Дополне́ние в синтаксисе — второстепенный член предложения, выраженный существительным или местоимением. Дополнение обозначает предмет или лицо, являющееся объектом действия, выраженного сказуемым. Отвечает на вопросы косвенных (все кроме именительного) падежей.

Традиционные теории структуры предложения делят простые предложения на подлежащее (субъект) и сказуемое (предикат); дополнение является частью сказуемого. Многие современные модели грамматики, например грамматика зависимостей, считает дополнение, как и подлежащее, аргументом (актантом) глагола.

Главный глагол определяет дополнение: переходный глагол (в отличие от непереходного) требует дополнения.

Термин комплемент связан с понятием «дополнение»: дополнение всегда является комплементом, но не наоборот. Более подробно этот вопрос рассматривается в теории валентности.

Виды дополнений
Выделяют несколько видов дополнений. В русском языке выделяют прямое и косвенное дополнение. Дополнение, обозначающее предмет речи, мысли, восприятия (видеть корабль, сообщить известие), называют делиберативным объектом.

В английском языке выделяют также предложное дополнение ().

Некоторые авторы выделяют также «косое дополнение» (); значение термина меняется от автора к автору.

В китайской грамматике глагол может иметь два прямых дополнения, которые называются .

Классы глаголов
Глаголы отличаются по количеству и типу дополнений, которые они принимают. Например, глагол может получать одно дополнение: «Я покормил собаку», два дополнения: «Ты одолжил мне газонокосилку». Возвратные и непереходные глаголы дополнений получать не могут: «Я сижу», «Он радуется».

Структура предложения
В грамматике зависимостей дополнение всегда находится не выше, чем подлежащее.

Дополнение относится к глагольной группе.

Синтаксические категории
Обычно дополнение выражается существительным, местоимением, либо существительным оборотом.

Иногда дополнение может быть выражено инфинитивом: «Sam attempted to leave». При спрягаемом глаголе инфинитив является дополнением, а не основной частью сказуемого, если его действие относится к второстепенному члену («Я просил его уехать»), а не к подлежащему («Я решил уехать»).

Дополнение может быть выражено катафорой: «I believe it that she said that».

Кроме того, иногда дополнением может быть имя прилагательное либо причастие в значении существительного: «Не возвратить сделанного».

Словосочетания и фразеологизмы также могут быть дополнением.

В русском языке
В русском языке дополнение отвечает на вопросы косвенных падежей (что? кого? чего? кому? чему? кем? чем? о ком? о чём?).

Выделяют прямое дополнение — беспредложное дополнение после переходного глагола (в русском языке — в винительном, иногда в родительном падеже) — и косвенное дополнение (в остальных случаях, после предлогов и косвенных падежей). Например:

 Тренер вручил футболисту его первую медаль.

В данном предложении слово футболист является косвенным дополнением, а слово медаль — прямым.

Прямое дополнение у глагола обычно бывает одно, в то время как косвенных может быть несколько.

При разборе предложения дополнение подчеркивается штриховым пунктиром ().

Stratification of moose survey areas is a key step to reduce population estimation variance. In the Yukon and Alaska, use of fixed-area grids for early winter moose counts combined with the increasing availability of GIS and remotely sensed data provide the opportunity to develop standardized and repeatable habitat-based stratifications. I used univariate comparisons, stepwise regression and AIC modeling to describe moose distribution as a function of landscape level variables for an area in west central Yukon during 1998 and 1999. Results quantified early winter habitat use of upland shrub habitats and support previous observations for early winter moose habitat use in Alaska, Minnesota and Montana. Number of patches, in association with areas of alpine and shrubs, were found to be highly influential for survey blocks where moose are expected to be present and in high numbers. Overall, model performance based on relative abundance of moose was less predictive than for blocks where moose were present or absent. Spatial resolution of GIS and remotely sensed data used in this study (25 m grid cells) provided sufficient spatial detail to generate correlations between moose presence and habitat for a first level stratification.

Milton: Impossible
Please note: Info provided by the Event Organiser
One man. One Mission. Is it possible? No, not really.
Milton reveals the truth about being an international spy, before being given a disappointing new identity which forced him to appear on Mock the Week, Live at the Apollo.
But this is also a love story with the twist, or even a really bad sprain. Just gloriously daft nonsense or is there a deeper meaning? Every man has his price. Sainsburys, where good food costs less.
Milton Jones? You know, the weird bloke with the shirts from Mock The Week! Comedian, writer and actor, whose stand-up is full of surrealism, nonsense and sharp wit. His style of humour is based on mostly one-liners involving puns. Jones has had various shows on BBC Radio 4, at the beginning of which he is sometimes announced as 'Britain's funniest Milton'. 'The wild-haired Jones has raised wordplay to the level of fine art' (Radio Times) 'He's fast, absurd and very funny' (Radio Times) 'No-one can touch Jones when he hits his stride' (The Guardian) 'The best one-line merchant in British Comedy' (Chortle). 'Absurdist, one-line masterpieces' (The Times). Milton Jones was named in Ents24's top 5 hardest-working comedians of 2015.

