Trump, immigrated to the United States in 1885 when he was just 16 to escape compulsory military service.
He later attempted to return to Germany with the money he had earned, but he was stripped of his German citizenship for avoiding military service and forced to remain in the States.
There, he married a woman from his hometown Kallstadt and had three children. The middle child, Fred Trump, is Donald Trump's father.
President Trump denied his German roots for most of his career, insisting in his book "The Art of the Deal" that his grandfather came from Sweden.
According to his cousin John Walter, Trump kept his German heritage secret for the sake of his father, a realtor who wanted to avoid upsetting his Jewish clients.

American cultural icon Doris Day was actually born as Doris Mary Anne Kappelhoff.
Although she grew up in Cincinnati, Ohio, her grandparents on both sides were German. Her paternal grandfather, Franz Joseph Wilhelm Kappelhoff, came as an immigrant to the US in the late 19th century.
When Doris was 17, she was advised to adopt the stage surname 'Day' to help advance her career, as it was felt that Kappelhoff was simply too long.
Dunst dreams of being able to star in a German film one day. Photo: DPA
American movie star Kirsten Dunst doesn't just have German roots – as of 2011, she officially has dual German and American citizenship.
Although the actress was born in New Jersey, her father Klaus Dunst comes from Hamburg.
She attained German citizenship to make filming in Europe easier, and enjoys spending time in the country's capital, Berlin.
Dunst admits that she can only speak German "at a child's level", but hopes that one day she can go back to her roots by starring in a German language film.

BBC Declares Red Lipstick Will Make Children Turn to Lives of Sin
Filed to:kids these days
Ever concerned with the threat the female form poses to the morality of children, the BBC has issued new wardrobe guidelines for female hosts of kids' programming on the network. Among the banned items? That serial murderer of youthful innocence known as "red lipstick."
A BBC executive told attendees at a convention that the network is very concerned with making sure young girls are shown positive role models that aren't oversexualized, because lord knows kids get enough of that from a place called "everywhere." But the network is going about it by targeting some interesting clothing items. And it seems they're working to make sure the language used on kids' shows isn't too salty, when it comes to how hosts present themselves, they're only really concerned about what female personalities wear.
When asked whether the BBC pays attention to what female presenters wear, [Melissa] Hardinge [executive editor at BBC children's channel] said: 'We take that very seriously.
'We know that a lot of young girls will look at how our presenters are dressed, and no they shouldn't look too sexy.'
No word on whether or not how male hosts present themselves or speak can negatively impact the sexuality of little girls.

Truth 2 – God owns all time. He is the Father of time. God has designed time to be productive. God has designed time to be precious. Once it's gone, you can never get it back. If you sit on the couch and do nothing or just sleep, you will never get that time back. Of course doing these things is not wrong unless you have something more urgent and pressing to do. Our time must be useful. Our time must be creative and our time must be spent productively.


While much of the fight against the desalination plant has focused on the devastating environmental harm to marine life and huge output of greenhouse gasses, this recognition from the Taxpayers Association really has environmentalists scratching our collective head.
Earlier this summer, the San Diego County Taxpayers Association gave its Golden Watchdog award to the Carlsbad Desalination Project, reflecting the group's support "every step of the way" for what many in the environmental community consider the region's biggest boondoggle in recent memory.
Of course, it would be quite simple to explain the award by pointing out the multiple Poseidon Water representatives who have sat on the Taxpayers Association's board of directors "every step of the way" while the project was in development – Poseidon is the company behind the desal plant. At this point, however, perhaps it is more appropriate to point out the absurdity of the award by showing how the desalination plant is horrible for taxpayers.
It's the most expensive water available. This should be enough of a reason. Imported water costs less than half as much as desalinated water ($830 to $942 per acre foot versus $2,131 per acre foot for treated water). Every credible report on the subject finds that conservation is the cheapest and most effective way to increase water supplies, and San Diego County residents have proven highly capable at conserving when they want to. Why would the Taxpayers Association support charging taxpayers for the most expensive water possible?
The agreement between the San Diego County Water Authority and Poseidon is a 30-year "take or pay" contract, which unduly benefits Poseidon. It's unfathomable how SDCTA sees a taxpayer benefit when a company gets a contract with the government obligating taxpayers to purchase the most expensive water available in minimum quantities for 30 years with absolutely no consideration for need. In fact, the desalination plant has barely opened for business and we're already dumping treated water into reservoirs because we have to buy the water whether we need it or not.
We still don't know which ratepayers will shoulder the long-term burden of the desalinated water. The Water Authority has parroted Poseidon's claim that the desalination plant will add a mere $5 to ratepayers' monthly bills regionwide. This increase, however, contemplates that all of the region's water districts will be forced to buy more expensive treated water from the Water Authority, which they should not. Some of the districts have their own treatment systems (e.g., the city of San Diego, Padre Dam Municipal Water District, Helix Water District) and instead buy raw, or untreated water from the Water Authority at a discount and then treat it themselves prior to distribution. Though equity suggests the districts that rely on the Water Authority to provide treated water should pay the higher unit cost, the fact is if this occurs, the ratepayers in smaller districts (i.e., farmers and suburban homes) will see monthly bill increases from tens to hundreds of dollars. In other words, unless the Water Authority can inappropriately saddle thousands of ratepayers in the city of San Diego with the bulk of the cost of desalinated water, the rest of the county's ratepayers will surely revolt. Although the Water Authority has come up with an interim allocation that allows the cost to spread out among ratepayers who don't actually benefit from the treated water, this rate structure is both impermanent and illegal.
Water recycling makes more sense. Without qualification, both indirect (clean water put in a reservoir or groundwater) and direct (clean water piped straight to users) potable reuse make more sense environmentally and economically than desalination. The city of San Diego is drawing ever closer to approval of its Pure Water project that will result in tens of millions of gallons per day of raw sewage recycled for storage in a local reservoir for eventual treatment for potable uses. In addition to providing a cost-effective, equitable, drought-proof supply of potable water, the Pure Water project will have the secondary benefit of reducing discharges of treated sewage to the ocean (in stark contrast to the desalination paradigm that results in massive mortality to marine life near those plants' intakes and outfalls). City of San Diego ratepayers are expected to shoulder the bulk of cost for Pure Water, and yet the Taxpayers Association and the County Water Authority would also have them paying for highly treated and expensive desalinated water that they neither need nor want.
I get it, understanding how and why water rates change is difficult. But, at the end of the day it's not hard to see that we have two vastly superior options to the expensive fraud that is and will be the Carlsbad Desalination Project: water conservation and water recycling. It's just a shame the Taxpayers Association has become a mouthpiece for corporate greed and agency malfeasance rather than a true protector of San Diego taxpayers.

