Family Portraits – Joy Manné
A photograph of my maternal grandmother looks down on me kindly from the pinboard behind my desk, scanned, emailed, protected from the sunlight by plastic. My cousin in Los Angeles has the original, inherited from his mother, my mother's oldest sister. It's the only image of my grandmother that I have.
My mother left no photographs, no legal documents or any other evidence of her past before my father. We were on our annual visit to Cape Town, in December 1979, to spend Christmas with my sister and her family. A day or two before we returned to London, my mother told me she had put so much paper down the garbage shaft in her appartment block that her servant had to unblock it with a broom handle. I hear my mother telling me this with her self-depreciating laugh. I didn't ask her what those papers were or pick up the cue. We left Cape Town in mid-January and my mother killed herself on 2nd February leaving farewell letters which I kept for thirty years, and then threw away.
My grandmother's face is strong, rectangular, without marked cheek-bones. She looks at me with seeing-through eyes, wise eyes. Her nose is heavy, and the grooves on either side almost reach her mouth, held in a firm straight underline beneath her nose. Her look says, you haven't fooled me even though I am silent about what I see and know. Ulla, my mother's middle sister, told me their mother was a simple woman. My grandmother does not have the face of a simple woman, but of a silent woman, a woman who held her peace. On the black and white photograph she is wearing a checked dress with white verticals zigzagging through black horizontals against a background that I imagine brown. Brown would suit my grandmother because in the photograph her eyes are dark and her hair too, tied up to show delicate ears. Her neck is slender, although no longer a young woman's neck, her chin rounded, her jawline just beginning to give way. My grandmother is not beautiful, but her face shows great strength. My mother said my grandmother was a good woman. I feel her benevolence as she looks down on me.
I imagine the photograph was taken for my Aunt Edith when my grandparents sent her, their oldest daughter, to South Africa to escape the Nazis before things got as bad as they got. We don't know where or how my grandmother died. The last she was heard of was at the station in Lutz, Poland. Did she die on the platform, or in a train, or was she gassed in Auschwitz?
My mother's portrait hangs in its gilded wooden frame in my art studio to the left of one of my father's portraits. The other portrait of my father stands on a shelf behind my desk in my study in-between bronze heads of my two children, cast when each was four; I imagine my father protecting me and my children. My mother painted well and although her oneiric style of lyrical black lines influenced by Picasso over blue and yellow watercolour was not appreciated thirty-five years ago it would have a respectable place today. I could not live with my mother's image in a room I inhabit every day, but, having inherited some of her talent, she has her place where I paint when I have time.
My mother poses half-profile. Her hair is thick and black, and permed into waves. An earlobe that protrudes is fleshier than her mother's but her neck is longer and more graceful. Her body is slighter; my mother was always thin. She is wearing a soft, tailored V-neck blouse that might be mohair with stitched pleats that come down from the shoulders and open up over her breasts which we cannot see. The tailoring looks expensive. My mother eyes were a brilliant light blue. In the black and white photograph, they are translucent and well-set under smooth lids; later her eyelids weighed down upon them. Her eyebrows are plucked fine. Her nose is strong but not large, her mouth lipsticked into a heart-shape. The colour stops before the corner to make it smaller; she had a wide mouth and a smile that showed her teeth.
The portrait-woman's eyes meet mine with many expressions: soft, reproachful, resentful, challenging, blaming, chiding; longing; does she sneer? My mother told me many times that she was considered beautiful. I didn't see it and I do not see it in the photograph. But she was interesting, unconventional and charismatic. She would have liked to be a film star like Sarah Bernhardt, admired and beloved by thousands, or a great artist, the equal of Picasso. In a safer world, she might have had a chance. Her expression is not submissive, as was expected of a woman at that time, and by a man like my father, twenty-years older, wealthy and established. The photo shows a woman who is not happy with her fate.
The three-quarter size portrait was taken by Jane Ploz, whose work is in the Bensusan Photography Museum in Bree Street, Newtown, Johannesburg. A label at the back tells that it was framed and mounted by S. A. Picture Framing, 18a Burg Street, Cape Town, and reference numbered 9117. For all I know it is a collector's item. I imagine it was taken shortly after she married my father during a visit to Cape Town to spend time with his younger sister, Esther, who lived there. After my mother's death, I asked my aunt to give it to me. I chose that portrait because the woman in it does not look like the mother I remember. I could not live with a likeness of the mother I had experienced.
Like my grandmother, my mother has seeing eyes, but she focussed on people's weaknesses and would then exploit them.
'She's always digging holes for others, and then she falls into them herself,' my Auntie Esther said.
My mother went her own way and at the end she paid the price with dignity. In the photograph she is wearing pearls that my father gave her and that she gave me when I was perhaps thirty. I have not given those pearls to my daughter.
In my study, my most personal room, I have many photos, mostly of my grand-children with me, or with their parents, or with my second husband who is not my children's father. I have three photos of him and me together. In the earliest, taken a year after we began to live together, I am thirty-nine. I have permed curls, as was fashionable in mid-eighties, and am in profile, leaning against him and looking up into his face. I am astonished how much I look like my mother, so much that the photo might have been of her. In my favourite, taken a year later, after he stopped me from perming my hair and it had fully grown out, I have long, shiny black hair, a slender neck longer than my mother's and the same shape of face and nose. I was beautiful. She must have been too.
