Q: Attempt to invoke virtual method 'void android.widget.ListView.setAdapter(android.widget.ListAdapter)' on a null object reference within a fragment i have a fragment like
public class FeedFragment extends Fragment {
private static final String TAG = FeedFragment.class.getSimpleName();
private ListView listView;
private FeedListAdapter listAdapter;
private List<FeedItem> feedItems;
private String URL_FEED = "http://api.androidhive.info/feed/feed.json";

public static FeedFragment newInstance (){
    FeedFragment feedFragment = new FeedFragment();

    return feedFragment;
}

@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.feed_fragment, container, false);

    fragmentActivity = (FragmentActivity) super.getActivity();
    listView = (ListView) view.findViewById(R.id.list);

    feedItems = new ArrayList<>();
    listAdapter = new FeedListAdapter(mActivity, feedItems);
    listView.setAdapter(listAdapter);

    Cache cache = AppController.getInstance().getRequestQueue().getCache();
    Cache.Entry entry = cache.get(URL_FEED);
    if (entry != null){
        try {
            String data = new String (entry.data, "UTF-8");
            try {
                parseJsonFeed(new JSONObject(data));
            } catch (JSONException e){
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
        }catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e){
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    } else {
        JsonObjectRequest jsonReq = new JsonObjectRequest(Request.Method.GET,
                URL_FEED, null, new Response.Listener<JSONObject>() {
            @Override
            public void onResponse(JSONObject response) {
                VolleyLog.d(TAG, "Response:" + response.toString());
                if (response != null){
                    parseJsonFeed(response);
                }
            }
        },new Response.ErrorListener(){
            @Override
            public void onErrorResponse(VolleyError error) {
                VolleyLog.d(TAG, "ERROR:" + error.getMessage());
            }
        });

        AppController.getInstance().addToRequestQueue(jsonReq);
    }
    return view;
}

private void parseJsonFeed(JSONObject response){
    try {
        JSONArray feedArray = response.getJSONArray("feed");
        for (int i = 0;i < feedArray.length(); i++){
            JSONObject feedObj = (JSONObject) feedArray.get(i);

            FeedItem item = new FeedItem();
            item.setId(feedObj.getInt("id"));
            item.setName(feedObj.getString("name"));

            String image = feedObj.isNull("image")? null : feedObj
                    .getString("image");
            item.setImge(image);
            item.setStatus(feedObj.getString("status"));

            item.setUrl(feedUrl);

            feedItems.add(item);
        }

        listAdapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
    } catch (JSONException e){
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
}

@Override
public void onAttach(Activity activity) {
    super.onAttach(activity);
    mActivity = activity;
}

Here is the Adapter
public class FeedListAdapter extends BaseAdapter{
private Activity activity;
private LayoutInflater inflater;
private List<FeedItem> feedItems;
ImageLoader imageLoader = AppController.getInstance().getImageLoader();

public FeedListAdapter(Activity activity, List<FeedItem> feedItems) {
    this.activity = activity;
    this.feedItems = feedItems;
}

@Override
public int getCount() {
    return feedItems.size();
}

@Override
public Object getItem(int location) {
    return feedItems.get(location);
}

@Override
public long getItemId(int position) {
    return position;
}

@Override

    if (inflater == null)
        inflater = (LayoutInflater) activity

    if (convertView == null)
        convertView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.feed_litem_list, null);

    if (imageLoader == null)
        imageLoader = AppController.getInstance().getImageLoader();

    TextView name = (TextView) convertView.findViewById(R.id.client_name);
    TextView timestamp = (TextView) convertView
            .findViewById(R.id.time_stamp);
    TextView statusMsg = (TextView) convertView
            .findViewById(R.id.txtStatusMgs);
    TextView url = (TextView) convertView.findViewById(R.id.txtUrl);
    NetworkImageView profilePic = (NetworkImageView) convertView
            .findViewById(R.id.profile_pic);
    FeedImageView feedImageView = (FeedImageView) convertView
            .findViewById(R.id.feedImage1);

    FeedItem item = feedItems.get(position);

    name.setText(item.getName());

    // Converting timestamp into x ago format
    CharSequence timeAgo = DateUtils.getRelativeTimeSpanString(
            Long.parseLong(item.getTimeStamp()),
            System.currentTimeMillis(), DateUtils.SECOND_IN_MILLIS);
    timestamp.setText(timeAgo);

    // Chcek for empty status message
    if (!TextUtils.isEmpty(item.getStatus())) {
        statusMsg.setText(item.getStatus());
        statusMsg.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
    } else {
        // status is empty, remove from view
        statusMsg.setVisibility(View.GONE);
    }

    // Checking for null feed url
    if (item.getUrl() != null) {
        url.setText(Html.fromHtml(""
                + item.getUrl() + " "));

        // Making url clickable
        url.setMovementMethod(LinkMovementMethod.getInstance());
        url.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
    } else {
        // url is null, remove from the view
        url.setVisibility(View.GONE);
    }

    // user profile pic
    profilePic.setImageUrl(item.getProfilePic(), imageLoader);

    // Feed image
    if (item.getImge() != null) {
        feedImageView.setImageUrl(item.getImge(), imageLoader);
        feedImageView.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
        feedImageView
                .setResponseObserver(new FeedImageView.ResponseObserver() {
                    @Override
                    public void onError() {
                    }

                    @Override
                    public void onSuccess() {
                    }
                });
    } else {
        feedImageView.setVisibility(View.GONE);
    }

    return convertView;
}

now the error is shown as

The Interaction of Health, Labour Market Conditions, and Long-Term Sickness Benefit Claims in a Post-Industrial City: A Glasgow Case Study
Webster, D. , Brown, J. , Macdonald, E. and Turok, I. (2013) The Interaction of Health, Labour Market Conditions, and Long-Term Sickness Benefit Claims in a Post-Industrial City: A Glasgow Case Study. In: Lindsay, C. and Houston, D. (eds.)

