Emma Carstairs has learned that the love she shares with her parabatai, Julian Blackthorn, isn't just forbidden—it could destroy them both. She knows she should run from Julian. But how can she when the Blackthorns are threatened by enemies on all sides?
Their only hope is the Black Volume of the Dead, a spell book of terrible power. Everyone wants it. Only the Blackthorns can find it. Spurred on by a dark bargain with the Seelie Queen, Emma; her best friend, Cristina; and Mark and Julian Blackthorn journey into the Courts of Faerie, where glittering revels hide bloody danger and no promise can be trusted. Meanwhile, rising tension between Shadowhunters and Downworlders has produced the Cohort, an extremist group of Shadowhunters dedicated to registering Downworlders and "unsuitable" Nephilim. They'll do anything in their power to expose Julian's secrets and take the Los Angeles Institute for their own.
When Downworlders turn against the Clave, a new threat rises in the form of the Lord of Shadows—the Unseelie King, who sends his greatest warriors to slaughter those with Blackthorn blood and seize the Black Volume. As dangers close in, Julian devises a risky scheme that depends on the cooperation of an unpredictable enemy. But success may come with a price he and Emma cannot even imagine, one that will bring with it a reckoning of blood that could have repercussions for everyone and everything they hold dear.
Lady Midnight by Cassandra Clare
Title: Lady Midnight
Emma Carstairs is a warrior, a Shadowhunter, and the best in her generation. She lives for battle. Shoulder to shoulder with her parabatai, Julian Blackthorn, she patrols the streets of Los Angeles, where vampires party on the Sunset Strip, and faeries—the most powerful of supernatural creatures—teeter on the edge of open war with Shadowhunters. When the bodies of humans and faeries turn up murdered in the same way Emma's parents were when she was a child, an uneasy alliance is formed. This is Emma's chance for revenge—and Julian's chance to get back his brother Mark, who is being held prisoner by the faerie Courts. All Emma, Mark, and Julian have to do is solve the murders within two weeks…and before the murderer targets them.
Their search takes Emma from sea caves full of sorcery to a dark lottery where death is dispensed. And each clue she unravels uncovers more secrets. What has Julian been hiding from her all these years? Why does Shadowhunter Law forbid parabatai to fall in love? Who really killed her parents—and can she bear to know the truth?

But nothing comes without a price.
Someone is murdering Shadowhunters who used to be in Valentine's Circle, provoking tensions between Downworlders and Shadowhunters that could lead to a second bloody war. Clary's best friend, Simon, can't help her. His mother just found out that he's a vampire and now he's homeless. Everywhere he turns, someone wants him on their side - along with the power of the curse that's wrecking his life. And they're willing to do anything to get what they want. At the same time he's dating two beautiful, dangerous girls - neither of whom knows about the other one.

Title: Clockwork Prince
Series: The Infernal Devices #2
- Clockwork Angel (August 2010)
- Clockwork Prince (December 2011)
- Clockwork Princess (March 2013)
In the magical underworld of Victorian London, Tessa Gray has at last found safety with the Shadowhunters. But that safety proves fleeting when rogue forces in the Clave plot to see her protector, Charlotte, replaced as head of the Institute. If Charlotte loses her position, Tessa will be out on the street—and easy prey for the mysterious Magister, who wants to use Tessa's powers for his own dark ends.
With the help of the handsome, self-destructive Will and the fiercely devoted Jem, Tessa discovers that the Magister's war on the Shadowhunters is deeply personal. He blames them for a long-ago tragedy that shattered his life. To unravel the secrets of the past, the trio journeys from mist-shrouded Yorkshire to a manor house that holds untold horrors, from the slums of London to an enchanted ballroom where Tessa discovers that the truth of her parentage is more sinister than she had imagined. When they encounter a clockwork demon bearing a warning for Will, they realize that the Magister himself knows their every move—and that one of their own has betrayed them.
Tessa finds her heart drawn more and more to Jem, though her longing for Will, despite his dark moods, continues to unsettle her. But something is changing in Will—the wall he has built around himself is crumbling. Could finding the Magister free Will from his secrets and give Tessa the answers about who she is and what she was born to do?
As their dangerous search for the Magister and the truth leads the friends into peril, Tessa learns that when love and lies are mixed, they can corrupt even the purest heart.
Clockwork Angel by Cassandra Clare
Title: Clockwork Angel
Magic is dangerous—but love is more dangerous still.
When sixteen-year-old Tessa Gray crosses the ocean to find her brother, her destination is England, the time is the reign of Queen Victoria, and something terrifying is waiting for her in London's Downworld, where vampires, warlocks and other supernatural folk stalk the gaslit streets. Only the Shadowhunters, warriors dedicated to ridding the world of demons, keep order amidst the chaos.
Kidnapped by the mysterious Dark Sisters, members of a secret organization called The Pandemonium Club, Tessa soon learns that she herself is a Downworlder with a rare ability: the power to transform, at will, into another person. What's more, the Magister, the shadowy figure who runs the Club, will stop at nothing to claim Tessa's power for his own.
Friendless and hunted, Tessa takes refuge with the Shadowhunters of the London Institute, who swear to find her brother if she will use her power to help them. She soon finds herself fascinated by—and torn between—two best friends: James, whose fragile beauty hides a deadly secret, and blue-eyed Will, whose caustic wit and volatile moods keep everyone in his life at arm's length . . . everyone, that is, but Tessa. As their search draws them deep into the heart of an arcane plot that threatens to destroy the Shadowhunters, Tessa realizes that she may need to choose between saving her brother and helping her new friends save the world. . . . and that love may be the most dangerous magic of all.
City of Glass by Cassandra Clare
Title: City of Glass
To save her mother's life, Clary must travel to the City of Glass, the ancestral home of the Shadowhunters - never mind that entering the city without permission is against the Law, and breaking the Law could mean death. To make things worse, she learns that Jace does not want her there, and Simon has been thrown in prison by the Shadowhunters, who are deeply suspicious of a vampire who can withstand sunlight.
As Clary uncovers more about her family's past, she finds an ally in mysterious Shadowhunter Sebastian. With Valentine mustering the full force of his power to destroy all Shadowhunters forever, their only chance to defeat him is to fight alongside their eternal enemies. But can Downworlders and Shadowhunters put aside their hatred to work together? While Jace realizes exactly how much he's willing to risk for Clary, can she harness her newfound powers to help save the Glass City - whatever the cost?
City of Ashes by Cassandra Clare
Title: City of Ashes
Clary Fray just wishes that her life would go back to normal. But what's normal when you're a demon-slaying Shadowhunter, your mother is in a magically induced coma, and you can suddenly see Downworlders like werewolves, vampires, and faeries? If Clary left the world of the Shadowhunters behind, it would mean more time with her best friend, Simon, who's becoming more than a friend. But the Shadowhunting world isn't ready to let her go — especially her handsome, infuriating, newfound brother, Jace. And Clary's only chance to help her mother is to track down rogue Shadowhunter Valentine, who is probably insane, certainly evil — and also her father.
To complicate matters, someone in New York City is murdering Downworlder children. Is Valentine behind the killings — and if he is, what is he trying to do? When the second of the Mortal Instruments, the Soul-Sword, is stolen, the terrifying Inquisitor arrives to investigate and zooms right in on Jace. How can Clary stop Valentine if Jace is willing to betray everything he believes in to help their father?
City of Bones by Cassandra Clare
Title: City of Bones
When fifteen-year-old Clary Fray heads out to the Pandemonium Club in New York City, she hardly expects to witness a murder -- much less a murder committed by three teenagers covered with strange tattoos and brandishing bizarre weapons. Then the body disappears into thin air. It's hard to call the police when the murderers are invisible to everyone else and when there is nothing -- not even a smear of blood -- to show that a boy has died. Or was he a boy?
This is Clary's first meeting with the Shadowhunters, warriors dedicated to ridding the earth of demons. It's also her first encounter with Jace, a Shadowhunter who looks a little like an angel and acts a lot like a jerk. Within twenty-four hours Clary is pulled into Jace's world with a vengeance, when her mother disappears and Clary herself is attacked by a demon. But why would demons be interested in ordinary mundanes like Clary and her mother? And how did Clary suddenly get the Sight? The Shadowhunters would like to know. . . .

