HMS Caledonia was a broadside ironclad of the . Originally laid down as a two-decker steam ship of the line of the Bulwark class, Caledonia was converted on the building stocks into an armoured frigate.

Service history
HMS Caledonia was not completed until July 1865 due to a delay in the delivery of her main armament. Once this was installed, she was commissioned as Second-in-Command of the Mediterranean Fleet, becoming the first ever armoured flagship of the Royal Navy.

She was temporarily withdrawn from service in 1866 for reconstruction which involved the addition of a poop deck. Following this, she was flagship of the Channel Fleet until 1867, when she was paid off for re-armament.

HMS Caledonia was flagship of the Mediterranean Fleet until 1869 (relieving , the last three-deck Royal Navy flagship) until 1872. In July 1871, she ran aground off Santorini, Greece. She was later refloated and taken in to Malta for repairs. She was a guardship in the Firth of Forth from 1872 until 1875. On 15 June 1873, Caledonia was in collision with the British ship Hogton Tower off St. Alban's Head, Dorset. Hogton Tower was severely damaged at the bows; Caledonia towed her in to Spithead, Hampshire. Caledonia had been serving as a Coastguard vessel at Birkenhead, Cheshire and was sailing to Portsmouth, Hampshire for a forthcoming inspection of the fleet by the Shah of Persia. She was paid off at Plymouth, and was laid up there until she was sold on 30 September 1886.

Reflecting upon Maimonides' timeless wisdom, we must have the intellectual fortitude to contemplate, with candor, from a non-Muslim perspective, whether Islamic jihadism and "madness"/"madmen" may interact in a complementary, even synergistic manner.
At 2:45 p.m., Saturday, December 20, 2014, Ismaaiyl Abdullah Brinsley approached two people on a street in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn. After requesting that they follow him on Instagram, he told them, "Watch what I'm going to do." Within 2 minutes, at 2:47 p.m., Brinsley reached the passenger window of a marked police car, and fired a lethal barrage at the heads of Officers Rafael Ramos and Wenjian Liu. Fleeing into a nearby subway station, pursued by police officers, Ismaaiyl Brinsley stopped, and shot himself, fatally, in the head.
Immediate post-mortem accounts riveted, appropriately, on Brinsley's history of mental illness, personal failure, and paroxysms of violent anger—he even wounded his Baltimore area girlfriend, just before departing by bus for New York City, that fateful Saturday morning. However, by Saturday, Brinsley had focused his vengeful rage on the recent deaths of Eric Garner in Staten Island, N.Y., and Michael Brown in Ferguson, Mo. According to the now rigidly enforced narrative, Brinsley executed Officers Rafael Ramos and Wenjian Liu in cold blood due, solely, to his warped perception of their "shared culpability" in the tragic deaths of Garner and Brown.
If you can kill a disbelieving American or European – especially the spiteful and filthy French – or an Australian, or a Canadian, or any other disbeliever from the disbelievers waging war, including the citizens of the countries that entered into a coalition against the Islamic State, then rely upon Allah, and kill him in any manner or way however it may be. Do not ask for anyone's advice and do not seek anyone's verdict. Kill the disbeliever whether he is civilian or military, for they have the same ruling. Both of them are disbelievers. Both of them are considered to be waging war [the civilian by belonging to a state waging war against the Muslims]. Both of their blood and wealth is legal for you to destroy, for blood does not become illegal or legal to spill by the clothes being worn.
Strike their police, security, and intelligence members, as well as their treacherous agents. Destroy their beds. Embitter their lives for them and busy them with themselves.
Indeed the same day (12/20/14) Ismaaiyl Abdullah Brinsley committed his execution-style murder of two policemen in Brooklyn, a French convert to Islam, Bertrand Nzohabonayo (aka "Bilal"), entered a police station in Joué-lès-Tours, central France, and shouted "Allahu Akbar"—"Allah is greater"—a jihadist war cry dating from its declaration by Islam's prophet Muhammad as he made a murderous foray against the Jews of the Khaybar oasis (allegedly in 629 C.E.). Nzohabonayo/"Bilal," who had earlier in the week updated his Facebook page profile with a photo of the black flag of the Islamic State, proceeded to stab three police officers, before he was shot and killed. Investigators subsequently maintained this ostensible "lone wolf" jihadist supported the Islamic State.
On September 23, 2014, a day after al-Adnani's ISIS invocation for jihad terror attacks in the West was published, Abdul Numan Haider, an 18 year-old Afghan Muslim immigrant to Australia, was shot dead after stabbing two Melbourne policemen with a small knife. A search of Haider's body revealed an additional larger knife, and an ISIS flag. Police investigators believed that Haider had intended to behead the officers, drape their bodies in the ISIS flag, and then photograph the grisly images for internet posting—all in accord with ISIS instructions for jihadists.
America's military is strong abroad, but they have never faced an internal mass revolt. They are weaker at home. We are scattered and decentralized, we can use this as an advantage. Helicopters, big military will be useless on their own soil. They will not be able to defeat our people if we use guerilla warfare. Attack their weak flanks . . . If you get wounded who cares. If you die who cares. Eventually they will surrender and then the war will be over.
It appears that this [jihadist attack] is something he has been thinking about for some time.
Although till now almost entirely ignored, Ismaaiyl Abdullah Brinsley's Muslim background may also prove relevant, and must be examined. For example, Brinsley's potential association with the notorious jihadist hotbed al-Farooq mosque in Brooklyn most assuredly needs to be clarified. Another important, and perhaps related line of investigation should explore why Brinsley highlighted an image of Koran sura (chapter) 8, verse 60—one of several Koranic exhortations sanctioning jihad terror—at his Facebook page.
The texts in Islam distinguish themselves from the texts of other religions by encouraging violence and aggression against people with other religious beliefs to a larger degree [emphasis added]. There are also straightforward calls for terror. This has long been a taboo in the research into Islam, but it is a fact that we need to deal with.
In the formation and equipping of the country's defence forces, due attention must be paid to faith and ideology as the basic criteria. Accordingly, the Army of the Islamic Republic of Iran and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps are to be organized in conformity with this goal, and they will be responsible not only for guarding and preserving the frontiers of the country, but also for fulfilling the ideological mission of jihad in God's way; that is, extending the sovereignty of Allah's law throughout the world (this is in accordance with the Koranic verse "Prepare against them whatever force you are able to muster, and strings of horses, striking fear into the enemy of Allah and your enemy, and others besides them" [8:60]).
"Let not the Unbelievers think," God commands us directly and pointedly, "that they can get the better of the Godly: they will never frustrate them. Against them make ready your strength to the utmost of your power, including steeds of war, to strike terror into the hearts of the enemies of Allah and your enemies, and others besides, whom ye may not know, but whom Allah doth know." (Anfal [sura 8]: 59–60)…Terror struck into the hearts of the enemies is not only a means, it is the end in itself. Once a condition of terror into the opponent's heart is obtained, hardly anything is left to be achieved. It is the point where the means and the end meet and merge. Terror is not a means of imposing decision upon the enemy (sic); it is the decision we wish to impose upon him… "Jehad," [Jihad] the Quranic concept of total strategy. Demands the preparation and application of total national power and military instrument is one of its elements. As a component of the total strategy, the military strategy aims at striking terror into the hearts of the enemy from the preparatory stage of war…Under ideal conditions, Jehad can produce a direct decision and force its will upon the enemy. Where that does not happen, military strategy should take over and aim at producing the decision from the military stage. Should that chance be missed, terror should be struck into the enemy during the actual fighting. …the Book [Quran] does not visualize war being waged with "kid gloves." It gives us a distinctive concept of total war. It wants both, the nation and the individual, to be at war "in toto," that is, with all their spiritual, moral, and physical resources. The Holy Quran lays the highest emphasis on the preparation for war. It wants us to prepare ourselves for war to the utmost. The test of utmost preparation lies in our capability to instill terror into the hearts of the enemies.