OK, so we understand why we go through the ritual of taking three steps back and then three steps forward again. But why do we need an introductory verse? Why can't we just jump right our prayer? Furthermore, what is the meaning behind the verse itself?
HaShem Sefasai Tiftach U'fi Yagid Tehilasecha – HaShem, open my lips, that my mouth may declare Your praise (Tehillim 51:18).
Before beginning our Shemoneh Esrai prayer we make an impassioned plea that HaShem allow us to open our mouths so that we can properly praise Him. Talilei Oros on Prayer, an incredible compendium of divrei Torah, cites the author of the Sefer HaFla'ah in noting that, if one truly believes that they are praying before G-d, they should be so awestruck that they are essentially frozen with fear. If we truly believe that we are standing before G-d, who can help with any request, we will be so frozen with awe and fear that we won't even be able to open our mouths! Therefore, we need this introductory verse to plea to HaShem that our mouths be able to even say the forthcoming prayer.
Furthermore, speech itself is a miraculous thing. We too often speak of open miracles and forget the everyday miracles of life. The fact that our mouths open when we want to speak is a miracle in and of itself. We should not take this for granted and therefore start the Shemoneh Esrai as a reminder that even the everyday occurrence of speech is truly a miracle.
The introductory verse can also be viewed as a plea to HaShem for concentration. It's no secret that most of us struggle to properly concentrate during prayers. Our minds constantly drift to other thoughts – what's on the agenda for today, what should I have for breakfast, how did my team blow that game last night. Therefore, as we take our steps back to begin the prayer, we send out a heartfelt request to HaShem to please assist us in concentrating, even for just a bit, on the words in front of us.
Another potential view is that we are asking for the kochos, for the strength, to use our mouths for the correct purpose and to ask for the right things. There's nothing wrong with asking for material pleasures and one should always know that no request is too silly to ask of HaShem. That being said, we should all hope to rise to the level that our requests are truly for the enhancement of our Judaism. We may ask for more money but we ask for it so we can use it for more tzedakah. We may ask for nice weather but we ask for it so that our moods are enhanced and we treat people more pleasantly. Of course, this is not an easy level to obtain and so we introduce the prayer with a plea to HaShem to help us rise to this lofty level.
Lastly, we should note that the text itself offers some fascinating insights. Rabbi Avraham Chaim Feuer makes an interesting point regarding Sefasai (lips). He notes that the Ramban says Sefatai, my lips, is related to Sefat HaNahar, the river bank. HaRav Mordechai Gifter elaborates by noting that man's soul is restricted and stifled within the very narrow confines of his finite body but when we stand in prayer, our soul surges until it overflows the restrictive banks of the body. Sometimes we are so down on ourselves because of mistakes we have made in the past. With our introductory verse, however, we declare that we believe we can overcome the mistakes we've made.
In our next lesson, we'll dive into the first blessing of the Shemoneh Esrai and talk about it in-depth. As we can see here, though, the introductory phrase we first say, and the steps surrounding it, offer some important lessons on how to approach prayer.

Q: Is there a way to see the remaining battery life of your keyboard/mouse on Ubuntu/Linux? I am just wondering. KDE sends me a notification if there is 10% battery life left on my keyboard, which is wireless. But is there a way to get the whole battery status data?

A: On KDE5 the "Battery and Brightness" systray widget also reports the battery level of connected devices (when it can):

(The M705 is my wireless mouse)

A: Battery information is provided to desktop environments by UPower; this includes the battery information for some keyboards and mice. You can see what your computer knows about its batteries by running
upower --dump

For example, on my desktop with a wireless Logitech mouse, it shows (among other things)

