Q: How to return an XML element value from a Descendant when passing in another element value from that Descendant I am new to working with LINQ to XML, but I can see how it could be helpful to my current problem. I want a method that you pass in an XML Document and an Element value, the method would then return a different Element Value from the same Descendant. For example if I provided a "StationName" I would like to know what "ScannerType" belongs to that "StationName"
Here is my XML
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<stations>
  <station>
    <stationName>CH3CTRM1</stationName>
    <scannerType>GE LightSpeed VCT</scannerType>
    <scannerID>COL02</scannerID>
    <siteName>CUMC</siteName>
    <inspDose>180</inspDose>
    <expDose>100</expDose>
    <kernel>STANDARD</kernel>
  </station>
  <station>
    <stationName>CTAWP75515</stationName>
    <scannerType>SIEMENS Force</scannerType>
    <scannerID>UIA07</scannerID>
    <siteName>Iowa</siteName>
    <inspDose>careDose</inspDose>
    <expDose>careDose</expDose>
    <kernel>Qr40 5</kernel>
  </station>
  <station>
    <stationName>JHEB_CT06N_JHOC2</stationName>
    <scannerType>SIEMENS Force</scannerType>
    <scannerID>JHU04</scannerID>
    <siteName>JHU</siteName>
    <inspDose>careDose</inspDose>
    <expDose>careDose</expDose>
    <kernel>Qr40 5</kernel>
  </station>
</stations>

Here are the methods that are currently in question
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.IO;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Xml.Linq;

namespace ManualPhantomProcessor.XMLParser
{
    class SearchXML
    {
        public string filename = "SiteData.xml";
        public string currentDirectory = Directory.GetCurrentDirectory();

        public XDocument LoadXML()
        {
            string siteDataFilePath = Path.Combine(currentDirectory, filename);
            XDocument siteData = XDocument.Load(siteDataFilePath);
            return siteData;

        }

        public IEnumerable<string> GetScannerModel(XDocument xmlDocument, string stationName)
        {
            var query = xmlDocument.Descendants("station")
                .Where(s => s.Element("stationName").Value == stationName)
                .Select(s => s.Element("scannerType").Value)
                .Distinct();

            return query;
        }
    }
}

Here is my Programs.cs file
using ManualPhantomProcessor.XMLParser;
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Xml.Linq;

namespace ManualPhantomProcessor
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            SearchXML searchXML = new SearchXML();

            XDocument siteData = searchXML.LoadXML();

            IEnumerable<string> data = searchXML.GetScannerModel(siteData, "CH3CTRM1");

            Console.WriteLine(data);
        }
    }
}

I should be a simple console application, but it seem like no matter what I try I keep getting a null value when I expect the scannerType value from the XML document that corresponds with the station name "CH3CTRM1"
the application doesn't crash but in my console I get the following:
System.Linq.Enumerable+DistinctIterator`1[System.String]
Could explain what I am doing incorrectly?

A: Your code is good, the problem is here Console.WriteLine(data); the WriteLine take string like a parameter not a list of string. to display the station names use a loop, like the following code :
foreach(string stationName in data)
{
   Console.WriteLine(stationName);
}

The documentation of WriteLine
i hope that will help you fix the issue.

A: What you're seeing is the string form of the IEnumerable<string> returned by GetScannerModel().
There are two possibilities:

*

*Only one scanner model is expected to be found (because a station name is expected
to be unique).

*Any number of scanner models can be found.

In the first case, change GetScannerModel() to return a string and have it do soemthing like return query.FirstOrDefault(); (or .First() if you want an exception if no match was found). Your client program then remains unchanged.
In the second case, @Sajid's answer applies - you need to enumerate the IEnumerable in some way, for example through foreach.

A: Use a dictionary :
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Xml;
using System.Xml.Linq;

namespace ConsoleApplication1
{
    class Program
    {
        const string FILENAME = @"c:\temp\test.xml";
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            XDocument doc = XDocument.Load(FILENAME);

            List<Station> stations = doc.Descendants("station").Select(x => new Station
            {
                stationName = (string)x.Element("stationName"),
                scannerType = (string)x.Element("scannerType"),
                scannerID = (string)x.Element("scannerID"),
                siteName = (string)x.Element("siteName"),
                inspDose = (string)x.Element("inspDose"),
                expDose = (string)x.Element("expDose"),
                kernel = (string)x.Element("kernel")
            }).ToList();

            Dictionary<string, Station> dict = stations
                .GroupBy(x => x.stationName, y => y)
                .ToDictionary(x => x.Key, y => y.FirstOrDefault());

        }
    }
    public class Station
    {
        public string stationName {get;set;}
        public string scannerType {get;set;}
        public string scannerID {get;set;}
        public string siteName {get;set;}
        public string inspDose {get;set;}
        public string expDose {get;set;}
        public string kernel { get; set; }
    }
}

Newly Discovered Fetus Is Youngest Egyptian Mummy on Record
This CT scan of the coffin, dating from 644 B.C. to 525 B.C., shows the mummy's upper limbs and skull.

