Q: How to listen for click events that are outside of a component I want to close a dropdown menu when a click occurs outside of the dropdown component.
How do I do that?

A: Using the life-cycle methods add and remove event listeners to the document.
React.createClass({
    handleClick: function (e) {
        if (this.getDOMNode().contains(e.target)) {
            return;
        }
    },

    componentWillMount: function () {
        document.addEventListener('click', this.handleClick, false);
    },

    componentWillUnmount: function () {
        document.removeEventListener('click', this.handleClick, false);
    }
});

Check out lines 48-54 of this component: https://github.com/i-like-robots/react-tube-tracker/blob/91dc0129a1f6077bef57ea4ad9a860be0c600e9d/app/component/tube-tracker.jsx#L48-54

A: In the element I have added mousedown and mouseup like this:
onMouseDown={this.props.onMouseDown} onMouseUp={this.props.onMouseUp}

Then in the parent I do this:
componentDidMount: function () {
    window.addEventListener('mousedown', this.pageClick, false);
},

pageClick: function (e) {
  if (this.mouseIsDownOnCalendar) {
      return;
  }

  this.setState({
      showCal: false
  });
},

mouseDownHandler: function () {
    this.mouseIsDownOnCalendar = true;
},

mouseUpHandler: function () {
    this.mouseIsDownOnCalendar = false;
}

The showCal is a boolean that when true shows in my case a calendar and false hides it.

A: I have written a generic event handler for events that originate outside of the component, react-outside-event.
The implementation itself is simple:

*

*When component is mounted, an event handler is attached to the window object.

*When an event occurs, the component checks whether the event originates from within the component. If it does not, then it triggers onOutsideEvent on the target component.

*When component is unmounted, the event handler is detacthed.

import React from 'react';
import ReactDOM from 'react-dom';

/**
 * @param {ReactClass} Target The component that defines `onOutsideEvent` handler.
 * @param {String[]} supportedEvents A list of valid DOM event names. Default: ['mousedown'].
 * @return {ReactClass}
 */
export default (Target, supportedEvents = ['mousedown']) => {
    return class ReactOutsideEvent extends React.Component {
        componentDidMount = () => {
            if (!this.refs.target.onOutsideEvent) {
                throw new Error('Component does not defined "onOutsideEvent" method.');
            }

            supportedEvents.forEach((eventName) => {
                window.addEventListener(eventName, this.handleEvent, false);
            });
        };

        componentWillUnmount = () => {
            supportedEvents.forEach((eventName) => {
                window.removeEventListener(eventName, this.handleEvent, false);
            });
        };

        handleEvent = (event) => {
            let target,
                targetElement,
                isInside,
                isOutside;

            target = this.refs.target;
            targetElement = ReactDOM.findDOMNode(target);
            isInside = targetElement.contains(event.target) || targetElement === event.target;
            isOutside = !isInside;

            if (isOutside) {
                target.onOutsideEvent(event);
            }
        };

        render() {
            return <Target ref='target' {... this.props} />;
        }
    }
};

To use the component, you need wrap the target component class declaration using the higher order component and define the events that you want to handle:
import React from 'react';
import ReactDOM from 'react-dom';
import ReactOutsideEvent from 'react-outside-event';

class Player extends React.Component {
    onOutsideEvent = (event) => {
        if (event.type === 'mousedown') {

        } else if (event.type === 'mouseup') {

        }
    }

    render () {
        return
Hello, World!
;
    }
}

export default ReactOutsideEvent(Player, ['mousedown', 'mouseup']);

A: I voted up one of the answers even though it didn't work for me.  It ended up leading me to this solution.  I changed the order of operations slightly.  I listen for mouseDown on the target and mouseUp on the target.  If either of those return TRUE, we don't close the modal.  As soon as a click is registered, anywhere, those two booleans { mouseDownOnModal, mouseUpOnModal } are set back to false.
componentDidMount() {
    document.addEventListener('click', this._handlePageClick);
},

componentWillUnmount() {
    document.removeEventListener('click', this._handlePageClick);
},

_handlePageClick(e) {
    var wasDown = this.mouseDownOnModal;
    var wasUp = this.mouseUpOnModal;
    this.mouseDownOnModal = false;
    this.mouseUpOnModal = false;
    if (!wasDown && !wasUp)
        this.close();
},

_handleMouseDown() {
    this.mouseDownOnModal = true;
},

_handleMouseUp() {
    this.mouseUpOnModal = true;
},

render() {
    return (
        <Modal onMouseDown={this._handleMouseDown} >
               onMouseUp={this._handleMouseUp}
            {/* other_content_here */}
        </Modal>
    );
}

This has the advantage that all the code rests with the child component, and not the parent.  It means that there's no boilerplate code to copy when reusing this component.

A: *

*Create a fixed layer that spans the whole screen (.backdrop).

*Have the target element (.target) outside the .backdrop element and with a greater stacking index (z-index).

Then any click on the .backdrop element will be considered "outside of the .target element".
.click-overlay {
    position: fixed;
    left: 0;
    right: 0;
    top: 0;
    bottom: 0;
    z-index: 1;
}

.target {
    position: relative;
    z-index: 2;
}

*

*Here is an example: http://jsfiddle.net/LHmwd/

*More on the discussion: https://github.com/facebook/react/issues/579

A: You could use refs to achieve this, something like the following should work.
Add the ref to your element:

 { this.myElement = element; }}>

You can then add a function for handling the click outside of the element like so:
handleClickOutside(e) {
  if (!this.myElement.contains(e)) {
    this.setState({ myElementVisibility: false });
  }
}

Then finally, add and remove the event listeners on will mount and will unmount.
componentWillMount() {
  document.addEventListener('click', this.handleClickOutside, false);  // assuming that you already did .bind(this) in constructor
}

componentWillUnmount() {
  document.removeEventListener('click', this.handleClickOutside, false);  // assuming that you already did .bind(this) in constructor
}

A: Look at the target of the event, if the event was directly on the component, or children of that component, then the click was inside. Otherwise it was outside.
React.createClass({
    clickDocument: function(e) {
        var component = React.findDOMNode(this.refs.component);
        if (e.target == component || $(component).has(e.target).length) {
            // Inside of the component.
        } else {
            // Outside of the component.
        }

    },
    componentDidMount: function() {
        $(document).bind('click', this.clickDocument);
    },
    componentWillUnmount: function() {
        $(document).unbind('click', this.clickDocument);
    },
    render: function() {
        return (

                ...

        )
    }
});

If this is to be used in many components, it is nicer with a mixin:
var ClickMixin = {
    _clickDocument: function (e) {
        var component = React.findDOMNode(this.refs.component);
        if (e.target == component || $(component).has(e.target).length) {
            this.clickInside(e);
        } else {
            this.clickOutside(e);
        }
    },
    componentDidMount: function () {
        $(document).bind('click', this._clickDocument);
    },
    componentWillUnmount: function () {
        $(document).unbind('click', this._clickDocument);
    },
}

See example here: https://jsfiddle.net/0Lshs7mg/1/

A: For your specific use case, the currently accepted answer is a tad over-engineered. If you want to listen for when a user clicks out of a dropdown list, simply use a <select> component as the parent element and attach an onBlur handler to it.
The only drawbacks to this approach is that it assumes the user has already maintained focus on the element, and it relies on a form control (which may or may not be what you want if you take into account that the tab key also focuses and blurs elements) - but these drawbacks are only really a limit for more complicated use cases, in which case a more complicated solution might be necessary.
 var Dropdown = React.createClass({

   handleBlur: function(e) {
     // do something when user clicks outside of this element
   },

   render: function() {
     return (
       <select onBlur={this.handleBlur}>
         ...
       </select>
     );
   }
 });

A: Super late to the party, but I've had success with setting a blur event on the parent element of the dropdown with the associated code to close the dropdown, and also attaching a mousedown listener to the parent element that checks if the dropdown is open or not, and will stop the event propagation if it is open so that the blur event won't be triggered.
Since the mousedown event bubbles up this will prevent any mousedown on children from causing a blur on the parent.
/* Some react component */
...

showFoo = () => this.setState({ showFoo: true });

hideFoo = () => this.setState({ showFoo: false });

clicked = e => {
    if (!this.state.showFoo) {
        this.showFoo();
        return;
    }
    e.preventDefault()
    e.stopPropagation()
}

render() {
    return (

            {this.state.showFoo ? <FooComponent /> : null}

    )
}

...

e.preventDefault() shouldn't have to be called as far as I can reason but firefox doesn't play nice without it for whatever reason. Works on Chrome, Firefox, and Safari.

