Democrats throughout the country have talked about a "blue wave" coming this November, and that wave might be hitting Collier County.
Democrats throughout the country have talked about a "blue wave" coming in November as they seek to take control of Congress, and that wave might hit Collier County.
The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee last week added Mary Barzee Flores to its "Red to Blue" program. Barzee Flores is challenging Rep. Mario Diaz-Balart, R-Miami, in Florida's 25th congressional district, which includes Golden Gate Estates and other parts of Collier County.
The "Red to Blue" program focuses on candidates who "surpass aggressive goals for grass-roots engagement, local support, campaign organization and fundraising," and have a good shot at unseating their Republican opponents.
Committee Chairman Ben Ray Luján said Barzee Flores exemplifies the Democratic Party's ideals and that she'll do an excellent job representing her constituents in Congress.
"She is running a strong campaign and finally providing the community she is running to represent the chance to vote for a new approach, not more of the same Republican agenda that hurts hardworking Floridians," Luján stated in a news release.
Barzee Flores, a former Miami-Dade County Circuit Court judge, is the sixth Florida Democrat to be added to the "Red to Blue" program, joining Nancy Soderberg, Kristen Carlson, David Shapiro, Lauren Baer and Debbie Mucarsel-Powell.
Sam Miller, Barzee Flores' campaign manager, said the committee's support sends a powerful message about the competitiveness of the race.
Diaz-Balart was first elected in 2002, which was also the last time there was a Democratic primary for a congressional seat representing Collier County. That was the year Annie Betancourt defeated Lorna Virgili for the Democratic nomination and then lost to Diaz-Balart by almost 30 percentage points.
Diaz-Balart won re-election every two years since then, including by 24 percentage points in 2016 against nominal opposition.
Barzee Flores moved her candidacy from Florida's U.S. House District 27, represented by retiring Republican Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, to District 25 on May 2. The switch guaranteed that all three Republican-held congressional seats in Miami-Dade County, the state's most populous county, had stronger Democratic opposition.
Collier County GOP Chairman Ron Kezeske said he knew District 25 would be a contentious race since most of the district's population lives on the east coast, which is more liberal than other parts of the state.
"It doesn't surprise me that Ms. Barzee Flores was added to the DCCC Red to Blue program. District 25 is one we knew would be at risk of being targeted by the Democrats," Kezeske said. "But Congressman Diaz-Balart has done a exemplary job in Congress, and his record will assist in his re-election bid. It will be our job to get the vote out on the west part of the district, to help offset the votes from the eastern part of the district."
The Diaz-Balart campaign said in an email Friday the congressman's record speaks for itself, and his current focus is on the issues, not his challenger.
"In southern Florida, the concern is not the political waves orchestrated and financed in Washington, D.C., it's about finding solutions to issues like red tide and algae bloom, and that's Mario's focus," the campaign statement said.
Yudy Barbera, chairwoman of the Collier County Democratic Party, said she thinks Barzee Flores will give Diaz-Balart a run for his money.
"We're very proud to have Barzee Flores run," Barbera said. "She's a judge, she's a person that's well-known, and we feel that she is a candidate who could beat Mario Diaz-Balart."
She also expressed optimism about a countywide, and countrywide, blue wave.
"People are afraid. They get up every day and are bombarded by negative news," Barbera said. "We as Democrats want to bring back a positive attitude to this country because we desperately need that."

Claire Danes goes out for jog around Hudson River Park after co-star reveals Romeo + Juliet secrets
Claire Danes shows off her fit form on a morning jog around Hudson River Park in NYC… after revelations about co-star Leonardo DiCaprio come to light
By Mark Mcgreal For Dailymail.Com
Published: 16:34 EDT, 23 September 2021 | Updated: 01:17 EDT, 24 September 2021
Claire Danes went out for an early morning jog around Hudson River Park in Manhattan on Thursday.
The actress, 42, wore charcoal leggings, a light gray tank top and a matching headband in her short, blonde hair.
She also wore a fanny pack to carry her things, and black and white Nike sneakers.

The Homeland actress put in headphones while she worked up a sweat.
Danes may be running in already to maintain her slim physique for public appearances such as the one she made with husband Hugh Dancy at this year's Met Gala.
The pair looked fashionable at the event with Dancy in a sharp tuxedo and his wife in a beautiful all-white dress with a large bow that flowed into her train.
The couple married in 2009. They have two children together – 8-year-old Cyrus and 3-year-old Rowan.

While the two are happily married now, the actress had other crushes including one which one of her former co-stars dished on in her recently released memoir.
Legendary British actress Miriam Margolyes, who starred as the Nurse alongside Claire Danes' Juliet in the 1996 film Romeo + Juliet, recently opened up about her time working with the star and her Romeo, Leonardo DiCaprio.
The 80-year-old said she never 'had such fun' as going shopping with DiCaprio though she wasn't as happy with the way he treated his character's romantic interest when the cameras weren't rolling.
'It was obvious to all of us that she really was in love with her Romeo, but Leonardo wasn't in love with her,' the actress wrote in her book. 'She wasn't his type at all.'
Tell-all memoir: Miriam Margolyes opened up about Danes and DiCaprio's offscreen relationship during the shooting of Romeo + Juliet in her new memoir
Not always nice: The actor was allegedly dismissive of the actress' feelings for him during the filming of Romeo + Juliet
Apparently the Academy Award winner didn't know how to handle his co-star's intense affection, and it led to him being dismissive to his Juliet.
'He wasn't sensitive to her feelings, was dismissive of her and could be quite nasty in his keenness to get away, while Claire was utterly sincere and so open.'
For her part, Danes addressed her crush in a 2018 interview with W magazine.
'Yes. That was problematic. I couldn't really have a crush on the guy I was professionally having a crush on!' the Me and Orson Welles star said.

Silent Light (Stellet Licht)
By Peter Brunette2007-05-22T18:59:00+01:00
Dir: Carlos Reygadas. Mex-Fr-Neth. 2007. 142 mins.
Mexican auteurist Carlos Reygadas has lost nothing of the aesthetic austerity so magnificently, if exhaustingly, on display in his first two films, Japon (2002) and Battle In Heaven (2005).
Both of those films proved exceptionally demanding on audiences, both narratively and psychologically, but for some, at least, the work they had to put in was worth the emotional and thematic payoffs. Unfortunately, while the demands are perhaps even greater, the payoffs are fewer and further between in Stellet Licht, Reygadas's latest film.
Only by reading a press kit before attending a screening would a viewer understand 1) where in the world the film was taking place and 2) why the characters in it seem to be speaking some form of German, which turns out to be Plattdeutsch, a dialect of standard German.
The second self-indulgence is the film's length (nearly two and a half hours) which is, finally, a long time to sit through a film that is composed nearly completely of static still shots in which, classically, nothing happens.
The story is ultra-minimalist, and that, in fact, is one of the most striking aspects of the film. Members of a moderate Mennonite sect - they believe in cars but not in phones - that settled in northern Mexico in the early 1920's (all this is from the press kit), Johan (Fehr) is married to Esther (Toews) and they have a gaggle of happy kids.
Alas, Johan has unwisely fallen in love with Marianne (Pankratz), and the remainder of the film consists in the extremely deliberate working out of the consequences of this situation. This working out attains a simplicity of Biblical proportions, as Reygadas avoids tainting his story with any frivolous sub-plots or other attention-stealers, such as action of any sort. It is the pure situation of adultery, presented without frills or extra embroidery.
The visual context of this simple story is the vibrant, gloriously beautiful world of nature, and viewers will be forgiven if they think they have stumbled into a film by Terence Malick. This is by far the best thing about Stellet Licht, and Reygadas's decision to open with a long, long take of night moving toward day and to end with an equally long, long take going in the other direction is sheer visual and aural poetry.
Other long-lingering shots of natural and man-made objects, whose very factitiousness seems invested with a frustratingly vague metaphysical weight and meaning, come close to redeeming the film. But all those other shots of cows being milked by machines, long drives on straight roads and the like, will surely try the patience of many viewers who will perhaps already be angry because they have no idea where the movie is set and who the characters are.
Reygadas's formal control is absolute, and you sense that every blade of grass present in any given shot is there only because the director decided it should be. One shot he holds completely out of focus for an unconscionable length of time, kind of showing off, until the camera ends up settling on a single flower in focus. He favours centred shots whose composition is painstakingly achieved. Occasional extremely slow tracking-in shots replace the general practice of the stationary camera.
It must also be said that the deliberateness of Reygadas' earlier films was redeemed by powerful emotional moments, especially in BattleIn Heaven, that quickened the blood and stirred the heart and soul. Alas, that is never the case in the new film, and one must finally ask toward what end is so much rigorous aesthetic discipline aimed.
The only bit of philosophy or other thematic material comes in two brief meetings of Johan and his father, who is also a man of the cloth who was once tempted himself. Johan thinks everything that happens is his fault, while his father insists that 'it was all written before anything began' and that it's really all a battle between God and the Devil.
There is also the moment when Marianne decides to break off the illicit relationship with Johan because 'peace is stronger than love'. She does add however that 'these were the saddest but happiest days of my life'. But that's about it. Rarely do thematic ideas rise effortlessly from the plethora of natural images, as they do in Malick's best work.

