Q: Wordpress custom post type pagination I am trying to get pagination working with the wp pagenavi plugin and a custom post type (portfolio page) in WordPress and I am having no luck.
Here is a stripped down version of my portfolio page:
<?php get_header(); ?>

<?php
  $type = 'portfolio';
  $args=array(
    'post_type' => $type,
    'post_status' => 'publish',
    'paged' => $paged,
    'posts_per_page' => 1,
    'caller_get_posts'=> 1
  );
  $temp = $wp_query;  // assign original query to temp variable for later use
  $wp_query = null;
  $wp_query = new WP_Query($args);
?>

<?php if($wp_query->have_posts()) : while($wp_query->have_posts()) : $wp_query->the_post(); ?>
...
<?php endwhile; else : ?>
...
<?php endif; ?>

<?php if(function_exists('wp_pagenavi')) { wp_pagenavi(); }
    $wp_query = null; $wp_query = $temp; ?>

<?php get_footer(); ?>

I have my permalinks set to:
/%postname%/

and I have re-saved them.
When I got to page two of my portfolio, I get a 404 page.  Any idea why this is happening?
Thanks for the help.

A: I think you are having a bad case of the old WordPress URL redirect.
Try adding this filter to stop it:
add_filter('redirect_canonical','my_disable_redirect_canonical');

function my_disable_redirect_canonical( $redirect_url ) {
    if ( is_single( 'portfolio' ) )
    $redirect_url = false;
    return $redirect_url;
}

A: Custom post type numeric pagination -> http://designphiliconline.blogspot.in/2012/08/wordpress-custom-post-type-pagination.html
This will work with permalink set to default or postname

A: I had a problem with pagination in Wordpress, and couldn't fix it so I rolled my own extention of the WP_Query class -> MF_Query
Simply use MF_Query in place of WP_Query, and then use $your_query->next("Next Page") or $your_query->prev("Previous Page") to add next and previous links (text has defaults, so no arguments required.
It is required that you pass your arguments directly to the class initialisation as an array, as apposed to the various options you have with standard WP_Query.
It's a little hacky, but it works!!

A: This is the way I go to pass the paged variable into the CPT query for navigation, you can have different methods on doing this, but this the only one it has work for me using the WP_QUERY. And no need any plugin for navigation just standard navigation links.
You should place this line over here before you WP_QUERY
 $paged = 1;
 if ( get_query_var('paged') ) $paged = get_query_var('paged');
 if ( get_query_var('page') ) $paged = get_query_var('page');

$temp = $wp_query;
                $wp_query = null;
                $wp_query = new WP_Query();
                $wp_query->query('post_type=portafolio&showposts=7&orderby=post_date&order=DESC&paged='.$paged);
 while ($wp_query->have_posts()) : $wp_query->the_post();

 //post format
get_template_part("content");?>

  <?php endwhile; ?>

  //pagination links here

  <?php
      $wp_query = null;
      $wp_query = $temp;  // Reset
   ?>

After you modify your loop file add this to your functions.php this is the variable that will work out the page your on.
 function paginate() {
   global $wp_query, $wp_rewrite;
   $wp_query->query_vars['paged'] > 1 ? $current = $wp_query->query_vars['paged'] : $current = 1;

   $pagination = array(
    'base' => @add_query_arg('page','%#%'),
    'format' => '',
    'total' => $wp_query->max_num_pages,
    'current' => $current,
    'show_all' => true,
    'type' => 'plain'
    );

  if ( $wp_rewrite->using_permalinks() ) $pagination['base'] = user_trailingslashit( trailingslashit( remove_query_arg( 's', get_pagenum_link( 1 ) ) ) . 'page/%#%/', 'paged' );
if ( !empty($wp_query->query_vars['s']) ) $pagination['add_args'] = array( 's' =>   get_query_var( 's' ) );
echo paginate_links( $pagination );
}

 function portafolio_posts_per_page( $query ) {
    if ( $query->query_vars['post_type'] == 'portafolio' ) $query->query_vars['posts_per_page'] = 10;
return $query;
}
 if ( !is_admin() ) add_filter( 'pre_get_posts', 'portafolio_posts_per_page' );

You can also read this post is explaining the method of chaining templates this will fix pagination problem that we have to deal when involves custom queries.
http://wp.tutsplus.com/tutorials/custom-post-type-pagination-chaining-method/

A: <?php

$paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
query_posts(array(
    'post_type' => 'portfolio',
    'paged' => $paged,
    'caller_get_posts' => 1,
    'posts_per_page' => T_Panel('portfolio_page_num')
));
if (have_posts()) :
    while (have_posts()) : the_post();
        // your content loop her
    endwhile;
    wp_reset_query();
endif;

