After actor number thirteen came out from their audition, a staff member called Ji Yi's name and gestured for her to come onto the set.
Each actor had their own acting methods. To prevent people from being influenced by other actors, only one actor at a time was allowed on set.
Whether it was the investments or the cast, Director Liang's new movie had to have the best, so aside from the production staff, influential people from the industry were also invited to judge the auditions. This included producers, co-directors, and some investors.
Four years ago, after Ji Yi became famous overnight, she quickly gained a lot of experience with acting and going onstage, so she wasn't the least bit nervous about this situation. When she saw director Liang signal for her, she stepped in front of the judging panel with unbound elegance. She held a perfect smile and stood naturally as everyone assessed her appearance.
As everyone checked her up and down, her eyes scanned the people in the studio. There were some people she met in the past, and some were completely new faces. In the end, her eyes fell on director Liang. Her expression froze slightly when she accidentally caught sight of the person sitting next to him from the corner of her eyes. She didn't take a close look, but she could tell it was him... He Jichen, who she hadn't seen for several days.
What's he doing here? What's more, why's he sitting next to director Liang...? Ji Yi's mood was inevitably affected by He Jichen's presence, but she knew just how important today's audition was, so she quickly composed herself. She pretended he wasn't even there and calmly introduced herself to everyone in the room. "Hello everyone, I'm Ji Yi."
After hearing her introduction, an expert and senior in the industry asked, "Miss Ji Yi. What role are you auditioning for today?"
Without any hesitation, two words slipped from Ji Yi's mouth, "Little Nine."
These two casually spoken words stirred commotion in the room.
In director Liang's movie, Little Nine had a total of five lines of dialogue. She wasn't even considered an insignificant female role, let alone a supporting female character. At most, she was fodder for the camera.
The main female character was already confirmed for the movie, but there were still positions available for supporting female characters two and three. Most of thecandidates that day were auditioning for the second and third female role; this was the first time an actress auditioned for such an inconspicuous character. It was perhaps the first time they'd encountered something like this in their entire history of holding auditions.
Everyone's attention was suddenly on Ji Yi.
From the beginning of auditions that day, director Liang seldom shared any thoughts, but this time, he couldn't help but ask, "Why did you choose this character?"
"Because I quite like this character." Ji Yi's answer was very conservative, but she spent a few days analyzing the characters from director Liang's movie. It wasn't that the other characters weren't good, but Little Nine's character was odd in all the right ways. She liked the main female character, she went crazy for love, and even turned corrupt for love. In the end, she made a huge sacrifice for love. Even though she rarely appeared in any scenes, she was an exquisitely intriguing character.

