Part 1, featuring northern Thailand, is here.
On this trip, I really wanted to visit one of Thailand's three ancient capitals, and I set my sights on Sukhothai, arguably the most impressive of the three capitals, and smack dab between Chiang Mai and Bangkok. When I left Chiang Mai, I had three days to reach Bangkok to meet Alex, so I made a pit-stop. I arrived in Sukhothai to find it unbearably hot, but spent my single day there braving the 100-degree heat and riding my bicycle all around the ruins in the old city.
If we completely ignore the fact that there was absolutely no way for me to escape the heat in Sukhothai (there wasn't even air conditioning in my sad little hotel room), it was a really amazing place. And it was a good solo-travel day for me. I navigated the historical park's 70 square kilometers all on my own. I climbed giant hills, marveled at all of the gorgeous Buddha statues, and tried really hard not to suffer from heat stroke. In the end, it was one of best things I did in Thailand. I've realized on this trip that ruins are totally my thing.
My next couple of days following Sukhothai were mostly uneventful. I took another 7-hour bus ride from Sukhothai to Bangkok, where I spent hours wandering around the streets (as I always seem to do in Bangkok). I spent one quick night at a hostel before heading to a hotel Alex and I booked the next morning. We paid about the same as you would to stay at a Motel 6 in the U.S. for a room at what is definitely the nicest hotel I've ever stayed at, and man did I take advantage of it. After weeks spent in non-air conditioned, $5-a-night, 16-bed dorm rooms, I was like a kid in a candy shop at that hotel. I spent all day at the pool, got the worst sunburn of my life thanks to some Thai sunscreen that turned out to not be water-resistant, and basically just twiddled my fingers and waited for Alex's plane to arrive at 11 p.m. I was excited to see him, and even more excited to spend a week doing basically nothing but lying on a beach with him.
We had a quick couple of days in Bangkok, mostly spent lounging around so Alex could get over his jet lag. We went to the Royal Palace, which was eons busier than when Rach and I had visited two years earlier. I wanted Alex to experience a temple, but it ended up being a really unpleasant trip with the heat and throngs of Chinese tourists all around us. After a quick hour, we found our way to the airport for our flight to Krabi. We were so ready to be on a beach.
Descending onto Krabi was magical. I felt the same as I had two years earlier when I watched as we passed over beautiful Thai islands on the flight to Phuket. It was sunset as we landed, and Krabi was lush and green, unlike the dry north. It took us a long time to get to our island paradise, Koh Yao Yai. After a bunch of buses and boats and taxis, we were dropped off at the back of our resort which seemed to be under construction. There was no reception that we could see, and we were worried we'd somehow booked a terrible place for four days. We walked around the building, though, and were greeted with a rush of wind from the ocean, and a gorgeous reception and restaurant area overlooking the beach. It was perfect.
Our little bungalow was maybe 100 feet from the water's edge with a porch for two, one of our favorite things in the whole wide world. It was a modest little room, but we were so happy and excited to swim and do nothing for a few days, we didn't even care. It was everything we needed.
Alex and I haven't ever really vacationed together. Typically, our travel excursions end with us coming home more exhausted than when we left because we end up exploring more than we relax. Our time on Koh Yao Yai, though, was definitely a vacation. The most relaxing vacation I've ever had. For three days, we laid under trees, we swam, we kayaked, we sat on our porch for hours, and just hung out. Of course, we needed one day of adventure, so we booked a boat trip around Phang Nga Bay, an area near our island surrounded by gorgeous limestone cliffs. It was the best day of our entire trip, and we had so much fun climbing hills and swimming in the crystal blue sea and staring up at the cliffs jutting out of the water everywhere.
After our time at Koh Yao Yai, we spend a couple of days at Railay Beach. It was set up like Pai – with little backpacker hangouts everywhere and kabob and roti stands and massages on the beach. Our hotel was amazing, atop a hill with a giant karst in view from the swimming pool. We swam and relaxed and spent a morning kayaking among the cliffs. And somehow, before we knew it, it was time for us to fly to Cambodia to round out our time together at Angkor Wat. We savored one last curry dish, and started making our way to a brand new country.

Q: What am I missing in my Karma-Jasmine Unit Test case? I am trying to fix some test cases in my code base and found this particular case which I cannot seem to figure out.
The test runs but it complains about NullInjectorError: No provider for Function!
I cannot figure out why I am getting this error messages.
Angular version: 11.2.10
Here's the test case (nothing out of the ordinary) - all the imports are included (but omitted here from brevity):
import { ComponentFixture, TestBed, waitForAsync } from '@angular/core/testing';

import { BLADE_DATA, BladeComponent } from './blade.component';
import { RouterTestingModule } from '@angular/router/testing';
import { PortalModule } from '@angular/cdk/portal';

describe('BladeComponent', () => {
  let component: BladeComponent;
  let fixture: ComponentFixture<BladeComponent>;

  beforeEach(waitForAsync(() => {
    TestBed.configureTestingModule({
      declarations: [BladeComponent],
      imports: [RouterTestingModule, PortalModule ],
    }).compileComponents();
  }));

  beforeEach(() => {
    fixture = TestBed.createComponent(BladeComponent);
    component = fixture.componentInstance;
    fixture.detectChanges();
  });

  it('should create', () => {
    expect(component).toBeTruthy();
  });
});

Here's the component - also very basic:
@Component({
  selector: 'app-blade',
  templateUrl: './blade.component.html',
  styleUrls: ['./blade.component.scss'],
})
export class BladeComponent {

  public title: string;
  public parentTab: TabInfo;
  public showOpenTabIcon = true;

  constructor(public component: Type<any>) {}

  /**
   * Convenience function to set this base class data from the injected data object.
   *
   * @param data the data for this blade
   */
  protected setData(data: any): void {
    // ...
    // sets the data (i.e. this.title = data.title)
  }
}

This is the error message:
NullInjectorError: R3InjectorError(DynamicTestModule)[Function -> Function]:

An A-List for Death
Jun 2022 · Sold by HarperCollins Australia
Shooting for fame could end your career ... and your life. A sparkling mystery from a stylish new voice in crime fiction, in a book that will delight fans of Richard Osman and Kerry Greenwood.
TV researcher Poppy McGowan has never sought the spotlight and is none too happy to be photographed with rock god Nathan Castle. When the photo pops up on celebrity gossip sites, it sparks a media feeding frenzy, forcing Poppy to go to ground, don a wig, and pull some nifty moves to escape a tailing car. On top of that, she cops abuse from Nathan's outraged fans.
None of this would have happened if Poppy hadn't found Nathan's mother Daisy, one-time glamour girl and elderly best friend of her Aunty Mary, bleeding and unconscious in her bathroom. The police dismiss the case as an accident, but Poppy is sure there are questions to be answered. Who attacked Daisy, and why? Will she come out of her coma? What secrets are her gathering family hiding? What happens to Daisy's money if she dies?
When a murder occurs outside Daisy's flat, the police step in at last. Unfortunately, they finger Poppy's boyfriend, Tol, for the crime - after all, he had bad blood with the victim. As Daisy's money-hungry family circle amid hints of poisoning, bribery and blackmail, Poppy must find a way to clear Tol's name and ensure Daisy's safety.
'A comedic take on celebrity culture, fandom, senior citizens and archaeology. Witty, entertaining, fabulous.' Petronella McGovern, bestselling author of The Good Teacher
'A media-savvy Australian crime novel with a dash of black comedy and enough red herrings and revelations to keep the reader guessing.' The Age
'A deliciously fun murder mystery.' Woman's Day
Duchess Sarah Ferguson
An A-List for Death is a fitting follow-up to 2021's popular Digging Up Dirt. Despite the rather violent actual and attempted murders, the mood is light and frequently humorous. There's an intriguing cast of potential suspects, some sympathetic, others considerably less so. The setting is evocative of Sydney in late spring, with several real-life locations depicted and their architecture subjected to Hart's critical eye. Thanks to Pamela Hart, Harlequin Australia / HQ Fiction and NetGalley.

