On Thursday, August 10, 2017 , we will be holding our annual golf outing and picnic. The event will again be held at the Johnson Golf Course and the covered pavilion at Johnson Park. Our goal is to have at least 40 golfers participate. Our tee-times will begin at 12:00 p.m. Please feel free to organize your own foursomes. If you do not have a complete foursome, we will fill out your group with other similar golfers. We will again be given the resident rate for 18 holes. There will be an additional charge for carts. To try and increase the number of people golfing, we will again offer both the traditional scoring format together with a scramble format. There will be prizes for both formats. When you sign up, please let me know which format you would like to participate in. The rules relating to the scramble will be explained on the day ofthe event. Since golf should conclude at approximately 5:00 p.m., we will start the picnic at that time. As in years past, the picnic is going to be free for all of our bar members and will include steaks on the grill and corn on the cob. Beer, soda and water will also be included. Please indicate below whether you plan on attending the golf outing and/or the picnic. I would appreciate it if I could have your responses back to me by July 31, 2017. Thank you.
Please RSVP to Matthew Johnson (262) 637-8551 or matthew.johnson@mjt-law.com if you are attending. The CLE, presented by Peter Wyant, will be related to trusts and estates. The CLE starts at 4:00 p.m. The Annual Meeting continues at 5:00 p.m. Dinner to follow.

Q: fata Exception in main and null pointer Exception I have created 3 activities
In First Activity there are two buttons when I click on startNotification it starts notification
and noted down start time.when we click on notification it opens secondActivity and send noted
time.when I go to thirdActivity from there when I now go to second activity then its give error as NullPointerException.
On Button Click

            NotificationManager notificationManager = (NotificationManager) getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
            String MyText = "Reminder";
            Notification mNotification = new Notification(R.drawable.ic_launcher, MyText, System.currentTimeMillis() );
            int iUniqueId = (int) (System.currentTimeMillis() & 0xfffffff);
            String MyNotificationTitle = "Medicine!";
            String MyNotificationText  = "Don't forget to take your medicine!";
            MyIntent = new Intent(MainActivity.this,SecondActivity.class);
            MyIntent.putExtra("s1",System.currentTimeMillis());

            //PendingIntent StartIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(getApplicationContext(),UNIQUE_INT_PER_CALL,MyIntent,0);

            PendingIntent contentIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(context,iUniqueId,MyIntent,0);
            //A PendingIntent will be fired when the notification is clicked. The FLAG_CANCEL_CURRENT flag cancels the pendingintent

            mNotification.setLatestEventInfo(getApplicationContext(), MyNotificationTitle, MyNotificationText, contentIntent);
            mNotification.flags |= Notification.FLAG_AUTO_CANCEL;
            notificationManager.notify(0,   mNotification);

Second Activity

    Intent i=this.getIntent();
    if(i!=null)
    {
        **data=i.getStringExtra("summar");**

        if(data.equalsIgnoreCase("MainActivity"))
        {

            z=i.getExtras().getLong("s1");
            int minutesZ = (int) ((z /(1000*60)) % 60);
            int minutesZ1 = (int) ((System.currentTimeMillis() /(1000*60)) % 60);
            Log.v("SecondTime",""+minutesZ);
            Log.v("CurrentTime",""+minutesZ1);
                x1=i.getExtras().getLong("s1");
            p=System.currentTimeMillis()-x1;
            int minutes = (int) ((p /(1000*60)) % 60);
            text1.setText(""+minutes);
        }

        if(data.equalsIgnoreCase("ThirdActivity"))
        {
            //do something here
            Toast.makeText(SecondActivity.this,"hiii",2000).show();
        }
    }

Third Activity

 b1.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

        @Override
        public void onClick(View arg0) {
            // TODO Auto-generated method stub

            Intent i=new Intent(ThirdActivity.this,SecondActivity.class);
            startActivity(i);
            i.putExtra("summar","ThirdActivity");
        }
    });

A: In your third activity you are starting the intent and then putting extra into it.. Instead try:
Third Activity
 b1.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

    @Override
    public void onClick(View arg0) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub

        Intent i=new Intent(ThirdActivity.this,SecondActivity.class);
        i.putExtra("summar","ThirdActivity");
        startActivity(i);

    }
});

And also in your second activity try to have an extra check (using hasExtra() option available in intent) in your condition :
Intent i=this.getIntent();
    if(i!=null)
    {
        if(i.hasExtra("summar"))        //---Might be useful if the intent doesn't have that extra
             data=i.getStringExtra("summar");

    if(data.equalsIgnoreCase("MainActivity"))
    {

        z=i.getExtras().getLong("s1");
        int minutesZ = (int) ((z /(1000*60)) % 60);
        int minutesZ1 = (int) ((System.currentTimeMillis() /(1000*60)) % 60);
        Log.v("SecondTime",""+minutesZ);
        Log.v("CurrentTime",""+minutesZ1);
            x1=i.getExtras().getLong("s1");
        p=System.currentTimeMillis()-x1;
        int minutes = (int) ((p /(1000*60)) % 60);
        text1.setText(""+minutes);
    }

    if(data.equalsIgnoreCase("ThirdActivity"))
    {

In keeping with AIHce 2011's theme--"Innovate. Integrate. Inspire."--the conference will host a lineup of keynote speakers whose work has embodied those three verbs.
Former NASA flight control director Gene Kranz will command the podium for the opening general session, Monday, May 16, from 8-9:30 a.m. Best known as the leader of the "Tiger Team" of flight directors who brought the imperiled Apollo 13 spacecraft and its crew of three astronauts back to Earth, Kranz received a Presidential Medal of Freedom for his role in that mission and later landed on the New York Times bestseller list for his book Failure Is Not an Option: Mission Control from Mercury to Apollo 13 and Beyond. Following the opening session, he will be signing copies of that book at the AIHA booth (913) on the expo floor.
For the May 17 general session, from 8-9 a.m., the speaker will be Michael P. Wilson, Ph.D., MPH, associate director for integrative sciences at UC Berkeley's new Center for Green Chemistry. His address, "Green Chemistry: A Strategic Opportunity for Industrial Hygiene," will revolve around the fact that 74 billion pounds of industrial chemicals enter the United States daily. Many of these are toxic, and most will survive long enough to impact the planet. Considering that global chemical production will double in the next 24 years, Wilson will discuss the role IH professionals have in helping businesses understand green chemistry's potential for reducing or eliminating worker exposures, improving product stewardship and innovation, and accelerating competitive advantage.
OSHA chief David Michaels, Ph.D., MPH, will take the stage for the May 18 general session, 8-9 a.m., discussing OSHA's initiatives, challenges, and directions. In particular, he will focus on how the agency's current programs and those planned for the future may affect occupational and environmental health and safety professionals. As part of his presentation, he will field questions from the audience.
Next year's conference and expo will take place for the first time ever in Indianapolis, June 2-7. The year after that, AIHce 2013 will convene in Montreal, May 18-23.