Leyton Orient boss Andy Hessenthaler wants strikers to get back among the goals while Jay Simpson remains injured
PUBLISHED: 18:49 27 August 2016 | UPDATED: 18:49 27 August 2016
Jay Simpson has been unavailable for Leyton Orient's first three games of the season (pic: Simon O'Connor).
Experienced manager discusses defeat to Mansfield Town, lack of leaders and Jay Simpson with Southend United still interested in forwards
Leyton Orient manager Andy Hessenthaler wants his forwards to get back amongst the goals after watching the O's lost 2-1 to Mansfield Town this afternoon.
The Stags left east London with all three points after goals from Mitchell Rose and Matt Green cancelled out Liam Kelly's 73rd minute equaliser.
Kelly has two goals this year while Gavin Massey has three from out wide, but not many of Orient's forwards have found the net.
Paul McCallum struck a brace against Fulham while Ollie Palmer netted at Grimsby Town last weekend, but both Jay Simpson and Jordan Bowery have yet to hit the target.
"I'm a little bit concerned with the lack of goals from our strikers, but it is good we're scoring from other areas," said Hessenthaler.
"We weren't doing that last year, but we need to keep going, keep working with them and hopefully the goals will come from the centre forwards."
Meanwhile Simpson was again absent at Brisbane Road due to a back problem, although it remains to be seen where he will wear an Orient shirt again with Southend United set to have made a big for the forward.
Hessenthaler added: "Jay was injured, he'll hopefully be back in training during the week and we'll see what happens from there."
One of the O's major problems this season and in recent years has been conceding sloppy goals.
Yvan Erichot was at fault for the penalty against the Stags, which Green blazed over the crossbar and struggled throughout.
But the former Gillingham manager didn't want to single out individuals, just admitted they need more people to talk at the back.
"I think we are a bit quiet as a team, we do need a leader and people to talk and organise," said Hessenthaler.
"When the ball is moving around, that is when you are at your most vulnerable going from side to side so you've got to defend properly.
"We didn't do that so maybe we are lacking a leader type to get us organised and be vocal because we've got too many players that don't say enough for me."

Funds allocated for expansion of Costa del Sol Hospital Emergency department
Bendodo, left of centre, announced the plans. / Josele
Extra space will be gained for consultations but the long-awaited overhaul of the hospital is still on hold

The long-awaited expansion of the Costa del Sol Hospital will have to wait, but in the meantime the Junta de Andalucía regional government will spend 2.8 million euros on a series of works to be completed by the end of the year.
The works being carried out include the extension of the Emergencies department, which will see the number of emergency observation beds increased and the incorporation of new multipurpose consultation rooms.
A new thousand-square-metre space will also be created, housing the outpatient Cardiopathy and Urology clinics, freeing up space for other services.
These plans were announced last week by Minister of the Presidency of the Andalusian regional government Elías Bendodo.

The CBC just reported new materials have been submitted to the House of Commons Justice Committee. Evidence given shows that former Attorney General Jody Wilson-Raybould recorded at least one of the contentious conversations center to the #LavScam scandal that has rocked the House of Commons.
The recording is expected to be released later today.
As this is breaking, story will be updated as news is released.
Canadians must hear the truth. Good for Jody for solid ethics and values.
Perhaps Trudeau will "let Canadians decide" and the release of vote 125 of Liberal MPs scurrying back into the House to vote will happen next?

Pakistan's ailing economy gets $1.3 billion infusion from ADB
Islamabad | Published: December 6, 2019 4:40:47 PM
Pakistan is facing a serious economic crisis with short supplies of foreign currency reserves and stagnating growth in recent years.
Pakistan has made significant effort in recent years to expand its electricity generation capacity, but challenges of inefficiency, distortions, and uneven reforms in the sector are yet to be overcome, the ADB said. (Reuters)
Cash-strapped Pakistan received a USD 1.3-billion loan from the Asian Development Bank (ADB) on Friday to support the country's public finances and shore up the slowing economy. Pakistan is facing a serious economic crisis with short supplies of foreign currency reserves and stagnating growth in recent years. Since assuming power in August 2018, Prime Minister Imran Khan has been appealing to close allies like China and Saudi Arabia to provide concessional loans to reduce the size of the bailout package that Pakistan may need from the International Monetary Fund (IMF).
The ADB's quick dispersing special policy-based loan is part of a multi-donor economic reform programme led by the IMF to stabilise Pakistan's economy after a major deterioration in its fiscal position in 2018, according to a statement by the Manila-based regional lender. "ADB is committed to providing wide-ranging support to strengthen Pakistan's economy and reduce the risk of external economic shocks," said ADB Director General for Central and West Asia Werner Liepach. While USD 1 billion has been extended to Pakistan to improve its current account deficit, strengthen its revenue base, USD 300 million has been extended for the energy programme, another ADB press release said.
The energy financing will support the first of three sub-programmes totalling USD 1 billion under Pakistan's Energy Sector Reforms and Financial Sustainability Programme, the bank said. Pakistan has made significant effort in recent years to expand its electricity generation capacity, but challenges of inefficiency, distortions, and uneven reforms in the sector are yet to be overcome, the ADB said.

