Memorandum: For Admiral Sims.
Subject: Co-operation and assistance of the French at Corfu.
Admiral [Dominique-Marie] Gauchet, Commander-in-Chief, Allied Forces in the Mediterranean, now at Corfu on his Flagship the PROVENCE, so heartily assisted and co-operated with us in the establishment of Base 25,1 that I think you would be interested in knowing a few details in regard to this matter.
Although the Admiral very seldom leaves his Flagship, he took the time and trouble to go personally with me and officers of his staff over Govino Bay and vicinity, assigning to our use as much of the anchorage space and shore line as it was possible to do in view of their aircraft activity there.
Before, the arrival of the chasers, he placed at our disposal ships, boats as required and supplied us with twelve sets of moorings – anchors, cables, buoys – complete and had them placed in American Bay by one of his trawlers in positions selected by me. These were spare moorings provided for the nets at the entrance to Corfu, and naturally are very much wanted as a reserve by the French.
He repeatedly stated to me that we were considered on the same status as his own forces and so long as they had anything, or any means of assisting us he would be glad to do so. He made good this statement on every opportunity in a most hearty and cordial way. There was never any delay, or hesitation, or red tape about getting the assistance of the French if they could possibly give it to us.

TIP! Avoid thinking your phone is ruined because it was dropped in liquid. The best thing to do would be to remove the battery and place the phone in a bowl of rice.
It seems there is an infinite number of cell phones on the market these days. However, there are many tips and tricks that work on many of them and make them easier to use. Read on to learn more about cell phones.
TIP! If you have a cellular telephone and need to get information, you shouldn't pay for the charges that go with that sort of thing. You can just dial 1-800-411-FREE.
Don't always get the newest phone. Occasionally, the price does not justify the upgrades. While there are frequent changes to cellphones, some of the changes are not major. Look at reviews online before deciding that upgrading to the newest phone is something you need to do. Many times, you won't.
TIP! If you have a smartphone, you may use it frequently during the day. Turn it off from time to time when you can.
Know that your smartphone will slow down as it gets older. If you update your software, it can help to keep the phone running. As the newer technology rolls out, it comes with updates that are much more powerful. The older phones may not be able to get these updates.
TIP! Avoid having your cellphone near water. This can ruin the quality of your phone.
Is your cell phone getting discharged quickly? It could be because of a weak signal if that's the case. Weak signals can drain the phone's batteries. Never leave your phone somewhere where it has poor reception.
TIP! If you always buy a certain kind of phone, think about another option for once. While you may be accustomed to a certain interface or screen layout, keep an open mind.
Be very careful regarding extended warranties. These just cost you more money. If a cellular phone is about to fail, it mostly happens on the year it is covered by its basic warranty. Many people get new phones every year, so it's not worth the money.
Cell phones get slower with age. So, the longer you own your phone, the more trouble you are likely to have doing updates or even new apps. Many times, you will need to make a decision. You can upgrade to a newer phone or refuse any updates.
TIP! You don't need a smart phone if you only plan on using it to make phone calls. Smart phones are great for folks who like to send email or go online via their phones.
Don't be opposed to doing some actual leg work by visiting your local stores to find and compare cell phone prices. Putting just a few hours one afternoon can mean learning a lot about different models, plans and features. This ensures you get a phone you love.
TIP! Remember that there's no optical zoom on most cell phones. So if you want a close-up, your best route is to move as close as possible.
Prior to purchasing a smartphone, be sure it is what you need. While smartphones are pricy, they include a lot of nifty features. The reality is that some people only need a phone to make basic calls. If this is you, purchasing a smartphone could be unnecessary for you. This just may not be a good choice.
TIP! Invest some time and learn about any applications that are loaded into your phone. You can surf the Internet and listen to good music on your phone.
If you only require a cell phone for voice communications, do not buy a smartphone. Smart phones are great for web surfing and apps, but they aren't needed for those that just need a phone for talking. Since smartphones cost quite a bit more money, you want to invest a smaller amount in a regular cell phone if you're just going to be talking and texting.
TIP! Before you leave town, be sure to have a look at your cell phone coverage map. Likely, any place close by, you'll know the coverage patterns.
When you shop for a new cell phone, don't get overwhelmed by the number of options. Cell phones come in a wide variety of styles and options; however, there are quite a few tips that apply to just about all of them. The excellent insights offered here are now ready for you to use with your phone.