?>

All eyes were on the Greenback this week, thanks to the U.S. presidential elections. However, the pound somehow managed to steal the show, with 5 out of the top 10 movers being pound pairs. Not only that, the pound ended up being the king (or queen if you like) of pips this week. How on earth did that happen? Well, time to find out what was driving price action on the pound and the other currencies this week!
Although I'm pretty sure he looks more like this to many people.
Anyhow, the Greenback gapped higher against most of its peers when the new trading week opened, thanks to FBI Director James Comey's announcement over the weekend that no new email-related charges would be levied against Hillary Clinton. The Greenback then traded mostly sideways after that, as forex traders waited for the U.S. presidential elections to get under way.
Interestingly enough, the Greenback began getting some buyers when Americans finally went to vote, probably because most market players were expecting an easy Clinton win, since that's what almost all mainstream polls were predicting.
Much to their dismay (but to the glee of Trump supporters and contrarian traders), however, exit polls and actual voting results began to point to a Trump victory. The gospel that was being preached by most market analysts at the time was that a Trump victory would be disastrous for both the U.S. and global economy, so the Greenback quite naturally got stumped by most of its peers. The Greenback managed to advance against the Kiwi and the Aussie, though, thanks to the tidal wave of risk aversion that slammed into Asian and European markets at the time. The Greenback also took ground from the Loonie, but we'll talk about that later.
Quite interestingly, the Greenback began to regain some poise when Trump was just 20 shy from the 270 electoral college votes needed to win. This was likely due to profit-taking by the shorts, as Trump's victory began to look inevitable.
However, Greenback pairs noticeably got bid higher when word got around that Clinton personally called Trump to offer her surrender. This was confirmed a few minutes later when Trump said the same thing during his victory speech, which caused the Greenback to spurt higher still.
Speaking of Trump's victory speech, his speech was actually rather presidentiable and calming, if you listen to it with an open mind. And that plus Clinton's surrender probably reduced uncertainty by a lot, since European equities got resuscitated while U.S. equities skyrocketed, as risk appetite came back with a vengeance.
After that, the Greenback continued climbing higher, as market players looked forward instead. The gospel about a Trump presidency being disastrous was now branded as heresy, and market analysts began preaching the new gospel that Trump's presidency would be, well, Trumptastic. Specifically, expectations were high that banking regulations would be loosened, which boosted banking shares. Investors also looked forward to Trump's promise to lower taxes while increasing spending on the military and infrastructure, as well as his promise to bring back jobs. Forex Gump has the deets on some of Trump's economic policies, which you can read here.
The pound was trading sideways for most of the week. And while the U.S. presidential elections did inject some volatility into pound pairs, price action was not exactly uniform.
Strangely enough, the pound began to move uniformly higher against ALL its forex rivals, starting on Thursday's late European / U.S. session, as highlighted on the chart above. Not even the mighty Greenback could resist the pound's advance.
Market analysts were baffled by this wonky price action, so nobody honestly knows for sure. Many theories were presented, although the most popular one is that the pound's mysterious surge was due to investor expectations that populist, anti-establishment movements in Italy, France, Germany, and other parts of Europe would prevail, with Brexit and Trump's victory as signs of the times. This was viewed as net bearish for the euro, but positive for the pound, due to the reduction of Brexit-related bearish pressure on the pound. That's what this piece from Bloomberg is saying, which is also what this piece from Reuters is saying.
Another popular theory, which is mentioned on this other piece from Reuters, is that a Trump presidency would allow the U.K. to get a better post-Brexit trade deal. Sounds plausible, I guess. If y'all can still recall, Obama was staunchly anti-Brexit, and he shot down the idea of a "fast-track post-Brexit trade deal" back in September when he met with British PM Theresa May.
Well, whatever the case may truly be, the fact still remains that the pound ended up as the one currency to rule them all. Makes you wonder if the pound's strength will persist next week, huh?
As I mentioned earlier, Trump's victory and victory speech, as well as Clinton's surrender, was able to revive risk appetite, so much so that most equity indices were able to close out the week with gains. The equity markets of many emerging market economies got whupped, though, probably because foreign investments, particularly from the U.S., are expected to flow out now that Trump is gonna be in charge. Anyhow, here is how some of the major equity indices fared.
Quite naturally, the risk-friendly environment was not very friendly at all to the safe-haven yen, which is likely why it got dumped.