These inefficiencies were estimated to have cost the country's economy upto USD 18 billion, or 6.5 per cent of gross domestic product in 2015. Apart from the ADB loan, the current Pakistan government has borrowed USD 10.40 billion from friendly countries like China and the UAE to stabilise the foreign exchange reserves and repayment of old loans, a media report said on Tuesday.

Cunard Line Flagship Queen Mary 2 Calls to Cobh
Jehan Ashmore
Cunard Line's flagship Queen Mary 2 docked at Cobh today, the 148,528 tonnes giant liner follows Queen Elizabeth which made her maiden call to Cork Harbour last Saturday, writes Jehan Ashmore.
Queen Mary 2 cost €549m and she is the only true 'liner' operating in the world today as she on occasions provides scheduled trans-Atlantic sailings between Southampton and New York. Some of these sailings include calling to Hamburg. In addition to this role she offers worldwide cruising. Her predecessor Queen Elizabeth 2 (QE2) was sold several years to Dubai interests.
The current liner (QM2) can carry 2,620 passengers and a crew of over 1,200 on a vessel is the longest, tallest and widest of any passenger liner built. The luxury liner has private balconies for nearly 80 per cent of cabins and has an art collection worth £3.5m. To complement these works of art there is the first 'floating planetarium', the largest library at sea, boasting 8,000 hardbacks and also the largest ballroom to grace a ship on the oceans.
Queen Mary 2 was short-listed to be built in Belfast at the Harland & Wolff shipyard, but the contract went to Chantiers d'Atlantique, St. Nazaire on the west coast of France.
Her first visit to Irish waters occurred when she anchored off Dunmore East in 2005, the liner had arrived overnight on a passage from her homeport of Southampton and was on a nine-day cruise of British, Irish and Baltic state ports.
Today's Cobh visit of the 345m long Queen Mary 2 coincided with Ocean Countess, a former 'Cunarder', which is also in the port. The 163m vessel was built in 1976 and launched as their Cunard Countess. She weighs 17,593grt and has a 800 passenger capacity. Last year she joined Cruise & Maritime Voyages (CMV) fleet under charter from Majestic International Cruises Group.
Also at work in Cork Harbour was the excursion vessel Spirit of the Isles which apart from operating River Lee sight-seeing cruises between Cork city-centre and Cobh at the weekends, is running a charter cruise this afternoon to Spike Island.

Q: How can I get error code when I execute an incorrect process? I'm trying to start the powershell script through processbuilder and I'm sure there's an error there, but such commands as exitValue() and waitFor() always return 0 - OK status. Any ideas for catch erros?
P.S. I know that I can parse and view ErrorStream, but..In general, some messages in ErrorStream suit me (they do not affect the script), but there are messages (powershell exeption), like unkonown command or bad command or connections error which should let me know that there was a serious error
P.P.S. my code below:
Process process = null;
String path = "Path\\To\\PowershellScript.ps1"
    int isErrorProcess = 0;
    int isErrorProcess1 = 0;
    try {
        ProcessBuilder pb = new ProcessBuilder("powershell.exe", path);
        pb.directory(new File(path.substring(0, path.lastIndexOf("\\"))));
        pb.redirectErrorStream(true);
        process = pb.start();
        ProcessBuilder.Redirect rd = pb.redirectError();
        // Get input streams
        BufferedReader stdInput = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(process.getInputStream(),"866"));

        // Read command standard output + error
        String s;

        System.out.println("\nOutput:\n");
        while ((s = stdInput.readLine()) != null) {
            System.out.println(s);
        }

        isErrorProcess = process.exitValue();
        if(isErrorProcess == 0 && isErrorProcess1 == 0){ //why always 0 even if powershell script with erros
            isErrorStatus = false;
        }
        process.destroy();
        return isErrorStatus;

    } catch (Exception e) {
        process.destroy();
        e.printStackTrace(System.err);
        return true;
    }

Many thanks

Decoration - Fat bulbs that just about everyone has used for general lighting in bedrooms since childhood are classified as incandescent light bulbs. These lamps happen to have been the standard forever simply because of the natural, warm light they produce and their undeniable low price. These bulbs are also really easy to get even on a dimmer control matched against other lamp types.
Illumination with incandescent bulbs is that they consume two to three times more energy versus the alternatives. This put together with a lot shorter lifespan (up to 1,500 hours) than its competitors makes incandescent bulbs a really expensive option. This has brought about an international movement to ban their use before 2014 for the sake of energy. Some countries, including those who work in the European Union, have already begun this ban.

Q: Flex child with no-wrap child overflowing off screen I have a very specific flex use case that I don't quite understand why it's behaving how it is. I have two columns. The right column has a fixed width, and flex-shrink: 0. The left column has flex-shrink: 1, flex-grow: 1, and, crucially, a child with width: 100%, white-space: nowrap, and overflow-x: scroll.
What I would expect is for the left column to fill the remaining width and then the overflow to scroll. However, what actually happens is the left column pushes the right column off screen.