BDC Capital and ATB Financial contributing $1 billion to Alberta-based small businesses
BDC Capital and ATB Financial have negotiated a $1 billion agreement to support Alberta-based small businesses.
Each institution will contribute $500 million in new business loans under the program. As the Alberta economy struggles due to a decline in oil prices, ATB president and CEO Dave Mowat said that it's key for businesses to receive capital as the economy recovers.
"The most important time for businesses to be able to access capital is when an economy begins to rebound," said Dave Mowat, ATB's president and CEO. "That's when businesses can really start to grow and we want to help provide that opportunity. ATB is going to be there for entrepreneurs and continue growing our financial support of them in a big way. Our new partnership with BDC is another step and will enable us to do even more for the benefit of those businesses that are finding a path back to growth, and it will provide a boost to Alberta's entrepreneurs and our economy as a whole."
In the last two years, ATB has approved loans totalling over $6 billion to Alberta's small and mid-sized businesses. In May, ATB opened two Entrepreneur Centres to act as workspaces for business owners and also introduced a Free Banking for Startups package for any Alberta business that incorporates in 2016. For its part, BDC has a total commitment of $3.1 billion to Alberta-based businesses, and last November, made $500 million available in new loans and advisory services to help the province's businesses struggling with declining oil and gas prices.
The current federal government has expressed a commitment to diversifying Canada's economy, mostly known for its strong oil, gas, and manufacturing sectors. The government is looking to support more cleantech and tech companies, including $800 million over four years dedicated to supporting incubators and clusters and $130 million over five years to support cleantech research and development.
"Small businesses are truly the backbone of Alberta. This investment means more entrepreneurs and job creators will be able to access the capital they need to take their business to the next level," said Joe Ceci, Alberta president of the Treasury Board and Minister of Finance. "Diversifying our economy continues to be a top priority for our government and this type of investment ensures Alberta will become a more resilient place to do business."

Wavefront Wireless Summit: Way More than just Talk

Disney is also in final talks with actor Jet Li for the role of emperor of China.
Previously announced castmates include Donnie Yen from the "Ip Man" action movie series as Commander Tung, and Liu Yifei as Mulan, a young Chinese woman who pretends to be a male soldier to take her elderly father's place in the military. Yifei won the role after a year-long search for the next actress to play the role originally voiced by Ming-Na Wen.
New Zealand director Niki Caro (of "Whale Rider" fame) will direct the film which is set to premiere March 27, 2020.
It's a baby step move for a company that didn't have their first black princess until 2009. Less than a decade ago, diversity in Disney movies was much harder to find and even non-white characters were sometimes voiced by white actors.
The casting decision may look like a savvy business move, and it likely is. China is one of the top movie markets in the world and casting big stars from the country is a good way to get fans to support the movie.
As "Black Panther" and several movies before it have shown, representation matters. The effect of watching an Asian heroine fight battles and win can be an empowering experience for those who have never seen an American-made movie cast an Asian woman in the lead role.
This version may not replace people's fondness for the original, but the remake gives us Disney's first live-action movie with an all-Asian cast, and shows us that Disney is continuing to invest in diversity.

What Were Clinton and Trump Subconsciously Saying in the Presidential Debate?
by Dave Roos Sep 28, 2016

Some 81 million Americans tuned in to watch presidential candidates Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton confront each other on Monday night. Debates, of course, are all about words. But what unconscious messages could the candidates have sent by their use of very common, everyday words like "think" or "well"?
Simon DeDeo is an information scientist, external professor at the Santa Fe Institute and assistant professor at Carnegie Mellon University's Department of Social and Decision Science. He studies how people use words as signals for ideas, and he's been looking at signals in conjunction with the presidential debate.
The way he sees it, when Clinton and Trump took the debate stage, it was less of a clash of political rivals than an opportunity for each candidate to broadcast their encoded political signals to the American voter.
"Humans are signal-creating machines," he says. "And words function as political signals. Take phrases like 'Black Lives Matter' or 'law and order' or 'working families'. Those are words, but they've also become signals for all sorts of other things politically."
And what were Clinton and Trump's strongest signals? After the debate, DeDeo ran computer analyses on the specific words used by both candidates. He looked for the most common words, but also the most "telling." These are words that are common in everyday speech, but one candidate chooses to use a lot more of them than the other.
For Clinton, the data showed that one of her strongest signals was the word "think," particularly as part of the phrase "I think." For Trump, his standout signal was the word "look." Here are examples from the debate.
Clinton:
"I think about this a lot."
"I think that trade is an important issue."
"I think we come at it from somewhat different perspectives. I understand that."
"I think science is real."
"I think it's time that the wealthy and corporations paid their fair share to support this country."
"I think implicit bias is a problem for everyone, not just police."
"You look at what China is doing to our country in terms of making our product."
"When you look at what's happening in Mexico..."
"And all you have to do is look at Michigan and look at Ohio and look at all of these" places where so many of their jobs and their companies are just leaving, they're gone.
"Now, look, we have the worst revival of an economy since the Great Depression."
"Look, it's all words, it's all sound bites. I built an unbelievable company."
"Look, the African-American community has been let down by our politicians."
Whether the use of these words is conscious or unconscious, DeDeo believes they're definitely not random.
"I think these are constructed signals," says DeDeo. "When Hillary says 'I think,' she's using a gendered term. She's sending signals that fit a certain pattern about how a woman should behave in public life [i.e. less confrontational]. She's also presenting herself as someone who thinks, who has considered opinions and doesn't act without thinking."
When Trump says "look" over and over again, it's similarly loaded with meaning and political resonance, this time as the voice of the outsider.
"'Look' is an 'emperor's new clothes' kind of word," DeDeo says. "'Don't believe me, don't believe anybody, look for yourself.' Look is also contradictory. You and I would not use the word look in a normal conversation unless we're in strong disagreement."
But perhaps the most surprising thing about Monday's debate wasn't how different the two candidates' signals were, but how similar. In fact, when DeDeo ran the numbers, Monday's debate included more shared vocabulary than any presidential debate over the last 50 years with the single exception of the 2000 race between Al Gore and George W. Bush.
In this graphs, the Jenson-Shannon Distance represents how distinguishable each candidates words are from his or her debate opponent.
Simon DeDeo, Santa Fe Institute & Carnegie Mellon University
The obvious question is, how could two candidates, like Clinton and Trump, who are so wildly different in their platforms and their political styles be so similar in their word choices?
DeDeo has two working theories. One is that both Clinton and Trump were being overly cautious in the first debate. Clinton may have restricted her vocabulary to counter cries of elitism, and Trump could have altered his speech to appear more "presidential." The second theory is less comforting to a man who invests great importance in words as signals.
"Maybe it's that politics has gone post-verbal in this election," says DeDeo. "Maybe it no longer matters what they say, or that words aren't the strongest signals in the system. What matters more is their demeanor, their facial expressions. Unfortunately, I don't have scientific evidence to quantify the strength of an eyebrow raise."
DeDeo also found that Clinton used the word "we" 50 percent more often than Trump, while Trump used "they" 70 percent more than Clinton.