Opinion: There but for Fortune
Anti-Libyan Leader Moammar Gadhafi rebel, stands behind his anti-aircraft machine gun as smokes rises from shell impacts in the distance during fighting against pro-Moammar Gadhafi forces, in Sedra, eastern Libya, on Wednesday March 9, 2011. Gadhafi appeared to be keeping up the momentum he has seized in recent days in his fight against rebels trying to move on the capital, Tripoli, from territory they hold in eastern Libya. (AP Photo/Hussein Malla)
In war coverage, the difference between anecdote and tragedy is razor thin. Viewed from home, it all looks like a Bruce Willis film; the bullets and missiles cutting through the air near a reporter's head in battle are enormously entertaining as long as they don't hit. Even on the killing ground, there is an almost festive aspect to a near miss. "That was close," is often uttered with a nervous smile; grim humor substituting for crippling fear. Especially back away from the front, a kind of denial prevails; a jocular back slapping that is often slap happy, hail fellows well met, so near yet so far, fortune favors the brave, no guts no glory.
Then someone gets killed and anecdote and cliché collapse into mourning.
The sudden deaths in the besieged, beleaguered city of Misrata, Libya of photojournalists Tim Hetherington and Chris Hondros came as the two veteran reporters pushed themselves as close to the house-to-house fighting as physically possible. Both men were death's intimate familiars. Hetherington worked with Sebastian Junger on the Academy-award nominated film, "Restrepo," which for a year followed one platoon of the 503rd infantry Regiment, 173rd Airborne Brigade in the deadliest valley in Afghanistan.
Hondros' Libyan pictures published the day he died showed that he was shoulder-to-shoulder with the anti-Gaddafi fighters; enduring the same risks they did as they held their tenuous urban line against ferocious, indiscriminate, unrelenting attack by Libyan government forces.
The pair apparently suffered fatal injury when an RPG, a rocket-propelled grenade hit near their position. Two other newsmen Michael Brown and Guy Martin were treated for shrapnel injuries and are lucky to be alive.
Reporters aren't bullet-proof and we are granted no special protection in battle. Beginning with Afghanistan foreign reporters became fair game. The old days when we could pass for neutral observers are long gone. The violence associated with the "Arab Spring" uprisings has claimed at least four reporters lives, many others have been injured, kidnapped, and abused, male and female.
The irregular nature of the fighting adds peril. There is no disciplined unit with which to "embed." No reliable line to advance behind or safe haven to retreat.
On the Eastern front in Libya, there is only the rag-tag rebel army that roars with bravado until confronted. They fire their weapons wildly, and shout Allah Akbar as if Allah cared about their macho posturing. Then, at the first sign of a determined counter-attack, they run. Their whining incompetence makes them unfit to wear the title 'freedom fighter'; even 'rebel' sounds too grandiose for these poseurs. These gangsters should not be armed by NATO; they should have their asses kicked into shape by French, Italian and British non-commissioned officers who can teach them not to run away when fired on; but to dig in, form a defensive line, send forces out to the flanks, and scouts up forward, and to shoot horizontally not vertically.
But it's different in the western city of Misrata. There, the legend of the anti-Gaddafi-rebellion is being written. This will be the rebels' Valley Forge; their Alamo and Stalingrad. There, courage and resolve are as plainly seen as the overwhelming force arrayed against them. There, as civilians are murdered by indiscriminate shelling and sniping, Libyan freedom fighters and the reporters chronicling their desperate bid for freedom, risk everything to hang on as the outside world debates whether to intervene.
The city of Misrata is being kept alive by its port, which allows meager re-supply of food, fighters and equipment. Access to the port should be guaranteed by NATO. International personnel should be sent ashore and warships brought closer in. An ultimatum should be sent to Gaddafi that any attack on the port will be considered a hostile act against NATO forces and responded to accordingly. The world can not allow Misrata to fall to Gaddafi, not after so many fighters and civilian men, women and children have died; not after those reporters mixed their blood with the fallen revolutionaries.
The people of Misrata are risking everything to rid their nation of the unelected tyrant who has ruled over them despotically for 42-years. The slain reporters had a different motivation. "Tim was in Libya to continue his ongoing multimedia project to highlight humanitarian issues during time of war and conflict," Hetherington's family said. And I'm sure that statement is true as far as it goes. But there is something else going on when a reporter defies the human instinct to run from danger, instead risking everything to get as close to that instant when experience wrestles with fate, luck and circumstance to decide whether obituary or anecdote prevails.
"We were saddened to learn of the death of film director and photographer Tim Hetherington while working in Misrata…Journalists across the globe risk their lives each day to keep us informed, demand accountability from world leaders and give a voice to those who would not otherwise be heard," said White House press secretary Jay Carney. "The United States will work to do everything possible to assist those who were injured in getting the care they need. Our thoughts are with these brave journalists and their loved ones."
My condolences too to his family, which said, "it is with great sadness we learned that our son and brother, photographer and filmmaker Tim Hetherington, was killed today…he will be forever missed." And he will live forever.

BEAVERTON, OREGON, September 18, 2018: Audio Precision announced today the availability of APx audio measurement software version 4.6. With this release, AP has added the ability to perform measurements using the logarithmically-swept sine (i.e., "chirp") in an open-loop configuration, multichannel input equalization, DTS:X support and the automated import of measurement equalization curves.
With an enhancement that will be of interest to those developing smart devices (e.g., smart speakers, smartphones), APx release 4.6 enables open-loop measurements using the chirp test signal. This signal provides multiple, high-resolution results in a brief period of time and now APx users can employ the chirp in test scenarios where the signal may originate, or terminate, as a file on the device under test (DUT) or on a server connected to the DUT.
APx release 4.6 also adds the ability to simultaneously correct for multiple microphones. From left and right ear simulators in headphone testing to a sixteen-microphone array being used for car tuning, APx audio measurement software now provides real-time filter-based correction of all input signals.
Version 4.6 also adds support for DTS:X™, enabling the playback and capture of pre-encoded DTS:X bitstreams by developers working to meet DTS compliance test requirements. For Bluetooth® Duo equipped APx analyzers, AAC MPEG-2 codec support is now enabled. Finally, input EQ curves can now be imported as part of an APx automated test sequence.
Release version 4.6 will not operate (except in demo mode) without an APx KeyBox installed on the user's APx audio analyzer. For additional information on the APx KeyBox, including how to request one free-of-charge, users should visit https://www.ap.com/home/apx-keybox/. The release is available for download by registered users of AP.com and is compatible with all analyzers in the APx500 Series. Use of the open-loop chirp capability with APx515 analyzers requires at least one software option or bundle that contain a supported chirp measurement.
DTS, Xperi and their respective logos are trademarks or registered trademarks of affiliated companies of Xperi Corporation in the United States and other countries.