I was eight, and looking at my mother.
'Why do you look at me that way?' she asked. 'I don't like you to look at me.'
I too have seeing eyes, darker blue than my mother's.
My mother was charming. I am careful to avoid charm. It is too close to manipulation.
A photo of my daughter stands within hand's reach on my desk, taken when she was thirty-three. On her knee my first grandson; close up her husband with his arm around her, looking at his son with a devoted expression, sweet-faced. My grey-green eyed daughter wears her wavy hair, dark brown, with hints of gold, clasped in a pony-tail pulled forward over one shoulder. Her hands rest on my grandson's knees. Her expression is childlike in its happiness. My grandson is wearing a jersey I knitted for him, with white sheep against a green background. It is a soft picture. My daughter is beautiful and charismatic.
Above my desk I have a kinetic wire sculpture, bought at the Museum of Modern Art in New York, on which one can suspend photos. My grandchildren, and my husband weave around each other, balancing on wire T-bars. My granddaughter: my daughter's daughter, has black eyes like my son-in-law, a slender neck, and a beautiful smile like her mother's. She's a characterful little girl, delightful and charismatic.
We are five generations of women. My mother and grandmother are long dead. I am close to seventy, my daughter is in the middle of her life, my grand-daughter in the early years of her schooling. What do we have in common, besides genes? We go. We leave. We leave by going, and we make others leave by sending them away.
As life became increasingly dangerous for Jews in Berlin, my grandfather sent his daughters to Southern Africa, Edith to Johannesburg, Ulla, the middle daughter, to Bulawayo after South Africa closed its borders to Jews in 1937; my mother, the youngest, to join Ulla in 1939. Later Rhodesia, now called Zimbabwe, closed its borders too. The war started. My grandfather discovered that while he could not get into South Africa directly from Berlin, he would be able to get there from a different African country but my grandmother refused to leave without her sisters. Grandfather had taken financial responsibility for these sisters who had never married, and would surely have brought them out of Germany once he had a place to bring them to, but Grandmother didn't give him the chance. She chose her sisters above her husband, daughters and grandson; I, her oldest granddaughter, was born after the war in which she and two-thirds of her family were exterminated. Grandmother did not go, she left by sending her children away.
My mother was left a widow at thirty-one with three children aged six, four and not-yet two: I'm the oldest, next a sister and then a brother. My mother wasn't interested in her children—she wanted a life. In Germany, when she was thirteen, Jews were no longer allowed to attend school. At eighteen she'd been sent away from her parents to work as a governess or nanny. To escape from that she had married, and then, pregnant, left him when he was convicted and jailed for fraud. Then, on the train from Bulawayo to her sister Edith in Johannesburg she miscarried at eight months. I only learned about this sibling after her death. I've always imagined a boy, an older brother; an oldest child who, in a kinder world, would have stood between me and my mother. Some people thought the child was born spastic and put into a home but no one has been able to trace it. The dead child was a secret. My father wanted a white wedding. My mother was not allowed to mourn, or to remember.
When a woman loses a baby and isn't allowed to grieve, her heart and mind: her love and attention, are caught up in the dead child. Love flows from parent to child, from our ancestors down to us and our children, through the generations like water flowing downstream. When parents lose a child, the flow is blocked, as water is dammed by a fallen tree or an avalanche of rocks, only to be released when mourning is complete. My mother could not grieve for her lost child because she was not allowed to talk about it, to give it brothers and sisters: to keep its memory alive in her heart. She could not mourn her own parents, talk about them and tell stories so that they would live on in her own children's minds and hearts because her grief was too large to bear; was intolerable; and so my mother's love could not find its way to her children who came later.
My mother never spoke about her life before my father. Her own father had died of kidney failure and pneumonia in 1943. In the years before her suicide, she began to blame herself for not bringing her mother out of Germany and saving her life.
Each mother is someone else's daughter. My mother is a daughter who lost her own mother in appalling circumstances which she had to imagine because they were not known: did her mother die on the platform at Lodz, or in a train on her way to Auschwitz, or in a gas oven? How does a daughter who has lost her mother that way survive in her heart and soul? My mother kept her attention away from the terrible facts until they caught up with her. I, her daughter, too have kept my attention away from these terrible facts, until now.
My mother left London and returned to live in South Africa in 1967, shortly after my son was born. I waited until my children were at university and then left London to live in Holland and Switzerland with my second husband.
I had married at nineteen. Unmothered myself, I did not know that children need their parents not only after school, but throughout their lives even after their parents are dead. I left by going away. Each of my children has, in their turn, left me and years have passed during which I did not hear from them. Now they and I live in different countries, and visit when we can.
When we are born, we come onstage into a drama that is already unfolding to take on our roles in our parents' and ancestors' stories. My grandmother, my mother and I are women who go, who leave, who make our children leave us by sending them away, or who leave ourselves. I hope my daughter and my granddaughter have lives that permit the generations to stay together.