Alpha Gallery
Nicholas Panayi's exhibition, From the Darkness to the Light, opened on Tuesday at Alpha Gallery and continues until the 17th of the month.
On Tuesday March 13, of the month at 7.30 p.m. the artist will give a lecture on the subject "Expressionist Influences".
Artist and critic Jane Walker writes on Nicholas's art:
Nicholas Panayi is an artist of the human figure, encompassing all its physicality, humanity and spirituality.
The human being, no less.
It is a huge subject, which some might call the greatest of challenges. Who art we? Who am I? Why….?
A while ago I was sitting with him in Au Bon Plaisir talking about living the working life of an artist.
We agreed about some essential preconditions for making art which we called the "five Hs": honesty, hunger, humanity and – a slightly cheating one but you can't leave it out – hard work.
Not only does Panayi aspire to all these conditions but he meets them with continual reassessment and redefinition.
Honesty means never making a mark that could have arisen out of automatic gesture rather than intention. Humility is the only approach that suppresses the ego and connects the artist to the universal. Hunger is not of the body but that appetite of the spirit for artistic expression which must be satisfied. Humanity is the connection with our fellow man which moves us through compassion to expression. Finally, hard work, which is a commitment not just of one's time but every atom of energy one can summon.
That energy is there in the powerful sense of future and onward momentum in Panayi's work. His ideas develop so fast that it seems he is always on the threshold of new discovery.
In recent years, we have seen his work move through many modulations encompassing the use of light in various ways, live music and video projection – all ventures into media that add depth to pre-existing visions and not at all a kind of experimentation for its own sake or a slavish following of artistic fashion.
Although there is a steady evolution, looking back over his whole output, it becomes clear that the work always has a consistency, belonging within tradition but with a handwriting so strong and sui generis that one could virtually never mistake one of his paintings for that of another artist.
"Of a recent exhibition he said: "Try and see it as a whole and see what it does to you. That's what I advise."
"I could second that advice. I remember at the opening of the Generations exhibition in 2004, standing in a space filled with work, feeling that combined energy and passion of all those rhythmically linear figures and almost hearing the paintings crying out the same message to the world: hope – another word beginning with H that is rather more specific to Panayi.
The viewer sees tragedy, then transgression, and is moved to hope.
Nicholas Panayi has lived through a time when his home on the island of Cyprus was never without struggle and human conflict or the day to day reality of the 'Cyprus Problem.'
His art speaks to this struggle and the tragic condition of the 'hurt generations' affected by the war. He makes a response while only occasionally treating the subject in any literal sense. Central to his work is the desire for peace and reconciliation in the world in general as well as Cyprus in particular. The purpose of his work is not to record and rebuke but to arouse emotion and sensitise the viewer ….
"Even though I use these so called negative events that are happening," Panayi says, "I think the message eventually is positive."
The Seals
RODOULA Lioliou Anastasiou presents The Seals at Studio Gallery.
This is at 65, Pericleous, within the walls of Old Nicosia.
It will be opened on Saturday, March 10 (tomorrow) at 7.30pm by Nicholas Panayi, and will continue until March 16.
Through the use of mixed media, Rodoula Lioliou Anastasiou will present her paintings.
Her search for "The Seal" takes both a concrete and symbolic form, revealing all aspects of its understanding and existence.
The introversive struggle between the rare virtues and the vices, in desperate hope that the first will succeed, has a direct and indirect effect in human relationships from generation to generation.
This individual, self-gnostic attempt for a catharsis and understanding of self-existence is the balance between the rational and spiritual, the overpowering of "good over evil"."
Mavrommatis
at Technis
ERACLIS Mavrommatis has photographs at Technis Dromena Gallery.
Pablo Rodriguez, the Ambassador of Cuba opened this exhibition, which will continue until March 17 and will be covered next week.
Eraclis Mavrommatis was born in Nicosia. He studied photography in keeping up with the family tradition, working 25 years from manual to digital photography.
At the same time he also took up painting and combined the two arts to produce photography with collage, with painting and works of painting with photographic input.
Eraclis has taken part in 3 group exhibitions in Greece and Cyprus.
"Naked Truth" is the title of his second solo exhibition where "through a blending of arts he takes us on a trip of human shapes".
30 Glorious
LAST Friday Gloria Kassianides celebrated 30 years of her reign as Queen of Galleries of Contemporary Art.
She holds second place (only) to the Nicosia Museum for historical value.

If you are not in this photographic exhibition where on earth have you been?
The stunning (really stunning) show of "all our creative lives" caught by Gloria's candid flash is (was – it's all down now) surely the exhibition of the year.
There must be a book. Books, in fact. With many (extra) discs to be placed safely in/on our archeological sites, for posterity to appreciate what really went on and what we looked like in this vital period of the island.
Next at Gloria's: Erato Hadjisavvas.

Another Assia man
IN ADDITION to the exhibition of Kyriacos Michael Kashalos, son of the naOve painter Michael Chr. Kashalos, another artist from Assia is exhibiting in town.
This is Yiannis Pelekanos, whose exhibition opened last Friday at Diachroniki Gallery, Ledras.
This lovely gallery, which is right in the middle of old Nicosia is an extension of the other Diachroniki Gallery in town and the Dhali Gallery.
Last Friday Fotini Papadopoulou opened the exhibition by Yiannis Pelekanos.
The artist was born in Assia in 1937. He attended Assia Primary School from 1945 to 1951, but was unable to continue his studies due to financial difficulties within the family.
Thus, he ended up following the tradition of that period and became a builder, and at a later stage, a building contractor.
He is an entirely self-made man who transforms his memories of occupied Assia into painting. With nostalgia, he describes neighbourhoods that no longer exist; the habits, traditions and hard labour of the inhabitants of Assia, whilst continuing to look to the future.
He has had ten personal exhibitions since 1989 and has also taken part in many group exhibitions.
The exhibition continues until March 27.
Angels at
CONTINUING until March 17. The gallery is aflutter with art under the theme Angels.
It has truly taken wing; wonderful, enlightening with an exceptional variety.
Stephanides
at Apocalypse
A SUPERB exhibition of paintings with an almost Pollocian love of painterly values.
They flow.
They get caught and composed. They delicately swing between humour and horror.
Is this the mood of the times? All on the verge of change.
In safe aesthetical hands.
Is this really the last day?

