Since I'm still new to the Tucson job, it's the first time I've been around for such an event. Apparently this place does potlucks, dubbed "the graze" because people are picking at crap all day, twice a year. The second one, predictably, falls before Christmas. I didn't know the nuances yet: who brought chips, who hogged all the mini-meatballs, what way most people swing whether it be savory or sweet. I didn't have a whole ton of time, either. Finding out on Monday meant all prep would have to be done on Tuesday night after getting home. And I don't know if I've mentioned this, but I am extremely cranky and unmotivated on weeknights.
As I am getting way up there in years nowadays, or at least have enough solid years of tenure on my resume to look sort-of-not-stupid at last, I have developed guidelines. Rules, if you will. A few strategies that tend to snag wins at company potlucks. It's not usually a contest... they say. But I'm a competitive contributor. I want to have the dish emptied first, the recipe requested most, and most of all I am a clone of every other writer you'll meet. I have a pathological need to be loved.
My selection of a Cornbread Trifle, a colorful cool salad served in the old trusty trifle bowl, can be understood by following these important rules.
1. Go cold or room-temperature. I found a really neat recipe on Pinterest for Tamale Hand Pies. Yeah, you know. One of those adorable things you make in a muffin tin. If you all were coming over for a party at my house, where I could pop these right out of the oven, then they'd be a great choice. But I've only worked in one office with a legit kitchen, and it was a food distribution company. Who knew. I don't care how well you wrap a casserole dish in tinfoil. By the time you get it to your office, people get hungry for lunch and start picking at your dish, it's going to be congealed and gross. The industrious will perhaps microwave their portions, but we all know that's not going to taste an ounce as good as it did when it was fresh. Let it stay fresh by keeping it the fridge or at room temp. The exception would be a great Crock-Pot recipe, but this can be tricky, since you don't have all day to let stuff cook. Plus those things are a bear to lug around.
2. Don't bring pasta salad. Or its modern-day, ever-growing equivalent, quinoa salad. Everybody does. And they're boring. And fail to ever taste great.
3. Bring a dish that doesn't look like Tupperware you bought at a party in 1983. This is supposed to be a party! Or at least a slight diversion to keep shrinking middle-class America from FoxConn levels of despair. Bring your food in something pretty, or at least attractive. It helps with that whole eat-with-your-eyes first concept when you're staring down the buffet line. And everything tastes better when it's not retrieved from an olive green, half-melted plastic trough.
4. Don't you dare lazy out! Yeah, you. The one grabbing that cheap plastic carton of grocery store "cookies" that might as well be whimsically cut cardboard with sprinkles. Or the one bringing that veggie tray with carrot sticks, withered snap peas, and watery ranch dressing. You give everyone putting a half-ounce of effort into this thing a bad trade, and are totes not holding up your end of the bargain as you scoop up our delicious offerings. If you ARE going to buy something pre-made, buy something that has flavor and interest, like those sorbets they sell at Costco served in the hollowed-out fruits. Or an upscale deli salad that doesn't taste like preservatives with a side of soggy noodles. You don't have to be an amazing cook to either create or pick out something appetizing. My friend makes brownies with Ghirardelli chocolate mix. And that stuff is yumTASTIC.
5. Make a fun ingredient posty. With everyone eschewing bread and animals, an ingredient advisory is an unsaid necessity. That doesn't mean you can't be interesting. People get chatty about anything slightly different.
So did I win the potluck? I like to think so. Why don't you make a lovely version and see how it goes over.
In a trifle or large glass bowl, arrange a solid layer of cornbread chunks. Top first with half of the lettuce, half the black beans, 1/2 cup Ranch dressing, 1/2 cup sharp cheddar cheese, the bacon, 1/2 cup corn kernels, and 1/2 of the chiles. Arrange the halved cherry tomatoes around the top of the layer, as shown in the picture. Add the 2nd layer of cornbread, and the remaining ingredients, topping with the chicken and another row of tomato halves. Garnish with a sprig of cilantro. Chill at least 4 hours before serving, or overnight.

Home Entertainment Veteran Jamaican Reggae Artist U-Roy Has Died
Veteran Jamaican Reggae Artist U-Roy Has Died
CNW Reporter
The famous voice that brought reggae fans around the world, "wake the town and tell the people", U-Roy has died.
His death was announced on February 17. He was 78-years-old.
U-Roy, born Ewart Beckford, was known as the pioneer of toasting. Although he was not the creator of the style, he is credited for popularizing it on reggae rhythms in the 1960s. Toasting is a style of lyrical chanting which, in reggae/dancehall music, involves a deejay "chanting" (talking) over a riddim. Jamaican-American toaster DJ Kool Herc brought the style of music to America and it became the blueprint for hip hop music.
U-Roy was known as "the originator" and a true pioneer of the current dancehall and reggae sound.
His career began as a DJ in 1961. He worked with several producers including Keith Hudson and Lee "Scratch" Perry. In 1970, Jamaican singer John Holt, who was lead vocalist of the Paragons at the time, heard U-Roy toasting over a track produced by record label owner, Duke Reid. Holt told Reid about the performance and U-Roy later snagged a recording deal.

His first two singles released on Reid's Treasure Isle label, "Wake the Town" (1970) and "Wear You to the Ball" (1970), were Jamaican hits and established his reputation as one of Jamaica's most popular toasters.
In 1975, his album Dread in a Babylon was released in the US, Europe and Jamaica by popular British label, Virgin Records. The album achieved significant sales in the UK.