Guilford's Geirge Sanderlin lifts Branford's Peyton Tracy in the air at 138 pounds on Thursday.
BRANFORD — Because of an injury and illness, Guilford was forced to send a very young team to the mat Thursday night.
After wrestling 11 freshmen or sophomores in 14 matches at the Whippet Duals in Windham over the weekend, the youthful Indians needed a quick pinfall in the final individual bout of the night to hold off a furious Branford comeback and record a 42-34 victory Thursday night in a Southern Connecticut Conference interdivision wrestling match.
It took 106-pound freshman Drew Koval just 16 seconds to make quick work of fellow freshman Aidan Shamas in the final bout of the night to give Guilford the win.
"They are perennially a good SCC school," Branford coach Jesse Hurlburt said.
After splitting the first two individual bouts of the night, Guilford took control of the match and never relinquished the lead. The Indians won four straight matches, all by pinfall, before Branford was able to stop the bleeding.
After Guilford's Edward Barlage got things going with a pin at 113 pounds, Jace Korab came up with a pin at 120 pounds for the Hornets.
Guilford, which is very strong from 126 to 145 pounds, used pins from Anthony Bombgardner, Keldon LaRose (2nd in Class M last year), George Sanderlin and Vincent Mascola to take a 30-6 edge.
Branford's A.J. Robinson ended the stretch with a 13-5 major decision at 152 pounds, but then Guilford took a 36-13 edge when Aiden Ghiroli won by pin at 160 pounds to give the Indians their largest lead of the night, 36-10.
It was at that point that Branford got back into the match in a hurry with its strength coming in the upper weight classes. The Hornets also changed their original lineup by bumping wrestlers around and it worked perfectly.
Nate Mathis took a 6-4 win at 170 pounds and then Branford collected two consecutive big wins. Spencer Lyon was a forfeit benefactor of Guilford missing its 182-pounder sophomore Ryan Serpis due to illness. Justin Osler followed that up with a pin at 195 pounds.
Colin McHenry came back from being down, 5-1, in the first period of the best match of the night at 220 pounds to pull out a 10-7 victory, it closed Branford to within just 8 points, 36-28. The Hornets knew they had to win both matches remaining to take the match. Minsok Lee pinned Vincent Massotti at 285 pounds to make it 36-34 before Koval ended the match in a flurry.
Branford fell to 6-5 with the loss.

Trailblazer THE FOURTH PILLAR OF SUSTAINABILITY: CULTURE'S ESSENTIAL ROLE IN PUBLIC PLANNING
Jon Hawkes (2001)
Hawkes concern is that current discussion of the idea of sustainable societies focuses on three pillars: social equity and justice, environmental responsibility, and economic viability. He sees these as essential, but insufficient to support the future survival and well-being of humankind: a fourth pillar is required, namely cultural development.
He describes culture as 'the bedrock of society' which involves:
•	our values and aspirations;
•	the processes and media through which we develop, receive and	transmit these values and aspirations; and
•	the tangible and intangible manifestations of these values and	aspirations: the customs, faiths and conventions; codes of manners,	dress, cuisine, language, arts, science, technology; religions and	rituals; norms and regulations of behaviour; traditions; and institutions	of groups of humans.
He tackles the meaning to be attributed to 'values' by starting from the premise that people endeavour to make sense of their lives. He writes:
I take it as self-evident that humans feel it necessary to make sense of their lives and to conduct themselves on the basis of that sense. This process and its results manifest themselves as a value system - a culture. The social dimensions of this activity constitute a society's culture.(p5)
Having defined his terms he then makes the reasonable assertion that all acts by government, at any level, which involve intervention in the public domain, are fundamentally informed by sets of values, which are sometimes expressed but often are simply assumed. This leads him to argue that government needs means of developing, expressing and applying the values of the society which it represents and serves.
In order to demonstrate what may be meant by society's values he lists some of the values to be found in planning documents. He sees these as values on which today's societies would express unanimity. This is his list:
•	participation, engagement and democracy;•	tolerance, compassion and inclusion;•	freedom, justice and equality;•	peace, safety and security;•	health, wellbeing and vitality;•	creativity, imagination and innovation;•	love and respect for the environment. (p7)
Hawkes suggests that, in its simplest form, sustainability is about our desire for future generations to inherit a world at least as bountiful as ours. The problem is how to achieve the value system that this entails when the predominant one is of ever-increasing consumption - which we know is not sustainable.
This leads Hawkes to argue that a sustainable society depends upon the vitality of a sustainable culture and so cultural action is needed to prepare for it. In his terms cultural action arises in communities as a result of their wellbeing and this depends upon the shared sense of meaning and purpose of its members. While there should be some basic agreements among communities, cultural diversity is vital because we must have a pool of diverse perspectives in order to survive, to adapt to changing conditions, to embrace the future. (p14)
But how can this happen in many of the communities of today's world? Involvement in cultural action requires the belief that one's contribution can be effective. Yet with so many political decisions taken by experts many crucial issues are so far beyond the influence of citizens 'that even thinking about them guarantees frustration'.
Hawkes is emphatic that communities have a right, as well as a responsibility, to engage with the values that determine the nature of their society. He puts it like this: In a vital society, the meaning we make of our lives is something we do together, not an activity to be left to others, no matter how skilled, or representative, they may claim to be. (p16)
He goes on to assert that finding ways of doing this should be a primary responsibility of government. And he speculates that local government may be the best locus for such cultural action because:
It is the tier of governance closest to the citizenry, and therefore (at least theoretically) the one most in touch with, and capable of being responsive to, its constituency. It is probably the best governance level at which to develop new methodologies of participatory democracy and cultural action. It is ideally placed to stimulate community debate on the values and aspirations that should inform our future, and to plan its actions in direct response to the visions of the community. (p16)
But he is well aware that it can go sour for he insists that the development of community culture depends upon the capacity of its members to understand, trust and respect one another. This is a basic cultural need of all communities if they are to cohere and develop.
Hawkes sees culture as the product of human interaction, ever changing and arising in daily public events in the streets, shops and cafes as much as in schools and the media. Cultural vitality is manifest in:robust diversity, tolerant cohesiveness, multi-dimensional egalitarianism, compassionate inclusivity, energetic creativity, open-minded curiosity, confidence independence, rude health. (p23)
How does this relate to 'the arts'? First, Hawkes sees the arts as the symbolic language of shifting meanings of culture. He rejects the idea of art as 'an industry manufacturing commodities', 'a band-aid to disguise social inequity', 'a badge of superiority' or 'a decorative embellishment'. He looks for active participation in the arts of all citizens and writes:
No longer can we be content to leave the creation of meaning to 'the experts'. Yes, it is wonderful to live in a society in which those who choose to devote their entire lives to art are cherished and respected. But this should not diminish our own confidence in making meaning, it should not allow us to become lazy, embarrassed, passive witnesses, silent consumers, mere customers. The new rhetoric is 'engagement' - the first engagement we should have is with arts practice. ... [We should be] offering all citizens, and their offspring, the opportunity to actively participate in arts practice - to make their own culture. (p24)
His rationale for this view is powerful and again needs to be quoted comprehensively. Rhetorically he asks why should everyone engage in the arts?
Because the arts are the creative imagination at work (and play). Its techniques involve improvisation, intuition, spontaneity, lateral thought, imagination, co-operation, serendipity, trust, inclusion, openness, risk-taking, innovation, fortitude and an ability and willingness to delve beneath the surface, beyond the present, above the practical and the fixed. These are the aspects of human behaviour that social scientists have identified as being the source and manifestation of creativity and innovation - the essential elements for the survival of the species. An innovative society is open-minded, curious, compassionate and lively; it respects and embraces difference. In so being, it is able to meet every challenge and adapt to changing circumstances. But it can only become so if its citizens are comfortable with applying their creative imaginations to new and changing situations. (p24)
This is why he links culture with ecological, social and economic sustainability and argues that any planning process of government should pass through a framework of questions arising from all four of these 'pillars' and why it is local government in direct interaction with its communities that should take the lead in striving for a sustainable society.