Certain individuals associated with Masjid At Taqwa have historical ties to [jihad] terrorism. The mosque's Imam, Siraj Wahhaj, was named by the US Attorney for the Southern District of New York as an unindicted co-conspirator in a plot to bomb a number of New York City landmarks in the mid-1990s (the "Landmarks Plot"). Omar Abdel Rahman, known as the "Blind Sheikh," who is serving a life sentence in federal prison for his role in the Landmarks Plot, lectured at Masjid At Taqwa. Wahhaj testified as a character witness for Abdel Rahman during Abdel Rahman's terrorism trial. Wahhaj also testified as a character witness for Clement Hampton El, a Masjid At Taqwa attendee who was convicted as one of the Blind Sheikh's coconspirators in the Landmarks Plot.
Members of the mosque's security team have instructed individuals on how to disarm police officers and have led martial arts classes involving individuals convicted on terrorism charges. Since at least 2003, Masjid At Taqwa members have participated in and sponsored paintball exercises and survival training outside New York City, activities which have been carried out for training purposes by violent extremists in multiple terrorism cases in the United States and abroad-such as the "Virginia Jihad" case, the Fort Dix plot, the 717 attacks in London, and the UK fertilizer bomb plot ("Operation Awakening"). On one of these outings, the leader of Masjid At Taqwa's security team instructed the members of his paintball team to "form up, jihad assassins" and called them his 'Jihad warriors". Farooque Ahmed, who is currently incarcerated after pleading guilty to terrorism charges in connection with a plot to bomb the Washington, DC metro, promoted and participated in at least one of these trips.

McDonald's old employee is buying a & # 39; first home & # 39; after 14 possessions
February 9, 2019 australia Comments Off on McDonald's old employee is buying a & # 39; first home & # 39; after 14 possessions
Ultimately Eddie Dilleen has been trying to get her & # 39; thousand years brothers to buy their first home. He only gave 14 property possession.
The 27-year-old property mogul bought his first rent – a $ 138,000 unit on the NSW Central Coast – at the age of 19 & while he was still working at $ 500 a week working at McDonald's, had been saved through the high school to invest $ 20,000.
In the last eight years, because house prices in Sydney and Melbourne were in a hurry, coming from behind a tsunami of free credit and population growth registration, and Many young people from home ownership, Mr Dilleen's grandchildren, locked up two major domestic housing markets.
Instead, he organized property ownership in cheaper markets such as Adelaide, Gold Gold and Brisbane outside, and utilizing fairness in each new building to provide funding for the next – A common but dangerous strategy is surrounded by some as "Ponzi mortgage finance".
Today, Mr Dilleen's valuation is worth $ 4 million and includes an annual rent of around $ 230,000. His total mortgages come to "just over" $ 2 million with an annual reimbursement of around $ 90,000. Fees, repairs and other charges will cost around $ 60,000 annually.
"Maybe I could go into the market much faster than I'd like to be," he said.
"I have just been renting how I was building my appendix, trying to build my fairness with small buildings, access to metro areas and how One day I could give me a better place in Sydney.
"You do not have to buy 14 small possessions in other capital cities to (buy your first home), just what I have chosen was because I always had a & # 39; Buildings enjoy and develop a strategy for doing so over time. "
House prices have fallen by 12.3 per cent and 8.7 per cent from their peaks in July and November 2017, which marked the worst decline since at least the 1980s.
For Mr Dilleen, prices are suffering from & # 39; means opportunity. This week he set up the "emergency sale" six bedrooms in the Parramatta area for $ 750,000, which dropped $ 130,000 to her; The first price was $ 880,000.
Years ago, a comparative house in the area was sold for just under $ 1 million. "Many people can not get money. The emergency owners did not sell it, it's been a long time ago and they have to get rid of it," he said.
"They were willing to get on the price. The market has not been overwhelmed last year last year, and prices have come down a bit. It needs a bit of work, a bit of paint and landscapes. It's not the dream house but it's better than renting. "
He thought he sold "five or six" of his features so he could buy the Parramatta house completely but instead went to a $ 580,000 loan. "I've been thinking about cutting some of the fat and selling some of the buildings, but not the most important thing I have," said e.
"The biggest thing that is trying to build my sustainable income over time."
Mr Dilleen said that his "airport" in fact had not been damaged by the crash because the property prices were " Falling mostly in Sydney and Melbourne. "I may be buying in Sydney for investment within the next year or so once the market is going to sink".
But he has noticed the impact of the Australian banking crisis. "It's harder to get money for buildings, it will take a lot longer. Instead of two weeks it may get three or four weeks to get agreed."
Its strategy for purchasing buildings, some of them has been "doubling and a problem of value", which has never been to look for rent lease. The "majority" is a good promise, which means that the rent is & # 39; cover mortgage repayments.
Mr Dilleen said that, because of the fact that rates needed to be interested in, hit "about 8-9 percent" before growing it could not change its loans. The normal normal variable rate for the principle and interest that is currently paying for 4.85 per cent, according to Canstar.
This Reserve Reserve this week made amazing markets by opening the door for higher level cuts, and # 39; including that the economy could be weaker than expected. It came after the RBA had the cash level of its 1.5 per cent low chart for the 30th consecutive month.
BLACKLISTS AND BARGAINS
Despite fear that is Following a full-bleaching housing accident, RiskWise says there are still enough opportunities to make a bargain. The property research company this week identified the top 10 "highest risk zones" as well as areas built for capital growth.
There are eight of the top 10 best cities to buy in Queensland, with the other two in Victoria just north of Geelong. The towns were the most dangerous areas that were inside the city; a town where rooms are sold unpaid.
"The key message that people need to be true, very well-off where they buy," said RiskWise chief executive, Doron Peleg. "The number of opportunities is limited, and in general the rule is obviously focusing on houses and not on units."
Mr Peleg said that most of the smaller towns were within 100 kilometers of the capital city and public transport was good and road infrastructure, and meant that there was travel into work "not too much".
These towns would still receive a "strong demand" even with the loan lending and a lower loan capacity, he said, a & # 39; Existing capital growth even though the Labor won the next election and made changes to negative taxes and capital gains.
He has two choices in Geelong, Norlane and Lovely Banks, with a fair price of $ 370, 931 and $ 455,868. The two towns are at risk of a 26 per cent capital growth in the last 12 months, which lost to & # 39; movement.
There is a 13 per cent capital growth in the coastal coast of the Coast, 67 kilometers from the Brisbane CBD, such as the towns of the West Mount Ommaney and Sinnamon Park, just just 14 kilometers from Brisbane.
Gaven Gold's highway Gaven has a 12 per cent capital and is close to the M1 and train stations. Also included in the list were northern towns in Brisbane of Gordon Park and Stafford Heights.
Further north of Sunshine Coast, RiskWise says that the Doonan and Twin Waters towns are good. Despite being closer to Brisbane, the area is very advanced and has been the destination of choice for international immigrants from Sydney and Melbourne.
Mr Peleg said the biggest risk zones on bankruptcy on "blacklist lenders" was very dangerous, and # 39; meant that there would be a "huge obstacle to entering the market, at least 30".
"Undertake independent research and find more grants," he said. "If you are an unidentified investor, do not buy the plan in a risk specification. If you have $ 500,000 and if you want to reduce the risk, you are much better at targeting on existing houses in one of those areas (bargain). "

