17 and he went out, bearing his own cross, to the place called The Place of a Skull, which in Aramaic is called Golgotha. 18 There they crucified him, and with him two others, one on either side, and Jesus between them. 19 Pilate also wrote an inscription and put it on the cross. It read, "Jesus of Nazareth, the King of the Jews." 20 Many of the Jews read this inscription, for the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city, and it was written in Aramaic, in Latin, and in Greek. 21 So the chief priests of the Jews said to Pilate, "Do not write, 'The King of the Jews,' but rather, 'This man said, I am King of the Jews.'" 22 Pilate answered, "What I have written I have written." 23 When the soldiers had crucified Jesus, they took his garments and divided them into four parts, one part for each soldier; also his tunic.[a]But the tunic was seamless, woven in one piece from top to bottom,24 so they said to one another, "Let us not tear it, but cast lots for it to see whose it shall be." This was to fulfill the Scripture which says, "They divided my garments among them, and for my clothing they cast lots."So the soldiers did these things, 25 but standing by the cross of Jesus were his mother and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene. 26 When Jesus saw his mother and the disciple whom he loved standing nearby, he said to his mother, "Woman, behold, your son!" 27 Then he said to the disciple, "Behold, your mother!" And from that hour the disciple took her to his own home. John 19:17 - 27 (ESV)
Jesus was arrested and bound by the soldiers and taken before Annas, father-in-law of the High Priest Caiaphas. Annas is also called the High Priest in other passages so there is some debate over why he is also called the High Priest. Some suggest that Caiaphas and Annas shared the position and others suggest that since he was High Priest before Caiaphas that he was probably retired from the position but still held the title.
The death of Jesus is a graphic and gruesome thing. Many of us have either seen movies, read books or even imagined in your mind what this horrific event was like, but I do not think we can fathom what it was really like. The death Jesus suffered was a painful, humiliating and violent one, yet it was necessary to accomplish the will of the Father. Crucifixion was a method of capital punishment used by many nations including Greece and Persia. The Romans used it as a means to execute slaves and criminals.
In the Gospel of John, the final two statements made by Jesus were first a personal need, "I thirst", and the second is a declaration of completion of the task, "It is finished!" What was finished? Jesus has accomplished what He came to do. The law has been fulfilled and redemption has been made. Through Jesus' death, humanity can have peace with God. He has borne the penalty of sin for humanity so that those who believe and obey would not face this penalty.
It was nearing the Sabbath before Passover and the process of death was going to be sped up by breaking the legs of those being crucified. They wanted to get this over, so they could go ahead and celebrate the Passover. However, Jesus had already given up His spirit and was lifeless so there was no need to break His legs (thus fulfilling prophecy). To ensure He was in fact dead the Roman soldier pierced his side.
It is believed that both Joseph and Nicodemus were Sanhedrin and followers of Jesus. Joseph must have been a person of influence because typically a person who was crucified was just thrown in a common grave.
Today, this devotional ends the Season of Lent, but the story does not end here. This account is gruesome, brutal, and somewhat tragic but altogether necessary. The death of Jesus Christ establishes God's new covenant of grace, atonement and redemption with humanity. Let us all remember, today may be a sad day in the Gospel account, but we must remember, Sunday is on the horizon.
Happy Easter! He is RISEN!

Author interview: Ken Follett stokes the flames of emotions and intrigue
In A Column of Fire, author Ken Follett has captured what is arguably the most significant political period of England. He tells us why ancient history fascinates him, though his works have also spanned modern wars and the space race.