Miranda Washinawatok, 12, was suspended from a basketball game after being reprimanded for using the Menominee language in class.
Miranda Washinawatok, a 12 year old Menominee student at Sacred Heart Catholic Academy in Shawano, Wisconsin, was suspended from school and school functions for speaking in the Menominee language while in class.
Sacred Heart is more than 60 percent Native American, and is less than 6 miles from the Menominee Indian Tribe Reservation.
As Reported by Native History Online:
When Miranda was teaching a classmate to say "posoh" and "ketapanen" on January 19, her teacher scolded her. Native News Network reported her saying "You are not to speak like that! How do I know you're not saying something bad? How would you like it if I spoke in Polish and you didn't understand?" The words Miranda was chastised for translate to "hello" and "I love you" in Menominee.
"Miranda kept saying she was only told by her assistant coach she was being benched because two teachers said she had a bad attitude," Tanaes Washinawatok, Miranda's mother, told Native News Network. "I wanted to know what she did to make them say she had a bad attitude." There is dispute over who actually did the suspending, but the school has admitted it "failed miserably in its handling of the matter." Deacon Ray DuBois, the communication director for the Diocese of Green Bay, which operates the school, also told Native News Network that the school does not prohibit the use of any language and that "the number one priority is to help this girl."
Miranda isn't a troublemaker. Her mother told Native News that she is mature and respectful. Miranda plays basketball and is the team captain of a volleyball team. "When it comes to Native language, Miranda should be proud she learned and can speak her Native language," wrote Levi Rickert in a February 4 post on Native News Network.
Tara McGregor, a commenter at Nativenewsnetwork.com, says "As a teacher you have a responsibility to be culturally aware of your students and encourage diversity. This is a reminder to all of us that this type of oppression still exists. I hope that this example of ignorance is not forgotten, and we continue to move forward while creating a world that fosters children who embrace their heritage."
Rhonda LeValdo, of the Acoma Pueblo and president of the Native American Journalists Association, wrote a piece for Native Connection stating Indian country's support for Miranda. She says: "All Americans need to know about the boarding schools. They need to know how the language was beaten out of many of our elders, so much that their children never learned the language for that fear of them being hurt. This all happened in this country and so many deny the abuses, but it happened."
What happened to this 12 year old child is wrong. She did nothing wrong, yet she was chastised by staff and ostracized from school functions in which she normally participated in. What are your thoughts on this? Leave your comments below.

Thanks for your interest in microformats!
There are community members from all around the world in the forum, which is also logged and read by many others even if offline. Go ahead and ask any questions you want to about microformats there, and someone will likely work with you to figure out the answers!
Thanks again, and see you on #microformats!
⚠ Warning: This page is in general out of date, see irc for discussions.
Read the microformats discuss page first.
Then read the mailing list policies.
Then read the respective archives (-discuss, -dev, -new).
After that please see the following additional notes of scope and topics for each list.
To subscribe to any of the mailing lists discussed below, please see http://microformats.org/discuss/ - here you will find all relevant subscription links, archives and also access to lists you are already subscribed to where you may change the email address you are subscribed with and the level of emails you will receive (all or digest).
Here is a list of general guidelines to follow in microformats list discussions in general. The overall goal of many of these guidelines is to increase the signal to noise ratio on the lists by encouraging signal, and discouraging noise. Maximizing the signal-to-noise ratio (S/N) is essential to scaling a list membership, and thus as microformats grow in popularity, maximizing S/N becomes more and more important. If you have suggestions for general guidelines, please post them to the microformats-discuss list so that the list-admins may consider your suggestions.
The microformats mailing lists are configured to only accept plain text (text/plain) emails.
Change your email client to send text/plain.
The microformats.org community is quite different than both other standards organizations and most open source efforts in (at least) one very important way: this community is a much nicer place to be, with people in general treating each other with a lot of respect and benefit of the doubt.
This guideline, which may seem totally obvious, is made explicit because of a few bad examples.
This friendlier tone in the community is something that the community very much values and will fight to defend. The admins will take swift action to ban or moderate individuals who essentially are "jerks" on IRC or any of the lists.
If you see someone being rude, please ask them *privately* to not do so, and if necessary contact one or more of the admins, again privately (feel free to CC them on a single email) pointing out the behavior. Admins will likely respond to rude individuals publicly to make it clear their behavior is not acceptable.
Note: neutral tone emails that use simple logical/rational emotion-free language are perfectly fine. This guideline is not a request to add artificial kindness etc. to emails. Nor is it a discouragement to engage in constructively critical discourse.
Comment on content, not on the contributor. Personal attacks do not help make a point.
Personal Attacks (ad hominem, name-calling, etc.) on one or a set of individuals will be pointed out by the admins, and will likely only receive one warning. Upon a second such personal attack an admin will likely ban the attacking individual.
If you do make a mistake and make a personal attack, consider following-up with a public apology, as doing so demonstrates personal responsibility, good will, and a desire to improve the overall tone of conversations.
Paul Graham's Gresham's Law of trolls - in short: trolls use forums with thoughtful people, but thoughtful people leave forums with trolls. Thus if a community wants to keep thoughtful people, it must pro-actively ban those that troll.
Every open source project runs into people who are selfish, uncooperative, and disrespectful. These people can silently poison the atmosphere of a happy developer community. Come learn how to identify these people and peacefully de-fuse them before they derail your project. Told through a series of (often amusing) real-life anecdotes and experiences.
The community, as part of its broader positive tone, tries to be fairly patient with folks, and we want to continue to encourage that. The microformats lists will always (assuming continued growth and popularity) get new subscribers, and these new subscribers may be unfamiliar with the customs and conventions of the community. As an experienced member in the community, please be patient with new subscribers, and help them improve their behavior by kindly pointing out relevant guidelines and answers on the wiki. However, if it appears that a newcomer has a negative attitude, please raise it to the attention of the admins (offlist) with an official complaint email that references (by email archive URL) or includes the email that demonstrates the negative attitude. Negativity is the biggest exception - this community has very little patience for negativity (see previous Be nice guideline).
People often invent completely fictitious (and theoretical) examples in response to (perhaps rhetorical) questions or to make a point they are trying to make. microformats themselves are based on studying real world examples and designing for real world examples. Thus arguments based on theoretical examples hold much less weight in microformats discussions. Please avoid posting arguments / questions based solely on theoretical examples. [src:A,o].
If a theoretical example seems compelling to you (perhaps others may have brought it up as well), instead of emailing about it, document it on the respective specific microformat's *-brainstorming wiki page, (preferably near the bottom), and explicitly labeled as a "*theoretical example*".
ask them to provide a real world example with URL(s) and point them to the above guideline.
ask them to document their theoretical example on the respective specific microformat's *-brainstorming wiki page. Provide a direct link to the *-brainstorming page as a courtesy. Doing so may help reduce the reraising of the same theoretical example.
When people do not provide a specific URL to a test case or example, then especially as a developer, PLEASE ask them to provide a specific URL (and cite the previous guideline) rather than attempting to work out how an inline snippet of code might work.
Use the wiki. Summary: Please add any substantial content to the wiki and use email only for referring to the URLs on the wiki accordingly. If you're not sure where to add something, ask in IRC or on the list.
In particular: when providing examples or (re-)raising/opening a discussion on IRC or the mailing lists, please provide a URL to the relevant wiki page which captured the example or state of the discussion previously.
See wiki-better-than-email for some background and explanations of how and why the wiki works better than email for content in general (whether issues, brainstorms, etc.).
Then read specific microformats FAQs, e.g. for rel-tag, see the rel-tag FAQ, for adr, see the hCard FAQ as the spec indicates, etc.
Please check the relevant FAQs first, and if the answer is not there, document the question and your answer there. I.e. put-it-on-the-wiki. This is so that the community memory of answers (especially the most recent and accurate state of answers) is kept and grown in a semi-organized and hopefully easily findable fashion on the wiki, rather than deep in the depths of email archives which are often much more difficult to search, and difficult to tell what answer is "the" most recent, relevant and accurate answer.
Cite URL(s) FAQ answer(s) (that you may have just written) rather than just writing an answer, when composing your reply in email. This will hopefully encourage more reading of the wiki and thus learning of answers to microformats related questions in general.
Note: when citing URLs, make sure they answer the specific question being asked. For additional advice about providing good "RTFM" messages see JimboJW's blog post: Irresponsible use of RTFM doesn't help anyone .
Please capture specific issues regarding a specific microformats on the respective *-issues wiki page rather than email.
Please add any follow-up there rather than in email.
This will hopefully end the thread and thus avoid further email on a topic that is already documented on the wiki.
Please follow-up to issues raised in email by directing folks to raise issues on the respective *-issues wiki page rather than following-up to issues in email.
Original statement: "It's not really got much support of tools that support it and do something useful with it".
Simple contradiction: "There *is* support and there *are* tools, not least in the fields for which it was intended."
The contradiction example provided no new information that could argue against the original statement. It is no better than endless loops of "Yes it is. No it isn't. Yes it is. No it isn't.".
Instead, provide at least a short sentence with a reason which provides information beyond what is provided, such as a specific piece of information and a URL. E.g.
Better follow-up statement: "There are tools that support it, for example application XYZ, available at http://example.com/xyz ."
If you add multiple issues to a microformats issues page, and wish to announce that you did so, please only send at most one email announcing the batch of issues you added and note the URL of the issue page on the wiki, rather than sending one email per issue. Direct people to the wiki to follow-up on your issues, rather that encouraging threads of conversation/discussion per issue on the email list.
AKA topics better discussed elsewhere (somewhere other than microformats.org).
Here is a list (also not definitive) of topics which are undesired and inappopriate for the microformats-discuss mailing list. In fact, they're not even worth the time to bother discussing, so please do not bring them up on the microformats-discuss mailing list. We'll add more topics as people come up with more off-topic or out-of-scope or rathole topics.
How to make a "general purpose" (micro)format. Go read what microformats are not, actually, go read the entire principles page. Sometimes this may masquerade as a "format of formats". Either way, it is one of those boil the ocean ratholes which are far outside the focus of microformats. If you really want to work on such subjects, teach yourself DTD (SGML, XML), XML Schema, Relax NG, RDF Schema, and find the communities working on those technologies.
Using namespaces and namespace prefixes. In short, namespaces are neither necessary (the Internet ran just fine without them for decades, go read some RFCs), nor desirable (prefixes make formats far uglier and more difficult to hand-code). See also namespaces-considered-harmful.
Using non-English names for properties. This was briefly discussed on the microformats-discuss list most recently as "Language Maps" but has been raised before that. Some folks have raised the issue that microformats use English names for properties, and they would like alternate (non-English) names in other (natural) languages, and perhaps try to establish a mapping between them. As microformats property names are based on existing standards (see process, and naming-principles), this is another problem that is far outside the scope of microformats. As Ryan King put it, this is a pre-existing (unsolved) "problem" with English-based HTML, the English-based CSS, the English-based HTTP and so on. Note that this is NOT about the internationalization (i18n) of the content and data itself - which is of course an excellent goal, advocated and promoted by microformats and the standards they are based on (e.g. W3C, IETF). This is purely about the names of the properties (and enumerated values) in the formats.
Formerly, the membership to this list was moderated and limited to people who had demonstrated public implementations of microformats. We've since relaxed this requirement, yet maintain the same expectations that people involved in the discussion are focused on concrete and pragmatic topics related to writing code using microformats.
For discussion of use of microformats with REST, in protocols, services, APIs etc.
This list is for the discussion, exploration and development of new microformats.
This list was created in February 2007  to reduce the new microformat development noise on the microformats-discuss list, and allow those that are interested in exploring new microformats to concentrate their efforts.
Make sure you have read and fully understand the process and have already made your website POSH and have used existing microformats as much as you can.
Make an effort to search the mailing list archives and the wiki to see if your suggestion has already been made, or is closely related to something in existance. It may be more advisable to build on previous work. See also rejected-formats.
Be ready to show plenty of examples of what you're trying to achieve and what real problems you're trying to resolve in the first instance. Suggested formats should expect a certain amount of interrogation about the aim of a new microformat - this shouldn't be taken as negative feedback, or taken personally!
Please make a note of any suggested new microformats that do not make it through the process on the rejected-formats wiki page, along with a link to the discussion and the suggested resolution.
Discussion on how to re-use existing microformats for "new" uses.
"proposal for a new microformat: hXYZ" - especially if as your first post. Don't send a proposal email as your first email. You're likely to not get very far. In particular, it's also bad form to prematurely name a microformat hXYZ or whatever as well. See Naming consideration. And re-read the entire process.
before proposing any new microformats.
"proposal for a new microformat: hPreviousFormatProposal". This is a particular common variant of the previous bad topic for discussion. Please do not propose a microformat simply based upon taking some PreviousFormatProposal (like some random XML or RDF format proposal) and turning it into class names. While re-using an existing format (or proposal, or portion thereof) for vocabulary for a microformat may be part of developing a microformat (see process), it is insufficient.
Simply proposing a set of class names is not a microformat (again, see /wiki/process/) - at best it is a poshformat.
If you are unsure about any of guidelines, or have any other list-specific issues, you are welcome to email the list admins, e.g. for microformat-discuss: email microformats-discuss-owner at microformats dot org.
If your post to the list starts off "I'm new to the list and microformats so I don't know if you've discussed this already" READ THROUGH THE ARCHIVES!
The archives are getting larger, so here are a few simple ways you can search them. Most popular search engines imploy some sort of site based results filtering. Google does this in your initial search. Type "site:http://microformats.org/discuss/ <search terms here>" to limit the search results to only our discussion list. This will help you from asking a question that has already been posted, debated, and possibly resolved. It saves everyone time and energy!
Gmane provides an alternate search and interface as well as RSS feed for the microformats-discuss list.
For the record, view our proposals for a new mailing list for discussing the research and creation of new microformats (see "microformats-new" above) so that those discussions do not overwhelm microformats-discuss.