From: Dictionary of American Naval Fighting Ships, V. 5, 1970 (1979 reprint), p. 80.
A river in western Maine, emptying into the Androscoggin river.
Nezinscot, a converted steel tug was built by Neafie and Levy, Philadelphia, Pa.; purchased from Moran and Co. 25 March 1898; and commissioned at Key West, Fla., 2 April 1898, Boatswain J. J. Holden in command.
Serving with the North Atlantic Fleet during the Spanish-American War, operating out of Key West, Nezinscot remained in port following the end of hostilities until the middle of 1900 when she sailed first to Norfolk and then early in 1901 to the Navy Yard, Portsmouth, N.H. For the next eight and one half years, the tug operated out of Portsmouth, towing numerous ships, from battleship Missouri (BB-11) to the smallest auxiliary barge, and making brief voyages to New York Navy Yard, ports in Maine, and most frequently to Boston. While steaming to Boston, Nezinscot capsized and sank off Cape Ann, Mass. 11 August 1909.

2022 European edtech report: Smaller rounds and fewer deals, but more angel activity – TechCrunch
Posted on January 25, 2023 By No Comments on 2022 European edtech report: Smaller rounds and fewer deals, but more angel activity – TechCrunch

Despite creaky markets, European edtech is showing its resilience
European, North American edtech startups see funding triple in 2021
During the darkest days of the pandemic, money was no object in many developed markets.
Governments, public sector organizations and many private companies moved heaven and earth to ensure public safety and adequate supply of core services. Quite clearly, spending reached unsustainable levels.
But 2022 was the year when this "spending" slowed and was instead more widely rebranded and accepted as actually being "borrowing." This realization justified the beginning of deep cuts in public spending compared to before and during the pandemic.
Despite these cuts, which have been always slower to implement than communicate, inflation has been rampant across Europe and beyond, partially due to supply chain issues linked to the situation in Ukraine. Wages failing to rise in line with inflation as well as cuts to public services have led to a cost-of-living crisis in many markets.
These conditions are not conducive to inducing confidence for investors or founders. Edtech, and education more broadly, usually one of the more resistant sectors during times of economic crisis, has not been immune to the downturn.
Against this background, we formed our annual review of European edtech activity for 2022. For the first time since 2014, venture capital funding to European edtech startups saw a decline year-over-year, with startups raking in $1.8 billion in 2022 compared to $2.5 billion a year earlier.
The global ecosystem has been on an upward trajectory, albeit less consistently, but the declines in new investment in 2022 were steep: globally funding declined to $9.1 billion last year from $20.1 billion in 2021. This is in line with macro trends in the public markets as well as other tech sectors (both trends were highlighted in our October report with Dealroom).
Italy was the only European market to see a hike in both funding and the number of deals.
Perceived declines in funding are being felt more acutely, given that 2021 was a boom year. Optimism that the pandemic was coming to an end and that the world was reopening extended to ambitious founders and early teams. This momentum carried through to the first half of 2022 for European edtech. Indeed, as we reported in July, European edtech funding was up 40% in the first six months of last year compared to a year earlier.
But as we now know, that momentum faltered in the second half of 2022. Optimism ebbed away, and European edtech startups raised only about $400 million in the latter six months compared to $1.4 billion in the other half of the year.
That said, the sector proved more resilient in Europe than in other major regions. It's worth pointing out that the region saw more edtech deals happening in the second half than in the first half of 2022, but they were simply smaller and more early-stage rounds at lower valuations.
Europe fared well compared to the rest of the world, though: Edtech VC funding only declined 28% in Europe, compared to a 64% fall in the U.S., a 46% contraction in India, and a 32% decline in the rest of the world.
Funding fell the least in Europe and RoW, with the steepest drop once again in China

In Europe, we see the UK retaining the top spot in funding and deal activity. Edtech companies in the UK secured the most funding — $583 million across 81 deals, more than $200 million ahead of the next market, Germany, where startups raised $363 million across 34 deals.
France slipped from the podium as funding and deal activity fell sharply from previous years

Italy was one of only few European markets to see increased funding and deal number. Italy's tech ecosystem has been growing gradually as momentum has built relatively consistently since 2010. It's also promising to see the capital secured being spread across a range of sectors, with some of the largest rounds raised by companies in fintech, healthtech and real estate.
As for edtech, the market has been on a steep upwards trend since 2020. Though edtech in Italy had a record year in 2019, largely driven by the large round raised by Talent Garden, it's quite promising to see the upward trend in 2022 being driven by smaller, early-stage rounds of less than $15 million.