A: I found a simpler way about this.
You just need to add onHide(this.closeFunction) on the modal
<Modal onHide={this.closeFunction}>
...
</Modal>

Assuming you have a function to close the modal.

A: Use the excellent react-onclickoutside mixin:
npm install --save react-onclickoutside

And then
var Component = React.createClass({
  mixins: [
    require('react-onclickoutside')
  ],
  handleClickOutside: function(evt) {
    // ...handling code goes here...
  }
});

A good size circuit from the carpark. Take the Wetland loop to Directa. Climb Directa to Jungle Gym, and carry onto climbing until Labyrinth. At the top of Labyrinth head down Spoonhill - 491 - and back onto Spoonhill all the way to Nga Tuna. At the bottom of Nga Tuna veer right around the Wetland loop back to Directa. Climb Directa and turn left into Beeline (don't forget to drop of the ramps) and head through Beeline extension to the carpark. Great fun!


Remember these seven words: Stick with beverages that contain no calories.
For the most part, that means water, coffee, tea, and diet soda.
These are your choices because most drinks -- other than those already mentioned -- are packed with carbohydrates, which are off-limits during the Fat-Burning Time Zone.
In addition, it's way too easy to over-consume liquid calories. And they have little impact on appetite.
So skip the caloric drinks and focus on beverages for hydration. And don't forget the the other valuable compounds -- such as antioxidants -- that they provide.
This guideline doesn't apply to protein shakes. Protein shakes are filling and reduce appetite.
And if you're in the Reloading Time Zone, you can add milk, kefir, and 100 percent fruit and vegetable juices to your drink list.
As for alcohol, we like it, and in fact, think it's perfectly fine in moderation. We'll explain further down.
In short, simply drink as many no-calorie beverages -- water, coffee, tea, and diet drinks -- as you desire, and allow yourself as many as one to two alcoholic beverages per day. For more details on each, read on.
As a general rule, try to drink eight to 12 ounces of water for every 2 hours you're awake. That ensures that you're well hydrated, especially in the Fat-Burning Time Zone, since low-carbohydrate diets have a natural diuretic effect.
This natural diuretic effect isn't bad; it just means your body isn't retaining as much water as normal, and that you need to make sure you're providing it with plenty of incoming H2O. This is especially true if you drink caffeinated beverages -- coffee, tea, diet soda -- which also act as diuretics.
You muscles are 80 percent water. Even as little as a one percent decrease in body water has been shown to impair exercise performance and adversely affect recovery. And researchers in Germany found that protein synthesis occurs at a higher rate in muscle cells that are well-hydrated. Water is good; drink lots of it.
After years of research, most health experts regard coffee as not only safe, but highly recommended. In fact, a recent study in the Journal of the American Medical Association found no evidence of an association between heart-disease risk and coffee consumption of up to six cups per day. Plus, it's packed with disease-fighting antioxidants.
In the Fat-Burning Time Zone, use cream to flavor; in the Reloading Zone, use milk. In any Time Zone, you can use products such as NutraSweet, Equal, Splenda or Sweet'N Low to sweeten.
The best choice at Starbucks? A Café Americano, which is nearly carb-free. A 16-ounce grande contains just 3 grams of carbs, an amount not even worth worrying about it.
Tea is widely known for its beneficial health effects. And you can thank its high content of catechins, antioxidants that help fight cancer, heart disease, and Alzheimer's. Tea also helps reduce stress, according to U.K. researchers. Antioxidants in the tea may act on areas of your brain that calm your central nervous system.
Although green tea gets the most press, black and herbal teas provide similar health benefits. To get the most from any product, steep your tea for at least 3 minutes. Just as with coffee, you can flavor with cream (Fat-Burning Time Zone) or milk (Reloading Time Zone) and use artificial sweeteners as desired.
Diet sodas and other diet drinks such as Crystal Light make our list for one reason: They have 5 or fewer calories per serving and no physiological effect on your ability to lose fat.
They also don't have any health benefits. So feel free to drink them, but in addition to the recommended amount of water, and with the knowledge that unsweetened coffee and tea are better choices.
Also, a quick word about artificial sweeteners: The majority of research on aspartame (NutraSweet), sucralose (Splenda), and saccharin (Sweet'N Low), shows them to be safe for human consumption. Yet there are some rodent studies, as well as anecdotal reports in humans, that suggest they may carry negative side effects in high amounts. What's that mean to you? Don't consume them in huge amounts!
In moderation, alcohol appears to improve levels of good cholesterol and has a relaxing, stress-reducing effect. Wine and hard liquor don't contain carbohydrates, and "light" beers only have a couple of grams of carbs per 12-ounce serving.
The downside is that excessive amounts of alcohol prevent your body from burning fat for energy. This effect is exacerbated when combined with carbohydrates, such as those found in regular beer or in mixers.
You can toe the line by sticking with one or two drinks -- at most -- per day. In fact, you'll find a glass of wine makes the perfect complement to any meal.
2. Avoid regular beer. It's packed with carbohydrates. Go with a light beer that contains less than three grams of carbohydrate per serving (12 ounces).

Castlevania Season 3 Review
Anime, Anime Reviews, Gaming
by ElToxic
My Hero Academia : Heroes Rising Soars at American Box Office
How does the series survive life after Dracula?
A focus on characters rather than plot.
Castlevania, which prides itself as being one of the finest video game adaptation ever released its 3rd season in the first week of March.
Source – Castlevania
Killing off the great evil Dracula in the second season, left fans wondering what to expect. Losing its villain made an already unpredictable show way more unpredictable. What direction would the directors follow next?
The producers and show runners – Adi Shankar, Warren Ellis and Kevin Kolde all did an amazing job this season, comfortably filling the void created by the demise of Dracula and in the process making what could be said to be the strongest season of the series yet.
The season starts with Alucard now manning his father's now immovable castle, loneliness has gotten the better of him, while Sypha and Trevor travel together killing monsters.
Carmilla heads to Styria with her captive forge master – Hector, while Isaac begins his journey to gather an army and avenge his fallen lord. The major characters are scattered and they all tow different paths this season … never to cross each other.
One major aspect that sets Castlevania out from other shows is the focus on conversations, as this is a major part of the character development.
Witty conversations laced with characterized sarcastic humor leading to deep philosophical discussions have been the theme from season 1. It is obvious this season through the characters of Isaac and the debutant Saint Germain.
Saint Germain turns out to be the best addition this season, his character feels right at home, as though we've known him right from the 1st season. The mysteriously knowledgeable noble man turned out to be an unlikely hero in the end.
Carmilla's arc was brilliant, showcasing her relationship and interactions with her Vampire sisters (The ruling court of Styria- Lenore, Morana and Striga).
We all expected a war from Carmilla, and for it to be bigger than expected. However, the slow pace of this season ended before Carmilla's war; but, it is coming.
Coronavirus Accidentally Recreates Death Stranding In Real Life
Fan favorites, Sypha, Belnades and Trevor Belmont have built on their relationship, killing monsters together as an actual couple leads them to the town of Lindenfeld. Here we get to meet some new characters – the Judge, Saint Germain and the creepy Monk Prior Sala.
Trevor and Sophia's arc is the main focus of this season, as we spend more time in Lindenfeld investigating the abomination being perpetuated by the broken monks and the aftermath of their actions.
Season 3 brings to the forefront more of the brutal fight scenes we have missed so much, but something else has been added — SEX. The sexual tension built over time finally pays off as sexual scenes are blended so well to give way for epic fight scenes…. who would have thought?
The scene where Isaac speaks to the ship Captain is a personal favorite of mine, intellectual discussions that lead to Isaac questioning his commitments reminds us of why we love this series.
Manipulation and mistrust – Lenore and Hector, as well as Alucard as his students. It all ends in blood as Alucard notices similarities between him and his "dead old dad".
Season 3 of Castlevania is a solid piece of art that moves the story from Dracula's death unto bigger things yet to come. An excellent season.