Q: Reading file Line By Line in C Preface:
This question is about reading a file, line by line, and inserting each line into a linked list.
I have already written the implementation for the linked list, and tested the insert() function manually. This works.
I have also written the code for reading text from a file, and writing it out. Again, this also works.
OKAY: HERE'S MY QUESTION
How can I merge these concepts, and write a function that reads text from a file, line by line, and inserts each line as a node in the linked list?
When reading from a file, I do the following:
//Code for reading a file
int c;
while((c = getc(f))!= EOF) {
    putchar(c);  //Prints out the character
}
fclose(f);  //Close the file

The insert() function takes two parameters, one being the linked list head node, and the second one being the dataEntry ("string") to be held in that node.
void insert(node_lin *head, char *dataEntry) { ... }

Hence, since the function getc gets each character separately, and the putchar writes out each character to the screen, I imagine the code to do something along these lines:

*

*Read each character until the end of file (EOF)

*For each character, until reaching a new line ('\n'), append this to the previously read characters (building a "string)

*If reaching the end of the line, insert this "string" into the linked list

*Repeat until reaching EOF
 //Code for reading a file
 int c;
 while((c = getc(f))!= EOF) {
      //Build a string here consisting of characters from c, until reaching a new line.
      /*
      if(c == '\n') {  //Indicates a new line
          //Insert the line you have into the linked list: insert(myLinkedList, line);
      }
      */
 }
 fclose(f);  //Close the file

The thing is, I already have a working read_file function, as well as a working insert() function. The thing I need help with is separating the file into lines, and inserting these.
Thanks guys!

A: Replace your character-by-character reading by something more high-level.

*

*The most typical choice would be fgets(), but that requires you to specify a static limit for the line's length.

*If you have getline() you can use that, it will handle any line-length but it is POSIX, not standarc C.

Also, you should change your insert() function to accept const char * as the second argument (and remember to allocate memory inside and copy the text, of course).

A: You can use fgets to read entire line from the file until new line character is encountered
fgets (buffer, 128, f);

When reading from a file, you can do the following:
//Code for reading a file
char buffer[128];                 // decide the buffer size as per your requirements.
while((fgets (buffer, 128, f))!= NULL) {
    printf (buffer);
}
fclose(f);  //Close the file


These grey, rainy days have left me feeling a little less than inspired.
Do you have any big plans for the weekend? I sure don't.
I'm planning to hunker down in my favourite cozy clothes (this duster cardigan definitely included!) and weather out this mega-storm we're supposed to be having this weekend in the Lower Mainland.
Happy Friday and let's hope your weekend is a whole lot more eventful — and less wet — than mine.