The success of Dread in a Babylon led to a series of Tony Robinson-produced albums: Natty Rebel (1976), Rasta Ambassador (1977) and Jah Son of Africa (1978). U-Roy's international popularity led to the album Natty Rebel being released in 1976 on Virgins' imprint Front Line label in Nigeria as well as in France on Virgin and Polydor.
In 1978, U-Roy started his own sound system which he named Stur Gav, after his sons. The sound system would launch the careers of a younger generation of toasters and singers including Ranking Joe, Super Cat, Jah Screw, Charlie Chaplin and Josey Wales.
In 2007, the Jamaican deejay was awarded the Order of Distinction by the Jamaican government for his contribution to music.
In reacting to the news of this death, Jamaican-American artist Shaggy hailed U-Roy as "one of Jamaica's music heroes".
In a post on Instagram, he said, "A true legend in this game of dance hall/ Reggae if your (sic) a fan of sound system, then your a fan of Stur Gav sound. With such greats as Colonel Josey Whales (sic) and Charlie Chaplin, pioneers in this game … with a catalogue of amazing recordings U Roy was a master at his craft. Rest Well daddy Roy!! R.I.P. walk good."

Sometimes you just got it goin' on, and when you do, you want to look as good as you feel. Enter this black men's rabbit fur jacket by FRR. Its sporty style is as stunning as it is comfortable.

One interior pocket plus two side-entry pockets give you plenty of places to stash away your gloves, business cards, and cell phones. The leather-detailed metal zipper and satin-lined interior complete this jacket's makeup.


Climbing Mount Everest is hard. Climbing Mount Everest blind is ... impossible. Or at least that's what they told Erik Weihenmayer.This incredible true story follows Erik's quest to reach the summit of the tallest peak in the world - and the amazing team that made it possible.
Altitude: 29,029 feet, the highest mountain on Earth.
Extreme conditions have defeated scores of climbers.
For every six who summit, one doesn't survive.
Erik Weihenmayer has never believed in limitations - even though he is blind. And he's good at questioning other people's perceptions of his abilities. That's why it was easy to ignore the ones who said he was crazy to pursue his dream of climbing Mount Everest. Erik knew that he couldn't do it alone. And here's the key - he never wanted to. He knew that his vision could only be achieved through the power of teamwork.

"Declined For Paypal Credit Card "
Congrats on your approval and for not giving up!
Congrats, I was denied for the MasterCard and they didn't offer the buyer credit either.
This is a good starting point and "spring-board" for the MC account. I too was declined last year for the PP Mastecard and got the buyer credit. I closed my buyer credit a few months ago, and was approved for the Paypal Mastercard. It will come... Just wait a few months.

Home / Brief / Senate office building gets legal green light
The crescent-shape building with a courtyard facing the Capitol will have offices for legislative staff and all 67 senators. (Submitted rendering: state of Minnesota)
Senate office building gets legal green light
By: The Associated Press	June 5, 2014 1:27 pm
The Minnesota Supreme Court removed a legal barrier Thursday that threatened to block or delay a new government office building for state senators.
The decision effectively ends a court fight that could have indefinitely postponed groundbreaking on the four-story building to be erected near the Capitol. It is projected to cost $90 million, with taxpayers covering all but $13 million.
If construction starts next month, the 166,000-square-foot building with an underground parking deck should be ready for use in November 2015.
Former Republican Rep. Jim Knoblach of St. Cloud was suing to stop it on the grounds that the original legislative approval was faulty. But he couldn't convince the courts to let the case proceed without his guarantee to cover the cost of delays if he lost. An appeals court ruling had required him to post an $11 million surety bond by late May, which he said he wasn't able to do. He asked the Supreme Court to quickly step in, prompting the order.
"The only issue Knoblach raises in his current petition is whether the court of appeals abused its discretion by ordering him to post a surety bond without findings of facts and without identifying the protected public interest," Chief Justice Lorie Gildea wrote for the high court. "This issue does not satisfy the criteria for review in our court."
Knoblach's attorney, Erick Kaardal, was disappointed the case wasn't fully aired before the high court because of a financial guarantee his client couldn't satisfy.
The building has been a political flashpoint. Republicans say it represents misplaced priorities while Democrats say the structure is needed to relieve crowding in the Capitol, which is undergoing a massive renovation.
The crescent-shape building with a courtyard facing the Capitol will have offices for legislative staff and all 67 senators. Those lawmakers are currently split between the Capitol for the majority party and a House office building for the minority. It will also contain larger public hearing rooms and serve as the temporary chambers when the Senate's side of the Capitol is being redone.
Details about how soon construction will move forward are still being worked out by the Department of Administration and the Department Minnesota Management and Budget, which respectively will oversee the project and sell the bonds.

Q: Cannot store files on Heroku using Laravel I deployed a simple Laravel (v5.7) app on Heroku with this config:
filesystems.php:
'public' => [
    'driver' => 'local',
    'root' => storage_path('app/public'), /* app/storage/app/public */
    'url' => env('PUBLIC_STORAGE_URL'), /* http://myApp.herokuapp.com/public/storage */
    'visibility' => 'public',
],

Heroku tree:
app
    Procfile
    app
    database
    storage
        app
            public
    public
        storage  /* symlink to /app/storage/app/public */

The application works fine on Heroku except I cannot upload files to the public storage folder while it works fine locally.
I am using the following code:
request()->file($userSelectedFile)->store($userFolderName);

An example generated path looks like:
http://myApp.herokuapp.com/public/storage/userFolderName/kwooAGW0CrChzDbUUhOdSXsoLDI99rd1enPd22ZU.png

but no file is created in app/storage/app/public/.
How can I handle user uploads properly on Heroku?

A: Heroku provides an ephemeral filesystem. It can be used for temporary storage, but anything saved there will be lost when your dynos restart. This happens frequently (at least once per day).
If you need long-term storage, Heroku recommends using a third-party service like Amazon S3. Laravel supports this approach natively:

Laravel provides a powerful filesystem abstraction thanks to the wonderful Flysystem PHP package by Frank de Jonge. The Laravel Flysystem integration provides simple to use drivers for working with local filesystems, Amazon S3, and Rackspace Cloud Storage. Even better, it's amazingly simple to switch between these storage options as the API remains the same for each system.