Manhattan College Parkway, the heart of the Bronx, is one of the most thriving areas around here. It spreads between Manhattan College and one of the most prevalent 1 line subway station. Unfortunately, there is no bus service up here, so that is a bit inconvenient, but the area itself is worth a look. It is partly a residential area, with some lovely restaurants. It is a fairly quiet area, and quite green compared to its environment. The houses here are considered upscale, especially because the lack of public transportation gives it a more exclusive feel. I have a feeling that most residents here own a car, and are able to get around. It's a nice place to visit, although maybe not so great to live if you need to get downtown fast.
Manhattan College Parkway, predictably, gets it name from Manhattan College. It begins on the East at Broadway, right where the number one subway ends. There are no buses that go up there, so you would have to take a taxi, as it probably wouldn't be practical to walk unless you were going only part way.
In the beginning, there are some apartment buildings and a restaurant, and then you get to some really lovely apartment buildings and a home for the elderly. You will pass Manhattan College on your right. Then the road bears left and heads up the hill.
Like most of Riverdale, Manhattan College Parkway is green and leafy. As you continue on, you start coming to beautiful big private houses, many of them selling for much more than a million dollars, even in this market. Riverdale is a place that is in the city but still maintains a suburban feel. The drawback is the lack of public transportation, but at the same time, that's also part of it's charm and contributes to the suburban feel. Unless you are a kid, this will not be an issue for you if you live here, as I am sure that all residents have at least one car, a necessity in this neck of the woods.


Why Do People Say "Keep Your Fork"?
This passalong will lift your spirit and fill you with hope.
"This is very important," the young woman continued. "I want to be buried with a fork in my right hand."
"That surprises you, doesn't it?" the young woman asked.
The young woman explained. "My grandmother once told me this story, and from that time on I have always tried to pass along its message to those I love and those who are in need of encouragement. In all my years of attending socials and dinners, I always remember that when the dishes of the main course were being cleared, someone would inevitably lean over and say, 'Keep your fork.' It was my favorite part because I knew that something better was coming...like velvety chocolate cake or deep-dish apple pie. Something wonderful, and with substance!"
So, I just want people to see me there in that casket with a fork in my hand and I want them to wonder "What's with the fork?" Then I want you to tell them: "Keep your fork ..the best is yet to come."
The Pastor's eyes welled up with tears of joy as he hugged the young woman goodbye. He knew this would be one of the last times he would see her before her death. But he also knew that the young woman had a better grasp of heaven than he did. She had a better grasp of what heaven would be like than many people twice her age, with twice as much experience and knowledge. She knew that something better was coming.
At the funeral people were walking by the young woman's casket and they saw the cloak she was wearing and the fork placed in her right hand. Over and over, the Pastor heard the question, "What's with the fork?" And over and over he smiled.


Conventional financial accounting uses money as its unit of account, and there are established methods for the use of multiple currencies when this is needed because of the nature of the business.
Money and conventional double entry accounting was a very powerful system for accountability when the economy was relatively small and impact on society and the environment was ignored without much consequence.
But the 21st century is different. The population of the world is at record levels, and the degradation of the environment in many different ways has become consequential.
There is a need now for UNITS OF ACCOUNT that are relevent for ALL the impacts associated with economic transactions.
Withut a relevant unit of account, it is almost impossible to measure, and thus almost impossible to manage.
LAND IS LIMITED and there are many alternative uses that are required in a sustainable system.
Changes in the ATMOSPHERE as a result of Green-House-Gas (GHG) emissions are changing climate behavior with huge existential implications.

Lindsay Maloney:
How to Stand Out in the Entrepreneurial World
On today's episode I'm interviewing Lindsay Maloney, a self-made business and success coach who specializes in teaching women how to start and scale their dream coaching businesses with simplicity.
Lindsay believes that you should always choose to use your intuition to guide you as you grow your business. With her step by step, intuitive, and creative guidance you'll feel inspired to take her tips into action, push your business forward, and work with your dream clients. Lindsay works with women who want to get unstuck and structure their brilliance into a coaching business that's sustainable and financially exhilarating. She is also the creator of Stand Out Coaching Academy and is the host of the Book Your Dream Clients podcast.
In this episode you'll hear:
The joy behind Lindsay's story as she searched and found what her true passion and driver was for her own business and how she took that and turned it into something her clients could replicate for their own businesses.
Lindsay's encouragement to other entrepreneurs on the best way to grow your business to be able to find the success you always dreamed of having.
"The biggest thing is I let myself evolve. I didn't become attached to anything that I wanted to be or what I thought I should be. I just let myself evolve into where I needed to go and I was totally open to it. This isn't an overnight thing, it's something that I was patient with…I think one of the most important things that we can do as entrepreneurs is to just stop tying yourself up with all of these expectations that mean really nothing, and just let it go."
Lindsay's thoughts on investing in our businesses and how, more often than not, when you invest in your business (financially or for personal development), you see a return on that investment– and it's always worth it.
What "going for it" in our businesses means for Lindsay and how she helps encourage other entrepreneurs to not be a "one hit wonder coach."
"I believe we should always be going for it. I think it's really important to always be surrounding yourself with a group of people who you look up to, whether it's a coach or a group program, whatever that may be because it helps you manifest the results for yourself. When you're going at it alone, you can get kind of blindsided. I think that's where a lot of entrepreneurs trip up. They decide to stop investing in themselves because they think they know everything. This is a one hit wonder coach."

There's going to be a movie?!