Home News Meter Production Plant for Nasarawa
Meter Production Plant for Nasarawa
Nasarawa State government signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Marks and Adams Investment Limited to develop a Meter Producing Plant in the state on December 2, 2021 at Lafia, making history.
The metre plant is the brainchild of Prince Mark Elayo, Turakin Keana, a prominent Keana-born industrialist. Marks & Adams Investment Limited's Chief Executive Officer (CEO) is him. Mr Ibrahim A. Abdullahi, the Managing Director of the Nasarawa Investment and Development Agency (NIDA), signed on behalf of the Nasarawa State government, while Prince Elayo signed on behalf of Marks and Adams Investment Limited.
They will each contribute $1.5 million to the initiative, which will cover the price of land, equipment, and employees. A hectare of land will be used for the factory. This is Northern Nigeria's first metre manufacturing plant, and Nigeria's third overall. The plant contains an administrative block, showroom, CKD entry, metre assembly line, metre calibration, certification & quality control, loading bay, and warehousing, according to its design.
The metre manufacturing line has a monthly production capacity of 10,000 metres. According to the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission's (NERC) metre status report from 2016, over three million registered electricity consumers' accounts remained unmetered. In 2017, the number increased to almost four million. It was five million unmetered power users in 2019. According to recent estimates based on customer enumeration data, the metering gap is about 10 million people.
Electric power customers and producers will not obtain value for their money unless the metering gap is closed or minimised, and no significant investment will be made in the industry as a result. Nigeria's massive metering gap is a major factor to the country's cash crises and poor power sector performance.
As a result, the project's outputs are very promising and can be commercialised, as the metres will be purchased by electrical distribution companies, the government, and housing estate owners. In reality, because of the approval of the African Continental Free Trade Agreement, Nigerian producers now have access to a wide pool of consumers across Africa.
The metre plant would effortlessly produce its product and grow capacity of vocational and technical know-how of the teeming youths of Nasarawa State and beyond, thanks to the presence of a power substation, cargo airport, and Lafia as a gateway to many areas of Nigeria.
Marks & Adams Investment Limited is an engineering and construction company that has been in existence since 2011, when it was registered as a limited liability company under Nigerian law.
It is registered with the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation's (NNPC) Department of Petroleum Resources and the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS). It has a team of skilled and experienced specialists with years of experience in the oil and gas business and a reputation for providing high-quality, safe service.
With its track record, it has gained the trust of major oil producing and service organisations, as well as construction and engineering firms both within and outside Nigeria's borders.
The NERC has chosen Messrs. Mark & Adams Investment Limited to carry out the Meter Rollout Plan for the Kaduna Electricity Distribution Company (KAEDC). Across November 2017, the firm agreed to supply 200,000 pre-paid metres to KAEDC's consumers in the distribution company's four states of operation: Kaduna, Kebbi, Sokoto, and Zamfara.
The project cost $45 million to complete (N14.1bn). With KAEDC, this deal comprises a 10-year metering project. Metering was first implemented in Nigeria in 2005 to address customer complaints about overbilling and other associated issues. Since the installation of the prepayment metering system, customers have been generally pleased. There are, however, some reservations. Nigerians encounter significant difficulties in obtaining and using the prepaid metering system.
The administration has often promised to address the issues, yet they remain, staring power consumers in the face. The lack of vending infrastructure, the contractor's non-tripping, the cost of procuring the metre, and delays in receiving and installing the prepaid metres are only a few of the issues.
With the completion of the plan to build a metre plant in Nasarawa State, these will be a thing of the past. This project's significance cannot be overstated.
It is expected to strengthen Nasarawa State's industrial foundation, create a large number of jobs, and raise the overall level of living. It would expand Nigeria's electric power value chain while lowering foreign exchange costs.
As the Naira's value against the dollar continues to fall, it's time to take on the importation of the electricity metre head on. Engr. Abdullahi A. Sule, the Executive Governor of Nasarawa State, has demonstrated tremendous kindness in this regard. This is something to be proud of. It is now up to the investor to immediately capitalise on the governor's refreshing candour in order to complete this project on time.
Here's a governor with a calm demeanour, vision, foresight, innovation, and candour. He has put an end to criminality and brought peace to his people. As a result, it is past time for the Home of Solid Minerals to undergo a transformation. Investors should prepare to be a part of the Sule-led administration's success storey.
Marks & Adams Investment Limited, as a completely indigenous company, understands the aspirations of the people of Nasarawa State and should not rest on its laurels in doing what it can to help them. The organisation has the resources and capabilities to produce high-quality metres, design a computerised Prepaid Metering System that is acceptable, and give ongoing training to power workers.
Apart from assisting the people of Nasarawa State, and indeed the entire northern region of Nigeria, in resolving the issue of prepaid metering, this project will also boost the economy, as envisaged by President Muhammadu Buhari's administration, and give Nigeria a new lease on life.
Electricity, as we all know, has remained the driving force behind all development efforts involving industrial, commercial, and domestic systems. The only way to drive the economy in Nigeria is to cost and distribute electricity to Nigerians.
The metering plant will undoubtedly raise Nigeria's metering rate, eliminate arbitrary estimated billing, and aid Nigeria's economic recovery by minimising collection losses and improving money flows in order for Distribution Companies to meet their 100% market remittance commitments (DisCos). It will also boost network monitoring and data availability for market administration and investment decision-making.
Since taking office, Governor Abdullahi A. Sule has worked tirelessly to make Nasarawa State a model state in Nigeria and to improve the lives of his people. When completed, this endeavour will go down in history as a watershed moment in his presidency.

Here we explore the types of mulching mowers which are available to help you choose one that's right for you.
Electric mowers are much quieter than petrol models, and there are no exhaust fumes. For small gardens, a mains electric mower may be the perfect grass recycling machine.
In general, electric mowers are not as powerful as petrol mowers, so they usually have slightly shorter blades and will have to be pushed a little slower in overgrown, wet grass - but they're easy to start, easy on your ears, and good for air quality too!
As with petrol engine mowers the quality of construction varies with price. Higher priced models generally last longer and are more reliable making them more cost effective over time.
You can now buy petrol engine pedestrian lawnmowers that offer Mulching cutting systems.
Specifically designed mulching mowers will recycle grass much better than conventional collecting mowers that are later converted to mulching.
Power driven mulching models are usually more expensive than hand propelled machines and are designed for cutting slopes or larger gardens.
Whichever petrol mower you choose, try to run the petrol tank dry when you stop mowing in the autumn to avoid the residue left in the tank going stale.
Quality of construction varies with price - choosing a higher priced model usually means it will last longer and be more reliable, working out more cost effective in the long run.
For larger areas ride-on mulching mowers make life much easier, you can cut your grass without having to stop and empty the collector saving time and allowing you to concentrate on the job.
On lawns of this size disposal of grass clippings can be a real problem, you may well have piles of rotting grass all over the place. Mulching mowers solve this problem by recycling clippings back into the soil.
The time saved compared to conventional collecting systems and improvement in lawn quality make mulching ride-on mowers an ideal choice for large gardens.

Inverurie railway station is a railway station serving the town of Inverurie, Aberdeenshire, Scotland. It is managed by ScotRail and is on the Aberdeen to Inverness Line, which is mostly single track north of this point, between Kintore and Insch. It is measured  from Aberdeen.

History
The first station, then called Inverury Station, was opened on 20 September 1854 on the Great North of Scotland Railway main line which ran between Aberdeen Waterloo and Keith stations. It was situated  south of the present station. In 1856 it became the junction station for the new Inverury and Old Meldrum Junction Railway branch line to Oldmeldrum. Renamed Inverurie Station in 1866, it was replaced in 1902 with a new building with three platforms at the present location close to the Inverurie Locomotive Works which was then being built. The station ceased to be a junction station in 1931 when the branch line was closed to passengers although freight traffic continued until 1966.

The station, Category B listed, is single storied and has a cupola with windvane.

