Q: Jasmine Testing : Listening for DOM Changes I have a requireJS setup where I have an 'imageGallery' module which listens for and handles
click events on '.gallery' elements. This in turn uses a plugin 'magnificPopup' to open a
gallery of images based on the clicked element.
I want to test this using Jasmine; that is I want to test that the click event is called and that
the html for the magnificPopup is in the dom - proving that the click event is successful.
My current click test uses  'waitsFor' but this is always failing. Any ideas on how I can acheive this?
Image Gallery Module
define(

    ['jquery', 'magnificPopup'],

    function($, magnificPopup) {

    return {

        init: function() {

            $('body').on('click', '.gallery', function(e) {
                e.preventDefault();

            //code to generate  items...

            $.magnificPopup.open({
                items: items,
                gallery: { enabled: true }
            });

            });

        }
    }
})

Image Gallery Jasmine Test
define(['imageGallery'],

    function(imageGallery) {

        jasmine.getFixtures().fixturesPath = '/';

        describe('Image Galleries', function() {

            beforeEach(function(){
                loadFixtures('/path-to-my-fixture');
                spyOn(imageGallery, 'init');
                imageGallery.init();
            });

            it('Should be defined', function() {
                expect(imageGallery).not.toBe(null);
            });

            it('Should be initialised via imageGallery.init()', function() {
                expect(imageGallery.init).toHaveBeenCalled();
            });

            //fails
            it('Should open a modal after a .gallery element is clicked', function() {

                $('.gallery').click();

                waitsFor(function() {
                   return ($('body').find('.mfp-ready').length > 0)
                }, '.gallery to be clicked', 500);

Commonwealth Declarations
Home >About us >Our history
The Commonwealth is one of the world's oldest political association of states. Its roots go back to the British Empire when some countries were ruled directly or indirectly by Britain. Some of these countries became self-governing while retaining Britain's monarch as Head of State. They formed the British Commonwealth of Nations.
In 1949 the association we know today, the Commonwealth came into being. Since then, independent countries from Africa, the Americas, Asia, Europe and the Pacific have joined the Commonwealth.
Membership today is based on free and equal voluntary co-operation. The last two countries to join the Commonwealth - Rwanda and Mozambique - have no historical ties to the British Empire.

Trying to find right shoe before Olympics, says Swapna Barman
Swapna Barman may have become the first Indian heptathlete to win a gold medal at the Asian Games, but the athlete with 12 toes said she could have done better in three-four events.

Watch: Swapna Barman speaks on her return from Jakarta
"There was no pressure on me but I had thought of scoring 6000 points. The coach and I had thought of improving my high jump. Four events didn't go good for me, three events went fine," Swapna said upon her return from Jakarta.
Now the challenge for her would be to find customised shoes before the Tokyo Olympics in 2020. "I'm looking for shoes, will definitely try for Olympics."
The good news is that after Swapna appealed for customised shoes to fit her six-toed feet, the Integral Coach Factory in Chennai opened up channels with Nike, United States, a leading manufacturer of sports footwear, for making the special shoes.

