The only virus sequenced and studied in triatomines is the Triatoma virus (TrV), from the the Dicistroviridae family which causes delayed development, reduced oviposition and premature death of infected insects. With the goal of expanding the sequences already obtained in previous years and verify if any changes occurred in their genomic sequences, 68 samples of triatomines from several provinces of Argentina were analyzed. Sixteen positive samples were obtained by RT-PCR using the VP3-VP1 subregion of ORF2 as a diagnostic method; after sequencing, 11 samples were obtained from T. infestans. These new sequences showed no significant differences in the analyzed regions, which were not grouped by species or habitat or geographical distribution. There were no differences when compared to the sequences found during 2002-2012, all obtained from the wild. We conclude that despite being an RNA virus, the different sequences show high homology.

Cover Reveal!
Uproar Books is thrilled to unveil the cover art for the upcoming gothic fantasy Asperfell by Jamie Thomas, launching February 18, 2020!
The illustration and design work are by the incomparable Khristian M. Collins.
Black cover blurb:
Only the darkest and most dangerous of Mages are sentenced to pass through the gate to Asperfell.
Not one has ever returned.
Never did Briony dream she might set foot in the otherworldly prison of Asperfell. She was, after all, neither Mage nor criminal. She was simply her father's little whirlwind—fingers smudged with ink, dresses caked with mud—forever lost in a book or the spirit-haunted woods surrounding her family's country estate.
But Briony always had a knack for showing up where she was least expected.
Only by braving the gate of Asperfell could Briony hope to find the true heir to the throne of Tiralaen and save her kingdom from civil war. And so, she plunges into a world of caged madmen and demented spirits, of dark magic and cryptic whispers… and of a bleak and broken prince with no interest in being rescued.
Hauntingly beautiful and lavishly told, Asperfell is a must-read for fans of Jane Austen who always wished she'd dabbled in blood magic.
Advance Review Copies are available in paperback or ebook to reviewers and media outlets. Please contact Rick Lewis for copies, or download now at NetGalley.

The Way Out drops May 2020
Uproar Books secures provocative sci-fi thriller tackling reproductive rights and telepathic children
Uproar Books has acquired worldwide English language publication rights to The Way Out by Dr. Armond Boudreaux of Statesboro, Ga.
A science-fiction thriller with a political edge, The Way Out explores a future where artificial wombs are required by law to protect the development of human embryos from conception to birth. The story follows two women—a reporter and a former U.S. Marine—who discover the laws have nothing to do with human health and everything to do with the sudden appearance of children with extraordinary telepathic powers.
"The Way Out is a provocative thrill ride about two amazingly strong women who don't flinch when it comes to protecting their families or finding the truth," said Rick Lewis, publisher at Uproar Books. "Behind the action, there are profound questions about who controls your health, your body, and your future. Not just any page-turner can stay with you like this one does."
A Humanities professor at East Georgia State College, Dr. Boudreaux draws inspiration from Southern literary giants such as Flannery O'Connor and William Faulkner, but with the heavy influence of epic, action-packed authors ranging from George R.R. Martin to Homer. He also writes nonfiction about the ethics and politics of superheroes, including co-authoring the book Titans: How Superheroes Can Help Us Make Sense of a Polarized World (Cascade Books, 2017). Born in Alabama, he now lives in Statesboro, Ga., with his wife and five children.
The Way Out will launch in the U.S., U.K., and Canada on May 19, 2020. It is the first novel in Forbidden Minds trilogy.

Uproar Books has set a February 18, 2020, release date for the science-fiction satire Always Greener by J.R.H. Lawless.
To celebrate, the publisher unveiled the cover to fans via ScifiandScary.com and announced Advance Review Copies are now available in paperback or ebook to reviewers and media outlets.
Centered on a reality show competition for the world's worst life, Always Greener explores a world where people gladly hand over all control of their own lives in exchange for the latest technological gadgets and a few minutes of fame.
"Timely is an understatement," said Rick Lewis, publisher at Uproar Books. "Mixing the absurd wit of Douglas Adams with the piercing insight of 'Black Mirror,' you can't help but laugh and wince at the same time."
On the cover, a disembodied eye attached by the optic nerve directly into a computer monitor in order to watch itself endlessly, capturing the novel's themes of absurdity, self-obsession, dehumanization, and technology run amok.
The cover also features a quote from The Maze Runner author James Dashner, who calls the novel: "An absolute joy to read. As clever as it is hilarious, as profound as it is captivating."
Back cover blurb:
LIFE'S BIGGEST VICTIM,
PLEASE STEP UP AND CLAIM YOUR PRIZE!
A smash-hit reality show is offering a lifetime of luxury to the one person living the world's worst life, and now everyone is out to prove just how bad they've got it.
Want in? All you've got to do is accept ocular implants that let the whole world see life through your eyes, twenty-four hour a day, seven days a week.
Fortunately, there's still one person who hasn't lost faith in all humanity. The show's ever-smiling host is determined to wring some tiny bit of meaning out of this twisted competition
and your unhappy existence.
There has to be a purpose behind all this misery.
…doesn't there?
Born in Newfoundland, Canada, raised in France, and come into his own as an author while living near an 12th century abbey in rural England, J.R.H. Lawless is an attorney by day and a speculative fiction author by night, penning novels and short stories, mostly in adult science fiction with a sharply humorous and occasionally political edge. He now lives and writes in Atlantic Canada with his beautiful family.

Meet our new author!
Washington state author Jamie Thomas secures publication deal for debut Fantasy novel
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (July 11, 2019) – Uproar Books has acquired worldwide publication rights to Asperfell by Jamie Thomas of Wenatchee, Wash.
An Adult Fantasy novel told in grand Victorian style, Asperfell is the story of a sharp-tongued, twenty-year-old aristocrat who is arrested and banished for magic she never knew she possessed. Locked away in the prison castle of Asperfell, she must find a way to escape back home with the true heir to the throne in time to save her kingdom and her family.
"Take the charm and wit of Jane Austen, then add gothic castles and blood magic, and you'll understand why we are so excited to secure the rights to Jamie's debut novel and introduce her to the world," said Rick Lewis, publisher at Uproar Books.
"While I love all the kick-ass ladies of today's fantasy novels, I wanted to create a heroine who accomplishes extraordinary things through ordinary means. At the heart of Asperfell is a woman who fights injustice with courage, compassion, and intelligence," said Thomas. "These are weapons all of us possess, and we should use them liberally because I, for one, do not know how to use a sword, nor do I wish to be arrested for carrying one in public."
A certified Language Arts teacher in the state of Washington, Thomas holds a Master's degree in English Education and did her graduate research in the area of gender equality in high school literary curriculum. She is an avid lover of Victorian novels and poetry, Gothic Romanticism, and feminist literature, as well as epic female-led fantasy and historical fiction. Thomas aims to smash the patriarchy one novel at a time, creating characters and worlds that inspire, empower, and elevate women.
Previously, Thomas studied opera and received her formal training at the University of Montana and the San Francisco Conservatory of Music, and she still enjoys performing occasionally, as well as teaching vocal technique. She lives in Wenatchee, Washington, with her husband, daughter, two enormous dogs, and two mischievous cats.
Asperfell will launch in paperback and ebook in early 2020. Thomas is the fourth author to sign with Uproar Books, a Nashville-based publishing company specializing in epic fantasy and science-fiction novels.