Enid Blyton, with her young truth-seekers. Shakespeare, with his flaming drama and bloodbath and satire. Ian Fleming, with his suave agent 007. These authors "enchanted" Ken Follett, and gave him "the urge to write books which would enchant my readers in turn".
Once we learn about these early influences on Follett, it's not hard to see why he has been able to straddle different times and spaces, and created stories with a common thread of heightened emotions and extreme intrigue. A Column of Fire, the third book in Follett's Kingsbridge Series, is set in arguably the most significant historical period of England — the start of the Elizabethan era, the last half-a-century of the Middle Ages, and the terrible end of Mary Queen of Scots. Young Ned Willard returns home to Kingsbridge, eager to see his mother, impatient to meet the girl he loves. But his simple pleasures stand no chance in the face of sweeping political changes. The book heaves with events.
Some of Follett's books have the backdrop of recent history — war in Europe, the space race, and so on. Some others are set in a world that existed centuries ago — in the time of royal intrigues and a crippling fear of God among the public. We ask which of these two eras he finds more fascinating. "A difficult choice," he says, "but on the whole, I prefer ancient history. In some ways, it is more revealing. Circumstances were so very different — but the people were the same as us."
In the mind of readers in India, the name "Ken Follett" is still followed immediately by "Eye of the Needle". The 1978 book, Follett's first bestseller, set in the time of WWII, has as much power today as it had forty years ago. Asked if it annoys him that this book can still dominate conversations around his literary works, the author says, "On the contrary, I'm very pleased that a book I wrote [so long ago] is still selling and giving people pleasure. Few books last that long!"
A Column of Fire is the third book in Ken Follett's Kingsbridge series, which started in 1989.
Since that book, which was equal parts thriller and drama, Follett has moved on to a bigger canvas. In 1989, The Pillars of the Earth was published, starting the Kingsbridge trilogy. In 2010, Fall of Giants was out, starting the Centuries trilogy.
Writing The Pillars of the Earth was one of the author's "more difficult" projects, for the sheer size of it. It took 18 years for the second Kingsbridge book, World Without End, to be published — and the sequel hadn't been planned. "The project grew because people loved reading the books and I loved writing them," says Follett.
"Pillars was difficult," he adds, "because I had never before written such a long and complex book. However, I learned a lot from the experience and now I am comfortable dealing with a large canvas and a big cast of characters. Also, the readers love long novels (provided they are exciting, of course)." Asked if the series may go further, he says yes.
A day in the life of Ken Follett
"All the writers I know are disciplined," says the author. "You have to be, otherwise you would never finish a novel. I write all day, 7am to 4pm, Monday to Friday. My inspiration [for writing] comes from everywhere. Authors have antennae. Something I read, something I see on TV, something someone says to me, makes my antennae quiver and I think: I could make a story of that."
Every author is, in a sense, a parent to the characters they create. And like most parents, they have a favourite. Follett's favourite character is Prior Philip in Pillars. Because? He says, "I'm an atheist, and I was reluctant to create a hero who was a devout worshipper, but given the subject matter, I really had no choice. Philip is about as different from me as a character could get. Perhaps that's why, he is the best character I've ever created."
Female characters, temporarily subdued but with a strong will, have been central to several of Follett's stories. In light of that, his opinion on the gender equality issue would be interesting. "Total equality is the only policy that makes sense," he says. "Attempts to argue that women should be treated specially are rubbish."

Rudy Giuliani sued by former employee who claims he demanded sexual favors, often spewed derogatory comments towards minorities, and created a hostile work environment
January 17, 2023 Shirazi Law Firm, P.C.
Noelle Dunphy, a 43-year-old New York woman, filed a $3.1 million lawsuit against Rudy Giuliani. She claims that the former mayor demanded sexual favors and created a toxic work environment by constantly making derogatory comments toward women, minorities, and anyone he considered disloyal.
In Dunphy's filing she alleges that the former US Attorney, once hailed as 'America's Mayor' is a sexual predator and abuser. Giuliani allegedly "sexually harassed her and demanded sexual favors" while she was working for him doing business development work. Noelle was forced to receive "deferred compensation" and be an off-the-books, secret employee. She claims she wasn't offered severance and wasn't reimbursed for work expenses. Giuliani eventually fired her in 2021 without any legitimate reason and did not issue the compensation for work that had already been done. Once she reached out to him in regards of finding another job, he threatened Dunphy that if she didn't remain silent about all their ties, he would use his connections to former US President Trump and private investigators to retaliate in other ways.
Previous to working for him, Giuliani represented Dunphy for free in a domestic violence case. She claims that she was never able to pursue legal action in the case due to him allowing the statute of limitations to pass. According to the Manhattan Supreme Court summons the attorney was regularly intoxicated, was unable to remember important facts regarding her case, and used his counsel to pressure her for sexual exchanges during their consultations. His alcohol abuse worsened due to his divorce from his third wife and the increasing political and legal controversies that started while working for Trump.
Giuliani's lawyer Robert Costello claimed that Noelle Dunphy has never worked for Giuliani or any of his entities. He also claimed that the allegations drafted by Dunphy are defamatory. Dunphy responded by saying her allegations of non-payment and an unlawfully toxic work environment are backed by evidence and will be introduced at trial.
New York employment law and federal law state that employers must take action to prevent sexual harassment in the workplace. Employees also have the right to seek protection against their employer and any retaliatory action they may threaten to take. Employers with strong connections, influence and power like Giuliani cannot be allowed to get away with the violations of employee rights.