Inverury and Old Meldrum Junction Railway

The branch line to Oldmeldrum was opened by the Inverury and Old Meldrum Junction Railway company in 1856 and ran via  to  station (as it was then called).  was opened in 1866 and the company was absorbed into the Great North of Scotland Railway also in that year. A proposed extension to the Banff, Macduff and Turriff Junction Railway was considered but this was never built. The line was closed for passengers in 1931 and for freight in 1966.

Facilities

Both platforms are equipped with shelters, help points and benches. Platform 1 also has a staffed ticket office, a ticket machine, separate waiting room and bike racks, which is also adjacent to the car park. There is a step-free access path at the end of the platforms, although there is also a footbridge in the centre of the station.

Passenger Volume

The statistics cover twelve month periods that start in April.

Services
As of May 2022, the stations sees approximately 1 train every 2 hours between  and , calling at all stations, as well as an hourly shuttle to Montrose. One per day continues to  and one to . There are additional shuttle services between here and Aberdeen to fill gaps in the service, giving 2 - 3 trains per hour between here and Aberdeen.

2018 improvements
Service frequencies improved here from 2018 as part of the timetable recast funded by Transport Scotland.  A new "Aberdeen Crossrail" commuter service was introduced from here to , which calls at all intermediate stations en route once per hour.  There are now at least two departures each hour to Aberdeen, with the existing through services to Inverness, Edinburgh & Glasgow maintained or increased in number. A £170 million project to upgrade the Aberdeen to Inverness route saw the line from Aberdeen redoubled in between June and August 2019.

This new attack, though, is almost Clintonian in its careful avoidance of the truth, as is the birth of birtherism itself.
The main attack started in a Parade interview featuring Texas Governor Rick Perry, but is being taken up as the cause célèbre by the left-wing, George Soros-funded attack dogs at Media Matters, Think Progress, and TPM as well as sites like Mediaite. But this "story is, as they say, all smoke and no fire.
Let me make this clear for the Old Media: Perry sees no issue with where Obama was born and takes the president's word for his citizenship.
But even as Perry pretty clearly answered the question, the left-wingers are desperate to manufacture a faux controversy out of the interview.
Perry mentioned that he met Trump, noted that Trump still thinks that the birth certificate that the Obama campaign made public is a fake, and also noted that he'd like to get Trump's endorsement for his presidential run. In no way did Perry say he thinks the birth certificate is a fake nor did he endorse Trump's position — he merely reported what Trump told him.
There isn't much to hang your hat on for a left-winger hoping to "get" Perry, nor for a birther hoping he'll support their pet conspiracy theory. But it serves to form the only justification for their attack on Perry anyway.
The facts of this story are that Perry said he had no reason to doubt Obama's birthplace and that it was a meaningless, "distractive issue," regardless. Hard to make a controversy out of that!
But, oh are they trying.

CARLISLE, PA – Freshman Ogemdi Chukwu continued to storm the Goucher College men's indoor track & field record book, setting a new standard in the 55-meter hurdles with a time of 8.20.
Chukwu's performance occurred in the preliminary heat and earned him a first place finish. However, he finished eighth in the finals.
Sophomore Miles Taylor followed suit and ran a time of 8.36 in the 55-meter hurdles final, placing third in the heat. The mark ranks second all-time at Goucher College.
In addition to his record-breaking performance, Chukwu turned in an eighth place finish in the long jump with a 5.97-meter jump.
Freshman Xavier Coggeshall placed ninth in the 400-meter dash with a time of 54.93.
The relay team of Chukwu, Coggeshall, Taylor and freshman Gunther Wallach came in sixth in the 4x200, turning in a time of 1:42.76.
"We were looking for some major breakthroughs after being back in action for three to four weeks since break."
"We had some outstanding performances out of a very young team with some people competing for the first time this season. This sets us up nicely heading into Susquehanna next weekend, and we are looking forward to heading into the Landmark Conference Championships."
Next weekend the Gophers travel to Susquehanna before returning to the same venue to take on the Landmark Conference Championships on February 25th.

Embedded journalists to cover military operations
Learning from the U.S.-led coalition in the Iraq war, the Indonesian Military (TNI) has called on 60 local journalists who will be "embedded" with its troops during their operation in restive Aceh.
For the purpose, the journalists, who come from various print and electronic media, will undergo four days of training provided by the TNI at the Sangga Buana training camp belonging to the Army's Strategic Reserve Command in the West Java town of Karawang.
During the training, which takes place from Sunday through Wednesday, thereporters will learn basic military capabilities on the battle field, including the art of survival, technical basics of sea-landings and air drops and how to be alert for bombs and bullets.
The training is mandatory, according to TNI spokesman Maj. Gen. Sjafrie Sjamsoeddin, for journalists who want to cover the day-to-day operations from the front line. Each journalist will receive a "licence" at the end of the training.
The exercise is closed to journalists of any nationality from the foreign media.
"I don't know whether there are any political considerations from the Foreign Ministry (to exclude journalists working for foreign media), but forme it is clear that we (the TNI) do not want any disturbance during theoperation," Sjafrie told a press briefing on Friday, referring to foreign journalists who could cause problems.
Like soldiers, the journalists will also wear bullet-proof vests and helmets when they cover a raid on Free Aceh Movement (GAM) camps. Sjafrie said the presence of the media would ensure that soldiers would not violate human rights.
To provide the flow of information on the ongoing operations, TNI has set upmedia centers at its headquarters in Cilangkap, East Jakarta and the operation's central command in Lhokseumawe, some 230 kilometers east of the Aceh capital of Banda Aceh.
The media center in Aceh will be equipped with satellite communications to help the journalists send stories or broadcast news across the country.
Sjafrie said that the training would be necessary for journalists to know the dos and don'ts during operations.
"Of course the journalists won't get enough sleep or may eat a little bitlate, but those are the conditions that must be accepted," Sjafrie said.
Media observers and practitioners have warned that the objectivity and independence of media coverage in Aceh could be threatened should journalists be embedded with the troops.