Uproar Books gets Lawless
Uproar Books, LLC, has acquired worldwide English rights to the satirical science-fiction novel Always Greener by J.R.H. Lawless.
In the not-too-distant future when ocular implants allow reality television to be beamed straight into—and out of—the human eye, the competition for world's worst life is about to begin. How far would you go to prove to the rest of humanity just how bad you've got it?
Completely ridiculous and entirely plausible, Always Greener follows the competition's ever-smiling host, an equally hopeful and hapless former weatherman, as he attempts to elevate the show and ring meaning out of his own unhappy existence.
"Insightful and hilarious, Always Greener will leave you laughing and shaking your head at the same time," said Uproar Books publisher Rick Lewis. "If you can imagine Douglas Adams writing for BLACK MIRROR, you'll understand exactly why we're so excited to work with Mr. Lawless and showcase his talents to the world."
"Life is absurd, so how else are you suppose to capture it accurately as an author other than to make fun of it?" said Lawless. "Uproar Books has been a tremendous partner already as I've fine-tuned and finalized the manuscript, and I'm thrilled to have them leading the charge as my publisher when Always Greener hits the market this fall."
Always Greener by J.R.H. Lawless is the third novel from Uproar Books, LLC, a new publisher of science fiction and epic fantasy novels based in Nashville, Tenn.

"It's a fast-paced adventure wrapped around a heartbreaking dilemma," said Rick Lewis, publisher at Uproar Books. "When Mina's pursuit of justice leads her to a new life with a truly loving family, she knows she'll lose it all if she doesn't let her father's killer go free. But can she? Should she?"
"This is a book about never giving up control of your life, no matter what the world tells you, no matter what life throws at you," said Skies. "Embrace who you are, and embrace the people who accept you for who you are."
Uproar Books also unveiled the cover art by French illustrator Edouard Noisette, along with the novel's tag line: "One sword. One thousand secrets."

About Sand Dancer
Only monsters summon fire by magic. It's a sin against the sun god and a crime against the king. The punishment is death.
But when sixteen-year-old Mina discovers fire magic runs in her family's blood, it's just the beginning of the secrets her father has been keeping from her.
When her father is murdered, this half-starved peasant girl finds herself on the run—pursued across the desert by the soldiers and guards of the noble Houses. To survive, she knows she'll have to abandon her past and learn the way of the sword. But only boys are allowed to carry a blade. There's only one solution…
Disguised as a young nobleman, Mina must make a new life for herself in the heart of her enemies. But she knows she can't keep up the masquerade forever. With time running out, which will she choose to find—the truth or revenge?

Wild Sun to launch May 1
Uproar Books unveils cover, sets launch date for Wild Sun
Sci-fi novel now available for pre-order at discount price
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (March 12, 2019) – Uproar Books is thrilled to announce May 1 as the launch date for the sci-fi epic Wild Sun by Ehsan Ahmad and Shakil Ahmad. And to celebrate, the company is giving speculative fiction fans their first look at the stunning cover art.
Wild Sun tells the story of the native slaves whose lush forest planet is now ruled by the cruel soldiers of a vast interstellar empire. It is the first book to be brought to market by the new science-fiction and fantasy publishing company Uproar Books.
"This is a book about maintaining hope and heart in dark times, and about the patience and perseverance it takes to keep up the struggle until the moment finally arrives for you to make a difference and change your world," said Shakil, who created the novel and its universe with his brother Ehsan.
Wild Sun's ethereal watercolor cover is evocative of the novel's themes. Artist Kirill Pashkov worked directly with the authors to capture their personal vision—blending nature, beauty, violence, and longing into a haunting work of art.
Following its launch, Wild Sun will be priced at $16.95 for paperback and $6.99 for ebook.
Readers have the opportunity to pre-order the ebook for a special price of $2.99.
About Wild Sun
On a world enslaved, the last embers of hope are fading into an unrelenting darkness. Conquered and broken, the natives are forced to ravage their own lush planet of its natural resources—all for the glory of a mysterious empire they've never seen and barely comprehend.
But not all light is lost. In the heart of one young woman alone, the gods have set a flame that cannot be extinguished. Cerrin remains as fierce and unyielding as the planet itself. And her chance to strike is fast approaching.
Above the skies of her home world, soldiers of the empire are welcoming their new civilian commander—a vicious nobleman blinded by hidden ambitions. When the new face of darkness turns its eyes on Cerrin, the fate of countless worlds will change forever.
Wild Sun is the debut novel of the Brooklyn-based Ahmad brothers and will be followed by two additional books in the Wild Sun series.

Uproar Books signs first authors
New sci–fi & fantasy publisher inks deals with Ahmad brothers, Trudie Skies
Uproar Books, LLC, has acquired worldwide English rights to the science-fiction novel Wild Sun by Ehsan Ahmad & Shakil Ahmad and the Young Adult fantasy novel Sand Dancer by Trudie Skies.
The Ahmad brothers were the first authors to sign with Uproar Books since the new speculative fiction publisher launched with a call for submissions in September 2018. As the first book in the Wild Sun series, Wild Sun introduces the forest planet Corvos and its enslaved peoples on the cusp of an uprising against an interstellar empire.
"Wild Sun is a powerful and deeply personal story of oppression and hope, and I knew right away it was the perfect novel to introduce Uproar Books to the world and show fans of science fiction and fantasy literature what our new publishing company is all about," said Rick Lewis, founder of Uproar Books.
As its second acquisition, Uproar Books secured the debut novel of British author Trudie Skies. The first book in the Sand Dancer series, Sand Dancer centers on a peasant teenager who must disguise herself as a nobleman in order to learn the way of the sword and avenge the murder of her father.
"Sand Dancer is a wild ride, an almost frantically paced adventure, with a fierce and unforgettable female hero trying to stay alive in a darkly magical desert kingdom," said Lewis. "We're beyond fortunate—I'd say blessed—to launch this company with such a supremely talented collection of authors right out of the gate."
About Wild Sun by Ehsan Ahmad & Shakil Ahmad
Wild Sun tells the fast-moving, emotionally powerful story of a defiant young woman named Cerrin whose primitive forest planet is conquered by an alien empire. As a slave in the depths of Mine Three, Cerrin prays every day to the god of war for a chance—any chance—to strike at her enemies. And when that chance comes, the fate of countless worlds will change forever.
"It's remarkably tight storytelling that leaves the space opera in the background while focusing instead on richly drawn individual characters and the personal crises that drive them each to new levels of despair and, ultimately, heroism," said Lewis.
"The heart of any good story is the people in it," said Shakil Ahmad. "We were always intent on writing an intimate journey with real and relatable characters, even if they live on a far-off world under the rule of an alien empire."
"Science fiction has always appealed to us because of the freedom and flexibility it brings to the storytelling process," said Ehsan Ahmad. "We can rewrite history or create entire civilizations from whole cloth, but what makes it meaningful, what makes it memorable, what makes it real, is the people who inhabit it."
Authors Ehsan and Shakil Ahmad simply love the art of storytelling—as audience or creators. It's a passion they've shared since their childhood, growing up in New York City as the first-generation American children of immigrants from Pakistan. Early in life, this passion led Ehsan to travel across four continents to meet the people of countless cultures and hear their stories firsthand. For Shakil, it meant seeking a deeper understanding of human nature through degrees in psychology and social research.
Today, the brothers are back in the city of their birth, working for separate tech startups while collaborating on screenplays and novels. Their debut novel Wild Sun will be published in spring 2019. For more information, visit TheWildSun.com.
About Sand Dancer by Trudie Skies
Sand Dancer is a breathless tale of magic, intrigue, and murder in a desert kingdom where the summoning of fire is a sin punishable by death. When a sixteen-year-old peasant girl named Mina discovers fire magic runs in her family's blood, she must disguise herself as a young nobleman if she hopes to discover the truth and avenge her father's murder.
"At the heart of Sand Dancer is a young woman who is frustrated her life seems entirely out of her control," said Skies. "She struggles constantly, often in self-destructive ways, to escape the demands and expectations of her rigid, male-dominated world. I think that's a very real and common experience for young women of any era or culture, whether it's a fantasy kingdom of swords and sorcery or the real world of today."
Author Trudie Skies lives in North East England but was born in Nottingham—Robin Hood country, she says. An IT administrator by day, she spends the majority of her free time imagining warmer climates and writing about them. Sand Dancer will be published in summer 2019.