Cake Artist Jack Phillips Has Yet Another Day in Court
(Photo: Rick Wilking / Reuters file)
No one could blame you for thinking you've read this story before: Colorado cake artist Jack Phillips is in court defending his right to operate his business according to his Christian faith.
That's because this is Phillips' third court battle in the past seven years. He has already won twice, including once at the U.S. Supreme Court. Now, facing a third attack, he is more than ready to be done with courtrooms.
"I hope this will be the end of my legal battles and that I can return to my quiet life as a cake artist," Phillips told members of the media last Thursday following a hearing in a Colorado District Court.
Phillips and his attorneys from Alliance Defending Freedom were in court asking a judge to dismiss the claim of activist attorney Autumn Scardina, who is suing Phillips for more than $100,000 because he declined to create a custom cake to celebrate Scardina's gender transition from male to female.
"I love creating custom cakes for all people," Phillips said. "What I can't do is create custom cakes that express messages or celebrate events in conflict with my religious beliefs. And that should be OK because a truly tolerant society tolerates different convictions. The First Amendment protects the peaceful exercise of my beliefs, and it protects my choice of what not to express and what not to celebrate."
Scardina's cake request was "clearly a setup right from the outset," said Kristen Waggoner, senior vice president of ADF's U.S. legal division. "All the way back in 2012, when the first case began, Scardina sent Jack harassing emails attacking his faith, calling him a bigot and a hypocrite."
That first case, Masterpiece Cakeshop v. Colorado Civil Rights Commission, ended with a 7-2 decision in Phillips' favor at the U.S. Supreme Court. The court rebuked Colorado officials for their "clear and impermissible hostility" toward Phillips' religious beliefs.
"When the Supreme Court ruled in my favor, I thought I was vindicated," Phillips said. "I hoped that I could return to being just a cake artist."
But just a few weeks later, the Civil Rights Commission came after Phillips again, this time after he declined to create a custom cake celebrating the gender transition of Autumn Scardina.
Phillips fought back, filing a federal lawsuit against the state. The commission backed down and dismissed the case.
But Scardina wasn't done. Instead of objecting to or appealing the commission's decision to dismiss the case, Scardina opted to start all over, filing suit against Phillips in state court.
That action alone should disqualify the suit, say ADF attorneys. In their motion to dismiss, they point out: "If someone could seek relief from the Commission, participate in a formal hearing, receive an adverse final judgment, refuse to object, refuse to appeal, and then start over elsewhere, the Commission would become merely advisory and its closure orders [would become] invitations for needless litigation."
ADF attorney Jake Warner, who represented Phillips in court Thursday, said afterward that the judge seemed to understand the unfairness of litigating a lawsuit through a state commission, losing and then trying to start all over again in a different court. "The court indicated that it would release a decision later this month," Warner said. "We're hopeful that when the order comes out later this month, that discrimination claim will be dismissed."

A wide range of projects originated from Lyceum No. 1502, among which are a robot stepper, hall sensor, a message decoder and gesture recorder. In early 2012, these projects were demonstrated and won awards in several competitions. They continued to impress the world in June 2012 at the 12th All-Russian Exhibition of Youth Technological Creativity.
Based on the successful development and experience of the Fab Lab at Lyceum 1502 MPEI in Moscow, teachers created a curriculum program for all students in grades 7-9. This course – Basics of Technical Modeling – will run through the 2014-2015 academic year. A parallel elective course is Robotics, which prepares students for robotics competitions.
Influenced by Fab Labs, Russia is redefining innovation and science for youths that exceed the national educational standard.
There are approximately 100 youth innovation centers across Russia organized under the Fab Lab concept.

The Goya HL-1000 board is designed to deliver high performance and low latency for machine-learning applications.
Habana Labs has emerged onto the machine-learning (ML) stage with its Goya HL-1000 processor (Fig. 1). The x16 PCI Express Gen 4 board has a 200-W TDP and comes with 16 GB of DDR4 ECC DRAM. It's aimed at ML inference chores with a forthcoming Gaudi processor targeting ML training. In the meantime, Goya can take advantage of trained deep-neural-network (DNN) models to handle inference.
1. Habana Labs' Goya HL-1000 is based on a VLIW SIMD vector core with Tensor addressing support.
The HL-1000 is designed to manage high-throughput chores with low latency (Fig. 2). Its performance scales well, handling thousands of images per second for standard ML test applications such as ResNet-50. It can process this model at over 15,000 images/s with a 1.3-ms latency while dissipating only 100 W of power. Typical latency in the industry at this point sits at around 7 ms. Keeping power requirements low in an enterprise setting with many boards is critical to minimizing overall system costs. Habana delivers passive as well as active cooled models.
2. The Goya's performance and low latency are impressive.
The architecture is based on a Tensor Processing Core (TPC) that's fully programmable in C and C++ using an LLVM-based compiler. The HL-1000 processor is built on a cluster of eight TPCs (Fig. 3). As with most ML systems, the processor includes hardware general-matrix-multiply (GEMM) acceleration. There are special functions in dedicated hardware along with Tensor addressing and latency hiding support.
3. Multiple, fully programmable Habana Tensor Processing Cores populate the Goya HL-1000.
The system exploits on-die memory that's managed by software along with centralized, programmable DMAs to deliver predictable, low-latency operation. Although targeted at TensorFlow applications, it works equally well with other framework models. The TPC handles 8-, 16- and 32-bit integers as well as 32-bit floating point.
Habana's SynapseAI software transforms standard AI models to applications that run on the HL-1000 (Fig. 4). The tools can import models from MXNet, Caffe 2, Microsoft Cognitive Toolkit, PyTorch, and Open Neural Network Exchange Format (ONNX). It can also utilize user-supplied libraries; a Python-based front end helps automate system operation. The SynapseAI runtime manages resources on the processor. IDE support includes a debugger and simulator. Among its tools are real-time tracing and performance analysis that can be graphically presented.
4. Habana's SynapseAI software transforms standard AI models to applications that run on the HL-1000.
Habana will have lots of competition in this space. Thus, its high performance, lower power, and low-latency characteristics will be key factors in staying ahead of the pack.