You're here: Home » DIY » Lawn & Garden » Lawn Care » When During the Year Should You Fertilize Your Lawn?
When to Fertilize a Lawn? — Determining the best time to fertilize a lawn depends on the grass itself, your climate, and the fertilizer you're using. Here's your guide to the ins and outs of lawn fertilization.
Knowing the best time to fertilize a lawn is just as important as which fertilizer you use. This go-to guide helps you determine how often you need to fertilizer and suggests a few top conventional and organic fertilizers.
Whether you're a first time homeowner or a seasoned mower looking for a healthier yard, knowing the best time to fertilize a lawn is one step to having the best-looking grass on the block.
If applying fertilizer once a year, do so in the fall.
Some techniques will instruct three "batches" across the fall (spaced a month apart) with a "boost" (or partial batch) again in the spring.
Try to apply your fertilizer on days when it is relatively cool (but not freezing, as it won't absorb into the ground properly).
NEVER apply fertilizer in the summer or any time that it's hot.
What Time of Day Is Best for Fertilizing a Lawn?
Lawn fertilization is not as finicky as water when it comes to the time of day that you apply it to your yard. While many people focused on yard health will swear by some application time or another, an essential aspect is that the grass is dry when you spread the fertilizer. This allows the lawn fertilizer to fall between the blades and down to the soil below.
If you fertilize in the morning, do so on a day when no dew is left. The afternoon is a good time as long as it's not yet too hot out. The evening is also acceptable because even if dew falls overnight, as long as the fertilizer goes down first, it should be fine.
Ringer Lawn Restore: This comes in the form of pellets, and contains all natural ingredients (primarily bone meal, soybean meal, and feather meal) and is designed to keep grass very thick and very green.
TerraCycle: This is one of the most well-known and popular brands of natural fertilizer. It's made, essentially, of the waste that worms pass through after digesting soil. This is what 'feeds' soil in nature, so it makes it a great fertilizer to enhance the health of your lawn.
Peace of Mind: The name of the product as well as its goal, this organic fertilizer is designed to be generous on nutrients, and contains a wealth of natural ingredients to help your lawn thrive.
There are even more conventional lawn fertilizers companies, with dozens, if not hundreds, of different fertilizers designed for different climates, grass types, and lawn preferences. While you'll need to pick a specific product based on your individual needs, some of the top brands to buy fertilizer from including Schultz, Scotts, Bonide, and Ace.
Each of these products will give specific instructions meant to be followed when you use their fertilizer, so base your decision regarding the best time to fertilize a lawn not just on the information listed here, but on the fertilizer instructions most of all.
1. What time of year do you fertilize your lawn?
2. What time of the year do you fertilize?
3. How often should you fertilize your lawn?
4. What fertilizer to use on lawn?
Lawn maintenance is more than just mowing, thatching and aerating.
These main nutrients are nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium and are symbolized on grass foods as N-P-K.
Soil tests are easy to use and will indicate which, if any, nutrient the area might be deficient in.
5. When should you overseed your lawn?
6. Can you over fertilize your lawn?
7. How soon can you fertilize new grass?
8. What fertilizer to use on a new lawn?
9. How often do you need to fertilize your lawn?
10. What happens if you put too much fertilizer on your lawn?
What nutrients are taken out of soil when people use too much fertilizer?
11. How long should you wait to seed after fertilizing?
12. How long should you wait to fertilize new grass?
Your Article is very informative. But the article would be better if season wise fertilization tips are added.


Last night I sat and watched our commission once again send the wrong message to the business world about our city. Once again we saw inaction where leadership was needed. Once again, we saw delay, rather than forward movement.
Our city commission recently appealed an item that was approved unanimously by the Planning and Zoning Board and staff, which would allow a business the opportunity to relocate from Boca Raton to Delray Beach as they desired. The business is Tradition Tattoo. The commission felt that they wanted to change the rules regarding said business type prior to voting on Tradition Tattoo. A process that has become all to common in our city, and in simplest terms, is wrong. It's both anti-business and anti-progress.
People filled the chamber to speak on the topic only to find out commissioners were postponing the hearing until June 7. Another meeting for residents to mark on their calendars and several weeks for the business owner to wait to hear the fate of the business.
The fact is we cannot continue change the rules in situations where a decision is already on the table. If the commission feels that LDRs need to be addressed for future situations concerning like usage, no problem. Approve Tradition Tattoo as recommended by board and staff and then develop ordinances so future requests are met with a pre-established plan or vision.
Another factor to consider is that tattoos are also protected under the First Amendment. There is case law on the topic. Cities do have the right to regulate certain things about tattoo shops, like their hours of operation.
Taking it even further was our commission's discussion late into last week's meeting, which saw members of the commission grouping tattoo parlors, the rehabilitation industry and heroin users into one conversation. That's correct. Your city commission feels there is a correlation between tattoos parlors and heroin users. But let's not get off topic.
A previous commission was in a similar situation fifteen years ago when BankUnited wanted to open a bank downtown on Atlantic Avenue. Although the commission recognized that a bank's hours did not align with the vision for our downtown to be activated at night and on weekends, they approved BankUnited. Then, in proper fashion, changed the rules to prevent similar situations that could impact the vision for our downtown in the future.
It's about doing what's right by the businesses that want to be here in our city. That want to pay taxes, create jobs, infuse commerce and be a part of our community. And rather than embrace and encourage said move, we do the opposite.
I'll end with this. I own a marketing company. Every week I meet with current and potential clients in the real estate development and investment field that tell me that they have zero interest in Delray Beach due to the current environment. They are incredibly involved with progressive cities with vision and leadership like Deerfield Beach, Boca Raton and Boynton Beach. Some people in our city who refute progress, would call that success. I call it scary.