It's a short 'Thunderbean Thursday' this week as I work on catching up with everything here. The new title, Odds and Ends, was released last week, and the orders, along with others, have us very busy. We're still trying to catch up from everything including other pre-orders, but getting there quickly. We'll give an update next week on all sorts of things…. Including a few surprises.
We've started to work heavily on Puppetoon archeologist Arnold Leibovit's next Blu-ray, cleaning up some absolutely beautiful and rare Puppetoon material. I had planned to do this week's article on just this project, but we'll have to do that next week — there's just too much to cover at this point on the project. It's a wonderful mix of early materials as well as some of the Paramount Puppetoons. I can't wait to show some of what we've been helping with.
The first volume of the Rainbow Parade is nearing completion, and work is going very well on the bonus materials. I love how the set is turning out. It won't be perfect, but I'm so happy we've found what we have at this point. The collectors and archives are key to the resurrection of this series in HD.
The first of the series was Pastrytown Wedding. It's one of my favorites, from the enjoyable music to the oddly angry looking (and Devo-esque) of Pastrytown. Research on the series (and in Van Beuren's productions in general) is spotty at best, and production records long missing. This leaves us to speculate on some aspects of the history.
I'm guessing that the second cartoon in the series, Parrotville Fire Department, might actually be the first, and that its release was postponed, perhaps even postponing the series until Pastrytown was finished. I'm guessing that Parrotville Fire Department may have even been produced around the time of the black and white 'Toddle Tales'.
What is clear is that when Van Beuren folded, the cartoons were sold to a few different companies. I've covered some of that here in the past, but here's a recap: Walter O. Guthlohn, the first real 16mm rental company, purchased the library in 1936, selling and leasing prints around the country. Gutlohn himself died that same year by some records (1938 in others), but the films themselves were branded with his name and distributed with his title cards into the early 60s, either by the Gutlohn company or Commonwealth films.
Gutlohn's acquisition seems to include a majority (but not all) of the Van Beuren b/w output from 1930 to 1934, then the first half of the Rainbow Parade series. Commonwealth films seems to have purchased the later half of the library either by purchasing Gutlohn, or, more likely, having some long term lease on the material. Either way, what is clear is that Commonwealth did acquire at least the second half of the series in 1941. From the paper records at UCLA, it is unclear if Gutlohn sold or leased the first half of the series to Commonwealth, but at some point Commonwealth ended up with the whole series. Eventually, Gutlohn was bought or became Library Films- and perhaps Library films w as acquired by Commonwealth. Teleprompter also owned the material before it was sold to Eastin in 1960.
Both black and white and color cartoons from Van Beuren were licensed to Official Films, including the first half of the Rainbow Parade series. The negatives to a majority of Van Beuren's negatives are lost at this point. Several have shown up in Columbia's negatives, including the camera negatives for Piano Tooners (1932) and Marching Along (1934). Where the lion's share went remains a mystery.
Somewhere along the way, Ted Eshbaugh must have acquired the rights to two of the films he directed at Van Beuren. They appear to have both been sold in the early 40s as commercials. It is understandable that many people thought that 'The Sunshine Makers' was actually made for Bordon's, since those were the only color prints in circulation. Pastry Town Wedding is also quite rare in color.
Eshbaugh's personal prints of both The Sunshine Makers and Pastrytown Wedding are preserved in the very capable hands of the Library of Congress, and we're happy to have been able to scan these from this material. Here is the 'Cushman Brothers' version of Pastrytown with new animation inserted. Years back, we scanned a 16mm Gutlohn Cinecolor print of the short in its original edit, and that's the 'main' version of the short that appears on the set. We're also including this version as well.
It seems clear that Eshbaugh licensed at least Pastrytown Wedding to Official Films, as well as Cap' Cub. The black and white copies of the film have the Cushman's footage in the second half of the cartoon, but its missing the earlier in the film 'new' footage.
My great hope was that somehow the original titles would materialize on this film, but so far, no luck. If somehow you have them buried amongst your own collection (next to your print of London After Midnight) please share it with the world. My guess is that they belong to the ages.
Sure it's a third generation looking print, but maybe it'll assist your crew in the restoration.
Can hardly wait for this set and Flip even more so.
No – that isn't the original title for Pastrytown Wedding. That's a recreation using the three-strip Technicolor 'Rainbow Parade' title card and the Gutlohn card for 'Pastrytown'.
Can't you combine volume 1 and 2 of rainbow parades into one collection after cleanup is finished for those who DIDN'T pre order, After all you said the pre-order would contain ALL the rainbow parades….
Some of the Van Beuren cartoons were sold to Unity Pictures, which merged into Hygo (Samba Pictures). When Columbia/Screen Gems acquired Hygo's library, they obtained their old cartoons and the Van Beurens.
Municipal government records state Gutlohn died in NYC on Dec. 11, 1936 and was cremated the next day. He was 48 years old.
So was Cinecolor an orange and blue two-color process so that the reds and greens are weird to nonexistent?


Under the powers vested in the President by the constitution in accordance with Article 70 (3) (I) of the Constitution, President Sirisena has chose to refer Parliament in this manner.
The new Sri Lankan prime minister, former President Mahinda Rajapaksa, is considered the strongman of national politics under whose presidency the civil war that ravaged the country for more than three decades came to an end.
Leader Ranil Wickremesinghe stated that his party was preparing its next course of action in the event of Parliament not being reconvened this week.
"The Secretary-General urged the President to revert to parliamentary procedures and allow Parliament to vote as soon as possible" readout said.
It has two prime ministers, or at least two politicians both laying claim to be the sole legal head of government.
It has to be mentioned that when Mr Ranil Wickramasinghe was appointed as the Prime Minister in 2015, by the present President of Sri Lanka, he had only 42 MPs backing him whereas the sitting Prime Minister had the support of over 120 MPs.
Sirisena also suspended Parliament until November 16. He argues that he can not legally be removed until he loses the support of Parliament.
Premajayantha said that parliament needed time to prepare to meet and there was not enough time to meet on November 5.