San Francisco School Board Votes to Paint Over George Washington Mural
They've come for George…
Victor Arnautoff, "The Life of George Washington," 1936, at George Washington High School in San Francisco.
The San Francisco Board of Education unanimously voted last month in favor of painting over a George Washington mural series on a school wall depicting Washington standing over a Native American's corpse and another in the company of slaves on his Mount Vernon estate…
"This is reparations," Education Board Commissioner Mark Sanchez said in a KQED report when asked about the estimated $600,000 price tag for its removal. It could reportedly take a year to complete.
The 1,600-square-foot mural series titled "Life of Washington" was painted on San Francisco's George Washington High School in 1936 by a Russian-American artist and Stanford University art professor Victor Arnautoff.
It was funded by the New Deal's Works Progress Administration and shows a variety of scenes from Washington's life.
School district spokeswoman Laura Dudnick confirmed that although only two mural pieces stand out as offensive to members of the community, the board's decision would apply to all 13 panels of the mural.
School board members had to decide whether to cover and preserve the painting using panels or textile, or completely erase it by painting over it. Buckling under pressure from those who find the images offensive to certain members of the school community, the board decided to paint over it.
Advocates for removing the mural included local high school students, George Washington High School graduates, and Native Americans.
During a public comment portion of the June 25 meeting, Paloma Flores, program coordinator for the district's Indian Education Program, said, per KQED, "It's not a matter of offense, it's a matter of the right to learn without a hostile environment."
"Intent does not negate lived experience," she added.
According to KQED, mural critics in the community "believe the artist's intentions are irrelevant in light of the harm to young people of color daily confronted by images of their ancestors debased."
Native American Barbara Mumby-Huerta, who staffs the San Francisco Art Commission, challenged statements on historical accuracy, saying that the mural is ignorant of indigenous people.
"To portray a Native person face down, dead, you are trapping their soul so that they can not move on," she said, per KQED.
One mural supporter says he plans to legally challenge the move to paint over the mural. Lope Yap Jr., vice president of the school's alumni group, vowed to "use every tactic available" for litigation, according to KQED.
Before the school board meeting, the San Francisco Chronicle polled art leaders in the Bay Area about the controversy.
"I am deeply sensitive to the pain that this situation is causing the student body and Washington High School community," said Neal Benezra, director of the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art.
"A decision to paint over the mural is irreversible," he added. "The option to cover the artwork with panels to allow future educational research keeps open that opportunity."
Jarrett Stepman of The Daily Signal wrote about the removal of the mural, citing a historian's account of Arnautoff, "a man of the left in his own time," and his intention of making Washington "less glamorized" by painting images of the slaves he owned or the price paid with Native Americans' blood during westward expansion.
In his interview with historian Fergus M. Bordewich, Bordewich explains:
[Arnautoff] included those images not to glorify Washington, but rather to provoke a nuanced evaluation of his legacy. The scene with the dead Native American, for instance, calls attention to the price of 'manifest destiny.' Arnautoff's murals also portray the slaves with humanity and the several live Indians as vigorous and manly.
Those who condemn the murals have misunderstood it, seeing only what they sought to find. They've also got their history seriously wrong. Washington did own slaves—124 men, women, and children—and oversaw many more who belonged to his wife's family. But by his later years he had evolved into a proto-abolitionist, a remarkable ethical journey for a man of his time, place, and class.
The removal of the mural is expected to take at least a year, according to district staff. Before proceeding with painting over the mural, its historical significance requires an environmental review.
In the case that the painting takes more time than expected, the district could cover it with panels. Three years, Sanchez said, would be considered "undue delay."

The phrase "the Fall of America" suggests some cataclysmic event ended the American Empire which had stretched from Maine to California and Florida to Washington. But at the end, there was no straining at the gates, no barbarian horde that dispatched the Empire in one fell swoop. Rather, the Empire fell slowly, as a result of challenges from within and without, and changing over the course of hundreds of years until its form was unrecognizable.

The only way socialism has any chance in America is for the education system to push it in schools. Remember, the father of their modern education 'Elite' beliefs is John Dewey. Dewey was a communist, failed teacher who pushed what are now clearly failed education theories. Here is the quote of the day. "This militant crowd is comprised of uninformed and misinformed people looking at themselves as unfortunate, underpaid, underappreciated victims of capitalism, overwhelmed with jealousy that there are people who are everything they are not."