Kanye West Wants To Take Sunday Service To Europe & Africa In 2020
Written By Ed Powell
Source: Louis Myrie / Getty
via getupmornings/Team CASSIUS:
Kanye West's journey in non-secular music is reportedly making its way overseas.
Though Ye would normally be selling out arenas around the country like the Staples Center and Madison Square Garden after a groundbreaking new release, his new gospel has him performing with a choir instead. And now his string of Sunday Services shows might be making their way to Europe and Africa.
He's already taken Sunday Service to some huge venues with performances at Coachella and at Joel Osteen's megachurch. Osteen has even asked West to join him on his 'Night of Hope' tour. The first date goes down in September in Kanye's hometown of Chicago at Guaranteed Rate Field.
The rest of the dates haven't been nailed down but the two definitely want to do shows Detroit, L.A., and Miami come 2021.
"Our Kanye sources say he has no interest in traditional touring for his music anymore, but he does plan to keep recording gospel tunes with his choir … which he continues to fund on his own," explains TMZ.
While most people haven't been too accepting of Kanye's sudden affinity for religion, Drake recently spoke on it as well.
"God bless him on his new journey, but I don't even know if he's ever going to make secular music again or not… I don't know. If he turns up on me again, I'll turn up on him again. I guess that's what it is. I'm always down," he said of West," he told Rap Radar.
When Kanye got wind of Drake calling him secular, he wasn't happy about it.
"I take offense when somebody call me secular," West said before launching into a rant about the great things he's been doing for the Skid Row community.

John was the son of John 'the Red' Comyn, Lord of Badenoch and Lord of Lochaber (died 10 February 1306). The Comyns were among the dominant feudal families of Scotland, with strong links to the English crown and to the Baliol family which had a claim to the Scottish crown, and were therefore rivals of the Bruces.
John 'the Red' Comyn had been murdered by Robert the Bruce, the future Robert I of Scotland, before the altar at Dumfries's Greyfriars Church, an act which created major problems for Bruce, especially in his dealings with the Papacy.
The younger John, who had succeeded to the feudal barony of the Lordship of Badenoch as a result of his father's murder, was then sent by Edward I to England, where he was placed in the care of Sir John Weston, guardian of the royal children. He grew to manhood in England, and did not return to Scotland until 1314, when he was killed at the Battle of Bannockburn, fighting on the English side.
The lands of the Comyns of Badenoch were forfeited after Bannockburn. They were distributed to allies of the victorious Bruce, the Hays, Keiths and Douglasses.

Columbus Makes Art Presents Justin Withrow, Summer Jam West Muralist
July 3, 2019 10:52 am Patti Von Niessen Justin Withrow is painting this year's Summer Jam West art piece.
Decrease Font Size Increase Font Size Text Size Print This PageSend by Email
Summer Jam West is coming Saturday, July 13, from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. at Westgate Park. It's both an arts and music festival, and a non-profit organization committed to placing permanent, public art on the Hilltop. To date they've installed two sculptures, two major murals (one 80 feet long and one 95 feet long) and five eight-foot-by-four-foot art panels. The organization has commissioned Justin Withrow to paint the 2019 mural, "Peace Train."
They first encountered Justin in the fall of 2018 as he setting up his paint supply shop at 3440 W. Broad St. Justin sells specialized spray paint and streetwear for graffiti artists. He's a graffiti artist himself, and after stealing the hearts of Summer Jam West with his outspoken, rebel style, he was hired to paint the 110-foot mural "Peace Train," and the art car, "The Grape Escape." Summer Jam West caught up with him to discuss his work.
Patti: How long have you been a graffiti artist?
Justin: I've been an artist for 15 or 20 years now. Since I was a kid I've been attracted to graffiti-style artwork and the culture itself, which led to my style today. Graffiti has made me very well rounded with other art forms such as installations, sculptures, canvas, etc. So to label me as just as a graffiti artist would be incorrect.
Justin Withrow.
Patti: What first attracted you to graffiti art?
Justin: I was first attracted to graffiti art when I took up skateboarding. I'd see these characters and stylish lettered pieces done around my hometown in spray paint. I would follow a tag, which led to something more detailed and after a while of exploring, I would eventually find a masterpiece or "burner," as we would say, under a bridge or inside abandoned buildings.
Patti: Can you talk a bit about your style?
Justin: I guess you could say my style is "well rounded." I have an abstract view of letters and a good eye for perspective. I've gradually gravitated towards designs and abstracts lines that still incorporate the letters but have become more of an image in the end product. I like the 3D perspective and aggressive lines.
Patti: What inspires you?
Justin: It used to be aggression. You know, where people didn't want us skating and didn't want to build us skate parks, didn't want walls painted that were already trashed. Now what inspires me is seeing others enjoy it; seeing others want to paint, meeting and helping out new artist. And sharing knowledge about the culture. I also like being hired to paint walls because it validates that others believe in me, my style and know that my work will make a business one-of-a-kind and stand out from the others.
Supplies at Lookout Supply.
Patti: Is there a difference between street art and graffiti?
Justin: Yes. Graffiti was something for the artists to enjoy and to possibly make a statement. Something out of the norm. It's their own personal self expression and very letter-based. Street art is multimedia and well rounded. It's taking an object and turning it into something else, using wheat pastes, much more image oriented. Street art is for the public and not font-based. I like to think that graffiti artists inspired street art. I think they paved the way for street artists, which in turn made the public more aware and accepting of graffiti art.
Patti: As an artist, what challenges do you face?
Justin: The biggest challenge is people wanting to pay for your time and product, but not your skill level. You need to figure out how to represent yourself, how you stand out from the others, how much to charge and how much to do for free so you're still giving back to the communities that need you. You need to figure out your own way and your own path.
See Justin's mural "Peace Train" at 2322 Sullivant Ave. in the Hilltop. Summer Jam West arts and music festival is Saturday, July 13, from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. at Westgate Park at 455 S. Westgate Ave., Columbus, Ohio 43204.