PT's good. Had pretty good range of motion and strength, but still have some muscle tightness and knots and stuff from being in the slign. Having to build up the smaller stabilizers, and shoulder blade stuff, to get better. Stretching definitely helps. Extra 2 weeks working from home while they did office renovations was nice. Ate worse though. Looking forward to eating healthier back in the office. Got Tracy a ukelele for Mother's Day. Much easier to play vs. a guitar. Reinvigorated my guitar learning as well. Maybe we could do a duet at some point. Almost definitely getting the garage redone this summer. About time. Got my NUC setup at home. Pretty nice and fast. Not entirely 100% stable though. Gotta iron that out. Also ordered up a Raspberry Pi to setup Pi-Hole.

Coronavirus may Prompt Migration out of American Cities
In the News COVID-19
By: Kim Hart | Axios
Nearly one-third of Americans are considering moving to a less densely populated area because of the novel coronavirus outbreak, according to a Harris Poll survey released Thursday.
The big picture: "Space now means something more than square feet," Harris Poll CEO John Gerzema said. "Already beset by high rents and clogged streets, the virus is now forcing urbanites to consider social distancing as a lifestyle."
By the numbers: 39% of urban dwellers said the COVID-19 crisis has prompted them to consider leaving for a less crowded place, according to the survey of 2,050 U.S. adults from April 25-27,
18- to-34-year-olds were more likely than other age groups to say they're considering a move.
Urban residents (43%) were more likely than suburban (26%) and rural (21%) residents to report having recently browsed real estate websites for homes or apartments to rent or buy, per the survey.
Yes, but: Alarm over coronavirus is high in rural areas, too — 77% of rural residents reported they are very or somewhat concerned about themselves or a loved one being exposed to COVID-19.
Between the lines: It's not yet clear how the pandemic will reshape cities in the long run, but many experts say it will accelerate trends that were already underway before the coronavirus outbreak.
City growth slows: After people flocked to big cities in the early 2010s, major metro areas with populations of more than 1 million have seen growth slowdowns and even losses over the past four years, according to an analysis of Census Bureau data by the Brookings Institution's William Frey.
Remote work normalized: Remote work is likely to become a more permanent reality, allowing staff more flexibility to live further away from their company's headquarters — hence, further away from major cities.
Spreading out: Suburbs had already become more attractive to millennials before the pandemic. Demographers and realtors tell HousingWire that the crisis is a "tipping point" for people already wanting more space or a different quality of life outside urban cores.
The other side: People tend to stay put in an economic downturn, so a recession could discourage people from picking up and moving, even if they've thought about it.

There is another trick is mentioned by another post that using android:largeHeap="true". This should be avoid as best practice when developing android application.

A: You can't increase the heap size dynamically but you can request to use more by using.
android:largeHeap="true"

in the manifest.xml,you can add in your manifest these lines it is working for some situations.
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
android:label="@string/app_name"
android:largeHeap="true"
android:supportsRtl="true"
android:theme="@style/AppTheme">