Duma Passes Budget In Marathon Session
Dec. 02 2000 00:00
MOSCOW — After a marathon debate that lasted for more than 11 hours Friday, the State Duma passed the draft 2001 budget on its third reading.
The Duma, which had to consider more than 5,000 proposed amendments, voted 279-87 with three abstentions to approve the 1.19 trillion-ruble ($42.7 billion) bill, the country's first balanced budget since the 1991 Soviet collapse.
Earlier in the day, the Duma passed an amendment banning privatization of big companies until a law on the privatization program for next year is passed.
Deputies supported the amendment by 267 votes to 84, with one abstention.
Yevgeny Ishchenko, deputy head of the Duma's property committee and one of the authors of the amendment, said the bill aimed to suspend privatization of companies whose assets exceeded $150 million.
This would put on hold further sales of natural gas giant Gazprom, oil major LUKoil and oil companies Rosneft and Slavneft, he said.
Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Alexei Kudrin told deputies the government would introduce a draft of next year's privatization program to the Duma soon, but did not specify the date.
"It's impossible to stop the privatization process," Kudrin said, adding sales should not be confined to small enterprises.
The government has already budgeted 18 billion rubles ($600 million at a projected rate of 30 rubles per dollar) of expected privatization revenues for 2001 and is counting on proceeds from state property sales for possible funds to pay foreign debt, Kudrin said.
The budget has been criticized for relying on the assumption that oil will stay high.
The government said earlier this week it considered the sale of a 6 percent stake of LUKoil through American Depositary Receipts a priority for 2001.
The government also planned to sell about 2.5 percent of Gazprom and a blocking stake of 25 percent plus one share in Rosneft next year.
A fourth and final reading of the budget is tentatively scheduled for Dec. 14. The government won the State Duma's approval on the second reading by agreeing to redistribute spending to boost allocations for the military, education and science.
The Communist Party made good on its promise and voted against the budget Friday, but that failed to prevent the draft from garnering far more than the required minimum of 226 votes.
Some observers have said that the budget relies too heavily on the assumptions that high oil prices will continue and that Russia would be able to renegotiate payments on $48 billion in Soviet-era debt to nations known collectively as the Paris Club.
Negotiations collapsed this month with the International Monetary Fund on arranging a line of credit that the Kremlin could draw on if oil prices fall. Such an arrangement also would have been an IMF imprimatur that could boost Russia's attempts to renegotiate payments to the Paris Club.
Kudrin claimed Friday that the absence of IMF loans does not undermine the budget. "The budget will not collapse without IMF loans," Interfax quoted him as saying. "We will be able to settle the matter with additional revenues."

We are always striving to help businesses adapt to social media. It is in our job title: we market for different brands on social media. To do this, we are always researching the latest trends and statistics on the topic. I came across one today that initially shocked me. But upon further research, I mellowed out.
According to an article I read on convinceandconvert.com, only 33% of Americans follow brands on social media. At first glance, this was disheartening. 33%. Only one third of social media users. But, looking deeper into it, the picture is not so bleak. Not only is 33% still a significant chunk of social media users, the statistic only includes those who have chosen to follow brands. There is no mention of regular users who come across brand pages and advertisements daily. Needless to say, if those users were included, the statistic would most likely read, "99.9% of Americans are exposed to brand messages daily via social media".
The article led me to another statistic that completely eased my mind. Out of the 33% who follow brands, an average 53% of those people show heightened loyalty to those brands. This basically means that if someone has followed you on any social media platform, there is an average 50% chance that their loyalty to your brand will remain.
Its a lot of numbers, I know.
But, these numbers bring up a key phenomenon in social media marketing trends. Many business owners look to social media to simply grow their customer base. While it may work wonders for this purpose, rarely have I seen any that shift their focus at any point to customer retention.
The loyalty of your customers is greatly influenced by the effort you put toward keeping them around. This might seem obvious, but with so much focus being put on more this and more that these days, it often goes unchecked.
My advice? Take the time to retain your audience.
If your focus remains on constantly reaching out and acquiring new followers you may distance your brand from the people who would otherwise remain loyal. In addition, there is often no better marketing strategy than word-of-mouth and social media is a brilliant way to utilize your voice. Keeping those who already follow you engaged ensures your brand's growth on social media through modern day word-of-mouth between your followers and their friends.


NEW DELHI: The hype generated in the run-up to the official launch of Vitara Brezza seems to have paid off for Maruti Suzuki.
The car - launched on March 8 - found 5,563 buyers last month while Ford managed to sell 4,456 units of its EcoSport - Brezza's closest rival - in the same period. This was despite Ford offering a major price cut.
Brezza is Maruti's first attempt in the sub-four meter SUV segment - one that has been booming in India ever since EcoSport was introduced here.
While it is currently only available in the diesel variant, Brezza has taken the attack right into a segment where EcoSport has long commanded the lead. Striking looks, roomier interiors, a packed feature list and a leading service network has been Brezza's main strengths, the EcoSport though still scores in some areas.
For instance, EcoSport has a 1.5 litre engine as against Brezza's Fiat-sourced 1.3 litre diesel engine. Maruti claims Brezza can run 24.3 kilometres on each litre of fuel, while the EcoSport lags a bit behind at 22.27kmpl.
There is little doubt then that Brezza has several factors working for it, apart from the obvious fact that it is the stylish new kid on the block. Ford though will hope that the gap in sales between Brezza and its EcoSport does not widen to alarming levels.
To know where Vitara Brezza stands, read its full review here.