Q: How to remove this Altium error?
I have already changed the size of region and my friends, with same design and placement, are not getting this error. What is the cause?

A: From the attached image, I assume this is an overlapping problem in Altium Designer (green  X's error markers, you should also include this in the post, in terms of what software you are using, what the component is, and what specifically you are having trouble with).
The direct solution is to go to the top menu: Tools > Reset Error Markers.
You can also try pressing T then M
You might also try running a Design Rule Check (DRC), it will also remove the error markers, but seems to disable them completely until the file is re-opened.

A: Change your design rules to allow for tighter spacing between pads.
I can't remember the exact details right now, but you can specify the design rules to apply to that particular footprint.  It may also be an issue with solder mask rules.  In any case, the footprint by itself should not cause a DRC error.  Check your friends' design rules, or just import them.

Is Kojima Teasing something By Meeting Up With Norman Reedus?
If there's one thing we've learned about director Hideo Kojima over the years, it's that the dude loves to tease things. He's like an adorable, brilliant child who wants everyone to know that he's got a secret. So when he posts a picture of a seemingly casual meeting with Walking Dead star and lead in Kojima's recently cancelled game, Norman Reedus, you can imagine that the rumor mill hopped into full swing.
To be clear, the only thing we have to go on here is a picture of Kojima and Reedus sitting at a table, with the information that Kojima is filling the Boondock Saint in on his new company. A perfectly casual, totally normal meeting, right?
Well, fans of Kojima are hoping that there's nothing "innocent" about this meeting. First, a brief dive into recent history.
As you likely recall, Kojima and his former bosses at Konami had a messy breakup last year. One of the casualties of that split was the upcoming horror game, Silent Hills. Originally revealed as a "Playable Teaser" called P.T. on the PlayStation 4, the terrifying demo ended with a brief look at Norman Reedus walking through some familiar foggy streets as the words Silent Hills popped up on the screen. If you prefer a visual reminder, here you go.
In short, people were ecstatic to learn that, not only was Silent Hills coming, but it was being directed by Kojima and starring a beloved actor. Imagine how insane folks got when they then discovered that the game was actually a collaboration project between Kojima and Guillermo del Toro, the man behind such films as Pan's Labyrinth, Pacific Rim and, more recently, Crimson Peak. In other words, it was basically a dream project for many a nerd the world over.
Everyone was heartbroken when it turned out that Silent Hills was cancelled, but we found a bit of relief when del Toro said that he and Kojima had every intention of working on "something" in the future.
It was recently announced that the duo will be partnering to give a presentation at DICE tomorrow, Feb. 18, which also got a swarm of new rumors started. If they were giving a talk, then surely they're already working on something, our frantic fanminds insist.
But now that Kojima has posted this picture of him meeting with Reedus, even the more logical sectors of our brains are buzzing with activity. Here's hoping that we hear something (literally anything) to quench our thirst for details in the next 24 hours.

Money Matters: Having Everything May Lead to Having Nothing
Pamela Stone
Mon Oct 2 , 2017
Finding yourself suddenly single is a journey that must be traveled. There are no shortcuts. But there is hope. As former governor Ann Richards said after her divorce, "You should never depend on another human being for your income. Financial security is the greatest security there is."
But what about women over 50 who have not worked for ten years or more?
In my case, my mother had a rich life. Because she reared six healthy children, I believe she felt entitled to have the best. She had a full-time housekeeper, babysitters for her children, a Cadillac in the driveway, a newly decorated home and beautiful clothes from Neiman Marcus. Once she told me, "I wrote a personal note to Stanley Marcus, asking him for an extension on our bill. He wrote me back a lovely reply, saying he'd work with me!"
My father, a building developer, worked hard to provide a life of ease for my mother. However, when he died at age 67, she inherited an enormous debt. Their whole-life insurance policies were borrowed on extensively. Her home had a lien on it due to a bad business deal. Like many women of her generation, my mother focused on rearing her children and turned over the day-to-day finances to my father.
Whether we are spendthrifts or savers, money governs our lives. Then why do women often avoid money matters? Why do we tend to pass the responsibility to another individual — whether it's our husband, lover or our father? Are we afraid of math? Are we hoping that someone will rescue us from facing reality?
Experts say that, unfortunately, many middle age women are guilty of this tendency. When an emergency arises, like a layoff, illness, or a shift in their lifestyle, they find themselves financially uneducated. As the author of A Woman's Guide to Living Alone: 10 Ways to Survive Grief and Be Happy, I interviewed numerous educated women who fell into this category.