      This should fill remaining space instead of pushing flex-child-2 off the screen. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Maecenas in augue volutpat, sagittis ante et, tincidunt mauris. Morbi vitae convallis erat, eget vulputate lacus.
      Nunc a justo aliquet, facilisis justo eget, semper velit. Nunc quis elementum tortor. Nam vestibulum aliquet nunc, id

This should not be shoved off screen

A: I fixed this by adding overflow-x: hidden on flex-child-1. (I also added flex-basis: 0 for good measure but I don't think it does anything). This seems to tell the browser to respect the widths and overflows set on children. I'm not sure why this works or where in the spec it says this, but if anyone knows and wants to comment, feel free.

Q: Python - What is the most efficient way to generate padding? Here's the problem: I'm reading binary files in fairly large blocks (512 KiB) and wish to pad the last block with zeros whenever it is shorter than the block size.
Currently, I'm doing something like this:
bytes = f.read(self.chunksize)
if len(bytes) > 0:
    len_diff = self.chunksize - len(bytes)
    if len_diff > 0:
        bytes += reduce(lambda x,y: x+y, ["\0" for i in range(0, len_diff)])

Obviously this is terribly inefficient since that reduce will make a lot of string concatenations. I'm wondering though, how can I achieve this with Python? In C, I'd simply calloc and be done with it.
If it isn't achievable with Python, I'm willing to convert this code into a C module and/or abandon Python entirely for this project, since it's still on the early stages.
Cheers!
EDIT: I'm feeling terrible for not remembering to use the * operator. :-)
This solution worked perfectly for me:
bytes += "\0" * len_diff

EDIT #2: Using ljust() instead simplified my code a bit, so the correct answer goes to Jeff.

A: bytes += "\0"*len_diff

should help

A: Couldn't you just use ljust() to do the padding since we're dealing with string objects here?
bytes = f.read(self.chunksize)
if bytes:
    bytes = bytes.ljust(self.chunksize, '\0')

A: try this.
bytes = "\0" * self.chunksize
rbytes = f.read(self.chunksize)
bytes[:len(rbytes)] = rbytes

or
bytes = f.read(self.chunksize)
bytes += "\0" * (self.chunksize - len(bytes))

A: How about:
bytes += "\0"*len_diff

A: I needed to pad something encrypted. Here's how to do it.
from Crypto.Util.Padding import pad

...
_bytes = pad(_bytes, block_size)

Review - Illness or Deviance?
Drug Courts, Drug Treatment, and the Ambiguity of Addiction
by Jennifer Murphy
Temple University Press, 2015
Review by Anna Westin
Dec 13th 2016 (Volume 20, Issue 50)
It is rare that addiction literature is able to present detailed personal narratives within an informative and critical perspective that leave the reader feeling they have gained clear insight into a particular situation. Illness or Deviance? Drug Courts, Drug Treatment, and the Ambiguity of Addiction presents just such an account, engaging with the interaction between drug addiction and the American penal system. Jennifer Murphy's sociological account of addiction gives the reader an overview of American drug culture, while exploring key concepts such as stigma and the historical evolution of addiction.
Murphy opens the book with an excerpt of a conversation between a therapist and group of clients. The narrative sets up the problem that Murphy will spend the rest of the book engaging with. What does it mean to be addicted? Through the use of narrative, the introduction points out that people's use of the drug addict label can vary considerably. This ambiguity, Murphy suggests, becomes even more complicated when tied to a legal process. This is where we see the particular context of the text. Murphy bases her engagement on the American penal system, which is a very specific kind of way of dealing with drug use.
I was particularly drawn to how Murphy highlighted how the labelling of addiction can lead to identity transformation as a process of self-understanding and self-limitation (2015, p. 16). Using various narratives from addicted individuals, she problematizes the method labelling addiction as a disease, and then 'treating it' via the drug court system. This text raises some interesting questions about the challenges in addiction treatment, the power of stigmatization and problematic interactions between justice and illness.
While at times the narratives felt a bit long, there was always a clear indication of why they were being used, and though the book was localized to the American situation, it benefits anyone seriously interested in the wider addiction conversation. The book provides a good overview of the nuances within the contemporary addiction discourse and the limits of the disease model. It also engages with challenging questions about basic social interactions and how labels powerfully affect our understanding of identity.

Surrey won the County Championship for the first time since 2002 by beating Worcestershire by three wickets.
Worcestershire, bottom of the table, fought back with three morning wickets, but Ollie Pope's 49 helped Surrey home.
"What took them so long?" South Africa great Morkel joked on BBC Radio 5 live. "It's a special feeling. To clinch the trophy with two games to go is unbelievable.
"There's a lot of emotion in the dressing room - it's been a lot of hard work. It's been competitive, there's been quality cricket played, but I've been blown away by this season."
Alec Stewart's side have won 10 and drawn two of their 12 Division One matches so far and remain on course to finish the season unbeaten.
It was fitting that Burns, who now appears destined for a place on England's tour of Sri Lanka following Alastair Cook's retirement, was to play a significant role in their decisive victory.
"I did think we had a squad good enough to win the title, but I didn't think it would happen in the manner we've done it," said Burns.
"The journey this club's been on, there's been a lot of building to this point and it's great to get over the line.
"The blend in the squad and the team - there's been a lot of experienced heads to allow the slightly younger heads to express themselves. It's great to see."
In addition to his last-day heroics with the bat, Morkel has also been a key man with the ball and it was his 5-24 - his fourth five-wicket haul of the season - that kept the visitors' target down on the third day.
Pope looks likely to be Surrey's next home-grown product to make a mark on the international stage, already appearing in two Tests this summer and known to be highly-rated by chief national selector Ed Smith.
10 - Surrey have matched last year's champions Essex for number of wins with two games to spare. Another victory would see them equal Yorkshire's 2015 record of 11 (from 16 games) since the Championship split into two divisions.
5 - half of Surrey's victories have been by an innings.
592 - Surrey's second-innings total against Nottinghamshire at Trent Bridge is the highest team score in the County Championship this season.
199 - Burns and Ben Foakes put on Surrey's highest partnership of the season, for the fourth wicket against Hampshire.
0 - knockout games played by Surrey in limited-overs cricket this season after they were eliminated from the group stage of both the One-Day Cup and T20 Blast.