Did you know that according to alexa, www.eBay.com is ranked number 8 out of over 36 billion sites on the web? (36,000,000,000!). On average, it recieves 40 million hits daily, and of that, it's average user views 17 pages. That's impressive! What's also great, is that most listings get at least 50 very targeted views. If you can get listed on eBay's "The Pulse" (most popular internet auctions) you are guaranteed at least 5,000 visitors to that listing, and many of them will click through to your site, affiliate link, whatever makes you money.
Your probably thinking, big deal, it's almost like a ppc. What you probably don't realize is that you have COMPLETE control on the content of your ad (err?listing?). Two to three sentences not cut out to describe your site accurately? Then don't bother with Overture or Adwords, (Or kanoodle, goclick, etc etc) as they only offer you a few senteces.
The price of a listing that can potentially garner you over 1,000 visitors? About THREE DOLLARS!. What PPC campaign can offer you such bulk, targeted visitors with such minimal cost and effort? Not any that I can think of! Another great thing, is that your listing doesn't cost more or less based on your keywords! No more spending upwards of 2 dollars (overture expenses anyone?) for keywords such as "Make Money" or "Real Estate Profits", or even upwards of 7 dollars for keywords such as "Website Promotion." Simply amazing?.
The only pitfall of this is that you must have an actual product to bid on. Many simply don't think too hard about this, and try to sell an email or sales letter, or something of no real value, just so they can justify their listing on eBay. What you SHOULD do however (if you own your own product, this is harder to do with an affiliate link) is sell your own product!
Simply modify and copy your sales letter as your listing. EBay is notorious for quick shoppers who are very irrational when buying things. Candy wrappers selling for over 100$ sound odd to you? Not on ebay. Some eBay bidders actually make it a habit to buy and collect this stupid crap, and resell it all as a "Greatest Hits of eBay" collection. Now that's smart thinking! You want to take that a step further? Write an ebook about eBay mystery auction, and strange auction in general, or a guide on how to think of such crazy idea's and sell that very product on eBay!
You can probably understand why you should consider eBay one of the most unique prospects on the internet. It's like the search engines USED to be, where you are guaranteed hits and visitors no matter what the field, and where being outrageous pays off. Maybe you should check out eBay a little more?

S.F. Chinatown's first daylong arts festival aims to make neighborhood feel safe again
Brandon Yu April 28, 2022Updated: May 1, 2022, 1:15 am

Even before the pandemic, before the violence and economic devastation that has defined the past two years for San Francisco's Chinatown, Mabel Teng and other longtime leaders in the community saw that the neighborhood was in dire straits. Businesses had been suffering for years before the myriad difficulties of COVID worsened things.
"We started organizing because we feel that Chinatown needed something in order to spark its recovery," Teng, the former executive director of the Chinese Culture Center and the first Asian American woman to be elected to the city's Board of Supervisors, told The Chronicle. "Chinatown has been dying."
In 2018, Teng and others gathered a kind of super-team of organizations — Chinese for Affirmative Action, Chinatown Community Development Center, the Chinese Culture Center, the Chinese Historical Society, Angel Island Immigration Foundation, and the Center for Asian American Media — to create Chinatown Media & Arts Collaborative. The nonprofit, Teng noted, intends to unify the strengths of these groups into one fortified voice for not only the neighborhood but for all of the Asian American Pacific Islanders in the area and other marginalized groups across the nation.
"We felt, rather than waiting for somebody goodhearted to save Chinatown, we got to do something drastic," Teng said. "Young people don't come because the community looks old, so we had this dream of creating something new wave."
Out of that effort has come Neon Was Never Brighter, Chinatown's first daylong contemporary arts festival, which will serve as the collaborative's inaugural event on Saturday, April 30.

Taking place throughout the neighborhood, the gathering features 11 installations and works from 25 local AAPI artists. An opening procession and performance will be followed by a slate of experiences and exhibits from augmented reality to a fashion show to sculpture installations to video screenings.
The day's theme is "Chinatown Personified," with installations grouped into six experiences: see me, hear me, sense me, know me, remember me, join me.
Chinatown's "sensorial reality and its brightness and strength, its personhood and its multiplicity and its narratives, is what I feel and what I recall growing up," said festival curator Candace Huey, who spent her childhood in and around the neighborhood.
Part of the festival, which will serve as the official kickoff to Asian Pacific American Heritage Month, will take place in front of the building that will eventually house Edge on the Square, a space for art and education that CMAC plans to build — with the help of a $26.5 million grant from the state — and unveil in 2025.

For the organizers, Neon Was Never Brighter is the first glimpse into a confluence of efforts to envision a stronger long-term future for the community, particularly in the shadow of the anti-Asian violence that has cast a pall over the neighborhood.
"It's very real, and it's not exaggerated," said Huey, who knows residents who have been attacked at random in the streets. Most restaurants and shops, she notes, close early these days: "They're afraid to be out during the dark."
That's part of the reason the festival is scheduled to run until 10 p.m., Huey added, "to kind of give life back, to hopefully make (people) realize it's a safe place to be again or to usher in some kind of brightness in this time of darkness."
The festival is also seen as an opportunity to participate in something that is concrete and tangible in a time when violence has felt inexplicable and answers or solutions have been hard to come by.
"We can have daily, weekly, monthly rallies and webinars and conversations — all those are very important. It's important to speak up, it's important to have dialogue," said Claudine Cheng, president of the APA Heritage Foundation. "But I think the other piece is also to make sure that the diverse communities have an opportunity to really get to know each other's history and traditions a little more."
The event was chosen to usher in APA Heritage Month as a kind of "call to action," Cheng emphasized, and to build solidarity. Organizers hope the festival will bring people to Chinatown from across the Bay Area, paving the way for more unity in dark times likes these and beyond. But most of all, the festival is a symbol of defiant hope — that, with the right organizing might, Chinatown will persist.
"We look at the future with optimism," Teng said. "We feel when Chinatown rises, all the other communities and neighborhoods will also rise. Because we rise together. That's the excitement that we have. We are not in this alone; we're in this together."
Neon Was Never Brighter: 3-10 p.m. Saturday, April 30. Free. 800 Grant Ave., S.F. www.neonwasneverbrighter.org