A miniature coffin discovered more than a century ago holds the remains of the youngest Egyptian ever embalmed as a mummy on record, researchers in England said.
A computed tomography (CT) scan of the coffin revealed that the coffin didn't hold mummified internal organs, as researchers had suspected, but instead contains the tiny mummy of a human fetus, according to the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge, England. The mummified fetus was likely at only 16 to 18 weeks of gestation when it died, likely from a miscarriage, museum officials said.
"This landmark discovery … is remarkable evidence of the importance that was placed on official burial rituals in ancient Egypt, even for those lives that were lost so early on in their existence," museum researchers said in a statement.
The British School of Archaeology originally uncovered the 17-inch-long (44 centimeters) coffin in Giza in 1907, and the Fitzwilliam Museum added the coffin to the museum collection that same year. The cedarwood coffin is a perfect miniature of a regular-size coffin from Egypt's Late Period, and likely dates to about 644 B.C. to 525 B.C., museum researchers said. It even has "painstakingly small" carvings on it, the researchers added. [Photos: 1,700-Year-Old Egyptian Mummy Revealed]
For years, museum curators assumed that the coffin held internal organs, which were routinely removed during the Egyptian embalming process. But curators found otherwise when they examined the coffin during preparations for the museum's bicentennial exhibition, "Death on the Nile: Uncovering the Afterlife of Ancient Egypt," which opened in February.
What they discovered in the coffin surprised them.

The wood casket contained a small wrapped package, bound in bandages and covered with molten black resin. An X-ray of the coffin gave inconclusive results, but suggested that the container held a small skeleton. So, the researchers examined the tiny bundle with a micro CT scan.
The resulting CT images revealed that the coffin held the remains of a tiny skeleton, which the researchers left undisturbed.
"CT imaging has been used successfully by the museum for several projects in recent years, but this is our most successful find so far," Dr. Tom Turmezei, recently an honorary consultant radiologist at Addenbrooke's Hospital in Cambridge, England, said in the statement. "The ability of CT to show the inner workings of such artifacts without causing any structural damage proved even more invaluable in this case, allowing us to review the fetus for abnormalities and attempt to age it as accurately as possible."
The CT scans showed that the fetus already had five digits on each of its hands and feet, as well as clearly visible long leg and arm bones. However, it's unclear whether it was a boy or a girl, and it's unknown what caused the miscarriage, if that's what really happened, the researchers said.
The CT images also indicate that the fetus' arms are crossed over its chest. This intricate positioning, coupled with the extraordinary detail on the coffin, suggest that ancient Egyptians placed great importance on the fetus' burial, the researchers said.
"The care taken in the preparation of this burial clearly demonstrates the value placed on life, even in the first weeks of its inception," said Julie Dawson, head of conservation at the Fitzwilliam Museum.
This discovery isn't the only one of its kind. King Tutankhamun's tomb contained two mummified fetuses, which were estimated to be at 25 weeks and 37 weeks into gestation. Archaeologists have also discovered a few other examples of miscarried babies in ancient Egyptian burials, the researchers said.
The public can view the miniature coffin at the Fitzwilliam Museum until the exhibit ends on May 22.

It is often said that swimming and cycling once learnt never forgotten but for that, you need to know how to swim properly. Swimming is one of the all round best activities that can be both recreational as well as useful. Its great for people of all ages and that is why nowadays you will find that most people are queuing up to admit themselves in swimming classes. Swimming is used as a rehabilitation therapy, as water supports your body, works all the major muscle groups, gets your heart pumping, and puts little stress on your knees and joints.
Most of the parents want their baby to learn to swim realizing its usefulness. Swimming is not an uphill task. It is really easy and engaging. Once you get the hang of swimming, you will discover it interesting enough. Do not get frightened or do not worry about drowning, just have confidence. Keep in mind that your body is less dense than water; ultimately, you will float on water. Here's some handpicked steps helping you to learn how to swim.
As a first step of learning how to swim, you need to get into the water holding the side of the pool. Make sure that your baby can hold the wall at the side of the pool. Allow your head to get under the water but remember how to hold breath.
Secondly, try to grab on to side of the pool and let your legs float out behind you. Start throwing your feet and get a feel of how it is done.
Now proceed to third step, slightly jump off the ground and bring your right arm in front of you. Now cup your hand and push your arm through the water. Repeat the process with your other arm and at the same time kick your feet to help you move forward and faster.
Finally, if your arms get tired or if you get exhausted just do not panic. Let your arms float out to your sides, and let your feet float out in front of you. Flip over onto your back and float.
So, what are you waiting for? If you really want to teach your baby how to swim, just cast a glance at these above-mentioned steps and learn how to swim and enjoy the fun to show off your swimming tricks at the public school and other competitions.