HoloCure download - How to play and install
If you're looking for the HoloCure download, here's everything we know
By James Bentley
January 18, 2023: We have checked over our information
HoloCure is a brand new "Vampire Survivors" style game with HoloLive characters. If you're looking to know about the HoloCure Download information, this is what you should know.
If you're having problems with the game or just don't know where the link is, this is everything you need to know. As you might expect, the game is very new so there are bound to be some problems. These will be fixed with time but, maybe, we can help you out first.
How do I find the HoloCure download?
Troubleshooting HoloCure
Will HoloCure come to mobile?
While you wait to sort this out, check out our review of Hades, one of the best roguelikes out there. We also have HoloCure guides on updates and collabs.
If you want to play HoloCure for yourself, you can do so by simply clicking on this link. This will send you to the creator's Itch account. On this page, they give you a rundown of what the game is about, what you can expect to see and much more. They will also go over previous updates and what has changed.
From here, scroll to the bottom of the page to find a Download tab. It will give you a zip file with the game in. Extract it to somewhere memorable, go into the folders and open the .exe file. This will start up the game. There is no controller support right now so you will have to use your keyboard.
If the game won't open for some reason or some problem is getting in the way, you are best of trying to redownload it. There's a chance you have a slightly outdated version of the game or some problem is popping up that has already been fixed.
Keep an eye on the game and wait for confirmation of a new update, then get the new version installed. There's a chance you have exported the file into the wrong place or have misplaced part of it so a fresh install is always a good option.
On the official Itch page, the team share some updates about the game and its future. They said:
"You are not able to share save files between devices. The save file you create on one PC will only work for that PC."
"This game is currently for Windows PC only. We may look into macOS and linux some time in the future, but not any time soon. Our small team wants to focus on new content and bugfixing first and foremost at this time."
"There are no plans for a mobile version."
Though only the last part has anything to do with a mobile port, the entire thing is worth keeping an eye on. It's only a very small team working on the game right now so you may have to wait quite a while for them to release it elsewhere. If it continues to be a success, we could eventually see a mobile port but we just don't know yet.
If you want to know all about HoloCure collabs, this is what you need to know.

Kelly Clarkson Breaks You Out of Your Light-Up Box In 'Invincible' Video
Okay, so you've broken out of your shell, but are you ready to break out of your large-scale cubist light installation?
Kelly Clarkson, who performed a pitch-perfect rendition of "Invincible" at the 2015 Billboard Music Awards, has just released a video for the track—the second single off Piece by Piece—and it's very much Miss Independent in a nutshell...err, big, glowing box.
The clip, which opens on Kelly surveying the nuts and bolts of a big, abandoned warehouse, soon casts its attention on a collection of giant, luminous blocks floating around town; one slowly spins above a nearby shoreline, another hovers over a discount liquor shop's parking lot.
Seemingly intent on cracking each open like farm-fresh eggs, Kelly begins to pound the depot's brick walls as she bellows a familiar battle cry. "Beat down on me, beat down like a waterfall/'Cause I can take on so much more than I had ever dreamed/So beat down on me, beat down like a waterfall/'Cause baby I am ready to be free," she pleads through the tune, which was written and hand-delivered by Sia.
Obligingly, the shadowy visages trapped inside the handful of wedges finally rocket out of their respective jail cells, and they barrel over to Kelly's depository for a you-can't-keep-me-down dance number. Think "Stronger"'s flash mob, but in a space that could double as a lumber yard!
(Digression: Is anyone else completely enamored of the woman in the wheelchair? How can we land tickets to her art show?)
Thoughts on Kelly's "Invincible" vid? Feeling ready to take on the world?
See Kelly and other celebs in their yearbook pictures!
Is Kelly Clarkson's 'Invincible' The Song Of Summer?

Q: How can I limit my textbox text length takes 9 digits only using regex
*

*string pattern = @"^[0-9]{0,9}$";

*return Regex.IsMatch(input,regFormat);

*I am using above pattern on keydown event Please help me how can I validate my textbox.textlength to max 9 digits using regex and takes only digits not string.

A: If you want your regex to be limited to 9 characters, you can use curly braces, i.e.
/^[0-9]{0,9}$/

A: To make a TextBox take only 9 characters, you can specify it's MaxLength attribute:
myTextBox.MaxLength = 9;

Then, if you only want the user to be able to enter numbers, handle the TextChanged event:
myTextBox_TextChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    if (Regex.IsMatch("[^0-9]",myTextBox.Text)
        myTextBox.Text.Remove(myTextBox.Length - 1);
}

This checks if the last character of the TextBox is not a number, and if it is not a number, removes it.