Q: Paypal checkout. Customize "Cancel and return to" text. I'm developing a marketplace which allows users to list items for sell. When an user buys something my application calls the PayPal API and sends the buyer to the Express Checkout page. I've been able to change the logo on the header and some other fields, however I'm not able to change the text "Cancel and return to -selleremail-". I would like that instead of the -selleremail- it showed my website name. According to what I been reading so far, you need a PayPal business account to change this text, however, I've seen that for instance on Etsy, in the same checkout page, they have managed to change this text, even if they, like me, aren't the receivers of the money.
Any idea?

Inspired by this post over at Planet Algol (and with Blair's permission to pursue this), I've decided, likely foolishly, to put together a book with the help of anyone who's willing to donate their time, energy, and creativity to it. The working title is Petty Gods and it's intended as an homage to Judges Guild's awesome Unknown Gods, which presented 83 minor gods -- complete with stats -- for use in your D&D adventures and campaigns.
And when I say "minor gods," I mean it: we're talking deities like the goddess of dancing girls, the god of summer storms, and the goddess of deep water fish, among others. That's the vibe I'm aiming for with this project too. If anything, I'd prefer that the divinities in Petty Gods be even more minor, esoteric, and obscure than those in Unknown Gods -- the kinds of beings worshiped only by a handful of devoted (and probably crazed) followers and whose power is limited enough that they could conceivably be offed by a party of appropriately bloody-minded PCs. In short, this is a "Monster Manual" for swords-and-sorcery in the manner of Elric.
So, here's the plan. If you're interested in participating in this project, send a description of the minor god(s) to me at jmaliszeATgmail.com with the tag [Petty Gods] in the subject line, using the format presented below. There's no limit to the number of words per submission as such but each deity should have no more than a paragraph or two of descriptive text; the idea here is to be evocative and inspirational rather than exhaustive. If possible, stats should be as compatible with Labyrinth Lord as possible, since that's my go-to game for "generic" old school D&D, but I can make adjustments as necessary, if you make a submission using OSRIC or Swords & Wizardry or whatever.
I'd also love to get some artwork for this project. Unknown Gods includes an illustration for every deity, such as Paul Jaquays's portrait of Tangadorn above. That's probably too much to expect in this case, but a guy can dream, can't he? So, if you're an artist with lots of spare time and a willingness to do some pro bono illustrating, I'd be in your debt if you'd drop me a line too. I won't know how many illustrations I'll need until after I get all the submissions in -- which reminds me: the deadline for submission is December 31, 2010, though I reserve the right to extend it a little beyond that date if I deem it useful to do so. But, if you're at all interested in contributing, I recommend doing your best to get your stuff to me before the end of the year.
This is a volunteer project without any compensation beyond a free PDF of the final product, so I don't begrudge anyone who prefers to devote their creativity to other, more lucrative projects. I'll also make the book available through Lulu.com at cost, since I know there are many folks, such as myself, who prefer physical books to electronic ones. My goal isn't to make any money off this, but simply to put together a cool collaborative project that fills a niche no one else has yet filled. This is the kind of thing at which the old school community excels, so I have little doubt I'll get great submissions.
Each entry should also include a specialized Reaction Table to represent how the minor god reacts to any who encounter him. The standard Reaction Table uses a 2D6 roll, modified by Charisma, but, these being gods, and petty ones at that, their tables could just as easily use 1D20, 2D12, 3D6, or whatever and be modified by other ability scores. Use your imagination. The important thing is that each petty god make an interesting potential enemy or ally of PCs in a swords-and-sorcery style fantasy campaign. Go wild!
I'll post a sample petty god on my blog Saturday, in case anyone is unclear about what I'm asking for here. Thanks in advance to everyone who submits. This is going to be fun.
I loved Unknown Gods back in the day. Never could understand why I never saw any of those deities in any JG modules.
This sounds awesome and believe it or not, I (he who dislikes D&D and hasn't used a 'Reaction Table' in over 25 years) would love to participate.
I can certainly do artwork but I may have a little trouble with the rules section of the task. Could you point out a product or site (or post of yours) that shows a Reaction Table. When I say I haven't used one I mean I just don't even remember what they look like or are for to be honest.
I'd also be happy to help you with the stats if you're having trouble, as I'm sure lots of other people would. I'm frankly amazed at how much interest this project has already generated. I have a feeling it's going to be even better than I'd anticipated.
In fact, I have a dictionary of Roman gods. Good suggestion. For literary inspiration, Liavek had some great minor gods.
Oh, I can climb onboard for this. I'll chime in for both submissions and art monkey. I'm not pro, but I'm okay.
I'm not pro, but I'm okay.
This isn't a pro project, so you're in good company. Welcome aboard!
It'll probably become clear when you post the example god, but, in the meantime could you clarify a little about the "specialized" reaction table for the gods? Do you mean modifiers to the regular reaction table, or whole new entries?
In standard LL, the lower you roll on 2D6, with high Charisma providing bonuses to help you achieve that, the more friendly and enthusiastic the reaction from the creature in question. What I'm thinking is that each petty god's reactions would be determined by a different table, with each entry tailored to explain just what say "Friendly" means in the case of the god of toothaches or what "Hostile" means in the case of the goddess of bookbinding. And of course, petty gods are still gods, however minor, so they might not be affected by mortal Charisma but by other ability scores, like the god of arm wrestling who is impressed by high Strength or the goddess of grammar who likes high Intelligence types.
@ Barking Alien: Just download Labyrinth Lord -- there's a Reaction Table in there. I had to locate my copy to find out what a Hoard Class was and whether it differed from the alphabetic Treasure Tables of my youth.
I consider myself fairly good at pen & ink, James; I wouldn't mind lending my skills.
Yes, very much so. Thank you.
This promises to be an awesome book, James. Most of my creative energy is going into my projects with LotFP, but I hope to be able to submit to you some petty gods.
Haha, the post title reminds me of one of my favorite exchanges from one of my favorite books.
"You seem somewhat petty for a God,"
"I am a petty God at the moment. You will find me more lordly and benign when I achieve the position of a greater God."
Props if one can name that novel, it is not too obscure.
My rule-fu is weak, but I would be very happy to contribute as many drawings as you need.
I'd love an example (or three) of a complete entry. Just so I can fit the style and format.
Though I'll wait for your example, I'd love to contribute, having already started thinking up stuff like this for the Lankhmar-inspired supernatural mentors in my mini-setting. I will see what I can come up with. I can probably slap together an almost-half-decent illustration, too.
I'll echo others' sentiment that I'd love to contribute but need to see an example first.
I got: "Zou, God of Neutering and Botched Suicides".
What a fun project. I'm sure I can come up with 2 or 3 entries for it along with some art.
I sent you an entry. I gave the god an unusual way of interacting with the party rather than a specialized reaction table. If that's not cool, I'm sure I can come up with a table as well.
This is a fun idea. I'll definitely submit something.
I like this. Kinda like The Lives of the Saints for D&D!
I will try to get something together for this as well. Crazy obscure, crazy and obscure . . . Much to ponder.
Outstanding idea! I've actually got an extremely-minor goddess I already used for one adventure in my current campaign that I will put together in LL rules format and send your way!
word verification: tricey (adj.) used to describe an act that would, under most conditions, be considered trivial (not to mention quick), but which in the current situation could be life-or-death.
Sounds awesome, I'll send you a few also!
Just drop me an email so I can add your name to the list of artists to contact once I'm ready to do so.
Sounds like something from Moorcock, though I can't quite place it at the moment.
That'd be great. Drop me an email, so I can add you to the list.
Sweet, I'd like to contribute both art and a few gods.
When you submit something, let me know that you're willing to do art as well, so I can add you to the list.
Regarding similar entries, if that is in regard to two deities of swords or fire, I'd say use both of them if they're good...weirdo, petty gods have no monopolies!
That's more or less the conclusion I came to as well.
Hey, I could do a couple illos for the book. Drop me a line at umlauthuth at gmail. Sooner is better, though, since I'm not really occupied at the moment.
-Sounds like something from Moorcock, though I can't quite place it at the moment.
Of course, I knew you would get it. From the Swords Trilogy, when Corum is first encountering the sorcerer Shool, whome Arioch allows to for his own purposes.