Assuming you want to use S3, add league/flysystem-aws-s3-v3 and league/flysystem-cached-adapter to your dependencies, then update your config/filesystems.php accordingly. There should be a sample S3 configuration in there already.

Step Turn on your iPhone and tap on Mail on the home screen. Phone user, or are you on another network? I changed my password, I've attempted setting up Yahoo Mail on another iphone. Step 2: Scroll down and touch the Mail, Contacts, Calendars button. I'm not sure if some of my image-rich messages loaded in full because I've marked the sender as safe, but in the stock Mail app, the same messages appear as having broken images. Use a Siri Shortcut to quickly access your travel itinerary. Only top-rated, curated apps and games! Mail for iPhone free , may have arrived a little too late to stem the Gmail tide, it helps Yahoo's cause by delivering a much richer email experience than the one iPhone owners are accustomed to in the bundled Mail app.
Yahoo did ask me to reply if that didn't work. As you'd probably guess, this is something already available in the Gmail app. The company sought to improve attachments by allowing you to send photos and emails right in the message, rather than as an attachment at the bottom. New for the latest update of the Yahoo Mail is is the ability to mark what the service has shunted to the Spam folder as not spam and have it delivered to the inbox. This will also update names in your call history or when you dial the phone, Yahoo says. And to answer the earlier question, it won't let me add the account as now previously discussed because it says I have an incorrect username and password. I certainly hope that your company does not think that we are stupid enough to think that this was just a coincidence.
No Yahoo email address required. Was working then two days ago all of a sudden stopped working. You can also set up a Yahoo account in the Yahoo Mail app for iPhone, released by Yahoo in late 2017. I never went had to go through the agonizing task of contacting every credit card, Doctor's office or service company to change my email address. Also being able to select one sender and manage all emails from that sender at once, including reading the history collectively and being able to delete emails, was the best and most useful feature of this app. This is a seperate issue from the one with the non-alphanumeric problem. I really think this may be a Yahoo issue.
I get messages saying wrong password or username. Follow the stocks you care about most and get personalized news and alerts. It's not often you come across a new app that deserves consideration for a spot on your iPhone's home screen, but the new Yahoo Weather for most likely will have people giving your current weather apps the boot. Yahoo wants to get more people to use its long-running Yahoo Mail service celebrating its 18th birthday this month. Just because I am a Senior Citizen they should not automatically assume that I cannot see red flags going up when I am asked to give personal information when it is not necessary.
The app will upload photos in their original size for screenshots and 1600px for all other images. When you first install the app and log in, you can opt to receive push notifications, which Yahoo! If you like this video, share it with your friends. If you choose to upgrade to Yahoo Mail Pro, this just gives you an ad-free experience. Any other tips or advice would help here. Also, there are ads at the top and bubbles with pictures and stars and it looks really cluttered. The company has improved how you search by sender, and it offers smart suggestions. But you are probably still receiving emails to that account, which you no longer want to see on your iPhone.
If someone could please contact me and let me know how to remedy this problem without having to spend more money. When I scroll down to read additional news headlines, the scroll pane jumps around every few seconds as I am reading the headlines. Any advice on how to remedy this, and delete some contacts? You can download the app from App Store and install it on your device. Hope you will go back to what you used to share. Are you saying there is a way to make an app that will do this? Note that deleting your Yahoo email account from your iPhone will not delete your Yahoo email account. . Step 1: Touch the Settings icon.
Hi, me too I have the exact same problem, my yahoo mail was working well since August 2008 and suddenly a couple of days ago it complains from wrong user id or password, i haven't change them, my yahoo works well on the web. Password doens't contain any special characters only alpha-numeric 6. I'm not sure why there is a yahoo app that does not have this feature. We appreciate all your feedback and thank you for choosing to use Yahoo Finance. The shortcut doesn't help when I want to add photos from my iPhone. At the bottom of the screen, click Delete Account.
You can download the app for free from Google Play. The account is still listed in your list of mailboxes in the Mail App with the word inactive under it. You can get the app on App Store. If you tap on the dots the total will appear. All software names, brands, company names, registered and well-known trademarks mentioned on Freepps. I have the same issue and tried everything I could think of. With the app, in addition to reading and replying to your email, you can:.
Very very disappointed, without that the app just seems to be just another app not the one that used to be so special. They stated on a previous email that this is a known issue with Messenger. Could be a Yahoo issue, but how do you get into contact with them? Today, the company is rolling out a few changes to that service in an effort to boost adoption of the Yahoo Mail mobile app. We update the app regularly to make your email experience the best it can be. I have thousands of spam emails that are not going to a spam folder and thousands of retailer emails that I don't necessarily want to read. You then select the push notification, open the app, which asks you if you are attempting to log in.