A: without regex I found my way out from this problem. below codes work awesome on my keydown event
else if (!(e.KeyValue >= 48 && e.KeyValue <= 57) || textBox1.Text.Length == 9)
{
   e.SuppressKeyPress = !(e.KeyCode == Keys.Back || e.KeyCode == Keys.Left || e.KeyCode == Keys.Right);
}


Despite the late date, a cold win blew throughout Sunday's doubleheader as the baseball team drew closer to the end of a season that never really got hot. After a marathon 14-inning affair to start off the day, the Tigers (13-26 overall, 8-12 Ivy League) got the bats going in their Ivy League finale against Cornell, recording their only win of a tough four-game series.
Senior lefty Michael Fagan, in what was likely his last collegiate start, pitched nine solid innings in the first game, letting up just one run — a solo homer from Ryan Karl — while striking out 11. Despite one of the best performances of a very impressive season for Fagan, he would not record the win, as he left the game tied 1-1 after pitching nine strong innings.
"He had as good a year as any pitcher that we've ever had here, capped off by that nine-inning performance," head coach Scott Bradley said.
Assuming he does not pitch Tuesday, Fagan will finish the season 4-2 with three complete games, 77 strikeouts and a 2.33 ERA. He went 1-4 last year with an ERA just under 8.00.
"It's good to know I went out playing my best," Fagan said.
The tie lasted six more innings. Both defenses performed admirably, and the tie was broken only by Karl's second homer of the contest, this time off of sophomore Chris Bodurian.
The Tigers answered in the bottom of the inning to keep the game going but could not plate the winning run, stranding three.
After sterling defense for almost two full games worth of play, two lapses would doom the Tigers in the 14th. After a walk and a single to start off the inning, York balked home the go-ahead run with men on second and third. The Big Red (18-21, 9-11) added an insurance run when junior catcher Brett Geren's attempt to pick off the runner on third backfired and the ball rolled into left field.
The Tigers managed two runners with no outs in the bottom of the 14th, but Big Red reliever Connor Kaufmann sat down the next three batters in order to end the contest three and a half hours after it began.
Sophomore Luke Streiber started the season finale, letting up a run in the first but settling down for the next two frames. With one runner on in the fourth, he once again proved himself susceptible to the longball, as Chris Cruz smacked a no-doubt-that's-gone shot over the right field fence.
The Tigers got a run thanks to Cornell starter Michael Byrne's control problems in the first. After two walks and a hit batter loaded the bases, freshman left fielder Paul Tupper singled, but only one run would score. Byrne settled down, not only stranding three but also cruising until the sixth, when Servais ripped a single into right-center, scoring Tupper. York then launched a liner to roughly the same spot and legged out a two-run triple to give the Tigers their first lead of the day. Powers then singled through the left side, scoring York.
Junior reliever Nick Donatiello came in to finish out the game for the Tigers and looked good until he let up a two-out triple in the top of the ninth, with the runner scoring on a wild pitch in the next at bat. Donatiello rallied, however, to give the Tigers a 5-4 lead and avoid the sweep.
Sunday's drama was preceded by a less suspenseful doubleheader in Ithaca. The Tigers lost the first game of that doubleheader 6-4 despite two-hit performances from Keller and two freshmen, infielder Danny Baer and designated hitter Nick Hernandez. Freshman Keelan Smithers kept the Big Red under control for five and two thirds innings in the second game, but with two outs in the sixth, he started to lose control and was eventually tagged for three runs in addition to the one he let up in the first. An RBI triple from junior right fielder Peter Owens, who then scored on a passed ball, was all the offense Princeton got as it fell to Cornell 4-2.
After a somewhat disappointing Ivy season, the Tigers have one game left on their schedule. They travel to Jamaica, N.Y. Tuesday to face St. John's University.

We asked five domestic workers to document their lives. These are their stories.
Domestic Worker Voices Video Diaries
The most meaningful way to support my family has been learning about and advocating for our rights.
Marie and her husband came to the US almost 20 years ago. Their daughters joined them a few years later. Marie has worked as a domestic worker, but when her pandemic miracle baby was born, her old employer would not rehire her. She knows the low wages and long hours that domestic workers face and sees the toll it takes on her husband.
My motivation for me to keep going is my daughter.
Denise has worked as a nanny and home care worker for the past 4 years, and is a leader with NDWA's We Dream in Black chapter in New York City. As a single mother, she is immensely proud of her daughter for attending (and soon graduating) college. Her daughter is very proud of Denise and her work.
It's my kids who keep me going. I have to be strong for them.
Lydia lost her homecare job and all her income during COVID. The family was not eligible for federal stimulus checks. They worried that they wouldn't be able to pay their mortgage. Because of her immigration status, Lydia was unable to find work for 6 months. She is now working again, but only from 8am-1pm; a significant cut in her hours, and therefore her income. The family is still struggling financially.
I've been a nanny all my life and the truth is, I like it more than any other job I've had.
Laura been a nanny in Seattle, Washington for 17 years. She is passionate about her job and the kids that she cares for. She enjoys seeing children develop, and even teaches them Spanish. In Seattle, Laura lives with her husband, who works in another state in the Merchant Marines, and her 13 year-old son.
Ms. Kay
I am proud to be a domestic worker. I would love to be recognized for all the world to see.
Ms. Kay comes from a long line of domestic workers and is proud to continue that legacy. She started homecare work professionally when she moved to Georgia after seeing how many people were in need of care. She is a proud mother and grandmother.