An earlier paper by Webster et al. (Policy Studies, 31:2, March 2010) analysed the reasons for the high level of Incapacity Benefit claims in Glasgow and for their rapid fall in 2003-08. However it was not able to consider good evidence on population health. This new paper fills this gap by bringing in data for Glasgow and the rest of Scotland from the Scottish Health Surveys of 1995, 1998, 2003 and 2008/2009, taking advantage of the large available samples for Glasgow. The paper continues to support the view that worse labour market conditions in Glasgow have been substantially responsible for the higher level of long-term sickness benefit claims in the city, and that improving labour market conditions were substantially responsible for their large fall in 2003-2008. Benefit administration also clearly plays a role. However, the paper also demonstrates that Glasgow's higher level of claims reflects worse working age population health, and, for the first time, that health improved in 2003-2008 in parallel with the fall in claims. It therefore seems likely that worse health constitutes a partial explanation for the high level of claims in Glasgow, and that improving health, perhaps due at least in part to a cohort effect, partly explains the large fall in 2003-2008.

MR090703- House goes South to strengthen ties with Australia
HOUSE GOES SOUTH TO STRENGTHEN TIES WITH AUSTRALIA
A Philippine House of Representatives delegation led by Speaker Prospero C. Nograles visited Canberra and Sydney from 21 to 25 June as part of the regular two-way exchanges between the Australian Parliament and the Philippine Congress.
Philippine solons visited Parliament House in Canberra where they held discussions with the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Mr Harry Jenkins MP, and the President of the Senate, Senator the Hon John Hogg, on the positive state of bilateral relations and ways to strengthen inter-parliamentary relations between Manila and Canberra.
A WARM RECEPTION: (L to R) Philippine House of Representatives Secretary-General Marilyn Yap, Congressman Eduardo Zialcita, Deputy Speaker Arnulfo Fuentebella, Deputy Speaker Raul Del Mar, Senator the Hon John Hogg (Australia's Senate President), Speaker Prospero Nograles, Mr Harry Jenkins MP (Australia's House Speaker), Congresswoman Liwayway Vinzons-Chato, Congressman Jeci Lapus, Philippine Ambassador to Australia H.E. Ernesto De Leon and Congressman Mark Mendoza at Parliament House, Canberra. Photo courtesy of Auspic.
Delegates watched Question Time in the House of Representatives Chamber – where Ministers respond to questions about Government policies for the public record – and received a warm welcome from their Australian counterparts.
While in Canberra, the delegation also met the Australia-Philippines Parliamentary Group, the Minerals Council of Australia and senior officials from AusAID, the Department of Defence, and the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade.
In Sydney, delegates called on the Presiding Officers of the State Parliament of New South Wales, met with representatives of the Australia-Philippines Business Council, and were briefed on Australia's sustainable fishing industries at the Cronulla Fisheries Research Centre of Excellence.
The Philippines and Australia enjoy strong people-to-people links with more than 200,000 Filipinos choosing to call Australia home. Many of them live in and around Sydney.
Australia's Ministers for Foreign Affairs (the Hon Stephen Smith MP), Trade (the Hon Simon Crean MP) and Infrastructure (the Hon Anthony Albanese MP) have all visited Manila in the past 12 months, underlining the strength of the bilateral relationship.
An Australian parliamentary delegation also visited the Philippines in April this year.

Note from Dr. Cobin: Leaving aside the flawed idea that Western Europeans enjoyed "outright ownership" (which Pipes himself seemed to contradict in the third chapter of his book), evidently, the fall of Russia to the Mongols (Genghis Khan and his son) ruined property rights in Russia, but in some places, notably the ancient Viking settlement of Novgorod (about 100 miles south-southeast of modern St. Petersburg), allodial property and liberty flourished. (It was too far north for Genghis Khan or his son's army to bother with evidently.) Pskov, near the borders of modern Latvia and Estonia, was another Russian city with similar circumstances, but not nearly as bright as Novgorod. Pipe's account of Novgorod is an important finding for real property theory and policy. It could suggest yet another example where allodialism fostered liberty naturally. Novgorod had the last and longest standing parliament in Russia, and had the best checks on princely power. Its best days occurred during the period 1200 to 1450 or a little later maybe, until it was ruined by Ivan the Terrible. As an aside, apparently allodial policy did not provide sufficient defense services given that it fell to Ivan. In Russia, "serfdom was eternal". (p. 183). The Tsar owned everything (as the sole allodiary) and there were not any nobles who held land as they did in England. No one wanted to produce and store anything for fear tht the Prince would confiscate it by force. What little the people did have was often hidden in forests or other secluded places. There was, in a word, economic death in Russia which persisted at least until 1991. At any rate, it seems that one could note Novgorod, in addition to pre norman England, as places where allodial policy flourished. There are also other paces where allodial thnking had some significant footing, perhaps Poland and Iceland and even medieval France (although I have seen little evidence from them other than a stray passage in a history text here or there), as well as the ante-bellum USA See my book dealing with allodial policy.