One night I received a very interesting call from Reno, Nevada. My childhood friend, Syd Smith, was purchasing an automobile dealership in Hamilton, Montana. While I was over in Germany doing missionary work, he was going to dental school. Now he was practicing medicine in Nevada, but he was getting ready to move to Montana where the fishing and hunting were better. He wasn't ready to move up there yet, but he had found a business for sale, a Dodge car and truck agency, and felt like he needed to move quickly before someone else picked it up. That's why he was calling me. He knew I had experience in the car business, plus I had an MBA degree. He thought I would be the right guy to run his new car and truck business.
I told him I had never sold cars before and that I wrote speeches and read newspapers at Ford. He insisted we could learn the business together. A few weeks later he picked me up at the Missoula airport, and we drove down through the beautiful Bitterroot Valley to check things out.
Mellott Motors was a little business, not on a main street, and had sold only sixteen new trucks that year. Harry Mellott, the owner, was getting old and wanted to retire.
Shortly after Christmas, Sharon and I threw all our earthly possessions into a U-Haul truck, and with our two little boys, we headed west to our new home in Hamilton, Montana. I started work January 2, 1971. I was wearing a white shirt and tie and my best suit, ready for two events that would help set the course of my future in Montana.
First, a young man named Bob Maloney, who had been severely wounded in Vietnam and was now confined to a wheelchair, came in to look at new Dodge Chargers. We had one in stock, and it was loaded. He had a substantial disability benefit, so after an hour or two of talking and test-driving, we filled out the papers and he drove away in his new Dodge. I had sold my first car. I believed I would sell many more. I was glad we had moved to Montana.
The second event that shaped my future was a get-acquainted visit by the other car dealers in town—the Cadillac-Olds dealer, the Chrysler dealer, and the friendly Ford dealer. All of them were men twice my age. None of them wore suits. They weren't nervous and jumpy like some of the executives I had known at Ford. They were self-confident small business owners, used to doing as they pleased.
I was impressed until they began to explain what they perceived to be the reality of doing business in Montana's Bitterroot Valley. They said 80 percent of the cars and trucks were purchased by farmers and ranchers, men and women whose grandparents killed Indians to get their land. These folks had deep roots and traditions and did not like buying cars and trucks from city slickers like me.
My fellow dealers knew I had moved to Montana from Philadelphia. Others before me had come from the big cities to sell vehicles, and all had failed. I was an outsider, a city slicker; the farmers and ranchers would not buy from me, and I would fail. They said it couldn't be done. They told me I seemed like a nice young man, but I ought to start looking for a different way to make a living because the car and truck business was not going to be kind to me.
I explained all this to Syd on the phone that evening, and he thought they were bluffing. We knew about that from our childhood poker games. I wasn't so sure. In the weeks to come, though I was selling a reasonable number of new and used vehicles to the townspeople, the absence of the farmers and ranchers was apparent. I didn't know what to do about it.
Sharon and I were renting a house a mile or so east of town, up against the mountains. We had a barn and nineteen acres of pasture and woods. Though I was nervous about the warning from the other dealers, I wasn't about to pass up the opportunity to start riding horses again, the activity I had loved so much as a child.
A local racehorse breeder named Darrel Cozad was in the Hamilton ward where we went to church. I told him I wanted to buy a horse that both my wife and I could ride. He said he had several like that for sale and I ought to come and take a look. I did, and the least expensive one was $650. In 1971 that was a lot of money to pay for a horse, at least it seemed that way to me considering the precarious nature of my new profession, so I decided to keep looking.
A few days later I found a four-year-old quarter horse mare advertised in the newspaper. The owner wanted only $225 for her. She looked every bit as good as the more expensive horses Darrel Cozad had tried to sell me. There were two reasons for the low asking price. She didn't have any papers, and she had been ridden only twice. I figured I was a good enough horseman to finish the training, so the purchase was made and I took her home.
After that, when I ran into Darrel at church, he would tease me about my mongrel horse, wanting to know if she had bucked me off yet. Sharon was a little nervous about me bringing home a horse that was not broken. The horse was nervous too, trotting back and forth in the little pasture outside our kitchen window. We named her Sundance.
The second or third morning after we brought her home, as we sat down for breakfast, two-year-old Bobby turned up missing. He was nowhere in the house. His huge Tonka dump truck was missing too. Then we saw him, outside in the pasture with the new horse. Bobby was bent over his dump truck, trying to push it under the horse's belly. One of the mare's feet was in the way, and our boy was ramming the truck against the foot. The horse appeared relaxed and calm and made no effort to kick Bobby. Quietly, we went outside and persuaded him to come in for breakfast.
At first I rode Sundance in a corral, and then I started taking her out on the logging roads through the forest above our house. In time I started galloping her, faster and faster. She liked to run, and seemed very fast. She never tripped or stumbled. I was very pleased with my purchase. In time I let Sharon ride her around the yard. At church, Darrel continued to tease me about my mongrel horse, while telling me how well his Appaloosa racehorses were doing on the tracks in Montana and Washington.
Then one Monday morning, Darrell Cozad showed up at my place of work. We had changed the name from Mellott Motors to Smith Motors. Darrell had a lot of miles on his Chevy pickup and wanted to trade it in on a new Dodge. He was a tough customer and worked hard to get the best possible price. I wanted so much to sell him a new truck, but I wasn't about to give it to him.
After more than an hour of dickering back and forth, a strange and wonderful idea entered my mind. We were about fifty dollars apart, the difference between what he was willing to pay and what I was willing to accept.
"Let's stop dickering over price," I said. "We're only fifty dollars apart. I'll race you for the difference, my mongrel pony against any one of your fancy racehorses. I'm tired of you giving me a bad time over my cheap horse. I believe I can beat you in a horse race. If you win you can have the new truck at the price you have agreed to pay. If I win, you will give me an extra fifty dollars. Do we have a deal?" I extended my hand.
He looked at me like I was nuts or that maybe I knew something he didn't. He was sure my little mare didn't have a chance against one of his racehorses, and I guessed he was probably right.
"Do we have a deal?" I asked again, still holding out my hand. Finally he reached out to shake my hand. We both smiled, the tension between us gone. He gave me the title to his old truck, and we filled out the papers with the understanding that he would give me another fifty dollars if I won the race.
"Let's get our horses," he said when the deal was done.
"Fine, see you Thursday at eight." He climbed into his new truck and drove away.
I went to my desk, opened to a clean page on my yellow note pad, and scribbled out the copy for a radio advertisement announcing a grudge race between a Montana rancher and a city slicker car dealer from Philadelphia, two men who could not agree on the price of a truck, so they were settling their difference the old-fashioned Montana way, a horse race at the Ravalli County fairgrounds, Thursday night, eight o'clock, public invited.
I called the fairgrounds to make sure we could have our race there and then took the ad over to radio station KLYQ, the only one in the Bitterroot Valley at the time. They started running the ad ten or twelve times a day. By Thursday everyone in the valley knew about the race.
I had no idea how many people might come to watch. I didn't know for sure how the farmers and ranchers would respond to a publicity stunt like this, but I had a good feeling about the whole thing. Besides, it was not a publicity stunt. It was an honest and courageous way to settle a legitimate difference. If I had not challenged Darrell to the race, he might not have signed the papers. Nothing was faked. It felt right, win or lose. After the race things would be different between me and those farmers and ranchers who wouldn't even talk to me about their car and truck purchases.
I was pretty sure I would lose, but I told myself it didn't matter. The important thing was letting everyone know that this city slicker was willing to have a horse race to settle a dispute over a new truck. I hoped they would no longer think of me as a city slicker but someone who belonged in rural Montana.
Since the ads described me as a city slicker, when I headed down to the fairgrounds Thursday evening I dressed the part—white shirt, suit and tie, and polished church shoes. Nobody in the Bitterroot dressed that way unless they were going to church or a funeral.
Darrel showed up, smug and confident, his horse saddled and ready to go. He was wearing a big white John Wayne cowboy hat.
I chose as the course for the race the straightaway in front of the grandstands. We would start at the north end and run to the middle of the grandstand, a distance of nearly four hundred yards. Since there was no starting gate, we would ride to the end of the straightaway, turn around, and start back toward the grandstand. I had arranged for a mounted cowboy with a loaded Colt .45 to ride behind us. When it looked to him like we were even, he would fire his gun to start the race. This kind of start, I later learned, was called lap and tap.
As I was explaining all this to Darrel, I noticed that the grandstand was filling up. Hundreds of people were coming to watch, including newspaper reporters and photographers. One was from The Missoulian, the largest newspaper in western Montana, fifty miles to the north.
I was beginning to think I had made a terrible mistake. What if my horse started bucking? She had never raced before. What if I fell off, looking like a true city slicker in front of all these people? My palms were sweating.
Slowly, Darrel and I rode to the end of the straightaway. The old cowboy rode with us, slipping a slug into the cylinder of his gun. We turned and started walking real slow toward the grandstand. The gun went off.
Grabbing the saddle horn with my free hand, I leaned forward and rammed both heels into the little mare's ribs. In a second we were running full speed. My suit coat was flapping in the breeze. My necktie was a red streamer over my right shoulder.
I couldn't see Darrel. I worried that he was holding back, waiting to pass me just ahead of the finish line. I hoped he was struggling to keep up. It seemed like Sundance was running really fast. I loved the sound of the hoofbeats.
The race was over almost before it began. I beat him by three or four lengths. I was so proud of that little horse. I was glad I hadn't fallen off. The reporters were asking questions and photographers were taking pictures as Darrel handed me a check for fifty dollars to complete our transaction. Our picture appeared on the front page of the Sunday Missoulian.
My good feelings had led me right. Farmers and ranchers wanted to meet the city slicker who defeated Darrel Cozad in a horse race. They brought in their old Chevys and Fords to see what kind of deal I would make them on a new Dodge. I sold eighty-three new Dodge trucks that year, compared to sixteen the year before. I believed if I had spent a million dollars in advertising I could not have accomplished as much.
What a joy to read about Lee Nelson's early days as the new city-slicker owner of a Dodge agency in the Bitterroot Valley. My parents, Harry and Florence Mellott, were the former owners of the agency, and enjoying their retirement when Lee and Syd Smith were building their business in Hamilton. I don't know how much Lee knew about my dad, the oldest son of Irish immigrants, who had to quit school in 6th grade in Butte when his miner father died, leaving a widow and eight children. The family moved to a homestead at Waterloo, near Whitehall, and my dad worked at neighboring ranches while his mother and siblings worked the homestead. My parents met at a country dance near the one-room school where my mother taught. They helped at the homestead for a few years and then moved to Butte, where Harry became an auto mechanic and auto-body repair man. In 1945, Harry and Florence moved to Hamilton with their three daughters, and founded Mellott Motors. I was Harry's shadow, spending lots of time in the "shop" on weekends, and joining him fishing and hunting pheasants. I was always very proud of him. He died much too young at 72, and it is a huge regret for me that my children grew up barely knowing him.
Barbara, I remember Harry, big and strong, and so savvy in the car and truck business, showing me the ropes when I knew so little. And Florence, so tiny, always kind and friendly. I still have the oak stool that was in front of the parts counter. The grandchildren love to spin around on the seat.
I remember you from Hamilton and I was one of your seminary students.. You sponsored chariot races too didn't you?
Yes, I sponsored chariot races. That's where I learned to drive teams. Here is Utah I drive a chuck wagon and carriage in two or three parades every summer. It was hard moving away from the Bitter Root Valley, but we still drive through there every year or two on our way to visit a daughter in Spokane. I have fond memories of the seminary class too.

