Full Name: Jesse James
Hometown: Lynwood, CA
Relationship Status: Married to Alexis DeJoria
Before Jesse James proclaimed himself "the most hated man in the world," he was the tattooed CEO of West Coast Choppers, a custom motorcycle manufacturer.
Born on April 19, 1969 in Lynwood, Calif., James' shop has made bikes for clientele like Kid Rock, Shaquille O'Neal and Tyson Beckford. In 2003, he hosted the reality show, Monster Garage — about transforming ordinary vehicles into extraordinary machines. And in 2009, he appeared on the second season of Celebrity Apprentice.
In 2005, James married actress Sandra Bullock. The couple met after she arranged a tour of the Monster Garage set with her godson and began dating shortly after.
But his marriage to the Oscar winning actress wasn't his first — it was his third. He divorced his first wife, Karla James, in 2002 after almost 10 years together. The couple had two children: a daughter, Chandler, and son, Jesse, Jr. His second wife, adult film star Janine Lindemulder, married in 2002 and share a daughter, Sunny. They divorced in 2004.
In March 2010, stripper Michelle "Bombshell" MCGee claimed she had an affair with James while Bullock was filming The Blind Side. Shortly after, more women came forward claiming affairs. As their relationship began to crumble, it was announced that Bullock and James adopted a son from New Orleans, Louis, in January.
The couple's divorce was finalized in June 2010. James announced his engagement to tattoo artist Kat von D (real name: Katherine von Drachenberg) in January 2011.

Can You Correctly Guess These STD's?
by Alisha Bridges Patient Advocate
Did you know that more than half of all people will be infected with an STD at some point in their life? Or that STDs can be traced to basically 30 forms of bacteria, viruses, and parasites? The Center for Disease Control recently provided new information about the most common STDs, and some may shock you. So get up-to-date with the latest developments by taking this quiz to test your knowledge and find out what's new.
Quiz: Which STD "changes shape"?
This new sexually transmitted disease began with a mosquito bite and first started to spread in Africa, Southeast Asia, and Pacific Islands. When it was discovered in Brazil, researchers found that the disease can be transmitted sexually by men. Additionally, the government of EL Salvador has warned women not to get pregnant for the next two years due to the effects of the virus on the fetuses of pregnant women. What is it?
The Zika virus
Those infected experience symptoms that are usually mild and the remedy is quite simple. People are urged to get rest, drink plenty of water, and take Tylenol. The biggest concern, however, has to do with how the virus affects the fetuses of pregnant women. In unborn babies, it can cause Microcephaly, a condition in which babies have an abnormally smaller, deformed head and underdeveloped brain.
Zika symptoms
According to the CDC the range of symptoms the Zika virus can cause include seizures, developmental delay in speech or other developmental milestones (like sitting, standing, and walking), Intellectual disability (decreased ability to learn and function in daily life), difficulties with movement and balance, feeding problems such as difficulty swallowing, hearing loss and vision problems.
Quiz: What is the most popular STD?
The CDC states that there are 1.4 million cases of this disease reported annually, which makes it the most common STD. People between the age of 20 and 24 have the highest infection rates. Currently, the biggest news about the disease is that it's being spread by koalas in Australia.
Prior to its discovery in 1907, it was common for people to die due to compilations from the disease. Now, the disease can usually be cleared with antibiotics and researchers are developing a vaccine to prevent infections. Still, not getting diagnosed can lead to serious health complications, especially for women. You can protect yourself from contracting this STD by using condoms.
Quiz: Which STD is referred to as "the super strain"?
This STD is the second most common among them and is increasingly becoming more difficult to treat. While a 10-day course of antibiotics will usually rid a person's body of the disease, there are now forms of the bacteria that have evolved into antibiotic resistant "super strains." Seventy-three percent of those who contract the disease are more likely to contract another STD within a year.
The Health Research Funding Organization reports that while condoms may reduce your risk of contracting Gonorrhea, they don't offer 100 percent protection. The bacteria can still enter the body through open cuts or sores in an infected area not covered by the condom. This is another STD that can cause serious health complications, though not necessarily death.
Alisha Bridges
Alisha Bridges has dealt with psoriasis since 7 years old after a bad case of chicken pox triggered her disease to spread on over 90% of her body. For years she hid in shame afraid of what people would think of such a visible disease. She has suffered from depression, anxiety, and panic attacks due to psoriasis. Years ago Alisha wrote a letter entitled "My Suicide Letter." The letter was not about actually killing herself but killing parts of her like low self-esteem, fear, and shame so she could truly live to her fullest potential. This proclamation catapulted her into psoriasis and patient advocacy. Following this letter she created a blog entitled Being Me In My Own Skin where she gives intimate details of what it's like to live with psoriasis. Alisha is a community ambassador for the National Psoriasis Foundation and has served her community in countless ways to help give a better understanding of what's it's like to live with psoriasis. Her life motto is the following: "My purpose is to change the hearts of people by creating empathy and compassion for those the least understood through transparency of self, patient advocacy, and dermatology." Alisha is also a Social Ambassador for the HealthCentral Skin Health Facebook page.

The aircraft approached slightly faster then usual to counter gusty conditions from the 16-20 knots headwind. The aircraft landed on runway 27 but to be steered left off the runway in order to avoid overrunning into a 24 feet embankment. The aircraft dropped down a 5 feet embankment and went up on its nose.