Because of the high divorce rate and the fact that most women outlive their spouses by 7 to 12 years, it is vital that we take charge of our finances, now. Financial guru Suze Orman says, "We take care of our of tomorrows by taking care of our todays."
The Institute for Divorce Financial Analysts reports:
1. The average age of widowhood is 60.
2. Eighty percent of working women were not poor before the death of their husbands.
3. Nearly 75 percent of the elderly poor are women.
4. The chief caretaker of an ailing relative is usually the eldest female child, regardless of her economic or employment situation. Often women are forced to drop out of the workforce to care for their loved ones, eroding their pension and social security.
Emily was an example.
As a teacher, Emily earned a reasonable salary in Los Angeles, California. But when her mother became ill, she was forced to drop out of the workforce and care for her. An only child, Emily was the only person able to assume this responsibility. After three years of caretaking, her mother died. Emily was devastated when she realized her rocky financial status. Caring for her mother was rewarding, but it took its toll, financially. By dropping out of the workforce, her pension, healthcare benefits and Social Security were reduced. A feeling of panic set in when her earning power was affected. She felt like she had to start over again.
On the other hand, Peggy was lucky. Let's look at her situation.
At her 20th wedding anniversary, her husband presented her with a royal gift. It was a 3-ring binder with the couple's financial information. It contained resources, contacts and details of: retirement savings, insurance policies, mortgage payments, property taxes, IRS obligations, 401-Ks, IRAs, mutual funds, loans and stocks, as well as the contact information for their financial advisor. In addition, their current will and credit card statements were enclosed.
"This was the most caring and valuable gift I could receive from my husband. What a relief to know exactly where we stood financially," she said.
Creating a budget and sticking to it can be overwhelming. However, it is better to prepare a budget before an emergency arises. Try setting a "money date" with your spouse, your partner or yourself where you go over the budget. Make this a weekly affair. The more you plan ahead, the more control you have.
1. Determine Your Financial Goals
2. List Your Monthly Expenses
3. Write Down Your Income
4. Subtract Fixed Expenses from Net Income
5. List Your Variable Expenses
7. Bottom Line – The result is your Discretionary Income
Think of Hurricane Harvey and Irma. Sometimes disaster strikes unexpectedly. We are vulnerable to failing health, a damaged roof, home repairs, college loans and downfalls in our businesses. Building a budget, gives you a strong advantage. Creating a emergency fund is mandatory.
Did you know that most marriages fail because of disagreements over money? The Solution: Create a Basic Plan for Review
Jean Chatzky, Financial Editor for NBC's Today Show, says a budget plan allows you to stay on track. Discuss how you will spend your discretionary income on things like eating out, what your individual spending money should be and other issues. Then switch to a cash budget for all the categories your spouse uses. Explain that once the money is gone, then you have to stop spending.
Don't Play the Blame Game
Try creating a budget that you and your spouse agree on. Use the budget to map your financial future for each month/year. If you work together as a team, the resentment from one party or another should level out, and you will reach your goal.
Personal finance consultant, Liz Weston, said in the Dallas Morning News, August, 27, 2017, that women should not be afraid to look at finances. Credit counselor Linda Humburg has worked with individuals who stashed unpaid bills in shoe boxes or grocery bags and brought them to counseling sessions. Not wanting to confront unpaid bills is normal, but it leads to financial chaos. "Many people avoid checking their credit scores or using retirement calculators because they're afraid of what they might find," said Ms. Humburg, counselor manager for Family Means Financial Solutions in Stillwater, Minnesota.
She points out that there is a price tag for denial, and it can be costly depending on how long it's allowed to happen."
Families Beware – are you Prepared?
When families help support ailing loved ones, a third spend more than $5,000.00 a year, and another one percent dole out more than $10,000.00 a year.
What Happens When my Parents are Broke?
The AARP reports that nearly one in four Americans help support a parent financially. But most families don't discuss the issue of dollars involved before an accident arises. Extra care at home with a home health aide would cost $3,861 per month, on average. Therefore, it is important to set up an emergency home repair fund before a crises occurs, says Jody Gastfriend, vice president of senior care at Care.com.
Setting aside money for parents monthly, may help you prepare for these emergencies.
Also, if you have siblings, financial planners suggest creating a family team that can take on separate roles — household chores, dispensing medications, paying bills or covering physical help.
It is advisable to include:
– Your parents own financial funds.
– Your funds.
– Contributions from other family members.
Providing a roadmap to caretakers, stating who will provide necessary care and how will it be paid for, as well as access to key financial documents, eases caregiving duties and provides a positive outcome. The earlier you address this, the better.
Did you know that Joan Rivers, comedienne, found herself in a financial downfall after the suicide of her husband? Her Fox late night show was canceled, and she realized her husband had blown their fortune on bad investments.
When Edgar was alive, "I earned the money and then I turned every penny over to him." After his death, Joan realized how much she did not know about managing her money. "I was at a loss, but I knew I had to do something!" She enrolled in Accounting 101, a class at the nearest college, and acquired money skills which she used successfully for the rest of her life.
Kerry Hannon, author, motivational speaker and columnist for AARP and Forbes magazine, believes that financial freedom is personal freedom. Money confidence provides divorced or single women with essential information that can transform their lives. Her book, Money Confidence, serves as a survival kit to protect a woman's financial future.
In my book, A Woman's Guide to Living Alone: 10 Ways to Survive Grief and Be Happy, I was touched by the courage of the women interviewed. I learned that being in charge of your money matters allows you to seize opportunities and realize your personal passions, as you build a new life for yourself. Becoming financially aware allows you to discover skills you never imagined before – and breathe easier with this knowledge.

