Why we remove footwear before entering Temple?
SIBY HERALD August 6, 2018 04:30 IST Why we remove footwear before entering Temple?
Temples are the place that contains pure vibrations of magnetic and electric fields with positive energy. In olden days, temples were built in such a way that the floor at the center of the temple were good conductors of these positive vibrations allowing them to pass through our feet to the body. Hence it is necessary to walk bare footed while you enter the core center of the temple.
Another known reason is shoes and chappals are used everywhere hence they tend to get all the impurities like dirt, germs etc which spoil the pure environment of the temple and is the source of negative energy. Five senses of Human Body are sight, hearing, touch, taste, and smell. These are activated by the following actions in the temple.
The positive energy in the temple is absorbed properly only if you ensure that all five senses are activated in your body while you are in the temple. Also the place of worship is said to be pleased only if your five senses are pleased. Once the camphor is brought to you after offering the prayer, you usually put your hands over the camphor to make your hands warm and then you touch your eyes with your warm hands. This action assures your touch sense is active.

This could be interesting. Seems like every fall there's a new space movie in tow, and this time it's Amy Adams as a translator for a group of invaders from another planet. Jeremy Renner co-stars and the director is Denis Villenueve, who made Prisoners and Sicario. The full trailer arrives in a few days, but this early look is promising.

Jean Charles Louis René Gamain, est un homme politique français, né le  à Berneuil-sur-Aisne et décédé le  à Champigny-sur-Marne.

Biographie
Fils de Charles Gamain, banquier, et d'Amélie Élise Félicie Tondu du Metz, et petit-fils, par sa mère, de Jean Isaac Tondu du Metz et de Louise Joséphine Stéphanie Chocus, il nait le , à 1 heure, au domicile de ses père et mère situé à Berneuil-sur-Aisne.

Après de brillantes études en Droit, sanctionnées par un doctorat, il officie comme avocat à la cour d'appel de Paris.

Il épouse, le , à Paris, Julie Hadrot avec laquelle il aura Julien Charles Louis René, né en 1891, et Charles Louis Julien René (1892-1893).

Il meurt le , à 8 heures 30, en son domicile à Champigny-sur-Marne, Rue du Monument, d'une phtisie galopante.

Maire de Champigny-sur-Marne
Républicain démocrate, il se présente aux élections législatives du 22 septembre 1889, dans la  circonscription de l'arrondissement de Sceaux. Ne recueillant que 108 voix sur les  votants, sur les  inscrits, il s'incline dès le premier tour.

Il adhère à la fédération des républicains radicaux progressistes du canton de Charenton-le-Pont, fondée en 1889, et en devient le délégué pour le comité de Champigny-sur-Marne, portant son programme politique.

Il est élu, le , maire de la commune de Champigny-sur-Marne dont il était conseiller municipal. Ces mêmes élections lui adjoignent Jacques Louis Richard et Paul Émile Dufour.

Si l'on en croit le journal Le Radical, il semble que la commune ait été, jusqu'à son élection, plutôt réactionnaire et peu réceptive aux idées républicaines. Il prend dès lors l'engagement de faire de Champigny-sur-Marne un exemple républicain. Aidé par les francs-maçons dans son projet, il parvient à faire élire un conseil municipal comprenant vingt républicains et trois réactionnaires, inversant la proportion d'avant son élection. Il commence son mandat en mettant de l'ordre dans les finances de la commune, réorganise la voirie et l'assistance et opère la laïcisation de l'école communale de filles.

Élection au Conseil général
Maire de Champigny-sur-Marne, il brigue, en 1893, un mandat de conseiller général de la Seine, dans le canton de Nogent-sur-Marne. Se présentant comme républicain démocrate, il s'oppose à Henry Vaudémont, publiciste, candidat de l'Union des groupes républicains radicaux, Henri Navarre, maire du Perreux, républicain, et le sieur Grenet. À l'occasion des réunions électorales organisées par les trois comités de patronnage des candidats républicain, il lui sera souvent reproché de vouloir cumuler ses fonctions de maire avec celles de conseiller général.

Le premier tour des élections, organisé le , se conclut par une ballottage, ayant été crédité de 904 voix sur les  suffrages exprimés, pour  inscrits, contre  voix à Navarre, 517 à Vaudémont, 232 à Grenet et 99 bulletins divers et nuls.

Malgré la campagne dirigée contre lui et conformément aux engagements mutuels publiquement pris, Henry Vaudémont, remerciant ses électeurs, appelle à voter pour lui, estimant que, hormis sur la question du cumul des mandats, ils portent le même programme radical socialiste.