Q: Bond CF for loop and if else loop I am trying to add the last cash flow back into the par value using a if/else loop, but I can't seem to do it. How do I assign an int to a specific item in the range? I am trying to make it so if the index > 10, it will add the par value back in.
par = 1000
coupon_rate = 3
T = 5
freq = 2

def cf_calculator(par, r, T, freq):
    for i in range(T * freq):
        if (T) < (T * freq):
            coupon = (r/100) * par/freq
            print(coupon)
        else:
            coupon = (r/100) * par/freq + par
            print(coupon)

print(cf_calculator(1000,3,5,2))

I know my if loop is wrong. Is there a better way?

A: I assume this is what you are meaning to do:
par = 1000
coupon_rate = 3
T = 5
freq = 2

def cf_calculator(par, r, T, freq):
    for i in range(0,(T * freq)+1):
        if (i) < (T * freq):
            coupon = (r/100) * par/freq
            print(coupon)
        else:
            coupon = (r/100) * par/freq + par
            print(coupon)

print(cf_calculator(1000,3,5,2))

Output:
15.0
15.0
15.0
15.0
15.0
15.0
15.0
15.0
15.0
15.0
1015.0
None

Now, according to the name of the function, you just need to discount each cash flow with its corresponding discount rate. Afterwards, you can add all of your discounted cash flows together in order to obtain the present value of the bond (which you probably want the function to return).
Additionally, I would rewrite the code a bit to make it more readable:
par = 1000
coupon_rate = 3
T = 5
freq = 2

def cf_calculator(par, r, T, freq):
    for i in range(0,(T * freq)+1):
        if i < (T * freq):
            coupon = ((r/100) * par) / freq
            print(coupon)
        else:
            coupon = (((r/100) * par) / freq) + par
            print(coupon)

print(cf_calculator(par,coupon_rate,T,freq))

Media Mind Control Propaganda
American Mind Control Media and the Manufactured Terror War
" … Can you imagine how … American perceptions [would change] if they were allowed to see and hear the truth? … "
Do Americans Really Have Access to the Truth?
By RAY HANANIA June 7, 2007
I'm sitting in the Ambassador Hotel in Arab East Jerusalem glued to the TV watching the al-Jazeera English language satellite news station report things about the world that we never hear about in America.
It's amazing how much information is kept from us, although I am not really surprised that the American media is so censored and controlled and influenced that we only get a filtered version of the rest of the world. No wonder people in other countries are angry with us. They think because we are the supposed "leader of the free world" that Americans really have a "free press." But when I see how much information is being kept from us, I am starting to wonder. No wonder President Bush and his criminal conspiracy called the Bush Administration has hammered al-Jazeera, wrongly accusing the Qatar-based TV news station of being the voice of terrorists. Listen, no where does demagoguery work more effectively than in a country where it's citizens are naïve and think that they live in a free press country. For example, I watched on al-Jazeera a story you would never see on most American news stations. The Israeli military got into two incidents this week. The first was in response to a Hamas terrorist gun fight where a Hamas terrorist was killed. That was reported by most American media, with the emphasis on "Hamas terrorist." What was not reported, or barely reported, was another incident in which Israeli soldiers stormed into a home in Hebron in the Israeli Occupied West Bank, and shot and killed an unarmed grandfather point blank in front of his home. When the grandmother started screaming, cursing the soldiers, the soldiers shot her. And when the son started screaming, they shot him. And when the three little grand children started crying, they shot the children, too. Wow. An event like that would make Israel's occupation army look bad. God forbid we would allow that to happen. Better to simply not report the news than report something that might make Israel's government look bad. Which is one reason why al-Jazeera is slandered as being the "voice of the terrorists." How else can you justify denying the right of Americans to hear all sides of an important topic than to slander a station and denounce it, wrongly, as being terrorist sympathizers. Who wants to watch broadcasts from terrorists? Comcast Cable systems had been negotiating with al-Jazeera to broadcast the English language station, but it came under so much pressure from pro-Israel groups and from conservative groups that believe that all terrorists are Muslims that it decided not to allow the English language station to be included in the program modules offered to its huge audience. Can you imagine how that would change American perceptions if they were allowed to see and hear the truth? How can a president expect to lie about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, for example, if we start allowing the American people to actually think for themselves? Think for themselves? That implies that Americans are smart and have brains. But we know when we control what we can watch, we are basically saying that Americans are not smart enough to figure out what is right and wrong. So, we have to control what they see and hear because, well, I guess the extremists in this country believe that Americans are just "too stupid" to figure out the truth. Don't' confuse the poor American people with too much free speech, because who knows, maybe they will start to believe all that garbage about how America is the "leader of the free world." We wouldn't want to pollute the American mind with too much information. We Americans are not that smart. We would be confused. We would make mistakes like, questioning a president who sends billions in funds to fight a war in Iraq, when he can't find 10 million dollars to help the poor, or funds to give Americans national health care, or underwrite better programs to help our seniors, or care for the homeless, or feed the poor. But we can find billions to fight a war that we should never have fought. Because we Americans are so educated that we just believe our president when he says Iraq has weapons of mass destruction. Now we are in a growing, un-winnable mess in Iraq where three to four American soldiers are being killed everyday and we have no hope of ever winning. Well, if we can just keep the war going long enough to get past the next presidential election, then who cares if we lose and how high the number of American soldier fatalities reaches. The truth about al-Jazeera is that only a very small portion of the news addresses the Middle East. The station even broadcasts interviews with anti-Muslim fanatics, and presents news that really represents both sides of an issue, something we NEVER see in the American media. I did see that the American media is reporting extensively on how Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez shut down a TV station he said was anti-Venezuelan. That we will report. But when we shut down al-Jazeera's ability to broadcast in America, it's okay? I know I am going to get hammered by some American readers who are going to call me a traitor for daring to question our ridiculous media censorship. They're going to say that supporting bringing al-Jazeera to America is heresy! How unpatriotic that me, a former Vietnam Era veteran, might suggest something that would help educate our so very uneducated American public. Americans are the most educated people in the world, but the least educated about the world. I'd like to change that. How about you?