Birdman's MRI Results Come Back Clean, Dodgers Relieved
The Dodgers and their fans breathed a collective sigh of relief on Monday afternoon, after Birdman Zack Greinke's MRI results came back clean. The former CY Young award winner began experiencing stiffness in the back of his right elbow on March 3. Greinke missed a bullpen session because of the injury ten days ago, and then missed a start five days ago. Finally he was scratched from his scheduled start this afternoon, and was ordered to fly to Los Angeles to have his right elbow examined by team physician Dr. Neal ElAttrache.
Greinke recieved an injection and should be back on the mpund in a few days.-Jake Roth-USA TODAY Sports
The MRI results confirmed what previous MRI results from ten days ago also confirmed. Greinke's elbow is just fine. There is no structural or ligament damage of any kind. The diagnosis at the moment is just general soreness. Hey it happens right? Greinke was given a Platelet injection and told to rest his right elbow. He will begin throwing again in two to three days.
Greinke has said that he dealt with elbow issues in the past, but that it's never kept him from a regular season start before. The right hander is scheduled to start on April second, the day after opening day against the evil Giants. Hopefully this doesn't affect that expected start. Even so we do still have the surplus of starters, just in case.
Greinke has always been extremely durable over the years. He has never missed time for an arm problem. The only time he has ever missed any kind of time at all, was when he hurt himself playing Basketball during one off-season a couple of years ago. Birdman has pitched 200 or more innings in four of the last five seasons.
We are all very happy to hear the good news, but Greinke's condition is still concerning. He hasn't pitched much at all this spring. Greinke has only made two starts, pitching five innings. Meanwhile, Hyun-jin Ryu made the start in his place, and pitched four innings of work this afternoon against the Brewers at Maryvale Park.


It has happened again and it was an extraordinary reunion shooting new episodes of Twin Peaks with David Lynch, Carel Struycken reveals in a Dutch interview with fd.nl.
SPOILER ALERT: In the following quote, Carel Struycken reveals the number of scenes he filmed as well as his estimated screen time.
I didn't get to read the script, and hardly any lines were written down for my four scenes. I have less screen time than I had twenty-five years ago, but I'm important for the development of the story.
A David Lynch fan since Blue Velvet, Carel Struycken confirms that the director's M.O. hasn't changed since the last time they worked together; he's a master at creating a special atmosphere on set and always open to adding new elements on the spot. Even Lynch himself doesn't always know where things are headed. But Carel believes that at the end of the ride, the puzzle pieces will all fit together.
LESS screen time? Although significant and memorable, he didn't log much time in the first incarnation.
Four scenes? One is the beginning, two/three are in ep. 8, so we haven't see them all, but he does have so little time left!

In my business I deal with a lot of sensitive information such as social security numbers, birth dates, health histories, etc. Almost all of this is on paper and I must ensure the security of all information. TITAN has been a terrific service and convenience for my office. I know that all of my recycling is kept locked and secured. Once I toss that paper into the locked bin, I'm done with it. TITAN comes in and picks up everything and then gives me a certificate stating that everything has been properly shredded and destroyed. Thank you, Titan!
We like that you follow the schedule of pick-ups and are very reliable. We like that you have friendly staff and most of all, we like that the staff knows where all the bins are and we don't have to show them around each time because it's the same driver all the time. Thank you for your dependable service!
Just a note to say thank you for continuing to provide superior service for our shredding needs. We produce a fair amount of paper that is sensitive client information. It is comforting to know that you take care of destroying all of this material right here at our office. We appreciate your prompt and courteous service and would highly recommend you to anyone in need of this critical service. Thanks again!
Titan's shredding service is of the highest quality. They are prompt, professional and responsive to our every call and we rely upon their services.
We have been using Titan for a couple of years as our shredding company of choice. They have done a great job for us and have always been very attentive to our needs. We generate a large volume of very sensitive documents that need to comply with the privacy acts on a daily basis & Titan has assisted us with that compliance. They make it very easy & cost effective to properly destroy all of the sensitive information including all customer & employee information & very important financial information. They helped us properly locate the bins for easy disposal and all of them are locked for security. I would not hesitate to recommend Titan to any company especially automotive dealerships who generate a ton of very important & sensitive documents on a daily basis as their shredding partner.
Our Titan technician Mike called, as requested, to let us know he was on his way. When he arrived, he immediately started working and helped in every way shape and form to get in and out as fast as possible.
Courteous, polite well mannered, and a great representative for your company. I cannot say enough good things about the way our shredding is handled. There is not any way possible he could have been any more efficient than he was. This is Mike's third visit here and we have received the same service every time – EXCELLENT!
Titan's service is impeccable! From the very beginning we have received nothing but prompt, courteous service. They are the "best of the best" when it comes to shredding services and procedures. We currently utilize Titan for both community shredding events, as well as monthly pick-up services and couldn't have asked for a better company to handle our sensitive member information (they're NAID AAA Certified too!). Now, I'm a marketer….so this may sound made up, but it's really not!
Lehigh Valley Financial Group, Inc.
TITAN's service has been great for our office. Everyone I have dealt with from your company has been very professional and accommodating. I particularly like the flexibility you provide as far as how often we need our bins emptied since it varies greatly in our office. I look forward to a long relationship with TITAN Shredding.
I was given the responsibility of closing an office that has been active for the last 56 years. We never threw anything out and needless to say there was a ton of paper to get rid of. I contacted Titan and talked to Danielle about our issues. She assured me that they could take care of everything. Working with Titan has been wonderful, from the initial call to Danielle to the service technicians on the truck, Mike and John. Their level of customer service is exceptional! I would highly recommend Titan Mobile Shredding to anyone that needs to dispose of sensitive material in a quick and efficient manner.
You and your staff were a delight to work with. Fast, easy and efficient. We will be in touch again for sure. Thanks for everything!