At Ignite, Microsoft Spells Out Plans for a Mobile-First, Cloud-First Future
AI bots and virtualized environments lead the way with new features for Windows 10, Office 365 and Azure.
By Laura Sikora
When Satya Nadella assumed the top job at Microsoft a couple of years back, he laid out a simple vision in a memo to employees: "Our job is to ensure that Microsoft thrives in a mobile- and cloud-first world."
Last week at Microsoft Ignite in Atlanta, Nadella and other Microsoft executives detailed how the company plans to build on that mobile-first, cloud-first vision. A key element of the strategy is to infuse artificial intelligence into everything the company does — every product and service — from the Cortana digital assistant at the heart of Windows 10 to the Azure cloud platform, and from Office 365 to its other productivity tools and more.
Adding AI to Everywhere
Nadella made it clear that Microsoft wants to use AI not just for gee-whiz novelty projects but to help businesses and users be productive.
"It's never about our technology. It is really, to me, about your passion, your imagination, and what you can do with technologies that we create," he said during a keynote presentation at the conference.
"What societal problem, what industry will you reshape? That is what we dream about, what we're passionate about," he said. "We want to pursue democratizing AI just like we pursued information at your fingertips. But this time around, we want to bring intelligence to everything, to everywhere, and for everyone."
At Ignite, Microsoft previewed new skills for Cortana, including health insights and reminders, and the ability to connect Cortana to bots that can help users in industries such as transportation, social media and financial services. Microsoft has touted the Cortana Intelligence Suite as a tool that can leverage Big Data and machine learning to give users sharper insights into making better predictions based on data.
As for Office 365, it's getting new cloud-based intelligent capabilities, including "Tap," an intelligent embedding feature in both Word and Outlook. Tap will use the Microsoft Graph to make it easier to incorporate content from existing documents within an organization into a user's own documents and emails.
Another new feature, QuickStarter for PowerPoint and Sway, provides curated outlines for any topic (including text and images) that can be used as a starting point to build presentations. And MyAnalytics (formerly Delve Analytics) will serve as a personal analytics service in Office 365 to help users understand how they spend time at work.
Microsoft seems laser-focused in achieving these AI pursuits to make work easier by making it smarter, thus freeing up a user's time to focus less on the nitty-gritty of productivity apps and more on the big picture and business outcomes.
More Cloud Goodies to Come
The release this month of Windows Server 2016 was another hot topic at Ignite. The operating system will offer IT professionals new layers of security and Azure-inspired innovation for infrastructure and cloud applications.
Windows Server 2016 introduces security to harden the platform and address emerging threats, to control privileged access and to protect virtual machines. The new operating system also offers users more capabilities for managing software-defined storage environments. Additionally, it will bring the main networking capabilities and software-defined networking architecture from Azure into the data center.
In other cloud-related news, Microsoft revealed that System Center 2016 will be generally available this month as well. The new offering will provide a simplified hybrid management solution across the data center and the cloud. With the System Center update, Microsoft aims to ease the deployment and management of virtualized, software-defined data center and hybrid cloud infrastructures running on Windows Server 2016.
For users both small and big, the news at Ignite seems pretty exciting as new products begin to weave together the many Microsoft tools that businesses have deployed deep into their environments. Now, we'll need to plot ways to act on, and take advantage of, all these intelligent products!
For a more in-depth look under the hood at Windows Server 2016, read this post from one of our field architects, Drew Shanahan.

Romania returns to the European Championship for the first time in eight years this summer after having missed out on the 2012 tournament. It is the country's fifth entry into the tournament with their best effort coming in the 2000 tournament when they reached the quarter-final stage. The highlight of that run came in a 3-2 victory over England with a late penalty clinching the match, although it was Italy who ended their adventure in the quarter-final. Romania hasn't competed in an international tournament since 2008 and will hope to mark their return in France with progression into the knockout phase.
Fiorentina's extremely domineering presence in goal is likely to be the key man this summer. Standing at 1.98 metres tall, Tatarusanu is adept at dealing with aerial challenges as well as proving himself to be rather agile for somewhat of his stature. He proved himself in the qualifying process with Romania conceding just two goals with him involved.
Iordanescu guided Romania to the quarter-finals of the 1994 World Cup and has since returned to try and bring such success back to the nation's footballing setup once more. After a spell in Saudi Arabia, the veteran coach has returned to put his excellent defensive methods back into place once again with his team having the best defensive statistics in the entire qualification process.


Practitioners have been reminded that the net medical expenses tax offset is being phased out. To be eligible for this offset for the 2014/15 financial year, a client must have received an amount of the tax offset in both of their 2012/13 and 2013/14 income tax assessments.
This eligibility rule does not apply to clients with out-of-pocket medical expenses relating to disability aids, attendant care an aged care. These expenses can continue to be claimed until 30 June 2019 under the same label.
If a client's 2012/13 notice of assessment issued by the ATO shows an amount of zero under the net medical expenses tax offset, they would not have been eligible to receive this offset in the 2013/14 financial year, and will not be eligible for the 2014/15 year either.

Q: PHP or jquery code to add an object photo to another object photo? Let`s say I have a car in a photo. It is a stock car.
I have some upgrade options:
-Tuning bumper
-Tuning wheels
-Nitro
-Body paint red
-...
It is possible by code (PHP or a Jquery library) to add to the stock car photo some elements I select from the list? Let`s say I choose body paint red. The car in the photo should change to red or if I select tuning wheels, only the wheels to change.
Like in HERE.

A: You could use images over images to "modify" original stock car photo. Let's say your photos are 400x400, you could show photos one over another like this:

*

*Car stock photo

*Tuning wheels (fits the position of the car wheels in the previous photo and have transparent background)

*Body painted red (a photo of only the body of the car, but painted red and transparent background)

You can compose the photos in one using Canvas (for Javascript) or using the GD Library (for PHP).