Racing Tips: Nunthorpe Stakes (Group 1) : Take Cover at Southwell !
Take Cover at Southwell !
Although Dorback only came second in a seller last time out he has run some good races against better opposition than this in his 14 race career to date and there's every chance we havent seen the best of him yet. He's worth a small ew bet at Southwell on Tuesday afternoon at odds of about 12/1 as its not a very inspiring field of runners that he's up against.
Take Cover, 6/4, has only run twice to date and both of those wins came here at Southwell and there's every chance he can make it three wins in the 2.10 6f Class 6 Handicap. He's gone up 6lb for his last win but he wasnt stopping then and this track holds no fears for him.
Where's Reiley probably is the best horse on this surface in the 12.10 but it all depends in what shape he turns up in as he was last on his AW dedut last season and no doubt the betting will be the best guide on that score.
Good spot there with DORBACK, possibly a bit unlucky to lose in the end and 14/1 too.
Numeral to continue progression ?


For the next twelve weeks, I will share with you the prompts from my memoir writing class. Our theme this spring is Place or Places.
The first prompt (1/12) is A Courting Place or A Romantic Place or A Dating Place.

Marguerite-Fadhma Aït Mansour Amrouche (tamazight de Argelia del norte ⴼⴰⴹⵎⴰ ⴰⵜ ⵎⴰⵏⵚⵓⵔ Faḍma At Manṣur; 1882, Tizi Hibel, Argelia - 9 de julio de 1967, Saint-Brice-en-Coglès, Francia) fue una escritora, poeta y cantante nativista. Fue madre de los escritores Jean Amrouche y Taos Amrouche.

Biografía
La madre de Marguerite, Aïna Aït Larbi U-Saïd, nacida en las proximidades de Tawrirt Musa (actual Tizi-Ouzou wilaya) en Argelia, se casa muy joven con un hombre mucho mayor con quien tiene dos hijos. Fallecido su esposo, decide vivir sola con sus dos hijos, rechazando la oferta de su hermano Kaci de venir a vivir con su madre, como era la costumbre. Así, su hermano la reniega: separada de la familia, no puede asistir al funeral de su madre. Aïna y un hombre del vecindario, que resultó ser de la misma familia que su difunto marido, se enamoran. Aïna queda embarazada, mas ese hombre, ya comprometido con otra mujer de familia importante, se niega a reconocer la paternidad. Aïna queda excluida de la comunidad y da a luz sola, en su casa en Tizi Hibel (cerca de Beni Douala) junto a sus dos hijos pequeños. La bebé habría sido asesinada junto con su madre para preservar el honor de la familia, pero intervino la autoridad francesa, salvándolas.

Así, como hija ilegítima de una valiente viuda, Fadhma vivió una vida despreciada en su pueblo y, para alejarla de la ira del vecindario, su madre Aïna la envió primero a estudiar en una escuela secular, y luego con las monjas del Hospital de Ait Manguellet, donde tuvo lugar su conversión al catolicismo. Allí conoció y se casó, con dieciséis años, con otro cabileño converso, Antoine-Belkacem Amrouche, de Ighil Ali, de quien tuvo ocho hijos:
 Paul-Mohand-Said (1900-1940);
 Henri-Achour (1903-1958);
 Jean-El-Mouhouv (1906-1962);
 Louis-Marie (1908-1909)
 Louis-Mohand-Seghir (1910-1939)
 Marie-Louise-Taos (1913-1976)
 Noël-Saadi (1916-1940)
 René-Malek (1922-)

La vida del matrimonio y sus numerosos descendientes era miserable y problemática. Para ganarse la vida, emigraron a Túnez, y finalmente a Francia.

La historia de la vida de Fadhma: un fresco de la vida del pueblo cabilio, entre los siglos XVIII al XX, se narra en un conmovedor ensayo autobiográfico, "Histoire de ma vie", publicado póstumamente en 1968. Este libro trata de la vida que vivió como mujer entre dos mundos: por un lado, la vida y la lengua de su tierra bereber; y, por otro, el poder colonial de Francia, su idioma y su religión, el cristianismo.

Aunque apasionada por la lengua y la cultura francesas, Fadhma nunca dejó de apreciar el valor de su propia cultura Bereber de origen, de la cual siempre transmitió a los hijos los valores y palabras que estos últimos harían por eternizarlos en sus trabajos, tanto en guiones como en la canción.

Conversión al catolicismo
Marguerite, como hija ilegítima de una viuda, sufrió en su infancia la malicia de los aldeanos, con muchos actos de violencia contra ella. En 1885, su madre la confió a las monjas de la misión católica de Iwadiyen (Ouadhias). En 1886, Marguerite ingresó en el internado (escuela secular) de Taddart u-Fella cerca de Fort National, donde en 1892, obtuvo su certificado de estudios.

Luego regresa a su pueblo cerca de su madre, quien le enseña sobre las costumbres y el conocimiento tradicional, incluidas canciones y poemas cabilios. Luego, trabajará en el Hospital Aït Manguellet con las Hermanas Misioneras de Nuestra Señora de África (llamadas Hermanas Blancas, fundada por el cardenal Lavigerie). Se convirtió al cristianismo y, en su bautismo, recibió el nombre de Marguerite.