The Dynamics of Income: Celebrating 50 years of the PSID
Friday, Jan. 5, 2018 10:15 AM - 12:15 PM
Marriott Philadelphia Downtown, Grand Ballroom Salon I
Chair: David Johnson, University of Michigan
Economic Volatility and the PSID: A Record of Seminal Research
Peter Gottschalk
Robert A. Moffitt
Sisi Zhang
We start by reviewing the advantages and disadvantages of the Michigan Panel Study of Income Dynamics (PSID) for studying the extent of economic volatility. The PSID has major advantages for the study of economic volatility because of its length, its rules for following household members, and the comprehensiveness of its collection of demographic and economic characteristics of the family. The PSID does have some disadvantages relative to some other survey data sets and relative to administrative data sets which have much larger sample sizes, although those data sets usually lack the rich individual and family demographic variables available in the PSID. Second, we review some of the studies that have examined volatility with the PSID over the years. Early studies of both economic and demographic volatility were perhaps the first to reveal a startlingly high level of dynamism, mobility, but also instability and turbulence, in the lives of American families. We also review in much more detail the many studies of the volatility of earnings and income with the PSID and show that it has made major contributions, both methodological and substantive, to that literature over the last 40 years. A comparison of findings specifically on trends in U.S. volatility found in the PSID to trends found in other data sets show some common indications of rising volatility from the 1970s to the 1980s, followed by either a slowdown in the upward trend, a leveling off, or a decline, depending on the data set. In addition to disagreement on which of these post-1980s trends occurred, agreement on the earlier trends is also not completely universal. Finally, we conduct a new analysis of the volatility of male earnings in the PSID through 2014, finding that both gross volatility and the component consisting of only variance of transitory shocks have experienced a large increase during the Great Recession after following similar trends to those previously established showing upward trends from the 1970s to the 1980s followed by a stable period.

We highlight the important role the PSID has played in the development of our understanding of income dynamics and partial insurance. We examine alternative ways of modeling income persistence and focus on the nonlinear nature of income shocks. We explore a new quantile-based panel data framework, in which the persistence of past income shocks is allowed to vary according to the size and sign of the current shock. We show this approach matches the data well and, exploiting the enhanced consumption and asset data in recent waves of the PSID, show it also has key implications for consumption insurance. We confirm the results on income dynamics using the extensive population register data from Norway. The approach is used to provide new empirical measures of partial insurance in which the transmission of income shocks to consumption varies systematically with assets, the level of the shock and the history of past shocks.
Recent Trends in the Variability of Men's Earnings: Evidence From Administrative and Survey Data
Emily Wiemers
Despite the rise in cross-sectional inequality since the late 1990s, the literature on earnings instability shows little consensus on trends during this period. Using consistent samples and methods in administrative and survey data, we examine earnings instability for men from 1978 through 2011, estimating simple measures of earnings volatility and error components models of earnings. We find that earnings instability increased after the mid 1990s, with increases that are nearly as large as the increases in the 1970s and 1980s. The increase occurs in both survey and administrative data and is driven largely by increases in transitory earnings variability.
How Much Consumption Insurance in the United States?
Dmytro Hryshko
Iourii Manovskii
Most of what the profession knows about joint income and consumption dynamics at the household level in the U.S. is based on the data from the Panel Study of Income Dynamics (PSID). We find that there are two sets of households in the PSID that differ dramatically in the dynamics of their income and consumption. Households headed by the original PSID males and their sons have a highly persistent income process, and permanent shocks to their incomes almost fully pass through to consumption. Households headed by males who marry daughters of the original PSID members have a much less persistent income process and a dramatically higher degree of consumption insurance. These differences are surprising but highly robust. Conditional on income dynamics, the degree of insurance in each subsample is consistent with the prediction of the standard incomplete-markets model. This result stands in contrast to the famous puzzle in Blundell, Pistaferri, and Preston (2008) of excess insurance of permanent income shocks for the combined sample.

Mom's On Strike in the Black-Eyed Susan, Nyquist in Preakness
"Value" is a term revered by many horseplayers and public handicappers, but even as a fan of long-shots sometimes the "free square" is the best value in multirace wagers.
Such was the case two weeks ago, where I keyed long-shot Shagaf in my Derby wagers but still came out ahead in hitting back-up Oaks-Derby double and Derby trifecta bets by using Nyquist as well.
The Black-Eyed Susan/Preakness double poses a similar scenario, where Nyquist appears to be a shoe-in to go for the Triple Crown in three weeks in the Belmont Stakes.
Save for Cherry Wine, the "new shooters" (non-Derby horses) are unappealing, and with Exaggerator 0-for-4 against Nyquist, he's an underneath horse on my tickets until proving otherwise.
Regardless of conditions, Nyquist is the classiest 3-year-old of the bunch and both can handle a wet track (Saturday's forecast for Pimlico is grim) and either win on or just off the pace.
Drawn inside the "need-the-lead" types, I sense Mario Gutierrez can use Nyquist's tactical speed to either place forwardly or force the outer flow even wider out on the track, similar to Victor Espinoza's astute ride in California Chrome's 2014 Preakness victory, and make it to the finish line first.
Nyquist will be a "single" for me in allocating a small bankroll to the Friday-Saturday card.