This year we awarded three First class degrees. Compared to 2013 – a bumper year of 10 Firsts – this may seem meagre but compared to 2006 (when there were none) and 2008 and 2009 (when there were two in each year) 2014 is an average year. The usual suspects – Hong Kong and Malaysia – are absent from this year's roll call but there are some new records to celebrate.
examinations. Stefan scored the highest single mark among this year's Firsts; 79% for the Dissertation.
Congratulations to all three of this year's Firsts and to all who have achieved an award this year.
This is incredibly wonderful. Though am not amongst this batch of students graduating on first, UoL has given me a comprehensive understanding of the law over the last three years. Looking forward though to where my fate lies tomorrow.
This is quite inspiring for all the future law students! Cheers for them!

Q: How make all assets of a HTML page update I'm maintaining some static HTML/CSS websites, the problem is, when some images or stylesheets are changed. Some of the users still get the old version from cache served to them, Since we cannot manually instruct everybody to press ctrl+f5.
How can I instruct the browser that we have updated the pages to a new version, and to reload all resources.

A: If you are able to run a .htaccess file
Disable caching for certain file type
<FilesMatch ".(css|js|jpg|png)$">
    Header unset Cache-Control
</FilesMatch>

Or you could do this in HTML <head>

Leiden Yemeni manuscripts now digitally available
Samedi 19 Septembre 2020 - 12:15
http://cefas.cnrs.fr/spip.php?page=backend&lang=fr
CEFREPA (Péninsule arabique)
https://cefas.cnrs.fr/spip.php?article805
Leiden University Libraries (UBL) recently digitized circa 150 Yemeni manuscripts and has made them freely available for research and education. The manuscripts, dating from the seventeenth to the twentieth century, were digitized as part of the Zaydi Manuscript Tradition project. Yemen has been marked by conflict in the past few years. Through this digitization project, these manuscripts are now freely available at a time when Yemen's rich literary heritage is under ever-increasing pressure.
- *The Zaydi Manuscript Tradition project*
The extraordinarily rich and unique literary tradition of the Zaydi Shii Muslims, which has been flourishing in Yemen for over seven hundred years, is under serious pressure. Extremist groups and indiscriminate bombardments are destroying many of the unique manuscript collections gathered over more than seven hundred years through intensive cultural exchange on the Arabian Peninsula and far beyond. Many of these manuscripts were scattered in over different continents in the last few hundred years. The Leiden Special Collections hold circa 150 of these manuscripts. In 2017, Professor Sabine Schmidtke (Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton) received a grant for the digitization of the Leiden manuscripts and many others in Western and Arabic collections in the /Zaydi Manuscript Tradition/ project <https://www.ias.edu/idea/2017/schmi...> . The Leiden Zaydi manuscripts will soon be available through the /Zaydi Manuscript Tradition project/'s platform but are already available through the UBL Digital Collections <https://digitalcollections.universi...> .
- *Digitization and conservation*
The Zaydi Manuscript Tradition project was not only a chance for the UBL to make an important part of our Middle Eastern manuscript collections available for remote research, education and the general public, but also an opportunity to look at the state of conservation of the manuscripts. Karin Scheper, conservator at UBL, subjected every manuscript slated for digitization to rigorous inspection. She wrote about some of her findings regarding one manuscript in the Leiden Special Collections <https://leidenspecialcollectionsblo...> blog.
- *Yemeni manuscripts in the Leiden Special Collections*
The Yemeni manuscripts in the Leiden Special Collections came to Leiden in two distinct stages. The first part of the collection to come to Leiden was collected by Cornelis Adriaanse (1896–1964), Dutch consul in Jeddah, who travelled to Yemen several times in the 1930s to sign a declaration of friendship and co-operation with the ruler of Yemen, Imam al-Mutawakkil Yahya. In the years following his visits, the manuscripts came to Leiden via Christiaan Snouck Hurgronje (1857 – 1936). The second part of the collection only came to Leiden around the last turn of the century, through contacts of former curator Professor Jan Just Witkam. Manuscripts from this collection date between 1632 and 1941 and cover an impressive range of subjects, from language, literature and history to religion and Islamic Law.

Welcome to the forums elmtree! It isn't quite as active as it used to be but nevertheless there is a lot to read about.
I don't understand why you would think Fred's son would of been any different than any others just because he was famous.
I think some people may have expected Fred's son to be similar to Fred, and not the rebelious type. What we don't know if he Fred's son was just the typical teenager, or if his rebellion went beyond that.
In real life he did have constant battles with his son (maybe son(s) plural) in the mid 70s. I can't remember which one but one of them was a rebellious teenager. Not something that you would expect Fred to have to deal with; however, for who he was and stood for I guess there would be a higher percentage for his own children to have problems. Much like how a pastor's children tend get into trouble. I could probably imagine his children probably got teased to death. I imagine Fred probably carried a burden that if he couldn't take care of his own children how is he suppose to be the man that he was. From a historical perspective, I think history will override his family issues and will still carry the stance that he cared for children through the tv medium. In my opinion, during the 1979-2001 era of MRN, I think you can tell that he shows more confidence in what he is doing.
I was thinking about this and while it's obvious that the Rogers family was like anyone elses but I wonder what it was like for both sons to have grown up with their dad being who he was?
I remember seeing an online with Bob McGrath who of course in Bob on Sesame Street and discuss when that the show began some of his older children felt funny about their father starring in this bran new show.
Both of Fred's sons probably had some of the same difficulty especially in their teen years in which seems to as even Fed himself said in an interview is probably rough for everyone and he himself had a lot of difficulty.
And even if it was both John and James' decision to make appearances on their dad's show I wonder if they later felt odd about it later on?
But another thing I wonder is about how he and Joanne brought them up?
Because he had been so critical all of his adult life about TV which is how he got into it in the first place and probably had various feelings about the movie and music industry.
I wonder kind of rules they both had on what the kids could see and listen to?
Besides feeling insecure about their famous father.
There really has not been much said at all about Fred's sons. They seem to be living private lives outside of the spotlight, which is fine. There was that one article from the 70s that mentioned them being rebellious, but we have no idea whether that was typical teenage rebellion, or something more. Betty once posted here that Fred's sons suffered because of Fred. But she no longer posts here so I doubt that we will get an ellaboration on what she meant. I don't know if Fred's sons ever directly told anything to Betty (in which case they may have told her in confidence) or if Betty was just speculating. Another thing that is interesting is that Betty pointed out that Fred often talked about his grandfather Fred McFeely, but never about his parents. I don't know what kind of relationship Fred had with his parents. The song "Wishes Don't Make Things Come True" implies that he may have had a rough relationship with his parents.