Has high school football gotten out of hand?
Whoa, how could someone so passionate about the game, who has covered it since the late '80s and wouldn't want to be anywhere else on a Friday night, have the gall to pose such a question?
All I have to do is look south to Texas, where a $60 million, 18,000-seat stadium was constructed for the Allen Eagles of Allen, Texas, a suburb of Dallas. Let me write that again, a $60 million, 18,000-seat stadium was constructed for the Allen Eagles.
There are moderate-sized colleges that don't have athletic budgets that touch anywhere near $60 million.
The project was funded through a $119 million bond package approved by voters in 2009 because, get this, the old 14,000-seat stadium wasn't big enough. Come on.
A few weeks ago, ESPN came to town. It wasn't the first time the World Wide Leader was in Kansas City to broadcast a high school football contest, but anymore, it's becoming the norm to put a weekly high school football game on national television.
I understand that it's great publicity for the community, the schools and the programs, but is there an expectation or a precedent being set that might be a bit out of whack?
We've come to expect college football every Saturday and the pros on Sunday televised throughout the fall and winter, but to me something just doesn't feel right when high school football begins to enter the landscape.
When you throw in the seedy business of recruiting, a sport all its own, then the game has a whole different meaning.
We're seeing bigger stadiums, elaborate press boxes, suites or luxury boxes for boosters and crazy-colored football fields.
Schools have been converting to Field Turf from grass over the last several years as a safety and cost-cutting issue with regard to maintenance. However, when schools decide to go from the traditional green (see Boise State) to something completely out of the ordinary, it's obviously for a psychological advantage.
The cost for West Salem's new field? A paltry $300,000 when you consider what the Allen Eagles stadium cost.
This isn't a column to dump on high school football, because to me, it's the game at its purest form at that level, but I do have to question at what point does this "arms race" end?
I enjoy a good old-fashioned Friday night high school football game, but unfortunately, the simpler times have passed. I just want to pose the questions to ponder. The game has grown and changed so much over the last decade, and it will more than likely continue to do so over the next 10 years.
I can only hope it doesn't get so big or change so much that I won't be able to recognize what it used to be.

The newly released renderings of Arbor include a kitchen and master bath, as well as a shot of the northeast corner of the building. As illustrated within the images, interior designs by Samuel Amoia and architectural designs by Behar Font & Partners are inspired by the tree-shaded setting of the project's historic Coconut Grove surrounding, mindfully pulling the outdoors in through full-length windows, private gardens and sizable living areas.
"The images we're unveiling further demonstrate that Arbor goes well beyond the norm of a standard development…a project crafted with a strong emphasis on livability and a sense of place," said Nick Hamann, a Miami native, Coconut Grove resident and Principal with Urban Atlantic Group. "Our vision has been to create large, house-like residences that capitalize on wide views, special amenities and walkable access to area hot-spots and recreational facilities – essentially, the quintessential home-sites for long- term members of this vibrant community."
"Having grown up in South Florida, Nick and I have always had a tremendous appreciation for Coconut Grove, its longstanding roots and multitude of unique offerings," said Jeremy Waks, Principal of Oak Ventures, who also hails from Miami.
"We have specifically drawn inspiration from these hallmarks to build something that pays homage to the social threads of the neighborhood, its 'green' composition and community-centered attributes."
Arbor is an eco-living inspired development that will rise 5-stories and feature 52 units. The building is being designed by Behar Font & Partners with landscape design by Witkin Hults and Tyler Nielsen. Units will come in 2 and 3 bedroom layouts finished ranging from 1,400 SF to 2,000 SF and will come delivered with porcelain woodgrain floors and top-of-the-line appliances. Units will also feature glass walls, high ceilings and large family-style living spaces. Duplex loft and townhome style units will feature 20' ceilings while flat units will get 10' ceilings.
There will also be 4 penthouses with private terraces. Amenities include a courtyard pool deck with pool and grilling areas along with a "bicycle concept" described by Nick Hamann of Urban Atlantic Group, which will allow residents to store, share and service their bikes. Units start at $799,000 targeting families that have been priced out of the Coconut Grove market but still want to live in the residential community. Urban Atlantic Group is headed up by Nick Hamann and Oak Ventures by Jeremy Waks. Sales will be overseen by Douglass Elliman as the exclusive sales broker for the project. The sales gallery just opened and the developers are expecting to break-ground in July and plan to deliver the units to buyers in fall of 2018.