Windows 10 April 2018 Update Iso Download
Microsoft recently announced Windows 10 April 2018 Update and the new version of the OS is launching later today, but as the rollout takes place in stages, not everyone will receive the newest version of Windows on day one. Windows 10 April 2018 Update release date is 30th April, but the broader rollout will begin on May 8.
Windows 1803 Iso Download Microsoft
Download Official Windows 10 April 2018 Update Iso Files
Microsoft prefers the staged rollout so that it can focus on the collection of feedback and on the basis of the reported bugs the company plans the schedule for the broader rollout. It is also worth noting that Windows 10 April 2018 Update will be released on Monday to those users who prefer Upgrade Assistant or Windows Media Creation Tool. The approach also helps Microsoft fix bugs before the new feature release becomes available for everyone on May 8.
Windows 10 April 2018 (version 1803) ISO. If you need to perform a clean install, you can use the official Windows 10 Media Creation Tool to get the April 2018 Update immediately. To download the April 2018 Update ISO right away, download the Media Creation Tool. If you're a PC user then you can now download the Windows 10 April 2018 update in ISO format following Microsoft's move which made the files available for download today. Microsoft has now officially released the Windows 10 April 2018 Update, so read on to find out how to manually download and install the April 2018 Update.Microsoft has started the automatic. How to download Windows 10 April 2018 Update ISO images. Microsoft is offering the Media Creation Tool if you visit the company's ISO download page, but there's a trick to grab the ISO files. Windows 10 1803 ISO download links are now available. The new Windows 10 Spring Creators update also known as Redstone 4 is now available for Fast Ring Insiders. This build will roll out to everyone as a final release on April 10.
What is staged rollout?
Microsoft adopted this approach back in 2017 and as part of the strategy, the company ships the new version of Windows 10 to those users who manually upgrade the devices. Microsoft addresses the compatibilities happening on some computers and finally rolls it out to more devices. In other words, the new staged rollout approach delivers smoother upgrade experience.
Please note that users who want to perform the upgrade manually will receive the newest version of Windows 10 today. You can manually upgrade the PC with Windows Media Creation Tool, Upgrade Assistant, or the Windows Insider program. The automatic update would begin on May 8.
Needless to say, it's also a bit frustrating for those who can't wait for new feature update. You can however manually install Windows 10 April 2018 Update on your PC with Windows Insider program, Windows Media Creation Tool and Upgrade Assistant. Learn here how to install the Windows 10 April 2018 update manually.
Disclaimer: The rollout is expected to begin at 10 AM Pacific Time in the US or 5 PM GMT (30th April 2018). The Media Creation Tool and Upgrade Assistant method will only work after 10 AM Pacific Time today. While on the other hand, Windows Insider program could deliver the upgrade in a couple of hours if you're lucky.
The Windows Insider program
The Windows Insider program is one of the easiest ways to install any new version of Windows 10. Here's how to do that:
Join the Windows Insider program from here.
Go to Start > Settings > Update & Security > Windows Insider Program.
Click Get Started and follow the simple prompts to complete setup.
Make sure you've selected "Release Preview" under "What pace do you want to get new builds?". Also select the "Just fixes, apps and drivers" option under "What kind of content would you like to receive?".
Go to Settings > Update & Security and click "Check for updates".
Do not select Fast, Slow or Skip Ahead Ring. If you use the Windows Insider program method now, the update will be available for download within 24-48 hours.
The Media Creation Tool
Microsoft announced Windows Media Creation Tool at the time of Windows 10 launch. Windows Media Creation Tool is one of the best ways to upgrade the computers to the latest version of the operating system. You can also perform a clean installation of Windows 10 April 2018 Update with Media Creation Tool.
You can use the following steps to install the update:
Download the Media Creation Tool from here.
Follow the on-screen steps and select the Upgrade this PC now option, and choose to Keep Personal files and apps.
Keep patience and the system will be upgraded in a couple of hours.
This method will only work when the Windows 10 April 2018 Update rollout officially begins
Upgrade Assistant
Microsoft offered Upgrade Assistant tool to Windows 8.1 and 7 users for installing the Windows 10 operating system, but the tool is still available and it works on any version of Windows. Here's how to use Upgrade Assistant:
Make sure you've downloaded the Windows Media Creation Tool, and simply run the Windows10Upgrade.exe to upgrade the PC.
Follow the on-screen instructions.
Microsoft has designed Upgrade Assistant to make the upgrade fast and simple, so it's a piece of cake and the interface is quite straightforward as well. Upgrade Assistant is a wizard-based tool. In other words, you just need to follow the simple on-screen steps and the system will be upgraded.
The Upgrade Assistant will check your system and confirm if the update is available, and it lets you continue to next step only if a newer release is available. It also performs a small compatibility test where the system will check your storage or disk space.
The Upgrade Assistant will start downloading the update, and it could show a screen telling the system is getting ready with a progress bar. It is also worth noting you can continue working on your system until the update is ready for installation. It is normal if you notice a negative impact on performance while running Upgrade Assistant. The Upgrade Assistant will reboot your computer and the update will be installed smoothly.
It's worth noting that you may skip Microsoft and manufacturer's compatibility checks if you follow the above methods, and we are not responsible if any issues are experienced on your system.
Once you've upgraded your PC to the latest version of Windows 10, go to Settings -> Update & Security -> Windows Update and check for updates. Install any updates available from Microsoft or the manufacturer for the drivers. This ensures a smooth experience.
The easiest option is Windows Update but it won't work now
Needless to say, the traditional Windows Update method is the easiest way to install any newer version of the operating system. However, you need to wait until May 8 when Microsoft makes the new feature update available via Windows Update.
It is worth noting that you may not receive the feature update on day one (May 8) via Windows Update because of the gradual rollout approach.