KISS Meets the Phantom of the Park (1978)
Directed by Gordon Hessler
Featuring Peter Criss, Ace Frehley, Gene Simmons, Paul Stanley
What it is: Rock star superhero exploitation TV-Movie
A mad scientist at an amusement park seeks to replace the members of KISS with robots, but not if the members of the group can use their superpowers to defeat him.
I was in high school when KISS became popular, so naturally I was embroiled in the whole "KISS rules/KISS sucks" controversy; for the record, I was in the latter category. I think the reason this band had the controversy in the first place was because they had a gimmick; they all wore heavy makeup and had distinct personas on stage, with Gene Simmons' fire-breathing tongue-wagging demon character merely the most prominent. The controversy mostly had to do with whether they were anything more than the gimmick itself. At any rate, the controversy means little to me now; though I still don't think they were a great band, at least their music didn't annoy the hell out of me like some bands I really dislike.
However, there doesn't seem to be that much a controversy about this attempt to turn them into movie stars; the band itself hated the movie, and if it does have any fans, I suspect it's more due to the concert footage than for the story. Granted, the group was told that the movie was going to be like a cross between A HARD DAY'S NIGHT and STAR WARS. Well, it does star a rock group and features special effects, but that's about as close as it comes to that description. Perhaps a more apt comparison would be to say it's like a Santo Mexican wrestling movie, which I'm pretty sure wouldn't be seen as a compliment. The story is pure silliness, giving the group dumb superpowers and a ridiculous "mad scientist" plot. I'm tempted to say that one of the problems is that the members of the group can't act, but the truth of the matter is that it's hard to tell; one of the members was perpetually missing from the set and had to be replaced by his stunt double for most scenes, another missed the dubbing sessions and had his voice replaced by another actor, and all of Gene Simmons' lines are either done with an echo box or consist of lion roars. Still, Simmons was the only group member here with enough stage presence to make an impression. Anthony Zerbe is a good choice for the villain, but his character is silly and tiresome. My favorite scene in the movie is the opening credits, where the group members appear as giants towering over the rides in the amusement park, and my favorite line in the movie has to do with someone mistaking the word "apocalypse" for the name of a rock group. Beyond that, unless you're really into KISS concert footage, there's little of interest here.

Home News New Survey Shows Tight Race for Governor, Aiona Says
New Survey Shows Tight Race for Governor, Aiona Says
HONOLULU – Lt. Governor Duke Aiona today released the results of a recent statewide survey conducted by The Tarrance Group, one of the most widely respected and successful polling firms in the nation, which shows a statistical dead heat in the head-to-head ballot matchups between Lt. Governor Duke Aiona, Honolulu Mayor Mufi Hannemann and Neil Abercrombie in the 2010 gubernatorial campaign.
"As I have always said, whether we're up or down, the only poll that matters is the one on Election Day," Lt. Governor Duke Aiona said. "I'm going to put my support for Hawai`i's working families and small businesses front and center in this grassroots campaign, and by working together, we're going to ensure balance, integrity and accountability in state government."
The following is a memorandum from The Tarrance Group detailing the results of the statewide survey.
TO: TEAM AIONA
FROM: BRIAN C. TRINGALI, KEVIN HUDAK
RE: LATEST POLL SHOWS TIGHT RACE FOR GOVERNOR – EARLIER THAN EXPECTED
The Tarrance Group is pleased to present the following findings from our latest survey of "likely" voters in Hawai`i's race for Governor. The Tarrance Group was commissioned by the Duke Aiona for Governor campaign to conduct a telephone survey of N=600 registered voters who are likely to participate in the election this November. A random sample of this type is likely to yield a margin of error of +4.1% in 95 out of 100 cases. Responses to the survey were gathered June 13-15, 2010.
When we compare how Duke Aiona performs against either of his potential opponents in a general election for Governor, we find that in both cases the race is too close to call. Indeed, both ballot results are within the margin of error of the survey. But it is hard to ignore the fact that Duke Aiona actually leads Mufi Hannemann (+4) and is not very far behind with Neil Abercrombie (-3).
For those familiar with the typically late breaking elections that take place in Hawai`i, this positive position for the Aiona candidacy seems to have occurred early in the process. This may suggest that Democrats – at least the two candidates vying for the nomination to run against the Lieutenant Governor – are not enjoying the position of strength typically enjoyed by their political party at this juncture in the race.
Unlike Linda Lingle's first election as Governor eight short years ago, Duke Aiona is a very well known candidate. As Lieutenant Governor, 97% have heard of him. More importantly, he maintains a very positive image going into the election. Sixty-two percent (62%) are favorable toward Aiona and 27% are unfavorable.

Feb. 18 - In just a few hours Trine and I will be escorting Molli Malou on her first visit to the United States. This is the first time our seven-and-a-half-month-old daughter will be seeing my homeland. She'll also get her first glimpse of many relatives—which is probably less significant than the fact that they'll be getting their first glimpse of her.
We return to Denmark in about ten days and there'll be blogging galore about our American adventures at that time.
I may chime in now and then on MoronAbroad or the Moronic Underground (see "Discuss" link, below) while we're abroad. . . but then again, I may not. This is our first actual vacation in a long, long time, and frankly I'm looking forward to getting the hell away from my computer.