Children are smart and inquisitive, and even if parents aren't talking about race to them, psychologists say that by the age of three or four, kids are noticing it. One study showed that the more diverse friends parents had, their young kids showed less racial bias than the children of parents with less diverse friends.
There are numerous ways of teaching your children about the importance of diversity and for allowing young minds to grasp the concepts of racial and cultural differences and put them into perspective.
Behavioral experts believe that education and entertainment can go a long way in helping children learn key lessons in life. Diversity is a topic rich in value that children should be exposed to early on. Here are several ways you can show your children the value in diversity.
Parents should begin by showing their children acceptance and tolerance. Little ones like to imitate their parents, so adults should be open to new experiences and new people. Identify your own unconscious biases and work to correct them.
Hanging up a colorful map of the world or buying children a globe to spin around and find different countries on is an excellent idea. Physically seeing another part of the world and how these places make newsworthy moments can expand a child's vision of different people and cultures.
Sampling various foods from other countries is a delicious way to learn about a unique culture, language, and traditions. Taking a family to a multicultural fair or community event to meet new people can be an effective way to teach about diversity.
Children are curious and bright and will notice that someone's skin color is darker or lighter, hair texture is different, or traditions other families practice that are unfamiliar. Parents should encourage kids to ask them questions and that there's no embarrassment talking about it.
There are wonderful books available that discuss diversity, disability, and inclusion in simple concepts young minds can comprehend. Parents can read these stories to kids ages two to five.
Kids enjoy writing letters or emails to other young people scattered around the globe. Having international pen pals is a fun concept many schools encourage.

High-degree language code should be compiled down to an intermediate bytecode, or on to machine instructions. SQL isn't a common function language that can be used to put in writing functions. However, it's no less than a helpful, if not required skill of most builders. The term "full-stack developer" refers to a developer with a well-rounded skill set that features all elements of an utility. This almost all the time contains accessing and saving knowledge to a database. SQL is not hard to study initially, though there are advanced use circumstances in Big Data and knowledge evaluation that require important experience.
So, What's The Best Programming Language?
While it is a relatively new language, Go has a big requirements library and extensive documentation. Universally known as the language of internet builders, javascript is a function-rich object-based mostly scripting language. Featuring asynchronous event dealing with and crisp syntax, it has discovered widespread use within the field of net improvement. What began off as a simple client-aspect scripting language, is now a spotlight throughout the internet improvement neighborhood featuring a number of frameworks for each backend and frontend growth.
C++ occupies an identical area in the market as C, together with systems programming and low-degree hardware development. Over the years, the C++ normal libraries and specification have been expanded significantly, resulting in criticism that it has become over-difficult and troublesome to be taught. Python is a relatively new interpreted programming language, first introduced in 1989. It is an interpreted language that helps automatic reminiscence administration and object-oriented programming. Necessary tools for growth, debugging, testing, upkeep of a program have to be offered by a programming language.
It is especially suited for building applications for Windows environments and creating net purposes in combination with the.NET Framework. It has a pleasant community with tons of nice, free sources for the start programmer, together with many excellentbooks on Ruby programming. One reason Ruby is a simple programming language is its supportive and pleasant group. Perl obtained its start for programming textual content, which makes it simple to be taught and in style for creating a proof of concept. Also known as Golang, Go was developed by Google to be an efficient, readable, and secure language for system-degree programming. It works properly for distributed systems, by which techniques are positioned on totally different networks and want to communicate by sending messages to one another.
Elixir is also helpful when you're interested in designing methods that provide providers the place scaling to heavy demand is important. This could be troublesome to wrap your mind round should you're still picking up the basics of programming, because it's more frequent to start learning imperatively. In comparison, a program in an imperative type makes it simple to entry and modify external information that's shared all through this system's execution. It made its first look in 1986, and it focuses on concurrent programming. This means that its features and restrictions are ideal for building systems the place a number of, distinct processes have to run concurrently while still communicating with each other. If you're interested in building programs or cellular apps for these environments, Swift is a great language to learn. It's also straightforward to learn and write, so it's an excellent possibility for novice programmers.
Like Python, R is commonly used to perform statistical evaluation of information, in addition to construct internet functions or write scripts to perform numerous duties. If you're simply starting out with programming, turning into acquainted with a basic-function language like Python as a substitute of R may lead to more tangible advantages in the long run. R is a programming language targeted on information evaluation and data visualization. Thus, it may not be the most effective language to start out with if you're trying to acquire skills and knowledge of the issues you'll experience as a programmer. While C# offers assist for many programming types, it's usually utilized in an object-oriented means like Java. Its syntax has many similarities with Java's as properly, so a programmer skilled in either of those languages shouldn't have much problem transitioning between them.
This object-oriented programming language is based on the idea of prototypes. It derives some of its options from Smalltalk and a few from the Self language. The Slate design is meant at providing the programmers with an operating system-like setting. It is a multi-paradigm programming language, which provides object-oriented and practical programming features.
Like many fashionable programming languages, Swift has a extremely readable syntax, runs code quickly, and can be utilized for each client-side and server-side improvement.
Like we now have completely different languages to communicate with each other, likewise, we've totally different languages like C, C++, C#, Java, python, etc to communicate with the computer systems.
PHP can be thought-about one of the easiest programming languages because of how seamlessly its responses can be introduced to a user's browser via HTML.
PHP's makes it straightforward for developers to retrieve and retailer information in databases whereas also processing and replying to customers' requests.
Swift is Apple's language for creating applications for Mac computers and Apple's cellular devices, together with the iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch.
The piece of code given under performs a primary task of printing "hiya world!. We must know that keyboard, scanner, mouse, microphone, and so forth are varied examples of enter devices and monitor, printer, speaker, etc are the examples of output units. Beginning in 2003, C++ noticed a decline in its popularity when Java and Python were gaining traction. The most necessary factor of choosing a language is figuring out which motivates you probably the most to start out studying and building your own creations.
Everything else will finally follow–as long as you keep working, creating your own initiatives, and studying all you could about programming. With that being mentioned, it would make sense to begin with Erlang or Elixir as a first language when you're prepared learn practical programming concepts.