Q: Nodejs exports and module.exports: Why do we need exports anyway? As I read through the some of the answers on another question on this topic:
I (guess) understand what exports and module.exports are and how they can be used!
What I don't understand is why do we need exports anyway since we can perfectly work things out with using only module.exports. Besides, If I conceive it good: exports has potential to create bugs.
For example:
// feature.js
function Person(name) {
    this.name = name;
    this.greet = function() {
        console.log('Hi, my name is ' + this.name);
    }
}
module.exports = Person;

// app.js
var Person = require(./feature);

var Aron = new Person('Aron');
Aron.greet(); // Hi, my name is Aron

You can simply break this working version with using exports:
exports = Person; // wont' work
exports.Person = Person; // still won't work (until you resolve it as new Person.Person('Aron') or ..require(..).Person) Which is not readable..

Why do we have exports anyway? Can someone explain to me the benefits of using exports instead of module.exports?
Thanks advance!

A: If you are just adding properties to module.exports or to exports, then you can modify either one and get the same result.  This is because both module.exports and exports initially point to the exact same object.  So, if you modify one, the other is pointing at the same object so the change will be seen in either one.  exports is apparently just provided as a typing shortcut so you don't have to refer to module.exports.
So, this is perfectly safe:
exports.foo = 123;

Or
module.exports.foo = 123;

Both create exactly the same result and are both safe as they each just assign a property to the same object.
But, if you are creating and assigning a whole new exports object, then you MUST assign that object to module.exports.  Assigning it only to exports will not do you any good.
The syntax:
exports = module.exports = {foo: 1};

Makes absolutely sure that no mistakes are made in this regard and is probably why it is recommended.

What I don't understand is why do we need exports anyway since we can
  perfectly work things out with using only module.exports.

As long as your code NEVER uses exports, you can just use module.exports and never worry about exports.  You do not NEED exports.  It was likely provided as a convenience, but as you have figured out that convenience can lead to bugs if misused.

Why do we have exports anyway? Can someone explain to me the benefits
  of using exports instead of module.exports?

exports was probably just provided as a typing convenience.  The only benefit to using exports over module.exports is a little less typing and perhaps a teeny performance difference as there is one less property lookup.  Personally I just pretend exports isn't there and I never use it.  I logically think of module.exports as the real location for exports so I just assign or modify there and there is never have a problem doing it that way.

Here's the longer explanation.
When a module is initialized, it is wrapped inside a function that looks like this:
(function (exports, require, module, __filename, __dirname) {
    //contents from file1.js
    module.exports = '123;
});

This is where the definition of module and exports come from.  By default, module.exports === exports when this function is first executed and your module code starts to run.  But, exports is just a convenience here.  The real exports are in module.exports.  So, if you just do this:
(function (exports, require, module, __filename, __dirname) {
    //contents from file1.js
    exports = {foo: 123};
});

That ends up not doing anything because module.exports will not be affected at all and that's where the real exports are.  But, if you do this:
(function (exports, require, module, __filename, __dirname) {
    //contents from file1.js
    module.exports = {foo: 123};
});

Then, the real exports are indeed modified and your module will work properly, but as soon as you execute module.exports = {foo: 123};, you've made module.exports point to new object and it will now point at a different object than exports points to.  So, for total safety, some people recommend you do this:
(function (exports, require, module, __filename, __dirname) {
    //contents from file1.js
    exports = module.exports = {foo: 123};
});

Then, both exports and module.exports always point at the same object.

If you NEVER use exports by itself, then you don't ever need to assign anything to it and you can just do this:
module.exports = {foo: 123};

And, there will be no issues at all.  But, you have to make sure that no code actually uses just exports if you've changed the object that module.exports points to.