Birthday party ends in tragedy as uninvited teenage guest stabs celebrant to death in Ogun
Kent9ja
A birthday party ended in tragedy when a teenage guest stabbed the celebrant, Omeika Josiah at Amini Awo village in Odeda Local Government Area of Ogun state.
According to reports, the suspect identified as Sunday Philip, said to be an apprentice mechanic, arrived the party uninvited and was served a bottle of beer and a plate of spiced spaghetti.
As the party progressed, Philip got into a fight with a guest after a misunderstanding. The celebrant walk in on both men fighting and took sides with the guest identified as Jonah, and this got Philip angry. The suspect ran into a nearby house and returned with a knife which he used to stab Philip.
"One of the guests named Jonah sent a boy to move the sound system away from the scene when he noticed that food and drinks were pouring on the floor. But Sunday (Philip), an apprentice mechanic, prevented the boy sent by Jonah from taking the jukebox away and seized the sound gadget. Jonah tried to take the sound system from Sunday and a fight broke out between them," the source explained.
"When Sunday realised that he could not overpower Jonah, he rushed to a nearby house and brought out a knife to attack Jonah. Unfortunately, on his way back to Jonah, he met the celebrator, Josiah, who warned him not to disrupt his party. But Sunday then became angry that Josiah had taken sides with Jonah, so he stabbed him to death."
A community leader who confirmed the incident said he was not aware of the plan to hold a birthday party in the village and had the deceased celebrator told him, he would have informed the village head, Chief Kunle Aromokun, to put in place adequate security.
"It is sad that the life of the celebrator was cut short by an uninvited guest at his own party. If the late Josiah had told me that he was going to organise a party to celebrate his birthday, I would have told the Baale (village head), who would have in turn invited members of the Odua Peoples Congress (OPC) to provide security and prevent a breakdown of law and order at the event." he said.
One of the guests at the party identified simply as Oladele said that the suspect lived on the same street as Josiah, but he was not invited to the party.
"Sunday (Philip) had left home for work very early in the morning. He had no idea that Josiah was going to throw a birthday party in the neighbourhood," said Oladele.
"He however came to the party when he got wind that it was Josiah's birthday celebration. Only God knows what came over him when he launched into a fight with another guest and close friend of the celebrator. If not for the timely intervention of the community leaders and other residents, he would have been mobbed to death when he was nabbed after he tried to escape from the scene where he stabbed Josiah to death."

That was his intention. And I felt the love. I did.
Still, today, I continue to feel grateful. Not for the impractical, rather hideous piece of plywood furniture that was too big to fit on any wall in my bedroom. But for the intention. The effort. The thought.
My dear husband, my boyfriend at the time, didn't have a saw, tools or much money. Just six pieces of 7-by-7-foot plywood, a box of nails and some hinges. I needed a new chest of drawers. Ever thoughtful, he did what he could, given the constraints.
Maybe it didn't help that he painted the colossal plywood box bright pink and with a neon green star.
I really did appreciate it, the entire time we struggled to push it, marked with a "free" sign, onto the street corner. Shocking, really, that no one snatched it up. Ever. Not even sanitation services on bulky item collection day. It weighed more than the dump truck.
We had fun breaking it down together with an ax.
Ah, the romantic Valentine's memories of yesteryear.
Maybe you, too, want to bestow a handmade-with-love Valentine's Day gift this year. But whether it's a lack of tools, supplies, training, patience, time or even the dim flicker of DIY talent, sometimes the result feels more like a new problem than a gift. And maybe, in those cases, it's best to gift something that someone else made with love. Same same but different, right?

Danish PM postpones wedding to attend Covid-19 meeting
By James Frater, CNN
Updated 2243 GMT (0643 HKT) June 25, 2020
Denmark's Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen gives a press statement to comment on the situation concerning the spread of the novel coronavirus, in the Prime Ministry in Copenhagen, on March 10, 2020. - Denmark so far has registered 156 persons potisiv with the COVID-19 disease.
(CNN) Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen has postponed her wedding to attend the European Council meeting next month, she said in an Instagram post on Thursday.
EU leaders are scheduled to meet face-to-face on July 17 for the first time since the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic to discuss the European budget and the plans for recovery from the Covid-19 crisis.
"I'm so looking forward to marrying this man," wrote Frederiksen in a post that featured herself and her fiance Bo Tengberg. "The Council meeting in Brussels has been convened exactly on the Saturday in July when we had planned our wedding. Damn. But, I have to do my job and protect Denmark's interests.
Frederiksen and her fiance, Bo Tengberg at the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art in Humlebaek, Denmark, on May 22 as lockdown restrictions were loosened.
"I'm looking forward to saying yes to Bo (who is fortunately very patient)," she added.
Denmark has recorded 12,836 coronavirus cases and 603 deaths, according to figures from Johns Hopkins University.
It was one of the first Western countries to begin easing lockdown restrictions in April after the number of cases in the country remained low.
The leader of Denmark's center-left Socialist Democratic party became the country's youngest prime minister last year at the age of 41.
Last August, US President Donald Trump accused Frederiksen of making "nasty" and "inappropriate" comments, after she called his reported wish to buy Greenland "absurd."


The number of students who have died through suicide has increased by 79% (from 75 to 134) between 2007 and 2015, according to new IPPR research.
A report looking into 58 UK higher education providers shows that five times as many first year university students are disclosing a mental health condition now compared with ten years ago.
The research reveals that Millennials are more likely than previous generations of young adults to disclose experiencing a mental health condition at 19% of young adults (aged 16-24) experience a mental health condition, up from 15% in 1993.
Female students were significantly more likely than male first-year students to disclose a mental health condition.
The report has also found that 94% of UK universities have seen an increase in demand for counselling services.
In some universities, up to 1 in 4 students are using, or waiting to use, counselling services.
However less than half (48%) of students who report experiencing a mental health condition disclose it to their university, suggesting significant levels of unmet need.
IPPR Senior Research Fellow, Craig Thorley, said: "The number of students who report a mental health condition to their university is growing rapidly. And a significant proportion experience mental distress and/or low wellbeing which risks disrupting their studies.
"Universities must be ready to support these students, including, where appropriate, through referral into specialist care. But the extent of support is currently too varied, and many university services are overwhelmed by the level of demand.
Andrew Reeves, Chair of BACP, who worked for many years in a higher education context, said: "Properly resourced counselling in universities can provide accessible, timely, specialist support to distressed students, helping them to continue with, and successfully complete their studies, as well as cope with the specific pressures of university life and common mental health problems, such as depression and anxiety.
"A service provided within the university setting provides an easy to access, familiar and less stigmatising environment in which to receive mental health support; and so is more likely than traditional NHS-based services to be used by, and be useful to, a student population.
"Waiting times for assessment and beginning therapy in university and college counselling services are also generally better than primary care mental health services.