Defining Middle Eastern Cocktail Culture in D.C.
by Lisa Elbert, Tastemaker in Residence
Green Zone Bartender Chris Hassaan is building a repertoire of Middle Eastern drinks.
A lot of people drink in the Middle East, but cocktail culture as we know it doesn't exist in the Muslim world. There is, however, a rich culture of spirit free drinks that Chris Hassaan is using as inspiration for his cocktail program at The Green Zone in D.C.
Hassaan was raised in Northern Virginia by an Iraqi mother who grew up in Lebanon and fed her family mostly Iraqi and other Middle Eastern foods. He spent significant time in Dubai and Beirut, visiting his grandparents—one of whom enjoyed a regular tumbler of Johnnie Walker Black Label. "I've been exposed to Black Label since I can remember," says Hassaan. "My grandfather drank a glass before dinner every day, and still often does. When I went to Lebanon for the first time, I saw billboards and signs and posters— it's everywhere."
Black Label is on the back bar at Green Zone—the bar's name is a reference to the "international zone" and safe haven for people of all backgrounds in Baghdad. But the foundation of Hassaan's menu comes from the ubiquitous flavors, aromas, and beverages of the Middle East.
"Our Mint Lemonade & More is just a spiked version of a classic café and restaurant drink that's served everywhere. There were so many times I sat outside at cafés drinking it and thought, 'Damn, I wish there were alcohol in this,'" says Hassaan.
Hassaan defines the Middle East as any place where Arabic, Turkish, or Persian is spoken by a majority of citizens, including parts of Asia, Africa, and Europe. With regional nuance and a slew of common ingredients, the mise-en-place includes citrus, cardamom, cumin, saffron, mint, rosewater, and orange blossom water—the latter of which Hassaan slips into lots of drinks, including the Dabkiri with Palestinian arak, orange blossom water, and Denizen rum. "Orange flower water is such a pervasive flavor in the Arab world. Any time you have citrus, you generally have orange blossom water added to it," he says.
If you want to mix Middle Eastern, here are Hassaan's must-haves to stock in your well.
Distilled wine, redistilled with aniseed. Traditionally made from indigenous grapes, sometimes raisins, figs in Turkey, and dates in Iraq.
Why: There are a lot of commercial brands out there now, but a lot of it is made at home in villages. Every Christian family has an uncle or a grandfather that has a still in his backyard. It's almost always drunk in small glasses, mixed with water and served over ice, and it's almost always drunk with food.
Cocktails: Dabkiri: Palestinian arak, orange blossom water, Denizen rum
Lebanese Apricot Syrup
Dried apricot paste that's rehydrated and blended into syrup.
Why: This is a pretty standard ingredient in spirit free drink culture. The syrup is called Kamareddine, and it's prevalent in the eastern Arab world (Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, Palestine, Iraq). Traditionally, it's mixed with cold water, but we use it as a sweetener in cocktails. We also serve it with soda over ice.
Cocktail: Lebanese #1: Cognac, lemon, Lebanese apricot syrup, Lebanese flavors spray
Château Ksara Estate, Reserve du Couvent, Beqaa Valley, Lebanon
Why: There are a ton of Lebanese wine producers, but Château Ksara wines are staples because they're affordable and tasty. The Reserve du Couvent is our house wine. We also use it as a float on the Rauche ao Rio, which I came up with during the Olympics in Rio. There was a huge Lebanese showing there, and I wanted to make a drink that honored both countries. Th e float was a good way to make it Lebanese without adding a lot of spices or more heavy-handed flavors.
Cocktail: Rauche ao Rio: Cachaca, lime, passionfruit, arak, Reserve du Couvent
Lebanese Flavors Spray
Hassaan's proprietary spray that can never be replicated—even by him.
Why: It's used pretty exclusively in Lebanese #1. It's just in a spritz bottle. I made a very large batch of it many years ago, and I don't remember precisely what's in it, but it's a mixture of flavors that are all very prevalent in Lebanon: orange blossom water, sweet lemon peel, mastic (a tree resin), and a few more ingredients I can't exactly remember.
Iraqi-style Date Syrup
Concentrated date molasses.
Why: We use this as a sweetener in a lot of our cocktails. The bulk of my travels have been to Lebanon, so a bunch of my inspiration comes from there, but my mom is Iraqi and date syrup is extremely Iraqi.
Cocktail: Saz'Iraq: Rye, date syrup, bitters
Jallab Syrup made from dates and raisins, flavored with rosewater, and smoked with incense.
Why: Traditionally in the Middle East, Jallab is served with water over crushed ice, topped with pine nuts and raisins. We shake it in a cocktail shaker—which is probably not something that happens over there—and top it with pine nuts, raisins and pistachios. We call ours the Royal Jallab because we offer all of the toppings.
Cocktail: Royal Jallab: jallab, water, pine nuts, raisins, pistachios