On Friday, 8 May 2015, the World Health Organization (WHO) unveiled its 19th WHO Model of Essential Medicines (April 2015).
With respect to cancer drugs (Section 8.2, Cytoxic and Adjuvant Medicines), the Executive Summary noted that the Committee added 16 new medicines.
These medicines will be included on the complementary list of the EML for the treatment of specific cancers. The Committee recommended that the Model Lists should specify the cancers for which use of each medicine is recommended. Among the medicines recommended are some high-cost medicines including imatinib, trastuzumab and rituximab. The Committee also recommended, among others, the addition of aromatase inhibitors, bendamustine, capecitabine, cisplatin, oxaliplatin and transretinoic acid.
It should be noted that in January 2013, Knowledge Ecology International (KEI), the University of California (San Francisco), Universities Allied for Essential Medicines (UAEM), Third World Network (TWN) and Young Professionals Chronic Disease Network: YP-CDN submitted a Proposal for the Inclusion of Trastuzumab in the WHO Model List of Essential Medicines for the Treatment of HER2-Positive Breast Cancer to WHO's Expert Committee on the Selection and Use of Essential Medicines. Credit for this quiet revolution in the WHO EML which saw the addition of costly cancer drugs (imatinib, trastuzumab and rituximab) must go to the World Health Organization's Department of Essential Medicines and Health Products (EMP) in shepherding the review of subsection 8.2 on Cytoxic and Adjuvant Medicines (cancer medicines) and the Union for International Cancer Control (UICC) and its partners for conducting a Cancer Medicines Review in 2014.
For the treatment of multi-drug resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB), extensively drug resistant tuberculosis (XDR) and pre-XDR, the Expert Committee recommended the addition of bedaquiline, delamanid and linezolid to the complementary list, and the addition of terizodone(as an alternative to cycloserine) to the core list. Similarly, linezolid and terizidone were recommended for the EMLc. The Committee supports the use of these medicines recommended in WHO guidelines, with careful selection of patients, close monitoring to control adverse events and active pharmacovigilance. The Committee also recommended the addition ofrifapentine to the core list of EML and EMLc for the treatment of latent TB infection.
The Expert Committee recommended that a new section be inserted to the core EML to include medicines for the treatment of viral hepatitis infections, with sub-sections for hepatitis B, and hepatitis C. The Committee recommended the addition of entecavir and tenofovir for the treatment of hepatitis B, and the addition of six oral direct-acting antiviral medicines including daclatasvir, ledipasvir + sofosbuvir, ombitasvir + paritaprevir + ritonavir with or without dasabuvir, simeprevir, and sofosbuvir, for the treatment of hepatitis C. The recommendations for inclusions were based on the comparative efficacy, increased tolerability and the potential public health impact of these medicines. The very high cost of hepatitis C medicines was considered and the Committee recommended that WHO take actions at global level to make these medicines more accessible and affordable.
Geneva, 8 May 2015 – The World Health Organization (WHO) today published the new edition of its Model List of Essential Medicines) which includes ground-breaking new treatments for hepatitis C, a variety of cancers (including breast cancer and leukaemia) and multi-drug resistant tuberculosis (TB), among others. The move opens the way to improve access to innovative medicines that show clear clinical benefits and could have enormous public health impact globally.
Increasingly, governments and institutions around the world are using the WHO list to guide the development of their own essential medicines lists, because they know that every medicine listed has been vetted for efficacy, safety and quality, and that there has been a comparative cost-effectiveness evaluation with other alternatives in the same class of medicines.
These included new medicines to treat Hepatitis C, which affects about 150 million people globally, killing approximately half a million people each year, when chronic infection develops into liver cirrhosis or liver cancer. The disease is present in high- and lower-income countries alike, with higher concentrations in several middle- and low-income countries.
Until recently, treatment for the disease presented minimal therapeutic benefits and serious side effects. Five new medicines – direct acting oral antivirals – have recently come on the market transforming chronic hepatitis C from a barely manageable to a curable condition, the new medicines have few side effects and high tolerance in patients. All five products, including sofosbuvir and daclatasvir, were included in the List. But high prices currentlymake them unaffordable and thus inaccessible to most people who need them.
Cancers figure among the leading causes of illness and death worldwide, with approximately 14 million new cases and 8.2 million cancer-related deaths in 2012. The number of new cases is expected to rise by about 70% over the next two decades. New breakthroughs have been made in cancer treatment in the last years, which prompted WHO to revise the full cancer segment of the Essential Medicines List this year: 52 products were reviewed and 30 treatments confirmed, with 16 new medicines included in the List.
TB remains one of the world's most deadly infectious diseases. In 2013, 9 million people fell ill with TB and 1.5 million died from the disease. Over 95% of TB deaths occur in low- and middle-income countries. After about 45 years of scarce innovation for TB medicines, 5 new products were included in the EML. Four of these, including bedaquiline and delamanid, target multi-drug-resistant TB.
Here below is a compilation of quotes from various actors in reaction to the publication of the 19th WHO Model List of Essential Medicines.
This is huge. When the WHO Essential Medicines list (EML) was first conceived as a tool for government and healthcare providers seeking to meet the health needs of their populations, medicines were added to the list when they could be made widely available at low cost. But with the addition of new, important medicines to the WHO Essential Medicines List, priced to break the budgets of healthcare systems worldwide, in high-income countries as well as in the developing world, it is clear that the paradigm for the EML has shifted. When the WHO deems medicines medically essential, governments, companies and the international community need to take actions to see that they are made available and affordable. Such a response is especially needed as new medicines are increasingly patented around the world and thus only available at monopoly prices that prevent widespread access. Essential Medicines need to be affordable medicines.
The EML is an essential tool for countries, regulators and procurers—such as Médecins Sans Frontières—alike. The inclusion of medicines just added to the EML sends an important signal that initial high prices should not be a barrier preventing countries from considering use of medicines that can have an important public health impact. Having these medicines on the EML can precisely create the pressure that is needed to overcome pricing and access barriers. The EML can help more proactively signal to manufacturers that they should prioritize registration in high-burden countries, and to countries that they should include the drug on their national EML. EML and the WHO Preqaulitication Programme (PQP) need to work hand in hand to ensure that PQP is strengthened and adequately funded, and can include assessments of more medicine categories supported by the EML.
The Campaign for Affordaable Trastuzumab welcomes the inclusion of Trastuzumab in the WHO EM list. This is an implicit acknowledgement of our contention that HER2+ breast cancer is a public health emergency in India and in many other countries of the global south. Access to so-called "designer drugs" like Trastuzumab has so far been restricted to those who are able to pay the ridiculous prices demanded by patent-holders. That must change. Now that it is declared an "essential medicine", it strengthens our hands in demanding that it be provided through the public health system.
Many new medicines in the new essential medicine list are not available at an affordable price due to patent protection in many WHO Member States. A s result access to these medicines are denied to many needy people. WHO should not only encourage but also provide technical assistance to developing country Member States to take policy measures including use of TRIPS flexibilities such compulsory licenses or government use to break patent monopolies and ensure access at affordable price".
This is a watershed moment for the global NCD community, including patients and front-line providers. The move to add key neoplastics, clopidogrel for cardiovascular disease and landmark Hep C drugs helps re-define essentiality based on clinical need — and not cost or cost-effectiveness alone. We now need to ensure that our governments procure and distribute these medicines in the public sector at the cheapest prices possible, if not for free. Matched financing and pre-qualification processes to empower, enable and deliver these core medicines for NCDs will help move the needle – now, not tomorrow for millions of patients with NCDs.
This is nothing short of a game-changer, getting as of yet still costly drugs on the WHO EML, it is – simply put, a demonstration of priorities, that we needs these life-saving medications to be cheaper, and we need them now. It is a symbolically powerful step and the WHO is on the right side of history here.