Chapter 8 – The Stellar Career of Jonathan Fischer
The Stellar Career of Jonathan Fischer (cabaret wit chapter of ghostwriter Albert Stein alias "Pumuckel Einstein", still unsuitable for small children and defiant despots)
After Jonathan Fischer's trip to China and a following successful hip surgery returned the everyday professional life. In the first place, Adolfo Massonico, the retiring opera singing directorate of the Sandbank Denkenstadt eG was honoured in a farewell festive assembly. Anyway, his successor Gebhart Scharkfisch was an even bigger supporter and mentor of Jonathan.
As a start, an extraordinary episode came to pass with a widow from Iraq named Annahilde Abraham. The poor woman lived in Baghdad and had to suffer the tragic loss of her husband. Under the regime of Saddam Hussein he was publicly executed because of his Christian confession. In great fear, Annahilde fled with her ten-year-old boys across the Turkish border to Germany. She was very miracle-minded, for she told everyone that she could stroll through the closed border, since guardian angels would have put the border guards into a deep sleep. In Germany she was initially only tolerated and even threatened with deportation. Seeing that, a workmate of Jonathan called Gisela Dingeralm came into play. Her husband was deacon of the Protestant church in Denkenstadt. Through his collection of signatures and a petition that followed the family was not deported. Jonathan admired the cashier Dingeralm, since she went shopping every week with the widow and looked after her finances. The twin brothers Rimbo and Rambo were as alike as Tweedledum and Tweedledee, had little different preferences, and were hard to tame. Rimbo wore always a smurf hat and Rambo's anytime, anywhere toy was a royal crown. The decision from Annahilde to give her boys in the care of the well-known football coach Andreas Mehrdarfer proved spot on. Andreas managed also a prosperous sports shop in Denkenstadt, besides his engagement in the football division of the TSV. The boys got as nicknames the flying lion and the flying dragon, for they excessively drank Red Bull, a drink which was not on the doping list and helped them to enforce the highest header wings. Moreover, they had an affection for garments which were imprinted with winged lions and dragons. Coach Mehrdarfer let them reluctantly fly away, but he realized that it was time to aim at a new club with the Stuttgarter Kickers. During his active career, Andreas reached with the team the final of the DFB Cup and therefore went around with the president. Thanks to the efforts of the twin striker pair, who got on like a house on fire in building a successful tongs-strike, the club could achieve the renewed rise into the upper league. The burning ambition of both was untameable, because after football practice they learned from the sprinters of the athletics section of the club how to bolt and thus lowered their one hundred meters time under eleven seconds. Some horned players' agents shoved family Abraham, for they seemingly rammed a worthwhile food. Now, good shepherd Jonathan entered the pasture, since he knew the twin lambs as goalkeeper trainer in their nursing period of the TSV little sheep flock. Jonathan enjoyed it to compare the different proposals as a player agent and got an unbeatable offer of the Al Alhi Club in Dubai. Whereas the Iraqis spoke good Arabic and were still stateless, they got the promise to be immediately taken into the national team, in case of moving into the highly sophisticated new home emirate. So the family flew with Emirates, the best airline of the world, to Dubai, the most ambitious city in the world. When they left the airport portal and were guided into a Jaguar, Annahilde and her sons felt that they were just about to leave behind their poor Bedouin life by passing through the gate of a world full of wealth. In this country their assignment was waiting, in particular to enjoy the greatest prosperity and luxury. Henceforth the poor widow felt like in Abraham's bosom. She could spend the rest of her life on the goat leather couch in her air-conditioned beach tent with a splendid sea view. Lifted up through the black gold like a phoenix from the ashes, nothing in the dessert town could be shaken sensed Anahild. The same thought had her twins, who both bought a multimillion penthouse apartment in two of the giant cloud towers near the artificial sand islands.
Jonathan received the request to work still as a soccer agent in the Muslim state and could withdraw from his bank. However, he didn't. His new mentor Scharkfisch sent him to one continued education seminary after the other at the cooperative academies in Hohenheim and Montabaur. Fully concentrated, Jonathan could improve his studies, achieving excellent results.
But everything turned out even better. A customer and party comrade, financially advised for many years by Jonathan, for whom he often walked the dog, became successful in politics and society. His name was Max Moritz Straussinger. Max Moritz experienced a meteoric rise with his idea of bringing together the influential and rich members of the high society in exclusive reunions organised by him. He even gained a good reputation as a matchmaker in aristocratic circles. Thus, he managed to hook a biking, war-worn paddle pond minister up with a chatting, sexy playmate countess. Aptly meeting the political haut gout, he received cosmopolitan awards. Being overweight in body and in conveying tanks, submarines and weapons, the gun enthusiast enriched the smaller Volksbank through the fattening of his slaughtered piggy bank. To make it bigger, Straussinger wanted to establish a foundation for which he needed Jonathan's help. Bank account authorised Jonathan should play the cashier too. The payment for this volunteer work was royal. In principality Jonathan was promised to come together with some higher blue bloods. More lustful the trip started from Stuttgart to Vaduz to aim at a Greek investor group associated establishment. Upon arrival in the marble hall of the Hotel Diana they met only an Arab queen who promptly invited them for a delicious gala dinner. In the middle of the pillared entrance hall the hostel had as eye-catcher with special attraction a poly-busty statue of Artemis. The playboy Max-Moritz had the idea to invite some bunnies for a glass of champagne in the Elizabeth Separee. Jonathan especially liked the young photographer Petra. That's why he wondered which career she is making.
"In view of the oldest profession of the world I do in here sit, waiting for the promised bid of dibs."
Straussinger and the strumpets laughed lustily, Jonathan bailed out, off the hook, he hopped into his house, detecting another mouse.
In good mood he found the room soon, looking for the mattress, to pick up on the mistress.
He lifted the curved blanket, including dessous lying strumpet.
As a Christian groom to moon, his threshold went over in art, the public woman haven't played one's part.
Taking the teleguidance he was not seeking for another wife, watching out for Joyce Meyer in enjoying everyday life.
But Jonathan had to turn off the TV, no more take off females to see. The directors were dirty swine, which behaved that there programme is fine.
Therefore in the twinkling of an eye, the deep thinker went out like a light.
On the following day the German national football team played in the World Cup final against the Liechtenstein dwarf team, which had appeared at the scene of the home World Championships like a giant. However, no-one was surprised about this success, for Alois, Hereditary Prince of Liechtenstein, had previously bought the best players in the world and naturalized them at the drop of a hat.
Max-Moritz received two Arena tickets through a buy over invitation of an enlightening bank:
The Kaiser-Lounge was reserved for them, filling Jonathan with amazement. The Prince was an expert in money, the Emperor was an expert in football, the Chancellor was an expert in the reunification, and the released woman at his side was an expert in sending text messages. The heir to the throne boasted of his bank, which secretly and securely accepted deposit money, the chancellor Helmut boasted of a reunion for solidarity little money, the kaiser Franz boasted about two World Cup titles and earned much money, wherefore he chose the domicile Austria. The divorced successor Angela on Helmut's separating side was the really clever one, being informed from all sides. Angie embraced Jonathan every time after Jürgen Klinsmann's seven diving header goals. Anyhow, the six overhead kick goals from Jay Göppingen followed a genuine concern. Alas, the colossal live spectacle came to an end, the celebrities shook their hands. The final score was seven to six for Germany, wherefore the international law offended country father disappeared in his art goods deprived palace. Time was over in the VIP area, since the fourth empire had won castle high.
Max-Moritz and Jonathan went into one of the many discreet sanctuaries of the mini state. As it turned out it was the most princely & pricey of all. The Swiss trustee introduced oneself as Benedictus Chamberlain and was amused that his organ and the Regensburger Domspatzen (cathedral sparrows) didn't already piped & twittered it out. Jonathan was impressed by the numerous medals and awards of the Lord Honorary Consul with the white gloves, hanging at his columns. A lesson was hold how millions can be profitably hid. The plan was to establish a foundation for the help of disabled people combined with public advertisement to get donations. On trust, the money should be managed by the Liechtenstein National Bank and nobody should know that Straussinger is behind the foundation. Agent Benedictus would be on the receiving end of the outside world, holding the true interconnection in a safety deposit box. On the basis of his continuing education Jonathan interrogated whether there could be a stinking problem for money laundering or tax evasion. "Ugh, that's disgusting! Where would we be then?" responded the Geneva advocate, using a French perfume. In conclusion his powdered clientele was composed of the Bacardi boozing mafia, water pipe smoking princes, party donating exile arms dealer, and pear-shaped chancellors. As a matter of fact, half of the EU government controlled aid budgets for Palestine were multiplied from the faithful Christian for a Parisian Maltese Muslim widow. "If and when the politicians even know about it, then the thing couldn't be so wrong," noticed Jonathan. Serving the needs of humanity, the philanthropist attested that yet the party donations were secretly knitted into grannies trusts. Many documents had to be signed at the altar-style desk, while "the holy chamberlain" revealed one ironic mystery after the other. He had a radiant, hollow, extraterrestrial, grinning crystal skull named Emil standing on his secretary, which he buried together with the signed, intra muros wills in the safe, fabricated by the company Steinberger. The deal was sealed with a sip of apple juice from paradisaical Mayan crystal skull glasses. Max Moritz kissed the ring of the Sovereign Grand Inspector General and said goodbye. Leaving the eighteen-story granite building they met King Hussein with a Damocles sword on his old warhorse and were en passant conferred to Rosicrucian Knights. Shiver me timbers! Such a life Jonathan had imagined.
When he mentioned the events to his commander-in-chief with the nickname Fürst Gebhart, the most envious one decided to give him a new task. This was pretty much okay with Jonathan, for the greasy case smuggling to Switzerland in the long run could strike into the Maltese cross.
Jonathan should prove his top qualities as real estate agent, whilst he was allowed to broker a practically unsaleable polygon. The object was in the prime location of Birkenkopf at the top edge of Stuttgart, but designedly had no windows apart from a rooflight. The freelance mason and architect was the deceased head of the Stuttgart Observatory, who had an inclination for the bright-dark powers of his triangular world. Passing a monumental sphinx, the only entrance opened up through the underground garage, and the only way for ventilation offered the cockloft, where his custom-built Carl Zeiss telescope and a cat door window were on the move. The world famous building was a pyramid with a nightmarish familiarity. The lady of the haunted house, Lore Osiris, died a few years ago from a rare disease that prevented her to leave the darkness of her home. The host himself was the well-known Egyptian astronomer Ramses Ra, who mysteriously crashed through the roof of the observatory into death. The main reason of Jonathan's brokerage problems lay in the fact that his client – the daughter and famous fortune teller Magdalena Osiris-Ra – had to fulfil a specific legacy. In the basement of the house remained the bones of both parents. There was a system with 33 grave niches, through which the two parental coffins had to traverse according to a predetermined schedule. The burial niches were arranged in tiers, and every 13 years the sarcophagi should be lifted up a step higher. The owner of the object had to bind oneself to this procedure, otherwise the house had to be passed on to a caring foundation. After the unsuccessful advertisement in Immobilien Scout 24 and Immowelt, Jonathan got the flash of inspiration how he conjuring could flog the object still for the desired sum of 666,000 DM. Without any engagement he sent a binding exposé to David Geller, the world famous magic grandmaster with a seasonal home in Las Vegas. To be hooked and on fire, the one and only desperately wanted to have the telescope and the sphinx for a new flight number. Forthwith, the summoning artist cooked up an oracle which allowed him to charm the desired object entirely free. A collaborative notary appointment with Uwe Baumann was arranged. Magdalena and Jonathan asked if it is possible to put in place something like a right of residence for the deceased and not coming to rest souls. The shrewd VIP notary bite into a paradise apple, getting a much better idea. He sold the upper part to Geller and drafted a declaration of division in which the basement was sold to a David Geller Foundation for 666,000 DM. The purpose of the Foundation was to acquire the right for other triangle believers to let their ash urn move higher every 13 years. Jonathan was interested in the newspaper as unprecedented 13 billion British pounds were deposited in the foundation stock. The trustee Geller had induced an anonymous auction at Sotheby's for the limited gravestone sites, where the unexpected amount of money was paid. Since this is a fiction, the rapporteurs let out the trade secret for the interested readers and reveal that even the Queen of England wanted to entomb her cousin in Stuttgart.