This short love poem drew my attention the other day. It was scrawled on a wall at the back of a petrol station in Surry Hills, Sydney. You don't often find guys professing their love for each other in grafitti, I just thought it was really cool. I wonder who Dave and Johnny are?
A couple of local lorikeets decided to stop by on my balcony and have a nose through the windows this afternoon. I'm sure they thought they might get a little something to eat but not this time…..it seemed that they were a courting couple as eventually they proceeded to have an afternoon shag on my railings, charming!
Paddington Reservoir is a brand new urban park in the Sydney suburb of Paddington (funnily enough). It opened on 29th March 2009 and I finally got a chance to have a wander around a couple of weeks ago. What makes this space really interesting is it's history. It started life as a water reservoir in 1878 and lasted until 1899.
It then became a garage and workshop for the Metropolitan Water, Sewerage and Drainage Board, and later a service station, until it was acquired by the Paddington Municipal Council for much-needed open space.
Then from 1934, the lower level was leased as a commercial garage. That was how it remained until 1991, when sections of the roof collapsed and the reserve was closed to the public. It has remained in a state of decay ever since.
The revitalisation has made excellent use of the space and kept many original features creating and fascinating mixture of old and new elements. But if you check out the images you'll see what i'm on about.

Olympian Phelps Serves as "Ambassador" to McDonald's, Introducing Chinese Children to American Junk Food
Editor of NaturalNews.com (See all articles...)
Tags: Michael Phelps, Olympics, health news
https://www.naturalnews.com/023930_Michael_Phelps_Olympics.html
(NaturalNews) On the heels of Olympian Michael Phelps' deal with Kellogg's to promote sugary breakfast cereals -- a move for which he was widely criticized -- NaturalNews has learned that Phelps is also involved in a deal with McDonald's to introduce Chinese children to American junk food. According to Xinhuanet.com, a mainstream news source in China, Michael Phelps is serving as an ambassador for a program sponsored by McDonald's to bring Chinese children to the Olympics and serve them American fast food.
But keep reading, and see why Michael Phelps may deserve another chance at being a true hero, and why I've personally volunteered to be his nutrition coach.
Pushing junk foods is an American tradition, it seems. Introduce a nation to our processed foods and junk foods, and in just one generation, its population will need our high-profit pharmaceuticals and chemotherapy drugs, too. Because once a nation starts eating American junk foods, degenerative disease is not far behind: Cancer, diabetes, depression, heart disease, Alzheimer's, osteoporosis, infertility, behavior disorders and a whole lot more. These are the debilitating health conditions caused by eating fast food and junk food on a regular basis. (Just ask Morgan Spurlock of Supersize Me.)
Coke, Pepsi, McDonald's... these are the food industry ambassadors of the United States, it seems, and in my opinion they only bring disease and death to the countries they target. Olympian Michael Phelps is currently an active participant in this "junk food imperialism" that's sweeping through China, ensnaring hundreds of millions of children in a junk food diet that may doom many of them to deadly diseases later in life.
Of course, if you ask Coke, Pepsi and McDonald's, all their products are perfectly healthy and there's no relationship between fast food and poor health. Perhaps that's what Michael Phelps believes, too. But no informed consumer (or even doctor) believes that anymore. It is now common knowledge that sugary soda pop contributes to obesity, diabetes and bone loss. It is also common knowledge that eating at McDonald's on a regular basis is extremely unhealthy. Just look at the nutrition facts on a Big Mac: An incredible 29 grams of fat, 10 grams of heart-clogging saturated fat, virtually no fiber and over a thousand milligrams of sodium! And that doesn't even count the fries and Coke that usually accompany it.
If we want to see China become a meat-eating, environment-destroying, health-suppressing, disease-infested cattle-factory abyss like much of America, then rounding up Chinese children and bringing them to McDonald's is certainly the way to accomplish that.
Michael Phelps introduces Chinese children to McDonald's
To see Michael Phelps serving as an ambassador to McDonald's, actively engaged in recruiting Chinese children to become McDonald's customers, is downright disturbing. Sipping sugary sodas, chewing on unhealthful, inhumane meat products and eating French fries loaded with acrylamides is not exactly the kind of habit a champion should encourage in others. And this doesn't even mention the brainwashing and child behavior conditioning pursued by McDonald's to imprint happiness on children's impressionable young brains, even while they're being fed extremely unhealthful foods that may ultimately harm them.
See the picture here of Michael Phelps bringing Chinese children to McDonald's:
Sad, isn't it? Here's an Olympic champion using his fame to recruit innocent Chinese children into an American junk food restaurant. I guess the only saving point in all this is that when those children need organ transplants later in life, they will have easy access to them thanks to the organ harvesting black market in China which suddenly seems to have a whole lot of kidneys and livers available following the arrest and rounding up of free speech protestors and Falun Gong members.
If Michael Phelps is an ambassador of McDonald's, in my opinion he is an ambassador of disease, death and bankruptcy. America is the world's largest exporter of disease, and Michael Phelps appears to be right at the forefront of this effort.
But it's not too late... can Phelps redeem himself? Keep reading...
What would Michael Phelps' mother think of him pushing junk foods?
Astoundingly, Michael Phelps' own mother has been teaching nutrition to local schoolchildren at the middle school where she works. NaturalNews has learned that Phelps' mother, Deborah Phelps, "...designed and implemented an interdisciplinary, award-winning nutrition and food science curriculum, created a state-of-the-art food science lab and was a member of a variety of school improvement committees."
This is reported on the Windsor Mill Middle School website in Baltimore, Maryland, where Deborah Phelps is the Principal of the school. You can read it yourself here:
http://schools.bcps.org/schools/cms/windsor_mill/principal.htm
What would Deborah Phelps think of Michael Phelps pushing McDonald's and Frosted Flakes to children? If she cares about the health of children, she would likely be outraged at Michael's actions, but we haven't interviewed Deborah, so we can't say for sure. What we can say, however, is that Michael Phelps' promotions of McDonald's and sugary breakfast cereals directly contradicts his own mother's publicly-stated nutrition programs designed for schoolchildren.
Then again, Deborah Phelps probably isn't being paid ten million dollars to design healthy food choices for schoolchildren. She's simply doing it because she has a professional responsibility to her school's children and it's the right thing to do.
In the next article, I announce my willingness to volunteer as Michael Phelps' nutritionist, helping him exceed his eight gold medals by preparing for the 2012 Olympics using the world's most powerful superfoods and nutritional know-how. With superfoods nutrition boosting his performance to even higher levels, Phelps would truly be the greatest champion in the history of Olympic swimming.