Another sign of the risk-on vibes was the very intense bond-selling that sent yields soaring. Japan's current monetary policy is to keep the yield of Japanese government bonds close to zero, so the widening yield between Japanese bonds and other bonds quite naturally made Japanese bonds even less attractive than before, which also likely dampened demand for the yen as well.
The Kiwi had a mixed reaction to the U.S. presidential elections. It then jumped higher when the RBNZ announced a widely-expected rate cut before tumbling back down when RBNZ Governor Wheeler said during the presser that "there's a 20% probability of a further cut," which implies that the RBNZ still has a slight easing bias.
Moreover, Wheeler had this to say on intervention:.
Normally, Wheeler refrains from discussing the possibility intervention, but he openly talked about it. He avoided answering on whether or not the RBNZ plans to intervene soon, though.
Forex Gump has a write-up on what else RBNZ Wheeler had to say, so read it here, if you're interested.
The Loonie came out mostly on top, even though oil benchmarks took a trip to negative territory for the week, largely on reports that OPEC increased its oil output to a record high of 33.64 million barrels per day in October. This exceeds September's reading by 240,000 barrels per day and made the market doubt OPEC's planned production cut.
The Loonie actually started the week with an advantage, given that it gapped higher against its rivals, likely on the back of news that the FBI won't be charging Clinton.
But as I noted earlier, the Greenback was able to advance against the Loonie when signs began to point to a Trump victory. This was likely because oil took a tumble back then, and this was blamed on expectations that the global economy would slow further under a Trump presidency, which would also mean lower demand for oil. Well, that's what some market analysts were saying. However, this was before it became heresy to even consider that a Trump presidency would be a good thing.
When it became imminent that Trump would win and when Clinton later offered her surrender to Trump, the Loonie rallied quite hard. It even managed to retake some ground from the Greenback. Aside from opposing currency price action and the slight recovery in oil prices, it also probably helped that Canadian PM Justin Trudeau vowed on Wednesday night to "move forward in a positive way" with regard to a Trump presidency, which likely eased some uncertainty, especially since Trump has expressed support for the Keystone XL pipeline in the past.
After that, the Loonie had a more mixed performance as oil suffered heavy losses due to the OPEC report I mentioned earlier.
The euro's price action was driven by U.S. elections, as y'all can see on the overlayed chart above. The euro strengthened across the board when Trump began to lead. And it likely helped that European equities were tumbling hard. However, when risk appetite returned, causing European equities to rally hard, it became the euro's turn to tumble.
And as I discussed earlier, some market analysts attributed the pound's strength during the week to weaker bearish pressure on the pound, now that market players are focusing on higher uncertainty in Europe in the wake of Brexit and Trump's victory, which may be signs that populist, anti-establishment movements in Europe would also prosper. This higher uncertainty likely weighed down on the euro as well.
It sounds repetitive by now, but the Swissy's price action was driven by the U.S. elections. Risk aversion dominated when signs began to point to a Trump victory, so the safe-haven Swissy got a lot of loving. Risk-taking later returned, so the poor Swissy got abandoned by its former lovers. That's sad! Anyhow, the Swissy's price action became mixed after that, but the prevalence of risk appetite is likely why the Swissy ended up being a net loser overall.
I'm sure you're pretty familiar with already, so I'll just run through it briefly. The higher-yielding Aussie fell hard when Trump began to lead and risk aversion drowned the markets. However, the Aussie manage to recover a bit when risk appetite later returned.
The Aussie then tried to rally further when risk-taking persisted. However, the Aussie (and the Kiwi as well) got crushed halfway through Thursday's morning London session. Unfortunately, there were no apparent catalysts and market analysts seem to be ignoring that wonky price action. There was also risk-taking aplenty and commodities (other than oil) were in rally mode back then, as I noted in my session recap, which makes it even weirder. Commodities did start dipping later, although the Aussie already returned a large chunk of its gains by then.
Anyhow, things made sense again come Friday when it seemed like Aussie traders traders were turning mainly to the sinking commodity prices, which likely weighed down on the comdoll.
Sweet! The 20.51% of you who voted for the pound got it right! I'm sure you're really happy right now, so congratulations. The 38.46% who voted for the Greenback almost got it right, but I'm sure you're still grinning from ear to ear, assuming you didn't get scared off during the initial Greenback slide when Trump began to lead. The 5.13% who voted for the Loonie would have also done well, assuming you spread your trades out a bit. Unfortunately, 17.95% of you voted for the yen. Hopefully, you were able to get out with only a scratch, or even some gains when the yen initially strengthened.
Anyhow, now that you know what the likely drivers were this week (well, it was just mostly about Trump's victory), and having taken a look at the forex calendar for next week, which currency do you think will come out on top next week? Vote in the poll below!