Jonathan's flight of fancy made his friend Gebhart Scharkfisch too weird. Such being the case, he decided to transfer his Achilles' heel pursuer. In the fast-growing neighbouring community Scharnhauser Park currently a confraternity building with the name Park Haus was completed. Now, the bank intended to rent the lower spaces and to establish a branch. Jonathan would thus get the chance to prove whether he had qualities in personnel management. The wily shark Scharkfisch usually did not let go his prey. All the more irritated him the instructions of the admiral of the cooperative fleet Kuhn to draw Fischer ashore, for taking over the tiller of the Sandbank flagship. Jonathan wanted to prove that he was capable even of the smaller haul, looking forward to his new crew. A Greek shipowner named Christonassis was put aside, who – roll-your-sleeves-up – wore a golden lip glaze. Catching customers, Benedicte Blessing angled casting the nickname sylph Sabrina. With renewed strength part-time worker Netti Schneider reeled the capture. Nice Schneider helped the children of the community Ostfildern in the sisterly Prisma building to handle the scissors in turning on the spectral light. All the more the nets were filled, which prompted Jonathan to hire two sailors. The helmsmen Alesandro Spitze and Bert Höfig became two of his most helpful followers. Subsequently the new captains navigated two caravels with the crew members Zony Radab, Erika Cartier, Ralf Schwarz, Tobi Kumwei, Jo Mindo, and Jürg Kurz. Fischer in his brotherly flagship discovered large shoals of fish in western climes, once the following tragedy occurred:
Magician Geller wanted to set a world record on the Cannstatter folk festival, flying 130 metres as cannonball through the air. Out of nowhere, the telescope and the sphinx should appear after his successful landing. The private jet was filled in Phoenix with plenty fuel for conflict, and no wonder was forced in New York to make an emergency landing. Somehow, the control stick was led as if by an invisible hand through the magic autopilot. Even here, the air rudder bending Geller and his readily vanishing in thin air copilot Copperfield found an incantation, so that the haunted jet could continue after corrective maintenance its magic flight to Germany. Above the clouds of Stuttgart the game repeated in a demonic way. Actually, the Israeli counterpart Uri Copperfield couldn't help himself in sending loud curses to heaven. The outboard camera tilt a turn to Stuttgart, the town entered on the autopilot. This Friday, the thirteenth in September, went down as Nine Thirteen in all history books. It was about nine o'clock and thirteen minutes. Jonathan was in the Gottlieb Daimler Stadium to witness a long time sold out concert of Led Zeppelin. Led Zeppelin was elected to the temporary number one of the everlasting SWR3 listener charts with the song "Stairway to Heaven". The lead singer Robert Plant just raised his voice at the place "Ooh, it makes me wonder" whereby for all visible a blazing, flying object with unbelievable speed loomed ahead in the sky. The fans turned around towards the Folk Festival, thinking to track a spectacular part of the incredible stage show.
There were still three more open air concerts in the region. On the Stuttgarter Schloßplatz under the US chief conductor George V. Schikaneder (codename: 3 x triangl3 walk3r / THREE DELTA WALKER) Mozart's magic flute was performed. The masterpiece had directly arrived at the second act, the trials in the temple of wisdom. The Viennese Jesuit priest sang the humming baddy-basso Sarastro and announced: "Oh Isis and Osiris, led them see the fruits of their probation, but if they fail they shall go down to the grave." On the open-air stage of the Killesberg high-altitude park played a black metal group called mega Egyptian death in front of a coked up heavy metal community an interpretation of an AC/DC piece. The message: "I'm on the high way to hell, no stop signs, speed limit," hammered repeatedly into deaf ears. Reaching the peak, a screechy crowd of thirteen Wiccans celebrated the witches' sabbath. Wrapped in the mysterious light of the full moon, the rubble mountain of Stuttgart offered the scene for a bonfire ride of the valkyries. This performance was more reminiscent of Hansel and Gretel, because the audience consisted of two like-named black cats. The moaning courting couple got on heat, anticipated the danger, bit its way to freedom, and escaped.
The pandemonium took its course wider. Bleeding hell! An unskilled aide of the New York airport had replaced the navigation system with a mistaken cruise missile to the point that all blasphemies and dams of the two crash pilots were doomed to fall. Just for the fun of it, Geller had beforehand entered the target number Birkenkopf 13, to impress his friend Copperfield with the overflight of the Bastet-Re-tribute site, which was illuminated from all sides from four huge spotlights. As a result, an impressive show with unprecedented speed could be photographed by many mobile phones. Jonathan switched his digicam on movie mode, since he thought this sky recording would be well placed on his http://www.JonathanFischer.de website. In effect and on the long run it went to be the most viewed clip on the Internet. The excessive noise of the inflamed, reverse thrust mode aircraft engines got louder all along, as far as the time bomb struck the enlightened goal of the Ramses Pyramid. The murderous explosion with a massive distraction of debris parts from the house was still better to see at the Castle Square. The present children applauded for they thought it would be already the advertised Mozart ball fireworks. Nevertheless, the flying object was pulverized and the ashes of the pilots were found in the car dump dungeon of the cellar. The two souls could console each other in eternity to have saved up the money for the taxi ride from Stuttgart Airport. The recording of the black box quickly reached number one of the occult Goth charts. The dark-clad pale-faces heard the last minutes not only happily in their homes on cassette, but even laid out the drawn tapes on the roads.
To let the cat of the bag, a German fairy tale is set …
Hänsel and Gretel ran through the wood,
petting peri followed coursing on foot.
On the Bastet pyramid the cats had fled,
for hags tried to tore the fur from head.
Swiftly the household pets run up the stairs,
the desperate housewives pursued in pairs.
The moggies brought the game to the boil,
while the human haunters lost their soil.
On top, the cat door brought them in security,
to top their tormentors in the glowing furnace of eternity.
For heavens sake, the troubled witches on Walpurgis Night burned on stake,
since seven or nine lives having pussycats are always landing softly on four legs.
Jonathan was favoured by fortune through the grave misfortune, for the star notary Baumann appointed him as property manager of the David Geller Foundation. Grand vizier Fischer reflected upon the future of the Egyptian chamber tomb. So he tendered an international architect's competition. The craft sang from the same hymn sheet in the dry bones conception of a monument respectively memorial, instead of brick-laying a new building. They found a suitable transfer object with the goddess Concordia jubilee column on the Castle Square. Only the Green Group of the Stuttgart City Council prohibited the common harmony. On this occasion, the idea that saved the project came from the smiling, newly voted 33 day Pope. Being himself a small, humble man who washed each time the feet of his audience visitors, he auctioned on eBay to the highest bidder his smothered with kisses signet ring for the support of AIDS orphans in Kenya. Then the size of the obelisk in St. Peter's square started to scare the Pontifex Maximus, who branched off from sun gods in turning away the phallus. At least, he could bestow his homeland a favour in transferring the stumbling block from the seven hill, bridge building town Rome up to the Monte Scherbelino. To the primary place came a simple wooden cross that was carried through all countries from the hobby archaeologists Ron Wheeler, who had discovered the Ark of the Covenant. Only Saudi Arabia wanted to refuse access to Ronald, the Grail Knights Templar, since he came across the Red Sea. Finding Solomon's two pillars for the memorial of the passage through the sea of reeds, he was detected and imprisoned. The push over of the twelve remaining celestial trophies in Rome, invoked by the anger of the people, gave sleepless nights. On the other side, sudden irrational acts are difficult to understand and hard to explain. Not so with a Geneva officer of the Swiss Guard who peacefully deceased in his bathtub with whatever help. The inaugurated bank secretary began to walk in one's sleep, happily hopping from her office window. Her bank director played hide and seek in London, carrying clinkers in a park, until he breathed his last fresh air on a pillow which was a braided rope. Even the mammon hating pope gave up the ghost, being released in his digitized bathroom from his cramps. Only the chief baker had temporarily a nightmare in which a two-headed eagle ate a four-stepped Egyptian ziggurat birthday cake from his head, then severed his throat, and finally pulled out his tongue and heart.
Money doesn't buy happiness, reflected Jonathan, by the time he had reallocated the 13 billion pounds trust assets from equity and real estate funds in DM day-to-day money, ascribed to his own branch. A following major crisis in the financial markets confirmed once again his good intuition. Gebhart Scharkfisch was not amused that Jonathan's new branch exceeded his Sandbank headquarter 39 times. He was fit to be tied and therefore forged out a plan of revenge. The Bank Contact Business Partner Credit Evaluation (German abbreviation BGG) was introduced. Every conversation had to be troublesomely filed at the PC. Even for the centenery of Grandma's girlfriend they should conjure a jubilee book. The overcharged, rowing slaves on their galleys found no prescription against this drumming Punch with the wild tact time requirements and were close to drown with all hands in this dashed BGG regattas.
Jonathan, who was proud of his IM title, reminded this all monitoring method of the everything noting down Stasi (State Security of the GDR). From another culture of control he heard in an article about Ron Hubbard, the former leader of the Scientology cult. With a fixed gaze he trained for hours to look into the eyes of his opposer without blinking. In a face vision Fischer had a crack at beating championship rival Tom Cruise through breathing on him the Holy Spirit to put him of his stride. By the way, that was enough to drive him up the wall. The totalitarian officer promptly lost to win at least as Top Gun the aerial battle in Iraq for President George W. Bush.
The rhyming fiction ends as follows:
Not to start with, the congregation for the doctrine of faith was alarmed from the Cardinal Prefect at the polygraph.
Aphorism they knew enough, hearing the truth made it tough.
With a loud rooftop shout, they were sending Jonathan flying out.
They forced him upset to go, since he was steeling their show.
Fischer swam in money as Simon Peter in his great catch of fish, what Scharkfisch didn't wish.
10 billion to the Stuttgarter EKK by Jonathan was remitted, and 3 billion for the Volksbank Plochingen eG fitted.
Praying man of affairs Franz-Volker Deichmann couldn't believe his fortune, until ERF and Bibel TV was in tune.
Jonathan wrote all amusing quotes, Pumuckel Einstein, Wikipedia, and Google showed.
Often chatting, often laughing, often finding the funniest anecdotes googling.
All Jonathan Fischer readers fall Fridays smirking kneeling down, listening to the next sermon from the clown. Worldwide intergalactic fun, none!?