Richmond County BOE officer arrested, former Thomson police officer wanted
A Richmond County Board of Education Public Safety Officer was arrested on Tuesday and a former Thomson Police Department officer is wanted after an investigation by the Richmond County Sheriff's Office.
Officer Gretchen Moran was arrested and charged with violation of oath of office and use of communication device in committing a felony. Moran is on administrative leave with pay pending termination proceedings, according to Richmond County schools spokesman Kaden Jacobs. He said Moran was a Department of Schools Safety and Security dispatcher and was not assigned to a school nor did she work around children.
Arrest warrants have been issued for former Thomson police officer Ashley Hunter on the same charges, according to the sheriff's office.
The public safety office requested the sheriff's office investigate Moran after she reported her duty weapon and equipment were stolen from her patrol car Jan. 17. According to the sheriff's office, Moran had previously reported the light bar and hubcaps on her patrol car stolen on Sept. 30.
The investigation also found that Moran and Hunter were involved in drug use and drug sales.
Moran is being held at the Charles B. Webster Detention Center.

I'm in Hollywood this week. Last night the ghost of actor Charles Laughton came to visit me. I told him that I really enjoyed his performance in the movie about Rembrandt. He was very touched. He said that he liked knowing that people still cared about what he did after he died.
He then introduced me to his wife Elsa Lancaster. She's also a dead actor. I said I liked her in Bride of Frankenstein. This embarrassed her. She nodded and quietly said thanks.
Then we all took a walk up to the Hollywood sign. It's amazing to look down at the city all aglow. Did you know the Hollywood sign is made of crystallized marshmallow? I ate a little. It was delicious!
Flitched the Horse goes for it!

My expectation:
current output:

A: Just need to add ClipBehavior to Dialog.
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';

class CustomDialog extends StatelessWidget {
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    const double padding = 1.0;
    return Dialog(
      backgroundColor: Colors.green,
      shape: RoundedRectangleBorder(
        borderRadius: BorderRadius.circular(20.0),
      ),
      clipBehavior: Clip.antiAlias, //  add clipBehavior
      child: Column(mainAxisSize: MainAxisSize.min, children: [
        Container(
          margin: EdgeInsets.all(1),
          width: double.infinity,
          child: Text('title',
              style: TextStyle(fontSize: 30, color: Colors.white)),
          color: Colors.green,
        ),
        Container(
          color: Colors.white,
          padding: EdgeInsets.all(10),
          child: ListView(
            shrinkWrap: true,
            children: [
              Container(
                  margin: EdgeInsets.only(left: 10, bottom: 10),
                  height: 30,
                  child: Text('one',
                      style: TextStyle(
                        fontSize: 20,
                      ))),
              Container(
                  margin: EdgeInsets.only(left: 10, bottom: 10),
                  height: 30,
                  child: Text('one',
                      style: TextStyle(
                        fontSize: 20,
                      ))),
              Container(
                  margin: EdgeInsets.only(left: 10, bottom: 10),
                  height: 30,
                  child: Text('one',
                      style: TextStyle(
                        fontSize: 20,
                      ))),
            ],
          ),
        ),
        Divider(
          color: Colors.white,
        ),
        Container(
            color: Colors.white,
            height: 50,
            padding: EdgeInsets.all(5),
            alignment: Alignment.centerRight,
            child: Text(
              'CANCEL',
              style: TextStyle(fontSize: 20),
            )),
      ]),
    );
  }
}

A: The issue was with the Container you used to wrap the other widgets, you can add specific border radius to each container to fix.
I added a demo and code to get what you wanted your output to look like:
class CustomDialog extends StatelessWidget {
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Dialog(
      shape: RoundedRectangleBorder(
        borderRadius: BorderRadius.circular(15.0),
      ),
      child: Container(
        height: 340,
        child: Column(
          children: [
            Container(
              height: 60,
              width: double.infinity,
              padding: EdgeInsets.all(
                15.0,
              ),
              decoration: BoxDecoration(
                color: Colors.green,
                borderRadius: BorderRadius.only(
                  topLeft: Radius.circular(
                    15.0,
                  ),
                  topRight: Radius.circular(
                    15.0,
                  ),
                ),
              ),
              child: Text(
                'Baby Names',
                style: TextStyle(
                  fontSize: 20,
                  color: Colors.white,
                ),
              ),
            ),
            ...List.generate(
              5,
              (index) => Padding(
                padding: const EdgeInsets.all(10.0),
                child: Align(
                  alignment: Alignment.centerLeft,
                  child: Text(
                    'List Names',
                    style: TextStyle(
                      fontSize: 18,
                    ),
                  ),
                ),
              ),
            ),
            Divider(
              color: Colors.grey[200],
              thickness: 1.5,
            ),
            Padding(
              padding: const EdgeInsets.all(10.0),
              child: Align(
                alignment: Alignment.centerRight,
                child: Text(
                  'CANCEL',
                  style: TextStyle(
                    fontSize: 18,
                    color: Colors.green,
                  ),
                ),
              ),
            ),
          ],
        ),
      ),
    );
  }
}

RESULT:

A: You added RoundedRectangleBorder(),
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
void main() {
  runApp(
    MaterialApp(
      home: MyWidget(),
    ),
  );
}

Michigan Gets Its First 'Sober Bar'
Jojo Girard Published: March 16, 2021

Lansing's Wing Heaven Sports Haven opened this week, just in time for March Madness. It's a bar -- that doesn't serve alcohol.
The owners of Wing Heaven said they are delighted to be the first in the state to pick up on a trend that started out west.
Co-owner Theresa Stokes told the Lansing State Journal that the bar has a niche market, people who are in recovery, or people who just don't want to be around drinkers.
"When you are on probation or anything, you can't even go to Applebee's because they serve alcohol, but you still need somewhere to go and have social engagement other than AA or NA meetings."
"They can come here and watch a game, shoot pool or play air hockey. It's the same environment as a bar, minus the alcohol."
Don't be surprised to see this idea take off around the Grand Rapids area soon.
You can visit Wing Heaven's Facebook page here.

Cockersand Abbey
Premonstratensian monasteries in Glasson
Cockersand Abbey is a former abbey near Cockerham in the City of Lancaster district of Lancashire, England. It was founded before 1184 as the Hospital of St Mary on the marsh belonging to Leicester Abbey. It was refounded as a Premonstratensian priory and subsequently elevated to an abbey in 1192. It also continued as a hospital.