LONDON, Nov 5 (Reuters) - World stocks slipped on Monday, halting a four-day recovery rally as anxiety surrounding global trade conditions and rising U.S. interest rates dampened risk appetite.
MSCI's all-country world index stayed down 0.2 percent though as investors remained cautious.
"The market hasn't been paying as close attention as they might normally because they've been a bit distracted by the spectre of a trade war. But the policy response out of China has been massive," said Gregory Perdon, co-chief investment officer at Arbuthnot Latham.
"This ...has slowed growth and raised risks around the world," they wrote.

The House of JournalistsBy Tim FinchA debut novel about oppressed journalists who live together in London
There's no lack of repressive regimes that will persecute, muffle, torture and kill journalists who shine a light where malignant leaders would prefer darkness. What if such journalists could seek asylum in a centralized placed? Not a country, but a house in London, where the exigencies of living together creates its own brand of tension? That's the terrifically engaging conceit from Finch, a debut novelist who once served as political journalist for the BBC and now works for the Institute for Public Policy Research. He knows the true stories of writers in exile, and in this Kafkaesque tale he imagines the effects of bringing 30 such people together to share their harrowing stories and to attempt to peacefully co-exist—and to perhaps live less honorably as a collective than they did on their own. The narrative shifts throughout as we learn the backstories of respective house guests, including the disfigured Mr. Stan, the editor of a newspaper on a small island in the Indian Ocean, whose shining physical feature, his hands, were mashed into "bloody mush stumps" because "he became a fearless critic of the repressive regime"; Mustapha, who had to leave his family behind in his abandoned home country; and AA, who shies away from telling his backstory and draws the suspicion of Julian, the founder of the house who's growing increasingly paranoid. What's to become of these exiles? Finch's novel is a timely exploration of what happens to scribes who run afoul of the powers that be.
At the Bottom of EverythingBy Ben DolnickA terrible secret shatters a friendship and spurs spiritual longing
An unlikely friendship develops between the uptight, brilliant Thomas and the easygoing Adam, who says of his friend, "People liked him but there was something impersonal about their feelings; he was, especially as middle school went on, like the school's prize oak tree." Kids respect Thomas, but he is socially awkward. Adam takes a perverse pride in befriending the wicked smart kid ("I liked being the kid who'd cracked Thomas Pell"), which isn't the only time that Dolnick, the author of You Know Who You Are and Zoology, conjures the memory of familiar movies and books like Lucas and A Separate Peace. Adam has no use for his mother and step father ("My family was like the cardboard Apollo astronauts outside Blockbuster—you could sweep them aside, fold them into the Dumpster, without thinking about it"), which sounds like something a sociopath might say. Adam finds a home away from home with Thomas and his doting, sophisticated parents, Richard and Sally, who says to Adam, "pretty soon we're going to get so we're just going to fill out adoption papers for you." The dissolution of the friendship between the two boys seems inevitable, but instead of using a predictable trope Dolnick obliterates their bond in a late-night joy ride that ends with a 22-year-old girl's death. Given his willingness to pitch his parents in the Dumpster outside the local video store, it shouldn't come as a surprise that Adam is relatively unfazed by the tragedy. Thomas, on the other hand, becomes unhinged and eventually heads to India and disappears. His parents implore Adam to go there and find his former friend, a spiritual journey that makes the second half of the novel feel rather forced.
My Brother My SisterBy Molly HaskellA feminist film critic grapples with her brother's sex change operation
People of a certain age have all had to deal with their share of traumatic, transformative life events, such as the death of loved ones, the dissolution of a marriage, and unemployment. In the grand scheme of things, these are rather normative transformations; certainly in comparison with your 60-year-old brother, who is married with children, telling you he wants to get a sex change operation and live as a woman. This is outside the norm yet equally ground-shaking, as Haskell, the well-known feminist literary film critic, explains in recounting the decision of her brother, Chevey (pronounced "Chivvy") to have gender reassignment surgery and became known as "Ellen." The consequences are far-reaching—some of them predictable (his wife is ashamed and aghast) to surprising (his first wife supports the decision and can't understand why others cannot). Haskell, who considers herself open-minded, can't easily accept her brother's choice. "I see it as a changing of identities, like someone on the lam, or going into the witness protection program. He sees it, quite the reverse, as someone who's been living as a fake, who's already done time in the witness protection program and can finally come clean, walk out the door, and face the light of day as his, or rather her, true self." That's what her brother wants—to be at one with himself (or herself, that is). Those close to him can either change their thinking or get left behind.
Remember How I Told You I Loved You?By Gillian LindenSeven interconnected, angst-filled short stories in this sparkling debut collection
For anyone who's survived into their early 30s, there's a recognizable angst pervading this debut collection of seven interconnected stories from Linden. Her examinations of fear and anxiety—about present and past relationships, jobs, the future—are engagingly subtle, the title of the collection representative of what's suggested in these stories, yet seldom spelled out. Karen, the primary focus of most of these tales, is saddled with self-doubt and seems to fall into relationships more out of boredom and convenience than genuine interest. "At the end of winter she is in a relationship with a guy who wears a suede fedora. When they first meet, she isn't drawn to him. The hat seems like a costume—his personality must be thin. As they spend time together, her perspective shifts." When she's older, a friend sets her up with a guy who is handsome but not much for conversation. "What would it be like to date him, a man of few words?" They seem to have very little in common, and she's quickly lying to him about mundane matters; for example, she tells him she likes to ride bikes, though she hasn't ridden one since she was eight. The friend who set them up assures her, "Everyone lies at first. Everyone does." Is this true? I don't know, but it's the sort of comment that Linden's memorable characters consistently make—observations that make you question yourself and the people who've populated your life.
Junipero Serra: California's Founding FatherBy Steven W. HackelThe man who made the Golden State.
Junípero Serra died less than a decade into the existence of the United States as a nation, entirely ignorant of his eventual legacy as one of the pivotal—and controversial—figures in the history of the then far-away country. When the borders of the United States expanded west, however, they incorporated the land that Serra's missionary expeditions had settled, for the first time, a hundred years before: California. In his new biography of the Spanish-born Franciscan monk, Junipero Serra: California's Founding Father, author Steven W. Hackel examines Serra's contradictory legacy. The monk who was beatified by the Catholic Church and set in bronze at the Capitol Building has, in recent years, been recast as an agent of unwelcome colonialism. By exploring the political and religious climate of the eighteenth century, Hackel offers a more complex view of the divisive Junípero Serra. His large-scale Apostolic work laid the foundation for modern California—particularly his introduction of Western agricultural techniques to the region—and was practiced with the humility and piety typical of the Franciscan order. However, for the converted, Catholicism was a double-edged sword. Junípero Serra and his fellow missionaries brought to the Native Californians as much disease and death as they did salvation.

Q: SQL Query with join on non-unique Entries I have problems with two tables I need to join.
Table1

Order_id              Item_Revenue            Item_id
1                     30 €                    22222222
1                     20 €                    11111111
1                     10 €                    33333333
2                     5 €                     55555555

Table2

package_id           Order_id                 shipping_costs
456                  1                        1 €
567                  1                        2 €
789                  1                        3 €
999                  2                        2 €

The Output I need: I want to show the Item Revenue and the Shipping costs per Order_Id
Order_ID          count(item_id)      sum(item_revenue)  sum(shipping_costs)
1                 3                   60 €                6 €
2                 1                   5 €                 2 €

My first try was:
Select
sum(t1.item_revenue),
count(t1.item_id),
sum(t2.shipping_costs),
from table1 t1
left join table2 t2 on t1.order_id = t2.order_id
group by t1.order_id

But it does not work because order_id is not unique.
Please look at my example:
I would be so lucky if somebody could help me.