J.C. Penney, Macy's, Sears and Walmart all have problems, according to one fund manager.
J.C. Penney (JCP - Get Report) once again went all-in on Thanksgiving, opening early nationwide for the second straight year and staying open through the night. Unfortunately, all those extra hours are still not going to help the stock in the long run, said Phil Bak, CEO of ACSI Funds.
"Customer satisfaction has declined 3% in the past year at J.C. Penney," said Bak. "Actually, it was already low to begin with, which means customer retention will be a challenge even if they aggressively discount."
Two weeks ago, the retailer reported an adjusted loss of 21 cents a share, which was in line with analyst estimates. J.C. Penney, up 40% year-to-date, generated net sales of $2.857 billion, a 1.4% decrease from the year ago period and also less than what analysts were expecting for the quarter.
ACSI Funds seeks to provide broad equity exposure to investors through its proprietary American Customer Satisfaction Index to predict changes in public company earnings and performance, Bak said.
Bak is also negative on Macy's (M - Get Report) , which has seen its shares surge 16% since election day, primarily due to its decision to close underperforming stores.
"Macy's has had terrible customer satisfaction in their brick-and-mortar stores, and it's even worse online," said Bak. "Macy's is not even close to the class of a Nordstrom (JWN - Get Report) and has fallen even closer to Walmart (WMT - Get Report) ."
Sears (SHLD , which is down 39% year to date, is another old-school retailer that Bak is avoiding due to its poor customer satisfaction. Bak said competition from other retailers in 2017 it will make it "harder for them to survive."
Finally, Bak is anything but bullish on Walmart, which has seen its stock drop 16% thus far in 2016.
"Walmart has always been at the bottom of all retailers when it comes to customer satisfaction," said Bak. "And now we are starting to see Costco (COST - Get Report) steal share from Walmart as more bargain hunters widen their searches."

Q: Who was the guy dressed in grey in "Transformers: Age of Extinction"? I watched Transformers: Age Of Extinction a while ago and I came across this scene in the movie. I kept on rewinding the scene to try and make sense of it. Was this a mistake?
Was the guy dressed in grey a civilian in the movie? What was his purpose?

A: From the picture, I can see your "gray guy" is: A) holding some sot of gun, and B) has clothing that looks like some sort of uniform. He appears to be a soldier. I do not know his purpose; as he is probably just some insignificant man/soldier.

A: I've seen somewhere (can't find the source) in a compilation of movie mistakes that it was a FX/fireworks technician that has been forgotten to be removed in final cut.

Corsia purpurata ist eine blattgrünlose Pflanzenart aus der Familie der Corsiaceae. Die Art ist nur aus Neuguinea und Neuirland bekannt, es sind zwei Varietäten beschrieben.

Merkmale
Wie alle Arten der Gattung hat auch Corsia purpurata die Photosynthese aufgegeben und bildet dementsprechend kein Chlorophyll mehr. Stattdessen lebt sie myko-heterotroph von einem Mykorrhizapilz, der in Symbiose mit einer weiteren Pflanze lebt.

Corsia purpurata ist eine ausdauernde Pflanze, die nur zur Blütezeit oberirdisch wächst. Aus dem Rhizom sprießen dann bis zu 15 Zentimeter lange, zylindrische und rot überhauchte Stängel. Die 12 bis 15 Millimeter langen Blätter sind auf fünfnervige Schuppenblätter reduziert.

Die aufrechten Einzelblüten sind endständig und stehen an Blütenstielen, die unbehaart und 20 bis 30 Millimeter lang sind. Von den sechs Blütenblättern (je drei Tepalen in zwei Blütenblattkreisen) sind fünf lanzettlich bis eiförmig-lanzettlich. Die inneren Blütenblätter sind dabei gelegentlich ein wenig kleiner als die äußeren, 5 bis 6 Millimeter lang und rund 2 Millimeter breit, einnervig und unbehaart. Das oberste sechste, das sogenannte Labellum, ist purpurn, rhombisch-kreisförmig bis elliptisch-kreisförmig, am äußersten Ende stumpf und mit 10 bis 13 Millimeter Länge und 9 bis 10 Millimeter Breite im Vergleich zu den anderen Blütenblättern stark vergrößert. Es umschließt anfangs die Blütenknospe und überdeckt nach ihrer Öffnung schützend die anderen Blütenorgane. Am keilförmigen Ansatz ist das Labellum über einen außen mit einer Rippe durchzogenen Steg aus Kallusgewebe am Gynostemium verwachsen ("genagelt"), es wird von einer Mittelrippe und auf jeder Seite von vier oder fünf, vielfach verzweigten Parallelnerven durchzogen.

Das Gynostemium ist 0,5 Millimeter lang, der freie Anteil der Staubblätter erreicht 1 Millimeter Länge, die Staubbeutel sind 0,8 bis 1,2 Millimeter lang. Der Griffel misst rund 25 Millimeter, der Fruchtknoten rund 9 Millimeter. Die Frucht ist eine Kapsel und 2,5 bis 3 Zentimeter lang.

Verbreitungsgebiet
Corsia purpurata ist nur zweimal gesammelt worden, der Holotyp stammt aus dem Westen von Neuguinea am Bele River in einer Höhenlage von 2300 Meter. Ein weiterer Fund stammt aus Neuirland im Hans-Meyer-Gebirge in einer Höhenlage von 750 Meter, in Laubhumus. Die beiden Fundorte sind die jeweiligen loci classici der beiden bekannten Varietäten.

Systematik
Corsia purpurata wurde 1946 von Louis Otho Williams erstbeschrieben und gehört zur Sektion Unguiculatis der Gattung. 1998 wurde durch Wayne N. Takeuchi und John J. Pipoly III die Varietät wiakabui erstbeschrieben, der Name ehrt den papuanischen Botaniker Joseph Wiakabu.