Il est élu à l'issue du second tour, organisé le  suivant, recueillant  voix sur les  votants, contre  à Navarre et 48 bulletins divers et nuls.

Franc-maçonnerie
Proche de la Franc-maçonnerie où il intervient à plusieurs reprises, en qualité d'orateur, notamment le , à la tenue solennelle de la loge l'Atelier, à l'Hôtel du Grand Orient de France, il intègre, en 1891, la loge l'Esprit moderne et donne une conférence à sa loge le 4 mai suivant.

Al Masaood successfully took part in the nationwide celebration of 'UAE Flag Day,' which also coincided with the anniversary of H.H. Sheikh Khalifa Bin Zayed Al Nahyan's inauguration as President in 2004. Al Masaood participated in the countrywide effort to raise the UAE Flag at 11:00 am last Thursday, November 01, 2018.
The event falls in line with Al Masaood's continuing efforts to consolidate national values and to promote a culture of respecting the flag as a symbol of patriotism, unity and union, which embodies the sovereignty of the country and strengthen a sense of national pride.


Yesterday I was informed of the arrest of four (4) cash-in transit heist suspects, among them an individual believed to be an employee at Luthuli House, the national headquarters of the governing African National Congress (ANC).
The arrest of this individual does bring into question whether the ANC has been aware of the arrest of this individual and, if so, why they have remained silent on such an important matter. It also begs the question of how the ANC, while running National Government, can employ individuals who so brazenly undermine public safety and the rule of law in our Country.

Q: declaring and using a overall dictionary in vba im new to programming and especially new to vba, but i'm trying my best and now i need your help!
So what i would like to achive:
I made a interface in word. There are multiple buttons. If one button is clicked, the programm should check if the button caption, which was clicked, is a key in a dictionary which is declared outside of the sub for the button click.
like :
i click on the button1 which states: "Work" -> check if "Work" is a key in dictionary -> if so, overwrite the button caption with the first item of the key "Work"
i click on the button2 which states: "home" -> check if "home" is a key in dictionary -> if so, overwrite the button caption with the first item of the key "home"
if there is no key to the buttons caption, it shall search through the document for the button caption and print the next paragraph in a label (-> this works quite well)
my approach:

*

*I tried to declare the dictionary (in main())

*I  filled the dictionary(in main())

*I created the sub for the button click (a sub)

*optional:  I created a function that is called to check if the button caption is a key in the dictionary (a function)

*if the return of the check is true: overwrite the button caption (in sub)
Problem:
so far my biggest problem is to make the dictionary accessibly by the button click subs.
I just dont know how to properly declare it.
I tried to declare it as public like this:
Function Main()

    Public d As Scripting.Dictionary

    Set d = CreateObject("Scripting.Dictionary")
    d.Add "menu", Array("home", "friends", "money")
    d.Add "home", Array("cat", "dog", "mouse")
    d.Add "work", Array("boss", "employes")

End Function

Sub btn_Click()

    schl = btn.Caption
    If d.Exists(schl) = True Then
        x=d(schl)
        btn.Caption = x(1)
    End If

End Sub

-> Object required (Error 424)
I tried to declare d as Static like this (the rest is the same code):
Static d As Scripting.Dictionary

-> compiling failure: User-defined type not defined
So i am very unsure about my concept and massively thankful for any hints on how to improve my style of coding and the programm itself!
Thanks in advance!

EDIT:
I tried the approach of Tim Williams:
Public d As Scripting.Dictionary

Function Main()
    Set d = CreateObject("Scripting.Dictionary")
    d.Add "menu", Array("home", "friends", "money")
    d.Add "home", Array("cat", "dog", "mouse")
    d.Add "work", Array("boss", "employes")
End Function

and got: Object variable not set (Error 91)
if i understand BigBen and Manpreet Singh Dhillon correctely and tried their approach:
Public d
Function Main()
    Set d = New Scripting.Dictionary
    d.Add "menu", Array("home", "friends", "money")
    d.Add "home", Array("cat", "dog", "mouse")
    d.Add "work", Array("boss", "employes")
End Function

I get : Object required (Error 424)

A: You need to declare the dictionary outside of the sub, as a Global variable (in addition to adding the scripting runtime reference to your project)
Public d As Scripting.Dictionary

Function Main()
    Set d = CreateObject("Scripting.Dictionary")
    d.Add "menu", Array("home", "friends", "money")
    d.Add "home", Array("cat", "dog", "mouse")
    d.Add "work", Array("boss", "employes")
End Function