My experience with college finances has been a story of stress and worry. I often find myself wondering how I can stretch out each dollar to cover the various costs of attending school while having time to maintain my grades and extracurricular involvement.
Unlike many of my peers, I cannot rely on my parents to take care of my expenses. When I told my mother I wanted to live in off-campus housing for my sophomore year, she promptly informed me that any money I received for my birthday or Christmas would have to go towards rent. I also spent my summer working two minimum wages jobs for a combined 40-50 hours each week.
Now, the precious cash I accumulated sits in my bank account, dwindling month-to-month. I must always remember to be careful and keep a vigilant eye on my account balances. It can be hard to escape the feelings of frustration as I compare my financial situation to those around me.
Of course, colleges also provide many opportunities that can lessen the financial burden on students. With a little resourcefulness, students can dig up some easy ways to supplement what they already have.
Living in the dorms my freshman year, I noticed posters for simple scholarships. They varied in their requirements but did not demand extensive effort. Students who were willing to do brief write-ups or create art relating to a particular subject were offered several hundred dollars in exchange for their work. If you feel passionate about certain topics, some brief research online or talking to a knowledgeable professor can lead to a variety of interesting scholarship competitions that will allow you to tap into your existing passions.
Another option found on campus is to check for flyers that offer quick cash or gift cards for participating in sleep studies or for filling out surveys. Students were willing to pay other students between $5 to $20 for their help in completing research. Flyers were pinned up on public cork boards and were posted regularly in the communal bathroom stalls of my dorm building.
One of my favorite ways to save and even earn money quickly is to look for special volunteering opportunities. I often received emails from both my university itself and from organizations I'm affiliated with about events. Often, they reward the students who work as temporary staff with free meals or prizes. At one local charity event, I received free transportation, a full course meal and $275 in gift cards for only a few hours of work. The events are usually fun and engaging, and can even offer students chances to network and become more involved in the future.
Student clubs usually do not offer financial incentives for attendance but can help cut back on costs in other ways. They may offer funding for travel and attending conferences. On a more day-to-day basis, many clubs offer pizza or other catering options to those who attend meetings. They also regularly give away promotional clothing and swag, further reducing the need to purchase these things on your own.
By keeping tabs on social media and in person for relevant opportunities, an overwhelmed and overly stressed student can pick and choose what opportunities to invest a little bit of time in, allowing them to reap the rewards without the demand of a long-term time commitment.

Tishman said to join bid for 510 Madison
By David Jones
(Updated, August 3) Tishman Speyer may be an investment partner in a new effort by O'Connor Capital Partners to buy out 510 Madison from developer Harry Macklowe, according to court documents obtained by The Real Deal.
Macklowe claims in new state Supreme Court filings that he recently blocked entrance to O'Connor, the junior mezzanine lender at 510 Madison, because the investment firm wanted to bring his archrival, led by Jerry Speyer, to engage in a "predatory" takeover of the office tower.
But a spokesperson for Tishman Speyer said the company is not interested in 510 Madison, although she did not address whether Tishman considered a deal with O'Connor.
Jeremiah O'Connor, the managing partner of O'Connor Capital Partners, filed suit July 23, alleging that Macklowe prevented him from bringing in the new investors into 510 Madison, which he needed to make a counter offer to take over the building.
O'Connor needed those investors to make a bid that would allow him to jump ahead of SL Green, which hoped to foreclose on the building and take it over. O'Connor Capital declined to comment.
SL Green, the city's biggest commercial landlord, reached a deal in June that would give Macklowe until March 2011 to repay $253 million in defaulted mortgage loans. SL Green previously purchased the loans and planned to foreclose on the property, which would make it the new owner at 510 Madison and wipe out O'Connor's $69 million mezzanine loan.
"Defendant has been and continues to be willing to grant plaintiff and its agents, representatives and employees access to the premises," Fried Frank attorney Janice Mac Avoy, who represents Macklowe in the case, said in legal filings. "However, defendant need not, and will not, allow plaintiff to bring unrelated third parties, including representatives of Tishman Speyer, to tour the premises in contemplation of a transaction whereby plaintiff admittedly seeks to obtain equity partners to purchase the senior loan and foreclose on defendant's interest in the premises."
Macklowe's lawyers claim that they told O'Connor six weeks ago that they would not allow O'Connor to share confidential information about the property or bring in a competitor to buy the building out from under them. Macklowe's lawyers argue that O'Connor cannot syndicate the loan because the loan is underwater, meaning the borrower owes more than what the loan is worth.
As the junior mezzanine lender, O'Connor faces the loss of its loan value if and when SL Green forecloses on the senior debt. SL Green previously acquired the senior mortgage for $170 million and the senior mezzanine loan for $15 million, one of several deals it has made in recent months to acquire distressed office properties in Manhattan.
SL Green officials were not immediately available for comment. Macklowe declined to comment.