LIBYA BESET BY INCREASING LAWLESSNESS
Former rebel fighters who are now integrated into the Libyan army and form the Diraa al-Gharbiya brigade are seen with their weapons guarding the western entrance of Tripoli on May 19.
On an evening in mid-March, U.S. Navy SEALs plied through Mediterranean waters on an inflatable boat and boarded a hijacked tanker. By the end of the two-hour operation, the commandos had stopped anti-government Libyan rebels from stealing the ship's oil.
In the three years since the uprising that overthrew long-time dictator Moammar Gadhafi, Libya's central government has failed to secure its oil ports, pipelines and fields, disrupting its primary revenue source. The battle for oil wealth in the increasingly lawless land reflects the turmoil that wracks the country in these post-revolutionary times.
In fact, the State Department recommended Tuesday that Americans leave Libya immediately, saying the security situation in Libya "remains unpredictable and unstable" with crime levels high in many parts of the country.
"U.S. citizens currently in Libya should exercise extreme caution and depart immediately," the department said in a statement.
"The problem that Libya is going through right now is a war for power," said Rawad Radwan, a Libyan blogger who lives in the capital, Tripoli. "Everyone wants to gain power, and they all believe that whoever controls oil will rule the country."
Earlier this month, renegade Libyan general Khalifa Hifter launched a bloody military offensive in the east to crush Islamist extremists. On May 18, the general's allied militias attacked parliament in the capital to try to unsuccessfully force the legislature to disband.
Over the weekend, the embattled parliament approved an Islamist-backed government led by Prime Minister Ahmed Maiteeq despite boycotts from non-Islamists and Hifter's complaints that the parliament is illegitimate.
Also, over the weekend, thousands of demonstrators gathered in cities across Libya to show support for Hifter, who later claimed the protests gave him a mandate to fight terrorism.
Broader conflict now looms as militias once united to overthrow Gadhafi are rallying behind opposing political sides. On May 20, Libya's election commission set June 25 for a parliamentary election in hopes of dampening the unrest through a vote that would give lawmakers clear legitimacy.
"Liberal forces in Libya are convinced that the reason for Libya's woes today is this current parliament," said Claudia Gazzini, a senior Libya analyst at the International Crisis Group. "And they're confident that new elected parliament would show that Libya's public is more liberal-leaning than Islamist-leaning."
Upheaval in the North African nation dates to the 2011 uprising against Gadhafi, who imposed one-man rule for 42 years. When he was killed following months of civil war, the nation lacked institutions or cohesive opposition groups to oversee a democratic transition.
"What you had in Libya was many different parties that rallied to overthrow Gadhafi, but once he was overthrown, these different factions, different regional power centers turned on each other," said Libya expert Frederic Wehrey, a senior associate at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace in Washington, D.C. "They're now competing for the spoils of the revolution."
Much of the tension stems from a backlash against Islamists and frustration with the weak legislature, which is comprised of a slim Islamist majority and accused of doing too little to rein in extremist militias, who gun down soldiers and policemen almost daily.
Rebels are blockading oil in the east to pressure central authorities to fulfill rebel demands that include distributing oil revenues across the country's three regions, said Osama Buera, a leader of a rebel movement that seeks autonomy for Libya's eastern region. But after the failed attempt in March, he said, the rebels there are no longer trying to sell the oil
Effective police and army forces are non-existent, leaving authorities little means of asserting control. The government has instead paid militias to ensure security.
"To be fair, right after the war, there was no other option," Radwan, the blogger, said. "But we just wasted three years for nothing. We heard a lot about engaging them in the army, engaging them in the police. But that did not happen."
Now the militias – some with al-Qaeda-inspired views – are prime sources of violence. And they're proving increasingly powerful with the help of weapons seized from Gadhafi's arsenals during the uprising against him.
"Anyone with a group of militia fighters, with a bunch of guns, can essentially push through any legislation they want," said Sumedha Senanayake, a Middle East and North Africa analyst at iJET International, a private intelligence firm. "At this point, democracy is pretty much a fallacy in the country."
"The instability of it all is what people are so sick and tired of," said Assia Amry, 25, a Libyan American living in Tripoli. "People feel like everyday life is hostage to these gang wars and these militia wars.
"They're just trying to live. They're trying to get their bread. They're trying to go to school. They're trying to go to a café. They just want to be normal," she added.
To solve its worsening problems, Libya needs political reconciliation and better security to safeguard its oil, analyst Wehrey said. "The Libyans own their revolution and they own the aftermath, and we have to give them a chance to sort this out."

It's time to relax and let loose. This weekend, you can watch dragon boats fly across Tempe Town Lake at Arizona Dragon Boat Festival, sip over 100 varieties of wine at Uncorked Wine Festival, or find your inner flower child at Bloom. For more things to do, visit Phoenix New Times' calendar.
The 42nd annual Spring Tempe Festival of the Arts will boast do-it-yourself creatives selling their wares along with great food and entertainment. To celebrate art's ability to bring us together, visitors will also have the opportunity to enter the Portal. Inside one of the gold-painted shipping containers you can meet someone else from across the nation or around the world. You'll be able to talk with them as if they are in the same room. The conversations can range from what a day in each other's life is like to what your favorite cereal is.
So you say you want to get into tabletop gaming and RPGs but don't know a Warhammer from a claw hammer? Join the party at the Arizona Game Fair, taking place from Friday, March 29, to Sunday, March 31, at Mesa Convention Center, 263 North Center Street. The geek-friendly event is a good place to get a crash course in gaming of the board, tabletop, miniature, collectible card, and role-playing varieties.
Attendees can choose from a library of more than 800-plus games, ranging from old favorites like Clue and Monopoly to the ever-popular Settlers of Catan, to try for themselves during open and scheduled gaming sessions throughout the weekend. Other activities will include a crossword puzzle championship, miniatures-painting station, a tabletop traders flea market, various game rooms, and more. Special guests include famed tabletop gaming designers Vital Lacerda and Vincent Baker.
If you can't get a hold of your rockabilly pals on the blower this weekend, don't sweat it, daddy-o. They're likely hanging out at this year's Arizona Rockabilly Bash up at Lake Pleasant. The weekendlong hepcat hullabaloo at Pleasant Harbor Marina and RV Resort, 8708 West Harbor Boulevard in Peoria, which runs from Friday, March 29, to Sunday, March 31, will feature three days of souped-up thrills, classic vehicles, and plenty of rockabilly sounds. Local bands like VooDoo Swing, Rhythm Dragons, and The Devillains will perform while activities like a vintage car and motorcycle show, pinup and tattoo competitions, and even a flamethrower contest will take place. Overnight camping will also be available.
In the highly anticipated final season of Game of Thrones, viewers will witness knights and dragons battling alongside and against each other to discover who is worthy to sit on the Iron Throne. The 16th annual Arizona Dragon Boat Festival will also feature winged serpents engaged in conflict, but it will be about as far as you can get from a Westeros bloodbath. Rooted in ancient Chinese tradition, athletes will paddle lavish dragon boats across Tempe Town Lake to the beat of a drum as they try to prove whose dragon flies the fastest.
Deciding on the perfect look for going out can be a lengthy and expensive endeavor, sometimes involving tearing through your closet or taking a trip to the mall. The folks involved with this weekend's Scottsdale Pajama Bar Crawl, however, needn't look any further than their dresser drawers.
As the name of the event implies, participants will ditch clubwear for sleepwear as they spend the afternoon and evening of Saturday, March 30, drinking and carousing in Scottsdale's downtown bar district while in their jammies. Think of it as a massive slumber party of sorts, albeit with adult beverages.
Where is the wild thing?
In today's increasingly digital world, it seems that brick-and-mortar bookstores are slowly being wiped out by online retailers. Thankfully his hasn't been the case with the Valley's own Changing Hands. For 45 years, this independent business has united the community with weekly poetry readings and visits from authors. The store's Tempe location will celebrate its anniversary with mini tarot card readings, activities for kids, complimentary cake, and a toast with the owners. The Phoenix venue will feature extended happy hour prices at the First Draft Book Bar.
So many wines to choose from.
Uncorked Wine Festival is returning to Arizona. You can sip over 100 varieties of vino from more than 40 vendors against the backdrop of Salt River Fields at Talking Stick. Pair your selection with an entree from the variety of gourmet food trucks on-site. This 21-and-over event will also feature a photo booth and a live DJ spinning some smooth jams. Proceeds will benefit STARS, an organization that works to improve the lives of those with developmental and cognitive disabilities.
From meteor showers to blood moons, there is no shortage of astronomical activity in Arizona. It's too bad bright city lights of Phoenix make it difficult to get a full view of the heavens. Thankfully, Fountain Hills, which is located about 30 miles east of Phoenix, was designated a Dark Sky Community last year. The second annual Fountain Hills Dark Sky Festival is a celebration of the city's efforts to curb light pollution, featuring presentations from educators, a virtual reality exhibit, a star tour, and live entertainment.
Bring out your inner flower, child.
For nearly three decades, vintage and race cars have added a grand's worth of mileage to their speedometers for a four-day springtime drive through Arizona. The 29th annual Bell Lexus North Scottsdale Copperstate 1000, put on by the Men's Arts Council, raises money every year for the Phoenix Art Museum. Their four-day journey kicks off at Tempe Diablo Stadium with a world-class car show where you can get up close to over 80 cars and talk shop with their owners.
Lace up your running shoes and stride over to Chase Field for the 2019 D-backs Race Against Cancer. The 5K course goes through the heart of downtown Phoenix. You can bring your favorite four-legged friend to the one-mile Family Fun Walk. All participants receive a commemorative T-shirt, drawstring bag, finisher medal, and a ticket to a Diamondbacks game. Proceeds benefit cancer research.