Armando Colombo, CEO, is shown on the campus of The Menninger Clinic, 12301 Main St., Tuesday, Dec. 8, 2020 in Houston.
When many other businesses closed and sent their workers home in the spring, the Menninger Clinic stayed open for the patients who needed them.
Nine months into the pandemic, the mental-health care provider is back on its feet as patients return to the clinic for crucial therapy and counseling services after a $5.4 million federal loan to support more than 400 staff jobs. It broke ground on a new campus in November, which is expected to open by 2022 to accommodate the heightened demand for counseling, addiction recovery programs and telemedicine services.
Armando Colombo, a seasoned health care executive who came to the Menninger Clinic just six months before COVID-19 hit the U.S., has had many stops along the way to Houston. He was previously chief operating officer at Sheppard Pratt Health System in Baltimore, one of the oldest private psychiatric hospitals in the country. Before that, Colombo was chief executive officer of Vanderbilt Stallworth Rehabilitation Hospital in Nashville.
Menninger's main campus is in southwest Houston, with three additional outpatient and treatment centers in the city. The Menninger Clinic and Foundation, founded 95 years ago in Topeka, Kan., employs nearly 500 workers across those locations and reported revenue of $58.7 million in fiscal 2019.
Colombo spoke to Texas Inc. about how the pandemic has hit Houston's biggest mental health treatment system and what lies ahead as it balances telemedicine with offering high-quality psychiatric services.
See MoreCollapse
Q: What has the demand for mental health services looked like since March?
A: Early on, we were affected by the the stay-at-home order because people couldn't travel. Fast forward to now, we're seeing an increase in demand, especially in the adolescent treatment program, which is currently at the highest census in the last five years. It's definitely a need and it tells us that young people are struggling.
WHAT WILL HAPPEN: As deaths by suicide continue to rise, mental health workers worry about the 2020 effect
We're also seeing an increase in services for professionals who have been struggling during the pandemic. Again, I think a lot of folks have sort of held themselves together and now they're really realizing they're in need of help.
Q: The Menninger Clinic sees a lot of patients who fly in from across the country to see your specialists. How has the pandemic changed that?
A:We never closed, never reduced services. We had travel restrictions in Texas, and other states had travel restrictions on getting back to their state. Once those travel restrictions have released, we continued to see patients travel from elsewhere to get here.
We have been very fortunate to have not had a single active COVID case here at the clinic. But we have been extremely diligent in screening every day. For instance, when I get here, I get a temperature screening, get a mask outside and get asked a series of questions. We've done that since early March with all of our staff, physicians, vendors that come. We've restricted visitation a lot and gone virtual. We get about 60 percent of patients that are in patient come from outside of Houston. Now every person that comes to the clinic for inpatient, either comes with a COVID test, or gets one while they're here. We also have ordered a rapid COVID machine.
Q: Did the pandemic shift back or hasten the introduction of any new programs?
A: Our telepsychiatry program out of Bellaire was a full-service, in-person clinic that we immediately switched to accommodate all of our patients. We also created virtual assessment programs for people who couldn't travel but still wanted to get that time in outpatient. Most of these things were all in the works, we just moved them up to meet needs during pandemic. I think it also led us to think about how to create additional programs like addiction recovery management programs. That's going to be a program we'll launch in the January to February timeframe.
My next piece is how do we help people stay healthy and not go backwards? Especially during a time when we may be discharging people to a situation where they're going to be isolated, they're going to be out having to work from home, which is very different. We've adapted to the Zoom world, but I would say it's not ideal. So we're trying to figure out how, on top of the pandemic, do we help people maintain their mental health after they leave the clinic and create some alternative programs to get them connected and still have that support..
Q: I've been thinking a lot about the permanent sticking power of telehealth. What are some of the things you think have been introduced during the pandemic that are going to stick around even after things start to return to whatever the new normal will be?
A: Across the country, we've seen that telepsychiatry can be done and done well. We're trying to streamline the appointment process so that when you are in need, you can self-register and we'll make the process quicker and easier. I think one of the most frustrating things about mental health is, "How I get an appointment? Who do I call? If it's three months from now, I need help now." Crisis services will be here to stay and expand because we don't want people to go to the emergency room. That should be the last resort.
What we will see is additional services added in primary care clinics and pediatricians' offices so that there's somebody there when you're in with your child and their physician notices something. They can refer them right there to somebody who can help. Maybe it's a short visit, maybe it's on a follow-up visit, but at least it's getting them noticed and help right away..
Q: What is the financial reality for the Menninger Clinic right now?
A: The first few months of the year were tough. It didn't really recover where we thought it would until probably mid-September, and in October, with the increase in census. I'm extremely proud of my board and our leadership team that we stayed committed to our folks. We did get some help from the Paycheck Protection Program, so we were able to keep everybody working in some capacity. We didn't furlough anybody, didn't have any layoffs. We felt that even though we were going to have a dip in our business with the travel restrictions, we knew that we would need all our folks once things relaxed a bit. We're thankful we were able to keep people working..
Q: I remember you mentioning early on that staffing was crucial during the pandemic.
A: Staff hopefully remember when there was a crisis and the work community came together. We've had a lot of people working at home for safety reasons, trying to decrease the density on campus. I think we've learned a lot from that. There are some conditions that going forward, they may be able to be maintain at home and that might be an advantage for folks who are trying to manage virtual school and work at the same time or schedules with their spouse or partner.
So we're trying to be as flexible with that as we can. Maybe you come in once a week or every two weeks to meet with your team in-person. We switched to (Microsoft) Teams, which has been a tremendous advantage for us to stay connected to people. But I think we're looking at the world a little bit differently. It was unheard of two years ago, three years ago, to work from home. And now we're finding people can still be pretty efficient at home. I find that our meetings online are more efficient, there's less time for chitchat.
MASK MAKER: Inside the Houston PPE supplier making masks, hand sanitizer dispensers and disinfecting robots
We're trying to put together some work from home policies and procedures for the future to be as flexible as possible and give people options. I think what we'll end up with is some sort of hybrid, where maybe I'm home Tuesdays and Thursdays, and in the office Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. I have, except for a few days here and there, made it a point to come in and work. I think from a leadership standpoint, it's important to be visible and be here to support your staff..
Q: What does the future hold?
A: From a growth standpoint, we're going to go forward with our strategic plan that we call Menninger 2025. We'll be 100 years old in 2025. Our new building just broke ground and that should launch in the spring of 2022. This coming year, we'll be spending a lot of time getting plans, programs and resources ready, so when that door opens we're ready to go. I think for 2021, we're going to continue to grow. We're going to try and look at efficiency in our systems, program adaptation for folks to be able to access the clinic. We're working really hard on some insurance agreements, trying to make access more affordable for some who have never been able to afford the Menninger Clinic.
We're really trying to be an active participant in the community, especially with things like our Harris County Sheriff's Office employees and their families, HISD and all of the areas in town that really need expertise and help. We're really trying to become much more a part of it than maybe we were in the past.