"However beautiful the strategy, you should occasionally look at the results," Churchill once said.
In the beginning of this year, we started working for what was then known as "the department of Virology of the Erasmus MC". Six months later they have turned into the "Virosciene lab, where skills meet to study and protect". A new word was invented and coined: "Viroscience [vaɪə'rɑsaɪəns] non-count. n. Area of medical science that comprises of all scientific disciplines that deal with viruses." And top science has a face now…. Have a look at www.virosciencelab.com!
At the same time, we started developing the "Science Inspired Tales – S!T" for the European Scientific Working group on Influenza. On 23 May, three top scientists got on stage in the Brussels Albert Hall theatre. After the event, many attendees told us they had the feeling that something very special had been going on. We could not agree less. Renowned scientists bringing their story on stage: a brand new concept to experience science. To savour the flavour of S!T, have look at any of our pioneering performers: Peter Openshaw's Our germs, our guns: an uneasy peace will teach you everything you need to know about the immune system in 18 inspiring minutes … Colin Russell's tale called Viruses travel tricky routes may look like science fiction – but it isn't. And Ab Osterhaus raises an interesting question: Viruses: are we winning battles but losing the war? Are we? Enjoy!
The concept of S!T? Check our trailer. And S!T may be coming to a theatre near you soon, because our concept is for sale: we have the ambition to organise S!Ts worldwide… In the aim to bring science closer to people. In a fun way. Realization of a great ambition.
Talking about ambition… Someone very precious to me once said you should not discard or bypass your ambitions. We @ Semiotics wholeheartedly agree. Some members of our team are working on a book…. "From corporate identity to corporate soul…" It's about how the word "identity" ceases to be applicable to organizations. "It is soooo eighties", my stepson would say. "Corporate" and "identity" may even turn into conflicting terms… Companies and organisations will have a hard time if they continue to rigorously impose a self-chosen identity. Rigid concepts do not fit in our current, rapidly changing world. What is the solution? It is looking at the combined characteristics of people in an organization, translating these insights in new strategies knowing that every organization is an integral part of society and – at the same time – constantly demonstrating the organization's benefits to society.
Another member of our team is working with his ambition as well. We proudly present: www.daviddepooter.net. Have a look and get inspired! We @ Semiotics follow many different paths to demonstrate what we stand for!
And, finally, let's look ahead. Well, we will be travelling quite a lot in the coming months. For the European Scientific Working group on Influenza, we are investigating pandemic preparedness in nine European countries with the US situation as a point of reference. How well was the world prepared before the H1N1 pandemic, what happened during the pandemic, and are we prepared for the next one? The outcome of this "Flu Quest" will be ready in December 2012. We'll keep you updated because it concerns us all.
We are also working on HIV in South Africa – helping scientists who are studying the link between herpes virus infections and ocular diseases in HIV-infected patients. A very new field of investigation, proud to be part of it!
And the organizers of the World Congress on Influenza (Options meeting) invited us to check the possibilities to organize a "Science Policy Interface" (SPI) for them in September 2013. This separate programme track for public health officials already ran 3 times at the European Conferences organized by ESWI. Implementing this on a world scale is very challenging for us. We go for it!

Sophie Margareta von Knorring, née Zelow (28 September 1797 – 13 February 1848), was a Swedish novelist and noble. She is regarded as a pioneer of the realistic novel in Sweden. Most of her novels are romantic love stories in an aristocratic environment.

Biography
She was born the offspring of the noble major Christer Göran Zelow, chamberlain at the royal court, and Helena Sophia Gripenstedt, at the manor Gräfsnäs on 28 September 1797. She and her four younger sisters was given an education regarded suitable for a female noble before marriage and debuting in aristocratic high society life: German, English, French, Italian, Music, painting and dance, all provided for by private teachers at home. They were taught religion, history and literature by the poet Arvid August Afzelius.

She lived in the capital of Stockholm with her mother and sisters from 1810, where she debuted in society in the 1812–13 season. This was a particularly lively society season in Stockholm, which is estimated to have affected her and her work: she was introduced to Madame de Staël, for whom she felt deep admiration. She also watched Racine and Corneille performed by the French theatre company, including the famous Marguerite Georges, which had been expelled from Russia, and tableau vivants and pantomimes performed by Henriette Hendel-Schütz, which made a great success in Stockholm.

In 1814, her father was ruined, and the family lived under limited circumstances. In 1820, she married colonel Baron Sebastian von Knorring. Her marriage in did not change her economic situation much, as though her spouse was a noble, he supported himself merely at his salary. She followed her spouse on his commendations: from 1834, they lived permanently in Axevalla. From 1827, she suffered from consumption, and though she "long mastered it successfully", she was forced to spend her winters inside, and eventually died from it. She was able to travel abroad a couple of times; she visited Copenhagen in 1838 and Germany and Austria in 1846.

Work
Sophie von Knorring debuted in 1834. As her first novels depicted several private people, such as her own former love objects, she initially wished to remain anonymous.

Her debut Cousinerna (The cousins) treats the subject of love opposite duty. A reoccurring theme in all her work was the tragedy in having to give up forbidden love, though this was also something necessary to do in the end. Her love stories normally portrayed the passionate love affair between a demonic male character and a virtuous female, who tragically but heroically defeated her forbidden desire with sense, religion and duty, even when acknowledging that there is nothing more painful in life than forsaking love.
In her novel Förhoppningar (Hopes), the hero of the story was the sixteen-year-old stepson and his former stepmother, the widow Ottilia, which was a controversial combination in the 19th century. According to the critic Böök: "She caresses desires in parallel with praising duty", which was reoccurring theme in her work. von Knorring herself stated that her true element was "the deepest secrets of the human of every day life". In her novel Torparen (The Farmer), her first novel not set in an aristocratic environment, she defended the right of "people of the lower order" to have their stories told without prejudice, as "they think, feel, act, rejoice and suffer the same as we do - though under different circumstances". During the 1830s and -40s, her books were translated to German, French, English and Danish.

Sophie von Knorring was inspired by Fredrika Bremer, though their opinion regarding feminism differed. Bremer has described von Knorring as a frivolous, witty and vivacious aristocrat with a consuming passion, who only succumbed to religion on her death bed. Her foremost professional rival, Emilie Flygare-Carlén, accused her in her novel Kamrer Lassman for being a seductress of youth and for having fault morals. She engaged publicly in an analysis of the psychology of adultery, which made her a target of Almqvist and von Braun. With her friend Malla Silfverstolpe, she participated in the public debate regarding common law marriage: in her novels, she wrote passionately of the strength of forbidden love, but they always ended in her characters tragically forsaking love for duty, and she objected to Almqvist radical idea that people should be able to live together for love without being married. Upon this, Almqvist replied in his article: "Why people argue against what they deep inside desire with the most heavenly corner of their soul".

She died of consumption 13 February 1848.

Legacy
Alongside Carl Jonas Love Almqvist, August Blanche, Fredrika Bremer and Emilie Flygare-Carlén, Sophie von Knorring dominated the Swedish realistic literature in the 1830s and 1840s.

Aside from other motivations-sport, self-defence-the gun-show universe is about pride, self-reliance, and resentment at being bossed around. Distinctively American traits, wouldn't you say? Best in moderation, no doubt-but still, where would the country be without those attitudes? I may get thrown out of Georgetown for this, but I say, good for them.
Though a Brit, as I say, I did not bring the default attitude of many Europeans (or East Coast liberals, same thing) to the event. I am by no means an instinctive gun controller. It is not obvious to me what is wrong with the argument that says, "The criminals already have guns; gun control disarms the rest of us." I don't know how many times I have heard that view sneered at, or laughed at, or pointed to as an infallible marker of stupidity. But I haven't ever heard it seriously confronted, let alone refuted. Thought experiment: would I feel safer walking around DC at night if the district allowed concealed carry, so that some fraction of law-abiding citizens on the street would be armed, or would I feel more at risk? Answer: safer.
Crook then confessed agnosticism on gun control and added he felt that resistance to "any and all" regulation would be on its face ridiculous. Nevertheless, given how left-leaning the Financial Times is and how it can exude condescension in its coverage of American politics, it's certainly refreshing to see one of its staffers express comfort with the individual's right to keep and bear arms.
KEITH OLBERMANN: And our winner, Justice Antonin Scalia of the Supreme Court. You've got around 30,000 gun deaths in this country per year, another 75,000 non-fatal gun wounds, half the suicides are by gun; and this clown and his four colleagues decided that the 32-year-old ban on handguns in Washington, D.C., and the demand that firearms kept in the home be locked or disassembled was unconstitutional based on the Second Amendment. You remember the Second Amendment: "A well-regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed." Despite years of fog created by the NRA and right-wing organizations, that isn`t very complicated: For the purposes of forming a state militia, you're entitled to keep and bear arms. Obviously, those would have to be the kind of arms in use in 1791, when the Bill of Rights was passed -- the musket, the wheel-lock, the flint lock, the 13th century Chinese hand canon. Stuff like that. Scalia, of course, simply decided that the militia part of the Second Amendment is some sort of quaint anachronism that he could happily ignore. And there's the beautiful thing about our country -- they say anybody can grow up to be a Supreme Court justice. And in Antonin Scalia, there's your proof, and tonight's "Worst Person in the World"!