Q: Mapping a composite foreign key to a composite primary key I'm having problems mapping composite keys in jpa / hibernate. The parent entity and the child entity both have composite primary keys.
I have been able to use @mapsId when the parent entity has a simple key and the child has a composite key.
In the hibernate documentation they use @JoinCoumns in the mapping to demonstrate mapping two composite keys. But in their example its not clear where those column references are defined.
I have the following:
@Embeddable
public class PriceRequestLegKey implements Serializable {
   @Column(name = "leg_request_id")
   private String requestId;
   @Column(name = "display_index")
   private int displayIndex;
   ...
}

@Embeddable
public class AllocationKey implements Serializable {

   @Column(name = "leg_request_id")
   private String requestId;
   @Column(name = "display_index")
   private int displayIndex;
   @Column(name = "allocation_index")
   private int allocationIndex;
   ...
}

@Entity(name = "PriceRequestLeg")
public class PriceRequestLegModel {

   @EmbeddedId
   private PriceRequestLegKey legKey;
   @OneToMany(cascade = CascadeType.ALL)
   @JoinColumns({
      @JoinColumn(name = "leg_request_id", referencedColumnName = "leg_request_id"),
      @JoinColumn(name = "display_index", referencedColumnName = "display_index")
   })
   private List<AllocationModel> allocations;
   ...
}

@Entity(name = "Allocation")
public class AllocationModel {

   @EmbeddedId
   private AllocationKey allocationKey;
   @ManyToOne
   @MapsId
   @JoinColumns({
      @JoinColumn(name = "leg_request_id", referencedColumnName = "leg_request_id"),
      @JoinColumn(name = "display_index", referencedColumnName = "display_index")
   })
   private PriceRequestLegModel leg;
   ...
}

At runtime when saving it gives the follow exception:
org.springframework.orm.jpa.JpaSystemException: could not get a field value by reflection getter of com.lbg.legato.rfq.data.entity.AllocationKey.displayIndex; nested exception is org.hibernate.PropertyAccessException: could not get a field value by reflection getter of com.lbg.legato.rfq.data.entity.AllocationKey.displayIndex

Which I assume is spurious as there are getters and setters. I also get the same error if I use mappedBy="leg" on the priceRequestLegModel and @MapsId on the AllocationModel. Could anyone point out what I'm doing wrong here?

A: You should restore the mappedBy="leg" to the PriceRequestLegModel @OneToMany annotation:
@Entity(name = "PriceRequestLeg")
public class PriceRequestLegModel {

   @EmbeddedId
   private PriceRequestLegKey legKey;
   @OneToMany(mappedBy="leg", cascade = CascadeType.ALL)
   private List<AllocationModel> allocations;
   ...
}

Then you should change AllocationKey to reference PriceRequestLegKey:
@Embeddable
public class AllocationKey implements Serializable {

   PriceRequestLegKey legKey; // corresponds to PK type of PriceRequestLegModel
   @Column(name = "allocation_index")
   private int allocationIndex;
   ...
}

And then set the value of the Allocation.leg @MapsId annotation appropriately:
@Entity(name = "Allocation")
public class AllocationModel {

   @EmbeddedId
   private AllocationKey allocationKey;
   @ManyToOne
   @MapsId("legKey")
   @JoinColumns({
      @JoinColumn(name = "leg_request_id", referencedColumnName = "leg_request_id"),
      @JoinColumn(name = "display_index", referencedColumnName = "display_index")
   })
   private PriceRequestLegModel leg;
   ...
}

Some examples like this are in the JPA 2.2 spec section 2.4.1.