Q: Cocos2d js onTouch doesn't recognize local variables I have this problem with an onTouchBegin function in which I want to update the position of a sprite on screen. However if I use this line of code inside of the update function is works flawlessly.
this.sprite.x += 5;

Now if I put this line of code inside the onTouchBegin or any onTouch method I receive this error "Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'x' of undefined".
When I debug this inside the chrome console the local variables to the current js file exist and are shown as being instantiated variables with all properties and attributes attached. Then when I click the screen the debugger pauses inside the onTouchBegin function. At this point all the variables seem to be outta scope because they all show up as undefined or NaN or something else.
I cannot figure why this happening if anyone can give me some insight on how to fix this that would be appreciated.

A: So apparently in the callback function when the callback is returned the event parameter has some attributes attached to it one of the being called getCurrentTarget. This returned the js file that contained all the variables that were properly being used in the update function.

    onTouchBegan:function(touch, event)
    {
        var target = event.getCurrentTarget();
    },

Jay-Z: Music's $150 Million Man

Behind the Battle for Madonna
In a $150 million deal certain to rock what remains of the record industry, Jay-Z has announced plans to depart Def Jam records and give the totality of his creative output — from songs to touring revenue to un-hatched entrepreneurial ideas — to concert promotion behemoth Live Nation. As Jay-Z told the New York Times, which broke the story on its website last night, "I've turned into the Rolling Stones of hip hop."
Jay-Z is not the first A-list recording artist to leave a traditional label for a truck full of Live Nation cash. Madonna announced a 10 year, roughly $120 million deal in 2007, while U2 revealed a 12 year touring and merchandising partnership earlier this week. Still, luring Jay-Z is a major coup for the publicly traded Live Nation. He is not only one of the world's top-selling rappers and concert draws, he's a former record company president. "If the [ex] president of Def Jam decides it's time to get off the sinking ship," says a producer who has worked for Jay-Z, "everyone else is going to start figuring out how to follow."
Live Nation is expected to furnish Jay-Z, born Shawn Carter, with $5 million in seed money annually for his own label, publishing arm and management company, with significantly more funds available for future acquisitions and expansion. He will also receive a $25 million upfront payment and $10 million per album for a minimum of three albums over the next decade.
Given the trajectory of Jay-Z's record sales — 2003's The Black Album sold 3 million copies while 2007's American Gangster barely cracked 1 million — he would have been crazy to turn down the deal. But how sane is Live Nation? Last year the company reported a $12 million loss, and even the most optimistic projections for Jay-Z's sales and entrepreneurship would make it tough for the company to recoup its investment.
But the key to the company's strategy is live performances. Despite the stagnation of record sales, the concert industry is booming. Last year revenues were up 8% to $3.9 billion, and Live Nation is in perfect position to expand its market share. Eight years ago, Live Nation, then a part of Clear Channel Communications, struck a deal with Ticketmaster that gave Ticketmaster exclusive rights to sell most of Live Nation's 30,000 nationwide events. That deal, which accounted for nearly $200 million in revenue in 2007, expires in 2008, and Live Nation's own ticketing system, already the third-largest in the United States, is prepared to ramp up. With top grossing pop (Madonna), rock (U2) and rap (Jay-Z) acts in its stable, the company certainly won't be short on inventory.
Having a single company control so much of the live music market is almost guaranteed to mean one thing: ungodly ticket prices. In 2007, the cost of two seats to see Phil Collins and a re-united Genesis warble Mama was around $400, while two of the best seats for Jay-Z's current 28-date Live Nation tour with Mary J. Blige go for $500.00. Anti-trust laws prevent Live Nation from selling more than 10% of its own tickets, but at those prices, 10% adds up fast. For consumers, the pain could be acute. But for Jay-Z, it's a wonderful morning to be in the music business.