A: I think you need inner join
    Select order_id,count( distinct item_id),
    sum(item_revenue),
    sum(shipping_costs)
    from table1
    join table2 on table1.order_id = table2.order_id
    group by order_id

A: Your problem with alias and missing commas.
in the GROUP BY you used "order_id" but you need to define the field related with Table1 or Table2.
Also, for alias. Don't start with number like 1,2. you can get error message.
EDIT (Table2 in SubQuery):
Select
    T1.order_id
    ,count(1) ItemCount
    ,sum(item_revenue) ItemRevenue
    ,sum(shipping_costs) ShippingCost
from table1 T1
INNER join (SELECT Order_id
                  ,SUM(shipping_costs) shipping_costs
            FROM Table2
            GROUP BY Order_id) T2 on T1.order_id = T2.order_id
group by T1.order_id

A: I hope this helps and assuming you are using Oracle SQL
select table1.Order_id
sum(table1.item_revenue)
count(table1.item_id)
sum(table2.shipping_costs)
from
(
  select Order_id,Item_Revenue,Item_id, row_number() over (partition by Order_id order by Item_id) as man_id
  from table 1
)
table1
left join
(
  select package_id,Order_id,shipping_costs, row_number() over (partition by Order_id order by package_id) as man_id
  from table 2
)
table2
on table1.order_id = table2.order_id
and table1.man_id = table2.man_id
group by table1.order_id

A: select order_id , count(item_id), sum(item_revenue) , sum(shipping_costs)

from table1, table2
where table1.orderid=table2.order_id
group by order_id

A: Summarize the two tables before joining.  Then join using a full join so you get all orders in both tables:
select coalesce(t1.order_id, t2.order_id) as order_id,  -- include the order_id
       t1_revenue, t1_count,
       shipping_costs
from (select t1.order_id, sum(t1.item_revenue) as t1_revenue, count(*) as t1_count
      from table1 t1
      group by t1.order_id
     ) t1 full join
     (select t2.order_id, t2.shipping_costs as shipping_costs
      from table2 t2
      group by t2.order_id
     ) t2
     on t1.order_id = t2.order_id;

If your database doesn't support full join, then use left join.  Presumably, orders in table2 are also in table1.

Q: JavaScript: How prevent dblclick (Double Click) to also fire a single click event I want avoid that double click also fire a single click event.
A simple solution i found is to delay the click with a timer and destroy the timer if a double click is fired.

var pendingClick;

function myclick(){
   clearTimeout(pendingClick);
   pendingClick = setTimeout(function(){
      console.log('click');
   }, 500);
}

function mydblclick(){
  clearTimeout(pendingClick);
  console.log('double click');
}

Double Click Me!

But this solution is based on timing, if the double click is too slow (>500ms) it also fire a single click.
There is a stable solution for handle both click and double click?

A: Double-clicking in itself is "based on timing", even in the standard implementation of dblclick / ondblclick. There will always be the issue of a single-click being fired if the double-click is "too slow". What is "too slow"? 300ms? 500ms? 1000ms? Your double-clicks may be only 50ms apart, while my mom's double-clicks are 1-2 seconds apart...

A: Only work with the 'onclick' function to check if it was one or two clicks and use a variable to count the number of clicks in a given time interval.
Example:

var pendingClick;
var clicked = 0;
var time_dbclick = 500 // 500ms

function myclick(){
  clicked++;
   if(clicked >= 2){
     mydblclick()
     clearTimeout(pendingClick)
     clicked = 0;
     return;
   }
   clearTimeout(pendingClick)
   pendingClick = setTimeout(() => {
     console.log('One click!')
     clicked = 0;
   }, time_dbclick);
}

function mydblclick(){
  console.log('double click');
}

Double Click Me!

A: You can get the event and cancel it with the addEventListener like this:

document.addEventListener('dblclick', (event) => {
    event.preventDefault();
    event.stopPropagation();
}, true); // With this true, you are cancelling the dblclick event

let pendingClick;

function myclick(){
    clearTimeout(pendingClick);
    pendingClick = setTimeout(function (){
        console.log('click');
    }, 500);
}

function mydblclick(){
    clearTimeout(pendingClick);
    console.log('double click');
}

Double Click Me!

A: Custom Events instead of inline event handlers
If one prefers to use .addEventListener and .removeEventListener instead of HTML inline-eventhandlers, I would suggest another approach based on Custom Events. That means one would not make use of the standard implementation of "click" and "dblclick", but create own event handling for both:
let lastLeftClick = document.dispatchEvent(new Event("click"));
let doubleclickLength = 300;

function leftClickHandler (e) {
  if (e.button != 0) return; // only left clicks shall be handled;

  let delaySinceLastClick = e.timeStamp - lastLeftClick.timeStamp;
  let eIsDoubleClick = delaySinceLastClick < doubleclickLength;

  if (eIsDoubleClick) {
    let doubleclickEvt = new CustomEvent("doubleclick", e);
    lastLeftClick = lastLeftClick = doubleclickEvt;
    document.dispatchEvent(doubleclickEvt);
  } else {
    let singleClickEvt = new CustomEvent("singleclick", e);
    lastLeftClick = singleClickEvt;
    document.dispatchEvent(lastLeftClick);
  }
}

// adding above click event implementation:
document.addEventListener("click", leftClickHandler);

using the new custom events:
document.addEventListener("singleclick", e=>console.log("single click"));
document.addEventListener("doubleclick", e=>console.log("double click"));


On Saturday, 5th November 2017 I watched my first Union game. In sixty years of watching football live I have never experienced anything remotely like it, and that includes witnessing Liverpool's Kop.
Although I missed what fans have described as Nottingham Forest's best performance in ten years in their 4-0 victory over QPR, I have absolutely no regrets: I would not have missed it for the world. I am still overwhelmed by the contrasts.
Walking to the ground through the woods with fans legally drinking beer; the delight of standing on the terrace and thus being able to choose your spot. Above all the incredible orchestrated chanting and singing for the full 92 minutes. Such a wide range of chants and songs rather than the so limited repertoire back home. No question either of 'only singing when we're winning' or even when on top or playing well; the constant chorus bore no relation to what was going on on the field.
Thus no audible groans when there were misplaced passes (and, to be fair, there were plenty of those) and no let up when there was no action on the pitch. All in all, a very relaxed atmosphere with no perceptible hostility towards the St. Pauli fans but what a change in the 92nd minute when Union scored to make it a (not totally deserved) 1-0 victory.
All hell broke loose with jumping, cheering, hugs and 'high fives' with strangers and half full plastic beer mugs being thrown in the air. Wonderful! Wonderful! Wonderful!
Thanks to David Barton for the report! My first time is a feature series on our website. If you want to write about your first Union match, contact us via our Union in Englisch facebook page or twitter. Check out our St. Pauli match report and more pics here.