A homemade, highly economical face scrub that you can use without much trouble. Soak the pink washed 2 tbsp whole masoor or split masoor dal (red lentils) (You can also buy it from here) overnight in a cup of water. In the morning grind it into a paste and add a few drops of coconut oil/olive oil in it. Apply on your face and allow it to dry a bit. Then scrub it off with a cotton wool soaked in glycerine in small circular motions to slough off dead skin. Your skin will literally glow. Do this twice a week if your skin is oily/combination and once a week if it's normal to dry.
Powder masoor dal and mix with equal amount of rice powder . If possible powder some dried mint leaves and mix with the masoor dal and rice powder. keep this in a bottle and use this as a scrub whenever you wish. this will help to remove dirt from ur body.

How is Canadian Legalization Going to Roll Out?
But then actions followed the words, and a bill was introduced in 2017 that would legalize cannabis at the federal level, effectively abolishing current prohibitionist laws. Trudeau's initial timeline was hasty—his goal was for the country to see its sales launch by July 1.
While legalization in Canada is most certainly on its way, July 1 will probably come and go before the new law is implemented.
One Senate committee recommended that legalization be delayed for up to a year to give the government more time to collaborate with Indigenous groups in light of the production facilities that will be based on Indigenous land. Chair of the Aboriginal Peoples' Committee, Senator Lillian Dyck, explained the need for more time.
"If the community wants to pass some kind of bylaw that restricts it in some way, that has to be hammered out with the federal government before this becomes law," she said. On the other hand, cannabis could be very profitable for Indigenous groups. "If you want First Nations to get ahead, then you have to provide them with equal opportunity for the economic opportunities that arise," Dyck said when discussing the possibility of giving First Nations a cut of the tax revenue.
Another committee suggested a year delay to give police departments more time to prepare for what will likely be a major cultural evolution. Law enforcement has expressed confusion and frustration with how little they have been included in the legalization process. For example, Ottawa police have stated that they have not been informed of the costs of legalization or the kind of equipment or training they will need once pot becomes legal nation-wide. Law enforcement officers will need devices to test sobriety, places to store illegally cultivated or amassed pot, and education on the plant itself.
Other recommendations include providing a limit on the amount of dried cannabis a person is allowed to store at home, more leniency for minors who are caught with small amounts of cannabis, and an agreement with the United States about how Canadians will be treated when trying to legally cross the border.
On the other hand, senators are worried that continuing to delay legalization does nothing to combat the black market. What everyone can agree on here is that prohibition does not actually stop people from purchasing and consuming pot. The longer that prohibition remains, the longer the illegal market remains in control of the cannabis market. "If we keep delaying it, we just keep the illegal market wide open," said Liberal Senator Jim Munson.
Moreover, regulators are not on the same page as entrepreneurs when it comes to how cannabis sales will launch and progress. This is especially true in light of a regulatory standard imposed on the industry in March. Canada's health regulator has mandated strict the packaging and labeling of recreational weed so that the brand is understated. This is a tough pill for producers and processors to swallow since building a brand is an essential part of market growth. Additionally, some experts predict that sales will be slower than anticipated as consumers slowly transition out of the black market and producers struggle to meet demand in the beginning months.
These variables have lowered investor morale, causing dips in Canadian cannabis stocks that are particularly noticeable following the skyrocketing gains between October and January. However, stocks will probably get closer to their pre-slump numbers (though not quite so high) after the June vote and as implementation nears.
In the first half of the twentieth century, Canada's southern neighbors were in a tizzy about the devil's lettuce. The "marijuana menace" became an all too easy to target symbol American bigots could pin their xenophobic and racist fears on. Because the narcotic use of cannabis assimilated into American society alongside the Mexican refugees who brought it with them, weed and anyone who used it was regarded as dangerous, crass, and probably insane. Even though rates of cannabis use in Canada were almost non-existent, the fear seemed to have caught on. For no clear reason, Canada prohibited cannabis at the federal level in 1923.
During the 1960's, another frenzy swept up the United States and throughout Canada as well. This time, it was the psychedelic culture of the times—one that celebrated the consumption of psychoactive substances including the never more popular ganja. Between 1962 and 1972, cannabis use in Canada exploded. Since then, prohibitionist cannabis laws have ensnared countless lives in Canada's criminal justice system.
In 2000, the Ontario Court of Appeal began to turn things around. The court ruled in favor of Terrance Parker, an epilepsy patient who illegally used cannabis to treat his condition. The court ruled that the prohibition of cannabis was an unconstitutional infringement upon Parker's right to "life, liberty, and security." A year later, legislators took action as well. Cannabis was legalized for medical use at the national level in 2001.
In 2015, after making cannabis legalization a central component of his platform, Justin Trudeau was elected Prime Minister of Canada. Two years later, the Liberal party introduced the Cannabis Act to parliament, the very law that hoped to legalize cannabis for recreational use at the national level by July 2018. Although the launch of recreational sales has been delayed, Canada has come too far to turn back. And even though waiting can be frustrating, Canadians can take heart that their government is doing its part to prepare for what will be a multi-billion dollar, culture revolutionizing industry of which their country has become the de facto leader.