The Paradox of Immigration: Opposition Is Strongest Precisely Where There Are the Fewest Immigrants
James Fallows is in western Kansas around Dodge City, where many of the cities are majority Latino and full of immigrants from Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Cuba, and more recently Somalia and Sudan. Here's what he says:
I can't let this day end without noting the black-versus-white, night-versus-day contrast between the way immigration, especially from Mexico and other parts of Latin America, is discussed in this part of the country where it is actually happening, versus its role in this moment's national political discussion.
….Every single person we have spoken with — Anglo and Latino and other, old and young, native-born and immigrant, and so on down the list — every one of them has said: We need each other! There is work in this community that we all need to do. We can choose to embrace the world, or we can fade and die. And we choose to embrace it.
I don't have actual data on this, but my sense from both the US and Britain is that the most fervent opposition to immigration—legal or otherwise—comes precisely from the regions where it's had the least impact. Here in the US, for example, immigration from Latin America has been heaviest in the southern sun belt states of California, Texas, Arizona, and a few others. And yet Donald Trump's "build a wall" narrative played well in places like New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, and Massachusetts, all of which have relatively small Latino populations. Similarly, Brexit did best in the small towns and rural areas of England, the places that have the fewest immigrants and that depend the most on EU trade.
That's not to say that opposition to immigration is absent in places like London or San Diego. It's not. But these places mostly seem to have adapted to it and figured out that it's not really all that bad. It's everywhere else, where immigration is mostly a fear, that anti-immigrant sentiment has the strongest purchase. And that's why peddling fear is so effective.

Q: Why every small set is a moderate set, but not conversely (as universe itself)? I read here

a subset of the universe, which may be small or large. (every small set is moderate, but not conversely; again, the universe itself is the standard counterexample.)

But I don't understand well because the universe itself is the standard counterexample, i.e why every small set is moderate, but not conversely ?
This because universe is a pure set ?
This situation is for me cryptic.
Why can't the universe belong to itself ?

A: The article you link is about foundations in general. In each foundation the precise reason that a universe cannot contain itself may be different.
For example, in ZFC, the axiom of regularity forbids that any set contains itself. So in that system, if we have a set that functions as a universe, it cannot contain itself.
The more general answer is that having a universe contain itself would give us Russell's paradox:
Most foundations will have some form of separation. That is, given a set $X$ in our universe, and some first-order formula $\varphi$, we can form a set
$$
Y = \{x \in X : \varphi(x)\},
$$
such that $Y$ is again in our universe. If our universe $U$ contains itself,  we could build the set
$$
R = \{ x \in U : x \not \in x\},
$$
which would be in $U$. But now we have that $R \in R$ if and only if $R \not \in R$, which is problematic.


Inspired by rich family tradition, delicious West Indian cuisine and the diversity of the islands of Trinidad and Tobago; KimBeAu was founded in 2007 by husband and wife team Kim and Paul.
The KimBeAu journey began when we created a sample of our gourmet products for the first ever carnival event in Hyde Park. So encouraged we were by the response, we began production to supply various Farmer's Markets throughout England on weekends.
Although I already had a successful career in banking, I have always had a passion for food preparation. In fact, my exploits in the kitchen started at age 7, and by 12 years old my undeniable gift to bring flavours together was evident as I was creating fantastic dishes, much to the delight of my mother and family. In hindsight, I consider it a special privilege that I was born into a family that took pride in their creations in the kitchen. This legacy remains very real to me as my mother, at 75 years old, still bakes her speciality organic cookies, which have become a treat to her neighbours, children and even grandchildren in the community.
It is this combination of passion and a natural gift with flavours and unconditional support from my husband that resulted in the development of our full range of sweet and savoury gourmet products. Customers can be assured of time-tested recipes and authentic Caribbean flavour. Every recipe is proven, and every taste of our gourmet products will either recall memories of a cherished getaway to the warm and inviting islands of the West Indies-- or ignite dreams of travelling to the tropics for your next family vacation or romantic getaway.
The KimBeAu guarantee also ensures that there is no compromise on the love and labour that goes into creating every product; each is prepared and packaged- by hand- with great detail. At the heart of our recipes are quality organic ingredients and authentic spices- and the heart of West Indian cuisine in general; and we know that the growing popularity and success of our line of gourmet products is as a result. Even further, our unchanging commitment to excellence means that we offer nothing but, quality food made from quality ingredients.
The diversity of our homeland also serves as a constant inspiration in the creation of our line of gourmet products. Trinidad and Tobago is a nation with much cosmopolitan flair, and it is KimBeAu's earnest endeavour, always to create an exceptional array of traditional flavours. We are simply delighted to have the opportunity to bring the tastes of our native, delicious and nutritious Trinidad and Tobago cuisine, from our kitchen to yours.
The KimBeAu Team also prides itself on providing creative, authentic and quality gourmet speciality services. We offer gift packages and the convenience of on-line shopping and delivery service; as such, your next Caribbean culinary escape is never too far away. So, whether you are an expert in West Indian flavours and cuisine or simply experimenting with our flavours, foods and spices for the first time, KimBeAu's products are sure to bring a tropical wave to your taste buds.
Our advice, therefore, is to get your passport ready as a mini tropical escape awaits you in every savoury bite. There is no doubt, that in every product, KimBeAu has brilliantly captured the distinct and exotic flavours of the beautiful twin-island Republic of Trinidad and Tobago.