The MAIN page
This site is not meant to be a pretty website. It was originally intended to be a place where I put junk to tinker with. It has evolved into the place where I put anything that I want to share with friends and family, which means mostly pictures.
If you have comments or complaints, please feel free to e-mail me. I will feel free to respond, repair or ignore as I see fit. :)
So... It has been a while since I did much with this page. I really need to do some updates, maybe clean up a little. I think maybe the best answer would be to just redo the whole site. I have been making some changes from time to time, but never really getting everything organized. This site is kind of like that drawer in the kitchen that most people have... you put stuff in there that you don't want to throw away, but you don't do a lot with organizing it.
What I would like to do is build a whole new structure, in a bit more professional and interesting style, and then move content that I want to keep to the new spot. I guess it would help if I actually knew how to work a better set of tools.
So... I have been working on doing what I said above.... (build a new site and move the content) so hopefully that will happen in the next few weeks. there is a lot involved in building a website. I think it would be easier if there weren't already content that needed to migrate. I could just build fresh as I go. Moving existing content isn't as easy, because there is so much that needs to be changed to work in the new site.
To make it even more difficult, I am changing the tools used to build the site. This page was originally built in FrontPage. I am using Visual Studio to build the new site. (I wasn't very good with FrontPage, and I am even less knowledgeable about Visual Studio, but at least it is good practice.) I am also using SharePoint Designer 2007. It is very much like FrontPage, but has a few new features and can work with SharePoint sites. (This site is not a SharePoint site.) Visual Studio has a better mechanism for handling pictures. Or at least, I like the way the "Personal Website" project handles pictures.
Sites that I have up and running or stuff that I want to share...

Q: Java table cell renderer active only after first click I created a table for immediate interaction (for a Sudoku solver), but the mouse events (enter, exit, click) reach the cell renderer only after I click into the cell. (For each cell, I have to click once before the renderer is activated. Coming back to that cell later, it will work right away.)
How can I change my code to immediately activate the table cell? Or can I find out what exactly happens with the first mouse click, so I can perform these operations right after the table creation? (I have tried to catch the mouse events on all levels of the UI hierarchy, but could not find it.)
I have reduced the table to a 1x1 minimum and removed all unnecessary code. The remaining code is displayed below. Note that mouse over (a small black square is displayed) is active only after one click. (The code is complete and can be compiled as is.)

A: That's because a renderer is not supposed to handle events. A renderer is a unique component that is just used to paint every cell in a table or column.
When the table paints itself, it iterates through the cells. For each cell, the renderer component is modified, then a "screenshot" of the renderer component is taken and pasted into the table cell. So it can't handle events. You should add an event listener on the table itself. Not on the renderer.
After a click, it works because your renderer is also an editor, and an editor can handle events. But it seems to me that your table is in fact not editable, and that you shouldn't have an editor at all. Rather, add a listener on the table.


Lorraine Green qualified as a podiatrist in 2005 and worked within the NHS for five years gaining experience in both musculoskeletal and high-risk wound assessment and management of the lower limb. In 2010 she was successfully appointed as a clinical research podiatrist at the University of Leeds with an honorary contract at the Leeds Teaching Hospitals for her continued clinical work. She completed her Masters Degree in 2012, focusing on musculoskeletal and high-risk patient care.
She has trained podiatrists across the country on delivering a podiatry package of care (including footwear assessment, orthosis provision and foot and ankle exercises) as part of a national study in the prevention of falls, funded by the Department of Health.
She is now funded by the National Institute of Health Research (NIHR) to undertake her clinical PhD at the Leeds Institute of Rheumatic and Musculoskeletal Medicine. Here, she works closely with the Scleroderma Programme and the Foot and Ankle Studies in Rheumatology (FASTER) Group at Chapel Allerton Hospital, Leeds.
She plans to continue her private work and use the specialised clinical and research work to compliment the management of her clients seen in the Good Health Centre.