The Do-it-Yourself Gamer
The Launch of the Nintendo 64 (1996)
Author Chris Alaimo Date May 27, 2017
Episode 46 – Although the history of 3D gaming stretches all the way back to the very early 1980's, outside of the arcades it didn't start in earnest until the early 90s. The 3DO Interactive Mulitplayer and Atari Jaguar both launched in 1993, Nintendo used the Super FX chip to create polygonal 3D games like Star Fox and Stunt Race FX on the Super Nintendo, while Sega used the SVP chip to create a home port of arcade hit Virtua Racing on the Genesis. In 1993, Nintendo partnered with Silicon Graphics to develop their next-generation hardware, while in 1995, the release of both the Sega Saturn and Sony Playstation signaled the "real" beginning of home 3D gaming. After numerous delays, Nintendo finally joined the next generation of consoles, as the Nintendo 64 was launched in Japan and North America in mid 1996. Although many gamers who grew up playing the Nintendo Entertainment System had, by the mid 90's, moved on to more "grown-up" systems like the Playstation and Saturn, the Nintendo 64 was a big part of the 90's childhood, and made Nintendo fanatics out of a whole new generation of gamers.
– This show took 9 months (on and off) to make.
– All gameplay footage was captured using an RGB-modded Nintendo 64 upscaled through a Framemeister and recorded using an Elgato Game Capture HD.

ABC: The secret to Richmond's success: how the Tigers lay a trap that AFL rivals can't help falling
Discussion in 'AFL' started by walesy, Sep 6, 2018.

This is a great read.
http://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-09-06/afl-finals-favourites-richmond-have-secret-tactic/10203884
Of particular note though for mine, was this:
Richmond's apparent abandonment of the stoppage game has been reflected in the changing role of its star player, Dustin Martin.
While the reigning Brownlow medallist has recorded fewer overall disposals this season (30 per game down to 26), this drop has been almost exclusively confined to his contested possessions (15 per game down to 12).
There has also been a sharp drop in his clearance numbers from general stoppages (three down to 1.9).
No doubt that teams will look to emulate Richmond's success moving forwards, and we all saw it's effect of Martin's scores this year.
Might be something to consider at the start of next season, if teams begin to move away from the contested stoppage game, it could have a big effect on those premium mids.

Very interesting read, makes plenty of sense, cool to think that every club does this sort of analysis on every opposition. I'd be interested to read debriefs on other teams too

Q: How to represent html text as plain text in jsp page I have a column name which contains html elements . I want to show them as normal text in the jsp page. But currently it's getting part of the jsp page.

A: Use escapeXML

A:
arg0="<%=currentCampaign.getName()%>" how to use escapeXml here

That's not possible using standard Java SE API. First install JSTL if not done yet, then add the following line to top of the JSP
<%@ taglib prefix="fn" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/functions" %>

then you can use fn:escapeXml():
<input type="text" name="foo" value="${fn:escapeXml(param.foo)}" />

Alternatively, you can also use the <c:out>:
<%@ taglib prefix="c" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core" %>
...
<c:out value="${param.foo}" />

Q: How to get the 'id' of PATCH request in django? The PATCH request looks something like this "PATCH /api/details/43/ HTTP/1.1". I want to get the id from that request viz. 43. I am using ModelViewSet and overriding initalize_request.
I tried to MyModel.objects.get() inside initalize_request but its returning more than one objects.

A: So the signature of initialize_request is like below:
def initialize_request(self, request, *args, **kwargs)

The ID (primary key) is in kwargs:

NEHAWU Limpopo condemns the brutal rape and murder of a TVET college student on Sunday
The National Education, Health and Allied Workers' Union [NEHAWU] in Limpopo condemns the rape and murder of a student at the Capricorn TVET College on Sunday. Precious Ramabulana was raped and stabbed 52 times in her dorm room a day before President Cyril Ramaphosa launched the 16 days of activism in Limpopo on Monday.
NEHAWU send its deepest condolences to her family, classmates and her lecturers. We call on law enforcement agencies to find the perpetrator as soon as possible so that they can be punished for this heinous crime. We are concerned about the safety of our members and students as this incident further buttresses our call for extra security in all campuses.
We believe that the issue of gender based violence, rape and femicide is a crisis that is tearing our society apart and affects every community in the country. In this regard, we call on all members of society to join hands in ending violence directed at women and children. Moreover, as NEHAWU in the province we will make a call upon COSATU, ANC and the SACP to mobilise society for a stay away in support of gender based initiatives and victims of GBV, rape and femicide.
We will intensify the campaign to extend the 16 days of activism against women and children from 16 days to 365 days. The campaign must also include violence directed at the LGTB community and speak to the issue of corrective rape as well.
Issued by NEHAWU Limpopo Secretariat Office For further information, please contact: Jacob Adams @ 082 558 5966 or email: khaya@nehawu.org.za

I am going pick up another ribbon but I was going to purchase it through the custom tab over at meltyribbon.storenvy.com do you have the supplies to make a angelic type ribbon? White and gold with a cross/wings?
Crap, I can't find your ribbon making site, can you post me a link I wanted to buy a Mermaid one for my wife.
Ahhhhhh I don't really sell those anymore (no one buys them!) I might have the teal/gold one around somewhere if you want it.


What is the criteria for a scholarship?
Applicants must have a diagnosis of infertility, be over 18 years of age and a US Citizen.
Can I mail in an application?
No, at this time applications are only accepted online.
How long do I have to fill out my application?
The application window is always open for 12 weeks. Up to date application windows will be posted on our social media sites.
The number of scholarships awarded and the value of the award depends on the financial need of the recipient(s). We do not have a set number of scholarships that we award. It can and does vary based on need.
We are always available to answer questions, however, please keep in mind that we cannot coach applicants in order to preserve the integrity of the selection process.
We have a selection committee that reviews all the applications. We receive an incredibly large amount of applications and it takes time to review them. Generally, you will be notified within 2-3 weeks. However, we ALWAYS keep applicants informed of where we are in the process. We know how brutal waiting can be.