Adding shortening to a Pi makes it fatter - but this kind of shortening makes your Pi a little slimmer! This black short-style microSD adapter slides in where the SD card goes but is 9mm shorter. This makes it stick out a lot less and makes for a more elegant (and less accident-prone) Pi. All you have to do is pop in a microSD card for a sleeker machine! The outer edge of the SD adapter has a deep grove for a fingernail to pull on for removal.
We also have these in blue, pink, and green!

Aelius-Evrard Vorst, latinisé en Aelius Everhardus Vorstius, né le  à Ruremonde et mort le  à Leyde, est un médecin et botaniste néerlandais.

Biographie
Fils de Henricus et de Maria Vorstius Schaeria, Vorst était issu d'une famille illustre qui occupait de hautes fonctions au sein de l'Église et de l'État. Après avoir passé son enfance chez ses grands-parents maternels, à Venlo, il effectua ses premières études à Dordrecht, où les troubles qui désolaient la Hollande avaient obligé ses parents à se retirer. Il entra, le , à l'université de Leyde pour faire ses humanités, mais il assista ensuite aux conférences médicales de Bonaventure de Smet, Pieter Tjeerts et Juste Lipse.

Le , il prit le chemin de l'Allemagne pour poursuivre ses études de philosophie et de médecine à l'université de Heidelberg et, quatre ans plus tard, à l'université de Cologne. La réputation dont jouissaient alors les universités d'Italie, l'engagea à se rendre dans ce pays. Il alla suivre, à l'université de Padoue, les cours de Girolamo Capodivacca, de Bernardino Paterno, Jérôme Fabrice et de Girolamo Mercuriale. Ce dernier étant passé à l'université de Bologne, il l'y suivit et étudia également sous  et Gaspare Tagliacozzi. Passé ensuite à l'université de Ferrare, il étudia sous Girolamo Brassavola (1536-1594). Après avoir reçu, en 1594, son doctorat en médecine à Padoue, Alfonso Cataneo, premier médecin du duc Alphonse, qui l'avait pris en amitié, lui procura une place de médecin auprès de Niccolò Grana, l'évêque napolitain d'Anglona. Vorst vécut trois ans chez ce prélat, après la mort duquel il passa au service du marquis de Querceto, Fabrizio Pignatelli, pratiquant la médecine encore une année à Naples tout en recherchant des antiquités.

En 1596, éprouvant, après une absence de près d'une dizaine d'années, le désir de revoir son pays, il quitta l'Italie pour revenir à Ruremonde, et fut presque aussitôt appelé à Delft où il se lia d'amitié avec l'antiquaire Abraham Gorlaeus, possesseur d'un intéressant cabinet de curiosités.

pour obtenir, le , sur la recommandation de Scaliger, qui connaissait son mérite, la chaire de professeur extraordinarius de philosophie naturelle à l'université de Leyde. Le  de l'année suivante, il succéda à , mort le , dans la chaire d'histoire naturelle et de médecine. Ses cours étaient consacrés aux Institutiones (les fondements théoriques de la médecine) au centre desquels il plaçait les principes d'Hippocrate. Le  après la mort de Pieter Pauw, la chaire de botanique, science qu'il avait étudiée avec beaucoup de distinction sous Jacopo Zabarella à Padoue et sous Ulisse Aldrovandi à Bologne, lui échut, avec la direction du Jardin botanique de Leyde créé par Charles de L'Écluse, mission qu'il a accomplie avec un certain mérite.