So back in 2001, the islamics were alleged to have done 911; they were the terrorists, but not according to the FBI; animal rights activists were terrorists in their twisted world, not those rightwingers with the automatic weapons. Now it turns out that the Bushies did 911, so I guess now the Bushies are the terrorists, huh. Yuppers.


Former Little Falls Miner Caleb Thielbar has been assigned to the Arizona Fall League where he will represent the Minnesota Twins.
Thielbar, who pitched in Little Falls during the 2007 New York Collegiate Baseball League season, is one of six Twins prospects who will suit up for the Peoria Javelinas.
Drafted by the Milwaukee Brewers in the 18th round of the 2009 draft out of South Dakota State University, Thielbar joined the Twins late in the 2001 season. The Brewers had released Thielbar in December of 2010 after two seasons during which he advanced no higher than Wisconsin of the Low Class A Midwest League. The Northfield, Minn., native returned home and signed a contract with the St. Paul Saints of thee independent American Association. The Twins signed Thielbar late in the 2011 season and he made three appearances in the Florida State League.
Thielbar returned to Fort Myers to start 2012 and jumped two levels over the course of the season, finishing in Rochester of the AAA International League. Working mostly out of the bullpen, the 6-foot left-hander pitched 77 2/3 innings in 48 appearances and struck out 74 batters while walking 21. He posted a 6-2 record with a 2.43 ERA.
Thielbar was an NYCBL all-star while pitching for the Miners.
Joining Thielbar in Peoria will be another left-hander with ties to the NYCBL. Logan Darnell pitched for the Amsterdam Mohawks in 2008. Darnell pitched at the University of Kentucky and was briefly a teammate of Thielbar this summer with the New Britain Rock Cats in the AA Eastern League.

Socialization, Social network, EMI, Japan, Study abroad, Residence hall
The present study examined differential social experiences of international students living in a residential hall called 'Nihongo House' (Japanese language house) at a Japanese university. By conducting social network analysis (SNA), as well as making use of ethnographic data collected through participant observation and semi-structured interviews, we explain how constellations of interpersonal relations at the house transformed over the course of one semester and what factors were responsible for those changes. Additionally, we present three focal cases of international students. These students—with different motivational orientations, personal dispositions and abilities, and social standing—went through diverse social processes, which led to different levels of success in respective accounts. Based on the analysis, we discuss how social experiences of these students in this particular setting can be understood in relation to their language use and potential development and how this type of residential hall can effectively nurture interpersonal relationships.
本研究では、日本の大学における外国人留学生と日本人学生の人間関係構築プロセスを記述し、言語使用・習得への示唆を考察する。特に、寮という制度的に区切られた空間に着目し、寮の中で、1) どのように人間関係が構築され、コミュニティが形成されたのか、2) どのような要因が人間関係構築やコミュニティ形成に影響を与えたかを明らかにすることを目的とする。対象は日本国内のある大学に近年設置されたテーマ別寮の一つである「日本語ハウス」に住む留学生と日本人14名である。データとして、学期開始前と終了後に行った社会ネットワーク調査、半構造化面接、参与観察、寮に関する文書等を一学期間収集した。これらのデータを言語社会化の観点から分析した結果、メンバーによる活動の企画や参加を通したコミュニティ形成の過程が観察された。一方で、個人による参加のプロセスの違いや、コミュニティ全体としての関係、細分化された個人間での関係といった多層性を持った複雑な人間関係の存在が明らかとなった。また、異なる参加のパターンを見せた3名の留学生のケースを紹介し、彼らの参加プロセスに与えた影響について、言語能力(日本語や英語)、各学生の所属する複数のコミュニティ(サークルや授業等)における日本語ハウスコミュニティの位置づけ、ハウス内外の環境という観点から例証し、生活・学びの環境づくりについて考察する。