In terms of playing the Black-Eyed Susan/Preakness double, I will make a $10 straight double, identifying Mom's On Strike (#14) as a very playable long-shot in the Black-Eyed Susan and pairing her with Nyquist (#3).
Contrary to my view that the Derby runners in Saturday's Preakness will maintain their form against middling rivals, I have doubts about the two Black-Eyed Susan favorites (based on first odds) winning -- Land Over Sea (#3, 2-to-1) and Go Maggie Go (#5, 5-to-2).
Cathryn Sophia exposed these horses in the Kentucky Oaks as a lesser cut, in my opinion, and the short turnaround (two weeks) between Grade 1 stakes races poses the potential that the odds maker's choices could fall flat on Friday afternoon (4:50 p.m. ET post time; NBCSN coverage starts 3 p.m.).
In a 14-horse (scheduled) field where two runners have yet to win a race and a third won twice exclusively by disqualification, the Black-Eyed Susan screams long-shot.
Mom's On Strike makes sense at 15-to-1
The primary concern is that Friday represents Mom's first race against winners -- the equivalent of winning your club pro championship in golf or tennis and next finding yourself in match play versus Jordan Spieth or Roger Federer. The jump from "maiden" victory to Grade 2 stakes is huge, but video replays suggest this horse has a world of hope to pick up the pieces late on Friday.
And none of the opponents are of the caliber of Messrs. Spieth or Federer.
A lightly-raced filly, Mom's On Strike got her first victory in her second lifetime race at Oaklawn Park on April 16 and stalked a slow pace before wearing down the leader. The speed figures were nothing to write home about, but her prior effort on debut at Fairgrounds on March 17 was far more impressive and telling, in my opinion.
Mom's On Strike ran third that afternoon against eight other non-winners in a six-furlong sprint, but she was bumped very hard a half-dozen times out of the gate and settled so far back before missing a second-place finish by a neck.
The winner of that race came back with a decent effort against a good allowance field at Keeneland, beaten by a horse from trainer Joe Sharp's barn; Sharp is the trainer of Mom's On Strike.
Generally I am not a big "gallop out" proponent, but the race replay gives a clear indication that the horse wanted to continue running, as evidenced on April 16, and could prove a late factor in a Black-Eyed Susan where I sense the pace will be modest and no one else jumps off the racing form.
To recap, here's where I'm likely to wager on the Black-Eyed Susan:
$10 Black-Eyed Susan-Preakness double: Mom's on Strike (14) with Nyquist (3)
Black-Eyed Susan exacta and trifecta box key: Mom's on Strike (14) with Dothraki Queen (2), Land Over Sea (3) and Go Maggie Go (5)
Consistent with my Derby handicapping, here's a list of positions where I think certain horses could finish first through fourth, but anticipate maybe just a small trifecta or superfecta wager and reserve judgement on Saturday's forecast before determining bankroll; my range is $50-$100 in total.
1 -- Nyquist (3)
2 -- Cherry Wine (1), Exaggerator (5)
3 -- Cherry Wine (1), Exaggerator (5), Fellowship (10)
4 -- Cherry Wine (1), Exaggerator (5), Lani (6), Collected (7), Fellowship (10)

For our twentieth anniversary, we'd like to share our extra virgin olive oil inside the prism tin.
"Villajos 20th Anniversary extra virgin olive oil ", Our best Villajos extra virgin olive oil inside the most appropriate tin to keep the attributes of our oil. Enjoy it!
For us the year 2015 is not any year: we've been doing what we like for 20 years long, satisfying our consumers with our oils and cheeses.
Through our main trademark, VILLAJOS, we'd like to offer our consumers the launch of the Villajos 20th Anniversary extra virgin olive oil of 750ml in an innovative prism tin which perfectly combines our oil's supreme quality with a great preservation capacity against the light. It is very easy to use and avoids spillages. It also has a stopper with a ringpull very useful to open it and also a comfortable hinge to close it.
During the tests to check the storage and preserving capacities of the extra virgin olive oil depending on the material it is preserved in, it has been found that usually after 190 days the product starts losing its properties. Nevertheless, our Villajos 20th Anniversary tin keeps the organoleptic properties at its best level, even better than the glass or the polyethylene do.
It is an inert tin which does not react with the oil and does not contaminates it with strange smells or flavours.
It also benefits its resistance during transport and usage at home.
It is resistant to the atmospheric humidity and oxygen.
It protects the oil from the light and the temperature changes.
It facilitates the opening, closing and usage to the consumer.
On the other hand, for our twentieth anniversary, we'd also like to share our extra virgin olive oil inside the 500ml dark glass Doric bottle.
We'd like to accompany the Villajos 20th Anniversary extra virgin olive oil with a 500ml presentation in DARK GLASS DORIC BOTTLE.
The dark glass Doric bottle enables a better preservation of the oil because it protects it from the light. This quality glass is the best guarantee for the best extra virgin olive oil.
It also benefits its usage at home.
It protects the oil from the temperature changes.
Good preservation of the organoleptic properties against the exposure to the light and the temperature changes.

Q: FileInfo returning wrong value? Okay, so I'm working in VB.NET, manually writing error logs to log files (yes, I know, I didn't make the call). Now, if the files are over an arbitrary size, when the function goes to write out the new error data, it should start a new file with a new file name.
Here's the function:
        Dim listener As New Logging.FileLogTraceListener
        listener.CustomLocation = System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.AppSettings("LogDir")
        Dim loc As String = DateTime.UtcNow.Year.ToString + DateTime.UtcNow.Month.ToString + DateTime.UtcNow.Day.ToString + DateTime.UtcNow.Hour.ToString + DateTime.UtcNow.Minute.ToString

        listener.BaseFileName = loc

        Dim logFolder As String
        Dim source As String

        logFolder = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings("LogDir")
        If ex.Data.Item("Source") Is Nothing Then
            source = ex.Source
        Else
            source = ex.Data.Item("Source").ToString
        End If

        Dim errorFileInfo As New FileInfo(listener.FullLogFileName)

        Dim errorLengthInBytes As Long = errorFileInfo.Length

        If (errorLengthInBytes > CType(System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.AppSettings("maxFileSizeInBytes"), Long)) Then

            listener.BaseFileName = listener.BaseFileName + "1"

        End If

        Dim msg As New System.Text.StringBuilder
        If String.IsNullOrEmpty(logFolder) Then logFolder = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings("LogDir")

        msg.Append(vbCrLf & "Exception" & vbCrLf)
        msg.Append(vbTab & String.Concat("App: AppMonitor | Time: ", Date.Now.ToString) & vbCrLf)
        msg.Append(vbTab & String.Concat("Source: ", source, " | Message: ", ex.Message) & vbCrLf)
        msg.Append(vbTab & "Stack: " & ex.StackTrace & vbCrLf)

        listener.Write(msg.ToString())
        listener.Flush()

        listener.Close()

I have this executing in a loop for testing purposes, so I can see what happens when it gets (say) 10000 errors in all at once. Again, I know there are better ways to handle this systemically, but this was the code I was told to implement.
How can I reliably get the size of the log file before writing to it, as I try to do above?