Lorsqu'il mourut, après vingt-huit ans de professorat, Vorstius avait travaillé, en plus de ses études de médecine, sur les langues allemande, française, italienne et espagnole, mais aussi sur l'histoire, l'archéologie, la numismatique et l'héraldique. Il avait également pris part à l'administration de l'université de Leyde, dont il fut quatre fois recteur, en 1609, 1612, 1621 et 1622. Quoique très érudit, Vorst n'a presque rien écrit. Il promettait une édition du Traité de Celse de re medicâ ; un Recueil de ses observations d'histoire naturelle et d'antiquités, effectuées pendant son séjour dans le royaume de Naples et l'Histoire des poissons de la Hollande. Quoique annoncés par plusieurs bibliographes, ces trois ouvrages n'ont pas paru, et on ignore même s'ils existent en manuscrit. Outre une Lettre à Gorlœus, imprimée au-devant de la Dactyliotheca, on n'a de lui que deux oraisons funèbres, celle Charles de L'Écluse (Leyde, 1609, in-8°), et celle de Pauw (Leyde, 1617, in-4°), et un petit commentaire De annulorum origine, placé par Abraham Gorlaeus en tête de son ouvrage Dactyliotheca (Leyde, 1599, in-4°). Son fils Adolph lui succéda dans la chaire de botanique, continuant son travail de publication du catalogue des plantes du Jardin botanique de Leyde.

Different strains of cholera use different weapons to kill
WRITTEN BY: Futurity (futurity.org)
Cholera bacteria kill as many as 140,000 people a year. Away from humans, the same bacteria kill neighboring microbes with toxic spears.
When researchers studied more than 50 samples of Vibrio cholerae isolated from both patients and the environment they found that the samples taken from the wild were able to kill other bacteria—a phenomenon called "bacterial dueling"—but just 14 percent of the bacterial pathogen strains isolated from humans had that capability.
"It's a dog-eat-dog world out there even for bacteria," says Brian Hammer, an associate professor in the School of Biology at the Georgia Institute of Technology. "Bacteria such as Vibrio cholerae sense and respond to their surroundings, and they use that information to turn on and off the genes that benefit them in the specific environments in which they find themselves."
In humans, the cholera bacteria produce a diarrheal disease that can kill untreated patients in just a few hours. The deadly effects of the disease, however, are actually caused by a virus that infects the Vibrio cholerae strains found in humans. The toxin carried by the virus helps spread the disease among humans, but cholera strains quickly lose the virus and adapt other competitive mechanisms in the environment.
For example, the cholera bacterium is commonly found attached to chitin, a complex sugar used by aquatic creatures such as crabs and zooplankton to form protective shells. In the wild, most strains of cholera can degrade the shells for use as food, and the new study shows how the presence of chitin can signal the bacteria—which have receptors for the material—to produce behaviors very different from those seen in human disease.
Three experiments
Graduate student Eryn Bernardy obtained nearly 100 samples of cholera bacteria from a variety of sources globally, including one originally isolated from a 1910 Saudi Arabian outbreak of the disease.
She then studied 53 of the samples for their ability to degrade chitin, to take up DNA from the environment, and to kill other bacteria by poking them with a poisoned spear.
Colonies of each strain were grown in petri plates containing chitin material. The strains able to digest the material produced a clear ring showing that they had broken down the chitin in the agar growth medium. Only three of the cholera colonies failed to degrade the chitin.
To study their ability to take up DNA, bacterial cells were grown on crab shells, then exposed to raw DNA containing a gene for antibiotic resistance. The cells were scraped off the shells and placed onto agar plates containing an antibiotic that would normally kill the bacteria. Colonies that survived showed they had taken up the genetic material.
To study their ability to compete with other bacteria, each cholera strain was placed into contact with a billion or so E. coli cells on petri plates. After a few hours in contact, the researchers counted the number of E. coli remaining. Some cholera strains were able to kill nearly all of the E. coli cells, reducing their numbers to a few hundred thousand.
"We found a very sharp difference between the clinical isolates and the environmental isolates," Hammer says. "For example, most of the isolates that came out of patients either couldn't kill other bacteria, or were carefully controlling that behavior.
"Patient isolates have a very different way of competing inside the human body. They use the virus-encoded toxin to cause the diarrheal disease and remove their competitors from the intestine."
With help from Centers for Disease Control and Prevention scientists, the researchers correlated the behavior of each strain with their unique DNA sequences. They also examined the strains for the presence of the toxin used to cause disease.
Outbreak in Haiti
To deduce the rules governing the bacterium's behavior, Hammer and his lab have been studying cholera for the last 15 years, starting with a single strain first isolated in Peru in the early 1990s. When a cholera outbreak began in Haiti after the 2010 earthquake, his lab worked with the CDC to isolate these new strains. In further study, Hammer was surprised to find that the 2010 Haitian strains were less capable than the 1991 Peruvian variety.
"We were very surprised to find that most of the Haiti strains did not behave like the one we had been studying for years," he says. "This was a reminder to us that we needed to embrace the diversity of the organisms we've been studying.
"We thought this would be an opportune time to start looking at how diverse Vibrio cholerae really is."
Hammer compared the diversity of the cholera strains to the diversity of humans, who increasingly receive personalized health care.
"In humans, one size doesn't fit all for patient care," he says. "For cholera, the behavior is personalized for each strain. Understanding this will be useful in the development of future therapeutics, and we're hopeful that knowing how these bacteria interact with other organisms in complex communities will lead us to things that can truly benefit humans."
The National Science Foundation and the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation funded the study, which appears in the journal Applied and Environmental Microbiology.