Q: How to enable c++11 in Cordova? I use features from C++11 like std::function and have problem with building my iOS plugin for Cordova. Errors like:
error: no type named 'function' in namespace 'std'

It looks like compiler doesn't have flag for c++11 but I have no idea how to tell Cordova about this flag.
For some reason providing flag directly:
<source-file src="src/ios/Example.cpp" compiler-flags="-std=c++11" />

doesn't work and produce same error.

A: I'm super late to the party, but I'm currently developing a plugin and facing the same issue.
It's hack-y and definitely not real, but a somewhat functional solution is changing the dialect and library flags in xcode directly. Please note that this may also mess with other plugins you might have.
Open the workspace (located at e.g. platforms/ios/HelloCordova/HelloCordova.xcworkspace) and then in build settings menu:

*

*Set C++ Language Dialect option to C++11 value.

*Set C++ Standard Library option to lib++ value.

As the most popular sport in the world, football blends with each nation's culture, population, and geography, and as a result, produces heroes, landmarks, and values intrinsic and unique to the nation, and, over a broader scale, the continent.
Each continent has their own relationship and stereotypes regarding football. Europe has the finest and fanciest academies, but the mean streets of South America have produced some of the greatest strikers in history. Nonetheless, it is in Africa where we often see children brave a million adversities, life or death circumstances, and travel thousands of miles away from their home to pursue their dreams of becoming professional footballers.
Not every player in this list, a list of the best U23 African players in football, had a treacherous upbringing. Not every player grew up in Africa, and some, apart from their international call-ups, do not regularly visit Africa.
Certain players on here were training in some of Europe's finest academies before they were teenagers. Others came to Europe as refugees, some impressed scouts while playing in notorious African slums, and others went home hungry every night.
Every player on this list is either playing in a top 5 league or playing Champions League football, or both. All except one, but that one also started a European final this year, so touché. Every player has earned an international cap. Every one of these players, by any extension or cultural definition, is living the dream. They've made it to the top.
In this constantly globalizing society, it's often hard to pin someone down to a singular nationality, language, and background. Thomas Anderson, the co-founder of Breaking The Lines, was raised in Holland, attended university in England, and lives in Wales. He'll still tell you he's Ghanaian.
The issue of African nationality is often complex and multidimensional. A little more than a century ago, King Leopold II of Belgium carried out a brutal genocide on the Congo, pillaging the nation for its ivory, rubber, and human labor. Still, you'll find players of Congolese descent, be it Romelu Lukaku or Vincent Kompany, choosing Belgium over Congo when it comes to international duty. Why? Why do they choose Diables Rouges over….Les Diables Rouges?
That isn't a character flaw–just because you choose to play for a European nation rather than an African nation–doesn't mean you wholeheartedly support colonialism and gentrification. It's more complex than that. But it still frustrates us, because we think it's simpler.
Maxime Lopez, of Marseille, recently chose France over Algeria. I remember thinking, 'Seriously Maxime? Vincent Koziello and Wylan Cyprien can't even make the French senior squad! What makes you think you can?'
Still, how many times has Maxime visited Algeria? Does he eat Algerian food, does he watch Algerian television? I don't have the answers, and while it's easy to presume that he isn't as in touch with his Algerian heritage as his brother Julien Lopez, who played for Algeria in the 2009 U-17 World Cup, it's always accurate.
It's easy to ridicule players like Ademola Lookman and Jordan Ibe for choosing England over Nigeria, when it is highly unlikely that they will ever play for the English national team. Still, they were born in England, they were raised in England, so apart from playing time, what would make them inclined to choose Nigeria?
That being said, they should've chose Nigeria.
I regret that I couldn't put Amadou Diawara on this list, but I cannot wait to see him don the Azzurri colors for the first time. I regret that I couldn't get more African writers on this list, but I'm hoping this list will rectify that for the next time. I created Breaking The Lines to highlight football in every corner of the world–with a special focus on exciting young talents. This is a huge step for us, a huge undertaking, and a massive success.
I want to thank my tremendous writers and artists for contributing to another superb list. I want to thank our followers for being so devoted to our project–no matter what angle we go for, or what we pursue, you've always been behind us. This project has taken weeks of hard work and research, but you make it worth it.
This is more than a list about Africa. This is a story about belonging, culture, and above all, the rags to riches tale that connects and brings goosebumps to every person in every section of the world.

Fenland is home to a population of 100,200 people, 60% of which are of working age. The economy of Fenland features a diverse mix of sectors and is made up of 3,405 businesses which combine to produce a GVA of around £2.2bn a year, operating at a productivity level of £69,500 per worker.
With a higher than average economic activity rate of 83.4%, a gross weekly pay of £456, a house price to earnings ratio of 7.65 and below average commercial property and land costs, Fenland is an affordable place to live and do business.
Spectacular growth
Fenland's economic growth has outstripped other regions of the UK for the last three years thanks to a thriving entrepreneurial spirit amongst our small but industrious population. Over 70% of businesses that were set up within the last 5 years in Fenland remain actively trading.
We have Cambridgeshire's only commercial port to sea in Wisbech and, with the A47 and A1101, enjoy good road links to Peterborough, Cambridge, Norwich and King's Lynn. Fenland offers an affordable base with easy access to urban centres and alternative trade routes.
Our businesses are committed to their workforce. Fenland employees receive the highest rate of on-the-job training compared to anywhere else in the UK. We have an amenable workforce that can be up-skilled in industry specific specialisms thanks to a new £7 million training centre at the College of West Anglia and have an apprenticeship up-take that mirrors regional and national trends.
We have more than 3,000 businesses operating in Fenland, collectively generating £2.2 billion of GVA a year
Fenland has below average commercial property rates and land costs, as well as being an area of traditionally low wage costs
We have confident businesses - in a survey conducted in April 2016, 50% of respondents indicated they had seen better business performance in the current year compared to last year, with 65% expecting an even better year during 2017.
By employment our top sectors are:
Public Admin, Education and Health 37%
Agriculture, Manufacturing 19.7%
Business Administration and Support Services 12%
Wholesale and retail, including motor trades 19.2%
Transport and Storage 5.6%
Our working-age population has an above average economic activity level of 83.4%
The total population of Fenland is over 100,000 and around 60% are of working age
Fenland has a house price to earnings ratio of 7.65, making it an affordable place to live.
Our economic centres
The four market towns in Fenland - Chatteris, March, Whittlesey and Wisbech - are the primary economic centres of the area. Each enjoys its own unique character and industrial make-up
Whilst enjoying the benefits of being a rural area, we also have easy access to the urban centres of Peterborough, Cambridge, King's Lynn and Norwich via the A141 and A47
The future of Fenland is being strategically managed to enhance its growth with projects like Wisbech 2020 set to boost productivity. Plans are gaining national traction for a new railway line linking Cambridge, March and Wisbech and infrastructure improvements to the A47.
Our key sectors
Agri-Food: As a rural area it's no surprise that we're a hub for agriculture and food production, home to household brands like Alan Bartlett, Del Monte, McCains, Greenvale, Lamb Weston and Nestle Purina (links). Agri-Food accounts for a large proportion of businesses in Fenland and with some of the most fertile land in the country, it's no surprise that this is the most well established sector for our area.
Manufacturing: The manufacturing sector is our biggest employer and we have a higher concentration of manufacturers than is found in the rest of the East of England or UK. Many of our manufacturers are linked to the Agri-Food industry and we have particular strengths in metal fabrication and precision engineering. This expertise in turn provides the opportunity to diversify into new markets. Stainless Metalcraft (link), for example, are developing a reputation for excellence in the nuclear industry and are now making great headway in new markets such as China.
Financial and Business Services: As we see more diversity in the industries growing here, they're supported by plenty of highly qualified accountants, solicitors and property and recruitment agencies who can provide advice and support for specific industries. With a higher proportion of companies in this sector than at national levels, our businesses are well served by specialist industry experts.
Wholesale & retail: With nearly 18% of Fenland's workforce employed in retail and wholesale, it's certainly a staple of our economy and testament to the entrepreneurial spirit in the area as we have proportionally more businesses in this sector than the average across the UK.
This retail sector is set to strengthen as Fenland aims to capitalise on its tourism pull and improve its business offer. Regeneration projects like Wisbech 2020 and the Garden town initiative are already creating a buzz around Wisbech, Chatteris, March and Whittlesey, improving infrastructure to give tourists and businesses better access and putting stock into these historic market towns to provide a renewed attraction for visitors.