Division III XC
DI XC Main
Region Championships
Kibet, Central Arizona claim national titles
CHAMPIONSHIP CENTRAL | RESULTS | PHOTO GALLERY
Garden City, KS – Five different runners held leads across six splits, but it was Hutchinson's (KS) Andrew Kibet who came away with the 2018 NJCAA DI Men's Cross Country National Championship on Saturday at the Buffalo Dunes Golf Course. Central Arizona was crowned the overall team national champion.
With three runners separated by less than a second at the four-mile mark, Kibet made a late kick to move up from third place to claim the program's first-ever individual national championship with a time of 25:25.36.
Despite not having a top-10 finisher, Central Arizona relied on the team's consistent pace to claim the program's eighth overall national championship and second in three years. The Vaqueros also set an NJCAA record with its seven DI championship, all coming since 2002.
After crossing the first mile marker in ninth place, Kibet made ground and jumped to second after two miles. The freshman outlasted the field down the stretch for the title.
Central Arizona was led by Ikageng Gaorekwe's 11th place finish at 26:18.41. Santiago Hardy (16), Manuel Olivo-Quinones (19), Aaron Orar (25), and John Ngaruiya (29) all scored for the Vaqueros in a span of just 57 seconds while Davonte Jeff-Reynolds boasted an impressive 32nd place finish.
Iowa Central, the 2017 champion, finished second overall, led by Ezekiel Kipchirchir's third-place finish. Kipchirchir finished second overall at the 2017 championship.
Seven different programs were represented in the top-10 individual finishers, including Cloud County (KS), South Plains (TX), and Louisburg (NC).
In a highly-competitive race, the 100 team points for Central Arizona are the most for a DI national champion since Lansing scored 111 in 2007.
Central Arizona and Iowa Central have finished first or second in each of the last six national championships with each side claiming three titles. Decided by just 18 points, the 2018 race was the fourth-closest finish between the two programs.
El Paso placed three runners inside the top-10, led by Dennis Kiptoo's fifth-place performance for the program's best team finish since 2011.
Colby's Nehemiah Too finished as the individual runner-up with a time of 25:32.06. Too was joined by teammate Emmanuel Kipngetich who finished 10th overall.
289 individual runners took to the course on Saturday while 36 programs placed in the team standings.
Iowa Central took home the 2018 DI Women's Cross Country National Championship.

Spain caps year-end parties at 10 people, restricts domestic travel
By Belén Carreño
MADRID (Reuters) - The Spanish government agreed with regional authorities on Wednesday that a maximum of 10 people per household will be allowed to gather for the Christmas and New Year holidays to avoid spreading the coronavirus, Health Minister Salvador Illa said.
FILE PHOTO: Healthcare workers speak during a break in collecting swab samples from residents to be tested for the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) during massive testing, in Ronda, Spain November 11, 2020. REUTERS/Jon Nazca/File Photo
The agreement, which applies to celebrations on Christmas Eve, Christmas, New Year's Eve and on New Year's Day, means a slight relaxation of the current general rule that allows gatherings of up to six people, except in some regions that have defined their own limits.
The start of the nighttime curfews in force in most Spanish regions would be moved to 1:30 a.m. from 11 p.m. on Dec. 24 and Dec. 31.
Movement of people between regions will be banned between Dec. 23 and Jan. 6, except for visits to family. Illa did not explain how this would work out or be monitored - possibly a tough task considering how many people travel at Christmas precisely to be with family.
"It is desirable that people restrict their mobility and social contacts as much as possible," Illa said, encouraging people not to move despite the loopholes. "To sum it up, this Christmas we stay at home."
Each region is now free to toughen up the measures on the movement of people.
Governments across Europe are trying to navigate between avoiding spreading the virus over the holiday season and allowing people to celebrate with family and friends.
The 10-person limit includes children, and the official recommendation is for people from the same household to celebrate together without outside guests.
Spain imposed a six-month state of emergency starting in November, which gives regions legal backing to impose curfews and other restrictions.
While the rate of infection in Spain has slowed since, its overall tally of over 1.66 million COVID-19 cases is among the highest in western Europe. The death toll reached 45,784 on Wednesday.
The holiday rules were agreed under the six-month state of emergency, which will be in place until May.
The executive also announced on Wednesday that while the state of emergency lasts, the regions will have to guarantee housing for vulnerable people, and evictions will be restricted.