In case you missed this news from yesterday.
Mr. Bass was 13 when he began working at the Strand, founded by his father, Benjamin. At the time, it was one of nearly 50 such stores along Fourth Avenue.
Except for two years in the Army, he never left, until retiring in November 2017.
A year after taking over as manager of the store in 1956, he moved it from Fourth Avenue to its present location, on Broadway at 12th Street, where it occupied half the ground floor of what had been a clothing business. He set the Strand on a path of unstoppable expansion, taking over the entire first floor, then, in the 1970s, the top three floors, and adding an antiquarian department.
Bass bought the building on Broadway at 12th Street for $8.2 million in 1997. His daughter, Nancy Bass Wyden, now owns the business.
I hope the daughter continues the legacy. There are only two remainder stores in Manhattan -- this and Book Culture uptown.
The question is how much is the building worth. Maybe the family doesn't want to continue and its hard to turn down tens of millions of dollars. Maybe it isn't their dream to run the Strand. We shall see.
Nancy is married to Senator Ron Wyden of Oregon, and they are good people in my book.
@1:05pm: Do you have any basis for thinking Mr. Bass's daughter and family will not want to continue this business? His daughter has worked with him for a LOONG time! And while, yes, of course, she can "cash out" anytime she wants, the longer the business continues, the more $$ she earns AND meanwhile the value of the building will continue to go up (given what's going on in that area lately).
So unless Mr. Bass's daughter HATES books (which seems unlikely), I wouldn't see Strand going anywhere. Some people actually LIKE what they're doing for a living!
so many great books discovered on the Strand's shelves,which i hope will remain available to all of us for generations to come.
Fred Bass was always so nice to us when we turned in unwanted titles for cash. It was fun chatting with him and we always looked forward to it. He treated us with respect and those small cash transactions for used titles remains a valuable resource in the neighborhood for those of us who struggle with finances. Very sorry for your loss. RIP, Mr. Bass. Thanks for all of those years of happy searching. May there be many, many more.

USPS unveils new stamps featuring droids from 'Star Wars' galaxy
By Kelly Hayes
The new line of stamps from the U.S. Postal Service is pictured in a provided image. (Photo credit: U.S. Postal Service)
WASHINGTON - The U.S. Postal Service is launching a new line of stamps from a galaxy far, far away.
Mail will soon feature new stamps with droids from the "Star Wars" universe, including C-3PO and R2-D2, in honor of the 50th anniversary of Lucasfilm — the studio behind the beloved franchise.
Among the other droids featured on USPS' new collection of stamps are BB-8, IG-11, K-2SO, D-O, L3-37, a GNK (or Gonk) power droid, 2-1B surgical droid and C1-10P, commonly known as "Chopper."
In a release, the U.S. Postal Service said the backgrounds of the stamps represent some of the memorable adventures in the "Star Wars" galaxy, including the floating Cloud City above the planet Bespin, introduced in "Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back."
How to celebrate Star Wars Day on May the 4th
With the world isolating at home due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, Star Wars Day couldn't have come at a better time.
USPS said the stamps are also a nod to Lucasfilm's parent company, Disney, and its commitment to science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) learning. The agency noted Disney's continued collaboration between "Star Wars: Force for Change" and global pre-K-12 nonprofit organization "FIRST," which aims to expand access to STEM learning for children worldwide.
Greg Breeding was the designer of the stamps and pane, while William Gicker was the art director, USPS said.
USPS will release more details on the new "Star Wars" inspired stamp collection, including the release date, later this year.

 group_by(here i should group by names ending with the same last letter)
 ...

Above is just the outline and an example of what I'm trying to achieve. I looked for a solution but couldn't find one. What is the solution to this?
Thanks in prior!

A: You can use stringr::str_sub() :
data %>%
 group_by(last_letter = stringr::str_sub(column, -1, -1))

A: Here are couple of other options -

*

*With substring -

library(dplyr)

data <- data.frame(col = c('apple', 'banana', 'pie', 'fries', 'tomato', 'cheese'))
data %>% group_by(grp = substring(col, nchar(col)))

*Using sub -

data %>% group_by(grp = sub('.*(.)$', '\\1', col))

A: An option with str_replace
library(dplyr)
library(stringr)
data %>%
    group_by(grp = str_replace(col, ".*(.)$", "\\1"))

Latino artwork sells for 7.2 million
Arts and Entertainment by Antonio Mejias Rentas
Hispanic Link
RECORD BREAKER: A rare work by Mexican master Rufino Tamayo that was at the center of a recent legal battle has sold at auction for the highest amount ever paid for a Latin American painting. Trovador sold for $7.2 million this month at New York's Christie's auction house. The 1945 painting of a musician with his guitar was sold by Virginia's Randolph College at more than double the expected price. The painting had been donated to the school.
Last November opponents got an injunction to block the sale, but dropped the case to focus on a court challenge to the former women's school's 2006 decision to go coed.
The iconic, colorful canvas, not seen at auction for 40 years, went to an anonymous buyer.
The previous highest price for a Tamayo was $2.59 million. The previous record for a Latin American painting belonged to Frida Kahlo's Raíces, which sold in 2006 for $5.6 million.
Several records for Latin American art were broken at two major New York auction houses, including a second Tamayo, Comedor de sandías, sold at Sotheby's for $3.6 million.
Both Christie's and Sotheby's reported their highest-ever totals for one-evening sales of Latin American art, signaling a healthy, growing market in the category.
Christie's reported two-day take of $33.9 million also included works by Alfredo Ramos Martínez ($2.2 million) and Claudio Bravo ($1.3 million) among its top-ten sellers. Across town, Sotheby's one-night sale of $21 million included a record for a work by Joaquín Torres-García, which sold for $1.7 million.

Every infant or toddler, in every car, needs to be properly restrained. Sometimes, the manufacturers of child restraints produce defective products. These defective child restraints will be recalled if a child is at risk of injury. According to a 2003 report by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, automobile accidents account for one out of every three deaths among children. Injuries from automobile crashes are the leading cause of death for children 4 to 12 year olds. Proper manufacturing and use of child restraints can help to reduce this number.
Injuries caused by defective child restraints can be extremely severe, sometimes causing wrongful death. At The Killino Firm, we recognize that these injuries often change our clients' and their families' lives forever. As a result, we provide personalized and caring representation, while zealously fighting for our clients at every stage of their cases, including trial, if necessary.
The parents of children who are injured or die as the result of defective child restraints consult with The Killino Firm because they know that we will examine the accident scene, the vehicle and the child restraints, and will prosecute our clients' cases so that they receive all of the compensation they are entitled to. We employ a team of attorneys, paralegals and investigators knowledgeable about defective child restraints. We also understand that our clients have suffered serious, at times catastrophic injuries, and need a law office that will deal with the insurance companies and guide the clients and their families through the maze of medical care and treatment that they face.
At The Killino Firm, we go the extra mile in every case. We treat every client and every case with the same intensity as we have the Chinese tire recall and Mattel toy class action. When something goes wrong, the lawyers of The Killino Firm are prepared to investigate every aspect of the accident in order to discover not only what happened, but why. Using cutting edge technology, we evaluate every option until we determine who was responsible, and we then proceed aggressively so that our clients receive all of the compensation they are entitled to. That's the The Killino Firm Difference.
When you need a lawyer who will exhaustively investigate a defective child restraint case and make sure that every responsible party is held accountable, contact The Killino Firm, where Keeping America Safe is our primary goal. To speak with one of our attorneys, please fill out the form on this page, call us toll free at 877-875-2927, or send our Injury Lawyers an email.