The abbey was dissolved in 1539 and acquired by a John Kitchen. The site is now adjacent to a farm house and the only significant relic is the still intact, vaulted chapter house which was built in 1230 and used as a family mausoleum by the Daltons of Thurnham Hall during the 18th and 19th centuries. There are some scrappy remains of the church adjacent. A tradition that the medieval choir stalls in the nearby Lancaster Priory originated from here has been discredited.Шаблон:Citation needed

The chapter house is a Grade I listed building and Scheduled Ancient Monument. In 2007 English Heritage made an £80,000 grant to the owner to help preserve the building. There is no public access to the chapter house.

Two Roman silver statuettes were discovered on Cockersand Moss near the abbey site in 1718, possibly indicating the presence of a Romano-British shrine nearby.

The Democratic Party has no basis in logic.
Re: The Democratic Party has no basis in logic.
This seems to be your only argument with no proof to back it up.
You can't expect him to have any actual thought or fact put into his posts. That would require intelligence. After reading his posts for years, I think we can all agree that is not the case.
Another winner of a post from you exhibiting the extent of your ability to process logic. What a surprise.
Amazing how the predictions come true when you look back.
Honestly it wasnt hard to predict.
Not to some of us.
The sad part is...in this case an 'I told you so' is not what we wanted to hear or say. I don't mind it if it were a sports team, a car mod, or a poorly planned vacation that ends up being nothing but rain. But regarding the direction of our Country...not good. Id rather be wrong by far about Obama and his hand picked administration that's failed us on almost a monthly basis since his fraudulent election in 08.
We're going to be looking back a few years after his 2 reigns of terror (oops I mean terms) and see some pretty interesting stuff surface. I just hope America starts holding politicians accountable at some point and making them answer for their mistakes. We all pay for our mistakes. Some of us lose hours at work, lose our jobs, etc. These guys in Washington only get paid more every year, don't fall victim to their own laws that hurt the rest of us, and have no accountability when things go bad and simply point fingers at the opposite party.
Republicans are not perfect, but the last 4+ years so far have proven (along with all the heavily Democratic controlled cities) that we're not heading in the right direction under this 'team' in Washington. How about a hybrid Republican/Democrat who doesn't tell us what we want to hear and play distraction tricks with 'pro gay/pro illegal/pro poor/etc' but instead does what is best whether we want to believe it or not based off of facts, statistics, and isn't afraid to tell Americans the process will be painful, slow, and take a long time but both parties will be at fault if it doesn't succeed.
I will survive, my family will survive, but those who do not have the means to help themselves are the ones truly getting hurt by all this bickering in Washington. And it doesn't help when you pander to the weak and poor who believe the demonizing against the 'wealthy' because some comedian says it.
You want to really see why this country is doomed?
I need to look up the actual statistics because I don't have them handy, but in fiscal year 2011, there were 11 states with more people on welfare than people employed. Also, the Senate Budget Committee report showed the average US household on government assistance receives benefits that total more than the median household income.
When your standard of living is higher on government assistance than it would be to get a job, why would you get a job?
If Trump is elected, it sure will be entertaining to see if his words come to fruition.


Little Rock-raised and L.A.-based artist DMP Jefe returns to the airwaves today with a brand new single titled "Make Sum Shake." This is Jefe's 2nd single release of 2018 with the first being his CardoGotWings-produced banger "Slayed", which came out back in May.
Making many moves since then, the Cinematic signee is gearing up to release a new EP titled A Wolf In Sheep's Clothing later this month. With "Slayed" making its well-deserved noise, and now this uppity new anthem "Make Sum Shake," Jefe is surely 2-for-2 going into the release of his project.

Beat the butter in a medium mixing bowl with a wooden spoon or with an electric mixer until smooth.
Add the herbs, salt and vinegar, mix until evenly incorporated. Taste and adjust the seasonings if needed.
Lay a 12-inch square of plastic wrap on a work surface.
Spoon the butter out in a band about 1 inch wide on the bottom third of the plastic.
Tightly roll up the butter in the plastic to form a log.
Grab hold of the excess plastic at both ends of the log and twist the ends in opposite directions, like a hard candy wrapper, until it is very taut and the butter forms an evenly round cylinder.
To store the butter, wrap the plastic-covered log tightly in heavy-duty aluminum foil and refrigerated for up to 1 week or freeze for up to 3 months.
To form coins, unwrap the cold butter log and slice it ¼ – ¾ inch thick with a sharp thin knife.
For Nasturtium or Calendula butter coins: follow the directions for the herb butter. Coarsely tear 24 brightly covered Nasturtium flowers and mix them into the butter so that they remain in large pieces. Shape the butter into a log as directed. When you slice the log, the flowers make a beautiful confetti pattern in the coins and add a mild peppery flavor. You can do the same thing with ¼ cup calendula petals. Beautiful!

Wisdom in Evil Days
Wisdom comes hard. Wisdom must be learned. It often comes through learning from mistakes and the brokenhearted results of sin. But best is when it's learned from God's word and then put into practice in purposeful living.
So Paul tells us to "look carefully then how you walk." The Christian does not live his life in a haphazard way—saying this and then answering like that, doing this and then acting like that. No. The Christian lives his life carefully. He understands that what he says matters, that what he does matters, that what he thinks matters. And because of this, he must make the "best use of the time." The King James Version has, "Redeeming the time," which might be a better translation. This goes well with the Psalmist who teaches us to number our days that we may gain a heart of wisdom (Psalm 90:12). Time is precious and not to be wasted in levity. The Christian may enjoy the things of this world, and should certainly be cheerful, but seriousness never leaves him. He hates flippancy and cynicism. The Christian life is a matter of spiritual life and death; souls are at stake and the witness of the Church must be preserved with integrity. In short, the Christian life is a life of godly honor.
To live a life of wisdom means to know the will of God. We have previously spoken of this with the help of Romans 12:1-2: living as sacrifices, shunning the world for being transformed by a renewed mind in the Spirit. A thorough knowledge of the word that is then lived in obedience, for no progress in wisdom will ever come without living in daily obedience to the Lord. Paul's exhortation to address one another with psalms and hymns, singing and making melody in our own hearts, always giving thanks to God—all of this requires a constant meditation on God and His word, bringing every thought captive to Christ (2 Corinthians 10:5).
Finally, Paul tells us that a part of wisdom is "submitting to one another out of reverence for Christ." Christians must submit to the authorities in this world as everyone else, but here Paul is speaking of the church. Wisdom builds its house on God's word, putting Him first and self last. In between are others who need to see us placing all on the altar for God. Wisdom ultimately teaches me that it's not about me, but that I am to "seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness" (Matthew 6:33). Wisdom has built her house; it is for us to learn of her (Proverbs 9:1).