Father and Son: Soldier's dad travels over one thousand kilometres to hug his child at Zaporozhye military station
Military supply corps volunteer Viсtor knows first-hand about long journeys into some very dangerous places. However, his latest missions have involved a one-thousand-kilometre drive to Zaporozhye, at the heart of the Ukraine conflict – to see his soldier son, Artem.
Footage taken on December 15 shows Victor, in his camouflage jacket, hugging Artem, in military uniform with a submachine gun slung across his shoulder. It was their first meeting in three months, while the exact location of the reunion was not disclosed.
24-year-old Artem – call sign 'Zina' – was born and brought up in the Ramensky district of Moscow region. He received a summons in the first days of Russia's partial mobilisation.
During their initial meeting, Victor explained that he had joined the supply volunteer corps, providing equipment and rations in the field. He had discovered that his colleagues were going to Zaporozhye and jumped at the chance to go with them and meet up with his son, with the Russian military putting them in touch.
The two are also seen at their second meet-up, in footage captured on Monday, January 16, as Victor delivered further packages; parcels to soldiers from relatives and military equipment for the troops.
The proud dad confessed that he would go anywhere for his child.
"Do you think a loving father would go to the ends of the earth to visit his loving son anyway? I'll tell you this: no one and nothing will stop me if I have to," he promised.
Artem also shared his thoughts on his father's arrival for the second time.
"Emotions are very strong and it is very hard to contain them … It also helps to lighten up the spirits, it feels as if you have been home, and it gives you much more motivation, strength," he commented.
Zaporozhye itself is one of four regions, also including the Donetsk and Lugansk People's Republics and Kherson, that President Vladimir Putin agreed to admit to the Russian Federation, signing accession documents on September 30.
According to Moscow, it followed referenda in which people living in those areas exercised their right to self-determination and requested to join Russia.
Ukraine and its international allies condemned the move, calling it an annexation of Kiev's sovereign territory.

A company who love to see organisations prosper, grow and succeed through their people. Profectus 4 People value individuals and strongly believe we all have the capacity to change, grow, and succeed through personal development.
Something quirky yet bold was required, and Profectus 4 People needed a strong symbol and dependable face. It demanded something that teaches us, that with the right direction we can stand tall and proud and project ourselves with confidence in order to succeed in whatever we do.


Beckett Grading Services (BGS) is offering to grade your modern era cards without sub-grades.
The company announced Monday that it would offer the new single grade option at a lower price than its usual service that features separate sub-grades for corners, edges, centering and surface. Those ratings are used to determine and help explain the overall grade of the card. The cost will be $1 less than the normal service per card. The service is available now, but customers will have to contact a sales rep first.
Beckett Vintage Grading (BVG) dropped sub-grades from its labels in 2005.
Jeromy Murray, Director of BGS, wrote a letter to customers indicating increased demand is one reason for the move. He says the current "boom" in sports cards has led to more submissions.
Presumably, eliminating sub-grades would enable to BGS to increase the number of cards it's able to authenticate and grade. Beckett isn't doing away with sub-grades, just offering the option to bypass them as a cost savings. It's something collectors or those who submit in bulk may utilize for less valuable cards they'd still like to have graded.
Any card given a '10' rating will automatically receive sub-grades.

9GAG — интернет-платформа и социальная сеть. Пользователи загружают и делятся контентом, сделанным ими лично или взятым с других сайтов. Офис 9GAG находится в Маунтин-Вью. Со дня основания, 12 апреля 2008, и до сегодняшнего дня сайт сильно вырос и заполучил больше 34 миллионов лайков в Фейсбуке, 8 миллионов читателей в Твиттере и 46 миллионов подписчиков в Инстаграме. Он является одним из самых успешных сайтов, входя в Топ-200 веб-сайтов и его стоимость примерно составляет 56 млн долларов США.

История
Сайт был основан в 2008—2009 годах студентом Гонконгского Университета , его братом Крисом Чаном, и другими желающими создать альтернативную онлайн-платформу для общения, на которой пользователи могли легко поделиться юмористическими фотографиями или видео. В интервью 2012 года Рэй Чан отказался пояснить, откуда происходит название «9GAG».

Начиная, как сайт «просто для удовольствия», создатели 9GAG начали использовать 9GAG как резюме-строитель для программы по ускорению 500 Startups. Во время летней программы, на 9GAG команда работала над другими стартап-идеями, в том числе StartupQuote и Songboard. После программы 500 Startups, 9GAG участвовал в инкубаторе Y Combinator и его пользовательская база увеличилась на 70 миллионов общих уникальных посетителей в месяц. Команда основателей 9GAG прекратила все другие проекты и сосредоточилась исключительно на 9GAG. За помощь и наставничество они выплатили акции для 500 Startups.

В июле 2012 года, 9GAG дополнительно получили 2,8 миллионов долларов в финансирование от Кремниевой долины на базе венчурного капитала, включая «True Ventures» и . Компания позже выпустила приложение на платформе iOS для iPhone.

В августе 2012 года, 9GAG получил ещё 2,8 миллионов в финансирование от венчурных капиталистов Кремниевой долины, в том числе «True Ventures» и «Greycroft Partners», а также индивидуальных инвесторов, как Кристофер Сакка, , и Навал Равикант. Эти средства помогли поддержать рост команды 9GAG как в Гонконге, так и в Кремниевой долине.