Ithaca College hires new VP of finance
Sabrina Knight/The Ithacan
Gerald Hector, vice president of finance and administration, began working for Ithaca College in July to prepare for the retirement of Carl Sgrecci '69. President Tom Rochon said he believes Hector works best under pressure.
By Sabrina Knight — News Editor
As Ithaca College says goodbye to its vice president of finance and administration of 46 years, it welcomes a new administrator who will lead the college toward its financial future.
Gerald Hector assumed the position on July 1, succeeding Carl Sgrecci, who will officially retire at the end of the month. The two have been working together for two months.
Hector came to the United States in 1989 from Kingston, Jamaica, on a track and field scholarship to Howard University, where he studied business administration. He said he was offered a job working in public accounting at Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu Ltd. after graduation.
After nine years as vice president of business and finance at Johnson C. Smith University in Charlotte, N.C., Hector was encouraged by a colleague to apply for vice president of finance and administration at Ithaca College.
President Tom Rochon put together a search committee headed by Nancy Pringle, vice president and general counsel, comprising of two faculty members, one student, two senior-level administrators, one dean and one trustee, Pringle said.
There were more than 80 applicants for the position, Pringle said.
Rochon said he chose Hector for the position because of the extensiveness of his prior experience, his work ethic and his excellent performance.
"He engages particularly strongly when faced with a new challenge and a steep learning curve," Rochon said. "I knew that when he's faced with such a challenge he really rolls up his sleeves, learns new things and is really effective," Rochon said.
Since Hector began working in his new position in July, Rochon said all the qualities he hired Hector for have manifested working alongside Sgrecci.
Rochon said this overlap was purposeful, allowing for the two to have a working relationship as Hector prepares to take over for Sgrecci.
Hector agreed.
"It has afforded me the opportunity to be able to know, sit quietly in a very passionate way, then do my own thinking and self-assessment around 'This is what we've been doing, what are we going to keep doing the same way, is there anything that we need to change?'" Hector said." "It's not to recreate the wheel, but to see if there are any spokes missing or to see if there are any spokes tightening up. That has been very helpful for me, and it has been a very unique transition, and I do have a deep amount of respect for Carl and what he's been able to accomplish here at the college," Hector said.
In his term as president, Rochon has hired all except one vice president. He said he hired a new vice president to serve on a leadership team as well as to head the division and said he thinks Hector will fit very well into that team.
"So one part of the role that I know Mr. Hector will play very well is as a team member in the leadership team who understands that the purpose of Ithaca College is an educational purpose for students, and his job is to make sure we have the steady flow of resources and the effective allocation of resources in a budget that will enable us to achieve our educational mission," Rochon said.
Pringle said Hector is going to have a positive impact on the leadership team that is working to improve the college based on the IC 20/20 initiative.
"The campus community is going to be really pleased," Pringle said. "He's got a lot of energy and great experience and is really ready to be a part of the team here."
In his new position, Hector said he wants to be a member of a team that takes the college to the next level in providing quality education to young people for years to come.
"The goals are really just to see Ithaca College through to the future," Hector said. "Higher education today's changed in so many ways. It's going to continue to change, and Ithaca College is making some bold steps with the IC 20/20 plan."
"The goals are really just to see Ithaca College through to the future," Hector said. "It's a matter of higher education today's changed so many ways. It's going to continue to change and Ithaca College is making some bold steps with the IC 20/20 plan. So what I'd like to do is to be part of a team that is going to see that plan through to fruition and watch the university go to that next level … to provide quality education to its young people and that it's here for many many more years to come."
One of the goals Rochon said he has for Hector is to control the cost of tuition and fees for students.
"In the years ahead, we will have a very strong emphasis on significantly reducing the rate at which the cost for students goes up," Rochon said. "That will be a new challenge that the [chief financial officer] will face to find ways for us to still be the wonderful educational environment we are, and to do the things we need to do, but with a significantly lower increase in tuition and fees."
Hector said he is excited to continue working in higher education, because it is rewarding to see the long-term effects of his efforts on students.
"Here in higher education, you're actually getting to shape the future, and you're trying to produce those lives that will eventually carry on the world," Hector said.