The University of West Georgia's Campus Catholics organization will soon have a new place of their own next to campus on Maple Street. The Catholic Archdiocese of Atlanta recently purchased a land lot at the corner of Maple Street and Howell Road.
"Our goal is to build a facility on the property that will benefit the Catholic students at UWG," said Jerry Mock, Chairman of the Our Lady of Perpetual Help Catholic Church's Finance Committee.
The Archdiocese of Atlanta purchased the lot across from Kennedy Chapel in May and Mock says the process of building a new facility is now under way.
Mock and his team are currently doing research to determine what kind of needs the facility would have and also to create a design for the new building.
Catholic students have used UWG's Kennedy Chapel as a meeting space for decades. The local Catholic church held mass at the chapel for many years until the building was donated to UWG in 1965. The new space would serve as a location in which the UWG Campus Catholics could hold meetings and services.

All charges have been dropped against a man who was accused of sexually assaulting a beaver in Washington last September.
Richard Delp, 35, was arrested on charges of felony animal cruelty and possession of methamphetamine after he was found next to the animal with his pants down. The woman that found the scene had originally seen the beaver after it was hit by a car.
She had left to get supplies to help the animal, but found the man beside it when she returned. Delp admitted to committing the sexual act.
In court, his lawyer requested a mental health evaluation, which showed that he was incompetent to stand trial and is not likely to ever be restored to a point where he could. The state of Washington then dropped their charges, pursuant to Delp getting help.

Not all of them, but certainly there's some really, really dramatic differences among apples. And what you learn if you have that number of varieties is you learn which Apple is good for which purpose. So I have a favorite apple for apple pie. It's called Bramley Seedling. It's a old British Apple. I blend a lot of these apples together that make apple cider every year. It's a great hobby, but it's, you know, it takes some time. And it can be frustrating when the Japanese beetles or the gypsy moths come.

I am interested in shows that are not out-and-out gag fests: you see the truth of a broken heart behind them.

It's that real pain and that real hilarity that makes life so intriguing.

Q: ORMLite where clausule in String Array I use ormlite and I have a db with a field:
public static final String NAME = "name";
@DatabaseField (canBeNull = false, dataType = DataType.SERIALIZABLE, columnName = NAME)
private String[] name = new String[2];

And I would like to get all elements that name[0] and name[1] are "car". I try to add a where clausule like:
NAMEDB nameDB = null;
Dao<NAMEDB, Integer> daoName = this.getHelper().getDao(NAMEDB.class);
QueryBuilder<NAMEDB, Integer> queryName = daoName.queryBuilder();
Where<NAMEDB, Integer> where = queryName.where();
where.in(nameDb.NAME, "car");

But it doesn't work because it's an array string.
I have other fields:
public static final String MARK = "mark";

@DatabaseField (canBeNull = false, foreign = true, index = true, columnName = MARK)
private String mark = null;

And I can do this:
whereArticulo.in(nameDB.MARK, "aaa");

How can I solve my problem? Thanks.

A: It seems to me that a third option to store a string array (String[] someStringArray[]) in the database using Ormlite would be to define a data persister class that converts the string array to a single delimited string upon storage into the database and back again to a string array after taking it out of the database.
E.g., persister class would convert ["John Doe", "Joe Smith"] to "John Doe | Joe Smith" for database storage (using whatever delimiter character makes sense for your data) and converts back the other way when taking the data out of the database.
Any thoughts on this approach versus using Serializable or a foreign collection?  Anyone tried this?
I just wrote my first persister class and it was pretty easy. I haven't been able to identify through web search or StackOverflow search that anyone has tried this.
Thanks.

A: As ronbo4610 suggested, it is a good idea to use a custom data persister in this case, to store the array as a string in the database separated by some kind of delimiter. You can then search the string in your WHERE clause just as you would any other string. (For example, using the LIKE operator)
I have implemented such a data persister. In order to use it, you must add the following annotation above your String[] object in your persisted class:
@DatabaseField(persisterClass = ArrayPersister.class)