Angela Jung, Feb. 23, 2017, 9:36 a.m.
South Korean girl group GFriend will drop a new album next month amid anticipation that it will follow the success of the group's previous hits, its management agency said Thursday. The upcoming EP, slated to come out March 6, is the first in eight months after its full-length album "LOL," according to Source Music.
The six-member act -- Sowon, Yerin, Eunha, Yuju, SinB and Umji -- rolled out two albums last year and enjoyed enormous popularity at home and abroad with back-to-back hits "Rough" and "Navillera."
Both tracks were enjoyed over 100 million times via music streaming sites. The group also topped charts run by local TV music programs for 15 weeks for "Rough," the lead song off its third EP, and 14 weeks for "Navillera," the lead track off "LOL."
"The girls will return with a fresh concept and image," Source Music added. "Please look forward to what new records they will set with the upcoming album."


Port St. Lucie police are investigating two reported vehicle thefts that occurred Friday morning about 5 miles apart.
PORT ST. LUCIE — Police are investigating two reported vehicle thefts that occurred Friday within about 20 minutes, a police spokesman said.
Sgt. Darin Howie, police spokesman, said he thinks the incidents at businesses about 5 miles apart could be related.
"People need to be aware that, I know it's cold out, but to leave the car running, it's an opportunity for somebody to steal a car, burglarize a car," Howie said.
Howie said the first incident happened at 5:14 a.m. at a 7-Eleven in the 1600 block of Northwest St. Lucie West Boulevard in St. Lucie West.
"The victim was in the store and the suspect got out of a small white car and jumped into the victim's car and was last seen headed toward I-95," Howie said.
Police said the victim went in the store for coffee and to pay for fuel. He left his vehicle, a white 2015 Nissan Altima, running.
Howie said at 5:36 a.m., at a RaceTrac in the 200 block of Southwest Port St. Lucie Boulevard, another vehicle was stolen.
He said the suspect in both cases was described as a black male wearing a hoodie.
In the RaceTrac incident, the vehicle stolen was a blue 2017 Toyota Corolla. The car was left running, according to police.
Howie said the vehicle taken during the 7-Eleven incident appears to have been spotted at RaceTrac before the theft there.
"It looks like they may have drove from the 7-Eleven to the RaceTrac in the stolen car," Howie said.
The 7-Eleven and RaceTrac are about 5 miles apart.
Surveillance video from RaceTrac shows a black male in a gray hoodie get out of a small silver or white vehicle and drive off in the victim's car.
Anyone with information is asked to call police at 772-871-5001 or Treasure Coast Crime Stoppers at 800-273-TIPS.


There have been times this year, fleeting moments, when my homing instinct kicks in.
A particularly cold snap in the weather that makes you inhale sharply. A low granite grey overcast sky in the morning. Soft green grass that I can run my hands through. Watching Doc Martin on TV and hearing familiar tones and lilts in the characters voices. Eating custard cream biscuits.
I see or hear or smell or taste things that instantly transport me home, just for a second. And it makes smile and I am happy.
I might have said it before, but my homing instinct is so strong that I honestly think you could pick me up and transport me anywhere in the world and I would be able to immediately tell you whether I was in my home country or not without even glancing around. Home just has a feel to it. One that is so overwhelming that it practically drops me to my knees when I arrive back on home soil, I have to close my eyes and just breathe deep, and a shroud of calm just descends on my shoulders, blanketing me in comfort.
It really is such a remarkable feeling and one that gets stronger the longer I am away.
I wrote a previous blog about my last trip home in January and a lot of the words from that time still ring true for me. It seems that I return home, in part, as an escape and recovery from the world I am currently living in. Whereas my last trip was fleeting, a mere two weeks, this time I spent a month and a half back in Blighty – a fine spell in which to not only recuperate, but to celebrate also.
And I have decided rather than write endlessly about my adventures at home, I wanted to just briefly say a few words and then let some photographs I took while I was there, speak for me.
My friends and family still remain the most important things in my life. I am nothing without the people that stand next to, and behind, me.
To descend on the home of my soon to be married friend, AJ, and her fiancé, Rob, and to be able to just pop my feet under the table and be made to feel like this is where I've always lived. A place of welcoming, of comfort, of love and support.
The familiar countryside of England is magical to me. I think my homeland is breathtakingly beautiful and it is easy to forget this when you are ensconced in daily life and might forget to look up and take notice. I was lucky enough to be able to 'road trip' north into Scotland during my stay, where once again I was welcomed by another close friend who had a "Stay as long as you like" message for me. I took the time to enjoy the scenery I have missed and revelled in the pleasures of a simple country walk, which I used to take all the time at home.
But probably the most remarkable experience I enjoyed was simply being a bystander in AJ and Rob's life. To be able to view my best friend's world in, I hope, an unobtrusive way. To have the opportunity that few other people have, to watch someone else's life in minute detail and learn from it something about both them and yourself.
I watched every evening as AJ faithfully made dinner for them both, while at the same time packing a work lunch for Rob for the following day. I saw them return from food shopping with AJ clutching a new bunch of flowers each week, for they brighten the house and make her happy. I observed them sitting companionably together in the evenings watching quiz shows and talking about the presenters or the topics that came up. I noticed how Rob would sometimes just siddle up and give AJ a cuddle when he felt like it.
I watched two people who were, very quietly and simply, in love. So very well suited. And whom I had the pleasure and honour of watching get married to each other. Twice. On the same day.
And while I really know nothing about weddings, having only been present at three in my whole life, this one seemed really quite perfect. I'm hoping AJ and Rob enjoyed themselves, because I certainly did, from start to finish. From the intimate registry office ceremony in the morning, to the hair appointment and subsequent make up session, and the fitting of the dress; everything in my mind went off without a hitch. I thought their personal vows at the friends and family ceremony were perfect – promises of no more cats without permission, came from AJ and Rob's declaration to not leave his shoes in the doorway anymore. I think their vows reflected perfectly their knowledge of each other.
And then the party! Food and music and ice cream! Oh, and the dancing of course – the choreographed dancing by AJ, Chrissy, Ed and myself to Michael Jackson's Beat It.
It was just all rather wonderful.
I love your feeling of home. Being pretty much a gypsy all my life I don't have that instinct. My feelings are more of a deja vu familiarity. Your pictures are beautiful.
Oddly, until I started to travel more, I never knew I had a homing instinct either!