It is recorded that your first world trial ever was in Sweden in 1971 and you got 4th place so you were 19 then?
Maybe this was in Karabiner, but I don't remember exactly, but I think what you say is right yes. I remember this time and it gives me great encouragement to go on and on tomorrow, trials and ride. Well I remember it not too much but a little.
What was the type of going that you'd like to ride on, some people like to ride on the rock, some people like to ride in the mud, what did you like?
The best, my specialty, was slippery and muddy, because I have a very good feeling from the brain through to the gas throttle.
We never use the clutch on the gas and with this you have to have very good traction for the rear wheel and I used to be good at this and have a good feeling and I found the grip when many people did not. I'm better than many others so slippery and muddy, I was quite good. I was also very good on the rocks.
Back in 1971, you used to seem to have started off quite slow rising, only a few International Events?
Yes, I remember this happening and this was because there was not so much money and we go out of the country for maybe 2 or 3 trials go to Belgium, Spain was popular and one other not England though.
This photo shows the snuff in my mouth, I make snuff. I put it under the lip. You will see the round tins in the supermarket. It is a kind of tobacco.
Its nicotin. It's a drug.
Anyone for some snuff ?. Its still popular in Sweden . This display was by the till in the local supermarket. Put it under your lip and go.

Q: After installing rpy2 the library for R is pointing to miniconda I was trying to use rpy2 to interoperate R and python in jupyter. It was just a curiosity experiment.  It is not working due to package imports.
But what is not an experiment is to be able to install packages in R . I can no longer do so after installing rpy2.  The following is happening in R:

Porsche claimed its 99th and 100th class wins at Le Mans. Porsche works drivers Romain Dumas, Marc Lieb and Richard Lietz took the GTE-Pro title (LEFT), while Raymond Narac, Jean-Karl Vernay and Christophe Bourret won GTE-Am.
AUDI'S RULING CLASS
Despite efforts to reduce its advantage at Le Mans, the R18 e-tron reigned supreme
The rain that drizzled down at regular intervals – along with no fewer than 11 safety car periods – during the 90th anniversary 24 Hours of Le Mans helped lend a downcast atmosphere to the event. Obviously, the death of GT racer Allan Simonsen in the opening laps (see appreciation, opposite) cast a pall, but the domination of Audi's R18 e-tron quattros from the start of practice created an air more of demonstration than competition.
Jeff Bloxham/LAT
Toyota took the fight to Audi's diesels as
best it could with a pair of gasoline-fueled
TS030 Hybrids, but it failed to challenge on
pace, and it was reliability that allowed it to
keep the pressure on after two of the three
R18 e-trons suffered delays. However, the
remaining Audi, driven by Tom Kristensen,
Loic Duval and Allan McNish, ran faultlessly
and ultimately prevailed – delivering
Kristensen a ninth win in the French enduro.

Natalie Portman's 'Thor: Love and Thunder' Costume Revealed
A new piece of Thor: Love and Thunder merchandise reveals Jane Foster's new costume for the upcoming MCU installment. The shirt, which was given to crew members of the Taika Waititi-directed film, depicts Natalie Portman's character standing alongside Thor (Chris Hemsworth) and Valkyrie (Tessa Thompson) in her Mighty Thor garb. If you look closely, you can even see Jane wielding the magical hammer Mjolnir.
Check out the graphic, which appears on the front of the shirt above a vintage-looking font (via Thor: Love and Thunder News):
Oftentimes, sneak peeks at franchise characters come from merchandise or toys that get released a little before the movie hits theaters. In this case, the T-shirt image comes from someone on the inside of production. The picture was deleted soon after it was posted, but it had already been saved by fans.
The shirt's design hints that Marvel will be remaining faithful to the comics when it comes to Jane Foster's appearance. It's still not entirely clear how Jane will become Thor in the upcoming superhero flick, as Waititi may deviate from the Mighty Thor comic books in favor of a new interpretation. But we do know that Jane inherits Mjolnir and becomes a female incarnation of the Avenger, which is an exciting development for Phase Four of the MCU.
Thor: Love and Thunder has wrapped filming and is currently in post-production, with a projected release date of May 6, 2022. Long before then, we can expect to see a trailer for the highly anticipated picture. Whether or not Jane's Mighty Thor look will be revealed in that preview remains to be seen.