As we've continued to build out much more complex Skuid pages across different objects (Lead, Lead tab, Opportunity, Account, Contact and now some custom objects), and as we've continue to grow our team so that we have multiple people collaborating on developing these pages, I've realized the need to be able to call "methods" if you will on performing the same actions in different places.
Is there a better way to do this? I suppose a Page Include is one way to go about it, but would that get excessive if I have a lot of scenarios like this? I'd also like to potentially have the ability to modify individual uses when necessary.
My ideal solution: have the ability to create a custom action type with all of the Basic settings, rendering options, search, filtering, etc. fully customizable. Then I can simply drag and click that action into the actions tab onto something like a pop-up, or drop a customized field into a field editor.
Would something like that be possible, or is there an alternative?


Android 8.0 creates a more seamless Bluetooth user experience when connecting devices to the in-vehicle infotainment system (IVI). The IVI listens for events, such as unlocking a car door or starting the engine, and automatically scans for in-range Bluetooth devices. It will also simultaneously connect to separate devices so users can make hands-free calls on any device.
In Android 7.x and earlier, the IVI Bluetooth stack scans for devices only when the Bluetooth adapter is powered on. Users have to connect manually if their device comes into range while the IVI Bluetooth is on. Android 8.0 reduces the need for users to manually connect their devices through the IVI settings app.
While the Bluetooth adapter is on and not connected to a device, customizable trigger events (such as unlocking the door or starting the engine) cause the IVI Bluetooth to scan for in-range devices to pair with on available profiles. The IVI Bluetooth then uses a priority list to determine which device to connect with.
In addition to the trigger events, you can specify the device priority for each profile. In the default implementation, the IVI Bluetooth prioritizes the most recently connected device. There is a separate priority list for each Bluetooth service, so each service profile can be connected to a different device. Each Bluetooth service profile also has a different connection limit.
To support auto-connect in Android 8.0, the Bluetooth connection management logic moved from the Bluetooth Service to a policy in Car Service. Within a policy, you can customize when the Bluetooth auto-connect should scan for new devices, and which devices it should attempt to connect to first.
You can view the default connection policy at service/src/com/android/car/BluetoothDeviceConnectionPolicy.java. To use a custom phone policy, disable the default phone policy in res/values/config.xml by setting enable_phone_policy to false.
Verify the behavior of the Bluetooth connection management by toggling Bluetooth on your Android Automotive IVI and see that it automatically connects to the appropriate devices.
In Android 8.0, the IVI can support multiple devices connected simultaneously over Bluetooth. Multi-device Bluetooth phone services let users connect separate devices, such as a personal phone and a work phone, and make hands-free calls from either device. This feature increases driving safety by reducing distraction and improves in-call experiences by taking advantage of automotive audio systems.
When a trigger event happens, the Bluetooth Connection Management Policy determines which devices to connect to on each Bluetooth profile. The policy then sends a connect intent to the profile client service. In turn, the profile client service creates a client state machine instance to manage the connection with each device.
The Bluetooth Hands-Free Profile (HFP) in Android 8.0 lets two devices connect concurrently, and either device can make or receive phone calls. To do this, each connection registers a separate phone account with the Telecom Manager, which advertises the phone accounts to the IVI apps.
When a user makes or receives a phone call from a device, the corresponding phone account creates an HfpClientConnection object. The Dialer app interacts with the HfpClientConnection object to manage call features, such as accepting a call or hanging up. However, the Dialer app does not indicate which device an incoming call is coming from. To make an outgoing call, the app uses the last connected device. Manufacturers can change this behavior by customizing the Dialer app.
The Bluetooth Phone Book Access Profile (PBAP) downloads contacts from all connected devices. PBAP maintains an aggregated, searchable list of contacts that is updated by PBAP client state machines. Because each device interacts with a separate PBAP client state machine, contacts are associated with the proper device when making a call. When a PBAP client disconnects, the internal database removes all contacts associated with that phone.
Using the default Android Bluetooth stack, an IVI automatically has the ability to connect to multiple devices on HFP. The MAX_STATE_MACHINES_POSSIBLE in the HeadsetClientService defines the maximum number of simultaneous HFP connections.
Note: HFP Synchronous Connection Oriented (SCO) connections and phone call audio routing need to be done manually with connectAudio in the application Binder.
When implementing multi-device HFP, you should customize your Dialer app UI to let users select which device account to use when making a call. The app then calls telecomManager.placeCall with the correct account.
Using Bluetooth, connect a device to the IVI and stream audio from the device.
Connect two phones to the IVI over Bluetooth.
Pick one phone. Place an outgoing call directly from the phone, and place an outgoing call using the IVI.
Both times, verify the streamed audio pauses and the phone audio plays over the IVI connected speakers.
Using the same phone, receive an incoming call directly on the phone, and receive an incoming call using the IVI.
Both times, verify the stream audio pauses and the phone audio plays over the IVI connected speakers.
Repeat steps 3 and 4 with the other connected phone.
Note: The Bluetooth PBAP profile, like the MAP profile, is unidirectional. To connect a device on these profiles, the connection needs to be instantiated from the IVI and not the source device.