Basketball changes rules on hijabs
Basketball has changed its rules around headgear to allow the wearing of hijabs during matches.
The headgear had previously been banned due to security reasons according to the International Basketball Federation (FIBA).
In 2014 the Qatar women's team withdrew from the Asian Games after being denied permission on the wearing of hijabs during a match.
FIFA have earlier allowed the headgear for religious reasons during football matches.
The new rules will take effect from the 1st of October this year.

how empty they can be
But when I hold you in my arms
That's heaven to me
Who cares for fame and fortune
They're only passing things
But the touch of your lips on mine
Makes me feel like a king
Your kind of love
is a treasure I hold
It's so much greater
than silver or gold
I know that I have nothing
If you should go away
But to know that you love me
Brings fame and fortune my way
Recorded: 1960/03/20, first released on single

It was Stuck On You that hit me back in the day. That was the side which got played. I didn't flip that record too often. But, as years have gone by, I have come to love this well sung and beautiful ballad. 5 stars!

One of my favourites. I prefer this to the A Side but both are strong. He started the army as the best rock 'n' roll singer (Trouble, Hard Headed Woman, A Big Hunk O' Love etc.) and came out as the best ballad singer (Fame And Fortune, It's Now Or Never, Are You Lonesome Tonight, Surrender etc.). Looking back, there is a huge difference in the sound between his 1958 & 1960 recordings, which was amplified by the stereo sound of 1960. However both sets of recordings are remarkable in their own way. 5 stars!

The song is relatively unappealing, not to creative or original. But you couldn't go wfon with Elvis in Nashville in the early 60's. It's the singer, not the song.

One of Elvis' best ballads ever. Very heartfelt, and well sung. I love both sides of this record ,and reject the idea that Elvis ' first post army single was "watered down". This song and Stuck on You sounded great on the radio back in 1960. Does anyone recall how RCA rushed this out with a sleeve that mentioned niether side of the record!

This song is prompt beautiful. Well sung and having that typical Elvis feel of transmitting the intention. Who said there were no songs with meaning? Well, this one has! When it comes down to the essence of life, worldly gains like and fame and fortune have no bearing. And this song reminded me every time I heard it. SO I'm happy that this tune got stuck in my head. Fabulously outstanding. Easily 5 stars for me.

I have to laugh. Every time I turn around my reviews are very similar to "dgirl". I too believe this song to be much better than the so-called "A" Side "Stuck On You" (Which was really a safe but boring tune to put out by Elvis after his release from the Army). This song is definitely 5-Stars in my ratings. Stuck On You? Safe but boring.

5 Stars from me, Elvis was truly King of ballads also. I love how he looked on the Timex show, and he really chose two great songs to perform and to put on that killer single. The price for best ballad single of his career though must IMHO go to always on my mind/seperate ways.

Truly one of the best. I even like all the outtakes and the Timex special version too. My mom bought it new in 1960 and she too preferred it over Stuck On You.

Never got in to this ballad, and I think if it was done in 1967 would not have received such rave reviews.
I don't dislike it by any means, but Pocketful of Rainbows, and Doin' The Best I Can from G.I. Blues from around the same time, are a whole lot better to these ears.

It's hard to imagine that the B-side of Elvis' first post-Army single would be considered a lost classic, but it seemingly has been all but forgotten by everyone except his fans. You never hear it on the oldie stations and it is a shame. Sure the A-side "Stuck On You" was number one for four weeks, but this song had a solid effort on the charts all by itself (#17). A well written song, beautiful vocals, outstanding production and the Jordinaires excellent backing make this a 5 star track all the way.

Home » Like Making Bread….
If any of you have ever baked bread, you know that you are only supposed to knead the dough for so long before it starts to impact the quality of the final product. Some things aren't meant to be touched, if at all. Related to this is the old Vermont proverb, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it." Sometimes a client will come into the office and we'll decide the best thing to do in a particular situation is nothing at all. And that's my position on many of the changes being proposed to Vermont's Open Meeting Law (OML) and Public Records Act (PRA).
If there is something broken about the PRA it is the applicability to both the State and the political subdivisions thereof, also know as municipalities. Not that municipalities shouldn't be subject to the PRA, it is just that the PRA as it now exists was written around requests to State Government, not Local Government. Here are a couple of obvious examples. Who is the "head of the agency" (this head of agency language is replicated in the newly proposed revisions to the PRA as well) in respect to municipal government under 1 V.S.A. § 318(a)(3) of the PRA? A town manager? An individual selectboard member? The entire selectboard? How about this, what are intradepartmental and interdepartmental communications in respect to a municipality under1 V.S.A. § 317(a)(17)? How may municipalities in Vermont have departments?
But I digress. The latest proposed changes to the PRA and the OML fly in the face of sound public policy and take us closer to an Orwellian Surveillance State. How you ask? Well lets look at some of the proposed changes.
New language offered defines a "meeting" in part as "each communication within a series of communications of any kind, directly or through intermediaries, to discuss or take action on any business of the public body, even if the individual communication does not involve a quorum of the public body." That effectively means that selectboard members can no longer get together informally, in groups less then a quorum and then discuss the results of that meeting with anyone else, because how are they going to be able to regulate the dissemination of that discussion beyond the initial group? In larger towns and cities where there are regular caucuses held with less then a quorum, intermediaries will no longer be able to discuss the caucus results with anyone outside of the caucus. Remember, selectboard members are civically engaged, volunteer members of the community. You can only imagine the additional chilling effect this will have on the ability to recruit people to run for these types of positions.
One of the proposed changes to the PRA prohibits any type of fee from being charged for copying records, beyond the physical cost of copying providing "that an agency shall not charge or collect a fee for staff time spent searching for a public record or otherwise include this time when calculating fees…" Public records requests can involve sorting through 10s or 100s or 1000s or even 10s of thousands of emails and other types of documents. That takes time. Right now, the schedule set by the Vermont Secretary of State allows for a charge of 57 cents for each minute of senior-level staff time. For those of you not great at math, that's $34.20 an hour. And that's also applicable to the State which carries out its duties "in-house." What about when a municipality has to hire outside help to comply with a large and/or complex record request?
The pièce de résistance of the proposed changes to the PRA and OML involves the creation of an "Open Government Ombudsman." Now that sounds fantastic! The Ombudsman is hired by the Ethics Commission that I blogged about here. The same Ethics Commission that is supposed to be overseeing transparency and open government, according to the State Library Website, recently held a "special" public meeting, at a private law firm. In addition, as far as I can tell, as of the date of this publication, the Ethics Commission still does not have a working website (at least not one that I could readily find based on several Google searches).
The new legislation gives the Ombudsman very broad and far reaching powers. In particular, the Ombudsman may "receive and investigate complaints on behalf of persons seeking records under the Public Records Act or compliance with the Open Meeting Law. The Ombudsman shall have authority to compel, by subpoena, the attendance and testimony of witnesses and the production of books and records, and 3 V.S.A. §§ 809a and 809b shall apply to all subpoenas issued under this subdivision." However, as best as I can tell from the current revisions, there is no forum in which the Ombudsman will actualize these powers. When I say forum, I mean a tribunal such as a court or board or hearing officer, where due process requirements can be satisfied and the matter fairly adjudicated. For example, where are those witnesses going to be testifying? The Ombudsman is a prosecutor, without a court.
But wait, the new changes state that not only does the Ombudsman investigate matters, he or she will also "adjudicate questions of compliance [with the PRA or OML] by issuing a binding written determination." (Emphasis mine). So the Ombudsman is the investigator, prosecutor and judge? Hmmm, where have we seen this before? But wait there's a savings clause. The new amendments provide that a "party to an Open Meeting Law or a Public Records Act dispute is entitled to refuse to participate in mediation under subdivision (4) of this section and to refuse to submit to an adjudication under this subdivision." Does that mean the whole process is voluntary (and therefore meaningless) or just that the governmental entity cannot be compelled to participate in the adjudication, but still have to deal with the consequences of an adverse adjudication?
The amendments require the Ombudsman to "establish policies and procedures for receiving, investigating, mediating, and adjudicating Open Meeting Law and Public Records Act complaints and disputes." Those policies and procedures should prove to be fascinating.
Looks like there's still much work to be done. And it remains to be seen, but the heaviest lifting may yet be by person or persons who point out that the best path to take in this instance would be by declining to go down the garden path at all.