This exhibition aimed to explore the development of the embellished image in India through the painted photograph, a genre that marks a significant chapter in the history of Indian photography. A crucial embodiment of the colonial encounter, these images abet the notion of modernism in visual practice at the turn of the 19th century.
With the successful incorporation of the Indian traditions of illumination in painting, the painted photograph slowly emerged as a self-sustaining convention, a meld of realistic documentation and artistic manipulation that was also a legitimate expression of popular culture. The bold alchemy of brush and lens enabled a riveting third artefact, a synthesis of painting, photography and printmaking- modern art forms that affirmed the links between regional imperatives, technological innovation and the urban market.
Indian photographic studios developed their own ateliers and workshops much in the manner of the traditional Mughal and regional 'schools' of painting. They adopted particular styles and devised distinctive provincial traits and palettes.
With exposure to both indigenous and European styles as well as to the newly evolved scientific protocols of imaging, 'native' commercial and professional artists and 'artist-photographers' steadily developed an idealised and formal photo-canvas, a monochromatic ground that simultaneously resists and yields to a layered impasto of colour. Thus, liberating the aridity of black and white photographs, which did not meet the Indian expectation of colour in art. Meticulously staged and ornamented photographs gradually initiated a new visual paradigm by catalyzing a form of hyperrealism in both art and photography.
The range of exhibits comprised of works from several royal principalities located between north and central India, primarily Rajasthan, Maharashtra and Gujarat. It also included images of commercial photographic studios in Bombay and Calcutta. Ranging from aspects of kingship to modes of art practice, these images highlight a unique facet of the British Raj from the 1860s to the 1930s.

Q: How do I push a message from my Node application to the client for a single user (session)? I'm trying to push messages from the server to the client, instead of repeatedly pulling from the client side, so that each client receives messages just for that user. I'm using the Sails JS framework.
I have a FooController that fires events that the client is listening for. In that controller I have an action with the following:
var count = 0;
module.exports = {
    hello: function (req, res) {
        if (!req.isSocket) {
            return res.badRequest();
        }

        sails.sockets.join(req, 'someRoom', function(err) {
            console.log('joined');
        });

        setInterval(function() {
            console.log(req.cookies);
            sails.sockets.broadcast('someRoom', 'someEvent', { greeting: 'Hello. Counter is ' + (++count) });
        }, 500);

        res.json({status: 'Everything is okay'});
    }
};

Client side, I am listening for the event and make one request to it. This keeps firing the event on the server-side indefinitely because of the setInterval.
io.socket.on('someEvent', function (data){
  console.log('hello joined now');
  console.log(data);
});

console.log('making get request');
io.socket.get('/foo/hello', function (body, res) {
    console.log('server responded');
});

The problem is that when I make another request from a different browser, it seems that the counter variable is synced. For example, if I make a request from Chrome and let the counter count up to 100, then go to Firefox and navigate to the same page, the counter will return 101, 102, 103, etc in Firefox.
I'm wondering why the counter doesn't start back at 0 for the new session in Firefox?

As a parent, if you have ever done any parenting style, strategy or solution research at all, you will have seen Supernanny Jo Frost all over the internet, including YouTube. While I was raising my children Supernanny Jo Frost was my hero and she still is today! What if her child rearing philosophy could be enhanced with a new attitude, new state of the art ideas, and all positive parenting solutions that would create even better outcomes with your child or teenager?
In April 2009, Supernanny Jo Frost was working with the DeMello family in and she showed the mom how to stand her ground to show the child who is in charge of the household! That is excellent, and it is essential as a role model's demonstration, for the many parents out there who believe their sole job as parents is to keep their children happy. This is a huge error!
In every episode we, as parents, learn how to do a proper time-out, how to take control as a parent with our voice and actions, and how to hold off anger and frustration with our children. Is there a way to empower our children to greater self-image, self-discipline and confidence versus disempowering them with punishment? The answer is absolutely yes! There is a way to empower your child every day and still have your child display the good, quiet and cooperative behavior you seek.
Time-outs, denial of privileges, and yelling are all direct punishment in your children's eyes. Old fashioned, traditional punishment methods and techniques will work with very small children and they will work temporarily, at best, but eventually these methods and techniques will steal the child's innocence and their self-confidence. I asked my husband Thomas to watch the YouTube video and tell me how Supernanny could create even greater success.
Here are 3 Parenting Style Secrets from Thomas' helpful hints that he gave me that enhance Supernanny's outdated punishment techniques.
If your child is running and yelling in the house and playing wildly with their brothers and sisters, 9o percent of the time, they are yelled at, threatened, and then put in their corner or bedroom a time-out. This tells the child that running and yelling are incorrect behaviors, and we all know that's know it's not actually true. It's healthy for them to exercise and vocalize with their loud voice. Where is the best place for them to practice using their play time and their loud voices?
The next time your child is running around the house, screaming and horseplaying with his sibling, you just capture their attention and ask, "Little Timmy, where is the best place for loud voice and horseplay? Is it inside the house, in the library, or outside in the back yard?" Little Timmy will know the answer and immediately go outside to yell and scream. This way, he is not on a naughty mat, embarrassed; he is encouraged, praised and loved for being who he is. A little boy who likes to yell, run and play.
2. Know the reward that is important to your child.
My husband calls this strategy of "to know the reward for your child" pre-framing. This is simply focusing on demonstrating positive energy to achieve exactly the same outcome of good self-discipline when you are at the library. You ask your child or teenager, "Little Timmy, what is the most important thing for you to experience today at our library?" Little Timmy will say something like "I'd like to get a book about cowboys, Mom!" "Excellent, Timmy, I would really love for you to get some books about cowboys! What kind of behavior is correct to use the entire time while we are in the library?" Little Timmy will always answer, "Inside behavior, Mom. Quiet voice and my slow walk." Your child is very wise and very intelligent. Make it his choice to behave. When it's his choice, he'll behave in order to receive his reward, his fuel, the book about cowboys from the library.
Children do not have the ability to make decisions because they cannot think abstractly yet. You cannot ask your child, "What do you want for supper?" if you want them to eat nutritious food. They will always default to McDonalds, Pizza or some other junk food. They will, however, always pick something good to eat if you make the decisions first and then offer your child their three choices.
For example, you may want little Timmy to eat vegetables at dinner. Supernanny makes the suggestion that they just take little bites while you keep encouraging them to give it a try. Doing this strategy is still your decision, and you are still dictating what is essential to you, not to them, that you want them to consume a vegetable. Therefore, instead, try this. You make a parent-approved decision about what is important to you, the parent. Then you ask them, "When we have dinner tonight, would you like to have peas, corn or carrots?" Your child will answer, "Hmm, how about carrots?" Yes! He just asked for carrots. I promise you that little Timmy will eat all of the vegetables on his plate today!
The quality of parenting can be more essential than the quantity of time spent with the child. For instance, a parent can spend an entire afternoon with his or her child, yet the parent may be engaging in a different activity and not demonstrating enough interest towards the child. Parenting styles are the representation of how parents respond and demand to their children.
Most studies, mainly in Anglophone countries, have shown that children with authoritative parents have the best outcomes in different areas.The case might be different, however, for Asian populations, where the authoritarian style was found as good as the authoritative one. On the other hand, some studies have found a superiority of the indulgent style in Spain, Portugal or Brazil, but the methodology of these studies has been contested. Actually, a recent study has shown that in Spain, using the same questionnaire that in other countries, the authoritative style continues to be the best one for children.
Marilee had grown up with very strict authoritarian parents, and decided that when she had children she would not be controlling with them the way her parents had been with her. Unfortunately, the only thing she knew to do was to be a permissive parent, which meant that instead of controlling her children, her children controlled her.
In the last year, Marilee went into therapy and started to learn about self-care. She realized that she had been allowing her three children, who are now teenagers, to run all over her.
The first thing that Marilee needs to do is accept that she has no real control over her adolescent children. At this age, and having been given little responsibility and limits, it is unrealistic to expect them to suddenly do what she wants them to do. In addition, they are not at all used to considering the effect their behavior has on her. Because she had not been taking care of herself, they had not learned to be considerate of her or helpful toward her.
However, this does not mean that their behavior will not change. It will not change in response to her demands or limit setting, but it may change in response to HER changes. Instead of trying to control them into taking personal responsibility, Marilee needs to be a role model of personal responsibility.
One aspect of her taking personal responsibility may be to speak openly with her children. She can share with them why she chose to be permissive in the past, and why this is not working for her now. She can ask for their help in what to do about the TV, the computer, and chores. Most children are far more willing to help when they are part of the process of finding solutions than when rules are imposed on them.
Children are naturally helpful and considerate of their parents and take far more responsibility for themselves when their parents are role modeling personal responsibility for themselves. As Marilee continues to learn about taking loving care of herself, she will naturally stop allowing her children to control her and let go of trying to control them. As she learns to stay tuned into herself and take care of her own needs and feelings, her children will begin to learn to do the same. All people, and especially children, respond to ENERGY far more than to actual words. When Marilee's energy is kind and personally powerful, her children will naturally begin to respect her. As long as she is trying to control them and/or allowing them to control her, they will have no respect for her and will be resistant to doing what she asks of them. But when they experience her as loving and secure within her self, they will be far more likely to respect her and care about her concerns.
The bottom line is this: people tend to treat you the way you treat yourself. If you ignore your own feelings and needs, they will tend to ignore you as well. If you judge yourself harshly, they will tend to be judgmental as well. If you try to control them into doing what you want, they will tend to be resistant.
Doing your own inner work and becoming a happy, secure, personally powerful and personally responsible person is the very best way of influencing your children to do the same.