Разработка мобильного приложения
9GAG имеет мобильные приложения для iOS, Android, Windows Phone 8 и BlackBerry 10.

В июле 2012 года, 9GAG запустила приложение для iOS и Android. Мобильное приложение является модернизированной версией сайта для просмотра веб-контента. Летом 2014 9GAG запущен 9CHAT. 9GAG пользователи могут входить в свою учётную запись и писать незнакомым людям, послав им сообщение. 9CHAT улучшился благодаря включению групп в различных разделах. Стало возможно создавать беседы с несколькими людьми одновременно. В январе 2015 года, 9GAG запустил свою первую игру под названием «9GAG Redhead redemption».

Контент
 Содержание сайта в основном состоит из «Интернет-мемов». За них можно голосовать положительно и отрицательно, а также записи комментируются пользователями, основываясь на популярности в данный момент времени.
 Как и на других социальных сайтах, как Reddit и Digg, на 9GAG используют пользовательский контент, который является общим для всего сообщества. «мемы» имеют разные категории, они обычно являются юмористическими картинками или комиксами с подписями, передающие определённые послания обществу.
 Контент разделяется на следующие основные категории: горячее, популярное, свежее, телевидение, девушки, комиксы, эротика, косплей, глупое, своевременное, мемы, WTF, и несколько других, таких как милота, еда, GIF-файлы. Веб-сайт позволяет пользователям голосовать за или против мема, который подкрепляется длинным потоком комментариев, где пользователи комментируют изображения/видео и отвечают на комментарии друг друга.
 Большинство контента 9GAG, представленного в виде картинок-мемов, с изображёнными на них животными например, Пёс-советчик, имеет тенденцию быть самым популярным.
 Другие популярные мемы — это Медведь-исповедник, Чрезмерно привязанная девушка, Проблемы Первого мира, Неловкий Пингвин, Подонок Стив, Невезучий Брайан, Пингвин-социопат, и ряд других.
 На этих изображениях, как правило, надписи идут сверху вниз. Верхняя надпись описывает определённую ситуацию, а в нижней надписи обычно идёт дополнение к верхней, добавив сообщению юмористический оттенок.
 Мемы обычно представлены в виде 4х4 комикса.
 «Rage meme» комикс стал мемом, изображающим раздражительное происшествие, где последний кадр изображения отображаются буквы «FU» (то есть первые две буквы слова «fuck»).
 Rage комиксы позже стали делиться на мемы, с героями комиксов «все прошло лучше, чем ожидалось» и «навсегда один».
 Особенно популярны в последнее время стали комиксы Polandball.

Культура сайта
 Пользователей 9GAG обычно называют «9gaggers».
 Большинство выходов на сайт происходит в общественных местах, как школы или на рабочем месте.
 По словам создателя Рэя Чана, 9GAG должен быть платформой «куда люди будут идти, когда они хотят, чтобы убить время и посмеяться».

her poop scattered all over the front yard. her home. I left, but I return and find her poop scattered all over the front yard. maybe she had a wonderful life, maybe her life is pooping all over the front yard. I could find out. I should cross the front yard and ask, but I leave and return . . .


The striker routine was already ready for substitution when Marko Arnautovic scored 1-0 for Austria. For Janko, it was clear at that moment that he would have to take a seat on the bench again.
Vienna – Marc Janko's comeback in the Austrian national team fell into the water at the last second on Friday. The 35-year-old was ready for a substitution at Happel Stadium in the 71st minute, but then Marko Arnautivic scored 1-0 against Northern Ireland, and suddenly everything was different again – the striker experienced the finish from the substitutes' bench.
The fact that he still had to wait for his 67th international and 29th goal, however, was easy for Janko in view of the victory. "When Marko scored the goal, it was completely obvious to me that I would sit down again, because it wouldn't have made sense to hit me," said the Lugano professional on Saturday.
Team boss Franco Foda didn't need any explanation. "I saw it the same way he did at that moment. If I had been a coach, I would have acted the same way. So I was at least allowed to warm up again in the Happel Oval and did some good sprints," Janko smiled. ReelRush is one of the most vibrant games in a long time.
It remains to be seen how long Janko will be available as an emergency nail for the ÖFB-Tem, because a career end is not in sight for the time being. "I want to play football as long as I enjoy it and feel good physically," said the goalie, whose contract with Lugano expires next summer.