Chateau de Bourdeilles is actually a complex of two castles: one medieval castle, built in the thirteenth century on older foundations; and another castle which is a Renaissance palace of the sixteenth century. The entire site was listed as a historical monument in 1919.
Castle of the Counts (medieval) occupies the entire west terrace. It consists of a stately home with an octagonal tower and preceded by a courtyard surrounded by high fortified walls.
Geraud de Maulmont began its construction from 1283, according to a model similar to that adopted in Chalus for another of his castles, Châlus Maulmont.
The construction of the dungeon would have started around 1280 and would be completed in the following century. It is 35 meters high [10.6 stories high], with thick walls of 2.50 meters [8.2 feet] and topped by a panoramic terrace from where one has a breathtaking view of Bourdeilles.

Een gemengd koor is een koor dat uit mannelijke zowel als vrouwelijke zangers of kinderen bestaat.

Bezetting
De 'normale' stembezetting van een gemengd koor is sopraan, alt, tenor en bas. Kortweg wordt bij een gemengd koor de afkorting SATB gegeven; dit in tegenstelling tot een mannenkoor: daar is het TTBB. De sopranen en alten worden doorgaans bezet door het vrouwelijke deel van het koor, terwijl de tenoren en bassen het mannelijke deel vormen; het komt voor dat er zich bij de tenoren soms één of meerdere vrouwen bevinden. Het is de dirigent die bepaalt wie bij welke stem zingt aan de hand van een eenvoudige stemtest.

Geschiedenis
Gemengde koren bestonden reeds in de middeleeuwen, in klooster- en kapittelscholen, aanvankelijk in op oktaafinterval parallel lopende partijen, waarbij werd gezongen door paters en de schoolknapen. Het gemengd koor zoals men het heden ten dage kent ontstond in de 19e eeuw. In dit koorzingen waarbij vrouwen mochten participeren ziet men een eerste teken van de emancipatie van vrouwen. In deze gemengde koren werden al spoedig grote kerkelijke werken op het programma opgenomen. Men onderscheidt thans beroepskoren voor de opera en omroep, en amateurkoren of lekenkoren, zoals kerkkoren en oratoriumkoren of operetteverenigingen.