Showing my b00bs was an honest mistake – #BBNaija Alex
May 21, 2018 Damex MrCoded CELEBRITY INTERVIEWS 0
Big Brother Naija is over, but the ripple effects can still be felt and everyone who partook in the show cannot claim to be the same again.
Alex who was one of the contestants and was even part of the top 5 sat down for an interview in which she discussed a lot of issues and one of the ones that inevitably came up was her nudity in the house when she seemed to expose her breast to the public.
At the time it was perceived to be a publicity stunt and many have slammed her for it.
She, however, said that it was not on purpose and that it was not supposed to happen.
Answering the question posed to her on the issue, she said: "Showing my breast while I was in the house was an honest mistake. It was unintentional and it was not done because I wanted to have more fans"
She was tight-lipped about reports that said she had an abortion for a former boyfriend when she was much younger. She did say that the story has been twisted. She said; "That is something I haven't even discussed. I think that issue was grossly misinterpreted and it is something I don't even want to explain right now. I want everyone to believe whatever they want to believe. I was close to Princess' brother but there was never a story like that about him."
She also made mention of her Father's condition and her family background, "I really don't have much to say about that but I think it is a very wrong for anyone to say that I am from a poor background. I won't describe my family as poor because I haven't suffered all my life. At some point, we had financial issues but that was in the past. I wasn't supposed to say it in the house but that is okay. Everyone is entitled to their opinions about my background because a person's background doesn't determine where he or she is going to end up. Coming from a poor background and being where I am today is something I should be proud of. Also, the issue of my father's illness is personal. I didn't win the money but right now, I am going to work hard to ensure he gets proper treatment."

Marginalization of Women in Islam: Problem Interpretation
Ahmad Faisal
IAIN Sultan Amai Gorontalo
This article aimed to find out the development of a view that tends to marginalize women is certainly not derived from religious teachings, but is more influenced by problems of interpretation. Although sourced from the same reference namely the Qur'an and Hadith, the interpretation of gender relations in Islam developed into diverse variants. Among the important factors that encourage diversity are the different perspectives on the inclusion of sociological and historical considerations in making interpretations. For interpreters who agree, historical elements, sociology must be taken into consideration in interpreting the verse. If the element is ignored, then the interpretation that appears will contain bias. That factor causes the interpretation paradigm of creation mythology, the involvement of women in the public sphere and several related issues about fiqh which seem contradictory to the main mission of Islamic teachings that puts forward the spirit of justice and equality. Therefore, reinterpretation of even the interpretation of interpretations is necessary. Therefore, it can easily reveal how far an interpretation correlates with the socio-cultural order of society when the interpretation is present. With this kind of paradigm, the discourse is distorted from the building of religious understanding which has been dominated by masculine interpretations, can be avoided.

CYA offers those players with a higher skill level an opportunity to participate in the county-wide Fairfax County Youth Basketball League (commonly known as Travel or Select). Travel coaches are re-selected each summer through an interview procress. During tryouts held in early October, the coaches select 10-11 players per team from among all those who sign up at registration for Travel. The number of teams per age group is determined by the talent available at tryouts (with a maximum of 3 teams per age group). Practice begins as soon as the teams are selected. This program requires a greater time commitment from participants for practice (2-3 hours per week) and games (1-2 per week); most games are played at gyms across Fairfax County (often outside the Chantilly area) and in Falls Church, Arlington, or Alexandria. Girls programs are offered at the ages of 10 and under, 11 and under, 12 and under, and 14 and under (note that the 14 and under team is composed primarily of 8th graders). The placement of players is generally determined by their age as of 1 October, with two grade exceptions allowed per team. In addition, all CYA players must reside in Fairfax County and, by FCYBL rules, are limited to our allocated zip codes (22033, 20151, 20171, 22124, and 20120), with 2 zip code exceptions allowed per team.
Age is determined by the player's age as of October 1st 2005. For example, a player who is 11 as of 11:59 PM on September 30th would normally try out for the 11 and under team. However, each team is allowed a maximum of 2 age exceptions for those players who are older than others in their grade (for example, a player who is 12 as of 11:59 PM on Sept. 30th but in 6th grade could try out for the 11 and under team). Note too that FCYBL also strictly limits the number of players aged 9 years and below who can be selected to the 10 and under teams to no more than 50% of any single team.