I'm finally starting to get less Grinchy and more Christmassy and 3 things have helped. The first is I can finally decorate my SL house with lots of sparkly stuff, the second is !g0 has started it's Christmas Advent Calendar. this is one of the best Advent Calendars events in SL and I try not to miss a single day as sadly once the day has passed the gift is sealed up and you can't get them retrospectively…unless it's changed since last year. It does cost to join the !g0 group but that has always been a piddling 50Lds and you do need to be in the group to grab each daily gift. I've not opened it yet but I did spot it comes in ALL mesh fits so no probs there.
The third and bestest thing is my NEW MINA and not just a new "do" but a NEW BEANIE MINA!
There is so much to this hair I ended up taking so many pictures even I got confused so I will stick to this basic one and try to explain it.
You get 3 Huds in your pack, 1 to change the hair colour, 1 to change the beanie and the last 1 to change the styling of the hair.
Just pick the shade pack you like best, and remember you get a massive 30 and totally different shades in each pack and were not just talking going from light to dark brown but just browns in all the shades you get in RL. I did also notice that the red pack seems to some very new and unique shades which I certainly haven't noticed before. Lots of other shade packs if you want a bit more to your hair colour, pastels, ombres, black/white etc some are very dramatic.
The Beanie hud has 10 textures in it and although I'm wearing one of the snowflake texture there are some without but its subtle enough that this can be worn any season.
Finally the "styling hud". This gives you 6 ways to style your hair. Hair down one shoulder or the other shoulder or both shoulders or neither shoulder and just hanging down the back but there are 2 new way. This hair comes with a light windblown look to it and you can have it only lightly blown away from the face or a bit stronger.
That's, why you need to try so you too, can see what it looks like on you before you make your mind up, believe it or not before I pick up a new Mina I too always try on a demo. It's rare but no hair will fit every AV.
BTW This hair is only available at "FaMESHed" but expect it to be heaving AND if you do go to Mina's mainshop don't panic as she doesn't have the picture up yet but click on the "new" boards and you can still get the demo, she will probably have the picture uploaded to the board pretty soon as she does keep on top of her new products.
Mina doesn't do an Advent Calendar but for her joining fee of 250Lds even Faith got tempted by her last Group Gift so check those out and if you are in the Mina group already just remember to wear your tag when buying as you do get a discount.

Evangelička crkva u Njemačkoj (njemački: Evangelische Kirche in Deutschland, skraćeno EKD) je savez 20 luteranske, ujedinjene (pruska unija) i reformirane (kalvinističke) protestantske crkvenih regionalne u Njemačkoj. EKD nije crkva u teološkom razumijevanju zbog denominacijskih razlika. Međutim, crkve članice (Gliedkirchen) dijele puno propovjedničko i oltarsko zajedništvo.EKD ima članstvo od 24.832 milijuna župljana ili 30,2% od njemačkog stanovništva (stanje iz 31. prosinca 2007).  Članstvo je opalo na 24.515 milijuna župljana ili 29,9% do kraja 2008.

Samo jedna crkva članica (Evangelička Reformirana Crkva) nije ograničena samo na određenom području. Na određeni način, a druge članice crkve podsjećaju na biskupije anglikanske ili rimokatoličke crkve iz organizacijske točke gledišta. Međutim, crkve članice EKD su neovisne s vlastitom teološkom i formalnom organizacijom. Većina članica crkava imaju na čelu (saveznih država) biskupa. Jedan od regionalnih lidera se bira za predsjednika Vijeća (Ratsvorsitzender) u EKD od Sinode i konferencije crkava. Sve regionalne crkve EKD su ujedno i članovi Zajednice protestantskih crkava u Europi.

Ime

Njemački pojam evangelisch ovdje točnije odgovara širem izrazu Protestant, a ne na užem evanđeoskih (na njemačkom se kaže evangelikal), iako Evangelička luteranska crkva u Americi, Evangelička luteranska crkva u Kanadi i Evangelička luteranska crkva u Engleskoj koriste izraz na isti način kao i njemačke crkve. Doslovno, evangelisch znači "evanđeoska", označavajući protestantsku reformaciju i naglasak na Lutherovo načelo "Sola Scriptura ".

Povijest

Od mira u Augsburgu godine 1555. do kraja Prvog svjetskog rata i sloma Njemačkog carstva, neke protestantske crkve bile su državne crkve. Svaka Landeskirche  (regionalna crkva) bila je službena crkva u jednoj od država u Njemačkoj, dok je njen vladar je bio formalna glava crkve (npr. Kralj Pruske na čelu Evangeličke crkve Pruske u starijima provincijama kao vrhovni guverner), slično poput britanskog monarha u ulozi Engleske Crkve.

To se promijenilo donekle s rastućim vjerskim slobodama u 19. stoljeću, posebice u tri republikanske države Bremen,  Lübeck i Hamburg. Najveća promjena je došao nakon njemačke revolucije s formacijom Weimarske Republike i zanemarivanja knezova njemačkih država. Sustav državnih crkava nestao je s tim istim monarhijama, i postojala je želja protestantskih crkava za spajanjem. U stvari, spajanje je bilo trajno pod raspravom, ali nikada nije ostvareno zbog jakog regionalnog samopouzdanja i tradicije, kao i konfesionalne fragmentacije u luteranske, reformirane i ujedinjenje crkve. Tijekom revolucije, kada su stare crkvene vlade izgubile vlast, Narodna Crkvena Unija (Volkskirchenbund) je osnovana s ciljem zagovaranja ujedinjenja, bez odnosu na teološke tradicije i povećanje utjecaja laika Međutim, Narodna Crkvena Unija se brzo podijelila uzduž teritorijalnim linijama nakon poboljšanja odnosa crkava s vladom.

To se shvatilo da jedna glavna protestantska crkva za svu Njemačku je nemoguća i da bilo koja unija treba federalni model. Crkve su se sastale u Dresdenu 1919 i stvorile plan za saveza, a taj plan je usvojen 1921. u Stuttgartu. Tada je godine 1922. njih 28 teritorijalno definiranih protestantskih crkava osnovalo je Njemački Evangeličku crkvenu uniju (Deutscher Evangelischer Kirchenbund). U to vrijeme, Federacija je najveća protestantska crkvena zajednica u Europi s oko 40 milijuna članova. Budući da je to bila Unija neovisnih tijela, rad crkvene unije je ograničen na strane misije i odnose s protestantskim crkvama izvan Njemačke, a posebice njemačkima protestantima u drugim zemljama.