The Winter Antiques Show returns this month with top designers
events | Jan 10, 2017 |
Jamie Drake, Caleb Anderson, Celerie Kemble and Miles Redd, designers known for their use of antiques, will serve as honorary design chairs for the Winter Antiques Show. Now in its 63rd year, the art, antiques and design fair will host more than 70 experts in fine and decorative arts, hailing from around the world, when it kicks off January 20 at the Park Avenue Armory. The show's net proceeds will go to the East Side House Settlement, a community-based organization in the Bronx that originally established the antiques show in 1955.
Gothic Cabinet by Bruce Talbert at H. Blairman & Sons
"We challenge ourselves every year to try and make the Winter Antiques Show more fun and exciting than the year before—to take it from strength to strength," says Arie Kopelman, Winter Antiques Show co-chair. "If we had a motto, it would be 'Let us surprise and inspire you!' In 2017, the Winter Antiques Show is continuing a tradition we started last year: We will have an A-list group of Honorary Design Chairs. This year, Jamie Drake and Caleb Anderson, Celerie Kemble and Miles Redd were chosen, and they are already lending their enthusiastic support. We are thrilled to be working with these four design stars."

"The Winter Antiques Show is an annual must-see on our list of fairs," say Drake and Anderson. "The show has always been so special, with a great focus on American design and the tastes of classic America. Yet, as the world has evolved, along with the interests of collectors, the show has come to reflect a sophisticated diversity of tastes. Over the years, we have found pieces from the tradition-rich dealers, such as Hirschl & Adler, Gerald Peters and Barbara Israel, as well as from the more recently added modern and contemporary sources, including Maison Gerard, Glass Past and Liz O'Brien. It is a splendid show, with pieces large and small, from accessories to grandly scaled furnishings and art. We love finding something that is unique, and tend to be drawn to sculptural furniture that accents more contemporary interiors."
A Rare Pair of Terra-Cotta Plaques by Robert Wallace Martin
Among the events running with the show are the inivte-only DECASO Designers Preview Brunch, which offers designers and their clients an exclusive morning preview on opening day; and the Young Collectors Night, held on January 26 and chaired by Wendy Goodman, design editor of New York magazine.
This year's loan exhibition is "Revolution & Evolution," which celebrates the Abby Aldrich Rockefeller Folk Art Museum, one of the Art Museums of Colonial Williamsburg and the oldest continuously operating institution in the United States dedicated solely to the collection, exhibition and preservation of American folk art.
"I always look forward to the Winter Antiques Show, as it's one of my favorite fairs of the year," says Kemble. "With pieces from antiquity to modern day, there are always objects that stand out and are sure to amaze. The show allows patrons to touch and feel objects, discuss the provenance with dealers, all while enjoying the scenery of the historic Park Avenue Armory."
"The Winter Antiques Show is a New York City institution, and a great way of seeing different dealers from all over the world," shares Redd. "I adore antiques, and the quality of the objects exhibited at the Winter Antiques Show sets it apart from other venues. I look forward to shopping there again this year, both for myself and for my clients." The show runs from January 20 to 29.

James R. Detwiler (born May 29, 1945) is a former American football halfback who was the 20th pick in the first round of the 1967 NFL Draft.  Before this he had been an All-Big Ten Conference player for the Michigan Wolverines from 1964 to 1966.

Early years
Detwiler was born in 1945 in Bluffton, Ohio. He was an all-city, all-state and All-American running back as a senior at Toledo's DeVilbiss High School in 1962.

One of the most sought after players in Ohio in 1962, Detwiler "refused an invitation to visit Ohio State, prompting Coach Woody Hayes to harangue him on the telephone one night for more than half an hour about being disloyal to the state of Ohio."

University of Michigan
In 1964, Detwiler was part of Bump Elliott's Big Ten Conference and 1965 Rose Bowl championship team.  The Wolverines narrowly missed a National Championship in 1964, in part due to a critical fumble by Detwiler into the end zone in the team's only defeat, a 21-20 loss to Purdue.  As he ran toward what appeared to be a touchdown, a Purdue defender hit Detwiler from behind, sending the ball flying into the end zone where it was recovered by Purdue.