By now, it's no secret that I really freaking love cities. This weekend I got to go back to Chicago with this wonderful group of people.
Being there refreshed my love for all things urban. I had forgotten how much I love the busyness of cities. I love walking instead of driving. I love the streets bustling with people. I love the buzz of creative energy. I love the perpetual newness and sense of possibility.
We were in town for the College Media Association's National College Media Convention. They'd heard about a little redesign we did last year, and asked us to share about our experiences and give tips to other newspapers looking to do a similar thing.
Speaking at the conference was a thrill, and the weekend reminded me why I'm so blessed to be in Asbury's award-winning journalism department. I can't believe everything that happened last year. I got to work with a brilliant team and establish a new personality for The Collegian. Then I got to go with the very same journalism department to report on the Olympics in London. I'd never have guessed when I took my first journalism class sophomore year that it would lead to all of this and set me on a completely new career path.
I'm simultaneously excited for and terrified of life after college, but as I look ahead to grad school, I'm holding on to moments like this and reminding myself that the Lord is the one who guides my steps.
I'm a college senior, studying English and journalism at Asbury University. I love poetry, pearls, and all things pretty.
I believe in wearing bright colors and big headbands. I love cardigans, sundresses, and high heels. I believe a good set of pearls can take a girl anywhere, and I want to go everywhere.

(File photo)
Two boys, ages 17 and 15, are in trouble with the law after allegedly stealing Wilmington Mayor Dennis Williams' SUV.
Wilmington police were called to the 3400 block of N. Madison Street at 6:30 p.m., Tuesday night, where the car was reported stolen. The 2004 Chevrolet Blazer belonging to Mayor Williams was parked and unoccupied outside of his home at the time it was lifted.
Minutes later, police noticed the SUV driving through the intersection of 11th and N. Spruce Streets, and stopped the vehicle in the 1000 block of N. Pine Street.
The 17-year-old driver tried to run, police said, but failed to put the stolen truck in park. The Blazer crashed into a parked car before coming to a stop. The suspect was apprehended immediately.
The 15-year-old passenger was arrested without incident.
Both teens were booked with stealing a car and receiving stolen property over $1,500; the older one was also charged with resisting arrest and driving without a license.
The 17-year-old was committed to the New Castle County Detention center in lieu of $5,500 secured bail. The 15-year-old was released to his parents on $4,000.00 Unsecured bail.

Corneal Conditions
Corneal Abrasion
The cornea is the clear front window of the eye. It covers the iris (the colored portion of the eye) and the round pupil. The cornea is composed of five layers. The outermost layer is called the epithelium.
Injuries to the epithelium, such as scratches, cuts, or scrapes, are known as corneal abrasions. Usually, these injuries are caused by fingernail scratches, makeup brushes, paper cuts, or rubbing of the eyes. Sometimes conditions like dry eye can cause abrasions. Symptoms associated with corneal abrasions include tearing, redness, pain, soreness, and blurred vision.
Treatment options for corneal abrasions include patching the injured eye, dilating pupils to relieve pain, wearing special contact lenses that promote healing, taking antibiotics to prevent infection, and using lubricating eyedrops.
Minor abrasions usually heal within a day or two, while larger abrasions take about a week.
Corneal Erosion
Corneal erosion is caused by a loose attachment of the epithelium to the underlying tissue. This often happens at the site of an earlier abrasion. Some patients have an underlying condition called "map-dot-fingerprint dystrophy" that predisposes them to having recurrent corneal erosions.
Symptoms of corneal erosion are similar to those of abrasions: pain, soreness, redness, and blurred vision.
Treatment is the same as for corneal abrasion and may also include saline solution eyedrops or ointments. However, if the erosion keeps occurring, further treatment may be necessary. These treatments may include procedures to remove the damaged epithelium, removal of corneal cells using a laser, or performing an anterior stromal puncture, which involves making tiny holes on the surface of the cornea to promote stronger attachments between the top layer of corneal cells and the layer of the cornea underneath.