My name is Stephen Taylor, ordained Baptist minister of eighteen years pastoral experience with a Ph.D. in Historical Theology from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in Fort Worth, Texas. Better than that, I am married to a godly woman, Karla, who has been very patient with me since 1989. I have two daughters, both of whom I homeschooled for extended periods of time, who became godly young women, and who ran off and married godly young men, all of which is very proper. The oldest daughter has even seen fit to bless me with a grandson and a granddaughter, and my youngest daughter with a grandson, all three of whom are bundles of exceeding joy. As you can see, I am quite blessed. This website is dedicated to helping people grow in the wisdom and knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ through the gift of writing that the Lord has given to me. It is specifically about helping His people grow in godliness, the theme you see repeated above. I write devotions with this aim and hope that they might be of some help to God's people. Full disclosure: I am of a Reformed bent, meaning that my understanding of Scripture is primarily informed by the Reformers and their successors of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. However, as a student of church history and theology, I strive to remain true to that teaching handed down once for all unto the saints through every age of the Church. I like to think of myself as a "catholic" Christian, as the Reformers thought of themselves. At any rate, feel free to read, pray, and contact me if you wish, or correct me if need be. As you can see, I tend to follow the church year. Of course, I make no special claims about these devotions. I know very well that others have written better and plumbed the depths of God's word with greater insight. But if my musings help someone draw closer to the Lord, well then, I have my reward. Blessings to you and may the God and Father of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ speak to you that word which He knows you especially need to hear. Grace & peace, Stephen Taylor	View all posts by The Reformed Baptist

Fred Ross, Cesar Chavez and Lessons for Ferguson
adminsm
Fred Ross Sr. (Reuther Library)
The police stop a young man. An officer shoots, killing him. The officer claims self-defense, that the killing was warranted.
The community, having endured years of unequal treatment at the hands of law enforcement and other municipal agencies, responds in anger. Protests ensue. Hard feelings persist, as do demands for law-enforcement accountability.
Sound familiar? No, this is not the case of 18-year-old Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri. The young man in question was Augustin Salcido, 17, and the incident occurred in Los Angeles more than six decades earlier. The Internet did not exist at that time and local television audiences were miniscule, so the Civil Rights Congress of Los Angeles produced a pamphlet, Justice for Salcido. In its introduction, author and civil rights advocate Carey McWilliams described the killing as part of a historical pattern of "continued suppression of the Mexican minority."
Fred Ross, organizer for a new group known as the Community Service Organization (CSO), recognized the all-too-prevalent problem of police brutality—and the familiar, ineffective community response. The pattern practiced by groups such as the Civil Rights Congress included protests that failed to address the underlying powerlessness of the community.
"They never win any of their cases—no power—so the people have gotten discouraged and won't listen to the congress anymore," said Ross, who posited that members of the community could not change the bias in the hearts of the offending officers, but the community, if properly organized, could use political power to alter behavior.
After all, the police worked for the city.
The fact that not a single Latino (or African American) served on Los Angeles' 15-member City Council presented a problem. Worse yet, few Mexican Americans bothered to vote, eliminating pressure on the incumbents to speak out.
Ross and the CSO leaders settled on a three-step program to change the power dynamic in Los Angeles.
First, they undertook "house meetings" wherein CSO leaders explained to community members the importance of working together through the CSO to address community concerns.
Second, with a thousand members enrolled, CSO undertook the then-largest voter registration drive among Latinos, signing up 15,000 new voters.
To make real this potential game-changing bloc of new voters, CSO needed to demonstrate that they would actually go to the polls. So, in a nonpartisan fashion, CSO ran a massive get-out-the-vote drive for the 1948 election.
The successful voter engagement provided the community with a new sense of power. It also provided a civic laboratory to teach practical electoral skills to newly organized CSO activists, altering their relationships with other community groups. CSO and the Latino community were now perceived as reliable community partners that could deliver at the polls.
This led to the development of new coalitions. Most important to the inchoate CSO were the Jewish community, organized labor and smaller groups of blacks and Asians.
This multicultural coalition elected CSO president Edward Roybal to the Los Angeles City Council in 1949, making him the first Latino elected to that body in modern times. He advocated for Latinos as well as for blacks, Jews and Asians who did not yet have representation on the council.
Two years later, in a police beating case known as Bloody Christmas, Councilman Roybal (later a member of Congress) and his progressive community allies forced the city to punish the offending officers.
This case impacted Latinos far beyond Los Angeles. Seeking to expand CSO beyond the city, Fred Ross began to organize in San Jose. One of his first house meetings included a young Cesar Chavez, then working in a lumberyard.
"I didn't know what CSO was, or who this guy Fred Ross was, but I knew about the Bloody Christmas case, and so did everybody in that room," recalled Chavez. "Five cops actually had been jailed for brutality. And the miracle was the result of CSO efforts."
Chavez joined CSO. Ross mentored him and other young activists such as Dolores Huerta. The three worked closely together in CSO through the 1950s and into the '60s, at which time Chavez and Huerta left the organization to form what became the United Farm Workers. Ross advised the UFW leaders and at key moments helped organize in the fields and with the urban grape boycott.
Looking back, we clearly see that the quiet and unassuming Ross changed history in a profound way. He empowered the growing Latino community, bringing it into the political mainstream earlier than might have occurred.
Ross's legacy is also in the people he mentored and in those they, in turn, trained. California's three greatest Latino icons—Roybal, Chavez and Huerta—in all probability would not have emerged as civic giants had it not been for Ross.
California is set to posthumously recognize Ross on October 1, when Governor Jerry Brown will induct the community organizer into the California Hall of Fame of the California Museum.
Ross' fundamental insight, that ordinary people can achieve extraordinary results though organizing, needs wider recognition in California—and in cities across the nation, starting in Ferguson.