The results of the poll illustrated above by the useful Twitter account @HistOpinion were published in the pages of Fortune magazine in July 1938. Fewer than 5 percent of Americans surveyed at the time believed that the United States should raise its immigration quotas or encourage political refugees fleeing fascist states in Europe — the vast majority of whom were Jewish — to voyage across the Atlantic. Two-thirds of the respondents agreed with the proposition that "we should try to keep them out."
To be sure, the United States was emerging from the Great Depression, hardly a climate in which ordinary folks would welcome immigrants and economic competition. The events of Kristallnacht — a wave of anti-Jewish pogroms in areas controlled by the Nazis — had yet to take place. And the poll's use of the term "political refugees" could have conjured in the minds of the American public images of communists, anarchists and other perceived ideological threats.
But look at the next chart, also tweeted by @HistOpinion. Two-thirds of Americans polled by Gallup's American Institute of Public Opinion in January 1939 — well after the events of Kristallnacht — said they would not take in 10,000 German Jewish refugee children.
No matter the alarming rhetoric of [Adolf] Hitler's fascist state — and the growing acts of violence against Jews and others — popular sentiment in Western Europe and the United States was largely indifferent to the plight of German Jews.
"Of all the groups in the 20th century," write the authors of the 1999 book "Refugees in an Age of Genocide," "refugees from Nazism are now widely and popularly perceived as 'genuine,' but at the time German, Austrian and Czechoslovakian Jews were treated with ambivalence and outright hostility as well as sympathy."
It's worth remembering this mood when thinking about the current moment, in which the United States is once more in the throes of a debate over letting in refugees. Ever since Friday's terror attacks in Paris, the Republicans, led by their presidential candidates, have sounded the alarm over the threat of jihadist infiltration from Syria — even though it now appears that every single identified assailant in the Paris siege was a European national.
The Republicans have signaled their intent to stop Syrian refugee arrivals, or at least accept only non-Muslim Syrians.
GOP presidential candidate Chris Christie of New Jersey was one of the many governors who said Monday that they would oppose settling Syrian refugees in their states; Christie insisted that he would not permit even a "3-year-old orphan's" entry.
Today's 3-year-old Syrian orphan, it seems, is 1939's German Jewish child.
"This growing cry to turn away people fleeing for their lives brings to mind the SS St. Louis, the ship of Jewish refugees turned away from Florida in 1939," Milbank writes. "It's perhaps the ugliest moment in a primary fight that has been sullied by bigotry from the start. It's no exaggeration to call this un-American."

Trump Budget Sees $1 Trillion Deficits for Next Four Years
by Jerome Frank
— Mar 12, 2019
Key opposition Democratic lawmakers immediately vowed to block wall funding.
The White House's fiscal year 2020 budget proposes a five percent increase in defense, taking military spending up to $750 billion, up from $716 in the current fiscal year. That report projected muted economic gains in coming years, partly because of the fading impact of tax cuts and higher spending.
One senior administration official said the $8.6 billion in additional funding, combined with the money Trump is attempting to redirect with his national emergency declaration, would allow the White House to complete at least 1,160km of barriers - a figure that has always been a White House goal. The Senate is expected to vote this week on a House-passed resolution negating the emergency decree. The American Civil Liberties Union - one of several groups that may take the matter to court - has already said it intends to file suit over the national emergency declaration.
If Congress and Mr Trump fail to broker a budget package by the end of September, a series of government operations will again be shut down, less than nine months after a record partial closure shattered confidence and depressed the president's approval rating. When we started the conversation throughout a year ago, Democrats were saying there's no national emergency. "The same thing will repeat itself if he tries this again", said House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer of NY. Fresh off the longest government shutdown in history, his 2020 plan shows he is eager to confront Congress again over the wall. The same thing will repeat itself if he tries this again.
"We hope he learned his lesson", the duo continued, adding that the money should be spent on education and workforce development.
While President Donald Trump's new budget Monday reflects White House funding priorities, it has little if any chance of becoming law, as Democrats who control the House strongly disagree with what they consider the bookkeeping gimmickry accompanying it.
"I suppose there will be", he said. "We have a crisis down there".