Q: return var-type variable I has some method, for example:
    public VAR GetAllPosts()
    {
        var post = from p in _db.Posts  select p;
        return post;
    }

How return var-type variable?

A: You can have it object, however you still will have to cast it to use it appropriately. dynamic is another option, but might be more trouble than its worth.
I think what you might want is IQueryable<T> where T is the type of Posts.

A: Based on your code, you know it's going to be a enumeration of Posts, so return
public IEnumerable<Posts> GetAllPosts()
    {
        var post = from p in _db.Posts  select p;
        return post;
    }

or
public IEnumerable<Posts> GetAllPosts()
    {
        return from p in _db.Posts  select p;
    }

If you want to go hardcore you could use something like this, this is a generic type of T, you have to call the method with the desired type and inside it validate the type and do what you like.
  public List<T> GetData<T>()
  {
      //Validate the type and do something
      if (typeof(T) == typeof(MyClass))
      {
         List<MyClass> lst = new List<MyClass>();
         lst.Add(new MyClass { ClassProperty = "Value" });

         return lst as List<T>;
     }
     else // do something else
     {
       return null;
     }
   }

To call this method you pass the correct type
List<MyClass> list = GetData<MyClass>();

Hope it helps.

A: var is not a type, so can not be returned.
If you  are uncertain about return type, return object (like Daniel suggests), if it can be more then one type, return thier base type, if any.
In your concrete case, seems, that you are trying to return IEnumerable<T> of the objects in _db.Posts

Twitter goes crazy as Virat Kohli knocks an unbelievable 166* in the third ODI between India and Sri Lanka.
In the third and final ODI against Sri Lanka on Sunday at the Greenfield Stadium in Thiruvananthapuram, Virat Kohli was in imperious form, slamming unbeaten innings of 166 runs off 110 balls as he assisted India in posting 390 for five in 50 overs. The 34-year-explosive old's innings included 13 fours and 8 sixes. Shubman Gill, the opener, who also had a tonne of catches, provided excellent assistance for him. With 14 fours and two sixes, Gill scored 116 runs off 97 balls.
Another significant contribution came from captain Rohit Sharma, who scored 42 runs off 49 balls while hitting two fours and three sixes. Shreyas Iyer scored 38 runs off 32 balls in the meanwhile. KL Rahul, a wicketkeeper-batter, was only able to contribute seven runs to the scoreboard in the previous game, while Suryakumar Yadav could only conjure four runs off four deliveries.
After India's innings, in which they set a goal of 391 runs, supporters gushed over Virat Kohli on Twitter. One supporter said, "Virat Kohli, thanks for making 100s boring once again."
Former player Yuvraj Singh said in the meanwhile, "Well done, @ShubmanGill. Hopefully, this will lead to a solid @imVkohli batting performance at the other end! Concern for me, however, is a half-empty stadium. Is cricket becoming extinct one day? #IndiavsSrilanka."
One supporter said, "King Kohli's dominance at Kerala, 166* runs from only 110 balls, Take a bow, GOAT."
Added another admirer, "Virat Kohli put on a show, scoring 166* in only 110 balls, with 13 fours and 8 sixes. What an inning, and what a player! King Kohli, bend down!"
Another commented, saying, "Comparing Virat Kohli with a man like Babar Azam is a shame to cricket."
Kasun Rajitha, who bowled for Sri Lanka, claimed two wickets but gave up 81 runs in 10 overs. Lahiru Kumara, who had two dismissals and gave up 87 runs in 10 overs, was also involved. In eight overs and one wicket, Chamika Karunaratne gave up 58 runs.