I was born in good old Wayne County way back in 1964. That makes me old, but not nearly as old as Doc or Greg. I grew up loving music and since I couldn't sing or play an instrument, radio seemed like a good way to be involved. I graduated from Clay City High School in 1982, and went to Wabash Valley College for the Radio Program.
I've worked in radio since 1986 at a few different stations around Illinois. Started at 979 XFM and later KJ Country 102.3 way back in 1994, and have enjoyed nearly all of it. I'm married to Kim who works at Sara Bush Medical Center. We have two kids Hailey 22 and Joel 19, and I love them all very much. I'm the program director for this little place we call home, and also co-host The Morning Show.
I love Neil Young can't stand Celine Dion (you already knew that, lol) . I hope you enjoy the stations I program. Let us know if you do.
If you don't, I blame it on Wayne and Brian.


April 10, 2018 - 'Tis the season for hurricane forecasts & preps.
First.... Dr. Phil Klotzbach's annual early April forecast for the season (June 1 - Nov. 30) ahead. "About average" is the call for now. Much is predicated on at least a weak El Nino (warming of the equatorial Pacific) continuing through the summer which usually at least cuts down on the number of tropical storms & hurricanes. NOAA will issue their forecast in mid to late May.
We'll get a chance to see hurricane hunter aircraft up close & personal as well as a myriad of other hurricane info. when the NOAA hurricane awareness tour makes a stop in Brunswick, Ga. May 10th.
The National Hurricane Center is offering up a free webinar May 9th for 4th through 6th graders. Great opportunity for science teaches. More info. ** here **.
Two names were "retired" from last year - Florence & Michael. Remember that the list of names repeats every 6 years & is decided upon by the WMO (World Meteorological Organization).
Apr. 8 (evening): The waxing crescent Moon, Aldebaran, Mars, and the Pleiades star cluster form a diamond in Taurus.
Apr. 9 (evening): The Moon has leapfrogged over Aldebaran and now sits some 5° above the Bull's brightest star.
Apr. 11 (evening): Mars approaches Aldebaran, and will be less than 7° from the red giant for the next seven nights. The star is twice as bright as the planet.
Apr. 13 (evening): The waxing gibbous Moon, in Cancer, is 2° from the Beehive Cluster (Messier 44).
Apr. 14 (evening): The fattening Moon visits Leo and is about 5° from the Lion's brightest star, Regulus.
Apr. 22 (evening): The Lyrid meteor shower peaks tonight. Best viewing is during the pre-dawn hours that day, but the waning gibbous Moon, three days past full, will interfere.
Apr. 22 (morning): The Moon, by the claws of Scorpius, is some 7° from Antares.
Apr. 23 (night): The thinning Moon, Jupiter, and 51 Ophiuchus form a tight triangle from when they rise shortly before midnight to sunup.
Apr. 25 (morning): The Moon and Saturn are some 3° apart. For those in Eastern Australia, New Zealand, and western South America, the Moon will occult the ringed planet on the morning of the 26th.
May 2 (dawn): Look toward the east just before sunup to see Venus rise; paralleling the Morning Star's path some 5° to the lower right you might glimpse the very thin crescent Moon.
May 6 (morning): The Eta Aquariid meteor shower is best, especially for viewers at southern latitudes.
May 6 (dusk): The thin waxing lunar crescent is 2° to 3° upper right of Aldebaran.

Optimistic Martin O'Neill eyes home comforts in play-off second leg
BY: Jamie Casey
MARTIN O'Neill insists his Republic of Ireland side must make the most of having home advantage in the second leg of their Euro 2016 play-off tie with Bosnia.
Ireland travel to the Bilino Polje Stadium in Zenica for the first leg on Friday, November 13, before the return fixture at the Aviva Stadium on Monday, November 16.
O'Neill will be without suspended duo Jon Walters and John O'Shea for the first leg and is therefore expecting a tough encounter, but he's in an optimistic mood following the draw.
"If there's any slight advantage to be had maybe it's our second game being played in Dublin," said the former Celtic boss. "But, that said, we need to perform out in Bosnia to make sure that second game means something and that will not be easy but we're there and we have a chance.
"We will give it absolutely everything we have got to get to France. We've got a few problems to negotiate, we've got a couple of suspensions that are there. Who knows what might happen in the next couple of weeks – injuries are always a possibility.
"Whatever comes we will go for it. We will give it absolutely everything we have got to get to France.
"We had terrific results against Germany, the draw out in Germany and a home win, and because that's so recent we can draw real confidence from it."