Update on Ronda Rousey's future with WWE
Therefore, WWE Champion Daniel Bryan may not be on the main event when he puts the belt on the line against Kevin Owens. They also wanted to make the fight as much as a real one and hence it was full intense.
The Trump White House issued on Monday a budget proposal for 2020 that includes the elimination of federal tax credits for electric vehicle buyers.
Warren Gunnels, Sanders' staff director, tweeted: "We don't need a magic wand or a genie to make public colleges free". Trump's request would come in his proposed budget for fiscal year 2020.
Kudlow, interviewed on "Fox News Sunday", conceded that the new request would likely mean a renewed fight in Congress over wall funding. Some of these recent budget deals have not been favorable towards spending.
Trump's budget proposal includes funds for hiring across federal agencies, including US Customs and Border Protection and the Department of Justice's Executive Office for Immigration Review, both of which have already had trouble filling vacancies. "However, the national debt - now more than $22 trillion - remains a grave threat to our economic and societal prosperity".
The White House proposal on military pay matches the 3.1 percent increase indicated in the U.S. Employment Cost Index (ECI) of the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) that serves by statute as the major guideline for military pay. "No president has done more in two years to strengthen our military, restart our economy and reform our government - promises he made while running for office". Some of these barriers are replacing fences that had previously existed, and Democrats have routinely said Trump erroneously claims credit for building walls that don't exist or are far from being completed.
Maya MacGuineas, president of the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget, warned that the debt load will lead to slower income growth and stalled opportunities for Americans.
Just as they did last year and the year before, members of Congress who represent Northeast Ohio are pledging to preserve the program and its funding.

Most people intuitively know that pervasive negative stereotypes are tough to deal with. Now, researchers at Stanford University have found another, particularly disturbing effect of subtle stereotypes. A series of five studies showed that people are more likely to lie, cheat, steal, or endorse doing so when they feel that they are being devalued simply because they belong to particular groups.
For example, imagining a sexist or a racist comment from a boss made women and ethnic minorities more likely to intentionally do inaccurate work, start rumors, or ignore co-workers who need help. In one correlational study, the researchers asked 311 college students whether they worried about being seen negatively because of their ethnicity. The more the college students worried or expected stereotyping, the more likely they were to report engaging in delinquent behavior, like skipping classes, verbally abusing someone, or vandalizing school property.
The research also adds to the growing body of evidence that even slight cues — like reading an article containing a negative stereotype or just remembering a painful instance of being judged unfairly — can have a sizeable impact.
The researchers included Margaret Neale, Stanford GSB management professor; Geoffrey L. Cohen, Stanford psychology professor; and graduate students Belmi and Rodolfo Cortes Barragan. The paper was published in the Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin.
Neale says she hopes the research can help people understand that the responsibility for criminal and deviant behavior lies not only with individuals, but with society.
The research shows that even white Americans, a historically non-stigmatized group, engage in social deviance when they feel they are being negatively stereotyped.
"We can create this in other groups, perhaps in almost any other group," Neale says.
The paper also identified the mechanism connecting social deviance and negative stereotyping: People feel disrespected and expect unfair treatment from others when they feel they are being viewed through the lens of a stereotype. This leads them to defy or undermine group norms, according to the paper.
"Social identity threats feel particularly disrespectful because they are tied to enduring group memberships. Stereotypes convey to people that they are being judged by their group membership and not by their individual merits," Belmi says.
Then the researchers gave participants a test: unsolvable anagrams, so anyone who reported solving one was considered to have cheated. Participants were nearly twice as likely to cheat if they remembered a time when they had been devalued based on their group identity.
The same effect held true for women of various ethnicities. The researchers asked the women in the study to imagine overhearing that they might not get a promotion either because their boss didn't like them or because their boss thought women weren't suitable for a leadership position. Women who heard the latter were more likely to embrace counterproductive work attitudes.
The researchers say that people may differ in their response to being negatively stereotyped. So what differentiates those who deviate from those who don't?
Neale says one factor could be how strongly you hold a particular identity. For example, your ethnicity might be a core part of how you see yourself, so you might be more concerned with a racial stereotype. Or, different personality types may be better equipped to defy a negative stereotype — like a woman or a black American who becomes a CEO in part to prove a stereotype wrong.

How Much Does It Cost To Have Your Car Towed?
Hannah Barton answered
That can depend on a great many different things. Where you live, what car tows are in that area and which company does your insurance. On average you should prepare for the worst and expect around $100. It could be significantly more, but there's no harm in being prepared. Some companies can charge considerably more.
If you are a member of AAA, call them. They will tow it for free to a service centre.
Most tow prices are tallied up as the initial hook up price, then a secondary charge per mile. Again, it depends on the price of the tower, but the average price for the hook up will be between $45 and $65 and the average price per mile can be anything from $2 to $4 dollars. If you have a friend who can tow vehicles, you'd save a lot of money by asking them to do it.
If they have to travel far out to get to your car, they may also bump up the price for that too.
As an alternative, you could ask the service centre to pick it up and tow it to them. They will include the towing in the cost of repairs. You never know, the service centre may have a contract with some tow companies, so you may get it for a little cheaper.
Tow companies may also charge more depending on the time of day. Peak times will likely be after working hours, so after 5PM. If you can get them to tow your car during the day, you may save yourself a few dollars.
In whole, if you know somebody who has their own truck, you could pay them to tow it. It will be considerably cheaper; otherwise you could call your insurance company and see if they can offer you anything. Towing won't be cheap, but if you have to, you have to. A broken car can be one of the biggest inconveniences in today's society, especially if your income relies on it.
TIM D. answered
It all depends where you live, and the time of day, most tow companies charge $35.00 to $45.00 during working hours which is usually 5 PM and after hours the fees varies from $65.00 to $75.00 hook up fee. But, if you used my tow company during business hours it would be $45.00 for a local tow up to 10 miles, and $1.50 per mile after the first 10 miles. And after hours would be $75.00 hook up and $3.00 per mile after the first 10 miles.
Thank you towman. It helps so much to have an idea.

Thank you so much Limj for all this info. I have never used a towing service before. My battery was bad. I had to buy a new one. That was not so expensive.