Vanessa Burgett
Creative direction, graphic design, interactive design
Associate in Applied Science
Hometown: Deerfield IL
Year graduated: 2003
Currently working at: Krannert Center for the Performing Arts
How does it feel to be a professional designer:
It's a very energizing profession to always be seeking out interesting solutions to then see your work in context. There is also constant exploration and looking to discover fresh perspectives. What's exciting as a professional is seeing the many different roles a designer can take on within a team, challenging the traditional scope of what it means to be a graphic designer.
How do you like your job:
I love being part of a talented creative team and the constant development that results from the merging of ideas. It's very rewarding to be part of a small team too since you're able to take on an active role in the overall creative process.
How did you get this job:
Waiting. I had heard a lot about Krannert Center's philosophies and I knew I wanted to be a part of that kind of environment. When a job opening became available, I took the leap.
What was the most exciting project you've worked on since graduation:
The Champaign-Urbana Micro-Urban video and the ELLNORA Guitar Festival website.
What were some of the most important things you learned while at Parkland:
To integrate sketching into your process no matter how painful it may be and to draw inspiration from a multitude of disciplines.
What do you wish you would have done differently when you were at Parkland:
I wish I would have put a lot more effort into my student projects. Your creativity can really thrive without the pressure of real-world clients and deadlines. I wish I had seen each project as more of an opportunity to really test my range as a designer.
Who is your favorite designer and why:
Hillman Curtis because of his informal design training. He proves that the development of your design skills can continue once you're out of school.
What is your favorite typeface and why:
I like light sans serif fonts because they have a certain casual elegance to them like Avenir but I also like the playful kitsch that can be achieved with a serif like Jubilat.

KANEOHE (HawaiiNewsNow) - First the warning signs went up around the He'eia Kea Harbor with the diagram of the new safety zone. Then state crews dropped off the six buoys out in the bay designating the boundaries. Inside the approximate 20 acre area people cannot drink or even have alcohol. They're not even supposed to come into the zone if they're under the influence but the key will be their conduct.
"If somebody comes in and has a body full of alcohol they can maintain their composure it's a higher level of proof to us so as long as they're not causing any problems we're not going to go out and look for people and say well you look inebriated and we're going to arrest you I mean if you're having fun with your family that's the whole purpose of this," said William Aila, Department of Land and Natural Resources Chair.
The safety zone is temporarily in effect on three day holiday weekends, including July Fourth, Labor Day and Admissions Day weekends.
People who frequent the harbor say it will take more than buoys to keep the peace. There needs to be plenty of officers to enforce the rules.
"People still going to drink. You can do all you want like at the public parks, there's no drinking but they still do. Enforcement, that's the key to everything really," said Dave Wilson, Ewa Beach. "The booze takes over and everybody becomes King Kong."
The new rules worry the new owner of the He'eia Pier General Store and Deli.
"We just took over the lease and of course long weekends are the busiest time over here. Guaranteed it will affect our business to some point," said Russ Inouye, He'eia Pier and General Store Co-Owner. "It's just sad because 99.9 percent of the people that use that sandbar don't abuse it. I just hope the people that caused a lot of this to happen learn from it and hopefully DLNR reassess the situation and can work it out for the people that don't abuse it and the people that do."
Captain Bob's Snorkeling Adventure is one of the few that actually has a liquor license from the Liquor Commission to drink out at the sandbar. But even they won't be allowed to have alcohol with the new emergency rules.
"I think it might deter some people but it won't deter all the people out here," said Rallen Caya, Captain Bob's Snorkeling Adventure. "My solution, I think they should check for DUI's at the pier when they come back, like a DUI checkpoint."
The Honolulu Police Department will be patrolling Kamehameha Highway looking for drunk drivers.
The state will have extra crews out on boats and on the pier keeping an eye on people. The DLNR director says the fines aren't set yet. If caught people would have to show up for a state hearing to receive their punishment something he says could be as high as $10,000.
The long term solution is a bit murky at the moment. If people don't behave it could lead to more severe changes. The state could make all visitors get a permit to be at the sandbar or last call would be closing off the sandbar completely and turning it into a nature preserve. A factor could come down to funding and if the state has the resources to adequately maintain staffing levels to enforce the safety rules.

01.04.2019 // This week's Favorite Photo Friday is about taking those steps into the unknown. Walking into the sunlight and being excited about what there is to see. It is about taking that leap and trusting everything will be OK.
Happy New Year! While at my age I can no longer party like its 1999, I dotry (and I mean try) to at least stay awake to watch the ball drop. It doesn't help that I am curled up on the sofa with my son and our dog wearing my PJs drinking warm milk; but I do try!
OK, so even if I cannot stay awake to the tick of 12 o'clock, I do enjoy the New Year's celebration. I like thinking of all my hopes & dreams and listing resolutions for the next 365 days. For me, the new year means a fresh start. A reset. A Mulligan. A do-over. An Ally – Ally in free. Plain and simple, the New Year for me is a chance to get it right and the opportunity to learn from my past.
I can say that some years seemed to have dragged on forever while other years slipped away in the blink of an eye. I have learned that as I get older, wishing for the future is wishing your life away. Live in the moment.
Like all year's past, 2019 has great things lined up with hope for the future and what is to come.
Bring it on 2019 ….