Q: Minimal awaitable example I wonder why the following programme crashes. How to use awaitable not with boost::asio::async_write/async_read functions.
Let's see:
#include <iostream>

#include <boost/asio/io_context.hpp>
#include <boost/asio/co_spawn.hpp>
#include <boost/asio/detached.hpp>

using boost::asio::io_context;
using boost::asio::co_spawn;
using boost::asio::awaitable;
using boost::asio::detached;

awaitable<void> task() {
  std::cout << "hello" << std::endl;
  return awaitable<void>{};
}

int main() {
  try {
    boost::asio::io_context io_context(1);

    co_spawn(io_context, task(), detached);

    io_context.run();
  } catch(const std::exception &ex) {
    std::cerr << ex.what() << std::endl;
  }
  return 0;
}

This results in
hello
(Segmentation fault)

What is wrong about it?
UPD: self-solved.
I should just use co_return. Thus it must be the following:
awaitable<void> task() {
  std::cout << "hello" << std::endl;
  co_return;
}

A: digging into the sources of boost::asio::awaitable, I figured out that I just should make use of co_return keyword. Surprisingly, it is not shipped with boost. It is enabled either by -fcoroutines flag or -std=c++20. Unexpectedly. Having said that, it is solved.


Under the Big Oak Tree: I'm going to lose it! I've got a new plan!
Some of you may have noticed that I didn't do a weight loss post last week. I really needed some time to re-evaluate my plan to lose weight and get healthy.
Last week was another week without a loss and most importantly, without a gain. I knew the reason for the lack of change. It wasn't very difficult to figure out. I wasn't making any changes in my eating habits. I wasn't helping myself in my journey to lose weight and be healthy.
Blogging each week about losing weight wasn't making me accountable enough. Something had to change.
I recieved an email from Weight Watchers. Although, I haven't been part of the online program for several years, I still get emails. I'm glad I did. They were running a special and I mentioned it to my Joe. He encouraged me to sign up again since it worked so well for me in the past.
Let me tell you, I hate the idea of having another bill to pay. I really, really do. But I'll hate it even more if I fall off the wagon and not keep up with the program. So, I think this will really keep me accountable............I hope.
I signed up last week for the online program (no meetings). Yesterday was my first day on the program. It was a challenge. I ate up my points pretty quickly since I don't have any low-point items in the pantry at the moment.
I chose Monday for my weigh in day. I want to try to only step on the scale on Monday mornings. Meaning, I don't want to drive myself crazy by checking the scale all week.
I stepped on the scale for my weekly weigh in and found that I somehow managed to lose 2 lbs. last week. I'm not sure how I accomplished that, but I'm happy with the loss!
That brings me to a 3.8 lb. loss so far.
I've decided to skip the mini goals that I was originally going to do and just post the full amount of weight that I want to lose.
If I lose 68.2 lbs. I will be in the higher end of the "healthy range" for my age and height. I may decide to adjust this goal weight later to be slightly outside the "healthy range". We'll worry about that as I get closer.
I'll be tracking what I eat each day. Kind of like a food journal but I'll be using the Weight Watchers Plan Manager to track my foods and keep a tally of the points I use each day.
I'll be drinking lots of water. 6-8 glasses a day.
I'll be increasing fruits and veggies. 5 a day.
I'll be keeping up with my dairy intake. 2 a day.
I'll be taking an after dinner walk at least 3 nights this week.
I also want to start taking a multi-vitamin. I hate taking vitamins. They make me queasy and it takes me a long time to get used to them.
So, that's my plan for this week.
I'll be linking this to "How To" Housewife's Healthy Living blog carnival, a day late. Go and check out her weekly post! Every Monday, she shares great tips for getting healthy!
Sounds like a great plan. I started my weight loss journey again (always a struggle) on Aug 1. So I am interested in any motivation,tips,etc. I have done WW before with meetings & also online.I really like it but like you said~~another bill is the only drawback but it does help to keep you accountable.
Best of Luck & will keep up with your progress. I have about 63 lbs to lose. A long journey begins with a single step. I will check out the blog carnival.
Congrats on the loss! I suggest taking the vitamin before bed. I used to get nauseaus from taking vitamins in the morning or afternoon so just started doing it before bed. I figure as long as I'm taking it daily, that's what matters. Plus, if I'm going to bed, I won't get queasy.
Congrats on the loss. Keep working on it, sister!
I also feal nauseated with vitamins. I take mine just before bedtime and that seems to work.

Novis Spring 2014: Tech Meets Mid Century Modern
We named Novis one of the 15 labels to watch this New York Fashion Week and after seeing designer Jordana Warmflash's latest collection, we are even more confident in that decision.
While Warmflash's last collection was filled with lovely, simple '50s and '60s-inspired dresses, she went in a more (mid-century) modern direction this time around, and showed a whole lot more than just dresses.
Geometric prints and linear shapes referenced mid-century modern furniture and architecture. Warmflash named Eames and Herman Miller as influences. Those influences were hard to miss, as were the beautiful, vivid colors. Greens, yellows and blues were the most prominent and made for one of the most cheerful presentations we've been to this week.
And while many of the looks were quite loud (yet wearable), it was the smaller details that really impressed us, like Warmflash's use of "techy" fabrics like a slightly squishy yellow mesh "honeycomb" top, which was a lot more chic than it sounds, and an assortment of vests and dresses made of a printed teflon: totally waterproof and totally gorgeous.
The collection was "a bit of a departure," as Warmflash put it, "in terms of a full collection." It was certainly more varied and ambitious than her past efforts, and she pulled it off with aplomb.
Another result of her growth as a designer: celebrities wearing her clothes. We chatted up the adorable Morgan Saylor (aka Dana from Homeland), who told us she plans to wear the label to the Homeland red carpet premiere Monday. With a number of stunning dresses making us swoon at the presentation, we're sure plenty more red carpet moments will follow.