The Ghost Road took most of my reading time this week. It's a great but dense read. Also a lot of my reading time was taken up with art.
I've now started on my last landscape for this trio. This one is of a sunflower farm near UC Davis along I8 heading towards Sacramento. The big feature though is the cloud which will be taking most of my time and effort on this piece.
Also I spent the week planning out my 32 pages for a sketchbook I'm filling for Project Sketchbook. It will be digitized once it's sent back to Brooklyn and I'll share the link. The book is due by the end of March. Below is my title page.
Finally, the Blood Wolf Moon was tonight and I have about 200 photos. I'll share some next week.
Your paintings are magnificent. I can almost hear the roar of the ocean.
Thank you. They were fun to work on.
Your paintings are wonderful. I am impressed by your skill -- and having time to read and paint.
I like the looks of SOS by Night and Beyond: the Queer Sci-Fi & Fantasy Comic Anthology.
Hope you had a good week of Happy Reading!
Both books were very good. It was fun working on those paintings.
I have Naomis Too on my #MustReadin2019 list, so I'm excited to get to that one in the coming weeks. And Black Enough was just catalogued at my local library, so I will have to grab it when it's available. Thanks for the shares, Sarah!
Naomis Too disappointed me. The opening chapters dragged for me with the girls getting used to their new school. There are good observations on racism and unequal way children are treated based on wrongheaded assumptions but the flow was just off. I hope you have a better a time with it. Black Enough, meanwhile, is delightful and a quick read.
Your artwork is beautifu! I'm curious about Black Enough. Enjoy your reading week.
Black Enough is a collection of short stories. It's a delightful book. I will be reviewing it soon.
Sometimes being creative needs to take over your reading time!
I spending about three hours each week on art and will be until I get the sketchbook finished.
Lovely landscapes. I love that part of the state (near UC Davis).
Thanks. I'll post updates of the Davis painting after I work on it more.
Omg I loved Syd Hoff so much as a kid! I plan on getting a set of his books for Wyatt.
I was also a Syd Hoff fan as a kid. I hope Wyatt enjoys them too. The Sketchbook Project is fun but also a lot of work. If he has other deadlines, I don't think it would be a good thing for him right now.
Great variety of books. I missed the lunar eclipse/blood moon because of cold and clouds. I'll be eager to see your pictures. Come see my week here. Happy reading!
I missed totality because of rain but I got some decent shots of the stuff beforehand.
Your art is always fun to look at. And ooh blood moon pics. We went out and looked but didn't take any pics sadly.
I didn't see totality because it began to pour. But I'll post a couple shots next week.
Your paintings are so wonderful. You are very creative.
Great selection of books, and your paintings are so good! Good luck with your sketchbook project. Thanks for visiting my book list today!
The sketchbook will just take scheduling time to paint and draw. I have all the pages planned. I need about three hours every week for the next two months.
Your artwork is beautiful... definitely worth using some reading time! The Blood Wolf Moon is spectacular. Wish I had a camera able to capture some of it!
I wish it hadn't rained so I could have photographed totality.
Body on Baker Street looks good. Beautiful painting.

Bump and Baby News/
Royal baby Archie to be Christened in private ceremony this weekend
Emma's Diary | July 01, 2019
And Piers Morgan had plenty to say about it…
Harry and Meghan's first child Archie Harrison will be baptised in a private ceremony at the weekend.
Archie is due to be christened on Saturday 6 July, exactly two months after his birth and three days before the first anniversary of his cousin Prince Louis' christening.
It will be held in the private chapel at Windsor Castle in front of a small group of family and close friends – it has been reported that the ceremony will be attended by no more than 25 people.
Tonight, The Duke and Duchess of Sussex attended the first of a two game series of the Major League Baseball #LondonSeries, in support of @WeAreInvictusGames. Tonight's highly anticipated game between the #Yankees and #RedSox took place at London stadium, Olympic Park. The @WeAreInvictusGames, of which His Royal Highness is Founding Patron, has been selected as charity partner for the @MLB 2019 series. The Invictus Games Foundation is the international charity that oversees the development of the Invictus Games, an international adaptive multi-sport event in which wounded, injured or sick armed service personnel and veterans participate. It celebrates the power of sport in recovery and how it can help, physically or psychologically, those suffering from injuries or illness. The word 'invictus' means 'unconquered' - it embodies the fighting spirit of the competitors. As part of the partnership, the Invictus Games Foundation have a team participating in London's #Softball60, the social softball series built for the city and targeted to introduce the sport to new audiences and demonstrate that it is an inclusive sport. On this #ArmedForcesDay, tonight's event was also a chance for Their Royal Highnesses to shine a light on the men and women here in the UK and around the world who have sacrificed so much for their country. Discover more about the Invictus Games Foundation through the link in our bio. Photo credit: PA
A post shared by The Duke and Duchess of Sussex (@sussexroyal) on Jun 29, 2019 at 1:49pm PDT
The actual ceremonies for William and Kate's children Prince George, Prince Louis and Princess Charlotte were also done in private but fans and media were able to see the royals entering and leaving .
Harry and Meghan have bucked trends a number of times during Meghan's pregnancy and since Archie's birth.
They kept baby Archie out of the public gaze until they held an official photo-call but not everyone is happy about their decision to keep the Christening private as well.
Shrinking violet Piers Morgan, for one, had plenty to say about it.
Referring to the money spent on the couple's Frogmore Cottage, he tweeted: "Private citizens don't get £2.4m of home improvements paid by the taxpayer.
"This baptism should be public - or the public should get their money back."
Many defended the new family's rights to privacy but others agreed with Piers.
One user tweeted: "If they want to be private fair enough but they have to be private in all aspects not just when it suits them."

- LOOT BOXES -
Estimated time to read: 2 Minutes
What would it cost to unlock all content in star wars battlefront 2?
Over 4.500 hours in-game or $2.100 for Lootboxes
Considering that you use our website we assume you already know what loot boxes are. For those who don't know, you can inform yourself here.
Some of you may have already seen this picture, that calls the DLC madness out:
DLC madness
It is sad to see this 'madness', especially in AAA-games. DLCs have become common practice, that is clear- but what was once more or less fair has turned into splitting a full game and every part of it is now a "DLC".
However, loot boxes are even worse.
Loot Box
Why are loot boxes a scam?
Loot boxes are very closely linked to gambling and they are directly aimed at the youth. The mechanisms of loot boxes are sometimes even like a slot machine(CS: GO).
Gambling is always a "scam". Casinos exist because the house always wins- chances are always against the player.
Loot boxes, however, claim to not be linked to gambling because "no matter what – you will always get something in return for your money".
The animation and all the design of the loot boxes, in general, is made to be addictive – you want to open another one and another one.
Especially kids like the opening of loot boxes, the sound that it makes and most important of all- the feeling that in this loot box could be the perfect item.
It's like a slot machine, where you want to see the best combination of fruits or whatever they have printed on it.
But imagine also this situation: You want one special item or in-game product and you would even like to pay for it.
You will have to open so many loot boxes until it maybe shows up. That can be really frustrating, especially when most of the "loot" is repetitive, non-valuable trash.
The Loophole & ESRB
The gaming industry has found a loophole. They argue that loot boxes are not gambling because the player does not receive money back but always will get some kind of item.
Here a statement from the ESRB—the Entertainment Software Rating Board, which categorizes games released in North America from "Early Childhood" to "Adults Only":
"While there's an element of chance in these mechanics, the player is always guaranteed to receive in-game content (even if the player unfortunately receives something they don't want),"
an ESRB rep said
"We think of it as a similar principle to collectible card games: Sometimes you'll open a pack and get a brand new holographic card you've had your eye on for a while. But other times you'll end up with a pack of cards you already have."