The South Branch of the Souhegan River is a  river located in northern Massachusetts and southern New Hampshire in the United States. It is a tributary of the Souhegan River, which flows to the Merrimack River and ultimately to the Gulf of Maine.

The South Branch begins near Mount Watatic at the outlet of Stodge Meadow Pond in the town of Ashburnham, Massachusetts, and flows north through a chain of small lakes (Marble Pond, Ward Pond, and Watatic Pond) before turning northeast into the town of Ashby, Massachusetts. North of Ashby, the river enters New Ipswich, New Hampshire, passes through a small flood control reservoir, and joins the West Branch to form the Souhegan River, just north of the intersection known as "Gibson Four Corners".

Taylor Swift Stares a Lot in Her New Video for 'Style'
By William Twiddlesmith February 13, 2015
Taylor Swift released her third video off 1989 and this time it's quite moody. Nothing like "Shake It Off". It's darker, there's more staring at the camera and artsy. Swift and her Ricky Martin-lookin' love interest in the video keep reminiscing about each other, seeing each other in mirrors and pieces of glass. Then they start forceful banging on the beach. Nah, that part was left out, but you know Taylor's a freak. Always. Down.
The song is actually about her relationship with ex-boyfriend Harry Styles of One Direction. The guy who drove her to love her cats even more.

Pack your fishin rods, swim wear, and a change of clothes as you saddle up to head through the Prince Albert National Park into the Saskatchewan outback. Set up camp on a remote lake in the Boreal forest where you can catch your supper and watch it be cooked over the open flames of your campfire. Enjoy life as it was with the opportunity to see wild bison, deer, elk, moose, lynx, and many bird species. Fall asleep to the howl of loons, coyotes or even wolves under a bed of stars and perhaps a magnificent display of northern lights. Give yourself a day to relax by the lake or continue your adventure down the many trails in the area. A true Canadian cowboy experience.
Depart from the ranch at roughly 10am (times can be customized) and arrive at the Backcountry Camp around 3-4pm as it is approximately a 5 hour ride. You are welcome to go catch your supper on the lake you will be camped beside and it will be cooked over an open flame campfire. Bring whatever alcoholic beverages you like for around the campfire in the evenings. Breakfast is served at your leisure and multi-day trips will be based on how far you want to go. Departure days we recommend leaving camp after a good hearty breakfast but all times are flexible and customary. This is your vacation and we want you to relax and enjoy the ride.
Food Packages can be added for meals outside of the ones provided in your trip.
Take the wagon and switch on and off of the horses during your ride. Works great for larger groups and people that are hesitant to ride a full 5 hours in a day.
Take a day off from riding on your trip. Take the second day of your trip to relax and go fishing, swimming, canoeing, boating, hiking, berry picking or learning outdoor survival tips from our guides. Save $100/day if you would like to relax from a horseback adventure.

We love to go on dates. Just taking little slices of life to concentrate just on each other and have some shared experiences. Sometimes they're pretty simple, dinner and drinks, and sometimes they're a bit more elaborate. They usually involve food. Friday (and Saturday) we had a more elaborate date. The only really elaborate part of the date was that it took place out of town; other than a detail like that, we favor keeping things simple. We drove up to Avon, New York to go to the drive-in and stay the night. The drive up was gorgeous. It started out raining in Olean, and then about an hour into the drive (the full trip was about an hour and a half) it all cleared up. The final 10 minutes or so was stunning, on a ridge between Geneseo and Avon. The road follows a gentle ridge line between these two towns (because of the Geneseo River to the east and Conesus Lake to the west), and the views were not only far-ranging, they were of these bucolic horse farms. White fences, red barns, trees, meadows, smart farm houses – the whole bit. Lovely. So we got to town (they have a roundabout!) and found the Inn, and checked in.
The place we ended up staying, The Avon Inn, is unexpected, to say the least. The entire downstairs is bar/lounge/restaurant – including banquet facilities (they host weddings regularly, and on the day we checked out). The upstairs has 14 private bedrooms with private bathrooms. It's like a bed and breakfast and a hotel sort of combined into one. Maybe that's why they call it an inn. It has some questionable design details, but for the most part, it's cozy and the architecture is definitely a sight. Anyway, the restaurant had all these rave reviews, so besides staying in this old mansion, that was part of our motivation. After we got into our room (and figured out how to turn on the TV — the remote only had an "off" button…no "on" button…weird?) and relaxed with a glass of wine, we changed for dinner and headed downstairs. We had peeked into the main room earlier, and hoped we weren't in there – lots of big tables and a very large room (in retrospect, it was probably set up for the wedding the next day); fortunately we were seated in a smaller parlor off to the side. This room had perhaps 6 tables in it, and the largest table sat 4. We were near a floor to nearly-ceiling window (and the ceilings were, like, 16 feet up), which was nice, and the wallpaper was this William Morris-like print that was gorgeous in the space. And, for some reason, lots of Degas reproductions. And the food! Did I mention the food? Well it lived up to its reputation. I got the petite salmon (4 oz instead of 8 oz) with rice pilaf and a starter of artichokes French. The artichokes came first. They were 'choke hearts pan fried in butter and lemon. It reminded me strongly of pan fried scallops – very similar texture even. They were a little on the heavy side, but melt-in-your mouth delicious. A nice balance of buttery/tangy/tart. The salmon was amazing. I haven't had salmon in a long time. I used to eat it all the time, then I made a vow to try to eat other fish, too. Oh how I missed it. It was cooked to the perfect consistency – flaky yet succulent. And it had been seared on both sides, so it was very juicy. It was served with a sun-dried tomato sauce on top, which really paired well with the pudgy salmon taste. The rice pilaf was ok. Nothing special, but certainly not badly done.
Bob had something that looked a whole lot like Chicken Parmesan (but might have been called something else), and he got a LOT of it. I had some of his penne, which was smothered in a tomato sauce, and it was lovely. The sauce itself was very good – had a really good homemade texture that didn't taste like something that had been cooking for hours or came from a can – very fresh and hearty. I didn't try his chicken, but he sure seemed to enjoy it!
After dinner, we went to the Vintage Drive-In, which was the chief reason we came to Avon. This was the closest drive-in showing the movies we wanted to see (Inception and Twilight). We learned how to turn off my daytime running lights (parking brake), visited the large and pretty nice snack shack (lots of pinball, pool tables, and an eat-in area, relatively clean bathrooms with lots of soap), and toured around the grounds a little bit. It was getting dark, but the area was very nice. There are 4 screens (ours backed up to screen 3, but I believe 1 and 2 were separate screens), so the layout was a bit funky. But they had lots of nice grassy swards and some smaller trees scattered about. It was like a park, with a drive-in in the middle of it. They also host craft fairs and antique shows and stuff there, so the grounds are conducive to setting out lots of tents with plenty of parking. Other than one car that was parked across from us (at screen 3) that apparently didn't figure out how to turn off their daytime running lights, and another one that kept honking its horn, we had a really lovely time. The movies were entertaining and it's always an experience to watch at the drive-in, with the windows down and sunroof open, everyone softly starting their engines every 3o minutes or so and idling for a short while, crickets chirping, stars fading and brightening depending on what's on screen. If you haven't gone to the drive-in in awhile (or ever) I recommend it.
After the movie we headed back to the inn, which was only about a half-mile away. On our way to the drive-in, I asked Bob if it was far, and when he said it wasn't, I asked if we should just walk. And he so adroitly pointed out that then we'd have nowhere to watch or hear the movie. Duh. Not all my ideas are genius. The next morning we packed up and checked out, and then sat on the front porch for about half an hour. I snoozed and Bob listened to his iPod (and saw a lot of wedding guests and one nervous mother). Then we headed to Stony Brook State Park. We hauled out a blanket and some pillows, picked a soft-looking spot and just sunned for a few hours (fortunately we were near trees, so we actually got more shade than sun). The park itself, which I'd love to go back and explore again, is clearly very family-oriented. There's a large playground and a swimming area. And the place was packed! The best part, in my opinion is that there was someone manning the ranger cabin, to collect payment. With underfunding, the parks can't have someone on-duty to man the park, so they don't get any revenue when people come to the park, and it seemed for awhile that there were NEVER rangers at the parks. Lately, however, that has changed and there's a lot more staff and, especially on a day like that, the parks see a lot of benefit. After a couple hours, we packed up the car and headed back home; another wonderful date spent together.