A: Well, as with many things, the answer to this turned out to be "did you read your own code closely" with a side order of "eat something, you need to fix your blood sugar."
On review, I saw that I was always checking BaseFileName and, if it was over the arbitrary limit, appending a character and writing to that file. What I didn't do was check to see if that file or, indeed, other more recent files existed. I've solved the issue be grabbing a directory list of all the files matching the "BaseFileName*" argument in Directory.GetFiles and selecting the most recently accessed one. That ensures that the logger will always select the more current file to write to or -if necessary- use as the base-name for another appended character.
Here's that code:
        Dim directoryFiles() As String = Directory.GetFiles(listener.Location.ToString(), listener.BaseFileName + "*")

        Dim targetFile As String = directoryFiles(0)

        For j As Integer = 1 To directoryFiles.Count - 1 Step 1
            Dim targetFileInfo As New FileInfo(targetFile)
            Dim compareInfo As New FileInfo(directoryFiles(j))

            If (targetFileInfo.LastAccessTimeUtc < compareInfo.LastAccessTimeUtc) Then
                targetFile = directoryFiles(j)
            End If
        Next

        Dim errorFileInfo As New FileInfo(listener.Location.ToString() + targetFile)
        Dim errorLengthInBytes As Long = errorFileInfo.Length

Fiddlers Three (em português três Violinistas) é uma peça que foi dirigida por Allan Davis, e escrita por Agatha Christie em 1972. Inicialmente a peça foi escrita e executada com o título Fiddlers Five, e foi apresentada assim brevemente em 1971, após a abertura em Bristol. A versão revista excursionou nas províncias durante várias semanas após sua estreia no Teatro Yvonne Arnaud em 1 de agosto de 1972, mas não conseguiu fazer sucesso.

Agatha Christie foi persuadida a fazer a peça contra a vontade de sua filha, Rosalind Hicks, que queria proteger a reputação de sua mãe e sentiu que essa produção poderia prejudicá-la. A versão revista da peça incorporou várias sugestões de seu diretor, Allan Davis, que tinha visto a versão anterior 1971.

A peça nunca foi transferida para o West End e permanece inédita.

Sinopse
Tentando colocar as mãos em uma grande herança, um grupo de jovens escondem o corpo de um magnata morto. Mas o que começa como uma brincadeira logo se torna muito grave quando eles descobrem que o corpo é de fato uma vítima de assassinato.

There's big money in writing a holiday hit
Published December 12, 2021 at 7:00 AM CST
DON GONYEA, HOST:
It's that time of year again, and there's no escaping the Christmas music.
(SOUNDBITE OF SONG, "ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS IS YOU")
MARIAH CAREY: (Singing) I don't want a lot for Christmas...
GONYEA: So what's in it for the artist who makes a Christmas hit? Music journalist and former record executive Tim Sommer joins us now to explain. Tim, welcome to the program.
TIM SOMMER: Thank you so much, and it's a pleasure to be here.
GONYEA: It feels like so many artists, different artists at some point or another try their hand at a holiday song. I guess it's like a lottery ticket, right? Maybe an annuity.
SOMMER: Annuity is a perfect way to put it. Mariah Carey is a Christmas industry, meaning especially since she is a primary co-writer of that song - it's only written by two people - which means that she makes an absolute fortune each Christmas on that song.
CAREY: (Singing) Ooh, baby.
SOMMER: In England, having a Christmas No. 1 and having a Christmas song is an entirely different object, an entirely different industry. But there are artists whose entire careers are supported and supported happily just by the fact that they can always count on a Christmas standard.
GONYEA: So we've done a little bit of research. And this is an old figure, but it has been estimated that Mariah Carey's "All I Want For Christmas" has made her an excess of $60 million since 1994.
SOMMER: That would make sense, yeah. That's a very logical figure.
GONYEA: You alluded to the notion that Christmas music in the U.K. is treated differently from how it is here in the U.S. You worked for the British press for a while. What's different there?
SOMMER: You know, first and foremost, their Christmas songs don't have to reflect a perfect Christmas. For the last three Christmases, the No. 1 single at Christmastime has been by this blogger comedy team called LadBaby, and their entire milieu is parody songs built around the words sausage rolls and their love for sausage. In 2019, it was "I Love Sausage Rolls," which is a parody of "I Love Rock 'n' Roll."
(SOUNDBITE OF SONG, "I LOVE SAUSAGE ROLLS")
LADBABY: (Singing) I love sausage rolls, so put another one in the oven, baby.
SOMMER: In 2020, it was a parody of the Journey song "Don't Stop Believin."
(SOUNDBITE OF SONG, "DON'T STOP ME EATIN'")
LADBABY: (Singing) Don't stop me eatin', oh, sausage roll feelin'.
GONYEA: (Laughter). So what's the formula for a Christmas hit?
SOMMER: The formula for an idealized Christmas hit - and again, I'm going to speak solely about the United States. The perfect Christmas hit is a reflection of the idealized, nonrealistic Christmas, and that's fantastic.
GONYEA: So in the spirit of the season, I'm going to ask you to pick a song that we should go out on.
SOMMER: My all-time favorite Christmas song is one of those British Christmas hits that we've spoken about. It's a song called "Stop The Cavalry" by Jona Lewie.
(SOUNDBITE OF SONG, "STOP THE CALVARY")
JONA LEWIE: (Singing) I have had to fight almost every night down throughout these centuries.
SOMMER: I think it was probably inspired by the legendary Christmas truce during the first world war when the British troops and the German troops, facing off against each other in the trenches, decided for just a few minutes to stop the firing. And it's a legendary moment in the history of war, and it's a legendary moment in the history of Christmas.
GONYEA: Tim Sommer, former record executive and author of "Only Want To Be With You: The Inside Story Of Hootie & The Blowfish," out in April. Thank you so much, Tim.
SOMMER: Thank you so very much.
LEWIE: (Singing) Wish I could be dancing now in the arms of the girl I love. Mary Bradley waits at home, she's been waiting two years long. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