"The Lord Of The Rings: The Battle For Middle-Earth II" Is Released
The Lord of the Rings: The Battle for Middle-earth II, abbreviated BFME2, is a real-time strategy video game developed and published by Electronic Arts.
It is based on the fantasy novel The Lord of the Rings by J. R. R. Tolkien and its live-action film trilogy adaptation. The game is the sequel to Electronic Art's 2004 title The Lord of the Rings: The Battle for Middle-earth. The Windows version of the game was released on March 2, 2006 and the Xbox 360 version was released on July 5, 2006. Along with the standard edition, a Collector's Edition of the game was released, containing bonus material and a documentary about the game's development.
Set in the regions of northern Middle-earth, the game focuses on the events of the War in the North. For the sake of gameplay, the game takes several liberties with Tolkien's works and the film trilogy. Some characters were altered in their appearances, abilities, and roles; for instance, a combat role in the game is given to Tom Bombadil, a merry hermit from The Lord of the Rings. In addition, Tolkien's earlier novel The Hobbit lends several elements to the game, including characters such as the Giant Spiders from Mirkwood. The story for BFME2 is divided into Good and Evil Campaigns. Both campaigns focus on the battles fought by the newly introduced factions: the Elves, Dwarves, and Goblins. The player goes through nine fixed missions in either easy, medium, or hard difficulty mode. Narrated cut scenes provide plot exposition between missions.

Impactful ideas can change the way people interact and engage with politics, government and public services, and has the power to inspire people to work towards improving the quality of life in a community through civic engagement.
The Civic Engagement category at the D&AD Impact Awards celebrates projects that democratize power and promote transparency and accountability; enabling citizens, and creating positive impact at local, national and international levels. Winning work in the Civic Engagement category is exemplary in creating opportunities or platforms for people to communicate with government offices; educating people on their civil liberties and government legislation; encouraging people to take part in active citizenship and to use their right to vote; projects or campaigns that promote public safety and health.
At the 2016 Impact Awards, civic engagement was represented in many different forms. Winner of the Wood Pencil, "Taking Aim at Corporate America" turned one of the world's largest grocery chain's own rules against them to put gun laws in a different perspective. Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America (MDA) teamed up with Grey Canada for the campaign which sought to shame Kroger grocer using their own gun policies to call attention to growing concerns that American gun laws allow people to carry loaded guns in stores.
The campaign began with a series of ads showing armed shoppers standing next to customers breaking Kroger's store policies, with the caption, "One of them isn't welcome at Kroger. Guess which one." The result? 360,000 petition signatures and the momentum to make actionable impact about gun safety laws. Learn more about the campaign here, along with other Civic Engagement award winners from the 2016 D&AD Impact Awards.

Zellie's colt, Zephyr, came into this world on April 19th, 2004 at 4am. Both Zellie and her foal were healthy and happy!
Zephyr is mostly dark brown but his coat has many colors in it. He has a white star on his forehead and a little white snip on his nose. He seems very strong - he stood and walked almost right away!
He grew so fast and became a tall horse right before our eyes! Now Zephyr is starting to get spots (after all, his mom is an appaloosa). White and black ones all over! We will see what his coat looks like after all the spots come in!