Krebs 7.62×39 Pistol an Effective PDW without the NFA Paperwork
June 8, 2018 by admin 0 Comments
Firearm News, John Farnam
Krebs PD-18 Pistol
Ft Collins, CO –-(Ammoland.com)- Krebs PD-18 Pistol.
For discrete carry when traveling, in addition to discrete storage, SBRs (Short-Barreled Rifles) represents an excellent compromise for many, myself included.
SBRs are lighter than their full-sized cousins, and the short barrel is handy for deployment and serious fighting within confined spaces, such as the interior of a typical sedan.
However, under Federal Rules (arbitrary, like most rules), "rifles" have to have barrels no shorter than sixteen inches. When a rifle's barrel is shorter, it becomes an "SBR" and thus an NFA (National Firearms Act of 1934) item, like silencers requiring individual government permission slips.
Citizens can own NFA items, like SBRs, in most states, but the transfer must be approved at the federal level, which requires intrusive and never-ending paperwork, as well as a long wait for the Feds to "get around to it," sometimes a year or more.
Current NFA-application backlogs are enormous, and getting worse.
So, NFA items are of scant interest to most firearms owners. Even police departments often shy away from them, again due to paperwork, delays, and tedious accounting procedures.
Recently, however, in an attempt to satisfy consumer demand, manufacturers have started making "pistols" that look a lot like SBRs.
"Pistols," meeting federal regulations may have a barrel of any length, but no "shoulder-stock." It's the exact definition of "shoulder-stock" that has kept ATF (along with the entire firearms industry) tied in knots for at least the past decade.
Under ATF's current definition (at least for now) of "shoulder-stock," certain "Arm-Braces" (which look a lot like shoulder-stocks to me) don't meet the definition and are hence apparently "okay" to put on a rifle which has a barrel of fewer than sixteen inches.
With these "approved" arm-braces, one can now own, in effect, a non-NFA SBR (by definition, a "pistol"), and many are taking manufacturers up on the offer!
How the "arm-brace" is actually used by the shooter as the pistol is deployed is apparently no longer a concern of ATF.
Robinson Arms, Daniel Defense, Inland Manufacturing (M1 Carbine), and many others are jumping in on the trend.
Business is brisk!
Among those at the top of the list is the Krebs PD-18.
Mounting Solutions Plus Lower 1-3 Co-Witness Spacer under an Aimpoint PRO
I'm testing my copy now. It's a 7.62×39 Kalashnikov with an 11″ barrel, which includes the flash-suppressor. It features all of Mark's famous AK enhancements, including a top-rail.
Today, I put 400 rounds through it. Runs perfectly, like everything Mark Krebs makes.
It's equipped with Aimpoint PRO, a BFG Vickers Sling, and Krebs custom trigger and wonderful Western-style BUIS.
The arm-brace folds sideways (much as a shoulder-stock would), making the whole thing only 23″ long. With the arm-brace thus folded, the PD-18 Pistol fits nicely into an innocuous gym-bag for low-profile transport.
Within 50m, the PD-18 is every bit as accurate as a standard rifle. And, I was getting very respectable accuracy at 100m.
I sighted-in my PD-18 to be dead-on at 40m, which puts it dead-on again at 170m, so it is basically a 200m gun, which represents all the range I need for most domestic challenges. And the 30cal 7.62×39 round suffers less velocity deterioration due to barrel-shortening than does the 5.56×45 (223).
Set-up as I have mine, the Krebs PD-18 w/optic runs 2.5k, or so.

Through any demanding cutting job, let "Priscilla" lead the way!
Trekking through tall weeds, thick brush and dense undergrowth? Let "Priscilla" blaze your patch! A curvaceous beauty with muscle to spare, the Schrade Priscilla Makhaira Brush Sword packs far more bite and brawn than your average bush machete. Its full tang 16 1/16" 3Cr13 stainless steel recurve blade boasts an extra large belly, reinforced spine and carefully honed edge for maximum strength and slashing power, making quick work of even the most challenging, tenacious materials - woody branches, small trees, fibrous grasses and the like. The Priscilla's also great for myriad other cutting jobs, from cleaning and butchering game to chopping firewood and much, much more. Powder coated for added protection against moisture and the elements, the Priscilla's blade stays razor sharp and resilient in the harshest conditions, toughest environments and most unforgiving terrain. The Priscilla is also a pleasure to wield, with an exceptionally durable TPE handle that's textured for a no-slip grip and ergonomically contoured to boost comfort and reduce fatigue during use. Unlike many similarly sized machetes, the Priscilla's weight is impeccably distributed, bolstering swinging momentum and yielding greater cutting power with less effort. The handle includes a handy lanyard hole, and additional grommet holes and slots for lashing and tethering run along the edge of the included durable-yet-lightweight thermoplastic shoulder sheath. Whether deep in remote back country on an extreme wilderness adventure or simply in your suburban backyard cleaning up unsightly overgrowth, why waste energy trying to coax sufficient cutting power out of a feeble hardware store machete? For around the same price as (and often less than) an inferior tool, you can experience real slashing prowess with the surprisingly affordable full-tang Schrade Priscilla Makhaira Brush Sword,. You'll not only cut down obstructive or unwanted vegetation, you'll significantly trim cost, energy expenditure and work time!
This is the absolutely best small sword I have ever seen, bar none! The design is stunning. The construction is solid, full tang, balanced and just the perfect weight. If there were only one of these available and there were no more to be made, I would trade ALL of my knives and swords (around twenty five) for this one sword. I will agree with the other reviewer about the sheath. This sword deserves a much better sheath. Please Schrade, make a really good sheath for it. I will bjuy two.