In Whose Best Interest?
Coaches would gain more from a college basketball boycott than players would
When temple basketball coach John Chaney met the press last Saturday moments after his 13th-ranked Owls had won a game that two days earlier looked as if it would not be played, he did so in a gymnasium heated by a rented boiler. The University of Rhode Island would love to buy a new boiler but can't afford one. As Chaney spoke, on Martin Luther King's birthday, every issue and emotion that coursed through college sports last week seemed to condense in chilly Keaney Gym: anger, power, opportunity, entitlement, racism and money, money, money.
The Black Coaches Association (BCA), of which Chaney is a member, had called for coaches and players to boycott last weekend's basketball games. The BCA is protesting the recent NCAA vote against restoring one of the two men's basketball scholarships eliminated in 1991, a cost-cutting measure that reduced each school's limit from 15 to 13 free rides. The 14th scholarship was only one item on a BCA agenda that also called for adding minorities to the NCAA's staff and reconsidering the academic restrictions of Propositions 42 and 48. On Friday the BCA agreed to delay any action, pending attempts by the Congressional Black Caucus to resolve differences between the coaches and the NCAA. But Drake coach Rudy Washington, the BCA's executive director, said, "The word delay is extremely important." That means those SUPPORT BLACK SATURDAY bumper stickers that have been printed may yet be used.
In the meantime, the protesting coaches have a p.r. problem. They'll never escape suspicion of self-interest, no matter how sincere their motives may be. "We need more youngsters in college and not out on the streets," says George Washington coach Mike Jarvis. But which streets is he talking about? Those in Gambia and Nigeria, where two of his 13 players on scholarship come from? "It's not all about 14 scholarships," Chaney emphasized, perhaps because he suits up only 11 scholarship players. USC coach George Raveling likes to describe his profession as "the last citadel of discipline in our society"; then he demonstrates that discipline by spending a small fortune to send 900 letters to a single high school prospect. Dare to suggest that academic nonqualifies might benefit from playing at an NCAA Division II or III school and Georgetown coach John Thompson says, "Once you've eaten steak, you don't want hot dog." As moral calls-to-arms go, "Steak, not hot dog!" doesn't exactly stir the soul.
The coaches can't win. If they cry about the 14th scholarship, they look as if they just want another studhorse for the stable. If they protest the exclusionary nature of standardized tests—even if those tests are still culturally biased—they go up against statistics that show an increase in SAT scores, graduation rates and percentage of scholarships for blacks playing Division I basketball since the tougher standards were introduced. And they go up against the ghost of Arthur Ashe, who insisted that blacks would rise to clear a raised bar.
In fact, the coaches' quarrel isn't primarily with the NCAA hierarchy. It's with the college presidents who have finally decided that they want a say in the operation of athletic departments. The presidents believe that the money needed to fund a single men's basketball scholarship could be better spent educating three inner-city commuter students who happen not to be athletes. They've concluded that it's best to comply with federal law mandating equal opportunities for women. And they've decided that labs and libraries need support too, so Disadvantaged Youths numbers one through 13 will find the means with which to become advantaged once they arrive on campus. Tough decisions all. But it's best if the person making them is someone charged with balancing all the interests of a university.
This isn't to say the presidents should make these decisions in a vacuum. Or that the BCA should slacken its efforts to keep the NCAA from setting new "sliding-scale" academic standards that at some schools could be higher for athletes than for the student body as a whole.
But the players are the group with the most legitimate grievances in college basketball today. A coach can leave for a better offer anytime, but that player he sweet-talked into signing has to sit out a year after transferring. A student-athlete can be brought up before an NCAA committee on eligibility or infractions, but there aren't any student-athletes on the committee itself. Coaches make as much as several hundred thousand dollars a year from shoe deals by using players' feet as billboards, but the players see none of that money.
Perhaps it occurred to some players last week that with a little nerve and forethought, they might bring that billion-dollar spectacle, the Final Four, to a halt. We have a better idea. Players, go to your coaches. Tell them you'll walk out on them unless they use some of that sneaker money to fund a 14th scholarship. It has been quite the rage of late to presume what Dr. King might say about one issue or another were he alive today, but it's hard to imagine his not liking that idea.

Sangria is one of those cocktails that's best known for its most mediocre varieties. A Spanish, wine-based punch, it's a popular summertime drink at all sorts of bars and restaurants. The standard ingredients include wine, brandy, triple sec or other liqueur, fruit juice, sliced fruit and often sparkling water or other carbonated beverages. Unfortunately it's usually made with cheap wine, sickeningly sweet fruit juices and little else, leaving us with a recipe for a bad hangover.
It's true for all cocktails, but especially true with sangria: the quality of the ingredients you put in will determine the quality of cocktail you drink. Don't go for the cheapest wine unless you prefer to drink really cheap wine. Don't use canned, sugar-added fruit juices—use fresh juice if you can. The added cost of quality is unquestionably worth it, as quality elevates pedestrian cocktails to stratospheric levels.
My favorite sangria recipe is actually for a white sangria. The switch to white sangria is usually a big change for my guests and gets them off on the right foot (that is, not thinking of the cheap sangrias they've had in the past). It uses cachaça, a Brazilian sugar cane spirit similar to rum, and pisco, a South American grape-based brandy. It also has St. Germain Elderflower Liqueur, a delightfully sweet and floral spirit that's popular in many craft cocktail bars.
Add ingredients to an ice filled pitcher and stir. Garnish with sliced kiwi, grapes, apple, cucumber, lime wheels, and fresh sage leaves.
White cranberry juice can sometimes be hard to find. If you can't find straight white cranberry juice, you can substitute a blended white cranberry and peach juice or swap in white grape juice.