How long does a redeemable last?
The length of redeemables and the time frame settings are done in the validity section of creating the Redeemable.
When you set-up a redeemable, the validity step is where you can set up the parameters of your redeemable availability.
In this step, Validity, you'll determine the dates and locations the redeemable will be valid, as well as setting recurrence and guest notifications to alert them of the offer's approaching expiration.
To end your redeemable after a set number of days from launch, enter an amount in the Expiry (In Days) field; set a hard date for your redeemable to end, click the Explicit Date of Expiry field and choose an expiration date from the calendar.
Alternately, if you don't want your redeemable to have an expiration date, click the Allow this redeemable to run indefinitely toggle to enable it.
In the Remind before field, enter a time (in days) to remind a guest in advance that the redeemable is expiring. For example, if you enter "3", the guest will receive a notification 3 days prior to the redeemable's expiration.
While optional, we strongly recommend using this setting.

Port im Sturm is a temporary public installation at the termination of the Lend canal in Klagenfurt, Austria. Visitors are led to a safe haven by a chaotic and unpredictable world of risks and harsh realities: A white gate over the steps leading down into the Lend canal's harbor serves as a portal and transition point between the outside world and the space created by the installation. Loudspeakers within the portal provide a constantly-changing soundscape – upon entry one hears the clap of thunder or the pummeling of a hailstorm. Continuing through the portal a more calming mix of chatty wildlife, gentle streams, and windblown grass is heard from inside the portal, signalling that the storm has passed. From the portal the eyes are directed to the historic pump house in the Lendhafen, which is transformed into a lighthouse by the artists. A light beam emanates from the lighthouse, creating an atmosphere of arrival and safety.
The vernissage evening also featured a live sound performance from Tyler Lewis, comprised of manipulated field recordings that complemented the sound installation in the portal.


During a recent vacation in Croatia, one of Jay-Z's bodyguards got into a brawl with paparazzi. Now Jay is telling "Extra" how it really went down.
The rapper reveals that the whole altercation may have been blown out of proportion. "You know, it got a little out of hand... it was only one guy," Jay-Z admits. "I'm not sure the Croatian paparazzi are really skilled in the art of space versus privacy."
Jay-Z is currently promoting his upcoming 9/11 benefit concert, "Answer the Call," in which Jay will take the stage and donate 100% of the proceeds to the New York Police & Fire Widows' & Children's Benefit Fund. "Extra" asked if superstar wife Beyoncé would join him onstage, and he jokingly replied, "Hopefully. I don't know if I got enough money to pay her, but hopefully."

Q: Crear nuevas tablas en SQLite Trabajo con NodeJS, hasta el momento, creaba nuevas filas cuando un usuario no era encontrado, y lo hacía de la siguiente manera:
const sqlite = require('sqlite');
sqlite.open('points.sqlite').then(() => {
  sqlite.get(`SELECT * FROM users WHERE ID = ${user}`)
    .then(rows => {
      if (!rows) {
        sqlite.run('INSERT INTO users (ID) VALUES (?)', [`${user}`])
          .then(() => {
            sqlite.get(`SELECT * FROM users WHERE ID = ${user}`)
              .then((row) => {
                if (!row) return;
                client.scores.set(row.ID, row);
              }).catch(console.log);
          });
      }
    }).catch(console.log);
});

Sin embargo, ahora quiero, con otra base de datos, llamado lpoints.sqlite, crear una tabla nueva con los siguientes campos:
CREATE TABLE `IDGUILD` (
    `IDUSER`    TEXT NOT NULL UNIQUE,
    `SCORE` INTEGER,
    PRIMARY KEY(`IDUSER`)
);

En la cual, IDGUILD sería la variable ID del guild (string de 18 caracteres).
¿Cómo puedo crear las tablas nuevas?

A: Solución, hacer sqlite.run en la cual se crea la tabla, con el nombre de la tabla y los campos. El formato para la creación de la tabla es: sqlite.run(CREATE TABLE nombreTabla (var1 TYPE1, var2 TYPE2 ...)) fuente (en inglés).
const sqlite  = require('sqlite');
sqlite.open('lpoints.sqlite').then(() => {
  sqlite.run(`CREATE TABLE '${GUILDID}' (IDUSER TEXT NOT NULL UNIQUE, SCORE INTEGER, PRIMARY KEY(IDUSER))`);
});