In addition, you must create a new class called "ArrayPersister" with the following code:
import com.j256.ormlite.field.FieldType;
import com.j256.ormlite.field.SqlType;
import com.j256.ormlite.field.types.StringType;
import org.apache.commons.lang3.StringUtils;

public class ArrayPersister extends StringType {
    private static final String delimiter = ",";
    private static final ArrayPersister singleTon = new ArrayPersister();

    private ArrayPersister() {
        super(SqlType.STRING, new Class<?>[]{ String[].class });
    }

    public static ArrayPersister getSingleton() {
        return singleTon;
    }

    @Override
    public Object javaToSqlArg(FieldType fieldType, Object javaObject) {
        String[] array = (String[]) javaObject;

        if (array == null) {
            return null;
        }
        else {
            return StringUtils.join(array, delimiter);
        }
    }

    @Override
    public Object sqlArgToJava(FieldType fieldType, Object sqlArg, int columnPos) {
        String string = (String)sqlArg;

        if (string == null) {
            return null;
        }
        else {
            return string.split(delimiter);
        }
    }
}

A: Unfortunately ORMLite does not support querying fields that are the type SERIALIZABLE.   It is storing the array as a serialized byte[] so you cannot query against the values with an IN query like:
where.in(nameDb.NAME, "car");

ORMLite does support foreign collections but you have to set it up yourself with another class holding the names.  See the documentation with sample code:

Abstract: It is common knowledge that the way past generations learned mathematics cannot be the same compared to present-day students learning of mathematics. This paper centers on ways current use of technology is changing the instructional roles of classroom teachers. The question that guided this discussion is: what role does technology play in helping learners construct their own knowledge and subsequently transforms the teacher's role? In answering the question attention is focused on what mathematics teachers can do to integrate technology in ways and manner that's congruent with constructivism. Instance of computer simulation and internet activities are discussed as they pertain to helping students learn concepts.

BBC iPlayer UK Viewers Will Need A TV licence From 1st September 2016 Onwards
12:58 pm August 2, 2016 By Julian Horsey
A new law will be coming into force within the UK on September 1st that will require anybody in the UK watching the BBC iPlayer application to own a TV Licence whatever device they may be viewing it on. Including catch-up services such as third-party services such as Sky, Virgin or BT.
So if you have been one of those users that has used the BBC iPlayer as a way to avoid paying the licence fee, the loophole will be closed on September 1 and you will need a licence to watch anything TV related by the BBC within the UK.
A standard TV licence within the UK costs £145.50 per year although this can be paid via instalments over a 12 month period rather than in one lump sum. The official TV Licensing website reads :
From 1 September 2016 you will need to be covered by a TV Licence to download or watch BBC programmes on demand, including catch up TV, on BBC iPlayer. This applies to any device and provider you use.
Don't forget, you still need a TV Licence to watch or record programmes on any channel as they are being shown on TV or live on an online TV service. So, if you already have a TV Licence on 1 September, you're already covered.
For more information on the new law that will take effect from September 1st and to order your standard UK TV Licence jump over to the TV Licensing website via the link below.

Illinois House of Representatives sworn in for new session
by: Theodora Koulouvaris
SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (WCIA) – Members of the Illinois House of Representatives took their oath of office Wednesday.
House Speaker Chris Welch (D-Hillside) will once again lead the chamber in the new session of the General Assembly.
General Assembly issues resolutions to honor Scott Bennett
This time, he's leading an even bigger group of Democrats. They grew their supermajority from 73 to 78 members.
"I want to begin today by saying thank you to the historic House Democratic Caucus members, the great 78, for trusting me for a second time to lead our chamber as Speaker of the House," Welch said.
Republicans expected to see major victories in the 2022 midterm elections but did not. And after those losses, they saw a shakeup in leadership.
Rep. Tony McCombie (R- Savanna) will serve as the new House Minority leader. She's the first woman to ever lead a caucus in the house.
Illinois bill requiring sick leave for all workers passes both chambers
"We must prioritize the co-equal nature of our government and prioritize fulfilling the constitutional duty one which supersedes party loyalty or providing those checks and balances," McCombie said.
Former minority leader, Rep. Jim Durkin, resigned from leadership and later from the House before the start of the new session
"Even through all the debates, I never questioned what was in his heart," Welch said. "I am sincerely grateful for his service to this state."
Nonetheless, Welch, who became speaker in 2021 after Mike Madigan resigned, believes Democrats and Republicans can work cohesively to get things done.
"While we will certainly have more disagreements, it is my hope that even our disagreements can be productive when we remember that the reasons why we're doing the work are very similar," Welch said.
Illinois House Bill 9 needs one more signature to be made law
McCombie also called for both sides to move forward together.
"The only way to do that successfully, Speaker Welch, is to join me to be accessible, transparent and honest, to bring our caucuses together to frame real solutions," McCombie said.
This new session is kicking off with some historic moments. The House will now have its first two Muslim Americans with Rep. Abdelnasser Rashid (D-Justice) and Rep. Nabeela Syed (D-Inverness). Syed and Brad Fritts (R-Dixon), both 23, are also considered to be the first members of Gen-Z to serve in the Illinois legislature.