 Corsia purpurata var. purpurata: West-Neuguinea
 Corsia purpurata var. wiakabui : Bismarck-Archipel (Neuirland), Labellum fächerförmig, am äußersten Ende spitz zulaufend und am Blattgrund wie gestutzt. Sie wurde 2008 auch in den Rang einer Art erhoben: Corsia wiakabui

Molecular biologist
Holliday junction
Robin Holliday FRS FAA (6 November 1932 – 9 April 2014) was a British molecular biologist.[1] Holliday described a mechanism of DNA-strand exchange that attempted to explain gene-conversion events that occur during meiosis in fungi. That model first proposed in 1964 and is now known as the Holliday Junction.[2][3]
Education and employment[edit]
Holliday held a B.A. in Natural Sciences and a PhD in genetics from Cambridge University. He was a Fellow of the Royal Society, a Fellow Australian Academy of Science (FAA), a member of the European Molecular Biology Organization, a Foreign Fellow of the Indian National Science Academy, and held the 1987 Lord Cohen Medal for Gerontological research. He was formerly the Head of the Genetics Division, National Institute for Medical Research, (Medical Research Council), Mill Hill, London, UK, and prior to his death was a retired Chief Research Scientist, CSIRO Division of BioMolecular Engineering, Sydney, Australia.
Epigenetic research[edit]
In 1975 he suggested that DNA methylation could be an important mechanism for the control of gene expression in higher organisms, and this has now become documented as a basic epigenetic mechanism in normal and also cancer cells. In 1988 he moved to a Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation CSIRO laboratory in Sydney, Australia, where he continued to study ageing, and his book Understanding Ageing was published in 1995. He was a biogerontologist and mentored several successful biogerontologists, including Suresh Rattan, editor-in-chief of the journal Biogerontology. The main focus of his experimental work was the epigenetic control of gene expression by DNA methylation in CHO cells. These experiments provide direct evidence that DNA methylation is a primary cause of gene silencing in mammalian cells.
Holliday was the author of numerous books, including;
The Science of Human Progress, Oxford University Press, Oxford, 1981;
Genes, Proteins and Cellular Aging, Van Nostrand Reinhold, New York, 1986
Understanding Aging, Cambridge University Press, Cambridge England, 1995

Smart pulls cover off new Fortwo Cabriolet
Bigger roof in new colours highlight changes to convertible Smart car
Published: August 29, 2015, 3:00 AM
2016 Smart Fortwo Cabriolet
Daimler is readying a new Smart Fortwo convertible for its public introduction at the Frankfurt Motor Show, with a debut in North America planned for summer 2016.
The iconic micro-car is heading into its third generation (fourth, if you count the original City that was also unveiled at Frankfurt, back in 1999) again with a fully automatic canvas roof Smart calls a "tritop," which takes the car from fully enclosed to completely open in 12 seconds (even at speed). A wind deflector is available as an option and an in-between stop means the top also acts as a sunroof.
The top, which can also be operated via the remote, is reportedly tested over 20,000 cycles at temperatures between minus-15 and 80 degrees Celsius. An "abuse" test is also performed at minus-40 with an iced roof in order to check the roof's drive-motor overload protection. Other tests include drenching the car to test for leaks, and wind-tunnel testing to check for drafts.
About four percent larger than on the current model, it is made up of three layers – the outside is a lightweight polyacrylic fabric and the inside is a polyester/cotton blend. A rubber middle layer acts as sound and weather insulator – with the thickness kept to about three quarters of an inch. It comes in three colours – denim blue, red or black – with the removable roof bars available in the colour of the Tridion cell. How the top colours work with body panel colours is not yet revealed.
The profile is definitively Smart, with its passenger bubble marked by the Tridion safety cell, and short overhangs. The styling of the safety cell is a bit sportier and set farther back, allowing for larger doors through which occupants can more easily slide into the cabin. The nose is more pug-like and the grille and headlights are larger, but the entire face is still undeniably Smart.
The reworked safety cell makes the new Fortwo Cabrio the most rigid ever, with torsional strength improved by about 15%, with additional supports under the car, in the bulkheads at the front and rear, and in the A pillars.
Power is supplied a rear-mounted 898cc 89-hp three-cylinder engine, and delivered to the rear wheels by either a five-speed manual or dual-clutch automatic.

Q: How can I copy multiple files inside a bash script I want to know how can I copy or shell copy multiple files within a bash script. What I mean is that
cp /path/to/source/{file1,file2,file3} /path/to/dest

and
scp /path/to/source/{file1,file2,file3} user@host:/path/to/dest

will work fine but as example
#!/bin/sh
scp /path/to/source/{file1,file2,file3} user@host:/path/to/dest

will throw an error like this:
/path/to/source/{file1,file2,file3}: No such file or directory

If you will copy or shell copy a single file it works, so the problem are multiple files. Also it works if I would use * for all files but I do not want to copy all files. I should only copy selected files because in both folders are files with the same name but their content is different. Thereby to copy all files and then remove the not needed files would not work.
For better understanding following would work:
#!/bin/sh
scp /path/to/source/file1 user@host:/path/to/dest

Also following:
#!/bin/sh
scp /path/to/source/* user@host:/path/to/dest

So it has something to do with the correct use of { ... } for multiple files which will work inside the terminal but not if I run the bash script in it.
Thanks in advance.
//Edit:
I add the error if I try it with cp:
cp: cannot stat '/path/to/source/{file1,file2,file3}': No such file or directory

A: You have #!/bin/sh in your script which means it will be run by sh, not bash. On many Debian-derived systems, Ubuntu for example, /bin/sh is a symlink to the basic POSIX shell dash. The brace expansion you are using is not supported by dash:
$ dash
$ echo {foo,bar}
{foo,bar}

This means that the command cp /path/to/source/{file1,file2,file3} /path/to/dest is looking for a file called {file1,file2,file3}. The simple solution is to use bash instead. Just change your shebang line from #!/bin/sh to #!/bin/bash and you should be fine.


We managed to cobble together a reading group here on this blog. Without thinking about it, without asking permission or anything, I created the UbD Educators wiki. I was so taken with the ideas in Understanding by Design, and the only thing I could think about doing was the work. And the best way I could think of to do the work was to share and collaborate. In hindsight, Grant and Jay McTighe could probably have sued me, but they were also much more interested in spreading the work, so instead, Grant commented on my blog.
Great blog! And I really appreciate the time and thought that is going into your reading. Yes, ubd is not for those looking for a quick fix. Nor is it great to be lonely – I hated that as a teacher myself. But there is actually a lot you can do on your own to sustain the work. The [key] is to take small steps – try out a few ideas here and there; work on 1 unit a semester – especially a unit that now is so boring it bores you to teach it. Learn the various 'moves' but only use the ones that appeal. And, finally, avail yourselves of the various forums and resources we and others have put together to support the work. Go to bigideas.org for starters. Check out the ubdexchange. Go to the virtual symposium on ubd and differentiated instruction run through ascd. And write the poor authors, who rarely get this kind of lovely feedback!
Because I want to be supportive of this, I am going to give all those who use this wiki access to our still-not-public course on ubd. Go to http://www.authenticeducation.org/courses . The enrollment key is Hopewell. I would love you to use it and give feedback – there is also a book study guide. I'll also build in a link to this wiki.
Last year, when we finally met in person, I was able to thank him for not suing me. He laughed. But the truth is, Grant cared deeply about design and making learning experiences better for students and teachers. He changed everything about the way I teach. He was such a supportive coach and mentor.
I was thrilled when he asked me to be one of his education bloggers on the Faculty Room (it's defunct, and as far as I know, no longer exists anywhere). Some of you might have some vague memories of that blog.
He met a lot of people, and in the last couple of years in particular, he was becoming more and more active online both on Twitter and his blog. I didn't always agree with Grant, but he was hugely influential in my thinking and teaching, and I have to admit that most of the time, I thought he was right.
A lot of times, he passed over educational posts completely, but I did get to know the Grant Wiggins who was a lifelong learner and musician and loved his family deeply through Facebook. Seems really odd that Facebook helps us forge those connections. That was just a few days ago. I am in shock. I can't believe Grant passed away so suddenly and so soon. My condolences go out to his family and friends. I will miss his contributions to education. We owe him so much. But even more than that, I think I'll miss his funny little comments in reply to the oddest things.
The last exchange we had on Twitter was just about week ago.
Grant knew there was still work to do, and the best way we can honor Grant is to carry on with the work.
Rest in peace, Grant, and thank you for everything.