Lela Rose Spring 2014: Mid-Century Beauty
It's a fact: Lela Rose just knows how to make pretty clothes. For spring, she found her inspiration for those beautiful clothes in the work of mid-century Danish industrial designer Arne Jacobsen.
Delpozo Spring 2014: Voluminous Gypsies
Thirty-nine-year-old Madrid-based label Delpozo is enjoying a relatively quiet revival thanks to new creative director Josep Font, whose spring 2014 collection--his third for the house--will likely drum up quite a bit more buzz. And not just because of the glamorous front row--including Olivia Palermo and Lauren Santo Domingo, the latter of who was an early supporter of Font.

Creatures of the Wind Spring 2014: Perfect Imperfection
Creatures of the Wind will probably always be one of those labels getting accused of going too commercial or mainstream, because their first couple of collections were so not either of those things. But even if they have gone in a somewhat more salable direction, they've never strayed far from their DNA and this collection, even if it felt more conventionally pretty than others, was unmistakably them.


If passed, companies will have to certify they do not violate civil rights laws by boycotting a foreign country, including Israel, the only country mentioned by name.
The U.S. California State Assembly voted 60-0 on Tuesday to send an anti-BDS bill to the governor for approval, a week after the Senate passed it.
The bill, which the Senate passed in a 34-1 vote on August 24, differed from its original version introduced in April by Assemblyman Richard Bloom, a Santa Monica Democrat, The Jewish Journal reported.
The earlier version banned the state from making contracts worth over $100,000 with companies boycotting Israel. In order to satisfy critics, who said it violated the constitutional right to boycott, the bill was modified to include reference to other countries.
The version that was passed Tuesday does not prohibit companies working with the state from boycotting Israel. Rather, companies have to certify that they do not violate California civil rights laws in boycotting a foreign country – including Israel, the only country mentioned by name – according to The Jewish Journal.
"The bottom line is that the state should not subsidize discrimination in any form," Bloom said Monday in the State Assembly.
Gov. Jerry Brown has 12 days to approve or veto the measure.
Dean Schramm, the American Jewish Committee's Los Angeles chairman, said his group is "very confident" that Brown will sign the bill into law.
"This bill sends the clear and unmistakable message that the state of California wants no part of the goals and tactics of this pernicious movement," Janna Weinstein Smith, director of the AJC's Los Angeles Region, said in a statement.


A natural pool could be an attractive pool type to any homeowner. Natural pools, as their name suggest have a natural look which can blend in with all the nature in your backyard. We offer natural pools in NJ with the best-looking designs.
The visual appeal of a natural pool is its best feature, rather than choosing a traditional pool which uses chemicals. Natural pools create a relaxed environment, which allow you to get your mind off all the problems of everyday life. A natural pool is supposed to look like a natural water source such as a pond, which is why some people might refer to them as pond pools.
Natural pool designs are endless and we can offer a variety of options to go along with them. Wood deck patios look great but it is really preference and dependent on the color of your home. Some additional features that go well with natural pools are natural rock waterfalls. The natural rocks are a perfect touch to any pool and will give the backyard a personal touch that you cannot get with other pools.
To learn if natural pools are good fit for your backyard give us a call or email. We have over a decade of experience in landscape design and pool construction, rest assure you are in good hands.


Sprouts is an elemental. Prince Charming is aquatic. Runts is a beast.
These pets are pretty easy to beat with the right match ups. I used Garden Frog against Sprouts, alternating between Frog Kiss and Healing Wave on cooldown. I used Blue Dragonhawk Hatchling against Prince Charming, just repeating Quills over and over. Finally, against Runts, I used the Clockwork Gnome.


Kensington and Southwark were sister ships which began their careers with the American Line, and then served Red Star and the Dominion lines before heading to the shipbreakers. Despite these changes, both ships retained their original names.
In 1902, International Navigation changed its name to International Mercantile Marine and acquired a number of other lines, including the Dominion Line. After making their final Red Star voyages in March 1903, Southwark and Kensington were placed on Dominion's Liverpool-Canada service and remained there for the rest of their careers. Kensington made her final voyage in November 1908 and was broken up in 1910. Southwark made her final trip in May 1911 and was scrapped later that same year.