Detwiler redeemed himself by scoring the only touchdown in the 1964 Michigan-Ohio State game (Michigan – 10; Ohio State – 0). Both teams were in the Top 10, and Detwiler scored on an 18-yard touchdown pass from Bob Timberlake in the final minute of the first half.  Ironically, all of Michigan's scoring in the 1964 game came from Detwiler and Timberlake, both of whom were natives of Ohio.  Detwiler later recalled: "My freshman year at Michigan, 21 of the top 30 guys on our team were from Ohio.  We had a huge contingent, I think, primarily because Woody was a little bit off the deep end in those years."

In the 1965 Rose Bowl, Michigan beat the Oregon State Beavers 34-7, and Detwiler had a 30-yard reception from Timberlake on a key scoring drive in the third quarter.

In the 1965 season, a knee injury limited Detwiler to three games. He had surgery to repair a torn anterior cruciate ligament.

In 1966, he returned from his injury, but he never fully recovered as his knee swelled after every game. He had the best game of his career against Ohio State in 1966, gaining 140 yards, and scoring a touchdown, on 20 carries—all in the first half.  The Wolverines won, 17-3, and Detwiler later recalled: "We knew after the first two series that we were the better team.  They couldn't stop us, and they couldn't do much against us.  But I'll tell you what: That game got me a pro contract."  As for why he did not play in the second half, Detwiler recalled: "I ran the ball more times in the first half than I had ever run it before, but I ran out of gas.  The coach very kindly told the media that I had the flu.  I actually was rubber-legged and couldn't play much after that."

For his career at Michigan, Detwiler had 788 rushing yards and seven touchdowns.

Detwiler was named to the first-team All Big Ten team, and he rushed for over 100 yards in the Blue–Gray Football Classic in 1966, earning himself the game's most valuable back award.

Professional football

The Baltimore Colts picked Detwiler in the first round of the 1967 NFL Draft as the 20th pick overall.  This was the first year that the 20th overall selection in the National Football League Draft occurred in the first round because the American Football League (AFL) and NFL drafted together for the first time. Detwiler was part of a class of six NFL draftees from Michigan that year (Mike Bass, Frank Nunley, John Rowser, Rick Volk, and Carl Ward). Detwiler signed with the Colts in May 1967. He received a $50,000 signing bonus and played in a couple preseason games in 1967, but his knee was still hurting.  He had more surgery on the knee and missed the entire 1967 season.  He failed to make the team in 1968, and his professional football career was over.  He is the most recent 1st round NFL Draft choice to have never played a game in the NFL.

Dental career and later years
Detwiler enrolled in dental school while trying to rehabilitate his knee.  He used his $50,000 signing bonus to put himself through dental school.

In 1971, Detwiler returned to Toledo and set up a dental practice near Perrysburg, Ohio.

The Justice Department is quietly amending its execution protocols, no longer requiring federal death sentences to be carried out by lethal injection and clearing the way to use other methods like firing squads and poison gas.
The amended rule, published Friday in the Federal Register, allows the U.S. government to conduct executions by lethal injection or use "any other manner prescribed by the law of the state in which the sentence was imposed." A number of states allow other methods of execution, including electrocution, inhaling nitrogen gas or death by firing squad.

Here's a nice example of some community lean training. The wider we can spread these ideas, the stronger our local business communities and economies will be. It's not just the John Deeres of the world who can benefit from lean. Rather than government subsidies and tax incentives, it would be nice to see our local and state governments sponsor training that can help make companies of all sizes more efficient — which is better for their long run success than being propped up without being given tools to get better.

Tonight is an exciting show for us. We invited Arvid Smith, songsmith, guitarist, and multi-instrumentalist to steer the wheel of tonight's Avant Radio. His theme was traditional instruments used in non-traditional ways. It's easily the biggest stretch we've made with the show – a show of textures and experimentation, we ask the listener to stretch their ears and open their minds with this show.


Russell has said goodbye to the central figures from a three-season stretch that included 71 victories, three 63rd District titles, three trips to the 16th Region Tournament semifinals and the 2016 region title.
If Mandy Layne has anything to say about it, that doesn't mean the region is saying sayonara to the Lady Devils as contenders.
In that endeavor, Russell will lean heavily on a pair of seniors who are no stranger to varsity time, but will be asked for greater production and leadership with Madison Darnell, Ty Mitchell and Rachel Michael having graduated.
Lakie Sanders averaged 11.0 points and 6.1 rebounds per game last winter in the post, making her the Lady Devils' leading returner in each category.
McKenah Morris's impact was more defensive, although she did chip in 2.4 ppg and 1.6 rpg last season in a reserve guard role.
Both seniors are ready for their turn to lead Russell on the floor.
"We've always looked up to older girls, and it's nice to be looked up to," Morris said. "(Younger players) think a lot of us, and they really respect us, and we respect them." For Sanders, playing against the likes of Darnell and Maggie Jachimczuk, a 2017 Russell graduate, in practice helped her prepare for this moment.
Russell must replace 31.3 points and 9.7 boards a night from its departed trio. Layne thinks the return of sophomore Aubrey Hill to full strength from a torn ACL in February 2017 will aid greatly.
Hill played in 26 games last year and notched 5.1 ppg and 4.6 rpg, but hasn't gotten back to 100 percent until now, Layne said.
Sophomore point guard Kaeli Ross is Russell's second-leading returning scorer, with 6.9 ppg last season.
Hill will join Sanders in the post. Layne said Sanders has increased her strength and her range.
Junior Malia Blevins, a projected starter, fits Darnell's mold with her versatility.
"She can post and she can shoot the 3," Layne said, and the coach added she will probably do some of both.
Morris will fill the defensive-minded guard role where Mitchell excelled, Layne said.
The core of last year's 173 junior varsity team will also help, Layne said. Sophomore Kylee Arthur and freshman Campbell Jachimczuk — yes, she's Maggie and Charlie's sister — add depth down low.
Twin freshmen Lindsay and Casey Wallenfelsz are both "great ball-handlers," and sophomore Alyssa Maynard and junior Bryanna Gillum are "both really good shooters off the bench," the coach said.
Seventh-grade point guard Shaelyn Steele is "super quick, super dynamic, super athletic," Layne said. She'll help, as will junior Kate Ruggles and senior Abby Satterwhite, fresh off fall seasons with Russell's volleyball and soccer teams, respectively. Layne looks for the latter duo's impact to be mainly defensive and added Ruggles can shoot, too.

Q: express redirect headers after they are sent I am using express:
// check user session
var user = req.user;
if(!user)
    res.redirect('/login');

res.render('report/search');

I get this error:
Error: Can't set headers after they are sent.

How to stop after redirect?