Late summer in Moscow brings out the last of us who have been laying low and working too hard, or just hiding out during the long winter season that we know can stretch into April; and so by August or thereabouts, the clock is ticking on Moscow's summer. I am out on the streets seeking that late summer fix of warm and sunny afternoons and evenings. With no summer dacha in my life, I spend my time strolling, or sitting in some of the hundreds of outdoor cafes scattered in parks, along the tree-lines boulevards, or just tucked away in a courtyard behind some unfriendly looking Stalin-era apartment building. Since summers here can bring evenings that look like afternoons and stretch on into the late evening, I can lead a double life all in one day – work for eight hours and then play for eight hours, all before total darkness sets in at midnight.
My "nightlife" tends to rotate among the watering holes of the expat world of Moscow. And aren't we a mixed bag, us expats! Some of us don't even like to be called expats. And, are we really "ex-patriots"… as in never to set foot in our native lands again? Of course not! We are not exiles; nor are we loving it here so much that we never think of going home. In fact, we think of going home all the time, but for one reason or the other, we can't. So we do the next best thing – we seek out other expats and rub shoulders, hypothetical, if not actually. And we seek each other out for all the typical social needs of the human animal.
Let's take a break from being in Russia…let's talk English (or French, or German, or Japanese) with folks who don't look at us funny as they peer over at us in the Metro, on the street corner, or at the markets. Let's go where everybody knows our name, to paraphrase that great American TV show, CHEERS. It was not for nothing that CHEERS ran for years and years – we in the U.S. loved to watch the same old crowd at the Cheers Bar hang out and share the little dramas of their lives week after week. Living your life as an expat in Moscow? Gather together and share the experience. Most of us have that place that we like to hang out in, knowing we will be greeted with the Russian version of a welcome – keeping in mind that most of our watering holes are owned, operated and profiting on us by Russians. That's OK by me… just so they display that rare Moscow smile made just for me. I admit it; I am a sucker for a Russian smile of all kinds – just so it is directed at me!
My favorite expat watering hole in Moscow? I know you've been there at least once – Scandinavia! That great courtyard filled with giant leafy trees… That bar set up just inside the entrance to the courtyard… Those heat lamps and lap blankets ready to keep you warm if the night gets chilly… And smiling waitresses! A margarita or a mojita? No problem!
So come on out to the Moscow we have grown too used to – warm, sunny and dry. Its not gonna last! A chill in the air is around the corner. Get out while you can and join your fellow expatriate and always compatriot friends at your favorite indoor, but I hope outdoor, hangout. Cheers!


Further, they can increase the risk of intestine perforation and the cross-contamination. Other starfish turn up the tips of their arms while moving, which exposes the sensory tube feet and eyespot to external stimuli. Humans are bipedal animals, standing on two feet and keeping one on the ground at all times while walking.
Pattern formation of the rhythmic contractions is involved in the coordination of local contractile activity and has been considered from two viewpoints: Arachnids have eight legs.
Visualizing the spatiotemporal variations of actin protein and associated molecules gives dynamic images of cell movement. One end is attached and the other end is projected forward peristaltically until it touches down, as far as it can reach; then the first end is released, pulled forward, and reattached; and the cycle repeats.

The feature of this micro-robot is that its structure is simply composed, and it can be controlled with external wireless force, by providing it with moving magnetism from the outside.
Animation of a Devonian tetrapod Many familiar animals are quadrupedalwalking or running on four legs. At this time, it is very loosely accepted that high pressure generated in the posterior region pushes protoplasm forward 7 — 9. Its rhythmic contractions and the resulting streaming of protoplasm have been well studied from a cytological point of view 10 — The invention of wired endoscopy made it possible to view the entire stomach, the upper small intestine, and colon.
The progress of this new technology is reviewed in this paper, and the evolution tendencies are analyzed to be high image resolution, high frame rate, and long working time. They can also sustain themselves on all fours while "water-walking" to increase the distance travelled above the surface by about 1.
The relative importance of the two mechanisms may vary with internal and external conditions. Many indirect technologies have been developed to detect GI tract diseases such as angiography, ultrasonography, X-radiography including CTand scintigraphy. At higher speeds momentum helps keep the body upright, so more energy can be used in movement.
The first swallowable parameter capsule was developed in s to measure the pressure information in the small intestine of patients with dysentery [ 9 — 11 ].
Walking and running[ edit ] Species have different numbers of legs resulting in large differences in locomotion. The CE is powered by a cell battery, which can keep working continuously up to 6 hours [ 67 ]. Therefore, it is hardly for them to be applied in clinic.
When frightened, they can drop to water below and run across the surface on their hind limbs at about 1. FromJapanese companies began to make the fibre-optic gastroscope product, and the gastroscope was improved to be more practicable. Some light animals are able to climb up smooth sheer surfaces or hang upside down by adhesion using suckers.
However, limited by physical reasons, the traditional invasive wired endoscopy cannot examine the whole GI tract, leaving the small intestine as a dead zone. Although the tube feet resemble suction cups in appearance, the gripping action is a function of adhesive chemicals rather than suction.
Unfortunately, they were reported to have low diagnostic yields even for bleeding detection [ 23 ] or be rarely helpful unless the bleeding is active severely [ 4 ].
Nevertheless, it will not come true shortly, unless the practical locomotion mechanism of the active CE in GI tract is achieved.Tribot, a Multi-Modal Locomotive Origami Robot: Construction and Control Mohsen Falahi, Zhenishbek Zhakypov, Manan Shah, and Jamie Paik Abstract—Tribot is an origami robot (robogami) that has.

Recently, some robotic and biomedical engineering re-search has investigated a peri staltic crawling robot based on earthworm locomotion  . These robot studies. Abstract A crawling based locomotive mechanism for inspection of small sized pipes is developed by using a tiny ultrasonic linear actuator.
In case of piezo material based actuators, it is known that they have small displacement with high voltage supply. Animal locomotion, in ethology, though the mechanisms they use for locomotion are diverse.
Forms of locomotion on land include walking, running, hopping or jumping, dragging and crawling or slithering. Here friction and buoyancy are no longer an issue.


Prof. Dr. Magnus Aspenberg, Universität Lund: "On semi-hyperbolic maps"
I will discuss the measure theoretic picture for the so called semi-hyperbolic maps, introduced by Carleson, Jones and Yoccoz in 1994. A semi-hyperbolic rational map is a non-hyperbolic map without parabolic periodic points and such that every critical point on the Julia set is non-recurrent. I will show that these maps have Lebesgue measure zero in the parameter space of rational maps, generalizing earlier similar results on so called Misiurewicz maps, which have the stronger property that the whole critical set, instead of every single critical point, on the Julia set is non-recurrent. I also plan to discuss some open questions in relation to this.