Protesting Scouts renounce Eagle awards
Earning the right to be called an Eagle Scout ranks among life's most cherished achievements for countless men. But now, more than 100 Eagles have renounced their precious red, white and blue medals to protest the Boy Scouts of America's ban on gay and lesbian members.
"With sadness for the loss of the good things - I respectfully return my badge and ask that the BSA consider the opinions of the more than 10,000 other Eagle Scouts who have now done the same," wrote Ray Myers on a Tumblr site called Eagle Scouts Returning Our Badges.
Protesters have posted letters and photos of their Eagle badges and medals that they've sent to Robert Mazzuca, chief scout executive of the Boy Scouts of America.
The Boy Scout national headquarters said it doesn't have an exact count of medals returned recently. "But we have received a few," wrote BSA spokesman Deron Smith in an e-mail to CNN. "Although we are disappointed to learn of anyone who feels compelled to return his Eagle rank, we respect their right to express an opinion. While a majority of our membership agrees with our policy, we fully understand and appreciate that not everyone will agree with any one position or policy."
Myers' figure of 10,000 Eagle Scouts who've sent letters of protest can't be confirmed, but Smith said the number is closer to that reported by the site - 105 as of Friday.
Like many others who posted on the Tumblr site, David Peck, 33, of Vernon Hills, Illinois, described his decision to renounce his Eagle honor as "heartbreaking."
"Children need leaders to look up to and depriving these kids of potentially great ones because of the adult's sexual orientation is wrong," Peck wrote.

It's not easy to become an Eagle Scout. Only 5% of all Scouts earned the Eagle Scout rank last year, according to the group's website. To make it to Eagle, Scouts must earn 21 merit badges and serve in a troop leadership role as well as plan and complete a community service project. Traditionally, Scouting's highest rank has benefited college applicants and job seekers as a sign of a hard-working, goal-oriented character.
After becoming an Eagle Scout, Daniel Kane said he felt guilty for remaining with Scouting because he deeply disagreed with its policy on gays and lesbians.
"I reminded myself that my scoutmaster, in an incredibly courageous moment, had announced that he would never enforce the ban," Kane wrote in an e-mail to the Boys Scouts' National Executive Board. "I convinced myself that I had earned the rank, deserved it, and, since I was straight, was not breaking any rules by accepting it."
Kane said in the e-mail that now he's grown older, "I have not been able to conveniently ignore my conscience." He then wrote that he was renouncing "all affiliation" with the Boy Scouts of America.
One of the Tumblr posters, Ben Bedford of Springfield, Illinois, wrote that the policy conflicts with his idea of what it means to be a "sensitive member of the human race." Forfeiting his cherished award, Bedford wrote, "shall be my final act as an Eagle Scout."
The protest is the latest sign of unrest in the century-old organization after its announcement in July that it would not change its policy of "not granting membership to open or avowed homosexuals."
The organization said its leadership had reached that decision after a nearly two-year evaluation and would take no further action. A resolution that had sought to change the policy asked to let local Scout units determine their own standards. "Scouting believes that good people can personally disagree on this topic and still work together to achieve the life-changing benefits to youth through Scouting," a statement said.
Herndon Graddick, president of the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation, responded to the ban, saying, "How long will the Boy Scouts continue to bully young gay Americans into hiding who they are and hurt children of gay parents by denying their parents an opportunity to participate in their children's lives?"
Opinion: Scouts should end its ban on gay members
Eagle recipient Britton Lense of Walworth, New York, posted on the Tumblr site that the ban violates rules outlined in the Scouting Handbook, which he said calls on Scouts to "respect and defend the rights of all people."
He wrote that he hoped the Boy Scouts "will reverse their decision and in doing so return the badges to those who are standing up for what they believe in."

Concerned Parent
Gays should not be a part of a children's group. I would not want my son to be around openly gay boys or men for that matter it is gross and disgusting. This world is so messed up to protest over this and think that it's ok for your child to be around in an all boys setting with other openly gay boys.

Well Said!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Johnjon
and just what do you find "gross and disgusting"? I'm sorry to tell you that YOU are the one that is "messed up" with your filthy assumptions. I'd hate to have you as a parent who obviously has no idea what compassion or discrimination is about. you need to look in the mirror and realize the harm you are doing to your family and community. I hope God forgives you.
Newsflash partner... you seem to still somehow equate "gay" to pedophile... they are not one in the same. In fact, most pedophiles that molest boys openly define themselves as straight... food for thought I guess.
Brixzz
For many many centuries, the majority of the 'civilized" world believed the exact same thing about women, They are nothing more than baby makers that do not need to be educated , sophisticated or even recognized and citizens. Not talking about ancient times... only around a hundred years ago... In the United States!!
Hopefully this will inspire more parents to enroll their boys in scouting since they now know the BSA is attempting to create a safe environment for boys to grow and develop into men who can lead this country with good moral convictions.
check out how many influential men get a start by working hard to be an eagle scout. you will be amazed.
Wasn't this article on CNN two weeks ago, or did I read it in a different publication?
Good for these boys. Reject bigotry.
You one of the kind that likes little boys and get your rocks just thinking about?
Cobra, are you one of those that RESPECTS bigotry?