Many people exercise for the benefits it has for their body and heart. But what they may not realise is that physical activity also has a significant positive impact on their brain health.
Why should we be concerned about our brain health, you ask?
It is estimated that more than 320,000 Australians are living with dementia in 2013. Without a significant medical breakthrough, that is expected to increase to around 900,000 by 2050. There's currently no cure for dementia and we're all at risk of getting it, but there is hope.
A paper recently launched by Alzheimer's Australia in partnership with Fitness Australia titled, 'Physical Activity for Brain Health and Fighting Dementia' showed that around 13% of Alzheimer's disease cases worldwide were attributable to physical inactivity. The paper also found that if a quarter of inactive people became physically active, it could prevent nearly one million cases of Alzheimer's disease worldwide. Such a simple solution can have such a huge benefit.
But how does physical activity actually improve the health and function of your brain? Well, the latest local and international research, summarised in the paper, shows physical exercise increases blood flow to the brain and stimulates the growth of brain cells and connections between them. People who are regularly active on average have healthier brains, better memory, and more efficient planning and other thinking skills—this all impacts on your ability to lower the risk of developing dementia.
Although there's no formula to calculate the amount of exercise that is optimum for brain health and function, or for lowering dementia risk, many forms of physical activity are beneficial for brain health. This could include going to the gym, playing a team sport, as well as other activities that involve bodily movement and are done as part of playing, working, transport, household chores and leisure activities.
"We can't yet cure dementia but we can reduce our risk by simply becoming more physically active, this can be as easy as going for a regular walk or participating in a structured activity," said Lauretta Stace, CEO at Fitness Australia.
Article provided by Alzheimer's Australia Alzheimer's Australia is the charity for people with dementia and their families and carers. As the peak body, it provides advocacy, support services, education and information. More than 320,000 people have dementia in Australia. This number is projected to reach more than half a million by 2030.

This is a low-cost textbook available from FlatWorld Knowledge for introducing microeconomics. The authors have written both a microeconomics and macroeconomics textbook and use integrating themes to present economics so that students realize that it is a unified discipline and not an array of seemingly unrelated topics. The integrating theme for microeconomics is the marginal decision rule, a simple approach to choices that maximize the value of some objective. Following its presentation in an early microeconomics chapter, the marginal decision rule becomes an integrating device throughout the discussion of microeconomics. Instead of a hodgepodge of rules for different market conditions, they give a single rule that can be applied within any market setting.
Additional instructional aides are available for purchase by students. Ancillaries for faculty are available free.

As said, I rewrite the viewDidLayoutSubview method but only get the self.view's final bounds, the subview are using auto layout to positioning. So is there a way to get the subviews final bounds. and for some reason better not to subclass the view itself.
- (void)viewDidLayoutSubviews
{
    [super viewDidLayoutSubviews];
}

A: Try to get bounds in that method:

Q: Multi-line string on converting to dictionary has \r\n appended to key in dictionary, how to strip \r\n? Below is the code used to convert multi-line string to dictionary.
data = []
header = "Header: JAVA\
          Length: 0xa\
          Revision: 0x0"
for value in header.split(', '):
    if ':' in value:
        data.append(map(str.strip, value.split(':', 1)))

Getting output as : {Header: JAVA \r\nLength: 0xa \r\nRevision: 0x0 ....}
How to strip of these \r\n and get output like {Header: JAVA Length: 0xa Revision: 0x0 ....}

A: I see that you initialized data as a list whereas your output has {} which is a dict. Therefore I have changed your data from a list to a dict. Also, you should be splitting from "\n" instead of ",". Below is my solution:
data = {}
header = "Header: JAVA\r\nLength: 0xa\r\nRevision: 0x0"
for line in header.split("\n"):
    if len(line) > 0 and len(line.split(":")) > 1:
        key, value = line.split(":")
        key = key.strip()
        value = value.strip()
        data[key] = value

print(data) # for visualization

Here is the output:
$ python test.py
{'Header': 'JAVA', 'Length': '0xa', 'Revision': '0x0'}

A: Using splitlines and re.split you can simplify this, especially when combined with a list comprehension.
header = """Header: JAVA
          Length: 0xa
          Revision: 0x0"""

data = [[part.strip() for part in re.split(r'\s*\:\s*', line, 1)]
          for line in header.splitlines()
          if ':' in line]

Saving our next generation
By James Wilmott
Melanoma is the most prevalent cancer in 20-34 year olds. And traditional treatments like, chemotherapy and radiotherapy, can cause longterm damage to growing bodies.
Postdoctoral Fellow, Dr James Wilmott is hoping to help by searching for early-detection genetic markers and treatment options that are specific to this age group.
"New drugs that target genetic mutations specific to a patient's melanoma look extremely promising. But young patients have been largely overlooked in this kind of research. This study will address that gap by characterising all the gene mutations in blood and melanomas from young people with melanoma."
Dr James Wilmott
The study is the first of its kind in the world. Data benefitting a range of research groups will be made available in Australia and abroad, bringing together pathologists, oncologists, surgeons, epidemiologists, computational biologists and researchers to focus on youth melanoma.
The goal is to identify the best genes for new drugs to target and uncover genetic mutations that predispose young patients to melanoma. It's a unique and inventive way to detect melanoma in young people. And it will have the side benefit of helping them understand the benefits of sun safe behaviour and regular skin checks to reduce their risk of melanoma.
The data generated by the project will ensure that young melanoma patients are not left behind in innovations in personalised medicine, making a real difference to people in the prime of their lives.

I love unplanned breakfast dates.
C and I got lucky because her daughter has dance practice until 2pm today (no need to rush back during lunchtime). So after dropping the kids off to school, we were on our way to the south. And lucky again because there's no traffic.
This is the view that greeted us while we were waiting for our breakfast (Bag of Beans, near Tagaytay Rotonda). Such a foggy day. The air was cold but we were armed with jackets and shawls. Not-gonna-freeze-today-not-like-the-last-time!
The view and air was so relaxing. I think I can stare at the lake the whole day. And maybe write some stories or poems. Or simply daydream while sipping a cup of hot cocoa.
Hot Chocolate. Two thumbs up! Perfect.
Omelette and Sausage. Not bad, according to C.
Longganisa Meal. The egg and fried rice tastes good. I can't say the same for the longganisa. Something's off or lacking with the taste. They even claimed it's homemade.
Pink Sisters. It was so quiet- serene and peaceful when we arrived at the church. Maybe because it is a weekday that's why there's only a handful of church visitors.

"Mirror, Mirror, on the wall…."
Item #: SCP-###
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-### is to be put into a sealed vault in Site ██, with access restricted unless authorized by level 3 personnel only. A cover of any type of soft fabric should be draped over SCP-### to cover reflective surface. All experiments should be conducted on D-class personnel and authorized fauna. Should any Foundation personnel be affected by SCP-###, immediate surgery should be administered to the personnel to eliminate vision. Affected personnel should also be put though psychological therapy till the affects of SCP-### are mitigated. Class-D personnel who are affected by SCP-### should be terminated upon completion of all experiments.
Description: SCP-###is a Victorian-era ellipsoid mirror, 2 meters at its highest point and and 1 meter at its widest. The mirror is lined by a gold frame with a sculpture of a witch and a princess at the top of the frame. A crack runs down the reflective glass and splits in two half way down the mirror.
SCP-### was discovered by Agent █████ near Portsmouth, England. Agent █████ heard reports of "strange" events happening around a newly vacated mansion in the area. Upon investigation of manor, found that every mirror in the manor was shattered. Upon discovery of SCP-###. Agent █████ was immediately affected by it.
When a person looks into the reflective surface of SCP-### what they see is a deformed version of their head. Victims of SCP-### described their appearance as "grotesque" and "disgusting". When asked to elaborate on appearance, the infected persons that were willing to describe more in detail told researchers that most of their hair on their head was gone, replaced by massive boils that were oozing puss. Their faces were unrecognizable, with the nose swollen and broken, as well as cheeks, neck and lips also having boils and cysts. However, to any observer of the affected person, they look the same. No changes in any facial features are seen. After a person has viewed themselves in SCP-###, they will continue to see this "grotesque" appearance in any other reflective surface, i.e plain mirror, pool of water, reflective metals. This affect also carries on to other sensory organs, such as feel and smell. Psychological effects are yet unknown to be caused by SCP-### or are just bi-products of the "reflection".
The effects of SCP-### are only created when a person looks at the reflective surface with their face or head visible. Experiments have shown that if a person views another person in the mirror the effects are null, nor can they view the effects of SCP-### if the other person is infected. Likewise is the result if a person views any part of their body below the neck.
Most personnel affected by SCP-### go into a fit of extreme rage or sadness when first exposed to SCP-### and these symptoms are worsened when exposed to another form of reflective surface, presumably caused by denial of effects until verified by other reflective surface. All affected personnel will avoid being seen by others at all cost. A majority of infected will try to commit suicide within a month of exposure unless intensive psychological therapy is administered. Most infected will also try to slice their face with a sharp object or claw their face if a sharp object is not within reach.