Is a systematic program that is designed to promote a more positive attitude amongst the youth and schools of Kuwait. The aim of the program is to instil an optimistic attitude amongst the students and inspire them to look at themselves and others in a positive light. Our goal is to influence students through practical exercises and help them develop a more positive outlook towards life situations.
The program is designed to promote positivity through easy to perform 2 minute exercises during school hours. The exercises are all derived from scientifically proven techniques and are adapted from Alnowair's tree of positivity, which is kindness, simplicity, mindfulness, gratitude, joy, truthfulness and making a difference. The program is about teaching and reinforcing the intuitive philosophy that you feel good about yourself and about others when you do positive actions.
The pilot phase of the program started in the academic year 2014 – 2015. The number of schools increased after the word was out about the program, until it reached 20 schools. The pilot stage consisted of: orientations, teachers training on how to use 5 exercises, positivity index as a measurement tool, and few training aids.

Q: kubelet option to set apiserver address I've set up an insecure k8s master node using hyperkube, with an insecure API:
docker run -d --name=k8s-apiserver --net=container:etcd gcr.io/google_containers/hyperkube:v1.8.5 /apiserver --etcd-servers=http://127.0.0.1:2378 --service-cluster-ip-range=10.0.0.1/24 --insecure-bind-address=0.0.0.0 --insecure-port=8080 --admission-control=AlwaysAdmit

Moving on to configuring the nodes, what option to the docker run -d --name=kubelet gcr.io/google_containers/hyperkube:v1.8.5 /kubelet command points kubelet to the master apiserver? I can't seem to find this option using --help.

A: Starting from kubernetes version 1.8 you should use --kubeconfig key to specify a path to a kubeconfig file where is described how to connect to API server:
--kubeconfig string      Path to a kubeconfig file, specifying how to connect to the API server. (default "/var/lib/kubelet/kubeconfig")

where /var/lib/kubelet/kubeconfig something like:
apiVersion: v1
clusters:
- cluster:
    certificate-authority: ~/.kube/ca.crt
    server: https://<API_IP>:<API_PORT>
  name: dev
contexts:
- context:
    cluster: dev
    user: dev
  name: dev
current-context: dev
kind: Config
preferences: {}
users:
- name: dev
  user:
    as-user-extra: {}
    client-certificate: ~/.kube/client.crt
    client-key: ~/.kube/client.key

So, finally you should just mount the config file inside kubelet docker container:
docker run -d -v /var/lib/kubelet/kubeconfig:/var/lib/kubelet/kubeconfig --name=kubelet gcr.io/google_containers/hyperkube:v1.8.5 /kubelet

Q: Which free CSS editor has most customizable options/settings for CSS code view formatting? Which free CSS editor has most customizable options/settings for CSS code view formatting?
for Windows.
Should be able to set automatic css code to any of these type of formatting.
http://css-tricks.com/different-ways-to-format-css/

A: erm, it's CSS, its hardly the most complex of languages, its barely a language. Something like notepad++ (not the notepad built into windows btw) will be able to 'simplify' CSS. You may also find it handy to use Firefox or Chrome as you can edit bits of CSS LIVE, this means you can very quickly see if you the differences of overflow:auto or overflow:scrollfor example.


Many products, treatments, and services are available and advertised to help individuals with ADHD. Each day, more and more products come on the market that claim to cure ADHD, help people with ADHD focus, or help them organize. Often, these claims are not supported by evidence-based research or clinical practice. Adults and families dealing with ADHD, like most consumers, want the most value for their money and need treatments that provide the most improvement for their dollars spent.
When it comes to treatment, scientists and doctors like to use the term "efficacy," which is a fancy word that basically means whether a treatment does what it says it does and whether it works for the condition it's designed to work for.
One of the ways to measure efficacy is through clinical trials. Treatments involving medication undergo thorough testing to make sure they work for the condition they are designed to treat and are safe to take before the Federal Drug Administration will allow the medication to be sold.
Many of these medications are first tested on animals, and once they're found to be safe in them, researchers give the medication under controlled conditions to humans in what is called a "trial." These trials are designed to test the effectiveness of the drug and also whether they are safe for humans. During the clinical trials, some of the participants are given a fake or pretend medication known as a "placebo." The individuals participating in the medication trials are randomly placed in the two groups. They don't even know whether they are in the group that gets the medication or the one that is given the placebo. The participants are carefully monitored during the testing period. Afterward, they are examined to see if there is any improvement in the condition. Finally, the results of those given the medication are compared to those who were not.
Sometimes, just the thought of being on a medication is enough to make a difference. This is called the "placebo effect," and researchers must consider this when analyzing their study data to make sure that any changes they see are not due to this effect.
This process for testing treatments is called "randomized controlled trials." The effectiveness of non-medication treatments can also be tested using randomized controlled trials.
When making your decision to purchase and use a particular product, we encourage you to consult with a trained health care professional who knows your medical history and has expertise and experience in diagnosing and treating ADHD.
When evaluating treatments that may work for your family, the following tips may be helpful.
Look for value and effectiveness. People have only so much money to spend, and they want to find the most effective treatments for their well-earned dollars. Start with treatments that have been proven in clinical trials. These treatments have been scientifically evaluated for not only effectiveness (they are designed to treat the right disorder) but also safety.
Find the treatment that works for you. The effectiveness of treatment is very much dependent on the individual. Not all treatments work for everybody and not in the same way. You need to work closely with you doctor to see what works for you. For example, if you're trying a medication, you may need more than a single visit to your doctor's office to find the right medication and dose while minimizing side effects.
Avoid gimmicks. There's a lot of false information on the internet with companies promoting their ineffective and untested health products and miracle cures. Having trustworthy and reliable sources for information is crucial to help you understand what's out there.
Check with your health care professional and then check again. Finding treatments that work takes time and effort. Even when you've found treatments that work for you, it's important to monitor them to make sure that what you're doing continues to work for you. Check in with your health care provider periodically to make sure the treatment continues to be effective.