The dance scene in Los Angeles is currently abuzz with emerging talent, and Melissa Barak is leading the way. One of the L.A. Times's 'Faces to Watch in 2013', Barak has come to prominence with the inauguration of her own troupe, The Barak Ballet. In a city full of start-ups, she has managed to carve out her own space with the help of strong local ties and a commitment to new works.
The company's next performance takes place tomorrow (24 October) and will be a mixed-bill called L.A. Moves, with works by Barak and Pascal Rioult. Barak will also perform a solo herself, created by Danielle Agami of Ate9 Dance Company, another female choreographer making a name for herself in town.

The Peerless Prognosticator is ON THE AIR!!! -- Game 11: Capitals at Penguins, February 7th
First versus 15th. The Good versus The Bad and the Ugly. The saints against the sinners.
Four days ago the Pittsburgh Penguins methodically dismantled the Washington Capitals, 6-3, in front of a national television audience. The Capitals played the Penguins even over the first 26 minutes and change, but starting with a two-goal burst 37 seconds apart in the second period, the Pens outscored the Caps 4-1 over the last 34 minutes. Chris Kunitz had the first four-goal game against the Caps in more than 16 years. Ex-Capital Tomas Vokoun notched the win. Sidney Crosby had a three-point game; Evgeni Malkin had a pair of assists. If you were a Penguin fan, it was good times. If you were a Caps fan, not so much.
And that was on Washington ice.
Now the teams meet in a rematch in Pittsburgh. The first thought that comes to mind is a question… "does the Consol Energy Center scoreboard have the means to display double digits?"
We covered a lot of this matchup in the prognosto from last Sunday. Not much has happened since then, other than the teams continuing on their respective paths of momentum. Pittsburgh beat the New York Islanders, 4-2; and the Caps lost to Toronto, 3-2. What it means is that the Penguins will take Consol Energy Center ice for only the fourth time this season riding a four-game winning streak in which they outscored their opponents by an 18-6 margin. Meanwhile, the Caps will head on the road for the first time in February having lost two in a row, four of five, and eight of their first ten games.
1. The Caps have suffered from scoring depth problems at forward. Not so with the Penguins. Chris Kunitz, James Neal, Sidney Crosby, Pascal Dupuis, and Evgeni Malkin – top six forwards all – have almost as many goals (21) as do the Caps as a team (23).
2. Chris Kunitz has four goals on four shots against the Caps, two goals on 12 shots against everyone else.
3. Sidney Crosby is on a five-game points streak (1-8-9) and has points in eight of the ten games the Penguins have played to date.
4. Kris Letang is working on a four-game points streak of his own (2-3-5) and has points in seven of the ten games he has played.
5. Pittsburgh has been a front-runner this season. They scored the first goal in nine of ten games played so far and have taken a lead to the locker room after 20 minutes a total of eight times.
1. There is a big hole in Caps scoring at the moment, and only part of it is due to Alex Ovechkin's drought. By the time each of Marcus Johansson, Jason Chimera, Mathieu Perreault, and Brooks Laich had played 10 games last season, they had a combined 13 goals. So far this season: 1. And Laich has not yet dressed for a game.
2. The Caps are averaging almost a full goal per game less at even strength (1.40) than the Penguins (2.20). That alone accounts for the difference in scoring offense between the teams.
3. Conversely, the Caps are averaging almost a full goal per game more allowed at even strength (2.30) than are the Penguins (1.50).
4. The Caps are doing reasonably well on the power play (they rank 14th at 20.0 percent), but it is not making much of a difference. Why? Well, one reason might be that they are fourth in the league in power plays in the third period. They come too late to make a difference?
5. The 2-7-1 start is the Caps worst ten-game start to a season since posting a 2-7-1 mark (the "1" back then meaning a tie) in 2003-2004. It is the first time they have lost eight of their first ten games since going 1-9-0 to start the 1981-1982 season.
Pittsburgh: Evgeni Malkin.
The most important number the Caps might need to be concerned about with the Penguins is this: 7.4. Through ten games, Evgeni Malkin has two goals on 27 shots, a 7.4 percent shooting percentage. He is 8-23-31 in 21 career games against the Caps, 12 of those points coming on power plays.
Washington: Alex Ovechkin
He is the straw that has not yet stirred the drink on offense, but there is another troubling number creeping into his stat line. He is close to setting a career penalty minutes pace. He is tied for the team lead in minor penalties (five) and is on a pace for 82 minutes per 82 games. His career high in PIMs is 89 in 72 games in 2009-2010. If the Caps need to play more disciplined, Ovechkin needs to be a part of that.
1. Don't let one become two. Pittsburgh is going to score. But the Caps cannot let them add to their total in quick fashion. The 37 seconds between goals in the game on Sunday (not to mention the iffy nature of them from a goaltending standpoint) sucked all the air out of the Caps' bench.
2. Move the puck. Pittsburgh's game is predicated on not spending time in their own end. The get the puck, and they move it smartly. The Caps have to throw that idea right back in their face. The Penguins play their game with a forward lean; the Caps need to make them play on their heels.
3. Put the "strength" in full strength. The Caps have been an abominable team at full and even strength. Only Edmonton, Florida, and Columbus are worse at 5-on-5. If the Caps play to their trend in this statistic, this game is going to be over before the first intermission.
In the end, on paper this game is not close. The Penguins are good, and they are hot. The Capitals are neither.
Games are not played on paper.