Macbeth MFFE Version 1.00 with castcards for 6 – 10 readers
Macbeth-book.jpg" data-rel="prettyPhoto[this_page]" title=""> The Play:
Macbeth is one Shakespeare's four great tragedies (the other being Hamlet, Othello, and King Lear. It was probably performed for the first time in 1606 or 1607 , though it's first recorded performance was in 1611. The play was written for King James (6th of Scotland, and 1st of England) who came to the throne in 1603.
Many elements of the play would appeal to the new king: it was a Scottish story; Banquo was an ancestor of the Stuarts; the king was interested in witchcraft and had written a treatise on it.
The play is now known as 'the Scottish play' as modern actors believe it is unlucky to name. It has a long perceived history of failures, and is often though of as a play better read for its poetry than performed.
The context:
In 1606 when Macbeth was first performed, the nation was in shock as a result of the Gunpowder plot, which excited the nation as much as 9/11 has affected our times. Many of the themes of the play are influenced by the conspiracy: is it acceptable to overthrow the legal annointed king; the equivocation of the porter's speech refers directly to the trial of Father Garnet , an 'equivocater', for his involvement in the Gunpowder Plot.
The C17 was also significantly more religious than our modern age. For an audience then, the story would be seen as Macbeth being tempted by witches, agents of the devil; Macbeth sells his soul to the devil, and in the second half of the play, his descent into despair and hell, would have a certain fascination as the consequence of selling his soul to the devil.
For a modern audience, Macbeth is a play of two halves. The first half is filled with drama: The temptation of Macbeth by the witches; the conflict between Macbeth and his wife, as she pushes him to murder the king; the excitement of the murder itself, and the fear of discovery when Macduff and Lennox arrive the next morning; interwoven with the grimly comic imaginings of the Porter; and finally the murder of Banquo and the appearance of his ghost at the Banquet
The second half, in contrast, can appear a little boring. It starts well with the witches scene in A4S1, followed by the murder of Lady Macduff and her children. But with the shift of the scene to England, Macduff's attempt to persuade Malcolm to go north to overthrow Macbeth, is diluted by Malcolm's pretense of being evil himself, and the discussion of the English king's ability to cure scrofula. Most disappointingly, we see no more of the relationship between Macbeth and Lady Macbeth. She appears once more, in the sleep-walking scene, He is a changed man, descending into evil and despair. The poetry is wonderful, but the drama is not.
Macbeth for 21st Century
A key issue for the director of a modern production of the play is how to re-balance the two halves of the play so they both maintain the audience's interest.
Our own approach has been to see the two halves of the play as separate stories. The first half explores the temptation of Macbeth and his wife; their succumbing to that temptation; and their descent into evil and despair. The second half of the play shows the bonding of the opposition to Macbeth into a force that can and does overthrow the evil king.
For this approach to work, we have to persuade the audience to change focus from Macbeth in the first half, to the liberating forces of Malcolm, Macduff, and Ross. We can encourage the audience to do this with a number of ploys:
Play the murder of Lady Macduff and her children as horrifically as possible so the audience are shocked into rejecting Macbeth.
Follow this up by majoring on Macduff's suffering when he learns of the murder of his family, which bonds the three men (Malcolm, Macduff, and Ross) to try to overthrow Macbeth. This probably requires some serious cutting of the scene (A4S3), particularly Malcolm's pretence of being evil, and the discussion of the English king's ability to cure scrofula
Play Act 5 with the audience in 'opposition' to Macbeth. In a promenade performance of the play, we achieved this by co-opting the audience as members of the English army, complete with pine branches, so they became Birnam wood on its way to Dunsinane. They saw Macbeth's scenes in Act 5 from within the English army, and could listen to his exquisite poetry of despair in opposition to him.

Big Sandy Fishing Report 06/12/05 - - - This thread has 1 message. Showing 1 through 1.
Decided to post this as a new topic. What the heck, you all know the lakes I fish. May as well make it an official report so to speak.
Good weekend finally on the home lake. Saturday weather sucked and spent most of the time in the rain gear... Oh well.
The bite was really lite. In fact, if you weren't paying attention, you would lose the fish. Did pretty good though. Me and the son and bro' caught about twenty 'eyes and kept 6 for dinner. Didn't want to be pigs about it. Sunday was a gas. We went out and released a bunch. A lot of little cigars, but a few we would have kept if we wanted. The son caught a 30" northern on his ultra-lite with 6 lb test. That was fun! I caught one too that was 28" - (he does outfish me sometimes).
All in all, a good weekend, little wet on Saturday, bit not bad. At least it wasn't cold.
We used primarily leeches. Couldn't get a bite on fatheads. Used either jigheads or plain hook and bounced the bottom. Almost all fish were caught in 10 to 14 feet. A few nice ones were caught in the river, most though, were out on the rockpiles. Summer is definitley here.