Cathedral Concerts Welcomes '80s Music Icon Howard Jones
TrinityNetAdmin January 22, 2015
English Musician, Singer/Songwriter to Perform at Trinity Cathedral on March 14
CLEVELAND (Jan. 21, 2015) – Cathedral Concerts, a new concert series exclusive to Cleveland, announced today its next show featuring '80s music icon Howard Jones on Saturday, March 14, at Trinity Cathedral.
The concert will feature Jones performing his numerous hits including top-five singles "No One Is To Blame" and "Things Can Only Get Better," as well as "What Is Love?," "Life In One Day," "Lift Me Up" and several other selections spanning his more than 30-year career.
Jones is internationally recognized for his very English songwriting and pioneering synthesizers. Special to his current tour, Jones has created custom videos for every song performed, which will further enhance the visual aspect of his musical performance at the gorgeous Trinity Cathedral.
"Trinity Cathedral looks amazing," Jones stated. "I am really looking forward to coming back to Cleveland and seeing familiar faces. It's a Saturday night, I have a great set and I know we're going to have lots of fun."
As a part of their plan to share the Cathedral Concerts music series to a wider audience, Cleveland's WVIZ/PBS ideastream will record the show. It will air locally in Cleveland and across the state of Ohio at a later date.
In respect to Jones' long-standing position on animal rights, Cathedral Concerts is partnering with PetFix Northeast Ohio to market and promote the show. A portion of the proceeds will go to benefit PetFix – an organization set-up to responsibly and humanely reduce pet overpopulation and all of the issues that overpopulation brings to our region by making spay/neuter surgeries affordable and accessible to all pet owners, rescues and shelters in Northeast Ohio.
Doors will open at 7 p.m. and the concert is set to begin at 8 p.m. An opening act will be announced in the near future.
Cleveland-based agency The Elevation Group conceived, created and is producing Cathedral Concerts. Cathedral Concerts' first two shows, featuring nationally acclaimed touring act Red Wanting Blue and Academy Award winner Glen Hansard, sold-out immediately.
"Howard Jones is cool… Very cool," said Denny Young, President of The Elevation Group. "He spans 30 years and is still relevant today as shown by his work with EDM heavy weights Eric Prydz and Ferry Corsten. We are proud to be presenting Howard, a true pioneer."
"We are excited for the Howard Jones concert," said the Very Rev. Tracey Lind, Dean of Trinity Cathedral. "Music has been part of Trinity's mission for decades. Cathedral Concerts not only extends our reach, it takes it to a whole new level. Plus, since we host an annual Blessing of the Animals service each October, we love the PetFix association."
Tickets for Howard Jones are $45 and go on sale Monday, January 26, at 10 a.m. Tickets can be purchased at www.ticketweb.com, www.ticketmaster.com or at the Cathedral Concerts box office (located at 23400 Mercantile Road, Suite #10, Beachwood, Ohio 44122).

Q: How do I replace a long line of HTML with a variable or method call in Rails, so I don't have to copy the long line everywhere I need it? I have lines of HTML I want to place throughout the Rails view, but I only want the line of code to originate from a single source and not be copied throughout.
Example:
I have the following code I want to put in multiple places:
 1st Place

So I tried creating a helper method that stores the html as a string:
 def place_symbol(place)
    if place == 1
        string = %( 1st Place)
    elsif place == 2
        string = %( 2nd Place)
    elsif place == 3
        string = %( 3rd Place)
    end

    return string
end

and in my view I have:
    <%= "#{place_symbol(1)}" %>

But it just prints out the string into the view rather than recognizing it as HTML. Is there a rails method where it would know its meant to be html code and not actually printed out?

Q: Fullcalendar add new event by clicking using bootstrap modal Is there any way to mimic google calendar function such as adding new event by clicking on weekly and daily view?
I tried looking at other examples but still having a hard time. An jsfiddle example would be great.

A: You can use this code example:
$(document).ready(function() {
  var calendar = $('#calendar').fullCalendar({
  defaultView: 'agendaWeek',
  editable: true,
    selectable: true,
  //header and other values
  select: function(start, end, allDay) {
      endtime = $.fullCalendar.formatDate(end,'h:mm tt');
      starttime = $.fullCalendar.formatDate(start,'ddd, MMM d, h:mm tt');
      var mywhen = starttime + ' - ' + endtime;
      $('#createEventModal #apptStartTime').val(start);
      $('#createEventModal #apptEndTime').val(end);
      $('#createEventModal #apptAllDay').val(allDay);
      $('#createEventModal #when').text(mywhen);
      $('#createEventModal').modal('show');
   }
});

$('#submitButton').on('click', function(e){
// We don't want this to act as a link so cancel the link action
  e.preventDefault();

  doSubmit();
});

function doSubmit(){
$("#createEventModal").modal('hide');
  console.log($('#apptStartTime').val());
  console.log($('#apptEndTime').val());
  console.log($('#apptAllDay').val());
  alert("form submitted");

  $("#calendar").fullCalendar('renderEvent',
    {
        title: $('#patientName').val(),
        start: new Date($('#apptStartTime').val()),
        end: new Date($('#apptEndTime').val()),
        allDay: ($('#apptAllDay').val() == "true"),
    },
    true);
 }
});