Sometimes antivirus software shows false detections over crack/keygens. You can have such issue because cracks, patches and keygens sometimes make system modifications. In 99.9% of cases cracks and keygens are rather safe. Nevertheless you must look through AV report below and decide for yourself whether to proceed to download or not.
Now you will see scan result from all known antivirus software. At the end you will see overall theoretical threat score.

Phase diagram and thermodynamic properties of H2
S. M. Osman*, I. Ali, R. N. Singh
A statistical mechanical-based theory is used to develop the equation of state for the molecular fluid of H2. We incorporate in this equation the long-range correlations through the double Yukawa potential, dimerization of the H2 molecule by treating the fluid as a hard convex body fluid, and first-order quantum correction which is important at low temperatures. We use this to calculate the liquid-vapor equilibrium of H2, including the temperature and pressure dependence of compressibility factor, entropy, specific heat, compressibility, and sound velocity.

Jane Badler (born December 31, 1953) is an American-Australian actress and singer. She is known for her role as Diana, the main antagonist in NBC's science fiction series V between 1983 and 1985. Badler also appeared in ABC's version of V in 2011, again playing an alien named Diana, who this time is the mother of the series' chief antagonist, Anna. Badler has also become an established nightclub singer in Australia, where she lives, and has released three albums.

Early life and education
Badler was born in Brooklyn, New York. Her family is Jewish. Badler spent her teen years in Great Neck, New York, moving to Manchester, New Hampshire, when she was in high school. When Badler was 18, her father and brother were killed in a plane crash.

Badler won the title Miss New Hampshire and competed at the 1973 Miss America Pageant. Subsequently, she enrolled at Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois, to study drama.

Career

Film career
Badler's first television role was Melinda Cramer Janssen on the American daytime soap opera One Life to Live, which she played from 1977 to 1981 and again in 1983. During her run, she also appeared in a 1979 episode of the primetime series Fantasy Island. Badler also starred on the daytime soap opera The Doctors as Natalie Bell from 1981 to 1982.

Badler then won her most prominent role, that of the villainous alien Diana in the NBC sci-fi miniseries V (1983). She reprised the role in the sequel miniseries V: The Final Battle (1984) and again on V: The Series, which ran for one season from 1984 to 1985.

Following V, Badler co-starred with José Ferrer in the made-for-TV supernatural thriller Covenant. The following year she guest-starred as Meredith Braxton throughout the 1986–87 season of the CBS primetime soap opera Falcon Crest. Her other guest appearances during the 1980s included Riptide, Hotel and Murder, She Wrote. In 1987, she played the role of Tania Winthrop in the short-lived action-adventure series The Highwayman. She then traveled to Australia to play agent Shannon Reed in the 1980s revival of Mission: Impossible, joining the series midway through its first season (replacing actress Terry Markwell, and her character of Casey Randall); then stayed with the series for its second season before it was cancelled in early 1990. After the series ended, Badler moved to Australia permanently and married businessman Stephen Hains. They have two sons, Sam and Harry. She later appeared in the role of Mrs Peacock on the Australian game show Cluedo from 1992 to 1993, and had a guest-starring role in Snowy River: The McGregor Saga in 1995.

In March 2010, Badler was cast as the villainous Diana Marshall in the Australian soap opera Neighbours. She had a four-month guest contract with the show.

A remake of V premiered in late 2009, and although this version did not include the character of Diana, the series' executive producer, Scott Peters, suggested that Badler and other stars from the original version may be offered guest roles as new characters. In August 2010, it was announced that Badler would be joining the series as a new version of Diana, the mother of the Visitors' evil leader Anna (Morena Baccarin). Badler appeared in nine of the second season's ten episodes, commencing in January 2011. In the second-season finale, her character was killed by Anna, and ABC decided to not renew the series for a third season.

In November 2020 Badler played Lauren Balmer in the horror film Surrogate. The film will be released internationally in September 2022.