Q: Proving an identity with geometric series. I've been at this for MANY hours and I think it's time I sought help.

Question: Given $k = \frac{2 \pi}{Na}\left ( p-\frac{N}{2} \right )$, prove that $\sum_{k=1}^{N}e^{ika\left ( n-m \right )}=N\delta_{mn}$

Hint:
$\sum_{p=1}^{N}=\frac{x\left ( x^{N}-1 \right )}{x-1}$ for x $\in \mathbb{C}$ and $x \neq 1$
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks in advance.


Wake up!! The secret to the secret!
Everywhere I look online I see advertising for "make money online fast and easy" products!
I guess you have noticed that to?
YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, etc.. Everywhere online there is advertising that looks something like this: Try the secret method that I use to make thousands of dollars every month by doing no work at all… and blablabla… That my people is never the truth and will not happen. PERIOD.
This kind of offers only makes the ones promoting them rich (or richer) and it is always the uneducated (in the subject) that buy in to this kind of scams, and help the promoter of the scam product to get richer.
You can of course do exactly the same as these guys do and make money online to, but you do not have to lie and be dishonest to people about what you sell.
The method the scammers, but also honest internet millionaires use is called affiliate marketing.
You simply promote and sell something online, and this can make you able to quit your job, and also make you rich. It works pretty much like this.
The only secret is to be consistent and not giving up, you need PATIENCE. If you have that and not give up you will succeed!
But it wont happen over night! You have to learn how to do it first of course, and that takes some time. But it really is not hard to learn nowaday because there is many places online that can teach you this.
The best one I have found is Wealthy Affiliate. Here, me and thousands of people from all around the world have learned how making money online really works.
What is Wealthy Affiliate? It is a community that has over 400.000 members who are all intrested in the same thing: To make money online!
Here you can learn all about the subject, and this is also the place where many internet millionaires started their journey.
It is also FREE to sign up for a membership to try things out, so you do not have to worry about being scammed. You also do not need any former experience, everything will be explained in an easy to understand way.
If you like WA there is also a paid alternative that you should consider, but only if you are serious about making money online of course.
But you have to stop belive that you can buy some "super" product online that will give you the "secret" to make you rich in no time…It simply do NOT exist such a product and it will never do!
Please share this! It will help people to understand this subject!
Also feel free to add a comment if you like?
I completely agree with you! Always we find magic formulas, perfect plans, sell everything easy to attract our attention. But the real magic is in our effort and dedication to meet our objectives, we all have the ability to achieve personal success. Having the right tools is not easy, but searching can be reached to find the key to begin a true path.
Great words that you share in your post. Thank you very much and good luck!
I have just chekked out Wealthy Affiliate and I just became a member! It looks great. I want to personally thank you for this post. I trust your blog now hehe. The reason why I trust Wealthy Affiliate is because I can always speak to anybody about anything I want. Also about scams or how to whatever I need to know. It makes the whole experience of making money online nice I think. Because doing everything alone can be discouraging at some times. I hope you post more son!
Thank you for your comment Paul!
You are absolutely right. I can't believe how people are still getting scammed and trusting those gurus out there. I mean how can someone believe that they will be making thousands of dollars in less than week with no effort?
Every scam product has at least 3 red flags but somehow people are unable to notice them. There are no overnight successes, no magical fixes, only hard work, every single day. That's the only way.

My role at the clinic is varied. In the waiting room, I greet the clients, usually by demanding a scratch under the chin whilst lounging on the counter, or if I am in a cheeky mood, by suddenly sticking my paw between the gap in the counter and the computer screen when they reach across the desk. I like to greet patients in the waiting room to ensure they are all aware of my importance, and if they aren't aware of my supremacy I am not averse to giving a quick swipe of the paw (no claws extended of course - I am highly civilised). But my main role, is supervising the staff to ensure they are all working hard, to supply me with my required daily amount of food and attention.
With the clinic website launched recently, we decided that we would write a regular blog on topics of current interest. With the help of Dr Louise, I will be chatting about all sorts of blog topics from general health care to specific medical conditions. Poor as Dr Louise's typing skills may be, she is still quicker at typing than I am - I find my paws just hit too many keys at once when I try tapping the keyboard.
Fleas are external parasites that can be very pesky and sometimes difficult to get rid of. This is because only 5% of the flea population is found on your pet and the rest is in the environment as eggs, larva and adult fleas. To control the flea population it is essential to treat all pets in the household, and for best prevention to treat all year round. Even if you only see one or two fleas on you pet, they will cause irritation and in the case of some pets (myself included), an allergic reaction to the flea saliva which can cause severe itchiness and secondary infections.
The best people to ask for advice about fleas are the vet nurses and vets at the clinic. They can advise you on the most effective flea treatment for your household. It is important to follow the information on the packet of all flea products. Some of the products available at the supermarket for dogs can be toxic to cats, even if your cat decides to show your dog how much he's loved by licking him after treatment. Other products are not suitable for young kittens and puppies.
We recommend using monthly flea preventatives such as Comfortis, a tasty tablet, or spot on treatments like Advantage or Activyl, the most recent addition to flea treatment. So if your dog or cat is trying to tell you he has fleas either by scratching, chewing or overgrooming in the case of cats, please come down and see our staff for help.