Eagle Scouts return badges...oh my what has the world come to? YAWN!!! You would think they were talking about the Congressional Medal of Honor, wait they did go camping to earn those badges, they may even have ruffed it by eating freeze dried food for one night! Get real and get over yourselves, nobody could care less if you are an Eagle Scout, put it on your resume and prepair to be laughed at!
Ignorance must be your favorite subject.
Funny, where ever I've mentioned my eagle scout status I usually get a handshake and a comment that more people should be like me. I also believe it helped me land my job. I suppose getting an automatic promotion in the military isn't worth anything either to you right?
About 100 return their medals.
Over 2 million elect to keep theirs.
Where's the news CNN ???
Sam W
Tens of millions of white people.
Only several hundred participated at the beginning of the civil rights era.
Where's the news, CNN?

When an organization publishes it's criteria for members and you JOIN willingly, you accept those criteria. If you are asked to leave the group when it is found you do not meet the criteria it is not harrassment or prejudice or bigotry or bullying. If one disagrees with the current policy then do not join!
GAYBOY JOHNSON
Man, if I was GAY, I would be very careful when out in public. To destroy an organization like the Boy Scouts of America in such a pathetic manner using this agenda, you made thousands of enemies today. Be looking over your shoulder and BEWARE of your surroundings. Justice has a way of making things right.
Wow, you advocate lynchings against gays? If I knew you personally, I would call the cops.
The Great Republic of Texas
WOW, another moron liberial running their lying mouth. He said nothing about lynching you uneducated fool, he is saying GAYS probably are not the most loved peiople right now messing with the Boy Scouts. I just love American like you. Would you please leave this great country you POS????
Once again I say to you, Repubic/Texas: YEEHAW!!!
keeping my Eagle Scout medal...doing this proves nothing. The ones that fell victim to "oh, its not okay if you are not politically correct today" are the ones turning theirs in. Don't like the views leave. Simple
THE HYPOCRISY CONTINUES! If you don't support us, you're preaching hate? What a laughable, terrible thing. Guess I'll have to voice my support of BSA like I did for Chick-Fil-A. Are you all really that naive? Just because I don't support the gay agenda has NOTHING to do with your right to be gay. This isn't discrimination, it's an opinion.
vtguy
Nasty gays keep pushing their immoral life styles on normal people... be careful.... there will be a backlash.
There was this little organization in the South that advocated a backlash against blacks.
They are now classified as a fringe group by the NSA/FBI and are monitored heavily.
Look into the future. It doesn't look bright for you.
DAVID in Texas
The point is "treat all (men and women) equal". I thought only Texas violated every rule (good-old boys) they wrote, now we have hipocrites in the BS. Darn Texans are distroying this entire country.

If I had been able to earn an Eagle scout award they would have to rip it from my fingers while I was kicking and screaming.
Unfortunately at about age 14 I decided I would rather goof off with friends then be an eagle scout. Maybe that's why I ended up spending thirty five years in a factory instead of being governor of some state.
Where would we be without this long list of eagle scouts????? Exactly where we are now but with a different list of non-eagle scouts in the same positions. I know an eagle scout, he serves hot dogs as a full time job at a local hot dog stand. You'd have a longer list of nobody's with the same honor.

and you can ask the exact opposite question...Where would those people be without being Eagle Scouts???? I could care less about the issue they are having but you only look at the side of the debate you agree with.....
Thats a short list. And if you seriously think becoming an Eagle Scout was the reason for their success then you need your head examined.
why are we surprised when a privately run organization wants to do things their own way? Is it discrimination for a Muslim group to exclude Jews who want to be involved or in leadership? This is quasi-news...not news.
It recieves public financing through free land use.
That's why there's an issue.

Everything CNN posts is extreme left quasi-news-propaganda. No surprise that freedom of anything only applies to the "tolerant" liberal. What a joke.
Right on Boy Scouts. Stay the course.

The Titian Committee: An Art History Mystery by Iain Pears
Penguin, 1999 (1993)
Hardcover, Paperback
Reviewed by Hilary Williamson
The Titian Committee is one of a mystery series featuring art history and, at least in this episode, a strong element of farce. There are three investigators, only two of whom are affiliated with the Italian polizia, as members of the Italian National Art Theft Squad. These are the fiery, 'emotionally turbo-charged' Flavia di Stefano and her urbanely intelligent boss General Taddeo Bottando. Politics in the form of a looming budget review sends Flavia to help in a Venetian investigation of the inconvenient murder of a member of an art historical committee funded by the Italian Arts Ministry.
Flavia quickly determines that Dr. Louise Masterson was murdered, and also bumps into a close friend, the mild-mannered, slightly wimp-ish Englishman and art dealer, Jonathan Argyll, who helps with the investigation. Bottando soon gets into the act as well. Naturally more corpses follow, along with an art trail that takes them across Europe to the Ardèche in France. When the pieces of the puzzle have all fallen into place, Flavia organizes a Nero Wolfe style d9nouement with those involved, in which she dispenses a uniquely Italian style of justice.
Though I enjoyed the Venetian backdrop to the investigation and the bonus of art history that came with the murders, I found the plot development disappointingly sluggish. But The Titian Committee is still worth reading for the entertaining antics of its characters, and for its depiction of Venice, which the author paints in realistic hues.


I think it is some kind of chess but how close it is to actual chess is difficult to judge (at least to me). What is probably the most interesting thing here, is that the author being profiled (Siafa Neal) offers lessons and exhibitions for paying customers.
An interesting approach to being a coach I guess. Create your own product and hope other people are interested. Almost like modern software!
I don't see anything wrong with it or anything different from normal chess, except it's like playing with 3 chessboards stacked on top of each other for a 3D experience. The pictures/ diagrams would also have to be 3D. And instead of selling 1 chessboard, he can sell 3.
What he applies to his chess marketing strategy, he also applies to his writing style. Just like taking a chess board and basically stacking it, he also stacks a whole lot of words together. He can string 4 different nominalisations/7 different words - e.g "human full spectrum cognitive elasticity cognition capacity".