Nothing can be more exciting and yet vexing as having a roommate. Some people come from large families and some are only children. Some people are messy, filthy, or moderately organized. Some are night owls while others enjoy welcoming the day as early as possible.
The first thing to understand is that although college will change a person, for the most part you must accept your roommate for who they are. So there is a delicate balance between personalities and preferences to live harmoniously.
First find the best way to communicate respectfully. People are much more receptive to what you have to say when you approach instead of reproach them. I had a roommate who would leave critical comments on our whiteboard about the way I made my bed or vacuumed, and everyone who walked by could see them. Then I had another one who would start off by asking me something unrelated to what she wanted to talk about, such as "hey, how was that paper you were working on?" After letting me talk a bit she'd then say something encouraging about my work ethic and then go into "I wanted to talk to you about something." There's definitely many ways to communicate, and what works for the two of you will be determined by your personalities and bond, but having a rapport with your roommate and letting them know your goal is to live harmoniously with them rather than change or one-up them will make communicating easier.
Establish ground rules on the first day. What is your policy regarding significant others or sexual partners? What is your policy regarding shared items? What about food or dishes?
One thing people don't often ask and should is how to manage responsibilities when one is overwhelmed with projects or commitments and cannot keep their end of the deal. There are myriad reasons for this- a performing arts major in tech week for a show, a biology student preparing for a research presentation, or a student athlete who has the play-offs. It's best to be understanding and flip-flop the responsibilities until they return. Offer to help in any way you can while they're busy. It can be something as simple as making dinner, offering to toss their laundry in the dryer, or maybe even picking them up so they don't have to walk home.
Kindness and respect go a long way.

*the same lap time at 2 different tracks should both be displayed, not appear just once

*I want to use a WHERE user_id IN (..) for part 1

*ordered by a given field, ie lap_time

*where lap_status = 1

This is the query I've been using elsewhere to collect the two latest records of a given type, which is the closest to what I think I need, modified to this example .. although unfinished, as in the other instance, it was only collecting the 2 most recent rows for each user_id .. here I need it to take track_id into account as well
 SELECT
 *
 FROM (
     SELECT
     t.id,
     t.track_id,
     t.user_id,
     t.lap_time,
     t.lap_status,
     @row:=case WHEN @prev=user_id THEN @row ELSE 0 END +1 rn,
     @prev:=user_id
     FROM `lap_data` t
     CROSS JOIN (SELECT @row:=0, @prev:=null) c
     WHERE t.user_id IN (1,2)
     ORDER BY user_id, id DESC
 ) src
 WHERE rn <= 2
 ORDER BY lap_time DESC

Query 1 Desired result:  ( WHERE user_id IN (1,2) )

|  id  |  track_id  |  user_id  |  lap_time  |  lap_status  |
--------------------------------------------------------------
|   9  |         1  |        1  |  04:16:12  |           1  |
|   1  |         1  |        1  |  04:18:23  |           1  |
|   3  |         2  |        1  |  01:05:30  |           1  |
|  12  |         2  |        1  |  01:08:13  |           1  |
|  16  |         4  |        1  |  01:36:23  |           1  |
|   6  |         4  |        1  |  01:36:59  |           1  |
|   4  |         1  |        2  |  04:17:02  |           1  |
|  10  |         1  |        2  |  04:18:12  |           1  |
|   2  |         2  |        2  |  01:09:54  |           1  |
|   5  |         3  |        2  |  01:13:10  |           1  |
|  14  |         3  |        2  |  01:14:10  |           1  |

Query 2:

*

*I want to get the inverse of the above, for a single user

*

*ie the remainder of the results excluding the first two, for just a specific user_id

Query 2 Desired result:  ( WHERE user_id = '1' )

|  id  |  track_id  |  user_id  |  lap_time  |  lap_status  |
--------------------------------------------------------------
|  13  |         2  |        1  |  01:09:44  |           1  |
|  17  |         2  |        1  |  01:11:34  |           1  |

Any suggestions? thanks!

A: MYSQL Version for my previous answer:
SELECT
lt.id,
lt.user_id,
lt.track_id,
lt.lap_status,
lt.lap_time
FROM (
SELECT id,
    user_id,
    track_id,
    lap_status,
    lap_time,
    CASE WHEN track_id = @prevTrackId AND user_id = @prevUserId THEN @curRank := @curRank + 1 ELSE @curRank := 1 END Rank,
    @prevTrackId := track_id,
    @prevUserId := user_id
FROM lap_data, (SELECT @curRank := 0, @prevTrackId := 1, @prevUserId := 1) r
ORDER BY user_id,track_id,lap_time ASC
) lt
WHERE Rank <= 2

A: This query makes one important (and quite likely erroneous) assumption - which is that the highest track_id of the previous user is higher than (or at least different from) the lowest track_id of the following user.
If that's not the case, then you may need to store another variable, or base 'prev' on the concatenation of two values...
 SELECT x.id
      , x.track_id
      , x.user_id
      , x.lap_time
      , x.lap_status
   FROM
      ( SELECT l.*
             , CASE WHEN @prev = track_id THEN @i:=@i+1 ELSE @i:=1 END rank
             , @prev:=track_id prev
          FROM lap_data l
             , (SELECT @prev:=null,@i:=0) vars
         WHERE user_id IN(1,2)
         ORDER
            BY user_id
             , track_id
             , lap_time
      ) x
  WHERE x.rank <=2
  ORDER
     BY user_id
      , track_id
      , lap_time;