What are the necessary changes required in build setting when added share extension in app and submitting it to Enterprise distribution.

A: There are no required build setting changes for any type of iOS extension. However, depending on how you want your app and share extension to interact, there are entitlements and capabilities that you may want to set for your application. You should check out a tutorial.

Most anti-smoking campaigns inadvertently encourage people to smoke. The scent of melons helps sell electronic products. Subliminal advertising may have been banned, but it's being used all the time. Product placement in films rarely works. Many multi-million pound advertising campaigns are a complete waste of time. These are just a few of the findings of Martin Lindstrom's groundbreaking study of what really makes consumers tick. Convinced that there is a gulf between what we believe influences us and what actually does, he set up a highly ambitious research project that employed the very latest in brain-scanning technology and called on the services of some 2000 volunteers. "Buyology" shares the fruits of this research, revealing for the first time what actually goes on inside our heads when we see an advertisement, hear a marketing slogan, taste two rival brands of drink, or watch a programme sponsored by a major company.
The conclusions are both startling and groundbreaking, showing the extent to which we deceive ourselves when we think we are making considered decisions, and revealing factors as varied as childhood memories and religious belief that come together to influence our decisions and shape our tastes.

The last three days, we have been hosting a medical clinic and engaging in street evangelism. We also visited the "It's a Girl" home and the Magimai orphanage.
At the first village in Panaiyur, we hosted a medical clinic sponsored by Woodside. Dr. Shelia was in charge of medical treatment. Dr. Mano was overseer of the prayer team and the team rotated between stations. There were five stations: Registration, examination, prescriptions, vitamin supplement distribution, and prayer and anointing. The patients were of all ages, young and old, with a variety of illnesses. About fifty people were served and everything went very smoothly.
After the medical clinic we headed for a quick visit to one of the "It's a Girl" sponsorship homes that Woodside supports. We hung out with the mothers and babies. The pastor explained what brought each mother and child to the home. Most cases involved some sort of domestic abuse. The caregivers who oversee the home were very excited to show us around, show how clean everything was and that everyone has food to eat. They take pride in their servitude and responsibilities. We loved on the babies, then headed on to engage in street evangelism.
We split up into teams of two groups. We had Dr. Mano's team with us. We had a list of homes. As we went into the homes we removed our shoes. This village was hit by the tsunami a few years back. Many homes were destroyed. Most people wanted prayer for help to pay off loans they took out to rebuild. This is a fishing village and they struggle simply to get by. Others asked for prayer because of physical abuse due to alcoholism. It was very difficult seeing these people suffer and not be able to offer immediate help. We know God sent us there for a reason and believe He will take care of them and answer our prayers for His name and His Glory. The next two days were continuing in the same ministry, except on the third day we went to a village in Maduranthangam.
In this village, we served a gypsy community. These people were uniquely precious. They wanted into the building so bad they rushed the attendant at the door. It was a bit scary at first but we realized that it was okay when we saw them smiling. They had a variety of diseases. Many had open sores, some had bad coughs. They were open to prayer and were excited about the anointing oil we passed out. After serving at this village we headed to the Magimai children's home.
The children at the home come from parents who have died from AIDS. We met up with the girls we were introduced to at LLLT. At the home, the girls danced for us and we all made cross necklaces. We then went upstairs to see their rooms, which were very clean. They had cupboards for their clothes and everything was neat and tidy. The girls also get along very well with each other. While in their sleeping quarters we played a game, and they had a good time. After this, we passed out gift bags and headed out. We will miss them and their caregivers very much.
We would like thank all of you who help with these ministries through generous giving and prayer. You are making a difference for the Kingdom and we pray that God will bless you abundantly as a reward. Our hearts are warmed and we are humbled as we experienced God's presence in these ministries. We are grateful for this experience.

The 24-inch, 40 W solid-state Garmin GMR Fantom 24 dome radar features MotionScope technology, which uses the Doppler effect to detect and highlight moving targets to help you avoid potential collisions. Fully integrates with select Garmin chartplotters.
You get excellent close- and long-range target detection ranging from as close as 6m to 48 nm, even in fog or rain. Its 3.7 degree horizontal beamwidth provides a high resolution image and high antenna gain so it can pick out targets at a distance. The result is this radar paints a clear, concise image of the shoreline, other vessels and impending weather — right on your Garmin chartplotter. You get consistent target positions, excellent target separation and reliable operation. Its 8-bit true colour imagery also helps you discriminate large targets from small ones and enhances target separation. Radar data is overlaid onto charts (autopilot or heading sensor recommended). Low power consumption, instant turn on and no delay from warming up as with magnetron radars. Rotation speeds of 24 for reduced power consumption and 48 rpm to provide fast screen updates.