U srpnju 1933., Njemačka Evangelička Crkva (Deutsche Evangelička Crkva, Dek) je formirana pod utjecajem njemačkih kršćana. Nacionalni socijalisti mnogo su utjecali nad odlukama prvog Nacionalnog sinoda,  putem svog nedvosmislenog djelovanja u uspješnoj potpori Ludwiga Müllera za položaj Reichbiskupa. On nije uspio, međutim, prevladati nad Landeskirchen u dugom roku, a nakon instalacije Hannsa Kerrla kao ministra za crkvena pitanja u Führerovoj uredbi od 16. srpnja 1935 i osnivanjem protestantske crkve Reicha, DEK više ili manje nije igrao neku daljnju ulogu.

Godine 1948, oslobođen iz njemačkih kršćana 'utjecaj, u Luteranske, Reformirane i Sjedinjene crkve okupili su se kao Evangelička crkva Njemačke na konferenciji u Eisenachu. Godine 1969, crkve u Istočnoj Njemačkoj odvojile su se od EKD i formirali Ligu crkava reformacijske baštine u Demokratskoj Republici Njemačkoj (njemački: Bund der Evangelischen Kirchen in der DDR, BEK). U lipnju 1991, nakon ujedinjenja Njemačke, BEK spojio s EKD.

Iako članovi više nisu osnovane crkve, one se još uvijek zove Landeskirchen, a neke imaju taj izraz u svojim službenim nazivima.  Osim nekih manjih izmjena, teritoriji članica crkava i danas odražavaju njemačku političku organizaciju u godini 1848, s državnim crkvama za države ili pokrajine koje više ne postoje. Na primjer, između 1945 i 1948, preostalih šest crkvenih pokrajina (Kirchenprovinzen), svaka teritorijalno obuhvaćajući jednu od starih pruskih pokrajina, unutar Evangeličke crkve stare pruske unije pretpostavljao je neovisnost kao posljedica otuđenosti među njima za vrijeme nacističke borbe među crkavama. Ovo je okrenuloo Evangeličku crkvu stare-pruske unije u puki kišobran, koja je i sama član EKD, ali pokriva nekaregionalna crkvena tijelima, koja su opet i sami članovi EKD. Zaređenje žena se prakticira u svim 22 crkvama članicama s mnogim ženama je zaređenima u posljednjih nekoliko godina. Postoji također i nekoliko ženskih biskupa. Margot Kässmann, bivša biskupica Evangeličke luteranske crkve u Hannoveru i predsjednica Vijeća EKD od 2009 do veljače 2010, bila je prva žena na čelu EKD.  Blagoslov istospolnih zajednica se prakticira u 10 zemaljskih crkava.

Taiwan F-16 challenges US teen's around-the-world flight
The young pilot dared not take a photo of the fighter for fear of provoking the Taiwanese airman

A light plane piloted by an American teenager was picked up by Taiwan's air defense radars while it was en route from the Philippines to Japan last month, the Taiwanese air force says.
The intrusion into the island's airspace on September 19 triggered an emergency interception call-out by the Republic of China Air Force, which sent an F-16 fighter airborne.
Mason Andrews, who hailed from the state of Louisiana, unintentionally entered Taiwan's air defense identification zone while steering a Piper PA-32 Lance in an attempt to avoid inclement weather, the Defense Ministry said. It said warplanes sent warnings to the teenage pilot and escorted his Spirit of Louisiane aircraft out of Taiwan's airspace.
Andrews, 18, was on his way to becoming the youngest aviator to complete a solo flight around the world, according to a report by The Associated Press.
Between Subic Bay, Philippines, and Naha, Okinawa, his radio went out and, while trying to avoid bad weather, he strayed into Taiwanese airspace.
"I was intercepted by a Taiwanese air force F-16," Andrews said in a telephone interview with the AP from Louisiana Tech University in Ruston. He said it was "a little bit scary but also cool" to see an F-16 fighter.
Andrews said he would have liked to take a photograph, but "I didn't want to provoke the Taiwanese airman. I knew he could see me."
He edged back into Japanese airspace and the incident was over.
Apart from getting escorted out of Taiwanese airspace by warplanes, Mason got stranded in the Philippines by typhoons, flew for 10 and a half hours through a sandstorm over Saudi Arabia, and set three youth aviation records.
He had planned to spend two nights in the Philippines, but three typhoons – two of them, Jebi and Mangkhut, of Category 5 – kept him at Subic Bay for much of September before his accidental intrusion into Taiwan's airspace.
The aviation records are not official yet, but Andrews does not expect anything to prevent him from being certified as the youngest pilot to fly solo around the world, and over the Atlantic and Pacific oceans.
Andrews is to submit a fat file of documentation both to the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale, which certifies international air sport records, and to Guinness World Records.
"I will be attempting another aviation world record. No details yet, but there are more plans in the future," he said.