One of the biggest challenges faced by anyone reducing their bread intake is what to use in place of bread for such things as sandwiches, pizzas, even what to dunk into a hearty soup.
It's those occasions that can send us back to the bakery aisle for our old familiar fix.
My first thought on this subject as someone who hasn't eaten bread or pizza for many years, if I'm honest, is "get over it". But I realise that isn't too helpful when you're just starting out!
So I thought it was about time I experimented with a healthy alternative that could be used for such situations. It's a tough call, because although the internet is full of recipes for gluten free breads, they still often involve a cocktail of ground grains that can irritate digestion, spike blood sugar and help our body hold on to fat.
For this recipe I have used a small amount of chickpea flour – a nutritious choice as it is higher in protein and fibre. Combining it with sweet potato regulates the effect on blood sugar and makes for a very satisfying bite.
Use this recipe to create large or small patties in various shapes to use for pizza bases, sandwiches, dunk in your favourite soup or dips or top with your fave savoury topping.
I use a pre-baked sweet potato for this recipe. If you haven't already discovered how versatile pre-baked sweet potatoes can be, make sure you sign up for my Free Recipe Series to receive a full cooking plan and more recipe ideas!
Pop the flesh of the sweet potato out of its skin and into a bowl, mashing it with a fork until smooth.
Add the flour, baking powder, Tbsp olive oil and egg to the bowl and mix thoroughly, seasoning with salt.
Heat oil in a saute pan on a medium heat, enough to cover the bottom on the pan.
Add spoonfuls of the batter to the pan, shaping with the back of the spoon to your required shape. Fry until slightly browned and set on the underside.
Flip over and cook on the other side briefly.
Remove to a plate with kitchen paper to absorb.
You can store these in the fridge for 3 days or freeze them – they only take 30 minutes or so to defrost. These are really versatile to have on hand for when you would usually grab a slice of bread!

Meet Nichole and Simon, otherwise know as Nic and Si. OMG!! This was the perfect wedding for the BG team. While we love all our couples and enjoy each wedding, sometimes we just click so perfectly with a couple. We knew when we met this adorable couple via online chatting with Nic in SF and Si in Sidney that we were the perfect match. I mean they really had us at Doctor Who!! If you know anything about us, we love Doctor Who and love adorably styled and personalized weddings. This Adorable Doctor Who Wedding at the Farmhouse in Delaware fit the bill!
Once upon A time, Nichole packed her bags and went looking for adventure. She moved to Australia where she met Simon, who is from Wales. He was singing at the famous Sydney Opera House. As Nichole tells it, "a gay friend of hers wrote a profile for her for an online dating service in 2012 and this is how they met." She is so glad her friend talked her into it. Nic and Si are a perfect match. They both love Doctor Who, games, traveling, and adventure. Simon proposed at Yosemite- I mean how perfect is that!!!
We began our day with them getting ready at the Hotel Dupont and did a super sweet first look across the street from the hotel. Just look at Simon's reaction, Love it!! Their love for each other is just so obvious and sweet.
Their wedding party loaded up onto a school bus and then we headed over to the Constitution Yards Beer Garden for some fun wedding party photos. Thanks to the crew there who let us in a few minutes before they opened so we had the place to ourselves and then got the crew some beers! You can tell how much fun we had. The weather was cloudy but was just a beautiful temperature. And we like photographing on cloudy days way better than bright sunny ones actually!
Their ceremony and Reception at the Farmhouse was perfect! Such a great venue and the couple made so many awesome decorations and signs. Their attention to detail was perfect and it was a great way to have a wedding with a theme without being over the top! LOVE, LOVE, their cat decorations; and having a compass for the seat info was brilliant! Also their Katubah was the BEST EVER!!! It was custom made and filled with so many icons that symbolized their life together. Can you find the Tardis? Karen from Life of the Party did a Fantastic job coordinating this wedding and making sure all the decorations were in place.
During the ceremony the couple shared jokes and tender moments. The two flower girls were Adorable and certainly stole the show as they came down the aisle! They had the perfect size wedding party, 3 on each side. They had about 80 guests which was a great size and the couple could spend their reception dancing and hanging out with family and friends that came from all over the world.

Q: List of specific day/days in a given date range I was looking for List of specific day/days in a given date range and i found this
declare @d datetime
select @d = '20100101'  --'20090101'  if you want 2009 etc etc

select dateadd(dd,number,@d) from master..spt_values
where type = 'p'
and year(dateadd(dd,number,@d))=year(@d)
and DATEPART(dw,dateadd(dd,number,@d)) = 7

at
  get date of all saturdays in a given year - sql server
I was wondering if I can use start date and end date instead of year, and can get list of two days like Saturday and Sunday.
regards

A: This gives you the number of day for each days between @start and @end:
declare @start date = '20151001', @end date = '20151017'
Select c = DATEDIFF(DAY, @start, @end)/ 7
     + case when (7 + DATEPART(WEEKDAY, @start) + (DATEDIFF(DAY, @start, @end)% 7) - d) % 7 <= (DATEDIFF(DAY, @start, @end)%7) then 1 else 0 end
From (values(1), (2), (3), (4), (5), (6), (7)) as days(d)

Output:
Day 1   2
Day 2   2
Day 3   2
Day 4   2
Day 5   3
Day 6   3
Day 7   3

It completly avoid using recursive CTE and DATEADD on each day betwen @start and @end. This is just some math.
For multiple dates, you could also use something like this altough it is not as efficient on big ranges:
declare @start date = '20151001', @end date = '20151017'

Select DATEADD(DAY, n, @start), DATEPART(WEEKDAY, DATEADD(DAY, n, @start))
From (
    Select top(DATEDIFF(DAY, @start, @end)+1) ROW_NUMBER() over(order by n)-1
    From (
        Select 1 From (values(1), (1), (1), (1), (1), (1), (1), (1), (1), (1)) as v1(n)
        Cross Join (values(1), (1), (1), (1), (1), (1), (1), (1), (1), (1)) as v2(n)
        Cross Join (values(1), (1), (1), (1), (1), (1), (1), (1), (1), (1)) as v3(n)
    ) as v(n)
) as o(n)
Where DATEPART(WEEKDAY, DATEADD(DAY, n, @start)) in (7, 1)

Output:
DATE        WEEKDAY
2015-10-03  7
2015-10-04  1
2015-10-10  7
2015-10-11  1
2015-10-17  7

Here, 7 = Saturday, 1 = Sunday. You can add any value between 1 and 7 or it could come from another table.
It could be replaced by Day Names if you use DATENAME.
You then only have to add a group by and/or a sum to get the number of Saturdays and Sundays.
V1/V2/V3 avoid using a recursive query and quickly generate a list of number from 0 to X (and up to 999). X is the difference between @start and @end in days. Add v4 if you need a 10.000 days range (and so on...) but 1000 is enough for over 2 years, almost 3.

A: Recursively select all dates from_date to To_Date and then use DATEPART to check whether it's a Weekend or Not.
declare @from_date as date---your from date
declare @to_date as date---your to date

;WITH dates AS (
    SELECT CONVERT( DATE, @from_date) AS a