Bat Chandelier – Decorating your room with a Gothic style or theme does not necessarily mean that everything must be black. There are different versions and elements of the Gothic style. That is not limited to teenagers who have emotional white pasty faces with black nail polish, hair dye, and clothes or the creepy Addams family. Decorate your room with a Gothic style that you can embrace and enjoy.
Black is usually the most common color in Gothic decoration. However, other colors can improve or replace black. Use red, burgundy, dark purple, dark green, blue or chocolate brown. Metallic colors, such as silver or gold, can add interest and contrast with deeper and darker colors. Use colors that complement your Gothic style, if you like vampires, medieval times or general darkness.
Accessories and details are pulled from the boardroom to create the gothic atmosphere you're looking for. Hang gargoyles, antique mirrors or intricate candle sconces on the walls. Replace lighting fixtures with black or gold chandeliers worthy of your favorite vampire or horror movie. Lamps and chandeliers can include dark colored glass or statues of hands that hold the light source. Crosses, skulls, spiders, bats, and coffins are other forms that can be included in the work, pillows or small storage boxes throughout the room.

"This is just incredible, to see the reaction of the supporters. An experience I'll never forget." - Coventry City's Mark Robins
Laura Hunter
The Sky Blues are crowned Checkatrade Trophy champions at Wembley in front of a 74,000 strong crowd...
Despite City boss Mark Robins not overseeing any other round of the competition, the manager was delighted his side could lift the trophy in front of 45,000 of the club's fans.
Goals from academy products Gael Bigirimana and George Thomas sealed the win, and the manager has called the triumph one of his career best.
He said: "It was phenomenal, one of the best experiences I've had to date, hopefully there is more to come. We've done really well, they are a good side.
"What a weekend Bigi has had, his wife was delivering their first child yesterday. The club should be very very proud of itself, a lot of players in our dressing room came through the academy and the young lads were outstanding.
"We've beaten a very good side today. Gael's energy was there for everyone to see, it was written, he's had a baby and scored a goal at Wembley.
"George was superb, as soon as he had his first touch, he's struck it beautifully. You knew then, the supporters knew. The noise levels in the stadium were phenomenal. A first class experience."
The manager has suggested that while the club will enjoy the occasion today, they turn their attention back to the league campaign on Wednesday, with a trip to Sheffield United.
He finished by saying: "This is just incredible, to see the reaction of the supporters. An experience I'll never forget.
"Some great performances out there, we'll enjoy the night but not to excess. Then refocus for Wednesday. I knew it was special, it was something else, and the people of Coventry were outstanding.
"As long as we've got hope, and players with hearts that big we've got half a chance. We go to Bramall Lane with confidence."

Exploring ecologically sustainable thinking
By Chet Bowers
When I wrote The Culture of Denial (1997) most university faculty were in denial that the ecological crisis has any implications that might lead them to question whether the deep cultural assumptions and silences reinforced in their courses contribute to ecologically sustainable lifestyles. The exceptions were faculty in the sciences, and the occasional faculty member who focused on environmental issues from a disciplinary perspective.
Now most departments in universities have several faculty members who are addressing the connections between various cultural practices and the ecological crisis. However, the same patterns persist -— with environmental issues being framed by the conceptual traditions of the discipline. That is, the philosophy and English professors introduce students to environmental writers and eco-criticism, history professors assign readings by environmental historians, professors in architecture and urban planning introduce systems thinking, the word "sustainability" now appears more often in business courses, and science professors, while encouraging students to understand the micro and macro levels of the Earth's ecosystems, continue to hold to the idea that they are not responsible for how political and economic forces turn their discoveries into surveillance systems that are putting us on the slippery slope of becoming a police state, and technologies that bring the production of food more under corporate control — to cite just two examples of denial.
The other significant change is the accelerated effort to reduce the carbon footprint of the campus infrastructure. Unfortunately, the late 20th century patterns of thinking acquired in graduate school continue to go unquestioned by most faculty. The result is that faculty who address environmental issues are still a minority in most departments. If students take an environmental course or two, the majority of their courses taken from faculty in the social sciences, humanities, and such professional schools as education will still reinforce many of the same deep cultural assumptions that gave conceptual direction and moral legitimacy to the individualistic/ consumer-dependent/ industrial culture that is ecologically unsustainable.
What will be missing in the education of most students is knowledge of how the language they take for granted, even when thinking about environmental issues, carries forward the misconceptions and silences of earlier eras lacking an awareness of environmental limits. Nor will the students graduate with a knowledge of how participating in the local cultural commons reduces their dependence upon consumerism. The knowledge of the technological and ideological forces enclosing what remains of the cultural and environmental will also be a missing part of their education.
One of the double-binds in the education of academics can be traced to the need to specialize within a niche area of their discipline in order to make an original scholarly contribution. This specialized area of inquiry reduces the ability to engage in substantive discussions of the ecologically problematic cultural issues that transcend the conceptual boundaries between disciplines. The penchant of academics to argue from entrenched conceptual positions, as well as their reliance on the tradition of academic freedom to justify their right to pursue what they assume is their cutting-edge conceptual agenda, have led to the failure to bring about fundamental reforms that cut across the disciplines.
In order to promote a discussion of the conceptual reforms that have implications for all academic disciplines as well as for public school teacher who reproduce the silences of their professors, the following conversations will be held from 9 to 10:30 am Saturdays over the next three months at the Many Nations Longhouse on campus:
• Nov. 5 — How the metaphorical nature of the language used in university and public school classes, as well as in the popular media, carries forward the misconceptions and silences of earlier eras when there was no awareness of environmental limits.
• Nov. 19 — The nature of educational reforms that contribute to revitalizing the less monetized traditions of self-sufficiency and mutual support within the local cultural commons, and to an awareness of the cultural forces that are integrating them into the market economy that continues to displace workers through outsourcing and computer-driven automaton.
• Dec. 3 — How computer-mediating learning carries forward the print-based traditions of cultural storage and communication that undermines the exercise of ecological intelligence and the culturally diverse cultural commons.
• Jan. 14 — The way forward in an era of political and ecological uncertainties: Learning to use our political language in a more historically accurate and ecologically accountable manner.
• Jan. 28 — Strategies for initiating 21st century ways of thinking within public schools and universities.