O en ES7 usando async/await:
new Promise(async (resolve, reject) => {
  try {
    const sqlite = require('sqlite');
    await sqlite.open('lpoints.sqlite')
    await sqlite.run(`CREATE TABLE '${GUILDID}' (IDUSER TEXT NOT NULL UNIQUE, SCORE INTEGER, PRIMARY KEY(IDUSER))`);
    resolve();
  } catch(e) {
    reject(e);
  }
});

good for acne, not for keeping me matte ): I'm still on the search for the perfect primer... it was very frustrating to find that this primer doesn't keep me matte and doesn't keep my foundation on well. it was super expensive and I don't recommend it for super oily skin.
I finally found the primer for me!! Thank you cover fx! This definitely mattifies the skin without drying it out. My Ysl foundation glides on it like butter and helps me have gorgeous glow in the right places. What I love this primer doesn't feel siliconish and have salicylic acid which helps treat and prevent acne. Hearing that ingredient is music to my esthetician ears. If you have oily or combo and acne problems try this!!!
I've tried a ton of different ways for my oily skin to take makeup and not be an oil slick by the end of my work day and this has finally solved the problem. Not only does this primer help my makeup stay longer, I don't get that crazy-greasy shine. My face stays matte for 8+ hours!
Also, I've noticed, even after just the first use, that it helps to clear up my skin. The Anti-Acne treatment is a total plus!
Definitely my new favorite primer!
I have an oily t-zone and acne prone skin. I have used many primers before and the only thing that comes close to this is the Smashbox one. This is my new favorite primer for the kind of skin I have. It goes on and makes my skin feel so amazing and soft. And it definitely does its job! My skin hasn't reacted adversely to it at all and I believe, in the short amount of time I have been using it, it is REALLY helping my skin out as it recovers from using MAC foundation.
I really liked this product. I got it as a sample size and used it underneath my foundation. It really my skin matte and not oily throughout the day. The only reason it's not 5 stars is because if you have it sitting and don't shake it first it can come out very oily.
Not as a great of a product as I had anticipated per the reviews. This is yet another product that leaves a white crumb like residue all over my face.
Best primer I have ever used.
I have very oily, acne-prone skin. I've tried all different kinds of primers from many different lines, and this is the first one that not only controls the oil for a good 6 to 8 hours (instead of being an oil slick I'm just "dewy"), but my pores and skin texture have improved.
As others have mentioned, my only complaint is that the tubes do feel half fill, and it is on the pricey side. That said, it works. It is the first primer I've ever bought a second time.
I was using MAC Prep + Prime Skin Refined Zone Treatment but I have been switching over to all vegan products. This is also cheaper - $16 for 15 ml versus $21 for 15 ml. It's not quite as good as MAC but pretty close. I'm happy with it and will keep using it.


"Shillet Hamal" is a Palestinian production that was made possible through a grant from Culture Resource Production Awards Program. The song deals with the seclusion that a person deals with when they feel like they don't belong to what is prevalent in society because they feel different in terms of mentality and ideology.
The video clip is inspired by all individuals who chose unconventional paths for their careers, and seeking creativity and innovation, the expression of new ideas for people without a voice, and the creation of a relatively unique space for disseminating humanitarian values such as faith in people's autonomous capacities, the right to differ constructively, the freedom of expression that respects the freedom of others, and the ability to follow one's dreams.
The airplane scene was filmed with Nablus and includes local dancers who have chosen these atypical paths in their life according to society. They have created their own community where they are able to express themselves and flourish as artists.
The message of the song is a simple and a complex human message at the same time. It examines the margins of freedom of expression and how Arab youth can live a satisfied life.
Lyrics and Direction by Bashar Murad. This is Bashar's second work in the Arab pop style. In January of this year, the song "IlKul 3am Bitjawaz" was released, which deals with societal pressure on youth to get married.
Bashar was born in a musical family in 1993. He was surrounded by a creative and artistic environment since his youth and this created an early relationship between Bashar and music.
Bashar writes songs in both English and Arabic that reflect the experience of East Jerusalemites. His words address social issues including self-acceptance, tolerance, gender equality, marriage pressure, and Israeli occupation.


This week, I am super excited for Sky in the Deep by Adrienne Young! I actually have an ARC of this from Teen Advisory Board I'm on, and by the time this publishes, I might have already read it. There are so many awesome looking YA high fantasies coming out this year, and I am down for it! All the reviews I've read talk about how amazing it is, and I cannot wait to devour it! Plus, look at that cover! See how gorgeous it is! A pretty cover isn't everything, but it sure drags me in!


In June 2016 Public Opinion Research Centre included a block of questions connected to genetically modified food. Specifically, it was investigated whether respondents are familiar with the issue. Respondents commented their interest in genetically modified food. Subsequently, how often respondents monitor data on genetically modifying food or product ingredients on product labels. The last part of the block was a set of statements regarding the safety of eating such food, scientific knowledge of their impact on human health and the buying genetically modified food. The report also offers some comparison of the results of research by the Pew Research Centre in the US.