Home Editorial Defence best form of attack
Matthew Bennett

Historically, Real Madrid is a club best known for its goal and attacking flair than for its stubborn defence.
Cristiano Ronaldo, Gareth Bale, Raùl, Ruud van Nistelrooy, Alfredo Di Stéfano and more. All famous names linked with a club and all attackers and goalscorers.
Now it's the turn of the defence to take the plaudits after Madrid's 0-3 win at Getafe saw them finish the first half of the season having conceded just 12 goals in LaLiga – their tightest defence in 32 years.
While goals have not exactly been free-flowing so far this term that hasn't mattered, with a strong defence leading Los Blancos to the top of the table.
In contrast, at this point in the season a year ago, Madrid had conceded 24 goals – twice as many as this season.
Much of that has been down to a vast improvement in the form of Thibaut Courtois, arguably Madrid's man-of-the-match in Saturday victory. The departure of Keylor Navas has calmed the goalkeeper situation and Courtois has flourished.
Plenty of praise also has to fall at the feet of Casemiro and Fede Valverde, the two rocks in Madrid's midfield. Casemiro has been enjoying arguably his best season to date while Valverde has come on to the scene and made himself a first-choice starter under Zinedine Zidane.
Madrid will now hope to use that fine form to bring home a first trophy of the season next week when they travel to Saudi Arabia for the Spanish Super Cup.

One of the most subversive, dangerous, thankless, and necessary tasks is to state the obvious. Our mental filing systems tend to push things labeled as "obvious" into the back of our minds, leaving room in the front for more important and pressing matters. But things tend to get misplaced in that dark attic of our memories, and before we know it, "the obvious" has disappeared into that mysterious void along with our high school French classes and the combination to the safe. Then when it comes time to access that information again and our brain tells us "file not found," we retreat behind the rampart of "that's obvious, everyone knows that" and hide our forgetfulness. But no one likes to be reminded that they have forgotten something they ought to know, so the job becomes thankless.
The chore is also subversive because it works against the interests of those who would use our forgetfulness against us. Often a cause begins with purpose and energy, but in the course of events the purpose is lost, or twisted, or hijacked, and the energy is harnessed for a new end. A vague gesture is made toward the original impetus behind the cause—just specific enough to maintain momentum, but ambiguous enough to hide the fact that a bait and switch has taken place. Examples abound, from politicians who appeal to "American ideals" not found in the Declaration of Independence nor the Constitution, to Catholics who advocate for spurious ideas but attempt to legitimize them under the authority of the "spirit of Vatican II." (It is a nearly iron-clad law that any idea proposed under the aegis of the "spirit of Vatican II" will either be absent from or directly contradicted by the actual documents of Vatican II.) Thus nothing is more revolutionary than proclaiming aloud against established interests what any person could read in a book should they choose to go looking for it.
The task of any Old Testament prophet could well be summed up by the phrase "stating the obvious." The kings and people of Israel had been given the Law of Moses and knew full well what their obligations were, yet, as we all do, they routinely fell short of them, and even worked against them. The prophets were called upon by God to state the obvious to Israel, and they were usually thanked for their efforts by being murdered. Few occupations are as dangerous as the prophetic, precisely because they tell people what they already know but don't want to hear.
A small mistake at the beginning will lead to a large problem farther on, as Aristotle noted. A deviation of one degree at the start will create an obtuse angle after a while, leading us in the opposite direction of where we ought to be going. Course corrections can still be made, but it sometimes requires stopping our momentum, turning around, and back tracking. Stubborn creatures that we are, most of us would rather keep going in the wrong direction than have to tear up all of our work and start over—which is not a bad definition of the modern notion of "progress." To state the obvious, to state the principle that set us on our way in the first place, is necessary if we are to turn away from the shiny objects that distract us and reach our intended destination.
With this all having been said, it can be hoped that the following words will not be summarily dismissed as "obvious," but can serve as a reminder of what we are about in the midst of all of our battles—in other words, what we are fighting for.
God created human beings to enter into loving communion with him, to be incorporated into Christ and transformed by the grace merited by his passion, death, and resurrection into adopted sons and daughters of God, that we might become "partakers of the divine nature" (2 Peter 1:4) by the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. That is our end, our purpose, our reason for being.
To aid us in reaching that end, Christ gave us the Church, founded on the pillars of the apostles, who charged their successors the bishops to carry on the task appointed to them by Christ: to teach, govern, and sanctify his people—to lead them into the truth and protect them from error, to order the affairs of the community, and to dispense the sacraments, the means of grace—the gift of God's own life.
We need this because we are fallen creatures, with a tendency to sin, to put ourselves before God, our own desires before God's desires for us, our own thoughts before God's thoughts. Our wills, intellects, and passions are disordered, and need the help of God's grace to be brought back into harmony. Ideally, we would know the truth of things, desire the good, and choose the means to achieve it, thus living out God's love. This is the task of our everyday lives.
This is the outline of our situation—all points that are or should be "obvious" to us. These are the stakes over which we fight our internecine quarrels. We battle over doctrinal formulations because words matter: they shape our thoughts which guide our actions. The truth sets us free, and error enslaves us to a false view of the world. We battle over Church discipline because the rules we set for ourselves are a reflection of what we understand to be true about reality and good for human beings, so that some disciplinary changes could in fact be reflective of a false view of the world, and thus would not be in accord with the love of God. We battle over the celebration and reception of the sacraments because they are our sources of divine life, the medicine that heals our souls. And like any medicine, if taken incorrectly, they can actually do us harm—if taken while not in the state of grace, if celebrated in inappropriate ways that drive people away from the Church rather than drawing them to it, and so on.
Let this serve as a reminder to all. To those who roll their eyes at the "liturgy wars," or eschew doctrinal discussions as needless hair-splitting, or are all too willing to throw virtuous babies out with disciplinary bathwater, remember the stakes involved: nothing less than the salvation of souls. Watering down the truth and relaxing certain disciplines will have the same effect on our spiritual health that a crash diet and no exercise will on our physical health: it will leave us malnourished and atrophied. Likewise, let those whose fight for truth and virtue remember that pride is at the root of all sin and a danger to us all, and that they must take care not to put their own self-satisfaction in their position overwhelm their regard for their neighbor's well-being and salvation, that truth expressed without charity will bear no fruit in another's life, that rituals and disciplines practiced without form or devotion really can become vain repetitions—in short, that while "Pharisee" can be a lazy charge, it can also be an accurate one.
This may seem obvious, but someone has to say it.

2004:0636 - COLUMBA'S COLLEGE, TAYLOR'S GRANGE, RATHFARNHAM, Dublin
County: Dublin Site name: COLUMBA'S COLLEGE, TAYLOR'S GRANGE, RATHFARNHAM
Author: Claire Walsh, 27 Coulson Avenue, Rathgar, Dublin 6.
Site type: Charcoal-filled cuts
The site forms part of the lands of St Columba's College and when the work was monitored is under forestry planted in 1997. There are three monuments in the immediate vicinity of the site, including St Sabh's well, which is on the site (SMR 22-32). The area is rich in sites of archaeological significance and many new sites were uncovered in the immediate locality in the course of recent construction work.
Test excavation was undertaken on 8 March 2004. Five trenches were opened by mechanical excavator (wheeled Atlas) fitted with a grading bucket. Four of the trenches extended east-west to the south of the tennis court, while the fifth extended north-south along the east side of the tennis court. No trench was cut through the tennis court and no work was carried out in the vicinity of St Sabh's well. There are no plans to landscape the area around the well, so the shrubbery here will be left intact.
The results of the excavation are largely negative, except for several shallow charcoal-filled cuts in Trench 1. There is minimal soil cover over much of the north end of the site. However, there is no subsoil disturbance from the seven-year-old forestry. These roots are very shallow.
Excavation of these features and any others which may be revealed on the site is a condition of the grant of permission.