A: select id,track_id,user_id,lap_status,lap_time from (
select @rank:=if(@prev_cat=user_id,@rank+1,1) as rank,id,user_id,track_id,lap_status,lap_time,@prev_cat:=user_id
from lap_data,(select @rank:=0, @prev_cat:="")t
where user_id IN(1,2) order by track_id, user_id desc
  ) temp
  where temp.rank<=2

A: Query 1:
SELECT lt.id,lt.user_id,lt.track_id,lt.lap_status,lt.lap_time
FROM (
    SELECT id,user_id,track_id,lap_status,lap_time,Rank()
    over (Partition BY user_id,track_id
    ORDER BY lap_time ASC ) AS Rank
    FROM lap_data
    WHERE user_id IN (1,2)
) lt WHERE Rank <= 2

Query 2:
Simply just select all records which NOT IN Query 1. (assuming id is the primary key of your table, which you did not even set a primary key for lap_data table)
SELECT * FROM lap_data
    WHERE id NOT IN
    (SELECT lt.id
    FROM (
        SELECT id,Rank()
        over (Partition BY user_id,track_id
        ORDER BY lap_time ASC ) AS Rank
        FROM lap_data
        WHERE user_id = 1
    ) lt WHERE Rank <= 2)


Langerhans cell Histiocytosis (LCH) is a rare disease for which treatment with 2- chlorodeoxyadenosine (cladribine) has changed disease outcome. Cladribine has meanwhile been administered over two decades and is available for intravenous and subcutaneous administration. Cladribine has been administered in treatment of therapy naïve, relapsed and refractory LCH and induces high response rates, regardless of prior treatment. Literature describing the use of cladribine either alone or in combination with cytarabine is summarized herein.

Although the Arab Spring Revolutions started out as a chance for a better future in a region dominated by populous poverty and all-powerful self-serving governments, the refusal of leaders to sacrifice their power and privilege has resulted in civil war, which has afforded violent extremists the opportunity to spread like wildfire. Recalling the American Revolution started as a political movement in 1765 before escalating to war in 1775 with the Declaration of Independence and lasted eight long, bloody years, the Arab Spring Revolutionaries must not lose hope.
Recognizing the Middle East faces the threat of modern weapons, while it is an entire region fighting a series of conflicts, the Muslim world must look to America's Independence Day and rally each other around their common goal. Middle Easterners, as well as all those others fighting for a better life, should follow the lead of America's Founding Fathers. Where there was plenty to divide the Colonists, it was their common interests that helped unite them. Following the example of Sunni and Shia Muslims in Kuwait, who chose to take the usual step of joining together in prayer after the recent bombing of a Shia Mosque, even the intense divisions created by something as personal as religion can be overcome.
Clearly, terrorism, e.g. the Islamic State, is a major threat to Syria, Iran, and the rest of the Middle East. Because governments often distort the nature of insurgents to their fit agendas, it can be difficult to distinguish between revolutionaries and the threat of terrorism. The American Revolutionaries sought a better life through better governance and fought to build a Country for all. The Islamic State fights for itself and the chance to impose their beliefs and rule over others. Like many wars, the Islamic State's war on the Arab world is about destroying the current governments in order to take their place as the oppressors of the Muslim Peoples. Where the Islamic State has continually demonstrated it is far more brutal and oppressive than the current Middle Easter powers, it is easy to incorrectly see the conflict as a choice between the status quo and something worse.
The Arab Spring Revolutions started, because the Middle East was filled with ineffective, dysfunctional, self-serving, and unresponsive governments. Looking at the Kurdish Peshmerga, they appear more than willing and able to the fight Islamic State on behalf of the whole region, yet people like the Turkish President, who pledged he would not allow a Kurdish state to exist, continue to fight the old feuds instead of the war they are losing. As a NATO member, the existence of a Kurdish nation would entitle Turkey to NATO support, if the Kurds were to eventually attack Turkey, thus their fears are irrational and rooted in the oppressive bigotry that drives many of the perpetual Middle Eastern conflicts.
Moreover, those struggling with their own revolutions must remember the goal is not just peace and security. The objective is also better governance through representation and the freedom from oppression in all its forms.
Independence Day is not just America's birthday. It is the anniversary for the modern era of democracy, which started the democratization process across the globe 229 years ago. The Fourth of July also marks the historic moment when America's Founding Fathers decided ending the oppression of the British Monarch and fulfilling the human need for freedom was worth more than the risk of war and their deaths at the hands of their oppressors. When considering the myriad of conflicts and the growing number of people oppressed by their own governments today, it is important to remember freedom and a better life do not come cheap or easy.
Unfortunately, the steady breakdown of fledgling democratic institutions in Russia has culminated in the Ukraine Crisis. China's rise as a global power has done more to empower its increasingly aggressive and oppressive government than the Chinese People, which has created a number of potential flash points for a massive global conflict. Meanwhile, Europe and the United States are plagued by the same economic woes that have left the Peoples of Africa and South American trapped in the oppression of deeply entrenched poverty. The Middle East is, of course, faced with utter chaos.