Q: Solr 8.6 - combine facets on multivalued dateRange field with exclude tags, negate and OR clause On Solr 8.6, I have a multivalued field of dateRange type which contains an availability table.
<field name="availabilities" docValues="false" type="dateRange" multiValued="true" indexed="true" required="false" stored="true"/>

"availabilities": [
  "[2021-12-22T00:00:00Z TO 2022-01-02T23:59:59Z]",
  "[2022-01-20T00:00:00Z TO 2022-02-02T23:59:59Z]",
  "[2022-02-10T00:00:00Z TO 2022-02-21T23:59:59Z]"
]

With a facet, I want to be able to select the available and/or unavailable people.
The Solr query is as follows and works well.
http://localhost:8985/solr/rby/select?facet=on&facet.query={!key="FQ4@Available now" ex=tag_availabilities}availabilities:[NOW TO NOW]&fl=id,availabilities&fq={!tag=tag_availabilities}availabilities:([NOW TO NOW])&q=*:*&rows=10&wt=json

For the unavailable people query, it does not work when I exclude NOW with {} like this.
http://localhost:8985/solr/rby/select?facet=on&facet.query={!key="FQ4@Unavailable" ex=tag_availabilities}availabilities:{NOW TO NOW}&fl=id,availabilities&fq={!tag=tag_availabilities}availabilities:({NOW TO NOW})&q=*:*&rows=10&wt=json

Solr answers with the following error:
"msg": "Wrong order: 2021-12-30T16:18:06.304 TO 2021-12-30T16:18:06.302",

I found a workaround with - before field but now I can't combine the two filters of the facet with an OR.
http://localhost:8985/solr/rby/select?facet=on&facet.query={!key="FQ4@Unavailable" ex=tag_availabilities}-availabilities:[NOW TO NOW]&fl=id,availabilities&fq={!tag=tag_availabilities}-availabilities:([NOW TO NOW])&q=*:*&rows=1000&wt=json

Thanks for your help

The Strange Life, Death and Reproductive Cycle of an Endangered Mussel
By Erica Peterson
Tigers, grizzly bears, sea turtles and humpback whales have long been mascots of endangered species. But then…there's the pink mucket, which once peppered river bottoms in Kentucky, but has been decimated by pollution.
Earlier this week, a team of scientists ventured into the Green River in an effort to reintroduce lab-grown pink muckets into their natural habitat.

"You better not get on my right side!" Monte McGregor warns. He's wearing a snorkel, preparing to go underwater. "Stand on this side because as soon as I blow my snorkel, you'll be in the direct path of my water."
Every time he comes up, McGregor's colleagues hand him four baby mussels to push into the river bed. The mussels are tiny…a little bit smaller than a penny.
"These animals today that we're releasing, the pink mucket—Lampsilis abrupta is the scientific name—are just as rare as things you see at the Louisville Zoo or out in the wild in Africa," McGregor says. But he's trying to change that.
McGregor is an aquatic scientist with the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife and he works in one of the nation's few mussel hatcheries. With his staff, he raises endangered species in the lab and then releases them into healthy waterways.
Nobody's going to put the pink mucket on a bumper sticker as a call to action for the environment—it's not nearly photogenic enough—but what McGregor's doing is restoring an essential part of the river ecosystem.
The mussels act as filters, consuming bacteria and cleaning the water. McGregor says these bivalves are a good barometer of a river's general health.
"These animals are probably the most sensitive animals that live in the rivers and streams today," he said. "They're similar to a canary in a coal mine. So if the canary dies, there's no oxygen. Same thing in the river. If these mussels are dying off, then something's going on in the water that's causing that water not to be clean anymore."
Besides killing mussels, pollution also wreaks havoc on their sex lives. Okay…so the muckets don't exactly have sex, but their reproduction is a team sport.
It takes bass—as in the fish—to make more muckets. When a female mucket is fertilized, she incubates the fetuses in her shell. Then she puts out a lure especially designed to attract bass. When the fish bites, she releases the fetuses. They stay on the bass for weeks, then drop off and live alone.
"It's not easily done. There's a lot of chances for that chain of events to break down," says Leroy Koch, a scientist with the U.S. Department of Fish and Wildlife.
"All they really need to do is replace themselves throughout their lifetime to keep their population stable," Koch said. "But I think often they're not even able to do that. So the immense numbers that females produce and that process, it's not real conducive to a quick population growth."
By growing them in a hatchery and releasing them into the river, Koch and McGregor hope to give the muckets a fighting chance in their natural habitat. The Green River has started to recover from years of pollution and now a single 10-mile stretch contains about 16 percent of all the species in the country.
Monte McGregor is in the river, too, exhilarated by his several minutes in the fifty-degree water.
Koch looks on.
"It's taken us a long time to get to this point," he said. "It's taken many years, many decades, to lose the mussel resource. It's going to take a while to recover. It's because of the condition of our streams. Everything that we put on the property, on the land, flows downstream. For mussels, it's pretty remarkable that we have as many left as we do."
And the scientists are hopeful. They've tagged all the mussels, and they'll be back in a year to check on them.


University-level assignments often ask you to locate Scholarly or Trade literature on your topic. While you might not have heard these terms before, telling the difference between a scholarly journal and a popular press source (like a magazine or newspaper) is actually quite easy. This chart will help you figure it out.
We have a downloadable and printable copy of this chart available for your use.
If you tried to use this chart and continue to have problems identifying what kind of sources you are working with, you could try asking a librarian or coming to a service desk for help.