Q: Eclipse plugin Not compatible with older versions I developed an eclipse plugin in Eclipse 3.7 RCP plugin development. But during the creation of the project I mentioned that this plugin is intended to work on the 3.6 version . But strangely my plugin is working on Eclipse 3.7 and in 3.3 but NOT in 3.6.

A: Copy your code over to Eclipse 3.6 and develop your plugin there.
There's no guarantee that every feature of every version of Eclipse works.


What is an ambassador animal?
September 29, 2015, 12:54 p.m.
This eastern screech owl was photographed at Mountsberg Raptor Centre, a conservation facility that also runs educational programs. This owl is not the only resident at the center, which is "home to 15 different species of native birds of prey, many of whom have permanent injuries which have left them incapable of surviving on their own in the wild. Often, these injuries are caused by human activity, but with the help of these feathered ambassadors, the community can learn about how to share our environment with native birds of prey, and how to reduce the negative impact we might have on them."
An animal ambassador is an individual of a species - often a tame or habituated animal that lives permanently at a rehabilitation center or zoo - that is used to educate the public about the species. The Association of Zoos & Aquariums defines an ambassador animal as "an animal whose role includes handling and/or training by staff or volunteers for interaction with the public and in support of institutional education and conservation goals."
Comfortable around people, the animal can represent its species when traveling to classrooms, or during demonstrations and educational talks at the facility where it lives. Ambassador animals play a key role in connecting those who are near it with nature and the issues influencing the species itself or its native habitat.
For young children and adults alike, the thrill of being close to a wild animal can spark a life-long interest in learning more about a species or ecosystem, and importantly, in environmental conservation. So ambassador animals are some of the most important members of their species.
Can you guess this animal by its eye?

11 Facts About Indian Rajas And Ranis That Will Make You Question Everything You Know!
Home > Entertainment > 11 Facts About Indian Rajas And Ranis That Will Make You Question Everything You Know!
Indian royal families have always been 'living life king size'. All of us have witnessed their standard of living, whims and fancies through literature, movies and other media. Every royal family had its own uniqueness and charm. Here are 11 facts about Indian royalties that will more than surprise you.
1. Mir Osman Ali Khan Siddiqi was the last Nizam of the Princely State of Hyderabad who was declared as the world's richest Indian ever in 1940s. During that time he was a billionaire owning 2 billion dollars (almost 2% of the US economy in those times). He used this money to buy the largest diamond in the world, the Jacob Diamond, which is worth $200 million and used it as a paperweight.
2. The Wodeyar family took over the Mysore Empire after killing its king. However, the queen managed to escape and was captured after a few days. But the queen committed suicide in Cauvery River and cursed Wodeyar family to an heirless future. After her suicide, the family installed her statue and worshipped her. Her statue is worshipped as a deity to date, in the palace.
3. The last heir of Wodeyar family, Srikantadatta, died childless leaving no successor to the throne.
4. A dog lover in the truest sense, the Nawab of Junagarh, Mahabat Khan Rasul Khan owned 800 dogs and each dog had a personal attendant. He was probably the only king who would get his dogs married and throw magnificent galas. On one such occasion, he even invited the Viceroy of India - Lord Irwin. However the invitation was declined politely.
5. King Ashoka was famous as 'Chandal Ashok' which means brutal. He got this name after killing his 99 brothers for the throne. However, he spared Tissa (one of the 100 brothers) and made him his deputy king.
6. Bodhidharma, a prince of the Pallava dynasty went to China and began the physical training of the Shaolin monks that led to the creation of Kung Fu.
7. Prince Manvendra Singh Gohil is the only known royal person from India to reveal that he is gay. He was unfortunately disowned by his own family for ruining their name and lineage.
8. King Jai Singh of Alwar, after being insulted by a salesman of Rolls Royce in London, used their cars to pick the city's waste. He kept doing so until the company apologized for their behaviour.
9. Maharani Gayatri Devi, also known as Rajmata of Jaipur, was included in 'The Ten Most Beautiful Women Of The World' list by the Vogue Magazine in 1960s.
10. Maharani Indira Devi, mother of Gayatri Devi, was a fashion connoisseur. The Queen of Cooch Behar ordered 100 pairs of shoes from Salvatore Ferrogamo (one of the most famous designers of 20th century). Some of those shoes were studded with diamonds.
11. The royal ladies in Indian Mughal harems changed their garments several times in a day and wouldn't wear them again. They used to give those garments away to their servants.
Fascinating, isn't it? If you love the royal Indian Era then you must watch Zee TV's magnum opus period drama 'EK Tha Raja Ek Thi Rani' premiering on 27th July at 9:30 pm. The royal love story set in pre-independent India is a timeless masterpiece that will definitely make you fall in love with it.