Music and theatre career
Already an able singer when she competed in the Miss New Hampshire and Miss America Pageants, Badler forged a career in cabaret and on the stage in the 2005 Magnormos production of archy & mehitabel, based on Don Marquis's books of poetry. She also appeared in Sextet, Big Hair in America, and with acclaimed Australian director Robert Chuter (who also directed two of her cabaret shows in 2000) she appeared in The Singing Forest, The Great Gatsby and her one-woman show Shakin' the Blues Away in which she also sang. Other productions in which she appeared for Magnormos included a concert of the musical Rebecca and OzMade Musicals.

Badler released her debut album (backed by the Melbourne-based band Sir) on June 1, 2008. Titled The Devil Has My Double, it is an autobiographical album which has been described as "a compulsive mix of fame, sex and solitude, set to a sweeping soundtrack of cold soul and passionate synthetics". As part of promotion for the album, she gave an extensive interview about her work to the Boxcutters podcast.

Badler released her second album, Tears Again, in 2011. She then teamed up with Australian musicians Matt Doll and Byron St John to co-write her third album, Opus, which was released in September 2014.

Personal life
Badler married Australian businessman Stephen Hains in 1990. The couple met while she was filming Mission Impossible in Australia. Badler remained in Australia and the couple reside in Melbourne. They have two children.

On January 7, 2020, Badler announced that her 27-year-old son, actor Harry Hains, died of a fentanyl overdose following a battle with "mental illness, chronic sleeping disorders, and addiction".

I was recently laid off from my corporate job of 10 years, and am being very frugal while I look for another position. In the meantime, my adult daughter says I should just live with her. She is married and has two young children. Should I give up my home? At 57, I've always been financially independent and I'm a bit offended, though I recognize her concern.
Hmmm, two young children, huh? Free babysitting? Does she want you to trade your independence so she can have a little more free time? Clearly, I'm a bit cynical, but the offer – as seen from her side – might feel like a win-win situation for both of you, offering you a financial boost and allowing you to have a closer relationship with your grandchildren while giving her a bit of freedom. It does seem like she hasn't spoken to any friends whose mothers or mothers-in-law have moved in "temporarily".
A good friend of mine moved in to help out her daughter and save some money and left after a month with the realization that she really didn't like her grandchildren after all. If you are broke, and willing to risk major relationship issues reemerging—she was a teenager once, I'm assuming—go for it. Just set clear limits and boundaries. On the other hand, she may just be trying to get you moving on your job search.

Who is Beto O'Rourke? Get to know the 2020 presidential candidate
As an even larger national audience is introduced to Beto O'Rourke, here's what you need to know.
Who is Beto O'Rourke? Get to know the 2020 presidential candidate As an even larger national audience is introduced to Beto O'Rourke, here's what you need to know. Check out this story on gosanangelo.com: https://www.elpasotimes.com/story/news/2019/02/28/beto-o-rourke-running-for-president-2020-candidates/2988336002/
El Paso Times Published 8:17 a.m. CT Feb. 28, 2019 | Updated 12:38 p.m. CT March 30, 2019
When Beto O'Rourke decided to challenge U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas, few people outside his hometown of El Paso knew his name.
But during the November 2016 midterm elections, he built a national profile with bold positions, relentless campaigning, and continuous livestreams of his travels on Facebook — that launched several viral moments and helped lay the groundwork for a presidential bid.
Although he eventually lost his long-shot bid in Texas, he came within 3 percentage points of becoming the first Democrat to win a statewide election since 1994, when Bob Bullock was re-elected as lieutenant governor.
O'Rourke's unconventional style made waves and he says it helped him make personal connections with voters. He didn't hire a political consultant or a pollster and he refused to accept money from political action committees, but still shattered fund-raising records. As an even larger national audience is introduced to O'Rourke, here's what they need to know — about his political background, his stances on key issues, and his dietary preferences.
Who is Beto O'Rourke?
His band, famous friends
While on breaks from school In the 1990s, he got involved in El Paso's punk scene and played bass in the punk rock band Foss with Cedric Bixler-Zavala, who would go on to found At-the-Drive-In and the Mars Volta.

Maybe Beto can't debate Ted Cruz because he already had plans... pic.twitter.com/LdqKTh3yK4
— Texas GOP (@TexasGOP) August 28, 2018
The band toured during his summer breaks from Columbia, and a picture of O'Rourke with his band became fodder for the Texas GOP during the Senate campaign.
BETO'S NICKNAME: Beto O'Rourke's family has always called him 'Beto.' Here's why.
Beto O'Rourke's wife, children
O'Rourke married his wife, Amy, in 2005 and they have three young children: Ulysses, Molly and Henry. Amy O'Rourke, who is nine years younger than Beto O'Rourke, is the daughter of William "Bill" Sanders, a real estate mogul whose net worth was estimated at about $500 million by Forbes magazine.
O'Rourke's parents, siblings
O'Rourke followed his father into politics. Patrick Francis O'Rourke served as a county commissioner and county judge in El Paso. He was elected as a Democrat, but in the late 1990s, he ran an unsuccessful race to reclaim the county judge spot as a Republican. He died in an accident in 2001, when a car struck his recumbent bicycle.