Result: http://jsfiddle.net/cmedina/AzmJv/2074/

Our operations are conducted out of our corporate headquarters and main branch office in Dunkirk, New York and ten other branch offices. Our branches in Chautauqua County, New York are located in Dunkirk, Fredonia, Jamestown, Lakewood and Westfield. In Erie County, New York our branch offices are located in Depew, East Amherst, Hamburg, Kenmore, Orchard Park, and Snyder. Our first branch office in Erie County opened during April 2003 and the most recent branch office opened in April 2013. We also have seven stand-alone ATMs. The opening of six branch offices in Erie County, New York since 2003 demonstrates the implementation of our growth strategy which is focused on expansion within Erie County while preserving our market share in Chautauqua County.
Our geographic market area for loans and deposits is principally located within Chautauqua and Erie Counties, New York. Chautauqua County is located on Lake Erie in the western portion of New York and is approximately 45 miles from Buffalo, New York. Chautauqua County is served by four accredited hospitals and offers higher education opportunities at the State University of New York (SUNY) at Fredonia, a four year liberal arts school, and at SUNY Jamestown, a community college. Chautauqua County features tourist areas near Chautauqua Lake, but it also hosts a broad diversity of industry, commercial establishments and financial institutions as well as a skilled and productive workforce. Jamestown, New York, where we opened the first of two branch offices in 1996, is the most populous city in Chautauqua County.
Erie County is a metropolitan center located on the western border of New York. Located within Erie County is the city of Buffalo, the second largest city in the State of New York. As the city of Buffalo has redeveloped, so too have its suburbs throughout Erie County, which also host the Buffalo Niagara International Airport in Cheektowaga, New York and professional sports franchises. One of the main commercial thorough-fares in Erie County is Transit Road, which has experienced robust development in recent years and is the location of one of our branch offices.
The demographic characteristics of our market area are less attractive than national and state measures. Both Chautauqua and Erie Counties exhibit slower rates of population growth when compared to the United States and New York State averages. In addition, both Chautauqua and Erie Counties have lower per capita income when compared to the United States and the New York State averages. Projected growth in per capita income for Chautauqua County is expected to be slow, but Erie County is projected to have higher per capita income growth in the next five years. Since Chautauqua County has historically exhibited less attractive demographic characteristics, we may have limited growth opportunities in Chautauqua County. However, Erie County displays a stronger housing market than Chautauqua County and Erie County's population base is five times larger than Chautauqua County, which offers us an expanded source of new customers in the form of deposit and lending opportunities. Furthermore, Erie County is currently exhibiting strong economic development and job growth. Our primary market area has historically been stable, with a diversified base of employers and employment sectors. The local economies that we serve are not dependent on one key employer. Transportation equipment is the largest manufacturing industry in the Buffalo area, as well as production of automobile component parts. The principal employment sectors are service-related, wholesale and retail trade, and durable-goods manufacturing. Most of the job opportunities in Chautauqua and Erie Counties have been in service-related industries, and service jobs now account for the largest portion of the workforce.


I focused on my blanket and it's now finished.
It has the Shelibean nap-test approval.
I kept up with everything, so I have stats on it.
I'm surprised and happy that I have this blanket finished so soon.
I washed it in a normal wash cycle in a washing machine & dried it on Knits Low in the dryer.
It turned out beautifully and is soft and cuddly.
According to the calender, Spring'll be here in a few weeks so warm weather can't be too far off.
I hope you all are staying warm and safe during this rough winter weather.

I agree it's perfect weather for yarn-working. It sounds like you've been busy. Thank goodness for crafts to keep us entertained.
Thanks so much for the great compliment.
I live in the mid-south USA.I agree with your thoughts. Thankfully, We're pretty much used to getting around in any kind of weather Mother Nature can throw at us.
Beautiful blanket; sweet doggy. Take care.
Always important to have pet approval!
It's a great looking blanket, I wish I had the time to knit myself one. If I start now, I might have it finished for next winter!
If your next winter is as cold as our this winter is, an extra blanket would be the thing to have.
Your blanket is beautiful! I'm glad to see it earned the Shelibean stamp of approval.

Polished surfaces are the basis for further coating processes. europcoating uses the most modern polishing machines for different mechanical pre-treatment of surfaces in order to reach the required roughness or brilliance.
A mirror-like finish of surfaces can be reached by using polishing as a final mechanical treatment. Microscopic rough patches of the material are smoothed out, removed and a mirror-like surface is reached by this finishing process.
This process is suited for the treatment of different metals to reach decorative and functional purposes. An extra smooth, shiny and precious-looking surface is the convincing feature of our polished design coatings.