A: In expressjs any method on responose liek redirect, render, json, etc doesn't stop the execution of the request handler and it executes until the end. You can have any code there and it will work, but you can't send the response to the client twice, that's why you're getting this error.
To solve it you need to either use return if-else clause:
var user = req.user;
if(!user)
    return res.redirect('/login');

return res.render('report/search'); //this return is not required, but it's still good to have it there

Or:
var user = req.user;
if(!user) {
    res.redirect('/login');
}
else {
    res.render('report/search');
}

Electricity prices: the government's "whatever it takes" to contain the increase
Jan 14, 2022 contain, cost, Economy, EDF, electricity, French economy, government, increase
Twenty billion euros, or almost a quarter of what income tax brings in. It is the astronomical invoice of the "whatever it takes" to protect the French from soaring electricity prices.
The executive thus decided, Thursday, January 13, that it was going to force EDF to resell a little more electricity to its competitors by raising the ceiling of the Arenh device from 100 to 120 TWh, in exchange for a small increase in the price. , which will drop from €42/MWh to €46.20/MWh for this additional share.
In September, Prime Minister Jean Castex announced the establishment of a "tariff shield» to limit the increase in EDF's regulated electricity tariff (TRV) to 4%, on 1er February. To achieve this, he then counted on a reduction of the internal tax on the final consumption of electricity(TICFE), of approximately 8 billion euros, "at the lowest of what is authorized by European rules", we say in Bercy.
A price increase of 35%
A revaluation of the energy check (600 million euros) then the distribution of an inflation allowance to 38 million French people (3.8 billion euros) to contain the impact on the purchasing power of households did not not enough. Because electricity prices have since climbed faster than expected, due to the drop in EDF's nuclear production but above all the surge in gas prices (which represents 20% of electricity production in Europe) , due to both an increase in demand and a drop in deliveries from Russia.
→ ANALYSIS. Electricity: the government is giving itself the means to block tariffs
The fall in the TICFE was thus to offset a rise in electricity prices of around 20%, but which has now reached 35%, according to Bercy. Hence the obligation imposed on EDF to make a little more cheaper electricity available to other operators, whereas market prices are currently around €200/MWh.
A "late" government announcement
The measure enables the government to respect the commitment made to individuals. It has also been demanded for several months by manufacturers, in particular by large electricity consumers, some of whom have started to reduce their production so as not to sell at a loss.
According to calculations by Uniden, which brings together electro-intensive, the increase in Arenh volume will represent a 15.5% drop in the purchase price of their electricity, which will average €87. /MWh this year, representing savings of 2 billion euros. "The government's announcement is welcome, but it is taken late and will only apply this year and from 1er April, i.e. after the winter months, when prices are traditionally higher ", tempers Charlie Evrard, president of My energy broker.
→ ANALYSIS. Electricity: the disarray of industrialists in the face of soaring prices
The question of a possible catch-up in 2023 remains in any case. The government remains very evasive on the subject and does not provide a clear answer. The setting of the TRV depends on a very complex formula, fixed by law and calculated by the Energy Regulation Commission (CRE), of which the market prices are one of the components, up to a quarter to a third.
"EDF will have to buy the additional share of Arenh at a high price"
However, it is not at all excluded that these remain very high. Unless the temporary and costly fall in the TICFE is extended, the TRV could therefore rise again. If the government does not raise the Arenh ceiling to 150 TWh, to protect it at this level, "consumers risk seeing their electricity bills explode in 2023", warns the UFC-Que Choisir.
In all cases, the note is likely to be high, for the consumer or the taxpayer. The rise in the Arenh will, in fact, be very expensive for EDF, whose share price plunged on the stock market on Friday 14 January. "He has already sold his electricity for 2022 and will have to buy back Arenh's additional share at a high market price to resell it at €46.20/MWh", underlines Julien Teddé, the president of the broker Opéra Énergie.
The State to the rescue of the company
EDF has also just revised its nuclear production downwards for 2022, to 300/330 TWh, against 330/360 TWh previously, due to problems encountered on certain reactors. (read opposite). In total, the electrician expects a drop of around 8 billion euros in its gross operating surplus this year.
→ ANALYSIS. Electricity: RTE does not rule out power cuts in mid-January
It is "a new stage in the spoliation of EDF for the benefit of the competition", according to the CGT, which accuses the government of " to kill " the company. The State, its main shareholder (83.7%) will therefore have to return to the pot by a capital increase. "We will continue to support EDF», we assure Bercy. Already, for this year, the dividends paid to the State will be in title and not in cash.
Alert on the nuclear fleet
EDF will have to inspect all of its nuclear fleet for corrosion problems, the Nuclear Safety Authority (ASN) said on Friday January 14. Currently, 5 of the 56 reactors are already shut down for corrosion detected on the cooling circuits.
→ THE FACTS. Nuclear: defects observed on the most recent EDF reactors
Until now, this concerned the four most powerful (1,450 MW) and most recent reactors, at Chooz (Ardennes) and Civaux (Vienne). But a similar deficiency has just been noted on that of Penly 1 (1,300 MW). The concern is all the greater as there are 19 other similar reactors in the French fleet. EDF has already announced that the Chooz 2 and Civaux reactors will not restart until December 31, 2022.

Add my lovely Mother-In-Law, who seems to be at peace following our lead, and it really is a mish-mash to handle. As for me? I am wanting to take in more of the atmosphere on this trip. As many know, Disney is IN the Details! And, this trip, I am going to be looking at details!
In the meantime, I will not be making as many entries on my blog over the next few weeks while we finish our planning. But, I will be sharing our adventures via this blog in the form of daily trip reports. I hope you will enjoy the entries. Upon our return, I will give a wrap-up of our vacation and our use of the MagicBands. I have realized that we can talk about it all we want, but it is the experience that will teach us the most!
Have a magical weekend, my friends!

A blog about life as a Music industry professional, what is going on why do we choose artists like we do and what kind of work are we doing.
Putting up goals, put the right ones.
Yes it has really been clear the past weeks to put down the goals on a paper (a computer document is more right). It's more to have something to measure against. We put up these goals every five years.
This round has been clearer than ever, and more detailed than ever. Much thanks to an EU project that we are a part of that really has gone in to the core of the business.
I have over the years tried to implement this on our artists and artists in general. The problem has usually not been as clear as they are right now. When you ask an artist to make a plan they go after the wrong goals. And many times I have let them do it since we didn't see what was really important in the new industry. Most plans I see contains things like:
1. In one year we have a signed record deal.
2. We have given out an album
3. We tour Europe to support the album.
4. We play midsized festivals.
5. We do a showcase in USA.
Okay goals. But it all miss the important thing, audience. And center of all it all comes down to get a record deal. If that doesn't happen? Well then it will be no album, no album no European tour. And goodbye to the midsized festivals since they need an album release.
The reality is usually that they are not ready for a deal. Maybe the songs is not there. Actually even with a deal you need a constant flow of songs. So one goal should be how many songs that should be written over the year.
And an album release might not secure the festivals or European tour. That has to do with bodies that the music can draw to a place. One goal should be to set limits of fans on their social media.
Showcase in USA, also here is many factors that breaks in. Most of all why do that? Is there a interest from there. Is it get a better network? It might be the best of the suggestions in the plan but can also be the worst.
What I see is often that the artist looks in the plan that someone else should do the work. Their work is mainly to find that person, then their work is over and the magic happens.
Right now more than ever you can do plans with goals with simple tools just relaying on getting the people that likes your art.

Published at Tuesday, January 29th 2019. by Gerda Andersen in Kitchen Floors.
Installing new vinyl, cork, or linoleum flooring in an old house usually means laying it over an existing floor. If that is the case, do not rip out the old floor if there is any chance that it contains asbestos. Instead, lay down new 3⁄8" smooth-face plywood before tackling the tiles or sheet goods (remove the kickboards from lower cabinets and scribe shallow cuts as necessary around door frames).


OK, more like a bad week for Ted Kennedy's family and travel. Ann Coulter starts off on the Kennedys, then demands that conservative Republicans get some backbone. She makes a serious point about Democratic efforts to criminalize politics.