O'Rourke's mother, Melissa, operated three furniture stores in El Paso, but announced the closure of the last one, Charlotte's Furniture, in 2017. The announcement came after her son had launched his Senate campaign, but she said at the time that her decision was unrelated. "For me, it's my personal life," she said. "I'm just ready to call it."O'Rourke is the oldest of three children. His two sisters are Erin and Charlotte.
Know your Beto memes
O'Rourke became Internet famous even before officially announcing his Senate run when he and Republican lawmaker streamed their drive to Washington, D.C., via Facebook. O'Rourke's fame only grew as he had dozens of meme-able moments throughout the campaign. Here are some of the highlights:

BETO'S RESUME
In business before politics, education
Before he got into politics, he founded a web development firm, called Stanton Street, based in El Paso. The company started in 1999 and is still operating. Stanton Street was also the name of O'Rourke's short-lived online, and briefly print, alternative newspaper.

He returned to El Paso after graduating from New York's Columbia University in 1995 with a bachelor's degree in English. He attended El Paso High School in El Paso, but graduated from a prestigious boarding school in Virginia, Woodberry Forest School.
Beto's time on the El Paso City Council
Before running for Congress, O'Rourke served on El Paso's City Council from 2005 to 2011. When he was first elected, O'Rourke told the El Paso Times that he was focused on neighborhood improvements, such as funding parks and repairing streetlights. But soon he was tackling a number of much larger issues, some with national implications.
Background in Congress
O'Rourke was the U.S. representative for the 16th Congressional District in El Paso, Texas, through 2018. The district covers El Paso County and includes the city of El Paso, Horizon City and Fort Bliss, a U.S. Army post. O'Rourke was elected to the seat in 2012, after defeating incumbent U.S. Rep. Silvestre Reyes in the Democratic primary. He beat Reyes, who had held the seat for 16 years, with 50.47 percent of the vote.

Beto rally
Beto O'Rourke did not announce whether he would run for president at a protest in El Paso on February 11, but that didn't stop attendees from treating the event like a campaign rally for their former congressman.
The protest, aimed at countering President Donald Trump's event in El Paso on the same night, had all the trappings of a campaign rally and vendors urged attendees to purchase "Beto 2020" buttons, hats, T-shirts and flags outside the event.

Beto 2020 ... It's official

BETO'S POLICIES
Beto O'Rourke has been called both too liberal by the right and too conservative by the left. Read a roundup of his policies and the criticisms.
During his three terms in Congress, O'Rourke emerged as a leader in Texas on veterans issues.

Controversy over use of eminent domain
In 2006, he drew criticism over a Downtown redevelopment plan that involved his father-in-law, Bill Sanders. O'Rourke eventually recused himself from all votes and the plan was never implemented, but his initial consideration for use of eminent domain to seize property drew lawsuits and came up during the 2018 Senate race.

However, it did not appear to affect him with his constituents. In 2007, one year after the plan was proposed, O'Rourke won re-election to his council seat with 69 percent of the vote.
Also in 2009, O'Rourke became an early voice to consider the legalization of marijuana. That period marked one of the most violent eras in Juarez, Mexico, just across the border from El Paso. As the cartel war raged, O'Rourke introduced a City Council resolution urging Congress to seriously debate the legalization of drugs, in particular marijuana. The non-binding resolution passed unanimously, but it was vetoed by then-Mayor John Cook and derided by then-Congressman Reyes. Reyes warned such a position could threaten federal funding for the city. El Paso's state legislators also opposed the resolution. Four city representatives reversed their vote after the veto, and the resolution failed.

"It's a sad day in America when you are threatened by wanting to have an open debate on an issue that is affecting our country and our region," O'Rourke said at the time.
He and a fellow city representative, Susie Byrd, would go on to publish a book in 2011 about the effects of the drug war, "Dealing Death and Drugs: The Big Business of Dope in the U.S. and Mexico."
Same-sex benefits for city employees
O'Rourke also was a vocal supporter of extending health benefits to unmarried domestic partners of city employees, including same-sex couples. The council approved the health benefits as part of the 2009 budget, and religious groups spent years fighting the policy. O'Rourke left the City Council to run for Congress, but two of his fellow representatives and the mayor faced recall elections over the policy.