GREENVILLE, S.C. -- Furman football's turnaround season under first-year head coach Clay Hendrix has at least one more chapter to write when the Paladins take on Elon in NCAA Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) first round playoff action this Saturday at Elon's Rhodes Stadium.
Kickoff for the ESPN3 broadcast event is set for 1:00 p.m.
Saturday's radio broadcast will be carried over the Furman IMG Sports Network, headed up by flagship station Fox Sports 1440. It will also be streamed through FurmanPaladins.com and via the Tune-In and iHeart applications. Dan Scott, "The Voice of the Paladins", is set to deliver the play-by-play, and he will be joined on the broadcast by analyst David Cobb. Former Paladin defensive back standout Marcus McMorris will provide sideline reports.
Live stats driven by Elon can be accessed through FurmanPaladins.com.
Furman (7-4, 6-2 SoCon), which will be making its 17th playoff appearance and first since 2013, earned an at-large bid to the playoffs on the strength of a seven-game winning streak, which helped carry the Paladins to a second place tie in the league standings with Samford. Elon (8-3, 6-2 CAA) collected its at-large bid with a strong campaign that netted a third place league finish and included a 34-31 win over Furman on Sept. 9 in Greenville.
The rematch will mark the sixth time Furman has faced a regular season foe in the playoffs, its last coming against Appalachian State in 2005. In 2001 the Paladins lost a regular season encounter with Georgia Southern but later turned the tables on the Eagles in the playoff semifinals, claiming a 24-17 decision in Statesboro. And in 1988, Furman fell to Marshall in the regular season but gained revenge on the Thundering Herd in the playoff quarterfinals with a 13-9 victory in Huntington, W.Va., en route to the national championship.
For Paladin mentor Clay Hendrix, who on Tuesday was named SoCon Coach of the Year in separate voting by league coaches and media, the playoffs are nothing new. As a player (1982-85) and later as a Paladin assistant coach (1988-06), he took part in 29 of Furman's now 33 playoff games, helping the Paladins go 17-12 in those contests. Furman is 18-15 overall in playoff games.
While the head coach's playoff experience is considerable, it will be a new experience for the Paladin players, who have been in virtual playoff mode since opening the season with three losses, including the setback to Elon that was secured on a 36-yard field goal by Phoenix placekicker Owen Johnson with five seconds remaining. In that contest the Phoenix converted a pair fumbles at the Furman 24 and 23-yard lines into touchdowns to grab a 21-0 first quarter advantage. The Paladins stormed back to take a 31-24 fourth quarter lead, but Elon answered by scoring 10 points in the final three minutes to claim the win.
Although Furman holds an 11-7 advantage in the series, it's been pretty much Elon over the last seven games as the Phoenix have won six of the last seven clashes since 2008. The Paladins claimed the last encounter in Elon, however, earning a 31-17 triumph in 2012, a year before the Phoenix made the move from the SoCon to the CAA.
The Paladins take the SoCon's top scoring offense (35.1 ppg) and a unit that averages 435.5 yards per game into the playoffs. Senior quarterback P.J. Blazejowski, a second team all-conference pick this year, has been a quality performer in 2017, passing for 2,138 yards and 16 touchdowns. He leads the FCS in passing yards per attempt (11.20) and yards per completion (17.81), and ranks second in passing efficiency (180.75).
Blazejowski's work through the air has been assisted by a trio of experienced receivers, including wide outs Thomas Gordon (30 rec., 591 yds., 1 TD) and Logan McCarter (25 rec., 501 yds., 4 TDs), and consensus first team All-SoCon tight end Andy Schumpert (23 rec., 483 yds., 7 TDs).
Furman's passing game has fed off a reinvigorated Paladin ground game that averages 241.1 yards per game and has produced 34 touchdowns. Powered by the work of SoCon Jacobs Blocking Award winning center Matthew Schmidt and consensus first team guard Terrell Bush, battering ram running backs Antonio Wilcox (698 yards, 13 TDs) and Kealand Dirks (671 yards, 9 TDs) have rushed for 1,256 yards and 20 touchdowns over the last eight games. Redshirt freshman Darius Morehead (546 yds., 5 TDs), an All-Freshman Team pick, has also contributed in a big way.
The Paladins' defense, which sports only one senior in its two-deep, has registered steady improvement over the course of the campaign, which has seen Furman more than double its sack total from 12 a year ago to its current SoCon leading 31 takedowns. All-SoCon nose guard Jaylan Reid (41 tackles, 8.5 TFL, 2 sacks) has been the leader on the defensive front that has featured the solid pass rush work of end Chiendu Okonya (29 tackles, team leading 4.5 sacks).
Furman's two starting inside linebackers will be new to Elon because SoCon All-Freshman Team selections Reynard Ellis (72 tackles) and Elijah McKoy (64 tackles) hardly saw the field for the Paladins in early September. That changed a couple of weeks later in a 45-14 road thumping of Colgate, and just about all Ellis and McKoy have done since is win, as evidenced by the Paladins' 7-1 record over that span.
The Paladin secondary will likely get another strong test from Elon quarterback Davis Cheek, the CAA's 2017 Freshman of the Year who completed 26-of-35 passes for 301 yards and three touchdowns in the season's first meeting. Trying his best to limit the Phoenix passing game will be junior All-SoCon safety Aaquil Annoor (55 tackles, 2 INTs).
While Elon walked out of Paladin Stadium with the victory in September, courtesy of a field goal, Furman is certainly capable of doing the same with SoCon All-Freshman team kicker Grayson Atkins, who fashioned an outstanding inaugural campaign, leading the SoCon in kick scoring (74 points, 50x50 PATs, 8x11 FGs).
The Furman-Elon winner will face No. 7 seed Wofford next Saturday in Spartanburg in a quarterfinal round matchup.