We're Temporarily Changing Our Publishing Schedule
Due to the current pandemic, we've had to make some changes.
by Jude Isabella
March 20, 2020 | 300 words, a quick read
It's difficult for us at Hakai Magazine to witness how the COVID-19 pandemic unfolds around the world and in our backyard in Victoria, British Columbia. We are journalists. We are wired to report on the most pressing issues of the day.
So we're going to do that—but for our good friends at The Tyee, a Vancouver-based independent magazine.
A couple of Vancouverites launched The Tyee in 2003. Since then, this local outlet has had the backs of British Columbians: covering elections, government corruption, environmental and social justice issues, and other news vital to an informed citizenry. Now, their editorial resources are maxed out and with local journalism so hard hit by the economic challenges of the 21st century, we are shifting our resources to help bolster theirs.
Hakai Magazine will continue to publish stories about the coast. For a short time, however, we're not going to publish our usual content of news and features. Instead, we'll keep you inspired with some nature-is-awesome content, much of which is produced by the stellar media team at the Hakai Institute. So many of us need a glimpse of the wild right now.
Before long, we'll again publish coastal-related news, though we'll reduce the production schedule for a few weeks while some of our staff assist The Tyee.
What's happening now is extraordinary and frightening, and for most of us, unprecedented. But part of our job is to help the public keep sight of the long view: how we treat our environment and communities matters to our future resiliency.
If nothing else, the COVID-19 pandemic underscores our need to protect, preserve, and restore ecosystems. From my friend Jane Qiu, a journalist in China, in her excellent article in Scientific American about the emergence of the new coronavirus: "the emergence of new pathogens tended to happen in places where a dense population had been changing the landscape—by building roads and mines, cutting down forests, and intensifying agriculture."

Q: nodejs - Allow request only if coming from the server ip Is it possible to block a route if the request is not coming from the server? I have a http client installed on the server that makes a get request to a web service that I dont want to be public. The problem is that the http client is not logged in the application an is seen as an anonymous user by the server.
This is what I tried so far, but I dont know where in the req I should look for the ip of the requerer or if its the correct way to achieve what I want to do:
function isFromServer (req, res, next) {
    if(req.ip === '127.0.0.1') return next();
    else {
          var err = new Error('Not Found');
          err.status = 404;
          return next(err);
    }
}

//the webservice I want to allow only to the http client installed on the server
router.get('/[0-9]{3}$', isFromServer, function(req, res, next){
    var codecs = req.url.split('/')[1];
    res.render('metadata', {codecs: codecs});
});

A: From your syntax, I assume you are using Express.
In that case, the straightforward way to get the client IP would be:
req.ip // → "127.0.0.1"

You can see the logic it uses, grabbing the first item from the array of proxy addresses req.ips when that array is constructed from the x-forwarded-for headers:
defineGetter(req, 'ip', function ip(){
    var trust = this.app.get('trust proxy fn');
    return proxyaddr(this, trust);
});

In case you aren't using express, try to use:
var ip = req.headers['x-forwarded-for']
    || req.connection.remoteAddress
    || req.socket.remoteAddress
    || req.connection.socket.remoteAddress;

This should take care for most configurations and works in a similar manner to Express's function above.

Thread: "Mores Stuff From Our Restore - Chainplate - Bobstay Fittings - Turnbuckles, Etc"
Great deals for making sure you aren't caught with your sails down. I once had to replace a tang in the Bahamas and was sweating it there for awhile while waiting for one to arrive. Would have been nice to pull one out of a locker.
Bud informs me that the bobstay fiting WS had installed was a actually a fitting for a 32 with the 5/8" clevis pin. Just an FYI. He tells me that the 42 had a 3/4" eye and wider ss piece. Don't know how many 42/43 actually had the one drawn in his manual as a friend of mine has a 43 with exactly the same fitting.

London Rises in Rankings of Most Expensive Cities
Home | News | London Rises in Rankings of Most Expensive Cities
London has climbed eight places up to 22nd in the list of the most expensive cities in the world, according to the Worldwide Cost of Living 2019 survey.
The rankings, compiled by the Economist Intelligence Unit, measure the cost of living in 133 cities around the world. According to their latest list, Paris, Singapore and Hong Kong were all jointly named as the planet's most expensive cities to live in.
Although inflation in the UK has been subdued in recent months, the capital is still a more expensive place to live than it was last year. In 2018, London dropped significantly in the rankings, thanks in part to economic problems surrounding the impact of Brexit. This year however, the city has bounced back. The only other British city on the list, Manchester, has also risen by five places, up to 51st in the world alongside Adelaide, Boston and Lyon.
The rankings, which are produced every year, are based on the prices of 160 items in total, from rent, food and clothes, to transport costs and gas and electricity bills. Living costs are also affected by the strength of local currencies, and the weakening of the pound since the Brexit referendum has been attributed to London's fall in rankings from its traditionally high position.
London shares its 22nd spot with both Melbourne and Milan. Out of the European cities on the list, which have historically been more expensive than cities in other parts of the world, London came in 12th place, while Manchester was 23rd.
A statement from the EIU said: "The previous sharp fall in the ranking for UK cities, which are now significantly cheaper internationally, has been reversed partially in the latest ranking. The slight appreciation in the pound sterling has been enough to cause increases in domestic prices and push London and Manchester up the ranking by eight and five spots respectively. Nevertheless, London is still 14% cheaper than New York overall."
The editor of the report, Roxana Slavcheva, believes that London and Manchester could see rising costs of living this year, to be reflected with a higher ranking in 2020. She said that the UK "has already seen sharp declines in the relative cost of living owing to the Brexit referendum and related currency weaknesses. In 2019 these are expected to translate into further price rises as supply chains become more complicated and import costs rise. These inflationary effects could be compounded if sterling were to stage a recovery."
As well as Paris, Singapore and Hong Kong, the other places to make up the top 10 most expensive cities are Zurich, Geneva, Osaka, Seoul, Copenhagen, New York, Tel Aviv and Los Angeles.
At the other end of the list, Caracas was revealed as the cheapest city in the world. The Venezuelan capital has been hit by political turmoil and hyperinflation of almost 1,000,000%. Damascus in Syria was the second cheapest city on the list, with no European city coming in the bottom 10.