SECollective @ The Amersham Arms (In association with London Jazz Festival) presents a 3-night, 8-band, 2 DJ + Jam Session special!
Each night is still only £5 and includes entry to all the live music, late night DJs and jam session!
MAP are a SE Collective band and have recently released their debut self titled album. They are joined tonight by trumpeter Rory Simmons who as well as being part of the SE Collective, is a founder member of the Loop Collective.
Combining elements of the 'New York downtown' and 'European free improv' scenes, MAP blur the lines between composition and improvisation.
Redshift are a new collaborative venture coming out of the SE Collective. Expect playful grooves & interaction, experimenting with role-playing, compositions from all three members.
This quartet's sound has been described as 'thoughtful and evocative'. Melodic themes are juxtaposed with elements of free improvisation revealing the sonic possibilities of the Organ and its role in the contemporary quartet setting. Performing compositions from all of it's members, with an emphasis on new material for this evening's gig.
Acrobat is a London-based Jazz organ trio, founded in 2008 by its three members. The warmth and presence of the classic organ/guitar groups are heard alongside new textures and stylish improvising. Compelling grooves and melodic clarity invite the listener inside one of the most exciting sounds in Jazz today.
Collective effort is the key in Acrobat. All members contribute compositions, before spending time arranging and work-shopping the material together to create a sound that is original to Acrobat. This subtle, supportive interaction allows the music to grow from sparse colours and intimate dialgoues to rugged sounds with electrifying solos: an evolving and involving experience.
Described by The Guardian as a '21st century Thelonious Monk', pianist Arthur Lea leads a trio playing a collection of quirky London riffs, elegant Danish ballads and burning northern bop.
Originals also hailing from 'absorbing and inventive' bassist Henrik Jensen (thejazzmann.com), the trio includes Jazzwise magazine's 'drummer for the future' Pete Ibbetson, and features special guest saxophonist Pete Wareham of Acoustic Ladyland.
This new SE Collective trio was formed as a natural extension/synthesis of three projects, a duo between Nathoo and Hewson, a duo between Ibbetson and Nathoo, and a trio involving Hewson and Ibbetson. New material has been written by all three musicians drawing influence from artists such as John Taylor, Paul Motion, Tom Rainey and Tim Berne.
Monocled Man-Fronted by trumpeter Rory Simmons, (Jamie Cullum, Friendly Fires), Monocled Man also feature Troyka's Chris Montague and Jon Scott of Kairos 4Tet.
This group take the classic 60s organ quartet, a line-up steeped in tradition, into new territory where the compositions from leader Jon Shenoy (Ivo Neame Large Ensemble) mix contrapuntal bass lines and rhythmic hooks with thoughtful lyricism.
Mixing stark ethereal voices with gritty Hammond boogaloo, organist Will Bartlett (veteran NYJO pianist) draws on a wide palette of sounds that build the foundation for an infectious mix of groove-based original compositions, enchanting ballads and unique arrangements of avant-pop songs.


One of the popular tourist spots in Shillong, Umiam Lake is a vast and scenic reservoir that attracts a large number of tourists from across the country. Also known as "Bara Pani" or the Big Water, The Lake is a part of a dam, constructed as a first Hydel Power Project in this North-East Indian State. The cumulative catchment area including both the Dam and the lake is over 220 sq.km.
Intended initially as a reservoir for a Dam, the Lake quickly became one of the most popular tourists' spots in Shillong, becoming a prominent venue for kayaking, water cycling, boating and scooting. Tourists can also enjoy riding row boats, paddle boats, sailing boats, cruise boats and speed boats as well.
Due to its picturesque, panoramic setting, surrounded by the lush and lofty East Khasi Hills, Umiam Lake is often compared with the beautiful and mesmerizing Lakes of Scotland. The lake also features a beautiful garden named Lum Nehru Park, near its shores that add to its charms. Moreover, there are small islands that rise from the water that look exceedingly beautiful and when glimpsed from UCC (Union Christian College Peak), the lake emerge in all its beauty and splendor.
The lake opens daily for various water sport activities between 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. However, its panoramic sights can be enjoyed anytime.
Umaim Lake is surrounded by numerous scenic sights, enveloped by lush, green hills, making it an ideal spot for photography enthusiasts. Visitors and Tourists can take captivating photographs while enjoying boating and reveling in other water sporting activities.
There are a number of thrilling and fun activities for kids to enjoy at Umaim Lake. Besides boating, there are other water sporting fun action that children can indulge in, in the guidance of their guardians.


While the air cargo business constantly advertises itself as one of the most innovative industries and the one most prone to change, most of the occurrent change is of a less dramatic nature—unless, of course, we talk about cargo security, which is a horse of a different color.But right now a door has opened, and some "All-in-Rates" devotees are pushing AIR into what they hope could be a step-change for the air cargo business.
On February 1, Emirates Airlines (EK) introduced AIR across its routes to and from Europe; the rest of EK's network will follow on March 1. Since EK is, according to the IATA WATS, the number one cargo carrier in FTKs carried, the move has been widely reported and discussion and interest continue.
Qatar Airways (QR) said that its cargo offering would take a "phased approach from April 1, 2015, onwards," moving into AIR and abandoning security (MOC) and fuel (MYC) surcharges while keeping others, where applicable.
Forwarders and shippers alike have welcomed the move to AIR. Mr. Joost van Doesburg, representing the European Shippers' Council (ESC) said, "Shippers appreciate is being able to plan ahead and forecast what they are likely to pay for air transport.
"The all-in system will make that possible," he added.
That, however, may bespeak Mr. Van Doesburg's lack of understanding about the mechanics at work in the background of the industry.
The sharp decline in fuel prices in the 2nd half of 2014 was unexpected and unforeseen, so most airlines are locked in fuel hedging contracts that actually work to their disadvantage this time.
Why AIR, however, should add transparency to a price will probably remain Mr. Van Doesburg's secret.
While FIATA welcomed EK and QR's move to AIR, they also pointed out that "the simplification of rate structures will be of significant benefit to forwarders and shippers alike," sentiments which were echoed by the British BIFA, the Canadian CIFFA, and the French CLECAT, among others.
While talk is cheap, appreciation for the move made by EK, QR and now IAG on the side of leading forwarders such as Panalpina, DB Schenker, Yusen, and Dachser may be what really counts in the long run.
If shippers and forwarders want AIR, there will not only be a shift towards the carriers who offer it, but also an opportunity for these carriers to charge a fixed all-in premium rate, since it makes a lot more sense to factor a reasonable yield into an all-in rate than to cross-subsidize poor yields with surcharges, something the forwarders continuously accused the carriers of practicing.
As Cuthbert J. Twille, W.C. Fields was 'All–In,' playing a card shark in the 1933 film My Little Chickadee.
Whether air cargo will brand a new 'All-In–Rates initiative in 2015, or—as was the practice before the Iraq War—just go back to calling packaged charges "All Inclusive Rates" is still up in the AIR.
War Risk Surcharges, Security Surcharges, and, most importantly, Fuel Surcharges were introduced and gradually raised to levels that sometimes amounted to more than the actual cargo rate.
Both forwarders and shippers upped their mistrust when it was revealed that a number of leading carriers had been involved in illegal surcharge fixing.
Right now major Asian carriers such as Korean Air (KE), Cathay Pacific (CX), and China Eastern (MU), and majors in Europe decline to comment, but indicate that they 'closely follow the developments and will continue to meet their customers' requirements and expectations,' and there are some others in this air cargo business of ours that have some definite observations looking into AIR.
"When I was at AA, we did research on the passenger side on rates and found out the public viewed airlines lower than used car dealers. "Since then, the airlines have done a lot to help improve this image by on-line rate engines, special ratings, airline travel points on tickets, credit cards, etc., etc.
"But in the end, the Revenue Management Systems (RMS) still control the situation. Air Cargo Airlines mostly do not have RMS.
"The traveling public as well as air cargo customers want the lowest possible rate they can get with reliable service and will shop around to find it.
"If airlines try to signal to other airlines, it is against the law in most countries and Europe and the U.S. has made that very clear.
"For years all of the airline industry has been trying to find ways to get the shipping and traveling public to look at costs versus reliability and quality.
"Passenger carriers have done their First Class, Executive Class, Business Class, Platinum Class, Goals Class, Special Legroom, and what have you.
"Cargo carriers have tried to brings cost, reliability, and quality into focus, but the only real success in this effort was gained by integrators like FedEx, UPS, etc.
"When I was at Pan Am the travel agents attacked us every time we tried to improve the passenger rates.
"When we put in automatic ticking machines at the airports the travel agents threatened to embargo us.
"The airlines stood their ground with the public interface IT solutions and in the end, dealing directly with the public worked and took control back from the travel agents.
"Travel agents now are niche players and they no longer get the best rates and commission and therefore cannot play the rate game.
"When I started in the cargo business, Specific Commodity Rates (SCR) were the rates used.
"The forwarders were the airlines' agents to help the airlines reduce their costs through consolidations and were given better rates for doing that.
"Then the forwarders got IATA to approve commissions for consolidations.
"The forwarders started to control more and more revenue and became the customer. They demanded lower bulk rates, special contract rates, part charter rates, and what have you.
"The airlines tried to deal directly with the shippers but the forwarders threatened to embargo them, just like the travel agents did years before.
"But unlike the passenger industry, the cargo side mostly backed down (although there were some exceptions) and the forwarders today still control the majority of the air cargo revenue.
"At the end of the day, what matters is that we are responsive to our customers' needs and provide them a market competitive structure.
"We are in a partnership with our customers and it is vital that we offer the products and services they need to support their customers.
"At Delta, we are fortunate to have an incredible sales team who has excellent relationships with our customers.