Q: get all the responses from the flux I am trying to get all the responses from flux but sometimes I'm getting all the response and sometimes I'm not getting only few responses. Can anyone please help me on this. I have attached the picture for reference. I don't want to subscribe to that flux. I want those data's for manipulation.
urls i have key as name and url as value.
    public LinkedHashMap<String String> getDummyHealthData (Map<String Strings urls) {
        LinkedHashMap<String, String> urlMap=new LinkedHashMap<>();
Mono.when(Flux. fromStreamCurls.entryset().stream().log().flatmap(url->webclientBuilder.build().get().uri(url.getValue()).retrieve().bodyToMono (string.class). onSuccessorError((res,err)->{ urlMap.put(uri.getKey(),res);    )}
        ).OnErrorResume (e->Mono.empty)).block(); System.out.println(urlMap)
 return urlMap;
}

A: onErrorResume operator will not help you to resume the stream.
If you want to get all response, you need to process error.
You can write doOnError to process exceptions. Code may be below:
doOnError(e -> urlMap.put(uri.getKey(), "defaultString"))


It is that time of the year gardeners need to churn the soil and plant the seeds. When it comes to tilling tools it is always some claiming to be multi use. Many people need to consider their budget before looking at powered heavy duty garden tillers or manual ones. Another piece of information you may want to keep in mind is how much storage room they have to store the equipment. Before deciding which tiller to buy one should consider the size of their lawn and what they demand from the piece equipment they may purchase.
Manual rototillers are good for small size plots or small jobs. I would not recommend a manual one for a medium to large size spaces. They require upper body strength, if you love exercise then by all means go for the manual cultivator. But if not you would need to look at heavy duty garden tillers for a medium to large plot.
If you are someone with a medium size space then it is recommended to use powered tools. There is a large market for powered tools. In the market you may see everything from a mini tillers to heavy duty cultivators. With medium spaces, lawn care experts recommend heavy duty garden tillers. If you do not have the money or the space to store your heavy duty cultivator, do not worry, they are available to rent, afterwards you can use a smaller cheaper cultivator to maintain your plot year round.
These kinds of tools can range in price from $400-$900, expensive on the meekest of budgets. For large plots you may want to consider investing in heavy duty garden tillers. Not only would it cut your tilling time in half they are much better at maintenance for larger plots.


This is a simple advice for all men from abroad who are potential scam victims.
You know, regularly we receive typical story about a man who was tricked on $5-7-10 thousand dollars. All of them have been trying their relationship with a woman from Russia and Ukraine. The scheme is as follows: they start their at first romantic and then sincere and trustful relationship, but lately they send money being in love and embarrassed with lovers problem, as true helping hand. But as soon as some different and unusual things appear they cause suspicious feelings what makes them pause with money sending, thereafter a woman disappears. If a man tries to get in touch with her – he cannot even find a contact. Of course, they have never met each other in real life.
Scam artist lady made a heart of a man broken and his wallet empty for about $200,000. Find below the story.
He bag the God to give him such a perfect girl, the one he dreamed about. She was the one he met and the only one, that one! Still he thinks so but he lost all his money so far. The girls is still a dream for him and supposedly she is just a virtual image..
He was the first who send a letter to her.
That was a Sunday morning, in the end of March 2014, a letter was found in the mailbox with the subject line: OTHER HALF!
Do you know what is a love perfect match? Congratulations: you were indentified as a OTHER HALF in our special matching program and if you are interested – please follow think link to find the female profile on the website.


The hallmark of a good sequel is its ability to take everything that we loved about the original film and completely dial up the insanity. Not every follow-up manages to accomplish that mission (in fact, some completely fail), but Matthew Vaughn's Kingsman: The Golden Circle appears to be shaping up quite nicely. In fact, a new photo from the highly anticipated sequel has debuted online, and it shows Channing Tatum's character in the film dressed as a nerdy cowboy. Check out the newly released photo below to see all of the bizarre and downright weird spy shenanigans for yourself.
EW has officially released photos of the new members of the Kingsman ensemble ahead of the debut of The Golden Circle, and I think it is safe to say that our anticipation for this sequel just went through the roof. With the American characters in the upcoming Kingsman sequel (particularly Channing Tatum's character), it appears that the film wants to play up the mythology of the American cowboy in the same way that Matthew Vaughn's original Kingsman toyed with the idea of a dapper British agent. It's unclear how much of the film will involve Tatum wearing this ridiculous costume, but it's fairly clear that the guy definitely rocks the cowboy look.
Despite the somewhat dorky look that Channing Tatum is sporting in this photo, it sounds like you will not want to mess with his character when Kingsman: The Golden Circle debuts. In particular, one of the gadgets rumored to appear in the film is an "electric lasso" with the ability to slice and dice bad guys. Given what we saw in the first Kingsman, we're sure Matthew Vaughn will include plenty of blood to accompany that lasso's effects. Other leaked images of Tatum's character have shown him sporting a more traditional and stylish look in the film, so this cowboy getup may simply be a very authentic disguise that allows this secret badass to blend in during a mission. Only time will tell.
That said, the overall dichotomy between the American agents and the British agents seems like it will play a relatively substantial role in the central narrative of Kingsman: The Golden Circle. Returning to the story of Eggsy (Taron Egerton) after saving the world in his first mission against Valentine, The Golden Circle will see the Kingsman headquarters destroyed, which will subsequently force him to venture to the United States to team up with Kingsman's American counterparts -- appropriately named the Statesmen. This adventure will bring him into contact with a number of bizarre characters and will bolster the cast of The Golden Circle's ensemble to include heavy-hitters like Jeff Bridges, Julianne Moore, Halle Berry, and Elton John -- in addition to returning cast members like Egerton, Mark Strong, and Colin Firth.
We will bring you more information related to Kingsman: The Golden Circle as new details related to Matthew Vaughn's highly-anticipated sequel become available to us. The film is slated to make its theatrical debut later this year on September 29.

LIPID MAPS® abbreviations for glycerophospholipids (GP)
The LIPID MAPS® glycerophospholipid abbreviations (PC, PE, etc.) are used here to refer to species with one or two radyl side-chains where the structures of the side chains are indicated within parentheses in the 'Headgroup(sn1/sn2)' format (e.g. PC(16:0/18:1(9Z)). By default, R stereochemistry at the C-2 carbon of glycerol and attachment of the headgroup at the sn3 position is assumed. Also, acyl chains are assumed by default. The 'O-' prefix is used to indicate the presence of an alkyl ether substituent e.g. PC(O-16:0/18:1(9Z)), whereas the 'P-' prefix is used for the 1Z-alkenyl ether (Plasmalogen) substituent e.g. PC(P-16:0/18:1(9Z)).
For molecules with opposite (S) stereochemistry at C2 of the glycerol group and attachment of the headgroup at the sn1 position, the stereochemistry specification of [S] is appended to the abbreviation. The 'Headgroup(sn3/sn2)' abbreviation format is used.
For molecules with unknown stereochemistry at the C-2 carbon of the glycerol group, the stereochemistry specification of [U] is appended to the abbreviation and the structure is drawn with C-2 stereochemistry unspecified.