Most of these seem like common sense and self explanatory, however I still see all 10 of these things being done on a regular basis.
1. Don't ride when the trails are too wet. It often creates a moonscape surface that causes controversy with other trail users. This could eventually lead to trails closing to us and/or new trails being developed without allowing us access.
2. Don't ride trails not open to horses. For the same reasons as listed above.
3. Don't litter on the trail or at the trailhead. Pack out what you take in.
4. Don't ride around a small muddy area. That will cause it to get bigger. Train your horse to go through it.
5. Don't tie your horse directly to a tree, especially for long periods of time, like during a lunch stop. Impatient stomping and pawing the ground can damage the roots. Root damage can kill the tree which later may mean a tree fallen across the trail to deal with. Bored horses may also chew the bark.
6. Don't tie your horse too close to the trail making it hard for another trail user to safely pass by. Besides causing ill-will, this could also open you up to liability.
7. Don't remove or move trail signs.
8. Don't ride without a tail ribbon if your horse is a kicker (Red), a young or inexperienced horse (Green), a stallion (Blue or Yellow), or a mare in season (Pink).
9. Don't tailgate the horse in front of you. Especially if you don't know the horse. It might not be a known kicker, but most horses aren't fond of horses they don't know riding that close and can start acting up out of irritation.
10. Don't forget to smile, say hi, and be courteous to other trail users.


Hard to believe you got worse. Poor Blame. He's such a nice horse.
He's running in a very competitive allowance race on Friday at Keeneland. 8th race.
Why all the hype on Hidden Scroll anyway? His dam wasn't much. His siblings weren't much. It's amazing that his jocks and post positions were ever a point of contention for a horse with one maiden win. Wow.
I'm glad that he'll sit out the Derby and be brought along more slowly, but he kind of went from one end of the trip extreme to the other, and I really hope his past two races don't have any long-term mental effects.
I thought he was hurt in the Derby since he never started again.
I meant what price he was....almost 14:1 despite a lot of people thinking he would be second choice ( which he probably was on the ML ).
Anyone else a fan of this horse? I love that he is so formidable on both turf and dirt.


The first Borders Railway site office is to be closed, marking the countdown towards the project's completion.
The Fountainhall site office opened to help service the construction of the Borders Railway and is now being dismantled.
Over the last two years, the site office, located near Catcune farm, has acted as a central hub for over 70 members of the project team who were charged with delivering the longest section of the new line between South of Gorebridge and South of Stow.
The site provided a base for Network Rail and BAM (the main Borders Railway contractor), as well as administration and finance teams, project directors, design coordinators, environmental experts and communications staff.
The project's other site offices at Newtongrange and Galashiels will remain operational until later this year.

As we recently discussed on our Boston Car Accident Lawyer Blog, road rage and aggressive driving puts drivers at increased risk for traffic accidents.
Roughly 90 percent of drivers say that they've either witnessed an act of road rage or they've been the victim in one of these incidents. Massachusetts is certainly not immune. After all, Boston drivers are legendary.
According to the Boston Globe, a 27-year-old driver from Weymouth was threatened with a knife by another driver. Police say that the man was heading down Peal Street when he let a motorist get in front of him. That's when a second driver pulled up next to him and started yelling. Reports indicate that the men exchanged a few choice words before the enraged driver reportedly wielded a knife and pointed it at the other driver. The victim in the incident drove toward the MBTA station for safety. Unfortunately, officers were not able to track down the enraged driver, but they are still investigating.
Our Braintree personal injury attorneys understand how frustrating our state's roadways can be. They're awfully congested at times and are only going to get worse with the upcoming travel season. Drivers are asked to remain calm and to take the necessary safety precautions to help to eliminate the risks of any kind of road rage incident.
According to RoadRagers.com, road rage, which is also known as road violence, occurs when drivers partake in deliberately dangerous and/or violent behavior after getting emotional, angry or frustrated behind the wheel. It's when these emotions get out of hand that bad things happen and drivers make irrational judgments.
-Hitting another traveler, object or vehicle with your vehicle.
-Firing a weapon from your car.
-Hitting another person who may not be in their vehicle.
-Physically harming any other traveler.
-Getting out of your car and approaching another traveler in a hostile manner.
-Yelling insults at another person.
There are simple ways that you can avoid road rage. If you run across an enraged driver, you want to steer clear of them. Never antagonize a driver. Avoid making eye contact and don't return their gestures. You want to drive to a safe place if you feel threatened and contact authorities.
You want to make sure that you have plenty of time to get to your destination. Rushing increases irritability and the risks for rage behind the wheel. Avoid traveling during congested rush hours and stay away from busy roads.
It's important to remain calm behind the wheel. We've all got to get through the same traffic on the same roadways. Let's all work together to help to keep everyone safe!

For canoe manufacturers, off season means R & D season. It's when we hunker down and focus on ways we can improve our products and our customers experiences with them. Here are a couple new options we're offering in 2019, to make those experiences great.
We've been working hard this off season on improving the weights of our lightest canoe materials – Aramid Lite and Blue Steel – to make them even lighter for our customers out on the portage trail.
In 2019 we are introducing a gunwale system which will become the new standard on Aramid Lite and Blue Steel hulls. The new gunwales are made from the same durable and low maintenance anodized aluminum as our classic aluminum gunwales, but are slimmer in profile, shaving between 2 and 4lbs off each canoe. Because of the narrower profile on our new gunwales, the seats, yokes, thwarts and handles in Aramid Lite and Blue Steel canoes will be hung from the gunwales on metal brackets rather than wooden spacers (see photo above). If you prefer the traditional look and feel of wooden gunwales, you can always upgrade to our beautiful straight-grained white ash gunwales.
By popular demand, we're re-introducing blue into our menu of colour options in 2019. This isn't the first time Nova Craft Canoes have been available in blue – you may recall the powdery baby blue that was popular in the 1980's or the Royalex royal blue – but our new blue is a little different, and closer to cobalt in hue. Check it out and let us know what you think!
